[Fi] Scientists say that memory is a result of an actual physical process
that takes place within the brain.
Billions of neuronal connections
bearing words and images deep in our minds.
But if everything's really in there,
how come we can remember something so clearly that happened ten years ago,
but not what we had for dinner last night?
Scientists say they may be able to help us recover lost memories,
but it still makes you wonder;
why did we lose them in the first place?
[Jack sighs]
What do you mean, $5.00?
[groans]
Why does it have to be broken now? It worked in Chicago.
This is Oklahoma, man. Thermometers have extra degrees on top.
Oh, man. It's him. It's Jack Frost.
And he's brought a blizzard with him.
A nice, cold blizzard, nipping at my nose... Oh...
Man, and I thought my sister was out of touch with reality.
Little criminals.
OK, everybody gets one sip of lemonade. Where's your sister?
She's in her room.
Melting.
I'll take this back to her.
-You want some peanuts? -Yeah!
All I want is to dive into the hotel pool that's waiting for us in Tulsa.
Hmm. Well, apparently, we're not staying in Tulsa anymore.
What?
[Molly] Your mom called.
She says she's booked us into this little town
about 20 miles this side of the city.
Why would she do that? You're playing in Tulsa.
I know.
Apparently, she thought we'd find it more relaxing or something.
Hey, if it's got a pool, I'm not complaining.
I'm thirsty, man.
[laughing]
Welcome to Steveston.
Hi, guys.
[Molly] So, there's no problem with the other bus?
No. We just decided to stop.
-Why? -We were tired.
-I hit the sack by 6:00. -Way to earn your paycheck, Ned.
It can't be.
[groans] Even the one on the bus blows air.
I think the power's out.
Yeah, the whole town's electrical grid must have got overloaded.
Probably all the air conditioners.
[dog whining]
That's Sparky. He's hiding.
There is a pool.
Tell me there's a pool.
Yeah, right outside.
Pool man should have been by last night.
Guess I need to have a chat with his parole officer.
I'm sorry, honey.
Well, putting this rustic splendor aside, the band needs to get in a rehearsal.
And I'm just not sure how we're going to do that without power.
Well, maybe you could work on that unplugged set you wanted to do.
It seemed like such a good idea last night.
Guys, go get your towels.
We're going to find a place to swim if we have to walk to the Rio Grande.
Is that far, Jack?
[Jack] There's got to be somebody we can ask.
OK, they're not cold because of the power outage,
but they're probably still fizzy.
-Ah... -[Jack and Fi] Thanks.
Here we go.
-What've you got? -It's an egg, my man.
-You bought one egg? -Yes, an egg, dude.
Check it out.
Shh.
Oh, killer.
I know how you feel, bud.
Uh, not to accuse your parents of being clinically insane or anything,
but what do you think they saw in this place?
I don't know. I mean, it has a kind of a down-home kind of ambience, you know?
It's peaceful.
Yeah, it's peaceful all right.
This is yesterday's paper.
They didn't have enough news to put out a new one today.
Whoa.
[gasps] Check it out.
It's a kid in a bathing suit.
We'll follow him to his native habitat.
-[Jack and Fi] Clu... -Shh, no, for real, man.
Hey, little man. Name's Jack.
Cole. How do?
Listen, you wouldn't happen to know
where we can go swimming around here, would you?
Is a pig's butt pork?
They built it for the rec center and it's huge!
I'm talking big! And it's always the right temperature.
Plus, it's got...
What is that? Some kind of mutant jelly or something?
[groans]
Aw, P-U.
What is this stuff?
I don't know.
I went swimming here yesterday and the pool was just fine.
When did you stop swimming?
I don't know.
I got tired all of a sudden and went home to bed.
It must have been about 6:00.
Man, everyone here goes to sleep at 6:00 p.m.
Not all the time.
Usually I stay up until 8:30.
Why didn't you?
Oh...
[groans]
Hey, Cole, man, are you OK, dude?
Sure.
Sure, I'm OK.
It's the heat.
It's a killer... a trained killer.
You guys, we've got to find a pool before we all go psycho.
-No. -No? No, what?
Something's going on here, Jack.
I mean, first, Irene, the best band manager in this business,
books us at this charming town instead of Tulsa.
We have no power, and we have two pools
which would probably make our skin fall off.
Today's paper doesn't exist.
Exactly. And last but not least,
Cole, Ned, and Irene all went to bed at 6:00 p.m.,
and they all have privileges to stay up later.
Usually, I stay up until 8:30.
I'm telling you, guys, it's high noon for Fi's theory of weird stuff.
No, it's 2:21 p.m. for Jack's theory of it's very hot.
-It's not just the heat. -Yes, it is.
Why do you insist on looking for trouble?
Why do you insist on looking for a swimming pool?
-Because it's hot out. -Exactly.
Exactly?
OK, you guys, come on. Come on, we've got to at least try.
I know, I know, it's hot. It's yucky and it's hot.
But just close your eyes, come on, close your eyes.
Imagine we're in a nice, cool rehearsal hall with plenty of amps.
Ready? You there?
-My deodorant's wearing off. -This is ridiculous.
OK, how about a nice, slow one.
[guitar strums]
We'll mention your hotel onstage during the concert.
We'll clean our own rooms.
We'll clean other peoples' rooms.
-We can't leave now. -Don't listen to that loon.
The heat's making her batty.
We'll go anywhere.
Well, so far, you've got nothing to worry about,
'cause nobody'll take us.
Irene, what's the last thing you remember about yesterday?
Fiona! Sweetheart, I don't have time for this right now.
-What about you, Ned? -Oh, I don't know.
We'd stopped here at the motel to use the phone
because you guys had the cellular.
I went out back... and then...
like I said, I got tired.
I zonked out the minute I hit the pillow.
I woke up this morning feeling really refreshed.
So, you don't remember anything about yesterday?
Brushing your teeth? Shutting off the light?
-[breathing deeply] -Pulling up your covers? Anything?
No.
Boy, it's stuffy in here.
[screaming]
[Fi] Cole, you OK?
Oh, man. He looks ready to pass out.
Yeah. I'll go get him some water.
They did something to us.
Thanks for taking care of my son.
No problem.
Feel better, Cole.
We'll come check on you later.
OK. I think we can all admit
that something really weird happened last night.
Maybe even criminal.
-Fi-- -Come on, Irene,
you're not afraid of anything.
All you've got to do is think hard.
Really hard.
Fi, I told you before, not now.
What about you, Ned?
I mean, could you just take a minute?
Do you remember anything when you went to go use the phone?
[screaming]
What is it?
Dad, man, are you OK?
-Are you OK? -Yeah... Yeah, I'm fine.
Should have this puppy cleaned up in no time.
Hour, tops.
Then we fill it back up, and we'll be back in business.
It's not just the heat, Jack.
People are getting sick when they try to piece together what happened.
No, people are getting sick when you try to piece together what happened.
So, you're saying it's my fault?
Look, I know you. You don't let go of these things.
What I'm trying to say is... who are you doing this for?
Them?
-I'm just trying to help. -So am I.
Ever since we heard that dog at the hotel, I've been looking around, you know?
And I haven't seen a cat, a mouse, a bird...
I mean, if it weren't for the flies around here,
there wouldn't be any animals. You know what I'm saying?
[sighs]
Fi... do you think my mom and dad...
Do you think something happened to 'em?
Not to worry. We'll figure this out.
Don't worry. We'll figure it.
All right.
Hey, Jack.
-Oh, hey. -Soda?
Thanks.
[exhales]
So, how're you feeling?
You know... better. Thanks.
I don't know what happened last night.
I'm sure it's no big deal.
I just... I just got tired, you know.
People get tired.
I don't think there's anything strange about it.
[grunting]
Hey, what's this?
I have no idea.
Hi, Mrs. Matkin.
-We wanted to know how Cole's doing. -He's fine. He's resting.
-Can we see him? -No.
We can't?
Sheva, get out from under there!
[sighs] No.
And I have to say, I don't appreciate strangers coming into town
and putting all sorts of peculiar thoughts in his head.
Now, you two run along. Cole's going to be just fine.
He just needs to cool down some.
I really do mean well.
[chuckles] So did the people who came up with the Macarena.
Hey, I'm not that evil.
Hey.
Hey, how're you doing?
I snuck out.
I had to come find you, 'cause I remembered something else.
There was this noise.
It sounded like a couple hundred chainsaws coming at us.
We all went to run for cover, and it's a good thing, too,
'cause all this weird gunk came pouring into the pool.
[Fi] And then what happened?
[screaming]
-[whimpers] -Cole, man. Cole.
Here, here, dude, sit down. Sit down.
[exhales]
It's kind of fuzzy.
It's just a streak of lights.
A streak of lights. Then what?
[Irene] A crash.
I'm sorry, honey.
It's just... it's just that it hurts when I think about it.
-So, you saw a crash? -No, I heard it.
There was this big plume of smoke.
And we all ran towards it.
[screaming]
There was somebody in there, in the smoke.
Who?
I can't... I can't remember their faces.
I heard somebody say it was an accident.
Someone spoke to you?
Yeah. It's kind of like a policeman.
He said there was... no danger.
They were going to make some repairs, and there was nothing to worry about.
It was like,
"Move along folks. Nothing to see here."
So they spoke English?
Actually... I don't recall any voices.
Oh, Mom, you OK? It's all right.
Am I going crazy?
No, no, no. We all saw it.
We all saw... something.
What happened next?
They...
touched us.
And that's when I got tired. And I went home to bed.
So, you didn't see them leave?
[exhales] They could still be here.
But where?
I think I know.
I found a piece of metal in the pool.
Like from another planet?
No. Like from that clock tower.
Whatever hit the clock tower must have
knocked a piece of the clock all the way to the motel pool.
[Ned] And melted everything inside it.
OK, so if it hit that clock tower, then whatever it was
-must have landed... -Somewhere over there!
-Yes! -Let's go!
Let's go. Come on, Mom, Dad...
[rumbling]
-[Clu] What was that? -Come on!
No!
-[Jack] What hit this place? -[Clu] Something hot.
-I'm too late. -What was it?
[sighs]
Whatever it was, it's gone.
[panting]
There's nothing here.
Nope. Nothing to see here.
Maybe my mind's playing tricks on me.
-Irene... -[groans]
Ned?
I feel that maybe she's right.
Or maybe it's just the heat.
I think I'm going to go back.
Ahh...
Hey, we don't know exactly what happened, huh?
We know something did.
I mean, we can't just leave here without telling everybody
that something incredibly amazing happened that they just don't remember, can we?
Can we?
Have you ever tried telling a grown-up something they don't want to hear?
I don't know about the ones in your neck of the woods,
but the ones around here, they don't take kindly to that.
Well, there is option B.
What's that?
[splashing]
-Sha... -Let's go!
Let's boogie.
Yee-ha!
Killer job, Jack, man.
-Let's go! -Yeah.
[cheering]
Hey, sis?
Yeah?
Look, if I admit that something happened,
I'm not saying what... will you go swimming with me?
You first.
-[chuckles] No, no, no. After you. -No, age before beauty.
-I insist. -After you!
[both mumbling]
[slow tempo music plays]
[all laughing]
