Badger makes four. Well, as the only kid left, I'm going to skip dinner. Be in my room. Bertie!
I want you doing homework. No hunting for the island on Google Maps. Sure, scary robots have kidnapped my brother, but I'll definitely focus on math and vocabulary. Good plan. She's going on Google Maps. 100%. I got it. Hello? Dr. Enders, it's Brinley. Brinley, where are you, honey? Um, actually I'm on a plane. A plane? She's on a plane? Why? Where is she headed? Where are you going? I'm headed to... I guess you'd call it the island. To save Cyrus. What?! Brinley!
How do you even know where it is? Where's she going? I've got Casey with me. You're with Casey? Casey and Brindley? Oh boy. Gotta go. Wish us luck. Say hi to Mr. Anderson Birdie. Okay, thanks. Bye! Brindley! Brindley! What is happening? Brindley's on a plane with Casey. They're off to save Cyrus from murderous hybrid robots. On a remote, hidden island. But I'm sure there's nothing to worry about.
No, not at all. That was believable. Okay, let's try this. Casey has superpowers, and Brynley more than knows how to take care of herself. Assuming they don't annoy each other too much... He'll be okay. And as for Cyrus, he's with Holiday, right? She'd never let anything bad happen to him. James. Monica. Do you think we'll ever have a normal life again? Yeah. Sure. Nope. Definitely not.
Adam! I guess knocking's out of style. I want you to know, as soon as Cyrus wakes up, I'm taking him home to Juno. And when I get back, I'm doing everything in my power to stop you and this plan of yours. Or you can do the exact opposite of everything you just said. You kidnapped my brother and brought him here so that he can make you an army.
You could look at it like that. Or you could look at it as a wonderful opportunity. Thousands of versions of me running loose in the world. How could that be wonderful? If you just give me a chance to explain. You have two minutes. I'm gonna need six. First, there's something you need to know. Dr. Whittier had a terrible accident. Dr. Whittier's gone? What kind of accident was it? He had a remote with him. He tried to take control of me and Cam. I had to stop him. So I did.
You killed him? It's not like you're making it sound. Then what is it like? Did it ever occur to you that maybe I'm not as heartless as you think? Or that maybe some of your goodness has rubbed off on me, Holiday? Nope. Never. The plan is to make these robots in your image, not mine. And that's supposed to make me You're always saying that my problem is there was no empathy programmed into me. You're the one who knows right from wrong.
That's why I know this is wrong. But it won't be an army. Like I said, it'll be a community. A family with members who have amazing abilities and use them for good. Is that really your plan? You say you don't fit in with the Anders because you're not human, and you don't fit in with us because you're too human. Well now you'll be surrounded by friends who feel the same way you do. Why should I believe you after all the lies you've told? And after what you did to Dr. Whittier?
things from you in the past, but let's be real. disgusted with me for having no emotions. Well, look at the humans you surrounded yourself with. Cyrus betrayed his family over a girl. Casey was raised to be a spy. Brindley is so selfish she'd sell any one of you out for her own personal gain. If I have too few emotions, Your humans have too many. But you, you're kinda in the middle.
brilliant and almost indestructible, and you care. That's the kind of being who can change the world. Which is why I'm turning management of the project over to you. Oh, you're just... Then let me lead. We'll be partners. Roll over a whole society of peace-loving bots together. How does that sound? Bumpy flight. Casey, I was thinking about ways we can save Cyrus. I literally have a million ideas, but here's one. Picture this. We hit the island.
You create a giant lightning storm and chase after the robots with flaming bolts while I locate Cyrus and rescue him. Okay, first of all, I don't create storms and lightning. You don't? No. Bummer. Okay, plan B. You distract the robots in some other way, TBD, and I swoop in and rescue Cyrus. Yeah, so here's the thing, Bryn Bryn. We're not partners. We ain't a team.
I didn't invite you along on this mission, and if anyone is going to rescue Cyrus, it's me. Fine. So let's say I distract Adam with a killer oboe solo. You brought your oboe on a rescue mission? No, but I can say... Adam would rather dump you in the ocean than listen to you sing. Bet you'd like that, wouldn't you? Then you get to be the hero again. Everything's a competition with you. Volleyball, grades, sci... and... class. Science class!
Hmm, science class, huh? What do you even know about science class? You haven't been in science class in months. I'm the one who's been picking up the slack in science class. See? There you go again with the competition. No competition, just facts. I did all my homework, put in precious time to the point where science class has become one of my favorites. So don't talk to me about competition. There is no competition if you bail on the fight. I didn't bail. I never bailed. Everything I've done
It's been for science. Whoa. That's worth it, Bumpy. Seriously, you're so nervous. I barely died trying to... Did she say we're making an emergency landing? No, I didn't hear. We're too busy running your mouth. Ah! Casey, seriously, what's happening? This is crazy turbulence. Where's the flight attendant? Probably strapped into her seat. Oh, this isn't good. Seriously, I'm going to die with Brinley Pasternak.
Is there a crueler fate? What are you talking about? No one's gonna... What was that? It was not good. That's what it was. Are you praying, Brinley? I'm sorry. I'm sorry I lied about cheating on the test in the second grade. I've been perfect on every test since. Whoa! Okay, and I'm sorry I ordered $200 worth of makeup online, then lied and told Daddy his credit card was stolen.
It was always so I'd look my best for the concert. Oh, Daddy, I'm so sorry I wasn't a better daughter. Will you please stop? I locked Holiday in that closet at the concert, but whatever, we worked that out. Okay, but I'm so sorry I told Patrick he was my brother when he just wanted to find his wife. Cyrus, I'm sorry I never told him how much I care about him. Excuse me? He's the best person I've ever known and now he'll never know how I really feel. Even if we did kiss twice. What?
That sure was exciting, wasn't it? Well, I'm pleased to say our awesome pilots got us safely on the ground. Welcome to sunny Texas. Wow, so... Texas, huh? Lone Star State, y'all. Yeehaw. Back up the wagon, cowgirl. You just say you kiss. Where... Where am I? What happened? Is this... Am I in a cave? What's going on? Birdie? Brinley? Casey? Is anyone here? It's me, Cyrus! What's that sound? Rushing water? A waterfall. Am I? I'm on the island.
