Jacob Fortune-Lloyd (0:13)

And if she burns everything down, if someone else gets hurt, what then?

Ava Hinds-Jones (0:17)

Don't worry about it.

Liz Sutherland-Lim (0:18)

Just do what I say. You don't want people finding out, do you?

Jacob Fortune-Lloyd (0:22)

No.

Tom Kiteley (0:24)

Yes, can we help you?

Ava Hinds-Jones (0:26)

They just arrived to pick up Zack. I thought you'd want to know.

Jacob Fortune-Lloyd (0:30)

Is he still stable?

Ava Hinds-Jones (0:31)

Yes.

Liz Sutherland-Lim (0:34)

Please pull up a chair.

Jacob Fortune-Lloyd (0:35)

Axel, leave her alone.

Ava Hinds-Jones (0:37)

What happened? Why did the chandelier explode like that?

Jacob Fortune-Lloyd (0:41)

Glitches.

Ava Hinds-Jones (0:42)

Glitches?

Jacob Fortune-Lloyd (0:42)

We're having some issues with this system. It's being fixed.

Ava Hinds-Jones (0:48)

I heard a woman's voice before the explosion.

Jacob Fortune-Lloyd (0:51)

You heard her voice? Charly.

I'm very grateful for everything you've done down here, but it's time for us to move in another direction. I'll look into some suitable employment for you. What?

Ava Hinds-Jones (1:06)

I don't want to go.

Joshua-Alexander Williams (1:08)

She doesn't want to go, Ed.

Jacob Fortune-Lloyd (1:09)

Quiet.

It's final. Your contract is terminated. You'll be on the next shuttle Wednesday morning. You can teach for these next three days or stay in your room. I'll pay the way. Plus severance. Now, please, if you wouldn't mind...

Ava Hinds-Jones (1:24)

Fine. I'm leaving.

Liz Sutherland-Lim (1:30)

That was interesting.

Jacob Fortune-Lloyd (1:32)

She's just stuff.

Ava Hinds-Jones (2:04)

Are you OK?

Joshua-Alexander Williams (2:05)

Well, I'm still dead last time I checked.

Ava Hinds-Jones (2:08)

I just had a feeling something bad was going to...

Joshua-Alexander Williams (2:10)

Listen, Charly, it's not safe.

Ava Hinds-Jones (2:13)

What's not safe?

Joshua-Alexander Williams (2:14)

For you to stay here. You need to get out.

Ava Hinds-Jones (2:17)

Not without... not without you.

Joshua-Alexander Williams (2:18)

Charly, don't... don't...

Ava Hinds-Jones (2:20)

What?

Joshua-Alexander Williams (2:21)

Charly, let me...

Ava Hinds-Jones (2:24)

Obi?

Jacob Fortune-Lloyd (2:25)

Obi, what's...

Ava Hinds-Jones (2:26)

what's going on?

Jacob Fortune-Lloyd (2:27)

Let me go!

Ava Hinds-Jones (2:29)

Stop it! What are you doing?

Joshua-Alexander Williams (2:32)

What's going on?

Ava Hinds-Jones (2:34)

Stop it! Stop it! Stop it! Stop it!

Obi?

Joshua-Alexander Williams (2:47)

She's after you.

Ava Hinds-Jones (2:49)

Who?

Joshua-Alexander Williams (2:49)

She's too powerful. She's destroying me.

You mean...

Ava Hinds-Jones (2:54)

Edward's wife?

Joshua-Alexander Williams (2:55)

Charly, if you don't go, something terrible is going to happen.

India Moon (2:59)

But maybe...

Joshua-Alexander Williams (2:59)

You need to get out. You need to get out.

Ava Hinds-Jones (3:02)

But maybe if I can figure out what she wants or why she's doing this...

India Moon (3:06)

Let me die! Let me die!

Joshua-Alexander Williams (3:09)

Let me die!

Ava Hinds-Jones (3:12)

Obi!

Obi! Obi, please stay! Please, please stay!

Joshua-Alexander Williams (3:18)

Please!

Ava Hinds-Jones (3:19)

Obi! Obi!

Ayrton English (3:28)

Are you really leaving this time? I don't want to be a tutor.

Ava Hinds-Jones (3:32)

You have to be educated, Huxley. It's a job not fit for man nor beast, but...

Ayrton English (3:37)

It's not that. I want to go to school.

Ava Hinds-Jones (3:40)

School?

India Moon (3:41)

With lockers, like on TV. We can't leave.

Ava Hinds-Jones (3:45)

Well, if you tell your dad that you want to go, then maybe...

Ayrton English (3:47)

No, we can't go. Why not?

Ava Hinds-Jones (3:51)

There are places on the surface where the air isn't so bad. There's even...

India Moon (3:55)

It's not about that.

Ayrton English (3:56)

We have to stay forever.

Ava Hinds-Jones (3:58)

Why? I'm sorry I was bad sometimes. It's okay. You need to look out for each other and for your dad. It's just the three of you, after all.

Is there something you want to tell me?

Ayrton English (4:16)

Popo says... Huxley!

Liz Sutherland-Lim (4:17)

Shh! What?

Ava Hinds-Jones (4:18)

What does Popo say? She's angry. With who?

India Moon (4:21)

Popo says not to go to the East Wing, but Mummy...

Ava Hinds-Jones (4:23)

The East Wing? I didn't even know there was an East Wing.

Tom Kiteley (4:26)

Huxley!

Ava Hinds-Jones (4:27)

What's there? What's Popo got to do with it?

India Moon (4:29)

Nothing!

Tom Kiteley (4:30)

Stop it!

India Moon (4:31)

I didn't mean to!

Ava Hinds-Jones (4:32)

Huxley, calm down.

India Moon (4:34)

She always does this!

Ayrton English (4:35)

She always makes Mummy angry with me.

India Moon (4:37)

Because you don't listen!

Ava Hinds-Jones (4:38)

Hey! That's enough!

India Moon (4:42)

Time for snack.

Ayrton English (4:43)

Fruit and crackers.

Danny Ashok (4:45)

In kitchen.

India Moon (4:46)

Go.

Danny Ashok (4:52)
