The plant's gonna blow up|while you're there.

Where are the cops?|What are they doing?

Have you received a bomb threat?

I didn't say anything about a bomb.|There's a source.

- I know this sounds-|- You're messing up here, John.

Get me Cyrus Bills at the Post.

Our top story takes us tonight|to Point Pleasant...

In what he's called|a successful review...

Governor McCallum has given|high marks to this petrochemical plant.

He is expected to call|for similar renovations...

Son of a b*tch.

I congratulate my friends|at Edgewater Petrochemical...

It leaves Dulles|for Columbus, Ohio at 1:45.

I tried to get you on the one to|Charleston, but they're all booked up.

So if you leave now,|you'll just make it.

I can't.

It's Christmas Eve,|John.

You shouldn't be alone.

I can't.

Yeah, you can.

You know...

when Mary got sick...

I couldn't help thinking...

this isn't real.

I can stop this.

I know I can.|I can stop this.

No one can stop it,|John.

Listen to me.

Planes are going to crash.|Earthquakes are going to happen.

People you know and love|are going to die...

and no matter what|that voice tells you...

there's nothing|you can do about it.

It's two years to the day.

He told me that she's goi ng to call.|He said that Mary's going to call.

He's lying.

Whoever calls|maysound like her...

but it's not gonna be her.

I don't know what happens to us|after we die...

but I'll bet you|wherever Mary is now...

she's nowhere near Indrid Cold.

What if it is her?

She's dead,|John.

The only important question now is|how do you want to remember her?

I miss her so much.

I know you do.|Of course you do.

But, John,|listen...

you can miss her here|just as easily as there.

Even more easily because there,|you're all alone.

And that's just no way to be.

You do whatever|you need to do...

and I'll understand.

But here,|we have dinner at 6:00...

and we open presents at 8:00.

And we hope we see you.

Okay?

Bye, John.

WJMP time is 5:

Sh*t.

Great tragedy on the River Ohio.

My God.
