He eats children.

Oh. Did your daddy

tell you that?

Have you ever seen him,

a Wildling?

In my dreams.

Listen, Anna

I've been to a lot of places

and I've never seen

a Wildling before.

It's okay, you're safe here.

You get some rest.

You've had a long day.

Goodnight.

[creature growling]

[instrumental music]

[music continues]

[creature growling]

[girl groaning]

Hey.

Good morning.

You okay in there?

It's 7:
00,

time for breakfast.

[water running]

Whoa!

[chiming]

[instrumental music]

[music continues]

We only moved here

for Ellen's job.

Right after our parents died.

If we were still in the city

we'd be taking the subway.

No, subway sucks.

No cell phone signal

anywhere, ever. Sucks.

Only one single chain restaurant

and that's Dairy Queen.

Sucks.

I told you.

They're not hamsters.

A -- and they're not

babies either.

No.

[chuckles]

Do you wanna see where

you really came from?

Well this should give you

the general idea.

[woman moaning]

[man moaning]

[light growling]

[light growling]

Got a little something for you.

You know that's what you use

when you're bleeding down there.

So it's medicine?

No. No, no,

you're not sick.

You're a woman.

[audience cheering]

[gunshot]

Wooh, go Lady Grizzlies!

Do you know

where the library is?

- Yeah, I'll show you.

- Get all those girls back to the start.

The party is this Saturday.

It's at my house.

So you should definitely come

'cause you'll get

to meet everyone.

- Gonna be super fun.

- Thank you.

Bye.

Bye.

[instrumental music]

[growling]

Oh, God, really?

Yeah, I mean probably.

She's barefoot.

[girls laughing]

You think she's the girl who was

kept in her father's attic?

Oh, my God, really,

like a sex slave?

Yeah.

She must be retarded.

Uh, hi.

Excuse me, miss. Hi.

You lookin' for something?

I'm -- I'm looking for Ray.

He was supposed to meet me at

the library after school

You know you should

really be more careful

there's like broken glass

and sh*t.

[coughs]

We might be

able to help you out.

[knock on door]

Come on, let me out!

Whatcha think?

Sure.

You guys are so hilarious.

Ray, you never told us

you had a girlfriend.

- I don't.

- Well, then what are you, f***-buddies?

- Leave her out of this.

- Hey, buddy.

You forgot something.

[grunting]

Who's smokin' pot?

- No one.

- Oh, good boy.

That's a good boy.

- Make sure he remembers that.

- Mm-hmm

[grunting]

Hey, that was very impressive.

What's your name?

You're not doing me any favors.

[instrumental music]

[music continues]

[music continues]

[instrumental music]

[bell ringing]

You always go up like this

against the grain.

My dad taught me how to do this.

He used to shave every

single day of his life.

Not his legs.

His face.

Anna, there is something

that I need to

talk to you about.

Those DNA tests came back.

They show that Gabriel Hanson

is not your real father.

He's not your daddy.

What?

Do you remember what I said

about moms and dads?

Everyone has 'em.

Yeah.

We're still not sure

who your real mom and dad are.

I don't think

the state's gonna let you

stay with me forever.

We're gonna have to find you

a more permanent home.

[crickets chirping]

You can't escape so easily.

The test is Monday

and you've only gone through

half of your stuff.

So?

What do you know about the

Declaration of Independence?

Come on, if you flunk this

Ellen is gonna kill me.

Have you ever been

to the Northern Lights?

No, you can't see

them from here.

Why?

'Cause they're really,

really far north

where there's no more people.

[instrumental music]

I'd actually like to see

the Northern Lights too.

My mom..

She showed me pictures

when I was like... this.

Uh... what are you doing?

You smell.

I smell?

Like a hamburger.

I've never got that one before.

What's that?

What?

There.

I think Jen is having a party.

I know Jen.

How do you know her?

She's my friend.

Hey, where you guys goin'?

To a party.

Uh, you don't wanna

party with me?

I thought we were gonna

fire up the grill.

Yeah, but couldn't we

do that tomorrow?

- Yeah, sure.

- Well, why don't you come to the party?

Oh, I don't think Ellen would

wanna come to this kinda party.

- What kind of party is "This kinda party?"

- It's at Jen's house.

Yeah, were gonna be home

before midnight.

[indistinct chatter]

[doorbell rings]

Hi. Who are you again?

Anna.

- Anna. Come on in.

- Thank you.

You're with a girl.

Good for you.

[indistinct chatter]

[screaming]

The voice in my head

The voice in my head

The voice in my head

[indistinct chatter]

Hey, buddy.

Why didn't you bring your mommy?

She's my sister, a**hole.

Oh, wow, I didn't know you

could fart out of your mouth.

Hidden talents, man.

Hidden talents.

[laughs]

The voice in my head

The voice in my head

The voice in my head

The voice in my head

Here.

Don't drink it too fast.

That's great.

[upbeat music]

[indistinct chatter]

[indistinct singing]

[screaming]

[instrumental music]

[music continues]

[indistinct singing]

[indistinct chatter]

Anna.

Anna, what's the matter?

Anna, I can take you home.

Come out and let's go.

Anna?

Anna, can you please

open the door?

[instrumental music]

[loud twig snaps]

[light growling]

[intense music]

[growling]

[snarling]

[screams]

[gasps]

[panting]

[roaring]

[choking]

[instrumental music]

[panting]

[door closes]

[music continues]

It's made

so that the Wildling

will get hurt

if he tries to get in.

Why does he wanna get in?

Because you're

the last one left.

He ate all the other children.

[howling]

[indistinct chatter]

[light growling]

Anna!

Are you okay?

Where have you been?

Anna, did someone hurt you?

Come.

Ray and I have been looking

for you everywhere.

Anna, listen, I..

I want you to know that

you can trust me, okay?

You can tell me anything.

I really need to know

what happened last night.

Where you've been and what

happened to your dress.

Did someone try and hurt you

or touch you in any way?

[light growling]

[knock on door]

- Roger.

- You need any help with her?

No, I'm fine, thank you.

Well, here's the thing.

Richard Fuller just called

and his 18-year-old son Lawrence

was also at that party and

he didn't come home either.

He was last seen

around 11:
00 p.m.

Tom and I asked the kids, but no

one seems to see him leave, so..

Well, I, I thought maybe

we should ask her.

I think you should let me

handle that.

Anna, you need to talk to me.

Anna, you need to tell me

what happened

at that party last night.

You don't wanna be painting

your nails right now.

I'm trying to help you.

- I can't help you if you won't talk to me.

- Ellen.

What's going on?

Are you okay?

Ray, what do you know

about Lawrence Fuller?

You mean besides

being an a**hole?

Well, that a**hole is missing.

You think that Anna has

something to do with this?

I -- is that what's

going on here?

I want her to tell me

where she was last night.
