[Simon]
Previously on School Spirits...

What's going on?

[Maddie screams]

Nothing.

There are spirits further down,

older than us.

They are truly stuck here.

If they tear down the school,
ghosts here are here forever.

Their only option
is crossing over.

[Wally] I got my door. Okay?

-Does anyone else know about it?
-No.

[Wally] He grabbed Simon,
and then he transmitted it.

-It was like a mind meld.
-Guys, that is Van Heidt.

-No!
-[growls]

Are you telling me
that Kyle survived?

-Yes.
-Then who's in Kyle's body?

[Xavier] Okay, I know this isn't
the easiest thing to hear,

but I talked to Tracey,

and she seemed to think
that maybe you

or-or somebody
who looks like you is out there.

They... They've been out there
this entire time,

just living your life,
walking around in your skin.

I know it's kind of
a trippy thought,

but it-it's good news, really,

because we can get
your body back. Okay?

That's the headline here.
"Kyle returns to Split River..."

-[continues indistinctly]
-["Back On You" by Djo playing]

* Now when the rain
started falling *

* I had to close my eyes *

* To keep myself
from washing away *

* But in the dark backseat
I heard something *

* It was you telling me,
"I got your back any day" *

* My friend, my man... *

[scoffs] I'm alive?

[Xavier] Yeah.

Uh, y-your body is.

How is that possible?

I've seen this before, actually.

Twice.

Once with a teacher of mine,
and Maddie.

Okay, well,
what happened to them?

They got their bodies back.

-Really?
-Yeah, but it wasn't easy.

But hey, we're gonna try
everything that we can. Okay?

Uh, Maddie and I
looked the guy up

under the name he's using.

Get this. KC Jensen.

Yeah. He's, uh...
He's a businessman.

-Some sort of dairy mogul.
-That's a thing?

Well, what can we do?
Can we stop him?

Or find him? Anything.

[sighs]

Please.

I mean, can we at least try?
This is my life.

Yes. Of course we can try.

I don't...
I don't know how exactly,

but, uh, we can...
we can track him down

and see if we can figure out
how he did this, okay?

Hey, I promise.

[Dave] He'll do that and, uh...

we'll go find Nurse Calvert.
She'll know what to do.

Prob-- Probably.

[door opens]

Um...

How'd he take it?

Uh, about as well as you did

when Janet was in your body.

-So cool, calm, and collected.
-Yeah, something like that.

-Isn't that like your--
-My sixth cup?

Yeah. My eyeballs are twitching
a little bit,

but it's helping me
drown out the thoughts

of my best friends
being trapped forever.

The idea of them being in
that school for all of eternity,

I hate it so much.

Ha... I have something else
you're gonna hate.

What?

I think we're gonna have
to track down a body snatcher.

Again.

[sighs]

["Long Gone" by Anna Waronker
playing]

[woman vocalizing]

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

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

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

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

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

* Will you forget *

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

[music fades]

[dramatic music playing]

Here.

[Nicole] Oh! Good. You're here.

We've been researching
all night.

Oh, you got a test or something?

What? No. Not for school.
Don't be dumb.

[Claire] That Van Heidt guy
was a serious player.

He owned a bunch of land,

some shops on Main Street.

-And a bank, very Scrooge vibes.
-Yeah.

Naturally, there's nothing
online about the Finnish church

or the immigrant community
he completely tried to destroy.

-Welcome to America.
-Yeah.

-And we found this creepy shit.
-That's him.

He makes Dateline
look like child's play.

You guys, this is great.
Thank you.

[bell rings]

Uh, Econ, that way.

-Simon, that way. Cover for me?
-[Claire] Yeah.

Uh, Nikki!

-Nikki!
-Uh, I gotta get to class.

You know how committed I am
to my studies.

[sighs]

Nikki, I've been looking
for you forever.

Oh, school just started
like 30 seconds ago.

[scoffs] Well...

[tense music playing]

I think, uh...

Maddie may have left this
at the fair.

Simon should probably put
a password on it.

[sighs]

Nobody plays me... Nicole.
[scoffs]

[sighs] What are the chances
that she didn't look?

[sighs]

You saw him lock the door?

Yes. In the church.

He locked them in
and trapped them

so they couldn't get out and
they drowned, so he killed 'em.

Okay. As if we needed
any more reason

to believe that the monster
in the church

-is an actual--
-Monster.

Hey, whoa.
Don't diss our new roommate.

Rhonda,
we don't know for certain

we'll end up with him, at all.

Let's-let's stay clear-headed.

Hey, Maddie, did you find out
anything else from your dad

that might help us not be stuck
in our scars forever?

Yeah, that would be great.

But no pressure.

Not yet.
But I do have some good news.

It turns out,
Kyle was body-snatched.

How is that good news?

[Maddie] Well, his snatcher,

I guess, is a town councilman,

so he makes decisions
on big city projects,

like building new schools.

So he, of all people,
might understand

why they can't demolish
this place.

I might actually be able
to reason with this person.

Reason with someone
who took Kyle's body

for two full decades?

I'm sorry.
Some random hospital ghost

pulled a Janet
and just took Kyle's body

and has been walking around
like it's no big deal?

We don't know anything
about this guy.

He could be a psychopath,
or a pervert,

or someone who, like,
I don't know,

has birds for pets.

[Yuri] Well, he's right.
I mean, what's the plan?

Go up and say, "Just so happens
I've been in your shoes"?

Hope he wants to reminisce about
stealing someone else's life?

We have to throw everything
at the wall.

And, well, this is the wall.

Si.

Be careful.

I do not like what time in there
is doing to you.

Is it time in there
or a board to the head?

I'm sorry!

What? What for?

[Quinn] For when I hit you
with that board.

[Mr. Martin] Oh!

Simon found this.

Now, based on what I heard
inside the scar,

I think it might be...

well, it might have been
some sort of bribe,

or, uh... or offering
for the church.

"AVH."

Alfred Van Heidt.

I have to go back down there.

-No, you don't.
-[Mr. Martin] No, he does.

For whatever reason, that thing
only wants to connect with him.

Look, we're running out of time.

To save Simon and ourselves.

I truly believe
there are answers in that place

if we just go about it
the right way.

Fine. But Simon has to rest.

At least for a few more hours.

Can we talk?

[tense music playing]

Rest.

I think I'm going crazy.

I've been having these...
awful dreams.

I can barely sleep.

When I have them,
there's pockets of time

I don't remember.

Xavier said I space out
and my eyes glaze over.

Well, Maddie, you just went
through something traumatic.

Don't you think it could be fear

and anxiety manifesting?

I feel bad venting about this
to you.

You know, you must be
so overwhelmed, and here I am.

I swear I'm not gonna let you
be locked in here.

-I'm gonna figure this out.
-Whoa, whoa. Whoa. Uh...

I thought we agreed that this is
not only on you to figure out.

Also, nobody expects that
from you.

Simon does not expect that
from you.

You shouldn't expect that
from yourself.

You're so calm about everything.

Well... I'm with you.

Seriously...

we have no say in how this goes,

and that's true
whether you're dead or alive.

You didn't ask
to be in the boiler room.

I did not ask to die
on the football field.

So I say
we spend the time we have

with the people we care about.

I guess I should go find someone

I really care about to talk to,
right?

[chuckles] Right, right.

[laughs]

My necklace reset.

[gentle music playing]

That's better.

I like having a piece of me
with you.

Touching you.

I would give anything
to touch you right now. [laughs]

Anything?

Oh, if I could touch you,
I'd take that off your shoulder.

["Images of Love"
by Hether playing]

The other one.

* White lightning *

* Every time I *

* Think about you *

Let it go.

* I believe in heaven *

* Pink feathers... *

So bossy.

* And everlasting life *

* I wrote this for you *

* And if I cried *

* And if I cried, if I cried *

* Would you hold me? *

* Would you care? *

[Wally] I think about
this part of you a lot.

* If I confide
in the white light's eye *

* Would you love me? *

* Would you ever be there? *

And this part.

* So karma came
and gave me... *

I wanna see your eyes.

* But I'm afraid to fall
into what I thought was up *

* If I can't breathe
I can't hold it on my own... *

I'm sorry...

that you're stuck
in the living world

and the shitty dead one.

[breathes deeply]

Living in two worlds
is one too many.

At least I have you in this one.

Oh, Maddie...

that was so cheesy.

[both laugh]

Keep it off.

[chuckles]

[Quinn]
Kyle was a really nice guy.

He was the only woodwind
to stand up to Marty Angelis

and tell him to stop emptying
his spit valve on my shoes.

That's a really nice memory.

Yeah, it's sweet of you
to worry about Kyle,

but let's not forget

we're the ones
who are about to be sealed up

like a human capsule
for the rest of eternity.

[Mr. Martin] Okay.

None of this.

We are not doing this.

-Doing what?
-[Mr. Martin] Giving up

when we are so close
to the finish line.

If you roll
a whiteboard in here,

I swear I'm gonna scream.

No whiteboards.

Just us.

Come on. You really think
we're getting close

-to crossing over?
-[Mr. Martin] Are you kidding?

A month ago, we didn't
even know doors existed.

A couple weeks ago,
you all figured out

how to put Maddie
back in her body.

And-and okay, admittedly,

that was a really terrible
chapter for me,

for which
I will never forgive myself.

I don't expect
to get my door, but...

you all...

you have grown so much.

You still have a chance.

All that growth is really great,

but we still haven't gotten
our doors.

And we don't even know why.

And until we do,
none of that matters.

We're trapped.

[solemn music playing]

[Mr. Martin sighs] We've never
gone about this the right way.

Maybe we could try.

[groans]

It has been a pleasure

getting to know
who you really are...

who all of you really are.

You know, I'm supposed
to be the teacher here.

But look at everything
that you've taught me.

Rhonda, you have opened up
so much.

You have opened yourself up

to the possibility...

And Charley...

I mean, you are more yourself

and more confident
in who you are

and-and how...
how valuable your heart is

than we ever could've imagined.

And it's wonderful.

Quinn, you were looping

a couple weeks ago.

And look at you now.

Part of the gang.

And Yuri, I mean, shucks,

you figured out the reset.

You did that.

We can do this.

He's right.

Charley, where are you going?

Uh, I am going to go find out
how much time we have left.

Okay.

Some initiative.

Yeah. I'm gonna go make sure
he's not like, um...

spinning out.

Okay,
if it's inevitable anyways,

I might as well check out
my future accommodations.

Hey, Sleeping Beauty, wake up!
Let's go.

Let's go.

All right. I'm joining as well.

I think I'm gonna stay here.

I just don't wanna risk
hurting anyone.

Again.

That's probably a good idea.

[dramatic music playing]

[Quinn]
But I'm with you in spirit!

[Mr. Martin] Yes.

-[indistinct chatter]
-[keyboard clacks]

Here we go.

-[thud]
-[exhales] Okay.

[pages turning]

What exactly are you doing?

I am looking for demo plans,

or drawings, or timelines,
or anything

that can tell us how much time
we have left

before we're trapped here
forever.

Look, I know this is intense,

but maybe Mr. Martin
was onto something.

Maybe we should concentrate
on addressing our trauma,

so we can get our doors
and avoid being trapped here.

Yeah, yeah.
Been there, done that.

Got the T-shirt, sweetie.
It ain't happening.

Oh my God.

-What?
-What if...

you get your door before me?

No. No, no, no, no.
I-I can't be left here alone.

Where-where would I even go?

With that freak show
in the church scar? Or-or...

with all the mean Charleys
laughing at me in my scar?

Hello!
Why are you being so quiet?

How are you not freaking out
right now?

I don't know what to do
when you get like this.

Hmm. See, you're making it seem

like I'm overreacting,
when this is our eternal fate.

So I actually think I'm allowed
to lose my shit a little bit.

You are. You do.

That's why there's no space
for me to lose mine, like ever.

You can lose your shit.
Please do!

I never said that you can't.

It's not about
what you say, Charley.

It's about how you act.
Okay? It j...

It suffocates me sometimes.

Well, I'm sorry.

I'm sorry that I'm so difficult
to be with.

[telephone rings]

No, it's not... Hold on.

You didn't do anything wrong.
Okay? I...

I care about you so much.

And I just wanna say
the right thing

to make it better, but I...

-I don't know what that is.
-I don't know either. [scoffs]

Maybe it's something like...

I know that this sucks,

and it's scary.

And I'm scared too.

But we do have each other.

Not if we get trapped
in that pool

with those grabby hands.

Well, hey, there's no one else
I'd rather be trapped with.

Come here.

["but they were kissing"
by Kevin Atwater playing]

Sorry if I sound like
a bad rom-com.

Yuri.

There's no such thing
as a bad rom-com.

* ...say "A better world
is where he's at" *

* Well, what about the one... *

Wait. I-I don't know
if I'm done freaking out.

Charley, respectfully,
shut the fuck up.

* We can make it good *

* But we're still kissing *

* Like we can make it good *

Get to class.

[song fades]

[eerie music playing]

[Mr. Martin] Okay.

Simon...
we're right here with you.

Hey.

Stay close.

[uneasy music playing]

[door knob rattling]

No bubbles this time.

[Simon hums "Taivas On Sininen
Ja Valkoinen"]

[water burbling]

Hey, guys?

Guys, come check this out.
I-I...

I think there's something
down there-- [screams]

[water splashes]

No! No!

[Mr. Martin screams]

[loud thudding, clattering]

Shh!

This is a library.

[Rhonda and Mr. Martin
grunt, groan]

[gasps]

[tense music playing]

[book thuds]

[suspenseful music playing]

[creaking]

[dark, eerie music playing]

[door creaks, slams]

[Simon] I'd like to talk to you.

[growls softly]

[raspy breathing]

-[growls]
-[Simon gasps]

You bleed.

You're alive.

[ominous music playing]

[Mr. Martin] You're okay.

At least no one got hurt
this time.

Are you kidding? That didn't
feel like pain to you?

Well, not physical pain.

In the normal sense.

But there is something wrong
with that scar.

It affects you.

You can see it on Simon.
He's slipping.

It takes something from you.

But I feel it too.

Don't you?

[Rhonda sobs] I-I can't get
stuck in a place like that. I...

[Quinn]
Hey, don't think like that.

Maybe we'll get our doors.

Maybe Maddie
can figure out how to--

What's wrong?
What's going on? What happened?

[Quinn] The hands
in the water, they...

they grabbed Rhonda
and Mr. Martin.

Shit.

[sighs]

Shit. Okay. And then...
And then threw you out here?

But why? Why would it throw us

here, now, when before...

it brought me to the bus stop?

[sighs] Where's Simon?

He's still down there.

Fuck. Okay. Give me the watch.

Simon has it.

Okay. Uh,
I'm gonna grab my football,

and then I'll meet him
through my scar.

You shouldn't go alone.

[tense music playing]

Uh, okay. Come on.

[indistinct chatter]

[chairwoman] Next item is...

the motion to move up
the demolition

of the high school.

Wait.
Did she just say "move up"?

Thank you, Madam Chairwoman.

I'm here to speak
in opposition of this plan.

You don't have the floor,
Mr. Hartman.

Hey, where is Jensen?

[Dr. Hunter-Price]
I've recently completed

an official inspection
of this building.

And as you can see
in the report,

there are a number
of urgent issues.

Why is she doing this?

[Principal Hartman]
Dr. Hunter-Price,

this is an unprecedented request

in the middle
of the school year.

Your plan is to, what,
uproot these students

to another district midsemester?

Last Saturday's findings
indicate asbestos, mold,

and don't get me started
on the school's structure.

The structure is just fine.

You don't know what's under
that school, Hartman.

Could be a sinkhole.

-[crowd murmurs]
-[chairwoman] Sinkhole or not,

the report is very alarming.

[Principal Hartman]
Uh, well, uh,

according to Section 5,
uh, Chapter 8 of the bylaws,

uh, "There can be
no school closure

without a, uh, community meeting
and public vote."

[chairwoman] Let me finish.

But the transition
is also very expensive.

New bus routes,
classroom trailers.

It's a hefty bill.

Well, there is an incredibly
generous donor

on this very board.

I'm sure he would be happy
to do whatever he could

for our kids' safety.

[man]
Did someone say "generous"?

Speak of the devil.

["NOBODY" by ZEP playing]

Sorry, I'm late.

Dairy calls.

[laughter]

Holy shit. That's Kyle.

[chuckles] Hmm...

[indistinct chatter]

[Maddie] It's crazy what a hold
he has over everyone.

I think we should just...

go up to him.

How do we do this?

-Maybe just--
-[Jensen] Hey there.

I saw you two in the back.

It is always so nice
to see young people

engaged in local politics.

I know you, don't I?

-You're the girl who--
-Maddie Nears.

Uh, Xavier Baxter.

-The sheriff's son, right?
-Yeah.

Well, is there anything
I can do for you?

We came to show our support
for the school.

-The current school.
-Mm.

As-as current students,

we feel that the, uh...
the demolition

is, uh...

-wrong.
-We want a chance

to make our case
to save the school.

It's our home.

Ours and a lot of other people.

Well, I'm impressed

to see such passion
for Split River High.

I'm off to a zoning meeting now,

but you could make an
appointment with my secretary,

and I'd be happy
to hear you out.

[dramatic music playing]

No!

Uh, it has to be tonight.

Especially if they're talking
about moving it all up.

Well, alrighty then.

I suppose I could stop by
the school tonight after work.

Would that satisfy?

Yes. Thank you.

I look forward to it.

[Simon] I came here

because I need answers.

And I think you have them.

That's all.

[glass shatters]

[breathes heavily]

[tense music playing]

[intense dramatic musical sting]

[choir singing in Finnish]

[banging]

[pastor]
This is a house of worship.

I won't tolerate this!

[Van Heidt]
Give me my damn ring!

[pastor]
There are children in here!

[Van Heidt] They probably
stole it. Thieves!

-All of them!
-[clicks]

Let me out!

God! I can't be here!

Open the door!

-[glass shatters]
-[kids screaming]

[Simon panting]

No, please! Keep going!

[White Eyes moaning]

-[children screaming]
-[pastor crying]

[sobbing]

[kids in Finnish] Pastori!
Pastori! Pastori!

[eerie music playing]

[Simon groans]

[music intensifies]

[music fades]

[in English]
September 13th, 2004.

[Kyle] Did any ghosts from the
hospital go missing that day?

Could one of them
have hopped in my body

and gotten the hell out of here?

[unsettling music playing]

What? What is it?

So it was you that he took.

[Kyle] "He"?

He who? Wait, you knew?

Do you know how I died,
young man?

No.

Story for a different day.

But do you both know
there are hidden rooms here?

Hidden rooms?

Each of us has our own room.

Rooms where you can...

see your memories.

Some of us have been inside
more than others.

Mine is an old elevator.

You wouldn't even notice it
if you weren't looking.

[clanks]

But around the time you came,

I happened to pass by my door.

[tense, unsettling music
playing]

It was open.

I'm the only one with a key,
of course.

But I hadn't opened it.

Then who did?

[Nurse Calvert]
I'd often wondered and worried

over the years

that someone
from beyond our world got in.

I couldn't find any proof.

But I could feel it.

Something dark.

But now I know for certain.

Someone from the outside
got in through my room

on my watch...

and left you like this.

I'm so sorry, young man.

[Dave] How could someone
get into your room

in the first place?

And if it was open that day,

does that mean someone
got a hold of your key?

[Nurse Calvert]
There's another way.

Meet me tonight

during the graveyard shift.

I'll show you.

[groaning]

[Maddie] Oh my God.

Simon. Oh my God. Take it slow.

Those mind melds clearly
drain the shit out of you.

He's awake?

Hey, bud. You okay?

[Simon] White Eyes...

He isn't Van Heidt.

What?

You're freaking me out.

He was the pastor.

He loved those kids.

He wasn't locking them in.
He was protecting them.

And he bleeds.

Maddie.

He is alive, like me.

The drawings, it was his blood.

-Holy shit. Are you sure?
-[Simon] I'm positive.

I saw Van Heidt in that dream.

He is not White Eyes.

This pastor could see

the children after they died.

Just like how
I could see Maddie.

Something happened back then
that trapped him there.

We need to go back down there.

I need to find out
how he got trapped

because if we could figure out

what really lifts the veil
up and down...

we can get me back out of here.

There's a new plan.

Xavier and I
made contact with Kyle,

or, well, the hospital ghost
who took his body.

And we're gonna convince him
to put a stop to the demolition.

And then we'll have time
to figure this whole thing out.

Right. The guy who stole
a body for 20 years

is probably itching to help out
and swap recipes.

The only other choice
we have is defeat.

And I think we all agree
that's not an option.

What's everyone saying?

That we're not giving up.

Oh! Neat.

-[Simon groans]
-Simon,

the body snatcher's
coming here tonight.

Uh, maybe.

It's much later
than after work, though.

He might be standing us up.

[sighs]

We'll go to him then.
We don't have to wait.

His address is right here.

Don't make me walk through you.

You are not confronting
this guy on his own turf,

at night, alone.

I'll have Xavier.

He just stole a body.

You just got your body back.

You could be vulnerable.

This is our only option.

[Simon] No.

It isn't.

Boiler room, now.

Simon, you won't convince me

that you going back
down there is okay.

It was not Quinn's hit.

Time in there is affecting you.

Just give me a minute.

[Quinn sighs]

Wally?

Are you planning
on telling them?

About your door.

[dramatic music playing]

I don't know how I can.

Wally, if you have your door,

if you can go,

you're allowed.

I can't.

[Simon] You have to let me go.

No. We have another choice now.

Who knows what confronting
this guy will do to you, Maddie.

-He could be dangerous.
-And let me guess,

you don't want your best friend
to do something dangerous?

No, I don't.

[Maddie] I saw him
this afternoon.

He didn't do anything then.

And honestly,
there's no one else

who can give us
the help we need.

Yes, there is.

You don't know
that this pastor has answers.

If he did,
he wouldn't be trapped.

[Simon]
He knows how this all started.

He's trying to tell me.

And what if something
with your plan goes wrong?

What if your plan doesn't work?
We can't control anything.

[Simon scoffs]

[laughs]

That's funny.

I think we both know

we're doing this.

I mean, come on.

It's you.

It's me.

[Maddie] You've saved me
over and over again, Simon.

This time I wanna save you back.

[Simon] You've already saved me
so many times

since we were nine.

[inhales deeply]

I wish we could
do this together.

I wish I could go
down there with you.

I'm scared for you.

Same.

But...

all we can do is try.

At least that part
we're doing together.

[solemn music playing]

A body snatcher.

A white-eyed monster
in the basement.

This will all be the most
hilarious story someday, right?

Someday.

But never more hilarious
than the time the milkshake

came out of your nose
at my 12th birthday.

[pensive music playing]

[engine rumbling]

[sighs]
Answering Xavier's bat call.

Yeah, just a casual school night

pursuing a demented
body snatcher.

At the place
we took hayrides as kids.

[chuckles] Diego puked
in the corn maze.

No way. You cannot come.

The less of us in danger,
the better.

Or the more of us that go,
the safer it'll be.

It's bad enough Xavier's coming.
I won't put us all at risk.

But we could help.
Why should it be him?

What, because he's a guy?

-Come on, Maddie.
-And like...

what's he gonna do
to protect you? Brood at him?

-Uh, I can hear you.
-Just saying.

Okay, I need my head
in the game. Please.

Just stay here,
and watch out for Simon.

-Who we can't see or talk to?
-We'll be back.

Hopefully
with our bodies intact.

Hopefully with more answers
on how to get Simon

and the others out of here.

This way.

[car engine rumbles]

Now.

[plays intense chord on organ]

[song intensifies]

[song ends]

[brakes squealing]

[engine idles]

[engine stops]

Why do I suddenly have
a bad feeling?

Do you not want to do this?

Of course I don't. But when
has that ever mattered?

I want to know
what you're trying to tell me.

I'm listening.

[eerie organ music playing]

[Mr. Martin] The drawings.

They're his story.

Simon.

He's trying to remember.

[Simon] "Do you know who I am?"

Yes. I know who you are.

You're the pastor
of this church.

Let me help you remember.

And then you can tell me
why I'm here.

[dramatic organ music playing]

-[dramatic beat]
-[Simon gasps]

[bell ringing]

[owl hooting]

[tense music playing]

[Jensen] Oh.

Kids.

You came.

Would you look at that?
Time got away from me.

Didn't mean
to leave you hanging.

Oh, sorry about all the mud.

Life of a dairy man.

Just finished up
with the ladies.

Uh, the cows, that is.

Well, you came all this way.
Come on in.

I don't bite.

Right this way.

You have a lot of old stuff.

[Jensen] Yes, I like antiques.

Please, have a seat.

I'll make some tea.

Chamomile? Earl Grey?

-Oh, we don't need anything.
-[Jensen] Oh, nonsense.

Everyone needs a little tea
in the evenings.

Peppermint?

[water pouring]

[unsettling music playing]

[Claire] I see lights.

Turn off the car
so they won't see us.

-Oh, shoot.
-[engine stops]

[engine stops]

Livvy.

You're a lucky girl.

Once we get the ball rolling
on the school,

it's all gravy.

Uh, Mom, do you wanna
see something

I think you'll find
very interesting?

I have something
that will make Maddie Nears--

[Dr. Hunter-Price] Enough!

Maddie Nears is small potatoes.

We're here to pick up
KC's donation check

which will clinch
the school for us. [scoffs]

The Nears girl
is not our problem.

But she and the rest of them
are up to something.

I know it. This is proof.

Okay? It's not fair!

Oh, sweetie.

The world isn't fair.

And the fact that at your age
you still don't understand that

means I'm doing something right.

I've worked really hard

to give you everything
that I never had as a child.

And I did that all on my own.

The only one you can count on
is yourself.

Remember that.

[suspenseful music playing]

[Jensen] Here we go.

[tense music playing]

-Ah-ah, careful!
-Mm.

-It's hot.
-[Xavier chuckles]

[Jensen] Wouldn't want
to burn you.

[tender, melodic big band music
playing]

[breathes deeply]

[sighs]

So...

tell me...

why are you really here?

You can't be that worried
about what happens to a school

you'll be leaving
in a few months.

[unsettling music playing]

What club do you want
a donation for?

-[both sigh nervously]
-[chuckles]

You look sort of artsy.

Art club?

Uh, we don't want a donation.

We want information.

Information?

On, uh...

who you really are.

[Maddie] Please.

We need you to tell us
what you know about ghosts.

Ghosts?

The ghost world?

My best friend,
he's alive, and he's stuck.

And I have other friends
in there too.

And they'll get stuck
inside that school

-or that horrible church--
-This is all rather odd.

I think you both
better be leaving now.

No! It-it's a matter
of life or death.

It's not about what you've done.

What I've done?

Why, I haven't
the foggiest notion

what you're talking about.

Okay. Uh, maybe we better go.

We can't go.

Not without knowing more.
We can't.

I think your friend
is ready to leave, dear.

[gasps]

I like your ring.

[tense music playing]

It's been in my family
a long time.

Since 1912?

Longer, I suspect.

But I wouldn't know.

Because of course
you weren't there. Right?

Well, how could I be?

[Maddie] You tell us...

Mr. Van Heidt.

[foreboding music playing]

[chuckles softly]

[breathes deeply]

Hmm. It's been a long time
since someone's called me that.

We won't tell anyone

who you really are

if you just help us.

I promise.

[chuckling]

[Jensen] It's funny, you know...

[inhales]

When you're around long enough,

nothing you do really matters.

You can just outlast
every single consequence.

[ominous music playing]

[doorbell ringing]

[ringing]

Is that...

Dr. Hunter-Price?

[doorbell ringing]

Well, it really is
Grand Central tonight.

Excuse me a moment.

I'm very eager to talk more
when I return.

[doorbell ringing]

[exhales]

[up-tempo jazz music playing]

[sighs]

[clicking, crackling]

[whispers] Do you hear that?

Hear what?

No voices.

[tense, uneasy music playing]

[gasps]

-[Claire] Oh my God.
-[Nicole] Sorry.

[tense music playing]

Xavier, oh my God!
He's making a run for it!

[foreboding music playing]

Maddie!

-Wait!
-Oh shit!

[suspenseful music playing]

[Xavier] Maddie!

Maddie! Maddie! He's got a gun!

Maddie!

[pants] You've got
to be kidding me!

Hold on, Maddie!

Maddie!

Maddie!

Maddie, stop!

[Maddie] Van Heidt, stop!

[intense rumbling]

[children singing in Finnish]

[children laughing]

[eerie music playing]

Simon was right.

He visited them after they died.

But then something happened.

Something dark.

[groans]

[ominous music playing]

[children screaming]

[pastor] Van Heidt!

[banging]

Van Heidt!

[thunder cracks]

[Simon gasps, groans]

[panting]

[Simon]
There was a lightning storm.

And Van Heidt got out.

You got stuck.

You drew those.

Their story...

and yours.

Ralph.

You were forgetting.

Getting lost in here.

All this time.

[wailing]

[rumbling]

[Simon] I know the truth.

You were their protector,

and you were trying
to save them.

But you couldn't.

[wailing]

[Simon] Your grief
trapped you in here.

You got so lost
in helping everyone,

you forgot everything.

Pastor...

I remember the children.

I remember what happened.

I remember you!

[wailing]

[rumbling]

[panicked moans]

[rumbling, creaking]

[water rushing]

[Simon yells]

[Simon grunts]

Simon!

[Rhonda] Simon, don't!

[whimpers]

[thunder cracks]

-[Quinn] Simon!
-[screams]

[Rhonda] Simon!

[Mr. Martin] Go, go, go!
Go! Simon!

[Wally] Hold on, Simon!
We're coming!

[screams]

-[Rhonda] Go! Go! Simon!
-Go! Go, go, go!

-Go! Simon!
-[Wally] Simon!

-[Mr. Martin] Simon!
-[Rhonda] Simon, no! Simon!

[ominous music playing]

-[music fades abruptly]
-[all coughing]

Simon!

Simon! [groans]

-Where is he?
-Simon!

-[moaning]
-[coughing]

[panting]

[suspenseful music playing]

[panting]

[Xavier] Maddie! Where are you?

[Nicole] Maddie! We're in here!

Say something
and we'll find you!

[Xavier] Maddie!

[Maddie] Stop!
You can't keep running!

[Nicole] Maddie, where are you?

[Xavier] Maddie!

[panting]

[ominous musical stinger]

[rumbling, creaking]

Well, would ya look at that.

You're one lucky young lady.

-[gasps]
-[Xavier] Maddie!

[groaning]

That was a gunshot. Come on!

[door closes]

-[music softens]
-[grunts]

[Xavier] Maddie!

Maddie!

-Oh.
-Oh my God. [gasps]

[dramatic music playing]

What the fuck is happening?

He's gone.
