00:05:35Oh, wait wait wait. Did you eat something?
00:05:41I'm not hungry.
00:05:43Hey, Bear. I know you're excited about the sleepover, but you know you need to eat before you go.
00:05:49I had carrot sticks when we got home.
00:05:51Hmm, really? Because I'm pretty sure we're out of carrot sticks.
00:05:58Mom.
00:06:05All right, fine. Give your dad a hug before you go.
00:06:13Hey, have fun. And nothing with gluten in it.
00:06:16Bye, Mom.
00:06:17Bye. Love you.
00:06:22She's like a teenager.
00:06:28All right.
00:06:33Looks like dinner will be ready in about 15 more minutes.
00:06:39So are you gonna tell me why you were acting so strange today?
00:06:43Strange?
00:06:44Yeah, in the truck with Lee. You looked like you had seen a ghost.
00:06:56I think I'm gonna go to bed early.
00:06:59Bed? Right now?
00:07:02But you didn't eat.
00:07:03I'm not really hungry.
00:07:04All right, then.
00:07:11Can I check it out?
00:07:33I guess I'm telling you what long have been
00:09:19What?
00:09:20Wee, I need you to pick her up on your way into group.
00:09:26Are you feeling all right?
00:09:28You look a little sick.
00:09:31I'm fine.
00:09:33Did you sleep all right?
00:09:36Not really.
00:09:38Bad dream, I think.
00:09:42Okay, well, are you up for it?
00:09:46Do you need me to call Pastor Bill again?
00:09:49Jesus, Rita, I said I had a bad dream.
00:09:51Language.
00:09:52Sorry.
00:09:54It's not a big deal, all right?
00:09:57Okay, well, just you didn't eat dinner last night either.
00:10:00I'll make something.
00:10:03Now go home and get out of here.
00:10:04I'll be fine.
00:10:12You know, if there's something going on, if there's something wrong, you know you can talk to me, right?
00:10:20I know that.
00:10:24Okay.
00:10:26Okay.
00:10:27I'll see you later, then.
00:10:35Okay.
00:10:36Who would like to start?
00:10:37Who wants to share?
00:10:43I'll go first.
00:10:51Yeah, you know, for me, it's different.
00:10:57For me, it's like an endless will that turns in my head, you know?
00:11:02I tried my best to be a good father.
00:11:06I did everything with him, you know?
00:11:08I took him fishing.
00:11:11We went horseback riding one time.
00:11:12He almost fell off the horse.
00:11:14It was...
00:11:17I tried to picture his face, you know?
00:11:20And the only way I could see his face is by remembering some of the good times that we had
00:11:26together.
00:11:28There was one time that I hit him, and I don't know if that was the right move.
00:11:37And then one day, you know, I'm here being a good father.
00:11:43I think I'm doing everything right.
00:11:46And just like that, he's gone.
00:11:49I mean, you tell me, you know?
00:11:53I'm sorry, I'm trying my best to cope with it.
00:11:56I just...
00:11:57But that's why I come to meetings like this.
00:12:00I come here to try to find the best version of my dead son.
00:12:08I mean, you just get tired of looking.
00:12:13Who wants to live that way?
00:12:18Yeah.
00:12:20Sometimes I just want to close my eyes, you know?
00:12:22Never wake up and join him where he's at.
00:12:30I know it's hard to believe, but sometimes just the right Bible verse can lift your spirits,
00:12:39can give you comfort, even in the darkest of times.
00:12:45For example, in the book of Matthew, it tells us,
00:12:50Let the little children come to me and do not hinder them,
00:12:54for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.
00:13:00So my hope is that this knowledge that your children have indeed entered into the kingdom of heaven
00:13:09can be a comfort to those who have lost a child here on earth.
00:13:18Yeah, but he didn't know what that felt like.
00:13:23Excuse me?
00:13:24Matthew.
00:13:26He never had to bury a child.
00:13:28Sam did.
00:13:30I did.
00:13:32I dare anybody here to tell me how I'm supposed to take comfort in that.
00:13:39Thomas, the Bible clearly states that children are inherently worthy of entering the kingdom of heaven.
00:13:46You don't find any comfort in that?
00:13:48No, I don't.
00:13:50I would trade a million of your feel-good Bible verses every day for the rest of my life
00:13:55if I could have my son back for one day.
00:13:58Just one.
00:14:01Nobody here is going to convince me otherwise.
00:14:13You want a donut or a cookie?
00:14:18Thank you, Pastor.
00:14:20Well, would you look at you all grown up.
00:14:23Your mama tells me you just landed a big role in the ballet formal.
00:14:27Daisy number one.
00:14:29Daisy number one.
00:14:30That's great.
00:14:32Like a lily among thorns is my darling among young women.
00:14:36You go ahead.
00:14:37You take that.
00:14:37That's good.
00:14:38Okay.
00:14:39I am sorry about that in there.
00:14:42Oh, don't worry about it.
00:14:44I mean, even Jesus got mad once.
00:14:48I don't know what got into me.
00:14:49I think I do.
00:14:52I talked to Rita.
00:14:54She's expressed some concern about you.
00:14:56Is she?
00:14:57Yeah.
00:14:58She did.
00:14:59Listen, it's okay to be impatient.
00:15:00But it's also important to remember that other folks need their time, too.
00:15:07It won't happen again.
00:15:09All right.
00:15:11Can you just say goodbye?
00:15:13It's time to go, sweetheart.
00:15:14Come on.
00:15:14Goodbye, sweetie.
00:15:16Bye.
00:15:19What's your code?
00:15:32What's your code?
00:15:47I think it's your heat cartridge.
00:15:51I'll pick you one up at Ronnie's.
00:15:59Do you remember the night the storm come through and you and me and mom had to ride it out
00:16:03in the basement?
00:16:06Year seven.
00:16:09Terrified, to say the least.
00:16:12I remember the rain came down sideways.
00:16:15Hoppers had all flooded and there was water just pouring down the walls.
00:16:20I remember the sound of the wind.
00:16:23Scared me straight.
00:16:25Made me believe in God.
00:16:27Mysterious ways.
00:16:29The way I saw it.
00:16:31If we were going to make it through that night, it was going to have to be God to do
00:16:35it.
00:16:36But it wasn't him.
00:16:38It wasn't God that boarded up the windows.
00:16:40It was you.
00:16:41You built a raft.
00:16:43You kept our heads above water.
00:16:47Where was God that night?
00:16:55I'm seeing things, Pop.
00:16:58At least I think I am.
00:17:00I don't know.
00:17:00I didn't raise you to be a nut.
00:17:03I'm just saying it reminded me of that storm is all.
00:17:07Does she know?
00:17:09Rita?
00:17:10No.
00:17:11The last thing I need is her worrying about me.
00:17:16She knows.
00:17:35She's asleep.
00:17:40How was group?
00:17:42Fine.
00:17:43Your dad?
00:17:45Same as always.
00:17:48Did you tell Pastor Bill there was something wrong with us?
00:17:55No.
00:17:57Not in those words.
00:18:00You know, I really wish you wouldn't share our business with everybody.
00:18:05I could tell there was something on my mind.
00:18:07What was I supposed to do?
00:18:09Lie to him?
00:18:12Well.
00:18:21Rita, I saw something the other day.
00:18:28Okay.
00:18:30In the truck when you and Lee were inside.
00:18:36It was a tornado.
00:18:44Really?
00:18:46Where was it?
00:18:48No.
00:18:48No, no.
00:18:48It wasn't really there.
00:18:50No.
00:18:51It's like it was here.
00:18:52It was in my mind.
00:18:52And then I saw another one last night in the backyard.
00:19:01You're serious.
00:19:08So you had a vision.
00:19:10Nightmare.
00:19:12You were awake when you went outside last night, right?
00:19:17That's true.
00:19:21It was a vision.
00:19:25Baby, this is a good thing.
00:19:29How?
00:19:30How is this a good thing?
00:19:34Because visions are sent to you by God.
00:19:37Oh, and what is this one supposed to mean?
00:19:39That he already took one member of my family and now he's coming back for the rest of us?
00:19:51God didn't take Thomas Jr. from us.
00:19:54You know this.
00:19:55No?
00:19:56Well, have you seen him around lately?
00:19:58Because I haven't.
00:19:59And believe me, I look.
00:20:02Every day.
00:20:08I lost my appetite.
00:20:18The Bible clearly instructs us to be vigilant.
00:20:34Now, Peter, Peter sees it this way.
00:20:38He says that the end-time Christians, we know the end-time Christians, are called to do one thing, and
00:20:44one thing very, very well.
00:20:46They are to practice holiness whenever and wherever they are.
00:20:57Now, Galatians 10, it reads this.
00:21:02Therefore, as we have opportunity, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all, especially, very important word, especially
00:21:14to those who are of the household of faith.
00:21:21Are you of the household of faith?
00:21:24Do you do good to all those, especially to those who are of the household of faith?
00:21:31Now, I want you to grab your hymnals.
00:21:32I want you to stand up, and we are going to sing a little praise, all right?
00:21:37Doing a little praise.
00:21:38There is peace in the time of trouble.
00:21:45Wait.
00:21:46Why are we leaving early?
00:21:48Leanne, baby, come on.
00:21:49Can you go get in the truck for Dad?
00:21:54You saw it again, didn't you?
00:22:00I don't want to talk about it.
00:22:01Well, you kind of have to now, after all this.
00:22:08Not here.
00:22:10Okay?
00:22:11Please.
00:22:13Just...
00:22:14Just get in the truck.
00:22:40Well, you got a couple options.
00:22:43You got a 10 by 10, 10 by 15, and a 20 by 20, which comes to plumbing.
00:22:52How much is that one, the 10 by 10?
00:22:55Well, with materials and labor, you're looking at $15,000.
00:22:58Dollars?
00:22:58$15,000 for a storm shelter?
00:23:01Yeah, the box ships from China.
00:23:03We got to dig the hole.
00:23:05Nothing cheap nowadays.
00:23:08You think I'd build it myself?
00:23:11I wouldn't recommend it.
00:23:13Can't just pull out a shovel and start digging, unless you know for sure there's no plumbing,
00:23:17electrical, piping, or gas lines buried in the yard.
00:23:20You'll need to hire someone to analyze the property.
00:23:23You'll also need to determine the chances of flooding.
00:23:25I could hire you to do that.
00:23:29Look, I'm going to be frank with you.
00:23:31You can't do an underground shelter on a budget.
00:23:33I mean, a 7 by 7 only gets you a few hours of oxygen, and you need 14-gauge steel
00:23:38sheets
00:23:38on the walls.
00:23:41If you can't afford it, I just recommend you and your family hunker down in the hallway bath
00:23:45with a mattress or two.
00:23:51Number's at the top.
00:23:55Call me if you change your mind.
00:23:57Thanks.
00:23:58Thanks.
00:24:01Thanks.
00:24:02Thanks.
00:24:15What was that all about?
00:24:20Thinking about building the storm shelter.
00:24:25Not for $15,000 or not.
00:24:28I know.
00:24:28It's a lot.
00:24:30I think we do it ourselves.
00:24:34But I thought we were going to finish out the garage.
00:24:36Garage can wait.
00:24:37This is important.
00:24:44You know, I think I've been more than patient up until now.
00:24:49It's about time you start telling me what's going on with you.
00:24:57I think a tornado is coming to take us.
00:25:00Take us where?
00:25:03I can't explain it.
00:25:06I'll try.
00:25:12Ever since we lost Junior, and we only had him for three years, but it feels like we
00:25:16have missed him our entire lives.
00:25:21And all I'm left with now is just anger and emptiness.
00:25:30Donnie.
00:25:33You have a beautiful daughter who loves you.
00:25:36And a wife who's stood by your side, always.
00:25:41I know.
00:25:41And I'm afraid that tornado's going to come and take all that away.
00:25:47And you think God has something to do with this?
00:25:50Yeah.
00:25:51Like he's...
00:25:53He's trying to punish you?
00:25:56For what?
00:26:01For daring him to finally do it.
00:26:24For daring him to finally do it.
00:26:27I'm going to be a little bit of a conversation, but nobody returned my phone calls.
00:26:29That's all right.
00:26:31Retirement can be lonely.
00:26:33I enjoy the company.
00:26:35Have a seat.
00:26:38What can I do for you?
00:26:39Your message said you had questions about tornadoes.
00:26:43I want to know how they work.
00:26:48Well, it's really pretty simple.
00:26:51You see, inside a thundercloud, there's warm, humid air that rises.
00:26:55But there's also cool air, which along with rain or hail, falls.
00:27:00These conditions cause the air currents to start spinning inside the cloud.
00:27:07Now, sometimes the spinning currents start out horizontal.
00:27:13Sometimes they spin vertical.
00:27:16But either way, they drop from that cloud.
00:27:21Got yourself a tornado.
00:27:26Is there any way to predict when they'll happen?
00:27:30Wow.
00:27:33Not really.
00:27:36I mean, we can identify the conditions that are likely to lead to severe weather.
00:27:42Issue warnings and things like that.
00:27:44But predicting when one of those suckers is going to touch down.
00:27:48That's just not a reality.
00:27:52If you don't mind me asking, why the sudden interest?
00:27:58No reason.
00:27:59Curiosity.
00:28:00Actually, my daughter's got a school project.
00:28:03So this is me doing research.
00:28:05Which is it?
00:28:07Curiosity.
00:28:09A school project.
00:28:14You know what they call tornadoes?
00:28:17The hand of God.
00:28:20Bad one just recently up in Grand.
00:28:23That was a bad one.
00:28:24You ought to take a trip up that way sometime and see the kind of violence those twisters are capable
00:28:29of.
00:28:31You ought to take a trip up that way.
00:28:41You ought to take a trip up that way.
00:28:42You ought to take a trip up that way.
00:28:44You ought to take a trip up that way.
00:28:46You ought to take a trip up that way.
00:28:48You ought to take a trip up that way.
00:28:49You ought to take a trip up that way.
00:28:49You ought to take a trip up that way.
00:28:50You ought to take a trip up that way.
00:28:51You ought to take a trip up that way.
00:28:51You ought to take a trip up that way.
00:28:52You ought to take a trip up that way.
00:28:53You ought to take a trip up that way.
00:28:56You ought to take a trip up that way.
00:30:01Have you discussed your feelings with him?
00:30:05Yeah, I've tried. He just shuts me out.
00:30:11You know, just the other day, he...
00:30:15He told me that he's been having...
00:30:19...visions...
00:30:21...about a tornado that's coming to take our family.
00:30:25Go on.
00:30:35I don't know. It's like...
00:30:41...ever since the funeral, he's like a different person.
00:30:46Oh, he used to be so...
00:30:49...so funny, and...
00:30:51...he was so full of life.
00:30:54And now he's just angry all the time, and quiet, just keeps to himself.
00:31:04Your family's been through a whole lot.
00:31:08Right?
00:31:09Yeah, I know.
00:31:11And I mean...
00:31:14...to be honest, I don't know how much more I can give up.
00:31:18I get it.
00:31:19Okay?
00:31:20And I'm more than happy to talk to him.
00:31:22But you need to understand that grief...
00:31:26...it always causes, you know, strain...
00:31:31...between couples.
00:31:32But the important thing for you to remember is that it's going to pass.
00:31:36Okay?
00:31:37It will pass.
00:31:38Think of it like a, um...
00:31:40...you break your leg.
00:31:41Okay?
00:31:42You break your leg.
00:31:42It doesn't heal...
00:31:44...properly.
00:31:45Okay?
00:31:45So it hurts.
00:31:46It hurts when the weather gets cold.
00:31:47Ah!
00:31:50So what do you do?
00:31:52You learn to walk with a limp.
00:31:55Hm.
00:31:57Yeah.
00:31:58Yeah, I like that.
00:32:00Learn to walk with a limp.
00:32:03Oh, my God.
00:32:09You're welcome.
00:32:12You must think I sound like a crazy person.
00:32:15No, I don't.
00:32:16I don't think you're a crazy person.
00:32:18Listen, in the Bible, God uses visions all the time to get people's attention.
00:32:22But what we have to remember is the Bible's finished.
00:32:26Everything we already need to know is already in it.
00:32:30Hm.
00:32:31So you think he's making it up?
00:32:35No.
00:32:35No.
00:32:36I...
00:32:36I don't think he's making it up.
00:32:38But what I think is that God would never give someone a vision and not tell them what it actually
00:32:43means.
00:32:47Yeah, but...
00:32:48I mean, tornadoes?
00:32:50What does that mean?
00:32:52Think about, um, weather.
00:32:56They're kind of like our emotions.
00:32:58The emotions of the soul.
00:32:59So, uh, rain is tears and sorrow.
00:33:04Thunder is, uh, fear.
00:33:08Tornadoes, they're grief, they're anxiety, all spinning out of control.
00:33:15Get it?
00:33:16That's interesting.
00:33:19I mean, I can see that with him.
00:33:23Good.
00:33:25Think about it that way.
00:33:26It's not all that scary, right?
00:33:29God doesn't want you to be scared.
00:33:34God wants you to be comforted.
00:33:41Get some coffee.
00:33:42You want some coffee?
00:33:42Sure.
00:33:43Nothing is more comforting than coffee.
00:33:46Thank you so much, Pastor.
00:33:48Absolutely.
00:33:48I'll be right back.
00:33:49Yeah.
00:33:54Okay.
00:33:58Believe me.
00:34:00Believe me.
00:34:07Hey, mister!
00:34:15We're taking donations for the school.
00:34:17What happened at your school?
00:34:19Same thing that happened here.
00:34:22That's something.
00:34:30Thanks, mister.
00:34:31You're welcome.
00:34:33Thanks.
00:34:36God bless you, man.
00:34:38No problem.
00:34:40So you guys got hit pretty good?
00:34:42Yeah.
00:34:43We all got hit pretty bad, but by the grace of God, we're all still together.
00:34:47Yeah.
00:34:48It's devastating.
00:34:50Yeah.
00:34:51I'm sorry.
00:34:54I'll tell you what, man.
00:34:57It's worth a couple thousand dollars.
00:34:59Nah, I can't accept that.
00:35:01Come on, please take it.
00:35:02I would want somebody to do it for me.
00:35:08Appreciate you, man.
00:35:13Thanks.
00:35:14Come on.
00:35:17Come on.
00:35:19Come on.
00:35:40Come on.
00:36:26Is everything all right?
00:36:27Did you hear that?
00:36:29Hear what?
00:36:30A minute ago. Did you not hear the siren?
00:36:33No, I didn't hear it.
00:36:36You didn't see the cloud? Did you feel the wind?
00:36:39You felt it. You didn't hear the siren?
00:36:41No, sir. I'm sorry.
00:36:46He's coming back, you know.
00:36:50Who?
00:36:51Our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
00:36:53I'm sorry.
00:36:54You're the best.
00:37:07Oh, my God.
00:37:25Oh, my God.
00:37:25Oh, my God.
00:37:27Oh, my God.
00:37:30Oh, my God.
00:37:30Oh, my God.
00:37:33Oh, my God.
00:37:36Jeez.
00:37:40Wow.
00:37:40Wow.
00:37:52So, where'd you go today?
00:37:55Library.
00:37:58Pick up some books.
00:38:02I saw them in the truck on my way in.
00:38:05Just some research.
00:38:08What?
00:38:08What?
00:38:12Tornadoes?
00:38:24You saw it again, didn't you?
00:38:26No.
00:38:29No.
00:38:31No.
00:38:41Thomas.
00:38:42Thomas.
00:38:45You still think that God is coming for us?
00:38:50You think he would do that to us and to Lee?
00:38:55He can do whatever he wants.
00:38:57He can do whatever he wants.
00:38:58He's God, right?
00:39:00Who are you?
00:39:03Because this version of Thomas...
00:39:10He's not good.
00:39:13And to tell you the truth, I'm at the point where I don't want him under this roof anymore unless
00:39:18he's gonna really start telling me what is going on with him.
00:39:23I told you what I saw.
00:39:24What else do you want from me?
00:39:26I want you to start believing in things again.
00:39:29I want the husband that I married.
00:39:31The one who makes me feel safe.
00:39:33Safe?
00:39:38Thomas Jr.'s death is not something that I can get over.
00:39:42Now, I've told God more times than I can remember that it should have been me in that box instead
00:39:46of him.
00:39:46But still, every day I wake up right here in this reminder just drowning.
00:39:56How are you supposed to reason with someone like that?
00:40:10It's a test. God's testing me.
00:40:13This isn't a test, Thomas.
00:40:15Yes, it is.
00:40:16No, it's not.
00:40:18Yes, it is!
00:40:20What, do you want me to sit here, hands folded?
00:40:22Oh, thank you, God, thank you.
00:40:24For what?
00:40:25For what?
00:40:28I won't spend one more day on my knees for him.
00:40:31Not one.
00:40:48I couldn't save him.
00:40:52Even when his body gave out on him, I couldn't save him.
00:40:56He took our son from us.
00:40:59God, he took our boy from us and you couldn't care less!
00:41:01That is not fair and that's not true!
00:41:04We have another child, Thomas!
00:41:20I can't do this.
00:41:22Not like this.
00:41:25It's too hard.
00:41:28You're in luck.
00:41:29You won't have to.
00:41:29Because when that storm comes, we'll be wiped off this piece of dirt like we never existed.
00:41:33It's just it.
00:41:38Oh.
00:42:36I don't know.
00:42:59I love you.
00:43:02I love you.
00:43:10Here, this is footage of the last F5 tornado that came through here a few years back.
00:43:16Look at the size of that thing.
00:43:18It's a baby compared to what we saw in Joplin.
00:43:21I saw two supercells collide over Kansas one time.
00:43:25It's the only thing that saved the state from becoming a hole in the middle of the country.
00:43:31The two deadliest tornadoes of the century.
00:43:34The great Natchez tornado of 1840 and the St. Louis tornado of 1896.
00:43:40200 mile an hour winds.
00:43:42The aftermath?
00:43:44It led Americans to rely on theological reflection and soul searching.
00:44:05Last time I came by you told me it was impossible to predict when these things would happen.
00:44:09That's right.
00:44:10What about this group in Sweden?
00:44:13They invented that laser beam?
00:44:18I don't follow.
00:44:19There's a group of scientists in Sweden that have developed this kind of laser beam that sits on top of
00:44:23a satellite.
00:44:24And it can heat or cool the Earth's surface from up above the atmosphere.
00:44:27So if they can manipulate the temperature of the Earth's surface, then they can stop these things from ever developing,
00:44:32right?
00:44:35That's a long shot.
00:44:37To stop a tornado from developing, all you have to do is heat the downdraft.
00:44:41How?
00:44:41I mean, we're not talking about just nuking last night's leftovers in the microwave.
00:44:47The satellites will convert solar energy into microwaves and they shoot it back to Earth in a beam.
00:44:53I'm not sure I understand what you're saying here.
00:44:57You want to try to stop a tornado from forming?
00:45:01Yeah.
00:45:03You know, I also read that you can spread a thin layer of oil over the ocean.
00:45:07You know, if you heat or cool the ground in front of a storm, you can actually divert its path.
00:45:12Okay.
00:45:14Okay.
00:45:14And how do we do that again?
00:45:16From the satellites in Sweden!
00:45:18Sweden.
00:45:22I want to thank you for coming by and keeping an old man company.
00:45:27But I think I'm going to have to ask you to leave now.
00:45:30It's nothing personal.
00:45:31Sure it is.
00:45:32It's personal because if I'm right, then you look like a fool.
00:45:36But you aren't right, Thomas!
00:45:38Where are you?
00:45:52Ah!
00:45:57What are you doing?
00:47:30Daddy, no!
00:47:36Holy baby.
00:47:38Everything's alright.
00:47:39Daddy's just having a nightmare.
00:47:41Let's go back to bed.
00:47:54Is she all right?
00:47:56Wrists are a little sore.
00:47:59And Leanne?
00:48:01She won't even look at me.
00:48:05Yeah, well, she'll come around, Thomas.
00:48:09Give her time.
00:48:10What's happening to me, Bill?
00:48:19Thomas, we're a storytelling species.
00:48:24Our brains have this natural proclivity for grandiose narratives with overreaching center points and a very definitive ending.
00:48:35What we have to know is that we kind of require everything to make sense, to have a beginning, a
00:48:42middle, and an end.
00:48:44God gave us this brain that is not happy with randomness.
00:48:47So, yeah, it has to make sense, but that's, you know, not always easy.
00:48:55So, you're saying that these visions, these tornadoes, God sent them to me for a reason?
00:49:04Well, I, I, I don't know.
00:49:08Well, that's what you just said, isn't it?
00:49:10No.
00:49:12I'm talking about your son.
00:49:14Please don't talk about my son.
00:49:16In the book of John, Jesus wept.
00:49:20And if I go and prepare for you a place, I will come back for you and take you with
00:49:25me that you may be where I am.
00:49:26Yeah, I know.
00:49:27I know the verse.
00:49:29My problem with that, Bill, is that my son's already out there, and I'm not.
00:49:34I think it's fantastic that you can quote all that scripture, Thomas.
00:49:37I really do.
00:49:38But are you honestly telling me that you think you're not going to be back with your son, you're never
00:49:41going to see him again, unless this storm takes you there?
00:49:44Is that what you're saying?
00:49:46Sure feels like it.
00:49:48Well, then how come God doesn't just come right in and blow your house down right now, get it over
00:49:52with, hmm?
00:49:56The way I see it, Leanne will never know the difference, but Rita, she's got to know.
00:50:00Rita has to know what I know.
00:50:01And what do you know, Thomas?
00:50:03I know that God wants the three of us to be with Junior, and when that storm comes, that is
00:50:10what will be.
00:50:13Look, I'm from the Midwest, okay?
00:50:15And my mind, my sleeping mind would conjure up dreams of tornadoes and things to get my attention and to
00:50:20scare me.
00:50:22All the time.
00:50:24Now, I understand that it's also a natural phenomenon in other parts of the world for these things to happen.
00:50:29It's not that unusual, even in places where people don't live in fear of cyclone season.
00:50:35Inner turbulence.
00:50:37Yes.
00:50:38You think I'm bracing for impact for something that's probably never going to affect me?
00:50:42I think it's a distinct possibility.
00:50:45See, the problem is, though, with tornadoes, you never know when they're coming.
00:50:48You never know when they'll hit.
00:50:51You know, you can't stop them.
00:50:52You can't beg them to change their mind.
00:50:54They just come, and they take whatever they want, like a thief in the night.
00:51:00Sounds a lot like God to me, doesn't it?
00:51:11Sounds a lot like God to me, doesn't it?
00:51:55You want me to go inside with you?
00:51:57No.
00:51:58You sure?
00:51:59You don't have to.
00:52:01I know I don't have to.
00:52:02I want to.
00:52:06Hey, you know the other night with your mom, I didn't mean to do that.
00:52:11I would never hurt you or your mom.
00:52:13You know that, right?
00:52:14Yeah.
00:52:17Lee, hey, little bear, look at me.
00:52:21You know I would never hurt you, right?
00:52:48It's my favorite, you know.
00:52:48I love you.
00:52:52I'm going to be laughing.
00:52:53Just give her some time.
00:52:57She thinks I'm a monster.
00:53:01She's a kid.
00:53:02She's confused.
00:53:04Let me know if you need anything else.
00:53:11You know she didn't even want me to go in with her today.
00:53:15Really?
00:53:18Hmm.
00:53:21Has it happened again?
00:53:23Today, I mean.
00:53:29Feels like it's getting closer, though.
00:53:31What is?
00:53:32The storm.
00:53:34What made you say that?
00:53:38Visions are more intense.
00:53:40Like the other night.
00:53:43What did Pastor Bill have to say?
00:53:47Same thing as you, that I'm going crazy.
00:53:50Bill said that?
00:53:52More or less.
00:53:53I doubt that.
00:53:57And I never said you were going crazy, honey.
00:54:03You know, all this tornado talk made me remember something.
00:54:08When I was 17, I had a nightmare that a tornado was coming.
00:54:11So I hid in the basement of our home.
00:54:15And I told my dad about the dream.
00:54:17And he said that what it means is that there's something that happened in that home that I haven't fully
00:54:24processed yet.
00:54:29As you know, my mom died when I was 11.
00:54:54Oh, no.
00:54:55Whoa, calm down.
00:54:56Come on.
00:54:57Come on.
00:54:58Okay, easy.
00:54:59I will.
00:55:00That's right.
00:55:01Please don't hurt us.
00:55:02Oh, Lord.
00:55:03Whoa.
00:55:03Calm.
00:55:04Hey, you got what you wanted.
00:55:05Okay.
00:55:06Alright.
00:55:08Stop!
00:55:11Stop!
00:55:12Please!
00:55:13Stop!
00:55:26Oh!
00:55:28Oh!
00:55:28Oh!
00:55:29Oh, where's Lee?
00:55:31She's at the neighbor's.
00:55:32She's fine.
00:55:35How are we feeling?
00:55:37Like I got my ass kicked.
00:55:39Rita told me about what happened.
00:55:42I tell you, this area used to be so safe.
00:55:46Yeah, right?
00:55:47We're gonna fill out a report as soon as he's up for it.
00:55:51Good.
00:55:51Good.
00:55:53Well, it doesn't look like that punk gave you anything major to be concerned about.
00:55:57So, what's the problem?
00:56:04What do you mean, what's the problem?
00:56:07Well, the results of your scan came back.
00:56:09Your blood pressure's high.
00:56:11You're normally pretty healthy.
00:56:14How's your sleep?
00:56:16Are you having trouble at night?
00:56:18No.
00:56:21So, how long have you not been able to sleep?
00:56:26A couple of weeks.
00:56:29Well, Rita tells me you've cut back on the beer, but also on the daily exercise.
00:56:35Is there just something you can give me?
00:56:37Absolutely.
00:56:39But, um, when you can't sleep at night, are you having bad dreams?
00:56:44Sometimes.
00:56:45You still going to group?
00:56:47He goes a couple times a month.
00:56:50Does it help?
00:56:51Not really.
00:56:53The reason I ask is you might be showing some signs of post-traumatic stress disorder.
00:56:57You've heard of it?
00:56:58That's what soldiers get.
00:56:59Well, no, it's actually more common than that.
00:57:02It's not fun stuff, but you are showing some signs of it.
00:57:07For now, until I can run some more tests, I can certainly start you on a pretty mild sedative.
00:57:13It's non-habit-forming.
00:57:14You just take one an hour before bed and see if it helps.
00:57:18I'll get you a script.
00:57:20How's Lee?
00:57:22Oh, she's doing great.
00:57:24Yeah, that new diet you put her on has really helped with her allergies, so thank you.
00:57:29Good, good.
00:57:30I'm glad to hear that.
00:57:31Give her my love.
00:57:32I will.
00:57:34I'll get you a script.
00:57:35Just let me grab my bag.
00:57:40I'll see you out, doctor.
00:57:41Okay.
00:57:41Yeah, I'll be right back.
00:57:54Do you think he's going to be all right?
00:57:56I think he's fine.
00:57:57I've known him for 20 years.
00:58:00He's always been very strong, but I am a little concerned.
00:58:03I mean, I've never seen him in this condition before.
00:58:06This sort of hanged dog, depressed, and his sleeping patterns are a real concern.
00:58:14He's that way a lot.
00:58:15Yeah?
00:58:16There's something else going on.
00:58:23He's been having these visions.
00:58:27I don't know how else to explain it, but he's seen tornadoes.
00:58:36I know it sounds crazy, but...
00:58:39This sounds psychological, like he needs a different kind of doctor.
00:58:43It's not my expertise.
00:58:47But I know some good therapists.
00:58:49I can give you a referral.
00:58:52Oh, okay.
00:58:54Yeah.
00:58:54But yeah, I'll give you this reference and hopefully if he talks to someone professional in that regard,
00:59:00they will be able to help him out.
00:59:02All right.
00:59:03And I'm just going to phone in that prescription, all right?
00:59:06Okay.
00:59:07Yeah, sounds good.
00:59:08All right.
00:59:08Okay, thank you so much, doctor.
00:59:10You too, you too, Rita.
00:59:10Take care.
00:59:11Okay, thanks.
00:59:12Bye.
00:59:28I sent Lee to the neighbor's house.
00:59:31She can stay there tonight so you can get some rest.
00:59:42I'm okay.
00:59:45Thomas, you were mugged.
00:59:49It's okay for you to be vulnerable with me sometimes.
00:59:56I saw something else.
00:59:58What was it?
01:00:00Before I woke up, I saw another tornado.
01:00:04Only this time, it destroyed every house on the street except one.
01:00:10Whose house?
01:00:11It didn't look like ours.
01:00:13It didn't look like ours.
01:00:14But I think it was supposed to be.
01:00:16Are you sure?
01:00:19I haven't been sure about anything since this whole thing started.
01:00:24Maybe you should.
01:00:25Maybe you should just try taking the pills.
01:00:27Maybe it'll make it all go away.
01:00:30You never know.
01:00:31It could help.
01:00:32It could help.
01:00:33It could help.
01:00:52It could help.
01:02:28What's here?
01:02:28I told you the storm was coming and now we're not prepared.
01:02:31Ow, you hurt my arm.
01:02:33There's something here.
01:02:34Look outside.
01:02:36There's no tornado.
01:02:37There's no storm.
01:02:38It's completely quiet.
01:02:42For yourself.
01:02:55I heard the wind.
01:02:58Oh.
01:03:00You only thought you heard it.
01:03:02This is all in your mind.
01:03:08And...
01:03:29This is all in your mind.
01:03:33Treatment.
01:03:35I'm sorry?
01:03:37What does that mean exactly?
01:03:40Your husband appears to be suffering from delusions.
01:03:45In my expert clinical opinion, Thomas needs to be in treatment.
01:03:49You mean like therapy?
01:03:52That, and possibly checking into a long-term center.
01:03:57There are a few places I like nearby.
01:04:00This way your family can visit.
01:04:02Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
01:04:03Visit?
01:04:04You want Thomas to leave home?
01:04:07I want your husband to get better.
01:04:10Look.
01:04:12If I were talking to my own son here,
01:04:15my diagnosis and treatment plan would be exactly the same.
01:04:20I'll write your file.
01:04:23Your son's death is taking a toll on Thomas' psyche.
01:04:28If you don't deal with this,
01:04:30we can't stop the delusions.
01:04:33They two are directly related.
01:04:36But I already go to group.
01:04:39It's your local church, is that right?
01:04:41So?
01:04:43No offense, but...
01:04:45If that would be working, it would be working.
01:04:51The act of shedding light on someone's fears is often curative of them.
01:04:56For anyone who has trouble sleeping, have terrible dreams,
01:05:01it often helps to write them down in a journal.
01:05:05Or you can try and interpret them to make better sense.
01:05:10You can try and communicate these ideas with your friends and loved ones.
01:05:16You know, understanding is often times is most of the cure,
01:05:22but it all takes time and treatment.
01:05:26You can't.
01:05:28You can't.
01:05:51starved. What happened to your face? Why'd you stop going to church? Hey, I ask you a question.
01:06:11When mom died, why did you stop going to church?
01:06:17All those years yelling and screaming to get your way and now look at you.
01:06:21You know that's why he did it. God got tired of hearing you run your mouth.
01:06:27Eighteen years I lived with you and never a kind word. And now when I need you the most,
01:06:33you got nothing left to say. We can't go back. Only four.
01:06:43No, we can't go back.
01:06:49Trust he who forgives.
01:06:54I know I'm a broken man, but you don't have to carry this around like some disease.
01:07:05It's my cross, not yours.
01:07:09It's my cross.
01:07:38Yes, yes, yes.
01:07:43You all right?
01:07:46Yeah, fine.
01:07:49I'm gonna go inside and check on Lee.
01:07:52You hungry?
01:07:53Sure.
01:07:54I'll make us something to eat after I pay the sitter.
01:08:21I'm gonna go inside and check on Lee.
01:08:33I can't do that.
01:09:16Remember, 7 o'clock sharp, so no staying up late or sleeping in.
01:09:23I know.
01:09:25Okay. And no TV before bed. We know that keeps you awake and we need you to be rested.
01:09:33I know.
01:09:35This recital's a big deal, honey. We've been practicing for months.
01:09:41We don't want you to be tired on stage or show up late, okay?
01:09:53You're not eating?
01:10:10Leigh-Anne, baby, can you take your food and go eat in the bathroom?
01:10:13Thomas.
01:10:14Leigh-Anne, please do as I say.
01:10:27What do you think you're doing?
01:10:30I lost a son. I'm not going to lose Leigh.
01:10:33Thomas.
01:10:34I was wrong. That twister's not coming for us. It's coming for everybody else. We are meant to survive.
01:10:40How could you possibly know that?
01:10:43That's what I saw. One house withstood the storm. All the others were destroyed. That's how God was showing me
01:10:51the path.
01:10:58You said you didn't know if that was our house or not.
01:11:00I know what I saw. It just didn't make sense until now is all.
01:11:06You were right. You were crazy.
01:11:15I knew you'd be like this. I knew you wouldn't believe me. You said it yourself. It was a vision
01:11:21from God.
01:11:22What are you going to do to us, huh?
01:11:25Protect you. You'll see.
01:11:30You're ruining us. Don't you see that? You have a gun, Thomas. There's no coming back from that.
01:11:39Won't matter soon. There won't be anyone left. And then you'll see I was right.
01:11:47Thomas.
01:11:50Go get in the bathroom with Leigh.
01:11:54Don't do this.
01:11:55Go get in the bathroom with Leigh.
01:12:08You are...
01:12:10You're dead.
01:12:33Mommy, I'm scared.
01:12:36Oh, it's gonna be okay, sweetheart. I'm not gonna let anything happen to you, okay?
01:12:41Mommy, don't you worry, okay? All right, Mommy's gonna call for some help.
01:13:03Bill.
01:13:04Bill.
01:13:04Rita.
01:13:05Bill. I need your help. Thomas, he's a... he has a gun and he made us go into the bathroom.
01:13:12Hey, hey, slow down, slow down. Say that one more time.
01:13:15Thomas, he says that the tornado's coming, so he made us get into the bathroom. He thinks he's protecting us
01:13:21or something, but he pulled out a gun and I don't know. I'm afraid he might use it.
01:13:27I thought he was convinced that Storm was there to take you and Leigh away.
01:13:30Uh, yeah. Yeah, he was, but he... he said that he's... I don't know, he saw something else and he's
01:13:38not listening to reason.
01:13:40All right, listen. Have you... have you called the police yet?
01:13:42Uh, yes. I mean, I will. I will. I wanted to call you first because I think if you come
01:13:48to the house and you talk to him, I think he will listen to you.
01:13:52Okay, I'm headed there right now, but I want you to call the police and I want you to stay
01:13:57calm until I get there, okay?
01:13:59Okay, I will. Please hurry. Please hurry.
01:14:03You stay calm until I get there.
01:14:13Okay, everything's gonna be just fine. Everything's gonna be fine, okay? I'm just gonna wait here.
01:14:49Okay, let's go.
01:14:52Okay, let's go.
01:14:53Your move.
01:15:27Rita, open the door.
01:15:29I called the police. They're on their way.
01:15:32You what?
01:15:34Just leave us alone, Thomas.
01:15:37I don't need any help, Rita. Come on, the storm is coming. It's close. Open the door.
01:15:42They're gonna be here soon. Just let them take you in and they can get you the help that you
01:15:46need.
01:15:47I don't need any help.
01:15:48Thomas, please just leave us alone.
01:15:50What are you doing? I'm doing this for you for your own good. Now, come on. Open the door.
01:15:55Rita.
01:15:56Please.
01:15:57Rita.
01:16:12This is the test, Rita. He's testing me. He's testing me. Now, come on. The storm is coming. Open the
01:16:20door.
01:16:22It's not a test, Thomas. Please just leave us alone. Okay, fine. You leave me no choice. I'm gonna do
01:16:35what I've gotta do.
01:16:46Hey, hey, hey. Thomas! Thomas! Thomas!
01:17:04The officer has allowed you and I to have a little time to talk, if that's okay with you.
01:17:08Talk about what?
01:17:10Well, we know that Lee and Rita are inside and we need to know if they're safe.
01:17:14Are you armed, Thomas?
01:17:15No one is safe from what's coming.
01:17:18I understand that. Toa, I, hey, hey, hey. I understand that, Thomas.
01:17:25But we need to know if you have harmed them in any way.
01:17:30They're my family, Bill. Why would I hurt them?
01:17:33Thomas, look. We just need to understand the situation we're walking into, alright?
01:17:39Situation?
01:17:39Okay, Thomas. Drop the weapon. Drop the weapon, Thomas.
01:17:42Hey, hey, hey. Please, please. We, let's, let's just talk.
01:17:44I tell you the situation is that there's a tornado coming, okay? And it's coming fast.
01:17:49Okay, fine. When?
01:17:50Soon.
01:17:51Soon, soon. That's not a time. It's not a place, Thomas.
01:17:55Oh, so it's okay for the big man upstairs to not put a time or day on his big return,
01:17:59but if I do it, then I'm crazy?
01:18:01Thomas, you are not well.
01:18:06Well, maybe I'm the only one that understands and can see what's coming.
01:18:09Listen, okay. God, God grants us visions. Alright, I understand that.
01:18:13But, but, but this? I mean, come on. Lee is a little girl. She's scared. And this is not going
01:18:18to get you back with Junior.
01:18:20Don't you talk about my son!
01:18:21Okay, okay, Thomas. Listen, you got 30 seconds before I step in. I will shoot if it means keeping Lee
01:18:26safe.
01:18:26Oh? Did you keep my son safe, Evans? Huh? Were you there for him?
01:18:30Stand down, Thomas. I mean it. Stand down.
01:18:33Thomas, listen to what he is saying. You have kidnapped your family and you are now pointing a firearm at
01:18:40a police officer.
01:18:41How do you think this is going to go down? If you get out of here at all, you're going
01:18:45to go to jail.
01:18:46And you're not going to be able to save your family from the tornado. So listen to the police officer,
01:18:51put the gun down, or all of this is going to be for nothing.
01:19:02No, hey, hey, Thomas. Thomas, you listen to me. Taking your own life is a sin. If you do that,
01:19:11there is no way you are going to spend any time with any of your family ever again. Do you
01:19:17hear me?
01:19:20I just wanted to end. I understand that. The pain will go away. Thomas, let us help you. Let your
01:19:30family help you. Don't do this. Put the gun down and let us help you.
01:19:39No, Thomas. Thomas.
01:20:02Here it comes.
01:20:14You stay here. I'll be right, I'll be right back, baby. Stay here. Don't leave.
01:20:20The little girl's inside. She's in the bathroom. Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey. It's all right. It's okay. It's all
01:20:28right. It's all right. It's all right. It's all right. Yeah. It's all right.
01:20:32Thomas. Thomas. Thomas. Thomas. Thomas. Thomas. Thomas. Thomas. Thomas. Thomas. Thomas. Thomas. Thomas. Thomas. Thomas. Thomas. Thomas. Thomas. Thomas. Thomas.
01:20:46Thomas. Thomas. Thomas. Thomas. Thomas. Thomas. Thomas. Thomas. Thomas. Thomas. Thomas. Thomas. Thomas. Thomas. Thomas. Thomas. Thomas. Thomas. Thomas. Thomas.
01:20:52Thomas. Thomas. Thomas. Thomas. Thomas. Thomas. Thomas. Thomas. Thomas. Thomas. Thomas. Thomas. Thomas. Thomas. Thomas. Thomas. Thomas. Thomas. Thomas. Thomas.
01:20:52Thomas. Thomas. Thomas. Thomas. Thomas. Thomas. Thomas. Thomas. Thomas. Thomas. Thomas. Thomas. Thomas. Thomas. Thomas. Thomas. Thomas. Thomas. Thomas. Thomas.
01:20:53Thomas. Thomas. Thomas. Thomas. Thomas. Thomas. Thomas. Thomas. Thomas. Thomas. Thomas. Thomas. Thomas. Thomas. Thomas. Thomas. Thomas. Thomas. Thomas. Thomas.
01:20:54Thomas. Thomas. Thomas. Thomas. Thomas. Thomas. Thomas. Thomas. Thomas. Thomas. Thomas
01:21:00Fear not, for I am with you.
01:21:09I'm sorry.
01:21:11How is he?
01:21:16Sounded good on the phone.
01:21:27I've been thinking about taking Lee to see him, but...
01:21:32I just don't know.
01:21:36Rita. Rita, she's strong.
01:21:40Just like her mother.
01:21:43The right time will reveal itself. It always does. Always.
01:21:50I've been coming here for three weeks every single day since it happened.
01:21:55As good as those words sound.
01:22:00I feel more alone than ever.
01:22:05Grief takes time. It waxes, it wanes.
01:22:13But believe me when I tell you, you will find joy again.
01:22:17You know, every single night I...
01:22:23I walk outside.
01:22:27And I just look up at the sky and just...
01:22:32I hope that I see something, anything that would prove to me that he's not crazy.
01:22:45Rita, Thomas is a good man. He's a good man.
01:22:51As his pastor, my fervent prayer is that right now, he's in the Father's hands.
01:23:01Well, the weather report says rain's coming.
01:23:09Well then, then you better pack your umbrella, young lady.
01:23:34I'll see you tomorrow.
01:23:37Okay.
01:23:37I'm all right.
01:23:52Mm.
01:23:58That's pretty good.
01:24:00I don't know.
01:24:01I'm sorry.
01:24:01I'm sorry.
01:24:01I'm sorry.
01:24:06I'm sorry.
01:24:27And to warm things up a little bit, I'm going to play a tune by Cody Westheimer.
01:24:32It's one of my favorites.
01:24:39In breaking news tonight, a tornado has destroyed a small town in Texas.
01:24:44We do not currently have accurate numbers of injuries.
01:24:47However, the devastation is unbelievable.
01:24:50I'm going to go to the next level.
01:25:07I'm going to go to the next level.
01:25:41I'm going to go to the next level.
01:26:17I'm going to go to the next level.
01:26:32I'm going to go to the next level.
01:26:50I'm going to go to the next level.
01:27:02I'm going to go to the next level.
