Again, what was her name?

Maggie anyone?

Hmm.

All over the janitor's closet.

i thought she was the boiler room.

They think their phone is, like, still at school somewhere.

If you're looking for that make sense, you can stop.

Are you sure I'm dead?

Mm-hmm.

Maybe... maybe I'm in eat in a hospital somewhere

and an overworked nurse is stepping on my breathing tube.

And I just need to wake up. - Okay, wow.

But.

has anyone been reading too Stephen King.

A comma is a lovely thought , but not.

If you are here, you are here.

I hate this place.

Listen.

I understand.

It's just passing one prison to another.

The only difference is than high school

It used to seem like forever and now it really is.

Hey you.

What are you doing?

you can't throw that in the hallway.

Come on, give it to him here.

You can take it after school.

yeah that's something It hasn't changed for me.

My God, no.

The original "Carrie" it was great.

Why redo it? - My God, here we go.

No, I had this portfolio review last night,

and it was pretty intense.

I was, like, buzzing all night.

Nicole, what?

For schools?

How did it go?

Really good.

Two schools in Chicago they said they loved my stuff.

Dude, that's amazing.

Damn, look at us!

We are all making it.

Sayonara, river of shit!

Northwestern won't know what hit them!

I'm sorry.

My fault. I'm sorry.

He slowed down her roll.

We're not even in yet.

Here it comes, my favorite sound

Yeah.

You degenerates are late.

Come on. Come on.

I'm not even in your class.

you are late too and you are a degenerate.

Come on.

In in.

Ms. Nears, what is this, kurt cobain cosplay?

Wow, Mr. A. Really you get old with it.

I will take it like a compliment.

All in?

OK.

Is everything alright Maddie?

I just, uh--

I have to go to ladies bathroom.

Oh but that's why we have time between bells.

I will be so fast.

However, you won't come back TRUE?

Are you?

I love my job.

Jesus!

I scared you?

A bit.

What are you doing out of class?

I went out to make you the same question.

i thought we were hanging out in the study room.

Are.

I'm skipping the gym.

The phone was totally dead.

she came out here to carry it in peace.

But now I can't find my charger.

I told you, those things will kill you

Cell phones?

You know, you don't have to lie to me

OK.

Good.

I'm a total burnout who skips classes

to get high in his car.

Congratulations. You got me.

For the record, you are the worst liar in the world

maybe you are the best detective

Well I would go up and I would join you.

if you were finally driving into the sunset

and skipping the city forever.

But I'll let you waste your future in peace.

Thanks for that.

Get off the drugs, Xavier.

you know i need to stay out of juvie.

at least until the return home.

I don't want to jump it alone.

I thought your phone was dead.

No no no no no.

Shit.

You go to stare at this guy?

all your life after death, or--

Hmm?

I mean, it's cute.

I'll give you that.

He's not doing very well.

Hey? Alright.

Hopefully knew I'm here.

Well he never will.

Unfortunately, they don't have no idea we're here.

blow, but they are breaks.

Is there a way to go back?

There is no back.

That life you used to have?

It is not an option.

But there may be a way forward.

That?

forward where?

Well you know the beyond.

forward, up, where wants what be.

We're all trying cross, that's why

important to stick together.

I mean, Janet did it, and she has been here since 1960.

She was a total fan of the group.

Since 1960?

Yeah.

Well, the alternative is Dawn.

She never comes to the group.

No.

Instead she just gives round aimlessly.

- What happened to her? - Oh, no idea.

No.

But it was the '70s, so, you know, bad acid,

the initiation of the cult went awry.

She probably drank the Wrong Kool-Aid.

Sweet.

Yeah.

Uh, you can touch it.

but you never go to change

anything in your world.

That's depressing.

Yeah.

if you really want get down, follow it.

2004.

The marching band hit a very bad storm coming

back from a competition.

the bus turned and capsized on campus.

Half a dozen children finished here all at once.

Look at these.

Just keep marching on its metaphorical circles,

like a bunch of little jerks.

Hmm.

Working with Mr. Martin, being part of our little club,

aid.

keep you from staying stuck in the past.

Oh great. And we look again.

No. Don't take my advice.

let me shut up Alright.

just come find me when you are ready.

OK.

Before starting, Is there any question

in last night's reading?

- I have a question. - Yeah?

do we really think that that girl is going

come back for her jacket?

Do not be an idiot.

Maddie wouldn't wear that.

No, but she would.

That's mine.

That's Maddie's seat.

let's save it for her until she returns.

Simon, what? do you have any question?

How is she going to help that?

It's a reminder, to keep your classmate in our thoughts.

I'm so sick of everything this stupid virtue

signaling crap.

it's false

Two seconds after having it in our thoughts,

we're doing cheerleading routines, covering the desks with jackets,

pretending that everything is normal?

People laugh about it.

There is a registration sheet for a search party.

No one put his name on it.

Nobody.

Simon.

Including you.

Shouldn't your name be First on the list, Xavier?

Simon.

Let's all take a breath.

we do not know yet What happened.

We cannot lose hope.

He knows something.

Simon.

- What do I know? - I need you both--

No no no. You think you're so smart.

tell me what the fuck you think i know

-You know where he is. - Gentlemen.

I'm not taking this shit.

Hey, you won't go to nowhere.

- Excuse me, I don't think so. - Arrest!

Because you have Maddie's phone?

Did you have this all the time?

Hmm?

something you want say about it?

It's been a couple, two, three days.

You have the phone.

You do not say anything.

Don't notice.

There are much better ways to spend time here.

he has that phone for a reason.

He's probably trying to use it to find out

what happened to me

By not giving it to the police?

I don't know, okay?

I mean, maybe he knows something

and then there is something on the phone

maybe he needs it to try something.

No no no no. Alright.

I'm going to call a timeout. Mm good?

i think you need take a pill for the cold.

Let's go to my office.

Isn't this nice?

How I know is this supposed to help me?

OK. Wow.

you are not very good with first impressions, huh?

It's very me, me, I, I, I with you

I know we're going to spend much time

together, but i wouldn't kill you

at least pretend to be interested in getting

meet me.

Alright.

how did you die

Oh, okay. Wow.

yes we are skipping small talk,

go straight to the heavy stuff?

I give up.

Wouldn't you know, the day I forget my EpiPen?

It's the day they cook French fries in peanut oil.

- God. - No, do not worry.

The biggest disappointment was thinking

I would come to chase to all the idiots that

They tortured me while I was here.

But uh, instead of that, I was obsessed with all the jokes.

they did once I left.

What do you mean?

I was a gay kid in the 90s who died because he

he was allergic to nuts.

OK, that's where I know you're supposed to laugh.

Still staring at you, right?

Xavier has to have that phone for a reason.

Maybe.

but maybe not matter at the end.

Why wouldn't it matter?

I'm just trying prepare for the fact

that you may not like the answers

to all your questions.

If people thought that you boyfriend killed you,

wouldn't you want to know?

Nobody her boyfriend called me.

And besides, even if they did, we would have to hide it.

That's why I love this place.

I can't hide anything here.

And don't try to tell me that this is predatory behavior.

I am a ghost.

what the hell am I going to do?

you are going to put us in trouble.

You are the one in trouble.

I like you a lot, Maddie Nears.

Shit, shit, shit. Come on.

I have an idea.

Come on. - Where are you going?

Shit.

Hide, hide!

Hello? Someone here?

Hello?

Someone here?

You can not be here.

Xavier, what... what? the hell are you doing

Mr. G, what are you doing?

I'm taking a shower

Xavier, the school closes at 6:00 p.m.

You can not be here. - Mr. G, I'm sorry.

I really don't feel comfortable with you

looking at me like that

I...wasn't.

She was closing.

uh, just finished What you are doing.

you have... you have to get out of here

I feel very exposed to you right now.

Is a very compromising position.

I feel committed. I wonder what--

Damn, just finished.

Have a good night.

There's no way he could have done it.

Hope for?

Where are you going?

Simon.

Decelerate.

Simon.

Hey!

I'm sorry.

Simon.

I knew it.

Damn, I knew it.

We don't know everything yet.

He has his phone, Nicole.

That is evidence.

Evidence of what?

You are acting crazy.

Look.

What if she just He gave her her phone number to--

I don't know, in order to get out out of town for a few days?

Out of the city? Where?

Where would Maddie go? And what about the blood?

Why are you doing this?

Go to the worst of cases?

How does that help anything?

That?

What is Claire Z doing?

Oh!

Hey.

Now it's not really a good moment.

Wally Clark.

Class of '84.

he handed me a tackle during my senior year.

homecoming game

He never left the field.

Nice to meet you.

Hey Maddie.

Current unsolved mystery.

Pleasure.

Wait, Wally Clark?

Yeah.

Why does he sound familiar?

Oh well, they put my name to the stadium.

oh

That must feel good.

See I really can't chat right now,

because i have some holes in my memory to fill.

Hey.

Well, that's why I'm here.

I can... I can totally help you fill your holes.

- Excuse me? - Oh.

Alright.

Obviously I didn't mean for it to come out that way.

In my head, it was more like a metaphorical...

I can help you solve things, if you need it.

OK. I can manage alone.

OK.

And I really don't believe you need to take advice

of someone who it seems it is

she headed to the aerobics class. - Yes of course?

I mean, I'm glad have this in my locker,

or else I would have been rocking shoulder pads

which would have sucked, because i believe

those are totally out now.

I wish I had brought my Walkman to school that day.

Or clean socks.

Or deodorant.

Wait.

were you missing something When you came here?

I mean, apart from a pulse and a heartbeat?

No. No, not really.

Because?

My phone and my backpack, they were with me

Yuck.

The tickets are here somewhere.

I printed them this morning.

AHA.

Are here.

Oh shit.

Uh, I can't go tonight.

Come on.

Sorry, I completely spaced out.

I have band practice.

Wouldn't it be easier tell me that you

Don't you want to see this movie? - That's not all, okay?

Yeah.

It's just... it's the only one night we were able to do it.

And you know what they say.

What do they say?

brothers before strong and independent women

with bright futures.

It is a very popular phrase.

You're stupid.

You are lucky to be cute.

What the Lord denies in the brain, he delivers it in beauty.

And boy, did he deny it.

crazy?

I have to go take care of some things.

Are you OK?

And I also miss my necklace.

Hey.

Can stop saying huh?

Hey.

Maybe it's good that don't remember everything, okay?

sometimes i wish to be able to forget

Javier?

Xavier, listen to me.

Did they let you out?

Leave me alone.

you had his phone during three days.

Why didn't you say anything?

I do not have to tell you nothing.

why don't you sincere?

spare us having to remove it by force.

Who Are you going to force it out of me, Simon?

You? - Hey.

Chill out.

Simon, enough!

Hey, you two!

Arrest!

Stop!

- Stop stop Stop! - Stop!

For for!

Xavier, please stop!

For!

What do you children think? They are doing?

Are you OK?

don't give me another reason to kick you out.

Are you OK?

Let me see.

Do you still wonder where did the blood come

maddie? Hello.

We just start session.

Want help me, big shot?

Good. Help me.

I need you to force one someone's confession

You know, jingle some strings.

Inhabit your body.

Scare the life out of him.

Whatever is needed.

What is the problem?

I need you to channel all your ghostly energy

and hang this sack of shit through a window until

he cracks

It's okay, you're not getting it.

That's not how this works, okay?

It's not like in the movies.

We couldn't do that even if we wanted to.

And I want.

Yeah.

maybe you're fine accepting this, but I don't.

I need to know What happened.

we are not in a casa embrujada, chica.

Maybe this doesn't jive with your fantasy

of what this should be, but we're

quite literally a world away.

We're not there. We're here.

Stuck.

No.

Not good enough.

You know, if my friends can't get the truth out of him,

then I have to.

What you're feeling right now is absolutely natural, Maddie.

You're longing for a sense of control.

We've all been there.

Talking through it can help.

I wasn't ready to die.

Talking about it won't change anything.

If I have to search this entire town for answers, I'll do it.

I'm not willing to just give up, like the rest of you.

We're not giving up.

We're moving forward. - Yeah?

Well, for a guy who's supposed to be getting

people out of here, this still looks

like a pretty crowded room.

I'm getting the hell out of this place.

He just sent me six feet under.

You were murdered by your guidance counselor?

Yeah.

Guided me straight to the light.

Maddie, welcome back.

Uh, we were having a discussion about literature.

Got a bit derailed.

How can you laugh at it?

What, you want me to cry?

OK.

You gotta-- you gotta try to think about it

as encouraging, right?

Like, at some point, you'll be able to laugh

about what happened to you.

Or not.

Uh, but look.

Either way, holding on to the past--

what happened or didn't--

can only hold you back.

And that's what we're working to learn here together.

Right, Rhonda?

Mm.

Now, I don't know why you got diverted

from the highway of life.

But I really do believe that the easiest

way to miss your exit is if you're always staring

in the rearview mirror.

He's right, Maddie.

"Nothing behind me, everything ahead of me,

as is ever so on the road."

Everything ahead of me.

What is it?

I think it's your memorial.

Vigil.

No body, no burial.

I can't believe she's here.

Is that--

My mom.

Thank you all for coming.

As you know, we are here to spread awareness

about the disappearance of Madison Nears,

while we work to bring her home.

What was it doing in your backpack?

I don't know anything, OK?

Then how did her phone get into your backpack?

And now, we have a few words from Madison's mother, Sandra.

Please.

Hi.

I'm Maddie's mom.

Uh, it's funny.

Uh, Maddie would probably be embarrassed that I'm here.

I, uh--

I just, um--

I'm sorry.

Excuse me.

Um, I just-- I just don't know if I can do this.

No, it's all right. It's fine. It's fine.

I'm not sure that I can do this.

It's all right. It's all right.

- I just-- - You're fine. Thank you.

Um, thank you, Ms. Nears.

Uh, we are all here for you.

Look at me.

What, are you high right now?

Look at me.

You know, I cannot help you unless

you tell me what's going on. You understand that?

I didn't hurt Maddie.

I don't know what happened to her.

Then why the phone?

I was protecting her.

Ladies and gentlemen, let's reconvene outside in about

10 minutes.

- We're here for you, Maddie. - And remember--

Really.

one candle per person, please.

Don't be greedy.

Now, there are a few safety rules I want

to go over before we head out.

You will see, uh, several sheriff and police

vehicles in the parking lot.

They will be accompanying us today.

Protecting her?

Protecting her from what?

You got to tell me.

From finding out about me and Claire.

I've been hooking up with this cheerleader.

Maddie didn't know.

And I'm about to meet her, and then Maddie

just shows up at my truck.

And I'm-- I'm freaking out.

And so I text Claire, you know, warning her to change course.

But instead, that text goes to Maddie.

And since I knew she hadn't seen it--

How would you know that?

Read receipts.

I stole Maddie's phone in study hall

so I could delete that text.

I didn't know she wasn't coming back, Dad.

All right. All right.

It's all right. Come here.

You just cool off.

I'll take care of this.

And for the record, it wasn't an empty gesture, OK?

I am just as worried about her as you are.

Something happened.

I know it did.

Something bad.

I've known Maddie longer than almost anyone else in my life.

She's a lot of things, but she isn't a person who runs.

She has seen things.

She has faced things that no one should ever have to.

She doesn't get scared.

She doesn't run.

And if she was ever going to,

I would be the first person to know.

I know Maddie.

She-- she's never gone silent on me before.

That's how I know something happened to her.

She wouldn't just disappear.

I don't know how I'm going to survive

this place without her.
