Put me down, you miserable drones! Wow, she's pretty high up there. Put me down! Don't struggle so much, Ms. Devon! You don't want them to drop you! You think this is funny? You'll pay for this, Annie Warbucks! You and your friends and your dog, too! Giving off some serious Wicked Witch of the West vibes. I don't need to listen to this. Hang on. Hey, where are you taking me? What are you doing? And there she goes. Where are the drones flying her?
I'm just sending her back toward her yacht so we can talk. Adam, how did you know we were here on this island? Pepper told me that you were recreating your father's flight, and then I intercepted some communications with Devon's yacht, and I figured you might need some backup. You figured right. Yeah, thanks for the rescue. My pleasure. So, Annie, have you found your father yet? Not yet, but I know he was on this island. Someone was keeping him locked in a cell this whole time. A cell?
That's awful. But he outsmarted them. He found a way to escape. Just like I knew he would. And we're gonna find him. I'm sure of it. Yeah? Well, I'm here now. Thank you, Adam. It means a lot that you came to help. Of course, Annie. You mean a lot to me. come here with you? She did. We borrowed a Warbucks jet and flew down together. Where is she now? Unfortunately, it was a bit of a bumpy landing. Hard to find the runway in the dark. We know.
Did she get hurt? She bumped her head. She's fine. No sign of a concussion or anything, but I thought that she should hang back on the plane instead of trudging through the jungle just to be safe. Oh my goodness. We should go make sure she's okay. Do you know how to get back to the runway? I mapped it on my phone. We can find it. I know she'll be happy to see you guys. Annie, why don't you hang with me? What's going on?
I think I have an idea about how we can find your father. Oh, great. Tess, Malz, take Sandy with you. I'll see you guys back at the plane. And hopefully I'll have my dad with me. Good luck. We love you, Annie. Love you, too. Bye, guys. Stay safe. So, what's your idea? Follow me. Jimmy? Jimmy? Yeah? You're right there. Oh, I always am. Yes, you are. What can I do for you, Aggie? Do me a favor. Get Senator Jeffries on the line, please.
But of course. Uh, by the way, you really put him in his place. You like that, huh? Very much. Very, very much. Me too. Oh, hello. Steven, right? This is Jim James. My name is James from Agatha Hannigan's office. I have Miss Hannigan for the senator. I'm sorry, the senator isn't here. Where is he? I can't say.
What do you mean you can't say? Give me that. Put Arlen on the line now, Stephen. Miss Hannigan. Senator Jeffries, well, he missed all of his meetings today. He isn't answering his phone. We have... I have no idea where he is. Well that can't be good. Partners, Adam said. You and I will be partners. But partners tell each other things, right, Adam? And right now, I don't know what you're doing on that island. Or if Annie is even safe from you.
Drake 2.0, are you down here? Hello, Miss Hannigan. Welcome back to Adam's evil lair. Wow, he's actually calling it that now. He thinks it's funny. Can I help you with something? I was wondering, is it possible to locate Senator Arlen Jeffries? Locate? Can you show him to me on one of those screeny things? Of course. Let me out of here. What do you want? This is all some kind of mistake.
He's trapped in that car? Yes. I've commandeered his car's computer system. And you're going to drive him off that pier into the river? Not unless Adam tells me to. But he might. Oh yes. He told me to stand at the ready. Yeah, so much for him not being a dangerous maniac. Will you excuse me, Drake? I'll be right back. Don't be too long.
Or you might miss the show. Oh, the show where you murder someone. I'll be sure to get my tickets right away. So, I think I can use the drones to hone in on your dad's location on the island. That would be amazing. You must be excited to finally see him after all this time. I can't even believe it's finally happening. Yeah. Me neither. How's your mom doing? Huh? Your mom? Any change since the surgery? Oh. No. No change. Sorry. Are you okay, Adam? Yeah.
Why? You just seem... I don't know... Distracted. I want this to go right. That's all. You sure? In my life, I've learned not to count on things going right. I suppose that makes us kind of opposites, huh? I guess. I mean, the way you never gave up on finding Mr. Warbucks, no matter how many times he got smacked in the face. Guess that comes from all the winning. I don't know. It's not like being positive just happens. It's a choice you make. Every day. Sure, Annie. Adam...
Are you? Hang on a sec. Hello? Red, thank God. Pretend this is Molly. Oh, hey, Molls. What's going on? Is Adam with you? Yup. He's right here. Okay, don't let on. But you need to know, you can't trust him. He's dangerous. Like, really, really dangerous. How so? That's all I can say. I don't even know why I'm doing this. Bye! Okay, Molly. See you soon. Everything okay? Yeah. She and Tessie got a little turned around, but...
They're headed for the runway. Good. It's kind of crazy how we ended up here. What do you mean? I mean how it all started the night before my party. Five-year celebration of my adoption, Miss Hannigan was getting out of prison, Dad was about to launch the drone program, and I... I guess I was trying to figure out who I am. Who you are?
You're Annie Warbucks. I know that the world will always see me a certain way. But I never want to feel that far from the orphanage. From the girl I used to be. Maybe it's time to get over that. When I first found this locket, I thought whoever was watching me in the cemetery dropped it by accident. But looking back, I think it was the first step in a very big plan by someone who wanted to hurt me and my dad. You mean the person who...
caused your dad's plane to go down, left it on the fence for you to find on purpose? I do. You know, I used to have these conversations with Mrs. Bonilla about life. You talk to a dead person about life? How did you know Mrs. Bonilla isn't alive? What? Mrs. Bonilla. How do you know she's someone I talked to in the graveyard? You must have told me. I never told anyone that I talked to the other headstones. Really? Really. You were there, weren't you? In the cemetery.
Did you see me talking to the Bennetts that night? Who was on the phone just now? Molly. I don't believe you. That was Miss Hannigan, wasn't it? So... Now you probably think you're pretty smart for figuring it out. If I was smarter, I would have figured it out a long time ago. I suppose that's true. You also would have figured out that just through those trees behind you...
is a very steep cliff with a very high drop. You're gonna push me off the cliff? I'm just pointing out that you aren't as observant as you think. Maybe not, but neither are you. What? If you were, you would have noticed someone watching you from the brush. From the... Looks like that survival training has paid off. You tracked me the whole way? Hi, Dad.
