Egon Spengler "Well. That doesn't sound good."

Peter Venkman "Is it my turn to lead?

I don't want to jump in front."

The Chairman cackles.

Ray Stantz "Hello, Chairman.

Ready to get what's coming to you?"

The Chairman absorbs some PKE and swells up.

Ray Stantz "Kidnapping is a class-1 felony, and

we do not tolerate it in our jurisdiction!

Get him!!

It's got to have a weak spot somewhere!"

Egon Spengler "Aim for the big yellow eye!

Hit the eye with everything you've got!"

The Chairman is dispersed.

Ray Stantz "Nice work!"

Egon Spengler "That's how it's done!"

Walter Peck "I should've shuttered you fraudulent

gangsters forever when I had the chance! You know what?

I'm going to put an end to this madness now! Right now!

I'm shutting down your containment grid for good! You can

kiss off a permanent license, not to mention any chance for

more government contracts! You did this to me, and you're going to pay!"

Ray Stantz "You're welcome, you Peck."

Walter Peck "Alright! That's it! That's it, you're done, smart guys!

You are done, smart, cool guys! I have the authority and I am shutting

you and your phony containment grid down NOW! The whole city will have

to pay because of your shenanigans. The whole city!"

Peter Venkman "What? But that shuts you down, too."

Walter Peck "Well, so be it! I have bigger fish to fry.

And get him off me!"

Egon Spengler "I think we need to keep an eye on him."

Peter Venkman "Ya think?"

Egon Spengler "No. I mean, we really need to keep an eye on him.

11. Cinematic Six (Between Level 5 and Level 6)

===============================================

Firehouse.

The next morning (indicated by Slate on answering machine)

Ilyssa Selwyn "You're real heroes."

Peter Venkman "Kinda routine.

As usual, I led the charge."

Ray Stantz "We're fired heroes.

Peck's gonna pull our license."

Peter Venkman "Get real, Ray. It's the holidays!

Nobody in this town is gonna be around to pull our

license till Monday. We got the whole weekend to stop

this calamity and probably half a dozen others, save

the city. We got a four day weekend! We have time left for ourselves."

Janine Melnitz "Dr. Venkman if they start evacuating Manhattan

I won't be coming in on Monday.

Catastrophic exodus of the city does not count

as a floating holiday. I know, I looked it up."

Ray Stantz "What does this symbol mean?"

Winston Zeddemore "Uh, guys..."

Winston readjusts the Mandala map.

Winston Zeddemore "Perfect fit."

Ray Stantz "It's not a constellation. It's a mandala."

Ilyssa Selwyn "I can't believe I never saw it before."

Peter Venkman "Ok, for one minute pretend someone

here doesn't know what a Mandala is."

Egon Spengler "A mandala is like a spiritual labyrinth."

Ray Stantz "And this one looks like a spiraling system

that feeds into each successive node along the line until

it reaches a culmination point. Before he died, Shandor

must have set some mechanism in place similar to the

antenna in Dana's building."

Peter Venkman "You know, I think you helped to make

that clearer. So this was the gizmo that's supposed

to feed energy to the destructor form?"

Ray Stantz "That's...that's right, Peter!"

Ilyssa Selwyn "Well! Dr. Venkman!"

Peter Venkman "Well I had to get one right eventually.

Didn't I? I mean, it's just math."

Egon Spengler "Alright, I'm just speculating but it's

possible Ghosts are trapped in the system funneled from

node to node, and they get stronger and stronger, until

they reach the end, and then they..."

Ray Stantz "Look! The first portal, the library.

The second...the museum. And the third...the Sedgewick."

Egon Spengler "And that means the fourth

portal must be...right...here."

Winston Zeddemore "The middle of the Hudson River?"

Ray Stantz "Well, according to the mandala, yes."

Egon Spengler "It may need a little tweaking."

Peter Venkman "I don't know, plenty of bodies

in that river to become ghosts."

Ilyssa Selwyn "But what does this have

to do with me? What did I do?"

Ray Stantz "You were at the museum and the Sedgewick."

Egon Spengler "Maybe you were some sort of catalyst...

accidentally setting things in motion."

Ilyssa Selwyn "You're saying this is my fault?"

Peter Venkman "You are blameless! What Egon meant to say was

that you have some sort of connection to this thing and we're

gonna go back to the Sedgewick and find out what. Isn't that right, brainiac?"

Egon Spengler "That's right, Peter."

Ray Stantz "Ilyssa, do you remember where

you were going when you were at the Sedgewick?"

Ilyssa Selwyn "I was standing outside a room... 1221.

Something was compelling me to go in, but I woke up just

before the door opened. I ran out of there as fast as I could.

And then some jerk tried to pick me up on the elevator."

Peter Venkman "Okay, you need to stay here, where it's safe, and

where you can't set off any more crossdimensional shockwaves, hot

stuff. Here, read up on the mandala, and the boys will check out the Sedgewick."

Winston Zeddemore "The boys? And what about you, superstar?"

Peter Venkman "I'm gonna have you drop me off near Peck's office.

Something tells me he's not quite what he seems."

Ray Stantz "Good idea. Meet us at the hotel when you're done."

Ecto 1-b leaves the Firehouse. It arrives at the Sedgewick Hotel.

Winston Zeddemore "Whoa. If this place were

any more dead, we'd need a coroner."

Ray Stantz "Egon used to be a licensed coroner."

Winston Zeddemore "No kidding?"

Egon Spengler "It's just a hobby now."

They see a paper on the front entrance doors.

Winston Zeddemore "Closed until further notice by

the Paranormal Contracts Oversight Commission."

Ray Stantz "PCOC!"

Winston Zeddemore "Entrance into this establishment is

strictly forbidden and is punishable by fine and imprisonment."

Egon Spengler "What now? Hmm."

Ray Stantz "This notice is for the general public.

It doesn't apply to us. We're bonded contractors for the city!"

Winston Zeddemore "Especially the Ghostbusters."

Egon tears up the notice.

Ray Stantz "Alright, heat 'em up. We'll melt our way in."

Egon Spengler "Wait! I have a better idea."

Egon opens the door.

Winston Zeddemore "Good thinking."

Inside...

Egon Spengler "Hmm. This is disappointing."

Winston Zeddemore "No. Disappointing is the Jets

losing in the last two minutes. Not being covered

in slime by phantom ghouls out to kill us...

doesn't exactly make me reach for a hanky.
