Secrets of Sulphur Springs (2021–…): Season 2, Episode 7 - Check Out Time - full transcript

Preparations begin for the Tremont Hotel's grand reopening.

Wyatt: Previously on "Secrets
of Sulphur Springs"...

‐Have you seen Savannah?
‐No. Not all day.

Caroline: I thought she might
be helping you out again.

Sam: Savannah! Are
you down there?

(grunting)

Topher: It's the ghost sending
a message loud and clear.

You don't have to leave tonight.

Haunted or just cursed,
that place wants us out.

‐firefighter: Anyone living
in room 205? ‐Sarah: Why?

Firefighter: When I was checking it
out, I noticed it seemed very cold.

Wyatt: There's a
ghost in that hotel.



Griffin: There's no telling
how this is gonna end.

Your family can't let
that slimy judge win.

You got the document
for their farm?

If you mean the original,

it can go out with
tonight's trash.

I'll take care of it tomorrow.

You need to switch with Harper

and make sure she
gets back here.

There's something you need
to know about the farm.

The judge tricked your dad
with a switch of the documents.

Take this inside, and the
land stays yours forever.

Only it's not what
you're going to do.

In fact, that's the last
thing you're going to do.

If what you're saying is true,



that document will allow
us to stay on our property.

Harper, come on,
give it to Daisy.

‐Wasn't that the plan?
‐I'm changing the plan.

I can't give you the document.

But I don't understand.

It's too big a risk.

If we change things in 1930,

the future will be altered.

Yes, the farm would stay
in the Tremont family,

but you'd grow up a
completely different person.

Maybe you'd never get married.

Maybe you'd never have children.

The entire Tremont lineage
would be interrupted.

And you and your brother
would never be born.

Griffin said the same thing.

Harper, you're just
thinking about this now?

Why did we swipe it
in the first place?

You have to go back.

Live your life. It
will all work out.

Your father only wants
what's best for you and Sam.

But my mother will be trapped
in that hotel forever.

Not forever.

I promise.

Strange saying goodbye to someone
who hasn't even been born yet.

I so want more time with you,

my great‐granddaughter.

I want the same thing.

Okay, you two, don't
be bashful. Hug it out.

Wyatt: Pretty obvious Dad
believes in ghosts now.

All that yelling proves it.

That was so cool when
he took on the ghost.

You believe now too, right, Mom?

Pretty much.

I'll loan you my
hat, if you want.

Uh, I'll let you know.

Meanwhile, I think our
ghost is on notice,

thanks to your dad.

Or he made her mad.

Her?

W‐‐ Why do you
think it's a woman?

We don't, really. It
goes back and forth.

One day she's a "she,"

the next he's a "he,"

or our favorite, "it."

Covers all the bases.

If there was just some way to
free her from that mirror...

That‐‐ that's where
Topher says she's trapped.

You wouldn't have any
ideas, would you, Mom?

I mean, like how to un‐trap her,

or de‐trap her, or
whatever the word is.

I'll give it some thought.

Meantime, you two
need to get to sleep.

It's been a long day.

‐On or off? ‐What
do you think?

Sleep tight, you two.

As if any of us will sleep.

(ominous music)

Ben: Hey.

Twins in bed?

Uh, half of them.

Wyatt's on the floor.

You know, it actually
feels calm around here,

like... kinda peaceful.

Do you trust it?

Not for a second.

Daisy! What are you
still doing here?

You're supposed to
switch back with Harper.

‐I know, and‐‐ ‐This is crazy!

I mean, you know what
Harper means to me

and how much I
need her back here.

I know now.

Wait a second.

You're... Harper?

(laughs) Yeah.

‐You're home. ‐I'm home.

(theme music playing)

(siren wailing)

(indistinct chatter)

There you are! Is
everything all right?

I'm fine.

What happened?

Sam took a fall down
the basement stairs.

He's unconscious.
Nasty bump on the head.

After all the times he's
been down those stairs,

it seems crazy he fell.

He'll be all right.

Mom, I really need to see him.

In time.

No, you don't understand.

I have to. Right away.

Wait. So Savannah was in 1930?

She'd intercepted a
note in the floorboard

I'd put there for you,

that I was stuck in 1930.

Then grown‐up Sam
finished the radio,

and Savannah was able to open
the portal and come through.

I guess her idea
was to rescue me.

Everyone's idea.

You'll never believe
what I found out in 1930.

The land, the house, and
the springs were stolen

from my relatives, the Tremonts.

This judge was behind it.

And probably the one who
turned it into a hotel.

Okay, I wanna hear all this
but we've got to get up there

before someone else
finds this place.

Wait. Someone else? Who else?

‐Your brother. ‐Topher?

He was in the bunker?

And he swiped the crystal.

‐Which is how I
got stuck. ‐Right.

Anyway, you've got
your long story

and I've got mine, and
both will have to wait.

After you.

(portal opening)

You're not finished, are you?

Please, leave my family alone.

I know you're hiding in there.

You talked to me before,
just talk to me again.

Tell me what we
can do to help you.

Harper: Your mom was
talking to the mirror.

She knows?

My dad too.

Do they know its
history? That it's Grace?

No, but we almost
had a fire today.

Fire trucks, lots of smoke.

What?

Remember when I told
you about my dream,

that nightmare about
smoke and a fire?

Sure. The day you switched
places and got stuck.

In 1930, I learned
it wasn't a dream,

it was a vision.

I had more too.

Glimpses of the future,
of things to come.

I have this gift, the
same gift Grace had,

of seeing into the future.

Bad things mostly,

like the smoke and fire

that I thought was
gonna be in 1930,

but it must've been
in the present.

The Tremont now.

No one found any fire.

They couldn't explain it.

Wow. You've been to the past
and you can see into the future.

It's pretty impressive, Harper.

Well, thank you.

Excuse me.

We're looking for Sam Townsend.

He was admitted earlier.

Colored ward is that way.

Doctor: Still waiting
on those test results.

Can you check with the lab?

Doctor, you've just been
in with Sam Townsend?

‐Yes. ‐How is he?

His vitals are strong,

but he remains unconscious.

Time will tell.

Uh, do you know where I
can get his medical record?

Sorry, I don't.

(whispering): Sam. Sam!

Your time machine, it works.

I used it, Sam.

I went back to 1930
when you were a kid.

I saw the hotel when
it was the farm.

I saw your father. I saw you.

Caroline: Honey,
we have to go.

The doctor said no
visitors just yet.

(whispering): Get better, Sam.

You have to see it working.

It's a beautiful
thing you created.

Harper: It's all here.
The sale of the farm.

The judge's plans
to build the hotel.

The healing springs.

Delay after delay,

problems with construction...

The judge went through
like six architects,

had to go to Baton Rouge
to find the right one.

The first grand opening.

1944.

Fourteen years later.

Harper: When you take a
look at the false starts

and the construction delays,

it becomes so obvious.

The ghost of Grace
was behind it.

Ninety years of blinking lights,

cold spots, and water leaks.

You said you had
a way to free her?

Harper: With this‐‐

the document that'll
change everything.

This is the original,

which would have allowed
Elijah to stay on his land.

The forged second document
was used against him.

This is proof the
land was stolen.

Which means the land still
belongs to the Tremonts,

to my family.

Explaining why Grace
won't leave the hotel.

Anyone other than a
Tremont is an intruder

and must be dealt with.

Plus, I've always
been drawn to it.

My father too.

Even Topher.

And I'm thinking it's
because it's still ours.

You realize my father's put
his whole life in that place?

This is huge.

One hotel, two owners.

What're we gonna do?

What we always do.

Figure it out.

And we're very
close to finishing.

Spackle, paint, uh,
a tricky furnace,

but the place has good bones.

I don't know if you've
ever been out there...

Sure. As a kid.

We'd throw rocks through
the windows and run.

I'm sure you know, the place
has quite a reputation.

Mr. and Mrs. Campbell,
you seem like nice people

and certainly very competent.

But there's obvious risk here.

I noticed you didn't
mention the recent fire.

Oh, that? Mostly just
smoke. Right, Ben?

No damage, aired it right out.

Banker: And lost a few
contractors along the way.

Some back pay is
owed, I understand.

‐Any refills? ‐banker:
No, not for me.

Your passion for this
project is undeniable.

But bottom line, I can't
recommend this for a loan.

Thank you for your time.

You guys okay?

How could we be anything but

after your incredible pastries?

What Ben is trying to say

is that we may have just
lost our last chance

to finish the hotel.

Ben: Why don't
you join us, Jess?

As someone once said,
"Misery loves company."

(rooster crowing)

‐Hey, Sam. ‐I don't get it.

I packed this whole
crate two hours ago.

You didn't pull all
this stuff out, did you?

Can't say I did.

Maybe it was Papa.

Now, why would he do that?

I can't believe we're
actually leaving this place.

Well, one chapter ends,
another one begins.

Unless you're at
the end of the book.

Sam, I'm saying you're
destined to do great things.

You have to continue work
on your special project.

See it through.

Never give up on your dream.

Having visions again?
Looking into the future?

Something like that.
Something just as cool.

Cool? What does that
mean? Like chilly? Cold?

Like... magical.

Knock it off!

Every day a new Daisy.

Is he...

Is he gone?

Nurse: Not in the
way you're thinking.

He disappeared during
the middle of the night.

You wouldn't happen to know
where he is, would you?

Actually, I just might.

Harper: It's the best way
to help Grace move on.

In fact, it may be the only way.

I'm not disagreeing.

You're not agreeing either.

It's just‐‐ (sighs)

My parents have so many
other problems right now.

Piling more on them
just seems crazy.

I don't see this as a problem.

Like you said, we just need
to get it all out in the open.

My mom's car... She's here.

We'll have everyone together.

Come on. Now's
the perfect time.

Harper: It's a document that
shows this land, the springs,

all of it still
belongs to our family,

to the Tremonts.

Those signatures, back in 1930,

they guaranteed we'd
never be evicted.

‐Where did you find this?
‐Harper: Archives downtown.

When I learned we'd
owned the land,

I was curious, so...
I did some research.

‐Griffin helped.
‐Sarah: So you're saying

this land was stolen
from the Tremonts

by this judge?

Technically, yes.

Jess: Exactly. Technically.

This is an old document.

I mean, any lawyer could easily
argue it's no longer valid...

no matter what our
kids uncovered.

Doesn't change things.

I, we, everyone knows how
you invested in this place.

It's your dream.

It was your husband,
my father's dream too.

That paper, that lie
has lasted generations,

and we have to make it right.

Ben, you don't owe us anything.

Ben: Harper's right.

If it's true, if any
of it is true, we...

we have an obligation,

a moral obligation
to return the land.

What happens to us?

Griffin: Guys,
it's‐‐ it's okay.

I mean, they're just
figuring things out.

Nothing has to change.

Right?

Jess: Wait. Everyone...

I have an idea.

Now, hear me out.

You need money, and
I've been saving

to buy a better and
more upscale restaurant.

What if I put the money
in here? Into the hotel?

50‐50 partner.

You'll have the money
you need to finish.

I can have my restaurant.

And we can restore The
Tremont back to its greatness.

I mean, it is your legacy, kids.

You okay with this?

Yeah. Yes, of course!

And yes from me too.

Ben?

Th‐‐ Th‐‐ This is...

It's‐‐ It's incredible.

Wyatt: I vote...

‐Take the deal, Dad.
‐I'll second that.

‐Third. ‐Fourth.

‐It's unanimous. ‐Hm.
Looks like a quorum, Ben.

Jess, I‐‐

‐We... ‐Jess: I know.

Enough said.

So, what do you say

we break out some
sparkling cider

to celebrate?

Sarah: I'm on it.

Wyatt, Zoey, I'll need
help with the glasses.

I hate sparkling
cider. Makes me sneeze.

Zoey: No one cares, Wyatt.

Hey, which room is mine?

Jess: So what do you think?

How soon can you get
the contractors back?

Oh, now that there's a
paycheck in their futures,

I'd say sooner than later.

Well, Tremonts back
in The Tremont.

What Grace wanted all along.

I hope you're listening,
great‐great grandmother.

(light flickering)

Sam?

"I've gone on a
journey through time.

"Don't come after me.

"If I'm not back
in three weeks...

destroy the radio."

2024. The future.

You can rest easy now,
great‐great grandmother.

It's over. You're free.

The Tremonts are
back on the land

just like you always wanted.

(voice humming "Amazing Grace")

(thudding)

(mirror cracks)

(humming continues)

I sneezed, like, five
times. Now I have to pee.

Really more information
than we need.

Is it just me, or does
this place feel different?

Different, how?

Like, peaceful?

Yeah, I'm getting the same vibe.

Maybe because we all
want it to feel that way.

Don't turn around, Zoey.

No, turn around.

Don't‐‐ Do‐‐ Don't‐‐
Do, do. Don't‐‐

You see it, right?

It came from the mirror.

We freed her.

(dramatic music)

(singing "Amazing Grace")

Oh, my gosh!

Topher: We did it.

We freed her, guys.

(singing continues)

‐I don't think we tell
our parents. ‐Agreed.

They wouldn't
believe us, anyway.

Is it over?

Well, her spirit's freed,

and there aren't
any more ghosts.

Yeah. It's over.

Zoey: Which means you
can finally go back

to snoring in your own room.

She is so going to miss me!

‐Heading home, Harper? ‐Go
ahead, Toph, I'll catch up.

‐So‐‐ ‐I, uh‐‐

(chuckles) You can go first.

If it's not obvious,

I missed you while
you were gone.

Like... a lot.

I missed you too.

I, uh... I better get inside.

Right. And I have to
catch up to Topher.

Yeah.

‐Good night, Griffin.
‐Good night, Harper.

(ominous music playing)

(door slams)

♪ ♪

Harper: Next time on "Secrets
of Sulphur Springs"...

Sarah: It's our pleasure
to finally say...

all: Welcome to The Tremont!

(all cheering)

Finally found the key to 205.

Sarah: But it has that draft.

We still haven't figured out
where that's coming from.

That is not a little hiccup.

Well, we can't close the hotel.
That would be a disaster.

Sam went into the future
and hasn't come back yet.

Crystal's cracking, Savannah.

If you don't go home now, you
might not get another chance.
