"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."

"Anywhere will do if you pick the right day." "Thats 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."

"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 olds 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" "Emma ***********" "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 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 embarassed 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, ****** like 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******* 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, theres 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." "Im 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 stickin 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!" "Im 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 marvellous 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 do not 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." "Im 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. ****** 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." "Theres 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 lifes." "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 dont." "I'm not like you." "I'm just ordinary" "Maybe 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." "Now Ms. Peregrinee .." "Had to do this 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!" "***********" "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 'Holocaust'." "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 I 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 grow more desparate 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 dont 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 celler 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?" "Dont 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 it all!" "Jake, we are 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 was not 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." "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 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 travelling companion got to him before I did ... and as you know, theres no stopping a hungry Hollocaust." "Speaking of my travelling companion...he's coming" "And believe me when I say to you don't want to be here." "When he arrives." "So, lets be on your way....shall we?" "I musn'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, preferrably caged..." "And he'd like you to make your way into a lockable room, such as the parlor." "As he wont relieve 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." "Its 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." "He 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." "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 cant talk long, so just tell Miss." "Peregrine that Im 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, theres 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." "Im 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 theres a loop here in Blackpool - its only six months old." "January 11th, 2016." "With Miss." "Avocet gone... it can't be reset." "Once the loop closes?" "Then its back to real time." "Jake, you know what this means, dont you?" "you're going to die." "Thats not what I mean." "We have to get to our own time." "But you dont." "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 would'nt 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, theres something I need you to do first." " A'right, I know." "Look!" "Theres the tower." "Its not far." " Easy for you say!" "I'm freezing." "Ready?" "All the doors to the celler 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 as your principal!" "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 lttle 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!" "891 01:40:08,070 -- 01:40:09,900 Enoch now!" "Go now!" "Can be seen now." "Emma!" "Go!" "Dont 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 not stand idlly 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 it that accuracy is not you peculiarity" "Abe was a much worthier adversary." "Dont 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. 1 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?" " Safe." "All of us are on their way 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" "Dont 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 Im 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 dont 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." "Dont ask." "Then I spent 2 months in London trying...." "Ready." "Full speed ahead!" "HispaSub 05/10/2016"
