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?
00:02:14Anybody there?
00:02:19Walter?
00:02:36Walter?
00:02:36Oh, 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.
00:03:10Thanks, Jake. Thanks.
00:03:14Thanks.
00:03:14Thanks. All right.
00:03:16Okay, come on. Come on. Can you get up?
00:03:20Yeah.
00:03:22Come on. Put your arm on. You hear it?
00:03:24All right.
00:03:24That's it.
00:03:25George, what are you doing out there?
00:03:36Lori is having nightmares again, so I stayed up to keep her company.
00:03:42Again, huh?
00:03:45I was hoping those were over.
00:03:48Children have nightmares.
00:03:50Yeah, but not like this. It's been three years.
00:03:52It started when Jenny...
00:03:59It's been hard on all of us.
00:04:03I miss my daughter, too.
00:04:07You know, I appreciate everything you've done, but I can get some help in here. I'll give you a break.
00:04:13Don't worry about me. I worry about your kids.
00:04:17Every day.
00:04:22Daddy.
00:04:29Oh, honey, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to wake you.
00:04:33Monsters are back.
00:04:36Well, I promise we're going to do something about those monsters.
00:04:41Can you sleep here?
00:04:44Please?
00:04:44Okay, 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.
00:04:54You can't arrest monsters. Everybody knows that.
00:05:06Brandon, why aren't you in bed?
00:05:07I'm not tired.
00:05:10It's a school night. Turn off the computer. Get to bed.
00:05:15Brandon.
00:05:25Listen, I thought maybe, uh, Saturday we'd go down to the park and throw the ball around a bit.
00:05:30What do you think?
00:05:30Whatever.
00:05:39Okay, we'll talk about it tomorrow.
00:05:49Come on, hurry up.
00:05:55I'm tired.
00:05:58I'm tired.
00:05:59Make 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.
00:06:16The Grey Lady.
00:06:19What?
00:06:20I just saw the Grey Lady.
00:06:23Where?
00:06:23In the window, up there.
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!
00:06:48Wait!
00:06:48Wait!
00:06:53Good morning, Derek.
00:07:14What are you doing here so early?
00:07:16My job.
00:07:17Something going on?
00:07:18No.
00:07:19I 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 and say you've tried it.
00:07:29Hi, Martha.
00:07:37Mrs. Tinsden.
00:07:39Keith Russell.
00:07:40Martha.
00:07:41Good 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.
00:07:53Okay, 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 smells.
00:08:20Which 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 of all developments in our community.
00:08:45You're right.
00:08:46I'll see you there.
00:08:49Nosey old bat.
00:08:49I think she wants to be mayor more than her husband.
00:08:52More like emperor.
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.
00:09:57Hello?
00:10:02Hello?
00:10:09Hello?
00:10:13Hello?
00:10:15Hello?
00:10:15Anybody 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 Tinstepth. 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.
00:12:24My apologies.
00:12:26I 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?
00:13:15Come on, push me.
00:13:18Come on, push me.
00:13:26Come on.
00:13:30Come on.
00:13:31Come on.
00:13:45Okay.
00:13:46Okay.
00:13:47Okay.
00:13:48No.
00:13:49No.
00:13:50No.
00:13:51No.
00:13:52No.
00:13:53Kill him.
00:13:54No!
00:13:55No!
00:13:56No!
00:13:57No!
00:13:58Here we come!
00:13:59Come on!
00:14:00Come on!
00:14:01Come on!
00:14:02No!
00:14:03Come on!
00:14:04No!
00:14:05Come on!
00:14:06No!
00:14:07Help!
00:14:08Stop it!
00:14:09No!
00:14:10No!
00:14:11No!
00:14:12No!
00:14:13No!
00:14:14Come on!
00:14:15No!
00:14:16No!
00:14:17Hey, listen, 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.
00:14:45And I don't want to see that kind of behavior again.
00:14:48All right?
00:14:50Now go on.
00:14:51Go.
00:14:54How did you do that?
00:14:58I've always had a way with the fur people.
00:15:01I'm Cassie.
00:15:03Cassie Nightingale.
00:15:04I'm Brandon.
00:15:05This is Lori.
00:15:07Are you two all right?
00:15:09Uh-oh.
00:15:10We better put something on that.
00:15:12Why don't you come inside?
00:15:15You live here?
00:15:20That's right.
00:15:22But this is Greyhouse.
00:15:25Don't you know it's haunted?
00:15:27So I hear.
00:15:29But surely you two brave children aren't afraid of some little old ghost.
00:15:34I told you I saw someone.
00:15:37Well, you'll have to excuse the mess.
00:15:54I haven't had time to do much cleaning.
00:15:56Come on.
00:15:57Come on.
00:15:58Come on.
00:16:10Why don't you sit down?
00:16:12What did you whisper to that dog?
00:16:13I told him it was very bad manners to eat children.
00:16:29These are special healing herbs.
00:16:30My own recipe.
00:16:31I'll fix you up in no time.
00:16:34There you go.
00:16:35Good as new.
00:16:36Mmm.
00:16:37You smell like jasmine.
00:16:38Good as new.
00:16:39Mmm.
00:16:40You smell like jasmine.
00:16:41It was very bad manners to eat children.
00:16:43It was very bad manners to eat children.
00:16:46I can see why she likes it.
00:16:47Do you like some gingerbread?
00:16:48No.
00:16:49I don't know.
00:16:50No.
00:16:51No.
00:16:52No.
00:16:53I'm not sure.
00:16:54No.
00:16:55I don't know.
00:16:56I'm sorry.
00:16:57No.
00:16:58No.
00:16:59No.
00:17:00No.
00:17:01No.
00:17:02No.
00:17:03No.
00:17:04No.
00:17:05No.
00:17:06No.
00:17:07No.
00:17:08No.
00:17:09No.
00:17:10No.
00:17:11No.
00:17:12No.
00:17:13No.
00:17:14No.
00:17:15No.
00:17:16Gingerbread's fresh out of the oven.
00:17:25Isis, calm down.
00:17:27That big dog went home.
00:17:30Here you go.
00:17:32We've got to be going.
00:17:35Thanks for your help.
00:17:40Come back and visit.
00:17:41Anytime.
00:17:42Come on, hurry.
00:17:57Good afternoon.
00:17:58What?
00:17:59Black with sugar.
00:18:01Did I guess right?
00:18:04Yeah, thanks.
00:18:07And I hope you like turkey.
00:18:08What are you doing, Miss?
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.
00:18:22Can't move boxes on an empty stomach.
00:18:24Let 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.
00:18:53What, 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.
00:19:13And I want to file a complaint.
00:19:17OK, I'll look into it.
00:19:18You just watch her back, or that witch will take the bark out of you, too.
00:19:33She'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.
00:19:43You're driving me crazy.
00:19:45Why don't you just leave me alone, OK?
00:19:51Don't worry.
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.
00:20:08Let me see.
00:20:08Let me see.
00:20:09Let me see.
00:20:10Let me see.
00:20:11Let me see.
00:20:12Let me see.
00:20:13Let me see.
00:20:14Let me see.
00:20:15I guess I'll just have to take this instead.
00:20:17Tomorrow, tell your grandpa you want money instead of this crap.
00:20:21If 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?
00:20:32Hey, Brandon.
00:20:33Uh, you used to boss, right?
00:20:36Uh, you used to boss, right?
00:20:49A long, long time ago.
00:21:01Uh, can you, can you teach me how to fight?
00:21:03What do you want to learn how to do that for?
00:21:04Well, I just want to be able to take care of myself.
00:21:05Well, I wouldn't make much of a sparring partner.
00:21:06Why don't you ask your father?
00:21:07Something wrong?
00:21:08Just forget about it.
00:21:09I just want to be able to take care of myself.
00:21:11I just want to be able to take care of myself.
00:21:12Well, I wouldn't make much of a sparring partner.
00:21:15Why don't you ask your father?
00:21:18Something wrong?
00:21:20Just forget about it.
00:21:21What's your problem?
00:21:22Hello.
00:21:23Did you come to deliver those community standards?
00:21:25Oh.
00:21:26I have to understand, Mrs. Tinsdale, she tends to get a little passionate about things.
00:21:43Passion is good.
00:21:46Come on in.
00:21:47Uh, watch the boxes.
00:21:57Uh, would you like some herb tea?
00:22:00It's my own special blend.
00:22:01Uh, who's that?
00:22:05Ah, the infamous gray lady.
00:22:07She 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.
00:22:25I 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.
00:22:34Rusty, the owner, claims that you changed his dog somehow.
00:22:39Well, yeah, I did.
00:22:41Oh.
00:22:42Well, I-I had a talk with him.
00:22:44Well, you-you talked with Rusty?
00:22:46No, with the dog.
00:22:47Oh.
00:22:48What-what exactly did you say?
00:22:51Well, I-I told him he was a good dog and that his master was a beast.
00:22:56But, of course, I didn't want the children to hear, so I whispered to him.
00:22:59Children?
00:23:00Yeah, the dog got loose and chased them into my yard.
00:23:02Okay, 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.
00:23:09Lori?
00:23:10Don't you have a brother named Brandon?
00:23:14You know him?
00:23:15Yeah, I know them.
00:23:17They're my kids.
00:23:22They didn't tell me about this.
00:23:24Well, they probably didn't want it on their police record.
00:23:28I'm sure they told their mom.
00:23:31No.
00:23:33No, their mom, uh, their mom died three years ago.
00:23:38Oh, 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.
00:23:54Dozens of them.
00:23:55Yeah.
00:23:56They also wear those big dark glasses, so nobody knows what we're thinking.
00:23:59Right.
00:24:04Oh, maybe some other time.
00:24:05Okay.
00:24:06Thanks.
00:24:07Sure.
00:24:08Drop by any time, neighbor.
00:24:12Or come see my new shop.
00:24:13Shop?
00:24:14Yeah, I'm opening a small shop on 3rd and Main.
00:24:17When?
00:24:18Uh, what's today?
00:24:19Tuesday.
00:24:20A week from tomorrow.
00:24:21My ad's in the paper.
00:24:23Well, you're taking on a lot.
00:24:25Well, I like a challenge.
00:24:28Well?
00:24:29I'll see you later.
00:24:30Jake Russell?
00:24:31Jake.
00:24:32Call me Jake.
00:24:33Everybody calls me Jake.
00:24:34Well, then I guess it's lucky that's your name.
00:24:38Ha!
00:24:39Ha!
00:24:40Ha!
00:24:42Ha!
00:24:43Ha!
00:24:45Ha!
00:24:47Ha!
00:24:50Ha!
00:24:52What's the trick?
00:24:53What's the trick?
00:24:55A trick.
00:24:57Bye.
00:25:23How's it going?
00:25:29Intense.
00:25:30I'm just as intense as being chased by a dog over at Greyhouse.
00:25:37Did you want to tell me about that?
00:25:41Not really.
00:25:45So I hear you want to learn how to fight.
00:25:47It's nothing.
00:25:49Is anybody bothering you?
00:25:53Just 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?
00:26:19Do you want to hide from me, dweeb?
00:26:21Hand it over.
00:26:23Do you want to hide from me, dweeb?
00:26:25Hand it over.
00:26:31Did they solve it?
00:26:32It's everything.
00:26:33Good.
00:26:34See you tomorrow, you little creep.
00:26:36Bye.
00:26:37Bye.
00:26:38Bye.
00:26:39Bye.
00:26:40Bye.
00:26:44Did they solve it?
00:26:45It's everything.
00:26:46Good.
00:26:48See you tomorrow, you little creep.
00:26:49Bye.
00:26:50Bye.
00:26:51Bye.
00:26:52Bye.
00:26:53Bye.
00:26:54Bye.
00:26:55Bye.
00:26:56Bye.
00:26:57Bye.
00:26:58Bye.
00:26:59Bye.
00:27:00Bye.
00:27:01Bye.
00:27:02Bye.
00:27:04Bye.
00:27:05Bell, book, and candle.
00:27:17Jack, good morning.
00:27:36Look at this place.
00:27:39This was vacant. It 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,
00:27:47all 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.
00:28:01You're not under investigation.
00:28:05I like the masks.
00:28:06Thanks. They'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,
00:28:23I'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
00:28:30before 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, yeah. I can't even smell it.
00:28:37Oh, really? Oh, it's a beautiful scent.
00:28:40It's my wife's favorite.
00:28:41Y'all must miss her very much.
00:28:44Here.
00:28:47Um...
00:28:48Take 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. Satisfaction guaranteed.
00:29:02It's a bargain.
00:29:04No, my first customer.
00:29:05Thanks.
00:29:11Well, good luck with the shop, Miss Nightingale.
00:29:15Cassie.
00:29:18Cassie.
00:29:19Mm-hmm.
00:29:22Cassie.
00:29:23And on your left is Grey House.
00:29:35So named because its original owner, Elizabeth Merrowick,
00:29:38was fond of wearing grey.
00:29:40Now, as you can see, the house has suffered
00:29:41from decades of neglect.
00:29:43Another example of Middleton's motto,
00:29:45looking to the future, building on the past.
00:29:49Woo! Moving right along.
00:29:50Oh, 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
00:30:02and then left her to languish and perish nearly a century ago.
00:30:05It's a depressing story.
00:30:06His name was Captain Charles Hamlin, splendid 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,
00:30:22Elizabeth 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,
00:30:39owner 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?
00:30:56Infinite possibilities.
00:30:56And 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.
00:31:16Uh, I'm not scared.
00:31:19How's your knee doing?
00:31:21It's all better.
00:31:22Dog's not bothering you anymore, is he?
00:31:24No.
00:31:26Can 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 of my house.
00:31:56Hmm.
00:31:57Hmm.
00:31:57Hmm.
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.
00:32:06The 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.
00:32:17My 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, 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.
00:32:42You 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, 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.
00:33:09I 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.
00:33:39Cookie?
00:33:40Thanks.
00:33:45Sweet.
00:33:46An old family recipe.
00:33:48Always cooking up something.
00:33:49So how's the shop?
00:33:51Ah, still slow.
00:33:53Even with the ad.
00:33:54Well, I should probably get going, because 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.
00:34:09Enjoy.
00:34:13Cassie.
00:34:14You, uh, you didn't have to bake cookies.
00:34:21I 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.
00:35:29I'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.
00:35:56I'm very much into aerotherapy.
00:35:57Huh.
00:35:59This one smells like cinnamon buns?
00:36:04Yeah, that's an aphrodisiac.
00:36:07It's my own little mixture.
00:36:12You're joking.
00:36:15Oh, no.
00:36:16You put a few drops on your husband's collar before dinner time, and by dessert, he's primed and ready to go, shall we say.
00:36:21Does, 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.
00:36:34Oh, uh, okay.
00:36:40Great.
00:36:40It's five dollars.
00:36:44Now, to get the full effect, you should put a few drops into some candles and have them burning at the dinner table.
00:36:50Do you have children?
00:36:51No.
00:36:52We tried, but...
00:36:53Oh, well, then you won't have to worry about sending them off to grandma's.
00:36:57Let 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, and 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, and 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, you end up choking it.
00:37:52Mm-hmm.
00:37:53Oh.
00:37:56Is there, uh, 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.
00:38:06I don't like what I see here, Miss Nightingale.
00:38:08It's a magnet.
00:38:11You touch it to your forehead.
00:38:13It aligns your polarities.
00:38:15Clarifies your vision.
00:38:18I have an optometrist, Miss Nightingale.
00:38:22Now this is said to bring inner peace.
00:38:30Miss Nightingale, are you all right?
00:38:38Let go of me.
00:38:41I have had it up to here with your masks.
00:38:46Well, what brings you home so early?
00:38:58Cookies.
00:39:00Nice.
00:39:01Hey.
00:39:02Go ahead.
00:39:05Take two.
00:39:10Daddy!
00:39:10Hiya, honey.
00:39:12Oh.
00:39:15Cookies.
00:39:15Can I have one?
00:39:16You just brushed your teeth.
00:39:19No, go ahead.
00:39:22But brush them again off.
00:39:26And you should go to O'Malley's tonight.
00:39:29Come on.
00:39:30You used to love to go down there and sing the old songs.
00:39:33Yeah.
00:39:34I 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.
00:39:44I 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?
00:40:00Cassie 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.
00:40:06When 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 to me.
00:40:11Honey, you shouldn't bother her.
00:40:14She's got things to do.
00:40:18Okay.
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.
00:40:32Martha.
00:40:32Why aren't you and Judy?
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.
00:41:03You can't be serious.
00:41:05I want you to arrest Cassie Nightingale.
00:41:07I want you to arrest Cassie Nightingale.
00:41:08I want you to arrest Cassie Nightingale.
00:41:09I want you to arrest Cassie Nightingale.
00:41:10I want you to arrest Cassie Nightingale.
00:41:11I want you to arrest Cassie Nightingale.
00:41:12Walter?
00:41:14Jake?
00:41:15What are you doing here?
00:41:16Mr. Cobb used to build houses.
00:41:17He knows wiring, plumbing, woodwork.
00:41:18He knows it all.
00:41:19He's helping me fix the place up.
00:41:20Well, fair exchange for food and a place to stay.
00:41:21Night, folks.
00:41:22He's a godsend.
00:41:23Of 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.
00:41:29I'm afraid this isn't a social call.
00:41:31Oh?
00:41:32Cassie, there was an incident today at your shop with Mrs. Tinsdale.
00:41:37She did take a tumble over one of my displays.
00:41:39I'm afraid this isn't a social call.
00:41:44Oh?
00:41:45Cassie, there was an incident today at your shop with Mrs. Tinsdale.
00:41:50She did take a tumble over one of my displays.
00:41:53I hope she's all right.
00:41:55Well, it depends on your definition of all right.
00:41:58She wants to file assault charges.
00:42:00Assault?
00:42:02Yes.
00:42:07Cassie, Martha's the mayor's wife.
00:42:09You know, she could cause real trouble for you.
00:42:12So what should I do?
00:42:13Well, 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.
00:42:21Tell me some good news, then.
00:42:24Hmm.
00:42:25I got home early tonight.
00:42:27With the cookies.
00:42:28Yeah, what'd they think?
00:42:30Lori was very happy.
00:42:32She liked the cookies, too.
00:42:34I'd hide that wine with Walter around.
00:42:38Oh, I'm not worried about Walter.
00:42:41You are very trusting.
00:42:43I'll take that as a compliment.
00:42:44Oh, you need any help?
00:42:57No, I got it.
00:43:00Looks good.
00:43:02Morning, Dad.
00:43:03Hey, honey.
00:43:04How'd you sleep last night?
00:43:06I didn't hear a sound.
00:43:08What?
00:43:09What's the matter?
00:43:10I dreamed about bunnies all night long.
00:43:13Bunnies?
00:43:14You were everywhere.
00:43:16Not monsters?
00:43:19There were no monsters.
00:43:20So 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.
00:43:38Okay.
00:43:39We'll get ready for school.
00:43:42No more monsters!
00:43:45You know this, uh, woman?
00:43:47Our new neighbor down the street?
00:43:49Oh, yeah.
00:43:51Oh, yeah.
00:43:56Therim One
00:44:10We can't find for anywhere near the второй Oh and nine,
00:44:13so we can have each other.
00:44:15We won't.
00:44:17But if Mr. KSUI
00:44:20Never hope so.
00:44:22We have all the other,
00:44:23and we'll see each other in the school.
00:44:24Hey, Brandon.
00:44:33How can I help you?
00:44:36You got rid of Lori'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?
00:44:51I 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, it'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.
00:45:19Well, warn 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 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?
00:45:36In 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.
00:46:00And 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.
00:46:12Okay.
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.
00:47:21Solid business people who pay taxes.
00:47:23Taxes to help us meet the city payroll.
00:47:26Which includes your salary.
00:47:30Mr. Mayor?
00:47:31No.
00:47:32All I'm asking is that you do a little digging.
00:47:36Aren't you a little curious about her?
00:47:39I am.
00:47:40I am.
00:47:40I am.

00:51:14Oh, this is Kyle, someone I know from school.
00:51:17Hey, Kyle.
00:51:18Hey, is it all right if he stays for supper?
00:51:21Yeah, sure.
00:51:22I should call his parents.
00:51:23No, I'll call.
00:51:26Okay.
00:51:28Might be better if I do.
00:51:29No, he doesn't like us giving out a number.
00:51:33I'll take care of it.
00:51:35Okay.
00:51:38Hey, why don't I order a pizza?
00:51:40Yeah, that'd be great.
00:51:43Great.
00:51:48You know what?
00:51:49You've got a cool dad.
00:51:58Well, how's the pizza, boys?
00:52:01Pretty good.
00:52:01Thanks, Dad.
00:52:02Good.
00:52:03Can I talk to you for a sec?
00:52:05Oh, sure.
00:52:07There's, uh, there's something going on with Kyle.
00:52:16What, do you know his parents?
00:52:18Okay, well, it's nothing.
00:52:19I think...
00:52:21I think Kyle's dad's mean to him.
00:52:25Mean to him how?
00:52:27Kyle, he...
00:52:29He doesn't have a mother either.
00:52:31And his dad, he's always screaming at him.
00:52:35He never gives him anything to eat.
00:52:37I think...
00:52:39I think he even outs him.
00:52:47Would he be willing to talk to me?
00:52:49Dad, I don't know.
00:52:52I'll try and convince him.
00:52:53Okay.
00:52:53And I'll do something about it.
00:52:56I promise.
00:52:58Thanks, Dad.
00:52:59Right.
00:53:01Oh.
00:53:02Can you tell Cassie you met Kyle?
00:53:04Why?
00:53:05She said you needed to meet him.
00:53:07Nancy, well, you look positively glowing.
00:53:24Do you have any more of that oil?
00:53:28You can't be out already.
00:53:29No, no.
00:53:30I just, I want to make sure I have plenty on hand.
00:53:33Well, yeah.
00:53:35The oil may help a little, but...
00:53:37Don't downplay your role in it.
00:53:40It is like a second honeymoon,
00:53:42and it is so much better than the first.
00:53:43Just promise me you'll give the poor man a break every now and then.
00:53:46Oh, he's enjoying it, too.
00:53:47Oh, I'm sure he is.
00:53:51Oh, excuse me.
00:53:55Jake.
00:53:56Hi.
00:53:59Martha dropped the charges.
00:54:01She had no case.
00:54:03Oh, well, that's great news, isn't it?
00:54:05Thank you, Jake.
00:54:06You're a miracle worker.
00:54:07I think you're the one working miracles.
00:54:09I had a talk with Brandon last night.
00:54:12I think you had something to do with that.
00:54:14I plead the fifth.
00:54:15I know my rights.
00:54:16And Lori is sleeping like...
00:54:18like little girls should.
00:54:20That's great news.
00:54:22Who are you?
00:54:27What do you mean?
00:54:28Where are you from?
00:54:31Well, I'm from all over.
00:54:33How far back do you want to go?
00:54:36Are you born...
00:54:38October 24th, 19...
00:54:40Uh, Jake.
00:54:42You don't ask a lady questions like that.
00:54:50Your name's not Cassandra Nightingale, is it?
00:54:52You're so good at getting everyone else to open up.
00:55:04Why can't you?
00:55:09My parents were performers.
00:55:13Traveled all over Europe.
00:55:15It was a magical time.
00:55:16They died in a car crash outside Zarek.
00:55:24And I was sent to a foster family back in the U.S.
00:55:29It must have been hard.
00:55:32They were so strict.
00:55:33They killed the magic.
00:55:37So I ran away, and I made sure
00:55:39that no one would ever find me again.
00:55:42And you've been running ever since.
00:55:44Not running.
00:55:48Experiencing new places.
00:55:51Like Middleton?
00:55:57Hey.
00:55:59If you like new places,
00:56:01there's this French restaurant.
00:56:03It's on Route 20.
00:56:05And...
00:56:06No, you've been to Europe.
00:56:08You probably think this is...
00:56:09Terrific.
00:56:11Yeah?
00:56:12Friday?
00:56:13Seven?
00:56:14I think it's 7.20.
00:56:16Seven...
00:56:167.20?
00:56:17Yeah.
00:56:18That way I'll pretend it's 7
00:56:19and I'll...
00:56:19I'll be there on time.
00:56:22Okay.
00:56:22Okay.
00:56:24Uh...
00:56:25Good?
00:56:26Yeah.
00:56:27Mm.
00:56:28All right.
00:56:29Thanks.
00:56:30Bye.
00:56:31I mean...
00:56:31See you then.
00:56:33Ha ha.
00:56:34I will not dream of Jake Russell.
00:56:39I will not dream of Jake Russell.
00:56:49She is scaring away every last hope
00:56:52this community has of attracting investors.
00:56:54Her black magic shop
00:56:56is a dagger through the heart
00:56:58of our lovely business district.
00:57:00Now, if the police won't do anything about it,
00:57:03then we as citizens must take action.
00:57:06Martha.
00:57:08Don't you think you're judging Miss Nightingale
00:57:09just a little harshly?
00:57:12These are the dark arts
00:57:15that she's practicing.
00:57:17And selling right under our noses.
00:57:20You know, Nancy,
00:57:22perhaps you could better understand
00:57:24the gravity of the situation
00:57:25if you, too, had children to protect.
00:57:29Oh.
00:57:30My own two sons,
00:57:32Dylan and Michael,
00:57:33tell me that at school
00:57:34they call her the witch woman.
00:57:36Oh.
00:57:36And for very good reason.
00:57:38That's true.
00:57:39She makes strange potions.
00:57:43She converses with animals,
00:57:44and she has that drunken Walter Cobb
00:57:47living under the same roof with her.
00:57:49Now, is this really the sort of thing
00:57:51that we want here in Middleton?
00:57:53No.
00:57:54Absolutely not.
00:57:54I know.
00:57:58Good.
00:57:59Then let's show her exactly how we feel.
00:58:14Oh.
00:58:15Can I help you?
00:58:17I just wanted to meet the lady
00:58:18who's the talk of my household.
00:58:21I'm George O'Hanahan.
00:58:23Maury and Brandon's grandfather.
00:58:24Oh, Grandpa.
00:58:26It's so nice to meet you.
00:58:28I'm Cassie Nightingale.
00:58:29Hi.
00:58:30I know who you are.
00:58:31Oh, George.
00:58:32Don't believe everything you hear.
00:58:35The bell, book, and candle.
00:58:38Interesting.
00:58:38I think I have something inside that you might like.
00:58:42Oh?
00:58:42Oh.
00:58:42Oh.
00:58:42Oh.
00:58:42Oh.
00:58:42Oh.
00:58:45A shamrock from the Emerald Isle.
00:58:48Now, how did you know I'm from the old sod?
00:58:52Was it the name O'Hanahan or my devilish good looks?
00:58:55Oh, just a lucky guess.
00:58:57My grandfather was a county clear man.
00:59:01Lived a stone's throw from the cliffs of Boer.
00:59:05I always wanted to stand on those cliffs.
00:59:07Oh, why don't you?
00:59:08Go back to Ireland.
00:59:10Oh.
00:59:10At first, we couldn't afford it.
00:59:13Then my little girl, Jenny, came along, and then we really couldn't afford it.
00:59:18And then there's always a sensible reason.
00:59:24Oh, George.
00:59:25Never do the sensible thing.
00:59:27Getting old.
00:59:28Hey, sure beats the alternative.
00:59:30Now, do yourself a favor.
00:59:33Hide this away.
00:59:35Bring it out again when there's a full moon.
00:59:37A full moon?
00:59:39Yes.
00:59:39That's the time to reconsider your impossible dream.
00:59:43How much for a day?
00:59:44Oh, no.
00:59:45It's a gift.
00:59:46No, I couldn't.
00:59:47Just promise me you'll do it.
01:00:00Important city council meeting.
01:00:07Please, come voice your concerns at the meeting.
01:00:12Important city council meeting in two weeks, sir.
01:00:14Please, come voice your concerns.
01:00:17The bell book and cattle is a black magic store.
01:00:20It must be closed down.
01:00:24Please, come voice your concerns at the meeting.
01:00:27Have you seen this?
01:00:30You're not going to let the old biddies on the citizens committee do this to Miss Nightingale, are you?
01:00:38Are you?
01:00:39She doesn't deserve this.
01:00:41So you've fallen for her spell, too.
01:00:45Nothing of the sort.
01:00:47About dinner.
01:00:49You've stew and cabbage.
01:00:51Actually, I've got a...
01:00:54Working again, huh?
01:00:55No.
01:00:56I've got a casual dinner.
01:00:58Thing.
01:01:01Just to thank Miss Nightingale for all she's done.
01:01:05What do you think about that?
01:01:06I think it's a grand idea.
01:01:22Thank you very much, sir.
01:01:25Excuse me, madam.
01:01:26May I have a moment of your time?
01:01:28Sign the petition.
01:01:29Stop the bell, book, and candle.
01:01:31Voice your concerns with city council on November the 1st.
01:01:34I'll think about it.
01:01:36Oh, well, thank you for your time.
01:01:46Martha.
01:01:47What are you doing?
01:01:49Exercising my rights as a citizen.
01:01:50What about her rights?
01:01:51Well, clearly you won't do anything, so you leave me no choice.
01:01:54What do you hope to accomplish?
01:01:57Article 237 of the city ordinance states, and I quote,
01:02:01If said business is shown to not be in the best interest of the community,
01:02:05its license can be revoked.
01:02:08Hmm.
01:02:08And who decides that?
01:02:10Oh, the concerned citizens of Middleton.
01:02:11Clearly you're not one of them, so kindly step aside.
01:02:13Martha, you're obstructing the sidewalk and the entrance to that store.
01:02:17Go ahead.
01:02:18Arrest me.
01:02:19Our campaign could use the free publicity.
01:02:22Help!
01:02:23Police brutality!
01:02:31Oh.
01:02:33Why didn't you call?
01:02:34Well, there's nothing you can do.
01:02:35Not this time.
01:02:36This is Tinsdale.
01:02:38There's a royal pain.
01:02:40Middleton's a lovely place, but I wonder if it's the right place for me.
01:02:44And if the community doesn't want me.
01:02:46Well, the Citizens League is not the community.
01:02:49Several people have stopped to sign her petition.
01:02:52Which people?
01:02:53You can't let these busybodies run you out of town.
01:02:56They have their reasons for wanting me to go.
01:02:58So I wonder, do I have a good reason to stay?
01:03:03Well, there's your home, your business, all the work you've done.
01:03:11You can't leave now.
01:03:12About tonight, I think we should cancel.
01:03:19You're the chief of police.
01:03:21You can't appear to be taking sides.
01:03:23I'm a citizen, too.
01:03:24Who works for the mayor.
01:03:26I don't want you losing your job over a thank you dinner.
01:03:29Besides, you've already said thank you to me many times.
01:03:31Cassie.
01:03:31I'll close up early.
01:03:34Okay.
01:03:39Say hi to the kids.
01:03:42All right.
01:03:45Straight away.
01:03:45I'll close the bell, book and candle.
01:03:57I'll sign our petition.
01:03:58Make your views known to City Council.
01:04:00Come over here right now.
01:04:02We need you to sign this.
01:04:03As a parent, you must know how important this is.
01:04:07Hello?
01:04:08Would you have signed our petition?
01:04:10Please sign our petition.
01:04:12Close the bell, book and candle.
01:04:14Excuse me.
01:04:15Have you signed our petition?
01:04:17What?
01:04:17Okay.
01:04:17Dad.
01:04:28Hey, Brandon.
01:04:29I wasn't in school today.
01:04:32I'm kind of worried that something's happening.
01:04:33He's going to be fine.
01:04:34He's with his grandmother and Newton.
01:04:37Is he going to be okay?
01:04:38He's going to be all right.
01:04:40You did the right thing telling me.
01:04:43Thanks for helping him, Dad.
01:04:46Sure.
01:04:47Hey, what is this?
01:05:02Oh, Cassie gave it to me.
01:05:04Oh, Danny boy.
01:05:19Oh, Danny boy.
01:05:20The pipes, the pipes are calling.
01:05:36I don't believe it.
01:05:39Shouldn't you be getting ready?
01:05:48Don't you have a dinner date?
01:05:50Oh, a change of plans.
01:05:52But you're still going to see her?
01:05:55Oh, yeah.
01:05:56I don't think so.
01:05:57Look, 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 when there's a full moon overhead.
01:06:14Kayad me Celtic.
01:06:15Kayad me Celtic.
01:06:17Walk in the Celtic way.
01:06:19What does that mean?
01:06:21Sometimes you really get my Irish up.
01:06:23You know that?
01:06:40You still want to go for dinner?
01:06:43Well, I thought we decided...
01:06:44You know, I decided that I don't care what people think.
01:06:49Well, 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.
01:07:02I love to cook.
01:07:03Haven't you noticed?
01:07:04I'm always cooking.
01:07:14Look at this.
01:07:19Well, you really treat Walter well.
01:07:21No, Walter's out for the evening.
01:07:23Oh.
01:07:25Oh.
01:07:27Well, I was hoping you might stop by.
01:07:31How could you know?
01:07:33Sometimes you just have to believe and take a chance.
01:07:37You ready to take a chance, Jake?
01:07:39I think I already have.
01:07:44Why don't you open the wine, and I will get the first course.
01:08:01Sue Ellen Brock.
01:08:04What?
01:08:05You wanted to know my name.
01:08:06The one my parents gave me.
01:08:08Oh.
01:08:09So do you want me to call you Sue?
01:08:10No.
01:08:11Good.
01:08:11Oh, 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.
01:08:35I'd like to.
01:08:36Oh, no, no.
01:08:36It'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, and I replaced the cassette.
01:08:46And at noon, when chimes were supposed to play, the 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, I decided I got to clean up my act.
01:08:59That's when I decided to bring Jenny and the kids here.
01:09:07That was the plan.
01:09:11But plans change.
01:09:16So how did you get here?
01:09:17She brought me here.
01:09:24Jake, I'm the great, great-granddaughter and sole surviving heir of Elizabeth Merriwick,
01:09:31the Grey Lady.
01:09:33It's left of her family's finally come home.
01:09:38Through the Grey Lady.
01:09:39When I found out I had property here in Middleton, I, um, I took it as a sign to come here and
01:09:51settle down.
01:09:52Since you got here, you've had nothing but trouble.
01:09:55Well, 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.
01:10:03Oh, but I love storms.
01:10:06Somehow, that doesn't surprise me.
01:10:08All right, no more about that.
01:10:11Not tonight.
01:10:16Your perfume's nice.
01:10:18Hmm, you noticed.
01:10:20I like it.
01:10:26It worked.
01:10:31You always seem to give people exactly what they need.
01:10:35What do you need?
01:10:38What do I need?
01:10:41A home?
01:10:44You have a home.
01:10:45Yeah.
01:10:46A home is more than a house, Jake.
01:10:49It's one place where people will accept me as I am.
01:10:54Be surprised how hard that's been for me to find.
01:11:00You're so beautiful.
01:11:01Oh, thank you.
01:11:11Midnight.
01:11:12My favorite time of day.
01:11:14You have to...
01:11:14You're so beautiful.
01:11:15Woo!
01:11:32Go to night.
01:11:33Bye!
01:11:33Bye!
01:11:33Bye!
01:11:34Bye!
01:11:35Bye!
01:11:36Bye!
01:11:36Bye!
01:11:37Bye!
01:11:37Bye!
01:11:38Bye!
01:11:39Bye!
01:11:39Bye!
01:11:40Chick-or-Treat!
01:11:50I love you, you're my favorite!
01:11:52Thank you!
01:11:54Thank you, bye!
01:12:10Do 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? 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.
01:12:33And remember, double treats to anyone brave enough to trick-or-treat at Gray House.
01:12:40There's a tree!
01:12:45Why are you scurvy scabbywax?
01:12:48I'll cue 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.
01:13:01Yeah, come in, come in.
01:13:05Oh, 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.
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.
01:13:30So, did you tell your friends at school?
01:13:40How many do you think will come?
01:13:41Uh, 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.
01:13:51Oh, I see.
01:13:54Well, 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.
01:14:16Puppies?
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.
01:14:35I'll get it.
01:14:44Nancy.
01:14:45I heard there was a party.
01:14:46Yes.
01:14:47I'm in.
01:14:48Cassie, this is my husband, Bill.
01:14:51Pleasure to meet you.
01:14:51Nice to meet you.
01:14:52I have some incredible news.
01:14:55I'm pregnant.
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.
01:15:10Uh, 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.
01:15:17Don'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.
01:15:27I 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 pirates going?
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.
01:15:59Oh, tiny question.
01:16:02Why did you insist I book you a flight during a full moon?
01:16:05Uh, better runway visibility.
01:16:08Oh, yeah.
01:16:09They want music.
01:16:11Huh.
01:16:13I don't know.
01:16:13I need to know.
01:16:14I need to know.
01:16:14This will show her.
01:16:32Come on.
01:16:45No.
01:16:47Oh, my.
01:16:49It sounds hard.
01:16:54Ah.
01:16:54Ah.
01:16:55Ah.
01:16:55Ah.
01:16:56Ah.
01:16:56Ah.
01:16:57Ah.
01:16:57Ah.
01:16:58Ah.
01:16:58Ah.
01:16:59Ah.
01:16:59Ah.
01:17:00Ah.
01:17:00Ah.
01:17:01Ah.
01:17:01Ah.
01:17:02Ah.
01:17:02Ah.
01:17:02Ah.
01:17:12Ah.
01:17:12Ah.
01:17:13Ah.
01:17:13Ah.
01:17:14Ah.
01:17:14Ah.
01:17:15Ah.
01:17:15Ah.
01:17:16Ah.
01:17:16Ah.
01:17:17Ah.
01:17:17Ah.
01:17:18Ah.
01:17:18Ah.
01:17:19Ah.
01:17:19Ah.
01:17:20Ah.
01:17:20Ah.
01:17:21Ah.
01:17:21Ah.
01:17:22Ah.
01:17:22Ah.
01:17:23Ah.
01:17:23Ah.
01:17:24Ah.
01:17:24Ah.
01:17:25Ah.
01:17:25Ah.
01:17:26Ah.
01:17:26Ah.
01:17:27Ah.
01:17:27Ah.
01:17:28Ah.
01:17:28Ah.
01:17:29Ah.
01:17:29Ah.
01:17:30Ah.
01:17:30Ah.
01:17:31Ah.
01:17:31Trick-or-treat, babe.
01:17:35Kyle!
01:17:37You didn't think you could get rid of me that easy.
01:17:42I thought you two might want to catch up.
01:17:45Thanks, Dad.
01:17:47So where's the party?
01:17:48Oh, in here.
01:17:54Everyone, this is my friend Kyle.
01:17:56Kyle? This is everyone.
01:17:58Hi.
01:17:59Hey, Kyle.
01:18:00Thanks, Brandon.
01:18:06Nachos.
01:18:10Jake.
01:18:11Sorry I'm late.
01:18:15Where's the 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.
01:18:40Well, at least it's the people that matter the most.
01:18:43I think we need more candles, Jake.
01:18:47Will you help me?
01:18:48Sure.
01:18:49Okay.
01:18:58Where are they?
01:18:59Uh, there should be some on the top shelf.
01:19:01These two?
01:19:03Yeah, those are fine.
01:19:04These two?
01:19:05Yeah, those are fine.
01:19:14Um...
01:19:16There's something I have to tell you.
01:19:18Thanks to Martha and her minions.
01:19:20With the city council meeting tomorrow.
01:19:21I mean, let's face it.
01:19:22They're gonna win.
01:19:23You've got friends.
01:19:24We'll stand up for you.
01:19:25No, that's not enough.
01:19:26So what are you saying?
01:19:27I'll have to close the business.
01:19:28No, Cassie.
01:19:29I don't have a choice.
01:19:30Well, what will you do?
01:19:31I'll have to sell Greyhouse.
01:19:32I'm sure the city would make an offer just to get rid of me.
01:19:33No.
01:19:34You said getting that deed was a good sign.
01:19:35Well, maybe I misread the sign.
01:19:36I think I have to move on.
01:19:37No.
01:19:38No.
01:19:39No.
01:19:40I don't have a choice.
01:19:41Well, what will you do?
01:19:42I'll have to sell Greyhouse.
01:19:44I'm sure the city would make an offer just to get rid of me.
01:19:47No.
01:19:48You said getting that deed was a good sign.
01:19:49Well, maybe I misread the sign.
01:19:52I think I have to move on.
01:19:54No!
01:19:55You can't leave.
01:19:57Lori...
01:19:59Just use your powers to change their minds.
01:20:03I think you have the wrong idea about me.
01:20:06You're a witch.
01:20:08Lori...
01:20:09Who says I'm a witch?
01:20:12You do magic.
01:20:14I don't want you to go.
01:20:16Well, I don't think I have a choice.
01:20:20You peer out of nowhere and then disappear just as fast?
01:20:24I need a moment with Cassie.
01:20:33Jake, the situation is what it is.
01:20:37I'm just being a realist.
01:20:38You, of all people, should appreciate that.
01:20:40You've been running so long you don't know how to stop.
01:20:46I want to stop.
01:20:49I 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.
01:20:59Jake, 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.
01:21:13I'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, man.
01:21:41You know how much trouble you two are in?
01:21:42You're the one who's going to be in trouble.
01:21:44Once 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.
01:22:01You can't do that.
01:22:02They broke the law.
01:22:03They 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.
01:22:23Miss Nightingale didn't do anything wrong.
01:22:25Your boys did.
01:22:26Because someone put in their heads that everyone in this town 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. Just get on your broomstick and get out.
01:22:44Okay, Derek, put these two in a cell.
01:22:48We 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.
01:22:56You 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.
01:23:04You 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, and it stops here.
01:23:26Miss 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.
01:23:56You know, you could be the next mayor.
01:24:02Of course, there is a residency law.
01:24:04You'd have to stick around for a couple of years.
01:24:05I don't want to be the mayor.
01:24:07I just want...
01:24:09A real home.
01:24:11The people who love you.
01:24:12For who you are.
01:24:15Like me.
01:24:17You cast quite a spell, Chief Russell.
01:24:20Does that mean you're staying?
01:24:26There.
01:24:27That's it.
01:24:28Let's get this stuff done.
01:24:29Good job.
01:24:51Well, see?
01:24:52You have some friends in Middleton after all.
01:24:54How's it going?
01:24:55Well, I think these boys have a future in renovation.
01:25:03You should go in and check out the damage.
01:25:04Yeah.
01:25:05Hey, Brandon.
01:25:07How's it going, man?
01:25:08Good.
01:25:24Well, it doesn't look so bad.
01:25:34Oh, Jake.
01:25:35Don't handle broken glass.
01:25:36Oh.
01:25:37Right.
01:25:38You'll be, uh...
01:25:43That broom?
01:25:44How did that get here?
01:25:46Somebody must have brought it.
01:25:49No.
01:25:50No.
01:25:51The door was locked.
01:25:52And you haven't been here since then, so...
01:25:54Sure, there's a perfectly logical explanation.
01:25:58It sure looks like a witch's book.
01:26:00Well, what are you buying?
01:26:05You're not a witch, are you?
01:26:06You're not a witch, I am.
01:26:08This is Ellie.
01:26:36Well.
01:26:38Well, you're not a witch.
01:26:39I was niye...
