This supernatural thriller demonstrates that true success comes from self-belief and personal determination rather than supernatural wishes. The protagonist, Raj, who dreams of becoming an actor despite his father's expectations for him to pursue medicine, ultimately proves that genuine commitment to one's craft and personal integrity are more powerful than any magical intervention. The film's narrative arc shows that while wishes may seem to come true, they often lead to complications, whereas honest effort and perseverance create lasting fulfillment.

Added:There's a woman.
Did you ever feel the magic?
[music] >> OMG, listen.
>> What is it now? Your favorite star got fired.
>> Oh, silly. It's the audition I've been waiting for. Hurry up. Get the camera before dad gets home.
>> What do I get for helping?
>> Okay, you'll get five bucks.
>> Make a 10 and you got a deal.
>> Don't you need to practice or something?
>> No, I memorized it.
>> Whenever you're ready.
>> Yeah, whenever you're ready.
>> Okay, Raj, a little bit more to the left.
No, you're right.
>> Okay, now go.
>> Hello, I'm Raj and I'm auditioning for the Stanbury Performing Arts Camp. This above all, thine own self be true as it must follow as the night the day, thou cannot be false to any man.
>> He's here. Pull your envelope.
Envelope.
>> Sharpie.
>> Sharpie.
>> He's getting out of the car. Sam.
[snorts] >> Oh, back in a second. Dad, >> you better have studied for exam.
Lars, Lily.
I just love to see you guys in Indian dress. Hey, did you have fun at Indian party tonight?
>> Yeah, it was so much fun. [laughter] >> Yeah.
>> Hey, Dad.
>> H >> I got an A on my last test. I'm one step closer to getting into that camp.
>> You have your studies to focus on. You can become a doctor with one a. You must show discipline, son. We have gone over this many many times. You must take things more seriously now. Life is not just an act. [clears throat] You have your sisters to think about.
>> Yeah, Raj, >> you are the man of the house as I may not be around forever. But dad, it's only for a week.
>> Are you at an average 4.0?
There's your answer.
>> He's a really great actor, Dad.
>> He probably got it from mom.
I know I have shared many stories of your mother performing.
She too dreamed of being a Bollywood star.
She was quite good.
But when she got sick, all her dreams were gone. Raj, I don't want you to be distracted or disappointed.
>> I know, father, but I just want to try.
Just give me a chance. I want [snorts] to make mother proud of me and you.
That's why I will give you my word to keep my GPA.
You really want this, don't you? Then if you do, you will show me in your action that you are a man of your word and will follow through.
4.0.
That has to be your GPA by the end of the semester.
>> Done.
>> And you need to do all your chores.
>> Done.
>> Their homework, too.
>> Yeah. Whatever you say.
>> Yeah, whatever you say. You kids are very American.
4.0 >> 4.0 >> I won't let you down.
>> That's what I'm afraid of.
>> # flawless.
>> Can you stop that here?
>> And where else am I going to do it? in your room.
>> Well, the temperature is not right in there, and I don't want my makeup to melt on my face. My followers deserve better.
>> Thanks, by the way.
>> Or convincing Dad.
>> Oh, I didn't convince him to do anything.
>> Well, whatever you did. I appreciate it.
Now, all I need to do is get a 4.0 GPA, do my chores, and perform a heart transplant to make the father happy. And I'm in the clear. Stanbury Performing Arts Camp, here I come.
>> All right, the music is here.
>> I'll have a nice vacation away from all the fighting between you and dad.
>> To announce the lucky winner for the >> be for my skin.
>> I wonder who the winners are going to be. You know what? As I recall, I think this is the house he said he never leaves. A little bit creepy to me, but hey, everybody's got to win these contests. So, let's see who the lucky winners are. But you're going to second you.
Back to the back.
>> Come on, Trey. That's two out of six, man. Focus. You got scouts all over you, man. There are no second chances. Should be more like Marcus. That boy's got drive. Don't be distracted by this acting crap. There ain't no security in your future, boy. Now again, >> you know, you really should have came to my play last week.
Mom said I was pretty good.
>> I'm saying like Denzel good.
>> NBA Trey, we going to the NBA now. Okay.
Don't let this be a distraction now again.
I mean, I kind of already auditioned for this acting competition. I mean, it's more like a a camp.
I don't want to hear it, Trey. I don't want to hear it. You've been talking to your mom again, huh?
NBA, the N, the B, the A.
>> Whatever you say.
Nice. Nice. Just keep it up. Just keep it up.
>> Oh my god. We're going to do the head shot. Oh my god. This is so exciting today. Okay. You're going to get like super pretty head shot. We had a lot of outfits [music] over there. And >> what happened with the school play?
>> What happened?
>> You two have get the first position.
What really happened?
>> We need to work on this.
>> You two deserve to be leads. Okay. Are you kidding me?
>> No second place.
>> Right.
>> Taking the world by storm.
>> Our lucky winners, [music] Kelsey and Karen [laughter] are girls.
>> I told you.
>> I got it.
>> Yay.
>> I can completely see you girls that show like getting their own show, baby.
>> Kelsey and Claire take Hollywood.
>> Yes, I can do it. And Claire and Kelsey and Mr. Do you know the big baby? Yeah.
He's going to be super.
>> We're going to be superstars.
>> Oh, I might have to quit my job.
>> Oh my.
>> Oh, we did it. We did it. [screaming] [music] >> Coming up next on WBM Sh.
>> Oh my gosh. Auntie, stop cleaning. Stop cleaning.
>> Girl, what is wrong with you? I've got to get this cleaning done. I got four more houses to have.
>> See, that's what's wrong with you youth these days. It's either those games >> or that rap music like that one name like Little Tie. Little Tie.
>> What kind of name is that?
>> Really be a serious entries.
>> It's that contest for the actors. The one I apply to.
>> Okay. Okay. Here we go.
>> Child, >> your mama work so hard.
I still don't know how she got all the money to send you way to over there.
Our winner comes straight from London.
>> All right, Caroline.
>> Oh my gosh, I'm in. Auntie, I'm in.
>> Oh, I'm going to be the next Halib Berry [music] one day.
>> Girl, you in your big old dreams.
You just like your mama for the life and dreams that rest her soul. But can you imagine me on that big screen?
>> Just remember where you come from, baby.
On a big screen. Okay, girl.
What >> did I not say to stop with that nonsense until you get 4.0? H >> but dad >> Lily, give me my remote. Look, can you get me a remote, please?
>> You get it.
>> Oh my gosh.
>> I'm going to get you.
>> I'm going to get you. I'm going to go.
Oh man.
Get me right now.
>> So, where are you going? Somewhere to somewhere.
>> Pocket.
>> Oh, got to go. Bye.
>> Is this your report card?
>> Yeah. Did you open it?
>> No, I want you to open it.
>> Really?
>> The suspension is killing me.
>> Yeah, it is.
>> Well, you got 4.0.
You did it. Come on.
>> I told you I could do it.
>> I'm so proud of you.
I was hoping it would not come to this, but I'm in Professor Stanbury [music] camp. Here I come.
>> Damn, I'm going to have to make my first day.
>> Relax, everyone else. Probably it will be coming from the airport. We are fine.
It's not far from us.
>> Not with LA traffic. Hey, do you think I should bring my coat?
>> Your coat.
Where? Where is she going? What is happening?
The stomach. Then what?
>> We're coming with you. Silly.
>> What? [laughter] >> Since when? Big B. We even applied.
>> Blaz. I called the camp and told them that I was not comfortable you being alone and your sisters need to take along. I won't offer to pay them >> but I'm the one who appoints >> Raj your sisters are going with you and that final it will give them some confidence and it will give Lars something other to do than Instagram >> Instagram father Instagram >> yeah whatever >> it'll be like I'm not even there I promise >> I do my hair in the are [singing] all [singing] >> right. I think this is the place.
Oh, be careful, Lily.
>> Okay.
>> Oh, it was staying for a week. There's no stance for his house.
>> I got it.
>> Okay.
Caroline. Oh my god, this place. You're going to be living here in a week. Maybe I should sneak into your bag. I'm pretty flexible, you know.
>> Auntie, don't worry. I'll take lots of pictures for you.
>> Oh my gosh. Is that the limited edition Riley Rockstar bracelet?
>> See, somebody around here has good taste.
>> Yes, my dad bought it for me.
>> Hi, my name is Lily.
>> Hi, my name is Kelsey. Nice to meet you.
>> Hi, I'm Lars.
>> Hi, I'm Claire. I'm Raj.
>> Nice to meet you. Looks like our dad's having fun. He's probably bragging about my sister and I.
[music] Sorry I'm late. I'm Josh Sterling.
Caroline, look at your little friends.
Aren't you two the cutest?
And you.
I want to take you to my house and keep you there.
>> Don't mind her.
>> Introduce yourself.
>> Hi everyone. I'm Caroline.
>> And if this one gives you any trouble, Caroline's gonna call her aunt Barbara.
I thought you were in allowed cell phones. It's okay if your auntie says it's okay.
>> That's a bad idea. One of Professor Stanberry's rules. No phones, follow the rules, and no wishes.
>> Wishes?
You haven't heard about the wishing well?
There's a wishing well on the grounds. A legend through the years.
Walk up to it and whisper your deepest desires.
And they come true.
Sometimes good, sometimes bad, but they always come true.
[laughter] Welcome to my home. Come inside. Come.
>> [laughter] >> There's no need to introduce myself because if you're standing in my presence, you already know who I am.
This is the first day of my performing arts camp and the beginning of who you are forever. I've handpicked each of you.
Well, most of you. And I will not lie, this is one of the most rigorous training camps in the country. I've combined the methods of Stanlosski, Meisner, my father, and even my own method, which is worldrenown and has been proven to work. Now, I cannot waste my time with anyone who is not absolutely serious about this work. So, if anybody here wishes to not be here, raise your hand now.
Uh, I see we have a troublemaker. I'll have to keep my eye on you.
>> My man over there said no cell phones allowed.
>> The gentleman that took your luggage.
Yes, Earl the groundskeeper. There are no cell phones allowed. And you'll also find no cable and no Wi-Fi. Only resources and material for the actor and the actor's path.
>> How do I know that my kids are safe in the house?
My wife Rose [music] and Earl the groundskeeper will be supervising them all week when they're not in class. Good afternoon, darling.
How was your nap?
>> Magnificent, [music] darling. I see the new students are here.
>> Have you ever seen anyone so beautiful?
>> I hope you all enjoy your time here. I will make sure that you have everything you need [music] to be at your very best.
Isn't she wonderful?
>> Wait, so only you guys live [music] here and this big old house alone?
>> No, I don't think so. I saw >> uh my wife Rose will now take you to your rooms. I will see you later in class. It is going to be an unforgettable week.
>> That's right. Come now, kids. I will take you on a tour. Much to be done. Say your goodbyes.
Say goodbye to your parents. There we go.
>> Your schedule is as follows.
Breakfast will be in the parlor at 7:00 a.m. every morning. Make sure that no one is late. The professor doesn't tolerate lateness. Can anyone tell me why we need breakfast? [music] >> Because it's the most important meal of the day.
>> That's right, darling. But without energy, you cannot fully be emotionally ready to become your characters.
>> Well, that won't be a problem for me since I love to eat.
>> You will hear three loud chimes ring through the house. [music] This signals the start of your classes.
>> We're definitely going to explore this house. Maybe they have a pool. [music] >> You won't have any time to do anything but class. Trust me.
>> What about at night?
You're not to leave your rooms after dark.
And these rooms are off [music] limits.
Now, there are many rooms throughout the halls. Please remember, [music] do not enter into the ones that are not designated.
When can we see Michael? I have some questions.
>> You will see Michael during your classes and during your classes only. The professor is working on a new screenplay.
Ladies quarters, gentlemen's.
I suggest you freshen up and get ready for your first class.
Anything else?
>> What about the wishes?
>> Yeah, the wishes. The wishes >> said there was a wishing well where we could make our deepest wishes come true.
[laughter] >> There is no such thing.
I want you all to have a great experience. [music] Please don't listen to that nonsense from our own. We need to follow the professor's rules. We all do. He doesn't like it when rules are not followed.
Now, quickly, we wasted enough time.
Have an enriching stay in our home.
We're so happy to have you here with us.
>> Come on, Lily. Please.
King bed. You know why? Cuz I'm Trey Thomas.
>> So she's kind of interesting.
>> That's rude.
>> Oh, I I didn't mean >> I'm just messing with you. This family's been in this house for a long time. Like never leave time.
>> Well, he's a genius.
>> A mad genius. [snorts] >> I'm Trey.
>> Raj. So, what brings you here?
>> Let's not talk about that. Let's go check out that wishing well tonight. Me and Loudmouth over there are going.
>> What's his story?
>> You don't know?
That's Josh Sterling.
Son of a billionaire family.
He's been in the papers and stuff >> or what?
>> You know, rich stuff, divorce stuff.
Just life, man.
>> Anyways, you going to come later on or what?
>> I thought you weren't supposed to leave.
>> You think Stephen King followed the rules?
>> I love his movies.
Well, whatever. I hope he's amazing as everyone says.
I've got something to prove.
>> Grow up, Cals.
>> You fight a lot with your sister.
>> Well, she's not my real sister.
Well, she's not my blood sister. We were adopted.
>> That doesn't mean she's not your sister.
[music] I guess so. What about you? You like your siblings?
>> Yeah, for the most [music] part. Lily's pretty funny most of the time, and Raj is just really into this acting stuff.
>> And you're not?
>> Well, Lily and I didn't audition.
I want to be Instagram famous or a model. My dad made a deal with Stansbury that if Raj was going, we had to go as well. He thinks it'll help me find a better direction in my life, [music] like an accountant or a dentist.
>> Wow, he must be really important.
Apparently, guys, >> guys, come on. Class is starting.
>> Told you he was into it.
Is anybody else scared about what the professor said about it being the most difficult program in the whole world?
How hard can it be? It's just acting.
>> What is this craft?
What is this art? Self-expression.
Realism based on emotional memory. To achieve this, you must have discipline, transparency is key, vulnerability, emotional truth.
We must remove our exterior to find out what it is in us that is true [music] based on our experiences and sometimes substitution.
Ask yourself, what is this craft at its core? Is it our subconscious [music] mind that tells a story spontaneously?
No.
It is our emotional truthfulness, the core of the truth within us.
We must learn to be honest. We must learn to live in the character so that we don't exist anymore. Only the character and only the emotion is left.
Actors like Marlon Brando, Robert Dairo, Clint Eastwood, Mel Street, Vincent Price, they've achieved this level and you can too with determination.
What?
Ask yourself, what is it that you want?
What do you want?
>> Um, I want to be >> Quickly, no hesitation. What do you want?
>> To be rich and famous.
>> Okay.
What do you want?
>> To go to the NBA.
>> I'm not convinced.
What do you want?
normal life.
What do you want?
>> To record my first album. I want to be a famous Disney star.
>> Well, that is if I'm good enough.
>> Good enough for who?
>> What do you want? to be older and his best.
>> Well, you are excused, but hurry back.
>> What do you want?
>> I don't know.
>> Life does not wait for us. Claire, you must have direction here and here.
I want to act but I don't want to fail.
>> Then don't.
What do you want?
>> Oh, I'm just here. Don't bother with me.
Everybody wants something.
Young lady, if you're going to participate in this class, I will expect you to put full effort forth.
I'm on to you, young lady. I know what you're going to do before you say it.
>> What does that mean?
>> Maybe we'll find out.
What do you want? I want to be an actor.
>> You want to be what?
>> I want to be an actor.
>> Say it again.
>> I want to be an actor.
>> What do you want to be?
>> I want to be an actor.
>> I don't believe you. Make me believe you. What do you want to be?
>> I want to be an actor >> again.
>> I want to be an actor >> again.
>> I want to be an actor >> again.
>> I want to be an actor.
>> If you want to be an actor, you realize you will fail over and over. or you will be rejected. Life will spit you out into the street.
>> Now tell me, what do you want to be?
I want to be an actor.
Today we will work on fundamental exercises to release our inner emotional truth.
>> Are you okay? Those are some really intense things that he was saying to you in there. I could never.
>> I'm fine, Claire. He was just trying to help me.
>> He yelled at you in there.
>> No, he he was like, "How do I explain this?"
>> Okay, Glattus. I'm going to lie, darling. All right. See you later.
He >> He was trying to help me to get to that level.
>> I don't get it.
>> It's an actual thing.
>> Well, I'm just glad he skipped me.
>> Yeah, he skipped you for everything.
>> Guys, Professor Stanbury, he's like a genius, and we should listen to him. He is like the greatest artist in this world. What is it?
>> And perfection.
I'm going to find out.
>> No, I will. And I'm going to give Lily good talking, too.
Dad said I need to start being the man.
I'm going to my room, guys. I'll see you later.
>> Wait, aren't you coming to dinner?
>> No. Might grab a bite in my room. I'm not that hungry. I'm going to practice now.
Found it. How you doing, baby girl?
>> Auntie, you really shouldn't have done this. I could get in serious trouble.
Professor Stansberry doesn't like his horse being broken.
>> Professor Stansberry ain't my need. Did you have class yet? How was it?
>> It was fine. Actually, it was amazing. This is the life I want.
>> Okay, Halib Berry, just call me every night so I know you're okay in there.
And it's so lonely in the house right now. Who's going to cut the coupons while you're gone?
>> I'm going to be so rich and famous, you won't have to worry about that.
>> Well, all right then. Every night. Got it. I don't care if you got to sneak into the dang pantry.
>> All right, auntie. Bye.
>> Bye, baby girl. Love you.
>> Love you, too.
Mrs. Stanbury, I'm just heading off to bed.
>> You can call me Mrs. S. Most of the past students did. Were you in there with someone?
Sorry, >> I heard some voices and went to see if something was wrong.
>> Oh, I was just rehearsing.
Uh, the professor gave us these for tomorrow.
>> I used to prep in the bathroom all the time when I was younger. I still do.
It's been a while since my last performance.
>> I like to see my expressions in the mirror. You ever feel that way?
Especially when I didn't want anybody to hear what I was saying. I used to go in there all the time.
Oh, how I miss acting.
You know, preparation is key. Michael says we're all actors after all.
If you ladies need anything, I'm always here for you.
That stinks. I was sweating a little bit. Okay. I was a little nervous.
>> It was intense.
>> So, you're really into this acting stuff.
>> And you're not? You're pretty amazing out there today.
That's my way of expressing myself. A lot of people, including my father, think that basketball is the only thing I know how to do. But I got moves on and off the court. You know what I mean?
Yo, Josh, why you got to be like that?
All separated.
What's your story?
I I don't have a story.
Um, all right. Um, my family is rich. We got nice houses, cars. I went to the best schools, anything money can buy. Cool. But my folks don't even know I exist half the time.
And they're getting a divorce. I'm living the American dream. And that, folks, is my story. if you didn't see it on TMZ last week. Let's get out of here.
>> I thought I had the problems.
Let's go.
>> Where are you guys going?
>> To the wishing well Earl was telling us about. Are you sure you don't want to come? You could wish for some bomb curry chicken instead of that duck and peas they tried to feed us. Nah, >> I'm good for today. Be careful, you guys. Whatever, bro.
I'll catch you.
Nice. Oh, no. No.
Bingo.
>> All right.
>> Come on. Let's go, Josh.
>> Make this quick, man.
>> I know. I know. Okay. This has to be it.
I mean, look at it.
>> This is definitely it, man. But it >> doesn't look like it'll do anything to me.
>> Only one way to find out. You want to go first?
>> All right.
This is stupid. Josh, come on. Let me Watch out, bro. Let Come on. Let me do my thing.
>> Your thing.
>> Oh, got you. Okay. I wish I was the greatest player in the world. Yeah.
It's my wish. You're up.
>> [sighs] >> I wish wish my parents weren't getting a divorce to be hurt.
Oh man.
Feel any different?
This is stupid, man.
>> We tried.
Come on, bro. Let's get out of here. We should have wished for something else.
Like like something way better.
>> Pizza. Pizza would have been smacked.
>> Well, let's just hope we don't get caught.
>> These people are kind of crazy.
>> Yeah. Uh yo, I'm going to catch you later.
>> All right.
>> All right. I'll meet you back at the house.
>> Be careful, though.
>> All right. Well, >> what?
>> A whole basketball court. And they didn't tell me Trey Thomas.
Wow. Whatever. Still get that practice.
Oh, that's money time. Money time featuring Trey Thomas. Always hitting these baskets. Oh. Hey, splash. Hey.
Whoa. Hey.
[sighs] Well, should probably get back.
>> [sighs] >> What? Yo, what?
Dope.
Oh, yes.
Don't go out at night.
Okay.
Here we go. This one right here.
>> Oh, let's go.
>> NBA boy.
>> And the crowd yells. Trey Thomas.
>> Guess wishes really do come true. I'm in my own felt Yo, yo, stop.
>> Rush, what do you want?
>> Josh, >> please stop doing that. You're doing what? I was asleep.
>> No, no. I I saw you. Okay. I saw you.
>> I was in my bed this whole time.
>> No.
I I I'm sorry. I I see you've made your wish. One down, five to go.
Just like you, [music] mother.
I know, but I love him.
>> Rose, darling, what's the matter?
>> I thought you said we were not doing this again.
>> Doing what?
I'm working.
I'm helping young and [music] impressionable artists, and it's charging me. My writer's block is gone.
Isn't that great news?
>> That's what charges you that has me worried. It's like you're trying to replace something. I mean, the last thing that I want is for the police to start investigating. And >> Rose, please let us let us not talk of that. Okay.
This is this is a new beginning. I know my tactics aren't conventional, but they they get results. And what's wrong with me finding a protege? If it wasn't for me, my father's work would be lost. I'm finally finding a student with progress.
His mind is open. He his eagerness to learn. And he looks up to me, it's like the son I've always wanted.
>> You have a son, Michael.
Can we please talk about Eric and me getting back into my acting? Sh.
>> We will. Just let me do this first. So, be patient.
Be patient. Please.
>> Yes, dear.
I'll always be here for you.
>> Thank you.
Thank you, Rose.
Claire, someone's been up early.
>> Yeah, I heard something in the middle of the night. Did you?
>> No, I was getting my beauty sleep.
The boys aren't up yet?
>> I guess not.
>> Who do you think is key to us? Trey or Josh?
>> Look who's distracted already.
>> Are you okay, Josh?
>> You guys didn't notice what Raj was doing all night long.
>> What? Did you hear what I was hearing?
>> Your brother running around. Had me up all night.
I didn't hear anything.
>> Oh, that was our >> What did you say? You You heard it.
>> Tell me I'm not going crazy.
>> Morning. Have you guys seen Trey?
>> Oh, trying to change the subject. I don't appreciate you keeping me up all night running around in the hallway.
Whoa. Now I'm going to be horrible in class. Thanks a lot.
I was sleeping. You woke me up.
>> You're trying to sabotage me just cuz you had a little moment with Professor Stanberry yesterday.
You think you're better than me?
>> You don't talk for one whole day and then the first thing you do is accuse somebody of trying to sabotage you.
Where is this all coming from?
>> You know what? I don't need some stupid wish.
No one ever listens to me anymore.
>> What wish?
>> Nothing.
>> You guys better get going.
Lovely.
Where's Trey and Kelsey?
>> Kelsey was feeling under the weather and unfortunately Trey has decided to opt out of camp.
>> Kelsey never has said anything to me.
[gasps] >> You'll learn that this career, this profession, this life, it's not for everybody.
>> This doesn't make sense. You were just talking about being here was kind of cool. He wouldn't just leave.
>> Basketball is what his father wanted for him. And it was precisely basketball that Mr. Thomas chose. You'll find that other people here will probably throw in the towel as well.
>> But he he >> Enough enough.
The show must go on.
Now today we will learn misner technique. It is the art of repetitive phrasing. For instance, if Josh were to say to Lars, "I love you," and she said it back several times over and over and over and over, you will find that at the end, the meaning changes entirely. I will demonstrate with one of you now. Who wants to take the hot seat first?
Um Josh, you seem so talkative and expressive today. You'll go first.
Did you hear me?
>> Yeah.
Then come on down. Contestant number one. Give a round of applause, guys. Go ahead. Here we go.
Now repeat.
I am listening.
>> I am listening.
>> I am listening.
>> I am listening.
>> I am listening.
>> I'm listening.
>> I am listening.
>> I am I am listening.
>> I am listening.
>> I am listening.
>> I am listening.
>> I am listening.
>> You've done something. Trey, what did you do with him?
>> Judge.
>> Let him go. Every artist must have their own process.
>> Now, who's next? Contestant number two.
Come on down.
Cray.
Trey.
Cray. You in here?
TR Freddy.
Classes dismissed.
>> Josh never came back.
>> I would like to have both of you meet me in my office in 5 minutes. It'll only take a second. Claire, you too. What did we do? No.
Let your eyes dance across the room and focus on that painting. I was 12 when I drew that.
I think it looks like crap.
>> I know.
>> My father said the same thing. He was such a critic.
Was that's the thing about parents.
They don't last.
No one lasts forever. But do you know what is immortal?
>> What?
>> The work.
words on a page.
My father and I had such a lovehate relationship. He pushed me to be the best. And now look where I am. Look what I've done. His work survives through me.
And that is the most important thing that a child can give to his father.
I bet you didn't come here to explain a painting to us.
>> No, I wanted to talk about your sisters.
>> Our sisters?
>> Yes, your sisters. I think they're getting a little distracted.
>> Did anyone see us?
>> No.
>> I brought some candy for a new friend.
What?
>> They don't seem to be paying attention in class. Personally, I think they are not getting the most out of this experience.
>> Well, they are seven and 10 and you handpicked Kelsey. She would be devastated. Whether she's devastated or not, frankly, with all due respect, doesn't concern me.
Claire, you have been shining in class.
I don't want Kelsey's antics to get in the way of your progress.
>> Don't be scared. It's us.
>> None of the older kids will hang out with us. Here, I brought some candy.
>> Shh. You don't want to get caught, do you?
>> I've arranged for a pickup.
>> I understand.
>> You do?
>> Well, the lessons are a bit hard for them, don't you think? And they are a bit distracting.
>> If you say so.
>> I'm not scared of the professor. Wait.
But maybe I am just a little bit. So, I think we should just listen to what he has to say.
>> We'll be back tonight. Promise.
>> Okay. Please be careful. Oh, Kelsey, I heard you singing. You have really pretty voice.
>> Oh, thank you. I love it. I didn't know anyone could hear me. Bye. Bye.
>> Perfect. I've arranged for them to be picked up this evening.
>> What about Lars?
Can she stay?
>> Honestly, that's entirely up to her.
>> Whatever.
>> Whatever.
Don't play with me, little girl.
>> You don't scare me.
>> Perhaps I will.
This little meeting is adjourned.
You are dismissed.
That means go.
long.
>> No way.
>> It's the infamous pushing well.
>> Oh, was right.
>> No. No, I shouldn't.
Oh, >> forget it.
>> I wish I was Instagram famous. See if you can make that come true.
>> Well, that was stupid.
What are you doing, Mrs. Yes.
>> Just taking some boxes into storage.
Are you going to the bathroom to rehearse?
>> I didn't know you acted. I mean, you are pretty enough, too.
>> Let's not talk about it. Come with me.
>> Follow me this way.
>> Oh my god, this is so beautiful. I knew you'd find it up your alley.
You're not allowed to be in here, but since Michael is busy with his new screenplay, I'll make this one exception.
You know, you remind me a lot of when I was your age, wanting everything the world has to offer, following my dreams. It looks like you've still got it.
I got some of it, that's for sure.
>> How long have you and Michael been together?
>> 3 years. I've been living in this house for about that long.
>> And you have all these nice things.
>> Doesn't matter to me. At least I get to wear them. Michael has a plan and I will soon be acting in one of his brilliant screenplays. Feel free to rehearse in here, but only until Michael is done in his office.
I'd say you have about an hour.
>> Thank you so much, Mrs. S.
>> You're welcome, my dear.
>> And when you talk to your aunt next, please tell her we said hello.
>> Something isn't right here. Well, things are a little weird, but >> No, Claire, don't you feel it?
>> I feel like you're going a little crazy.
>> The way that Professor Stansberry was acting. It was as if he was threatening us.
>> Whoa, whoa, whoa. This is Professor Stansberry we're talking about, he invited us here. Why would anything be shady going down?
>> First of all, he didn't invite me here or Lily. That's why he's treating us so horribly.
>> I'm sorry, Lars. I'm just not sure I understand what you're getting at. Yes, he is odd, I'll admit. But >> and when him and Josh were sitting across from each other during those exercises, you didn't get the sense that something was off.
What's wrong with Josh? He's definitely acting weird.
He saw something. I can tell. We should find out.
>> No, I will. That's cuz I need to look after you both.
>> What?
Look who's all grown up.
>> See, Professor Sansbury said that you can leave anytime you want. And I really want to know what's going on here. Like, where's Trey? And why is Josh acting weird?
>> Lo, I think everyone is just a little sleepdeprived and exhausted from talking about our feelings and repeating the same lines all day.
She's just mad that she's not at some modeling camp or not taking her followers.
At least we got to make a wish.
>> What?
>> Yeah. Lily and I walked around in the beginning while the professor was talking and we know where it is.
>> Oh, what's over there?
>> Wait, Lily, slow down.
>> Whoa.
What did that guy say outside?
>> The professor? No, no, that creepy guy.
>> Oh, he he said to make a wish when you find a spot >> and then it has like double the chance of coming true.
>> Exactly.
>> H What should we wish for?
>> I know. I want to be a famous singer and perform in front of thousands of people.
>> I got it. Close your eyes.
>> I wish that me and Kelsey can make another friend in the house.
Did it work? Let's just see. Come on, let's go.
And it came true.
What does that even mean?
>> We found a friend behind the door.
>> What?
There's no one here.
>> No, I promise there was.
>> Yeah, there was. Oh, yeah. What's their name?
>> We're not lying.
>> Okay, guys. Let's just get out of here.
>> What are you guys doing? I'm very disappointed in you all. I give you a couple of rules, and one is to stay away from this room.
to bed. All of you.
Caroline, I really expected more from you.
>> I'm sorry, Mrs. S.
Just wanted to say bye before I left.
Don't you want to make a wish?
>> How would the wishes again?
>> But Raj, you can wish for anything you want and it will come true. It did for me.
>> No, it didn't. We checked the room yesterday and there was no one in there.
And now because of you, we got into trouble.
>> Raj, you never listen to me.
[sighs] >> Really? I'm just trying to get to the end of this camp.
And you and your sidekick always gets into my way.
>> That's not true. And what's the sidekit anyways?
You guys should just stick with playing dolls and coloring.
I'll see you at home, Lily.
>> Hey, Josh. I'll miss you.
>> I believe you.
Come on, Lily. Let's go.
>> Hey, girls. I'm here to take you to meet your parents.
So, I'll get your bags.
>> Oh, okay.
Just following instructions.
[laughter] Well, come on. Oh, let's get a move on.
Come on.
>> Where are we going? [screaming] >> Back to the secret room. Eric is real.
What are you >> doing? Get back here. Professor wouldn't like that.
>> Where's the breakfast?
>> Not sure. Are we in punishment?
I wonder where Lars is. I didn't see it this morning. She must already be downstairs. All right, let's just go to class.
>> You're late.
>> We didn't even get breakfast. I thought it was the most important meal of the day.
>> There are some things that are more important than food. Now, let's get to work. Hey, where's Lars? Who's picked up with your sisters last night? She left.
It was very unfortunate. Apparently, Instagram is more important to her. She wouldn't have done that. She would never leave Raj alone anywhere.
>> Well, she didn't want to be here anyways.
>> Josh, what do you think?
>> There are rules in this house that need to be abided by, and if you break them, you will be forcibly removed. In this case, [music] they voluntarily left.
Rose called their parents last night and they came and picked them up.
>> That's right.
>> End of [music] story.
>> Well, can we call our parents? No. It's against the rules.
Please, just to make sure [music] they're okay.
You know how important this work is. The outside world cannot know about this work.
However, she did leave a note. Can you see it?
>> I'll do it.
>> Well, if reading a note is more [music] important than the work, I suppose we'll leave, Rose.
Starling.
>> Dear Raj, I've decided to go home with the girls. Oh, and Ka says she'll take good care of her Rebecca Rock's bracelet she gave her. So, don't worry about us.
It seems real to me.
What's wrong?
>> Name of the bracelet I bought her is Riley [music] Rocks, not Rebecca Rocks.
My sister wouldn't forget that. The note is fake.
>> Let's not jump into conclusions.
>> I'm not the one who can't see what's happening around here. Lars [music] was right. You're obsessed with this guy, Raj. He's not our family. He's not anybody. He's a bully and is crazy.
>> He's clearly a liar.
>> You're wrong. He's a genius.
>> We got to go look for them. And we look for them tonight. Those in favor, raise your hand.
>> I'm sorry. We're going to find them.
Raj, you can stay here, but something's wrong.
>> Hey, auntie. Yeah, some stuff has been happening.
>> What you mean? Like good things, bad things?
>> It's hard to tell right now. Some of the kids have left the camp.
>> They left?
>> Yeah.
>> Well, do you want to go? Cuz if you want to go, you know, I'm hopping in my car right now.
>> No, no, no, no. It's okay. I think I'll be fine. There's a couple of things left for me to do.
>> Well, sweetie, you just say the word.
I'll hightail it over there. Plane, train, bus, my feet. I'll get there. I love you.
>> All right, auntie. I love you, too.
>> Whoa, you guys really leaving?
>> Yeah, right after we find the others.
>> What? Why? Doors are locked. How are you going to get out?
>> Raj, what do you mean? Why? Look, everything is weird. It's like everyone is gone. Well, sure there's a key.
Children, who's ready for class? It's time to rehearse.
We will reenact what happened when the boy defied his father. He fell from the window. [laughter] Splat. Splat went the boy cuz THE BOY WENT SPLAT.
>> I'll help you guys out, but I can't leave just yet.
>> Let's go.
>> Rehearsal [screaming] is up.
This is it.
This is what was talking about.
The wishing world. This has been my dream for quite some time. All I want is to be rich and famous.
Let's check the secret door first.
>> We checked it yesterday.
>> What was that?
Maybe it's one of the girls.
>> Or maybe it's one of his dance going to kick us out of this amazing camp because we're not following his rules.
Hopefully.
>> Caroline.
Caroline.
Caroline.
Gosh, come on. Hurry up.
>> No. Why are you even doing this?
>> Trust me, I know what I'm doing.
>> Claire, no.
>> Lily, help me. We're coming in.
>> No, don't.
>> Hello.
>> AND THIS IS WHY I GO INSANE. Actor's disappointing me again.
>> What's going on?
This is Detective Costa.
Can you slow down?
You said a house with with some kids.
They're at a camp.
They can't have any cell phones.
Ma'am, is anyone hurt or in need of medical attention?
What did you say your name was?
Yes, ma'am. Yes, ma'am. I can hear you.
Barbara. Aunt Barbara.
Well, it's not unusual that a camp doesn't want the kids to take their cell phones. They're probably having a great time.
I totally understand.
Your niece is missing.
How long has she been missing? She's at a camp. How old is she? What is her name? When is she supposed to be home?
What's the address? [music] Yes, I know the place. Well, Barbara, it isn't long enough to file a report, but you have my word that I'll go and check it out. If I have any more questions, I'll give you a call back.
This girl Hey, Chief. You remember that incident about two years ago?
The one at the big white house? The home where the little girl drowned at?
I just got a strange call about it.
Okay, thanks, [music] Chief. I'll keep you updated.
Michael, what are you up to this time?
What are your names?
Don't be scared. I'm not going to hurt you. Unless you're scared of paint.
There you go.
Who are you? And what are you doing here? [music] >> My name is Eric. I am Professor Stanbury's son.
>> But why are you in here? And Professor [music] Stanbury never mentioned about his well you.
>> Well, to answer your first question, this is my room. And to answer your second question, he doesn't tell anybody.
You did all of this by yourself.
>> Yeah, I love painting.
>> But you've been here this whole time.
Why weren't you here yesterday? Well, maybe for the last 2 years, but yeah.
Oh, dad moved my stuff just for the day.
Sometimes he does that when a new group comes like you guys.
>> A new group?
>> Why are you in here? Do Do you like it here?
>> Do I like being locked up in my own room? Only coming out at night? I feel like there's only one answer to that question. At least I can paint.
Oh, and Rose, she's not my mom. She just takes care of me. I'm adopted since I was 2 years old.
>> I know the feeling.
>> Well, I'm glad you're not too worried about being trapped in here. But you see, we're trying to find our friends and sisters. Have you seen them?
>> Well, I haven't seen them, but I have heard them.
>> You heard their friend?
>> And I was running around one night and I think I really scared this other kid. It was pretty funny.
>> Aren't they here?
Are the others here?
>> Not sure. My dad gets pretty mad. He doesn't like anyone to disobey the rules. He can't just leave. The gates are locked.
>> Great. So, there's no way out. How are we supposed to get out of here?
>> Yeah, I know how to get out.
Has this ever worked before? No. But have you ever tried it before?
>> No. But there's enough of us now to tackle him. I'd love that.
>> Eric, are you okay? I hurt you.
>> No. I think I really hurt my ankle.
>> Look, it's over here. D. It's very, very small. There's a little bruise there.
>> There's nothing wrong with that kid.
Nothing wrong with that kid.
>> No. Look down here.
>> There's nothing wrong with it. What's going on? What the What are you pulling, kid?
>> Eric, what about you?
>> I'll be fine. He can't touch me or I tell my father.
>> He knows my father can be. I'll be right behind you.
>> Get you, >> Eric.
>> I'm still here.
>> The professor wouldn't like this.
>> Eric, open the door.
Kelsey, are you okay? Ros.
>> Ros, we were so scared. It's so good to see you guys.
>> What took you guys so long?
>> Sorry. We were trying to find you.
>> Are you okay? We got to go. We got to go. We got to go. We got HURRY UP BEFORE STAN before Professor Stanberry. What?
Why did you do this? Why did you do this to your own son?
Don't you see?
You are my son. My new son.
You are the son I've always wanted.
>> I believed in you. I I thought you were the greatest person in this world. Who says I'm not?
>> Me.
I I wish I wish I never came here. HAVE YOU FORGOTTEN WHY YOU CAME HERE? I SAW IT IN YOUR FACE WHEN YOU WALKED through those doors.
You want to be an actor.
Am I wrong?
Are you like everyone else and want to go make a wish?
>> What are you talking about?
>> Let me tell you a story about a father and his son. The father loved his son so much. He gave him everything. His knowledge, his training, his heart, gifts, prepared meals, the world on a platter, and all under one condition.
that the son would be an actor and a writer like his father.
And the son loved it and he loved it for years. And the father and the son worked together hand in hand. And he became one of the greatest child [music] actors the world has ever seen. And then one day his son walked up to him, looked him dead in the face and said, "I don't want to be an actor. I don't want your dreams.
years of training, of life wasted. What a shame. So, if you want to get out of here and save your friends, then you're going to have to do what you came here for, and that is act.
Or you can take your chances with the wish.
>> It's over. Over.
>> Fine. Then we can sit here and wait for your parents to come. I'LL TELL THEM EVERYTHING. YOU TELL THEM NOTHING.
I'll tell them what is what, and they will believe me. I am Michael Stanberry, and you are a 14-year-old boy.
If you try and accuse me, I will ruin your future.
>> They will believe me. [laughter] Why would they believe you? Because I am a great actor.
>> THEN SHOW ME. If you show me you're truly a great actor, I will let you go.
Recite for me a monologue.
It doesn't matter what. Improv from the heart. I don't care. Just as long as you act and make me believe it.
My mother and I, we used to watch old movies.
Not just any old movies, but the ones which showed in black and white.
One day I asked her, "Where's the color?"
And she said, "Don't you see? in the eyes of the actors, in the sound of their voices.
It's in the way they move through the screen.
The next day, I watched the movie again, seeking for every detail, every expression, every line, even though it was black and white.
I saw color.
That was the first time I knew I wanted to be an actor.
It was the last time I watched a movie with her.
So you can keep me as your verge. You can throw me up on stage. You can make me recite every line. But it will never be for you. It will only be for my mother.
>> Bravo, Raj.
Bravo.
>> Now hold up. your end of the deal.
>> No, I can't.
>> What?
>> I have to keep you here.
>> But you promise.
You have to understand.
Here, you can inspire Eric. I'll train you.
>> Michael, go. Rash. He won't stay down for long.
>> Why are you helping me?
>> No one deserves to be locked up in this room more than Michael.
and Raj, I'm proud of you. You don't need any wishes to get where you're going in life.
>> Thank you, Mrs. S.
>> Now go, >> Rose. What are you doing?
>> NO, MICHAEL, YOU HAVE a son. Son who loves you. He just wants to go out into the world and explore. I don't >> have time to talk about this. Did you see that performance?
That's the son I've always wanted. I have to keep him in this house. My wish has come true. I have a protege.
>> No, Michael. He's a brilliant painter and he just wants to please you. Don't you understand?
>> He wanted to please me. He wouldn't define me at every chance he gets. To not follow in my footsteps. It's a slap in my face.
And you, you are my beautiful muse. I look upon you and I'm inspired. You never disappoint me, Rose. That is why I love you.
>> Do not defy me again.
>> I won't get to hurt that.
>> ROSE, COME BACK HERE. [screaming] >> DON'T BETRAY ME. ROSE. ROSE, >> go back.
>> Come on, guys. Let's get out of here.
Wait, did I get the box?
>> I don't know. Is Raj okay?
>> No. No. We have to go. We have to Raj.
Everyone get to the gate.
>> We have to go. We have to go. Um, call dad. I'll be back. I have to do something first.
>> What? Kate, let's go.
>> Let's go. Go. Go. Go. Go. Go.
>> Rose. Eric. Sweetie, are you okay?
>> Raj, thank you for giving him a chance to get out of here.
>> Aren't you coming with us?
>> I think I'll stay behind for a bit longer. There's something special in this house that I can't leave.
>> And Dad, your father is locked inside and he's still my husband and I love him very much. And he's writing a brilliant new screenplay for me to start.
Would you like to stay, Raj?
>> No, I just want to go home. Do you know where Caroline is?
>> Caroline is locked in this house. I I I think she made a wish. There's no time now. You have to go.
>> What about Eric? You have your family and this is mine. Father doesn't treat me bad. We just need to stand up to him and we'll be okay.
>> Are you sure?
>> I'll be fine. I'll go.
>> Goodbye, Eric.
>> Goodbye, Raj.
>> Are you guys okay?
That was something else. Thanks to you, decided to keep acting and playing basketball.
>> You have?
>> Yeah. Might as well do something I'm good at, Raj. I mean, after all this, I'll have plenty more emotions to pull my material from.
All right, I'll catch you, Raj.
>> Hey, dude. Hi, miss.
>> Dad. Dad.
>> Are you okay? God saved us. Oh yeah, >> they're going in for Professor Stanbury and to find everyone.
>> Raj, I never been so proud in my entire life. And if your mother would have been here, she would have been in tears of joy. Give me a hug. So proud of you, my son.
>> I guess I need to call my mom and dad first. But can I talk to Raj for a second?
>> Oh, of course. You're poor, dear.
>> Hey.
>> Hey. We like saved all of us in there.
>> We saved each other.
>> Are you going back home after this or?
>> Um, I might grab a bite. Um, let's see sometime soon.
>> Sure. Sounds good.
>> Is everyone all right? It looks like you guys beat us to it. How many of you guys are in there?
>> We were eight when we came. Now we have been missing two. It's Josh Sterling and Caroline. Our teacher was Professor Michael Sansbury and his [music] wife Rose.
>> The house is completely empty. Are you guys sure no one else is in there?
>> Mrs. Stansbury isn't in there. What about Josh? I liked him. He was nice to us.
>> There's always some weird stuff going on at this Sunnyfield Lane house. I'm just glad you guys are okay and no accidents happened like 2 years ago. They said a girl swam herself to death. Maybe after we do the full investigation, we can tear this place down and all this wishing well legend stuff will lay to rest. Let's get some statements and get these kids back to their parents.
To my dearest Raj, I hope you're well. I truly believe that you are suited for this world of acting. [music] You have passed my final test amongst all the others. I'm beyond filled with gratification. I've enclosed my recommendation letter that will take you far on your journey. In the meantime, I have gone away for a while with Eric, Rose, Earl, and my new family. We will come back and we will meet once more.
Here's my key.
Who knows, you will may perform one of our masterpieces.
Professor Michael Dansbury. [music] So many times I think I got to [music] the end. In the bridge between the fences I peed so long now I speak in tong stitches witches [music] I know you live itches when I'm only inches away stitches witches is where my [music] heartes when I'm thinking about the days I got [music] stitches from all you wishes But I wouldn't say them say [music] the least. Now would I want to make a list?
