Secrets of Sulphur Springs (2021) s01e11 Episode Script

Previously on Secrets of Sulphur Springs…
For the first time in my life,
I have a mom and dad who love me.
I can't leave here.
I just had an idea.
This was inside an old coffee can
Savannah and I used to pass messages.
She's out there just living her life.
Change of plans, Griff.
We decided to stay.
[Harper] Don't you think about
what things would be like
if Dad hadn't died in that crash?
Wouldn't it be amazing
if we could go back and change things?
Of course it would.
Hey, what's up? You need some help?
Before I know it,
I'm flying over the handlebars
and I'm thinking,
"Where'd that dumb log come from?"
Whoa, whoa, whoa. Slow down now.
So, where's the bike?
Left it by the creek.
Bent frame. Chain's in a knot.
I was wondering
if I could get a ride back into town.
Didn't your daddy ever tell you
not to accept rides from strangers?
Actually, you're not really a stranger.
Uh, my mom knows your wife.
You're Mr. Dunn, right?
My dad's Mr. Dunn. You can call me Chris.
-And you are?
-Marie. Granger.
Marie?
That's my mother's name.
How about that?
Hop on in, Marie Granger.
Oh, you really don't want to take
Bayou Road.
-I don't?
-It's closed up ahead.
You should take Sugar Hill instead.
It's faster too.
If you insist.
I come out here every Sunday.
Drive around the old Tremont property.
Don't tell anyone,
but I'm planning to buy it.
You are?
I mean, that old place?
Why-- Why would you want
to buy The Tremont?
The land was owned
by my family for generations,
even before it was a hotel.
Just a farm back then.
Sugarcane mostly.
-Look out!
-[truck horn blares]
[exhales]
That was close. [exhales] Thanks.
Guess it's what I'm here for.
Oh, there's Sugar Hill.
[guitars playing rock]
[Ben playing up-tempo riff]
[gasps, chuckles]
Whoo-hoo-hoo!
-Whoo! [chuckles]
-Yay!
-You're really good, Dad.
-It's been a while, hasn't it?
Yeah, it feels like forever.
Okay, check this out.
Prepare to be amazed.
[playing rock riff]
[riff continues off-key]
-Dad.
-[groans] Dang!
-I always mess up there.
-[chuckles]
Course, when you're on a stage
in front of a bunch of campers
and your father…
-Is that the song you won the trophy for?
-Yeah, with the same mistake and all.
I still have no idea how I won. [laughs]
You know,
maybe they stuffed the ballot box.
I remember thinking the exact same thing.
Well, it's good old Camp Tremont.
You know,
I had a dream about it last night.
I was 12.
Everything was exactly the same,
except you were there.
Me? Uh, really?
Yeah. We were hanging out
in one of the bunkhouses
and talking about…
I don't know, who-knows-what.
Then I woke up.
Hmm. That's…
That's weird.
Yeah. Yeah, it kinda was.
I hope I'm not keeping you
from your family.
-My dad said he'd be here soon.
-No worries.
-I've got time till we go out to the lake.
-The-- The lake?
My other Sunday tradition.
When the weather's nice,
I take the family for a picnic.
Thought it'd be the perfect time for me to
tell them about my plan to buy the place.
-Your wife doesn't know?
-No.
I didn't want to get her hopes all up
until I had the money to get it started.
But it's gonna be such a great place
for the kids.
So, how old are your kids?
Oh, well, there's Harper. She's four.
And Toph is three.
[chuckles] Harper's my little artist,
and Topher, he's turning into
the family comedian. [laughs]
So, the idea is to move into The Tremont
when you buy it?
I used to work summers at the hotel
when I was a kid.
It's where I met my wife. Jess.
She was a camper, and I'd help out
the bellhops or whoever else needed me.
Heard The Tremont has a ghost.
[chuckling] Ooh, yeah.
Savannah Dillon? [laughs]
Mmm. Don't tell me you believe that stuff.
Uh, well, I-- I did. I mean, I used to.
Listen, I've been through
that whole hotel.
I didn't find any ghost.
[chuckles]
But that car of mine?
'67 GTO.
Restored it soup to nuts.
And when I sell it,
that'll be the money
I use for my down payment.
Sorry. Like you care about any of this.
-[laughs]
-No. It's really cool.
I definitely care.
-[laughing] What?
-It's-- It's just funny.
You remind me so much of my daughter.
Oh, no. Not an artistic bone in my body.
Hmm.
Well, I should get back to the tribe.
I don't want to be late.
-You sure your dad is on his way?
-Be here any second.
It was really nice meeting you, Marie.
[grunts]
Um, it was just a ride.
Uh, I know. [laughs] Sorry.
I just get silly sometimes.
Well, Miss Silly Marie,
I'm guessing
we'll be running into each other again.
Counting on it.
Wyatt?
Where are you?
Wyatt?
-What are you doing?
-Shh.
It started rocking.
All by itself.
Come here. Sit down.
Watch.
-I really don't think--
-Shh.
You're gonna scare it.
[creaking]
Just like before.
Savannah?
Is it you?
I think I'm gonna need my hat.
-Hey!
-Oh!
-There you are.
-How did you find me?
I was looking for you. To tell you
that we're not moving after all.
And then I noticed that the tumblers
on the radio were set to 2011.
The year that your dad died.
I saved him, Griffin.
I saved my father from the car accident.
That-- That's-- That's incredible.
How? What happened?
I got in his car with him.
There was this truck headed right for us.
I warned him, and he avoided the wreck.
We took a shortcut into town.
And then we had coffee at my mom's place.
Only it wasn't Dunn's.
It was some other name.
But get this!
My dad's dream was to buy The Tremont.
And why?
Because it was in his family
years and years ago.
Wait. How could you not know this?
I mean, before now.
My mom never talked about it.
Maybe she didn't know.
He was planning to surprise her
the day he died.
I know what you're thinking.
You're worried.
I messed with destiny, changed things.
But I'm telling you, Griffin,
when we get back,
my dad will still be alive,
waiting at home for me.
And everything will be all right.
You'll see.
We're gonna find
a whole new world up there.
[door opens]
It's all the same.
Okay, then he didn't buy it.
Probably bought the coffee shop instead.
He'll be at home.
Harper, come on. I-I mean, what if he--
Why are you doubting this?
For once,
why can't you just be happy for me?
Dad?
Dad?
Dad?
[breathing heavily]
Dad?
Dad?
[footsteps approach]
Did you just say "Dad"?
Yes, I did.
Yeah. I've been thinking about him too.
Today's the anniversary of the accident.
[door slams]
[knocks]
[Topher] Harper.
You okay?
Yeah, Toph, I'm fine.
I just need some time.
[sniffles]
[sighs]
[sniffling]
-Shh.
-You'll scare it.
Scare what?
And why is this rocking chair in my room?
We brought it in to keep an eye on it.
This is a stakeout.
There's a ghost.
Guys, come on. I thought we were done
with all this ghost stuff.
-We saw the chair rock.
-Twice.
In Mom and Dad's room.
By itself.
-Savannah?
-We thought that too.
But when we asked, "Are you Savannah?"
It wrote on the mirror again.
Wrote what?
N-O.
[imitating ghost] No.
So we think it's someone else.
Someone who likes rocking chairs.
Sit with us. Help us watch.
But just so you know, it only comes out
when you're really, really quiet.
[Topher]
Harper, wait! What are you talking about?
I remembered. It all came back.
[Jess] What?
Our dad didn't die on Bayou Road.
It wasn't a car accident.
Oh, my poor baby.
We were at the lake.
Our canoe went over.
I held on, but Dad didn't.
And I blocked it all out, didn't I?
The whole day. All of it.
Yes, baby, you did.
The doctors, they said not to tell you,
not to force things,
that it would all come back on its own.
But you told me it was a car accident.
Oh, sweetie, you woke up one morning
and you said it was a car accident.
And for the first time in forever,
you seemed so…
at peace.
I figured it was the closure you needed.
That's why you always said
The Tremont was cursed.
Because that's where we lost him.
In that lake, on the Tremont property.
And after that, I never wanted
either of you anywhere near that place.
Because bad things happen there.
Did you know it was Dad's dream to buy it?
I knew it had been in his family,
that he liked to go out there,
but buy The Tremont?
-No, he never told me that.
-He was gonna fix it up.
Move in.
Baby, how could you possibly know that?
I don't know.
Maybe I made that up too.
Whatever happened
to his yellow convertible?
I sold it.
For a down payment on the coffee shop.
It's where we had our first date.
And a lot of dates after that.
You okay, baby?
Yeah, I am.
I am now.
Finally, it all makes sense.
[Wyatt sighs]
[groans]
I'm hungry.
Can you watch it
while we go get something to eat?
If you make me something too.
Peanut butter and jelly?
Yeah, that works.
Great. It's the only thing
we know how to make.
[creaking]
[Griffin] Harper?
Hey, I-- I tried reaching you--
Your dad's still gone.
He didn't die in a car accident.
My mother just told me.
After it happened, I blocked it out.
Came up with the car accident.
But what actually happened…
was he drowned.
The same day but later.
So even if I wanted to go back,
it's too late.
I'm sorry.
Griffin, I started to think about it.
-All you've said.
-No, no. I-- I shouldn't have.
I should have kept my mouth shut.
But you were right.
We can't change things.
And we shouldn't try to, ever again.
The truth is,
my father died so I could live.
He died saving me.
That's what was supposed to happen.
Maybe we should close it up.
Yeah.
[whooshing]
It's cold.
Do you feel that?
Where did those come from?
Oh, the rocking chair upstairs.
It was rocking by itself,
and then whatever was rocking in it
came down here.
Wet footprints.
My father died in a lake.
-[objects clattering]
-[Griffin] Whoa! Hey! [shrieks]
Hey, guys.
-Miss me?
-[Griffin] Savannah!
You said you were never coming
through the portal,
that you've found your family.
I know. I know.
But then I found this.
Looks like
you're not done time traveling either.
My folks had me clearing out
this storage room.
It was sealed in an envelope
in a crack in the wall,
I'm guessing, by you.
[Griffin] W-Wait, back up.
What are you not understanding?
It's like what we did with the coffee can.
You did the same thing.
Went back to 1930, put on those clothes,
got your picture taken
and then left it for us to find.
But why?
Why would I go back to 1930?
Maybe because The Tremont
is in your family.
It has to be connected somehow.
Well, there's only one way to find out.
I mean, unless you have
somewhere else to go.
As long as we're home before dinner.
We'll pick up clothes on the other side
so we don't stick out.
This is really cool.
Yeah. Finally, an adventure
that doesn't involve saving you.
So that's how you do it.
How did you ever figure that out?
It was really weird.
We're still not exactly sure how it works.
We might've gotten help
from the other side.
So a ghost that's not me.
-Who do you think it is?
-It could be anyone.
I followed those wet footprints
down to the basement.
It's like it was reaching out,
like it was pointing the way.
This is really spooky.
But, like, good kind of spooky.
-All set. 1930.
-[radio whirring]
[electricity crackling]
[Harper] Let's go.
[radio humming]
Wow!
[Griffin] Savannah, wait!
[whooshing]
Ow!
[birds chirping]
There's no rust.
Welcome to 1930, guys.
[Savannah sighs]
-So cool.
-Epic.
[both chuckle]
[horse neighs]
[rooster crows]
Remember, guys,
we're just here to check it out.
Stay together and out of sight.
-[birds chirping]
-[goat bleats]
You guys see anything?
[Savannah sighs] Nothing.
It's too dark.
Maybe the door's unlocked.
-Well, shouldn't we knock first?
-Not dressed like this.
[whispering] Whoa!
Where's the lobby?
Guess it was added later,
when they turned this place into a hotel.
[jazz playing in distance]
[Savannah] Where's that music coming from?
Let's go.
[jazz continues]
[jazz grows louder]
That's the radio from the bunker.
[radio: jazz continues]
Well…
What do we do now?
[creaking overhead]
[footsteps]
Upstairs.
[door creaking]
[creaks]
-[Harper] Go, go, go, go!
-[Savannah] Hurry up!
[Griffin] Go!
-[Harper gasps]
-[gasps]
