1. Previously on "School Spirits"...
Copy !req
2. They found Maddie's backpack?
Copy !req
3. Where?
- D—deserted house.
Copy !req
4. Wait, you died
at the homecoming game?
Copy !req
5. Yeah, and my family still
shows up for me every year.
Copy !req
6. Did you say anything
about me?
Copy !req
7. I don't remember.
Copy !req
8. Is it hard seeing him?
Copy !req
9. It's getting easier,
especially now that
Copy !req
10. I'm 95% sure he didn't kill me.
Copy !req
11. Win back Claire's confidence,
and then you crack her.
Copy !req
12. How am I gonna do that?
Copy !req
13. Tell him to ask her
to the homecoming dance.
Copy !req
14. Ask her
to the homecoming dance.
Copy !req
15. You're shitting me.
Copy !req
16. Do you wanna go
to the dance with me?
Copy !req
17. Sure, Wally.
Copy !req
18. I'm guessing this is how
Copy !req
19. Claire dragged your body
out of here.
Copy !req
20. You what?
Copy !req
21. I just can't—
Copy !req
22. a football player?
Copy !req
23. Shh! Keep your voice down.
Copy !req
24. You waited to be dead
Copy !req
25. to go to a school dance
Copy !req
26. with a jock?
Copy !req
27. Who are you now?
Copy !req
28. I'm changing the subject.
Copy !req
29. I would rather talk
about my murder
Copy !req
30. and my maybe murderer,
Claire, please.
Copy !req
31. Simon.
Copy !req
32. That's so gross.
Copy !req
33. Is it, Chloe?
Copy !req
34. I mean, I just think it's gross
Copy !req
35. that you're being
so judgmental.
Copy !req
36. Isn't your boyfriend
the guy who's been wearing
Copy !req
37. the same boat shoes
without socks
Copy !req
38. since the seventh grade?
Copy !req
39. And yet, I've never
brought that up.
Copy !req
40. Xavier is hot and original.
Copy !req
41. And he's been through a lot.
Copy !req
42. Expand your horizons, ladies.
Copy !req
43. And we're sure he didn't
murder his girlfriend?
Copy !req
44. Yes, we're sure.
Copy !req
45. Wait, I heard she ran away.
Copy !req
46. Then why would her blood
be on the wall, dumb-ass?
Copy !req
47. He has other shoes.
Copy !req
48. Claire said yes.
Copy !req
49. - Told you it would work.
- That's good.
Copy !req
50. Shit. What now?
Copy !req
51. Operation Claire—
we crack her at the dance.
Copy !req
52. Operation Claire—we crack
her at the dance.
Copy !req
53. Crack her?
What does that even mean?
Copy !req
54. Get her to admit
what she did.
Copy !req
55. The blackmail, for starters.
Copy !req
56. We know she's
blackmailing Anderson
Copy !req
57. for grades, right?
Copy !req
58. When they got that video,
they freaked.
Copy !req
59. And if Anderson didn't do it—
Copy !req
60. Then Claire definitely did.
Copy !req
61. We need to confirm
she took Maddie's phone
Copy !req
62. and smashed it—
Copy !req
63. and what else
she may have smashed,
Copy !req
64. like Maddie's head.
Copy !req
65. - Simon.
- Jesus. Come on.
Copy !req
66. - Nice.
- What? We need the truth.
Copy !req
67. Does the truth have to be
so graphic while we're eating?
Copy !req
68. You need to charm Claire
into a confession
Copy !req
69. and record it on your phone.
Copy !req
70. Get her to admit
she dragged Maddie's body
Copy !req
71. out the fallout shelter.
- Charm her?
Copy !req
72. Last week she was pretending
I didn't even exist.
Copy !req
73. How did that feel?
Copy !req
74. I don't even know
why she said yes.
Copy !req
75. Maybe she still
thinks you're hot.
Copy !req
76. He's gotta look hotter.
Copy !req
77. But you need to look hotter.
Copy !req
78. She did ask if I had a suit.
Copy !req
79. - Do you?
- No.
Copy !req
80. - Well, Nicole can help.
- Nicole,
Copy !req
81. take him to the mall,
find him a suit.
Copy !req
82. Why, 'cause I'm a girl?
Copy !req
83. - This needs something.
- Fine.
Copy !req
84. Yeah.
Ketchup.
Copy !req
85. Are you sure
you're okay with this?
Copy !req
86. You mean setting up
my cheating ex-boyfriend
Copy !req
87. and my traitor ex-friend?
Copy !req
88. It's a great plan.
Copy !req
89. Stop looking at me like that
or I'm gonna change my mind.
Copy !req
90. Is this dust or dandruff?
Copy !req
91. Ghosts can have allergies.
That's good to know.
Copy !req
92. Yeah, poor Charley will never
know the glory of a peanut M&M.
Copy !req
93. Even dead he still swells up.
Copy !req
94. - Really?
- Yeah.
Copy !req
95. So are you thinking
dress or suit?
Copy !req
96. - Dress.
- Well, that's a statement
Copy !req
97. for a homecoming dance.
Copy !req
98. Surprised you'd go frilly.
Copy !req
99. That's really—
Copy !req
100. I'm surprised you're going
to this thing at all.
Copy !req
101. It doesn't totally track
with you.
Copy !req
102. Well, how can one revolt
Copy !req
103. if they've never assimilated?
Copy !req
104. Weak reasoning.
Copy !req
105. But I'll let it slide.
Copy !req
106. I guess I'm just surprised
you guys
Copy !req
107. are throwing yourselves
into this.
Copy !req
108. You know, Wally's acting
like it's the first time
Copy !req
109. he's ever even heard
of a dance.
Copy !req
110. Yeah, well, he's been going
Copy !req
111. to this thing alone
for 37 years.
Copy !req
112. So brava, I suppose,
Copy !req
113. for helping him tackle
this unfinished business.
Copy !req
114. We don't always get
second chances on this side.
Copy !req
115. I have a question,
Copy !req
116. but you can't laugh.
Copy !req
117. Okay, well, I can't
guarantee anything, but shoot.
Copy !req
118. Can ghosts have sex?
Copy !req
119. I said we can swell,
didn't I?
Copy !req
120. Oh.
So you've all—
Copy !req
121. La grande mort
is no competition
Copy !req
122. for la petite mort,
Tootsie Roll.
Copy !req
123. But yeah, we've been going
through puberty for decades.
Copy !req
124. We have needs.
Copy !req
125. We have a past. We all do.
Copy !req
126. We all do, right?
Copy !req
127. Maddie Nears,
did you die a virgin?
Copy !req
128. Uh... hello.
Copy !req
129. I just wanted to come
and check in
Copy !req
130. and make sure that, um,
with everything going on,
Copy !req
131. finding out that you may
have possibly been dragged
Copy !req
132. through a murder tunnel
and all that,
Copy !req
133. um, I wanted to see if you were
still up to go to the—
Copy !req
134. I mean, are—do you—
- To go to the dance?
Copy !req
135. Yeah.
- Okay, you are—
Copy !req
136. You're not going
to this one alone, Wally.
Copy !req
137. That's—that's awesome.
Copy !req
138. And I will—I'll—
Copy !req
139. No, that was cool.
That was really cool.
Copy !req
140. Shut up.
Copy !req
141. - Hey.
- There's a chick in here!
Copy !req
142. Hey.
Copy !req
143. Can we talk?
Copy !req
144. In here?
Copy !req
145. You might wanna
check with them.
Copy !req
146. I mean,
I'm wearing clothes but—
Copy !req
147. Why the text?
Copy !req
148. Uh, wh—what do you mean?
Copy !req
149. Why now?
Copy !req
150. I mean, I—
I wrote it a while ago.
Copy !req
151. I just—I figured—
Copy !req
152. I felt bad about the way
I treated you, and it just—
Copy !req
153. it took me a while
to press send.
Copy !req
154. I guess I—
Copy !req
155. I miss you.
Copy !req
156. Oh, you guess.
Copy !req
157. I know I miss you.
Copy !req
158. Pick you up at 7:00 tomorrow.
Copy !req
159. You don't want me to drive?
Copy !req
160. - I wanna drive.
- You do?
Copy !req
161. Why?
Copy !req
162. My car has a bigger
back seat than yours.
Copy !req
163. You want Simon to copy this
and give it to him?
Copy !req
164. It's only 16 pages.
Copy !req
165. Front and back.
Copy !req
166. I mean, "I've been watching you
for the past 28 years."
Copy !req
167. Charley, Mr. Figueroa—
or Emilio,
Copy !req
168. he's gonna think
that you're messing with him.
Copy !req
169. Yeah, I didn't—
I didn't think about that.
Copy !req
170. I mean...
Copy !req
171. He's in his what now, 40s?
Copy !req
172. And isn't he married
to some guy?
Copy !req
173. Okay, wow.
Copy !req
174. Stab me in the chest,
why don't you?
Copy !req
175. Sorry, it's just, what
exactly are you trying to say?
Copy !req
176. Well, I just—I said
some awful things back then.
Copy !req
177. You know? I was so mad.
Copy !req
178. So now I just—I—
Copy !req
179. I just wanna apologize.
Copy !req
180. Yeah, I hear you.
Copy !req
181. But, you know, I think
this should read like 1994,
Copy !req
182. when you were alive.
Copy !req
183. I want him to know me now.
Copy !req
184. I know.
But all you can say
Copy !req
185. is that you didn't mean
those words
Copy !req
186. and that you forgive him.
Copy !req
187. Ugh. Okay.
Copy !req
188. Note taken.
Copy !req
189. One last thing.
Copy !req
190. You know once he reads
the letter,
Copy !req
191. you're gonna have
to forgive yourself, right?
Copy !req
192. Start living your life
or whatever,
Copy !req
193. or living your death.
Copy !req
194. Live your death.
Copy !req
195. I love that.
Copy !req
196. I'm gonna put that
on a T-shirt.
Copy !req
197. - Ope!
- Sorry.
Copy !req
198. - Jesus.
- Fuck.
Copy !req
199. What about checking
the metadata on the phone?
Copy !req
200. Are you able to pull that up?
- No, I—I did.
Copy !req
201. There's nothing—
no date, no place,
Copy !req
202. nothing about the phone
it was shot on.
Copy !req
203. - That's weird.
- Yeah.
Copy !req
204. Of all the questions—
and there are many—
Copy !req
205. this one seems like a big one.
Copy !req
206. Someone took that video, Nicole.
Copy !req
207. It doesn't matter
who took the video, all right?
Copy !req
208. The point is, Claire thinks
Maddie took the video.
Copy !req
209. So that's what we should
focus on, okay?
Copy !req
210. Where's your car?
Copy !req
211. Oh, my parents weren't
thrilled I got called in
Copy !req
212. by the cops for questioning,
Copy !req
213. so it's cycle city
for the foreseeable future.
Copy !req
214. Guess I'm driving
to the dance.
Copy !req
215. I'll see you tomorrow, okay?
Copy !req
216. Yo, Simon.
Copy !req
217. Simon.
Copy !req
218. I think Claire's playing us.
Copy !req
219. - He's bailing?
- What do you mean?
Copy !req
220. It's crazy
that she said yes, right?
Copy !req
221. Not that crazy.
Copy !req
222. It was a pretty
convincing text.
Copy !req
223. Of course it was. I wrote it.
Copy !req
224. And she cornered me
in the locker room earlier
Copy !req
225. like she was cornering prey,
I swear to God.
Copy !req
226. Oh, please.
You're hardly prey, Xavier.
Copy !req
227. Hm. Did you talk?
Copy !req
228. She's picking me up
at 7:00 tomorrow.
Copy !req
229. Good.
Copy !req
230. And she sent me a photo.
Copy !req
231. Like, a nude?
Copy !req
232. Not exactly.
I—
Copy !req
233. I—I feel like
I'm walking into a trap.
Copy !req
234. Funny.
I don't recall you being scared
Copy !req
235. when you were hooking up
in your back seat.
Copy !req
236. Yo, are you listening to me?
Copy !req
237. I don't think this
is a great plan.
Copy !req
238. Simon, tell him
he can't back out now.
Copy !req
239. You can't
back out now, Xavier.
Copy !req
240. - He owes me.
- You owe me.
Copy !req
241. I owe you?
Copy !req
242. Maddie.
Copy !req
243. You owe Maddie.
Copy !req
244. I look stupid.
Copy !req
245. Anything Harry Styles
would wear
Copy !req
246. is the opposite of stupid.
Copy !req
247. I—I just don't really
feel like
Copy !req
248. I can pull off
high-waisted pants.
Copy !req
249. And do they have to be orange?
Copy !req
250. It's called fashion, Xavier.
Copy !req
251. Oh. You know you're not
wearing pants, right?
Copy !req
252. Yeah.
If I'm getting killed tonight,
Copy !req
253. it's not gonna be
in anything orange.
Copy !req
254. Thank you.
Copy !req
255. Where's the blue suit?
Copy !req
256. Uh, it's over here. I got it.
Copy !req
257. Are you seriously worried
Claire might hurt you?
Copy !req
258. Xavier?
Copy !req
259. I don't know.
Copy !req
260. Maybe.
Copy !req
261. I thought I knew her.
Copy !req
262. Maybe I don't.
Copy !req
263. There's no turning back now.
Copy !req
264. - What's this?
- When I was cleaning up,
Copy !req
265. I found this essay Maddie wrote
for her college application.
Copy !req
266. I hate doing stuff online,
Copy !req
267. but I don't want her
to miss any deadline.
Copy !req
268. She already turned it in.
Copy !req
269. Early decision.
Copy !req
270. Uh, we both did.
Copy !req
271. Well, I thought Nicole said
something about a deadline.
Copy !req
272. For her.
Nicole's submitting a portfolio
Copy !req
273. for art school in Chicago.
- Oh.
Copy !req
274. The idea is we'd all be
together in the same city.
Copy !req
275. At least that was—
that was the plan.
Copy !req
276. It still is.
Copy !req
277. Maddie is coming home.
Copy !req
278. They found her backpack
at that house
Copy !req
279. and evidence that someone's
been sleeping there.
Copy !req
280. I have to believe
that she's coming back.
Copy !req
281. You're right.
I'm, uh—
Copy !req
282. I'm sorry.
Copy !req
283. She hasn't tried
to reach out to you at all?
Copy !req
284. You would let me know
if she had, wouldn't you?
Copy !req
285. Of course.
Copy !req
286. I should go.
Copy !req
287. I gotta get ready.
Tonight's homecoming.
Copy !req
288. Going to my first
high school dance.
Copy !req
289. Oh, that's sweet.
Copy !req
290. Will you send me some pictures?
Copy !req
291. You know, I always thought
that it would be nice
Copy !req
292. if you and Maddie went
to that together.
Copy !req
293. Oh, you're her best friend, Simon.
Copy !req
294. I don't know
what she would do without you.
Copy !req
295. Thank you.
Copy !req
296. Could I borrow this?
Copy !req
297. Beep, beep!
Copy !req
298. Your ride has arrived, m'lady.
Copy !req
299. You're late.
Copy !req
300. How will I ever
make it up to you?
Copy !req
301. Promise me that's
not a hot dog.
Copy !req
302. Well, that can be arranged.
Copy !req
303. Um... well, you look amazing.
Copy !req
304. Well, you can thank
Copy !req
305. the theater's
costume department
Copy !req
306. and Dawn's gift with
the home ec sewing machine,
Copy !req
307. although it's really unsettling
Copy !req
308. to watch her laugh
with pins in her mouth.
Copy !req
309. Uh, yeah.
Copy !req
310. Well, speaking of gifts,
I, um—
Copy !req
311. 57?
Copy !req
312. Your football number?
Copy !req
313. Yeah. Ah, shit.
Copy !req
314. You hate this, don't you?
I'm sorry.
Copy !req
315. - No.
- This—I'm embarrassed.
Copy !req
316. No, this is so stupid.
Copy !req
317. It's so stupid.
It's just something
Copy !req
318. we used to do back in the '80s.
Copy !req
319. It's a thing, you know?
- Wally—
Copy !req
320. - As a football player—
- It's sweet.
Copy !req
321. Yeah.
Copy !req
322. It was hard to find flowers,
so I had to,
Copy !req
323. uh, use paper, as you can see.
Copy !req
324. So, uh,
Copy !req
325. stay away from an open flame.
Copy !req
326. Cool? All right, let's go.
Copy !req
327. After you.
Copy !req
328. - Wow.
- I know.
Copy !req
329. It's a pretty sweet ride.
Copy !req
330. Here we go.
Copy !req
331. Whoo!
Copy !req
332. Hm.
Copy !req
333. That's very generous, Claire.
Copy !req
334. Oh, it's nothing.
Copy !req
335. My parents just wanted
to show their support
Copy !req
336. for your re-election.
Copy !req
337. Well, I'll be sure
to give 'em a call.
Copy !req
338. Let me just see
what's taking Xavier so long.
Copy !req
339. Oh, no rush.
Copy !req
340. No, I'm early.
Copy !req
341. My mom always says,
if you're on time, you're late.
Copy !req
342. Yeah.
Her meds are helping with that.
Copy !req
343. I'm just glad the school
didn't cancel homecoming.
Copy !req
344. Yeah, this year
has been unreal.
Copy !req
345. First Maddie
and then Mr. Anderson...
Copy !req
346. Yeah, it's nothing
you kids need to worry about.
Copy !req
347. The police are on it.
- It's hard not
Copy !req
348. to wonder though
if we'll ever have any answers.
Copy !req
349. Are there any updates?
Copy !req
350. Mm, nothing I can share
quite yet.
Copy !req
351. My parents keep asking
why Anderson's not speaking.
Copy !req
352. Or is he?
Copy !req
353. Do we think he had
anything to do
Copy !req
354. with what happened to Maddie?
Copy !req
355. It's an ongoing
investigation, Claire.
Copy !req
356. But, uh, be sure
to tell you folks
Copy !req
357. we're very thankful
they're cooperating
Copy !req
358. while we continue to search
the abandoned property.
Copy !req
359. Will you?
Copy !req
360. Hey.
Copy !req
361. I—I couldn't find my belt.
Copy !req
362. Wow.
Copy !req
363. You look—
- Almost respectable.
Copy !req
364. This is your influence,
I'm guessing.
Copy !req
365. Yeah, you look great.
Copy !req
366. Thanks.
Copy !req
367. Make sure he behaves himself,
will you?
Copy !req
368. And you, you better
look after that suit.
Copy !req
369. You know, your grandfather had
a suit like that—
Copy !req
370. had it his whole life.
Copy !req
371. He was buried in it.
Copy !req
372. What? It's called
psychological torture.
Copy !req
373. - I guess.
- Her penetrating gaze
Copy !req
374. watches over us,
especially Claire.
Copy !req
375. Uh-huh.
Copy !req
376. If you really got
something to hide,
Copy !req
377. her eyes follow you.
Copy !req
378. Yeah, no, I get it. Stop.
Copy !req
379. Hey.
Did you put that up there?
Copy !req
380. Is that a problem?
Copy !req
381. No, no,
it's a really nice gesture.
Copy !req
382. She should be here,
at least in our thoughts.
Copy !req
383. Please. No one even knew her.
Copy !req
384. The last place Maddie
would wanna be is here.
Copy !req
385. Yeah, I wanted to tell
her mom that, but I couldn't.
Copy !req
386. This morning Sandra said
she always thought
Copy !req
387. Maddie and I would end up
going to homecoming together.
Copy !req
388. Hm. I can see that.
Copy !req
389. What? Why?
Copy !req
390. Please, you never
thought about it?
Copy !req
391. Nope.
Copy !req
392. Maybe once, but I—
Copy !req
393. I shut it down immediately.
Copy !req
394. Yeah, yeah.
Copy !req
395. She's my best friend.
Copy !req
396. The stakes are way too high.
Copy !req
397. When was the last time
you wore a suit?
Copy !req
398. The only dance
I've ever been to
Copy !req
399. was a middle school mixer,
Copy !req
400. and I was only there
'cause my band was playing.
Copy !req
401. Cute.
Copy !req
402. What just happened?
Copy !req
403. Why are we killing the engine?
Copy !req
404. Claire?
Copy !req
405. I wanna talk.
Copy !req
406. Isn't that what we're doing?
Copy !req
407. The cheerleaders might be
a bit bitchy to you tonight.
Copy !req
408. That tracks.
Copy !req
409. Mm.
Copy !req
410. I wanted to prep for you.
Copy !req
411. When I mentioned
I was going with you,
Copy !req
412. they've been very judgey.
Copy !req
413. Extra spicy, you know.
Copy !req
414. Right.
Well, consider me prepped.
Copy !req
415. Can we get back on the road?
'Cause I think if we're—
Copy !req
416. They've noticed
you've been hanging out
Copy !req
417. with Nicole lately.
Copy !req
418. Kristin saw you hang out
at the mall together.
Copy !req
419. What's that about?
Copy !req
420. She was Maddie's best friend.
Copy !req
421. We were always
around each other.
Copy !req
422. Can we go now?
Copy !req
423. No.
Copy !req
424. Now we can go.
Copy !req
425. Oh, look at you,
Dead Astaire.
Copy !req
426. Thank you, thank you,
thank you, Mr. Peanut.
Copy !req
427. You look, uh, um...
Copy !req
428. Use your words.
Copy !req
429. I like your jacket.
Copy !req
430. So you plan on dancing tonight?
Copy !req
431. Oh, hell no. No.
Copy !req
432. Unless they miraculously play,
like, Roicc,
Copy !req
433. I'll be focused
on Operation Claire.
Copy !req
434. - Yeah, they here yet?
- Not yet.
Copy !req
435. But in the meantime,
Copy !req
436. here's Charley's letter
Copy !req
437. transcribed
to world-of-the-living paper.
Copy !req
438. You got any more ghost friends
that need favors?
Copy !req
439. Can I charge them?
Copy !req
440. I think that's already cost
Charley plenty,
Copy !req
441. but thank you.
Copy !req
442. And where is this Charley?
Copy !req
443. Is he standing
right next to you?
Copy !req
444. Hi.
Copy !req
445. No.
Copy !req
446. But he's very grateful, Simon.
Copy !req
447. That letter's gonna help him
more than you can imagine.
Copy !req
448. Help him what...
Copy !req
449. cross over?
Copy !req
450. Is that gonna happen
Copy !req
451. when we figure out
what happened to you?
Copy !req
452. Maybe.
Copy !req
453. So yeah, just, uh,
tell him that you found it
Copy !req
454. in between the pages of an old
library book or something.
Copy !req
455. Um, I gotta go.
I'll just—
Copy !req
456. I'll come find you
in a sec, okay?
Copy !req
457. Punch.
Copy !req
458. - Thank you.
- Course.
Copy !req
459. So... what do we do now?
Copy !req
460. Hey.
- Relax. Just—
Copy !req
461. - You just gave that to me.
- Come on, let's go.
Copy !req
462. - Wally.
- Come on.
Copy !req
463. - Wally, I don't dance.
- We're dancing.
Copy !req
464. Yes. Yes.
Copy !req
465. Give me your hands.
Copy !req
466. Loosen up.
Copy !req
467. Let's get wavy.
Copy !req
468. I didn't know
dancing was this easy.
Copy !req
469. Ooh. Okay, watch.
Copy !req
470. Boom, boom, boom, boom. Yeah.
Copy !req
471. - Wow.
- I know, I know.
Copy !req
472. Everything okay?
Copy !req
473. Mm-hmm.
Copy !req
474. Uh, nothing for you
to worry about.
Copy !req
475. - Are you good?
- Mm-hmm.
Copy !req
476. Was that your idea?
Copy !req
477. No, it was—was probably
one of the teachers.
Copy !req
478. I, um—I heard they found
her backpack—Maddie's.
Copy !req
479. It was in that empty house
your dad owns.
Copy !req
480. And?
Copy !req
481. Well, it's just weird that
they found it there, right?
Copy !req
482. Out of all places.
Copy !req
483. Are we gonna spend
the night talking
Copy !req
484. about your old girlfriend?
Copy !req
485. How fast was I going, officer?
Copy !req
486. I'd say around 90.
Copy !req
487. Suppose you get down
off your motorcycle
Copy !req
488. and give me a ticket?
Copy !req
489. Suppose I let you off
with a warning this time?
Copy !req
490. Suppose it doesn't take?
Copy !req
491. Suppose I have to whack
you over the knuckles?
Copy !req
492. Suppose I bust out crying
Copy !req
493. and put my head
on your shoulder?
Copy !req
494. 8:30 tomorrow evening?
Copy !req
495. That's what I suggested.
Copy !req
496. You'll be here too?
Copy !req
497. I guess so. I usually am.
Copy !req
498. Same chair—
Copy !req
499. Maddie?
Copy !req
500. And here's one
for the chaperones.
Copy !req
501. Oh, shit!
Copy !req
502. This is my song.
Copy !req
503. This DJ sucks.
Copy !req
504. This DJ rules.
Copy !req
505. The guy's pretty fly,
I'll give him that.
Copy !req
506. - Incredible.
- Whoo!
Copy !req
507. How'd you know
about the backpack?
Copy !req
508. One of the many perks
of living with the sheriff.
Copy !req
509. But you already knew.
Copy !req
510. - My stepdad told me.
- Oh.
Copy !req
511. Come on, Principal Hartman,
let's go!
Copy !req
512. Whoo!
Copy !req
513. Have you, uh—
you been back to that house,
Copy !req
514. you know, since we...
Copy !req
515. Are you asking
if I went back there
Copy !req
516. to hook up with someone else?
Copy !req
517. No. No. Definitely not.
Copy !req
518. I don't go there alone.
Copy !req
519. I'm gonna go get us
some drinks.
Copy !req
520. Dance with him.
Copy !req
521. - Oh.
- I'll be right back.
Copy !req
522. Okay.
Copy !req
523. Punch bowl now.
Copy !req
524. - How's it going?
- I don't know.
Copy !req
525. She's smooth.
She's a really good liar.
Copy !req
526. Oh, met your match, huh?
Copy !req
527. - Maybe we should call it off.
- No.
Copy !req
528. Absolutely not.
Dude, he has to push harder.
Copy !req
529. Are you even trying?
Ask more questions.
Copy !req
530. What do you think
I'm doing, Simon?
Copy !req
531. Okay, maybe he's not
asking the right questions.
Copy !req
532. Simon?
Copy !req
533. It's fine.
Copy !req
534. Did you ask her
about the phone?
Copy !req
535. No. No. Not yet.
Copy !req
536. If I ask her about the phone,
she's just gonna bail.
Copy !req
537. Just stop being
a fucking coward. Ask her—
Copy !req
538. - Simon, chill!
- A cow—fuck you, Simon.
Copy !req
539. You know what?
I'm not your puppet.
Copy !req
540. I'm gonna figure this out
by myself.
Copy !req
541. - No, Xavier—
- Just back off.
Copy !req
542. Both of you, okay?
Copy !req
543. It's Sandra.
Copy !req
544. - Dude.
- I'll call her back tomorrow.
Copy !req
545. I just can't handle it
right now.
Copy !req
546. She's calling me now.
Copy !req
547. She needs more friends her age.
Copy !req
548. You're being a jerk.
Copy !req
549. Hey, Sandra.
Copy !req
550. Could you repeat that?
I couldn't—
Copy !req
551. Maddie?
Copy !req
552. Wait, did you call the cops?
Copy !req
553. Yeah, no,
that's probably smart.
Copy !req
554. Okay. I'll be right there.
Copy !req
555. She said she was watching TV
Copy !req
556. and she heard someone
in the backyard.
Copy !req
557. She thinks it's Maddie.
Copy !req
558. She's afraid to call the police
in case they scare Maddie off.
Copy !req
559. She wants us to come over.
Copy !req
560. You know what?
I—I'll handle it.
Copy !req
561. Can you find a ride home?
Copy !req
562. Mr. Figueroa.
Copy !req
563. Hey, what's up, Simon?
Copy !req
564. Uh, isn't your first name
Emilio?
Copy !req
565. Yeah.
Copy !req
566. I think I found
something that, uh,
Copy !req
567. belongs to you—maybe.
Copy !req
568. I was in the library yesterday.
Copy !req
569. I found this tucked
into an old copy
Copy !req
570. of "The Things They Carried."
Copy !req
571. Look, Maddie,
you know I hate to brag.
Copy !req
572. And even though I was dead and
I couldn't put on the crown,
Copy !req
573. I did win Homecoming King
my senior year.
Copy !req
574. I know, I know.
Copy !req
575. Was it an honorary thing
Copy !req
576. because you died
the night before the dance?
Copy !req
577. No. No. Hell, no.
Copy !req
578. No, I won fair and square, okay?
Copy !req
579. I got all my votes
before I got hit.
Copy !req
580. Maddie, I don't know
if you know this about me,
Copy !req
581. but I'm actually
pretty charming.
Copy !req
582. I liked kissing you earlier
in the car.
Copy !req
583. Yeah, I'm a good kisser.
Copy !req
584. We've established that.
Copy !req
585. You know my soft spot.
Copy !req
586. What game are you playing?
Copy !req
587. You wanna get out of here?
Copy !req
588. Trust me.
Copy !req
589. Hey, Maddie,
I think this was a bad idea.
Copy !req
590. What was?
Copy !req
591. Coming to this dance together.
Copy !req
592. What? No.
Copy !req
593. I just—I, um—
Copy !req
594. I don't think you're really
ready to be dead yet.
Copy !req
595. Is anyone?
Copy !req
596. I am.
Copy !req
597. Okay.
But you're, like, old dead.
Copy !req
598. I—that came out wrong.
Copy !req
599. I just mean that I have been
dead for two weeks, Wally.
Copy !req
600. And—
Copy !req
601. Wait, where'd they go?
Copy !req
602. Where's your date?
Copy !req
603. What?
Copy !req
604. 6'2", dark hair,
Copy !req
605. part boy,
part golden retriever.
Copy !req
606. I can't really worry
about him right now, Rhonda.
Copy !req
607. Ouch.
Copy !req
608. So much for Wally's
special night.
Copy !req
609. Have you seen
Xavier and Claire?
Copy !req
610. I don't know who that is.
Copy !req
611. You know, we could've gone
to the parking lot.
Copy !req
612. This is way hotter.
Copy !req
613. Not to kink shame, but—
Copy !req
614. What is that?
Copy !req
615. Xavier, what are you doing?
Copy !req
616. Where'd you find it?
Copy !req
617. Over here
by these back bushes.
Copy !req
618. Oh, yeah. What you got?
Copy !req
619. It was buried.
Copy !req
620. We figured
if the backpack was here,
Copy !req
621. there could be something else.
Copy !req
622. Nice work.
Copy !req
623. And you thought
you could bring me down here
Copy !req
624. to what, Xavier, to what?
Copy !req
625. To force a confession
out of me?
Copy !req
626. Did you kill her, Claire?
Copy !req
627. I know you swapped
Maddie's phone.
Copy !req
628. Is that why you wanted
to drive tonight,
Copy !req
629. so when you picked me up
you could get some answers
Copy !req
630. out of my dad, huh?
Copy !req
631. You know, maybe—
Copy !req
632. maybe I should have
shown my dad this.
Copy !req
633. How do you have this?
Copy !req
634. Xavier, who else has seen this?
Copy !req
635. Other people,
so deleting it's not gonna
Copy !req
636. make a difference.
Copy !req
637. Jesus.
Copy !req
638. I figured out
Mr. Anderson was dealing.
Copy !req
639. Okay, and—
and I saw an opportunity,
Copy !req
640. and I took it.
Copy !req
641. Okay, people do this shit
every day.
Copy !req
642. It was one class.
Copy !req
643. I just needed an A, Xavier.
Copy !req
644. I told Mr. Anderson
that if he gave me an A,
Copy !req
645. I wouldn't say anything
about the money.
Copy !req
646. What about Maddie's phone?
Copy !req
647. Why'd you swap it?
Copy !req
648. What'd you do
with the real one?
Copy !req
649. We thought Maddie took
the video.
Copy !req
650. And I just wanted to delete it.
Copy !req
651. But I couldn't unlock it,
Copy !req
652. so I gave it
to Mr. Anderson, okay?
Copy !req
653. He was the one
that got rid of it.
Copy !req
654. You better not
be lying to me.
Copy !req
655. I told him to pay her off,
Copy !req
656. to—to give her the money,
whatever she wanted.
Copy !req
657. But that is all I did.
Copy !req
658. For me, there is no room
for failure.
Copy !req
659. Okay, and maybe
that seems dumb to you.
Copy !req
660. Everyone just thinks
that I have it so easy.
Copy !req
661. But do you know
how much work it takes
Copy !req
662. to make everything look easy?
Copy !req
663. I know we made a mistake,
Copy !req
664. Anderson and I,
Copy !req
665. you and I, cheating.
Copy !req
666. I have been terrified.
Copy !req
667. Everything just—
it spun out of control so fast.
Copy !req
668. I didn't hurt Maddie.
Copy !req
669. I don't know
what happened to her.
Copy !req
670. But it wasn't me.
Copy !req
671. And without further ado,
Copy !req
672. your 2023 Homecoming Queen
is Claire Zomer!
Copy !req
673. What the hell is happening?
Copy !req
674. Where were they?
Copy !req
675. Claire didn't do anything
to Maddie.
Copy !req
676. I believe her. I do.
Copy !req
677. Claire was blackmailing
Anderson for grades.
Copy !req
678. When Claire and Anderson got
that video,
Copy !req
679. they thought
that Maddie had taken it,
Copy !req
680. so they paid her off.
Copy !req
681. When Maddie disappeared,
Claire panicked.
Copy !req
682. I mean,
if that video got out there,
Copy !req
683. people would think that—
Copy !req
684. That's motive.
Copy !req
685. Yeah.
Copy !req
686. They couldn't get
into Maddie's locked phone,
Copy !req
687. so they destroyed it.
Copy !req
688. We were right,
Copy !req
689. but Claire wouldn't
hurt Maddie.
Copy !req
690. She wouldn't.
Copy !req
691. I believe her.
Copy !req
692. There was somebody out there.
Copy !req
693. I believe you.
Copy !req
694. Sandra, you home?
Copy !req
695. Did you call the police?
Copy !req
696. No.
Copy !req
697. Hi.
Copy !req
698. I promised I'd, um—
Copy !req
699. well, I have some news.
Copy !req
700. You know the empty house where
we found Maddie's backpack?
Copy !req
701. Yes.
Copy !req
702. Well, we found
something else,
Copy !req
703. a possible murder weapon.
Copy !req
704. What?
Copy !req
705. Murder weapon?
Copy !req
706. We've traced the object to,
uh, a person of interest.
Copy !req
707. They're being brought in
for questioning as we speak.
Copy !req
708. Who?
Copy !req
709. - Roger South?
- Yeah?
Copy !req
710. It's an employee
at the high school.
Copy !req
711. I can't release a name
just yet.
Copy !req
712. I'm sorry.
Copy !req
713. But it's not Anderson.
Copy !req
714. He has a solid alibi.
Copy !req
715. As soon as I have
more information I can share,
Copy !req
716. you'll be the first to know.
Copy !req
717. Why—
Copy !req
718. why would someone do this?
Copy !req
719. Anderson has given us
enough information
Copy !req
720. to believe that, uh,
Copy !req
721. Maddie had a great deal
of money on her.
Copy !req
722. And this person wanted it.
Copy !req
723. Sandra.
Copy !req
724. I was Team Crystal.
Copy !req
725. Oh, okay, humor did not work.
Copy !req
726. Uh, let's try truth.
Copy !req
727. Being a ghost sucks.
Copy !req
728. Yup.
Copy !req
729. I mean,
you're forced to watch
Copy !req
730. your cheating ex-BF dance
with your cheating ex-BFF,
Copy !req
731. and they have no idea
you even exist.
Copy !req
732. If you're trying
to cheer me up—
Copy !req
733. Okay, I—I wasn't done.
Copy !req
734. Being a ghost sucks
most of the time.
Copy !req
735. But today I was able
to watch the love of my life
Copy !req
736. close a very old,
very deep wound...
Copy !req
737. thanks to you.
Copy !req
738. How do you feel now?
Copy !req
739. I'm ready to forgive.
Copy !req
740. Live my death, remember?
Copy !req
741. It's good advice, you know.
Copy !req
742. Maybe it's time you,
Copy !req
743. you know, take it.
Copy !req
744. Maybe you should focus on
the person you came here with.
Copy !req
745. Uh, that sounded better
in my head.
Copy !req
746. Wally, I'm sorry.
Copy !req
747. There was a lot happening,
Copy !req
748. and I didn't want
to ruin this night for you.
Copy !req
749. But I should have just
been honest with you
Copy !req
750. and told you what was going on.
Copy !req
751. Maddie, it's—it's fine.
Copy !req
752. You don't have
to apologize to me.
Copy !req
753. I—
Copy !req
754. That was also better
in my head.
Copy !req
755. Now here's a song for the sad
guy popping balloons.
Copy !req
756. Hey.
Copy !req
757. - Listen.
- I know, this song.
Copy !req
758. We were just talking about it—
- Simon, listen.
Copy !req
759. But what did they find?
Copy !req
760. A weapon.
Copy !req
761. A weapon that may have
been used
Copy !req
762. to murder Maddie Nears.
Copy !req
763. And then how do they know
that it's—
Copy !req
764. South!
He's the only one
Copy !req
765. who had access
to that tool cabinet.
Copy !req
766. - Mr. South?
- Do you have your keys?
Copy !req
767. Yeah, I do.
I'll take care of it.
Copy !req
768. Just—I can't believe it.
Copy !req
