Norman: it's fine, you guys.
- No need to worry.

Norman: we'll hear you out.
( Krone chuckles )
Excellent.
It's best if we cooperate
So we can each
Achieve our goals.
You all want
To break out of here,
And I want to eventually
Become mom of this house.
The plan is to drag isabella
From her position
And then seize it for myself.
Don: you wanna be a mom?
Krone: to prove that I mean it,
You kids aren't the only ones
Who wanna break free from this.

Krone: are you aware
Of the management system here?
( All gasp )
Krone: girls who meet
Certain conditions
And live until the age of
Are usually presented
With two different paths when
They're about to be shipped out,
Continue and die
Or aim to become a mom.
Don: what conditions?
Krone: high test scores
And the mom's recommendation.
Meet those two requirements,
And it's possible to survive
Without escaping,
If you're a girl.
Gilda: only girls?
Krone: although,
I don't recommend it.
They make it so you're never
Allowed to leave the premises.
( All gasp )
Emma: what is that?
Krone: there's a chip inside,
And, with it, if you step
One foot outside the farm,
An electric current triggers
And causes your heart to stop.
( All gasp )
Krone: but, at the same time,
If your heart stops
For some other reason,
It acts as a transmitter
That notifies the higher-ups.
Norman: we were right about
Not being able to k*ll them.
( Krone chuckles )
Because of this chip,
I can only live on the farms.
That's why I wanna live
In the best way
This place has to offer.
- ( Emma sighs )
- Krone: even if it's fake,
Being a mom means
You get to feel human,
But, to achieve that,
I have to remove isabella.
If all of you escape, she'll be
The one who's blamed for it.
( Giggles ) trust me,
I won't stop you
If you make a run for it.
It actually benefits me.
Gilda: you won't ship us out?

Krone: so let's cooperate!

How about it?
Emma: norman.
Wait a sec.
I wanna make sure of something.
Krone: what is it?
Krone: how can we be sure
You're not gonna
Betray us in the end?
Krone: are you saying
You don't trust me?
Emma: answer!
( Krone scoffs )
All right.
If ray goes
And tattles on me to mom,
You can destroy me.
Meanwhile, if I tell mom that
Ray's acting as a double agent,
Then all of you
Will go down with him.
So, you see,
Neither of us will snitch,
Because we can't.
Do you trust me now?
( Emma sighs )
Yeah, sure.
Krone: I guess
We have a deal, then.

And yet this is just
So she can have a better life.
What a monster.
She doesn't care
If any of the kids here
Live or die at all.
Gilda: she said
She won't ship us, though.
Norman: what she meant
Was she can't.
If she really
Wanted us to escape,
Then she would have
Quietly helped us.
The only reason
She's showing us her cards
Is to try to gain our trust.
Don: what's the point
In doing that?
Norman: it's all so she can get
Solid evidence of our rebellion.
In other words,
She's in a position
Where the higher-ups
Won't trust her
Unless she has proof.
She doesn't have the power
To ship us out like mom does.
- Gilda: evidence?
- ( Don gasps ) wait.
What happens if she finds
The rope we hid in the tree?!
Norman: it's fine.
Explaining the rope is easy.
We can say we were gonna use it
For a game, but if we--
Ray: if she finds the tools
To break the trackers,
Then we're done for.
Norman: that kind of evidence
Would be hard to explain.

Ray: no need to worry.
I'm not gonna let that happen.
I'm not finished
Making it yet, anyway.
Norman: that won't be an issue
If we can convince her
That we don't know where
They are or how to break them.
I'm sure sister krone
Would believe us
If we play our cards right.
Gilda: you're going to her room?
You're dealing
With sister krone here.
It's nice she offered
To give us information, but--
Don: hang on.
Why are we cooperating with her?
Does it give us an advantage?
Norman: if we
Use her effectively,
We might learn something useful.
Additionally,
It'll keep her out of the way
