"Stormfront Confessions"

**Javi:** Hey, uh... about what I said earlier, I didn't mean any of that.

**Faith:** It's fine.

**Javi:** If there's anything I can say or do to make it better...

**Faith:** Give me your PAR data. That's a start.

[Javi goes back to the truck with Scott in it and gets the data.]

**Scott:** What are you doing?

**Javi:** I'm giving this to her. What does it look like?

[Javi goes back over to Faith and hands her the data.]

**Javi:** I needed money to start StormPAR. That's why I went into business with Riggs. I want to help people, too, Faith. I really do. I said what I said 'cause I... I carry that guilt with me, too. Every single day of my life, so... I'm sorry.

**Faith:** Javi, why don't you stay and help us? That way, we could finally solve this together.

**Javi:** [chuckles softly] You know, there was a time when I'd do anything for you, Faith.

**Scott:** Javi. [taps door] Let's roll. We got a storm developing up near Enid. Team's waiting.

**Javi:** I got to get back to work. The more data I get, the better for business.

**Faith:** [sighs] Sorry I stole your car.

**Javi:** It's all right. Look... Be careful out there.

**Tyler:** Wow, these scans are impressive.

**Faith:** I mean, it's a complete map of the chaos. Tyler, our moisture numbers are off. Currently, the polymer is only absorbing the existing raindrops, not the moisture from the humidity. I mean, we need it to precipitate out more.

**Tyler:** So we need to make it rain.

**Cathy:** They were cloud seeding in Lawton a few years ago for the farmers.

**Faith:** Yeah. Yeah, silver iodide. We could shoot rockets of that.

**Tyler:** So, the silver iodide converts the moisture into rain, and then the sodium polyacrylate, we need a lot of it... would pull the water from the storm, increasing the cold pool. No faster way to choke a tornado.

**Tyler:** Hey, Lily. Yeah, I couldn't get Boone. No, we're gonna need you guys for something. No, no, no. We'll come to you. All right.

**Cathy:** Is this it? Or you gonna come back before you go home?

**Faith:** You know I will. Love you.

**Cathy:** Love you.

**Tyler:** This is for you. [Hands her one of his shirts] You have any idea what you're getting yourself into?

**Faith:** I'm beginning to.

**Cathy:** Huh. Thanks.

**Tyler:** Okay.

[Smiled and realized that Faith is just like her mother.]

**Tyler:** Thank you.

**Lily:** Oh, Lord. You finally made it.

**Tyler:** Ben, you stuck around. Turns out, there's more to this story than I thought. We got a new ending for you.

**Dexter:** Look who it is. City girl.

**Lily:** What's up, Faith? Finally decided to ditch all those squares, huh? [chuckles] Right on. Mm-hmm. Yep. Y'all missed a big one. Look.

**Faith:** Oh, wow.

**Lily:** See?

**Faith:** Hey, can you, um... Can you rig that drone to collect data?

**Lily:** I can do that.

**Dexter:** Yeah, she can do that.

**Tyler:** Easy. Easy. Hey, buddy. I'm sorry. How do I make it up to you?

**Boone:** Man, you abandoned me. I don't know nothing about no makeup.

**Tyler:** How about we launch some new rockets?

["Already Had It" by Tucker Wetmore playing]

**Boone:** You said rockets?

**Dani:** Hey. Y'all ready? We need a 40-foot trailer that's light enough for a pickup but heavy enough to anchor barrels in 100-mile-an-hour winds.

**Sales guy:** Why the hell would you want that?

**Dani:** Why the hell do we want that?

[Turn to look at Faith and Tyler.]

**Faith:** Well, 'cause when we drive into a tornado, we want whatever's on the trailer to get sucked into it, but not us.

**Sales guy:** You're gonna want aluminum.

**Tyler:** Okay. Dexter, talk to me. What's going on?

**Dexter:** Testing the Goldilocks principle of a tornado by modifying the variables, hopefully disrupting the process.

**Boone:** Mm-hmm. Okay. Dani, what does that mean?

**Dani:** Taming the storm.

**Tyler:** Right. T, tell us what's going on.

**Tyler:** All right, we're gonna shoot the clouds with rockets of silver iodide.

**Boone:** Yeah, makes 'em rain, right?

**Tyler:** Yep. Rain is what we need in the updraft. And then we're gonna take the sodium polyacrylate and we're gonna deliver it in the vortex... Don't touch that.

**Ben:** Increasing the cold pool.

**Ben:** And that does what to the tornado?

**Tyler:** Cuts the fuel, Ben.

**Boone:** Lily. Oh, look at Cairo looking all cute and whatnot. Hey, buddy.

[Camera beeps, clicks]

**Tyler:** She is your story, Ben.

**Ben:** [chuckles, sighs]

Tyler: Get me a copy of that.
