Kev's just getting our suite ready.

While we are waiting, I thought

maybe we could go check out the beach.

I thought we'd go to

the Children's Home.

Is the beach where the bird's nest?

I... I thought we could

check it out real quick.

I could go to the home by myself.

And you can, really take your time.

I enjoy it.

Come on, Jakey.

You know your mom would freak.

What if we can find

someone to take me?

Hey, dudes.

- Dad!

- I got this.

I was just wondering if any of you guys

might be interested in taking my son

here, to the other side

of the island.

And what are your names?

I am Worm, this is M.C. Dirty D.

M.C. Dirty Business.

- I thought you changed that!

- No!

No. You did remember?

When Lou said M.C. Dirty Business

made this sound like cracked trousers.

Yeah.

But she said it sounded

like a personal hygiene problem.

Wait, are these like nicknames or...

Stage names. We're the sickest

rappers here in Wales.

Come on, Worm,

show this shank how it's done.

What? Now?

# I like to get wrecked up

down at the Priest Hole. #

# Your dad's always there

'cause he's on the dole. #

# All my rhymes is tight,

yeah I make it look easy. #

# All beats are hot

like chicken jalfrezi! #

Oh yeah, now, it's... it is good.

- Should we take the shortcut, D.

- We'll get there quicker.

Take it from me.

- What? Down here?

- Yeah.

This way?

Is this even the way

to the Children's home?

Right through those trees.

No use crying over a lost shoe, boy.

The Children's Home...

What... what happened to it?

The German navy bombed

fell right on the roof.

September the 3rd, 1943.

Where... where did they go after it?

The Headmistress and the children?

Not one survivor.

Poor little buggers...

and they were lovely too.

Why didn't he tell us

that they all died?

He leaves to join the army and three months

later everyone he knows gets killed?

Not even grandpa can turn

that into a bedtime story.

No wonder he was scared

at being a dad.

Being close to anyone.

Listen.

If you need to talk about

all this with someone, buddy

we should call Dr. Golan.

Do you mind if I go hang out

with those other kids today?

They asked.

Yeah. That's awesome.

Abe?

You're Emma.

And the twins.

And Olive.

Bronwyn.

He's Millard.

You are dead.

All of you. You're all dead.

He is... he is invisible.

That is... He's still dead.

None of us are dead.

Oh my God. Am I dead?

No.

You called me Abe,

in the house. Why?

You looked like him.

Just for a moment.

Before you started screaming,

running away and concussing yourself.

Wait, what's happening?

We are waiting until the coast is clear

before we go into the loop.

You never know
