Did you hear what I said?

I said hand it over!

What are we going to do?

Close your eyes.

Three, two, one.

Get back here!

Where did they go?

He must be wearing a tracking device.

They've moved.

But how could they get through these bars?

Hurry. I know how we can find them. Come on.

Come on. What are

you doing?

Miss Lucas and the henchmen were there waiting for us. What? Are you okay? Just

about. They waited until we found the thingamajig and then they pounced.

Typical Miss Lucas. Gets you to do the work and then snatches it from you.

What is it exactly?

It's the final piece of Miss Lucas's ambrosolator.

But she's not getting it.

There. Now it's safely out of her reach.

What?

How can anyone be outsmarted by Annika Hunter?

Is it me? Am I the problem? Am I just bad at managing people?

No, no, you're great. Oh, zip it, Simmons.

I know I'm not the problem. Everyone else is.

I'll fix it for you, Mom.

You? You couldn't even pull off a basic infiltration.

Now we have a new problem.

The Jacksons have been officially reported missing by their nosy neighbor.

Investigative lead, Daniel Hunter.

Yeah, he is.

Rather inconvenient. So turn inconvenient into incarcerated.

Make it happen, Simmons.

Where everyone is fired, including you.

Florian, you do what you do best.

What's that?

Nothing. Where are you going?

On a cleanup mission.

We need to call Daniel. We're in over our heads.

Agreed. Guys, I really gotta go. Got a call from Josh earlier.

You found the orphanage where Miss Lucas grew up, and I want to check it out.

Go dig some dirt, Jenny. Yeah, find her weakness.

Aren't you staying for my birthday party, Jenny dear?

I'm sorry, Dottie, I can't. They're somewhere I need to be. But happy

So, what time is it starting? Because I, for one, am getting really excited.

We're still working on something for you upstairs.

Nika? Yeah.

It's really, really cool.

I need to go out and get one last thing.

All right. See you soon.

Well, they do say the best thing about a surprise is the anticipation.

Well, I guess I'll be anticipating a little while longer.

We need to call Daniel. This is too serious for him not to pick up.

Yeah, sorry it took me so long to get back to you. Work's just been

absolutely... Hold on.

One sec.

Uh, Daniel?

Hello?

Hey, what's going on here?

Who hit who?

Hello, Oliver.

I know where your biological father is.

What did you just say?

I know where your biological father is. How do you know about that?

Lorian told me.

Or are you forgetting that you had my son as a roommate?

Alex Jackson?

The one I captured?

He's your biological father.

Not much of a surprise to any of us, I'm sure.

Do you ever want to meet him?

You'll bring me this.

I know Anika found it.

Oh, and if you still need to be persuaded, he's currently staying with

I'm sure Anika would never forgive you if you let me restrain him and your

biological daddy.

You have one hour. You get me what I want, and I'll let your family go free.

Oh, and if you talk to anybody, this is what will happen.

To everyone you care about. Meet me at the academy in one hour, with a device

else.

This doesn't sound good. I know.

Singing is the worst.

I meant Daniel.

Right, but let's not jump to conclusions. He could have just helped

people, got back in his car, turned on the radio, listened to some really bad

opera music, had a sandwich.

Talked with his mouth full and dropped his phone and forgot we were on a call?

Right. Daniel!

Okay, that's definitely not the radio.

Danny! Can you hear us?

Danny!

Wait.

What are you doing?

I'm putting Daniel's cell number into the Academy Strike and Trap app.

There.

I have a trace.

Would you stop with the singing?

Mom?

Nika?

Jasmine?

Anyone home?

Where are they going?

There's no way to know until they stop.

But once they do, I can zoom in and find the exact location.

Okay.

Finally.

Get him out of there.

Come on, get out.

Get up now.

So, where in the city is this?

That's close to Orphan's Inc., isn't it?

That must be where they've taken it. Come on.

Punctual? Aren't you the good boy?

You've got what you wanted.

Now give me my dad. Wow.

You're just like the city of Amsterdam.

Extremely dense.

I still need the Jacksons.

So I'll release them on my terms. What about Daniel?

What about it?

We agreed. Now go home and eat cake.

Security!

What?

No! No, you can't do this!

I think I just did.

Get out of my chair.

Get out!

Mom, do you think maybe we could dial down the plan a bit?

I mean, Dottie, Oliver, Jasmine, Evie,

they were all kind of good to me when I stayed with them.

Do you really think they deserve to be brought into all of this?

Oh, my gosh, Florian.

You're right.

I wasn't considering how they felt.

Why don't we all stay in and watch kitten videos together?

How dare you question my decisions?

The courage gene has clearly skipped a generation.

What a disappointment that you're my son.

Mr. Simmons.

Well done on finally solving the Daniel Hunter problem.

Meet me at the lab?

I'm ready to go to stage two.

Well, come on.

Chop -chop!

Looks like the right place.

Can I help you?

Hi, I'm Jenny. I was hoping I could get some information on someone that used to

live here.

Well, then you're at the right place.

Almost.

The orphanage relocated to a new building a few years ago.

Sorry for bothering you. No, wait.

I was a housemistress here when it was an orphanage.

Now I just look after the place.

Sounds like you're exactly the person I should be speaking to.

I'm looking for information about a Maria Lucas.

Lucas? No, I don't know anyone by that name.

Uh, may I help?

That's Maria.

I knew her as Maria Martinez.

You'd better come in.

What is it?

My revenge.

Maria was just three years old when she arrived here.

Such a sweet child.

She formed such intense attachments.

There was another child who arrived here around the same time. A boy.

They became inseparable.

There was a boy in the photograph with her. Is that him?

Yes, that's him.

What was his name? Do you remember what happened to him?

He was adopted by a lovely couple. I remember that.

We were so happy to see him go to such a good home.

But Maria, she took it very hard.

Oh?

When he left, he promised to return to her.

Maria would spend hours sitting in the window, watching and waiting for him to

come back.

He never did.

Oh.

That's really sad.

And then one day, something inside Maria just broke.

She gave up waiting.

She destroyed all the pictures and the little presents he'd given her.

She's never been the same again.

Do you know where the boy is now?

I've no idea.

What was the name of the family who... Hunter!

Hunter? Wait, the boy's name.

It isn't Eric, is it? Yes.

You're right, it was Eric.

Whoa.

But I know Eric Hunter, and there's no way he would have abandoned her unless

had no choice.

I always wondered if Mrs. Beddows, the owner of the orphanage, had something to

do with it.

She believed...

That once a child was adopted out, they should erase their time here and only

ever look forward.

Do you think she blocked contact?

Possibly. Who knows?

My surprise better be something amazing!

Oliver!

Hi!

I love the party hat, but... Who are you?

Dottie, we're back!

Where is she?

I hope the kids are okay.

Daddy, you're back.

I missed you. We missed you, honey.

Oh, I love the hat.

Thanks. It's Dottie's birthday, so I made this.

Thank goodness you're here. Dottie, we got your text. It sounded urgent. What's

wrong? Oh, I didn't send you a text. But I'm glad you're back. There's someone

very odd and very insistent waiting for you in the living room and refusing to

leave until... They've spoken to you, Eric.

Edie, honey, would you please take Harry's things up to your room?

Sure.

Maybe it's best to stay there until I call you.

Okay?

Okay.

Florian?

I thought you were part of my birthday surprise, but now I'm not so sure.

I see you got my text.

Do you remember me?

Maria Martinez.

How long has it been?

Right. A lifetime.

Maria.

Wow.

I wondered how... where you were and how you've been doing all these years. Oh,

Maria. I wondered how you were.

And where you've been all these years?

Well, you didn't try very hard to find out, did you?

What do you mean, not? Shut up!

Enough with the lies and empty promises.

I'm done for drawing down a couple from memory lane.

It doesn't just break your heels.

It breaks your heart.

Now!

Stop! Hey! Right there!

Morgan, what are you doing?

He's with me.

I guess you should have taken him off the face recognition system.

Florian, give the baby to me, please.

He won't be hurt.

Maria, I'm sure... I'm talking.

Florian?

It's time.

You were wondering what I've been doing all these years.

Searching for this.

Maria, please.

I've been working on technology that first could only multiply a small brain.

But with this amber oscillator, I can target a much wider area. A household,

a city, maybe eventually an entire country.

Florian, are you filming this?

Yeah.

Stage one was the Academy students' tiny brains.

Stage two is an entire household.

Oh, and in case you're wondering, yes, we are at stage two.

And my test is on you, Eric Hunter.

You and your perfect little family.

Now, where are the Brats?

If you mean the children, they've all gone out planning my birthday surprise.

Oliver, why aren't you picking up? Miss Spook has took Daniel to Orphan's Inc.

Jasmine and I are on our way there now, but if you don't hear from us in an

hour, please get help.

So, what's her plan when we get there?

Oliver? No, unknown number.

Hunter House now.

Family in danger. What? Who do you think it's from? I don't know, but we have to

go. Yep, but what about Daniel? He'll just have to wait. But what if it's a

trap? It's not. It's about Miss Lucas targeting the Hunter House. I'm sure of

it. Come on!

Maria, let's talk about this. There's nothing to say!

I guess the three of you, then, will have to do.

Not this for a birthday surprise.

This is for abandoning me.
