Previously on School Spirits. There are spirits further down, older than us.

Meet me tonight, during the graveyard shift.

Where is she?

I'm right here.

So it was you that he took. Nothing you do really matters. You can just outlast

every consequence.

Matty! Matty! He's got a gun!

Well, would you look at that.

Active arterial bleed.

What happened?

We don't know. We don't know.

Okay, we got it from here.

You okay?

Hey,

look at me. You okay?

No, no, no. You guys can't be... What? What are you talking about?

Nobody knows you guys were there. Hey!

Nobody knows you guys were there. No, we're coming in.

It wouldn't hurt to have a couple witnesses.

It might hurt them.

Can we at least wait outside in case something happens?

I don't know.

Okay, we'll just text you. Go. Go.

We need to get our story straight. What actually happened?

I told you Xavier 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.

Door in the vision.

How is that possible?

Zebra! His body!

Kyle's body's here and it's vacant.

It's not going to last very long. We need to get it back. Okay, I'm going to

go find him. Okay, hurry!

Where are you taking us?

Down.

How'd you die again?

The day the hospital opened.

The elevator plummeted.

Get a report of the gunshot victim.

Where? He's over there.

All due respect, Sheriff, we prefer to make sure patients survive before they

get interrogated. And this one's lost a lot of blood.

Sheriff. Sheriff Baxter.

The person you should be questioning is your son.

And the Nears girl.

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

Mr. Martin, where the fuck is Simon?

How am I supposed to tell Matty 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.

What I fear is that that place took him...

All of them, body and soul, somewhere else.

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.

Don't forget me when I'm gone

Don't

forget me when I'm gone

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 that he confirms everything you just

told me.

It's my mom.

I'm sorry.

No, it's okay. Go.

Dad.

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

I got an email from the young lady over there.

I can tell by the look on your face you already knew that that photo was time

-stamped the night you got hit.

Yeah, I'm not gonna have this same argument.

With you again.

Right.

Right, fine.

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.

If this photo comes out, I don't know how much longer I can protect you.

What is this place?

You spoke with us here before the hospital.

The Foundry.

Who are they?

They're forgotten.

Xavier. Hey, 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.

Mr. Anderson. This place is amazing.

Thank you so much for coming.

What happened?

It's a long story.

I promised to catch you up, but things have only gotten weirder.

Front door.

Again, thank you so much.

I'd go with you, but it's a long drive. I'm happy to do it.

And it'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?

I think so.

Or I hope I will be.

Hey, 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.

I mean, my face is still healing, but... it 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.

I'm gonna keep looking for Kyle, all right? You go to Simon.

I'll text you any updates, yeah?

Okay.

What is it we're looking for exactly?

For how we got in.

Hey.

I think I found something.

There's footprints leading from there.

Whoa! No!

Back to the elevator.

What's going on?

She's crashing.

Get inside the bed.

All right.

Get the vitals for me. Okay.

All right, let's get her hooked up.

Fucking finally. We gotta go.

Buddy, your body, it is here, and it is available.

What? Casey 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, how much blood?

What if... I die?

If you flatline, you end up right back where you started. Okay?

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's capable of shooting someone?

Probably because Deb is. Like mother, like daughter.

Mm-hmm.

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 going to attack it 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 are you going to do that?

Or what, you're just gonna be like, 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.

Wash 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 Hite last night.

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

Van Hite.

The child killer.

Excuse me?

He was wearing the ring.

I called him out.

He admitted it.

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 Hite shot himself in the leg, and then disappeared through a door that

looked exactly like the front door of my house. All right, 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.

Could it be?

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.

Bank it.

The ghost world.

Sounds like astral projection.

But I'm not slipping anywhere.

I can't even get the door to open. I can't even get through it.

Wait, wait, wait. Do we even know how Van Hai got out of the church scar in

the first place?

Ralph.

After the lightning storm, they never found his body.

We always assumed he'd drowned in the river.

But it never quite made sense, because he was yards away when I left him.

Oh, no.

He was struck on the grounds where the church used to be.

Manheit must have used Ralph to get out that day.

He saw an opportunity, and he took it.

I know Ralph's spirit is stuck here.

But that pastor...

who got pulled in in a scar that doesn't belong to either of them.

He's been doing this for almost a century, swapping from one body to the

next. So Van Hite used Ralph, and then later Kyle, or Casey

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?

My mom thought you might be hungry.

I didn't tell her that cyber-stalking your stepdad doesn't necessarily drum up

an appetite.

Didn't peg you for the hacker type.

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

Thanks.

So, what's the plan?

You gonna go home, or... You finally got to unpack that puppy.

I want you to know how much it meant that you guys took me in.

Another mouth to force feed Sancocho to. I'm pretty sure my mom was thrilled.

I'm serious.

You and Nicole were very lucky.

Not everyone gets that kind of family.

It's really hard to leave.

Well, it was a bit of a trick question.

Because I was starting to get the sense you were never going to go.

Which would be a good thing.

Sorry,

is that weird?

It's not weird.

Well, I'm gonna leave you to it. I did not mean to interrupt Stay I

would actually love an accomplice

It was a gunshot wound.

But he... You're here.

You can... You can go back to my body.

Oh, thank God you're okay.

20 years.

I'm not... trying to be insensitive or anything, but I think you really need to

just get in there.

Not sure how much time there is.

Oh, also, Maddie and I, they think that we shot him, so we're going to kind of

need to tell them we didn't.

Did you?

Oh, of course not.

I shot a man once.

Bonus, you're really rich now.

Huh?

Can you help me out here?

Um... 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.

No more death.

No more being stuck.

Right?

Jesus, it didn't even ring.

I'm staring at my phone. Not much else to do in a school parking lot.

Really? Is Maddie still inside?

Yeah.

Did you find anything yet?

Yes, because I realized something extremely obvious.

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

Correct? You just now realized that?

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.

Birdie112!

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 Rivers Barry on a walking, talking Talbot's catalog?

Bingo. Gosh, what do they say?

Oh, shit.

What?

Holy fuck.

Finders' fee?

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 cigar, right?

What if that's the only way out?

So basically, you just want to follow Van Hite. Not follow Van Hite. 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'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.

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?

Uh, uh, nothing.

Wait, there is something I wanted to say.

I love you, Maddy Mears.

Hey, I just saw Maddie leave.

How's she doing?

Better than me.

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 Charlie Babbles when he's nervous.

You would leave all this?

Us?

Quinn? I would.

Yeah, 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.

What do you think's 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 fudgesicle?

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 want to be the guy that

peaked in high school?

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 never wanted things to change.

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

If I've learned anything in my decades I've 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 loop of fate.

Wherever we go, whenever we go.

I will really miss you.

Football star, Wally Clark.

My friend, Wally Clark.

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.

What's going on?

The emails straight up say that if she delivers Jeff the contract for the demo

in the new school, that she gets a massive kickback.

How much money are we talking about? A lot.

Huh. It's truly shocking.

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.

Well, 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?

Hey. Come on in.

Uh-oh.

Excuse me. I have a right to be here, too.

Mr. Jensen,

is there something you want to say to these two?

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 that... 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.

Ralph?

Are you here?

It's me, Everett.

I'm so sorry, Ralph.

There you are.

I think that I finally understand what happened to you that day.

I... I thought... We all thought...

None of us knew.

We couldn't have imagined.

You were trapped.

I'm so sorry.

Do you know where Simon is?

You can't believe we're actually kind of taking a win here.

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

Hey, you okay?

Can you please hold her hand for me?

Simon's still gone.

And so is Van Hite.

I just want someone to tell me what to do, where to go. I don't want to be in

charge anymore.

I feel so fucking lost.

This is my fault.

No, it's not.

Is he here?

Tell her we've been this scared before and gotten through it.

One Halloween, I lost you for a second. The scariest 30 seconds of my life.

Yay! Home safe!

It's wild out there this year, huh?

I ran out of candy an hour ago.

Never seen so many werewolves in one night. Must be a full moon.

I turn around for two seconds. She followed a guy with the same costume.

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

Hey.

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

Mm-hmm.

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

Whoa! That is so much candy.

You know, only people with the best costumes get all that loot.

Hey, Mads, how about go get your PJs so you can get cozy?

I'll be right back.

Hmm.

Being lost is really scary, huh, Bubba?

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

No matter how scared we both are, I promise I will always find you and bring

you home.

Okay?

I have an idea.

What is it?

This is called a compass.

We use them to find our way.

In case you ever feel lost again.

She needs to know something else.

That necklace wasn't from me.

It was from her mom.

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

Matty, he wants you to know that your mom got you that necklace.

He's sorry he never told you.

My mom?

We should go.

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

Thanks. You gave us a scare there.

Split River cannot afford to lose one of its finest citizens.

Listen, I... 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, a piece of school board, and get my

cut of our little deal for the transition.

Transition?

I need that money to give to the school board. 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.

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 my...

I did.

You said so. You said so. Please.

Fine.

Fine.

Fine. You want to play it that way? I am going to mow that fucking school down

all by my damn self.

Nobody plays me, Jensen.

Let's go, Livia.

Now.

Livia.

What are you doing?

Let's go.

I cannot believe you.

L-L-Livia?

Ralph pointed you down here?

Yeah.

What is this place?

This is what I saw.

From the water.

There's eight.

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

Each of who?

The kids who died.

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 didn't.

He got them out.

They're so young.

I'm glad that they weren't up.

I just hope that wherever their doors lead, that they're happy.

Maybe Simon is there, too.

Where are you going?

I just have to take care of something.

I'll see you soon.

Hail Mary.

Second-guessing how I'm meant to handle you 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, and... Okay, so that

leaves... No. No.

No, he...

He promised that if he ever was gonna be, he would say something.

His door shut up the day she left.

Matty.

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

Until today.

What changed?

Simon.

Leap of faith.

Oh, here you guys are.

I have good news.

What?

Home? Sweet home.

Oh, you're up.

I figured you'd be asleep.

Maddie, what's wrong?

It wasn't me, Mom.

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

It wasn't me.

What are you talking about?

I was really scared to tell you because I was worried you wouldn't believe me.

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?

A few days ago, when I told you that the person who hurt me in that boiler room

was you, that wasn't the whole story.

I died.

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 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 spirit did.

And I wasn't alone.

There's Rhonda and Yuri and Quinn.

And in 1994, Charlie, he died from an allergic reaction.

Charlie Katani.

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.

And Simon.

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

I don't understand.

What is this?

I know it sounds impossible.

Cassandra, hear her out.

My necklace.

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

What? How do you know that?

He told me.

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.

I

believe

you.

I believe you.

I am strong.

I can do hard things.

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.
