Hi, I'm Nadine.
What the hell is all this shit?
- I steal things. - Everyone's got their secrets.
What's your secret?
I'm Father Bryce, headmaster at Incarnate Lord.
They've had great success with cases like this.
They could learn from their mistakes.
Leave the door open if your male friends are in your room.
Don't worry.
We're all perfectly safe here when it comes
to Jake and Devon.
That's Trevor. He's evil.
The Lord brought you here so I can finally
make things right with you.
We received a new donation this morning.
- Boo! - [screams]
Oh, my God. You made my day.

- Let's just stand our ground. - Can't let anyone else die.
Now, where is the doll?
I told you. I don't know.
What happened? Did you get him?
It's okay. She's cool. She knows.
[both screaming]
[grunting]
Why didn't you kill him?
Ever since he got here, Chucky's been acting weird
and taking pictures all over the school.
He's collecting information for someone.
- [muffled speech] - Who?
That's what we're gonna find out.
Where's the doll, Jake?
I have no idea.
You have no idea?
Even though three days ago, you were locked in this office
alone with the doll,
during which time it went missing?
Right.
You know, it would be easy to punish you.
Have Trevor and the hall monitors
rip the place apart until they find it,
but I'm not gonna do that.
- You're not? - No.
No, no, no, no, Jake.
This is a learning opportunity.
I want you to have the chance to do the right thing,
because I want you to know how it feels,
how free you are to confess your sins,
and pray for forgiveness.
Lunch is almost over.
I'm sure there's some place you need to be.
Thank you, Father.
You've given me a lot to think about.
Jake...
I want you to choose the right path...
but I'm not gonna wait long.
