Attention!

Here's our man, Professor Howard Plummer.

He's been kidnapped by a group of Serbian rebels.

I know we've been up for 72 hours, but I expect perfection.

Nothing else.

The enemy has a boat, four jet skis, and a chopper.

I'll take you guys in until we hit radar range, and you'll die from there.

Once we hit our target, Red 1, Red 2, you take out our escorts.

I'll handle the chopper, and I'll find the professor.

Red 3, you radio in for our copter. Do you copy?

Sir, yes, sir.

Do you copy?

Sir, yes, sir.

We are SEALs, and this is what we do.

U .S. Navy.

Where's the briefcase?

It's right behind you.

Man, am I glad to see you.

Those guys... I never thought I'd see my family again. I'll get you out of here.

We're going to do it my way. No highway officers.

Oh, yeah, yeah.

Totally. Absolutely.

Thank you so much for saving my life. If I had died back there, my wife, she

would have killed me.

Just a joke.

Hey, listen, do you mind if I call my wife just to tell her I'm okay?

I have strict orders to get you out of here safely.

We got to keep moving.

Lieutenant, I am safe. Please, she thinks that I'm dead.

All right, make it quick.

Okay.

Zoe, Seth, Lulu, Peter, Tyler.

It's voice activated.

Hey, these are my kids.

You'd like them. They're really great.

I doubt it.

Hurry up.

Hey, we're almost ready.

Give us another sec.

Doctor says you've healed up real good, Shane.

I should have been out of here weeks ago.

Look, I know heads are going to roll for this.

Hey, you took a bullet.

Yeah, but I want you to know I take full responsibility for what happened to the

professor.

Plummer was the best security expert the Department of Defense ever had. He was

working on a program to scramble launch codes that he called GHOST, Guided High

Altitude Scrambling Transmitter. One pulse from a GHOST satellite, a country

can't launch its own nukes.

That's why the Serbians kidnapped him.

They must have thought that Ghost was in that briefcase.

Ghost is still out there.

Which is why I'm sending you back in.

I know you've never lost anybody before, Shane.

Hell, I was with your father when he led a platoon of men. With all due respect,

I'd appreciate it if we kept my father out of this. All I'm saying is that it

happens to the best of them.

And you're the best.

I need someone I can trust in this.

And I know I can trust you.

Okay.

I'll put a team together.

No.

It's not that kind of mission. This is at the top of the Pentagon's priority

list.

Two days ago, I got a call from Admiral Blair.

It seems that the professor's widow contacted him.

Whoever killed her husband must think that Ghost is still in that house.

Now, maybe it is, maybe it isn't.

A safety deposit box has been discovered in Zurich in the plumber's name.

And I've been assigned to escort Mrs. Plummer there to retrieve the contents.

We're hoping it's the ghost program.

In the meantime, someone needs to watch over those kids.

That's where you come in.

While you're there, you'll be looking for the hidden program as well.

Oh, Blair said you'd be coming.

Come on in. Meet the rest of the gang.

Come on.

Kids, get your butts down here and say hello.

Okay, you've already met Lulu.

This is Zoe, Seth, and Peter.

Kids, this is Lieutenant Wolf.

He's the man who's going to be staying with you while I'm away.

Hi.

Hi.

Oh, this is Helga and Tyler.

Ma 'am.

Baby. That's a pretty dress.

Thank you.

I have date with butchers tonight. I want to look nice.

You have

a pleasant family.

Well, for the younger ones, I think it hasn't really sunk in yet.

It's been hardest on Zoe and Seth.

but they don't really like to talk about it.

It must be hard on all of you. Well, Howard wasn't around much.

His work took him all over the world. He'd be gone six, seven months at a

Yeah, I can understand that lifestyle.

Anyway, about a week ago, someone broke into the house.

No one was home.

I didn't tell the kids because I didn't want to scare them.

Mrs. Plummer, I've dealt with... Oh, my God!

I'm sorry.

That's Gary.

He was Howard's. Gary, down.

He bit me.

Yeah, well, he thinks he's a guard dog.

Mrs. Plummer.

Oh, call me Julie, please.

I'm going to go outside and have a look around.

I'm gonna

miss

you. I'm gonna miss you too.

I'll be back in 48 hours, okay?

Bye, pumpkin.

Bye, pumpkin.

Oh, and kids, remember, whatever Lieutenant Wolf asks you to do, do it.

Mom, chill. We're going to be fine.

I'm sorry. It's just that I don't do this very often.

You're only going to wait for a few days.

Yeah.

Here you go. I dig, baby.

Bye.

You remember the emergency numbers, right?

Don't worry about it, Mrs. Plumber. Your kids will be safe with me.

Your little angels will be fine, Mrs. Plumber.

Bye -bye. Bye.

Have some fun.

Bye -bye.

Are you licensed to kill?

No, ma 'am. Too bad.

It could have come in handy.

Where's the baby?

Is

there

anyone here that understands the meaning of the word discipline?

Hey, flipper, you don't like it? Do something.

I'm a bottle.

No problem, man. Get off me. Oh, my God.

No, what are you doing? You're the spouse of my boyfriend.

So you're the one that's been breaking in. Go back inside.

We speak

English, buddy.

Look, about the sirens and the stove lights, we own a bakery, so we're up

of early. Would you mind?

We found this in our pool filter.

Try to keep that zoo reined in, huh, babysitter?

Yo, fool, handle me like that again and I'll be forced to lay knuckles upside

your head. Okay, enough is enough. Come on, Scott, let's go.

Come on. No, you don't.

Get back here.

Give me 20.

I meant push -ups.

So? Drop down, do 20.

Okay, this is not the Army or the Navy.

Real nice move, Lieutenant Smooth.

Now he'll probably never speak to me.

Then I did you a favor. Whoa!

Personal bubble invasion.

Your mother was worried sick about you. You should call her and tell her the

truth. Well, I'm sure you'll take care of that for me.

Stay out of my life.

Wait,

you can't do this. I have plans. It's Saturday night.

Not anymore.

You too. Lights out.

Don't bite me.

Boy, this family's in for a rude awakening.

Don't make a move till you're in the groove and do the Peter Panda dance.

Just hop three times like a kangaroo.

Side step twice, just like a kangaroo.

What are you doing?

You're burning daylight. Move.

It's Sunday.

And it's 6 a .m. You're insane.

Listen up.

Your behavior is unacceptable.

In order to maintain a state of safety, we need to maintain a state of order.

Why are we going to be strong mind workers when we grow up?

Excuse me!

Now,

I've only got one rule.

Everything is done my way. No highway option.

Do you copy? Do you copy? What?

I said, do you copy?

What? I said, do you copy? Do not copy me.

Do not copy me. Hey, I mean it. Cut it out. Hey!

Quiet!

Everybody up. That means you too.

Tracking devices.

Never take them off.

The panic button is for emergencies only.

Touch that, you'd better be dying.

Or you're dead.

I would rather chew off my arm than wear that.

Just because my mom is paranoid doesn't mean that we have to take orders from

you. Let me explain to you how the chain of command works.

I tell you what to do.

And you do it. End of chain.

I'm not going to have time to remember all of your names.

You'll be Red Leader, Red Baby, Red One, Red...

Where's the older male?

There are five.

He walks like Dracula, with footsteps silent like death.

He's in his room.

Red 2!

Red 2, open up!

Red 2!

What have you done?

What? I thought... Is this what you're trained to do?

A shock and awe in my door?

Hey, I can fix that with a hammer and some nails. It's really easy. No, it's

not. Look it. It's broken in half.

You can't fix that.

If you'd been wearing this, this wouldn't have happened.

What are you talking about?

I was in the bathroom.

You know I would never ask you for your help.

But he has got to go.

Good soldiers aren't scared of anything.

I'm not scared.

I'm annoyed.

Ever since we heard Daddy say there was a ghost in the house, he puts on that

blanket and chases me everywhere. It drives me crazy.

Peter, have you seen this ghost?

on floor in bathroom.

I pick up after kids, not you.

And light a match next time.

I

have

good news. Your background checks have cleared and we are free to give you the

box. Excellent.

Just as soon as you provide us with the passwords.

Passwords? It was your husband's wish that the person who comes and collects

box must provide us with the passwords.

Wait.

Is it the ghost?

Ghost? No.

I said it!

Remain quiet. come.

I don't come.

I quit.

Don makes me come.

Let's not be hasty about this.

Hello?

Hello? Don't even think about it. Hello?

Lieutenant Walton?

Julie Plummer.

Who's this?

Julie Plummer. What's that?

Julie Plummer.

Oh,

Mrs. Plummer. Did something fall?

What was that noise? Oh, no, no, nothing.

Everything's okay.

You'll be happy to know that I found the culprit that's been sneaking around

your house.

Great. Who was it? Oh, just some teenager.

Teenager? Okay.

I wanted to tell you I'm going to be a few more days.

You're going to be a few more days?

Mrs. Plummer. Yeah, you just do whatever you have to.

Okay, well... Bye, Mrs. Plummer!

Calm down.

She'll come back, huh?

Okay, everybody, listen up.

There's been a change of plans.

Your mother's not coming home as soon as she expected.

When is she coming back?

Soon. So for now, we'll just have some more big fun. That's what we've been

doing.

Having fun.

But tomorrow's a school day.

I have wrestling practice.

I need a signed release for driver's ed. I've got Firefly. I have to go to the

mall. There's this new halter top on sale. I have to stop a baby. Whoa, okay,

okay, halt.

Halt.

We'll take this hill one inch at a time.

Only then can we rise to the challenge.

Okay, who's gonna change with baby?

Guys?

Zoe says you look like the Hulk.

I think you're cute.

Thank you.

Did you come through?

Yes. Did you ever punch someone so hard that their head came off?

No.

Why are your boobs so big?

They're not boobs.

Do you have to wear a bra?

as big as yours someday.

You know, little girl, I think it's time you went nappy -boo in belly -by -land.

Do I look like I'm five to you?

What did I say?

Disrespectful. And to think I was interested in you.

Okay, troops.

Breakfast.

What are you waiting for? Dig in.

Feel free to mix and match.

Stay away from the cheese. It'll back you up for a month. And don't worry

running out. I can get lots more of these.

I've survived months off this stuff.

Okay, Blake, I'm really going to eat all of these carbs.

I can cross my eyes. Want to see?

No.

Tyler hates it when I do that.

I know how he feels.

Plumber resident.

Yes, I know it's Monday today.

No, Mrs. Plumber is away.

Yes, we'll be right there.

your vice principal.

He said that if you and Seth are late again, you're both suspended.

He wants to see you in his office right away.

Where is it?

It's a minivan.

Now, is this supposed to... How do we... Excuse me, Mr. Wolf?

If you don't hurry up, we're going to be late for sure.

Not on my watch.

Hold that.

How fast is your watch?

You'll be suspended for sure.

Yeah, I always said these kids needed a parole officer.

I guess Mrs.

Plummer thought so, too, huh?

Well, you got a real upper torso going on, huh?

You ever do any time?

Sasquatch.

You got something to say, boy?

No. No?

Good.

Well, looks like you have a pair of legs coming out of your shoulders.

You hit the gym a lot, do you?

Holy mammoth.

All right, you know what, Creeper? You just bought yourself an extra 15 minutes

on the mats with the Merninator.

Excuse me.

Lieutenant Shane Wolfe. I'm watching the kids for the plumbers.

He does.

Oh, babysitter, huh?

Well, good. Whatever job you can get, right?

I'm Mernie.

Dwayne Mernie.

My friends call me Little Puppet.

I'm the VP here.

I'm in charge of discipline.

conduct, and truancy from top to bottom, K through 12.

You're in my house now, strong man.

You're the vice principal and the wrestling coach.

See the creeper over there?

He has played hooky from every wrestling practice this month. And her? She has

missed 22 driver's ed classes.

I had 23!

These are the worst students in my school.

I'm ashamed.

Good morning, kids.

Mr. Morney, thank you so much for watching my chair for me. I'll take it

here. Roger that.

Absolutely. I was just informing our new friend here about some of the duties as

vice principal. Yes, speaking of which, how's it going with the investigation

into the bologna slices and the cafeteria ceiling?

Oh, that's been taking some interesting turns. You just keep up the good work.

Right.

I'll be on the roof.

All right then, kids. I think it's time to get back to class.

I'll cut you some slack today, seeing as it's Lieutenant Wolfe's first day.

Thank you.

Can I get you some coffee?

Yes, please.

So what's with this Merninator?

He's big, he's hairy, he's sometimes smelly, but he's harmless and he has

tenure.

So, you're the bodyguard.

Well, Mrs. Plummer thought that the kids needed... She's already briefed me on

everything and...

She told me that the kids aren't fully aware of the situation, and that's the

way she wants it.

She also told me you're a team's guy.

Yes, I am.

Wow.

Petty Officer Third Class Claire Fletcher at your service.

You're kidding.

Four years at Naval Base Coronado, they paid for college.

Honor, courage.

Commitment. It's the way I run this school.

I like that.

So, permission to stick around and keep eyes on the kids?

Permission granted.

Black belt, honorable discharge.

Clean as a whistle.

Hey!

Enough.

All right, you heard the lady. Let's break it up, guys. Come on.

Relax, Popeye.

Boys will be boys, huh?

Anyway, it's kind of good for the creeper.

Gives him a chance to punk up.

Learned to defend himself.

Six against one?

Well, you know, the odds are never pretty.

But look at it as like a preparation form.

You know, the naked streets of Bethesda could be so dark and dangerous.

Right, Creeper?

Whoa.

You're pretty quick there, Frogman.

I myself happen to be a black belt.

That's why they wanted me to be the coach of the wrestling team.

Sensei.

You know what that's called, homeboy?

Total control.

You all right?

Tell you what, maybe sometime you can pop by the wrestling class and we'll

the boys how a couple pros do it. What do you think? I'll go easy on you.

I'm on duty.

You're on duty.

Oh, that's right. That's right. You're a babysitter.

So it's kind of like doo -doo duty.

Don't worry about it.

We'll do it on a day when you're not washing your hair.

And I'll see you in class.

That guy don't have his head on right.

I was fine.

I don't need your help.

Hey,

rough day?

I tried feeding him.

Yeah? Did you try changing him?

Would you help me?

No. Just a thought of.

Emergency.

I should go, okay? Just call me, you guys, if you need anything. The number's

the fridge.

Are you okay?

Oh.

Wow.

Is there anything I can do?

I'm okay.

Okay. Can I get you anything?

I'm fine.

I mean, they're just kids, you know.

Call me if you need anything, okay?

After your shower or before. It doesn't matter. Okay. I'll see you guys.

I told you he had boobs.

Lulu, can I see you in the family room?

Who are those people?

My troop. It's Monday.

Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday are troop nights.

All right, get rid of them.

I can't.

Everyone's parents go out on troop nights, and they won't be back till 8.

Mom's our den mother.

You better tell your little friends that they have to.

They were supposed to sell cookies.

I don't do cookies.

We have to.

If we don't sell enough cookies, we can't go to the jamboree.

They're waving at me.

All right, ladies.

Here's how it's going to be.

Tonight, I'm your den mother.

That means if you want to live to see tomorrow, you do exactly as I say. Do we

understand each other?

Then, Mother, you frighten me.

Good.

Now, let's move out.

Kind of a dork, but he's okay.

And how's Helga doing? Oh, Helga's fine.

When are you getting home? I'm sorry this is taking so long. Look, Mom, I'd

to stay and chat all day, but I have homework to do.

Fireflies?

Please,

leave us alone.

This is Troop 16 territory.

How are we supposed to sell raffle tickets if this place reeks of your

cookies?

Where are my troops?

Lula,

what happened?

Those boys over there broke our cookies.

Broke your cookies?

Mm -hmm. Lula, this is not a toy.

Forget those boys.

I am here to protect you, not cookies.

Understand?

Good. Now get in the car.

We're all going home. Wait. You can't take us home yet. You're supposed to

us to get something to eat.

Where do you usually go?

Welcome to Woody Wood...

Lulu, watch your brother.

Inexcusable. I've never left a man behind.

Oh, relax.

Once we found a kid in the ball pool when we opened in the morning.

Whoa, whoa.

Not cool.

There is no freestyling in the ball pool.

Should we send someone in after it?

What are you doing? What's wrong with this?

We need to talk. Don't hate the player, girl. Hate the game.

Eat it.

Party's over.

Oh, my God, it's here.

You're all going to clean this house spotless.

No highway option.

Now get cleaning.

I'm out of here.

Oh, no, you don't.

This is my favorite shirt.

Thank you.

Seth, you've been in there for an hour.

Thanks a lot, Lieutenant Loser.

Now I'm gonna be the school joke.

I don't even know what I'm gonna say to my friends.

You call those people your friends?

They have no respect for you. They have no respect for your home.

You have no respect for yourself.

I do, too, respect myself.

Company downstairs, and that means you, too. You're not my dad.

In case you haven't noticed... This family is going through a really hard

and you're just making everything a lot worse.

You have no feelings.

We hate you, and you hate us.

So why don't you just leave us alone?

Don't worry. When your mom comes back, I'm gone.

Now what?

She's gone.

Run! Take the baby! Go to your room!

After the program that your father invented.

They were after this.

All right, all right. Come on, guys. Let's hope this is it.

926 -31043.

926 -31043.

You want our ghost movie?

Haven't they ever heard of Blockbuster?

So there really are people out there to get us.

Yes, there are, Sally.

That's why I'm here.

I think we're going to need a little more cooperation.

From now on, you listen to me, and I'll listen to you, too.

Deal?

Relax. Relax.

If you just relax. I'm relaxed.

You've got to relax. Please.

I'm not feeling well. Here.

Okay,

so she wrecked the driver's head car. The insurance will pay for it. They were

parallel parking.

The instructor jumped from the car.

But it's not about her. It's about the boy.

Has he been skipping class again? Skipping class?

He always skips sixth period, but this is... Seth!

Okay, take off the hat.

Look at that.

That's how we showed up for practice today. And that's not all. I was doing a

little recon in his locker, and I found this.

Okay?

All right, now, if it was a girly magazine or a hamster, fine.

Boys will be boys.

But this is sick.

All right, he died this year. He's not a Nazi.

This is not normal. We're very concerned.

All right, kids, why don't you get back to class?

Mr. Murdy, could you give me a minute?

Look, I'm sure this is about their father. We've tried to get Seth and Zoe

talk to the school psychologist, but they won't.

Maybe you can get through to them, see what's going on.

I'll talk to them and see what I can do.

Thanks.

Seth, I don't understand unless you explain it to me.

Why would you join the wrestling team if you hate it? I did it because my father

wanted me to.

Look, I know you're just trying to help, but don't.

I can take care of myself.

Refrigerator magnet.

Red One!

Zoe, you're in charge.

Anyone gets within 40 clicks of the perimeter, signal me. Keep all doors

do your homework, preheat the oven, and don't let Lulu in the cookie jar.

All right.

All my Nazis are finally here.

I want all of you at attention.

Okay, let's start where we left off yesterday.

You are 16 going on 17. Baby, it's time to think.

Better be wary, canny and careful.

Baby, you're on the brink.

You are 16 going on 17. Fellows will fall in love.

We open in a week, people.

The set isn't finished.

Mother Abbott's just quit because she got shingles.

And every step ball change would make Bob Fosse rise from the grave just so he

could have a heart attack again.

I'm really sorry. Get it right. No, you won't, Seth.

You and your mother over here can't get it right. And I know this because I am a

professional. I directed Showboat with Greg Brady.

It wasn't union, but it was good.

Obviously, I quit.

Exeunt, stage right.

Seriously, Seth?

If you drop me again, I'm going to kill you.

Hi. Are you okay?

I'm fine.

I'm not going to quit.

I don't expect you to understand.

I may not understand a whole hell of a lot about this kind of stuff, but I

definitely understand not quitting.

And from what I see, you're pretty good.

A little discipline, you can make a go of this.

But what about Mernie? What about Mernie? Is it all talk Spanish?

So the sound of music, I saw it when I was a kid.

Really? The idea of a nun ditching a habit for a guy in the military.

Nothing wrong with that.

Do you think girls will think I'm weird?

I think they probably already do, sir.

But you'll kill them later.

Come here.

Forget about everyone else for a second.

Is performing what makes you happy?

Yeah, more than anything.

I've fallen.

Company! Center stage!

Company! Center stage!

Now, do you or do you not have what it takes to perform this musical?

We don't have a director.

I've directed rescue missions all around the world.

I've directed numerous snatch and grabs.

From countries whose names you were not allowed to know.

I've choreographed multi -pronged amphibious landings and stealth air

Do you think I have the military proficiency to direct

this production?

Yes. Yes what?

Yes, sir!

Once upon a time, there was a family of elves.

And one day, the little elf family went into the

magic forest to find a secret gnome

facility where the gnomes were turning mushrooms

into uranium.

So three elves laid down heavy suppressive fire on the gnomes while the

others...

maneuvered around to the right flank, finishing off anything left alive.

And not one of those elves were left behind that day.

We got them all.

Even the teeniest, littlest elf of all.

You're going to have to do the panda dance or you won't stop.

Oh, come on.

I don't know how to do the panda dance.

I'll write it down for you.

Close your eyes. Go to sleep. I'll be right back.

You got to do the dance.

Like Dad used to do.

He made it up for him.

You have to do the dance to make him sleep.

Come on.

When you're down and low.

Lower than the floor.

And you think that you ain't got a chance.

Boom, boom.

Don't make a move till you're in the groove.

Lulu.

Seth.

Zoe. Today you drive.

But I can't even pass driver's ed.

Exactly.

We're all gonna die.

Have you ever given a driving lesson before?

In a minivan, no.

But think of it like a Bradley assault vehicle.

Yeah, especially when Zoe's driving.

Zoe, plumber! Zoe, what are you doing?

What are you...

I think it went well. Oh, it's so dramatic.

Hey, hey, hey, no fighting.

Play nicely.

Hi.

Hey, how are you?

I wanted to tell you I've noticed an improvement in the Plummer kids, and I'm

very impressed.

Yeah, you know, they're just misunderstood.

Peter, careful.

Don't make me come up there.

Someone just needs to take the time to talk to them.

Sounds like you're getting a little attached.

I take my job very seriously.

Uh -huh. But it's like you said.

They're just kids.

Well, keep up the good work.

Oh.

You look very nice today.

Oh.

Thanks.

Okay.

I've had it. I caught the kid dancing under the bleachers to no music.

I want him out of my class. Somebody's got to give this punk a talking to.

Sad?

What, you got something to say?

Twinkle toes?

Yeah.

Yeah, I do, Mernie.

I quit.

You quit?

You know why you quit?

Because you're a quitter.

And everybody knows that quitters... quit.

What are you scared of, huh, Prancer?

I'm not scared.

I want to act.

And I want to take up origami.

I'm in The Sound of Music.

Oh, a musical.

So you're giving up wrestling to be in a musical. You see, that's what happens

when there isn't a man in the house.

There is a man in the house.

It's me.

Well,

it's got to be a tiny house.

You think you're a tough boy, don't you?

Want to shave the tiger, do you?

Where'd you want to do this?

What are you talking about, babysitter?

You said you wanted to wrestle.

Where?

When?

After school.

Okay.

Today? That's right.

The gym.

Remember, you mess with the bull, you get the horns.

Out of my way.

How'd that feel?

It was good.

How's the pay?

What do you say we go over the rules, cue ball?

Huh?

Rule number one.

Never be too eager to rush your opponent.

Want to play prison rules, frog man?

Want to play prison rules? You got it.

I'll be your daddy.

In this position, it's relatively easy to manipulate your opponent.

Thus, we have the chicken wing.

The arm bar.

The crowbar.

Or my personal favorite.

Anything you didn't understand?

Ah,

the nipple crippler.

This is a useless, not to mention shameless move that ultimately is a sure

of desperation.

you're down and low lower than the floor and you feel like you ain't got a

chance boom boom boom don't make a move till you're in the groove and do the

peter panda dance just hop three times like a kangaroo

sidestep twice just like the crabs two three steps forward

one step back quick like Like a turtle lie on your back.

Roll like a log till you can't roll no more.

Better jump quick like there ain't no floor. Hold your breath.

Jump to the left. And that's the Peter. I swear that's the Peter.

That's the Peter Panda dance.

Good night, Peter Pender.

Good night, Daddy.

Good night, little fella.

Good night.

Hey,

Steve -er.

What do you put in a jar and shake until they're dead?

Fireflies?

Go away.

We won't hurt you.

think about.

two weeks. This is a matter of national security.

Well, I am sorry, sir, but none of these answers ring true.

Howard, I'm so stupid.

Is it my angel?

Yes, it is indeed.

Well,

I'll leave you to your business.

Yes.

Please, Howard.

No more surprises.

Zoe, a rookie sniper could drop you like a deer.

Good.

Good?

All right, this is about Scott again.

No, it's not.

You're right about him.

He's a stupid guy.

So what's wrong?

Nothing.

Nothing?

You know, when I was little, my mom left.

My dad was a spec ops soldier like me.

When I was eight, he shipped me off to military school.

I guess I liked being a soldier more than I liked being a dad.

One day I get a letter.

No more dad.

It's terrible.

The thing is, for a long time I thought that if I talked about it, I was letting

him down.

Like I was supposed to be brave or something.

Yeah.

It's okay to talk about your dad, Zoe.

I do miss him.

So much.

I don't know, I just... I want to be strong for Lulu and Tyler and Peter and

Seth and my mom.

Such a big burden to carry.

Yeah. Seth.

Seth. Guess what? Mom's coming home. When?

Tomorrow. She's coming home tomorrow.

When did you talk to her?

Mom is coming home.

Here, buddy. Mommy's coming home.

Mom's coming home.

Here? Uh -huh.

Mom's coming home?

Mommy's coming home.

Here,

buddy. Are you excited? Mommy's coming.

Wait, Zoe. When is she going to be here?

Mommy's coming home, buddy. So what are we going to do?

We should make her something.

Complete the entire house. We should make a banner too.

Yeah.

Book got stuck?

Are you ready? Yeah.

Yes?

Hey, it's Shane.

I have excellent news. I think I found Ghost.

Do you have it?

No, it's in a steel vault. It needs some sort of two -pronged key.

I've been working on it all night, but it's tough.

Great. Good work, Shane.

We're on our way to the airport. Don't do anything further.

I'll be there soon.

Yes, sir.

The good news is, once I give this to my CO, whoever's been bothering you ain't

gonna be bothering you anymore.

Really? Really.

What's wrong, Lulu?

Your mother's coming home. You should be happy.

But, Gene, doesn't that mean you have to go?

You guys should go upstairs and get ready. Your mother will be home soon.

I had a fight with Zoe before I left, so they probably trashed the place.

Welcome home, Mom.

Hi. Hi.

Cory.

I am so proud of you. I truly am. I am going to give you your choice of

assignment.

Anywhere you want to go, you just name it.

Well,

I appreciate that.

But I have to think about it.

You're going to have to think about it?

Well, the military is all I've ever known.

I have no regrets.

I should hope not.

It's just that being with this family, I've never had a family. Put your hands

up!

Chums?

Give it to me, Bill. I swear to God I checked them out.

Give us the key.

Put your hands up!

Okay.

All right.

Here.

Now!

You promised us ghosts

months ago.

I'm sorry. There were delays.

Shit!

Stop talking.

Shane's not going to be babysitting you anymore.

I trusted you.

Howard trusted you.

You've betrayed us, and you've betrayed this country. Guess what?

North Korea pays better.

Sean, watch them. They're squirming.

You too. Come with me.

Did you bring the stethoscope, Mrs. Charles?

No, but I've got some C4.

I just had my eyebrows done.

Quiet! Quiet, you little bug!

Hold on. I got it.

Shane. Shane.

Where's Mom?

Mom. I'll find her. You guys run and get help.

Help. Hurry.

Are you sure you're going to be okay?

Yes, Lulu.

Go. Get help.

Great. The only time you actually don't have your cell phone. We're going to be

okay.

Oh,

my

God. What do we do?

Find a cop.

You heard the baloney bandit has struck again. I accept total responsibility. My

intelligence, well, it was faulty. If I had better resources...

I

told you not to pass

her in driver's ed.

You have exactly three seconds to get me through this minefield.

One...

Bill. She doesn't know.

And you're not taking another parent away from those kids.

Now leave the family alone and I'll get you in. You better not be bluffing.

Zoe. Seth.

Lulu.

I saw Mr. Plummer use it to open the briefcase. You think this is a game?

Code or no code?

Open it.

Now. You can't make him do this. I know, Howard. You haven't got a chance.

Don't make a move till you're in the groove.

Do the Peter Panda dance.

Hop three times like a kangaroo.

Side step twice and fight the crab. Two, three, step forward.

One, step back. Quick like a turtle. Lie on your back.

Roll like a log till you can't no more.

Quick, like there ain't no book!

Close your book!

Step to the left!

And that's a Peter Pan to dance.

All right.

Go.

Yeah, right.

Okay, I'll go first.

Great work, Shane. I knew you'd figure it out.

I think you'd better open it.

No, no, no. Wait, wait, wait, wait. Back away.

You open it.

Come on.

I walked the floor first.

No way. You can do it, soldier man.

She was never a good neighbor.

Calm down.

Everybody, put your weapons down.

I want the ghost.

Calm down.

It's just a duck.

Where's the ghost? I have it here.

Okay, duck whisperer. Step away.

Gary, now!

Couldn't let you have all the fun.

So I guess you'll be taking off now, huh?

Seems there's no reason to stick around anymore.

I'm still here, aren't I?

Yeah.

What now?

I don't know.

I'm on dry land.

True.

Which means you're the superior officer.

True.

So you tell me.

Lulu.

Excuse me, ma 'am. Could I have a few words with you, please? Sure.

Well, we, you know... We'll talk later.

Mission accomplished, soldier.

I suppose it is.

I guess you'll be leaving us now.

I guess so.

I want you to have this.

Because I don't want you ever to forget me.

I will never forget you.

Because you're the best friend I ever had.

No matter how far a long life takes me away, I will

always be thinking about you.

I love you, Shane.

I love you too.

From now on, it's your command.

At ease, soldiers.

Your father would be so proud of all of you.

Look who just woke up.

Shane? Yes?

Are we ever going to see you again? What are you talking about?

We still have one more mission.

You are 16 going on 17. Baby, it's time to think.

Better beware, be canny and careful.

Baby, you're on the brink.

You are 16 going on, 17 fellows will fall in line.

Eager young lads in rowways and cabs will offer you food and wine.

Climbers mountain, for every

stream.

You have a hood on your hands.

You think so? Mm -hmm.

Maybe you should take over the drama department instead of the wrestling

It's going to be nice having you around now.

Now that Mernie's found his true calling.

It's going to be my pleasure serving with you.

Every morning, I wake up just the same.

Another victim of ordinary things.

I don't see myself as invincible.

It's not true at all.

I'm just your average, ordinary, everyday superhero.

Trying to save the world, but never really sure.

I'm just your average, ordinary...

Superhero, nothing more than that.

That's all I really am.

Lost a day job, but someone's got to do.

It's time to heart, whenever one looks up to you.

Try to make it look easy, gonna make it look good, like it.
