Original subtitles

Harper: Previously, on "Secrets of Sulphur Springs"...

Oh, no!

There used to be a crystal here.

It's gone. Until we find it,

you're stuck here being Harper.

Whatever you normally do, Harper will cover for you

until you guys switch back.

Harper, are you feeling okay?

Yes. I think I'm just...

Having a rough day?

What game are you playing?

It's a spirit board.

We're trying to contact the ghost

who pulled down the wallpaper.

- Wyatt: It's her! - Zoey: The ghost.

The lady we saw through the window.

Her name is Mrs. Barker.

She's definitely not a ghost.

My friend Savannah just sent me a picture

and I need you to take a look at it.

It's the maintenance man at the hotel in 1962.

His name is Sam.

"Help. Stuck in 1930."

Hang on, Harper. I'm coming.

- Who said you could touch that? - Sam.

What if somehow he's the key to all of this?

Nooo!

(Screaming)

I'm sorry, okay?

I never should've taken that thing.

I was gonna put it back. I swear!

(Thunder rumbling)

Forget this!

(Shimmering)

(Bubbling)

*SECRETS OF SULPHUR SPRINGS* Season 02 Episode 04

Episode Title: "Wrong Place, Wrong Time" (To be) Aired on: January 28, 2022.

Daisy, there might be a way

we could get the portal working again.

A way that involves your brother.

How? Sam is only a child,

or he was when I last saw him.

Yeah, but when he grows up,

he turns the radio into a time machine.

I... I'm sure of it.

We just need to find out how he did it.

Do you remember him working on anything like that?

He showed me sketches of all his contraptions, but...

Could you recreate them?

I don't know.

Even if I remember the images correctly,

I could never put together how Sam's invention works.

He's the genius, not me.

I'm gonna be stuck here forever, aren't I?

No. We'll get you back, Daisy.

One way or another.

How can you be so certain?

Because if we don't,

then you'll never grow up in the '30s

like you're supposed to.

You'll never have kids.

Harper will never be born.

Just trust me, we can't mess with time like that.

And besides, there's no way I'm leaving Harper

stranded all alone back there.

You really care for her, don't you?

Yeah.

(leaves rustling)

It has to be here somewhere.

You are not supposed to be here.

You built this?

Oh, my gosh, I have so many questions!

- This radio... - Is an old piece of junk.

Just like everything else in this basement.

It is not a toy.

Well, trust me, I know that, but...

No, but... No! What you've been doing is you've been snooping.

I've seen you follow me around the hotel.

Well, I haven't been snooping.

Okay, well, maybe I have, but can you blame me?

I saw you coming out of a secret room

and then collecting all those cables in the barn.

I thought you're up to something, and I was right.

You're building a time machine.

That's a good one!

You know, I think you're reading a little too much H. G. Wells.

Now, I love a good story.

It's not a story. You don't have to lie, Sam.

Not to me.

I know what this radio really is.

Or at least what it will be.

I've used it.

(Scoffs)

Who put you up to this?

Another counselor? A camper?

I've heard what they call me.

Moss Man.

You know, I guess I'm just a perfect target

for this kind of prank.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I have real work to do.

- But... - Go on.

Thanks.

He didn't even go inside.

It's almost like he doesn't want the job.

I don't think he does.

Whoa! All this just to replace a few leaky pipes?

There's gotta be another plumber in town we can call.

None that'll come out here. (scoffs)

I mean, as soon as they heard the word "Tremont,"

it's like they couldn't get off the phone quick enough.

You know, once we fix it up,

people will change their minds about the hotel.

We just need the chance.

(People laughing)

You hear that?

♪

(woman laughing) Hey, stop.

What's going on?

Oh, sorry. Is this your land?

We didn't mean to bother anyone.

Woman: We were just hiking past

and saw the water here.

Looked too good to pass up.

The springs.

They're back!

Woman: We'll just get out of your way.

You don't think all the rain from last night

could've done this, do you?

No.

It makes no sense, but...

You know what this means?

This means business, tourists, profit.

This means our luck is changing.

(Water running)

(Knock on door)

Topher, Mother instructed me to tell you

to get dressed for school,

but you cannot wear your man‐spider shirt because it's...

Did you go out in the storm last night?

Oh, I, uh...

must've been sleepwalking.

Probably all those gummy worms I ate before bed.

Messed with my REM.

Look, don't tell Mom, okay?

Jess: Harper! Topher!

We're running late,

and if you don't get your butts in the car

in the next two minutes, you can walk to school.

Uh...

I don't mind walking.

You don't?

I mean, uh, me neither.

Okay, what's up with you two? Hmm?

Topher, you've got that "I'm hiding something" look on your face.

He overslept, but don't worry,

I'll make sure he gets to school on time.

Fine, but get a move on.

Have I ever told you

you're the best big sister ever?

Come on, do something!

Radio announcer: ...so delicious, you'll swear it came from Grandma's kitchen.

And stick around for your favorite serial and mine,

"The Man Out of Time," with Dutch Kelley.

Thought you hated this program.

It's about time travel?

It's about an adventurer

who journeys along the timeline

to prevent the world from ending.

Does he use a portal?

And does he ever get, you know, stuck?

Weird question, I know.

Sorry. It's just interesting, all this science fiction stuff.

Time travel and visions...

The visions aren't science fiction.

Right, right. Of course.

But, um, are there rules for them?

Do they just pop up randomly or...

Have you forgotten everything Mother taught us?

Uh... No. No, I remember, yeah.

Sorry, I must be overtired or something.

Out late last night?

More like up early this morning.

5:00 a. M. With the hens.

I'll never take an omelet for granted again.

(Chuckles)

Anyway, um, enjoy the show.

(Clears throat)

(Indistinct screaming)

Is that supposed to be scary?

It's sad, I know.

But this is one of the best ghost sites

on the Internet.

If we want more information on ectoplasm

or whatever caused this,

then we need to find experts.

Especially now that Topher's ghosting us for some reason.

Maybe he saw a ghost in the basement,

and he's too freaked out to come back here.

Wish we could see a real ghost,

and not just some confused old lady wandering around the yard.

Just because we were wrong about her

doesn't mean we're wrong about The Tremont being haunted.

But this site doesn't have the info we need.

It'd be faster if we start our own page.

Then we can post all the ghostly activity we see,

and the experts would come to us.

That's a great idea!

We'll get way more views than the time we tried the dance video.

I thought we agreed to never talk about that again.

Sarah: What are you kids doing?

You should be halfway to school by now.

To be continued.

Griffin: There you are!

I stayed up half the night

searching the hotel for the crystal,

but no luck.

Are you ready for today?

Truthfully, no.

It's a lot to ask,

but until we find that thing,

you have to go to school to maintain cover as Harper.

I mean, you've been pulling it off so far.

Mrs. Dunn and Topher still believe you're her, right?

I think so.

Though Topher was acting a little strange today.

Said he was sleepwalking outside last night.

In a storm?

Hey, Daisy. It's okay.

I mean, it's just school.

Couldn't have changed that much in 90 years.

Look, just... sit in class.

Don't talk back.

Maybe don't talk at all.

I don't know if I can do this.

Just think of it as an adventure.

That's how Harper will look at it.

But I'm not Harper! That's the problem.

I know you want me to be her,

but this is all so much.

My brother invented a time machine.

My mother's potentially a ghost.

I'm stuck in the future.

Everything here is so fast and bright,

and there's so much beeping everywhere.

I've done everything you've asked, Griffin,

but I'm still not her.

(School bell rings) - I don't know how much longer I can pretend.

But you have to!

Harper's whole life is at stake.

Look, I'll handle everything else

if you could just get through today.

One day. You can do that, can't you?

(Indistinct chatter)

You're in my seat.

Oh, um, sorry.

Everyone all settled?

Good.

We're starting today with a pop quiz...

(students groaning)

...on the material we covered last week,

particularly the events leading up to the start of World War II.

There was a Second World War?

(Students laughing)

♪

(birds chirping)

Hello?

Oh! Who are you?

How did you get in here?

Uh, the front door.

Isn't this a hotel?

Oh. Y... Yes, but we're not open yet.

Ah. Um, my apologies.

Allison Carter, "The Sulphur Springs Siren."

Nice to meet you.

You're the new owners of The Tremont, correct?

Word is the springs have come back to life.

Very exciting.

We think so.

Those springs have a long history in this town.

Practically legend.

Everyone's clamoring to know...

When are you planning on reopening to the public?

I, uh, well, we... we have some work left to do here still, so...

Uh, Allison, I would love to set up a time

for a more formal interview at some point.

Uh, we can answer all of your questions,

even give you a tour of the hotel when it's ready.

And how soon would that be, exactly?

I've heard from a few contractors in town

there might be some issues.

Uh, just a couple hiccups, like with any renovation,

but we plan on opening real soon.

Shouldn't be having any more surprises.

Dad?

Okay, let's try this again.

(Distortion)

(light flashing)

(Chickens clucking)

(Goat bleats)

Judge, what brings you by?

I was hoping I could talk you into reconsidering my offer, Elijah.

I know the amount of work Grace put into this place.

Since she passed, rest her soul,

you can't deny things have been... slipping.

All farms go through a little struggle from time to time.

No, this is more than a little struggle, and you know it.

But I have the resources to give this land the care it deserves.

So you're really doing it, then?

- You're selling the farm? - But you can't!

Elijah: No need to holler.

No one's selling anything right this second.

You gotta understand, this farm is theirs as much as mine.

I want this place to always be here for 'em.

For their children too.

I understand.

What if I buy half the property? The farm and the springs.

You keep the house.

You and your family can stay on the land, on my word.

I need time to think.

Not too much, I hope.

You know how quickly things can go wrong on a farm.

One bad season.

Heck, one bad accident,

and all you'll leave your children with is a mountain of debt.

Hope to hear your answer soon.

We can't sell the land, even if we get to keep the house.

It's not right. What would Mother say?

Wish I knew.

Sam, do you trust that man?

Sometimes, I don't know who to trust.

(Sander whirring)

You get settled in okay upstairs?

Uh, yes, thank you.

I'm sorry I interrupted your meeting with that reporter.

Hopefully, she'll come back

when we're actually ready for the publicity.

She will. It's impressive, what you're doing here.

I didn't expect to hear that,

considering how you felt on your last visit.

I know.

I'm sorry for what I said then, Bennett.

And since you told me what really happened to Savannah,

I, um...

Well, I've been reevaluating some things.

And I don't think I've always been the father

that you've needed me to be.

And I'd like to make up for my last visit.

But more than that,

I want to help you bring this place back to life.

I...

I... I don't know what to say.

Say you'll accept my help.

The springs coming back, that changes things.

And with the right amount of attention,

this... this place could actually be

a real investment opportunity.

Ah!

Shoulda guessed.

I appreciate the offer, Dad, but...

Sarah: It's definitely something for us to discuss.

What's to discuss?

With just a few phone calls,

I'll have a dozen workers over.

(Sander powers up)

Sarah: Are... Are you okay?

Ben: Huh! Must've been an electrical surge or something.

Dad, you're sure you're all right?

- That was no electrical surge. - No way!

I think our ghost is getting really ticked off.

You wanted to see me after school, ma'am?

Harper, yes. Thank you for coming.

Have a seat.

Anything you would like to share with me?

What?

You got every single question on the quiz wrong,

the ones you bothered to fill in, that is.

It's not like you at all!

Uh, I know it's not. Am I in trouble?

Mrs. Roth: You're not here for punishment, Harper.

You're here because I'm concerned.

Are you... having trouble with school?

Or at home?

If you tell me, I might be able to help.

You could help me?

Really?

- Mrs. Roth: Of course. - Harper: Okay.

The truth is, I'm not who you think I am.

(Tsks)

Sam, there you are.

I've been looking all over for you.

Look, I don't have time for more nonsense.

You have plenty of time.

You have a whole time machine.

Oh, and I need you to finish building it,

like, right now.

My friend's trapped in 1930,

and she needs my help.

Okay. Okay.

You've quite the imagination. I give you that, but...

No! You have to listen!

I've been trying to think

how I can prove to you I've traveled through time,

but all I have is this.

"Guys, help. I'm stuck in 1930 and the hatch is gone.

"I'm trying my best pretending to be...

Daisy."

Daisy's my sister's name.

Yeah, Harper,

my friend, looks just like her.

She's related to you, actually.

So you should care about saving her too.

Pretending to be Daisy.

I know, um, it... it's confusing, but...

No, no. This...

This might actually answer some questions.

Questions I've had for a very long, long time.

(Chickens clucking)

Grace?

I could really use another message.

I think I know why you sent me here now.

Does it have something to do with what I saw in my visions

or maybe that judge guy?

(Knocking) Are you there?

Or am I literally just talking to myself?

(Sighs)

(Shimmering)

What're you doing in here?

Sam, you scared me. I'm just...

I'm, uh...

Coming up with another lie?

You've been acting so strange lately,

not knowing things you're supposed to,

saying funny words,

and now barely caring that Papa might sell the farm.

Sam...

And I saw you digging in the clearing last night.

I don't know what you were up to,

but I do know one thing for sure.

You're not my sister.

So who are you and where did you come from?

(Water running)

(Mysterious music playing)

Zoey: Next time on "Secrets of Sulphur Springs"...

We both used your machine. Daisy too.

I think I have an idea to get it up and running.

It's some kind of weird rock.

Why don't you guys do some research?

Wyatt: Oh, no! We broke it.

Let's work together. Save your sweet mother's farm.

Everything you just said is right here.

What do you mean? You're not who I think you are?

Bennet, Sr.: Once this hotel is done,

everyone in town will forget all about that ghost business.

- (Bulbs bursting) - Oh!

Topher told you he was sleepwalking?

He's gotta be hiding something.

Hello?

(Screams)
