Hello, Sarah.

Deveraux's got a DNA match and is going public.

I'm so sorry, Maggie,

but I can't let you out of the car.

It looks like a crude asphyxiation spell.

Angela's husband, he's alive.

I'm proposing a witch identification bill.

What is she doing?

Declaring war.

I don't trust your motives.

Hey, what... Urgh.

Two murders in the same area, sir.

Can't be a coincidence.

Maggie. It's deveraux, there's been another murder.

You've got a lot of explaining to do.

- Hello. - Hi.

Hey.

What's that from?

I got into a fight with a shelf.

Diy is not exactly my forte.

- No? - What can I say?

I'm not entirely perfect.

Morning.

- Morning. - Morning.

I'll get it.

God.

'Sanctuary mp, Angela Otis, shines on politics today,

proposing her new witch identification bill'.

No!

- No! - Mum?

What's happened?

Pierre's dead.

His body was discovered in the early hours of this morning.

I'm not at Liberty to discuss any details, but...

I'm sorry to say...

We believe he was murdered.

Mr frey...

I need you to come to the station with me.

No, Lachlan didn't do it.

No, it's okay, I just need to...

Ask him some questions.

And I'd appreciate your cooperation.

Yeah, of course...

I'll come now, detective.

Sarah.

You heard?

You must be Harper.

Yeah.

Why don't you come in?

Bridge is in the kitchen.

Hey, darling, Sarah and Harper are here.

Izzy's upstairs.

I'm going to give you both some privacy.

Thank you.

Bridge.

My poor baby girl.

I'm so sorry.

Who told you?

Dci deveraux came to the house.

So, Lachlan was at yours, was he?

I had to tell the police, Sarah.

Tell them what?

That Pierre went to see him yesterday.

He didn't tell you?

As far as we know, Lachlan was the last person

to see him alive.

No. Bridge.

There is no way Lachlan did this.

How can you be so sure?

You said so yourself, Sarah.

He's a stranger.

When did you last see Pierre martineau?

Yesterday.

He came by the cottage where I'm staying.

I realise that doesn't look good, but it's the truth.

How did you get that bruise?

Putting up a shelf.

I'm an academic, not a handyman.

I'd have thought one of the advantages

of being a witch is a little supernatural help

with home improvements, you know,

sorcerer's apprentice, and all that.

You'd think.

But my magic is bound.

As long as this thing stays on,

I'm basically a mundane.

Could you talk me through your movements yesterday?

Sure. I was at the cottage alone, all morning.

Made some lunch and then Pierre came over.

Sarah fenn introduced you both?

That's right.

And... What's the nature of your relationship

with miss fenn?

We're still in the process of figuring that out.

Ladies, can I get you anything?

No, thanks.

Right, well, I'm...

I'm just gonna be downstairs, darling, if you need me.

You know...

Friendship is so important

at times like this.

What is she doing here?

Mostly trying to get her feet right under the table.

So, what did you and Pierre talk about?

Soccer, Japanese whisky.

Sanctuary.

So, you didn't talk about Sarah?

Of course we did.

We talked about how concerned we were for her.

Concerned how?

Well, I don't know if you've noticed

a certain amount of prejudice towards witches.

What time did Pierre leave?

I'd say about five o'clock.

Shortly after, I went over to Sarah's house

and that's where I stayed.

All night.

Detective...

I did not kill Pierre martineau.

I could bring you something for the shock.

No.

Sweetheart.

You look exhausted.

I think I just need to sleep.

Yeah.

Of course.

You know where I am.

Yeah.

You're doing so well.

Come here.

Mum?

Are you leaving already?

Sorry, it... It all got a bit much.

Lachlan was with Pierre yesterday.

Just...

Before he was killed.

Okay.

That doesn't mean... Of course, but...

Why didn't he tell me?

It has to be Ryan's killer, surely.

But we don't know it was magical yet.

Have you felt anything since the last attack?

No, nothing.

We'll get through this, I promise.

I know how much Pierre meant to you.

And I know you're grieving.

But... If we told the truth... Please, don't, I...

I can't bear it.

Why did you lock me in the car?

The killer sent more notes, threatening Harper,

and warning me off going to the police.

Then... a few days ago, she was attacked,

an asphyxiation spell.

It was horrific.

I thought I was losing her.

I had to stop you.

I'm so sorry.

Why couldn't you tell me all this?

Because I was terrified.

And Lachlan and I were handling it all,

we thought we were, but I was wrong,

this is way out of my control.

My best friend is dead.

Next time it could be my daughter.

Of course, we need to tell the police everything we know.

Deveraux wanted to see me today.

I'll come with you.

With Lachlan's magic bound, he'll be in the clear.

Why is he a suspect anyway?

Pierre went to see him yesterday.

Wow, okay.

Well, even if magic was used,

I'm not sure deveraux will eliminate Lachlan

if he was the last person to see Pierre alive.

There's no way Lachlan did this.

Lachlan's many things.

But he's not a killer.

Deveraux's barking up the wrong tree.

Check if frey's got a criminal record in the us,

and contact the moot, get me anything you can on him.

Yes, sir.

Here we go.

Come through, please.

A rogue witch murdered Ryan,

using a spell

to gain power by draining his energy.

And you believe this because...?

I performed a magical autopsy on his body.

You did what? Are... Are you fucking kidding me?

Maggie knew nothing about it, I...

I snuck in to the morgue.

The killer's been sending Sarah threatening notes,

and used witchcraft to attack Harper.

I was scared for my daughter's life.

They told me not to tell the police.

Why come forward now?

You need to check if magic was used in Pierre's death.

If it was, then it rules Lachlan out.

He's bound.

So, that's your incentive for telling me?

No.

The incentive is getting justice

and preventing any more murders.

You withheld additional vital information.

I should be arresting you both for obstruction of justice.

In fact, I might just do that.

Is there anything else I should know?

The killer can conceal their magical identity,

but that takes a lot of power.

We need to find this witch before they strike again.

No shit! Well, here's a fact for both of you.

If I had this information sooner,

Pierre martineau might still be alive!

Come on, off you go.

- I'm free to go? - For now.

You're required to stay in sanctuary

while the investigation is pending.

Thank you.

- Hello? - Yeah, hello.

This is dci deveraux from sanctuary.

Hi, dci deveraux.

I need...

A magical investigator.

Thanks, both of you.

I doubt I'd be going anywhere if you hadn't have come in.

Don't thank me.

It was all Sarah.

But believed to be blunt force trauma to the head.

Pierre martineau's death... Comes less than two weeks

after the horrific murder of local police officer,

- DC Ryan henshall. - What is this world coming to?

They've arrested someone.

Looks like the poor fisherman was just a scapegoat.

- Who? - A witch, obviously.

Lachlan frey, Sarah fenn's lover, Harper fenn's father.

Surprise, surprise.

Why do they think it's him?

Well, I assume because all the evidence

points that way, darling.

Okay, so we need to get on the phones and lobby mps,

stay on point with the key tenets of my bill,

once I have numbers, I'm gonna push for a vote.

Er, Tracy, can you organise a community meeting asap?

People are waking up to frightening news.

Absolutely.

Why did you lie to me?

Pierre came to see you.

Yeah.

I didn't lie to you.

I just didn't tell you.

- S... - There's a difference.

Stop it. Lachlan.

Ask me anything.

What did you both talk about?

You.

He cared about you, an awful lot.

Look me in the eyes and tell me it wasn't you.

I did not kill your best friend, Sarah.

Jesus.

I'm so frightened.

I know.

I do have a plan.

If you'll let me take you and Harper to a place I know,

we could stay as long as we needed, and you'd be safe.

I'm not running away again.

You wouldn't be running away.

We would be starting again.

The three of us.

As a family.

I can't.

I have a deal with the moot.

What kind of deal?

I stay and gather information on the anti-witch campaign,

or they bind my magic.

So, Robert alton is blackmailing you.

No.

No, not... Not exactly. We...

We believe in the same thing,

and I... I want to stay here.

This is my home and I want to show Harper

that integration's possible.

She deserves for us to try, surely.

I'm trying to protect her future.

So am I!

And you live in fantasy land

if you think integration is the future.

It's about survival, Sarah.

What do you think is gonna happen now?

Deveraux is gonna get a magical investigator

and they will confirm that Ryan was killed by magic,

more than likely Pierre too.

And then, the shit will well and truly hit the fan.

Where are you going now?

My treatment rooms.

I need some space.

I think we both do.

Hello?

Hey.

You're back.

- Are you okay? - I'm fine.

So, what's happening?

Is that it now? Are you still a suspect?

They asked me a bunch of questions,

I... answered truthfully, and they let me go.

How's mum?

We had words.

Why?

Well, your mum is hooked on this idea of integration,

and as much as I respect her idealism,

I just think it's a pipe dream.

Yeah, especially if Angela Otis and her cronies get their way.

As far as I'm concerned, we should be focusing on

protecting ourselves,

not pandering to bigoted mundanes.

Exactly.

I'm really...

Really starting to regret my decision to be bound.

Sorry to barge in while you're having a nap.

But I wondered if we could have a word.

It's just mint.

Can I ask why you're here, Angela?

I want us to be on the same page about something, Sarah.

Which is...?

Well, I have reason to believe

someone broke into my office.

Then you should report it.

Yeah. It's tricky,

because I think they were a guest in my house

at the time.

So, I'm not sure that counts as a crime.

Was anything stolen?

I mean, nothing obvious.

But they were clearly looking for something.

Information on my proposed bill, perhaps.

How would I know?

You know, I'm more than happy

to air any concerns face to face.

I'm holding a community meeting, at the town hall.

- You should come. - I'm busy.

It's about the murder of Pierre martineau.

It's Friday.

I almost forgot.

I found this...

In my office.

Yours, I believe.

Sh...

What are you involved in, Lachlan?

Bittershore lake?

Redhaven.

What the hell?

Shit, shit, shit!

Hey.

Yeah, yeah.

Listen...

I'm not gonna be able to make it to our meeting.

Some shit's gone down at sanctuary.

Yeah, I gotta lay low for a while.

Alright, just tell the others

I'll make contact as soon as I can.

Okay, bye.

I hope you'll forgive my intrusion.

Robert alton.

I'm sorry, we didn't meet at DC henshall's ceremony.

Likewise, dci deveraux.

I understand your office contacted us about...

Lachlan frey.

Anything you could tell me would be appreciated.

He studied with the moot. Is that right?

The council gave him rare access to our archives.

Mr frey's a gifted historian,

and... passionately committed to his research.

- Too much, in fact. - What do you mean?

Mr frey said that you bound his magic beforehand.

Yes. And prevented him

from accessing highly sensitive files.

So, he found a way around that.

Tried to turn key people within.

He can be very persuasive, dci.

Was he ever aggressive, violent?

I'm afraid they're all the details

I'm at Liberty to reveal.

But do know,

if a case were to be brought against Lachlan frey,

the moot would not defend him.

We can't appear overly involved in these matters.

It's a delicate time.

Robert, it's Sarah.

Angela knows I broke into her office.

And she's holding a meeting at the town hall on Friday.

It sounded like a warning.

Call me when you get this.

Mum?

Mum!

Is this true?

Say something!

Darling...

This is a disgusting move to try to bring me down.

So, it's not true then?

Mum, is my dad alive?

- I was going to tell you. - When?

I just did what I thought was best.

How was it best to tell me he's dead,

just because he was unfaithful with a witch?

I didn't know she was a witch until much later.

Now, your father betrayed and abandoned us

and I never wanted you to feel like you weren't good enough,

that's why I kept it from you.

And your father may as well be dead

for all the interest he's shown.

I can't bear...

That you found out like this.

Please.

Look at me.

I love you more than anything.

Please forgive me.

No more lies.

No more being bullied by those animals, enough is enough.

No, we have nothing to be ashamed of, my darling.

Craftwas used to murder Pierre.

I need to brief Angela Otis,

this is a public safety matter.

Are you sure that's the right thing?

Don't you dare tell me how to do my job.

Have you got any idea the position that you've...

You've put me in?

I arrested an innocent man,

gave a press conference saying that

witchcraft categorically wasn't involved.

Now we've gotta hold another one

and admit that the killer is, in fact, a witch

and that I've got Jack shit in terms of leads.

You've got no idea how much I regret my actions.

You're right.

I've got no idea.

Give me one reason why I don't arrest you

for all of them?

Because I can help.

I did some digging on Lachlan frey.

What did you find?

I think he's more than he seems.

I overheard him on the phone.

A guarded conversation.

Something's going on.

I need concrete evidence. You know that.

Then let me try and get it.

We're on the same side here.

Yeah.

So you keep telling me.

By the earth, and wind,

and fire and rain,

you return, Pierre,

home to the elements from which you came,

and forever loved...

By those who remain.

Stay away!

Show your face!

Robert.

I saw that.

Who's warning you?

I came to honour Pierre, and it just happened.

It was the killer.

I've been making contact with them

and must've left the door open.

What are you doing here?

Answering your message.

I asked you not to go too hard on Angela Otis.

This isn't the time for a moral crusade.

We have to use everything in our armoury.

Her husband left her for a witch.

Is that true?

I'm not in the business of making up stories.

How's Lachlan?

Freed from jail?

Are you watching him, Robert?

He's innocent.

Of murder.

I've no doubt.

Likes to keep his hands clean.

Do you really think you can trust him, Sarah?

In light of this tragic event involving mr martineau,

I'd appreciate your help

in trying to manage any hysteria.

There's a witch serial killer at large.

If that's not grounds for hysteria,

I'm not sure what is.

It's our job to reassure the community

that a thorough investigation is underway.

It's just, given that you arrested the wrong man,

and ignored my suggestion

to bring in a magic investigator until now,

'thorough investigation' just feels... Well, no,

disingenuous.

I've decided to hold a community meeting, tomorrow.

A public appearance is inadvisable, mrs Otis.

I'd strongly suggest you keep a low profile for now.

Well, well, you know, it's not in my nature to be cowed.

Good day, mr devereaux.

If magic is confirmed,

it puts your mum right in the spotlight.

She's the only known witch in sanctuary.

How could anyone think that mum killed Pierre?

There's no motive there. Doesn't make any sense.

It doesn't have to make sense, it's about persecution.

Did the Salem trials make sense?

Look, we just have to prepare for the backlash as best we can.

Think this might be the right time.

Wait here a sec.

Right time for what, Harper?

I feel like you should see this.

If we're gonna defend ourselves against the mundanes,

we can use it.

Can I?

The last star cross.

You still have it.

What are you doing here?

You need to be home, bridge.

Let me take you both now.

No, it's important I show my face.

Important to Angela, maybe.

She cares about me, Sarah.

And she wants justice.

Sarah.

Is it wise of you to come?

I need to know what she says.

It's definitely not wise for them to come.

Hello everyone.

And thank you for coming.

Now, I'd like to start by acknowledging the bravery

of my friend, Bridget, and her daughter, Izzy,

in being here today.

And publicly offer my heartfelt condolences

over the shocking death of Pierre martineau.

A beloved friend,

doting dad,

and valued part of the very fabric of life,

here, in sanctuary.

Now, his death marks yet another senseless killing

of an innocent member of our community.

And as I'm sure you're all aware,

both Pierre and DC henshall

were murdered by a witch.

Bring back hanging!

Well said.

Er, no. No.

No.

Stop.

We're not here to incite more violence.

We must place our trust in the hands of the police

to get justice for the victims.

She's good.

Now, what we need today

is peaceful action.

Now, my proposed bill will ensure local police

know the identity of every witch in their vicinity.

When they arrive, their biometric data,

and when they leave.

If they have nothing to hide,

what's the problem?

So, stopping freedom of movement.

She can't do that.

I should also add,

I have no desire to talk about my personal life,

but my good name has been dragged through mud

by a so-called community member.

All because I wanted to protect my son.

But I refuse to let idle gossip

detract from the real issue.

We have a serial killer on the loose,

a witch intent on inflicting harm on our community

by using dark magic

to drain the energy out of their victims

until they die!

Here, here.

Now, what sort of a world are we living in?

Well said!

Get her out now.

- Come on, let's go. - No.

They buy it, don't they? And I don't even blame them,

she's making it sound so reasonable.

She's just a mundane politician,

it's bullshit, come on, let's go.

Now, without your support, we can't achieve anything.

So, I ask you...

Who's with me?

Look out!

Okay, come on, let's go.

Medic, er... Can we get a medic, please?

And here it is, before our eyes,

the true face of witchcraft.

Right here!

Go home and lock the door,

this has gone too far. Come on.

- Where's Harper? - She's by the front door.

We need to get out of here.

What the hell was that?

I'm not sure. The building started shaking.

Everyone's okay, but we should clear the place out.

Now, enough.

Who are you protecting?

What?

I didn't know this was going to happen, Leon.

Well, you see, the thing is that I don't trust you.

I am ordering you to leave sanctuary immediately

or I will report your infractions

to the commissioner. You got it?!

Just leave.

Harper?

Can we go and talk, please?

Privately.

It's okay, mum.

Dad knows about my magic.

I didn't mean to do any harm.

She could've been killed.

This is my exact point when I talk about control.

Begging you to learn your craft!

Okay, let's simmer down.

What Harper did back there was pretty amazing,

you should be proud.

Don't tell me how to feel about my daughter, Lachlan.

I am proud of her.

I'm also doing everything I can to keep her safe.

Or you're letting Angela Otis win.

Harper has no idea how powerful she is.

Why should we suppress that?

'We' aren't doing anything.

I brought her up, alone.

And if I'd known she'd existed...

Yeah, I...

I can't deal with this right now.

Mum. Where are you going?

No idea.

Well, they're probably out there with pitchforks.

Then perhaps you should've thought about that.

What you did...

Was magnificent.

But your mum's right,

you need to learn to separate

your emotions from your power.

I can.

Wanna prove it?

Ready?

Whatever happens, you have to complete the spell.

Eum ex eat et potestatem eius.

Keep going.

Is magus liberus est.

Et utatur pot estate sua.

Eum dimittam, eum dimittam, eum dimittam.

Potestate am or is.

Keep going! It's working!

Tene stabilis in dolore tuo.

Eum dimittam, eum dimittam, eum dimittam.

Potestate am or is.

Agh!

Tene stabilis in dolore tuo,

cum ego te a ligatione dimitto!

Cometo teris. A ligatione dimitto!

Dad?

Dad?
