Transcript

What happened when I left Neverland to go see the Anders family? You were on a mission, and nothing was going to stop you. So I followed. The least I could do is keep you Mom and Dad! Cyrus and Birdie too? Adam? Cam! What happened? When I found them, they were on a picnic. Take your eyes off them. This burger is up! It's mine! No, it's mine. I'm older. So, I'm younger. That makes no sense. You make no sense. There's plenty of burgers to go around, guys. Yeah, but Dad always burns most of them.

Thanks for the bone of confidence, Bert. She's kind of right, Dad. Maybe if you modified the flame height so it wasn't so much of... An inferno? A2, Monica. I know you love your fire, James, but maybe take it down a notch. I'll raise you for the not-so-burnt ones. Ready? Get back here, you totally cheated. I'm going to be you. She totally tricked him. That's something I would do. Okay. You saw Monica Andrews. Can we go home? Earth to holiday, huh? Sorry about her. What's up with you?

They're just so happy. So are we. I want to talk to them. No. Why? I don't know. I just have questions. The little girl fell. She tripped over a rock. See, she's fine. But look at how the rest of her family ran to help her. Even the brother she tricked. I'm going over there. Are circuits fried? For all you know, Monica's still working for Whittier Corp. She could be the enemy. Do they look like enemies to you?

See, they pick on each other, but you can tell it isn't real. Like, you just know they do anything for each other. Maybe I could just go say hi. Holiday, get back here! But wait, if I went up and talked to them, wouldn't they have recognized me later? You never made it over there. Why? Because our greatest fear, the one all four of us share, suddenly came true. What? You stopped being you. Come on kids, the whale watching boat is about to... Sigh, help her.

Holiday, wait up! You can't just walk up to them and blurt out who you are! Think about the rich! I know it sounds nuts, Badger. Somehow I know in my heart... I have to go home. Huh? Why didn't they see you? I have to go home. Papa wants me. Papa? Oh, wait. Papa?! Papa? It was Dr. Whittier. He found you, but... How did he know I was there? He must have left some kind of tracking system behind.

And it was triggered when you arrived there Somehow he was able to use that equipment to boost the signal and hack into your system He took control of you Control. To bring you back to him. You hopped on the hoverboard, went straight to this helicopter that was about to take off for a glacier tour. A helicopter? That's when we- you stole a helicopter and I hopped on board.

But I didn't fly all the way to New Orleans. We barely got over the bay. Because once we got in the air, I took the controls from you and figured out a way to bring you back to me. Holiday! Holiday, listen to me! What do I do? What do I do? Okay, maybe if we go higher... I have to go back to Papa. I have to... Badger! Badger, what's going on?

What's going on? Holiday, you're back and it worked. What are we doing in this helicopter? It's Dr. Whittier. He took control of your programming. How? I don't know, but he's trying to get you to go back to Thornton Rust. I can't go back to Thornton Rust. Never again. Here, I'll tie off the controls so I hold steady. I can feel something in my head, but it's much weaker. I pulled this up higher.

I thought maybe if we got high enough, it would break the connection. It worked. Which means, once we touch back down on the ground, he'll have... complete control over everything I say and do. Unless... Unless what? The failsafe! Holiday! Dr. Whittier installed it in case I was ever kidnapped by the child catchers, so they would never know what I was or be able to trace me to him. I'd seem completely normal.

Human. Human. But if you initiate that program, it won't just cut you off from Dr. Whittier. It'll erase everything. You'll lose your memory. Better than going back to that old man. But what about Neverland? I'll miss you. and the animals, but this is what I need to do. Holiday, please. The clouds are beautiful today. Clouds? That's what you're thinking about? Just try not to cry, that's all. It has to be now. I can't let you do this. This is what I want.

To start over. What will I say when you're gone? You'll figure it out. The pattern is in my memory banks. Hand to foot, hand to foot. Say the cat race three times. And then one blunt force. I can't do it myself. It has to be you, Badger. And how do I explain to you? What's going on when you wake up? Why you're on a helicopter? Who I am! Who you are, Randy. Um...

Push me out. I'll... I'll land in the water not far from the whale watching boat. The blood force of the fall will cause the reset. No! No, it will work. Remember when we stopped Whittier Corp in Vancouver two weeks ago? I still have the fake birthmark from when I infiltrated them. If the Anders family finds me, then maybe they'll recognize it. They'll think I'm a wet kid. And then what? They'll want to protect me. Or they bring you to Angelica. And what if they don't find you?

like a 12-year-old girl with no memories. The holiday project has to end. This is the only way. You realize if I do, you won't remember me. You won't remember anything. Second star to the right, straight on till morning. Holiday, please! Second star to the right, straight on till morning. Don't make the- Second star to the right, straight on till morning. Doors open. Do it, Badger. Now. Goodbye, Holiday. Bye, Badger. Give me a push on three. One, two, three.

I watched from the helicopter as Cyrus rescued you, just like you'd hoped, and I checked on you at the hospital later to make sure you were in good hands. I promised I'd come back in a year. No. to leave the island. I chose to give up my mask. yeah and I chose the Anderson. before I even knew them. Who's them? Over us. You found me in the water. What happens? Holiday. I've made up my mind. I know where I belong.
