Bee-Mo

1 Previously on Ghosted The Bureau Underground was created to protect humanity from paranormal forces.
Leroy, you were the best missing persons detective the LAPD ever had.
Max, you were a brilliant astrophysicist.
LEROY: What happened with your wife? She was abducted.
Oh, my God.
- That's my wife.
- (SHRIEKS) Everything I was called crazy for believing is real.
I mean, we were right there.
Gentlemen, welcome to the Bureau Underground.
("THE POWER OF LOVE" BY HUEY LEWIS & THE NEWS PLAYING) Look at us.
Look at l-look at us.
We're just driving to work.
Just a couple of guys.
Two Bureau Underground agents.
Can you believe this is our job? You mean, can I believe there's an entire government agency dedicated to hunting down make-believe stuff? No, I cannot.
Well, you're working for 'em.
You better believe it.
Man, starting a dream job.
LaFrey says I get to see my wife in a few days.
This might be the most exciting week of my life.
Mine was first week of summer, senior year.
- I saw Prince that week.
- Was it the Lovesexy Tour? - Or, no, the-the Nude Tour? - He was coming out of a JCPenney.
Huh.
That's cool.
That's a pretty good celebrity sighting.
Mm, I think I have it beat, but, you know, no biggie.
Over Prince? - Stronger and harder - It was Blaine Torgen.
- I don't know who that is.
- Celebrity professor Blaine Torgen.
Author of The Spaghetti Theorem.
- No one has heard of Blaine Torgen.
- Blaine Torgen.
Spaghe The Spaghetti Theorem.
Blaine Torgen.
- Pro Celebrity professor.
- Stop saying "Spaghetti Theorem, celebrity professor.
" Nobody heard of him.
Just 'cause you know who he is I went as him for Halloween last year.
- What'd you wear, a turtleneck? - Ah, see, I knew you knew who he was.
Hey, speaking of Halloween, you excited? I'm taking my old LAPD partner's kid trick-or-treating.
- No way.
- Yeah, he's been reaching out lately.
So it was it was exciting to hear from him.
That's great.
(CLICKS TONGUE) So First time you feel it, it might make you sad What am I doing? Oh, I'm probably You know what, I'm probably just gonna stay home.
- Would you like to hang with us? - Very much.
Thank you.
Oh, my God, what a nice invitation.
This is gonna be so fun.
Boom.
Halloween.
It's gonna be the best one ever, I promise.
- (ROCK MUSIC PLAYING) - (METALLIC RATTLING, CRASHING) (SNARLING) MAN: Damn animal in here again.
Warriors! (SCREECHING) - (LINE RINGING) - (ALERT BEEPING) DISPATCHER: 911.
What's the nature of your emergency? (CAT YOWLS, SNARLS) (SCREECHING) - - (ALERT BEEPING) (GASPS) Ay, papi.
Captain LaFrey! Oh, that came out significantly louder than I intended.
Barry, it is Halloween, there is a full moon and a meteor shower on the way.
It's a paranormal perfect storm.
What do you want? When I look back up, you better not be a cat.
We've got to get a team on this.
- Who's available? - Our top agents are all deployed.
Between a reported lycanthrope sighting, multiple hauntings, and Sad Brian's destination wedding in Sacramento, - we're really short-staffed.
- (SIGHS) Okay, well, just get whoever's left.
Go.
Now.
Anyway, look, uh, thank you for letting me tag along tonight, you know? It's - Who are you again? - Max.
I mean, I'm sure Leroy must've mentioned me.
His cool new friend, Max? Max-a-million? The Max Man? No? Nothing? No nicknames? No? It's all right.
I'm sure he mentioned me and you just couldn't hear him.
Must have been loud there.
- Where? - Nothing.
Thanks again for this.
He's been asking all week, "Can I go trick-or-treating with Leroy? I want to spend time with Leroy.
" That's nice to hear.
Those last couple times I hit him up, he was like, "Oh, I'm already booked.
" You know, with his dad gone, it means a lot to me, you spending time with him.
But, Leroy, I don't want him coming home knowing any new swear words.
I did not teach him "tig ol' bitties.
" That was his friend in geometry class.
- Uh-huh.
- I swear to God.
I'll see you later.
LEROY: Halloween.
All right, Jermaine, we're gonna hit some condo complexes.
The doors are close together, like at apartment buildings, but they got a little bit more money, so none of that fun size crap.
Why do I smell cologne? Jermaine, I know you didn't put on cologne for me.
So, this girl at school is having a party, - and she asked me to come.
- (CHUCKLES) Whoa! Look at that, Big J laying it down.
My mom said I can't go, but I figured you could just drop me off.
It's not far.
Wait, so is that the reason you asked me to take you trick-or-treating? Come on.
I can't miss this party.
I heard there's even gonna be a backrub circle.
Oh.
I mean, it sounds like you got to go.
- Exactly.
He gets it.
- I'm just calling it like I see it.
And this jam sounds can't-miss.
Max, I will turn this car around and take you right home.
- Yep.
Sorry.
- Jermaine, if your mom says you can't go, then I can't believe this.
You used to be cool.
Now you're just a lame mall cop.
(RINGTONE PLAYS) - Hello? - Leroy, it's Captain LaFrey.
I need you and Max to check something out for me.
Oh, come on, Captain, I specifically requested this night off.
Tell you what, you just do what you need to do, and I'll touch base with the monstrous creature and let it know that its timing is not ideal.
Leroy, just find the damn thing.
Barry's sending the info now.
Agent Lu, - he's on you.
Get out now.
- (SHOUTING) - (PHONE CHIMES) - Here, check this out.
MAX: Um, okay, this could be a important situation.
What are we gonna do with our friend here? We'll check it out.
If it's nothing, we'll move on.
Jermaine, stay in the car.
We'll be right back.
Come on, man.
I'm gonna be late to the party.
Ugh.
Heard that.
Two times.
Listen, give us, like, five, then we'll roll to your thing, bro.
Huh? - (KNOCKING) - Let's go! -Yep.
What the hell is your problem? Was that rhetorical or do you legitimately want to discuss my flaws? 'Cause I'm happy to have that conversation.
Dude, you know what I'm talking about.
Look, I am trying to help you, okay? Because, right now, Jermaine sees you as the lame guy who's trying to ruin his life.
- And we need to rehab that image.
- I'm responsible for that kid.
Can I just give you a little advice on kids? - No, you cannot.
- Look, if you want to win a kid over, you treat him as your equal.
I mean, that's what my mom did.
We're still best friends.
She was the best man at my wedding.
What? (SNARLING) Hey.
What are you doing? There's a cool cat under here.
Can I rescue him? I told you to stay in the car.
Why would you disobey me? Dude, why are you trying to be my dad? Okay, bring the cat.
Hurry up.
(HISSES) - Wait, Leroy, what are you doing? - Isn't this what you told me to do? Well, yeah, but, I mean, a feral cat? It's-it's a lot of work.
I mean, we'd have to get it into a socialization program - (SNARLS) - Ow! (GROANS) You okay? I'm fine.
It was a stupid cat anyway.
LEROY: Nothing there, LaFrey.
No creature, no mummy, no ghost, no Dracula.
And I'd keep going, but that's all the monsters I know.
- (SNARLING) - Nothing there.
Waste of time, end of story.
(TIRES SCREECHING) (GROWLING, HISSING) Let me call you back.
- He kicked the door off the car.
- Come on! How'd he get so strong? Hormones kicking in? Puberty doesn't make you kick the door off the car.
It gives you pimples and makes you get a boner in front of your aunt.
It only happened once.
She didn't even notice.
Quit talking about your aunt boners.
Wait.
- The cat bit him.
- That's right.
The-the cat the cat is the creature.
(PANTS) He's too fast.
Come on, let's get the car.
Yeah.
Jenkins, can you hear me? I need you to keep moving and check the area for radiation.
Agent Simons, chop off the head and blow it up.
Look at her go.
She's magnificent.
Well, she doesn't do it alone.
- Oh.
- (PHONE VIBRATES) Hola.
Barry.
The creature is a cat.
It bit Jermaine and he kicked a door off the car and ran off.
I'm sorry.
Who's Jermaine? Oh.
That's so nice Leroy does that.
How is he still single? Well, I don't know, Barry.
I'll give it some thought and get back to you, okay? But listen.
Annie needs to track Jermaine's phone.
And Barry, the infection took hold within minutes, so we have to contain this.
- We need your help right now.
- I'll call you right back.
Barrie, you and Annie load up with suppressive, non-lethal weaponry, head out and make a drop.
Then double back, find the cat, hit the lab, and use that big nerdy head of yours to come up an antidote.
On six.
- How the hell did you know that? - Barry, I know everything.
Pull yourself together, O'Connor, it feeds on fear.
We are witnessing a master at work; it's incredible.
Yes, yes, but I'm just wondering if she knows about my daily two-and-a-half-hour siesta.
It's for digestive purposes.
Doctor's orders.
Come on.
(DOORBELL RINGS) (INDISTINCT CHATTER) Jermaine, you made it.
Come on in.
Oh, my God, Jermaine, you're hilarious.
(HISSING, GROWLING) MAX: Okay.
We're on Palm Street.
I think Jermaine was still trying to get to his party.
LEROY: Pretty quiet for a party.
Parties tend to be loud, boisterous affairs.
Uh, yeah, Leroy.
I've been to a party or two in my time.
One or two? You know what? I used to show up so early, people would be like, "What? This guy's crazy.
" Uh, Leroy? (SPOOKY MUSIC PLAYING) (DOOR SQUEAKS, CLOSES) Jermaine! Jermaine, you in here? Hey.
Are you okay? Wh-what's going on? What happened to you? (CRACKING, SNARLING) Okay, that-that's abnormal.
- (GROWLS) - (GASPS) - (SCREAMS) - Max? (SNARLS AND GROWLS) Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
Calm down.
Stay back.
Stay back! - Max! - (GRUNTS) - What do I do? - Punch her! Hit her! - Knock her out! - Wait.
I can't hit a kid.
- Quit being a baby, man.
- Okay, wait.
I'm a baby because I won't punch a child? - That logic does not check out.
- Find something to hit her with hard enough to knock her out, soft enough I don't feel bad about it.
- Do it! - (YELLS) And stay down, you little psycho! Damn.
Can't believe you struck a child.
(LOW GROWLS NEARBY) Leroy, do you hear that? (GROWLING AND SNARLING) (SCREAMS) Hey, guys.
What's the situation? Okay.
It is really bad in there.
The infection has spread.
Luckily, it is contained in the house, but, unfortunately, that house is filled with really angry little zombie kids.
Jermaine is in there.
I need to get him out now.
Stun guns, smoke grenades, tranq rifles and full body armor.
Now, the plan is to storm the house, subdue the infected, pack 'em in the van, and get 'em back to the Bureau.
Now, don't make me regret giving you this.
Uh, look.
I am not a big drinker, but if I survive this, you owe me a really stiff Midori Sour.
I-I will owe you a drink, but I will be getting myself a real one.
What do you mean? Leroy, I want you to tell me something, and be honest.
This stuff is heavy, right? It's not just me? Leroy? You okay? Bee-mo.
That's what he used to call me.
It meant Beast Mode, but he was a little kid with a squeaky voice, so it came out, (SQUEAKY): Bee-mo.
Bee-mo.
He used to think I was the coolest.
I guess I was just trying to show I still was.
But, if something happens to him in there Yeah, Leroy, I hear ya.
But right now, Jermaine and every one else in that house is counting on us.
And by "us," I mean you, 'cause I don't really know how to do any of this stuff.
Those kids need our help, Leroy.
They need Bee-mo.
Let's go get Jermaine.
(DOOR CLOSES) (PANTING) Sorry.
Hey, Leroy.
Did you bring spare batteries for the flashlights? (GUNSHOTS, SHRIEKING) That was so awesome.
(GROWLING) LEROY: Max, shoot her! (GROWLING, GUNSHOT) That was exciting.
- Stay focused.
- Okay.
- I got one dart left.
- I think I've got four.
I've been really smart about my shot selection, so Stay that way; we might need it.
What's that mean? What does what does that mean? - (GROWLING) - Doc! - Whoa! - Get him off me! (DARTS STRIKING WALL) - (GUN CLICKS) - Okay, I'm officially out of darts.
- What?! You missed? - Well, you weren't standing still.
I got a demon kid on my back! I mean, I got really close on a couple of them, so - (RINGTONE PLAYS) - It's his mom.
She's video calling me.
- Don't answer.
- I'm not gonna answer.
- (RINGTONE STOPS) - I answered! - What?! - Hey, Rose! What's up? Hi, Jermaine! He's really into Halloween this year.
- (JERMAINE GROWLING) - Let me call you back.
- (PHONE BEEPS) - (GROWLING) (YELLS) Damn! - (SPOOKY LAUGHTER) - (GASPING) (GRUNTS) God My God, he's headed for those kids.
Is that Mom? The house had a mom.
(GUN CLICKING) (MOM SNARLS) Lord, if I only do one thing right for the rest of my life, let it be this.
(MAX GRUNTING) Take the shot.
(FIRES DART) (EXHALES) All right, so Barry's got the cat, and he thinks he has the antidote.
Great.
We will see you guys back at the Bureau.
Great.
And you guys are all okay? Yeah.
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah.
It was, uh, you know, it was pretty intense in there for a while, but luckily, I was able to, you know like, keep my cool and be super chill and stuff.
- And Leroy did everything? - Yeah, pretty much.
Yeah.
Uh, well, I guess I owe you that Midori Sour.
- Which still continues to baffle me.
- Oh, yeah.
Well, I was kidding, though.
That's not I don't I don't care about that drink.
- It's gross.
- (ANNIE LAUGHS) (ENGINE STARTS) MAX: Dude, that just happened.
- Yeah.
- Okay? We did that.
I can't believe it.
That was us! - We pulled it off! - Oh, my God! - (CACKLING) - That was awesome! I-I feel like The Rock.
- Yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- Okay? Like-like Dwayne Johnson, not the Nick Cage- Sean Connery movie.
- I know what you meant.
- Yeah, yeah, yeah.
But that movie's badass, so - That movie is badass.
- (EXHALES) It's hot in here.
You got, uh (GROANING): Ah, oh.
Actually What's wrong? What? I don't know, I'm feeling kind of funny, man.
- (EXHALES) - Funny? - (GROANS) - Funny like how? Like, I don't know, like maybe - You - Got bit? - You think you got bit? - I got bit? - You think that? - You said it.
You said.
What are you - Don't touch me! What are you doing? - I'm checking! - Check yourself! Check! - Oh, my God.
I don't remember getting bit.
How do I how do I how do I look? You look pale.
But you always look pale.
What do we do, man? What do you think? (EXHALES) Leroy, thank you.
Duct-taping you to the seat was legitimately my pleasure.
Listen, before the virus takes hold and I start trying to eat your face, I just want to say that Jermaine is so lucky to have you, man.
I mean, in that case, so am I.
(LEROY GRUNTING) You know what? I feel fine.
I mean, not a hundred percent, but I I don't know, I think I'm all right.
Must have just been low blood sugar or something.
I mean, I did have half a Baby Ruth for breakfast.
- (TIRES SQUEALING) - You okay, man? If this is some sort of Halloween prank, it's hilarious, but you got to keep your eyes on the road.
(TIRES SQUEAL) Whoa! Whoa, Leroy! Oh! Whoa, Leroy! Leroy! Aah! - Whoa! - (SNARLING) Leroy! Oh! No! No! No! Seatbelt! Seatbelt, stay! No! No! No! Yeah! Eat it, zombie Leroy! - Eat it! - (AIRBAG POPS) - Oh, no, don't eat it.
- (AIR HISSING) - No, no.
Disregard.
- (SNARLS) Oh! Aah! Somebody help me! (SYRINGE HISSES) Well, he wasn't infected long.
Should be fine in no time.
- Are you duct-taped to the seat? - Yes, I am.
Yeah, I-I I was actually about to move into phase two of my plan, which was just to escape, but then you came along, so we can just move into that, uh, that phase a little quicker.
How are you? Longest night of the year.
Nice work, everyone.
Let's get some sleep.
LaFREY: I'm sorry to interrupt, - but what the hell is this? - Nothing.
That's clearly not true.
I don't know why I said that.
The infected.
This one is my old partner's son.
- Is he okay? - His vitals check out.
The rest of them seem to have stabilized.
On the way to a full recovery.
As for me, I got a bit of a rash from the duct tape.
But I applied calamine to the affected area should be good in four to six days.
Thank God for that.
Let's report this as a bacterial infection.
Chalk it up to party dip gone bad.
Let's get these kids home, okay? (SIGHS): I am gonna go do what I do when I'm not here.
What do you think that is? LEROY: There he is.
What's up, champ? - I feel w-weird.
- Bet you do after all that.
You know what? You two should talk.
I'll pop my earbuds in, lay back I am not here.
Listen, man, sorry I had to be the bad guy today.
But as much as I want you to think I'm the coolest, most badass dude around, I got to do what's best for you.
That's the promise I made your dad.
And I'll always do whatever it takes to keep it.
- You understand? - Yeah.
- (SIGHS) I really miss him.
- (EXHALES) I know.
I do, too.
But he's always with you watching over you.
And I know he's damn proud of you.
Bee-mo! You guys these earbuds are terrible.
I heard that whole thing, and it was beautiful.
Truly.
Bee-mo.
Bee-mo.
Bee-mo.
(WHISPERS): Bee-mo.
Bee-mo okay.
- What's his deal? - (WHISPERS): I don't know.
