ALL: Welcome to The Tremont!
HARPER: Previously on
Secrets of Sulfur Springs
The Tremont now represents a rebirth
for the next generation
of the Tremont family
and for our dear friends,
the Campbells, as well.
-(creaking)
-BEN: We mean it when we say this place
isn't haunted by Savannah.
-We know. The mirror told us.
-Harper?
SARAH: It feels like there is
something in this place.
Hello?
And it wants us out.
(screaming)
(gasping)
-I saw you
-GRIFFIN: Please! Don't leave me!
HARPER: Trapped in a fire.
There must be a reason Savannah warned us
-not to go into the future.
-(bulb shatters)
Where's Griffin? 2024?
That's where Sam is.
You think Griffin went
to warn about the crystal
and bring Sam back?
No! My My family could be in there!
Let go!
They aren't coming back.

What is this place?
It's like a time capsule in here.
Gas masks, rations,
hazmat suits.
Must have been built during the Cold War.
-(heavy breathing)
-(water dripping, lights buzzing)
Mr. Campbell? What is it?
This place wasn't in
any of the old blueprints
I pulled for the renovations.
How'd you know it was here?
I was moving some boxes
around in the basement
and found the door by accident.
It's crazy to think a bunker
was sitting beneath
the hotel all this time.
It makes you wonder what
else is hidden down here.
(heavy breathing)
♪♪
(soft laugh)
It's kinda cool to see
what life was like back then.
(winding)
-(toy whirring)
-Wait.
This radio.
It was upstairs in the room I found
behind the parlor wall.
The same room Griffin
cleaned out a few weeks ago.
Of course, he'd know about this place.
So, where is he?
The last time I saw Griffin,
he was up in the lobby.
Hey, did you ever figure out
what all that water was from?
(sighs) I came down for a wrench
and saw the tunnel.
I forgot all about
turning off the water main.
What if the hotel floods?
The opening would be ruined.
My mom must be freaking out.
We better get upstairs to help.
No, your mom would really freak
if she heard you've been hanging out
in an abandoned bunker.
Tell Griffin. No more exploring.
No problem.
I'll go meet up with Griffin right now
and make sure he doesn't
hatch any crazy plans.

GRIFFIN: This can't be the future.
-(clattering)
-How are you so calm?
This place means everything
to your family.
SAM: This hasn't been my home
in a very long time.
GRIFFIN: It's still mine,
and I'm not letting everything
my family's worked for
just burn to the ground.
There's gotta be a hose
around here somewhere.
-There was something up in 205.
-(fire crackling)
A presence.
And it did things.
Now, I know it sounds crazy,
-but you have to trust me.
-(wood collapsing)
Look, I've been in the future
long enough to learn
-what happens when evil goes unchecked.
-(siren blaring)
The damage that's done.
The people that have been hurt.
You said the hotel's
been empty for a while?
That's right.
So, what happened to my family?
I mean, where are they?
-Come on, I'll show.

(quiet chatter)
Well, it wouldn't be a party
without something spilling.
Granted, my money was on the punch bowl,
which is in the parlor. Right this way.
Oh, uh, watch your step.
One of my partners,
Sarah, has gone up to see what's going on.
It felt like the hat was
being ripped out of my hand.
You're lucky that's all that happened.
He's right. The way
that door was bulging out?
No way that was from a busted pipe.
Uh, two words: Paranormal. Activity.
Savannah's ghost must have gone upstairs
after we saw her earlier.
What if the ghost isn't Savannah?
She's never been mean before.
Now, she's trying to wreck the opening?
Doesn't make sense.
Savannah could be trying
to get our attention.
-To warn us.
-About what?
Maybe there are other ghosts around here.
Ones who aren't so nice.

Please tell me you got
the water turned off.
And called the plumber. Crisis averted.

-Is that Mom?
♪♪
Should have called a priest instead.
(high-pitched ringing)
-Sarah? Can you hear me?
-(ringing fades out)
-Ben?
-BEN: Easy, easy.
What happened?
We heard you scream
all the way downstairs.
SARAH: I I did?
Last person I heard scream
like that was in a movie,
and she was being chased by zombie rats.
What? It was terrifying.
WYATT: Wait, what happened to the ooze?
JESS: Okay, okay. That's it.
No more talk about ooze
or zombie rats.
SARAH: But I saw it It disappeared.
TOPHER: We can't just pretend like
nothing crazy happened up here.
Look, we have been over this, Toph.
It was a problem with the plumbing.
But if you wanna keep
going on about ghosts,
we can certainly pretend you're
still getting an allowance.
I'm cool with the busted pipe.
Come on, guys.
(sighs)
Look, we have a hotel full
of people waiting downstairs,
including a reporter,
who are all probably wondering
what the commotion was about.
Then, we better get downstairs
and get back to the party.
You passed out, Sarah.
I was running around
all day and forgot to eat.
BEN: Come on.
Let's get you some food.
-If Topher's right
-I usually am.
and Savannah's trying to warn
us there's something evil here,
-another ghost capable of bending doors
-(wind blowing)
flooding the place with water and gunk,
then making it disappear?
This isn't just mischief.
-We could all be in danger.

(wind gusting)
Harper!
-Harper!
-HARPER: Over here.
(birds chirping)
That was way too close.
I thought for sure
Ben was going to find me.
I'm glad you understood my
message and got outta there.
(chuckles) Won't let Griffin
hatch any more plans?
-(laughs)
-SAVANNAH: Come on. You don't have to be
-Peter Gunn to crack that.
-Who?
Oh, he's just this super-smart detective
from this show my mom likes to watch.
She's gonna be so worried
when I don't come home.
Hey. Hey.
We're gonna figure this out.
We have to.
You just need to find somewhere
else to hide in the meantime.
Wait, where are you going?
To find another crystal.
SAM: Are you sure you wanna
see more of the future?
Whose house is this?
Take a look. Just don't
let anyone else see.
-(squeaking)
-(birds chirping)
Dang it, Zoey! I told you to
stop with the stupid swing!
I'm trying to concentrate!
(swinging stops)
It's been a while.
We should go visit.
What's the point?
It doesn't change anything.
Maybe it will,
and things can go back
to the way they were.
Wake up, Zoey.
He's never coming back.
♪♪
Come on.
Who are they talking about? My dad!
-Where is he?
-Did you miss the part
about staying out of sight?
-Now, come on.
-Just tell me what happened, Sam.
You know the evil I talked about in 205?
It seeped out of the room
and to the rest of the hotel.
And it changed everyone inside.
The twins, your parents
And me?
I changed, too?
How?
That's something you need
to see for yourself.
♪♪
HARPER: Griffin can't stay in the future.
We have to bring him home.
Once we find another crystal,
we should be able to use it
to power up the radio.
Sam said something about water and energy?
Sam spent years searching for the crystal.
So did Grace.
We don't have that kind of time.
No kidding. As soon as it gets dark,
my mom will be looking for me.
Griffin's parents will only be distracted
by the party for so long.
You know those visions I told you about.
Griffin in a fire?
What if
What if we're too late?
What if something already happened
to Griffin in the future?
We have to believe it'll all work out.
You'll get your best friend back and
He's more than that.
I (sighs)
Maybe.
-I don't know.
-SAVANNAH: Uh, wait!
-What did I miss?
-(Harper sighs)
So um
The night we freed Grace,
Griffin and I,
we sort of
almost kissed.
You did? Took you long enough!
-What do you mean?
-Come on, Harper.
It's so obvious you and Griffin
are destined to be together.
I knew it all along.
He's your seahorse.
(laughs) My seahorse?
-That doesn't even make sense.
-SAVANNAH: Sure it does.
Once seahorses find each other,
they stay together for life.
An unbreakable bond.
I can't wait to have a connection
like that with somebody.
We'll see each other
across a crowded room.
He'll flash a smile my way, and bam!
-Fireworks.
-HARPER: Mm.
Sounds like Topher isn't the only one
who's seen too many movies.
Okay, so maybe it won't happen
exactly like that,
but when it does,
I'll know. Because
destiny, like you and Griffin.
I hope you're right.
But I can't get past
this horrible feeling.
What if I never see him again?
♪♪
GRIFFIN: Is that my dad?
BEN: Hey, Griff, come over here.
I could use a hand on this transmission.
GRIFFIN: I'm clockin' out.
Be back in 15 minutes.
I'm not going on break, Dad.
Dance is tonight.
Griff, get back here!
You know, I thought you'd understand.
I don't think you understand
how many favors I had to call in
to make this job happen.
You can't just bail
in the middle of a shift.
Just tell the boss I went
home sick or something.
(car door opens, shuts)
(keys jingle)
-(Griffin sighs)
-I'm serious, Griff.
There aren't many people left around here
willing to give you another chance.
I'm going to the dance, Dad!
Look, I'm sorry,
but I need to make things right.
You can't fix this!
♪♪
We've tried. All of us.
I'm gonna keep trying
for as long as it takes.
(seat belt clicks)
(starts engine)
(sighs)
None of this makes any sense.
Wyatt and Zoey can't stand each other,
I'm working here? And what about school?
What did my dad mean? What can't be fixed?
Harper.
Harper would still be the same.
She has to be.
♪♪
SAVANNAH: I wish Sam were here.
Then we wouldn't need
to find another crystal.
He could just find a way
to fix the other one.
Like gluing it back together,
but something more sciencey.
-Sciencey?
-It's a word.
-You think glue would work?
-Well,
it's pretty much our
only option at the moment.
Without a crystal, you're stuck here.
And Griffin's trapped in
2024 with no way to know
we haven't given up on him.
Of course, he'll know. Seahorse, remember?
We need to find you a place to stay.
-I'll be fine out here.
-(birds chirping)
-Hello? Junior counselor.
-Camp is gone.
So is the treehouse.
You can't sleep out in
the woods with no shelter.
Well, do you have a better idea?
Griffin's room is empty.
I thought the point was to lay low.
It's not like I can
just walk up the stairs.
♪♪
How are you at climbing trees?
(soft music playing)
Okay. We should be safe out here.
We watched Grace go
right through that wall.
I'm pretty sure if a ghost
wants to find us, it will.
I'm more concerned about my mom.
If she hears us talking ghost,
it'll be good-bye allowance.
We're wasting time. Are you in or out?
This is my area of expertise, remember?
Anyone with Wi- Fi and a web browser
could become an expert.
Except Mom and Dad blocked
all the good ghost sites.
Ah, sounds like you could use
my unique set of skills after all.
I just need to hear you say it.
Any time.
-Still waiting.
-WYATT: Just say it, Zoey.
How else are we gonna
figure out who this ghost is
or what it wants?
Why don't we just ask her?
♪♪
Come on.
Uh, wait.
Maybe we should have a
plan before we talk to her.
He has a point.
♪♪
What if Savannah's actually an evil ghost
and the ooze was just the beginning?
Enough with the ooze, Wyatt.
Great. We missed our chance.
Now, we have more time
to come up with that plan.
I already have one,
and it starts in room 205.

DOUG: Hey, Harper.
-You look amazing.
-Thanks.
DOUG: Campbell must be kicking himself
for missing out tonight.
I wouldn't know.
Griffin's outta my life. For good.
Out of her life?
I know. It's a lot to take.
No, you don't understand, Sam.
What Harper and I have, it's special.
We wouldn't let anything come between us.
The relationship changed,
like everything else.
GRIFFIN: Not him.
I I mean, me. Future me.
I still care about Harper.
That much hasn't changed.
The dance is for students only.
I just need a few minutes
to talk to someone inside.
WOMAN: You were expelled
from school, Griffin.
I cannot allow you back on campus.
Look, it's important!
(sighs) You are in enough trouble, son.
Don't make it any worse for yourself.
Wha He's just gonna leave.
He can't. What about Harper?
-I have to go see her.
-SAM: Whoa, whoa!
The two of you interacting?
That can't happen.
-Will it shift the timeline or something?
-SAM: I don't know,
and that's the point.
We can't risk you getting stuck here.
♪♪
I have to find out
what happened between us.
-Why Harper hates me
-SAM: Are you even listening?
We gotta get outta here. Now.
Look, I understand wanting
to make things right,
but you going in there,
that's not only foolish.
It's dangerous. You wanna go back home,

Mitch is having an after-party.
I told him you'd be there.
-Doubtful.
-Come on, Harper. You never go out.

So is your boyfriend.
He's looking for you, by the way.
She doesn't have a boyfriend, Bailey.
Griffin?
Griffin's here?
You're sure?
Oh, I just saw him down the hall.
Of course, he tried to ruin
homecoming for me, too.

Guess I won't be asking you
to write a review.
-What?
-JESS: The food?
Is it that bad?
Oh.
I'm sure it's delicious. I'm just
I'm not very hungry.
Thinking about what happened upstairs?
I still can't get over seeing
that door bulge out.
Didn't seem real.
It
feels like my my eyes
are playing tricks on me.
Oh, it was real. A real-life nightmare.
Oh, could you imagine if Ben
hadn't gotten that water turned off?
The way that door would have given out,
sending a wave of who knows what
all over the place.
Talk about bad reviews. (sighs)
Of all the nights for a pipe to burst.
Right. Pipe.
-Found the problem.
-(door shuts)
-It was in the pipe.
-Oh, thank goodness.

for you to leave me alone?
-Harper. I-I, uh, I

blocked you on all my accounts,
but for some reason,
you still haven't gotten the message.
So, let me lay it out for you.
We are done, Griffin.
I don't want you in my life.
Why? Like, what did I do
that was so awful?

It's really that easy for you, isn't it?
