but I'm not.

I'm a cop.

That's all I know how to be.

I have to get out of here.

You have a son.

If you were me,

you'd do the same thing.

I have a son I've hardly seen

in seven years.

I don't mean anything to him.

My ex-wife got remarried.

She doesn't want me

to be part of his life.

I lost my family.

I should never

have let it happen.

Why are you telling me

all of this?

I don't want to lose you.

I don't want to lose Dominic.

I swear you'll never have

to run from him again.

Don't worry about anything, okay?

We're going to be

right across the hall.

Everything's going to be fine.

We just want

to be extra careful.

Thanks.

Don't worry.

Whoo!

All right, all right.

Settle down.

Good morning.

Good morning, Mr. Kimble.

Sit down.

It's very nice

to see you all again.

Meet my very good friend,

Phoebe O'Hara.

Good morning, Phoebe.

Miss O'Hara

is going to talk to you

about something very important.

So pay attention to what

she has to say, okay?

Remember, no fear.

Thanks.

Yeah?

Boys have a penis.

Girls have a vagina.

Well, you taught them the basics.

That's important.

Okay, now...

today we're going to talk

about something else

that's really important.

Today we're going

to talk about strangers.

If a stranger knocks

on your door...

never answer the door.

Because we never talk

to strangers.

Let's say that together.

We never talk to strangers.

Right.

Can we talk to kids?

Yeah, it's okay.

You can talk to kids.

What about dogs?

Huh?

Can we talk to dogs?

Yeah, you can talk to dogs.

But what you can't do...

what you must

never ever do is...

never talk to strangers.

On the kindergarten level...

we try to emphasize the three C's:

Caring, courtesy and courage.

Courage.

That's my philosophy, too.

Are you a single parent,

Mr. Green?

No, my wife had to stay behind

to complete the sale of our home.

I'm checking the schools

before we buy a home here.

Most kindergarten children

can't read yet.

My son can.

He reads at 6?

That's good.

And writes.

I taught him myself.

He sounds like

a special child.

He is. He's a great athlete.

Here's what you've waited for.

The kindergarten.

Have a look.

Oh, Dominic, Dominic...

Dominic is king

of the mountain!

Way to go, Dominic.

Here's your crown.

Congratulations, Dominic.

The king of Mount Kimble!

Dominic.

He looks odd, but he's

a wonderful teacher.

Yes, I'm sure he is.

Did you see Cullen Jr.?

Yeah, yeah.

She calls him Dominic.

She'd always wanted

to name him Dominic.

What a dumb name.

Put that cigar out.

It's unhealthy for the kid.

Then you make your aeroplane

go up into the clouds.

Check it out.

Right.

Okay, stay calm.

Okay, it's probably

a fire drill.

Oh, man.

Kimble, the hallway's

full of smoke.

Okay, this is a fire drill.

Come on.

This is the real thing.

Just the way we practiced.

Go out there.

Fast. Just the way

we practiced it.

(panicked chatter, indistinct shouting)

Mary, come on!

(older kids screaming)

Stay with us!

Okay, now. Come on.

It's only water.

Don't be scared.

Stay close to the wall.

Let's go.

Come on. Come on.

Dominic, stay close to me, okay?

Stay close to me.

Stay behind me.

Don't get separated.

(girl yells, wailing)

Are you all right?

Come on. Let's go.

Dominic, wait!

Dominic!

Dominic!

Help! Somebody help me!

Help!

Stranger!

Stranger!

Stranger!

Stranger!

Stranger!

Stranger!

Dominic!

Where's Dominic?

Dominic!

(all shriek)

Okay, stay together.

Stay together.

Don't separate.

Stay together.

Hold onto your partner.

Okay, don't lag behind.

Hold onto my hand.

Stay together.

Where's Dominic?

He's inside.

Kimble's looking for him.

Joyce!

Joyce!

Help!

It's okay. It's okay.

I'm not going to hurt you.

I'm not going to hurt you.

It's okay.

I'm a fireman.

I help people.

Well, where's your hat?

My hat?

I love this.

I can't fool my own boy.

He's just 6 years old.

You're right.

I'm no jerk fireman.

I'm going to tell you

something, Dominic.

It's going to be hard

for you to understand...

but you got to believe me.

I'm your father, Dominic.

Your father.

Don't you recognize me?

No.

Sure you do.

It's me.

Don't you remember

Twinkle, twinkle, little star?

We have the same kind of hands.

Don't you remember?

You're not my father.

My father lives in France.

Your mother told you that...

but that's not true!

I'm your father!

I've been searching

for you for five years.

Help! Help!

Dominic, I'm your father.

You're going to have

to do what I say.

Do you understand?

Freeze!

(both yelp)

Don't you know

there's a fire?

We thought it was another drill.

Well, get out!

Yes, sir.

(firefighter) Come on, kids!

Whoa, honey.

That's a fire in there.

I got a kid in there.

I'm a cop.

If I need a ticket fixed,

I'll call you.

In the meantime...

- Stay the hell out.

- Aw, come on!

Go on.

All right.

Quiet, you hear me? Quiet.

No!

Rachel!

Let go!

Just what I need.

Please, let him go.

Let him go!

How the hell

do you get out of here?

Please, please,

don't do this!

You're scaring him!

Scared? Of course he's scared.

You told him lies about me.

My son doesn't know me

because of you.

Listen!

Just listen.

You stole him from me!

Please, give him back.

Don't touch him!

Aah!

Dominic, I had to do it!

I didn't want to do it.

She made me.

Everything's going

to be okay, Dominic.

Dominic?

Come back.

We're getting out of here.

Dominic?

Going to start

a whole new family.

Aah!

Dominic!

Gotcha!

I love you.

Do you understand?

Tell me you understand that.

Say it. Say it!

I understand.

Daddy.

Daddy.

Hold it!

Right there.

Drop it! Hurry!

Don't. Don't.

He's not your hostage.

He's your son.

Drop it. On the floor.

You'll do this to your own son?

Drop it!

I'm losing it! Hurry!

Relax. I'm putting it down.

Hurry!

Here it is.

Here it is.

Just don't harm the boy, okay?

Good. Good. That's smart.

All right.

Why don't you let the boy go now?

The boy is mine!

He's my boy!

You get your own goddamn family!

Aah!

No!

Are you okay?

I'm okay. Get Dominic.

Okay.

Dominic!

Dominic!

Where's my grandson?

I don't know.

Where's my grandson?

Go to hell.

That's where you're going,

you son of a b*tch!

You're not so tough

without your car...

are you?

Mr. Kimble,

are you all right?

Oh, I hate this.

Nah, he doesn't

want to eat that.

He's a tough guy.

Tough guys don't eat Jell-O.

I'll come back later.

Hi.

Hi. How you feeling?

Much better.

How about you?

I'll live.

Check out of here.

This stuff will kill you.

Just don't throw up on me.

I'm not going

to throw up on you...

but I am going to kiss you.

Phoebe.

Thanks.

Thanks, partner.

Sure.

How's everybody feeling today?

I brought goodies.

Did I do that?

Give me the flowers.

I got some goodies and...

I got it caught.

And something

I cooked myself.

I almost didn't recognize you

with all your clothes on.

You look good yourself.

Aah!

Did l... I'm sorry.
