and then we will be fine.
Barb!
Yeah, okay.
[BIRDS CHIRPING]
Nope, nope... No, no...
So fucking...
DAVE: Yup!
She's a tree-hugger...
I swear this town is full of fucking hippies.
Oh I wouldn't call her a hippie; she's something much more.
Walton what did I tell you about sneaking up on me?
I really can't remember.
This is a good look on you, though. Do I get three wishes?
Ha-ha... Not funny David.
I don't make fun of you for looking like a corporate zombie
from time to time.
[LAUGHING] Get a way!
Who's the nymph?
The what?
Oh... her.
I don't know what her name is
but she ran out in front of my truck, naked...
as I was gonna go past the Green Belt.
Uncle Walton: Peculiar...
I wonder...?
Wonder? What?
You wonder what?
What?
Oh, nothing. Come along now.
Gather your friend and come inside.
I have tea set up and some magic brownies
fresh from the oven.
Were you expecting us?
David, don't ask stupid questions
when you already know the answer.
But I don't.. I don't know the answer.
Weird...
Hey! Stevie Nicks?
[BIRDS FLUTTER AWAY]
Stevie Nicks?
Do you want to come inside and get some tea?
[DOOR SLAMS]
Does your friend want something to drink?
I think she's fine.
I've got a bunch of new kinds of teas, what would you like?
It's a green on green kind of day uncle.
Oh, you're smoking too?
I lost my job today so yeah.
You did. Ah...
I was... I was late every day again this month.
I mean I get that's not good that... I mean...
You should be on time. I don't know I'm just not an awful...
Thank you.
You know what... ?
I had just gotten that call right... when...
Peculiar indeed...
[COUGHING]
Well then smoke up my dear nephew!
I don't quite need those devices anymore.
I have an elevated palate.
[COUGHING]
Bullshit.
You'll see one day when the coughing catches up to you.
You know what really grinds my gears?
Please don't let it be about politics.
It's not that. I promise I'm not going to talk about him.
Thank the goddess!
Huh, Ha.
What's bothering you, David?
I'm just kind of glad
to not be part of some shitty tech company anymore.
Okay. And the problem is?
The problem is I never had the balls
to just go and quit myself.
DAVE: I had to fuck up again and again to just realize
I hated that job.
Everybody hates call centers.
It's whatever.
It is whatever.
Right now, you should take everything you're feeling
and focus it on your writing.
Create something out of all your frustration.
No, no, no... Don't lecture me about my writing, okay?
I get that enough from my mother.
I wasn't going to say anything more.
You know what you're just as bad at nagging as she is.
I swear two Tauruses raising a kid should be a crime.
I beg your pardon?
Nothing Uncle Walton.
Why must you insist on putting "uncle" in front of my name...
when you're either annoyed with me or want something?
Oh shit. You figured me out didn't you?
You're not that hard of a puzzle to crack nephew.
You're just annoyed with yourself
because you lost another meaningless job.
Now where did your little friend get off to?
Huh?
Shit!

Uncle Walton, I don't think you're going to believe me
but I just had the strangest dream.
What was that David?
Nothing...
Nothing. I just thought... It's nothing.
You look pretty...
Um... You never gave me your name.
It's Sera - short for Seraphim.
You spoke to her?
No. We did this very ancient technique of communication
called writing.
Oh.
She's special Dave, not slow.
How?
Because some people choose not to speak.
It's been a very strange day...
I had this really weird dream
which I think might have been real.
I'm sure it'll all make sense as the day goes on.
It's not every day we have an Earth Mother surfacing.
Earth Mother?
Wha..! What the what?
Alright. Alright!
Gosh you're pushy!
Where should I begin?
Dave, you and I have talked quite a bit
about magick over the years.
Not this bullshit again.
[SLAP] Why did you just hit me?
You - you crazy witch.
[SLAP] Stop insulting her kind.
What? Witch?
Yes!
It's like calling all Muslims terrorist.
How does that have anything to do with this?
UNCLE WALTON: Your friend...
No! She... she's not my friend.
Sera is not like us, she's special and very different.
And, it's her calling to be the Earth Mother.
I'm not even going to ask.
Stop asking questions...
Just let the information seep into your consciousness.
UNCLE WALTON: You're confusing your instincts
UNCLE WALTON: but you know this to be true.
You can feel it.
You were born to meet her.
So we were meant to meet in front of the Green Belt...?
You two are both insane
and you deserve one another. I'm out of here.
Sit!
What the fuck?
You're going to listen this time...
Magick is real and it's all around us.
It's what we call wild magick.
Now those who can manipulate it are called witches.
UNCLE WALTON: Some have other names, and
UNCLE WALTON: some choose other beliefs.
But all in all, you are from a race of people
who have passed along many gifts to their children.
You know, this is why my mom wanted me to stop
coming over here. Not because you were gay,
but because of this devil worshipping bullshit.
Not now!
UNCLE WALTON: I know he doesn't get it.
UNCLE WALTON: But he will in time.
UNCLE WALTON: Trust him. I promise.
Let me go!
UNCLE WALTON: No!
You, whether you like it or not
are a speeding bullet headed toward one destination.
And what the hell is that?
You're asking the wrong question.
I can't help you with this one.
You're going to have to make a choice
and either accept it or not.
The minute that I can get off this couch, I'm gone.
So until then, until you start telling me the goddamn truth,
if you don't tell me the goddamn truth,
I will never see you again. I promise you that.
UNCLE WALTON: Why are you acting this way?
Because I am tired of bullshit Uncle Walton!
I got fired from my job today
and all I want to do is go home and fry my brain out with weed.
What happened to you?
Nothing happened. I've always been this way.
"Magic" isn't real...
and I'm tired of you trying to make me believe in it.
Thank you.
She's going with you.
Excuse me?
I brought her here so
I did. I made her a dress.
Now I've prepared y'all the best that I can.
However, this journey is for you two to discover.
"You are killing me smalls!"
No I am not. I have plans to prepare for.
Now she has a rendezvous with a coven of Witches.
They will protect her until she goes home.
Oh...!
This will tell you when and where to meet them.
This is my address.
You gave a bunch of crazy witches my address?
What am I supposed to do until 4pm?
I don't know Dave...
Maybe do something creative instead of complaining?
Whatever...
Now you take care of yourself.
Dave: Come on!
He takes after his father who is a ripe old asshole.
He has a good heart.
He'll figure it all out. He just needs a little extra time.

Hey dude... I'm here to get some...
Ow! Ah!
CODY: Oh, oh...
Jesus you scared me. Ah...
Shit, you scared me.
Uh... Hey, ah, I'm sorry. Hey... Hi... Oh, I'm sorry.
Oh... I saw Dave's truck. Oh my god...
CODY: Phew... He takes naps.
CODY: I thought he was napping. Oh my god...
Are you... you a friend of Dave?
CODY: Okay... yeah, cool man. Um... Shit...
Uh... you wanna, you wanna smoke some weed?
(I'm) sure Dave won't mind...
(I've) known Dave for years.
He always gets the best shit from Colorado.
You live in an apartment here?
Oh, no-no-no. I wouldn't smell that.
Here let me show ya.
Yeah? Alright.
Breathe in.
I take it you dig it, huh? Yeah... right on!
You don't say much, huh?
You wanna get some fresh air before we hot box this room?
Yeah... right on!
Man, I always said Dave lucked out getting a great view here.
You look familiar to me, like we've met before.
Well this is different.
Oh Cody, you're here and smoking my weed, of course.
I really should start locking my door.
He's awake!
Getting over one of your sad clown moments?
Fuck you.
Touchy?
Dude, I lost my job today.
Yeesh. That blows.
You most certainly need this more than I do.
[CHUCKLES]
DAVE: Thank you.
Whose your uh... lady friend?
I don't know. Some girl named Sera.
I tried to drop her off at Walton's...
but, he was doing some weird magical bullshit.
This lady knows your cooky guncle?
Guncle?
You know, gay uncle. Duh, it's a thing.
To this day, I still don't know why we're friends.
Just know that my uncle is a weird fucking dude.
Well I could have told you that,I mean this is the guy
who tried to invite me to one of his "sex magick" ceremonies.
What? You never told me that.
Yes I did, well, I tried.
It was one of the first times I met him.
Whatever... All I know is that
I lost my job and now
I have to chaperone some hippy- dippy broad everywhere
Honestly dude, I spaced the moment
he started talking about magick.
It's always something otherworldly with him
and it creeps me out.
Well it's 'cause he's a Wizard, duh.
No he's not.
Yes he is.
Not like a Gandalf you shall not pass wizard,
but like, you know, a gay man, magical powers
who meditates all the fucking time.
What?
Dude...
I wrote a paper in undergrad...
you know occult histories, gay culture,
typically they were called shamans or healers.
I think everyone has taken a leap
towards the deep edge of insanity.
Calm down and smoke.
Witches and wizards are two sides of the same coin.
It doesn't matter if you're a man or woman -
you choose the path in front of you.
Gay men were called wizards because they were guardians
of the female magick,
Earth Magick.
Where did you learn all of this?
Books, duh.
But you don't actually believe it all, right?
Um, I mean when I was a kid,
it was the only thing that got me through hating myself.
So yes, I do believe in magick.
Whatever.
Look at this goddess sitting on your deck
doing lord knows what.
I think it's called meditating.
I don't know... My uncle said she's the Earth Mother
or something.
Seriously?! Shut up!
Yeah... What? Does that mean something?
The legend that Mother Earth's spirit can travel into a person
for a single day every 100 years...
There's a theory people used to covet her beauty
and everlasting youth,
so much so that
when the Catholic Church was formed,
they slapped a dick on her image...
and called her Jesus, just to change her story.
I watched this zeitgeist documentary on mushrooms;
totally blew my mind.
It's like this whole world was
built on making women look bad
just so a few men can control everything.
You're just as crazy as my uncle...
I told you to stop taking acid.
It's not the drugs.
Whatever...
Look a bunch of "witches" are suppose to be here at four.
Seriously? Oh my god!
What are you doing?
Dude! A bunch of witches are coming
to our apartment complex.
I'm most certainly not gonna look like
I just got off a morning shift
of a fuckin' hipster taco truck.
Well I'm not going to deal with any more of this crap, so
Do yourself a favor and go on a fucking adventure.
If she has one day on this planet,
come on, what do we have to loose?
Fuck it...
You say that magick is real
and that my gay uncle is some sort of wizard
I can't even keep a straight face saying that.
Who knows maybe there's some truth to this after all.
That's the Dave I know and love.
Don't you just feel that Earth Magick, love?

You're part of this whole witch coven

CODY: Fucking told you he was a Wizard, man.
Mm-hm, mm-hm...
Are you guys done with whatever this is?
Do I need to remind you that there are three crones

You guys want to let the viewers in on this?
It's nothing.
Well there's the Dave I know; just shrugging it off.
Fuck you, Vera!
Harsh man.
And what about you little dude?
How'd you get wrapped up in all this magical bull-malarkey?
Honestly, I don't know what the fuck is going on.
I just know that if I leave,
those weird crazies are going to kill me.
Okay and what's your name?
Most people call me Warren.
Yeah and I'm a fifteen year old twink with daddy issues.
You don't have to say your real name here.
I'm a fry cook for a over glorified taco truck.
They call me Cody.
You guys... obviously I am the only one here
that's seen all the John Hughes' films?
Like this is totally our 'Breakfast Club' moment.
CODY: God damn!
It's like I'm a camp counselor for fat camp
and I'm telling kids exercise is fun!
Come on get up get off your lazy asses!
Come on! Come on dude!
So now that we know you two know each other... Spill!
Dave and I grew up together.
His Uncle Walton was my foster dad
and I've been away from Austin for like ten years.
Give or take five, but who's counting?
Obviously you.
You fucking left Vera when shit got bad.
DAVE: You weren't there when my parents divorced.
You weren't there for anything...
I told you I was sorry in my note.
Like it mattered... back then.
That was harsh.
Sorry dude, but I don't even know her,
and I can tell she's trying.
Who the fuck are you again?
VERA: Dave, leave the kid alone.
No. He wants to chime in, so chime in.
DAVE: Who the fuck are you really?
DAVE: How do we know you're not part of this
DAVE: whole goddamn nightmare?
I'm just as lost as y'all.
Look...
I got this note saying to be here at 4pm...
And I just showed up
because I didn't have anything better to do.
So...
I, uh...
That's a lie I just moved here.
I'm lonely...
and when I got this note,
It gave me an opportunity to finally be a part of something.
Can I see that?
Uncle fucking Walton!
Do you know anything about this?
I think...
Aren't you supposed to be the deus ex machina of this?
Well it's not like I have a fucking instruction manual.
What are you and Walton up to?
You're not going to like it.
Please tell me there's not a full fucking moon tonight.
Bingo... One more you're headed for a triple hitter.
VERA: And uh... You're about to figure out
all of Walton's master plan.
You pagan folk and your damn rituals.
What's going on?
It looks like we all have to drink
a bunch of weird sludge tea together and trip out.
Ah... I could just die inside.
I can't do that.
Well, it's not like we really have a choice.
Who do you think is really pulling the strings here?

It's not scary necessarily, but
it's definitely weird the first time.

VERA: Well you don't necessarily, but...
to... have a truly transcendental experience...
to uh... "lift the veil" as it were...
Sometimes a substance can help
release the cognitive prison around our consciousness.
Damn. No one's ever explained
psychedelics like that to me before.
Well, I've been around the block a few times.
I wouldn't recommend doing psychedelics regularly.
Especially if you're using them to run away from your problems.

I am not here to hurt you.
Now that you can hear me,
thank you for coming to the edge of the universe with me.
There is nothing here...
as is life's beginning, until you create it.
You are why we, The Tangible Forces -
the mother figure, the father figure,
and the universal energy that binds us all, exist.
Each of you has a light bigger than mine.
It may seem hard to understand, but it is in your quest...
that you will find solace
through creativity's transformation.
I walked for centuries not knowing who I truly was inside
It took me millions of years
to simply understand my consciousness.
I was trapped inside my body by my own ego.
I created my own children, witches and wizards,
guardians of my eternal wisdom and energy.
They protected me and worshipped me...
until they forgot me.
I abandoned them because I was in pain.
The Great Flood came and with it destruction to all my land.
I went into hiding
and was forever trapped inside my real body,
Mother Earth herself.
When I awoke,
The Queen Crone had raised three daughters of divination.
My image had become that of a man,
and I no longer was called mother anymore.
I was abused... by all.
Every hundred years,
I would be fed on by my children out of fear and shame.
Each of you give endless worlds life
simply by creating them out of nothing.
That is why I exist
so that all my children may one day...
live in a reality to connect
for even a second;
to love, for a moment;
to create life outside of themselves.
The Universe is nothing without you.
You breathe existence into the darkness called space.
You must sacrifice your ego and create.
Do not stand in your own way because you are afraid.
I am nothing more than belief itself.
You were given everything you need at birth my children.
It is only Father Time's design
for you to figure out the truth inside.
I created you, Earth, in my image.
Then came your sister, Fire,
who birthed the land in her eternal flame.
Air cooled the land
and shaped the world in its everlasting bliss.
And you, Water, given to me by Father Time.
My protector since I could remember,
you never left my side.
Each of you have forgotten the past many times.
Be at peace my children
and stop hating yourself
for not knowing who you truly are inside.
Infinite Universes sit in the very apex of your mind.
It is your creative energy that replenishes my life force.
It's time for me to leave.
I hope that you may be able to share this message...
Make art...
Tell everyone's story...
and love one another unconditionally.
It is not hard but you make it hard to be happy.
The world is changing
and you must not miss the awakening
happening inside all of you.
Listen to us,
The Tangible Forces,
we're always guiding you
from a distance...
My Elemental Guardians...

Sera?
Where are you?
No...
Not like last time...
You can't leave me like last time.

HECATE: Welcome.
JOY: Hello grandmother. Just in time for dinner.
[ALL: LAUGHING]
HOPE: Can I carve her up this time?
PRUDENCE: I can't wait to have the spinal cord.
How dare you, I'm the elder!
Silence you insolent fools!
I am getting quite tired of your constant bickering!
HECATE: Now, my dear, do put up a struggle for once.
Get her!

[WAILS AND WHIMPERS...]
[MUSIC FADES SLIGHLY]
No. My babies! No, my children!
They're all that I had...
Why?
HECATE: Why?...
Why? Why? Why?
Why if you could destroy us so easily
did you let us consume you?
HECATE: I don't understand.
Why?
Why did you abandon me?
[HECATE: SOBS IN GRIEF]
You...
HECATE: You sacrificed yourself so I could live.
You allowed me to bring darkness into this world...
HECATE: so that you, you could bring your light.
I always loved you mother. I...
My time has come hasn't it?

[CRICKETS AND NIGHT SOUNDS]
It's okay.
It's okay I'm not mad.
I know now and I understand.
I am not your child.
You and I created this world.
I was just too stubborn to see past my own ego
and understand the entire truth of all that.

[DAVE: We've always been soulmates.]
Star-crossed lovers who made this world in our image.
[Adam and Eve.]
[Until we betrayed our love by covering the land in water]
[You loved me.]
[And yet all I wanted was to hate you.]
[You convinced me to follow Father Time's design]
[by killing so many of our children.]
[So I did it. And I could never forgive you.]
[MUSIC TRANSIITIONS TO MOURNFUL STRINGS MUSIC]
[MUSIC BEGINS TO SWELL]
A-ahhh!
Ahhhhhhhh!!!
[MUSIC SLOWLY FADES]
After centuries of depression, locked away in the ocean,
I washed up one day on an unfamiliar coast.
You were gone.
I lost my self and couldn't see past my own ignorance.
I've died and been born again so many times,
but it wasn't until now that I truly understood who I was.
Until this life...
this day, this moment between us.
You're not coming back are you?

I hope Dave's okay...
there's a lot of crap in this green belt.
Why don't you ask him?
Dude! Where have you been?
[BIRDS CHIRPING]
God, I'm fucking exhausted.
She's left.
I just want to thank you guys for everything.
I love all of you.
We know.
You were right Cody.
About what?
Magick is real.
I'm sorry dude.
Don't worry about it dude.
I mean, I am the next Earth Wizard.
[SOFT LAUGHTER]
And I should head back...
It's Monday and...
I'm already going to miss my first class of the day.
You go to UT?
Yeah I just transferred in from the New School in New York.
I'm sure we'll all see each other again.
Let me give you a ride.
You don't have to I can take the bus.
Come on we'll get tacos from my work; it's along the way.
Sure.
You okay?
Walton wanted you to have this.
I can feel my magick inside of it... growing.
Use it wisely, you never know where it might take you.
Dave there's something I should tell you about Walton...
It's okay.
I know.
Magick, man...
I can feel it speaking to me.
Bingo.
Welcome to the club.
[DAVE: You don't have to leave.]
I know...
but the road's calling my name.
Just know you've always got a home.
Thanks Dave.
Do you want some company?
I mean I don't know about you but I don't have a job;
The love of my life...
well lives... Just vanished.
I think the last thing I want to do
is be alone with magick right now.
So I guess what I'm asking is uh...
Will you be my Jedi master?
I don't know Dave, you might slow me down.
Yeah? We'll see about that.
[VERA: SNIFFS]
Fuck it.
You have a truck right?
DAVE: Do you have a license?
Oops.
DAVE: [CHUCKLE] Come on.
DAVE: What's our first adventure?
VERA: Oh my gosh, what is our first adventure?
VERA: I think it takes place in Canada.
DAVE: Oh, some cold would be nice again.
VERA: Right!
DAVE: Seriously.
