All language subtitles for Tornado Valley (2009).1080p

Is this the Weather Service?

Whoa, cool!

You know, frogs can tell
when there's danger.

That's silly. Who told you that?

Nora.

- Got him!
- Big deal. He let ya.

I want him. I wanna see.

You know, he kind of looks
like daddy in the morning.

No, he doesn't.

We interrupt this program

to provide you with the
following weather warning

from the National
Weather Service.

Extreme instability combined
with strong wind shear

has produced tornadic activity
in Cottonwood County,

north of Windom.

Initial reports from
locals in the area

have spotted funnel clouds
forming across the county from...

Oh, no.

To the southeast
as far as Bergen.

We are being told these funnels

have been touching down
with little or no warning.

Ellie!

Liz!

Significant property damage

has been reported
throughout the county.

We will continue to
pass along updates...

Girls!

Weather Service reminds
everyone to take immediate action.

Stay indoors, close to the
center of your house.

You know, all you have
to do is kiss a frog

to turn him into a prince!

No, that's gross!

Seems like there's
a storm coming.

We'd better head home.

Okay. But I'm not
kissing the frog.

You don't have to kiss the frog.

Come on.

Liz!

Ellie!

The creek. They'll
be at the creek.

Girls!

Come on!

Mrs. Beasley!

- I forgot Mrs. Beasley!
- No.

- I have to go get her!
- Don't be crazy, Ellie.

If the storm doesn't
kill us, mom will.

Come on, let's go.

No, I'm not going without her!

I'll go back. I'm faster.

You get to mom. Go.

Liz! Liz!

- Hey.
- I forgot Mrs. Beasley.

- What?
- Liz is going to bring her.

Everything is gonna
be alright, Ellie.

You run to the house
as fast as you can.

I'll get Liz and
Mrs. Beasley. Go.

Run as fast as you can!

Ah...

Where is your mother and Ellie?

Colleen!

Ellie!

Colleen! Ellie!

Colleen!

Watch out, Lizzie.

Ellie!

Sweetie, it's all over.
You're gonna be okay.

It's safe now. Liz...
Liz and I are here.

It's all over, sweetie.
Come on, baby.

Come on, come on.

Ellie,

it's gonna be alright.

Come on, come on.

Ellie.

It's okay. It's okay. Come here.

Oh, it's okay.

Take care of her.

Colleen!

Colleen!

Colleen!

A beautiful fall day in the area

and we can expect more
of the same tomorrow.

Highs reaching 72,

then dropping down into
the low 60s overnight.

We can expect
thunderstorms, however,

in the western regions
by tomorrow evening.

And if you are in the area
and you want to find out more

about what's
happening in weather,

you can stop by the
metrological symposium

at the University of Minnesota.

They have a distinguished
list of speakers lined up

and I will be hosting the event.

And now for your latest
in news, Adam Mitchem.

I'm Liz McAdams. Good night.

And we're out.

Okay, great. Thanks, guys.

Hey, sweetie, you all packed?

Well, then unpack
and pack again.

Time always goes by
quicker when you're busy.

And don't forget
your toothbrush.

Okay, love you.
See you soon. Bye.

Becky?

Yeah. We're headed
up to the farm.

She's eight?

Nine, going on 16.

Yeah, I know what that's like.

Thanks for plugging
the symposium.

It's good PR for the station.

I know you didn't
want to host it,

but not every station has
a PhD doing the forecast.

Anything to raise
the profile, sir.

Have a safe trip.

Thanks.

- Liz.
- Doug.

What's the word on
Hurricane Matilda?

I don't know. What's the word?

You're the meteorologist.

You're the news anchor.

Hurricanes are
news, aren't they?

Looking forward to
that big symposium?

No, I'm not.

I thought you'd
be excited to go,

use those smarts of yours again.

Yeah, I left that world
behind a long time ago.

The past has a way of
catching up to you.

Don't fight it.

Well, connecting it now, guys.

This antenna took the
brunt of the storm.

Everything is operational.
This design is the one.

We're gonna have to retrofit
some of those older models

in New Mexico and Louisiana.

All the data is solid.

It's time to connect
her to the grid.

Next stage of flooding
comes through,

we can install the
final antenna,

get the system
fully operational.

Okay. Get your butts
back here, boys,

so we can start assessing
Matilda's data.

We're almost there.

If this data measures up,
we're in the homestretch.

She's gonna be real
proud of you, Matt.

Yeah.

Let's head back.

And Tony sat with Lisa at lunch,

which really upset Rebecca.

She was sure that Tony
had a thing for her.

But Rebecca's mom said that
everything happens for a reason.

What do you think?

I think it's a pretty
general statement.

And if you're just
gonna blindly accept

that everything
happens for a reason,

then you never really get to
the bottom of what's going on.

Um, yeah, exactly.

And besides, Tony smells weird.

Hey, be nice.

It's true.

The National Weather Service

exists to protect
life and property

in the face of adverse
weather patterns.

There are nine national centers
all across the country.

We've invited you here today

to introduce the future of
storm prediction technology

pioneered by the renowned
climatologist Dr. Liz McAdams,

who adapted phased
array radar technology

into a precise instrument

for measuring
atmospheric conditions.

We'll be able to
evacuate specific areas

that will be hit by tornadoes
and other severe weather

before it has a chance to form,

effectively eliminating
widespread panic,

saving lives

and saving literally billions
of dollars in economic loss.

And now I'd like to take you
into the heart of our operation.

So, if you'll follow me.

Hey, Nora.

Hey, Liz.

Who we got there?

Where?

I came alone.

Yeah, real funny, mom.

Hey, Bug, you up for a
nature walk tomorrow?

Yeah. And can we do
some crafts again, too?

Of course.

It's great seeing you, Nora.

Go with the wind, Bug.

I love her. I mean,
who talks like that?

Ellie,

Liz and Becky are here.

Come on down, sweetie,
they'll be glad to see you.

Grandpa!

Hey, Bug!

Grandpa!

Take it easy, Becky.

My, you are getting big.

Hey, Ellie.

I made this for you.

Here, let me get you settled in.

Come on, I got a bunch
more pictures that I made.

And I've got some good
dirt on Billy Hathaway.

Remember that kid
I told you about?

The one with the
orange suspenders?

It's been a while.

She's growing up fast.

Dad, it's only been a month.

Really?

Seems longer.

How's Ellie doing?

Uh, good, you know.

She has her bad days
and some not so bad.

Sure comes out of her
shell when you guys visit.

She's taking a shine to Becky.

She's a real rail like
that little girl.

She can be stubborn
as an ox sometimes.

Gets that from her father.

Really?

So, you've spoken
with Matt lately?

No.

Dr. Steven's been by?

No. You know how I
feel about doctors.

Well, you know what I mean.

Okay, I've made up the spare
room down here for you.

You get settled in, I'll
go check on the girls.

Dad.

Yeah?

It's good to see you.

Yeah. It's good to
see you too, Liz.

Matilda's disbanding over Kansas

and, as she moved through
Texas and Oklahoma,

we stayed ahead of her with...

94% accuracy.

The information
is still pouring in,

but, according to
early comparisons,

we would have prevented

close to three-quarters of a
billion dollars in damages.

Ninety-four percent.

You should be bouncing
off the walls, Matt.

Yeah, we're almost there.

Almost? We are there.

A 6% variable.

Which will fluctuate within
a five-degree margin.

Look, I'm not sure we
can do better, Matt.

Some things are just
beyond our control.

And I want to go over the day
and the schematics once more.

And saving literally
billions of dollars

in economic loss.

Ladies and gentlemen,
if you'll follow me.

Ninety-four percent.

- Congratulations, Matt.
- Thank you, Dr. Johnson.

Ladies and gentlemen,
Matt McAdams.

He heads our team

of extraordinary
scientists and researchers.

Well, thank you for coming.

I'd like to introduce you
to my right and left hand,

Dr. Helen Monroe.

She'll be taking you
through our day-to-day.

Welcome to the control room.
This is where we monitor...

- See you later.
- See you.

And track atmospheric
conditions using top radar technology

combined with
engineering marvels

to create the advanced
phased array radar system

and it will save more
than just lives.

Karen Shaw says that
Tooth Fairy isn't real.

But I don't believe
that. Do you?

This color goes really well with
your eyes, don't you think?

I mean, how could someone
come into your room

and put money under your
pillow without you knowing?

It's got to be some kind
of magic, don't you think?

I knew Karen Shaw
was full of crap.

She only said that because
I got to be the princess

in the school play.

She was third tree
from the right.

Hey, ma, always
pretty like a fairy.

She sure is.

You girls having fun?

Okay, I think I'm gonna
pack it in for tonight.

Make sure she brushes her teeth.

- Goodnight, ma.
- Night.

Hello, Matt.

Hey.

So,

how are those designs
coming along?

Good.

Just trying to find new ways
to make it more efficient.

Alright.

Well,

they were a tough group.

And, while they were
impressed with the team,

I guess what they are
really looking for

is multi-purpose applications
of the PAR system.

Vince, with the tiniest
of adjustments,

this system can be adapted

to literally dozens of
different functions.

I know.

That's why we got to fund it.

Oh, man.

That's great news.

Congratulations, Matt.
You deserve this.

We all do.

So, I guess we can move
ahead on the installation

of the Minnesota antenna.

Last one to complete the grid.

Minnesota, right.

Which brings me to my
second order of business.

There's a very important
meteorological symposium

going on in the University
of Minnesota this weekend.

Yeah, I've heard about it.

Well, I was supposed
to be key speaker,

but I have to stay back and
make my case with the board,

push through legislation to
become fully operational.

Okay.

So, I was thinking that...

since you're gonna
be in the area...

Vince, I don't know...

Well, I do.

All you have to do is
present the project,

our latest round of test data

and you have them sitting
on the edge of their seats.

I don't have to tell you
how much funding we can get

- from a group like that.
- I know.

So, you'll do it?

Okay.

Good man.

- I'm proud of you, Matt.
- Thank you.

Now go and get back to work.

- Yeah, yeah.
- Hold on, guys.

Yeah, fill it up.

Alright!

Oh, yeah, yeah.

Come on, everybody!

Cheers, everybody!

Yeah! Ooh!

- Cheers!
- Cheers!

- Great job!
- Yes!

- Big day.
- Yeah.

Yeah, we worked hard,
we sacrificed a lot.

Mm-hm.

Some more than others.

I'll drink to that.

Hey, I heard about Minnesota.

Good luck.

Uh, speaking in front of crowds
is not my favorite thing,

but I'll get through it.

I wasn't talking
about the speech.

Hmm?

I was talking about Liz.

She is hosting the
symposium, Matt.

Wow, I guess you
didn't read the flyer.

Congrats, team!

Hey...

We make a great team.

I...

Where's my kiss?

I sent you money for these.

Yeah, I got the money, Liz.

This is important.

I know. I'll get to it.

Dad.

Liz, I said I'll get to it.

You know, between Ellie and
the farm and the house here

I got my hands full.

Dad, that's why I arranged
for Dr. Stevens to come by.

He can help.

I don't need any more
doctors running around here.

We got you.

Dad, I'm not that kind of
doctor and you know it.

Look, she needs...

She needs a special
kind of help.

She needs her family.

I have to work.

I'll get to it.

It's okay, I'll take care of it.

I'm heading out to the barn.

Hello?

Hey, Liz. It's Matt.

Matt.

It's been a while.

That's what your
daughter tells me.

Sorry, I've been
out in the field.

We've just completed the final
stages of the trial phase.

What can I do for you, Matt?

Well, I...

I just thought I'd
give you the heads up.

I'm coming up to Minnesota.

I'm replacing Dr. Johnson
as the keynote speaker

of the symposium.

Okay.

Um...

How's Becky doing?

You'd know if you called
a little more often.

Right. Cut me some
slack here, Liz.

I don't wanna hear it, Matt.

Is she around?

No, she's with Ellie.

Oh, you're at the farm?

Yeah.

Okay. Um...

Please give her my love.

Will do.

- And, Liz...
- Goodbye, Matt.

Bye.

Okay, then, something
is kicking up.

Yeah, look alive, people!

We got some activity
coming in from the gulf!

What's it showing?

I'm not exactly sure yet.

The grid is fully extended
and getting sensory readings

of possible build
from the south.

It's late in the season, so this might
be our last sight of the storm front.

Mm-hm.

Okay...

Yeah, we're getting some
clear readings now.

Another hurricane?

It's too premature to say.

There's an upper level trough
of low pressure across the south,

which may be causing a
100-knot upper level

and... 50-knot
low-level jet stream,

which will definitely carry
all that warm moist air north.

And if these numbers build,

we'll be getting a
storm cell for sure.

Okay, we need to get
that antenna set up

so we can get ahead of whatever
is coming down from the north.

Sensory maps and equipment is
already loaded on the truck.

I'm heading out first
thing in the morning.

Keep me updated.

Matt.

I am sorry if I was a
bit forward earlier.

I got caught up in
the moment and just...

It's fine.

I have really enjoyed
working with you.

I meant what I said, I
think we make a great team.

I agree.

I'm glad to hear you say that

because I...

Okay, um...

What I'm trying to say is...

Helen?

We should go for a drink
sometime after work?

When work's done.

I mean, we won't be
done work for years,

but, um, we could have a drink

and talk about things
other than work,

uh...

You know...

Like a date?

A date.

Okay, I guess.

Yeah.

Okay.

Okay.

- When I get back.
- Okay.

Well, you have a safe trip.

- I'll be checking in.
- For sure.

Oh, my God.

Okay.

Stop here for a minute.

You got everything you need?

Yeah, pretty much.

Let's make sure you
get enough for Ellie.

You know she loves
making her crafts.

I think we do.

Nora.

Mm-hm?

I know that Ellie's special.

Why doesn't she talk out loud?

Does she talk in other ways?

Yeah, of course.

I mean, how else would
I know what she wants?

But why doesn't she
just speak out loud?

She can, can't she?

Yes, I believe she can.

Well?

Deep, deep down,

Ellie's holding on to something.

What?

Like, um...

Like a secret,

but not just any secret.

This one's so big and scary

that, until she shares it,

she won't be able
to speak out loud.

Wow.

That must be some secret.

It's important to know that...

everyone walks a different path.

No one's journey is the same.

Ellie's journey happens

in here

and here.

And when she's ready to
come out here and join us,

she will.

I hope it happens soon.

Everything happens in
its own time, Bug.

Come on, let's head out.

Hey, it's Matt.
What's the latest?

Well, the data is
still streaming in,

but we're thinking of
possible double-whammy.

Two storm fronts?

Yeah, Matt, we're getting
hints of activity

all the way up the coast from
Florida to South Carolina.

How is the southern
front looking?

It's been building overnight.

It looks like it's
gonna be a big one.

Meteorologists across the South

should start to pick it up
sometime this afternoon.

So, it should be
coastal by morning.

Yeah, most likely.

Any idea how big?

Level 4, maybe 5.

All right, let's bring
Vincent on this.

He's gonna have to start
making some calls.

Will do.

And, Matt, I just got
off with the ground crew

in Cottonwood County

and the infrastructures
and the concrete's poured,

all you have to do is
install the antenna.

Perfect.

I'll get to it right after
I finish this symposium.

We should be fully operational
in a matter of days.

Just in time.

All right. Keep me posted.

Ellie?

It's okay.

It's okay.

Come on.

Do you want to help
out, do some cleaning?

Okay.

Do you know where dad keeps
the broom and the dustpan?

Good. 'Cause this place
sure could use it.

Is this where the old house was?

Yep.

My mom says a storm
blew it over.

A really bad storm.

Is it true what you told
me about the animals?

What was that?

That they know when
a storm is coming.

It's true, but not just
with animals, people too.

Really?

- Dr. Johnson.
- So where are we at?

It's gonna be a rough few days.

What we're looking at is
two large storm fronts

both on course for
Tornado Alley.

We haven't seen a simultaneous
build like this one in years.

Are we certain of this?

Yes.

Okay, I'll start
waking people up.

Sir, if these two storms
maintain their momentum,

there is a chance
they'll collide

somewhere over Iowa or Missouri.

That looks bad.

And when they collide, they'll
form a massive supercell,

increasing its momentum
moving north into Minnesota.

So, when do we know for sure?

We won't.

Until the last
antenna is set up,

we only have the capacity

to stay ahead of the
storm through Kansas.

That's when the
data stream stops.

Is Matt up-to-date on all this?

Yes.

All right. I'll start
making some phone calls.

- I want hourly updates.
- Yes, sir.

Yep.

Old Axle,

well, the fastest horse
you'll ever ride.

I was riding him bareback

across that big open
field out there one day,

I'm telling you,

we were going faster
than the wind.

We were going so fast,

and I can't be sure of this,

but, at one point, I look down

and I swear

we left the ground.

No.

I swear.

You flew?

Just for a moment.

Pssh...

Wow.

Can I ride Axle?

Mmm.

If you're good, we
could try it this week.

Awesome.

I have to check
with Axle though.

We walked by the old
farmhouse today.

Looks like there's lots
of neat stuff to explore.

Uh, it's not safe to
explore there, Becky.

Stay away from there, okay?

Didn't look dangerous.

Look, it's the things
that you can't see

that can end up hurting you.

Like a rusty nail or a
broken piece of glass.

Mm, still looks pretty cool.

Becky.

Fine.

Hey, guess who I
spoke to last night?

Your father.

Yeah, he said to say
how much he loves you.

Why didn't you
bring me the phone?

It was pretty late
when he called.

You know how he
loses track of time.

Yeah, men.

Um, alright.

What do you say we
clear up these plates

so we can make room
for Nora's pie?

- Thanks.
- Mm-hm.

You wanna have a
piece of pie, Ellie?

You're doing a
great job with her.

She could be quite a
handful sometimes.

I'm sure we all
were at that age.

Becky asked me a very odd
question before dinner.

Yeah?

She wanted to know if I
was one of those people

like animals who could sense
if a big storm was coming.

So, it did come from you.

You used to believe that too.

I just want to keep it to
a minimum around Becky.

She's already living
in the clouds.

It's a good thing.

She's a kid.

The higher you are, the harder
you fall when reality sets in.

I'm just trying to
maintain a healthy balance.

Okay. Fair enough.

Come on, guys.

The Gulf of Mexico
has been creating havoc

for residents
across state lines.

In Florida, high winds

and heavy rain
battered the coastline

causing severe flooding and
extensive property damage.

- Local officials...
- Quite a storm.

I'm afraid it's gonna
get much worse.

You're one of them
weather people?

Yeah. I'm on my way to
Minneapolis for this symposium.

Severe thunderstorms are
being reported state-wide

and these cells can
potentially develop

into tornadic
activity by morning.

Please stay tuned
for further updates

to this developing story.

Is the model ready yet?

Almost.

Okay.

I'm getting category 4.

Mm-hm. Me too.

It looks bad.

Okay, the storm from the
east isn't gonna be as big.

Check it out.

Category 3.

Same.

I'm gonna get this to Vince.

Good morning.

We're making breakfast.

I can see that.

Where's your grandfather?

I don't know.

Dad?

Dad?

Hey, you up there?

What are you doing here?

What is this place?

You shouldn't be here.

Dad.

Dad.

Dad, stop.

What's going on with you?

Nothing.

Dad...

I started to forget.

What?

It's been so long and we've
been through so much.

And my memory isn't what it was.

I needed a place to remember.

Remember mom?

Yeah, and...

how it was before the storm.

Mom, you and Ellie,
the farm, all of it.

It was all getting
lost and kind of...

Broken.

I used to be able to hold
on to it there for a while,

but my memory is just
not what it used to be.

Dad, we're all still here.

No.

We're not.

Not like we were.

And Ellie went with your mom.

And you and I have
never been the same.

You know, I am sorry
for that, Liz.

Dad, uh...

I've never said
this to you before

because it's kind
of hard for me,

but it's time for
you to let it go.

I know I've been hard on you

and it's not been easy
with Matt and Becky.

You have to let it go, Liz.

It wasn't your fault.

You know, your mom was
always the strong one

and you're just like her,
you take on too much.

It's my fault.

I've been leaning
on you too long.

I don't know what to say.

Well,

you're mom's up
there in that loft,

could go lean on
her for a while.

I love you, Liz.

I love you too, dad.

Girls are going to
destroy the kitchen

and, um...

I have to get on the road.

Yeah.

Well, I'll be in in a minute.

Okay.

Okay!

I'll only be gone a
couple of days, okay?

- Be good.
- Okay.

Not too much fun.

- Bye!
- Bye.

Have a safe trip.

Thanks, dad.

So, where are we at?

In a matter of hours,

Oscar's going to cross over to
Tennessee as a tropical storm.

While Nadine
downgrades to a category 1

as she moves north
through Arkansas.

I got the National Weather
Service standing by.

What do I tell them?

Well, when these two storm
fronts collide over Missouri,

they're going to make
one hell of a splash.

And you'll get
violent weather patterns

straight up the dry
line through Iowa,

Nebraska and southern Minnesota.

Mmm...

Matt's set up yet?

No.

He should be right in the middle
of his presentation right now.

Oh, right!

I forgot.

Well, why don't you show me
the latest round of test data?

Okay.

Our numerous tests,

including last week's
hurricane Matilda,

we were able to predict
the path of the storm

with a 94% accuracy

with enough lead time to
evacuate the population

specifically along the
path of the storm.

In conclusion,

I would like to say that
this system is going to help

where we need it the most.

As scientists, we tend
to focus on the data,

the magnitude of these
incredible acts of nature.

We often don't consider the
aftermath and the devastation

of these storms and what
it does to the families.

Memories, properties, lives
all swept away in an instant.

And those who are lucky
enough to be left behind,

they're never the same.

This new phased array radar
system is designed for them

and, with your help,

we can put a stop to this
senseless loss of life.

Thank you.

Ladies and gentlemen,
Dr. Elizabeth McAdams.

Smile.

That was the phased
array radar system

with Matt McAdams

representing the Storm
Protection Center

out of Norman, Oklahoma.

Later this afternoon,

we have our second key
speaker, Antoine Francis,

from the National Oceanic and
Atmospheric Administration.

Thank you so much.

Liz.

Hey, Liz. Come on.

Shouldn't you be getting back?

Can we grab a coffee and talk?

About what?

That was a very impressive
presentation, Mr. McAdams.

Well, thank you, sir.

We're honored to have
both of you here

and the mind of one of our own.

We're all very proud.

Well, you should be.

Her system is going to
save thousands of lives.

A little bird told me you've
been approved to go operational.

You didn't know?

Well, I knew that the board
had put forth a request.

Like there was ever any
doubt they would pass it?

Well, I'm just heading out to
install the final antennas

and complete the
national grid right now.

Well, best of luck.

Thanks again for coming.

My pleasure.

Liz.

I had no idea you were so
close to finishing it.

Yeah.

This is your life's work,
Liz. It's your dream.

Not anymore.

Well, that's crap.

This has always been about
your family, all of this.

Abandoning it hasn't
made things any better.

You're one to talk
about abandoning.

You packed up Becky and left.

My father and sister needed me.

Matt, you weren't abandoned.

- You had a choice.
- What choice?

I was supposed to just give
this up and chase you down?

Yeah.

I had to see this through.

You of all people
should understand that.

For you,

for Becky,

not to mention the millions
of others out there.

I'm sorry.

I really am.

Now I got to get out
to that final site

and I think it's only
appropriate if you join me.

I promise I'll have you back
for the afternoon lecture.

You started this thing, here's
your chance to finish it.

Only 94%?

I know.

There's a coffee shop off the
interstate on Bender Road.

I'll meet you there.
I'll take you to the site.

Okay.

I'm just going out to do a
little work for a while.

You girls need
anything before I go?

No, thanks, grandpa. We're good.

Okay.

You know I love you, right?

I know about the secret.

I hear what everybody
talks about

and I know I'm just a
kid, but I'm not stupid.

I know something
happened a long time ago

to you and grandpa and mom.

Something about a storm
in the old house.

I just wanted you to know
that I know you have a secret

and that's why you can't
go outside and can't talk.

If you ever wanted to
share that secret with me,

I'd be okay to hear it.

Whenever, no rush.

You're really good at this.

Yeah, Matt, there's some
severe stuff headed your way.

All right. I'm 20
minutes from the site.

I'll have her up and
running within an hour.

That's good,

'cause we're starting to
lose track of the storm.

Hey, Matt, how did it go?

Got a standing ovation.

They seem to respond
well to the science.

I meant with Liz.

She's with me.

Uh, Matt, say again?

'Cause I could've sworn I just
heard you say she's with you.

Yep.

Well, how the
hell did that happen?

No idea.

Okay, you should get to it.

Clock's ticking.

I'll call in when
I'm on the site.

Say hi for me.

Yeah.

Two coffees, please.

Where's grandpa?

I don't know. He's either
in the field or the barn

doing farm stuff.

What are you and Ellie up to?

We were making crafts a while
ago, but then Ellie got tired.

She's taking a nap right now.

Well, just try and stay
out of trouble, okay?

Why don't you do some
dusting or something?

Mom.

Okay, I'll be home soon.

I love you.

Love you too.

Talking to your dad?

Becky.

You should have let
me talk to her.

I don't know if it's a good idea
that she knows you're here,

that we're together,

unless you're planning
on seeing her.

Is that out of the question?

We're near the farm.

Just call her later.

I miss being here.

We had some good times
at that old farm.

How's Bobby?

You know, he says hi.

He misses you.

I bet.

We all do.

So, I heard they
brought on Helen Monroe

to pick up the slack?

Yep.

She's qualified...

and cute.

You guys a thing?

No.

Don't get me wrong.

I think she's got a
lot going for her.

She's very smart and she's
more than just cute.

It's just one thing.

She's not you.

I'd forgot what a
charmer you can be.

It's true.

We should probably get going.

That's my Liz,

always running away.

Do we have to do this now?

No.

Yeah, you're right.
We should get going.

Thanks.

Here, this connects us
directly to the control room.

There's a laptop in
that large black case.

We're gonna need that to
calibrate the antenna.

- Wow, nice work!
- Thanks.

I modified it according
to the conditions.

The antenna retracts
into the concrete ground

until the storm hits.

This design withstood a
direct hit from an F5.

Wow, I'm impressed!

It retracts and extends

according to a variety
of information

that the sensor reads
in the air and...

That doesn't look good.

Yeah, let's get
this operational.

Yeah, I'm going to call it in.

Oh, no...

Oh, no.

Liz,

it's great to have you back!

I'm not back.

Okay, run it.

Okay, running the
system scan now.

Matt, we're getting
reports of tornadoes

all over Cottonwood County.

Yeah, there are some dark
cloud formations here.

Okay, done. Just need to
run a quick diagnostic.

Looks good, she should be
online in a matter of seconds.

We're active.

Okay, we'll have some
readings for you in a second.

Well, that can't be good.

Hello?

Nora?

Nora, I can't...

I can't hear you!

Come on!

It's almost on top of
us. Come on! Come on!

Guys?

Guys?

You guys out there?

Yeah.

Is there any damage
to the antenna?

No, we got it underground
before she was hit.

The tornado is changing
course and heading east.

Alright, we're
heading north-west.

Okay, there's nothing in your
path. You're in the clear.

Stay live, guys, I need you
to be my eyes and ears.

Hello?

There's a storm
heading for the farm.

- What?
- I'm heading there now.

I keep calling, but
no one's picking up.

Whoa, whoa, slow down.

What do you mean there's a
storm heading for the farm?

I'm telling you, the
farm is in danger.

How can you know that?

Please, just get there
as soon as you can.

All right, we're only
15 minutes away.

Guys!

Yeah, Matt.

I need you to focus on Windom,

it's a small town
north-east of the site.

Isn't that where the farm is?

Exactly, I need to know
if I should be concerned.

Becky's out there.

We're on it.

It's not far.

We'll get there.

Okay.

What's wrong, Nora?

Something's coming,
something bad.

- Are the girls up at the house?
- Yeah.

I'll meet you back there.

- Uh, Matt.
- Go ahead.

There's some activity headed
straight for the farm.

- When?
- Minutes away.

Seems like
there's a storm coming.

Mrs. Beasley! Mrs. Beasley!

I forgot Mrs. Beasley!

- I have to go get her.
- No!

If the storm doesn't
kill us, mom will.

I'll go back. I'm faster.

No, I'm not going without her!

Everything's going
to be all right, Ellie.

It's okay, Ellie.

It's time to let go.

Now go, run as fast as you can.

Everything's going to be okay.

Hello?

Nora! Is everybody there?

No, I've just been
through the house.

No sign of Ellie or Becky.

Where are the girls?

- They're not here.
- What?!

- It's Liz.
- Liz?

Hey, dad, we're just pulling up.

They could be anywhere.

- Okay, let's split up.
- I'll check the barns.

We'll take the fields.

Nora, take the house just in
case the girls come back.

Go quickly!

Ellie!

Becky!

Where are you?

They must have gone this way.

Wait, Ellie would
leave the house?

She's got to be
looking for Becky.

Beck...

Be...

Be... Becky!

Ellie?

Run!

Run!

Run to the foundation!

Becky!

Ellie!

Becky!

Ellie!

Ellie!

Becky!

Hello?!

The tub!

Becky, get in the tub!

Ellie!

Ellie! Ellie!

No! What are you doing?

- It's too late!
- I can save her!

- It's too late!
- Get off!

- Get down!
- No!

No!

Ellie!

Ellie?

Oh!

- Mom, dad?
- We're here, baby!

You're safe now.

Thank you!

Thank you, Ellie!

We should get back to the house.

The tornado was headed that way.

Okay.

All right. Come on.

Hey, guys.

Matt! Matt, are you all right?

Yeah, we found Ellie and
Becky. Everyone's safe.

Oh, Matt, that's fantastic.

Tornado's passed, we're
heading back to the farmhouse.

Matt the storm's dissipated.

There's no more
activity in the area.

- Thanks a lot, guys.
- Thank you, Matt.

Ladies and gentlemen, I
have an announcement.

The legislation
has gone through,

we are now fully operational.

Congratulations.

Congratulations, Bob.

- Congratulations.
- Thank you!

Well, done team! Well done!

Where's dad?

He was in the barns.

I can't believe that
place was destroyed.

Oh!

I'm so glad you're all okay.

Me too.

Oh, Ellie can talk now.

Did I forget to mention that?

Matt, thanks for coming.

Glad to be here.

Well, come on, girls,

let's get you cleaned up.

You're not going
anywhere, are you?

Not for a while, Bug.
I'll be there in a minute.

Oh, uh...

I'm... I'm sorry I
pushed you earlier.

It's okay.

Thank you.

For what?

For being here.

Well, maybe we can make
that a regular thing.

What about the project?

Well, now that
we're operational,

we're going to have to open
up observation centers

all along the grids. Who knows?

Maybe I could open up the
Cottonwood County office.

And I know this weather girl

who's completely
out of the league,

so I think maybe I can
get her to work for me.

Well, now you're getting a
little ahead of yourself.

I could open up the
Cottonwood County office.

Just don't forget
whose project this is.

Yes, sir.
