Appreciate you both coming out.

This community needs us.

They need to know that their government cares for them.

Yeah, a lot of these people, haven't seen anybody

since the storm so, best be careful.

Ma'am.

Thank you.

All right. This is what I call a date.

Gettin' some supplies out to the people of Carpenter's Ridge.

Feel like I've had my nose stuck in a book all year.

Be good to get out and help the community.

- It's nice to do it together. - Yeah.

- Oh. - Hey.

Y'all be safe.

I can't believe how many people

lost everything up here.

That was the Palmers.

Mom used to get tomatoes and onions from them every year.

I heard they got out before the river came down,

but not everyone was this lucky.

Let's head over to Carpenter's Ridge.

Those people really need supplies.

There.

I hope this helps.

Hang on there.

Here you go, bud.

Thanks so much.

We really appreciate this.

This will really help.

This is worse than I thought.

Yeah.

Let's go.

Welcome back, big fella.

Glad you're back after getting shot up.

Thanks.

Yeah.

You feeling any better?

I'm fine. You sure?

The sheriff said you could take a couple more days off

if you need it.

Went from lying in a hospital bed

to just sitting at home.

I'm ready to get back to work.

Not like I can do any good being planted here all day.

Well,

we got you a welcome back present.

The plant was my idea.

- It's plastic. - That was my idea.

Where's the Sheriff?

He's out with Elli delivering supplies

in the western part of the county.

Let's get back to work.

Okay.

Oh, my.

Justin.

Wow.

You hear that?

Yeah.

There's an old Carpenter's Ridge chapel up there.

Wanna go check it out?

I'm game.

We got to be careful. Ground's still loose

from all the rain.

Go that way.

Is everything okay, officer?

Land sakes.

I had no idea you two were standing there.

Great to see you, Sheriff. - Good to see you.

You too, Elli dear.

Oh, we didn't mean to interrupt, but

you sound great, Brother Rusty.

Never underestimate where

worship to our maker can come from.

You all know Brother Charles Bishop. - Yes, sir.

Last time I saw you was the end of deer season.

Wouldn't be trying to get a head start on

turkey season, would you?

Oh, no, sir.

Better safe than sorry.

You never know what you're going to run up against out here.

I've been discipling Brother Charles

since your last run in.

He's...

come a long way.

Yes, sir.

That's good to hear.

So, what are you all doing up here?

Well, we came to help.

Bring some supplies up to families on the ridge.

How about you?

Thought we should come up and check on our sanctuary.

It survived the damage intact.

It's beautiful.

Just like life.

And beautiful things,

look more beautiful beside the ugliness of the world.

Come summer...

I plan to be up here every Sunday.

Even if just one parishioner makes it.

Well, you guys be careful up here.

There's a lot of residual damage on the way up.

We'll do.

And y'all don't be strangers

once we get this place kicking again.

We won't.

It's nice to see signs of life up there.

Yeah. There's still a long way to go.

Yeah.

Oh God, look out!

No.

Careful.

It's a landslide.

Brother Rusty.

Oh, Brother Rusty.

Brother Rusty.

Brother Rusty!

Charles.

Careful.

By the cross.

Charles!

Here.

Justin. Justin. Justin.

It's his shoe.

It's his leg.

His leg.

There's...

Brother Rusty, can you hear me?

Look, there's been a landslide.

Can you hear me? Water. Water.

All right.

Oh Lord.

Sheriff.

Oh! Elli dear.

Oh, Charles, where's- where's Charles?

He was just there.

Oh. Please find him. Please.

I'll look for him.

We'll look for him.

You're going to be okay.

Let's see what we got.

All right?

Oh! He's here.

I see him. He's here.

Charles!

Charles, it's Elli Wise.

I'm here. I'm here.

I can't.

He's pinned under a tree, Justin.

I'll be right there.

You need to stay awake.

It's important that you stay awake.

You hear me?

I'll be right back.

Help Brother Charles!

Lord, help!

I'm here, okay?

I'm here.

I'm here.

Justin, here.

I can't lift it.

I'm gonna lift it up.

You drag him out. Okay? - Okay.

1, 2,

3.

Oh! I,

Oh. Oh!

We got to get him off this mountain.

How are we going to get him to the truck?

I'm gonna call for help.

Oh. It's okay. It's okay.

There's no signal.

I got to find a spot.

Be careful.

You're okay.

I'm here.

It's gonna be okay.

Hey, Sheriff.

RP, I got an emergency.

I'm not sure how long I'll have reception,

so we got to work fast.

What's your 20? I'm at the top of Carpenter's Ridge.

There's been a landslide. Got two criticals.

How fast can you get the chopper up here?

Maxx, been an accident up on Carpenter's Ridge.

Sheriff's up there. We got two injured.

I need a chopper out here immediately. - Yeah. Copy.

See how quickly you can get an ambulance dispatched.

I mean, that could be hours if it can even make it up there.

Just do it, Deputy.

Dwayne, hand me that map right there.

Carpenter's Ridge one? Yeah.

Okay. Maxx is working on emergency vehicles.

RP, you were a medic when you were in.

I need you to walk me through this.

It's been a while, Sheriff, but I'll give it my best.

One middle aged male, head injury, semi-conscious,

slurred speech, shallow breathing.

It's hard to say, but it does sound a lot

like head trauma. You-

you might be looking at swelling, bleeding in the skull.

Skull fracture could lead to cerebrospinal fluid leaks.

Meaning? That if at all possible, do not move them.

Or you could cause permanent paralysis.

Unfortunately, it's too late for that.

You said there were two criticals. - Yes.

Older male, his right leg's pinned underneath a tree.

Multiple fractures.

Is he bleeding?

Yes, but I don't know how bad.

All right. Well, do your best to stabilize

both of them and just wait

for help to get there.

Well, the ground's not stable.

I'm not sure how much time we have up here.

Roger, stay on the line, Sheriff.

Maxx. E.T.A. on the vehicles?

RP...

Any word on that chopper?

We're still waiting on E.T.A...

Thank you. Yeah. The search and rescue chopper's

on its way to Wilkesboro right now.

Won't be available for two hours or longer.

EMT. Dispatched; no E.T.A...

Can you send us a pin of your exact location?

Oh.

All right, we got it.

I'm going to get this over to the ambulance,

and then we'll give you an update.

RP, I had to climb pretty high

to get cell phone service.

I'm going to go back down.

I'll be in touch.

Copy.

- How is he? - I gave him some water.

He's trying to say something.

I can't make it out.

Brother Charles...

Help is on the way.

Let's go check on Brother Rusty.

I'll be right back.

Be right back.

All right.

Brother Rusty.

All right.

How's Brother Charles?

Oh, it's not great.

We need to get both of you to the hospital.

But your leg's pinned under this tree.

Looks like we're candidates for a miracle.

I'm not giving up yet.

Let's see what we got here.

Oh, I'm not ready to be a one legged preacher.

It just might hamper my Holy Ghost jig, you know?

I'm gonna use this to get underneath the log here.

Ah ha. - All right.

What's the damage, Sheriff?

Well, your leg's in a bad way.

It's definitely broken.

A lot of blood loss.

I need to get these to emergency services.

Will you get in touch with my wife?

I wasn't sure at first.

Didn't want to upset her, but...

I think it's time.

We don't own cell phones.

She probably ain't going to be home this time of day.

We'll find her.

Justin, let's prop his head up.

Want to put this under your head, all right?

Lift up.

Oh.

There you go.

Don't fall asleep.

Yes, sir.

Okay.

God be with you.

This is bad.

We need to figure something out.

I'll go check on him.

All right. The accident happened right here, but the road

ends right about here.

An ambulance was dispatched from here. And here.

I went fishing up there a few weeks ago,

and the hurricane's got that area so jacked up,

there's no telling how long it'll take you to get up there.

At least another hour.

And that's best case scenario.

Okay, well, them Grass properties right here.

And joins up with Wade property here.

There's got to be some access points or something in this area.

Pas just sent some photos.

Hey, Sheriff. RP, did you get the images?

Yeah. Just did. All right, walk me through it.

Well, it could be a compound fracture,

which might lead to sepsis or hypovolemic shock.

Fortunately, it looks like the mud

and maybe some of the pressure from the trees

slowed the bleeding somewhat for now.

So you're saying I shouldn't move him? That's the dilemma.

If you take the pressure off of the leg,

there could be a rush of toxins into the bloodstream.

Specifically myoglobin, from all that messed up tissue,

which may lead to kidney failure.

But even if there's no complications, taking the tree off,

that's going to have a lot of blood loss.

So you guys have to put that tourniquet on

ASAP to stop the bleeding.

Otherwise, they might be dead in minutes. - Roger that.

Who is it, by the way? - Brother Rusty James.

Backwoods preacher? That's him.

He baptized me in the Oak River, twice.

And who's the other injured party?

Charles Harris.

He's still

barely conscious and not coherent.

That's sounding more and more like brain bleed. Yeah.

Any word on the emergency vehicles?

We got two en route, but

they're still an hour away.

Yeah, there's a lot of damage on the roads.

I'm not sure they're going to be get through here.

Is there anything else we can do for now, boss?

Yes. I need you to find Rusty's wife, Melody.

She doesn't have a cell phone, and she's not at home.

Yes, sir. And boss...

weather report says another storm's coming through.

Time is of the essence. Copy that. We'll be in touch.

Okay. You two go find the wife.

I'm gonna check in with the EMTs.

- On it. - 10-4.

Elli!

Elli!

Elli!

You okay?

I'm okay.

I'm fine.

You saved his life.

Oh.

We've got to get him out of here.

Okay, well, keep us updated.

Neither ambulance is close.

One of them had to stop in an overturned vehicle

with the casualty on the 321 bypass.

The other one actually made pretty good time

to the base of Carpenter's Ridge, but

had to turn around. Road's completely washed out.

It's a bunch of logging roads up there, but

who knows if they're even drivable.

What about you? Any luck on the wife? - Today's her day to deliver her pies

to all her local clients and she never changes her route.

She just left Miss Maeve's coffee shop, and she's headed

to Jeremiah's, so she'll be there in 5 to 10 minutes.

Why don't you head over there now? I'll call Dixie.

Have them keep her there until you arrive.

On it.

What you need me to do, big fella?

Pray.

Okay.

So the ambulance and the helicopter

are not going to be here anytime soon,

so we're on our own for the foreseeable future.

Okay. There's only one thing to do.

We have to divide and conquer.

- Meaning what? - Meaning we can't move Brother Rusty

and Charles needs to be off this mountain immediately.

So you have to take him down the mountain.

I can't leave you here, alone.

- Justin, I'll be fine. - Look, you take down Brother Charles,

I'll stay with Brother Rusty. - Justin.

Look, I want you of this mountain. It's just too dangerous.

Can't stand the thought of Maddie losing both of her parents up here.

She won't.

Okay.

We'll take Charles down together to the truck and you go.

If you bump into the EMTs, that's great.

If not, you just take him to the nearest hospital.

Yeah.

Okay.

Pies coming in.

Whew.

Here we are. - Oh, my.

There's a blueberry in there.

There just might be.

And a strawberry for Jeremiah.

Oh, my. Miss Melody, you do know

the way to a man's heart.

What happened?

Excuse me for just a minute.

There's been an accident with Brother Rusty.

Well, what's the verdict?

Well, first.

We're gonna have to put a tourniquet on that leg.

Okay.

To do that...

we're going to have to move him.

I'm sorry.

So after I put that tourniquet on,

we're going to carry Brother Charles down to the truck,

and then she's going to take Brother Charles to hospital.

No, sir.

I want you both gone.

I spent many a quiet morning up on this ridge.

Just me and the Almighty.

And I'm perfectly fine...

being up here again on my last day,

with just Him and me.

Too bad.

You're stuck with me.

Well, seems I'm something of a captive audience here,

I can't really fight you, can I?

Not that it would get me anywheres.

So be it, Sheriff.

It's you and me.

Elli, dear.

Be safe out there.

Take care of Brother Charles. I will.

I know the Lord's going to use you.

Ready?

Yes, sir.

One, two,

Oh, Oh.

Oh! Oh!

Try to stay awake.

Yes, sir.

Ah Lord, help them.

All right, right here. Ready?

I'm gonna take a break right here. - Okay.

- Okay? You gotta help me set him down. - Okay.

I got him. I got him.

Watch his neck.

- You good? - Yeah.

You know,

the best decision I ever made was following

you and Maddie here to Blue Ridge.

My biggest regret?

Is that I made you feel so you had to leave me

and move home to Blue Ridge.

You know, I never want to be apart again.

I feel the same way.

I really do.

Brother Rusty.

Brother Rusty. I need you to wake up.

How's Brother Charles...

He's on his way to the hospital.

You got a good woman there, Sheriff.

We both do.

I, I noticed you wear a ring.

She doesn't.

You might want to fix that.

Yes, sir.

I heard that contraption of yours

does all sorts of things.

You can record a message on it. - You can.

I know you can't get me up that hill to make a call and,

I'd like to say

something to Melody.

Ready when you are.

Hang on.

We're almost there.

Hello? Deputy.

RP said you're with Miss Melody.

Yes, sir. - Can you put me on speaker?

You're on speaker now, sir.

Miss Melody, this is Sheriff Wise.

I'm with your husband.

Oh, he's, he's in good spirits,

but he's immobile.

Rusty, honey.

Ma'am, I'm not with him right now.

I had to walk away for cell reception,

but I can give him a message.

You tell him I love him,

and I'm praying for him.

We'll do.

He recorded you a message.

I sent it to my deputy. Maxx, did you get it?

Yeah, it just came through.

Ma'am, I'm gonna head back down.

Bless you, son.

Thank you, ma'am.

Maxx, can I talk to you? - Yes, sir.

Look, it's pretty dire up here.

The ground's unstable.

I don't know if he's going to make it.

Keep her calm.

Yes, sir.

Maddie, I was just trying to help.

You should have gotten me sooner.

Just try to stay calm.

That's my parents out there.

Where's my mom and dad?

Thought she should know.

Look at me. They're both okay.

There's been a landslide.

Two people were injured but your mom

is taking one to the hospital. And your dad, he's-

he's taking care of the other one.

- So are they safe? - As far as we know.

And we're doing everything we can to get him home.

- Where are they? - Come here.

Right here, Carpenter's Ridge.

Carpenter's Ridge. We used to go riding there all the time.

You used to ride horses right here?

Yeah.

Why?

I think you just gave me a really good idea.

This is Conner. Councilman McGrath.

Are you at your property, by any chance?

I am deputy. Why?

Brother Rusty: Hello, Melody, my darling.

Passel of things I could say right now.

I could tell you how I've loved

serving our Lord with you all these years.

I can say how it's been the glory of my life

to walk side by side with such a godly woman.

I could say how proud I am of our kids

and how they're serving the Lord because of you.

But

I think I'd like to just say

you're the love of my life.

I love you, darling.

I love you too.

Booster.

Uncle.

You know those gators that you did not boost

from the construction site?

Mm hmm.

You part them out yet?

- Not yet. - Good.

' Cause we're going to need 'em.

Let's round them up. - Yes sir.

Ah!

Have no signal.

Lay it out for me, Sheriff.

I don't think we can wait for the medics anymore.

There's a good chance you're going to bleed out

before they get here.

I can promise you this.

If I got to move heaven and earth,

I'm getting you off this mountain alive.

Well, you better get to work.

Okay, let's get you out of here.

What I'm going to try and do is lift this up.

And when I do, I need you to scurry out from under it.

Can you do that?

I'll give it my best shot.

On the count of three.

One, two, three.

Ah.

1, 2, 3.

You're strong, son.

But strength ain't enough here.

We need that miracle.

Let's ask the Almighty for some help.

Hang on, Brother Charles.

Okay.

Hang on.

Hey.

We'll be right there.

Your mom made it down.

And my dad?

Someone's coming.

Heard you needed some help.

You have no idea.

Brought a strap, Booster's got some rope.

We're going to get him out of here.

Booster, run that back to the first rig.

Don't tie it off. I need the slack.

Got it.

Can you get it?

All right.

All right.

I'm going to try to drag him out

while you give it gas, all right?

All right. - On my count.

Get you out of here.

- Oh. - Okay, we're good.

Okay.

One,

two.

three.

Jeremiah, on the count of three again.

One.

Two.

Three.

It ain't working, Sheriff.

I'll be.

Here comes the cavalry.

Literally.

Whoa, whoa.

Your deputy called, and said you needed help.

Brought tools.

Let's get him out of here.

Let's go.

Jeremiah.

He's still alive,

but we got to get him off the mountain.

Now.

Three, two.

One. Pull!

My count.

Three.

Two. One. Up.

All right; over the ATV.

Watch that leg.

All right.

Watch his head. Watch his head.

Okay. All right.

All right, let's mount up.

Let's go.

- Maddie, did you ever apply to those colleges? - Yep.

Still working on them.

Any nearby?

No. Still California, dad.

You know...

or maybe you don't know.

You did a pretty good job up there.

Well... thank you.

You didn't do too bad yourself.

Well, thank you.

You know, this don't change our deal any.

I will have my land back. - Hmm.

Well, I wouldn't have it any other way.

Hey, hey, hey, hey.

You boys play nice now, huh?

Oh, we were playing any nicer,

this here would be a waltz.

Hey, y'all. Looks like Brother Rusty's coming.

All right, let's get ready.

Welcome.

Let me take this for you.

Thank you.

Oh, my.

Thank you.

Y'all saved my life.

This...

this community's

seen so much pain and destruction.

This...

this here will give us all hope.

Thank you.

You want to add anything, Sheriff?

I don't usually

give speeches, but I think that what I witnessed

on that mountain needs to be shared.

I tried everything humanly possible

to save Brother Rusty here. But I...

I failed over

and over again.

But then, brother Rusty...

he asked God for a miracle.

And that miracle...

was you.

You worked together

and you saved us.

Blue Ridge,

Blue Ridge is that miracle.

Amen.
