Firestarter 2: Rekindled Page #6

You adjusted.

No. I went crazy.

Oh, you don't... I mean, you're not crazy.

- How's your coffee?

- Tastes like cigarettes.

What have you been doing

for the last 20 years?

- I've been waiting for you.

- How'd you know where I was gonna be?

Because this is where we meet.

- That's not an answer.

- It is an answer.

It's just not the answer

that you wanna hear.

- Well, what do I wanna hear?

- Chain of events, cause and effect.

Universe doesn't really work that way.

There's no past, there's no future.

It just is.

You are crazy.

And you light fires with your mind.

I used to be like everyone else.

I used to walk through my life

facing backwards,

only seeing where I'd been.

Then they gave me Lot 6.

Now I see everything. I see the past,

I see the present, I see the future.

I see everything.

All at once.

- And it's time to go.

- Why?

- We have to go now.

- Why?

Because they're looking for you, and in

a minute they'll walk through that door.

- Well, I'm not going with you.

- That's what you say, not what you do.

- And why should I believe you?

- Don't.

Hang on another minute

and see what happens.

Hi.

Hi.

I'm Max.

Want me to show you

where your thyroid is?

Max. Thank you.

Hello.

- Do you know where you are, Mr Sforza?

- No.

You're in the Systems Operations

daycare facility.

- (Vincent) Are all of them?

- (John) Special? Oh, yes.

Very special.

Now, look. I'm going to say

two words to you, Mr Sforza,

and you're going to tell me

everything you know about those words.

Charlene McGee.

- You can see the future?

- No, I don't see it. I'm in it.

Everything's already happened for me,

and I can't change anything.

- Everyone has a choice.

- No, they have the illusion of choice.

- It's not the same thing.

- You're wrong.

Am I? Why did you go back

to Systems Operations?

- Vincent said that they could help me.

- You believed him?

- It doesn't matter now.

- It does matter. Everything matters.

It's all connected, and what happens

to Vincent changes everything.

What do you mean,

"what happens to Vincent"?

You got away. Vincent didn't.

- I didn't ask him to do what he did.

- He had no choice.

And I don't either, right?

I have to save him?

No.

So, I don't go back for him?

You go back for him.

You don't save him, Vincent dies.

Vincent? You don't mind if I call you

Vincent? You must call me John.

- What are they doing?

- Helping.

You're in complete control.

You can stop any time you want.

All you've got to do is to talk to me.

Tell me about her, Vincent.

You've seen the files.

You know more than I do.

What I want isn't in the file.

I want to... I want to know what she's like.

- I don't understand.

- Well,

does she still suck on her lower lip

when she gets nervous?

Does she...

Does she fall asleep

when you tickle her back?

I want to know her.

I missed her growing up, you see.

Where is she, Vincent?

I don't know.

(screams)

Does she have someplace to go?

Someplace safe?

I don't know.

God, I don't know!

I swear to God, I don't know.

- And I'm glad, because if I did, I'd tell you.

- Yes, I think you would.

Paul, ask him how he found out about us.

You already know that.

Your eyes, they're burning.

They're melting.

(phone rings)

- Hello.

- Henry, get out of your apartment now.

- I'm making soup.

- Just do it.

- What is this about?

- It's about that tape. Get out right now.

Or else what? The "men in black"

are gonna come get me?

- I'm gonna download the tape.

- Just leave the tape. Just go.

Henry?

Henry?

- Hey, buddy.

- Where's my brother?

Oh, we've got the tape, we've got you.

I think we can let your brother slide.

There never was a class-action suit.

- You killed those people.

- Yeah.

You brought them to me.

- Why?

- Why do you think, Vincent?

It's what we're paid to do.

Close the western region. No comebacks.

- Comebacks from what?

- Radiant Thunder.

Gil! Gil told me!

All right. Well, as I told you before,

you're in control.

We'll stop whenever you want.

I'd like to stop now, please.

And if you get him out, then what?

You're the psychic.

Just because I know something

doesn't mean I understand why.

I thought I didn't have a choice.

But you think you do.

Well, I don't know, you know?

Vincent knows about me

and he's not afraid.

He's not afraid of you? Come on!

Forget it.

What? Oh, you think that

you and Vincent are like your parents.

Look, I said forget it, OK?

I wish things were different

for you. I really do.

Yeah, you think you know

everything, don't you?

I do.

I am really getting tired

of all this metaphysical crap.

Do you think I like it? Knowing what's

gonna happen, every second, every day?

When they gave me that drug,

they destroyed my life as surely

as they'd put a bullet through my brain.

Ah, but you're gonna burn

their house down.

That's what Rainbird wants. Every time

I lose control, every time I kill, he wins.

I'm gonna save Vincent,

and that's all I'm gonna do.

- Whatever you say.

- You don't have to patronise me,

because you may think

that you don't have a choice, but I do.

OK. OK.

OK.

You passed out. Here, take this.

Come on, it's only water.

I can make him drink it.

Whoa! Not too fast.

That's better.

You've got to save all your strength. Now,

Vincent, just because I'm torturing you,

doesn't mean to say

that you're not part of my team.

- I'm not part of your team.

- But of course you are.

I mean, you're the one that found Charlie.

I'd been looking for her for ten years.

I didn't find her. You did.

(Cody) I'm hungry.

You didn't stop with her, did you?

How many drugs did you test?

What, Lot 7? Lot 8?

How many?

Well, you should know. I mean,

you were tracking down all the failures.

I think we finally perfected

the process with Lot 23.

And these fine young men here

are the happy result.

- Lot 23?

- Yeah.

It seems overwhelming, I know,

but we were just developing

a technology like any other.

Ours just happened to be a gene

sequence on the 17th chromosome.

You can't go around treating people

like they were experiments.

Ooh. I do.

John, I'm hungry.

(groans)

- What's with him?

- I think the boy is hungry.

You see, Cody is an energy sink.

He absorbs energy.

Electricity, heat,

life.

- Life?

- Well, what is life if not energy?

Yes, he absorbs life. He consumes life.

I've only met one other with the power

to match his, but you know all about her.

How I taught her everything.

And when she left me... well.

That's the reason

I only work with boys now.

Oh! Look at this!

I bet she looked beautiful

wearing this, didn't she?

I wouldn't know.

Now, you just tell me. What exactly

happened when you two were alone?

Nothing.

He's lying.

Did you...

did you... sleep with her?

It's none of your business.

Did you... sleep... with... her?

Case number 91-1990.

Mary Conant.

The body is that of a well-nourished,

adult, Caucasian female.

Approximately 48 years old.
