:01:01
for everything that has
ever gone wrong in this town.
:01:05
Is that why people hate us
so much, Aunt Frances?
:01:08
They don't hate us, sweetheart.
We just make them a little nervous.
:01:12
Let's face it, Jet. We Owens women
have always created a stir.
:01:17
It all began with
your ancestor, Maria.
:01:21
She was a witch.
The first in our family.
:01:24
And you, my darlings,
are the most recent...
:01:26
in a long and distinguished line.
:01:29
Is that why they wanted to hang her?
Because she was a witch?
:01:33
The fact that our Aunt Maria was
a bit of a heartbreaker didn't help.
:01:37
Nor did it help that
most of her lovers...
:01:39
had wives on the hanging committee.
:01:42
But no, I don't think it was
either of those reasons.
:01:46
They feared her
because she had a gift.
:01:50
A power that has been passed
on to you children.
:01:55
She had the gift...
:01:57
of magic.
:02:12
And it was this very gift...
:02:14
that saved her life.
:02:32
She was banished
to this very island.
:02:36
With her unborn child
growing inside her belly...
:02:39
she waited for her lover
to rescue her.
:02:42
But he never came.
:02:45
No one came.
:02:48
In a moment of despair...
:02:50
she cast a spell upon herself:
:02:53
She would never again...
:02:54
feel the agony of love.
:02:57
But as her bitterness grew...
:02:59
the spell turned into a curse.
