00:00:00Samantha Byram in the weather center as we watch the progression of this storm.
00:00:04Samantha.
00:00:16Bye. Have a good day.
00:00:27Oh, I like your picture.
00:00:30Oh, come on guys. Again? I haven't had milk with my cereal in over a week.
00:00:35Mine's charred too, Brant. I want to try to save you some.
00:00:38Sorry. I'm starting to enjoy the crisp texture of cornflakes in the morning.
00:00:41Sorry, Brant. This past week's really been tight and I haven't made another trip to the store,
00:00:45but did you check to see if there's any bread for toast?
00:00:47Oh no, it's fine, Mom. Really. I should get paid tonight after my shift,
00:00:49so I'll just pick something up from work.
00:00:55I really appreciate all you do, Brant. I know how hard you've been working lately.
00:00:59I'm showing the McConnell's treehouse to this couple for the third time,
00:01:01and as soon as this sale goes through, things are really going to start looking up.
00:01:04That's great, Mom. Good luck. I get off at nine,
00:01:07so just call me at the store if you think of anything you need me to bring home.
00:01:10Thanks, Brant.
00:01:12Hey, Brant. Want me to the bus stop? I have about 50 vocab flashcards Huckadeezical is on.
00:01:17Okay. Lackadaisical.
00:01:21Oh, lack of daisies. Can you keep an eighth grade for my sake, please?
00:01:25Hey, you're going to have to learn soon enough. You're really close, though.
00:01:28You two better hurry up. Brant's going to miss her bus.
00:01:30Yes, Ma'am.
00:01:31Love you, Mom.
00:01:32Love you, too, guys. Have a good day.
00:01:34And bundle up. There's supposed to be a pretty heavy snow tonight.
00:01:37Bye, Mom.
00:01:52Mom, are you almost ready? I don't want to be late again.
00:01:56Mary Jake, I thought I told you I had a job interview this morning.
00:02:00It's on the complete opposite side of town. You're going to have to take the bus.
00:02:04Are you kidding me? It's freezing outside, Mom.
00:02:08What about Dad?
00:02:09Don't bother your father. He was up again half the night.
00:02:12He needs to catch up on his rest. You know how stressed he's been lately.
00:02:14Well, maybe if I still had my own car, I wouldn't have to be such a burden on you.
00:02:18Mary Jake, I don't want to hear it. You know as well as I do why you don't.
00:02:23I'll see you after school.
00:02:27And you act like it's my fault.
00:02:31I guess I'll freeze to death waiting for the bus.
00:02:37Did you get something to eat, sweetie?
00:02:39Uh, there's some bacon and eggs left if you want, or I could toast you a bagel real quick.
00:02:45No, um, I'm not that hungry. I'll just grab a banana or something.
00:02:49Well, sweetie, a banana is not going to tide you over till lunch.
00:02:52Breakfast is the most important meal of the day.
00:02:54Just give me two minutes. I can make you a cinnamon raisin bagel.
00:02:57Mom, don't worry about it. It will just get wasted. I'm not that hungry.
00:03:01Oh, uh, Lynn, do you need a check for your lunch count?
00:03:04Seems like it's been a while since I've given you one.
00:03:07No, I'm fine. Um, they lowered the prices in food lately,
00:03:10so it's just lasted a lot longer, that's all.
00:03:12Plus, it's the last day before Christmas break anyway, so see you later.
00:03:24Hey, Dad, wait up!
00:03:44Hey, can I catch a ride with you? My car's been acting up in the cold.
00:03:46I'm really running behind this morning, son, and I want to pick up Starbucks on the way.
00:03:50Mindy's still out on maternity leave.
00:03:51Dad, it's right on the way.
00:03:53You know, you can walk there as quickly as I can drive you, Grayson.
00:03:56If your car's still acting up later, we'll take it to the dealership. I gotta go.
00:04:08Anyways, I'm so sick of how she acts like her life is so much more important than mine.
00:04:12Riding the bus this morning was humiliating. What a way to start Christmas vacation.
00:04:17Sweetie, you know you can call me next time.
00:04:19The mini is a little bit small for three, but we can make it work.
00:04:23I can't have you waiting at the bus stop.
00:04:25How long is your car going to be in the shop, though?
00:04:27It seems like it's been forever.
00:04:29Who knows? It's messed up pretty bad.
00:04:32Geez, you think your parents would at least rent you something while you're waiting.
00:04:35Yeah, well, it's like I said, their lives are so much more important than mine.
00:04:39You poor thing.
00:05:23Attention, students.
00:05:24The National Weather Service has just issued a severe snowstorm warning for our area.
00:05:28Your remaining exams will be rescheduled following the holiday break.
00:05:32Please contact your parents or guardians immediately so they may arrange to transport you home.
00:05:37Due to the severity of the storm, we will only allow students to drive themselves home
00:05:42once their parents have given permission.
00:05:45All students that have not been picked up or signed out by 2 p.m.
00:05:49are to wait in the gym until transportation has been arranged.
00:05:53Oh, my mom's showing today.
00:06:23Hey, guys, listen up.
00:06:32Bobby Cawthorne, Caroline Tripp, Tiffany Reeves, Jason Carnegie, Damon Bryant, Jessica Walsh,
00:06:39Amy Price, Andrea Redman, and John Gloria, you are free to go.
00:06:44The rest of you, we're still waiting to hear from your parents before the school can allow
00:06:47you to leave.
00:06:49Now, if we hear from them and they don't want you driving during the inclement weather,
00:06:53then I'm afraid that you're going to have to wait here until they can come get you.
00:06:58Thanks, guys.
00:07:11Look, I don't care.
00:07:12I am not sitting here all day.
00:07:14Sydney, just call the school and pretend to be my mom.
00:07:17Hey, are you okay?
00:07:21Oh, you've got to be kidding me.
00:07:23No one is going to find out it's you.
00:07:25I'll run out the door really quick.
00:07:27Please.
00:07:32Dad, it's me.
00:07:33I know you're in a meeting.
00:07:35It's not an emergency.
00:07:36I'm fine.
00:07:36I just I really need you to call the school so they can release me.
00:07:40Okay, it's only going to take 30 seconds.
00:07:44Thanks, Dad.
00:07:46Bye, I guess.
00:07:53Okay.
00:08:02Well, hello, students.
00:08:04I'm sorry I've not been able to get a hold of your parents.
00:08:07The school's attempted to contact them as well, but unfortunately, we have no luck either.
00:08:14I'm going to attempt to go home to my own children before the storm gets any worse.
00:08:18Mrs. Burgess will be here near the phones and she'll be checking on you periodically
00:08:22until everyone has been dismissed.
00:08:40Well, all right then.
00:08:43Basketball, anyone?
00:08:46Yeah, man, I'm in.
00:08:49Lynn, did you want to shoot a few?
00:08:50No, no, I'm not very good.
00:08:53And you think I am?
00:08:55Come on.
00:09:02Not like we have anything better to do.
00:09:15Hey, what's her name?
00:09:16Dude, how do you not know her name?
00:09:19Give him a break, Brant.
00:09:20He's only gone here a few weeks.
00:09:22It's Mary Jake.
00:09:23Mary Jake Harper.
00:09:24Her family owns like half of Raleigh and her dad is...
00:09:27Hey, Mary Jake, come join us.
00:09:30I'm good, really.
00:09:31Come on, what are you afraid of?
00:09:34Nothing, okay?
00:09:35I just don't feel like playing.
00:09:36Well, I don't really feel like being stuck in the gym all night either, but
00:09:39it looks like we're kind of out of luck, so...
00:09:41Come on.
00:10:06Okay, so let's play horse.
00:10:09But if you miss your shot, you have to tell everyone the reason why you're stuck here today.
00:10:13Come on, man, that's dumb.
00:10:16I agree.
00:10:17What's so dumb about it?
00:10:18What do you have to hide?
00:10:19I didn't mean it like that.
00:10:20Okay, then you can go first.
00:10:24I know you're new here, so probably no one told you, but Grayson's our local basketball legend.
00:10:29They framed his jersey last year and put it in the principal's office.
00:10:32Hope they washed it first.
00:10:39Camille, you next?
00:10:45Uh, sure.
00:11:01All right, Camille, spill it.
00:11:04I talked to my dad.
00:11:05Actually, he and my mom are in meetings all day and they couldn't get away.
00:11:09Don't you have a car?
00:11:10Yeah, yes, I do.
00:11:12But I don't like to drive in the snow, so I'm waiting here until they can come.
00:11:17Well, get someone else your get-out-of-jail card then.
00:11:20Some of us aren't choosing to be stuck here.
00:11:23Why are you stuck here then, Mary Jake?
00:11:25I'm not playing.
00:11:26Yeah, I know.
00:11:27That's okay.
00:11:27I'm just asking.
00:11:30Fine, then.
00:11:31My car's in the shop and my parents are very busy because they're very important people.
00:11:37Happy now?
00:11:38Yep.
00:11:39Brant?
00:12:05I told you I was terrible.
00:12:08But no one cares if you're good at basketball.
00:12:15I drive and my car is here, but my parents are so protective.
00:12:19They don't want me driving this weather.
00:12:21So now my aunt is supposed to come get me, but she freaks out a little bit too.
00:12:26So I think maybe my great-uncle Lou is coming with a semi-truck after he finishes his route.
00:12:31All right, students.
00:12:37Still no word from your parents.
00:12:38So grab your things.
00:12:40Let's move everyone to the library.
00:12:41That way you can at least catch up on any reading or study you may need to accomplish
00:12:46before Christmas break.
00:12:47There are also emergency lights in there, just in case we lose power.
00:12:52Are you sure my mom hasn't called?
00:12:54I'm sure she's tried.
00:12:56I'm sorry, Miss Harper.
00:13:01Are you coming to the Christmas service?
00:13:11Um, sure.
00:13:13Are you going to be singing?
00:13:14Well, this will be interesting.
00:13:14Yeah, I know.
00:13:15We'll see.
00:13:16It's going to be a fun time.
00:13:22Hey, um, I'm just going to use the restroom.
00:13:27I'll meet you guys there.
00:13:28Okay, we'll see you in a minute.
00:13:31Oh, come on, Sydney.
00:13:41Come on.
00:13:42Hi, you've reached Sydney.
00:13:44I've obviously got something better to do than answer your phone call.
00:13:47So leave a message.
00:13:48Seriously?
00:14:01Lynn, can you go check on Mary Jake?
00:14:25I hope she isn't sick or anything.
00:14:26She seemed a little strange.
00:14:28Mary Jake?
00:14:29Hmm?
00:14:30Yeah, sure, Mrs. Burgess.
00:14:32Okay, thanks.
00:14:57Mary Jake?
00:14:59Mary Jake?
00:15:03Hello?
00:15:12Oh, no.
00:15:20She isn't in the bathroom.
00:15:23What do you mean?
00:15:24Where is she?
00:15:25Mrs. Burgess, I think she may have left the school.
00:15:27I can't say for sure.
00:15:28She's pretty upset she had to stay.
00:15:31Well, how far could she possibly get and know whether she said she didn't have a car?
00:15:35Now, we don't have any reason to believe that she isn't just somewhere else in the school.
00:15:39She could have forgotten something in the gym.
00:15:40Or maybe she just wanted to be alone.
00:15:43Doubtful.
00:15:44When have you ever seen Mary Jake Harper alone?
00:15:46She's got a point, Mrs. Burgess.
00:15:48And I don't even think Mary Jake knows what that word means.
00:15:52I didn't realize.
00:15:55Okay, let's split up and look for her.
00:15:57She could still be somewhere in the school.
00:16:15All right, I'm going this way.
00:16:16Who's coming with me?
00:16:17Yeah, okay, I'll come with you.
00:16:18Meet us back at the library if you find her.
00:16:20Okay, Mrs. Burgess, I'll come with you.
00:16:22Mary Jake?
00:16:24Please come out.
00:16:25Does she have a favorite teacher or a classroom where she might have gone?
00:16:30Mrs. Burgess, I'm sorry, but I don't know much more about Mary Jake other than what
00:16:34outfit she wears each day to school.
00:16:36But she probably has like 20 friends who would ride their bike into the blizzard and come
00:16:40get her if she wanted them to.
00:16:45Let's go.
00:16:51Hey, Jake.
00:16:55Hello?
00:16:56I think Mrs. Burgess is completely pointless.
00:16:58She's probably long gone by now.
00:17:00My point exactly.
00:17:02Not like I've had a conversation with Mary Jake since like preschool, but I think I'm
00:17:07perceptive enough to know that she isn't the type to be hiding in the corner of some classroom
00:17:11pouting.
00:17:12So what you guys are saying is that she went out into the storm with no car?
00:17:14Any logical person would know that isn't the best plan.
00:17:18Maybe she called someone to come pick her up.
00:17:19Sydney could have come or maybe her mom or Don.
00:17:22Well, then we should check the entrance, just so we know.
00:17:25Can we make a pit stop first?
00:17:26Don't you run off on us too?
00:17:28I'd like to keep my fingers and toes.
00:17:33I like her spunk.
00:17:35Yeah, Camille didn't used to be so spunky.
00:17:37What do you mean?
00:17:39Back in middle school, she was Miss Social Butterfly.
00:17:42You know, she was super involved with our church and was like the head of the whole
00:17:46choir.
00:17:46You don't believe how good she can sing.
00:17:48You know, she was really cool and fun and always really crazy happy.
00:17:52And then, I don't know, high school happened and I don't really know what she's thinking
00:17:55anymore.
00:17:56But could she use her voice in choir, though?
00:18:02Yeah, I'm a choir nerd.
00:18:04Hey, did you check to make sure she didn't just fall in?
00:18:09No comment.
00:18:12See, it's just spunk.
00:18:21Okay.
00:18:28Shall we place bets?
00:18:3050 bucks says she's climbing into a horse-drawn carriage laughing at us when we open that
00:18:34door.
00:18:35High roller, man.
00:18:36Five bucks says she's off to the faculty bathroom for some privacy.
00:18:39Cafeteria if it'll do that to you.
00:18:41Gross, Brandt.
00:18:42She's going to owe me five bucks if I have to freeze to death looking for her.
00:18:47Okay, moment of truth.
00:18:51So, it's going to be like that, huh?
00:18:5350 bucks for a horse-drawn carriage?
00:19:05Mary Jake is no friend of mine.
00:19:09If he's not back in three minutes, I'm going after him.
00:19:10I guess that's the difference between you and me.
00:19:21Did you find her?
00:19:24Where's...
00:19:32Well, princess, looks like you owe me 50 bucks.
00:19:36I don't know what you're talking about.
00:19:38I mean, why are you heading into a blizzard on foot?
00:19:41You must at least have a plan or maybe a ride.
00:19:44I'm fine.
00:19:44Just leave me alone.
00:19:46Mary Jake, give it up.
00:19:48It's freezing.
00:19:49Your pretty little nose will turn black and fall off if you stay out here much longer.
00:19:53So, what's the plan?
00:19:56I thought my ride would be here.
00:19:58I guess they couldn't make it in the snow.
00:20:01I'm sure they tried.
00:20:03Right.
00:20:04I'm sure they did too.
00:20:06Come on.
00:20:19Mary Jake, what were you thinking?
00:20:22Um, I...
00:20:23She was waiting for her ride.
00:20:25But some people just don't know how to drive in the snow, you know?
00:20:28They're probably stuck in a snowbank somewhere,
00:20:30leaving poor Mary Jake to fend for herself in the cold.
00:20:34Some friend, huh?
00:20:36I'm sorry, Mary Jake.
00:20:37But you have to let me know next time before you try to leave.
00:20:39You could have been stuck out there for hours.
00:20:44Okay, everyone, back to the library.
00:20:47I'll meet you there in a minute.
00:20:49Okay.
00:21:20Oh, man, it's four o'clock already.
00:21:22I should be clocking in right now.
00:21:24So much for that paycheck.
00:21:26Where do you work, Brent?
00:21:28Well, after school, I work at Lowe's Foods.
00:21:29And then on the weekends, I work concessions at the ball field during the day,
00:21:32and I bus tables at Vincenzo's at night.
00:21:35Wow.
00:21:35You sure keep busy.
00:21:37What are you saving up for?
00:21:39Uh, nothing, really.
00:21:41I just, you know, I'm trying to figure out what I want to do with my life.
00:21:44So, I'm trying to figure out what I want to do with my life.
00:21:46I'm trying to figure out what I want to do with my life.
00:21:48I just try and work as hard as I can to help my family out.
00:21:51They own a realty business, and with the economy lately,
00:21:53they've been having a little trouble making as much as they used to.
00:21:57Is it just you and your parents?
00:21:59Uh, no.
00:21:59Actually, it's me and my adopted sister, Anna, who's 13.
00:22:03And then we have six foster brothers and sisters.
00:22:05So, it's a pretty full house.
00:22:06If your parents are so poor, then why are they taking care of other people's kids?
00:22:11Wow, Mary Jake, well said.
00:22:14You know what I mean.
00:22:15Yeah, I know.
00:22:15And they do it because they love them as their own.
00:22:17And they're doing their very best to give them a better life than they had at home.
00:22:22Wow, maybe I'll come live with you, too.
00:22:25I saw that car you pulled up in.
00:22:26You don't seem to be too bad off.
00:22:28Yeah.
00:22:29Well, I'd trade that car any day if it meant that my dad would actually act like a human being.
00:22:35Brent, it seems like your family takes care of so many kids because they love being around them.
00:22:40You know, I just wish that my dad was a little more like that.
00:22:44Go, cry a little bit more.
00:22:46You guys are all pathetic.
00:22:50What did you just say?
00:22:51Stop playing dumb, Grayson.
00:22:53Just because none of these people are your friends doesn't mean it's okay to whine about your daddy issues.
00:22:59Mary Jake, stop.
00:23:00What's wrong?
00:23:02What's wrong?
00:23:04You want to know what's wrong?
00:23:05Yeah, please enlighten us.
00:23:08You.
00:23:09What's your name again, new kid?
00:23:11Because I don't think anybody bothered to ask or to care.
00:23:17Grayson, do you care to share?
00:23:22What's your name?
00:23:23I won't say I told you so.
00:23:26It's Anthony.
00:23:28Anthony David Goodwin.
00:23:30And you know what?
00:23:32And this is probably the only time I'm ever going to say this, but she's right.
00:23:36I had hoped people at this school would be concerned with a little more than just themselves.
00:23:42I guess I was wrong.
00:23:44Well, I think you're great, Anthony, and we're all sorry.
00:23:47Careful. Watch out for this one.
00:23:50She'll think you're so great, she'll try to become you.
00:23:53Fifth grade, we were friends somehow.
00:23:56Until suddenly, she's starting to dress like me and wear her hair like me every day.
00:24:02She'll start to freak you out after a little while.
00:24:05Stop pretending you're so perfect, Mary Jake.
00:24:07You're the one that was standing alone in a blizzard.
00:24:10The only reason I was out there is because I'd rather freeze to death than be stuck in here with you.
00:24:15Don't talk to her like that.
00:24:17Oh, give me a break, Grayson.
00:24:19You're the one who completely humiliated Camille in freshman year when you found out she had a crush on you.
00:24:23You made it very clear to the entire school that she wasn't good enough for you.
00:24:26You need to mind your own business.
00:24:28And since when do you think that you have any place here standing up to me?
00:24:32Okay, I might not have as much money as you do or drive some fancy car or live in a huge house,
00:24:37but that doesn't make you any better than me.
00:24:38You don't know the first thing about me, Brant.
00:24:40I know that you hang out with the super cool crowd and you have a different girlfriend every week.
00:24:44Stop.
00:24:45All right.
00:24:46Fine, I'll stop.
00:24:48But tell me one thing you know about me.
00:24:54I'm sorry, okay?
00:24:58I'm sorry.
00:25:03What are we doing here?
00:25:04Well, whether we like it or not, whether we like each other or not, we're stuck here.
00:25:12Anthony's right.
00:25:12This is going to be a long night if we keep this up.
00:25:14It's going to be a long night regardless.
00:25:18I don't know about you guys, but I'm starving.
00:25:21Does this place keep anything in the cafeteria after hours?
00:25:24Yeah, they should have some like chips and stuff.
00:25:28Maybe some mean leftover chili dogs if we're lucky.
00:25:30Oh, gross.
00:25:31Brant, you with me?
00:25:32Absolutely.
00:25:34Lynn, do you want to go?
00:25:37Um, yeah, why not?
00:25:50So, Anthony, you just moved here recently, right?
00:25:52Yeah, sure did.
00:25:54Where from?
00:25:56Oh, you know, all over really.
00:25:58Military, Brant?
00:26:00Yeah, I'm a military veteran.
00:26:02Yeah, actually.
00:26:19I meant what I said.
00:26:21When I said I was sorry, that is.
00:26:24I really am.
00:26:26It's fine.
00:26:27I hardly even remember anymore.
00:26:29Yeah, well, I do.
00:26:32It was first period.
00:26:34Both had coached Lester's economics class together.
00:26:38You wrote a note to Kelly Cothran about hoping that I would take you to the homecoming dance.
00:26:43So Kelly tried to pass me the note.
00:26:47Jackson saw what I said and started causing a scene.
00:26:50And I went along with what he said and told him,
00:26:53yeah, right, in a million years.
00:26:55Even though that was the exact opposite of what I wanted to say.
00:26:58Yeah, I'm sure.
00:26:59I mean it.
00:27:00Jackson and all those guys, they're immature and they're...
00:27:04And yeah, there was a point when I thought I had to be just like them.
00:27:09But I've changed a lot.
00:27:12I'm just sorry that you had to experience the old me like that.
00:27:20Can you forgive me?
00:27:25I think so.
00:27:28And thanks.
00:27:29I know it was a while ago, but it means a lot.
00:27:39Do you think she's just pretending to listen to music and she can actually hear us talking?
00:27:44I used to do that on road trips with my parents,
00:27:46just to see if they would actually say anything about me.
00:27:49That's smooth.
00:27:50Did they?
00:27:51Nah.
00:27:52I guess they were smarter than I thought.
00:28:00Oh.
00:28:23Yeah, remember when I said I wanted a chili dog?
00:28:26Definitely changed my mind.
00:28:29I dare you to eat the whole thing.
00:28:30Lane Barrett's been done.
00:28:32Jackpot!
00:28:36It's no processed meat, but salty and deep fried has to take a close second.
00:28:40Right, you are, Lane.
00:28:40Good work.
00:28:48Oh, thank goodness.
00:28:49I was about to eat Mary Jake's hand.
00:28:54What's so funny?
00:28:56Uh, nothing.
00:29:00What kind of chips do you want?
00:29:01Cheese curls, alright?
00:29:02Sure, whatever.
00:29:07Lynn, this feast was your discovery.
00:29:09Dig in.
00:29:11I'm really not hungry.
00:29:12Big lunch.
00:29:14You didn't eat anything at lunch.
00:29:16I was sitting down the table for me.
00:29:18And you were watching me eat?
00:29:20That's a little creepy, Brant.
00:29:22Well, I mean, I look at you sometimes, yeah,
00:29:24and I just noticed you were picking at your salad.
00:29:26Just an observation.
00:29:27Why do you look at me?
00:29:29Come on, Lynn, it's written all over his face.
00:29:32He looks at you because he likes you.
00:29:34Duh.
00:29:36Yeah, I look at you because I like you and because I think you're really pretty.
00:29:42I'll be pretty when I lose 20 pounds.
00:29:44Lynn, are you crazy?
00:29:4520 pounds?
00:29:47Come on, you look great.
00:29:50Thanks, but you're lying.
00:29:51She's not lying, Lynn.
00:29:53I like you just how you are.
00:29:54Yeah, well, I don't.
00:29:56Skinny doesn't mean pretty.
00:29:57Why do you think like-
00:29:57Just stop, okay?
00:29:59Obviously, none of you know anything and you don't know me,
00:30:02so stop pretending that you do.
00:30:16So I'm getting older.
00:30:21You still haven't shown.
00:30:26I don't want to be stuck here.
00:30:31Hey, Lynn.
00:30:36I'm sorry about what I said before.
00:30:38I guess it's really none of my business.
00:30:42It's okay.
00:30:46I just want you to know that I think you're beautiful inside and out, and I mean it.
00:30:55I just want you to know that you are, too.
00:30:58Thanks, Grant.
00:31:03I'm gonna try.
00:31:04I really am.
00:31:12All right, seems like the generator's kicking on.
00:31:17I want all of you to stay close to each other and no one leaves this room without permission.
00:31:21I'm going down to the home ec room to find some blankets.
00:31:23Storm's getting pretty bad and most of the roads are closed,
00:31:25so looks like we may be spending the night here.
00:31:33Does anybody have any medical concerns I should be aware of?
00:31:35Mrs. Burgess?
00:31:39I'm diabetic.
00:31:40It doesn't really give me any problems, but I should probably get my kit out of my locker.
00:31:44Okay, you can come with me and we'll stop by your locker on the way back.
00:31:46Okay.
00:31:53Can I be the first to say I find that very surprising?
00:32:00I mean, I'm not ashamed to say that Grayson Thompson
00:32:02is one of the most seemingly perfect guys I've ever met.
00:32:05Well, being diabetic doesn't make him flawed.
00:32:09But you're right.
00:32:10I mean, everyone sees Grayson as this, like, model high schooler.
00:32:13So he's big man on campus then?
00:32:15Something like that, I guess.
00:32:17So do you think that if people knew he had diabetes
00:32:19that that would change the way they think of him?
00:32:21Of course it would.
00:32:22They see him as perfect and he's not.
00:32:25Well, who is perfect then, Mary Jake?
00:32:27You?
00:32:28As far as I'm concerned, nobody's perfect
00:32:31and it's foolish for anyone to assume that they are.
00:32:33I sure wish I lived in your perfect little world, Camille.
00:32:36Because the world I live in?
00:32:38That's just how it is.
00:32:40That world is called high school.
00:32:53What?
00:32:56Yeah, well, it's not something I'd go advertising.
00:32:59Do people know?
00:33:02Um, yeah, people know.
00:33:04I mean, my teachers know.
00:33:05Most of my friends.
00:33:07It doesn't make me any different.
00:33:09Wait, so your friends know you have diabetes
00:33:11and it doesn't change anything?
00:33:13No, why would it?
00:33:15How long have you been together?
00:33:16I don't know.
00:33:17I mean, I don't know.
00:33:18I don't know.
00:33:18I don't know.
00:33:19I don't know.
00:33:19I don't know.
00:33:20I don't know.
00:33:20I don't know.
00:33:21I don't know.
00:33:21I don't know.
00:33:22How long have you had it?
00:33:23Since I was born.
00:33:25My parents had me really young when I was born with type 1 diabetes.
00:33:30Do you ever think maybe that's why your dad doesn't want to spend time with you?
00:33:34Mary, Jake!
00:33:35Not that it's any of your business,
00:33:37but why would that have anything to do with anything?
00:33:40Not that it's any of my business?
00:33:42Everybody's been spilling their business all afternoon.
00:33:45I'm just making an observation.
00:33:47He may have odd ways of showing it,
00:33:49but my dad loves me.
00:33:52You know what, Mary, Jake?
00:33:54The way you're acting makes me think that you have some deep, dark secret too.
00:33:58Whatever.
00:33:59Think what you want.
00:34:01Does anyone else think I may be right?
00:34:08You know what my deep, dark secret is?
00:34:14I love chips.
00:34:23Okay, deep, dark secrets around the room.
00:34:25Go.
00:34:29You go, Mr. Mysterious.
00:34:30Okay, um...
00:34:33I used to bite my toenails.
00:34:36Ew, Anthony, that's gross.
00:34:37I know.
00:34:38That's why it's a deep, dark secret.
00:34:39You next.
00:34:41I don't know.
00:34:42Gosh, uh...
00:34:45I used to cook with my Easy-B Govan until I was 15.
00:34:48They still make those?
00:34:49Oh yeah, they do.
00:34:50The food is really good.
00:34:52I used to eat it every day.
00:34:54Maybe that's why.
00:34:59You know what?
00:35:01It doesn't matter.
00:35:02I might just bust out that Easy-B Govan when I get home.
00:35:05If we ever get home.
00:35:08Speaking of home, I built a bat cave in my basement.
00:35:12I was so obsessed with Batman and Robin.
00:35:14I mean, I wore the cape, ears, everything.
00:35:16And when was this?
00:35:17Pretty recently?
00:35:19No, when I was like six.
00:35:21Although last time I checked, it was still standing.
00:35:24We could have a sleepover if you want.
00:35:27Sometimes I let my little sisters put makeup on me
00:35:29because I am just that good of a person.
00:35:31No, that's a sleepover I want to be at.
00:35:33Camila, are you in?
00:35:34Only if I can straighten your hair and maybe some French tips.
00:35:38Easy there, Brent.
00:35:39I think you may have just made two new best friends.
00:35:42With the risk of sounding uncool,
00:35:45I had a pretty mean perm in the fourth grade.
00:35:48We were living in Los Angeles that year
00:35:50and I wanted to look just like Justin Timberlake.
00:35:53It was the thing to do, apparently.
00:35:55Look at you, so hip and ahead of your time.
00:35:57I don't know how Raleigh will ever keep up.
00:36:00It's going to be tough, but let him try.
00:36:07Wait, are the phones mad?
00:36:09Mom, everybody quiet, please.
00:36:14Oh, no.
00:36:16Is he okay?
00:36:20Oh, no.
00:36:22No, no, no, we're fine.
00:36:23Please just stay safe.
00:36:26Yeah, no, there's nothing to worry about.
00:36:30Wait, what did you say?
00:36:33What? Mom?
00:36:36Mom?
00:36:39What did your mom say?
00:36:40Is everything okay?
00:36:42Storm's gotten pretty bad.
00:36:45My uncle was on his way in with his truck
00:36:47and he hit a snowbank or something.
00:36:51He ran off the road.
00:36:52Oh, my gosh, is he going to be all right?
00:36:54Yeah, yeah, he's fine.
00:36:55But the news is advising everyone to stay indoors
00:36:58and off the roads, like Mrs. Burgess said.
00:37:01It just looks like we're going to be stuck here
00:37:02until it calms down.
00:37:04Or starts melting in the morning.
00:37:08What's going on?
00:37:09Towers must be down.
00:37:10Hope you brought a pillow.
00:37:12Very funny.
00:37:15I'm usually not one to worry,
00:37:16but my dad's in Charlotte today
00:37:18and my mom was driving out of town for a house showing.
00:37:20None of us have cell phones,
00:37:21so if anything were to happen, I just...
00:37:24My sister Anna's probably fine with her friend Jesse,
00:37:26but everyone else might be stuck at Daniel's middle school.
00:37:29Should have thought about that earlier.
00:37:31Brian, I'm sure they're fine.
00:37:32I mean, my mom didn't say there had been any emergencies,
00:37:35just that we're advised to stay off the roads.
00:37:37I mean, there's nothing we could have done anyway.
00:37:39We're just as stranded as anyone else.
00:37:41Yeah, but I'm going to go call Daniel's middle just in case.
00:37:45I'll come with you, Brian.
00:37:46I want to try my dad again.
00:37:48Okay.
00:37:59You know, I've gone to this school for almost four years now,
00:38:03but I never really looked at this hallway.
00:38:06Doesn't even feel familiar when it's all empty.
00:38:10It's like I get so caught up in myself, my own life,
00:38:12that sometimes I just don't notice my surroundings.
00:38:15Yeah, I know what you mean.
00:38:16I'm a junior, so I spent roughly 735 days of my life here.
00:38:21It's not so much as the surroundings, more of like the people.
00:38:23I mean, how many conversations have you had with Lynn or Mary Jake?
00:38:27That's a good example.
00:38:29Lynn's great, and she seems pretty real, you know?
00:38:32Mary Jake is...
00:38:34Where do I even begin?
00:38:35And Anthony, I mean, that guy scared me at first,
00:38:37but now I almost want to be his friend.
00:38:39Yeah, me too.
00:38:42Do you remember Camille back in middle school where she wore lots of pink
00:38:44and was basically the president of everything?
00:38:47Yeah, she sure went the other way with that one.
00:38:50Yeah, there's something about her.
00:38:52You know, she seems different than I thought.
00:38:55I don't know, I think I might like to get to know the new Camille.
00:39:04Miss Burgess, it's Grayson and Brent.
00:39:07Come in, boys.
00:39:09Miss Burgess, is everything okay?
00:39:12I'm sorry, I hate for you to see me like this.
00:39:14Um, is everything okay in the library?
00:39:17Yeah, we're fine.
00:39:18We just wanted to see if we can make a few phone calls.
00:39:20I think the cell phone towers are down.
00:39:22Uh, I'm afraid the landlines aren't working either.
00:39:25I've been waiting for over an hour to hear back from my husband.
00:39:28He was on his way home from work last he spoke,
00:39:30and I told him to go so he could concentrate on the roads,
00:39:33but now that the lines are down, I don't know when I'll hear from him.
00:39:37Well, how far from home was he?
00:39:39A few miles.
00:39:40It's a short commute, but I can't help thinking the worst.
00:39:44I'm sure he's fine.
00:39:45Everyone that was caught in the storm is taking the precautions they need to.
00:39:49I know, Brent.
00:39:49You're completely right.
00:39:52It's just hard to stay positive in this situation.
00:39:54I don't know how you kids are doing it.
00:39:57I should be in the library taking care of you students
00:40:00instead of in here worried about myself.
00:40:01We're fine, Miss Burgess, really.
00:40:03Stay by the phone as long as you need to.
00:40:05Is there anything that I can get for you?
00:40:07No, no, I'm fine.
00:40:09Just take care of the others,
00:40:10and I'll let you know as soon as I hear anything.
00:40:14Have you heard anything about the students at Daniels Middle School?
00:40:18Last I heard, we were the only school in the district with students left.
00:40:21We're further out of town, so it's harder for people to get here.
00:40:24Awesome, that's good to hear.
00:40:26Oh, it may be a good idea to start lining the doors in the library to keep the heat in.
00:40:31Unfortunately, I don't know how much longer the generators are going to last.
00:40:34That's a good idea.
00:40:35Okay, I'll see what I can do.
00:40:37Don't worry.
00:40:39Yeah, what he said.
00:40:40And, Miss Burgess, I'm going to pray for your husband.
00:40:44Is that okay?
00:40:46It's perfectly fine, Brent.
00:41:01Just in time.
00:41:02Did you get a hold of anyone?
00:41:03Is everything okay?
00:41:04Well, main phone lines are down to the last one.
00:41:06I'm sure you'll be able to get a hold of him.
00:41:08Well, main phone lines are down too, apparently.
00:41:10But according to Miss Burgess, the rest of the schools are empty.
00:41:12So Brent's brothers and sisters should be safe somewhere.
00:41:15Oh, good.
00:41:16That's so good to hear.
00:41:17But we need to keep in all the heat that we can.
00:41:19So I'm going to line the door with these blankets.
00:41:32Hey, Anthony, give me your jacket.
00:41:34You should be fine in that sweatshirt.
00:41:35No, I'm going to hang on to it.
00:41:36Come on, man.
00:41:37You're making me sweat just looking at you.
00:41:38If you get cold, you can get it back.
00:41:40I said no.
00:41:42Find something else.
00:41:47Okay.
00:41:49Forget I asked.
00:41:57So no word from your dad yet?
00:42:02No, nothing.
00:42:04I left him a few messages, but there's no one else in his office.
00:42:07So he probably doesn't even know it's snowing out.
00:42:10I thought I'd be the first thought on his mind.
00:42:14You know what, Grayson?
00:42:15Before you're so quick to judge your dad for not being the perfect father,
00:42:18why don't you stop for a second and think about all the things that he actually does for you
00:42:22and what you'd do if he wasn't there at all?
00:42:29Doesn't seem so bad now, does it?
00:42:34Yeah.
00:42:41Was that your dad's?
00:42:44Yeah.
00:42:46He's been in Iraq for three years.
00:42:51I'm sorry, man.
00:42:52I didn't know.
00:42:52It's cool.
00:42:53Just remember what you have.
00:42:59How many threes?
00:43:01Go fish.
00:43:03All right, here we go.
00:43:11Here we go.
00:43:13Check this out.
00:43:15Here we go.
00:43:17Yes!
00:43:19That one makes me unstoppable.
00:43:21I know you guys can all agree.
00:43:23You're totally cheating.
00:43:25I saw you step past the line.
00:43:27I'm cheating.
00:43:29Let's go, Lynn.
00:43:31I told you.
00:43:33All right.
00:43:35I nominate you.
00:43:37Oh.
00:43:41Seriously.
00:43:43How old are you guys?
00:43:45Keep it down.
00:43:49What are you listening to?
00:43:53Is that New Kids, Mary J?
00:43:55Are you listening to New Kids?
00:43:57Is that your big secret?
00:43:59Come back.
00:44:09Look what you did.
00:44:11It's ruined.
00:44:13Thanks a lot.
00:44:15Hey, I'm sorry.
00:44:17I didn't mean to.
00:44:19I don't care if you didn't mean to.
00:44:21It's broken, and it's your fault.
00:44:23Chill out, Mary J.
00:44:25Come on.
00:44:27I'm not.
00:44:29One iPod and a new Lexus then, right?
00:44:31Stop, okay? I'm not getting any of those.
00:44:33Did you ask for a new pony this year, Mary J?
00:44:35No!
00:44:37I'm not getting any of those things.
00:44:43My parents are bankrupt.
00:44:51What?
00:44:57Nothing.
00:45:03What happened?
00:45:05I don't know all the details.
00:45:07My parents will hardly tell me anything.
00:45:11I guess my dad made some big investment that went bad,
00:45:13and now everything is a mess.
00:45:17My uncle's paying our mortgage so we don't lose our house.
00:45:21My college fund is gone.
00:45:23Everything.
00:45:31So what are you going to do about it?
00:45:33Excuse me?
00:45:35I can't do anything about it.
00:45:37Well, you can't change the fact that your family is going through a rough time,
00:45:39but you can do everything you can to try and help them through it.
00:45:43What are you talking about? What can I possibly do?
00:45:45You could get a job.
00:45:47That way you could pay for your own things,
00:45:49like your clothes and your makeup,
00:45:51and your parents can focus on getting back on their feet.
00:45:53There's no way I'm getting a job.
00:45:55Then you know what, Mary J?
00:45:57I don't want to hear you crying about how pathetic your life is
00:45:59if you're not going to do a single thing to make it better.
00:46:01It's not like that, okay?
00:46:05I just can't.
00:46:07I cannot get a job.
00:46:11If my friends saw me waiting tables somewhere,
00:46:13they'd tie.
00:46:17I do not want them to know.
00:46:21If they're your friends, then they shouldn't care.
00:46:25You know what?
00:46:27I have an idea.
00:46:29Let's go, everyone.
00:46:31Hey, Mary J? That means you too.
00:46:33Chop, chop, people. Let's go.
00:46:47All right, people. Here we go.
00:46:49You may not know my way around the school so well yet,
00:46:51but I think I remember how to get to this place.
00:46:53Yeah. Come on.
00:47:05All right.
00:47:11All right.
00:47:13Check it out.
00:47:15Impromptu talent show, anyone?
00:47:17Oh, man. What sort of talents are you hiding, huh?
00:47:19The best kind.
00:47:29Thanks.
00:47:31You're welcome.
00:47:41Nice flowers, man.
00:47:43So what's your talent?
00:47:47Ah.
00:47:49Well, that works a lot better in the summertime.
00:47:51All right.
00:48:03My sister's told me that, I swear.
00:48:05All right. Who's next?
00:48:11Where's he going with my glasses?
00:48:13Where's he go?
00:48:15Oh, no.
00:48:17Romeo, Romeo, wherefore art thou Romeo?
00:48:19Oh.
00:48:21That's weird.
00:48:23Totally kidding, guys.
00:48:25Kidding. What you got?
00:48:27All right. Here's where it's at.
00:48:33You call that dancing?
00:48:35I'll show you dancing.
00:48:37Yeah.
00:48:39Oh, yeah.
00:48:41Yeah.
00:48:43All right, Lynn.
00:48:49One more.
00:48:51Now that's talent.
00:48:53Forget high school.
00:48:55Let's start a talent trip and travel the world.
00:48:57Totally.
00:48:59Where should we go first?
00:49:01Let's go to Moscow.
00:49:03Moscow, yeah.
00:49:05No, we've got to go to Europe, man.
00:49:07We've got to bring those flowers, too.
00:49:09Yeah, definitely.
00:49:35All right, Camille.
00:49:37Yes, you were.
00:49:39I didn't know you could sing.
00:49:41I'm not upset.
00:49:43I am not.
00:49:45I am not upset.
00:49:47But please, you have to let me know next time
00:49:49before you decide to disappear.
00:49:51If it weren't for the sound of Christmas carols
00:49:53coming from this room,
00:49:55I might have been outside in that storm
00:49:57looking for all of you.
00:49:59Mrs. Burgess, I'm sorry.
00:50:01It was my fault.
00:50:03Mrs. Burgess, I'm sorry.
00:50:05It was my fault. I wasn't thinking.
00:50:07We're all here. Don't worry.
00:50:09Okay. Okay.
00:50:11Everything's just fine.
00:50:13We're all just fine.
00:50:15What was I coming here to tell you?
00:50:17Right.
00:50:19The storm. It's getting worse.
00:50:21The temperatures are dropping
00:50:23and the wind speeds are at record highs.
00:50:25Please don't worry.
00:50:27If we stay inside, everybody's safe.
00:50:29But our biggest challenge
00:50:31is going to be keeping warm.
00:50:33I'm pretty sure that generator isn't going to last all night.
00:50:35But I have lanterns
00:50:37and flashlights in the library
00:50:39for us to use.
00:50:41Mrs. Burgess, have you heard from your husband yet?
00:50:43Not yet, Grant. Thank you for asking.
00:50:45And thanks for the prayers.
00:50:47I have a feeling that he's safe.
00:50:49Grayson?
00:50:51Grayson?
00:50:53Are you all right?
00:50:55Uh...
00:50:57I feel weak all of a sudden.
00:50:59I think my blood sugar level must have dropped.
00:51:01I'm fine. I'm fine.
00:51:03Okay, Grayson. Let's get you back to the library.
00:51:05Um, boys, will you please help him?
00:51:07Lynn, can you grab the door?
00:51:13Okay, careful. Careful.
00:51:15Okay.
00:51:27Shouldn't lay down.
00:51:29Just sit me over there.
00:51:31You need something to get your blood sugar up.
00:51:33Does anybody have any candy?
00:51:35I've got a soda in my backpack, I think.
00:51:37That'll work.
00:51:39Here. Drink up, dude.
00:51:43It's cold for you.
00:51:45I guess Mr. Perfect is pretty normal after all.
00:51:49You know what?
00:51:51I actually prefer him that way.
00:51:53Normal, that is.
00:52:13Why the long faces?
00:52:15I'm fine.
00:52:19And...
00:52:21I'm starving.
00:52:23Is anyone else hungry?
00:52:25Yeah.
00:52:27Grab the flashlights, just in case.
00:52:43Okay.
00:52:51Well, how many main dishes can you make with coleslaw?
00:52:53It depends.
00:52:55On what?
00:52:57Whether you want them to be edible or not.
00:52:59Coleslaw on a chili dog? Anybody.
00:53:01Ah!
00:53:03Here we go.
00:53:05Spaghetti noodles.
00:53:07Enough to feed the entire senior class.
00:53:09Hey, Camille, can you come over here
00:53:11for a second?
00:53:15Okay.
00:53:17Pasta, sauce...
00:53:19Lynn, have you seen any bread, butter, garlic,
00:53:21anything like that?
00:53:23Let me see what I can find.
00:53:25These fit for a king.
00:53:27Excellent idea, Grayson.
00:53:29I'll get the oven going.
00:53:31What can I do to help?
00:53:33I have just the job for you.
00:53:35Wait here.
00:53:41All righty.
00:53:43I assume you see what I'm getting at here.
00:53:45I don't know.
00:53:47I haven't spent much time in the kitchen.
00:53:49Well, if we're making a feast,
00:53:51we have to have dessert.
00:53:53Um, I've never made these before.
00:53:55Or is it hard?
00:53:57It's easy as one, two, three.
00:53:59Add ingredients, stir, pour in a pan.
00:54:01Although I didn't see any measuring cups,
00:54:03so you have to eyeball the amount.
00:54:05But it's pretty straightforward.
00:54:07I'm sure you can handle it.
00:54:09Um, what if I just set the table or something?
00:54:11I don't want to mess this up.
00:54:13I have faith in you, Mary Jake,
00:54:15and I think you'll be surprised
00:54:17what you can accomplish when you try.
00:54:21Hey, Lynn.
00:54:23Noted on dish duty.
00:54:25I second that.
00:54:27Don't forget the most important part
00:54:29of any table setting.
00:54:31Is there anything I can do to help?
00:54:33I think we're all set.
00:54:35It's almost ready.
00:54:37Can you find some potholders?
00:54:39I think the garlic bread should be about done.
00:54:41Absolutely. I think I saw some over near the utensils.
00:54:43Oh, I didn't realize how hungry I was.
00:54:45It smells amazing.
00:54:47I think this is going to be a really good meal.
00:54:49Just what we need to warm our bodies and our spirits.
00:54:51Thanks for coming up with the idea, Grayson.
00:54:53Yeah, well, if there's anything, I know it's food.
00:54:55I keep me and my dad pretty well fed.
00:54:57That's a very admirable trait.
00:54:59Makes me happy to see today's youth
00:55:01helping out around the house.
00:55:03My dad works hard, so I try to take any chance I can
00:55:05I'm sure he appreciates everything that you do.
00:55:07Yeah, thanks.
00:55:11Here you go.
00:55:13Perfect, thank you.
00:55:21Shall we say grace?
00:55:23Sure.
00:55:29Dear Lord, we thank you for this meal we're about to receive.
00:55:31Please keep our friends and family safe during the storm
00:55:33and watch over us throughout the night.
00:55:35We thank you for your endearing love
00:55:37and know that you'll keep us from harm.
00:55:39Amen.
00:55:41Thanks, Brent.
00:55:43Shall we?
00:56:03This is amazing.
00:56:05We're gonna put the cafeteria lady out of a job.
00:56:07It's incredible.
00:56:09Maybe it's because I'm starving, but this might be the best dinner I've ever eaten.
00:56:13It's perfect.
00:56:15Despite the circumstances,
00:56:17this isn't such a terrible night.
00:56:21You gonna finish that?
00:56:33Okay.
00:56:45I did my best to contribute.
00:57:03Mmm, Mary Jake, this is amazing.
00:57:05Hands down, best brownie ever to be made from a box.
00:57:07No, he wasn't kidding.
00:57:09Wow.
00:57:11Mmm.
00:57:13It's better than grandma's.
00:57:15Thanks, guys.
00:57:23You know what, Mary Jake?
00:57:25I think we can all agree that those brownies were amazing.
00:57:27Better than I ever imagined.
00:57:29Oh, man, that spaghetti was awesome, too.
00:57:31I'd say it was almost better than my mom's,
00:57:33but I think I might get in trouble for saying that.
00:57:35It was better than my grandma's.
00:57:37It was so good.
00:57:39I won't need to eat for a week.
00:57:41I'm not one to say, I told you so,
00:57:43but I did tell you so.
00:57:45Okay.
00:57:47Oh, no.
00:57:49Everything's all right.
00:57:51Nobody panic.
00:57:53There are plenty of lanterns and flashlights in the library,
00:57:55so let's keep moving in that direction.
00:57:57I'm going to grab my things from the office,
00:57:59and I'll be right there.
00:58:11Here you go, guys.
00:58:13All right, everyone, let's move to the back of the room
00:58:15to conserve some heat.
00:58:17Here, grab all your stuff.
00:58:19All right, I can take this one.
00:58:21I'll take this one.
00:58:23Here you go.
00:58:25Come on, Mary Jake.
00:58:27Just set everything down,
00:58:29and we'll put all the blankets up.
00:58:31I think we're all going to be okay.
00:58:33It's warmer back here.
00:58:35Oh, man.
00:58:39You know,
00:58:41it does make me feel a little better,
00:58:43knowing there's a pretty good chance
00:58:45that my dad just lost his H.D. football,
00:58:47and his heated recliner's probably getting a little cold.
00:58:49Are you kidding me?
00:58:51What?
00:58:53Give me a break.
00:58:55I mean, I've heard what you have to say,
00:58:57but you don't know what it's like.
00:58:59I just think it's a little unfair that I'm stuck here at school,
00:59:01and he's probably off watching a DVR.
00:59:03Don't talk to me about unfair.
00:59:05I get it, Anthony. Okay, I get it.
00:59:07Your dad's off in Iraq, and that's rough.
00:59:09But my dad might as well be there, too,
00:59:11because that's exactly what it feels like.
00:59:13Well, at least your dad's alive.
00:59:19What?
00:59:21You heard me.
00:59:31But you said...
00:59:33You know what I said.
00:59:35It's just easier that way.
00:59:41He died two months ago.
00:59:43I don't like to admit it.
00:59:45I mean, he'd been gone so long before it happened
00:59:47that if I don't talk about it,
00:59:49it seems like he's just still away.
00:59:53I was hoping that staying here today with you guys
00:59:55would help me take my mind off things.
01:00:03Anthony, I'm really sorry.
01:00:05And I know it's hard to accept
01:00:07in a situation like that,
01:00:09but you have to remember
01:00:11that everything happens for a reason.
01:00:13I don't see any reason why my dad
01:00:15had to be the one to die.
01:00:17You never know,
01:00:19but there is a reason.
01:00:21His death served a much higher purpose.
01:00:23It doesn't make it any easier.
01:00:27I know.
01:00:29Maybe one day it will.
01:00:33Sorry that took so long.
01:00:37Is everything all right in here?
01:00:39We're fine, Mrs. Burgess.
01:00:43Bathroom break?
01:00:45All right.
01:01:05You okay, Grayson?
01:01:11Yeah.
01:01:13I was just doing some thinking.
01:01:17I feel like a total jerk.
01:01:19You know.
01:01:21But that's not the point.
01:01:23I know.
01:01:25My dad makes me so...
01:01:27so angry.
01:01:31But I can't imagine what I'd do if he was gone.
01:01:35Just enjoy all the time you do have with him.
01:01:37Even if it seems like nothing at all.
01:01:43Well, I guess it's easier said than done.
01:01:47I feel like I should go apologize to Anthony.
01:01:51I think he knows you're sorry.
01:02:07Thank you all for your help
01:02:09and for staying in good spirits.
01:02:11None of us anticipated this when we started our day.
01:02:13You've all done really well to make the most of the situation.
01:02:19So.
01:02:21What does everybody want for Christmas?
01:02:23Grayson?
01:02:27Um.
01:02:29I don't know.
01:02:31I don't need much.
01:02:33My dad usually gives me gift cards.
01:02:35My mom sends me clothes.
01:02:37I'll probably get some new music
01:02:39I want a guitar
01:02:41so I can play and sing.
01:02:43Maybe I'll start a band.
01:02:45I don't know.
01:02:47Oh, and socks.
01:02:49You can never have too many socks.
01:02:53I think I'm gonna ask for some clothes.
01:02:55Some clothes I actually like.
01:02:59Well, my family's been saving up for a while to get us a Wii.
01:03:01A Wii and ten remotes.
01:03:03Big family.
01:03:09I...
01:03:11Um.
01:03:15I have everything I need.
01:03:17I'm just looking forward to spending some time with my family.
01:03:21My mom and I are taking a cruise
01:03:23and not taking any of this snow with us.
01:03:27So, Mrs. Burgess, what do you want for Christmas?
01:03:33My husband and I have been trying to have a baby.
01:03:35That would be the greatest gift we could get.
01:03:41So if everything happens for a reason,
01:03:43what's the reason that we're all stuck here?
01:03:49Well, we can't be sure,
01:03:51but I can think of a few.
01:04:05Wait, what's that sound?
01:04:07Does anyone else think that sounded like someone knocking?
01:04:11There's someone out there.
01:04:13Grayson, wait.
01:04:15I don't think anyone should go out there.
01:04:17We have no idea who that could be.
01:04:19I know, Miss Burgess,
01:04:21but whoever it is is caught out there in that storm.
01:04:23They could die if we don't help them.
01:04:25Look, you stay here with everyone else.
01:04:27I'll go.
01:04:29I'm coming with you.
01:04:31Brant, stay here and keep an eye on the ladies.
01:04:33Wait.
01:04:37Please be careful.
01:04:39We'll be back.
01:04:45I'm a little freaked out.
01:04:47I mean, who could possibly be out in that storm?
01:04:49I don't know what to expect.
01:04:51Wait, we're coming!
01:04:57Okay, I got him, I got him.
01:04:59Okay, I got him, I got him.
01:05:05Dad?
01:05:07Grayson!
01:05:09Dad, you're freezing.
01:05:11Anthony, give me a hand.
01:05:13We gotta get him warmed up.
01:05:15Help!
01:05:17We need help!
01:05:19That's Grayson.
01:05:21He needs help.
01:05:25Camille, come with me. Hurry.
01:05:29Come on.
01:05:37Grayson!
01:05:39Down here!
01:05:47Brant, is he okay?
01:05:49It's my dad. He's freezing.
01:05:51I'm fine. I just need to lie down.
01:05:53I know, Dad. We'll get you there.
01:05:55Brant, give us a hand and help us get him to the library.
01:05:57We've got bottles to fill, okay?
01:05:59Everything's gonna be okay. We'll meet you there.
01:06:15Come on!
01:06:17Come on!
01:06:23Gas stove.
01:06:25This has to work.
01:06:29Uh, perfect.
01:06:43Oh, my goodness. Girls, grab some blankets
01:06:45and make a place to lay him down.
01:06:47It's my dad, Miss Burgess. Hurry!
01:06:49I sent Camille to get some hot water, but we gotta get him warmed up.
01:06:51Okay, put some blankets on him.
01:06:53Quick, grab another blanket.
01:07:05Camille!
01:07:07I'm coming, I'm coming!
01:07:09Quick, put him in the blankets all around him.
01:07:11These'll work great.
01:07:13Good job, Camille. Yeah, these'll work great.
01:07:15Like this? Good job, girls.
01:07:19Thank you, thank you.
01:07:21It's gonna be okay.
01:07:23It's gonna be all right, Dad.
01:07:25It's gonna be okay.
01:07:31It's going to make a huge difference, Camille. He's going to be fine.
01:07:33Good. I was really scared.
01:07:35Me, too.
01:07:45Dad? Dad?
01:07:47You okay?
01:07:49I'm fine.
01:07:51I think you got to me just in time.
01:07:55I can't believe you could hear me over that storm.
01:07:57I've never seen anything like it.
01:08:01And you, what's your name?
01:08:03Anthony Goodwin, sir.
01:08:05Good to meet you, Anthony.
01:08:07Thanks for coming with Grayson to get me.
01:08:09It's nice to meet you as well. Grayson talks about you a lot.
01:08:11Good things, I hope.
01:08:15Only the best, sir.
01:08:19This is Brent and Mary Jake.
01:08:21That's Lynn.
01:08:23And, of course, this is Camille.
01:08:27Mr. Thompson, I'm Cynthia Burgess.
01:08:29Is there anything we can get you?
01:08:31Nice to meet you.
01:08:33And call me Chad.
01:08:35I'm fine. I just need to thaw out.
01:08:37Of course.
01:08:39Let us know if there's anything you need.
01:08:43So...
01:08:45What are you doing here, Dad?
01:08:47Why did you go out in that storm?
01:08:49Well, Grayson, I got your message,
01:08:51but it was hours after you called.
01:08:55And I guess I got caught up in a meeting
01:08:57and I didn't recognize the magnitude of the storm.
01:09:01But I felt terrible not being there for you,
01:09:03so I guess I thought I could get to you
01:09:05before it got too bad.
01:09:07How long did it take you to get out of here?
01:09:13I was on the road for about an hour.
01:09:15Trying to cut through the snow,
01:09:17but eventually the car got stuck in a snowbank.
01:09:21I was only about a half mile from the school at that point,
01:09:23so I tried to walk the rest of the way.
01:09:27Not really sure how long I was out there.
01:09:29Dad, come on.
01:09:31I mean, think of what could have happened to you.
01:09:35Did you not hear the weather alert
01:09:37for no one to leave their homes?
01:09:39I know. I didn't care.
01:09:41I just...
01:09:43I didn't want you to think
01:09:45that I didn't try to get to you.
01:09:47I mean, and with your car acting up in the cold...
01:09:49Actually,
01:09:51my car's fine.
01:09:53I just said it this morning
01:09:55because I wanted to spend a few minutes with you.
01:09:57I don't know why I did it.
01:10:01Grayson,
01:10:03I'm sorry.
01:10:05No, really, it's fine.
01:10:07I mean, you worked so hard to provide for me,
01:10:09and I shouldn't be ungrateful.
01:10:13Yeah, I work hard,
01:10:15but sometimes I just get caught up in it.
01:10:21I just don't want you to ever think
01:10:23you come second to my work.
01:10:25You don't come second to anything.
01:10:29And I'm sorry if I ever made you feel that way.
01:10:31I know.
01:10:35Thanks for understanding.
01:10:39I love you, Grayson.
01:10:43I love you, too, Dad.
01:10:53Anthony,
01:10:55thanks for what you did.
01:10:57I did it for a reason.
01:11:13So, what about you, Camille?
01:11:15What about me?
01:11:17Well, you know, I feel like we've all
01:11:19talked a lot about ourselves,
01:11:21but we haven't heard much from you.
01:11:23What's your story?
01:11:25What's my story?
01:11:27Geez, I don't even know where to start.
01:11:31My story, uh...
01:11:37I don't know.
01:11:39My story, uh...
01:11:43I have a pretty normal life.
01:11:49My family is well off.
01:11:51My parents love each other.
01:11:55I'm doing well in school.
01:12:01Sometimes something just...
01:12:03something just...
01:12:07doesn't seem right.
01:12:09What do you mean?
01:12:15It's hard to explain.
01:12:21I guess that sometimes I just...
01:12:29I just don't feel happy.
01:12:33I get this feeling like something is...
01:12:37wrong or, um...
01:12:39missing.
01:12:45Wow, I've never told anyone that before.
01:12:51What do you think it is?
01:12:55I don't know. It's...
01:12:59Not like I'm depressed or anything.
01:13:01It's...
01:13:05I guess I'm just trying to figure everything out.
01:13:11I know what you mean.
01:13:21What are you guys doing for Christmas?
01:13:25I don't know. Probably just spending time with my family.
01:13:27Same here. Why?
01:13:29We're doing a Christmas Eve service at our church.
01:13:31You guys should come and bring your families.
01:13:33Anthony, you can bring your mom.
01:13:35Thanks, Brent.
01:13:37Hey, um...
01:13:39What time?
01:13:417.30.
01:13:43And I can give you directions.
01:13:45Thanks.
01:13:59Not quite how you plan to spend your day, huh?
01:14:03Not to mention your night.
01:14:05Not even close.
01:14:09And I think after everything,
01:14:11this day turned out a lot better
01:14:13than I'd been planning.
01:14:15I agree.
01:14:19Can I ask you something?
01:14:21I don't know.
01:14:23What is it?
01:14:25Can I ask you something?
01:14:27Um...
01:14:29A serious question.
01:14:31Yeah, of course.
01:14:33You pray a lot,
01:14:35and you're a really good guy.
01:14:39That wasn't really a question.
01:14:41I know.
01:14:43I know. Just wait.
01:14:45You and your whole family,
01:14:47it seems like everything you do is so...
01:14:49good.
01:14:51And you love God.
01:14:53And...
01:14:55I guess what I want to know is...
01:14:59How can you trust so much
01:15:01in God
01:15:03when He lets your family struggle the way they do?
01:15:09Well...
01:15:13God gives us everything that we need.
01:15:17You know, we don't need a mansion
01:15:19or fancy cars to be happy.
01:15:23And sometimes...
01:15:25I think God takes things away,
01:15:27and we need to be reminded
01:15:29of what we actually have.
01:15:35Good night, Mary Jane.
01:15:37Good night, Brent.
01:15:53...
01:15:55...
01:15:57...
01:15:59...
01:16:01...
01:16:03...
01:16:05...
01:16:07...
01:16:09...
01:16:11...
01:16:13...
01:16:15...
01:16:17...
01:16:19...
01:16:21...
01:16:23...
01:16:25...
01:16:27...
01:16:29...
01:16:31...
01:16:33...
01:16:35...
01:16:37...
01:16:39...
01:16:41...
01:16:43...
01:16:45...
01:16:47...
01:16:49Beautiful.
01:16:50Ah!
01:16:51Wait!
01:16:52Wait!
01:16:53Hey, wait!
01:16:54Watch!
01:16:55Here we go!
01:16:56No, no, no, no!
01:16:57Ah!
01:16:58Ha, ha, ha!
01:16:59Thanks!
01:17:00I needed a shower.
01:17:01How about another one?
01:17:02No, no, no!
01:17:03Oh, God!
01:17:04Oh!
01:17:05Oh!
01:17:06Oh!
01:17:07Oh!
01:17:08Oh!

01:17:13Oh!
01:17:14Oh!
01:17:15Oh!
01:17:16Oh!
01:17:17Oh!
01:17:19Yeah?
01:17:20Do you have plans this weekend?
01:17:22I know you probably do.
01:17:25Well, you know, I had a few things in mind.
01:17:27Um...
01:17:28Sunbathing,
01:17:29pool party to go to,
01:17:30but I think the weather
01:17:32might have ruined those plans.
01:17:34Oh!
01:17:36What were you thinking?
01:17:39I don't know, I though it would be fun
01:17:41to, like, hang out and catch up
01:17:43a little bit.
01:17:44It's been a really long time.
01:17:46Don't you have plans with Sidney or April?
01:17:51Nothing I wouldn't miss.
01:17:54I'd really like it if we could just spend some time together.
01:17:58That sounds great.
01:18:01Oh my God.

01:19:38So look at all those kids up there.
01:19:39Aren't they cute?
01:19:40They're so cute.
01:19:41Are these from Vineyard?
01:19:42Yeah, totally.
01:19:43That's awesome.
01:19:44You like the church?
01:19:45I love it.
01:19:46It's huge.
01:19:47Yeah, we had a bunch of people come out and decorate it.
01:19:48Oh, look, there she is.
01:19:49Mary Jake, over here.
01:19:51Ok.
