Harper: Previously on Secrets of Sulphur Springs...
Who are you guys? I'd know it if you were campers.
Uh, I'm Harry and this is...
Um, Hermione.
Griffin: My dad said he didn't know Savannah.
He lied to me.
It's every place we felt a cold spot.
In the kitchen, in the dining room.
There's a room behind this wall.
A secret room?
Ben: Probably boarded-up years ago.
(girl singing on recorder)
* Under sugar maple shade *
-(Ben exclaims) -(music stops)
Griffin: Dad's been lying. He knew Savannah.
You got all this from Harper, didn't you?
You and Harper need to take a break.
Is that where you were today? The Tremont?
Did you used to go to camp there?
(scoffs) Of course not.
You're wasting your time on that freaky Savannah.
You must be new.
I'm Jessica,
but everyone calls me Jess.
Harper: My mother flat-out said she never went to camp.
She's covering something up. Just like your dad.
(door creaking)
Griffin: How are we gonna save Savannah?
(door creaking)
Harper: She's here.
Maybe we should just throw it out?
No, no. I can save it.
I just need...
Griffin. Perfect guy for the job.
We'll put this thing right in no time. Won't we, bud?
All right. I'll let you two guys get to it.
(phone chimes)
Actually, now's not a really good time.
Come on, Griff. Let's show your mom we can do this on our own.
It'll only take a minute.
What do you need?
Hold this straight while I secure the base.
Looks good, huh?
Uh, yeah, sure. Can I go?
Yeah, yeah.
(vehicle approaching)
Grandpa!
(chuckles) Griffin.
What are you doing here, Dad?
Better question, son.
What are you doing here?
Hey, go grab my bags out of the car, would you, Griffin?
I-- I would, but I got to go.
Griffin, help your grandfather,
though I can't imagine he'll be staying long.
I'll stay as long as it takes to talk some sense into you.
You shouldn't be here, Bennett.
None of you should.
(theme music playing)
(objects clattering)
Wyatt: It's not in here.
It has to be. Look harder.
(clattering continues)
(door creaking)
-Wyatt. -I'm looking!
(whooshing)
-Got it. -(floorboard creaking)
(all scream)
You guys scared me.
We scared you?
Zoey: Uh, what are you doing here?
I thought you couldn't come over anymore.
I snuck in to hang out with Griffin.
What are you doing down here?
No one else believes us about Savannah's ghost.
So we're gonna catch her on camera.
Just got to figure out how it works.
Think it needs a little cassette in there.
My brother's a geek for that kind of stuff.
He can explain it better.
You should go find him.
You guys aren't supposed to be down here.
Neither are you.
We won't tell Mom and Dad if you don't.
Okay fine.
-(footsteps receding) -(door closes)
You don't think they found the bunker?
No, but it'll ruin everything if they did.
We have to be more careful.
-Are you ready? -Definitely.
We have to go back and find out exactly what our parents are hiding.
And fast.
When we felt Savannah's ghost in your room last night,
I think it was her way of urging us on, you know?
-Like she wanted us to hurry. -I know what you mean.
We don't have much time though.
My grandpa just randomly showed up,
and now we have to have family dinner tonight.
You can't get out of it?
No way. With my grandpa being here,
my dad is acting even weirder than usual.
I just don't get it. As a kid, he was so chill.
What happened to him?
Why do you have to be so bratty?
How can you be so selfish?
Savannah: I'm not being selfish. I'm having fun.
You should try it sometime.
Jess: Well, sorry if my idea of fun
doesn't involve stealing punch
and throwing it around springs.
I mean, what if you attracted grizzly bears here?
Grizzlies?
In Louisiana?
Whatever!
You're going to keep getting in trouble,
and you're going to get Ben kicked out.
Ben can do what he wants, and so can I.
Just because you act like you're in charge of everyone here, Jess,
it doesn't mean you actually are.
Whoa, was that your mom?
Yeah. She's a lot different now.
Griffin: I'll go find my dad.
See if I can get him talking about Savannah.
And I'll ask Jess. I mean... my mom.
(exhales) Man, this is so strange.
Tell me about it.
Do you think she'll talk to you?
Don't worry. I have a strategy.
Yeah.
Remember, keep it subtle.
Way ahead of you.
(playing rock guitar riff)
Harry, what's up?
Get kicked out of the hotel yet?
Not yet.
Why? You and Savannah need help on your next prank?
As soon as we plan one, we'll let you know.
What about the camp dance?
You're probably going together, right?
Nah.
Sorry. I thought you liked her.
I mean, sure I like her.
Savannah's different, you know?
Of course, not everyone appreciates that.
Hey, you doing okay, Jess?
Do I not look okay?
Oh, no. You do. I just-- I, uh--
I saw you and Savannah fighting outside.
It was hardly a fight.
It was Savannah being her usual obnoxious self.
Yeah, she was pretty awful to you.
I know, right? She thinks she's so cool but
it's so fake.
I can't believe Ben doesn't see it.
Are you, um...
Are you jealous of her and Ben?
Jealous? Of Little Orphan Annie? Please.
I just think this place would be a whole lot nicer
if she'd just...
like... go away.
(continues guitar riff)
What song is that?
Uh, just something I've been working on.
You wrote that?
Uh, yeah.
I'm supposed to be practicing for the talent show tomorrow.
My dad's coming, and he wants me to play
something boring and "classical."
I don't know.
(sighs) I'd rather play my own thing, you know?
Then you totally should.
That song you were playing was awesome.
Really?
-Yeah. -Thanks.
Uh, well, of course, I actually need to finish it first.
Uh, want to help?
-Yeah. -Awesome.
(playing riff)
My mom was definitely jealous of Savannah.
Did you get anything out of Ben?
Um, not a lot.
He showed me a song he was working on, though.
I got to help with it.
Like actually helped write it.
It was so cool finally getting to play guitar with my dad.
Griffin! We're not here to make friends with our parents.
We're supposed to save Savannah.
Yeah, I know that.
But Ben doesn't really seem to be hiding anything.
We know he is. Why else would your dad be lying to us back at home?
Your mom lied too.
Which is why I'm taking it seriously when I question her
and not just giggling over music together.
Ben and I didn't giggle.
You're just mad that my dad, as a kid, is fun
and your mom, as a kid, is...
kind of the worst.
We better get back.
Wouldn't want you to miss dinner with your fun dad.
(sighs)
Sarah: I would have fixed up the guest room
had I known you were coming, Bennett.
-I hope it's okay. -Oh, I'll make do.
Griffin, we've been waiting for you.
Where have you been?
Just, uh...
Just doing homework.
All afternoon?
Good man, Griffin.
Study hard, rise to the top, and do important things.
It's the Campbell way.
At least it was until recently.
I am doing something important here, Dad.
Don't you remember what this place used to be like?
All too well.
I'm worried that you're the one with the faulty memory, Bennett.
You know, it's not too late for you to go back to Chicago.
I can always get you reinstated at the firm.
-You were doing so well. -Ben: Dad.
Enough.
Kids, what are you hiding under there?
We found it.
Hey, Grandpa, you're really old.
Do you know how to find something called a cassette?
Wyatt!
-I am so sorry. -It's okay.
So what are you hoping to record with that thing?
-A ghost. -Ah.
Savannah's ghost.
Savannah?
How many times do I have to tell you
we're done talking about ghosts?
You didn't say much at dinner.
-What's going on? -It's just...
Why are boys so frustrating?
You talking about any frustrating boy in particular?
I hope it's not one who lives in a certain hotel
that I most definitely asked you to stay away from.
No, it's not Griffin. Just...
boys in general...
can be so...
immature.
(chuckles)
Yeah, I remember what that's like.
Come here.
Boys can make you feel like you're crazy,
especially when you have a crush.
Did your first crush make you crazy?
If you count filling up two notebooks of Mariah Carey lyrics...
-(Harper chuckles) -...then yes.
Um... How did it end?
Was it bad?
It ended the way all crushes do,
with someone getting crushed.
(door opens)
-(footsteps approach) -(door closes)
Hey, Grandpa, can I ask you something?
Yeah, sure.
Why are you so mad at Dad for coming back to Sulphur Springs?
Well...
I've always wanted what was best for your father,
and sometimes we disagree on what that is.
You think this place is bad for my dad?
How come?
Well, look at it.
It's nothing but a pile of old wood and bad memories
sitting in a backwater swamp.
No place for a Campbell to end up.
Bad memories? What kind of bad memories?
The past belongs in the past.
Best to leave it there.
(tense music playing)

Wyatt: There he is!
(door bell jingles)
Topher, we heard you were the guy to see to get this thing to work.
-You heard right. -Great.
The sooner we get Savannah's ghost on camera, the better.
That's what the camera's for?
Your funeral.
Okay, now, here's what you gotta do.
Sarah!
I see you didn't take my advice
to get your family out of that deathtrap of a hotel.
Well, with my husband's fix-it skills,
we've officially upgraded from deathtrap to money pit.
Look, I know that you asked Harper to stay away from Griffin.
It's nothing personal. Just protecting my daughter.
I completely understand.
It seems those two are a bad influence on each other.
I think it makes sense to keep them apart, at least for now.
Hmm. Might me easier to do if there are two of us keeping an eye out.
I'm glad we're on the same page.
-I'm sorry, I-- -I was thinking--
Uh, look, I think we can both agree
-yesterday was kind of a bust. -Yeah.
No matter what happens, it's better when we work together.
-As a team. -Exactly!
And we definitely still have work to do
if we really wanna find out what our parents are hiding.
I wish we could go back now.
How are we gonna sit around all day,
learning about mitochondria and eating bologna sandwiches
-when Savannah's life is on the line? -We're not!
I just paid Topher 30 bucks
to drop off notes to the front office saying we're sick.
So, are you ready?
(indistinct chatter)
What is this?
Griffin: It must be that talent show.
Man: Nice job!
Wow, what a talent!
Uh, next up...
Let's welcome guitarist Ben Campbell up to the stage,
playing Greensleeves.
I know I'm supposed to play Greensleeves,
but instead, here's something I just finished writing.
(playing rock music)
(audience cheering)
(stops playing)
(playing discordant notes)
Let's give it up again for Ben Campbell!
(light applause)
Hey, hey, hey-hey. You think I got off work and came all the way down here
to listen to you play that... garbage?
Clearly, sending you to this camp was a mistake.
You embarrassed me today, Bennett.
You embarrassed yourself.
Wow! Has your grandpa always been that mean?
Not to me.
Guess I've never seen him alone with my dad.
And our last performer of the day will be...
Savannah Dillon.

This is the song I heard in the secret room.
♪ Under sugar maple... ♪
It was Savannah singing.

(audience cheering, applauding)
Well, that was unique.
Now it's time for everyone to cast their ballots for the winner.
I'm glad Savannah's gonna win.
She deserves it.
But...
she's not gonna win, my dad is.
I saw a picture of him holding the trophy.
Maybe we changed things.
I did tell him to play his own song.
Hiding from your dad?
Nope, just fixing a draft.
Why? He's not around, is he?
(laughs) He's upstairs.
Uh, I didn't want to get into this in front of him,
but I think Griffin might be hanging around Harper again.
I spoke with Jess.
I wanted to let her know that we're on the same page.
Did she say anything else?
Not really. Why?
No reason.
You know, I don't think this screwdriver is the right size.
I'm gonna go find another one.
(thudding)
What are you two up to?
This is where we felt one of the cold spots.
We're gonna finally catch that ghost in here.
I know it.
The only thing there is to catch in here is tetanus.
This area is officially off limits.
Clear out.
(tense music playing)
(music intensifies)
All of your ballots have been counted,
and the winner of the camp talent show is...
Ben Campbell!
(hesitant applause)
Maybe it was destiny for him to win, no matter what.
Or maybe someone rigged the results.
You really think your mom cheated?
Man, she must really like my dad!
Or really hate Savannah.
(tense music playing)
♪*♪
Ben: Leaving already?
Well, it's clear you won't be talked out of this, uh, project.
I know you may not believe this,
but everything I've done is for your benefit.
I'm a grown man now. I can make my own choices.
Yes, so I see.
Just remember, Bennett...
one of these days, when your choices land you in hot water,
I won't be there to bail you out.
Thanks for dropping by, Dad.
Drive safe.
Hey, Griffin.
You stay out of trouble now.
How much of that did you hear?
-(door closes) -Some.
My relationship with your grandfather is...
(car engine starting)
is complicated.
You're probably too young to understand.
I understand.
At least, better than I used to.
Think I get it now.
Get what?
Why Grandpa bothers you so much.
It's like... he wants to be in charge of what you do.
And maybe that's why you brought us here.
'Cause you have all these bad memories you wish could be better.
Better get going on your homework before dinner.
You're quiet tonight.
Still upset about the boys at school?
No. Now it's another girl who's the problem.
Ah, yes.
Middle school boys can be frustrating but the girls?
(scoffs) They could be downright cruel.
Don't I know it.
Topher, why don't you go set the table?
Last night, you were telling me about how your first crush drove you crazy.
Did you ever take it out on anyone else?
Like another girl?
Harper, what is going on?
Is some girl bothering you?
No, not me. Um, someone else I know.
I'm probably overreacting anyway.
Most mean girls are actually harmless, right?
Deep down?
I think you should stay away from girls like that.
It starts off as a game, can become very real.
Griffin, my mom might be worse than a liar.
I think she might've actually done something to Savannah.
I don't know.
Rigging a talent show is a long way from disappearing somebody.
I didn't want to believe it either but think about it.
My mom didn't just hate Savannah,
she acted on it at the talent show.
And I think she'll do it again.
(door opens)
Harper Marie, do you have something you need to tell me?
You skipped school today?
(door opens)
Griffin, I just got off the phone with your principal.
-You're grounded. -You're grounded.
Get used to this bedroom, Harper.
Because you're not going anywhere.
(tense music playing)
♪*♪
Ben: The last big camp event of the summer.
Should be fun.
I don't know.
I was thinking of skipping it.
Camp dances are pretty lame, right?
Oh, yeah. I guess they are.
This dance isn't going to be lame.
You have to be there.
Trust me, it'll be a night to...
remember.
(tense music playing)
Next time on Secrets of Sulphur Springs...
Tonight's the anniversary of Savannah's disappearance.
she'll be haunting this place extra hard.
The camp dance starts at 8:00.
That gives us less than five hours to save her from...
Just say it, my mom.
-Going somewhere? -I do have someplace to be.
-But you have to really cover for me, okay? -Done.
Jess: Hey, Hermione, do you wanna come to the dance with me tonight?
I can always use a partner in... crime.
