A storm system is expected

to hit west of Austin within the next hour.

As supercell conditions continue to develop,

please be advised there is a possibility

of a tornado warning

being issued for much of Edwards County.

Meanwhile, the National Weather Service

in Madison has issued a severe thunderstorm warning

for Edwards, Sutton, and Kimball Counties,

and advised that tornado conditions

are possible and residents are urged to stay indoors.

Footage you may remember

from last May's massive funnel cloud

that touched down outside of Junction.

Keep in mind that the storms we're expecting

over the next 24 hours could be even larger

and more destructive than those of last year.

Right now, there's a thunderstorm watch

in effect for Kimball County.

But the front is fast moving and have...

Um, excuse me, sorry.

Do you mind telling me exactly where we are on here?

You're gonna die today.

Excuse me?

The storm.

Best be getting back on the road

if you don't wanna get stuck out here.

Uh, right. Yes, storm.

You know, one of these things took out

my entire neighborhood down to the foundation.

Like, three-foot piece of rebar.

Six months of surgeries to get it fixed.

Well, thank you.

Make sure that you have fresh batteries

for flashlights and portable radio

and make sure you have an emergency plan in place.

Call Elena.

Hi, it's Elena. Leave a message.

Hey, sis. It's me. I really need to talk to you.

Can you call me back?

Call Bryan.

No. Oh, come on.

No, no, no, no, no.

No tools.

Thanks, Bryan.

Hello?

Hello?

Is anyone home?

Come on.

You can come or not.

Either way, I'm closing this door.

Make up your mind.

This farmhouse was built during the First World War.

It's as sturdy as they get.

Brick, mortar, and oak, no cheap plywood or drywall.

Has issued a tornado warning

for portions of Edwards, Kimball, Sutton Counties.

At this hour, radar indicates one or more tornadoes

already on the ground as part of a large storm complex.

The National Weather Service urges anyone

within the affected area to precautions.

You'll feel better if you breathe.

This is a severe weather alert.

Good thing I happened to be home.

Hey, let's focus on us in here, okay?

Don't worry about what's going on out there.

It's all gonna be fine, I promise.

I'm Jack.

Emma.

Oh, my God.

Hey, breathe. Breathe.

You're not from around here, are you?

Uh-uh. Austin.

It's gonna be okay.

This farmhouse has been in the family a long time, okay?

She's seen her share of storms.

You're gonna be all right.

Hey. Hey. Look at me.

Look at me. Remember what I told you, okay?

You're gonna be fine.

I promise.

Is it over?

Better go top and have a look.

Wait, are you sure that's a good idea?

I won't be long.

Promise.

You can come on out.

Got lucky.

Looks like it passed us a few miles south.

Suppose, uh, you'll be wanting to get on your way?

Um, yeah.

Uh, actually, do you have a landline that I could use?

I got a flat tire and I really need to call AAA.

Out here in this weather,

hell, probably waiting hours.

Dammit.

You know, uh...

I could fix that tire for you if you want.

I got a jack and some tools in the garage.

- Really? - Sure.

Thank you.

Say, uh...

you're in a hurry?

- Why? - Well, I was gonna put on

a pot of coffee before the storm hit.

You wanna join me?

Well, um...

I wouldn't mind cleaning up actually.

Follow me.

Weather information

from the Central Texas region

and the best forecasting in the business.

The storm watch team has your back.

Welcome back to our ongoing storm watch coverage.

I'm meteorologist Dr. Bill with the storm watch team...

Everything okay up there?

Yeah. Yeah.

Just got so many precious things up there,

I get nervous.

How's it looking?

Hmm, not great.

Well, like they say,

everything's bigger in Texas.

The unseasonably warm water in the gulf

has been creating a significant onshore float,

high waves along the coast and a moisture flow

working its way right up to the middle of the state.

The intense rain and high winds

have caused power outages

in many of the rural areas.

Didn't know how you take it,

so I just put a little cream and sugar in it.

Oh, no. That's great. Thank you.

Hey, um, thank you again.

I mean, I don't know how or if I would've held

out back there, so...

Happy to help. Yeah.

Must've been really scared out there on that road.

So you-you live here alone?

Uh-hmm. And my, uh, 16-year-old daughter Kylie.

Yeah.

She's in Florida right now,

staying with the ex-mother-in-law

over spring break.

So you're divorced?

I'm sorry. That was really rude.

I just... when I get stressed,

my mouth just starts moving way faster than my brain.

I...

It's okay. I get it.

Um, but to answer your question,

my wife passed a year ago in May.

I'm so sorry.

Thank you.

Yeah.

This place, house, orchard...

it's all her.

I know I should get it back up and running

but... just haven't got around to it yet.

So you two, you ran it all yourselves?

Me? Hell, no.

I can't even keep a house plant alive.

No, we, uh, we had a few hired hands.

I let them go while I figured out what to do.

Well, uh, I guess I better go have a look at that car, huh?

Oh, okay. Sure.

I got it.

Oh, it's okay. You can... you can stay here.

Oh. I should grab my phone in case my sister

- tries to call me. - No.

Sorry?

Well, it's just that I don't want you to have go

dodge any flying cows...

- you know, because the movie. - The movie.

- Yeah. All right. - Yeah.

You know, you remind me a lot of her.

My wife.

Protect yourself and your loved ones.

If you can safely continue monitoring our broadcast

or our radio broadcast,

please stay abreast of this fast-developing

automated weather information

is also available from

let's move over here to the storm watch board

and take a look at the current satellite imagery.

You can see

south wind

indicating lightning and thunderstorm activity.

Let's move over to the radar image

have access to a number of places to park your car.

You may wanna think about getting...

Look outside and if it looks calm,

know that it may change

you are not out of the woods yet.

Our storm watch team

several homes in the middle of Austin

You can see how the metal roof of this mall

was just stripped right off and was 50 yards away.

Luckily

Jeff, can you pan to the right

and show us where the windows were broken?

That's it. Oh, the entire frame...

Everything all right?

Yeah, sorry.

I-I thought I was hearing noises and I just then checking on it

and got, um, turned around up here, it's...

Sorry.

Right this way.

These old houses,

they can feel a little creepy.

Kylie was convinced that it was haunted.

Oh, um, did you grab my phone?

I'm such an idiot. I got a little bit flustered

when I tripped your car alarm.

Um, no big deal. I can just grab it.

Well, wind's, uh, actually picking up.

Um, why don't you just make yourself at home

and I'll go get it for you.

Don't expect much of a signal though, okay?

Okay. Thank you.

Smaller county

This is really good.

I haven't eaten anything since breakfast.

It was my wife's recipe.

Cooking like this, how could I say no?

You know, I can't imagine how hard

that must have been on you and your daughter.

I'd say the worst part was the suddenness.

Never having a chance to say goodbye.

Can I ask what happened?

It was just a car accident.

It was over quickly.

No pain, they said.

It's been really hard on Kylie, but...

she's a trooper.

Just like her mother.

Listen to me blathering,

it's just...

I don't get a lot of people to talk to.

Right.

Besides your daughter.

Right.

Um... these old houses.

They say they don't make 'em like they used to.

Well, I say there's probably a reason for that.

Right.

Ready for seconds?

No, I couldn't.

Um, besides, I don't feel like

having to run an extra five miles tomorrow.

Why do you have to do that?

It's just something that my-my boyfriend Bryan would say

anytime I splurged and be like,

"That's a five-miler."

Sounds like a real charmer.

Yeah, that's one word for him.

So, uh...

how long you two been together?

Um, we were together for three years.

Were?

Like you said, charmer.

Better late than never, I suppose.

What do you mean?

You know what I think?

I think you were with him because it was safe.

I bet deep down, you knew he wasn't right for you.

You just weren't ready to admit it to yourself.

Am I right?

Actually, it's...

Would you excuse me?

- I'll just be a sec. - Yeah, sure.

Wind's really did a number on the roof.

I have to patch it up in the morning.

All done?

Stuffed. Thank you.

Why don't you, uh, go to the living room

and see if there's an update on the weather.

Okay. Um, but are you sure

you don't want any help with the dishes?

My wife certainly didn't keep me around for my cooking.

Okay. Well, thank you.

Yeah.

Appears to be a cell

forming close to the ground.

It's difficult to see what's going on,

if there's definitely

a possibility of this forming into a strong funnel cloud.

We will continue to monitor this and other spots

where we are concerned about additional tornadoes forming.

As you know, Central and Southern Texas

is no stranger to extreme weather.

From earthquakes, tornadoes, and floods to ice storms.

So what can you do to prepare?

First, it's important to stay informed.

Watch the news, listen to the radio,

follow your local emergency

on social media by following

Got anything?

Weather?

Oh, um... uh-uh.

Between hurricanes and tornadoes.

Hurricanes and tornadoes are both types

of severe weather, but they are very different

in terms of their size, strength,

and how they form.

Hurricanes occur fairly often in late summer...

I never could bring myself to take them down.

I guess it seems like having them up...

somehow makes me feel less far away.

It's silly, isn't it?

No.

No, not really.

It's ironic.

So many of us are willing to believe

the most incredible fairy tales

just because somebody at some point

labeled them a "religion."

Is it any crazier to think that...

having these pictures of my wife up,

in some small way keeps her spirit alive?

I take it you're not very religious.

I refuse to believe any benevolent God

would let her die the way she did.

My mom used to call me a Easter

and Christmas Lutheran.

Oh, in other words, you go to church

'cause you think you should.

Not 'cause it's important to you?

Something like that.

Seems like a waste of time.

- Towers must be down. - Yeah.

Last time a storm like this came through,

phones were out for a week.

The tornado caused

extensive damage to homes...

You know what? Maybe even if I leave now,

I can get ahead of it.

I'd feel responsible if anything happened to you.

Oh. You know, my sister's probably worried sick.

She doesn't know you're here?

Uh, no. She knows I'm on the road.

But not here.

No, she does.

When?

- When? - Did you tell her?

You haven't had your phone this whole time.

I'd really like my keys now.

I'm just curious.

Keys?

Of course.

Well, thank you again for...

For everything.

The local weather authority

has issued a tornado warning

for Edwards, Kimball, and Sutton Counties

a large and pre-tornado

five miles northeast of Rocksprings.

Again

Doppler radar indicated a large

and pre-tornado five miles northeast of Rocksprings.

So if you are near or in Roosevelt,

Telegraph, or Junction,

please stick to your basement or shelter and stay put.

Jack!

Jack!

Jack!

Inside! Hurry!

Come on!

It just came over the radio.

An F4 not five miles from here.

That gives us three, maybe five minutes max.

You made the right decision.

Oh, come on!

What's wrong?

Old hinges.

I've never seen anything like it.

Jack?

Come on, you son of a...

- Jack! - Come on! Let's go!

Jack?

Behind the shelf!

Grab a lantern.

Hold on!

It will only be a minute.

- Jack? - Hold on!

- Jack! - One more second.

I told you you'd be okay.

Come on.

Jack?

Open the door.

Jack, what-what are you waiting for? Open the door.

You're gonna leave.

What?

Jack, open the door.

Generator must be out.

Wind gusts up to 150 knots,

severe thunderstorm warnings continue into the evening hours

with a strong chance of tornados in the Edwards County area.

The National Weather...

Generator's motor probably just stalled.

One of the many joys of living

"off-the-grid adjacent".

I have to give the real estate agent credit for that one.

My wife and I used to joke that the only people who wanna

live out here... are either misanthropes

or in hiding.

Which one are you?

Former city dwellers

looking for inexpensive real estate.

Kylie, she hates it, of course.

But... thanks to Zoom,

her social life doesn't seem to suffer much.

Right.

It's funny,

the more connected we are...

the less attached we are.

It's gotten even lonelier since the workers quit.

I thought you said you let them go.

- Did I? - Yeah.

You said you let them go

while you were figuring things out.

Well, it was mutual.

That's all.

You know what I used to do for Kylie whenever she'd get scared?

Distraction.

Come on. Dance with me, Emma.

Come on.

- Jack, I... - Come on, dance with me.

- Come on. - I really should go. I...

Come on. It's perfectly natural to be scared.

- Just come on, dance with me. - Jack.

Emma, dance with me.

No.

I'll be honest, I really don't know how I feel about you

going out there right now, not with everything that's going on.

Okay. Uh, look, I really appreciate everything

you've done, I do, but I have to go.

All right? My sister, she's gonna be worried sick.

So I need to call her.

It's just the storms aren't over.

It's too dangerous.

I'm gonna take my chances.

Fine.

You... will you do me one favor before you go?

I'm gonna go restart the generator.

Can you just let me know if the power comes back on?

It'll only be a moment.

Sure.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Anything?

Come on. Come on. Come on. Come on. Come on.

Emma.

You're awake.

What happened? I...

- Shh. - I can't move.

Try not to exert yourself.

Don't wanna overdo it.

Why can't I move, Jack?

To keep you from trying to hurt yourself again.

And the gun?

Protection.

Here. Let's get this cleaned up.

- Something wrong? - It hurts.

Of course it does, silly.

You got yourself a nasty bruise.

But I can't bandage it up until it's clean.

Please, I really just wanna go.

Yeah.

Can you please untie me?

I will, okay?

Once I'm sure you're not gonna do anything rash.

It's lucky I found you when I did.

Another storm system came through

when you were out.

Wait. I have to call my sister.

Uh, where is my phone?

It's over there.

I figured you won't be needing it.

Don't worry.

I told her where you were.

- You did? - The funniest thing.

I happened to be writing her a text

when she called.

Why do you keeping looking over there?

I just...

is that really necessary?

Like I said, "off-the-grid adjacent".

No. I know that, but it just feels like...

A man has a right to protect his home,

doesn't he, his daughter?

I thought you said it was just us.

I'm talking figuratively.

Why are you looking at me like I'm crazy?

Uh, sorry, I wasn't...

You wanna know what I think is crazy,

really crazy?

Taking a road trip during a tornado.

Staying with someone who hurts you...

and I'm not just talking about your heart.

I saw them bruises on your arm.

I'm guessing they're not from a loving embrace?

Meanwhile, I haven't done anything

but try to help you.

I swear, I'll never understand you women.

You're right.

I guess I would just feel better if you untied me.

I will.

Once I know you won't hurt yourself.

Please.

You know, my sister, she's gonna call the police.

And then they're gonna track my phone.

They're gonna know I'm here.

And then they're gonna come here and...

I think the police have more important things

to worry about tonight, don't you?

Now, where were we?

There we go. There we go.

All better.

So you'll untie me now?

How do I know you won't try and leave?

I won't. I...

'Cause you won't get very far,

not with the other storms coming through.

No, you're... you're much better off

staying right where you are.

- Okay? - Right.

Yeah.

I know you just wanna protect me.

- That's all. - Yeah.

Can I get you anything, water, root beer?

Actually, there is one thing.

Can I have some privacy?

Oh, of course.

Be right outside.

Didn't fall in, did ya?

Seriously, everything all right in there?

Emma, open the door.

Open the door, Emma. I'm not kidding.

Emma, open the door. I'm serious.

Emma, open the damn door!

Emma?

You're only gonna get yourself killed!

Emma?

I'm just trying to help you, Emma.

Why can't you see that?

Emma?

Emma?

Emma?

No. Come on.

No.

Okay. Come on.

Come on. Come on. Come on. Come on.

Edwards County Sheriff's Department.

Due to an unusually high call volume,

no officers are available to take your call.

Please enter a callback number

and we will have someone return your call

as quickly...

Emma?

That was fast.

What was fast?

Elena?

Oh, thank God. Okay, listen to me.

Listen to me, I'm-I'm stuck at this guy's house.

He won't let me leave. He's crazy.

Whoa, whoa, whoa. Wait, wait. Slow down. What?

I... my car broke down and then the storm was coming.

I needed somewhere to stay.

He has a gun.

Are you safe?

I-I don't know. I don't know.

I, um...

I don't know. I don't know. I don't know.

I think I'm somewhere off of Highway 55.

Emma?

What the hell?

- Emma? - I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

I-I-I don't know, okay?

I'm in some sort of storage shed.

It's the only place I could find any signal.

Elena?

Elena?

Oh, no. No, no, no, no, no. No network, no.

Come on. Come on. Come on. No.

The generator.

Emma!

Emma!

You think you're safer out here, Emma?

Come on, Emma, face it.

You need me.

Emma?

Emma!

Where the hell are you?

Emma!

Come on. Come on.

You're hurting me.

You have to trust me when I tell you

I'm doing this for your own safety, Emma.

Is that for my safety, too?

You dropped it. Not me.

You're welcome by the way.

What the hell is your problem?

Quiet.

- I just don't understand... - I said quiet.

Multiple funnel clouds

are reported 170 miles

due west of the metropolitan Austin area

and moving quickly in a southeasterly direction.

Wind gusts reported up to 200...

Sounds like it's moving away.

Hooray.

If this is gonna work,

you and I... we're gonna have to have

a serious conversation about trust.

Trust?

Yes, trust.

Meaning?

Trusting me when I tell you

I have no desire to harm you.

You have a funny way of showing that.

Excuse me?

I don't know.

Tying me up,

chasing me around your farm with a gun?

You're right.

I should have just left you out there.

See how long you'd last with a twister coming through.

Two hundred and twenty miles an hour.

Two hundred and twenty.

Do you have any idea what kind of damage

wind like that can cause?

Maybe next time you pull a little stunt like this,

I'll let you find out.

Why do you care what happens to me?

Because, unlike Bryan,

I actually appreciate you.

Appreciate me?

You know what I think?

I think that you've been treated like crap

for so long,

you've forgotten what it's like

to be with someone who actually cares.

Look... I don't know

what kind of sick game you're playing,

- but I just... - Is that what you think of me?

Well, it just seems like there's still

a whole lot of secrets around here.

- Like what? - Like, what's in the attic?

What are you talking about?

I saw a light in the window.

Is there someone up there?

Look...

it's been a long day.

You're not being rational, okay?

If I was sick, would I really go out

into the middle of a storm, risking my own life to save you?

Yeah.

Your daughter would be so proud.

I didn't mean to do that.

Why would you make me do that?

Why?

Emma.

- Emma... - Please don't touch me.

Look, I know you might not appreciate me

very much right now,

but you have to trust me when I tell you

I know a few things that you don't.

Like whenever you were about to leave.

A storm system blew through

and took out a neighborhood not five miles from here.

Dozens of people lost their lives,

Emma, including an entire family.

Not to mention a hundred more that lost their homes.

Now, I know you don't believe it,

but you're lucky.

I mean, you've got a place to go,

a strong shelter,

and someone to look after you.

And I'm grateful.

Radio says another storm system's coming through.

I really don't think it's a good idea

for you to be on the roads until morning.

Jack.

And who knows, by then,

maybe you...

you decide to stay longer?

Jack.

Look, I-I know how it sounds,

but I mean, think about it.

You need someone.

I need someone.

And here we are.

It's perfect.

Okay, do you really think

- that this is perfect? - I told you.

- It's for your own protection. - For my protection.

I know, but think about Kylie.

How are you gonna explain me to her

when she gets home from her grandma's?

Kylie's gonna love you.

She will. And you're gonna like her, too.

I promise.

I can't just stay here

and pretend to be part of your family.

Pretend?

We're not gonna pretend.

Okay. Okay.

I-I-I realize that you think that you want this,

but you don't know me.

- I do. - No. You think you do.

This... this could work.

Let me go.

This is for your own protection.

I will be fine.

That's, uh...

that's what my wife said.

Uh, could you...

you just give me a minute.

Um, I just got to...

I just... I just need a minute.

Um, just don't go anywhere.

Wait, what?

Uh, just a minute, that's all.

Jack?

Jack, where are you going?

Jack, don't leave me down here.

Ungrateful bitch.

Sheriff's Department. Anyone home?

This is the Sheriff's Department, open up!

Hi, Officer.

How can I help you?

Deputy, actually.

Schultz. Easy mistake.

Of course. Deputy.

I'm sorry to disturb you so late, Mister...

Hendricks.

- Jack. - Mr. Hendricks.

It's all right. Not like I could sleep, anyway.

You know, not with all those sirens going off.

Yeah. Sure has been a wild night.

Anyways, I'm here because we got a call

about a woman who disappeared out this way tonight.

All the way out here, huh?

Yeah. Called her sister.

Something about there being danger,

some kind of man after her?

Turns out, she made an emergency call

which pinged on a cell tower somewhere in the vicinity.

What, uh... what kind of danger, exactly?

I'm afraid I can't disclose that.

Right.

Anything unusual happened around here tonight?

Other than tornado warnings?

There aren't too many homes that are serviced

by that cell tower.

Do you have a wife, Mr. Hendricks?

I do.

And a daughter, uh, Kayla?

Kylie.

Kylie. That's right.

I was out here last summer.

We were collecting for the Sheriff's fund.

Oh, right. The Sheriff's fund.

They wouldn't happen to be here now,

maybe I could talk to them?

My wife, uh, she passed.

Car accident.

Nearby?

Uh, not too far, no.

I don't recall there being any fatal wrecks

in the area recently.

And Kylie, well, uh, she's staying

with her grandmother over spring break.

Anyway, we got a report

that the car the missing woman was driving

was a, uh, silver 2017 SUV.

Don't suppose that

rings any bells?

Nothing out here but my pickup.

And you wouldn't mind if I took a look around?

Oh, no. Go right ahead.

I'll even help you.

It's pretty dark out.

That's quite all right.

I got my own flashlight.

Of course.

Well, uh...

you can get to it, and if you need anything,

just come get me.

I'll be right in here.

- Thanks. - No problem.

On Highway 377, near the Kimball County Airport,

where our storm watch field team is traveling right now.

The wind intensity is...

Anything, Deputy?

Got some fresh tire tracks.

Looks like an SUV.

Well, it's a farm. Lots of vehicles.

Look, you said it was just your pickup.

Hmm. Right.

Well, must have been my... my daughter's car.

She's got a 4Runner.

And where is that car now?

My mother-in-law's house.

Which would be?

Florida.

Your daughter drove to Florida?

Yeah, she hates flying.

Kids, right?

Do you mind giving me her grandmother's name

and phone number so I can follow up?

Sure.

I'm just gonna take a look around before I go,

if that's okay with you?

Of course.

Require multiple days to repair.

If you're watching this now, this is dangerous, folks.

You need to stay inside. You could risk your life.

Hello!

I'm down here!

Hello!

- Hello! - Hello?

Is someone down there?

Hello?

Is there someone down here?

Yes! I'm here!

I am right down, down here!

Ma'am?

- Hello? - I'm right here, ma'am!

I know tonight hasn't gone perfectly.

Okay? And-and-and part of that, that's my fault.

So, what I'm thinking,

we need is to start over.

Start fresh.

Yeah?

Where are my manners?

Here.

You need fluids.

Come on.

Have some more.

So, I'm thinking...

once these storms pass and make it through the night,

I'll make us a nice big breakfast.

You're in luck because I just so happen

to be a world-class omelet guru.

And we'll just relax,

start thinking of our new life together.

Obviously, we both need to be there

when we tell Kylie.

Uh, she's...

she's a great girl, really.

She just...

She's-she's been through a lot this year.

You know, we just gotta be careful.

She's still fragile.

You understand, right?

Oh, and, uh, you're a teacher, right?

I wasn't... I wasn't snooping.

I just... I saw textbooks

on the backseat of your car and so I assumed.

Um, but that works out too

because I'm already homeschooling Kylie,

and so, you can help with that.

You know, two birds, one stone.

I just have one request.

Oh, yeah, of course.

Anything.

It's kind of a big one.

But it's also kind of a dealbreaker.

I'm all ears.

Well...

if we're gonna be a family...

I can't be tied up anymore.

I know.

- It's awkward. - Yeah.

However,

in my defense...

you have been sending me mixed signals tonight.

And I know you got that boyfriend, Bryan.

Ex-boyfriend.

Right.

Ex.

Sorry.

I get worked up sometimes.

Okay, look.

I know it hurts. Okay?

We all lose people,

we...

we...

Emma?

Wait.

- Wait, something is not right. - Yeah.

Must be kicking in.

It's been a long day.

I know I certainly can use a rest.

Just something to help you sleep.

Don't worry. It's only one dose.

Just sleep on what I said, okay?

You guys always do this to me.

- Yes. Yes. - Okay. Really?

Your father is a...

Why can't I just open it up?

Okay.

- You can open it. - Okay. Yeah.

Okay. Open your last present, sweetheart.

Hey, I'm 15.

You guys can't call me sweetheart anymore. It's weird.

Dad, I'm never gonna take you out of my

Oh, finally!

I love that picture of you.

Mom.

Open your last present, baby.

Mom.

- Dad, come on. - Good one.

Okay, Dad.

I will let you keep filming,

but I swear if this ends up on Facebook

like that picture of me at three years old

sitting on the toilet, I will kill you.

Aw.

Wait, another present?

Kylie.

Oh, my gosh. Stop!

It's also gonna be on TikTok.

I got, like, eight followers there, so it's good.

Okay.

Okay.

Wait, no way.

Okay, okay

- Okay, open it, open it. - Okay. Yeah.

Can I just open the present, please?

Come on.

Now, this could be a wrong time

but if you want,

we could exchange it for

It's definitely a great color.

Okay. It's not bad.

I'm glad you like it.

So, you think that's gonna fit?

Um, yeah.

Okay, honey.

That's because it's really on fleek.

Dad, promise me

you won't ever say that again, like, ever.

Come on, girl. Chill out. We're good.

Okay

Honey coming on and

Uh, stop.

Uh, Dad.

Stop. Dad!

Okay.

I can just... I can just wear it with jeans,

it's actually pretty great.

Thanks, Mom and Dad.

You're so cute.

Okay, please.

Dad, ridiculous.

Thank you. I'm here all week.

Oh, what you get?

- What you get? - Yes, I love it.

Honey.

You in here?

Hello?

Emma? You in here?

Emma?

Emma?

Where are you going, Emma?

No!

No, no, no, no!

Open the door, Emma!

Come on, enough fussing around! Open the damn door!

Open the damn door!

All right. Fine.

You wanna stay up there?

Stay up there.

You can stay up there as long as you like.

Now, you're not getting out

till the next storm blows us

and the house away!

Have fun, Emma!

Kylie?

Groceries.

Oh, thanks.

Say, uh, can I use your telephone?

It's just... I don't have a signal out here

and I think they gave me the wrong address

for my next delivery.

- Um... - Sure.

The phone is in the kitchen.

Thanks.

I won't be long. I promise.

I'm not gonna hurt you.

Are you the police?

No. Sorry.

Who are you then?

Just a stranger that needed shelter

from the storm and came to the wrong house.

How'd you know my name?

He told me.

He said you were visiting your grandmother's.

Of course he did.

How long have you been up here?

A few months.

Uh, I lost track.

And you've been alone this whole time?

He comes up and talks sometimes.

We play games.

Usually Monopoly.

Although I think he lets me win.

And no one's come looking for you?

Who would notice?

When my dad left,

it was just me and my mom.

I was homeschooled and she was here

working on the farm.

Jack keeps talking about it, like...

that my mom needed someone like him, that...

this was all for my protection

until I understand.

Uh, hey.

Are you hurt?

Uh-hmm. Can I...

can I take a look?

All right.

He did this?

It's my fault.

No, Kylie.

I made him do it.

Hey.

He is a monster, okay?

He's an abusive monster.

I'm not gonna let him do this to you anymore.

I'm gonna get us out of here.

You shouldn't do that.

Do what?

Make promises you can't keep.

My mom did that a lot.

You said your dad left?

What happened to your mom?

Mom!

See what she made me do?

Do you?

- Mom, what's going on? - Kylie,

it's not what it looks like.

You gotta listen to me, okay?

I need you to run.

She's not going anywhere, okay?

Let her go!

Kylie, we're gonna be happy.

The three of us.

Don't listen to him. Just go, please.

- I don't wanna leave you. - Kylie, please.

- Kylie, sweetheart. I... - No!

Don't you touch my daughter!

- Kylie! - Run!

Kylie, honey!

Come back!

Kylie!

Kylie, honey!

I'm not gonna hurt you.

We're gonna have a good time, you and me.

Come on out, you'll see.

Kylie, come on! Quit playing around.

Come on out!

The yellow bands indicating

more intense rainfall

along the center of the system.

What you don't see are the rotational air movements

that can cause

Okay.

Uh, I'm being told that we have eyewitness reports

of a new funnel cloud touching down now.

Hang on while we find out exactly where this is occurring.

Okay.

So what's your story?

What? What do you mean?

Did... you said you were traveling.

Do you have a family? A husband?

Do you really wanna be distracting the woman

holding the large hammer about to take a swing

at your wrist?

Maybe I'm trying to distract myself from the woman

with the large hammer trying to take a swing at my wrist.

I have a sister in Sonora

and I had a boyfriend.

We broke up recently.

- I'm sorry to hear that. - Don't be.

It may be the only good thing that's happened to me this week.

Okay. Just don't look, all right?

Did you get it?

Not yet. Okay.

Anyway, I was on my way to my sister's

when I got stuck in the storm.

You know, I probably should have just waited the storm out.

But I just had to get out of there.

Okay.

I'm scared.

I know.

Me, too.

All right.

Okay.

Come on. Come on.

It's not gonna work, is it?

No, it has to.

Okay.

Listen to me.

If there's a storm...

What? No. Kylie. No, no.

If there's a really big one...

you have to get out of here.

Just don't even think like that, okay?

You're coming with me.

I'm not giving up.

Okay.

We already tried that.

I'm not giving up, okay?

All right. Ready? One, two, three.

Come on!

What are we supposed to do?

It's too high.

How long until the tornado gets here?

Minutes.

- All right. - He's gonna kill us.

No. I'm gonna figure something.

Tell me, how exactly are you planning

on getting down from here?

We're three stories up.

Come on. Come on.

Kylie, let's go! Come on!

You wouldn't be trying the window in there now,

would you?

All right.

You wanna go outside in the storm?

Why not?

Let's go outside!

Emma!

Kylie!

Come on! Come on!

We need to get back to safety!

Let's get back in the shelter!

I know you're upset

but we have our daughter to think about!

Emma!

Kylie!

Our daughter is all I have left in this world, Emma!

And you turned her against me!

A father can only take so much!

You should know that, Emma!

Come out!

Before someone gets seriously hurt!

Emma!

Come on! Come on!

Go! Go, go, go!

Come on!

Go, go, go, go!

Come on! Let's go!

Emma!

Go, go, go!

Behind the shelf! Go!

Emma!

Let me in!

Please! Emma!

Let me in!

Hold on and don't let go.

I can't

Hold on!

Hey, hey, it's gonna be okay.

Do you think... Jack?

Um, yeah, and when we came out,

he was already... He was already gone.

You didn't... you didn't happen to find his body, did you?

No. But that's not surprising

after a storm of that magnitude.

We did find his identification inside the house, though.

Jack Trainor.

And his phone was full of pictures of the family.

Looks like he'd been watching them for some time.

Apparently, he used to deliver groceries

from the local store.

I'm just glad Kylie made it.

That's thanks to you.

We're trying to track down her nearest relatives now.

Okay. That's great.

Um...

if it's okay,

can I stay with you for now?

Yeah. Of course.

Oh, my sister. I... did...

Oh, yeah. We've already called her.

She said she's on her way.

Thank you.

I think we've located Deputy Schultz's body.

If you'll excuse me.

So...

have you ever been to Austin?

It's okay. You're gonna love it.
