Someone got hurt?

Joe, what are you doing?

- Joe, stop!

It's mine fake blood. It's fake.

Guys.

Come here, what are these things?

No one cares.

Look around you.

They look like white

Rubik cubes or something.

I don't think that's what they are.

Maybe white metals, or something.

There's like a billion of them.

What's going on?

Martin, it's going to be okay, alright.

- Are you serious?

Guys, get up here. You can

see everything from up here.

Joe.

According to my uncle Jeff, an accident

like this is exceptionally rare.

It wasn't an accident.

What?

There was truck on the train track.

Are you serious?

- Like driving on the tracks?

There.

Oh my Gosh.

How could a pick-up truck derail a train?

That's impossible.

Obviously it isn't.

Oh sh*t!

Oh my God. I know that truck.

Guys.

Is that him?

- Yes, it's him.

Who?

- Yes it is, for sure.

Who is it?

Dr Woodward.

Dr Woodward?

Biology.

Honours, Biology.

- Wow!

I am not in his class.

We know.

- Shut up, Cary.

Remember when old man Woodward

told your electronic football?

Yes, he put it in the dungeon

and never gave it back.

Dungeon?

That trailer where Woodward

keeps in the school's parking lot.

Dr Woodward?

Dr Woodward?

Map of the Contiguous United States.

What's the writing?

Date and time.

What's this line?

The schedule for the train.

Who are you?

Dr Woodward,

...it's me,

Charles Kaznyk,

...fourth period.

You've been in an accident.

You're going to be okay.

Oh sh*t!

Swear... I will kill you.

Do not speak of this.

Or else, you...

and your parents...

will die.

Guys look.

We shouldn't be here.

- Go!

Come on! Let's get out of here!

Guys, come on!

Guys, come on!

Hurry up! Let's go! Let's go!

Get in!

Did you get the plate?

I didn't get the plate. Did you get it?

Oh God! That was insane!

He had a gun! I've never seen a gun!

My heart is pounding!

That train could have kill us!

Are you okay?

Oh sh*t, my camera's like shattered now!

Guys, I've never had a

teacher aiming a gun at me!

How can I drive when everyone's yelling?

Guys, keep it down.

You will die, your parents will die.

Guys, that's not good information.

Sh*t, the focus ring just fell off!

No one cares about your camera!

Guys, am I the only one shaking?

I'm crying.

- We can't tell anyone we were there.

My dad can't find out I took his car.

You guys here me?

It's okay. We're not

saying anything to anyone.

Guys, we are not saying anything are we?

No.

See?

No one is going to know.

We'll sink it here.

Joe.

Thank you.

I never should have done this.

Joe? Joe, wake up.

Make sure you let Lucy out, alright?

- I will.

What are you going to do?

Are you going to be at Charles' today?

Yes, I'll be with Charles.

Alright, I'm heading in. There's

something I got to deal with.

Don't forget to get the Oar.

- I won't.

Oh, come on.

No, you're not wearing that.

No one in the house is wearing that.

Oh really. Compared to

Debbie, these are long.

Listen to your mother.

So I can't go to Wendy's party

over the shorts? Not fair!

Jennifer, we're not in Africa.

Do we have anymore English muffins?

Why don't you get off and check?

Hey, tell the twins to stop.

- I can't.

Good morning Joe.

- Good morning Mr. Kaznyk.

Hi Joe, did you hear

about the train crash?

No.

- It's on the news.

... use local crews, instead

opting to use military personnel, / i

which to this reporter, only

adds to the mystery. / i

Of course we have much more to

the story as it develops. / i

coming to you live

from Montgomery County

Do you believe this?

No.

It's on the news, that means it's real.

- I know.

Dr Thomas Woodward is still being

treated by air force personnel / i

after last night's train derailment. / i.

Woodward apparently fell asleep at

the wheel of his pick-up truck / i.

which was hit by the speeding train.

How about you clean it up?

That would be a great

help, thank you so much.

... largest of accident

in Ohio history. / i.

Condition of Woodward who is currently teaching

in Middle School for the past three years.../ i

Looks like a disaster movie, doesn't it?

My God.

Joe, you're so awesome.

What?

We can use it, we can film it.

You want to go back?

Oh sh*t, that's mint.

- Really?

You're a total brain. We

got to get the camera fixed

film developed from last night.

- Okay.

I am going to steal

some money from my mum.

If any of the footage is

useable from last night,

that means we need Alice

to play the wife again.

Oh yes, I thought she was really good.

Yes, she was mint but

she's never going to do it.

I think she will.

There's no way. You heard what she said.
