00:04:23Let's fall asleep.
00:04:26Yeah, that's it. I think that's it. I must have dozed off while you were inside.
00:04:31Aren't you gonna ask me how it went?
00:04:33Yeah, aren't you gonna ask her how it went?
00:04:36Well, of course I am. How'd it go, sweetheart?
00:04:39I got third place, which is actually better than second or even first,
00:04:46because now I get to play the daisy in the play, which is the part I was hoping for all
00:04:52along.
00:04:53A daisy?
00:04:55Yeah, like a flower.
00:04:57Wow, that's terrific. That's fantastic. You're gonna make a really good daisy.
00:05:02Good job, honey.
00:05:03Are you guys ready to go?
00:05:04Yeah.
00:05:05Yeah.
00:05:28I don't know.
00:05:30Do you wanna go?
00:05:33Yeah.
00:05:35Oh, wait wait wait. Did you eat something?
00:05:41I'm not hungry.
00:05:43Hey there. 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.
00:07:04I think she's always hungry.
00:07:06He's around a distance.
00:07:07You're not ready to eat, or I don't know a lot.
00:07:08No one of her.
00:07:13Maybe you're hungry.
00:07:21I'm not hungry.
00:07:21I'm hungry.
00:07:21I'm hungry.
00:07:22You're hungry.
00:07:22I'm hungry.
00:07:26You're hungry.
00:07:27I'm hungry.
00:07:27You're hungry.
00:07:29I'm hungry.
00:07:29You're hungry.
00:07:33I'm hungry.
00:09:02Oh, good. You're up.
00:09:04I'm volunteering at church this morning, so I need you to pick up Lee on your way in.
00:09:15Thomas?
00:09:19What?
00:09:20Lee, I need you to pick her up on your way into group.
00:09:26Are you feeling all right? You look a little sick.
00:09:31I'm fine.
00:09:33Did you sleep all right?
00:09:36Not really. Bad 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.
00:10:26I'll see you later, then.
00:10:35Okay.
00:10:36Who would like to start?
00:10:37Who wants to share?
00:10:42I'll go first.
00:10:51Yeah, you know, uh, for me it's different.
00:10:57For me it's like a endless will turns in my head, you know?
00:11:02I tried my best to be a good father.
00:11:05I did everything with him, you know?
00:11:08I took him fishing.
00:11:10We went horseback riding one time.
00:11:12He almost fell off the horse.
00:11:14It was, it was...
00:11:16I 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...
00:11:33And I don't know if that was the right move.
00:11:37And then one day...
00:11:41You 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.
00:11:54I'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...
00:12:03Find the...
00:12:04Best version of my dead son.
00:12:08I mean, you just get tired of looking.
00:12:13Who wants to live that way?
00:12:14Who wants to live that way?
00:12:18Yeah.
00:12:20Sometimes I just want to close my eyes, you know?
00:12:23Never wake up.
00:12:25Enjoy the more he's at.
00:12:30I know it's hard to believe, but sometimes just the right Bible verse can lift your spirits, can give you
00:12:39comfort, even in the darkest of times.
00:12:45For example, in the book of Matthew, it tells us,
00:12:49Let the little children come to me and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such
00:12:57as these.
00:13:00So my hope is that this knowledge, that your children have indeed entered into the kingdom of heaven, can be
00:13:10a 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 if
00:13:55I 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.
00:14:51I talked to Rita.
00:14:54She's expressed some concern about you.
00:14:56Is she?
00:14:57Yeah, she 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 say goodbye?
00:15:13It's time to go, sweetheart.
00:15:14Come on.
00:15:14Goodbye, sweetie.
00:15:16Bye.
00:15:19Check out.
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 that 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.
00:16:36It 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.
00:17:02I'm just saying, it reminded me of that storm is all.
00:17:07Does she know?
00:17:09Rita?
00:17:10No.
00:17:11Last 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 them?
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.
00:18:53And 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.
00:19:21So it was a vision.
00:19:24Baby.
00:19:26This 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?
00:19:52God didn't take Thomas Jr. from us.
00:19:54You know this.
00:19:55No?
00:19:57Well, have you seen him around lately?
00:19:58Because I haven't.
00:20:00And believe me, I look.
00:20:02Every day.
00:20:09I lost my appetite.
00:20:18The Bible clearly instructs us to be vigilant, but it also says that no one actually knows
00:20:25whether or not we are living in the end times.
00:20:28In fact, Jesus himself said that no one is to know the day or the hour of his return.
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.
00:21:01Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all, especially, very important word, especially to those who are
00:21:16of the household of faith.
00:21:27Now, I want you to grab your hymnals, I want you to stand up, and we are going to sing
00:21:35a little praise, all right?
00:21:37I'm doing a little praise.
00:21:39There is peace in the time of trouble.
00:21:45Wait.
00:21:46Why are we leaving early?
00:21:48Leah, baby, come on.
00:21:49Can you go get in the truck for Dad?
00:21:54You saw it again, didn't you?
00:21:55I don't know.
00:21:59I 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.
00:22:12Just.
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 with 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
00:23:44bath with a mattress or two.
00:23:52Numbers at the top.
00:23:55Call me if you change your mind.
00:23:56Thanks.
00:24:15What was that all about?
00:24:20Think about building a storm shelter.
00:24:25Not for $15,000, you're 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.
00:24:38This is important.
00:24:45You 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 have
00:25:16missed him our entire lives, and all I'm left with now is just anger and emptiness.
00:25:31Donnie, you have a beautiful daughter who loves you, and a wife who's stood by your side always.
00:25:40I know, and I'm afraid that tornado is going to come and take all that away.
00:25:47And you think God has something to do with this?
00:25:50Yeah.
00:25:52Like he's trying to punish you?
00:25:56For what?
00:26:01For daring him to finally do it.
00:26:20I've got to say, I was kind of surprised to get a call from you.
00:26:25Well, I tried to reach the six o'clock guy at the news station, 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.
00:27:20Got yourself a tornado.
00:27:26Is there any way to predict when they'll happen?
00:27:33Is there any way to predict when they'll happen?
00:27:47No, that'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.
00:28:00Curiosity.
00:28:00Actually, my daughter's got a school project, so this is me doing research.
00:28:05Which is it?
00:28:07Curiosity.
00:28:09A school project.
00:28:12A school project.
00:28:14You know what they call tornadoes?
00:28:17The hand of God.
00:28:20A bad 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.
00:28:30Whew.
00:28:32What was the special immerse of?
00:28:33Yeah.
00:28:41While you're at the center center center of?..
00:28:49For After the development center center I went into NYU, as well, isn't it?
00:28:51I don't know what this was.
00:28:51Repeat it quickly, why don't you feel a變?
00:28:58No, nobody needs that way.
00:29:01In the first video, we would appreciate it.
00:29:02I don't know.
00:29:35I don't know.
00:30:01Have you discussed your feelings with him?
00:30:05Yeah, I've tried.
00:30:06He just shuts me out.
00:30:11You know, just the other day, he...
00:30:15He told me that he's been having...
00:30:20visions...
00:30:20about a tornado that's coming to take our family.
00:30:25Go on.
00:30:35I don't know. It's like...
00:30:41Ever since the funeral, he's like a different person.
00:30:46He used to be so...
00:30:49so funny, and...
00:30:51he was so full of life.
00:30:54And now he's just angry all the time, and...
00:30:59quiet. 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...
00:31:14to 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...
00:31:26it always causes, you know, strain...
00:31:31between 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...
00:31:40you break your leg.
00:31:41Okay, you break your leg.
00:31:42It doesn't heal properly.
00:31:45Okay?
00:31:45So it hurts.
00:31:46It hurts when the weather gets cold.
00:31:50It hurts when the weather gets cold.
00:31:50So what do you do?
00:31:52You learn to walk with a limp.
00:31:57Yeah.
00:31:58Yeah, I like that.
00:32:00Learn to walk with a limp.
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.
00:32:31So you think he's making it up?
00:32:35No, no.
00:32:37I don't think he's making it up.
00:32:38But what I think is that God would never give someone a vision
00:32:41and not tell them what it actually means.
00:32:46Yeah, but I mean, tornadoes, what does that mean?
00:32:52Think about weather.
00:32:56They're kind of like our emotions, the emotions of the soul.
00:33:01So rain is tears and sorrow.
00:33:04Thunder is fear.
00:33:09Tornadoes, their grief, their 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.
00:33:22Good.
00:33:24Think 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.
00:34:07Hey, 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.
00:34:32Thanks.
00:34:36God bless you, man.
00:34:38No problem.
00:34:40So you guys got hit pretty good?
00:34:42Yeah.
00:34:42We 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, Nick.
00:34:57It's worth a couple thousand dollars.
00:34:59Nah, I can't accept that.
00:35:01Come on.
00:35:01Please 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.
00:35:18Come on.
00:35:20Come on.
00:35:20Come on.
00:36:25Is everything all right?
00:36:27Did you hear that?
00:36:29Hear what?
00:36:30A minute ago.
00:36:31Did you not hear the siren?
00:36:32No, I didn't hear it.
00:36:36You didn't...
00:36:37You didn't see the cloud?
00:36:39Did you feel the wind?
00:36:40You felt it.
00:36:40You didn't hear the siren?
00:36:41No, sir.
00:36:43I'm sorry.
00:36:46He's coming back, you know.
00:36:50Who?
00:36:51Our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
00:36:53Our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
00:37:08Our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
00:37:35Oh, jeez.
00:37:53Where did you go today? Library. Pick up some books? I saw them in the truck on my way in.
00:38:05Just some research. What? Tornadoes?
00:38:24You saw it again, didn't you?
00:38:44Thomas. You 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. It's God, right?
00:39:00Who are you? Because 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. What else do you want from me?
00:39:25I want you to start believing in things again. I want the husband that I married, the one who makes
00:39:32me 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.
00:39:47But 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.
00:40:16Yes, it is.
00:40:17No, 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. For what? For what?
00:40:28I won't spend one more day on my knees for him. Not one.
00:40:47I couldn't save him. Even when his body gave out on him, I couldn't save him.
00:40:56He took our son from us. God, he took our boy from us and you couldn't care less!
00:41:01That is not fair and that's not true! We have another child, Thomas!
00:41:21I can't do this. Not like this. It's too hard.
00:41:28You're in luck. You won't have to. Because when that storm comes, we'll be wiped off this piece of dirt
00:41:32like we never existed.
00:41:35You're in luck.
00:41:39Ah.
00:41:49You're in the house for us.
00:41:50Yes, it is.
00:41:51Yes.
00:41:51Yes.
00:41:54Yes, yes.
00:41:56Yes, yes, yes.
00:41:57Yes, yes.
00:42:08I don't know.
00:42:59I love you.
00:43:02I love you.
00:43:10Here.
00:43:11This 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, it 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 and 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.
00:45:13Okay.
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.
00:45:26But 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.
00:45:38It's personal.
00:45:39I want to see y'all of this amorous enemy.
00:45:40Yeah.
00:45:59Jerry.
00:46:03That was personal hope for us.
00:47:19Thomas.
00:47:24Thomas.
00:47:26Thomas.
00:47:27It's here!
00:47:28It's here!
00:47:29I told you!
00:47:30Thomas!
00:47:31Daddy, no!
00:47:36Leave, baby.
00:47:38Everything's all right.
00:47:39Daddy's just having a nightmare.
00:47:41Let's go back to bed.
00:47:54Is she all right?
00:47:56The wrists are a little sore.
00:48:00And Leanne?
00:48:01She won't even look at me.
00:48:05Yeah.
00:48:05Well, 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 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,
00:49:41you're never going 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?
00:49:52Get it over with, 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.
00:50:08And when that storm comes, that is what we'll 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.
00:50:23Now, 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.
00:50:44See, 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?
00:51:21ENSOTComogue
00:51:2213

00:51:2211
00:51:2311
00:51:2412
00:51:2518
00:51:2515
00:51:29I don't know.
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.

00:52:14Yeah.
00:52:17Lee, hey, little bear, look at me.
00:52:21You know I would never hurt you, right?
00:52:26You know I would never hurt you.

00:53:30though what is the storm what made you say that visions are more intense like the
00:53:40other night what did pastor Bill have to say same thing as you that I'm going
00:53:48crazy Bill said that more or less I doubt that and I never said you were going
00:53:58crazy honey you know all this tornado talk made me remember something when I was
00:54:0817 I had a nightmare that a tornado was coming so I hid in the basement of our
00:54:13home and I told my dad about the dream and he said that what it means is that
00:54:22there's something that happened in that home that I haven't fully processed yet as
00:54:30did you know my mom died when I was 11
00:54:54Oh calm down come on come on okay easy I will
00:54:59that's right please don't hurt us whoa calm hey you got what you wanted okay
00:55:07stop
00:55:11stop please
00:55:29oh where's lee she's at the neighbors she's fine
00:55:35how are we feeling like i got my ass kicked
00:55:39rita told me about what happened i tell you this area used to be so safe
00:55:46yeah right we're gonna fill out a report as soon as he's up for it
00:55:50good good well it doesn't look like that punk gave you anything made you to be concerned about
00:55:58so what's the problem
00:56:04what do you mean what's the problem
00:56:07you know the results of your scan came back your blood pressure's high
00:56:11you're normally pretty healthy
00:56:15how's your sleep are 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
00:56:49does it help
00:56:50not 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 that'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
00:57:10i 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
00:57:26has really helped with her allergies
00:57:28so thank you
00:57:29good good i'm glad to hear that
00:57:30give her my love
00:57:32i will
00:57:33i'll get you a script
00:57:34just let me grab my bag
00:57:39i'll see you out doctor
00:57:41yeah i'll be right back
00:57:54do you think he's gonna be all right
00:57:56yeah i i think he's fine
00:57:57i've known him for 20 years
00:57:59he's always been very strong
00:58:01but i 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
00:58:09and his sleeping patterns are a real concern
00:58:13he's that way a lot
00:58:15yeah
00:58:15there's something else going on
00:58:18um
00:58:23he's been having these visions
00:58:27i don't know how else to explain it
00:58:31but he's seen tornadoes
00:58:35i know it sounds crazy but
00:58:38this sounds psychological
00:58:40like he needs a different kind of doctor
00:58:43it's not my expertise
00:58:44um
00:58:47but i can i i know some good therapists
00:58:49i can give you a referral
00:58:52oh okay yeah

00:59:00they will be able to help him out
00:59:02all right
00:59:03and i'm just gonna phone in that that prescription

00:59:46you were mocked
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
01:00:02i saw another tornado
01:00:04only this time
01:00:06it destroyed every house on the street except one

01:02:32There's no tornado. There's no storm. It's completely quiet.
01:02:42For yourself.
01:02:55I heard the wind.
01:02:58No.
01:03:00You only thought you heard it.
01:03:03This is all in your mind.
01:03:33Treatment.
01:03:34I'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.
01:03:58There are a few places I like nearby. This way your family can visit.
01:04:02Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Visit?
01:04:03You want Thomas to leave home?
01:04:07I want your husband to get better.
01:04:12Look, if I were talking to my own son here, my diagnosis and treatment plan would be exactly the same.
01:04:20I read your file.
01:04:23Your son's death is taking a toll on Thomas' psyche.
01:04:28If you don't deal with this, we can't stop the delusions.
01:04:33They do are directly related.
01:04:36But I already go to group.
01:04:39At your local church, is that right?
01:04:41So?
01:04:43No offense, but...
01:04:44If 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 and have terrible dreams,
01:05:00it 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.
01:05:17You know, understanding is often times is most of the cure.
01:05:23But it all takes time and treatment.
01:05:26You can't.
01:05:46Nobody reads anymore.
01:05:50I guess that's what they call a lost art.
01:05:57What happened to your face?
01:06:02Why'd you stop going to church?
01:06:09Hey, 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, I now look at you.
01:06:21You know that's why he did it.
01:06:23God got tired of hearing you run your mouth.
01:06:27Eighteen years I lived with you and never a kind word.
01:06:31And now when I need you the most, you got nothing left to say.
01:06:34We can't go back.
01:06:38Only four.
01:06:42None.
01:06:43We can't go back.
01:06:49Trust he who forgives.
01:06:54I know I'm a broken man.
01:06:57But you don't have to carry this around like some disease.
01:07:05It's my cross.
01:07:08Not yours.
01:07:43You all right?
01:07:45Yeah.
01:07:46Fine.
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.
01:08:35I don't think I've been doing a lot, but we just have to try.
01:08:37I don't have to go inside the sitter.
01:08:38That's all.
01:08:42You got to go inside and look at him.
01:08:44You got to go inside and eat, and I'm here.
01:08:45I think I'm going to go inside and like it's under the owner.
01:08:45There's a lot of people playing inside.
01:08:46I'm going inside.
01:08:47I'm going to go inside and ask him.
01:08:50I'm going outside and order.
01:09:16Remember, 7 o'clock sharp, so no staying up late or sleeping in.
01:09:23I know.
01:09:26Okay.
01:09:27And no TV before bed.
01:09:29We 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.
01:09:38We've been practicing for months.
01:09:40We don't want you to be tired on stage or show up late, okay?
01:09:54You're not eating?
01:10:10Leanne, baby, can you take your food and go eat in the bathroom?
01:10:12Thomas.
01:10:14Leanne, please do as I say.
01:10:27What do you think you're doing?
01:10:30I lost a son.
01:10:32I'm not going to lose Leanne.
01:10:33Thomas.
01:10:34I was wrong.
01:10:35That twister's not coming for us.
01:10:37It's coming for everybody else.
01:10:38We are meant to survive.
01:10:40How could you possibly know that?
01:10:43That's what I saw.
01:10:45One house withstood the storm.
01:10:48All the others were destroyed.
01:10:50That's how God was showing me the path.
01:10:58You said you didn't know if that was our house or not.
01:11:00I know what I saw.
01:11:02It just didn't make sense until now is all.
01:11:06You were right.
01:11:09You were crazy.
01:11:15I knew you'd be like this.
01:11:17I knew you wouldn't believe me.
01:11:19You said it yourself.
01:11:20It was a vision from God.
01:11:23What are you going to do to us?
01:11:24Huh?
01:11:25Protect you.
01:11:27You'll see.
01:11:30You're ruining us.
01:11:31Don't you see that?
01:11:33You have a gun, Thomas.
01:11:36There's no coming back from that.
01:11:39Won't matter soon.
01:11:41There won't be anyone left.
01:11:43And then you'll see I was right.
01:11:47Thomas.
01:11:50Go get in the bathroom with Leanne.
01:11:54Don't do this.
01:11:55Go get in the bathroom with Leanne.
01:12:08You were hurt.
01:12:12You're dead.
01:12:33Mommy, I'm scared.
01:12:36Oh, it's going to be okay sweetheart.
01:12:39I'm not going to let anything happen to you, okay?
01:12:42Don't you worry, okay?
01:12:44All right.
01:12:45Mommy's going to call for some help.
01:12:57Bill.
01:13:04Rita.
01:13:05Bill, I need your help.
01:13:08Thomas, he has a gun and he made us go into the bathroom.
01:13:13Hey, hey, slow down, slow down.
01:13:14Say that one more time.
01:13:15Thomas, he says that the tornado's coming, so he made us get into the bathroom.
01:13:20He thinks he's protecting us or something, but he pulled out a gun and I don't know.
01:13:26I'm afraid he might use it.
01:13:27I thought he was convinced that Storm was there to take you and Lee away.
01:13:31Yeah.
01:13:32Yeah, he was, but he said that he's, I don't know, he saw something else and he's not listening to
01:13:39reason.
01:13:40All right, listen.
01:13:41Have you called the police yet?
01:13:42Uh, yes.
01:13:43I mean, I will.
01:13:45I will.
01:13:46Bill, I wanted to call you first because I think if you come to the house and you talk to
01:13:50him, I think he will listen to you.
01:13:53Okay, 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.
01:14:01Please hurry.
01:14:02Please hurry.
01:14:03You stay calm until I get there.
01:14:13Okay, everything's gonna be just fine.
01:14:16Everything's gonna be fine, okay?
01:14:18We're just gonna be here.
01:14:53You're moved.
01:15:05Okay.
01:15:05No.
01:15:18No, no, no, no.
01:15:22No, no, no, no.
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.
01:15:39Come on, the storm is coming.
01:15:40It's close.
01:15:41Open the door.
01:15:42They're going to be here soon.
01:15:44Just let them take you in.
01:15:45They can get you the help that you need.
01:15:47I don't need any help.
01:15:48Thomas, please just leave us alone.
01:15:51What are you doing?
01:15:51I'm doing this for you for your own good.
01:15:53Now, come on, open the door.
01:15:55Rita.
01:15:56Please.
01:15:57Rita.
01:16:12This is a test, Rita.
01:16:14He's testing me.
01:16:17He's testing me.
01:16:18Now, come on.
01:16:19The storm is coming.
01:16:20Open the door.
01:16:22It's not a test, Thomas.
01:16:27Please just leave us alone.
01:16:29Okay, fine.
01:16:32You leave me no choice.
01:16:35I'm going to do what I've got to do.
01:16:47Hey, hey, hey.
01:16:55Thomas.
01:16:57Thomas.
01:17:00Thomas.
01:17:00Thomas.
01:17:04The officer has allowed you and I to have a little time to talk, if that's okay with
01:17:08you.
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.
01:17:20I understand that.
01:17:20Toa, I, hey, hey, hey.
01:17:22I 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.
01:17:31Well, why would I hurt them?
01:17:33Thomas, look.
01:17:34We just need to understand the situation we're walking into, all right?
01:17:38Situation?
01:17:39Okay, Thomas.
01:17:40Drop the weapon.
01:17:41Drop the weapon, Thomas.
01:17:42Hey, hey, hey.
01:17:42Please, please.
01:17:42We, let's, let's just talk.
01:17:44I'll tell you the situation is that there's a tornado coming, okay?
01:17:48And it's coming fast.
01:17:49Okay, fine.
01:17:50When?
01:17:50Soon.
01:17:51Soon, soon.
01:17:52That's not a time.
01:17:52It's not a place, Thomas.
01:17:55So it's okay for the big man upstairs to not put a time or day on his big return, but
01:17:59if 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.
01:18:10Listen, okay, God, God grants us visions.
01:18:12All right, I understand that.
01:18:13But, but, but this?
01:18:14I mean, come on.
01:18:15Lee's a little girl.
01:18:16She's scared, and this is not going to get you back with Junior.
01:18:20Don't you talk about my son!
01:18:21Okay, okay, Thomas, listen.
01:18:22You got 30 seconds before I step in.
01:18:24I will shoot if it means keeping Lee safe.
01:18:26Oh?
01:18:27Did you keep my son safe, Evans, huh?
01:18:29Were you there for him?
01:18:30Stand down, Thomas.
01:18:31I mean it.
01:18:32Stand down.
01:18:33Thomas, listen to what he is saying.
01:18:36You have kidnapped your family, and you are now pointing a firearm at a police officer.
01:18:41How do you think this is going to go down?
01:18:43If you get out of here at all, you're going to go to jail.
01:18:45And you're not going to be able to save your family from the tornado.
01:18:48So listen to the police officer.
01:18:51Put the gun down.
01:18:52Or all of this is going to be for nothing.
01:19:03No, hey, hey, Thomas.
01:19:04Thomas, you listen to me.
01:19:07Taking your own life is a sin.
01:19:09If you do that, there is no way you are going to spend any time with any of your family
01:19:15ever again.
01:19:16Do you hear me?
01:19:20I just wanted to end.
01:19:24I understand that.
01:19:25The pain will go away.
01:19:27Thomas, let us help you.
01:19:30Let your family help you.
01:19:32Don't do this.
01:19:33Thomas, put the gun down, and let us help you.
01:19:40No, Thomas.
01:19:41Thomas.
01:20:01Here it comes.
01:20:06No!
01:20:14You stay here.
01:20:15I'll be right back, baby.
01:20:18Stay here.
01:20:18Don't leave.
01:20:20The little girl's inside.
01:20:21She's in the bathroom.
01:20:22Hey.
01:20:23Hey, hey, hey, hey.
01:20:24It's all right.
01:20:27It's all right.
01:20:29It's all right.
01:20:30It's all right.
01:20:32It's all right.
01:20:33Thomas.
01:20:34Thomas.
01:20:35Thomas.
01:20:35Thomas.
01:20:37Thomas.
01:20:38Thomas.
01:20:39Thomas.
01:20:40Thomas.
01:20:41Thomas.
01:20:44Thomas.
01:21:01Fear 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.
01:22:08It waxes, it wanes.
01:22:14But 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.
01:22:36Anything that would prove to me that he's not crazy.
01:22:45Rita, Thomas is a good man. He's a good man.
01:22:48And as 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...
01:23:10Then you better pack your umbrella, young lady.
01:23:34I'll see you tomorrow.
01:23:36I'll see you tomorrow.
01:23:37Okay.
01:23:41Okay.
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.
01:25:07That's small town.
01:25:14I hope so.
01:25:15It's fine.
