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!

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.

interest you, Hunter,

don't strain your ears.

Come join us next time.

I didn't -- I-I --

[ "Twinkle, Twinkle,

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.

But what would you know?

You don't even

have nightmares.

Or do you?

No.

I have complete over

my mind's functioning --

Do you wish

Not nightmares,

I do not wish for things.

Where do you want us

That won't burn.

There's too much life

The best firewood

is dead wood.

It's not for burning.

[ 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 ]

Not all stick puzzles

Do you need a hint?

Let Paul try and figure it out

on his own.

The lesson doesn't work

prior to the work.

No, I think I got it.

Paul.

You cheated.

Campion --

No, I didn't. I didn't.

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.

was not weak.
