1. Phil?
Copy !req
2. Shh!
Copy !req
3. Huh?
Copy !req
4. I'm playing hide-and-seek with Naila and Eugene.
Copy !req
5. Is that all...?
Copy !req
6. Well, then.
Copy !req
7. What we should start looking into now...
Copy !req
8. is the outside!
Copy !req
9. We know what's going on
inside the House, more or less.
Copy !req
10. The training's going well,
and the transmitters can be destroyed too.
Copy !req
11. That leaves...
Copy !req
12. If we can get some info about what's
outside and use it to outwit the adults,
Copy !req
13. we can make it over the wall.
Copy !req
14. Once that's done,
we've gotta scout out escape routes.
Copy !req
15. To recap, there are three phases to the escape plan.
Copy !req
16. Phase One: get out of here by crossing the wall.
Copy !req
17. Phase Two: make a successful
getaway from this farm.
Copy !req
18. Phase Three: set up an independent,
stable life in the outside world.
Copy !req
19. So far we can only be reasonably confident
in how phase one will turn out.
Copy !req
20. Right after that is phase two.
Copy !req
21. We need to begin worrying
about the outside world.
Copy !req
22. We'll have to shake off any pursuers
and make a safe getaway from the farm.
Copy !req
23. And for that, we must do our homework.
Copy !req
24. First, we need to know what lies directly outside it.
Copy !req
25. Oh, when I climbed that tree I saw
a forest on the other side of the wall.
Copy !req
26. That's exactly the kind of info we need.
Copy !req
27. We'll start investigating as soon as tomorrow.
Copy !req
28. Yeah.
Copy !req
29. Oh, can I add something else to the list?
Copy !req
30. I wanna introduce you to someone.
Copy !req
31. Whoa!
Copy !req
32. Sorry, Mom! I'm in a rush!
Copy !req
33. Look, Mom.
Copy !req
34. It worked.
Copy !req
35. Isn't it cool?
Copy !req
36. The person I wanna introduce is...
Copy !req
37. this guy.
Copy !req
38. William Minerva...?
Copy !req
39. Yup.
Copy !req
40. Who is he?
Copy !req
41. No idea, I just know that this book is his.
Copy !req
42. But...
Copy !req
43. he could be a friend.
Copy !req
44. What do you mean?
Copy !req
45. This guy's been sending
messages through his books.
Copy !req
46. Not just with one or two,
Copy !req
47. but a whole bunch of them!
Copy !req
48. Aren't these labels...
Copy !req
49. Bookplates, yeah.
Copy !req
50. It indicates who owned the book
before it was delivered here.
Copy !req
51. And what's this message?
Copy !req
52. Take a good look.
Copy !req
53. They all look like the same owl to me.
Copy !req
54. No, wait.
Copy !req
55. These circles...
Copy !req
56. Morse code?
Copy !req
57. Bingo.
Copy !req
58. Run.
Copy !req
59. Doubt.
Copy !req
60. Danger.
Copy !req
61. Truth.
Copy !req
62. But this isn't enough to go by.
Copy !req
63. Then how about these?
Copy !req
64. Harvest.
Copy !req
65. Monster.
Copy !req
66. Farm...
Copy !req
67. It's a message sent to us,
hidden from the adults and demons outside.
Copy !req
68. That much I think we can believe.
Copy !req
69. "That much"?
Copy !req
70. Unlike her, I'm a cynic.
Copy !req
71. Sure, this Minerva guy may be on our side
Copy !req
72. but we don't even know if he's still alive.
Copy !req
73. I don't think we should get our hopes up.
Copy !req
74. You're at it again...
Copy !req
75. William Minerva...
Copy !req
76. He's in the outside world, knows about this farm,
Copy !req
77. and is trying to help us, indirectly as it may be.
Copy !req
78. Yeah! Totally!
Copy !req
79. We had an ally on the outside,
and there's a chance we still do!
Copy !req
80. And if that's true, there may also
be a human society out there too!
Copy !req
81. Exactly!
Copy !req
82. These messages are only in Minerva's books.
Copy !req
83. I dunno when all these
bookplates were pasted in,
Copy !req
84. but this one was 2015 at the earliest.
Copy !req
85. I see.
Copy !req
86. Have you figured anything else out?
Copy !req
87. Like, do the books have something in common?
Copy !req
88. I don't see anything.
Copy !req
89. The genres are all over the place,
and so are the publishers and years...
Copy !req
90. But they...
Copy !req
91. Er, where are they?
Copy !req
92. I dunno what these two books are supposed to say.
Copy !req
93. I think one's a typical adventure novel,
Copy !req
94. and the other's some weird mythological tale.
Copy !req
95. This one doesn't have any Morse,
Copy !req
96. and the other...
Copy !req
97. Promise?
Copy !req
98. Why is that here?
Copy !req
99. Emma and the others must've been telling the truth.
Copy !req
100. Mom was lying to us.
Copy !req
101. None of those kids were sent to foster homes.
Copy !req
102. How do you reckon?
Copy !req
103. I mean, if they really were, it wouldn't be here.
Copy !req
104. It would've been delivered to Conny.
Copy !req
105. And it's not just Little Bernie.
Copy !req
106. Mom must've taken all of these
from the kids when they left.
Copy !req
107. And the bad guys took them all away...
Copy !req
108. Cut it out!
Copy !req
109. I think there's a hidden meaning to this.
Copy !req
110. To the one book that doesn't have
any Morse, with ripped pages instead,
Copy !req
111. and also to this "Promise" message.
Copy !req
112. You mean these two books are special?
Copy !req
113. Yeah.
Copy !req
114. I can't explain it...
Copy !req
115. But it feels like they'll have
a really important role to play.
Copy !req
116. What makes you think so?
Copy !req
117. Gut feeling!
Copy !req
118. What's with that look?
Copy !req
119. Mom...
Copy !req
120. Who is she contacting?
Copy !req
121. That HQ or whatever Ray mentioned?
Copy !req
122. Are the bad guys there?
Copy !req
123. Another thing he said...
Copy !req
124. "I've got Mom under control,
but we're done for if the Sister finds out."
Copy !req
125. What did he mean, "done for"?
Copy !req
126. Would Mom and the Sister
do something to us if we're found out?
Copy !req
127. What if Mom's actually more dangerous,
Copy !req
128. and Conny and the others are already...
Copy !req
129. Stop it!
Copy !req
130. Norman said that we don't know
what happened to Conny!
Copy !req
131. Maybe they're just hiding it from us.
Copy !req
132. They must have their reasons!
Copy !req
133. I can't trust them so easily.
Copy !req
134. After all,
Copy !req
135. they don't trust in us.
Copy !req
136. But yeah, it's worth investigating
Mr. Minerva and these books.
Copy !req
137. Just running ain't gonna be enough.
Copy !req
138. Let's find a way to survive out there!
Copy !req
139. Yeah.
Copy !req
140. Let's run away.
Copy !req
141. And let's live on,
Copy !req
142. no matter what the world has in store for us.
Copy !req
143. One moment, Phil.
Copy !req
144. I'll be right there.
Copy !req
145. I must say that I'm surprised.
Copy !req
146. It'd be one thing if it was Ray,
who's always reading...
Copy !req
147. But who would've expected Emma
to notice those bookplates?
Copy !req
148. It wasn't me, actually.
Copy !req
149. Phil noticed and told me.
Copy !req
150. Phil?
Copy !req
151. Yeah.
Copy !req
152. He was reading one of Mr. Minerva's picture books,
Copy !req
153. and Morse code happened to be part of the story...
Copy !req
154. Hey, get the plates.
Copy !req
155. Thanks.
Copy !req
156. Where are Don and Gilda?
Copy !req
157. They're not in here either!
Copy !req
158. No way!
Copy !req
159. Mom!
Copy !req
160. Oh, what's the matter,
Copy !req
161. Eugene?
Copy !req
162. You dropped this.
Copy !req
163. Thank you.
Copy !req
164. Don. Gilda.
Copy !req
165. Thank goodness.
Copy !req
166. I thought...
Copy !req
167. Where were you?
Copy !req
168. Well?
Copy !req
169. We checked out Mom's secret room.
Copy !req
170. How?
Copy !req
171. Don stole the key.
Copy !req
172. From Mom?
Copy !req
173. Did she find out?
Copy !req
174. I don't think she did.
Copy !req
175. We returned the key, too, I think...
Copy !req
176. Do you have any idea how stupid that was?
Copy !req
177. What if that room had cameras, bugs, or an alarm?
Copy !req
178. If Mom or the Sister had found out, you guys...
Copy !req
179. No, we'd all...!
Copy !req
180. Go on. Tell us what would happen.
Copy !req
181. We'd be killed?
Copy !req
182. We found Little Bernie in that room.
Copy !req
183. "We don't know"?
Copy !req
184. "Let's go save 'em"?
Copy !req
185. Like hell we could!
Copy !req
186. Because Conny...
Copy !req
187. Conny and the rest are already dead!
Copy !req
188. Sorry!
Copy !req
189. I'm sorry!
Copy !req
190. So... it's really true?
Copy !req
191. See, Gilda?
Copy !req
192. They were lying to us.
Copy !req
193. What are you hiding?
Copy !req
194. Tell us everything.
Copy !req
195. Demons?
Copy !req
196. A farm?
Copy !req
197. No...
Copy !req
198. We were raised to be eaten?
Copy !req
199. You were working for Mom?
Copy !req
200. All this time?
Copy !req
201. He did it for us.
Copy !req
202. So Ray, you knew what was
gonna happen to Conny that day?
Copy !req
203. And Emma and Norman,
Copy !req
204. you were trying to take us to a world
filled with enemies without telling us?
Copy !req
205. Screw you!
Copy !req
206. Hey, Don!
Copy !req
207. Don...
Copy !req
208. Are we dead weight to you?
Copy !req
209. Do you see us as pathetic weaklings
who need to be shielded from everything?
Copy !req
210. Weren't you actually asking us for help back then?
Copy !req
211. Was that all a load of crap?
Copy !req
212. We're not as smart as you guys.
Copy !req
213. We're not, but...
Copy !req
214. Aren't we family?
Copy !req
215. Aren't we siblings?
Copy !req
216. Why couldn't you believe in us a little?
Copy !req
217. I'm sorry. I lost it just then.
Copy !req
218. I'm gonna go cool off.
Copy !req
219. Don!
Copy !req
220. I was wrong.
Copy !req
221. This ain't right.
Copy !req
222. I'm just taking it out on them.
Copy !req
223. I'm not upset they thought I was useless.
Copy !req
224. But I made them lie to me.
Copy !req
225. I couldn't do a thing to help Conny and the others.
Copy !req
226. I'm ignorant and powerless...
Copy !req
227. I really am useless,
and that hurts more than anything!
Copy !req
228. I hate this!
Copy !req
229. I wanna be stronger...
Copy !req
230. I wanna be stronger!
Copy !req
231. I know...
Copy !req
232. You will be.
Copy !req
233. Don! Gilda!
Copy !req
234. Emma.
Copy !req
235. I'm sorry!
Copy !req
236. That was thoughtless of me!
Copy !req
237. Instead of being willing to be the bad guy,
I should've been more willing to trust you!
Copy !req
238. Let me apologize too.
Copy !req
239. Sorry.
Copy !req
240. Uh, well...
Copy !req
241. I'm sorry for hitting you and stuff too.
Copy !req
242. Are you okay?
Copy !req
243. Of course you're not.
Copy !req
244. I'm fine, don't worry.
Copy !req
245. We're sorry for being so reckless, too.
Copy !req
246. Yeah.
Copy !req
247. It's only natural that Ray would be mad at us.
Copy !req
248. We're really sorry!
Copy !req
249. Come on, Ray.
Copy !req
250. Oh, forget about it.
Copy !req
251. If the worst comes to pass, I'll take care of it all.
Copy !req
252. And I'm sorry for everything too.
Copy !req
253. Don. Gilda.
Copy !req
254. We won't lie to you anymore,
so let us ask you again.
Copy !req
255. If we mess up, we die.
Copy !req
256. The outside world might be filled with demons.
Copy !req
257. Even so, will you still run away with us?
Copy !req
258. Do you even need to ask?
Copy !req
259. Telling 'em the truth has taken a load off my mind.
Copy !req
260. Yeah.
Copy !req
261. One week until we put the plan into motion,
and things are proceeding smoothly.
Copy !req
262. The remaining question is how we get everyone out.
Copy !req
263. Norman, about that...
Copy !req
264. I came up with a way to do that.
Copy !req
265. Do you think it's rash?
Copy !req
266. Extremely.
Copy !req
267. But I think it'll surprise Mom,
Copy !req
268. and I don't see any other way for all of us to escape.
Copy !req
269. Right.
Copy !req
270. Are you gonna tell Ray?
Copy !req
271. Nah.
Copy !req
272. Is he really okay with all of us escaping together?
Copy !req
273. Of course.
Copy !req
274. Everything he did, he did for us.
Copy !req
275. For the two of us...
Copy !req
276. The two of us?
Copy !req
277. Never mind.
Copy !req
278. Don't worry.
Copy !req
279. I'll let him know at some point.
Copy !req
280. Okay.
Copy !req
281. "To prevent you two from being killed," huh?
Copy !req
282. I see.
Copy !req
283. You never cease to amaze me, Ray.
Copy !req
284. I got the stuff you asked me to.
Copy !req
285. Detergent and herbicide.
Copy !req
286. What do you even need these for?
Copy !req
287. It'll come in handy when we go scouting.
Copy !req
288. You mean you'll scale the wall that lies past
the fence and see what's outside, right?
Copy !req
289. But what about the transmitters?
Copy !req
290. We just have to make sure they don't check.
Copy !req
291. We'll create a situation where Mom and the
Sister are too distracted to check their trackers.
Copy !req
292. But how?
Copy !req
293. Ray will stall Mom for us
Copy !req
294. by leaking fake information.
Copy !req
295. You got into a fight with Norman?
Copy !req
296. Let's just say we had a little disagreement.
Copy !req
297. And? What did you want to talk about?
Copy !req
298. Norman's planning to kill you.
Copy !req
299. I suppose that would be the best way
to ensure everyone can escape.
Copy !req
300. And?
Copy !req
301. He's gathering stuff for it.
Copy !req
302. A hammer, detergent, herbicide,
Copy !req
303. and just about anything else he thinks he can use.
Copy !req
304. Does that include the painfully short rope?
Copy !req
305. Yeah.
Copy !req
306. I tried to stop him, okay?
Copy !req
307. I told him it was the wrong move,
that it was too risky.
Copy !req
308. And that's how you wound up with that bruise?
Copy !req
309. Poisoning...
Copy !req
310. Those chemicals spell trouble.
Copy !req
311. Yeah.
Copy !req
312. You're not shipping them out early.
Copy !req
313. I want to see them live as long as possible,
until the day they turn twelve,
Copy !req
314. with everything provided for them in this House.
Copy !req
315. So let's swap out those chemicals for fakes.
Copy !req
316. Do you know where they are?
Copy !req
317. Yeah.
Copy !req
318. I'll take care of it tomorrow, then.
Copy !req
319. Anything else to report?
Copy !req
320. Nope.
Copy !req
321. Is there something on your mind?
Copy !req
322. Not at all.
Copy !req
323. Oh, right.
Copy !req
324. I suppose I could tell you first.
Copy !req
325. I got word from the brass
during last night's daily report.
Copy !req
326. The next shipment has been scheduled.
Copy !req
327. There won't be a regular shipment next month.
Copy !req
328. So the next one will be in January,
Copy !req
329. on my twelfth birthday.
Copy !req
330. My turn has come, huh?
Copy !req
331. Okay, we let Ray handle Mom,
but what about the Sister?
Copy !req
332. Oh, right.
Copy !req
333. We'll be shipped out immediately
if she catches on to us, right?
Copy !req
334. Don't worry.
Copy !req
335. We've got a plan.
Copy !req
336. Can we help you?
Copy !req
337. I saw it!
Copy !req
338. I saw it all...
Copy !req
339. What you were doing last night
Copy !req
340. in the dining hall!
Copy !req
341. in the dining hall!
Copy !req
342. in the dining hall!
Copy !req
343. in the dining hall!
Copy !req
344. in the dining hall!
Copy !req
345. The ones who learned the House's secret
Copy !req
346. are Norman, Emma, Ray, Gilda, and Don.
Copy !req
347. The five of you.
Copy !req
348. So...
Copy !req
349. How would you like to team up with me?
Copy !req
350. Today's reddened sky is truly frightening
Copy !req
351. Today's reddened sky is truly frightening
Copy !req
352. Today's reddened sky is truly frightening
Copy !req
353. We would've been so much happier if we didn't know
Copy !req
354. We would've been so much happier if we didn't know
Copy !req
355. We would've been so much happier if we didn't know
Copy !req
356. Before I realize it, another warm light fizzles into the darkness
Copy !req
357. Before I realize it, another warm light fizzles into the darkness
Copy !req
358. Before I realize it, another warm light fizzles into the darkness
Copy !req
359. And with it, the gentle voices we once cherished fade into nothing
Copy !req
360. And with it, the gentle voices we once cherished fade into nothing
Copy !req
361. And with it, the gentle voices we once cherished fade into nothing
Copy !req
362. Believing in those was all I had left to hold onto
Copy !req
363. Believing in those was all I had left to hold onto
Copy !req
364. Believing in those was all I had left to hold onto
Copy !req
365. We'll pour our blood, sweat, tears, and determination
Copy !req
366. We'll pour our blood, sweat, tears, and determination
Copy !req
367. We'll pour our blood, sweat, tears, and determination
Copy !req
368. Into continuing to live our lives to their fullest
Copy !req
369. Into continuing to live our lives to their fullest
Copy !req
370. Into continuing to live our lives to their fullest
Copy !req
371. It's too late now to wish for love and happiness
Copy !req
372. It's too late now to wish for love and happiness
Copy !req
373. It's too late now to wish for love and happiness
Copy !req
374. So, move now, these clumsy legs of mine
Copy !req
375. So, move now, these clumsy legs of mine
Copy !req
376. So, move now, these clumsy legs of mine
Copy !req
377. Break free of this cage to take hold of our bright futures
Copy !req
378. Break free of this cage to take hold of our bright futures
Copy !req
379. Break free of this cage to take hold of our bright futures
Copy !req
380. Make it past our darkest fears and our despair
Copy !req
381. Make it past our darkest fears and our despair
Copy !req
382. Make it past our darkest fears and our despair
Copy !req
