00:01:30Derek, it's Jake. I'm parked at the corner of 3rd and Main. I'm going out on foot patrol.
00:01:35I don't know, Jake. It's a pretty rough neighborhood. Lots of little old ladies who know how to swing a purse.
00:01:41Very funny.
00:01:41Hello?
00:02:06Hello? Hello?
00:02:10Anybody there?
00:02:19Walter?
00:02:36Walter? Oh, Walter. Come on. What are you doing out here?
00:02:42Oh, they kicked me out of the motel.
00:02:45Well, you can't stay here, Walter.
00:02:46What am I going to do? Come on.
00:02:54You can stay in the jail tonight. And tomorrow you've got to find a place to live. You can't live in an alley.
00:03:10All right. Thanks, Jake. Thanks.
00:03:14All right. Okay, come on. Can you get up? Yeah.
00:03:22Come on, put your arm on here. That's it.
00:03:25George, what are you doing out here?
00:03:35George, what are you doing out here?
00:03:37Laurie is having nightmares again, so I stayed up to keep her company.
00:03:40Again, huh?
00:03:42I was hoping those were over. Children have nightmares.
00:03:49Yeah, but not like this. It's been three years. It started when Jenny. It's been hard on all of us. I miss my daughter, too.
00:04:04You know, I appreciate everything you've done, but I can get some help in here. I'll give you a break. Don't worry about me. Don't worry about your kids. Only every day.
00:04:28Daddy. Oh, honey, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to wake you.
00:04:32Monsters are great.
00:04:35Well, I promise we're going to do something about those monsters.
00:04:41Can you sleep here? Please?
00:04:45Okay, I'm going to check on Brandon, then I'll come back and sit with you for a while.
00:04:50And if those monsters come around, I'll arrest them.
00:04:53You can't arrest monsters. Everybody knows that.
00:04:57Brandon, why aren't you in bed?
00:05:07I'm not tired.
00:05:09It's a school night. Turn off the computer, get to bed.
00:05:14Brandon.
00:05:16Listen, I thought maybe Saturday we'd go down to the park and throw the ball around a bit. What do you think?
00:05:31Well, whatever.
00:05:36Okay, we'll talk about it tomorrow.
00:05:41Come on, for real.
00:05:56I'm tired.
00:05:58I'll make you a deal.
00:06:01I'll trade you your dream monsters for a real one.
00:06:04What do you mean?
00:06:06Never mind.
00:06:07The Grey Lady.
00:06:18What?
00:06:19I just saw the Grey Lady.
00:06:22Where?
00:06:23In the window, up there.
00:06:25There.
00:06:29You didn't see anything.
00:06:30She was there.
00:06:33You're just imagining it.
00:06:35Just like you imagine all your other monsters.
00:06:37It was her.
00:06:38The ghost of Grey helps.
00:06:42Whatever.
00:06:43Come on.
00:06:44We're going to be late.
00:06:46But I really did see her.
00:06:48Wait!
00:06:55Mr.
00:07:13Dr. Good morning, Derek.
00:07:14What are you doing here so early?
00:07:16My job.
00:07:17Is something going on?
00:07:18No.
00:07:20I didn't think so.
00:07:21I'm, uh, I'm heading out.
00:07:23Cruising the streets of Middleton.
00:07:24That should take all of ten minutes.
00:07:26Well, I can't sit around here all day like you do.
00:07:28Don't knock until you've tried it.
00:07:36Hi, Martha.
00:07:37This is Tinsden.
00:07:39Keith Russell.
00:07:40Martha, good morning.
00:07:42What can I do for you today?
00:07:43I am astounded that you let that drunken Walter Cobb out of jail.
00:07:47I just saw him leave here and stumble down the street.
00:07:50Now, it's your responsibility to keep our streets safe.
00:07:54Okay, I'll have a talk with him.
00:07:55You need to do more than talk.
00:07:59Anything else?
00:08:02There's a rumor going around that someone is occupying Grey House.
00:08:06Grey House?
00:08:07Who would want to live there?
00:08:09Probably some little old lady with 15 cats.
00:08:12Several members of the Citizens League have reported strange smells coming from the place.
00:08:17Smells?
00:08:18What kind of smells?
00:08:19Chemical.
00:08:20Smells, which makes me wonder if someone hasn't set up a drug lab.
00:08:24A drug lab?
00:08:28In Middleton?
00:08:30You need to check on it.
00:08:31I will.
00:08:33I'll check on it right away.
00:08:34Good.
00:08:35I'll meet you there.
00:08:36No, you don't have to do that.
00:08:37Chief Russell, as chairperson of the Citizens League, it is my responsibility to keep apprised
00:08:42of all developments in our community.
00:08:43You're right.
00:08:46I'll see you there.
00:08:49Nosey old bat.
00:08:50I think she wants to be mayor more than her husband.
00:08:52More like emperor.
00:08:53Come on, Laurie.
00:09:01Come on, Laurie.
00:09:01Come on, Laurie.
00:09:13Okay.
00:09:14Okay, get up.
00:09:15Okay, come on.
00:09:15Come on.
00:09:17I'm sure it's nothing, but just stay behind me.
00:09:33Gladly.
00:09:36Seems pretty quiet.
00:09:37Mrs. Perkins saw a light switch off last night.
00:09:56Police department.
00:10:02Hello?
00:10:03Hello?
00:10:07Hello?
00:10:15Hello?
00:10:25Anybody back there?
00:10:33Welcome.
00:10:37Your name, please.
00:10:43Cassandra Nightingale.
00:10:45Do you, uh...
00:10:46Do you reside on these premises?
00:10:48I live here, if that's what you mean.
00:10:50You own Greyhouse?
00:10:52Greyhouse?
00:10:53This residence.
00:10:55Is that what you call it?
00:10:56Greyhouse?
00:10:57Hmm.
00:10:57Yeah, I like the vibe.
00:10:59This property's yours.
00:11:00Well, that's what it says on the deed.
00:11:02I didn't realize that anyone had moved in.
00:11:04It's been empty for such a long, long time.
00:11:08Ma'am, I'm very sorry for walking into your home.
00:11:12Miss.
00:11:14Miss.
00:11:16Uh, I'm Chief Russell of the Middleton Police Department.
00:11:21No, this is, um...
00:11:23Mrs. Martha Tinstaff.
00:11:25Nice to meet you.
00:11:26So you'll be living here by yourself?
00:11:28Oh, no.
00:11:29No, I have Isis.
00:11:32Isis?
00:11:33Isis is your cat?
00:11:36Uh, not exactly.
00:11:37It's, uh, more of a mutual admiration society.
00:11:41Yeah, uh, yesterday, downtown.
00:11:44Was that you that I saw walking into the alley?
00:11:47Chief Russell,
00:11:48how would I know what you saw yesterday?
00:11:51Only you know what you saw yesterday.
00:11:56As the new owner,
00:11:57what are your plans for the property?
00:11:59Oh, I'm not a planner, Mrs. Tinsdale.
00:12:01Well, I assume demolition and then new construction.
00:12:05Oh, I think it has character.
00:12:07Character?
00:12:08I see the beauty beneath the surface.
00:12:12Miss Nightingale, this community has standards.
00:12:16I can sense that.
00:12:18Martha.
00:12:20Martha.
00:12:21Martha.
00:12:21Martha.
00:12:22Martha.
00:12:23Martha.
00:12:24Martha.
00:12:25Martha.
00:12:26Martha.
00:12:27Martha.
00:12:28Martha.
00:12:29I did see the gray lady this morning.
00:12:41You've got to believe me.
00:12:42I believe you.
00:12:43Whatever.
00:12:44No, you don't.
00:12:45You're just saying that.
00:12:46Just drop it, will you?
00:12:48What happened to the dog?
00:13:00What happened to the dog?
00:13:00Come on,
00:13:12it's not a bug.
00:13:13It was not aPleaseler.
00:13:14It was a shame.
00:13:15Yeah.
00:13:25Come on,
00:13:28There you are!
00:13:31Come on!
00:13:45Okay!
00:13:46Okay!
00:13:47Here I come!
00:13:57Here I come!
00:14:00Come on!
00:14:03Come on!
00:14:05Here I come!
00:14:07Help!
00:14:09It's coming!
00:14:11Come on!
00:14:13Come on!
00:14:15Come on!
00:14:33Hey, listen.
00:14:35Now I know you're a good dog.
00:14:37It's your master that's the beast.
00:14:41Now I want you to go home and stop scaring those children half to death.
00:14:44And I don't want to see that kind of behavior again.
00:14:47All right?
00:14:49Now go on.
00:14:50Go.
00:14:54How did you do that?
00:14:57I've always had a way with the fur people.
00:15:00I'm Cassie.
00:15:02Cassie Nightingale.
00:15:03I'm Brandon.
00:15:04This is Lori.
00:15:05You two all right?
00:15:07Uh-oh.
00:15:08We better put something on that.
00:15:09Why don't you come inside?
00:15:10You live here?
00:15:11That's right.
00:15:12But...
00:15:13This is Greyhouse.
00:15:14Don't you know it's haunted?
00:15:15So I hear.
00:15:16But surely you two brave children aren't afraid of some little old ghost.
00:15:21Told you I saw someone.
00:15:22Uh-oh.
00:15:23Uh-oh.
00:15:24Uh-oh.
00:15:25Well, you'll have to excuse the mess.
00:15:26I haven't had time yet.
00:15:27Uh-oh.
00:15:28Uh-oh.
00:15:29Uh-oh.
00:15:30Uh-oh.
00:15:31Uh-oh.
00:15:32Uh-oh.
00:15:33Uh-oh.
00:15:35Uh-oh.
00:15:36Uh-oh.
00:15:37Uh-oh.
00:15:38Uh-oh.
00:15:39Uh-oh.
00:15:40Uh-oh.
00:15:43Uh-oh.
00:15:44Uh-oh.
00:15:49Uh-oh.
00:15:50Uh-oh.
00:15:52Well, you'll have to excuse the mess.
00:15:53I haven't had time to do much cleaning.
00:15:56Come on.
00:15:57Uh-oh.
00:16:03Why don't you sit down?
00:16:31Okay.
00:16:32What did you whisper to that dog?
00:16:35I told him it was very bad manners to eat children.
00:16:45These are special healing herbs, my own recipe.
00:16:48They'll fix you up in no time.
00:16:59There you go.
00:17:00Good as new.
00:17:04You smell like jasmine.
00:17:06It's my mother's perfume.
00:17:08Well, I can see why she likes it.
00:17:13Do you like some gingerbread?
00:17:16Gingerbread's fresh out of the oven.
00:17:17Isis, calm down.
00:17:27That big dog went home.
00:17:30Here you go.
00:17:31Uh, we've, uh, gotta be going.
00:17:34Um, thanks for your help.
00:17:40Come back and visit.
00:17:41Anytime.
00:17:45Come on.
00:17:46Hurry.
00:17:47Good afternoon.
00:17:58What?
00:17:59Black with sugar.
00:18:01Did I guess right?
00:18:04Yeah.
00:18:04Thanks.
00:18:05And I hope you like turkey.
00:18:11Why are you doing this?
00:18:14You look like you skipped breakfast.
00:18:17I don't need your help, lady.
00:18:19No, but I need your help.
00:18:21Can't move boxes on an empty stomach.
00:18:23Let me know when you're ready.
00:18:25Hey, Jake.
00:18:48Wait a minute.
00:18:49Hey, Rusty.
00:18:50Jake, look.
00:18:52Just look at him.
00:18:53He's ruined.
00:18:54What, Attila?
00:18:55What's wrong with him?
00:18:55He don't bark.
00:18:56He won't growl no more.
00:18:57He just sits there with his nose under his paws.
00:19:02It's a bad thing?
00:19:03She did this.
00:19:04Who?
00:19:05That witchy woman over in Greyhouse.
00:19:07She did something to my boy.
00:19:08Miss Nightingale?
00:19:09She did something unnatural.
00:19:11Oh, come on.
00:19:11You can't be serious.
00:19:12I'm dead serious, and I want to file a complaint.
00:19:17Okay, I'll look into it.
00:19:18You just watch her back, or that witch will take the bark out of you, too.
00:19:23She's a witch.
00:19:35Witches don't exist.
00:19:37But she can do magic.
00:19:38Magic doesn't exist either.
00:19:41Maybe she's the Grey Lady.
00:19:43Lori, you're driving me crazy.
00:19:45Why don't you just leave me alone, okay?
00:19:47Lori?
00:19:51Lori.
00:20:01Not so fast.
00:20:02Where is it?
00:20:04I don't have any money today.
00:20:06My grandpa packed my lunch.
00:20:07Let me see.
00:20:08I guess I'll just have to take this instead.
00:20:18Tomorrow, tell your grandpa you want money instead of this crap.
00:20:22If you don't, you're not the only one who's going to get hurt.
00:20:26What do you mean?
00:20:28It'd be a shame if anything happened to your little sister.
00:20:31You leave her alone!
00:20:32Grandpa.
00:20:55Hey, Brandon.
00:20:56You used to boss, right?
00:20:59A long, long time ago.
00:21:02Can you...
00:21:03Can you teach me how to fight?
00:21:06What do you want to learn how to do that for?
00:21:08Well, I just want to be able to take care of myself.
00:21:12Well, I wouldn't make much of a sparring partner.
00:21:16Why don't you ask your father?
00:21:20Is something wrong?
00:21:21Just forget about it.
00:21:33She's Russell.
00:21:34Hello.
00:21:36Did you come to deliver those community standards?
00:21:38Oh.
00:21:39I have to understand.
00:21:40Mrs. Tinsdale.
00:21:41She tends to get a little passionate about things.
00:21:45Passion is good.
00:21:47Come on in.
00:21:51Uh, watch the boxes.
00:21:58Uh, would you like some herb tea?
00:22:00It's my own special blend.
00:22:01Uh...
00:22:02Who's that?
00:22:06Ah, the infamous gray lady.
00:22:08She was here when I arrived.
00:22:09She looks like you.
00:22:12Do I look that cracked and faded?
00:22:15Oh.
00:22:15Listen, the reason I'm on here is about this, uh, disturbance with the Doberman.
00:22:23Oh, that.
00:22:24Well, don't blame the dog.
00:22:26I mean, he's just unhappy being chained up all day.
00:22:28Well, no one's blaming the dog.
00:22:31The owner's blaming you.
00:22:33He's thinking of pressing charges.
00:22:35Rusty, the owner, claims that you changed his dog somehow.
00:22:39Well, yeah, I did.
00:22:42Oh.
00:22:43Well, I had a talk with him.
00:22:45Well, you talked with Rusty?
00:22:47No, with the dog.
00:22:50What exactly did you say?
00:22:52Well, I told him he was a good dog and that his master was a beast.
00:22:58But, of course, I didn't want the children to hear, so I whispered.
00:23:00Children?
00:23:00Yeah, the dog got loose and chased them into my yard.
00:23:03Okay, so Attila was on your property.
00:23:05That's right.
00:23:06Okay, Rusty didn't tell me that.
00:23:07The little girl, Lori, scraped her knee, so I treated it.
00:23:10Lori?
00:23:12Did she have a brother named Brandon?
00:23:14You know him?
00:23:16Yeah, I know them.
00:23:18They're my kids.
00:23:22They didn't tell me about this.
00:23:25Well, they probably didn't want it on their police record.
00:23:28I'm sure they told their mom.
00:23:32No.
00:23:33No, their mom, uh, their mom died three years ago.
00:23:39Oh, I'm so sorry.
00:23:43They're wonderful kids.
00:23:46I know.
00:23:47Thanks.
00:23:49Would you like that tea now?
00:23:50Or coffee?
00:23:51Because I know that cops drink coffee and donuts.
00:23:55Dozens of them.
00:23:56Yeah.
00:23:56They also wear those big dark glasses, so nobody knows what we're thinking.
00:23:59All right.
00:24:04Oh, maybe some other time.
00:24:06Okay.
00:24:07Thanks.
00:24:07Sure.
00:24:11Drop by anytime, neighbor.
00:24:13Or come see my new shop.
00:24:14Shop?
00:24:15Yeah, I'm opening a small shop on 3rd and Main.
00:24:18When?
00:24:19Uh, what's today?
00:24:20Tuesday.
00:24:21A week from tomorrow.
00:24:23My ad's in the paper.
00:24:24Well, you're taking on a lot.
00:24:25I like a challenge.
00:24:31Well?
00:24:31I'll see you later.
00:24:33Jake Russell?
00:24:34Jake.
00:24:35Call me Jake.
00:24:36Everybody calls me Jake.
00:24:38You know what?
00:24:38I guess it's lucky that's your name.
00:24:40What's the trick?
00:24:56A trick.
00:24:58Bye.
00:25:07Bye.
00:25:07Bye.
00:25:08Bye.
00:25:09How's it going?
00:25:29It's tense.
00:25:31I'm just as intense as being chased by a dog over at Greyhouse.
00:25:37Did you want to tell me about that?
00:25:39Not really.
00:25:46So I hear you want to learn how to fight.
00:25:48It's nothing.
00:25:51Is somebody bothering you?
00:25:54Just forget about it.
00:25:56If you've got a problem with somebody, you know you can talk to me about it.
00:26:06Okay, well, when you're ready to talk, I'm here for you, okay?
00:26:09Do you want to hide from me, dweeb?
00:26:34I'll hand it over.
00:26:44Did they solve it?
00:26:45It's everything.
00:26:46Good.
00:26:48See you tomorrow, you little creep.
00:26:49Bell, book, candle.
00:27:17Jake, good morning.
00:27:36Look at this place.
00:27:39This was vacant.
00:27:40It was boarded up.
00:27:41Yeah, I've been working on the inside since I got here.
00:27:43But still.
00:27:45Well, if you make up your mind you want something, all the obstacles seem to vanish.
00:27:51Got a lot of interesting things.
00:27:53Now all I need are customers.
00:27:56Herbs?
00:27:57Oh, they're all perfectly legal, officer.
00:27:59You're not under investigation.
00:28:04I like the masks.
00:28:06Thanks.
00:28:07They're from my travels.
00:28:10Travel a lot?
00:28:11Life's a journey, not a destination.
00:28:15I travel a lot.
00:28:16I mean, my parents moved around a lot.
00:28:20I'm an army brat.
00:28:21So I swore when I get married, I'm going to stay in one place just for the kids.
00:28:27Hmm.
00:28:28It's not every dad that gives his daughter a big hug before he leaves for work.
00:28:32Did she tell you that?
00:28:33No, Jasmine.
00:28:34Your daughter loves to pour it on.
00:28:36Oh, man.
00:28:36I can't even smell it.
00:28:37Oh, really?
00:28:38Oh, it's a beautiful scent.
00:28:40It's my wife's favorite.
00:28:42Y'all must miss her very much.
00:28:44Here.
00:28:45Um, take a whiff of this.
00:28:51Whoa.
00:28:52That'll clear your sinuses.
00:28:54Yeah, it'll do a lot more than that.
00:28:58How much?
00:28:59Five dollars.
00:29:00Satisfaction guaranteed.
00:29:02It's a bargain.
00:29:04No, my first customer.
00:29:07Thanks.
00:29:08Well, good luck with the shop, Miss Nightingale.
00:29:15Cassie.
00:29:18Cassie.
00:29:19Mm-hmm.
00:29:22Cassie.
00:29:33And on your left is Greyhouse.
00:29:35So named because its original owner, Elizabeth Merrowick, was fond of wearing grey.
00:29:40Now, as you can see, the house has suffered from decades of neglect.
00:29:43Another example of Middleton's motto, looking to the future, building on the past.
00:29:49Woo, moving right along.
00:29:51Oh, maybe they'd like to hear the legend of the Grey Lady.
00:29:53Yes, yes, yes.
00:29:54Just a local legend.
00:29:56Uh, popular with schoolchildren and the deluded.
00:29:59Apparently, she married some sailor who hoisted anchor and then left her to languish and perish nearly a century.
00:30:05There you go.
00:30:05It's a depressing story.
00:30:07His name was Captain Charles Hamlin.
00:30:10Splendid in his naval uniform.
00:30:12It was love at first sight.
00:30:14They spent two passionate months together.
00:30:17Until he was called to duty, never to return.
00:30:20But every night for 28 years, Elizabeth kept a light burning in the window.
00:30:25Until one night, the light went out.
00:30:28And Elizabeth was found dead of a broken heart.
00:30:33Anyway, that's one version.
00:30:35Hello, Mrs. Tinsdale.
00:30:36And hi, everyone.
00:30:37I'm Cassie Nightingale, owner of Grey House.
00:30:42Oh, would you like to come inside for a tour?
00:30:44We're on a very tight schedule.
00:30:47Well, the invitation's open anytime.
00:30:49And if you'd like, you can stop by my new shop on Main, the bell, book, and candle.
00:30:53New shop?
00:30:53What do you sell?
00:30:55Infinite possibilities.
00:30:58And moving right along.
00:31:00Come along, ladies.
00:31:03That was wonderful, Nancy.
00:31:11Hello, Lori.
00:31:13Sorry, I didn't mean to scare you.
00:31:16Uh, I'm not scared.
00:31:18How's your knee doing?
00:31:21It's all better.
00:31:22The dog's not bothering you anymore, is he?
00:31:24No.
00:31:27Can you...
00:31:29Can I what?
00:31:32Can you do something about monsters?
00:31:35Are monsters bothering you, Lori?
00:31:37Can you make them go away?
00:31:39Like you made the dog go away?
00:31:41Hmm.
00:31:42When are they bothering you?
00:31:44At night.
00:31:45I see.
00:31:46Hmm.
00:31:46Monsters are a bit trickier than dogs.
00:31:50They really can't hurt you, but they make you think they can.
00:31:53I have something inside that might help.
00:32:00Do you know what this is?
00:32:03It's called a dream catcher.
00:32:04This is a special one, blessed by a Lakota shaman.
00:32:07The webbing catches bad dreams before they reach you,
00:32:10letting good dreams pass through and trickle down the feathers.
00:32:14You need to hang this over your bed.
00:32:15Maybe your father can help you do it.
00:32:17My grandpa will do it.
00:32:18Your grandpa?
00:32:19He helps take care of us.
00:32:20He's lived with us since.
00:32:25Well, after you put this over your bed,
00:32:27I need you to do something very important.
00:32:31Here.
00:32:31You mustn't, under any circumstances, dream of bunnies tonight.
00:32:39Bunnies?
00:32:39That's right.
00:32:40I can't emphasize this enough.
00:32:42You must not dream about soft, furry, cute little bunny rabbits.
00:32:47But how can I not dream about bunnies?
00:32:49I can't control my dreams.
00:32:51Just say to yourself over and over,
00:32:53I will not dream of bunnies.
00:32:54I will not dream of bunnies.
00:32:56Bunnies, stay away.
00:32:59I will not dream of bunnies.
00:33:01That's it.
00:33:01I will not dream of bunnies.
00:33:03Now you're getting it.
00:33:04Just keep saying that.
00:33:05I will not dream of bunnies.
00:33:07I will not dream of bunnies.
00:33:09Cassie.
00:33:23Jake.
00:33:24Hey, I just wanted to say thank you for helping with the dog.
00:33:27Oh, what's this?
00:33:28They are almond cookies dipped in milk chocolate.
00:33:31They're called Harvest Moons.
00:33:33Hi, I'm Derek Sanders.
00:33:35I'm the other half of the Middleton Police Force.
00:33:37Hello, Derek.
00:33:37Cassie Nightingale.
00:33:39Cookie?
00:33:40Thanks.
00:33:45Sweet.
00:33:46An old family recipe.
00:33:47Always cooking up something.
00:33:49So how's the shop?
00:33:51Ah, still slow.
00:33:53Even with the ad.
00:33:56Well, I should probably get going,
00:33:59because you never know when a busload of cosmic seekers
00:34:01might stop by town.
00:34:02Well, give it time.
00:34:03People just need to get to know you.
00:34:05Yeah, and I want to get to know them.
00:34:06Enjoy.
00:34:07Okay.
00:34:09Enjoy.
00:34:13Cassie.
00:34:16You, uh, you didn't have to bake cookies.
00:34:19Oh, I was more than happy to clear up that little disagreement with the dog.
00:34:22What is with this door?
00:34:26You have a magic touch?
00:34:35Depends what I'm trying to open.
00:34:39Take some of those home for your kids, huh?
00:34:40Yeah, I'll hide you from Derek until I'm off duty.
00:34:43Don't wait too long.
00:34:45The best when they're warm.
00:34:46That's the witch I've been hearing about?
00:34:56She's different.
00:34:59She's different, all right.
00:35:01Hi.
00:35:20Hello.
00:35:22Can I help you find something?
00:35:23I'm just looking, thank you.
00:35:25Oh, you were with the group.
00:35:27Yeah, that's right.
00:35:28I'm Nancy.
00:35:29Nancy Perkins.
00:35:30Cassie Nightingale.
00:35:31Hi.
00:35:32I work just a few doors down at the travel agency.
00:35:34Oh, pleasure to meet you.
00:35:35Who are those ladies, anyway?
00:35:37Business people, mostly, from out of town.
00:35:40Like me.
00:35:43Martha has a vision for Middleton.
00:35:46The town's been struggling ever since the plant closed.
00:35:48So she's a visionary.
00:35:52These are wonderful.
00:35:54Essential oils and flower essences.
00:35:56Business, I'm very much into aeropl therapy.
00:35:58Huh.
00:36:00This one smells like cinnamon buns?
00:36:04Yeah, that's an aphrodisiac.
00:36:07It's my own little mixture.
00:36:13You're joking.
00:36:15Oh, no.
00:36:16You put a few drops on your husband's collar before dinner time,
00:36:18and by dessert, he's primed and ready to go, shall we say.
00:36:22Does, I mean, does it really work?
00:36:25Why don't you give it a shot?
00:36:26If it doesn't, give her your money back.
00:36:28Oh, no, no.
00:36:29I, I, I don't need it.
00:36:30Well, I'm not suggesting you do.
00:36:32Just consider it a fun little experiment.
00:36:36Oh, uh, okay.
00:36:40Great.
00:36:40It's five dollars.
00:36:42Now, to get the full effect,
00:36:46you should put a few drops into some candles
00:36:47and have them burning at the dinner table.
00:36:49Do you have children?
00:36:51No.
00:36:52We tried, but...
00:36:54Oh, well, then you won't have to worry about
00:36:55sending them off to grandma's.
00:36:58Let me know how things turn out.
00:36:59I will.
00:37:08Martha.
00:37:10Afternoon, Nancy.
00:37:12Ah, what have we here?
00:37:14I just, uh, little something for my home.
00:37:20Mrs. Tinsdale, please, come on in.
00:37:23Excuse me.
00:37:26I was just hearing about your revitalization plans.
00:37:30Middleton's a special place,
00:37:32and it attracts a special sort of person.
00:37:35Well, thank you.
00:37:35I love it here.
00:37:38This town has a gracious kind of beauty,
00:37:41and we work very, very hard to keep it that way.
00:37:44We hold tight to our traditions here in Middleton.
00:37:48Sometimes if you hold on too tight to what you have,
00:37:51you end up choking it.
00:37:52Is there something in particular you're looking for?
00:37:59What are these?
00:38:00Oh, Celtic symbols from the Old World.
00:38:03Very fashionable.
00:38:04They look like symbols used in witchcraft.
00:38:06I don't like what I see here, Miss Nightingale.
00:38:08It's a magnet.
00:38:11You touch it to your forehead.
00:38:14It aligns your polarities, clarifies your vision.
00:38:19I have an optometrist, Miss Nightingale.
00:38:22Now, this is said to bring inner peace.
00:38:36Miss Nightingale, are you all right?
00:38:38Let go of me.
00:38:40I have had it up to here with your masks.
00:38:56Well, what brings you home so early?
00:38:58Cookies.
00:39:00Nice.
00:39:02Hey.
00:39:02Go ahead.
00:39:05Take two.
00:39:10Daddy!
00:39:10Hiya, honey.
00:39:15Cookies.
00:39:15Can I have one?
00:39:17You just brushed your teeth.
00:39:19No, go ahead.
00:39:22But brush them again after.
00:39:26And you should go to O'Malley's tonight.
00:39:29Come on.
00:39:30Honey used to love to go down there and sing me old songs.
00:39:33Yeah, I think I'm just going to head to bed.
00:39:37You feeling all right?
00:39:40Yeah, I'm fine.
00:39:41Just a little tired.
00:39:43I'll see you in the morning.
00:39:49I will not dream of bunnies.
00:39:51What?
00:39:52I will not dream of bunnies.
00:39:55Okay.
00:39:58Where did you get this?
00:39:59Cassie gave it to me.
00:40:01It's a dream catcher.
00:40:02It catches the bad dreams and only lets the good dreams get through.
00:40:05When did you see Miss Nightingale?
00:40:07Today.
00:40:08I went over to the Greyhouse all by myself.
00:40:10She's really nice, Daddy.
00:40:12Honey, you shouldn't bother her.
00:40:14She's got things to do.
00:40:19Okay.
00:40:20Good night.
00:40:21Good night, Daddy.
00:40:22I will not dream of bunnies.
00:40:32I will not dream of bunnies.
00:40:48Martha?
00:40:48Why aren't you on duty?
00:40:50We changed the schedule.
00:40:53Well, I visited her little shop of horrors today, and when I politely suggested that some of
00:40:58her merchandise might not be appropriate for Middleton, she pushed me over a display.
00:41:03You can't be serious.
00:41:04I want you to arrest Cassie Nightingale.
00:41:14Walter?
00:41:16Jake?
00:41:16What are you doing here?
00:41:18Mr. Cobb used to build houses.
00:41:20He knows wiring, plumbing, woodwork.
00:41:22He knows it all.
00:41:23He's helping me fix the place up.
00:41:24Well, fair exchange for food and a place to stay.
00:41:26Good night, folks.
00:41:32He's a godsend.
00:41:34Of course, I believe the right people always show up when you need them most.
00:41:36I didn't recognize him.
00:41:38Well, I almost didn't recognize you without your gun and badge.
00:41:42I'm afraid this isn't a social call.
00:41:44Oh?
00:41:46Cassie, was there an incident today at your shop with Mrs. Tinsdale?
00:41:50She did take a tumble over one of my displays.
00:41:54Hope she's all right.
00:41:55Well, it depends on your definition of all right.
00:41:58She wants to file assault charges.
00:42:01Assault?
00:42:03Yes.
00:42:08Cassie, Martha's the mayor's wife.
00:42:09You know, she could cause real trouble for you.
00:42:12So what should I do?
00:42:14Well, you might have to come down to the station and make a statement.
00:42:17You might.
00:42:18Until then, try not to worry.
00:42:22Tell me some good news, then.
00:42:24Hmm.
00:42:25I got home early tonight.
00:42:27With the cookies.
00:42:29Yeah, what'd they think?
00:42:30Lori was very happy.
00:42:33She liked the cookies, too.
00:42:36I'd hide that wine with Walter around.
00:42:39Oh, I'm not worried about Walter.
00:42:41You are very trusting.
00:42:44I'll take that as a compliment.
00:42:48Oh, you need any help?
00:42:57No, I got it.
00:43:00Looks good.
00:43:02Morning, Dad.
00:43:04Hey, honey.
00:43:05How'd you sleep last night?
00:43:06I didn't hear a sound.
00:43:09What?
00:43:09What's the matter?
00:43:10I dreamed about bunnies all night long.
00:43:14Bunnies?
00:43:15You were everywhere.
00:43:16Not monsters?
00:43:19There were no monsters.
00:43:21So that's good, right?
00:43:22She did it.
00:43:23She really did it.
00:43:24She made the monsters go away.
00:43:26You mean that dream catcher thingy really works?
00:43:29It's true.
00:43:30She's a witch.
00:43:31A real, live witch.
00:43:33A witch?
00:43:34But she's a good witch.
00:43:35Okay, we'll get ready for school.
00:43:42No more monsters!
00:43:45You know this woman, our new neighbor down the street?
00:43:49Oh, yeah.
00:43:51Oh, yeah.
00:43:52Yeah.
00:43:52Oh, yeah.
00:44:07Oh, yeah.
00:44:10Oh, no.
00:44:13Oh, mm-pp.
00:44:14Oh.
00:44:22Hey, Brandon.
00:44:33How can I help you?
00:44:36You got rid of Lauren's monsters.
00:44:39I'm glad to hear they're gone, but
00:44:40Lori got rid of them by herself.
00:44:43But you can do magic, right?
00:44:45Well, everybody can do magic, Brandon.
00:44:48I need something big.
00:44:50Like what?
00:44:52I need someone turned into a frog.
00:44:56Permanently?
00:44:58At least to the end of the school year.
00:45:01Well, how about a goat instead?
00:45:05See, contrary to popular belief,
00:45:07it's hard to shrink someone down to the size of a frog.
00:45:10You can hardly do that?
00:45:11Who is this person, anyway?
00:45:13His name's Kyle.
00:45:15He's a bully.
00:45:17You told anyone?
00:45:19No.
00:45:19No.
00:45:20Warn me not to.
00:45:21I see.
00:45:23So then, uh, this goat frog thing is flexible as long as he's turned into something less
00:45:30threatened.
00:45:31Yeah, I guess.
00:45:33Well, it's not gonna be easy.
00:45:34I'm gonna need your help.
00:45:35My help?
00:45:36In order for this to work, I need you to do four things.
00:45:41First, you must keep this crystal with you.
00:45:48Second, go to Kyle's home and remain there for at least five minutes.
00:45:53Third, you have to introduce Kyle to your father.
00:45:55And finally, Kyle must touch this crystal, and you need to return it to me.
00:46:03What?
00:46:05How am I supposed to do all that?
00:46:07I don't know.
00:46:08I don't make the rules.
00:46:10I realize it's gonna take some courage.
00:46:17Okay.
00:46:19I'll try.
00:46:21I'll be waiting for the crystal.
00:46:22Mr. Mayor, I was just about to call you.
00:46:40Can you charge her?
00:46:42Mr. Mayor, there's not enough evidence to support Martha's allegation.
00:46:46It's her word against Miss Nightingale's.
00:46:48Martha's not gonna be too happy to hear this.
00:46:50And when Martha's not happy, I'm not happy.
00:46:54Well, I can't change the facts.
00:46:56I want you to find out everything you can about this Cassandra Nightingale.
00:47:00The ownership of Grey House has always been murky.
00:47:05Now that developers are interested in the property,
00:47:07she arrives one day out of the blue with the deed.
00:47:10You don't find that a little suspicious?
00:47:12It's unusual.
00:47:14Jake, this is a critical time for this town.
00:47:18We want Middleton to appeal to new investors.

00:54:30from well I'm from all over how far back do you want to go are you born October 24th 19 uh Jake
00:54:41you don't ask a lady questions like that your name's not Cassandra Nightingale is it
00:54:52it is my name you're so good at getting everyone else to open up why can't you
00:55:04my parents were performers
00:55:10traveled all over Europe it was a magical time
00:55:16they died in a car crash outside Zurich and I was sent to a foster family back in the U.S.
00:55:26must have been hard
00:55:30they were so strict they killed the magic
00:55:35so I ran away and I made sure that no one would ever find me again
00:55:40and you've been running ever since
00:55:44not running experiencing new places
00:55:49like Middleton
00:55:52hey if you like new places there's this French restaurant it's on Route 20
00:56:04and no you've been to Europe you probably think this is terrific
00:56:09yeah Friday 7 7 7 20 yeah that way I'll pretend it's 7 and I'll be there on time
00:56:20okay okay good yeah all right thanks bye I mean see you then
00:56:33she is scaring away every last hope this community has of attracting investors her black magic shop is a dagger through the heart of our lovely business district
00:57:00now if the police won't do anything about it then we as citizens must take action
00:57:06Martha
00:57:07don't you think you're judging Miss Nightingale just a little harshly
00:57:11these are the dark arts that she's practicing and selling right under our noses
00:57:20you know Nancy perhaps you could better understand the gravity of the situation if you too had children to protect
00:57:28oh my own two sons Dylan and Michael tell me that at school they call her the witch woman and for very good reason
00:57:38good reason she makes strange potions she converses with animals and she
00:57:45has that drunken Walter Cobb living under the same roof with her
00:57:49now is this really the sort of thing that we want here in Middleton
00:57:53good then let's show her exactly how we feel
00:58:02I just wanted to meet the lady who's the talk of my household
00:58:20I'm George Oh Hatterhand

00:58:47now how did you know I'm from the old sod
00:58:51was it the name O'Henry or my devilish good looks

00:58:56my grandfather was a county clear man
00:59:00lived a stone's throw from the cliffs of Boer
00:59:03I always wanted to stand on those cliffs
00:59:06oh why don't you

00:59:15and then we really couldn't afford it
00:59:17and then
00:59:19there's always a sensible reason
00:59:23oh George never do the sensible thing

01:05:38I don't believe it.
01:05:47Shouldn't you be getting ready? Don't you have a dinner date?
01:05:50I'll change the plans.
01:05:52But you're still gonna see her?
01:05:55Oh, yeah, I don't think so.
01:05:58Look, Jake, it's time you moved on with your life.
01:06:02It's time we all did.
01:06:04Well, I just think with everything that's going on in the community, it's just not...
01:06:08Stop making excuses.
01:06:11When there's a full moon overhead.
01:06:14Kyad me Celtic. Kyad me Celtic.
01:06:16Walk in a Celtic way.
01:06:19What does that mean?
01:06:21Sometimes you really get my Irish up. You know that?
01:06:25You still wanna go for dinner?
01:06:42Well, I thought we decided...
01:06:44You know, I decided that I don't care what people think.
01:06:47Well, in that case, won't you come in?
01:06:55I think I have the perfect solution.
01:06:58Why don't we dine in?
01:07:00Well, I don't want you to have to cook.
01:07:02Oh, no. I love to cook. Haven't you noticed?
01:07:04I'm always cooking.
01:07:17Look at this.
01:07:19Well, you really treat Walter well.
01:07:21No, Walter's out for the evening.
01:07:23Oh.
01:07:25Well, I was hoping you might stop by.
01:07:30How could you know?
01:07:32Sometimes you just have to believe and take a chance.
01:07:36You ready to take a chance, Jake?
01:07:39I think I already have.
01:07:45Why don't you open the wine, and I will get the first course.
01:07:49Sue Ellen Brock.
01:08:03What?
01:08:04You wanted to know my name, the one my parents gave me.
01:08:07Oh.
01:08:08So do you want me to call you Sue?
01:08:10No.
01:08:11Good.
01:08:12Oh, uh, you seem more like a Cassandra to me.
01:08:16Definitely a Nightingale.
01:08:21You like to be a mystery, don't you?
01:08:23A little mystery keeps things interesting.
01:08:28I'm interested.
01:08:30I know a few facts, but I don't know you that well.
01:08:34I'd like to.
01:08:35Oh, no, no. It's your turn.
01:08:37Tell me something about you that I don't know.
01:08:39Okay. Let's see.
01:08:41When I was 13, I broke into the bell tower
01:08:44and I replaced the cassette.
01:08:46And at noon, when chimes were supposed to play,
01:08:48the whole town heard my tape of Led Zeppelin's
01:08:50Whole Lotta Love.
01:08:51Oh, I'm telling the police.
01:08:53And after a life of crime running on the lam,
01:08:56I decided I got to clean up my act.
01:09:01That's when I decided to bring Jenny and the...
01:09:04Jenny and the kids here.
01:09:07That was the plan.
01:09:10But plans change.
01:09:15So how did you get here?
01:09:20She brought me here.
01:09:23Jake, I'm the great-great-granddaughter
01:09:26and sole surviving heir of Elizabeth Merriwick,
01:09:30the Grey Lady.
01:09:31It's left of her family's finally come home.
01:09:38Through the Grey Lady.
01:09:46When I found out I had property here in Middleton,
01:09:48I, um, I took it as a sign to come here and settle down.
01:09:52And since you got here, you've had nothing but trouble.
01:09:54Well, no, that's not all true.
01:09:56Cassie, the city council meeting's the day after Halloween.
01:10:00It's really blowing up to be a storm.
01:10:02Oh, but I love storms.
01:10:06Somehow that doesn't surprise me.
01:10:09All right, no more about that.
01:10:11Not tonight.
01:10:13You're perfume's nice.
01:10:17Hmm.
01:10:18You noticed.
01:10:20I like it.
01:10:22It worked.
01:10:28You always seem to give people exactly what they need.
01:10:36What do you need?
01:10:38What do I need?
01:10:41A home?
01:10:44You have a home.
01:10:46A home is more than a house, Jake.
01:10:49It's one place where people will accept me as I am.
01:10:53You'd be surprised how hard that's been for me to find.
01:11:00You're so beautiful.
01:11:11Midnight.
01:11:13My favorite time of day.
01:11:23No.
01:11:48Trick or treat.
01:11:49Oh, I love you for my favorite.
01:11:54Thank you. Bye.
01:12:12Do I really have to wear this?
01:12:14You need to get into the spirit of things.
01:12:16Get in touch with your inner child.
01:12:18My inner child is about to have a tantrum.
01:12:21What about you? I mean, what are you going to wear?
01:12:23Don't you recognize the gray lady?
01:12:28Oh, trick-or-treaters, go away through it.
01:12:34And remember, double treats to anyone brave enough to trick-or-treat at Greyhouse.
01:12:41Trick-or-treat!
01:12:43Why are you scurvy scabbywax?
01:12:48I'll walk you off the plank at the point of me sword and feed you to the sharks.
01:12:52I'll crush your bones into powder and I'll use them as cannon to fire.
01:12:59Okay, that's a little too realistic.
01:13:01Um, yeah.
01:13:02Come in, come in.
01:13:06Oh, and what are you supposed to be?
01:13:08A witch.
01:13:10She insisted.
01:13:12Don't you know witches aren't very popular around here?
01:13:14I don't care. I want to be a witch when I grow up.
01:13:17Oh, my.
01:13:20Oh, uh, Jake's running a little late.
01:13:25I know who you are.
01:13:26You're the great lady.
01:13:28Yes, and I've come to haunt the party.
01:13:30Ooh.
01:13:38So, did you tell your friends at school?
01:13:40How many do you think will come?
01:13:42Uh, I don't think anybody's gonna come.
01:13:46Why not?
01:13:47Well, they wanted to, but their parents wouldn't let them.
01:13:54I see.
01:13:55Well, uh, I hope you're hungry, because we have plenty of treats.
01:14:00Cassie?
01:14:01Yes, Lori?
01:14:02Now that I've gotten rid of the monsters, how do I get rid of the bunnies?
01:14:06I warned you not to dream about them.
01:14:08I couldn't help it.
01:14:09Well, the only way to get rid of dream bunnies
01:14:12is to have them chased by dream puppies.
01:14:16Puppies?
01:14:17Wiggling, face-licking puppies.
01:14:19Oh, no.
01:14:21I will not dream of puppies.
01:14:22I will not dream of puppies.
01:14:24I will not dream of puppies.
01:14:35I'll get it.
01:14:39Oh.
01:14:44Nancy.
01:14:45I heard there was a party.
01:14:46Yes, come in.
01:14:48Cassie, this is my husband.
01:14:50Bill?
01:14:51Pleasure to meet you.
01:14:52Nice to meet you.
01:14:53I have some incredible news.
01:14:55I'm pregnant.
01:14:57Yes!
01:14:58That's so wonderful!
01:14:59I still can't believe it.
01:15:00We've been trying for so long.
01:15:01We've given up hope.
01:15:03I'm so happy for you.
01:15:04I love you.
01:15:05I love you.
01:15:06I love you, too.
01:15:08Oh.
01:15:10Uh, guys.
01:15:12Oh.
01:15:13Party's that way.
01:15:14Sorry.
01:15:15Honey, why don't you head on in?
01:15:16Be right there.
01:15:17Don't be long.
01:15:18I'll miss you.
01:15:21Did you have anything to do with this?
01:15:23Well, I've been accused of a lot of things, but not getting someone pregnant.
01:15:28I think, I think maybe your husband was the culprit.
01:15:30Yeah, but my doctor was so pessimistic.
01:15:32Oh, well, sometimes it's just a matter of relaxing and letting nature find a way.
01:15:36So, it wasn't magic?
01:15:40Oh, it's most definitely magic.
01:15:43How are my pirates?
01:15:44Hi, George.
01:15:45Here it is.
01:15:46Your itinerary for Ireland.
01:15:47It should be quite a trip.
01:15:48To the cliffs or more.
01:15:49Oh, tiny question.
01:15:50Why did you insist I book you a flight during a full moon?
01:16:05Uh, better runway visibility.
01:16:09Yeah.
01:16:10You too.
01:16:11I don't know.
01:16:13I need to go.
01:16:14I need to go.
01:16:15This will show her.
01:16:32Come on.
01:16:44No.
01:16:46No.
01:16:47Come on.
01:16:49No, come on.
01:16:51Ah!
01:16:53Ah!
01:16:55Ah!
01:16:57Ah!
01:16:59Ah!
01:17:01Ah!
01:17:03Ah!
01:17:05Ah!
01:17:07Ah!
01:17:09Ah!
01:17:11Ah!
01:17:13Ah!
01:17:15Ah!
01:17:17Brace!
01:17:19Stop!
01:17:21Trick-or-treat, babe.
01:17:23Kyle!
01:17:25Ah!
01:17:27You didn't think you could get rid of me that easy.
01:17:29I thought you two might want to catch up.
01:17:33Thanks, Dad.
01:17:35So where's the party?
01:17:37Oh, in here.
01:17:39Ah!
01:17:41I thought you two might want to catch up.
01:17:43Thanks, Dad.
01:17:45So where's the party?
01:17:47Oh, in here.
01:17:49Oh, in here.
01:17:55Everyone?
01:17:56This is my friend, Kyle.
01:17:57Kyle?
01:17:58This is everyone.
01:17:59Hi.
01:18:00Hey, Kyle.
01:18:03Thanks, Brandon.
01:18:07Nachos.
01:18:10Jake.
01:18:11Sorry I'm late.
01:18:12Sorry I'm late.
01:18:15Where's your costume?
01:18:17Oh, I'm pretending to be a police chief.
01:18:20I don't think I'm fooling anyone.
01:18:25Here.
01:18:27I don't need this anymore.
01:18:30And...
01:18:32cancel the goat.
01:18:34Gotcha.
01:18:35Not the biggest turnout.
01:18:39Well, at least it's the people that matter the most.
01:18:46I think we need more candles, Jake.
01:18:47Will you help me?
01:18:48Sure.
01:18:49Okay.
01:18:50Where are they?
01:18:51Uh, there should be some on the top shelf.
01:19:05These do?
01:19:06Yeah, those are fine.
01:19:07Um...
01:19:17There's something I have to tell you.
01:19:22Thanks to Martha and her minions, with the city council meeting tomorrow, I mean, let's face it, they're gonna win.
01:19:29You've got friends.
01:19:30We'll stand up for you.
01:19:31No, that's not enough.
01:19:33So what are you saying?
01:19:37I'll have to close the business.
01:19:39No, Cassie.
01:19:40I don't have a choice.
01:19:41Well, what will you do?
01:19:44I'll have to sell Greyhouse.
01:19:46I'm sure the city would make an offer just to get rid of me.
01:19:48No, you said getting that deed was a good sign.
01:19:50Well, maybe I misread the sign.
01:19:53Look, I think I have to move on.
01:19:55No!
01:19:56You can't leave.
01:19:58Laurie.
01:20:01Just use your powers to change their mind.
01:20:04I think you have the wrong idea about me.
01:20:07You're a witch.
01:20:09Laurie.
01:20:10Who says I'm a witch?
01:20:13You do magic.
01:20:15I don't want you to go.
01:20:17Well, I don't think I have a choice.
01:20:21You peer out of nowhere and then disappear just as fast?
01:20:25I need a moment with Cassie.
01:20:35Jake, the situation is what it is.
01:20:37I'm just being a realist.
01:20:38You, of all people, should appreciate that.
01:20:41You've been running so long you don't know how to stop.
01:20:43I want to stop.
01:20:46I want to stop.
01:20:50I want to stay.
01:20:54But I'm afraid.
01:20:56Well, you've got to find some of that courage that you've given to so many of us.
01:21:00Jake, it's Derek. Over.
01:21:04Fuck.
01:21:05Go ahead, Derek.
01:21:07Cassie's shop's been vandalized.
01:21:08I caught the boys who did it.
01:21:09You better get down here.
01:21:11I'm on my way.
01:21:16Derek?
01:21:18Michael and Dylan?
01:21:19Yeah.
01:21:20I caught them red-handed.
01:21:21They did a real job on your shop.
01:21:22Did you call, uh...
01:21:23Oh, yeah.
01:21:24I don't believe it, man.
01:21:25You know how much trouble you two are in?
01:21:26You're the one who's going to be in trouble.
01:21:27Once my dad gets here.
01:21:28Yeah.
01:21:29Oh, you poor thing, sweetie.
01:21:31Put in the bathroom.
01:21:32You're the one who's going to be in trouble.
01:21:33Once my dad gets here.
01:21:34Yeah.
01:21:36Oh, you poor thing, sweetie.
01:21:37Put in the back of a squad car like common criminals?
01:21:38That's right, Martha.
01:21:39Well, what are they doing here?
01:21:40They're going to be booked,
01:21:41and then they'll go in front of a judge in juvenile court.
01:21:42You can't do that.
01:21:43They broke the law.
01:21:44They vandalized Cassie's shop.
01:21:45Oh, you're the one who's going to be in trouble.
01:21:46Oh, yeah.
01:21:47I don't believe it.
01:21:48You know how much trouble you two are in?
01:21:49You're the one who's going to be in trouble.
01:21:50Once my dad gets here.
01:21:51Yeah.
01:21:52Oh, you poor thing, sweetie.
01:21:53Put in the back of a squad car like common criminals?
01:21:56That's right, Martha.
01:21:57Well, what are they doing here?
01:21:58They're going to be booked,
01:21:59and then they'll go in front of a judge in juvenile court.
01:22:02You can't do that.
01:22:03They broke the law.
01:22:04They vandalized Cassie's shop.
01:22:06Tom, do something.
01:22:08Don't let him do this.
01:22:09Now, surely we can work something out.
01:22:11I'm sorry, Mr. Mayor, for you and your boys.
01:22:14Now, Jake, stop a minute and think.
01:22:18You know and I know what it means if you go through with this.
01:22:21Yeah, I know what this means.
01:22:22I know exactly what it means.
01:22:23Miss Nightingale didn't do anything wrong.
01:22:25Your boys did.
01:22:26Because someone put in their heads that everyone in this town
01:22:30needs to act the same and look the same.
01:22:33But Cassie's different.
01:22:36And we're all the better for it.
01:22:39Are you going to let him talk to you that way?
01:22:42You don't belong here.
01:22:43Just get on your broomstick and get out.
01:22:45Okay, Derek, put these two in a cell.
01:22:49We need a little quiet time to think about what they've done wrong.
01:22:51Tom!
01:22:52Wait a minute.
01:22:53I'm not pressing charges.
01:22:56You don't have to protect me, Cassie.
01:22:58No, it's about the boys.
01:23:00I don't want their lives ruined over this.
01:23:02Just let them go, Jake.
01:23:03It made up my mind.
01:23:05You two boys go wait in my car.
01:23:13Well, none of this would have happened
01:23:15if it weren't for that vile shop of yours.
01:23:17The sooner that we're rid of it, the better.
01:23:19Martha, this crazy vendetta of yours has turned our two boys
01:23:23into a couple of juvenile delinquents, and it stops here.
01:23:27Miss Nightingale, I'm equally at fault in all of this.
01:23:32I apologize.
01:23:33My boys are going back to your shop and fix the damage.
01:23:35What?
01:23:36And fix the damage they've done.
01:23:38Mrs. Tinsdale and I will pay you for any additional damages.
01:23:41But, Tom.
01:23:42Not another word.
01:24:01You know, you could be the next mayor.
01:24:03Of course, there is a residency law.
01:24:04You'd have to stick around for a couple years.
01:24:06I don't want to be the mayor.
01:24:07I just want...
01:24:09A real home.
01:24:11The people who love you for who you are.
01:24:16Like me.
01:24:18You cast quite a spell, Chief Russell.
01:24:21Does that mean you're staying?
01:24:31That's it.
01:24:32Let's get this stuff done.
01:24:33Good job.
01:24:34Do you have an extension for it?
01:24:35Oh, yeah.
01:24:36That's right.
01:24:37Cover.
01:24:52Well, see?
01:24:53You have some friends in Middleton after them.
01:24:55How's it going?
01:24:56Boy, I think these boys have a future in renovation.
01:24:59I guess you're going to check out the damage.
01:25:00Yeah.
01:25:01Hey, Brandon.
01:25:02How's it going, man?
01:25:03Good.
01:25:04Well, it doesn't look so bad.
01:25:05Oh, Jake.
01:25:06Oh, Jake.
01:25:07Don't handle broken glass.
01:25:08Oh.
01:25:09Oh.
01:25:10Oh.
01:25:11Oh.
01:25:12Oh.
01:25:13Oh.
01:25:14Oh.
01:25:15Oh.
01:25:16Oh.
01:25:17Oh.
01:25:18Oh.
01:25:19Oh.
01:25:20Oh.
01:25:21Well, it doesn't look so bad.
01:25:22Oh, Jake.
01:25:23Oh.
01:25:24Oh.
01:25:25Oh.
01:25:26Oh.
01:25:27Oh.
01:25:28Oh.
01:25:29Oh.
01:25:30Well, Jake, don't handle broken glass.
01:25:31Oh.
01:25:32Oh.
01:25:33Right.
01:25:34You'll be, uh, a broom.
01:25:40How did that get here?
01:25:41That broom, how did that get here?
01:25:46Somebody must have brought it.
01:25:49No. No, the door was locked.
01:25:52And you haven't been here since then, so...
01:25:54Sure, there's a perfectly logical explanation.
01:25:58Sure looks like a witch's broom.
01:26:00What are you buying?
01:26:05You're not a witch, are you?
01:26:08Silly.
01:26:11Silly.
