Original subtitles

Excellent.

[gasps]

Oh, my.

[gasps] Professor Brenner.

You must come see this at once.

[music intensifies]

And it had this peculiar face etched into the seedling.

[laughs] Sounds more like material for the tabloids

than your doctoral thesis.

[both gasp]

Huh? Remarkable.

[ominous music playing]

-[roars] -[Brenner yells]

[grunts, then screams]

[both grunt]

Are you all right there, professor?

Sajid, don't move.

[both gasp]

[Sajid screams]

Help!

[whimsical music playing]

[Slimer] Mmm! [slurping]

Just cool your ecto, Slimer. You'll get some in a second.

[whines]

Easy on the slobber, dude. You're losing muscle mass.

[yelps]

Now, I know this isn't exactly what you guys had in mind.

Ah!

What is this?

Mmm! Hm?

Tofu, soy beans, and steamed vegetable curd.

[groans]

What happen to my spare ribs? My Mongolian beef?

I saw this documentary

on how global warming is caused by deforestation for cattle grazing.

Do you realize that by cutting out meat just three times a week, we can--

Real noble, Kylie.

But I didn't claw my way to the top of the food chain

just to eat like a rabbit.

[telephone clicks, then keypad beeps]

I'd like to order an extra-large pizza.

Yeah. Extra heavy on the pepperoni, sausage, Canadian bacon

-and a double helping of ground beef. -[whoops]

[alarm blaring]

[ominous music playing]

Sorry, folks, looks like we're working through lunch.

[sniffs, then retches]

[screaming]

[dramatic music playing]

[people screaming]

[proton packs energizing]

Oh, thank goodness you're here. The plants just went berserk.

And one of my students is still inside.

The professor says his student's on the third floor.

Hey! Let go.

-Hey. -Quit whining. I didn't hit you, did I?

-[PKE meter beeping] - I got something here.

[proton packs energizing]

Take it easy.

[PKE meter beeping]

-There's someone inside this thing. -[breathing raggedly]

I think he's alive.

[grunting]

Then let's blast him out and book.

No.

You wanna nuke the guy inside?

[grunts] Then we take the whole pod.

-[gasps] Look out! -[roars]

[ominous music playing]

I saw a face in that thing, man. Right before I roasted it.

What kind of face?

Real ugly. Like, Marilyn Manson ugly.

The building's going.

[all grunting]

Quick, fire escape.

[tense music playing]

The plants have stopped growing.

That's good, right?

[Garrett] On the whole I'd say, yeah.

If they weren't the only things holding up the building.

Hey, guys, get out of there, now!

[yells]

[yells]

[all yelling]

[all grunt]

You know, I think there's something to this vegetarian stuff.

I say, "Eat the plants before they eat us."

[Garrett] And once the building collapsed, there was no residual P.K.E. anywhere.

-So the ghost is toast. Case closed. -[heartbeat thumping]

[Egon] Not quite.

Whatever Ecto-entity was controlling those plants is still active in this pod.

Isn't there any way to get that poor guy out of there?

All readings indicate the victim is symbiotically connected to the pod.

It may be the only thing keeping him alive.

Well, I've got something to slow down those plants.

It shoots subzero liquid oxygen.

-Ooh. Frozen vegetables. -You mind not shoving that in my face?

Hey!

Sorry, but my pizza somehow disappeared.

Don't look at me.

-[humming] -[whimsical music playing]

Perhaps, if we could identify the demon image you saw on the plant.

I don't know, it went by in like a split second.

[heartbeat thumping]

Then the only other thing we have to go on

is this sample you recovered.

I've identified it as Unsidiom Demonium.

And?

And it's a rare hybrid found only in the Amazon basin.

The rainforest.

Maybe all this plant activity

is nature's revenge for everything humanity has done to her.

Or maybe, the tree-huggers stirred up the veggies so much

that they've started hugging back.

What is it with you and plants?

-Why don't you ask the pod person? -[heartbeat thumping]

That's enough.

Garrett, why don't you help Roland rig up a life support system

to circumvent the pod.

Kylie, if you'd like to research

South American horticulturally-based demons.

Fine.

Fine.

If we know what it wants,

we may be able to anticipate its next move.

[ominous music playing]

Who's there?

[yelling and grunting]

[eerie music playing]

[ringing]

[wheezing] Help. The plants, they've got me.

You're funny, Garrett.

[Garrett] Excuse me?

-That wasn't you? -Apparently not.

Oh, no, I just hung up on somebody who needed us.

What am I gonna do?

You know, this kind of thing might not happen

if you got a little more protein in your diet.

This isn't a joke, Garrett.

Don't worry, we could still trace it.

All we have to do is cross-reference caller ID...

[beeps]

...with this online reverse phone directory,

and voila.

Brenner?

[Eduardo] Wasn't that the dude from the university?

You think, our demon has something against the school?

Maybe the cafeteria should reconsider its all-you-can-eat salad bar policy.

Okay, my research uncovered only one Amazon-based legend

involving plant life.

It's a spirit named Kuja, benevolent protector of the rainforest.

For a benevolent spirit, he's got one heck of an attitude problem.

Wouldn't you, if you woke up 10,000 miles from home?

[yawns] Yeah, I hate it when that happens.

Kuja must think he's still in the Amazon.

He's only trying to restore the jungle.

We have to communicate with him.

Help him get back to the rainforest.

You wanna help E.T. phone home? Fine.

Me? I'm stir-frying some veggies.

Hm.

[tense music playing]

[siren wails]

[engine stops]

[yawns]

[Roland] I'd say we found our Kuja.

Either that or somebody spilled a whole mess of WonderGro.

[whirring]

[yawns]

We keeping you up?

-[metal screeches] -[all yell]

[Roland] Come on.

-[beeping] -[Roland yells]

[tense music playing]

[Kylie and Eduardo scream]

Wait, stop.

Afraid I'll hurt your demon buddy?

You wanna sever the cable?

Well, I'm not waiting around to be plant food.

[grunting]

[all gasp]

-Somebody call a gardener? -[proton pack energizes]

No. You will only agitate Kuja.

Look, I got to go with Garrett on this one, Ky.

Our first priority is Professor Brenner.

[Eduardo] That's it. That's the face.

[roars]

Don't shoot!

We don't wanna hurt you.

We just wanna send you back home.

[tense music playing]

[roaring]

I don't think he's buying it. Hose him.

[dramatic music playing]

-[PKE meter beeping] -[ominous music playing]

The face is gone.

I think I found the prof.

So where did the big ugly go to?

[beeping]

[Kylie] There he is.

[Garrett] Kylie, don't.

[grunts]

No! We're only trying to help.

Don't shoot.

[yells]

Huh?

[grunting]

[yells]

Got you.

[sirens wailing]

[gasping]

I could have been street pizza.

Not while I'm around.

[Roland] Guys...

A little help with the professor?

[Roland and Eduardo grunting]

[siren wails]

We've got to get him back to the fire house, stat.

[eerie music playing]

You guys go ahead.

I saw Kuja's face reappear on a seed

just before it fluttered down into Central Park.

If we can find it before it takes root,

we can freeze it into dormancy and trap Kuja inside the seed.

Then we can send him back to the Amazon where he belongs.

That seed could be anywhere.

It will be like looking for a needle in a haystack.

I don't care.

What about you, Eduardo?

[snoring]

[sighs] I'll go with her.

Someone's gotta keep her out of trouble.

[ominous music playing]

Kuja is a necessary part of the eco balance of the rain forest.

All you can think of is destroying things.

I'd say, Kuja's got that covered.

I just wanna give your little pal a good home,

in the containment unit.

[groans]

No, the nose was pointier.

Not that pointy. And the chin was flatter.

With ridges over the eyes.

No, no, no. More Deco, less Bauhaus.

I'm taking an architecture class.

That's it. That's the face we saw.

[beeping]

Kuja, right?

[beeping]

Shanbahac?

Not good.

I hate it when he says that.

Shanbahac's what you'd call "an eradicator."

He wiped out an entire South American civilization,

then went dormant for 2000 years.

Kylie's in the park right now trying to make him go dormant again.

That would be very bad.

Oh, I hate it even more when he says that.

If the Ecto source goes dormant, the effects could last for 2000 years.

Then the people in the pods...

-Will never get out. -[heartbeat thumping]

[ominous music playing]

The only way to stop Shanbahac is to remove the demon from the seed.

First we got to stop Kylie from turning him into a popsicle.

[eerie music playing]

[beeping]

Welcome to P.K.E. central.

Kuja.

Don't be afraid.

My name is Kylie and I'm here to help you.

[roars]

You aren't where you think you are.

I can get you back home but you have to trust me.

I'm unarmed.

[growls]

[Garrett] Kylie!

[roars]

Run!

Garrett, behind you!

-[dramatic music playing] -[gasps, then yells]

[Kylie] Garrett!

[gasps]

No!

[dramatic music continues]

[yells]

[yells]

[dramatic music playing]

Don't hurt him. He didn't know what he was doing.

[grunts]

All right. So you wanna do this the hard way?

I'm just gonna put you to sleep for a while.

This is for your own good.

Kylie, no!

[both grunt]

[grunts] Get off of me!

That wasn't Kuja.

It's a demon named Shanbahac, it exterminates people.

And if you freeze it, it will stay dormant for 2000 years and so do its victims.

Oh, no. Garrett.

Oh, man. Garrett got cabbage-patched.

Somehow, we have to force the demon out of the seed pod.

[dramatic music playing]

[roaring]

That's one tough peach pit.

If the proton stream won't force him out, what will?

We have to make him wanna come out.

By making the seed an unsuitable host.

-I got an idea. -Is it a good one?

[suspenseful music playing]

[clicks]

I'm almost out. Where is he?

Maybe, we should get Garrett out of here first.

Don't wanna come out, Shanbahac?

How about I choke you out?

You bonehead, that's carbon dioxide.

So?

What do you think plants breathe?

You're just feeding him.

Uh... anybody got a Plan B?

How about-- Run!

[dramatic music playing]

[panting]

[roaring]

[roaring continues]

I was only trying to smother it.

That would take oxygen.

And I know just where to find it.

[roaring]

[dramatic music playing]

Roland, can you reset this thing

to shoot the oxygen at room temperature?

No sweat.

Hey, you wanna hurry it up?

We got fresh produce with an attitude here.

Roland!

-[Roland yells] -[Shanbahac roars]

[Roland grunts]

All right, Shanbahac. Time to come out and fight like a ghost.

-[dramatic music playing] -[roaring]

[shrieks]

[music fades]

[heartbeats thumping]

-[thumping fades] -[groaning]

[eerie music playing]

I just had the strangest nightmare about...

horticulture.

-[whimsical music playing] -[Slimer whooping]

Nervous about Garrett making lunch?

I'll bet he roasted a whole pig in my honor.

[whoops]

Oh...

Hm!

Hm.

I guess you learned something

from your brief stint at the other end of the food chain.

Sure did.

Revenge is a dish best served with ranch dressing and croutons.

[haunting music playing]
