Silo (2019) Movie Script
1
My dad used to
say that we work in acres,
not hours.
He was proud of that.
He'd get up before
the sun did and...
go get onto some tractor
that was probably gonna
break down before the day ended.
And I just... I knew
that this meant something.
And I want to know why...
something so... selfless
and something so simple...
could go south so quick.
All right.
It's fine, Georgia.
I'm sure it
happened in his sleep.
Hey, can you read me the
medication schedule from
yesterday?
It... it should be
there on his chart.
I will speak to
Cynthia when I get there,
just read me the
medication schedule, please.
You are are gonna Kill
yourself singing that Satanic
music.
It ain't about the Devil.
All right, you know what?
Just don't touch anything.
I am on my way in, and I'm
gonna be there in a few minutes,
but if you could calm down for
me and I'm gonna call you back.
No, Geor... you know what?
Hang on a second.
Just one second.
Thanks, Don.
Well, folks, we've got
another hot week ahead of us.
The high pressure system is
continuing to work its way
north, bringing with it
sunny days and high temps.
Mid-day highs are
expected to reach 105 degrees.
Nighttime lows...
Got your biscuit!
Some shower
activity is expected in the
southern region of the
county later in the week but...
- Have you seen my hat?
- Thanks a lot, man.
- How's he doing?
- Clara, where's my hat?!
He's on one.
Smell like you had a good night.
Ah, closing down
the Black Horse,
- you know.
- Ah.
- I'll catch you out there.
- All right, I'll be in the back.
What?
Why don't
you eat your breakfast?
- No, no, no, I...
- S... I got to go.
Stanley needs a load.
Stanley's
been gone for 20 years.
Wh...
No, that... that...
That's not right.
Where's Clara?!
Just sit back
and relax, will you, please?
But I...
You want me
to change the channel?
No! No, no, no, no.
Heavy sun, I've got
to keep an eye on it.
Makes the air heavy too.
Somebody's
coming so I gotta go.
...Expected in the
southern regions of the county
later in the week but it's
unlikely to reach Columbia or.
New Hope regions.
Well, did
you call the family?
Can you please calm down
and don't touch anything?
I will be there in a second.
I'm just dropping Kody
off and I'll be there,
all right?
Can you just hold
on, for Heaven's sake?
I... all right, I... I gotta go.
Hey, Kody!
Kody!
I need to know if you're gonna
be home for dinner tonight.
Do you even feel
anything when they go?
Excuse me?
Kody!
It... it's my job!
I can't...
You drive two miles outside
of town just to avoid his gas
station.
Morning!
How y'all doin'?
Oh, every
day's a new blessing.
Well...
Kodiak tell you how
he drove the sprayer yesterday?
Practically drives itself.
First time Daddy
let me drive it,
I took out a fence.
Sounds about right.
Well, I'm proud of you, Kody.
That sounds real good.
Lucha here?
Uh, he's over by
the bay, I think.
Great, thanks.
Bye to you!
God...
He's a good kid.
He's just a kid, you know?
- Yeah.
- Takes a little while.
How's your dad doing today?
About the same.
Just keeps getting
stuck in the past.
It ain't easy.
It is what it is.
It's gonna take a little
work getting used to it but...
I gotta go, Junior.
I'm late and I got a new girl
who who can't tie her own laces.
I'll see ya.
See ya.
I don't, uh, guess you know
anybody that could maybe help me
out with him, just a
couple hours a day.
So I can get out in
the fields without,
you know...
Yeah, I... I don't know, I
was just... just if you know
- somebody...
- Yeah, yeah, no.
I'll ask some of the girls.
Hey, Jun, a word of advice:
When he goes back to
the past like that...
just let him stay there.
Yeah, we just... we just talked
and talked and that was pretty
much it.
Then I dropped her
off and went home.
That's all you did?
Swear to God.
I spent like 30
bucks on Chili's, man.
That's way too much.
I even wore that damn
red button-up shirt.
That thing is ugly.
It was m... that's disgusting.
But man...
what a tease, dude.
She just kept talking
about Bobby dumping her.
Wait...
did she even know it was a date?
What are you talking about?
- Of course she did.
- Did you ask her on a date?
I paid for the damn meal.
You boys come on, we're
gonna prep the sweeper.
You got it.
Sorry, buddy.
I think you're
friendzoned on that one.
Goddamn it.
Well, shit.
What's
the problem, Sutt?
Bin five's goes sour.
Earl's going to want a
couple thousand bushels by noon.
Well, I think we got enough
in bin three to keep him happy.
You boys are on
maintenance this morning.
No sprayer?
You know the difference
between young and old?
What's that?
Young still thinks
they've got a choice in life.
All right, y'all go grease the
corn head and I'll come find you
in a minute.
I'm only going
'cause I want to.
Shut up, Luch.
Hey, somebody's
gotta mow that back half!
Got it!
We're gonna have to
knock that out of there.
Let's
give it a little bit.
See if it can air out.
You remember when
you were their age?
Hardly.
Well, I do.
You are growing into
your daddy's boots, Junior.
I'll give you that.
Well, let's take a look at this.
Look, it's
gonna happen, it's fine.
I don't
wanna call his family.
Okay,
I'll make the call.
High today of 97 degrees,
cooling later in the evening...
All right, look, you gotta be
real careful with this or your
- finger'll come right off.
- Wait a second, there's
- fucking spiders.
- Dude, who cares?
What do you mean "Who cares?'
Y... you're like the only person
in this state that cares about
- spiders.
- Are you kidding me?
- Have you been bit by one?
- Just... just watch.
- All right.
- Two hands.
Pull this out.
That's gonna release the
mechanism so we can push this
bad boy right on up.
All right?
Oh, clever.
Yeah, that's real clever.
Well, hi, Miss Barbara.
How are you doing today?
You all right?
Now, this is your new room.
What do you think?
- Pretty.
- It's all right, yeah?
What do you think of your view?
I hear you like...
There you are.
Dude, so heavy!
Shit, yeah!
Shut up, wait
for the transition.
Ready?
Holy shit, man!
You sound like friggin'
chainsaw when you sing.
I still gotta work
on the versus but...
I'm just saying, you... you
always sound good when we play.
This is mean, man.
Man, it's
gonna crush live.
I don't
know about that.
I'm telling you, Ben
could get us a slot at VFW.
And then all we have to do is
get a... a demo to his uncle and
bam.
Seriously?
Who's gonna come see us live?
We could open for someone.
I don't know, I mean, what's...
What's the name of that band,
that hardcore band
that Riser signed?
- Um...
- Bricklayer?
Yeah, yeah!
Holy shit, that
would be crazy, man!
They bring a... they
bring a big audience.
A... all we gotta do is
practice and we're gonna be...
Dude, it's one thing to
track this shit at home.
But doing it live?
There's no way.
I told you to quit
listening to her, man.
Your dad would love that.
Dude, ain't about that.
I just don't
think it's that good.
"I don't think it's that good."
Well, I think you're wrong, man.
Hey, boys!
Gonna need ya out here!
We walkin' it?
Well, it ain't
gonna break itself up.
Wait, wait, wait wait.
What... what are we doin'?
Grain clumps
together when it's sour,
won't come out the auger.
Uh, d... do y'all... do
y'all do that a lot?
Just with the newbies.
I didn't know you
Mendosa boys were so soft.
We ain't... we ain't soft.
Hey, Daddy.
I'm sorry I'm late.
You wanna grab some grub?
Go get us some Eddie's?
Hey Daddy, is
that good with you?
- Hey, m... come on, stop, man!
- What?
Did I ever tell you boys...
about the time I spent on
the USS Gridley during Vietnam?
You, uh... you were in the Navy?
Sure was.
First time I
ever saw the ocean.
You talk about
something big and scary...
You good?
Just don't look down.
Most of the kids on
that ship had never seen the
ocean, either.
We were... farm boys.
There was this one kid.
Man, he was a mess.
Could not keep a
meal in his stomach.
Never did figure out
what he was so afraid of.
Maybe...
Daddy!
Maybe something
happened to him when he was
a kid around water or something.
Navy don't seem like a great
place for someone like that.
No, it isn't.
We were sailing
halfway around the world.
And this kid made it a
living hell for every one of us.
He would not shut up.
Dad!
It started
spreading to the rest of us.
Fear like that's contagious.
So what'd you guys do?
What do
you think we did?
Threw him overboard!
We pulled him back in.
And I'll tell you what, he never
made a sound the whole time on
that ship.
Daddy!
What are you doing?
I've been calling for you.
You didn't hear me?
Stanley needs a load.
I told you this
morning, Stanley...
Okay.
I forgot, you're right, yeah.
Uh, you better get
it for him, then.
I guess after
thrashing around in that water,
the deck of that ship
felt as good as dry land.
Kody!
Kody, help!
Help me, Kody!
Sutter!
Kody!
Kody!
No!
Kody, don't go!
Kody,!
Kody!
Hang on!
I'm sinking.
Oh, my God.
Oh, my God.
I can't move!
Get something!
- Come on, grab... grab this!
- Don't come down here!
- I can't move my legs.
- Reach!
Reach!
Come on, grab it!
Help!
Shit.
I can't... I
can't get my legs up.
Help, please, Kody!
Help me!
Shit.
Shit, shit, shit.
Help me!
I'm sinking, Lucha.
Lucha!
Lucha!
Kody, come on,
come on, pull yourself out!
Pull, pull!
Come on, Kody!
Pull yourself out, man, come on!
Pull!
I can't do it!
- I'm slipping, I'm slipping!
- Kody!
Don't let go!
Help!
Help!
Help!
Help!
They're going down!
They're in there!
Turn it off!
Help!
Shut it off!
Shut it off!
Junior, they were in there!
Help, come on!
What happened?
Lucha, what happened?
What happened, what
happened, what happened?
Sutter, he, uh...
Sutter went under.
You got your cell phone?
- Call 911.
- Yes, sir.
Kody?
All right, don't move.
Went under...
Sutt?
Sutt?
Sutt?
Sutt?!
- Junior, we gotta get him!
- Hey, stop!
Kody! Kody!
- Junior,!
- Don't move!
Oh, God.
Junior, I'm going under.
No, no, no, Kody, stop!
Stop, stop!
Okay?
Just right here.
Right here.
Don't move, not
even a little bit.
It's 44.50.
Do you see
something you like?
Code three,
10-25 to Adler Grain and Feed.
We have two individuals
involved in a grain engulfment.
One of them
appears to be a minor.
Repeat, 10-25 to
Adler Grain and Feed.
Bill, you on this?
On it.
All right.
I'll head straight there.
You bring the engine.
Make sure you grab a
couple of O2 tanks.
- Frank...
- What, Bill?
I think
it might be Avery's boy.
Get the engine, Bill.
- Can't...
- Can't you just pull me up?
I could come down in there and
get you but I don't think that
this grain's stable.
I think I'll just push
it on top of you, okay?
So we're just gonna
wait until help comes.
- Junior, I can't...
- Can't breathe.
I can't breathe.
All right, all right.
Where's your inhaler?
It's... it's in my pocket.
That's gonna be a problem.
Get my mom.
Get my mom, Junior.
Okay, sit tight.
It's gonna be all right.
Hey, Jun, what's going on?
Hello, Jun?
Now, um,
everybody's okay and he's okay...
Wait.
What... what are you saying?
What's going on?
There's been an accident.
He's okay.
He's okay right now.
Junior, what are
you talking about?
It's Ko... it's
Kody, he's in the grain bin.
He's...
he's in a bin?!
Junior, what happened?!
I... I don't know.
They were working in
here, I don't know,
I don't know.
Listen to me.
You're gonna need to
bring him his inhaler.
No, h... I... Kody should
have his inhaler with him.
I know.
I know, but he can't
get to it right now.
He, uh... it's under the corn.
Val?
Val?
All right, she's on her way.
What's
going on around here?!
I'm sorry.
What?!
I'm sorry, Adler.
Well, what is it?!
Which bin?
We got a fire?!
Come on, come on.
Heads up!
Frank, is that you?!
Afraid so.
The sky's falling!
All right.
So Kody, I want you to
tie this under your arms,
okay?
Do it slow.
Are you gonna...
you gonna... are you
gonna pull me out?
No.
It's like I told you before, the
pressure from the grain's too
much.
That's to keep you
from going under.
No shit.
All right, tie it off!
Frank, we're gonna
need a grain tube!
On the way!
What's that?!
Fall
Creek's on the way!
Now get up here, Junior!
I can't leave him!
And I can't help with
you the hell in the way!
All right, I'm going up, okay?
But I'm not leaving you.
I... I'm with you,
everybody's with you.
Frank!
Is that you up there?!
Here!
Jesus, I hope he's not drunk.
Go lock down the road.
And... and Burges, no need to
take the Lord's name in vain.
Yes, ma'am.
- Welch, you're with me.
- Yes, ma'am.
How are you doing
there, Mr. Adler?
Fire in number five.
There's no fire, sir.
Why don't you go
with Deputy Welch?
You remember him?
I believe he used to
play ball with Junior,
- Right?
- Yeah.
- Junior?
- Yeah, that's right,
that's right.
- You remember?
- Where's Junior?
Come with me,
I'll take you to him.
How are you doing there, son?
Were you in there?
Easy.
You're a Mendosa boy, right?
You want us to call
your... your family for you?
No.
I'll call.
Okay.
Why don't you go
wait in the shop, huh?
We'll send them your way.
M... ma'am.
Ma... ma'am, you gotta
stay behind the lines!
- You gotta stay...
- No!
What happened
down there, Junior?
Sutter went under.
How long?
Hey, Kody's up, he's breathing,
Val's bringing his inhaler...
- How long?!
- 10 or 15 minutes.
- So what do we do about that?
- We gotta focus on Kody now.
Yeah, what do we
do about Sutter?
Yeah, where the hell are you?
- I'm in.
- Make it four.
- I need that O2.
- Copy.
I need you on that
while I'm in there.
I can't risk a spark
with all that dust.
Bad day, huh, Kodiak?
Listen, right now, the fine
men of the Fall Creek Fire.
Department are tearing down
Route 10 at 90 miles an hour in
a truck that
weighs 65,000 pounds.
And on that truck, they
got one of them grain tubes.
And we're gonna
lower it in here,
insert it around your body,
and it's gonna save your life.
Frank, what do
we do until then?
We keep you breathing.
Mrs. Rose, n...
- No, I need to see Kody.
- No, Mrs. Rose, it's not safe.
But I need to see Kody!
There's not enough space up
there for you and we need you to
stay out of the firemen's way.
But I've got his inhaler.
Okay, great, you need
to give that to Bill.
But he's my son!
And right now, you're
not helping him any.
Go on, Bill.
We'll take good
care of him, Val.
I promise.
Just watch Frank.
Please.
Just watch him.
Don't worry.
They say lightning
don't strike twice.
They say a lot
of stupid things.
Frank, it's getting t... tight.
I can't... I can't breathe.
That's the corn
pressing in on your lungs.
Grain is like cement.
I ain't gonna shit
you, Kody, it's bad.
We got you covered.
We're gonna get some
oxygen down to you.
That should help.
- Bill!
- Ah, Jun!
- What do you need?
- Set that there.
- Frank in there?
- Yup.
- What do you need from me?
- Uh, well...
Do you need me to do anything?
Well, uh, we're gonna need
some lights soon if you wanna...
- You got it.
- All right.
Here, Frank!
'Bout time!
How are we
gonna make the handoff?
Hold tight, Kody.
Hey, is he all right?
D... did Kody get his inhaler?
Yeah, they're
gonna get it to him.
Jun, what happened in there?
Listen, Sutter
went under, okay?
- Sutter went under?
- Yeah.
What's up, you're
just gonna goof around?
I mean, where were you, Jun?!
I don't know, I
don't know, I don't know!
Just stay here.
I'm trying to help.
Shovel!
A little tight up here.
You always
gotta be such a dick?
Hold this.
Let me tell you something:
I'm a man who's known people.
I have known other human beings
in a deep and intimate way.
And never, not once, have I
looked into another person's
soul and not seen that secretly,
that person was a dick.
Now, when I get down in
there, you hand that to me.
Now!
Hold it!
All right, now.
Don't you move.
You let me do the work.
Here she comes!
Reach out and grab it.
Good boy.
Now, the mask.
Keep them breaths
quick and shallow.
Them deep breaths
let the corn press in.
Bill!
Gimme an ETA on Fall Creek!
You're doing good.
Lucha.
Lucha!
Shit!
- Hey, uh...
- Miss Rose, uh...
Hey.
Hey, you all right?
Yeah, uh...
yeah, I'm... I'm okay.
What you listening to?
It's, uh...
it's Kody's.
You know, in, uh...
in the four years of
him playing basketball,
I... I don't ev... I don't
ever think he scored a point.
And, uh, he's about the
only person I ever met that...
struck out in tee-ball.
I was always good at
those things, Miss Rose, but...
sometimes, I wish I
had what he's got.
Thank you.
I tried to save him.
I swear I did.
[... I... I tr... I
tried everything I could.
I know,
I know that you did.
I tried to pull and pull and
it was... it was too strong.
It was like tugging
against the ocean, you know?
- It was...
- I... I know!
But if you hadn't climbed out
of there and shouted for help...
He's still in there!
I mean, is...
is he gonna be okay?
Lucha.
What happened in there?
I don't...
I don't know.
They... they... they tell us to
go in there 'cause the corn
wouldn't come out and, uh...
and that
thing turned on and they...
they just went under.
Where was Junior
when this happened?
He was... I mean...
he was... he was n... he was on
the ground by the time I got up.
Mama!
I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry.
What's next?
How do I get out?
You just hang in
there, all right?
How much longer?
Real soon, Kody.
You still playing music?
I once told your mama you'd
be the next Eddie Van Halen.
When we get out of here, you
gotta play me some new tunes,
all right?
She hates you, you know.
I know.
Fall
Creek's about 15 out!
Just keep that on.
Hey, Bill!
Come here.
They're about 15 minutes away.
I know.
I heard.
All that corn pressing
in on him ain't good, Bill.
Well, what about a
makeshift coffer dam.
Then we don't have to
wait on Fall Cre...
That ain't the problem.
The problem is a 10-foot
wall of corn between us.
It's an avalanche
waiting to happen.
It just needs
someone to push on it.
- Shit.
- Now, I think, if I can get
a pulley up under that
roof, we could lower in.
Have someone grab the rope
access kit from the engine.
- I'm on it.
- All right.
All right, Kody!
That grain tube is almost here.
How you feeling?
It's
getting really heavy.
I'm gonna be down there
with you real soon, buddy.
Make it quick, Bill!
Hey, Donald.
Hey, Jun.
How's he doing?
He's been a bit restless.
Okay.
All right, I've
got it from here.
- Thank you.
- All right.
Hey, Jun?
I'm really sorry about
what happened with Sutter.
Okay, I... I
appreciate it, Tommy.
Anytime.
Wait, what happened to Sut...
Hey, nothing.
No, that fella
said somebody...
No, it's
after quitting time.
Sutter's, um...
he's probably down at the
Black Horse having a cold beer.
Pretty waitress
down at the Black Horse.
Knows
how to tell a joke.
Clara?
- Oh, yeah.
- That's right.
I oughta marry her one day.
Oh, you will, I promise you.
- Where is sh... w...
- Where's... Clar?!
Where's everybody?!
Daddy.
I'm right here.
N... n... you're my son.
You and me, we're...
Did... did I do something wrong?
No, Daddy.
- No, I... I did...
- No.
I did something wrong.
N... n... you... you're my son and
you should tell me the truth!
What did I do?
Nothing, nothing.
- Come here, have a seat.
- W...
Just have a seat,
get comfortable.
Go and have a seat, Daddy.
Good, good.
You have
to focus, Kody.
You can control it if you focus.
I can't.
I'm trying.
You're gonna have to try.
Hey.
Look at me.
Try to breathe like me.
I'm gonna...
I'm gonna... I'm gonna drown!
I'm gonna
drown just like my dad.
Why didn't
you just tell me?
I mean, he's confused.
Why didn't you just say that?
Because I was
right there and I let him do it.
I watched him do it.
Why was he even out there?
What was he doing?
He
Thought he was working.
He thought he was doing
something he'd done 1,000 times
before.
It's...
You just let him
stay in the past.
- This is my fault.
- No, it's not.
I mean, it is and it isn't.
It's everybody's but nobody's.
We're meek, ain't we?
Meek against all of this.
What are you talking about?
Do you ever ask
yourself why, Junior?
Why your mama had to
die the way she did?
Why your daddy's slipping
away and you gotta watch it?
I always just kinda
figured, you know, that's...
that's not really
for us to know.
You sound like everybody else.
Everybody says "Have faith.
God knows why."
Do you know
what I always say to them?
If there is a God, He's got...
Well, He's got a
mean sense of humor.
Or a mind about like your
dad, because you know what?
The why...
The why beats me down
until I feel so numb,
I can't feel anything anymore.
I mean...
why?!
All of this, again!
And that man is the only
one who can save my son!
Listen to me.
I know, you know, and
Frank knows... he knows...
That shouldn't have let
Avery drive that night.
What the hell does that have
to do with anything right now?
Right now, Frank is the
only person who can save Kody.
And right now, sweetheart,
that's the only thing that
matters.
I don't even know
my own son anymore.
You know, I almost
lost one of my girls.
You ever know that?
It was the
scariest day of my life.
I never knew if I even
wanted to have kids.
Some things have a way
of deciding themselves.
I was scared
shitless of being a dad.
I mean, puking in the
sink kind of scared.
Little Emma, she come out fine.
She was screaming bloody
murder when the doc slapped her.
But Sarah...
she wasn't... she
wasn't breathing.
They called it a
"spontaneous pneumothorax."
Collapsed lung.
And then they raced her out of
there before I knew what was
going on.
She... she was in critical
condition for three long days.
The longest days.
Your dad...
he was a damn good
friend to me, Kodiak.
Man, he saw me at my worst.
I wasn't eating or sleeping.
But he stayed with me in that
hospital hallway three long
days.
He wasn't gonna leave 'til we
knew Sarah was gonna be okay.
And I'm gonna get
you out of here, Kody.
You hear me?
I'm gonna get you out of here!
See?
I told you they'd be here.
It's almost over now.
Frank?
They need to talk to ya!
I'll talk to 'em
when they get up here!
They're cutting into
the bin to relieve the pressure!
It's almost over.
I'll be right back.
And
find me a hole to cut.
As long as you get that stuff
get that ladder up
there on top of that bin, we're
gonna get that kid out of there.
Hey!
- You Captain Asshole?!
- Excuse me?
Who in the hell are you?
You need to have your
boys hold up for a second.
The situation in there
ain't as simple as it seems.
- You're the New Hope chief?
- Yeah.
The boy got a
breathing condition or not?
Yeah, we got an inhaler...
Then we've got
no time to waste.
That bin is what,
50,000 bushels?
About half full, right?
That's a million and a
half pounds of corn in there.
That's a lot of
pressure on that kid's lungs.
The kid is
surrounded by unstable corn!
The minute you try and
manipulate it and play God,
it's gonna pour in on him!
He'll be six feet under
before you ever get in there!
You need to lower in from
the roof with a grain tube!
Lower in?!
What the hell are
you talking about?!
We ain't got time for that!
Besides...
I can't be sure you're thinking
clearly given the circumstance.
Circumstance?
What the hell's
that supposed to mean?
It is standard
procedure to drain these things,
get the pressure
off that kid's chest.
Standard procedure's
gonna kill that kid!
You need... you need to
listen to what I'm saying!
Goddamn it!
We are all here for
the same goddamn reason!
Listen!
Frank.
He's right.
You shouldn't be
the lead on this.
Look, you did good,
you got Kody stabilized.
Let him bring him out.
It's just...
it's just too much
for everyone right now.
All right.
But he's wrong.
Come on, Avery.
Come on!
Please.
Avery...
Help!
Help!
An unexpected drop in pressure
tonight as temperatures are
expected to dip as low as 73
degrees in the southern and
central areas of the county...
Who was was that girl?
You don't know her.
Was that Clara?
No.
Clara's not coming back.
It's all right, Junior.
Sun's gone down.
For a while now.
I thought if
something happened...
I don't know, but...
You get out my way,
you dipshit old man!
- Get that asshole away from me!
- I warned you!
We needed to lower in from
the top with the grain tube!
- There wasn't time!
- There was time!
That kid is a
tough son of a bitch!
We're following procedure!
You can shove your goddamn
procedure up your ass, old man!
That kid's dead in
there now because of you!
Stop it!
I don't care...
about any of your protocol!
- Get out of his way!
- Move!
Let him bring
my son back to me!
Move!
I'm not seeing him!
Keep digging.
Dig, dig!
- I can't see him.
- Keep digging!
Follow the rope!
- Kody!
- Keep digging, come on!
He's here.
There!
Keep digging!
Kody!
Just keep digging.
Come on.
Come on.
Come on, kid.
- There he is.
- We got him, we got him.
- He's here, he's here.
- Come on, come on!
We've got him.
Shh, quiet!
He ain't breathing.
He ain't breathing!
Go!
Go!
Come on!
You hang on, buddy.
We're gonna get you.
Pull him out, Frank!
What'd he say?
Say again!
Give it to me.
John.
Give the lady the radio.
Bill.
Bill, what's going on up there?
Where's Kody?
Get up under him.
Hold him.
Come on, now, Kody.
Bill, answer me,
I swear to God!
Come on, now, Kody.
You gotta be strong.
Come on, now!
Code two.
Bill, answer me!
We're gonna get you out now.
Hey, get that grain tube.
Just hang with me.
Bill, I am begging you.
What's going on?
They got him.
They got him, ma'am.
He's breathing.
He's okay.
You okay?
He's okay.
He's okay!
Okay, okay.
You're gonna be fine,
everything's fine.
And up.
Hell of a day, huh, kid?
My dad used to
say that we work in acres,
not hours.
He was proud of that.
He'd get up before
the sun did and...
go get onto some tractor that
was probably gonna break down
before the day ended.
Just working,
working, working, working.
And, uh...
then he'd come in through
that door for dinner time
just... covered in
dirt and grease and...
wore out and sweaty and just
this big ol' grin on his face.
Big ol' smile.
And then he and my mama...
Anyhow, it is that smile that
made me say "This... this is for
me.
This is what I wanna do."
And he used to say
to us, "You know...
people in town may
not think much of us,
but don't worry too
much about that...
'cause they're eating
the food we grow for them."
And I just... I knew
that this meant something.
And I want to know why...
something so... selfless
and something so simple...
could...
could go south so quick.
I d... I don't understand why.
I don't understand why.
I don't understand why...
he can't tell a joke anymore,
I don't understand why...
Kody's daddy got killed
in an automobile accident,
I don't... I don't
understand why...
somebody like Sutter...
I don't understand why.
And it's not sitting well.
And it don't seem right.
These things aren't
meant to make sense to us, Jun.
There's one thing that the Lord
has shown me over the years is
that...
He's got a real curious way of
making good things come from
something bad.
Maybe.
Maybe.
- Dr.
- Davis, telephone, please.
Dr. Davis, telephone, please.
Hey, Mama.
Hey, how you feel?
You okay?
Listen to me.
Your dad would be
so proud of you.
My dad used to
say that we work in acres,
not hours.
He was proud of that.
He'd get up before
the sun did and...
go get onto some tractor
that was probably gonna
break down before the day ended.
And I just... I knew
that this meant something.
And I want to know why...
something so... selfless
and something so simple...
could go south so quick.
All right.
It's fine, Georgia.
I'm sure it
happened in his sleep.
Hey, can you read me the
medication schedule from
yesterday?
It... it should be
there on his chart.
I will speak to
Cynthia when I get there,
just read me the
medication schedule, please.
You are are gonna Kill
yourself singing that Satanic
music.
It ain't about the Devil.
All right, you know what?
Just don't touch anything.
I am on my way in, and I'm
gonna be there in a few minutes,
but if you could calm down for
me and I'm gonna call you back.
No, Geor... you know what?
Hang on a second.
Just one second.
Thanks, Don.
Well, folks, we've got
another hot week ahead of us.
The high pressure system is
continuing to work its way
north, bringing with it
sunny days and high temps.
Mid-day highs are
expected to reach 105 degrees.
Nighttime lows...
Got your biscuit!
Some shower
activity is expected in the
southern region of the
county later in the week but...
- Have you seen my hat?
- Thanks a lot, man.
- How's he doing?
- Clara, where's my hat?!
He's on one.
Smell like you had a good night.
Ah, closing down
the Black Horse,
- you know.
- Ah.
- I'll catch you out there.
- All right, I'll be in the back.
What?
Why don't
you eat your breakfast?
- No, no, no, I...
- S... I got to go.
Stanley needs a load.
Stanley's
been gone for 20 years.
Wh...
No, that... that...
That's not right.
Where's Clara?!
Just sit back
and relax, will you, please?
But I...
You want me
to change the channel?
No! No, no, no, no.
Heavy sun, I've got
to keep an eye on it.
Makes the air heavy too.
Somebody's
coming so I gotta go.
...Expected in the
southern regions of the county
later in the week but it's
unlikely to reach Columbia or.
New Hope regions.
Well, did
you call the family?
Can you please calm down
and don't touch anything?
I will be there in a second.
I'm just dropping Kody
off and I'll be there,
all right?
Can you just hold
on, for Heaven's sake?
I... all right, I... I gotta go.
Hey, Kody!
Kody!
I need to know if you're gonna
be home for dinner tonight.
Do you even feel
anything when they go?
Excuse me?
Kody!
It... it's my job!
I can't...
You drive two miles outside
of town just to avoid his gas
station.
Morning!
How y'all doin'?
Oh, every
day's a new blessing.
Well...
Kodiak tell you how
he drove the sprayer yesterday?
Practically drives itself.
First time Daddy
let me drive it,
I took out a fence.
Sounds about right.
Well, I'm proud of you, Kody.
That sounds real good.
Lucha here?
Uh, he's over by
the bay, I think.
Great, thanks.
Bye to you!
God...
He's a good kid.
He's just a kid, you know?
- Yeah.
- Takes a little while.
How's your dad doing today?
About the same.
Just keeps getting
stuck in the past.
It ain't easy.
It is what it is.
It's gonna take a little
work getting used to it but...
I gotta go, Junior.
I'm late and I got a new girl
who who can't tie her own laces.
I'll see ya.
See ya.
I don't, uh, guess you know
anybody that could maybe help me
out with him, just a
couple hours a day.
So I can get out in
the fields without,
you know...
Yeah, I... I don't know, I
was just... just if you know
- somebody...
- Yeah, yeah, no.
I'll ask some of the girls.
Hey, Jun, a word of advice:
When he goes back to
the past like that...
just let him stay there.
Yeah, we just... we just talked
and talked and that was pretty
much it.
Then I dropped her
off and went home.
That's all you did?
Swear to God.
I spent like 30
bucks on Chili's, man.
That's way too much.
I even wore that damn
red button-up shirt.
That thing is ugly.
It was m... that's disgusting.
But man...
what a tease, dude.
She just kept talking
about Bobby dumping her.
Wait...
did she even know it was a date?
What are you talking about?
- Of course she did.
- Did you ask her on a date?
I paid for the damn meal.
You boys come on, we're
gonna prep the sweeper.
You got it.
Sorry, buddy.
I think you're
friendzoned on that one.
Goddamn it.
Well, shit.
What's
the problem, Sutt?
Bin five's goes sour.
Earl's going to want a
couple thousand bushels by noon.
Well, I think we got enough
in bin three to keep him happy.
You boys are on
maintenance this morning.
No sprayer?
You know the difference
between young and old?
What's that?
Young still thinks
they've got a choice in life.
All right, y'all go grease the
corn head and I'll come find you
in a minute.
I'm only going
'cause I want to.
Shut up, Luch.
Hey, somebody's
gotta mow that back half!
Got it!
We're gonna have to
knock that out of there.
Let's
give it a little bit.
See if it can air out.
You remember when
you were their age?
Hardly.
Well, I do.
You are growing into
your daddy's boots, Junior.
I'll give you that.
Well, let's take a look at this.
Look, it's
gonna happen, it's fine.
I don't
wanna call his family.
Okay,
I'll make the call.
High today of 97 degrees,
cooling later in the evening...
All right, look, you gotta be
real careful with this or your
- finger'll come right off.
- Wait a second, there's
- fucking spiders.
- Dude, who cares?
What do you mean "Who cares?'
Y... you're like the only person
in this state that cares about
- spiders.
- Are you kidding me?
- Have you been bit by one?
- Just... just watch.
- All right.
- Two hands.
Pull this out.
That's gonna release the
mechanism so we can push this
bad boy right on up.
All right?
Oh, clever.
Yeah, that's real clever.
Well, hi, Miss Barbara.
How are you doing today?
You all right?
Now, this is your new room.
What do you think?
- Pretty.
- It's all right, yeah?
What do you think of your view?
I hear you like...
There you are.
Dude, so heavy!
Shit, yeah!
Shut up, wait
for the transition.
Ready?
Holy shit, man!
You sound like friggin'
chainsaw when you sing.
I still gotta work
on the versus but...
I'm just saying, you... you
always sound good when we play.
This is mean, man.
Man, it's
gonna crush live.
I don't
know about that.
I'm telling you, Ben
could get us a slot at VFW.
And then all we have to do is
get a... a demo to his uncle and
bam.
Seriously?
Who's gonna come see us live?
We could open for someone.
I don't know, I mean, what's...
What's the name of that band,
that hardcore band
that Riser signed?
- Um...
- Bricklayer?
Yeah, yeah!
Holy shit, that
would be crazy, man!
They bring a... they
bring a big audience.
A... all we gotta do is
practice and we're gonna be...
Dude, it's one thing to
track this shit at home.
But doing it live?
There's no way.
I told you to quit
listening to her, man.
Your dad would love that.
Dude, ain't about that.
I just don't
think it's that good.
"I don't think it's that good."
Well, I think you're wrong, man.
Hey, boys!
Gonna need ya out here!
We walkin' it?
Well, it ain't
gonna break itself up.
Wait, wait, wait wait.
What... what are we doin'?
Grain clumps
together when it's sour,
won't come out the auger.
Uh, d... do y'all... do
y'all do that a lot?
Just with the newbies.
I didn't know you
Mendosa boys were so soft.
We ain't... we ain't soft.
Hey, Daddy.
I'm sorry I'm late.
You wanna grab some grub?
Go get us some Eddie's?
Hey Daddy, is
that good with you?
- Hey, m... come on, stop, man!
- What?
Did I ever tell you boys...
about the time I spent on
the USS Gridley during Vietnam?
You, uh... you were in the Navy?
Sure was.
First time I
ever saw the ocean.
You talk about
something big and scary...
You good?
Just don't look down.
Most of the kids on
that ship had never seen the
ocean, either.
We were... farm boys.
There was this one kid.
Man, he was a mess.
Could not keep a
meal in his stomach.
Never did figure out
what he was so afraid of.
Maybe...
Daddy!
Maybe something
happened to him when he was
a kid around water or something.
Navy don't seem like a great
place for someone like that.
No, it isn't.
We were sailing
halfway around the world.
And this kid made it a
living hell for every one of us.
He would not shut up.
Dad!
It started
spreading to the rest of us.
Fear like that's contagious.
So what'd you guys do?
What do
you think we did?
Threw him overboard!
We pulled him back in.
And I'll tell you what, he never
made a sound the whole time on
that ship.
Daddy!
What are you doing?
I've been calling for you.
You didn't hear me?
Stanley needs a load.
I told you this
morning, Stanley...
Okay.
I forgot, you're right, yeah.
Uh, you better get
it for him, then.
I guess after
thrashing around in that water,
the deck of that ship
felt as good as dry land.
Kody!
Kody, help!
Help me, Kody!
Sutter!
Kody!
Kody!
No!
Kody, don't go!
Kody,!
Kody!
Hang on!
I'm sinking.
Oh, my God.
Oh, my God.
I can't move!
Get something!
- Come on, grab... grab this!
- Don't come down here!
- I can't move my legs.
- Reach!
Reach!
Come on, grab it!
Help!
Shit.
I can't... I
can't get my legs up.
Help, please, Kody!
Help me!
Shit.
Shit, shit, shit.
Help me!
I'm sinking, Lucha.
Lucha!
Lucha!
Kody, come on,
come on, pull yourself out!
Pull, pull!
Come on, Kody!
Pull yourself out, man, come on!
Pull!
I can't do it!
- I'm slipping, I'm slipping!
- Kody!
Don't let go!
Help!
Help!
Help!
Help!
They're going down!
They're in there!
Turn it off!
Help!
Shut it off!
Shut it off!
Junior, they were in there!
Help, come on!
What happened?
Lucha, what happened?
What happened, what
happened, what happened?
Sutter, he, uh...
Sutter went under.
You got your cell phone?
- Call 911.
- Yes, sir.
Kody?
All right, don't move.
Went under...
Sutt?
Sutt?
Sutt?
Sutt?!
- Junior, we gotta get him!
- Hey, stop!
Kody! Kody!
- Junior,!
- Don't move!
Oh, God.
Junior, I'm going under.
No, no, no, Kody, stop!
Stop, stop!
Okay?
Just right here.
Right here.
Don't move, not
even a little bit.
It's 44.50.
Do you see
something you like?
Code three,
10-25 to Adler Grain and Feed.
We have two individuals
involved in a grain engulfment.
One of them
appears to be a minor.
Repeat, 10-25 to
Adler Grain and Feed.
Bill, you on this?
On it.
All right.
I'll head straight there.
You bring the engine.
Make sure you grab a
couple of O2 tanks.
- Frank...
- What, Bill?
I think
it might be Avery's boy.
Get the engine, Bill.
- Can't...
- Can't you just pull me up?
I could come down in there and
get you but I don't think that
this grain's stable.
I think I'll just push
it on top of you, okay?
So we're just gonna
wait until help comes.
- Junior, I can't...
- Can't breathe.
I can't breathe.
All right, all right.
Where's your inhaler?
It's... it's in my pocket.
That's gonna be a problem.
Get my mom.
Get my mom, Junior.
Okay, sit tight.
It's gonna be all right.
Hey, Jun, what's going on?
Hello, Jun?
Now, um,
everybody's okay and he's okay...
Wait.
What... what are you saying?
What's going on?
There's been an accident.
He's okay.
He's okay right now.
Junior, what are
you talking about?
It's Ko... it's
Kody, he's in the grain bin.
He's...
he's in a bin?!
Junior, what happened?!
I... I don't know.
They were working in
here, I don't know,
I don't know.
Listen to me.
You're gonna need to
bring him his inhaler.
No, h... I... Kody should
have his inhaler with him.
I know.
I know, but he can't
get to it right now.
He, uh... it's under the corn.
Val?
Val?
All right, she's on her way.
What's
going on around here?!
I'm sorry.
What?!
I'm sorry, Adler.
Well, what is it?!
Which bin?
We got a fire?!
Come on, come on.
Heads up!
Frank, is that you?!
Afraid so.
The sky's falling!
All right.
So Kody, I want you to
tie this under your arms,
okay?
Do it slow.
Are you gonna...
you gonna... are you
gonna pull me out?
No.
It's like I told you before, the
pressure from the grain's too
much.
That's to keep you
from going under.
No shit.
All right, tie it off!
Frank, we're gonna
need a grain tube!
On the way!
What's that?!
Fall
Creek's on the way!
Now get up here, Junior!
I can't leave him!
And I can't help with
you the hell in the way!
All right, I'm going up, okay?
But I'm not leaving you.
I... I'm with you,
everybody's with you.
Frank!
Is that you up there?!
Here!
Jesus, I hope he's not drunk.
Go lock down the road.
And... and Burges, no need to
take the Lord's name in vain.
Yes, ma'am.
- Welch, you're with me.
- Yes, ma'am.
How are you doing
there, Mr. Adler?
Fire in number five.
There's no fire, sir.
Why don't you go
with Deputy Welch?
You remember him?
I believe he used to
play ball with Junior,
- Right?
- Yeah.
- Junior?
- Yeah, that's right,
that's right.
- You remember?
- Where's Junior?
Come with me,
I'll take you to him.
How are you doing there, son?
Were you in there?
Easy.
You're a Mendosa boy, right?
You want us to call
your... your family for you?
No.
I'll call.
Okay.
Why don't you go
wait in the shop, huh?
We'll send them your way.
M... ma'am.
Ma... ma'am, you gotta
stay behind the lines!
- You gotta stay...
- No!
What happened
down there, Junior?
Sutter went under.
How long?
Hey, Kody's up, he's breathing,
Val's bringing his inhaler...
- How long?!
- 10 or 15 minutes.
- So what do we do about that?
- We gotta focus on Kody now.
Yeah, what do we
do about Sutter?
Yeah, where the hell are you?
- I'm in.
- Make it four.
- I need that O2.
- Copy.
I need you on that
while I'm in there.
I can't risk a spark
with all that dust.
Bad day, huh, Kodiak?
Listen, right now, the fine
men of the Fall Creek Fire.
Department are tearing down
Route 10 at 90 miles an hour in
a truck that
weighs 65,000 pounds.
And on that truck, they
got one of them grain tubes.
And we're gonna
lower it in here,
insert it around your body,
and it's gonna save your life.
Frank, what do
we do until then?
We keep you breathing.
Mrs. Rose, n...
- No, I need to see Kody.
- No, Mrs. Rose, it's not safe.
But I need to see Kody!
There's not enough space up
there for you and we need you to
stay out of the firemen's way.
But I've got his inhaler.
Okay, great, you need
to give that to Bill.
But he's my son!
And right now, you're
not helping him any.
Go on, Bill.
We'll take good
care of him, Val.
I promise.
Just watch Frank.
Please.
Just watch him.
Don't worry.
They say lightning
don't strike twice.
They say a lot
of stupid things.
Frank, it's getting t... tight.
I can't... I can't breathe.
That's the corn
pressing in on your lungs.
Grain is like cement.
I ain't gonna shit
you, Kody, it's bad.
We got you covered.
We're gonna get some
oxygen down to you.
That should help.
- Bill!
- Ah, Jun!
- What do you need?
- Set that there.
- Frank in there?
- Yup.
- What do you need from me?
- Uh, well...
Do you need me to do anything?
Well, uh, we're gonna need
some lights soon if you wanna...
- You got it.
- All right.
Here, Frank!
'Bout time!
How are we
gonna make the handoff?
Hold tight, Kody.
Hey, is he all right?
D... did Kody get his inhaler?
Yeah, they're
gonna get it to him.
Jun, what happened in there?
Listen, Sutter
went under, okay?
- Sutter went under?
- Yeah.
What's up, you're
just gonna goof around?
I mean, where were you, Jun?!
I don't know, I
don't know, I don't know!
Just stay here.
I'm trying to help.
Shovel!
A little tight up here.
You always
gotta be such a dick?
Hold this.
Let me tell you something:
I'm a man who's known people.
I have known other human beings
in a deep and intimate way.
And never, not once, have I
looked into another person's
soul and not seen that secretly,
that person was a dick.
Now, when I get down in
there, you hand that to me.
Now!
Hold it!
All right, now.
Don't you move.
You let me do the work.
Here she comes!
Reach out and grab it.
Good boy.
Now, the mask.
Keep them breaths
quick and shallow.
Them deep breaths
let the corn press in.
Bill!
Gimme an ETA on Fall Creek!
You're doing good.
Lucha.
Lucha!
Shit!
- Hey, uh...
- Miss Rose, uh...
Hey.
Hey, you all right?
Yeah, uh...
yeah, I'm... I'm okay.
What you listening to?
It's, uh...
it's Kody's.
You know, in, uh...
in the four years of
him playing basketball,
I... I don't ev... I don't
ever think he scored a point.
And, uh, he's about the
only person I ever met that...
struck out in tee-ball.
I was always good at
those things, Miss Rose, but...
sometimes, I wish I
had what he's got.
Thank you.
I tried to save him.
I swear I did.
[... I... I tr... I
tried everything I could.
I know,
I know that you did.
I tried to pull and pull and
it was... it was too strong.
It was like tugging
against the ocean, you know?
- It was...
- I... I know!
But if you hadn't climbed out
of there and shouted for help...
He's still in there!
I mean, is...
is he gonna be okay?
Lucha.
What happened in there?
I don't...
I don't know.
They... they... they tell us to
go in there 'cause the corn
wouldn't come out and, uh...
and that
thing turned on and they...
they just went under.
Where was Junior
when this happened?
He was... I mean...
he was... he was n... he was on
the ground by the time I got up.
Mama!
I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry.
What's next?
How do I get out?
You just hang in
there, all right?
How much longer?
Real soon, Kody.
You still playing music?
I once told your mama you'd
be the next Eddie Van Halen.
When we get out of here, you
gotta play me some new tunes,
all right?
She hates you, you know.
I know.
Fall
Creek's about 15 out!
Just keep that on.
Hey, Bill!
Come here.
They're about 15 minutes away.
I know.
I heard.
All that corn pressing
in on him ain't good, Bill.
Well, what about a
makeshift coffer dam.
Then we don't have to
wait on Fall Cre...
That ain't the problem.
The problem is a 10-foot
wall of corn between us.
It's an avalanche
waiting to happen.
It just needs
someone to push on it.
- Shit.
- Now, I think, if I can get
a pulley up under that
roof, we could lower in.
Have someone grab the rope
access kit from the engine.
- I'm on it.
- All right.
All right, Kody!
That grain tube is almost here.
How you feeling?
It's
getting really heavy.
I'm gonna be down there
with you real soon, buddy.
Make it quick, Bill!
Hey, Donald.
Hey, Jun.
How's he doing?
He's been a bit restless.
Okay.
All right, I've
got it from here.
- Thank you.
- All right.
Hey, Jun?
I'm really sorry about
what happened with Sutter.
Okay, I... I
appreciate it, Tommy.
Anytime.
Wait, what happened to Sut...
Hey, nothing.
No, that fella
said somebody...
No, it's
after quitting time.
Sutter's, um...
he's probably down at the
Black Horse having a cold beer.
Pretty waitress
down at the Black Horse.
Knows
how to tell a joke.
Clara?
- Oh, yeah.
- That's right.
I oughta marry her one day.
Oh, you will, I promise you.
- Where is sh... w...
- Where's... Clar?!
Where's everybody?!
Daddy.
I'm right here.
N... n... you're my son.
You and me, we're...
Did... did I do something wrong?
No, Daddy.
- No, I... I did...
- No.
I did something wrong.
N... n... you... you're my son and
you should tell me the truth!
What did I do?
Nothing, nothing.
- Come here, have a seat.
- W...
Just have a seat,
get comfortable.
Go and have a seat, Daddy.
Good, good.
You have
to focus, Kody.
You can control it if you focus.
I can't.
I'm trying.
You're gonna have to try.
Hey.
Look at me.
Try to breathe like me.
I'm gonna...
I'm gonna... I'm gonna drown!
I'm gonna
drown just like my dad.
Why didn't
you just tell me?
I mean, he's confused.
Why didn't you just say that?
Because I was
right there and I let him do it.
I watched him do it.
Why was he even out there?
What was he doing?
He
Thought he was working.
He thought he was doing
something he'd done 1,000 times
before.
It's...
You just let him
stay in the past.
- This is my fault.
- No, it's not.
I mean, it is and it isn't.
It's everybody's but nobody's.
We're meek, ain't we?
Meek against all of this.
What are you talking about?
Do you ever ask
yourself why, Junior?
Why your mama had to
die the way she did?
Why your daddy's slipping
away and you gotta watch it?
I always just kinda
figured, you know, that's...
that's not really
for us to know.
You sound like everybody else.
Everybody says "Have faith.
God knows why."
Do you know
what I always say to them?
If there is a God, He's got...
Well, He's got a
mean sense of humor.
Or a mind about like your
dad, because you know what?
The why...
The why beats me down
until I feel so numb,
I can't feel anything anymore.
I mean...
why?!
All of this, again!
And that man is the only
one who can save my son!
Listen to me.
I know, you know, and
Frank knows... he knows...
That shouldn't have let
Avery drive that night.
What the hell does that have
to do with anything right now?
Right now, Frank is the
only person who can save Kody.
And right now, sweetheart,
that's the only thing that
matters.
I don't even know
my own son anymore.
You know, I almost
lost one of my girls.
You ever know that?
It was the
scariest day of my life.
I never knew if I even
wanted to have kids.
Some things have a way
of deciding themselves.
I was scared
shitless of being a dad.
I mean, puking in the
sink kind of scared.
Little Emma, she come out fine.
She was screaming bloody
murder when the doc slapped her.
But Sarah...
she wasn't... she
wasn't breathing.
They called it a
"spontaneous pneumothorax."
Collapsed lung.
And then they raced her out of
there before I knew what was
going on.
She... she was in critical
condition for three long days.
The longest days.
Your dad...
he was a damn good
friend to me, Kodiak.
Man, he saw me at my worst.
I wasn't eating or sleeping.
But he stayed with me in that
hospital hallway three long
days.
He wasn't gonna leave 'til we
knew Sarah was gonna be okay.
And I'm gonna get
you out of here, Kody.
You hear me?
I'm gonna get you out of here!
See?
I told you they'd be here.
It's almost over now.
Frank?
They need to talk to ya!
I'll talk to 'em
when they get up here!
They're cutting into
the bin to relieve the pressure!
It's almost over.
I'll be right back.
And
find me a hole to cut.
As long as you get that stuff
get that ladder up
there on top of that bin, we're
gonna get that kid out of there.
Hey!
- You Captain Asshole?!
- Excuse me?
Who in the hell are you?
You need to have your
boys hold up for a second.
The situation in there
ain't as simple as it seems.
- You're the New Hope chief?
- Yeah.
The boy got a
breathing condition or not?
Yeah, we got an inhaler...
Then we've got
no time to waste.
That bin is what,
50,000 bushels?
About half full, right?
That's a million and a
half pounds of corn in there.
That's a lot of
pressure on that kid's lungs.
The kid is
surrounded by unstable corn!
The minute you try and
manipulate it and play God,
it's gonna pour in on him!
He'll be six feet under
before you ever get in there!
You need to lower in from
the roof with a grain tube!
Lower in?!
What the hell are
you talking about?!
We ain't got time for that!
Besides...
I can't be sure you're thinking
clearly given the circumstance.
Circumstance?
What the hell's
that supposed to mean?
It is standard
procedure to drain these things,
get the pressure
off that kid's chest.
Standard procedure's
gonna kill that kid!
You need... you need to
listen to what I'm saying!
Goddamn it!
We are all here for
the same goddamn reason!
Listen!
Frank.
He's right.
You shouldn't be
the lead on this.
Look, you did good,
you got Kody stabilized.
Let him bring him out.
It's just...
it's just too much
for everyone right now.
All right.
But he's wrong.
Come on, Avery.
Come on!
Please.
Avery...
Help!
Help!
An unexpected drop in pressure
tonight as temperatures are
expected to dip as low as 73
degrees in the southern and
central areas of the county...
Who was was that girl?
You don't know her.
Was that Clara?
No.
Clara's not coming back.
It's all right, Junior.
Sun's gone down.
For a while now.
I thought if
something happened...
I don't know, but...
You get out my way,
you dipshit old man!
- Get that asshole away from me!
- I warned you!
We needed to lower in from
the top with the grain tube!
- There wasn't time!
- There was time!
That kid is a
tough son of a bitch!
We're following procedure!
You can shove your goddamn
procedure up your ass, old man!
That kid's dead in
there now because of you!
Stop it!
I don't care...
about any of your protocol!
- Get out of his way!
- Move!
Let him bring
my son back to me!
Move!
I'm not seeing him!
Keep digging.
Dig, dig!
- I can't see him.
- Keep digging!
Follow the rope!
- Kody!
- Keep digging, come on!
He's here.
There!
Keep digging!
Kody!
Just keep digging.
Come on.
Come on.
Come on, kid.
- There he is.
- We got him, we got him.
- He's here, he's here.
- Come on, come on!
We've got him.
Shh, quiet!
He ain't breathing.
He ain't breathing!
Go!
Go!
Come on!
You hang on, buddy.
We're gonna get you.
Pull him out, Frank!
What'd he say?
Say again!
Give it to me.
John.
Give the lady the radio.
Bill.
Bill, what's going on up there?
Where's Kody?
Get up under him.
Hold him.
Come on, now, Kody.
Bill, answer me,
I swear to God!
Come on, now, Kody.
You gotta be strong.
Come on, now!
Code two.
Bill, answer me!
We're gonna get you out now.
Hey, get that grain tube.
Just hang with me.
Bill, I am begging you.
What's going on?
They got him.
They got him, ma'am.
He's breathing.
He's okay.
You okay?
He's okay.
He's okay!
Okay, okay.
You're gonna be fine,
everything's fine.
And up.
Hell of a day, huh, kid?
My dad used to
say that we work in acres,
not hours.
He was proud of that.
He'd get up before
the sun did and...
go get onto some tractor that
was probably gonna break down
before the day ended.
Just working,
working, working, working.
And, uh...
then he'd come in through
that door for dinner time
just... covered in
dirt and grease and...
wore out and sweaty and just
this big ol' grin on his face.
Big ol' smile.
And then he and my mama...
Anyhow, it is that smile that
made me say "This... this is for
me.
This is what I wanna do."
And he used to say
to us, "You know...
people in town may
not think much of us,
but don't worry too
much about that...
'cause they're eating
the food we grow for them."
And I just... I knew
that this meant something.
And I want to know why...
something so... selfless
and something so simple...
could...
could go south so quick.
I d... I don't understand why.
I don't understand why.
I don't understand why...
he can't tell a joke anymore,
I don't understand why...
Kody's daddy got killed
in an automobile accident,
I don't... I don't
understand why...
somebody like Sutter...
I don't understand why.
And it's not sitting well.
And it don't seem right.
These things aren't
meant to make sense to us, Jun.
There's one thing that the Lord
has shown me over the years is
that...
He's got a real curious way of
making good things come from
something bad.
Maybe.
Maybe.
- Dr.
- Davis, telephone, please.
Dr. Davis, telephone, please.
Hey, Mama.
Hey, how you feel?
You okay?
Listen to me.
Your dad would be
so proud of you.
