so I'm sending her hot tips
(snapping) all the time.
- Does she ever reply?
- Whoa, I think I have
more than enough questions
to answer today,
thank you, very much.
(whimpering)
- You're gonna be okay, okay?
You can do this, yeah?

Testing to begin in 15 minutes.
(metallic screeching
and thudding)
- Good morning, everyone.
I hope you all had
a good night sleep.
I just want you to know
that you've all
had a great year,
and despite what happens today,
I am proud of each
and every one of you.
These questions are tough,
but they are not
aimed to trick you.
So, focus, take your time.
And no matter how
hard something looks,
there's always a chance.
- You'll have two hours
to complete the test.
No talking.
Keep your eyes on
your own tablet.
This time is an accurate test
that will determine
your aptitude.
As you know, all
grades are final.
Pick up your tablets and begin.

down, test is over.

Give him the door.

(sniffling)
You can go to the rec room now.
- [Voiceover] Governor,
Blake's on the phone.
- Oh, good.
- Blake, I just heard the
good news, congratulations.
- Dad, they took Ellie,
she's going to the thinning.
- Oh god.
I'm sorry son.
- We have to do something, Dad.
Just make a phone call,
you can say it was a mistake.
- [Governor] You
know I can't do that.
- [Blake] Dad.
- Son, we all have
to obey the law.
- I can't lose her, Dad,
I love her.
- I'm sorry, son,
my hands are tied.
(locker slamming)

Keep going.
Single file.
You, this way.
(anxious, pulsating music)
(grunting)
- [Voiceover] What
are you doing?
Get back in line.
Put that down.
(grunting)
- Run, Ellie!
Go, now!
- [Voiceover] She
went down the hall.
