00:00:00Want to hear an amazing story? I grew up in the shadow of a strange mountain. I used to hike up there when I was a little girl, but got scared when I heard all the stories about the mountain being haunted.
00:00:13Some folks worshipped the old rock. They thought she was magic and had the power to change your life. But nothing much seemed to change around here, except the steady stream of pilgrims passing through town.
00:00:31Most of them stopped at the Witch Mountain Cafe, where I worked. Lonely people. Searchers. Outcasts. They came from everywhere, hoping the mountain could turn their lives around. For some, maybe it did. But I never dreamed it would happen to me.
00:00:56It was a morning like any other. I gave Matilda her sandwich, and Sheriff Bronson ambled over to his favorite spot at the counter with his usual attitude.
00:01:09Gonna be pretty lively tonight.
00:01:14I heard someone say the mountain's pulse is strong tonight.
00:01:17You want to look me in the eye and tell me you believe in all that stuff?
00:01:21I don't know. What do you believe in?
00:01:24Hot fudge sandies.
00:01:26With so many souls in the universe, do you ever wonder why certain paths cross? Is it all just an accident, or is there something else going on? A mysterious connection.
00:01:41Wait.
00:02:11Hi. Can I help you?
00:02:29I can get you a cup of coffee. Free refill.
00:02:34Maybe I could find an extra slice of pie somewhere.
00:02:38No, you can't serve him.
00:02:40Why not?
00:02:41Because he hasn't bathed in weeks, and he's on his way out of town.
00:02:46Don't look at me like that. There are health ordinances.
00:02:51Say, uh, pal, we got a small community here. Why don't you get yourself down to Milford? They got a shelter down there.
00:03:04Wait. I'll make that pie to go.
00:03:15You're lucky. They got the best homemade pie in town.
00:03:46Is she okay?
00:03:48She's just afraid.
00:03:59What are we doing here?
00:04:01Waiting for someone who's not afraid.
00:04:10Hi. What's your name?
00:04:15Where are you taking me?
00:04:22Wait. Don't leave me here alone.
00:04:36Okay. 16 more stops.
00:04:40Oh, boy. Here we go.
00:04:44Where's my sister? I can't hear her.
00:04:50I can't even feel her.
00:04:52Hey! Stay right where you are.
00:04:58Don't move.
00:05:00You hold it right there.
00:05:04You can't even breathe.
00:05:08I tried to explain what I had seen, but no one believed me.
00:05:13And they never found the other baby.
00:05:23Hey, you! Hold it!
00:05:26Come back here!
00:05:33Stop!
00:05:35Keep it!
00:05:42Boy, am I getting tired of chasing you.
00:05:49Come on.
00:05:51He had been running for years and getting nowhere.
00:05:55Funny how life is when you surrender.
00:05:58I'm going to take you exactly where you need to be.
00:06:03You have gone through a dozen foster parents.
00:06:05What are you, going for the Guinness Book of Records?
00:06:09He doesn't know the value of a good home.
00:06:11They weren't home.
00:06:13The last place you were in had two dogs, a swimming pool, you had your own room.
00:06:17What more do you want?
00:06:19A family.
00:06:21Well, I'm sorry, Danny, but according to this file, you don't have a family.
00:06:29I know they're out there.
00:06:32I wish we could make all your dreams come true.
00:06:37I'm not sure we have room around here for a troublemaker.
00:06:43Oh, Danny's going to be a good boy, aren't you, Danny?
00:06:47Hey, it's not an easy lesson.
00:06:49But somewhere down the line, you've got to stop dreaming and face the fact that life isn't always easy.
00:06:55It's called growing up.
00:07:00What do you know?
00:07:01Looks like we've got ourselves a pope.
00:07:08Get the pit ready.
00:07:13This is the veranda.
00:07:15We read stories there in the afternoon.
00:07:17Over here we have the vegetable garden.
00:07:20I know that it's hard for the first couple of days, but I run a loose ship.
00:07:24If you're responsible with that freedom, I treat you like an adult.
00:07:27Don't make me baby you.
00:07:29Kids!
00:07:31Come on!
00:07:33This is Danny, everybody.
00:07:35He's going to be with us for a while.
00:07:37I know you'll make him feel welcome.
00:07:40I'm Xander.
00:07:41Want to see my treehouse?
00:07:42It's everybody's treehouse, Xander, to share.
00:07:45Remember?
00:07:46And that's why he's going to be the guest of honor.
00:08:04Wow!
00:08:05You designed this place?
00:08:07Hey, you should see the submarine I'm working on.
00:08:11You know, there's something we like to do around here with new kids.
00:08:14Oh, yeah?
00:08:15Close your eyes.
00:08:17Why should I?
00:08:19Yeah.
00:08:22I used to be scared, too.
00:08:27Fine, I'll play your stupid game.
00:08:32Okay.
00:08:33Is it over here?
00:08:46Yeah, you think you're so great!
00:08:49Chicken, that's for yours!
00:08:53Make sure he can back up what you're saying.
00:08:57I'm waiting.
00:09:05Oh, come on!
00:09:06Do I have to wait all day?
00:09:09Hey, squash it!
00:09:26You promised no more bullying.
00:09:29I wasn't bullying.
00:09:30It's a new game, so you made it up.
00:09:34You okay?
00:09:38I'm Danny.
00:09:44Do I know you?
00:09:55Yeah.
00:10:01Listen up!
00:10:09I want you back here in an hour!
00:10:13Look.
00:10:16A lady.
00:10:18You see her in my nightmares.
00:10:21That's because it's haunted.
00:10:23You get cursed just by looking at it.
00:10:26What do you mean?
00:10:27Why do you think there's so many weirdos in Wake County?
00:10:30They're all witches.
00:10:33The most powerful witch in the world lives up there.
00:10:36She's got this army of big hairy goons that sneak around at night and round up victims.
00:10:46What?
00:10:47Can I help it if he's a wimp?
00:10:52You're in the way, Poe.
00:10:55Here, half a day in scrapping already.
00:10:58Xander, you ought to know better.
00:11:01He started it.
00:11:07Let me give you Romeos some advice here.
00:11:10You win girls like Anna with poetry, not yard fights.
00:11:15Okay?
00:11:16So let's shake and make up.
00:11:21Shake?
00:11:24Yeah.
00:11:51Bless you.
00:12:16Identical choices.
00:12:20A mysterious connection.
00:12:26That night, he woke up from a dream, and there she was.
00:12:38And there she was.
00:13:00Meanwhile, miles away, a man dressed in purple was up working late in his purple store.
00:13:29The light!
00:13:30Ah!
00:13:40Whoa!
00:13:42Did you know that would happen?
00:13:44No.
00:13:48Good to see you again, brother.
00:13:50I knew I knew you.
00:14:01I knew I knew you.
00:14:30The reunion, right on schedule.
00:14:39This is truly unbelievable.
00:14:45Twins separated as babies.
00:14:49It's like a fairy tale.
00:14:51The delivery man made 18 stops that night.
00:14:55And he didn't discover you, Anna, until the very last one in San Pedro County.
00:14:59That's why they didn't link you two.
00:15:03Well, it looks like you have to do.
00:15:05Well?
00:15:07It's cool.
00:15:08He's just her brother.
00:15:09I thought twins were supposed to look the same.
00:15:12That's identical twins.
00:15:14Fraternal twins look different.
00:15:16What about the weird light I saw?
00:15:18It must have been flashlights.
00:15:19It was purple.
00:15:21Oh, come on.
00:15:22What are you saying, voodoo magic?
00:15:25I'm here at Witch Mountain Park in Ashland.
00:15:28Not much to look at because the city stopped spending money on it almost 10 years ago.
00:15:34This mountain is said to have a unique magnetic field which attracts psychics and people with paranormal abilities.
00:15:41Now, Edward Bolt, a local businessman, has offered to buy the land and spruce it up
00:15:46with campgrounds, a recreational area, and a full-time staff of rangers.
00:15:51I'd like to create a place for kids and families where they can come and just have fun.
00:15:58The locals have mixed feelings about Bolt's plan.
00:16:02We mustn't tamper with it.
00:16:04The mountain's geocosmic harmonics are critical to the twins.
00:16:08This Sunday, it reaches the return threshold.
00:16:12I hope they're listening because now is the time to come home to the light.
00:16:18I had been searching for nine years, getting nowhere.
00:16:21Funny how life is when you learn to be patient and just listen.
00:16:25Of all the Witch Mountain wackos, that guy takes the cake.
00:16:29Oh, I'm sorry. I forgot.
00:16:30You believe all that stuff, twin babies with magic light?
00:16:34I know what I saw.
00:16:35Why did we find only one boy?
00:16:38I'm not sure.
00:16:39That's because you fainted at the moment of truth.
00:16:41Their long hair is living up there.
00:16:43They come down and take food off my barbecue when I'm not looking.
00:16:47Bolt still has a critical vote ahead of him
00:16:49when the Witch Mountain Conservancy meets next week.
00:16:52Whether this mountain is empowered with mystical energy
00:16:55or just overgrown with a lot of weeds, one thing is certain.
00:16:59It's definitely time for this reporter to go home.
00:17:03Claudia Ford, reporting from Ashland.
00:17:12So, how long have you been here?
00:17:15Five years.
00:17:17Half your life.
00:17:20I tried foster homes. They used to work for me.
00:17:24Do you remember our parents?
00:17:28No.
00:17:31I wonder if Mom was pretty.
00:17:34She must have been.
00:17:39Do you think they're still alive?
00:17:43If they are, they sure didn't want us around.
00:17:46Well, maybe they just weren't allowed to keep us or something.
00:17:51What do you mean? Like if they were spies or something?
00:17:54Or acrobats in a traveling circus.
00:17:57Astronauts!
00:17:59Yeah, something to do with flying.
00:18:03That's what the light reminds me of.
00:18:09We've got to find them, Danny.
00:18:11It's impossible. I mean, where would we start?
00:18:14The files didn't say anything.
00:18:17Shouldn't we at least try?
00:18:20I found you. That's enough for me.
00:18:25You're right.
00:18:27What's going on?
00:18:29We sleep outside when it gets warm. We make our own tents.
00:18:35This is the whale's belly. It's Andrew invented it.
00:18:41You can join the club if you confess your darkness.
00:18:46Why don't we just make our own club?
00:19:00Deal me out.
00:19:02Touchy-touchy.
00:19:07She's a witch. She put a spell on him.
00:19:10That's why he acts like a zombie around her.
00:19:13You were born first.
00:19:16You're one minute older.
00:19:20How do you know that?
00:19:22I can sense it. Can't you?
00:19:26How come we can do this stuff?
00:19:30The light?
00:19:33Let's go.
00:19:54This just makes no sense.
00:19:56It's a mystery.
00:20:01Okay, kids. Lights out.
00:20:15You feel that?
00:20:19Loneliness.
00:20:23It's Xander.
00:20:32I'm glad we found each other.
00:20:36Now, isn't this a creative way to solve our little financial crunch?
00:20:40Anna, you remember how to peel garlic, don't you?
00:20:42I hate peeling garlic. It smells like it's stuck under your fingernails.
00:20:45I know, but somebody's got to do it.
00:20:48Don't you wish we had other powers?
00:20:52Like what?
00:20:57Like what?
00:21:01Whoa! How did you do that?
00:21:04I don't know.
00:21:11You try.
00:21:21How does it work?
00:21:23I just imagine it.
00:21:31Use your heart.
00:21:33Can you read my mind, too?
00:21:53How did that happen?
00:21:55We were touching.
00:21:57I guess it works best when we're really close.
00:22:00Whoa. We have to keep this a secret, huh?
00:22:04Just until we figure things out.
00:22:24Miss Lindsay Phillips, sir, from the Ashland Children's Home.
00:22:29Yes, Miss Phillips.
00:22:33Oh, really?
00:22:36I didn't realize it was so bad.
00:22:40Do you want to eat at Beggar's Banquet? They're safety spots.
00:22:43Daddy wants to sit alone.
00:22:53What are you looking at?
00:23:24Whoa!
00:23:28Whoa!
00:23:32What happened here?
00:23:35Look at this mess!
00:23:37Sander, are you all right?
00:23:39Yes, you are, so get up now and clean it up.
00:23:41Mr. Bolt is coming.
00:23:46There.
00:23:50That ought to help a little.
00:23:54You're an angel, Mr. Bolt.
00:23:57Well, I just love kids, that's all.
00:24:01Can you cut that, please?
00:24:04I'm sorry about the camera. I just thought the publicity might help with donations.
00:24:08What's your name?
00:24:10Danny.
00:24:12Danny?
00:24:14Danny, don't you ever clean behind your ears?
00:24:18Wow!
00:24:22Do you have a pool?
00:24:24Yes, I do.
00:24:26Why don't you invite us for a swim?
00:24:28Sander, I'm sick of those kids.
00:24:30Well, I think that's a great idea.
00:24:32How about a picnic on Sunday, huh?
00:24:36Huh?
00:24:40Thank you, Mr. Bolt.
00:24:42Thank you, Mr. Bolt.
00:24:44You feel that?
00:24:45Yeah, what is it?
00:24:47Wait!
00:24:49Don't get in your car, Mr. Bolt.
00:24:51Why not?
00:24:53I don't know. I just know something bad is going to happen.
00:24:56What makes you say that?
00:24:58My sister has feelings about things.
00:25:01Oh, you're a little psychic, huh?
00:25:05It's a secret.
00:25:07Please, Mr. Bolt, I'm serious. I don't want to see you get hurt.
00:25:10Well, I'm sure you don't, young lady.
00:25:12If you'll excuse me, I'm a very busy man.
00:25:22Look out, Joe!
00:25:37Anna?
00:25:48Danny?
00:25:52Wonderful news.
00:26:00It's what you always wanted, Danny.
00:26:06What is it?
00:26:11They got a home.
00:26:15Well, when do we leave?
00:26:16Well, this afternoon, if you like.
00:26:19What if we don't want to?
00:26:22Look, I know that it's a bit scary.
00:26:24You know, it's almost impossible to find foster homes for kids your age,
00:26:29especially the two of you together.
00:26:50Danny, it was really nice to know you.
00:26:59Anna?
00:27:02Come on.
00:27:06I'm going to miss you.
00:27:11This is for you.
00:27:13Now we both have one.
00:27:16Where'd you get it?
00:27:18I snuck into town.
00:27:25Don't forget about me.
00:27:31How could I?
00:27:37I'm an orphan, too, you know.
00:27:43You're really going to love it here.
00:27:45It's the best boss I ever had.
00:27:50And this is the stable area.
00:27:54Mr. Bolt said he would meet you here.
00:28:03And this is the stable area.
00:28:06Mr. Bolt said he would meet you here.
00:28:22Hey, guys, great to see you again.
00:28:24How you doing, huh?
00:28:25How are you, huh?
00:28:28Well, this seemed like the least I could do for you.
00:28:30I mean, you saved my life, young lady.
00:28:32They called it temporary foster care, you know.
00:28:34But I want you kids to treat this place like it was home.
00:28:38I know this must be hard for you and kind of strange to find a family like this,
00:28:42but, I mean, that's what I want to be for you, your family.
00:28:46I've been supporting the orphanage for years,
00:28:48but I've come to realize lately that, well, true charity is being the parent that kids like you need.
00:28:56Come on, I'll show you around.
00:28:58Ah, there's the stables over there.
00:29:01Anytime you want to take out a horse, just ask Mr. Flynn.
00:29:06What's wrong with that one?
00:29:12Ah, that's Thunderbolt.
00:29:17Ah!
00:29:22No one's ever been able to break him.
00:29:44I know him.
00:29:47You remember?
00:29:50I'm not sure. I think so.
00:29:52Yes, you met him a long time ago before he worked for me.
00:29:56Can you think when?
00:29:58I was a baby.
00:30:00He drove me somewhere.
00:30:04Your psyche is incredible.
00:30:06Luther is the delivery man that discovered you nine years ago in his truck.
00:30:10We realized that when we got your records.
00:30:13I don't believe in coincidences.
00:30:16I think we were all brought together for a reason.
00:30:20To share a common destiny.
00:30:30Wow!
00:30:56How do you like my vapors?
00:30:58We'll take them for a spin one day.
00:31:01Awesome!
00:31:02Come on!
00:31:05Right up these stairs is the west wing, which you will have all to yourselves.
00:31:10And this is your room.
00:31:13And you can change anything you want, of course.
00:31:24And this is the playroom.
00:31:27I didn't know what kind of toys you kids liked, so I had Luther buy out the whole store.
00:31:33Well, forgive me if I go a little overboard, but this is all new to me, too.
00:31:41Now, I'll leave you two to get settled.
00:31:45Welcome home.
00:31:52Isn't this great?
00:32:09I've always been fascinated by metaphysics.
00:32:13Divination.
00:32:15Telepathy.
00:32:17Mysticism.
00:32:19Magic.
00:32:25Madame Blavatsky's crystal ball.
00:32:28Do you know who she was?
00:32:31No.
00:32:32She was the most famous psychic of the 19th century.
00:32:41Now, you kids have been blessed with a special gift.
00:32:46But there's no need for you to be afraid of it.
00:32:49And I know you want to keep it a secret.
00:32:52So if you don't want to talk about it, you don't have to.
00:32:55But if we're going to be a family, we have to start trusting each other.
00:33:00Hmm?
00:33:14No good eyes ever get me.
00:33:40Here, try another one.
00:33:42Okay, here.
00:33:45Oh, way to go!
00:34:05Good night, Mr. Bolt.
00:34:08Danny, how you doing?
00:34:11I just wanted to tell you.
00:34:14I trust you.
00:34:16Well, come on, sit down here. Let's have a little chat.
00:34:18Oh, you like strawberries, don't you?
00:34:20I got some here dipped in chocolate.
00:34:30Huh? Good, huh?
00:34:45You're up awful early.
00:34:47I couldn't sleep.
00:34:49How about you?
00:34:52I always get up this early.
00:35:01Don't you have any friends, Luther?
00:35:03Sure, Mr. Bolt's my friend.
00:35:06No, I mean real friends.
00:35:09The kind that give you that feeling.
00:35:12What feeling?
00:35:14Like you've known them forever.
00:35:18No, I got a friend like that.
00:35:22Only he's, um...
00:35:26What?
00:35:29He's in my head.
00:35:32An imaginary friend?
00:35:36I dream about him and he teaches me things.
00:35:39Like what?
00:35:45Patience.
00:36:11Stop it, Danny.
00:36:16What is wrong with you?
00:36:19I have a funny feeling.
00:36:22About what?
00:36:25Everything.
00:36:27This place, Mr. Bolt.
00:36:31Why? He's our friend.
00:36:33I'm not so sure.
00:36:35No wonder you never left that orphanage. You can't trust anybody.
00:37:00I don't know. I just have this bad feeling about those kids.
00:37:03Like something is going to happen.
00:37:06Well, we're always afraid of things we don't understand.
00:37:09In another era, they might have been burned at the stake.
00:37:12But if you accept their miracle, make it your friend, then everything turns to gold.
00:37:23Glad we had this chance to talk.
00:37:27There's something I want to share with you.
00:37:30How long have you been with me now?
00:37:32Nine years.
00:37:34Almost a decade, huh?
00:37:36That practically makes us family.
00:37:39I'd like to have you keep working here for a long time.
00:37:44So I'm going to let you in on a little secret.
00:37:47I had some geologists examine Witch Mountain.
00:37:51You know what they found?
00:37:53Uranium.
00:37:55Now it's going to take a lot of money to make that park beautiful.
00:37:59These rocks could pay for everything.
00:38:02Why are you telling me this?
00:38:04Those kids can make things fly, Luther.
00:38:06We can mine it without big trucks or dynamite.
00:38:10That way, everybody's happy, including you, when you get your bonus.
00:38:16I need your help, Luther.
00:38:18I need someone I can trust.
00:38:23Well, I hear you got a pretty good game, John.
00:38:25That was all state and high school, sir.
00:38:28You want to serve?
00:38:29Oh, no. You go ahead.
00:38:32Well, I hope I can count on your support next week for the Witch Mountain vote.
00:38:36Well, absolutely.
00:38:38But I don't know that it's going to matter much.
00:38:40You see, the chairman is dead set against you, and she does have the swing vote.
00:38:44Ah, now, there's something I wanted to talk to you about.
00:38:49So she didn't make the meeting, huh?
00:38:53Now, Mr. Poe, you're not asking me to do something funny, are you?
00:38:56No, no, no. Just a little mistake, that's all.
00:39:00One of your deputies tows the wrong car, and presto.
00:39:04Miss Lake misses the vote, huh?
00:39:08I don't know, sir.
00:39:10Tell you what.
00:39:11Why don't we make a little sporting event out of this?
00:39:14If you beat me, I'll owe you a big favor.
00:39:18If I win, well, you just help me do what's right for Ashlyn, huh?
00:39:23Huh?
00:39:24Think about it.
00:39:26Oh, kid.
00:39:27Thought maybe you'd like to be ball boys for a couple of old-timers here.
00:39:30You remember Sheriff Bronson?
00:39:31See, it all worked out.
00:39:33You finally found your family.
00:39:35I sure hope you don't run away from this place.
00:39:38Oh, he loves it here, don't you, Danny, huh?
00:39:41Okay.
00:39:43So, are we on?
00:39:45Sure, go ahead.
00:39:51First one in.
00:40:13Fifteen love.
00:40:29Did you see the look on the sheriff's face?
00:40:32Man, I haven't had so much fun in years.
00:40:35You know, it seems so right having you kids here.
00:40:39I never realized how empty this house was.
00:40:43I know this may seem kind of sudden, but I...
00:40:46I was hoping you'd consider letting me...
00:40:50be your father.
00:40:52What do you mean?
00:40:54Well, I mean adoption.
00:40:57You know, putting on paper what I already feel in my heart.
00:41:05They'd been there less than a week.
00:41:08Danny wasn't ready to give it up.
00:41:16So, what do you think?
00:41:19I want to run away.
00:41:22Are you crazy?
00:41:24I've been getting this feeling...
00:41:26like we're supposed to be going somewhere.
00:41:29Well, you always have weird feelings.
00:41:31He never lets us go anywhere.
00:41:33This whole place is surrounded by fences.
00:41:35Can't you see we're prisoners?
00:41:37Ridiculous.
00:41:41I'll prove it.
00:41:43You guys are going to spoil your appetites, you know.
00:41:46Nah, we're big eaters.
00:41:48Well, there's some frozen yogurt in your kitchenette.
00:41:51It's better for you anyway.
00:41:53We really want ice cream.
00:41:55All right. I'll have Luther drive you to town.
00:42:00See? Anything we want.
00:42:02It's like heaven.
00:42:04What's wrong with wanting it to last forever?
00:42:09They were drifting apart.
00:42:11Both of them could feel it.
00:42:13He still wasn't ready to let in the light.
00:42:16Meanwhile, fate was leading me closer and closer to the mystery.
00:42:28Jose.
00:42:30Take over for me.
00:42:32I've got to go to Ashland.
00:42:46Hello?
00:42:48Where are they?
00:42:50They're getting their cones.
00:42:52We can share mine if you like.
00:42:54There's got to be another one in here.
00:42:56What are you doing in the car? Get in there.
00:42:58Don't let them out of your sight.
00:43:00Don't touch anybody. And get them back here right away.
00:43:02Yes, sir.
00:43:09Oh, got it.
00:43:11Oops.
00:43:13Sorry.
00:43:15You can have mine.
00:43:16It's okay.
00:43:26I knew it was you.
00:43:28Ready to go home, kids?
00:43:30What do you mean?
00:43:32No time to explain.
00:43:34Meet me at sunset on the mountain.
00:43:37Which mountain?
00:43:39Exactly.
00:43:40Exactly what?
00:43:42He means which mountain.
00:43:44We're leaving.
00:43:46Come back soon.
00:43:49Put it on Mr. Bolt's account.
00:43:51Why can't we stay?
00:43:52Bolt wants us back by lunch.
00:43:54That guy was creepy.
00:43:59What was that guy saying about the mountain?
00:44:03Nothing.
00:44:04Nothing?
00:44:09It was one of those moments.
00:44:11A mysterious connection.
00:44:14I felt like I knew them somehow.
00:44:16Like they had a message for me.
00:44:29I saw it.
00:44:31The light.
00:44:33The light?
00:44:36You mean this light?
00:44:39I know about the twins. I saw you on TV.
00:44:44Does the word private mean anything to you?
00:44:47Tell me where you're from.
00:44:49I'm from Kansas.
00:44:51If it's any of your business.
00:44:53Those kids.
00:44:56They're the babies I saw.
00:45:23This is an emergency. You have to let me go.
00:45:26All right, Zoe. Just slow down here.
00:45:28You were going 50 miles an hour through a school zone.
00:45:32It's a Sunday. You can't force that.
00:45:34Nobody goes 50 miles an hour through my town.
00:45:37They're getting away.
00:45:39I got to go.
00:45:41I'm sorry.
00:45:42I'm sorry.
00:45:43I'm sorry.
00:45:44I'm sorry.
00:45:45I'm sorry.
00:45:46I'm sorry.
00:45:47I'm sorry.
00:45:48I'm sorry.
00:45:49I'm sorry.
00:45:50I'm sorry.
00:45:51Oh, they're getting away.
00:45:53I got to go after them.
00:45:54Who?
00:45:55You know those twins that you never believed in?
00:45:58Well, they're in that car, and they're being held against their will.
00:46:01The magic light twins?
00:46:03Yeah, those are the ones.
00:46:05You're really something, you know that?
00:46:07I'm going to let you go this time.
00:46:09Drive carefully.
00:46:12I had just missed them.
00:46:14And the mystery still eluded me.
00:46:21What are you doing?
00:46:22What does it look like I'm doing?
00:46:24I've been looking everywhere for you.
00:46:26We have to make our escape plans.
00:46:28I'm not going anywhere.
00:46:30Are you crazy?
00:46:31Look, this is the best thing that ever happened to us.
00:46:34You want to ruin everything just because we meet some weirdo?
00:46:37That's what I call crazy.
00:46:38He was wearing purple.
00:46:39What does that prove?
00:46:41He could be a witch.
00:46:42Why do you think he wanted us on the mountain?
00:46:44Santa just made that stuff up.
00:46:46Yeah, then how come we're so scared of it?
00:46:49I just know we've got to get away from here.
00:46:52I'm sick of you and your bad feelings.
00:46:57I want to find our real home.
00:46:59Running away will just put us back in that stupid orphanage.
00:47:02It's better than this fancy prison.
00:47:04Well, go on then.
00:47:06Just go back to that stupid little boyfriend of yours.
00:47:08You don't need me, do you?
00:47:19We're looking for you.
00:47:22Where's Danny?
00:47:25We had a fight.
00:47:28That's too bad.
00:47:29Well, I've got something to take that off your mind.
00:47:32I want to test these power spheres.
00:47:35This is a lead cylinder.
00:47:37Can you make it fly?
00:47:39No.
00:47:40Well, I'll show you.
00:47:42I'll show you.
00:47:45Can you make it fly?
00:47:47No.
00:47:50Danny shared everything.
00:47:52We've gotten to be good friends, you know.
00:47:57I won't tell anyone your secret.
00:48:00Well, telekinetic power is like any other muscle.
00:48:03You've got to exercise it, or it'll atrophy.
00:48:08I'm just trying to help you guys.
00:48:12I'll open it up.
00:48:15Now, can you make those rocks fly into the tube?
00:48:22This won't work.
00:48:25Why don't you trust me?
00:48:27I mean, it hurts my feelings.
00:48:29I opened my house to you.
00:48:31I opened my heart.
00:48:33And still you act like we were strangers.
00:48:37What is it you don't like about me?
00:48:40It's not that.
00:48:42I just can't do it.
00:48:45Why not?
00:48:47We're too far away.
00:48:51Well, let's move closer.
00:48:55There.
00:48:56Right?
00:49:13I'm losing my patience, young lady.
00:49:15Now try and move those rocks.
00:49:18What's this about, anyway?
00:49:19It's too complicated for you to understand.
00:49:21Just do what I'm telling you.
00:49:22I can't.
00:49:24I can be mean if I have to be.
00:49:27But nobody wants anything bad to happen, do they?
00:49:32You love your brother?
00:49:33I'm not going to help you. I hate you, and I hate being here.
00:49:36Listen, you little witch.
00:49:38I don't care what you think about me.
00:49:39But nobody says no to me.
00:49:41You hear?
00:49:42It's not her fault.
00:49:44She can't do it by herself.
00:49:47What are you talking about?
00:49:49They have to be together for their powers to work.
00:49:51How do you know that?
00:49:55I don't know.
00:49:57I just know.
00:50:00Is that true?
00:50:07Why are you so unhappy, Thunderbolt?
00:50:12We've got everything here.
00:50:14Nice barn, all the hay you can eat.
00:50:21Wait a second.
00:50:22You don't like being locked up, do you?
00:50:28Wait.
00:50:29I know you don't want to do this. I can tell.
00:50:32It's my job.
00:50:42It's my job.
00:50:55Danny.
00:51:04Help me, Danny.
00:51:06I'm a prisoner.
00:51:09Is that you, Thunderbolt?
00:51:21Come on, Thunderbolt.
00:51:22Want to run around in here?
00:51:28I'll bet you've been locked up so long you don't even know what freedom is anymore.
00:51:31You're a prisoner too, Danny.
00:51:33You just don't realize it.
00:51:35Want to go for a spin, Danny?
00:51:37You can drive.
00:51:40Me?
00:51:41Ever driven a car?
00:51:43No.
00:51:44All the way to the house, if you like.
00:51:48Lighten the light, brother.
00:51:50I don't want to lose you again.
00:51:52Huh?
00:51:54Get in my car, you idiot.
00:51:59Let me go!
00:52:00Just shut up!
00:52:04By Sunday morning,
00:52:06By Sunday morning, I had the feeling that time was running out.
00:52:09I needed to find someone with answers.
00:52:26Professor Ravitch?
00:52:32You scared the living leptons out of me.
00:52:34What are you doing here?
00:52:36I read about you in Omni, and I snuck past security.
00:52:39Well, you just turn around and sneak right back out.
00:52:42You ruined my cumulonimbus dispersion.
00:52:45I drove 50 miles to get here.
00:52:48And I'm not leaving until you talk to me.
00:52:51Have you ever heard of office hours?
00:52:53I'm not a student.
00:52:55I just want to know if people can go through space on a beam of light.
00:53:01You mean like Star Trek?
00:53:03Star Trek.
00:53:04Wonderful show.
00:53:06Beam me up, Scotty.
00:53:09Kind of.
00:53:11But purple.
00:53:12Ultra frequency.
00:53:14But technology, for that's probably 2,000 years away.
00:53:17How come in movies aliens are always slimy and weird?
00:53:22Couldn't there be extraterrestrials that look exactly like us?
00:53:26I mean humans from outer space.
00:53:29Now, there's a wicked controversy.
00:53:32A missing link.
00:53:34No one can explain the transition between animal and human consciousness.
00:53:38Are you saying that we could all be from another world?
00:53:42Yes, if that's what you want to believe.
00:53:45Well, the less radical explanation proposes some sort of, well, evolutionary leap.
00:53:51Catalyzed by a, well, by a...
00:53:56I think, therefore I am.
00:53:58I think.
00:54:00I think, therefore, I think I am.
00:54:05Adoption papers.
00:54:07Already signed by the judge.
00:54:10That means you're mine.
00:54:12I'm a powerful man in this county.
00:54:15There's nothing I couldn't get away with.
00:54:17After all, who are the police going to believe?
00:54:21Me or a couple of orphans?
00:54:31There's a busload of kids outside.
00:54:34Ah, yeah, the picnic.
00:54:37Completely slipped my mind.
00:54:39All right, send them away. Make some excuse.
00:54:41The news crew is here, too.
00:54:44All right, I'll make it quick.
00:54:47Lock them up.
00:54:49Separately.
00:54:51But, do as I say.
00:54:54Hello! Hello, everybody!
00:54:58Hello! Hello, everybody!
00:55:00You've been waiting for this all week?
00:55:02Come on, don't be shy. Come on up here.
00:55:04How are you? Good to see you.
00:55:05Glad you could come.
00:55:06How are you? Nice to see you again.
00:55:08How you been? Huh?
00:55:09Hi, how are you?
00:55:10Good.
00:55:11Hello! Hello! How are you? Nice to meet you.
00:55:13Hello, Mr. Wolfe.
00:55:14Nice to have you here.
00:55:15Oh, well, thank you so much.
00:55:16Children! Children!
00:55:18How about a swim, huh?
00:55:21Children! Children!
00:55:26The station wants to turn this into a half-hour special.
00:55:29Well, I'm flattered.
00:55:30Orphan stories. Big ratings.
00:55:33Where's your pair?
00:55:35Well, sadly, they've been taken ill.
00:55:38Can I see them?
00:55:40It's chicken pox, I'm afraid.
00:55:43Chicken pox the first week.
00:55:45That's what I call a crash course in the joys of foster parenting.
00:55:49I'm loving every minute of it.
00:55:51Makes me feel young again.
00:55:54Oh, my God!
00:56:18Sandra.
00:56:19Sandra!
00:56:23Sandra!
00:56:54Ah!
00:56:56Ah!
00:57:02Ah!
00:57:04Ah!
00:57:20Ah!
00:57:22Ah!
00:57:24Ah!
00:57:28Ah!
00:57:35Sandra!
00:57:36That sick maniac. I'm calling the cops.
00:57:39No, he's friends with them, too. Just help us get out of here.
00:57:41Can you crack these?
00:57:44Handcuffs?
00:57:45Piece of cake.
00:57:48I never thought I'd be glad to see you picking locks.
00:57:54Let's find Danny.
00:57:55Don't I get a hug?
00:57:57Later.
00:58:01Stables.
00:58:02How do you know?
00:58:03I have some things to tell you.
00:58:07Superhero powers. Magic light ESP.
00:58:10It's true.
00:58:11In here!
00:58:12I think all this caviar is going to your head.
00:58:14I'm handcuffed.
00:58:15We'll get you out.
00:58:17I can't break that monster.
00:58:28Oh, brother.
00:58:30Oh, yeah.
00:58:31There you go. There you go.
00:58:34Somehow, Anna got out.
00:58:37What?
00:58:38I didn't do anything. I'm honest.
00:58:40All right, get to the stables.
00:58:41Don't take care of this guy.
00:58:43What are you doing?
00:58:44It's a superhero thing.
00:58:46Let's use the light, Danny.
00:58:50We're too far!
00:58:51Don't think.
00:58:53Use your heart.
00:59:03Whoa!
00:59:04How'd you do that?
00:59:05I'll explain later.
00:59:14Get the cuffs.
00:59:25Hey, kids.
00:59:26This is the only way out of here.
00:59:28And I can't let you pass, so...
00:59:30You're not like him.
00:59:32You won't hurt us.
00:59:33Nobody's going to hurt anybody.
00:59:35I'm just doing my job.
00:59:37Mr. Paul is a nice man once you get to know him.
00:59:41And I'm just not going to let him down.
00:59:43Well, then, I guess you'll just have to come and get us.
00:59:54Yuck.
01:00:04I'm sorry for not believing in you.
01:00:12You weren't joking.
01:00:16It's still me inside.
01:00:19Thanks, Sandy.
01:00:25Oh, where am I? I'm going to get fired.
01:00:30We have to get out of here.
01:00:32I know.
01:00:36A fire boat.
01:00:38You can't ride that horse.
01:00:40No, it's okay. I made friends with him.
01:00:44But how are we going to get him out with Luther around?
01:00:49A diversion.
01:00:51Diversion?
01:00:52Diversion's my specialty.
01:01:05Easy, boy.
01:01:06Easy, Thunderbolt.
01:01:07Easy, Thunderbolt.
01:01:09Whoa, boy.
01:01:10Good boy.
01:01:11It's okay.
01:01:21Awesome golf cart!
01:01:22Hey! Hey, wait a minute!
01:01:34What the...
01:01:36Hey!
01:01:38Hey, you kids!
01:01:40Stop! Stop!
01:01:43That horse is dangerous!
01:01:46Can't he go any faster?
01:01:47Come on, Thunderbolt!
01:01:57Hey!
01:02:00Stop! Stop!
01:02:01Run, Thunderbolt! We're free!
01:02:03We're free!
01:02:06Mr. Bolt will have us back, Skeeto.
01:02:14How are we going to get out? It's locked.
01:02:17Well, jump the hedge over there.
01:02:19Are you crazy? We can't jump that.
01:02:21We can't jump that.
01:02:32Don't do it!
01:02:35Try again!
01:02:36Come on, Thunderbolt!
01:02:39Stop! Hey, hey, you can't stop!
01:02:46Let's go!
01:02:47Stop! Stop!
01:02:51Stop!
01:03:16Whoa, Thunderbolt!
01:03:18Inside!
01:03:19Quickly!
01:03:22Quickly!
01:03:31Wow, you have the light, too!
01:03:33We all do.
01:03:35Everyone has the light inside.
01:03:37Most humans have forgotten about it.
01:03:41But...
01:03:43Who are we?
01:03:45Where do we come from?
01:03:47We come from a parallel universe.
01:03:50We come from a parallel dimension.
01:03:52A planet just like Earth.
01:03:54Except everyone has a twin.
01:03:57So, we're from outer space?
01:04:00Something like that.
01:04:02I can't believe it! I'm a Martian!
01:04:05Martian, Earthling, Space Cadet.
01:04:08They're just names.
01:04:10It's what's inside that counts.
01:04:12And inside, we are all from the same place.
01:04:16So, what are we doing here?
01:04:19Look, we're here to learn.
01:04:20On Earth, we have emotions.
01:04:23We can feel.
01:04:25But if we're from another world,
01:04:27why do we look like everyone else?
01:04:30Millions of years ago,
01:04:32our ancestors came here for a visit.
01:04:36They had so much fun,
01:04:38they decided to stay.
01:04:41Well, then the trouble began.
01:04:44Twins started fighting over worldly things.
01:04:47They drifted apart and lost their powers.
01:04:51Soon, they'd forgotten where they came from
01:04:54and became human.
01:04:56So, you mean, everybody comes from our world?
01:05:04They've just lost touch with the light.
01:05:07Got him.
01:05:09The Purple General Star.
01:05:11You've been given a kind of amnesia
01:05:13about where you're from
01:05:15for your own protection.
01:05:17I'm like a chaperone.
01:05:19It's my job to make sure
01:05:21you get back to the bus on time.
01:05:23When do we leave?
01:05:25Today, at sunset.
01:05:27Unless you'd like to stay
01:05:29for another nine years.
01:05:33I just had a weird feeling.
01:05:35Yeah, me too.
01:05:38I'm going to miss you.
01:05:40I'm going to miss you.
01:05:42I'm going to miss you.
01:05:44I'm going to miss you.
01:05:46I'm going to miss you.
01:05:48I'm going to miss you.
01:05:50I'm going to miss you.
01:05:52Me three.
01:05:56Sorry, we're closed.
01:05:59Hey, have you seen a couple of kids?
01:06:01A boy and a girl about ten years old.
01:06:03Kids?
01:06:05No, can't say that I have.
01:06:08Mind if I take a look around?
01:06:10Help yourself.
01:06:18Thanks a lot.
01:06:20You're welcome.
01:06:23Thanks.
01:06:29Kids, I know you're back here.
01:06:32No one's going to hurt you.
01:06:46Let's get the horse.
01:06:48Kids.
01:06:53Meet us in back by the water.
01:07:17You first.
01:07:20Hey, hey.
01:07:22Hey, stop right there.
01:07:27Gotcha.
01:07:30Just go.
01:07:32I'm not leaving without you.
01:07:34Go or we'll both be caught.
01:07:42All right.
01:07:44It's going to be all right, kids.
01:07:46All right, let's go.
01:07:48Hey, what are you doing?
01:07:50Hey, you stop.
01:07:52It's a diversion.
01:07:54Let's run.
01:07:57Kids.
01:07:59Kids.
01:08:01I'm going after the kids.
01:08:03Hey, stop.
01:08:04Hey, stop.
01:08:22Hey, stop.
01:08:23Stop.
01:08:32If anything happens to them, I'll never forgive myself.
01:08:35Oh, it's not your fault, Mr. Bolt.
01:08:37Some kids are just always going to be runaways.
01:08:39Excuse me.
01:08:41Mr. Bolt, it baffles me why anyone would want to leave this place.
01:08:44Didn't you say those kids were sick?
01:08:46We just got an ID on that farm truck.
01:08:48It belongs to Herman.
01:08:50He lives up on the mountain.
01:08:51Access road.
01:08:53Why would sick kids run away?
01:08:55I can't imagine.
01:08:57I thought we were family.
01:08:59Well, I do have a bus.
01:09:01Look, I'll take care of it.
01:09:03Keep that woman away from me.
01:09:05Nobody pays you to think.
01:09:07Mr. Bolt.
01:09:09Mr. Bolt, I think we may have found them.
01:09:11We need to commandeer your bus.
01:09:13I'm coming too, I insist.
01:09:15You can ride with me.
01:09:17We'll follow you.
01:09:19No press.
01:09:22Nobody really had the chicken pox, did they?
01:09:25The chicken pox, um...
01:09:28I'm going too.
01:09:30Kids, stay here with the driver.
01:09:40Help me find my keys.
01:09:42Come on.
01:09:51Come on.
01:10:09Should we go in?
01:10:11Now I have a bad feeling.
01:10:22Look at that guy.
01:10:24You see the axe he's got?
01:10:27He's one of the witches.
01:10:29Let's get out of here.
01:10:31But we're miles from the road.
01:10:33What are you doing?
01:10:35It's getting late.
01:10:37We have to find out where we are.
01:10:39Come on, are you crazy?
01:10:44Hurry up.
01:10:46Quick, he's coming.
01:10:59Danny!
01:11:15Hurry!
01:11:23Come on Danny, save yourself!
01:11:42I don't want to be a priest.
01:11:45You don't want to hurt us.
01:11:47I can sense it.
01:11:57I remember you.
01:11:59You're the guy that separated us.
01:12:02It happened at Witch Mountain.
01:12:04That's why we're so scared of it.
01:12:15We need you.
01:12:29We need your help.
01:12:37By facing their fears, they had made a new friend.
01:12:41Funny how life is.
01:12:43For years, I had been avoiding the mysterious circle where I first saw the babies.
01:12:47Now I knew it was time to go back.
01:12:50Kids, I don't know your names, but I hope your spirits are still here.
01:12:56Maybe you can hear me.
01:13:00I don't know why, but I feel connected to you.
01:13:08I want to know where you're from, where you're going.
01:13:13I'll help you get there if you need it.
01:13:17This is stupid.
01:13:21You.
01:13:23You're sincere, aren't you?
01:13:26Maybe there is a way that you can help.
01:13:28How?
01:13:30Go to the mountain.
01:13:32When?
01:13:33Now.
01:13:34You'll see why.
01:13:38The miracle of miracles.
01:13:40The mysterious connection.
01:13:42I had to go where I hadn't been since I was a little girl.
01:13:47You're probably the first one to see us land.
01:13:50Then you'll be able to watch us leave.
01:13:54Where's your family?
01:13:58He doesn't have one.
01:14:14Just let me drive.
01:14:15No, you can't drive.
01:14:16We're almost there. Just let me drive the rest of the way.
01:14:17Stop bugging me.
01:14:19Just stop bugging me.
01:14:20And go lie in the bathroom.
01:14:21Please.
01:14:22Please, I'm going to lose my badge.
01:14:24You're going to lose your badge.
01:14:30Stop! Stop!
01:14:33Thank God.
01:14:34My bike broke down.
01:14:35I've got to get up the mountain.
01:14:37It's you.
01:14:42I've been waiting nine years for this.
01:14:45It was such an amazing feeling, like I had known them forever.
01:14:50Even the lonely hermit and his squeaky truck.
01:14:53Together now, a mysterious connection.
01:14:57How much further is it to the top?
01:14:59It's less than a mile.
01:15:23Daddy's here.
01:15:43Daddy's here.
01:15:51Okay, come out of the truck.
01:15:54Nice and easy.
01:15:56Let the kids go and no one will be hurt.
01:15:59Xander!
01:16:00Oh, Xander.
01:16:01Oh, thanks.
01:16:02I'm just here to save you.
01:16:04We're giving you 30 seconds to come out of that truck.
01:16:08Don't worry, we'll figure a way out of this.
01:16:10Right, it's good to be optimistic.
01:16:16Ten seconds to come out peacefully.
01:16:19Nine.
01:16:21Eight.
01:16:22Let's use the light.
01:16:23Seven.
01:16:25Six.
01:16:27Five.
01:16:30Four.
01:16:32Three.
01:16:34Two.
01:16:36One.
01:16:47Oh, my gosh.
01:16:56We don't have enough power.
01:17:01What are we going to do?
01:17:04Can they help?
01:17:07What do you mean?
01:17:08Everybody has the light, remember?
01:17:11Join hands.
01:17:13Yeah, make a circle.
01:17:14What are we doing?
01:17:15You'll see.
01:17:18This is it.
01:17:19This is why I'm here.
01:17:21The purple guy, he knew you'd need my help.
01:17:28Don't be afraid.
01:17:29Let in the light.
01:17:49What are we doing?
01:17:56What are we doing?
01:18:23They're going to the witch's shoulder.
01:18:32No roads lead up there, sir.
01:18:35Your chauffeur told me everything, Mr. Bolt.
01:18:38He had those kids under lock and key.
01:18:41He planned to exploit their power.
01:18:43Woman's talking nonsense.
01:18:46Xander!
01:18:48I'm going up there.
01:18:50Wait!
01:18:51I'm coming with you.
01:18:55Very, very disappointed in you, Mr. Bolt.
01:18:58You ungrateful little turncoat.
01:19:00You're fired!
01:19:02Too late.
01:19:03I quit a half an hour ago.
01:19:05I'm going to go where I belong.
01:19:08Come on in here.
01:19:10Put the cuffs on this guy.
01:19:21Okay, Mr. Bolt.
01:19:23In the back.
01:19:25Watch your head.
01:19:47All right, everyone.
01:19:49Form a line.
01:19:51In pairs.
01:19:53Here.
01:19:54Stay in line.
01:20:06Yeah, huh?
01:20:07Yeah.
01:20:08Really, really?
01:20:10It's time to go.
01:20:11Me too.
01:20:22What are you doing?
01:20:25You're not the only one with a twin around here, you know.
01:20:38His twin is on the other side.
01:20:40Where are we going?
01:20:54Come.
01:21:02Come on.
01:21:10Come on.
01:21:23Next please.
01:21:31Bye.
01:21:33Couldn't have done it without you.
01:21:40He wants to go with us.
01:21:43Can he come?
01:21:46Not alone.
01:21:47He needs someone else to make the light.
01:21:51What about you, Zoe?
01:21:53Somebody has to stay and tell the story.
01:22:07You really are a superhero.
01:22:09So are you, Xander.
01:22:12My turn to give you a present.
01:22:20Now you have it too.
01:22:23I'll never forget about you.
01:22:28I gotta go.
01:22:40Can you hear me?
01:22:43It's you.
01:22:49Brother?
01:22:50Brother.
01:22:57I thought you were a dream.
01:23:01They're twins.
01:23:03I've been wondering when those two were going to show up.
01:23:06They've been missing the ride home for 45 years now.
01:23:09They were the ones who discovered us.
01:23:11We're all drawn together.
01:23:13It's in the stars.
01:23:15Come.
01:23:18You two go last to seal the gateway.
01:23:20What about you?
01:23:22Gotta stay here and welcome the next tour group.
01:23:35I've never been a believer, but that's a miracle.
01:24:00What do you think?
01:24:02Better than hot fudge sundaes?
01:24:06Now it's your turn.
01:24:08Come.
01:24:09Don't be afraid.
01:24:11Come.
01:24:30Why isn't this working?
01:24:33I don't know.
01:24:38Are you scared?
01:24:40I just don't know what it's going to feel like.
01:24:45How do you know we'll even like it up there?
01:24:49I'm scared too.
01:24:51But that's what's fun about it.
01:24:53It's a mystery.
01:24:57Nothing bad can happen.
01:25:00We're together again.
01:25:04It's okay.
01:25:06Don't be afraid.
01:25:08Don't be afraid.
01:25:11Use your heart.
01:25:15Let in the light.
01:25:26So that's the amazing mystery.
01:25:28The light carried us down here many years ago, and now we've forgotten about it.
01:25:33It may be hard to believe, but look into your hearts.
01:25:38I'm not the only one that feels they don't quite belong.
01:25:42Don't be afraid.
01:25:43Let in the light.
01:25:46Then you'll see things differently.
01:25:50I'm not afraid of the mountain anymore, because I know that inside the old witch, there's a princess.
01:25:56And she's been smiling down on me all along.
01:26:09Coming up next, Cory follows her dreams to become a jockey with the help of her magical horse
01:26:14in Disney Channel's original movie, Ready to Run.
01:26:17Catch it next, only on Disney.
