Amém. I studied that artist on Bourbon Street for hours and every sketch I do just looks like Bart Simpson. Because he draws caricatures. Maybe a police sketch artist on YouTube would have been more helpful. Look, I know you want to find this guy, but it's understandable if your memory's a bit Sketchy. Sketchy. I get it. That's good, Mon. Get a holiday? I get it. Can we focus? The kid with Badger in the swamp. I can see him so clearly in my mind. He was maybe 16? Mom, look at what I drew.
Does he look familiar to you at all? Sorry. He knew my name, and he acted like I should know his. And he seemed to know Magnus, too. Most of the wit kids I knew were still toddlers when I left. But he wasn't one of the kids I was tracking all these years. What about this invisible girl Cyrus and Brindley saw? Or didn't see? There's no such thing as a... James? What's wrong? Check out the grass outside Dr. Whittier's house. Looks dead. No. It wasn't like that when we left.
Oh no! Magnus! We have to get in there! Delphine, it's holiday. I'm with my parents. That was fast! Stop at the house. Doesn't mean he's not still around. Monica, leave the door open. Cy? You in here? Birdie? James! Monica, Holiday, are you alright? I'm fine, Grandpa. Are you okay? I'm so sorry. For what? Dr. Whittier, why is your arm bandaged? What happened? It's Cyrus. He's been kidnapped.
Who took Cyrus? Was Magnus? Where are Bertie and Brindley? Delphine, tell us what happened. They went to the market. They haven't yet returned. I'll check in with Bertie. Grandpa, you're on. I'll be fine. Here, let me look at it. I'm just going to gently lift your sleeve away. Dr. Whittier, did you see someone take Cyrus? I'm afraid so, Monica. No.
We were working on his robot. Cyrus went outside to look for something in your van. He was barely out the door when I heard what sounded like an explosion. Oh, no. How could he have... Magnus. I ran out and Cyrus was on the sidewalk. possibly injured. Birdie and Brindley are safe. They're headed back, but how did Magnus find us here? I don't know. It all happened so fast. I tried to scare him off, but he hurled a fireball at me and singed my arm.
It's more than a singe. It looks like someone took a blowtorch to your arm. The impact knocked me to the ground. The next thing I know, Whittiercorp Van pulls up. Magnus and his cohorts drag Cyrus inside. What do they want, Whittiercorp? What if they- What if your corpse is not gonna hurt our boy? Because they need him. To Angelica Graves, Cyrus is a bargaining chip for what she's really after. She's not getting anything.
We can't leave Cyrus with her. I saw inside Whittier Corp, Dad. It's awful. Which is why we're keeping you safe. We'll figure out a way to get him back. You're right. Angelica wants Holiday. Go after Whittier Corp, but leave Holiday here with me. It's the only way to protect her. I'm done with this. I'm done with being on the run all the way People coming after my kids. James, hand me the burner. Monica? This is Angelica Gray. Angelica.
Surprise. To what do I owe the pleasure? I want my son back. And have you hurt him in any way? Your son. Listen to me. now. You and me, face to face. You know I am. Meet me at the cathedral in Jackson Square. No wet kids, no child catchers, Just you and me. scientist, woman to woman. We'll work something out. the fate of our dear Cyrus X. of holiday. Cyrus, are you functional? I think so. I can't see anything. Hermione?
Where are we? We are in New Orleans, Louisiana. Sometimes referred to as NOLA. I know that. I mean, what happened? What am I doing on the stone floor? It's so cold in here and dark. Okay, thanks, Cyrus. What do you last remember? I was bringing Hermione to Dr. Whittier and the floor dropped out from under me. I think he said something about catacombs. Oh man, he opened up a trap door in his workshop. I've got to get back up there and warn holiday. Dr. Whittier is crazy.
It would appear that way, Cyrus. Maybe I can feel my way around. Wait, what's this? A door? Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Hermione? Turn on your light. What just fell on us? Scanning.
