Very funny.

Hello?

Hello!

Anybody there?

Walter? - Uhm.

Oh, Walter!

Oh, they kicked me out of the motel.

You can not stay here, Walter.

What I am going to do?

Cone on.

You can stay in the jail tonight.

But tomorrow you gotta to find a place to live.

You can not live in an alley.

Thanks, Jake. Thanks.

All right. Okay, come on.

Can you get up? - Yes

Put your arm around here. That's it.

George, what are you doing up?

Uh, Lori, having nightmares again.

Stay up to her company.

Again, huh?

Hope it'll be over.

They are just nightmares.

Yeah, but not like this, it has been three years.

Started when... Jenny

It hasbeen hard... for all of us.

I missed my daughter too.

Do you know...

I appreciate everything you have done.

But I can some help in here. Give you a break.

Don't worry about me.

Worry about your kids.

I worry every day.

Daddy.

Honey, I'm sorry. I don't mean to wake you.

Monsters are back.

Well, I promise we're going to do something

about those monsters.

Can you sleep here?

Please?

Okay, I'm gotta to check on Brandon, then I'll come back and stay with you a for a while.

and if those monsters come around, I'll arrest them.

You can not arrest monsters.

Everyone knows that.

Brandon, why aren't you in bed.

I'm not tired.

It's a school night, turn off the computer

and go to bed.

Brandon!

I thought... maybe Saturday,

we'll go down to the park, throw the ball around.

What do you think?

Whatever.

Okay, we'll talk about it tomorrow.

Come on, hurry up.

I'm tired.

What you can do... trade in your dream monster for a real one.

What do you mean? - Nevermind.

Uh! The Grey Lady.

What? - I just saw the Grey lady.

Where?

In the window up there.

I didn't see anything. - She was there.

You are just imagining it. Just like you imagine all your other monsters.

It was her, the ghost of Grey house.

Whatever, come on, we're going to be late.

But... I really did see her.

Wait!

Ahh!

Good morning, Derek. - What are you doing here so early?

My job.

Something going on?

No.

I didn't think so.

- Hmph... I'm heading out. - Cruising through the streets of Middletown?

That should take all of 10 minutes?

I can't sit aound out here all day like you do.

Don't knock it until you tried it.

Hi, Marta.

Mrs. Tinsdale.

Jake Russell. - Martha, good morning.

What can I do for you today?

I am astounded that you let that drunken

Walter Cobb out of jail.

I just saw him leave here and stumble down the street.

Now its your responsibility to keep our streets safe.

Okay, I'll have a talk with him.

You need more than talk.

Anything else?

There is a rumor going around that someone is occupying the Grey house.

The Grey house?

Who would want to live there?

Probably some little old lady with 15 cats.

Several members of the Citizens League have reported strange smells

coming from the place.

Smells? What kind of smell?

Chemical smells, which makes me wonder

someone is setting up a drug lab.

A drug lab?

In Middletown?

You need to check on it.

I will

I'll check on it right away. - Good, I'll meet you there.

No, you don't have to do that.

Chief Russell, as Chairperson of the Citizens League,

it is my responsibility to keep appraise

of all development in our community.

You're right. I'll see you there.

Nosy old bat.

I think she wants to marry more than a husband.

More like an emperor.

Come on, Lori.

It's okay, okay.

let's get out.

Come on.

I am sure it's nothing but just stay behind me.

Gladly

It seems pretty quiet.

Mr. Perkins saw lights switched on last night.

Police Department.

Hello?

Hello?

Hello?

Anybody back there?

Welcome.

Your name please?

Cassandra Nightingale.

You, uh... - You reside in this premises?

I live here, if this is what you mean.

You... you own Grey House?

Grey House? - This residence.

This is how you call, Grey House?

Uhm, yeah, I like the vibe.

This property is yours?

Well, that's what it said on the deed.

I didn't realize that anyone had moved in.

It has been empty for such a long, long time.

Ma'am, I am very sorry for walking into your home.

Miss

Miss

I... I am the Chief Russell Middletown Police Department.

Oh, and this is... - Mrs. Martha Tinsdale.

Nice to meet you.

So, you'll be living here by yourself?

Oh, no, no I have Icys.

Icys.

Icys is your cat?

Uh, not exactly.

It is more mutual admiration society.

Ah, yesterday, downtown, was that you I saw walking into the alley?

Chief Russell, how would I know what you saw yesterday.

Only you know what you saw yesterday.

As a new owner, what are your plans for the property?

Oh, I'm not a planner, Mrs. Tinsdale.

Well, I assume demolition and then a new construction...

Well, I think it has character.

Character?

I see the beauty below the surface.

Ms. Nightingale, this community has standards.

I can sense that.

Marta.

My apologies.

I did see the Grey lady this Morning.

You've gotta to believe me.

I believe you, whatever.

You do'nt. You're just saying that.

You just drop it, will you?

What happened to the dog?

Come on, faster.

Hurry!

Hurry.

Turn around.

Okay, okay.

Here we come.

Lori, get up. Quickly

He is coming. Lori, quickly.

Hey, listen,

I know you are a good dog.

That your master is a beast.

Now, I want you to go home

and stop scaring those children half to death.

And I do'nt want to see that kind of behavior ever gain.

Alright.

Now, go on.

Go.

Ahh!

How do you do that?

Well, I always has a way with the fur people.

I'm Cassie.

Cassie Nightingale.

I'm Brandon.

This is Lori.

You two alright?

Oh, no!

I better put something in it.

Come inside.

Do you live here? - That's right.

But this is the Grey House.

Don't you know it is haunted?

So I hear.

But surely you two brave children,

aren't afraid of some little old ghosts.

I told you I saw someone.

Well, you have to excuse the mess.

I don't have time to do much cleaning. Come On.

Why don't you sit down.

Right.

What do you whispered to that dog?

I told him it was very bad manner to eat children.

This is a special healing herbs. My own recipe.

It will fix you up in no time.

There you go.

Good as new.

Uhm, you smell like jasmine.

It is my mother's perfume.

Oh, I can see why she likes it.

Do you like some gingerbread?

Ginger Bread? - Fresh out of the oven.

Icys, calm down, the Big Dog went home.

There you go.

Ah, we... got to be going.

Umph, thanks for your help.

Okay.

Come back and visit any time.

Run, run.

Good afternoon. - What?

Black with sugar.

Do I guess right?

Yeah, thanks.

And I hope you like turkey.

Why are you doing this?

You look like you skip breakfast.

I do'nt need your help, lady.

No, but I need your help.

Can't move boxes on an empty stomach.

Let me know when you're ready.

Hey, Jake.

Wait a minute.

Hey, Rusty.

Jake look.

Just look at him. He is ruined.

What? Tell me what's wrong with him.

He won't bark, he won't growl no more.

He just sits there with nose under his paws.

This is bad thing?

She did this.

Who?

That witch woman over in Grey House, she did something to my boy.

Ms. Nightingale?

She did something unnatural.

Come on. You can't be serious?

I'm dead very serious and I want to file a complaint.

Okay, I'll look into it.

You just watch your back or that witch will take the bark out of you too.

She is a witch.

Witch just don't exist.

She can do magic.

Magic does not exist either.

Maybe she is the Grey lady.

Lori, you're driving me crazy.

Why don't you just leave me alone, okay?

Lori.

Not so fast. Where is it?

I don't have amy money. - Why?

My grandfather pack my lunch. - Let me see.

I guess I just to take this instead.

Tomorrow, tell your grandfather that you want money instead of this crap.

If you don't, you are not the only one who is going to get hurt.

What do you mean?

It would be a shame if anything happen to your sister.

You'll leave her alone!

Grandpa... - Hey, Brandon.

You used to box, right?

A long, long time ago.

Can you... can you teach me how to fight?

You want to learn how to do that for?

Oh, I... I just want to be able to take care of myself.

Well, I would'nt make much of a sparring partner.

Why don't you ask your father?

Something wrong?

Just forget about it.

Chief Russell. - Hello again.

You come to deliver those community standards?

Oh, You have to understand, This is Tinsdale.

And Tinsdale is passionate about things.

Uhm, passionate is good.

Come on in.

Ah, watch the boxes.

Do you like some herb tea? It is my own special blend.

Uh...

Who is that?

The infamous Grey lady. She is here when I arrived?

She looks like you.

I look so cracked and faded.

Look, the reason I'm hereis about that ... uh...

disturbance, the Doberman.

So, that.

Well, don't blame the dog.

I mean he is just unhappy being chained up all day.

No one is blaming the dogs.

The owner is blaming you and thinking of oressing charges.

Rusty, the owner, thinks that you changed the dog somehow.

Oh yeah, I did.

Oh!

Oh, I had a talk with him.

You talk with Rusty?

No. With the dog.

Oh!

And what exactly did you say?

Well, I told him he was a good dog

That and his master was a beast.

But I didn't want the children to hear, so I whispered...

Children?

Yeah the dog got loose and chase them into my yard.

Okay, the children was in your property?

That's right.

Sure, Rusty didn't tell me that.

That little girl Lori scraped her knee, so I treated...

Lori?

She has a brother named Brandon?

Did you know them?

Yeah, I know them.

They are my kids.

They didn't tell me about this.

Well, they probably didn't want it on their police record.

Sure that thay have told their mom.

No...

No, their mom... their mother died three years ago.

Oh, I'm so sorry.

They are wonderful kids.

I know, thanks.

Would you like the tea now?

Or coffee? Because I know cops drink coffee with donuts.

Dozens of them. We also wear those big dark glasses

so nobody knows what we were thinking.

Right.

Well, maybe another time.

Okay. - Thanks.

Sure.

Drop by anytime neighbor.

Or come see my new shop.

Shop?

Yeah, I openning a small shop on Third and Main.

When?

Ah, what today? - Tuesday.

A week from tomorrow.

My ad is on the paper.

Well, you are taking on a lot.

I like the challenge.

Well...

See you later, Chief Russell.

Jake

Call me Jake.

Everybody calls me Jake.

Well, I guess it's lucky it's your name.

It's a trick.

One trick.

Bye.

How is it going?

Intense. Almost as intense as

Being chase by a dog over at Grey House.

Do you want to tell me about that?

Not really.

So I hear you want to learn how to fight.

It was nothing.

Somebody bothering you?

Just forget about it.

If you have a problem with somebody, you know you can talk to me about it

Okay, when you are ready to talk,

I am here ready for you, okay?

Trying to hide from me, dweeb?

Hand it over.

This is all of it?

Everything.

Good. See you tomorrow, you little creep.

Jake, good morning. - Look at this place.

It was vacant. It was boarded up.

I've been working on the inside since I got here?

But still!

Well, if you made up your mind you want something,

all the obstacles seem to vanish.

It got a lot of interesting things.

Now, all I need are customers.

Herbs?

Oh, they are perfectly legal, officer.

You are not under investigation.

I like the masks.

Thanks, they are from my travels.

Travel a lot?

Life is a journey, not a destination.

I traveled a lot.

I mean, my parents moved around a lot.

Army brat,

I swore when I get married, I stay at one place. Just for the kids.

Uhmm!

Not every dad gives his daughter a big hug

before he leaves for work.

She told you that? - No, jasmine.

Your daughter loves to put it on.

Oh, I cannot even smell it.

Yeah, it's a beautiful scent.

My wife's favorite.

You must miss her very much.

Here? Ah... take a look at this.

Wow!

That clear your sinus? - A little more than that.

How much? - $ 5.

Satisfaction Guaranteed.

It's a bargain.

Well, my first customer.

Thanks.

Well..

Good luck with the shop, Ms. Nightingale.

Cassie.

Cassie. - Uh-huh.

Cassie.

Ahh!

And the left is the Grey house.

So named because of its Original owner

Elizabeth Merriwick was fond of wearing gray.

Now as you can see the house is suffering decades of neglect.

Another example for Middletown's motto: looking to the future,

building on the past.

Well, moving right along.

Maybe they like to hear the legend of the Grey lady.

It's just a local legend... eh...

Popular with school children and... the deluded.

Apparently, she married some sailor who hoisted anchor

and left it a languish and perish nearly a century ago,

Such a depressing story.

His name was Captain Charles Hamlet,

splendid in his naval uniform.

It was love at first sight.

They spent two passionate months together

until he was called to duty and never to return.

But every night for 28 years, Elizabeth kept a light

burning in the window. Until one night,

the light went out.

and Elizabeth was found dead of a heartbroken heart.

Anyway, that's one version.

Hello, Mrs. Tinsdale.

And hi everyone, I'm Cassie Nightingale...

owner of the Grey House.

Oh!

Wiuld you like to go inside for a tour?

We're on a very tight schedule.

Well, the invitation is open, any time.

And if you like, you can stop by my new shop,

on Maine, the Bell, Book and Candle.

Your shop? - What do you sell?

Infinite possibilities.

And... moving right along.

Come on ladies.

Thank you, it was wonderful.

Nancy!

Hello, Lori.

Sorry, I didn't mean to scare you.

I... I am not scared.

How is your knee doing?

It is all better.

Is the dog stop bothering you anymore, has he?

No.

Can you... - Can I what?

Can you do something about monsters?

Monsters bothering you, Lori?

Can you make them go away, like you make the dog go away.

When are they bothering you?

At night.

I see.

Monsters is a little bit tricky than dogs,

They really can't hurt you, but they make you think they can.

I have something inside my house.

You know what this is?

It is called a dream catcher.

this is a special one, last owned by a Scottish Shaman.

The webbing captures bad dreams while letting good dreams

pass through and trickling down the feathers.

You need to hang this over your bed.

Maybe your father can help you do it.

My grandpa will do it. - Your grandpa?

He helps to take care of us.

He lives with us since...

Well, after you put this over your bed,

I need you to do something very important.

Here.

You musn't under any circumstances

dream of bunnies tonight.

Bunnies?

That's right, I can not emphasize this enough,

You must not dream about soft, furry, cute, little bunny rabbits.

But how can I not dream about bunnies?

I can not control my dreams.

Say to yourself over and over:

"I'll not dream of bunnies." "I'll not dream of bunnies."

"Bunnies stay away."

I will not dream of bunnies. - That's it.

I will not dream of bunnies.

- Now you are getting it. Just keep saying that. - I will not dream of bunnies.

I will not dream of bunnies.

Cassie.

Jake.

Hey, I just want to say thank you for helping with the dog.

What is this?

They are almond cookies dipped in milk chocolate

that called Harvest Moon

Hi, I'm Derek Sanders, another half of the Middleton police force.

Hi, Derek, Cassie Nightingale.

Cookie?

Thanks.

Sweet.

An old family recipe.

Always cooking up something.

So, how is the shop?

Uh, still slow.

Even with the ad.

Well, I should... probably get going

Because you never know when a bus load of cosmic seekers

might stop by town.

Well, give it time, people just need to get to know you.

Yeah, I want to get to know them.

Enjoy.

Cassie.

You, uh... didn't have to bake cookies.

Well, I am more than happy to clear up that little mystery with the wounded dog.

What is with this door?

You've a magic touch.

Depends on what I am trying to open.

Take a lot those pretty kids, eh?

I'll just wait for Derek to get off duty.

Don't wait too long.

Best serve them warm.

That is the witch I am hearing about?

She is... different.

She's different alright.

Hi there

Hi. - Hello.

Can I help you find something?

I'm just looking, thank you.

Oh, you... you're with the group?

Yeah, that's right.

I'm Nancy, Nancy Perkins.

Cassie Nightingale. - Hi.

I work just a few doors down at the travel agency.

Oh, pleasure to meet you.

Who are these ladies, anyway?

Business people, mostly from of the town.

Uhm, like me.

Martha has a vision for Middletown.

The town has been struggling ever since the plant close.

She is a... visionary?

This are wonderful!

Essential oils, flower essences,

I am very much into aromatherapy.

Ah!

This one smells like... sesame balm?

That one... uhm... aphrodisiac, my own mixture.

You.. you are joking?

Oh, no!

Put a few drops in your husband's collar

before dinner time and by dessert

He is primed and ready to go,

Shall we say - Ah!

I mean, does it really work?

Why don't you gve it a shot?

If it doesn't, I give you your money back.

Oh, no, no. I don't need it.

I am not suggesting you do, just consider it a fun little experiment.

Oh,... okay.

Great, $5. - Thank you.

Now to get the full effect, you should put a few drops

in some candles and have them burning at the dinner table.

Do you have children? - No.

We tried, but...

Oh, well, then you don't have to worry about any mouth to Grandma.

Let me know how things turn out.

I will. Thank you.

Martha!

Afternoon, Nancy.

Well, what have you here?

It's just... uh... a little... something for my home.

Mrs. Tinsdale, please, come in.

Excuse me.

Just heard about your revitalization plans.

Middletown is a special place and it attracts a special sort of person.

Oh, thank you, I love it here?

Umph, this town has a gracious kind of beauty

and we work very, very hard to keep it that way.

We hold tight to our traditions here in Middletown.

Sometimes, if you have too tight for what you have,

you end up choking it.

Umph!

Is there something in particular that you are looking for?

What is this?

Oh, Celtic symbols from old world, very fashionable.

They look like symbols use in witchcraft.

I don't like what I see here. Ms. Nightingale.

It is a magnet.

Touch it to your forehead, it aligns your polarity.

Clarify your vision.

I have an optometrist, Ms. Nightingale.

Now... it is said to bring inner peace... Ah!... Ah!... Ah!

Mrs. Tinsdale! Are you alright?

Get off me.

I had had it up to here, with your... masks.

Oh, what brings you home so early?

Cookies.

Nice.

Go ahead, take two.

Daddy! - Hi, honey.

Cookies. Can I have one?

Ah, you just brush your teeth.

No, go ahead.

But brush it again after.

And you should go to O'Malley tonight.

Come on, you used to love it to go down there and sing old songs.

No, now I think I'm just going ahead to bed..

Do you feeling alright?

Yeah, I'm fine. Just a little tired.

I'll see you in the morning.

I will not dream of bunnies.

What?

I will not dream of bunnies.

Okay.

Where did you get this?

Cassie gave it to me.

It is a dream catcher.

It catches the bad dreams and only let the good dreams get through.

When did you see Ms. Nightingale?

Today, I went over to the Grey House, all by myself.

She is very nice, Daddy.

Honey, you shouldn't border her she got things to do.

Okay.

Good night.

Good night, Daddy

I will not dream of bunnies.

Martha.

Why aren't you on duty?

We changed the schedule.

Well, I visited her Little Shop of Horrors today

and when I politely suggested that some of her merchandise might not be appropriate

for Middletown, she pushed me over a display.

You can't be serious.

I want you to arrest Cassie Nightingale.

Walter.

Jake.

What are you doing here?

Mr. Cobb used to build houses.

He knows wiring, plumbing, wood work,

He knows it all.

He is helping me to fix this place up.

Well, for exchange for a place to stay.

Good night, folks.

He is God send.

Of course I believe that the right person always show up

when you need them most.

I did not recognize him.

I almost did not recognize you without the gun and badge.

I'm afraid this isn't a social call.

Oh!

Cassie, this incident today at your shop with Mrs. Tinsdale.

She did take a tumble over one of my displays.

She's alright?

Well, depends on your definition of alright.

She wants to file assualt charges.

Assault?

Yes.

Cassie, Martha is the mayor's wife.

You know, she can cause real trouble for you.

What should I do?

Well, you might have to come down to the station to make a statement.

You might.

Until then, try not to worry.

Tell me some good news, then.

Uhm.

I got home early tonight.

With the cookies.

Yeah, what they think?

Lori was very happy.

She liked the cookies too.

I'll hide that wine with Walter around.

Oh, I am not worry about Walter.

You're very trusting.

I take it as a compliment.

Uh, need any help?

Nah, I get it.

Looks good.

Good morning, Dad?

Hey, honey.

How did you sleep last night?

I didn't hear a sound.

What? What is the matter?

I dreamed about bunnies, all night long.

Bunnies.

They were everywhere.

Not monsters.

There were no monsters. - So, that was good, right?

She did it!

She really did it.

She made the monsters go away.

You mean that dream catcher thing really works?

It is true, she is a witch.

A real live witch.

A witch?

But she is a good witch.

Okay.

Get ready for school.

No more monsters.

You know this woman, our new neighbor down the street?

Oh, yeah. Oh yeah.

Hey, Brandon.

What can I help you?

You got rid of Lori monsters.

Ah, I'm glad that they are gone, but...

Lori got rid of them by herself.

But you can do magic, right?

Everybody can do magic, Brandon.

I need something big.

Like what?

I need someone to turn into a frog.

Permanently?

At least to the end of the school year.

Uhm... well...

How about a goat instead?

Contrary to popular belief,

it is hard to shrink someone to the size of a frog.

You can actually do this?

Who is this person anyway?

His name is Kyle.

He is a bully.

Don't anyone?

No.

At least not to me

I see.

So... then... this goat - frog thing is flexible as long as

he turns into something less threaten.

Yeah, I guess.

Not going to be easy, but I need your help.

My Help?

Inorder for this to work, I need you to do four things:

First, you must keep this crystal with you.

Second, go to Kyle's home and must remain at least 5 minutes.

Third, you have to introduce Kyle to your father.

And finally, Kyle must touch this crystal.

And you need to return it to me.

How...

How am I supposed to do all that?

No. I don't make the rules.

I realize that is going to take some courage.

Okay.

I'll try.

I'll be waiting for the crystal.

Mr. Mayor, I was just about to call you.

Can you charge her?

Mr. Mayor, there is not enough evidence to support Martha's allegations.

It is her word against Miss Nightingale.

Marta is not going to be very happy to hear this.

And when Martha is not happy... I'm not happy.

I can't change the facts.

I want you to find out anything you can

about this Cassandra Nightingale.

The ownership of the Grey House has always been murky.

Now the developers are interested in the property,

She arrives one day, out of the blue

with the deed.

You don't find that a little suspicious?

It... It is unusual.

Jake, this is a critical time for this town.

We want Middletown to appeal to new investors.

Solid business people who pay taxes.

Taxes to help us to meet the city's payroll,

which include your salary.

Mr. Mayor... - No...

All I asking is to do a little digging.

Aren't you a little curious about her?

I am.

Do you got any money? - No.

Do not lie to me, boy. - I don't have any.

Yeah, check your pockets.

Come on, empty your pockets.

What do you doing here? Punk.

Do you follow me here? You are soon dead.

I don.t want to fight.

Go on, you can throw the first punch.

What is the matter? Scared?

Scared, little chicken?

I am not going to fight you. - Then why are you here?

I... just thought... maybe...

We can hang out for a while. - What?

Yeah, may be go inside and play some video games or something?

Do you think I want to hung out with a loser like you?

Get lost.

What I have ever do to you?

My dad never gives me lunch money.

Not once!

Spent all his money on booze.

What about your mom? - She ran off when I was 6?.

Why don't we... we can go to my house. - What?

I got video games.

Some cool ones.

You are either the stupidest dweeb I ever met.

Well, you got some guts after all.

Whatever.

Jake, the background check on Miss Nightingale.

What do you find?

Search every possible database and apparently

this woman doesn't exist.

Local Police, State, FBI?

And Interpol. Not even a parking ticket.

Birth records, military records, nothing.

She has a deed to the house.

She claims it was given to her. - But who? There gotta be be something.

Well, I did found a Cass Nightingale.

She was a New Zealand top female bodybuilder in 1987.

No, I don't think so.

Jake, the only thing we know for sure

is that Cassandra Nightingale's name

is not Cassandra Nightingale

What about the ad she ran? There is a very good picture of her.

This paper is from two weeks ago.

So? You still look the same.

I mean, since when do ever keep a newspaper past noon?

Just scan the photo.

Run it against the missing person database.

Look, I got a better idea.

Why don't you go over there and talk to her?

Oh! I got you!

Yes - Hey, Brandon.

Hey, Dad.

This is Kyle, someone I know from school.

Hi Kyle? - Hey.

Is that alright if he stay for supper?

Sure, I should call his parents. - No.

I will call.

Okay.

May be better if I do.

No, he doesn't like us giving out his number.

I'll take care of it.

Okay.

Hey, why don't I order a pizza? - Yeah, it would be great.

Okay.

You know what? You got a cool dad.

Well, how is the pizza, boy?

Pretty good, thanks Dad.

OK Can I talk to you a sec?

Sure.

Is something going on with Kyle?

Do you know his parents?

Maybe it's nothing.

Well, I think...

I think... I think Kyle's dad beat him..

Beat him, how?

Kyle, he... he doesn't has a mother here.

His dad is always screaming at him.

He does not has anything to eat.

I think... I think he even hurts him.

Maybe he is willing to talk to me?

I dunno.

I will try to convince him. - Okay.

I'll do something about it.

I promise.

Thanks, Dad? - Alright.

Oh, can you tell Cassie you met Kyle.

Why?

She said that you needed to meet him.

Nancy.

Oh, you look positively growing.

Do you have any more of that oil?

You can't be out already?

No, no, I just want to make sure that I have plenty on hand.

Oh, yeah.

The Oil may help a little, but...

don't downplay you role on it.

It is like a second honeymoon and it is as beautiful as the first.

Just promise me, you'll give a romantic break, every now and then.

I think he is enjoying it too. - Oh, I'm sure he is.

Thank you.

Oh, excuse me.

Jake. - Hi.

Martha dropped the charges.

She has no case.

Oh, that's great news, isn't it?

Thank you, Jake, you are a miracle worker.

I think you are the one working miracles.

I had a talk with Brandon last night.

Looks like you had. something to do with it.

I plead the fifth, I know my rights.

And Lori is sleeping like... a little girl should.

It is great news.

Who are you?

What do you mean?

Where are you from?

Well, I am from all over. How far back do you want to go?

Were you born October 24, 19...

Oh, Jake, don't ask a lady questions like that.

Your name is not Cassandra Nightingale, isn't it?

This is my name.

You're so good of helping eveyone though why can't you?

My parents were performers.

They traveled all over Europe. It was a magical time.

They died in a car crash outside Zurich.

Then I was sent to a foster family back in the U.S.

It must have been hard.

They were so straight to me.

They killed the magic.

So I ran away and I made sure that no one will ever find me again.

And you have been ever since.

Not running.

Experiencing new places.

Like Middletown?

Hey.

If you like new places,

There's a fun restaurant on route 20 and...

No, you have been to Europe, you probably think this is...

It's a date.

Yeah Friday at 7? - Let's make it 7:20.

Uh... 7:20? - Yeah.

That way, I pretend it's seven and I'll be there on time.

Okay. - Okay.

- Uh... good. - Yeah.

Uh, thanks.

Bye, I mean... See you then.

Ahh!

I will not dream about Jake Russell.

She's scaring every last hope

Her black magic shop is a dagger

through the heart of our lovely business district.

Now if the police won't do anything about it, then

We as citizens must take action.

Martha.

Don't think you are judging

Ms. Nightingale just a little too harsely.

These are the dark arts she is practicing.

And selling well under our noses.

You know, Nancy, perhaps

you could understand the gravity of the situation,

if you too have children to protect.

My own two sons, Dillon and Michael, tell me

that at school, they call her "The Witch Woman".

And for very good reasons. - Is this true?

She makes strange potions, she converses the animals

And she that drunken Walter Cobb living under the same roof with her.

Now, is this really the sort of thing that we want here in Middletown?

No. - Absolutely not..

I don't.

Good.

So let's show her, exactly how we feel.

Oh! Can I help you?

I just wanna to meet the lady who is the talk of my household.

I'm George O'Hanrahn, Orient Brandon's Grandfather.

Oh, grandpa, it's so nice to meet you. I'm Cassie Nightingale.

I... I know who you are.

Oh, George, don't believe everything what you hear.

The Bell, Book and Candle, interesting.

I think I have something inside that you might like.

Oh!

A shamrock, from the emerald Isle.

No. How did you know I'm from the old sod.

It was the name of O'Hanrahn or my devilish good looks?

Oh, just a lucky guess.

My grandfather was Connie Clairman.

Lived a stone throw from the cliffs of Moher.

I always wanted to stand on those cliffs.

Oh, and why don't you?

Go back time.

At first, we could not afford it.

Then, my little girl Jenny came along

and then... we really could not afford it.

And then... there's always sensible reason.

Oh George, never do the sensible thing.

Getting old.

Sure beats the alternative.

Do youself a favor?

Hide this away.

Bring it up again when there's a full moon.

The full moon? - Yes.

That is the time to reconsider your impossible dreams.

How much for that? - Oh, no! It's a gift.

You know I couldn't.

Promise me, you would do it.

Okay, thank you.

Important city council meeting.

Please come and voice your concern at the meeting.

Important city council meeting in two weeks.

Please come and voice your concern.

Bell, Book and Candle is a black magic store and must be close down.

Please come and voice you concern at the meeting.

Have you seen this?

You are not going to let the old bitties on the citizens committee

do this to Ms. Nightingale?

Are you? Are you?

She doesn't deserve this.

So, are you falling for her spell too?

Nothing of the sort.

Oh, about dinner.

It's stew and cabbage. - Actually, I... I... gotta a

Working again, eh?

No, I got a casual dinner.

I think... just to thank Ms. Nightingale

for all she has done.

What do you think about that?

Hah hah... hah hah. I think it's a grand idea.

Thank you very much, sir.

Thank you.

Excuse me, madam, may I have a little of your time?

Sign the petition.

Stop the Bell, Book and Candle.

Voice your concern with the city council.

on November the first.

I'll think about it.

Well, thank you for your time.

Martha.

What are you doing?

Exercising my rights as a citizen.

What about her rights?

Well, you won't do anything, so you leave me no choice.

What do you hope to accomplish?

Article 237 of the City's Ordinance, stated and I quote:

"said business shown not to be in the best interest of the community,

its licence can be revoked."

Uhm, and who decides that?

Well, concerned citizens of Middletown. Clearly you're not one of them,

can you step aside.

Martha, you are obstructing the sidewalk and the entrance of that store.

Go ahead, arrest me. - Oh!

My campaign can use the free publicity.

Help! Police brutality.

Oh!

Hmmm! Hum!

Oh! - Why didn't you call?

There was nothing you can do.

Not this time.

Mrs. Tinsdale is a royal pain.

Middletown is a lovely place, but I wonder...

if it is the right place for me?

If the community doesn't want me...

The Citizens League is not the community.

Several people has stopped to sign her petition?

Which people?

You can not let these busy bodies

running you out of town.

There have their reasons for wanting me to go.

So, I wonder...

do I have a good reason to stay?

Well.. there is your home...

your business...

all the work you've done...

You can't leave now.

About tonight, I... I think we should cancel.

You are the Chief of Police. You can't appear to taking sides.

I am a citizen too. - Who works for the mayor.

I don't want you losing your job over a thank you dinner.

Besides, you already said thank you to me many times.

Cassie...

I'll close up early, okay.

Say hi to the kids.

Good night.

Close the Bell, Book and Candle, sign our petition.

Take your view known to the city council.

Come over here right now. Sign this.

As parents, you must know how important this is.

Hello, could you sign our petition?

Please sign our petition.

Close Bell, Book and Candle.

Excuse me. Have you signed our petition?

Dad - Hey, Brandon.

Kyle was not in school today.

What if something happened? - Everything will be fine

He is with his grandmother in Newton.

Does he going to be okay? - He is going to be alright.

You did the right thing telling me.

Thanks for the help, Dad.

Sure.

Hey.

What is this?

Uh, Cassie gave it to me,

Irish Isles.

It's an old Irish song going through my head.

It drives me nuts and don't know how to stop it.

Well, why don't you try listen in a different music?

I don't believe it.

Shouldn't you getting ready? Don't you have a dinner date?

Oh, change of plans.

But you are still going to see her.

I don't think so.

Oh, look, Jake...

it's time you move on with your life. It's time we all do.

Well, I just think with everything that's going on in the community, maybe...

Stop making excuses!

And there's a full moon overhead.

Follow me as a Celtic.

Walk in a Celtic way.

What does that mean?

Sometimes you really get my Irish up, you know that?

You still want to go out for dinner?

Well, I thought we have decided...

No, I decided I don't care what people think.

Well, then, in that case, do you want to come in?

I think I have the perfect solution.

Why don't we dine in?

I don't want you to have to cook.

Oh, no, I love to cook. Haven't you noticed? I'm always cooking.

What's this?

You really treat Walter well.

No, Walter out for the evening.

Oh!

Oh!

Well, I was hoping you might stop by.

How could you know?

Sometimes you just have to believe to take a chance.

Are you ready to take the chance, Jake?

I think I already have.

Well, why don't you open the wine, and I'll get the first course.

Suellen Brok. - What?

You wanted to know my name, what my parents gave me.

Oh!

So do you want me to call you Sue?

No. - Good.

You know, you seem more like a Cassandra to me

Definitely a Nightingale.

You like to be a mystery, don't you?

A little mystery keeps things interesting.

I am interested.

I know a few facts, but I don't know you that well.

I'd like to. - I don't know,

it is your turn.

Tell me something about you that I don't know.

Okay, let's see...

when I was 13,

I broke into the bell tower and replace the cassette,

and at noon when the chime are supposed to play,

th whole town heard my tape, Led Zeppelin's Whole Lot of Love.

Uhm, I'm telling the police.

After a life of crime,

running on a lam, I decided I've to clean up my act.

That's when I decided to bring Jenny and the... Jenny and the kids here.

There was thr plan.

The plans changed.

So how did you get here?

She brought me here?

Jake, I am the great-granddaughter and sole surviving heir of

Isabel Merryweek, The Grey Lady.

What's left in the family finally comes home.

To The Grey Lady.

When I found out I had property here in Middletown, I...

I want it a sign to come here and settle down.

Since you got here, you got nothing but trouble.

I dunno. That's is not all true.

Cassie, the city council meeting is the day after Halloween.

It's trully blowing up to be a storm.

Oh, but I love storms.

Somehow, it doesn't surprised me.

Well, no more about it, not tonight.

Uhmm! - Your perfume is nice.

Uhmm, you notice?

I liked it.

It worked.

You always seem to give people exactly what they need.

What do you need?

What do I need?

A home.

You've a home.

A home is more than a house, Jake.

It is a place where people... accept me as I am.

Hmph! It is a surprise how hard that's been for me to find.

You are so beautiful.

Thank you.

Midnight.

My favorite time of day.

Trick or Treat?

Thank you.

I really have to wear this?

You need to get in the spirit of things, Get in touch with your inner child.

Inner child, is about to have a tantrum.

And what about you? What are going to wear?

Don't you recognize this is the Grey Lady?

Oh, trick or trickers. Go wait for it.

And remember double treat to anyone

brave enough to trick or treat at the Grey House.

Trick or Treat?

Are you scare of this pearly white.

Walk you off the plank in tip of my sword

to feed you to the sharks.

Crush your bones to powder with the use of a cannon ball.

I think you're a little too realistic.

Happens,. Come in, come in.

Oh, And what are you supposed to be? - A witch.

She insisted.

Do not know that witches are not very popular around here?

I do not care. I want be a witch when I grow up.

Oh, my!

Ahh...

Oh.. Jake is running a little late.

I know who you are.

You are the Grey Lady.

Yes, I have come to haunt the party, uuuhhh.

Did you tell your freinds at school,

how many of them will come?

I don't think anybody is going to come.

Ehy not?

Oh, they wanted to... but... their parents wouldn't let them.

Oh, I see.

Well, I hope you're hungry,

because we have plenty of treats.

Cassie. - Yes, Lori.

Now that I got rid of the Monsters,

How do I get rid of the Bunnies?

I warn you not to dream about them.

I couldn't help it.

The only way to get rid of dream bunnies,

is to have them chased by dream puppies.

Puppies?

Wiggling, face licking pupplies.

No.

I will not dream of puppies.

Uhm, I'll get it.

Nancy. - I heard there's a party?

Yes, come in. - Thank you.

Cassie, this is my husband, Bill. - It's a pleasure to meet you.

Pleasure to meet you.

I got an incredible story.

I am pregnant.

What? So wonderful!

I can't believe it, we have trying for so long.

We've given up hoe.

I'm so happy for you.

I love you. - I love you too.

Ah, guys.

Oh. - Oh! I am sorry.

Honey, why don't you head on it. Be right back.

Don't be long. - I miss you.

Did you have anything to do with this?

Well, I have been accused of a lot of things,

but not to getting someone pregnant.

I think... I think maybe your husband was the culprit.

Yeah, my doctor was so pessimistic.

Oh well, sometimes it is just a matter of relaxing and letting nature find their way.

So it wasn't magic?

Oh, it was definitely magic.

Hi, George, here it is, your itinerary for Ireland.

It should be quite a trip.

To the cliffs of Moher.

Oh, let me ask you a question.

Why do you insisted that I book your flight during a full moon?

Uh... better runway visibility.

This will show her.

Come on, let's go.

It was awesome.

Hey! Police!

Stop!

Trick or treat, dweebl. - Kyle!

Awh! You didn't you can get rid of me that easy

I thought you two might want to catch up.

Thanks, Dad.

So where's the party?

Oh, in here.

Everyone, this is my friend Kyle.

Kyle, this is everyone.

Hi!

Hey, Kyle!

Thanks, Brandon.

Nachos!

Jake. - Sorry I'm late.

Where is your costume?

I am pretending to be a Police Chief.

I don't think I am fooling anyone.

Here. I don't need this anymore.

And... cancel the goat.

I got you.

Not the biggest turnout.

Well, these are the people that matter most.

I think we need more candles. Jake, will you help me?

Of course.

Where are they?

There be some in the top shelf.

These two? - Oh yeah, these are good.

Uhm...

There's something that I've to tell you.

Thanks to Martha and her munions

with the council meeting tomorrow, I mean

let's face it, we are not going to win.

You have friends, we will stand up for you.

That's not enough.

So what are you saying?

I have to close the business.

No, Cassie. - I don't have a choice.

So what'll you do?

I'll have to sell the Grey House.

Sure the city would make an offer just to get rid of me

No. You said getting that deed is a good sign.

Well, maybe I misread the sign.

I think I've to move on.

No!

You can't leave.

Lori...

Use your power to change their minds.

I think you have a wrong idea about me.

But... you are a witch.

Lori...

Who said I'm a witch?

You do magic.

I don't want you to go.

Well, I don't think I have a choice.

You came out of nowhere and disappears just as fast.

Hi honey, I need a moment with Cassie.

Thank you.

Jake, the situation is what it is.

I'm... I'm just being a realist.

You of all people should appreciate that.

You've been running for so long, You don't know how to stop.

I will stop.

I want to stay.

But I am afraid.

You got to find some of that courage that you've given to so many of us.

Jake, it's Derek over.

Go ahead, Derek.

Cassie's shop has been vandalized. I caught the boys who did it.

You better get down here.

I'm on my way.

Derek,

Michael and Dillon? - Caught them red handed.

They did a real job on your shop.

Did you called the... - Oh, yeah.

I don't believe it.

You know how much trouble you two are in?

You are the one who is going to be in trouble.

Once my dad gets here - Yeah.

Oh, you poor things, sweetie!

Put in the back of a squad car

like common criminals?

That's right, Martha.

Well, what are they doing here?

Well, they will be booked and then go in front of a judge

in juvenile court.

You can't do that.

They broke the law and they vandalize Cassie's shop.

Tom, do something. Don't let him do that.

Surely we can work something out.

No. I'm sorry Mr. Mayor, for you and your boys.

Jake. Stop for a minute. Think

You know and I know what it means if you go through with it.

I know what this means. I know exactly what it means.

Ms..Nightingale didn't do anything wrong.

You boys did, because someone put it in their heads

that everbody in this town needs to act the same and

looks the same, but Cassie is different.

And all the better for it.

Aren't you going to let him talk to you that way?

You don't belong here. Just get on your broom and get out.

Have you heard? Put these two in a cell.

They need a quiet time to think about what they done wrong.

Tom!

Wait a minute.

I am not pressing charges.

You don't have to protect me, Cassie.

It is about the boys.

I do not want their lives ruined over this.

Just let them go, Jake, I've made up my mind.

You two boys go wait in my car.

Well, done of this would have happened,

if not for that vile shop of yours. The sooner we rid of it the better.

Martha...

This crazy vendetta of yours have turned our two boys into

a couple of juvenile delinquents and it stops here

Ms. Nightingale... I'm equally at fault in all of this.

I apologize. My boys are going back

to your shop and fix the damage... - What

And fix the damage they done.

Ms. Tinsdale will pay you for any additional damages.

But, Tom.. - Marta, not another word.

Thank you.

You could be the next mayor.

Of course there's a residency. You have to stick sround for a couple of years.

- And I do not want to be a myor, just want... - A real home.

With people who love you like you are.

Like are.

You've cast quite a spell, Chief Russell

Does that mean you are staying?

That's it.

Well, see, seem to have some friends in Middletown, after all.

How is it going?

Well, these boys have a future in renovation.

Do you want to check out the damage?

Hey, Brandon.

How you doing, Dad? - Good.

Well, it doesn't look so bad.

Oh, Jake, don't handle broken glass.

Right. You need a broom...

That broom! How did it get here?

Uh, somebody must have brought it.

No. The door was locked.

And you haven't been here since this... so...

There must be a perfect logical explanation.

Sure looks like a witch's broom.

Uhm, what are you implying?

You're not a witch, are you?

Silly.
