One of them found us and became family but her time ran out and now that girl is missing. Lines are busting out the door Christmas songs in every store can't stand to hear one more, please. Decorations look great, Holiday. So what's more festive than tinsel hanging from a moose's antlers? Joe is back. Hang in the kitchen for a sec, okay? Never want to surprise a guy with this many weapons. Okay. Come on, James. See what he's got in the fridge. What's going on in here? Hey, Joe. Merry Christmas Eve, Holiday. Did you do all this? Do you like it? I hope you don't mind. I found a box of decorations and, well. Ho, ho, ho. Quiet. Stay here. Someone's in the kitchen. Don't worry. They're my friends. They helped me with all this. Uh, let me introduce you. James, Monica, come say hi. Uh, hi. I'm Monica. Hey, Joe. James. Another James. So you've made yourselves at home here. Oh, we didn't want to intrude. We just Holiday mentioned. I just thought that since we were kind of all alone and you were kind of all alone, we could be all alone together on Christmas. All Missing our families. You know, it's a nice thought. I'm scheduled to work the pipeline for some extra holiday pay, so. Joe, we're happy to leave, but we don't really have anywhere else to go. Nowhere safe anyway. Okay, you can stay. You should stay too. Celebrate with us. Please? Yeah, okay, I'll stay. Great. Doesn't feel right leaving a bunch of strangers alone in my cabin at Christmas. Of course. You feeling okay, Monica? I'm fine. I told you. You sick or something? I'm good. Hey Joe. I noticed you had ingredients out for Christmas cookies. Oh, yeah, it's just kind of my little tradition. I love Christmas cookies. Can we help you bake them? Uh, yeah, sure. Have fun, guys. Make me a Santa. Okay. One more message. Merry Christmas. Sigh I really miss you, Renee. Yeah, the house looks wonderful. You do all this? Hi, Mr. Pasternak. Brinleys not here. She said I could let myself in. Cyrus, what are you doing here? Where's Brinley? She should be here soon. Things got a little out of hand at Whittier Corp and she said she would be back soon. Yeah, she said we should wait for her here. We? Yeah, my parents are here too. They're missing my sisters, so we're trying to stick together. I hope you don't mind. Hey there, Joe. I'm Monica. The doc from Whittier Corp. Well, sort of. I'm James. Merry Christmas. Guess we're all missing our kiddos, huh? Christmas Eve, Brenny and I would always bake cookies shaped like the animals we hunted this year. That's sweet. While she plays Christmas carols on her instruments. Seems like a pretty great tradition. And I can't speak for everyone here, but I'm sure she'd appreciate the cookies when she gets back. And I wouldn't mind one either. Alright, let me go whip some up. Y' all make yourself at home. Which it looks like you already have. Okay, let's see here. Cyrus the man is right there. I just figured if were all missing holiday this much without even remembering her, then she's missing us too. Maybe she left another tape. Oh, is it under um. Ha. Merry Christmas. 2025 says you're right on the label. Well, play it. Merry Christmas. Sigh I really miss you. I feel like I've always known her voice and I've been missing it this whole time. I just wish I could be with my family. All of us together. Me too, sweet girl. Me too. Is she alone on Christmas? It's really hard, you know? Not just being apart, but not knowing if you Even know who I am. Or if you ever will. We know you, Holiday. We may not remember everything. Or anything. Or anything. But I think we can all agree. We know you. Yes, we know you. How's Birdie? Is she there with you? Soon, we hope. I remember this time. Dad put coal in her stocking as a joke. It was my first Christmas with you guys. She just threw it in the fireplace and said, I guess Santa wants to make sure I'm warm tonight. That happened here too. She didn't want to give me the satisfaction. Let's make a vow. This is our last Christmas. Apart from now on. Together. Always. That's a promise. Merry Christmas, Anders. Fam. Birdie. You made it. You're here. How. Heya, big brother. Boats, planes and automobiles. Helps to have someone who can make stuff turn on. Come on in. Hey, Sci Fi. Sorry to crash, Casey. All that's important is that you guys are safe. Oh. Huh. I think I needed that hug more than I knew. Thank you for taking care of my sister. She took pretty good care of herself. But Badger and Pen, no word. Like I told you. Badger grabbed Pen, took him away on a helicopter. Any idea why? He's gotta be working for someone. Angelica Graves. Maybe these are all good questions, but team, it's Christmas Eve. We're finally together. Minus holiday. Ironic. On, you know, a holiday. Thanks, Saibot. We have her voice. Though I'd rather have the whole holiday. But I'll take part of her. Oh. Oh. Part? I'll be right back. Where's she going? You'll see. Unfortunately. Okay, don't freak out. What's in the box? You had time to stop for presents? Oh, I'd hardly call it a gift. What's in there? How's it going, Doc? What in the world? Those are all very appropriate reactions to a head in a box. But it's okay. He's a robot. Like Holiday. Adam? Hello? Leave me alone. Adam, you're being rude on Christmas Eve. Adam head. Adam Head. Dr. Adam Head. Yeah, yeah. A little on the nose, I guess. But it's not like you had any idea I was. What is it? I have exceptional hearing. And something huge is coming our way. What's going on out here? Just got an alert that someone's coming up the road. Hi, Mr. Pasternak. Don't mind the talking, robot head. The what? Is anyone listening to me? Who is it? Who's coming? Multiple vehicles. Military grade. It's that Jude Whittier. He's coming for us. If Jude is coming, it's not. Not for you people. He's looking for Brinley. Be careful, Monica. Hold the chair steady. James. I got you. And boom. What do you think? You put a tomato on the deer's nose. Now he looks like Rudolph. Okay, that's pretty good. Shh. Somebody's out there approaching the house. Holiday, if you need to hide. What's up, weirdos? Katie? Katie? Hello. Hi, Joe. Merry Christmas. Merry you too. So what are you doing here, Katie? Whittier. He's furious. I think he's coming to look for you guys. And he's not doing it alone. Do you think he'll find us here? Monica. She fainted again. Monica. Monica. Whittier Corp. Only means trouble. Sounds like they're coming from all angles. Joe, I'm sorry we put you in this situation. You said they were looking for Brenny. This guy, Jude, he seems like bad news. He knows Brinley and I were together at Whittier Court. Which means if he can't find her, he'll use you to do it. They're getting closer. I have some traps down that road, so I don't think it'll hold them for too long. They said a chopper too. Cyrus Anders. Hand over. We've got you surrounded, Joe. We can hold him off. Is there somewhere safe you and Cyrus can go? Nobody knows these woods like I do. Cyrus, follow me out the back. It's too late. Child catchers. We're surrounded. I got this. Mr. Anders, can you cover my blind spots? I got got you. Sci fi. Mr. P. Get ready to make a break for it. What you gonna do? Just stable. Leave us alone. Fall back. Cyrus Anders, give yourself up. No way. Casey, the helicopter. Knock it off course. It's awfully far, but I can try. Cyrus, go. Let's go, kid. Okay. There she is. Get her. Casey, out. I got her. Get off of her. James, the helicopter. It's headed straight down right. Its sides. Cyrus. Huh? One side. What's happening? Everything's fuzzy. No. Cyrus, no. What are you doing? The helicopter is coming straight down on you. Cyrus, go. You're. Nobody hurts my kids. Mom. You saved me. What just happened? Whoa. I. Mom, did you just catch that helicopter? Whoa.
