Knowing about things

before they really happen?

[bell rings]

The lunch bell.

We have to go.

Excuse me.

Those two children

that just left.

I've been trying

to think of their names.

Tony Malone and his sister, Tia.

A couple of weirdos.

[harmonica music]

Suppose somebody else

had walked in?

Everybody knocks.

Pine woods' rules.

Look.

[Tony] must've happened when

Winky knocked it out of

truck's hands.

[Tia] can you fix it?

It's a map,

isn't it?

[Tony] "stony creek?"

[Tia] "misty valley?"

That's funny, Tia.

But every once and a while

you get that look on your face.

Like you're

remembering something.

I kind of do,

but then I forget again.

It's not someplace big,

like a state or a country.

But more like a road map.

I just don't know where.

When I can figure out where

this place is, we'll go there.

Tony, what were

you drawing?

It's the place

where those dogs are.

[distant dogs barking]

They're barking now.

Yeah, I know. I was listening to

them before you butted in.

I began to

visualize this castle...

Tony, you can only visualize

places we know something about.

[barking continues]

Or places we're gonna be at.

I must've been drawing

someplace we're going to.

[Tia] soon, Tony.

We're going there soon

and I'm afraid.

[harmonica music]

[loud barking]

Since the Malones lived

in a very small village,

I had little difficulty finding

people who knew the children.

These insights,

these sixth sense incidents...

...The postman,

the schoolteacher,

The woman who

lost her parakeet,

How do I know these aren't

the result of your desperation?

Figments of your

very fine imagination?

I have sworn affidavits.

People lie very easily. The very

young can deceive the very wise.

I'm not lying.

If I'm in any way disappointed

in this Tony and Tia,

You are through here, Deranian.

Yes. I understand.

Then bring them here.

You say they have no family.

Well, now they do.

You are their family,

Deranian.

You are their uncle,

do you understand?

Perfectly.

Alter records. Forge documents.

Provide proper papers.

Whatever it takes.

I will back you with

every means at my disposal.

Just bring me the children.

[Mrs. Grindley]

I think there's no question,

Considering these documents

your uncle has produced,

That he has

custody of you.

The judge signed

those papers just today.

Mr. Deranian...

Uncle Lucas, Tony.

Better get used to it.

Uncle Lucas, did you tell

Mrs. Grindley about the

first time we ever saw you?

Yes, he did.

The day the tow truck

ran into your uncle's car.

That was a lucky day

for all of us.

You see, Tia, you bear such

a remarkable resemblance to

Mr. Deranian's sister

That he's convinced
