[dramatic music]
[Jake narrating] In the last episode, we traveled to the beginning
of time trying to solve the riddle of the stone tablet
and find our fathers.
We were captured by the ghost of the missing link.
And trapped without our ghost packs.
[dramatic music]
How are we ever gonna get out of here?
[music continues]
That's how.
It's our caveman pal Anga.
How could he get all the way here?
[Eddie] He invented the bicycle.
[grunting]
[grunting]
[vroom]
Tell Anga to get our ghost packs.
[instrumental music]
[screeching]
[grunting]
Hurry, Anga, before the ghost of the missing link comes back.
[music continues]
[cracking]
[swoosh]
-Alright! -Anga did it!
Anga did it, alright.
[Jake] You must have something that will get us out of here.
[blowing]
Wow!
[dramatic music]
[hissing]
[growling]
-The ghost of the missing link!-Oh, no!
Oh, no.
[chattering]
[growling]
Na-na-na-na.
They won't get away!
[revs]
Uh, Anga, Anga.
[upbeat music]
[hissing]
[music continues]
Careful, Tracy!
[growling]
[crash]
[growling]
Tracy's in trouble. We've got to do somethin'.
I know. Excalibur.
I just hope King Arthur's sword lives up to its legend.
[rumbling]
[rumbling]
[Ghost Of The Missing Link] It will take me days to move these rocks.
[chattering]
[peppy music]
Thanks, Anga, you really got us out of a jam back there.
Mm-hmm.
[honking]
[all] Bye, Anga.
Let's get out of here and find the last piece of that stone.
[chattering] Excalibur.
Right. We wouldn't wanna forget Excalibur.
[instrumental music]
[grunting]
Uh-oh!
It's stuck! How will we ever return it to King Arthur?
-I think we just did. -Huh?
According to legend, Arthurbecame king by pulling Excalibur
out of a stone.
This stone.
Partner, how does it feel to be a part of ancient history?
It feels ancient.
So they outsmarted the ghost of the missing link?
I underestimated those little pipsqueaks.
I can see I'm going to have to take care of them myself!
Hauntquarters is about to go for a little spin.
[piano music]
[music continues]
[Prime Evil] Next stop, the beginning of time!
[Prime Evil grunting] That's them.
I don't get it.
Tracy can't pick up any signof the last piece of the tablet.
[Jake] "Ghostbusters, the ones who find fathers
and save the future."
B-but where do we find them?
The answer must be in that last piece.
[Haunter] Quite right, ol' chap.
-Huh! Who was that? -Who was that?
I say, you blimeys are coming with us to Hauntquarters.
[dramatic music]
Look! Over there!
[thunder rumbling]
[Jake] That must be Hauntquarters.
[music continues]
Yikes! It's after me!
[music continues]
[screaming]
[indistinct]
And now, Futura, my spirits shall move you.
Wha..
Let me go!
[chattering]
Have a blast from my trans-lance.
[splatters]
Nighty night.
[dramatic music]
Prime Evil will tuck you in. [laughs]
[music continues]
[creaking]
Avast, laddies, I've caught meself a Ghostbuster.
[laughs]
[music continues]
[music continues]
[thunderclap]
[music continues]
You and your friends proved moredifficult than I expected.
But in the end, you ghost busting punks
were no match for me.
Where's my father?
So you still haven't solved the riddle of the stone tablet?
[laughs]
You never knew I had the last piece.
-You? -Of course.
I remembered seeing it in that mine your fathers locked me in.
When you're trapped for a hundred years
you remember every little details.
I've decided to turn the Ghost... busters into ghosts.
Impossible!
Nothing's impossible with my bone troller.
Every key serves a purpose.
For example, B flat takes Hauntquarters into the past.
F sharp into the future.
And here's what middle C does.
[piano music]
[dramatic music]
[screaming]
And this little tune controls my ghostarizer ray.
Perhaps you would like a personal demonstration?
Fangster! Fangster!
Oow! You howled.
Put him in the zap zone.
Next time we meet, you and the others
shall be my ghost slaves.
[laughs]
Oow! Hurry up! I wanna go outside and get me a moontan.
[dramatic music]
[Eddie] You're safe.
Futura, any chance of teleporting us out of here?
The zap zone is too strong.
It's jamming my powers.
What's that horrible music?
It's the bone troller.
It's gonna activate the ghostarizer ray.
[creaking]
He's going to turn us all into ghosts.
[chattering] Ghosts!
Oh, no!
I knew it. My horoscope said I'dhave a bad day at the office.
I'm a Vegetarius and the moon is in Scorpio and..
The moon! That's it!
There's a full moon out tonight.
I can call on Fuddy to grant me the power of my choosing.
Wizards of the Ancients, Fuddy, make me invincible.
You've got it, Jake.
[Jake] What happened?
I made you invisible, just like you asked.
[Jake] But I said invincible.
Uh-h.. Oops.
[whirring]
[Eddie] Oh, what's going on?
[Futura] It's turning us into ghosts.
[Jake] I'm already invisible.
Now I can walk through walls.
Hang tight. I've got an idea.
[laughs]
What beautiful music. Bravo!
You oughta make a music video. [laughing]
[hissing] Shut your snout!
[instrumental music]
[Jake] Now, which note did he say?
Middle C?
[piano music]
[splat]
Yeow! Something's wrong with my bone troller.
Who's been playing it?
Scared Stiff, Mysteria, Fangster.
All of you, get down here!
[Jake] Playing this ghostarizer melody backwards
should reverse the spell
on Eddie, Tracy and Futura.
Now, to rearrange these bone troller tusks.
[upbeat music]
[chattering] I'm okie-dokie.
Oh, something reversed the ghostarizer.
[Jake] I did.
Are you okay, partner?
I am now that Fuddy's spell has worn off.
Look what I've found.
[Futura] Oh! The last piece of the stone.
"Ghostbusters, the ones who findfathers and save the future."
The last piece doesn't say anything else.
That's what I thought at first.
But then I took another look.
It tells us right where our fathers are.
I don't get it.
You will. But right now, you better hang on to something.
Hauntquarters is about to go for a ride.
Which one of you has been playing with my bone troller?
None of you will confess? Very well.
I'll punish all of you.
Starting with Scared Stiff.
Oh, no.
[piano music]
[all screaming]
What's the meaning of this?
You mean, you switched around the tusks on the bone troller?
Right and Prime Evil must have just tried to zap someone.
I hope that key ought to take Hauntquarters to the future.
[dramatic music]
[music continues]
Oh, we're back in the future. In my era.
And we're gonna get our dads.
[music continues]
It wasn't just what the stone said, it's what it looked like.
The mine where we locked Prime Evil
up in the first place.
I bet my ghost pack they're inside.
[Jake] Okay everyone, on three.
One, two, three!
[all grunting]
[Jake] Dad!
[Eddie] Pop!
[Jake] Boy are we glad to see you.
We knew you'd find us.
But we never thought it would be this fast.
Fast? I-it took us over 3,000 years.
[Jake] I was afraid I wouldn't get another chance
to tell you I love you.
[chattering]
Uh-oh! You better take a look at this.
[dramatic music]
[laughs]
So, you finally solved the riddle?
Partner, it's now or never.
Let's show 'em we've got what it takes to be Ghostbusters.
Get them!
[all] Let's go Ghostbusters.
[upbeat music]
[creaking]
Ee-yay.
[music continues]
[music continues]
[music continues]
[fizzing]
[music continues]
[rattles]
[crashes]
[music continues]
You've had it!
Son, try the Ghost Gummer.
It's out of gum!
But that's impossible.
Let that Prime turkey do what he wants to me.
Come on, you gutless ghost.
You spineless spirit.
Why, you little...
[dramatic music]
Jake.
When I get my claws on you..
I guess history does repeat itself.
[Prime Evil] No! You tricked me! Let me out! Let me out!
You'll pay for this. Let me... o-ou...
Son, you just used the best ghost busting tool there is.
Your brain.
[upbeat music]
Futura, look! Your Time Hopper.
It followed you here all the way from the past?
It always knows where I am.
If she's here, you know who won't be far behind.
Yoo-hoo, Time Hopper, my little pet.
[screeching]
You almost got a-away from me.
Hey! Next time I'll be luckier.
[howling] She's crazy about me.
Status report on the future.
Sensor show, Prime Evil spell has worn off.
No ghost present.
All activity normal.
Did you hear that, guys?
You did it. You saved the future.
We all did, Futura.
I'd say we make a pretty good team.
Me too and now that I've met you
I expect to see a lot more of you.
Mwah. [laughs]
Well, partner, I'm ready to head home.
Me too. I can't wait to kick back, pick up a couple
of comic books and watch a little TV.
TV? I just remembered.
G.B., ghost command, on the double.
We're on live TV in 10 minutes.
Hmm. Must be one of those b-blooper shows.
[instrumental music]
[dramatic music]
[Prime Evil] Oh, alright. I admit it.
They really are ghost... busters.
But next time, I'll be ready for them. I'll--
[Brat-A-Rat] Yoo-hoo, Prime Evil.
Who is that?
I have good news and bad news.
Hmm? What's the bad news?
There's no way out of here.
I know that! What's the good news?
You've got me for company. [laughs]
[Prime Evil shouting]
[instrumental music]
Five, four, three, two, you're on.
This is Jessica Ray with a special interview
with the Ghostbusters, Jake, Eddie and Tracy.
Now, this reporter has yet to see a ghost.
But Jake has promised to bust one
right here on this telecast.
Unless, of course you are unableto find one. [laughs]
Tracy.
[Scared Stiff] Let me out. I feel like a canned ham.
[clearing throat] Hey, am I on TV?
[gasps]
[Jake] This is a robot ghost named Scared Stiff.
It's... it's a ghost.
Oh, hi, ma'am.
[Jake] The Dematerializer will send him to another dimension
for a little while.
I, uh, I must have stage fright.
Ladies and gentlemen, the Ghostbusters have busted
a real, live ghost and..
...I for one, do believe in ghosts.
-Me too. -Oh, me too.
Me too.
-Me too. -Uh, this is, uh..
Jessica, Jessica.
Uh, yes, Jessica Ray reporting live from the ghost command.
We'll be bringing you more onthis story in the weeks to come.
Jake, I-I've still got one question.
Who made that stone tablet about us saving the future?
Maybe it was a ghost.
