HARPER: Previously on
Secrets of Sulphur Springs
There's not much time. Here.
HARPER: Maybe when you saw Mrs. Walker
packing her suitcase,
that was your great-grandmother,
the judge's wife, running away to Chicago.
We're dealin' with a very volatile spirit.
All children must vacate
The Tremont 'til morning.
GRIFFIN: 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.
Show yourself!
(rumbling)
-(Sarah gasps)
-BEN: Sarah?!
SARAH: Ah! Oh!
♪♪
Hold on, Sarah. It's gonna be okay.
(indistinct chatter)
(tense music playing)
(siren wailing)
If this is like my vision, then
My mom's in that ambulance.
♪♪
♪♪
(stairs creaking)
(door opens)
Sam, where is everyone?
Tell us what happened!
Who was in that ambulance?
Okay, y-y-your mom, but-but she's okay.
She just fainted.
Your father and Jess are with her.
There was, um there was an encounter.
-GRIFFIN: What?
-But, look, we have no time for this.
All right? It's not safe here.
I'm getting you out. Come on.
-Let's go, let's go, let's go.
-(door slams)
KIDS: Ah!
♪♪
All right, the bellman's door! Come on!
Ah, it's locked!
Patio.
(slams)
SAVANNAH: We're trapped.
(glass crunching)
WYATT: Oh, man.
-What's this?
-ZOEY: And this?
Mom's hair comb.
More of the ghost's doing.
(rumbling)
♪♪
(shaking, rattling)
(slams)
♪♪
(lamp shatters)
ENTITY (distorted): I figured
you would run like the rest of them.
Take me.
Do what you have to
but leave the others alone.
ENTITY: The others?
Ah the children.
Oh, I have them downstairs,
guilty as charged.
Their sentence?
The same one I got.
(intense theme music playing)
(sirens)
(indistinct chatter)
(tense music playing)
They still don't know what's goin' on.
Her vitals look strong,
but she's still unconscious.
They're sending her up for tests.
I didn't say anything about the ghost.
They'd never believe it.
All I said was she had a fall.
They'll figure this out.
She's gonna be okay.
Least the kids are safe.
TOPHER: In every horror movie,
when someone goes down
into a basement, they never come back.
And before someone says
this isn't a movie,
I know it's not, it's worse.
SAM: Okay, we'll use the tunnel
and the bunker.
I'm thinkin' the portal is
our last chance to get out.
So, we're just gonna leave Ruby up there?
You know she doesn't stand a chance.
SAM: None of us do
if we stay in this hotel.
But like I said
this is my unfinished business,
to protect you kids.
I'll go get her as soon
as you guys are safe.
Savannah, go!
♪♪
Wait, wait, wait, wait.
I'll go first.
Okay, come on. It's safe.
-No, no!
-(slams)
Sam!
(Griffin grunting)
-It won't budge.
-(groans) All right.
All right, forget it. It's useless. Uh
I need you, I need all of you
to go back to the basement
and wait for me.
Do you understand?
-Sure, but
-Down that tunnel and past the door
before it locks, too.
-Go!
-You heard him, let's go!
♪♪
You actually think by getting rid of me,
of us, you will find peace?
That hurting us will somehow save you?
ENTITY: Now you know what I went through,
locked up in that barn by Grace.
You stole her family's land!
My family's land!
ENTITY: And my wife robbed me of my life
while you and your mother
helped her get away with it!
There'll be no peace
for you, Judge Walker.
You've already been sentenced
to an eternity of darkness.
Well, at least now,
I won't have to suffer alone.
Lord, please
not the children.
-(rumbling)
-What is that sound?!
It'll stop. Eh, just stay close.
Everyone, move in together.
HARPER: Cover your ears. Close your eyes.
(objects shattering)
I can't take this! What's your problem?!
Stop it! Just stop!
Sam should be here by now.
What if the ghost has him, and Ruby, too?
There's nothing we can do. We promised.
And we need to protect Griffin.
Then you guys stay here.
-I'm going.
-What?
(grunting)
(sraining)
♪♪
There's nothing you can do.
We have to get out!
The doors are still locked, all of 'em.
He's a coward. You hear me?
You're a coward!
All this noise and shaking,
we're not scared!
-(silence)
-It's over.
I mean is it over?
Let's find out.
♪♪
Ruby?
Sam?
-Are you okay?!
-(Ruby groans)
I'll be fine. (groaning)
But the judge is still here
all around.
What does he want?
-Is it Griffin?
-(Ruby scoffs)
-Is it all of us?
-(Ruby scoffs)
Everyone Campbell, everyone Tremont.
You shouldn't have come up here!
-You need to get out!
-We can't.
-He's locked all the doors.
-Then break a window!
-Find a way!
-Not without you!
No! Go!
I'll be right behind! Go, go, go! Go!
(heavy breathing)
-(slams)
-HARPER: Ruby!
Ruby!
HARPER: Hurry!
This chair'll work.
Help me move this.
(Griffin grunting)
-(eerie noise)
-Lift. Come on.
Okay
so what is that?
♪♪
People look!
ENTITY: Anyone out there
care for a beignet?
♪♪
-(Harper gasps)
-What was that?
-You okay?
-It was the judge, wasn't it?
Reaching out for you
with his bony ghost fingers.
-Ghost fingers?
-It was just my phone.
No ghost fingers.
Yet.
(eerie noise)
(rattling)
No way.
♪♪
ENTITY: Evenin'.
Y'all come on in. No need to be shy.
Why are you doing this?
It's called hospitality, son.
Seems things have slipped in the years
since my poor, misguided wife
interfered in my affairs.
Wake up.
-Please, wake up.
-(laughing)
Griffin.
Just stay there. It's okay.
Oh, on the contrary.
Someone must pay for that betrayal,
and if not my dear Winnie
then her family will
make a fine substitute.
♪♪
(Hospital PA indistinct chatter)
I've gone over her tests.
And there is no indication
that your wife's condition
is due to physical trauma.
What are you saying?
That it's all in her head?
It's not. We saw
-(machines beeping)
-Sarah?
-I'm right here. Open your eyes.
-It's okay, it's okay,
-it's okay.
-She's tachy.
-Should I page cardio?
-DOCTOR: No sign of A-fib.
W-What does that mean? What's happening?
Most likely a panic attack.
The body can trigger an acute
stress response to a traumatic event.
Any idea what that might be?
That depends. Do you believe in ghosts?
♪♪
(ceiling creaks)
(chains rattling)
(hatch opening)
♪♪
There must be some mistake.
We've never even met
our great-grandmother.
We could see how you'd
be confused, though.
-Zoey was wearing her hair comb earlier.
-Wyatt!
TOPHER: Yeah, for all they know,
this Winnie person
could be as awful as you say.
Winnie was a hero.
She saved Ruby's life that night.
By ending mine
and helping herself to all that I built!
That money didn't belong to you
any more than this place did.
You lied to the Tremonts,
stole their home and their land
That mouth is about to get you
in a mess of trouble, missy.
And there won't be a soul in the world
who can help you out of it.
That's where you're wrong.
You have no clue what
you're up against, boy.
Sure I do, a ticking clock.
I've been to the future
and I know how things play out.
The way I see it,
I've got nothing to lose.
Griffin, no.
(Harper gasps)
Harper? What's wrong?
ENTITY: Nothin' to lose, you say? What?
Oh, it seems your friend is havin' (gasps)
trouble catchin' her breath.
(gasping)
♪♪
(door creaking)
♪♪
(Harper gasping)
Focus on me, Harper.
I'll breathe with you.
(chuckles) Are you supposed
to be the calvary?
I won't let you hurt these kids.
We've been down that road before.
As I recall, that didn't
go well for you last time.
We both know there's not
much fight left in you.
Sam is one of the strongest
people I've ever met.
He's never stopped fighting
to save his mother.
That's love. That's real love.
You don't even know
the meaning of the word.
Oh, and you do?
When you love someone
their happiness is all that matters.
Seeing them smile,
and, and making them laugh.
Everything is just
-(deep breathing)
-better when they're around.
You are better.
That's how Winnie must've felt
when she met my great-grandfather.
She finally found a lasting love,
someone who cared more
about her than money.
(entity groaning)
It's working!
GRIFFIN: You want The Tremont
to be your legacy?
Well, guess what? It's not.
This place will always be
about one thing family.
You did your worst to mine,
but the Tremonts stayed strong.
I found a family of my own here,
and a home where I'm loved.
It's sad you'll never know
what that feels like.
After all he's done,
he doesn't deserve to know.
(entity yelling)
No! No!
(grunting) No.
Get out!
You heard her.
Go now!
-This is our home!
-You'll never have peace here.
We'll make sure of it.
(entity yelling)
♪♪
-(light music playing)
-(Wyatt exhales sharply)
(chuckles)
(exhales)
(groans, gasps)
-Should I get the doctor?
-No, wait.
Sarah?
(sighs) Thank goodness.
It's over.
The kids are safe.
(all laughing)
We did it, guys. The ghost is gone.
I knew we could do it all along.
Your clammy hands say otherwise.
Ew.
WYATT: No. She's, she's exaggerating.
-Here, feel.
-No.
Ruby
he's gone.
The judge spent decades
torturing our family.
We're finally free of him.
Well, thanks to you kids.
And Sam.
Wait, where's Sam?
♪♪
Sam? What are you doing out here?
RUBY: It's time for him to go.
Where to now?
Space colony 500 years in the future?
I vote dinosaurs (gasps) or gladiators.
ZOEY: You don't get a vote, Wyatt.
Besides, the time machine
doesn't go back that far.
Does it?
He's not planning on
using the time machine.
Are you, Sam?
Wait, then, then how?
SAM: My mother.
She's waiting on me.
Daisy, too.
♪♪
Oh.
(sniffles, laughs)
I'll never forget you.
You couldn't if you tried.
You're safe.
I'll always be with you, okay?
(wind whooshing)
♪♪
(ethereal music playing)
(Savannah sobbing)
(door closing)
Wait Sam was a ghost this whole time?
Guess so.
I did not see that coming.
Did you?
What am I saying? Of course, you did.
The Tremont women see everything.
You okay?
I will be once I'm back home.
Gonna miss you guys, though.
I'm not saying goodbye.
Never sticks, does it?
See ya later?
-Some day.
-(car doors closing)
I heard a car door.
It could be our parents.
Time for me to go?
Yeah.
(melancholy music playing)
-WYATT/ZOEY: Dad!
-Guys.
TOPHER: Mom!
What are you doin' here?
So, this is why you weren't
answering your phone.
-WYATT: Where's Mom?
-Is she okay?
Much better now that the ghost is gone.
But the doctor still wants
to keep her tonight for observation.
How'd you know the ghost was gone?
Your mom told us.
She somehow felt it happen.
Like a weight had been lifted.
And I assume we have you to thank.
How did you manage
to get the ghost to leave?
Shine enough light around
and darkness disappears.
(light music playing)
-SAVANNAH: Mom?
-(gasps) Oh gosh, Savannah.
Sorry. I didn't mean to startle you.
Just wanted to say goodnight.
What are you sending
to the children's home?
A donation.
(softly): I found some money
hidden in the barn.
-A great deal of money.
-The barn? Really?
CAROLINE: Yeah, behind some storage boxes.
I can't imagine who would've
done that or why.
In any case
the children's home will be able
to put the money to good use.
Helping kids like me find families.
BOY: 'Scuse me, Ms. Caroline?
Would you happen to have
an extra key to the supply room?
Let me guess, the campers flushed yours?
How-How'd you know?
SAVANNAH: It's pretty much a
rite of passage around here.
Even for junior counselors, like me.
I'll go get the spare.
I'm Savannah, by the way.
Jordan Jordan Barker.
Nice to meet you, Jordan Barker.
♪♪
(winces)
(grunts) We have to make this quick.
Topher can only cover for so long.
Same with the twins.
Look, once we're certain
the future's been fixed
it's back home to live
our lives in the present.
-No more time travel.
-No more time travel.
-(crowd chattering)
-GRIFFIN: Good thing Sam was able to
tweak the radio so we could
set the dials to an actual date.
Why'd you pick the night of the dance?
If we're here together,
then it means I'm okay
and we're still friends.
There look.
KIDS (chanting): Campbell! Campbell!
Topher's okay.
Yeah.
FUTURE GRIFFIN: Enough, enough.
Congratulations.
To be clear, this doesn't mean
you're getting any
special treatment at home.
Oh, no, of course not.
But here at school?
You both can address me as
as "my lord."
Is it too late to demand a recount?
Had to be rigged.
Look, look at this face.
How could I not win?
Hey, be glad you didn't win,
or you would've had
to dance with your sister.
Homecoming King?
I'd say you're doin' better than okay.
Plenty of people must like you.
I don't care about other people.
Come on.
♪♪
FUTURE HARPER: Griffin!
(Futures Griffin and Harper laughing)
-Griffin!
Definitely still friends.
Not just friends.
Royalty. (laughs)
Uh, do you think any cool
perks come with the job?
Like, reserved parking,
or, uh, or prime seating
in the lunch room?
Yeah, guess we'll have to wait
a few years to find out.
Why wait for the future?
We're already here.
♪♪
(swooshing)
So, this is it.
Feels like the right time.
Once we break the radio
there's no more adventures.
I wouldn't say that.
(both chuckling)
Wanna do the honors?
(radio turns on)
Someone's using the portal.
That would be a huge mistake.
Who are you?
My name's Nick Nick Campbell.
Campbell?
As in
Your son.
