As Florence works, Patrick calls to her from the forest. He finally worked out a way for her to escape.

The next morning, Florence and her boys meets Patrick at the gate. He takes them down a side trail, covering their tracks, and then tells them to run. A while later, they hear a horn behind them, signaling detection of their escape. Patrick forces them to run faster, insisting that they have several kilometers to go before they reach a road.
