Koestler: Everybody wait here.
Diana: John! John! John, please, why are we back here? John, please, what are you doing? We have to get to the caves.
Koestler: We're not going to the caves.
Diana: What?
Koestler: She knew the coordinates for this last event. She tried to write them down. The teacher said she was interrupted, ran out of time, so she scratched them into this door. She tried to tell us where to go.
Diana: You're not making any sense. Look at you. Look at what you're doing!
Koestler: The numbers are the key to everything.
Diana: Please! Please, John, we need to leave! We're taking my car. Come on. Let's go. Keep your bags with you. Be here, please, be here. Throw it in the back.
Caleb: What about Dad?
Diana: He's just gotta finish what he's doing. He's gonna follow us. We're just getting a head start, okay?
Koestler: Diana? Caleb!
Abby: Where are we going, Mom? Are we hiding from the whisper people?
Diana: Yes, baby. They won't find us where we're going.
Abby: Mom, they know where we are.
Diana: How do you know that?
Abby: They told us so.
Diana: You've seen them again?
Abby: No. They just talk to us.
Diana: How, Abby? How do they talk to you?
Abby: They whisper into our heads.
Diana: Oh, God. Oh, God.
Caleb: I want to call my dad.
Diana: The phones are down! I promise he's right behind us! We'll call him when we get there! Wait right here!
Woman on TV: Now let's get back to the financial markets, if we may, for a moment. Let's check it out on the grid here this morning. We've got Treasuries moving up...
Man: Yeah, thanks. Thanks, man.
Diana: Number five.
