Ray: So why'd you demons bother saving us?

We're supposed to be your food, after all.

( gasps )

( Emma gasps ) Wh-Where are the others?

You said you made food.

- Did you-- - ( blade clanks )

( footsteps thumping )

( Ray gasps )

Sonju: When are you going to learn the layout, Mujika?

You took the wrong tunnel again.

Mujika: I appreciate you coming to get us,

but your timing couldn't be worse.

And why are you armed?

Sonju: Are you serious?

I don't want those kids touching this.

- It's dangerous. - ( Ray gasps )

Sonju: What's wrong with these two?

They look pale.

Emma: Where are they?!

( insects chitter )

- Sonju: Hmm. - ( Emma swallows )

- ( grunts ) - Ray: Emma!

( gasps )

Sonju: Make a left at the end.

( Ray gasps )

( footsteps receding )

Sonju: "Demons." ( chuckles )

Long time since I've been called that.

Emma: You guys!

Alicia: Emma! Ray!

- Christie: Emma! Ray! - ( Gilda gasps )

Rossi: Thank goodness! I'm so glad you're better!

Gilda: She's not better yet!

Emma: Is everyone okay?

- Gilda: Yes. - Don: Yeah!

( both sigh )

Mujika: I'm sorry if we frightened you,

but we don't mean you any harm.

You have my word on that.

I am Mujika, this is Sonju,

and we do not eat human flesh.

So please be at ease.

None of you have a thing to worry about around us.

( dishes clatter )

Careful now...

Ray: No one seems to mind they're demons,

which is weird.

Emma: Yeah.

Dominic: Here you go, Ray.

Rossi: Here, Emma!

Gilda: They made us lunch earlier,

and it was fine.

If they wanted to do something bad to us,

they would have by now.

Don: Besides, if they wanted to eat us or whatever,

why'd they bother nursing you two back to health?

They saved us, so we can trust them.

( both gasp )

Mujika: Do you all have enough food?

Children: Yes!

( Emma gasps )

Sonju: We are grateful to Heaven and Earth for our lives

and this blessed meal we are about to receive.

Both: Thank you for this food.

Children: Thank you for this food.

Ray: Thank you for this food.

Emma: Thank you for this food.

( Ray gobbles )

Emma: It's good.

( children snoring )

Sonju: We can talk now if you want.

Emma: Yes. We do.

Sonju: Have a seat, then.

Emma: I'm sorry.

Even though you saved everyone's lives,

we were suspicious,

because we thought all demons ate humans.

Sonju: It's fine. You were smart to be cautious of us.

Human flesh is special to demons,

the brain in particular.

Most of my kind would drool and take a bite

if they saw a human.

It's best to be wary of us all.

Ray: How come you don't want to eat us?

Sonju: For religious reasons.

( Emma gasps )

Sonju: In accordance with our faith,

we choose not to eat humans ever.

We'll eat anything else, though.

We're heretics.

Everything about demon society,

its ideology, authority, the farms, we reject it all.

But I was curious about you.

That's why I rescued you.

It's been a long time since I talked with a human.

And in this day and age,

the only place to find humans is on a farm.

( Emma gasps )

Sonju: Anything else you want to know?

( Emma shudders )

Actually, there is.

What happened to us humans 30 years ago?

Was the world always like this?

Sonju: What do you mean by "happened"?

Emma: Huh?

Sonju: I'm not sure

where you got your information from,

but the world has been like this for far longer than 30 years.

- Emma: How long? - Ray: Then we're not on Earth.

We're on another planet. That would explain

all of those weird creatures we saw in the forest.

Sonju: Nope.

Ray: Then the calendar's wrong!

It's not 2046. It's way after--

Sonju: No.

This is Earth,

and the year is 2046,

according to one of the human calendars.

Ray: Then it's a--( gasps )

Sonju: Sit, and I'll tell you a story.

Emma: Let's hear what he says.

( Ray sighs )

Sonju: A long time ago,

the world was much bigger than it is now,

and there were plenty of humans around

for the demons to hunt and eat.

We were the predators. You were the prey.

Some humans accepted their fate,

while others fought back and hunted the demons.

In time, the humans were getting eaten less

and killing more of us,

and that only made the demons hate them.

It was endless killing, constant fear.

And finally, when both sides got sick of it,

the humans came up with a solution.

"Let's promise," they said,

"to keep our worlds separate.

We humans will stop hunting you, and you will stop hunting us."

( Ray gasps )

Sonju: Everything began with this promise between us.

One half of the world was the humans',

and the other half, the demons'.

The side you're on is the demons'.

In the end, one of the conditions

of the agreement was for a group

of your ancestors to be left behind here.

Ray: Wait. What?

Sonju: It was all part of the promise.

To make sure it was kept,

the demons were given stock they could breed and manage.

That's the whole point of the farms here.

And of all the different farms there are,

Grace Field is one of the best,

turning out high-grade humans year after year...

for the past 1,000 years.

( both gasp )

Sonju: It hasn't changed since.

( Ray shudders )

( Emma gasps )

Ray: Different worlds.

Emma: A promise between demons and humans.

( both chuckle )

- Ray: Yes! That's awesome! - Emma: Yay! That's so awesome!

- ( both laugh ) - Sonju: Hmm?

Emma: We didn't expect it, but this is great!

A whole other world!

Ray: Damn straight!

It's even better than we thought!

Emma: There's a separate world where humans live,

a place where it's safe, without any demons!

- Ray: Yeah! - Sonju: Um, kids...

before you get too excited about it,

you can't cross over into the human side.

Emma: How come?

Sonju: It's part of the agreement.

No one's crossed over,

not for the past thousand years, anyway.

Emma: Are you absolutely sure about that?

Sonju: No, but that's what I heard.

Ray: And the human side, that's for real, right?

Sonju: Yes. That's what I've been told.

Emma: Well, that settles it. There's hope, then!

All we need to do is find out where to go

and how to get there!

Thanks, Sonju! That helped!

Sonju: It did?

All right. That's good, then.

Get to bed now. It's late.

Emma: Okay.

Sonju: We'll show you the way out of the forest tomorrow

and make sure you get out safe.

Emma: Thanks again.

Good night, Sonju.

( birds squawking )

Sonju: Don't worry. These tunnels are safe.

I made 'em myself from the fallen trees.

Your pursuers don't even know they're here.

Only Mujika and I can find our way around this labyrinth.

Mujika: I still get lost.

( children laugh )

Ray: We're makin' good progress.

Sonju: The demons chasing you

don't know the way out of the forest,

but down here, the way out's this way.

Dominic: Have you lived in the forest all this time?

Mujika: No, just for now. We're travelers, actually.

We tend to move around a lot.

Alicia: Look! The plant that holds water!

- ( giggles ) - Sonju: You know about them?

There's a spot up ahead where there's lots more.

We can take a break there.

Children: Okay!

Don: A thousand-year-old promise between demons and humans?

Gilda: That must be the "promise"

the code in the book meant.

Thoma: Everything we read about the world

wasn't about this place?

It was about somewhere else?

Ray: Something else we found out,

Grace Field isn't the only farm.

There's lots more out there.

Lannion: For real?!

Don: There's more kids like us?

Then we can't leave them. We have to save them, too!

Emma: Right. And to do that,

we have to find Mr. Minerva first

and ask him how to get to the human side of the world.

Then we'll figure out a plan, and once we're ready,

we'll go get Phil and the others

and then the kids from the other Houses.

Then we'll all go to the human side together!

- ( Don grunts ) - ( children grunting )

( Lannion laughs )

Nat: You make it sound so easy.

( Emma gasps )

Nat: We barely made it this far,

- but with more kids with us... - Gilda: You have a point.

Emma: Yeah, but I never thought things would get easier for us.

- Don: Huh? - Emma: Listen.

We started out hoping for the best.

Hope's all we had when we escaped Grace Field,

but now we know there's a world without demons,

a world where we can live together and be happy,

and I'll get us there, no matter what.

I don't care if they say it's impossible.

We'll make it!

This is our chance to finally be free!

Ray: Yeah.

She's right. We'll make it!

Children: Yeah!

Sonju: The place you want to get to is southeast, huh?

Okay. You should leave the forest from the north side,

then go around and down.

Emma: Why?

Mujika: If you exit from the southeast,

you'll have to go through two areas

- with wild demons in them. - ( children whimper )

Sonju: If you leave from the north,

it's just wasteland, no demons.

It'll take about five days to get through the forest, though.

But once you're out,

you'll reach your destination in a day or so.

And before we part, we should teach you a few things.

Emma: Like what?

Sonju: Things to help you survive out in the wild.

Nothing too complicated.

Just the basics and a few skills.

( Mark gasps )

Emma: Thanks, Anna.

Gilda: Emma, can we talk?

Emma: Hmm?

Gilda: There's something I've been wanting to say

since yesterday, but it can't wait any longer.

Emma: What?

Gilda: If you're not feeling well,

you have to say something!

Emma: B-But I--

Gilda: No buts! Never push yourself like that again.

Do you understand?!

Well, do you?

Emma: Y-Yes!

Gilda: It's beyond me how anyone can be so reckless!

Like cutting off your ear!

That wasn't part of the plan!

There's no point in being brave if you die,

so stop taking such stupid risks!

Emma: I'm sorry! But--( gasps )

- Gilda: Never again. - ( Emma squeals )

- ( Ray laughs ) - Emma: I won't!

- Ray: Someone's in trouble! - Emma: I'm sorry!

- Christie: Yeah, you are! - Ray: Hmm?

Christie: You used yourself as bait!

Yvette: We heard all about

how you got that lizard monster to chase you.

Mark: Yup! That was a stupid idea!

Alicia: Stupid!

Lannion: He's always trying

to get himself killed for no reason.

Thoma: Suicidal.

Ray: What are you talkin' about?! I am not!

Rossi: Would he have died if you hadn't come along?

Sonju: Oh, he would have died horribly.

- ( steed snorts ) - Christie: See?!

Ray: Oh, come on!

Jemima: You can't die.

Please don't die! ( sobbing )

( Ray gasps ) Easy!

I'm not dying.

Dominic: You made her cry!

Jemima: We were so worried.

- ( Ray gasps ) - ( Jemima sobbing )

Gilda: You didn't tell us you were ill,

and then you fainted.

We were all worried sick about you.

Emma: I'm sorry.

Don: What did you guys expect,

that we weren't gonna worry about you?

You worry about us all the time, so it's only fair.

Nat: True. Don and Gilda were a blubbering mess.

( Don yelps )

Gilda: If you need help, then tell us.

Don't try to push through the pain.

We can help you, but we can't if you don't say something!

We care about you as much as you care about us.

We're all family here.

We can pick up the slack for you if we have to.

We'll figure it out.

Let us help, please.

Emma: Okay.

I'm sorry. I will.

I'm sorry, everyone.

( fire crackling )

( Emma slurps )

No way. Who made this?!

Ray: I did.

Emma: It's delicious!

What'd you do to it to make it taste so good?!

Ray: I don't know. I just made it

how Mujika taught me to make it.

Don: Oh, not even! It looked to me

like you were just throwing stuff in!

- Ray: Guess I'm that good. - Don: More like lucky!

Mark: We helped getting the fire started!

Dominic: I mashed the taters!

Jemima: I made the dumplings!

Mujika: For first-time chefs, you all did wonderfully.

( children laugh )

Mujika: Now have a seat, and let's eat.

- Rossi: Yum! - Children: Okay!

All: Thank you for this food.

Ray: What's wrong?

Emma: Huh? Oh.

I was just thinking how good food makes everyone happy.

Don: Mmm.

I want to make sure the exit's clear

Mujika: Be careful.

Can I please go with you?

I want to see what it's like out there.

Sonju: Sure, but stick close to us.

No wandering off, okay?

Sonju: It was them? Good.

The enemy could be hiding anywhere, so stay alert,

Emma: I got it. Be ready for anything.

Sonju: So what did you want to talk about?

Emma: Huh?

Sonju: Well, you didn't come along to sightsee

or to keep me company, did you?

Emma: Teach me something.

Sonju: What?

Emma: How to kill a living thing.

You've taught me so much already,

to cook, which plants are safe for us to eat,

which herbs do what,

and how to use a spear and a bow and arrow,

but I've never had to hunt for my food before.

I want to know how to do that on my own

before we say goodbye to you.

Up 'til now, someone else has made our food.

We know how to get fruit and vegetables,

but we should know how to get meat and fish, too.

I need to learn how to catch and kill an animal,

so please teach me how to hunt.

Emma: Gupna?

No way.

Sonju: Careful. It's a vampiric plant we call Vida.

You need to pierce the heart of your game with it.

You dedicate your food to the gods.

If they accept, the flower blooms.

Then you can eat the meat. This is Gupna.

It's how demons traditionally slaughter their prey.

The plant helps preserve the meat by draining the blood.

It's okay. It's unconscious.
