Elias...

Could you explain your thoughts?

Starting high school with so much absence can't be easy.

How are you?

Just a slight headache.

Your mentor told me about your self-portrait.

It's not finished yet.

There should be a few fluffy kittens picnicking with a hedgehog here.

I know what happened last winter.

I feel a lot better now.

I don't want to ruin everything again.

I'll pull myself together.

Excuse me.

Do it for your own sake.

I SUCK DICK

Guys.

Lower the volume. Mom's been working all night.

When's school?

Dunno, quarter past or so.

MOM

Anna-Karin!

Anna-Karin!

Why won't you answer when I call for you?

What is it?

Are you sad?

Don't be sad. You're such a damn nice girl.

So fucking sexy.

Look at Kevin.

- He gets so horny watching you. - Fuck, stop it.

Honey...

Erik gave you a compliment, so what do you say?

You say, "Thank you."

"Thank you, Erik."

Can you say that?

Look at me.

- Hey. - Hey, Gustaf.

How are you?

They're just joking.

Hi, G.

Hi, Ida.

Hi, Rebecka.

See you at practice.

Bye.

- Why is she calling you "G"? - Only she knows.

Hi, friends.

You'll love me now.

I've got last week's test here that I'll hand you.

Minoo.

Good job.

You don't have to pretend.

You're only here to hide, right?

- Was it you? - What?

No.

It has probably fallen down by itself. Must be awfully bad... adhesive.

Or screws.

It was a joke.

- What is it? - I don't know.

Sorry, Elias...

I'm sorry.

Elias Malmgren has killed himself in the restroom.

He smashed a mirror and used a shard.

Apparently he also wanted to jump in front of the train during Christmas.

Suicide is so selfish.

Well...

There's not much more I need to know.

It's pretty obvious what's happened.

Psychologists will be available at school all week.

You can see one now if you want.

LinnГ©a, I'm so sorry.

Elias seemed to be a very...

...special person.

That girl's got big problems.

He didn't kill himself.

Why didn't you tell the police?

To do it at school is so damn self-absorbed.

Then people like me have to clean up.

It's so sad.

Vanessa?

Sorry I'm late. I and Evelina studied and completely forgot about the time.

No matter what I say, you think I'm lying?

How strange. I'm sure I heard the door.

Are you going to ignore me now?

I texted Evelina's mom and she wasn't there.

- Not yesterday either. - Where the hell do you think she is?

She's with that loser guy.

- Mom, will you let him talk like that? - Maybe we should get to know him.

Invite him or something.

Stop it!

What the hell are you doing?

- Have you seen me all along? - Vanessa, did you take something?

Is it cocaine you're on? Open the door!

- Isn't she a bit too composed? - She thinks she has to be so strong.

It's so horrible.

Was he on something?

The police apparently found drugs in his locker.

Are they entirely sure it was suicide?

At first it was just all black.

Completely pitch black.

Then I saw something.

Far away.

Something shining.

And suddenly I was in school.

There was someone there.

Who?

I don't know.

Your dream guy maybe.

Dork.

- Did you feel strange after the party? - I was so hungover.

You think Jonte put something in the booze?

You think he'd waste something on us for free?

We are gathered here today to remember Elias Malmgren.

What his family and friends goes through is incomprehensibly difficult.

It has affected us all.

Now we'll listen to a poem and have a moment of silence.

Then we'll go outside to see the flag flown at half-mast.

My name is Ida Holmström.

I was a peer supporter in middle school.

I know Elias had a hard time. He was a really nice guy, and...

...we were many who tried to help him.

On behalf of his all friends, I want to read this poem.

"Don't be afraid of the dark, for the light lies there."

"As we don't see any stars, where darkness doesn't exist."

"In the bright iris ring..."

"...you wear a dark pupil."

"For dark is all that light dreadfully longs for."

LinnГ©a, get down.

I surely remember when you were a peer supporter, Ida.

It felt so safe with you there.

Like when Erik Forslund wanted to cut Elias' hair because he looked gay.

You were so helpful back then!

They grabbed him,

while you ran and got the scissors from the art room.

Then they cut him until he started bleeding.

Remember that?

It might be hard.

It was something like every day.

Rebecka.

Rebecka?

Kevin, get a move on.

I got a call from Г…ke today.

His son drives the ambulance.

It's damn sad.

Did you know the boy?

- What's all this? - A guy killed himself at school.

Who?

- Elias Malmgren. - Helena and Krister's son?

The priest and the municipal big shot.

Well, well... In the calmest of waters.

Then how did he do it?

The kids think they know all about suffering.

It's not easy for them nowadays.

No, they expect to have it all served to them.

They don't know how good they have it.

Taking everything for granted.

At the slightest disappointment they start

cutting themselves and vomit everything they eat.

The gods should know it's not easy being a parent.

No one thanks you for taking responsibility.

Not much to do. When your dad left us, I said to...

Mia, are you choking?

- Mom? - Mia, what is it?

I...

...think I lost my voice.

I don't want autumn to come.

Imagine in the future...

I'll fly you to Thailand during winter, so you won't have to be here.

You can just spend all day getting a tan,

while I work.

Have you been to Thailand?

No.

- Have you? - No.

But I will go.

We will go.

Wille...

Look at the moon.

- What is it? - It's red.

No, it's not.

Are you joking?

Come here.

What the hell are you doing?

Did you do this?

Everyone came here like...

...radio-controlled robots. Right?

Some strange things have been going on.

The thing in the auditorium...

It was me.

I think I was invisible yesterday.

Okay, I see what you're doing.

This is some sick fucking joke you're recording and uploading to the Internet!

But I'm not fooled.

I'm not fooled!

Um, excuse...

How can you do this to me? All of you.

To me.

It's bullying for fuck's sake!

Tell us why you read the poem.

For the teachers to think I care. But I don't.

Had Elias been normal, no one would bully him. Just as well he killed himself.

You're nothing!

A junkie, a welfare case!

You're a fucking eating disorder victim! I don't get what G likes about you.

And people get STDs just by looking at you!

And you don't have to be a totally meaningless dork just because you're good in school!

And you...

You're just...

Ida!

Ida?

Ida?

Wow.

You are the Chosen Ones.

Your powers awaken.

Magic, it's in you.

All around, everywhere.

You can...

You can only trust each other.

Not on anyone else. Not on your loved ones.

It could be... anyone.

What do you mean?

You're only safe here.

The school is a place of evil.

Hide your powers.

Practice in secret.

Who are you?

You are the Chosen Ones. You must cooperate.

For what?

You are the Chosen Ones! Prepare yourselves!

You are the Chosen Ones! Prepare yourselves!

It wasn't me.

But who was it?

It wasn't me.

Ida, you need to tell. What happened?

Nothing! Nothing happened!

Ida?

What the hell...

What the hell was that?

Magic.

Magic exists.

We can't tell anyone about this.

Don't worry, I don't want to get locked up.

Sorry.

I'm so fucking drunk.

I'll take her home.

Wait.

It was worth it, huh?

Does Wille still want to become a pilot?

Yeah, why?

He's my ex.

Look who's here.

What the hell have you done?

Have you pissed yourself?

- Your hair's so lovely. - Where have you been? I missed you.

Shit!

Hi!

You know, I've done some thinking. We should spruce up the home.

What do you say?

Shall we go look for some new wallpapers this weekend?

We should paint the ceiling too.

Yes!

We'll do it together.

Sorry, I overslept.

Your principal called. She wants to see you.

You've got potato pancakes for dinner in the freezer.

Off we go, come on!

What do you think she wants?

I don't know.

There's only one thing I can imagine.

You know...

What Ida said about me,

about eating disorders...

It's kinda true.

I've never told anybody before.

What about Gustaf?

It feels like he knows sometimes.

I'm just so afraid he won't stand being with me.

Do you really think he's like that?

No...

I'm just being a coward.

I'm, like, waltzing around...

...being unhappy in love.

With who?

Just some guy.

Can't you just talk to him?

- It's better if I stop being in love. - Good luck.

We should become a bit braver.

Both of us.

Starting high school can be overwhelming.

Difficult to handle all the new things.

Do you understand what I mean?

Yes.

Is there something you'd like to talk about?

I don't know, don't think so.

I'm here if you want to talk.

About anything at all.

Okay.

You're too good, Rebecka.

The good won't survive in this world.

Don't be afraid. It's almost over.

Do not fight.

You are too weak.

Forgive me.

Get away from the window.

"You can only trust each other."

"Not on anyone else."

"Not on your loved ones."

"It can be anyone."

"The school is a place of evil. Hide your powers."

What if someone saw Rebecka in the auditorium when...

You think she was murdered?

She had a meeting with the principal just before...

Elias too.

So you think the principal is a killer?

You're completely sick in...

Stop!

We must work together!

Don't you see what's happened?

We need to find out more about the principal.

If you won't join, say so now.

We have gathered to remember Rebecka Mohlin.

In this kind of tragedy, we must support each other.

Now it has happened twice in a short amount of time.

The shock is big for all of us.

But we are not alone.

We share the grief.

We think of Rebecka together. We think of her family and friends.

Her boyfriend.

Her classmates.

Rebecka has left a void.

But she will always be in our hearts.

And all the happy memories she gave us remains.

Thank you.

Now we'll go watch the flag flown at half mast.

You okay?

Good.

She's not coming, don't you get it?

What if she's got an alarm?

Does she live here?

Here they are.

If I wanted to hurt you, I could do so now.

Right?

Put that thing away.

- Sorry but can I go now? - No.

I think it's for the best if we quietly sit down and have a chat.

As you already know, my name is Adriana Lopez

and I'm the principal at Engelsfors high school.

I'm also a witch.

A witch?

Sorry, but you never told me about any witches.

"Witches"?

Is that what we are?

Very special witches.

I've been looking for you...

...although I didn't expect you to be so many.

There is a prophecy about "The Chosen One".

A 16-year-old in Engelsfors will be summoned,

brought to a protected place

under a blood-red moon, that only she can see.

A Chosen One.

Not seven.

We think Elias was one of you.

"We"?

Who are "We"?

I work for the Council.

We control all magical practice in the world.

And now you want to control us?

Our world isn't the only one.

The layer to other worlds are thinner in certain places.

Engelsfors is such a place.

There's an evil trying to get in here.

The Demons.

Demons are creatures able to travel between different worlds.

Their goal is to annihilate all living things.

To lay waste to our world.

You are the only ones who can stop them.

They can't get into our world on their own.

They need a strong witch voluntarily helping them.

The Demon's Blessed One.

Was it...

...the Blessed One who killed Rebecka and Elias?

Yes.

I don't want to stay. Replace me.

You were born as a witch.

You were born as a Chosen One.

The magic has always been within you.

It's the same for all witches.

The magic awakens eventually.

Your potential is exceptional and your powers will only grow stronger.

But to stop the Blessed One,

you'll need knowledge, training and guidance.

Put a hair in the envelope.

State your name and the powers you've developed.

Do you want back to foster care?

The Demons wouldn't bless just any witch.

It has to be someone extremely strong.

And the Demons' magic, their blessing, makes this witch even stronger.

You must be wary.

It could be just about anyone.

A stranger.

Or somebody you know.

Someone you think you know.

Someone who's good at hiding their powers.

Someone looking for you, day and night.

You must be careful, the threat is there.

All the time.

Everywhere.

This is the Book of Patterns.

It has been used by witches in all ages.

It answers questions about the past and about the future.

It helps us.

Guides us.

It takes practice to be able to read, so we'll practice.

Now you'll devote yourself only to this book.

Can't we use our magic anymore?

One day you might not become visible again.

Magic is dangerous.

As with everything else, you have to begin with the basics.

The six elements:

Fire, Earth, Air, Water, Metal, Wood.

Every witch may master one of the elements...

...and each element has certain powers.

My element is Fire.

That was Rebecka's too.

I've received your results. Your element is Air.

- Is Anna-Karin's Earth? - That's right.

Earth is associated with a strong bond to nature. And strength.

Both mentally and physically.

You've got Metal as element.

Metal witches often have medial powers.

Why do we sit here and listen to some fucking lecture?

Why don't we look for the killer?

- The Council is looking. - Oh!

How?

If we're so damn important and supposed to save the world,

why are only you here?

We guarantee your safety, but only if you don't do anything on your own.

Then we can't protect you.

You have Water as element,

and stated that you haven't developed any powers yet.

Yeah...?

What about Elias?

He had Wood as element.

Wood witches can usually control and shape organic matter.

Minoo, something went wrong with your test.

Can you stay?

Concentrate.

Open your minds to what the book wants to show you

and report to me about everything you see.

This is my familiaris. We have a bond between us.

I can see through his eyes.

Minoo, we know so little about you Chosen Ones...

...and your enemies.

I only found something in the prophecy.

And there it said A Chosen One.

Right.

This is why it's so important for you to try to read the book.

You'll might find this interesting.

Minoo!

Hi.

My name is Gustaf, I was together with Rebecka.

I know.

Did she say anything?

No.

I noticed something was wrong.

But I didn't ask.

I've always wanted to be a nail artist, but Ida said it was too trashy.

You and Kevin are neighbors kinda, right?

Yeah...

- We think he's in love with you. - He kinda looks at you all the time.

You must go home now.

Yes, goodness, we have to go now!

- Hi, Max. - Hi.

Got any problems with Erik Forslund?

Not really.

There are others he's worse against.

The school's anti-bullying plan is a damn joke.

Sorry.

I said "damn." I'm a bad teacher.

Yeah, really.

I haven't said thanks for...

After Rebecka...

Well, of course. You got a friend to talk to?

I'm used to being alone.

That didn't sound pathetic at all...

You're not pathetic.

I have to go home. Lots of homework.

But you know, as you gave them to us.

- Bye. - Bye.

Minoo.

What is it?

I can't stop thinking about you.

Sorry.

What's magic?

Magic is living energy. A part of nature.

It's all around us.

It's in all people, but for witches it's stronger.

So strong it must out, whether we like it or not.

It's up to us to control it.

Balance it.

Fire and Water.

Air and Earth.

Metal and Wood.

The strongest magic is achieved by letting the elements flow together.

By working in a circle.

Together you are a circle.

The most pointless book club in the world.

Excuse me, but... You heard something about my test?

No.

Maybe after Christmas.

Concentrate!

Show me how.

- Read something from the book. Anything. - This is no story time.

You can't.

No one can in the Council.

But you hope that we can, so you'll get lots of information.

- It's why we're here! - LinnГ©a...

The Council doesn't give a damn if we get killed.

Neither do you.

That's not true.

She's lying!

She can't help us. Don't you get it?

You're just so pathetic.

LinnГ©a.

Hi.

- Hi, Wille. Nice to meet you. - Jannike.

Nice apartment you've got.

- Very nice wallpapers. - Thanks.

- Looks really good. - Vanessa's been cooking.

We should have a toast now that you've finally met Wille.

Cheers.

What are you working with these days, Wille?

- Sorry? - What are you working with?

It's a bit hard finding something around here.

Don't you have lots of ongoing business with your buddy Jonte?

- Wille's going to become a pilot. - Really? How nice.

Thought about it for long?

Yes... Well, Mom said I started talking about it when I was like three.

- Pilot? - Yeah.

Did you graduate from high school?

Uh, no...

There's actually adult education.

- Sirpa at the store is your mom, right? - Yes, exactly.

Feels like she's always at the counter. It's a tough job.

Yeah, she's had a lot of problems with the neck and so on.

- Problems with the neck? - Yeah, problems with the neck.

Shouldn't you also tell what Dad does?

- I... don't see my dad very often. - What did you say?

I don't see my dad very often.

That's difficult when he's always doing time.

Can't you just behave like normal people for once?

Please, don't start.

- Don't you hear what he says? - You don't have to shout.

Do you think he's behaving nicely towards Wille?

Hey, I'm sorry... Maybe you should...

- I'm on my way. - Good.

- No, you should go! - That's enough, for fuck's sake!

Mom, please, say something.

I'll sleep at Wille's place.

Why are you in such a hurry? You're only 16.

You got fucking pregnant with me when you were 16!

I don't even know who my dad is because you were so wasted!

- What did you say? - Nothing.

That was so low!

If you go now, you don't have to come back.

I mean it.

We...

We can get our own apartment.

Okay?

Wille!

I can read the book!

We'll do a ritual. Tomorrow, when it's full moon.

We'll make a serum.

What?

The blessing disappears when the killer drinks it.

It's like the connection with the Demons is broken.

And the killer blacks out.

"Blacks out"?

Like, dies?

I don't know.

But you must do the ritual.

Okay.

But Ida's going to snitch, so she can't fucking come.

Are you okay?

I've had the craziest night ever.

Wille's probably wondering where I am.

For sure.

You know what Wille's problem is?

He's like a picture of the sunrise.

First, you think it's damn pretty.

Then you understand that nothing happens.

Day or night never comes.

It's just the same sunrise...

...the whole fucking time.

Okay.

The Binding Circle.

Now!

The Empowering Circle.

The Water Sign.

LinnГ©a! LinnГ©a!

LinnГ©a...

We did everything the right way!

Shouldn't we talk to Adriana?

We try again.

The next full moon.

If we're alive by then...

What happened?

Nothing!

You can't get to me anymore.

So stay the fuck away from me and my friends.

They're not your friends.

They hate you.

Everyone hates you.

They just pretend because they're afraid of becoming your next victim.

You kan keep Julia and Felicia.

You know it's not real.

You know that you're just as useless as before.

You tried to make the serum without me.

Guess why that didn't work.

The book told me.

Leave me alone or I'll tell everything to Adriana.

- Why doesn't it work? - It only speaks to Ida now.

Why did you want to ask Elias for forgiveness?

You said sorry when we found him.

How the hell is that your business?

If something happened before he died, it could be important.

You think so?

Yes.

He... had quit.

But then I noticed that he had taken something.

Drugs?

Yeah...

"Drugs."

Why did he start again?

He was scared.

Why?

- Why was he scared? - I don't know!

He didn't want to tell me.

Then we got into a fight.

The last time I saw him... I said things I shouldn't had done.

I can never say sorry.

Are you happy now?

You've got some other good ideas? Maybe we should ask Adriana?

You think you're so damn much better than us. That you can decide over us.

You said that Ida wasn't allowed to attend the ritual. That's why it didn't work.

It doesn't matter since we have no one to use that fucking serum on!

Unless you draw out the killer as you're so damn obvious.

Stop it now.

We're so fucking screwed.

- I'm going to bed. - What?

...eight, seven, six, five, four...

- What the hell will you do with that? - It's good to have.

You live here now, or what?

Mom didn't even call on Christmas Eve.

Christmas is a fucking shit holiday.

How are you really?

I miss him so damn much.

You...

You feel it?

What the hell is she doing here?

I'll go get a drink.

- You can't do this. - Now it's enough.

I know you want revenge but this is not okay.

I don't want revenge.

We've known each other all our lives.

He's in love with me.

No.

He isn't.

Go to hell.

He takes more than your lives.

Don't be afraid. It's better like this, I promise.

I love you.

- But in school... - I know.

I'm ashamed.

You're so kind.

I love you.

What the fuck is this?

- Sorry. - What, "Sorry"?

Sorry.

- Fresh. - Oink, oink.

Fuck, you're disgusting.

You ugly fucking pig.

Don't be afraid.

It's better like this.

You're so tired of fighting.

You're so tired of being afraid.

It won't hurt.

Forgive me.

Mom?

Mom.

Mom!

Mom, please stop!

Mom!

- How silly of me! - Mia!

I understand.

Thank you.

The killer must be a Earth Witch...

...like Anna-Karin.

But the door closed by itself.

A Earth Witch can't do that.

But Rebecka could.

The killer takes our powers.

I don't understand why it ended.

I saw black smoke.

What do you mean?

What did they say?

You really don't give a shit about us.

You have no element.

All people belong to one of the elements.

Including non-witches.

But we've tested you twice and you have no element.

LinnГ©a was right.

The Council only cares about what's in the Book of Patterns.

They don't believe in demons or that you will save the world.

And if they suspect that they can't control you...

You must be careful.

Stay together.

Ida!

- Ida! - Don't touch me!

Someone is trying to kill us and we don't know who!

You're the only one that can read the book.

Shit!

She knows who it is!

Ida!

Let go!

I almost died!

Am I allowed to breath?

You knew it was him?

It wasn't him.

It can't be him. Don't you get it?

You're in love with him!

- That's why you said nothing. - I'm not in love with G.

You don't get it. Something was wrong with him!

But what if it's true?

The killer took control over Minoo.

What if he took control over Gustaf too, making him kill Rebecka.

Why would he do that?

Because Rebecka trusted Gustaf.

And if someone might see something.

Exactly!

Are you also in love with him?

- How can you be so sure it was him? - I was right about the Council, no?

I can get him to tell the truth.

- Then we'll know if he's guilty. - It's too dangerous.

We have no choice.

I'll get him to tell.

And if it's him, I'll get him to drink the serum too.

- Hi! - Hi.

- How you doing? - I'm fine.

You?

It's all right.

Hey... I wonder if we could meet and like... talk.

Tonight, maybe.

- Or tomorrow. - Sure. Tonight's okay.

We can be at my place if you want.

At half past seven?

Okay.

Then we'll meet tonight.

Bye!

Thanks for today.

I'll come later.

Rebecka said something to me.

Okay.

That I have to be more brave.

When we talked in the library it felt like...

I just have to know.

If you hadn't been my teacher...

No.

Please, be quiet.

Quiet. Please.

I can get you to be quiet, but I don't want to.

Just listen to me. Okay?

I'm sorry for what I did to you.

They wanted me to do it, but I couldn't.

But they've changed their minds now.

They've promised that you can live.

Just say who the others are.

Come!

What the hell is going on?

- Max took Elias powers too. - What? Elias had powers?

That's why he was afraid. His magic was awakening.

Wood Witches are able to bend and form organic matter.

What? I don't understand anything!

He can change his appearance.

He can look like anybody for a short moment.

Gustaf, for example.

Where's Anna-Karin?

She went before me.

Minoo.

You have seen me.

In my dream?

You have a bond to one another.

You become stronger together.

Break the blessing.

The Circle is the answer.

Who are you?

I was like you.

Another Chosen One?

Has there been others?

The Circle is the answer.

She doesn't see us.

Because I don't want her to see us.

You know how that works.

Have you known all along?

Well, I suspected it.

I wanted to wait a bit.

I thought you were too strong for me.

Tell me who the others are.

No!

Please, wait!

What have we done to you?

Nothing.

It's just an agreement.

But Anna-Karin...

...it won't get better.

Everyone just gets more stupid.

More obtuse.

More evil.

You know life is hell.

You know how much it hurts every day.

It only gets worse.

I did Rebecka and Elias a favor.

I'm doing you a favor.

Get him to drink the serum!

Anna-Karin!

- It doesn't work. - Make an effort!

I'm trying!

No! LinnГ©a!

LinnГ©a...

Don't move.

LinnГ©a, what are you doing?

You're not Elias.

Minoo.

I know you're scared.

But think for a bit.

What does these girls really mean to you?

You're not even friends, right?

I love you.

I've loved you since the first time I saw you.

Why are you helping the Demons?

"The Demons"?

I help them because they've helped me.

I was your age when they came to me.

They showed me how to get back at others.

They've never let me down.

- They want to destroy the world. - I know what they want to do.

I also know what I'll get.

You don't belong in Engelsfors.

You don't belong in this world.

But there are other worlds.

We can get a world of our own.

You and me.

Because we belong together.

Say that you love me.

Say that we belong together.

Say it.

Please, say it.

Say it.

- Say it. - No.

I belong with them.

What the hell just happened?

Didn't you see?

The smoke.

I broke the blessing.

Have we saved the world now?

It doesn't feel like it.

Sweetie...

Hi.

Did you break up?

No, we're still together.

I'm going to move back home again.

- Then we need rules... - Nicke.

Thank you for staying.

My superiors have called me to Stockholm over the summer.

But I'll be back in the fall.

I won't tell the Council about what happened in the dining room.

The Council's got large archives. I'll go through them thoroughly.

There must be something about you Chosen Ones in there.

And your magic.

We must prepare.

This was probably just the beginning.

Minoo...

Max is still in a coma, just so you know.

Good.

How did it go with Adriana?

I think we can trust her.

You don't need to hate yourself because you were in love with him.

You didn't know anything.

You can read minds.

Why didn't you say anything?

What the hell do you think?

- But you could've helped us. - You don't think I tried?

It only works sometimes.

Mostly when I don't want it to.

Gustaf always carried so much guilt.

That's why I was sure it was him.

You must tell the others.

I know.

It feels like I should've understood this much earlier.

You're really not as smart as everyone thinks.

Do you think they're here now?

No.

They are where they should be.

And so are we.
