( Insects chirping )

( Norman sighs )

( Clock ticking )

Isabella: are you

Enjoying it here?

Krone: oh, of course.

Your children are a delight.

They're all so intelligent

And very well-behaved.

Isabella: quite.

And speaking of which,

You've been

On your best behavior as well.

Krone: uh...

- Yes.

- ( Isabella chuckles )

It's good you're trying

To gain their trust.

You've even

Played tag with them.

I was worried

You'd be too spontaneous,

But it's been fine.

( Krone sighs )

Isabella: you're just insurance.

The only reason I called for you

In the first place

Was simply to make sure that

The products were protected.

( Krone grunts )

Isabella: so, you see,

Those who know the secret

Are not your concern.

All you have to do

Is keep working hard,

Pretend to be obedient to me,

And laugh about having leverage.

( Krone gasps )

I-i would never...

Isabella: your sole purpose

For being at this house

Is to act as my pawn.

But if you behave...

I'll award you the mom position

That you so desire.

You have my word.

( Krone gasps )



Now, I know you're a smart girl,

So try not to make

Any more errors.

( Door closes )

( Insects chirping )

( Door closes )

( Footsteps approaching )

( Krone sighs )

( Sighs )

( Inhales )

( Growling )

How dare she?

( Grunting )

Just watch! You'll see!

I'll drag you down, you witch!

( Grunts )

( Panting )

( Chuckling )

And then,

Soon I will be mom here.

- Norman: emma!

- Emma: huh?

Norman: we should

Start playing tag

- In teams from now on.

- Emma: why's that?

Ray: honestly? Most would die

If they escaped on their own.

Emma: come on, ray!

Ray: not to say that they

Don't have some potential,

But we shouldn't

Let them run solo.

Norman: we'll make formations

And take off in teams.

Ray: that way,

We can simulate the real escape.

Emma: the real one?

Norman:

I had another idea as well.

- Ray: hmm?

- Emma: oh?

Norman: let's tell

Don and gilda.

If we get them on our side,

They can be team leaders.

Ray: and what if they turn out

To be mom's informants?

Norman: don't worry.

I'll basically be k*lling

Two birds with one stone.

Just leave it all to me.

I've already made arrangements.

Emma: ah.

- Ray: emma.

- Emma: mm?

Ray: listen up.

Memorize these formations.

There are of them.

Emma: wait. Do you mean by ear?

Ray: that a problem?

Emma: easy peasy.

- ( Overlapping chatter )

- Child: ...so much fun.

Ray: the goal here

Is to not get caught.

You have ten minutes.

Go!



Emma: everyone, follow me!

Norman:

Let's surprise ray by winning!

( Children laughing )

Don: we got this in the bag!



( Emma chuckles )

( Phil laughs )

( Ray chuckles )

( Overlapping chatter )

Phil: that was so fun! Line: %

Emma: you did pretty amazing

Out there, phil!

Don: hey, can we do that again?

And, this time,

I want to be the leader.

Gilda: maybe we should

Take a little break first.

Child: let's do it again.

Emma: this was a great idea!

I think it'll work!

Ray: hmm.

Emma, what's phil's score?

Emma: huh?

His score, huh?

I'm pretty sure

He's averaging about .

Norman: pretty high.

Ray: when we played tag

With sister and now,

He was one of the last left.

How odd.

Emma: hmm?

Ray: and, on top of that,

He and sherry are always

Looking for you two.

Emma: uh...

Hmm. ( Gasps )

( Wails ) stop it!

I don't wanna suspect him!

There's no way!

Ray: you've gotta start

Being more suspicious

Of everyone, you dummy! Line: %

This is life or death. Line: %

( Emma whimpers )



( Grunts )

( Sighs )

- Norman: hey, ray.

- Ray: hmm?

Norman: are you any closer to

Breaking the tracking devices?

How much time do you need?

Ray: let's see here.

About ten days.

Norman: right.

Then ten days from now.

- Ray: huh?

- ( Emma gasps )

Norman: that's when we'll

Break out of this place,

On november th.

( Both gasp )

Emma: w-wait!

That's so soon!

Which is fine, but--

Ray: are you crazy?!

Conny was shipped two weeks ago,

And shipments go out

Every two months,

So we should have

A month and a half!

Weren't we

Supposed to use that time

To carefully prepare our plan?!

Norman: yeah. But, see,

You're only thinking that way

Because mom is controlling us

To think that way,

So I say we outwit her.

( Emma gasps )

Ray: we're likely to fail

If we rush. What then, norman?

Norman: we need to escape

Before winter comes.

Once we break the devices,

We'll execute the escape plan.

Emma: then we've got a little

Over a week to do everything.

( Norman grunts )

( Ray scoffs )

Emma: so let's talk to don and

Gilda about the plan tonight.

( Insects chirping )

( Footsteps clomping )



( Stairs creaking )

Emma: please, guys,

Just follow my lead.

Ray: huh?

( Norman grunts )

( Don and gilda gasp )

Don: hey, emma! What's up?

( Gilda sighs )

Don: human trafficking?

Are you sure?

( Gilda gasps )

Emma: yeah.

All of our siblings...

Were sold off

To some really bad people.

( Don gasps ) uh...

( Laughs )

No, no, no! There's no way!

Come on!

Norman: it explains

The walls and gate

And also why the kids

Who get adopted

Never send us any letters.

Don: all right, guys.

So what's the punch line?

You almost had me there

For a second.

( Emma stammers )

Don: uh, hey...

Why aren't you guys

Saying anything?

Ray: because it's true.

Don: what?

Wait, but mom...

Emma: she's the one...

Who sells us to people.

Don: huh?! There's no way

Mom would ever do that to us!

Take it back, emma!

- Gilda: don.

- Don: huh?

Gilda: emma loves mom

And this house

Just as much as the rest of us.

Why would she make this up?

( Don gasps )

Emma: so, gilda...

Gilda: to tell the truth,

I did think it was weird.

The night that conny left,

Emma and norman

Both went down to the gate.

Don: wait. You did?

Norman: yeah.

Gilda: in most cases,

Even if you broke the rules,

You'd eventually

Come clean about it,

And things

Would go back to normal.

But you haven't done that yet.

( Emma gasps )

( Don gasps )

Gilda: emma,

I wanted to ask about it,

But I always got too scared

To bring it up.

( Crying )

Emma: oh, gilda,

Oh, please don't cry.

I'm sorry I made you worry. Line: %

Gilda: did you see it happen? Line: %

Did you guys see conny being

Sold off to the bad people?

- ( Emma grunts )

- Norman: yeah...

But we didn't make it in time.

Don: okay, but is conny safe?

Norman: I don't know.

( Ray sighs )

Don: impossible.

This can't be real!

Norman: I don't know

If this proves much,

But emma and ray

Spent the last few days

Looking into

Everyone's test scores.

Both: our test scores?

Norman: according to this,

Kids over six

Are adopted in order

Of lowest scores first.

Weird, huh?

Don: so not just conny's scores,

But hao and ceddy.

Gilda: it's just

Like norman said.

Emma: don, gilda...

Let's all escape

So that we can help everyone.

We can do it

If we work together!

Please, help us.

( Don sighs )

( Both grunt )

( Emma chuckles )

( Gasps )

( Ray sighs )



Ray: what was that?

Norman: not to your liking?

Ray: "so we can help everyone"?

You should have told them

They d*ed!

Norman: we did what we had to

So they'd join us.

Ray: if they end up

Not being spies,

Then that was a cruel thing

To do to someone.

Conny is dead. You shouldn't

Have given them false hope!

They need the truth.

When are you going to tell them?

Can you?

Norman: maybe when

The time is right.

We still have to assume

They might be spies,

So then we should lay a trap.

Ray: a trap?

Norman: I'm going to tell them

Where the rope is hidden.

( Ray groans )

Norman: I'll tell don

That it's behind my bed.

Gilda will know that it's

In the second-floor

Bathroom's ceiling,

And at that point

How's mom gonna find out?

We'll just have to see.

Ray: okay, but what if

The ropes are gone

And it turns out that

Neither of them are the spy?

Norman: I've already

Considered that.

Ray: seems like you're

Prepared for everything.

- Norman: yeah, I told you.

- ( Ray gasps )

Norman: the key here

Is to outwit.

( Ray grunts )

( Children chattering )

Emma: you remember?

It was so fun!

( Gilda giggles )

This is nice, emma.

It's been a while

Since we talked like this.

Emma: weird, right?

Since we're always together.

Gilda: let's keep it that way,

Together forever.

( Emma gasps )

( Giggles )

Yeah.

( Clock ticking )

( Emma gasps )

( Footsteps shuffling )

( Isabella gasps )

( Sighs )



I see.

The rope is

In norman's bed, is it?

( Krone chuckles )

I've been waiting

For you, gilda.

( Emma gasps )



Krone: we can talk now,

Can't we?

( Emma gasps )

Gilda: you mean about...

The issue, right?

( Stammering )

Well, there isn't an issue!

I appreciate you

Checking in on me so much,

But there's nothing

To worry about.

Krone: are you sure?

I can't help but be concerned.

Gilda: I feel better, I promise,

So please stop

Worrying about me.

- Good night.

- ( Emma gasping )

Krone: ah, I see now.

Emma told you everything.

Hmm? ( Laughs )

Am I right, gilda?

She told you

All about it, didn't she?

( Gilda gasping )

( Krone chuckles )

( Emma gasps )

Krone: ahh!

Too bad. I was really hoping

That we could eventually

Become good friends.

( Chuckles ) so tell me.

How many of the others know?

There's norman and ray.

Anyone else?

( Gilda gasps )

Krone: I will let you

Off the hook if you cooperate,

So let's work together.



Gilda: please stop this!

( Sighing )

What are you

Even talking about?

Emma and I just had a fight,

But we were able to make up,

So everything's fine now!

( Krone laughs )

Well, it appears

That I misunderstood. Sorry.

( Gilda gasps )

Krone: if you think

Emma is lying to you,

Feel free to come back

And talk to me.

( Gilda gasps )

Krone: sweet dreams, gilda.

( Door creaks )

( Clock ticking )

( Gilda gasps ) emma.

Emma: gilda.

( Gilda whimpering )

( Krone groans )

I am not giving up.

If I can't get gilda, then...

Thank you

For all your help, don.

Don: yeah, no problem!

Gilda: you think

We should be worried?

Emma: it's time to go.

Mom's watching.

( Overlapping chatter )

Norman: according to what emma

Told me, we can trust gilda.

I'm curious. Why do you think

The traitor's betraying us?

Ray: it's obvious that there's

Gotta be some sort of advantage.

Think about it.

Maybe they get spared

From being shipped or something.

( Norman gasps )

Guaranteed survival. Huh.

( Children panting )

Don: oh, I get it now.

This was all escape training,

Wasn't it?

Emma: , , ...

Norman: emma.

Emma: eh?

Norman: can we talk?

I need your thoughts

On something.

Emma: hmm?

Norman: if there

Really is someone here

Who's willingly siding

With the demons

And is guaranteed to live

In exchange

For bits of information--

Emma: you mean that they're safe

From getting shipped out

- Because they're spying on us?

- Norman: mm-hmm.

Would you take them with us

Or just leave them?

Emma: hmm.

I'd take them.

( Norman gasps )

Even if they didn't want that?

Emma: mm-hmm. I'd force them.

Because if we end up escaping,

Then that person's life

Might not be guaranteed anymore.

( Norman gasps )

Emma: and plus

I wanna believe in everyone.

I realized that

After what happened with gilda.

Ray said to suspect everyone,

But even if one of us

Is helping the demons,

None of our siblings

Are truly bad.

We all grew up together!

Even if someone gets in our way

Or says I'm naive,

I still wanna believe in them.

Right.

Of course

That would be your answer.



( Footstep thumps )

( Ray grunts )

( Norman grunts )

Ray: no rope?

Norman: it's gone.

Ray: really?

Well, then, guess it was don.

( Norman grunts )

Actually, it's you

Who's the traitor, ray.
