Original subtitles

[Rhonda] Previously on School Spirits...

[Calvert] There are spirits further down.

Older than us.

- [thunderclap] - Ralph.

Meet me. Tonight. During the graveyard shift.

- Where is she?! - [Maddie] I'm right here.

- [Taser zapping] - [thuds]

So it was you that he took.

[Jensen] Nothing you do matters.

You can just outlast every consequence.

- [doorbell rings] - Maddie! He's got a gun!

[heavy breathing]

Well, would you look at that.

- [glass shatters] - [water rushes]

- [screams] No! - Simon!

- [gunshot] - [Xavier] Maddie!

[energetic, tense music playing]

[car engine revving]

[tires screeching]

[Maddie] Help! We need help!

[Xavier] Hey! He's back here!

[energetic music continues]

[medics chattering]

[indistinct radio chatter]

[medics chattering]

- [medic 1] Right here. - [medic 2] You got that?

[medic 1] Check his vitals.

Check his pulse.

[medic 3] Active arterial bleed.

[indistinct chatter]

- [Maddie panting] - What happened?

[exhales] Uh, he shot-

Uh, he- We don't know, we don't know.

[medic 3] Okay, we got it from here.

Maddie, come on. You're fucking covered in blood.

- You okay? - [Maddie] Mm?

Hey, look at me. Are you okay?

Oh, no, no, no. You guys can't be here.

What? What are you talking about?

- Nobody knows that you guys- - Maddie!

Hey, nobody knows that you guys were there.

No, we're coming in.

It wouldn't hurt to have a couple witnesses.

[scoffs] It might hurt them.

Can we at least wait outside in case something happens?

- [medic] Out of the way. - Okay, we'll just text you.

Go, go!

- Come on. - [medic] Out of the way!

Listen, we need to get our story straight.

What actually happened?

I told you, Xavier, he shot himself.

And then he disappeared.

What the fuck? Disappeared? What does that mean?

He took a door.

There was no door in the corn maze.

I know that. The door was in my visions.

[Xavier] Door in your vision...

- How is that possible? - Oh, my God. Xavier.

His body. If Kyle's body's here, then it's vacant.

It's not gonna last very long. We need to get it back.

- Okay, I'm gonna go find him. - Okay, hurry.

[uneasy, eerie music playing]

[Kyle] Where are you taking us?

[whirring]

Down.

[elevator clunks]

[light buzzing]

[chain rattling]

[Dave] How'd you die again?

- [button clicks] - The day the hospital opened...

the elevator plummeted.

[Dave and Kyle screaming]

[elevator stops]

[intense, energetic music plays]

[music fades]

I've got a report of a gunshot victim. Where?

He's over there.

All due respect, sheriff,

we prefer to make sure patients survive

before they get interrogated.

- This one's lost a lot of blood. - Okay.

Sheriff! Sheriff Baxter.

The person you should be questioning is your son.

And the Nears girl.

[energetic music resumes, builds]

[music ends]

[door opens]

He's not here. We checked the whole school.

Mr. Martin, where the fuck is Simon?

How am I supposed to tell Maddie that I lost him?

He couldn't have just vanished.

I mean, even when we died, we didn't just vanish.

So he has to be somewhere.

Where?

I don't know. But we will find him.

Hmm?

Look, if that flood had killed him,

he'd be standing here with us right now, right?

Yeah.

My fear is that that place took him...

all of them, body and soul,

somewhere else.

[soft music playing]

What? What is it?

I think I know how to get somewhere else.

Wally, we don't know where that leads.

You're right.

We don't.

But what we do know is that nobody

has ever come back from that.

["Long Gone" by Anna Waronker playing]

l* Don't forget me when I'm gone ?

? Don't forget me when I'm long gone ?

? Will you forget me... ?

? Don't forget me when I'm gone ?

? Will you forget me when I'm gone? ?

? Will you forget me... ?

? Don't forget me when I'm gone ?

[song ends]

[Sheriff] How did you two end up bringing Jensen to the hospital?

You got five seconds.

We went to his house

to talk to him about the school.

We found him like that.

I said we need to get him to the hospital.

Tried to call 911.

- And? - No reception.

You just better pray

- when this guy wakes up... - [phone vibrates]

...he confirms everything you told me.

[Maddie gasps]

It's my mom.

- I'm sorry. - No, it's okay. Go.

- Dad- - No.

There's something else you need to explain to me.

I got an email from that young lady over there.

[uneasy music plays]

I can tell by the look on your face

you already knew that that photo was timestamped

the night you got hit.

[scoffs]

You know, I'm not gonna have

the same argument with you again.

Right.

Right, fine. Yeah. We've been here before.

You don't believe me, I get that.

I didn't say that.

I didn't say that.

I gotta admit, it's getting harder for me to deny

that there isn't something going on.

I might not understand it,

but it's hard for me to believe

that that girl over there

would do anything to hurt you intentionally.

I don't need to know all the details, Xavier.

But if this photo comes out,

I don't know how much longer I can protect you.

[sighs]

- [ominous music playing] - [metal grinding]

[hammer striking metal]

[Kyle] What is this place?

It's what was here before the hospital.

The foundry.

Who are they?

The Forgotten.

[eerie music builds]

[music fades]

[Xavier sighs]

[indistinct PA announcement]

[Xavier muttering indistinctly]

[sighs]

- [Maddie] Xavier. - Hey.

I-I can't find Kyle anywhere. You okay?

There's only so much you can get out with a paper towel.

Hey, there you are.

- [Maddie] Mr. Anderson. - This place is a maze.

Thank you so much for coming.

What happened?

Uh... [sniffles]

It's a long story.

I promise to catch you up, but...

[softly] ...things have only gotten weirder.

Um... front door.

Again, thank you so much.

- I'd go with you, but- - No, no, no.

- It's a long drive. - No, I'm happy to do it.

That's great that she's getting some help.

You know I'd do anything for you and your mom, but...

How worried should I be right now? Are you okay?

Uh, I think so.

Or I hope I will be.

Well, hey, I-I mean it.

Whatever you need.

You take care of each other.

Uh, Mr. Anderson?

I was wondering if, um, what happened with...

what we went through

followed you?

Like, are you having any weird dreams

or seeing things or anything like that?

No.

Well, my face is still healing, but...

that was a hell of a wake-up call.

I think I'm still trying to wrap my head around all of it.

I certainly don't look at life the same way.

I'll get your mom home safe.

Hey, I'm gonna keep looking for Kyle, alright?

You go to Simon. I'll text you any updates, yeah?

- Okay. - Alright.

[soft music playing]

[eerie music playing]

[hammer striking metal]

[steam hissing]

[Kyle] What is it we're looking for exactly?

[Nurse Calvert] For how it got in.

[sparks crackling]

Hey.

I think I found something.

There's footprints leading from there.

- [low roaring] - [yelps]

- [Kyle screams] - [Dave] No!

[screaming]

Back to the elevator!

[Kyle grunts, exclaims]

[monitor beeping]

[monitor flatlines]

[woman] What's going on?

- [sobbing] - [nurse] She's crashing.

[flatlining continues]

[nurse 2] Beside the bed? All right.

- Check her vitals for me. - [nurse 2] Okay.

[nurse 1] All right, let's get her hooked up.

[gasps] Fucking finally.

We gotta go, buddy.

Your body, it is here and it is available.

- What? - K.C. Jensen. He's here.

- You can- - Go back to my body.

But we have to go right now.

Okay? He's been injured. He lost a lot of blood.

Wait, what? How much blood?

What if...

- I... - Die?

If he flatlines, you end up right back

where you started, okay?

[uneasy music playing]

[Claire] Deb is seriously trying to say

Maddie hurt Jensen?

Maddie lives rent-free in that witch's head. My God.

Wait, how could she think Maddie is capable of shooting someone?

Probably because Deb is.

- Like mother, like daughter. - Mm-hmm.

[phone buzzes]

Oh, hey, Maddie's coming down.

She wants us to take her to the school

so she can talk to Simon.

We should split up.

Attack from different angles.

I'm going back to your place.

Why? Are you gonna attack with a nap?

Who's taking a nap?

Look, my stepdad is a part of this whole thing.

He's getting something out of this.

If I can figure out a way to get

enough information on him,

then it can help us bring down Deb.

- Mm-hmm. - And how you gonna do that?

What, you're just gonna be, "Hey, Jeff,

get up to anything illegal today?"

Okay, you guys get to school. I'll call Diego for a ride.

Trust me, I'll find something.

Jeff is successful, but he's kind of an idiot.

Okay, do what you gotta do, but be careful.

I can't take any more bad news today.

Washed down a hole?

Shouldn't he have been thrown into the library

like all of you were?

You would think that, but he wasn't.

- He's... - Do not say gone.

We have to think this through.

I met Van Heidt last night.

He's the ghost who's been in Kyle's body since 2004.

Van Heidt? The child killer?

- Excuse me? - He was wearing the ring.

I called him out. He admitted it.

And when he realized we were onto him, he ran.

- We chased him. - You did what?

And when we finally caught up to him,

I slipped into one of my visions.

Visions?

She's been having dreams, or waking night...

She's been seeing things.

And in my last one, everything turned red

and I found myself back in the boiler room.

Van Heidt shot himself in the leg,

and then disappeared through a door

that looked exactly like the front door of my house.

Alright, wait, wait, wait. Slow down.

You saw a door in your visions?

In the boiler room?

I know it sounds crazy, but it felt real.

[softly] Could it be?

[Mr. Martin] Maddie.

Could your scar...

have followed you home?

I mean, think about it.

You touched this side of the veil,

and then went back.

It sounds like you're...

you're slipping back into your scar,

back into...

The ghost world.

Sounds like astral projection.

[Maddie] But I'm not slipping anywhere.

I can't even get the door to open.

I can't even get through it.

[Yuri] Wait, wait, wait.

Do we even know how Van Heidt got out

of the church scar in the first place?

Ralph.

After the lightning storm,

they never found his body.

We always assumed he drowned in the river.

But it never quite made sense 'cause...

he was yards away when I left him.

Oh, no.

[Mr. Martin] He was struck on the grounds

where the church used to be.

Van Heidt must have used Ralph

to get out that day.

He saw an opportunity and he took it.

And now Ralph's spirit is stuck here.

With that pastor who got pulled in.

In a scar that doesn't belong to either of them.

[Mr. Martin] He's been doing this for almost a century.

Swapping from one body to the next.

So Van Heidt used Ralph

and then... and then later Kyle,

or K.C. Jensen.

And then Maddie saw him in her vision

and he got away.

So then, where is he now?

And who's he going to kill next?

[dramatic music swells]

[keyboard clacking]

- [alert beeps] - [scoffs]

[alert beeps]

[sighs]

[knocking]

My mom thought you might be hungry.

I didn't tell her that cyberstalking your stepdad

doesn't necessarily drum up an appetite.

[alert beeps]

Didn't peg you for the hacker type.

Not to say I don't think it's...

[alert chimes]

[Claire] Ah, yes.

- ...cool as hell. - Finally!

Well, it doesn't exactly take a genius to hack a boomer.

Dude.

You've been wearing the same clothes for two days.

Are you saying I smell?

No, no. I'm just saying

you got this kind of...

glaze of mania over your eyes.

Take five seconds.

Eat something.

[chuckles softly]

Thanks.

So...

what's the plan?

You gonna go home or

you finally gonna unpack that puppy?

I want you to know how much it meant

that you guys took me in.

Oh. [chuckles]

Another mouth to force-feed sancocho to?

I'm pretty sure my mom was thrilled.

I'm serious.

You and Nicole are very lucky.

Not everyone gets that kind of family.

It's really hard to leave.

Well...

It was a bit of a trick question

'cause I was starting to get the sense

you were never gonna go.

[both chuckle]

Which would, you know, be a...

a good thing.

[soft music playing]

Sorry, is that weird? [chuckles]

It's not weird.

[both chuckle]

Alright, well, I'm gonna leave you to it.

I did not mean to interrupt.

[laughs]

Um, stay.

[sighs]

I would actually love an accomplice.

Okay.

[chuckles]

- [uneasy music playing] - [sighs]

Simon!

[music intensifies]

[music fades]

It was a gunshot wound.

But he... you're here.

You can...

I can go back to my body.

[Xavier] Yeah.

[Dave exhales] Oh, thank God you're okay.

Twenty years.

Listen, I'm not trying to be insensitive or anything,

but I think you really need to just get in there.

I'm not sure how much time there is.

Oh, also, um, Maddie and I, they think that we shot him.

So we're gonna kinda need

- to tell them we didn't. - Hmm.

Uh, did you?

No, of course not.

I shot a man once.

Bonus, you're really rich now. Huh?

Can you help me out here?

Um... [clears throat]

Uh, what happened to you was terrible

and it was out of your control.

That's not a good pep talk.

But this is not.

You're getting a second chance

at the life you were robbed of.

You were never supposed to be here.

[sighs]

No more... death.

No more being stuck.

Right?

Go.

[hopeful music playing]

Go.

[music intensifies]

[electricity fluctuating]

- [Nicole] Hey. - Jesus, it didn't even ring.

I'm staring at my phone.

Not much else to do in a school parking lot.

Clearly. Is Maddie still inside?

[Nicole] Yeah.

- Did you find anything yet? - [Claire] Yes.

Because I realized something extremely obvious.

Jeff is a 50-something upper-middle-class dad.

Correct. You just now realized that?

[Claire] And what do all 50-something

upper-middle-class dads have in common?

They like golf?

They use the same password for everything.

Netflix, bank accounts,

the Business Insider subscription

Jeff gave me for my 14th birthday.

Oh, my God. He deserves to get hacked for that gift alone.

And his work email.

"Birdie-1-1-2 exclamation point."

I was right! Golf!

Apparently, it's also his dog's name.

Okay, so what else did you find?

There are tons of emails between Jeff and guess who?

Split River's very own

walking, talking Talbots catalog?

- [Claire] Bingo. - Oh, my gosh. What do they say?

[Claire] Oh, shit.

[Nicole] What?

[Diego] Holy fuck.

[Claire] Finder's fee?

[tense music playing]

[Wally] Do you think Mr. Martin could be right?

That you're, like,

somehow traveling back to the dead world?

Xavier said it looks like I leave my body.

That I just space out and keep going about my business.

Like I'm totally gone.

Well, I guess the things that haunt us

don't just disappear after we fix one problem.

What if there's a way to get to Simon?

What if that's what it's telling me?

If I could just get my door to open, I'll find him there.

I mean, Simon got pulled into a scar, right?

What if that's the only way out?

So, basically, you just want to follow Van Heidt?

Not follow Van Heidt, find Simon.

You're not taking your door, you're alive.

We've been through this.

Living people in the dead world,

it never really worked out for us, okay?

You could vanish into thin air. You could be gone. Dust.

You... You're not taking that chance.

Wally, if that could work,

and I'm the only one who might be able to find him,

even if I'm wrong, even if it's wrong,

I can't just give up.

Simon ended up here trying to save me.

I'd do the same for him.

Maddie...

- you're not the only one- - [phone pings]

[gasps] It's Xavier.

I have to get back to the hospital.

Okay.

Just please don't do anything crazy until I see you again.

Okay.

Wait, Wally, what were you going to say?

Oh, uh, nothing.

[soft guitar melody playing]

Wait, there is something I wanted to say.

["A Knock at the Door" by Ethal Cain playing]

? Satan's in the state pen ?

? You're here with both your fists... ?

I love you, Maddie Nears.

I love you too.

? Everything I've loved ?

? I've loved it straight to death ?

? So I'm still scared of that knock on the door ?

[sighs]

[door closes]

[sighs]

Hey, I just saw Maddie leave.

How's she doing?

[sniffles]

Better than me.

[sighs]

Rhonda,

do you think if you got your door,

you could leave?

Sorry, what? Fuck yeah!

God, I'd be out of here faster than

Charley babbles when he's nervous.

You would leave all this?

Us?

Quinn?

["A Knock at the Door" continues]

I would.

Yeah, I-I truly don't believe we're meant to stay here.

If we were, why would there be a way out?

I'd want all of us to go if we got the chance.

I wouldn't wish this life on my worst enemy.

I wouldn't even wish it on you. [chuckles]

What do you think is behind those doors?

Where do you think Janet and Dawn are right now?

Not here. Lucky bitches.

Do you remember when our biggest problem

was trying to break into the freezer to get a Fudgsicle?

Don't confuse easy with tedious.

It wasn't, to me.

When I was alive, I never wanted to leave this place.

I never even wanted to graduate.

My sister would always say to me,

"Wally, do you really wanna be the guy

that peaked in high school?"

[chuckles] And I didn't think that sounded so bad, you know.

I loved high school.

I still do.

That was a long time ago.

You're allowed to change your mind.

I know, but all the bitching and moaning about crossing over,

Rhonda, I don't think I ever really wanted to go.

I-I never wanted things to change.

Especially now, when we have no idea what's happening next.

If I have learned anything

in my decades I spent stuck here...

we don't know anything.

We can't.

Hell, I didn't even believe

in an afterlife when I was alive.

What do I know?

It's all a leap of faith.

But...

wherever we go, whenever we go,

I will really miss you.

[exhales shakily]

Football star, Wally Clark?

My friend, Wally Clark.

[laughs softly]

How the hell did you get here so fast? Where's Maddie?

I dropped her off at the hospital.

Then I ignored all the stop signs on my way back.

[exhales] What's going on?

The emails straight up say that if she delivers

Jeff the contract for the demo and the new school,

that she gets a massive kickback.

How much money are we talking about?

A lot.

[Nicole] Huh. It's truly shocking.

[Claire] Shocking? It's completely illegal.

No, I mean the fact that they laid it out all in emails.

Isn't that Fraud 101? Don't put anything in writing?

So what now? Should we go to the cops?

Jeff will know it's me.

Oh, maybe we should drop it off anonymously?

Have you been to a police station?

Um, have you?

It's not like it is on TV.

Some secretary's gonna drop this in the recycling bin.

Cops are a dead end.

Wait.

I know who will help us.

Hey, so my dad's in there right now.

He's talking to him.

He's talking to Kyle? He's awake?

[door opens]

[Sheriff Baxter] Hey, come on in.

- Oh, oh, oh. - Excuse me.

I have a right to be here too.

Mr. Jensen?

Is there something you wanna say to these two?

[exhales softly]

Thank you.

You saved my life.

What?

Yeah, the doctor said

the bullet just nicked an artery in my calf.

Says I'm very lucky.

Lucky? You were shot.

If it wasn't these two, then who did it?

Dr. Hunter-Price. I already took his statement.

And now Mr. Jensen just needs rest.

No. No!

This is... I know these two had something to do with this.

- Seriously? - He just said-

[Jensen] Look, ma'am.

I didn't see who did this.

He was wearing a mask.

But I do know, I wouldn't be alive if it wasn't for them.

There you go. That settles that.

[scoffs]

[mutters under breath]

[whispers] Fuck! Unbelievable!

[eerie music playing]

Ralph?

[whispers] Ralph?

Are you here?

It's me. Everett.

[eerie music continues]

I'm so sorry, Ralph.

[wood creaking softly]

There you are.

I think...

that I finally understand what happened to you that day.

I...

I thought...

We all thought...

that you died.

[gasping]

But...

none of us knew.

We couldn't have imagined...

you were trapped.

I am so sorry.

[gulps]

[faint voice speaking]

[young Everett] Wake up.

Can you hear me? Wake up!

[voice echoes]

Do you know where Simon is?

[eerie music intensifies]

[eerie music continues]

[music intensifies]

[door rattling]

[music fades]

[Xavier] I can't believe we're actually

kinda taking a win here.

My dad might almost believe us. Kyle got his body back.

[sighs, groans]

Hey, you okay?

Can you please hold her hand for me?

Hey.

- [Maddie breathes heavily] - Hey.

Simon's still gone. And so is Van Heidt.

I just want someone to tell me what to do, where to go.

I don't wanna be in charge anymore.

I feel so fucking lost.

This is my fault.

[scoffs]

No, it's not.

[Maddie] Is he here?

["To Be Seen" by Searows plays]

Tell her we've been this scared before

and gotten through it.

[kids] Trick or treat!

[Dave] One Halloween, I lost you for a second.

The scariest 30 seconds of my life.

[Sandra] Yay! Home safe.

It's wild out there this year, huh?

I ran out of that candy an hour ago.

Never seen so many werewolves in one night.

- Must be a full moon. - Ooh!

I turn around for two seconds,

she followed a guy with the same costume.

I found her two doors down. She was a mess.

- [sighs] - Hey.

Why don't we take a look at what you got?

Mm-hmm.

Yeah, I think it's time to sort out all this candy!

- Whoa! - Whoa! That is so much candy!

You know, only people with the best costumes

get all that loot.

Hey, Mads.

How about I go get your PJs

so you can get cozy.

I'll be right back.

? I would do anything to be seen... ?

Hmm.

Being lost is really scary, huh, Bubba?

I was scared too when I turned around and I couldn't see you.

But no matter how scared we both are,

I promise, I will always find you and bring you home.

Okay?

[clock ticking]

I have an idea. Just...

["To Be Seen" continues]

? Turn out the lights and go back to sleep ?

? Wait till the water runs clear ?

? Living through winter and apathy ?

[young Maddie] What is it?

? Watch me as I disappear... ?

This is called a compass.

We use them to find our way.

? Is it enough that it's clean? ?

In case you ever feel lost again.

? Already washing my hands of it ?

? I would do anything to be seen... ?

[Dave] She needs to know something else.

That necklace wasn't from me.

It was from her mom.

I always felt guilty I'd blew the gift and never told her.

Maddie, he wants you to know that...

your mom got you that necklace.

He's sorry he never told you.

My mom?

We should go.

[music fades]

[woman over PA] Mr. Moyer, please call reception.

Mr. Moyer, please call reception.

What a relief to see you feeling better, Mr. Jensen.

Yeah, thanks.

Oh, you gave us a scare there.

[giggles] Split River cannot afford

to lose one of its finest citizens.

[laughs]

- Listen, I- - Ow! Ow! Ow!

Ouch! Ouch! Ouch! [chuckles]

Oh, I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry.

I am so sorry to bring up business

at a time when you're obviously still recovering,

but, you know... I need that money

to get the ball rolling on everything.

Money?

The donation?

Remember? You promised at the meeting.

Yes, to, um, grease the wheels a little bit,

appease the school board?

And get my cut of our little deal?

For the transition.

Transition?

I need that money to give to the school board-

I'm so sorry, but I really don't know what you're talking about.

We don't have time for this!

We have to get the money to the school board

or everything is going to unravel,

and I, for one, am not going to take the blame.

- Do you understand me? - Okay, okay.

- Please, please. - Visiting hours

ended a long time ago.

[tense music playing]

This is really important to me.

I'll lose my family, I'll lose my name.

- I'll lose my reputation. - Ma'am? You're scaring him.

- You need to leave. - Shh!

- We had a deal! - I need some help in here!

We had a deal!

You wanted this as much as I did!

You said so! You said so!

- Please, you- - [nurse] Come on. Time's up.

[nurse 2] Ma'am?

Fine! Fine!

Fine! You wanna play it that way?

I am going to mow that fucking school down all by my damn self!

Nobody plays me, Jensen!

[breathing heavily]

Let's go, Livia.

Now!

Livia.

What are you doing?

Let's go.

I cannot believe you.

[Deb gasps]

Li... Li... Livvy?

[tense music building]

- [thudding] - [wood breaking, creaking]

[eerie droning]

[liquid dripping]

Ralph pointed you down here?

Yeah.

What is this place?

This is what I saw... from the water.

One, two, three, four, five, six, seven...

There's eight.

Kind of like there's one for each of them.

[Yuri] Each of who?

The kids who died.

[Quinn] But... these aren't doors,

these are windows.

Maybe they're both.

This is what White Eyes forgot.

This is what Ralph was trying to show us.

What?

The children.

The choir.

They've already crossed over.

White Eyes did it.

He got them out.

They were so young.

I'm glad that they weren't, um...

I just hope that wherever their doors led them,

they're happy.

Maybe Simon is there too.

[Wally inhales shakily]

Hey. W-Where are you going?

I-I just have to take care of something.

? I remember searching, watching, waiting ?

I'll see you soon.

? For the end of days to come ?

? Thinking God had made me something special ?

? For living on the run ?

? I remember when I moved out, moved on ?

? With nothing good to say to you, ooh ?

? Now I'm just a little older, kinder... ?

[deep exhale]

Hail Mary.

[droning builds]

? My bitter days are through ?

[light shimmering]

? Even when your bag is empty ?

? Even when your ego's bruised ?

? I will never come down swinging ?

? I still want the best for you ?

? I still want the best for you ?

[lights buzzing]

[singer vocalizing]

? I remember always second guessing ?

? How I'm meant to handle you ?

[electricity fluctuating]

? Now I know I'm greater than the sum of ?

? What I stood to lose... ?

Okay, okay, so it wasn't you. And it wasn't us.

Okay, so that leaves...

No. No.

No, he...

He promised that if he ever was gonna...

he would say something.

His door showed up the day she left.

Maddie.

I don't think he was planning on taking it.

Until today.

[stammering] What changed?

Simon.

A leap of faith.

[door opens]

Oh, here you guys are.

I have good news.

["Wish You the Best" continues]

What?

? I still want the best for you ?

What's wrong?

[singer vocalizes]

[song ends]

[clock ticking]

[vehicle approaching outside]

[vehicle stops]

[vehicle doors opening]

[vehicle doors shut]

[footsteps approaching]

[exhales shakily]

[door lock clicking]

[Mr. Anderson] Home sweet home.

[Sandra sighs]

Oh, you're up.

I figured you'd be asleep.

- Maddie, what's wrong? - [Maddie sniffles]

[breathes shakily]

It wasn't me, Mom.

The person who came home with you a few weeks ago.

It wasn't me.

What are you talking about?

I was... I was... I was really scared to tell you

because I was worried you wouldn't believe me.

[sniffles] And I can't do it anymore, Mom.

I can't, I can't.

I can't do it anymore.

You're scaring me. What's wrong?

[Maddie sniffles]

A few days ago,

when I told you that the person

who hurt me in that boiler room was you,

um, that wasn't the whole story.

[sniffles]

- Okay. - [sniffles]

I-I died.

[clock ticking]

It's true, Sandra.

I think you knew.

I think you knew deep in your bones that that wasn't me.

When I first came home, that wasn't me.

Well, you-you were traumatized,

you weren't yourself.

No, I wasn't.

Her name was Janet Hamilton.

She died in 1958.

And when she took my body, I got stuck at the school.

Or, well, my-my spirit did.

And I wasn't alone.

Um...

There's Rhonda.

And Yuri. And Quinn.

And, um, in 1994,

Charley, he died from, um...

An allergic reaction.

Charley Kitani.

Uh, I was a senior. How do you...?

Did you read that somewhere?

He's my friend.

And...

Wally, um...

I don't think I can ever see him again. [sniffles]

And Simon...

Simon's the same, Mom. I lost him.

[Sandra] I don't understand. What is this?

I know it sounds... impossible.

But, Sandra, hear her out.

[tender music playing]

[Maddie sighs]

My necklace.

It wasn't from Dad. You bought it for me.

What? How...

How do you know that?

He told me.

- I... - Why didn't you tell me?

You let me believe he gave it to me.

My favorite thing, all these years.

Because it made you happy.

Oh.

[cries, sniffles]

[Sandra] I believe you.

I believe you.

[sniffling]

[music fades]

[man on recording] You are strong.

I am strong.

You can do hard things.

I can do hard things.

- You are- - [knocking]

[exclaims]

What the heck are you kids doing here at this hour?

We think we have a way to save the school.

But we need your help.

[groans]

["Hell is Near" by St. Vincent playing]

? Empty cup ?

? And a can full of marigolds ?

? Half-burned candle, a picture pinned on the wall ?

? Letters, records, and ash on linoleum ?

? Signs of life, the beginning ?

- [sighs] - ? The beginning ?

? Our beginning, begin again ?

? I was bare ?

? And your word was still warm in my hand ?

? I was bare ?

? Wanted all under Heaven allowed ?
