You gotta tell me what you want, little man.

Otherwise, I got no way of knowing.

What have you done with my grandson?

Where is he?

I know all the legalities, and you're in a lot of trouble.

Take him alive!

Gotta get that baby out of the county pronto.

Leave that baby inside, and come out with your hands up.

Where's that clown on Strings' tail?

Herb Walden, look at him go.

Come on, hotshot, show me what you're made of.

He's a friend of mine, Don. Don't worry.

Yeah, famous last words. Don't worry.

Oh, relax, pal. He's just having a little fun.

Fun?

Huh.

Greg, that's your pal String up there testing your plane.

And that clown's having fun?

Hot dog out.

Just call me Super Glue, hot shot. I'm sticking to your tail.

What do you think, String? Should I buy that old warbird?

You know, you could have killed us both.

Oh, come on. You know we were just kidding around up there?

I don't ever fool around up there.

Anybody that does is a damn fool.

Who is this guy?

He was my instructor when I was a 19-year-old second Louie.

He never stopped talking about safety, about controlling our instincts to hot

dog.

He's the best pilot I've ever seen.

Well, apparently you haven't seen that many real pilots.

Waldron, you were out of line up there.

And you're lucky I don't report you.

Yeah, sure. Well, I'll tell you what I did figure out while I was up there,

though, is how you NAM boys piled up all those Oak Leaf clusters.

And what's that supposed to mean?

Well, the way I figured is you took off and you came back.

So you got credit for the mission.

You know something, Waldron?

You'd have had the shortest career ever in Vietnam.

Your own men would have seen to that.

Your friend Greg's got a nice little set up here.

Well, when your name is Stuart and you live in a place called Stuartville,

that'll tell you something, huh? I'm impressed.

But remember, we came up here to go fishing, huh? Yeah.

Well, first thing in the morning.

Hey, uh, did you see yourself living here?

Somehow you got something against rich people?

Yeah. None that never adopted me.

Rainy. Please, Greg.

I want to do the right thing.

Rainy dear, don't you think I know how you feel?

I know what it would have been like if I'd had to give Greg up.

But I ask you not to think with your heart.

I'm trying, Mrs. Stewart.

Motherhood is a responsibility.

The responsibility of doing the best for your child.

I know that. I just... I need the time to think it over again.

Sign the papers, Rainy.

Give me custody of our baby and know for the rest of your life that he'll grow up

strong and safe right here.

Educated, knowing books, music, everything.

Everything I can't give him.

Rainy, the baby is a steward.

Someday he'll take his rightful position in this state, a position of wealth and

power.

And he must be trained to be ready for that day.

Do you think I'm not capable of phrasing it?

Not for that.

You've no experience of that world.

It baffles you.

Mother. Greg, it's all right.

She's probably right.

What is it, Hurt?

Uh, excuse the interruption, but that hotshot pilot, Hawk, he's outside

looking for you.

You remember Stringfell Hawk, no matter what? Sure. How could I bring a name

like that?

And, Greg, remember you've got to get that plane back to San Jose by 5?

Oh, I know. Is that late?

Mother, let's finish this tomorrow.

But... Mrs. Stewart, I'd like some more time.

Very well.

Why'd you break me and Greg up?

It was Greg's decision to end the marriage.

That's the past.

I want to talk about my grandson's future.

Not now, Mrs. Stewart.

Excuse me, please.

Herbert.

I want you to make sure that she does not leave the grounds until those papers

are signed.

No problem.

Incidentally, Mrs. Stewart, any time you want me to talk to her, just say the

word. No, that won't be necessary.

Now, I'd better see about my guests.

Adieu, gentlemen.

No, thanks.

Hey, Greg.

Hi, Dom. Hey, listen, glad you made it.

I'm sorry I wasn't here to greet you. We've been looking over your spread.

Great place.

Hey, Greg, you know, Dom and I were thinking about taking off this

afternoon. Try and make the mountains before dark.

Come on, you can't go now. You just got here.

Look, I gotta ferry that Corsair back up to San Jose. I'll be back in a couple

hours. Why don't you stay here and enjoy the party?

Greg, you know I'm not much of a party person.

We haven't even had a chance to visit yet.

Hoist a few, swap some stories.

The fish will be there in the morning. I'll pay for the motel.

That's not necessary, Greg.

You've got all these guests. I figured you'd be entertaining.

They'll all be gone in a few hours. We can spend the whole evening together.

What do you say?

One condition.

Get to meet that son of yours.

Yeah, we want to see what all that bragging's about.

It's a deal.

He's in the house. As soon as I get back, I get a formal introduction.

I say, look, I got to go.

Dismissed, Lieutenant.

Get out of here. Adios, Will.

Something tells me it's going to be a long couple of hours.

Let's make the best of it.

What do you think I should do, huh?

If I leave you here, you'll grow up to be educated and confident and rich

without even trying.

Yeah.

If I take you with me, all you'll get is all the love I can give you.

What do you say, little guy?

Sorry, ma'am.

This car isn't going anywhere till Mrs. Stewart wants it to.

What do you say? We hop the fence, get the car?

Rainy. Hi, Hark.

Dom, you remember Rainy, Greg's wife?

Of course I do.

Well, used to be Greg's wife.

Sorry.

Is this little Greg?

Yes. May I?

Sure. Oh.

Hey!

Hey, look at him. He's smiling at me.

He did.

He's usually afraid of strangers.

What? Who's a stranger?

I'm his uncle down here.

You know, Rainy, it's hard to think about you and Greg being apart.

I remember the wedding.

I never saw two happier people.

Yeah, well, things change, I guess.

Um, Hop, could you do me a favor?

Anything. Um, I need a lift in town.

Now?

Yeah.

Well, our station wagon's right over here. It's crammed full of fishing gear,

but we can make room for you. Come on.

Hold it.

Sorry. Can't let you leave, ma'am. Who says?

It's Mrs. Stewart's orders.

It's quite all right, really.

No, it's not all right.

You two want to leave, that's fine.

She stays here.

If I was you, I'd take your hands off that lady now.

I don't want any trouble.

Why don't you let Mrs. Stewart explain it to you?

If you like.

Oh, it's very sad.

She's a very sweet girl.

But she's not taking the divorce well at all.

She's been, oh, distraught and moody.

But that's no reason to hold her prisoner, ma'am.

Oh, really, gentlemen, there's no reason to be so melodramatic.

It is true that we are trying to keep Rainy on the estate, but it's for her

own good and the good of the baby.

She is not in a proper emotional condition to be on her own with a young

child.

Oh, we do appreciate your concern, but please believe me, we have only Rainy's

interest at heart.

You buy what she said?

No, not exactly.

I'd like to double-check everything with Greg. Hi.

What'd you think of Mrs. Stewart?

What a lady.

I, uh, understand that you've been kind of upset lately.

I guess that's true.

Uh, it's been very hard.

Look, if you still want to leave... Oh, no, no, no.

That's fine. Everything's been taken care of.

Are you leaving?

Well...

We're really not much into partying.

I think we'll come back this evening and have a talk with Greg.

Great. Maybe I'll see you then.

Thank you, both.

For everything.

Yes? Uh, this is Herb Waldron.

Herbert, what is it? You sound strange.

Right after Greg took off, it was an accident.

Greg's all right, isn't he?

Uh, no.

No, he's not, ma'am. I'm sorry. I am really sorry. I know how close you two

were.

Mrs. Stewart, are you there?

You haven't contacted the coroner's office, have you?

No. No, not yet.

Nobody knows but Arnie, me, and there were a couple of farmers.

I want you to bring my son home.

Didn't bring him home Right away

That's

damn shame two nice kids like Greg and Rainey and that little baby They

ought to be the happiest family in the world Instead, one big miserable mess.

Yeah, well, I'll each break it an hour or so.

Might have a little more to talk about this time than just old times.

Did you just gurgle?

Jumping jihasa fatty.

Hey!

Hey! Look what we got here!

Hey, how are you?

Huh? Hey!

Oh, my goodness.

Kid's got a lot of class.

Huh?

Dear String and Dom, Greg's mother wants to take my baby from me.

Please get him out of this county right away and bring him to my family.

She's got an address.

Thank you and God bless you, Rainey.

Well, she sure sounds desperate.

Yeah.

You think we ought to take him to her folks?

I don't know.

We don't want to be accessories to some kind of custody kidnapping.

No.

Maybe I better get a hold of Greg.

What are we going to do with him in the meantime?

Well, I'm sure you'll figure out something, Mom.

Where do you get this much?

Oh, honest.

Oh, Greg was supposed to be back hours ago.

Well,

I'll speak to his mother then.

What about Rainy?

Where's that?

All right.

Boy, this stinks.

They say that Greg's nowhere to be found.

His mother's not available.

Now, Rainy's gone back to her parents' farm some 35 miles from here.

Mrs. Stewart.

Um... Where do you want me to put him?

Oh... Down... Downstairs.

For a while.

Tonight, tomorrow.

We'll have to move him tomorrow.

Obviously...

Rainey mustn't know.

I understand.

Still no answer at Rainey's parents.

That doesn't mean she isn't there.

Maybe she's just not answering.

From the looks of it, it seemed to me she was due for a little rest and

relaxation.

I suppose you could be right.

Listen, I'm going to go out there.

It's the only way I'll ever know for sure.

I'll be back.

Okay, okay, Uncle String wasn't that good a company.

Okay, aha, I got it. Dinner time.

Yeah, dinner.

Okay, here we go.

Just what Mama wanted. Look at here, huh?

And now, the bottle.

How the hell are you going to pour anything into this?

Santiniere.

What? You have a baby?

Yeah. Listen.

Huh?

Dom, you really do have a baby there.

Look,

I'm sort of babysitting, you know what I mean? And I swear to God, I got a baby

bottle here that's more air than bottle.

Dom?

You need the disposable liners in that bottle. You know, they're the little

plastic bags that hold everything.

Little plastic bag? Now, ho, ho, hold it. Just a minute. Hold it right there.

Little plastic bags. Are we getting a baby? We're getting it, sweetheart.

Uh-huh.

Baby.

I got it, Kate. I got it, baby. All right. Thanks a million.

Right. Hey, where'd you get that baby?

No, no, no. I got no time now. I got no time. Tell you later.

Oh, baby.

Mama mia.

Progress.

Sit down.

You know, Herbert, it's more important to me now than ever that Rainy sign over

my grandson's custody.

Yes, before anyone finds out about Greg.

In the outside world, you see all kinds of behavior, some of it violent.

You must have many ways of dealing with difficult problems.

Well, yes, I do.

So, if Rainey should continue to refuse... I will

deal with the problem.

With no ties to this house?

Absolutely none.

I assure you there will be a big bonus in it for you.

A bonus big enough for you to want to hide it in a distant bank.

Perhaps something in the Caribbean.

What are you doing here?

Take it easy. Take it easy.

You get out of here right now or I'm gonna scream. You understand me? All

right. You hear me? All right. Get up! All right.

Yeah,

Santini here.

Kate, help.

Listen, the kid won't stop crying.

I fed him.

I burped him.

And he's wailing like a banshee.

How hard did you pat him?

Gently. Very gently.

Oh, okay. Well, do it just about as hard as you do for your heartburn.

Oh?

Where are you guys, anyway?

Huh? Oh, Stuartsville.

Yeah, but where? I mean, what's going on?

The burp of the year!

Thanks, Kate. See you later.

Any time, Dad.

Hey!

The burp of the year!

Shh!

Tom, stay here. Any luck?

I've been over to Rainy's parents' place.

They haven't seen anything of Rainy.

They believe she's probably still at the Stewart's.

Which means?

Which means somebody's lying to me, and I doubt it's them.

I spent most of the night talking with them about Rainy and the Stewart's, and

those folks are on the level.

Where are you going now? You need some sleep.

I've got to get some answers.

I'll probably go over to the Stewart's place. I want to find Rainy or Greg or

somebody.

Tell me the truth.

You're nuts, you know that?

It's wonderful what a little burp will do.

Good morning, Rainy.

You asked for one more day, and that time is up.

Now take this pen and sign.

Do the sensible thing for you and your son.

I'm sorry, Mrs. Stewart.

I have made a decision, and I'm not going to give you custody of little

Greg.

Oh, you can't mean that, Rainy.

There comes a time in every young person's life when they need guidance.

You might as well save your breath, Mrs. Stewart. You can't wear me down, and I'm

not going to give you my baby.

You should just understand that and let me go.

Deep down, there is some strength.

What have you done with my grandson?

Where is he?

Rainy, where is he?

Rainy!

Rainy, it's me, Strange!

Hark! Now I know what you've done with him.

Hello, chicken.

Waldron.

So you've got Waldron for your... You're a county sheriff.

Must be kind of embarrassing having a peace officer who's more dangerous than

most of the criminals in the country.

Keep that up, bright boy.

That's enough, Herbert.

What can I do for you, Mr. Hawk?

I want to talk with Greg.

He's not here.

What about Rainy?

She's gone, too.

With Greg.

With Greg?

Yes. They left early this morning.

I think they're going to get back together again.

And I'm to take charge of the baby until they return.

I'm very sorry about that, Mrs. Stewart.

It's not going to happen as I speak in person with Greg or Rainey.

Now, you listen to me, Hawk.

I've got written permission from the parent to take charge of that child.

I want my grandson, Mr. Hawk.

And I want your son right here in front of me, because he'll tell me the truth.

Mr. Stewart, we had a discussion a little while ago about how you wanted

things done. Does that extend to this situation here?

Yes, I believe so, Herbert.

Now, let's go, Hawk.

Now, Herbert, I would like to have you... All

right,

that was Hawk. Take him alive.

Let's go. Move it out.

Arnie, come in.

Yes, Herb?

Take the children and yourself and hide out in the cellar.

But now the fighting will be close at hand.

Don't believe the church and state and everything they tell you.

Believe in me, I win.

Can you hear me running?

Can you hear me running? Can you hear me calling you?

Can you hear me?

Can you hear me running?

Can you hear me running? Can you hear me calling?

Just inside the doorway.

Use it only in emergencies.

Well, you should pray to God, the Father and the Spirit, who

guide you and protect you from up here.

Can you hear me?

Can you hear me?

Centiniere. Kate.

Yeah, we need the lady.

We're in trouble here.

Okay, give me the location.

Yes, yes, yes, yes. Oh, oh, oh, oh, okay.

All right, okay.

Yeah.

Hello?

Waldron is a deputy. He's all over the place.

We got to get that baby out of the county pronto.

We can't do it by going over the roads.

I already called Caitlin.

She'll be at the motel as soon as possible. She's bringing the lady.

But what about you?

I'm going back to the Stewart's if I can find Rainey.

Okay, Fisher. Okay, buddy.

Why

is

it taking so long?

Two strangers and a baby in a small town.

Waldron here.

It's about time. Where?

All right, stay there.

Wait for me.

We've located them. Where?

They're holed up in a motel out on the old highway. I'll have your grandson

back here for you in no time.

Herbert. Yes, ma'am.

Be very careful with little Greg.

I will.

And when you come back, I want that girl taken care of.

I'll see to it.

You don't seem to have grasped the fact that there is no more talk.

I've already talked to Herbert and told him to do whatever was necessary.

Greg will never let you hurt me, no matter what.

Don't you understand?

Greg can't help you anymore.

Greg is dead!

She's dead.

She said that Greg's dead.

Do you think it's true?

I don't know.

I've looked for him everywhere.

Everybody I ask about him seems like they're hiding something.

His mother's been acting so weird since last night.

What happened last night?

A helicopter came and landed on the lawn, and two men carried something into

the house.

Did you tell what it was?

No. It was too far away.

Do helicopters land there often?

Yeah, but not at night.

Rainey, is there a cellar or a storage area where it's cool?

There's there's a wine cellar Couple

of minutes you and

me are gonna go for a nice little ride

Santini

inside and come out with your hands up.

And I'm asking you if you got a search warrant.

I

got

a search warrant, all right.

Now, either you come out or we're coming in.

Which is it gonna be?

Come on, kid.

We're gonna go, huh?

We're gonna go for a nice little ride, okay?

All right, we're coming out!

We're coming out, you hear me?

Put down your guns!

You hear me? We're coming out!

Put down those guns now!

You got no right to do this now. His mother asked me to take care of him.

She changed her mind.

Yeah, well, I want to hear that from her.

Back off, Sheriff.

You're obstructing justice.

I order you to get out of the way.

Uh-oh, is he in for a surprise?

Come on, let's get out of the way, little man.

Give it your best shot.

Rainy, listen to me.

Put this out of your mind right now.

Think about your baby.

OK.

Oh, sweet Greg.

I'm so sorry I got you into all this trouble.

You didn't.

Walter and Mrs. Stewart did.

Warren, we're down.

Pop the girl heading east on 105.

Safe and sound.

Thank you.

Oh, gorgeous.

What's his name?

Greg. After his father.

Oh, baby.

Come on, let's get out of here.

No, no, no, me and Greg can't. No, no, no, no, no. He's safer than he would be

in his own playpen. Come on.

Come on, Dom, get this thing fired up. Yeah, okay.

Yeah, same one came after me.

Same pilot?

Probably. He was the guy at the motel. The sheriff.

Yeah.

Herb Waldron.

Now open Waldron's radio channel.

Done.

Waldron, don't make me take you down.

You couldn't do it.

Best day.

Maybe still okay.

Talk about your cool customers.

Look at him. That little wolf was born to fly.

You must be very happy.

No, ma'am.

I lost someone I loved.

Well, now, if you'll escort me, I will place myself in your charge.

My lawyer will outline for you what I expect.

I want to sell, you know, all to myself.

with ample room and lots of privacy, well apart from the other cells, and I

would... Oh, yes, I must make arrangements for phone service.

Thank you very much.

Well, I know I shouldn't, but I feel sorry for her.

That's okay. I do, too.

You're going to your folks' house now, huh?

For a while.

I think we're gonna need some family around us.

Well, they're awful good people.

They'll help you through this.

Say, look, my weekend's off. Do you mind very much if I come over? Anytime you

like. You have an opening invitation.

Besides, little Greg could not be seeing his favorite Uncle Dom.

Hey, how are you?

Check it, check it, check it.

There he is. Hey!
