(THUNDER RUMBLING)
Is anyone seeing this?
(THUNDER CRASHING) (GARAGE DOOR OPENING)
(CROWD CHATTERING)
(JACKHAMMERING)
Hey.
It's all right. Calm down, okay?
Samantha?
(YELLING) Are you out of your mind?
(DOOR OPENS)
(DOOR CLOSES)
SAMANTHA: Not a word.
You didn't say one word about this to me.
Don't you think you owe me that?
Don't you think that you might respect me enough
to at least consider what I'd have to say?
I didn't want you worrying about it.
Well, I'm worried, Curtis.
How are you paying for all that?
I got a home improvement loan from the bank.
(VOICE SHAKING) How could you do that without talking to me?
You know the expenses we have coming up.
You want to waste money on a stupid tornado shelter?
I'm doing it... I'm doing it for us.
I know you don't understand.
(YELLING) You're right. I don't understand.
I don't understand half the stuff you've been doing lately.
(SNIFFLING)
I don't understand you putting Red out back.
I don't understand (BREATHING DEEPLY)
you staying up all night in that stupid tornado shelter.
You don't come to bed half the time.
You leave, you don't tell me where you're going.
Explain that to me.
Please.
Tell me something
that helps me understand why you're being like this.
There's nothing to explain.
I'm gonna go put Hannah to bed.
(SOBBING)
(WATER RUNNING)
(CURTIS GASPS SUDDENLY)
(CURTIS CRIES OUT)
Curtis?
(GASPING)
Baby. Oh, my God. Baby...
(MOANING)
Oh, my God. (VOICE SHAKING) Baby.
(DIALING)
(MOANING)
(STAMMERING) I need an ambulance!
My husband's having a seizure.
41800 Tindale Road.
(SOBBING) Hurry up. He's bleeding!
(GURGLING)
(SOBBING) Okay
(GASPS)
(SOBBING) Honey?
Honey?
Honey? Are you okay?
You were having a seizure. I called an ambulance.
(GRUNTS)
No. It's fine. It's fine. Don't send an ambulance.
What are you doing? It's fine.
DISPATCHER (FAINTLY) Ma'am?
Baby, what's going on?
(PANTING)
I'm sorry you fellows had to come all the way out.
It's what we do.
Now we can still take you in
if you want a doctor to look at those cuts in your mouth.
Yeah, that's all right. I'll see somebody on Monday.
All right.
Thanks.
(SNIFFLING) (DOOR OPENS)
I haven't been honest
with you.
I'm sorry.
What's going on?
I've been having these dreams.
I guess they're more like nightmares.
It's why I've been acting like this.
They, um...
They always start with a kind of storm.
Like a real powerful storm.
And there's always this, uh...
This dark, thick rain.
Like fresh motor oil.
And then
the things,
people, it just makes them crazy.
They attack me. Sometimes...
Sometimes they go after Hannah.
First one I had,
Red nearly chewed through my arm.
That's why you put him out back?
Yeah.
What was the dream? Tonight.
It was Dewart.
We were at the job site.
The storm started and something happened.
His face...
His eyes were
different.
He came after me with a pickax.
And we fought.
And he ran it through my leg.
(STUTTERING) It's hard to explain,
because it's not just a dream.
It's a feeling.
I'm afraid
something might be coming.
Something that's
not right.
I cannot describe it.
I just need you to believe me.
I've been to a counselor.
I've seen her...
I've seen her a few times.
You know what I come from.
And I promised myself...
I promised myself I would never leave.
And I am doing everything that I can
to make that true.
Okay, since the doctor's approved her surgery,
we just need to get her scheduled.
The next possible opening is the 21st of next month.
That's six weeks.
Six weeks?
Is that okay?
It's wonderful.
This point just to the west.
I don't think we'll have any problem.
We should be able to get 20, maybe 30 in this next week.
But we're looking to see how that's gonna shape up, so...
Curtis? Yeah.
What do you think?
Yeah. That sounds good.
We'll get it done.
(KNOCKING ON DOOR)
Come in.
What you need, Curtis?
I need a favor, Jim.
What's that?
Can you take Dewart off my crew?
Just reassign him someplace else.
What's the trouble? He not pulling his weight?
No, nothing like that. He's a good worker.
He's a good man. He's my friend.
I think it'd be easier
not being in charge of someone I'm so close to.
You know, I understand.
This is part of what it means to manage people, Curtis.
You're gonna have to learn that.
Yes, sir. I appreciate that, but...
Well, it would just be very helpful in this case.
Okay.
Well, I can put him with Russell.
Anybody else you'd prefer?
No. Whoever you think's right.
Okay. Okay.
Thank you.
You been missing a lot of work, Curtis.
I know. My daughter's had a lot of doctor's visits.
I haven't let anything get behind.
No. But don't. Okay?
Yes, sir.
SAMANTHA: I know they just usually do oysters and fries,
but what if we did something healthier on the side?
What, like 'slaw?
I don't know. Maybe a vegetable or salad.
Dewart's been telling me how strange Curtis has been acting lately.
I am so sorry.
It's not like you don't have enough
on your plate with Hannah.
Things are fine.
We're fine.
Can I help you?
Yeah.
Can I look at one of these gas masks?
Sure.
Which one you want to look at?
The newest one.
Anything cheaper?
No. That's the cheapest one I got in the store.
They go all the way up to $290.
I don't know what you want to spend,
but a gas mask ain't something you want to go cheap on.
You got any kids' sizes?
No.
Kids can't wear those
They gotta have a special thing, it's like a hood.
I don't fool with those.
What the hell are you doing?
What you got going on here?
I'm just adding on to the storm shelter.
Why? Just because.
You running water to it?
Oh, yeah. From our well
Running sewer out to the city line.
How much you spending on this thing?
It's not bad.
Doesn't look it.
You take your eye off the ball one minute in this economy
and you're screwed.
You got the cash for this?
Yeah.
Don't put nothing on credit cards. That shit'll eat you up.
I'm not.
Samantha called me.
I figured
Called you to come tell me to quit?
She called 'cause she's worried.
Says you've been stressed out.
So? So what?
You stressed out?
No. No more than anybody else.
Work all right?
Uh-huh.
Hey, look. You wanna come by
and have dinner sometime, Kyle? That's fine.
We'll have a beer and talk about the old days,
but you got something to say, just say it.
You can stop that shit right now.
I'll come over there and remind you
what it's like to get your ass whipped.
I'm just coming here to check on you.
Well, I appreciate it, Kyle.
You been to see Mom?
Yeah. A few days ago.
She all right?
You should see her.
Take your girls.
Yeah. Yeah, I'll get around to it.
Mmm-hmm.
You need a hand? No. I've got it
Okay.
Call me if you need me, okay?
I will.
Oh. hey, Kyle?
Actually, you could do me a favor.
What's that?
You still looking for a dog?
Sure.
They got a good spot for you, okay, buddy?
You sure? Yeah.
I know it'll make my girls happy.
All right.
Hey, Kyle?
Yeah?
(CHUCKLING) Okay.
Take care of yourself.
All right. All right. I will, little brother.
You take care of your family.
Handle your business. Okay?
(EXHALES)
All right. Bedtime.
(RAIN PATTERING)
(THUNDER RUMBLING)
(WATER DRIPPING)
(FLY BUZZING)
You okay?
(GASPS)
(HANNAH CALLING)
(BREATHES DEEPLY)
Who's that?
Oh, shit.
Hey, Jim.
Curtis.
Dewart told me you took equipment
from work for a project at your house.
Said that's why you wanted him off your crew.
I came out here to see it myself.
Yeah. It was just a hauler and a backhoe.
It was Saturday. I had them back in less than eight hours.
You know that doesn't matter.
I can't even tell you how many rules you broke.
What if you had an accident? Huh?
What if you ran somebody over on your way out here?
Lawsuit like that could bankrupt me.
Well,
I'm sorry, Jim. I hadn't thought of that.
Thank God nothing like that happened, you know?
I'll do whatever I can to make it right.
You can pick up your last check on Friday.
You've got two weeks' benefits.
Did you fire Dewart, too?
He's on two weeks leave, unpaid.
I'm sorry, Curtis.
You did this to yourself.
Damn.
I've been fired.
What about the health insurance?
We get two more weeks.
I'm sorry.
(KNOCKING ON DOOR)
Oh. Excuse me.
Are you Curtis?
Yeah. Come in.
Kendra transferred out I'll be meeting with you today.
Please, sit down.
What happened to Kendra?
She got into a program at OSU,
so she'll be transferring near there
I've split her caseload with another counselor.
It's been kind of crazy around here lately.
Hmm.
So,
I've looked over your file.
It says your mother was diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia
in her early 30s.
Let's start there.
(EXHALES)
(WHIRRING)
(WIND BLOWING)
(CLANKING)
I'm so sorry. I completely forgot.
That's okay. Don't worry about it.
Thanks.
Here. I hope you like them.
I brought cash.
That's terrific. It's fine.
Call me if they don't work and I'm sorry again.
Oh, it's okay. Thank you.
Okay. All done. Done.
Sweet dreams.
What's that?
That's the alternator from the truck.
I was just trying to figure out away to charge enough batteries
to run lights down there.
Yeah, what the hell. Maybe I'll hook it up to your old Exercycle.
You gonna leave me?
You flinched when I touched your hand this morning.
I'm sorry.
I was in one of your dreams?
Yeah.
Can you deal with that?
Yeah.
Okay. Then I made a decision.
We cancel the beach trip.
We have enough to cover bills
for the next two months with your last check.
I'm going to get a job.
You're gonna find another job.
I'm going to call to see if we can move
Hannah's surgery up.
We'll need to see what it costs
to extend your policy to the end of the year.
I want you to see a psychiatrist.
Not a counselor from the free clinic.
Someone good.
Dr. Shannan gave me the number of somebody,
but I just don't think we can afford it.
We'll find the money.
Also, the Lions Club supper's this weekend.
I want you to come with me.
I don't want to see any of those people.
I want you to go.
I need to do something normal.
All right.
(ALL CHATTERING)
How many pieces does Hannah get?
SAMANTHA: Just one.
(HANNAH GIGGLING)
What're you doing here?
Not here, man.
I said, what are you doing here?
Curtis?
I've told people what you've been doing.
I know.
You cut me loose.
Everything we been through.
I know. I'm sorry.
CURTIS: Hey, hey. You ain't fucking sorry.
All right. You ain't fucking sorry.
You sorry, you wouldn't cut me loose.
We're fucking friends! This how you treat friends?
Come on. (GROANS)
God damn it.
Stop it, Dewart!
(GROANS) Fuck!
(YELLING) I said not here!
God damn it!
You think I'm crazy? Huh?
Is that what he told you?
Well, listen up!
There is a storm coming
like nothing you have ever seen!
And not a one of you is prepared for it!
You think I'm crazy?
Hey, I'm talking to you, Russell! Huh?
Lewis! You think I'm a thief?
Sleep well in your beds.
Because if this thing comes true,
there ain't gonna be any more.
(SOBBING)
(LEAVES RUSTLING SOFTLY)
(GRUNTING)
Hannah?
Hannah!

(BIRDS FALLING)
(THUNDER RUMBLING)

(STORM RAGING)
(SIREN CONTINUES WAILING)
(DOOR CLOSES)
Come on. It's okay.
(SAMANTHA BREATHING HEAVILY)
It's okay.
See?
All right. Come on. Sit down.
All right.
Okay, honey, here you go.
No. Don't do that.
It's okay. It's oxygen.
Here. Put this on.
Are you kidding? Please, just do it.
Okay?
There we go.
All right.
Keep it out of your eyes. Okay?
Hey. I love you. It's okay.
All right? All right. Okay.
(THUDDING)
(BREATHING DEEPLY)
(SIGHS;I-ls)
(THUNDER RUMBLING)
(SIGHS;I-ls)
(BREATHING DEEPLY)
(SOFTLY) Wake up, babe.
Where's your mask?
We took them off It's fine.
No. Take it off.
No.
We're fine.
Take it off.
(BREATHING HEAVILY)
(BREATHING DEEPLY)
You need to open the door now.
(MUFFLED) What if it's...
What if it's not over?
What?
What if it's not over?
It's over.
Get the keys.
Open the door.
(GRUNTING)
(BREATHING)
It's still storming.
No. It's not.
I can hear it.
(WHISPERING) I don't hear anything.
Put your hand on the door. You can feel it.
Thunder? Do you feel it?
You feel it?
(CURTIS PANTING NERVOUSLY)
I'm sorry.
Baby, there's no storm outside.
I'm sorry.
Curtis, I wouldn't lie to you.
We love you very much.
Please
open the door.
I'm sorry.
I can't.
I love you, but if I open the door,
then no-thing's gonna change.
You'll see that everything's fine,
but nothing will change.
Please.
This is what it means to stay with us.
This is something you have to do.
(EXHALES)
Could you move Hannah back?
(MACHINE WHIRRING)
(GROANS SOFTLY)
It's fine.
MAN: Do you have any vacation time that you n use?
I don't have a job right now.
Well, I know that times are hard,
but I think it's really important for you to separate yourself
from that storm shelter.
I think you need to break away from it for awhile.
We can start you on some medication that I think will help,
but that action alone would mean a lot.
We usually go on a trip to Myrtle Beach each summer.
We were gonna go this month.
I think that would be okay
if we start the medication now.
And it would give you all some time to prepare as a family.
But I want to be clear,
when Curtis gets back, he'll need to take more time than that.
What does that mean?
I mean that he'll need hands-on therapy at a real facility.
You mean I have to leave my family?
I think you need to seriously commit to some treatment.
(CAWING)
Hey...
Good, huh?
Okay.
(EXCLAIMS IN JOY)
There we go.
Let's make a river.
Good. Yeah.
We put atop on it.
What is it, honey?
What?
(THUNDER CRASHING)
Sam.
Okay.
