S5 EP23: A World Without Dr. Whittier’s “Two Daughters”

And now that girl is missing.

How did he find me? Dr. JP Widdier? He's one of the most famous scientists in the world. Why would he be looking for you? Monica, please. Just trust me.

I need you to get me out of here. Now, what's happening? Please. He's going to be at the door soon. We don't have much time. Uh, okay.

Laura, give me the phone. Here. Don't tell me you're calling. Anders resident. Ah, James.

Rush. Monica, is that you? James, I need your help. Yes, sure, name it.

We need to hide holiday somewhere.

“You see, my basement. Can you get out of the house?”

Yeah, I think so. Okay. How far come through the garage down the basement steps? No one can know, okay? It's cool. My parents aren't even here.

James, thank you. Okay, holiday. I need to stay here and figure out what's going on, but you should go. James's house is...

I can take her there. Are you sure, Laura? I ran my bike that way all the time. Okay, but drop her off and come right back home. Got it.

Thank you both so much. Come on, holiday.

Monica, where is holiday?

Anders sister. Mom, did you know Dr. Whittier was coming here? I didn't expect him to come himself. No! What is this about?

“Because I'm pretty sure it has nothing to do with the fact”

that he's my hero. But I did what I would expect any mom to do if a runaway showed up at her house. I contacted the parent. Parent?

That girl's name is not holiday, Monica. It's Adelaide. Adelaide Whittier. How did he... Dr. Whittier's daughter?

Mom, what are you saying? I have to get that. Hello, Dr. Whittier. Mrs. Passell, you found about the girl? Yes.

She's calling herself holiday. But like I said, I recognized her immediately. My daughter is a big fan of yours. Her dream is to work with you someday. Where is this holiday?

holiday. holiday sweetheart, please come out. Monica, where did she go? Monica. You let her leave?

Excuse me, I didn't let her do anything. She's a strong-minded girl. Yeah. The girl is in the wind. Find her.

I still hear pen up in the vents. Just keep following the sounds. Why are these holes not wet, Peter? Probably because we aren't supposed to be down in this part of the school.

Just turn on your phone flashlight, will you?

“You don't really have been thinking maybe you should leave this to me.”

Why? Because it could be dangerous. Which is exactly why you need me. Only one of us is trying to track her and hunter. What I mean is it seems like when you get close to pen,

you start to glitch. So you're scared. I'm not scared. I'm worried for you. For me? Yes.

So... Boiler room? Straight out of a horror film. Fun. See anything?

Look. Pen's right here at court by D. So he's been hiding out down here. But where is he now? I don't know.

But again. It sounds like fun, but I'm going to have to miss the problem. You're leaving again. Holiday court mission. You guys have a great time.

You sure you can't wait? Don't you want to do something really normal? Normal is not really in the cards for me right now. Come on. Brinley, help me out here.

Brinley.

Brinley. Where'd you go? Cyrus. It happened again. He's close.

James? Down here, holiday. Holiday! You made it. Katie?

Surprise?

“Let me get some snacks and you guys can catch up.”

Katie, why are you here? You first.

The 11-year-old version of my aunt Laura brought me.

But I guess that's not what you're asking. No. Dr. Wittier. He found me. What?

Showed up in a helicopter a few minutes ago. It doesn't make sense. How would Wittier even know I exist? I mean, I don't get built until years from now. Well, he found out somehow.

Popcorn, pretzels, cheesy puffs, solid assortment. Perfect. Thanks. Listen, holiday. You're safe here.

You can hide out as long as you need. My parents are out of town. Even when they're not, they're pretty distracted. Who was that? Guys, are you down here?

Monica. We're here. Hey, James. Katie? Hello, Monica.

James, um, what's she doing here?

“Well, she needed a place to stay while she's figuring out stuff”

for the carnival. We made a deal. A deal for her to sleep over at your house? It's really not a biggie. Really?

Yeah. Sure. I'm just surprised, you know. Hey, guys. Can we maybe focus on the Wittier issue?

If that guy's here, it's bad news for everyone. Trust me. You know JP Wittier? Oh, yeah. But what I don't know is how he found holiday.

My mother. She contacted him. What? Why? Holiday.

Are you Dr. Wittier's daughter? No.

But I do know I look a lot like her.

Someone's here. Monica, is there any way you were followed? I don't think so. Holiday, don't you know karate or something? It's actually due to it, too, but I'm not sure this is the time or place.

Remarkable. You're a few years older, but it's... It's uncanny. I don't know who you think I am, but please. Stay back.

Dr. Wittier? Step aside. Young lady, this doesn't concern you. Dr. Wittier? Don't talk to my daughter like that.

I'll take it from here, Mrs. Passell. I beg your pardon. I don't like your attitude, and frankly, your daughter seems afraid of you. When you called last night, my daughter,

Adelaide, was reading her book on the couch beside me. What? But... I was certain. Well, guess everyone made a mistake, huh?

I'm not who you thought I was. I know exactly who you are, holiday. What did you see, Brinley, in your visions? I saw... Us.

You and me. Yeah, I think... I think we were a couple.

“I think we were going to go to the junior prom together.”

Oh. Your sister was there too. Erdie? No, the other one. Holiday.

We all seemed... happy. Maybe if we find pen, he can have it. Not going to be easy if he doesn't want to be found. Plus, at some point, we're going to get busted, sneaking around the school.

Homecoming ticket sales close at six minutes. I repeat, six minutes. I just had an idea. Come on. Oh, where are you pulling me, too?

We can use the dance tonight as a cover to search for pen. Wait, so you're... asking me to the dance? Uh... Well, I guess I am.

So like, we'll go together as dates. Well, dates searching for a kid who makes portals. Oh, okay, yeah. Good. Good.

I'll go get two tickets. If you're sure you're in. You have like four minutes left to get them, but I'm in. Hurry. It's a date.

But not a real one. I've got to find a dress. Wakey, wakey Adam. Come on, mate. It's a good chat time.

Oh, the silent treatment, huh? You're going to make me do this the hard way. Dear Adam,

I was born with a great gift, and sometimes with that comes a destructive streak. Guess we'll have to do this the hard way. Speaking of George Best,

a good kick in the head, never heard anyone write,

especially when you're just ahead. Penalty. Oh no no no no no no, kick! I can't wait to kill you all over again, Whittiger. You won't be doing that,

but you will be answering some questions for me. Important ones. Like, what year is it? How would I know?

“You're the one who woke me up, remember?”

I need to get my hands on a phone, or a computer, something with a digital pulse in this bloody jungle. Oh my! What's so funny?

I have a computer. A rather advanced one, been here all along, as I did, Adam. You mean me?

Not a chance. Let's see here. Yeah, hey.

Now, this should also be difficult.

Can't speak to that, Adam. I'm the Alpha. Can't touch you, please. I hear me. I'm not.

I'm one. Ah. I guess that should do this. This is a new low.

“One day, I hope we'll look back on this moment”

as the beginning of a new era of fatherhood son. If I had hands, I would wrap them around your pencil neckage now. What? Yeah, is it?

I'm not. 2025, November. Ah, come on! Interesting. I'm back where I left.

But the world is different. What does a world without holiday mean? Adam, I need all the pertinent information on Wittier call. Who is the currency search and price of our individual shares, where any spec you can find on the end of family,

lastly, and far from least, where is the Brimley past appeared? Why does it matter if we're stuck on this island? Just such. There is a new record.

That James Andrews recorded it in the past hour. Really? It's search of an expert in the field of biosynthetic robotics.

“Specifically, can you have it to study under JP Wittier?”

Please respond by DM. James Andrews. Well, isn't that an interesting time of reference? Monica, honey. We got a hit.

Already? What's it saying? Yeah. He's claiming to be the world's leading expert on biosibernetics. Really?

What's his name? His name is... Dr. Adam Head.
