Tensions among the group are rising as the workload increases. A seemingly gentle man, Alistair, arrives and joins the group. Hubert, meanwhile, is feeling hard-done by and insists on better living accommodations until he discovers that Alistair is a convicted child killer named Andrew. The others question "Alistair," who admits his crime and says that he has been rehabilitated. Hubert, however, spreads panic among the others and Alistair volunteers to leave.
