1. Conny?Copy !req
2. Hey, wait for me!Copy !req
3. Good morning!Copy !req
4. Morning!Copy !req
5. Hey, Phil! No running!Copy !req
6. Does this go here?Copy !req
7. Yes. Thank you.Copy !req
8. Mark, can you set the table?Copy !req
9. Okay, Mom!Copy !req
10. Good morning, Emma!Copy !req
11. Don't forget to smile.Copy !req
12. Listen up, Emma.Copy !req
13. We have to act like we normally would.Copy !req
14. We broke the rules last night by going to the gate.Copy !req
15. But we didn't find anything.Copy !req
16. What about Little Bernie?Copy !req
17. Right. Mom probably found him.Copy !req
18. She probably doesn't know
how he got there, though.Copy !req
19. Mom was smiling.Copy !req
20. She doesn't show it on her face at all.Copy !req
21. And that's what we have to do too.Copy !req
22. If we let our masks slip, Mom will catch on to us.Copy !req
23. We can't lose, so let's smile.Copy !req
24. The tasty food,Copy !req
25. white outfits that make stains show up easy,Copy !req
26. and the regulated lifestyle...Copy !req
27. It's all to make sure we're
top-quality merchandise, isn't it?Copy !req
28. The only thing we can do is wait
as we're shipped out randomly.Copy !req
29. There's nothing random about it.Copy !req
30. Remember what that demon said?Copy !req
31. "Another six-year-old? We've been
shipping out a lot of average stuff lately."Copy !req
32. What does that mean?Copy !req
33. If I had to say, it probably means
that age relates to grade of meat.Copy !req
34. If I remember correctly,Copy !req
35. the siblings who were shipped out
were between six and twelve years old.Copy !req
36. If a six-year-old is considered average,
then the highest quality would be...Copy !req
37. The twelve-year-olds.Copy !req
38. But what about our scores?Copy !req
39. Getting good scores on tests
can't possibly make us tastier, right?Copy !req
40. That's true.Copy !req
41. They were never announced unless
we got perfect scores, so maybe...Copy !req
42. It's the order they ship us out?Copy !req
43. Yeah...Copy !req
44. Starting from when we turn six,
we're chosen based on who gets the lowest scores.Copy !req
45. And when we finally turn twelve,
we're shipped out no matter what.Copy !req
46. So we were never picked because
we kept getting perfect scores?Copy !req
47. But I don't understand why our scores matter.Copy !req
48. Is there something special about
being between six and twelve?Copy !req
49. The size of our bodies?Copy !req
50. Nah. Then it'd be all about our weight.Copy !req
51. It's about our brains.Copy !req
52. That means...Copy !req
53. Our brains probably taste the best.Copy !req
54. And the more developed
the brain is, the better it tastes.Copy !req
55. They... eat our brains?Copy !req
56. And they're willing to take on
any and all costs and risks to that end.Copy !req
57. That's why we're high-quality merchandise.Copy !req
58. Think back, Emma.Copy !req
59. The last three to be shipped out
were Conny, Hao, and Sadie.Copy !req
60. Going by that schedule, the next shipment
should be two months from now at the earliest.Copy !req
61. We need to come up with a way
for all of us to escape before then.Copy !req
62. If we draw a simple map of this place,Copy !req
63. the House is in the middle, then there's the gate,Copy !req
64. and finally, the forest that surrounds it all.Copy !req
65. So, first of all, which one should we escape through?Copy !req
66. The gate, or the forest?Copy !req
67. Probably the forest?Copy !req
68. The gate's always shut unless they're
sending out a shipment, and when it's open...Copy !req
69. The demons are out there.Copy !req
70. So what's our escape timing, then?Copy !req
71. Afternoon playtime, when we can
move around the House grounds freely?Copy !req
72. Or at night, when Mom isn't—Copy !req
73. Not while they're shipping!Copy !req
74. We're definitely losing someone if we do.Copy !req
75. Right.Copy !req
76. Besides, there's no telling if the
little ones can keep themselves awake.Copy !req
77. Then it's decided.Copy !req
78. We'll escape through the forest during the day.Copy !req
79. Whether that's possible...Copy !req
80. depends on what it's like beyond the forest.Copy !req
81. Norman!Copy !req
82. Norman!Copy !req
83. You okay?Copy !req
84. Guess I wore myself out with all that planning.Copy !req
85. Well, guess I'll go look instead!Copy !req
86. So? You see anything?Copy !req
87. Nothing.Copy !req
88. But this wall's about two to three meters thick.Copy !req
89. And it's pretty tall, too.Copy !req
90. But there are no guards.Copy !req
91. It's quiet.Copy !req
92. What do you think?Copy !req
93. It's hard and sturdy.Copy !req
94. It doesn't have any joints,
let alone footholds to use.Copy !req
95. And the surface is totally smooth.Copy !req
96. There's no way anyone's climbing this.Copy !req
97. Then should we give up?Copy !req
98. That's what this wall wants us to do.Copy !req
99. But either one of us could
climb it if we had a rope.Copy !req
100. It doesn't seem like there
are any demons around.Copy !req
101. The only one watching us is Mom.Copy !req
102. Don't worry. There's nothing to be scared of.Copy !req
103. Gotcha.Copy !req
104. Huh? We're missing two kids.Copy !req
105. Mom!Copy !req
106. Mark?Copy !req
107. What's wrong?Copy !req
108. What do I do?Copy !req
109. I lost Naila in the forest!Copy !req
110. I looked everywhere, but I can't find her!Copy !req
111. Don't you worry.Copy !req
112. All of you stay right here, okay?Copy !req
113. Mom...Copy !req
114. Mom!Copy !req
115. Naila!Copy !req
116. She must've tired herself out and fallen asleep.Copy !req
117. Look, there isn't a scratch on her.Copy !req
118. Thank goodness!Copy !req
119. I'm so sorry, Naila! I'm sorry!Copy !req
120. It was like Mom knew exactly where Naila was.Copy !req
121. Come to think of it,
Mom's always been great at finding us.Copy !req
122. She always found us real quick,
no matter where we hid.Copy !req
123. That's not a pocket watch...Copy !req
124. It's a tracking device!Copy !req
125. There's probably transmitters
implanted somewhere in our bodies.Copy !req
126. Mom purposely showed us the
compact case so we would figure it out.Copy !req
127. "Whoever you are, you're not getting away."Copy !req
128. That's the message Mom's trying to send us.Copy !req
129. Mom is...Copy !req
130. an enemy!Copy !req
131. First off, let's get our hands on some rope.Copy !req
132. I have a good idea of where to look.Copy !req
133. I'll meet up with you in
the hallway tonight at 10.Copy !req
134. Hang on!Copy !req
135. They have transmitters on us,Copy !req
136. so what if they have other stuff,
like cameras or bugs, too?Copy !req
137. It's fine.Copy !req
138. I had a look around,
and couldn't find anything.Copy !req
139. When'd you do that?Copy !req
140. That much was probably obvious, though.Copy !req
141. It's not the building they're trying to secure, it's us.Copy !req
142. Do you think Mom knows already?Copy !req
143. About us going up to the wall earlier...Copy !req
144. I don't think so.Copy !req
145. She didn't bust us when we went
to deliver Little Bernie, after all.Copy !req
146. Good point.Copy !req
147. It's not as if Mom is constantly
aware of our whereabouts.Copy !req
148. She'll only know where we are if she checks.Copy !req
149. She knows that Little Bernie was brought
to the gate by someone other than Conny.Copy !req
150. But I don't think she's figured out who it was.Copy !req
151. If she had, she wouldn't have
warned us in such a roundabout way.Copy !req
152. I see.Copy !req
153. Hey, Norman!Copy !req
154. You got a sec?Copy !req
155. The clock's not working properly.Copy !req
156. Sure, I'll come take a look.Copy !req
157. It'll be okay, Emma.Copy !req
158. We're not suspects just yet.Copy !req
159. Conny...Copy !req
160. Em—Copy !req
161. What's wrong, Emma?Copy !req
162. You look pale.Copy !req
163. Which reminds me, you weren't
quite your cheerful self this morning.Copy !req
164. That's not...Copy !req
165. It's nothing really.Copy !req
166. I just got a little sad thinking about
how I'll be leaving the House soon too.Copy !req
167. Do you like it here at the House?Copy !req
168. I love both the House and you, Mom!Copy !req
169. I wonder what Conny's doing right now.Copy !req
170. Conny said she wanted to be
a mother like you when she grew up.Copy !req
171. Yes, I know.Copy !req
172. I'm sure Conny will become a lovely adult,Copy !req
173. and a good mother, too.Copy !req
174. Dinner's ready, Mom.Copy !req
175. I'll be right there.Copy !req
176. Wait for me!Copy !req
177. Hurry up!Copy !req
178. Let's go, Emma.Copy !req
179. Sure.Copy !req
180. Did the two of you...Copy !req
181. go to the gate yesterday?Copy !req
182. Why would we?Copy !req
183. It's against the rules.Copy !req
184. Besides, we were having too much
fun playing tag yesterday, right?Copy !req
185. Yeah!Copy !req
186. Why?Copy !req
187. It's fine, so long as you didn't go.Copy !req
188. Can you stand?Copy !req
189. Using tablecloths was a genius idea, Norman!Copy !req
190. We can tie them together
and use them as rope.Copy !req
191. This should take care of getting over the wall.Copy !req
192. Now to deal with the bigger issues...Copy !req
193. Finding where the transmitters are...Copy !req
194. and putting together
a proper plan to get everyone out.Copy !req
195. Hey, Norman.Copy !req
196. I was thinking that it's probably fine to tell Ray.Copy !req
197. I agree.Copy !req
198. Ray's not likely to panic,Copy !req
199. and his vast knowledge extends to machines, too.Copy !req
200. I'm sure he'd be a huge help.Copy !req
201. But...Copy !req
202. But?Copy !req
203. I'll talk to Ray myself.Copy !req
204. Why don't you head back, and—Copy !req
205. Why?Copy !req
206. Ray?Copy !req
207. 'Sup.Copy !req
208. Sorry, I followed you guys.Copy !req
209. It's been bugging me for a while,
so I thought I'd ask you two about it.Copy !req
210. What happened at the gate that night?Copy !req
211. When you went to go deliver
Little Bernie to Conny, I mean.Copy !req
212. You were clearly acting strange.Copy !req
213. Not to mention that you came back
empty-handed despite "not making it".Copy !req
214. You're rather perceptive.Copy !req
215. Something definitely happened!
Spit it out already!Copy !req
216. He's too smart for us after all.Copy !req
217. Demons...Copy !req
218. A farm...Copy !req
219. And Mom is an enemy?Copy !req
220. This is real messed up.Copy !req
221. He caught on quick!Copy !req
222. You're saying that we're cared for so thoroughly
so we can become top-shelf demon food?Copy !req
223. I mean...Copy !req
224. I'm surprised you're believing us so easily.Copy !req
225. Why wouldn't I?Copy !req
226. Norman wouldn't make up such a stupid lie.Copy !req
227. You, on the other hand...Copy !req
228. Anyway, if we're really going to escape,
there's a couple of issues to address.Copy !req
229. First of all, the number of kids.Copy !req
230. If we limit it to those who can actually—Copy !req
231. Hang on!Copy !req
232. I wanna escape with everyone.Copy !req
233. Help us, Ray. Please.Copy !req
234. Everyone?Copy !req
235. You're kidding, right?Copy !req
236. There's 37 of us.Copy !req
237. And most are under six.Copy !req
238. With Mom, the demons,
and the transmitters to factor in,Copy !req
239. an already difficult escape
becomes even more challenging.Copy !req
240. We know that.Copy !req
241. But it's not impossible—Copy !req
242. No, it is impossible.Copy !req
243. You haven't realized, have you, Emma?Copy !req
244. W-Wait, Ray!Copy !req
245. Oh, I see.Copy !req
246. That's why you said you'd talk to me yourself.Copy !req
247. When it comes to something like this,
you should just come out with it.Copy !req
248. Emma.Copy !req
249. What?Copy !req
250. Just escaping this place isn't enough.Copy !req
251. What's that supposed to mean?Copy !req
252. We don't know what it's like on the outside.Copy !req
253. But there's a place we're getting shipped to.Copy !req
254. The fact that a human farm exists
should give you some clues.Copy !req
255. What waits outside is a society of demons.Copy !req
256. In the worst case, there might not be
anywhere for us humans at all.Copy !req
257. So it really is impossible.Copy !req
258. If we take everyone, we'll all die.Copy !req
259. We have to leave them behind.
That's the best option.Copy !req
260. No way.Copy !req
261. Even if it's impossible,
I wanna get everyone outta here.Copy !req
262. We can figure it out somehow!Copy !req
263. I don't want our escape to fail,Copy !req
264. but there's no way we can
leave 'em all behind, either.Copy !req
265. I want Conny to be the last.Copy !req
266. I don't wanna see anyone else
end up like that ever again.Copy !req
267. If there isn't a place for us humans
out there, then let's make one ourselves.Copy !req
268. Let's change the world.Copy !req
269. I understand now, thanks to you, Ray.Copy !req
270. That's the kinda prison break we've gotta pull off.Copy !req
271. My position on this ain't changing.Copy !req
272. I'm set on this.Copy !req
273. So, Ray, you're the one who's gotta give up.
Quit your whining and help us!Copy !req
274. Hey, babysitter! How can—Copy !req
275. We'll escape with everyone, no matter what!Copy !req
276. I'm not going otherwise!Copy !req
277. I'm not! I'm not!Copy !req
278. Do something about that idiot!Copy !req
279. She's being unreasonable!Copy !req
280. I know, right?Copy !req
281. But I'm glad she's so cheerful.Copy !req
282. You've got to stop her!
If you don't, you're both going to die!Copy !req
283. You knew that from the very start, didn't you?Copy !req
284. Emma cried, you know?Copy !req
285. That night, I thought she was crying
because she was scared of dying.Copy !req
286. But I was wrong.Copy !req
287. I was the one who was worrying about that.Copy !req
288. Emma was crying because
she was scared of her family dying.Copy !req
289. Isn't that just amazing?Copy !req
290. She's putting the others before
herself, despite everything.Copy !req
291. That's totally wrong, though.Copy !req
292. The whole plan's a sinking ship!
We can manage with just us three!Copy !req
293. If it's just us, we can pull this off.Copy !req
294. You're correct,
and you shouldn't be ashamed of that.Copy !req
295. Don't let your emotions
cloud your judgment, Norman.Copy !req
296. You've got it backwards, Ray.Copy !req
297. I'm fine with sailing on a sinking ship.Copy !req
298. But why?Copy !req
299. You're not like her!Copy !req
300. You're far more level-headed,
and you always make the right choices.Copy !req
301. So, why?Copy !req
302. Because I love her.Copy !req
303. And it's because I love her that
I want to see her keep on smiling.Copy !req
304. You've lost your mind.Copy !req
305. What if Emma dies because of all this?Copy !req
306. I won't let that happen.Copy !req
307. I'll do everything in my power to prevent it.Copy !req
308. Fortunately, I've never failed
to accomplish something I've set out to do.Copy !req
309. If you plug all the holes, a sinking ship will float.Copy !req
310. A sinking ship won't necessarily go down.Copy !req
311. This is madness.Copy !req
312. Perhaps.Copy !req
313. Both Emma and I are insane, it seems.Copy !req
314. We've totally lost it.Copy !req
315. You can't let us do this on our own, can you?Copy !req
316. Damn it.Copy !req
317. Like hell I could.Copy !req
318. Ray. Norman.Copy !req
319. We should still have some free time left, right?Copy !req
320. I wonder what's up.Copy !req
321. Allow me to introduce you.Copy !req
322. This is your newest little sister, Carol.Copy !req
323. And this is Sister Krone.Copy !req
324. She's here to help me take care of you.Copy !req
325. A-An adult?Copy !req
326. Another enemy...Copy !req
327. I'll be living here with you all, starting today.Copy !req
328. Pleased to meet you.Copy !req
329. It's nice to meet you too.Copy !req
330. Hello!Copy !req
331. Today's reddened sky is truly frighteningCopy !req
