- There you go.

- Thank you.

- Here, let me help.

- No, that's all right. I know this routine.

- Cops after you, Andy?

- Sort of cops, yeah.

You snatch that little girl from her mother?

No, she's my daughter,

but her mother didn't set the cops on us.

Her mother's been dead for a year.

Don't appear like you got her

against her will.

What do they want you for,

anyway, Andy?

- Who are they?

- Government agents.

- FBI?

- No, The Shop.

The Shop?

Yeah, it's really the Department

of Scientific Intelligence. DSI.

My daughter, Charlene and I, Charlie,

we were part of an experiment

that happened a long time ago.

Tell me about it.

OK, now go ahead.

Thank you. Do you eat these chickens?

If I can catch one, I might eat one.

We eat the eggs.

They want to examine her and study her.

So they can figure out just what makes

her able to do what she can do.

I think they want to use her

to reactivate the Lot Six programme.

Andy, I think you ought to call the police.

Turn yourself in.

- Yeah, I know it sounds crazy.

- As crazy as anything I've ever heard.

Daddy, I fed the chic...

You told.

Daddy, why'd you tell?

They're coming. They're coming for us.

They're gonna kill you, Daddy. We have

to run, we have to hide, we have to...

Yes, yes, that's what they wanna do.

They wanna kill you.

Kill you like they did Mommy

and take me away. I won't let it happen.

Holy Jesus Christ. Did she do that?

Charlie, now, watch what you're doing.

Is it too late?

Yes, they're coming up the dirt road now.

Daddy, I'm scared.

Charlie, you can stop them.

If I do something bad,

will you still love me?

Oh, Charlie...

Of course I'll still love you.

I love you more than anything

in the world, no matter what happens.

I got some tall apologising to do.

There's a line of cars coming up the road.

I'll stand with you if you want.

I'll get my deer gun.

You don't need your gun.

Hi, Andy. Hi, Charlie.

- Honey, you don't have to run any more.

- Go away.

Afraid I can't do that, honey.

I have my orders.

No one wants to hurt you or your daddy.

You liar, you're supposed to kill him

and I know it.

I'd advise you do what my daughter says.

You know why she's wanted.

Remember the soldier at the airport?

You men are trespassing.

I want you to get off my property.

We're government agents, sir.

These two folks are wanted

for questioning. Nothing more.

I don't care if they're wanted

for assassination.

- Show me a warrant or get off my land.

- We don't need a warrant.

You do unless I woke up

in Russia this morning.

If you'll just get in the car,

we can discuss all this.

Honest to gosh,

there's nothing going on here.

- We know what's going on.
