And send written messages.

Right. You'll love this.

You can take a picture.

Press that... there... yeah.

See?

What's wrong?

It's just funny to think that one day

you'll grow up like Abe did.

Get married... have children.

Grandchildren.

You might even children

see this photograph.

And I'll still be here.

But 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 don't say anything else.

I hate goodbyes.

I'll come back tomorrow.

There's no hurry.

I'll be here forever.

I've been all around 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...

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.

Look, 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 you 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 Blackpool, England.

"If I recall, Miss 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!

Right in the middle

of a nesting area?

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 Lamont.

That's a hell of a camera

you got there.

Oh, thanks,

is absolutely fantastic.

I am here to do some snaps

for a book I'm writing.

So, you gentlemen

are here on holiday?

Unfortunately, how it was looked

nothing as battles of the birds.

So, you are not coming

to the beach today?

What's the point?

That guy's 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

Miss 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 Miss Avocet.

Her loop is in Blackpool, England.

That was a private letter, Jake.

Who is Mr Barron?

Miss 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 duty is

to protect children, Jake.

I am not a child.

He wanted you

to tell me everything.

Oh. How frustrating for you.

It been Miss Peregrine's rules to my hostly

and this little pipe 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.

I do know someone

who can break the rules though.

Want to meet him?

Enoch, don't do this! Please.

You want me to spend time well

with him, Jake. We can all play together.

That's what you said.

Well, here we all are.

Move, Olive.

If you're going to be like that, then

I don't want to be your friend.

Enoch! Leave Victor alone.

It really upsets Bronwyn.

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. Is Enoch with you?

It's 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.

The man.

If it really was one,

you have to tell Miss Peregrine.

Could 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, that's the man

I saw. Who is he?

That's 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 loops.

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 don't. 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.

But Miss Peregrine

had to do this in a rush.

Why?

Because the Germans were about
