- No, not Morgan. I mean from my eldest son, Saul.
- Saul?
- They didn't tell you about Saul?
- Saul is the worst, you know.
- We have to watch him because you see, he wants, he just wants to destroy, to kill. Poor Saul.
- I know where he is. He's upstairs behind that bolted door, isn't he?
- Saul is why we have to keep Morgan.
- But isn't he safely locked in?
- Yes, but you see, if Morgan is bad, I think he might open the door.
- Philip, what if he's come to?
- Wait here, I'll go down and look at him.
- He's gone upstairs. I heard him. He's gone to let Saul out.
- Wait for him downstairs and kill him.
