How It All Goes Down
Imprisoned with My Cat
- The first thing we see is Sadie asking to be given the bloody mic and telling us that Carter's a rubbish storyteller.
- Sadie recaps: explosion, fiery bloke, Dad in a coffin, two threatening people, passing out.
- When Sadie wakes up, the police separate her from Carter and stick her in an office.
- Then the police take Sadie to her grandparents' house. But they just toss her in her room, so she's stuck waiting some more.
- Sadie looks at the necklace from her father, which looks a bit like an angel or something similar. She's not sure why her father had asked if she still had it.
- Thinking back to the whole museum incident, Sadie feels frightened and horrified. It was also weird how her dad had stopped at Cleopatra's Needle right before, as though the whole thing were somehow connected with her mother.
- Sadie goes over to her desk, where she keeps a picture of her mom, whose name is Ruby.
- It's a picture of Ruby holding baby Sadie at their home in Los Angeles overlooking the Pacific. Sadie thinks her mom was really beautiful, with perfect skin—which bugs Sadie, since there's a spot on her chin.
- In the photo, Sadie's mom is wearing a shirt with an ankh, the ancient Egyptian symbol of life, on it. The irony of this—since Sadie's mom is now dead—appeals to Sadie.
- Right then, a police inspector enters Sadie's room. He asks her to tell the whole story, even though she's already told the police. So, even knowing that it sounds crazy, she does.
- That's when it dawns on Sadie: they're talking about her dad as though he's a terrorist. After all, he destroyed priceless artifacts and apparently killed himself in the process.
- Sadie gets angry, since she was told to tell the truth, but when she does, no one believes her.
- Sadie looks out the window and sees the stranger, Amos, looking concerned. He still looks really familiar to Sadie, which bugs her.
- The inspector asks Sadie whether she's protecting Carter because she considers him a proper brother. This annoys Sadie further, since she hates it when people assume they aren't related, as though their family couldn't exist.
- The inspector keeps pushing, asking if Sadie knew anyone else who was involved. Sadie names Amos to see the inspector's reaction. He says that's impossible—they just talked to Amos in his New York home one hour ago.
- Sadie turns back to the window, only to see that Amos has disappeared. Weird.
- The inspector plays his last card, saying he has a full confession from Carter and that Sadie might as well help, since there's no way to protect their father.
- Sadie yells that Carter would never say anything against their dad, and neither will she.
- The inspector keeps up the jerk act and tells Sadie to come downstairs with him to discuss consequences with her grandparents.
