And that's how you let him talk

You know where I get it from,

Apple doesn't fall far

-Oh yeah?
-Yeah.
(Chuckles)
Oh.
Hey, you smell that?
-Yeah.
-It's so strong.
Maybe that's why my dad
was coughing so much.
Maybe he was coughing,
'cause he's still smoking.
(Sirens wailing)
Dad.
I found your cigarettes.
You know you
shouldn't be smoking.
And you can't talk that way
to Sarah.
You just can't-- I mean.
(George coughing)
I love you, but...
(Coughs)
See, that's why.
You can't smoke, dad.
Do you remember
when we went fishing
out by Chilton Lake?
(Chuckles)
If you don't,
there you are right there.
-Who's that?
-That's a chubby little boy.
(Chuckles)
Yeah.
Your mother and I dreamt

We even bought a piece

So peaceful.

We need to do what we can
to protect it.

So, have authorities issued
any evacuation...
I'll just...
Go to the hardware store
before it closes
and pick all that stuff up.
Are we gonna need to evacuate?

Your mom's right,

You know, I think it was a

Have you been able
to develop any estimate
about the acres b*rned
at this point?

Now that the winds have shifted,

Now that thing jumped the gorge.
Who would've think that?
Put this stuff fit
in a cart for me, Marv?
Oh yeah. You know, I was just
getting ready to close up.
Lois has been calling me over
and over again.
She's pretty damn worried.
I told her there's nothing
to worry about.
Not until they give us an alert.
I've been around here 40 years.
We have never had a fire
anywhere near Colbert,
so, I didn't think there was
anything to worry about.
You think that there's anything
to worry about?
You got any fire blankets, Marv?
Uh yeah,
they're on aisle three.
They're kind of pricey,
but uh, I guess if they work,
it doesn't really matter,
does it?
You know, you seem to be
in kind of a rush there, Dave?
You uh,
thinking there's gonna
be some trouble?
You're kinda acting
like you're expecting trouble.
Best be prepared for anything,
Marv.

This can't be right.
DAVE:
Can you put this stuff
in my account, Marv?
MARV:
Well, your account's overdue,
Dave.
But just let me know
how much it was.
We'll-- we'll-- we'll do it.
You know, how in the hell
do they think that these roads
can support everybody leaving
all at once?
I mean, we-- we gotta by zone.
That's the rules,
got to go by zone.
Don't we, Dave that...

Carry me?
If I have to? Yes, you're

Don't make me use it.
I found these in here last week.
You come with us now

Listen, my wife is eight months
pregnant, okay.

So now you wanna live, old man?

Has the climate change
done all this?
That's bullshit.
No, it's a fact, grandpa.
The world's getting hotter.
My science teacher said--

-It's okay, hey, it's okay.
-I'm so sorry.
Hey, babe, it's alright.
What are we gonna do, dad?
I have to head back
to the house.
They said they're sending
evac teams to the neighborhood,
so, maybe we could
get a call out.
It's a down power line
blocking the main road.
There's nowhere else to go.
(Car screeches)
(Sobs)
Oh God!
Dave!
You're gonna be alright.
Okay, we're gonna
get a call out.
We're gonna be alright.
(Sobbing)
SARAH:
Dear Lord, please
guide and protect us through
this night, please Lord.
And please,
please comfort George
as he reaches to you.
(Sobbing)
SARAH:
Please protect us.
-Keep it.
-DAVE: I will.
SARAH:
Oh God,
God.
DAVE:
God, yeah.
SARAH:
Hope the Taylors made it out.
Oh.
It's like the fire
totally missed this.
(Laughs)
Power's down.
You think the fire's gonna make
it's way back here?
Well, with this crazy fire,
it's anyone's guess.
I don't know if the evac teams
come through yet, so,
I think the best thing
to do is fireproof the house,
in case it comes this way.
And what about grandpa?
Hey, Clay,
Grandpa's up there now, okay.
And I know he's watching down
on us.
He's gonna protect us.
But he needs us to be strong.
Now we got a lot of work to do.
And I need your help, okay?
I need both your help.
Come on.
Alright, we need to clear
all this brush up.
And we need to wet down
the entire area.
20 to 30 feet out.
This fire's a hungry monster,
it's got a mind of its own.
(Whirring)
Alright, listen,
go get the sprinkler heads,
-will you?
-CLAY: Yeah.
(Radio static)
RADIO HOST 4: (On radio)
Let's check back in
with chief meteorologist,
Mike Nelson. Mike?
MIKE: (On radio)
Just all related
to what we're seeing
in the warmer world,
the fire triangle, the wind,
the heat,
-and the drier conditions.
-DAVE: Clay, clear the line.
I want to get a line up
on the roof.
MIKE:
It's bushes, although it gets
hot, it gets dry.
If it gets dry,
the fire danger is greater.
-Down here?
-DAVE: Yeah.
-CLAY: Alright.
-MIKE: We've certainly seen
catastrophic results in that
today.
Alright. Let's move anything
that can catch fire
away from the walls and windows.
MIKE: (On radio)
These devastating wildfires
that destroyed communities
in mere seconds.
As many as 1,000 homes b*rned,
leaving many families homeless.
RADIO HOST 5: (On radio)
Tearing through residential
neighborhoods like a blowtorch,
fueled by intense
100-mile-an-hour winds.
Pretty shocking,
the wind blowing embers
all over the road.
RADIO HOST 6: (On radio)
100,000 acres already
b*rned in the Colbert region.
But things have already taken
a turn for the worst.
So many worried about the
status of their homes.
RADIO HOST 5: (On radio)
It's estimated that
over a 100 homes
have b*rned in Colbert.
And thousands more
have been evacuated.
Thousands forced to flee
with almost no warning.
It has been a terrifying ordeal.
RADIO HOST 6: (On radio)
Tonight the destruction
is almost catastrophic.
Still far from being contained.
OPERATOR 2:
911, what is the nature
of your emergency?
MAN 4: (On phone)
There's more fire.
How-- how can that be?
(Indistinct speech)
What's the evacuation route?
Yes, the road is blocked off.
You're gonna have to go
another way.
MAN 4: (On phone)
This is inexcusable.
I'm going to...
sh*t!
Sir?
Sir?
RADIO HOST 7: (On radio)
Winds shifting to the west.
This fire is only 5% contained.
And although gusts
have d*ed down for now,
conditions can change rapidly.
So, please stay alert out
there, folks.
And stay safe.
I'm Don Mansfield,
K Cool News.
What do we do now?
(Sighs)
We wait.
And we pray.
(Sprinkling)
(Fire crackling)
(Lighter clinking)
SARAH:
Hey.
(Door shuts)
Hey.
Not much to show
for 82 years of living.
Yeah.
I don't think your father
had many needs.
I wish you got to meet him,
before my mom passed away.
He just changed so much
after she d*ed.
Watching her go through cancer
really hardened them.
He comes up off
from everybody including me.
Just was never the same.
He was a good man, Dave.
And he really showed it to you,
and that we do know, right?
Because he raised a good son.
I was...
I was driving too fast.
DAVE:
Oh no, no, no.
-And I was reckless.
-No!
-Hey!
-And I really--
-No, come on, hey Sarah.
-He told me to go--
-and I'm so sorry.
-Listen to me.
Hey, it's not your fault, okay?
None of this is.
None of it.
Yeah.
It was his time.
He was ready to go.
He was ready to go.
Now, he's at peace.
It's okay.
Okay.
Hmm?
And I'm so sorry if I ever said
anything bad about him.
DAVE:
Oh no. You know why he was so
hard on you?
Because you reminded him
of my mom.
Because you're strong.
(Chuckles)
And you're beautiful.
(Chuckles)
And you--
you say what's on your mind.
(Chuckles)
DAVE:
I know that, 'cause
I know when he looked at you
and it was painful
and that-- that's why.
That's why he was so hard
on you.
Thank you, baby.
Look, I'll be okay.
'Cause we have each other.
Okay.
(Sniffs)
(Sighs)
-I love you.
-SARAH: I love you.
(Fire crackling)
(Phones ringing)
OPERATOR 2:
I'm sorry, ma'am.
That's all the information
we have at this time.
(Sighs)
(Phones ringing)
You okay?
I don't get it.
People are going down
the mountain,
because the fire's
at the top of the hill, right?
But now people are reporting
there's fire at the bottom, too.
How is that possible?
Spot fires.
The main part of the fire
crested this ridge.
And normally the embers
blow upward,
and they just sort
of fizzle out.
But these winds are so intense,
they carry the embers aloft
and start new fires,
that are called "spot fires".
That's how the fire
reached Wickers Canyon.
So, how far can the embers blow?
Half a mile, a mile.
Maybe more.
So, you're telling me
there's gonna be more fire
all over the place?
-Probably.
-So, where am I supposed
to tell these people to go?
MAN 5:
We can't save everybody.
All we can do is help one
person at a time.
(Phones ringing)
(Sniffs)
911, what is the nature
of your emergency?
(Crickets chirping)
DAVE:
See anything?
Just smoke.
Maybe we'll get lucky.
Well, uh.
We can't get to the main road
because of that down power line,
but maybe
there's a service road,
that we can take
to get around it.
CLAY:
I thought we're going to try
and wait it out.
Oh, that wind shifted west
that means the fires
on its way.
That is...
DAVE:
Mhmm.
CLAY:
Hey maybe,
maybe this week.
Hey, sshh.
You guys hear that?
-MISS ELKIN: Help!
-What?
(Shouting in distance)
It's Miss Elkin's house.
MISS ELKIN:
Help!
(Miss Elkin screaming)
SARAH:
Oh my God!
Get the first-aid kit!
Get down on the ground!
(Miss Elkin screams)
DAVE:
Get down on the ground,
Mrs. Elkins!
(Mrs. Elkins screaming)
It's okay.
Just get down on the ground.
Hey! Hey!
(Shouting)
(Groaning)
Hey, hey, hey.
She's b*rned all over,
what are we gonna do, dad?
-Oh my God!
-It's okay.
-Aah!
-Hey, Mrs. Elkins,
-it's Dave Laughlin.
-MRS. ELKINS: I'm hurt.
-I'm hurt!
-Wait, wait.
I have some of
your dad's Percocet.
(Mrs. Elkins coughing)
DAVE:
This gonna help you,
Mrs. Elkins. Okay, hey.
Take some of that.
There you go.
There you go. It's okay.
(Mrs. Elkins gurgles water)
DAVE:
Mrs. Elkins? Mrs. Elkins?
-CLAY: Dad!
-Miss Elkins?
Miss Elkins!
Dave.
CLAY:
Dad, what happened?
What happened to her?
(Crying)
Oh my God.
I can't-- I can't take this.
I can't-- I can't take this.
Mom.
f*ck you fire!
(Screams)
Come here, it's okay.
(Sobs)
It's okay, it's okay.
Dave.
Hey, Dave. Dave!
CLAY:
But I don't-- I don't wanna
die.
SARAH:
We need to go now!
Dave!
Dave, we need to go!
We need to go now!
(Indistinct speech)
-What do you mean?
-We gotta go! We gotta go!
I'll get the keys.
Get in the truck!
-SARAH: Come on!
-CLAY: Mom, get in the truck!
We gotta hurry.
Those propane tanks
are gonna blow.
Go, go, go, go, go, go!
-Dad!
-SARAH: Clay, run, run, run.
Our house.
Things can be replaced, Clay.
People can't, alright.
As long as we're together,
we're gonna be okay.
SARAH:
Oh.
Okay, okay.
Look up here.
The service road is coming up
on your right-hand side.
DAVE:
Keep an eye out for it,
'cause I can't see anything
but the smoke.
-CLAY: It's there, dad.
-DAVE: Where?
It's right over there.
You just can't see,
'cause the bushes are on fire.
He's right. I see it,
it's right there, Dave.
Okay, okay.
Oh God.
Oh, be careful, Dave.
(Revs)
Hang in there, babe.
I'm trying.
CLAY:
Think it's the right way, dad?
We're surrounded by fire.
DAVE:
This is the only way
through the main road,
so, we're gonna have
to push through.
Okay, I'm gonna as fast
as I can.
-Hang on. Okay?
-SARAH: Oh, hey.
-DAVE: Hang in there.
-SARAH: Oh.
Oh God.
Christ! You alright, guys?
It's hard.
You alright?
Hang in there.
(Sarah breathing heavily)
Where are we?
What is all this stuff?
DAVE:
Looks like they've done
an upgrade to the runoff canal.
Watch out, dad!
(Screeches)
SARAH:
Oh God.
(Panting)
Oh God.
Is there any other way?
Can't get around that.
Well...
Maybe we can.
(Door shutting)
CLAY:
Do you even know how
to drive one of those?
I own a construction company.
I hope so.
Ah, sh*t.
-There's no keys!
-Oh.
Go get my bolt cutters,
would you?
-Oh God.
-Hey, babe, hey?
-Hey, you okay?
-Oh God.
-Hey, look at me.
-Yeah.
Look at me, you alright?
Look at me.
-SARAH: Yeah.
-DAVE: Talk to me.
-What's going on?
-It was a cramp.
I don't want to lose the baby,
Dave.
-Hey, that's not gonna happen.
-I know--
No one's gonna lose anybody,
I promise you, okay.
Nobody's gonna lose anybody.
I just-- Just gotta get through
that road,
and that takes us to safety.
I just gotta move that tree.
-Okay?
-How are you gonna do that?
With whatever's in there.
-Fire's getting close.
-Okay, alright.
Come on.
(Clanks)
(Panting)
Yeah, that'll work perfect.
Okay.
(Whirring)
(Whirring)
Pull it.
Grab it nice and tight.
Good? Okay.
CLAY:
You got it!
Whoo!
Alright, let's give it a sh*t.
Alright.
-You ready?
-Yeah.
Pull.
(Grunting)
(Chuckles)
Come on, we gotta move.
We gotta move.
Come on, guys. Come on.
So proud of you!
(Chuckling)
(Clay chuckling)
CLAY:
You see me?
-Did you see me do it?
-SARAH: Yeah.
-CLAY: You better?
-DAVE: Yeah.
CLAY:
We have a chance.
SARAH:
Let's get out!
-Yes!
-CLAY: Whooo!
Yes!
DAVE:
Hang on, guys.
We're almost there.
SARAH:
Mm, yeah.
Please drive more carefully,
Dave.
I'm trying, babe.
This fire's spreading fast.
But we can make it, alright.
(Sarah sighing)
DAVE:
We're almost there.
sh*t.
-SARAH: What is that?
-DAVE: sh*t.
Oh no, no, no, no.
-sh*t!
-What happened?
CLAY:
What?
Did we run over something?
DAVE:
sh*t!
What just happened?
Dad?
Ruptured the oil panel
a while back.
We've been leaking oil
this whole time.
Can you fix it?
No. Our engine seized.
We're gonna have to go on foot,
alright.
-SARAH: Aah!
-Come on.
Grab that backpack.
Grab your stuff,
give me that jacket.
Grab your backpacks.
SARAH:
Oh.
Dad!
Get out of the truck now!
-CLAY: Mom!
-Get out of the truck!
Go, go!
Get out of the truck,
let's go!
(Explodes)
(Scream)
DAVE:
You okay?
SARAH:
Yeah. Clay?
CLAY:
Huh, huh.
This is the worst day
of my life.
DAVE:
Damn, I loved that truck.
(Grunting)
(Phone ringing)
OPERATOR 2:
911, what is the nature
of your emergency?
MAN 6: (On phone)
Yeah, hi.
I'm sitting on Pine Bluff.
OPERATOR 2:
Mhmm.
MAN 6: (On phone)
Where are we supposed to go?
I can't get past the barricade.
Yes, the road is blocked off.
You're gonna have
to go another way.
There should be
a path on Wilson Street.
Do you know where
Wilson Street is?
MAN 6: (On phone)
Yeah, I do. Thanks so much.
Yeah.
(Clay coughing)
CLAY:
Where's that coming from?
DAVE:
The wind was blowing the embers.
This could get really bad.
SARAH:
We gotta get out of here.
DAVE:
Hey, it's alright.
(Coughs)
DAVE:
Come on, keep moving.
(Coughs)
-Foot okay?
-Yeah.
(Coughs)
-Help me. Get me.
-CLAY: Mom?
DAVE:
Come on, baby.
Come on,
you gotta keep going.
(Coughs)
CLAY:
Come on, mom.
Okay, okay, okay.
Just I said something--
SARAH:
I need some water.
Just rest for a second.
CLAY:
We gotta... We gotta drink quick
and move.
(Coughs)
We gotta keep pushing through,
okay?
SARAH:
Okay.
We can make it, okay?
Yeah.
(Whirring)
(All coughing)
Hey. Look, look, look. Hey!
-SARAH: Hey!
-We're here!
CLAY & DAVE:
Hey!
Hey!
SARAH:
Hey!
DAVE:
Help!
I mean, where is everybody?
Aren't they supposed
to be looking for people?
DAVE:
Okay, come on.
Let's stay along the--
the tree line, okay.
We gotta keep moving.
(Coughs)
CLAY:
Mom.
-Come on.
-SARAH: Okay.
We'll run into somebody.
If the fire doesn't run
into us first.
That's not gonna happen, Clay.
We're gonna get rescued.
-How do you know?
-'Cause I'm your dad, Clay!
And what I say goes, okay?
SARAH:
Dave.
I'm sorry, Clay.
(Coughing)
I'm sorry.
(Coughing)
CLAY:
Dad, look!
See if there's any keys.
Stay with your mom.
I see lights, dad.
(Coughs)
SARAH:
I can't believe they
didn't lose power.
DAVE:
Let's check it out.
SARAH:
You think anybody's home?
DAVE:
I don't know. (coughs)
-DAVE: Hello?
-CLAY: Hello?
There's a porch
on the side here.
Come on.
-CLAY: Come on, mom.
-SARAH: Yeah.
Hello? Anyone home?
Hello?
(Knob rattles)
It's locked.
SARAH:
I'm thirsty, Dave.
Me too.
This isn't looting, alright.
We're gonna replace
whatever we take after.
(Glass shatters)
Hello?
Hello?
Alright, grab some water.
We need to stay hydrated,
alright.
Drink as much as you can.
Oh. Oh, thank God!
CLAY:
Oh mom, I got good water.
SARAH:
Oh my feet.
-Oh.
-Here you go.
This is some water.
Here, mom.
(Sarah panting)
DAVE:
Now drink up, come on.
Looks like they must have
evacuated.
CLAY:
Mm, mm.
(Sighing)
Oh, I've heard about these.
Clay. Clay, give me that.
Oh my God, there's a dial tone.
(Phones ringing)
Yeah, we're sending
that rescue team now.
Mhmm. Yeah.
911, what is the nature
of your emergency?
Uh, hi, hi.
Uh, my name is Sarah Laughlin,
and um, my family needs help.
We've been running from the
fire and--
and we're on service road
off of um...
-Sullivan Road.
-Of the Sullivan Road
in a house,
and we need to be picked up.
Are you in imminent danger,
ma'am?
Well, well,
not right the second.
But I'm eight months pregnant
and I'm scared I might
lose the baby.
OPERATOR: (On phone)
Pregnant, um?
-Yeah.
-OPERATOR: Okay um...
Uh, I see your address here as
77 Turner Road.
Does that sound right?
SARAH: (On phone)
Yeah, I think so.
Okay.
Let me see if there's
a rescue team in your area.
Thank you. (Chuckles)
-What'd they say?
-They would see if there's a
rescue team.
(Chuckling)
I can't believe
this phone works!
I mean...
Who even used landlines anymore?
-Old people.
-Thank God for old people.
-OPERATOR: Ma'am?
-Yes, hi.
OPERATOR: (On phone)
Okay. It looks like
there's a rescue team
doing a sweep of the area now.
They should be able
to get to you
in about 45 minutes
to an hour.
- Alright?
-Thank you.
Hang tight, Sarah, okay.
SARAH: (On phone)
We will. We'll be here.
Thank you so much.
Yeah.
Sarah.
Did they say they'll come?
-In how long?
-45 minutes to an hour.
CLAY:
Yes!
Oh! Oh, we're getting out of
here.
CAL FIRE DISPATCH: (On phone)
This is Cal Fire Dispatch.
This is
Emergency Services, Colbert.
I need a rescue team out
to 77 Turner Road
as fast as possible, okay.
CAL FIRE DISPATCH: (On phone)
Great.
I'll add it to the route.
Thank you.
(Sighs)
(Phones ringing)
911, what is the nature
of your emergency?
Oh God, thank God
for old people.
(Chuckles)
SARAH:
We did so good.
Mmm.
Hey, I'm gonna check out
that truck
-and see if it runs.
-Hey Dave, don't go outside.
Don't go outside.
Okay,
they're gonna be here soon.
You just hang tight.
It's just in case, Sarah.
Who's hungry?
-I'm hungry.
-CLAY: You want food, mom.
(Sighs)
Well, they're gonna be here
in a while, so um...
Oh, mom.
-Cookies!
-Cookies.
CLAY:
Cookie.
(Sarah chuckles)
(Grunts)
(Keys jingling)
Oh, sh*t.
-I'm taking these home.
-SARAH: Oh, Clay.
CLAY:
These are so good still.
We need to go right now.
-What?
-SARAH: Why?
The rescue crew is on it's way.
We don't have 45 minutes,
Sarah.
Sorry.
SARAH:
Hold on, let me see
if there's an update.
DAVE:
Sarah,
the fire's getting closer.
Sarah!
-Sarah!
-There's no dial tone.
CLAY:
No.
Is the car working?
I'm sorry.
Laced through the wire,
it won't start.
CLAY:
Mom, dad!
No...
No, no, no, no...
Listen, we're gonna be okay,
alright. Sarah?
Look. Look, look, look.
-SARAH: Oh no, no, no, no.
-DAVE: Listen to me.
Listen to me.
We have to go, okay.
No, no, no, don't sit down,
we have to go.
-(Cries) I can't, Dave!
-Please look at me.
-No!
-Please. Please you gotta hang
-in there with me, alright.
-No!
Dave, there's nowhere to go!
Alright, where are we...
Where are we? Right...
Okay, we're in this area
over here.
That's Sullivan Road
right there.
-Ahan.
-Okay, that's it. That's it.
Right there.
That's Chilton Lake.
It's that where we used
to fish with grandpa?
Yeah.
They got boats there.
-Oh yeah.
-Remember?
We could take a boat out
to the middle of the lake,
and just hide out from the fire,
until it passes.
How far is it?
I don't know. Maybe a mile,
a mile and a half.
You think you can make it?
Yeah, what choice do I have?
Alright, okay.
(Fire crackling)
DAVE:
Careful, careful.
Keep moving.
CLAY:
It's okay.
Keep running.
(Sarah screams)
No, Dave!
(Dave screams)
Hang on, dad!
-Hang on, dad, we're coming!
-Aah!
-We're coming.
-Dave, are you okay?
Oh my God!
-CLAY: Dad!
-Aah!
CLAY:
Dad, are you okay?
SARAH:
Baby...
Are you okay.
Baby, what's--
Oh my God.
Give me a hand, uh.
SARAH:
Give me that backpack!
(Dave grunting)
It was so close!
Dave, you okay?
DAVE:
It's bad, guys.
I can't-- I can't...
I'm not gonna be able to walk.
Let me get the first-aid kit.
Hold on.
-I'll be right back.
-SARAH: Where are you going?
CLAY:
I'll be right back!
-SARAH: Clay!
-DAVE: Listen to me.
-SARAH: Don't worry.
-DAVE: Listen to me...
SARAH:
You'll be okay.
Listen.
Ssh.
I'm not going to be able
to walk, okay.
-Dave...
-You just-- you guys go.
-Dave...
-You guys go.
-SARAH: Dave, take this.
-DAVE: I got-- No...
We are not leaving you, baby.
-You're gonna be fine.
-I can't.
(Panting)
-SARAH: You'll be fine.
-DAVE: I can't.
Look what I got. I saw a boat.
(Dave shouts)
-DAVE: What are you doing
-CLAY: Splint.
It's a splint.
(Shouts)
Give me the tape,
give me the tape.
SARAH:
I'm sorry, baby. It's okay.
Hold my hands.
You're gonna be okay.
You're gonna be okay.
Dad, you remember
what you said?
You remember what you said?
Sshh, breathe.
A little duct tape
can fix everything.
-DAVE: Okay.
-Alright?
(Chuckles)
CLAY:
Nothing like a little duct tape.
Alright, alright?
DAVE:
Ah. How's that feel, dad?
(Dave screams)
-CLAY: Okay, I got it.
-Mmm.
SARAH:
(Indistinct speech) Hurry.
I got you. Alright, I got you.
I got you.
(Dave groans)
SARAH:
Baby, very soon, baby.
(Shouts)
We'll get you out of here, okay.
Okay, okay.
(Shouts)
SARAH:
We gotta move, now!
CLAY:
We're almost there.
It's this way.
(Sarah coughing)
SARAH:
Dave, I'm right with you.
(Dave groans)
SARAH: You can do it!
DAVE:
Where is it?
CLAY:
There!
I saw it over there.
(Dave groaning)
I can't...
-I can't, I can't.
-SARAH: You can do it!
-I don't think, I can't.
-You can do it.
-I can't.
-SARAH: We are gonna do this,
and we are going to do this
together!
CLAY:
Hey dad, it's right there.
There's a boat.
(Sarah chuckles)
-Come on.
-SARAH: Okay, baby.
CLAY:
Almost there.
-SARAH: We're almost there.
-CLAY: Almost there, dad.
(Coughing)
CLAY:
We're almost there, dad.
(Dave groaning)
CLAY:
Right there, right there.
DAVE:
Okay, okay.
CLAY:
Just put your hand...
Okay.
We're here.
(Dave groaning)
CLAY:
In the boat.
Okay, careful.
(Dave screams)
-CLAY: Dad!
-SARAH: Oh, baby.
CLAY:
You okay?
SARAH:
Clay.
-I need help.
-DAVE: Guys, move it.
We better move fast, come on.
CLAY:
Push it. Push!
Come on,
get in the boat now.
(Screaming)
(Grunting)
SARAH:
Are you okay, baby?
(Panting)
Yeah.
(Coughing)
(Panting)
Hey, honey,
put the blanket on your dad.
CLAY:
Okay.
Here you go, dad.
You okay?
You gotta make it, alright.
We're almost there.
Hang in there.
SARAH:
Oh my God.
-DAVE: What?
-SARAH: Oh my God.
Mom, what's wrong?
Oh, no.
CLAY:
What?
SARAH:
Uh, uh! I think--
-CLAY: What?
-SARAH: I think...
I think my water just broke.
It means I'm gonna have a
certain
type of contraction soon.
Oh my God.
(Phone beeping)
What? What?
What was that?
CLAY:
Mom.
I got service!
It must be connected to the--
the-- the cellphone tower.
SARAH:
Here, give it to me.
Give it to me.
(Taking deep breaths)
(Phone ringing)
(Sniffles)
911, what is the nature
of your emergency?
SARAH: (On phone)
Hi.
Hi, my name is Sarah Laughlin.
I called earlier.
I'm eight months pregnant.
Yes, yes. You spoke with me.
I sent the team out to you.
SARAH: (On phone)
We had to leave.
The house caught fire.
We're now at Chilton Lake.
We're in a boat,
and my husband broke his leg,
and he can't walk,
and I think
my water just broke.
Just...
Oh, hold on one moment.
I'm-- I'm gonna place you
on hold, okay.
SARAH:
Okay.
Hey, hey, it's gonna be okay.
(Sobs)
SARAH:
It's gonna be okay.
Cal Fire, this is
emergency services Colbert.
Do you have a rescue team
out near Chilton Lake?
CAL FIRE DISPATCH 2: (On phone)
Yes, we do.
I have a trapped family
on a boat.
A man with a broken leg,
and a woman in labor.
CAL FIRE DISPATCH 2: (On phone)
We're having a hard time
getting communication to them.
If they can meet them
at the south-side entrance,
Oh, okay.
CAL FIRE DISPATCH 2: (On phone)
They can get help.
Thanks.
Ma'am?
SARAH: (On phone)
Yes.
OPERATOR 2:
There is a team
on the south-side entrance.
If you can get to them,
they can get you help.
Is that possible?
(Sighing)
Do you think you could help,
Clay?
I got this.
No, no.
I have faith, baby.
Me too, mom. I love you.
There must be hundreds
of fire victims out there.
(Sniffles)
It's horrible.
(Crying)
I've got a call after call
from trapped, scared people
I haven't been able to help
and you know,
I've never felt this
in my entire life.
And I--
I know it's not about me,
but it's just that
I've never done anything
like this before,
and it's only my second week
on the job,
so I just...
I just really wish
I could help you.
SARAH: (On phone)
What's your name?
Kayla.
Well, Kayla, me and my family,
we're gonna get through this.
Okay?
KAYLA: (On phone)
I just--
I just wish I could do more.
Look, I'm gonna give you
my cell number.
Call me direct if you need
anything else.
Mom, dad, we're here!
(Indistinct speech)
(Pants, grunts)
Oh God!
(Dave coughing)
SARAH:
Oh no.
DAVE:
I want to stay with my wife,
right?
I want to stay with my wife.
Relax, it will be okay.
(Grunting)
Sarah! Sarah!
No.
-DAVE: Take care of your mom.
-Be careful. Yeah, I will.
-Take care of your mom.
-I will, dad.
(Sarah groaning)
-CLAY: Mom, mom?
-Can we get a doctor?
She's about to have a baby!
(Sarah coughing)
How far apart are her
contractions?
I-- I don't know.
Is she gonna be okay?
I mean, she's only
eight months pregnant.
Need to get some oxygen in here.
-It's okay, baby.
DOCTOR:
You don't how far apart
the contractions are?
No, but is it-- is it too soon
for her to give birth?
We'll find out soon enough.
Just keep breathing deeply,
ma'am.
I'm Doctor Patel.
I'm the on-call obstetrician.
-Hey, let's get her to delivery.
-Oh, alright.
CLAY:
Mom, it's gonna be okay.
SARAH:
It's okay, baby. I love you!
Oh God.
(Sarah grunting)
(Indistinct announcement
in background)
KAYLA:
Yes.
Mhmm.
Help is on the way, okay.
Yes, ma'am.
(Phone rings)
-KAYLA: (On phone) Hello?
- Hi.
Um, is this the lady from 911?
KAYLA: (On phone)
Yes.
I just wanted you to know
we um...
made it to the hospital.
Oh my God. They made it!
Oh my God.
CLAY: (On phone)
My mom's giving birth.
Like, right now.
(Screams)
God!
CLAY: (On phone)
And my dad, he's in surgery.
I think he's gonna be okay.
I just wanted to thank you.
My family couldn't have made
it out without you.
DR. PATEL:
Good job, Sarah.
(Pants)
CLAY: (On phone)
Sorry, I gotta go.
They have news
about my little sister.
Alright.
Okay, bye.
CLAY: (On phone)
Thank you.
(Sighing)
Your mom just gave birth.
You want to meet
your new sister?
Is she okay?
She's perfectly healthy.
So is your mom.
Yes.
Yes.
(Nurse chuckles)
Yes, absolutely.
(Chuckles)
(Monitor beeping)
Hey, mom.
Hi.
How are you feeling?
Tired.
-Yeah.
-How is she?
She's perfect.
-Really?
-Perfectly healthy.
Uh...
DR. PATEL:
She truly is a miracle.
(Sarah chuckling)
Hi, Hannah.
She's so tiny.
Can I get you anything?
No, I'm okay.
Thank you.
Hey, you okay?
Hey.
-DAVE: Huh, you okay?
-I'm okay.
Look.
You have a daughter now.
Meet Hannah.
You ready to hold her?
(Dave sighing)
Yeah.
(Sighs)
She's adorable.
SARAH:
Isn't she perfect?
(Baby cries)
You did good.
We all did good.
She's so precious.
Hey there, sweet girl.
What a crazy way
to the enter the world, huh?
(Yawns)
DAVE:
What do you guys think?
My dad left us this property
in his will.
-He owned this?
-What?
Yeah, he bought this
for my mom,
before she got sick.
Was his dream
to build a house here.
I thought this is where
we could start over.
What do you think?
(Chuckles)
SARAH:
Are you serious?
I can't believe you
didn't tell me.
(Chuckling)
DAVE:
Want to build a house
with me, Clay?
Yeah.
(Chuckles)
DAVE:
Huh, what do you think, Hannah?
Hannah-banana, hmm?
Look at you guys.
(Laughing)
The sun went up at daybreak
And it was hot like hell
This house
is holding secrets
it'll never tell
I glanced in my rear view,
but I could barely see
And everything
was left behind
Who we used to be
I ain't one for running,
but this time I can say
I ain't one for giving up,
it just worked out that way
I cannot imagine
ever going back
Heartache and frustration
Memories fade to black
Picking up the pieces
And finally getting right
Gathering up
what's left of me
Holding on real tight
I ain't one for giving up,
it just worked out that way
You can't tell me
how to feel
Till you've been left alone
When you're back home sifting
through ashes and bone
Ashes and bone
You can call it fool's gold,
but I can't let it go
Now, I'm back home sifting
through ashes and bone
Ashes and bone
Ashes and bone
You can't tell me
how to feel
Till you've been left alone
When you're back home sifting
through ashes and bone
Ashes and bone
Ashes and bone
Ashes and bone
