Don and gilda: phil?
- Phil: shh.
- Don: huh?
Phil: I'm playing hide-and-seek
With naila and eugene.
( Both sigh )
Gilda: oh, I see.
Norman: so...
Emma: the next thing
We look at is...
All: outside.
Ray: we already got
Lots of stuff done
On the inside.
Norman: training's going well.
The trackers can be broken,
Which leaves...
Ray: learning about the outside
And outsmarting the adults.
Once that's done...
We can clear the wall for sure.
Emma: next is checking out
The escape route.
Norman: the escape
We've planned out
Consists of three steps.
One, we ascend the wall.
Two, we safely get
As far away as we can.
Three, we learn how to survive
And become self-reliant.
We have everything we need
To pass the first step.
As for the second...
The outside is key.
When we leave,
We should run as far as we can,
So let's examine and prepare.
Ray: we need info
About the area outside.
Emma: oh! When I climbed
Up a tree, I saw a big forest!
Ray: okay, but we've gotta
Confirm stuff like that.
Norman: let's look into it
Starting tomorrow.
( Emma grunts ) oh, yeah.
There was one more thing
I wanted to mention.
Norman: hmm?
Emma: I have someone
I want you to meet.
( Children chattering )
( Don sighs )
( Both gasp )
Don: oh! Sorry! I'm in a hurry!
- Mark: hey, mom, down here!

Don: look. I actually did it.

♪
Emma: the person
I wanna introduce is...
Right here.
Norman: mr. "William minerva."
Really?
( Emma grunts )
- Norman: who's he?
- Emma: I don't know.
All I know is that he's
The former owner of these books,
But I think it's possible
That's he's on our side.
Norman: what do you mean?
Emma: he's been
Delivering a message
Through the books
In this library,
And not just a few books,
But lots of 'em!
- ( Lock clicks )
- ( Both gasp )
( Both grunt )
( Door creaks )
Norman: so this sticker is...
Emma: a bookplate.
Ray: it's a label
That shows who owned the book
Before it came here.
Norman: okay,
But where's the message?
Emma: look closer.
Norman: they're all
The same owl bookplate.
Wait.
The circle...
It's morse code.
Ray: correct.
( Both gasp )
Don: eh?
( Gilda gasps )
( Foot clatters )
Don: huh?
( Matches rattle )
- ( Door rattles )
- ( Gilda gasps )
( Don gasps )
( Both grunt )
Norman: it says, "run."
And this one says, "doubt."
Then there's "danger."
And this last one is "truth."
Still, these don't mean...
Emma: hey, check these, too.
Norman: these ones
Are "harvest"...
"Monster," and finally...
"Farm."
( Gasps )
This is...
Ray: it's a message to us
From the outside,
Hidden from everybody else.
I think we can
At least trust these.
Norman: you sure?
Ray: I tend to be more
Suspicious than emma, so, yeah.
It's possible this minerva guy
Could be an ally to us,
But unfortunately we don't
Know if he's dead or alive,
So we shouldn't
Get our hopes up too much.
Emma: you're always so negative!
Norman: william minerva,
He's someone from the outside
Who's aware
That our farm exists.
And while it may be indirectly,
He's definitely
Trying to help us.
Emma: that's right!
Norman: an ally on the outside.
He might even still be there.
In which case, it's possible
A society of humans may exist.
Emma: exactly!
( Don gasping )
( Gasps )
Emma: these messages are only
In books that belonged to him.
It's hard to tell exactly when
These labels were put inside,
But at least
We know that this one
Was done after the year .
Norman: I see.
Are we aware of anything else,
Like if the books
Have some kind of similarity?
Ray: nope.
The genres are varied.
Same goes for the publishers
And years they were published.
Emma: but what about...
Uh, which one was it?
We don't understand
The morse code in these two.
Ray: one is a run-of-the-mill
Adventure novel.
The other's
A confusing mythology book.
Norman: there's
No morse code here.
As for this one...
"Promise"?
Norman: what does that mean?
Don: why is little bunny here?
Gilda: so what emma
And the others said,
All of it was true, don.
Don: huh?
Gilda: mom was lying.
No one was sent
To foster families.
Don: stop it.
Gilda: because if they
Actually had been,
This wouldn't be here.
It would have been delivered
Straight to conny.
And it's not
Just little bunny, either.
Mom took
All of these toys from them
When they left the house.
Then they were taken
By the bad people.
( Don gasps )
Hey, would you cut it out?!
- ( Wheels squeaking )
- ( Gasps )
( Both gasp )
Emma: I'm pretty sure
There's some kind
Of meaning in these two,
A book with
The message "promise"
And one
That doesn't have morse code,
But has
A few ripped pages in it.
Norman: so you think
These ones are special?
Emma: yeah. If I'm right...
Then I think
It's extremely likely
That these'll become
An important guide for us.
Ray: based on what?
Emma: a hunch!
( Ray grunts )
Emma: what's with that face?!
Don: so who is mom
Communicating with?
Is it the base
Ray was talking about?
Are they the bad guys?
Ray mentioned that he
Had mom under control
And we're done for
If krone finds out.
What did he mean by that?
If either of them catch us,
Will they punish us?
And what if mom
Is really dangerous
And our siblings are--
Gilda: stop it! Norman told us
That he doesn't know
What happened to conny!
Don: no, those three
Are just hiding things from us.
Gilda: they must have
A reason for it. Maybe...
Don: I can't
Trust them like that,
Not when they
Obviously don't trust us
Enough to tell us the truth.
Norman: I think this is
All worth looking into.
Let's learn more
About mr. Minerva.
Emma: we're not just escaping,
Right, guys?
We're gonna find a way
For us to survive in this world!
( Norman grunts )
Let's run.
Let's live,
No matter what things
Are like out there.

Isabella: just a moment, phil.
- I'll be right there.
- ( Both shuddering )
Norman: I'm kind of surprised.
I expected ray
To find the bookplates,
Since he reads a lot,
Ray: but how the heck did you
Manage to find them, emma?
Emma: oh, it wasn't me
Who noticed them.
Norman: huh?
Emma: phil was actually
The one who showed me.
- Norman: really?
- Emma: mm-hmm.
A kids's book he was reading
Happened to be mr. Minerva's,
And there was a part in it
That had morse code, so...

Don and gilda...
Norman:
They're not here, either.
Emma: could they be...

( Clock ticking )
Well?
Don: we were just
In mom's secret room, okay?
Emma: but how?
Gilda: you see,
Don stole the key, and--
- Emma: he what?!
- Norman: wait. Did she...
Gilda: I don't think
She noticed,
And we already
Put it back, so...
( Ray gasps )
That was a stupid move!
Did you not even stop to think
That the room could have
Had a camera or an alarm?
What would you have done then?
If mom or krone found out,
You two--no, we'd all be--
Don: tell us
What would happen, ray.
( Norman and emma gasp )
Don: would we all be k*lled?
When we searched
The secret room,
We found little bunny.
You kept us hopeful,
Said we'd save them...
But we can't save them, can we?
'Cause they're all--
Conny and the others are...
( Shuddering )
Emma: look...
I'm so sorry!
Gilda: then, they're really...

They were lying to us after all.
What are you hiding?
Just tell us the truth.

( Norman grunts )
( Inhales )
Don: demons? A farm?
Gilda: you're saying every one
Of us was raised to be eaten?
Don: and ray is a spy?
No way.
Norman: he did it for us.
Don: then you knew
What was going to happen
To conny that day, ray?

You guys lied
So we wouldn't know
You were taking us

Do you think gilda and I
Are so weak and useless
That we can't get by
Without you three protecting us?
( Emma gasps )
Don: that time you asked us
To help you,
I thought you were
Actually relying on us.
Was that a lie, emma?

Don: I know we're not nearly
As smart as you guys,
But we're family...
Aren't we? ( Sobbing )
We're siblings, right?!
I just want you to have
A little faith in us!

Sorry. I need to cool off.
I'm going outside.

Emma: did I not have faith?
Don: honestly, that was just me
Taking it out on them.
I'm not mad they treated us
Like we were weak.
I have no reason to be.
I couldn't do anything
For conny and the others.
I'm so ignorant and powerless.
I'm frustrated,
Because I really am weak!

Damn it!
I hate this.
I wanna be stronger!
Gilda: yeah, I know.

Sorry.

Uh, well, i...
I shouldn't have
Punched you like that. Sorry.
Are you okay?

A bad idea to act on our own.
Don: yeah. Ray had
Every right to get mad.

Please forgive us.

Yeah, I forgive them.
If the worst happens,
I'll figure out
How to deal with it.

Sorry.

Know the truth,

What are you
Gonna use these for?
Norman: they'll help out

Gilda: we're going
Past the fence to climb the wall
So that we can inspect
The outside, right?
What about
The tracking devices?
Emma: oh, well, we make sure
They don't look at them.

All we need's a distraction.
We'll create a situation where
They can't check the trackers.

Anything he thinks
He can use to get it done.

That rope from before?
Ray: yup. I tried to stop him.

It was a stupid idea.

Gave you that bruise.
Death by poison?
That could be troublesome.

Until they're
Old enough to age out.
