No Escape Page #5

Come on. Excuse me.

Quiet, please. Quiet.

Will you be quiet!

All right! Okay!

Here we go.

Yeah, baby!

Thank you.

A lovely tree.

Oh, what fun it is to ride

in a one-horse open sleigh

Jingle bells, jingle bells

Jingle all the way

Oh, what fun it is to ride...

Want to go caroling?

On a one-horse open sleigh...

Uncle Stephano shopped till he dropped,

and he has a present for one and all.

These little suckers.

All right!

These little morsels of technology

beat the odds, washed up here...

and they're as good as they were

the day they came off the assembly line.

Gentlemen, let me demonstrate.

Gentlemen...

come and get 'em!

Look. For the long, cold nights ahead.

I won't be needing it.

Thank you.

Turn it down!

Another year is past.

The first for some.

For others, just one more.

No path to the island

is ever the same...

but we all share something...

something that cannot

be taken away from us.

We have proved to ourselves...

that we cannot be written off...

that our lives mean something.

We are not animals.

We are human beings.

That's our reprieve.

That's our pardon.

That's our freedom.

- Merry Christmas, everyone.

- Merry Christmas!

Now I have a toast.

To all our victims.

May they rest in peace.

So you're leaving us?

At daybreak.

How far do you think you'll get?

I don't know.

I'll figure something out.

Look, I don't have all the answers,

but at least here you can have help.

You can have purpose.

You can even have friends.

Most people would call that a life.

I don't want a life

with you people.

What made you like this?

Robbins, we're all guilty

in someone's eyes.

Especially so in our own.

Maybe you can't forgive yourself yet,

but eventually you have to...

or you won't survive.

Good luck, Mr. Robbins.

Hey! What's going on?

A signal fire on the ridge.

The Outsiders are going to attack.

Let's go! Come on, move it!

- What happened?

- Somebody tipped them off.

Doesn't matter.

We stick with the plan.

- What do you want?

- Will you stand with me on the wall?

Get out!

Hawkins, there was a signal?

We have a spy in the Outsiders' camp.

Been there for over a year.

Robbins, do you believe that there's

a god up there who's looking out for us?

There's something up there.

It sure as hell isn't God.

Sir, a strike force in Sector Four.

They're at the village perimeter.

What the hell are they waiting for?

Down! Get down!

- It's started.

- Any major thermal activity?

No. Just a minor signature.

Nothing that'll show up on a satellite.

You're sure?

It'll take more heat than that

for someone to investigate.

- Choppers on ready alert, sir?

- No. Let 'em fight it out.
