[tour guide] Students
of Spectral Valley High...
Eos was the goddess of dawn
and Tithonus was just a mortal.
Yet they fell in love.
Eos asked Zeus to bless her
lover with eternal life
so that Tithonus too
could be immortal.
But she forgot to ask Zeus
to also grant Tithonus
eternal youth.
He kept aging and aging forever.
Miss Jenkins. Pay attention.
Devastated...
Eos eventually accepted
she had to let Tithonus go.
Such a tragic story
and such a beautiful sculpture.
- Don't you all agree, class?
- [plucks string]
Shall we move on?
Let's misbehave
[Nelson] Why did you touch that?
[Bea] Because it's old and beautiful
and full of mystery.
Oh. Was it everything you
thought it was going to be?
It was.
- [teacher] Class, right this way.
- [Bea] Hey. Listen.
What do you suppose
is over there?
[Nelson] A sign that says,
"do not enter."
[Bea] Exactly.
Let's have an adventure.
Come on. Let's go see.
Bea. Why is it that the second you're told
you're not allowed to do something
is the second you decide
you simply have to do it?
I'm going.
Wet blanket.
[intriguing music]
[mysterious music]
Hey! You there.
What are you doing in here?
Learning about Egypt.
This area's off-limits.
The whole wing
is being renovated.
Didn't you see the sign?
A sign you say.
What kind of sign?
I'm almost positive I...
I definitely, probably did not
see a sign, I think.
Are you sure there is one?
Yeah.
You're with the school, right?
Mm-hm.
Come on. Let me take you
back to your group.
Okay, okay. I'll go with you.
But...
Can you just close your eyes
for five seconds?
It's a magic trick.
It's a really good one.
Come on. Let's go.
I should've stayed
on night shift.
[tour guide] Thank you for visiting
the Spectral Valley Museum.
We hope you've had an
enlightened experience.
Orderly now. Everyone follow me.
Quickly. Quickly.

My girl, oh my God
My girl's just a little uptight, yeah
Takes drugs just to be fine
Tightrope walkin' all the time...
So? What do you think, Cole?
Cole?
Cole?
- Cole!
- Hmm?
Uh, sorry. What?
I asked what you think.
Uh... I... I like it.
It's, um... you know, ageless,
classic like apple pie.
Sergeant Pepper's.
[sighs] I think we're gonna be
really happy here. Right?
Mm-hm.
[cat meows]
Yes, Norman, that's right.
[cat meows]
Yes, we are.
[cat meows]
[cat purrs]
[skeptical music]
[Catarina] Thank you guys.
That...
Yes. Please put the boxes
over there.
Oh, those boxes go
in the bedroom.
[jazz music playing]
Yes, take those downstairs
to the basement.

[upbeat Hispanic music]
So... are you excited
about school tomorrow?
No one's ever been excited
about school ever, Mama.
You're right, it's high school.
It's meant to be miserable
by design.
What are you doing?
Right now I'm just unenrolling
from choir and chess club.
You're opting out of
all the school groups.
Even the music ones?
You used to love band
back in the city.
I'm fine. Really.
It'd be good for you
to make some friends.
Put yourself out there.
And practice music again.
You've barely touched
your guitars since...
Mama, can we not. Please.
I'm just saying,
it feels like you...
[thumping sound]
Was that Norman?
[cat meows]
[Catarina]
Everything okay up there?
Yeah, Mama. Everything's fine.
Is that your dad?
Hey!
I was talking to you.
They never answer back.
[cat meows]
[cat hisses]
Oh, sure. You can see me.
["Oysters In My Pocket"
by Royel Otis playing]
We're saving for lunch
Not that we are shellfish
We just haven't learnt much
Oh well that's miles away...
[school bell ringing]
Eckleburg's eyes...
ever watchful like the eyes
of God over American society.
Over Tom and Myrtle's affair.
Over Nick's passiveness.
And yes, over Gatsby's lavish
parties which made their way
into the collective
consciousness of a nation.
Our newest arrival,
Mr. Cole Sanchez.
Tell us, what do you think the
parties in the book represent?
Um...
I, uh... I haven't read
the book yet.
Anyone else?
No one?
Come on.
[sighs]
If you kids cannot be bothered
to read a book
starring Leonardo DiCaprio,
what chance does this literature
have with this generation?
[school bell rings]
Alright. Um... guys, please
go over what we reviewed today.
Don't forget,
ten more pages to read.
Thank you.
[sighs]
Mr. Sanchez...
Why did you lie? Hmm?
Why did you say you didn't read
the book?
I just, um...
I don't know.
I was a bit like you growing up.
Kept my opinions to myself.
Hated being in the spotlight.
Did everything I could
to be invisible.
It is a very boring way
to live your life.
[students chattering]
There's death around you.
Excuse me?
Your bread.
There's a hole in it.
Okay.
A small hole is fine,
that's just an air bubble.
But a hole that big...
that means death.
Does it mean, like,
I'm going to die? Or...
Could be that.
Could be someone who's already dead
is having influence in your life.
Hmm.
I'm Lydia.
We have Mr. Porter together.
Uh...
Cole.
You should let me cleanse
your aura some time.
Figure out if something's
haunting you or whatever.
Sure.
My grandpa owns the only
supernatural bookstore in town.
Plus I have a YouTube channel
if you wanna learn more about
this kinda stuff.
May I?
Been posting regularly
for two years now.
So you've had this channel
for two years
but you only have
12 subscribers?
It's a niche market.
No, yeah. Yeah.
Thanks.
Oh, boy. You ate the hole.
Is that bad?
I don't know.
Don't be mad at me
if you're cursed though.

Huh.
Hmm.
That's private, mister.
Okay. This is going away.
[birds chirping]
Aye! Oh, my...
[mysterious music]
Hmm.
Whoa. Is that the ring
I took from the...?
- Ah!
- Oh!
Oh, my God. You just saw me,
didn't you?
You just saw me! You just saw...
[ring clatters]
[panicked breathing] Okay.
There. It's the ring.
When you put it on you...
Okay. Can you please stop that?
It's very annoying.
- No. No. No. Nuh-uh.
- [ring clatters]
Oh no, no, no, no.
This cannot be happening.
This is not real.
Okay. Okay. Okay...
Can you please just keep
the ring on this time?
Please?
Thank you.
Hi. I'm Bea.
I haunt your bedroom.
You have to say something.
- So you're a ghost?
- Correct.
Like, as in that you were but,
like, no longer are...
Well, I suppose I still am.
Just... immaterial now.
I can touch things if I focus
just not living people.
Fine.
So you're... you're dead.
But, like...
how did you come back?
I'm not sure exactly.
[Bea] I was at this museum.
That's where I found the ring.
And then when I was walking out
I was hit by a car.
- [gasps]
- [gasps]
Oh, my God, Bea!
You were hit by a car?
It was a doozy.
Yeah, I'm sure.
No, I remember it.
It was a doozy.
A Duesenberg? The car.
I don't think they have those
around anymore.
In any case, when I was alive
they were the eel's hips.
The bee's knees.
The berries.
You're just saying words.
Just... random words.
Duesenberg cars were
very special, is what I mean.
In any case, I was hit by one,
and then the next thing I know
I'm in my bedroom.
Well... our bedroom now.
I don't know what happened
in between.
You know, from me to the car
to that moment,
it was a blink of an eye.
[Bea] After a while, I figured out
that I was one... trapped here.
For Pete's sake.
- Spacious dining room.
- And two, not exactly material.
The house comes with
this original Tiffany pendant.
There's also me.
The house comes with me.
Did you feel a chill?
[real estate agent] There's just so much
to love about this house.
It's close to the city,
it's a great school district
and the neighborhood
is great for kids.
House is haunted by the way.
[Bea] Eventually I just
kind of accepted.
[floorboards creaking]
Old house.
Accepted it.
Yeah.
That I'm a ghost
and I'm haunting this place
and that no one could hear me
or see me.
Well...
until you now.
[knocking on door]
- Cole.
- Mom!
[Bea] She can't see me.
Are you ready for school?
Yeah. Yeah. I'll be right down.
Are you okay?
You look a little pale.
Yeah, like you've seen
a ghost or something.
Okay, sorry. Silly joke,
poor timing.
Uh... yeah. No. I'm... I'm fine.
Okay, well hurry up.
I've gotta get going.
Okay.
Do you go to Spectral Valley High?
Because that's where I went
to school too.
I'm leaving now.
Okay, well, I'll be here
when you get back.
Not like I have a choice anyway.
No. You won't be.
You won't be here
because ghosts aren't real
and obviously I'm hallucinating.
So, you won't be here
when I get back
and I will find a good
psychiatrist in the area.
But other than that, it was nice
meeting you Bea.
It would really just be easier
if you got past the denial
stage fast...
Seriously, the sooner
you can move past it.
Nope.
Nope, nope, nope.
Nope.
West Egg, East Egg.
Gatsby, Daisy.
Separated by just a tiny stretch
of water.
So close yet each belonging
to a different world entirely.
So, like... did they eat eggs
together or something?
- [class laughing]
- What?
[school bell rings]
Alright. The bells of freedom
have rung.
Oh, oh... before I forget.
For those of you
who are interested,
the fall talent show enrollment
is now open.
So, start practicing.
You can sing, you can dance.

any more lawsuits.
Neither can I.

[somber music]

[laughs]
[sighs]
Okay.
- Boo.
- [screams]
- [Bea] Hey!
- Oh, my God. You're still here?
Yes, I'm still here.
Come on. Can't you be happy
to see me?
I'm happy to see you.
Although it's true,
I have been unusually starved
for companionship lately.
I thought I was hallucinating
and I was so relieved
that you were not real.
Well, that's just rude.
What were you even doing
in there?
I was trying to see if I could
find any of my old things.
You kept my record collection
and I want you to know
I appreciate that.
Why is this happening to me?
You are making such a big hoopla
and you're not even
the one who's dead.
Okay. Fine. You're real,
I get it.
You can't leave the house.
Correct?
Believe me, I tried.
Okay. If we're both gonna live
in this bedroom...
Is "live" the right word here?
Okay, "share" this bedroom,
then the least we can do
is just stay out
of each other's way.
What does that mean?
It means we go on about our business
and act like the other one doesn't exist.
Just like before I found this
stupid ring.
Or... suppose we bond.
And solve crimes together.
- I'm taking this off now.
- Okay, okay. Wait, wait, wait.
Can't we just talk?
And be friends?
I mean, I haven't had someone
to talk to in a while.
I'm not really in the market
for dead friends.
Okay. Fine. Totally jake.
I don't care, never did.
Still don't.
Great, great. Okay.
Well, it was nice knowing you,
Bea. Goodbye.
Okay.
Okay, okay.
Okay.
What are you doing?
Who is this pretty lady?
It's Taylor Swift.
Taylor Swift.
Is she a family friend?
What? No.
She... she's a pop star.
Pop star?
A famous musician.
She's a musician?
Yup. All these posters
are musicians.
Oh.
I wonder what they sound like.
So, uh... So you like music?
Are you kidding me?
Music is my life, so to speak.
I mean, both of my parents
were musicians
and I basically grew up
in a conservatory.
Hmm.
I saw your guitar back there.
Do you play?
Uh... not anymore.
How come?
I just don't. Um...
but look, can you...
can you stop moving things
around and making things float?
It's really creepy
and I have homework due.
Thank you.
[sighs]
[Catarina] So...
- how are the new friends?
- Thank you.
Uh... what?
I heard you talking
in your bedroom last night.
I assume you were online with
your new friends from school?
Uh... yeah, that's, uh,
what it was.
New friends. Totally alive.
Do you have the salt?
Um... I don't see it.
[screams]
Um... [clears throat]
High blood pressure.
[clears throat]
Salt is so bad for you.
[scoffs]
Since when are you so worried
about my blood pressure?
[somber music playing]
Cole.
I'm not gonna die.
You can relax.
I know what happened
with your dad made us...
No, no, no, no.
That's not what this was.
It's okay, I'm fine.
We're... we're fine.
You know what? Have the salt.
Have as much salt as you want.
It's okay.
I know it's hard, Cole.
But... we can talk about it.
We should talk about it.
I think.
Don't you?
I, uh...
[sighs]
I know what you're going to say
but I was just trying to help
your mom find the salt.
- I'll keep the ring on, okay?
- What?
Alright. But you need to stop
haunting my mom and I mean it.
Okay? She has enough
going on already
and the last thing she needs
to deal with
is a century old ghost
haunting her house.
So, when I'm around we could
hang out and chill, or whatever.
But if I'm not and she is,
you need to stay quiet.
Deal?
No idea what hang out or chill
means, but sounds good.
Okay. Great.
Wait.
What do you mean,
"century old ghost"?
Um... you did say
that when you died
to when you returned
was like a blink of an eye.
So technically you're still 17.
I mean, at most,
like 17 and a half.
Sorry. [clears throat]
How much time did you think
had passed?
I don't know.
Twenty, thirty years.
I assumed some time
because you dress funny and
my family isn't around anymore.
But not a century.
I mean, still.
What did I miss?
What did you miss
in the past 100 years?
Yes. You have to
tell me everything.
I mean, it's not like I can exactly
go out and see things myself.
I'm trapped here, remember?
[hopeful music]
Okay. Go.
[chuckles] Okay.
Come on.
- Come on.
- Okay.
You can do it.
[hopeful music]
I'm out. I'm out of the house!
Wait. How?
I don't know.
It must be the ring.
I'm not trapped by the house,
I'm trapped by that thing
on your finger.
Wherever the ring goes I can go.
Oh, my God! Fresh air.
I mean, I assume it's fresh.
I can't really breathe it in,
but still.
Oh, this is exciting.
Oh, I can go everywhere.
I can see everything.
You have to take me.
Where?
Everywhere.
Everywhere is like a lot
of places. I mean...
No, no, no. I don't
wanna hear it, mister.
Look... I know you don't like me
very much because I'm a ghost,
which okay, fair enough.
But I don't care.
You are just going to have to
suck it up and take me places
because I have been trapped
inside this whole time.
I need you to.
Okay, okay, okay.
I'll take you wherever
you wanna go. Just chill.
I still don't know
what that word means.
But thanks.
So...
Where do you wanna go first?
[upbeat music]
- Okay, ready? Guys, smile.
- What are they doing?
Uh... just taking a selfie.
[chuckles]
What's a selfie?
It's like a picture
that you take of yourself.
What?
[skateboarder] Heads up!
- He's going so fast!
- [laughs] Yeah.
What is that?
Uh... it's a... it's a drone.
A drone?
Yup.
Is he controlling it?
Yeah, with his...
with his hands.
Oh... what, do you want some?
It's not fair. I miss food.
It's so good.
Oh, Duke Ellington.
Jelly Roll Morton.
Oh, Ethel Waters!
In the '30s Big Band and Swing
came around, right?
And then in the '40s it was
basically the same people
from those bands
but by themselves.
That's actually when
Frank Sinatra got really big.
- Frank who?
- Frank Sinatra.
See?
And you swing your arms
like this.
You ready?
Show me what I missed.
[upbeat jazz music playing]
So the cool thing about punk rock
is that it's super easy to play.
It's only, like, three chords.
It doesn't feel like
it's about complexity though.
Mm-hm.
Like this with the hands. See?
You don't know how to dance
the Charleston, do you?
So that's a telephone.
And it has every song
ever recorded?
Mm-hm.
Tell it to Sweeney.
I don't know who that is.
This is Bad Bunny.
Oh! This is Frank Ocean.
Channel Orange.
This is an amazing album.
R&B and Bebop came out of nowhere
and that was, like, um...
Ray Charles and Coltrane.
And then Chuck Berry was basically
inventing rock and roll, right?
And in the '60s
the British came.
Oh, and then these are some
of the British classics.
This is The Beatles and then
this is the amazing David Bowie.
David Bowie?
Yes. Yes. David Bowie
is so cool.
Cool?
Um... like the bee's knees.
- Oh.
- Yeah.
- Cool.
- Yeah.
- Cool.
- Rolls off the tongue.
- Cool.
- Cool.
Hey. Whatcha looking at?
Didn't they have planes back
in your time?
Not like this.
They're everywhere now.
Growing up I loved them.
They were this shiny, new magical thing
everyone was talking about.
You know, I used to dream
that I was going to become
a pilot one day.
I suppose not seriously
or anything, but...
Wait, why not?
No, I'm serious.
You totally could've.
I'm a girl.
How many girl pilots are there?
I mean, Amelia Earhart
was the cat's pajamas
- but other than her...
- Exactly.
You totally could've
been like Amelia Earhart.
I mean, granted you wouldn't
want to end up like her.
What happened to Amelia Earhart?
She... she died.
Um... but... old and happy
and surrounded by
the people she loved.
I just wish I could at least
see one up close one day.
[quiet music]
I gotta ghost... go... go.
I was, um... go to bed.
I was trying to say that.
Uh... I gotta go to bed.
I have school
in the morning, so...
What if you took me with you?
What, to like... to school?
No, no, no, no, no, no...
Come on, why not?
I went to Spectral Valley High too.
I wanna see what the school
looks like in the future.
Bea, look... it's one thing
to bring a ghost around town
but high school is haunting enough
without an actual haunting going on.
So... no.
Please.
Please.
Please, please,
please, please, please.
Look, there's literally nothing
you can say
that will change
my mind on this.
It's incredible!
I mean, it looks exactly
the same as when I went here.
Except for the people.
The people look very different.
You know, I saw a girl
with green hair before.
Do you suppose she's okay?
[student] Ooooh.
Wait, are they supposed
to be ghosts?
Cole! Hi.
Oh, my God!
[growls] You like it?
- Lydia?
- Who else?
What the hell are
you supposed to be,
a materialized panic attack?
I'm a Wendigo.
Well, whatever it is,
it's horrifying.
Thank you.
Why aren't you wearing
a costume?
Oh, I am.
I'm a 17-year-old boy who
doesn't like to wear costumes.
- You're nailing it.
- Yeah.
Are you doing anything
for the talent show?
I was gonna put my name down.
I came up with
this new apparatus
that can detect vampiric
activity after dark.
Hmm.
I wanna show people, but...
I don't think my peers
are ready for that yet.
Yeah, but...
You know? I don't know
how to feel about these kids
dressed as ghosts
but I think I'm offended.
[laughs] [clears throat]
Who's this canceled stamp?
- Well, you know...
- She your girlfriend?
[clears throat] Uh...
- Cole?
- Sorry, what?
Uh, no. I was just saying
that vampires at the talent show
might be, uh...
might be a bit much.
Wait. Is she your girlfriend?
Maybe?
Whoa. I'm getting the weirdest
vibe from you right now.
Coming from right around here.
Okay. That's uncomfortable.
Oh, that's probably nothing.
Absolutely nothing.
Whoa, what is that?
Can I see it?
Oh, it's just a ring.
Just a regular degular old ring.
I, uh, found it at my house,
thought it'd make me look cool.
It didn't, so...
Weird.
Yeah. No, no, nothing weird
going on here.
Just a very normal guy that,
uh, normal things happen to.
Anyways, uh, is there anything else
you wanna talk about, Lydia?
'Cause if not, I'm just gonna get going
'cause I have a... a thing to do.
No? Cool. Alright,
I will see you later.
Wait. Did you take
my pinky with you?
Okay.
When I'm with living people,
you really gotta chill out. I...
Bea?
[piano playing softly]
Hey.
Hi.
[strumming guitar]
- What key are you in?
- G.
Okay.
Go ahead.
[piano playing softly]

Magical artifacts of history.
Episode 09. "The Lover's Rings".
The story of "The Lover's Rings"
starts in ancient Egypt...
[keyboard clicking]
Score.
[narrator] But the rings
aren't just magical...
They are cursed!
Wait. What?
[narrator] A priest cursed the
rings during the lover's burial
so that in death
they would never part.
The curse states that the one
who separates the rings
will be destined to suffer
a violent death soon after...
and then be cursed
to wander the earth forever,
bound to the stolen ring
until it's once again
returned with its pair.
Cursed.
Okay. Louis Armstrong
and Billie Eilish.
That's a good one.
- How about Cole Porter...
- Okay.
And...
Post Malone.
Eh... Okay, okay, okay.
I'd go, I'd go.
I'd go to that concert for sure.
[laughs]
Can I ask you something?
Hmm.
Why aren't you playing the guitar
at your school talent show?
You play really well.
I just, um...
I haven't played or written
anything ever since, uh...
In a long time.
Did your dad teach you
how to play?
Yeah.
You know how most people
stick to one genre? Right?
My dad would go from Pavarotti
to Santana to Bossa Nova
to Public Enemy in one night.
[laughs]
He just... he loved all of it.
Music was his life.
What happened to him?
Heart attack.
Just out of the blue.
One day he was here
and then he wasn't.
I'm sorry.
It's okay.
I'm fine.
[exhales]
Sometimes I think
about why I'm still here
when other people
who've died are not.
And then I think maybe
I'll never know.
And... I'll just be here
watching as living people
get old and die again and again,
forever and ever.
I do miss home though.
My friends, my family.
My whole life.
Sometimes I wish I could
just go back.
Just for a day only.
Feel like I belong
for a little while.
[children] Trick or Treat!
[sighs]
Halloween.
I can see that.
[laughs]
[groans]
Did you know it also happens to
be the anniversary of my death?
- Really?
- Yes, sir.
That's the day
mister doozy made me go...
[blows raspberry]
We should celebrate.
When was the last time
that you went to New York City?
Da, da, da, da
Da, da, da, da,
Da, da, da, da
Da, da, da, da,
Da, da, da, da
Da, da, da, da,
There's a man across
The street
With the best smile
I've ever seen...
Cole!
Where on earth
are you taking me?
Can you please tell me
where we're going?
It's a surprise.
We're almost there, come on.
Is this it?
Shh. Just wait, just wait.
[patron] Great, thanks a lot.
[Bouncer]
Alright, let them through.
[bouncer] Okay, you folks ready?
Follow me.
[indistinct conversation]
What is this place?
You'll see. [laughs]
Okay. You ready?
Yes.
[jazz music playing]
How?
Well, you said you wanted to feel like
you were back at home for a day.
How? When did you do this?
It's called a Gatsby party.
It's a thing.
Do you like it?
I love it.
- Oh!
- [grunts] Whoops, sorry!
Are you... are you okay?
Yeah. I...
You're holding me.
I am.
Hey. Cool hat. Nice!
How's this happening?
I don't know.
I don't know.
But Cole I'm alive.
[laughs]
Tonight, I'm alive.
[champagne cork pops]
[crowd cheering]
[laughter]
How am I alive?
And... and material and visible.
[stutters] I don't know. I...
How do you feel?
Wet.
[laughs]
First time this dress has seen
any action in 100 years
and it's already ruined.
Just my luck.
Um... I think I saw a costume
rental spot downstairs.
Follow me.
[both laughing]
[music ends]
[romantic music]
Bea... wow.
It's not really me, is it?
You look, um...
Cool?
The bee's knees.
[song ends]
[host] How about this band?
Aren't they swell?
Now please, welcome to the stage
Frank and Stephanie.
[jazz music playing]
[laughing]
[cheering and applause]
[host] Wow!
Alright!
- Whoo!
- [whistles]
[host] Flapper and dapper gents,
that was Frank and Stephanie
starting off our Charleston
dance competition.
And they look like a tough act to follow
but let's give it a try.
Who's up next?
Right here.
Uh... no.
Lady with the very
realistic hairdo,
come on up with your partner.
No, no, no. Bea. Do you
not remember that we do not know
how to dance Charleston?
So? We don't have
to win the thing.
No, no, no. Bea, Bea. Bea.
I can't.
Not in front
of all these people.
Are you really going to deny a lady
her first dance in almost a century?
That is such a cheap shot.
Okay. Okay.
Hello there.
What's your name bearcat?
- Bea.
- [nervously chuckles]
And this handsome sailor
right here is Cole.
Alright. Bea and Cole everybody.
[cheers and applause]
So what do we do now?
Just... dance.
But we don't know
what we're doing.
[jazz music playing]
Come on. You have to do it too,
otherwise, it's just silly.
[sighs]
This is so not the Charleston.
Just get into it.
[indistinct chattering]
This is literally the most
embarrassing moment of my life.
Like, nothing even comes
close to this.
Just let yourself go.
Who cares what they think?
[indistinct chattering]
Oh!
[laughing]
[romantic music]
When I was growing up, my parents
used to play ballrooms like that
with their band.
It was... it was their job.
And I had to come along
every time
because they didn't have
anyone to leave me with.
Those are some of the happiest
memories I have.
Of... back then. Just...
sitting there in the corner
by the stage
watching my parents play.
And people dance and chat
and have fun.
The lights, the sounds.
Everything just felt so alive.
And that's how I felt tonight
too. I felt alive.
And then, of course, you decided
to take me to a cemetery.
Which, you know,
is a bit lacking in tact
considering I'm a ghost. So...
- [laughs]
- I'm just wondering why you...
what is that noise?
Just wait for it,
keep looking straight ahead.
Hang on. Hang on.
[airplane engines roar]
[gasps]
[laughs]
You said you wanted to see one
up close, so...
So, like... why airplanes?
I look at them
and I see freedom.
To go where I want when I want.
Wherever I want.
You know, live adventures.
See the world, every little
corner of it.
Whenever I feel like it.
Well...
Where do you wanna go now?
There's nowhere else
I wanna be right now.
I'm... I'm sorry, Bea.
- [phone beeps]
- [Lydia] Cole. It's Lydia.
Can you drop by the bookstore
after school?
It's really important.
Hey, Cole.
Come, I gotta show
you something.
This ring.
This is the ring you were
wearing at school the other day.
Is it not?
- I guess.
- It is. I knew it.
I knew there was death around you
from the first time I saw you.
I am awesome at this!
So what does this mean?
Based on my research,
I think that someone
probably separated the rings
a long time ago
and got themselves cursed
because of it.
Cole, I know this is a lot,
but...
the evidence is overwhelming.
I think...
I think you're being
haunted by a ghost.
Oh, my God. What?
That's... that's, uh...
pretty crazy. Wow.
And it looks like the only way to break
the curse is to return it to its pair.
According to the legend,
the ghost will actually
become fully material
and visible on the one night
of the year that it died.
So it has the chance to right
the wrong it committed.
[to himself] That's why she came
alive at the Gatsby party.
What's that?
Uh, I was just saying
how this is all new and shocking
information, Lydia.
You've got a ghost on your hands
and you need to do something about it.
Where is it now? The other ring.
It was hard but finally
I tracked it to...
Ancient History Museum
of New York.
So it's in New York.
But not for long.
There's an auction tomorrow
at the museum
and the other ring's one
of the items they're selling.
They have an anonymity clause
so you won't be able to find out
who it's sold to.
But if you get there
before it sells...
all you have to do is return the
ring and poof... no more ghost.
Wait, uh... what do you mean,
"no more ghost"?
My guess is reuniting the rings
sets the spirit free
so it can...
move on.
Move on sounds a lot like dying.
Ghosts are already dead, Cole.
They can't die again.
But if they can't move on,
they just stay trapped in this
plane of existence for eternity.
Watching the world go
by alone forever.
It's not a good deal.
I don't know who's haunting
you but trust me...
breaking the curse would be
doing them a huge favor.
Uh... hey Bea, um...
there's something
that you should know.
[clears throat]
Okay. Hey Bea...
Um... this thing I need
to tell you...
guess who's cursed?
Bea, I need to talk to you
about something.
Ta-da!
What's going on?
Well... your mom said
she was working late
and you were gone most
of the afternoon
so I had the house to myself.
I want you to play me
one of your songs.
The stage and the lights
and the candles
are just so you feel guilty
saying no
because I went through
all the trouble.
[small laugh]
Um... Bea, before I play,
we should really talk
about something first.
Boo! We don't want speeches,
we want music.
Okay. Okay, fine. Um... here.
I wrote this song a while ago.
It's about an old shoe.
I love songs about shoes.
It's my favorite genre.
[scoffs]
[strumming guitar]
Oh, oh, oh, All Star
Just one of a pair
Who left you lying there?
Oh, oh, oh, All Star
The right side of the road
Someday take you home
Oh
How'd you get so far?
A single sole that's lost
Did your laces
Come uncrossed?
Oh, oh, oh, All Star
Just keep walking on
'Til you get back home
'Til you get back home
Whoa
Oh, oh, keep walking
Oh, keep walking
Oh, keep walking, whoa
'Til you get back home
[song ends]
That's it.
Um... it's just a silly song.
It's not silly. It's beautiful.
Thanks.
You should play it...
at the school talent show.
This song?
This one, another one.
Just play something.
I don't know, I don't really
play for other people.
What's the point of playing
if you're just going to play
for yourself?
My mom always said, we're all
just passing by in this world,
let's make some noise
along the way.
Come on, make some noise.
Promise me you'll do it?
Fine. Fine. I... I promise.
But you have to promise
that you'll be there.
If you get up there
on that stage,
I will be right there
in the front row.
You're incredible.
What did you wanna
tell me before?
What?
Before, when you came in,
you said you wanted to talk
to me about something.
Oh. Um...
I forgot.
[Mr. Porter] I am going
to hand back your papers.
And I think Mr. Fitzgerald
and I are in agreement
that some of you
could have done...
a whole lot better.
Oh, I have some bad news
for the aspiring artists.
The fall talent show
has been postponed
because a pipe burst
in the auditorium
and they have to fix it.
- So stay tuned.
- [school bell rings]
[students chattering]
Uh...
Excuse me, Mr. Porter?
Oh... Mr. Sanchez.
Um... what about my essay
did you not like in particular?
'Cause I just don't understand
why I got a D.
Oh... I think all of your
answers were perfectly valid
and interesting interpretations
of The Great Gatsby's themes
and motifs.
Then why did you...?
I also think they were
very valid and interesting
the first hundred times
I read them.
This is not what you think
about the book.
This is what you think I think
you should think about the book.
Try again if you want to.
But if you do...
this time,
please tell me what
you think using your own voice.
You're not a boring person,
Cole.
I don't know why you're trying
so hard to be one.
[sighs]
[piano and guitar playing]
[sighs]
Sorry.
What's wrong?
You seem distracted.
It's nothing. I just, um...
I... I got a bad grade
on an assignment today, so...
[notification alert]
Uh, something happened
on your magic, shiny brick
telephone thing.
Uh, "How was the auction?
No more ghosts."
Cole, what is this?
It... it's just, uh... Lydia.
You know.
"No more ghosts"?
What's going on?
Um...
Lydia and I, we, uh...
we figured out why you're here.
Basically this ring's part
of a pair.
And when you separated them,
you got yourself cursed,
and that's why your soul
has been stuck here.
What does she mean,
"no more ghost"?
She thinks
that if we reunite the rings,
that the curse would be broken.
You mean I wouldn't be
a ghost anymore?
Well... I... I don't know.
I guess you would move on.
Where is it?
Where is the other ring?
Bea... most likely
you would be dead.
Like... dead, dead.
I think that's what happens
after the curse is broken.
So maybe it's better to just,
you know, like...
leave it alone.
Hmm.
But... then I'll be stuck
like this forever.
We talked about this, Cole.
You're going to grow old
and move out one day.
And I'll...
No. We have to do this.
We have to find the other ring.
Even if we don't know what will
happen once the curse is broken,
it has to be better than this.
Right?
What?
Where is it?
The other ring was sold
at an auction back in New York.
How do you know this?
I mean, when did you find
this out?
Why did Lydia ask if you went
to the auction?
You knew about it.
You knew about the auction
before it happened.
How... Why...
Why didn't you tell me?
I didn't...
I didn't want you to die.
I mean,
just be gone forever. I...
I didn't want things to change
and I thought that you didn't
want it either.
How could you not tell me?
So... I'm stuck here like this
forever and it's your fault.
Hey, can we just...
can we just go home
and talk about this?
You had no right, Cole!
- I didn't want to lose you!
- How could you?
I'm not yours to lose.
I had a life of my own.
What do you think, that I'm...
I'm haunting you to make you
feel better about yourself?
Or make you feel less alone?
I'm haunting you
because I was cursed, Cole.
And you could've fixed that
but you didn't.
I... I didn't... I...
Go.
Now.
Take off the ring.
Don't read the last
two pages aloud.
It can sometimes cause the dead
to rise and turn on you.
[phone ringing]
[Catarina] Hello?
Hi, Mrs. Sanchez. It's Lydia.
Is Cole around?
I tried his phone
but he's not answering.
[Catarina]
He said he was going to school.
Now?
He said he was practicing music
with some friends.
Friends. Okay.
Thanks, Mrs. Sanchez.
[door opens]
Hey. Your friend, Lydia,
just called, like, a second ago.
Cole? You okay?
Yeah.
[piano playing]
Cole?
Hi.
Hi.
I'm Lydia.
Are you the ghost
that's been haunting Cole?
[knocking on door]
- Yup.
- [door opens]
You okay in here?
Uh, yeah just redoing
an assignment for English.
The Great Gatsby.
I wonder how long it'll take
schools to discover
that there are other books
written in the English language.
It's a great story.
- I know it is.
- Yeah.
I just... I don't know.
I don't really know
what to say about it
that hasn't been said,
like, a million times.
Well, what do you think
it's about?
Everybody knows
what it's about. It's like...
a guy who falls in love
with a girl in the past
and, uh... he misses
her really badly.
But...
she's gone.
And he can't get her back.
So now he feels, um...
incomplete.
[poignant music]
[sighs] I really miss him.
I miss him too, Cole.
I miss him all the time.
But that's a good thing, right?
I mean, if he had been a bad guy,
we wouldn't miss him.
[laughs]
But he wasn't. He was amazing.
[inhales sharply]
He gave us the privilege
of missing him.
But it doesn't feel like
a privilege.
Like, I just... I feel sad.
I feel like...
Like, what's the point?
You know? Like...
if things can just happen
just like that. If...
He can die just like that.
Like...
Why does it matter?
Life. Like, anything.
[sighs]
Well... I suppose you're right.
[sniffles]
If I hadn't met him
or if I didn't love him,
I wouldn't be this sad now.
That's for sure.
But then I think,
if I hadn't met him,
I also wouldn't have
all the memories we shared.
I would rather miss him
like this every day
than throw away
all that we've been through together.
Those moments are who I am.
They're who you are too.
And who he was.
Who he still is.
The real sad people in life...
stop and look back
over their lives
and they realize
they missed nothing.
Because they never did anything
or met anyone worth missing.
Missing someone just means
you loved them.
That sucks.
- I know, baby.
- [sighs]
Hey, can you float?
No. I was really disappointed
when I found that out.
Yeah.
[laughs]
He likes you a lot,
you know. Cole.
How do you know that?
Because I could tell.
He freaked out a little bit
when I was talking
about lifting the curse.
Like... I was talking about
taking away his best friend.
He didn't tell me about
the auction.
I'm really sorry
the other ring is gone.
And Cole was so, so wrong to
not tell you about the auction.
But...
I don't think he's a bad guy.
I just think maybe
he's really, really lonely.
[inspirational music]
[male voice] Ancient History
Museum of New York.
How can I help you?
Hi. I... am a rich person
and I just,
uh... bought a ring
there recently.
Uh, the part number,
item number is, um... X3731.
[male voice] For complaints or questions
about an auction item please call...
No, no, no. I don't have
any complaints. Uh...
I just wanna know...
What's my name?
- [male voice] Excuse me?
- Because, uh...
when I, uh... bought the ring,
I just wanna make sure that
I put my name down correctly.
Uh, so if you just wouldn't
mind, like, say it back to me...
that'd be great.
[male voice] Your name will be
confirmed tomorrow
with external affairs when all
auction items will be processed
and shipped
to their respective owners.
Wait, wait, wait.
"Will be shipped"?
[male voice] Yes, they'll
be shipped tomorrow morning.
It's still there.
[male voice] What's that, sir?
[hopeful music]
[ring clattering]
Okay, I... I deserved that.
Yes, you did.
Okay, listen. I'm... I'm sorry.
I just...
You said that already.
What else you got?
I called the museum.
They sold the ring at auction
but they have
to process it first.
Scan it, kiss it goodbye,
whatever, but the point is...
Then get to it.
Okay, they still have
the ring at the museum.
Right now at least maybe
'til morning but...
we can still reunite the rings.
This still doesn't make
what you did before okay.
I know. And I'm very sorry.
Okay, where is the museum?
So it's in New York.
Hey, you two.
Yoo-hoo. You guys need a ride?
Uh, yeah. That'd be...
Wait... you guys know
each other now?
Yes. We know each other.
I see why you like her. Come on.
[hopeful music]
[sighs]
You two should go.
I'll keep watch.
Okay, I'm going.
- Go, go, go!
- I'm going, I'm going.
Hey, Cole.
Tell Bea to try not to steal
any cursed artifacts this time.
She said she'll try not to.
Come on.
Thank you!
Okay...
Let's go.
[radio chatter] Just finishing
my rounds on the east wing.
Over.
Where do you suppose it is?
Um, the guy on the phone
said it's being processed by...
external affairs.
Okay.
Of course.
It's all clear.
Breaking and entering with
a ghost is ridiculously easy.
Okay. Um... we're looking
for item number X3731.
- I'll take that side.
- Okay.
737...
Bea?
I think I found it.
[tender music]
That's it.
Are you... ready?
Okay.
Um... I'm gonna take
the ring off.
Wait.
Bea, I'm... I'm really
gonna miss you.
[romantic music]
Okay.
I'm ready now.
Bye, Cole.
Bye, Bea.
You can't ask a tree
To blossom
If it isn't spring
Don't leave the house
At midnight
And expect the birds to sing
If you're looking
For a reason
You needn't even try
Sometimes it's time
To let a good thing die
You can't conjure up
More money
If you've only got a dime
No use praying for your
Younger days
If you're running
Out of time
You can take a horse
To water
But you can't teach
Fish to fly
Sometimes it's time
To let a good thing die
You can't light a fire
From nothing
Or clap and make snow fall
You can't sum a love up
In your heart
- If it isn't there at all
- [cat meows]
Life isn't like the movies
I'm sorry, buddy.
She's... she's gone.
'Cause sometimes it's time
To let a good thing die
[joyous music]
[laughs]
[laughing]
[sighs]
Well, you told me
to close my eyes.
Can I open them already?
Come on.
Um...
Not yet.
Well?
So? What's the magic trick?
- Oh...
- I...
Come on. Let's go.
I should've stayed
on night shift.
Thank you for visiting
the Spectral Valley Museum.
We hope you've had
an enlightened experience.
[teacher] Orderly now.
Right this way, follow me.
Quickly.
Bea, let's go.
[teacher] Everyone follow me.
Quickly, quickly.
[gasps]
[Cole] Dear Mr. Porter,
thank you for giving
me an opportunity
to redo my Great
Gatsby assignment.
I'd like to preface this
by saying
I know I'm not supposed
to start assignments
like letters addressed
to the teacher
but I don't really see why
I'm not supposed to do that
so I'm gonna go ahead
and do it anyway.
And now... here we go.
[clears throat]
I think The Great Gatsby
is a book about a lot of things.
It's about the past.
It's about growing up
and time and sorrow
and friendship and regret.
And the wonderfully weird magic
of being alive.
But most of all, it's a book
about a fascinating fellow
named Gatsby,
and this girl called Daisy.
And about a love story
that wasn't meant to be.
You see, Gatsby believed he could
bring the past back to life.
The memory of Daisy.
His green light ever receding
in front of his eyes.
But what Gatsby
didn't understand is that
we don't need
to bring our past back to life.
It's already with us.
And it stays with us as long
as we're able to remember it.
We all have green lights.
Not just one
but so many of them.
They're the things we once loved
and had to let go of
and watch as they drift
into our past.
But the past and the future
and the present
aren't really separate things,
are they?
The past can illuminate the way
for years to come in our future.
And as long as we hold on to it,
it never really stops
being present.
I don't think we really lose
our past.
Our history, the things
we love and hold dear.
The things that make us
who we are.
The ones that truly matter.
We carry them with us.
Forever.
[guitar playing]
At times it's just a whisper
An echo in the air
That hangs
Sometimes it comes
Out at night
Under dark clouds
Made heavy with rain
More than just a memory
That lingers
'Til it catches light
Oh, but you're
The perfect picture
In black and white
Coming back to life
Oh, let the records play
And fill up the halls
Dance through our days
Shake the frames
From the walls
100 years stand
Between us two
You had to ghost me but I'm
Still haunted by you
You
If I am an Ocean
Then you are a Holiday
It's like Bowie and Duke
Just for one night
Sharing the same stage
Oh, when cicadas sing
On the quietest nights
And I leave to dream
It's you in the moonlight
In 100 years
If I'm still not through
Each morning
I'll open my eyes
Still haunted by you
You
Haunted by you
Oh, haunted by you
Yeah
Every night, every night
Still haunted by you
["Last Day on Earth"

If it was my last day
On earth
If it was my last day
If it was my last day
On earth
If it was my last day
If I close my eyes
And the sun don't rise
Would I be okay?
If it was my last day
On earth
If it was my last day
If it was my last day
On earth
I wouldn't be in church
I'm sorry, God, but it's
My last day in this universe
I need to see birds
And buzzing bees
Green grass, evergreen trees
Not seeing people who
Have been mean to me
And why would I
Waste my time?
All my favorite people
Need teary-eyed goodbyes
Talk, laugh, hug, and give
A bunch of hot high-fives
I did my best, man
And I gave this thing
A good try
If it was my last day
On earth
If it was my last day
If it was my last day
On earth
If it was my last day
If I close my eyes
And the sun don't rise
Would I be okay?
If it was my last day
On earth
If it was my last day
Wait, wait, wait
You telling me I got 24 of
These 60 minute things left?
Damn, I ain't get to be
A billionaire yet
Fly around, first class
Private jet flex
Use a black Amex
Get up out the duplexes
Buy a Lexus, take a road trip
To a spaceship
And I'ma get on, blast up in
The sky and I'ma get gone
Gave up too much just
To see one more dawn
If it was my last day
