you There are kids in this world who are different. Special. They look like us and they act like us. But they are not us. I mean at Holiday. The helicopter's getting closer. If you want to stay safe, you have to get in the van with us. Now! Please, honey, before it's too late!

Maybe we should listen to mom and dad, Hall. No, Cyrus. They still haven't given me a reason to trust them. What if this is a trap? Like with Badger? Dude, we're your family. Would you just get in here? Birdie? What are you doing in the van? She's right look it's pulling you towards the van There's no time hauling in! Please, just get inside! Fine! Before I change my mind. Come on, give me your hand.

awkward silence asking for a friend i'll break the ice what's this hoverboard in your backpack it's holidays it was a gift from really cyrus Sorry. It flies on its own. I've seen it. Bird. Can I ask where you got it? Can I ask where you're taking us? To the base. The army base? Why?

We can't risk leading them to the house. We can sleep at the barracks while I figure out if Whittier is on to you. But how do you know the base is safe? How do I know it's safe? What if you're just taking me there to keep me from finding out who I really am? Sweetheart, we're trying to protect- I'm not your sweetheart! Stop calling me that! We love you, Holiday. I wish you believed that. How can I? When you keep trying to block me from the truth. Seriously.

Every time I get close to figuring out stuff about my past, you guys put up roadblocks. Like tonight, how did you even know that we were at the docks? I told them. Oh. I thought you were on our side, Big Mouth. I am on your side. I didn't want you to end up like Badger. Who's Badger? No one. My friend from the hospital.

He gave Holiday the hoverboard. Dude, shut it! And he's the one who told her she wasn't really our sister. You need to stop talking now. Like, right now? And he even saved our lives. That night when we were camping, mine and Holiday's. What? We watched him get kidnapped with the helicopter chasing him. Hello, we could have been snatched by the bad guys if he hadn't saved us and gotten kidnapped himself. Whoa, back up.

Kidnapped? James, why did you pull over? Keep driving. This is insane. We're being chased by helicopters, Monica. The kids are being hunted. You have got to tell her. Aha! You do know the truth. I knew it. I know. You're right. Who am I? Who is my real family? Holiday, honey, the truth is, we don't think you have a family. At all? Like...

You think I'm an orphan? We think you grew up in a laboratory. A laboratory? One I used to work in. One I regret ever working in. In fact, I've grappled with that regret for 12 years. What do you mean I grew up there? This lab is involved in genetic manipulation. What are you saying? That I'm a... I'm a lab experiment? This is Amy Hutchins. I play Monica on Six Minutes.
