Angelica Graves dragged my mom out. Birdie? Birdie? Birdie. Daddy, over here! Bird, are you okay? Mom's missing and it's all my fault. Birdie, we will find her. But how is this your fault? I'm just too brave and inquisitive. Dr. Whittier would have never given me the company if I just acted like a normal ten-year-old. I'm pretty happy you're you.

We have some more questions for your daughter, sir. I'll take it from here, officer. It's official business, sir. We won't be much longer. I said I'll take it from here, or did you not see what's in my wallet over here? Oh, of course, sir. She's all yours. Uh, what just happened? What did you show him, Dad? Just a minute, kiddo. I have to make a call. Hey, that's not your phone, Dad. Where do you... Not my personal phone, Bird, no.

Since when do you only die two numbers for it to ring? Uh, Dad, whose phone is that? Who are you calling? This is James Anders. My ID is 41768. My clearance is BDMTJC2012, password Hollywood927. I'll be taking command here. Await my word. Uh, await your word on what, Dad? You're scaring me. You're not the one who needs to be scared, Bird. Angelica Grace took my wife. And I'm done playing around. We're about to bring the entire U.S. Armed Forces down on her.

I don't know how you think you'll get away with this, Angelica. There was a room full of witnesses who saw you threaten my life. Aw, poor Monica's threatened. I'm so sad. My entire adult life has been spent in your shadow. You were Whittier's star. Monica is the one developing wit kids. Monica has so much vision. Monica will change the world. Monica, Monica, Monica. And now you and your bratty tween will inherit the company I poured my soul into? Not a chance.

The police will come after you for kidnapping and assault. You will go to jail. Good thing no one knows about this Whittier Corp safe house. Why don't I give you the grand tour? Over here is our makeshift laboratory. Is that Badger on the table? Yes, that's your old friend Badger. Or some of him. What did you do to him? You can say we decommissioned him. Right, Magnus? We were nice and gentle. No.

How did the testing go? Testing? The scientists were able to hack into his memory banks. And guess what? I know where the robot island is. You found Neverland. Do you still have access to the Whittier jet? I have Monica, so yes. We're bringing her with us? Just to make sure when we get to the island, Holiday's willing to play ball.

Wait, why are we whispering? Because we don't want Adam to wake up and destroy us. He can't hear anything when he's shut down. How do you know? I've seen a badger drop. You too. When you're down, you're down. A volcano could erupt and you guys wouldn't know a thing about it. But we don't know how long he's down for. Then maybe you should stop distracting me because I'm not leaving without that key. Where is it? It's around... It's around his neck.

I don't see it. What? It has to be. It's right there. That chain. Yeah, but there's no key card. It's... It's under him. So we need to roll him over. We can't do that. I told you, he won't wake up. Unless the six minutes ends and he wakes up to find you digging under his back. Well, sitting here and arguing about it won't really help the situation, will it? Come on, you're stronger than me. Let's move him.

Ugh, fine. I'll do it myself. I can just... Okay, if I put my hands under here, like... What happened? He's breathing! Yeah, we do that. Well... It's weird. Because you know you don't need to. Dr. Whittier wanted it to be believable that we were real kids. Even to ourselves, apparently. We don't need to use the restroom either, but we do that too. So weird.

Was that a built-in snort to make him seem like a real kid, or is he waking up? I don't know. Just shh. What do we do? Well, the shh part is vital right now. And you're not doing it. You sure you even want this to succeed? Of course I do. Why would you ask me that? I don't know. Thought maybe you might like the idea of a whole bunch of yous running around. I mean...

I would. If it was me. Of course you would. He's waking up. Hey, what's that remote next to his bed? Holiday. Focus? Right. Here we go. Very carefully. I can't watch. Hurry! Come on, come on, come on, come on. Holiday, this is a bad idea. Almost there. Got it! What? Catch! Got it! What? Go! Holiday? Adam! You're awake! What are you doing in my hut? I... I'm... Ow! Let go of my arm! You have one minute to tell me why you are here.

You're being- Before I have the tigers rip your brother and his girlfriend's limb from limb. Well, tick tock.
