Roxy, Sadie, I need to teach you something really important. But honestly,
I'm worried you're going to be too excited about it. Oh it sounds
cool. No, it's necessary. I mean it might be necessary. What's
rule three of the code? No violence, no attention? This is the
ninja way? Send pie? Uh huh. First off, it'd be sen
say send pie is a different thing. Guess send pie? Corrected me.
Oo oo, Roxy, Seriously, Okay, geez, we're not ninjas.
We're kids on the street who break into warehouses. We're good at being quiet
and we can talk our way out of a lot. But if we screw
up, we need to be ready to Well. Okay, let's review the
basics first. What's the first thing you do if you're breaking into a place?
You do research with your eyeballs and see the best way to get in.
Maybe chat up some board warehouse worker and steal their keys or something good.
How do you open a padlock if you can't get the keys, always
keep a pair of bolt cutters on you. How do you move around once
you're inside? You just stash your stuff before you go inside. Don't go
stomping around people, straight up, don't notice a thing, And what do
you do if you get caught? You are not a passenger. Do you
wish to board the advent nomad? You smash them? Ticket? Please?
Roxy, You're a kid. You can't smash anyone, and you shouldn't try.
Someone's going to pick you up and throw you in a jail cell.
What you need is a distraction. A fire, fire is immediately dangerous.
Catching you as a second priority to putting it out. Just fucking certain you
know how you're escaping first. That's hardcore, Satie. I'm impressed. Sometimes
you need to be a little hardcore. What matters is that we don't get
caught and we stay together. Do what you need to to stay out of
jail, Sadie, Roxy, Was that fire because of you? What fire?
The fire the day before I was getting transferred to Julie. Oh my
god, holy shit, that fire in the kitchen was because of you,
wasn't it. I wasn't going to let them throw you in prison. I
needed to do something so we could get out of there together. Well that
was a big distraction, dude, and it worked. We slipped right out
of there and we never saw him again. Let's make sure no one ever
catches us. Okay, you just need to promise something first. You'll only
do this as a last resort, and you're sure that there's no other way,
we'll fire. I'll know who deserves it, Squad, this is a
rank. I'm inside the train. Get in position, lights out in three
minutes. Episode seven, The Burkholder men. I really can't believe it.
Oh, you're such a cute little chungis clean, aren't you? Aren't you?
Did you teach her how to do this? No? If she started
doing it all by herself. So somehow she figured out if she turns into
a trash and the ball is easier to catch, And yet when she transforms
back into a cat, she still caught the ball in her mouth. So
that must mean that she must be able to reorient her body however she wants
when she changes bad, but how to like any part of bad? She's
one of the smart ones here. You want to throw? Yeah, sure
you know the windows, guys, Archie's about to throw something. Screw you,
Blondie. You don't have to be a base baller to throw a ball.
Yeah, damn it, I mean, dang, dang it. Sorry,
Mara Archie. That was the only open window in the room. Yeah,
I know, yes, Elliott, thank you. I'm sorry about him.
I'll run outside, I'll grab it. But the oh weird cacho,
she just disappeared. Can Kat disappear? No? I mean I don't think
so. I've never seen it before. That is what disappearing means. Okay,
but I need to find Kat right now? Did you do you have
the ball right now? She's not disappearing. She can teleport. It must
be another one of her adaptations. Oh my god. So anyway, Walker's
aunt used to send them little care packages every couple of months, and it
was always just like some random junk she found at the grocery store. So
in the summer she would always send a couple of cartons of these little gray
snapper things that made a loud noise when you threw the met stuff, and
those those were the best. One day Walker brought to the school and snuck
them outside for recess. We climbed up this big wooden lookout tower and threw
them down on the pavement. When kids walked by it, oh my god,
their faces priceless. But then we got trapped up there when everyone went
inside for lunch, and we had to survive for like three days, eating
bugs and drinking rainwater before eventually someone came looking for us. Wait you what,
Oh so you can hear me? You must have just not liked my
story until I was in peril? Is that it? Oh? You're such
a good kenny. I hope we're not gonna wake up Stump with all this
screaming. Hey, it's a public train, as far as I'm concerned,
I just don't want to piss off our surly new neighbor if we don't have
to. Plus, it's after quiet time. Wow, you're even more tense
and ruly than usual right now. I just need to finish the ration schedule.
I know for a fact you're like two weeks ahead on the ration schedule.
And before you say anything, I already portioned out the rest of our
food and labeled all the containers. So don't give me any I got a
million things to do, so I can pretend I don't have feelings. Oh
thanks, Yeah, I'm pretty great. What can I say? So?
Do you want to tell me what's up with this Burkholder guy? You made
it sound like you know him. I do know him. He fucking locked
me in his house for a year. And turned my best friend into a
lackey shit head. Well jeez, okay, okay, don't take it out
on the pencil. I just want to get away from this station as soon
as possible. Burkholder is going to figure out something went wrong with taking Stump's
house, and I don't want to be around when he does. He'll send
more guys to check it out, and they'll have absolutely no trouble finding this
twenty thousand ton train just sitting here, and they're gonna murder us with baseball
bats in our sleep. Okay, okay, okay, keep it down.
Don't freak everyone out with that. Who's gonna murder us with baseball bats?
No one, Claire, That's not gonna happen. Oh, we don't know.
They won't try. Do we really have to do this in front of
the kid? I'm more mature than you. Is this about those guys that
beat up Stump? Yeah? Yeah? Do you know if the conductor is
prepping the train to leave yet? Um? Yeah, he should be.
What do you mean he should be? It doesn't usually take him this long,
as all, he hasn't been gone that long. Maybe he's just doing
some maintenance or something. No, he would have announced it. Prep only
takes some seven minutes, and it's already been like nine. Good lord,
you've been on the train for what like a few weeks, and you know
his schedule down to the minute. So what if I do. He does
the same stuff at every station. I just pay attention. Yeah, you
should try it sometime, Archie. I will spin you above my head like
I'm making pizza dough with your body. WHOA, what the hell? All
right? All right? Who turned out the lights? That's not good.
I'll go check on the conductor. Absolutely not go back to your room right
now and take more. But can I hold your hand clear? Yeah?
Yeah, that'd be smart. Come on, let's go see if Page woke
up. I'm going up front to make sure the conductor's okay alone. Oh,
we'll wait. Oh we could follow you in the wall and make sure
you're okay. No, the CAB's already cramped with two people. Even if
something does go wrong, I don't think there will be any room for you
to pop out and say the day this time, He's right, Just think
before you act. Del We're counting on you. Let's get in the wall
and keep watch right, smart, You're smart we'll be okay, Arch.
Oh god, it seems unlikely that will be the case for everyone. Page
page, Wake up, something's happening here. I've been up. Jeez,
what's a problem. We aren't sure yet, but the lights are out,
so something's wrong. Claire Kelly everyone, master of deduction. Can you just
it's good that we're all together. We're going to the cab. Wait,
we should go to Stumps room. It's right across the hall. Excuse me?
What Elliott told us to stay in our rooms and the cab is really
far we should stay in Stomps room. Okay, sure, Mar, Let's
just go wake up the person that killed a bunch of people today. Real
smart. They saved your life, Larry. Your statement doesn't cancel mine out.
So the last time you didn't feel like listening to the adults, you
got trapped in a stranger's house and you only managed to make it out because
of Stump. I that was the conductor. Will know what's going on.
We don't need to know what's going on. We need to stay safe.
Let's just go to Stone. They're all alone, Mar, just because you
brought them dinner and they didn't point a gun at you. Doesn't mean that
they're safe. You weren't there. You don't know. They're scary and kind
of confusing, but they're really nice guys. I know they'll help us out
if we ask. Can't you just guys, trush to me? Shut up,
shut up, listen? Who is that? What's going on? Oh?
My god? Who is that page? It's okay, just just breathe.
Okay, we're right here. You're okay. We're all gonna be fine,
buddy, Larry, I'm going to stumpstroump, mar No. Just how
long is this thing? It's a train? What did you expect? I
don't know. I've never been on a train link this before. Would you
keep it down? Someone's gonna hear us, yo, fuck you, last
time I checked. We don't have to take orders from you. Besides the
A rank already said that everyone's in the dining car. Man, this place
is cozy. They gotta see on this m unbelievable stump. Are you awake?
Mmmm? Kinda kinda stump. There's people on the train. I think
they are like those people that attacked your house. We need your help under
the bed. What are you okay? M morphe goody good? I heard
someone in there under lad Now, okay, yep, what happened to you?
Now wait a minute, you're that guy? The ear ranks roughed up.
Mmmmmm nice, this is going super smoothing. Okay, so if you
comply, you'll be spare, all right? Tell me Rcedie Laskin's we know
she's on this train fast. Why jeez, did they break your brain?
I can't understand a word you're saying. I said, than fast, numb
guys. The guy's back here, the guy from the guy. And look
what you boys just don't know when to click. You'll be purple as a
great before they find you. Stump, stump, stop, But you're hurting
him. That was the plan, dear, Would you do this to me?
Oh? Come on now, I mean it. Look at him.
He's only a couple of years older than me. Please put him down.
How old are you seventeen? Next month? This some bitch is recruiting kids.
Bro Golder said, I can have a room and three meals a day
if I worked for him. I just do what I'm I'm told. You
always get a choice. Didn't feel like I had a choice. It's not
his fault. Stump if Burke Holder found me and my friends before we found
the train. This could have been us. This guy just didn't have anywhere
else to go. God damn. Sit on the ground, kid, you're
still getting tied up. Just let me go. I'll get out of here.
You won't never see me again, don't you dare go making demands.
I'm being charitable by not knocking your teeth in. Now show me how good
you are doing what you're told. That strange fellow better have more linens around.
I'll get to tying this guy up. Thank you know someone's in the
cab. I'm just letting you know. I'm a huge This is gonna end
very poorly for you. Do us both a favor and a run for the
woods. You know I crushed a guy's skull with a table like woods.
I brought a bat with me this time. Just imagine how much worse that's
going to be for you. I bet I'm faster. Yikes, that's gonna
hurt. You shouldn't have gotten in the way, now, Pertha, how
are you going onto the roof? Stupid? Make sure he doesn't get up.
Wow, looks like you're all alone with us now, Blondie boy.
That sucks for you that's rock. See what you could just tell by her
footsteps. Who do you think taught her to move like that? Well?
Wait, you're gonna chase her? Answer the roof. Just stay in the
wallway and make sure the girls are safe. Can you do that for me?
I I can just please please be careful, Sadie. I'll be right
back. I hope it'd be nice to hide in these walls. Maybe I
could sleep back here. Oh, that'd be nice. These guys must be
the ones who knocked out the power telling me there's more. Look, I
ain't move them. I ain't letting these three out of my side. We'll
just have to stay in your room until the lights come back round. Mara.
Oh wait, Archie, where are you? I'm in your mind?
Maura, whoo, sorry that was a joke. I mean the wall.
There are hallways behind the walls of all the cars, secret wallways. That's
so cool. Stump, you tied up three of them already. You just
got another dose of morphine? What about two hours ago? How are you
still awake? Lucky? I guess Claren Page stayed in Page's room. They're
okay, But I heard banging around on the roof a little bit ago banging.
It wasn't footsteps, No, that was earlier. I thought it was
you and Sadie up there. Oh no, oh no, I need to
make sure Sadie's okay. Roxy, Sadie, get rid of the bat.
Please don't hurt me. Don't pull that puppy dog shit. You're here to
kill me. I saw what Burkholder does to run away criminals. Do you
think I want to do this? The world's different now, Sadie, Burkholders
in charge. Life is never gonna get easier If you can't accept that people
like Burkholder have always been in charge. He's just another rich dick ruining the
world. What are you going to try and convince me to turn myself in
so burk Holder can give me a pat on the head too? Or were
you just going to shoot me? No, this isn't like that. If
I wanted to kill you, I would have done it already. I'm a
rank I'm authorized to shoot. But that's not why I wanted to talk to
you. What makes you think I want to talk to you? I mean
you're doing it right now, wing nut. What do you want? I
just want you to listen to me. I know you're mad. I know
you want to call me selfish for taking Birkholder's deal, like I should have
stayed in that storage. Ye, but I learned a lot since I saw
you last. There's nothing noble about what we survived. Eating out of the
trash and scaling stuff isn't any more moral than what I than what happened with
Birkholder. It sucks you helped me when no one else give a shit.
I don't know why the world has to be so mean. It doesn't make
any sense. Listen. I miss you, Sadie. You've made life so
much better when you were around. You've made me feel important, and you
actually cared about me, And now nobody even knows my name. I just
want us to be on the same side again. Please, Roxy, I
wish it could be different. But I don't think you missed me at all.
You miss the way I used to do all the hard work for you,
and when I stopped being your best option, you sold me out.
Honest, I get it. You didn't want to live on the streets and
you saw a way out. It really hurt to be left behind. But
when I moved on, I met people who do care about me. The
world isn't mean. You chose a mean world and I feel bad for you.
Wow, you are the most condescending piece of shit I have ever met.
I try to be nice and let you in on how I'm feeling something
you're literally incapable of, and you feel bad for me. Life is good.
I have everything you couldn't give me. And it's not just the food.
I have power. I'm in charge now. I just wanted to help
you. You just want to make yourself feel better. I won't give you
that. Hey, what are you doing? Back off? My lie?
I am going to kill you now. Oh you didn't even notice the vent
on top of this car, did you? I just needed to lure you
back to it, and bam, who's teaching? Who? Now? Roxy?
Do you smell that? It's friar oil? It doesn't get as hot
as gas, but it burns just as quick. I figured it out,
Sadie. I finally figured out rule five. I know who deserves it.
It's me. Does that bring back memories of the orphanage, Sadie? Poetical
justice or whatever? Now you get to see how those nuns felt? Oh
my god, Sadie, Sadie, can you can you hear me. You're
gone. No, you're you're bearing the pretty car. No, no,
no, you can't die. I need you. Okay, I'm coming in.
She's unconscious, sprained leg, smoking, hilation, she's passed. Oh
my god, Sadie, I need to get you out of here. No,
no, door it's locked. I think you need to think. I'll
say verda, I'll say rah, I will I just but the doorway does
a walway go all the way back to this car? Oh? I thank
god, I'll save Rada. Sadie breathe, please, please please, she
breathe please. It's a beautiful night. Anna Lofts, late summer nights.
Sadie say, oh, you couldn't save Anna, could you? You just
wanted to save her? What's happening? Did I do this? Why do
I hurt? People? Say you think that you did this? Archie?
You saved me. I can't save anybody. I couldn't save Anna. All
I do is hurt people. I'm so happy to see you, Archie.
