- Mr. Anderson, can I ask

Drive safe, Simon.

- Some toddler

that you're calling off

- I assure you

to find out what happened

You don't think it's weird,

Mr. Anderson giving Maddie

I gotta get to class.

Have you seen his car?

It's like he sleeps in it

- You broke into his car, Si.

- I'll solve my murder

Holy shit.

I found something.

I shouldn't have given Maddie

that fucking money.

- Why does he have

hidden in his classroom?

I'm guessing it has to do

with why you're dead.

[mysterious music]

* *

[huffs] I can't believe it.

It won't recognize his face.

I'm never gonna

Three minutes.

- Oh, my God,

Check your email. Do something.

Tell him to check his email.

What?

Come on, don't you wanna know

why he's got tons of money

or why he thinks

Simon.

Eyes on your paper, please.

Sorry.

Maybe it's his birthday.

I'm thinking '81, '82.

Did he have any

Little help here.

[school bell rings]

OK, pens down.

Papers on my desk, please.

Simon?

OK, thank you, Rhonda.

Though maybe

I'm afraid reciting

might have us Howl-ing

[jaunty music]

Because...

Maddie, hi.

Nice of you to join us.

we could all do this weekend.

- I'll tell you

I wanna figure out

to someone on his phone about

- OK.

I'm not sure

Wait, who was he talking to?

- That's what I'm trying

So I need to know if anyone

Seriously?

All we do is haunt the halls

and none of you have

suspicious from Anderson?

Oh, well, OK.

Well, one time

the word "fundraiser"

and I--he forgot the D.

I feel like that's

coming from an English teacher.

- Wally, I'm pretty sure

So I'm assuming he probably

- Sorry, sweets,

staring at the living all day.

No.

You plan weekend fun

Well, we do what we can

to break up

- That's all.

to be fair, watching

over and over again is kind of

I thought you loved "Rudy."

No.

Wow.

Just w--I can't even.

- OK, so if none

then what about the others?

[tense music]

Maybe one of the other

* *

- Am I allowed

My media class has

on all the homecoming court

and guess who got Claire?

OK, yeah. [chuckles]

- Barfing might be appropriate.

Oh, hey, so I got an update

Xavier said

where we were last night

leading to a service road.

Hello? You know

Maddie's alive.

Yeah, and whatever happened

she got out and she's OK.

- What's going on

Yesterday you were ready

Now you guys are what,

- I--I don't know, Simon,

maybe it's

ever since Maddie went missing

instead of helping me find her.

I mean, seriously,

I texted you, like, ten times.

OK, look.

The reason I--

this is gonna sound

I've been talking

- Of course you have.

I mean, not, like, out loud,

because she's not really gone.

I feel her just like you do.

A--and I got us tickets

for tonight to prove it.

And if there's a safe place

Horror Con is it.

Nicole, listen to me.

I know you wanna believe

She's not.

and not the kind of gone

How do you know that?

I can't tell you how.

I just--I do.

But I don't understand.

What would be so bad

- Maddie, they're replaying

like they're still living them,

spinning like tops,

and you don't wanna be there

Why?

- Haven't you ever heard

to wake a sleepwalker?

They can mistake you as part

- What would be worse

- Y--you get trapped

start looping yourself.

Oh, speaking of looping.

OK, "Bull Durham."

Eh, too much baseball.

- OK.

Way too much baseball.

Boom, we got it.

"Rad Racing."

- Oh, is that the one

the BMX bike ballet

- Yes, it is,

- Oh, no,

Sorry.

What about her? Dawn.

She basically goes

and lives in the halls.

Maybe she knows something.

- Ugh.

The only thing Dawn could

from 1972.

- Yeah, Rhonda's right.

- Mm, more like a cul-de-sac.

- Well, you know what?

I mean, I'm not afraid

OK? So talk.

I need names.

[school bell rings]

Oh, hey.

What are you doing

Uh, going to biology.

Not anymore.

Let's go.

OK.

I know what people think.

They hear "grief counselor"

and assume it means

But you can talk to me

or angry

or confused.

Sorry, excuse me.

- In fact,

while your friend feels

But here's the thing.

Hope is a very powerful

and I would caution you

- from someone else.

- Remember, my office

If you're free now...

Sorry, thank you.

Actually--actually, no thanks.

I--I'm--I'm late for--

[tense music]

- Three, two, one.

Action!

- Officially in the running

my next guest needs

but my partner, Andy,

Swim team captain,

honors student,

Claire really does it all.

[laughs softly]

Oh, you mean that thing

I was just at the right place

- So Claire, what would being

Well, firstly,

I have to say being nominated

So thank you, everyone.

But honestly,

that matters this year

I mean, I--I'd give up my crown

in a second

I keep thinking I wish

or done something to help her,

like how I saved Ava.

Maddie didn't drown, Claire.

- No, I--I know.

- But you think

- No, I just--I--

I haven't heard you say

since I've been at this school,

but the second her face is on

- you think what?

- You could--

[tense music]

* *

No, you're right, Nicole.

Maddie and I,

but I haven't talked to her

And now I just--

I really hope she's OK.

* *

Then there's Mina.

And what happened to her?

- She was crushed

Hasn't left the theater since.

- Our very own Phantom

OK, who else?

- Uh, Yuri.

by the pottery wheel

but he only speaks Russian.

- And of course,

Tyler, Rachel, Jacqueline,

Jonah, Erin, Marci, Zach,

We need to talk.

Bus stop now.

[tense music]

* *

[chuckles nervously]

- Did he just--

she just--

Yeah.

They did.

- I thought about sneaking it

it's too risky.

If Mr. Anderson really did

then it's over.

We don't want you to be next.

Simon, I think

I think it's time

like your parents

- My mom's pretty

With you being gone,

- The other day there was that--

And say what exactly?

That I broke

That I stole his phone?

and I can talk to you?

The second that gets out,

believe anything I say,

- We've gotta stick

I mean, Anderson's got

and he kept that piece

turned it in.

What about his phone?

Uh, leave it for now.

I don't want you in any more

And maybe if we're lucky,

What are you looking at?

Nothing.

Don't worry about it.

Good luck.

Nice chat with your friend?

You know, I told you some

You didn't think

that you can talk

- OK, not the living, just--

Oh, just Simon.

That's a big fucking

I wanted to tell you.

I tried, but--

But what?

[tense music]

- Oh, my God, you knew.

- Yes, but--

No, no.

I don't--I don't think so.

So what was your plan?

Find some way to use

for yourself

- I didn't have a plan.

- OK, OK,

[breathes deeply]

- How are you not pissed

- I'm p--I am pissed, Rhonda.

I'm just--I'm trying

This is very new to me.

- I don't know how I feel--

- in front of your crush?

mad at me, Rhonda.

- Be mad at him.

- Thanks for the help.

- bring that up again.

So great. I hope you're happy.

- What, like that's my fault?

- You guys--

- It's OK. It's OK.

- You guys--

* *

Mina?

[creaking]

Mina?

You up there?

* *

Hello?

Mina?

You up here?

It's Maddie,

new dead girl.

OK, can you turn that off?

- What you've just told me

And I can tell

So what happens now?

Now I call the authorities,

relay everything

and, uh, make sure

Sound good?

Yeah.

Yes, sir.

Thank you.

- Did you take

Uh...

Let me guess.

Didn't get the part you wanted

and now you're up here

I'm not an actor.

I'm just looking for answers.

Have you seen my teacher,

He's six foot, scruffy beard,

wears a lot of Hawaiian shirts.

He might have come in here

or to...hide a dead body.

- Look, I'm up here

so that what happened to me

All right?

And what do I get in return?

No flowers. No thank you.

Not even the common courtesy

of cleaning up

So the next time you

little castmates wants

remember this.

I am the one keeping

Me.

[radio crackling]

A3 is tightened.

Moving on to B6.

[radio chirps]

* *

- Lana, Hey.

Here.

- Vote for Claire.

Hey.

- Hey.

Yeah.

Can we stop at my place

I need to grab some cash.

Yeah.

- So do they wear costumes

- Some do.

You'll fit right in, actually.

Nicole. Um, hi.

I'm so glad we got

Mm.

Here. In case you need it.

Oh, and...

[chuckles]

[mysterious music]

* *

Hi.

[gasps] Jeez.

Dawn.

You scared me.

Sorry.

- What are you--

- The kids leave

things behind in the theater--

phones, wallets, sweets.

Oh!

I missed one.

Mmm. Watermelon.

What are you doing in here?

- I just...came to find out

Have you seen anything?

- You mean like him

or your dead body?

- Yes.

Nothing like that,

though I am pretty

Is it the bad acid?

Charley mentioned

- Well, no,

I just meant

you kids have had to connect.

[quirky percussive music]

In my days, someone had

Oh, how things have changed.

There's Myspace, Facebook,

I'm still trying

but from what I can tell,

What happened to Vine anyway?

- I don't--I don't know.

I have to go talk

Oh. Good luck.

Those banjos are

if you know what I mean.

You should let me come with.

I speak bongo.

[band playing "When the Saints

- Charley said

on their way back

- Yeah.

but didn't get a chance

They really thought

So now they just

over and over and over.

- You were late.

- How many times have

- Too bad

He really kept

- You were late.

- You were early.

- Hi.

Hi.

I'm Maddie.

Um, I was just looking

He teaches English,

which recently raised money

Do you play anything?

No. Um, I'm not a musician.

Then get out of the way.

Let's try this from the bridge.

Follow my lead.

[band playing "When the Saints

* *

[tense music]

* *

- Please tell me

staring at him

I just don't get it.

Why can he only see her?

They share a bond

that pierces the boundary

Who the hell knows?

OK.

Simon Elroy?

Got a few questions to ask you.

Come with us, please.

What? Why?

[music builds]

Simon?

What did he do?

Si--please, wait.

Simon.

What's going on?

Wai--

damn it, he can't hear me.

Where are they taking him?

Simon.

If anything happens to him,

* *

I can't believe her.

Who's that?

Claire.

She says she doesn't care

and then she cries--

literally cries on camera

and then she goes full-on

It's like--that's weird, right?

I don't care that she

in middle school or whatever.

What matters is that

to win this stupid

And it's like, who does that?

I cannot wait to see

when Maddie comes back

Xavier?

What?

- Look, I'm glad you're

but if you're gonna

and eat all my snacks,

is try to contribute

The topic is Claire

I say something,

- It's really not that hard.

I thought you had

Right.

yeah, she definitely sucks.

- Yeah. She doesn't seem

What does that mean?

- That she looked

when we were on our way out.

I mean, I know

but even so, that was cold.

- Claire's good

Like you said,

she was friends with Maddie.

- But she was friends

So what are you saying?

Xavier?

Do you wanna walk to Horror Con

what the hell went down

- Did you even talk

Did you look into his wall?

He's got thousands

money he thinks

and that's why he killed her.

And--and I think he's working

I heard him on the phone

Maybe that's who destroyed

I don't know.

That's what you're

- There's no money

There's this,

which Mr. Anderson willingly

He said you gave it to him.

- You think it's a piece

- It is a piece

I found it in the auto shop,

Why Mr. Anderson?

- 'Cause at the time

I thought--

- Who's "we"?

Me.

Is there even anything

What are you people

- You wanna look

You can look at it.

We got a pretty good theory

Maddie wanted

and she really didn't

so she made it look like there

But she needed someone's help,

a reliable best friend

plant some evidence,

maybe frame a teacher.

When in reality,

I shouldn't have told you.

- If Maddie knew what you did,

Hey, I screwed up.

I get that.

You cheated on her.

You're literally

I should have brought here

- I'm--I'm sorry.

I--I didn't--

Stay in the fucking car.

[downbeat music]

* *

Sorry, have you seen

No?

Have you seen my friend?

She's like 5'8".

She's blonde.

No? Sorry.

* My death, it haunts him *

Hey, excuse me.

Um, have you seen my friend?

Her name's Maddie.

Excuse me, have you seen

She has blonde hair.

Uh, have you seen my friend?

Her name's Maddie.

OK, sorry.

- What the fuck?

Sorry.

* I will prevail *

* *

Maddie.

Maddie.

Sorry.

- * He doesn't like it

Maddie?

[gasps]

It's me. It's me. It's me.

What the fuck are you doing?

- Looking for Maddie.

- Are you OK?

Are you sure?

'Cause you look

- Just go back

Please, let me help you.

Haven't you done enough?

What, you want to scare her

You were supposed

You were supposed

And now she's not here, Xavier.

I don't know

but she's not here.

She's nowhere. She's gone.

I know that.

You're right.

I failed her.

And if I could take back

but I can't.

I have to live with that.

So if it makes you feel better

then please, swing away,

'cause I'm just--

I'm sorry.

[tense music]

* *

[footsteps approaching]

[soft dramatic music]

* *

Heard you were out here.

Rhonda and Wally told me

Said I should come find you.

- Let me guess.

to come find me themselves.

At me, maybe.

Not at you.

How are you feeling?

- My best friend

for helping me solve a murder

How do you think?

Powerless.

Shitty.

Alone.

You're not

who's broken something

We all have

- Does your unfinished

Emilio.

Only, you know him

[rock music playing]

You're Charley?

Yeah.

- I'm Emilio,

I heard you had room

- Oh, better watch out,

- Oh, shit, Charley finally

- Oh, somebody's

[grunting]

[laughter]

You can sleep somewhere else.

I actually like

- Hey, different countries,

They used to say

They were right too.

[insects chirring]

[Dave Matthews Band's

* Oh, when you come crash *

- Wanna hear

Sure.

* And I come into you *

* *

* In a boy's dream *

* *

* In a boy's dream *

* *

You like it?

- Mm-hmm.

* *

- * If I've gone overboard,

I fell fast after that.

To me, Emilio wasn't just

He was--

he was from another world.

- * And you come

- Emilio was everything

confident, magnetic.

He used to say I got

and none of the joy.

He thought if I just came out,

you know, to everyone,

it'd be different.

And then...

in front of him,

why I never dated anyone.

And so, um,

He outed you to your parents?

- Ah, he was convinced

Maybe they did.

All I know is that

Mm.

And I wrote him this mean,

And I dropped

and then tried

in a plate of French fries.

The worst part was, um,

watching Emilio

I told him that

and I never wanted

Just my luck he became

because, um, now all I do

and just wish I could

I'm sorry, Charley.

Thanks.

Look, I swear

to bum you out further.

OK?

I'm telling you this

that you are not alone.

We're all Split River Devils.

For better or worse,

- Charley, why am I a Bandit

Well, after the bus crash,

people started getting

that the Devil mascot

instead of,

- Plus none

to wear their uniforms anymore.

- So they changed the mascot

Yeah.

Thank you, guys,

for everything.

I'll tell everyone

Mr. Martin, everyone.

Maybe don't.

Really?

I think he's right.

I think we should keep

you know, for now.

OK.

So what do we do now?

- Now we have to find

- I've never seen her

- I've never seen her

- I've actually never seen

These smell stolen.

More like borrowed.

But you know, you deserve

a thank you

Well, it's not about me.

It's about the work.

But I appreciate it.

- You know,

I'm trying to prevent

from happening

I found this

Does this mean anything to you?

- Yeah.

he's always banging

interrupting my work.

Sorry,

banging?

[soft dramatic music]

* *

[loud bang]

* *

[music builds]

* *

Uh...does this mean anything?

What is it?

- Did Mr. Anderson

We need Simon

- Mr. Anderson totally

I mean, they're convinced

- Seriously?

I know.

They only let me come back here

'cause I promised

and turn it in.

OK, well, before you do that,

I think I might have found

maybe keep the cops

- Thank you all

Simon? What are you doing?

Uh, we're in the middle of a--

- Faculty meeting, I know.

you need to see.

This is one of our new

the ones the Boosters all

Mr. Anderson kindly offered

Only problem is the uniforms

They were retired

- Simon, I have no idea

So you didn't find these,

spruce 'em up,

What?

No. I a--I absolutely did not.

- Then how do you explain

The company doesn't even exist.

And as for our mascot,

Mr. Anderson used it

all traces of the old one.

I can't prove he hurt Maddie,

but I can prove this.

* *

- I really thought

I know.

I think Simon might be right.

[soft dramatic music]

* *

- What do you think's

- He'll be questioned,

But not for murder.

I swear to God, if I died over

Maybe he'll confess.

- Or...you'll turn that phone

and we'll never know

or why he said

I'll never know

At least for now some

What are you doing?

I was thinking...

I can't hug you,

but my sweater can.

Next best thing.

- You ever think we'd be in

Eh, it could be worse.

Really? How?

- You could've turned into

Or a blob.

- [laughs]

Thank you.

You should go.

Get Anderson's phone.

Good night, Maddie.

Good night.

[movie music playing]

[footsteps approaching]

Hey.

Wasn't sure you'd make it.

Wally finally let me decide.

I know it's a little

but can't go wrong with Swayze.

What's this?

- Write what you wanna

I'll make sure he gets it.

- You--you don't have to.

I want to.

- Oh, my God.

This is so much better

[groans]

Rhonda.

You usually boycott

Everything all right?

I've been here for 60 years,

60 graduations.

I've watched class after class

and throw their stupid little

and go.

I made my peace with it

But now...

I know I'm not always a joiner,

but I gotta get out of here.

I'm willing to try anything.

So whatever you did

I want in.

I'm glad to hear it.

Psst, wanna take a selfie?

[phone clicks]

Where'd you get that phone?

- Some pimply freshman left it

Told you it's a gold mine.

Was it unlocked or...

I used her passcode.

- How did you know

I know everyone's passcodes.

How else would I keep up

- Wait, what do you mean

[giggles]

- Dawn, what do you mean

[suspenseful music]
