Two healthy f***ing children.

I have a hole.

And tell me where is God?

Where is his goodness?

Sophia--

I am going to do this.

- It doesn't matter--

- I'm sorry.

It doesn't matter

if it's right or wrong.

You're going to keep away from me.

Stay away.

Is that understood?

Are you done?

Yeah.

Did you just lie?

No.

Look.

Do you speak German?

I can make myself understood.

A half truth is a lie.

I didn't lie.

I speak German.

I didn't cause that.

Everything has consequences in this.

I didn't cause that.

This has to be pure.

Not just your intention, but your drive.

It can go so wrong.

There was always gonna be something.

I'll help you with your German.

You just had to say.

Go for a walk tomorrow

before we're sealed in, eh.

It's gonna be months

before you see this again.

Okay.

What about you?

Me? I'll be alright.

This is your last chance to back out.

Once I complete this circle...

...no one can leave till

the Invocation's done.

Not for food, not for emergency,

not for anything.

Seal it.

What the f*** are you doing in bed?

I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

I.. I slept in, I'm sorry.

I don't give a toss.

Downstairs!

So magic squares.

Essentially a grid where you make

word and number sequences...

...that add up to one whole,

backwards...

...forwards, diagonally, et cetera.

And used to change a state.

Don't look at me like that.

Mr. Solomon, I'm not questioning you...

...but let's just remember

who's paying for this.

I don't give a f*** about

who's paying who.

I don't give a f*** about the money!

Eighty thousand pounds

is a lot of money.

Do you know the ritual?

Shall I leave you to do it?

You will not argue back!

I'm giving you what you want.

I see it burn in your f***in' eyes.

You agreed to do whatever I said.

- I asked you.

- I know. I was just--

You had the chance

to back out yesterday.

But the house has been sealed.

I'm not backing out.

Well, what are you doing?

I just want this to work.

And it's gonna work with

posh little you in charge?

No.

Eat this.

It's a toadstool.

Have you been listening?

Take it.

Do the ritual.

Talk to your Guardian Angel.

Talk to your child.

Good.

What will it do?

You've been cleansed ritually...

...you're gonna be cleansed physically.

Is it going to be horrible?

Yep.

The circle is a paradox.

No beginning and no end, but bounded.

In each circle there are

four essential phases.

We consecrate the circles,

open the chamber...

...with the magic squares,

pass through.

Five circles, five elements,

five realms.

Now, the Abramelin

is essentially a journey.

That's a, that's a poor metaphor.

That is, but it will do for now.

This circle, this is

the Chamber of Effect.
