a noise from downstairs and discovers burglars have entered the house.
The rest of the family awakens and flee to Peter's self-built panic
room in the attic and begin to monitor what the robbers are doing
through hidden cameras. Due to the room not having a telephone or an
inside door handle, they cannot escape, and Peter begins to tell
stories about the history of the Griffin family.The stories begin with
the Big Bang, and then moves to the Paleolithic Age, where it is
revealed that Peter's ancestor invented the wheel. The second story
sees another Moses as a member of the Griffin family during the Bronze
Age leading the Israelites to freedom and presenting the Ten
Commandments. The family soon discovers that Meg can fit through the
vent, so they force Meg through the vent and into the kitchen. Peter
uses a loud speaker to contact Meg from the panic room, therefore
alerting the burglars to the fact that somebody is in the kitchen. In
order to take the family's mind off Meg being captured, Peter tells
the story of Nate Griffin. Nate lived in the small African village of
Quahogsuana, but was captured by a white version of Cleveland Brown
from South Carolina and taken to America aboard a slave ship. He,
along with Quagdingo and Joe Mama, prank the ship captain. While
sleeping, they push his bed into the ocean. Nate is caught after
briefly escaping and forced to work on a plantation. He falls in love
with the owner's daughter, Lois's relatives, and together, they bring
up a secret family. After being discovered by his lover's father, the
couple and their children escape, where Nate sets up the Department of
Motor Vehicles to "get back at the white man". The Griffin Family History Biography, NetWorth, Height, Age, Weight, Family, Married, Son, Daughter
