Sanctuary, my home.

A town where for hundreds
of years witches like myself

lived in the shadows,

hiding their powers for fear of persecution.

Today, we live in the open,

free to practice our craft
and help those in need.

Sanctuary is now a haven
that welcomes everyone.

Those dark days are long behind us.

Or so we thought.

Oh well guys, it looks like

you chose the right place.
I mean, Sanctuary's not cheap

but look what you get for your money;

great views, cool history,
super cool people like these guys.

Am I cool?

You put up with me.

Childhood sweethearts.

Oh.

Gluttons for punishment.

Aren't we all?

Oh yes, we're all boring marrieds here,

except for darling Sarah.

Registered witch, amazing mother.

My inspiration, my soul mate.

What, my publicist?

Well it's -
it's really lovely to meet you all.

Coming from out of town

we weren't quite sure what to expect.

Pointy hats, voodoo, weirdos?

Oh god no, not -

Yeah, kind of.

The thing about magic is,

it's mysterious but it works.

Yeah.

Absolutely. It really does. Fact.

Okay, look,
I know not everyone's a fan of witchcraft

and a lot of places pay lip service

to what some might call weird beliefs,

Sanctuary generally embraces them.

My family have lived here for 300 years

so I'm guessing that speaks for itself.

And, hopefully, you guys will soon -

♪

Stop.

Don't let go. Hold me.

♪ ♪

The thing is Mrs Whitehall,

I've never consulted a witch before.

Oh please, there's nothing to worry about.

Michael told me about your situation,

I knew I had to point you
in the right direction,

of course Michael's all
about following the signs

so was never going to officially
going to give you that steer.

Hello Mrs Whithall.

Hi Katy.

But he knows as well as I do
that this town relies on Sarah,

when Dan had his hamstring issues,

she had him back on the field in no time.

Abi. Emily.

So this feeling of pressure.

It's not just a feeling.

It's an actual pain.

My husband thinks I'm imagining it.

But, it's getting worse, and I'm thinking

'am I gonna have a stroke?'

That must be incredibly scary.

Would you mind if I had a look?

Sure.

Okay.

I think I have a clearer picture now.

This isn't your first baby, is it?

Ready to go?

It's you they want, not me.

So they said he was in distress,

that we needed to get him out quickly.

I don't remember anything
till they said it had stopped,

his heartbeat, it just went away.

Abigail said you could help me,
so, can you make this one live?

The law doesn't permit me to interfere

with future outcomes.

But she said.

What I can do is give you belief

in your body to do its work.
Fortitude to bear immense pain.

And trust that this soul
will find its way through

and all you have to do is welcome it.

So there is a spell for that?

There is.

So, if you wouldn't mind
signing this permission form.

It says you've consented to
me taking these hair samples,

that I have your agreement to use them

as part of any treatment
and that any unused samples

will be kept securely along
with your notes in my safe.

Sure.

Okay.

So I'll prepare the treatment tonight.

I guess you see a lot of desperate people,

hoping for miracles.

Yeah.

And can you do miracles?

It has been known.

Thank you, Charlotte.

And do tell your mum I was asking?

Yeah, I will.

- Thanks guys.
- No worries.

Oh it's exciting. Sarah.

Hi Abs. How are you?

Yeah, I'm good.

I'm great.

Hi Sarah, are you okay?

Dan, it's been ages.

I miss you too. Good to see you.

Mary Ann, I don't know how you do it,

honestly, I do not know how you do it.
Hi Beatrice.

Hey Bea.

Hey guys. How's it going?

Hi Mrs Whithall.

Would you stop it, it's Abigail.

If you insist. How you doing?

I'm all good.

Juice here. Alright chief.

Coming through lads.

Hey!

Are we ready?

- Yeah.
- Yeah.

- Alright.
- Let's do it.

- Come on, man of the moment.
- See you later guys.

- Let's go.
- Can we go?

Come on then. Let's do it.

Thank you, thank you.

Friends and supporters,
please put your hands together

for our fundraising queen,

- Mrs Abigail Whithall.
- Yes.

Well thanks Ted, happy to take the credit

but I know there's someone
you'd all rather hear from,

our under 18s captain,

future international,
four clubs begging to sign him.

She's off again.

That leaves me just to say

we've managed to bag some amazing prizes

for the charity auction. Er, a portrait

from our wonderful resident
artist Julia Garston.

A tour of the police station
from Chief Inspector Bolt.

For those of you unfamiliar with the cells.

And from our magical practitioner

Sarah Fenn a customised reenergising spell.

Okay, let me hand you over to our captain

who's going to tell you how you
can support his amazing team.

Your spell got so many bids.

Shame we can't clone her.

No sign of Michael today.

Oh, some crisis at the hospital.

But still, Abi's big day,

Daniel's team.

Yes,
as long as he keeps signing the cheques.

Mm?

Need a lift?

I like walking.

Oh no, no, no.

I'm a lazy slob, but P still loves me.

Always will. Even though she broke my heart.

Didn't you divorce me?

Hey, how's Izzy?

Oh, still poorly.

How's Harper?

Still Harper.

How was the fundraiser?

Mm. Didn't fancy it?

What did I miss?

Abigail swooning over Dan?

You guessed.

Well I can see that any time.

He's not been round lately.

How is he?

You know,
he's just training to be a superstar.

Oh yeah, er, Abi did mention that.

You out tonight?

Yeah, party at the warehouse.

Ah.

Well I'll be at Bridge's if you need me.

Happy hexing. Joking.

Who's going tonight? Dan?

Harper? How is Harper?

Obsessing about Dan.

Oh I dare say they'll work things out.

Or not.

Whatever,
I just can't be arsed with all their dramas.

Can I get a lift?

Oh, ask dad.

I'm seeing the girls tonight.

Your carriage awaits my queen.

I'm buzzing.

I think we've earned a little refreshment.

Oh Sarah sweet, could you do them?

Oh yeah.

Always feels such a privilege

to be able to make a small contribution.

Oh it's not small and you know it.
So thank you.

Woo!

Oh just half for me, I'm cutting.

Oh, I should be, but I'm not.

I'm sure Cheryl loves
you just the way you are.

Oh no, no.

Cheryl wants to make me a better person.

I dread to think of how much booze

is going down at that party right now.

Oh, Dan will be on the juice,

he's got training first thing.

And Bea's got extra studies.

When did kids get so sensible?

Oh Bea needs four As for law school.

And Dan is the consummate pro.

To Dan and Bea. Stars in the making.

And Izzy when she decides
what she wants to do.

Oh and to Harper too for erm, er -

All the opportunities ahead.

Right. Hah, exactly.

And she's got masses of time

to decide what's next,

and, and even if she may not
be where she wanted to be -

Where I wanted her to be.

Hey, I'm the one that struggled.
Harper's totally cool with it.

Well there you go.

All worked out for the best. To Harper.

To Harper.

To Harper.

Don't say anything.

- Hey Bea.
- Hey.

- Let's party.
- Yeah, let's go.

D'you have a minute?

Come back later.

Fuck off Jake. I mean it Dan.

Babe, look, just

don't spoil the party. Okay?
Catch you later, yeah?

I think we were maybe a
bit insensitive before,

going on about our amazing kids.

But they are amazing.

Don't ever feel you have
to hold back on my account.

Look, all I ever wanted was
for Harper to take after me

as a witch, but, she didn't.

I just wish she wasn't so prickly.

Well that's not just Harper,

that's teenagers.

And husbands.

Erm, I mean it's great that
he's so devoted to his patients,

it's just sometimes he gets a bit obsessed.

God, Albie was the same,

lived at the office, or used to,

now I can't get him out of the house.

What the hell happened?

Oh I guess he just realised

what a goddess I am.

You are.

Ladies,
any chance we can keep the noise down?

Izzy's sleeping.

How is she?

Viral infection, it's really dragging on.

Shall I fix her something?

That's kind but Dr Clark said

she just needs bed and plenty of fluids,

so if you ladies could keep the lid on it.

Oh great,
now she's definitely gonna be awake.

Cheryl, come join us.

Schedules to finish. Exams coming up.

Well we certainly do appreciate

everything you do for the kids Cheryl.

Hello.

God, who rings this late?

Student prank calls.

We get about ten a week.

What do you mean? What's happened? No? Fuck!

Cheryl? Sweet?

There's been an accident.

At the party?

Yes.

Bea!

Where's the boy?

Oh my god, Bea!

Abi. Can you come with me, please.

Sarah, you too. Michael's on his way.

I've got you. Sshh-sshh-sshh-sshh.

At this site the last lawful execution

of a witch took place.

After aiding Cromwell against King Charles I

during the English Civil War,

witchcraft was legitimised
and the town of Sanctuary

vowed to welcome all,
regardless of creed or kind.

POLICE OFFICER [SPEAKING DCI
Knight's on the scene, over.

DCI Knight, I'm DC Henshall.

I've been assigned to -

First name?

Ryan.

Oh. Maggie. I take it you knew the boy?

Yeah.

Okay, let's get to work.

What have we got?

I've made a list,

of all the kids who were at the party.

Oh, big turnout.

Pretty much all the six form

of Sanctuary Senior,

plus the lads from the local rugby team.

Mhm. And the deceased?

Dan Whithall.

Only child, under 18s rugby captain.
Popular guy.

And this place?

Disused warehouse.
Kids hang out, throw parties.

Unofficially of course, no adults present.

Girlfriend?

Harper Fenn.

On/off, depending on who you talk to.

Jake Bolt, Dan's best friend.

No relation to Ted Bolt?

His youngest. You know the boss?

Did a stint in Sanctuary six years ago.

Well, well, well.

Miss Detective Chief Inspector Knight.

I hope you told them we taught
you everything you know.

It's good to be back boss.

Shame about the circumstances.

Tell me about it.

Dan Whithall was a great kid.

Couldn't meet nicer parents.
They want answers.

I'm sure.

They also need closure.

Of course.

So this is how we play it.

This site was derelict, wiring half done,

fire breaks out, kids panic,
boy falls, breaks his neck.

My Jakey was his best mate.

Swears he never touched drink or drugs.

Bottom line; our Dan was a hero.

Under 18s captain,
used to coach younger kids.

Sanctuary's hurting.

I'll check through the kids' statements,

and get it sorted.

She shouldn't be on her own.
Where's Michael?

In the study. Working.

I'm heading back to the hospital.

Give Harper our love.

Yeah.

Are you seriously working?

Can I get you something?

Our son just died.

I know.

And if I could change that I would.

But I can't.

That's it. That's all you've got.

I don't know what to say Abi,

except we just have to
find a way through this.

You've been out for six hours.

How's Abi?

You can imagine.

What about you? What do you need?

I don't know.

Just time,
to get my head around it all, I think.

Let me help.

No. I don't need that.

You should go mum,
there's nothing you can do.

I'm not going anywhere.

No, but I need you to.

Please, just give me a bit of space.

I'll call you when they let me out.

Excuse me, Harper Fenn?

Don't come in, I'm getting ready.

I'll wait in the corridor.

Are you sure you want to do this?

Yes. I need to.

Dan would want me to.

Thank you.

Harper? I'm DCI Knight.

Just a routine investigation in
to what happened at the party.

Would you mind answering a few questions?

No.

I know it's difficult.

Dan was your boyfriend, right?
Did you see him fall?

No. I was talking to Jake.

Where were you?

I was on the stairs, Dan was on the landing.

Had he been drinking?

It was a party.

What do you think?

Did you and Daniel have a row?

We spoke.

Witnesses say you were shouting.

Yeah.

At him.

- Not at him.
- Then who?

Sorry, can this wait?

- Sure.
- Okay.

Er, one last question.

Is there any reason to think

Daniel's death wasn't accidental?

What, you mean suicide?

Dan Whithall would hardly kill himself

over a nasty little slut like me.

- See you.
- See you.

Shall I brew you something?

Could you?

Yeah. See you.

Bye.

Er, Mrs Whithall?

Yes.

Beryl Varley, Sanctuary reporter, I'm -

I'm so sorry for your loss.

Could you spare me a moment?
How old was Daniel?

18.

And how much did he usually drink?

Well he didn't really.

What about drugs?

I'm sorry?

There were drugs at the party.

I've no idea.

What has this got to do with

Do you have any comment

to make about the sex tape?

The what?

Some kids mentioned it being projected

on a wall.

- I'm sorry, I
- I don't know anything about -

Apparently, Daniel was in it.

Are you serious?

Well I'm just following up

with the police investigation.

Chief not back yet?

His kid's in a bad way.

Jake. We need to talk to him.

Boss says he's too cut up

to answer any questions.

But soon?

So we're still thinking

a straightforward accidental?

I'm not thinking anything

till we've got the facts.
Fire. Er, where did it start?

How? Was it a coincidence? Deliberate?

Several witnesses say some
kind of sex tape was shown.

Oh, how did the local press
get hold of that story?

It's a small town,
people talk to each other.

So, what exactly is this tape?

Who's in it? Who filmed it?
Who showed it? And why?

Oh erm,
some kid from the party just sent this

- sorry. Not sure what it is.

Am I missing something?

Wait, go back a bit.
Wait, there. Top corner.

Okay. That's presumably it.
The so-called sex tape.

Okay. So what exactly

Who is the officer in charge?

Please, can this lady get some answers?

Her son's dead and she needs to know

why someone's been talking to reporters.

Mrs Whithall, I'm DCI

Knight and no one's done
anything of the sort.

Why are you trying to blame

Daniel for what happened?

Was he drunk? Was he high?
Was it maybe even suicide?

This is a routine investigation.

And a tragic accident seems
the most likely explanation.

But when a young person dies unexpectedly

a thorough investigation
of the circumstances,

no matter how painful -

My husband is a Professor of Virology,

he'll want to see the toxicology reports

and any attempt to smear my son -

That's not what we do Mrs Whithall.

Our job is to get to the
bottom of what happened.

I hope one day it'll bring you closure.

Closure. Daniel was my life.

You think I want to get over him?

Rest assured, Mrs Whithall,

we'll keep you informed.

Like you kept me informed of this.

What is it?

The sex tape that's been doing the rounds.

You are digging,
you are trying to smear my son.

Abs, let's go. Let's go.

Okay.

Hi, this is Harper, leave a message.

So we have numerous witnesses,

all confirming that the guy in
the tape is Dan, with Harper.

No wonder she was furious.

That up on the wall in front of everyone.

I wonder what Dan thought.

His mates seemed to think it was hilarious.

Said it showed Harper
for what she really is.

Which is?

A slut.

Ryan!

Quote.

That's the second time

I've heard that expression,

and I'm wondering why is she the slut?

Why isn't he?

Well I guess with her mum being a witch.

Yeah.

Oh, some people, not me obviously,

but some folk seem to think
that they have this free

and easy attitude towards
their kids having sex.

And that's a crime?

Absolutely not, but -

You know what is a crime?

Someone projecting a private act at a party

for everyone to gape at.

So whose idea was it?

Bottom line;

a sex tape got shown to a bunch of kids

just before a boy died.
Is there a connection?

Mr Garston?

DCI Knight, DC Henshall.
We'd like to ask your daughter

Beatrice a few questions about the party.

Hi I'm Bea's mum.

Look, we're very happy to help
but could we keep it short?

It's all been very traumatic.

Sure.

D'you like my pictures?

Of course I do, they're beautiful.

When will my magic come in?

You know when.

By your 13th birthday at the latest.

If it comes in.

Yours did. Great Grandma Seraphina's did.

Sometimes it skips a generation.

My mum didn't have it.

I will. What's in it?

Heartsease tincture,

tea rose for remembrance,

sweet pea for departure and farewell,

and one last thing.

Why is it locked?

It's where I keep my client records.

So everyone you've ever done magic on

is in there?

Mhm.

Whose hair is that?

Confidential.

Someone gave it to you?

You know the rule.

Something given for something gained.

Mhm.

Is this a - JULIA: Spell chart.

It looks like one, doesn't it?

It's actually inspired by one of Sarah's,

as an artist I find them fascinating.

Of course only a witch can make charts

that possess actual magical properties.

And you're not one?

Oh god, no.

Sarah's the only one with the gift.

But you're part of her coven?

Well yes, er,
she - she can call upon our energies,

non-magical,
to augment her own powers if the need arises,

but, do I have powers myself?
Absolutely not.

So Beatrice,
I'm sure this all feels very raw

and you're probably still in shock.

I understand you, Dan and Harper were close.

Oh you know what it's like at that age,
dramas galore.

And actually, well, Harper's a bright kid

but, you know, different aspirations.

What can you tell me about -

She already gave a statement.

Yes, but her friendships

with Dan and Harper go back years.

So I was hoping she -

Have you talked to Jake?

He was with Dan at the party.

Mhm.

Okay. So two things happened.

Daniel's fall and the fire.

Is there anything you can tell me about -

Not really, I was mostly downstairs.

And where did you last see Daniel?

Up on the first floor.

With anyone?

Not that I saw.

And Harper, where was she?

Erm,
at the bottom of the stairs talking to Jake.

And did you see Daniel fall?

No. And I

- I didn't see the fire start,

all I remember is people screaming

and running to the door.

Were you aware

of some kind of sex tape being played?

I heard.

What did you hear?

That it was Harper and Dan.

What? Seriously?

Mum, come on,

people do it all the time.

What, film themselves having sex?

Yeah, well not me obviously.

But Harper and Dan had this whole
'Look at me,

I'm up for anything' vibe going.

Do you know who the tape belonged to?

Why would she?

Or who might've filmed it?

Again, why?

Or, why someone would wanna

show it like that at a
party in front of everyone?

Kids do all kinds of sick things.

Were you at the party Mr Garston?

No. I dropped my daughter off,

and then I went down the road

to deal with an issue at
a new build I'm designing.

And how long were you there?

Couple of hours.

God, sorry.

I'm sorry, it's so awful.

Okay. Let's just leave it there for now.

Shall we?

What's all that about?

You said you'd tell me
when they let you out.

What the fuck is this?

Hair of a boy who just died?
Mum, what happened to consent?

Isn't that magic rule number one?

I had these from before.

And I wouldn't be using them

except I'm brewing for you and Abi.

A simple tranquillity draft, you're in shock.
It'll help.

Do you have to be so obvious?

About what?

How much you hate it.

You didn't inherit magic,

I know, doesn't mean you have to despise it.

Sorry to be such a disappointment.

You're not.

No, if I've ever made you feel as if -

As if I failed? I did, didn't I?

No, I did. Somehow, I didn't pass it on.

You did me a favour mum.

Life's easy when you're not a freak.

It needs to cool.

It'll help you make your peace
with what happened to Dan,

so, you can start to get over him.

Get over him? Jesus, mum!

Could you brew me a mixture of oblivion

so I can forget he ever existed!

Well I can see you're about to make my day.

Just had a call from the station.

And?

Witness just came forward.

Saying?

Dan Whithall was murdered.

Woman: The whole town's traumatized.

My son just died.

Man:
We have a murder investigation on our hands.

Woman: Witchcraft was used.

This is an illegal spellbook.

It contains the darkest of dark magic.

That power in the wrong hands...

Heavenly Father! Purge this curse.

She killed him.

♪♪

The whole town's lost its mind.

Sarah Fenn alone is responsible!

Woman: She'll face the death penalty.

And they're gonna be coming for us.

Get off me!

Keep your hands off my daughter.

What's happening?Oh, my God.

Man:
Everything in Sanctuary has just blown up.

How could that happen?

The darkness they conjure.

Man: Arrest Sarah Fenn.

Woman: You've become a monster.

Guess what, witch. It's only just begun.
