Man: This is William Minerva.
( Emma gasps ) M-Mr. Minerva?
Hello! Are you still there?
Man: If you answered,
I assume you’re an escapee.
- I have to make this quick...
- Emma: Right,
- but where are you? Hello?!
- Minerva: so listen carefully.
Ray: It’s a recording.
James: My real name
is James Ratri.
I used to be...
affiliated with
the farm system there.
One day, I realized
the , -year-old promise
between humans and demons
was barbaric.
That children
were being sacrificed for it
became unbearable to me,
so I decided
to do something about it.
I couldn’t break the promise,
but I figured out
another way to help.
I invented an alter ego,
William Minerva,
to hide my identity.
Then I slipped little clues
in the books going to the farms,
hoping that the children
who noticed them
would find their way
to this bunker
and hopefully
the chance to live free.
But the farms found out
I was betraying them.
I was branded a traitor
and had to run away myself
or face execution.
I don’t know how many of you
there are there,
but I wish I could have
been there to meet you.
I wish I could have seen
your faces, heard your voices.
I know you must have suffered
so much to get there,
but I’m so proud you did.
You can live here forever
if that’s what you want,
or if you want to go
to the human side,
all you have to do
is open the pen
and type
the following password,
F-U-T-U-R-E.
Future.
The people there
will take you in,
and you’ll be safe.
( clock ticking )
Emma: Mr. Minerva
was on our side,
even though he never met us.
He set this place up
with everything we’d ever need
to live here
for as long as we wanted to.
He guided us here,
and he can guide us
to the human side, too,
if we want.
All we have to do is choose.
Ray: It’s up to us from there.
Thoma: Whoever was
here before us,
I wonder if they made it.
Lannion: I hope so.

- Christie: It’s a map!
Don: D- .
It’s on the western edge.
That’s so far away.
Gilda: Right,
but who cares about that?
Emma: This is our chance
to get to the human side.
Ray: First thing, we have
to make this place livable
and start planning.
Then we’ll go back
to Grace Field
and get Phil and the others.
We’ll get the kids
from the other Houses, too,
and bring ’em back here.
Then we’ll all go
to the human world.
Emma: Mm-hmm. And we won’t stop
’til everyone’s free.
We have to do this
for the sake of all the kids
and for Norman’s.
( Ray sighs )
Emma: I promised him
that I wouldn’t let
any more kids die
and I wouldn’t stop,
not ’til I got our whole family
off the farm and somewhere safe.
And that’s a promise
I have to keep,
for him, for us,
for everyone.

Get up, or you’ll
