The Good Witch Page #7

Synopsis: Jake Russell, the friendly police chief in town so small initially worries about mysterious outsider heiress Cassandra 'Cassie' Nightingale, who moved into the house held to be haunted by the 'grey lady', and opens a strange gift shop full with attributes of occultism, soon causing the rumor she's a wicked witch. After Cassie kindly helps his brave son Brandon (and his sissy sister Lori) with a dog, bully Kyle -abused by his own poor dad- and their own fears, Jake soon makes friends with her, even romantically interested. Yet the 'chief' is professionally obliged to handle a flood of complaints and harassment started by the mayor's haughty wife, her busy bodies-bunch, and teenage brats. Finally Derek Sanders, Jakes's only deputy, hits on Cassie's hidden background.

all people should appreciate that.

You've been running so long

you don't know how to stop.

I want to stop.

I want to stay. But I'm afraid.

Well you've got to find

some of that courage

that you've given to so many of us.

Jake, it's Derrick. Over.

Go ahead Derrick.

Cassie's shop's been vandalized.

I caught the boys who did it.

You better get down here.

I'm on my way.

Derrick.

- Michael and Dylan?

- Yeah, I caught them red handed.

They did a real job on your shop.

Did you call uh... ?

Oh yeah.

I don't believe it.

Do you know how much

trouble you two are in?

You're the one who's 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?

They're going to be booked

and then they'll go in front

of a judge in juvenile court.

- You can't do that!

- The broke the law.

They vandalized Cassie's shop.

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

Surely we can work something out.

I'm sorry Mr. Mayor,

for you and your boys...

Jake, stop a minute and think.

You know and I know what it means

if you go through with this.

- Yeah, I know what this means.

I know exactly what it means.

Miss Nightingale didn't do anything wrong.

Your boys did, because someone

put in their heads that

everyone in this town

needs to act the same and look the same.

But Cassie is different and

we're all the better for it.

- evrilmemi altyaz -

Are you going to let

him talk to you that way?

You don't belong here. Just...

get on your broomstick and get out!

Oh, hey, Derrick, put these two in a cell.

They need a little quiet time to

think about what they've done wrong.

- Tom?

- Wait a minute.

I'm not pressing charges.

You don't have to protect me Cassie.

No, it's about the boys. I don't

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, none of this would have happened

if it weren't for that vile shop of yours.

The sooner that we're rid of it the better.

Martha!

This crazy vendetta of yours has turned our

two boys into a couple of juvenile delinquents,

and it stops here!

Miss Nightingale,

I'm equally at fault in all of this.

I apologize.

My boys are going back

to your shop and fix...

- What?

- And fix the damage they've done.

Mrs. Tinsdale and I will pay

you for any additional damages.

- But Tom...

Not another word!

Thank you.

You could be the next mayor. Of

course, there is a residency law.

You'd have to stick around

for a couple of years.

I don't want to be the

mayor, I just want...

A real home,

with people who love you for who you are,

like me.

You've cast quite a spell Chief Russell.

Does that mean you're staying?

Yeah, that's it.

Good job boys.

Well see, you have some

friends in Middleton after all.

How's it going.

Well I think these boys

have a future in renovation.

- I should go in a check out the damage.

- Yeah.

Hey Brandon?

- How's it going, Dad?

- Good.

Well, it doesn't look so bad.

Oh Jake, don't handle broken glass.

Right, you're the...

that broom? How did that get here?

Somebody must have brought it.

No, no, the door was locked

and you haven't been here since... so...

I'm sure there's a perfectly

logical explanation.

Sure looks like a witch's broom.

What are you implying?

You're not a witch are you?

Silly.
