before they start shifting to places

they've never been before.

- Like where?

- Like Los Angeles. Or Chicago.

Even London.

PETE [OVER RADIO]:

Tree blocking the road.

DARYL:
We got a problem.

ALLISON:
Can you get around that?

No.

TREY [OVER RADIO]:

Moorpark. Right, Dad?

It's about three miles west.

It might be clear that far out.

Good call.

Doubling back to Moorpark.

That's a great boy you've got.

Do you ever think about the last thing

you said to your mom?

I think about it every day.

Um...

Because I was pissed at her.

I was always pissed at her for something.

For leaving Dad. For leaving me and Trey.

We used to spend the weekends with her,

so she was...

She was dropping us back, and she tried

to kiss me goodbye, and I just...

I barely looked at her,

and she walked away.

Yeah, that was it. That was the last time.

What happened?

It was a car accident.

- I'm sorry.

- No.

It's...

[CLANGING FROM ABOVE]

You hear that?

KAITLYN:

Hello?

DONNIE:

Hey! Hey, we're down here!

KAITLYN:
Hello?

DONNIE:
Please help us!

[KAITLYN SCREAMS]

KAITLYN:
What happened?

DONNIE:
I think a pipe burst!

KAITLYN:

Oh, my God!

Get on it, Donk. You see anything yet?

DONK:
I think the twister cloud's up ahead

- Twister cloud?

Sh*t! Slow down, Donk!

You're busting my balls!

DONK:
Straight over this hill! You'll be fine!

- No! Not the hill!

Hey! Moron!

[BOTH GRUNTING]

REEVIS:

Oh, my God!

Ugh! Damn! You dumb-ass!

- What the hell, man?

- Whoo! Yeah!

- You all right, man?

- Yes! Ha-ha-ha.

[THUNDER CRASHING]

Whoa.

Aw. This thing's awesome.

PETE:
She's a beast.

- Absolutely.

Wow, this is so cool.

You gonna be all right?

Look, I know I yell at you a lot. But listen.

When I first started,

I was scared shitless too.

We got a lot riding on this.

But when the moment comes...

trust me, you're gonna be fine.

Yes, sir.

PETE:

You getting this on radar?

I see it. It's headed fast in this direction.

[OVER RADIO]

I got three small hook echoes. Maybe four.

- D, you getting any visual on this?

DARYL:
No. Nothing.

I'm not seeing anything, you guys.

What's happening up top, kid?

I got nothing up here. Just clouds.

Wait, there it is. Right there on the left!

- Are you seeing this?

LUCAS:
Yeah, yeah, I got it.

We got movement to the northeast.

Take a look at that!

[DONK & REEVIS WHOOP]

Guys, it's splitting.

ALLISON:
We're gonna have another funnel.

TREY:
Something's happening behind us.

There's another one.

JACOB:

There's one to our right!

Two.

There are three. Four!

Sh*t, they're everywhere!

We have multiple vortices touching down.

ALLISON:
These systems are too erratic.

We gotta get out of here.

PETE:

No, no, no!

[DONK WHOOPS]

- Look at that thing!

- Aah!

Oh, my God!

JACOB:

Oh, God!

[CAR ALARMS BLARING]

REEVIS:

Look at the size of that thing!

We're gonna be YouTube stars

for the rest of our lives!

Ha, ha! Better than sex, Donk! Ha-ha-ha.

DONK:

How would you know?

[SCREAMING]

TREY:

Dad!

Behind us!

Is everybody all right?

- Yeah.

- I'm okay.

GARY:

Oh, sh*t.

PETE:
Keep filming!

JACOB:
Yeah, I got it!

This is unbelievable!

TREY:
Dad!

PETE:
Are you all right?

I can't get out the side.

We're gonna go through the back.

- Trey, you okay?

TREY:
Yeah, I'm fine.

PETE:

Let's go!

JACOB:
Come on, come on, come on!

- Come on. Come on.

GARY:
Trey!

TREY:
Over here!

We gotta take cover! Everybody in the Titus!

Run! Let's move! Move!

LUCAS:
Come on!

- Let's go!

DARYL:

Look out!

PETE:

Come on!

GARY:

Everybody head for the church!

- Come on, Trey, stay with me!

TREY:
Look out!

JACOB:

Holy sh*t!

ALLISON:

Oh, my God!

This is amazing! I gotta get this!

PETE:

Jake, forget it!

Jake, come on!

Allison!

PETE:
Jake!

- Jacob!

JACOB:
My camera!

- Leave it!

But I gotta get the footage!

PETE:

Jake, come on! Let's go!

Sh*t!

[SCREAMS]

- No! No, no, no!

- Come on!

JACOB:

Help me! No, no, no!

[JACOB SCREAMING]

- No! Jacob!

- No! He's gone! Allison, he's gone!

- Get inside!

- Shut the door!

TREY:

Come on, come on, come on!

GARY:

Get down!

DARYL:

Okay.

Oh, sh*t.

[CAMERA BEEPS]

Trey. Trey!

TREY:

I'm here, Dad.

GARY:
Let's get out of here.

- Yeah.

- Where are you going?

- I'm getting my son.

Please, wait. It isn't safe out there.

What if it was your daughter?

Um...

If we can get the van back on the road, we'll

be safer than we would be on foot. Okay?

Pete, can you hook up-?

Is that all you care about?

No. No.

ALLISON:

Jacob's dead, Pete.

He'd probably still be alive

if it wasn't for you.

You think what happened is my fault?

I mean, he wasn't out there shooting

for himself, was he?

He was getting your shot for your movie...

because you told him nothing else matters,

and you wouldn't let him go.

No.

It wasn't Pete.

It was me.

I brought him here. It was my fault.

No. No. None of this should have happened.

You gotta help him find his son.

ALLISON:

I will. What about you?

I'm gonna stay here.

I'll see if I can find Jacob's parents.

Get in contact with them.

Okay.

KAITLYN:
Help me close up the gap!

DONNIE:
Huh?

KAITLYN:

Help me close it up!

[BOTH GRUNTING]

DONNIE:
Can you stop it coming in?

- I'm trying!

Lucas, you coming?

Pete-

Suit yourself. I gotta finish this.

Trey, come on. Get in.

- Let's go find your brother.

TREY:
All right.

Come on, baby.

[ENGINE STUTTERS]

Come on.

[ENGINE REVS]

That's my girl.

Dad, it's getting worse out there.

[MAN SPEAKING INDISTINCTLY

ON SCREEN]

Still no signal.

KAITLYN:

My phone. It's not working.

Try yours.

DONNIE:

No, there's no signal.

- Try it through the gap right there.

- Okay.

Your arm can fit.

- Oh, my God. There's a bar, there's a bar.

- Put it on speakerphone!

GARY [ON MACHINE]:

This is Gary. Leave a message.

Dad! Dad! Please help us!

The building fell down on top of us,

and there's water pouring in...

and I don't know how long we've got!

Dad!

Aah.

Oh, sh*t!

Oh, sh*t.

I'm sorry. It's dead.

I'm sorry.

[WOMAN WHIMPERING]

Are you folks all right?

I'm taking these people to the shelter.

GARY:
You been by the industrial park?

- Sure have. Whole place has been flattened.

- Did you see anyone? A boy? A girl?

- I didn't see anybody. I'm sorry.

- Maybe he made it to the school.

- What if he didn't? We gotta go.

Listen. I heard on the radio,

all the warning sirens are down.

If a tornado's coming,

you're not gonna know it.

DONNIE:

Okay.

Mom.

Dad.

I just wanna thank you for everything.

I was gonna come down the stairs

this morning to say goodbye...

but when I came you were already gone.

I got a message.

DONNIE [ON RECORDING]:

Dad! Dad! Please help us!

The building fell down on top of us,

and there's water pouring in...

- ... and I don't know how long we've got!

ALLISON:
Oh, my God.

You should know I'm not alone.

Donnie's here

He's been really sweet.

So it's kind of okay.

I love you so much.

Guess what.

I spent the last week filming time capsules
