What is this device?

The blender? It makes smoothies. Usually not with my prize -winning heirloom

tomatoes, but it takes all the guesswork out of stabbing.

Question five.

Oh, that's kind of deep.

Vietnam. No idea. That happened after I died. You said I'm a co -owner.

And you are.

So why can't I work the front desk? I'm great with people and dogs.

What about lizards?

Ben, I'm a lizard wizard.

Nathan, you can't work at the front desk because you can't pick up a key, and

the second you try, the guests will run away screaming.

What guests?

Got her. Esther, what did I say about making ghosts do your homework?

Keep it a secret.

Can you at least get help from a living classmate? Come on, Mrs. K. School

doesn't matter.

I dropped out in fifth grade, and I turned out fine.

Phoebe, I say this with kindness.

There's a hatchet in your head.

She really doesn't like to talk about the hatchet. Come on. I don't want to be

one of those lazy owners who gets half the profits for none of the work. You're

not getting half of the profits. Also, there are no profits.

I killed a prophet once.

Ripped his head off. Ended the religion right then and there.

Nathan, I'd love if you could do something, but I don't have time to

what that is because I'm busy doing everything.

So not everything.

The blender's not working!

Would you arise?

I said arise!

Ooh, what are we summoning? Bell Witch? Red Ghost? Leprechaun!

We're summoning light in the hallways until the power is back.

I'll handle distribution. Ben, please prepare to write down my plan for

distribution.

Ben? Does anyone feel an urge to light this one, like, right now?

We'll stick to flashlights.

So what's the plan if the power doesn't come back on? Buy a generator to run the

TV? Buy a battery -powered TV?

Is this you asking or Annabelle?

Annabelle says that as a couple, her needs are my needs, which is why I

need a 1920s ball gown.

Want me to go down to the power company and crack some heads? Phoebe's teaching

me how to threaten people, and I'm getting pretty good.

Right? Yep. I don't want you hanging out with Phoebe. She's a bad influence.

I mean, she is an influence, but good.

Good or bad, who's to say?

Me, which is why I invited over a good influence from your class, Heather. She

gets straight A's and equally importantly, is alive.

Also, her dad says you've been dodging her texts about a group project.

Heather's great at dioramas. And Phoebe always says, never do anything if

someone else will do it for you.

Kids, you can't choose their friends. But when their friends are alive, you

send them home.

Phoebe is in this hotel forever.

True, unless someone finishes their business.

Unfinished business is real?

Oh, real as a banana peel. If a ghost has unresolved hopes and or dreams, and

you make those hopes and or dreams happen, they can move on. And maybe

just wants to watch the sunset or meet a baby or murder a rival. For a lot of

ghosts, it's murdering a rival.

Well... Problem's not with the box. You got no power coming in.

I'll call the city. City? This hotel isn't on the grid.

Power comes from the forest water mill. If there's a problem, it's up there. A

water mill? Like with the paddles? Are you sure? Ma 'am, I was electrocuted by

this hotel. I think I know how it works.

And now I have to figure out how to fix a water mill. Not if I picked it first.

I mean, I'll need help from someone who can hold a hammer. And probably a drill.

Do we have a drill? I may need someone to buy a drill.

Or I hire a handyman who comes with his own drill.

Shouldn't you handle that first?

No, no, no, no, no. Thank you for your trust. Ben, you want to be a hero?

Always.

Hi, I'm Heather. My dad said I have to be here. Is it always this dark in here?

Hi, Heather. I'm Esther's mom. Sorry for touching you. I'll have Esther meet you

in the parlor. Okay, cool. Which way is... I'll find it!

Esther, where's Phoebe?

Phoebe? Oh, you mean the woman I'm not allowed to talk to anymore because of

your outdated idea that ghosts and humans can't be friends? It's because

bad influence.

Why? Because she was murdered?

I don't care how she died. Wow!

I care that she's teaching you to cheat, threaten your brother, and possibly die

by hatchet. And I care that she's nice to me and listens when I complain about

how I never wanted to move here. That's fair.

I guess we all need to adjust our concept of normal.

How did they all die?

Cliff, it was foggy.

Just promise you'll be careful.

Always.

What's that light?

What light? Going down.

Yeah, I'm going down. Mom, there are things behind this wall.

Terrible, weird things that mortal eyes aren't meant to see. And you've seen

them. Like, in passing.

A ghost speakeasy.

Is that a ghost piano? Actually, it's the ghost of a guy whose bones were

into a piano.

I'll be back when I've saved television.

I'll wait inside a clock to count every second until you return.

That's actually very sweet.

Avedon, in a coat that appears to have recently been underground.

I'm coming with you. Though the danger will be great, it is a worthy quest.

Yeah, this is the first I'm hearing of danger, let alone great danger.

Relax. I'm sure it's a normal water mill in an average forest on the grounds of

a deeply haunted hotel.

Wait, you've never been?

I was too busy when I was alive. And once I died, well, inside ghosts and

outside ghosts don't really mix. Something about dying outside makes you,

funny. Bugs eat your bones. Yeah, maybe it's because bugs eat your bones. Now

let's go.

How did you find this place?

Phoebe showed me. I didn't realize they were letting the living in here.

Who is they?

No, don't care. Phoebe, I'll make this fast since I can see there's a ghost

trying to pick my pocket. Enjoy the penny.

If you're here to make me stop hanging out with Esther, forget it. She's the

most useful member of my gang. You're in a gang? Not a gang, gang. We're just a

group of friends that control territory and make other ghosts pay us for

protection. That's exactly a gang.

Wait, how... How do ghosts pay you? In secrets. Sometimes a dance. Speaking of,

Angela, you owe a jig.

What about a traditional Shinto dance called a kagura?

Boo!

Boo!

Boo! Boo!

Boo!

A lucky penny. And it's mine.

All my life, I always wanted a lucky penny.

He finished his business.

Esther, Heather is in the parlor. Good for her. Hope she enjoys it. Go.

Phoebe.

Let's get to know each other.

Yeah.

You know, I can actually get TV on my phone. So, from a hero to my girlfriend

perspective... Ben, you know what you can't get on your phone? The self -worth

that comes from proving you're useful.

Do I need that? We all need that.

Look, I know your mom thinks I'm a goofball, a rogue, a charmingly loose

But when I was alive, I got stuff done. Was it all good stuff? Frequently, no.

But I was making a difference.

In hell, I could chop the limbs off of a man with my mind. Now, I can't even

chop the limbs off of a bird.

Exactly. That's my point. To go from being the only man to sneeze into the

of a living pope to spending eternity just watching people run a hotel? I

accept that.

I won't. And you don't have to.

Oh, I don't have an idea.

Well, I do. We support each other. I don't understand why Abaddon wants to

off limbs, but I understand it matters to him. And I support him like a

And you are my brother as well?

I mean, within reason.

See that? That's what the woods is all about, huh?

Brothers from different mothers supporting each other's.

I smell evil.

If anyone's out there, I'm as weak as I am cooperative.

Relax. Any monsters in these woods are just as afraid of a ghost, demon, and

young teen as a ghost, demon, and young teen are of them. Stop calling me a

young teen.

You're 13. That's as young as teens get, my friend.

Uncle Nathan, what's that?

All good, fellas. That's Cora. Cora, it's Nathan. We haunted that brunch last

year.

Not Cora. Sorry.

Oh,

we should really go back.

We can't fix the water mill. We're not even licensed.

I don't say this lightly, but that guy is mean.

I don't care if he's the king of Australia.

Whatever's out there, it's just a ghost. And ghosts don't scare other ghosts.

Uh, Uncle Nathan?

So tell me about yourself.

I know how things ended, but what was your life before that? There's not much

tell. Dad ran off before he got to see me dance. Mom was a drunk and told me

never be famous. My sister stole my boyfriend, my brother stole my car, and

had a parrot that turned out to be a real narc.

Wow, that is a lot of unresolved issues.

What feels most important?

Oh, my God, oh, my God, oh, my God, oh, my God, oh, my God. Oh, my God, oh, my

God, oh, my God.

This is for my girlfriend's TV shows.

Ben?

You didn't check it out.

Oh, I owe Abaddon a five -minute dance. I realize they're just ghosts. They

can't actually do anything.

Oh, well, I mean, they can do things.

Screaming, singing, observing.

Gosh, where is Abaddon? Probably got lost.

The good news is he's immortal. I once saw him sit at the bottom of a lake for

two days.

Let's mill it up.

Okay, that's a full Thanksgiving dinner because your parents kicked you out on

Thanksgiving morning and you never ate turkey again. We sent angry letters to

all your old teachers and good news, the nursing home was able to wake up your

dad. Hello, Daddy?

Phoebe, it can't be.

Why? Because I never call.

Because you're gay.

And happier than ever. Also, I don't forgive you and all my problems are your

fault, but also you don't control me. That seems like enough yelling at what

to be a very old man.

I do feel better.

And...

And thank you?

If you want to join our gang, you have to spend a night floating in the well

where Oscar died.

A fox chased me in, but he died first.

Did Esther do that?

No, they let me in the gang for no reason.

Mom, why are you hanging out with Phoebe? Because she's a hoot. Did you

has a gun in her pocket? She showed it to me multiple times.

No Thanksgiving meal is complete without a pie to eat up.

Maybe it needs to be a ghost pie.

Oh my God, will you just stop trying to finish her business?

Wait, you do?

Did you seriously think I didn't? I don't know what you think. If I did,

I'd understand why you're in a gang of ghosts. Why do you even care? Ben's

dating a ghost.

And I worry about that too. I'm your mother. What do you want? I want you to

trust me.

And I thought you did.

I have a diorama to finish.

Did you say your brother is dating a ghost?

Not right now, Heather.

God. I'm just gonna... you.

Rest in peace. Hey, the millkeeper's diary.

Maybe there's something in it about mill repair.

But is that worth violating someone's privacy?

Diary of Josiah Banquest, millkeeper and servant of Boforn.

I found the infant God.

Sleeping beneath the water. I know it is a sin, but I will awaken... Blah, blah,

blah. Skip ahead.

The infant's hunger is great.

It is taken of my flesh, but I can give no more. I have begun the cycle I...

Cannot stop.

Forgive me.

No tips there.

Maybe the problem is all these vines in the gears.

Are we sure these are vines?

Damn it!

I'm useless!

Go limp! Or rigid!

Limb limbs!

Strong core!

Ben! Just hang on!

Don't let Mom open my laptop! Just throw it away!

Abaddon? Hello, brother.

You chopped a limb!

Good for you!

Where'd you get a hatchet? Skull of a woman in a shallow grave.

Sounds like you found the body of Esther's new friend.

Why would they bury her with the thing that killed her? Unless it was her

favorite axe.

Hold that right!

All I want is a good life for my kids, but is that even possible here? I mean,

my daughter's best friend was killed with a hatchet. If it makes you feel

better, this was actually an accident.

Don't believe men when they say they're good at throwing hatchets.

Maybe I wasn't fair to you. You can't judge someone by the hatchet in their

head. I'm sorry.

Apology accepted.

So, what's your unfinished business?

I'm still alive, Phoebe. Yeah, and life is where unfinished business comes from.

So what do you want to do before you die?

Honestly, I just want one day where I'm not afraid. I'm always afraid. Afraid of

the things in this hotel.

Afraid that my kids are in danger. I'm even afraid of heights.

I can help with one of those.

What are we doing up here?

Facing your fear of heights.

Come on.

The view's incredible.

Wow. Windy up here.

And steep.

Phoebe? Phoebe? This is for trying to finish my business.

No!

No! Phoebe, let me in or so help me, I will finish so much business it sends

straight to hell.

We're gonna die.

Can't die. Believe me, I have tried.

Well, can you be ripped apart?

Because that's what's about to happen.

Find something to barricade the door.

Oh, this is all my fault. I just wanted to prove I can still do things.

No pressure, but now would be a good time to prove it.

I said make a barricade. Bones can be a barricade.

The spirits in the woods, these are their bodies.

They weren't trying to attack us. They were trying to help us by driving us

Feels a little... late for that to be useful yes then it's never too late to

useful human sacrifice coming through

Ancient water beast.

I'm a bitch as... Teeth inside your throat. You don't see that a lot.

Oh, am I not spreading blood and screaming as my arms get torn from their

sockets as easily as you hold?

Ah, you just got ghosted.

Ah, no, that already means something.

Dead revenge later.

So, so, I saw a lot of skeletons back there. Yep. Do you eat around the bone?

do you swallow the whole person and poop the bones?

Ben, if you can hear me, that's a problem.

You're just going to watch me fall?

You were going to force me out of existence.

Once you die and become a ghost, we're even.

It's a three -story drop. I can survive that.

Esther!

She treats me like an idiot.

Would an idiot know how to rig the diary? I am a partner selection to get

with Heather P., who always gets straight A's. Wait, did you do that? I

Heather. And that moon looks incredible.

Yeah, it's a plant cell.

Esther!

Mom? Esther!

Is this a lesson about the dangers of reckless behavior?

Phoebe tricked me onto the roof to kill me. I tricked you onto the roof to teach

you a lesson.

Falling and dying is on you.

Hang on! We need more yarn. I'll be right back.

Because you're getting more yarn?

in the shed, I want you to get it. And I want you to trust me.

Just trust me.

There you are. You've been gone for two weeks.

What? I'm just messing with you.

Why are the lights out again?

Okay, sounds good.

Run! This beast and I have a score to settle.

Sorry, who are you? Josiah Banquist, Watermill Keeper.

I may not have legs, but I've got one last dance in me.

Drive him back, boys!

Oh, I did not want to explain to Catherine why you were coming back to

as a ghost and a skeleton in knee -high socks.

We made it out because of you and the ghost of that watermill keeper.

Why did he help us? Because one act of kindness deserves another.

Thank you for laying my body to rest.

You mean when I pushed your body and it accidentally fell into the hole? Go with

it. Just go with it. It was an honor.

How did you know about this?

I know lots of things. By the way, those paintings are cursed, and if you go

inside again, you'll be possessed by the man in the tunnel.

I'm sorry I didn't trust you.

And I'm sorry I didn't listen to you about Phoebe.

Also that she tried to kill you.

Oh, you're still alive?

Next time I'll pick a taller roof.

Come on, Esther.

We're gonna go jump in front of cars by the road. Before we do that...

Is that the shawl my sister borrowed and never gave back?

I thought it was lost forever.

That was her unfinished business?

And you knew.

Like I said, I know lots of things.

Like what'll happen to any ghost that messes with my mom!

I run this hotel!

Do you hear me, Oscar?

My dad's here. I'll finish the diorama at home. Enjoy your A.

Thank you, Heather!

Finally! Did you figure out the power problem?

Better. We figured out that I don't have to touch things to be useful. And that

you really gotta get this hotel on the grid.

Blend, my wicked ones, blend into all the world's poop.

So then this monster says, I don't want your girlfriend to ever watch TV again.

And for me?

Well, let's just say that was unacceptable.

What's unacceptable?

It's the things I want to do to you.

So that's still happening, huh?

One enormous problem at a time.

So, what's your unfinished business?

Well, I don't know.

I mean, I've always wanted to run a successful hotel.

Uncle Nathan's staying forever!

Bye! I also always wanted to run with the Bulls and run for office. I had a

of dreams about running, including running for my problems. That's a joke,

based in truth.

The blenders aren't working.
