Daphne & Velma Page #6

---

Hurry.

- Let me analyze this system.

- Help me.

It's okay. We're gonna get you

out of here.

I can't override the system,

Daphne.

- We have to hurry.

- Okay, I'm trying.

- Read me the serial number.

- Uh, "G06592."

'Okay, it's not doing anything.'

- Mikayla!

- No!

Velma, the tube just ate her.

The tube ate Mikayla.

Okay, I'm pretty sure it's just

a secret elevator or something.

- Okay, right, right.

- Yeah.

'Why are there

all these computers'

in a hidden room

behind the school?

Those are social media feeds.

'So this computer

has been updating'

Spencer's social media

with all those fake posts.

And all the other

zombified kids.

"Matchmouth."

'Daphne.'

Daphne, there is only one exit.

We're trapped.

This way.

- Daphne.

- 'Yeah.'

What if there really is a ghost?

I know I'm usually the one

who believes in ghosts

but look around.

Computers, Wi-Fi.

And why would a ghost

need a chair?

Yeah, yeah, you're right.

You're right.

A ghost won't have a butt.

I'll smoosh its head with this.

Velma, oh.

Let's trip it.

- Oh, fine.

- Okay.

Not today, hooded figure!

Daphne, wait.

Daphne, it's me!

Dad? What are you doing?

I thought I was supposed

to pick you up today.

Really? You're gonna use

that one again?

You said your friend's

been taken? B-by who...

Hey, don't change the subject.

Why are you following us?

And why are you dressed

like a ghost?

I'm not dressed like a ghost,

but..

This is a bathrobe. I didn't

want you to recognize me.

This is why we thought

you were floating.

Yeah, it's for my leg.

- 'You're Velma, right?'

- How do you know my name?

Oh, I've been... looking around.

- Yeah, about that...

- I know, I know.

I know you said you could handle

yourself, but I couldn't bear

the thought of just laying

around and not knowing

if you were okay.

I'm, I'm sorry.

It's okay.

I mean, yeah, you scared us.

But if you hadn't, we never

would have found this room.

So, I guess, um

being a helicopter parent

was a good thing.

No, absolutely not.

And we're gonna talk

about that later. Alright?

Hey, what's this?

Oh, now you're giving me

the silent treatment?

Daph?

Daphne.

Velma?

- Dad.

- What happened?

'Okay, that was so weird.'

It was like

you went into a trance

or you were sleepwalking

or something.

It was like my brain was being

overloaded or something.

- Wait. It didn't affect you?

- No.

Those audio files

must use a frequency

that can only be heard by kids.

Velma,

that's super advanced tech.

Somebody built these passages

behind the lockers.

That kind of thing would never

get by Tobias Bloom.

- Bloom Innovative.

- Bloom Innovative.

And there's a property

of Bloom Innovative

right on that tube thing...

Okay, don't take

this away from us.

Sorry.

- Dad.

- Oh, we gotta call your mom.

'Bloom's been pushing

her for all her tech.'

This is all Matchmouth.

This is her stuff.

This thing doesn't work

down here.

Uh, here, I'll-I'll hack

into the school's Wi-Fi.

- Here, put in her number.

- Okay.

- Mom.

- Hey, hey, hon.

- Nedley, what are you doing?

- Mom, are you okay?

Sure, just a bit tired.

Tobias wants this

finished tonight.

Hey, no, you gotta

get out of there.

Is something wrong?

There is no time to explain,

Mrs. Blake.

- Uh, I'm Velma, by the way.

- Nice to meet you.

Mom, there's something going on.

Tobias Bloom isn't who

we thought he was.

Oh, hello, Mr. Bloom.

- No, no, no, honey, honey.

- No, mom. Get out of there.

- Honey! Honey!

- No! No!

This is my fault.

Bloom runs this school.

I can't do this.

- Yes, you can.

- No.

I thought

I could handle my own life

but everything I've ever done

has blown up in my face.

My mom is in danger,

you're in danger.

Maybe you should just go back

to taking care of me, dad.

Oh, no, no, no, kiddo, don't.

Ah, I, I don't wanna

go back to that.

Listen, I, I didn't do

those things for you

because I didn't think

you were capable or smart

or because I thought

you were afraid, I..

I did those things

because I was afraid.

'And I am not afraid

for you anymore, Daphne.'

I mean, look what you two did.

You attacked a ghost.

Daphne, before you got here,

I was just solving mysteries

behind the safety

of a computer screen.

I melted a locker.

I went undercover

in the cafeteria.

I ran through the hallways

past school hours.

I am stronger

than I ever thought I was.

And you showed me that.

We know who we have

to take down.

Okay. Let's do this.

Alright.

What are we doing?

'Maggie, have

you seen my keys?'

'What, what? Is that you, mom?'

No, Velma.

'No!'

Bloom Innovative sound buds.

- Mr. Blake, can you hear us?

- Yeah, I'm right here.

- Can you hear me?

- Loud and clear.

Dad, check the surveillance

for this place.

'Is there

only one security guard?'

Yeah, I see one guard

in the foyer.

But there are two

heat signatures

'on the 22nd floor.'

Alright. Step one.

Let's get this guy in.

'Listen, Daph, I'm so happy'

'that we're having an adventure

together, you know.'

'Most dads

and their teenage daughters'

'are arguing all the time,

you know.'

'You-you-you, just,

we're like..'

'I feel like we're buds,

you know.'

'Hey, what's that?

Is that jelly?'

'How did you get jelly on the..'

'Oh, oh, it's smoking.

It's a..'

- 'Did you just...'

- Awesome.

- 'Daphne. Daphne Blake.'

- Nailed it.

'You stop right now.'

'You're grounded.

Do you hear me?'

'Hey, that's a perfect circle.

How did you do that?'

We'll use the shame drone

to lure

the security guard

away from his post.

'W-what is that thing on

the, on the drone? Is that a rock?'

Why would you..

You didn't lure him away.

'You hit him with that rock!'

'That was assault.

That's assault!'

Well, that works.

Let's go.

'In security mode.'

- Velma, what's going on?

- The power must have gone out.

You can't do

anything without your dad.

I didn't say that.

We should be safe at

home, not on the front lines.

I did, I did not say that.

What if the mass

of the Earth is too great

that it collapses

back onto itself?

No one's gonna help you.

You've never done

anything on your own.

This must be some

kind of security system.

The room is feeding off

our insecurities.

Creating copies

that are reflecting

our deepest, darkest fears.

We'll never

have a female president.

You're gonna lose your glasses

and fall right off a cliff.

- Stay calm.

- I-I-I can't.

I mean, what if

something pops out at us

or-or a trapped door

or like wolves or something?

Wolves? Are you insane?

How will they even get in here?

Listen to me, we're okay.

All we need to do

is overload the system.

- How?

- You said it.

It's preying

on our insecurities.

So let's show

we don't have any.

I love how you always

think a hundred steps ahead.

Come on.

Your optimism

radiates like rainbows.

I love rainbows.

...better than anyone.

You make me believe

people are okay.

I do inspire.

We are the

writers of our destiny.
