[Fi] Thoughout history,
many people have claimed to have premonitions of their own deaths.
One of the most famous was Abraham Lincoln.
He wrote in his diary about a scary dream he had.
[Lincoln] There seemed to be a death-like stillness around me
before me rested a corpse wrapped in funeral vestments.
A throng of people gazed mournfully upon the corpse,
whose face was covered.
"Who is dead in the White House?"
I demanded of one of the soldiers who stood guard.
"The president" was his answer, "he was killed by an assassin."
[Fi] A few days later, President Lincoln was assassinated.
Did he really predict the future?
And if he did, does that mean the future is fixed?
Could he have changed what happened
or was going to Ford's Theater that night his destiny?
[gun cocks]
[gunshot]
[Molly] Millie Phipps? Who is Millie Phipps?
[Jack] [chuckles] They think you're Millie Phipps?
That's priceless.
Don't get mad. This is actually kind of a funny story.
Oh, I'll bet.
Get to the part that explains why I'm on a double bill with the Muppets.
Hello? Mom, the Moffatts.
They're only, like, the coolest band in the universe.
Exactly, almost as cool as Millie Phipps,
a 14-year-old singer-songwriter who is very, very hot right now.
I'm sure she's great. But I'm not her.
OK, so the promoter got a little mixed up.
-A little? -Don't help, honey. Mommy is talking.
Irene, I am not performing for 2000 screaming 14-year-olds.
There's bound to be parents there, too.
I mean, it's not like these kids have driver's licenses.
Hey, Fi, do you see that light? What is that?
[cackle]
No, it couldn't be...
Couldn't be what?
Ned!
Hang on!
[Irene] Ned! Oh!
[Carey] Dad!
[gasping]
[Jack] What happened?
Oh, man. Everybody OK?
-Yeah, we're fine. -[Ned] I think it was a motorcycle.
-Carey, wait. -[Carey] What?
That light we saw that ran us off the road. It looked familiar.
You mean you knew the motorcyclist?
There was no motorcycle.
I... I think it was the Will-O-The-Wisp.
Oh, that little ball of light you said took over Jack's body
-and made him walk funny? -Yeah.
Do you think we can make him dance again?
Carey, that thing is evil.
Last time it put us out in limbo land, this place called the Nexus.
If I didn't guess its one true name, we'd still be there.
What if it's come back for Jack?
Huh? [grunts]
-What are you doing, Fiona? -Shh!
[distorted laughing]
[sing-song voice] Molly...
Would you get out of my way, please?
Quiet, Jack. It'll hear you.
It?
[shimmering sound]
[distorted laughing]
[sing-song voice] Molly...
What is with you?
Jack...
Carey, can't you stop him?
No.
[Irene] I don't see anything.
[Ned] Maybe it was just a reflection of something.
Dad?
Dad!
Is that ours?
[Ned] Oh! Irene, we're going to need a mechanic.
You're sure you don't feel like doing a jig?
[groans] Will you leave me alone?
OK, OK. I guess I was wrong.
Excuse me, sir, do you have a soda machine?
-Yeah, sure. It's right over there. -Thanks.
[groans]
[laughs]
Come here, me boyo.
I'll need your assistance in keeping your sister away from that fellow there.
The mechanic? Why?
He's troubled.
-Good night, George. -[George] Take it easy, Tom.
Whoa. Tom!
I'm sorry.
I must have jiggered the valve or something
when I was pulling the rig over.
I don't know how the dang thing lit itself.
Are you OK?
Yeah.
I'm sorry about that, ma'am.
Tom's a good mechanic.
It's just that he's scared to death of fire.
It's, uh, pyro... Uh...
-Pyrophobia? -[George] Yeah, that's it.
Pyrophobia?
What a shame. Well, time to go.
Wait. Did something happen to him?
[George] Oh, Tom used to be a fireman.
Says he, uh, had a vision.
Saw his own death in a fire.
I guess the stress just got to him and...
he quit the department and moved out here.
A vision? What kind of...
Now, let's not bother the nice man with questions...
[echoing] Little duck.
Hey, little duck. My turn, little duck.
Quack quack, little duck.
Close your mouth, darling. You'll catch flies.
Excuse us.
What are you doing inside my mother's body?
[in Irish accent] Pining for my dear departed husband.
-[whimpers] -Stop it.
I'm banishing you back to the spirit world.
-Bricriu, begone from this mortal... -[Molly] [in Irish accent] Wait!
If you banish me now, your sainted mum will not survive the next 24 hours.
What are you talking about?
I'm on a mission of mercy, little duck. I'm here to protect her.
You're lying. You and your masters are evil.
Aye, 'tis true I work for the powers of darkness,
but they can be so... humorless.
Conquer and subjugate, conquer and subjugate.
Gets wretchedly dull after a few millennia.
I swear upon my one true name
that I shall depart your mother's body in 24 hours' time.
The danger will have passed by then.
-What danger? -Shh.
If you speak it aloud, they'll know I'm here.
I'm risking all for you, flesh of my flesh.
24 hours?
Then I'm gone. Whoosh...
Like a dream upon waking.
-Stop doing that. -Don't change the subject.
Do we have a deal?
Yeah, I guess.
Wait! My mom's got a performance tomorrow night.
Ah, not to worry.
I happen to be quite an accomplished musician.

[Jack] Fiona, if you could just give me an explanation
of why you feel compelled to do the opposite
of what anyone wants you to do...
Hi, Mr. Martinez.
I'm Fi, and this is my brother, Jack.
Oh, yeah. The garage called and said you asked for my address.
Is there a problem with the bus?
No, um, actually, I...
I wanted to ask you about your vision.
-My vision? -[telephone ringing]
Hello?
Yeah?
I'll call you later. Yeah.
[handset clasps]
Look, I don't know what George told you,
but I didn't come all the way from Colorado
just to have people prying into my private life.
-Now, if you'll excuse me... -Wait!
You're from Colorado? Where?
Hope Springs. Why?
Wow, it's just...
Um... We're... We're from Hope Springs...
[Molly] Jack!
I thought I told you to keep your sister away from this man.
Mom. Uh, I'm sorry. She said it was really important.
Get her back to the hotel or I'll put you both in the stocks.
Or whatever parents do.
Come on, Fiona.
-No. -Come on.
Look, I'm sorry, ma'am. I didn't ask her to come talk to me.
Oh, let's not harbor grudges.
After all, you're not really a stranger, are you?
Excuse me?
You knew my husband, Rick Phillips.
You're Molly Phillips.
Aye, and let's be perfectly clear, my fine fellow,
you come near my daughter again, and I'll make your vision a reality.
Just think of me as your old flame.
[nervous panting]
[Fi] How dare you act like my mother?
Well, it does go with the body, little duck.
You lied to me. My mom's not in trouble.
You're just trying to keep me away from Tom Martinez.
Who is he?
[whistling]
Fine, the deal's off.
Bricriu, begone from this mortal form.
[forced choking]
No! You have banished me.
Well, you banished me a little.
But I invoked your one true name.
That's supposed to send you back to the Nexus.
Our deal is binding, little duck.
Till 24 hours have passed, I remain your loving mother.
Until we leave for the show tonight, you are grounded.
This is Nauthiz, the rune of constraint.
If you try to leave the room, I'll know.

Uh-uh-uh.
Front desk. Shall I have room service send up a nice plate of haggis?

[indistinct yelling and screaming]
I don't know, mom.
The new lyrics are kind of interesting,
but... I don't think the audience was ready for 10 minutes of limericks.
Mom?
What is that sound?
You... You mean... the song?
It has me in its grasp.

Whoa! Yeah!
Oh, Fi, that, uh, that mechanic guy, Tom Martinez,
he's outside the stage door.
Tom Martinez is here?
Yeah, he said he wanted to talk to you.
Mr. Martinez, thank you so much for coming.
There's only one reason I came, kid...
To ask you a question.
What are you doing here?
What are you, some angel of death?
No.
Your bus breaks down in my town. You bring it to my garage.
Why here? Why me?
I don't know, Mr. Martinez.
I think maybe we were supposed to meet, like it's destiny.
Destiny?
I don't need any more of that.
I already live with my destiny.
You mean your vision.
Just go away. Leave me alone, please.
When you took my dad out of the car, was that when you saw your own death?
How did you know that?
I didn't know for sure, but then...
When I heard you were a fireman in Hope Springs, I...
I went to pull him out of the car,
and as soon as I touched the body,
as soon as I saw what happened...
That's when I had the vision.
Your mother, she knows.
That's not my mom, Mr. Martinez.
There's something inside of her, something evil.
[Fi] They're trying to keep us from talking. [echoing]
I think they're using your vision to scare you
so you won't tell anybody what you saw.
Who are they?
I thought I told you to stay away from her.
And you. Even if I do decide to let you live, no dessert for a month.
-Boo! -[yells]
Why are you trying to keep us apart? What are you so afraid of?
[Molly] If I were you, little duck, I'd walk away now,
unless you want his destiny to become yours as well.
[Fi] Mr. Martinez, wait.
[sighs]
Kids.
[panting]
No! No!
Mr. Martinez, where are you?
Mr. Martinez, there must be something you haven't told me,
-something about the accident. -I only know one thing.
He was dead before the car crashed.
You shouldn't have said that.
No! No!
[Fi] No! You don't know what you're doing.
I know much more than you think I do, little duck.
Why is this body producing water?
It's hot. Fire burns people.
Burns people?
Well, I don't think I much like the idea of this body burning while I'm in it.
[Fi] No, no, wait.
You can't leave us here.
Ironic, isn't it?
If I'd left you alone,
you'd never have met Mr. Scaredy-Cat there.
-[Tom whimpering] -[electricity cracking]
I caused the very thing I came to prevent.
Life is just a series of merry little mix-ups,
much like us pulling your father from his body before his time.
What did you just say?
[gasps] Did I say that out loud?
Silly me.
Farewell, little duck.
I was quite fond of you.
[Fi] No, wait!
♪ Misery is what I feel ♪
Mr. Martinez, you've got to do something.
The fire... It's all happening just like I saw.
There's nothing I can do.
No. It doesn't have to end like this.
You can change the future. You can change your destiny.
You have to.
In my vision...
you two weren't there.
[Fi] What are you doing?
[both grunting]
Follow me.
[Fi] Which way?
[Tom] This way.
Come on.
Attagirl.
[Fi grunting]
Is... Is my mom...
She'll be OK.
[Molly caughing]
I think I'll be OK, too.
Thanks.
Mr. Martinez, in my dad's accident... What'd you see?
People get certain kinds of injuries when they tense up before an accident.
Your dad had none of those. He was dead before impact.
-Could it have been, like, a heart attack? -[Tom] No.
It was like he... He just stopped being alive.
[Molly caughing]
Honey, honey, what is it? What happened? Did we...
Did we find the motorcyclist?
It's allright, mom.
Tom saved us.
Tom?
Thanks.
-Saved us from what? -It's OK.
Thanks.
