And now their time is running out. Why does nobody ever clean up in here? Is it under here? No. On top of here? No. We had a proper filing system. This one never happened. Just shoot, sir. Ivan! Mr. Adam is here to see you. Adam is here already. We'll send him in. Heyo! Adam! Did you follow my commands? Where are the others? The other what? You had one job to do. Bring Penn, Remi and Casey to me. Did the takeover of your programming not work? Takeover re- Hey! Is that a spinny chair? What? Weeeee! This is the best day ever! Adam, have you lost your mind? Wait, you're not Adam. No, that Adam anyway. I'm Adam 3. Yee. Yee. Prototype 3. Is something wrong with him, sir? Very much so. When Adam designed these prototypes, their cognitive function was... We're out. Unfinished. Not finished enough to not get sucked through a big hole like Adam, or zapped like Adam 2. Woohoohoo. Stop that! Hey, sorry, Judy. Jude. Now, you may not be as smart as the original Adam, but you at least seem... compliant. And you were built to have the same tracking skills. I'm a master tracker. Well then, this might actually work to my favor. Adam 3, I have a mission for you. Oh, yes, fun! What's doing? Well, you don't know what it is yet. Oh, right. Uh, what is it? You will follow Holiday and Birdie Anders without letting them know you are following them. Fun, yes. And then I smash them. No, you just watch them. Boo, lame. Don't you even want to know why? Sure. Why? Because... this is how we find Brinley. Ah, yes! Wait, who's Brinley again? You guys coming in or what? Uh, yeah. Come on, Case! Pen! For the record, I'm not following him, Remy. I'm following you. Ugh, what a electro girl. I do owe you when I figure you humans might want some... I don't know, food... shelter, that kind of thing? Food does sound good. For some reason, portal hopping makes me super hungry. Uh, but won't it be like a bajillion years old? Dear old dad, Dr. Whittier always kept some preserved. He built this place to withstand... anything. Oh, even the robot apocalypse! Why did you smile when you said those words? Boy can dream, can he? Okay, I'm gonna go on the hunt for canned goods. I'll come with you. Remy? I'll stay with Adam. Suit yourself? Uh, I think the kitchen is ahead and to the left. Back in to the right it is. Come on, Benjamin. Benjamin? I like that. Who says you can't go home again? Are you feeling okay? No, absolutely. Ducky. It can't be easy for you being here again. And for what it's worth, I think it's pretty brave. It's just a house. Sounds like you had a pretty rough childhood here. Robots don't have childhoods. And whatever issue I had died with dear old dad back in Whittier Corp. Tower. Now? I feel nothing. It's okay to have feelings, Adam. I promise it doesn't make you any less of a... Quiet! I'm a very good listener. Yeah, I'm sure you are, but... We're not alone. Someone else is at Thornton Rust? Yeah. But who? Come this way. What's that? The floor, it's... AHHHHHHHHHHH! AHHHHHHHHHHH! AHHHHHHHHHHH! What are you owing about? We fell through the floor. Yeah, and I broke your fall. No offense, but you're not exactly a bed of feathers. Ugh! Where are we? The basement. And... Hey, that's who I was smelling. Hello again, Remy. A Cybot! And... Uh, hi? Yeah, hi. Here you go, Mr. Anders. I've got some coffee, might help while you're on watch. Thanks, Casey. Katie. But it's all good. When you go back in the cabin and rest with Brinley, I can keep an eye out for Whittier Corp on my own. There is something we need to discuss. You don't have to apologize for what went down in Juneau in the past. Or the future. Oh, that's not it. Or for not telling Brinley and Cyrus, you saw me in Monica in Berlin. Right. I actually just needed to show you something, or... someone? Okay, come on out. Don't tell me what to do. You're not my mom. Uh... Who is this? Who am I? Who are you? And why are you sitting in my dad's chair? What is wrong with people? This is Mr. Anders. Mr. Anders. This is Brinley. Brinley? You mean...? Yippers. And this is my house. So that your dirty boots off the porch before... What was that? That... was her. Why are you guys looking at me like that? Oh, it happened again, didn't it? This... has happened before? It's chilly. I'm gonna go see if there's hot chocolate. Wait! Once an abandoner, always an abandoner. Brinley. Sorry. I guess I forgot to mention that I've been kind of sort of slipping back and forth through time lately. Slipping through time? There was that call on the time phone and it blasted me with energy and somehow I became... unstuck. I go there, she comes here. Cyrus is working on a solution. And Dr. A is with him now, so... So... you're in the best of hands? Agreed. As long as we don't get separated again. It does seem to happen quite often. Maybe the universe thinks we're too powerful together. I don't think it's the universe separating us, but I do think it's the universe that brings us back together. Really? We all lost our memories and somehow still found each other. It's gotta mean something, right? Yeah. I like that. It's like... we're meant to be... anytime or place. Yeah. Hey, so how did you and Dr. A meet anyway? The first time? You really want to hear about this? Unless it's gross. No, it's not gross. We were actually around your age. I was kind of a troublemaker. Ooh, what kind of trouble are we talking? What kind of guy? I had a little crash on my motorcycle. Motorcycle? Monica was working as volunteer EMT on the ambulance that showed up. They wanted me to go to the hospital to get checked out, but in those days I didn't like being told what to do. Was Dr. A into that? Not at first. She was... She was the smartest person I'd ever met. But kind of a goodie-goody. I knew right away. But how did you know? That sounds like a truck headed up the drive. You left my dad's traps out on the road, right? Yes. But looks like whoever that is is avoiding them. Um... Hello there. What are you doing in my house? Your house. Then your... Your past or you? Daddy. It is a pleasure to see you again, Remy. Aw, Cybot! I'm glad to see you too. But who are they? Why, it's little Jimmy and Dr. A. Guess you figured out how to use the hoverboards. Huh? This is James Anders and the future Dr. Monica Purcell Anders, currently known as River and Sam. And shame on you, Adam, for putting dangerous ideas into the minds of these impressionable teenagers. Whatever, Cybee. Hey, who are you calling impressionable? It's an insult, right? It means you do what other people tell you you should do. Oh, heck no. That is definitely not me. So you're telling me that these two are from... 1989. Thereabouts. Huh. Cool. Why don't you seem surprised? Uh, a few years ago I would have been shook, but sister, I could tell you some stories that would make your head spin. Yeah, maybe later. Cybot, got any idea what's in all these boxes down here? My records tell me that this is where Cyrus and Brinley found Dr. Whittier's notes on how holiday was made. Wait, seriously? Whoa, Adam, slow down. What are you looking for? I've been trying to figure out how to make my prototypes smarter. Prototypes? Yeah, they're me, but kind of dim, long story. We should let AC and Penn know that. Ah, jackpot! What is that? It looks like a recording. It can be played over there. It says on the cover... Robot, 1961. Whittier must have been a teenager then. Was he already thinking about building bots? I believe there is a way to combine minds, proteins and biology with the emerging appeal of artificial realities. Is... is that...? Oh, I almost forgot. This is June 26th, 1961. Jude Paxton Whittier recording. Jude? Jude? Paxton Whittier? Huh. No way. Jude... is Dr. Whittier? Shh, it's starting. GZM shows imagination amplified.
