♪ ♪

- Male: Good evening.

- ( Norman gasps )

Man: Nice to meet you, Norman.

♪ ♪

Isabella: Ah, you’re early.

Man: Yes. I was excited

to meet the young man.

Isabella: Norman,

this is Mr. Ratri.

From now on,

he will be your father.

( Ratri laughs )

I’m a little too young

to pass as your father.

Just call me Peter,

not Mr. Ratri, okay?

And if you’re up for it,

I’d like you to help me

with my research.

Norman: Research?

Isabella:

Aren’t you thrilled, Norman?

Now you can study

to your heart’s content.

( Norman gasps )

I love you so, so much.

I hope you’ll be happy

in your new home.

Researcher: Today

the problems you’ll be seeing

are a little more difficult.

The number to solve

and the time limit

are the same. Understood?

- Norman: Yes.

- ( chime rings )

Researcher: Let’s begin, then.

Here’s the first one.

( buzzer )

( scanner warbling )

( buzzer )

Researcher : How’d he do?

Researcher :

He answered them all,

no mistakes. A perfect score.

We’ve raised

the difficulty level every day,

but he hasn’t given

a wrong answer yet.

Researcher :

Grace Field’s testing

was already

at the highest level.

Our tests are

even more challenging,

but they still

can’t effectively measure

the limits of his intelligence.

No wonder he was selected

to come

to Lambda Seven-two-one-four.

He is special.

( scanner beeps )

Peter: So how’s he doing?

Researcher :

His numbers are off the charts

on every test so far.

( Peter chuckles )

So the Farms have produced

their first genius, eh?

At long last,

my plans for Lambda

have found the perfect specimen.

The era of James Ratri

as the gatekeeper

has come to an end,

and from this moment on,

I’m in control of all

the children in the farms.

Whatever hope they had

is now gone for good.

( Norman gasps )

Uh, eh?

( Vincent gasps )

( chuckles )

( Norman chuckles )

♪ ♪

( footsteps echoing )

( coughing )

Escape’s impossible,

but I don’t care.

I swear I’ll live.

I’ll escape.

I will survive

and see Emma and everyone a--

( gags )

( coughing )

( gasping )

( growls )

I don’t have much time left...

but I will.

So far, I’ve found

six cameras in my room.

There are staffers at night.

I have expl*sives now.

Soon I’ll have the parts

to make detonators.

( chair rattles )

- ( both panting )

- ( alarms blaring )

( alarms continue )

( alarms stop )

- ( door opens )

- ( both gasp )

Norman: Come with me.

( Cislo stammers )

Barbara: Are you a god?

( Norman chuckles )

( flames crackling )

This is all the data?

It’s not much.

But it’s enough

to start tests on you.

In a short while, your kind...

will be made extinct.

Before I die...

I’ll make this world safe

for Emma and the others.

Don: Where do we start looking?

Ray: We have to think

like they would.

We know

they don’t want to be tracked.

Emma: Right, so they’d avoid

the kind of trails

other demons might use.

Gilda: They’d also be thinking

about escape routes

and avoid places

that didn’t have any.

Don: Good point.

Emma: So a place with decent

cover and escape routes.

Ray: All right,

let’s try to get there

while it’s still light out.

Don: Hey, I found some tracks!

Gilda: No, it’s not them.

These are too big to be Mujika’s

and too small to be Sonju’s.

Ray: You’re right.

Besides, they’re so careful,

they wouldn’t leave their tracks

without covering them.

And the way

these tracks are spaced,

this thing has six legs.

Don: So it’s a wild demon,

but a small one.

♪ ♪

( wings flutter )

Gilda: Look! Birds!

Emma: Their favorite kind!

Ray: If they’re hunting them,

they’d want to be

in a wide-open space.

Don: Okay, that’s huge.

Ray: And there’s a bunch of ’em.

There’s probably a nest

around here somewhere,

so stay alert.

Gilda: Or maybe

we could just leave?

( rumbling )

( demon shrieks )

( growls )

( growling )

♪ ♪

( Ray sighs )

Sun’s down. We should

find someplace safe to camp.

Emma: We couldn’t find

any trace of them at all today.

Don: That’s okay!

We still have

four days to go, right?

( bottles rattling )

( insects chirping )

Gilda: So what do we do

if we can’t find them in time?

The further we go,

the longer it’ll take

for us to get back

and stop Norman.

Ray: Yeah, but if we

can’t find ’em, that’s it.

Without Mujika and her blood,

we can’t prove

our idea will work,

and then there’s

no stopping Norman.

Don: Perfect. I wonder if we

just ask him to stop, maybe--

Nah, who am I kidding? He won’t.

( Emma sighs )

The more I think about it,

the more I think Norman’s

not telling us everything.

Don: So what do you

think he’s hiding?

Emma: I don’t know.

That’s the problem.

Ray: He’s definitely in a hurry.

Emma: Yeah. We have

to find Sonju and Mujika

for the sake of all the demons,

as well as Norman.

( bird squawks )

( wind blowing )

Mark: Two more days to go.

Alicia: Don’t worry.

They’ll find ’em.

- Dominic: Yeah!

- Yvette: They have time!

( insects chirping )

Ray: There’s one place

we haven’t looked yet, there.

Gilda: Looks like

there’s a little lake,

so there’s probably a lot

of wild demons there, too.

Emma: Yeah,

but we have to check it out.

Ray: The demons from

the village wouldn’t go there,

so it’s a perfect hiding spot.

( birds squawking )

Emma: You see that? There were

young birds in that flock!

Gilda: Yeah.

Maybe there’s a nest nearby.

( Emma grunts )

( gasps )

Guys, look!

Gilda: I think those belong

to Mujika’s horse!

Don: Yeah, and they’re fresh!

Ray: Come on! Follow ’em!

Emma: Mujika, Sonju...

I hope it’s you.

( footsteps crunch )

( joints creak )

( demon hisses )

Norman: You and Ray are kind,

but kindness

can’t survive in this world.

If I hadn’t gotten shipped out,

you wouldn’t have

been able to escape.

There was no other way.

There never was.

I won’t hesitate.

I can’t.

I’ll save all of the children.

And to achieve that,

I’ll do whatever I have to,

become a god or a devil, Emma.

Don: Oh, crap.

It’s already dark.

Gilda: The tracks

don’t go any further than this.

Emma: That means they’re

here somewhere, close by.

Ray: We’re gonna find ’em, guys!

Don: No sweat!

We have another day to go.

( demon roars )

Gilda: Emma!

Emma: I’m okay!

- ( demon hisses )

- Don: Uh-oh.

( arrow whizzes )

Emma: I can lead this thing

away from here!

Keep searching!

( demon warbles )

( hissing )

Ray: Emma!

- ( chorus vocalizing )

- ( demon shrieking )

Sonju: Something big

came through here.

Let’s go before it comes back.

Mujika: Yes, let’s.

( grunts ) Sonju...

look!

( demon shrieking )

( warbles )

( groans )

( Don gasps ) He got it!

( Emma panting )

( chuckles )

( Ray panting )

- Emma!

- Eh?

( rumble )

Mujika: Emma! Are you hurt?!

Emma: Mujika!

( crying )

Thank goodness! We found you!

Ray: How’d the two of you

know we were here?

Mujika: This.

( Emma gasps )

Your amulet. Of course!

Sonju: What happened with

that place you were heading for?

Wasn’t it there?

Don: No, we found it okay,

but we don’t have time

to tell you about it!

Gilda: You both need

to come back with us right now!

Sonju: All right, calm down.

Why are you here?

Emma: Sonju, Mujika,

you’re the only ones

who can help us stop

something bad from happening!

Mujika: Emma.

Yes, of course. We’ll help you.

Gilda: Oh, thank goodness.

Don: Yeah. For a second there--

( expl*si*n rumbles )

Emma: Wh-What was that?!

( Ray gasps )

Emma: Oh, no.

Norman.

Thoma: The village is burning.

Lannion: You don’t think...

( both gasp )

Demon: What was that?!

Demon :

The whole town’s on fire!

( demon wails )

Child: Daddy!

( demon groaning )

Mother: No, wait!

Please don’t k*ll him!

- Darling...

- ( demon grunting )

Mother: What’s happened to--

Vincent: Based on the rate

they’re degenerating,

the time it takes

for the drug to work

is exactly as you estimated.

Norman: Perfect.

Vincent: The experiment worked.

Now we’re ready to destroy

their entire species.

Norman: I’m sorry, Emma.

By the time you get back here,

it’ll all be over.

( demons yelling )

( child coughing )

Have... to run.

Gilda: No! He said

we had ’til tomorrow.

Don: He didn’t care

if we made it back.

This was his plan all along.

Emma: Mujika...

Grandpa. I have to find him!

Grandfather:

What is happening here?

Grandfather:

They are all degenerating.

Emma!

Grandpa! Where are you?!

Norman: I’ll k*ll you...

and every one of your kind.

Grandfather: Speak up, child!

Where are you?!

Emma: Grandpa! I’m right here!

Grandfather: Emma!

Emma: It’s a human.

Grandfather: A human?

That is what you are, yes?

Grandfather: I knew your kind

would come

seeking revenge one day.

Too late.

Can’t turn back.
