The Children (1980) - full transcript

Woo-ooh, windy up here.

Everything's okay top side.

Did you find anything?

- No, I checked the intake and
the outflow down here.

Nothin'.

Ah, let's go back to
control room then.

Hey, are you shittin' me?

It's quittin' time.

- Yeah, but maybe there really
was a pressure drop.

- Yeah, and maybe they'll pay
us overtime, huh?

Hey, look, those fat asses got no
idea what's going on.



But if we go back in,

they're just gonna send us
back out here again.

You wanna do this again?

Not on my time.

Let's get a beer.

You buyin'?

Sure, I'm buyin'.

Good, I didn't have any money.

Let's get the hell outta here.

- Do you wanna go to
Manley's or Rosie's?

Rosie's.

Ah, you better get a new car.

- I swear, one these days
I'm gonna get a raise

from this damn company.

Anything else?

Not right now.

Sheriff?

Ma'am?

Can I call you Billy?

Yes, ma'am.

- Ah, well, Billy, could I ask you
a personal question?

You go right ahead.

- Well, you never know
till you ask,

right?

Go ahead.

- When are you
going to ask me out?

I'm dying for a ride in that
fabulous machine of yours.

Anytime, ma'am.

- Listen, why don't
you call me Sal or Sally

or divorced with two kids,

but Christ, drop this ma'am stuff.

Yes, ma'am, ah, Sal.

- So when do
I get my ride?

- When do- - I'm off
tonight at 10.

I'll see ya at 10.

Um, time I paid up, huh?

Oh, no, that's okay.

Just don't be late tonight.

- So, did you make
any big sales today?

- No, but it's
still pretty early.

- Well not many cars
have come by here

since the interstate opened.

No, but it's still pretty early.

We get a lotta cars.

They always- - God, the sheriff.

I'll be home tonight for suppa.

Well, is anybody at home?

No.

We're all alone then?

Yeah.

Dr. Gould.

Sorry to bother you.

Be quiet, Queen.

Quiet!

Is Miss Button at home?

Why?

I'd like to speak to her.

She's not feeling very well.

- Ah, has Tommy come home
from school yet?

No, why do you ask?

- Strange. I just ran up
on the school bus

about a 100 or so yards
before the entrance

to your place, and...

Queen! -Ah, Fred's not on it,

and none of the kids, so - Joyce?

- I thought maybe they'd
come down here.

Joyce?

Who's there?

Just the sheriff.

It's alright.

I'll be with you in a minute.

Headache?

Who's at the door?

Oh, it's just the sheriff.

He needs my help for few minutes.

Don't worry.

I want you to take

a couple of codeine.

And rest.

Is Tommy home?

Soon.

Okay, let's go, c'mon.

- I really don't
think it's anything

to be alarmed about.

- Yeah, I'd rather just take a
look for myself, though.

Sure.

It's strange.

They couldn't have
just disappeared.

Sheriff?

Sheriff?

These are Tommy's things.

- This everything he had
with him today?

I guess so.

Harry?

Harry, Sheriff Hart here.

Come in, Harry.

Dammit Harry, answer me.

Yeah, Billy.

- Are you still out at
the MacKenzie place?

Yes, sir.

But I was just about to come
into the office.

How long you been there?

How long have I been here?

Billy, I just been talkin'
for a few minutes.

- Dammit, Harry, just give me
some straight answers.

I don't wanna dock your pay.

Did you see the school
bus pass there?

No, sir.

- Did anything pass you on the way
out to the interstate?

What, you mean cars?

I mean anything, Harry.

A car, a station wagon, truck,
maybe?

No, nothin' gone by us here.

What's up, Billy?

I just found a school bus

about a hundred yards from
the Gould place.

Motor's still running but no
Fred and no kids.

- Is your brother home
from school yet?

Paul?

No, he isn't home yet.

- Well, now Sheriff, now
how could the bus

have gotten all the way down
to where you are

without us seein' it?

Harry? - Sheriff.

- Get out to the interstate,
set up a road block.

I don't want anything goin'
out of here

unless you check it,
you understand?

Yes, sir. - And nobody

comes in unless they live here.

I'll, I'll send a couple of
boys out to you

as soon as I can.

- Alright, Billy,
I'm on my way.

Bye.

Tommy?

Okay, at least the bus

is out of the middle of the road.

- I don't know where the
hell they could be.

It doesn't make a whole lot
of sense, you know?

I know.

Why don't I take you home?

No, that's alright, I'll Walk.

They'll turn up.

Try to be patient.

Easier said than done.

I just don't know how
Leslie's gonna take it

when she finds out
Tommy's missing.

Don't tell her.

That's one way to deal with it.

I'll be in touch.

Yeah, thanks.

Joyce?

Tommy?

Tommy?

Tommy?

Tommy?

Tommy?

Tommy?

Tommy?

Joyce.

Tommy.

Hank, those are skinny birds.

- Come on, Molly, it's a
beautiful bird.

Skinny little birds.

- Molly, if you want
'em any bigger,

you're gonna have to wait a
couple of months.

This is as big as they
are right now.

- Oh, I don't want... -
They're pretty near full

size. - Yeah, I suppose so.

Well, what are you gonna do?

Alright. - Howdy, Hank.

Frank.

Sheriff.

Sheriff.

- Boys, I need a
couple of deputies

for a roadblock out by
the interstate.

Ya interested?

Maybe.

Maybe.

$20.00 a day.

County'll pick up the tab.

- Oh, that sounds fine with us,
Sheriff.

That's okay with us, Sheriff.

Mm, must be somethin' big

if the county's payin' them
kind of wages, uh?

- Molly, you heard anything from
Fred this afternoon?

No, why?

- I ran across the school bus
about a mile outside of town

across from the cemetery.

Yeah?

- I can't find Fred or
any of the kids.

Ah, hell, Fred's not much more

than a kid himself, Sheriff.

Well, there ain't nothin'
to worry about.

I'll bet he took 'em to
the stone quarry.

Boys, better be on your way.

Harry Timmons is
already out there.

- We'll get on out to the
roadblock, Sheriff.

Billy,

how serious is this business?

Molly, I just don't know.

Hmm? - Found the bus

parked across the road.

Motor still runnin'. - Yeah?

Nobody on it.

- Well, damn, that's
not like Fred.

He wouldn't leave that
motor runnin'.

Yeah, I know.

My God.

I wonder why? - Hey, John.

Sergeant Preston.

Hey, John.

Molly, I need a can of ether.

Another can of ether, John?

Why don't you get a real mechanic

to tune up that car of yours?

I just got it out.

How come you're not hidin' by
the side of the road?

Not the day for it.

Kids go to school today?

- Here, John - Boy,
things must

really be slow around here, huh,
Molly?

No, really.

Well, Johnny did.

Clarkie?

- Well, Clarkie's
home with a cold.

Why?

What's up?

Fred?

Ah, that ole fart.

- Listen, if you've got a
couple of minutes,

why don't you come out with me,

we'll take a look around. - Well,
I gotta go out

to Cathy, let her know about it.

See, I don't want her to
worry about it.

- Okay, I'll stop by the
Miss Shore's place

and then go over to
the Chandler's.

I'll pick you up at your place
in what, 10 minutes?

- Yeah, about 10 minutes
should be alright.

Okay, he)',

tell Cathy not to worry, huh?

Yeah, Cathy'll be alright.

Piece of shit haul.

Fred, do you hear me?

Fred?

Answer me this second.

Miss Shore?

Anybody home?

Miss Shore?

Miss Shore?

- Sheriff Hart,
how nice.

Is Janet at home?

- Isn't she a little young
for you, Sheriff?

She's only nine.

Miss Shore, please.

- I really haven't
the faintest idea.

Jack, darling, have you seen Janet
lurking around the house?

No, sweet.

- She's always lurking
around the house.

- I don't wanna alarm you about
your daughter, Miss Shore.

I discovered the school bus
out by the cemetery.

None of the children were on it.

Neither was Fred Mansfield,
the driver.

- Mansfield's a bit senile,
if you ask me.

He probably took them on an
impromptu picnic or something.

- Did Janet say anything about a
picnic this mornin'?

- I really haven't the
faintest idea.

I never rise before 10.

Not now, love.

Exactly what are you trying to
tell us, Sheriff?

That Janet is missing.

Along with all the other
children of Ravensback.

- You don't think
they've been kidnapped, do you?

I don't know what to think.

Ah, a kidnapping in Ravensback.

Oh, Jack, how exciting.

- This is a, this is a lovely
piece, Miss Shore.

- Why Sheriff, I didn't
know you were into art.

Jack and I brought that back
from Rome last year,

didn't we, darling?

Call me if Janet shows up.

Goddamn.

Oh, yeah.

- What's the trouble? -
What's the trouble?

It's the damn carb again.

Oh.

Here, let me have a try.

Oh, sure.

Try it.

I gotta get home.

- Hell, why don't I
give you a lift?

I just have to stop by
the Chandler's.

Oh, shit. - Talkin' about?

It won't take but a minute.

Oh, yeah.

Here, I'll push ya off.

Oh, oh.

Mommy.

Ellen.

Daddy.

Harry?

I can't.

- You mean I rode all
the way down here

to see you and you
won't even kiss me?

I can't.

- Think he won't kiss her? - Yeah,
I'll kiss her.

Come on, Harry, kiss me.

- Do you wanna kiss her first?
- Your boy is gonna

Not now. - kiss her.

- Whole lotta nerve as
far as I'm concerned.

Later.

Well, then I'm going home.

- Look at that hair. - You
look at the hair.

- I'm lookin' at the hair. - Yeah,
I'm not lookin' it.

She got pretty hair. - Ooh.

Goodbye, Harry.

I can't now, I'm working.

Goodbye, Harry.

Kiss me, Harry.

I'm goin' home, Harry.

Bye, Harry.

- Harry, you get into that
sweet little thing yet?

Hey, come on.

Tell the truth, Harry.

Will you guys give me a break?

- I'll bet he'd settle
for a hand job,

right Harry? - Go on, Hank.

Tell us, Harry.

Yeah, tell us, Harry.

- Tell us, Harry. - Tell us,
Harry.

I don't do things like that.

Well, we'll do it for ya.

Right Hank?

- Right, we'll do it for ya,
Harry.

- I bet you would. - You're
damn right we would.

Now, what the hell?

Howdy.

What's the problem?

- I'm sorry,
but I'm afraid

I can't let anybody in.

- Perhaps you could tell me
what the problem is?

No, sir.

- I take it you don't
know who I am?

No, sir.

And nobody who doesn't live in
Ravensback is allowed in.

Orders.

- Apparently you're new
here in Ravensbank.

I'm Sanford Butler-Jones.

You do know who Dee Dee Shore is?

Yes, sir.

- Why don't you just
ring Dee Dee up,

and I'm sure everything
will be cool.

Well, I don't know her number.

Who is this guy?

- I don't know, some,
looks like a pimp.

Hello, Dee Dee?

Hi, darling.

Listen, I'm sorry we're late,

but we've been detained by a
little misunderstanding

here in town.

An encounter with a policeman.

Would you, darling?

Well, thanks a lot.

We'll be right along.

Miss Shore.

Yes, ma'am.

God, I'd like to hump that

bitch. - Yes, ma'am.

Well, you'd have to be on - Yes,

your own. - Ma'am, but the sheriff

I'd take her on my own.

Yes, ma'am.

Well, if you say so, ma'am.

Goodbye.

I guess you can go through.

She acts like she wants to die.

Get around her, now.

Mrs. Peterson?

Mrs. Peterson, I've
got your apples.

Oh.

Mrs. Peterson?

Creep, look what you did.

What's a matter with you, Paul?

Cut it out.

What's a matter with you, Paul?

Stop it.

I said to stop it.

What's a matter with you, Paul?

Cut it out.

Stop it.

Suzie?

Suzie?

Paul, by God!

Daddy.

Daddy.

- Well,
there's Cathy's car.

It looks like she's home.

Hey, give her my love, huh?

- Well, you're coming in,
aren't you?

- Yeah, I better get out
to the roadblock.

See how Harry's doin' out there.

Oh, I'd like you to come in.

Cathy will feel a lot
better if you did.

Alright. - Excellent.

- Harry, Harry,
this is the sheriff.

I'll be a few minutes.

I'm over at the Freemont house.

Cathy?

Anybody home?

Daddy.

Oh.

How you doin', slugger?

Mommy's mad at you.

Oh, she is, is she?

Well, we're just gonna have to
try to deal with her.

Where is she?

She's in the studio.

Oh, well let's go find her then.

Cathy?

Cathy?

'Hmm?

Where have you been?

Daddy, where's Jenny?

Honey, Billy Hart's outside.

- Clarkie, would you
go on upstairs,

brush your teeth and get
ready for bed.

I wanna see the sheriff.

Now, please.

Go on, son.

You'll see him as soon as
you're finished.

Oh, darn.

I tried calling you.

That damn wagon broke down again,

and Billy had to give me a lift.

It's okay.

Is Jennifer with you?

No.

- She was supposed to come
directly home after school.

I was gonna work on her
portrait this afternoon.

- Honey, we don't know where any
of the Ravensback kids are.

What are you talking about?

I passed the bus

on my way home from the doctors.

Were the kids on it?

Of course they were on it.

It's just that

Billy found the bus near
the old cemetery.

Empty-

Empty?

John?

Hi, Cathy. - John just told me

you found an empty school bus.

Sorry.

- Well, we're gonna find
them safe and sound.

Huh, Billy? - Whoopee!

Hey, hi.

Hi, Sheriff.

- Clarkie, Clarkie,
it's your bedtime.

No.

- Now he can stay up
for awhile, huh?

How 'bout that?

- Okay.
- Okay.

Look, is anybody hungry?

I did cook a pot roast for dinner.

No, ma'am. - No, honey.

I am.

You are?

Well alright, let's go feed you.

Alright. - Come on, champ.

Follow me to the kitchen. - Up,
UP, YUP-

Where?

He found 'em?

He's over at the Gould place.

They're over at the Gould place.

Oh, thank God.

You gonna be alright?

We'll be fine.

He's dead.

Oh, man.

You wanna stay here?

Wait a minute, Bill.

How the hell could that have

I don't know.

But I'm goddamn sure

C'mon.

Gotta hurry.

- The lights aren't
on in the house.

Why is it dark?

Wait here.

Watch it.

They got a doberman in there
that's a real maneater.

It's locked.

Dr. Gould?

Miss Button?

Hello, hello in there?

They gotta be in there.

Try the kitchen door.

Boy, that one over there? - Yes.

It's open. - Oh, whoa, whoa.

I'm not goin' in there
with that dog.

They must have him locked up.

He would have been barking by now.

She, you mean, she.

She, whatever.

I don't think there's a
dog in there.

Watch your step.

Whoa, whoa, whoa.

Look for a light.

It's not in...

Now hold on.

Dr. Gould?

Miss Button?

Hello?

Looks like they're in bed.

Nobody.

Oh. - Whatever did this, Billy,

Goddammit, the phone's dead.

Billy,

Bullseye, Billy.

You just shot a dead dog.

Let's get outta here.

I'm gonna get some help fast.

Molly?

Open up, Molly, it's Sheriff Hart.

Alright.

Alright, Sheriff, keep
your pants zipped.

Nelly's in the barn.

Oh, are the children safe?

Huh, what about my Fred?

Where is that ole coot?

Goddammit, the line's dead.

Tell me, man.

Did ya find 'em?

Harry Timmons is dead.

Oh. - So is Leslie Button.

anything like it.

They were burnt.

Mutilated. - Oh, my...

It was horrible. - God.

- I'm gonna take this 12
gauge shotgun, Molly.

Oh. - I'm gonna need

a couple boxes of shells.

But the children?

Fred? - Not a sign of 'em.

I can't figure it.

Get me home, Billy.

Now.

Oh. - I better take

No!

They're only children.

Oh, my God.

Cathy, what have you done?

- The children, have you
both gone mad?

He was shooting the children.

- Cathy, who do you think
did this to my hand?

Jenny.

No. - It was Jenny.

_ No!

Yes.

Oh, goddammit, yes!

Billy?

Oh, Cathy.

Hi ya, Paul.

What are you doing here?

You're it, Paul.

Clarkie!

Oh, no.

Please.

Please.

No.

No.

No. - Cathy.

Cathy, don't!

No,
please.

Please.

Don't.

He's dead.

Clarkie's dead.

I saw him.

In the, in the bedroom.

Clarkie's dead.

Oh, God.

I'm sorry, Billy.

I didn't mean to hurt you.

Oh, Cathy, I'm alright.

Billy, Clarkie's dead.

My God.

What do we do now?

Wait for 'em to pick us
off one at a time?

They don't bleed.

It's hands.

God, if they get those
hands on you.

Bullets have no effect on them.

John, we've got to cut
off their hands.

That's where they're vulnerable.

Where's Jenny?

She's one of them, Cathy.

No, Jenny's our daughter.

She was our daughter.

She still is for me.

You forget what she did to me?

John, John, take it easy, John.

The best thing we can do
right now is wait.

Wait? - Maybe it'll all pass.

What, what, whatever's
happened to the children.

May, maybe it'll go away.

What are you saying, Billy?

Maybe...

John, please.

Jenny's our only daughter.

She's a thing, Cathy.

Listen to me.

She's become one of them.

Just like that thing in
the other room

that would have killed you.

- I would rather be dead
than lose Jenny.

- No, no, no, no, don't say that,
Cathy.

No, no, no. - John,

- Don't say it, don't say it.
- hold me.

Don't, don't say

anything like that. - Oh, John.

No, no, no.

- It's alright. -
Hold me.

- John, the sword, the thing,
get the sword!

The Chandler girl.

That makes two of them.

Alright, let's get 'em all.

Look the door behind us, Cathy.

You hear me?

Door, lock the door.

Billy, the ax. - I got it.

Be real careful.

They could be anywhere.

That door locked?

No.

Better check.

up or down?

I'll stay up.

Alright, I'll stay up here.

- Ow,
goddammit.

Anything?

No, nothing.

How about the outhouse?

- They'll never be able
to get into it.

Sure?

It's all boarded up, Billy.

Okay, let's go.

Be careful, huh?

God.

John, there they are.

They're all headed for the barn.

We've got 'em now.

Daddy?

Daddy?

John, don't listen to her.

John!

Sheriff Hart of Ravensback.

Is anybody out there?

Can anybody hear me?

John?

Cathy?

It's the baby.

What?

You have to help me now.

Ah, okay.

Okay.

Okay, come here.

Just take it easy now.

Here we go, it's okay.

Easy. - Uh-huh.

Yes, baby.

Yeah.

How soon do you think?

Real soon.

John, listen to me,

and we're gonna need a
lot of towels

and sterilize a knife
to cut the cord.

Go on, it's okay.

I'm alright.

John, dear, John? - Yeah,

Cathy?

Not much farther.

doing terrific.

Okay, the next push, now, next...

Okay, here it comes, Okay.

Oh, easy, easy, hon, push, push.
