[Somber piano music]

[soft crashing of waves]

00:00:31.612 --> 00:00:34.020
It’s been three days.

00:00:36.373 --> 00:00:39.865
he hasn’t come home for dinner

00:00:41.165 --> 00:00:43.382
his boots are empty

00:00:43.877 --> 00:00:46.185
his reading chair too

00:00:48.241 --> 00:00:50.015
mom is upset

00:00:50.015 --> 00:00:52.570
I have to go find him.

00:00:57.560 --> 00:01:00.678
he could be out skiing, like he always is

00:01:05.681 --> 00:01:08.534
maybe he’s out hunting

00:01:15.728 --> 00:01:18.000
or cutting firewood

00:01:21.166 --> 00:01:23.946
or, working under the car

00:01:29.729 --> 00:01:33.257
he could have gotten lost underground

00:01:39.300 --> 00:01:42.065
or gotten abducted by aliens

00:01:48.170 --> 00:01:51.677
maybe… he isn’t coming home

00:01:56.147 --> 00:01:57.631
[knocking on door]

00:01:59.154 --> 00:02:00.541
[door opens]

00:02:08.020 --> 00:02:15.990
Ma’am... we went to open the lighthouse,
eleven miles off Sheboygan

00:02:15.990 --> 00:02:17.821
The door was broken down

00:02:20.186 --> 00:02:21.666
He left this.

00:02:22.979 --> 00:02:28.621
We searched, but… his plane and his body
were not recovered.

00:02:28.621 --> 00:02:30.544
I’m sorry.

00:02:49.972 --> 00:02:52.689
[Crashing waves and somber piano music play]

00:02:52.689 --> 00:02:57.120
I was headed back to Alpena, the champ started
to pitch up uncontrollably

00:02:57.120 --> 00:03:02.500
The nose was pointed straight up, I kicked
the rudder over, trying to save the plane

00:03:02.500 --> 00:03:04.489
by doing a hammerhead.

00:03:04.489 --> 00:03:05.579
It was no use.

00:03:05.579 --> 00:03:08.799
The elevator control linkages must have snapped.

00:03:08.799 --> 00:03:12.840
The plane hit the lake and went underwater
within a minute, but I managed to shimmy my

00:03:12.840 --> 00:03:14.180
way out of the cockpit.

00:03:14.180 --> 00:03:19.260
I had seen the lighthouse from the sky, and
I swam to it and broke inside.

00:03:19.260 --> 00:03:23.130
I was freezing, and I used reserve blankets
to warm up.

00:03:23.130 --> 00:03:27.576
I tried to use the transmitter but 
the batteries were old.

00:03:29.025 --> 00:03:32.450
I used the main light to flash 
signals but no one came.

00:03:32.450 --> 00:03:38.581
It’s been two days; I have no choice but
to find a way home

00:03:39.943 --> 00:03:43.240
From the chart, I will have 
eleven miles to travel.

00:03:50.079 --> 00:03:54.330
There is enough furniture to build a small
raft, however, the waves are rough this time

00:03:54.330 --> 00:03:56.989
of year and it may not last long.

00:03:56.989 --> 00:03:59.631
If the raft fails, I’ll swim.

00:04:01.810 --> 00:04:04.250
Please forgive me for making a 
mess of the building.

00:04:04.250 --> 00:04:07.688
Amelia, Grace, I love you both.

00:04:07.688 --> 00:04:10.309
I’ll see you soon.
