Outside, Claire comments on the box looking a lot like one from the paper company where her dad used to work. Samuel says she might have guessed that he and her father share more history than she knows. She tells him he can always fill her in, but then seems to be satisfied when he says he's not interested in the past, only the future. They talk about how he wants them to have a permanent home, and he'd love for her to stay and watch that happen. She has to get to class on Monday, though. He says that's fine, then asks if he looks good for going to the city, where he needs to make a positive impression on someone who's essential for the plan coming together (he says he means the homeland, but I think he might have a bigger plan in mind), and for their freedom. Claire says "Freedom is what you do with what's been done to you," and then awkwardly says "Sartre. College." Samuel one-ups her with lyrics from "Me and Bobby McGee". He tells her she'll see that they'll be able to stop running, and then she might want to stay. Claire, apparently not wanting us to miss that they were talking about FREEDOM, replies, "Or go." He says it's her choice. As they part, a couple of Elis are listening, and one asks Samuel if she's really free to go. Samuel: "Not in my lifetime. You make sure of that." Title card.
