What's with the volume?

What?

A guy can't wake up happy?

You're being pretty obvious.

Just buy a shirt that says,
"I got laid" on it,

so you can wear it on mornings like this.

They make those?

Hey, hey, hey,

you're not allowed to smile either.
You're being obvious.

And so what if I'm obvious?



You're single. I'm single.

We see each other every
day. It's only natural.

I know. I know.
I'm fine with it.

I'm just not sure if
Dr. Kiefer would be.

Oh my God!

You okay?

Yeah. I guess.

Just a little dizzy.

Holy shit.

Hey, are you all right?

Are you hurt?

I don't know.

Come with us. We're going
to a clinic right now.

We'll check you out, and
make sure you're okay.



Can you tell me your name, sweetie?

Angelique.

We're gonna help you, Angelique.

You get in the car.

Okay.

She seems really out of it.
I think she's just in shock.

We'll make sure.

Doug! Go get Dr.
Kiefer for us, now!

And bring a wheelchair!

Look, I can take you someplace else,
if it's really that big a problem.

No, it's not that. It's just..

I'm really happy you guys
found me when you did.

Come on!
Dr. Kiefer's coming.

Good. Here.
Lemme help you.

Thanks.

Don't let him in!

Hey, Kiernan! Heads up!

Great. What the fuck is he doing here?

Get her inside. We'll take care of this.

What's going on?

Trouble in the parking lot.

Do I even need to ask who it is?

Who's your favorite?

He's violating his court
order. You know that.

We were just talking about that.

And? What are you doing about it?

We closed the gate.

And?

Fine.

Hold on just a minute.

Dwayne?

Dwayne, I just wanna talk to you.

Just put your window down, okay?

The doctor will be in soon, okay?

Just after he finishes
talking to my daddy, I guess.

Your daddy?

Yeah. That was his van.

Holy shit.

Just put your window down, okay?

Dwayne.

Dwayne, you know you're not supposed
to be this close to the property.

You got my little girl in there.

Dwayne Burcell is your father?

Oh, fuck, no. Are you kidding?

Does Dr. O'shea know about this?

There's obviously been some
sort of misunderstanding, Dwayne.

Oh, yeah. There has.

Now how's about you go get
my little girl, right now.

Can you give me a minute?

Yeah. A minute. Go.

What're we gonna do about this?

Doc, do you know anything about
Dwayne's daughter being a patient here?

Tell him he can call
to discuss that later,

but he can't be within
500 yards of the gate.

He seems pretty sure she's in there.

And I'm pretty sure he's gonna go to
jail if he doesn't move that goddam van.

There seems to be some
soft of confusion about

whether she is or isn't
in there right now.

Aw, man. I just saw her go
right through that door.

She's in there!

But before we can sort anything out,

you have to back off. 500 yards.

I'll go inside and check on her.

But you have to back up.

You got 15 minutes.

What's your last name?

Alex. Listen Burcell.

Why wouldn't you mention that?

Okay. Great.

Uh, we need to do this quickly.

Can you stand up, please?

And take off your sweater for me?

Okay.

It's okay.

We're gonna help you.

I know you are.

God brought you to me this morning.

Well, I don't know about that.

I do.

He wants you to help me.

God wants you to kill my baby.

Excuse me?

We had an appointment.

But I guess that doesn't
mean a goddam thing.

An emergency came up, sir.

We will get to you,
as soon as we can.

Yeah? Well, it's piss-poor.

That's what it is.

We're all waiting, sir.

It's just that some of us manage not to
be giant assholes while we're doing it.

Daddy, you're embarrassing me.

I'm embarrassing you.

Hear that, Marie?

Hoo-hoo, boy. That is rich.

I think we need to get her a psych consult

- before we let her go home.
- Why?

Because God spoke to her?

You know, for a lot of Americans, that's
a badge of honor, not a cause for concern.

Yeah? Well, a lot of Americans
believe in alien abductions too.

Have you given her a full exam yet?

No.

I'm not touching Dwayne
Burcell's daughter.

He would kill me.

No. First he would follow me to my home,

or to a restaurant,
or to a gas station.

Then he would kill me.

Look, I am not asking
you to do the abortion.

Just check her out.

If you examine her,

and you think we need to call
in a psych consult, we will.

All right.

But quick.

How old are you, Angelique?

18.

You're sure about that?

I.. I will be.

In how many years?
Three.

That's what I thought. Look,

the only way I can help you is
if you're totally honest with me.

Have you ever been pregnant before?

No...

Are you sexually active?

Look, can you just tell me what happened?

Please don't make me say.

I won't judge you.

And you won't shock me.

I just -- I wanna help you.

Now please, tell me what happened.

It was late.

I was home by myself, and..

Daddy was at work.

The.. The boys were out.

I was supposed to be reading
Moby Dick for English class,

but I tried, and I just...
It just made me tired.

So I was eating ice cream,
and listening to records.

And when was this? How long ago?

It was last Saturday.

No. Angelique,

I need you to tell me about
when you got pregnant.

Yeah. Last Saturday.

It couldn't have been last Saturday.

Yes. It was.

You're confused.

No. I'm not!

Okay. Calm down.

You're not gonna believe me, so
what does it matter what happens?

I want an abortion.

Just.. Please, just do it
and get it over with!

Give me good news.

Honest opinion?

This girl was raped.

And she's had a disassociative
break with reality.

She's determined she wants
us to terminate the pregnancy.

Who raped her?

She won't say. Or.. She can't.

She's blocked it out.
But come on.

I mean, she was running from
someone when we picked her up.

And 10 minutes later,
her father shows up.

Who do you think it was?

That's a hell of an accusation.

You can't send her out to
him if you're not sure.

Burcell isn't gonna like this.

I don't give a damn what Burcell likes.

Our obligation is to that girl.

And you agree with him?

She's scared.

She's traumatized.

All right.

But before you give her the ultrasound,
go and talk to Dwayne and calm him down.

And keep me updated.
Okay.

Dr. O'shea's on his way out.
He wants to talk to you.

Well, unless he's gonna tell me
my daughter's on her way out,

we don't have a blessed
thing to talk about.

Well, I guess we don't have a
blessed thing to talk about, then.

I gave you people 15 minutes.

And we really appreciate that.

There's a couple more things we need to
do to insure your daughter's well-being.

That is what's most important
to you. Right, Dwayne?

The only thing you can do
to insure my daughter's

well-being is to let her out
of that damn slaughterhouse,

and I'm not playin' around.

Neither am I.

And you're not supposed to be
this close to the building.

I suggest you back out of here
until we're done with the tests.

I'm sure you doctors got lots of plans.

In fact, I can only imagine
what you want to do to her.

We got a little problem, though, see.

The problem is, my
daughter's 15 years old.

And as much as that must frustrate you,

that doesn't make it your
choice. It makes it mine.

And what I want is for you to
get her out of here, right now.

Lord knows what sinful things
you already done to her.

Calm down.

We haven't done anything.

We're just lookin' her over,
makin' sure she's okay.

While I'm locked out here.

You think that's right?

You know why you can't come in.

If you weren't such a threat to safety--

The only thing I'm a threat to

is people profiting off of murder.

I know what this place is,
and I'm not afraid to say so,

and that's why you consider me a threat?

It's because I call you out
for the murderers you are.

I can't let you in, and
that's all there is to it.

And we're not ready to
discharge Angelique yet.

I don't know what
else to tell you, Dwayne.

Well, then we got a
little bit of a problem.

And you call me Mr. Burcell
from here on out,

you snapped-off little shit.

Let me ask you something,

Dwayne.

Man to man.

The baby.

It's yours, isn't it?

Oh, I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

Is that a secret?

Anything happens to that baby, I'm
gonna take you to hell personally!

Just gonna do it now?

No. This isn't the procedure.

First, we need to see
what's going on in there.

Does it hurt?

No. It's just like taking a picture.

Okay...

God, that hurts!

I'm sorry. I'm not sure what that was.

I can feel it moving.

That's good. An active
baby is a healthy baby.

Ow, God, please!

Stop! Stop.

I... I... Something's wrong.

Please just leave it alone!

Okay, Angelique?

Listen. You just relax now.

We'll be right back.

We gotta keep her here.

And I think we need to do what she wants.

This girl needs help.

Darry!

You got your work belt in the back?

Yeah.

We got this van outside this fence.

Can you get up that pole
and cut their phone line?

Yeah. I think so.
All right.

Cole, I want you to move the van.

You put it anywhere Darry
tells you to, all right?

Daddy?

Once we get inside,
wh-what are you gonna do?

Not sure yet.

I don't wanna hurt nobody.

Well, I don't wanna, either. But
that's your sister they got in there.

Yes, sir.

I'm gonna pray on this.

I've given you something
to help you settle.

If you're feeling uncomfortable,
just let me know,

and I'll give you some more.

Protect the baby.

I will.

Whatever it takes.

We'll drive around front.

One way or another, we
gotta get that gate open.

I'll do what I can.

He's soft, daddy. He's worried.

He thinks you're gonna get us in trouble.

We're way past worrying
about trouble, boys.

God requires us to take action.

We have been called.

To do what?

Protect the baby.

Dwayne, she's not ready to come out yet.

Look. There's something wrong.

Dwayne, we got a problem.

Course we do.

I'll take care of it.

No, you won't.

You just..

Gimme more lies,
buy them some more time.

Keep me out here.

Dr. Kiefer is the only one that can..

Take care of this.

Look.

I got no problems with you.

Just open the gate, and stand down.

I can't do that.

Boy, I really wish you would.

Hey! Stop right there!

No! Don't!

Open the gate, Darry.

What did you do?

God's will.

Noise doesn't matter,
boys. Speed does.

Get us into that guard shack.

Shit.

Those were gunshots.

It's Dwayne Burcell, isn't it?

He's finally done it.

This is because of his daughter, isn't it?

Get everyone back to the exam bay now.

You and Joan stay back there, too.

Hey, look. Whatever is going on here
has nothing to do with my family.

We're gonna leave.

Oh, really?

You wanna go out there right now?

Right. Like I said, get
to the exam bay now.

Looks like God's not the only one
who intends to test us today, boys.

Let's see if we can
find another way in here.

We should get her in the procedure
room, so we can protect her,

and keep everyone else out of this.

Honey, we're gonna move you.

Sorry about my daddy.

Don't think about it.
Here, let me help you.

Oh my God.

There is no rational medical
explanation for what's happening to her.

I told you I wasn't confused.
You did,

and I didn't listen. I'm sorry.

You said I was lying.

Well, I'm just trying to
understand what's happening.

I don't know why I
went into the backyard.

It was a warm night, and
I just.. Just wanted some air.

It was late.

I was home by myself, and..

I was worried whether or not we were
going to have a pop quiz in algebra.

We live pretty far out of town,
so you.. You can see the stars.

I was just starin' at them.

And that's when things
started to get weird.

I couldn't even hear the sound, at first.

But, I mean,I.. I wasn't
really paying attention.

What sound? What..
What did you hear?

It was like..

It was like thunder.

But it wasn't coming from the sky.

It was coming from the ground.

And then it just..
It just pulled me under.

Into that hole.

I couldn't breathe.

And I.. And then when I closed my eyes,

it just.. It just burned.

It was.. All around me.

And pushing up into me.

It just.. It just treated
me like a rag doll.

It just.. Tore up, and then..

I.. I don't know. And
then it was just gone.

Whatever it was,

it wasn't human.

Never seen an animal like that.

It was a demon.

It was a demon from hell.

Now you know why I can't
have this baby, right?

I mean, whatever's inside of me,

it's.. It's evil.

There's no other way in.

All right. Let's get to work, boys.

Get us in that front door.

Come on, Darry.

No, daddy. I ain't goin'.

It had to be done, boy.

That's why you don't
want me in there with you.

I don't have it in me,
even if it has to be done.

All right.

You wait for us here.

But if anybody tries to get out,
or get the cops, you gotta stop 'em.

All right. We go in fast,
and we find Angelique.

As long as no one tries to stop
us or hurt her, we do no harm.

But they will not stop us.

We cannot let your sister down.

They cannot hurt that baby.

No! No no no.

I'm not gonna be afraid again.

I'm not gonna let them control me.

What's going on?

We can't abort.

You have to have it.

You said you'd help me!
I know I did!

But that was before you lied to me!

I never lied to you.

We can't do it now.

You're in labor.

You'd die, or the baby, or both.

Oh, God!

Angelique! No!
You said you'd help me!

Angelique!
Help me!

Dr. Kiefer?

Try to see things my way for one moment.

My little girl..

I would do anything to help her.

My kids are my heart.

But what you do here..

That's not help!

That kind of help,
she don't need!

Put the scalpel down.

We're trying to help you.

I can't have this baby! It's evil!

If you don't kill it, I will.

I swear to God I will!

No! You'll kill yourself!

Listen to me no!

Just don't let it live!

She won't be out for long.

Don't let it live..

Now we will leave here,

and no one will get hurt.

As long as you give me
back my little girl.

Whaddaya say, doc?
You still there?

He's all the way down the hall.

Where you goin', doc?

Did you murder our guard, Dwayne?

You people are big on choice here, right?

You all choose to be here.

Long as you choose to hold my daughter,

illegally,

you choose this.

We shouldn't be in the middle of this.

We should go for our car,
get the hell out of here.

I thought this was so important, you
said this couldn't wait one more day.

You know, I don't think you're
seeing the whole picture.

They're shooting out there, and it's your...

Fault that we're in here
in the first place,

so shut the fuck up!

What the hell's wrong with you?

Your daughter's pregnant.

And you raise your hand to her?

Shame on you.

Any better?
She's still not dilated at all.

And this thing's getting huge.

So, what? C-section?

No, don't. Just kill it, please.

I'm sorry. You have to have it.

We don't have a choice now.

I don't wanna have this baby.
Please don't make me.

Forget the epidural.

Give her more sedation,
and get some local.

Sam, stay away from there.

Shooting stopped.
Maybe they left.

Maybe they're just reloading.

Shut up!

Let's go get our little girl.

Don't make me hurt you, doc.

Just come on in here,
we'll see who gets hurt.

You surprise me.

Man of medicine,
with all those guns.

Almost as if you were expecting trouble.

Almost.. As if you knew you deserved it.

Ah, well.. You don't surprise me at all.

You're just a bully, trying to
pervert God's name to justify murder.

You don't know the first
thing about God, or what he wants.

You don't believe in anything.
Sure I do.

Just not what you believe in.

You're dead, doc!

I'm gonna take you to hell!

It burns!

She's dilated 4 or 5 centimeters.

I don't wanna do a c-section
unless we absolutely have to.

Maybe we can wait a few more minutes.

My eyes!

Oh, I.. I can't see!

I can't see!

I can't see..

Oh God!

It's coming!

Oh God! It burns!

It's coming!

You go in low.

Oh my God, it burns.

What was that?
What's happening?

Guess that was your gun hand, huh?

Looks pretty useless, now.

Does that hurt?

Is that the hand you used to kill my boy?

Get that turtle shell off.

Go ahead.

Get it over with. Do
what you came for. Kill me.

I'm not gonna kill you.

I got something much better in mind.

Unbelievable.

Every room in this
slaughterhouse is set up

for you to apply your trade,
even your damn office.

The entire history of children's genocide,
laid out under glass. Imagine that.

A sentimental abortionist.

Clear off that desk, boy!

What are you doing?

Same thing as you do every day.

You kill babies, and then you dress it up
in fancy terms, so you can sleep at night.

You murder, for money.

And the you pass it off as medicine.

Strip him.

Stop. Let go of me.

It's here!

I can feel it coming!

Oh, it's here!

One of the things that..

Separates us from the animals is empathy.

Puttin' yourself in
somebody else's place.

Feelin' what they feel.

No. No...

When I think of what it must be
like for a girl to walk in here..

well,

let's see how you like it.

Look. This is crazy.

You.. You can't do this.

This is insane. Please..

Now I'm not a doctor, but, uh..

I have read enough about what you do
that I think I understand the basics.

You use these things
to stretch her out, right?

Oh my god, no..

That's -- That's enough of this. Come on.

Move!

Don't look. Just keep going!

Come on.

Hey, you stop right there!

Can't believe anyone every used
this on another human being.

I can see why you picked this kind
of work over being a real doctor.

This is easy.

You mess up, kid's already dead.

Who cares?

Get in the car. Go!

Mister, you can't leave!

You tell 'em to stop that!

Look, we don't have
anything to do with this.

That's not the point!
You can't leave!

My daughter.
She's still pregnant.

She didn't have any procedure!

She's innocent!

Look, you don't wanna kill
an innocent person, do ya?

You better stop right there.

Nobody has to know that
we were even here.

I won't tell anybody.

- I won't...
- I don't believe you!

I promise!

God damn!

Oh my God...

You fuckin' killed me...

Oh, it's here!

I can feel it!

It's here..

Oh God!

Oh.. Oh my God.

Are we safe in here?

Beats the shit outta me.

He's here...

What's happening?

What are you doing?

Get away from there!

It's all dark, daddy.

I ain't never seen nothin' like that.

- What we did--
- Was God's will.

I told you.

He spoke to me.

I know...

We just gotta find your sister now.

Oh, no...

Oh, no no no no.

Oh God, please don't take my little girl.

I'm sorry she let these
monsters touch her, but..

She's so young.

She was afraid.

Please don't punish her, God.

Please don't take my little girl.

Daddy? You in here?

Daddy?

Darry.

It's a miracle.

You came in here to have an
abortion, and the lord intervened.

She had the baby.

Ain't possible.

That can't be her baby.

'Course it is.

Then what's it doing on the floor?

And look at all the blood, daddy!

Where are the other doctors?

Worry about that later.

Right now, we have to help the baby.

Please, daddy. Let's go.

What's that?

It doesn't matter.

Find the baby.

What the hell is that?

Sorry, daddy. I can't do this any more.

He's here.

What's that, honey?

He's here.

The father of my baby is here.

What are you talkin' about?

This doesn't make any sense.

We did everything you asked.

Why punish us?

Why take all my boys?

Why make that

that thing?

You told me to protect the baby!

Protect the baby.

It was you.

Come here, baby.

Come to mommy.

It's all right.
Don't be scared.

Please come here.
Please.

Please.

Come here.

That's it.

That's it!

Don't be afraid.

It's okay.

Time to sleep.

Angelique.

Are you okay?

God's will is done.
