[beeping]
Uh, Gene, I really don'tthink that's a good idea.
Come on, relax Corky, it's just a gag.
I'm just changing a number in the phone company's computer.
Well, all done. [chuckles]
Now, whenever somebodytries to dial the Ghostbusters
they'll get a pizza parlor instead.
Well, I guessthat's kinda funny, Gene.
But still, it might be dangerous.
Oh, don't be such a doofus, Corky.
Here, watch the master hacker in action again.
I'll find us a new computer system to break into.
But it's illegal to do that, Gene.
Won't we get in trouble?
No, nobody's gonna catch us.
Even my parents are gonna be gone all night.
It's perfectly safe. Come on, trust me, Corky.
[thunder clap]
[Prime Evil] Cousin Terror.
You old horror.
You're looking as loathsome as ever.
Thank you, Prime Evil.
The years have not made you any prettier yourself.
So, this is your new place.
Looks hideous.
Yes, I'm rather proud of it.
Let me show you around.
I'm glad you were able to come by, Terror.
I have a little job for you. [chuckles]
But I'll explain that later.
[Prime Evil] Right now, let me just show you my new computer system.
[thunderclap]
What, what is it, Gene?
[stutters] I don't know.
I've broken intoa computer system, all right.
But... I've never seen anything like it before.
Maybe you'd betterleave it alone.
-Get outta there before-- -Hey!
Listen, you're talking to themaster hacker here, remember?
No system's gonna scare me off.
We're goin' in.
[thunderclap]
[Prime Evil screeches, chuckles]
[Prime Evil] Here it is, Terror.
My prime computer.
The first step in my latestattempt to conquer the Earth.
What's your plan?
Simple. All thenuclear missiles of the world
are controlled by computers.
Using my prime computer,
I will gain control of these missile systems
while you keep the humans from interfering.
And when I control the missiles...
[screeches]
...the earth will be forced to bow to me.
[laughing]
Scared Stiff,haven't you broken into
a missile controlcomputer system yet?
Not yet, Your Scariness.
It is not easy.
Ah, you're just incompetent.
-I'll-- -Permit me, cousin.
Why of course, Terror.
Anything for a guest.
No, please.
I'll try to do better.
You have displeased your master, Scared Stiff.
Now, look into the face of Terror.
[whimpering] Oh, oh, oh!
Sorry, didn't mean to be so untidy.
Ah, he'll be all right.
That worthless robot always falls apart like that.
I'm more concerned about finding a better operator
for my computer.
[exclaims] What?
What on earth is that?
What on earth is that?
It's little animationprogram I wrote a while back.
Thought I'd play it for whose ever system this is.
[Corky]You know, guess whose everwatching it'll laugh.
[screeching]
This is not funny.
Someone is mocking me.
Someone has broken into my prime computer.
Someone is going to...
[screeches]
Wait.
Yes, this could be my lucky break.
I need someone who can break into computers
and here is someone breaking into mine.
Terror, can you capture this person for me?
Can I? [laughing]
Just watch and see.
You're not gettin'any response, Gene.
-Let's turn it off before-- -Wait.
[Gene] Something'scoming through now.
[Corky] What? What is it?
I-- I don't know.' But I don't like it.
I'm gonna turn it off before--
[screaming]
Foolish, human.
You intruded where you should not have.
Now, you must pay the price.
No, no!
-No! -Look, human.
Look into the face of Terror.
Oh, wow!
Oh, the Ghostbusters.
[screaming]
[Terror] Come out, human.
Oh, oh, no. Please, hurry.
[female on phone] Antonio's Pizza. We deliver.
[thudding]
[zaps]
[exclaiming] Aye!
I have need of your friend, human.
But I have no need of you. But I want no interference.
You must never tell anyone what happened here tonight.
Because if you do, I'll be back.
And you'll look again into the face of Terror.
[grunting]
This is the life, eh, fellas.
[yawning]
You said it, Eddie.
On a night like this,
I don't think anythingcould upset me.
[doorbell rings]
See who that is, will you, Belfry?
Right, Jake.
[grunting]
Jake, it's Corky.
Corky? Well, tell him to come in, Belfry.
He can have a hot dog.
Ah, you'd better come here, Jake.
I think something's happened to Corky.
Oh, oh.
Oh, no, Corky.
Corky, are you alright?
What happened?
[stuttering] It was horrible.
What was horrible, Corky, tell us?
[stammers] I can't, I can't tell you.
He said never to tell, so I can't. I can't.
Don't you see guys? I'm so sacred of what would happen.
Why don't you comeinside for a while, Corky?
I think, you better have a little...
No, I can't tell you.
[Corky] I can't.
[Jake] Look, Corky, until we know what happened, we can't help you.
And the only way we can find out is for you to tell us.
No, I can't tell you.He said, never to tell anyone.
[whimpering] He said, if I told anyone, he... he... [panting]
He what, Corky?
He... he'd come back.
Please, listen. We're your friends.
We won't let anyone hurt you.
But you have to help us.
You have to tell us what happened.
I can't. He said never to tell.
Listen, son, the more someone threatens you
to make you keep a secret, the more important it is
that you tell someone about it as soon as possible.
Someone you trust. You trust us, don't you?
Yeah, that's why I came here.
Then, please tell us what happened, Corky.
Believe me, we won't let anything bad happen to you.
We're your friends. We care about you.
All right, I'll tell you.
My friend Gene and I were messing with his computer.
[thunderclap]
[Prime Evil screeching]
[snickering]
[Prime Evil] Oh, this is excellent, Terror.
Excellent!
This young computer operator you brought me
is precisely what I required.
He has already discovereda computer system
that controls somenuclear missiles.
He is doing much better thansomeone else I could mention.
[stutters] Sorry, Prime Evil.
I, oh...
Falls apart easily, doesn't he?
Yes, I think he's gota screw loose somewhere.
Ahh!
The human has broken the computer security codes.
[screeches]
As soon as he gains control of the computer--
You take over.
[snickering]
Yes.
[crows cawing]
[intense music playing]
[male 1] Oh, oh, Lieutenant, we got something odd here.
What is it, Corporal?
I'm getting an odd interference pattern
on the main missile control system, sir.
Take a look.
What do you make of it, sir?
[Lieutenant]Hmm, I don't know that is.
But I don't like it.
I'll switch to override.
Huh?
You'll do nothing, human.
Say, look into the face of Terror.
[both screaming]
[Jake] So you say that this Knight of Terror took your friend Gene
back to Hauntquarters with him, hmm?'
Yes, oh, it was horrible.
He told me never to tellor he would come back.
You did the right thing to tell us, Corky.
Because now we can do something about it.
[all] Let's go, Ghostbusters!

Oh, oh, oh. Can't you guys get in the car through
the doors like normal people?
To Hauntquarters, Tracy.
-[Corky] Wait! -Let's wait like, forever.
I'm going too.
No, Corky, it's too dangerous.
But Gene's my friend. I have to go.
Besides, I'm scared to stay by myself.
Knight of Terror might come back.
Easy, Corky. Remember, the only weapon Terror has is fear.
All he can do is scare you.
If you're not scared,he can't hurt you.
All right, Corky, you can go.
But you have to stay with G.B., out of danger.
No problem, Jake.
Staying out of dangerwas sorta what I had in mind.
[swooshes]
[Prime Evil snickering]
My plan is working perfectly, Terror.
Already I control half thenuclear missiles in the world.
And as soon as I control the other half,
I will control...
[screeches]
...the universe.
[Brat-A-Rat] Boss, boss!
It's the Ghostbusters,they are coming here.
What? They must be trying to rescue this human.
But how could they have found out?
It must have been that other boy.
He must have told.
He... will regret that!
You'll have time for yourrevenge later, Terror.
Right now, we haveto prepare for...
[grunting]
...the Ghostbusters.
Oh-oh, looks like somebody saw us coming.
Can you get us inside, Tracy?
[Tracy] Sure, no problem.
[grunting]
[thud]
[whistling]
Nice work, Tracy.
[laughing]
Now let's get going, guys.
We've got ghosts to bust.
[upbeat music playing]
[screeches]
Now, my evil legions.
[explosions]
Get them!
[howling]
[grunting]
[grunting]
[thud]
[stutters] Who did that? I, uh...
Nighty night.
[zaps]
[snoring]
[grunting]
[howling]
[continues howling]
[buzzing]
That got him. Thanks, Trace.
No problem.
[chuckling]
[screaming]
Get them, get them, get them!
Hmm. I will leave you to your sport, cousin.
What? Where are you going?
The other boy is here.
Oh, boy!What a fight.
The Ghostbusters are really letting
Prime Evil's bad guys have it.
Boy, I wish I-- Huh?
So, human,I warned you never to tell.
But you did not heed my warning.
And for that...
You must pay.
[cackling]
[zap]
Ha! That's the last of them.
Now, Prime Evil,where is Corky's friend Gene?
I, uh, I, uh...
Come on, we haven't got...
-[Corky] No! -Corky!
[zaps]
[grunting]
I told you what would happen if you told.
Foolish human.
Now, look into the face of Terror.
No, no!
Remember, the only weapon Terror has is fear.
All he can do is scare you.
If you're not scared, he can't hurt you.
You can't hurt me.
You can't hurt me. You stupid ghost.
I'm not scared of you at all.
[blowing a raspberry]
[grunting]
Hey, I'm free.
Now, I can use this computer tocause trouble for Prime Evil.
[beeping]
[Eddie] All right, you did it, Corky.
You defeated the Knight of Terror.
That may be. But you have not defeated me.
I shall--
-[rumbling] -Whoa!
[thunderclaps]
What's going on?
Ah!
[beeping]
Great, I don't know where that water came from
but it sure got us free from Prime Evil.
Now, let's grab Gene and get outta here.
[Gene] Here I am. I'm coming.
[thunderclap]
Gene, you're all right.
I guess Terror's spell has been broken.
That's not all that's been broken.
Prime Evil's computer controlled everything in Hauntquarters.
As you can see, I reprogrammed it a little.
[thunderclap]
Nice going, Gene.
That should keep Prime Evil busy long enough
for us to get outta here, so let's get going.
[thunderclaps]
[Eddie] Boy, it sure is gonna take Prime a long time
to get Hauntquarters back under control.
[swoosh]
That's for sure. It'll keep him outta trouble for a while.
Now, what say we all go back to the office
and celebrate by ordering out for a pizza?
Corky tells me you know a realgood place to call, Gene.
Uh, sorry, Jake.
I'll switch yourphone number back justas soon as I get home.
You better, The Ansabone's getting hungry
taking all those pizza orders.
[all laughing]
In today's story, Corky was scared.
The Knight of Terror told him to tell no one what happened to Gene.
But Corky told the Ghostbusters.
Because he knew that telling
was the right thing to do.
If someone threatens you
to make you keep a secret
then something's wrong, very wrong.
Don't be afraid. Tell someoneyou trust, like your parents.
Or a good friend.
Because a secret based on fear,
is a secret you shouldn't keep.
Tell someone.
Bye now. See you soon.
