[Eduardo] Good for you, Jackie Chan.

But what happens when those ghosts kick back?

[Garrett] Ed, Eddie, Eddie.

You know there's not a spook in the universe that I can't zap and trap.

[Kylie] Yeah, and there's not a dozen donuts in New York

that you can't devour in a quarter hour.

-[Eduardo] She's got you there. -[Garrett] You're both funny.

And that big, ugly ghoul, he's gonna get us. Look out!

[theme music playing]

[ominous music playing]

We're clear.

-[beeps] -[man grunts]

[beeps]

[sensors whirring]

Huh. I don't get it.

-The Geiger's picking up near zero. -Can't be.

All the geo studies

indicated huge deposits of uranium in this mountain.

Well...

Somebody must have screwed up.

[gasps]

Look at this.

Like the uranium's been eaten away.

[sensor clacking]

[beeping]

[lilting music playing]

All right, Janine. Enough already.

Isn't it time for you to go?

Egon, just a couple more things I need to show you.

I've premade all your meals so you won't go hungry while I'm away.

All you have to do is pop them in the microwave.

They're clearly labeled. Breakfast, lunch...

And dinner. Yes, I can read.

[gibbers]

Hit the road, Slimer.

[Slimer whines]

[car horn honking]

Oh, that must be my cab.

Yes, well, mustn't keep him waiting.

Okay, anything I might have forgotten to cover is on this list.

It'll tell you what bills to pay and when,

and where we keep the spare front door key.

Fine. Thank you.

We'll manage just fine. Enjoy your flight.

Oh, I feel like I'm forgetting something.

The phone bill!

It needs to be paid today.

I'll just drop it off at the phone company on my way.

I'll drop it off.

Now, don't forget. I's a final notice.

If it's not received by 3:00 pm, they're gonna shut off...

Goodbye, Janine.

Say hello to your sister Doris for me.

[sighs]

[ominous music playing]

Professor? It's Andrea.

You said we could talk about my term paper.

No, no, please, don't come in, Andrea.

I'm working with some dangerous isotopes.

[creature growls]

I asked you not to-- Oh!

What are you?

What do you want?

[grunts]

[creature roaring]

Get me the number of the Ghostbusters.

[lilting music playing]

Egon, where do you keep your computer backup tapes?

They should be right where they always are.

And that would be?

I'm, uh... not sure.

It's all written down on Janine's list,

which I seem to be having some trouble locating.

Man. You get the license plate of the tornado that hit this place?

She's only been gone a few days and already everything's falling apart.

Uh, Egon, she's only been gone since this morning.

[sighs]

-Hm... -[telephone ringing]

Now, where, uh... is that telephone?

Ghostbusters. Yes, Professor.

I see.

My crew is on their way.

-[ominous music playing] -[siren blaring]

[beeping]

I'm getting some really strange flux.

I've never seen a configuration like this.

The room has been exposed to radiation.

Meters might be giving a false read.

Are you absolutely sure what you saw was a ghost?

Yeah.

Maybe it was, like, some frat kids doing a hazing thing.

Oh, yes, of course.

I've seen numerous fraternity members eat radioactive isotopes,

and then pass through walls.

Huh.

Eh, it was a spook, all right.

Left a little ecto-goober behind.

Don't sweat it, man.

That spookatoola nabbed your stash?

He's as good as nailed and jailed.

Hm.

[scoffs] We're on the case.

You'll be out of here in a few days,

back on the slopes before you know it.

[muffled yell]

-[creature growls] -[muffled yelling]

[speaking indistinctly]

I know it's frustrating, but you have to be patient.

[ominous music playing]

[music turns dramatic]

Doesn't look like any ectoplasm I've ever seen.

[pensive music playing]

Nor I.

We've uncovered a new mutant strain

with a cellular composition similar to that of uranium.

So this ghost not only feeds on radioactive isotopes,

it's radioactive itself?

Apparently, yes.

Any ideas where this spook came from?

[Kylie] Utah.

According to a Salt Lake City newspaper,

last week, some miners excavating a supposedly huge uranium deposit

got a big surprise.

Not only was all the uranium gone,

but they claimed to have encountered a bizarre apparition.

A mountain spirit.

Some aboriginal peoples of Western North America

believed in ethereal entities

living among the mesas in volcanic rock formations.

Perhaps one of these spirits became trapped inside a mountain,

near the uranium deposit.

And the miners accidentally released it when they blew up the mountain.

Precisely.

But while it was still trapped,

it adapted to its surroundings,

and developed an appetite for uranium.

-A spook with a sweet tooth for nukes. -[music turns ominous]

So it glows in the dark? Big deal.

It'll be easier to trap.

I'm afraid you don't understand.

If the entity ingests enough isotopes,

it could become toxically radioactive,

its emanation so lethal,

it could destroy a major population center.

Nuclear winter.

Yes.

I know the Ghostbusters' old radioactive hazard suits

are inside here somewhere.

[Eduardo] Man, I hate this.

This suit's way hot.

And it's making my legs all itchy.

[groans]

What makes you think this spook's gonna show anyhow?

According to my Nexis search, this research facility

is the second largest storehouse of isotopes in the Northeast.

Where's the largest?

The naval base in Norfolk, Virginia,

where they outfit the nuclear powered subs.

But common sense indicates that the entity

won't travel that far if it doesn't have to.

Oh, yeah. Ghosts are filled with common sense.

-[PKE meter beeping] -More than some people.

-Got something. -[beeping]

[ominous music playing]

[proton pack energizing]

[beast growling]

Okay, Sparky, the snack bar's officially closed.

[roars]

He's eating the proton beams!

[roars]

And getting bigger! Hold your fire.

[tense music playing]

[yelling]

[yelling]

[tense music playing]

Hey, man, you don't wanna eat us.

We're not radioactive.

[Roland] That's it!

It wants our Proton Packs.

They've got nuclear cores.

Hey, I'm a giving person.

[growling]

Move!

[all yell]

[groans]

How do we defeat a ghost that feeds on protons?

[pensive music playing]

You alter the protons.

I was gonna say that.

I was.

The only way to counteract this entity

is to reconfigure the beams

so that they fire hybrid, inert isotopes.

Exactly! Hybrid, insert isopropes.

[music stops]

-[pensive music resumes] -The trick is to get the inert isotopes

to bond with the free-floating electrons

in the radioactive isotopes the creature is imbued with.

Thereby making those active isotopes inert as well.

Don't even...

So, what say we whip up a batch of these hybrid inert isotopes?

I'm afraid it's not that simple.

The exact formula's only known to a handful of scientists.

In order to replicate it,

I'll have to access their research through the Internet.

So how is the research download going?

It's not.

I can't seem to access my modem.

[beeping]

That's because the phone lines are dead.

This is not good.

[scoffs] You're telling me.

I need a pizza.

I think I found the problem.

You didn't pay the phone bill.

-Hm. -[ominous music playing]

[PKE meter beeping]

What do you got?

[snoring]

-Hey. -[yelps]

Oh, hey, I got a reading.

There it is!

[growling]

What do we do now?

Something you're really good at. Nothing.

Our job is to keep track of its movements until Egon perfects the inert isotope ray.

[rings]

Hello?

Okay, I've re-routed the phone line

from the corner phone booth to the firehouse.

You should be able to get online now.

[beeping]

Excellent work, Roland.

We're back in business.

Good. Because Kylie just radioed in

and said our day glow friend is heading for the boonies of Long Island.

Long Island? What could possibly--?

Of course!

The South Shore Nuclear Power Plant.

If the creature is able to nourish at the plant,

it could become too powerful to stop.

Radio Kylie. Tell her Roland and me are in the Mustang and on our way.

But, I haven't synthesized the isotope yet.

[dramatic music playing]

Looks like we're too late.

[clamoring]

[alarm blaring]

So where's those isotopes we blast the thing with?

Actually, uh...

We don't have them.

What?

Egon didn't pay the phone bill.

[tense, pensive music playing]

Huh?

So you're telling me we got no weapons to fight this thing with?

We've got our brains.

In your case, we've got no weapons.

That way.

[ominous music playing]

It's still circling.

Still doesn't realize that the core is in the center of the plant.

You guys hold him back any way you can.

I've got an idea.

Great. The one with the idea leaves.

Come on. We can cut it off.

[dramatic music playing]

[roars]

There's our boy.

Girl... Whatever!

Okay, now what?

[Kylie] We'll hose it down.

-[squeaking] -[Garrett and Eduardo grunt]

Anytime now, guys.

It won't budge, man.

It's rusted shut.

[gasps]

[roars]

-[all yelling] -[roaring]

-[roaring] -[suspenseful music playing]

[roars]

[alarm blaring]

[gasping]

What's happening to the plant?

It's being attacked by a class 4 ethereal entity,

with an appetite for radioactive isotopes.

What?

Does the plant have some way to isolate the core?

Those controls over there.

In case of an accident, they seal everything off.

Garrett, how's it going down there?

Great. All we need is a really big razor,

we could give him one heck of a shave.

[roaring]

What?

-[creature roaring] -[grunts]

[both grunt]

We can't hold him off any longer.

He's headed for the core.

Good, let him go.

Are you out of your mind?

We were trying to keep him away from the core.

Trust me!

-[suspenseful music playing] -[growling]

[gasps]

Would you kindly explain what you think you're doing?

The plant is equipped to contain a nuclear accident.

We're gonna make that accident happen.

A controlled meltdown.

[Roland] Right.

Soon as he reaches ground zero,

we crank it to maximum Fahrenheit.

Hot enough to fuse the creature to the core and destroy him.

-You sure that's gonna work? -Theoretically.

Now!

[dramatic music playing]

[core powering up]

[roaring]

-You did it, man! -Fried that sucker!

[Kylie] I hate to break up this little love fest.

But, uh...

[beeping]

[dramatic music playing]

[beeping]

We've got to get out of here.

[alarm blaring]

[all yelling]

What did you do, man?

I knew the creature would either fuse with the core or...

-[explosion] -[all yell]

[roaring]

Or that.

Hey, cool, it's not after us.

It's heading someplace else.

Norfolk, Virginia.

Remember? It's the largest store house of isotopes on the East Coast.

Then it's got to pass through New York City.

Again.

Yeah, but it's different now.

It's become toxically radioactive.

Millions of lives are in danger.

[ominous music playing]

Okay. Time to put Plan B into operation.

You got one?

Nope. Kylie?

No.

But I'm hoping he does.

[music turn dramatic]

-[music stops] -That's 43.85.

Uh...

It seems that in my haste, I forgot to bring any cash with me.

What do you think I'm running here?

-This is a cash business. -[creature roaring]

[dramatic music playing]

Why is it coming back this way?

I thought you said it was going to Virginia?

It's being drawn by the Proton Packs.

Each of these cartridges is filled with inert isotopes.

Once fired at the ghost,

they should completely neutralize its radioactive content.

Um...

It's gonna work, right?

Absolutely.

Well, theoretically.

We couldn't make things any worse.

Well, actually, we could.

If the isotopes become unstable,

they could set off a chain reaction

that would detonate with the ferocity of a 20 megaton hydrogen bomb.

Hey, you can't make an omelet without cracking a few eggs, right?

[proton pack energizes]

Let's do it.

[roaring]

Hey, man, he's eating the beams again!

I think it's gonna blow!

[all yell]

-[coughing] -[Kylie groans]

[groaning]

If that cloud is radioactive,

we're dead.

[Egon] It's not.

And we're not.

The isotopes have been rendered totally inert.

[hopeful music playing]

Janine? Well, you're not due back until Monday.

I tried calling but the phones weren't working.

Well, as you can see there was no need to be.

The phones are up and running.

Everything is neat and orderly.

-Slimer and I run a pretty tight ship. -[whimsical music playing]

No! Mm-mm!

Well, I must say,

I never expected you to get along so well without me.

-[gasps] Uh... -[gibbering]

Janine, I wouldn't...

[yells]
