A lone witch in Manchester? Domino. Witches tend to make appointments.
I think she's hiding something.
Do you want to down these and get out of here?
SHE GROANS
I said stop. Stop!
You think she did something to him?
The lights in his flat were going crazy.
Which app did you use to find this one on?
Deep Like. Ah, yeah...
You not on the apps, then? No, I am.
So what you see is what you get with you?
HE CHUCKLES
Yeah...

It's OK.
It's OK, Domino, we have to go now.
Come on, let's get out of here.
It's OK. It's OK, just...
Who the fuck are you?! How do you know my name?!
We've been watching you. "We"?
My coven.
We want to understand you.
SHE LAUGHS
Better get in line behind me!
What did you learn?
That you're doing something to humans... Oh, God...!
..but...but you don't want to be.
Your whole aura is full of conflict.
I know it must be hard, but you can talk to me.
So, what happened back there, then, with that guy?
I couldn't see anyone else inside.
He, erm...
He had a...
..a video...of me.
So, I went to confront him, but he wasn't there.
Did you break in?
Find the video?
I erased it.
TEARFULLY: But then, I just lost it. I didn't mean to.
What are you doing?
It's OK.
I'm really good with aura magic.
I can see and feel emotions.
Sometimes, if I concentrate,
I can help affect them.
And I calm someone down, for example.
I...I could feel you struggling.
Well, you should ask before you touch me!
It's OK. And spying on me?! It's OK. You can trust me.
Yeah, you keep saying that, but why should I?
Because you're scared and confused...
Because whatever it is that you're doing,
I can tell you don't want to be. Domino?

We came in here, I took one look at it,
and then, I changed my mind.
Hello?
She's a bitch anyway.
Look at you...
Yeah, but did you see the state of her?
I don't know who he thinks he is, you know?
He smells like biscuits anyway...

Oh, my God, that's not even mine!
There you go. Are you OK?
Yeah, I'm fine. OK. Thanks.
Can I get you a drink?
Sorry, I've got a boyfriend. No worries. Cheers.
Have a good night. Yeah. You, too.
Hi.
I don't usually go for black girls,
but you're definitely the prettiest one in here.
Thanks.
You could model, y'know.
Yeah, maybe not runway, but print, for sure.
Could link you with my booking agent, if ya like?
Oh, you're a model? Yeah, just got back from Milan.

Yeah. Yeah? Yeah.

What magic is this? What happened here?
What is this?
SHE BREATHES HEAVILY
What are you thinking, Kat?
I've never seen anything like it!
Sammie, what else did she say?
You know as much as me.
She just said she lost it.
Jules, at the club, tell us again what you saw?
She were wired.
Bouncers were chasing her.
She used magic to push them back, luckily no-one saw.
Intervened before she could cause a bigger scene.
Fuckin' 'ell.
This is bad.
What are we going to tell Esme?
I'll tell her that we're looking into her.
Thought you said we need to get the facts first?
She's throwing bouncers about.
Trashing flats.
How many more facts do you need?
Wait, um...
You know where I live?
Yeah, the cab stopped at yours first last night.
So, I had to make sure that you got in... Oh, ah, pff...
Man... Oh, man.
I don't remember any of that.
I remember us kissing, and then I...
..was I really that wasted?
Oh, just a little. Yeah?
Oh, I thought I'd swing by, before work and bring you over this...
OK, so this is the BEST hangover cure combo.
This got me through uni.
It's clearly working for you.
You're all glowing and shit. Thanks.
Here, come, take a seat. Yeah? Yeah. OK.
Oh, sorry.
HE SNIFFS
THEY LAUGH
You want some of this? Um, nah,
I'm not the one with the hangover.
Mm! Mm-mm...!
OK. OK. I did not say it would taste nice.
No, no, no! I feel better already.
Yeah? Yeah, no, I feel... I feel good. Uh-huh, uh-huh.
THEY CHUCKLE
Um...
So, um...
You up for hanging out again?
Um, I have to help run the speed-dating thing
at BYOM tomorrow. OK.
But I can tonight?
Yeah? Mm-hm.
Oh, I feel better already!
Fucking G!
Shut up! I don't know what's going on, I mean...?
I have to go right now. No, no, no... What? I have to go work!
So, that is a Scold's Bridle.
Ironically, very effective at making the witches talk during the hunts.
And still comes in handy for the occasional rogue witch.
So, how are you?
You were mentioning last month
that you were having some teething problems with Ju-Lei,
she found her place yet? Yeah better, thank you.
Yeah, Jules is... She's young, but she's eager to learn.
She's great with potions.
Good. I knew you'd sort her out.
Well, it's a...it's a work in progress. So were you once.
So, what have you got for me, this week?
Well, there's, er, a new witch in Manchester.
We carried out a probing spell, but we can't make out her specialism.
Do you suspect her of performing outlawed magic?
We don't know enough about her yet. Well, you need to find out,
and be quick about it. If she's breaking any rules,
then she needs to be punished accordingly.
I'll find a way of getting to the bottom of it.
Trust me, my coven can handle this.
You took a chance on me for a reason.
This is the last croissant, you managed to get it.
The very last croissant.
You need anything else? OK, great.
Think Domino did this.
What is it?
Why did I even summon you if you ain't going to give me anything?!
She tink she cyaan use us.
I'm risking everything even talking to you, right now!
"Should I call my Elder mum?"
The Elders are there for a reason.
But dem fear difference.
How ya tink dey be widda witch like Domino?
Well, then, tell me what to do! Bring her here.
We need t'get a good look at dis witch.
DOOR RATTLES
Kat?
QUIETLY: Shit!
Oh, you are here! Why'd you lock up?
Oh, it's just a force of habit.
Well, look who it is.
I didn't know you worked here. I own the place.
Almost didn't recognise you with your clothes on.
I, um, was going to text ya, see if you wanted to hang out again,
but I... You didn't. Yeah.
Want your green tea?
Um ,no, actually. I'm here to see Domino.
Oh.
Small world. I'll take them.
Thank you.
They really want to meet you.
Maybe we can help you understand what you're going through.
So, what you're saying is,
is that you haven't told the Elders about me?
If we were to report you with what we know,
the Elders would come for you.
But we know it's more complex than that, yeah?
We know that it's hard for a witch to be alone.
That's why Kat, my coven leader.
She's so good at making safe spaces for witches.
Especially those struggling to fit in.
I'm good, thanks. I've got a connect.
Who?
Cal, at the antique shop?
Hmm, yeah.
Cal's shop is the go-to for books and spells.
Be careful, though.
He's in the pockets of the Elders.
Look, we really do want to help you!
I know I needed it.
Trust me,
the lone witch life...
..gets pretty messy, pretty fast.
You should really meet her.
See for yourself.
OK.
What's that?
Er, protection charm. Just in case. SAMMIE: This is it.
Legit plant shop/hub for the finest
home-grown potion ingredients in Manchester. What's she...?
Esme didn't recognise the mark.
Said we should just meet her properly. Ask her some questions.
Everyone, this is Domino.
Hi.
All right, Domino, this is Jules, Geri and Kat.
Hi. Thanks for coming.
Oh, yeah. That was me at the club.
Were you following me? Nah.
Usual school night for Jules.
Sorry for all the snooping.
It's just, er, rare for an unknown witch to cross our path.
So, where are your coven based?
Um, I don't have one.
It was... It was just me and my boyfri... My ex.
Your ex is a witch? Yeah.
Well, still, you must know the rules -
no magic in public and definitely no magic on humans.
Yeah. Believe me, I... I don't want to. I am...
I really am trying to find another way.
Then why do you?
You can tell us, Domino.
Like, what you're doing.
Help us understand.
Um...
OK, so, one day, my nose, it started bleeding
and then I started to feel, like, really weak and....
"Weak"? What do you mean? What happened to that guy in his flat?
I am an Obeah woman, guided by my Ancestors.
I call on you, I invite you to this realm.
I already told Sammie everything...

Domino.
I want answers.
Were going to need some privacy for this sort of magic.
Fuck, Kat!
Why are you trying to sabotage everything?
This is not what we're about.
Can someone please explain what the fuck is going on?
You won't have got this in your welcome pack,
but our coven leader here used to be an Obeah witch. What's Obeah?
A magic outlawed by the Elders centuries ago.
My Ancestors contacted ME!
That's not the point!
I've spent countless nights, staying up with you,
as you tried to block 'em out,
so we could make you coven leader, for Christ's sake!
And now you're risking it all with your Obeah?
My Ancestors were just trying to help. I fucking knew it.
What's your plan, Kat? We didn't sign up for this.
But shouldn't we find out what they know about her?
I just need to speak to them one more time.
Geri, please.
I just hope you know what you're doing. Come on.
Fuck!
You could've told me what you were planning!
But tell me...
..what did you find out about her?
HE EXHALES
Follow me.
What, you want me to say the words?
All right.
I am an Obeah woman!
Guided by my Ancestors.
I call on you...
I invite you to this realm.
What is this place?
You wanted to open Silas's grimoire, right?
Strong magic in here.
We'll need it.
I know you think I'm a fass yoot, but...
..I'm not leaving!
Not until you tell me what you know.

Oh, my God...
What does this all mean?
You know, there's more coming back to me about your fella now.
He wasn't just browsing.
He was asking all sorts of questions.
Was he studying me?
Listing all these symptoms, he was.
Couldn't quite believe it at the time.
He wanted to know who you were.
Dem have a hunger dat cyaant be satisfied.
Dem always need to feed off others.
But there was only one explanation for what he was describing.
Couldn't be true.
Elders wiped them out years ago.

Let me speak to Kat, OK?
Oh, for fuck's sake! I really didn't know what she was going to do to you
back there at the plant shop.
But I know her.
She'll see reason.
And I know your aura...
You are not a monster, OK?
You're not.
You don't...
You don't know me, Sammie.
I feed off of others.

I don't even know where he is.
