Napoleon and Samantha Page #5

---

- I'm gonna find out where we are.

- Napoleon...

Don't worry. Major's here with you.

I'm just going to the next ridge.

I bet thas where Danny is.

- OK?

- OK.

Good.

Major! Now you sit down!

Do you hear me?

Where are you going?

Come back here.

Napoleon!

Major!

Whas gotten into you anyway?

You want to get us more lost?

Napoleon!

Napoleon!

- [Napoleon] Danny!

- [Sam] Danny!

Danny! Is me, Napoleon!

Hey! Hey, Napoleon! Hey!

[Napoleon] We're coming to visit you.

Danny!

[Sam] Danny, we found you!

Danny, I'm so glad we found you.

You crazy kids.

How'd you get here?

Over the mountains.

Over the mount?

Do you know how lucky you are?

I could have been 100 miles from here.

We were attacked by a bear,

and a mountain lion, we got lost...

Wait a minute. What happened?

What about your uncle?

And your parents?

Danny...

could we have something to eat?

And some milk for Maj?

Sure. OK. But I want to hear

the whole story, all right?

You should have told me the truth

about your uncle.

You mean you have no idea

where he is now?

- Why can't I come up and live with you?

- Because is not that simple.

For one thing, Samantha's here.

Gertrude's probably got in touch

with your family by now.

I only wanted to help Napoleon.

I was gonna go home after that.

But in the meantime,

they're worried sick.

Is all right to do your own thing,

but when somebody gets hurt,

thas something else.

Well, I'm not gonna live

in town anymore.

If you don't want me,

me and Major will go live up

with the Indians like my grandpa did.

Napoleon, is not a game.

I like you here.

Is just not possible.

But I don't want to go back to

any dumb old orphanage.

Orphanage?

Yeah. He's scared of orphanages.

"Orphanage" is like, a dirty word

you read in story books.

They're not like that.

Look, there's a lot of kids like you,

right, and thas too bad,

but there's also good, kind people

who gather you together

and make a family

in a nice home.

A place where everybody has friends,

and you play games,

and you get an education.

School?

Don't knock it.

With no education you're nothin'.

You get an education,

you can do anything you want.

The thing you should want to do most now

is be useful.

You know what I mean by being useful?

I think so.

Danny, are you useful?

[Laughs]

Well, um...

No, I wouldn't say I'm useful.

Not right now, but, um...

I do other things around here

besides tend goats.

I think, and...

study, and...

I'll get my master's degree soon.

- Whas that?

- Never mind.

The point is, if I can still

go to school so can Napoleon.

Later on you can be with the Indians,

sea captain, cowboy, anything you want.

But what about Maj?

Major can stay with me,

and you can visit him when you want.

All right?

Well, I don't know, Danny.

Napoleon.

Can I think about it?

Yeah, sure.

You think about it.

Danny, what about me?

You?

Right after supper I'll head into town

and catch a nap on the way.

In the morning, I'll talk to Gertrude,

and we'll get the whole thing

straightened out.

Are we going with you?

[Danny] No, sir.

No way. I think once

across the mountains is enough.

- I got a babysitter for you.

- [Napoleon and Sam] A babysitter?

[Danny] Yeah. His name's Mark.

Came out of nowhere.

Just like you.

[Napoleon] Where is he?

[Danny] I don't know. In the woods.

He spends a lot of time there.

- I think you'll like him.

- [Roars]

[Danny] He's kind of quiet.

There's...

Mark, you look like you just saw a lion.

Don't worry. He's tame as a pussycat.

Belongs to the kids.

He's really tame.

His name's Major.

Come here, Major!

I'll introduce you to him.

Here, Major!

Hi, Mark.

[Lion roars]

- Yes. What...

- Good morning. My name is Danny...

[Danny] Hey!

Lady, if you're Gertrude,

I have to talk to you.

Just a minute.

I'm alone in the house.

I have to put on a robe.

- You stay right there.

- OK.

Hello, police?

Lady? Is important.

Is about Samantha.

Gertrude, she's all right.

Can you hear me?

She's OK. I came by to tell you that.

Hello?

All right, mister. Take it easy.

- Whas going on?

- Against the door.

- What?

- You're under arrest.

Whad I do?

You have a right to remain silent.

If you give up this right, anything you

say can and will be used against you.

You got the wrong guy.

You have a right to speak to

an attorney during questioning.

- Now, wait a minute.

- Les go.

Thas him. He's the one, all right.

What did you do with them?

Where are those poor children?

I've been trying to tell you they're OK.

They're up in my cabin.

If you let me explain and listen to me.

The chief will do the listening

and talking. Don't cause any trouble.

[Lva] Gertrude!

Is he the one?

He certainly is.

If he's harmed one hair

on her head, I'll...

- Iva, will you drive me to the station?

- Indeed I will. Let me get the car.

Give me five minutes.

- That all you got?

- Thas all.

The chief will be here in a few minutes.

- Right. Pete, get him printed.

- Come on, this way.

See if there's a make on him.

Right hand first.

Are the kids all right?

Where'd they catch him?

[Lva] Come on, Gertrude, you step

right up and tell them about it.

Where are they?

[Policeman] Quiet down, everybody.

I want to know where Samantha is!

Lady. Gertrude...

I keep telling everybody

but no one's listening.

The kids are at my cabin.

They're fine.

- I don't know what this is all about.

- Two kids have disappeared,

an old man lies buried in his backyard,

and you were there.

- Right.

- You got a lot of questions to answer.

Come on, people.

Let the chief handle it.

Les move it.

Look, I'm not going anywhere

until I know Samantha's safe!

All right, you.

Sit down over here.

You guys are really beautiful.

All you have to do is send somebody

to the cabin. This would all be over.

If is cool, there's no hurry.

- Les wait till the chief gets here.

- We'll do everything by the book.

[Danny] Wait a minute.

- Hey, fella.

- Look at this.

Sit down.

This psycho is with the kids.

He's dangerous. Says it right here.

I'm telling the truth.

We gotta get up there.

Let go of me and listen!

Take it easy!

Wait till the chief gets back.

Ill be all right.

- Out of the way!

- Watch it!

There he goes.

Go back inside.

Take your car and cover the other side.

Hey, buddy.

[Woman screams]

[Man] Look out!

[Woman] Get out!

[Horn beeps]

Car two, repeat. I don't read you.

[Car 2] He's on a cycle.

Headed north on 27.

Should we set up a roadblock? Over.

Check and advise.

See what you can find out about him.

Is that Pete?

Whatever you do,

don't take your eyes off him.

We'll set up a roadblock

at Dawson's Ridge.

Put Adams and Suskind on it too.

This could turn out to be a big deal.

If we lose him,

he could take off in the brush.

- You want me to call the state patrol?

- Yeah.

And, uh, Chief Thomas at Carsonville.

Les get everybody on it.

Notify the airport.

Get a copter ready for me in 10 minutes.
