Firenado (2023) Movie Script
1
[music playing]
[glasses clink]
[music playing]
Reports are coming
in across the county
of a tornado which according to
eyewitnesses has caught fire.
The so-called firenado has
left a wake of destruction
in its path.
We are reporting to you
from NBT News and enroute
to the location now.
We're coming up to firenado now.
The heat, wait,
pull up, pull up.
[blast]
[phone ringing]
And now onto the
weather, strong winds
are expected today
particularly in Houston, Texas.
Tornado Warning is currently
in place for EF1 rating.
Winds up to 100 miles an
hour in the worst hit areas
across Victoria and Austin.
People are advised not to
travel and to stay indoors.
There's likely to be
falling trees and damage
to some buildings.
[music playing]
[alarm ringing]
But now on to the weather.
[inaudible]
Tornado warning currently
in place for EF1 rating
with up to 100 miles an hour--
[door bell ringing]
Mr. Moore?
Yes.
I have a parcel for you.
I need your signature, please.
Couldn't you have
left it with security?
Well, I need your
signature so I can't just
hand the parcel to anyone.
I need you to
personally sign for it.
Very well.
Is that all?
Yeah, that's it.
Thank you.
Arth, where is he?
Arth, in future if you can let
someone through my main gate
to my front door, sure
to give me some warning.
I can't have people
just strolling in here.
I pay you a lot of money to
be my set of eyes and ears.
Ain't a lot of
point me paying you
if you ain't going
to do your job.
Sorry, boss.
It's OK.
Just be more vigilant next time.
If we get any more
deliveries, you let me know,
I'll come to the gate.
Understood.
Thank you.
[eerie music]
Let me take this.
You're late, Anna.
I know.
I'm sorry.
My alarm didn't go off.
It's so early.
Oh, don't worry.
I'll try and make up
the time on the road.
We have to be at Lawton's
field in under an hour.
Actually, Deborah knows.
I was hoping maybe
we could talk.
Haven't got time now, Anna.
Can it wait until tomorrow?
After all we're on the verge
of a momentous breakthrough
and tomorrow will
be a glorious day.
Anus.
Hi, Anna.
Hey.
[music playing]
Hey, Helena, cappuccino me.
Oh, yeah.
Help me hold that, thanks.
There we go.
Wow, Greg, doesn't that burn?
Well, yeah, yeah.
Totally burns but
I need the keg.
Helena, chuck that out
of the window for me.
Whoa, Greg.
I'm no having the planet ruined
any more than it already is.
[music playing]
You seem quite, Anna.
Are you all right?
Yeah, I'm fine.
Must be the nerves.
This greatest scientific
breakthrough of the decade.
Is there something
on your mind, Greg?
No, just super excited, man.
How is your drone?
Hey, we talked about this man.
This is not a drone, this is
a tornado infiltration unit.
Don't get it twisted.
No, that's funny
because it looks exactly
like my 12-year-old
cousin's drone.
OK, Anna, fine.
Yes, it's mounted on a drone,
okay, but how else
am I going to get it up there,
put it on a kite?
Whoa.
Ben Franklin much.
Easy, Greg.
The coffee is kicking in.
No, I'm just trying to work.
Some of us actually
work around here.
You should be happy, Anna,
this is your first outing.
Well, I didn't do much.
Well, everyone plays their
part, you remember that.
Yeah, yeah.
I thought I'd be doing more.
Your time will come.
Next project you'll be
there from the start,
you'll get more responsibility,
you just joined in a busy time.
Lawton's app, we're here.
Havarti, everyone.
Havarti.
[music playing]
Come on off.
Havarti, Greg, Havarti.
Running all the way.
The experiment will
commence at 10:00 AM.
Helena, give me a read.
Traveling 70 miles per
hour in the center for us
at 500 meters.
That's 60 miles per hour
heading North Easterly
and arching slightly 10 degrees.
Which means?
It's coming this way.
Are we going to be OK here?
Oh, yes, it's perfect.
When it gets up to 200 yards
we'll launch the device.
Greg are you ready?
Is the drone ready?
Tornado infiltration unit.
Well.
She'll fly captain.
Oh, captain.
Yes, I like it.
OK, everybody let's get ready.
Helena I want you
to track the course,
make sure it doesn't deviate.
Oh, and Anna, take notes,
record for posterity.
Yes, captain.
400 meters.
OK, boys and girls, it
looks like we've got
ourselves a rope tornado here.
You know why they
call it a rope, Anna?
Why is that, Devlin?
Because it's all like a rope.
God himself could
shimmy down this one.
300 meters.
Devlin, this thing looks like
it's moving at a pace, man.
I suggest we move our asses,
get this thing in there,
so we can get the
hell out of the way.
OK.
Take to the skies Greg my boy.
All right.
All right.
Come on.
Fly for me baby, fly.
Get in course then activate it.
Now, Anna, film
something for me.
Filming in landscape, Anna.
I want cinematography here.
Drop.
Recording.
Good day, everybody.
Time here is
approaching 10:00 AM,
welcome to our extreme
weather experiment.
The device that we're about to
launch into this tornado which
is currently registering
at an EF1 level
uses electromagnetic pulses
and emits chemical adjusters
that can shift the balance
of warm and cold air and form
malleable pockets.
You want to try one in English
for our less scientific viewers
to understand, boss.
Which means we can
enhance the energy
building inside this thing
and we can manipulate.
In theory we can make it
bigger and there's also
another possibility.
It's close.
Hey, doc, we're going to have
to get this thing in there soon,
man, I'm having trouble
holding it in position.
It needs to go right in
the middle of the twister
right now.
Right, It's arcing now, you need
to hit it side on, OK, it'll
penetrate better.
That's what she said.
Oh, well, Greg focus.
Bad joke.
OK, let's move.
Come on.
[music playing]
Hey, guys, no closer.
OK, yeah.
This is as far as we go.
Uh uh, I've got to get close, I
got to make sure this gets in OK
Be careful Greg and
be prepared to run.
I'm going to punch it in.
Get in there bitch.
Yeah.
Great shot, now activate it.
Oh, my god, we're active.
Calibrating the formation
and the gas composition.
I'm reading speed,
size, and velocity.
Hey I'm activating the
chemical and electrical pulses,
the particles expanding.
The rope formation
is spiraling faster
and amalgamate even more gases.
What does that mean?
It means the son of a
bitch is getting bigger.
It had to be wise.
Did you ever doubt it?
Oh, with in church.
Not for a second.
This is great.
I'm going to intensify it.
No, Greg, no.
What?
Devlin, it works tell
him to shut it down.
Oh, man, this is beautiful.
Whoa.
Oh, my god.
It's all turning shape,
it's intensifying rapidly.
She's right.
It's a cone formation.
We're officially category grade.
Devlin!
Devlin!
OK, yeah, Greg, shut
it down, that's enough.
I can make it bigger,
we could go further.
We've worked too hard
for too long, man.
Let's go further.
Shut it down, Greg,
it's dangerous.
I got control of it.
Yeah, I think
actually I can push it
away by altering the
magnetic balance.
Come on.
Don't get so close.
Greg, stop.
Stop.
Currently 4, Greg shut it down.
Fine, just give me a minute.
It's not responding.
Charging against,
increasing in size.
What?
It's exploding and moving.
It's going to head to us.
When?
About 30 seconds.
We got to run.
Greg, it doesn't mean anything.
In 30 seconds, we need to run.
I can't do it, I can't do it.
Come on, Greg, come on.
You can make it.
Fuck, I can do
it, I can't do it.
Come on, Greg.
[screams]
Anna, just go ahead
and take deep breaths.
[sobs]
Cause he's fucking dead.
He's gone.
Jesus.
Oh, god.
All right, where's it heading?
It's on a trajectory east
heading out to the coast.
But I can see an inward
arc beginning to fall.
Do you think it might
head inland again?
I don't know.
We need to beat it.
No, no, no, no.
There's got to be a
way to stop it, right?
Why couldn't he
have just listened?
Why didn't we-- we tried
to tell him to stop.
We tried to warn him.
Maybe we shouldn't have
played God in the first place.
No.
We mustn't forget the
reasons for doing this.
Greg wanted it too.
No, we can still fix this.
We can still make this right.
Helen.
What?
Keep track of the
speed and the course.
I'm going to try
and get ahead of it.
Come on, you rusty
piece of shit.
[mysterious music]
[knocks on door]
Come in.
Come on.
Relax.
Yes, boss?
Yes, Thomas.
Well, I've noticed we've had
some inclement weather today.
Yeah, it's a bit windy.
A bit windy.
OK.
What is that?
Weather coverage up to date.
And this here, in the
middle of the screen,
passing across the
west of the country
is a force four tornado.
Force four, is that a lot?
Christ, Thomas, no.
Out of 5.
And it's increasing
intensity too.
This is already the
most powerful tornado
to hit these shores.
It's missing all the
major cities thankfully.
I don't understand.
What's this got to do with us?
Around this area here is a
country house currently being
rented by one Pierce Moore.
Never heard of him.
Well, you wouldn't have.
He's an accountant.
But he works for Tony Markwell.
Oh, I've heard of him.
Moore's got pretty
simple Joe Brady.
He takes in launder
money in big stashes
and oversees it until he's
curried on to deals, et cetera.
There's money awaiting, boys.
And then there's small
security team and an accountant
protecting him.
So this guy must get
robbed all the time.
Would you rob anything
from Markwell?
Well, no, but--
Technically, but we have
a window here, boys.
This tornado is going to
pass close to his place
in about two hours.
We can get there in 90
minutes, by which time
if he's got any sense,
him and his security team
would have evacuated
to the nearest town
or bowled themselves in the
basement, if there is one.
You want to rip him off?
That can be anywhere between
a quarter and 3/4 of a million
in stash there.
And that's just one
stash he has too.
So how many guards do they have?
At least two.
Maybe more.
What about the security system?
That's the beauty of it.
We can cut communication
and power to the whole area.
And they'll just put
it down to the twister.
We get in.
And we get out.
And we will have what
is known in the traders,
plausible deniability.
Are you boys game?
I'm in.
I'm not sure, boss.
That was a rhetorical
question, Tommy.
You come in now.
Tool up, you slugs.
We're going treasure hunting.
Come on, fuck off.
[suspenseful music]
I think I've made
a breakthrough.
OK.
What have you got?
Right.
OK.
Just take the next left.
And then we need to get within
500 meters of the tornado.
Is that even safe?
Oh, yeah, don't worry.
I'm on it.
We'll be safe to
about 400 yards.
But that is until it
intensifies again.
OK.
So what do we do?
Well, I'll have made
some adjustments.
And I think I can hone in on
the TIU's directional system.
You can retrieve it?
Of course.
Well done, Helena.
No, we don't retrieve it
now but we can use it.
How?
I use steering wheel.
You can drive that thing?
In a manner of speaking, we
can slowly pull the off-back
and still be going inland.
Hopefully, she'll go out to sea.
Great, great.
Let's do that.
There's a problem.
Well, the trajectory
you set it on,
it's going to take it straight
through several houses.
Well, they were close.
Surely they would
have evacuated.
Not necessarily.
If this thing goes straight
over a country house,
it'll destroy it in a moment.
If the power intensifies,
it'll strip out a basement.
Well, then we get ahead of
this thing, and we warn them.
OK.
Let's do this.
Oh, shit.
[tires squealing]
Give it a heads-up
next time, Doc.
Yeah, sorry.
It's all right.
All right.
We got to go back on track.
[suspenseful music]
I see it.
OK.
500 yards.
You got a signal?
M-hm.
No, I don't have no signal.
It's getting closer.
It's 470 now.
One more sec.
What exactly is our
safety cut-off here?
300 yards to be exact.
400 meters away.
[inaudible]
Got it.
Whoa.
What you you think
[inaudible] to?
Oh, it's not me.
Transmit the new
coordinates now.
Shit, pulling us.
Oh.
Careful, careful.
We can't lose signal now.
Isn't it there yet?
Hold it still.
But why does It always
get stuck on 99?
I've never said, OK,
go, go go go, go, go.
I know, yeah.
Before we see some serious shit.
[suspenseful music]
[breaks]
Devlin!
Shit.
What, did it work?
It worked.
New course set.
Good.
We need to warn people.
Think we're going to have to
keep a quick pace to make it.
Then we keep it.
This is our responsibility.
OK.
One of the first
house coordinates.
Latitude, 89.
Just give me a zip code, Anna.
Sorry, it's 87738.
OK.
We're going to have to get
ahead of this silly game.
What speed's it doing?
It's fluctuating.
Not always moving
in a straight line,
but it's currently
at 55 miles per hour.
[suspenseful music]
Are you ready?
[birds tweeting]
[suspenseful music]
What on earth are you doing?
You know there are weather
warnings in place, don't you?
Yes, we know.
That's why we're here.
I boarded my pantry.
Daughter and I are going
to shut ourselves in soon.
No, no, no.
No, it won't be enough.
Says who?
Says me.
I'm a meteorologist.
We have four minutes.
You are right in the path
of a force four tornado.
I've had stronger farts, love.
I'll be fine.
What's going on?
Hey.
Hey, kid, you got to get
your dad to listen to us.
He's not seeing any sense.
We'll be safe here.
This house has
stood for a century.
This house is going
to be pulled apart
by 170 miles per hour winds.
Do you not understand?
There was a tornado
hitting over all of these.
And it's going to chew this
place up and spit it out.
Listen, you would need to
head west towards Jefferson.
The tornado is going east.
Dad, listen.
We need to leave.
License or not, I will
drive out with you
even if you don't want.
This is utter nonsense.
Anna, Helena, it's
time to leave.
Hey, does that look
like nonsense to you?
[foreboding music]
Billie, you need to get
in the car right now.
Come on.
[suspenseful music]
Come on, man, what
are you doing?
Anna, they've been warned.
We have to go.
Seriously?
[suspenseful music]
Is everyone all right?
There's no one left inside?
Jesus.
Thank you for warning us.
So sorry about the house.
Helena, come on.
[suspenseful music]
Damn.
What's wrong?
I've been trying to
figure out a way that we
can reverse these effects.
You think there might be a way?
If there is, I can't find it.
Greg's control unit
had a fail-safe.
The system registered
to him as initiating it,
but clearly it failed.
The fail-safe failed.
But that's just perfect.
I've always been in control.
And we study every exercise.
How can I let this happen?
We all let it happen.
Einstein would turn in his
grave if he could see my work.
Doc, the twister's
headed straight
on a trajectory from the first
house to the second, right?
Pretty much.
Through the woodland?
Yeah.
I know I'm going to regret
this, but why do you ask?
On the far side of Raslow's
Wood, there's a gas station.
Looks like our twister is
headed straight through it.
Should we be worried?
If the pass is closed, straight
over I guess it could--
Could what?
You don't want to know.
Ooh, do we have
time to warn people?
[inaudible] called.
It's just a few miles up ahead.
Thank God.
[foreboding music]
The gas station should
be up here on the right.
No sign of the twister.
It's been slowing.
It should be here.
[suspenseful music]
Devlin?
What?
Dev, you play the bad man.
We'll see you on the other side.
Oh, OK.
Is there anyone in there?
Hey.
Hey.
Hey, hey, hey, hey, you.
You need to go.
There's a twister.
It's coming over all of this.
There's a twister.
It's too dangerous.
You got to get out of here.
Is there anyone in the back?
Don't know.
No, go.
I said go.
Get out of here.
Hey, you need to leave.
You need to leave now, Helena.
Hey.
Helena!
Yeah.
Is it all clear?
Clear.
OK.
Where's Devlin?
[suspenseful music]
So what exactly could
happen here, Doc?
Wait, we'll see.
I couldn't get it.
The gas compounds
from the machine.
That depends [inaudible].
[blasts]
[gasps]
Oh.
Maybe not.
Christ.
I better go and check
on the readings.
OK.
We better move.
[suspenseful music]
It's picked up speed
after igniting.
That is bigger.
The intensity is increased.
Jesus.
I thought they were really meant
to last a couple of minutes?
Well, they do usually.
But there was one in
Australia that lasted for 40.
Jesus.
Yeah, I know.
We're already up
to a category five.
How far to the second house?
It's 10 minutes.
Where's the twister now?
Running parallel to
us, 55 miles per hour.
But we've got the short
angle to the second house
so we should be able
to get ahead of it.
[suspenseful music]
When we do arrive?
Four minutes.
When will the twister hit?
Six minutes.
Oh, shit.
That's not enough time.
OK.
There's a dirt track up
ahead 50 yards to the right.
I'm going to take it.
What?
We'll cut through the
fields near the house.
This isn't exactly
all-terrain, Doc.
Can your suspension handle that?
Mine can't.
The vehicle's may though.
Jesus, we should
have bought a Jeep.
Maybe this wasn't
such a good idea.
No, no.
It's OK.
We'll make it good time.
[suspenseful music]
Winds picking up.
You get everything you need?
I'm getting from this place now.
Bring it straight
down the basement.
OK.
[knocks on door]
Hello?
What's going on?
You need to leave now.
Leave?
That's a tornado nearby.
We're going downstairs
to the basement.
Sir, listen, you
don't understand.
It is heading right through you.
What is it?
They say that we need to leave.
The tornado is going to come
right through the house.
Well, we can't leave.
We need to stay put.
It is a force five tornado.
Your house isn't
going to survive it.
Force five?
Absolute rubbish.
Not just force five.
It's on fire too.
I'm begging, if you don't
leave now, you're going to die.
OK.
We told them.
Come on, we have to go.
No, no, no.
I'm not leaving until it goes.
It's OK.
We're going to go.
Come on, Dad, we need to move.
You've got two minutes.
Think I can help you?
No, we haven't got time.
We've got to get to the
other house as well.
He's right.
We've got to go.
Be quick, please.
Be quick.
Yeah.
Dad, Dad, hurry up!
[suspenseful music]
Wait.
Why are they leaving?
Dad!
Dad, oh my god!
Oh my god, no!
Come on!
Move!
Dad, Dad, Dad!
Dad!
[screams]
Aah!
[gasps]
Come on, get in the van.
What have we done?
Hey, hey, you OK?
Don't touch me.
You did this!
You started this!
No, don't do this.
We'll save the next
one, I promise.
[suspenseful music]
What?
Here.
OK.
Signal blocker is activated.
I am so ready for this.
Whoo!
You're a fucking idiot.
You're not exactly
subtle, are you, Thomas?
Look, I've been
checking the news,
and this tornado's caught fire.
It's heading our way.
A fire tornado?
That's sick.
[chuckles]
What?
Oh, we're going to have
enough time to get in and out.
Don't start fretting.
We'll get in, get
the money and leave.
We can't be sure this thing
will be anywhere near us.
Weather forecasters are just
guessing where it'll go.
And if ever you were thinking
of backing out on me now,
I'll shoot you me fucking self.
Well, come on.
Let's gear up.
[suspenseful music]
Hey, how's night going?
It's slow tonight.
I'm going to get some coffee.
Do you want one?
Yeah, thank you.
Thank you.
[suspenseful music]
[gunshots]
You're all right?
I think so.
[suspenseful music]
What the fuck?
Hello, is anybody there?
Boys.
What's going on?
I don't know.
[suspenseful music]
Hands up.
Step away from the box, asshole.
What the fuck are you doing?
[gunshot]
We're just changing
the electricity, buddy.
(ON RADIO) Hello,
buddies, be vigilant.
I can't get a
signal on my phone.
Come in, anyone hear me?
You're welcome.
[grunts]
Fuck ya.
I'm scared.
It's all right.
I'm sure it's nothing.
[suspenseful music]
Two of them.
What's this about?
Why are you here?
Take a wild guess.
It's left some
fires in its path.
But so far, it doesn't
look like anyone else died.
OK.
Nearly there.
I'll ask again.
Where's the fucking money?
I'll tell you again, I don't
know what you're talking about.
There is no money.
We know you're an
accountant, Moore.
And we know who you work for.
I run an office in Draunston.
It's a small practice.
I told you, you
got the wrong man.
I'll kill her.
I will fucking kill her.
I'll fucking kill her.
[gunshot]
[laughter]
We don't need to do that.
We're doing all right for such
a humble businessman, ain't ya?
What's this one worth?
One?
1.2 million?
I've got rich parents.
What are you looking at?
Shit.
Wake up, you ass wipe.
Boss, we haven't
got time for this.
Shut it, you tart.
Just go on searching.
Now!
Tear this place apart.
You, bring the cars
in and check upstairs.
We'll take it downstairs.
Tommy!
Yes, boss.
You know, the more I
look back, the more I
think we could
have used a smaller
magnetic pull on the device.
Lowered the hydrogen levels.
So if we do this again, I'm sure
we can keep one under control
at a smaller scale anyway.
Again?
Again?
Great things can be done
with this technology.
Yes, and in the wrong
hands, terrible things.
Just leave it, Devlin.
All right.
Just leave it.
We're here.
Just pull over.
I wonder if there's
anybody still here.
Maybe they evacuated already.
No, look, there's three cars.
Wait here.
I'm going to check.
You better be quick.
We've got five minutes.
[motor revs]
[suspenseful music]
Lovely.
Come on, come on.
Look.
Fuck!
Where is it?
Fuck!
It's not fucking here!
Oh!
Hey.
Hey.
Hey, come on, wake up.
Look at me.
Hey.
Hey.
Who the hell are you?
It doesn't matter.
There's two guys downstairs.
Lady, there's three of them.
What do they want?
[coughs]
Money.
[coughs]
Over there on the table,
there's some scissors.
Just cut it off.
OK.
[wind blowing]
[suspenseful music]
Shit.
Hurry.
Yeah.
They will come in
back any minute.
Get a knife from the kitchen.
Boss, it's Moore.
He's escaped some girl.
And he's armed.
Well, so are you.
Get after the bastard now.
There's another thing.
The twister, it's getting close.
It's coming.
So?
We'll burn.
Then we'll burn.
Move!
[suspenseful music]
[gunshot]
Ahhhh!
Come on.
How is it?
Where is she?
[panting]
Fucking.
I'll fucking kill him.
I'll fucking kill him.
[screams]
[inaudible] you bastard.
Tommy!
Oh!
Oh.
Hello, you.
Where's my fucking money?
I fucking told you,
there is no money.
Where is my fucking--
who the fuck are you?
I'm not anyone.
Give me the fucking
money or I'm going
to blow your fucking head off.
What you doing?
Let's go.
Let's go.
Let's go.
My god, let's go.
[motor revs off]
Come on, pick up.
Boss?
Oh.
Oh.
[gunshots]
I'm here.
Are you OK?
[gunshot]
Get in.
Fuck is going on here?
Fuck.
Where, were you?
Does it fucking matter?
Get in the car.
Hey.
Hey, it's me.
We're headed to a
safe place by the sea.
It's northeast.
I'll send you the location now.
Yeah.
Just make sure
you're not tailed.
OK.
Yeah.
OK.
Northeast, I got it.
Northeast.
Oh, wait a minute.
Oh, god.
What the fuck is happening?
Fucking way, get out
of the way asshole!
[laughter]
[gunshots]
[screams]
Fucking guns!
Oh, god.
I never thought I'd get to see
the day when I said this, it's
time to engage the hyperdrive.
[engine revs]
Whoa.
Why didn't you tell
me we had that?
Oh, it's a one-way ride.
[inaudible]
[screams]
Should follow them?
No, we want the money.
We go after Moore.
Who the hell are those guys?
Why are they shooting at us?
Just keep your head down.
Where exactly are we going?
I've got a place by the sea.
It should be safe there.
OK.
And where is this in my life?
[suspenseful music]
What's happening?
Oh, baby, what
have I done to you?
I think the hyperdrive
might have killed her.
On the upside, I
think we lost them.
I guess we're going
to be all right.
Well, thank God for that.
What are we going
to do about Anna?
I guess we go on on foot.
You've got to be kidding me.
I've got the controller.
You grab the tablet.
Tell me my eyes
are deceiving me.
I can explain.
I think it's pretty
self-explanatory.
I mean, what are we now,
fucking mercenaries?
We were developing weaponry.
No, it's not that.
Well, how can you be so sure?
How do you know what
Skylab was going
to do with it when we were
seeing what it could do even
with good intent?
I just thought--
I--
I just thought--
We trusted you, Devlin.
What are you going to do,
take the money and run?
No, I would have
split it equally.
Yeah, but I wouldn't
have taken it.
I know.
That's why I didn't sign.
I'm sorry.
It was a moment of weakness.
They came to me with the offer.
I didn't accept it.
I'll never trust
you again, Devlin.
Anyway, we've got
more pressing matters.
Oh, my gosh.
They're gaining on us.
[motor revving]
[gunshot]
[screams]
Take this.
Make it count.
What do you mean, make it count?
It seems you got
the noose, have you?
Yeah.
Aim for the tires.
I don't know how to shoot.
Come on.
Pull the trigger.
[gunshots]
[screams]
You scared them.
Fucking shit, fuck.
Fuck, why did this happen?
You're getting in
the fucking way.
You're not going to do anything.
I'm going to fix it.
Yeah?
You better because I'm
getting your fucking money.
I said I can fix this.
Fucking fix it.
Fucking god.
No!
Fuck!
We lost them.
Why is that word exciting?
[laughter]
Helena, wait.
No, wait up.
We've got a big problem.
What?
Their location is
northeast, right?
And?
Guess what's heading that way.
What?
Can't be.
That's north of the
original projection.
It's changed its course.
It's going straight for them.
Oh, god.
Hey.
You don't look so good.
Try to stay awake, yeah?
I'll try.
But I don't feel
so good, it's all.
I'm Pierce, by the way.
I'm Anna.
Nice to meet you.
So not bad for a
first date, huh?
[laughter]
Yeah.
Gunfights, outrunning tornadoes.
I think I've had better
for six, to be honest.
Why were they after you anyway?
It's complicated.
Yeah.
But they were looking
for something?
Money.
[laughter]
What, you got a bank
vault under your house?
It's funny you should say that.
It's not too far off.
I'll be completely
honest with you, Anna.
I'm in some deep shit
with some bad people.
And
I'm going to count them with
a very select clientele,
let's say.
And I'm holding on
to its welded money.
So not legal, but
I'm going to do good.
It's far from legal.
Thing is, now that I've
done a few jobs for them,
I'm under their thumb.
And can't get out.
Just don't know what to do.
Anyway, look, enough about me.
Tell me about yourself.
Me?
I'm nobody.
Nobody?
Come on, man.
Don't be crazy.
You just saved my life.
You're pretty amazing.
Well, me and my colleagues,
we were tracking the twister.
Tracking it?
What you mean, like
meteorologists or venture
seekers?
I studied meteorology.
I took an internship
with Dr. Devlin.
He's pretty renowned
in his field
but kind of a black sheep.
Black sheep?
How
Oh, he's a crackpot with
wild ideas, at least
that's what people say.
What do you say?
I say, he's a crackpot
with wild ideas.
But he's a good man.
So how did your get
on into all this?
Do you enjoy it?
Actually, I... thought
I was going to quit today
Quit, why?
Uh... Devlin has his quirks,
um...
I respect him a lot.
And he's always been kind to me.
But he's so focused
on his own work
that I feel like I'm
not learning anything.
I get to get the coffee.
Well, glad you
didn't quit today.
But it sounds like he's not
all he's cracked up to be.
Yeah.
I did get offered
another position
with a rival in the field.
Is that good?
You're going to take it?
I don't know.
I really don't feel so good.
Pierce?
Hey.
Are you OK?
Moore!
Fuck!
Get in the car.
We're going to get a fuck
away from this twister.
What?
What about Nate?
What the fuck are
you looking at Tommy?
What about fucking Nate?
Fuck that.
He's on his own.
[breathing heavily]
Fuck.
[suspenseful music]
[scream]
Are you OK?
Yeah.
I think so.
Better thanks to you.
So this place yours or
another perk of the job?
It's mine.
But it's a perk
of an inheritance.
I don't like to
speak about it much,
but not got many too many
fond memories of this place.
A lot of traumatic
shit happens here.
Yeah, I get that.
My, um-- my folks are gone too.
Not exactly the warmest people.
But I still feel guilty.
Guilty?
How so?
Not being more upset
when they died I guess.
I actually feel worse
about betraying Devlin.
That wasn't a betrayal, Anna.
And feels like it sometimes.
He's not exactly a
father figure but it's
kind of like a crazy
uncle or something.
So it feels like family though.
Yeah, I get that.
It's strange I kind of feel a
strange connection between us.
It must be the adrenaline.
Maybe.
Escaping danger,
it's kind of a rush.
And you, do you
think we're safe now?
I hope so.
I don't see how they could
ever find this place.
Just try to relax and wait
for the others to arrive.
We're here.
And there's the car.
Anna.
Anna.
She's in here.
They made it.
Got you, Anna.
We were being shot at.
Who were those people?
What did they want?
It's all right.
It's a long story.
I'm sorry.
You are?
I'm Pierce.
Look, I'm really sorry--
Perhaps we could hold
off on the introductions.
We have to leave.
The twister's imminent.
It's coming here?
Yeah.
Oh, my god.
Are you going to be OK to drive?
I should be.
Oh, great.
And when we're clear, and
the twisters subsided at sea,
we can track and
retrace the units.
Devlin, can you just stop?
All right?
Anna, we need to go.
No, no.
Helena listen to me.
Are you OK?
Yeah, thanks.
Please, just listen to me.
[sighs]
We need to retrieve it.
Why on earth when we just let it
sink to the bottom of the ocean
floor?
You forget it was
designed to float.
Yeah.
And then what good would it be?
Maybe we can still
perfect the technology.
If we know how to increase the
mass and velocity of a tornado,
maybe we could even subdue one.
It could avert a
lot of destruction.
This is not just me, Helena.
We all have a choice.
We can retrieve it.
Destroy the prototype, erase all
of our research so no one else
can recreate it.
Or we perfect it
and keep control.
So what's your decision?
I haven't made it yet.
Well, you know my stance.
Oh!
God.
Lord.
Who the fuck are you?
[inaudible]
[suspenseful music]
[gunshot]
[gunshot]
[scream]
They split up.
You go right.
If we don't get you,
the tornado will.
You're a long way
from home, Dorothy.
And Ruby's slippers aren't
going to save you now.
Come, come get you up.
[grunts]
[whistles]
[gunshot]
Ladies and gentlemen,
people of all ages,
today we're going
to play a game.
Here we have two doors.
Behind one, the grand prize.
Round and round and round, I go.
Where we stop, nobody knows.
[gunshots]
Door number one, nothing to see.
Door number two, who will it be?
[gunshot]
[grunts]
Where are you?
One more door.
[inaudible]
Let's have some fun.
Time's up.
[grunts]
Mother fucker.
I told you, I don't know
where your money is.
[sobs]
Anna.
That's enough.
Where's Anna?
Shh.
She's safe.
[glass breaks]
Hey, it's OK.
Sshhh.
You stay back.
Listen to me, Devlin.
I said, go.
And you didn't mean any of it.
[crying]
There, there.
All will be OK.
I won't let you down.
[inaudible]
Oh, don't cry.
I'm sorry.
Don't cry, Helena.
But look--
I need to go.
We all have to go.
[suspenseful music]
Now, I know you're his
girlfriend or something.
So you must know
where my money is.
Tell me where it is, and I'll
let you walk out of here.
[suspenseful music]
Gotcha.
Fuck is she?
[gunshot]
[grunts]
[gunshot and glass breaks]
[panting]
Anna, where are you?
Are you OK?
He's heading around this way.
We got to go.
Let's go.
Come on.
[screams]
Here, guys, it's clear.
We can-- oh.
Anna.
It's OK.
It's OK.
Take the other side please.
OK.
Fuck!
Oh, been trying to
get out of here fast.
[suspenseful music]
Come on, come on.
[blasts]
So you think he'll be OK?
I really don't know.
I hope so.
You're going to be OK?
Yeah, I'll be fine.
OK.
Well, what better way for
the [inaudible] around here.
Thanks.
Anna.
Where's Anna?
Here, we'll be here, Doc.
You did well today.
Sorry.
Don't try and talk.
Just hold on.
You wanted to talk to me
about something this morning.
It's not important now.
OK, Anna.
I know.
My old friend, Malco,
told me you'd applied.
I thought you were rivals.
Friendly rivalry.
Don't worry, I gave you
a glowing reference.
I'm so sorry.
No, I'm sorry.
I should have been
more attentive.
But I promise you, I
am very, very proud.
Do something for me?
Yeah, anything.
Destroy everything, every
trace of this damn create.
Every trace.
Help me sit up, would you?
I want to watch this.
[sobs]
It is beautiful.
[music playing]
[music playing]
[glasses clink]
[music playing]
Reports are coming
in across the county
of a tornado which according to
eyewitnesses has caught fire.
The so-called firenado has
left a wake of destruction
in its path.
We are reporting to you
from NBT News and enroute
to the location now.
We're coming up to firenado now.
The heat, wait,
pull up, pull up.
[blast]
[phone ringing]
And now onto the
weather, strong winds
are expected today
particularly in Houston, Texas.
Tornado Warning is currently
in place for EF1 rating.
Winds up to 100 miles an
hour in the worst hit areas
across Victoria and Austin.
People are advised not to
travel and to stay indoors.
There's likely to be
falling trees and damage
to some buildings.
[music playing]
[alarm ringing]
But now on to the weather.
[inaudible]
Tornado warning currently
in place for EF1 rating
with up to 100 miles an hour--
[door bell ringing]
Mr. Moore?
Yes.
I have a parcel for you.
I need your signature, please.
Couldn't you have
left it with security?
Well, I need your
signature so I can't just
hand the parcel to anyone.
I need you to
personally sign for it.
Very well.
Is that all?
Yeah, that's it.
Thank you.
Arth, where is he?
Arth, in future if you can let
someone through my main gate
to my front door, sure
to give me some warning.
I can't have people
just strolling in here.
I pay you a lot of money to
be my set of eyes and ears.
Ain't a lot of
point me paying you
if you ain't going
to do your job.
Sorry, boss.
It's OK.
Just be more vigilant next time.
If we get any more
deliveries, you let me know,
I'll come to the gate.
Understood.
Thank you.
[eerie music]
Let me take this.
You're late, Anna.
I know.
I'm sorry.
My alarm didn't go off.
It's so early.
Oh, don't worry.
I'll try and make up
the time on the road.
We have to be at Lawton's
field in under an hour.
Actually, Deborah knows.
I was hoping maybe
we could talk.
Haven't got time now, Anna.
Can it wait until tomorrow?
After all we're on the verge
of a momentous breakthrough
and tomorrow will
be a glorious day.
Anus.
Hi, Anna.
Hey.
[music playing]
Hey, Helena, cappuccino me.
Oh, yeah.
Help me hold that, thanks.
There we go.
Wow, Greg, doesn't that burn?
Well, yeah, yeah.
Totally burns but
I need the keg.
Helena, chuck that out
of the window for me.
Whoa, Greg.
I'm no having the planet ruined
any more than it already is.
[music playing]
You seem quite, Anna.
Are you all right?
Yeah, I'm fine.
Must be the nerves.
This greatest scientific
breakthrough of the decade.
Is there something
on your mind, Greg?
No, just super excited, man.
How is your drone?
Hey, we talked about this man.
This is not a drone, this is
a tornado infiltration unit.
Don't get it twisted.
No, that's funny
because it looks exactly
like my 12-year-old
cousin's drone.
OK, Anna, fine.
Yes, it's mounted on a drone,
okay, but how else
am I going to get it up there,
put it on a kite?
Whoa.
Ben Franklin much.
Easy, Greg.
The coffee is kicking in.
No, I'm just trying to work.
Some of us actually
work around here.
You should be happy, Anna,
this is your first outing.
Well, I didn't do much.
Well, everyone plays their
part, you remember that.
Yeah, yeah.
I thought I'd be doing more.
Your time will come.
Next project you'll be
there from the start,
you'll get more responsibility,
you just joined in a busy time.
Lawton's app, we're here.
Havarti, everyone.
Havarti.
[music playing]
Come on off.
Havarti, Greg, Havarti.
Running all the way.
The experiment will
commence at 10:00 AM.
Helena, give me a read.
Traveling 70 miles per
hour in the center for us
at 500 meters.
That's 60 miles per hour
heading North Easterly
and arching slightly 10 degrees.
Which means?
It's coming this way.
Are we going to be OK here?
Oh, yes, it's perfect.
When it gets up to 200 yards
we'll launch the device.
Greg are you ready?
Is the drone ready?
Tornado infiltration unit.
Well.
She'll fly captain.
Oh, captain.
Yes, I like it.
OK, everybody let's get ready.
Helena I want you
to track the course,
make sure it doesn't deviate.
Oh, and Anna, take notes,
record for posterity.
Yes, captain.
400 meters.
OK, boys and girls, it
looks like we've got
ourselves a rope tornado here.
You know why they
call it a rope, Anna?
Why is that, Devlin?
Because it's all like a rope.
God himself could
shimmy down this one.
300 meters.
Devlin, this thing looks like
it's moving at a pace, man.
I suggest we move our asses,
get this thing in there,
so we can get the
hell out of the way.
OK.
Take to the skies Greg my boy.
All right.
All right.
Come on.
Fly for me baby, fly.
Get in course then activate it.
Now, Anna, film
something for me.
Filming in landscape, Anna.
I want cinematography here.
Drop.
Recording.
Good day, everybody.
Time here is
approaching 10:00 AM,
welcome to our extreme
weather experiment.
The device that we're about to
launch into this tornado which
is currently registering
at an EF1 level
uses electromagnetic pulses
and emits chemical adjusters
that can shift the balance
of warm and cold air and form
malleable pockets.
You want to try one in English
for our less scientific viewers
to understand, boss.
Which means we can
enhance the energy
building inside this thing
and we can manipulate.
In theory we can make it
bigger and there's also
another possibility.
It's close.
Hey, doc, we're going to have
to get this thing in there soon,
man, I'm having trouble
holding it in position.
It needs to go right in
the middle of the twister
right now.
Right, It's arcing now, you need
to hit it side on, OK, it'll
penetrate better.
That's what she said.
Oh, well, Greg focus.
Bad joke.
OK, let's move.
Come on.
[music playing]
Hey, guys, no closer.
OK, yeah.
This is as far as we go.
Uh uh, I've got to get close, I
got to make sure this gets in OK
Be careful Greg and
be prepared to run.
I'm going to punch it in.
Get in there bitch.
Yeah.
Great shot, now activate it.
Oh, my god, we're active.
Calibrating the formation
and the gas composition.
I'm reading speed,
size, and velocity.
Hey I'm activating the
chemical and electrical pulses,
the particles expanding.
The rope formation
is spiraling faster
and amalgamate even more gases.
What does that mean?
It means the son of a
bitch is getting bigger.
It had to be wise.
Did you ever doubt it?
Oh, with in church.
Not for a second.
This is great.
I'm going to intensify it.
No, Greg, no.
What?
Devlin, it works tell
him to shut it down.
Oh, man, this is beautiful.
Whoa.
Oh, my god.
It's all turning shape,
it's intensifying rapidly.
She's right.
It's a cone formation.
We're officially category grade.
Devlin!
Devlin!
OK, yeah, Greg, shut
it down, that's enough.
I can make it bigger,
we could go further.
We've worked too hard
for too long, man.
Let's go further.
Shut it down, Greg,
it's dangerous.
I got control of it.
Yeah, I think
actually I can push it
away by altering the
magnetic balance.
Come on.
Don't get so close.
Greg, stop.
Stop.
Currently 4, Greg shut it down.
Fine, just give me a minute.
It's not responding.
Charging against,
increasing in size.
What?
It's exploding and moving.
It's going to head to us.
When?
About 30 seconds.
We got to run.
Greg, it doesn't mean anything.
In 30 seconds, we need to run.
I can't do it, I can't do it.
Come on, Greg, come on.
You can make it.
Fuck, I can do
it, I can't do it.
Come on, Greg.
[screams]
Anna, just go ahead
and take deep breaths.
[sobs]
Cause he's fucking dead.
He's gone.
Jesus.
Oh, god.
All right, where's it heading?
It's on a trajectory east
heading out to the coast.
But I can see an inward
arc beginning to fall.
Do you think it might
head inland again?
I don't know.
We need to beat it.
No, no, no, no.
There's got to be a
way to stop it, right?
Why couldn't he
have just listened?
Why didn't we-- we tried
to tell him to stop.
We tried to warn him.
Maybe we shouldn't have
played God in the first place.
No.
We mustn't forget the
reasons for doing this.
Greg wanted it too.
No, we can still fix this.
We can still make this right.
Helen.
What?
Keep track of the
speed and the course.
I'm going to try
and get ahead of it.
Come on, you rusty
piece of shit.
[mysterious music]
[knocks on door]
Come in.
Come on.
Relax.
Yes, boss?
Yes, Thomas.
Well, I've noticed we've had
some inclement weather today.
Yeah, it's a bit windy.
A bit windy.
OK.
What is that?
Weather coverage up to date.
And this here, in the
middle of the screen,
passing across the
west of the country
is a force four tornado.
Force four, is that a lot?
Christ, Thomas, no.
Out of 5.
And it's increasing
intensity too.
This is already the
most powerful tornado
to hit these shores.
It's missing all the
major cities thankfully.
I don't understand.
What's this got to do with us?
Around this area here is a
country house currently being
rented by one Pierce Moore.
Never heard of him.
Well, you wouldn't have.
He's an accountant.
But he works for Tony Markwell.
Oh, I've heard of him.
Moore's got pretty
simple Joe Brady.
He takes in launder
money in big stashes
and oversees it until he's
curried on to deals, et cetera.
There's money awaiting, boys.
And then there's small
security team and an accountant
protecting him.
So this guy must get
robbed all the time.
Would you rob anything
from Markwell?
Well, no, but--
Technically, but we have
a window here, boys.
This tornado is going to
pass close to his place
in about two hours.
We can get there in 90
minutes, by which time
if he's got any sense,
him and his security team
would have evacuated
to the nearest town
or bowled themselves in the
basement, if there is one.
You want to rip him off?
That can be anywhere between
a quarter and 3/4 of a million
in stash there.
And that's just one
stash he has too.
So how many guards do they have?
At least two.
Maybe more.
What about the security system?
That's the beauty of it.
We can cut communication
and power to the whole area.
And they'll just put
it down to the twister.
We get in.
And we get out.
And we will have what
is known in the traders,
plausible deniability.
Are you boys game?
I'm in.
I'm not sure, boss.
That was a rhetorical
question, Tommy.
You come in now.
Tool up, you slugs.
We're going treasure hunting.
Come on, fuck off.
[suspenseful music]
I think I've made
a breakthrough.
OK.
What have you got?
Right.
OK.
Just take the next left.
And then we need to get within
500 meters of the tornado.
Is that even safe?
Oh, yeah, don't worry.
I'm on it.
We'll be safe to
about 400 yards.
But that is until it
intensifies again.
OK.
So what do we do?
Well, I'll have made
some adjustments.
And I think I can hone in on
the TIU's directional system.
You can retrieve it?
Of course.
Well done, Helena.
No, we don't retrieve it
now but we can use it.
How?
I use steering wheel.
You can drive that thing?
In a manner of speaking, we
can slowly pull the off-back
and still be going inland.
Hopefully, she'll go out to sea.
Great, great.
Let's do that.
There's a problem.
Well, the trajectory
you set it on,
it's going to take it straight
through several houses.
Well, they were close.
Surely they would
have evacuated.
Not necessarily.
If this thing goes straight
over a country house,
it'll destroy it in a moment.
If the power intensifies,
it'll strip out a basement.
Well, then we get ahead of
this thing, and we warn them.
OK.
Let's do this.
Oh, shit.
[tires squealing]
Give it a heads-up
next time, Doc.
Yeah, sorry.
It's all right.
All right.
We got to go back on track.
[suspenseful music]
I see it.
OK.
500 yards.
You got a signal?
M-hm.
No, I don't have no signal.
It's getting closer.
It's 470 now.
One more sec.
What exactly is our
safety cut-off here?
300 yards to be exact.
400 meters away.
[inaudible]
Got it.
Whoa.
What you you think
[inaudible] to?
Oh, it's not me.
Transmit the new
coordinates now.
Shit, pulling us.
Oh.
Careful, careful.
We can't lose signal now.
Isn't it there yet?
Hold it still.
But why does It always
get stuck on 99?
I've never said, OK,
go, go go go, go, go.
I know, yeah.
Before we see some serious shit.
[suspenseful music]
[breaks]
Devlin!
Shit.
What, did it work?
It worked.
New course set.
Good.
We need to warn people.
Think we're going to have to
keep a quick pace to make it.
Then we keep it.
This is our responsibility.
OK.
One of the first
house coordinates.
Latitude, 89.
Just give me a zip code, Anna.
Sorry, it's 87738.
OK.
We're going to have to get
ahead of this silly game.
What speed's it doing?
It's fluctuating.
Not always moving
in a straight line,
but it's currently
at 55 miles per hour.
[suspenseful music]
Are you ready?
[birds tweeting]
[suspenseful music]
What on earth are you doing?
You know there are weather
warnings in place, don't you?
Yes, we know.
That's why we're here.
I boarded my pantry.
Daughter and I are going
to shut ourselves in soon.
No, no, no.
No, it won't be enough.
Says who?
Says me.
I'm a meteorologist.
We have four minutes.
You are right in the path
of a force four tornado.
I've had stronger farts, love.
I'll be fine.
What's going on?
Hey.
Hey, kid, you got to get
your dad to listen to us.
He's not seeing any sense.
We'll be safe here.
This house has
stood for a century.
This house is going
to be pulled apart
by 170 miles per hour winds.
Do you not understand?
There was a tornado
hitting over all of these.
And it's going to chew this
place up and spit it out.
Listen, you would need to
head west towards Jefferson.
The tornado is going east.
Dad, listen.
We need to leave.
License or not, I will
drive out with you
even if you don't want.
This is utter nonsense.
Anna, Helena, it's
time to leave.
Hey, does that look
like nonsense to you?
[foreboding music]
Billie, you need to get
in the car right now.
Come on.
[suspenseful music]
Come on, man, what
are you doing?
Anna, they've been warned.
We have to go.
Seriously?
[suspenseful music]
Is everyone all right?
There's no one left inside?
Jesus.
Thank you for warning us.
So sorry about the house.
Helena, come on.
[suspenseful music]
Damn.
What's wrong?
I've been trying to
figure out a way that we
can reverse these effects.
You think there might be a way?
If there is, I can't find it.
Greg's control unit
had a fail-safe.
The system registered
to him as initiating it,
but clearly it failed.
The fail-safe failed.
But that's just perfect.
I've always been in control.
And we study every exercise.
How can I let this happen?
We all let it happen.
Einstein would turn in his
grave if he could see my work.
Doc, the twister's
headed straight
on a trajectory from the first
house to the second, right?
Pretty much.
Through the woodland?
Yeah.
I know I'm going to regret
this, but why do you ask?
On the far side of Raslow's
Wood, there's a gas station.
Looks like our twister is
headed straight through it.
Should we be worried?
If the pass is closed, straight
over I guess it could--
Could what?
You don't want to know.
Ooh, do we have
time to warn people?
[inaudible] called.
It's just a few miles up ahead.
Thank God.
[foreboding music]
The gas station should
be up here on the right.
No sign of the twister.
It's been slowing.
It should be here.
[suspenseful music]
Devlin?
What?
Dev, you play the bad man.
We'll see you on the other side.
Oh, OK.
Is there anyone in there?
Hey.
Hey.
Hey, hey, hey, hey, you.
You need to go.
There's a twister.
It's coming over all of this.
There's a twister.
It's too dangerous.
You got to get out of here.
Is there anyone in the back?
Don't know.
No, go.
I said go.
Get out of here.
Hey, you need to leave.
You need to leave now, Helena.
Hey.
Helena!
Yeah.
Is it all clear?
Clear.
OK.
Where's Devlin?
[suspenseful music]
So what exactly could
happen here, Doc?
Wait, we'll see.
I couldn't get it.
The gas compounds
from the machine.
That depends [inaudible].
[blasts]
[gasps]
Oh.
Maybe not.
Christ.
I better go and check
on the readings.
OK.
We better move.
[suspenseful music]
It's picked up speed
after igniting.
That is bigger.
The intensity is increased.
Jesus.
I thought they were really meant
to last a couple of minutes?
Well, they do usually.
But there was one in
Australia that lasted for 40.
Jesus.
Yeah, I know.
We're already up
to a category five.
How far to the second house?
It's 10 minutes.
Where's the twister now?
Running parallel to
us, 55 miles per hour.
But we've got the short
angle to the second house
so we should be able
to get ahead of it.
[suspenseful music]
When we do arrive?
Four minutes.
When will the twister hit?
Six minutes.
Oh, shit.
That's not enough time.
OK.
There's a dirt track up
ahead 50 yards to the right.
I'm going to take it.
What?
We'll cut through the
fields near the house.
This isn't exactly
all-terrain, Doc.
Can your suspension handle that?
Mine can't.
The vehicle's may though.
Jesus, we should
have bought a Jeep.
Maybe this wasn't
such a good idea.
No, no.
It's OK.
We'll make it good time.
[suspenseful music]
Winds picking up.
You get everything you need?
I'm getting from this place now.
Bring it straight
down the basement.
OK.
[knocks on door]
Hello?
What's going on?
You need to leave now.
Leave?
That's a tornado nearby.
We're going downstairs
to the basement.
Sir, listen, you
don't understand.
It is heading right through you.
What is it?
They say that we need to leave.
The tornado is going to come
right through the house.
Well, we can't leave.
We need to stay put.
It is a force five tornado.
Your house isn't
going to survive it.
Force five?
Absolute rubbish.
Not just force five.
It's on fire too.
I'm begging, if you don't
leave now, you're going to die.
OK.
We told them.
Come on, we have to go.
No, no, no.
I'm not leaving until it goes.
It's OK.
We're going to go.
Come on, Dad, we need to move.
You've got two minutes.
Think I can help you?
No, we haven't got time.
We've got to get to the
other house as well.
He's right.
We've got to go.
Be quick, please.
Be quick.
Yeah.
Dad, Dad, hurry up!
[suspenseful music]
Wait.
Why are they leaving?
Dad!
Dad, oh my god!
Oh my god, no!
Come on!
Move!
Dad, Dad, Dad!
Dad!
[screams]
Aah!
[gasps]
Come on, get in the van.
What have we done?
Hey, hey, you OK?
Don't touch me.
You did this!
You started this!
No, don't do this.
We'll save the next
one, I promise.
[suspenseful music]
What?
Here.
OK.
Signal blocker is activated.
I am so ready for this.
Whoo!
You're a fucking idiot.
You're not exactly
subtle, are you, Thomas?
Look, I've been
checking the news,
and this tornado's caught fire.
It's heading our way.
A fire tornado?
That's sick.
[chuckles]
What?
Oh, we're going to have
enough time to get in and out.
Don't start fretting.
We'll get in, get
the money and leave.
We can't be sure this thing
will be anywhere near us.
Weather forecasters are just
guessing where it'll go.
And if ever you were thinking
of backing out on me now,
I'll shoot you me fucking self.
Well, come on.
Let's gear up.
[suspenseful music]
Hey, how's night going?
It's slow tonight.
I'm going to get some coffee.
Do you want one?
Yeah, thank you.
Thank you.
[suspenseful music]
[gunshots]
You're all right?
I think so.
[suspenseful music]
What the fuck?
Hello, is anybody there?
Boys.
What's going on?
I don't know.
[suspenseful music]
Hands up.
Step away from the box, asshole.
What the fuck are you doing?
[gunshot]
We're just changing
the electricity, buddy.
(ON RADIO) Hello,
buddies, be vigilant.
I can't get a
signal on my phone.
Come in, anyone hear me?
You're welcome.
[grunts]
Fuck ya.
I'm scared.
It's all right.
I'm sure it's nothing.
[suspenseful music]
Two of them.
What's this about?
Why are you here?
Take a wild guess.
It's left some
fires in its path.
But so far, it doesn't
look like anyone else died.
OK.
Nearly there.
I'll ask again.
Where's the fucking money?
I'll tell you again, I don't
know what you're talking about.
There is no money.
We know you're an
accountant, Moore.
And we know who you work for.
I run an office in Draunston.
It's a small practice.
I told you, you
got the wrong man.
I'll kill her.
I will fucking kill her.
I'll fucking kill her.
[gunshot]
[laughter]
We don't need to do that.
We're doing all right for such
a humble businessman, ain't ya?
What's this one worth?
One?
1.2 million?
I've got rich parents.
What are you looking at?
Shit.
Wake up, you ass wipe.
Boss, we haven't
got time for this.
Shut it, you tart.
Just go on searching.
Now!
Tear this place apart.
You, bring the cars
in and check upstairs.
We'll take it downstairs.
Tommy!
Yes, boss.
You know, the more I
look back, the more I
think we could
have used a smaller
magnetic pull on the device.
Lowered the hydrogen levels.
So if we do this again, I'm sure
we can keep one under control
at a smaller scale anyway.
Again?
Again?
Great things can be done
with this technology.
Yes, and in the wrong
hands, terrible things.
Just leave it, Devlin.
All right.
Just leave it.
We're here.
Just pull over.
I wonder if there's
anybody still here.
Maybe they evacuated already.
No, look, there's three cars.
Wait here.
I'm going to check.
You better be quick.
We've got five minutes.
[motor revs]
[suspenseful music]
Lovely.
Come on, come on.
Look.
Fuck!
Where is it?
Fuck!
It's not fucking here!
Oh!
Hey.
Hey.
Hey, come on, wake up.
Look at me.
Hey.
Hey.
Who the hell are you?
It doesn't matter.
There's two guys downstairs.
Lady, there's three of them.
What do they want?
[coughs]
Money.
[coughs]
Over there on the table,
there's some scissors.
Just cut it off.
OK.
[wind blowing]
[suspenseful music]
Shit.
Hurry.
Yeah.
They will come in
back any minute.
Get a knife from the kitchen.
Boss, it's Moore.
He's escaped some girl.
And he's armed.
Well, so are you.
Get after the bastard now.
There's another thing.
The twister, it's getting close.
It's coming.
So?
We'll burn.
Then we'll burn.
Move!
[suspenseful music]
[gunshot]
Ahhhh!
Come on.
How is it?
Where is she?
[panting]
Fucking.
I'll fucking kill him.
I'll fucking kill him.
[screams]
[inaudible] you bastard.
Tommy!
Oh!
Oh.
Hello, you.
Where's my fucking money?
I fucking told you,
there is no money.
Where is my fucking--
who the fuck are you?
I'm not anyone.
Give me the fucking
money or I'm going
to blow your fucking head off.
What you doing?
Let's go.
Let's go.
Let's go.
My god, let's go.
[motor revs off]
Come on, pick up.
Boss?
Oh.
Oh.
[gunshots]
I'm here.
Are you OK?
[gunshot]
Get in.
Fuck is going on here?
Fuck.
Where, were you?
Does it fucking matter?
Get in the car.
Hey.
Hey, it's me.
We're headed to a
safe place by the sea.
It's northeast.
I'll send you the location now.
Yeah.
Just make sure
you're not tailed.
OK.
Yeah.
OK.
Northeast, I got it.
Northeast.
Oh, wait a minute.
Oh, god.
What the fuck is happening?
Fucking way, get out
of the way asshole!
[laughter]
[gunshots]
[screams]
Fucking guns!
Oh, god.
I never thought I'd get to see
the day when I said this, it's
time to engage the hyperdrive.
[engine revs]
Whoa.
Why didn't you tell
me we had that?
Oh, it's a one-way ride.
[inaudible]
[screams]
Should follow them?
No, we want the money.
We go after Moore.
Who the hell are those guys?
Why are they shooting at us?
Just keep your head down.
Where exactly are we going?
I've got a place by the sea.
It should be safe there.
OK.
And where is this in my life?
[suspenseful music]
What's happening?
Oh, baby, what
have I done to you?
I think the hyperdrive
might have killed her.
On the upside, I
think we lost them.
I guess we're going
to be all right.
Well, thank God for that.
What are we going
to do about Anna?
I guess we go on on foot.
You've got to be kidding me.
I've got the controller.
You grab the tablet.
Tell me my eyes
are deceiving me.
I can explain.
I think it's pretty
self-explanatory.
I mean, what are we now,
fucking mercenaries?
We were developing weaponry.
No, it's not that.
Well, how can you be so sure?
How do you know what
Skylab was going
to do with it when we were
seeing what it could do even
with good intent?
I just thought--
I--
I just thought--
We trusted you, Devlin.
What are you going to do,
take the money and run?
No, I would have
split it equally.
Yeah, but I wouldn't
have taken it.
I know.
That's why I didn't sign.
I'm sorry.
It was a moment of weakness.
They came to me with the offer.
I didn't accept it.
I'll never trust
you again, Devlin.
Anyway, we've got
more pressing matters.
Oh, my gosh.
They're gaining on us.
[motor revving]
[gunshot]
[screams]
Take this.
Make it count.
What do you mean, make it count?
It seems you got
the noose, have you?
Yeah.
Aim for the tires.
I don't know how to shoot.
Come on.
Pull the trigger.
[gunshots]
[screams]
You scared them.
Fucking shit, fuck.
Fuck, why did this happen?
You're getting in
the fucking way.
You're not going to do anything.
I'm going to fix it.
Yeah?
You better because I'm
getting your fucking money.
I said I can fix this.
Fucking fix it.
Fucking god.
No!
Fuck!
We lost them.
Why is that word exciting?
[laughter]
Helena, wait.
No, wait up.
We've got a big problem.
What?
Their location is
northeast, right?
And?
Guess what's heading that way.
What?
Can't be.
That's north of the
original projection.
It's changed its course.
It's going straight for them.
Oh, god.
Hey.
You don't look so good.
Try to stay awake, yeah?
I'll try.
But I don't feel
so good, it's all.
I'm Pierce, by the way.
I'm Anna.
Nice to meet you.
So not bad for a
first date, huh?
[laughter]
Yeah.
Gunfights, outrunning tornadoes.
I think I've had better
for six, to be honest.
Why were they after you anyway?
It's complicated.
Yeah.
But they were looking
for something?
Money.
[laughter]
What, you got a bank
vault under your house?
It's funny you should say that.
It's not too far off.
I'll be completely
honest with you, Anna.
I'm in some deep shit
with some bad people.
And
I'm going to count them with
a very select clientele,
let's say.
And I'm holding on
to its welded money.
So not legal, but
I'm going to do good.
It's far from legal.
Thing is, now that I've
done a few jobs for them,
I'm under their thumb.
And can't get out.
Just don't know what to do.
Anyway, look, enough about me.
Tell me about yourself.
Me?
I'm nobody.
Nobody?
Come on, man.
Don't be crazy.
You just saved my life.
You're pretty amazing.
Well, me and my colleagues,
we were tracking the twister.
Tracking it?
What you mean, like
meteorologists or venture
seekers?
I studied meteorology.
I took an internship
with Dr. Devlin.
He's pretty renowned
in his field
but kind of a black sheep.
Black sheep?
How
Oh, he's a crackpot with
wild ideas, at least
that's what people say.
What do you say?
I say, he's a crackpot
with wild ideas.
But he's a good man.
So how did your get
on into all this?
Do you enjoy it?
Actually, I... thought
I was going to quit today
Quit, why?
Uh... Devlin has his quirks,
um...
I respect him a lot.
And he's always been kind to me.
But he's so focused
on his own work
that I feel like I'm
not learning anything.
I get to get the coffee.
Well, glad you
didn't quit today.
But it sounds like he's not
all he's cracked up to be.
Yeah.
I did get offered
another position
with a rival in the field.
Is that good?
You're going to take it?
I don't know.
I really don't feel so good.
Pierce?
Hey.
Are you OK?
Moore!
Fuck!
Get in the car.
We're going to get a fuck
away from this twister.
What?
What about Nate?
What the fuck are
you looking at Tommy?
What about fucking Nate?
Fuck that.
He's on his own.
[breathing heavily]
Fuck.
[suspenseful music]
[scream]
Are you OK?
Yeah.
I think so.
Better thanks to you.
So this place yours or
another perk of the job?
It's mine.
But it's a perk
of an inheritance.
I don't like to
speak about it much,
but not got many too many
fond memories of this place.
A lot of traumatic
shit happens here.
Yeah, I get that.
My, um-- my folks are gone too.
Not exactly the warmest people.
But I still feel guilty.
Guilty?
How so?
Not being more upset
when they died I guess.
I actually feel worse
about betraying Devlin.
That wasn't a betrayal, Anna.
And feels like it sometimes.
He's not exactly a
father figure but it's
kind of like a crazy
uncle or something.
So it feels like family though.
Yeah, I get that.
It's strange I kind of feel a
strange connection between us.
It must be the adrenaline.
Maybe.
Escaping danger,
it's kind of a rush.
And you, do you
think we're safe now?
I hope so.
I don't see how they could
ever find this place.
Just try to relax and wait
for the others to arrive.
We're here.
And there's the car.
Anna.
Anna.
She's in here.
They made it.
Got you, Anna.
We were being shot at.
Who were those people?
What did they want?
It's all right.
It's a long story.
I'm sorry.
You are?
I'm Pierce.
Look, I'm really sorry--
Perhaps we could hold
off on the introductions.
We have to leave.
The twister's imminent.
It's coming here?
Yeah.
Oh, my god.
Are you going to be OK to drive?
I should be.
Oh, great.
And when we're clear, and
the twisters subsided at sea,
we can track and
retrace the units.
Devlin, can you just stop?
All right?
Anna, we need to go.
No, no.
Helena listen to me.
Are you OK?
Yeah, thanks.
Please, just listen to me.
[sighs]
We need to retrieve it.
Why on earth when we just let it
sink to the bottom of the ocean
floor?
You forget it was
designed to float.
Yeah.
And then what good would it be?
Maybe we can still
perfect the technology.
If we know how to increase the
mass and velocity of a tornado,
maybe we could even subdue one.
It could avert a
lot of destruction.
This is not just me, Helena.
We all have a choice.
We can retrieve it.
Destroy the prototype, erase all
of our research so no one else
can recreate it.
Or we perfect it
and keep control.
So what's your decision?
I haven't made it yet.
Well, you know my stance.
Oh!
God.
Lord.
Who the fuck are you?
[inaudible]
[suspenseful music]
[gunshot]
[gunshot]
[scream]
They split up.
You go right.
If we don't get you,
the tornado will.
You're a long way
from home, Dorothy.
And Ruby's slippers aren't
going to save you now.
Come, come get you up.
[grunts]
[whistles]
[gunshot]
Ladies and gentlemen,
people of all ages,
today we're going
to play a game.
Here we have two doors.
Behind one, the grand prize.
Round and round and round, I go.
Where we stop, nobody knows.
[gunshots]
Door number one, nothing to see.
Door number two, who will it be?
[gunshot]
[grunts]
Where are you?
One more door.
[inaudible]
Let's have some fun.
Time's up.
[grunts]
Mother fucker.
I told you, I don't know
where your money is.
[sobs]
Anna.
That's enough.
Where's Anna?
Shh.
She's safe.
[glass breaks]
Hey, it's OK.
Sshhh.
You stay back.
Listen to me, Devlin.
I said, go.
And you didn't mean any of it.
[crying]
There, there.
All will be OK.
I won't let you down.
[inaudible]
Oh, don't cry.
I'm sorry.
Don't cry, Helena.
But look--
I need to go.
We all have to go.
[suspenseful music]
Now, I know you're his
girlfriend or something.
So you must know
where my money is.
Tell me where it is, and I'll
let you walk out of here.
[suspenseful music]
Gotcha.
Fuck is she?
[gunshot]
[grunts]
[gunshot and glass breaks]
[panting]
Anna, where are you?
Are you OK?
He's heading around this way.
We got to go.
Let's go.
Come on.
[screams]
Here, guys, it's clear.
We can-- oh.
Anna.
It's OK.
It's OK.
Take the other side please.
OK.
Fuck!
Oh, been trying to
get out of here fast.
[suspenseful music]
Come on, come on.
[blasts]
So you think he'll be OK?
I really don't know.
I hope so.
You're going to be OK?
Yeah, I'll be fine.
OK.
Well, what better way for
the [inaudible] around here.
Thanks.
Anna.
Where's Anna?
Here, we'll be here, Doc.
You did well today.
Sorry.
Don't try and talk.
Just hold on.
You wanted to talk to me
about something this morning.
It's not important now.
OK, Anna.
I know.
My old friend, Malco,
told me you'd applied.
I thought you were rivals.
Friendly rivalry.
Don't worry, I gave you
a glowing reference.
I'm so sorry.
No, I'm sorry.
I should have been
more attentive.
But I promise you, I
am very, very proud.
Do something for me?
Yeah, anything.
Destroy everything, every
trace of this damn create.
Every trace.
Help me sit up, would you?
I want to watch this.
[sobs]
It is beautiful.
[music playing]
