What happened up there? Why would you do this? Is it because of your illness? [MAN, IN NORWEGIAN.]
No.
Not just that to you, would you have jumped? [IN NORWEGIAN.]
Yes.
minute and what I feel the next isn't the same anymore.
Well, you have my full attention now.
When I heard what you and Steinar had planned, I I wanted to support it, I did.
But the thought of June coming here made me so angry about what I'd lost.
I I couldn't focus.
None of this would be here if it wasn't for you.
That's how we made Sanctum.
Together.
That's how we can help these women, and now, this young girl, June.
We are building a new family here, aren't we, Ben? [CHUCKLES SOFTLY.]
That's right, my love.
[EXHALES DEEPLY.]

We lost Freya.
I'm not prepared to lose you as well.
I can't.
This is not the end, Runa.
It's just the beginning.
And I'll do everything I can.
Anything.
I know you will.

[GIRL.]
Harry.
I'm so excited.
And I just have to write this down so I can keep pretending to be that good girl for one last day.
- [TURNS OFF THE RADIO.]
- June? [JUNE.]
We've been waiting for so long and now, after all of our letters, all of the dreams we never dared believe could come true, we're gonna run.
We're gonna be free.
June! Breakfast! [JUNE.]
Away from Dad and his rules, telling me what to do and how to feel, and thinking he can take me away to some Scottish island where he'll never let me grow up.
Well, forget that.
I'm coming with you.
'Cause when I'm with you, I feel like anything's possible.
[WOMAN.]
Harry? Can you wash Lewis? [JUNE.]
After everything you've been through, you still have hope.
And courage.
And you see me for who I am.
And it makes me feel June! so alive.
I know everything's about to change.
And I'm ready for it.
[HARRY.]
Water coming.
Close your eyes.
[JUNE.]
I love you, Harry Polk.
- [WATER SPLASHES.]
- Don't know if I'll get to the shop today.
I can go.
It's all right.
Well, take 20 from the tin.
- Aaron will be in in a minute.
- Okay.
Come on.
Get up, Dad.
Mum always dreamed of living back in the North.
She would have loved Scotland.
Somewhere cold and dramatic.
Well, she's not gonna be there, is she? What's wrong? Picking vegetables, chopping wood, making dresses.
All we do is work.
It's how we survive here.
We all have tasks to complete.
You're stressed.
Still not sleeping? I don't dream.
I just have nightmares.
They're so real.
Sometimes I don't know if I'm asleep or awake.
[BONES CRACKING.]
I'm supposed to have another test today.
You know, I'd find it easier to talk to you.
- We're the same, after all.
- Elena I've been here 4 months, and I know nothing about you.
- Where you're from, the people you left.
- [RUNA.]
Elena! You have been told before.
We don't share secrets.
Our secrets contain our triggers.
[ELENA HUFFS.]
And you should know better.
She told me it's June's birthday tomorrow.
I can take that.
No, let me.
He's gotta stop fighting this.
I'll talk to him.

[NARRATOR ON TV.]
When an animal is attacked by a predator, it has two choices: run or hide.
While running might make the animal obvious I know this ain't your thing, but aren't they amazing? The mimic octopus is perhaps the greatest shape-shifter of all, morphing its shape in an instant, to look like any animal around it.
It can pull its arms behind its body to swim along the seabed Will you take me, too? Or conceal itself in the sand to convince its attacker that it's a deadly sea snake.
[CELL PHONE KEYPAD BEEPING.]
Thanks.
I know the rules have been hard.
When we get there, we can relax a little bit.
You don't have to pretend.
You're still angry, and you should be.
Change is hard.
It's it's scary.
But we've all gotta do it.
It's okay.
I've been thinking about it and [INHALES SHARPLY.]
I'm ready for a new start.
Somehow, you always surprise me.
There's a bigger world out there.
I can live with that.
["NOBODY KNOWS" PLAYING.]
I don't know where I belong No, I don't know But I've been hanging on For too long 'Cause no one really knows me, at all I've been spending time 'Cause time's on my side And if I make it home When our worlds collide 'Cause no one really knows me, at all [INDISTINCT CHATTER.]
Thanks.
[BELL RINGS.]
- Well, see you later, Dad.
- See you later.
[CHUCKLES SOFTLY.]
[HARRY.]
This is it, the last letter I'll ever leave for you here.
And you know what? I'm gonna miss it.
I've been thinking about how it's gonna feel to hold your hand, to kiss you, never having to look over our shoulder or live in secret from your dad.
I'm gonna take you away from all of that, June.
And I'll never tell you who to be.
[MAN.]
Yup, plates are clean.
Two hundred thousand miles on the clock.
The hand brake's a little bit sticky, but it'll be all right.
[HARRY.]
I know I joke about being stupid, but - I'm not an idiot.
- Cool.
- Yeah, I'll take it.
- Good.
There's 90.
Come on, Harry, mate, we agreed 200.
Yeah.
[MAN.]
Where'd you get this? - It's money, isn't it? - [CHUCKLES SOFTLY.]
[HARRY.]
Leaving is hard.
And once we go, I don't know if we can come back.
But being apart from you would be worse than anything we might face out there.
I feel like everything is about to begin.
But you have to be sure.
There'll be two of us.
I'll call you.
Two of you, yeah? Who is she, then? Tight as a gnat's chuff, you are, ain't you? - [CHUCKLES.]
Just give me the keys.
- All right.
Listen, safe journey.
- [HARRY.]
Yeah, cheers.
- Tell Gav I said hello.
[HARRY.]
So if you have second thoughts, if it's too much or too painful, I understand.
But I love you, June McDaniel.
And if you love me, too then you know what to do.
