Norman: Sonju and Mujika?!

The Evil-Blooded Girl is still alive.

Ray: "Evil-Blooded"?

Emma: Then you know about 'em.

Did you meet 'em, too?

Norman: No, I never met them. I only heard rumors.

They described a demon girl who was an anomaly.

She never ate human flesh,

because she didn't need it

to retain her form or intelligence.

The stories about her go back 700 years, give or take.

Records say she appeared after the Promise,

but before the Farms,

a savior figure...

who first showed up in a starving village.

Emma: Really?

Norman: Yeah. She transferred her power

to the demons in the village using her blood.

She had them drink one drop of it,

and they obtained a humanoid form

and didn't have to eat human flesh

- ever again to retain it. - ( both gasp )

Norman: Also their blood could convert others,

just like hers could.

Emma: What? You're kidding!

Ray: And that's all it took?

One drop of her blood, and they were all like her?

Norman: Mm-hmm.

And then the converted demons went to other towns.

They shared their blood with those demons,

saving them from starvation.

However, when the royals and aristocracy found out,

they rounded up the affected demons.

They had them executed and devoured them all.

( both gasp )

Norman: The Evil-Blooded Girl

was supposed to have been killed then, too,

but if she's not dead...

Ray: They've been traveling around this whole time,

hiding to avoid being caught.

Emma: Um...

I don't understand what the point of it all was.

Do you?

Like, why did they have to kill the demons Mujika converted?

Norman: They were afraid of her,

of her blood and power.

Emma: They were afraid?

But there's nothing to be scared about.

All her blood did was make it

so they didn't have to eat humans anymore.

Ray: That's the problem.

Emma: How?

Ray: The royals and aristocracy,

they control the meat supply through the farm system. Get it?

With that, they can pick who gets the meat,

how much they get, and when.

That gives them the power to rule their subjects.

They can't give that up,

so they had to kill 'em. Isn't that right?

Norman: Mm-hmm.

Ray: Maybe the Promise wasn't about keeping peace.

It was about the royals grabbing all the power.

It's easier to control their people

if they control the meat.

Anyone who gets in their way has to die.

Emma: That's awful.

Norman: It's not surprising, though.

In the end, everyone's out for themselves.

Not everyone is as kind and virtuous as you, Emma.

( Emma gasps )

Norman: Anyway, I'm worried

about these other demons, Sonju and Mujika.

With the power in their blood,

they can just change all the demons back.

They're a threat to our plan,

and we can't trust them to ally with us.

We have to find them and kill them.

( both gasp )

Emma: Not even!

Sonju and Mujika aren't a threat!

They saved our lives. They're our friends!

I won't kill them!

Norman: Emma...

they're demons just the same.

Do you think they'll stand by

and let us exterminate their kind?

They won't. You know that.

Emma: Then we shouldn't exterminate them!

( sighs ) Norman, I--

I don't want to do this.

That's what I came here to talk to you about.

You said yourself Mujika's blood is special.

Maybe we don't even need her blood.

The royals and aristocrats have it, too.

Since they ate demons like her, their blood's like hers.

And we don't have to kill them, either.

We just capture them and the demons that manage the farms

and give a few drops of blood to all the other--

Norman: No, Emma.

Even if they don't have to eat us,

it's their nature to.

And when you think about it, we're the same way.

If someone told you

you couldn't eat your favorite food anymore,

could you stop just like that?

And what about your family?

Could you force them to stop?

Would the demons have enough empathy

to not eat us if they didn't have to,

when all we ever were to them was food?

Emma: Then let's just go to the human world!

Mr. Minerva's message said it's a real thing.

We'll be leaving the demons to degenerate, but still...

that's not killing them.

Look. We got these coordinates to the human world

back at the bunker.

( display crackling )

Norman: You won't find anything there.

Emma: What? ( gasps )

Norman: Smee already told me about those coordinates.

( pen slides open )

It was one of several gates,

and each had a device to open it and let you through.

However, the ones for these gates

were destroyed by the Farms a while ago.

( both gasp )

Emma: Isn't there another way?

They wouldn't just cut themselves off like that!

Norman: You're right.

They did leave one gate open for access...

at Grace Field House.

( both gasp )

( Ray chuckles )

We went to all that trouble to escape,

and the way out was right there.

Emma: That's okay. We'll just go right back there!

Norman: It's not that easy.

This particular gate is deep underground

in the headquarters. Besides...

( Emma gasps )

Norman: Even if we got through,

there's no guarantee we'd be accepted

by the humans on the other side.

Emma: Mr. Minerva said they would.

Norman: Minerva's dead.

All of his allies were killed,

not by demons, by humans.

If they're both willing

to commit atrocities against their own kind for profit,

who can we trust?

We won't get past the gatekeeper anyway.

Emma: The what?

Norman: Your ideas are just too risky.

Taking this world for ourselves is the safest option.

And to do that, we have to get rid of all the demons,

or there's no future for us.

Emma: I'll admit...

everything you say sounds logical enough,

and it makes sense.

But still...

if the only way to have a future is by killing my friends,

I won't be able to live with myself.

- ( Norman gasps ) - Emma: Sure,

your plan's logical and isn't as risky for us,

but is it the best solution,

even when we have other options that don't involve death?

You're talking about wiping out families, children!

I could never...

ever be a part of that.

Whatever the risk,

if there's a chance for both the demons and us to survive,

that's a chance worth taking.

If all we did was trust the safest bet,

we never would have escaped the House.

You escaped 'cause I was shipped out.

Ray: That's not fair! We tried to get you to--

Norman: If I'm going to save everyone,

I can't take any chances!

( Emma shudders )

Norman: My way's right.

Ray: Norman, what's with you?

Norman: Go back to the temple

and wait with the others.

Ray: But we're not done.

- Hey! - ( footsteps echoing )

( Emma gasps )

Norman!

I won't let you shut me out like this.

( Norman sighs )

Emma: Please...

I need you to listen!

Forget about what's logical.

Think about what's right, what's humane.

You don't want to destroy an entire species, do you?

You can see how wrong that is, can't you?

( Norman gasps )

- ( Emma gasps ) - Norman: No.

It's the only way we can survive.

( Emma sighs )

All right, then.

( Norman sighs )

- Emma: Let's make a deal. - Norman: Huh?

Emma: I'll find Sonju and Mujika and bring 'em back.

Norman: What?

Emma: You said you wanted to find 'em.

I'll go find 'em.

( Norman shudders )

Emma: But you have to hold off releasing that drug

'til I get back.

( Ray gasps )

Emma: Just give me ten days.

That's all I need.

( Norman sighs )

- Okay. - ( Emma gasps )

Norman: But you have three days to find them.

- Emma: Seven days. - Norman: Five days.

( Emma breathes deeply )

You got yourself a deal, then.

Norman: Sound good?

Ray: Uh-huh, and I'll go with her.

Norman: All right. I'll wait five days,

and if you don't bring them back by then,

I'll go ahead with my plan, okay?

Emma: Mm-hmm. That sounds fine to me.

Thanks for holding off, Norman.

( knock at the door )

( Zazie grunts )

( both gasp )

Norman: I'll be there in a little bit.

( both stammer )

Norman: Guys...

be careful out there.

( both sigh )

( birds squawking )

( hinges creak )

Cislo: Hmm?

- Ah, hey, Boss! - Barbara: 'Bout time.

Vincent: Here are my notes from the final experiment.

It had the intended effect.

Cislo: So what'd your friends want to talk about?

Norman: They don't want the demons eradicated.

- ( Cislo gasps ) - Barbara: What?!

Oh, I knew it.

Norman: The Evil-Blooded Girl's alive, too.

- Cislo: What? - Barbara: For real?!

Norman: Yes. They said they met her

and they're all friends now.

Cislo: Friends? You gotta be kidding me!

Vincent: That's both convenient and inconvenient.

- ( slam ) - ( gasps )

Barbara: They're friends...

with the demons?

( gasping )

So that's why she doesn't wanna kill 'em.

That little idiot!

- ( ragged breathing ) What... - ( slam )

- in the hell... - ( slam )

- are they thinking?! - ( slam )

We're not supposed to be friends with 'em!

They're all out to kill us, every last one!

( gasping )

( gags )

( groaning )

Vincent: Barbara!

Barbara: My head...

- ( groans ) - ( Cislo sighs )

It's another one of those Lambda side effects.

( Barbara groaning )

Vincent: Here you go. Take these.

The attacks happen more and more,

and the symptoms are getting even worse.

For Cislo and Zazie and me, too.

( Cislo sighs )

Vincent: I don't think we have much time left.

Barbara: This--

this is what demons do to us.

Our lives mean squat to them.

We're less than bugs. We're nothing.

That's just how it is in their world.

( sobbing )

Those bastards, they should die,

every one of them!

( sobs )

Cislo: Hey, Boss...

when you were gone, we had a talk with Emma and Ray.

They're naive as all hell and made me wanna blow chunks,

but I can tell they're a couple of good kids in the end.

They're your friends after all.

But I gotta know for sure, Boss.

You're still with us, aren't you?!

You haven't changed your mind?!

We're still doing this, right?!

♪

( birds chirping )

You made a deal with them?

Vincent: If they find those two and come back here,

are you going to abort our mission on the town?!

Norman: No.

We stick to the plan.

Nothing's changed.

And I'll kill the Evil-Blooded Girl.

I've come this far already.

It's too late to change course now.

( stomach grumbles )

( Thoma gasps )

( chuckles )

Down, stomach.

Lannion: We can't go and eat 'til Ray and Emma get back.

Thoma: Yeah, I know.

Oh, man. 'Member how Sonju said

the birds that migrate here were super-yummy?

Lannion: Yeah. Mujika cooked 'em just right, too.

- ( stomach grumbles ) - ( gasps )

( both laugh )

Lannion: I hope they're okay,

- wherever they are. - Thoma: Look!

Children: What?!

Christie: You're gonna go look for Sonju and Mujika?!

Alicia: And you only have five days?!

Emma: Yeah, crazy, huh.

Nat: I'll say! And what's all this

about you not wanting to rid this world of demons?!

Dominic: Norman said his plan's ready to go!

Jemima: Why are you doing this, Emma?

Aren't you scared of the demons?

Emma: Of course I'm scared of 'em, as much as anyone.

But, like, I've been thinking about 'em a lot.

About the ones that live in the village

and the kids I saw playing there

and the old one who comes to pray.

None of 'em deserve to be wiped out for existing.

( Jemima gasps )

Emma: We have to eat to survive.

You think the food we eat wants us to eat it?

So, like, is there even a difference

between us and the demons?

( children gasping )

Emma: Sure, we could just leave.

But without their food, they'll degenerate.

Then they'll go after their own and start eating each other,

and all their horror and suffering will be our fault.

( children gasp )

- ( stomach grumbles ) - ( Mark gasps )

( sighs )

Lannion: If I was hungry, like, really, really hungry,

I'd eat anyth--

( Thoma gasps )

( Lannion shudders )

( children gasping )

( Don shudders )

Emma: I don't want to be the cause of their extinction,

and I don't want anyone else to be, either.

Ray: They'll kill Sonju and Mujika, too,

and none of us want that.

( children gasp )

Emma: Maybe I'm totally wrong,

but I can't stand by and let the demons be killed.

I don't know. I just don't wanna make a choice that I'll regret.

Alicia: Me, neither.

( boys gasp )

( children chuckle )

Gilda: You're crazy!

Emma: Gilda.

Gilda: I get why you care about Sonju and Mujika,

but the other demons?!

They all want to kill us and eat us!

Did you forget about the ones from yesterday?

They almost killed you!

Ray: Like you said, Emma's crazy.

( Emma gasps )

Don: Yeah, that shouldn't surprise anyone by now.

- Whatever. I think she's right. - Gilda: Don!

Don: At first, I couldn't see her point of view,

but now I do. And who wants to live with regrets?

Heck, if we did, we would have never gotten this far!

Besides, once she's made up her mind,

there's no stopping her.

Gilda: I know.

I'm just worried about you, Emma.

You're putting yourself in danger again.

Emma: Gilda.

I'm sorry.

I don't mean to make you worry.

But the thing is I have to do this,

or I'll never be able to forgive myself.

And then there's Norman. ( sighs )

I don't want him sacrificing himself again.

Gilda: Wait. Norman?

Ray: Yup. Like last time,

he's doing the same damn thing.

What he means is Norman's putting

all the pressure of saving us on himself.

Ray: He thinks our escape was successful

because he let himself get shipped out.

Emma: And he couldn't be more wrong!

Our escape wasn't successful 'cause he sacrificed himself.

Sure, we planned and trained, and we made it out, but still,

he chose to get shipped out when he didn't even need to.

I don't want to suffer like that again,

and he shouldn't, either.

I'll bring back Sonju and Mujika

and show Norman what's possible when you try.

Don: Jeez!

Sounds like Norman hasn't changed one bit.

He should have had way more faith in us back then.

Thoma: Heck, yeah, he shoulda!

Lannion: He didn't have to get shipped out to help us escape.

Next time I see him, I'm gonna give him a piece of my mind.

( Gilda sighs )

Emma: Gilda...

if you're up for it...

do you wanna help us go look for them?

( Gilda gasps )

Ray: Good idea. We can cover more ground.

Don, can you come, too?

( Don laughs )

Heck, yeah, I can!

( Gilda gasps )

( crying )

( Emma gasps )

Do you wanna stay here instead?

( Gilda crying )

Uh-uh!

- ( grunts ) - ( Emma gasps )

Gilda: But since I'm coming, I'll have my eye on you,

so you better not do anything dangerous, got it?

Emma: Yeah. I got it.

( thump )

Thanks, Gilda.

Rossi: Wait.

Sonju and Mujika could be anywhere by now.

Christie: In a different part of the forest maybe.

Yvette: Oh! They'd go wherever their favorite food was!

Rossi and Christie: Yeah! That's right!

All: Migrating birds!

Ray: Exactly. I've been seeing flocks of them around lately.

It's a good bet those two are somewhere in the area.

Don: Aww, yeah!

Finding them's gonna be a piece of cake!

- Dominic: Good luck! - Jemima: And be careful!

Nat: We can hold the fort down while you're gone!

Rossi: And we'll keep monitoring the other Houses, too!

Don: Thanks, you guys.

We'll be back in no time!

Emma: Wait for us, Norman, please.

( Norman gags )

( groaning )

( coughing )

Norman: Emma, Ray...

( crying )

I'm sorry.

( woman vocalizing )

Emma.

Emma: Huh?

Norman: Thanks a lot.

Emma: Yeah.

Norman: Sorry I tricked you.

Emma: Yeah.

Norman: It'll be okay.

Don't ever give up.

( Emma cries )

( vocalizing continues )

( Norman chuckles )

( lantern rattling )

( gate clanking )

( vocalizing continues )

( grunts )

Isabella: Over here.

Norman: Huh?

Isabella: Please wait in this room for a little while.

( door creaking )

( vocalizing ends )

- Male: Good evening. - ( Norman gasps )

Male: Nice to meet you, Norman.

( door creaks )

( clang )
