The Evil That Men Do Page #4

Where are we going?

Right here. It's a village called

Magdalena, if this thing will make it.

It was the Doctor

who wanted you called in on this.

- What have you done?

- I sent men to the place by the lake.

Last I heard, they were chasing

the suspects to Hell.

- How's the Doctor?

- Rattled. He's taking it hard.

We're up against a pretty tough cookie.

I figure there's some terrorist outfit

using the kidnapping to raise cash.

Either that or some turkey with more balls

than brains is trying to get at the Doctor.

Sh*t. I better get to a phone.

All right. Just keep the Indian

from wandering away.

Blow his feet off if you have to.

We're on our way.

Turkeys, my ass!

My man that just called in, found

his partners burnt to a crisp in a field.

- Where?

- Five hours down the road.

I don't think this damn thing

is gonna make it.

Nothing in there but pigs.

Big goddamn suckers that bite.

I told you to keep that farmer here.

What could I do?

Shot his feet off like I told you. A**hole.

This guy's a pro.

What? Pro? He's turned this

place into a wrecking yard.

- And he still got away with the sister.

- Oh, Jesus.

- How far is the next village?

- That's Magdalena.

One of those sleepy little maana places,

about 100 kilometres.

Let's go.

Come on. We're leaving.

Here's something to eat.

One of these could heat Cincinnati

for a month.

Doesn't it ever get to you, Holland?

Even a little?

Don't you sometimes want

to just scrub your hands raw?

Just to wash the death off them.

I don't think about it

the way you think about it.

I don't know if I can go on much longer.

You said you wanted to see for yourself.

You wanted to be there

when he was finished.

I think maybe I've had enough.

All this killing. The blood.

Rhiana, you had a choice before.

You don't have a choice now.

Eat some of this.

Did anyone ever tell you,

you talk in your sleep?

What did I say?

Ask him what happened.

He said they were very young.

Soldiers took them away.

He says the bodies were badly mutilated.

It happens often.

Tell him we're on his side.

Ask him if there's a telephone in town

we can use.

He says he has a caf.

We can use his telephone.

Come on.

- Want a beer?

- Beer would be nice.

Well, it doesn't look closed to me.

Bring us a couple of beers.

It's hot!

What do you do,

recycle the stuff from the john?

You're in my friend's house,

show some respect, or get the hell out!

Let's stop blowing the smoke.

You've got what we want.

We'll pay.

I only deal with Molloch. Where is he?

F*** him. What do you care?

Just so long as you get the money, right?

That's being smart.

Now let's talk about

a more reasonable price.

You know, I was thinking,

I'd like to have a Mercedes...

...and a little ranch in Malibu.

And maybe a hairdresser place

up there in Aspen, you know what I mean?

My client's willing to go $200,000, tops.

What? You expect me to rent?

Look, we're talking serious business.

Shut up, a**hole!

It's not money you want, is it, Holland?

You're too smart for the job, Cannell.

He was wearing a bullet-proof vest.

Do you know a couple of slugs

named Briggs and Cannell?

- You've killed them.

- It was stupid of you. Don't do it again.

Where's my sister?

She's not suffering.

Now, let's get on with the transaction

and stop all this screwing around.

I'm ready.

First, I going to warn you.

This time you come on your own.

Southwest of you

is a village called Magdalena.

Before the village, there's a mining road

off to the right. Take it.

It'll bring you up in front of an

opal mine. I'll meet you there.

Max told me that these mines

were abandoned.

They have permission to look for opals.

Sometimes, they get lucky.

Maybe they could come back. Ask them

to leave and come back tomorrow.

They won't. This is the only way

they make money to feed their families.

There's a car coming.

There's a very dangerous man

coming in that car.

There might be gunfire.

Are you really going to shoot him?

That's why we're here, isn't it?

Claire.

Over here, Molloch.

Sarah!

Oh, Mummy.

He's got Sarah.

It's gonna be all right.

As long as he believes we have his sister,

she'll be all right.

I can't see you, but I

trust you can see me.

You now know I have the child.

I regret what may seem excessively cruel.

Please understand, you forced me to do it.

I will do anything necessary

to get my sister back.

Do you hear me?

It's me you want, isn't it?

Not the money.

Is my life worth the child's life?

A fair exchange.

The child for my sister.

What are you going to do?

Well? Where is she?

Where is she?

She's safe.

She isn't here, is she?

Is she?

She's here!

Clement!

Claire! Where are you?

Where have they got you?

Help me, please. Please.

Claire?

Close the window.

Bring me my sister, or I'll kill the child!

Paco! Paco, help me!

You bring my sister this instant

or he'll shoot her.

Bring me my sister this instant.
