"You ever feel like nothing you do matters?" "You leave footprints on the beach and somehow they are gone." "Like its just today, over again." "They say that your teen years are for making friends and having fun." "Which made me feel even worse." "Hey, Amy." "It's Jake." "I'm in your math class." " Hey do not forget your adult diapers." " Yeah right." "Jake." "Its a phone for you." "But that day, everything changed." "Thanks for the ride, Shelly." "How come you have to go deal with your grandpa?" "My dad, couldn't get out of work" "I didn't think he worked." "You know, I'm..." "I'm just gonna call grandpa." "Hello, this is Abe." "Hey, it's Jake." "No, don't come here." "Listen to me." "Its not safe!" "Stay away." "Grandpa, did you take your pills today?" "The Key!" "To my gun cabinet..." "it was in the drawer." "And now its gone!" "Yeah, Dad took it." "Alright?" "For safekeeping." "It's okay." "Your father wants, I should to fight them without a gun?" "!" "God bless him." "Whats his deal?" "Alzheimers?" "Dementia." "That guy gave me the heebie-jeebies." "Holler if you need me." "Grandpa!" "Shelly!" "What's going on?" "Someone broke in!" "I have a .38 in my car, you wait there." " 911, what is your emergency?" " 911?" "Yeah I..." "I need the para-medics to 2040 Palm Circle." "My grandpa..." " Grandpa?" " You have to get away from here." "Please, listen." "Go to the Island..." "Sir, the paramedics are on there way." "Find Emerson..." "The postcard..." "Go to the loop..." "September 3rd, 1943." "Its okay, just... just don't move." "There's an ambulance coming." "I know you think I'm crazy." "But the bird will explain everything." "Will you do this Tegrisco?" "Promise me?" "I promise, yes.." "I thought I could protect you." "I should have told you years ago." "Grandpa!" "Tell me..." "tell me what?" "GRANDPA!" "Shelly behind you!" "There was no one there." "May I say Jake... that considering this was only a month ago" "I think you're doing exceptionally well." "Apart from being crazy?" "Having nightmares and anxiety doesn't make you crazy." "And what about seeing things which aren't there?" "Actually in dramatic situations its not at all uncommon." "Your subconscious mind draws an image from a movie, or..." "It was a story." "My grandpa told me stories when I was a kid." "About monsters that he fought in the war." "So there you go." "He was brutally attacked." "And in your head the man who did it was inhuman." "A monster." "It wasn't a man though." "The cops said that dogs scratched up the screen door." "And he chased them off into the woods." "And the coroner said he had a heart attack." "And the cops said dogs went for the soft parts." "The DNA had wounds of animals so that's case closed." "He sounds like an extraordinary gentleman." "Were you very close?" "Puerto Rico." "Here." "There is a lake where the water glows in the dark." "And a secret tunnel." "That's where I hid from the monsters." "He used to babysit me a lot." "And when I was with him I felt special." "Abe." "Its like 11 o'clock." "What is he doing up?" "I'm going to be an explorer." "Grandpas told me about my first voyage." "Everything has already been discovered, buddy." "Pay no attention to your father." "He knows bubkiss." "Come tegrisco... off to bed." "Can you tell me a story." "The usual?" "Okay." "Once upon a time there was a little boy where's the pictures?" "Pictures." "Once upon a time a little boy called Abe." "That was you." "That was me and he lived in a lovely children's home on an little island near Wales." "Where the sun shone every day." "The Headmistress, Miss Peregrine..." "Was very clever." "And she smoked my pipe." "She could turn into a bird." "It was a home for special children." "Like Bronwyn... and Victor." "They were both as strong as ten men." "And Hugh" "Hugh had bees living inside him." "Where is Emma?" "She could float." "She was lighter than air." "She had to wear special shoes made of lead to keep her from floating away." "Where is she now?" "She's still on the Island, I believe." "My mom and papa sent me there, to live with the special children." "And now Tegrisco time to sleep." "He used to call me Tegrisco." "Its Polish, for little tiger." "Couldn't have picked a less appropriate nickname," "I was always a chicken." "Why your mom and dad send you away?" "Where we lived in Poland, it was not safe." "There were monsters." "What kind of monsters?" "Huge ones." "With long arms and no eyes." "And tentacles like this." "The dumb thing was, for years I actually believed his stories." "This is Millard, he's invisible." "My teacher says they are trick photos." "And did you believe her?" "Dad says that you get in one of those places that you were traveling." "I would never lie to you, Tegrisco." "But you did it." "About the home... the monsters." "Dad told me." "Your father knows very well that I went to live in the children's home." "He said there were monsters in Poland." "Just not the kind with tentacles." "He said you got sent away to Wales because there were bad people." "People who wanted to kill anyone who was different" "I do not want to talk about this anymore." "He said children were special but not the way you said." "You find something good?" "Aw." "Look at that." "It's awesome." "Take that." "C'mon buddy, lets roll." "How are you so okay?" "Jake, You were a lot closer to him than I ever was." "He was a wonderful grandpa." "But not..." "not such a great dad, you know?" "Never seemed to pick a job that didn't involve late nights and long trips away though." "Me and Aunt Sussie I always kinda thought he was maybe cheating on our mom." "I am sorry, buddy." "I know how much you worshipped him but there it is." "Surprise!" "Happy Birthday." "Cousin Jake." "Jake, its great you've to come to spend the summer with us." "Wait till you see the new dogs." "Can't wait." "Its aunt Sussie." "Thought you might want to open this one." "Its from your grandpa."

"Maybe even find out what it was Grandpa wanted me to know." "But what if she's dead?" "Dr. Golan, we are very concerned with Jake's state of mind right now." "And there is no way I'm putting my life on hold to take you to Wales." "Dad could take me." "And he can even look at birds..." "work in his book." "It means you get a break." "And as Dr. Golan said." "Maybe I can move on." "Like closure." "Having an opportunity to see this Children's Home and separate fantasy from reality," "May be useful and at the very least a trip like this provides a chance to say goodbye."

"Hey that's probably where grandpa came with the tale of turning into a bird thing." "Maybe." "Maybe that's really her." ""Hey Ms. Peregrine, Its me Jake I am Abe Portman's grandson."

"Epsy Bussines." " I thought you changed that!" " No!" "No." "You did remember?" "When Lou said Epsy Bussines made it look like cracked trousers." "Yeah, But she said it sounded like a personal hygiene problem." "Wait, Are these are like nicknames or... stage names of rappers here in Wales." "Come on, Worm, show this shank how its done." "What?" "Now?" "I like to throw letters in the churches." "My father is always there, the very dog." "But no one can with me," "I will break the ice like a burning blade." "Yes, it is, it is good."

"He leaves to join the army and three months everyone he knows gets killed?" "Not even grandpa can turn that into a bedtime story." "No wonder he was scared at being a dad." "Being close to anyone." "Listen." "If you need to talk about all this with someone, buddy." "We should call Dr. Golan." "Do you mind if I go hang out with those other kids today?" "They asked." "Yeah."

"No, I'm not I'm a tourist" "I say, we should get the truth out of him the old-fashioned way." "Come on, quick guys." "I can't believe you're real." "You're all real." "We've been trying to tell you." "But I am special too." "What?" "In the pub all of you saw it." "Right?" "Everything was flying and breaking." "And that was me." "I was doing it with my mind." "No, that was me" "Miller?" "Yeah." "Are you naked?" "Yeah." "A bomb drops on you in 1943." "It is 1943" "September the 3rd, 1943." "The whole day, every day." "Its our loop." "Right on time." "Ms. Peregrine." "Delighted to meet you." "I do hope I'm not going to have the pub landlord knocking on my door with the police again?" "I've had to kill them twice this month." "Its been terribly inconvenient." "We may have broken some things, that's all." "And Olive may have started a tiny fire." "But they were going to hurt Jake." "Look at you!" "The last time dear Abe sent me a photograph, you were a just a tiny todd." "Don't you stand there, come in." "Your tea is getting cold." "How did you know about the pub?" "Your weigh approximately a 109 pounds, correct?" "Bronwyn and the twins returned six minutes after you ran away." "I think I'm missing something." "And quite apart from the fact that the perceived safety of the pub makes it... the most likely place to which you would flee?" "It would take you 18 minutes to run there." "Emma and Miller would have been moments behind with the horse and trap traveling at around 8.2 miles per hour." "Fact doing some sort of Kerfuffle in the pub and the return journey with your added weight." "You would arrive here with 30 minutes past 4 now then, do you like sugar?" "That will be enough, thank you Olive." "Nobody enjoys over boiled tea." "Let me help you, Enoch." "Do not bother." "Wouldn't want you to interrupt the tea party." "I'm so sorry for your loss, Jake." "You know, then?" "I know if Abe were alive." "You would have told me you were coming." "Shall we take our tea outside?" "Before he died he told me to find you." "There was something he wanted me to know." "He said you could explain everything." "That's absolutely true." "But there are few things I can't explain." "We are in common parlance - as peculiar" "51 seconds late, Fiona." "Sorry Ms. Peregrine." "How many carrots you need for supper?" "Just one will do." "As I was saying some people are peculiar." "Its a recessive gene carried down through families." "Yet, many generations can pass without a peculiar child being born." "And alas, peculiars have been persecuted through the ages." "Hence, we live in places like this." "In Wales?" "Anywhere will do if you pick the right day." "That's fine now, Fiona." "You see." "I am a type of peculiar called an Ymbryne." "That means I can..." "You can turn into a bird." "Well I do!" "But that's not very useful." "An Ymbryne's main skill is the manipulation of time." "We chose a safe place, a safe day and create a loop." "What do you mean?" "A loop preserves the last 24 hours." "Reset the loop and the day is yours to live in again." "Reset it daily and you can stay there forever." "Entirely safe from the outside world." "Right on time Bronwyn, good girl." "And that's why we Ymbrynes are charged with the care of the young." "And no one ever gets older?" "Its best for everyone this way" "I assure you." "Each Ymbryne commits herself to the creation and upkeep of a place like this." "A Home for Peculiar Children." "You've met the twins." "This is Claire" "Miller you've met." "And that's Hugh." "Stop cheating Hugh" "Miller thats a foul, again!" "No it wasn't!" "If you two cant play without squabbling, wish you wouldn't play at all." "Look who our referee is." "Good afternoon." "I'm Horace." "Delighted to meet you." "We sorely needed some new blood here." "Super shirt by the way." "Thanks." "You know Emma, of course." "And I think thats everyone." "Didn't Bronwyn have a brother?" "Yes, Victor's upstairs." "Wait, where did Enoch and Olive go?" "Heaven knows." "Enoch's been off ever since we went to look for Jake." "Ms. Peregrine there's a policemen at the door." "He says it's about the pub." "We discuss this later, Emma." "It wasn't their fault." "Honestly, just they were just trying to help." "Thanks." "You're not as vet as I thought." "She's not really going to kill anyone, is she?" "Not if she can talk her way out of it." "Would you help me with something." "Enoch usually does it but, like I said, he is sulking somewhere." "Is that because of me?" "He is possessive." "So..." "What you need help with?" "One of my daily chores." "Put the baby squirrel back in the tree." "What baby squirrel?" "That happens every day?" "Like clockwork." "Now, would you mind tying that rope around my waist?" "Uh..." "Yeah." "Right." "Promise to hold on tight?" "I knew we messed that up." "Abe did too... the first time." "This used to be his job" "Emma, ​​I need to tell you something." "He is dead." "I know." "Ms. Peregrine guessed and she's always right." "It's okay" "I said goodbye to him a long time ago." "Were you close?" "I thought we were." "For a while." "But I suppose not." "Can I ask, was he like you?" "He was like you." "Jake." "I need to go change for supper." "Will you be dining with us?" "I can't stay out late." "Suppers at 5:30." "Well that's pretty early." "The fact we are not all eight years of old's seems to have eluded Ms. Peregrine." "You can borrow some of Abe's clothes." "His room's in the attic" "Jake." "Come meet Enoch, properly." "Well, you must feel pretty out of place." "Don't worry." "I am used to it." "I wasn't worried." "Some advice for you though." "Man to man." "If you think you're staying just because you like Emma," "Don't bother." "You see she swore off romance years ago when she got her heart broken." "And she's never gonna change her mind." "Enoch, I wasn't..." "What are you doing?" "Isn't he amazing?" "What did you do?" "This?" "Jake." "This is not even the fun part." "Do you want to see the fun part?" "They are like puppets." "Just do anything I tell them." "It is even more fun with people." "You should have seen some of the epic battles I used to have." "At my parent's funeral parlour." "You need a necktie." "So." "What did my grandpa do when he was traveling?" "Visited other loops." "Really?" "To do what?" "Jake, there are some questions I can't answer, alright?" "So it will be a lot easier for me if you just stopped asking them." "Hey, what are you doing?" "Miller, go and put some clothes on." "Polite persons do not take the sup in the nude!" "Alright!" "You can sit here Jake." "Look at Enoch." "He's jealous." "Why would I be jealous?" "All of you can go marry Jake for all I care." "Do not be mean, Enoch." "She doesn't want to." "She's just excited to have a visitor." "Nobody is marrying anybody." "Now eat up your food before it gets cold." "Hugh." "Where's your net?" "It must be very strange for you Jake." "To meet your grandfather's friends." "Visiting another century." "There spaceships in your time, Jake." "Like the Flash Gordon books?" "Now!" "Now!" "Olive, what did I say about the questions." "We don't discuss the future here." "We enjoy living in the here and now" "Claire, why aren't you eating?" "She's embarrassed in front of Jake." "Don't be, please." "So, Jake, what is your peculiarity?" "Oh, I'm..." "I'm not peculiar." "And that my friends is why he'll not be staying with us." "No matter how hard we try to persuade him." "We've spoken about this, Jake is just visiting." "Do you not want to stay, Jake?" "Tonight or .." "Forever." "You should stay forever." "Why would he if he doesn't have to?" "He can live out there." "Grow older and have a good time instead." "And leave." "Just like his grandfather did." "Emma!" "Excuse me, where she's going?" "That wasn't nice, Enoch!" "You know perfectly well why Abe left us." "To join the army." "And then he met a lady." "And had a nice wedding cake." "And a lovely little baby." "Children!" "I know you'd all like a new friend." "But I'm sure Jake has plenty of his own back in Florida." "I think you should all get ready for movie-time while I answer that." "But you always let us stay for it." "Hi." "This is Abe." "How is everyone?" "Yours has extra marshmallows, Jake." "Miller, put some pajamas on." "It is very hot in here." "Stop moaning." "Excuse me." "My grandpa told me about this." "Horace projects his dreams, right?" "He used to listen to the radio." "Gets tedious when you know every word off by heart." "Splendid, I'll take it." "It sounds about clothes mostly." "Delighted to meet you." "Super shirt by the way." "When did he dream this?" "Last night." "Some of his dreams are prophetic." "But mostly they are about clothes." "Prophetic as in, he can see into the future?" "The Ymbryne." "Who is she?" "Mrs. Peregrine, you know her?" "Don't be silly." "Horace was just having a bad dream." "Thats all." "Thats quite enough." "Thank you Horace." "I think probably get going." "You could stay the night." "If you wanted to." "Rather than walk home in the dark." "But the island is very safe, isn't it?" "Of course" "I only meant the path is dreadfully bumpy." "Jake could trip." "Perhaps you could show him the shortcuts?" "Should he ever need to avoid..." "bumps." "Wont you stay to see the restart." "It is really quite spectacular." "What was that?" "It was my phone." "It's been dead the whole time in the loop I guess now..." "Your phone?" "Yeah, I don't like it, a telephone?" "You can call people..." "And send written messages." "Right." "You'll love this." "You can take a picture." "Press that... there... yeah." "See?" "Whats wrong?" "Its just funny to think that one day you'll grow up like Abe did." "Get married... have children." "Grandchildren." "You might even show them this photograph." "And I'll still be here." "Wha... can you leave some day?" "And live in the present if you wanted to?" "No." "More than a few minutes in your time and the years would catch up." "You'd age?" "Would... you're..." "I think it is the Ymbryne from Horace's dream." "Are you sure it's not just a bird?" "I mean, I don't know..." "wouldn't it change?" "She can't." "Not if she's hurt." "I need to take her inside." "You should go." "Please do not say anything else." "I hate goodbyes" "I'll come back tomorrow." "There's no hurry." "I'll be here forever." "Hey." "Have I been all this damn island Where the hell were you?" "I was just on my way back." "Sorry, I lost track of time." "I was having a blast with Worm... and Dirty D?" "Dirty D?" "You know what?" "This is..." "this is good." "This is healthy." "This is you're making real friends." "Doing teenage stuff." "I think this is normal." "I am sure that Dr. Golan will approve." "Hey, you American." "Get over here." "Hey look here there they are, there's D-bag and worm-man." "Did you do this?" "What?" "No!" "Of course not." "It wasn't us." "Listen Sir, I don't know what happened here but my son and his friends." "Have been together all day." "And Jake would never do anything like this." "Bollocks!" "We haven't seen him!" "You paid us yesterday." "Why would we hang out with him today for free?" "Jake were you with them or not?" "No!" "I'm sorry!" "And you don't seriously think I could do this?" "I think we're done here, sir." "Well, can pass on a message for me?" "Can you tell Dr. Golan that if she hadn't encouraged this cockamamie trip maybe my son wouldn't be mopping around all day in a derelict house" "HAVING A GODDAMN BREAKDOWN!" "Hello?" "Dad, I'm not." "I'm fine." "You're not." "You are not fine." "Jake." "Coming here was a terrible..." "terrible idea." "I'm sorry, I lied .." "Set your alarm for 8:00 am." "I want to get to the beach early." "The rest of the time left on this crap-O-island, we're sticking together." "Where are you going?" "Downstairs for a drink." "Dearest Peregrine:" "I don't wish to alarm you... but one of my informants sent me this." "It would appear that some of Mr. Barron's group were in Black Pool, England." ""If I recall, Ms. Avocet has a loop there."" ""Please warn her and suggest that she make a new one right away."" ""Well hidden."" "And take the greatest care yourself." "With Love, Abe." "January 2016." "Who is ready to hit the beach?" "Oh my goodness." "Unbelievable!" "I'm right in the middle of a nesting are?" "What kind of idiot does that?" "Actually, the main nesting area is over there." "I can show you, if you like." "It's marvelous to meet a fellow bird-spotter!" "John Lamont." "Franklyn Portman." "This is my son, Jake." "John Newmont." "That's a hell of a camera you got there." "Oh, thank you, is absolutely fantastic." "I am here to do some snaps for a book I'm writing." "So, you gentlemen are here on holiday?" "So, you are not coming to the beach today?" "What's the point?" "That guys gonna cover ****** on some big glossy book, no ones even wanna look at mine." "I might just have a nice afternoon nap." "I don't suppose you saw uncle Oggie on you travels this morning, did you?" "He's usually here by now." "I could go look for him." "You're not going anywhere" "Jake, you're back!" "Come and play!" "I need to see to Ms. Peregrine first." "Do you know where she is?" "Jake, you're back." "How wonderful!" "How's it doing?" "Emma said it was an Ymbryne." "She, not 'it'." "Ymbrynes are always female." "And Emma was quite correct." "This is Ms. Avocet." "Her loop is in Black Pool England." "That was a private letter, Jake." "Who is Mr Barron?" "Ms. Peregrine, if my grandpa was involved with dangerous people" "I need to tell the police." "To the police?" "Are you implying Abe died an unnatural death?" "I found him in the woods with eyes missing." "I'd say that was pretty unnatural." "Unless essential." "I don't discuss unpleasant matters." "An Ymbryne's is a duty to protect children, Jake." "I am not a child." "He wanted you to tell me everything." "Oh." "How frustrating for you." "Between Ms. Peregrine rules and my ******* not to scare you off." "It's like no ones telling you anything?" "!" "So why don't you then?" "It's not like you want me here." "Enoch, you can't." "You promised." "Olive is right." "However, I know someone who can break the rules." "Want to meet him?" "Enoch, do not do this!" "Please." "You didn't want us to spend time together." "That's what you said." "Well, here we all are." "Move, Olive." "If you're going to be like then I do not want to be your friend." "Enoch!" "Leave Victor alone." "It really upsets Bromwyn." "Stop fussing, Fiona." "Don't you think Jake should meet everybody?" "He's trying to frighten you away, Jake." "He was always jealous of Abe and now he's jealous of you." "Come and play with us instead" "I'd quite like to meet Victor." "After You." "Hello Victor." "I'm Jake." "I'm sorry to disturb..." "He can't hear you." "Hello Jake, I'm Victor." "Do you want to know what killed me?" "Ah, there you are." "Is he not with you?" "Its time for our daily walk." "Emma, Who killed Victor?" "Was it the people with the white eyes?" "I asked you not to ask questions." "I saw one the night my grandpa died." "If it really was one, you have to tell Ms. Peregrinee." "Could you recognize you recognize him from a photograph?" "Do you have one?" "Then come on." "There's somewhere I go to be alone." "I have things there." " Is this the place?" " No." "This is how we get there." "Emma!" "Your shoes!" "Lead shoes!" " Welcome to my secret hideout." " How?" "How did you..." "Air." "My peculiarity." "It does what I want" "Jake." "Before your grandfather retired, he asked me to keep this safe." "This is my grandpa's old map." "It shows you where the loops are." "That's him, thats the man I saw." "Who is he?" "Thats Barron." "He is the Leader." "Leader of what?" "Who are these people?" "Bad people... bad peculiars." "Abe dedicated his life to hunting them down." "These are the ones he never found." "What do you mean "hunting"?" "They raided homes." "Whole homes full of children left for dead." "Abe took lives..." "To save life's." "He only retired when you were born to protect you." "From what?" "If I tell you the rest, you have to promise not to run away." "Jake, you belong here." "You know that I don't." "I'm not like you." "I'm just ordinary." "No, but you're not." "Jake, only a peculiar can enter a time loop." "No, that can't be right." "I mean..." "I would know." "Fine." "Then I'll show you something else." "Hurry!" "You'll miss it." "Ymbrynes usually pick the perfect date to create a loop." "But Ms. Peregrinee .." "had to make this one in a rush." "Why?" "Because the Germans were about to drop a bomb on the house." "The point is, September the 3rd, 1943... wasn't perfect." "The thing that killed Victor came back." " Wait, watch out!" " Shhh, all bets are off." "You can see it, can't you?" "No one else can." "Its invisible, Jake." "That was Abe's greatest gift of all." "He could see the monsters." "We call them 'Hollowgasts'." "Hollows." "For short." "My grandpa told me about people, who turn into monsters." "Is that what they are?" "I will explain everything, Jake." "I fear its my duty now considering... but you should know that in doing so..." "I'm breaking a solemn promise." "I knew you were peculiar when you were born but your grandfather... forbid me to tell you anything." "His dearest wish was for you to have an ordinary childhood." "Well I definitely had that." "He intended to tell you the truth when you turned 18." "He hoped his bed-time stories would pave the way." "Here's my book." "Many years ago, a splinter faction emerged among our people." "Disaffected peculiars tired of living in loops." "That's Mr. Barron." "He believed that by harnessing the essence of an Ymbryne's powers, he and his cronies." "Could gain immortality and be able to live outside loops." "He devised an experiment." "He kidnapped an Ymbryne not knowing or caring whether she would survive the experiment." "But the fate of Barron and his group was more horrifying still." "Why didn't Barron turn into one?" "He did." "But years later he found a way to reverse the effects... to regain humanity." "They had become not immortal gods - but Hollows." "Invisible beasts, dangerous, cold-blooded, deadly!" "Remember I told you they raided loops?" "This is why." "Barron discovered that by consuming the eyes of other peculiars... especially children," "He began to change." "Consume enough, and a hollow can fully regain its human form." "Just as Barron and some of his friends did." "The rest of them are stuck as Hollows." "Are you saying that Barron ate my uncle's..." "He needs no more eyes himself, but I fear he led a Hollow to your grandfather, yes." "After the first attacks on Loops, we all got better at hiding ...making new loops... keeping our." "Whereabouts secret." "The Hollows grew more desperate every year and Barron wishes to help his friends." "Miss Peregrine!" "Come quickly!" "Miss Avocet's awake." "Oh Miss Peregrine!" "They found my new loop." "The children..." "I tried to save them but there were so many Hollows..." " I don't know how I escaped." " You are safe now." "None of us are safe." "They set up the machine in my loop." "They put in in the cellar at Blackboat tower." " They're still there..." " The machine?" "The experiment." "They intend to do it again!" "This time, he's using more Ymbrynes." "He still wants to be immortal." "Do Hollows only attack peculiars?" "Of course not!" "They're monsters, Jake, they'll slaughter anything in their path." "Well, some sheep on the island were killed," "You don't think they're here already, do you?" "Have you seen anyone with white eyes?" "I'm sorry children, we can't remain here." "What?" "We leave on the first ferry, off the island tomorrow." "Pack anything of importance." "I'll make sandwiches and lead you to bed." "Are we leaving for good?" "When are we coming back?" "Never." "If Ms. Peregrine's not here to reset the loop tomorrow night..." " the house gets bombed." " What?" "Our house?" "Don't cry, Miss Peregrine will find you another lovely house... somewhere else." "Once this loop closes, that's it!" "I can't get back to my own time." "You didn't seem very happy there." "I can't just leave!" "I have a family." "And you felt ordinary." "Like nothing you do changes anything." "And, now you have a chance to do something that changes everything." "Jake, were in danger... and you're the only one who can see the Hollows." "Yeah, I see them sure but, I'm not my grandpa." "I'm not and I..." "I can't fight, I can't kill somebody..." "There's only one reason that I'd stay here." "Please!" "... just go." "Jake..." "Jake, here you are!" "Thank God!" "When I heard they found a body, I freaked." " Are there stray dogs around here?" " What are you talking about?" "Its like, when they find an injured animal, they go for the soft parts first." "Same thing happened to my father." "The police are on their way." "Dad, I gotta go?" "No... you don't Jake." "If this wasn't an accident... there's a lunatic on the island." "I've known everyone on this island, my whole life except you and him..." "And he's been in the pub all afternoon." "So have I..." "I was sleeping." "What about the blind fellow?" "I mean..." "I assumed he was blind." "The gentleman with the dark glasses." "Arrived on the same ferry as me." " I kept seeing him around." " Jake!" "Jake!" " Is your son alright?" " No, he has mental health issues." " I can't..." " Let me, I run 5 K's all the time." "Hello!" "Hello!" "Is that you, young man?" "You came through?" "..." "You're a peculiar?" "Oh yes, and I'm extremely grateful to you." "It's terribly hard... to find loops these days." "So you followed me from the beach on purpose?" "Oh no." "I've been following you much further than that!" "Dr. Golan?" "!" "Sometimes when it suits me..." "the breadth of my peculiarity is purely limited by my imagination .." "The only thing I can't change... is my eyes." "Mr. Barron, How do you do?" "I saw you, at your grandfather's." "I was hoping to get." "Ms. Peregrine's address from him, but alas... my traveling companion got to him before I did... and as you know, there's no stopping a hungry Hollowgasts." "Speaking of my traveling companion..." "he's coming." "And believe me when I say to you you don't want to be here." "When he arrives." "So, lets be on your way..." "shall we?" "I mustn't forget our calendar." "Could you fetch it from the parlor please, Miss Avocet?" "Go and help the others." "Miss." "Peregrinee what a pleasure to meet you, at last!" "May we come in?" "Children, would you make your way down the stairs please?" "I give the orders in this house, Mr. Baron!" "Not today." "You should know that Jake has served his purpose." "If you value his life" "I suggest everyone does as they are told!" "Children!" "Shush!" "No one tells my children what to do." "Children come down here, please." "Ms. Peregrine..." "I thought I told you to be quiet!" "Children, for jake's safety, we are going to do what Mr. Barron asks." "He wishes to take me with him to his rendezvous in Blackpool." "So for his protection, he would like me to assume bird-form, preferably caged..." "And he'd like you to make your way into a lockable room, such as the parlor." "As he wont release Jake if he fears an attack could be mounted upon him once he loses his leverage." "Correct, Mr. Barron?" "You are sacrificing yourself and all of us... for Jake?" "Mr. Barron travels with a Hollow, Enoch." "Once it arrives here, we're all dead." "Enoch, only Jake can see them." "She means he's our only hope." "It's been my privilege, to care for you all." "Goodbye!" "My children." "Now, let him go." "Promise me one thing, Jake." "That you will try to look after them all." "I Promise." "Its getting dark." "You won't even be able to see their shadows." "We have to stay inside." "Its the only place we stand a chance." "He's quite right." "Now where does Miss." "Peregrine keep her weapon?" "Now... all right children." "Make sure all the doors are locked and the windows are latched." "Everything must be sealed up tight." "Now quickly, quickly go." "Jake, I think tonight you better answer that." "Hello?" "You... you don't know me." "I'm Jake." "Ah!" "You're new." "Well, welcome to the family Jake." "Now I can't talk long, so just tell Miss Peregrine that I'm at the airbase, and I'm fine." "I just wanted to say that, I miss you and if I disappointed you, I'm sorry... and you're the best grandpa in the world." " Fiona!" " Got it!" "Miss." "Avocet!" "Now children, now that you are all here, there's a few rules." "Your primary job is to stay safe." "Leave the Hollow to me." "I don't want to see any heroics." "Now, those of you with garden tools, I must insist that you..." "No Enoch!" "Get back!" "Go!" "Get to the attic." "Take her!" "Go!" "Go!" "Get out!" "All Come on." "Alright... crap!" "Its almost reset." "Fiona, is there anything you can do with that tree?" "Be careful!" "We're going through the windows." "Lets go!" "Come on!" "Claire!" "Come on down." "Go Fiona!" "Let's move on!" " What was that?" " The loop closing." "It is gone." "I'm sorry Jake?" "What do we do now?" "Is there any sign of Barron..." " and Miss." "Peregrinee?" " Gone." "Barron must have had a boat." "Well, we have to go after them." "We know he is taking her to Blackpool." "But Blackpool is miles away, and the next ferry doesn't go for hours.." "We'll never make it in time." "Not unless we go by boat too!" "So there's a loop here in Blackpool, its only six months old." "January 11th, 2016." "With Miss." "Avocet gone..." " It can't be reset." " Won't the loop closes?" "Then its back to real time." "Jake, you know what this means, don't you?" "You're going to die." "Thats not what I mean." "We have to get to our own time." "But you don't." "You can continue to live in 2016." "But why would I do that?" "If we kill Barron, he'll be gone but time will carry on." "He won't go to Florida," "Abe won't die and you can go home." "I can see my grandpa." "Listen!" "I can explain everything to them." "I can persuade them to take me to the island." "Will you still there?" "Our old loop's gone... for good." "We wouldn't see each other again." "I thought you wanted me to stay" "I know you'll choose Abe." "If I minded I wouldn't have told you." "So, we found Miss." "Avocet's loop on the map yet?" "Its here, but its new, she made it earlier this year." "Its my year." "If we don't get out before it closes, we're stuck in January 2016." "Great!" "So time catches up with all of us, we all die except you!" "Plan?" "Loop closes at 4:30." "I mean, we need to get in, rescue the Ymbrynes... and get out." "If we're not dead already." "Miss." "Avocet said the machine is in the cellar of the Blackpool tower building." "That means we'll be indoors with Hollows." "No... we wont!" "I've got a plan, but I'm going to need your help." " This can't be it, can it?" " Loop entrances can be anywhere." "The one in london is in a subway tunnel." " Sure, this is it?" " I think so" "Miller, there's something I need you to do first." "Alright, I know." "Look!" "There's the tower." "Its not far." "Easy for you say!" "I'm freezing." "Ready?" "All the doors to the cellar are locked." "The only way to reach the Ymbrines is..." " Thats backstage." " How many Hollows can you see?" "Four." "Its good news." "I think you and I have a very different definition of good news." "It means Barron's other friends haven't arrived yet..." "Means they haven't started the experiment." "We're not too late." "Ok Emma, you ready?" "You know what to say." "Hey, Jake." "Our brethren should be joining us momentarily." "This is a day..." "Hey!" "You down there." "We killed your Hollow friend Mr. Barron and now we've come for Miss." "Peregrinee." "Bring her and all the other Ymbrines to the end of the pier in five minutes... or face the consequences." "These children must be as insane as their headmistress" "Still... the Hollows will be glad of a feed." "Where are you?" "I know you're in here somewhere." "Ah... good..., listen to me." "I want you to follow Mr. Archer... and Mr. Clark." "They are going to take you down to the pier for a little afternoon tea." "Mr. Archer, Mr. Clark, gather the Hollows and take them to the pier." "Those children killed Malphus?" "Barron has had it for Malphus since he killed Abe Portman." "Thats Abe Portman for months." "All I needed was a few minutes to get the location of Miss." "Peregrine's loop from him." "But no." "Malphus couldn't wait and instead" "I had to masquerade as a psychiatrist for three weeks in Florida." "Have you ever been to Florida?" "Did I not tell you to gather the Hollows?" "What if it's a trap?" "Of course it is Miss." "Edwards!" "But what of it?" "A couple of children against four Hollows." "Lets get this over with." "Jake, I'm atuck!" "Hurry up!" "They are coming!" "Enoch now!" "Go now!" "Can be seen now." "Emma!" "Go!" "Don't just stand there!" "Get them!" "Alright, good job guys." "Time for Step 2." "Save the Ms. Peregrine." "That's... sort of step 3." "First we've got to deal with Barron." " They should've been back by now." " I said it was a trap." "If thats true, perhaps we should move the Ymbrynes now." "You are not serious?" "Do I not look serious?" "Do I not look like a man who has trudged the globe looking for just one more eye to eat in hopes of regaining .." "sufficient humanity to return to his research?" "A man who spent years... hunting Ymbrynes in preparation for this night?" "And 2...no..3 days in Wales .." "Pretending to look at birds." "I assure you I'll will not stand idly by." "To see my destiny derailed." "Hugh, do it now!" "Come back here!" "Get them!" "Low, get down!" "You think you can stand in my way?" "You Jake, content to age and die as if you had not the gift of peculiarity, at all?" "I am a higher being." "I hold a secret to eternal life." " Sorry to interrupt." " What the...?" "Bronwyn." "You missed me again, Jake." "I take it, accuracy is not you peculiarity." "Abe was a much worthier adversary." "Don't let him get to the birds!" "You must put me in contact with your tailor." "Ymbrynes..." "Ymbrynes, here I come!" "Cold." "Wait till the blood freezes in your veins." "That was your attempt to rescue your friend?" "Was it?" "Jake!" "I'll hold him as long as I can when are you going to realise you are a terrible shot with that thing?" "Get the others, I'll meet you at the." "Loop entrance." "He's getting out." "Eventually you're going to run out of breath and it'll all be over." "Death for your beloved Jake and Miss Megan Peregrinee... and everlasting life for me." "Olive!" "Olive!" "I'm so sorry, Olive." "All these years I never appreciated you." "I didn't see how lucky I was." "I got so used to having you there, I never realized." "You never realised, what?" "Find your children." "Create new loops." "So Jake," "I see you've inherited your grandfather's peculiarity." "You're just as annoying as he was." "Speaking of Abe, if you should see him in the afterlife," "Give him my regards." "Please, we can't risk him taking you again." "Enoch!" "Where are the others?" "There safe." "Olive is leading them back to the ghost ship." "Jake needs us." "Barron's too strong." "You've lost Miss." "Peregrine." "You've lost everything!" "Its over!" "Jake?" "Jake?" "Jake?" "Emma?" "Wait, thats not me." "It is Barron." "Don't listen to him." "He is Barron." "I'm Jake." "That's Barron." "Well I got better shot than Jake." "So neither of you move till we sort this." "Listen to me." "I'm Jake." "I grew up in Florida and I wanted to be an explorer." "I never thought nothing would ever change because I was ordinary." "Thats Jake get Barron." "Wait!" "I told him all this." "She was my psychiatrist." "You deal with him." "I'll go find Miss." "Peregrinee." "Wait." "I can prove that I'm me, because I am not ordinary" "I can do something that no one else can" "I can see the monsters." "Wait, it's me!" "Enoch!" "We need to go." "The loop is closing." "Yeah." "Those of us who are leaving." "Emma..." "You love your grandfather." "There's nothing more to explain." "No, I promised Miss Peregrine that I'd look after you all and with her injured and you without a loop..." "She'll recover and until then we'll be in 1943." "We'll only age one day at a time." "Like normal people," " Which can be no bad thing." " And what about the Hollows?" "As long as they are out there, you are not safe." "We don't need you to make us feel safe, Jake." "Because you made us feel brave." "And thats even better." "Cmon guys, lets go!" "And then we said goodbye and loop closed." "I was so scared that you wouldn't be here." "I'd never see you again." "I am safe." "Let me give you your birthday present." "Grandpa, my birthday isn't for months." "For your travels." "Go to her." "Jake." "You have the map." "You can go back to 1943." "Even so, they took a boat." "I don't know where they are." "But you know where they were." "You have no idea how long it took me to get here." "The closest loop was in the California desert." "I used it to get to the Tokyo loop." "That led me to the nearest loop back in 1942, where I wound up joining the navy." "Don't ask." "Then I spent 2 months in London trying..." "Ready." "Full speed ahead!"
