Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children Page #6

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.

It's getting dark. You won't even

be able to see their shadows.

We have to stay inside.

It's the only place we stand a chance.

He's quite right. Now, where does

Miss Peregrine keep her weapon?

In there. Let's go.

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. Get away.

Here.

Jake, I think tonight

you better answer that.

- Hello?

- Hello. This is Abe. Who is that?

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.

- Come on!

Take her!

Go! Go! Get out! All. Come on.

Alright... Crap!

It's almost reset.

- Fiona, is there anything

you can do with that tree? - Yes.

Be careful!

We're going through the windows.

Let's go! Quickly!

Come on!

Claire! Come on down.

Be careful!

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 Peregrine?

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.

It's only six months old.

January 11th, 2016.

With Miss Avocet gone

it can't be reset.

Once the loop closes?

Then it's back to real time.

- Jake, you know what this means, dont you?

- You're going to die.

That's 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.

Wait... Will you still be 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, have we found Miss Avocet's

loop on the map yet?

It's here, but it's new,

she made it earlier this year.

It's 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 already dead.

Miss Avocet said the machine is in

the cellar of the Blackpool Tower building.

That means we'll be

indoors with Hollows.

No, we won't! I've got a plan,

but I'm going to need your help.

GHOST TRAIN:

- This can't be it, can it?

- Loop entrances can be anywhere.

The one in London

was in a subway tunnel.

- Sure, this is it?

- I think so.

- Millard, there's something I need

you to do first. - Alright, I know.

- Look! There's the tower. It's not far.

- Easy for you say! I'm freezing.

Ready?

THE BLACKPOOL TOWER

All the doors to the cellar are locked.

The only way to reach the Ymbrynes is...

- That's backstage.

- How many Hollows can you see?

Four. It's 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 Peregrine.

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 want 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.

That's 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.

Let's get this over with.

Jake, I'm stuck!

Hurry up!

They are coming!

Let's go.

Enoch, now!

Go, now!

Can be seen now.

Phase two.

Emma! Go!

Don't just stand there!

Get them!

Alright, good job guys.

It's time for Step 2.

Save the Miss Peregrine.

That's... sort of step 3.

First we've got to deal with Barron.

Come on.

- They should've been back by now.

- I said it was a trap.

If that's 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 will not stand idly by

to see my destiny derailed.

Hugh, do it now!

Come back here!

Get them!

Look, 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

your 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
