Lost in the ocean, and my stomach's been home until home It got wet There are kids in this world who are different. Special. One of them found us. And became family. But her time ran out. And now that girl is missing. Excuse me. Is anyone out there? This is a huge misunderstanding. Cyrus. Cyrus. Anyone? Listen, call Dr. Monica Anders. She works here. She'll explain everything. Hello? Someone's coming. Really, Simon is calling for your mommy. Brinkley. Wait in here. You're leaving me here? No, no, no. Hey, hey! You can't lock me in here with him. You don't have to say it like that. Can your pee brains even comprehend the political injustice happening here? We don't even know why we are in here. We have the right to an attorney and a phone call. They aren't cops, Brinkley. They're with your court security. And they don't have to follow any rules. When my daddy hears about this. Now who's calling for their parent? At least mine works here and can do something about it. Give me out of this nightmare. Give it up, Brinkley. Looks like we're stuck with each other now. Try to look at this as a wonderful opportunity. Not now. Shubbit, Simon. I will do no such thing. And you will both listen. When I was trying to say before the Whittier court thugs a ride. Wasn't on-sense from a defective robot. She's not defective. Just in need of a tuna. Of the three of us, I'm the only one thinking clearly. The fact of the matter is whether you like it or not. You two were meant to be together. Oh my. Yes. Cyrus Anders. I totally get it now. This is a new low. What are you- You programmed your robot to be your wingman? Is what? Excuse me. I see how it works. You get your robot to cozy up to girls and tell them they are meant to be with you. That's your game. That's ridiculous. I don't have any game. Yeah. No kidding you don't. And whatever this is isn't going to work. What isn't going to work? This. You can look at me all you want with those. So full, blue eyes are trying to distract me with how your arm got all tight when the target is away and the way your jacket smells. Oh, never mind. I don't want to talk to you. Good. And don't think I'll be distracted by noticing that the water washed away your makeup. So now I can see those cute little freckles on your nose and the way your hair looks even better wet. Keep going. Cyrus and Cyrus bring me a castor nap. What? Who is that? Tell me what you want to wake up with, huh? Now. It's not the question, please. Who wants to know? Who are you? We are not speaking without our lawyers. Who are you talking about? Who are you? This is my character. It's Miss Syracan, Cyrus. I'm the one asking questions. If you want out, you better tell truth. Just tell them. Ugh, fine. If you really want to know, I have no idea what I was doing in the river. I just woke up there. Actually, I don't remember anything over the last two days. Nothing? I mean, I remember hearing that my team won the robotics competition, swashing all of scientists' ears, oafs, and dreams. I guess this might be related to that electrical anomaly. Something weird happened to my family, too. Really? What was it? I'm still talking to you, what was it? She answered you. Now, answer us. What is this all about? Why are we being questioned? My mother, Dr. Anders, is going to hear about this. Hello? What are we doing here? Hello? Hello? Who are you? Did you just hear? The door is unlocked. So, we just go? Hello? Heat, heat, heat. Better? Where did Corin Dorgos go? Sommie and hit the bricks. They're surprisingly fast. Cards. Can I see them at school? Birdie. Yeah? I don't really care about Corin Dorgos right now. Oh! Um... What do you want to talk about? Let's start with the fact that you said you could breathe... Under water. Oh! That. Um... I don't really know what else there is to say. Try. I... I can't explain it. It's not like when you take a bunch of air in your lungs and go under. It just felt... natural. Like you had gills? Okay, now that would be weird. Hey, how did you know that I was out here anyway? Uh...well... Hey, do you think I mean... any put your core up there? I have an arrival time for the monor. What are you're corp? No update. I'll check in later. Over. Wait, you're spying on mom? Spying on your mother? Repeating my accusation will not buy you the time you're looking for, Pots. I'm not spying on your mother. No? No. I'm simply... spying on the place where your mother works. I'm shocked. In fact, I'm more shocked about this than you were by my... not...dills. I mean, it's certainly a surprising development. What are your core? What about them? Mom's researched. Do you think that my ability... Are you asking me if I think your mother... experimented on you? Yes. Well, Bird. Can't say it hasn't crossed my mind. Why would they just... Let us out. I don't know. Hey, where did Sybot go? Sybot? Friendly pastornec. Cyrus Anders. Please proceed directly to the elevator. Do not pass go. Do not collect $200. Who? Or... What? Is that? It is I, Ivan. The interconnected voice-activated network. Making a humorous joke about a serious situation. Please do not contemplate sneaking around. No problem. Ivan, just get me out of here. Elevator. Open. Huh? He shall be. Yeah. Me too. Friendly? What's wrong? Friendly? Maybe. Just maybe we would be trapped in the small dark elevator. And... Is it me or are the walls turning closer? Cyrus, I mean... After everything... Friendly. I'm just... Keep working on that sentence. I'm gonna try and find a way out of here. Friendly. Cyrus Anders. What? Friendly. Can you hear me? Because I think I want to kiss you right now. You do? Uh-huh. Unless you... No, no. Friendly. You okay? Huh? You just jumped like... Like what? Like you were hit with a bolt of electricity or something. Oh, uh... I guess that electrical anomaly really did zap my brain. I think I'm hallucinating. Why? What did you see? I... I... Well... Bobby, level. Ready. Daddy? How did you know? Where do your corpse security gave me a call? Um... Hello, Mr. Pasternak. I'm Cyrus Anders. Ah. Anders. This boy dragging you into some mess. No, I... Daddy, can you just take me home, please? Yeah, sure. But first why don't we stop in and see your mom on the way? Mom. Okay. Ready? Yeah. Bye, Brindley. Bye. Cyrus. She didn't call me... Sinus. Welcome to Woody's Corp, where the future is happening all the time. Cyrus? Mom. What are you doing here? They didn't call you? About what? Long story. Summarize it, won't you? Ugh. So I bought Ran out of school and I was following him down to the riverbank and I ran into Bertie. Bertie was there too? Yeah, but she left. Anyway, Brindley was in the water and we pulled her out. Brindley, Pasternak? Yes, and then she pushed Bertie in or Bertie fell... What? She's fine. But then, Whittier Corp security came out and put us in an interrogation room. And started asking questions. By the way, who owns the creeper voice and asks the questions? I don't think I knew Whittier Corp had an interrogation room. But you've worked here for like... Ever. There are whole floors I don't have access to. So... You have no idea what else goes on in the rest of this place. Welcome to Whittier Corp, where the future is happening all the time. Angelica Graves has a lot of secrets. Sub-Baseman, level 3. Well, did you bring in Anders and Pasternak? I did. Cyrus and Brindley just left. And I've got Saigon. Your voice changing device is still on. Oh, wait. Sorry, boss. How's that? Better? Better 147 CD. I really prefer being called KC Dupree. Tell me what you learned. Flash card. Well, the headline is... They don't seem to know a thing. Hey, now that you've listened to this week's episode, head on over to the GZM Rewind Feed to hear me and the creators talk with special guests, including cast members and super fans. Maltese's bunnies. They're back. But like a hot person on an escalator going the other way, they're not here for long. They're a temporary thrill. Like those two days you were a morning person, or a bank holiday, or that TV show that criminally only got one season. Or even that 24-hour post where your bum looked outrageously good. Some treats you just have to enjoy while they last. Maltese's bunnies. Here, but only for Easter. Maltese's. Look on the light side. It's sunny. GZM shows imagination amplified. Hmm, red. I'm pretty sure this isn't how you make M&M cookie dough. Trust me, yellow. Just one spoonful of mixture. Hmm. And it's in the oven you go. The oven? Red. Baking your friends isn't the best recipe. Oh. Try these new M&M's cookie dough instead. Hmm. Hmm. New M&M's cookie dough flavor. No baking needed. M&M's. It's more fun together.
