Transcript
Emma: I have a confession to make. It's something I've been thinking about for a while. Since... what happened in the mountains. You see, I came back to help Jonas deal with Salinas. And now I feel it's... time to move on. I don't mean to stop fighting the Order or anything like that, I'm just saying... you know, let's just figure out a way to do it better. Smarter.
(Cut to Emma writing and drawing different things on a big white pad of paper. First, she writes the words Journey and Destination. On the next page, she writes, Nothing of me is original. I am the combined effort of everyone. She flips the page and writes the The Order followed by a question mark. She looks at her work, then adds, What is a before the video cuts to Emma drawing a new page. On this page, she writes, Friendship, Love, Compassion, Jonas, and Family. She flips the page and writes Forever in large letters. As she writes at the top of the page, the video cuts to Emma drawing a picture of the world on a new page.)
Emma: (voiceover) When I was hiding with my parents, I applied to a boarding school. It's a school for gifted students. But there's a lot more to it than just that. It's kind of like a boot camp of sorts. And most importantly... it's out of the country. Oh. (Camera cuts to Emma, leaning towards the camera.) And I got in. Okay, so they're gonna take me this fall if I enroll in summer classes, which start next week. So that means I have to be on a plane tomorrow morning. And I know what you guys are thinking... I am not gonna cry this time. I swear it. Because last time... it was like cry me a river. But now, I really do feel good about this decision.
(Cut to Emma walking outside.)
Emma: And yes, Jonas does know. I actually told everybody this morning. He was upset at first because I kept it from him, but I think he was just happy that I didn't run off this time. Actually, he's being really supportive about it. In fact, he's the one that insisted I leave first thing tomorrow morning. (gives the camera a look) I know, right? (shakes head) I think it's because... of what happened with Gina. I think he's just, you know, relieved that I'm gonna be away. Somewhere far where the Order will not find me. (Cut to Emma, still outside but now sitting down.) It's being active. And being on their radar is what makes the Order find you. Well-- well at least that's what my parents told me. Just do me a favor, guys, okay? Will you please look after Jonas for me? 'Cos... I don't know what's going on with him right now. Gina's death really shook him. And... I'm not sure any of us can bring him back.
(Cut to Emma back inside the house.)
Emma: Before I go... I wanna show you guys some more of Gina's drawings. And this... this first one is just... well, it's terrifying. (Shows Gina's drawing to the camera.) And to think... what they must've done to her... to think what they've been doing at this place... (shows a second sketch to the camera) ... for years and years... that's why I have to leave. Because they will never do that to me. See? No tears. I need to go. And the only way we're gonna bring down the Order is by outsmarting them. And we will. Jonas, I promise you we will. So no goodbyes, okay? Just I'll see ya next time. (Blows a kiss and leaves. When she moves off-camera, the big white pad of paper is revealed. On it is a quote saying, "He who fights and runs away, lives to fight another day.")
