Original subtitles

What are you doing?

Same thing you are.

Well, look out your own side.

You're not the boss of me, you know. Yeah, but I am.

Sean, sit up now. Quit leaning against your sister.

Cool. Did you see that one, Dad?

Sure did.

Good one, huh?

Yeah, I see him. Hold on.

Hold on.

Just let Dad help Mr. McKay for me. He knows what he's doing.

April!

Stop! But the truck's on fire! Daddy, help!

Stay here with your brother.

Sean, you two need to come with me now.

Come on, son. I got you.

Come on.

That's it.

I got you.

I'm not leaving.

Come on, son.

No, get away from me.

It's the catchphrase for the new millennium, isn't it?

Global warming.

Has a nice ring to it.

Nice enough for political campaigns and automobile ads.

But it's not just a bumper sticker, a slogan, like have a nice day or make

not war.

Last May, New England was hit with the worst storms and floods since the 1938

hurricane.

In June, the worst storm in 200 years flooded the mid -Atlantic region. In

thunderstorms in St. Louis. In August, record tornadoes in Missouri and

Illinois. And in December, 70 -mile -an -hour winds in Denver, Indonesia, the

Pacific Coast, Central Florida.

They all fit the predicted pattern of global warming.

There is mounting evidence that our actions are influencing more dramatic

weather changes and in places never thought imaginable.

The longer we deny this, the more we trivialize it as a bumper sticker

the higher the cost we face, both monetarily and in human lives.

Any questions?

Lou, Lou Dodson, campus paper. You got them in?

Okay.

Congratulations on your book coming out.

Thanks. I'd love to talk to you about it if you have some time. I'm doing an

article on you for the paper.

Oh, sorry, Lou.

Last time the school paper did a story on me, well, let's just say it was less

than a clattering.

Well, you know what they say, any press is good press.

If being dubbed Tornado Lady is somehow considered good press, I'd hate to see

bad press.

You have a nice day.

I think you're right. Everything you say in your book. I think the government

does try to trivialize this issue. I mean, Earth Day's been around since

We all see what good that's done.

People like you who put their reputations on their lines, speak the

think their voices need to be heard. And I know we're just a campus newspaper,

but... Okay.

You had me at Earth Day.

So I can interview you?

Two conditions.

Shoot. No tornado lady.

And bring your raincoat.

You take all these?

Mm -hmm.

Put me through school and then some.

That must be incredible, getting that close to such an indomitable force.

But I'm not sure I follow you. What's the wrinkle thing?

There's a low -strength multi -cell storm system coming through just to the

north. That's where I'm headed, so if you want to interview me.

I thought your office, you know, get some shots with you against your photos.

This is too good an opportunity to pass up.

There's a high probability of a funnel formation.

A funnel formation?

Like a twister?

If you want to be a good reporter, you have to go where the action is.

What are you doing?

I guess I'm getting my raincoat.

Okay. Meet me in the hall in five minutes.

Do you even get that?

Nah, it's probably just my mom.

Hi, Dana, it's Mom. Listen, we have a system coming in, so be careful. Stay

inside, please.

You see this guy, right?

He's going to tell me to keep an eye on the weather, blah, blah, blah.

Stay inside.

I'm going to grab some pictures. I'll pick you up when I'm done.

Bye.

I mean, yeah, I should stay inside while she's out there running right into

danger. Aren't you two done yet?

Balcony seems up. Come on.

over global warming has already been lost we simply waited too long to do

something about it now the real battle is surviving how do we slow it enough so

that we can get by with minimal damage you think that some people might call

that alarmist alarmist taking a good look at the ice caps lately sorry no i

haven't yeah well you better get a glimpse soon because we're losing them

that can't be good no it isn't write that in your book

That's big, right?

I'll say.

Oh, we've got to get this one.

Aren't we a little too close?

No, I actually stayed further away than usual.

Now you might be nervous.

No, I'm good.

All right, now just standing around. You have to make yourself useful.

Me? What do you want me to do?

All right, when that funnel cloud starts to form, push that button.

Oh, okay, sure.

What's wrong?

Let's move.

What's happening?

Dissipating. Losing power.

What's that mean?

It means it's not going to form. Not here anyway.

There must be a bigger supercell drawing its energy.

Where? I don't know. I have to check the radar.

High velocity down graft.

This year's off the chart.

It's massive.

Right here.

Oh, my God.

That's really close to Wyattville.

What's in Wyattville?

My daughter.

Wherefore art thou, Romeo?

Deny thy father and refuse thy name.

Or if thou wilt not, be but sworn my love, and I'll no longer be a Capulet.

Romeo, dock thy name.

And for that name, which is no part of thee, take all myself.

Stop answering.

I need you to call it in. Call what in?

Get one on my speed dial and tell them to issue a tornado warning for why it's

well in the surrounding areas.

Don't they have people who do this for them? Yeah, me. Now, call.

I take thee at thy word.

Call me but love, and I'll be new baptized.

Henceforth, I never will be Romeo.

Okay, okay.

People, I just got off the phone with the sheriff's department. We have a

tornado warning in effect.

That means we have to evacuate immediately.

So follow me, send a file to the flashlight.

And stay calm.

Go, go. Come on.

Hurry up, everyone.

Sorry, we're not letting anyone through. We've got some bad storms coming in.

Listen, I need to get through. Not just that, ma 'am. We've got some power lines

down up ahead. You're not hearing me. Ma 'am, I am hearing you, and I'm asking

you to stay put.

I'm not sure you want to do that.

Did you take a bath already?

No

No, that's my daughter.

Dana, are you okay?

Where were you?

Well, maybe I got here as fast as I could.

But it's never soon enough.

This is so embarrassing.

I'm here by myself.

Do you know how that makes me feel?

Get away.

Hello? April.

Oh, thank God.

Sean and I saw the news. We were worried sick.

Oh, we're fine. We're fine. Sean's working right now, but I'll let him know

we spoke.

He'll be relieved.

They showed pictures of a high school, said that a bunch of students were

trapped in the basement or something, and we were wondering if... Yeah, it was

Dana's school.

So she was in there when it happened.

Oh, my.

Must have been horrible for her. And for you, I mean, what if something had... I

can't even think about it.

She's okay, right?

It definitely scared her, but she's a tough kid.

Just like her mom, I guess, huh?

I guess.

Well, I appreciate the call, Molly.

April, wait.

Sean will tell me I'm meddling, but if I leave it up to the two of you, this

nonsense will go on for another ten years.

I really don't think there's anything.

Hear me out, please.

I'm listening.

Why do I have to go?

Because they invited both of us.

This is a family event. Last I checked, you were still a member of the family.

Besides, I can't just leave you here alone.

Why not?

You do it all the time.

Nice. Really nice.

Hey, it might be nice to get out of town, spend a little time together.

Yeah, because that's always a big priority.

Look, you and your brother haven't seen each other in how long?

And all of a sudden, we're rushing off to Seattle.

This isn't some cover for a work thing, is it? No, of course not.

Getting dumped with an aunt and uncle I don't even know would really suck.

Sounds

like

we're going to get a lot of rain.

What did you expect?

Yeah.

Better than snow, right? No.

The beach would be better than Shiloh Hills, Washington.

Do you remember your uncle?

I remember his uniform.

Do you remember him?

Why are we stopping here?

I did have one ulterior motive for accepting this invitation.

I knew it.

If you tell me you're going to give one of your seminars... Relax. You saw what

I packed. Yeah, your laptop.

Yeah, so we could check email.

Okay, fine.

What's up? What's the ulterior motive?

Well, you're graduating next year, and I've been doing a lot of reading up on

college...

And you know Garfield has an excellent drama program. I thought maybe we could

check it out.

Really? Mm -hmm.

Just the two of us.

You said you wanted to go away to school, and I, for one, would sleep a

better if I knew you were near family.

Did you show him my deal report?

Yes, James, I showed them the geoport. Listen, I'm just telling you what they

told me, okay? They want their own independent analysis done before they

off on any further development. I'm not doing it.

I'm not letting some flunky from City Hall tell me how to build my home.

What?

John.

Mr. Laswell.

Hey, Joe.

What do you want?

Just another flunky from City Hall doing my job.

You heard that, did you?

Look, I don't like anyone telling me how to run my show.

I'm not part of the problem here. I'm the solution. I'm bringing in taxpayers.

I'm not here about that.

And what is it?

We got another complaint about Ryan.

Ryan?

Okay.

Got a couple of reliable witnesses say that they saw him flying down Elm Street

last night doing about Mach 2.

Coincidentally, the stop sign down at Ashen Elm was all bent over like it was

hit. So you're making accusations here, Sean. Are we going to have to do this

whole lawyer merry -go -round?

No, we don't have to go there.

But this isn't the first time.

Last night was a stop sign. Next time, what's it going to be?

Now I'm going to let this one go.

But I pull him over and he's so much it smells like mouthwash. I'm pressing

charges.

And I don't care who you throw your money at.

Hi. Hi.

I'm so glad you made it.

Any trouble finding the place? No, no, your directions were perfect.

Dana.

Pleasure to finally meet you. I'm here at Molly. I got that.

Oh.

Hey, Sean.

Welcome.

Thanks for inviting us.

Yeah, well, here you go.

It's good to see you.

Yeah.

Nice to see you.

This is Dana.

Wow.

By the last time I saw you, you were like a little kid.

I was a little kid.

Yeah, I guess so.

Let's get out of the rain. Okay.

Sean, will you get their suitcases?

Yeah, sure.

And now we'll turn to Travis for an important update on the conditions

Weather warnings are in effect for much of Washington State as an unexpectedly

severe cold front rolls in from the wet.

While a warm front approaches here from the east, this nasty little system is

going to sit right on top of us.

Travis Jones.

They seem to be bonding in the kitchen, the two of them.

Oh, that's great.

Oh,

Travis Jones. I love him.

No surprise that they're at Seattle for you.

Rain, rain, and more rain.

It's going to be more than just rain.

What's that?

Oh, this is just an unusual weather front for this part of the country,

all. Oh.

Really?

Well, I'm going to go finish getting lunch ready.

Do you need any help?

No, thanks.

Okay, I'll be down in a minute. Okay.

I was sorry to hear about your school.

That must have been scary.

It was.

Yeah, those things scare the holy hell out of me. They always have.

They scare everybody but Mom.

She loves them.

Everyone's taking cover and she's taking pictures.

Yeah, that's my sister.

So she's still chasing storms, is she?

Oh, yeah.

That's what she was doing the day my school got hit.

Really.

So, you're going to be a dad, huh?

Yeah. Yeah.

That's cool.

Yeah. Yeah. Very exciting.

I'm going to have to cut your Aunt Molly off, though. She's buying so much baby

stuff. I'm going to have to take a second job just to pay for it all.

Do you mind setting the table for me? I've got to grab some stuff out of the

dryer. No, not at all.

Excuse me.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

Lunch is ready.

What are you doing?

Oh, just checking some email.

This storm looks pretty bad, son.

I think you should warn people to stay indoors.

Come on, this is the Pacific Northwest.

I'm serious.

I liked your book.

You read it?

Of course we read it.

What, do you think my only sister publishes a book and we're not going to

it? I just didn't think it was necessarily your thing.

It's quite an accomplishment.

I can't say I understood all the science mumbo -jumbo, but I was proud of you.

Thanks. Some people think my theories are a little... Out there?

On the fringe, we like to say, in the scientific world.

Although I think cutting edge is a better euphemism.

Well, writing and teaching about the weather is a lot better than chasing it.

I mean, that's what you're getting away from, isn't it? There's less time for

that, yeah, but chasing is still integral to my research.

Hey, Dana, is your school closed now?

Yeah. They have to have all these experts in to see if it's safe.

That's just an awful way to end your senior year.

Tell me about it.

That must have been some kind of twister to do that kind of damage.

Are you chasing me?

Can we not do this?

Do what?

I mean, just ask a question.

I mean, you knew it was coming, right? That's your thing.

Just drop it, Sean.

I got to take this.

Hello.

Yeah, what's up?

Yeah, what's going on?

You're kidding me.

What's the address?

Okay, I'll be right there.

April, can I talk to you for a second?

Excuse me.

Look, maybe we should just get out of town. Are you here for something else?

What are you talking about?

Molly invited us. I'm sorry if I thought that was a good idea.

I just got a call.

We've just had a tornado.

Here.

Oh, boy.

Yeah. I thought maybe you were up here tracking one of your systems.

One of my weather systems? Who do you think I am?

Contrary to what you may believe, I don't control the weather.

What happened? Was there a confirmed funnel cloud? I don't know, but a boat

picked up and tossed into a yard a few miles.

Yeah,

I gotta go.

I think she can lose me.

Yeah.

Is everything okay?

Yeah, everything's fine.

We'll be back in a little while.

Hi, Travis Jones, Channel 9 Weather Watch. Oh, yeah, hi. I've seen you on

Sean Saunders, Sheriff's Department.

Wow. Is this something?

Yeah. Have you ever seen anything like it?

Not since I left Oklahoma.

Listen, we're going to be doing a live remote in about two minutes. Could you

give us a statement on air? Yeah, sure. No problem.

Great. We just need a couple seconds to set up. Are you sure you know the drill?

Yeah, sure.

So whereabouts in Oklahoma?

Whiteville. You're kidding.

I went to college about a half hour from there.

Really?

You wouldn't be related to... Yeah.

He just doesn't like to admit it.

Hello, Travis.

April.

What are you doing here? The last I heard, you were still in... Oh, I still

Look, I got work to do.

You want to interview somebody about what happened here?

She's the one to talk to, not me.

Great. Thanks.

Thanks. Sure.

I guess the obvious question is... Oh, if you're visiting my brother.

Fifty seconds, TJ. Stand by.

Thanks.

TJ? Long story.

I saw you had a book out. Congratulations.

Thank you.

I was thinking about giving you a call just to catch up.

Might have been awkward.

Yeah.

Do you mind doing this?

Just a couple questions.

It's pretty cool that your mom has a book out.

Trust me, my mom is anything but cool.

In fact, at home they call her the tornado lady.

Kind of embarrassing.

You want embarrassing?

There was this fast food hot dog place near where I grew up.

And in front they had the hot dog on wheels as part of their, I don't know

gimmick or something.

The weenie mobile, we called it.

Anyway, I'm in 10th grade and the place closes down.

But my father decides to buy the weenie mobile and proceeds to drive me to

school in it every day.

No way.

Oh yeah, that's me, weenie girl.

Do you think Tornado Lady tops that?

No, I wouldn't have gone to school.

I'm scarred for life from it.

This baby's sitting right on my bladder.

I have to get the lady through.

Dr. Saunders, we have unconfirmed reports that a tornado dropped this boat

right in the middle of Shiloh Hills.

It was probably a water spout, which is basically a tornado that occurs over

water. Now, tornadoes are rare in this part of the country. True. Could you

us what kind of storm fronts typically cause tornadoes?

Well, like the one now, it contains very strong thunderstorms, and the cycle

usually begins with a rotating updraft, and this almost never happens in the

Pacific Northwest.

So this wasn't a one -time occurrence, a freak?

I don't think so. Based on my research, I'm afraid it's only the beginning.

Thank you, Dr. Holmes.

Is this tornado an anomaly, or are there more on the way?

Only the days and weeks ahead will tell. For Channel 9 Weather Watch, I'm Travis

Jones.

Okay. Hey.

Hey. You, uh... Got some foam?

Lip.

Did I get it?

All clear.

So I haven't seen you around here before.

I've never been around here before.

Dana, I'm visiting with family.

Ryan, I live here with family.

I'm not feeling very well, sweetie.

I'm sorry, but we have to go.

Finish up, I'll meet you outside.

So that's your aunt.

So you gotta go, huh? Yeah, I kinda gotta go.

Cool. Me too.

But just so you know, I get my fix here every morning before I go to class.

Oh, do you go to Garfield?

Yeah. Yeah, I'm a junior.

You're not thinking about going there, are you? I don't know, maybe.

It's one of the reasons I'm here, I guess.

Right on.

I really gotta go.

So I hope I see you here one morning.

You too.

Bye.

Bye.

I can't believe you're here in Seattle.

Stranger things have happened.

What about your family? Are they up with you? My daughter is.

And your husband?

Not married.

But that was suddenly done. Oh, I didn't want to cry.

Not overtly, anyway.

And you always did have a way of just cutting right to it.

It's nice to know I haven't changed, isn't it?

You haven't.

You still look great.

Thank you.

What about you?

Married?

Divorced. No kids.

Just didn't work out.

Thing hopping from market to market just took its toll on us.

Truly sorry to hear that.

We're heading back, TJ.

We've got to head back before we get to front 11.

Thanks, pleasure meeting you.

Okay, well, I... Well, like I said, I really don't think this is a one -time

thing.

What's that?

I think you and your team should study this front more closely. If it is a

supercell, it could easily kick out more tornadoes.

Okay, well, I'll...

Check it out.

Oh, and just in case you need to return.

So how long were you two together?

Not long.

We went to school together.

School, like college or high school?

College. He was there for a semester. We had some courses together, yada, yada.

You know how it goes.

All right. You don't want to talk about it? We don't have to talk about it. I

didn't say you didn't want to talk about it. To me, yada yada means you don't

want to talk about it.

I did it, okay?

Sean?

Yeah, I see him.

Hey there, little buddy.

How you doing?

I need help. My mom, she's hurt real bad.

Are you hurt?

No. Okay.

What's your name?

Eric. Eric. Okay, Eric. Where's your mom?

Okay, you did the right thing, Aaron.

Okay?

I want you to stay here and don't move a muscle.

Okay?

April, you want to look after him for a minute?

Okay, copy that.

We'll let you know when we get in contact with the family.

Okay, the sounder's out. Copy that.

You all right?

Yeah.

Come on, let's go.

You okay?

Yeah.

Come on, let's go. How do you do that?

Do what?

Just shut it off. I mean, that boy's mother is dead.

It's my job, April.

I've seen this before. Yeah, so have we.

That kid is us 30 years ago, and you're just fine?

No, I'm not just fine.

But what choice do I have? It's not something that we choose, Sean. It

to us, okay?

It's so damn real, I can still smell Mom's perfume or Dad's cigarette smoke

day. I don't have the luxury of shutting it out like you do.

April, April, April. Don't.

Just don't.

You were always fine.

I don't get it. It was just easier to run away.

I didn't run away, April.

I moved on.

And I know you judge me for that, but you should try it.

You're still living in the past.

That's what you're doing out there. That's what you're chasing.

Ghosts.

You got to move on, April.

Easy for you to say. No, it's not easy.

Nothing is easy.

I miss Mom and Dad.

I think about them just as much as you do. I just deal with it differently.

You don't have to deal with the guilt.

You still think that?

You still think that you could have saved them, April? That's crazy. You

have died, too.

If they hadn't told me to take care of you, I could have tried.

So you blame me for that?

No.

You blame me for something that we couldn't control? I was eight. I was

years old! I don't blame you, Sean. Yes, you do!

No, I should have tried to save them, and I didn't, and I could have done

something.

I've had to live with that. But you don't live with it, April.

You chase it.

Every day you get in that van, you are trying to control something that you

can't.

I have to try.

You get that?

You can't bring them back.

Nothing you do will ever bring mom and dad back, April.

Nothing.

I have something for you.

Right here.

Want to talk about it?

Not really.

You know, we come up here and we're supposed to spend time together.

And here she is. She doesn't wait one day.

Not even a few hours before she's off and working.

How well do you know your mother?

Trust me, I know my mother all right.

Really? Then you think about this.

She didn't know hers.

She was 13 when she lost her mother and her father. So you may think things

should be easier for you.

But you need to understand how difficult things were for her.

I can't understand.

I can't understand because she doesn't tell me.

She doesn't tell me anything.

Jeez, Molly. I've said more to you in the last hour than I have to my mother

the last month.

How do you think that makes me feel?

I'm going to bed, Sean.

Good night.

Good night.

Have you seen Dana?

Yeah, she just went down the street to get a coffee.

Oh, okay.

Yeah, really.

It's even smaller than this town and so boring.

I can't wait to get out of there.

I know how you feel.

If it wasn't for Garfield, I would have hung myself by now.

So you like it there?

Yeah, yeah. It's a good time.

In between classes, anyway.

So, uh, you're thinking about going there, huh?

Yeah, I'm kind of looking into it.

My mom's taking me to Garfield this afternoon.

Tell you what.

Why don't you let me show you around campus?

Bet I'm a lot more fun than your mom.

That's not too hard. Contempt the traffic light is more fun than my mom.

Okay, well, I'm part of that side of the team.

Hey, Dana.

Hi, Uncle Sean.

This is Ryan.

Oh, I know Ryan.

We go way back, don't we, Ryan?

That SUV is nice.

Brand new, huh?

Does that mean we get to keep the one with the stop sign wrapped around it?

Don't hassle me, man. I didn't do anything wrong.

Really? Really.

But he's just offering me a ride home.

Which you are declining.

You're done here, Ryan.

Thank you so much.

Dana, it was a pleasure meeting you.

Uncle Sean?

I'm sorry if that was embarrassing.

You're better off staying away from that one.

So you're right about this storm.

April? In here, Molly.

What's that noise?

Molly? What is it? April, what's going on?

Molly?

602, go ahead.

I believe it.

I hate it when I'm right.

That tornado really hit Mount Auburn hard. I'm going to have to go up there

do a flyover, April. I could really use your eyes on this. I'll come get you,

okay? All right, I have to hang up. Call myself when you're close, and I'll give

you the address.

Oh, am I glad to see you in one piece.

That was freaky. You okay?

Yeah, bad.

I've never seen hail like that before.

They've got even bigger problems up in Mount Auburn. The tornado touched down.

I know. I just got off the phone with Travis.

Travis. Long story. He wants me to go do a flyover of the area with him. I

thought we were going to Garfield.

Dana, this is serious business.

Honey, it's too dangerous. During the college, it's going to have to wait.

So we're not going.

This is typical.

Dana.

Look, I've got to go. We've got a mess on our streets. Are you going to be

Yeah, go.

This isn't normal weather. You and Sean see that.

It's always something with you.

You know what?

I get that you're angry with me, that you don't understand why the hell I do

things I do sometimes, but I'm doing the best I can.

Okay? I am doing the best I can. For who?

I know you're disappointed, and we will go to Garfield, but it is not going to

be today.

Travis?

Everything set?

You bet.

Hop in.

Thanks for doing this. Yeah.

Hey, it's Ryan.

Hey.

You okay?

You don't sound so good.

Family.

Yeah. Yeah, I can.

Try and get some footage of the disaster area, then maybe put it down into a

story. Okay, sounds good to me.

You ever been up in one before?

We're still taking that house.

We're too close.

Dana? Dana, honey, you up there?

Dana?

Dana?

I mean, it makes no sense to lose control of the copy.

It's moving this way.

Hey, Mom.

Sean, Dana isn't here.

She crawled out the second -story window.

Why would she do that?

I bet she's with that Ryan Laswell. The way they were talking at the coffee

shop. Yeah, I saw them there this morning. I could barely pry them apart.

Well, can't you do something from your end?

Yeah, okay, don't worry about it. I'll put some boys on it.

I'm glad you came.

Yeah. Well, I had to sneak out.

Has he got you under house arrest now?

No. My mom's a weather freak. She didn't want me going out in the storm.

Seriously? Is she that scared of a little rain?

So where are we going?

Travis, we should do an interview. I need to give these people some sort of

basic tornado survival guide. I mean, there are things they need to know.

Okay, that's a good idea.

Let's get off the tarmac. We can set up over there.

Hey, honey.

Any sound of her yet? I guess that means you haven't found her yet either.

No.

No, I've been trying to reach her, but there's no signal.

I'd rather call her with some good news anyways.

I shouldn't have left her alone.

Hey, honey, this isn't your fault, alright?

Don't worry, we're going to find her.

Okay.

It's been a long time since I've had to play reporter and cameraman.

I'm just going to frame this up.

Would you mind stepping just... Here?

Perfect.

And in three, two, one... Good afternoon, I'm Travis Jones with Channel

Weather Watch, and I'm joined once again by Dr. April Saunders.

10 -4, thanks for the update.

And can only expect it to worsen until the storms dissipate.

Thank you, Dr. Summers.

Stay safe.

I'm Travis Jones for Channel 9 Weather Watch.

You were great.

Now we can feed this back to the station through the link in the van.

Get this on air as soon as possible.

Look over there.

Yeah, it's looking good.

going to Garfield.

Oh, we are. I just want you to see our showcase house.

This is what all the new Laswell estates are going to be like.

It's nice.

Yeah.

But, uh, maybe we should go back.

I hate to sound like my mother, but this weather's been crazy and it looks

pretty bad out.

Dana, relax.

Come inside and dodge this crappy storm.

Okay?

Okay. Okay.

The way that weather's looking, we should get this on the 5 o 'clock.

Yeah. I'm going to send it now.

Sean, is everything okay?

Where are you at now?

At the heliport. Why?

All right.

I didn't want to tell you this, April, but Dana took off.

She took off. What do you mean? Where is she?

She climbed out the second -story window, and we don't know where she

What?

The storm is dangerous, Sean. We need to find her.

Okay, stay calm, all right?

I want you to try to reach her on her cell phone, okay?

We're going to keep looking for her here.

I need you to tell me, April, has she ever done anything like this before?

No, no, never.

All right, well, I'm sure it's nothing to worry about.

Who she's with? Who could she be with?

He's a local kid, a college student. But listen, you've got to trust me on this,

okay? I'm handling it. All right, can you get to me?

Yes, I'll get there as soon as I can.

Everything okay?

What's going on?

Dana's gone missing.

Your daughter? Yeah.

You miss her?

I got off the phone with Sean. I've been looking for her all day.

Oh, April, what can I do? Nothing. I just need to get back and help find her.

Yeah, of course. We'll get you back. Listen, I'm sure she's going to be fine.

Yeah, I just... Travis, could you just take me back now, please?

I mean, I didn't expect to see you here.

What do you mean? I never thought I was ever going to see you again.

Look, there's something...

I can't believe I'm telling you this.

She's your daughter.

Dana, she's your daughter.

Why didn't you tell me?

I wanted to tell you, but then...

I saw you with this other woman.

You didn't even tell me you were pregnant.

Well, you were already seeing somebody else.

And if we had gotten back together because I was pregnant, that wouldn't

worked. How do you know that?

How do you know?

We could have tried.

You know, I can't believe this.

I'm sorry.

You know what? None of that matters right now. The only thing that matters

that we find her.

Let's go.

Wow.

Told you.

This place is beautiful.

Yeah, not a bad little party pad, huh?

Are you kidding?

This is perfect.

Good.

You look cold.

You want to turn on the heat? Yeah, please. I'm breathing.

Of course.

So, once we're all set, why don't I make us a couple of drinks?

Sounds good.

Good.

Vodka okay?

No, thanks.

Come on.

Live a little.

I probably shouldn't.

You know, I think I'm going to leave my mom a message.

Good luck getting a signal up here.

There's no dial tone.

Really? Let's see.

Oh, yeah.

Mine must have gone down in the storm.

You need to chill out.

We have no phones. What if... What if something happens?

Dana, what could happen?

I guess that could happen.

Was that so bad?

That's more like it.

Come here.

Okay.

Here's the guide.

Scroll up and down right here.

And I'll be right back.

Though we can't expect an official report from the weather agency just yet,

devastation we've seen in Mount Auburn is almost certainly due to a massive

Category 4 twister.

That would represent the third touchdown in the greater Seattle area within the

past week, an area that has not had a confirmed twister of that magnitude in

recorded history.

With the current storm cell looming over us, the likelihood of another funnel

cloud forming is almost certain.

If and when you should see a funnel cloud, the best thing you can do is stay

indoors.

Go into a basement or cellar if you have one. Otherwise, stay away from windows

and anything that could break away, causing further damage and is extremely

wind. And these weather changes, are they trackable?

No, I'm afraid not. That's what makes tornadoes so dangerous.

It's impossible to predict exactly where they will test down.

We're looking at tornado warnings from average to the north and south to Maple

Valley, with special concern in the Shiloh Hills and Blue Hills area.

And we can only expect it to worsen until the storm cells dissipate.

Stay safe.

I'm Travis Jones for Channel 9 Weather.

Ryan?

What's up?

They just called a tornado warning for this area. Maybe we should get going

before it gets really bad.

We're probably smarter staying in then.

Hey, think of it this way.

Now, we have an excuse to be late.

We've got hotspots all over the place.

Have you ever seen anything like this in real life?

This is Seattle.

Come on, Bruno, pick up.

Pick up!

Oh, she's still not answering.

Laszlo here.

It's Sheriff Saunders.

Saunders.

What has my son done now?

Police business.

Just wondering if you know where your son is.

No, I don't know where he is. Has he broken the law?

I don't know, but can you think of anywhere he might be? One of your

construction sites or maybe one of your model homes?

He hasn't been allowed near there since the party he broke up. Now, what's this

all about? I can't tell you that, but if you hear from him, I need you to

contact me.

If he gets in touch with me, he'll be the first I tell.

Hey, April.

Did you find her?

No, no, but I just got off the phone with the boy's father. He has no idea

he is either. How do you know she's with him? How does she even know him, Sean?

Well, we saw them hanging out at the coffee shop this morning, and they seem

pretty friendly.

This is a nightmare.

That storm is picking up momentum. They could be in real danger.

Don't worry, April. We're going to find them.

Nothing.

What's wrong with you?

Nothing, okay?

I just don't want to, all right?

Are you afraid to be alone with a boy?

No, but... Stop.

I can't relax.

You know, this ain't Oklahoma, sweetheart. This is a Laswell -built

You got nothing to worry about from a little wind.

I'm sorry. I guess that's just all the imprinting from my mom.

Can I use your bathroom?

No, please.

Please, I need to use your bathroom. Yeah, go.

You okay in there?

What's going on, Dana?

Panic button?

Really, Dana?

I'm just scared, okay?

I just want to go.

Well, the alarm system isn't hooked up to the central station, so it's doing

no good.

I wouldn't be here if you didn't like me.

Do you have any idea how many girls would die to be here? Stop it!

I need to be sure of Saunders.

Everything's going to be okay.

I shouldn't have left her.

What you did this morning was important.

We're going to find it. Where could they be?

Well, who knows? They're kids. They could be anywhere. But we've got units

there right now looking for them.

Still no luck reaching her on her cell phone? No, I keep calling, and either

battery's dead or she's out of service area, or she just has it turned off. It

just keeps going to voicemail. Do you know if her phone has a GPS locator on

No.

Wait a minute.

That just gave me an idea.

That Laswell kid has a brand new SUV.

Yeah. Yeah, and it should have a car theft locating device in it. Doesn't the

car have to be stolen first for that to work? Yes, it does.

Did somebody report it stolen? No. Yes, I did.

And we'll get them to kill the engine as well. We don't want them going

anywhere. Rachel, fill out a stolen vehicle report. Look right away,

Two inches.

Two inches and the whole thing's gone. It's gonna be off. Okay

Oh, my God, Sean, there are confirmed touchdowns all over Garfield County.

Hi, you're reading the data.

Damn it, you.

No luck?

No.

She's right in the eye of the storm.

Apparently come to your senses.

Uh huh.
