1. Previously on "School Spirits"...Copy !req
2. - Maddie?
- Simon?Copy !req
3. - What the fuck?
- How's your mom?Copy !req
4. She's fine.
She's sobering up.Copy !req
5. Never thought
she wouldn't come back.Copy !req
6. Has anyone here ever been
seen by a living person?Copy !req
7. That doesn't happen, hon.Copy !req
8. That is Maddie's blood
on the wall.Copy !req
9. My DNA is
on a boiler room wall,Copy !req
10. and my piece-of-shit boyfriendCopy !req
11. might have had something
to do with that.Copy !req
12. I'm scared
of them finding her body.Copy !req
13. Were you not, like,
the first personCopy !req
14. to buy this frosted green color
when it came out?Copy !req
15. So you think that she helped
your ex take you out?Copy !req
16. What are you doing here
so late, Simon?Copy !req
17. Am I in trouble?Copy !req
18. That's exactly what I'm
trying to avoid, Simon.Copy !req
19. So where are you taking me?Copy !req
20. Your car.Copy !req
21. And listen, let's not mention
this to anyone tomorrow, okay?Copy !req
22. Mr. Anderson?Copy !req
23. Can I ask what you were
doing there so late?Copy !req
24. Drive safe, Simon.Copy !req
25. One deputy? That's all I get?Copy !req
26. Morning to you too, Sandra.Copy !req
27. Some toddler with a badge
down at the stationCopy !req
28. said that you're calling off
my search party.Copy !req
29. No, not calling it off.
Just cutting back.Copy !req
30. We've had a string
of break-ins lately.Copy !req
31. I'm just a little
short-staffed.Copy !req
32. That's all.
- Uh-huh.Copy !req
33. You sure it doesn't have
anything to doCopy !req
34. with that upcoming
election of yours?Copy !req
35. You can't save my daughter,Copy !req
36. so you're gonna save
your job instead.Copy !req
37. I assure you,
we're doing everythingCopy !req
38. in our power
to try and find outCopy !req
39. what happened to your daughter.Copy !req
40. Soon as we know something,
you'll be the firstCopy !req
41. to know, promise.Copy !req
42. Find her.Copy !req
43. Where the hell do you think
you're going?Copy !req
44. Like you said,
you haven't found anything yet.Copy !req
45. And you know that means
"anything on me."Copy !req
46. So I'm going back to school.Copy !req
47. - What about Xavier?Copy !req
48. You were convinced
he was, like,Copy !req
49. John Wayne Gacy Jr. yesterday.Copy !req
50. And to be honest, you kind of
had me convinced too.Copy !req
51. I know. I know.Copy !req
52. So what happened
to that theory?Copy !req
53. Last night happened, Maddie.Copy !req
54. I mean, what was Mr. Anderson
really doing there?Copy !req
55. Maybe he was working late.Copy !req
56. Seriously?Copy !req
57. Look, I'm not saying
Xavier's not involved somehow.Copy !req
58. Maybe they're even working
together, for all I know.Copy !req
59. But you gotta admit, that was
sketchy, Anderson showing up.Copy !req
60. Yeah, it was shitty timing,
for sure.Copy !req
61. But, Simon, it's Mr. Anderson.Copy !req
62. I mean, this is the guy
who doesn't care if we swearCopy !req
63. so long as it's
in the name of literature.Copy !req
64. You know, the guy
who painfully overactsCopy !req
65. all the witches in "Macbeth"Copy !req
66. when he has us read it aloud
in class.Copy !req
67. I do love his Cockney accent.Copy !req
68. That's what I'm saying.Copy !req
69. He's one of the good ones.Copy !req
70. Look, he's not just
a teacher to me, okay?Copy !req
71. You know, we're close.Copy !req
72. He even gave me
his number once.Copy !req
73. Not like that.Copy !req
74. No, I'm just telling you this
because he's my friend.Copy !req
75. - I think you mean "was."
- Whatever.Copy !req
76. You have to listen to me
on this one, okay?Copy !req
77. It's not him. I'm telling you.Copy !req
78. It can't be.Copy !req
79. Can you at least just do
your ghost stalker thingCopy !req
80. and watch him today?Copy !req
81. Who? Xavier or Mr. Anderson?Copy !req
82. Mr. Anderson.Copy !req
83. You know what? Fine.
Watch them both if you want!Copy !req
84. Sorry.Copy !req
85. Solicitors, right?Copy !req
86. What?Copy !req
87. I have received more
phone calls since your deathCopy !req
88. than I have in my entire life.Copy !req
89. I'm doing my best.Copy !req
90. And I appreciate it.Copy !req
91. Hey.Copy !req
92. At least this is another place
we get service, right?Copy !req
93. How'd you find
this one, anyway?Copy !req
94. Same as the others.Copy !req
95. I just kind of have to linger
and waitCopy !req
96. until you either see me
or don't.Copy !req
97. What?Copy !req
98. Bathrooms.Copy !req
99. You're not gonna linger
and wait there, right?Copy !req
100. Maddie!
- Relax.Copy !req
101. I left before I saw anything, obviously.Copy !req
102. But you should really
wash your hands more.Copy !req
103. And now I'm hanging up. Bye!Copy !req
104. Hey, Mr. G.Copy !req
105. Hate to wake you up,
but I thinkCopy !req
106. freshman English is
in here next.Copy !req
107. Shit. Sorry.Copy !req
108. It's okay.Copy !req
109. Unless, of course, you want
to reread "Animal Farm."Copy !req
110. I am all full up
on totalitarian allegories,Copy !req
111. thank you.Copy !req
112. Everything okay?Copy !req
113. Yeah, just a rough night
is all.Copy !req
114. Oh, yeah?Copy !req
115. Rough how?Copy !req
116. Uh, I'm fine.Copy !req
117. It's fine.
- Okay.Copy !req
118. Well, listen, if you need
another extensionCopy !req
119. on your essay,
all you gotta do is ask.Copy !req
120. Oh, no.
I—no, I have it.Copy !req
121. Uh, right... here.Copy !req
122. "Is Orpheus bringing Eurydice
back from the underworldCopy !req
123. the ultimate romance
or ultimately problematic?"Copy !req
124. I'm intrigued.Copy !req
125. Honestly, hats off to you.Copy !req
126. I don't know how you continue
to pull it off.Copy !req
127. Just with everything
you got going on is all.Copy !req
128. Well, I try
not to disappoint.Copy !req
129. Speaking of, if you ever
can't pull it off,Copy !req
130. you know you can always
come talk to me.Copy !req
131. About...Copy !req
132. Anything.Copy !req
133. I just—I know how
hard it was for meCopy !req
134. to continually keep
my lives separate.Copy !req
135. I know how exhausting
that can be.Copy !req
136. Mr. Anderson,
I'm not really sureCopy !req
137. what you're talking about,Copy !req
138. but you don't know
anything about me.Copy !req
139. Yeah, no.
I mean, maybe I do.Copy !req
140. Okay.Copy !req
141. So you're
a recovering alcoholic.Copy !req
142. Why should I care?Copy !req
143. No, not me.Copy !req
144. That's my father's chip.Copy !req
145. So why do you have it?Copy !req
146. As a reminder, I guess.Copy !req
147. That even though I'm not
the one with the problem,Copy !req
148. it's okay for me to take things
one day at a time too.Copy !req
149. Here.Copy !req
150. That's my number.Copy !req
151. If you ever need somebody
to talk to, day or night,Copy !req
152. you call that, okay?Copy !req
153. I gotta get to class.Copy !req
154. Shit, look.Copy !req
155. Oh, my God, look who's here.Copy !req
156. Wasn't he locked up
or something?Copy !req
157. - Devil boy's back.
- Why is he here?Copy !req
158. God, I bet he's wearing
his stupid hair like thatCopy !req
159. to hide his horns.Copy !req
160. How can he show his face?Copy !req
161. I can't believe
he came back to school.Copy !req
162. You don't think it's weird?Copy !req
163. - What, Xavier being back?
- No, screw Xavier.Copy !req
164. I'm talking about Mr. Anderson
giving Maddie his number.Copy !req
165. Wait, Mr. Anderson?Copy !req
166. I thought you were just talking
about it being weirdCopy !req
167. if a teacher gives
their studentCopy !req
168. their number,
like, hypothetically.Copy !req
169. I was, and now I just took it
to unhypothetical territory.Copy !req
170. Well, how do you know this?Copy !req
171. There were some kids
talking about Maddie.Copy !req
172. - Wait, what kids?
- Online.Copy !req
173. - But—when was this—
- Nicole, doesn't matter.Copy !req
174. I'm just asking you,
is it—is that suspicious?Copy !req
175. I don't know.Copy !req
176. Maybe he gives his number out
to a lot of students.Copy !req
177. Nicole.Copy !req
178. Well, what else do you have?
Do you have, like, proof?Copy !req
179. No. I don't.
Not yet. It's just a theory.Copy !req
180. I'm looking
at every angle, you know.Copy !req
181. I don't know, something just
seems off about the guy.Copy !req
182. Yeah, well, we've all been
running aroundCopy !req
183. like a bunch of zombies lately, so...Copy !req
184. plus, have you seen his car?Copy !req
185. It's like he sleeps in it
or something.Copy !req
186. His car?Copy !req
187. Really?Copy !req
188. You free right now?Copy !req
189. What?Copy !req
190. Maddie.Copy !req
191. Hmm?Copy !req
192. How is the obituary coming?Copy !req
193. Is there anything you'd like
to share yet with the group?Copy !req
194. Uh, it's still
a work in progress.Copy !req
195. Sorry.Copy !req
196. I feel like I barely slept
last night.Copy !req
197. Gosh, it sounds like
you spentCopy !req
198. one too many days in a row
inside this school.Copy !req
199. Is there another option?Copy !req
200. There is, actually.Copy !req
201. Gang, I know it's not usually
for another month or so,Copy !req
202. but time is relative here,
is it not?Copy !req
203. So what do you say?
Who's up for another field day?Copy !req
204. Yes! Hell yes!Copy !req
205. Yes. Yes. Field day. Let's go.Copy !req
206. Please kill me.Copy !req
207. I love you, Mr. M.Copy !req
208. Everybody needs exercise.Copy !req
209. And as you'll come to learn,
we ghosts occasionally needCopy !req
210. to "exorcise" a few demons too.Copy !req
211. Mm-mm.Copy !req
212. Am I right, guys?Copy !req
213. Yeah, no.
I don't do sports.Copy !req
214. Well, Maddie, I hear you,Copy !req
215. and as the resident jock,Copy !req
216. I am going to choose
not to be offended by that.Copy !req
217. But I just have
two words for you, mm-kay?Copy !req
218. "American Gladiators."Copy !req
219. Blaze.Copy !req
220. Turbo.Copy !req
221. Nitro? Are you—come on.
Nobody's heard of this show?Copy !req
222. All I remember is...
lots and lots of Spandex?Copy !req
223. Yes, there were because
they were fricking heroes.Copy !req
224. And they're my personal
inspiration for field day.Copy !req
225. Leave her alone, you guys.Copy !req
226. She doesn't want
to play tug of warCopy !req
227. unless it's to rip her
ex-boyfriend limb from limb.Copy !req
228. Or wait—has somebody's
plot thickened?Copy !req
229. Do tell.Copy !req
230. Who do we have
in our crosshairs now?Copy !req
231. So I was writing this essay
about my 81-year-old grandma—Copy !req
232. her name's Juana Alcantara—Copy !req
233. and her struggles
with constipation...Copy !req
234. And I got to the part
of punctuation...Copy !req
235. Motherf—Copy !req
236. Is it just, like,
a fancier comma,Copy !req
237. or is it, like,
an Oxford comma, or—Copy !req
238. You know, these are all
great questions, Nicole.Copy !req
239. All of them can be answered
in "The Elements of Style,"Copy !req
240. and we got two of them
in the library.Copy !req
241. Oh.Copy !req
242. "Frankenstein"! So good, right?Copy !req
243. Yeah, it is.Copy !req
244. You know, I actually read
that Mary Shelley wrote thatCopy !req
245. amongst friends as a dare.Copy !req
246. Just a fun fact.Copy !req
247. Okay.Copy !req
248. Well, this has been
a nice chat, Nicole.Copy !req
249. I'm a writer.Copy !req
250. Do you have advice
for someone like me?Copy !req
251. Okay.Copy !req
252. Uh, yeah.Copy !req
253. Not myself, but I'm sure I can
turn you on to a few booksCopy !req
254. that might help.Copy !req
255. Awesome. Okay, great.Copy !req
256. Thank—thank you so much.Copy !req
257. Sure.Copy !req
258. Oh, God.
Please don't be a finger.Copy !req
259. Please don't be a finger.Copy !req
260. Oh, gross, dude.Copy !req
261. All right. Oh, yep.Copy !req
262. Sure.Copy !req
263. Madison?Copy !req
264. Hey. Are you okay?Copy !req
265. Yeah, considering.Copy !req
266. Thanks for coming.Copy !req
267. You did say
day or night, right?Copy !req
268. I did. And I meant it.Copy !req
269. More importantly,
tell me what happened.Copy !req
270. My mom said she was hungry,
so I took a shortcutCopy !req
271. to get her some food.Copy !req
272. I must have gotten
turned around.Copy !req
273. And I went to use my phone,Copy !req
274. and I guess I got distracted, and...Copy !req
275. Okay.Copy !req
276. Hey, it's gonna be okay.Copy !req
277. We'll figure this out.Copy !req
278. I'm here.Copy !req
279. I knew he was full of shit.Copy !req
280. Remember that piece of your
phone we gave to Mr. Anderson?Copy !req
281. Guess where I just found it.Copy !req
282. His fricking glove box.Copy !req
283. Yeah, you broke into his car.
I saw you.Copy !req
284. Not technically,
and not the point.Copy !req
285. Actually, kind of is, Simon.Copy !req
286. Why would you do that?
- Why not?Copy !req
287. I told you I had a feeling
about him, and I was right.Copy !req
288. And I told you
I would watch him.Copy !req
289. Who cares who's watching him?Copy !req
290. Maddie, he's holding on
to a piece of evidence.Copy !req
291. Now he might be
tampering with it,Copy !req
292. maybe even trying
to get rid of it.Copy !req
293. I mean, how do you not see
that that's proof?Copy !req
294. There has to be
another reason.Copy !req
295. Sure. Yeah.Copy !req
296. Maybe he's saving it
as a trophy for his kill.Copy !req
297. Maybe he's gonna smelt it
into a frickin' ring.Copy !req
298. Maddie, he's hiding something.Copy !req
299. No. He can't be.Copy !req
300. You keep saying that,
and I don't understand.Copy !req
301. Why can't it be him?Copy !req
302. Give me one good reason
why I shouldn't go reportCopy !req
303. what I found to Hartman
right now, 'cause I'll go.Copy !req
304. Because he saved me, okay?Copy !req
305. You remember that accident
I was inCopy !req
306. a few months ago?Copy !req
307. The one with your mom's car?Copy !req
308. Yeah.Copy !req
309. Well, it was Mr. AndersonCopy !req
310. that bailed me out of it,
all right?Copy !req
311. - Mr. Anderson?
- Yeah. He... rescued me.Copy !req
312. Why didn't you tell me this?Copy !req
313. Because—
I don't know, Simon.Copy !req
314. I didn't think I had to.Copy !req
315. What?Copy !req
316. Nothing.Copy !req
317. I just—I thought—Copy !req
318. I thought it wouldn't be
like this now that you're—Copy !req
319. What?Copy !req
320. Dead, Maddie.
Now that you're dead.Copy !req
321. I mean, you're not making it
very easy.Copy !req
322. I'm sorry, is my being dead
hard for you?Copy !req
323. Well, how am I supposed
to solve this thingCopy !req
324. if, even now,
you won't even let me in?Copy !req
325. What about you?Copy !req
326. I asked you to trust me,
and you just went and—Copy !req
327. - Because I'm trying to help.
- Well, stop, okay?Copy !req
328. I'll solve my murder on my own.Copy !req
329. Thanks.Copy !req
330. Hey!Copy !req
331. Need a lift?Copy !req
332. I know, I know,
you're not into sports,Copy !req
333. but I just had to try.Copy !req
334. Wally, I'm really not
in the moodCopy !req
335. for your whole Turbo thing
right now.Copy !req
336. Okay, Turbo's not
my handle, actually.Copy !req
337. It's Kaboom.Copy !req
338. And also, that reminds me,Copy !req
339. we need to come up with one
for you.Copy !req
340. Okay, look—okay, okay, okay.Copy !req
341. How about this?Copy !req
342. Instead of pacing
back and forth angrilyCopy !req
343. or whatever you're doing,
why don't you do itCopy !req
344. with a little bit more speed?Copy !req
345. Maddie.Copy !req
346. I know how it feelsCopy !req
347. to be a passenger
in your own afterlife,Copy !req
348. so maybe try taking the wheel.Copy !req
349. Come on. Let's go.Copy !req
350. Here we go.
- All right, fine.Copy !req
351. You're gonna love it.
All right, let's do it.Copy !req
352. All right, let's do it.Copy !req
353. Maddie, Maddie, Maddie, Maddie!Copy !req
354. Whoo!Copy !req
355. Go, Maddie!Copy !req
356. Yeah!Copy !req
357. Oh, yeah!Copy !req
358. It feels
pretty damn good, right?Copy !req
359. It kind of does, actually.Copy !req
360. How have I not done this,
like, every day?Copy !req
361. Oh, shit!
- Oh, shit!Copy !req
362. Whoa.Copy !req
363. I probably should
have mentionedCopy !req
364. that I'm not the best driver.Copy !req
365. Hey, it's okay.
It's all good.Copy !req
366. You know what, I knew
you'd be perfect for this.Copy !req
367. Let's try something bigger.
Okay, go. Go.Copy !req
368. - Okay.
- Let's go! Come on!Copy !req
369. Whoo-hoo!Copy !req
370. Yeah!Copy !req
371. Okay, go big or go home, Maddie.Copy !req
372. Come on.Copy !req
373. You're not
seriously expecting meCopy !req
374. to hit those, are you?Copy !req
375. Wally.Copy !req
376. - Oh, okay.
- Wally. Wally.Copy !req
377. Wally. Wally, stop!
- Oh, yeah!Copy !req
378. Yo!Copy !req
379. And the crowd goes
absolutely nuts!Copy !req
380. Whoo!Copy !req
381. Yes!Copy !req
382. - You're insane, Wally.
- Let's go!Copy !req
383. Whoo!Copy !req
384. Yeah, Maddie!Copy !req
385. Oh!
- You're insane.Copy !req
386. No, you—you are a natural.Copy !req
387. Hey! Yo!Copy !req
388. She just got a strike
her first try.Copy !req
389. It's crazy. Dang.Copy !req
390. So this is field day.Copy !req
391. Yeah, yeah.Copy !req
392. I mean, it's more like
destroy-the-field day.Copy !req
393. But once a year,
we come out here,Copy !req
394. we just kind of get
our aggression outCopy !req
395. on the school, you know?Copy !req
396. Whoo!Copy !req
397. You still mad at me?Copy !req
398. Yes.Copy !req
399. Good.Copy !req
400. You're gonna need that anger.Copy !req
401. I understand that you've been
having a hard time adjustingCopy !req
402. to our metaphysical world.Copy !req
403. And what better way to practice
than our little tradition?Copy !req
404. Allow me to demonstrate.Copy !req
405. Oh! Mr. M, nice swing.Copy !req
406. Wow.Copy !req
407. Want to try?Copy !req
408. Or can't you think
of any feelingsCopy !req
409. you'd like to work through?Copy !req
410. Oh, I can think of a few.Copy !req
411. What?Copy !req
412. Holy shit.Copy !req
413. Sorry.Copy !req
414. Damn it.Copy !req
415. Maddie!Copy !req
416. Maddie?Copy !req
417. Damn it, where are you?Copy !req
418. Shit. Shit.Copy !req
419. - What?
- Look.Copy !req
420. You liar!Copy !req
421. Is he gone?Copy !req
422. Yes.
No one ever comes up here.Copy !req
423. You are so paranoid.
- Oh, my God.Copy !req
424. Ta-da!Copy !req
425. You know you didn't
have to do that.Copy !req
426. I would have paid you for that.
- What?Copy !req
427. After that guy was such an assCopy !req
428. over your mom's card
getting declined?Copy !req
429. No frickin' way.Copy !req
430. It's about time
that Kum & Go managerCopy !req
431. got a little
karmic comeuppance.Copy !req
432. Such a frickin' weirdo.Copy !req
433. Oh, totally.Copy !req
434. I'm like, "Eyes up, dude."Copy !req
435. Right. So you know what?
Cheers.Copy !req
436. Mm-hmm.Copy !req
437. Taking down one weirdo,Copy !req
438. one shoplift at a time.Copy !req
439. Mmm.Copy !req
440. What is this place?Copy !req
441. Old elevator control room.Copy !req
442. This factory's been
shut down for years.Copy !req
443. I don't know.Copy !req
444. I guess Shit River
didn't pan outCopy !req
445. to be the booming metropolis
they thought it would be.Copy !req
446. I don't know.Copy !req
447. I just like to come up here
and escape.Copy !req
448. Escape what?Copy !req
449. Oh, you know, life.Copy !req
450. Also, I love looking
for new additions.Copy !req
451. First loves.Copy !req
452. Break-ups.Copy !req
453. Male obsession
with their own genitals.Copy !req
454. Wait, don't we need
to be on it?Copy !req
455. I mean, not our genitals, but...Copy !req
456. We're a part of the historyCopy !req
457. up here too, now, right?Copy !req
458. Wow.Copy !req
459. I just did my initials,
but that's really good.Copy !req
460. It's just a doodle.Copy !req
461. It's stupid.Copy !req
462. No, it's not.Copy !req
463. I know you always say that
about the drawingsCopy !req
464. in your notebook or whatever,
but... you're an artist.Copy !req
465. Yeah, right.Copy !req
466. So what, you're just gonna
Van Gogh yourself?Copy !req
467. You're gonna cut off
your ear and die,Copy !req
468. and then when everyone finally
accepts you, it's too late?Copy !req
469. What?Copy !req
470. No, it's just...Copy !req
471. no one's cared this much.Copy !req
472. Well, maybe you should.Copy !req
473. Please tell me you're
at least going to studyCopy !req
474. rooftop tagging in college.Copy !req
475. No, I wish.Copy !req
476. I don't think
the community college hasCopy !req
477. much of an art program.Copy !req
478. My parents can't afford for me
to go anywhere else, so...Copy !req
479. Nope.Copy !req
480. I will not accept that, Nicole.Copy !req
481. You're too good.Copy !req
482. You deserve to be around things
that inspire you.Copy !req
483. I got it.Copy !req
484. When you come visit
Simon and I at Northwestern,Copy !req
485. we'll go to all
the art museums in Chicago.Copy !req
486. Promise?Copy !req
487. Yeah, I promise.Copy !req
488. Maddie?Copy !req
489. Hey.Copy !req
490. Man, I forgot
how high up this was.Copy !req
491. What are you doing here?Copy !req
492. What do you mean?Copy !req
493. Maddie used to come up here
all the time, right?Copy !req
494. - Right.
- Right.Copy !req
495. So I'm looking for her,
checking all the spots.Copy !req
496. Isn't that what you're doing?Copy !req
497. Uh-huh.Copy !req
498. So you didn't, maybe,
like a certain photoCopy !req
499. to get me up here?Copy !req
500. What photo?Copy !req
501. Oh, come on, Xavier.
Don't play dumb.Copy !req
502. I really don't know
what you're talking about.Copy !req
503. You stole Maddie's phone.Copy !req
504. How do I know you didn't
hack into her accountCopy !req
505. and use it to lure me up here?Copy !req
506. To do what, Nicole?Copy !req
507. To be your next victim.Copy !req
508. Oh, I know.Copy !req
509. I'm totally the girl who goes
into the basement/attic/placeCopy !req
510. where the killer's totally
waiting to kill people.Copy !req
511. Oh, my God. Fuck.Copy !req
512. But I just want you to know,Copy !req
513. if you "Vertigo" me
over this railing,Copy !req
514. everyone will hear me scream.Copy !req
515. Well, that seems
highly unlikelyCopy !req
516. as I am legitimately afraid
of heights.Copy !req
517. Seriously, if anyone has
vertigo here, it's me.Copy !req
518. It's, like—it's, like, hardCopy !req
519. for me to even be
standing up here right now.Copy !req
520. So you really didn't do this?Copy !req
521. No.Copy !req
522. So what are you
really doing here?Copy !req
523. I, um...Copy !req
524. I followed you.Copy !req
525. Oh, okay.
Because that's not creepy.Copy !req
526. No, I saw you in the library.Copy !req
527. It looked like you might have
found something.Copy !req
528. Why should I trust you?Copy !req
529. Because I've been cleared.Copy !req
530. I have an alibi.Copy !req
531. Mr. South saw me
in the boys' bathroom.Copy !req
532. He was fixing a window.Copy !req
533. My dad took his statement
last week.Copy !req
534. Then why haven't
you said anything?Copy !req
535. Because everybody's already
made up their minds about me.Copy !req
536. Haven't they?Copy !req
537. Fine.Copy !req
538. So then who liked this photo?Copy !req
539. Maybe Sandra opened up
Maddie's laptop,Copy !req
540. did it by accident.Copy !req
541. How would you know that?Copy !req
542. Because I was over there.Copy !req
543. I wanted her to know
I didn't do anything,Copy !req
544. and... then we hung out.Copy !req
545. She's in pretty rough shape, actually.Copy !req
546. But you're Maddie's friend,
so you'd know that, right?Copy !req
547. Yep, no.
We'll do that.Copy !req
548. We'll go
to Ms. Skoke's class...Copy !req
549. We'll do that later, though. Thanks.Copy !req
550. Mr. Anderson. Hey.
I was just looking for you.Copy !req
551. Uh, can we talk?Copy !req
552. Uh, yeah.
How can I help you, Simon?Copy !req
553. I was just wondering
what they saidCopy !req
554. when you turned it in.Copy !req
555. The piece of Maddie's phone.
You did turn it in, right?Copy !req
556. Yeah. I'm handling it, Simon.Copy !req
557. So you didn't turn it in?Copy !req
558. See, I only ask
because if you still thinkCopy !req
559. we should leave things
to the people in charge,Copy !req
560. that means you're gonna
turn it in, right?Copy !req
561. Like, to the cops.Copy !req
562. I lied, Simon.Copy !req
563. I don't trust
the people in charge.Copy !req
564. Not yet.Copy !req
565. So until I know who to trust,
I'm gonna play things safe,Copy !req
566. because the last thing I wantCopy !req
567. is for anyone to question you.Copy !req
568. You understand?Copy !req
569. Okay.Copy !req
570. Oh, yes!Copy !req
571. That was, mwah, beautiful.Copy !req
572. I'm gonna find more shit
for us to break.Copy !req
573. Best field day ever.Copy !req
574. Come on, Charley. Yes, sir!Copy !req
575. Okay, you just went
full-on Tonya Harding there.Copy !req
576. Everything okay?Copy !req
577. Technically,
Tonya was exonerated.Copy !req
578. But yeah, I guess I did.Copy !req
579. I had a fight with Simon.Copy !req
580. Oh.Copy !req
581. Uh, I'm sorry.Copy !req
582. That—that sucks.Copy !req
583. So what was it about?Copy !req
584. Simon thinks
that this teacherCopy !req
585. that I really,
really looked up toCopy !req
586. might be responsible somehow.Copy !req
587. And I just can't believe that.Copy !req
588. Why?Copy !req
589. Because it's a teacher?Copy !req
590. Maybe you should
talk to Rhonda.Copy !req
591. That took balls.Copy !req
592. No, I'm serious.
That took balls.Copy !req
593. Well, it was either
go back to schoolCopy !req
594. or stay home
and troll the trolls.Copy !req
595. Hmm.
Well, that's never a good idea.Copy !req
596. Don't you know you're not
supposed to read the comments?Copy !req
597. It's kind of hard not to
when they're turning your faceCopy !req
598. into a "Hellraiser"-y
pincushion.Copy !req
599. Mm. That's true.Copy !req
600. I don't think that the shit
people are saying about meCopy !req
601. is gonna stop for a long time.Copy !req
602. We just have to prove
that Maddie's out there.Copy !req
603. Then they'll have to shut up.Copy !req
604. How do we do that?Copy !req
605. The cops have already given up.Copy !req
606. It's like the less they find,
the less they look.Copy !req
607. Then we look.Copy !req
608. You know, I feel like
if we met in the same time,Copy !req
609. we would have been friends.Copy !req
610. Yeah?Copy !req
611. And why is that, cherry pop?Copy !req
612. Well, for one, I never
would have had the gutsCopy !req
613. to do that, alive or dead.Copy !req
614. Yeah, well,
the longer you're here,Copy !req
615. the less you'll care.Copy !req
616. You'll see.Copy !req
617. Right.Copy !req
618. I—I was wonderingCopy !req
619. what the story was between you
and your guidance counselor.Copy !req
620. I'm just curious.Copy !req
621. Why, so you can
blog about it?Copy !req
622. Blogs aren't really
a thing anymore, just—Copy !req
623. they—they take
too long to read.Copy !req
624. Of course they do.Copy !req
625. I was more just wanting
to get some answers.Copy !req
626. My pain is not for sale.Copy !req
627. No, I know that. I just—Copy !req
628. You think my death can
somehow help you solve yours?Copy !req
629. Honestly, I hope not.Copy !req
630. I just—I had a friendship
with a teacher too.Copy !req
631. I guess I'm just trying
to figure outCopy !req
632. what it all meant.Copy !req
633. Mr. Manfredo was
the nicest man I'd ever met.Copy !req
634. My father was a pencil pusher.Copy !req
635. Long hours, never home.Copy !req
636. And my mother cared more
about how that home looked—Copy !req
637. the lawn, the stupid roses.Copy !req
638. But Mr. Manfredo,Copy !req
639. he just cared about me.Copy !req
640. That sounds nice.Copy !req
641. And it was.Copy !req
642. He saw that I was
something special.Copy !req
643. He wrote to fancy schools
to let them know it too.Copy !req
644. If I had a grade that slipped,
he was firm.Copy !req
645. He knew what it took to succeed
out in the real world,Copy !req
646. and he wanted me
to see that world someday.Copy !req
647. But then when my dream,
or our dream,Copy !req
648. became a reality...Copy !req
649. It all went sideways.Copy !req
650. How so?Copy !req
651. I was in his office
showing himCopy !req
652. my acceptance letter
to Berkeley, and...Copy !req
653. he just shut down.Copy !req
654. And that's when it became clear
that all that kindness,Copy !req
655. all that guidance
came with a cost.Copy !req
656. What?Copy !req
657. What happened?Copy !req
658. We argued.Copy !req
659. He thought we were one thing.Copy !req
660. I... disagreed,Copy !req
661. and then when I went
to leave his office...Copy !req
662. let's just say I never left.Copy !req
663. Turns out nobody's who
you think they are, cherry pop.Copy !req
664. If I got any lasting adviceCopy !req
665. from my so-called
guidance counselor, it's that.Copy !req
666. So he was never caught?Copy !req
667. No, he was.Copy !req
668. He died in prison.Copy !req
669. That didn't change anything
for me.Copy !req
670. Nothing ever changes here.Copy !req
671. It all just resets in the end.Copy !req
672. So it's the same room?Copy !req
673. That's right.
This room and Ms. Field's room.Copy !req
674. They used to be the old
guidance counselor's office.Copy !req
675. - How is that possible?
- Well, they put this wall up.Copy !req
676. They split the room in two
after Rhonda was killed.Copy !req
677. Hang on.
Other kids were killed here?Copy !req
678. We don't have time for that.Copy !req
679. And Rhonda's death is why
we can talk in this classroom.Copy !req
680. And the others.Copy !req
681. It's why we can talk
in those places too.Copy !req
682. Simon, we can talk
anywhere that someone has died.Copy !req
683. The scars of the school.Copy !req
684. Mr. South talked to me
the other day.Copy !req
685. He said
that the school had scars.Copy !req
686. I guess maybe that was
what he meant.Copy !req
687. Yeah, it's how
we can connect.Copy !req
688. Great, so...Copy !req
689. we can connect.Copy !req
690. What are we gonna say
to each other?Copy !req
691. I'm gonna say that I'm sorryCopy !req
692. and that I shouldn't have
pushed you away earlier.Copy !req
693. Go on.Copy !req
694. And...Copy !req
695. that I think you may be right.Copy !req
696. Mm.Copy !req
697. Say more about this
me-being-right idea.Copy !req
698. It hasn't been easy, okay,Copy !req
699. to look at everyone in my life
and pick them apart.Copy !req
700. But I'm willing to admitCopy !req
701. that I might have had
a blind spot to Mr. Anderson.Copy !req
702. Thank you.Copy !req
703. And, Simon, if he really is
hiding something,Copy !req
704. then this classroom might be
our last place to look.Copy !req
705. And I can't do this
without you, Simon.Copy !req
706. I know that.Copy !req
707. And for more
than the obvious reasons...Copy !req
708. ditto.Copy !req
709. So what are we looking for?Copy !req
710. So we're a "we"?Copy !req
711. Yes, of course we're a "we."Copy !req
712. We're always a "we."Copy !req
713. And I'm guessing
we need to findCopy !req
714. whatever we're looking for
before Anderson comes back.Copy !req
715. We are so right about that.Copy !req
716. Let's find something that
finally nails this bastard.Copy !req
717. Hey, Ms. Nears.Copy !req
718. How you doing?Copy !req
719. I'd be doing a lot better
if my daughter was back home.Copy !req
720. No, of course.Copy !req
721. I, um—about that,
I am so, so sorryCopy !req
722. I haven't gone by
to check in on you.Copy !req
723. Nicole, you're here now.Copy !req
724. It's really good
to see you again.Copy !req
725. Great.Copy !req
726. So I come prepared.Copy !req
727. I have my flashlight,
bug spray,Copy !req
728. bear mace, PB&Js,
electrolytes—Copy !req
729. Wait. Did you say bear mace?Copy !req
730. Yeah.Copy !req
731. Do you want to go into
the dark, scary woods unarmed?Copy !req
732. Whoa.Copy !req
733. Especially when
that's our backup?Copy !req
734. Who needs him
when I got you two?Copy !req
735. Can I ask you something?Copy !req
736. Is it about how
the metaphysical worldCopy !req
737. resets itself, because I thinkCopy !req
738. I'm actually starting
to figure that one out.Copy !req
739. No.Copy !req
740. It's about the accident.Copy !req
741. Why didn't you call me?
- Simon.Copy !req
742. No, seriously,
forget about that stupid stuffCopy !req
743. I said earlier.Copy !req
744. I just want to know.Copy !req
745. Why not me?Copy !req
746. Please, please don't make me
tell you that.Copy !req
747. Just let this one go.Copy !req
748. Okay.Copy !req
749. I didn't crash that car.Copy !req
750. Should we wake her?Copy !req
751. No.Copy !req
752. It's usually best not to.Copy !req
753. You say you were driving?Copy !req
754. Yeah, that's right.Copy !req
755. So your mother...Copy !req
756. Wasn't even here.Copy !req
757. Got it.Copy !req
758. You sure about this, Maddie?Copy !req
759. What other choice do I have?Copy !req
760. They could take away
your license.Copy !req
761. Better than them
taking away her.Copy !req
762. Okay, then.Copy !req
763. We'll move her.Copy !req
764. I'll take her home,
but you're gonna stay hereCopy !req
765. so they don't think you fled.Copy !req
766. When I come back, we'll talkCopy !req
767. to the insurance company together.Copy !req
768. Okay?Copy !req
769. Maddie,
you were right to call me.Copy !req
770. If anyone else knew,
she could go away still.Copy !req
771. That's why I called him
and not you.Copy !req
772. You couldn't.Copy !req
773. Still, I've seenCopy !req
774. some of the things
you dealt with at home.Copy !req
775. No, that was just
the tip of the iceberg.Copy !req
776. You know, I guess
I was just worriedCopy !req
777. that if you really knew
how deep it goes,Copy !req
778. you might be scared away.Copy !req
779. Well, I'm talking
to your ghost right now,Copy !req
780. and I'm still here, so...Copy !req
781. Would you call me now?Copy !req
782. In a fucking heartbeat.Copy !req
783. I don't want to do this here.Copy !req
784. Shit.Copy !req
785. Nothing over here.Copy !req
786. Should we regroup?Copy !req
787. Yeah. I'm coming to you.Copy !req
788. Nicole, what do you think?
Should we try another spot?Copy !req
789. That's what I was asking you.Copy !req
790. That's what I was ask—Copy !req
791. that's right.Copy !req
792. - Can you hear anything?
- Yes.Copy !req
793. No, that's—fine. Fine.Copy !req
794. Wait. Why are you in here?Copy !req
795. Can't you just go out there?
- No, that's—Copy !req
796. - Right.
- No, I don't—Copy !req
797. - Yeah.
- That's not—Copy !req
798. God, I don't—I don't—I'm—Copy !req
799. no, no, no, no,
no, no, no, no, no.Copy !req
800. We already did things your way.Copy !req
801. Now we're gonna
do them mine, okay?Copy !req
802. Nicole?Copy !req
803. Did you hear that?Copy !req
804. Nicole, was that you?Copy !req
805. I found something.Copy !req
806. Oh, really?
Well, you—Copy !req
807. well, you know
what I shouldn't have done?Copy !req
808. I shouldn't have given Maddie
that fucking money!Copy !req
809. That's gotta be
Maddie's ticket, right?Copy !req
810. Holy shit. I remember that.Copy !req
811. She had it in study hall
the last time I saw her.Copy !req
812. Maddie?
What did he just say?Copy !req
813. Did you ask Mr. Anderson
for cash?Copy !req
814. No.Copy !req
815. I know that there are gapsCopy !req
816. in my memory,
but I'd remember that.Copy !req
817. Well, I mean,
he obviously thinks you did.Copy !req
818. I mean, shit, maybe this is
the reason that he did it.Copy !req
819. Could that be
her boot print too?Copy !req
820. I mean, it looks
like it, right?Copy !req
821. Isn't that Maddie's?Copy !req
822. Yeah, those are hers.Copy !req
823. - What the hell?
- I know it's hard.Copy !req
824. You just saw Mr. Hyde
over there on full display.Copy !req
825. No.Copy !req
826. What the hell? What is that?Copy !req
827. Holy shit.Copy !req
828. Why does a high school
English teacherCopy !req
829. have a shitload of cash
hidden in his classroom?Copy !req
830. I don't know, Maddie,
but I'm guessingCopy !req
831. it has to do
with why you're dead.Copy !req
