which is a lot of action.

Ancient religions.

Could I learn how to pilot a car?

Yeah. You know, I don't see why not.

Just have to get you a learner's permit.

Hey, that would be fun.

You're supposed to take a couple classes

and a written test,

but I'd take you out, show you the ropes.

It sounds like the great chimes of enow.

Oh, does it?

Do you want to answer the door?

James.

Just the man I was looking for.

Wait, where's all your soldier stuff?

Huh? I'm off duty right now.

Now look, there's no way I could get you

everything on that list, all right?

But forensics does have more evidence

than they know what to do with.

So, I figured they wouldn't miss

a couple items like...

The sortis crystal!

That's what I thought.

Yeah, and I found this in back.

- It wasn't on the list, but...

- Bortep's staff!

I thought that was stuck in a time flux.

I don't know what that is

but it's got a nice weight to it.

And last but not least,

one of these bad boys.

That's Brigsby.

Yeah? I assumed.

Look, it holds a cassette in the back.

It's nice.

And is... do I get to have it?

You could hold on to it.

All right? I'm not technically supposed

to have this stuff.

So, nothing in public, right?

Thank you.

This is so dope as sh*t.

You're welcome.

Yes!

Very dope as sh*t, huh?

Hey, can you grab some more of the stuff?

- Sure.

- Sorry about that, Mr. pope.

I hope I wasn't intruding today.

No, not at all.

But I will say,

this transition we've been going through

hasn't exactly been easy, as you know.

Oh, I can imagine.

Listen, I'm just trying to help.

That's the thing, actually.

This Brigsby business...

I realize James is a big fan,

but all this stuff...

These aren't collector's items

we're talking about.

These are tools used by very sick people

to imprison my son.

Right.

Of course. I'm sorry. I just...

I just wanted to help him

with this movie of his.

He's making a movie?

What else you got here?

Brizzle wizzle, what?

He's one of the most powerful wizzles,

except for when he works with tizzle!

Sorry.

Quasar.

If we act fast, it should give us

enough power to blast all the way...

See when... if you press play,

it will move with the sound.

- What do you think, gang?

- Isn't that amazing?

- It's dangerous.

- Ah. Wow. Wow.

That is really...

That's really something, huh?

Yeah. Very interesting.

We know what we have to do.

But there's only one way

into the forbidden forest.

I know this one. I know this one.

"We must pass

through the core of the planet."

But isn't that... that's where

the fire gods live, in the fire realm.

Yes, but we must make peace

with the gods of fire.

For the sake of both our worlds.

Aah...

So maybe we do the studies another time?

And I'll head to my room

for the rest of the day.

Are you hungry?

'Cause I can make you a sandwich

and we can listen

to some more briggles bear.

Oh, wait. Why don't we

take a look at the list?

I mean, it's Saturday.

No, thanks.

Yeah, hold on, he's just in his room.

- Oh, my god.

- Sorry. It's me, James.

- Not a real bear.

- What is wrong with you?

Well, I was abducted,

and I feel like that has something...

No. I get it.

Okay, this whole thing is weird enough

without you trying

to hang out with people my age

or embarrass me in front of my friends.

Also, people are saying

you hooked up with merideth.

Okay, do not do that. You're old.

Tell mom you need your own phone.

Okay.

Talk.

- What do you want me to say?

- Into the phone.

Hello?

James, we gotta talk

about these tapes, dude!

- It's Spencer.

- I know.

All right, so first of all

in that last episode... thanks, dude.

All right, so first of all

in that last episode... thanks, dude.

When Brigsby's in that ice planet

right before the federation invades.

Yeah, but that's when

Brigsby reveals the moon base.

Yeah, but it's an old Brigsby

to, like, the future Brigsby.

Yeah. "Hope is not yet lost!"

That's what old Brigsby says to,

well, himself.

It's a piece of art.

It's like this whole TV show

made in a bedroom.

And all the characters

he put into that one universe.

Then at the end of the episode

when sun snatcher melts the peace treaty

before it has time to take effect

that's like really good

storytelling, dude.

You okay?

Yeah... no. That's...

That was one of my favorite parts, too.

Okay, so are you doing an original

or are you doing the same story?

It's basically right where

the show left off.

Snatcher is more powerful than ever.

Galaxy is on the brink of destruction.

The old alliances are broken, and

there's only one bear who can save it.

Guess who?

Brigsby-

so like uh... what happens next?

Okay, so first, pla'torian raiders

come in on their lightships

to Brigsby's cabin in the desert

where he's lived his whole life

and they take his bear parents prisoner.

Then they bring him to a world that

he never even knew existed.

The future light fortress. It is massive!

And that's when it gets complicated.

He got to escape the palace.

He travels to forever mountain

gets the sortis crystal

and then he finally,

finally finds the smiles sisters.

And, for the first time ever,

Brigsby defeats sun snatcher,

once and for all.

And then maybe at some point he gets

his bear parents out of space jail.

'Cause if you think about what they did,

it wasn't even that bad.

Dude, this is insane. It's so good.

Bro, we could use my camera.

We could start shooting

this thing right now. Like...

Brigsby's the only one

in that scene, right?

- Yeah.

- We could shoot that sh*t tomorrow, dude.

- Really?

- Yeah, man.

I actually know a place that looks

just like that an hour and a half away.

And if we just add

some green screen and some props.

I mean, we've got some work,

but it's doable.

Brigsby, what's wrong?

Wait, how did Brigsby get in there?

Oh, yeah, so I uploaded some clips online.

And I was going to send you the link

I know you don't got a vcr or whatever.

And they've...

There are couple hundred views already.

Tight.

So now there are real people

who are watching the show?

Yeah, man. People are going to

want to see this sh*t, dude.

It's pretty awesome if you ask me.

We just got to figure out

the rest of that costume.

And... and you...

And you really want to do this with me?

Yeah, man. I mean, there's not

a lot of stuff like this out there.

And I've never done a whole movie.

So, why not?

And I got a drug test coming up

in a couple weeks,

so I've just been hanging around,

bored as sh*t all the time.

Oh, and we got to do that

Brigsby theme song, right?

Yes!

You're my friend.

Wait, Spence. This is it.

This is what we should use

for the third raid.

Snatcher!

Arielle, the shadow galaxy

is more than 14 neons away.

I will miss all of you when you pass away,

even though you brought this

upon yourselves.

You see, curiosity is

an unnatural emotion.

They're still attacking. Go!

Arielle, the goads aren't working.
