01x03 - Everybody Talks About the Weather

[bunniefuu]

[ panting ]

[grunts ]

[whoosh ]

[gasps ]

[ flames crackle]

There he goes!

Suspect is heading west to
the back 40 of the Douglas farm.

Copy that.

You got that truck ready?

It'll be ready before he gets here,
Sheriff Mason.

[engine turns over]

[siren wails ]

[whoosh ]

[wailing continues ]

[tires squeal ]

Unh!

Ungh!

[groans ]

I'm the worst flier ever.

There he is!

I don't want to hurt you
guys.

Lucky us.

Let 'er rip.

[squeak ]

[grunts ]

Cut it out!

Geez.

Now, why don't you guys just
leave me alone?!

[siren wails ]

Unh!

Uhh!

[grunts ]

[groaning ]

You're gonna talk, Alan.

The only question is how long
it's gonna take.

Okay, I'll start talking.

You can join in whenever you like.

Over the past week,

there's been a series of fires
all over Grover's Mill.

I didn't burn anything!

Ah, I knew you could talk.

Now if you could just come up
with something smarter to say.

What's the point?

You don't believe me anyway.

Fires all over town, weird
paths b*rned through cornfields,

Mrs. Albright's oldest boy turns
out to be some kind of

fire-breathing mutant.

What's not to believe?

Oh.
Back to the silent treatment, huh?

Give it back!

My father gave it to me!

Oh, then it shouldn't be any
trouble telling me what it is.

It's mine.

Unless you're
an arsonist and a thief.

[ click ]

Keep him in there until

I can find a judge to tell us
what to do with him.

[ beeping ]

Can't this thing go any faster?

Yes.

We're still going the
same speed.

It's called the speed
limit.

Fastest we're going tonight.

But you said --

I said "could,"
not "would."

My mom's going to k*ll me if I'm
late getting home again.

Huh.

If she grounds you,
it'll be just me and Gwen.

Tough break.

You think I'd go with
you if Ben wasn't here?

Yeah.

I got roguish charm.

[ beeping ]

Phone call for
Mr. Roguish Charm.

I don't have a cell.

Bet it's one of your
many girlfriends.

[ beeping continues ]

Hey.

That's your Plumber's badge.

What's it doing?

Don't know. New to me.

Whoa.

It's some kind of map.

I bet it's a GPS for badges.

Kevin:
So why is one of them flashing?

It's got to be a message
from Grandpa Max.

He's telling us where he is.

You think?

Okay, that's worth
breaking some traffic laws.

[engine revs ]

[tires squeal ]

[exhales sharply]

[grunts ]

[ flames crackle]

Too cold.

[ clears throat ]

[sizzling ]

[snoring ]

[exhales deeply]

[grunts ]

Unh!

W-what?

[whoosh ]

I am so fired.

Grandpa Max is here?

The blinking light on
the map is here.

Guess we'll find out the rest
soon enough.

He's inside the building.
Come on.

Let me dump the jacket first.

It must be 90 degrees.

That's what you get, trying to
look cool all the time.

Gwen:
Hey, guys.

What do you make of this?

Big hole?

Helpful.

We better check it out.

Hello?

Anybody here?

[ beeping ]

Found what we were tracking.

You think it belongs to
grandpa?

If it does, he's out there
somewhere,

going after
whatever made this hole.

[ panting ]

[gasps ]

The trail ends here.

He can't be far.

[ footsteps approaching ]

Found him!

[gasps ]

Why can't you just leave me
alone?!

Doesn't work that way, son.

Why don't you just come along
quiet--

[groans ]

That's it! Take him down!

Stay back!

[all scream ]

[all groaning ]

[groans ]

I didn't mean to --

Are you okay?

Huh?!

[whir]

Guy looks like
Heatblast.

I noticed.

Want me to kick his
butt for you?

It'll be like old times.

Thanks anyway.

[ beeping ]

[thunder rumbles ]

Jetray!

Stay away from me!

[whoosh ]

Unh!

Hey! Get off me!

[ flames roar]

[whistle]

Whoa!

Watch it!

[sputtering ]

Unh!

Unh!

[expl*si*n ]

[groans ]

I don't feel so good.

[whoosh ]

[ beep]

Had enough?

Uh-huh.

There's an old guy who's
been chasing you,

probably wearing
a Hawaiian shirt.

Where is he?

I don't know what you're
talking about.

My grandfather --
where is he?!

Sheriff:
Freeze!

I should have known

you couldn't have set all those
fires by yourself.

But now I've got you, Alan --
you and your accomplice.

Hands where I can see them.

Run!

Halt!

Go after them!

[ panting ]

Stop following me!

How am I supposed to hide with
you around?

You glow in the dark.

But I don't know where to go.

I'll tell you where to go.

[ footsteps approaching ]

Shh. Somebody's coming.

Hey. I think I see something.

[engine revs ]

Look out!

[tires squeal ]

[siren wailing ]

[tires squeal ]

[engine revs ]

[tires squeal ]

[wailing stops ]

All right, Alan.

You and your friend get out of the car
- right now!

Is there a problem,
officer?

Why'd you help me?

I don't know.

You remind me of myself.

Yeah.
I...guess you're a monster, too.

Technically I'm a whole
bunch of monsters,

but that's
the cool part.

Nothing cool about this.

[sizzle]

No?

The superstrength, the flying?

I hate flying.

[ chuckles ]
You do kind of stink at it.

Yeah, my powers just showed
up a couple of weeks ago.

So you're an alien?

Part alien.

My mom is human.

And I thought I was, too,

until I woke up one morning and
my bed was on fire.

My dad put it out.

Then they explained it to me.

He's a Plumber.

They're...

Intergalactic police.

Did your dad give you his badge?

Yeah, when he explained to me
what it was.

But Sheriff Mason took it from me.

Yeah, well...I kind of
took it back.

[tires squeal ]

That didn't go too bad.

We led them away from Ben,
and all we got was this.

Kevin!

That's a $400 speeding ticket.

I know.

I think it's a personal record.

[engine turns over]

[engine revs ]

Grandpa Max doesn't

have anything to do with this,
does he?

Nope.

So that badge belongs
to the "Heatblast" guy.

Where do you think he got it?

He doesn't act like a
Plumber.

He's probably just
a Plumber's kid.

Why would a policeman
give his son a badge?

To keep real Plumbers
from arresting them

for interplanetary trespass.

A badge is better than a
passport.

I'm not following.

Heatblast Jr. is
probably part human.

Humans with alien ancestors are
actually pretty common.

Most of them have superpowers.

Common?

Well, yeah.
That's what you are.

You get your powers through
your grandpa.

I thought you knew.

[scoffs ]

I get my powers from magic
talismans and books.

[laughs ]
Yeah, right.

Magic.

But the sheriff thinks I set
all the fires.

I don't.

For one thing, no fire could
have cut this building in half.

[engine revs ]

[engine shuts off]

Who's the squirt?

Ohhh.

Ow!

That didn't hurt.

I want to show you guys what

I saw when I was flying over the
cornfield.

It's not exact,
but it looks like this.

Those aren't roads b*rned
through the cornfields.

Those are crop circles.

Like those things aliens
leave to find their way around?

More like those things
farmers leave to fool city folk.

It's not like we don't
know a bunch of aliens.

True.

Also moot.

I don't think these are crop
circles.

I think they're circuit boards.

How are we doing this, again?

Magic.

It ain't magic.

Oh. Right.

Kevin says I've got superpowers
because of my alien bloodline.

Huh?

Could you guys concentrate on
what's important?

You don't think what
we're standing on is important?

Stop teasing him,
Kevin.

We're high enough to see.

Like I said,
these aren't crop circles.

They're circuit boards.

I think this whole valley is
some kind of giant machine.

Hey, check it out.

See?
I told you I didn't do it.

Let's go down and take a
closer look.

Yeah. Down is good.

[whirring ]

What do you think they're doing?

Shh.

Sorry.

[whirring stops ]

[ click ]

[ machine turns on, whirs ]

[electricity crackles ]

[thunder crashes ]

[electricity crackles ]

[thunder crashes ]

Cut it out.

Sorry, man.

It's cold out here.

The tower is some kind
of weather machine.

[sirens wailing ]

[wailing stops ]

All right, freeze!

Already working on it.

I took it easy on you, Alan,
out of respect for your folks,

but you built this machine.

You're stealing all the heat to
feed your powers.

It's not like that.

Stay away from him.

Kevin:
Take your own advice.

Hey!

He's one of them.

They're all freaks!

Slow down.

What did you do to my men?!

[grunts ]

[ rapid beeping ]

[grunts ]

Can't take too many of these.

You don't have to.

[ beeping ]

[whirring ]

Swampfire!

[grunting ]

Aah!

[electricity crackles ]

[speaking alien language]

Oh, man.

These guys are like the aliens
we fought.

We are the DNAliens,
and we will destroy you all.

Whatever.

[groans ]

Hey.

Remember how cold it was on
their ship?

I think they need cold weather,
so they're making some.

Kind of makes sense.

Of course.

That means the big alien plot

is they're installing an air
conditioner.

Aah!

Ben!

Aah!

Aah!

Aah!

Aah!

No!

[whirring ]

Guess I'm too hot to handle.

Whoa. Wait a minute, guys.

[sizzling ]

That...was weird.

Need some help?

Yes. Please.

[gas hissing ]

[all grunting ]

[whip]

[all scream ]

You b*at them!

Plenty more where
those came from.

We need to take down that
weather tower.

Take care of the guys at the top
so I can get close.

I don't know if I can do it.

I'm really bad at flying.

[laughs ]
Yeah.

I had trouble at first, too.

Let me show you
a trick I learned.

[whoosh ]

[all groaning ]

Aah!

Aah!

[grunting ]

Gonna need some leverage for
this stunt.

Okay. Here goes.

[grunting ]

[whoosh ]

[ ice cracking ]

What happened?

Alan defeated the aliens,
destroyed their weather machine,

then used his heat
powers to free everyone

from suspended animation.

We helped.

But not much.

We were wondering if you would
join our team.

We could use a powerhouse
like you.

Lot of aliens to fight out
there.

He can't.

He's gonna be too busy helping
me round up any other aliens

who might still be hiding
in town.

Even so,
any time you need me,

just call.
