Ghost Punchers (2025) Movie Script

1
Hello, Wiener Weenies delivery.
Get 'em while they're hot...
dog.
Greetings, please come in.
I actually have some
other deliveries to make.
Some guy ordered a Big
Garlic Wiener, so I gotta-
I insist, enter.
[Low ghostly rumble]
Uh, how you doing that?
Is that like the moonwalk or something?
All right, well I should
probably drop these weenies
Off and head to the next place.
So if you could just take
your order. I can be going.
Hello?
[Door slams]
Okay, have a good one.
Thanks for ordering Wiener Weenies Hotdogs.
Oh no.
What is happening?
I need a host.
Oh my God.
Be my vessel.
Ahh
So garlic works?
Damn it.
Last one.
Super Ultra Wind Up Punch!
What the hell was that?
Sloppy work Peterson.
I expected more from you.
Who are you? What's going on?
I have pepper flakes. I'll throw them.
Stand down. Peterson.
You will refer to me as Ms. Frost.
Ms. Frost?
This is Mr. Black and Mr. Drive.
Well, I'll cut right to the chase.
I'm sure you're wondering what's going on.
Big time.
I ordered that hot dog
to be delivered here.
I had to see what a legend
like you was capable of.
Legend?
You were a little rough around the edges.
And, your tactics were less than subpar.
But you did accomplish what I had hoped.
You punched a ghost.
My god, that was a ghost?
Okay, what is going on?
We are members of a secret
elite government agency
Of paranormal
combat, also known as the Ghost Punchers.
And I'm here to recruit you.
I have to say you're not
exactly what I had in mind
after reading your file,
decorated military officer
and Special Ops CIA. I
expected you not to be
so alarmed in a situation like this.
Special Ops, what?
You are K. Peterson are you not?
Yeah.
Ex-military, father of three,
Graduate of Berkeley, Special Ops CIA?
Oh
No, that's my brother Kyle.
What? No, you are K. Peterson, are you not?
Your name tag says K.
Peterson for God sakes.
Oh yeah. No, I'm, I'm Kevin Peterson.
You're thinking of my brother Kyle,
Winner of the Distinguished
Intelligence Medal.
Yeah, that's my brother.
Although I won a hotdog
eating contest once.
Well, I mean, technically
it was 12th place,
but you see what happened-
No, you mean to tell me
that you are not legendary
CIA Agent K. Peterson Code name Ultimate.
You are apparently his brother
that nobody has ever heard about.
Yeah. My brother is the
hero in the family. Mr. Perfect.
Meanwhile, I might as well be a ghost
From what my intelligence
team gathered I was
to understand that K.
Peterson was undercover
as a blue collar worker.
But apparently all we have is some loser
12th rate hotdog contest slacker.
Hey.
All right. Let's just kill him
and try to find the real K. Peterson.
Whoa. Hold on. Let, let's talk about this.
You know, too much.
You've gotta be eliminated.
But, but I punched a ghost, right?
You can just recruit me instead.
He's got a point-
Shut up.
You really think you
can join the Ghost Punchers?
You think you can face the hellscape that
is paranormal combat?
I mean, it beats getting killed.
It's not like I have
much to live for anyway.
The girl I like doesn't know I exist. And-
Can you be fearless in
the face of the undead?
Uh... I mean... ah...
Your response is not reassuring.
Well, it is just, I hate scary movies.
I mean, they make them so scary now a days.
Like I watched
this one once where this possessed doll
was trying to kill everyone-
Shut up. Okay...
K. Peterson, join
the Ghost Punchers and I won't kill you.
Do a bad job and you'll die on the job.
You shake my hand, you no longer exist.
You join the Ghost Punchers
and you become a ghost to society,
no friends, no family, nothing.
You will serve your organization.
Can I quit my delivery job?
Consider yourself
fired from the hot dog stand.
Welcome to the Ghost Punchers.
So... you're all Ghost Punchers, huh?
Yep.
Cool.
So how long have you been Ghost Punch-
You don't have to make smell talk.
So do we get vacation days or is that-
You will have a job, food,
And permission to live.
Four days for Christmas, two personal days.
Cool.
You have 12 hours to collect your
Things and meet me at headquarters.
Well, that's not enough time. I...
See you at 2:00pm
Oh, hey, Mr. Black.
Mr. Peterson.
K. Peterson.
Welcome to the Ghost Punchers.
Thank you.
You can call me Ms.
Violet, please follow me.
This is Ghost Punchers HQ.
We currently have 99
registered Ghost Punchers.
Soon to be a hundred.
Whoops
Lost one. Looks like you
are gonna be number 99.
Lost one?
Ghost Punchers are the only line
of defense the city has
against the paranormal.
When a ghost
has unfinished business, it haunts the city
until it can find a vessel
take over, and use them
to finish what they started.
Whoa, that's freaky.
They say the host blacks out while
the ghost is using them
like their brain is on pause
until the ghost is done.
Really freaky.
We are here to defend the
innocent people of New York,
to fight against the paranormal,
and send them back where they belong.
So what are we just supposed to get rid of
all the ghosts in the city?
In a perfect world that our
leader Ms. Frost dreams of,
But realistically,
we're more like ghost population control.
Your training will begin soon.
But first, let's drop off your things.
Welcome to your humble abode.
Humble is putting it lightly.
Here is your official
Ghost Punchers issued uniform.
You'll wear it at all times.
Oh, okay...
What's with the two beds?
K. Peterson, meet your assigned living mate
Ms. Shadow. Careful,
she's a real nightmare.
Whoa
You're the legendary K.
Peterson that they talked up?
K. Peterson, meet Ms. Shadow.
You're less attractive
than they made you sound.
- He's the brother.
There was a clerical error
and he is the brother of
the legendary K. Peterson.
But I'm sure with proper
training, he will be just
as promising as we all expected.
Now you two get acquainted
And your training will begin in 60 minutes.
So I-
Your name's K. Peterson, right?
Yeah, Kevin. Kevin Peterson.
I'm gonna call you Pete
Or just Mr. Peterson, is fine.
So Pete,
that's actually my bed.
Don't eat my cereal and we'll be okay.
Hopefully this roommate situation
works out better than the last guy.
The last guy?
Yep.
Died on the job. Really sucks too 'cause
He still owed me like 20 bucks.
Oh wow.
You are like my fourth roommate.
Everyone keeps dying.
Look, Pete, you seem nice.
So I'm gonna warn you, I'm a nightmare.
Oh, come on.
Ms. Violet warned me you were a nightmare.
But that seems kind of harsh.
I'm sure you're not all
that bad. You seem... nice.
Pete, I am an actual
nightmare
More than just humans work here
you know. Ghost
Punchers need all the help they can get.
Wow. That's crazy.
You're an actual nightmare?
Yep. And you ask me again,
I'm gonna pop your own mattress.
So, you're a real nightmare?
It is an air mattress.
What the heck is this tie thing?
It's called a Crossover
Tie. Ghost Puncher tradition.
Since the beginning.
They used to say that the cross shape
of the tie used to scare off the ghosts.
It was actually just a bunch of B.S.
because all you're really
doing is scaring off the
ladies looking like a
dweeb in that dumb thing.
I've never worn a tie
before. Hate this thing.
- I like it.
Thanks. Hey, I'm Kevin.
I mean uh Mr. Peterson.
But you can call him Pete.
- Oh, hello, Pete.
I'm Ms. Raven.
She's a succubus
Really?
Hmm, uh, that's neat.
[Smack]
Oh uh.
[Sniffing]
Ooh.
Okay, Raven, keep it in your pants.
We got work to do.
- Hello, Ghost Punchers
and welcome to training.
I am happy to be your guide in getting
started on this journey.
Now, first, a message
from our leader, Ms. Frost.
Hello Ghost Punchers.
Some of you have
been here for a long time, so this is going
to be review. For the new blood,
listen carefully. Our goal is
to protect our
great city from the paranormal. Ghosts
are a problem, and our
job is to punch as many
as we can into oblivion.
You are all honorably risking your lives
to protect your city.
Our organization is a secret.
No one will ever know of your heroism,
but you will get a certificate
and a gift card to pizza if you survive.
If you do a great job,
You will get an additional star ranking.
Now, ghosts are made of pure energy.
They are able to bend the laws of physics
to their will, all while being untouchable.
You throw something at a
ghost goes right through it.
You shoot bullets at a ghost,
it's like you're shooting at the air.
The only way to make
physical contact with a ghost is
with the help of an apprentice
ghost. The Spirit Hand.
The only way to make contact
or "punch" a ghost.
You must make a pact
with an apprentice ghost
and they will become your Spirit Hand.
I'll now leave you in the capable
hands of my assistant, Ms. Violet.
Good luck out there.
Any questions?
Yeah. So does that mean
that we gotta use a ghost
to punch a ghost?
A dumb question.
Mr. Corn, if you
ask another nonsensical question like that,
I'm going to take away your only star
and demote you to cafeteria duty.
You must make a pact
with an apprentice ghost in
Order to have a Spirit Hand.
If you do not have a Spirit
Hand, please step forward.
Don't worry, this will
be quick and painful.
Mr. Fredrickson, put your hand in the box.
I really don't want to. - Mr. Fredrickson.
We don't have all day.
Put your hand in there.
Yes.
- This is taking too long.
Now, request that he
becomes your Spirit Hand.
Be my Spirit Hand.
It isn't taking
Mr. Frederickson was incompatible
With his apprentice ghost.
It's okay, he's dead.
Mr. Peterson, you're up next.
- Don't worry, Pete, you'll take with the
apprentice.
I'm sure of it. Here, let me help.
Geez, you're sure you
are not the real nightmare?
Request this ghost to
become your Spirit Hand.
I, I wanna make a pact,
become my Spirit Hand
- Whelp, I call a skateboard.
- Ms. Shadow. Stand down. Just wait.
Welcome back, Peterson.
It's time to get ready
for your first mission.
Wait, wait, wait. What? - Oh, Pete.
Oh, I'm so glad you didn't die.
I think you and I have a
good thing going, you and I.
Oh, she's a nightmare. Oh
- Before me stands a
mixture of new recruits
And veterans who
have recently lost their combat partners.
But you will be lonely no more.
Now is the time to pick new partners.
Remember to choose wisely
because you'll be spending the
majority of your time together.
And as comrades, you
will have each other's back
through the thick of battle.
You'll be sharing your lives together.
Yes.
Now choose your combat partners.
Hey, Ms. Raven, you wanna be partners?
Oh baby, I would love to,
But Ms. Shadow already claimed you.
What?
Hmm yes.
Why hey there partner Pete
Ready to giddy up?
You?
Why?
We already have to be roommates.
Did you have to ruin this
too? God, I can't escape you.
You're like a, a...
Nightmare?
It's too bad, baby. I really wanted you.
- Alright Partner Pete, ready to hit it?
Please don't hit me.
Don't worry. I'm not gonna hit you.
Okay...
Ow. What the hell? You hit me.
You hit you.
I hate you.
Hate you too.
Hey guy, can you believe this?
I got paired up with a succubus.
This is the best ever. Woo.
Bye Pete.
Hey, Ms. Frost. If I didn't
have my Spirit Hand yet,
How was I able to punch that ghost?
Is garlic really that effective?
That's just an old myth Pete.
I lent you,
my Spirit Hand
when I could tell you were gonna put up a
Fight and I knew you'd handle it just fine.
So you all knew that I
wasn't gonna die when I
requested my apprentice ghost?
No. There was a 60%
chance you were gonna die.
I was just willing to bet on those odds.
Thank you.
Oh...
- Here we are.
There's a haunting
happening in that building.
Look it's my old coworker,
Delilah. Hey Delilah!
Are you insane Peterson?
No one from your previous life is allowed
to be in contact with you.
We're a secret organization
try to keep it that way.
Sorry.
Just go inside the building
and punch out that ghost. Ms. Shadow
keep an eye on him. I'll be back in an hour
To bring you back to HQ.
So, so do you mind if you
punch the ghost this time
and I watch you, you
know, just so I can see
how it's done. And the next time,
next time I could like
Punch two ghosts to even it out?
No, can do Pete. The ghost attacks you,
you gotta punch it.
What was that? Why're you so jumpy?
Sheesh.
Oh my god. It's floating.
So the ghost knows we're
here. Big whoop, come on.
But it's floating.
Why wasn't I just happy
being a delivery boy?
Play video games. I ate
hot dogs. That's the life.
And I didn't even know it.
Snap out of it.
Ow.
Wait,
do you smell chicken?
No.
Guess it's just you.
OK, you take upstairs.
I'll check this floor.
Wait, wait, wait, why, why
do I have to go upstairs?
OK, fine... I'll take upstairs
and you take this floor.
But... wwhh... I...
[Creepy laughing]
Oh no.
Ms. Shadow! Ms. Shadow, help me!
"Play with me or die"?
[Thud]
[Thud]
[Thud]
[Thud]
[Thud]
What are doing on the floor?
What are you doing
freaking me out like that?
You were screaming my name chicken.
What's that?
I don't know. It kind of looks like a...
A grenade.
A grenade?
[creepy laughing]
Ghosts have grenades now?
Why?
Now's your chance buddy.
PUNCH THAT GHOST! Woo woo woo woo woo!
Hello? You gonna do it or not!?
This is your training mission!
Are you kidding me?
What the hell Pete?!
Kevin! My name is freaking Kevin! Okay?
You know Peter, my job is to assist you
with paranormal combat.
Well, why didn't you help me then?
- Because my other, other job is
to make sure you don't run away.
My other, other, other job is to
kill you if you try to escape.
Really? I thought we were partners.
We are!
But my other, other, other, other job is
to make sure you stay in line.
If work gets out about what we do here,
There could be complete chaos in the city.
Do you want 8 million people screaming
and running around in the city?
And I would've helped you
if you would've needed it.
By the way, it's your first mission.
Ms. Frost wants to see
what we're capable of.
Capable of screaming and running away.
Great first day on the job.
Look, Shadow, Ms. Shadow to you.
Look, I'm
sorry. Let's just go back inside
and I'll try to pull it
together and punch a ghost.
Okay?
Oh shit.
What?
Code 8008.
Civilian take over. A Ghost
just got that lady.
Delilah! No.
[Creepy laughing]
Play with me or die.
Let's play hide and seek.
God damn it.
Delilah... I...
Great job scaredy pants.
Now we're both gonna
die. You frigging idiot.
What why?
Once Ms. Frost finds out
she's gonna kill us both.
A ghost civilian
possession is number one on the don't let
it happen list.
We kind of the opposite of
what our jobs were tonight.
Well shit.
Yeah. Well shit.
What are we gonna do?
I'm not gonna die for your mistake.
Why is it
always life or death around here?
We deal with ghosts, idiot.
I'm not gonna tell her.
- I'm not gonna tell her.
- I'm not gonna tell her.
Shadow. Peterson.
How was your first combat as partners?
I...
We...
Oh, you go for it.
No, you go for it.
Well, you see, um...
you see what happened was,
well, uh, uh... ummm...
Pete ran.
What?
Pete ran
from an explosion
and now the ghost
is no longer in the house.
So...
Well done Peterson.
Looks like you
and your brother are
slightly related after all.
Uh yeah?
I knew you and Shadow
would make a great team.
Sounds like the ghost
really put you through it
With an explosion.
It's not like you hear
that every day. Well,
Glad to hear that
you punched out the ghost and it's gone.
Well done.
- Yeah. -Yeah.
Mission accomplished.
Something accomplished.
Let's get back to HQ. Nice job.
My brother would've
punched a ghost today and been a hero.
Why am I like this?
Okay, that's it. I'm gonna have courage.
I'm gonna have no fear.
Hey.
Ah!
What?
What are you doing in my bed?
We need to talk Pete.
Oh my God.
In my 200 years,
I have never failed a job.
You're 200 years old?
I'm not telling Ms. Frost about this.
Good. Neither am I.
We need to figure out how
to cast the ghost outta that lady.
And then you need to
punch it into oblivion.
OK, OK... I can do that.
We just need to figure
out how to track down
The ghost first.
Yeah. Do you know where ghosts hang out?
That sounds like some sort of setup
to some sort of crap joke.
I was being serious.
Do you know where Ghost hang out?
The bar.
Because of all the boos. Am I right?
[Cricket sounds]
Tough crowd.
My name's Pete and
I'm afraid of everything.
[Booing]
That's what you sound like.
Ghosts don't just hang out.
Idiot. They hunt wherever they want.
Wait, would the ghost have gone
To the next place Delilah was going?
I mean, it's possible.
I know where to look, the
first thing in the morning, we'll, just-
Ghost don't go out in broad daylight idiot.
So then we'll just go now then.
What you think we could
just sort of walk outta here.
We're not allowed
outside at night unless it's
On an official job.
Being your partner really stresses me out.
Hey, I have a question.
Is it about my necklace?
Yeah.
Fine.
What's with the necklace?
This is Nightmare Fuel.
Nightmare Fuel?
If my energy ever drains, I drink this here
Nightmare Fuel and it refills me.
Wow. That's interesting.
How do you get that liquid in there?
It fills up and I'm being
a nightmare to people.
Aha.
Yeah, it's great.
[Alarm sounds]
[INTERCOM] Haunting
detected in Tribeca, any
available Ghost Punchers, please dispatch.
What's that mean?
It means that we're getting
out of here after all.
[INTERCOM] Ghost Punchers, please dispatch.
Haunting detected in Tribeca, any available
Ghost Punchers, please dispatch.
Now let's make this quick
So we can track down your possessed friend.
Actually kind of a regular apartment, huh?
That's a nice change.
Oh no. Gah!
What a baby. Come on
Shadow, Shadow, Shadow.
Pete.
Summoning apprentice Spirit Hand!
Pete a little help here
Any day now Pete.
Ah
Summoning apprentice Spirit Hand.
Super Ultra Wind Up Punch.
I did it.
You did it Pete. You did it. You did it.
You punched a ghost!
Thanks for saving me. Come here.
You can use towel
Let's go.
So you really think this
Delilah chick is gonna be at
your old hotdog restaurant?
What is it? Weenie Peenies?
Wiener Weenies.
And yeah,
That would be my first
guess at where she might be.
Hmm?
You found me.
Hey Delilah, would
you just stay right there?
OK..
Yeah. I'm not getting
in trouble 'cause of you.
So stay put.
Hey careful. Careful.
Okay... would you come outta
my friend, please, Mr. Ghost.
I have had a really big crush on you
for like four years now.
And I would very much like to tell you
myself in person one day.
Delilah, can you hear me?
Tag, you're dead.
Pete!
Pete, come on sleeping beauty.
Pete, come on.
Don't be dead. Don't be dead.
Don't be dead, don't
be dead, don't be dead.
[Crashing sound]
[Mumbling unknown language]
All right, lady. That's it. Game's over.
You killed my favorite
partner. You son of a bitch.
Now hold still so I could
punch you straight to hell.
Summoning apprentice Spirit Hand.
Hold still.
Tag.
You're dead.
Pete?
Ms. Shadow. Glad to see you're alive.
Pete.
Sorry I couldn't save you.
It's Okay Shadow... I wish
I could have saved Delilah.
Do me a favor, please save her.
I'll help you out where I can.
It's my unfinished business.
Pete.
Portal
Uh oh.
That looks like a real problem.
The ghost that got Delilah,
it must have had some
sort of special abilities,
'cause I've never seen a portal ripped
into the spirit realm before.
Wait, no, wait. Yes, no wait.
What?
In theory, if we make the portal
big enough to fit your body
inside, then we should be able to
Rejoin your body with your spirit.
Are you serious? I can come back.
I think so.
I just need some help
making the portal bigger.
Pete, I'm gonna need you
to help me get some backup.
Hey.
[Screaming]
[Laughing]
[Screaming]
This is so weird. I can't,
can't feel myself walking
Because you are not.
Okay...
We just open the portal a smidge more
and then I'll leave this poor guy alone.
Maybe I should make him a
hot dog before I leave him.
Seems excessive.
I'm just saying. I feel bad.
I made him spill all of his food also.
I think he piss his pants.
Ew.
Ready?
Ready.
Yes.
Holy shit! Yes!
Shove that in your hole.
Woo yes. Okay... Alright.
Now we just need to get
your body from upstairs.
You got it.
Oh, uh, and Pete, one more itty-bitty,
Teeny tiny little minuscule thing.
You can never ever, ever,
ever, ever, ever, ever, ever,
ever, ever, ever,
ever tell anyone that you were a ghost.
Why?
They don't want anyone who's been a ghost,
or anyone who has
become friends with a ghost,
Because they don't want
us empathizing with them.
I mean, there's no mercy in ghost punching.
And it becomes
this whole conflict of interest thing.
So just, mums the word. Okay?
Understood.
Cross my heart, hope to...
Well, you know.
Well, well, well...
Oh, ummmm, ehhhh, hey
guys, come here
often?
Oh, well hey, Ms. Shadow.
We heard reports of paranormal activity
happening in the area.
Ah, looks like Shadow is
in cahoots with a ghost.
That's a big no-no for the Ghost Punchers.
What? No, no, no, no,
no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
That's, that's, that's, that's not a ghost.
That's, that's just, that's um...
My... my name... is Ray.
Yeah. Uh, Ray.
Oh (laughs)
Yeah, you know Ray.
Ray here. Ray is actually,
Ray is my cousin.
[laughing]
Well, "Ray", we're going to
have to punch that ghost out
of you and then we can do it all
night long.
Or we can do it first, and then-
Ah, ah, I may be a succubus,
but I'm not a monster.
I would never have sex with a ghost.
Especially one
that opens portals to the spirit realm.
Now, now it's time to ghost punch.
Wait, wait, wait.
Summoning apprentice.
Hold on.
Spirit Hand.
Whoa, hey!
I got her. I got her. I got her. I got her.
I was framed!
I panicked!
I was framed, I want my...
Shh...
Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, hold on.
Pete!
Whoa.
[Vapor sounds]
Uh!
K. Peterson. You are sensual ghost.
Hey, what the hey, Peterson's a ghost.
Ah.
Please don't report us.
Well, I'll be.
Please.
I need your help getting
Pete back in his body.
I don't know. Ms. Raven, what do you think?
I'll do Anything you say.
I know you would.
Alright, I'll do it.
I'm a sucker for love.
[Laughing]
Love?
[Laughing]
Love... no.
No, no, who said anything
about love? No, no.
I'm, I'm just, I, I'm, I'm a nightmare.
And, and nightmares
can't love. And sure I feel
all tingly when he's near me,
but that's, that's only
because I'm having an allergic
Reaction to his stupid cologne.
All right. We'll leave
you two love birds alone.
Bye snowball!
Whatever. Let's just, let's
just get you back so that
I could be your worst nightmare.
It's moving.
OK...
OK, Pete, you're just gonna go ahead
And fly through the portal
and rejoin with your body.
And when you are alive again,
Just give this
rope here a tug and we'll pull you back in.
Got it?
OK...
Good luck.
Pete? [Echoes] Pete... Pete...
It's moving. It's moving. It's moving.
Pull him in!
Come on!
Come on guys!
Come on!
Pete!
Thank you.
Aww.
I'm gonna need to get you a towel.
Oh!
[Laughing]
God... geeze.
That was one crazy ass dream.
Ooh, hot dog. Sweet.
You four were out hours
past your mission time.
Do you know what happens
when you work during the day?
People start to ask questions.
Questions that we cannot answer.
And when we don't answer
them, they start turning
to conspiracy theories on the internet.
The amount of
paperwork, the amount of fires that I have
to put out when
a single Ghost Puncher screws up is a week
out of my life.
And when all four of
you screw up altogether,
well, you can just believe
that I'm going to put you
through hell for the hell that you have
Now put me through.
Do not ever do this again!
Do you understand?
Ms. Frost?
You're this upset because
we were out too late.
Yes. Peterson, is there something else
that I should be upset about?
No. Just making sure.
Get outta my sight.
She's scary when she's angry.
Yeah.
You know, she's slowly killing him. Right?
Lucky bastard.
[Kissing sounds]
Anyway,
what are we gonna do about that portal?
We have to close it and save Delilah.
Yeah. We need to do it stat before
Ms. Foster finds out.
How the hell are we gonna get outta here
without anybody noticing?
We need a diversion.
[Falling crash]
[Moaning Noises]
That'll work.
[Kissing sounds]
You're aware
that she's slowly sucking
him dry of his seed until he
Finally dies?
[Kissing, grunting, moaning sounds]
Best job ever.
What a way to go.
Let's go dummy.
[Kissing sounds]
Wow.
You don't look very inconspicuous.
Yeah, well, I'm not the one who looks like
The world's biggest pen exploded on him.
Ha ha. Very funny.
Will you calm down.
This is New York City baby.
Look, there's a group of break dancers.
A guy in a thong, a
dude in an off brand Elmo
Costume, humping a tourist.
No one's looking at you.
Ms. Shadow.
Hey Mr. Black.
Mr. Black hi.
What are you doing here?
We were just, um, you know.
Uh...
Uh...
Yeah, what he said.
(eh)
- (eh)
Is that a ghost?
Huh?
Shadow. You better,
ma'am I am so sorry, ma'am.
I don't know how that happened.
You pervert
How dare you, pervert.
Don't you touch me.
I'm so sorry!
[Laughing]
You know, for a nightmare.
You haven't been too bad.
Oh. For a dummy,
you haven't been too dumb.
You guys good over here?
Do you need anything?
Oh yeah. Can I just get some extra ketchup?
Yeah. Sure. There you go.
Oh, actually, you haven't been
to the basement lately, have you?
Why you the health inspector?
No.
You know, legally you have to tell me
if you're the health inspector.
Otherwise it's entrapment.
I'm not the health inspector. I was just
curious.
No, I haven't been to the basement.
I'm surprised no one
here has recognized you.
Didn't you work here for like a year?
Four years. Guess I didn't make much
of an impact on these people.
Well, in the last four
days, you've made quite an impact on me.
Never got along this
well with a partner before
Aw, the last bite.
I always savor it. If done correctly
it's the best bite because
when you eat the hot dog,
you hold it at this angle
so that all the juices flow
and gather together in the end.
And they create
this one juicy, glorious, life-changing
bite of wonderful hotdo-
Still a nightmare.
Let's go get your girlfriend. Girlfriend.
You know, "sir",
your suit basically
screams health inspector.
I'm pretty sure-
Cody! We grilled together dude!
Can't be, I grill alone.
Is it just me, or is the
glow brighter than before?
Seems brighter.
I thought ghost only came out at night.
If you paid attention
during training instead
of staring at the succubus, you'd know
that ghosts don't like sunlight.
So basements but kind of their jam.
Oh my God.
Your girlfriend is one crazy lady.
[Mumbling unknown language]
OK, I'll distract her.
You get the punch in.
Okay.
I can do that.
Hey, crazy lady.
You found me, let's play tag.
Not today lady.
Summoning apprentice Spirit Hand
Super Ultra Wind Up Punch!
Would you distract her?
So, uh, what do you get
when you cross a ghost and a...
tough crowd.
Nice try, lady.
Pete!
Shadow what are you doing?
I don't know.
Gimme that.
God, I have to fight one crazy lady.
Now I have to fight you too?
Pete!
Watch out! Up, down, down, up.
Ow.
I hate to break his two pal.
I don't think she likes you.
You think she's gone?
OK... I'll distract her again.
You get the punch in this time.
OK... Got it.
Hey, coo coo puffs.
Hurry up.
Super
Ultra
Wind
Up
Punch
Delilah. Delilah, are you okay?
Delilah? Delilah, are you okay? Delilah?
OW!
You punched me.
You jerk!
What? No. I..
Can't believe it.
How could you?
What's wrong with you? -Let's just
seal up the portal for now
and get her out of here.
OK... "Delilah," do you remember anything
that happened in the past few days?
Not really. I, I remember delivering food
and then suddenly I got punched.
I'm sorry.
So who are you anyway?
And what's up with Kevin's suit?
Oh, a pen exploded on me.
I work with Pete. I mean, Kevin.
Oh, so you work at Wiener Weenies too?
Sure.
Ah, since when?
Okay...
You ask a lot of questions, lady.
The important part is, you
don't remember anything.
So Ms. Frost will never
find out and you can live.
So have a nice life
and see you never. Let's go.
Sorry again... for punching you.
Delilah.
You were possessed by a ghost.
I punched it out of you.
I saved you. I work for an agency
for paranormal combat
called the Ghost Punchers.
We save people. But I did it for you
because I, I care about you.
What are you doing?
Sorry, I had to, I couldn't live
with myself if
she thought I would just hit her like that.
Oh my God.
I just needed you to know. So...
Really?
Why does this all sound
insane, but feels correct?
Zip-a-dee freakin' doo,
you moron. She knows.
Good for you. Except now we're in more
trouble than ever before.
Gah!
I swear between the two of us, you make me
look like a daydream.
Why did I revive you?
Stupid, stupid, stupid.
There is a portal
to Ghost Land that at least 20 other
Ghosts in the city because of it.
I'm living a nightmare.
You are a nightmare.
So aren't you always living a nightmare?
Nightmares can have
nightmares. Like right now,
You are my biggest nightmare.
So I was possessed by a
ghost, you're a nightmare,
and there's a hell portal in the basement?
Okay...
Let's kill her. -What? -What?
She knows way too much.
And I blame you for all of this.
So you have to kill her.
Whoa, whoa, whoa. Nobody's
killing anyone.
Delilah I've liked you
for a really long time
and I've never had the chance to tell you.
So I just needed you to
know that I would never hit you
because, because I,
I... I love you.
I'm still getting over you punching me.
Ok, take a break
Romeo. Wiener lady. You know way too much.
So you can either join
us or we can kill you
and you can blame your stupid face
Punching boyfriend for all this.
OK. I have to see this for myself.
Great.
Welcome to the Ghost Punchers.
She is not a Ghost Puncher.
She's just helping us until
we know what to do with her.
OK. Alright.
There is a gaping hole
into the spirit realm,
and we need to do more
with it than just cover it
With a Skye Hoshi poster.
Let's go fill one big ass hole.
Mr. Peterson.
Ms. Frost would like to, oh no.
What do you mean they're
not in their living quarters?
Where are they? I've
paged the entire building
And I still don't have eyes on
Mr. Peterson or Ms. Shadow.
Hey, you don't have clearance to be here.
Thanks kid.
That's my apple juice.
Hey!
I will deal with this myself.
Excuse me. You Ms. Frost?
Who are you? You do not have clearance
to just walk into my office. Mr...
Name's Kyle. Kyle Peterson.
You are the real K. Peterson.
That's correct. Ex-military
graduate of Berkeley.
Father of three. I won the
MS. FROST & KYLE:
distinguished intelligence
medal few years ago after you/I
Joined the CIA.
It is you.
Intelligence told me
you were looking for me.
Figured I'd pop by
And we could have a chat.
Ms. Frost. -Dismissed.
At last K. Peterson.
Where to begin?
Where indeed.
So there's really ghosts down here, huh?
Yep. -Yep.
Don't worry though, I'll protect you.
[Scoffs]
What's so funny?
Last time you screamed, ran away
and let the ghost get Delilah.
What?
That was one time Shadow that was one time.
Wait...
that is too funny.
You're telling me that my loser
12th place contest brother
joined the Ghost Punchers instead of me?
Ah. Oh my God. That is too good.
Oh, that's too good.
You know I'm surprised he hasn't added
to the ghost population since he joined.
I think there might be
more ghosts than before.
Ya think?
This is so freaky.
Delilah, here. Hold onto this.
It'll repel them.
Thanks Kevin.
I promise. I won't let
anything happen to you.
That's just a myth, Pete.
And I'm pretty sure it's for vampires.
Shadow it's real!
No it ain't. But I'm not
gonna argue with you
'cause we got some work to do.
Summoning apprentice. Spirit Hand!
Oh my God.
Let's do this Pete.
You have got
to release Kevin from the Ghost Punchers.
Ms. Frost. He is helpless.
I can't just release
him. He knows too much.
So he will stay and Serve his city.
Look, Kevin is afraid of everything.
Every girl he ever had a crush on,
He was too afraid to even talk to them.
Now you throw ghosts into this equation?
Kevin's afraid of his own shadow.
Summoning apprentice.
I don't think he even
knows how to make a fist.
Spirit Hand!
What?
Just send him home.
Well he lacks luster. It's true.
But he hasn't been a total disappointment.
Yet.
You gotta take my screw
up brother out of the field
before he destroys the city.
Just replace him with me.
Even if I could just replace him with you.
I don't know where
he is. He broke protocol.
I've lost contact with him
and my team hasn't
been able to find him yet.
Frost, do you know who you're talking to?
I know where everyone
is at all times. Always.
I can find Kevin and you
can relieve him of his duties.
I guess I could pull him from the field.
We do have an
opening in the Ghost Punchers cafeteria.
Perfect. That is just perfect Frost.
You leave it to me and
by the end of the day,
my little brother
will back in the cafeteria selling hot
dogs where he belongs.
And you will have yourself
your best new member.
I did it. I freaking did it.
Great job, Pete.
Let's close this stupid portal.
How the heck are we supposed to close it?
I don't know.
Garlic repels them, huh?
Oh my god, Delilah!
[Screams]
Kevin!
Garlic does work!
Shut up, Pete
Delilah,
Are you okay?
I am. Thank you, Kevin.
Hey, so I've kind of
always had a thing for you.
I know.
Do you want to... go out
for a hotdog sometime?
Does it have to be here?
No. No.
Then I'd love to.
Hey, love birds.
[Thunder claps]
We still got a problem.
Oh no
This doesn't look good.
[Thunder claps]
We gotta close this stupid thing!
How the hell are we gonna do that?
I don't know. We just killed
the ghost that opened it. So-
Wait.
Yes, wait.
What?
So we can't close it from
the outside anymore.
Wait,
Ms. Shadow.
I gotta close it.
Maybe there's another way
to close it. What if we got
Ms. Frost down here and-
Pete, we gotta close this thing,
and we gotta close it fast.
This thing is unstable,
and it's my job to protect-
the city from things like this.
I know what I signed up for.
Ms. Shadow let's talk about this,
maybe I can close it instead.
Or, or, maybe, maybe...
Shadow.
See you in your dreams, Pete.
Peterson.
Ms. Frost?
Kyle?
What is this?
Hi there. Um.
Kevin here just
punched a big scary
ghost and saved my life,
and he punched an
entire room full of ghosts
and saved the city from
an entire ghost outbreak.
You must be outta your mind Peterson.
You fought an entire room
of ghost in your first week?
Where is your partner, Ms. Shadow?
She didn't make it.
I'm sorry to hear that.
She was a good leader and a great comrade.
What's my brother doing here?
Oh, well he's the best in the business,
so he helped me track
you down to this location,
but I think his work here is done.
What?
Yeah, it looks like we already got the
K. Peterson we need.
I'm sorry. Wait. What?
You gotta be a
little crazy to work at the Ghost Punchers.
You could learn
a thing or two from your little brother.
Of course. If you still wanna work
Here, we could have Kevin train you.
Oh, you've got to be kidding.
Okay, let's get one thing abundantly clear.
I will never be taking orders from
Little Loser boy over there.
OK... matter of fact,
you can keep this stupid little
job if you want it that bad.
I'm gonna go back to Central Intelligence.
They've got much better PTO
And their dental is great.
See you at Thanksgiving.
Sorry. Who are you?
Oh, uh, Delilah Dusk.
All right, Ms. Dusk. We have two options.
Since you know too much,
I can either kill you now
or you can work for me
and defend your city
against the paranormal.
Your choice.
Wait but you let him leave
The CIA can keep a secret.
Alright Ms. Dusk, you shake
my hand, you no longer exist.
You join the Ghost
Punchers, you become a ghost to society.
No friends, no family, nothing.
You will serve your organization
alongside your comrades.
Looks like we're coworkers again.
[Applause]
Before me stands a mixture of new recruits
and veterans with lost combat partners.
But you will be lonely no more.
Now's the time to pick new partners.
But remember to choose wisely,
because you will be spending the
Majority of your time together.
And as comrades, you will have each other's
back through the thick of battle.
You'll be sharing your lives together.
Hello Ghost Punchers.
Some of you have
been here for a long time, so this is going
to be review. For the new blood,
listen carefully. Today
you'll be learning from one
of the best and the brightest.
His unique approach
to ghost punching astounded us veterans
and superiors alike.
A legend in his own right,
I'll now pass it over to Mr. Peterson.
Now everyone must keep a clove
of garlic in their pocket at all times.
Garlic has a paralyzing effect.
So in case of emergency,
just whip out this bad boy
and throw it at the ghost.
It also tastes great if on a hot dog minced
Yes you.
I thought garlic was an old
myth. Who are you anyway?
I'm K. Peterson.
You're K. Peterson?
Code name Pete?
I heard you punched 50 ghosts at once.
I heard it was 500.
I heard it was 10,000 ghosts.
[Group argues]
Listen, that's just what I heard.
Alright folks,
let's get ghost punching.
I got a dumb job, It doesn't really pay
I need a good excuse to make a getaway
I'll start a new life
A sense of purpose, maybe even
New shoes and a
really cool catch phrase.
Don't you dare turn back or go home.
Just leap into the giant unknown.
Don't you dare start
Running from your shadow.
I was just a hot dog hero at most.
How'd I get myself caught
up with fighting ghosts?
Everyone's got something
Even if it's one thing
Let it drive your
spirit wherever it'll go.
I was just a normal
guy out on the road.
How does anybody know which way to go?
Summoning apprentice
Spirit hand to end this
Let it drive your
spirit wherever it'll go.
Wherever it may go.
Hey! We're ready to coast.
Ghost Punchers came to punch a ghost!
Hey! We're ready to coast.
Ghost Punchers came to punch a ghost!
I got a new job
I think it's pretty cool
You wouldn't believe
what it was if I told you
Covered in blue stuff
But I can tell you this much
You can touch ghosts
But you're gonna have to punch.
Ghost Punch!
My brother's not on the scene.
You need a hero?
You're gonna have to settle for Pete.
My resume is 5 words,
it'll do in a crunch.
Super ultra wind up punch!
I was just a hot dog hero at most.
Driving for delivery is all I know.
But everyone's got something
Even if it's one thing.
I was just a hot dog hero at most.
How'd I get myself caught
up with fighting ghosts?
Everyone's got something
Even if it's one thing
Let it drive your
spirit wherever it'll go.
Wherever it may go!
Hey! We're ready to coast.
Ghost Punchers came to punch a ghost!
