Me Three (2025) Movie Script

[electronic warbling]
[upbeat music playing]
[Mr. Vienemy] I don't like
standing here in the courtyard
any more than you do.
I know. You're only
after my best interests.
What makes you think
I don't like it? It's great.
The problem is you're just
not reaching your potential.
Okay.
- Hi, Jeannie.
- What's up, Patterson?
In fact, I see someone
not even sliding sideways,
but backwards.
Yeah, just dealing
with a lot of stuff.
- Such as?
- Depression, for starters.
Oh, do you have support
at home?
- Hey.
- Hey.
I have support and a couple
of super intense parents.
Hey, Steffi, meet after school?
- You bet.
- Just a minute, young man.
Very funny.
Care to share why you felt the
need to mock Mr. Vienemy today?
I wasn't mocking him.
We were having a perfectly
respectable conversation
while he was informing
me of my shortcomings
in front of the entire school.
Hmm.
So, do you want me to punish
the others
involved in this endeavor
or are you willing
to take the heat for it?
Not the first time
we've been here, Jeannie.
Secretly putting a vaping alarm
in the girl's bathroom.
The sound nearly scared
Ms. Firestone to death.
Trying out for the cheer squad
in construction clothes
and performing a cheer
about patriarchal power
and the exploitation
of the female body.
And videoing
the homecoming king and queen
having sex in the parking lot
and posting it
on YouTube entitled,
"Love in a Lamborghini."
There is no proof
that I had anything to do
with those inspired acts.
So, you're dark
with a tendency
towards self-sabotage.
Are you okay?
I'm great.
I admire your creativity.
But as your faculty mentor,
I have to say,
the administration's
at their limit.
I don't know
what's going on here,
but I'm concerned.
You're not gonna be punished
for this
but I want you
to do something for me.
I want you to think
about what you want
out of life, seriously.
And you can't mess up again.
Do that and you're out.
[indistinct chatter]
Hey.
Hey.
We're in the same
dance class, right?
[sighs] Dude,
I think I sprained my ankle.
You dealt with that
earlier this year, right?
- Last fall.
- Can you help me?
Uh, like, totally, don't worry
if it's too much of a bother.
It's okay. What happened?
Oh, I just turned it and then
woke up really, really sore.
Have you iced it?
No, but of course
that would make sense.
Yeah, that's all you gotta do.
Just ice it for 20 minutes
and wrap it before class.
Can you show me
how to wrap it?
I saw
that Vienemy thing yesterday.
That was pretty funny.
- Thanks.
- Not that funny.
Clever.
Gee, you don't seem
to be limping at all.
Oh, wow.
Um,
I guess your wrap did the trick.
You didn't sprain your ankle,
did you?
Would you hold it
against me if I didn't?
[chuckles] Why?
Why would you fake it?
You did this to meet me.
After that whole
Vienemy thing yesterday.
I saw something...
something special.
Why wouldn't you just say hi?
Hi.
Would you hold it against me
if I told you I staged
the whole Vienemy thing
to meet you?
[gentle music playing]
This is a long-term
relationship.
We wanted to make a deal
with the company
and not just on a property
by property basis.
It provides stability
and cost savings for both of us.
So, we're pretty excited.
[man] Something's come up.
- Shit.
- By delay, you think he means?
Did you see that guy's watch?
Listen man, times are tight.
It'd be a really good time
to get in
on that IPO I mentioned.
It's a great
investment opportunity.
- What's it called again?
- Rydes with a Y.
It's like Bird and Lime,
but for cars.
So, what? There's just
some car lying around
- and anyone can just use it?
- For a fee?
And you have an in?
As long as we secure
a certain level of investment,
we can't lose.
[clicks tongue]
It's not a bad idea. The problem
is I just don't wanna risk
the little money we do have.
I gotcha.
I'm not gonna say anything.
I mean, heck,
if it weren't for you,
we probably
wouldn't be in business.
[cell phone ringing]
This is Bill.
[Janice] Mr. Steffi,
this is Janice Riley
from ONS Financial.
I'm calling about a loan
on 337 Via Pacifica.
We haven't received
the papers yet.
Via Pacifica?
We passed on that property
like two months ago.
[Janice] According
to my records,
we are just waiting
for the closing paperwork.
[Bill] Um, that's odd.
Maybe I'm a mess
When loving you
I'm glad we could do this.
So, I think it's time
that we talk about
me getting a car.
Right? Right?
Uh, you sure about that?
'Cause maybe we need
to have a conversation about
whether or not it's time.
We can talk about it.
Right? Right?
We wanted to talk about
something different.
Okay.
Do you know the Barron family?
They're kind of big donors
at the school.
They have a lot of influence.
They're doing two things.
One is they're pushing
to have transgenders
use only the bathroom
of their birth sex.
Okay.
Then we received
an email saying they want
all the Latino workers
at the school
to submit documentation.
I mean, what is this, China?
The thing is the Barrons
are trying to make the school,
you know, less open,
inclusive, and less tolerant.
And we don't want to
cause any problems for you
but we definitely feel like
we need to do something.
Like what?
Petition the board
to reject their proposals,
reconsider having them
as trustees.
That sounds like
a really bad idea.
- Why?
- I am a scholarship student.
Wouldn't that put me at risk?
Absolutely not.
We'd do it discreetly,
but that's exactly
why we have to do it
because they're elitist
and exclusionary.
If they do this
and the transgender thing
and get away with it,
they may eventually
work their way down
to scholarship students
and that's you.
Whoa. Okay.
We can't be more against them.
You do agree it's wrong, right?
Well, yeah.
Do you know their daughter,
Maya?
- Yeah.
- What's she like?
Seems okay.
Just, if we were to
do something like this
with some other parents,
how do you think
it would affect you?
How would I know?
[Melissa] And Maya's
like not a princess.
She's fine.
[Bill] That's great
that she's not like that.
It's surprising.
The apple usually falls
pretty close to the tree.
It happens, but it's rare.
In fact, she's really cool,
smart, impressive.
- You guys should chill out.
- Is she a friend?
Sort of.
We have dance together.
Yeah, sure. Okay, well there's
nothing wrong with that.
Well, I think that you guys
should just leave her out of it.
Okay?
She's not her parent,
I'm not you.
We're just trying to go
to school and live our lives.
Whoa. Excuse me, lady.
This is difficult for everybody.
Sorry, it's just...
I'm under a lot of pressure,
a lot of stress right now.
- Can we just give it a rest?
- Don't tell me what to do.
I'm not telling you what to do.
It was just a suggestion.
Something wrong?
Yeah. I had to spend my day
holding someone's hand,
metaphorically speaking,
wasting my time.
I said we could manage
about a million dollars
of his wealth.
So, yeah, I'm a little touchy.
- Sorry to hear that.
- You could help.
- Tell me.
- You could get a better job.
What?
Did you ever think that
if you got responsible
maybe I wouldn't
have to eat so much shit?
Well, excuse me for trying
to set an example
for our daughter.
How to be a failed
small business owner?
You know what? You're right.
[mimicking robot] I think
I'll be a corporate robot.
You guys, stop.
What are you doing?
We should stop.
- I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
- [sighs]
I'll talk to you later.
[sighs]
["Hardly" playing]
We can go anywhere
Let's fly away
Don't worry about a thing
I'll find a way
We can go to a place
Where the water's clear
Be the shadow of the moon
Where nobody's there
'Cause ain't nothing
In the world like true love...
[girl] Come support
the original stewards
of our ancestral land.
This is the craft
of the Changva people.
We conquered them.
- Slaughtered them.
- [bell ringing]
[girl]
We crushed their little babies
with our hooves,
but they survived.
So, now come support them.
- Hey.
- Hey.
Glad you didn't just continue
on your merry way,
in denial that you are trampling
on the sacred grounds
of another people
and urinating on their spirits.
How am I urinating
on their spirits?
Every time you flush a toilet,
that goes through a space
where someone once was buried.
All proceeds go to the Changva.
So, I'm looking for something
with positive energy.
You know, stay strong.
Something to keep
the negative thoughts out
'cause I need
to stay positive these days.
What? You didn't get
the latest Birkin bag
and you're so sad about it?
This isn't self-help therapy.
Move along.
Hey, I stopped in everything.
Why don't you go buy yourself
a diamond?
Make sure it is mined
by child slaves in Ethiopia.
- You'll feel so much better.
- You serious?
I'm not here for self-help.
I'm here for reinforcing spirits
and if I can help
the Changva people
along the way,
all the better. I identify
with those in the margins.
Read that three times
and pray.
[chuckles] Thank you so much.
I've been going through a lot.
Just really need a way
to keep dealing.
I don't have a lot of
help on the home front.
Five bucks.
Come support
the original stewards
of our ancestral land.
The craft of the Changva people.
The Changva people.
Okay, this is it.
Final performance instructions.
Nearly half your grade, ladies.
So, you must start now.
Okay? Not tonight, not tomorrow,
not next week, okay? Right now.
Step one, pick a partner,
then start working. Okay?
Planning, practicing,
performing. Any questions?
Hmm?
Okay. Get started.
You game?
Hell yeah, I'm game.
Oh, here.
I caught you checking out
my ear clip the other day
and I have an extra so,
it's yours.
Thank you.
Hmm.
Hey, is something going
on with your family?
[sighs] Oh, that.
Yeah, my parents
are hella conservative
- insane wackos. [sighs]
- [chuckles]
[Maya sighs]
I just try to ignore them.
Do they know?
Oh, no. Hell no.
They know nothing
about my orientation.
- Yours?
- No. Not in a million years.
Maybe I'll tell them
when I'm 30.
[both chuckle]
Maybe we can help
educate our families?
- Hi.
- Hey.
So, I think I know
what I want out of life.
Maybe I could be a bridge.
Help others cross the street.
Bridge the divide.
Okay.
[pop song playing]
'Cause ain't nothing
Like your love
I can't wait
To fall in love with you
I can't wait
To fall in love with you
I can't wait
To fall in love with you
I can't wait
To fall in love with you
I'd fly across the sky
To be with you
[song fades]
Hey, hey.
I brought us a costume choice.
Oh.
How is it going?
It's going.
What's up?
- [sighs] My life sucks.
- [chuckles] Why?
Your parents,
they're doing things
to my parents
and it caused my parents
to look into them
and they discovered
I'm into you.
Wow. [sighs] Okay. [chuckles]
And?
And when my parents
want something,
they make my life
very difficult.
Under no circumstances
do they want me
to hang with you.
Okay. And what do you want?
What do I want? [scoffs]
What do I want?
Teenagers go out with people
their parents hate all the time.
It's like a rite of passage.
A lot of times,
they don't even tell them
- what's going on.
- It's not that.
I never told you I'm going
on a student dance tour
this summer in Europe.
They're gonna yank it.
[sighs] Oh, excuse me
you can't go to Europe.
I don't care where it is.
It's away from them.
Like seriously away.
I was in it before I met you,
but it gives me space from them
and now I might lose it.
I just don't understand
why anybody has to know.
We can be extra careful.
I don't know
how they know... [scoffs]
...okay?
But they know everything.
And I really don't wanna deal
with their bullshit right now.
I thought
we were gonna show them that.
It doesn't have to be this way.
Look, I need to pause on us
until I figure out what's what.
This has gotten crazy fast,
okay? I need to know
how my mom even knows about us
and I can't risk
losing this to her.
We can still do our dance.
[sighs]
[Jeannie crying]
[Melissa]
Life doesn't stop, okay?
- Holy crap. What happened?
- She asked me to come.
- What's wrong?
- Nothing!
I know it doesn't feel
like that right now, honey,
but this will pass.
Hello?
Apparently, someone at school
that she has a crush on
broke her heart.
[crying] It's just,
we had a connection.
It was so nice.
I didn't even know
you had a boyfriend.
You wouldn't know.
You're too busy. [crying]
You are about
as sensitive as a fart, Bill.
You, too.
You're both a disaster.
I'm insensitive?
You come in here
without so much as a text.
Technically,
that's breaking and entering.
Jesus, get over yourself.
Can't you see our daughter
is having a meltdown
and all you think about
is yourself?
You're such a selfish
goddamn man.
[laughs] I'm sorry
I'm distracted.
But I'm dealing
with the burning sensation
of feeling violated.
Oh, welcome to the party, pal.
As a woman, I feel violated
and imposed upon
every freaking day.
Oh, really? And I'm sure
your criticizing of me
in front of her
is making her feel so good
right now.
Stop!
[sobs] You're both
just poisoning my nightmare.
You've already messed things up
enough.
Sweetheart, what happened?
How bad is it?
It's so bad that I'm crying
in front of you right now.
I don't know why I thought
things were gonna work out.
It never does.
Jeannie,
I love you, sweetheart.
And I'm so sorry
that this happened.
And can you acknowledge
that either of us
criticizing the other
is hurting her?
Sure.
As long as you can acknowledge
that you're self-absorbed
and seeing our daughter's pain.
I'm not
the only narcissist here.
I'm tryna be positive.
Let a little light in,
and believe.
And for what?
You're supposed to help me
with this.
Let go of life, be calm.
There's nothing
to worry about anymore.
You're not the first
to come here
and you won't be the last.
Those that have come
before me are with me.
[dramatic music playing]
[both scream]
And the future to flow from you.
It took seven generations
to bring you here.
[alarm ringing]
Stop! What do you want?
What do you want?
[muffled screaming]
- [Bill grunts]
- [breathes heavily]
- [intruder groans, grunts]
- [Bill groans, grunts]
[pants] No!
[suspenseful music playing]
It will take seven generations
to bring someone next.
I'm an important link
in the chain.
[dramatic music playing]
[Jeannie groans]
My head is throbbing.
[Melissa] What the hell
was that?
[Bill] Why do I have
women's voices in my head?
[Melissa] Huh,
my neck feels better.
I had pain all day.
[Bill] Uh, Jeannie
and Melissa, I can hear you,
but I can't see you.
Where are you?
- Ah, dad!
- [Bill] What the--
- [Melissa] Oh, no, Bill.
- [Bill] What the...
[Melissa] I... I think
I'm gonna puke.
[Bill] What's happening?
[Melissa] You're dead,
but I can hear you.
[combined voices] Oh!
What is going on?
Is this a hallucination?
A dream?
What the hell? Mom?
[combined voices]
I can't be dead.
I have too much to do.
The fuck is going on?
- [Bill] Language.
- [Melissa] Language.
- [screams]
- [screams]
[Melissa] Bill, what the hell
are you doing in our mirror?
Hey, let's try to revive me.
I can't seem to move my left.
[Jeannie] That's because
it's my left.
[Melissa] Come on.
Wake up. Wake up.
- It's just a dream.
- It's just a dream.
[Bill] You seem dead,
but maybe not.
[Melissa] Ah, hey.
[Bill] Sorry.
Yep, you're dead.
- Let's try me.
- Hey!
[Bill] Wake up. Wake up.
How am I not waking up?
[Melissa] We didn't
try hard enough before.
- Let's check my vitals.
- [groans]
[Bill] You didn't even try
with me. Let's go back.
- [Melissa] No. Hey.
- [grunts]
Stop! [pants]
We were attacked and now
you both are in my head?
What the hell is happening?
[Melissa] I think
it's a little more than that.
I think your dad controls
your left side
and I control your right.
Are you fucking serious?
Then what do I control? My neck?
[Bill] When did you start
cursing?
[Melissa] Call 911.
- [screams]
- [screams]
Great, he gets the mirror.
I get the phone?
Don't worry sweetheart.
We're gonna figure it out.
- We got this, babe.
- I wasn't finished.
Don't touch me.
[Bill] I'm just trying
to help.
- [Melissa] Stop touching me.
- You always do this.
Would you just let me
for one moment?
- I don't need you...
- [Bill] I'm asking
- for a moment.
- ...telling me what to do.
- You let her.
- Stop touching me!
[Bill] I need her help.
[muffled indistinct chatter]
Jeannie?
My name is Vanessa Morris.
I'm a detective.
You were attacked. You've got
a few bumps of bruises,
but otherwise, you seem okay.
How do you feel?
Okay. I think.
Sore.
[Melissa] Hey,
where's my body?
[Bill] Since you're dead,
probably with DME.
Sorry to be the one
to tell you this
but your parents didn't make it.
Yes, sort of.
I mean, yeah, of course.
- Who did this?
- We don't know.
We do think it was a lethal dose
of a toxic chemical.
Do you remember anything
from your attack?
[Melissa] It was a huge guy
in a mask.
[Bill] The dude was 6'3"
like a linebacker.
[combined voices]
I don't think it'd hurt to just
tell them something.
I'm gonna use the bathroom.
- Now.
- Sure.
Oh, and he had a snake
and sword tattoo on his forearm.
This is crazy.
What is happening?
You guys die and I go nuts?
- You're not nuts, honey.
- Yeah, it's not you.
Then what the hell is it?
Well, unless we're
mistaken and we could be.
Who the hell
knows what's going on?
But your mother
and I were talking.
When did you talk?
Well, we were up
and conscious before you were.
Anyway, when we died,
we think our souls
entered your body somehow.
It's the only explanation
that makes sense.
As crazy as that sounds.
I'm sorry.
And we share control
of your motor functions.
And we agreed your
mother's gonna take care
of the female stuff.
[screams]
Jeannie, you okay in there?
Yeah, just coming to terms
with the situation.
How do I know that I haven't
just gone batshit nuts?
Because we all have
our faculties,
like we're normal,
thinking for ourselves.
We're just in a different space.
Look, I wouldn't believe
it if it didn't happen.
I mean, when does this happen,
this doesn't happen.
This isn't a thing that happens.
But it did happen
and here we are.
Yeah, well, I can't
go out there like this.
You gotta go out there.
It'll create more suspicion
if you don't.
Yeah, he's right, honey.
We just have to keep it together
until we can figure out
what's going on.
You try "keeping it together."
- Jeannie?
- This is crazy.
Do either of you have
any idea who did this?
Sorry,
I had a freak-out in there.
Sure. This is my partner,
Detective Bump.
So, yeah,
there was a huge guy in a mask
with a sword and snake tattoo.
And he burst into my room
and my parents and I
were having a family meeting.
- Okay.
- And he attacked my dad first.
And then my mom jumped in
and then he smothered her
and then my dad
and he came after me.
[Bill] Good job.
She's with us.
- [Melissa] Not so fast.
- [Jeannie] Shut up.
I can't concentrate
with you talking in my head.
Say, just out of curiosity,
would it be possible
for their souls
to be inside my body?
Sure.
Wait, what?
Whenever someone we love
passes, it's not uncommon
for their spirit
to still be with us.
It's a very beautiful,
moving reminder of them.
Okay. [chuckles]
I mean, like right now,
inside of me, talking to me.
Figures. Right? Just my luck.
Not only do my parents die,
but they end up inside of me.
Talk about being cursed.
[Melissa] Watch yourself,
young lady.
You're treading on thin ice.
[Bill] Yeah,
this isn't ideal for anyone.
Sure.
When my grandmother died,
she often periodically
visit me in my dreams.
Sometimes,
I could hear her voice
and sometimes,
she would give me gas.
You're gonna feel
a wave of emotions
throughout
this whole grieving process.
It's gonna be
one of the hardest things
you'll ever do.
Just hang in there, kid.
No, I don't mean like
some hallmark thing,
sweet idea to remember them by.
I mean, like my mom
is controlling the right side
of my body and my dad the left.
And I don't know
how it happened,
but we're all here.
Wait, that's it.
What? What's it?
- [Melissa] What are you saying?
- [Bill] Yeah, I'm lost.
- [Jeannie] The pendant.
- Are you okay?
I'm just tired and sad
and babbling to myself.
Right. We have a counselor
coming that you can talk to.
- She should be here any minute.
- [Bill] That's a big no.
[Melissa] Why not?
A counselor would be great.
[Bill] A therapist will chuck us
in the psych ward. Hard pass.
[Jeannie] Shit, dad's right.
So, where can I stay tonight?
[Melissa] Aunt Louise's?
Thank you for the offer.
I think I really just need rest,
so, I'm gonna stay
at my aunt's tonight.
So,
you're declining counseling
and you already have
a place to stay?
[playful music playing]
[Jeannie] Mom, Dad,
Mom, Dad, Mom, Dad.
[Melissa] This is Native
American land?
[Bill] Who knew?
[Jeannie] It's where the
Changva Nation rep works.
The person who sold
me the pendant said
she got it from them.
So, I need to talk to him.
And I need you guys
to chill out.
And all of L.A. was native land,
by the way. White privilege.
[Bill] I think
you mean implicit bias.
Mr. Singer.
Hi, I am Jeannie Steffi,
the high school junior.
Hello, Jeannie.
I'm the one
whose parents were killed.
I'm very sorry for your loss.
It's such a tragedy.
- How can I help you?
- Well, you probably can't help
but what I'm gonna tell you
is crazy.
[Melissa] Keep it positive,
please.
[Bill] Give him a chance
to help.
When my parents were killed.
[tense music playing]
Sylvia?
[music concludes]
This is Sylvia Chaplain.
She sold me the pendant
that led me here.
Hello.
I acknowledge
that we are on the lands
of those that came before us
and that my ancestors
were murderers, rapists,
and conquerors.
[sighs]
What are you doing here?
When you told me
about the pendant
and how it's in the
middle of your incident,
I thought maybe I should
learn more about it.
Hello.
Welcome.
Anyway, when my parents
were killed,
I was reading this pendant
three times
and rubbing it and praying
'cause I was scared.
Is there anything on there
about one soul
leaving their body,
leaving when someone dies?
Not exactly.
This is a "carry the strength
from prior generations
onto the next pendant."
Where's the keeping
negative spirits out part?
Not there.
What did you sell me?
- What do you mean?
- You were supposed
to sell me a pendant
that helps keep negative
- thinking and spirits out.
- Oh, sorry. My bad.
Great. You sold me
the wrong pendant.
Perfect. This just keeps
getting better.
Although if we're
being completely honest,
I actually made up the part
about read it three times
and pray.
Okay, so that was bullshit.
You added the read it
three times and pray part?
I was trying to help
the Changva.
[Melissa] Oh,
she's a piece of work.
Anyway, during the attack...
- something crazy happened.
- Okay?
Somehow or another,
when they died,
their souls left their body
and entered mine.
Excuse me?
I know, I wouldn't believe
it if it didn't happen.
Your deceased parents' spirits
entered your body?
I know it sounds crazy.
Is that possible?
You go to Inroads?
Both of you?
When you called, I didn't
know what to expect,
but I decided
to take you seriously
because it sound like
you were in need.
I am desperately in need.
This does not sound serious.
It sounds like you're making
fun of me and my people.
What?
No, I would never do that.
Hey, don't lump me in
with her.
I am just here to learn
At Inroads,
is there a bet to get
some local Native American
to buy some story?
- No.
- Is that what we are to you?
- A joke?
- I promise, no joke.
Do I have permission
to sock her?
I can't believe
you treat the memory
of your dead parents like this.
I don't even have words.
You're acting really weird.
Pretty sure you've gotten
crazy batshit psycho.
What the hell.
Mr. Singer, please don't go.
Damn it, Mom, Dad, can you help?
[combined voices]
Mr. Singer, we need
a minute of your time.
Holy shit.
This is really freaking me out.
- Where did you get this?
- I bought it online,
but there were two that
were exactly the same
and the rest were all different.
That's because you
were accidentally sent
the original artifacts.
This isn't a replica.
This is the pendant
of Niecy Waterman.
She was a chief
that led us into battle
to resist colonization,
which as you know, we lost.
White people are such a-holes.
Sorry.
It was created
to pass along strength
from one generation to the next.
But saying it three times,
it wouldn't do
what you say it did.
Okay, so what happened?
The only thing that I can
think of, it's an open prayer.
What does that mean?
It means it can evolve.
New things can happen.
It's not set in stone.
The way life evolves,
it isn't set in stone.
Okay?
And death for us,
the soul rises from the body.
Death of one organism
means life for another.
It's an act of pure sacrifice
that infuses the blessing.
This pendant
was also forged in battle,
which means there's an
energy element to it.
When spoken,
it absorbs the energy
around it and things can occur.
There is a lot
of energy around it.
I used a stun gun
during the attack
and I pressed it
so hard that it broke.
That's when this happened.
That explains
the crazy results.
You introduce an unexpected
new energy source,
you change a simple blessing
to a more complicated one.
[Melissa] This is
getting into wacky world.
[Bill] There's a lot
we don't know.
So, what do I do?
How do I fix it
and get my life back?
This happened yesterday?
If I understand this correctly,
you only have one chance
to undo this.
Exactly seven days to the
exact minute this occurred.
So, six days from today,
if you go to where you work,
repeat the prayer and replicate
the same energy source.
You can release their spirits
from their container.
Do you remember
what time it was?
[Jeannie] My reminder alarm
went off during the attack.
7:54 p.m.
That's it. All right.
Next Thursday, 7:54 p.m.
One other thing, this will
only work with a pendant
that isn't broken.
You said you have another?
No, I sold it to this anal
retentive parent, Rose Barron.
[Melissa] Oh no.
Maya Barron's mom.
- [Bill] We'll figure it out.
- See if you can get it back.
When you're done,
return it to me.
It belongs to us.
What happens
if I don't make it?
Their spirit will be forever
trapped in their vessel.
You, they'll take over
and your spirit will disappear.
- [Bill] What?
- [Melissa] Oh God.
Where will I go?
Into the universe
where they should be.
Can the spirits go
back into their bodies?
- No.
- [Melissa] Ah. Oh, no. Damn it.
Okay, so we have six days
to get the other pendant.
Replicate it precisely.
And if we screw up, I'm screwed.
Amazing. Good times.
I'm sorry.
But you realize this could only
happen to a special person.
Yeah, especially cursed.
This just doesn't happen.
This could only happen
to a truly special person.
You must have some great gifts.
Me? No.
You're wrong with that one.
Holy shit number two.
He's right. This is... [gasps]
Here I was thinking
that this was a bad thing
and that you're a psychopath.
But actually it's, it's, it's...
[gasps]
Special and... spiritual.
- Okay, enough, enough.
- [smooches]
But we can do this, dude,
We, I will help you and I'll
also learn at the same time.
And then we can get
the pendant back
and then we can replicate
this charge thing.
And you have to keep
your shit together.
Jesus. [exhales deeply]
See, when the spirit
is strong, a way opens,
things will fall into place.
She'll be there to help.
So, will I.
[playful music playing]
So, we gotta get that pendant
from Mrs. Barron.
It's like I see the world
a whole new way.
Catch you later.
- Jeannie, hey.
- [Bill] It's Rick.
[Melissa] Wow. I haven't
seen him in a while.
I'm Rick, your dad's partner.
- Hey.
- It's been a long time.
I haven't seen you
since you were...
- Yeah.
- Nice shirt by the way.
Very hip.
Thanks.
- What are you doing here?
- I'm looking for you.
- Okay.
- [Bill] We should talk to him.
We can trust him.
He can help us.
[Melissa] We need to be careful.
We don't know what
we're dealing with here.
- [Bill] Come on.
- I'm sorry about what happened.
Really sorry.
He was my friend.
I miss him.
[Bill] Miss you too, man.
- Thanks, he misses you too.
- [Melissa] That's really nice.
- [bell rings]
- On account if he's gone,
um, I actually have to take
care of a couple of things.
I need to get into our accounts
but your dad froze though
just before he was killed.
So, I need his social
and his accountant info.
Okay. Wow.
[Melissa] Bill, is that right?
[Bill] Yeah, there was
something weird going on
- with one of them.
- I don't have it here right now
and I'm actually running
kinda late.
Sure. I just don't have
your phone number
and this was the only way
I knew how to reach you.
- [Bill] He can help us.
- [Melissa] How?
[Bill] He can be an ally.
He can help me.
[Jeannie] Stop. I can't talk
while you're arguing
in my head.
Are you okay?
Yeah. Great.
[Bill] Come on,
let's say something.
[Melissa] No, just be patient.
Sure... The number?
[Melissa]
Don't give it to him.
[Bill] Give it to him
for God's sakes.
There's nothing wrong
with giving him my number.
- What?
- Nothing.
It's...
424-555-2121.
Oh, what's your number?
Um, 310-555-8188.
I'll be in touch.
- [Bill] Don't let him go.
- [Melissa] Bill. No.
[combined voices] Rick!
Did you call me?
Geez, you sounded
like your dad just now.
I'll be in touch.
Hey, I'm so sorry
about what happened.
That's nice.
Jeannie?
Hi Ms. Heels.
I'm so sorry for your loss.
How are you doing?
I am okay.
What are you doing here?
I need to talk to some people.
I'm trying to keep
a sort of regular schedule.
Can't say I'm surprised.
Let me know
if you need anything.
I'm here for you.
Hey.
- I've been thinking about you.
- Me too.
I had to see you.
How are you?
I'm okay. It's been insane.
I know. I'm so sorry.
It's on grieving.
There's a card in there
for a therapist.
My friend saw when they
lost their dad to cancer and...
they said they were great.
Thank you for this.
I've had so much
I wanted to tell.
[Melissa] That's incredibly
sweet.
[Bill] Yeah, who's this?
[Melissa] I think
it's Maya Barron.
[Bill] Holy crap, Maya Barron.
Anyway, we need to talk,
but I can't right now
about this.
Okay. Why?
Because somebody
might be listening.
I need to talk to you
about something else.
[Melissa] Okay, well,
she seems really cool.
[Bill] Too bad
about her parents.
Um, can you just ask your mom
if she still has
a Native American pendant
that she bought here
at school the other day?
- Oh, why?
- No reason.
Just, I had it on during
the accident and it broke.
It's important.
Okay, I'll ask.
So why can't we talk again?
Because it's like you said,
your parents don't want us
to be friends.
I'm dealing with a lot
and I don't wanna
jeopardize your summer tour.
I just wanted to see you.
Say hi.
Normal hi.
Look, I know I'm supposed
to be sensitive and all,
but when can I dispense
with the BS
and just tell you
how I really feel?
There's something I've
been wanting to tell you.
Not now. Not here.
Please.
Well, what if I can't later
or tomorrow?
This whole brush with death
has really made me
look at myself.
If it's taught us anything,
it's that life is short, right?
Life is short. And we gotta say
what we gotta say
when we gotta say it.
I gotta say it.
[combined voices] I agree.
I think you should just say it.
[combined voices] Melissa,
give her some space.
Look, I'm trying to tell you
- that I--
- I know.
We are great friends.
- Friends with--
- Deep souls.
We love our deep souls.
You like me, I like you.
The feeling's mutual and our
parents just hate each other.
Ah okay, friend.
I gotta go.
I'm not feeling well.
Bye.
Friends?
Gosh, what the?
In any murder investigation,
we talk to all people
close to the victims.
In cases like this, there's
always a motive or a reason.
We usually follow the money.
We talk to your dad's partner,
Rick.
He showed us the books
of the business.
They weren't doing too well.
He stands to gain nothing
from your father's death.
[Bill] It's true.
Business was down.
But there was something weird
I discovered
with one of the accounts.
My dad's business was down
and he said
there was something weird
with one of the accounts.
You should check that.
How do you know
about your dad's accounts?
Oh no... He told me.
So we're looking
into your father's partner
and your mom's situation
and coming up empty.
- [Melissa] Wait, what?
My situation?
In fact, your father's
partner said the one
who wanted to hurt your dad
the most was your mom.
Is that true?
Agh.
You seem uncomfortable.
It is just, whenever I talk
about my mom and dad,
I have these strange reactions.
Okay?
I just miss them so much.
I'm sure this is normal. Right?
[cutlery clinking]
Anyways, as best we can
tell, the only one who stands
to benefit financially from
your parents' death is you.
What?
You are the recipient
of both their life
insurance policies, correct?
I-- I guess.
And except for some
strange behavior,
you seem pretty well adjusted.
Going back to school.
[Melissa] That's ridiculous.
This is a nightmare.
[Bill] Melissa.
Believe you me, I am
not well adjusted at all.
How was your relationship
with your parents?
It's okay. Was.
They wanna know everything.
I want them out of my life.
You know,
just typical teen stuff.
Can be, except you and your
dad talked about his accounts.
Do you know anyone that
has anything against them?
No.
Jeannie, I know this
is a touchy subject.
- Anything you say is okay.
- Okay.
Was there any abuse
in the home?
- [Melissa] What?
- [Bill] Just relax.
- She's gotta ask that question
- With your dad.
[Bill] What? That's hideous.
Gross, no, not at all.
Did you have anything
to do with their murder?
- What? No.
- [suspenseful music playing]
Scholarship student
from West LA
at a rich school
in Santa Monica.
Not frustrated because you
couldn't do what you wanted
because you didn't have
the money.
Or was it that they abused you?
Look, this will go a lot quicker
if you just open up. Admit it.
[combined voices] Now,
listen here, Detective.
This is outrageous.
There is no way Jeannie, me,
I am responsible for this.
I may be acting a little weird,
but I was attacked too.
Is this how you spend your time?
Instead of doing this,
you should be out there
trying to find the real killer
and demanding the end
of systemic racism.
We are working all ankles.
[combined voices]
I'm so sorry, Detective.
It's just that I've been
going through so much.
Even if I wanted to,
I'm not capable of it.
My parents were kind
and decent people.
- My dad was a great man.
- Stop!
We're gonna need
to see your phone.
We'll be in touch.
Thanks.
Let's run a trace on her cell.
I wanna know
where she's at all times.
I never
seriously considered her,
but she's acting strangely.
Seriously, seriously, strangely.
What the fuck? You guys
can't control yourselves
and now I'm a murder suspect?
I can't live like this if
you're gonna keep doing this.
I'm sorry, honey.
Accusing me
of hurting your father
is just unthinkable.
It's not that unthinkable.
Remember when you said
you wished his brakes
would accidentally go out
going down Benedict Canyon?
I never said that.
When did I say that?
I don't know.
You want a sweet weekend
and he wouldn't do it.
I wasn't serious.
He drove me nuts.
I'm feeling so loved
right now.
Yeah, like you've never
said the same about me.
- Not to our daughter.
- Yeah. Well now,
I'm a murder suspect.
As if things going to get
any better.
No, no, no.
She doesn't suspect you.
Seriously, honey.
She's just fishing for leads
'cause she doesn't have
anything.
Well, she knows
that something's off
and is now looking at me.
- And stop taking over my body.
- Look, I'm sorry, honey,
but I don't know what
it's like for your mom.
For me, it's uncontrollable.
You know, something happens
and I react instinctively
and then suddenly
I'm taking over.
Yup, that's pretty much
what it is.
[grunts] I can't wait
for this to be over.
- [Bill] Me too.
- [Melissa] Me three.
[bright music playing]
[music concludes]
Maya said that her mom
does have the pendant.
Excuse me, Mrs. Barron?
Can we talk to you for a second?
Girls,
I'm sorry for your loss.
Your parents and I may
have had our differences,
but I don't wish that upon any.
- [Melissa] I'll say.
- [Bill] Can we just chill out?
- Thanks.
- I'm surprised you're here.
That's gutsy.
Shouldn't you be home grieving?
Yeah, well, I had some
things to take care of.
And my friend here, Sylvia,
she accidentally sold you
something that
she shouldn't have.
- That Native American pendant.
- Yeah, you know how it is.
I have so much going on
right now.
I reach for something,
hand you something else.
Textbook case of a screw up.
So, it would
just be really wonderful
if we could just get that back.
How are you involved in this?
I'm a friend and ally.
Well, you know, actions
have consequences.
[Melissa] Ugh,
she's insufferable.
- [Bill] Let's just see.
- Yeah, they do.
- [bell rings]
- If...
you could just help us out,
we'd be so grateful.
Maya also asked me
about this pendant
and now you are here.
Something's fishy.
- [distant chatters]
- You two are up to something.
Does this have something
to do with your parents' death,
trafficking and illegal
artifacts?
What? No.
- [Melissa] Son of a bitch.
- [Bill] Melissa.
[combined voices] Mrs.
Barron, how could you say that?
She, I asked you
a kind question
and you bring up
my parents' murder?
No, no. This is about
giving the Changva back
what is rightfully theirs.
Like I said before,
I made a mistake
and I'm just trying not
to further choke out
these decimated people.
Spare me
the ancestral land BS.
We won. They lost.
You know what cranberry sauce
turkey is?
Thanksgiving. Get over it.
I don't see you giving back
your family's wealth.
Hear me when I say this,
"Stay away from Maya."
She's going through
a tough time.
You know her father
and I control a lot.
And your parents aren't here
to protect you.
So, I don't want you
hanging out with her.
God knows what your parents
were involved with
to get themselves killed.
I don't wanna know.
And maybe it's time
for a new school.
One that's more of a bit.
You pursue this, I'll make
life very difficult for you.
What the hell
is wrong in there?
How are we gonna get the pendant
if you keep pissing off
the person who has it?
Honestly, this is just
a whole disaster zone.
No surprise, right?
Look, if you wanna bail,
I get it.
Honestly, sometimes,
I don't know who I'm talking to.
- Kind of freak.
- That makes four of us.
[Melissa] Ugh, that woman.
[Jeannie]
It isn't just that woman.
[Bill] Mel, we've gotta
work together.
[Melissa] I'm working
on behalf of our daughter
and this world.
Look, you've been amazing.
If you want to take off,
I get it.
Would you stop
with the quitting talk?
When the going gets rough,
the rough don't bail.
We'll just have to figure out
another way to get the pendant.
[breathes deeply]
I can't believe I'm saying this.
Do I have to be
the positive one here?
Jesus. Four days,
we'll make it happen.
[solemn music playing]
Jeannie, hey.
- Hey.
- [Bill] Rick.
[Melissa]
What's he doing here?
I've been texting you.
haven't heard back.
I'm in a bit of a jam time-wise
and I need that account info.
Right.
I really don't have time
right now.
Would it help if I came over?
- [Bill] Yes.
- [Melissa] No.
- No.
- You sure?
I'm good at finding things.
Sort of like a GPS bloodhound
meet Sherlock Holmes.
It's my superpower.
I'm good.
Sure, no problem.
I just have to
get through the piles.
Of course. Of course.
I hope you're okay.
Have a good day.
- [Bill] Maybe he can help.
- [combined voices] Don't go!
- Excuse me?
- I gotta go.
Bye.
[loud keyboard tapping]
[Melissa] What are you doing?
[Jeannie] Those detectives
really think I'm a suspect.
We're being watched.
So, I'm researching what we
know about our attacker.
We know it wasn't me.
Can either of you
think of anyone who had
- anything against you?
- [Melissa] Not me.
[Jeannie] Dad. Dad.
Hmm, oh, sorry. Just got down.
There's so much more
I wanted to do.
Ah yeah, no, I can't think
of anybody who'd do this.
[key clicks]
[Melissa] That's good.
- Yeah, but I don't see hours.
- [keys click]
Dad, what's your password?
[Bill] All right,
but don't look.
[keys click]
And you can never go to PornHub.
[keys clicking]
Holy crap.
Oh no.
[Melissa] Unbelievable.
Ended by a fucking guy.
Way to go, Bill.
Thanks for killing me.
[Bill] I didn't kill you.
I don't know what Rick was doing
or why this Spencer guy killed
us. I still can't believe it.
[Melissa] Well, it has
nothing to do with me
except I was
in the goddamn room.
Stop, both of you.
This is the guy,
same size, same tattoo.
Gives me the creeps
just seeing him again.
And he's connected
to my dad's business partner
who keeps visiting me
and asking for my dad's
social security number
and account information.
Yeah, that's what you said
on the phone.
So, we checked it out.
This guy has a lead-tight alibi.
He was at his nephew's
performance.
We tracked his phone,
it was there all night.
And your dad's partner, Rick,
he was home alone,
but his phone was there too.
The evidence backs up the alibi.
How'd you come across all this?
The photo with the guy
and the tattoo.
- Just Facebook.
- Really?
Because we noticed
you're not on Facebook.
[Bill] Tell her
you're using my account.
It's my dad's.
It helps me deal with my grief.
Do you do that a lot?
Use your dad's accounts?
No, it was the first time.
The thing is, these
guys don't have motive.
We've been monitoring
their business accounts
and there's nothing
strange going on there.
What do they have the game?
But you, you do.
We talked to your friend Maya.
She said that you stage
an incident at school
with your teacher.
So clearly, you have experience
manipulating situations.
Meanwhile, you're back at school
hardly affected,
but acting strangely.
Not in a grieving strangely,
more of a what we call,
I did something and now it's
catching up with me strangely.
Is that
what you seriously think?
I don't know what to think.
It's looking worse and worse
for you over time.
Have you even cried over
your parents' death?
I feel like
they're still with me.
- We're dead.
- [bright music playing]
I have a huge favor to ask.
It is important.
Can you secretly nab
that pendant from your mom
- and lend it to me?
- I could.
Yeah, if I didn't just
give my parents the finger
- and tell them to F themselves.
- What?
You're inspiring me
to live, dude. [chuckles]
My parents don't need to know
shit about my personal life.
And even if they do,
who gives a shit?
[Bill] What's she talking
about?
[Melissa] That's probably why
Mrs. Barron was so difficult.
- Can you just grab the pendant?
- Do you hear what I'm saying?
- [chuckles]
- Who cares?
This is good news, man.
You and I have way
bigger things to tackle.
It's such a relief.
[Melissa] I have no idea
what she's talking about.
Look, can you just go
and borrow the pendant from
your mom and give it to me?
It is really important to me.
I'll try. I'll try.
My mom keeps her things
under lock and key.
But look, in the meantime,
I've been doing
some research on grief
and I know you need your space.
So let's just focus
on the dance, okay?
We are way behind.
And this affects my grade too.
- Yeah. Okay.
- Let's do some steps.
[Jeannie] Guys,
- need you to work together.
- Five, six, seven, eight.
- Two, three, five, six.
- [rhythmic music playing]
Two, three, put it down.
[Melissa] Come on, Bill.
Catch up.
- [Bill] I'm trying.
- [Melissa] Shut up.
[groans]
- [music continues]
- [indistinct chatter]
- Point.
- [Melissa] No,
that's not right.
You gotta shuffle.
- [Bill] I am shuffling.
- [Melissa] Let me show you.
Wait.
Look.
[Bill] That's what
I was doing.
[Melissa] That's not it.
[Bill] Wait,
I wasn't finished.
Oh. Mm-hmm.
- Stop!
- [groans]
Jeannie, are you okay?
Geez.
Can I have just a moment?
Sure. Yeah.
Um, Ladies, let's take five,
okay. Clear the stage.
[footsteps receding]
You two are a couple
of huge assholes.
[combined voices]
I've never been more insulted
in my life.
You can't talk me like that.
[Bill] That is a little harsh.
You are the most close
assholes I have ever met.
[combined voices]
What has gotten into you?
Who are you?
- What the hell is that?
- Well. [sighs]
For better or worse,
this is who I am now.
My parents like to show up
in different ways.
You don't have to
like fake something
or put on a big act
to push me away.
[Melissa]
What's she talking about?
Not faking.
And I'm not acting.
I'm also not hiding anything.
I know you enough
to know that this is bullshit.
I literally gave my parents
the finger for you.
At least you could treat
me with some respect.
Feels like you're just jerking
me around.
I wish it was bullshit.
It's not.
Okay, well, before,
it was like we're just friends
and now it's like I'm crazy.
Is this connected
to your parents
or is it feels like
you're not telling me something?
Well, I guess I am
because the latest
is I am a straight up
suspect in their death.
So yeah, you wanna just be free?
Go. Be free of me.
Because even if I told you
what is going on with me,
you're not gonna believe it.
At least you could respect
me enough to tell me.
Take that risk, right?
I know you're not involved
in your parents' death,
so just have some balls
and break up with me.
What did I ever do
besides love you?
[Jeannie sobbing]
I guess we know why you were
so upset the other night.
How long have you
and Maya been together?
A couple of weeks.
Why didn't you tell us?
How have things been?
Like we were meant
to be together.
She made me feel like
no one ever has.
She's super sweet.
It's like we were a connection
between two worlds
that just hated each other.
Well that's great.
Yeah. I'm sure if you go back,
you can get back together
with her.
That's not why I'm upset.
At least not totally.
Why are you upset?
I just wish that
you two were together.
Well, honey,
sometimes people split.
Yeah, it doesn't mean
that we don't love you.
Give me a break.
Not together together.
Just on the same page.
I don't know what to say.
Well, why aren't
you two together?
I never did ask you that.
[inhales sharply, sighs]
Truthfully,
I knew it was wrong
before you were born
and I just kept it together
'cause that's what I thought
I should do.
And then when we got divorced
when you were one,
I thought he'd be out
of my life forever. [chuckles]
I was really shocked
when I realized
that that was just the beginning
of the relationship.
And I wanted to end things,
but...
I couldn't.
M-- What? M-- Me, my turn?
Sorry. Um...
When we split, I was
more hurt than I let on.
A lot more.
And truthfully, as a man,
I was not used to a woman
with that much power.
I felt threatened
and as progressive
as I thought I was,
I never saw her
as my true equal.
And for that, I'm sorry.
You know,
you never plan for these things.
You have to make it up
as you go along.
So this has nothing
to do with me.
What, us breaking up?
Nothing.
You guys are just...
too flat.
People that didn't fit.
Trying your best
in a hella hard situation.
Yep.
Well, you couldn't hate
each other that much.
Mom jumped on the guy the minute
you were attacked, dad.
[knocking on door]
[delivery man]
You've been served.
[Jeannie] Are you sure
there's no other pendant?
No, sorry,
there's no other pendant.
I got it.
Let's say you go ask for it back
under the whole cultural
appropriation thing
because it was sold
on school grounds.
It's genius.
- [Melissa] That's a good idea.
- [Bill] That'll work.
That'll take too long.
You know, we'll probably
not get it back in time.
- [Melissa] Damn.
- [Bill] Sorry, honey.
And I just had to give
my dad's partner, Rick,
all of the account info
because he served me
with a court order.
You're both doing fine.
You've done
some amazing things here.
Everything that you need,
you have.
You've identified
the pendant as a cause.
You met me, you're out
looking for the other pendant.
You got this.
So this whole
spiritual guidance thing
doesn't include
like practical help?
Like what if a special one
over here is getting hassled
by supporters and I need to...
[grunts] ...you know, step in?
It can,
but what it's really about
is knowing when to do
that and when not to.
Sometimes, you just
have to believe in her.
I'm here when you need me.
Right now, you don't need me.
God, you're an F-ing genius.
- Sorry.
- One other thing.
Until you find your way forward,
find the safest place
you can with other people.
This guy, Rick, he knows
you're a witness against him.
[tense music playing]
- [Melissa] Good advice.
- [Bill] Amen.
[bright music playing]
- [Melissa] I like Singer.
- [Bill] He's a good guy. Stop.
- That's it.
- What?
[Bill] Follow the money.
Rick is trying to get money.
Right, with a what?
[Bill] So he can invest
in this IPO
he's getting so excited about.
[indistinct chatter]
Sterling.
This is my friend,
Spencer Troth.
Cool. Glad you could be here.
- This is exciting.
- It is.
Glad you could be
on the ground floor.
Me too.
We're still on track
for that investment.
Definitely.
The fund should be
available tomorrow.
Cool.
How do you even
do something like this?
Oh, it's been one hell
of a ride, let me tell you.
But when all is said and done,
this guy is gonna be
a very rich man.
As long as he's out there,
I'll be a suspect
and then he'll have money.
We can't let him
get away with this.
For once, I actually agree,
but the more that I say
to that detective,
the more guilty I become.
Yeah, no,
that's not an option.
But we have to take action.
Mm, hold on a second.
We don't need to do anything.
All we need to do
is stay safe for the day,
get the pendant
and break the curse.
Which is why
we have to do it now.
Do what?
I know this sounds nuts,
but we have to break
into Rick's apartment,
steal back the account info
and prevent him
from getting that money.
Uh, what?
Okay, wait,
let's take a breath here.
Melissa, you do realize this
endangers us all, right?
Look, I know I'm not known
for being wild
and crazy or reckless.
And actually right now,
I'm not even known
for being alive.
But if I do anything else
on the face
of this earth, I wanna stop him.
I actually agree.
I know it sounds crazy.
I mean, it's dangerous
and illegal, but it's right.
I have a plan.
I think we should do it.
Well, I think it's reckless
and loco
and it puts Jeannie's life
at risk.
[sighs] Why do you wanna do it?
Part of me feels like
if I didn't
have the meltdown I had,
the two of you would
still be here today.
I know you may not agree
or understand,
but that's how I feel.
So stopping this guy
could help with that.
I wanna honor you...
and I think it could
help in a lot of ways,
But we can't do it without you
because you're the only one
who knows how to break
into his apartment.
Well,
it doesn't make sense to me,
but I think we need
to do what you both want.
And we don't have to break
into his apartment.
I have a back doorway
into the accounts.
[Melissa grunts]
I just got a text
from the Steffi girl,
"Monitor my dad's
business accounts tonight
starting at an hour
and then follow me everywhere."
"Don't let me out
of your sight."
[Jeannie] You said
something was off
with one of your accounts.
- Can we check that?
- [Bill] Sure.
- [Jeannie] What's that?
- [Bill] What?
- [Jeannie] That.
- [Bill] I dunno.
Haven't seen that before.
- [Jeannie] Can I click on it?
- [Bill] Sure.
Holy shit. There it is.
[Melissa] It's like
a different set of books.
[Bill] Rick is falsifying
loans, he'll make so much
he might even try to repay it
before anyone else notices.
Go to settings
and a new password.
- Awesome. We did it.
- [Melissa] Woo-hoo.
[Vanessa] Morris.
[officer] Detective,
this is cyber surveillance.
The subject asked us
to monitor, the daughter,
just access her dad's business
account and change the password.
She also tried to delete
the account.
It looks like she's preparing
to transfer or withdraw funds.
Okay, thanks.
Let's put a revolving tail
on her 24/7.
[officer] Copy that.
Why would she do that?
Break into her dad's
business accounts
and then tell us about it?
Guilty people do things all
the time I don't understand.
I think she's trying
to communicate with us.
[keyboard clacking]
What the fuck? [sighs]
[clears throat]
- [Wesley] Yo.
- Wesley, Rick Black.
Having a bit of a problem
and I need a favor.
Someone seems to have
gotten into my account
and changed the setting.
So could you check
the IP address on that for me?
[Wesley] Sure. Hit me.
Uh, it's 310.672.932.546.
[Wesley] The login
credentials were your partners.
Looks like it was the back door,
but it was accessed
by a computer,
which has a phone recovery
number of 424-555-2121.
Thanks, Wes. Appreciate it.
So we don't have the pendant,
but I do have a plan.
Actually, I think we should
just run up to Rose Barron
and cry Doctrine of Discovery
and then rip it out
of her grubby little paws.
I actually do have
a better plan.
Just get your girlfriend
to make sure
that her mom has it tonight
at the dance performance.
Then while you and your girl
are doing your thing,
I will find a way to grab it
for the Changva
and then we'll go back
to your place
for our 7:54 PM ceremony.
It'll be a little tight,
but I think we'll make it.
- Okay.
- And I'll be there.
You seem different.
Let's just say things
are going pretty well
with my parents.
I learned some things
that were helpful
and since then, I've gained
more control over my body.
- [Melissa] Which is so cool.
- [Bill] Totally.
- I think that's what'll happen.
- What?
As you become your own person
and you start
to believe in yourself,
you get more and more
power over your body.
See you again soon,
oh, original one.
Excuse me, sir.
- Hi.
- Hi. Um...
Could I just talk to you
for a second?
I'm really close friends
with Jeannie Steffi,
and I just have some questions.
[playful music playing]
- Hey.
- Hey.
What?
I know your situation.
I'm not sure
what you think you know.
I know.
How?
I talked to Mr. Singer.
Oh!
You're not freaked?
Totally makes sense now.
I'm inspired
by what you're doing, man.
You are a legend.
So do your parents know?
They know.
Hi, Mr. and Mrs. Steffi.
[combined voices]
It is so nice to meet you.
Hey.
Okay. [chuckles]
So my mom, ever the spy,
knows I'm totally
not giving up on you.
Anyways, my parents have
withdrawn me from this school.
What?
- [Melissa] Oh, no.
- [Bill] Man.
Yep. If I even wanna graduate,
I have to do it somewhere else.
I'm so sorry.
Give me a moment.
What the fuck?
Maybe it's a sign.
Yeah, a sign that I'm not
good for her or for others.
A sign that I'm cursed.
- [Melissa] Don't say that.
- [Bill] Totally not true.
Hey, hey, hey.
It's not all about you.
Maybe this whole thing is
about helping Maya too.
Remember? Being a bridge.
When are you gonna realize
that your gifts are for others,
not just you?
When did you get good?
So, can we still do our thing?
Yes.
My mom brought the pendant.
It's in her bag wrapped
in a handkerchief.
I told her
they were acknowledging her
for her support
for Native Americans. [chuckles]
[indistinct chatter]
[audience applauding]
["Bored of You" playing]
Living in Wild Old West
Stranded here together
How nauseous would you love
When I just came to
Magnet when we touch
Baby, I'm no better
I've been on the run so long
'Cause I'm a force of nature
I'm a loaded gun
Into you, I'm into you
[upbeat music indistinct lyrics]
Into you, I'm into you
[upbeat music indistinct lyrics]
But now I'm a little bit
Bored of you
Ole ole ole ole ole
Bored of you
Ole ole ole ole ole
Bored of you
[lyrics in foreign language ]
I know just what you like
But I just can't
Now disappear
[lyrics in foreign language]
Come on tonight
[lyrics in foreign language]
Make me feel right
We did things I'd never do
And now I'm a little bit
Bored of you
I'm into you
Into you, I'm into you
Now they're into you
Into you, into you
[audience applauding]
Our next performance features
a very special young woman,
Jeannie Steffi,
performing a dance
called Breaking Down Barriers.
[audience applauding]
[Jeannie] Are we ready for this?
[Melissa] Yep.
[Bill] Been stretching
my left hammy all night.
[lively music playing]
[upbeat music playing]
[Melissa] What's happening?
[Jeannie] I have total
control over everything now.
[Bill] Cool.
For your body
For your body
Don't worry
Don't worry
[speaker] Don't put
off effort at the places
where effort count, low.
[audience cheering, applauding]
- [Melissa] Woo!
- [Bill] Wow. That was crazy.
I feel so alive.
Oh, shoot. Um...
I left my phone in the bathroom.
I'll be right back.
[playful music playing]
We don't have time.
Jesus,
you like cutting things close.
[suspenseful music playing]
- [gasps]
- Don't move.
I don't know how you did it.
I know there's all kinds
of crazy shit going on in there,
but whatever the case,
I need access
to those accounts tonight.
Ah!
What are you doing?
That's for getting
me involved with this.
What? What the... What?
Hey, hey, hey. Cut the crap.
These are my friends.
I don't wanna hurt you,
but I need the password.
I need to transfer funds now.
I don't know
what you're talking about.
- [Melissa] Ah!
- [Bill] Shit.
Bill, I know you're
in there somewhere.
Listen, Jeannie,
she's innocent here.
If you don't wanna see her
get hurt,
just give me what I need
and I'll be on my way.
[Melissa] Give it to him.
[Bill] Totally. Give it to him.
[Jeannie] I got this.
No, I'm not gonna let
you get away with it.
So if you have to do it, do it.
Fine.
[Melissa] Jeannie,
what are you doing?
[Bill] Don't do this.
It's okay.
He can't kill me because
I have the password.
Shit! Great.
Oh, hey, I made it.
- Freeze.
- Whoa.
Come here. Come here.
[playful music playing]
Okay,
so you won't save yourself.
- Maybe you'll save your friend.
- Don't do that!
What the fuck is happening?
- Maya?
- Jesus!
Come here.
- Don't
- [Rick] Come.
I can give you anything.
[Rick] Come over here.
Okay.
Do you want me to start
with her then go to her?
[alarm ringing]
Back off!
Stop.
It's okay.
Your alarm is going off.
We gotta move. 7:52.
Let's go. Any day now.
If we don't start now,
we're gonna miss our time.
Your spirit will go.
[Melissa] Jeannie,
you've gotta do it.
We are not losing you.
[Bill] Mom's right.
You have to live.
Fine. It's in my backpack.
- [Melissa] Jeannie, what?
- [Bill] No!
[Jeannie] Go! Go!
Okay.
I really don't wanna hurt you.
[Bill] Hurt me?
I'm gonna kill you.
Just give me what I need.
Quit resisting.
You're such a prick.
Just calm down
and stop resisting.
It'll be okay. I'm watching you.
And you're nothing. Nobody.
No friends,
no talents, all alone.
Just give me the password
and it'll all go away.
[Melissa] You have no idea
the power of a woman.
This isn't just about me.
- [grunts]
- [groans]
You okay?
[Bill] Jeannie, oh, my God.
I can't even tell you
how amazing that was.
[Melissa] I'm speechless
at what you just did.
You missed your time.
- Jeannie?
- Yeah?
Act of pure sacrifice
infuses the blessing.
Fine. It's in my backpack.
You committed an act
of pure sacrifice.
Remember, the pendant
is infused with that.
What is happening?
Just watch.
Let go of life, be calm.
There's nothing
to worry about anymore.
You're not the first to come
here and you won't be the last.
Those that have come before you
are with you now.
Allow the past
to flow through you
and the future to flow from you.
It took seven generations
to bring you here.
It will take seven
generations to bring the next.
I'm an important link
in the chain. Now.
[wind blowing]
[electricity zapping]
[gentle music playing]
Mom?
I love you, sweetheart.
You got this.
How do you know?
Because I know
what you're made of.
Dad.
If you ever look around,
you don't see me or feel me,
I'm there.
Show the world your gifts.
You are a bridge.
I love you.
I love you too.
We will always,
always be with you.
Have fun.
And don't forget to laugh.
[Jeannie] Mr. Singer.
You are the best thing
that's ever happened to me.
[both laugh]
Hell yeah, special one.
You're the type of chick
I want to come around
Flying to the sky
And bring the sun down
So we can see
The stars in the moonlight
Girl, it's just me
And you tonight
We can go anywhere
Let's fly away
Don't worry about a thing
I'll find a way
We can go to a place
Where the water's clear
Need the shadow where
The moon, where nobody's there
'Cause ain't nothing
In the world like true love
Have you feeling like this
Nothing else out there
When I look up in your eyes
I can feel the rush
'Cause ain't nothing
Like your love
I can't wait to fall
In love with you
I can't wait to fall
In love with you
I can't wait to fall
In love with you
I can't wait to fall
In love with you
I'd fly across the sky
To be with you
To walk the beach with you
'Cause ain't nothing
Like your love
Ain't nothing like your love
See, you're the type of chick
I want to bring home
Bring you back to mama
Just to show off
Like a plaque on the wall
That don't come off
You're just everything
I want, girl, real talk
Like the wind
That's beating on a hot day
When you're down
You always know what to say
Sit me down
And put me in a better place
Lets me off
And tell me it'll be okay
'Cause ain't nothing
In the world like your love
Have you feeling like this
Nothing else out there
When I look up in your eyes
I can feel the rush
'Cause ain't nothing
Like your love
I can't wait to fall
In love with you
I can't wait to fall
In love with you
I can't wait to fall
In love with you
I can't wait to fall
In love with you
I'd fly across the sky
To be with you
To walk the beach with you
'Cause ain't nothing
Like your love
Ain't nothing like your love
Ain't nothing like your love
Ain't nothing like your love
Ain't nothing like your love
Yeah, yeah
No I said I can hardly wait
To fall in love with you
I can hardly wait
To fall in love with you
'Cause I can hardly wait
To fall in love with you
I can hardly wait
To fall in love with you
I can hardly wait
To fall in love with you
I can hardly wait
To fall in love with you.
I can hardly wait
To fall in love with you
I can hardly wait
To fall in love with you
