02:14This is Cessna, November 559,
02:16at 1-0-8, flying 10,000 feet, mechanical instruments only, heading is half, my compass is acting
02:25sort of strange, relying partially on dead reckoning, but I'm a little rusty, the best
02:30I can tell heading is east-southeast, this is Cessna, November 559, at 1-0-8, once again,
02:36if anyone's out there, come in please.
03:06Oh, I'm flying through some kind of tail storm.
03:20If anyone is receiving this, my name is Xavier Collins.
03:23I'm flying to Atlanta to find my wife, Dr. Terry Rogers Collins, who sent a radio transmission
03:29from somewhere near the city center.
03:33Terry, if you didn't miss, the kids are safe.
03:36They're in a Colorado Bunker community near 39 degrees north, 105 degrees west.
03:43Terry, Leslie, James, I love you.
03:50Mayday, mayday, mayday.
03:53Terry, Terry, Terry, Terry.
04:07Oh, my God.
04:32Oh, my God.
05:06Oh, my God.
05:25The training officer said you were on pace to break the academy's course record.
05:30Sorry, it sucks.
05:31It was his record.
05:32It sucks for him because I'm still going to beat it.
05:35Possible ligament damage.
05:36We'll confirm that with an MRI.
05:38That's going to require surgery.
05:40Then there's your kneecap.
05:41You've suffered a patellar dislocation.
05:44Can I see it?
05:45You don't need that picture.
05:46Yeah.
06:11I'm going to perform the reduction, I'm going to need to cradle your lower leg.
06:15Flex your hip, then extend your leg.
06:17I'm going to apply force to the lateral edge.
06:19Push the kneecap back in place.
06:22All I know is backhand.
06:24I'll hear a clunk.
06:26So I'm listening for a clunk?
06:27You won't be listening to anything.
06:30We're going to sedate you for the same year.
06:32It's not something you want to feel.
06:33Trust me.
06:45Relax your clunk.
06:46Listen for the clunk.
06:55I'll see you next week.
06:57See you next time.
07:25That's my bird.
07:30You know what I said, son?
07:32These are my things.
07:33My books, my maps.
07:35Half my life is in the egg.
07:48Give it back.
07:49Hey, give it...
08:03Boy, then.
08:10Hey, hey!
08:12Hey!
08:14Hey!
08:16Hey!
08:22Hey!
08:25Hey!
08:30Hey!
08:37Hey!
08:44Hey!
08:45Hey!
08:46Hey!
08:47Hey!
08:47Hey!
08:48Hey!
08:49Hey!
08:50Hey!
08:50Hey!
08:51Hey!
08:54Hey!
10:34I need to deal with my meat.
10:49I need to deal with my meat.
11:05I didn't expect you to be so damn needy.
11:07My mother always said I wasn't a good patient because I have no patience.
11:11I know.
11:11I know.
11:12As for my cherry jelly hatred, it comes from when I was a kid.
11:15I had the flu and my mother gave me cherry flavor and my stomach was really raw.
11:18I'll get you a different flavor.
11:19I'll get you a whole bunch.
11:20Thank you very much.
11:21On a scale of one to ten, what's your pain level right now?
11:24Maybe a five?
11:26Say, is that way until tonight?
11:27Maybe you'll be discharged.
11:29Thank God for us all.
11:30Uh-huh.
11:31I don't know what other flavors you have, but if you happen to have green or yellow, I'd probably rank
11:37them green, yellow, orange, shit.
11:40It's lying.
12:00You don't want it?
12:02What I want is to have my surgery and get the hell out of here.
12:06Yeah.
12:07Yeah, I already had mine.
12:10Some meniscal reconstruction.
12:11Yes, I've heard.
12:13We've all heard.
12:15I'm Xavier.
12:17It's nice to meet you.
12:22Terry.
12:25What an absolute pleasure.
12:36I'm all set, nurse.
12:37My roomie gave me hers.
12:39I'll take it.
12:42You know, now that I think about it, I think, um, the pain in my knee is closer to an
12:48eight.
12:50So maybe I should stay a little bit longer.
12:54You don't have a chance.
12:56We'll see.
13:08That's my bag.
13:11We can share the food, but I need my stuff.
13:15Please, I need my things.
13:18Please.
13:23Hey, kids, I need water, and I need to deal with my knee.
13:59Who are those men with the torches?
14:06I need to get back to my plane.
14:16I need to pop my knee back into place.
14:21And I don't want to scare you guys, but it's going to hurt.
14:23I'm probably going to scream and pass out from the pain.
14:27Can you grab me that cord from the back?
14:30Cord, please.
14:32Please.
14:33Please.
14:33Please.
14:35Please.
14:37Please.
14:37Please.
14:42Please.
14:43Please.
14:46Please.
14:55Please.
15:06I don't know.
15:35I don't know.
15:59You do realize that curtain is there for a reason.
16:02I, uh, just got back from a walk.
16:06The doctor wants me to start moving and putting weight on my knee.
16:10Ambulation.
16:10It's his word.
16:12Good for you.
16:14They're having a birthday party at the nurse's station.
16:18And they have cake.
16:19Fun.
16:21I could get you a piece.
16:23More ambulation.
16:25No, I think I'm good.
16:27No, if you'll excuse me.
16:28What are the cards for?
16:29I'm studying.
16:31What are you studying?
16:33I am pursuing a doctorate in cell molecular and organismal biology.
16:39And I don't need a study partner.
16:41That's probably for the best.
16:44Okay, I think I'm going to close the card.
16:46Who?
16:46Oh, God.
16:47I got it.
16:50You were probably not supposed to bend down.
16:52No, it's ambulation, remember?
16:54Let's call the nurse.
16:55What's this?
16:58Amanita phalloids?
17:01Amanita phalloides.
17:02I'm going to need your number in a second, you know what I'm saying?
17:07You'd like it.
17:08It's a type of mushroom.
17:11An invasive species of mushroom.
17:21Oh, you don't have to do it.
17:22I'm fine.
17:23I'm...
17:24Okay.
17:39What are you in here for?
17:42Congenital scoliosis.
17:45Back pain has been my constant companion my entire life, but doctor says it's going to
17:50be a thing of the past as of tomorrow, so...
17:54Nervous?
17:55Uh, yeah.
17:57A little.
17:59Well, I'm sure you're in good hands.
18:02Thanks.
18:06Hey, maybe when we're both back on our feet, so to speak, we can, um, grab a coffee or
18:11something.
18:14Like a date?
18:15Yeah.
18:18And then we go on another date?
18:21Another?
18:22And then what?
18:24Marriage?
18:25Kids?
18:26We spend the next 50 years telling everybody our meet-cute story, how we shared a surgical
18:31room in a hospital?
18:32It would be a cute story.
18:35Okay, but here's the problem with that.
18:39After I finish my PhD, I'm headed to Brazil for a WHO-sponsored research position.
18:45From there, it's back to the States and the UN, before I make my run at my dream job, which
18:50I have had my eye on for years, at NIH.
18:53That's a lot of acronyms.
18:54Marriage is not in the foreseeable future for me, and as unpopular as it is for some women
19:01to admit, I'm not even sure I want to have kids.
19:07So what you're saying is?
19:10That I'm not gonna let my life plan get derailed by the hot guy in the hospital bed who put
19:14a
19:15blanket on my feet, so thank you.
19:18But if you could just maybe go away now, please.
19:34Hot guy.
19:38I'm gonna get you some cake.
19:39I'll be right back.
19:41I'll be right back.
19:47I'm sorry.
19:57Come here.
20:14How long have I been out?
20:19Five minutes?
20:21Five hours.
20:28Can I have some more water?
20:35Thanks.
20:45Xavier.
20:47My name is Xavier.
20:50We understand English.
20:52All right.
20:53Of course you do.
20:54What's your name?
20:56I'm Daniel.
20:57It's nice to meet you, Daniel.
20:59These are my friends.
21:01And that's my little sister.
21:06They don't talk much.
21:09Now I have my bag back.
21:11It's got my books and pictures in it.
21:14They're important to me.
21:15I need the things in my bag.
21:16Without the things in my bag, I won't be able to get to where I'm going.
21:41Look.
21:43There's a map of the southeast.
21:45I was flying to Atlanta, Georgia.
21:49There's a radio tower at these coordinates that I'm trying to get to.
21:52And when my plane went down, I think I was pretty close to the city.
21:55Do you guys, do you know where we are?
22:07Arkansas?
22:09You sure?
22:12Do you see?
22:19there. Can I see? I'm their dad. That's my daughter, Presley, and my son, James.
22:36She wants to know if they're dead. No. They're very much alive. Lost? No, they're back where I
22:48came from. I left them there. Safe? Yes. How did you guys get here? We were on the same travel
23:01team together. Except for my little sister. Went to a tournament on a bus. That was the
23:12day it happened. And what about your coaches and your families? They're all gone now.
23:39Hey, um, this was my son's favorite. I could read it to you. Would you like that?
24:03He wants to know if you can have your jacket when you're dead.
24:13Okay. Maybe no luck.
24:20You said everything went well. You said it was successful. It did go well. This complication
24:24is called periophilic visual loss. It's extremely rare. It could take hours or as much as a
24:31few days for your eyesight to return. But it will come back, right? You're young. You're
24:36healthy. Let's just take it one step at a time, okay? I'm going to see you in the morning.
24:41Try and get some rest. You want to talk? Please just leave me alone.
25:24You know, when I find my wife, I'm going to bring her back to Colorado to our kids.
25:30You kids can come back with us. It's a safe place. I promise you.
25:36It's normal there?
25:41I don't know what normal is anymore, Daniel. But you'll be welcome.
25:46I have to ask my friends. We like it here.
25:52Seems kind of hard. Finding food and water. Staying warm.
25:57We have other places we go.
26:05Hey, Daniel. Why does he open and close his eyes all the time?
26:23He says, when he closes his eyes, he can see his parents' faces. He does it so he won't
26:31because I forgot what they look like.
26:43Do you know what it's about? It's the story of a little boy named James.
26:52And even after he loses his parents and his family's name to him, he still finds a way to make
27:00friends.
27:01Find people to care about. And he doesn't give up.
27:18Until he was four years old.
27:21There he is.
27:22There he is.
27:31You are the one who was a little boy named James.
27:32That's the one who were local.
27:37And he came out.
27:40He had to go.
27:40He managed his parents to fight.
27:40He managed to fight like me.
27:41When he says he was a daughter.
27:41I have to go.
27:41He had to go.
27:42He can't go.
27:45So, he said, you got to be a place like a horse.
27:45How are you going?
27:49I know this man is a place called to eat?
