Jesus fucking...

Before everything went insane, I had a really great life.

It's always kinda just been us.

They said I was out for about a week.

Hi, sweetheart. Hi.

My mom, she seems different, right?

She looks like a different fucking person.

What? Dugga, you're high, okay?

We had this thing that...

I love you

I-It was just the way we said "I love you" to each other.

I love you too

So, you think that your mom has been swapped out

with a different woman?

Yes. Yes, that is what I think.

What are you thinking?

That I'm going completely fucking insane.

Okay, so what happened after the dance?

After the dance,

I spent all weekend basically hiding in my room.

I had no idea what to do.

I was freaking out just 'cause, you know,

no one had believed me.

Except for...

Weldon.

But, yeah, that wasn't helping.

Okay. Ready to go.

I'm okay.

All weekend with this.

What is going on?

I'm fine. I'm fine, I don't...

I... I just... I just wanna get to school.

I think that's gonna be great for me.

This car doesn't move until you talk to me.

Don't the drivers' ed kids need this car?

Shit.

-Your foot's on the brake. -Wait, what?

The second brake.

-You take your foot off the brake. -Sorry.

Yeah, at school, there were, there were

a lot of people from town who knew my mom.

And I was hoping someone would see a difference.

You know, they-they were there for Career Day, which is...

Yeah, I know what Career Day is.

-Yeah, yeah, parents come, and... -I know.

-Mal! -...tell the kids about... yeah.

Hey, what are you doing? Let's go inside.

We need to wait for Sonny.

If Sonny needs us, he can find us.

-Mal! -Come on. Let's...

No, okay, we're building a group, three is a group.

Mal! Mal.

Sweetheart, can you come

-help me with this? -Oh, no. Mm-mm.

Here. Thank you.

Here, can you just take this for a second?

Please? Thank you.

I'm gonna grab the donuts!

Fuck!

Ow.

She slept in my mom's bed. She wore her clothes.

She ate our fucking food from our pantry, like...

And she's probably the only person who knows...

-Who knows what happened to your mom. -Yeah, exactly!

Oh, fuck! Oh, my God, I'm, I'm so sorry, Simon.

You're awesome. I'm gonna, I'm gonna get you back for this,

I promise. Okay, man?

There you go, I'll get the janitor.

I'll, I'll pay you back, okay?

Fuck! I can't do this.

I can't go home with her again, okay?

This has to go down.

Okay? Like, today.

What are you talking about? Are you gonna kill her?!

What? No!

No, absolutely not. I-I-I-I need help.

Like, real help. Like, the cops.

I think there's a police officer at the Career Day, but...

-Really? -you don't have any evidence

so he's not going to do anything.

I don't care, let's go!

Sonny Cooke, please come to the counseling office.

I mean, it might be about something else.

Was this... like, her idea?

Your mom?

Yeah.

Anytime there's a dispute between two students,

either Mrs. Minard or I will sit down, talk it out.

No biggie.

Technically, Sonny did apologize

after the dance, so, you know, we're good.

Yeah.

Guys like us...

you know...

"nice guys"...

-Mm-hmm. -we don't get rewarded for saying

what we're actually feeling or experiencing.

Right?

I mean, bro, are you still feeling like...

you know, like, paranoid about your mom being different?

No, 'cause that was a joke.

Dude, I mean, come on, he's, he's a psychologist, bro.

You can, you can just talk to him.

Sounds like a pretty weird joke.

I mean, in a good way. I like weird jokes.

Do you wanna... You wanna tell me the joke?

I have to go.

You wanna hear my album?

Album?

We gotta tell the cop! She's gonna find out.

-How? -Fucking Jason knows.

Mr. Chang, okay? He's gonna tell her.

You told the guidance counselor?

No, Vogel did.

-Who's Vogel? -He's my friend.

Best friend? What's he like?

"What's he like?" I don't know.

He doesn't see the change in her.

Well, he's not very trustworthy then.

-Okay, man! -What?

Okay, you can't go to the cops. They-They won't believe you.

I know a private dick.

-What? -A...

A private detective.

How, how do you know them?

I know her from Front Porch Forum.

That's the thing where people sell their compost?

It's a public forum, she's stirs it up.

She's into alternative knowledge.

So, cryptids, One World Order,

-face peelers... -Okay, alright.

Thank you. I need to go find the real cops.

Listen, these are the last two chairs for Career Day

because Mrs. Bergeron from the flower shop

brought a bunch of random women.

They're her employees, Ethan.

They smell like beer.

Shit, that's my girlfriend.

She doesn't know anything.

-Why don't you tell her? -I don't want her to freak out.

-Bobo! Hi! -Hey, Bobo, how are you?

-I'm good, how are you? -I'm good, very good.

Where were you all weekend?

-Oh... -Well, he doesn't have his phone.

Yeah, my phone, you know... I don't have my phone.

Oh.

This is Weldon, sorry.

-Hi! I think you're in my study hall. -I am?

I, I got the thermostat lowered because you said you run hot.

-Oh yeah! Hi. -Hi.

Shoot, I've already missed two classes, um...

-It's okay. -It's okay. Go, go, go. You...

-I can take care of him. -Okay.

Get to class.

-Hey, I was just gonna... -Um, can we talk outside?

-Yeah, we'll just... -Okay.

Is everything okay?

I just wanted to read you something.

Oh, my God!

Sorry, this is so cringe reading from my notes.

"Sonny,

"weddings and funerals are the only times people say how they really feel."

"But you were almost killed in your car,"

"and I feel responsible"

"because you were on your way to my house so that we could..."

"You know.

"First of all, I think that we are very similar

because we are both old souls and secret weirdos."

-Aw. -"Along with your mom,

I wanna be a support to you as..."

Oh, funny! Your mom just texted me.

I was just talking about her.

Wait, what?

Yeah, she wants to know where you are.

Oh, well, tell her I'm not here. I'm just on my way out actually.

Wait, wait, what are you typing right now?

Uh, she's on her way here right now.

Okay, well, I, I...

Th-This is so sweet what you're saying.

I really, really appreciate that you're on my side,

but I really have to go, and you... and I feel like we should just

find another time where we can talk about this, and...

-Okay! -You look beautiful.

Hey, morning, officer.

Um, I have a quick question for you, alright?

-I was just... -I'm glad to see you.

Oh, thanks.

Your mom said you were feeling better,

but this is a big turnaround.

You've spoken to her since th... since the accident?

-Your mom? -Yeah.

Yeah, man. All things considered, with your accident,

and the break-in at your house, I-I think she's really

-doing great. -Wait, break-in?

Break-in at my house? We... I... We had a break-in?

Yeah, when you were in the hospital.

Oh, maybe your mom didn't want to stress you out.

Do you happen to know, like, who broke in, and...

Maybe just don't mention that to her. Just keep that between us.

You don't have to worry about it.

She thinks it's just kids screwing around.

Well, that's what she thinks, but what do you think?

You're the, you're the... You're the cop, you know?

Yeah.

Is there anything else I can do for ya?

Um...

I'll take a... I'll just take a pen...

thank you. Oh!

Oh. Yeah.

Sorry about that, sorry.

Thank you. Thanks so much.

I did. I talked to them, and it's basically resolved.

Doesn't matter if it's resolved.

Sonny pushed Vogel unprovoked at the dance,

and so, he should be suspended.

With all due respect, Mark, that's not your purview.

It's literally my job.

Vice principal handles student discipline.

-It's not, it's not his purview. -This is, this is a special case, Mark.

We have a zero-tolerance policy. She wrote it.

I wrote it.

I know what it says.

And I am fully capable of... taking care of my son.

I'm sure you can appreciate this is a really tough time,

specifically for Ellen.

-No, I... -Okay?

But the nice part is...

I think we have a shared goal here.

Which is what?

The... health and-and safety of all students.

And you and I can...

Can, um, huddle up later on.

I-I-I actually brought that in,

and I would rather you don't have any.

The coffee?

Yeah.

She...

Okay, okay.

It... I thought...

Anybody want coffee? Mark brought.

What do you want?

So, kids keep looking for napkins,

and-and-and it would be easier to give them prayer cards if I had a few...

You shouldn't be bribing the kids with food.

They're actually supposed to want to talk to you.

Could you just get me some extra paper towel from the bathroom?

I'm technically in class right now.

This is for Yearbook.

Come on. The bathroom is two steps away,

and I'm in a corner.

It's, uh, uh, cool if I take one?

I mean, yeah, of course. Yeah!

You know, no pressure at all,

but if you've got any questions, uh, about working in the church,

-or faith... -Yo Shovel, bro!

-What's good? -What up, bro?

Ooh! Is this blue raz?

-Blueberry. -Ah!

Cool if I grab another one?

Go right ahead. But here, here. Take a look at this.

Sweet. You, uh, you got napkins?

I don't. I don't have napkins.

Could you guys grab me some napkins?

I got class, man. Thanks for the donuts.

Take care.

Dad, can you actually just leave?

No one is taking this seriously. They're laughing at you!

If I get through to one kid today,

it's gonna be worth it.

Hey.

Hey.

Are you okay? What's...

What are these?

I got it.

Hey, has my mom been, like, talking to you at all?

Like, trying to... keep tabs on me?

I thought she wasn't your mom.

Um, "Open Case Services."

-"Affordable rates." -Two stars.

That one has four stars.

Wow, but there's a lot of PIs.

God, this is so much better

than the alien lady Weldon was talking about.

I think you should just talk to your mom.

Tell her what's going on.

Ha-ha.

Yeah, I'm being serious.

Whoa, this guy's website's insane.

"24/7 free consultation"?

Just sits up all night waiting for people to click on...

-Shit, here, this one. -Don't click on it!

Why? This is why we're here.

Rick Davis, P.I. and notary public.

Who am I speaking with?

Oh! Uh, hey, just one, one second, um...

Um...

Hey, how are you doing? My name is Sonny Cooke.

Dude!

What?

Need to turn the camera on.

This computer doesn't have a camera.

Um, but we have some questions.

Sound like a couple of kids. Is this a prank?

No, no, absolutely not. We...

We're dealing with a missing person.

-Got a photo of them? -Yes.

There's no camera, he can't see.

Or sorry, we'll get it over to you, but it... It's just...

It's a little small and, and blurry.

How long they been gone?

Uh, I was in a car accident, right?

And-And when I was in the hospital,

there was a break-in at my house,

and I think that's when something might've happened to her.

Sounds pretty serious.

Yeah, um, thanks.

So...

uh, the only thing is that I'm,

I-I'm the only person who thinks she's missing.

Why?

Well, because there's another person

who's pretending to...

to be her.

So, how would you, would you approach a situation like that?

Silent exit from the chat!

That was amazing.

Sorry, man. Sorry.

This! Can we make this bigger? Better?

Yeah. Yeah, I could do that.

When you spoke to Sonny and Vogel,

did he mention anything about the accident?

Or... me?

I can't.

It-It... It's cone of silence, right?

No, I know.

I just am really worried about him

'cause he's not talking to me, so that's why, you know.

-I'll talk to him. -Great.

And if anything comes up that feels big,

I will let you know.

I'll Snapchat you.

Did you do something different with your hair?

No.

It looks even more blurry when you blow it up, I think.

-Can you, like, enhance or...? -Yeah.

-Can you, like, blend it to... Or... -Uh...

Her right. Okay, this doesn't...

I-Is this, like, the

-final form of it, or...? -Mm.

-Is... No, it's okay. -Ah, fuck! I'm actually really sorry. No.

-It's okay. -No, it's really bad, no.

No, it's totally fine. It's totally fine, it's, um...

-I'm still learning. -Yeah, yeah, yeah.

-It's good. -So then, I'll do this one?

-Yeah. -And print.

Have you heard anyone talking about me?

What do you mean?

Nothing. Just, if there's, you know, bad...

chatter.

People chatter.

It's just that, you know...

my, my dad's been really, uh, embarrassing, so...

No, I haven't, I haven't heard anything.

Oh shit, these are printing to the main office.

Wait, what?

Can we talk?

What are these for?

Nothing, I was just... I-I-I wanted to make a photocopy of her,

her Costco card so I could use it at Costco.

But it printed way too big.

'Cause you think she seems different?

That's what you told Vogel, right?

That was just... We were... That was just a...

Just a funny th-thing we were talking about.

I kinda also see a difference, by the way.

Really?

Yeah.

Yeah.

Moms, man.

You know, when we're kids, they keep us safe...

Hey, uh, Sonny!

...and we kinda mistake that for a promise.

Yo, bro, look, I'm-I'm sorry about telling Jason

about your mom stuff earlier.

It's all good, bro. Don't worry about it.

I mean, come on, if something was really different with her,

wouldn't I notice?

-And... -Yeah.

we blame 'em.

Probably. I don't, I don't know, man.

We blame 'em for the shitty world.

Also, I wanna thank all the professionals

who came out today.

Give yourselves a round of applause.

I had a lot of jobs, and a lot of life,

before I became a principal.

I didn't really find my calling

until my son was born, Sonny.

He was the reason that I wanted to do this, so...

Sorry, I'm...

I get a little emotional when I talk about careers!

Oh, man.

Sonny, you just went through something really crazy.

This car accident,

this is heavy.

I, I can see why you would want to pin that on your mom.

But the only way forward is for you two to start connecting.

Let's go see your alien lady, okay?

Hey, wait, I can give you a ride.

Yeah, okay.

Who?

From the forums.

So, I walked out of her speech,

and Weldon brought me up here,

and... yeah.

Look, I talk a lot of shit on the town forums,

but I think your friend out there might have the wrong idea

about what I do.

Aren't you a PI?

Sometimes.

But what you've just told me is not a case.

What about the break-in at my house?

Sounds like kids messing around.

And the hand squeeze?

Look, Weldon said you were open to shit

that other people aren't open to.

You got money?

A little. I... had a dish washing job.

So...

Did you tell him I was a sucker?!

No.

They're trackers. I loan 'em out to Fish and Wildlife.

Hey, so, uh...

Do... Are you gonna help me?

No. You seem like a confused kid

who wants some attention.

Hey!

I'm not, I'm not someone who does this, okay? I'm not...

I'm not interested in weird shit.

I don't f-freak out about anything.

I don't even have strong opinions, okay?

This is the first time, maybe in my whole life,

where I just...

I know something, okay?

I fucking know it. I know it, I know it.

And everybody thinks I'm crazy,

but something's wrong.

Something's deeply fucked up.

With her.

Not with me.

Well...

Yep.

I know what it's like to be called crazy.

But all you really need is

one person to believe you.

Or two people.

Yep, two people.

Two weird people.

Hey!

If we're gonna work together, I need some time.

Alright? I gotta get my bearings,

figure out something concrete.

So, you're gonna help me?

Okay, goodnight.

If we're gonna solve this...

there's some questions we need answers to.

What's her motive?

Why is she doing this?

Stop while you're ahead, guys.

Shoplifting is a misdemeanor,

-but evading arrest can be a felony. -Go, go!

Go!

And is she working with anyone?

Does she have an accomplice?

Fuck, ow!

Dylan!

Fuck you guys.

Yo!

'Cause there's no way a person disappears

without a trace.

Fuck you guys!

It's always the same...
