Original subtitles

Hey, everybody, it's the Barry Foyle AM Radio Hour.

Did you know every navel orange tree in the country comes from just a single tree

in Riverside imported from Brazil in 1870?

Tastier than Valencia citrus.

Pick up a bushel of Navels this Halloween and give the whole family

a bite out of history.

Do you still want to talk to the Methodist preacher?

Huh?

The Methodist?

Is it first harvest?

Give me everybody who says they saw this or they heard that.

I don't care how paranoid they sound.

I don't care how delusional.

We want to talk to them. Okay.

Someone just called in and said he counted eight stars in the Big Dipper.

I don't get it.

There's only supposed to be seven.

You are back with me, Barry Foyle

on the Barry Foyle AM Radio Hour.

You might be asking yourself why we are starting

earlier than our midnight start time.

And the answer to that is if you study history like me.

You might have read about Intercalation.

In the Middle Ages when you wanted to fill a yearly cycle,

sometimes you had to add a 13th month.

Only if the first of the month fell on the first day of spring solstice.

I mean, we're talking a time where days, months, years, were counted off

since the beginning of creation, a time when the world was only 5000 years old.

If you add a 13th month that means the new year

doesn't start on January 1st.

It starts

today,

October 15th.

So you might say that

this is the first day of the new year.

You might say that the first day

doesn't start until the sun comes up.

It actually starts the night before

at twilight

when the sun goes down

and the stars go up

and they fill the sky.

Welcome to a brand new year

-said the contract lasted six weeks - he's full of it.

-You think so? -Oh, yeah.

He's got money. - Said he couldn't afford more.

That's just his bullshit way of putting you out on your ass.

Should I talk to him?

Say what?

Just find something else.

There is nothing else.

Oh, come on. Sure there is.

Doesn't feel like it sometimes.

Okay. Well, ask mom for money, then.

Adam,

what's going on with fire?

Burns right through the grass.

Well, that's 'cause you're feeding it mulch that's dry as a nun on Sunday.

Grab some sticks, break them up.

Stars are falling.

We're fine.

Got the fire going.

Soon as it dies out, you get your asses back inside.

Okay.

Night, Dad.

Can I have a beer?

Cooler.

I ain't seen shit yet

Anybody?

- Not me. - Nope.

Anybody want to do the honors?

- You do it. - Every year?

Only one of us who knows Spanish.

Catalan.

All right. Who's got the ferry ring?

- In the trunk - Go get it.

Sal why don't you keep the fire burning.

Bet he doesn't have it.

He better. He was with me When we went to aunt Julie's farm.

Alfàbrega i valeriana,

menta i ruda...

salven tota criatura....

Got the apples?

They're from the store.

Doesn't matter.

Basil?

Sage?

- Rue? - Got the rue.

Valerian?

Valerian...

I swear aunt Julie gave it to me.

Did you check the bag?

Well, you were there, Julie said Valerian.

Go check the truck.

Probably just fell between the seats.

What happens if we don't have it?

Can't do the fairy ring.

We just get the shotgun out of the shed

- You can't shoot them. - Rob did.

When?

Last year out at Joshua Tree

Said he hid it in a burlap sack and buried it in the middle of the desert.

Meg has no idea.

I want to see it.

Heard it's bad juju.

Even just to look?

Not for more than 5 minutes.

Adam, you want to see a real witch tonight?

Hey don't get your hopes up.

Him and Meg just had a baby, so...

Think I just saw one.

They usually send alerts if...

We're safest here.

- Will you shut mine off? - Yeah.

You know, I had a dream they were coming early.

Oh, yeah?

Yeah.

You and Katelyn disappeared.

Is this a dream or a nightmare?

Bet you didn't mind it.

You know it wouldn't be so bad for a day or two.

I'm just kidding, hon.

You won't believe who just texted me

Hon?

Hon?

- What? - We said we wouldn't do that

Do what?

Oh my god I'm sorry. I didn't-I scared you-? I was just looking at the sky.

Who messaged you?

Bad boy Mikey.

Wondered if we had any valerian. Said they're trying to build a fairy ring

I think we should still have some of ours

Should I invite him up?

We have Katelyn here

- It's not gonna be a party, babe. - If he's driving all the way from Brawley...

...It's not just for Valerian

Do these ever get old?

It's actually a good question.

I don't mean like, as in, like, our taste to them.

Do they actually, like, get stale.

I don't think so. I think they're like 60% rubber.

Rubber and sugar.

Saw one.

You sure?

- Yup. - Adam you see it?

Nah.

Trick of the eye.

No, I really did it was just right there.

That's where we're going.

Make room

Oh, there's not enough.

Somebody's gonna have to sit in the back then, huh

- Hell no I'm not sitting back there - Pick straws

What's up, baby?

How you feeling, man?

This man brought a shovel

- We're getting in tonight, huh. - Absolutely.

You know you picked just about the worst night to do this.

We're good out here, right?

Yeah. Stars are quiet.

We saw one fall.

Goon squad.

Yeah, they're already spooked.

Do you think they could wait in the trailer while we go look for Valerian?

Thing is, Meg's finally getting

some decent shut eye with Katelyn

Right.

You cool in the back?

Yeah.

Let me go get some flashlights and stuff

I'll be right back.

No drinking 'til we get there.

I can't believe you.

Mike's here with his brothers.

We're just going for a drive.

It's dangerous, Rob.

Nothing's going to happen.

Love you.

See you soon.

Love you.

Gonna need those.

Hey, man...

Mind if I sit shotgun?

Meg sees me get in the cargo bay

It's gonna freak her out, you know?

Out.

Out. Shoo. Go.

Give them a beer for their troubles, man.

Yeah, take a beer.

What's the point of even worrying about it.

Heard it happens so fast,

You don't even have time to scream anyway.

Yeah but then what happens?

Where do you go?

She put a hex on you or something--

Oh to freeze my balls off.

- That was it, that was it - If blue balls is a hex it worked

You want one of these?

Nah man, I'm good.

Remember that story of them they went up by the lake

dancing around naked and stuff?

Oh, they weren't dancing.

I thought that story was bullshit.

- No-- - Orgies, and devil worship, all that stuff.

That was real. Her Mom was a born witch.

Yeah, I heard that.

Yeah she was from some small village in Andula...

Like, Anlaster? Something like that.

She got her powers from fucking a demon.

Jesus.

Oh, demons love to fuck witches.

- Yeah? - Oh, yeah.

So where's the body?

Just keep us on the road man, I'll get us there.

10 minutes?

Less, less.

How'd you shoot it?

A standard bolt action, 20 gauge.

It was just a lucky shot, honestly.

You must've been pretty close though.

I was out in that spot, you know, the one I was fixing up

Trying to make it into a little

getaway.

Built a fairy's ring, watched that like a hawk.

Katelyn was teething it wasn't like I was getting any damn sleep anyway.

So I figured, fuck it.

It's like

2am....I hear this sound like wind

They look like shooting stars on the way down

Then they go dark.

I had my pair of trusty night visions on me.

Those are the ones you gave Tommy to go snipe hunting.

Yeah, those ones. Yeah,

Oh my God

- Poor kid. - Poor Tom.

But they're...

They're too fast to see, but if you shoot in anticipation of where they're gonna be

It's just like...bam, dead in one shot.

What, the witch?

Yeah. Man.

Talking about the witch.

What do you think I'm talking about? Damn snipe?

I don't know, bro, no one's ever seen either one with their own eyes.

Yeah, well I have.

Is it what you expected?

No. No, it wasn't.

Meg see it?

Nah, don't want to freak her out.

I thought about telling my dad, but...

Hell for five minutes I thought about making it my own little side hustle

Like charge people money to come see it.

Yeah, something like that.

But then I figure, you know, with Meg's dad being sick and all

Raising baby Katelyn...it's just...

Me alone with the carpet business...

I can't have another spinning plate on top of the ones I got

Not without breaking one

You manage, man

You always figure it out

Every time I see you, you're all, like...

together.

I ain't together, Mike.

I mean...look at me

Can't eat, I don't sleep

I'm stitched together and falling apart at the seams here.

I'm like, like Frankenstein or something.

Frankenstein's monster.

What?

It'd be Frankenstein monster. Frankenstein's the doctor.

You would be Frankenstein's monster.

A lot of people do that.

But anyways, bro, what seams? I don't see any seams, bro.

I guess I hide them well

You're making it work, dude. Come on.

Meanwhile, I'm over here just trying to shake these fuckers loose.

Yeah,

You're gonna wish you had them around someday

Yeah

Like a sore on my ass.

How much longer?

We're almost there, hang tight

Whoa, slow down there, sunshine.

You don't want to come, best wait in the cab.

Oh, hell with that. I want to see it.

Right, Adam?

I don't know

Sure. Yeah.

Adam.

If you don't want to come,

you don't have to.

No, I want to.

All right, here are the rules.

Give me your phones.

Come on.

You can look.

But no pictures.

Second rule.

No touching.

Skin's like sulphuric acid

Can't get that shit off without Lysol, trust me.

Third.

Do not take anything.

You want to make a charm out of one of its fingernails to ward off evil spirits?

Don't. I miss anything Mike?

Yeah don't look at it for more than 5 minutes

and don't piss on it.

Serious.

Smell draws them out, especially from men.

Nothing you boys need to worry about.

Hey hey! That's what I thought.

Who's got the beers?

I do.

Good.

All right, time for a little trivia.

Whoever gets it right, gets a prize.

Which one of you can tell me

The first time a witch was drawn on top of a broomstick?

1700s.

- Adam? - 1600s?

Mikey I know you know this

- 1400s - Ding, ding, ding, we have a winner.

Does it have a broom?

We don't want to spoil it, do we?

Something I should probably tell you about...

the longer you spend with her

the harder it is to leave

5 minutes or less is alright

Any more than that, though...

What happens?

You start getting these...

funny thoughts like...

I could look at her all day,

Or I should make time to go up and see her

Make sure she's there.

Pretty soon you're just making excuses to go up...

Like, 'oh I got an hour, why not head up?'

Thoughts like that.

I used this as a marker, it doesn't mean anything.

Give me a few feet.

Wait 'til I get her out.

We're really lucky.

Soil's nice, soft and not too rocky.

If this was harder sediment

We'd be here till morning.

Mike, you want to give me a hand with this

Mike.

Yeah...shit.

Ready?

Get that. There you go.

A little bit of light here, Sal.

It's small.

It is small.

They burn up coming down.

They get smaller doing that.

Alright Mike.

Since you know so much about witches.

Why don't you do us the honor of opening her up.

You don't have to if you don't want to.

What, are you scared?

Nah, man, I mean, shit, it's dead right, so.

What's there to be scared of?

Why the hesitation?

I don't know.

I just, you know,

It was fun like, coming out here.

But now that we're here, I don't know, man.

It feels different.

Mike,

I brought you out here.

You asked me to bring you out here.

I know

Now you're clamping up on me. Clamping up on your brothers?

It looks like a kid.

Alright whatever. How about you Sal

You want to get in there?

Sure.

- Sal... - No, let Sal do it

I said I'll do it

When they don't harvest...

That's what they look like.

Gross.

Incredible.

I never seen pics online that look like this.

Crappy security cams don't catch shit.

Only way to see a witch is dead and up close.

What are you doing?

What are you doing?

What happens if beer gets on it?

Just a little spill nothing to worry about.

That's desecration.

No, that was an accident.

If he whipped his dick out and pissed all over her

Yeah, that'd be desecration.

And we'd have to burn her, but,

this is fine.

It's fine.

Maybe we should, just to be safe, right?

Maybe we should burn it, right?

We don't need you freaking out.

Guys I didn't mean to.

Fun's over. Back to the truck. Let's go.

We're leaving.

Hey, are you sure it's okay?

Rob said it's okay, it's okay

Can I sit with you in the cab? I don't want to sit in the back again.

Mike.

Can I sit with you?

Yeah. Go

Wait in the truck.

Rob, come here, look at this.

Hold on.

Did you make this?

Make what?

These rings.

Looks like a ceremony ring...

No...

That's funny.

Did you do that?

No.

Was there someone else here?

Your dad, maybe?

Dad wouldn't know his ass from a witch's tit.

There was somebody else here, Rob.

I didn't tell anyone, it was a secret.

You told us.

Look, if we just dug up a body in a ceremony ring,

we're in a lot of trouble, man.

This ain't a ceremony ring.

It wasn't even here when I buried her.

Then somebody came after.

Sal let's go.

Mike...

I want you to know I had nothing to do with this.

I believe you.

That's why you're not exactly making me feel any better about it.

Why don't you just go wait in the truck?

I'm not leaving you, man.

I prefer that to you standing there judging my ass

It's not safe for me to go to the truck alone.

And it's not safe for you to stand here burying this thing alone.

Put it in the ground

And let's fucking go man.

Sal let's go!

We're leaving!

Alright alright, hold your wad

Windy.

Christ, Mike, will you just relax.

It's first night of Harvest. Nothing ever happens on the first night.

Just get in the goddamn truck.

What's a matter?

Nothing.

No, you're spooked.

Mind your business.

He's just scared 'cause of what we saw.

- Sal... - What'd you see?

- I didn't see anything. - Mike. Come on, man.

We were in a ceremony ring.

- What's that? - Sal, you want to tell him?

It's where witches make new witches.

Like how?

The same way people make new people.

You need it spelled out?

It's sacred ground.

We're not allowed to be on it.

So we'd get in trouble.

Yeah.

Sal, would you check the glove box see if we got any music in there

Got some real winners in here, Mike.

- Hollowed by Thy Name? - No. What else.

- Dashiell Ames? - Before your time.

What else?

Nothing I'd want to hear

I'd like to see what you have.

No CD's. That's for sure.

I don't even listen to those

Probably all scratched up any--

Oh sh...

What is it?

We should have just stayed home and gone inside like dad said.

I don't know... I had a voice telling me not to go.

I didn't listen to it.

I didn't listen to it...

I'm sorry, guys.

I'm sorry...I'm sorry.

Ain't we gonna look for him?

There's no one to look for. He ain't out there.

He can't be gone!

He's gone, Sal. He's gone.

Okay? He's gone.

- You said we were safe! - I know what I said, Adam.

Nothing's 100%. We all took a risk coming out here.

All of us took a risk.

All of us.

What are we going to say to his wife?

I don't know.

I'm not that far ahead yet.

We got to tell her. We can't just leave.

- We gotta go back! - Sal I know.

Okay, Just let me think.

Please.

Okay. I know.

Just give me a second.

Just give me a second, huh?

...is not available

At the tone, please record your message.

When you are finished recording, you may hang up or....

Press 1 for more options.

She's not in there?

...is not available

At the tone, please record your message.

When you finished recording, you may hang up or...

Press 1 for more options.

Hey, Meg, it's Mike.

Listen, I'm outside in the truck.

If you could come out

It's pretty urgent.

Okay.

Where are you going?

- Going inside. - Don't do it.

What? Just leave?

- It's not worth it. - Not tonight.

- Hell with you guys. - Mike!

I'm fine. See?

I'm fine.

What if he comes out and we see him just disappear?

Don't say that.

It could happen.

Every year they're hungrier.

And they're coming earlier, too.

I mean, parts of Europe,

West Africa, they're seeing falling stars as early as August.

No way.

He's really taking her.

I'm gonna go get her stuff, okay?

What's her name?

Katelyn, I think.

She's so small.

How old is she?

Two, I think.

Should we give her some food?

Just wait, when we get home mom's gonna know what to do.

missing testimonies,

Indictments and forced confessions

Are the last surviving resources from the Salem witch trials.

But now a new book,

'Salem's Voices,' makes a startling case for those who've been silenced.

Here to help separate the facts from the fiction...

Is prize-winning author, Mary Crane.

Mary, Happy Harvest, and thanks for joining us.

Thank you for having me.

Happy Harvest.

Now, this is obviously a haunting story.

And with your second book in the series,

You've presented a lost piece of history in a strange new light.

I wanted to take us back to a time when we sat in the dark by candlelight,

A time when we could grasp that it wasn't sorcery....

Oh, my God.

Get some blankets

Where's dad?

On a date with Dramamine.

He sick?

He's got nausea.

Gets it every harvest.

The doctor said it's psychosomatic.

- What's that? - It means it's all in his head.

This is a towel.

I said a blanket!

It's all I could find in the cabinet

Think on your feet. Go get some from your bed.

Mute the TV.

Where's her mom and dad?

They aren't here.

Momma...hold you...

Do you remember Gretchen Mills?

She used to babysit you when you were kids.

She used to spike your hair up

Almost set it on fire.

She didn't come round

after we moved, but I'd see her every now and again.

I noticed that she was thinning out

And not in a healthy way.

It's the kind of thin that you think, Oh, there's a drug problem there.

Or, huh, she might be yakking up her TV dinner.

Will you do me a favor, hon?

Yeah.

Will you get me a cup of coffee?

It's on the stove.

Just put it in a cup and heat it up for me.

Anyway.

She said she borrowed a gun

and she was planning on...

Well,

she didn't tell me exactly what she was going to do,

but I'm sitting there and I am praying to God

that He puts the words in my heart to help this poor girl

out of the deep and dark hole

she found herself in.

Oh, thank you, hon.

Wait, please.

She said...

This I'll never forget, she said...

Miss Feeney,

I don't think I'm supposed to be down here on earth as a human.

I think I'm supposed to be up there as a witch.

And that must be why I'm so sad.

What do you say to that?

I just knew

That God was going to strike me dead if I blew this one.

He put this poor girl in front of me

And he was asking me to help her.

And I just knew something terrible was going to happen.

So I said to her,

Well, I've got some shopping to do, and then I'm going to run some errands.

Why don't you come with me?

I sure could use the company.

Truth be told, I didn't want it, but...

She sat in my car talking about pumpkins.

So just like that, I said.

Well,

I'll get one too,

and I'll carve it with you.

So we went to the store and I got a pumpkin

Went to her house, and...

We didn't carve any pumpkins.

They just sat there...

With the knives sticking out of them...

While we sat on the couch

And we talked.

Just like we're doing right now.

But then...

A warning came on the TV

About an early harvest

Conversation clamped up.

You could hear a feather hit the floor it was so quiet

And she gets up,

walks outside,

and never comes back.

Found out a year later

From a friend

That her parents went missing

On the harvest and she must have

thought they were up there somehow looking out for her

See, she knew

What she wanted to do.

And it has taken me years of prayer to come to terms

with the fact that there was nothing I could do

to stop her.

Never heard that story.

I don't like telling it.

You would save that one for a rainy night.

Where'd you go?

To visit a friend.

Where'd he go?

Rob buried a witch.

We drove out to the desert with him to see it.

We weren't there for very long.

Less than 5 minutes, right?

Yeah.

And then what.

And then what?

Nothing. He put it back.

And then what?

I spilled some beer on it.

He spilled like a drop.

It's like a drop.

Then you brought her here?

You knew not to come here,

Didn't you?

We had the baby.

What's happening?

I want to make sure that I get this

right before I ask you to do this.

Do what?

Do what?

Go back.

I'm not going back.

Oh, yes, you are.

And you're going to do it tonight.

What are you talking about?

You're going to dig it out of the dirt.

And here...

Here.

It says right here

You've got to burn it 'til there's nothing left

Before the sun rises.

Because if you don't...

If you don't,

you, your brothers,

And what's the baby's name?

Katelyn

Katelyn, and anyone that you have come in contact with,

including everyone in this house--

Has a roof over their head, so nothing is gonna happen--

Will be marked and you know what that means.

Yeah, I know what that means.

We're going to be looking up at the sky every night for the rest of our lives.

I read that you can make a sacrifice.

Sacrifice who?

A baby?

You brought us into this.

I'm asking you

to make this right, son.

I told him we should burn it.

I said that. I said we should burn it.

None of this shit would have hap-- - Do you take responsibility?

I'm asking you.

I don't want to-

I don't want it.

I'm asking you, son,

do you take responsibility?

Yeah.

I take it.

Your brother has something

that he wants to say to you boys.

It was my fault.

And uh...

I put your lives at risk, and I'm sorry.

And uh...

I should have known better.

Right? I should have done better.

- But it wasn't your fault - Let your brother say his peace.

And uh...

Not only did I...

Put your lives at risk...

But I brought this home to mom and dad.

And now there's a little girl

Who doesn't have a family.

So the least that I can do is try to just

make it better

for her

and for you guys.

Make it better for you guys.

And for mom and dad.

I don't think it's fair.

No way.

Well, it's not about what's fair

It's about what's right.

Fine I don't think it's right either.

It was Rob's fault, not yours.

- Yeah. - You go out there,

You might not come back home, doesn't mom know that?

Of course she does.

Isn't there another way?

Guys - get on the right side of this.

Okay?

We all know what happens if I don't go back out there.

Everyone,

Even you two shit for brains

Gets a mark for the rest of their lives.

I don't want to lose you.

I'd die if you didn't come back, Mike.

I'd die.

- Mom.

What is it?

If something happens to Mike...

If he doesn't come home...

- He's gonna come home. - But if he doesn't--

Think good thoughts, isn't that right?

I am just thinking of contingencies here.

He has to burn the body, Sal.

What I'm asking is,

Can they...

Can they take him before he burns it?

You think good thoughts.

Think good thoughts

Don't think bad thoughts.

Think good thoughts....isn't that right?

Momma...

You know, I don't think it would be too crazy if I raised her.

It's been so long since I've raised you three.

Hm? Come here.

Smell her.

She smells just like you used to.

You're tired.

I think it's time to rest.

I need to watch her.

Adam and I will do it.

And--we'll feed her.

If she cries, you can take her.

No, I think I'll...

I'll sleep on the couch.

Your dad could use a break

from my teeth grinding anyway.

Then I'm going to go with Mike, okay?

She's so soft.

Gonna bring Adam too.

Okay, sweetheart.

Find something on the A.M.

all of these questions.

No one's ever seen one with their own eyes, right?

I certainly haven't. She has seen one in the flesh.

And she says she has an urgent warning for us.

Trish, you're on with the Barry Foyle AM Radio Hour.

- What's the warning? - They're coming for all of us, Barry.

You know, I thought that might be the case.

Less and less of us believe in what is going on up there.

So they are going to smite us all into oblivion.

Sounds like a warning. What do you know that we don't, Trish?

What I see with my own eyes.

There's more of them coming down every year.

If we don't give them what they want they're going to take it.

We aren't doing our due diligence either.

I mean, look at how much harvest we offer.

Every single year, the numbers dwindle.

Statistically, there's less of us to give

A grown man or woman is a two years' equivalent to a single year's harvest, Barry.

There's plenty enough of us to go around.

So what is it we should be doing?

Offering more harvest then?

Offering them respect.

- Respect? - This is about heirarchy...

Making sure we know who it is

That's really in charge above us.

Sorry to disappoint you, Trish, but it ain't bitches on broomsticks

that's in charge of me.

It's the one and the only the Father who is the holy.

We could tell him.

Tell him what?

What we saw.

KNWK...

This is the studio line to the Barry Foyle AM Radio Hour.

Can I have your name, and the reason for your call?

Mike, I'm sorry.

You're breaking up.

Where are you?

You're driving.

Did you say?

Sorry, Mike.

Can I put you on hold for a second?

I need to share this with Barry.

Okay, thanks.

You're listening to KNWK...

Home of 10 kilowatt days...

And 2500 kilowatt nights...

Barry?

...serving the latest in news, sports, talk, weather...

I thought you said you would call me if you got up and left.

Don't worry.

These burn through fast. You want one?

I don't smoke, remember?

That's right.

Well, it's never too late to start. What we got?

Think you should talk to Mike.

Mike...

Dead witch...no.

- No... - He just needs someone to talk to.

He's... feels alone and he needs--

And we're back.

Welcome to the Barry Foyle AM Radio Hour.

Thank you so much for being here with us.

I'm here to guide you through the night.

Hope you're safe inside tonight as we have another update

from the National Weather Service...

That extends tonight's wind advisory until 5:00 this morning.

Hey, Mike?

Are you still there?

I just spoke to Barry.

He has a few more calls, but I put you in the queue.

Now, folks, we don't traffic in hearsay, or rumor, but

our airwaves are open, so if you hear anything, call us.

If you see anything, call us.

Sure.

I'll let him know that.

I'm on standby.

I'm watching. I'm listening.

My lines are open, my eyes are open.

And now...

One more very fast word from our sponsor.

What's wrong?

So I think you should talk to Mike.

- Look, I told you... - He is your cigarette call.

Damn.

He really got you worked up, huh?

I won't forget what he said.

Like, ever.

I'm going to be lying in bed tomorrow thinking about it.

You know, when you listen.

But you don't sit still.

You're picking at the skin around

your fingernails until they bleed

Because what you hear burrowed

under the soft part of your brain,

where you can't let anything go.

Yeah. The cigarette call-

- Right! - Just like all of these here...

- Are those from tonight? - Yep.

See this?

Look how close they are to us.

Yeah.

Now when they call from over here, I get it.

All the way over here, though.

Nobody next to us?

Where'd Mike say he was calling from?

Um...

He's south of 62.

He's between here and here.

Nah.

What's next?

This guy who claims his ex-wife haunted him on a cruise ship

The night of their wedding anniversary.

- Little mid... - The same ship where she fell overboard.

And there was a voice...

Just like hers...

But not, If that makes any sense.

I guess it doesn't.

Anyway...

KNWK.

This is the studio line to the Barry Foyle AM Radio Hour

Can I have your name,

And the reason for your call?

I felt the velvet lined gloves reaching out.

The ones they found her in after she died.

And the worst of it was the hot breath on my neck.

Like she was behind me.

And I could hear the breathing...

Like this.

Look, man,

you had me up until the velvet gloves thing.

Now, now I'm wondering where you're from.

Is it like Victorian England?

This is America, man.

Look, folks, I am not a skeptic.

I believe in spirits,

not ghosts.

More after a word from our sponsor.

You want to talk to him?

Tell me about him.

His name is Mike.

And Mike is scared.

Not a little scared.

He's really-- like he said, he's on his way to burn--

To what?

It's going to sound dumb coming for me.

It's better if you hear from him.

Still need more than that...

He said he's cursed. And not just him. Everybody he's with right now.

You could help him.

And what, you want me to feel sorry for him?

He pulled on your heart strings.

And now you want him to pull on mine.

Uh uh. He's a grifter. Tell him goodbye.

Hey, Mike.

Are you still there?

Great. Can you stand by?

I said good bye. -Yeah, just a few more minutes.

We just got off a break, but Barry really wants to talk to you.

Sure. Okay.

Yeah, I will let him know that.

He has a favor to ask.

I am sure he does.

He doesn't want you to belittle him on air

like you do with your other callers.

His words, obviously.

He's not trying to convince you of anything.

He's just happy he found someone who'll listen.

Stay in here for this one.

Mike? Is that his name? - Yeah.

Welcome back.

And you are on the Barry Foyle AM Radio Hour.

Who do I have the pleasure of speaking with?

Name's Mike.

Mike, thanks for joining us.

We've been told that you've seen a witch in the flesh.

Tell us about it.

Uh, small.

Small? Let me guess. Kind of blurry. Indistinct features.

They ride on broomsticks.

Broomsticks? I'm guessing they have pointy hats, too.

Can you take him seriously?

I don't know, man. I couldn't see clothes.

They might ride naked.

Boy, you are really cooking with gas tonight, Mike.

What else can you tell us about it?

Their skin is like...

It's like a, it's like a burnt tree.

Yeah, like a tree when it's all burnt up.

And this smell.

It's like earthy.

Although that that might have been the ground that it was buried in.

It's hard to tell.

You're looking at it?

On my way to burn it. Only way to lift the curse.

Curse?

Look, Mike, we have a long,

sordid history in this country

when it comes to burning witches.

The literature is a little behind the times when it comes to those things.

So I'm guessing you must be a farmhand

Somewhere out in the boonies...

with your guns away from the conversation, right?

What conversation.

We don't burn witches anymore, Mike.

- How else do you lift the curse-? - - Human sacrifice.

It's the only way,

You don't piss off the heavens above, man.

I don't know, man.

Burning's how my parents did it.

And that's how their parents did it.

Doesn't mean it's the way we do it today.

Are you-?

Are you talking trash?

Mike. I want you to call me back after you burn it.

I really mean that.

Good luck, okay?

Where did you say he called from again?

South of 62.

Between here and here

I guess we'll give him a tack then.

Yo, he's full of shit, man.

He's never seen a witch in his life. We have!

Yeah, just fuck him.

All right.

What if he's right?

Yo, there's 2 hours 'til the sun comes up.

You want to talk about this now?

Look at this nut job in the middle of the road.

We gotta pick him up!

No way man you saw how he looked.

He's going our way.

Adam!

Adam, what are you doing?

He was going our way-

He's going our way?

Some guy walking across the desert in the dark--

- It looked like he needed help! - Hey, both of you--

You realize we have stuff to do right--

Who? Who is this man?

- I thought he needed help--

Hey hey hey.

My car is out of fuel.

Could I ask for a ride into town?

Ouami. That's my name.

Ouami. It's like, who am I?

Who am I? Who am I? You know?

Ouami. If you dropped 'Who'--

- Right? - Right.

Who am I... Hey, hi.

Listen man we're-- yeah...

We're uh, we're a little packed in here.

I can sit in the back...

We're not--

--we're not going to town. - Adam.

Ah. Where is it you are going?

Just desert business.

Desert business...

Oh, ah. Desert business...

You're the merchants.

No, you're not, you're the customers, right?

You're the customers.

Yeah.

On first night of harvest,

there are some big deals

if you know where to look.

All those big homes, suddenly emptied.

TVs the family will never watch again.

The Martha Stewart cookware just sitting

in kitchen cabinets just begging us, begging us to take them.

You know, please take me.

Take me! Please.

You know...

When I was your age,

I wanted to become a witch.

Hey, buddy, I'm driving.

You don't need to talk to him, Okay?

You talk to me.

Okay.

Sometimes...

They don't want to eat us...

Instead of eating us like Saturn, eating his son--

Gotcha.

Sometimes...

They take up our fragile bodies

Without any understanding of what makes us who we are.

And they turn us into one of their own.

They want the seed of meaning

God planted in the one place he knew

We would spend our whole life looking for it.

But it's not in the mountains.

It's not in the deserts.

You know where is it?

Where?

You know, it's right here.

Right here...

In each of us. In each of us.

Right here!

Right here!

You ever touch the wheel again?

I will kill you.

You got that?

Yes.

Okay...

Alright.

I'll see you in a minute.

See you soon.

- Stay in the truck, okay? - No...

Come on...
