Original subtitles

I know rules are difficult with your condition.

I can discuss it with your mum and dad.

Addie, look.

Giving my autistic sister a makeover?

Take it down!

I won't.

Council meeting starts in a minute.

Audrey said she'd meet me right here.

Hey, Dad.

Thank you, Adeline, for that presentation.

Where would we find money for a witch memorial?

Motion denied!

Let the witches go.

We don't want another Battle of Killiecrankie, do we?

No.

It's started.

People turning on each other.

Giving names to the Witch Hunter.

Trying to save themselves by accusing others.

This is all very helpful, Mrs Ross.

Oh, and keep an eye on Elspeth Munro.

She's an uppity madam who think she's above the rest of us.

Thank you for coming in.

Audrey.

You...you didn't come to the meeting.

Hi.

And, uh, yeah.

No, erm...

I'm sorry.

Something sort of came up.

Oh. How did it go?

Terrible. They said no.

Oh, I'm so sorry, Addie.

No, I knew it would be like that.

All sort of cold and slippery feeling.

Like you can't get in, like glass.

You've got something in your hair.

Hold still.

Oh.

Elspeth Munro?

She lived here in the village.

I'm making a list.

Addie? Sh!

Nina's filming.

The way I see it, with the proper hydration,

you shouldn't need foundation at all.

"Your sister doesn't even look autistic."

OK.

Let's talk about the life-changing cream blush I picked up today.

I know, it's a lot.

My mum says it's the Battle of Killiecrankie all over again.

The battle of what now?

Oh, Keedie got fixated on this battle once.

That's the painting she'd go to see at the museum.

Pretty intense.

Anyway, here's the list.

I'm sorry about the handwriting.

Miss Murphy says it needs a lot of work.

I like it. It's distinctive.

So, these are all witches?

The were real women, Audrey.

Real people. Maggie wrote a lot about them.

She noticed things.

And this is where they lived?

Well, most of the buildings are gone, but some of the street names

have stayed the same.

You should show this to people.

No. This is just for me.

But all this stuff makes it personal. It'll make them care.

Make them understand.

Market Way. Hey, that's my road!

Let's go.

Oh. New friend?

No idea. It takes a while and it's quite confusing.

See, I thought Jenna was my friend, and look what happened there.

I'm Audrey.

Nice to meet you, Audrey. I'm...

..just her dad. Don't mind me.

You can see me, right?

I thought it was Keedie.

Oh, she said she'd be out for the day.

I wish you two could just say sorry.

She's the one who should be apologising.

Ba ba ba, ba ba ba, ba ba ba, ba!

On D! Da da da, da da da, da da da, da!

On G! Ga ga ga, ga ga ga, ga ga ga, ga!

Ga ga ga...

Carry on warming up. I won't be long.

You made it, finally.

When the secretary said Saturday, I...

Well, I thought it was a joke.

A joke? Well...

..who books a telling-off at the weekend, right?

This isn't a telling-off, Mrs Darrow.

I just want to help.

Erm, so, what do you think of Juniper?

It's so quiet.

Back home, there were always noises at night.

Cars, sirens,

people coming home late.

The silence here is so...

..loud.

Well, erm, Mr Moon sometimes gets drunk

and sings on our street corner at night,

which is quite loud.

If you like loud.

Oh...

Right, this way.

Elspeth Munro's dwelling was on the northerly edge of Market Way.

That's my house there. Hmm.

Looks pretty northerly to me.

It's a mess. But come in if you want.

Mum?

I don't think I'd like to move house.

We didn't really have time to think about it.

Mum said we were coming here, and...

..well, here we are.

I left my drawing pens.

My dad said he's going to send them when he gets round to it.

That's my mum. She grew up here.

Said it already feels like home.

Which is nice - for her.

Oh.

And your dad didn't come?

Uh, yeah...

Anyways, Elspeth. Right, yeah.

So, Maggie's family bought all their food

from Elspeth's stall in the market.

Her stuff was the best, and everyone knew it.

What went wrong?

Well, a man from the neighbouring village asked her to marry him.

I would make a good husband.

We're better as friends.

But Elspeth didn't need to marry anyone.

She was fine on her own.

Then the rumours started.

People stopped coming to her store.

Said that her milk was curdled and her meat never stayed fresh.

The farm started to fall apart.

She had to cut corners.

And then... someone got poisoned.

She was accused of witchcraft by her neighbour and arrested.

Just for trying to do her own thing.

Oh.

My mum always lights a candle to remember my gran on her birthday.

Maybe we could... I don't know.

We could light a candle to remember Elspeth tonight.

I don't know. It just feels right.

Doesn't it? Yeah.

Yeah, it does.

Maybe other people will want to light a candle

to remember the witches, too.

Candle for your witch?

Oh. No, thank you.

A candle for your witch? No, thank you.

Would you like a...? No, thank you.

She lived in your house and was accused of witchcraft.

Oh, not witches!

I've got this problem with cows coming into my back field.

Not today, thanks.

Come on!

Why do I even have to come?

Because if your silly little brain would stop getting things tangled,

we wouldn't have to be returning the uniform, would we?

Addie?

What on earth are you doing down there?

Did you know a witch used to live in your house?

What?

It's amazing, isn't it?

Were you spying on me?

Why would we spy on you?

So, I didn't get into the academy.

OK?

Big deal.

I've heard it's really competitive.

Yeah, it's for losers.

You'd fit right in.

Emily, this uniform won't return itself.

Oh, I saw your video on Nina's channel.

Nina said it got a lot of views.

Oh, yes.

And a lot of comments.

People can be so mean.

Can't they? Candle for your witch.

You seem cool, Audrey.

I get it.

It's hard coming to a new place.

You get one chance to pick the right friends.

A couple of wrong moves later, and you're selling candles

door to door with the local weirdo.

It's not too late.

OK, then.

Right, next stop is through the woods.

Adeline is such a unique child.

Unique is the word. Mm.

We're very proud of her. You should be.

And she has certainly been keeping me on my toes.

I realise her first day was a bit of a mess.

Adeline had a very strong reaction to the class topic.

Witches.

And since then, I've noticed some telltale signs of hyper fixation.

I've asked her to tone it down.

I'm just worried about what will happen next term

when we start a new topic.

Oh, I'm sure she'll be able to move on.

But would it not be better...

..kinder for her to be somewhere where there's time and space

for her to embrace her interests?

Uh...

There's a wonderful specialist school.

Just a few miles from here.

Addie wants to go here - with her friends, with Jenna.

We don't have the resources for yet another child with autism.

Autism isn't something you have.

It's something you ARE. She is.

Addie is dealing with a different neurological reality,

a cognitive difference.

She needs structure and support and kindness.

We want her to have a better school experience than our other daughter.

Well, you've made your position clear.

And my drama group are waiting.

Let's review things at the end of term, shall we?

I still haven't figured out whether to put Maggie

on the witch list or not.

Mr Patterson said there are gaps in the record.

She was definitely accused, but there was no trial.

Maybe it was vigilantes?

People taking the law into their own hands.

Maybe.

I want to know what happened to her really badly.

I'm just... scared of what I might find out.

Come on, let's do the last one.

Worry about Maggie another time.

Mistress Ross is in the jail giving names to the Witch Hunter.

Sh!

They've got Liz Dryden in the cells

and their man just arrested Elspeth Munro.

The pretty girl from the market?

Apparently, she's been trying to poison us all with black magic.

No...

What's going on?

Beggar, miss. Excuse me?

I can deal with it.

On your way!

I know what you're talking about.

I want to help.

What?

By making a turnip out of yourself in front of the council again?

At least I had the courage to speak up.

Well, meanwhile, the rest of us have the brains to keep quiet.

Does she always speak to you like this? Often.

You might want to find a new maid.

I'm glad she speaks her mind. We all should.

It's the only way we can fight this chaos.

Listen, there are others in the village who share our feelings.

Now, THAT really is a witch's house.

Who lived here?

Uh, Liz Dryden.

Mad Liz? Right.

She was a healer, but her neighbours made up all this stuff about her.

They said she would shapeshift into an owl and fly through the woods

looking for souls to enchant and lead to their doom. Oh...

Ah! Ah!

Come back here! What is that?

Ernest!

Ernest is a free-range tortoise.

He should be able to roam without being flattened by nosy children!

Sorry, Mrs Jensen. We won't trouble you again.

Wait.

You're the Darrow girl.

The one who was trying to get that memorial.

We haven't given up.

They won't ever say yes.

Why?

Because that's not a past to be proud of.

It's not pretty. It's not nice.

They like nice things here in Juniper.

Being nice is more important than being good.

Aren't they the same thing?

What do you think?

They're not the same.

You don't want to get on the wrong side of Juniper Council, believe me.

I'd give up now if I were you.

Good day.

So, this village definitely isn't into witches, huh?

Great to have that confirmed.

People always say I can't do things.

The doctor said I'd never speak.

The health care worker said I'd never be able to go

to school with "normal" children.

Even my parents,

the twins...

..they think I can't cope.

I know they mean well... but it doesn't change that.

And now everyone thinks I can't get this memorial.

But I know I can.

You can. I'll help.

What?

Well, it's just you said that last time,

and then you didn't come to the meeting.

And I know that you said something came up,

but you didn't say what...

Well...

Emily said it wasn't too late for you to make friends

with some "normal" kids, so...

Normal kids are boring.

I like you, Addie.

You're...

..unexpected.

So, does that mean we're friends?

Friends. Come here.

Oh...

Not much of a hugger, then.

I am.

With some people. Sometimes.

That's cool.

Right, I'm going to go and type this up.

Sorry, Maggie.

You're still a mystery.

I don't come to Nina's channel for stuff like this.

Look, I know autistic people, yeah?

They just flap their hands and do maths really fast.

That girl is weird, but she's NOT autistic.

Now do you see why I'm mad at her? Cos she knows.

She knows what people are like, especially online.

She knows how... ugly it gets.

She should never have exposed you to it. She just didn't think.

Well, she should have.

Please...

Please don't push her away.

I'm not pushing.

We're just both... moving in opposite directions.

Maybe it's for the best.

How did it go with Murphy?

Oh...

She's just so horribly... reasonable.

Are you sure we're doing the right thing?

I don't know if I can keep fighting like this.

And now Nina and Keedie are at each other's throats.

It'll settle, Bess.

It always does.

Are you expecting someone?

Are YOU?

I'll get it!

Bess, there's a male of the species at the front door!

I said I'd get it!

You left this at my house.

What was she doing at your house?

Revising.

Really hard.

I'm Frank, you see.

Nina's, uh, boyfriend.

Right.

We don't allow Nina to have boyfriends.

I'm just kidding.

She can have as many as she likes. Isn't that right, Bess?

Absolutely.

Although, I'm sure she's very happy with just the one - for now.

You'll stay for dinner?

Keedie, no sauce.

Addie, smooth sauce.

Nina!

Bess, James.

All'arrabbiata con James. Mwah!

Frank?

I'm fine with anything.

There you go, mate.

This is very nice.

Thank you, Frank.

Did you know about this little arrangement?

Yeah, of course. Can't hide anything in this village.

I wasn't hiding anything.

I feel cheated.

I mean, seems like a nice lad.

Then again, appearances can be deceiving.

More cheese? Thank you, yeah.

Addie, how was your day?

Erm...

What?

You were with Audrey, right?

Oh.

Erm, yes.

We've been making a witch list.

That sounds...

I'm sorry. What?

Oh. Erm...

It's a list of witches. Juniper had lots.

I thought we were going to let that go...

So, I've got 25 so far. Oh, maybe 26.

I don't know whether to include Maggie or not.

You see, she was accused of witchcraft, but there was no trial,

and no-one really knows what happened to her.

And there's nothing, really, in any books or online, so...

You want the census records.

They're in the university library.

Well, you can't just pop in to the university library, can you?

My dad works there. Really?

Really? James.

I could take you.

If that's OK?

I was going to head into town, anyway,

to get a certain someone a birthday present.

Wow, Frank. That's so kind of you!

Oh... See, I meant Nina, but, erm...

Oh. Uh, twins. Of course.

So, erm, plans?

You should do something together. You can have a party.

I-I don't think so.

Oh, I do love a party.

The girls prefer to celebrate separately.

No, but this is different. 16 is a big deal.

You change. Or people say you change.

I definitely did.

Went to bed a child and...

..woke up a man.

Come on, it'll be fun.

I don't think... I'm not really...

Please.

Keeds?

I'm in if you are.

Yes!

I'll DJ.

No.

They're nice.

They're embarrassing.

I like them.

I had fun.

See you tomorrow.

Elspeth Munro.

Jean Abbott.

Mary Campbell. Rue McCready.

Lillian Addy.

Susan Young.

Isabel Kemp.

Elizabeth Dryden.

Juliet Monkford.

Anne Wenchurch.

Beatrice Desford.

Louise Aldwick.

Alison Appleby.

And Maggie...

Whatever happened to you, I'm going to find out.

I promise.
