Firestarter 2: Rekindled Page #5

anything about this. You've gotta...

Shh.

Come on.

- What the hell is this?

- I told you she'd come.

- Shut up.

- She knows.

They're like me.

- Don't shoot me.

- Nobody's gonna shoot anybody.

We're just gonna go out

the way we came.

I wasn't asking you.

I'm telling you - don't shoot me.

In fact,

why don't you shoot yourself?

In the foot.

- Vincent!

- Very cool.

(piercing screams)

Frankly, I don't see what the big deal is.

I'm disappointed. I'd even say I feel...

cheated.

- What about you?

- Definitely cheated.

All right.

Let's see what you've got.

My feet! My feet are on fire!

My feet are... my feet are on...

(piercing screams)

Get down. Get on your knees.

Stay.

You look just like I thought you would.

Can you stand?

(man) Vincent! Come on out!

We don't want to kill you.

Mr Rainbird wants you alive.

But make no mistake.

You're not leaving this facility.

OK, OK. OK, here's what we do.

Vincent, put the gun away.

What?

You don't need it.

Vincent!

All right.

Now lie out on the ground.

No.

- No?

- No.

But you can run, if you like.

Charlie.

Is that inside you all the time?

I'm sorry you had to see that.

Is that you too?

No.

That's not me.

What are you?

Charlie.

- You know what I can do.

- You know what I can do?

- I don't wanna hurt you.

- I don't wanna hurt you.

I mean it.

What are you?

- Don't make me do this.

- Charlie...

Charlie, stop it! Stop it!

What'd you do?

- Let go.

- More.

- Let go.

- More.

Let go! Let go. Stop it.

- More.

- Stop it.

- Stop, stop.

- And more!

Stop it!

Oh... don't!

Don't... shoot him.

Please.

Charlie for the boy. That's the deal.

- All right.

- Tell him to let her go.

Cody.

Now, you lower your gun.

No, I don't think so.

I think we'll stay just like this

until Charlie gets outta here.

All right, Mr Sforza. It's your show.

Get outta here, Charlie.

Go.

Go, Charlie.

He has no idea how interesting

his life is about to become.

John's still alive.

- I know.

- You have to go back.

No, no.

- Why's John still alive?

- I don't know.

I promised Daddy I wouldn't, OK?

I broke a promise for nothing.

No... honey, wait. No, I had to!

I had to. Sometimes you have to

break promises. It's OK.

- No, it's not OK. Do something.

- Let's think.

What do we do when we're in trouble?

We... we... we run.

We disappear. That's the only way

we've ever stayed safe.

- You're lying.

- No.

Mommy, Daddy lied. John lied.

And now you're lying.

- No, no, no.

- Everybody's lying to me.

We don't have to be like that.

We never, ever have to be like that. Ever.

- (whispers) What are we gonna do?

- I don't know.

I don't know.

There isn't a cure.

You know what you have to do, right?

You have to go back.

- (man) Miss...

- (child) You have to go back.

- (man) Miss...

- (child) You have to go back.

Miss!

You can't sleep here.

I'm just waiting for my bus.

Which bus?

Phoenix.

- You still got about 20 minutes or so.

- Thank you.

You're thinking about Vincent.

You're thinking "Do I get on the bus

or do I go back for him?"

- Excuse me?

- The answer is, you go back.

- How did you find me?

- I'm not your enemy.

That's right. The whole world is my friend

and I'm happy to be a part of it(!)

- What are you? One of Rainbird's plants?

- You know better than that.

Oh, well, if you know who I am,

then you know what I can do.

I know.

Well, what do you want?

It's complicated.

Well, start at the beginning.

Use small words.

I was a friend of your family's, Charlie.

I was there with them, 20 years ago,

when Dr Wanless gave us a drug.

When they changed us for ever.

Richardson.

(Gil) Sir, it was just

a big, uncontrollable mess.

- And then...

- She got out.

- How could you lose control?

- Well, Vincent took my gun, sir.

- Vincent took your gun.

- He got lucky.

He got lucky? He's an accountant.

He doesn't have access to this facility.

- Mr Rainbird said to bring him in.

- Who signs your cheques?

- You do, sir.

- That's right. You work for me.

Vincent is meant to locate Richardson.

You're meant to close Richardson.

- But I found...

- You found McGee. Look what happened.

She blew up the facility,

and now you have to find her again,

which means delays, which cost money.

Am I making myself clear?

Find Richardson, Gil,

because the trucks are rolling.

Radiant Thunder may be over budget,

but it will be on time.

Yes, sir.

- What was she like?

- Wasn't a big deal, OK?

- She set his shoes on fire.

- Shut up.

- She was hot, too.

- That's funny.

I told you to shut up. OK, Andrew?

Yeah, Andrew, shut up.

But she wasn't hot. She was old.

You saw her too, didn't you?

- Good morning, John.

- Good morning.

- Quite a night last night, huh?

- Yes, yes.

Very exciting.

Not the word I was looking for,

but I see your point.

A security breach of this magnitude less

than 24 hours before Radiant Thunder.

But if you're excited, I'm excited.

Look, look, look, look.

Watch Cody.

- What else does she do?

- Nothing.

- She tasted sweet.

- What?

The kid doesn't say anything his entire life

and now he put three words together.

Way to go, Cody!

Your first complete sentence.

What, do you think

she's your girlfriend or something?

She didn't want to play with us.

I guess it made her mad.

She was lame. OK, guys?

She was lame. End of story.

She played with me.

- Don't you see it?

- See what?

Well, just look at him.

He's more responsive. He's interested.

The potential has always been there,

but he's never had

enough energy to fuel the change.

But Charlie has all the fuel that he needs.

To change into what?

I'm not quite sure.

John, how much did you know

about our unscheduled visit last night?

I know how devoted

you are to this project, sir.

But I also know how important it is

for you to tie up certain loose ends.

And I'm hoping Charlene McGee is not

gonna distract you from the big picture.

Thank you, Joel.

I do appreciate your candour.

Thank you, sir.

I hope you understand that I'm speaking

from a position of deepest respect.

Of course.

So, uh...

what are you doing about Vincent?

Joel... you like having

plausible deniability, don't you?

Well, from a legal standpoint, yes.

Then don't ask too many questions.

So how well did you know them?

Everyone knew Vicky.

She had this laugh.

Once it got going, she couldn't stop it. The

kids were always trying to crack her up.

- You liked her.

- Yeah, but she didn't even notice me.

Not after she met Andy. You'd just look

at them and you could see that they fit.

Vicky and Andy.

Dating. That's cool.

- Why do you think they did it?

- What?

- Lot 6.

- $100 was worth a lot of money in 1979.

It was at the school.

I mean, it should be safe, right?

A lot of us... had...

We couldn't adjust to the change.

You know,

you modify a couple of proteins, and...

(imitates blown fuse)

You know, your... your parents were

very strong, to last as long as they did.
