[WOMAN] If you go back

far enough I reckon everyone

must be related to a witch.

Don't call her a witch.

Why not, everyone else does.

In any case, witches were

just poor demented women

that got persecuted.

You think.

Of course.

It's not like they could

actually do anything.

You don't believe in spells then?

Of course not.

So, it wouldn't bother

you if I was to do this?

Stop it.

(CAT MEOWING)

That's horrible.

Cassie please that's not funny.

It can't hurt it, can

it, it's not real, is it.

- Stop it!

- Cassie!

Have you seen Esther?

Christ, Lindsey, nearly died there.

Oh sorry, have you though?

- Have we what?

- Seen Esther?

Hello Esther, did Lindsey

leave the door open again?

Come on I'd better take

you back, they'll be worried

about you.

Nevermind, she can't

have gone far, bless her.

You shouldn't be on your own

you know, there's no telling

what might happen to a

girl on her own after dark.

No thanks.

(OMINOUS MUSIC)

- Do you want us to help?

- No, no, no, we'll find her.

She's a sweetie really,

just a little bit confused.

(FROLICKING MUSIC)

Are you sure you don't want us to help.

She's sure.

Don't worry, don't worry we'll find her.

It's the third time this

week, we ought to have

a tracking device set into her nighty.

Yeah...

- It's okay, she's here.

- Ah...

Esther whatever were you doing?

What are you doing in there?

(GROANING)

I can't do this, I can't we're not kids.

We should have a place of our own by now.

We could go back to mine.

(GIGGLING)

(ANTICIPATORY MUSIC)

[AMY] Sorry.

I thought I heard you come in.

I thought you said you were going out.

We decided not to

bother, your dad's got one

- of his tummies.

- (LAUGHING) Right.

See you in the morning then.

- Yeah night, Mom.

- Night, night Amy.

Night, night Ryan.

(LAUGHING)

Ah shit.

[MOTHER] I keep telling him it's all

the brownies he's eating.

Mom, about last night.

It can't be any good for

him but he won't listen.

Mom.

Mom, I was wondering...

When I'm in my room,

do you think you could?

Do you mind knocking,

I'm not trying to be funny or anything.

Here he is now, Amy

and I were just saying

you'd be much better off

with a proper breakfast.

This is a proper breakfast.

Mom, I was trying to say...

You'd never guess this

was non-stick, would you?

Or we can talk about it later.

See ya later love.

(ROCK MUSIC)

- Morning, all right?

- Good morning.

Yeah that looks great.

- It does, isn't it?

- Yeah.

- See you later.

- See ya.

- Morning Simon.

- Oh morning Amy.

Hah, PC Summers, if you don't mind.

- Sorry.

- I'm on duty now.

In my official capacity as

a police community support officer.

- Right.

- I know some people

might find it petty, but,

I believe it's important

to maintain the dignity of the

police service, at all times.

Of course, sorry Simon.

In the kingdom of fairies and dragons

(MUMBLING)

There was a light princess

and an evil dark lord

Who wanted to insert his mighty sword

(MUMBLING) across the line

(MUMBLING) very fine

The goblin king, he danced and sung

And the (GROANING)

(HUMMING)

- Sorry!

- Sorry.

Are you all right?

Yeah.

No I'm not...

What's happened?

It's Nathan, he stood me up last night,

- I thought he loved me.

- Nathan?

He wouldn't do that.

He was supposed to be at

the pub after work last night,

then we had to look for Esther,

and I forgot to text him

to say I'd be late.

And he didn't show, have you called him?

I'm trying but he's not answering,

I've left messages but nothing.
