- That's why I had to come alone.

But I tell you what...

...when this plane touches down...

...you will be in the bosom of

a company of United states Marines...

...all straight up and down

and vying for your attention.

What could be better?

Do you have a comb?

I don't believe I ever carried one.

Thank you.

For what?

For coming for me.

Well, what the hell.

What's that?

I believe it's an apple seed.

- Johnny Appleseed.

- Yeah, that's me. Just a man of peace.

Get on the phone. Get to our people.

See if they can seal off...

There she is. Get her!

Cut him off. Cut him off!

Laura Newton!

Laura!

You! The man.

Step away from the girl.

Walk to me, Miss Newton.

Walk to me.

My name is stoddard.

You've seen me in your home...

...with Mr. Burch.

You're almost home. Walk to me.

This man is a rogue agent.

He came here to take you...

...for the ransom.

Even if it was true,

you're coming with me.

- Get up.

- Laura?

This man was sent to harm you.

He knows I'm not leaving here

without you.

Give her up.

Give the girl up...

...and we can talk.

We have control of the airport.

Let her come forward.

We leave in a minute.

Let me see what's going on.

- Okay.

- Mr. Scott.

- Robert scott.

- One more lap. Okay?

We're gonna go get you on that plane.

You're gonna make it. Okay?

- Okay. Here we go.

- Laura, walk away from him.

He knows the game is up.

He knows it's over. You're safe.

- Get on the plane!

- Bring out the camera.

- What do you see?

- I'm getting it!

Get it out! I'm not leaving

until I find out what's going on.

- Find it. What do you see?

- Hold on. Hold on.

We've got you. We've got you now.

We've got you.

Thank God we found you.

Here you go. Come get her!

Thank goodness we found you.

Hey, get her out of here!

Clean this mess up.

I'm at the airport.

It appears to be a gunfight.

A gunfight!

No, I don't know who.

I'm staying to tape it.

Hold the plane!

You could have come home!

You know that?

You dumb son of a b*tch!

We needed you!

It's world war III out there!

World war III!

Do you read the papers?

And that little whore wanted to

bring the man down. At this time!

- I'm going home?

- That's right, honey. You bet you are.

And just one more thing.

- I'm getting in the car.

- No, honey, there is no car.

We have to get you out of here.

No. Who are you?

Me and Mr. Scott came to take you home.

Do you know what we've

had to do all these years...

...to keep her under wraps?

You shortened her life, pal!

We would have let her go to the desert,

but you had to put on your thinking cap!

Hold on one minute!

- Go on, what do you see?

- Okay.

- Are you getting it?

- Get on the plane.

Oh, my God.

- I got her.

- Hold the plane! Laura Newton!

Get her on the plane!

Get her out of here!

- Call the tower!

- Wait! Wait!

- Laura!

- Get us out of here.

Get her on the plane!

Get this girl on the plane!

Get her on the plane!

Get her on the plane!

Get us out of here!

Get us up!

Oh, baby.

Oh, baby.

Is she safe?

Yeah.

She's safe.

We brought the girl back.

Yeah. She just took the long way home.

CSv World News International.

And as we return again...

...the administration,

forced by this terrible abduction...

- Thank God they had that ability.

- That's right.

To capitalize on the drowning deaths,

to capitalize on the unfortunate deaths...

...of those two people sailing.

Here is the arrival

of Laura's father.

Who can forget these images?

- Laura Newton in the United States.

- Yes, indeed.

Many believe that Robert Burch

is due not only the thanks...

...but the admiration of the

entire American people for his role.

Terror takes many forms.

I can conceive of no act of terror

greater than the unforgivable...

...the ultimate destruction,

that of a human soul.

The kidnapping of Laura Newton

has revealed to us...

...has allowed us to confront

and will allow us to eradicate...

...the international traffic in souls.

It was brought about because of

a family's love for their daughter.

A simple American act.

The love of Americans

for all our daughters...

...who are the soul...

Who are the soul of this great country.

- We thank God...

- Time to go home.

...this one daughter has returned home.

We vow that we will not rest...

- Lucky man.

...until all who have suffered her fate...

...are once again reunited

with their families.

Thank you.
