I don't want you to contradict me again,

do you understand?

Yes, of course.

You contact the helicopter and let him

take us as far as the army plane.

There has to be a refuelling stop

between here and Hawaii.

- We'll have to refuel in California.

- Yeah.

OK.

- Do you have paper and a pen?

- Sure.

Here you go.

I'm gonna write something

to my daughter.

- You're gonna take it to her.

- Yes, of course.

Charlie, love.

First thing, when you finish reading this,

flush it down the toilet, OK?

Second thing,

if everything goes the way I'm planning,

we're gonna be out of here tonight.

Third thing,

I want you to be in the stables at 8.00.

I'll arrange for somebody to bring you.

I miss you, Charlie. I love you so much.

- John!

- Hi, baby.

- I have to talk to you.

- Yeah, what about?

I'll tell you in the hall.

- They listen here.

- Right.

My daddy's found a way

for us to get out of here.

I'm supposed to meet him

at the stables at 8.00 tonight.

- That's great. How did he do it?

- I don't know, but isn't it wonderful?

Better. It's a miracle. I'll take you.

No, you'd get in trouble.

I wouldn't do that to you. You're my friend.

I appreciate that, Charlie,

but I'd do anything for you.

Hi, Charlie.

My name's Mike. Captain Hollister has

assigned me to take you to the stables.

- What time?

- Well, let's see.

I'll be back for you

about quarter to eight this evening.

So, what's going on?

- I asked if I could go riding at night-time.

- Oh?

Sure, kid, anything you want.

- Bye.

- See you later.

Come to me, Charlie.

OK, let's check you in here.

Hey!

Anybody here?

- You can go now.

- I have the kid with me.

I said you can go now!

- Get out of here.

- Can't do it, Charlie.

Back off. Back off.

Get out of here, you bastard,

or I'll burn you up, I'll fry you.

Charlie.

Charlie.

John? John?

- Where are you?

- I'm up here.

John...

I'm really glad you're here

but if anybody found out...

That doesn't matter any more.

The only thing that matters is you and me.

How'd you get Charlie to cooperate?

- Rainbird got her to do it.

- Who's Rainbird?

He's an agent, an exterminator. Charlene

thinks he's an orderly named John.

Come on up, Charlie. Come to John.

- My father should be here any minute.

- I know.

Hurry. Climb up now. Come to John.

That's it. Come on.

Good.

Good girl. Right...

- Are you armed?

- Yes.

- Charlie?

- Daddy!

Yeah. Oh.

- Let me look at you.

- Is it true? Are we really going away?

Yes, it's true, we're really going away.

Baby.

- You pushed him.

- You're right.

- My friend John is here.

- The orderly?

Yeah, he's up there.

Couldn't we take him with us

if he wants to come?

He's the one that shot us, baby.

He's the one that brought us here.

Oh, no, Daddy, that's John.

He took care of my room.

No.

He is with them.

- It isn't true, is it?

- Yes, it's true.

- Where are you, you son of a b*tch?

- You tricked me, you lied to me.

No, I just mixed up the truth a little,

Charlie. And I did it to save your life.

You come down here before I set

everything on fire, cos I can do it.

I know you can.

But if you do, you're gonna burn up

an awful lot of horses.

Can't you hear them?

Necromancer's in one of those stalls.

No, I'm not gonna do it.

No, I'm not gonna do it.

I'm not gonna burn.

No! Back off.

Please, don't. Back off.

You're not gonna do it.

Don't. Back off. Back off!

What more do you want from us?

Why can't you just let us go?

You can't just be let go. I don't think

your father even believes that now.

- You're dangerous and you know it.

- That's not my fault.

I know that. I don't care about that.

I never did. All I care about is you.

Now, come up here!

Don't make me shoot your father.

- Don't listen to him, Charlie.

- You promise he'll be all right?

- I give you my real word.

- Don't do it, baby.

- Are you sure?

- Yes.

Kill him.

Jump.

No.

No!

Oh, Daddy! Are you hurt?

- Charlie...

- Daddy! Daddy!

- You're bleeding.

- Charlie!

Daddy!

- Look at me.

- Go on.

Charlie, look at me.

That's it. So I can see your eyes.

I love you, Charlie.

I love you.

(over PA) I say again, Condition

Bright Yellow. This is not a drill.

Repeat, not a drill.

Converge on stables. Use caution.

It's the girl and she's using it.

You gotta get away if you can, Charlie.

If you have to kill anybody that gets

in your way, I want you to do it.

You let them know that this is a war,

Charlie.

You have to get out of here.

Do it for me.

Do it for me, baby, do you understand?

You make it. You make it so they can't

ever do anything like this again.

You'll have to burn it all down, baby.

Burn it all down.

Daddy...

Go on. Get outta here

before it all goes up.

I can't leave you.

I can't leave you, Daddy.

Oh...

I love you, Charlie...

Oh, no, Daddy.

Get the door. Ready?

- Don't move.

- Freeze.

Oh, my God!

Get her! Get her!

- Run! Run for it!

- Let's go!

Come on, let's get out of here.

No! No!

Take cover!

Take cover!

No... Stop!

No! No!

No! No!

Attention!

Stay right where you are.

Do not move. We're coming down.

For you, Daddy.

- Irv, look who's here.

- Thanks for the ride.

You'll be safe now, Charlie.

I'm doing it, Daddy.

I love you.
