The Good Witch

Derrick, it's Jake.

I'm parked at the corner of 3rd and Main.

I'm going out on foot patrol.

I don't know Jake.

It's a pretty rough neighborhood;

lots of little old ladies who know how to swing a purse.

Very funny.

Hello?

Hello?

Anybody there?

- Walter? - Hm?

Ah, Walter!

Come on. What are you doing out here?

They kicked me out of the motel.

Well you can't stay here Walter.

What am I gonna do?

Come on.

You can stay in the jail tonight

and tomorrow you gotta find a place to live.

You can't live in an alley.

Thanks Jake.

Thanks.

All right.

Okay. Come on. Can you get up?

Yeah.

Come on, put your arm on me here.

That's it.

George what are you doing up?

Lori's having nightmares again.

I stayed up to keep her company.

Again, huh?

I was hoping those were over.

Children have nightmares.

Yeah, but not like this.

It's been three years.

It started when Jenny...

it's been hard for all of us.

I miss my daughter too.

You know, I appreciate everything you've done,

but I can get some help in here, give you a break.

Don't worry about me.

Worry about your kids.

I mean every day.

Daddy.

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

The monsters are back.

Well I promise we're going to do something

about those monsters.

Can you sleep here?

Please?

Okay, I'm going to check on Brandon and then

I'll come back and sit with you for a while.

And if those monsters come around,

I'll arrest them.

You can't arrest monsters.

Everybody knows that.

Brandon why aren't you in bed?

I'm not tired.

It's a school night. Turn off the computer

and get to bed.

Brandon!

Listen I thought maybe

Saturday we'd go done to the park

and throw the ball around a bit. What do you think?

Whatever..

Okay, we'll talk about it tomorrow.

Come on, hurry up.

I'm tired.

I'll make you a deal:

I'll trade you your dream monsters for a real one.

What do you mean?

Never mind.

The Grey lady.

What?

I just saw the Grey lady.

- Where? - In the window up there.

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

You're just imagining it,

just like you imagine all your other monsters.

It was her.

The ghost of Grey house.

Whatever.

Come on, we're gonna be late.

But I really did see her. Wait.

Good morning Derrick.

What are you doing here so early?

My job.

- Something going on? - No.

I didn't think so.

I'm heading out...

Cruising the streets of Middleton.

That should take all of 10 minutes.

Well, I can't sit around here all day like you do.

Don't know it till you've tried it.

Mrs. Tinsdale.

- Chief 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 it's your responsibility to keep our streets safe.

Okay, I'll have a talk with him.

Oh, you need to do more than talk.

Anything else?

There's a rumor going around that someone

is occupying Grey house.

Grey house.

Who would want to live there?

Probably some little old lady with 15 cats.

Several members of the Citizen's League have

reported strange smells coming from the place.

Smells?

What kind of smells?

Chemical smells, which makes me wonder if someone hasn't

set up a drug lab.

A drug lab.

In Middleton?

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 Citizen's League,

it is my responsibility to keep apprised of all

developments in our community.

You're right.

I'll see you there.

Nosy old bat.

I think she wants to be mayor more than her husband.

More like Emperor.

Come on Lori.

I'm sure it's nothing,

- but just stay behind me. - Gladly.

Seems pretty quiet.

Mrs. Perkins saw lights switch off last night.

Police department.

Hello?

Hello?

Hello?

Anybody back there?

Welcome.

Your name please?

Cassandra Nightingale.

Do you... ?

Do you reside on these premises?

I live here, if that's what you mean.

You... you own Grey house?

Grey house?

This residence.

Is that what you call it, Grey house? Hm.

Yeah, I like the vibe.

This property is yours?

Well that's what it says on the deed.

I didn't realize that anyone had moved in.

It's been empty for such a long, long time.

Ma'am,

I'm very sorry for walking into your home.

Miss.

Miss.

I'm Chief Russell, with the Middleton Police Department.

This is um...

Mrs. Martha Tinsdale.

Nice to meet you.

So you'll be living here by yourself.

Oh, no, no, I have Isis.

Isis?

Isis is your cat?

Not exactly, it's more of a mutual admiration society.

Yesterday downtown; was that

you that I saw walking into the alley?

Chief Russell,

how would I know what you saw yesterday?

Only you know what you saw yesterday.

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

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

Well, I assume

demolition and then new construction.

Well, I think it has character.

Character?

I see the beauty beneath the surface.

Miss Nightingale this community has standards.

I can sense that.

Martha.

My apologies.

I did see the Grey lady this morning.

- You've got to believe me. - I believe you.

- Whatever. - No you don't.

You're just saying that.

Just drop it will you?

What happened to the dog?

Okay, okay.

Here he comes!

I know, I know, you're a good dog.

It's your master that's the beast.

Now I want you to go home

and stop scaring those children half to death,

and I don't want to see that kind of behavior again.

All right?

Now go on.

Go.

How'd you do that?
