Ghost: no luck.
He's not upstairs.

Did you check
the basement?

Second ghost, loudly:
he's only been--

Shh!

[Softly]
he's only been dead
for hours.

He couldn't
have gotten too far.

Check the living room again.
I'll try the attic.

Somebody's coming.
We've gotta get
out of here.

Woman:
he's right down there.

I just came by to help
him carve some pumpkins
for halloween...

When I found him.

Turn it off!
Turn it off!

Relax, gramps.
That was our
best one yet.

Well, well, nobody's looking
to buy a pumpkin smasher.

It's a pumpkin carver
they want.

It'll revolutionize
halloween.

How about inventing
a rubber mask

That doesn't make
your face sweat?

Now, that ought to do it.

This time, it's gonna work.

History
is about to be made.

Claire,
are you getting this?

Uh-huh, but hurry up.
My arm is getting tired.

All right, ian,
let her go.

It's working.
It really works.
Way to go, gramps.

Grandpa: step one complete!

Step... !

Disembowelment!

Maybe we should
work on the names
of your steps.

Now let her down, now.

That's it!

Way down!

Lower!

There you go.
That's it.

Now, easy does it.

Claire: aah!

Grandpa: turn it off!
Turn it off!

Whoa! Whoa! Turn it off!

Turn it--

Ha ha ha!

Yeah, very funny.

Grandpa: ha ha ha!

What do you think
we should call step ?

Ha ha ha ha ha ha.

Ian: let's call it
claire gets a pumpkin hat.

Grandpa: ha ha! Good idea!
Get another pumpkin!

Ha ha ha ha!

Guys, maybe
this isn't the most
appropriate time

To be watching this.

What's the point
of a memorial

If you aren't
supposed to remember?

Go and make some
meaningless small talk

With your
grandfather's friends.

Please.

Nice to see you
laughing, dad.

Didn't know
you had it in you.

[Sobbing]

Oh, such a brave
little girl.

You're holding up
so well.

I'm a trooper.

I swear, somebody dies
and suddenly

The whole world is
invading your personal space.

Tell me about it.

Oh, you must be
frank's grandson.

Let me
give you a hug.

[Sobbing]

[Thump]

[Thump]

Can I help you?

No, no,
I was just, um...

Frank
had some books.

Claire, right?

I'm
warner macdonald.

Your grandfather
and I were
great friends.

Hmm. He never
mentioned you.

Yeah, well, you were
usually only in
our little hamlet

For a couple of weeks
during the summer,

But since
you're gonna be around

A little longer
this time,

You have to come
to our big halloween
festival this weekend.

I'm not really
in a festival kind of mood.

Yeah. Well,
I didn't mean, um--

Everything all right?

Richard.

It's wonderful
to have you back
here, richard.

Well,
not wonderful under
the circumstances.

Well,
I better be going.

Excuse me.

What kind of freak
brings a flyer
to a funeral?

That's old warner
for you.

He and your grandfather
have hated each other
since grade school.

Something about
a vicious game of
red rover, red rover.

Man: say hi to
your family for me.

Dad: I will, you too,
all right?

Drive safe.

Woman: richard,
sorry to hear
about your father.

What are
your plans now?

Richard: ...you can't beat it.

I'm putting
a "for sale" sign up

First thing in the morning.

See, I have to be back
at the hospital
in a week, tops.

It's not the house itself
that's the problem.

It's all the junk
that's inside it.

The basement alone
would fill up
half a dozen dumpsters.

[Toy whirs]

[Chimes]

Voice: ian...

Hello?

Ian...

Ian?

Why didn't you answer?
I've been calling you.

You all right?

You sure?

I'm sure.

'Cause if you're
not, I mean...

I understand.

I know that you
and grandpa were
pretty close, so...

Can you believe
all the junk
he's got down here?

It's not junk.

What is half
of this stuff?

He came up with more
ridiculous gadgets
and gizmos.

It's not junk!

Grandpa made
all this stuff!

This is his pumpkin carver.

It's gonna
revolutionize halloween!

And this is
a portable turbo-vac.

We made it summers ago!

And this...

Well, I don't know
what this is,
but it's grandpa's

And you can't just
throw it all into a dumpster!

I'm not gonna let you!

Keeping all this stuff
isn't gonna bring him
back, ian.

I hope you realize
how lucky you are.

I would have
given anything

To hang out
with him down here
when I was a kid.

So why didn't you?

I don't know,
really.

He was busy, and...

I was in the way.

A long time ago.
It doesn't matter
now.

Come on.

I left your sister
in charge of dinner.

Consider
yourself warned.

Well, that certainly
was disgusting.

I'd have ordered pizza,
but they don't deliver
after : .

Welcome
to small town living.

Dad, I found
some more newspaper.

That's the flyer
that weird guy

Who was going through
grandpa's books gave me.

Oh, hey.
I forgot about this.

The halloween
festival.

If we're
still in town,
you two should go.

It's supposed
to be a lot of fun.

Grandpa said
it's totally cheeseball.

Oh, he would.

It's
warner's baby.

People come
all the way from
boston for it.

Grandpa used to
talk about this
zachariah guy

Like he was some kind
of inventor...

But he looks pretty
creeped out to me.

He should.

He's something
of a local legend.

Our resident spook.

He really existed?

That's what they say.

He lived with
his young bride
on coal hill

Just south of town
almost years ago.

What did he do
to get so famous?

He burned things down.

Supposedly, zachariah
loved only one thing
more than his wife...

And that was fire.

They say...

You could see it
in his eyes.

Zachariah,
please come inside.

You'll catch cold.

Richard: fires broke out
constantly in the hills
around his home.

The town did everything
they could to try
and stop him,

But it was his wife
who finally said
she'd had enough

And tried to leave him.

Claire: tried?
What did he do?

Richard: he set their cabin
on fire with her still in it.

He k*lled her?

Afraid so...

But in a fitting end...

They found him
guilty of m*rder

And sentenced him to
be burned at the stake
in the town square.

The fires didn't end
with zachariah.

That night, the courthouse
burned to the ground.

Fire!

Fire!

Richard: they say that
he still roams the hills

Seeking his revenge.

Aah!

Cool.

So you're saying
this town is haunted?

No. He's saying
it's full of bumpkins.

Dad!

It's all right.

[Scary voice]
you can see it
in his eyes.

Dad.

You ok sleeping
in grandpa's room?

Yeah.
It's totally cool.

I'm not creeped out
or anything,

If that's
what you mean.

Good.

He didn't die
in here, right?

Right.

Good night, ian.

Ian:
good night, dad.

[Owl hoots]

[Clatter]

[Moaning]

Who said that?!
Who's there?!

[Moaning continues]

I'm not afraid of you!

Dad!

Dad!

Dad!

There's something
in my room!

It's clanging
and moaning--
the bed's shaking!

The bed was shaking.
There's something
in my room! Come on!

Calm down.
That's impossible.

I'm sure it was just...

Get out from under there
this instant.

Claire!

♪ I'm not afraid
of you ♪

I swear,
you are so gonna pay!

[Giggles]

Good night.

Don't let
the ghoulie-ghoulies bite.

Good night, claire.

You ok?

I'm fine.

Just make sure
claire's in her room.

Good night.

Good night.

[Ringing]

Very funny, claire, ha ha.

Knock it off!

Ian.

Ian.

Ian: aah!

Wait!

Now what's going on?

Ian?

Ian: and then
it said my name

And began doing this
weird morphing thing,

And I tripped
or something

And when I got back up,
it was gone.

That's what I get
for telling you kids
ghost stories.

I wasn't having
a nightmare.

How do you explain
the books falling?

Gravity?

Maybe it's
some sort of sign
from the beyond.

Maybe I'm supposed
to read them.

Then the beyond
doesn't know you
very well.

"Property
of the steeple falls
public library."

He was definitely
trying to tell me
something.

Claire: he?

Grandpa. It had to
be grandpa's ghost.

I mean, who else
could it be?

Oh, great.
It wasn't enough

That he was
giving me grief
while he was alive.

Ian, you gotta pull
yourself together
and go to bed.

Do we understand
each other?

Good. I'll see you
in the morning.

I got you so good.
You were so scared.

You were, like,
"dad, oh!"

[Gasps]

[Sighs]

Someone has
to remind dad

About the
child labor laws
in this state.

All right, guys,
let's take a break.

Come on into town with me.

Must have heard
from your lawyer.

Oh, claire, why don't
you run up to grandpa's room,
grab those books.

I want to make sure
we return them.

Claire, no!

We can't
return those books.

I haven't
even looked at them.

They're library books.
We can't keep them.

But grandpa was using them
to send me a message.

Oh, seriously,

The only message
he was sending you

Was shut up and quit
acting like such an...

Idiot.

What is that?

I don't know.

[Car horn honks]

Here, hold on
to these, claire.
You take the books.

You take 'em.
I'm not taking them.

Yes, you are.

Shut up.

Ghost: ian...

Ian...

Bent the rules a little,

Letting your grandpa
check these out,

But then again,
he could be
very persuasive.

Looks like old zachariah
and the festival

Are finally putting
this town on the map.

Before you know it,
we'll be giving salem

And their witch trials
a run for their money.

Ha ha ha ha,
and steeple falls

Has more unsolved fires
per capita than any other
town in the state.

Steeple falls:
is it hot in here
or is it just us?

I'm not kidding.
It's on the t-shirt.

What's with all the
old machine parts
in the display case?

Oh, that's just some
doodads that warner
dug up around the cabin.

We just wanted something
to fill up the case.

Zachariah's cabin?
It still exists?

Oh, heaven's no,

But warner owns
the land and he says

That he is gonna
build a replica
for the tourists.

There is even talk
about putting in
a theme park.

[Dog barks]

[Honk honk]

Hey, pops!

Slow down!

[Woof]

Man, these people

Sure love
their whacked-out
firestarters.

Maybe there's
something in the water.

What?

Don't wander off.
I'm only gonna be
a minute.

Where does he think
we're wandering off to?

You can see
the whole place from here.

Look, they still haven't
rented out grandpa's store.

I loved that place.

I still don't know why
he had to close it.

Yes, you do, and quit
talking about it.

You know it upsets dad.

What doesn't?

[Honk honk honk]

Hey, kids.
Beautiful day.

Hope you're making
the best of it.

Yeah. Well,
once we're done here,
we're gonna go back

And pack up our
dead grandfather's
belongings.

It's good to be
productive.

Now speaking of
your grandfather,
there were some books.

Library books?

Uh, yeah, right.
So you found 'em?

[Honk honk]

[Tires screech]

[Crash]

Wha--

What has he done?

I told you
to let me drive
the tractor.

Hey, pops, uh...

Clean it up.

What did
you do?

Warren:
hey, kids...

I didn't catch
what you said
about the books.

Hi, warren.

Looks like your festival's
really taking off.

Ah, ain't it,
though?

And your dad always
said it wasn't gonna
amount to anything.

It was a real loss
to this town

When frank
decided to close
down the store.

Shame he couldn't
find anyone to
take it over.

Yeah. Yeah,
it's a shame.

And me, I'm lucky.

My boys couldn't
wait to get into
the business.

This town means
the world to them.

Well, when
it's all you know...

See you saturday.

Nice talking to you,
warner.

Claire?

I'm going now.

Just running into town
to see grandpa's lawyer.

Hey, my old
wood shop project.

Sixth grade.

It was dad's christmas
present that year.

And grandpa kept it.

Must have meant
a lot to him.

I doubt it.

He said I didn't
sand it properly.

Dad, are you ok?

What? Yeah, fine.

Make sure you
and your brother
get some homework done.

I just don't want you
to get behind.

[Clattering]

Ian, I'm taking off now,
so...

I don't want
to know.

Yes, I do.

What is
all this?

Uh, it's stuff
to catch a ghost.

I should always
go with my gut.

[Coyote barks]

[Beeping]

Shh!

[Sighs]

[Wind howls]

Oh, whoa...

Got you!

Hey, what's going on?
Let me out of here.

Who are you, anyway?

Claire!

Do you mind?
Some of us are
trying to--

Look!

Aah!

Aah!

What is it?!

It's a ghost!

Ian, it is
not a ghost.

[Tap tap tap]

Can you just unscrew
the lid?

If it's not a ghost,
then what is it?

I don't know,

But there has to be
some kind of a
logical explanation.

It is not a ghost.

Ghost: it's dark in here.
I hate the dark!

Does it have to hit you
in the face, literally?

It's a ghost
and I'm keeping it.

Ian, for the last time,
there is no such thing
as gh--

[Footsteps]

[Gasps]

I do hate to be
the bearer of bad news,

But as we say
in the ghost business, boo!

Aah!

Must she keep doing that?

Stay right
where you are.

Don't take
another...

Whatever-it-is
you-do closer.

This is the coolest thing
in the world!

This is not the
coolest thing
in the world.

This is
the antithesis
of cool.

Now, nobody will get hurt
as long as you do exactly
as I say.

Give me the jar.

No way!

Ian, just give
him the jar.

First ghost:
give him the jar, man.

Ian, give him
the jar!

Ian: no!

Fine. I didn't want to have
to resort to this, but...

Aah!

That was so not
what I needed
right now.

That was amazing.

Can you do anything else?

No.

Good.

Uh-oh.

Oh. Nice chatting
to you, but...

Gotta fly.

Come on!

Ian: there it is!

Come on!

Hurry up!
We're losing him!

Sorry. I just keep thinking
we should be running

In the opposite direction.

Come on!
Could you possibly
move any slower?!

Yes.

Come on!

Where is it?
It's gone!

Ian!

Oh, man!

It could be
anywhere!

I can't believe
we lost it!

I think it went
that way.

Are you sure?
How do you know?

That's how.

I'm getting too old
for this.

Persistent little beggers.

[Typewriter clacking]

Ghost: name and manner
of death?

Wait, wait, wait, wait.
Let me guess.

Second ghost: watch
your step. Right this way.

Hey, there, stretch,
right this way.

A-l on your left,
m-z on your right.

Hi, there. Yes, welcome,
yes. Keep moving.

Oh, and we're walking,
we're walking away from
the light this time.

Third ghost:
thank you for dying.
Watch your step.

Thank you for dying
and please come again--
kidding! Ha ha ha!

A little
afterlife humor.

It's not
really funny.

Ok, dead people,
come on, keep it
moving, look alive!

Move it, move it,
move it.

There you go.
Get in line.

That's right,
get back in line,
cowboy.

Thank you, sir.

Hi, welcome,
that's it.

Ok, dot, down the steps.
A-l on your left,
m-z on your right.

Thank you very much.
Very nice. Wonderful.

And we're walking,
and we're walking,

And we're smiling
'cause we're dead,
not depressed. That's right.

Name.

Lindsey, phil.

Let me check that out.

Here you are.

Thought we made
a mistake there
for a minute.

You have no idea
the amount of paperwork

[Bee buzzes]

I've gotta fill out
when that happens.

Don't worry, sir,
just a little bit
of processing.

Thank you,
thank you for dying.

Please, come again.
Kidding!

Just a little bit
of afterlife humor.

It's really not funny.
Thank you for dying.

I'm sorry, no cell phones
allowed in the hereafter.

Makes the cherubim crazy.

Don't even ask me
about the seraphim.

Whoo-whoo!
Careful.

Ok, bye-bye.
Watch your step there.

Your turn. There you go.

There you go.
Where are the sheep?

Did somebody get the sheep?

Hello? Is anybody there?

It's gone.
We lost it.

Can we please
just go back

And pretend
it never happened?

It's got to be
around here somewhere.

I swear, if I end up
on the cover

Of the
weekly world news,[/i]

You are so dead.

Welcome. Please get in--

Mariah, we've got prob--

[Coughs]

Where in the world
have you been?

Look,
we are swamped.

Why everyone has to
die on a thursday
is beyond me.

We've got problems.

Problems?

As in plural?

Where is the soul
you were sent out
to retrieve?

That's one.

And where is jumper?

That's another one.

Well, how many more
are there?

One.

Ian: hello?

Maybe .

The living?

You let the living
follow you here?

What are
you thinking?

I'm sure if we keep quiet,

They'll be gone
in a couple of minutes.

Found 'em!

Aah!

She does that.

Aah!

Are all of those
people dead?!

They're dead,
aren't they?

They're alive,
aren't they?

They're alive! Ok,
do something! Get
them out of here!

Relax,
I'll take care of it.

You are only dreaming.

This is just a dream.

I tried.

I am so writing you up.

Look, we don't know
who or...

What you things are,

But we got your
little friend here...

Ghost: hey, boss.

But we'd be willing
to trade him for some answers.

Or the nearest exit.

Ok, look, kids,
don't mess with me.

I am in no mood today.

Ow!

Hey, boss.

[Grunting]

Open it.

Thank you.

[Sputtering]

Ooh. Aah.

Ooh. Aah.

That feels much better.

What was that
all about?

Was I bothering you?

And hello, how about
some air holes?

Some partner
you turned out to be.

Wuggedy-wuggedy-woo.

That's the best you can do?

You're welcome.

Oh, I'm supposed to be
thanking you now.

I got little kids here,
and you can't even--

Gentlemen, um, please,

I think we have
a couple more pressing
problems here.

So what exactly
is this place?

Oh, no, no.
Listen, it's--forget it.

It's much too complicated
to explain.

Some sort of afterlife
way station?

Ok, maybe not
so complicated.

Oh! Hello.

[Giggles]

Thank you for dying.

This is
the north american

Zone
soul retrieval center,

And I am jumper.

Aah! Aah! Aah!

Get the picture.

And this is my so-called
partner coffin ed.

Delighted.

And we are
the soul patrol.

Don't touch me.

Heh. I'm ian carlyle,

And over there
is my sister claire.

Put it right there,
buddy.

Ha ha!

Ha! I love that one!

Woman: thank you
for dying.

There you go.

Don't be
frightened.

What is this?

Hey. Hey. No.
No, no, no.

Step away.
Away from the portal.

Thank you.

You'll have
your opportunity
soon enough.

Not now.

I'm going to die?

Oh, hello.

News flash:
everybody dies.

Talk about
your job security.

Claire: so what's on
the other side?

Well, we're really
not allowed to talk
about it.

It's a big secret.
Big secret. Shh.

She's
never even been.

None of us
made it out of
the waiting room

Before they
bounced us into
these lousy jobs.

Yes, and I will be
stuck here

Until you-know-what
freezes over

If anyone finds out
about the two of you,
ok?

No, no.

Wow.
All these people died?

Wait till
the hockey season
starts.

No, no, no.
Do not touch that.

Don't touch that.
That's private.

Hey, claire, look!

Here's grandpa's name.

It's not checked off.

I knew it.

That was grandpa
I saw last night!

Why didn't he
cross over?

Other than
the fact it looks
kind of creepy.

Who knows?

The dead
are very
unpredictable.

Could be
unrequited love,
revenge,

Poor sense
of direction.

Don't you try
and figure out why
they stayed behind?

The number of
people who die
in my district

Is supposed to
match the number
of people

Who cross over.

The why is
not my concern.

How about
we make you a deal?

No.
The dead don't
make deals.

You help our grandfather
to cross over

And we promise
never to tell a soul
about what we saw.

Deal.

But first,

You have to let
my grandfather fulfill

Whatever it is
he's trying to do.

[Sighs] ok, but
he has to be here
by tomorrow night.

I can only claim
an accounting error
for so long.

Don't worry.

Once you get
to know mariah,

She's even worse.

Uh, no cell phones,
love.

Ian: still don't believe
in ghosts, huh?

[Branch snaps back]

Missed,
but I'll take that

As a "I'm sorry for
being such a stuck-up,
closed-minded"--

Ow! Aah.

What do you think
grandpa wants
to tell us?

Maybe he buried
a fortune in gold
under the house.

How hard
did I hit you
with that branch?

It would just be
so cool to see
him again,

To, you know,
to get to say
good-bye

And all
that stuff.

I'm caught.
Give me a hand.

Uh-oh.

I couldn't have
been in town for
more than an hour.

I don't know what--

Dad, what's wrong?

Claire,
are you all right?
Where's your brother?

Ian, I was so worried.

I got home, and you
weren't here.

Are you sure
you're all right?

Yeah, I'm good.

Yeah.
Fine, right?

Yes.

Yes.

So where were you?

Claire: dad, you're not
gonna believe this.

The most incredible--

We were frog hunting.

Frog hunting?

Frog
hunting?

Um, y-yeah.

Grandpa always takes us
frog hunting.

Um, so I wanted to go,

And, uh, claire said no
because she's afraid of frogs.

I'm not afraid of frogs.

And I went anyway.

Um, and then
I got lost,

And claire
came to find me,

But then we both got lost,

And now we're not
lost anymore,

Which is good,
because we've been found.

But I got to tell you,
boy, am I exhausted.

Sorry you were
so worried.

Next time, we'll,
uh,

We'll leave a trail
of breadcrumbs
or something.

Nice to meet you guys.
Night.

Their grandfather
just died.

I think they're still
a little freaked out
about it.

[Sputtering]
c*ck-a-doodle-doo.

Wow. You two have really
made a lot of progress.

Definitely on the road
to redemption.

Nothing like those
energizing pangs of
guilt to spur us on.

I knew
I brought you up right.

Listen, I'm gonna
take a run into town.

Either one of you
want to come along?

Uh, no, I'm fine.

Yeah. Me, too.

Fine. Suit yourselves.

Ian: come on.
We haven't
got much time.

Hey.

Listen, guys,

I--i know we haven't
really talked about,

Well, everything,

But I just wanted to, uh...

You're ok, right?

Yeah. We're fine, dad.

Ok. Good.

Are you sure?

Yes.

We're fine.
Really.

Great.

What's that for?

In case he doesn't
want to come along
peacefully.

You know how
stubborn he can be.

And what's all that?

Happy memories.

I thought that
might help attract him.

What do you want from me?

I've never been
ghost hunting before.

And neither have i,
but it can't be
that hard.

I mean, we know
he's in the house,

And I'm pretty sure
he wants to talk
to us.

Hey, grandpa,
are you in here somewhere?

Ooh. Ooh.

I'm trying to contact
the spirit of frank carlyle.

Come in, frank carlyle.

Oh, for
the love of--
[whistles]

Hey, gramps,
it's ian and claire,

And we have to talk
to you now.

Please?

Grandpa?

Grandpa?

Is it really you?

Give him a minute
to pull himself
together.

It's him!

Hi, grandpa.
How's it going?

Hi, grandpa.

It's me, claire,

Your granddaughter.

He's not blind.
He's dead.

I know.

Grandpa, I'm not sure
if you know this,

But it's important
that you cross over,

Move on with your life.

Death.

Just tell us
what you want,
grandpa.

We can help you.

What is it?
What's wrong?

Ian, claire.

Let go of my grandfather!

[Motor turns off]

[Whispering] something
to remember me by.

Watch out!

Ian, the extinguisher!
Hurry!

But he's
getting away!

[Bell ringing]

He's gone!

What's going on?
Why is the alarm going off?

Dad, hi.
That was quick.

Ian, you set the house
on fire?

Why do you think
I did it?

He didn't.
We didn't do this.

Seriously.

Yeah. If anything,

We should be getting
some kind of a medal
right now.

If we told you what
really happened,

You wouldn't
believe us,

So you're just gonna
have to trust us
on this one.

I mean,
no harm done, right?

No harm done?

I'm gone minutes,

And you almost
burn the house down?

What's going on
with you two?!

Are you acting out?

Do you blame me for all this?

Are you mad at me?

Are you trying
to get back at me
or something?

Seriously, dad,
this really
isn't about you,

So don't take it
so personally.

What?!

Go! Get out.

I can't talk to
both of you right now. Go.

I thought that dad said
that zachariah kull
was just a legend.

Apparently, he's not
the authority on ghosts
we thought he was.

Hey, those veins
on his forehead
were pretty wild.

Ha ha. Yeah,
I really thought

They were gonna
burst this time.

Just one of these days,

I'd like to see someone
come through here

Who actually looks like
their picture.

Ian: hey, ghosties!
Ghosties!

Come on, look alive.
We've got big problems.

Mariah: problems?
Guess what.

We have no more room
for problems.

We're filled up
with problems.

What's going on here?
Nobody died today?

Oh, I'd bite
your tongue.

It just so happens
that most ghosts prefer
to travel at night.

They're ghosts.

Tell that to
the flaming creepy

That just siphoned off
my grandfather.

You're not talking
about zachariah kull,
are you?

Um, well, huge,
skeletor-like face

With a long
black jacket.

That's the cat.
Big old top hat

And nails look like
they need to be done.

And, oh, yeah,
he throws flame ba*ls.

Yeah.

Yep.

Well,
that does sound like
ol' zachariah.

Of course, it could
also be sheila,
my second wife.

Now, she was
terrifying.[/I]

You know, I so do not
need this right now.

Sometimes
it just seems like

The whole afterlife is
conspiring against me.

What's zachariah doing
out here?

I thought dead guys
were supposed to be in there,

Even big,
huge scary ones.

Zach's
an unusual case.

He holes out
in an old mine

Just on
the south side of town.

And this isn't
the first time
our paths have crossed.

Actually, it's quite
an interesting story.

This is one evil dude!

You guys
aren't getting this, man!

He captures people's soul,

And then he steals
their life force.

He's the kind of ghost
that's after revenge.

Gives us all
a bad name.

Steals their
life force?

Does that mean
grandpa can't
cross over?

Ok, you know what?

No more drama.

Everything is just fine.

You people are
making a mountain

Out of a tiny, tiny,
tiny little molehill.

Now, we are monitoring
the situation closely,

And we'll have the matter
resolved in no time.

Everything is fine, people.

Look, I'm smiling.

He died
years ago!

Eternity does not
breed efficiency.

Ok, even with
the occasional loss,

This station still maintains
a death-to-crossover ratio
of...

. %

It's the second highest
in the continent.

Second only to new jersey,

And everyone knows they,
you know, doctor their books.

Sssst.

You have to
do something.

Isn't it your job
to save him?

I just don't have
the ghost power
for this kind of thing.

Look at us.
We're swamped.

[Whispering]
way to look busy.

Thank you. Busy.
Lovely.

This is our grandfather
we're talking about.

You can't just
leave him out there.

Look, little person,

I know that this is
difficult for you to accept,
but your grandfather--

This is getting
embarrassing!

What are we doing?

We are the soul patrol.

We got way more life force
than a dozen stinky ghosts!

This is
what I signed up for.

I say we go kick
some serious ghost butt.

Yeah, except for
you didn't sign up.

You were sentenced.

What. Ever.

Are you with me,
eddie, buddy?

Only one week left
on the force.

Why can't I
just retire in peace?

Oh, ok,
you talked me into it.

There's nothing on tv
anyway tonight.

Jumper: yes! That's what
I'm talkin' about!

Yeah!
How about you, mariah?

Oh, go. Fine.
But I know nothing.

I don't know anything.
I don't know you.

Who are you?
Get away.

Let's go
get your grandpa.

High-five.

Jumper: ha ha!
Got him again!

The soul patrol
is on the road.

Oh, yeah. You're
run-d.m.c., Now, right?

Coffin ed:
that's right.

The soul patrol

Is looking
for a mole. No.

So funny.
Soul patrol is on the roll.

That's great.

Soul patrol doesn't
care about the rules.

Soul patrol is going
to get me fired.

The soul pa--

Claire: his cabin
must've been up
there somewhere.

Ian: uh, whose cabin?

Zachariah's.

They said
it was on coal hill.

Coffin ed: oh, very nice.

What, on the bottom
of sewage lane?

But you know what
I don't understand?

Ian: baseball?

What to wear
with denim?

How I can be dead
and still look so good?

No, no,
and, heh, no.

I don't understand
why zachariah's
out for revenge.

He flambéed his wife
and burned down
half the town.

Sounds like he got
what he deserved.

Oh, an illogical
crazy person.

How unusual.

Before we go in here,
maybe we should figure out
what's motivating him.

There must be a reason
he didn't cross over.

You're just scared.

Duh.

He's huge and scary
and throws fire.

But, claire,
what about grandpa

And all the other
dozens of souls

He's plundered
over the years?

You care about
his motivation?

You know what?
I'm with you.

It's now or never.

What's it gonna be?

Never.

Now!

All right. Now.

Ed?

I'm sorry. What?

Oh. Uh...

Right.

We attack at dawn.

We attack now, man.

Right. Well,
let's get on
with it, then.

Next stop, handbags,
sporting goods,
and unfettered evil.

Ian: whoa.
This place is so cool!

Claire:
you really think
this will work?

Coffin ed: oh,
of course it will.

It's a brilliant plan.

We three
will distract him

While young ian here

Wrestles zachariah
to the ground,

Holds him down,
and proceeds to just--

That is
not a plan.

Now, ian and
claire suck him
into the gizmo.

We make him
stay there

Until we
get him back
to the portal

And toss him
through

And let
the people on
the other side

Deal with him
from there.

I think mine's
a much better plan.

Claire: please tell me
you're doing that
lantern thing.

I'm also available
for weddings
and bar mitzvahs.

Is that him?

If it's not,
then we're
in real trouble.

[Voice moaning]

[Whispering]
what's he doing?

He's powering up.

Shh.

[Softer]
he's powering up.

He keeps the souls
that he's captured

In that mine shaft
below,

Then he steals
their life force.

This has to work.

Ok, on the count of ,
start it up.

Ok. You ready?

...

...

!

[Engine starts]

Aah!

No!

Aah!

[Engine sputtering]

What did you do?!

I didn't do anything.

It's not my stupid
invention.

[Engine starts]

Aah!

Ian: here! Hold this!

[Engine turned off]

Ian: we did it!

We just have to
get this thing
back to the portal.

And release grandpa

And everyone else that's
still stuck down there.

Ian, look out!

[Screaming]

Claire!

Oh, no!

Claire?!

Yeah!

Ian!

Hang on!

[Screaming]

Help me!

Help me.

Help me.

Ian: grab the rope!

Pull yourself up!

Spirit:
help me!

I can't!

Try!
I'll help you!

[Claire screaming]

You go, and I'll try
to hold him off.

You can't do that.

You're no match
for zachariah kull.

Ok, then. I'll go
and you guard him.

Good luck.

Come on.

You're almost there!

Oh, please don't
let me step on one!

Please don't
let me step on one!

Claire!

[Grunting]

Come on!
Pull harder!

I'm doing
the best I can.

[Mutters]

Come on, sucker.

[Claire screams]

Help me, claire.

Ian: come on.

You all right?

[Screaming]

Jumper!

No!

Ed, I'm so sorry.

Don't worry.
We'll rescue him.

Oh, we will.

I swear on my life
I'll rescue jumper

Or die trying.

Isn't that
kind of an empty
promise?

Picky, picky, picky.

Well, I think it's safe
to say he came thisaway.

But he's got
to come back, right?

So maybe we
set a trap here
and then--

No more traps!
It was a stupid
idea.

What was stupid
was falling into
that pit.

Look, I just had
dead people

Breathing
all over me,

So don't--

Ahem.

Now, nobody panic.
I know exactly what to do.

But what about us?

Well,
there's gotta be

Some advantage
to being dead.

Enjoy your stay
in prison.

Um, I don't suppose
you're gonna
let us go

With just
a stern talking to?

Because i, for one,

Have totally
learned my lesson.

Policeman: do you know why
they sealed up this mine

In the first place?

Natural gas leaks.

Natural gas?

Seeps up
through the ground.

You're lucky
you didn't suffocate.

And we're all lucky
that little fire you started

Didn't blow up
the place.

We didn't start
a fire.

Let's go.

Let's go!

Ok, this time,
I'm skipping right over

The "thank goodness
you're alive"
part of the speech

And going directly to
"what do you think
you were doing?"

We didn't do
anything wrong.

Trespassing,
arson,

Destruction
of public property.

Claire: I mean,
besides that stuff.

Let's go.

You know, this is
the second time in days

I've been called out
on account of your kids.

And I guarantee you
there will not be
a third.

I'm taking them back
to boston first thing
in the morning.

What?

March.

Claire:
dad, you can't!

Richard: oh, yeah?

Just watch me.

Seriously, dad,
we didn't start
that fire.

Who did,
zachariah kull?

Ian: how'd you know?

Back in the car, ian.

Not another word.

Claire: then I was
trapped in this pit

Where zachariah
keeps all the souls
that he's captured.

So then
he captured jumper, and--

Jumper?

The other ghost.
The one in the jar.

Oh, of course.
Right.

If he hadn't
sacrificed himself,

Claire might be
lying at the bottom
of a pit right now.

So basically,
you can't send us home

While zachariah's
still loose and grandpa
hasn't crossed over.

Wow. That is one
pretty amazing story.

Come up with that
all on your own?

[Sighs] I knew
he wouldn't believe us.

We're not
making this up.

We're not acting out
or whatever it is
you think we're doing.

We're doing this
because we have to

Because we care about
what happens to grandpa!

And apparently
I don't?

Ian, caring is
a two-way street,

And your
grandfather--

What is it with the men
in this family?

You and grandpa could barely
say hello to each other.

You two are
always fighting.
Knock it off!

We've got a lot more
important things
to worry about.

You know, that's just
the kind of thing

Your mother
would've said.

[expl*si*n]

What in the world
is going on out there?

Ian, get the hose.

Claire,
get the fire
extinguisher

In the kitchen.

Ian: got it!

All right,
not too close, son.

Not too close.

Take it easy.
Atta boy.

I think
we're all right, claire.

I think we're all right.

That's it.

What kind of insane
prank is that?

Dad, I don't
think it was
a prank.

Thanks a lot,
guys.

I really
appreciate it.

Yeah.

You know, I've spent
more time in the last days

Talking to the police

Than I did
in the entire time
I grew up here,

And I was considered
something of a hooligan.

You didn't
tell them about--

Uh, no.

They didn't mention
flame-throwing ghosts

As possible suspects,

And I wasn't about
to suggest it.

But you know
zachariah started it?

Or any pyro
with a can of gasoline
and a match.

Listen, I don't know who--

Or what.

Started this,

But I don't like
people threatening my family.

Does that mean
we don't have to
go home today?

Consider this a reprieve.

Yes!

On one condition:

I don't want you
getting into any more
trouble.

Uh, could you be
more specific?

Ian: good thing
he wasn't more specific.

That's about the tenth
no trespassing sign
we've passed.

I know. Makes you
suspicious,
doesn't it?

Yeah. Of warner.

We've got to find
the remains

Of zachariah's
cabin.

It's up here
someplace.

I just want to see
for myself.

All this legend
of zachariah kull
business

Just isn't
adding up.

Claire,
in the past days,

He's kidnapped
our grandfather's soul,

Thrown a fireball
at us...

Captured jumper...

The best partner
a dead man ever had.

Ian: he even
set a brush fire
in our front yard.

Claire: I didn't say
I liked the guy.

I just think
we'll never be
able to stop him

If we don't know
what he wants.

I have a guess--

The total destruction
of the town

And all
its inhabitants.

But why?

He she always
been this way?

As long
as I can
remember.

[Muttering]

Claire: the librarian said
that when zachariah's cabin
blew up

It left a huge crater.

Ian:
I think it's up here.

Claire: it's here!

Ian: so this is
what warner wants

To turn into
a tourist attraction?

Coffin ed:
wait till you see
the tourists.

And what exactly
are we looking for?

I'm not % positive.

Ah, ok. I'll shout out
when I see it.

Yes! Look!

I will bet you
my entire year's allowance

That there's some sort of pipe
at the bottom of this crater.

I don't usually advocate
taking advantage

Of the really stupid,
but you should take
that bet.

That's free money.

It's here! Look!

I was right!
I was right!

Ed, would you mind
telling me how deep it is?

You can't be serious!

Oh, all right, missy.

I've done worse things.

And...aah!

You hear something?

No, I think
he's too far down.

[Growling]

[Snarling]

Nice doggie.

[Coughs]

Ok, I lied.

That was the worst thing
I ever did.

Uh, ed...do you think
you could distract him
for a couple of minutes

While we run screaming
through the forest?

Oh, very nice.

Exploiting the dead, eh?

All right, but you owe me one,
ok? Big time.

Come on then, pussycat.

[Snarling]

Come on, then.

Want a little bit
of this?

Come on, then.

Meow, meow, meow, meow.

Na na na-na na!

[Yelps]

[Whines]

This day just keeps getting
better and better.

[Screaming]

Ian: I think I have
poison oak.

Calm down, I'm sure
it's just a tick.

Look!

That would fit perfectly
around that pipe!

And?

Welcome back.

Are you two all right?

Well,
I've got poison oak
or lyme disease.

And I need
some old newspapers
or county records--

Anything
from around the time

That zachariah kull
was alive.

That I can help you with.

The
has been published continuously
since ,

And I bound them all into books.

Need to finish up
some of your grandpa's work,
huh?

Grandpa's work?

Well, those are
the exact same books

That you brought back to me
the other day,

So I figured that...

Well, now,
that's--that's odd.

I'm sure
that's where I put them.

Has anybody else
been looking
at the books?

Just warner.

Thank you.

Claire: I know warner
took those books.

He was looking for them
the day of the funeral.

Ian: and grandpa
practically threw them
at me that night.

I just can't imagine
what's in them.

Look! Warner's truck!

[Whimpers]

Hey, kids.
You lookin' for me?

Oh, hi, mr. Macdonald.

We were just looking
at your dog.

Seems pretty wiped out.

Yeah, we had a little problem
with some trespassers

Up on the hill this mornin'.

He just about
ran himself silly.

Some people
just don't know
when to stay away.

What did you say?

You heard me.

Well, I better get along.

Tonight's the big night,

And we still haven't finished
constructing the bonfire.

Hope you kids
can make it.

We wouldn't miss it.

He doesn't scare me.

Hey, jimmy, johnny,
you're lookin' good!

Thanks, pops!

Hey, pops!

We have to find
warner's house.

We've got to see
what's in those books.

Coffin ed:
oy! Is the coast clear?

What are you doing?

[Coughs]

Well, wishing he'd get
a new muffler.

I didn't get
a wink of sleep in there.

Claire: according
to the mailbox,
this is warner's place.

Ian: hurry up.
We don't know when
warner's gonna be back.

Ed: hmmm,
a classic spring lock

With, uh...
Interlocking tumblers.

It's tough,
but I've opened worse.

We don't want you
to pick it.

Just go in there
and open it.

Fine, but I'm surprised
you're adding breaking
and entering

To your already burgeoning
criminal record.

It's not
breaking and entering.

It's just entering
if the door's unlocked.

Hint.

An artist cannot be rushed.

I'd like to see
david copperfield do that.

Ian, you check upstairs.

Ed, take the basement.
I'll look around down here.

Coffin ed:
oh, by all means,

Send the ghoul
into the basement.

Got 'em!

They were under his bed

Along with some pretty
vicious dust bunnies.

I hate to be
the bearer of bad news,

But...bad news.
He's back.

See you in to .

Out the back!

Bills, bills, bills...

Hello.

I thought people
never locked their doors
in small towns!

Is there anybody there?

Let me do it!

[Thud]

Aah! I knew it!

When I get
my hands on those
lousy kids, I'm gonna--

Aaah!

Oh! Warner. Sorry.

What are you doing here?

I came to ask you
a couple questions
about zachariah kull.

Ha!

More'n likely
creating a diversion

So your kids
can get away.

What are you--
what are you talking about?

My house
has been broken into.

Well, that certainly
doesn't mean ian and claire
had anything to do with it.

Well, those books are gone,
so I know it was your kids.

Books?

I'm gonna go and make sure
that those kids of yours
are arrested.

Oh, well, come on, warner.

I think you're overreacting.

Maybe you just misplaced them.

I didn't misplace them.

Get outta my way.

Can I offer you a ride?

Hi, kids.
How was your afternoon?

Commit any
grand larcenies that your
old man should know about?

Dad, we can explain.

Sit!

So these are the books,
huh?

Dad, I think
warner's the one who set
our driveway on fire.

He warned me that--

Ian!

Do you not get it?

You are in big trouble,
so be quiet.

I think he did it, too.

Somebody broke into my house,
the last thing I'd check for

Is a couple of library books.

Oh, don't get me wrong.
You're still in
a lot of trouble.

Uh, hello?

Uh, help! Hello?
Anybody out there?

It's jumper, remember?

Sucked up in mine.
Need help.

Ok, I've got
one word for you: gas.

Thanks for the warning.

No.
I think that zachariah tried
to drill a natural gas well,

And it blew up.

But the first
natural gas well

Wasn't drilled
until, like, .

It was miles
from here.

What?! It's
in grandpa's book.

Ok, you're both scaring me,

And I have no idea
what either one of you
are talking about.

We know that natural gas
seeps up out of the ground
at coal hill.

I mean, it's why they
shut down the mine, right?

But zachariah
tried to dig a well...

To use it or store it
or something.

That's what
the pipe is doing
in the ground,

And the big crater is there,

Because that's where
the whole thing blew up!

Zachariah wasn't crazy.
He didn't k*ll his wife.

He didn't
burn down his house.
It was an accident!

And the point
of this would be?

Zachariah's seeking revenge

Because he was wrongly accused
of k*lling his wife

And was burned at the stake.

But what do the books
have to do with it?

That I'm not % clear on.

Thank you, sherlock.

Here it is!

"Rebecca kull,
wife of local inventor
zachariah kull,

"Died last night
in a devastating expl*si*n

That consumed their home."

Here's a picture of her.

"It is thought
that mr. Kull's
unnatural invention

Was the cause
of the blast."

"Unnatural invention"?

Who cares
if zachariah was innocent?!

The only thing
I care about is grandpa,

And no one seems to be doing
anything about it.

Well, we're doing
everything we can
think of, son.

We should be calling
in the national guard,

S.w.a.t. Teams, anything!

Anything but sitting around
reading some stupid
newspaper articles.

Ian--

You don't care about him.

You don't care about me!

All you care about
is yourself!

Do you want me
to go after him?

No. It's ok.

He just
needs some time
to himself.

I know I did
when I said

Exactly the same thing
to my father.

Press harder,
you're making copies.

Ed?!

There you go.

Where's mariah?

Oh...hi.

Oh, I was just down here
looking for my earring...

I lost my--oh! Look,
it's right there.

It was right there
the whole time.
I was looking--

Have you ever lost
something, and you're, like,

Your sunglasses
are on your head.
You're "where's my--

Oop! There they are!

No.

Not ever?

If you meet a witch
and she offers you an apple,
don't take it.

Ian: but why not?!

Can't you see?
I have dead people
who need me.

Sorry to make you wait.
Welcome to death.

Enjoy yourself.

Are you hungry?
You need a snack?

Oh, you hound dog.

Exactly, and my grandfather
who also happens to be dead
needs you.

Aren't there people
you can call?

Report to the big cheese
and--

No, no, no. Listen,
little alive boy.

Nobody is gonna
report this
to anyone, ok?

Now, I might seem
all sugar and spice
and fun,

But you do not want
to see my bad side.

Don't even.

Fine, don't help!

Hey, when you get
to the other side,

I need you
to give somebody a message.

Oh, no, no, no.
Look, kid,

I'm serious, ok?

If everybody just keeps
their mouth shut,

Then I will finally
be out of here
by next week,

Ok? Shh! Good!

What?!

Nobody stays here
very long.

Except me.

You'd think after years
I'd at least get a watch.

So you're just gonna
abandon them

While you take a free ride
to the other side?

Ok, kid...

I know you can't understand
how much this means to me.

But I am so close!

And all I want is
just to be on the other side

And be with my family.

Don't you think
all those lost souls
want that, too?

Ugh!

Now, zachariah has been
out there for over years.

It's about time
someone stopped him.

Uh...you'd be a hero.

They'd probably call you over
immediately...

Even apologize
for making you wait so long.

Well, they should.

But you're probably
no match for zachariah.

Oh, please.
Are you kidding?!

I could blast
ol' dragon breath
through that portal

So fast it'd make
his head spin.

Ed, hold the phones!

We're gonna save some souls!

What phones?

Richard: old zachariah
never even got a trial!

The hauled him into town
the very next day
and set him ablaze.

His last words were,
"wait for me, rebecca."

He already knew
that he wasn't going
to cross over.

What were the good people
of steeple falls afraid of,
anyway?

Claire: they thought he was
some sort of sorcerer,

But he was a visionary.

He was the first person
to harness natural gas
for his lights and stuff.

But he was also different.

People are afraid of what
they don't understand.

Do you think
warner knows the truth?

If people knew
the real story,

That would take
some of the steam

Out of his scary
little festival.

Then once everyone knows
the truth about zachariah,

He won't
have to stick around.

I'm sure
that's all he ever wanted.

Well, that sounds
kinda logical

For a flame-throwing
force of evil.

Dad.

But it's worth a shot.

Let's go.

Uh, hello? Ahem!
It's jumper! Help!

Hello?
Anybody out there?

Any chance I can get
a little lemonade in here?

Hey, skeletor!

Now, is it me,

Or has he been
working out?

[Growls]

I see you didn't
learn your lesson
the first time.

You thought we were
just gonna let you
go on stealing souls?!

I'll do as I please.

And right now,
there's a little
festival in my honor,

Which I must attend.

So if you'll
excuse me...

Zachariah kull, I presume.

[Cheering]

Claire: I don't
see warner anywhere!

Yeah, and no ian.

I really thought
he would be here.

Bye bye bye!

Hey, warner!

Hey, richard!

We need you
to tell people the truth
about zachariah kull.

The truth?!

People need to know
that he was innocent,

That his wife died
in a horrible accident,

And that he was ex*cuted
for a crime he didn't commit.

Everything
is in these books

You didn't want
anyone to see.

I knew
you stole those books.

Ok, ok, fine.
Have us all arrested.

Listen, are you gonna
tell everyone,
or are we?

Why do you care?!

I mean he's--
he's a myth,

A legend,
a ghost story.

Whoo-hoo-hoo!

Who cares if he was
innocent or not?

He's dead and gone!

Actually, he's kidnapped
my grandfather's soul,

So it really is
kind of important.

Listen,
zachariah kull is
the perfect villain.

He's the person
that people
love to hate.

Fine. We'll do it
without you.

Not if I can help it!

No!

So, zachy, we can do this
the easy way,

Or the hard way.

We aren't leaving here
until you free those souls!

[Growls]

Ah-ah-ah-choo!

[Gasping]

Oh, you didn't think
they'd leave me in charge

Without a few tricks up these
raggedy chiffon sleeves,
did you? Huh?

I only took those souls
who didn't want

To cross over
to the other side,

Who had
unfinished business
to attend to, like me.

What about jumper?!

What kind of a name
is that, anyway? Jumper.

But...

His life force
has proven to be
particularly useful.

Wait, wait.

Is that whole fiery, uh--

Snot--

Nasal thing new?

Because I did not read it
in any reports, people!

In the words
of the immortal bard, am-scray!

Ian: aah!

[Chuckles]

I'm too old to die again!

Richard: it was
a long shot, claire.

I don't know
that those books

Would have changed
people's opinions
of zachariah.

Come on.
We got to find ian.

Zachariah: aaaaaah!

I think years of rage
are about to be let loose.

Stay back, claire.
I'm gonna grab warner.

Warner!

[Chuckling]

Why don't you run,
little one?

Because I know the truth!

I know you didn't
k*ll your wife.

I know about the well.
I know about everything!

Then you also know why
I finally have to
destroy this town.

Start talking!

Y-yeah, listen!
I'm sorry!

Everything's
gonna be different!

We'll have the festival
in your name!

Ha ha! I'll have
another son, and I'll
name him after you!

Richard: what else?

I knew you were
innocent before
we started the festival!

I guess I just never
thought you'd mind!

Guess again.

Hee...hee...uuhh...

But you're not
this man, zachariah!

You're an inventor,
a creator.

Well,
what about rebecca?

You told her
to wait for you.

How much longer
is she going to
have to wait?

You focused so much energy
on anger and hate,

You forgot what you loved.

Rebecca, whispering:
zachariah.

Zachariah.

Zachariah.

I love you.

Rebecca.

Rebecca...

You got what you
really wanted...

The truth!

[People murmuring]

You did it!

You did it!

Dad!

Ian!

Look!

They're free.

He let them all go!

Townspeople: ah! Oh! Ooh!

You know, I'm not
usually a festival
kind of guy,

But that one
was pretty decent.

Yeah. Though I was
kinda bummed the ferris
wheel burned down.

All I wanna do
is take a long,
hot bath

And carve my pumpkin--aah!

Claire, what is it?

Grandpa?

Hi.

Sorry to startle
you.

Dad?

H-h-how is this
possible?

You're still
asking that
after tonight?

Do
you're here?

I have a reprieve.

A nice lady
at the center

Said you arranged
this. Thanks.

Any time.

And thanks
for the books.

They were
a big help.

Books? I just wanted
your father

To see the box
behind them.

Thought he might
figure it out

Without my having
to hang around
so long.

Uh...figure what out?

I just want to say

How proud I am of you.

Are you kidding?

That's why
you stayed behind?

You were a smart kid,
but all you ever
wanted to do

Was hang around
with your stupid
old man.

Dad--

All I ever wanted
for you

Was to get out
of this town,
see the world,

Use your gifts.

I was so worried
about your future,

I...kind of lost
track of your present.

And as different
as I thought you were,

Looks like you're makin'
all the same mistakes.

Not anymore.

Bye, gramps.

We'll miss you.

So...do you have to
rush off?

Nah.
Eternity can wait
a couple of hours.

Scared? Ha!
I wasn't scared.

I was just
bidin' my time,

Waitin' for the right
moment to make my move,

And you know I got moves.
Wah! Whaaaah!

Zachariah kull.
He ain't so bad.

Crossed over just like
everybody else,
one leg at a time.

That's right.
I'm just surprised they
haven't bounced him back.

Well, it's official.

My posting
has been extended...

Indefinitely.

Thank you.

You'll be out before
the next millennium.

Didn't capturing
zachariah and freeing
all those souls

Count for anything?

Well, apparently,
the rather public spectacle

Outweighed the benefits.

It's ok, though.

No, I'm fine.
No...i'm good.

No, no, sit.
I'm just gonna go back

And do what I do
every single day.

I'll be over here.

I'm really sorry.

But, hey, we'll
come and hang out.

That is,
if the living
are welcome.

Hey, aren't you guys
going back to boston?

Nope. Dad said
we could stay.

Apparently, he wants
to get in touch
with his roots,

Not to mention
he loves the neighborhood.

[Sob]

I'm gonna have this job
forever.
