00:00:00And Tithonus was just a mortal, yet they fell in love.
00:00:06Eos asked Zeus to bless her lover with eternal life
00:00:10so that Tithonus, too, could be immortal.
00:00:13But she forgot to ask Zeus to also grant Tithonus eternal youth.
00:00:20He kept aging and aging forever.
00:00:23Miss Jenkins, pay attention.
00:00:27Devastated, Eos eventually accepted.
00:00:31She had to let Tithonus go.
00:00:33Such a tragic story and such a beautiful sculpture.
00:00:37Don't you all agree, class?
00:00:42Shall we move on?
00:00:48Let's misbehave.
00:00:50Why did you touch that?
00:00:52Because it's old and beautiful and full of mystery.
00:00:55Oh, was it everything you thought it was going to be?
00:00:57It was.
00:00:59Hey, listen.
00:01:01What do you suppose is over there?
00:01:03A sign that says, do not enter?
00:01:05Exactly. Let's have an adventure.
00:01:07Come on. Let's go see.
00:01:09Bee, why is it that the second you're told you're not allowed to do something
00:01:12is the second you decide you simply have to do it?
00:01:16I'm going.
00:01:18Wet blanket.
00:01:25Let's go.
00:01:55Let's go.
00:02:26Hey!
00:02:28You there!
00:02:30What are you doing in here?
00:02:33Learning about Egypt.
00:02:35This area is off limits.
00:02:37The whole wing is being renovated.
00:02:39Didn't you see the sign?
00:02:41A sign, you say?
00:02:43What kind of sign?
00:02:45I'm almost positive.
00:02:47I definitely probably did not see a sign, I think.
00:02:49Are you sure there is one?
00:02:51Yeah, you went to school, right?
00:02:53Come on. Let me take you back to your group.
00:02:55Okay, okay. I'll go with you, but...
00:02:59Can you just close your eyes for five seconds?
00:03:01It's a magic trick. It's a really good one.
00:03:08Come on. Let's go.
00:03:16I should have stayed on night shift.
00:03:24Thank you for visiting the Spectral Valley Museum.
00:03:27We hope you've had an enlightened experience.
00:03:30Orderly now! Everyone, follow me!
00:03:32Quickly! Quickly!
00:03:54I think we're going to be really happy here.
00:03:56Right?
00:04:02Yes, Norman. That's right.
00:04:07Yes, we are.
00:04:27Thank you, guys.
00:04:29Now, yes, please put the boxes in there.
00:04:32All those boxes go in the bedroom.
00:04:36Yes.
00:04:40I'm not sure...
00:04:53I don't know.
00:04:55I don't know.
00:05:21So...
00:05:24No one's ever been excited about school, ever, Mama.
00:05:27You're right. It's high school.
00:05:29It's meant to be miserable by design.
00:05:36What are you doing?
00:05:38Right now, just unenrolling from choir and chess club.
00:05:43Well, you're opting out of all the school groups.
00:05:46Even the music ones?
00:05:48You used to love band back in the city.
00:05:50I'm fine. Really.
00:05:52It's time for you to make some friends.
00:05:54Put yourself out there.
00:05:56And practice music again.
00:05:58You've barely touched your guitar since...
00:06:00Mama, can we not, please?
00:06:02I'm just saying, it feels like you...
00:06:07Is that Norman?
00:06:22Yeah.
00:06:43Everything okay up there?
00:06:45Yeah, Mama. Everything's fine.
00:06:48Is that your dad?
00:06:58Hey!
00:07:00I was talking to you.
00:07:04They never answer back.
00:07:10Oh, sure.
00:07:12You can see me.
00:07:15Ever watchful,
00:07:17like the eyes of God
00:07:19over American society.
00:07:23Over Tom and Myrtle's affair.
00:07:27Over Nick's passiveness.
00:07:29And, yes, over Gatsby's lavish parties,
00:07:32which made their way into the collective consciousness
00:07:36of a nation.
00:07:38Our newest arrival,
00:07:40Mr. Cole Sanchez.
00:07:44Tell us, what do you think
00:07:46the parties in the book represent?
00:07:51Um...
00:07:55I haven't read the book yet.
00:07:59Anyone else?
00:08:02No one?
00:08:04Oh, come on!
00:08:06If you kids cannot be bothered
00:08:09to read a book starring Leonardo DiCaprio,
00:08:13what chances does literature have
00:08:15with this book?
00:08:17I don't know.
00:08:19I don't know.
00:08:21I don't know.
00:08:23I don't know.
00:08:25If you can't be bothered to read a book starring Leonardo DiCaprio,
00:08:30what chances does literature have with this generation?
00:08:34All right.
00:08:36Guys, please go over what we reviewed today.
00:08:40Don't forget, ten more pages to read.
00:08:52Mr. Sanchez.
00:08:55Why did you lie?
00:08:57Why did you say you didn't read the book?
00:09:03I just, um...
00:09:06I don't know.
00:09:09I was a bit like you growing up.
00:09:14Kept my opinions to myself.
00:09:16Hated being in the spotlight.
00:09:18Did everything I could to be invisible.
00:09:23It is a very boring way to live your life.
00:09:28There's death around you.
00:09:53Excuse me?
00:09:55Excuse me?
00:09:56Your bread, there's a hole in it.
00:09:59Okay.
00:10:00A small hole is fine.
00:10:01That's just an air bubble.
00:10:02But a hole that big, that means death.
00:10:06Does it mean like I'm gonna die?
00:10:08Could be that.
00:10:09Could be someone who's already dead
00:10:11is having an influence in your life.
00:10:15I'm Lydia.
00:10:16We have Mr. Porter together.
00:10:18Ah.
00:10:20Cool.
00:10:22You should let me cleanse your aura sometime.
00:10:25Figure out if something's haunting you or whatever.
00:10:27Sure.
00:10:28My grandpa owns the only supernatural bookstore in town.
00:10:31Plus, I have a YouTube channel.
00:10:34If you want to learn more about this kind of stuff.
00:10:37May I?
00:10:39Okay.
00:10:47Been posting regularly for two years now.
00:10:50So you've had this channel for two years
00:10:52but you only have 12 subscribers?
00:10:54It's a niche markup.
00:10:57Nope, no, yeah, yeah.
00:11:01Thanks.
00:11:07Oh boy.
00:11:09You ate the hole.
00:11:11Am I bad?
00:11:13I don't know.
00:11:15Don't be mad at me if you're cursed though.
00:11:45Don't be mad at me if you're cursed though.

00:12:52Beatrix Jenkins...
00:13:13♪♪
00:13:23You used to live here?
00:13:26Huh.
00:13:28♪♪
00:13:38♪♪
00:13:46That's private, mister.
00:13:48♪♪
00:13:58♪♪
00:14:06Okay, this is going away.
00:14:09♪♪
00:14:19Ay!
00:14:21♪♪
00:14:31♪♪
00:14:41♪♪
00:14:51♪♪
00:14:57Hmm.
00:14:59♪♪
00:15:01Whoa, is that the ring I took from you?
00:15:03Ah!
00:15:05♪♪
00:15:15Oh, my God!
00:15:16You just saw me, didn't you?
00:15:18You just saw me! You just saw me!
00:15:20♪♪
00:15:25There.
00:15:26It's the ring.
00:15:27When you put it on, you...
00:15:30Okay, can you please stop that?
00:15:32It's very annoying.
00:15:33No, no, no.
00:15:35Uh-uh.
00:15:36♪♪
00:15:40Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no.
00:15:42Oh, this can't be happening.
00:15:44This is not real.
00:15:45Wait.
00:15:46♪♪
00:15:56♪♪
00:16:06♪♪
00:16:16♪♪
00:16:19Okay, okay, okay.
00:16:22Can you please just keep the ring on this time?
00:16:24Please?
00:16:25♪♪
00:16:30♪♪
00:16:34Hi.
00:16:35I'm Bea.
00:16:37I haunt your bedroom.
00:16:39♪♪
00:16:50You have to say something.
00:16:51So you're a ghost?
00:16:52Correct.
00:16:53Like, as in that you were,
00:16:55but, like, no longer are?
00:16:57Well, I suppose I still am.
00:16:59Just...immaterial now.
00:17:03I can touch things if I focus,
00:17:05just not living people.
00:17:07Fine.
00:17:09So you're...you're dead.
00:17:11But, like, how did you come back?
00:17:15I'm not sure, exactly.
00:17:18I was at this museum.
00:17:20That's where I found the ring.
00:17:22And then when I was walking out,
00:17:23I was hit by a car.
00:17:25Oh, my God, Bea!
00:17:28You were hit by a car?
00:17:29It was a doozy.
00:17:31Yeah, I'm sure.
00:17:33No, I remember it.
00:17:34It was a doozy.
00:17:35A Dusenberg?
00:17:37The car?
00:17:38I don't think they have those around anymore.
00:17:39In any case, when I was alive,
00:17:40they were the eel's hips.
00:17:42The bee's knees.
00:17:44The berries.
00:17:45You're just saying words,
00:17:46just random words.
00:17:48Dusenberg cars were very special,
00:17:50is what I mean.
00:17:51In any case, I was hit by one.
00:17:53And then the next thing I know,
00:17:55I'm in my bedroom.
00:17:57Well, our bedroom now.
00:18:01I don't know what happened in between.
00:18:03You know, from me to the car to that moment,
00:18:05it was a blink of an eye.
00:18:07After a while, I figured out that I was one.
00:18:10Trapped here.
00:18:14For Pete's sake.
00:18:16Spacious dining room?
00:18:19And two, not exactly material.
00:18:23This original Tiffany pendant.
00:18:25There's also me.
00:18:27The house comes with me.
00:18:28Did you feel a chill?
00:18:30So much to love about this house.
00:18:32It's close to the city.
00:18:34It's a great school district.
00:18:36And the neighborhood is great for kids.
00:18:40The house is haunted, by the way.
00:18:42Eventually, I just kind of accept it.
00:18:47Gold house.
00:18:49Accepted it.
00:18:52Yeah.
00:18:55That I'm a ghost.
00:18:57And I'm haunting this place.
00:18:59And that no one can hear me or see me.
00:19:03Well, until you now.
00:19:10Oh, Mom!
00:19:13She can't see me.
00:19:16Are you ready for school?
00:19:17Yeah, yeah.
00:19:18I'll be right down.
00:19:20Are you okay?
00:19:21You look a little pale.
00:19:22Yeah, like you've seen a ghost or something.
00:19:25Okay, sorry.
00:19:26Silly joke.
00:19:27Poor timing.
00:19:28Yeah, no.
00:19:29I'm fine.
00:19:30Okay, well, hurry up.
00:19:31I gotta get going.
00:19:32Okay.
00:19:36Do you go to Spectral Valley High?
00:19:38Because that's where I went to school, too.
00:19:40I'm leaving now.
00:19:42Okay, well, I'll be here when you get back.
00:19:45I feel like I have a choice anyway.
00:19:47No, you won't be here.
00:19:49You won't be here.
00:19:50Because ghosts aren't real and obviously I'm hallucinating.
00:19:53So, you won't be here when I get back.
00:19:55And I will find a good psychiatrist in the area.
00:19:58But other than that, it was nice meeting you, Bea.
00:20:00It would really just be easier if you got past the denial stage fast.
00:20:06Seriously, the sooner you can move past it...
00:20:08Nope.
00:20:09Nope, nope, nope.
00:20:13Oh, God.
00:20:18West Egg, East Egg, Gatsby, Daisy.
00:20:24Separated by just a tiny stretch of water.
00:20:29So close, yet each belonging to a different world entirely.
00:20:36Like, do they eat eggs together or something?
00:20:44What?
00:20:47All right, the bells of freedom have rung.
00:20:52Oh, oh, before I forget, for those of you who are interested,
00:20:57the fall talent show enrollment is now open.
00:21:00So, start practicing.
00:21:02You can sing, you can dance.
00:21:04You cannot bring a live snake on stage.
00:21:08The school cannot afford any more lawsuits.
00:21:11Neither can I.
00:21:15Now I can breathe.
00:21:17Now I can breathe.
00:21:19Now I can breathe.
00:21:21Now I can breathe.
00:21:23Now I can breathe.
00:21:24Just want to play my guitar.
00:21:27For the people in the back now.
00:21:29No me gusta.
00:21:33I'm a yes or no me gusta.
00:21:36No.
00:21:38No, I don't like it.
00:21:41Just want to play my guitar.
00:22:12Ah.
00:22:35Ah.
00:22:39Okay.
00:22:44Boo.
00:22:45Ah.
00:22:46Hey.
00:22:47Oh, my God.
00:22:48You're still here?
00:22:49Yes, I'm still here.
00:22:51Come on, can't you be happy to see me?
00:22:53I'm happy to see you.
00:22:55Although it's true, I have been unusually starved for companionship lately.
00:22:58I thought I was hallucinating, and I was so relieved that you were not real.
00:23:02Well, that's just rude.
00:23:03What were you even doing in there?
00:23:04I was trying to see if I could find any of my old things.
00:23:07You kept my record collection, and I want you to know I appreciate that.
00:23:10Why is this happening to me?
00:23:12You are making such a big hoopla, and you're not even the one who's dead.
00:23:15Okay, fine.
00:23:16You're real.
00:23:17I get it.
00:23:19You can't leave the house, correct?
00:23:21Believe me, I tried.
00:23:22Okay.
00:23:23If we're both going to live in this bedroom.
00:23:24Is live the right word here?
00:23:25We share this bedroom, then the least we can do is just stay out of each other's way.
00:23:29What does that mean?
00:23:30It means we go on about our business and act like the other one doesn't exist,
00:23:33just like before I found this stupid ring.
00:23:36Or, suppose we bond and solve crimes together.
00:23:44I'm taking this off now.
00:23:45Okay, okay.
00:23:46Wait, wait, wait.
00:23:47Can't we just talk and be friends?
00:23:51I mean, I haven't had someone to talk to in a while.
00:23:55Isn't everything in the market for dead friends?
00:23:58Okay, fine.
00:24:00Totally Jake.
00:24:01I don't care.
00:24:02Never did.
00:24:03Still don't.
00:24:05Great, great.
00:24:06Okay, well, it was nice knowing you, B.
00:24:09Goodbye.
00:24:15Okay.
00:24:16Okay, okay.
00:24:20Okay.
00:24:28What are you doing?
00:24:29Who is this pretty lady?
00:24:32It's Taylor Swift.
00:24:33Taylor Swift?
00:24:35Is she a family friend?
00:24:36What?
00:24:37No, she's a pop star.
00:24:39Pop star?
00:24:40A famous musician.
00:24:42She's a musician?
00:24:44Yep.
00:24:45All these posters are musicians.
00:24:51I wonder what they sound like.
00:24:55So, uh...
00:24:58So you like music?
00:25:00Are you kidding me?
00:25:01Music is my life, so to speak.
00:25:03I mean, both of my parents were musicians,
00:25:05and I basically grew up in a conservatory.
00:25:09I saw your guitar back there.
00:25:11Do you play?
00:25:13Uh...
00:25:15Not anymore.
00:25:18How come?
00:25:21I just don't.
00:25:23But look, can you please stop moving things around
00:25:26and making things float?
00:25:27It's really creepy, and I have homework due.
00:25:35So, how are the new friends?
00:25:38Uh, what?
00:25:40I heard you talking in your bedroom last night.
00:25:42I assume you were online with your new friends from school?
00:25:46Uh, yeah, that's what it was.
00:25:49New friends.
00:25:51Totally live.
00:25:53Do you have the salt?
00:25:55I don't know. I don't see it.
00:25:56Um...
00:25:58High blood pressure.
00:26:01Salt is just so bad for you.
00:26:05Since when are you so worried about my blood pressure?
00:26:13Cole.
00:26:15I'm not gonna die.
00:26:18You can relax.
00:26:20I know what happened with your dad made us...
00:26:22No, no, no.
00:26:23That's not what this was.
00:26:24It's okay. I'm fine. We're fine.
00:26:26You know what? Have the salt.
00:26:27Have as much salt as you want. It's okay.
00:26:30I know it's hard, Cole.
00:26:34But...
00:26:36We can talk about it.
00:26:41We should talk about it.
00:26:44I think.
00:26:48Don't you?
00:26:50Don't you?
00:26:57I...
00:27:20I know what you're going to say,
00:27:22but I was just trying to help your mom find the salt.
00:27:24I'll keep the ring on, okay?
00:27:25What?
00:27:26All right, but you need to stop haunting my mom.
00:27:27And I mean it, okay?
00:27:29She has enough going on already,
00:27:31and the last thing she needs to deal with
00:27:32is a century-old ghost haunting her house.
00:27:34So when I'm around,
00:27:36we could hang out and chill or whatever.
00:27:38But if I'm not and she is,
00:27:41you need to stay quiet.
00:27:43Deal?
00:27:44No idea what hang out or chill means,
00:27:46but sounds good.
00:27:47Okay.
00:27:48Great.
00:27:50Wait.
00:27:54What do you mean, century-old ghost?
00:28:06Um, you did say that when you died
00:28:09to when you returned was like a blink of an eye,
00:28:11so technically you're still 17.
00:28:14I mean, at most, like, 17.
00:28:16Almost, like, 17 and a half.
00:28:19Sorry.
00:28:21How much time did you think it passed?
00:28:25I don't know.
00:28:2720, 30 years?
00:28:29I assumed some time,
00:28:30because you dress funny
00:28:32and my family isn't around anymore,
00:28:34but not a century.
00:28:36I mean, still.
00:28:37What did I miss?
00:28:39What did you miss in the past 100 years?
00:28:42Yes, you have to tell me everything.
00:28:44I mean, it's not like I can exactly go out
00:28:46and see things myself.
00:28:47I'm trapped here, remember?
00:28:58Okay.
00:28:59Go.
00:29:00Okay.
00:29:05Come on.
00:29:08Come on.
00:29:09You can do it.
00:29:15I'm out.
00:29:17I'm out of the house.
00:29:20Wait, how?
00:29:22I don't know.
00:29:25It must be the rain.
00:29:26I'm not trapped by the house.
00:29:27I'm trapped by that thing on your finger.
00:29:30Wherever the rain goes, I can go.
00:29:32Oh, my God.
00:29:34Fresh air.
00:29:37I mean, I assume it's fresh.
00:29:38I can't really breathe it in, but still.
00:29:40Oh, this is exciting.
00:29:42Oh, I can go everywhere.
00:29:44I can see everything.
00:29:49You have to take me.
00:29:50Where?
00:29:52Everywhere.
00:29:54Everywhere's like a lot of places.
00:29:55No, no, no.
00:29:56I don't want to hear it, mister.
00:29:57Look, I know you don't like me very much
00:29:59because I'm a ghost, which, okay, fair enough.
00:30:01But I don't care.
00:30:02You're just going to have to suck it up
00:30:03and take me places.
00:30:04Because I've been trapped inside this whole time.
00:30:06I need you to.
00:30:07Okay, okay, okay.
00:30:10I'll take you wherever you want to go.
00:30:11Just chill.
00:30:15I still don't know what that word means.
00:30:19But thanks.
00:30:21So?
00:30:23Where do you want to go first?
00:30:30Telephone.
00:30:31And it has every song ever recorded.
00:30:33Mm-hmm.
00:30:34Tell it to Sweeney.
00:30:35I don't know who that is.
00:30:37This is Bad Bunny.
00:30:38Oh, this is Frank Ocean, Channel Orange.
00:30:40This is an amazing album.
00:30:42R&B and bebop came out of nowhere.
00:30:44And that was like Ray Charles and Coltrane.
00:30:47And then Chuck Berry was basically
00:30:49inventing rock and roll, right?
00:30:50And in the 60s, the British came.
00:30:52Oh, and then these are some of the British classics.
00:30:54This is The Beatles,
00:30:55and then this is the amazing David Bowie.
00:30:57David Bowie?
00:30:58Yes, yes.
00:30:59David Bowie is so cool.
00:31:02Cool?
00:31:03Um, like the bee's knees.
00:31:06Oh, yeah, cool.
00:31:07Yeah, cool.
00:31:08Goes off the tongue.
00:31:09Cool, cool.
00:31:13Hey.
00:31:15What you looking at?
00:31:22Didn't they have planes back in your time?
00:31:24Not like this.
00:31:26They're everywhere now.
00:31:28Growing up, I loved them.
00:31:30They were this shiny, new, magical thing
00:31:33everyone was talking about.
00:31:35You know, I used to dream that I was going to be a pilot.
00:31:38And now I'm a pilot.
00:31:40I used to dream that I was going to become a pilot one day.
00:31:45I suppose not seriously or anything, but...
00:31:49Wait, why not?
00:31:50No, I'm serious.
00:31:51You totally could have.
00:31:53I'm a girl.
00:31:54How many girl pilots are there?
00:31:56I mean, Amelia Earhart was the cat's pajamas,
00:31:58but other than her...
00:31:59Exactly.
00:32:00You totally could have been like Amelia Earhart.
00:32:02I mean, granted, you wouldn't want to end up like her.
00:32:04What happened to Amelia Earhart?
00:32:07She died.
00:32:10But old and happy and surrounded by the people she loved.
00:32:23I just wish I could at least see you when I'm close one day.
00:32:36I love you.
00:32:52I got to go.
00:32:53Go, go.
00:32:54I was, um...
00:32:55Go to bed.
00:32:56I was trying to say that.
00:32:58I got to go to bed.
00:33:00I have school in the morning, so...
00:33:02What if he took me with you?
00:33:05What, to like...
00:33:07To school?
00:33:09No.
00:33:10No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
00:33:11Come on, why not?
00:33:12I went to Spectral Valley High, too.
00:33:14I want to see what the school looks like in the future.
00:33:16Look, it's one thing to bring a ghost around town,
00:33:19but high school is haunting enough without an actual haunting going on.
00:33:23So, no.
00:33:25Please.
00:33:28Please.
00:33:29Please, please, please, please, please.
00:33:31Look, there's literally nothing you can say that will change my mind on this.
00:33:36It's incredible.
00:33:38I mean, it looks exactly the same as when I went here.
00:33:41Except for the people.
00:33:42The people look very different.
00:33:44You know, I saw a girl with green hair before.
00:33:46Do you suppose she's okay?
00:33:47Wait, are they supposed to be ghosts?
00:33:53Cole!
00:33:54Hi.
00:33:55Oh, my God.
00:33:57You like it?
00:33:58Lydia?
00:33:59Who else?
00:34:01What the hell are you supposed to be?
00:34:02A materialized panic attack?
00:34:05I'm a Wendigo.
00:34:06Well, whatever it is, it's horrifying.
00:34:10Why aren't you wearing a costume?
00:34:12Oh, I am.
00:34:13I'm a 17-year-old boy who doesn't like to wear costumes.
00:34:16You're nailing it.
00:34:17Yeah.
00:34:18Are you doing anything for the talent show?
00:34:20I was going to put my name down.
00:34:21I came up with this new apparatus that can detect vampiric activity after dark.
00:34:27I wanted to show people, but...
00:34:29I don't think my peers are ready for that yet.
00:34:32You know, I don't know how to feel about these kids dressed as ghosts,
00:34:35but I think I'm offended.
00:34:38Who's this cancelled stamp?
00:34:40Is she your girlfriend?
00:34:42Cole?
00:34:43Sorry, what?
00:34:44No, I was just saying that vampires at the talent show might be a bit much.
00:34:49Wait.
00:34:50Is she your girlfriend?
00:34:52Maybe.
00:34:53Whoa, I'm getting the weirdest vibe from you right now.
00:34:57Coming from right around here.
00:35:00Okay, that's uncomfortable.
00:35:02Ah, it's probably nothing.
00:35:04Absolutely nothing.
00:35:06Ooh, what is that? Can I see it?
00:35:08Oh, it's just a ring.
00:35:09Just a regular, degular ring.
00:35:10I found it at my house.
00:35:11Thought it'd make me look cool.
00:35:12It didn't, so...
00:35:14Weird.
00:35:15Yeah, no, no.
00:35:16No, nothing weird going on here.
00:35:18I'm just a very normal guy that normal things happen to.
00:35:23Anyways, is there anything else you want to talk about with me?
00:35:25Because if not, I'm just going to get going because I have a thing to do.
00:35:28Nope, cool.
00:35:29Alright, I will see you later.
00:35:33Wait, did you take my pinky with you?
00:35:35Hey, when I'm with living people, you really got to chill out.
00:35:41Hey.
00:35:53Hey.
00:36:14Hey.
00:36:17Hi.
00:36:23Hey.
00:36:54Hey.
00:37:05I'll see you then.
00:37:06See you.
00:37:10Okay.
00:37:12Goodnight.
00:37:23Goodnight.
00:37:53Goodnight.
00:38:18I knew I'd seen you before somewhere.
00:38:24Thank you, ghostly Gabe.
00:38:28Magical Artifacts of History, Episode 9.
00:38:31The Lover's Rings.
00:38:33The story of the Lover's Rings starts in ancient Egypt...
00:38:41Score.
00:38:43But the rings aren't just magical.
00:38:45They are cursed.
00:38:47Wait, what?
00:38:48What?
00:38:49What?
00:38:50What?
00:38:52Wait, what?
00:39:18Cursed.
00:39:21Okay, Louis Armstrong and Billie Eilish.
00:39:25That's a good one.
00:39:27How about Cole Porter?
00:39:30Okay.
00:39:31And...
00:39:33Post Malone.
00:39:36Okay, okay, okay.
00:39:37I'd go.
00:39:38I'd go.
00:39:39I'd go to that concert for sure.
00:39:40Okay.
00:39:43Can I ask you something?
00:39:47Why aren't you playing the guitar at your school talent show?
00:39:51You play really well.
00:39:57I just...
00:40:04I haven't played or written anything ever since...
00:40:11A long time.
00:40:15Did your dad teach you how to play?
00:40:19Yeah.
00:40:22You know how most people stick to one genre, right?
00:40:25My dad would go from Pavarotti to Santana to Bossa Nova to Public Enemy in one night.
00:40:36He just...
00:40:38He loved all of it.
00:40:41Music was his life.
00:40:46What happened to him?
00:40:48What happened to him?
00:40:53Heart attack.
00:40:55Just out of the blue.
00:41:00One day he was here and then he wasn't.
00:41:06I'm sorry.
00:41:08It's okay.
00:41:12I'm fine.
00:41:18It's okay.
00:41:24Sometimes I think about why I'm still here.
00:41:26Whether the people who died are gone.
00:41:31And then I think maybe I'll never know.
00:41:35And...
00:41:38I'll just be here watching as living people get old and die again and again forever and ever.
00:41:45I do miss home though.
00:41:48My friends, my family.
00:41:51My whole life.
00:41:56Sometimes I wish I could just go back.
00:41:59Just for a day only.
00:42:03Feel like I belong for a little while.
00:42:06Halloween.
00:42:08I can see that.
00:42:13Did you know it also happens to be the anniversary of my death?
00:42:17Really?
00:42:18Yes, sir.
00:42:19That's the day Mr. Doozy made me go...
00:42:26I'm sorry.
00:42:28I'm sorry.
00:42:30I'm sorry.
00:42:32I'm sorry.
00:42:34I'm sorry.
00:42:37We should celebrate.
00:42:41When was the last time that you went to New York City?
00:42:46Okay.
00:42:48You ready?
00:42:49Yes.
00:43:04How?
00:43:07Well, you said you wanted to feel like you were back at home for a day.
00:43:11How?
00:43:12When did you do this?
00:43:13It's called the Gatsby Party.
00:43:14It's a thing.
00:43:17Do you like it?
00:43:19I love it.
00:43:20I love it.
00:43:21I love it.
00:43:22I love it.
00:43:23I love it.
00:43:24I love it.
00:43:25I love it.
00:43:26I love it.
00:43:27I love it.
00:43:28I love it.
00:43:29I love it.
00:43:30I love it.
00:43:31I love it.
00:43:32I love it.
00:43:37Sorry.
00:43:39Are you okay?
00:43:40Yeah, I...
00:43:48You're holding me.
00:43:52I am?
00:43:56Hey, go Pat.
00:44:00How is this happening?
00:44:01I don't know.
00:44:02I don't know.
00:44:03Look, I'm alive.
00:44:07Tonight, I'm alive.
00:44:17How am I alive?
00:44:19And material and visible?
00:44:22I don't know.
00:44:25How do you feel?
00:44:26Wet.
00:44:27Wet.
00:44:29First time this dress is seeing any action in a hundred years and it's already ruined.
00:44:34Just my luck.
00:44:35Um, I think I saw a costume wrestler spot downstairs.
00:44:41Follow me.
00:44:57Woo!
00:45:28Wow.
00:45:54Wow.
00:45:57It's not really me, is it?
00:45:58You look, um...
00:46:01Cool?
00:46:03The bee's knees.
00:46:11How about this band?
00:46:12Aren't they swell?
00:46:13Now please, welcome to the stage, Frank and Stephanie!
00:46:28Wow!
00:46:51Wow!
00:46:54Alright!
00:46:57Clevers and dapper dance!
00:46:59That was Frank and Stephanie starting off our Charleston dance competition.
00:47:04It may look like a tough act to follow, but let's give it a try.
00:47:07Who's up next?
00:47:08Right here.
00:47:10No.
00:47:11Lady with the very realistic hairdo, come on up with your partner.
00:47:15No, no, no, no, no.
00:47:16Bee, do you not remember that we do not know how to dance Charleston?
00:47:18So?
00:47:19We don't have to win the thing.
00:47:21No, no, no, no.
00:47:22Bee, Bee, Bee.
00:47:23I can't.
00:47:24I'm not in front of all these people.
00:47:25Are you really going to deny a lady her first dance in almost a century?
00:47:29This is such a cheap shot.
00:47:31Okay.
00:47:32Hello there.
00:47:33What's your name, Bearcat?
00:47:34Bee.
00:47:36And this handsome sailor right here is Cole.
00:47:38Alright, Bee and Cole, everybody!
00:47:47So what do we do now?
00:47:49Just dance.
00:47:50But we don't know what we're doing.
00:47:56Come on.
00:47:57You have to do it too.
00:47:59Otherwise it's just silly.
00:48:02This is so not Charleston.
00:48:04Just get into it.
00:48:09This is literally the most embarrassing moment in my life.
00:48:11Like, nothing even comes close to this.
00:48:13Just let yourself go.
00:48:14Who cares what they think?
00:48:25Ah!
00:48:30Ah!
00:48:55Ah!
00:48:56Ah!
00:49:25When I was growing up, my parents used to play ballrooms like that.
00:49:47With their band.
00:49:48It was their job.
00:49:51And I had to come along every time because they didn't have anyone to leave me with.
00:49:56Those are just some of the happiest memories I have.
00:50:00Of...
00:50:02Back then, just...
00:50:05Of sitting there in the corner by the stage, watching my parents play.
00:50:10And people dance and chat and have fun.
00:50:14The lights, the sounds.
00:50:17Everything just felt so alive.
00:50:21And that's how I felt tonight too.
00:50:23I felt alive.
00:50:26And then, of course, you decided to take me to a cemetery.
00:50:29Which, you know, is a bit lacking in tact considering I'm a ghost.
00:50:33So, I'm just wondering why you...
00:50:37What is that noise?
00:50:39Just wait for it. Keep looking straight ahead.
00:50:42Hang on.
00:50:43Hang on.
00:50:56You said you wanted to win up close, so...
00:51:02So, like...
00:51:04Why airplanes?
00:51:07I look at them and I see...
00:51:09Freedom.
00:51:12To go where I want, when I want.
00:51:15Wherever I want.
00:51:16You know, live adventures.
00:51:18See the world, every little corner of it.
00:51:21Whenever I feel like it.
00:51:25Well...
00:51:30Where do you want to go now?
00:51:32There's nowhere else I want to be right now.
00:51:50I'm... I'm sorry, Bea.
00:51:55I'm sorry.
00:52:01Cole, it's Lydia.
00:52:02Can you drop by the bookstore after school?
00:52:04It's really important.
00:52:17Hey, Cole.
00:52:18Come, I gotta show you something.
00:52:26This ring.
00:52:29This is the ring you were wearing at school the other day, is it not?
00:52:32I guess.
00:52:33It is.
00:52:34I knew it. I knew there was death around you from the first time I saw you.
00:52:37I am awesome at this.
00:52:40So, what does this mean?
00:52:41Based on my research, I think that someone probably separated their rings a long time ago
00:52:46and got themselves cursed because of it.
00:52:49Cole, I know this is a lot,
00:52:51but the evidence is overwhelming.
00:52:55I think...
00:52:57I think you're being haunted by a ghost.
00:53:01Oh, my God.
00:53:02What? That's...
00:53:03That's pretty crazy.
00:53:05Wow.
00:53:08And it looks like the only way to break the curse is to return it to its pair.
00:53:13According to the legend,
00:53:15the ghost will actually become fully material and visible on the one night of the year that it died,
00:53:20so it has the chance to right the wrong it committed.
00:53:25That's why she came alive at the Gatsby party.
00:53:28What's that?
00:53:29I was just saying how this is all new and shocking information, Leah.
00:53:33You've got a ghost in your hands, and you need to do something about it.
00:53:36Where is it now? The other ring?
00:53:38It was hard, but finally, I tracked it to...
00:53:46Ancient History Museum in New York.
00:53:49So it's in New York.
00:53:51But not for long.
00:53:52There's an auction tomorrow at the museum,
00:53:55and the other ring is one of the items they're selling.
00:53:58They have an anonymity clause, so you won't be able to find out who it's sold to,
00:54:03but if you get there before it sells,
00:54:05all you have to do is return the ring,
00:54:08and poof, no more ghost.
00:54:11Wait, what do you mean no more ghost?
00:54:14My guess is reuniting the rings sets the spirit free so it can move on.
00:54:23Move on sounds a lot like dying.
00:54:26Ghosts are already dead, Cole. They can't die again.
00:54:29But if they can't move on,
00:54:32they just stay trapped in this plane of existence for eternity,
00:54:39watching the world go by, alone, forever.
00:54:45It's not a good deal.
00:54:48I don't know who's haunting you, but trust me,
00:54:51breaking the curse would be doing them a huge favor.
00:54:56Uh, hey, B, um, there's something that you should know.
00:55:00Um, okay.
00:55:02Hey, B, um, there's something I need to tell you.
00:55:06Guess who's cursed?
00:55:09B, I need to talk to you about something.
00:55:16I'm sorry.
00:55:18I'm sorry.
00:55:20I'm sorry.
00:55:22I'm sorry.
00:55:24I'm sorry.
00:55:35Ta-da!
00:55:38What's going on?
00:55:41Well, your mom said she was working late,
00:55:44and you were gone most of the afternoon, so I had the house to myself.
00:55:50I want you to play me one of your songs.
00:55:53The stage and the lights and the candles are just so you'll feel guilty saying no
00:55:57because I went through all the trouble.
00:56:04Um, B, before I play, we should really talk about something first.
00:56:08Boo! We don't want speeches. We want music.
00:56:13Okay. Okay, fine. Um, here.
00:56:17I wrote this song a while ago. It's about an old shoe.
00:56:20I love songs about shoes. It's my favorite genre.
00:56:51The right side of the road
00:56:53Will someday take you home
00:56:55Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
00:56:57How'd you get so far?
00:57:00A single soul that's lost
00:57:02Did your laces come uncrossed?
00:57:04Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
00:57:07Stop
00:57:09Just keep walking on
00:57:12Till you get back home
00:57:16Till you get back home
00:57:19Whoa
00:57:21I'll keep walking
00:57:24I'll keep walking
00:57:26I'll keep walking
00:57:29Whoa
00:57:30Till you get back home
00:57:40That's it.
00:57:42Um, it's just a silly song.
00:57:46It's not silly. It's beautiful.
00:57:55Thanks.
00:57:57You should play it at the school talent show.
00:58:00This song?
00:58:01This one. Another one.
00:58:03Just play something.
00:58:06I don't know. I don't really play for other people.
00:58:10What's the point of playing if you're just going to play for yourself?
00:58:13I mean, my mom always said,
00:58:15We're all just passing by in this world.
00:58:17Let's make some noise along the way.
00:58:20Come on. Make some noise.
00:58:22Promise me you'll do it.
00:58:24Fine. Fine. I promise.
00:58:26But you have to promise that you'll be there.
00:58:28If you get up there on that stage,
00:58:30I will be right there in the front row.
00:58:35You're incredible.
00:58:37What did you want to tell me before?
00:58:39What?
00:58:40Before, when you came in, you said you wanted to talk to me about something.
00:58:45Oh, um.
00:58:50I forgot.
00:59:01I am going to hand back your papers.
00:59:08And I think Mr. Fitzgerald and I are in agreement
00:59:15that some of you could have done a whole lot better.
00:59:29Oh, I have some bad news for the aspiring artists.
00:59:33The fall talent show has been postponed
00:59:35because a pipe burst in the auditorium,
00:59:37and they have to fix it.
00:59:39So stay tuned.
01:00:00Excuse me, Mr. Porter.
01:00:02Oh, Mr. Sanchez.
01:00:07Um, what about my essay did you not like in particular?
01:00:12Because I just don't understand why I got a D.
01:00:15Oh, I think all of your answers were perfectly valid
01:00:19and interesting interpretations of the great Gatsby's themes and motifs.
01:00:24Then why did you...
01:00:26I also think they were very valid and interesting
01:00:29the first hundred times I read them.
01:00:33This is not what you think about the book.
01:00:36This is what you think I think you should think about the book.
01:00:43Try again if you want to.
01:00:48But if you do this time,
01:00:51please tell me what you think
01:00:56using your own voice.
01:01:00You're not a boring person, Cole.
01:01:03I don't know why you're trying so hard to be one.
01:01:25I'm sorry.
01:01:27I'm sorry.
01:01:54Sorry.
01:01:55What's wrong?
01:01:57You seem distracted.
01:01:58It's nothing. I just, um...
01:02:01I got a bad grade on an assignment today, so...
01:02:07Uh, something happened on your magic shiny brick telephone thing.
01:02:12Uh, how was the auction?
01:02:14No more ghosts.
01:02:16Cole, what is this?
01:02:18It's just, uh, Lydia, you know.
01:02:22No more ghosts. What's going on?
01:02:27Um...
01:02:30Lydia and I, we, uh...
01:02:35We figured out why you're here.
01:02:41Basically, the string's part of a pair.
01:02:45And when you separated them,
01:02:47you got yourself cursed,
01:02:49and that's why your soul has been stuck here.
01:02:54What does she mean, no more ghosts?
01:02:56She thinks that if we reunite the rings,
01:02:59that the curse would be broken.
01:03:01You mean I wouldn't be a ghost anymore?
01:03:03Well, I-I don't know.
01:03:07I guess you would move on.
01:03:12Where is it? Where is the other ring?
01:03:15It would be...
01:03:17Most likely, you would be dead.
01:03:20Like, dead, dead.
01:03:26I think that's what happens after the curse is broken,
01:03:28so maybe it's just better to just, you know, like, leave it alone.
01:03:33Hmm.
01:03:35But...
01:03:38then I'll be stuck like this forever.
01:03:41They talked about this, Cole.
01:03:43They're all gonna move out one day.
01:03:45And I'll...
01:03:48No. We have to do this.
01:03:50We have to find the other ring.
01:03:52Even if we don't know what'll happen once the curse is broken,
01:03:54it has to be better than this.
01:03:56Right?
01:04:00What?
01:04:02Where is it?
01:04:04The other ring was sold in an auction.
01:04:06Back in New York.
01:04:08Well, how do you know this?
01:04:10I mean, when did you find this out?
01:04:12Why didn't Lydia ask if you went to the auction?
01:04:21You knew about it.
01:04:24You knew about the auction before it happened.
01:04:27How... Why didn't you tell me?
01:04:30I didn't... I didn't want you to die.
01:04:33I mean, just be gone forever.
01:04:36I... I didn't want things to change.
01:04:39And I thought that you didn't want it either.
01:04:41How could you not tell me?
01:04:44So, I'm stuck here.
01:04:47Like this. Forever.
01:04:49And it's your fault.
01:04:51Can we just... Can we just go home and talk about this?
01:04:53You had no right, Cole.
01:04:54I didn't want to lose you.
01:04:56I'm not yours to lose.
01:04:58I had a life of my own.
01:05:00What do you think, that I...
01:05:02I'm haunting you to make you feel better about yourself?
01:05:04Or make you feel less alone?
01:05:07I'm haunting you because I was cursed, Cole.
01:05:10And you could have fixed that, but you didn't.
01:05:13I... I didn't... I...
01:05:21Go.
01:05:23Now.
01:05:25Take off the ring.
01:05:41Don't read the last two pages aloud.
01:05:43It can sometimes cause the dead to rise and turn on you.
01:05:49Hello?
01:05:50Hi, Mrs. Sanchez. It's Lydia.
01:05:53Is Cole around?
01:05:55I tried his phone, but he's not answering.
01:05:57He said he was going to school.
01:06:00Now?
01:06:01He said he was practicing music.
01:06:03He said he was going to school.
01:06:05He said he was going to school.
01:06:07Now?
01:06:08He said he was practicing music with some friends.
01:06:11Friends? Okay.
01:06:14Thanks, Mrs. Sanchez.
01:06:20Hey, your friend Lydia just called, like a second ago.
01:06:24Cole?
01:06:26You okay?
01:06:28Yeah.
01:06:37Cole?
01:07:07Cole?
01:07:24Hi.
01:07:26Hi.
01:07:28I'm Lydia.
01:07:30Are you the ghost that's been haunting Cole?
01:07:38Yep.
01:07:40You okay in here?
01:07:42Uh, yeah, just redoing an assignment for English.
01:07:53The Great Gatsby.
01:07:56I wonder how long it'll take schools to discover that there are other books written in the English language.
01:08:01It's a great story.
01:08:03I know, it is.
01:08:08I just...
01:08:10I don't really know what to say about it that hasn't been said, like, a million times.
01:08:15Well, what do you think it's about?
01:08:19Everybody knows what it's about.
01:08:20It's, like, about a guy who falls in love with a girl in the past.
01:08:26And, uh, he misses her really badly.
01:08:31But...
01:08:38She's gone.
01:08:43And he can't get her back.
01:08:49So now he feels, um...
01:08:54Incomplete.
01:09:07I really miss him.
01:09:10I miss him too, Cole.
01:09:12I miss him all the time.
01:09:22But that's a good thing, right?
01:09:27I mean, if he had been a bad guy, we wouldn't miss him.
01:09:33But he wasn't.
01:09:35He was amazing.
01:09:40He gave us the privilege of missing him.
01:09:43But it doesn't feel like a privilege.
01:09:48Like, I just... I feel sad.
01:09:50Like, I feel like...
01:09:53Like, what's the point?
01:09:55You know, like...
01:09:57If things can just happen just like that, if...
01:10:02If he can die just like that, like...
01:10:07Why does it matter?
01:10:11Life.
01:10:13Like, anything.
01:10:21Well...
01:10:23I suppose you're right.
01:10:26If I hadn't met him, or...
01:10:29If I didn't love him, I wouldn't be this sad now, that's for sure.
01:10:40But then I think...
01:10:42If I hadn't met him, I also...
01:10:46Wouldn't have all the memories we shared.
01:10:50I would rather miss him like this every day...
01:10:56Than throw away all that we've been through.
01:10:59Together.
01:11:04Those moments are who I am.
01:11:08They're who you are too, and who he was.
01:11:14Who he still is.
01:11:18The real sad people in life...
01:11:22They hop and look back over their lives, and they realize...
01:11:27They miss nothing.
01:11:32Because they never did anything or met anyone worth missing.
01:11:41Missing someone just means you loved them.
01:11:53That sucks.
01:11:56I know, baby.
01:12:07Hey, can you float?
01:12:10No.
01:12:12I was really disappointed when I found that out.
01:12:15Yeah.
01:12:18He likes you a lot, you know? Cole.
01:12:21How do you know that?
01:12:23Because I could tell he freaked out a little bit when I was talking about lifting the curse.
01:12:27Like, I was talking about taking away his best friend.
01:12:34He didn't tell me about the auction.
01:12:39He didn't tell you?
01:12:41No.
01:12:43He didn't tell me about the auction.
01:12:54I'm really sorry the other ring is gone.
01:12:57And Cole was so, so wrong to not tell you about the auction.
01:13:03But...
01:13:06I don't think he's a bad guy.
01:13:09I just think maybe he's...
01:13:13Really, really lonely.
01:13:39Ancient History Museum of New York. How can I help you?
01:13:42Hi. I am a rich person.
01:13:45And I just bought a ring there recently.
01:13:49The part number, item number is...
01:13:52X3731.
01:13:54For a complaint or questions about an auction item, please call...
01:13:57Oh, no, no, no. I don't have any complaints.
01:14:00I just want to know...
01:14:03How much is it?
01:14:05I just want to know...
01:14:10What's my name?
01:14:12Excuse me?
01:14:14Because when I bought the ring,
01:14:17I just want to make sure that I put my name down correctly.
01:14:21So if you just wouldn't mind saying it back to me...
01:14:24Your name will be confirmed tomorrow with External Affairs
01:14:27when all auction items will be processed and shipped to their respective owners.
01:14:31Wait, wait, wait. Will be shipped?
01:14:34Will be shipped tomorrow morning.
01:14:36It's still there.
01:14:37What's that, sir?
01:14:58Okay, I deserved that.
01:15:00Yes, you did.
01:15:01Okay, listen. I'm sorry. I just...
01:15:03You said that already. What else you got?
01:15:05I called the museum.
01:15:06They sold the ring at auction.
01:15:08But they have to process it first.
01:15:10Scan it, kiss it goodbye, whatever.
01:15:12But the point is...
01:15:13Yeah, get to it.
01:15:14Okay, they still have the ring at the museum.
01:15:16Right now, at least. Maybe until the morning.
01:15:18But we can still reunite the rings.
01:15:21This still doesn't make what you did before okay.
01:15:24I know. And I'm very sorry.
01:15:28Okay, where is the museum?
01:15:29So, it's in New York.
01:15:31Hey, you two.
01:15:33You two.
01:15:34You guys need a ride?
01:15:36Yeah, that'd be...
01:15:39Wait, you guys know each other now?
01:15:41Yes, we know each other.
01:15:43I see why you like her. Come on.
01:15:45Let's go.
01:16:01You two should go. I'll keep watch.
01:16:02Okay, I'm going.
01:16:03Go, go, go.
01:16:04I'm going, I'm going.
01:16:06Hey, Cole.
01:16:08Tell Bea to try not to steal any cursed artifacts this time.
01:16:15I'll try not to.
01:16:34Okay.
01:16:39Let's go.
01:16:41Where do you suppose it is?
01:16:42The guy on the phone said he was being processed by...
01:16:45External Affairs.
01:16:47Okay.
01:16:56Of course.
01:16:58It's all clear.
01:16:59Breaking down a ring with a ghost is ridiculously easy.
01:17:04Okay, we're looking for item number X.
01:17:08Okay, we're looking for item number X3731.
01:17:12I'll take that side.
01:17:13Okay.
01:17:23Seven, three, seven.
01:17:37Bea?
01:17:43I think I found it.
01:18:08That's it.
01:18:17Are you ready?
01:18:37Okay.
01:18:43Okay.
01:18:46I'm going to take the ring off.
01:18:52Wait.
01:18:57Bea, I'm really going to miss you.
01:19:07Okay.
01:19:27Okay.
01:19:30I'm ready now.
01:19:38Bye, Cole.
01:19:43Bye.
01:20:07Okay.
01:20:08Okay.
01:20:10Okay.
01:20:36She's gone.
01:20:39Okay.
01:21:09Okay.
