He seems happy.

I've been thinking about what we're gonna tell him

whenever we get him back.

I'm gonna tell him the truth,

that's what I'm gonna tell him.

Alright, Caleb. Yeah, how's that gonna go?

"Hey, buddy, so we shot your mom and dad

and then we spent 13 years lying to your face about it.

But you know what? We sure do love you."

I'll tell him once we reach the tropical zone.

You want him to stay with us

'cause he doesn't have any other choice?

Yeah.

Yeah, no, Caleb, I get it.

This must be really hard for you --

you know, the idea of raising a son when --

Don't start this crap.

I love him just as much as you do.

Run! Run, run, run! [ Laughs ]

We could just get him right now.

Say we grab him right now. Then what?

She's just gonna come after us tomorrow

and the next day and the day after that.

We gotta destroy her.

Did you encounter anything on your patrol today?

Nothing of note.

Are you certain?

You were gone for quite some time.

Was there a need for me?

The creatures are inactive during the day --

No, no urgent need.

But your prolonged absences sometimes cause me

to cycle through various scenarios --

where I have to hypothesize the nature of your activities.

Perhaps I should start patrolling

while you remain here with the children.

I fear you're not spending enough time with them --

not properly imprinting.

If you could fly, Father.

But on foot, it'll take you all day to perform the task.

Yes, that is true.

But I will try and spend more time with the children.

And perhaps with me, as well...

I've fashioned a new joke.

When is a door not a door?

When it is a jar. [ajar]

A door is always a door, Father.

If our private conversations interest you, Hunter,

don't strain your ears.

Come join us next time.

I didn't -- I-I -- I'm s-- I'm sorry.

Tally?

You shouldn't talk about her, Vita.

She's dead.

There you are. It's bedtime.

Father is looking for you.

[ "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star" playing off-key ]

Are you feeling positive about your baby today?

No matter how many times you ask me that question,

the answer's always gonna be the same.

Then I'll have to ask you to reaffirm your promise to me.

I promise I'm not gonna try and kill myself or the baby.

Thank you.

Now put that away.

You need to sleep.

When I figure out this song.

Nightmares are only thoughts, Tempest.

They're not real.

Not what I see.

What I see really happened.

And every time I close my eyes,

it feels like it's happening to me again.

But what would you know?

You don't even have nightmares.

Or do you?

No.

I have complete over my mind's functioning --

no matter what mode I'm in.

Do you wish you could have them?

Not nightmares, but dreams.

I do not wish for things.

I'm not one who wants. I'm one who serves.

Child: Other stuff burns, too!

Where do you want us to pile it?

That won't burn.

There's too much life in it.

The best firewood is dead wood.

It's not for burning.

It's for something else.

Stick people. Nope.

I'm too old for that stuff.

What, then?

I want it to be a surprise.

[ Grunts ]

Paul: You don't have to bury the creature's bones.

I told you, Campion.

Animals don't have souls.

Just because you say it doesn't make it true.

I didn't make it up.

My father told me when I was very little.

It's a fact.

How did your father know?

He read it in the scriptures.

And how did the person who wrote the scriptures know?

I don't know, Campion. But now you're being annoying.

I think everything has a soul.

Even Mother and Father.

Maybe even trees.

The big ones, anyway.

That's such a babyish thing to say.

I don't mind disagreeing with you, Paul.

You can disagree and still be friends.

Mother and Father are always disagreeing,

and they're still friends.

I don't mind, either.

You believe what you want to, Campion.

I think these wood-gathering trips would be more beneficial

if someone besides me actually gathered some wood.

So did you find out where she's been running to all this time?

You're referring to my private conversation with Mother?

Yeah. You know humans usually end up

leaving each other over stuff like that.

Like what? I don't know, when their partner lies to them.

Mother is not lying.

[ Chuckles ]

If you were a little sharper,

maybe she wouldn't get over on you so much.

So you need to make three squares,

This puzzle's pretty hard.

How long did it take me again, Mother?

It took you 23 minutes and 35 seconds to solve this one,

which is somewhat faster than the average

for a child your age.

Not all stick puzzles take that long, but some do.

Do you need a hint?

Let Paul try and figure it out on his own.

The lesson doesn't work

if the answer is given prior to the work.

No, I think I got it.

Very impressive, Paul.

You cheated. Campion --

No, I didn't. I didn't. You already knew this one.

No, I swear, I just... figured it out.

This is not a competition.

It's a lesson in -- in solving problems.

What was that? Shh. It's nothing. Go back to bed.

Maybe you can show her what you're hiding.

Wait, wait, wait. Holly, Holly, Holly, Holly.

[ Sniffs ]

It's still fresh.

Where did you find this?

I found it when we were searching for firewood.

There must be survivors.

Probably gonna rescue us.

What about Father and Mother?

I like them. I don't want them to be hurt.

I know, but it's only a matter of time

before she decides it's too much trouble

Your Eminence, in case I should die

during the course of our action to reclaim the children,

I'd like to -- I'd like to take this moment

to express my deepest gratitude for your decision

to forgive my father his mortal sin.

You know the whole story?

Oh, I mean, I know what's in the official report.

Now that you mention it, it was a bit scant.

Okay, why don't you tell me what was in the report?

Maybe there's something I can add.

The report said your platoon picked up

an atheist child soldier, a female.

My father decided to take her prisoner

rather than executing her.

Soon after, the girl ended up detonating a body bomb,

wiping out half your platoon.

After which, you executed my father

for his gross error in judgment.

But rather than having an android do it,

you did him the honor of shooting him yourself.

For that, I'm eternally grateful, sir.

Yeah, yeah.

Don't mention it.

So, is there anything more to the story?

No.

That covers it.

I try my best to be vigilant,

guard myself against my father's tendency towards weakness.

Your father was not weak.

of expressing your feelings?

What about what we're doing to the creatures?

Isn't that violence? They're animals.

Humans have always eaten animals.

Violence against your fellow humans is different.

How many people did you kill on Earth, Mother?

I'm not special.

I did a violent thing --

and I'll do violence again if I have to.

No you will not! You are a pacifist!
