Short filmTranscript
00:00:00Stan, there's a beautiful anvil cloud forming about two miles east of here.
00:00:23I'm going to go look for it.
00:00:53Stan, I'm confirming a storm moving southeast.
00:01:12Bizarre patterns, really picking up intensity.
00:01:16Possible twisters.
00:01:18I'm on concession 18 about three miles from the interstate.
00:01:21Yeah, okay, I got you pinpointed, Bob.
00:01:23And I'm following the system here.
00:01:29Stan, we've got a twister.
00:01:32It's forming not a mile from here heading south.
00:01:35Well, don't get too close.
00:01:37You're right, man, this is bizarre.
00:01:39As unpredictable as they've seen.
00:01:51Mommy, look what I made for you!
00:01:53Oh, no.
00:01:55Sir, this is just beautiful.
00:01:57Thank you so much.
00:01:59Mommy, the chickens, where are they?
00:02:01I don't know.
00:02:03I don't know.
00:02:05I don't know.
00:02:07I don't know.
00:02:09I don't know.
00:02:11I don't know.
00:02:13I don't know.
00:02:15I don't know.
00:02:17I don't know.
00:02:19Where are they?
00:02:21Sam?
00:02:23Yeah?
00:02:25Where are the chickens?
00:02:27I don't know.
00:02:31Hey!
00:02:33Hey!
00:02:39Hey!
00:02:41Tornado!
00:02:43What?
00:02:45Twister!
00:02:49Honey!
00:02:51Sarah, come on!
00:02:53In the root cellar, hurry!
00:02:55It's coming this way!
00:02:57Come on, get in!
00:02:59Sam!
00:03:19Come on.
00:03:49Nice bike.
00:03:51Yeah, it's not pink.
00:04:19Come on!
00:04:21Come on!
00:04:23Come on!
00:04:25Come on!
00:04:27Come on!
00:04:29Come on!
00:04:31Come on!
00:04:33Come on!
00:04:35Come on!
00:04:37Come on!
00:04:39Come on!
00:04:41Come on!
00:04:43Come on!
00:04:45Come on!
00:04:47Come on!
00:04:49Come on!
00:04:51Come on!
00:04:53Come on!
00:04:55Come on!
00:04:57Come on!
00:04:59Any minute now, folks.
00:05:01Any minute.
00:05:03While I have your attention,
00:05:05let me remind you...
00:05:07I just don't understand.
00:05:09The bank turned me down, Phil.
00:05:11I know, Jack, and I'm sorry,
00:05:13but they figured...
00:05:15You work for the bank, too, right?
00:05:17This was out of my hands. Larry Franklin...
00:05:19Larry Franklin?
00:05:21Larry Franklin and I played in the backfield
00:05:23together at the University of Nebraska.
00:05:25Now, how could he turn me down?
00:05:27That's not what it's about, Jack.
00:05:29It's about hard, cold business considerations.
00:05:31If I don't get this loan, Phil,
00:05:33I could lose my business.
00:05:35Jack, the place has been in the red for years.
00:05:37Well, things change, Phil.
00:05:39Come on, I can bring it back.
00:05:41I got the great new promotional stuff.
00:05:43Your business hasn't been the same
00:05:45since the Big Eight opened at the mall.
00:05:47As your banker,
00:05:49as your friend,
00:05:51I'm asking you to cut your losses
00:05:53and get on with life.
00:05:55I'll think of something, Phil.
00:05:59I got to go, Jack.
00:06:03Hey, Tony!
00:06:05We've just had a tornado report
00:06:07from the Nebraska Meteorological Center.
00:06:09It touched down 100 miles north of here.
00:06:11No injuries reported, but a house was destroyed.
00:06:13We'll keep you updated as we hear more.
00:06:15But, Jim, take an umbrella with you tomorrow.
00:06:41Go, go, go!
00:06:53Here they come!
00:06:55It looks like a repeat from last year!
00:06:59All right, let's hear it
00:07:01for our winner, Heather Kuklinski!
00:07:07Come on, go!
00:07:09Did you see him? Did you see Jack?
00:07:11No.
00:07:15Shoot, I hope he didn't get a flat tire
00:07:17or something.
00:07:19What do you think about that?
00:07:21You think that's funny?
00:07:23Now, folks, folks,
00:07:25don't anyone run off,
00:07:27because we still have the trophy presentation.
00:07:29And remember,
00:07:31we're going to raffle off this beautiful new racer
00:07:33donated by Wigley's Chain and Sprocket.
00:07:35Heather?
00:07:37Heather, come on up here.
00:07:41Can you come bowling later?
00:07:43No, I can't. I've got to work tonight.
00:07:45I always feel uncomfortable
00:07:47showing up on my own.
00:07:49Oh, you do not. Besides,
00:07:51I just can't do style anyway.
00:07:53Ha!
00:08:05Yo, Mad Dog.
00:08:07Hey.
00:08:09What happened?
00:08:11Crashed and burned.
00:08:13That's too bad. I figured you were good for at least 50th place.
00:08:15At least I competed.
00:08:17Well, bikes aren't my thing.
00:08:19What is your thing?
00:08:21Ice cream. Want a lick?
00:08:23No.
00:08:25What I want is to find a hole to crawl into.
00:08:27Come on, Dan. Stop being so hard on yourself.
00:08:29Guys like you and me
00:08:31are going to conquer the world with our awesome minds,
00:08:33not our stupid bikes.
00:08:35Ha!
00:08:37Hot chocolate, Dan?
00:08:39Um, no thanks, Grandma. I'll take it.
00:08:41Come on.
00:08:43There's no reason for that long face.
00:08:45You did the best you could, right?
00:08:47Right, Grandma.
00:08:49Okay, give me that.
00:08:51Have some hot chocolate
00:08:53and cheer up.
00:08:55Or I will give you
00:08:57such a smack on your head.
00:08:59Thank you.
00:09:01That's a good boy.
00:09:05Well, well, Jenny.
00:09:07How you been?
00:09:09As if you care.
00:09:11I've been traveling.
00:09:13Yeah, you've been traveling over to Jennifer Stewart's house
00:09:15is where you've been traveling.
00:09:17Harry,
00:09:19it's a small town.
00:09:21You can pick up news by osmosis.
00:09:25There's Dan. I can see him. We better get going.
00:09:27See you again, Harry.
00:09:31Jerk. They're all jerks.
00:09:33Well, they can't all be accidents.
00:09:35Maybe you like jerks.
00:09:37Maybe you're right.
00:09:39Guess that makes me a jerk, too.
00:09:41Oh, you'll get a nice guy one of these days.
00:09:43Won't she? Won't she, Ryan?
00:09:45Beginning to think it'll take a miracle.
00:09:47Oh,
00:09:49nice timing, Tiger.
00:09:51Diaper change.
00:09:53You go on ahead. Dan looks like he needs some support.
00:09:55Tell him I'll be right there?
00:09:57Yeah, sure. Hey, good race, huh?
00:09:59Thanks, Jen.
00:10:01Hey, Tiger. Hey, Aunt Jenny.
00:10:03Hi, Arthur. Hi, Jenny.
00:10:07What happened?
00:10:09He crashed and burned.
00:10:11Hey, I can speak for myself, thanks.
00:10:14He crashed and burned.
00:10:16Well, at least you didn't get hurt.
00:10:18Guess I'll just have to find a new sport.
00:10:20The only sport you haven't failed at is yo-yo.
00:10:23Shut up.
00:10:25Hey, Danny.
00:10:27Saw you walking your bike.
00:10:31Yeah, well, I fell off.
00:10:33You should have gotten right back on and kept riding, right?
00:10:35Why?
00:10:37I mean, I was completely out of it.
00:10:39Because, Dan, it's important to finish the things you start.
00:10:43Look, it's just a dumb bike race.
00:10:45No, no, it's not about what it is.
00:10:47It's about who you are.
00:10:49Look, I'm not an athlete, all right?
00:10:51Now, we know that for sure, okay?
00:10:53Danny, look, talent is God-given,
00:10:55but commitment, that's something you have to give yourself.
00:10:58Look, I hate to see you quit something that you haven't finished.
00:11:01You know what?
00:11:03I hate it when you do this.
00:11:05Do what? This, what you're doing right now.
00:11:07I hate what you're doing. Look, all I'm doing right now
00:11:09is I am telling you what I know is true.
00:11:11You need to get on that bike, and you need to finish this race.
00:11:13Look at the bike. The wheel is completely out of whack.
00:11:15I don't care if you have to drag the bike across the finish line.
00:11:18Now, you get on it, and you finish the race that you started.
00:11:20No. No, I'm not gonna do it.
00:11:23You do it, Dan.
00:11:25You do it.
00:11:31Yes, sir.
00:11:37Thank you.
00:11:41Thank you.
00:11:55Oh, hey.
00:11:57There's my little quarterback.
00:11:59Hi.
00:12:01All right, now.
00:12:03And the winner of the new
00:12:05Azuro Gardine and Deluxe Accessory Package...
00:12:09It's okay.
00:12:11Well, folks, if your name was on one of those,
00:12:13all I can say is, better luck next year.
00:12:15Okay, the winner is...
00:12:19Daniel Hatch!
00:12:21Dan, where are you?
00:12:23Hey! Huh?
00:12:25Way to go!
00:12:31Well done, well done. There you go.
00:12:33Thank you.
00:12:35Let her take it before she loses weight. There you go.
00:12:37Give her a hand, folks.
00:12:51All right, look, I've got to go, uh,
00:12:53pick up a new fuel pump for the truck.
00:12:55All right, there you go. Mommy's right here.
00:12:57You gonna be home in time to take me to work?
00:12:59Uh, Jenny, could you take her?
00:13:01No problem. What do you think?
00:13:03That's a beauty, a beauty.
00:13:05Hi. Um, is it all right if I go get a soda?
00:13:08Sure, honey, go ahead. Go somewhere.
00:13:10Now, wait a minute. Now, you remember,
00:13:12you have to be at your grandmother's in one hour to walk the dog.
00:13:14Yeah. One hour. She's not feeling too well.
00:13:16All right, okay, okay. Okay.
00:13:18Don't forget.
00:13:22Have fun.
00:13:24See you later.
00:13:29I'm telling you, it's anti-cyclonic.
00:13:31It's heading south, not north.
00:13:33Probably not in this hemisphere.
00:13:35I know what I saw. It's a rogue weather pattern.
00:13:38I know it's the wrong season,
00:13:40I know it's too cold,
00:13:42and I know it just happened.
00:13:54Don't you think it's a little weird
00:13:56we're still doing things like this?
00:13:58Come on, it'll be fun.
00:14:00It's not fun. It's stupid is what it is.
00:14:02What's the matter with you? It's not stupid.
00:14:08See that cumulus over Avena?
00:14:11Huh?
00:14:13Those big fluffy clouds, they're called cumulus.
00:14:15It means Dan is a doorknob in Latin.
00:14:17Oh, funny.
00:14:19I can't believe I won this bike.
00:14:21It's a great bike.
00:14:23Oh, it's an awesome bike. I just...
00:14:25I've never won anything before.
00:14:27It's what my grandpa would call a red-letter day.
00:14:29You know when big-time stuff happens you aren't expecting?
00:14:31Yeah, but then there'd have to be black-letter days.
00:14:33You mean like bad-news days?
00:14:35Yeah, like you knew in advance
00:14:37that you were going to fall off your bike
00:14:39and completely break your face or something.
00:14:41What did you want to know?
00:14:43Good stuff or the bad stuff?
00:14:45Either one.
00:14:47No, I don't think so.
00:14:49I mean, just because you know something's going to happen
00:14:51doesn't mean you can prevent it from happening, you know?
00:14:59There's some serious weather.
00:15:01Come on, let's head home.
00:15:03You know, one thing I might want to know in advance
00:15:05is when I'm going to see my first naked girl.
00:15:09Why?
00:15:11So you can prepare yourself to faint?
00:15:13Oh, very funny. You'll probably have to be hospitalized.
00:15:15Oh, yeah? I can see it now.
00:15:17Hey there, mad dog.
00:15:25Hi, Stacy.
00:15:29Hi.
00:15:31I hope I'm not interrupting anything too macho.
00:15:33No, no.
00:15:35We were just, um,
00:15:37uh, testing the ground.
00:15:39Yeah.
00:15:41Nice and soft.
00:15:43Hmm.
00:15:45So, uh, did Mom and Dad leave yet?
00:15:47Yeah, big romantic weekend out on the lake.
00:15:49Who's looking after you guys?
00:15:51I'm in charge.
00:15:53What could happen?
00:15:55Well, you could get sick eating too much pizza
00:15:57Just because you're a health freak
00:15:59doesn't mean I can't enjoy a little pizza now and then.
00:16:01Don't be so defensive, Lardo.
00:16:05It's a nice bike, Dan.
00:16:07Thanks.
00:16:09Come on.
00:16:11We better get home before it starts raining.
00:16:13Uh, Stacy, um,
00:16:15I can, uh,
00:16:17I can ride you double if you want.
00:16:19Uh, no thanks.
00:16:21I don't ride double.
00:16:23Come on, Stacy, let's go.
00:16:25Um, you know,
00:16:27I would ride double with you, Dan.
00:16:29If you ever got Harley.
00:16:31I love Harleys.
00:16:33Vroom!
00:16:35Um, what?
00:16:37Ah!
00:16:39Aren't we a little old for this kind of stuff?
00:16:49She's a pain, Dan.
00:16:51Yeah.
00:16:53Like you're not completely nuts for her.
00:16:57Come on.
00:16:59Let's get a pizza.
00:17:01You've just come face-to-face with the devil.
00:17:03Now you're probably in shock if you just don't know it.
00:17:07Hey, Bob, I'm gonna fax you some new data.
00:17:09Stand by.
00:17:19You wanna eat at my house tonight?
00:17:21What are you having?
00:17:23Caviar and champagne.
00:17:25Oh, China.
00:17:27Yeah, it'd be better than whatever Stacy's cooking.
00:17:33Oh, no.
00:17:35What?
00:17:37The dog.
00:17:39I forgot to walk Grandma's dog.
00:17:41Oh, no.
00:17:43I'll see you back at your place.
00:17:51Hell, we're predicting snow where you are.
00:17:53Now what is going on here?
00:17:55These instruments don't lie.
00:17:57Yeah.
00:18:03And neither do I.
00:18:05I'm gonna document this.
00:18:07Well, then head upstate.
00:18:09No, downstate.
00:18:11I'm going to Blainsworth, Stan.
00:18:13Downstate, Bob.
00:18:15This activity is moving northeast.
00:18:17I'll call you. I'll let you know what I've got.
00:18:19Over and out.
00:18:31All right, let's go. Come on.
00:18:33Up you go.
00:18:37In you go, Peg.
00:18:39Sit down, girl. Sit.
00:18:41Good girl.
00:18:45Grandma called me when you didn't show up.
00:18:47Sorry.
00:18:49Peg's got a hurt foot. I gotta take her to the vet anyway.
00:18:53I still don't understand what's going on with you, Danny.
00:18:55What's up?
00:19:01Why don't you go on home? I'll meet you there later.
00:19:07Smarten up, Dan.
00:19:17Jack.
00:19:25Jack.
00:19:27It seems to me
00:19:29that I can still remember
00:19:31when another young man used to help me out around here.
00:19:33That was a million years ago, wasn't it, Mom?
00:19:35Just the same.
00:19:37You treated responsibility
00:19:39like it was a plague.
00:19:41You did.
00:19:43Okay. Point well taken, Mom.
00:19:45You're welcome.
00:19:47You all right?
00:19:49Oh, sure. I'm fine.
00:19:51It's my old rheumatism
00:19:53acting up again.
00:19:57Weather's changing, huh?
00:19:59Oh, it sure is.
00:20:01I haven't felt
00:20:03these pains like this for a long time.
00:20:09A long, long time.
00:20:15A long, long time.
00:20:39Hey, Mad Dog.
00:20:41Hey. What's up?
00:20:43He's a pretty cute kid, huh?
00:20:45Yeah, he's cute, but, um...
00:20:47You ever change a diaper before?
00:20:49No. Not my thing.
00:20:51You, on the other hand,
00:20:53look like you were born to change dirty diapers.
00:20:55Thanks.
00:20:57So what are we having?
00:20:59Well, Mom cooked pot roast.
00:21:01Pot roast.
00:21:03Come on. Help me put Daddy's
00:21:05little quarterback to bed.
00:21:07There we are.
00:21:09Come on. Grab the carriage.
00:21:13Get the door.
00:21:15All right.
00:21:25You want to go to bed?
00:21:27Oh. You're sleepy.
00:21:29Come on.
00:21:31Ooh.
00:21:33There you go.
00:21:35There you go.
00:21:37There you go.
00:21:39Gosh, he's a cute kid, isn't he?
00:21:41I told you.
00:21:45Let's go downstairs and let this cute kid
00:21:47get to sleep.
00:21:49Come on. Stop playing.
00:21:51Good night.
00:21:59So this is your latest, huh?
00:22:01Yeah.
00:22:03It's no big deal.
00:22:05No, it's really cool.
00:22:07It's like two guys fishing
00:22:09in the desert, right?
00:22:11One of them's a kid.
00:22:13Right. I see it.
00:22:17I gave it to my dad for Father's Day.
00:22:19Oh, yeah? Must have been pretty stoked.
00:22:21No, actually, he doesn't like, uh...
00:22:23He doesn't like doing carvings.
00:22:25You staying for dinner, Arthur?
00:22:27Yes, ma'am.
00:22:29Well, that is if it's okay with you.
00:22:31It's fine.
00:22:33You can help Danny babysit.
00:22:35Again?
00:22:37But...
00:22:39I was gonna go out.
00:22:41Honey, I have to work. You know that.
00:22:43Yeah, I know.
00:22:45Look, I'm sorry.
00:22:47I'm sorry.
00:22:49Fresh pie for dessert?
00:22:51You don't have whipped cream, do you?
00:22:53Arthur, would I offer you pie
00:22:55without whipped cream?
00:22:57You know all my vices, Mrs. Hatch.
00:23:01Okay, that'll be Danny.
00:23:03I gotta go.
00:23:05Okay, so he won't be any trouble.
00:23:07Your dad'll be home soon, I promise.
00:23:09I'll make sure Dan does all the dishes and stuff.
00:23:11Thank you, Arthur.
00:23:13Mom?
00:23:19Was Dad pretty disappointed
00:23:21about the race today?
00:23:23Dad'll be disappointed until the day
00:23:25you win the Heisman Trophy.
00:23:29He loves you very much, Dan.
00:23:31I know. It's just...
00:23:35Sometimes I think that I should be...
00:23:37He loves you.
00:23:39Nothing else matters.
00:23:43Thanks, Mom.
00:23:57Hi. Hey, how you doing?
00:23:59You're early. Yeah, ready to go?
00:24:01Okay.
00:24:05Bye.
00:24:11What's the matter?
00:24:13Sometimes it does this, it stalls.
00:24:15It'll start in a sec.
00:24:17What's with you?
00:24:19Nothing.
00:24:21Jack's so hard on Dan sometimes, you know?
00:24:23Jack's hard on everybody.
00:24:25Especially himself.
00:24:27He cares so much about the man
00:24:29that Dan's gonna turn into.
00:24:31He forgets. He's not there yet, you know?
00:24:33I think Dan needs to feel like he's a pal
00:24:35as well as a father figure, you know?
00:24:41Do you know how lucky you are?
00:24:43I swear,
00:24:45what I wouldn't give to have your problems.
00:24:47You've got a great family,
00:24:49a husband who adores you,
00:24:51a couple of terrific kids.
00:24:53Be happy.
00:24:55You just wait.
00:24:57It's not all a bed of roses.
00:24:59Believe me.
00:25:01Believe me.
00:25:19Have you ever wished it was just you and your parents,
00:25:21not your sisters?
00:25:23Who would I annoy? You?
00:25:25Ryan's an okay kid.
00:25:27It's just hard to have a brother
00:25:29be adored, you know?
00:25:31Maybe they were trying to make up for their first mistake.
00:25:37Dan, it was just a joke.
00:25:39Why don't you put that thing down and help me dry?
00:25:41Huh?
00:25:43What's this for, anyway?
00:25:45It's a bullroar.
00:25:47The Native Americans use it to make rain.
00:25:49And...
00:25:51it works, doesn't it?
00:25:55Oh, man.
00:25:57I'm a ghost, Basil.
00:25:59My dad's gonna go completely postal.
00:26:05Dan?
00:26:07What?
00:26:09Your dad's coming up the driveway.
00:26:11Oh, great.
00:26:27Come on.
00:26:43Hello, Arthur.
00:26:45Mr. Hatch?
00:26:47You, uh, eating with us again there at Darlington?
00:26:51Yeah, well, my parents are at the lake
00:26:53and my sister's a lousy cook.
00:26:55Mom gone already?
00:26:57Yep.
00:26:59Ryan's upstairs.
00:27:01He's asleep.
00:27:03He's been out for a little while, so, uh...
00:27:05Hey, guys, guys. Hang on a second.
00:27:07You ever see what a, uh,
00:27:09meat mallet does to a porterhouse steak?
00:27:11No.
00:27:13No? What?
00:27:15Oh, about the same thing that a
00:27:17hailstone the size of a baseball does to a kid's bike.
00:27:19Especially a nice, shiny new one.
00:27:21I'm sorry.
00:27:23Oh, God.
00:27:33Oh.
00:27:35This is totally hard.
00:27:37Are you kidding? I love storms.
00:27:39In California, you're lucky if it rains like once a year.
00:27:41You know what?
00:27:43This isn't an L.A. theme park, all right?
00:27:45Let's go.
00:27:47Chill out, man. I'm starting to think you don't appreciate
00:27:49the qualities I bring to our friendship.
00:27:51Sorry.
00:27:53Here, let me help.
00:27:55You idiot.
00:27:57I don't need your help.
00:28:01This is unbelievable.
00:28:03I love this weather.
00:28:05Hurry up.
00:28:07Arthur, you've totally lost it.
00:28:21Thank you.
00:28:27Severe thunderstorm warnings for eastern Howard County.
00:28:29We have confirmed reports
00:28:31of funnel cloud sightings near Dannebrog.
00:28:33Stay tuned to KHAS
00:28:35for further updates.
00:28:37Better batten down the hatches out there, folks.
00:28:39This one could be a real gully washer.
00:28:41Death winds,
00:28:43the Indians call them.
00:28:45300-mile-an-hour winds.
00:28:47Drive a straw right through a telephone pole.
00:28:49Cut off your bones.
00:28:51Thanks for the play-by-play, Gus.
00:28:53Dannebrog's up north. They'll be getting the worst of it.
00:28:55Last year, tornado in Texas.
00:28:57Threw a whole herd of cattle clear across to the next county.
00:28:59Took the cleanup crew a week
00:29:01to pull them out of the trees.
00:29:03Gus, we really don't need to be hearing this right now.
00:29:05People are trying to eat.
00:29:07Only one thing to do. Grab what needs saving
00:29:09and hit the road.
00:29:11I can be in Kansas
00:29:13in an hour and a half.
00:29:15Anybody who wants to survive the night can drive with me.
00:29:17Most people killed by tornadoes are caught driving in their cars.
00:29:19Trapped.
00:29:21There's a terrible thought.
00:29:23Night like this,
00:29:25best place you can be is close to the basement or storm cellar.
00:29:27Could I have
00:29:29a large coffee to go, please?
00:29:31Surely.
00:29:33Kansas City Tornado Center.
00:29:35You heading up to Dannebrog?
00:29:37No, I think I'll stay around here for a while.
00:29:39You don't think there's any chance
00:29:41of it heading our way, do you?
00:29:43You never know.
00:29:45Let's hope for the best
00:29:47and prepare for the worst.
00:29:49Thanks for the coffee. Good night.
00:30:15Hello.
00:30:17You're home. Good.
00:30:19Hey, baby.
00:30:21Well, there've been some tornado sightings,
00:30:23and I just wanted to make sure you guys knew about it.
00:30:25Yeah, yeah, I know. They've been showing bulletins on the television
00:30:27every couple of minutes.
00:30:29Hey, Laura, hang on a second.
00:30:31What's up?
00:30:33We got more waitresses than customers.
00:30:35You and me have been sprung.
00:30:37Honey, did you hear that? I'm coming home.
00:30:39Yeah, you want me to come down?
00:30:41I'll get Jenny to pick me up.
00:30:43Me too.
00:31:05Guys, guys!
00:31:07Quiet down. You'll wake Ryan.
00:31:09Hey, hey, hey, hey!
00:31:11Sorry.
00:31:13Look, it sounds really...
00:31:15It sounds really great, but can you keep it down?
00:31:17I'm a little bit pleased it isn't nighttime.
00:31:19Yeah.
00:31:21Yes, sir.
00:31:23Thank you.
00:31:25My hands are raw, anyway.
00:31:27Want to play Nintendo?
00:31:29Sure, but
00:31:31let's get some more of that pie first.
00:31:33Are you always hungry?
00:31:35I can't play Nintendo
00:31:37on an empty stomach.
00:31:39Ha, ha, ha.
00:31:41God.
00:31:43Having Captain Harding here in the flesh
00:31:45was probably the best accelerator
00:31:47to the completion of my work here.
00:31:49The new games are, I mean...
00:31:51Harold Ferguson with another
00:31:53KHAS weather update.
00:31:55A tornado has been reported 14 miles
00:31:57northwest of Blainsworth,
00:31:59and the National Weather Service has issued
00:32:01a tornado warning for St. Paul,
00:32:03Dannebrog, and rural Howard County.
00:32:05Persons in these vicinities
00:32:07are urged to take every possible precaution.
00:32:09Stay tuned to
00:32:11KHAS for immediate weather updates
00:32:13on this emergency situation.
00:32:15It's pretty intense.
00:32:17Danny, why don't you go in the kitchen and plug all the
00:32:19appliances. I know, I know, I know.
00:32:21Come on.
00:32:23Give him a hand, Arthur.
00:32:37Why are you doing this?
00:32:39Well, because if the lightning hits
00:32:41the house and all the appliances
00:32:43just blow.
00:32:45Cool.
00:32:51Come on, Mom. Answer the phone, would you please?
00:32:54Phone ringing.
00:33:20Guys.
00:33:22Come on.
00:33:24I'm going to go check on your grandmother.
00:33:26Your mom is coming back from work right now.
00:33:28Oh, listen. If things get out of hand,
00:33:30I want you to remember
00:33:32to take care of your...
00:33:34Just don't forget about your brother, alright?
00:33:36I'm not going to forget my brother.
00:33:38Danny, don't forget.
00:33:52Phone ringing.
00:34:08Hello?
00:34:10It's me, sweetheart. Put your dad on the phone.
00:34:12Oh, he just went to check on Grandma.
00:34:14Shoot.
00:34:16The phones are out at the bowling alley.
00:34:18I can't get in touch with your Aunt Jenny.
00:34:20Mom?
00:34:24Mom?
00:34:28Mom?
00:34:36Dad!
00:34:38Dad!
00:34:50Dad.
00:35:10Stop.
00:35:12Still Dad?
00:35:14Yeah. Maybe I should try and make it home.
00:35:16No, you can't go out with them in the market.
00:35:18You can't go out there.
00:35:20Can you please calm down?
00:35:22You're freaking me out, okay?
00:35:24Everything's going to be fine.
00:35:26What do you know about tornadoes?
00:35:28Huh? You're from California.
00:35:30What can you possibly know?
00:35:32Nay on my tornado report.
00:35:34Yeah, but you cheated.
00:35:36Okay, look.
00:35:38Dannebrock and St. Paul are both north of Blainsworth, right?
00:35:40Yeah, so?
00:35:42So tornadoes always move
00:35:44from southwest to northeast.
00:35:46It can only possibly get farther away from us, not closer.
00:35:48It'll probably head off that way someplace.
00:35:50What is that?
00:35:52Okay, let's go.
00:35:54Grab that window right there.
00:36:08All right, what do we do now?
00:36:10What?
00:36:12Okay.
00:36:14Um, I want you to grab the lantern,
00:36:16a flashlight,
00:36:18and a blanket. I'm going to go get Ryan.
00:36:20Well, could you try it again, please?
00:36:22I'm sorry, ma'am.
00:36:24All the faults are down in that area.
00:36:26All right.
00:36:28Thank you.
00:36:36Come on.
00:36:38Up we go.
00:36:40Come on. Up we go.
00:36:42It stopped!
00:36:46Yeah, I guess they changed their minds, huh?
00:36:50It stopped falling.
00:36:54That's weird.
00:36:56Maybe the weather signals
00:36:58just got crossed or something.
00:37:00It can happen.
00:37:02I read this whole book once where
00:37:04a whole fleet of ships were sent out to sea, right?
00:37:06And there were all kinds
00:37:08of hurricane warnings, but
00:37:10hurricanes never came.
00:37:12Yeah, well,
00:37:14you, mister,
00:37:16you are going back to sleep.
00:37:18Here we go.
00:37:20Flying.
00:37:22There you go.
00:37:24Oh, it's okay. It's okay.
00:37:26Go, go, go.
00:37:40Go, go, go.
00:37:56Forget the door. Get inside the car.
00:37:58Oh, Jenny, thank God you're okay.
00:38:00Oh, come on.
00:38:02Come on. Don't do this.
00:38:04What's the matter?
00:38:06What's the matter is I can't afford the maintenance on this car,
00:38:08and when it gets wet, sometimes this thingamabob
00:38:10doesn't work.
00:38:12Try it again.
00:38:14All right.
00:38:16God.
00:38:18Let's take cover inside.
00:38:20I knew your dad was a jock.
00:38:22I didn't know he was, like, Steve Young or something.
00:38:28I'm sorry.
00:38:30I'm sorry.
00:38:32I'm sorry.
00:38:34I'm sorry.
00:38:36I'm sorry.
00:38:38I'm sorry.
00:38:40I'm sorry.
00:38:42I'm sorry.
00:38:44I'm sorry.
00:38:46I'm sorry.
00:38:49So, uh,
00:38:51why didn't he make it to the pros?
00:38:53He blew out his knee in spring practice
00:38:55in his senior year.
00:38:57I guess he figures cuz you're his son and all
00:38:59he should be better at sports, huh?
00:39:01You ask a lot of questions, don't you?
00:39:03Can't find stuff out otherwise.
00:39:08Wow.
00:39:09One Mississippi, two Mississippi...
00:39:11We're getting pretty close, man.
00:39:18It's Twister, N.E.M.! It's Twister!
00:39:22Ah!
00:39:24Aw, man.
00:39:26Don't worry, it's not broken.
00:39:28You're going to wreck the whole house before the night is over.
00:39:30It just needs a new light bulb.
00:39:32Do you have one somewhere, anywhere?
00:39:39Okay, there's got to be some bulbs in here somewhere.
00:39:42Anywhere.
00:39:47Will you stop playing with that thing?
00:39:49I'm not.
00:39:50What do you mean you're not?
00:40:02Dad?
00:40:04Do the right, do the right, do the right!
00:40:07I'm going to get the tracks to the radio and see if I can get the weather channel.
00:40:12Okay.
00:40:18Siren?
00:40:20Did you make up your mind?
00:40:33Dad, there was this guy while I was trying to get the weather channel,
00:40:36and then the whole thing just went blank.
00:40:39What does that thing mean?
00:40:42Basically, it means we're in deep trouble.
00:40:54Dad! Dad, I've got to go home!
00:40:59Listen to me. Listen to me, all right?
00:41:01Okay. Okay.
00:41:03Okay. You're not going anywhere.
00:41:05It's too dangerous outside, okay?
00:41:07Okay! Okay!
00:41:15Get up. Get up!
00:41:17All right!
00:41:19I'm going downstairs, all right?
00:41:21Okay! Okay! Okay!
00:41:23All right, I'm going to get Ryan. Come with me.
00:41:25Grab this.
00:41:29Good. Let's go. Come on.
00:41:31I'll meet you downstairs, okay?
00:41:33Okay! Okay!
00:41:37Dad!
00:42:07Dad!
00:42:37Dad!
00:42:39Dad!
00:43:05Dad! Dad, where are you?
00:43:09Dad!
00:43:17Come on, Ryan!
00:43:21Dad! Dad!
00:43:23Dad!
00:43:25Dad!
00:43:27Come on! Come on!
00:43:29Dad! Dad!
00:43:31Dad! Dad!
00:43:33Man.
00:43:35Okay.
00:43:37Okay, put the light up there, okay?
00:43:39It's okay. It's okay.
00:43:41What do you want me to put the light up there?
00:43:43On the hook. You see the hook? Put it on the hook.
00:43:45All right, come on.
00:43:47Okay. Inside, inside.
00:43:49Listen.
00:43:51Listen to me carefully, okay?
00:43:53Do you see this thing right here?
00:43:55I want you to take it and put it on the ledge, all right?
00:43:57Now sit down.
00:43:59Sit.
00:44:05It's okay. It's okay.
00:44:07All right. Dan?
00:44:09All right, Dan. I have to go home and check out my sisters.
00:44:12I have to make sure they're okay. Something might have happened to them, all right?
00:44:15No. No, hey! Hey, sit down!
00:44:18It's here, all right? Can't you see it? It's here!
00:44:21Look!
00:44:31It stopped.
00:44:35I think your mom's home.
00:44:37Ms. Satch! No, that's not my mom!
00:44:39We're down here! That's not my mom!
00:44:43Oh, man.
00:44:45Where are you going? Come on! Get in!
00:44:53Let's go! Get in!
00:44:55Okay.
00:45:03It's okay. We're gonna die!
00:45:05Shh. It's okay.
00:45:08The blanket over us. I got it.
00:45:10Come on!
00:45:25No!
00:45:33I miss my mom.
00:45:35And my dad.
00:45:37And my aunt.
00:45:39I miss my brother.
00:45:41I miss my mom.
00:46:12Oh.
00:46:17Now we're alive.
00:46:23Okay.
00:46:25What if we're the only ones left?
00:46:27Shh. It's okay.
00:46:35Great.
00:46:37Shh. It's okay.
00:46:39It's okay.
00:46:42We're trapped.
00:46:44There's gotta be another way out of here somehow.
00:46:46Like...
00:46:56There's a hole.
00:46:58Where?
00:47:02We have to climb.
00:47:06She's gonna fall right in!
00:47:08And we gotta get out of here!
00:47:10We gotta get out of here!
00:47:12Shh. It's okay.
00:47:18Hey, here.
00:47:22Alright, Ryan. It's alright, buddy.
00:47:26Up?
00:47:28You got him?
00:47:30Yeah, I got him.
00:47:34You gotta hurry, okay?
00:47:36Hurry!
00:47:40Hurry!
00:47:54Oh, man.
00:47:56Oh, God.
00:48:02The whole house.
00:48:06This is like a nightmare. I can't believe this.
00:48:10Come on.
00:48:22It's alright, Ryan.
00:48:24Hey. Hey, little guy.
00:48:26Shh. Shh. Shh. Shh.
00:48:28Hey.
00:48:30Ooh, there's my guy.
00:48:34You did good, Ryan.
00:48:36Yeah, you're a climber.
00:48:38Come on. We better go.
00:48:44Come on.
00:48:46I've gotta find my sisters.
00:48:50We apologize for the interruption in transmission.
00:48:52Five minutes ago,
00:48:54a twister ripped through the Capitol Heights area
00:48:56I gotta go.
00:48:58Settle down, honey. Know as well as I do,
00:49:00Jack's got everything under control.
00:49:02If you go out there, you'll get yourself killed.
00:49:04Jack's taking care of them.
00:49:07We'll be together as soon as he can.
00:49:11It's alright.
00:49:13Hey, it's okay.
00:49:15Arthur!
00:49:17Stacy?
00:49:21Shh. Shh. Shh. Shh.
00:49:23Oh, God.
00:49:27Come on, Sue.
00:49:29I'm so scared.
00:49:33We should get to town.
00:49:35They probably have an emergency center
00:49:37and there's bound to be some sort of communication system, right?
00:49:39Right.
00:49:41It's so dark. I'm scared.
00:49:43Yeah, well, I mean, it's only two miles down the road.
00:49:47Let's go.
00:49:49What if it starts again?
00:49:51That's why we should hurry.
00:49:53I'm scared.
00:49:55Come on.
00:49:57Come on. I'll carry you on my back.
00:50:05Just think.
00:50:07Not too long ago, me and Arthur were back at the house
00:50:09and we had broken a lamp
00:50:11and we were all worried about it.
00:50:13Huh?
00:50:15I hope we can find it now.
00:50:21You see those searchlights down there?
00:50:23Yeah.
00:50:25That's where we need to go.
00:50:27It's so creepy.
00:50:29Yeah.
00:50:33Dad.
00:50:39Dad.
00:50:41Dad.
00:50:43Dad.
00:50:45Dad.
00:50:47Who is that?
00:50:50Who is that?
00:50:56Is he okay?
00:50:58He's dead.
00:51:04Do you know who he is?
00:51:06Mr. Roth.
00:51:08From the bank.
00:51:10Come on.
00:51:12Let's get out of here, okay?
00:51:16We could take his car.
00:51:18I can't drive.
00:51:22I'll drive.
00:51:24Come on.
00:51:26Come on, Mom.
00:51:30Let's go. Come on, guys.
00:51:32Arthur.
00:51:34Another baby, Arthur.
00:51:36Arthur, be careful.
00:51:38Come on, guys.
00:51:40Come on.
00:51:46Have you ever seen a dead body before?
00:51:48None of us have, Arthur.
00:52:10Come on.
00:52:28Oh, please, God, let them be here.
00:52:30Have you seen Jack and my boys?
00:52:32He'll be okay. He'll be all right.
00:52:35Have you seen Jack and my boys?
00:52:37He'll be okay. He'll be all right.
00:53:01They're not here.
00:53:03All right, this is the last time I'm here.
00:53:05What?
00:53:09Okay.
00:53:13Hey, hey, come on, now.
00:53:15Come on.
00:53:17The hatchmen are tough.
00:53:19They'll survive, all right?
00:53:21Hang in there.
00:53:23Thank you.
00:53:25Come here. Here you go.
00:53:27It's gonna be okay, all right?
00:53:33The road to Grandma's house is blocked.
00:53:47Have you seen my dad?
00:53:49No, sorry.
00:53:51He went down the road to get my grandma.
00:53:53I gotta get through, all right?
00:53:55You can't. There's broken gas lines all over the place.
00:53:57He could be hurt. I mean, he could be dying.
00:53:59I gotta get through.
00:54:01Look, your dad's probably at the emergency center in town with your grandma now.
00:54:03Why don't you kids just get out of the car?
00:54:05We'll have someone take you into town, all right?
00:54:07You shouldn't be driving anyway.
00:54:09Come on, get out of the car.
00:54:11Get out of the car.
00:54:13What are you gonna do?
00:54:15Take Lyne with you.
00:54:17Okay, I just don't understand.
00:54:19Just get out of the car.
00:54:21Come on.
00:54:23Everything's gonna be just fine.
00:54:25Get out, please.
00:54:27No, I'm going to stay with you all night.
00:54:30Dan!
00:54:32Don't you dare!
00:54:34I mean it, Dan!
00:54:36Come back here!
00:54:52Would you slow down?
00:54:54Look, would you stop telling me how to drive?
00:54:56Look, I'm not telling you how to drive.
00:54:58I'm just trying to be helpful.
00:55:00Then stop screaming in my ear and closing your eyes
00:55:02because it's not exactly helpful, okay?
00:55:04I'm sorry.
00:55:10Do you think we're gonna get in trouble
00:55:12for going through that roadblock?
00:55:14It doesn't matter now.
00:55:28Hey, stop!
00:55:44Grandma!
00:55:46Mrs. Hatt?
00:55:48Dad!
00:55:58Grandma!
00:56:00Mrs. Hatt!
00:56:04Grandma!
00:56:06Help!
00:56:08Dad!
00:56:10I'm over here!
00:56:12Can you hear that?
00:56:14Yeah.
00:56:18I'm over here!
00:56:20I'm over here!
00:56:22Come on, come on, come on.
00:56:28Grandma!
00:56:30Are you okay?
00:56:34Mrs. Hatt, you're bleeding.
00:56:36I hope the animals are still alive.
00:56:38Come on, get these boards off.
00:56:42Grab that.
00:56:50Here.
00:56:52Here, we're gonna pull you out.
00:56:54All right.
00:56:56Here we go.
00:56:58Come on, up we go.
00:57:04What were you doing out there, huh?
00:57:06Look, it was the animals.
00:57:08The guy was taking them out.
00:57:10They were so scared.
00:57:12Listen to me.
00:57:14Did you see my dad?
00:57:16No, I didn't.
00:57:18Oh, my God.
00:57:20Oh, my God.
00:57:23I think she's going into shock.
00:57:25Hey, whoa, come on, come on.
00:57:27Hey, listen.
00:57:29Come on, all right?
00:57:31We're gonna go back to the car, okay?
00:57:33Okay?
00:57:35Grab my hand.
00:57:37All right, stay with me, okay?
00:57:39Here we go, come on.
00:57:41It's okay, I got you.
00:57:53It's all right.
00:57:55It'll be all right.
00:57:57It'll be all right.
00:58:03At least four separate tornadoes
00:58:05have touched down so far.
00:58:07No accurate injury count
00:58:09or damage estimate.
00:58:11Three are confirmed dead.
00:58:15Is the worst over?
00:58:17There's just too many meteorological anomalies
00:58:19here for us to make any accurate guesses.
00:58:21We have tracked one tornado.
00:58:23It's at least a five on the Fujita scale.
00:58:25It's anti-cyclonic,
00:58:27which is the opposite of 99.9%
00:58:29of your tornadoes in this hemisphere.
00:58:31The whole storm system
00:58:33has been moving from the northwest
00:58:35to the southeast,
00:58:37which I personally have never seen before.
00:58:39That is, when it's moving at all.
00:58:41In 20 years, this area hasn't had a twister in the fall.
00:58:43Not like this.
00:58:45It's unusual.
00:58:47But you can't second-guess Mother Nature.
00:58:49What can you predict?
00:58:51All I can say is this storm is a monster
00:58:53and it's not behaving in any predictable way.
00:58:57It's just sitting right over the city.
00:59:01At this point,
00:59:03your prediction's as good as mine.
00:59:15You have to drive in this way.
00:59:17I mean, it's the only road.
00:59:19Keep your eyes off to the side.
00:59:21Maybe they blew off.
00:59:23Yeah.
00:59:27Hang in there, Grandma.
00:59:29I knew this twister wasn't gonna kill me.
00:59:31How?
00:59:33I thought it was gonna kill us all.
00:59:35When I was a girl,
00:59:37we had this
00:59:39terrible twister.
00:59:41Alls I remember
00:59:43was my mama
00:59:46and me so tight
00:59:48and screaming
00:59:50and everything crashing
00:59:52around us all.
00:59:54It was like the Four Horsemen
00:59:56of the Apocalypse.
00:59:58And then
01:00:00I saw an angel
01:00:02and I said to her,
01:00:04Angel,
01:00:06if you come here to take me
01:00:08up to heaven,
01:00:10she just smiled
01:00:12and she said,
01:00:14Oh, Bill,
01:00:16a spring's heifer
01:00:18will bring you up to heaven.
01:00:22And since then,
01:00:24when the twisters come,
01:00:26I just close my eyes
01:00:28and see that sweet smiling face
01:00:30and hear those words
01:00:32and all fears just go away.
01:00:34There's Dad.
01:00:36Listen,
01:00:38if she wakes up,
01:00:40don't let her out,
01:00:42because I don't want her to see him right now.
01:00:44Right?
01:00:46Yeah.
01:00:48Dad?
01:00:50Daddy?
01:00:52Dad!
01:00:54Oh, God.
01:00:56Oh, God.
01:00:58Okay.
01:01:00Hey.
01:01:03Okay.
01:01:05What am I going to do?
01:01:07Your mom and Ryan, they're okay, right?
01:01:09Ryan's okay.
01:01:11Mom didn't make it back.
01:01:13Grandma's in the backseat.
01:01:15She got hit over the head.
01:01:17She's talking weird.
01:01:19We've got to get your grandma
01:01:21to the hospital.
01:01:23You've got to help me get out
01:01:25from underneath this truck.
01:01:27Okay.
01:01:29Stacy?
01:01:31Okay.
01:01:33I'm going to push this, all right?
01:01:35Okay.
01:01:37On the count of three, okay?
01:01:39Okay, one, two, three.
01:01:41Push.
01:01:43Oh, God.
01:01:45She's dead.
01:01:47Daddy, stop.
01:01:49Sorry.
01:01:51It's okay.
01:01:53Come on.
01:01:55Listen, it's all right.
01:01:57I want you to listen to me, son.
01:01:59You have to go get help.
01:02:01There's a roadblock down at the fort.
01:02:03All right, you can find some help there.
01:02:05Now go get some help.
01:02:07It's all right.
01:02:09I don't need you cornering me.
01:02:11Take it.
01:02:13All right.
01:02:15Look, we'll be back, all right?
01:02:17Okay?
01:02:19Okay, son.
01:02:29Shit.
01:02:45All right, Dan, out you get.
01:02:47My grandma needs help.
01:02:49Hey, guys, guys, come on, let's go.
01:02:51The lady needs help here.
01:02:53Did you find your dad?
01:02:55Yeah, he's about a mile up the road.
01:02:58He's been under his truck.
01:03:00We got to go.
01:03:02Is he hurt bad?
01:03:04He was talking okay, but I couldn't tell.
01:03:06Look, we got to go.
01:03:08Okay, but you're going into town with your friend and grandma.
01:03:10I'm coming with you.
01:03:12Please, sir.
01:03:14All right.
01:03:16All right.
01:03:18Come up here.
01:03:20All right.
01:03:22Grandma, I'm going to be back, okay?
01:03:24Hang in there, all right?
01:03:26All right.
01:03:40She's a good mother.
01:03:42She always felt guilty about working and leaving the kids.
01:03:44What can you do?
01:03:46It's the 90s, and times are tough.
01:03:48My sister's a single mother.
01:03:50Three boys.
01:03:52I know what you mean.
01:03:54I wish there was something I could do for Laura.
01:04:00I can take her to her house.
01:04:02I've got a car,
01:04:04if it hasn't been blown out of the parking lot.
01:04:06Really?
01:04:08I shouldn't be sitting around here
01:04:10any way I'm supposed to be working.
01:04:12Right. You're a...
01:04:14Meteorologist.
01:04:16A meteorologist.
01:04:18How nice.
01:04:20What do you do?
01:04:22I'm an insurance claims adjuster.
01:04:29I guess you should be thinking about a change of career.
01:04:33Yeah.
01:04:35Let the rain take the weight.
01:04:37Raise it a little more.
01:04:39Good.
01:04:41Easy, guys.
01:04:43Push, guys.
01:04:45That's it.
01:04:49Grab a two-by-four off the truck.
01:04:52Come on, hurry!
01:04:56Keep it up there, guys.
01:04:58Under the frame, Dan.
01:05:00That's it, that's it.
01:05:02All right, back her down.
01:05:04Let's get him out of here.
01:05:08Can you move your legs?
01:05:10Yeah, I can move my legs.
01:05:12Take it easy.
01:05:14My shoulder.
01:05:16Easy.
01:05:18I'm here.
01:05:22Thank you, son.
01:05:32Come on, Danny.
01:05:34Let's go.
01:05:529-0-8-4, what's your 20?
01:05:569-0-8-4, I'm in Capitol Heights.
01:05:58I'm headed to the community hall with some survivors.
01:06:00Over.
01:06:02Forget that, Calvert.
01:06:04We need you down here.
01:06:06Bring him with you.
01:06:08Roger.
01:06:10I'm sure Laura's at the community hall.
01:06:12That's where they're taking most people.
01:06:14Yeah, well, listen, Calvert.
01:06:16She might still be at work.
01:06:18She works at the Salty Dog restaurant.
01:06:20It's not that far away.
01:06:22What do you say?
01:06:24Okay.
01:06:40Mom?
01:06:42Laura?
01:06:46Laura!
01:06:48Laura!
01:06:56It's Aunt Jenny's car.
01:06:58Laura, honey!
01:07:06Jack!
01:07:08Jack, look!
01:07:10The yellow X.
01:07:12It means they've taken the survivors to one of the shelters.
01:07:15Which shelter?
01:07:17I'm not sure.
01:07:19Jack!
01:07:21They take the people who didn't make it
01:07:23to the morgue they set up at the community center.
01:07:37We're gonna find Mom.
01:07:41Your mom is gonna be okay, Danny.
01:07:45Come on.
01:07:47It's gonna be all right.
01:07:53Laura, I brought us a ride.
01:07:55This is Bob.
01:07:57Hi. You look familiar.
01:07:59About two hours ago,
01:08:01you were pouring me a cup of coffee.
01:08:03Of course.
01:08:05Let's go this way.
01:08:09There's a tornado coming!
01:08:11People, quickly!
01:08:13People, quickly!
01:08:15This way!
01:08:19Come on!
01:08:21Come on!
01:08:23No!
01:08:43Right this way, we'll get some more chocolate for you folks.
01:08:45Here we go.
01:08:47All right.
01:08:49How's that feel now?
01:08:51Much better.
01:08:53And what if it's dislocated?
01:08:55That's gonna be real tender for a while,
01:08:57but you're gonna survive.
01:08:59Survive better than a police station did.
01:09:03Hey, what are you guys doing here?
01:09:05They were too busy to take us to the emergency center.
01:09:07Yeah, I guess if we gotta be somewhere,
01:09:09it's a lot cooler to be at a police command post.
01:09:11Police command post.
01:09:13Is there any word on my mom?
01:09:15It's been so crazy around here, nobody knows anything.
01:09:17What happened?
01:09:19They took her away in an ambulance.
01:09:21I don't know where she went.
01:09:23That was really cool the way you just slid through that barricade.
01:09:25I was nothing.
01:09:27Don't be so modest, Dan.
01:09:29I was very brave of you.
01:09:31I wasn't courage, it was more desperation.
01:09:35Right.
01:09:41Danny.
01:09:43Yes, sir?
01:09:45Listen, I'm gonna go out and see what I can find out about your mom.
01:09:47I want you to stay here and watch Ryan.
01:09:49Stacy can watch Ryan, I mean, I think I should go.
01:09:51Listen, I don't have time to stand here and argue with you about this.
01:09:53Now, I gave you an order, I want you to obey it.
01:09:55Period.
01:09:57But she's my mom.
01:09:59Dan, that is enough.
01:10:01It's enough, Danny.
01:10:07It's fine.
01:10:11Well, that's heading up to Annenberg Way.
01:10:13I think we should take the backwards, don't you?
01:10:15Yeah, it's a good idea, definitely.
01:10:17There's Belle.
01:10:19What happened? Is she gonna be all right?
01:10:21Yeah, she's gonna be fine.
01:10:23Belle. Oh, Belle.
01:10:25Boy, you sure took a knock in the head, huh?
01:10:27A knock?
01:10:29What do you mean?
01:10:33Belle, did you see Jack and the boys?
01:10:35I, um...
01:10:38I, um...
01:10:40I saw...
01:10:42I don't know.
01:10:44What, Belle?
01:10:46What did you see? Danny and Ryan?
01:10:48Where are they?
01:10:50I'm afraid she's a little woozy.
01:10:52Please, Belle.
01:10:54Please.
01:10:58I'm sorry.
01:11:02What was it you wanted, sweetie?
01:11:04Nothing.
01:11:06You just rest.
01:11:20If you, uh, still want to,
01:11:22the car's okay and it's ready to go.
01:11:24Absolutely.
01:11:26Okay.
01:11:34What if it's not over?
01:11:36What if it starts again?
01:11:38You're scaring her, Arthur.
01:11:44Give me a California earthquake any day.
01:11:46I'd rather fall down into the earth
01:11:48than be sucked up into the sky.
01:11:52Well, maybe I'm scared too,
01:11:54but maybe talking about it makes me feel better.
01:11:56Well, maybe it makes me feel worse.
01:11:58I want my mom and dad.
01:12:00I can't get here right now, Arthur.
01:12:02When will they be here?
01:12:04As soon as they can.
01:12:32I love you.
01:12:34I love you.
01:12:36I love you.
01:12:38I love you.
01:12:40I love you.
01:12:42I love you.
01:12:44I love you.
01:12:46I love you.
01:12:48I love you.
01:12:50I love you.
01:12:52I love you.
01:12:54I love you.
01:12:56I love you.
01:12:58I love you.
01:13:00I love you.
01:13:02I love you.
01:13:08That was beautiful.
01:13:10Thank you.
01:13:12Where'd you learn to play like that?
01:13:14My dad.
01:13:16Really? He doesn't seem the type.
01:13:18He's not.
01:13:20Jack Hatch isn't my real dad.
01:13:22He isn't?
01:13:24No, I, uh...
01:13:26Look,
01:13:29I'm not the first person I've ever told this,
01:13:31but, um,
01:13:33my real dad,
01:13:35he died when I was six.
01:13:37You see,
01:13:39he liked to fly these small planes,
01:13:41and...
01:13:43one time, he, um...
01:13:45he never came back.
01:13:47That's awful.
01:13:49Yeah.
01:13:53His name was Daniel.
01:13:55He played in a band
01:13:57in Nebraska.
01:13:59He played the flute.
01:14:01The flute.
01:14:05He wasn't a quarterback.
01:14:07Jack was the quarterback.
01:14:09Jack just wants me to be an athlete,
01:14:11but
01:14:13I'm not gonna be an athlete.
01:14:15So to him,
01:14:17I'm just a big disappointment.
01:14:19Just a piece of baggage.
01:14:23That's why they hit Ryan.
01:14:25You don't know that.
01:14:29You know, sometimes
01:14:33I think it'd be better if I was on that plane.
01:14:35Don't say that.
01:14:37No, it's true. I mean,
01:14:39I think it'd be better that I died
01:14:41with a father that loves me
01:14:43than be stuck with a father who pretends to care about me,
01:14:45you know?
01:14:49Well,
01:14:51do you like him?
01:14:54I guess so.
01:14:57Why?
01:14:59Why?
01:15:01God.
01:15:05Well, he's, um...
01:15:07he works hard.
01:15:09He's good to my mom.
01:15:11He can be funny at times.
01:15:15Does he know you like him?
01:15:20I don't know.
01:15:22Well,
01:15:24maybe you both like each other
01:15:26more than you think,
01:15:28but
01:15:30neither of you know it.
01:15:42This is very kind of you.
01:15:44Thank you.
01:15:46Don't thank me until we get to your house.
01:15:48This thing may not be over yet.
01:15:52Yeah?
01:15:54I'm having trouble with your signal, Chuck.
01:15:56Okay?
01:16:02Wendy.
01:16:04Yeah, I saw Sam.
01:16:06He's doing fine.
01:16:08He's helping the road crew.
01:16:10I'm all right.
01:16:12No.
01:16:16The kid's doing okay?
01:16:18Yeah.
01:16:20About as well as you can expect.
01:16:22That'll do him good to sleep.
01:16:24Finally.
01:16:26Chuck, you there?
01:16:28Howard just came back out.
01:16:31What are you doing?
01:16:49Yeah, now the damn transmitter's
01:16:51out at the community hall.
01:16:53We don't know what's going on.
01:16:55Jack's gonna try to get over there with the new one.
01:16:57I understand.
01:16:59Yeah.
01:17:01I'm sure.
01:17:03I just want to get over to the community center.
01:17:05Make sure Laura and Jenny are there and okay.
01:17:07I'm sure they're fine.
01:17:09And I and Danny.
01:17:11I hope we see the last of these twisters.
01:17:13This is over, I can tell.
01:17:15Yeah, you're right. Worst ever, huh?
01:17:17Yeah.
01:17:19We never see anything like that again.
01:17:21It's hard to believe just a few hours ago
01:17:23we were at a bike race in the middle of town.
01:17:25I guess a Kiwanis pancake breakfast
01:17:27tomorrow.
01:17:29Nice they go ahead with the sunrise service.
01:17:31Well, better get going.
01:17:33Go around by the water tower and avoid the main street.
01:17:35Hey, what am I driving?
01:17:37Three Jeep 4x4.
01:17:39Outback.
01:17:45It's 4 a.m.
01:17:47About a half hour tops.
01:17:49Thanks, Dad.
01:17:57It's 4 a.m.
01:17:59It's 4 a.m.
01:18:01It's 4 a.m.
01:18:03It's 4 a.m.
01:18:05It's 4 a.m.
01:18:07It's 4 a.m.
01:18:09It's 4 a.m.
01:18:11It's 4 a.m.
01:18:13It's 4 a.m.
01:18:15It's 4 a.m.
01:18:17It's 4 a.m.
01:18:19It's 4 a.m.
01:18:21It's 4 a.m.
01:18:23It's 4 a.m.
01:18:25It's 4 a.m.
01:18:27It's 4 a.m.
01:18:29It's 4 a.m.
01:18:33It's just the next drive up there.
01:18:35This one here?
01:18:37Oh, no.
01:18:39No.
01:18:51Please be a place.
01:18:53Danny?
01:18:57Danny?
01:18:59Danny, are you here?
01:19:03Jack?
01:19:07Jack?
01:19:09Danny?
01:19:12Ryan?
01:19:24Danny, what are you doing in here?
01:19:26I'm coming with you.
01:19:28Listen, I told you to stay back here.
01:19:30I'm coming with you to look for Mom.
01:19:32Families stick together, right?
01:19:34Right?
01:19:36I'm coming with you to look for Mom.
01:19:41Okay, all right.
01:19:54I'll be over there.
01:19:59They were here.
01:20:01They went looking for us.
01:20:03At least they're alive.
01:20:05Come on, boys.
01:20:07Let's go find your mom.
01:20:24They're not down there.
01:20:36There's someone coming.
01:20:43It's Jack.
01:20:45Danny!
01:20:48Mom!
01:20:50You're alive.
01:20:52Danny!
01:20:54Oh, my babies.
01:20:56Where have you been?
01:20:58My babies.
01:21:08My babies.
01:21:13Mister, I want to thank you.
01:21:18Who are you?
01:21:20My name's Anderson.
01:21:22I'm with the weather analysis.
01:21:32If there's no base around here, we can really take cover.
01:21:35I hate to say it, but we'd best get in the cars and make a run for it.
01:21:50Come on.
01:21:52Come on.
01:22:17Come on, Bob. Get that truck going.
01:22:22Come on.
01:22:28Who's that in that car?
01:22:30I think it's the steppans.
01:22:35Come on.
01:22:41Steppans in the bus. Let's go.
01:22:43Come on. Calm down.
01:22:45It's all right. Calm down.
01:22:49You sucker. Come on.
01:22:52Come on.
01:22:58Dad!
01:23:02Jack!
01:23:10Dad, get up.
01:23:12Come on. Grab the wheel.
01:23:14Get out.
01:23:19Oh, no.
01:23:21Move your foot.
01:23:25Jack!
01:23:29Dad, wait. Come on, Dad. Wake up.
01:23:35Come on, Dad. Get up. Get up, Dad.
01:23:48It's right behind us.
01:23:51Come on.
01:24:01Come on.
01:24:03Got to get to the underpass, son.
01:24:05Okay.
01:24:07Here we go.
01:24:11Dad!
01:24:21Dad! Hang on!
01:24:25Hang on, son!
01:24:27Dad!
01:24:29Hang on, Dad!
01:24:31Dad!
01:24:33Dad!
01:24:35Dad!
01:24:37Hang on, Dad!
01:24:39Dad!
01:24:41I got you, son!
01:24:47I'm falling!
01:24:49I'm falling!
01:24:54It stopped.
01:24:56It stopped.
01:25:01It stopped.
01:25:09Are you all right?
01:25:11Yeah.
01:25:13You're okay. It's over.
01:25:19Okay.
01:25:25We made it.
01:25:36I'm fine.
01:25:42Shh. It's okay.
01:25:45Daddy?
01:25:47You're all right.
01:25:49How about you? You okay?
01:25:55Danny?
01:25:57Yeah?
01:26:02I'm proud of you, son.
01:26:06You hung in there. You didn't quit.
01:26:12I'm real proud of you.
01:26:14Thanks.
01:26:16Thanks, Dad.
01:26:39It's okay.
01:26:41Hey, shh. It's over.
01:26:44Shh.
01:26:47Let's get out of here, huh?
01:26:49Yeah.
01:26:56By the storm's end,
01:26:58some three hours after the first twister hit,
01:27:01half the town had been ravaged
01:27:03by anywhere from 10 to 15 tornadoes,
01:27:06leaving five dead,
01:27:08dozens injured and 1,200 homeless.
01:27:12But starting the next day,
01:27:14the citizens of Blainsworth
01:27:16dusted themselves off
01:27:18and began the process of rebuilding.
01:27:34The twisters took Dad's store,
01:27:36but it didn't take long for him to get back on his feet.
01:27:39He joined the high school football team,
01:27:41and they won their first championship
01:27:43the very next year.
01:27:45He's even taken up a few new hobbies,
01:27:47but he's not quite as good at them.
01:27:50Mom's saving up to take him to France
01:27:52without the guitar.
01:27:55Ryan's a little heavier now,
01:27:57and he threw his first football last week.
01:28:00Hey, I even caught it.
01:28:03Arthur was elected to the student council
01:28:05on a platform of better food in the school cafeteria.
01:28:08He's still waiting for his first date.
01:28:13I don't spend quite as much time as I used to with him,
01:28:16because Stacy and I, well, you know.
01:28:22Bob's got new storms to figure out,
01:28:25like the twins that are due next year.
01:28:27He and Jenny have settled down here in Blainsworth,
01:28:30and, well, she's never been happier.
01:28:33When spring came, Grandma Belle Zephyr arrived,
01:28:37took us all by surprise,
01:28:39and we miss her.
01:28:41We miss her a lot.
01:28:44That night changed everybody's lives,
01:28:47and I think about it quite a bit.
01:28:49I mean, a tornado can hit the ground for only 30 seconds,
01:28:52rip up your house,
01:28:54and leave the neighbor's place completely untouched.
01:28:57I just try to live so I wouldn't have any regrets.
01:29:01I just try to live so I wouldn't have any regrets if another one hit,
01:29:05because you just never know.
01:29:08And I guess that's the best way for it to be.
