18:20I
18:22I
18:24I
18:26I
18:28I
18:30I
18:32Isabel?
18:34We're here to see your mum.
18:36Which one? I have two.
18:38Izzy?
18:40Why are you up?
18:42I'm just getting some water.
18:44Back to bed, pop it.
18:46Viral infection, poor love.
18:48It's actually your wife I wanted to see.
18:50Cheryl's in school.
18:52She's sorting out grief counseling for the kids.
18:54Can I help?
18:56Possibly.
19:06So we're just trying to get some context for some of the kids' statements.
19:10How well do you know Jacob Bolt?
19:12Everyone knows Jake.
19:14Desperate to look cool.
19:16Be one of the gang.
19:18And close to Dan.
19:20In Jake's head, yeah.
19:22Probably had a bit of a crush.
19:24And Dan didn't mind.
19:26Dan was used to it.
19:28He grew up being adored.
19:30By his mum.
19:32By his mates.
19:34By all of us actually.
19:36What about Harper?
19:38Some people have called her complicated.
19:40Yes.
19:42Including my wife.
19:44But I have to disagree.
19:46Cheryl thinks Harper's bright but doesn't apply herself.
19:48What do you think?
19:50That her life has been blighted by her failure to take after her mum.
19:54And she definitely doesn't.
19:56Obviously you know about the test.
19:58The determination.
20:00Done on the child's 13th birthday and the results registered with the moot PMA database.
20:04Persons of magical ability.
20:06Yeah I checked it.
20:08No Harper.
20:10Well that's your answer.
20:12Well that's your answer.
20:40What was the most?
20:42Well that's your answer.
20:44I'll have to do one second second.
20:46We can't do one second second.
20:48There's nothing but with the first second second second.
20:50I'll have to do so.
20:52Let's do so.
20:54I don't know.
21:24Thanks.
21:40Oh, um, one other thing.
21:43It's probably not relevant, just something Cheryl mentioned.
21:46She wondered if Harper had been self-harming.
21:49Did she see any injuries?
21:50No, no, and neither had I.
21:52But Harper started covering up.
21:54Wearing long-sleeved tops.
21:56Was Dan a controlling boyfriend?
21:59Not that I know of.
22:02Thanks.
22:02So I'm not going mad.
22:19I was here six years ago.
22:21Yes, the West screamed, so I can see why the neighbours were concerned, but honestly, it's fine.
22:33Everyone's fine.
22:34Thanks so much for checking up, officer.
22:36We really do appreciate, but my son's fine.
22:38Would someone like to explain what happened?
22:43Uh, Dan.
22:44Do you feel up to it?
22:46Sure.
22:47I was upstairs watching a movie with Izzy, Harper and Bea.
22:49I went downstairs to get some juice, and I tripped.
22:52We heard something fall, ran inside, and Dan was at the bottom of the stairs.
22:56Not moving.
22:57I just screamed.
22:59Then very quickly he came to.
23:01Sat up, started talking.
23:02Any injuries?
23:05I checked him over, but no.
23:06Not even a bruise.
23:08My husband's a doctor.
23:10Kids at that age, they just sort of bounce, don't they?
23:13Well, keep an eye on the wounded soldier.
23:16Any relevance to the present case?
23:22No obvious connection.
23:35Anything to eat?
23:37We need to talk.
23:39Can it wait?
23:40Harper?
23:43Sit down.
23:46Abigail was here earlier.
24:04She told me someone's gone to the police and testified...
24:09that you were responsible for Dan's death.
24:14What the fuck?
24:15I've been to the station.
24:16I've told them it's crazy.
24:17Why on earth would you be involved?
24:19But, of course, the detective wants to talk to you again.
24:22I was nowhere near Dan when he fell.
24:24I was on the stairs and he was on the landing.
24:26That's not the point.
24:28The witness says you did it by witchcraft.
24:37And how exactly did I manage that?
24:41Everybody knows I flunked the witch test.
24:42It's not that simple.
24:43It's not that simple.
24:45Your failed right of determination can't be used in court to prove you're innocent.
24:49Because?
24:55Because there were no witnesses.
24:58Just me and the mate.
25:01And you're witches, so naturally you're going to cover for me.
25:03I guess everyone knows that witches are so devious and no matter how much you tow the line, you're basically evil.
25:11I wouldn't say that.
25:12That's because you do tow the line.
25:16And no one respects you for it.
25:19They tolerate you to a point, but no further, because the moment they need someone to blame.
25:22Why can't we do the right again, in front of every cop in the county?
25:30Still wouldn't count.
25:32A witch right has no standing in English law.
25:34Great.
25:36So everywhere you turn you get screwed.
25:39And you don't think that's unfair?
25:40No, of course it's unfair.
25:45So who was the witness?
25:48Abby wouldn't tell me.
25:49Jacob Bolt.
25:54It's got to be.
25:56But if it is Jake...
25:58Then that's a problem.
26:00Because Ted Bolt reveres that whiny little shit.
26:03So he'll be working overtime to make his story sick.
26:17Is Harper in?
26:18You may as well talk to her.
26:30You'll only make things worse if you don't.
26:33And they already are.
26:37Ah, she is here, but...
26:38Can we please just get this over with?
26:41Okay, if I ask you a few more questions.
26:52Were you and Dan still together at the time of his death?
26:57No.
27:00I didn't know that.
27:04Can I ask why it ended?
27:08Other priorities.
27:11Were you upset?
27:12Was he?
27:19If he was, he moved on pretty quick.
27:21What's up, baby?
27:37What's wrong?
27:39After you dropped me at the party.
27:42Yeah.
27:42If you didn't talk to Dan, no.
27:48Because he was acting weird.
27:51And if you came back and had a go at him...
27:53After the way he treated you, I'd have cheerfully broken his neck.
27:57Don't say that.
27:59But no.
28:01Like I said, I went down the road to look at a sight.
28:05Just to look at a sight?
28:08Why would I say that?
28:09It's like sometimes you used to disappear and mum never knew where you were.
28:14That was a long time ago.
28:16What's all this?
28:17Us against the world.
28:24Eh?
28:26Not all, just some people.
28:30Was it a bone of contention?
28:32You both involved with the same boy?
28:36Bea likes to win.
28:40And she got what you wanted.
28:42Has it affected your friendship?
28:43You could say that.
28:45We're just...
28:46very different people.
28:57So, the footage that was screened at the party?
29:01We're currently trying to establish who was responsible for causing it to be shared.
29:07But if that person was Daniel...
29:09Then I might be a bit pissed off.
29:13And there's your motive for murder?
29:14Which we've already established can't be attributed to Harper.
29:20Unless witchcraft was used.
29:22I'm sorry.
29:32That...
29:32Are you kidding me?
29:36Is that supposed to be me casting a spell?
29:38What does it look like to you?
29:41It looks like a young woman, understandably livid, because her ex-boyfriend thought it would
29:48be fun to show a private, intimate act to his mates at a party.
29:53Those hand movements.
29:54She's angry.
29:55She's angry.
29:56Correction.
29:57She's absolutely fucking furious.
29:58How long wouldn't you be?
30:00Ryan?
30:01You need to get to the station.
30:03Forensics found something.
30:04Okay.
30:05All my way.
30:06Thank you for this.
30:07I just wanted you to see how loved he was.
30:11Yes, all very affecting.
30:12I just think sometimes when people hide their grief, it can look like they don't care.
30:18And no one wants to give that impression.
30:19No.
30:20Indeed, that would not be good luck.
30:21Mr. Whitehall.
30:22Mrs. Whitehall.
30:23Mrs. Whitehall.
30:24Mrs. Whitehall.
30:25I'm so sorry.
30:26No.
30:27No.

31:10No.
31:11No.
31:12No.
31:13No.
31:14No.
31:15No.
31:16No.
31:17Could the rumors be true?
31:19It sounds extreme, but it would explain a lot.
31:43Hello?
31:44Hi, Bridge.
31:45Could you and Julia come around later?
31:47Of course.
31:48And Sarah?
31:49No.
31:50Just you and Julia.
31:52Okay.
31:54Bye.
31:55Bye.
31:57Harper's not a witch.
31:59The failed right proves...
32:00Not in court.
32:01Magical evidence can't be used as a defense,
32:04and if she's found guilty...
32:10Note 15.
32:11Exemption to repeal of capital punishment.
32:13There is no exemption.
32:15The death penalty was abolished years ago.
32:17With one exception.
32:181647, thanks to Matthew Hopkins, magic gets outlawed.
32:22But even after he retires, the law considers magic such a threat to...
32:26Uh, the moral and spiritual well-being of this country.
32:31That it grants...
32:35Exemption in perpetuity from any future amendments relating to capital criminal wishcraft.
32:39So for murder by unnatural means...
32:41The death penalty still stands.
32:44You're fucking joking.
32:45Joking, joking.
32:46Which means if it goes to court, and a jury believes she's guilty...
32:52Jesus.
32:54I didn't tell Harper.
32:56She doesn't need to know, but I...
32:58If it's true...
33:00That Daniel was murdered, that...
33:02God knows why anyone would want to, I have to prove she wasn't involved.
33:06How?
33:08I went to the grave.
33:11Why?
33:12To see if I could pick anything up.
33:14But no magic.
33:16Not that I could tell.
33:17Well then, we...
33:18There is...
33:19One thing I could do.
33:22Divination.
33:24One of the most difficult spells a witch can assay.
33:27For this, we choose white carnations.
33:32Bittersweet, and purple-headed aconite.
33:37Take your scrying bowl, and wipe it clean with mugwort oil.
33:42Cleanse it in the smoke of cedar wood.
33:45Salvia Divinorum, the most powerful of the sacred sages.
33:50To shield and protect the scryer.
33:54Divination requires a question.
33:56Posed by the witch.
33:58Answered by the ritual.
34:00If the question is too vague, the answer will not come.
34:05How did Daniel die?
34:07Was Daniel's death an accident?
34:10The old wisdom holds that there's always an answer.
34:14Though we may not be capable of understanding it.
34:17Sacred oil to cleanse perception so it shows no lies.
34:22Then, the salvia.
34:26Choose the sigils.
34:31Choose the sigils.
34:32Finally, the question.
34:34Who killed Daniel Whitehall at the warehouse?
34:35Sorry.
34:36Who killed Daniel Whitehall at the warehouse?
34:37Who killed Daniel Whitehall at the warehouse?
34:41Finally, the question.
34:47Who killed Daniel Whitehall at the warehouse?
35:11I'm sure there's a reason this can't wait till after school.
35:35Because I don't enjoy pulling students out of class, disrupting their studies.
35:39Jake, can I read you some messages we found on your phone?
35:44We need to understand what's going on here.
35:46What? No, that's private. You got no right.
35:50Dan, fuck that was cringe. You, is how I feel.
35:55Dan, I don't feel the same.
35:58You, please don't tell anyone.
36:01Dan, okay, but you need to stop.
36:03You, forget I said it.
36:06Dan, I wish.
36:09Was that really necessary?
36:10I believe so, yes.
36:13So were you angry with Dan?
36:16For not returning your feelings?
36:19So angry you wanted to hurt him?
36:23No.
36:24Or get someone else to?
36:25No, never.
36:26Why are you saying this?
36:32It's all Harper.
36:35She's the one.
36:37She never understood him.
36:40She never got how amazing he was.
36:44She just...
36:47Wasted him.
36:49Okay, that's enough questions.
36:54Don't tell my dad.
36:57Sure.
36:58So is he a suspect?
37:06Everyone's a suspect.
37:07We've ruled them out.
37:08And it still might be an accident.
37:10You saw the toxicology report.
37:12Mm.
37:13No drugs.
37:14Barely any alcohol.
37:15Yeah.
37:16The drunken stumble breaks neck theory looks unlikely.
37:19But one thing we can rule out is magic.
37:21If we bring in an MI.
37:23Magical investigator.
37:24MI?
37:25That's actually a thing.
37:26It is, yes.
37:27Though evidence derived by unnatural means is inadmissible in court.
37:30But once we find out if magic was used, we can rule Harper out.
37:34Or in.
37:37I know it's not what any of us wanted to hear, but that's the evidence.
37:41So I have to know that you'll be there for me whatever I need to do.
37:50You've been doing really well, Abby.
37:53The way you've held it all together, it's incredible.
37:56Well, grief can make you imagine all kinds of crazy stuff.
37:59What am I imagining?
38:01There's a video.
38:03Of Harper waving her hands about looking angry.
38:06That could mean anything.
38:07Well, and she's not a witch.
38:09We all know that.
38:10Do we?
38:12We've been told it, but...
38:14But what if Sarah wanted to keep it from us?
38:17Why would she do that?
38:18You've known each other since your kids were born.
38:21Is it likely she'd hide something like that from you?
38:23I never would have thought so once, but...
38:26But my son is dead and I need to make sense of what happened to him.
38:31And we all know Sarah can be secretive.
38:34No, she keeps confidences, yes.
38:35And we know she's been willing to bend the rules when it suits her.
38:39I bet she's done loads of stuff for every one of us that no one else knows about.
38:45What sort of stuff?
38:47Michael got passed over again.
38:53Of course he did.
38:54He looks the part.
38:55He's smart, but he's lazy.
38:57He only does the bare minimum.
38:59And we have debts.
39:01The house, cars, gym, golf club.
39:05And...
39:07We're living way beyond our means.
39:09And if Michael doesn't get this promotion...
39:12Sarah...
39:13We will lose everything.
39:18Please help me.
39:19Come.
39:21Help Michael.
39:26I don't know about anyone else, but I for one admit I owe Sarah.
39:29I think we all do.
39:31Which is why I don't think it's very fair to ask us to take sides.
39:35You're not thinking straight, Abby.
39:38You're distraught.
39:39We all are.
39:40Don't turn on Sarah. Turn to her.
39:43She can help you.
39:45There's nothing she wouldn't do for you.
39:48You of all people know that.
39:50When you said slight accident...
40:00I may have downplayed it.
40:04What happened?
40:05What did you find?
40:06Nothing.
40:09The spell showed me nothing.
40:12Maybe I made an error in the ritual.
40:14Is that likely?
40:15I don't know.
40:17I was upset.
40:19I kept thinking of Dan as he was.
40:22Of all of them actually.
40:25Pierre...
40:27Do you ever wonder if the girls saw anything that day?
40:31I know Bridge hates to talk about it, but...
40:34They all used to be so close.
40:36Yeah.
40:38I've thought about it.
40:40And in the end, I reckoned you could read too much into it.
40:44Kids grow up.
40:46Grow apart.
40:48Dan got scouted.
40:49The girls go into boys.
40:51Izzy go into onesies.
40:53But with Dan...
40:58It bothers me.
41:00That day, he didn't give his consent.
41:03But you know he would have.
41:04But I don't know that.
41:06And now I'm thinking...
41:09Is this some kind of payback?
41:11My daughter accused of murder by unnatural means.
41:15Right now, there's no proof magic was used at all.
41:19You don't even have proof.
41:20The warehouse.
41:25What?
41:26There was nothing at the grave, but...
41:28If magic was used at the warehouse...
41:31There'll be traces.
41:35I need to go there.
41:37Okay, okay.
41:39But not today, girl.
41:41What you need is sleep.
41:44Hmm?
41:51Hello?
41:52So I called the moot and asked them to recommend an invite.
41:54Check your email.
41:56Morgan Lynch.
41:58Senior magical investigator.
41:59Very experienced and an expert at identifying the presence of magic at crime scenes.
42:03Great.
42:05Oh, great.
42:07...
42:16Oh, great.
42:17I know it's been a long day, but I need to talk.
42:42Of course.
42:43Come here.
42:47So I've decided to go to the warehouse.
42:51If I can prove that magic wasn't used,
42:54it'll put a stop to all the nonsense about Harper.
42:57Shall I make some tea? Camomile?
43:00I didn't come for tea, Sarah. I came for Daniel.
43:05I want him back.
43:10You know I don't do séances, Abby.
43:12I'm not asking for a séance, Sarah.
43:14I said, I want him back.
43:22That's not possible.
43:25Why not?
43:27You did it before?
43:28No, Abby, that was different.
43:37This time...
43:39If it was a question of calling him back at the threshold, I...
43:43I don't know.
43:45I would try.
43:47For you, I'd try anything.
43:49But he's been dead too long.
43:52His body's in the ground.
43:53There's nothing I can do.
43:55There has to be, Sarah, because my life has no meaning without him.
43:58And if you don't bring him back...
43:59I'm telling you...
44:01I can't.
44:02Well, you need to find a way, because otherwise, Harper will go on trial and Jake will testify.
44:07What do you say?
44:09Bring Dan back.
44:11And I'll get Jake to withdraw his statement.
44:17How would you even explain it?
44:19A boy raised from the dead?
44:24I wouldn't explain it.
44:25I would...
44:27I would just go somewhere.
44:30Disappear, whip down, start a new life.
44:31That...
44:33That's insane.
44:34No, Sarah.
44:35Insane is me just giving up on him.
44:39Call it something given for something gained.
44:43My son's life for your daughter's innocence.
44:46My son just died.
44:56She wants me to use magic.
44:57To do what?
44:58Bring down your back.
45:01Whoever cast the spell managed to obliterate any magical fingerprint.
45:05Murder, by unnatural means, carries the death penalty.
45:09She killed him.
45:11That was dark magic.
45:12The work of a very powerful witch.
45:14It's against every law there's ever been.
45:16Don't say I didn't warn you.
45:44Don't say I didn't warn you.
