Previously on Deadbeat...
Ghosts stick around
when they have unfinished business.
I never got to have sex.
I died a virgin.
So, what were you, like a dentist?
I was an avant-gardist.
- You see me? - Is that your first
or your last name?
- What? - What?
Finishing unfinished business
is my business.
My guest today is
celebrated paranormal communicator
Camomile White.
Camomile White is a fraud.
Sue?
And when I get paid,
I'm gonna come back for you.
I'm gonna rescue you from Camomile.
Ms. White, please, I believe in Kevin.
Oh my God, Sue, you're dead.
I can't move into my light
until my body is buried at sea.
It didn't work.
Maybe your unfinished business
is something else.
We'll figure it out.
I'll help you, every day.
No matter how long it takes.
- Really? - Yeah.
Well, shall we get going or... ?
Yeah, yeah.
I feel like we've been standing here
for, like, a year.
No!
Psych, I'm totally kidding!
Yo, no, no, no, no.
Put that away, put that away.
What? No, look, it's her finger.
- Roofie, it's cute. - I see what it is, man.
Dude, so what the hell is your end game?
Uh... what do you mean?
You keepin' her on as a ghost on purpose?
Yeah.
Then what?
Well, I haven't really thought
that far ahead, okay, Roofie?
But all I know is,
I really like this girl, okay?
I like her a lot and for
the first time in my life,
it feels like maybe somehow
a girl likes me back.
That's a big deal to me, okay?
Also, I asked her to live with me,
so I need you to hold on to the finger.
- Hell no. - Yes.
- Hell no. - Just touch it.
This is what I'm talking about.
You can't build a relationship on lies.
- Why not? - Because,
you're terrible at lying.
- No I'm not. - Now Sue believes
she has some other unfinished business
that you have to go on a wild goose chase
to solve.
Great job.
A little credit, please.
I have it under control.
Okay, yeah, we'll see.
We'll see. Hey, listen.
This... I don't.
Just touch it.
Phew, ready?
Sue's Potential Unfinished Business
Finish this list.
Well, I guess that wasn't it either.
- Shoot. - It's useless.
I'm never gonna figure it out.
No, no, no, we will, we will.
Let's do something to take your mind off it.
There's a Felonies and Misdemeanors
marathon on today.
Let's watch that together.
The noise complaint was called in
at 10 p.m. but the party
was clearly over at 9.
How's that possible?
It's not possible.
It's not even a crime.
Unless... Daylight savings.
Daylight savings, I knew it.
I was there with them.
That's a goddamn misdemeanor.
Ah, genius.
I heard they had to replace the two leads
'cause they wanted bigger trailers.
My ex used to love this show.
- Your ex? - Not ex, just this guy
who I saw a couple of times.
I thought it was gonna turn into
something serious but then
outta nowhere, he just ghosted me.
Ew, gross. Sue!
What? No.
He ghosted me,
like he stopped responding
to my calls and texts,
vanished into thin air.
Oh, I thought...
I thought you meant when a guy stands
over you and just completely
covers your face with his...
Nothing. Never mind.
Wait, maybe that's my unfinished business.
Ew, gross. Sue!
What? No. Glen, the ex.
We were supposed to have
a date by the river
but then he never showed.
He never even called.
It really effed me up.
That's total B.S.
We gotta go find that guy.
Yeah, we should find him.
We should absolutely and you can
finally confront him.
And figure out what I did wrong.
Yeah! No. What?
Does the color red
mean anything to you?
My husband, Thomas,
he always wore a red hat.
And you two loved melon picking.
Eh... no.
Hold on a second, Linda,
close your eyes with me.
Breathe again.
A bowling team.
I just can't believe it.
Linda.
Linda.
It's okay, Linda.
Thomas died driving home
from the bowling alley.
He was so angry.
Because you had lost...
I was cheating on him.
... monogamy.
Thomas has completely forgiven you.
He has moved on
and he is at peace now.
He is... (glass shattering)
What... my God.
- Was that him? - No, that wasn't him.
That was the ghost
of a former tenant or something.
A melon magnate
who hates plates.
Not important.
All this is not important to us.
What is important
is your husband, Thomas.
He is now completely at peace.
Thomas?
This definitely does not seem
like he is at peace.
Please, Ms. White,
do I need to stop banging his brother?
No!
This is... Cut!
This is not going to work.
What...
Everybody take five.
You okay, Ms. White?
Need a little something? Some water?
One of those legally prescribed
"calm me down" pills?
No, I don't need pills.
I need...
This is his place.
Can't wait to give this dickhead
a piece of your mind.
Oh!
Hey, talk about perfect timing, huh?
No, no, not at all.
Actually, do you mind shutting the door again?
I want to use the loud knocking
to pump myself up, you know?
