Original subtitles

I go into first bedroom on the right for you.

You tell me to haunt that goof.

Get your goof room straight.

Well, you'll have to try again.

Today at that brat's school.

I need to get that ring off his finger. Halloween is coming.

My army of ghosts awaits my command to arise

and take over the bodies of the living.

There's no time to lose.

No, it's time to snooze.

I always thought dying would make things easier.

But that's not how it works.

So why, then, almost four centuries after it was hypothesized,

is Newton's law of gravity disproven?

Miss Cahill.

Because Newton's theory only applied to the

gravitational force field up to 97,000 feet.

Past that point, when gravity is incrementally disbursed,

the old law doesn't stand up.

Correct.

And who can tell me why that's important to NASA?

Mr. Doyle.

Because as gravity decreases, inertia increases,

affecting weight disbursement, fuel efficiency and speed

and thrust guidelines.

Excellent. Both of you should put in for extra credit.

Now moving on to water oxidation as energy...

Hey, maybe since the midterm assignment is a team

we could partner up?

I'd be extremely okay with that.

Is present, there will be an electrical spark that happens.

Hydrogen will appear at the...

Ah! And oxygen will...

This is the right goof.

Okay, I go now.

Then the electrode will begin to spark and cause a chemical reaction...

Mr. Doyle!

What are you doing?

Mr. Doyle, that will be quite enough.

Mr. Doyle!

Now I use water oxidation as energy.

Excuse you.

Mr. Doyle, what do you think you're doing?

That is a great abuse of school property.

Mr. Doyle, please, just stop...

Yea-haw.!

Get down from there.

Mr. Willis, Mr. Freeman, please, restrain Mr. Doyle immediately.

Excuse you!

Did you not take your medication today?

Oh, and now you're asleep, that's great.

Max, are you okay?

I don't know what that little stunt was supposed to prove,

but you can get straight to the Principal's office

where I'm going to recommend detention for a month.

But I don't even know what I did.

Ms. Cahill, get me a towel.

Oh, man, this is bad.

Really bad.

Max, we went looking for you in class.

Look, you guys, I'm in big trouble.

Phears sent this spirit or ghost

or whatever it is to possess me.

And it makes me act all crazy and gets me in trouble.

I have no control over it.

You mean it's like in you right now'?

I guess.

Lemme check it out. Yeah.

Whoa!

Uh, yep, there is someone inside you.

It's a woman.

And she's sleeping.

Great.

Maybe she's sleeping now,

but when she wakes up, I go berserk and there's nothing I can do about it.

This is gonna get me expelled.

Worse, it's gonna make me look crazy in front of Cammy.

Maybe Phears put her into you to get to us.

How does that work?

How do I know?

But if this keeps up...

Sit down.

So, Mr. Doyle,

you're aware that your actions today not only disrupted class,

but also caused considerable monetary damage to this school.

Yes, ma'am.

And you do understand that you'll have to pay the school back

with your own time and money.

Tell her it wasn't your fault.

I'm not doing that.

What do you mean you're not doing it?

You'll do what you're told.

Man, she's got bad breath.

Now, Mr. Doyle.

If it weren't for that fact that you have a high GPA,

and your mother is head of the PTA and a good friend of mine,

I'd put you on permanent suspension.

As it is, I'll have to think of a proper punishment.

Hmm.

What was that?

I didn't do anything.

I'm just sitting here.

So you think school is just one big play yard, huh'?

You wanna play? Oh, you're gonna play.

Max, how long are you gonna be doing this?

We need to get back to my father's journal.

Can't you tell that coach lady you have more important things to be doing?

Oh. Sure, Tara.

I'll just tell her that I don't have time for her punishment.

I'm sure she won't give me more laps or push-ups

or mountain climbers or anything.

Okay, great.

I guess sarcasm doesn't exist in the afterlife.

You guys have done nothing but get me in trouble.

Could you just go away?

Please, leave me alone.

Hey, Max, how are you?

Pretty crazy in science class, huh?

Yeah. Don't know what got into me.

No, it was interesting.

Interesting'? That's a good thing, right'?

So you play soccer now?

Yeah, just gettin' some laps in.

Keeping things interesting.

Doyle!

Doyle, nobody told you you could slack off.

When you're on this field, your butt is mine. Let's go.

Can't I just... Can't I just... Take a two minute break?

The next time you decide to goof off in class

or attack the Principal or squash me like a bug,

it's gonna get even worse.

Carlyle!

Stand in front of him and block the pass. Wake up!

All right, now get in there and play some soccer.

Soccer? I am loving soccer.

You're a little freak, is what you are.

Coach Freeley, is that Max out there? Yeah.

Did you know about this?

No.

Whoa!

Max!

Okay, I'll sleep now.

- What happened? - Here.

Hey, let's get him. Help him up.

Get some help over here. Pick him up.

Grab him tight. Get him, all right.

Yeah, stand up. Come here.

Are you all right?

Max. Max. Why didn't you tell me you were a soccer star?

Huh?

It's you, Max.

You can lead us to victory in tomorrow's championship game.

You can finally bring me... Us...

Can bring us that city-wide championship trophy.

Max, you're my secret weapon.

Well, okay, I guess.

Okay, you guess.

Oh, my plum.

I just wanna pinch your cheeks but you're so sweaty.

The rest of you, calisthenics!

Hey, Max, you dropped this.

My ring. Oh, thank God you found it or there would have been serious trouble.

So, wow... I mean, that was really something. I'm kind of surprised.

Not as much as I am.

Remember when you asked me out on Halloween?

Well, I was thinking maybe tonight you could

meet me at the courthouse at 8:00.

For the big grand opening.

I could show you around and give you a private tour. Cool?

Cooler than cool.

Okay.

Halloween.

All Hallows' Eve.

Tonight, my powers finally return to me,

and I'll be stronger than ever.

Soon, in just a matter of a few short hours,

I will be free

to unleash my undead army from their terrible prison.

And nothing will stop me

from ruling everything on Earth.

Dead or alive.

Amateurs.

- Thank you. - Happy Halloween.

Happy Halloween.

Max, there you are.

Finally, I really need you on door duty. Where've you been?

I was just playing soccer after school.

Soccer?

Son, considering how much trouble you're in,

don't lie to me about suddenly liking sports, okay?

Don't get my hopes up.

But I was. Oh, here they come.

Would you get upstairs, get in costume okay?

Come down and work the door? Please.

I love you, Dad. Thank you!

Trick or treat? Trick or treat?

Max, we got some exciting news for you.

Wow.

This is turning out to be the best day ever.

What've you got? We took a look at that video you shot

of Colin's freak-out this morning. Let me show you.

Watch.

Look at this guy.

All right, stop it.

All right, play that back. Okay, listen.

Emma“

Twitchel? Yes.

We think that's her name and we think we can talk her out of you.

Seriously? Yeah.

Oh, that would be awesome. I was totally worried

that she would ruin my date with Cammy tonight.

Date with Cammy.

Tara, relax.

Look, we talked about this.

Emma will most likely respond to a female voice.

You have to do this. Max, lay down.

Okay.

Okay,

Ready? Yeah.

Emma, Emma.

Wake up, Emma.

Emma, wake up.

Come on, Emma.

Okay, it's okay.

Stay with us, Max.

Emma, listen to me.

We almost got it.

You can do it, Emma, come on.

Come on, Emma, wake up.

Where am I?

Why am I not in goof boy?

Excuse me?

Because we set you free.

And that made you young again.

And we're setting Max free too.

Max is done with ghosts.

We're all gonna leave him alone now.

Yeah, Max.

We know you're sick of us, so... We're gonna go away,

forever.

What? Nicky, Tara...

Nicky? Tara?

I know these names.

I hear goof boy talk about you.

He says he will always help you, because you are his friends.

No matter what.

You said that? Of course.

It might get frustrating at times,

but I'll never give up on you guys.

You're my friends.

Oh, Max, thank you.

Aw, Max.

Okay. Okay, Nicky.

That's what I'm talking about.

You are good, goof boy.

Not evil.

Evil?

Why would you say that? Yeah.

Phears.

Phears tells me that goof...

I mean... That Max

was keeping me from moving on to see my loved ones.

Max, I'm so sorry, I...

I should not have trusted Phears.

He is a most wicked ghoul.

Yeah. I won't argue with you on that one.

Max!

For the love of Pete, would you suit up and get downstairs

and work the door?

Those kids, they're like a marauding horde of candy-crazed goons.

They're relentless.

He has berserker in him too?

He was born that way.

So your family was Russian circus acrobats?

Oh, yes. They were the most renowned performers in all of the land.

We were on a tour of America for our first time,

and our bus crashed outside the town, many years ago.

We were all buried here.

Trick or treat?

Whoa! Cool trick.

How did you do that?

Oh, a good magician never tells.

Thank you. Happy Halloween.

Now, because of Phears' dark magic, I cannot be with my family.

Just like us.

No.

No, you are not like me.

But we can't see our family because of Phears either.

No, when I say that you are not like me,

it's because you are not dead.

But we're ghosts.

Yeah.

Yeah. Not real ones.

Phears made you like this.

And your parents too.

You're ghosts, but not dead.

Prisoners.

Your parents are still alive.

Nicky.

Wait, if our parents are prisoners, do you know where they are?

No, only Phears knows this.

I do not know. I can only feel that they are alive, like I feel you,

but I do not know where they are.

Then do you know why Phears wants Nicky and Tara so badly?

Because they are Rolands, Roland blood.

He must capture all the Rolands

and find the antidote your father created

before he can move forward with his plan

and unleash his undead army into living bodies.

Maybe you can find them. Warn them.

Tell them we're okay, where we are...

How we love them. Please.

I would love to, but I do not know how.

I think I found a spell that could help.

Right there.

What will it do? Well, it says,

we have to go to the cemetery and return you to your grave

and say this spell.

Well, we must go tonight.

Go where?

To the cemetery. To the cemetery.

Oh, no, no, this is a really bad idea.

It's Halloween and this is the night where Phears will be at his strongest.

Max, all magic is at its strongest tonight, even yours.

Yes.

And if we go tonight maybe I can be with my family again.

Please Max, come on. We have to help her.

And if we have another ghost by our side,

we can probably find Mom and Dad quicker.

Come on, man. You have to do it.

Remember what you said about friends.

No matter what...

Trick or treat?

Urn...

Just help yourself to the candy.

I'm still grounded, but let me see what I can do.

Ugh.

Colin's back up to his cat tricks again. Great.

Hey, hey, hey, what're you doing in here?

No one is manning the candy bowl. We're gonna get tricked.

Mom, you look great.

Flattery will get you nowhere.

But thanks.

Mauler.

What did you call me?

Mauler.

Mauler?

I like it.

But flattery will get you nowhere.

I'm telling you, that cat... Oh, no.

What's up? Wow! Mom, you look amazing. What's up, Dad?

Max, shouldn't you be getting to that special soccer practice

that Coach Freeley wants you at?

What? What're you talking about? He's not part of a team.

Well, he is now.

Max kicked butt at practice today.

He's their star player.

Freeley was freaking out. And get this.

Tomorrow, he's starting at the game against Dylan High.

So, he's got to get going.

Whoa, whoa, whoa. Wait a minute!

My son is a starter in the city finals?

It gets even better. Coach Freeley called him their secret weapon.

When were you planning on telling us this?

Well,

I was gonna surprise you.

Well, we're surprised.

Wow, my son's a starter. I told you you could do it.

Didn't I say he could do it, honey? Of course, dear.

But we should get going, I mean, we don't wanna be late

and be kicked off the team, right?

Oh, no. Right, right, right. No.

No son of mine is ever gonna be late for practice.

Go, fight. Go.

No, wait.

What time is the game?

Two o'clock. Two o'clock?

Yep. Two o'clock.

Two o'clock. Two o'clock. Two o'clock.

I'm gonna call Eddie, I'm gonna cancel that golf game,

and I am gonna be there.

Yeah, you are. I better call Joan.

Yeah. Go call Eddie.

Look, Mom and Dad told me about how I freaked out this morning.

But you helped me, calmed me down

and kept me from hurting myself.

I don't even know what happened, but you helped me, so,

thank you.

I owe you one.

Do you know what happened to me?

You were possessed by a berserker ghoul.

Right, I said I owe you one.

That doesn't mean I have to believe your stories

about ghosts and magic. You know I don't believe that stuff.

Well, maybe someday you will.

Dude, just get out of here. Go do your nerd stuff.

Dad, I need the phone.

Come on, my grave, further ahead.

Okay, now what do we do?

Okay, Emma must return to her grave

and Max will say his chant while holding the ring.

That should break the spell and you can be dead again.

Okay, great, then all I have to do is...

My ring!

I don't have it.

I took it off and stuck it in my pocket after soccer practice.

You mean you came out here, on Halloween,

with no protection from Phears?

Don't worry. I'll run back and get it right now.

Did I just hear someone say

that they forgot to bring the ring to our little party?

How careless.

Looks like you all fell for my little plan.

Even you, Emma. You look lovely, by the way.

You see, I knew you would be good to get the ring off his finger

but how would I capture all of them together?

Easy, you tell them the story about your family.

How you want so badly to be reunited,

just like Tara and Nicky want to be

with their parents, and presto!

You all end up back at your graveside.

You see, I didn't just pick you by accident.

I knew nothing of this plan, little ones.

I swear it.

Don't worry, Emma. We believe you.

Phears just used you.

Oh. Oh, yes. Did I use you? I'm so sorry.

Finally, the end of the Roland brats and Max Doyle.

This is gonna be fun.

No, leave Max out of it.

He didn't do anything to you and he has nothing to do with our parents.

On the contrary,

he's had plenty to do with disrupting my plans.

And now all of you are going to pay for it.

Max!

Tara, run. Come on.

Not so fast, tough guy.

And as for you, missy...

Max, run.

Get the ring.

Yes, Max. I will help you.

Oh, you're not going anywhere.

Ah, yes, but of course.

When in need, ask your friends for help.

Catch that boy and destroy him.

Wow! Cool costume.

I'm totally getting one of those next year.

Ghouls!

Look out.

Move.

Ghoul chase!

Hey, bro. What's up'?

Max?

My bro. My bro right there.

Is that Max?

Max, this is awesome.

How are you doing all this?

Well, my minor in college

is gonna be in makeup and special effects.

Good. That's good.

You fight like a ghoul.

Max!

How cool was that?

Max.

Max.

There are too many people here.

These ghouls will destroy them all.

I'm sleepy-

No, no, don't fall asleep now. I need you.

Yeah, you nerds go all out for Halloween.

What's up?

Those aren't nerds and they're not going anywhere,

except after me.

Dude, not cool.

Dude!

Not dudes. Ghouls.

Oh, you wanna play, huh?

Max, follow me.

- Yeah. - Yeah, yeah.

Do you believe me about ghouls now?

Yeah, I'm getting there.

Stop it. It's nothing.

What's up?

Ah!

Come to papa.

Mauler, of course.

Bed.

Oh.

Here, kitty, kitty.

What? Cat got your tongue?

Emma. Emma, Emma, you awake?

Got any ideas what to do with this cat?

Just catch him, Max. I'm too sleepy.

Swell.

Okay, Mauler. Come on, boy.

Take it easy.

Okay, Max.

I will help you.

Okay, Mauler. Maybe this will get you.

Check this out.

Oh, man! I hope we're not too late.

Me too. 'Cause I must go sleep now.

No, I still need your help.

Use the ring, Max.

And mangy cat.

That is all you need.

Good night.

Tara! Nicky!

Where are you guys?

Max!

Over here. Phears locked us in this creepy, old crypt with his dark magic.

Yeah, well, we'll see about that.

From the light of Earth, the dark descends.

Should they return? That all depends.

When hands point up to moonlit skies, on ten, three, one

the darkness dies.

Not the funnel!

Oh! That bratty kid and his ring again!

Enough!

Tough luck, you little dweeb.

If I get dragged into that funnel, she goes with me

and you'll never see her again.

Now cough up that ring.

Yeah, well, let's see who else gets dragged into this.

One second.

Not Mauler, my most beautiful wicked cat!

Bye, Mauler. Too bad no one will ever see you again.

Don't hurt him.

Then let Tara go.

You promise not to destroy him if I release her?

Don't listen to him, Max. Don't trust Phears. It's a trick.

I got a few of those up my sleeve myself.

Okay, I promise.

Now let her go.

What do we do now?

Now we let the cat out of the bag.

He's got Mauler.

My beautiful, evil kitty.

You tricked me, you two-faced brat!

No! Mauler, don't be afraid. Mauler, Daddy's coming. Be brave.

Be brave for Daddy! My God!

He would do anything for that cat.

Okay, come on Tara,

we promised to help Emma and help her get her back to her resting place.

Okay, you ready?

Emma?

Come on, Emma, wake up.

You can do it, Emma, can you hear me?

Oh!

Whoo! Emma?

Oh, thank you.

Thank you all so much.

You're very, very kind.

Now, I must go home.

Oh, Emma, if you see our parents, can you tell them that...

Well, I'm happy for her.

If she didn't have friends in Plover before,

she does now. Yeah.

Phears is gone for a while.

Yeah, now if I can just convince Cammy I'm not a total weirdo.

Well, you never know.

Stranger things have happened.

Yeah.

Let's go, Orange!

Let's go, Orange!

Don't let him have it.

Take the ball!

No! No! No!

What are you, asleep?

No, no, no, no, no, no, no!

Come on, come on.

All right, Freeley. Three minutes left. Tie game. You got any more substitutes,

put them in.

Thomas, you're out!

Max! Max! Max! Max! Max!

Max! Max! Max! Max! Max!

Max! Max!

Max! Max! Max!

Max! Max! Max! Max! Max!

Okay, Secret Weapon.

You're up.

Listen, it's all for you.

Okay? Take forward. Go.

Max!

Come on, hustle up.

Max. Come on.

Let's do it.

What's going on? Ready?

Come on. Where's right forward?

It's over here.

Good hustle.

You can do it! Here! You'll be fine.

Good.

All right. You got this, Max.

Go.

- Yes. - Back away, loser.

Max. What are you doing?

Dude, that way.

Max. I think this will work better.

All right.

- Oh! - Yeah!

Do you think that hurt his head?

Hurt his head? Mom?

Honey, come on. When you're making all-star plays like that,

you just lay it out there.

You don't worry about getting hurt.

Yeah! That's my boy!

Go Max! Go Max!

Oh, ref, come on!

Nicky!

Are you okay?

I'll be all right. What about Max? Are you sure?

Stay down, stay down. He's fine. He's over there.

What are you guys doing?

Max, you've got this!

Just believe in yourself.

Come on, Max, you can do it!

We got the cup! We got the cup!

Never had a doubt. Never had a doubt.

Good job.

I'm so proud of you!

Boom, huh!

So proud of you.

Nice game there, Beckham.

Thanks.

That was, I mean, crazy.

Thanks.

Look, about last night...

I really wish you would have stayed.

I just wanted to thank you for everything you did for the haunted house.

That was really cool.

But I guess, you were just

getting good and rested up for the game.

Yes. That's exactly what it was.

Well, the haunted house is still there.

I may not be as good with effects and stuff as you are,

but I can still give you a really cool exclusive tour.

Now?

As good a time as any.

Okay.

Hey-

Way to go, Bro.

What's up?

We should follow him. No.

Let him go.

Okay.

So, we totally blew away our whole fund-raising goal and I am

pretty sure it's because of the awesome show you and your friends put on.

So, thank you.

Oh. Yeah, my pleasure.

Are you okay? You seem nervous.

Oh.

You know, haunted house.

Scary stuff.

Something tells me you've seen scarier.

What tells you that?

I don't know, I mean, it's a feeling I have.

You seem mysterious.

But in a totally good way.

What would you say if I told you I was friends with two ghosts

that were trying to find their parents that were kidnapped by an evil spirit?

I'd say...

I... You better call me next time.

Hey, great game today, Max.

Thanks, Mrs. Hepplewhite.

So, how was it?

Boring, right?

Tara?

Hey, there he is.

Ha-ha!

Son, I can't tell you how proud I was of you today.

But I can show you.

Head upstairs to your room.

I got a little surprise waiting for you.

Mr. Secret Weapon.

Shall we go up?

Oh!

Computer's back. Sweet!

Now I can finally get back to researching our dad's journal.

We're closer than ever to finding our morn and dad.

But how will we know if

Emma was able to find them?

You gotta be patient, Tara.

I mean, there's no telling how vast

or complex the afterlife may be. It...

"Nicky. Tara.

"We cannot tell you how relieved we are

"to know that you're okay.

"Emma tells us that you're looking for us.

"And I know that we will all be together again soon.

"Don't ever lose hope.

"We'll get through this.

"We're closer than ever,

"Thanks to your friend Max.

"We love you more than anything.

"Mom and Dad."

Whoa!

Max.

Uh...

You ran so fast.

Why do I taste syrup?

I'm sorry.

That's a lot of syrup.

through any of that, Mom.

Sorry. No. That was great.

But that was great.

I was going with it.

This time I know his secret. It's that ring...

I can snatch the two Roland brats and we'll both be free.

Simple.

Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah.

I forgot my last line.

I don't believe you have one.

Well, that solves the problem.

Echo, take one.

Oh, I tore the other side.

Do we keep looking?

Right, Max!

I totally forgot my line, Max.

Oh, right, Max.

Like, how did he get in the dresser then?

Bye, Mauler. Too bad no one...

It's hard.

I wanna do it more.

Oh! Oh, hey!

Guys, it's just Charlie from next door.

Well, keep it away from me, because I'll be in hives for a week.

Come here, boy. Come here, Charlie.

Come here, Charlie.

What are you doing here?

You're supposed to be next...

All right. Come here.

Come here, Charlie.

Just pick him up.

Just pick him up. Is he good?

Yeah, yeah, just pick him up.

Come here, Charlie.

What are you doing here? You're supposed to be next door.

See, Dad.

I told you nerdy boy had a cat up here.

You're dead.

What? How do you wanna disappear?

Oh, we're disappearing.

Oh, sorry.

How do you wanna do it?

Um... High five.

I don't know. That's all we have. What do you want?
