After a series of bizarre occurrences, opinions towards the newcomer are divided, with some believing her to be a nuisance but others suspecting her of being something else entirely.

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?
00:02:10Hello?
00:02:19Anybody there?
00:02:35Walter?
00:02:38Ah, Walter.
00:02:39Come on, what are you doing out here?
00:02:42Oh, they kicked me out of the motel.
00:02:44Well, you can't stay here, Walter.
00:02:50What am I gonna do?
00:02:53Come on.
00:03:04You can stay in the jail tonight.
00:03:06And tomorrow you gotta find a place to live.
00:03:08You can't live in an alley.
00:03:11Thanks, Jake.
00:03:13Thanks.
00:03:15All right.
00:03:17Okay, come on.
00:03:18Can you get up?
00:03:20Yeah.
00:03:21Come on, put your arm up.
00:03:22You hear it?
00:03:23All right.
00:03:24That's it.
00:03:33George, what are you doing out there?
00:03:34What are you doing out there?
00:03:35Uh, Lori was having nightmares again, so stayed up to keep her company.
00:03:41Again, huh?
00:03:45I was hoping those were over.
00:03:48Children have nightmares.
00:03:49Yeah, but not like this.
00:03:50Yeah, but not like this.
00:03:51It's been three years.
00:03:55It started when...
00:03:56When Jenny...
00:03:59It's been hard.
00:04:01All of us.
00:04:03I miss my daughter, too.
00:04:04You know, I appreciate everything you've done.
00:04:10But I can get some help in here.
00:04:12Give you a break.
00:04:13Don't worry about me.
00:04:15Don't worry about your kids.
00:04:16Every day.
00:04:28Daddy.
00:04:29Oh, honey, I'm sorry.
00:04:30I didn't mean to wake you.
00:04:32Monsters are back.
00:04:37Well, I promise we're gonna do something about those monsters.
00:04:41Can you sleep here?
00:04:43Please?
00:04:46Okay, I'm gonna 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.
00:04:54You can't arrest monsters.
00:04:55Everybody knows that.
00:05:06Brandon, why aren't you in bed?
00:05:08I'm not tired.
00:05:10It's a school night.
00:05:11Turn off the computer, get to bed.
00:05:15Brandon.
00:05:16Listen, I thought maybe, uh, Saturday we go down to the park and throw the ball around a bit. What do you think?
00:05:30Good night.
00:05:35Whatever.
00:05:39Okay, we'll talk about it tomorrow.
00:05:41Come on, for real.
00:05:42Come on, for real.
00:05:54I'm tired.
00:05:55I'm tired.
00:05:56Make a deal.
00:05:57I'll trade you your dream monster for a real one.
00:05:58What do you mean?
00:05:59Never mind.
00:06:00Never mind.
00:06:01The Grey Lady.
00:06:02The Grey Lady.
00:06:03What?
00:06:04I just saw the Grey Lady.
00:06:06Where?
00:06:07In the window, up there.
00:06:08You didn't see anything.
00:06:09She was there.
00:06:10You're just imagining it.
00:06:11Just like you imagine all your other monsters.
00:06:12It was her.
00:06:13The ghost of Grey helps.
00:06:14Whatever.
00:06:15Whatever.
00:06:16Come on.
00:06:17We're gonna be late.
00:06:18But I really did see her.
00:06:19Wait.
00:06:20What?
00:06:21I just saw the Grey Lady.
00:06:22Where?
00:06:23In the window, up there.
00:06:25You didn't see anything.
00:06:26She was there.
00:06:31You're just imagining it.
00:06:34Just like you imagine all your other monsters.
00:06:36It was her.
00:06:37The ghost of Grey helps.
00:06:39Whatever.
00:06:40Come on.
00:06:41We're gonna be late.
00:06:43But I really did see her.
00:06:52Wait.
00:06:53Good morning, Derek.
00:07:14What are you doing here so early?
00:07:16My job.
00:07:17Is something going on?
00:07:18No.
00:07:19I didn't think so.
00:07:21I'm, uh, I'm heading out.
00:07:22Cruising 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?
00:08:17What kind of smells?
00:08:19Chemical smells, 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.
00:08:32I 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.
00:08:45You'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.
00:08:53Emperor.
00:09:00Come on, Laurie.
00:09:01Okay.
00:09:13Okay.
00:09:14Okay, get up.
00:09:15Okay, come on.
00:09:15I'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?
00:10:03Anybody back there?
00:10:26Welcome.
00:10:38Your 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.
00:10:54Is that what you call it? Greyhouse?
00:10:57Hmm. Yeah, 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.
00:11:05It'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. Nice 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, how would I know what you saw yesterday?
00:11:51Only you know what you saw yesterday.
00:11:56As the new owner, what are your plans for the property?
00:11:59Oh, I'm not a planner, Mrs. Tinsdale.
00:12:02Well, 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.
00:12:18My apologies.
00:12:38I 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?
00:12:58What happened to the dog?
00:13:00What happened to the dog?
00:13:23What happened to the dog?
00:13:25What happened to the dog?
00:13:26Let's go.
00:13:56Here he comes!
00:13:58Here he comes!
00:14:00Come on!
00:14:02Come on!
00:14:04Here he comes!
00:14:06Help!
00:14:08He's coming!
00:14:10Come on!
00:14:12Come on!
00:14:26Come on!
00:14:34Hey, listen.
00:14:36Now, I know you're a good dog.
00:14:38It's your master that's the beast.
00:14:40Now, I want you to go home and stop scaring those children half to death.
00:14:46And I don't want to see that kind of behavior again.
00:14:48All right?
00:14:50Now go on.
00:14:52Go!
00:14:54How did you do that?
00:14:58I've always had a way with the fur people.
00:15:00I'm Cassie.
00:15:02Cassie Nightingale.
00:15:04I'm Brandon.
00:15:06This is Lori.
00:15:08Are you two all right?
00:15:10Uh-oh.
00:15:12We better put something on that.
00:15:14Why don't you come inside?
00:15:18You live here?
00:15:20That's right.
00:15:22But...
00:15:24This is Greyhouse.
00:15:26Don't you know it's haunted?
00:15:28So I hear.
00:15:30But surely you two brave children aren't afraid of some little old ghost.
00:15:36Told you I saw someone.
00:15:38Well, you'll have to excuse the mess.
00:15:54I haven't had time to do much cleaning.
00:15:56Come on.
00:15:58Come on.
00:16:10Why don't you sit down?
00:16:12What did you whisper to that dog?
00:16:26I told him it was very bad manners to eat children.
00:16:32These are special healing herbs, my own recipe.
00:16:48They'll fix you up in no time.
00:16:50There you go.
00:17:02Good as new.
00:17:04Mmm, you smell like jasmine.
00:17:06It's my mother's perfume.
00:17:08Well, I can see why she likes it.
00:17:12Would you like some gingerbread?
00:17:16It's fresh out of the oven.
00:17:24Isis, calm down.
00:17:26That big dog went home.
00:17:30Here you go.
00:17:32I've got to be going.
00:17:34Um, thanks for your help.
00:17:40Come back and visit. Anytime.
00:17:46Come on. Hurry.
00:17:48Good afternoon.
00:17:56What?
00:17:58Black with sugar.
00:18:00Did I guess right?
00:18:04Yeah, thanks.
00:18:06And I hope you like turkey.
00:18:10What are you doing, Miss?
00:18:12You look like you skipped breakfast.
00:18:16I don't need your help, lady.
00:18:18No, but I need your help.
00:18:22Can't move boxes on an empty stomach.
00:18:24Let me know when you're ready.
00:18:46Hey, Jake.
00:18:48Wait a minute.
00:18:50Hey, Rusty.
00:18:51Jake, look.
00:18:52Just look at him.
00:18:53He's ruined.
00:18:54What?
00:18:55Tell her what's wrong with him.
00:18:56He don't bark.
00:18:57He won't growl no more.
00:18:58He 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.
00:19:12You can't be serious.
00:19:13And 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.
00:19:21She's a witch.
00:19:34Witches don't exist.
00:19:36But she can do magic.
00:19:38Magic doesn't exist either.
00:19:40Maybe she's the Grey Lady.
00:19:42You're driving me crazy.
00:19:44Why don't you just leave me alone, okay?
00:19:47Sorry.
00:19:48Not so fast.
00:19:49Where is it?
00:19:50I don't have any money today.
00:19:51My grandpa packed my lunch.
00:19:52Let me see.
00:19:53I guess I'll just have to take this instead.
00:20:21Crap. If 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!
00:20:51Grandpa.
00:20:55Hey, Brandon.
00:20:56Uh, you're used to boss, right?
00:20:59A long, long time ago.
00:21:02Uh, can 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?
00:21:20Some wrong?
00:21:22Just 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, Mrs. Tinsdale, she tends to get a little passionate about things.
00:21:45Passion is good.
00:21:47Come on in.
00:21:48Uh, watch the boxes.
00:21:58Uh, would you like some herb tea?
00:22:00It's my own special blend.
00:22:01Uh, who's that?
00:22:06Ah, the infamous gray lady.
00:22:08She was here when I arrived.
00:22:09She looks like you.
00:22:11Do I look that cracked and faded?
00:22:14Uh, listen, 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.
00:22:36Rusty, 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.
00:23:35No, 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.
00:24:00I know.
00:24:02Oh, 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?
00:24:55A trick.
00:24:58Bye.
00:24:59How's it going?
00:25:29It's intense. Almost as intense as being chased by a dog over at Greyhouse.
00:25:37Did you want to tell me about them?
00:25:41Not really.
00:25:45So 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.
00:25:55If 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.
00:26:43Did 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.
00:27:44Well, if you make up your mind you want something, all the obstacles seem to vanish.
00:27:51You've got 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.
00:28:01You're not under investigation.
00:28:05I 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.
00:28:28It'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.
00:28:49Take a whiff of this.
00:28:51Whoa.
00:28:52That'll clear your sinuses.
00:28:53Yeah, 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.
00:29:12Well, good luck with the shop, Miss Nightingale.
00:29:15Cassie.
00:29:18Cassie.
00:29:19Mm-hmm.
00:29:22Cassie.
00:29:23Cassie.
00:29:23And on your left is Grey House.
00:29:35So named because its original owner, Elizabeth Merrowick, was fond of wearing grey.
00:29:39Now, 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.
00:29:49Moving right along.
00:29:51Maybe they'd like to hear the legend of the Grey Lady.
00:29:53Just a local legend.
00:29:56Uh, popular with school children and the deluded.
00:29:59Apparently, she married some sailor who hoisted anchor and then left her to languish and perish nearly a century ago.
00:30:05Oh, it'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.
00:30:29And Elizabeth was found dead of a broken heart.
00:30:33Anyway, that's one version.
00:30:35Hello, Mrs. Tinsdale.
00:30:37And hi, everyone.
00:30:37I'm Cassie Nightingale.
00:30:40Owner of Grey House.
00:30:42Oh.
00:30:43Would you like to come inside for a tour?
00:30:44We're on a very tight schedule.
00:30:47Well, the invitation's open.
00:30:48Anytime.
00:30:49And if you'd like, you can stop by my new shop on Main.
00:30:51The 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.
00:31:14Sorry, I didn't mean to scare you.
00:31:15Uh, I'm not scared.
00:31:19How'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.
00:31:47Monsters are a bit trickier than dogs.
00:31:50They really can't hurt you, but they make you think they can.
00:31:52I 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, letting 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.
00:32:16My 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, I need you to do something very important.
00:32:31Here.
00:32:34You 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.
00:32:41You 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, I will not dream of bunnies.
00:32:55I 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.
00:33:11I will not dream of bunnies.
00:33:22Cassie.
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.

00:35:25Oh, 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.
00:35:45The town's been struggling ever since the plant closed.
00:35:48So she's a visionary.
00:35:51These are wonderful.
00:35:53Essential oils and flower essences.
00:35:55I'm very much into aromatherapy.
00:35:57Huh.
00:35:58This one smells like cinnamon buns?
00:36:03Yeah, that's an aphrodisiac.
00:36:06It's my own little mixture.
00:36:09You're joking.
00:36:14Oh, no.
00:36:15You 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.
00:36:21Does...
00:36:22I mean...
00:36:24Does it really work?
00:36:25Why don't you give it a shot?
00:36:26If it doesn't, I'll give you your money back.
00:36:28Oh, no, no.
00:36:29I don't need it.
00:36:30I'm not suggesting you do.
00:36:31Just consider it a fun little experiment.
00:36:35Oh, uh...
00:36:37Okay.
00:36:38Great.
00:36:39It's $5.
00:36:41Now, to get the full effect, you should put a few drops into some candles and have them burning
00:36:47at the dinner table.
00:36:48Do you have children?
00:36:49No.
00:36:50We tried, but...
00:36:51Oh, well, then you won't have to worry about sending them off to grandma's.
00:36:55Let me know how things turn out.
00:36:56I will.
00:36:58Martha!
00:36:59Afternoon, Nancy.
00:37:00Ah!
00:37:01What have we here?
00:37:02I just...
00:37:03Uh...
00:37:04Little...
00:37:05Something for my home.
00:37:06Mrs. Tinsdale, please.
00:37:07Come on in.
00:37:08Excuse me.
00:37:09I was just hearing about your revitalization plants.
00:37:10Middleton's a special place, and it attracts a special sort of person.
00:37:30I love it here.
00:37:32This town has a...
00:37:34Yes.
00:37:37This town has a gracious kind of beauty,
00:37:41and we work very, very hard to keep it that way.
00:37:45We 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.
00:37:52Mm-hmm.
00:37:53Oh.
00:37:56Is there something in particular you're looking for?
00:37:59What are these?
00:38:01Oh, Celtic symbols from the Old World.
00:38:03Very fashionable.
00:38:04They look like symbols used in witchcraft.
00:38:05I don't like what I see here, Miss Nightingale.
00:38:09It's a magnet.
00:38:12You touch it to your forehead.
00:38:14It aligns your polarities, clarifies your vision.
00:38:19I have an optometrist, Miss Nightingale.
00:38:26Now this is said to bring inner peace.
00:38:30Ah!
00:38:31Ah!
00:38:32Ah!
00:38:32Ah!
00:38:33Ah!
00:38:33Ah!
00:38:33Ah!
00:38:33Ah!
00:38:33Ah!
00:38:34Mrs. Tansdale!
00:38:37Are you all right?
00:38:39Let go of me!
00:38:41I have had it up to here with your masks.
00:38:56Well, what brings you home so early?
00:38:58Cookies.
00:38:59Go ahead.
00:39:00Take two.
00:39:01Daddy!
00:39:02Hiya, honey.
00:39:03Oh!
00:39:04Cookies!
00:39:05Can I have one?
00:39:06You just brushed your teeth.
00:39:07No, go ahead.
00:39:08But brush them again out.
00:39:09And you should go to O'Malley's tonight.
00:39:12Come on, you used to love to go down there and sing the old songs.
00:39:13Yeah.
00:39:14I think I'm just going to head to bed.
00:39:15You feeling all right?
00:39:16Yeah, I'm fine.
00:39:17Just a little tired.
00:39:18I'll see you in the morning.
00:39:19Bye.
00:39:20Bye.
00:39:21Bye.
00:39:22Bye.
00:39:23Bye.
00:39:24Bye.
00:39:25Bye.
00:39:26I will not dream of bunnies.
00:39:27What?
00:39:28I will not dream of bunnies.
00:39:29Okay.
00:39:30Where did you get this?
00:39:31Oh, my honey used to love to go down there and sing the old songs.
00:39:33Yeah, I think I'm just going to head to bed.
00:39:37You feeling all right?
00:39:39Yeah, I'm fine.
00:39:40Just 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.
00:39:54Okay.
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 Grey House all by myself.
00:40:10She's really nice to me.
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.
00:40:30I will not dream of bunnies.
00:40:48Martha?
00:40:49Why aren't you on duty?
00:40:50We changed the schedule.
00:40:52Well, I visited her little shop of horrors today and when I politely suggested that some
00:40:58of her merchandise might not be appropriate for Middleton, she pushed me over a display.
00:41:02You can't be serious.
00:41:04I want you to arrest Cassie Nightingale.
00:41:06Walter?
00:41:07Jake?
00:41:08What are you doing here?
00:41:09Mr. Cobb used to build houses.
00:41:10He knows wiring, plumbing, woodwork.
00:41:11He knows it all.
00:41:12He's helping me fix the place up.
00:41:13Well, fair exchange for food and a place to stay.
00:41:16Good night, folks.
00:41:17Good night, folks.
00:41:18He's a godsend.
00:41:19Of course, I believe the right people always show up when you need them most.
00:41:24I didn't recognize him.
00:41:25Well, I almost didn't recognize you without your gun and badge.
00:41:26I'm afraid this isn't a social call.
00:41:27Oh?
00:41:28Cassie was an incident today at your shop with Mrs. Tinsdale.
00:41:29She did take a tumble over one of my displays.
00:41:42Hope she's all right.
00:41:45Well, it depends on your definition of all right.
00:41:57Definition 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
00:42:16and 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.
00:42:24I got home early tonight with 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.
00:42:54Oh, 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?
00:43:07I 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.
00:43:39We'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.
00:44:05Hey, Brandon.
00:44:32How can I help you?
00:44:35You got rid of Lauren's monsters.
00:44:39I'm glad to hear they're gone, but Lori 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?
00:45:04See, contrary to popular belief, it's hard to shrink someone down to the size of a frog.
00:45:10You can hardly do that?
00:45:12Who is this person, anyway?
00:45:13His name's Kyle.
00:45:15He's a bully.
00:45:17You told anyone?
00:45:19No.
00:45:20Warned me not to.
00:45:21See.
00:45:22So, then, uh, this goat frog thing is flexible as long as he's turned into something less threatened.
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?
00:45:37In order for this to work, I need you to do four things.
00:45:40First, 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.
00:45:56And finally, Kyle must touch this crystal.
00:45:59And 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.
00:47:17We want Middleton to appeal to new investors.
00:47:21Solid business people who pay taxes.

00:55:04my parents were performers
00:55:10traveled all over Europe
00:55:14it was a magical time
00:55:16they died in a car crash outside Zarek
00:55:23and I was sent to a foster family back in the U.S.
00:55:29it must have been hard
00:55:30they were so strict
00:55:33they killed the magic
00:55:35so I ran away
00:55:38and I made sure that no one would ever find me again

00:56:30I mean
00:56:31see you then
00:56:33I will not dream of Jake Russell
00:56:39I will not dream of Jake Russell
00:56:42she is scaring away every last hope this community has of attracting investors
00:56:54her 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
00:57:16and selling right under our noses
00:57:20you know Nancy
00:57:22perhaps you could better understand the gravity of the situation
00:57:25if you too had children to protect
00:57:28oh
00:57:29my own two sons Dylan and Michael
00:57:32tell me that at school they call her the witch woman
00:57:36and for very good reason
00:57:38she makes strange potions
00:57:42she converses with animals
00:57:44and she has that drunken Walter Cobb living under the same roof with her
00:57:48now is this really the sort of thing that we want here in Middleton
00:57:53no
00:57:53good
00:57:58then let's show her exactly how we feel

01:11:44Do I really have to wear this?
01:12:14You need to get into the spirit of things.
01:12:15Get in touch with your inner child.
01:12:18Inner child's about to have a tantrum.
01:12:21What about you?
01:12:22I mean, what are you going to wear?
01:12:23Don't you recognize the gray lady?
01:12:28Oh, trick-or-treaters, go.
01:12:29Go in through it.
01:12:34And remember, double treats to anyone brave enough to trick-or-treat at Gray House.
01:12:41Trick-or-treat.
01:12:44Why 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.
01:12:58Arr, arr.
01:12:59Okay, that's a little too realistic.
01:13:01Oh?
01:13:01Yeah.
01:13:02Come in.
01:13:03Come in.
01:13:03Oh, and what are you supposed to be?
01:13:09A witch.
01:13:10She insisted.
01:13:12Don't you know witches aren't very popular around here?
01:13:14I don't care.
01:13:15I 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.
01:13:27You're the great lady.
01:13:28Yes, and I've come to haunt the party.
01:13:30Ooh.
01:13:31Ooh.
01:13:31So, 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?
01:13:46Well, 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.
01:14:10Well, the only way to get rid of dream bunnies is to have them chased by dream puppies.
01:14:15Puppies?
01:14:17Wiggling, face-licking puppies.
01:14:20Oh, no.
01:14:21I will not dream of puppies.
01:14:23I will not dream of puppies.
01:14:34Hmm.
01:14:35I'll get it.
01:14:44Nancy.
01:14:44I heard there was a party.
01:14:46Yes, come in.
01:14:48Cassie, this is my husband, Bill.
01:14:51Pleasure to meet you.
01:14:52Nice to meet you.
01:14:52I have some incredible news.
01:14:55I'm pregnant.
01:14:56Oh!
01:14:56Yes!
01:14:57That's so wonderful.
01:14:59I still can't believe it.
01:15:00We've been trying for so long.
01:15:01We'd-we'd given up hope.
01:15:03I'm so happy for you.
01:15:05I love you.
01:15:06I love you, too.
01:15:07Oh.
01:15:08Uh, guys.
01:15:11Oh.
01:15:12Party's that way.
01:15:13Sorry.
01:15:14Honey, why don't you head on in?
01:15:15Be right there.
01:15:16Don't be long.
01:15:17I'll miss you.
01:15:20Did you have anything to do with this?
01:15:23Well, I've been accused of a lot of things, but not getting someone pregnant.
01:15:26I 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?
01:15:39Oh, it's most definitely magic.
01:15:51How are my parents?
01:15:52Hi, George.
01:15:53Here it is.
01:15:54Your itinerary for Ireland.
01:15:56It should be quite a trip.
01:15:58To the cliffs or more.
01:16:00Oh, tiny question.
01:16:02Why did you insist I book you a flight during a full moon?
01:16:05Uh, better runway visibility.
01:16:09Oh, yeah.
01:16:10They won.
01:16:11You too.
01:16:13I don't know.
01:16:13I even know.
01:16:14This will show her.
01:16:39Come on.
01:16:45Come on, go.
01:16:47Oh, my.
01:16:49No, come on.
01:16:50You too.
01:16:51That's okay.
01:17:20Trick-or-treat, bleep.
01:17:36Kyle!
01:17:37You didn't think you could get rid of me that easy.
01:17:43I thought you two might want to catch up.
01:17:46Thanks, Dad.
01:17:47So where's the party?
01:17:48Oh, in here.
01:17:50Everyone, this is my friend Kyle.
01:17:57Kyle, this is everyone.
01:17:59Hi.
01:17:59Hey, Kyle.
01:18:00Thanks, Brandon.
01:18:07Nachos.
01:18:10Jake.
01:18:11Sorry 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.
01:18:26I don't need this anymore.
01:18:30And cancel the goat.
01:18:34Gotcha.
01:18:38Not the biggest turnout.
01:18:40Yeah, well, 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?
01:18:49Okay.
01:18:49Okay.
01:18:59Where are they?
01:18:59Uh, there should be some on the top shelf.
01:19:05These two?
01:19:06Yeah, those are fine.
01:19:13Um.
01:19:17Some I have to tell you.
01:19:18Thanks to Martha and her minions.
01:19:24With 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?
01:19:36I'll have to close the business.
01:19:38No, Cassie.
01:19:39I don't have a choice.
01:19:40Well, what will you do?
01:19:41Well, I'll have to sell a gray house.
01:19:46I'm sure the city would make an offer just to get rid of me.
01:19:47No, 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.
01:19:54No!
01:19:56You can't leave.
01:19:58Lori.
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.
01:20:09Lori.
01:20:10Who says I'm a witch?
01:20:11You do magic.
01:20:14I 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?
01:20:25Honey, I need a moment with Cassie.
01:20:35Jake, the situation is what it is.
01:20:37I'm just being a realist.
01:20:39You, of all people, should appreciate that.
01:20:41You've been running so long, you don't know how to stop.
01:20:46I want to stop.
01:20:50I want to stay.
01:20:54But I'm afraid.
01:20:55Well, you've got to find some of that courage that you've given to so many of us.
01:21:02Jake, it's Derek.
01:21:03Over.
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.
01:21:13I'm on my way.
01:21:14I'm on my way.
01:21:15I'm on my way.
01:21:29Derek?
01:21:31Michael and Dylan?
01:21:32Yeah.
01:21:33Caught them red-handed.
01:21:34They did a real job on your shop.
01:21:35Did you call, uh...
01:21:37Oh, yeah.
01:21:39I don't believe it.
01:21:40You know how much trouble you two are in?
01:21:42You're the one who's going to be in trouble once my dad gets here.
01:21:46Yeah.
01:21:50Oh, 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, and 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.
01:22:07Tom, do something.
01:22:08Don't let him do this.
01:22:09Now, surely we can work something out.
01:22:11Well, I'm sorry, Mr. Mayor, for you and your boys.
01:22:15Now, 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.
01:22:24Miss Nightingale didn't do anything wrong.
01:22:25Your boys did.
01:22:26Because someone put in their heads that everyone in this town needs to act the same and look the same, but 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.
01:22:46Okay, 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.
01:22:55I'm not pressing charges.
01:22:56No, you 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.
01:23:06You two boys go wait in my car.
01:23:13Well, none of this would have happened if 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 into a couple of juvenile delinquents,
01:23:25and it stops here.
01:23:28Miss Nightingale, I'm equally at fault in all of this.
01:23:32I apologize.
01:23:34My boys are going back to your shop and fix the damage.
01:23:36What?
01:23:36And fix the damage they've done.
01:23:38Mrs. Tinsdale and I will pay you for any additional damages.
01:23:42But, Tom...
01:23:42Not another word.
01:23:50You 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.
01:24:13Like me.
01:24:17You 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.
01:24:33We have an extension cord.
01:24:35Oh, yeah.
01:24:36That's a great cover.
01:24:37Let's see.
01:24:43Well, see?
01:24:53You have some friends in Middleton after them.
01:24:55How's it going?
01:24:57Boy, I think these boys have a future in renovation.
01:25:03I wish you'd go in and check out the damage.
01:25:05Yeah.
01:25:05Hey, Brandon.
01:25:07How's it going, man?
01:25:08Good.
01:25:13Well, it doesn't look so bad.
01:25:34Oh, Jake, don't handle broken glass.
01:25:37Right.
01:25:37You'll be, uh, a bro...
01:25:39That broom, how did that get here?
01:25:46Somebody must have brought it.
01:25:49No.
01:25:50No, 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.
01:26:01Yeah, what are you buying?
01:26:05You're not a witch, are you?
01:26:07Silly.
01:26:09Oh, my God.
