Gwen-- The Matriarch steps towards Beth, intimidating as ever. MATRIARCH How do you explain this? The Matriarch waves the HAND TOWEL harshly in front of Beth’s face. MATRIARCH (CONT’D) So easy to blame someone else. Take responsibility girl! Not only that, it’s quite clear you’ve been venturing into the boys’ dormitories. Outrageous! As if from nowhere, The Matriarch produces a CANE. EXT. MATRIARCH’S OFFICE - HALLWAY Robbie’s face grimaces, as Beth lets out a shriek. INT. MATRIARCH’S OFFICE The Matriarch is holding Beth’s long SKIRT up to her knees. Several RED STREAKS mark the back of her calves. Another strike of the CANE. This time BLOOD. Beth’s teeth are clenched in defiance of pain. A tear runs down her cheek. Putting the CANE onto her DESK, The Matriarch steps forward and pulls the pins out of Beth’s hair. Long dark hair falls to her waist. The Matriarch produces a pair of SISSORS. She grabs Beth’s hair, pulling it back hard. She cuts violently.

His face transforms to fury as he bolts off down the hallway. INT. OLD WOODEN CHURCH - DINING HALL (EVENING) The children are half way through their evening meal.

BETH Last year’s chilli, from the hothouse. Awesome. ROBBIE INT. GIRL’S DORMITORY (NIGHT) Slowly drawing up her blankets, Beth gets out of bed. Under her NIGHTGOWN she is wearing JEANS, has her SNEAKERS on. Strands of HAIR are left on her pillow. Beth takes off her NIGHTGOWN, puts it under the blankets, with her PILLOW, making her best impression of a human lump, and tiptoes towards the door. The DOOR SQUEAKS as Beth slowly opens it. She hears FOOTSTEPS. Waits. EXT. COURTYARD
