It just goes on and on and on.

It's the same dream night after night.

Something's falling.

Something's disgusting.

But I can't move. It's horrible. I know. All right. All right. Calm down, Mr.

Nelson. You know that you're perfectly safe here, right? Are you sure? I'm

positive. Excuse me? What? Get away from that skylight.

I said you're part of it. There's something falling. What? Sir, sir, can I

you? It's a blue ice from an airplane. Okay, now what's your name?

Blue ice from the laboratory?

You got it. That's very interesting.

You're here to save us. I can't move. Get him off the couch. I can't move. How

long have you had this fantasy?

What? This hero conflict. Hero conflict? Look, lady, I'm trying to tell you.

Now, maybe we should talk about it. Get him off the couch.

It's coming.

I'm happy to treat you, but you have to make it a point. What are you doing,

sir? My God.

State Chicago.

Someone turned the heat off in Chicago and this cold front's here to stay.

Expect highs today in the negative 10s and that's in the sun.

Some schools are closed and authorities are asking people not to go outside

unless you have to.

Take the day off, my friend. Stay in bed.

Oh, come on. Didn't you hear the weather report?

What are you doing here?

I'm moving in.

I was gonna give you that.

Middle of the night, the heat goes off in the entire building.

Within 15 minutes, my apartment's the North Pole.

Poor Sparky's bowl starts to ice up.

Can't you call someone?

What about the condo association?

Why don't you call them? No, I called them.

They're not coming in today.

It's too cold. When I woke up this morning, my toes were frozen.

I couldn't move them.

You should see them.

They started turning blue.

That's the first sign of frostbite, you know that?

Chuck, first they turn blue, then they turn black, then they fall off.

You want to see? No, I don't want to see your toes. I don't want to... Hey,

Chuck, why don't you get a hotel room?

Because you already have a hotel room.

That's what friends are for, right?

Come on, Garrett, it'll be just like college. You and me, roomies again.

Chuck, do you know why I graduated a semester early?

Because you and your stuff, it's got a way of taking over a room. Come on,

have a heart.

I'm no Eskimo, and poor Sparky here is starting to turn into a frozen fish

stick. His bowl is cracking.

All right, if you can find a corner to put your stuff, and you pick one, you

stay one night.

You won't even know I'm here.

Why'd you just do that?

You don't want that.

I got the good stuff.

I grind my own beans.

Kenyon Supreme.

Stop.

Please.

Tools of the trade.

You're not going to work today, are you?

Getting to work.

That's the problem.

So, I decided to buy and sell at home today. What, home? My home?

Yeah. You don't mind, do you? You're a real pal.

Ah, Boswell, bring it on in. Stop.

Where are you going?

You can stay one day.

One.

One day.

It's not very generous, is it?

Trust me.

One day with Chuck is more like one year.

But he's your best friend. Yes, he is my best friend. And I would like to keep

it that way.

So, what are you going to do?

A little cold for the beach?

Tell you what I'm going to do. I'm going to sit here and I'm going to play some

pool.

Have a few drinks. Read some paper.

I already read the paper. Covered, covered. Nothing in it.

Really?

Really? I think they need you to be there.

You sure about that?

Yep, positive.

There's one little thing. It's tiny. It's on page 13. A guy gets broken in

car. What was that?

A guy gets hit by a car and breaks his leg, but I'm telling you, it shouldn't

even be in there.

But it is. Yeah, but listen, Marissa.

I don't need to go out there. Look, I know. I know.

You don't want to go out. I don't want to go out.

I understand.

Good.

Thank you.

On the other hand, it isn't.

Please don't do that.

Fine. Not another word.

I gotta go. Good luck.

You missed me. Got any change?

Yeah, sure.

It's over right here.

It's not for me, though. It's for my mom, she said.

She needs some help?

Your mom said she was lit. Why? It's the money.

You look cold.

You got it or not?

Yeah. Look, that's about all I got. Thanks.

Hey, mister.

You're about to get hit by a car.

No way.

You idiot.

You heard me. You just threw the whole thing up. You're about to be hit by that

car. Of course I was, sir. You showed up. That car was going to break your

You know, this leg is worth 70 grand.

Maybe 100 grand if the guy wants to make a settlement. Now you've got to start

the whole thing over again.

I hope you're proud of yourself, mighty mouse.

Get away.

Thanks for nothing.

Just what I need. A guy with a hero complex.

Thanks for nothing.

Okay, so the guy was a fake. You couldn't know that.

No, but I should have.

I know some stuff.

Well, besides, the guy was going to break his leg, but the paper didn't lie.

No. But it did send me on some kind of wild, stupid goose chase.

Well, maybe so, maybe not.

Maybe there was a reason it sent you there.

Like what?

Maybe it needed you there.

At that time, in that place.

Who knows?

Anyway,

you did what you had to do.

So now you can spend the rest of the day inside, right? You betcha. Of course, I

have to go visit my mother, in which case... No.

What is it?

There's another one in the same spot.

A woman over a cup of smoke.

I'm not doing it.

What?

He said she recovers.

This isn't a life and death situation. I don't have to go out there for this.

As you wish.

I do wish.

But I don't want to go out there. I don't have to go out there. I'm telling

I'm not going out there.

Fine.

I mean it.

Good, let's move them back. Come on.

Excuse me. You missed somebody. What?

Third floor, 312, Lydia Rothmore. Were you her husband?

No, I'm not her husband.

She's got a flip in the back.

Are you sure you got everyone out of the building? There's nobody in there.

Look, could you just check?

Yeah, we'll do that.

Everybody wants to be a fireman.

You missed her. Got any change?

What?

I know you.

Yeah, I just gave you money an hour ago.

You got any more?

That's what my sister, she said.

Eh? How's your mom doing?

She's better.

That'll do.

I thought you said you wanted to turn.

I don't have any more, remember?

Leave it all there.

I really appreciate this.

Here.

Just don't think you can do this. Hey!

Come on, everybody, let's go. Come on, let's move back. I got to step back now.

Come on. Hey, hey, the woman in 312.

She's that one up there.

It's Rossmore.

It's Rossmore.

It's Rossmore. It's Rossmore.

It's Rossmore. You got to get out. He's at home.

It's Rossmore. Open the door now.

It's Rossmore. It's Rossmore.

It's Rossmore. It's Rossmore.

I'm not going anywhere until my stories are over now.

Quiet! I tried to help you, but you heard something.

Shh, it'll wait.

Miss Rossman, there's a fire.

Shh, I'm not leaving until I know how this ends. So, I'm to understand that

you're the one who needs to be... Miss Rossman, what are you watching?

The Young and the Restless. At least I'm honest enough to ask you to your face.

All right, the Young and the Restless. You want to know how it ends? All right,

Tony learns that Victoria is actually the heiress of the Newman fortune.

The police closed the hit -and -run case.

You satisfied?

You lie.

Phyllis can't get away with this. I know she hit them on purpose.

She hates Christmas. Always has. Everyone knows it.

I don't write on things.

I can't get out.

So I heard.

I got half a mind to leave you in there.

There he is!

Batman's a liar!

Oh, that's great, lady.

That's really great.

Doesn't anyone ever say thank you anymore?

For what? Having a hero complex?

Come on, I'm taking you down. What? You're not carrying me down. Yes, I am.

No, you're not. I'll climb down myself.

Get on.

No. Yes.

No.

Fine with me.

Boys, get the net.

It's coming right up.

The net?

Morning.

Morning.

Mr. Hopson.

What are you doing?

Room service.

For who?

Mr. Fishman. He said to put it on the room.

Need to seal those windows while you're at it.

Yeah, I'll remember that.

So what happened to you?

What happened to me?

I'll tell you what happened to me. I almost got run over and then I got in a

fight with this elderly lady and then I had to climb out of a burning building.

Other than that, I had a very normal... What's this?

His bulb cracked, remember?

We'll get him another bulb.

Okay, you want your sink back?

Fine.

Thank you.

Pranky today, aren't we?

Okay. You know, I go out today in the cold to help people out who

really don't want any help.

That's my glass. I rinse my mouth off of that glass.

I'll wash it.

That might be... And do what I do. Hell, what's that? Live off your friend?

That's not very nice, Gare.

No. Do your business by phone.

It's 20 below out there.

You think that newspaper expects you to freeze to death?

You might be right.

Of course I'm right.

We're going on the 21st century.

Plug in.

Sign on.

Sir.

What's wrong with it? Oh, it's not going to work right now. It's attached to the

fax line.

Just until tomorrow.

Let me use your phone.

Sure. Except that I have a very important client on hold right now.

Sorry.

What?

One day.

And get that fish out of my glass.

I gotta call you right back, okay? Thanks.

Hey, buddy.

Oh, now don't look at me like that. I got frozen out of my house, too.

I'm telling you, release the pressure on the steam valve, the storage tank's

going to blow up.

Yeah, that's what I said.

Look, lady, he may be a spaniel, but he doesn't know how to swim.

Well, never mind how I know.

Hang on a second.

Hey, there are people waiting here. Yeah, yeah, hang on a second.

Hang on.

Yes, hello?

Hello? Miss Amino? Yes, ma 'am. Is your husband by any chance in the kitchen

working on a coaster with a screwdriver?

Yes, ma 'am. Will you need to unplug it?

Not the tool, the toaster, Miss Amino.

Hey, Hoffman, give someone a chance, will you?

Hang on a second, I'm busy. Get another phone.

What if we don't want... Look, Christmas tree catches fire. When a cigarette

accidentally falls... Hello?

Hello?

Hey, mister.

What?

Again?

Hey!

What?

Is that all you got?

Is that all I've got?

I don't owe you 85 cents, and don't tell me you have a nice day, lady.

I don't need you.

You're wasting my time.

I'm done for today, got it?

Cold enough for you, Mr. Hobson? Skip it. You have to?

Thanks.

What are you doing here?

Problem, Mr. Hobson?

How did this get here?

The cat?

The paper.

It's me.

Is he still up there?

Oh, yes, sir.

But he asked not to be disturbed for at least an hour.

Why?

My son.

Swedish.

Are you married, Inga?

Oh, that's good. Oh, yeah.

Yeah.

What? Oh, hey, buddy.

Ah, how you doing?

You could use one of these. It'll loosen you right up.

Did you happen to pick up any milk while you were out? We don't have much left.

A little lower, huh?

You and I got to talk.

All right.

Newspaper's getting you down, huh? No, no, no.

Paper's gone. You and I got to talk about you being here. I know exactly

you're going to say, and I want you to know I understand completely.

You do? I'm sorry I cleaned out your refrigerator. I promised to replace

everything. And that bottle of wine that Marsha's parents gave you for your

anniversary, I had to give it to a client who came by.

But, uh, don't worry about it. It was older than I was.

Mmm.

Mmm.

Ooh.

Yeah.

That's my problem spot.

Do you cook, too? Swedish meatballs?

Hey,

uh,

Gare?

Something wrong?

No, nothing's wrong.

I just wanted to come home, have a hot shower, something to eat, go back to

but that's okay.

Because I'm moving out.

What? That's right, I'm getting myself a room. In another hotel.

What's wrong with this one?

What's wrong with this one?

I'll tell you what's wrong with this one.

You're in it.

You, Sparky, and Inga.

How do you like that guy?

Comes home, yells at me, goes to the bathroom, and then leaves.

Went to the bathroom.

Flushed the toilet.

My goldfish.

Sparky?

Sparky?

Hey, what are you doing?

Hey, kid, you all right?

Hey!

Oh, my wall!

Hey!

Oh, no.

What are you doing here?

next week.

So where?

Hey! Hey, let go!

Hey! Hey,

you crazy! Don't burn yourself!

Get it back!

What are you doing? They sell them all over.

Not good for me.

You're a rogue.

Total rogue.

You gotta find Mike Barkey.

Well, that's that.

No sign of him anywhere.

I'm afraid your fish is toast, Mr. Fishman.

Any chance he made it out?

Maybe down to the lake?

Where that stuff goes, it ain't the lake.

Chuck!

Chuck. You.

Have you seen it? Did it come back? No, it didn't come back.

It's dead.

What, the paper?

My fish.

No, no, the paper. I need it. What about Sparky's needs? Did you ever consider

those, huh?

I did in Portland.

Might I at least see a little remorse here, huh?

It was right in front of my eyes, and I didn't see it.

Now I've cut the damn thing away.

You know, I used to think that you and I had a real friendship here, but

obviously I was mistaken.

I've got to find that kid.

Unless I see a real effort on your part to patch this thing up, it's going to be

hard for me to continue. I've got to go.

Well, I should be going back together.

Always got to meet, pal.

So let me get this straight.

You want to report a missing kid? Yeah.

But you don't know what his name is?

No. And you think he's in trouble?

I know he's in trouble.

He's a street kid. You know how cold it is out there right now?

Maybe he went to a shelter.

He's not the... He does... He won't.

Look, I know this kid. I know what he looks like. Don't you have a sketch

or a... Even if we had a photo of him, there's hundreds of runaway missing kids

in this city. We'd need an army to find them if we knew where to look.

It's too bad, but kids like that, they disappear, die every day.

Doesn't even make the papers.

So that's it.

Sorry, I can't help you.

Next.

Come on, be right in.

Hey.

It's my paper.

Oh, I'm sorry, it was, uh... Go get your own paper.

Can I get a cup of coffee, please?

Bye.

Hello?

Hey, kid, you in here?

You in here? I'm not going to hurt you.

Hey, kid, come on. You in?

Hello?

Hey, kid.

I walked in here and the whole thing came down.

Can you get it off? Hold on, hold on.

They don't make these feelings like they used to.

Yeah.

Now that you got me, are you going to turn me in?

Okay.

Let me get you out of here, all right?

Please. I can't. I can't feel my right leg.

All right, look.

I'm going to go get something, okay?

I guess I don't have to tell you.

Stay put, huh? I guess not.

All right.

All right.

What's happening?

There's got to be another door or window, huh?

Not down here. That's it.

It's the only way in. It's the only way out.

I don't know.

I think we're going to be here for a while.

Unless you brought some friends.

What's your name?

Any of your business?

What's yours?

Gary.

Gary Hopper.

Oh, Gary Hopper.

Are we gonna die?

Okay.

I eat a lot when I'm depressed.

Lost my goldfish today.

Flushed him right down the pipe.

You have any pets?

Be that way.

Ah, 1986,

huh?

There's a point of you keep the change.

Try to stay warm out there, huh, big guy?

I don't care when he gets back. I'm not saving him any.

Let him get his own.

Yes? How you doing?

Cold?

Ah, brisk, maybe.

I've been colder than this.

Get somebody in here in a minute.

Yeah, well, maybe try.

How about a night watchman or a security guard?

They don't come down here.

It's too dangerous.

That's why it's safe.

I had a crowbar. That's what I had to work with.

Yeah, well, I left my tools in the master bedroom.

I'm sorry.

For what?

For taking your wallet.

You wouldn't be here if I hadn't, right?

Wrong.

Then why'd you come?

Why'd I come?

I don't know.

Because I did.

Then you're out of your mind.

I can't believe I ate all that.

Hey, get away from there.

Gotta save some for Gary.

Even though he doesn't deserve it.

Where the hell is he anyway?

This is getting late.

Yeah? Hey, QQ.

Chuck, is Gary around?

No, he's not here.

You sure?

Well, yeah, I'm sure.

Can you look around?

Do you have any idea what time it is? I know it's late, but... We're closed.

All right.

Have a nice night.

Figures. I buy him dinner and the guy doesn't show up.

It's just like him now, isn't it?

Well, not really.

Today you will do a good deed.

Yeah, right.

I even got his fortune cookie.

Where is everyone?

It's 2 o 'clock in the morning. The night is still young.

What?

Hold it. Hold it.

Hold it!

Stop!

Hold!

Stop!

What do you think you're doing?

Look, this is an emergency. It's a matter of life and death.

I'll explain everything when we get there. Okay, but I tell you, it's going

be cold.

You just drive.

I'll worry about the fun.

Breast, huh?

Interesting.

Huh? Instead of cold, you said breast.

My dad... I went camping this one time. My dad...

Up in this lake in November.

That was cold.

You ever been camping in the wintertime?

What do you call that?

How do you get here?

You mean here under this pipe?

You got an answer for everything, don't you? If you want to survive, you have

to.

Yeah.

Okay, I'll tell you.

Um, let's see.

Where did I come from?

A lot of places I never wanted to be.

A lot of places I never want to talk about.

Where are your parents?

My grandparents.

I live in Arizona.

I was here when I was 12.

I've been out and around since then.

You've been out and around since you were 12 years old?

I do fine.

How about you?

Me?

You don't have anyone either, do you?

What makes you say something like that?

No people.

How much longer is that thing going to stay lit?

A couple hours.

Good. We'll be out of here by then.

You really believe that?

Yes, I do.

No wonder you got your wallet going.

What's this?

What? Where I'm going.

What do you mean? You don't understand.

You were supposed to take me to that place.

I got the address in here somewhere.

Wait.

Sorry, I ain't going there.

Whatever happened to life and death and emergency and all that?

Call a cab.

Call a cab?

Where am I going to get a cab? There are no cabs here.

Tony.

What?

That's my name.

That's it.

Sounds kind of strange. I haven't heard it for a while.

That's a good name.

Yeah.

Those are my grandfathers.

From Arizona.

How do you know that?

You told me.

I did?

I don't remember.

Tell me about what happened at home.

Do you want to hear?

Yeah, I do. Come on, tell me.

Come on.

Don't stop.

about it.

Things go wrong and you can't get them back.

So I left.

Got in the bus.

Never looked back until now.

Then what?

What?

What happened next?

It's getting warmer, isn't it? No, it's not. Come on, tell me that. Sure it is.

It's like someone turned on the heat. It feels good.

I'm getting sleepy.

Funny thing, you know.

You don't think about things for a long time, but then you do.

Maybe it's time we went better.

You're getting real tired.

Come on, kid.

Come on.

It's not time to go back. Come on, we gotta get out of here first.

Come on, let's go to sleep.

Hey, come on.

Come on, stay away.

Hey, come on.

Hey, kid.

Come on, stay away.

Come on, open your eyes. Stay away.

All right, come on, listen. I'll talk. You just keep your eyes open, huh?

Come on.

Come on, keep your eyes open. Stay away.

Kid.

Come on, don't do this to me.

Don't do this to me.

Come on, don't.

Don't do this to me! Come on!

Come on!

Hey! Hey!

Hey!

I've got a kid in here.

He's trapped under a pipe.

Way, way right here.

Gary!

Gary! Gary!

In here!

Chuck. Hey.

Yeah. I told you I'd bring you.

How you doing?

Hey,

Gary. Gary!

How you doing?

Doing a lot better now.

You really think Arizona might be okay?

I don't know, but I sure bet you it's going to be a hell of a lot warmer.

Don't forget you owe me 20 bucks.

Hey, you didn't see an orange cat running around the building, did you?

You

got

everything?

Yep.

Listen, uh, you could stay another night if you wanted.

It's okay. They said the heat would be back on in my place by noon. Good, good,

good.

Hey, uh, last night and all, uh... Thanks.

Yeah, it's nothing.

Hey.

I'm sorry about Spark.

Happens.

Is that kid gonna be okay?

Oh, yeah, yeah. He's flying home this morning.

Well, I guess I'll see you. Yeah, buddy, buddy. Take care. Thanks.

Boswell will be by for the rest of the month. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. I'll take

care of that. Don't worry about that.

Did you really mean what you said before about Anne?

No.

We're okay, right? Yeah.

I was not...

My

time has showed up.

Hey, you know anything about this hero complex?

Elizabeth Shue won many awards for her role alongside Nicolas Cage in Leaving

Las Vegas, even an Oscar nomination.

She stars alongside Lucy Liu and Jill Hennessy next this afternoon. A medical

miracle is about to change one young woman's life.

Molly, the lunchtime film, in just a few moments from now.
