Let me show you the way out.

1. Let me show you the way out.
2. I'm going to have to escort you off the premises.

I'd like to know if I can use both of #1 and #2 to express either demanding someone to get out or offering for me to see someone out.
Thank you in advance for your help.

1. This would usually be a polite way of showing someone the way out. It could also be a sarcastic way of telling a person to leave the premises (you're telling the person to get out, but in a pseudo-polite manner).
