Good Witch (2015–…): Season 1, Episode 7 - Together We Stand - full transcript

- Where am I?
- Grey House.

- I don't understand.
- Brian, we're trying
to help you.

- I need to go.
- Yeah, we're working on it.

- Now...
- No. Not now.

- Honey, honey, lie down.

Where is the ambulance?

Martha? What are you doing?

- AH! Waiting for my briefing.
Waiting for my briefing.

- You stayed here?
- Yes!

As commander-in-chief,
I need to be here

to lead my men to victory.
- Alright, well, we're
not invading a country.



We're just trying to help these
people get through this winter storm.

- And I am on the front lines, standing
shoulder to shoulder with our men in...

white?
- Blue.
- Blue.

- I've called up all our volunteer snow
plowers, and we don't have enough.

I mean, not nearly enough.

- But you have
to clear the roads.

- But I'm clearing the roads so
that our people can get through,

not so that media can
get here to interview you.

- The people of Middleton
are scared, trapped,

their roads are impassible!

I need to do what
I do best, which is

get the message out
there that I'm on the job

and that everything is going to
be fine. And for that to happen,

I need the media here. So...



What can I do?
I'm at your disposal.

- You could call Mayor Blankenship,
ask him if he can lend us his plows,

his crews. We have so few.

Blairsville has so many.

The storm totally missed them.

It's all just sitting
there! I mean,

they're waiting to
be called into action.

- What can I do?
I'm at your disposal.

- I got hold of my Mom.
- And?

- We're just
supposed to stay put.

- Should we tell him?

- I don't even think he cares
whether we're stuck or not.

I don't think he
wants to go home.

- It's really coming down.

- It is.

- You worried?
- Yeah.

- Brandon?

- I can't shake this feeling

that he's hurt

and that he's going
to get hurt even more.

- How?
- I don't know.

- Hey, he's a policeman.

He knows how to
take care of himself.

- Lay still. You don't want
to hurt your back more.

- I thought you left.

- I wouldn't leave you.
- Why?

- Because I told you I wouldn't.

The power went out
on the whole block.

It is treacherous out there.

My car slid right down
the driveway into the street.

- Still no word from Brandon. Derek
sent him out a while ago to get the kids.

- The kids?
- Yeah, they're
still at the library, waiting.

So we can't drive
Brian to the hospital?

- Well, it's not going to do him or us any
good to get stuck out there on the road.

And if we can't get out...

The ambulance can't get in.

What? What's going on?
- His blood pressure is low,

really low. He's dizzy,
light-headed, confused...

I think Brian's got a slow
bleed in the abdomen.

I think it's his spleen.

- But he would have
had to have some trauma

to the spleen to
cause internal bleeding.

- And he's hasn't. Has he?
- They've been antiquing
and sightseeing.

- That wouldn't do it.
- But you feel that's
what it is?

- Without tests,
blood work, X-rays,

it's not definitive, it's
an educated guess

at best.
- It's more than that.

- I wish it were, but it's not.

You can't feel your way into
deciding if someone requires surgery.

- I'm not saying
you could or should.

- What are you saying?
- That just like

your medical skills, your
instincts have been honed

over the years. They're
there as a tool, to guide you.

- I need a lab,

a hospital - an ambulance

would be nice.
- Trust yourself, Sam. I do.

Well, it goes without saying

we need to keep both
of them calm.
- Us too.

♪♪♪

- No thanks, I'm not hungry.

- Drink.

I don't need you
disabled and dehydrated.

Help's on the way.

- I feel like you're a
better liar than that.

Come on, put your back into it.

What do we do now?

- Um... Wait for the fire department
to arrive and hope they're all single?

- Checking the weather?
- Yeah.

- Luckily it missed
us here in Blairsville,

but Middleton's being hammered.
- Mm-hmm.

- I'd say you're
spending the night.

- I've got a hotel room, but I
just want to get back there.

As soon as the roads clear
I'm going to head home.

Girlfriend?

- Someday, maybe,
yeah. She's a little gun-shy.

- Coming off a bad relationship?

- No, a perfect
marriage. She's a widow.

- She lives in Middleton?
- Yup.

Owns Bell, Book and Candle.

- Cassie Nightingale?

She's renting that building.

- She has a long lease.

- You and I know
leases can be broken.

- What I know is that
that shop and that building

is a part of her
- and vice versa.

- What I'm bringing
you into here,

you're not selling
houses anymore.

It's about packaging an idea.

Dreams, possibilities.

This mall will change the face

and the economic makeup
of Blairsville forever.

There will be no time

for girlfriends or wives
or friends or family,

and you're going to need help.
- I'm good.

- Frankie is better. Best
man in the Chicago office.

- OK, I'll call Frankie.

- No need. Frankie's going
to meet you here tonight.

Flew in yesterday
to go over numbers.

And if you can
make Frankie happy,

I'll be happy.

- Well, then I better
make Frankie happy.

- What's with the internet?

- It's alive!

- Seriously, what are
we supposed to do?

- Well, we are in a library.

- Read?
- Yeah.

You know, people have
been doing it for centuries.

- Because they didn't
have the internet.

- OK. So Shakespeare wouldn't
have written Romeo and Juliet

if he'd had the internet?
- No, he would have written it,

but everybody would have
waited for it to be made into a movie

and then streamed it.
- OK,

so until this storm passes...

it looks like we're on our own.

- It's going to be OK.
- Are you kidding me?

This is not Lord of The Flies,

it's an ice storm.

I just hope I don't
die of boredom.

- And then there were two.

- Well?
- We found the cruiser

but no Brandon. There's blood
on the door handle and tracks

leading away from the vehicle.
- Oh, no!

- If he's hurt and
he took off for help,

that means he's disoriented,
he's roaming around in the cold.

He could freeze
before we find him.
- We have to find him!

- We will.

Right now, we've got
half the people in town

without cell service,
without power, alright?

The roads are practically impassable.
We need to implement a temporary curfew.

People do not need to
be on the roads tonight.

- But number 3 on my
10-part emergency plan

says "make your
way to a shelter."
- I know, but you haven't

allocated and identified which
buildings to use as shelters.

- If we tell people not to leave
their homes and they have no heat...

- If you tell people to go
to shelters that don't exist

and then they get stuck in
the snow trying to get there...

Excuse me, I have
to brief everyone.
- Oh!

Perhaps I should
address the troops.

- Why?
- I'm the mayor.

- I'm the Chief.

Everyone! Guys.

I give you the Honorable
Mayor Martha Tinsdale.

- Thank you. Officers, staff,

man I don't know
standing in the back

by the water cooler,
lend me your ears;

we have been hit by
a gigantic winter storm

and I am here to...

To...

To introduce the Chief of
Police, who has an update for you.

- Alright, guys,
here's the plan...

♪♪♪

I don't understand.

- Did Brian take a fall
yesterday?
- No.

- Was he in an accident
before he came to Middleton?

- No. What's going on?

I'm getting really worried.
Is Brian going to be OK?

- Yes, he is - but we need
to keep an eye on him.

No cell service.

- Me either. Landline?

- Dead.
- The storm.

- Yeah, well, Derek
knows we need help.

- He just doesn't know Brian's
condition is getting worse.

- Alright, what do you got?

- Lip gloss, toothbrush,

uh, four sticks of gum,

a box of mints and...

a candy bar. What about you?

Come on, what do you have?

- 20 bucks and an iPod.

- No food?
- No, I stayed
with my dad last night.

My mom always does that stuff.

My dad and I, we eat
a lot of bachelor steak.

- "Bachelor steak"?

- Cereal. No milk.

Yum.

- Where do you think Nick is?

Who knows.

But he'll be back...
when he's hungry.

- He can eat the mints.
- No. We should save the mints.

- Gum?
- One stick.

Here...

I'm keeping the bigger piece.

- Of course. As usual.

- That's good. What is it?

- I can't give you
my chef secrets.

- You don't want Sam and
I to be together, do you?

- You and Sam are fighting
the natural order of things.

- And Cassie and Ryan?

- There's a lot of fighting the
natural order of things around here.

You hired and fired me
because you don't trust me.

Because you want to control me.

People often want to
control the uncontrollable,

like me.

- I trust you.

- You didn't even trust me to move
some furniture or change the menu.

Why is that?

- He's resting.

Sam's with him.

- How are you holding up?

- I've had better vacations.

You make plans and then...
- And then life happens.

- Exactly.

Brian's been under
so much stress at work

that I insisted we get away
from the city, from everything,

and... now look at us.

- Lots of stress?
- The only relief
he gets is running.

- Brian went running yesterday?

- Mm. In the afternoon.

He came back early - it
was getting cold already.

- Excuse me.

- He went running
yesterday afternoon.

- It was slick out even
before the storm hit.

- He fell.
- But he didn't tell Eve.

- Stubborn, manly,
ignored the pain -

I'm familiar with the type.

- What are your
instincts telling you?

- A small tear. That's
why the bleeding's so slow.

- So he fell just hard
enough to hurt his spleen.

- Brian needs emergency surgery.

♪♪♪

- Oof, thanks. Well,
I can start an IV,

get some fluids in
him. That'll buy us

and him some time. I'm still
not used to ordering supplies

myself - those came
to the house by mistake.

- Lucky mistake.
- Well, we're due

a little good luck. We just gotta keep
him stable until some help gets here.

- Help is here.

- More help.

- What's going on?

- You look very dashing
in that fire blanket.

- You have sprinklers,

so why do you
have a fire blanket?

- The sales guy looked
like George Clooney.

Ugh, it is so cold in here!

- I know.

We still don't have power.
- Which means we don't
have heat.

- Whoa, whoa, whoa!
You need to stay awake.

- I'm just gonna close
my eyes for a minute.

- No.
- I'm cold and tired.

- So am I, but you
might have a concussion.

- I should get
back to the station.
- You're not going anywhere

and you're not gonna
close your eyes.

- Hey!

- Nick!

- You're going to
bust me for this?

- That's public property.
- I'm starved and I don't
have any change.

- Well, we have gum.

- You missed a spot.

- What?

- Upper right lip. Chocolate.

I'm guessing you two didn't
have gum for dinner.
- OK, fine.

We should've shared.
- I can take care of myself.

Oh!

Victory.

I have to say, I would have
expected such selfish behavior

from him.

But you? Grace.

I have to say, I'm disappointed.

- Hey Cassie, it's me.

It's, like, the fourth
time I've called.

I tried calling Grey House
but I keep getting a busy signal.

I hope you're OK. I'm
getting a little worried.

Call me, please. I'm gonna
head home as soon as it clears.

OK... bye.

- Pardon me, are you Ryan?

- Yeah.
- I'm Frankie.

- Frankie?
- Ben sent me.

Mr. Jones. I'm here to help.

- You're Jones'
best man in Chicago.

- I am. And since
we've got some time,

let's go over some
figures from the mall project

that just don't add up.

- Um...

- You've got
something better to do?

- It's just that it's late.

- Yeah, well you need
to realize that Ben doesn't

keep regular hours,
and neither do I.

- That affects me how?
- I'm your new partner on this.

- "Partner"?

- Eve?

- I can't... I can't breathe.

- OK, alright, Eve, we're going
to do some breathing.
- Brian's gonna die.

- No. Sam's not going to let
that happen, are you?
- No.

- He's bleeding, he's...
- Your baby needs you to
stay calm and breathe.

- I don't want to
lose my husband.

- Sam's one of the best
trauma surgeons in the country.

He just moved here and
he's taking care of Brian, OK?

How lucky is that?
Brian's in very good hands.

Alright, now take
a deep breath in.

You can do better
than that. Come on.

Sam, why don't you
show her how it's done?

Oh, look. See, he's
even worse than you are!

OK, alright, come on,
let's do this together, OK?

- Yes, thank you.
Please keep me informed.

How's the situation
at Grey House?

- Still can't get
them on the phone,

but we've got every plow
working to get through.

There was an accident
on the interstate,

so now all the Blairsville
snow plow drivers have to take

back roads to get to
us. It's taking a while.

But thank you for calling
the mayor of Blairsville.

- Well, at least I didn't have to
see Darrell and his smug face

when I asked for his help.
- How does that guy keep
getting re-elected?

I...

- Mayor Tinsdale... Darrell!

I stand corrected;

Mayor Blankenship. My apologies.

Yes.

Yes.

No, I... Yes, I
know, it was very...

Well, I wouldn't call
it "heroic", exactly.

Yes, I know that Blairsville
is the fifth largest city

in the state, but thank you
for reminding me yet again.

- Looks like we're having
phone trouble at city hall, too.

- What if he calls back?

- Aw, I feel like his line
may be dropped all night.

Another casualty of the storm.

- Eve, I'm cold.
- I'm here. I'm here.

- Here.

He's getting worse.

I can't just stand here and
watch him bleed to death.

- Sam...
- For him to have

any chance at all, I
have to stop the bleeding.

And we need to
get Eve's consent.

- No. Absolutely not. How
can you do surgery here?

- I don't want to, but if I can just
get in there and clamp off the leak,

stop the bleeding...
- I don't want you to.

- Eve...
- No.

You are not operating
on my husband here.

An ambulance will arrive.

♪♪♪

- Boy, I'm stuffed.

Chips, cookies,

two candy bars, and
I'm on my third soda.

You guys look
hungry. How's the gum?

- Great.
- Not very filling.

- I'm not going to beg.

- So crunchy, so salty...

So... good.

- OK, fine, I'll beg.

Please!

- How much you got?

- What?
- Money? Cash? Coins will also be accepted.

- You're seriously going
to take money from us?

- Yeah. I was wrong,
this is Lord of the Flies.

See, I do read.
Pay up or starve.

- It's not worth it, Grace.
- - There's chocolate.

Can you break a 20?

- Yup.

- Where's my change? You
said you could break a 20.

- I can, but I'm not going to.

- I'm not gonna change my mind.

- I know.

- What would you do

if it was your
husband lying here?

- I trust Sam.

- With your life?
- Absolutely.

- With my husband's life?

- Yes.

- Well, in her defense, you
told her to keep me awake.

You never mentioned
keeping herself awake.

- You look better.
- Thanks.

- And worse.
- Excuse me?

- Something's
weighing heavily on you.

- I hate being stuck in here
when I know I'm needed

out there.

- That's not what's
really got you worried.

How's your wife?

Tara.

She's away working
on her PHD, right?

Tara?

- So, I've got
back-to-back appointments

with local retailers who are very
interested in space in the mall.

- Great. Let me vet them.
- I already made the
appointments.

- But I need to approve them.
- Says who?

- Ben.

- Frankie, I didn't
ask for help.

- No, I was sent
here by your boss.

- My partner.
- I think he'd
disagree with that.

- The way that I like to
work with all my clients

is that I respectfully
steer them

in the right direction.
- Hmm.

Ben doesn't like to be
steered, and neither do I.

- He'll never know.

- I'll tell him.
- Why?

- Because when it comes to
business, I tell my father everything.

- Your father?

- It's still coming down.
- Yeah.

- Thank you, Captain Obvious.

- What's wrong?

- I'm stuck in a library with
you two and no internet.

- No, it's something else.

- It's not.

- You were in a much better
mood a couple days ago.

- How could you tell?
- Anthony!

So what happened?
- Nothing.

- You're lying.
- Well...

You're just...

- Your mom.

I heard that she was
coming. But she's not, is she?

And that's why you don't seem
to care if you're going home.

- Man, that stinks.
- I'm not you.

- I'm just trying...

- Just leave me alone, OK?

- Brr! Ooh, it's cold!

- Hello? Come in? Anyone?

- I'm here.
- Hi, honey.

- Do you have any idea
how hard it is to walk

from our home to here?
It's practically a whiteout.

- Well, Sam did say you
need to do more cardio.

- I don't think he
meant in a blizzard.

Why am I here?

- I need you, Tom.

- For the photo op?

- No, no. I need
you. Here, with me.

- You're nervous?
- It's the first big test
of my leadership abilities.

- And you're doing great.
- Oh, you have to say that

because you're married to me.
- I'm saying it because
it's true.

You are a born leader

and this town is lucky

to have you at the helm.

- Oh...

Follow me.

- Where are we going?
- To the lost and found.

And let's hope somebody
lost a suit, preferably blue.

- Why?
- Because eventually the cameras

will be here and I need you

looking like the man I married,

not the man I passed
hitch-hiking on the interstate.

- Is there any other way?

- Yes. An ambulance
gets him to the hospital

and we do the surgery there,

but I'm afraid he's
losing too much blood.

I don't want him to die.

- If we wait much longer,

there's a point of no
return for the body.

- Do what you have to.

Both of you.

- I don't know what I'm going
to find when I open him up.

Hopefully I can cap off
the bleeder with a clamp

and they somehow get an ambulance
here and get him to the hospital.

It'll buy him some
time, but not a lot.

I'm going to need you.
- I'm here.

- You are, aren't you?

Well, he can't afford
to lose any more blood.

- Well, you're doing what
you need to do to save his life.

- If I haven't said
it yet, thanks.

- Thanks?
- For everything

that you've done so far,

and what you're about
to do. I'm glad you're here.

- Sam.

- Yeah?
- They're here.

- An ambulance is here!

- It's OK.

It is.

- Do you want to ride
with us, Dr. Radford?

- Yeah, I talked to the
hospital administrator,

he knows I'm coming
to do the surgery.

- Roger that. Let's go.
- You heard him. Let's go.

Thanks.

How we doing?

- Roads cleared?
- The main ones.
- Cassie?

- The ambulance just
radioed that they are

at the hospital and
her guest is in surgery.

- I suppose I'll have to
thank Darrell in my speech.

- You need to get out here!
- Just need a moment.

- Martha Lorraine
Tinsdale! Get out here.

Now.

- I'll get to all your
questions, but the main point

here to be made is that
we're going to be alright.

Blairsville, being the
better-prepared city,

we're here to help
our less-fortunate

neighbor sister city.

We have loaned the snowplows

and the crew necessary
to clear these streets

and to aid in getting a
very sick man to hospital.

We're not through
this storm just yet,

but together we'll get there.

I was only able to
make it in myself today

because of my MRAP -

my Mine Resistant
Ambush-Protected vehicle.

Picked it up for a song
at a military auction...

We're going to be
alright. Blairsville,

being the larger, and, well,

better-protected city,

we're here to help our
less fortunate neighbors...

Janet to the nursing station,

Janet, nursing station.

Dr. Carey to obstetrics,

Dr. Carey, obstetrics.

- So, Brian's out of surgery.
- Oh, thank God!

- They're giving him a
transfusion to get his blood

and platelets up, but after
that he'll be in recovery.
- So he did injure his spleen?

- No - once I got in there, I
was able to run some tests.

Turns out it was hemolytic
anemia. That's, um,

abnormal breakdown
of the red blood cells.

It causes the spleen to bleed.

- When can he leave?
- I was able to do a
laparoscopic procedure,

so he can leave the hospital tomorrow,
but I'd put off travel for a few days.

- Do you have room?
- Absolutely.

- Can I see him?
- Yeah, the nurse
is waiting to take you back.

- Thank you -
thanks, both of you.

- Stephanie?
- Brandon!

- I'm fine.

It's just my back - I slipped.

- I got you covered.
- Thanks.

- Eric is on his
way to the library.

I slid off the road
and banged my head.

- Do you need stitches?
- No. Abigail took care of me.

- But you were together? How?
- I walked away from my cruiser

and somehow
ended up at the Bistro.

- Um... Let's take a look.

- And... you were at the Bistro?

- I told you, I
forgot something.

- Hello?

Anybody want a ride home?

- Get me out of here.

- Hey.
- Hey...

- Where's Brandon? Is he OK?

- He had an
accident but he's fine.

He's at the hospital.
- Take me there.

- That's not a good idea.
- What aren't you telling me?

- Look, they're
gonna check him out

and they're gonna bring
him back down to the station.

- OK, so you take them home
and then you take me to the station.

Let's go.

- Well, look at you!
- It's the miracle
of modern medicine.

- But...

- I'm supposed to stay
off my feet for a few days,

go see Sam and get checked
out before I come back to work.

As per doctor's orders,

I'm going to be leaving
early and coming in late.

- No you won't.

But this is a good start.

This is gonna be fun.

- For which one of us?

- Brandon.
- Hey.

- I'm OK. Just a
little car accident,

bumped my head.
I'm as good as new.

- I tried to call.
If I had called

earlier or if I had...
- If you were with me

when it happened? What, you
could have stopped the accident?

- Yes.

- Look, there's risk in my job,

but there's risk in life.

It's not your responsibility
to keep me safe

and it wasn't your
responsibility to keep Dad safe.

We have to live our
lives, Grace. We have to...

You have to live yours, and
you have to trust me to live mine.

- I just don't want
you to get hurt.

- Hey. I'm gonna be fine.

I promise.

- There are lots of
ways to be hurt, Brandon.

- It's...

- Tara.

♪♪♪

- Table for two, please.

- I'll see if I can
squeeze you in.
- No...

I'll see if I can
squeeze you in. You,

off your feet.

- You're back.
- I am.

- So, I hear you and
Cassie make a good team.

- Well, we did last night.

- He's gonna be OK, Brian?

- Yeah. He's gonna be fine.

- I've been looking for you!
- Martha!

- Oh, Cassie, are you all right?
- Yes. I'm fine!

- It's polite to reciprocate
and ask how others are.

- This is about Mayor
Blankenship's news conference.

I saw it in the waiting
room at the hospital.

- That was supposed to be my
press conference. I have watched

snow and sleet and rain and
everything else hit Blairsville

and miss us; I have
endured years of watching

that windbag of a
man steal the spotlight.

This was my moment,
my... My big moment,

and now, "Poof!" It's gone.

- Martha, you did so much
more than speak to the press.

You cleared the roads,
you kept people safe,

you worked with
Derek and his staff.

Now that is what
people will remember

and that is what makes
you a great leader.

Even though it took
place here in Middleton,

that was Darrell's
press conference,

not your own.

I think you'll find

that when you're ready to
talk, your audience will be

anxiously awaiting to hear
what you have to share.

- Oh...

- Thanks.

- Oh, you got me pie!
- I did.
- And tea?

- I did.
- Thank you.

- Thank you.

That was an interesting
evening together.

- Certainly not your
average Saturday night.

- I'm glad I was here.
- Me too.

- I'm just glad I
could help him.

- You may not be
done helping people.

- Thank you.

As you all know,
Middleton was hit

with its worst
storm in 20 years,

and I wanted to let everyone
know what we were doing

to ensure the safety
of all of our citizens

and to give you an update
on the man rushed to hospital

who underwent emergency surgery.

But first, I would like
to thank some people:

Middleton's newest
resident, Dr. Sam Radford...

Our chief of police,

Derek Sanders...

And, of course,

Mayor Blankenship
and the good people

of Blairsville for
their thoughts,

their prayers... and
their snowplows.

Is it wrong that I enjoyed that,

the rush of emergency surgery?
- Mm, you miss it?

- I can't lie; it's why
I become a doctor.

- You look very at
home in a hospital.

I thrive in chaos.

That can't be good.
- It was good for Brian.

- Well, you helped.
- Mm.

Our first medical coproduction.

The meeting of
feelings and facts.

- And trust.
- Lots of that.

So, I have to ask: why...

Why not take a job in a
town that has a hospital

so you can do this work
that you obviously love?

- Well, I'm a single dad.

In New York I had
housekeepers and doormen

and it was just time
to put my son first.

Running an ER,
working in a hospital,

it's not exactly
family-friendly...

Not Nick-friendly.

Something had to give. Turns
out that something was me.

- Tea?

- I thought you'd never ask.

Thanks.

- Sir...

- The door was open
but no one was here.

I'm late, but I'm hoping that

my reservation is still good.

This is Grey House?
- Linda.

- Linda Wallace.
- My ex-wife.

- Hello, Sam.
