How were you even

We were neighbors.

You know, it was easy.

She was scared,

You can't come in.

But I couldn't help her.

And then what happened?

- She moved in with her dad

And her mom remarried

The one whose face is

The real estate guy?

And when she came back

for middle school, she...

looked right through me

like I wasn't even there.

We never talked after that.

Jesus, Maddie.

What if she's still

I could hear

"Childhood wound reopened.

The only thing

People hold on to that stuff.

Maybe Claire did too.

OK, yes.

Oh, was it just her backpack?

Oh, no. No.

Please, uh--yeah, anything.

Thank you.

They found Maddie's backpack?

Where?

- Deserted house

on the corner

Do you know the house?

I've passed it before.

I mean, it's always

- Well, your father thinks

been squatting there.

It's Maddie, right?

It has to be.

Maybe she's scared

Oh.

I have so much

I just want her to know

Yeah, they did.

Claire, where are you going?

This might be good.

Mr. Hartman.

- Yes.

- What the fuck

You got a minute?

- For you, I have two.

And what can I do for you?

- Well, my parents want to know

with Mr. Anderson

- Ooh, ouch--

toxic words like that.

- Well, he did steal it,

- I would assure your parents

on administrative leave,

police are investigating.

It's been a week.

Has he admitted anything?

Was he working alone,

that anyone else was involved?

She's fishing.

- I'm sure there's

Yeah, there is.

He's a thief.

And my parents are gonna

That will definitely be

Claire. Claire. Um--

Sorry to cut in.

But we need you both

What was inside the backpack?

They sure it's Maddie's?

Why are you yelling at me?

- What else is

Ask him yourself.

- Did you tell him?

Where is this place?

- It's an abandoned house

they're about to tear down.

- Who's they?

- He owns the whole block.

- Just because

it doesn't mean she has

- You know that.

- She's an angel.

Simon thinks Claire may be

happened to Maddie because--

- Because I know things.

A week ago,

to do with this, Simon.

Well, maybe I still do.

[tense music]

- What's going on with you?

You take brooding sad boy

suddenly you trust

- I asked you first,

Why are you trying so hard

Did it ever occur to you

to lose two friends?

Nicole, I'm sorry.

Nicole, I'm sorry.

Nicole.

Mr. South?

What are you doing down here?

- I need a key

- No can do.

I need to study it for a test.

It's only gonna be

I'll know.

No, I understand.

It's just that notebook

and it's all I have left.

Oh.

You got ten minutes.

- You know they found

I didn't know that, no.

- So all the more reason

she has everything she needs.

- Right?

- I mean, the last thing I want

to affect her college chances.

You know, she's applying

I did know that.

We used to talk

I went there too,

would really thrive there.

Wow.

I didn't know that.

- So did you need help getting

Nope. I got everything.

You're my last stop.

OK.

- I know I wasn't--

haven't been very involved,

I know I'm not exactly

Maybe Mother of the Week

She was here.

My mom, just now.

- And I'm guessing

Was she--

No.

She wasn't drunk at all.

She was put together.

- So--so a good thing then?

Maybe.

I'm not sure.

it's been so long

I almost forgot

- Well, you want to see

Take a look at these.

What am I looking at?

English papers.

Claire's English papers.

Read that one.

- "In George Orwell's dystopia,

not even the privacy

OK, it's her paper on "1984."

- So what?

- "In George Orwell's dystopia,

not even the privacy of one"--

I don't understand.

- That's her paper

"Pride and Prejudice."

"Lord of the Flies."

"And Then There Were None."

"Hamlet." They're all the same.

She read one book this year

So the question is, why?

I mean, this is big, right?

Yeah, it is.

And we should

but we can't right now.

What? Why?

Simon, you didn't see my mom.

She was so--

and whatever this is,

all it means is that the mom

You know?

Maybe never comes back.

- So then we just

with whatever's going on here?

With maybe--maybe playing

Simon, it's Claire.

You know, she could just

And either way, I'm still dead.

But maybe if we just

It means my mom

- Why haven't you

- Claire, you need

What'd you tell the cops?

- Go home, Claire.

I need to know what you said.

I told them the truth.

That I took that money

And that's where I was

with my father.

Is that all right with you?

Cool.

Can I go?

I gotta save myself

You know?

But anyway, what's up with you?

How you doing?

Oh, shit. Your mom.

How'd that go?

Well, you know.

Happy, sad, weird, but fine.

Really?

[whistle blows]

Well, you know, my parents,

they've been coming to my games

And it is never just fine.

Unless we win, of course.

Then it's fine.

But does your dad do

the whole belligerent fan

Like, curse at the refs

Um...

my mom always pushed me

to be the best version

on and off the field.

- Didn't you die on the field?

Yeah, I did.

I was right at

And I was running,

my neck...

And it was lights out,

The thing that stings,

that I didn't die

I could have got my mom

That is my cue.

Will I see you later?

Yeah.

- Well,

I just went to the house...

You what?

Why would you do that?

- Because I want answers too,

no matter how hard that is

Did you find something?

Not something. Someone.

You're serious?

All right, who was it?

I didn't see their face.

They flew out of there

Do you think it was Claire?

Too hard to tell. Maybe.

Honestly,

Simon.

It's so good to see you.

Hey, Sandra.

Are you here to help?

Help with what exactly?

- Nicole and I are

hand out flyers at the game.

- If these are plastered

she'll see one and know

I mean, she has to.

Come on.

Let's go.

Throw your bike in the truck.

What about Charley?

Why do I get the sense that

You keep an eye on her

She seems to trust you.

I'd just hate for her

Thank you.

You see her?

I can run faster than that.

That is my mama.

She has never missed a game,

Well, I guess it's true.

People can do more

She has to know I'm not

You know, she has to move on.

So do I.

Of course not.

All I know is

about Mr. Anderson's phone call

Are you sure that's all?

What the fuck, Nicole?

All I did was

so I could delete

I mean,

swapped it with a blank one.

Maybe I should just show

No, you can't do that.

He's gonna think you had

and we don't have time

Xavier.

I think I'm done for tonight.

Can we just head home?

Are you OK?

I think it's too much.

I shouldn't have...

I just need to go home--

Win back Claire's confidence,

But how am I gonna do that?

You're shitting me, right?

The girl hates me.

After Maddie disappeared,

Claire doesn't want

Apologize.

Send her a text.

I thought maybe I could--

Sure, Wally.

That's really cool.

I will--I'll see you

So hell yeah.

All right.

Hey.

I know this may be a stretch,

who may have taken that video.

When you gave me

you wanted me to know?

I don't understand.

- Did you want me to find

- Simon, if I've got

- But when I came by

you were watching a video,

And now we get sent this video,

and I'm thinking

Simon, I was hiding it

because I didn't want you

Ever since they found your

on a haunted tour?

- I had to document everything

People wrote things on the wall

disrespectful.

That was on me.

Don't blame yourself.

All right?

This isn't on you.

I'll clean it up.

You still need help?

- Sorry to make you

Oh, no. I don't mind.

Pretty sure

- Do you think Maddie will

if our heart's

Can I have a hug?

Of course.
