(Camera beeps on)
hi, tristan milligan, here.

Everyone's talking about
what happened this summer,

But I'm the only one
that knows the whole truth.

That's why I'm recording
this vlog.

Please, pay close attention

So that something like this
can never, ever, happen again.

Okay, it all took place during
the hottest summer on record...



♪ I'll burn the house down
and I'll leave it behind ♪

Cannonball!
(Huge splash)

Oops. Did I wreck
your new outfit?

Frankie:
it'll dry. Nothing can ruin
my first day
at my new summer job!

Miles:
(laughs) easy.
It's at city hall with dad,

Not like the un,
or something.

Frankie:
yeah, but we are working
to improve
priority neighbourhoods.

We could make a difference.

Especially since all
the interns are super-smart.

Hmm. You want smart?

Doing grade ten science
in summer school

So I can graduate early -
now that is smart.

No. Smart was not
taking a job,

So we can float in the pool
all summer.

Winston:
(chuckles) you could still
join us geniuses...

"Frankston: summer of romance."

Frankie:
there will still be
plenty of time for romance

After work -
which I should get to.

Miles:
do you need a lift?
We've literally got
nothing else to do.

Frankie:
in the hollingsworth-mobile?

I want the interns
to see me as a person,

Not just a last name.
I'll walk.

Alone? What if something
happens to you?

Now you're just stalling.

(Kiss)
♪ ...by the end of the night ♪

♪ My pocket's full of nothing
and it's keeping me light ♪

♪ I need a- ♪
(shoe heel snaps) oh!

Guy:
excuse me,
do you need any help?

Frankie:
I'll be okay.

(Sucks in her breath
and sighs)

Guy:
uh... I've got some glue
in the back.

Frankie:
no thank you.

Guy:
you're sure? I...
I can give you a ride
if you'd like.

Frankie:
leave me alone, okay?

Guy:
oh, I'm sorry.
I didn't mean to frighten you!

(Exhales sharply)

Abe:
okay, so we've got cat
and logan.

Matt and... Matt.

Anyone seen
frankie hollingsworth?

As in daughter of
one mayor hollingsworth?

She's ten minutes late.

(Door bangs shut)

Frankie:
I am so, so sorry.

There was this weird guy
on the way to work and he...

Cat: (laughs smugly)
well, you have to give her
points for such a creative
excuse on day one.

He kept trying to offer me help

And he wouldn't take no
for an answer.

Forget it.
What're we working on?

Abe:
let's begin.

This summer,
my city hall interns,

We'll use your young,
nimble brains

And next-to-free labour

To help tackle poverty
in this city.

Any ideas on how we can bolster
our priority neighbourhoods?

Frankie:
well, they need money, right?

So let's start a charity
and hold a fundraiser,
like a silent auction.

Cat:
you know most charities lose
% of their money to overhead.

Logan:
yeah, not to mention
allow rich people

To disassociate
from the actual cause.

Frankie:
yeah, but who else is gonna bid
at a silent auction?

A plumber?
Cat: my dad's a plumber.

Logan:
wow. What are the odds?
Rough break, small fry.

I'll show you
who's a small fry.

Abe:
okay, any more ideas?

How're we getting
our hands dirty, this summer?

Cat:
okay, well, how about this?



Zoe:
tristan!
My summer school saviour!

What? No "hi zoe.
Amazing dress.

It matches your sandals
perfectly"?

Sorry, my goal for the summer
is to be internet famous

And I have to scope out
my competition.

Her name's gloria.
She makes these crazy
frozen treats...

And gets like
twenty thousand views.

Gloria:
you know, I think I even taste
a bit of woodsy campfire too.

This is one seriously
sweet treat.

Zoe:
well, I'll do my best to help,
(bell rings)

But my first priority
is passing science.

Oh! Lucky for you,
I have a plan for that.

(Students chatter)

Perfect! A niner,
here to get ahead.

A.k.a. My lab partner.
Zoe: ah!

I thought we'd be partners.
Who am I supposed to go with?

Tristan:
bingo. I know for a fact
she got at least a 'b.'

She's here to upgrade.
Zoe: yeah, fact number two:

She hates my guts.

Tristan:
oh, haters gonna hate.

(Punk music blares
through headphones)

Hey!

Zoe:
song of the summer?

(Sighs) only an idiot still
thinks that there's some kind
of monoculture

That can be defined
by a single song.

Totally.

Um, I actually wanted to ask,

Do you maybe wanna be...
Lab partners?

If I get to pick the music
for all study sessions.

Sounds great.

(Punk music blares)

Tristan: nice work.
Mr. Bain: hello, class!

Oh my! Well, aren't you
the eager student.

Well, you're so eager
you forgot to eat.

Now stand over there.
There we are.

Hello! I am... Augustus bain,
your science teacher.

I'm sorry for my tardiness.
Car trouble.

Let's. Learn. Science.

(Waves wash ashore)



Maya:
she's not moving!
What do we do?

Zig:
check to see
if she's breathing!

If not, we perform cpr!

Maya: okay.
Tiny: dibs on
chest compressions.

Zig:
you would volunteer
for that.

Are you two seriously talking
about her boobs right now?

Gloria:
dying over here, remember?

Maya:
um... We'll move her
and get her covered up.

(Maya grunts with effort,
whistle blows)

Lifeguard instructor:
and... Time.
Great work, guys.

Except maya...
I have to fail you.

You didn't check for a spinal
injury before dragging her.

But... There was no sign
of trauma.

All these guys did
was ogle her.

Gloria:
can you blame them?

(Waves wash ashore,
seagulls cry)

Maya:
I blame you
for wearing that bikini.

Shouldn't she fail? I mean...
That's definitely not proper
lifeguarding attire.

Zig:
well, maybe you can take
the test again?

Maya:
no, it's cool. I don't need it
for the job I want, anyways -

Nanny for jordyn kincaid's
kids.

Gloria: the music producer?
Maya: yeah.

Maybe if I impress her,

I'll get a job in
the industry some day.

And that is something your
boobs cannot wreck for me!

Zig: (chuckles)
maya: come on.



Zoe:
question four -

"What force controls
the movement of the planets?"

Grace:
I'm not gonna answer
every question for you.

Zoe:
I know that.

So answer one.
Any question.

(Sighs)
as I suspected.

Cool.

Wait. Well what-
what am I supposed to do?

Learn science.

But when it comes
to these big concepts,
I'm just... Lost.

Lost in what?
You don't even try.

I already failed this class
once. I know I don't get it.

Or you know
if you never really try,

You never have to truly find
out if you're an idiot.

I just want to pass.

(Loud thump, hard clunk)

Um... What are you doing?

Grace:
ever heard of trans-cranial
direct current stimulation?

Scientists have figured out

That applying a small current
to the brain

Can accelerate learning.

Hold these to your temples...
And I'm going to zap you

While you read
the next chapter.

Wait!

Bite down on this.
'Kay.

(Zoe grunts,
exhales nervously)

Tristan:
you think that was shocking,

But that's nothing compared
to what happened to maya
at her interview.

(Creepy music plays)

(Frightened gasp)

(Approaching footsteps)
everett: why do you scare
all of them?

Lena:
mom's scary.

I figure...
They should be warmed up.

(Approaching footsteps)

Jordyn:
you have a very impressive
resume.

So nice to meet you.

You'll hear from me
in the next couple days.

Gloria: maya?
Maya: gloria?

Jordyn:
you two know each other?

Gloria:
we were in the same
lifeguarding class.

She didn't exactly pass,

But I'm sure
you'll still love her.

Jordyn:
small world, huh?
Jordyn kincaid.

Maya:
hi! Maya matlin.
I'm a huge fan.

Here.
Jordyn: great.

(Envelope and resume rustle)

Did you really fail
your lifeguarding class?

Um... Technically, yeah.

Technically? Your resume
suggests you passed.

Right, well, I guess
I made that before i...

Actually finished
the course.

But everything else
on there is true.

I can cook!
Sort of.



(Interns chatter)

Winston: coming?
Frankie: hey, winston.

Cat's inviting everyone
to something, tonight.

Do you mind
if I skip the beach?

Winston:
the cooler's all ready to go.
Ice cold cream soda...

I just need to see
where they're going

And prove I'm not just
some annoying little girl.

(Sighs)
okay, go.

Thanks, winston.
You're the best.

Cat:
okay, let's go clean up.

(Interns chatter,
phones ring)

Hey. Um...
What was all that about?

Oh, that. Cat's having
some birthday thing.

Oh. Um... Like, where?



♪ Oh the sound ♪

♪ Breaking through
just like it should ♪

♪ So you're so good ♪

Miles:
hey! I haven't heard from you
since school got.

I thought we were gonna
hang out this summer.

Mm. You can keep on
thinking that.

Miles: but are we?
Tristan: I can't believe
you chose summer school
over miles.

(Zoe and tristan laugh)

(Record scratches,
drink thuds)

Maya: hey! Drink at lola's.
Zoe: oh my god.

Maya: thanks.
Tristan and zoe: (laughing)

Maya:
what? It's the only summer job
I could get.

I failed at being a nanny.

No, it's um...
A great look.

Zoe: mm-hmm.
Tristan: lettuce get
a better look at you.

Maya:
whatever, okay?
I'm looking for zig.

He'll make me feel better.

He's lifeguarding.
Have you seen him?

Oh...

Gloria:
(giggling)
oh my gosh...

Oh my god, maya.
Hilarious costume.

Maya:
don't "maya" me.

Gloria: what's your problem?
Maya: you stole my job.

And now you're trying
to steal my boyfriend!

Okay, why don't you
just chill out?

Maya:
fine, I can chill.

Because karma's gonna get you
for this

And you know what?
Girls like you deserve it.

Let's go.

(Zoe and tristan laugh)

(Loud rock music blares,
girls scream and laugh)



"Eat me"
or "drink me."

Are those dr*gs?

Logan:
oh, yeah, hard dr*gs.

No, it's cocktails
and candy.

It's an alice
in wonderland party.

Cat:
my friends call me
cheshire cat.

Is that for me?

Frankie:
oh, yeah,
is there a gift table?

Logan:
yeah, right next to the clown
making balloon animals.

You should take
the jelly beans.

These cocktails got
a bit of a kick.

Frankie:
whatever. My friends call me
frank the t*nk.

Logan:
(amused)
all right.

You're really going for that,
huh?

(Frankie grimaces)
logan: you good?

(Gift falls,
loud metallic crash)

Oh...

sh**t!
(Fire implements clatter)

(Light clicks on)
agh!

Mom, what are you doing?!

Mrs. Hollingsworth:
why are you home so late?
It's two hours past your curfew.

Frankie:
I was out with work friends.
I think they like me now.

Mrs. Hollingsworth:
okay... And how many drinks
did that take?

Frankie:
I swear I only had
a couple of sips.

Mrs. Hollingsworth: really?
Frankie: (vomits)

Ugh! Ugh!

Sorry.

Lola:
...con este hilo mi hechizo
fijo...

Que mi deseo sea conmigo
mientras este conjuro digo...

Do you have a lock
of gloria's hair?

Maya:
no. Why would I have that?

For the hechizo.
Okay, we'll pretend.

What kind of curse
do you wanna put on her?

We could take away
her beauty... Or her voice...

All I really want is the job
that I rightfully deserve.

This is all about
a summer job?

Not all of us have parents
that name their restaurant
after us.

Lola:
okay, let me try something.

(Exhales)
con cada punto bordo
este encanto,

Que mi deseo sea conmigo
mientras este...
(Maya's phone buzzes)

Con cada punto bordo
este encanto...
(Phone buzzes)

Con este hilo
mi hechizo fijo...

Maya: hello?
Jordyn: my regular nanny,
gloria, didn't show, today.

I'm in a bind.
Can you fill in?

Of course!
Um, I'll-i'll be right over!

That was amazing!
I'd also like a million dollars
and a private jet.

Huh?

(Low hum of chatter,
phones ring)

Abe:
look alive, minions.
We've got a guest coming.

Apparently, someone wants you
for a special assignment!

Fun times, last night?

Uh... A little too fun.

Any advice on how to make
this room stop spinning?

Uh... Go back in time
and drink less?

Cat:
pick a spot on the wall
and focus.

(Door closes nearby,
phones ring)

Mr. Hollingsworth:
so who in here thought
it would be a good idea

To get my teenaged daughter
drunk?!

Frankie:
dad. What're you doing here?

Mr. Hollingsworth:
you didn't think your mother
was gonna tell me

You came home obliterated?

Frankie: these are my friends.
Mr. H: your "friends?"

Young lady, you have to learn
to be more careful

About who you choose
as "friends."

Please don't fire them.

Mr. Hollingsworth:
oh, I'm not f*ring them,

Just giving you all
a very "special" assignment.

(Phone rings nearby)

Mr. Bain:
excellent work
on this assignment.

Zoe:
(gasps) I got an a?
I got an a! I got an a!

Shay:
how did she do better
than me?

Tristan:
okay, I know you're
a trained actress,

But you might be
overselling it a bit.

Zoe:
no, I did this one
on my own.

Tristan:
ugh. Sure, you did.

Don't pretend you're not
just as dumb as me.

Zoe:
I'm not! Not anymore.

Grace... Zapped my brain.
You should try it.

Tristan:
you're talking crazy.

Tell him.
Uh, trans cranial...

Direct current stimulation.

Hunter: but it doesn't work.
Grace: shhh!

Zoe:
it totally does.
Look.

Hunter: (laughs)
she act-she actually believes
you. That's hilarious.

Zoe:
it's not funny.
It's real.

Mr. Bain!
Mr. Bain: hmm?

Zoe:
can you tell hunter
about trans-cranial...

Mr. Bain:
direct current stimulation.
Yes.

The m*llitary is toying
with it,

But uh... The jury's still out
science-wise,

And any home version
would be a placebo, at best.

Hunter: ha-ha!
Mr. Bain: now, onto today's
lesson: "the sun."

Did you guys know
that at one time...

Was that your plan?
To embarrass me in front
of the entire class?

You do realize this actually
means you're smart,
right, dummy?

(Low hum of chatter,
rollers swipe)

(Birds chirp,
interns chatter)

(Crow caws,
circus-like music plays)

It's like we're in
a horror movie.

(Ice cream truck rumbles up)

Logan: what the hell?
Frankie: surprise!

I called it here as an
apology... For all of this.

It's free ice cream.
Yay!

(Interns mutter)

I've done everything
to make you people like me.

What did I ever do
that was so wrong?

You took this internship.

The rest of us, we had to work
really hard to get here.

We care about the work.
Frankie: I care about the work,
too.

And yet, all you've done
is drink too much

And get us all in trouble.

I just don't know
as much as you.

I haven't been to university,
so I don't have the experience.

But... I'm smart.
I wanna learn.

Please, teach me.

Maya:
and drumroll please...
(Drums her hands)

Blueberry surprise!

Lena:
more like boooooo-berry.

Everett:
gloria made them
with three flavours.

Maya:
yeah, but I bet
these are way tastier.

Lena:
not even!
Gloria was the best.

Maya:
wait, you guys aren't saying
you actually like gloria chin?

She's so rude and... And fake.
She's a monster.

She's the best nanny
we've ever had.

Maya:
she didn't even show up today!

Lena:
oh, (laughs) I get it.
You're jealous.

Maya: of gloria?
Lena: mm-hmm.

Maya: no way.
Lena: you can't handle that
she's smart and pretty...

And sweet,
and people actually like her.

Everett:
yeah. Maybe you're the monster.

Tristan:
okay, I've got a vlog idea.

You and me tanning...
While reviewing iced drinks.

Hot and cold,
together at last.

Grace:
zoe, wait up.

Zoe: what do you want?
Grace: sorry about earlier,
okay?

Mr. Bain's taking some of us
to go see the delta aquarids
meteor shower.

Come.

Zoe:
so you can find some new
and clever way to mock me?

Because I think
you'd be interested.

Mr. Bain:
guys, twenty meteors an hour,
burning up.

It's crazy.
Just a kilometres above us!

Come on!

(Laughs)

I know you think
you're allergic to science,

But for a hot minute there,
you were good at it.

You actually cared
how the world worked.

Don't give that up.

Okay, you can't be
considering this.

I think I actually wanna use
my brain for once.

Grace, wait up!
Tristan: if you really wanted
to use your brain,

You wouldn't follow a creepy
teacher out to the woods!

Frankie:
are we safe here?
It's gonna be dark soon.

Logan:
this is one of
the neighbourhoods
you signed up to help,

You've never even
been here.

Frankie:
have you?

Logan:
yeah. I grew up in an apartment
building over there.

No you didn't.

Logan:
yeah, I did.

No safe place to play,
no fancy coffee shops.

I hadn't even heard
the word "espresso"
till I got to university.

And, well, to get there,
I had to paid my own way -

Odd jobs,
a lot of savings.

Logan, I had no idea...

Logan:
so that's why
this is so important.

I was supposed to earn
some money,

While giving back
to my neighbourhood.

Frankie:
okay. I get it.
So how do we help?

Logan:
see a lot of people
around here?

No. Why aren't there
more people?

Maybe they don't feel
safe either.

In their own neighbourhood?

What if we made it
look better?

Build some community gardens...

We could get a corporate
sponsor involved and...

Train young people around
the neighbourhood to help.

They could improve
their neighbourhood

While learning
employable skills.

I'm impressed.

Do you think abe
will go for it?

Yeah, it's definitely
a solid start.

Okay. Come on,
let's see more.

(Phone buzzes)
oh, sorry.

Well, what're you
waiting for?

Logan:
my friend just texted me.

My girlfriend, gloria...

She's missing.

For how long?

Logan:
twenty-four hours,
at least.

I just thought she was ignoring
me 'cause we had fight.

What can I do?

I'll tell the police
about that weird guy
who tried to help me.

Maybe it's related.

Logan:
all right. Thanks.

Come here.

Look, I'm sorry I was so hard
on you, you know?

You're one of the good ones,
small fry.

(Door closes)

Maya:
hey. The kids are finally
asleep.

Zig:
so you're calling me over
to make-out.

Maya:
no, I'm...
I'm calling you to apologize.

Zig:
I accept. Now, can I come over
for a makeup make-out?

Maya:
I'm serious, zig.

I shouldn't have snapped at you.
I was just jealous of gloria.

Apparently,
she's actually nice.

Zig:
I still like you way better.

Maya:
I know that. But, for the rest
of the summer,

I just wanna forget she even
exists and focus on this job.

Zig:
so... No coming over
for a make-out?

Maya:
no. I'm just gonna watch tv
and tidy the place up.

Maybe if I kick butt here,
(turns tv on)

Jordyn will take me under
her wing in the music biz.

Bye, ziggy.
News:...approximately p.m.

Detective on tv:
after texting her parents
yesterday,

Gloria chin vanished.

We have declared her
a missing person.

Anyone with information,
can call the police directly,

Or to our anonymous tip line.

What happened to gloria?

You'll never believe it.
(Camera beeps off)

(Blue jay cries,
birds chirp)

(Approaching footsteps)

Tristan:
hey, have any of you seen zoe?

Grace:
not since last night.

After we looked at the stars,
mr. Bain gave her a ride home.

Tristan:
you let her go off, alone,
with him?

Okay, she didn't meet me to
walk to school this morning,

And girls are going missing.

Grace:
you mean like that
gloria girl?

Shay:
I heard she eloped
with some guy.

Hunter:
I heard she was abducted
by the yakuza,

Who harvested her organs.

Zoe:
tris, over here!
(Book snaps shut)

Tristan:
(relieved sighs)
where were you?

Zoe:
sorry about this morning.

I came early to help bain
set up.

There's like no reception
out here.

(Car door closes)
mr. Bain: okay, everybody,
gather round!

Get in close!

Okay, uh...

Science is about observation,
but because we have biases,

Our results can become clouded.

Today, we're going
to identify and catalogue

Everything we see.

Okay, let's go!

All through the forest,
every quadrant. Over here.

I'm worried about you and bain
spending time together.

Zoe:
we went stargazing,
as a group.

He thinks I'm smart.
Chill.

Tristan:
a teacher working hard to make
you feel good about yourself?

Giving you after-hours
attention?

Trying to hang out alone?
Sound familiar?

Zoe:
just because one teacher
got frisky with you, tris,
doesn't mean they're all bad.

Hunter:
whoa! I found bones!

Grace:
big ones.
Like human-sized.

(Students chatter all around)

Hunter:
no, no, no.
I recognize these.

Deer bones.

Zoe:
our teacher is not interested
in me like that.

I'll prove it.

(Foliage rustles,
mr. Bain gasps)

(Woodpecker pecks
in the distance)

(Crow caws)

Frankie:
his nose was pointier.
Even pointier.

I know it doesn't seem
possible, but trust me.

Detective:
you're free to go, miss.

Frankie:
already? You only asked me,
like, five questions.

Detective:
and we got our answers.

They don't seem related
to the missing girl.

Frankie:
maybe you didn't hear me.
A weird guy offered me a ride.

I took it all down.

Don't you want every detail?
I remember a lot!

Detective:
no, I'd like to say thank you
for coming in.

(Low hum of chatter,
phones ring)

(Chair scrapes back)

Winston:
on the bright side,
you can still make it to work.

Madam.
Frankie: I just really wanted
to help logan.

You tried your best.

Now, you can free up your mind
for trivia night.

It'd be sweet to finally
bring home a victory
for team frankston.

Detective:
yeah, it's me. No, there's
nothing new on the tip.

My money's still on
the new guy

Her parents said
she was talking to.

The one they called
"rude and irritating."

Yeah. Look, I think
if we find him, we find her.

Another guy?!
Should I tell logan?

Winston:
that his girl was into
someone else?

Would you wanna be
told that?

So everyone had
different theories

About what happened
to gloria.

Especially maya.
Poor maya.

(Loud thunderclap,
thunder rumbles)

Maya:
so everett seriously thinks
this place is haunted?

Everett:
it is.

Lena:
and that the ghosts took gloria
or something.

They did.

Maya:
so we can use the ouija board
to make the ghosts or whatever,

Tell him that never happened?

Yup, should work.

Hey, ev,
wanna use the ouija board?

Maya:
come on. It'll be fun.
Come on.

(Sulks)

Okay... (Clears throat)
what should we ask it?

Everett:
are there any spirits
with us today?

(Loud thunderclap)

Maya:
yes. Um... Okay.

Uh, who are you, spirit?

Lena: c...
Maya: c...

Lena:
a...

M...
(Loud thunderclap)

I...

L-l...

A.

Oh, hey, camilla.

What, you know her?

Yeah.
She d*ed in here.

Maya: what?
Lena: did you take gloria?

Maya:
no. See, everett?
We're fine.

Lena: i... Know... Who...
(Planchette moves quickly)

Maya: are you doing this?
Lena: no!

It's camilla...
Or one of the others.

Maya: others?
Lena: this used to be
an insane asylum.

(Loud thunderclap,
thunder rumbles)

Lena:
I still can't believe
they converted it into condos

After all those people
were basically tortured here.

But nothing weird happens,
right?

Not really, except...

Sometimes I hear
strange noises in the night.

Lena:
and all of our nannies -
whoo! Whew! - Disappear.

Maya:
come on.
You mean like they quit.

But wait, spirit, we're like...
Safe in here, right?

(Planchette swipes
across board furiously)

Everett:
she says... "U r n-e-x-t."

(Loud thunderclap,
thunder rumbles)

What's wrong?
What does that spell?

Lena: you're next.
Maya: (gasps) oh my gosh!

(Bell rings,
student yelps)

Mr. Bain:
well, I uh... Well,
that's lunchtime, scientists!

Now, if you eat outside,
do so in your car.

When lightning strikes,
it will arc around
the metal body,

Uh, sparing you.
Fascinating?

(Students chatter,
ignoring him)

Mr. Bain:
oh well.

(Zipper unzips,
power flickers)

Zoe:
(exhales heavily,
slightly scared)

(Thunderclap,
thunder rumbles)

Hi, mr. Bain.
Can i... Ask you something?

Mr. Bain:
yes, of course.
An inquisitive mind like yours
can ask me anything.

Is there anything science
can do for...

My tan lines?

Mr. Bain: what're you doing?
Zoe: well...

Wouldn't that look nicer
if it was all one colour?

Mr. Bain:
i... I suppose, if-if one liked
aesthetic uniformity.

Well, do you?

Mr. Bain:
uh... Here's what you do.

You mix baking soda
with water.

Scrub with the mixture
for two minutes.

It will exfoliate
the darker layers,

And blend the two together.

Thanks, mr. Bain.
I knew you'd come through
for me.

(Thunder rumbles,
creepy music plays)

(Running footsteps,
door closes heavily)

I think it's best we don't
spend any time alone together.

What do you mean?

Mr. Bain:
I didn't want to pre-judge you
because of your reputation,

But here we are.

I think it's best
for everyone

If you no longer join
the after-hours group.

(Gasps)

(Door creaks open,
students chatter in the hall)

(Upset, shaky breath)

(Door closes)

(Loud thunderclap)

(Thunder rumbles)

(Phone rings suddenly,
tray crashes)

It's just a phone.
Don't freak.

(Phone beeps on)
hello?

(Loud thunderclap)
hello...?

Okay, who is this?!

Jordyn:
wow, maya. Relax.

I had to answer a question
for the band.

Maya:
oh, hi, jordyn.

Um, the kids are in bed,
like you asked.

Are you close?

Jordyn:
actually, I'm making some magic
in the studio tonight.

I need you to stay
a couple extra hours.

Maya:
(frustrated sigh)
um, well, how many?

Because I'm supposed to-

Jordyn:
you really want me to tell
the band to pack it in?

Maya:
no. No, it's fine.
It's cool.

Um... I'll see you
in a couple of hours.

(Phone beeps off)

(Loud clattering thump,
thunder rumbles)

(Slow, creepy music plays)

(Thunder rumbles)

(Loud thunderclap,
thunder rumbles)

(Maya rattles the doorknob,
and opens the door)

Zig: surprise!
Maya: (gasps) zig!

(Laughs) what?

I got off my shift early.
I thought I'd come
pick you up.

Yeah, well,
I can't come out anymore.

Zig:
oh? So you wanna have
the date here.

I see where your head's at...
Maya: (laughs) no...

You can't stay, okay?

I'm trying to be
the perfect nanny,

So that jordyn will think
I'm a hard worker

And hire me to work
at her studio.

So then why'd you
pull me in?

I need you to check
for ghosts.

(Snorts) o-okay.
Um... Checked. Done.

There's no such thing
as ghosts.

Please! Zig, just check.
Humour me!

(Slightly amused)
fine.

(Loud thunderclap)

(Basket lid clicks)
no ghost here.

(Zig sighs,
siren wails in the distance)

(Zig fake gasps,
maya gasps)

Still no ghosts.
(Basket lid thumps)

Nothing. See?
Am I your hero?

Maya:
mmm...

Distorted voice: you're next!
Zig and maya: (scared gasps)

(Thunder rumbles,
screeching violins play)

(Low hum of chatter)

Hey! Abe said
we could kick it.

I'm sorry.
If I knew this project meant
so many late nights,

I never would have
suggested it.

No, it's good you did.
It's a great idea,

And it's gonna help
a lot of people.

We're grabbing sushi.
Do you wanna come?

Thanks, but...
It's date night.

Okay.

(Receding footsteps)

Gloria: (in video)
today's s'mores-inspired
frozen treat recipe

Comes from samantha
in new jersey.

This is one seriously
sweet treat,

But not as sweet
as my sweetie.

Happy three month anniversary,
logie! (Blows kiss)

Hey. How'd it go
with the police?

They don't think my thing
is related to gloria.

I tried to get them to listen-
logan: yeah, they're idiots.

I mean, they still think
she ran away.

Which is... Is stupid,
you know?

Everything was perfect.
Why would she do that?

They think she was talking
to another guy.

Someone her parents
didn't like.

They think
she's with him.

No. Gloria wouldn't
do that to me!

All right, I'm sorry,
small fry. I...

Look, if I'm being
completely honest,

Yeah, maybe she was
pulling away.

I-i don't really know.
It's all so confusing...

Okay, you probably
gotta go.

You're not going
for sushi?

No, I'm just gonna get
some work done.

No. You shouldn't be alone
tonight.

You're coming with me.

And your boyfriend?

I don't really wanna be
around people right now.

Is that all I am to you?
"People"?

There's that smile.
Now, come on.

Yeah, all right.
(Sniffs)

(Receding footsteps,
thunder rumbles)

(Loud thunderclap)

Distorted voice:
you're next...

Maya:
it's coming
from over there.

Does that look like
a t*rture chamber to you?

Zig: yeah...
Maya: zig, you're supposed
to be the one that says,

"It just looks like
a pantry."

Distorted voice:
you're next!

Maya: (shaky exhale)
zig: it's definitely
getting louder.

(Door creaks open)

Distorted voice:
you're next!

Maya:
oh, it's coming
from down there.

Distorted voice:
you're next!

Maya:
(sharp exhale)
it's a toy?!

Both: (relieved laughter)
maya: oh, can you believe it?!

Zig:
uh, yes. Because I told you,
there's no such thing as ghosts.

Maya:
as if you weren't scared, too!

Zig:
not for a second.

(Door bangs shut,
lights click off)

Maya:
(rattles doorknob)
it won't open.

Zig:
what's going on?

Frankie: pretty sure?
Winston: percent.

Frankie:
okay, because we need this.

We're only down points.

Winston: ugh.
Logan: the most successful
beach boys' album

Isn't "love sounds."
It's "pet sounds."

Winston:
oh, yeah, and all the songs
are called "woof-woof"

And "meow-meow quack"?

Frankie: who has a pet duck?
Logan: it's your team, man.
I'm just a pinch hitter.

Frankie:
okay, guys,
we're running out of time.

Winston:
it's "love."
Lock it in.

(Trivia teams cheer nearby)
winston: ugh.

Winston:
oh, do you have to go
meet up with your friends?
That's too bad.

Logan:
no, actually, I was just gonna
go get another drink.
You guys want anything?

Winston: I can buy
my own drinks, thanks.
Frankie: two banana-mango
smoothies, please.

Logan:
'kay. Got it.

Frankie:
why are you being
so mean to him?

Winston:
oh, to the handsome older guy
you brought on our date?

Frankie:
he's my friend,
and his girlfriend is missing.

Can you even imagine?
What if it were me?

We'll still have a chance
for some alone time.

I'll let you walk me home -
the long way.

Just play nice... For me?

Winston:
okay, but he'd better know...

"Who was the first actor
to play the joker on screen?"

Cesar romero.

Frankie:
see? There is plenty of room
on this team for three.

(Laughs dryly)

(Maya sighs,
footsteps thump in kitchen)

Maya:
there's someone out there.

Zig: maybe it's the kids?
Maya: it doesn't sound
like them.

Oh, I hope they're okay.

(Banging on door)
god, I'm the worst nanny ever.

(Door bursts open,
maya gasps)

I'm so happy to see you.
Are the kids okay?

Jordyn:
yeah, everyone's fine.

Maya? Who's this?

And what is he doing
in my pantry?

Maya:
oh, no, no, no.
It's not like that.

I thought I heard a noise,

And zig popped over to say hi
for like one minute...

It won't happen again.
It's just with gloria
being missing...

And the fact that this place
used to be an insane asylum-

Jordyn:
it used to be
a pencil factory.

Insane asylum?
Who told you that?

(Sighs) whatever,
I'm starving.

We'll talk
about this tomorrow.

Maya: so this whole thing
was a prank?
Lena: what whole thing?

Maya:
how could you embarrass me
like that in front of your mom?

Lena:
because you make it so easy.

(Camera beeps on)

The pressure was mounting.
No one was safe...

Not even me.

(Horror music)
no, please. Don't.

Look, these cost a fortune,

And I still have a few uses
to wring out of them
before labour day.

Thanks to you,
mr. Bain banned me
from the science group.

Tristan:
so you don't have to hang out
with a predator? N b d.

Zoe:
he's not-

He actually thinks I'm smart.
And you know what?

I kind of liked doing
the extra credit stuff

With grace and the smart kids,
but now-

You have more time
to hang out with me

And figure out what
we're gonna do for this vlog!

That's it!
You're jealous.

Tristan:
of what? Science?
(Gasps)

Okay, we-we partnered up
with hunter and grace

So you and I could have
more time to hang out,
remember?

Hey, I'm just as surprised
as you

That grace and I even have
one thing in common.

But it doesn't matter now,
because you wrecked it.

Tristan: (sighs heavily)
zoe: I'll spare your
precious pants...

But don't talk to me...
For the rest of the summer.

Tristan:
okay, you don't mean that.

(Approaching footsteps)
grace! Grace, um... Take this.

It's my half
of today's assignment.

You could've done that
in class.

(Students chatter)

Zoe:
i... Can't go back in.
Ever.

Okay, now you're not
making sense.

(Rushed footsteps)

Zoe:
I embarrassed myself
with bain.

He thinks I was coming on
to him.

Grace:
(laughs) why would
he think that?

Zoe:
because i... Kind of was?

I guess everyone's
got a type.

Zoe:
no, it's not like that.
I was just testing him
because...

Tristan thought
he was trying to perv on me.

Grace:
just tell him what happened.
He's a weird dude.

He'll get it if you explain
you were just being weird.

I'll come with you,
if you want.

You'd do that?

Grace:
I'd never last a whole summer
without you.

You're the only remotely
bearable person in that class.

(Chuckles) thanks.
I think.

(Mariachi music plays)

Zig: (clears his throat)
maya: what?

You ordered the sausage, right?

God, I'm such a failure.

No, no,
it's all right.

No one can stay mad
at bacon.

Maya:
it's not the bacon.

I'm just failing at everything,
especially the job.

Tiny:
I thought
it was your dream job.

Maya:
well, it's turning
into a nightmare.

I mean, I can handle
the small paychecks

And jordyn changing
the hours on the fly,
without any notice.

But the kids,
they just don't like me.

Tiny: who cares
if the kids like you?
Zig: dude!

Tiny: look, children
are like dogs.
Zig: solid start.

You can play with them
all you want,

But if you don't show
them you're in control

When you're done playing
with them,

They just get anxious
and eat your slippers.

Maya:
so what do I have to do?

Tiny:
be firm.
Show them you're in charge

And they'll follow you forever.

Like how zig
follows you around.

Zig:
hey!

(Pop song plays quietly,
phone rings)

Logan:
uh, I need your contact from
that building supply company

To order lumber
for the gardens.

Wait. Isn't this your favourite
song, "meow meow quack"?

Frankie:
ugh! It's so beautiful.
Gets me every time.

Thanks.

(Pop song continues)

Cat:
you two seem
to really get along.

Frankie:
oh. He's pretty amazing,
and smart,

And fun to hang out with-
cat: you should stop.

Frankie: why? We're friends.
Cat: "amazing" friends?

It's not like that.

I have a boyfriend
and he has a girlfriend -

Who I'm sure is
gonna be okay.

Cat:
'kay, monogamous relationships
are just artificial constructs.

If two humans like each other,
a title isn't a wall
that's gonna keep them apart.

I'm not gonna stop
hanging out with logan

Just because you don't think
guys and girls can be friends.

Cat:
they can be friends,
just not if there are feelings.

(Interns chatter,
phones ring)

Logan: hey. Whoa.
Frankie: (gasps)

Just wondering if you wanted me
to walk you home?

Um... Why- uh,
why would I want that?

With gloria missing and all,
you shouldn't walk home alone.

I'm sure I'll be okay.

Logan:
come on, small fry,

Don't make me worry about
someone else I care about.

(Receding footsteps)

(Traffic rumbles)

Maya:
lena. Everett. Can you guys
come here for a sec?

So... Things are gonna change
around here, okay?

Everett: okay.
Lena: can I go back to watching
real housewives, now?

Maya:
okay, but I'm serious.

From now on, you two
are gonna treat me better.

Okay, you're going
to be nice to me,

You're going to listen,
and no more pranks, okay?

Lena: okay, sure, whatever.
Maya: great.

I'm glad we had this chat.

(Chair scrapes across floor)

Hey! I thought we said
no more pranks.

Lena:
that wasn't me.

(Chandelier rattles)

Kids: (frightened gasps)
maya: just stop it, okay?

Lena: I'm not! Everett...
Is this you?
Everett: what do we do?

Maya:
just back out, slowly...

And then...
Bow down to your master

'Cause I got you guys!

Zig: ♪ say hello
to the bad guy! ♪
Everett and lena: (giggle)

I was so scared.

Lena: not me.
Maya: yeah right.

Okay, but can we agree now -
we're even, no more pranks?

Everett:
okay, no more pranks.

Maya:
and you have to admit to me
that that was awesome.

Lena:
okay... It was mildly awesome...

Especially since
it involved zig.

I think she finally likes me.

Zig:
actually, I kinda think
she likes me. (Laughs)

(Door closes)

Zoe: everyone's gone?
Grace: everyone but bain.

Apologizing to him can't
possibly be more embarrassing

Than when you actually
flirted with him.

Zoe: (laughs dryly)
grace: (chuckles)

Uh, I thought you said
he was in here.

Maybe he's in
his office.

(Knocking)

(Door creaks open)

Zoe:
oh my god.

It's gloria chin.

Grace:
the missing girl?

Why would he have that?

Because tristan
was right...

(Laughs) did you hear that?
"Tristan was right."

But if they had only
listened to me,

What happened next
could've been avoided...

(Camera beeps on)
tristan: welcome back.

So this is where the story
gets really freaking creepy.

You see, zoe and grace were
convinced our science teacher

Was responsible
for the missing girl

And willing to do anything
to prove it.

I just really wish
they hadn't done this...

Zoe:
(exhales nervously)
this is a bad idea.

Maybe we should leave
the detective work
to the police.

Grace:
the cops get a thousand tips
a day.

They need evidence
to follow up.

You're not scared,
are you?

That our weirdo teacher
will catch us breaking
into his truck?

Yes.
And you should be, too.

We need to know
if he's the perv taking girls.

Okay, just hurry up!

I'm trying my best.
This is harder
than it looks online.

Wait, you've never
done this before?

Wait, you have?

I auditioned
for fast & furious six.

The director went
a different direction.

Hmph.
Big mistake.

Grace: huge.
(Window hisses open)

Someone should give
hoarders a call.

(Grace and zoe grunt
as they climb in)

Agh!
(Frightened gasp)

Grace:
aw! The little guy's
more scared of you.

Zoe:
yeah, I seriously doubt that.
(Papers fall from folder)

Oh my god.

Oh my god. Oh my god.
Oh my god.

These... (Someone whistles
nearby)
these are all missing girls.

(Whistling)

Both: (gasp)
zoe: it's bain.

(Blanket rustles)

(Flies buzz)

(Window bangs shut)

(Keys jingle,
bain resumes whistling)

(Door opens,
bain whistles)

Zoe:
what're we gonna do?
(Engine starts)

Grace:
(hushed) get comfortable.

Lena:
I'd rather die!

Maya:
you will,
from skin cancer,

If you don't put on
this rash guard.

Lena: but my friends'll
make fun of me.
Maya: then they're not really
your friends, are they?

Oh no,
when did I become my mother?

What's wrong?

Zig:
(growls menacingly)

Maya: it's not funny. Ugh!
Zig, everett and lena: (laugh)

Zig:
my audience disagrees.

Sorry. I'm just so excited
for the zombie walk.

That's this weekend,
right?

Yeah.

Oh, don't tell me
you have to work.

Not yet.
But my boss is so busy.

(Sighs) and I know that
you wanna impress her

By being super-nanny,
but...

I barely ever see you
anymore.

Well, you're seeing me
right now.

Yes, but alone...
Where I can do this.

(Kiss)
everett: ew!

Zig: without that.
Lena: hi, zig!

(Sighs) I know,
I miss you too.

So you'll talk your boss
about saturday?

Okay. As long as your biceps
talk to lena about sun safety.

Frankie:
okay, what about this one?

Logan:
missing since february...

Taken from school,
during lunch hour...

Hey, it's cool of you
to spend your lunch hour

Looking through these missing
persons reports with me.

Uh... What about this one?

It's... Missing only a month.
Nearby.

Could be related.
(Logan's phone buzzes)

Frankie: what is it?
Logan: a text from gloria.

Gloria: (on video)
they have me here... (Sobs)

And they won't let me go...

Unless someone gives them
ten thousand dollars.

If you tell anyone
they sent this,

They'll hurt me...
Honey, I'm so scared...

We need to call
the police.

Well, no, we ca- we can't.
They'll hurt her.

Okay, then what do we do?

I... I don't know.
Get ten thousand dollars?

What, like from the bank?

Sure, I'll just take it
out of my trust fund.

Um... Sorry.
I'm... Freaking out right here.

Well, maybe you could ask
gloria's parents for help?

No, they'd think
I'm trying to scam them.

They never thought I was
good enough for their girl.

Well,
maybe they're right.

What? How can you
say that?

'Cause my girlfriend's
in trouble, and...

I'm falling for someone else.

(Glass clatters
and spills)

Frankie:
I am so sorry.

Uh, no, it's...
It's my fault.

I shouldn't have said anything.
I know you have a boyfriend.

Yeah, I do
and his name is... Winston.

His name's winston.

Here. Here. Take these.

Um... What if I asked my dad
for help?

Mayor hollingsworth?
No, he'd call the cops.

You can't tell him.
You have to promise me.

Fine, I promise,
but... What can I do?

Logan:
just... Do what you're doing.
Just be here.

(Truck rumbles to a halt)

(Gearshift clunks)

Zoe:
we're stopping.
Where do you think we are?

Grace:
his house, probably.

Zoe:
great. We followed the predator
back to his lair.

I wonder which one of us
he's gonna k*ll first.

Probably me,
no offense.

Grace:
none taken.

We're going to get out of here,
we just need to wait
until he gets into the house.

(Bain whistles tunelessly)

(Door closes,
window pops open)

Zoe: are we good:
grace: yeah.

Let's go.

Zoe and grace:
(grunting with effort)

Oh! My bracelet!
It says my name on it.

If it's in the van,
he'll find it.

Not if the police
find him first.

(Dialing beeps, ringing)

Operator:
nine-one-one,
what's your emergency?

Zoe:
I think I have some information
on that missing girl.

(Door closes,
approaching footsteps)

(Gasps awake)
what?

Jordyn:
I said I'd be home by ten,
didn't i?

Maya:
um, you said eight,
actually.

Jordyn: oh, crap.
Maya: (chuckles)

I hope you didn't have plans.

Just a movie date with
my boyfriend,
but we can reschedule.

I give them
a gorgeous record

And they come back and tell me
there isn't a single.

Mm. Oh, I hope you can take
a short break saturday.

Jordyn: what's saturday?
Maya: uh, the zombie walk.

My boyfriend really wants to go
and I've barely seen him
all summer

Because I've been working
twenty-four-seven.

I didn't realize you found
this job too demanding.

Maya:
oh, no, no, no.
Not at all.

Um, no, I love the job.
The kids are great,

And I'm learning
so much from you.

Good.

'Cause I know you wanna work
in music one day.

Maya:
more than anything.

Jordyn:
sacrifice is part of the game,
you know?

Stuff happens.

Which is why I need
dependable people.

I am dependable people.

But not saturday.

I'll... I'll tell zig
I can't make it.

Beautiful.

(Students chatter)

Zoe:
looks like bain is a no-show.

Grace:
so, should we tell the office
we need a new science teacher?

Or we could go to the beach
and play?

Together?

I mean, only if... You want.

Race you to the door?

(Door opens)

Mr. Bain:
not so fast, young scientists.

Zoe: oh no.
Tristan: oh yes.

Mr. Bain:
excuse my tardiness.

For some reason, the police
wanted to question me

About the disappearance
of gloria chin.

The frozen treat
princess?

Mr. Bain:
someone thought that...
I was responsible.

But, luckily, the police
didn't find any reason

To pursue their investigation.

(Video game music plays,
characters shout and scream)

Suck it, newb!

(Character grunts with effort,
video game bystanders shout)

(Tv shuts off)

Wha- what?!
(Angry breaths)

(Frightened gasp)
seriously?

I tried calling your name.
You didn't respond.

Yeah, because I was in
the middle of a game.

Frankie:
okay, that has a lot
of caffeine in it

And long term exposure could
definitely cause kidney damage.

Well, luckily I have a twin
that will be the perfect match.

And I would say yes
in a heartbeat.

You know that, right?

(Snorts) what do you want,
franks?

I need to borrow
your birthday money
from grandpa.

Hunter: you already spent
yours?
Frankie: no, I need more.

You need
ten thousand dollars?

Please, hunter? I wouldn't ask
if I had other options.

Oh my god,
you-you're pregnant!

This is why you've been
ignoring winston all summer!

(Amused) no!
Absolutely not.

And... I haven't been
ignoring him.

I've just been busy
with work.

Then why do you need
the money?

Frankie:
someone's in trouble.

Someone I care about,
and I need to help.

I don't know
what you want me to say.

Frankie:
yes.

Hunter:
(sighs)



(Nervous, shaky breaths)

Agh! Oh!
Grace, get off!

What are you doing?!

(Struggling grunts)

Grace: (laughing)
you said you wanted me
to teach you self defense.

Zoe:
I do, but it's pointless.

You're way stronger than me
and so is bain.

If the cops cleared him,
he's probably not the one
taking the girls.

Someone is,
and he's out there.

Grace:
which is why you should learn
to protect yourself.

Do you think I was born
this way?

Okay. Let's try this
one more time.

♪ I'm letting go
so lose control... ♪

Grace: ready?
Zoe: (sighs) sure.

Oh!
(Struggling grunts)

Grace:
nice one.

(Struggling grunt)

Zoe and grace:
(laughing)

Zombie walkers:
(growling and moaning)

Maya:
aaargh!

Maya: (laughs) hi.
Zig: oh ho-ho-ho.

Wow, dead looks good
on you.

Technically,
zombies are undead.

Zig:
oh, well, you can be
whatever you want

As long as I have you
to myself today.

(Kissing)

Everett: ew!
Lena: hi, zig!

(Sighs) about that...

(Sighs) you didn't ask
for the day off?

I did, it's just...
Jordyn needed me.

(Snorts, upset)

Try to be understanding.

Yeah, I have been, maya.
All summer.

But today was important.
We made plans.

Well, you think I wanna
spend twenty-four-seven
with these kids?

No. I would way rather
be with you.

But you care too much
about impressing your boss.

Come on,
don't be mad.

We can still have
loads of fun today.

I'm not mad.
I'm just... Disappointed.

Well, where are you going?

Zig: (sighs)
zombie walkers: (growling)

It's my day off, too.
I don't wanna spend it

Looking after
someone else's kids.

Where's your sister?

(Zombie walkers growl)

Waiting for me?

Don't worry. I'm not the one
who goes missing this summer.

(Gasps) oops!
I'm getting ahead of myself.

Now, where was i?
Oh, right.

The summer was getting hotter
and hotter...

(Laughs)
and hotter...

She's also hopelessly
in love with you.

Grace isn't gay.

(Laughs)
she doesn't dress like that
to impress guys.

Well, even if she is,
she knows I'm not.

Miles:
mm. You don't pick

Besides, I've been

Frankie:
any luck with the bank?

Logan:
when I asked for a loan,
they laughed in my face.

You know, that's why
I wanted to go into politics.

So I could make a difference
for the other percent.

Wow.

I respect that
and I respect you,

Which is why... Here.

What's this?

It's ten thousand
dollars.

This isn't from your dad,
is it?

I said I wouldn't tell
and I didn't.

Well, this feels weird.

Me taking money from you,
for her.

Where else are you
gonna get it?

I guess,
but I'm gonna pay you back.

You know that, right?
Uh, every cent.

Um... I don't know how,
but I will.

Just be safe, and text me
when you get home.

Logan:
yeah. Frankie...

Mmm...

You're the best girl
in the world.
You know that, right?

Maya: lena! Lena?
Everett: you lost my sister.

Maya:
I didn't lose her, okay?
I just misplaced her.

Think, maya.
If I were a ten-year-old,
where would I be?

Everett: ice cream!
Maya: not now, everett.

(Zombie walkers moan
and growl)

Maya:
(relieved sigh)
thank you.

I am so happy you're okay,
and you are so grounded!

Lena:
you wanted to spend the day
with zig.

I don't see why
you're so upset.

Maya:
because you could've
gotten hurt!

Lena:
and then my mom wouldn't
help you with your music.

I know that's the only reason
you took this job.

That's not true!

Okay,
it's a little true.

Lena:
I get it, okay? Nobody wants
to hang out with me.

Not you.
Not my mom.

She's just really busy
with this record right now.

But once that's done...

There'll be another one,
and another one.

Your mom loves you.
I know that.

Then she sure sucks
at showing it.

Mr. Bain:
who can know the distance
of an object far away?

We all can. How?

Grace:
by using the focal length
of our cameras.

Mr. Bain:
yes, and by following
the formula on this chalk
board.

Now, it's time to start putting
the theory into practice.

Grace: what?
Zoe: nothing.

Mr. Bain:
we'll start by measuring
your partner's height.

Come here.

Grace:
okay, you've been acting
like a weirdo since yesterday.

What gives?

It's miles... He uh...
Has this crazy theory

That you're in love
with me.

Wow.
This is embarrassing.

I would've said
something but-

Oh my god.

It's total bs.

Sounds like miles
has the hots for you.

Yeah, he keeps
asking me out.

Grace: do you like him?
Zoe: he looks good
in a bathing suit.

Sounds like true love.

Both: (laugh)
zoe: yeah, and what do you
know about that?

Grace:
you know that feeling you get
on a roller coaster,

Right before
you go over the hill?

Your heart's
in your throat.

You're excited,
but also terrified...

Grace: and then, whoosh!
Zoe: pure joy...
Until you get to the bottom

And then all you want
is more.

Grace:
once you've felt that way,
everything else is pointless.

Yeah, well... Miles and I barely
know anything about each other.

We haven't been friends
that long.

Grace:
neither have we and I know
all sorts of things about you.

Well, that's different.

Because I have ovaries?

No. Because...

I feel like
I've known you forever.

Better watch out,
drama.

Maybe you're the one
in love with me.

Jordyn: (singing)

Hey. Is that
the new single?

Jordyn:
yeah. It's not quite there yet,

But it's headed
in the right direction.

Maya:
cool. So um...

I guess that means
you have a minute?

Jordyn:
uh... Exactly one.

Then a conference call
with the studio.

What's up?

Okay. Um... Wow.

I think you need to spend
more time with your kids.

Jordyn: what?
Maya: sorry.

I was gonna ease into that
and then the time limit
made me panic.

Oh, can I just start over?
Or better yet,

Can you just forget
what I just said?

(Phone buzzes)

Jordyn:
give me five.

You picked an amazing time
to tell me how to parent.

No, no, no. That's not
what I meant to do.

Uh... Except, I guess,
it kind of was.

Okay, um... I guess
what I'm trying to say is...

I understand that
in order to be successful,

You need to make sacrifices,
but your kids don't...

(To herself)
neither does zig.

So what's your answer?
I stop working on this album?

I let someone else
take it over?

Maya: I don't know.
Jordyn: no, you don't.

'Cause you're a -year-old
girl who has no idea
about the real world.

Okay, well, I do know
that your kids are hurting.

You don't think
that's on my mind
all the time?

Well... Maybe we could come up
with a solution together.

Or maybe you could go.

Maya:
okay. I'm sorry.

Um... I'll see you tomorrow.

Jordyn:
no, you won't.

We're done here.

(Action movie music plays)



Winston:
don't go in the warehouse
alone!

(Girl in movie screams)

Winston:
why do people in thrillers

Always put themselves
in dangerous situations?

Sometimes they have
no other option.

Winston:
you always have another option.
Call the police.

Can we just shut up
and watch the movie?

Whoa! Someone didn't take
their happy pills today.

Frankie:
forget this stupid movie.

(Receding footsteps,
door opens and closes)

(Door opens and closes)

Hunter:
okay, obviously you're
stressed out about something,

But... You can't take it out
on winston.

Frankie:
I know. I'll try to be nicer.

Or you could just tell him
what's wrong,

Instead of leaving him
hanging.

I can't.

Because there's
another guy involved?

That's the "friend"
you borrowed the money for?

His name is logan and...

He needed the money
for his girlfriend.

Do you know how messed up
that sounds?

It was the only way
to keep her safe.

What were we supposed
to do?

Winston:
like I said...
You always go to the cops...

Unless you've got something
to hide.

Grace:
there's a food truck festival
tonight. Wanna check it out?

Zoe:
can't. Made plans.

Grace: with who?
Miles: greetings, nerds.

Zoe:
see you tomorrow?

(Door clicks open)

Miles:
so what finally got you
to call me?

I have a hypothesis
to test.

(Kiss)

Happy to be your lab rat.

(Students chatter,
door bangs shut)

(Mariachi music plays)

Zig:
well, we could boycott
her album.

Maya:
but it's gonna be
so, so good.

Zig:
then we'll only download it
illegally.

Maya:
(moans)

Come on,
look at the bright side, huh?

Now you get to spend all your
time at the beach with me.

That's true.

Zig:
nope! Not until I find
a breath mint though.

My lunch was pretty garlicky.
Maya: as if I care.

(Kiss)

Yeah, you should deal
with that.

Zig:
okay.

Maya:
(laughs) ugh.

(Low hum of chatter,
dishes clink)

Zig:
so my breath must've been
pretty bad, huh?

What's wrong? You look like
you just saw a ghost.

It wasn't a ghost.
It was gloria.

That's right.
She's baaa-aaack.
(Beep the camera off)

♪ I went to the beach
with my old... ♪

Maya:
good. You guys got my text!

You know, I'm hoping
"the help you need"

'Cause I'm kind of
an expert.

Tiny:
it's true.
He's got a magic touch.

Maya:
ooh, that's tempting,
but I have a better plan.

We're gonna find gloria.

You wanna spend
your first day off

Searching for
a missing girl?

Maya:
well, I saw her at lola's
last night,

So I know she's not missing.

You still think
I imagined it.

Because you feel responsible
about her disappearance.

I said some terrible things
to her.

Yeah, that doesn't mean
it's your fault.

You don't know that.

But I do know that
you'll do anything

To avoid spending time
with me.

Maya:
(sighs heavily)
well... Come on,

I'll be at the full moon party
tonight.

I'll believe it
when I see it.

Tiny:
don't worry.
I'll take care of zigmund.

You take care of yourself.

It's daylight and there
are loads of people around.

What could possibly happen?

A lot, maya. A lot.

Miles:
can you believe
that it was only a year ago

That we were having fun
in paris?

Zoe:
(snorts) fun? Is that what
you call being ditched
for maya matlin?

Whatever happened
between you two anyway?

Miles:
she was always trying
to change me.

Zoe:
and tristan didn't?

Miles:
no. He was just happy
to hang out.

Zoe:
and you were fine with the
whole boy kissing boy thing?

Love the person,
not the gender.

(Kissing)

I know what you're doing.

Zoe: you do?
Miles: yeah. Don't worry.

I'm not using you to figure out
how I feel about dudes.

Good. Because that
would be cruel.

So can we please stop
talking about my past

And focus on my present?

'Cause I can think
of way better things
we can do with our lips.

(Kissing)

Grace:
so this logan guy received
a video of his girlfriend

Promising her safe release
for ten thousand dollars?

Frankie:
as long as he didn't go
to the cops.

Tristan: and now he's missing?
Frankie: just like
his girlfriend.

Wait, you guys each got
five thousand dollars
for your birthday?

Can we please just finish
our science project?

Miles:
we'll make a sailor
out of you yet.

Zoe:
as long as I get to wear
the captain's hat.

I look very good
in hats.

You look good
in everything.

Zoe:
(giggles)

Grace:
can you guys please take
the pda somewhere else?

We're trying to get
some work done here.

Sorry.
Give me a sec.

Sorry about leaving.
I'll make it up to you.

Until you get a better offer
from some dude and ditch me.

It's not like that.

Of course it is.

Don't worry,
I'm used to it.

So let's just stop
pretending to be friends.

No.

Come to the full moon party
with me, tonight.

Aren't you going
with miles?

Yeah, but... We could go
all together.

And if you hung out
with us tonight,

You'd see that he's...
Not the worst.

Grace: okay.
Zoe: seriously?

But I can leave
whenever I want.

Deal.

I just wanna talk to you.

Gloria: go away, maya.
Maya: (frightened gasp)

No. Not until I know
that you're okay.

Gloria:
you shouldn't be here.
You'll only make things worse.

Maya:
I'm not leaving

I have my phone.
I'll call the police.

Somebody help us, please!

Heeeeeeeellllp!
Gloria: you're wasting
your time.

We're in the middle
of nowhere.

Besides,
you'll only make him mad.

Who's he?
Gloria: I don't know.
Some guy.

Some guy who kidnaps girls
and lets you run off
on your own?

Why didn't you run?

Because he knows
where I live.

He knows everything
about me.

Besides,
I've got nowhere to go.

After everything I've done,
no one would want me.

Maya:
oh my god, did...?

Did he hurt you?
Gloria: can we just not talk?

(Sighs heavily)



Zoe:
...was in her stupid
hot dog costume.

Miles:
okay, we need to try
and remember something else.

Zoe:
well, like what?
I don't know where she is!

Miles:
what did maya's mom say?
Shhh!

Zig:
(sighs heavily)
she hasn't heard from her.

I think she might call
the police.

This is my fault
for letting her go off alone.

Tristan: hey, don't worry.
Zig: how am I supposed
to not worry?!

My girlfriend is missing
and there's nothing
I can do about it.

Winston:
(snaps fingers) we should work
the social media angle.

Get the word out
on twitter and facerange.

Tristan:
hashtag-find-maya.
I like it.

Where did you last see her?
Zig: uh... At-at the beach.

But she was headed to lola's...

To find gloria chin.

Why do I always have
to get involved?

Zig's probably freaking out
right now.

And my mom?
She really doesn't need this.

Must be nice to have so many
people who care about you.

You have people
who care, too.

Yeah? Like who?

Those kids you babysat,
for starters.

Gloria: lena and everett?
Maya: yeah, they loved you.

Gloria: really?
Maya: especially lena.

I bet she'd be thrilled
to see you again.

I can't go back.

If we work together,
we can find a way out.

After all the crap
I did to you?

Everyone deserves
a second chance.

But first, we have to find
a way out of here.

(Sighs heavily)

Miles:
twitter's catching on.

Tristan:
hey, you don't think bain
did this, do you?

Well, he was in class today
so it had to be someone else.

Can... Can you call grace
and check that she's okay?

Tristan: I'm sure she's fine.
Zoe: but what if she's not?

There's someone out there
taking girls.

Omg. You love her.

Zig:
okay, look, I can't just
sit here and do nothing.

We should go out
and look for her.

Tristan:
okay, well,
I know the first person

I'd want to be part
of a search party.

Rhymes with "mace..."

Which she probably has
in her purse.

(Chair crashes)
maya: ungh!

(Chair smashes,
maya grunts)

Gloria:
so what exactly
is this escape plan?

(Maya smashes the chair,
pieces clatter)

Maya:

worried about me.

And when he least
expects it,

You're gonna hit him

And hard.

Hey! We're all trying
to find maya. Gonna help?

What if I never
see him again?

Winston?
He's just in the other-

Oh... You mean
the other guy.

Frankie:
I keep texting
and there's no response.

You could always
just call.

(Phone rings)

Logan: frankie?
Frankie: logan?

Is that you?
Are you okay?

Logan:
uh... I'm so glad you called.

Um, the cops aren't with you,
are they?

Frankie: no,
but I can call them.
Logan: oh, no, no. Don't...

Don't do that.
It's just um...

I stuck my neck out for her,
franks,

Uh, and she turned on me.

Frankie:
gloria?

Logan:
yeah, because of that
other girl.

Frankie: what other girl?
Logan: nevermind.

I-i need a little more money.

Not much. Uh-uh-um... Just...
Just five thousand dollars.

Frankie:
so it was all a scam?
You used me?

Logan:
oh, are we seriously
gonna do this right now?

I'm sorry.
I don't have time for this.

Frankie:
I thought you um...

Logan:
what, that I loved you?
That I wanted to be with you?

You're just some stupid
rich girl

Looking for a little
excitement.

'Kay, well, you got what
you wanted, didn't you?

Gloria:
help! I need your help!
(Banging on door)

Please! Please! Help!
(Banging on door)

(Door lock unlatches)
she just... Collapsed.

Logan:
what the hell?!
What're you doing?!

Gloria:
I don't know!
I want this to be over!

Logan:
yeah?! So did i!

But you this dumb blonde
follow you here.

We were-we were so close
to getting away with this.

Maya:
we?

You two staged
the kidnapping?!

Now who's the dumb one?

Why did I go along
with your stupid plan
in the first place?

Logan:
so we could be together

Without your parents
trying to break us up!

Where do you think
you're going?

Maya:
no, no, no. Please.
You can still be together,
just let me go.

Logan:
yeah? How can I trust you?!
I can't trust anybody!

Logan, please.
We still have the money,
we can just run away.

Logan:
ten thousand dollars
is not gonna get us far
with the cops on our tail.

There's gotta be a way
we can get outta this.

Logan:
yeah.

We need to get rid
of her.

Maya:
(shaky breath)

Miles:
we've printed off
some pics of maya.

Zig:
perfect. Let's go.

Winston:
no, wait.
The city's huge.

How're we gonna cover
all that territory?

Grace:
you've got one more
body now.

Zoe: you came?
Grace: of course.

Maya's my friend.

Zig:
okay, where-
where do we even start?

Frankie:
I might have an idea.

I talked to logan.
That's gloria's boyfriend.

He mentioned another girl.

Miles: maya?
Frankie: I think so.
He sounded desperate.

Zig:
w-what's this guy
even capable of?

Frankie:
I don't know. Obviously,
I didn't know him at all.

Grace:
give me your phone.

We might be able to figure out
his exact location.

Come on, come on, come on...

Damn, his phone's off.

Hunter:
okay, what about that video
asking for the money?

Can we lift any information
off that?

Frankie:
I don't have a copy,
but it looked like it was
filmed in a warehouse.

Tristan:
that sounds like the place
gloria films
her frozen treat videos.

Gloria: (on video)
today's s'mores-inspired
frozen treat recipe

Comes from samantha
in new jersey.

Frankie:
wait, is that the cn tower?

Zoe:
if we can find out
the focal length on the camera
that she used,

We can figure out how far away
from the cn tower she was
when she filmed it.

Grace:
using that formula
we learned in science class.

Nice.

But how do we find
the focal length?

Zoe:
well, she probably sh**t
her videos on a smartphone.

(Computer keys clack)

Grace:
which has a focal length of...
. .

And the height of
the cn tower is...

. Metres.

Zoe:
so when she filmed it,
she was...

. Kilometres away,
facing east.

(Beeping)

Grace: the bluffs.
Zoe: that's close
to the old sugar factory.

Zig: w-w-we should go.
Winston: no.

We should call the cops.

(Door opens)
hey, we need to go now.

(Bag rustles)

Gloria:
what about maya?

Logan:
we'll tie her up,
then leave her in the woods.

We'll be long gone
by the time they find her.

Gloria:
she could die.
We can't do that.

Maya: agreed.
Logan: shut up!
This doesn't concern you!

Maya: that's debatable.
Logan: I said, shut up, okay?

(Maya struggles)
logan: 'kay, move!

Maya:
(screaming) help me!

'Kay, gloria! I'll get the car,
you finish tying her up.

Maya:
(crying) gloria,
please don't do this.

(Crying)
please...

(Shaky breaths)

Male officer:
this is the police!

Female officer:
we're coming in!

Male officer:
you! Get on the ground!
I said get on the ground! Now!

Logan:
okay! Okay!
I didn't hurt them!

Female officer:
get on the ground!

Male officer: clear!
(Sirens wail outside)

(Crying tears of relief)

Mr. Hollingsworth:
there we go...
Now, thanks to this class,

We brought your friend
home safely.

If I had my way,
I would give you all a's.

Mr. Bain: (laughs)
mr. Hollingsworth: mr. Bain?

Mr. Bain:
uh... Oh, very good,

But I think we will rely
on the performances
from your final exams.

(Everyone claps)

Tristan:
okay.

Zoe: hi, mr. Bain.
Mr. Bain: hey.

Zoe:
I know I haven't been
the easiest student,

But... I wanted you to know
that I learned a lot.

Mr. Bain:
uh, obviously.

You cracked the gloria chin
case before I did.

I fancy myself
an amateur gumshoe.

That's why you had
all those missing girl files
in your truck.

Mr. Bain:
mm-hmm.

I think this belongs
to you.

Zoe:
(chuckles softly)

I am... So sorry
I called the cops.

Mr. Bain:
apology accepted.

Just remember that appearances
can be deceiving.

It's always best
to trust your gut.

people chatter)

Can we talk?

Logan was a jerk.
But you're not.

Which is why I'm hoping
you'll give me second chance?

Winston: at what, frankie?
Frankie: us, obviously.

There's no us anymore.

Frankie:
winston, come on.
It's not like I cheated.

Winston:
not with your lips.

But what you did...
Was way worse.

So I'm done talking.

Like, forever.



Maya:
ooh... You're holding me
so tight.

Zig:
and I'm never letting go.

Have I told you how happy I am
to have you in my life?

Maya:
only like a million times.

I wish everyone
was so lucky.

You're thinking of gloria?

Maya:
if she had had good people
in her life,

She wouldn't be headed
to juvey right now.

(Sighs) oh, I just don't
want the same to happen
to those kids I babysat for,

Which is why I sent
their mom a message
begging for my job back.

You'll save the world,
maya matlin.

(Kissing)

Everett: ew!
Lena: hi, zig!

Maya:
what're you guys
doing here?!

Jordyn:
it took some time...

But I realized
you were right.

Uh, I can babysit again?
I'll be free when school
starts.

Jordyn:
ah, you might not.

I was hoping you could
help me out in the studio,

Digitizing files and stuff,
so I can spend some more time
with the kids.

Maya:
(squeals excitedly)

Zig:
I think that's a yes.

Jordyn:
(laughs)

Maya:
(breathy) yes!

The end.

Oh, um...

Except for one thing.

(People chatter and shout,
waves lap at the shore)

You seem all far away.

Well, because there's
one more thing we need to do
before summer's over.

♪ Can you come closer...
(Closer...) ♪

♪ And show me that you're mine ♪

♪ (That you're mine,
that you're mine) ♪

♪ I'm looking for some closure
(closure...) ♪

♪ 'Cause we've been dancing
all night ♪

♪ So tell me if it's real ♪
(record scratches abruptly)

(Sighs) that didn't happen.
But this did.

You seem all far away.

(People chatter,
seagulls cry)

There's one thing I need
to do before summer's over.

(Takes a deep breath)

(People chatter,
waves lap at the shore)

(Waves lap,
seagulls cry)

I'm sorry for
calling you names...

And for acting
like a total idiot.

We don't have to do this.

We can accept that
we're not meant be friends.

You are the most frustrating
person I have ever met.

You make fun of me
all the time. You tell me
I'm wrong. You...

You see the real me.

The girl I try so hard
to hide, and you like her.

I'm sure other people
would too.

Sometimes you make me feel
so special and...

I'm scared that if I lose you,
I'll never feel that way again.

(Kissing)

(People chatter,
waves lap)

Zoe:
don't say anything.

I've rushed things before
and I don't wanna rush this.

School starts in a week.
Let's talk then.

♪ Can you come closer
(closer...) ♪

♪ And show me
that you're mine ♪

♪ (That you're mine,
that you're mine...) ♪

♪ I'm looking for some closure

baby ♪

♪ Tell me if it's not ♪

♪ (Not, not, not,
tell me if it's not...) ♪

♪ This is how I feel, baby, ♪

♪ I hope it never stops
(never stops, stops, stops...) ♪

(Record scratches abruptly,
tristan sniffles)

Ah. Sorry. I am just a sucker
for a happy ending.

But it's not over.

You want real drama?

Come back when school starts.
It only gets crazier.

Trust me.

Your new bestie, tris.
