GRIFFIN: Previously on
Secrets of Sulphur Springs
ENTITY: What you did
Did you hear that? That, that voice?
It's real then.
The future is coming true
and it's ahead of schedule.
Glad Topher's gonna be okay at least.
It's better me than him, right?
HARPER: I don't wanna see any future
that doesn't have you in it.
SAVANNAH: Your parents are
planning on closing
the hotel, today.
Please, Ruby.
The ghost is after our brother,
and we need your help.
Sorry, I can't help you.
GRIFFIN: I don't think you were
the one who hurt the judge.
Of course, I didn't.
It was the judge's own wife.
-Mrs. Walker.
-Mom?
(tense music playing)
(indistinct chatter)
RUBY: Did you just call her Mom?
Mrs. Walker doesn't have any kids.
Oh right.
I No. I just meant there
was a resemblance.
-Slight resemblance.
-Definitely not Griffin's mom, though.
Mm-mm.
Now that we've got that cleared up,
does anybody wanna explain
what just happened in the barn?
Oh right. Well, that was
He said it was a ghost.
Yes, and I'm sure you have questions.
You bet I have questions!
As if Mama and I don't have
enough to worry about,
now you're telling me that there
are actual, real-live ghosts?
-Well, not live, technically.
-It's a lot to process, I know.
SAVANNAH: But we're getting it
taken care of.
-Right, Griffin?
-Ow. What?
Yeah, definitely.
Which means I, I should
probably head inside, and, um
see what's going on.
I'll, I'll be right back.
(Harper sighs)
Don't worry. Everything will be fine.
We promise.
How can you possibly know that?
-WYATT: Well, that was a bust.
-I don't get it.
All of Madame Levereaux's
reviews were five out of five screams.
Well, she didn't wanna help us.
It was weird.
Did you see the way she reacted
to Mom's hair comb thing?
Yeah. Like like she'd seen it before.
Really? I thought she was just
tapping into her
"seventh sense."
For recognizing hair accessories?
No.
This felt different.
Like she was remembering
something or someone.

(intense theme music playing)
(tense music playing)
RUBY: Mama I know you said
never to go back to that place
but now
it don't seem like I have a choice.
♪♪
I know everything looks bleak right now,
-and yes, there's a
-Ghost.
But it's not going to hurt you.
We won't let it.
Ruby, I know it's hard to believe,
but someday, years from now,
you'll look back on this
What are you telling my daughter?
RUBY: Mama, you won't believe it.
We were just in the barn
and the spookiest thing happens.
Listen to me.
I don't know what kinda nonsense
those kids have been telling you,
but put it out your mind, okay?
-Yes, but you don't understand.
-Everything's gonna be fine.
Now go get in the truck.
We're leavin' town.
RUBY: Leaving? You mean forever?
Where will we go? What about my things?
We'll get you new things
when we get there. Now go.
It's not safe here anymore.
Sulphur Springs is our home.
I love it here.
I know, baby. Me, too.
It just didn't love us back.
♪♪
I thought I asked you kids not
to tell Ruby about time travel.
And we didn't, really.
Well
she did tell us what happened
last night in Room 205.
♪♪
HARPER: I'm sorry, Daisy.
I can only imagine how
horrible that must've been.
Worst night ever
for both of us.
Ruby knew better than to go in that room.
But it wasn't her fault.
She's just lucky Mrs. Walker
was there to grab the vase and
DAISY: No, no, no.
That's the strangest part.
She didn't grab it.
I think someone handed it to her.
Who? Someone else in the room?
No not exactly.
Look, I know it sounds crazy
It's okay. You can tell us.
Mrs. Walker said it just
appeared in her hand
like someone put it there.
I think it was my mama.
Grace's ghost?
DAISY: Her grandbaby was in trouble.
Still could be if we don't leave now.
Now it's time for you all to leave, too.
Where's Griffin?
♪♪
SHERIFF: Mm-hm. Yeah.
No, Judge's car is still in the driveway.
Yeah, wife didn't seem
to know anything either.
Well, he fooled me, too.
I guess he skipped town
with all that money.
(chuckles) Yeah. Yeah, well, Judge Walker
must be halfway to Cuba by now.
All right, well, uh,
if I find anything else out,
I'll let you know.
Okay.
(phone hangs up)
(exhales)
(door creaking)
♪♪
Lookin' for somethin'?
Oh, um. Sorry, it's
You, you caught me off-guard.
Caught you off-guard?
This is my room. Who are you?
Me?
I'm, I'm just, um
Mr. Campbell has, obviously, found himself
in the wrong place again.
GRIFFIN: Right.
Sorry, um it's just, you know,
all the doors look alike
so they, they should really
do something about that.
I believe your parents are
downstairs looking for you.
Okay. It's good to know. Thanks.
Sorry for the mix-up.
That boy was snoopin'.
That boy is the least of your worries.
There's not much time. Here.
MRS. WALKER: Chicago.
Train leaves in an hour.
And unless you want trouble,
I think you'd best be on it.
♪♪
(sighs)
What if we saged the whole place?
-There's not enough sage in the world.
-(door opens)
JESS: Where have you guys been?
Oh, just skipping rocks in the springs.
Uh, perfect day for it, actually.
Is everything okay?
It's nothing.
Uh, no. No. Why keep another secret?
We're thinking about selling the hotel.
What? No!
Because of the ghosts?
Uh, we're just
out of options, that's all.
You know, there are certified
paranormal experts who can
N-Never mind.
Where are Griffin and Harper?
We need to tell them this, too.
Uh they were down
by the springs a while ago.
Well, go get 'em, will ya?
But
for what it's worth
ghosts and all
I'm glad we moved here.
(door closes)
Ugh, poor kids.
I mean, I love this place, too,
but we have no choice.
There's gotta be someone who will buy it,
even with the ghost rumors.
I mean, you guys did.
Yeah, but now we know
they're not just rumors.
(Jess sighs)
Skipping rocks? Seriously?
I didn't hear you
jumping in with anything.
It was better than the truth.
"Hey, Mom and Dad, we snuck off
and saw a spirit whisperer
in the swamp this morning."
"Yeah, bad news is,
Old Lady Ruby wouldn't help us."
Ben, do you have that realtor's number?
It's not in my phone.
I can check, but I didn't love him.
Ah, well, he did sell you a haunted hotel.
Well, I think I saw his card
in the office. Let's go check.
(knocks on door)
Uh, sorry. We're not taking
any new guests right now.
Oh, I'm not here to book a room.
I'm here to help.
♪♪
♪♪
I can't believe how much
Mrs. Walker looks like your mom.
Freaky, right? Sounds just like her, too.
Like twins.
(scoffs) Twins who
were born 60 years apart.
They've gotta be related, right?
I mean, remember how much
I looked like Daisy?
I don't see how.
Last year, we made these
family trees in history class.
Literally, everyone from my
mom's side is from Chicago.
So, no one from Louisiana?
Not even close.
Unless
What?
Well, unless my mom's
been hiding something.
M-Maybe she does have some
family connection to this place.
But why would she ever hide that from you?
(scoffs) I don't know
but I'm gonna find out.
I can't believe they're selling the hotel.
What do we do now?
I don't know. Guess we should actually
-Psst.
-(Topher yells)
It's okay. Just me. Still not a ghost.
Still not okay to sneak up on people.
What are you doing here?
I came with Griffin and Harper.
-They're here?
-SAVANNAH: Yeah.
We just got back from 1947.
And
we found out what happened to the judge.
-No way!
-What was it?
Well
uh
Uh, Earth to Savannah?
Maybe we should talk to Sam.
♪♪
The Tremont Hotel.
My, my
a whole lotta history in this place.
JESS: We were hoping to make more.
Not to rush you, but is this
going to take long?
If you weren't trying to rush
me, you wouldn't ask.
This'll be the right room.
I can sense it.
The right room for what, exactly?
Contactin' the spirit.
Convincin' it to leave.
That is what you want, right?
Of course. We'll do whatever it takes.
I can tell.
What's your name again, dear?
Oh, uh,
Sarah Campbell.
RUBY: Sarah Campbell.
I'll bet that ghost
has taken a real shine to you.
GRIFFIN: Hey.
Oh, well, look who's here. Harper.
Griffin, we've been looking for you guys.
Um, sorry but we were just
Are we interrupting something?
Oh, hello.
I'm Ruby.
Ruby?
So, then Daisy and Mrs. Walker
took the judge to this barn,
and, well, I guess he's
still in here somewhere.
Wait
you mean he's buried in here?
Chill, Wyatt. He's probably
just a bunch of bones by now.
Really not helping, Zoey.
I can't believe it.
This explains so much.
What do you mean?
When Daisy moved up north,
she never told me why.
It turns out she was
protecting her daughter,
-Ruby.
-Ruby?
We just met someone with that name
at this old house down by the swamp.
By the swamp?
Little place out by Route 9?
Hoo, heck of a long bike ride.
I mean, th-that's our old home.
Daisy and I moved there with our father
after the judge stole our land. I c
-I can't beli
-SAVANNAH: Sam
are you okay?
Yeah. (chuckles) Yeah, I'm fine.
I'm fine. I-I just, I just can't believe
she's back there after all these years.
Ruby is here to help
us get rid of the, uh
Ghost.
Oh.
-WYATT: Hey, what's going on?
-Okay.
Madame Levereaux?
-Ahh, you three again.
-Again?
RUBY: They paid me a little
visit earlier today.
Quite concerned about your situation here.
Uh, I thought you kids
said you were skipping rocks.
WYATT: We were
-among other things.
-It-It was a very busy morning.
Anything we can do to help?
RUBY: Actually, there is.
Don't worry, dear
your mother will take
very good care of this.
♪♪
And now I need all young
people to leave.
-Leave? Why?
-RUBY: It's not safe.
We're dealin' with a very volatile spirit.
Trust me. I know. Okay, we all know.
But there's too much at stake here.
Griffin.
Can't you just make an exception?
I'm afraid this is non-negotiable.
If you'd like me to continue
all children must vacate
The Tremont 'til morning.
Go.
♪♪
GRIFFIN: Hey.
I just wanted to say goodbye
before we head over to the Dunns'.
Unless, of course,
you've changed your mind.
Sorry, Griffin, but your father
and I agreed it's for the best.
Fine. (chuckles) I get it.
Uh, that Ruby lady seemed, uh,
pretty interested in your hair thing.
It must be really old, huh?
Seventy-five years at least.
It was my grandmother's,
on my mother's side.
Grandmother, huh?
You never really talk about her.
She's from Chicago, right?
Born and raised?
Actually, no.
I mean she lived there forever, but
What?
Well, I'm a bit fuzzy with the details,
but I-I do remember hearing
she lived somewhere else
when she was younger.
Oh no kidding.
Any idea where?
Mm-mm. She never said.
Grammy always used
to tell us her life started
the day she moved to Chicago.
Hm.
♪♪
(scoffs) So, if my mom's grandmother
spent the first part of her life
someplace other than Chicago,
but didn't talk about it, then
Then, maybe, when you saw
Mrs. Walker packing her suitcase,
that was your great-grandmother,
the judge's wife,
running away to Chicago.
Wow. No wonder he hates your mom.
He knows she's related
to the person who killed him.
Probably doesn't help
that she looks just like her.
HARPER: There's gotta be a way
to get the judge's ghost out
now that we know his issue
isn't really with your mom.
Yeah, if only our parents
would let us be a part of
you know, whatever it
is that they're doing.
I mean, it's crazy.
I'm the one in danger here.
Instead of helping,
and now we're all stuck
spending the night at Topher's.
What's so bad about that?
I've had some legendary sleepovers.
WYATT: You mean like the one where you put
the fake mouse in my sleeping bag?
It was a fake rat.
And please, we were children then.
Come on, we better get going.
WYATT: Wait, Sam, too?
Oh, no, no. You kids go ahead.
I've still got some
work to do on the radio.
What kind of work?
SAM: It's pretty exciting, actually.
See, I'm this close
to fine-tuning the dials on the unit,
so a user can travel back
to a specific point in time.
-How specific? Like, an actual date?
-SAM: Yeah.
It's been something I've been
workin' on for years, and
and after everything that's been
happening now, I just, uh
I feel like, like you
kids are gonna need it.
♪♪
It's time.
(person screaming in movie)
-This stinks.
-What?
Grim Reaper 7 is a classic.
I meant it stinks we have to be here.
Movie's not so great, either.
No kidding.
That grim reaper looks like
he's wearing a bathrobe.
Okay, one extra-large cheese pizza.
WYATT: Ugh, finally. I'm starving.
And you're welcome.
-You guys gonna eat?
-ZOEY: Napkins, guys.
-Maybe later.
-ZOEY: What is he doing?
Uh, yeah, I'm,
I'm not really hungry right now.
I just keep wondering about what's
what's going on at The Tremont.
Yeah same.
I just wish our parents would let us
♪♪
Get back! Get back! Leave me alone!
-(gasps)
-(heavy breathing)
Harper? Are you okay?
Yeah, you're really freakin' me out.
She had another vision.
What kind of vision?
HARPER: It was horrible.
Griffin
-it was your mother.
-Mom?
W-Was it like before?
I mean, was she a ghost?
No. It was real. She was at The Tremont.
And she's in trouble.
♪♪
RUBY: No matter what happens
you have to promise to stay silent.
Let me handle everything.
BEN: Yeah, I don't think
that's gonna be a problem.
My grandmother's comb.
Why did you need it?
That ghost has been targeting your family.
He's angry about the ownership
of the hotel.
Uh, well, actually, uh, the Tremonts
were my husband's family.
I'm afraid it's more
complicated than that.
Now don't ask me how I know this
but your grandmother
ended this ghost's life
upstairs in Room 205.
What?
No, that's ridiculous.
My grammy was a sweet,
little woman who baked cookies,
and grew tomatoes in her window.
I realize this is upsetting.
Lucky for you
that ghost'll be turnin'
its attention to me.
You've been after this
family for far too long
because of their connection to your wife.
You've caused pain to many.
Now is the time to show yourself.
We are not afraid.
Show yourself!
(strong wind blowing)
(gasps)
You've caused enough suffering.
Your days at The Tremont are over.
ENTITY: Over?
I'm just getting started.
(clock chimes)
(ominous music playing)
Come on, guys, hurry up. Faster!
C'mon, Topher, speed it up!
Speed it up? Do you see what
I'm riding here?
♪♪
Here I am right in front of you.
The reason for all your pain!
(eerie noises)
No. Get, get back.
-Get back!
-Sarah!
-Ah!
-(items shattering)
Stay away!
Leave me alone!
JESS: Are you okay?
(panicked breathing)
(intense music playing)
Sarah!
-(vase shatters)
-Ah! Oh! (groaning)
Sarah?
Sarah, are you okay?
Something's wrong. She can't hear me.
Sarah?
Sarah?!
HARPER: Next time on
Secrets of Sulphur Springs
-SAM: No, no!
-(door slams)
Not the children!
-TOPHER: What is that sound?
-It'll stop.
Hey, just stay close.
Everyone move in together.
-(all yelling)
-SAVANNAH: We're trapped.
He's a coward. You hear me?
You're a coward!
ENTITY: Anyone out there
care for a beignet?
