So, a photon is checking into a hotel.
Can we not do jokes right now, please?
If not, we're going to pee.
Red light!
Red light! I found help.
Ask if you need help with your life.
I need you to switch the photon response.
No thanks.
I'm traveling light.
Hey, can we have some air going back here?
It's like a furnace.
No air.
Also, no power.
Prag, we need power!
Can you not talk to me like that, please? I'm 18 now.
I'm an adult.
Oh, come on.
We're out of here.
Good job, buddy.
I'm not getting paid.
Are you getting paid?
No.
Cool.
Does anyone else feel exploited?
We're all being paid.
With memories.
Ow!
Oh, you're fine.
Oh, we're actually guys on fire.
Mine's us on fire.
Welcome.
Wonderful news from the back seat.
Windows are stuck.
I can open a door.
No, no, no.
No, go to sleep.
Whoa! Oh, gross.
It's the Hell's Kitchen sewer dragon.
Hold on to your ass.
I'm going out.
See me?
What, Callie? I'm Mom.
You call me Mom.
You call me Gary.
Whatever you want.
We're going to lose here.
You stay inside this car.
I have a ghost to bust.
Alright, that was cool.
I know, I'm sorry, is this the way she said it?
It sounded cool.
Get back in here!
I can't hear you over the nuclear accelerator!
Whoa!
Drop it!
Okay, baby, please.
I'm sweating bullets.
In pursuit?
Nah.
They got it.
Try driving a 10-ton hearse.
I have, and if you give me the keys... Not now, Trevor.
Now, Trevor!
Drop it, Trevor! Come on.
Is it okay?
Who puts bikes there?
Go busters!
Break up the new equipment!
Don't be a troll, blast the charge!
Laser gun?
What?
It has a proton back.
It's a weapon.
A weapon of science?
It's completely safe.
Not completely safe.
It's a portable proton accelerator.
How old are you? I'm 18.
I'm an adult.
I'm not talking to you.
Oh.
15? A minor.
We don't let kids become cops.
We don't let them fight fires.
And we certainly don't let them become ghostbusters.
I'm sorry.
Mr. Mary, may I approach the bench?
Do you see a rope?
I am not a judge.

Gary.
Look, I... You don't know Phoebe Spangler like I do.
I mean, she is something else to this kid.
Honestly, she's more focused, more accomplished,
more capable than just about any other adult I know.
And what exactly is your relationship to this minor?
Are you her parent? I mean.
..
Labels.
No, I'm her stepteacher.
Mr. Groveson, you are not her father.
You are her employer.
No, we don't pay her.
Sounds like we can add child labor to our list of violations.
Gary.
Yeah.
Maybe she can become a junior ghostbuster.
Hand out stickers or something.
As for the rest of you,
I am personally holding you responsible.
And I won't stop.
Until that firehouse you call home is a pile of bricks.
Ah, ceiling's leaking again.
Sounds like a fun mystery for a boy detective.
Yeah, the mystery of the black hole is super fun mystery and you're gone.
Awesome. Awesome.
What to? Snowflake.
Maybe you can spend the next few years making an actual teenager.
Now, once this is the 18th century,
then I'd already be a part of the workforce and I'd have more kids.
Mom?
So I have your grandmother.
No.
You would be dead.
Oh, please.
A ghost grandma?
Ooh, tacos!
Hey, look what I found for movie night.
Was that family friendly? I hope not.
About a family.
Family that eats people.
They're sisters.
I'm going to take this to the labor board.
On what grounds?
I'm a ghostbuster.
I saved the world.
Well, I like to think we saved the world.
Hey, would you watch my beat?
You are a possessed canine.
Ghost dog!
This is insane!
They got me the snacks again!
So you're going to make me wait till I'm 18?
Oh, it's just three years.
Be young.
Live a little.
This is the time of your life when it's okay to screw up.
Make some mistakes.
Yeah, you have the rest of your life to be a ghostbuster.
Okay, well, three years is nothing for you guys.
It's a tiny, negligible percentage of your lifespan.
She means we're old.
Yeah, I don't know.
You're not the only spangler here, you know.
Okay, well, this is my calling.
You should've decided to be a ghostbuster.
So did I.
I was studying birthplace in Oklahoma.
Then I went to dinner with your mom.
We turned into dogs.
And fulfilled an ancient prophecy that almost brought about the end of the world.
Now, that's a first date.
We both got some action.
Yeah, we did.
Okay, gross.
For you, I get it.
You're a scientist, but... She's just... Choose your next words very carefully.
I didn't think she even knew those words.
You could've backed me up.
It's great you're their buddy, but sometimes you need to be an asshole.
Why, is that really my place? I hope so.
You know, I want to be more than just their buddy.
I just don't know what's allowed.
Permission granted.
Well, great.
Great.
Oh, but I gotta warn you.
I mean, I can be scary.
Yeah, you're a monster.
You have no idea.
Don't look at me that way.
You left?
Hey, you left him off!
Hey! I'm so sorry.
That was really bad.
I scare myself sometimes.
I'll be nice to you.
I'll just be an asshole to your kids.
That's the only one.
All right, who's hungry?
Is the containment room okay?
It's always room for one more dose.
The light is green.
The trap is clean.
Rolling in three, two.
Greetings, ethereal beings, sub-human entities,
and spectral forms from the great beyond.
And any living humans who may be watching.
Welcome to Repossessed, the show where we
measure the spiritual energy of everyday objects.
I'm your host, Dr. Raymond Stence.
My young producer, in turn, reminds me to ask you that if you like what you see here,
please push like and subscribe.
Now, who do we have here?
Oh, I brought my late husband Harold's watch.
He wore it every day.
And now when I walk in the room, it beeps.
Well, any object that's been exposed to a
deep emotional experience can bind a spirit.
What is it?
An organic ghost trap, if you will.
The stronger the experience, or even trauma, the more powerful the trap.
The way we detect this energy is with one of these babies.
Oh, thank you.
If there's anything there, this item will detect it.
Harold, be it for the nice man.
Did you get anything?
I'm sorry, ma'am, but it seems that your dearly
departed spirit has left this earthly dimension.
Sorry, Laney. The hammer gets the views.
He was gone anyway.
Fitty.
Botman.
Yeah. Here's the Samford Moon sign near Weston.
Oh, I put it downstairs.
Here, say...
So, like, sleeping down here? Yeah.
Normally, Ray rents his places in order to go to something clubs on Booking.com.
And I just got lucky.
Sure gets another boy and swimmer at Dorkahoma.
So, I guess you're going to be crazy lately.
Anything to try to bite your arm off, like, class 5, class 7.
I've been benched.
Hold on.
It was so...
I told my parents I was at space camp.
Hmm.
Ah, let's take a move.
Uh, orbit. I'll talk to you guys later. Love you. Bye.
Yeah.
What are you doing?
It's a nightmare.
We're smuggling back from Summerville.
I'm pretty sure they're mating.
It's... disgusting.
That's... odd.
You the weird guy who buys strange old things?
Yeah, correct on both counts.
Buddy, you just hit the jackpot.
I saw stuff from my grandmother and it was passed
down to her, so it's, like, ancient, ancient.
Was she a believer?
Well, she believed a lot of demented and
superstitious stuff, if that's what you mean.
My kind of gal.
I've learned it's always best to knock every piece
of wood and throw a coin into every fountain.
Yeah, I just never know.
Well, I think you lose a lot of coins that way.
That's interesting stuff.
Sure is.
Ready for the whole lot? Nice.
Oh.
Oh, the glyphs on this.
Oh, yeah, the glyph one. You know your stuff,
man. That's the special piece in there.
Actually, it's in there by mistake. I can't part with it.
For less than 50 bucks.
Methoarabic? Yeah.
Methoarabic.
Very unique.
Sixty.
These kinds of brass objects were used to trap evil spirits.
Oh, you think there's something inside it? No clue.
If there is something trapped in here, you can bet it's for a good reason.
Definitely.
I'm going to take a PKE reading.
Psychokinetic energy meter.
May I do that?
Thank you for asking. So many places do that without asking.
Instant reaction.
Ooh.
Are you able to sell my life?
No.
Off the chart to the kinetic energy.
Full board convective spatter.
He took the words right out of my mouth.
I'll take the words.
Sorry, I don't have change.
Are you okay? Okay.
Talia, I mean, this... This wasn't here before. It shook the whole place.
Has anyone ever emptied this containment unit?
Where, Gary? The East River?
So you've just been stuffing ghosts in there since 1984?
That's the idea.
Well, maybe not the best idea.
I'll let Winston's engineers know about this.
Hey, by the way, about Winston's engineers.
Um, who are they?
No, that's not for me to say.
But what are they working on?
Is that super secret underground ghost busting stuff?
That's right, Gary.
Super secret underground ghost busting stuff.
And what?
Oh.
Mom!
Mom.
There's something in the attic.
You're an adult, right? Okay.
Yeah?
Then why don't you take care of it? Okay.
Yeah, sure, I will.
I will take care of it.
Do that right there.
You picked the wrong animal, Sproul.
What the actual hell?
What did you say? Thanks.
Where do you think you're going?
You're seriously not taking me?
I'm not looking at him.
I, um...
Here next to the supports.
What about you?
There's nothing I can handle with.
Did you shower?
Where is that product?
You're a ghost buster.
Ah, very funny.
Hey.
You know, I'm a ghost, right?
Kind of figured when the chess pieces started moving on their own.
And you're not?
Terrified of me.
Mom?
Should I be?
I just think it's kind of weird.
I mean, usually people run by now.
I can leave if you want.
No, I'm not saying you have to go.
You might float away again.
No, I'm not saying...
Still weird.
Nice.
Cleanse, by the way.
Yeah, I burned a lot.
I've been aware of buying tenement fire.
Guess you're lucky that you're not all crispy.
I died before my face melted off.
That's a bonus.
Checkmate.
I don't understand.
I can tell.
Hey, don't take it too hard.
I've had a lot of time to practice.
So, got a name? Phoebeep.
I'm Melody.
Coolie.
Thanks.
It was a family name.
I was being sarcastic.
Kind of like you.
What's the worst part about being a ghost?
I'll be sixteen for the rest of eternity.
Thanks.
No matter what.
Unless I...
complete my unfinished business.
Then what is the best part? Doing this.
So you're one of Winston's guys, huh? Gary.
Sorry.
Does that help you hear the ghost?
Yes.
Oh, what helps you listen to the ghost is silence.
Sorry.
Okay, alright, is something trying to get out? Pretty things.
Is this my dad's handwriting? His design.
The containment unit is essentially a large ghost trap.
That was Egon Spengler's great vision.
An articulated stream of protons that can stabilize the particles of the ghost.
Are you following them?
Yeah, of course I am.
After forty years of compiling spiritual waste, you ran out of space.
Well, didn't anybody see this coming?
It was the eighties.
Nobody was too worried about the future.
Then this happened.
This momentary burst of spiritual energy created a rift.
It's a potential gateway to the other side.
The other side?
Are we talking about?
I don't know what we're talking about.
That's what scares me.
Look, we didn't just buy the firehouse for nostalgia.
This building is the finger in the dam.
It's the fortification between everything we do and don't understand.
We have to protect.
Okay, so the ghost compactor broke.
Can you guys just build a new one?
What do you mean?
Don't they know it?
We already have.
While you've been out busting ghosts, my
engineers have been thinking about our future.
Once upon a time, this was a traperal aquarium.
Most recently, it's been more of a squatter's paradise and rave than you do.
Welcome to the Paranormal Research Center.
Ghostbusting asks a lot of questions.
Now we have a place to find the answers.
We have a parabotanist, we even have a parameusicologist.
Hey, Lucky!
Lucky!
Hey, you're here!
When you said you were entering, I didn't
know you'd be blowing stuff away with lasers.
I know, right? It's a little upgrade.
And of course, you all know Lars, our resident parabotanist.
Oh, no way! I used to have one of these.
Mind your fingers, it's possessed by an able spin duct of seeding.
Ray's stance has generously provided us with a collection of spirit-loaded items.
So everything in this place is haunted? Indeed.
Here's a rare find.
This grandfather clock is inhabited by the spirit of a natural grandfather.
Any emotionally charged object can contain a ghostbusting,
as long as it's experienced some sort of horrific event.
By fighting the atoms, we're able to create a fluid moment of chemical transition.
Then, we simply lock onto the spirit
and distract it from this host object.
And then, lovingly deposit it into our second chamber
so it can be properly disposed of.
Have you made any attempts on living possession? Oh, no.
We're still twinking.
Now, I didn't want to show it until it was ready,
but this is what I brought you here to see.
Our new containment unit, based on Egon's original design.
It can span the equivalent of 50 million cubic hectares of plasma confinement.
Psychic jail as big as the American West.
Home on the strange.
Where the specters and entities play.
Where the...
How long would it take to move the ghosts from the firehouse to here?
If we went trap by trap on regular shifts,
it could take anywhere between three to seven years.
Oh, so soonish.
Oh, I almost forgot.
We don't exactly know what it is.
We broke the PKA meter.
Good luck extracting whatever's inside it.
Yeah, we're still workshopping names.
I personally like Blue Ball of Hate,
the devil's testing me.
What's in here?
Wait, do you keep ghosts just hanging out in here?
We spent a long time trapping them.
Now we can study them.
Why don't they escape?
They're proton fields.
Precisely, it's the same technology as in your packs.
We use it in all the enclosures.
He's cute.
Hey, buddy.
Now, this one is the most threatening pest in the whole complex.
Possessible.
Mrs. Fry, a little weasel can occupy any inanimate manner at once.
Extremely dangerous.
Thieves, am I doing something wrong and it's not working?
You know what I mean?
A cyclotron is on you.
A cyclic.
Help me out.
You fixed it.
Why don't they just move out?
I know it sucks right now.
I do.
But it's just temporary.
And time flies by.
I promise you, I should know.
Two years ago I was in Oklahoma and now I'm here.
With a proton pack.
I was your science teacher.
And now...
Well, now I'm... And now I'm your...
Ghostbusters.
We're back, baby.
Ghostbusters are back.
Back in the big city.
Back in the big apple.
Gotta take a bite out of the big apple.
Phoebe Podcasts.
Podcasts in Phoebe.
Can't keep us apart.
Dynamic duo.
One more time.
Can't play right now.
I know you've seen me working.
If you're good later on you'll get a tennis ball.
Something wrong?
I think it's fighting extraction.
Not for this world.
Okay.
Small thing.
We need to wait for a generator to walk up.
Until then...
The proton fields are down.
Lawrence.
Why haven't the ghosts escaped yet?
Okay, we've just shut that thing up.
This is the place.
Yup.
I'd better unbuckle them.
You wait for the ghosts?
Bill?
Phoebe?
Blasting?
It.
Phoebe, what are you doing?
There's the third wheel.
Are you just standing there, fire?
What are you doing?
You... Oh!
I have graining.
Cool.
If I wanted to hate you then I would've but I didn't.
Right.
If it... If it makes you feel better.
I guess.
Yeah, I just feel like a warm rush of relief.
So... Do you wanna hang out?
You're inviting me in? Sure.
You're inviting me inside your ghost extermination headquarters.
I... yeah, I know what's fine.
I see how that could be.
It's cool you don't have to.
Nice digs.
You can trans-operate?
Oh, is that what I just did?
Yeah, I do that.
How do you touch the chess pieces if...
Basically, I exist on an entirely different dimensional plane.
Do you wanna get it?
Oh yeah, I love dimensional planes.
I've always wanted to visit a different dimensional plane.
I don't know what I said.
I...
So, like, is the rest of this place a school, or...
? Oh, uh... That's for me.
I know what this is.
Have you ever wondered what happens?
And we're all done here.
I mean, I've seen it.
Yeah, I mean, it's...
It's really beautiful, actually.
I mean, your particles start to lose their bonds and float off into space.
Then what?
quantum physics suggests that we become part of the fabric of the universe.
Do you believe that?
I believe in quantum ethics.
Uh... Sounds cool.
Maybe I'll be able to check it out someday.
I know, and you cross to the other side.
Yeah.
That's where my family is.
Why can't you join them?
I knew I'd already be there.
It's a vector object.
Oh, what?
It's like an emotionally charged anchor that keeps us tethered to this world.
Well, the last match burned my family alive, so... Yeah, well, that'll do it.
That was an accident.
I used to think these matches are some sort of key to moving on, but...
I've gotten used to the idea that I'm not going anywhere.
I'm sorry.
For you?
You okay down there?
Um... I'll be right up.
Ooh!
Yeah! I understand.
Hey, pal.
Got some cheetahs for you.
You can come on.
I'm only going to shoot you in the face.
Friends here.
Basement, now.
Can you explain this? No, I can't.
Cool.
Empirically, I've told you the mythical temperature of absolute zero,
the degree in which all particles stop.
Zero Kelvin.
The suspension of life itself.
Exquisite.
If you like that, you're going to love this.
Ever since you brought in this lethal slow cone,
the other ghosts have been acting peculiar.
I think it's communicating.
Is the orb just kind of chatting?
Not the orb itself, but whatever lies within it.
We think it's commanding the other ghosts with some sort of mind control.
Alright.
Wow.
Extreme thermodynamic exusions, fog transference.
This little cutie gets out, no telling how dangerous it could be.
Where the hell did you guys get this thing? Hey, man.
Hey.
Are you Nadeem Razmati? Maybe.
Did you recently sell a collection of family artifacts to race dance?
That money's gone.
We're not looking for a reaper.
Come on in.
I got a bunch of other stuff for sale.
I am a licensed third party reseller of sneakers.
What's your shoe size, my man?
Ten.
I don't have any tens. Can you squeeze into an eight?
No, probably not.
Is this your bachelor five?
This is my daddy's place, my grandmother's.
Nipple stuff, iconic.
Oh yeah, that was my daddy's favorite painting.
I can't really part with it. What's your offer?
What was your grandmother's deal?
We weren't really that close. She said I was unambitious.
But really, who's the brave one, huh?
The brother who goes to engineering school or the one
who forges ahead with no education or future prospects? The second one.
Right?
Yes, absolutely.
Yeah, I think that all the time.
You have to meet yourself.
Yeah, I think that all the time.
You make sure it's about a particular object, raw soul, that's untouched.
Oh yeah, that came from my grandmother's special
backroom where she keeps all the really good stuff.
But I'm not supposed to take any of you back there, so...
Whoa.
Nice sex dungeon. Okay, daddy.
What? A sex dungeon?
What? A sex dungeon have these chains?
Yeah, definitely.
As soon as I said it, I realized it, but...
Seriously, what is she doing here? I don't know.
I found this room after she died while I was looking for some fuck darts.
All this stuff is for sale, too, by the way.
Is this brass or copper? Brass.
Once believed to be a magical alloy.
There are countless tales of demons trapped in brass urns
and lamps going all the way back to the time of Solomon.
Sick outfit.
What?
Whoa, did you guys hear that?
No, I couldn't know anything. It's like a dead
room in here, so she can be as loud as she wants.
Please stop. Please stop making sex jokes about my recently deceased grandmother.
The brass hole. It was always kept in here.
As far as I know.
Is it possible she wanted to keep it quiet?
Why does that be?
It means you're coming with us.
Dr. Ray?
Yes, Phoebe?
I think that somebody left a rotting carrot on one of your shells.
Oh, that's a human pinky.
Picked that up at the old state hospital for the criminally insane in Pennsylvania.
Hon-ted. We had no equipment back then.
Um, I actually had a question I wanted to ask you.
Have you ever wondered what it would be like to be a ghost?
Every day of my life, dear.
Really? Sure.
I mean, how I would materialize.
What's that feel like? Would it be some kind of a visual manifestation?
I mean, something's going on.
What is that?
Um, I was just watching a video I shot at the orb.
I think the audio is corrupted or something. It's so weird.
Here.
Yeah.
Ancient verbiage.
Yeah, but what language? I'm dead.
I know a guy who could help us, but...
Should we investigate? We could.
Aren't you benched?
Aren't you retired?
Oh. You gonna take that for me? Yeah.
Hold still.
What's this?
It's just garden variety tests.
Are you a human?
You should be able to pass it easily unless
you are possessed by a cross-delayed beast.
Right. Just a couple human beings having a conversation.
One of them has a pasta pot strapped to his head.
Let's start off with a link.
Okay.
Puppies.
Love them or kill them? I love them.
That's one correct.
Okay. Great. Yeah.
But that was very easy.
Have you ever experienced deja vu?
No.
Have you ever experienced deja vu?
That's pretty good.
Ow!
What was that?
Don't throw any more pens at me, dude.
That made you angry, didn't it?
Yeah, it made me angry, didn't it? Hypothetical.
You're about to devour a small child.
Would you prefer skin-on or skinless? Okay.
I'm not... This interview is over. I'm not going to answer that.
Refused hands for that one? No, no, no.
I'm not refusing.
I'll do it. Is it a human child?
Are there other kinds of children?
Are you thinking of a specific child? Is this child related to me?
Would that be necessary?
No, it's not necessary. You're the one who brought it up.
I don't want to eat anything.
I told you to stop throwing pens at me.
I'm sure it's a perfect... No, no reaction.
Okay, okay.
What are you staring at?
Did I pass?
Doctor stands up. I think that this is a legal parking space.
Ah, they know me here.
The two legal kids actually have names with patience and fortitude.
Ah, no. Doctor stands.
No, you are forbidden from coming within 50 feet of this library.
Good to see you, buddy. You've been a long time, huh? Honey.
Excuse us.
It's not a scenic. It's not county and it ain't French.
This is pre-Sumerian. This is pre-Sanskrit.
Well, what does it mean?
Five people in the world can understand these words.
Which means my colleague, Dr. Yaren Geary, put you up to this.
Yeah, Geary's already dead.
What?
No, your calling's fine. Your calling's fine.
Sorry. The fudge is wrong with you.
Listen, this language has been dead for thousands of years.
How did you get this recording?
Do you believe in spiritual inhabitation?
Structural possession?
Look, there's a reason I'm down here in the basement.
I'm the library folklorist.
I'm also the tri-state treasurer of the H.P. Lovecraft Society.
So do I believe in spirits? Yes, I believe in spirits.
I believe in self-winding clocks and the singing cheeses of Copenhagen.
Please, continue.
Right. The ancient chance you heard came from this mysterious object.
It's about the size of a bocce vault.
Come with me to the library.
Are we not in the library?
Upstairs is just for show.
Gilded research rooms where struggling actors can twitch-stream and buy crypto.
The old library is unknown.
Welcome to the old library.
That object of yours,
its last recorded sighting
wasn't photographed
and it wasn't painted.
It was carved in stone.
Recognize anything?
There's your orb.
What is it?
The better question is, what's inside of it?
What's inside of it?
Excellent question.
Probably sand, but if you believe the folklore,
and I always believe the folklore,
that orb is a magical prison
phantom god called Karaka.
See, four thousand years ago,
Karaka served a bloodthirsty king called Samudari.
You know, from the Battle of the Seven Armies, etc. etc.
After Karaka helped conquer half of Central Asia,
the king grew suspicious of his ambitions.
Karaka was captured, branded, broken, and disfigured.
His horns, the source of his greatest strength,
off his head, some nasty stuff.
I love it, no notes.
But Karaka didn't take too kindly to that and went on a bit of a murder bender.
His plan was to raise an army of the undead and wage
war on humanity by channeling fear into a weapon.
Kusharakumoti.
The death chill.
The power to kill by fear itself.
The cold shiver runs down your spine.
Your veins turn to rivers of ice.
Your bones crack.
Your lungs cave.
And the last thing you see
is your own tear ducts freezing up.
So cool!
Anywho, before Karaka could collapse the collective
bronchial tubes of Greater South Asia,
he finally met his match.
His icy spell was shattered.
By a roving band of mythical spirit catchers called the Fire Masters,
who used fire and brass to trap the evil god inside of an orb.
Very orb.
You now possess.
Kind of like Ghostbusters.
Yeah.
If you're willing to entertain a little historical gossip,
these are wax cylinders.
Nineteenth-century audio recordings.
Our collection is bonkers here.
Mary Todd Lincoln using the F word.
Apparently she saw a moth.
But what I think you'll be most interested in is this one.
See, back in the Gilded Age of our fair metropolis,
there was this group of rich assholes called the Manhattan Adventurers Society.
They wouldn't steal relics and artifacts.
They'd get together.
They'd enjoy them with their Beaujolais and a couple of hookers.
Real colonial loot fest kind of stuff.
Anyway, one night they took out a particularly rare relic,
the Orb of Garaka.
And then they played this chant,
which opened New York.
For the first time in New York history,
a room full of people froze to death
in the middle of July.
What the hell was that?
A possessor ghost, master of concealment and disguise.
Now it'll be impossible to find.
Oh, oh, there it is.
Well, that's a close one.
We don't want that getting away.
Give me a boost, will ya?
Okay, I got you.
Okay.
Dr. A!
Dr. A and VB.
They're iconic.
People love them.
They mean kids want to visit the library.
Kids? To get kids to visit the library?
I love the library.
Then why did you shoot attitude in the face?
I was doing my job.
You don't have the job! Magnifique!
My compliments to the chef.
As far as fiasco's go, this was just dynamite.
One would think, though,
you'd have a little more respect for the public library.
You being such a bookworm, why don't you just back off?
I just want to thank her.
For what?
For 40 years, I've been waiting to say these words.
The Ghostbusters are finished.
Your firehouse has been condemned.
Your packs are in a police lock-up.
They'll be melted down for scrap by morning.
And just wait until I get ahold of your car.
I just hold on.
The last time you tried to shut us down, you
created a cross-rip into another dimension.
Watch out, kiddo. That sounds a lot like slander.
That's a crime punishable at the time in prison.
So let me ask you,
Miss Fengler, are you going to behave?
Or do I need to have you arrested?
Well, we really thought you'd better choose to behave.
I'm trying to get it. You're upset.
Can we just get to the part where you ground me and move on?
Oh, you're not grounded. You're fired.
Honestly, if you were a Spangler, you'd be answering our phones.
Excuse me?
Don't talk to her like that.
Are you serious?
I'm very serious. She's your mom.
Being a Spangler doesn't make you a genius. It just makes you part of this family.
Are you even a part of this family? Maybe.
I get it.
Fair enough.
But maybe if you weren't being so selfish, you might notice that your mom,
your brother, and I have been doing everything to try and protect you.
So wake up!
Sucks, doesn't it?
What the hell was that?
You had to get a wax on, but- What kind of ramble you had yourself into?
A ramble called a ramble was turning back and shut up! Jeez.
We too old for this.
I don't know what our age has to do with this.
There was a chanting ray on that cylinder. It's
a trigger. It's a counter- It got yourself hurt.
You could've kept those kids hurt.
Jeez, Ray.
The eyes.
Take a vacation.
Ray, go visit some old roads or something. I almost said your
ass on a beach somewhere. A little color wouldn't kill you.
Ray, this is supposed to be our golden years.
Winston, this is the way I want to spend my golden years.
This is what I love.
I know.
Me too.
But you need to find a new way to do the things you love before it kills you.
Thebes.
Oh, man.
They stole our gear.
Simple forfeiture.
I believe it's the terminology.
Stop it!
Fireball?
Oh yeah, you really gotta try that thing, dude.
Who is he?
Well, I'm the name of a potential deep well of
psychokinetic energy and quite possibly possessed.
Can I try the Fireball?
Yeah, knock your socks off.
Is this the last night in the Firehouse? I don't know.
Hey.
So this is it, huh?
I'm used to being on the move. I'm good at it.
I don't know.
I'd kind of like to stay and fight for this place.
It's not our place.
Of course it is.
We can't leave.
I mean, if there's something strange in the neighborhood, who are they gonna call?
If there's something weird, and it don't look good...
How you gonna call it? Ghostbusters.
Well, I'm sorry, what was that? Ghostbusters.
Ghostbusters!
This is the home of the Ghostbusters.
We're the Ghostbusters.
Can I tell you something else? It's important.
What?
Bustin' makes me feel numb.
It makes... Get out.
Holy crap!
This place is trash!
What happened here?
What's your disaster? What have you done?
This is a very sensitive area, which is freezing.
Well, maybe it wouldn't be freezing if a certain someone
had left his grandmother's orb in her room where it belongs.
Wait, I'm confused.
You're saying this is my fault.
Here's the deal.
Your grandmother was guardian of the orb, the last line of defense against Garaka.
Now it's your turn. You are the Firemaster.
Oh, that's dramatic. I like that.
It's not a joke, man.
For thousands of years, your family has selflessly
guarded the world from an unimaginable evil.
Now, either she didn't tell you about it, or you weren't listening.
Could've been either. We had a complicated relationship.
Instead, you come into my shop.
Try to sell your heritage, your birthright, for 50 bucks.
You should be ashamed of yourself.
Who are you? Who's that?
You are the Firemaster.
It's time for you to claim your destiny, son.
Like the candle.
I think we both know that's impossible.
Son, I stopped believing in that word a long time ago.
What if you were humanity's last hope?
Dude, that nerve in anyone's only hope.
I went to see you prom as a backup for someone's brother.
You may not choose to believe it, but there are many
stories of people with inexplicable gifts going back.
Eox. The strength of Samson. The speed of Achilles.
Perfect pitch. Sick dance moves.
Even pyrokinesis.
Like the candle.
Like the candle?
Just like that? I just do that?
Indus literature speaks of a sacred fire.
A smokeless flame, like the kind Moses saw in
Mount Horeb when he encountered the burning bush.
Like the kind the demon Jin brought forth from the seven earths that
flowed through the hair of Sambo Kojin, the Japanese god of the hearth.
That same sacred power exists in your fingertips.
Oh...
Oh... You liked him.
It's his first time.
I think we're all going to die.
Phoebe?
Can I come in?
I just wanted to talk to you about what happened at the police station.
Because I know that was rough.
But you know, life is rough. Life is unpredictable and crazy and...
Doors, clothes, friends change.
But family is...
Is the one thing that's there no matter what.
You know, uh...
Sometimes they're not even your actual blood relatives. They're just...
They're the people that remind you, you have a home.
Anyways, I think you're great.
I think you're really great.
I'm really glad we had this talk.
I don't know. Every time I do what I think is right, they
just come down on me like I'm screwing everything up.
That's ridiculous.
I know.
But... It just sucks that the only person who gets me is... The ghost.
Yeah, it's too bad we exist on different dimensional planes.
Separated by quantum physics.
It's not always something.
I mean, there is a way for me to be a ghost for a bit.
But it's experimental.
I wouldn't want to risk it.
It's not lethal.
As a plus, just requires a little bit of life
breaking and entering into some advanced science.
I mean, I wouldn't want to get you into any more trouble.
What else can they do to me?
What is that thing?
It's an ionic separator.
It will allow us to temporarily exist on the same dimensional plane.
My spirit will be separated from my body for only two minutes.
Then I'll re-
What's wrong? I'm sorry.
What?
A human voice is the key.
But Garaga can't control humans.
Only ghosts.
And now he can control you.
Garaga is the only one who can open the door to the other side.
My only chance...
My only chance to see my family again.
Maybe one day I'll understand.
My only chance to see my family again.
Your world will shatter.
Bones and ice.
My empire will rise.
Garaga!
Are you okay?
My spirit is separated from my body.
I tried to stop an accident.
You're okay. That's all that matters.
No, you're not in trouble.
She's right.
We'll do the big trouble.
A minute, sir.
Finishing this up.
I'll be right with you.
Are you the fire master? Yeah, man.
Read the damn sign.
Should we call this one in?
Yeah, call this one in.
Ah!
It's okay if you guys hate me.
We don't hate you.
We're worried about you.
We didn't know where you were. You could have been killed.
Trust me, I should know.
I just feel stupid.
It's okay to feel stupid.
You're the smartest people I know of morons.
Yeah, and I told you to make mistakes.
Yeah, man.
Maybe next time we get a tattoo.
You want to try shoplifting?
Hey, that ain't fun.
Yeah, okay.
Hey, are you ready to be a spangler again?
Good, because we need you.
Finney, how did Garaka get out? Doesn't matter.
It's coming right for us. It's really bad.
Who's coming right for us?
Typical manifestation of evil, ender of worlds, that kind of thing.
Garaka's coming for the containment unit to
recruit every ghost in the tank we've ever caught.
We can't allow that to happen.
You'll have a paranormal army of ghosts.
Army of ghosts?
Guys, it's okay. We're fine. Look, we're good. Calm down.
We have the fire master.
Do the thing.
This is really great.
Right.
Where are our proton bags? No packs.
Get to the roof, all right? Just shoot anything that's terrifying.
But I already threw a proton string at that thing. It didn't even flinch.
How is that possible?
It's an ancient god from another dimension. There's no isotopic composition.
Dr. Ray?
Yeah?
Copper can conduct an electrical field like the one in our colliders.
Yeah, but there's no copper left in the firehouse.
Stripped by vagrants in the nineties.
Well, then what about brass? Brass.
Especially if it's psychically charged.
Our proton packs use nickel and zinc as primary drivers for spectral agitation.
But garaka is different.
The ancient ghost trappers used brass to trap them.
If I brass plate components on my pack, it could give us a chance.
Wow, we managed to faster decay at split time and narrow the stream intensification.
Terrific known improvements.
Let's get to work.
Here we go.
Can I be of any help? Absolutely.
Thank you.
You've got to be kidding me.
Oh, sweetheart.
Melbeth's in uniform.
Lucas Fordy.
Courage? Anyone?
No, no, no, no, no. I don't like that.
What do you see up there? A tripe.
Tell us a tripe.
A what?
A kid tries to go rolling down the street on his own.
No, no. Possessor, possessor. You need to get down here now.
Yeah.
What's going on?
Oh, it's really bad. The world's ending. You and I go up there.
How's it going? Oh, terrible.
Okay, just keep practicing, man. We got here, man.
Could one of the adults also come and help?
Maybe the flight of my life, I thought you were one of the big scary ones.
How'd you get all the way up here? Ooh, paper.
It's random.
Lucky!
Lucky, you okay? Oh, shit.
I know that guy!
Where's Phoebe?
Good luck!
So is any of it real?
Yeah, I actually did beat you at chess.
Well, my family's up there now.
We still have time to stop this.
It's too late.
He's here.
Well, if I can't help you, move on. You have to do that yourself.
How do I get to the basement?
How?
Because you're useless.
Look, dude, I'm probably your worst nightmare.
Okay, okay, okay.
Real talk, man, too.
Whatever.
I don't want to hurt you, okay?
So how about we call this even, we each go our separate ways.
I go back to Queens, you go back to Narnia.
Me? No, I'm not the Fire Master.
I'm just Nadine.
I'm at the record show.
I gave you a chance.
Dude, you used all the lighter fluid?
You told me to practice.
Um, does anyone ever like it?
I quit smoking in the 90s.
Proud of you then, proud of you now.
No, no, no, no, wait, wait.
No.
We're gonna need a bigger trap.
It's right there.
Go back and let all the spirits out.
Peter, do you know what this means?
You know what we can do?
Or I'd pretend I don't.
If we neutralize the mass energy and density to reduce criticality,
It will force the tank to repmans itself and reverse the bridges.
Yes. Do it! We all trust you!
You golden years!
Golden years!
The whole world is green.
I knew you had one more dance in you.
Yes! You're toast! You were right.
I'll see you in the fabric of the universe.
City-wide devastation.
I'm putting you away for a long time.
You're plowing.
You're never gonna get it, are you?
Mr. Mayor, what do you have to say to the Ghostbusters?
It sounds like we had your undivided support.
Well, yes, of course we did.
Good. I'm so happy to hear that, Mr. Mayor, because without Phoebe and our family,
this whole city would be under three feet of ice.
This is experiencing unusual paranormal activity.
We are here to answer that call, because we are the Ghostbusters!
Well, it's not my first evil god.
I am the Dean. I am a fire master, turns out.
Like my daddy before me.
Did we win?
Nothing comes together. What do you call them? There's a team.
A family.
Yeah, the Spanglers. We're the Spanglers.
Okay.
Well, you know what an Aunt Groover said, trust me.
Guys, put on your backs.
Sorry, Dad.
Sorry.
Yeah, I heard it.
There are a lot of people, so go story.
Look who's facing.
Hey!
