Previously on School Spirits. Janet!

You don't forget Janet. You owe me.

I'm really happy right now. I found something. It's bad.

I'm gonna need you to peel yourselves off each other and come down to the

library. Janet wanted to use us to get them out. So you just started stealing

our keys right out from under our dead bodies?

I said give me your car keys. We lost him and he took Diego's car. What if he

comes back here? I need you to bring Mr. Martin back. We need him to do the swap.

It may be too late. He's gone.

We need to get him back here.

I... I can't keep asking my friends to put themselves in danger.

They won't have to do anything.

Right. Because he's just gonna come back here on his own. He'll come back.

He isn't done with me yet. If that's true, we need to be ready. We can't let

him catch us off guard again.

I have an idea.

How much trouble are you in?

No clue.

That's why I sent Diego in first.

My parents like him better.

You know what? I'm way less worried about the wrath of your parents than I

am about how pissed Maddie's gonna be that we're leaving empty-handed.

Again.

This might be the first time I'm sort of relieved she's a ghost.

Xavier. Sorry.

Sorry, that's not funny. I make bad jokes when I'm stressed.

Yeah, I'm not sure anyone thinks of you as a good jokes guy.

All right, Xavier.

Time to go home. Come on, let's go.

Wish me luck.

Call me if you think of anything.

Okay. Good luck.

What?

What is it?

It's Eugene.

We have to get a hold of him now.

Who?

The guy from the nursing home.

Soon as we get home you better be ready to start talking

Do we please have a civilized conversation, Janet?

I know you're here.

You got me.

don't forget me when i'm gone

don't

forget me when i know

Don't forget me when I'm gone.

Don't forget me when I'm gone.

Don't forget me when I'm gone.

Oh, come on. No one's picking up at the nursing home.

Yeah, I mean, obviously not.

Eugene's like 80-something, and it's the middle of the night.

Nicole, there is nothing we can do until morning. We cannot keep waiting.

Okay.

What did Eugene say in the message? What did he say?

That he's been thinking about it ever since we spoke, and that he never

believed the official story about the fire.

You know, he said he tried to open up the investigation a few times over the

years. He said he has evidence, that the story was suppressed, that there's more

to it.

When I was there, he said he kept a bunch of stuff about her death.

Where? In the storage unit.

Wait.

Behind the nursing home.

It's not too late, Janet.

We can still walk out of here.

For good.

But this is our last chance.

You have to believe me.

I'm doing this for your own good.

All that I did, I never meant to hurt you. Did you mean to hurt us?

All those years, you brought me back to the homecoming game.

Or discouraging me from talking about what happened to me.

Using and manipulating us every day since we got here.

We may have been hurt in life.

But you made death so much worse.

No.

No, all... All I did was try to solve the mystery of this place.

Of this school.

Of how to get out.

How many times do I have to say this? Everything that I did, I did for your

benefit. Enough with the excuses. You can't take her.

Yeah, well...

The thing is... You can't stop me.

See?

Nobody likes being tricked.

Why won't you admit it, Mr. Martin?

Why won't you just tell us the truth?

You can't run forever. But that's the thing. I can.

I can run, and you can't stop me. Don't you get it?

You can't...

Touch me.

I can.

Where's Janet? If you want Janet, you'll have to get through me first.

Janet!

Hey!

Where is she?

I'm right here.

You're expecting me to believe you saw ghosts and that there's a bunch of dead

people out there stealing bodies and running around in them. I know what I

saw, Dad.

You saw dead people?

Xavier, be serious. I am.

You're sitting here interrogating me now, but I have been living this for

weeks, completely confused and freaked out, and I couldn't talk to you about

it, obviously, because you never believed me about anything.

I don't know what to do with you anymore.

The last time that I asked you to trust me, I told you I didn't hurt Maddie.

And you didn't believe me.

But I didn't do it.

So I am asking you, please, trust me.

I've changed.

Can you?

I need you to be my dad.

Right now.

Not a cop.

Cy, you okay?

I'm fine.

Just glad the plan worked.

You getting decked wasn't really part of the plan.

It was a cheap shot anyway.

Total sucker punch.

Do you think he'll crack?

No clue. At least it'll be fun watching him squirm.

Look at us.

What we've become.

You know, when I first got into this line of work,

My father.

He was a bit of a son of a bitch, by the way, he used to say.

You know what they say, son? If you can't do, teach.

I fucking hate that saying.

As if I failed at something before finding myself here, when in actuality,

all I ever wanted to do was teach.

I love teaching, and I kind of...

I kind of feel that you're the same.

I've seen the difference a good teacher can make.

I've been a good teacher.

But I, uh... I messed that one up royally.

Monumentally.

Volcanically.

But what you did... I would never...

ever put a hand on a student.

I would never hurt a kid.

After all these years, this is your legacy.

This is your chance to make it right.

No, that's not it. This wasn't my fault.

None of this is my fault.

Si.

Now. No!

This is for sure a punishable offense.

You get that, right? If a night guard finds us, we are dead. Only if we get

caught, which won't happen if you keep your voice down.

I mean, I honestly believe this is what Eugene would have wanted.

He said he wanted to share more info.

Here.

Whoa. Where'd you get that?

My house.

What? I knew we would need it.

Uh-huh. Of course you did.

Look for Eugene Bergstrom, okay

Eugene

Bergstrom, yeah.

Oh here.

Oh, there's a lot

Hey, uh... Not to be weird or anything, but is there something going on between

you and Xavier?

What? Why would you ask that?

I don't know. I just... I guess... I've been sensing some weirdness between you

guys.

Did something happen?

Xavier is... was Shredhead.

But we're not talking anymore.

Not like that.

And for the record, no. I didn't know.

And he knows that you're... I mean, he does now.

What? You're not gonna laugh at me?

Give me shit for being a complete idiot?

Why would I laugh at you?

I don't know. I mean, with all of this, I'm sure you're dying to get back to

your dumb friends.

I'm with my dumb friends now, Nicole.

I mean, we're practically family now.

Oh, my God.

What?

You told me to meet you here.

Okay, but maybe if you're gonna sneak up on people in the dark, text first.

P.S., turning the overhead light on? Might as well just send up a flare. On

security knowledge, you're unlawfully rifling through some retiree's charge

case.

Oh, um, Mr. Anderson, about all that stuff that went down, me turning you

in... Simon, don't. I thought you hurt Maddie.

I promise, it wasn't personal.

No, Simon, this was not your fault. At least you're not stuck here anymore.

I could use a shower, I think.

I'm just glad this is over.

Right.

You see, it may not be over just yet. You see that car?

Yeah, cops think you stole it.

Cool.

There you go.

Once you eat something, you feel a little better.

It's gonna take more than a sandwich to restore my dignity.

Look, I sobered up.

I swear I won't drive.

Can I please just go home?

Sandra, you fell asleep at a stop sign.

I want to ask you something now.

As a friend, so totally off the record and all that, why do you keep doing

this?

You think I know?

I don't know.

I don't want to be doing this.

I don't know how to make it stop.

I mean, do you ever wonder if you're just, like, not cut out for it?

That the pain it costs to love a person as much as I love Maddie is just not

something that I can handle.

It's just not something that I can live up to.

I'm expected to take care of this sweet little girl.

All on my own.

Who is so scared.

And who feels so alone.

And how am I supposed to do that?

When I still feel like a scared little girl.

Yeah, I... I wake up every morning and manage to find a new way to fuck up like

it.

I don't need a drop of alcohol to do it either.

I try, but damned if I could find a way to just do it all a little bit better.

I might never even get to try.

She came back to me.

She came back and gave me a second chance, and... Whatever

happened... She isn't...

She isn't my Maddie.

It feels like I don't even know her.

Hang on.

What do you mean she doesn't feel like Maddie?

Guys, guys, look.

It says Historical Society Archives.

E.G. must have borrowed this and never returned it.

Jeez, imagine the fines.

This is fire coverage from 1958.

How do we watch it? My dad, he's got an old VCR in our garage. Wait, I saw one.

God

bless the

holy generation.

Plug it in.

Yeah.

oh my god that kid's eugene now tell the camera what you just told me young man

nothing they're telling you is true

what do you know uh nothing it's just uh xavier said

some stuff to me and it made me wonder if all our kids aren't going through

something at the moment

What the hell happened to you? Okay, well, for starters, I did not steal a

car. Secondly, I have information about Maddie.

But you need to come with me now.

We thought it would be fitting to bring you here to explain yourself.

Spill it while we're still being nice.

I want to apologize.

I do. It's time.

I'm so sorry.

For everything I did.

Everyone I hurt.

I know it's hard to believe now, in light of everything, but I did always

have pure intentions.

Janet, I... I know I hurt you most of all.

I know you want a crossover. I... I can tell you I'm ready for us to do that.

How can you say that?

How can you expect us to believe you're suddenly on her side? I have always been

on your side.

You have no idea the things that I've done for you.

Haven't you ever wondered why so many of us died here?

There's more to this school than you understand.

Even you, Janet.

What's that supposed to mean? Yeah, what does this school have to do with any of

this? Janet, I'm ready to explain. I want to show you everything.

And then each of you in turn, you'll get your explanations too.

But first, you have to return to

your true self.

What do I have to lose?

I'm going to get answers.

I'm going to leave this place.

The right way.

So maybe you're not able to see the whole truth here, kid.

I know for a fact that Janet's father is the reason Mr. Martin was fired. I

overheard them talking about it the day after she... The day after she died.

The police don't believe me, but I know in my bones.

Mr. Martin started that fire on purpose.

He wanted revenge.

He killed her.

You know, kid, it's dangerous to go around spreading rumors about people.

You could get in a lot of trouble.

It's not rumors. It's not rumors.

Let's pack it up, Joe.

That's greeting.

That's my dad.

He said Mr. Anderson turned in Diego's car.

He was at the school.

It's really time?

I guess I just didn't think I'd have to do this so soon.

You were never really supposed to be here.

This is the right thing.

This didn't really have time to prepare.

Can you ever really prepare for something like this?

What if I go back and then I don't get to see you guys anymore? I don't get to

talk to you.

Don't worry, Dorothy, Gail.

We'll be all right here in Oz.

They all have to leave high school eventually.

Right.

Okay, so what do we do now? Do we run at each other like before?

When we first found each other and you heard

my cries, I needed to be rescued and then you saved me, Maddie.

And I can never apologize enough or thank you enough for what you've given

me.

Because you helped me find my voice.

And I'm really sorry that you had to suffer so I could learn that.

I'm done running.

Apology accepted.

Will you forgive me?

I forgive you.

Of course I forgive you.

Catch her.

I got her.

I got her.

She's okay.

She's okay.

Vance? Simon!

Simon! He wanted her dead.

Mr. Martin wanted Janet dead.

Holy fuck.

No, no, no, no, no. Are we too late?

Simon, what's going on? Simon, tell them to explain.

Guys, what are you talking about?

What happened?

Is she gone? No, she's coming back. Just get her dead.

No! No!

What do they mean he wanted her dead?

Why would you do that?

This is between you and me now, Janet.

What is this?

Don't ask questions.

She's right there. Her spirit's right there. Say something.

Mr. Martin, there are people who believe that he started that fire, that he

killed Janet to get revenge for losing his job. Apparently her father ruined

his career. He couldn't let that go.

Simon, you have to open the door. Why? He took her back in there. She's in

trouble. Take her. Take her.

They went into their scar. We have to help her.

We have the death map.

The paths. We can get to them that way. We go through our scars and find them

there.

Yeah.

We're going to the scars. We'll get her.

Maddie, what's going on?

It's now or never.

Let's finish this, Janet.

You and me.

It's time for you to tell me, to say it out loud, that you forgive me.

Forgive you?

Yes, just say it, Janet. Say the words. The only way we ever get out of here is

if you say it. Why would I need to forgive you? I don't understand.

What were they talking about?

Why did you want me dead?

Simon, what's going on? We're running out of time here, Maddie.

You don't understand.

What the fuck? Okay, this seems bad.

Maddie, what's there to think about? We have to do this now.

Simon, seriously, what is happening? Maddie. What do you want from me, Simon?

They could be in danger. What if I never know what happens to them? They're

ghosts.

Oh, my God. What?

Her pulse is super weak. Should we call an ambulance?

Maddie, what? They went in there together.

Janet said she and Mr. Martin believed that if everyone wanted their scars at

the same time.

Oh.

Simon, it's a trap.

It's a fucking trap.

Oh, shit.

Hey!

You okay?

Yeah. Okay. Okay.

Okay, there's a lot of doors in here. Which one do we take?

That one.

Whoa, is this Charlie's car?

She's so cold.

Maddie, what are you doing?

I can't leave them like this.

Keep me alive, Simon.

Maddy? Dad?

How can I move?

Mom, help me!

How can I move?

Come on, babe.

What's happening, Dad?

Maddie, come on.

Why aren't you helping me, Dad?

Maddie.

Are you sure you know how to read this thing? So, where do we go now? This

can't be right. The map shows a door straight ahead.

The vending machine has a door.

That way.

Charlie.

Where are you going, Charlie?

Where are you going, Charlie?

Is that...

My biggest bully.

Let's get out of here.

Okay,

okay, okay.

Okay, so we just have to go right past them.

Got any tips, Coach?

Yeah. Get low.

Keep moving your feet.

Drive through them!

Okay, those are not intuitive instructions!

Change her pulse.

What am I even looking for?

I mean, a heartbeat, right? I don't know, I've never done this before.

Here.

We gotta call 911.

No, the minute we leave campus with her body, she's stuck, alright? She can't

follow us. What good is her body going to be to her if it's dead? She has to

stay here.

Mom? Maddie.

Maddie! It isn't her. It's not really her.

I got it!

leaving here until it's done.

This is yours.

That's mine.

They're connected.

They're connected.

Why is my name on the stat? I never won any of these.

But you could have.

What did you do?

What did you really do?

No. You can't. Save them.

She's barely breathing, Sy.

Okay, that's it.

No.

We need an ambulance at Split River High School. We have to move, Versailles. No!

No!

Let it come back!

Where

the

hell are we?

My mind.

Let's get out of here.

Janet!

Janet! I know the truth.

You were responsible for the accident that killed you both.

You wanted revenge.

Why then?

Why? You made her believe she was responsible for all these years. Why did

you do it? I've never meant to hurt anyone.

At least of all, Kim.

Where exactly are we going?

To the parking lot. We need to be ready when the paramedics arrive.

We can't take her. That's the boundary line of school. We've got to keep her as

close to campus as possible. It's important.

If you never meant to hurt anyone, then why did you do it?

The truth.

Is it the fact that you're not just a liar, but a murderer too?

No! I didn't murder anyone!

It was an accident!

That part's true. Yeah, why should we believe you?

She's haunting you.

That's the reason you keep coming back here.

You'll never find peace as long as Janet's still here.

As long as she hasn't crossed over.

I thought I had nothing else to lose back then.

I'd already lost my job.

I'd lost... Alice.

I'd lost Alice.

She ended it when I was fired.

Couldn't see a future with me anymore.

Needless to say, it was difficult for me to see a future for myself.

The school district had been looking for a reason to get rid of me.

Said I was a thorn in their side.

And all it took... was one

phone call from Reverend Hamilton.

They sent me packing.

I suppose I thought, wouldn't it serve them right?

I disconnected the hoses.

Just let the cats do its job.

I even kept an eye on my watch.

Counting how many seconds it would take.

I didn't go through with it.

I wouldn't have.

I reconnected the hose.

I went to open a window.

I had no idea that you would walk in just then.

I didn't know you were testing flint torches, that you would light a flame.

But you did.

You put her in here.

In this room. Over and over again.

You locked her in here with the worst things from her life.

These rooms can't kill us.

Maybe they can't kill you, but they still fucking hurt.

I didn't deserve this.

I didn't deserve my father, or being born in the wrong time, or never getting

to make anything of my life.

But mostly, I did not deserve you.

Hey, hey, hey!

That's my exit, not yours.

It's not safe here. We have to leave.

No, you always said that we have to look out there, out at the world, at our past

lives to figure out what happened to us, what was keeping us here. But everything

that we needed was right here all along. You just didn't want to face it.

Janet, go. The door is open.

I'm not ready yet.

I've got unfinished business.

No! No, please!

Don't leave me in here!

Don't leave me in here!

What if that resets? It won't.

I'll teach you. Hey, they're not here.

Am I too late?

Can't you just do it right here? Okay, don't move her.

Step back, sir. We're going to take good care of her. No, not yet. You have to

let them do their job. Simon!

Simon!

I have to find Maddie! Let him.

He'll be fine.

Betty?

Betty!

That's my daughter!

That's my kid! Is she okay?

Someone tell me what happened!

Go left.

It's time to go.

What of a story shouldn't end like this?

Do you think she made it?

I hope so.

What the fuck happened here last night?

You okay?

I need him to explain.

What he said about the school.

The supposed danger he's been shielding us from.

We finally have the upper hand.

He's gonna tell us the truth.

You need backup?

I can handle him.

Wait, has anyone seen Wally?

Sometime

Mom?

Oh, my God.

You're awake.

Oh,

you're awake.

Maddie? Maddie, we're here.

And you're back.

Okay, do not... Stay right here, and I'm gonna go get us a nurse.

Where's Simon?

Um, he went back for you. He doesn't have a phone, so it's just taking us

longer to talk him down.

But don't stress.

We'll get a hold of him. Yeah.

He'll be here.

God, he's gonna be happy you're alive.

Yeah.

Yeah, we'll go find him. Yeah.

I couldn't say it before.

But I'm really sorry, Maddie.

Oh, she's awake.

Hey.

Who are you talking to?

I didn't get a chance to tell you.

I met your dad.

What?

I have more questions.

So do I.

What's he doing here?

Where's Maddie?
