Gustav. What is it? Gustav. What's wrong? Gustav! What's wrong? He should be here! He was meant to be here! It's that idiot Rahul, why I'll kill that drunken fool, that he dare take this child, a child that isn't his. Mr. Squelch? Sir? Seal the port, blockade each road, call in every favor that I'm owed. I'll be damned if he leaves this isle! The V-condition he left here, in a carriage, sore with my own eyes, sir. There was no one with him. Are you quite certain he left here alone? Sir, was there anyone else here backstage? Yes. Yes. Madame Shearing, she was here, with a vicious little sneer, and that comment she made, the ungrateful, back-biting snake, she's been grievous indeed, she'll get hers now, guaranteed! Go now quickly, bring her round, bring the boy back safe and sound, then I'll tear her limb from limb! What is the meaning of this? How dare your minions manhandle me in this fashion? I demand an answer. The boy, woman! What have you done with him? The boy? You think I took the boy? Why would I do such a thing? Do you think I don't know who he is? All these years, who has been faithful more than I? No one! Shearing! All these years, how can you think I'd hurt that child? Patience is running dry! All these years, I've been mother to you and Christine, as much as my daughter! Enough! Do you think I don't know how it hurts to see one's own child brought to a home? Gustav! Gustav! Gustav! Sir, I just passed Meg's dressing room, it was empty as a tomb, but her mirror was smashed all in pieces on the floor. Meg! Oh my God! Then I saw her down the hall pulling someone pale and small, and she looked all about and then scurried out the door. God, I left her so distraught, least who knows just what she thought. I'm afraid she's come undone, but she won't hurt him. Meg would never hurt him. How could she hurt him? I know where they've gone, but we must hurry! In that crowd? There are millions of people out there! Gustav! My poor Gustav! There's no time to waste! Gustav! Gustav! Gustav! Gustav! It's you there! Stop! That's not him! Meg! I think I see them! This way! Gustav, is that... I'm so sorry. Meg, please! It's okay! To the pier! Now! Hurry!
