[Master Computer
Alert, alert!

Meteor attack sector GB71.



Shall I activate
the lasers, Dr. Morrow?

Yes, Master Computer,
commence standard
laser procedure.

[boom]

One down, two to go.

[boom]

[man] Good work, Dr. Morrow

I always knew
you were the one we could
count on when things got tough.

I can't wait to get back
and report Crusader

is fully operational.

Thanks to you, doc,
earth will be safe

from Cyman's meteor rains.

[zap]

Congratulations, brother.
I'm proud of you.

Thanks, sis.

[Cyman]
We are still undetected.

Activate invisibility barrier.

[Specter]
Invisibility barrier activated.

-Ready, Specter?
-Ready, Cyman.

-I await your command.
-Just another minute.

And I'll have Morrow
and his meddling sister, Futura

right where I want them.

[zap]

[beeping]

[Futura]
Greetings, Ghostbusters.

[Jake] Futura.

Hey, how about
a little vacation?

-Vacation?
-Yes.

I want you
to meet someone special.

Someone very special.

-Someone special?
-Yes, he's..

[Master Computer] Alert, alert.

Oh, something's wrong.
I'll have to call you back.

Oh-oh, sounds like trouble.

Yeah, we don't even know whereshe was calling from.

Well, I'm not going to move
until Futura calls back.

[zap]

[Master Computer]
Sensors indicate a camouflaged
star cruiser nearby.

Cyman?

Given a careful assessment
of probabilities

I would say yes.

Time for our little surprise.

A little surprise? [evil laugh]

That's good, Cyman.

That's very good.

[zap]

Ha ha ha.

Phase one completed, Specter.

Stand by for Phase two.

[zap]

[laughing]

Do your worst, Specter.
Your very worst.

[buzzing]

[Master Computer]
Red alert! Red alert!

We have been hit
by an energy bolt

of undetermined type
and origin.

And... our... power... cells...

Cyman's done something
to the Master Computer.

Forget Cyman, look.

We're going to be smashed
by that meteor.

All power to the shields.

Okay, but there's not
much power left.

[boom]

[zap]

[Eddie] Jake, it's her.
It's Futura.

Jake, Tracy, Eddie...

-Futura.
- Come in, Ghostbusters.

-Come in.
-'We hear you, Futura.'

-Go ahead.
-Ghostbusters, come in.

Calling Ghostbusters.

[Skelevision]
Oh, sorry, guys. Somebody'sjamming Futura's transmission.

We can hear her
but she can't hear us.

[Futura] Help.

30-ascend, asteroid belt,
star base crusader.

Help...

[sniggering]

Help!

Yeow! Who is that?

I don't know, Eddie.
But I can tell you this.

We're going
to the future to find out.

Beware, Ghostbunglers.

If you know
what's good for you

you'll stay put
in the 20th century.

Where you belong.

Alright, team, let's go.

-Yeah.
-Oof.

[Tracy laughing]

B-- B--
What about me?
I wanna go too.

Gee, Belfry, what if Futura
tries to call again?

Somebody has to be here.

Well, okay, I'll stay.

But this is the last time.

Alright, Eddie, time to put
on our ghost clothes.

[all] Let's go, Ghostbusters!

[swoosh]

Hit the time turbo, Tracy.
We gotta hurry.

[screech]

[screams]

Time Turbo? Uh-huh.
No way, forget it.

But G.B., it's Futura.

She's in trouble. Real trouble.

Futura in trouble?

Well, why didn't you say so?

That means Time Hopper's
in trouble too.

[tires screeching]

On your toes, you bozos.

Here we go-o-o!

[swoosh]

[tires screeching]

Look, there it is.
The Crusader.

Wow, big enough for you, Jake?

Yeah, but how do we get in?

[swoosh]

[Futura] Ah, you made it.

Futura, you okay?

For the time being. Come on,
we better get inside.

The Crusader's Master Computerhas been taken over by a ghost.

Ghost. Huh, Hopper?

I was really worried about you.

[Hopper] And I really worry
about you too, muffler-mouth.

Meet my brother, Morrow.

Jake Kong, I've heard a lot
about you from my sister.

Ha, gee, thanks.

Now what makes you think
your Master Computer's haunted?

This. Watch the TV.

Yeow!

Now, that's it for me.
No more TV.

Don't worry, you can always
count on the Ghostbusters

when things really get tough.

Uh, exactly how do we
get inside the computer

to get that ghost out?

I haven't slightest idea, Jake.

[grunting]

[Eddie] You got what, Trace?

An idea. He's got an idea.

He's got a bright idea.

[grunting]

How do you do that?

[Cyman]
Perfect. My plan is perfect.

They'll never find a way to get
Specter out of that computer.

Not before she's destroyed it.

Brilliant, Tracy.
Absolutely Brilliant.

Oh, yeah.
What exactly did he do?

Tracy's modified
a standard astro transporter

to miniaturize us
so we can beam
directly inside the computer.

That thing's gonna shrink us?

[Morrow] Right.

Oh, don't worry.
It won't last long.

Sis, I have to go in with
the Ghostbusters to guide them.

Can you hold the fort
while we're gone?

I'll be fine. You be careful
inside that computer.

If anything happened
to my favorite brother..

What do you mean,
favorite brother?

I'm your only brother.

Oh, just be careful.

[buzzing]

Alright, let's see if it works.

[zap]

[Jake] Here we go,
Ghostbusters!

[instrumental music]

[screaming]

Parachutes, men. Parachutes.

Use your parachutes.

Oh, no, not a pair of shoes.

Parachutes, Eddie. Parachutes.

[grunts]

Oh, got it.

See you below, Ghostbusters.

Wow.

[Jake] This is incredible.

[Eddie]
It's like another world
in here.

[dramatic music]

Ah, my favorite. Sitting duck.

[beeping]

Oh-oh, time to get movin'.

[beeping]

[whirring]

What? A game of chicken, eh?

Alright, I'll play.

Oh, hope this works.

Hah! I won't budge.

[indistinct automated voice]

[humming]

No! You crazy fool!

[whoosh]

Oh, it worked.

I bought us a little more time.

Jake, Eddie, Tracy,
look at this.

It's still smoking.

-Who ever did that--
-Is probably still nearby.

Uh..

So..

The Ghostbunglers
and Doc Morrow.

I'll have to conjure up
something very special
for them.

[zap]

[growling]

Whoa, what's that?

I don't know.
But we better go find out.

Right, let's go, Ghostbusters.

Eh, do we have to?

[Tracy grunting]

[dramatic music]

[boing]

Ah!

You guys take me
to the nicest places.

[grunting]

No.

Jake, Morrow, come in.

Oh, too much interference.
I can't reach them.

Oh, no. Now what?

[pew]

[bam bam bam]

Ha! Their force field
is weakening.

It won't be long now.

That ghost's
still inside the computer

They're doomed.

[grunting]

[yelling]

[thud]

-[Jake] Yay, Tracy.
-[Eddie] Yay, right, Tracy.

[grunting]

Good work, Tracy.
That'll hold him until we
can...

-Now what?
-Oh-h-h.

The main circuit. Somebody's
sabotaging it. Come on.

[alarm blaring]

If that main circuit's
destroyed, Crusader is
finished.

And so are we.

[laughing]

Look.

[shrieking laughter]

If she short circuits
that chip..

How do we get up there
to stop her?

[grunts]

You've got another idea, Tracy?

Yup.

[sniggering]

A hat? That's his idea?

[grunting]

[alarm blaring]

Of course, bright light.

Just the thing
to zap a shadow wraith.

-[buzzing]
-[Tracy] Action!

Ah-h-h.

Ah-h-h.

Ah-h-h!

Dematerializer, Eddie. Hurry.

Oh, can't see.

Uh, can't see.

Fire!

Oh, no!

You can't do this to me.

Hurry, Ghostbusters.

If you're gonna do it,
do it now.

The Ghostbuster's
have done it.

Er, yes... what's going on?

Ah, they fixed the computer.

[dramatic music]

[ka-boom]

No!

It's impossible.
How could they?

[growling]

Now, what do we
do with this guy?

Yes, we can't
leave him in here.

We oughta send
him back to Cyman.

Terrific!

Hm. Bright Idea.

Huh, really me?

[zap]

[buzzing]

You sorry stupid excuse
for a shadow race.

Hey, wait a minute I--

Wait a minute?
I waited hours and for what?

You let those-- those
juvenile ghostbunglers zap you.

[Ghost Buggy ]Uh-uh, that's it.
I'm not gettin' any
clo-- clo-- closer.

It's okay,
this is close enough.

[Jake] This little beasty
will ride the beam right

into Cyman's computer.

[growling]

[Eddie] Bye-bye, beasty,
have fun inside
Cyman's computer.

[thuds]

We've been blasted.

Those Ghostbusters. A sneak
attack. How dare they?

[thuds]

-Ah-h-h!
-Ah-h-h!

[swoosh]

[Cyman] Do Something.
Turn it off.

[Specter] I can't.
He's inside the computer.

[indistinct chattering]

[Morrow] Jake,
I can't thank you enough.

Like my sister says,
you can always count on

the Ghostbusters when
things really get tough.

Hey, don't mention it.

Nothing's to too good for
Futura or her brother

as far as the Ghostbuster's
are concerned.

You know Futura thinks
you're pretty special too.

That's right.

[smooches]

Um, gee.

Aw... [chuckles]

[all laughing]

Hi, there. In today's story,
Futura and her brother

both had tough jobs to do.

But because of their love
for each other they knew

they could count
on each other for help.

There are always jobs or problems that are too tough

to handle alone
and that's when it's great

'to have a brother
or a sister, or a friend
to turn too.

Likewise whenever
someone you love

asks for help,
give them a hand.

Because that's what love
and families are all about.
