Summary
Jason Whittaker and his father join forces with Eugene and Leonard Meltsner to bring Dalton Kearn to justice once and for all.
Plot
Eugene Meltsner is told by Leonard Meltsner that the boy they met upstairs is Leonard's son. Leonard concludes that Dalton believes that Dalton believed that Everett should have been his son, so he kidnapped him and raised him as his son. Jason states that this information can only be used against Dalton if they get the tape. Eugene tells them that John Whittaker is on his way to New York to help in any way he can.
Jason, Leonard, and Eugene listen in as Dalton Kearn reunites with Everett. Everett tells Dalton about his soccer game and the trio is surprised that Dalton is acting like a good father, and Everett really loves him. Whit joins the group, and Jason informs the group that Dalton is moving everything the next day. The group plan to get back on the top floor. Jason knows the code from watching the guard. They conclude that Jason and Whit will go together and use the recording of Dalton's voice to get into the locked room. The group then decides to get some sleep.
Eugene and Whit bump into each other during the night and Eugene begins talking with Whit. They both agree to pray for what they are about to do.
Whit and Jason arrive at the keypad and enter the floor. Eugene and Leonard are watching the the security monitors. Jason and Whit use the recording of Dalton and enter the artifacts room. Eugene sees Everett getting on the elevator, and Leonard makes it so Everett will stop on their floor so they can stall him.
Leonard stops Everett and shows him a picture similar to the one Everett had. The difference between the two pictures is that Leonard is in the one that he shows Everett. He tells Everett that he's Everett's father. Everett gets upset and runs off to the lobby.
Whit and Jason find the box and head toward the elevator. Eugene tells them that Dalton and his the guard are getting in the elevator. Jason and Whit try to use the stairs but it requires a different code. Dalton and the guard are stopped in the elevator, but they try to pry the door open. Jason and Whit use the Edu-Link to transmit the video from the camera to the Edu-Link. Everett sees part of the clip, and is devastated. He tells Jason and Whit that Dalton is on his way.
Dalton gets the elevator opened and heads up the stairs. Whit tells Jason to take Everett and get to safety. Whit plans to distract Dalton. Dalton finds Whit, and Whit gets knocked out by the security guard. Jason directs Everett to go to safety and then Jason gets knocked on the head too.
Dalton and the security guard follow Everett down the stairs. Everett almost makes it the monitor room, but Dalton orders Everett to come to him. Leonard refuses to let Everett go with him. Everett insists that he must go with Dalton. Leonard refuses to let Everett go. The security guard ties up Leonard and Eugene. They take Leonard, and leave Eugene in the monitor room.
Dalton and Everett make their way out of the hotel and Everett has lots of questions. Everett shows that Jason gave Everett a tracking device, and soon they hear sirens. Dalton assures Everett that he never regretted one moment he had with Everett.
Later Eugene, Leonard and Everett wait to hear something about Dalton. Jason and Whit explain that the tape and recordings served as evidence, and they also got Dalton's full confession about everything. Leonard and Whit discuss some of the events of the day. Whit tells him it's just beginning of another adventure for Leonard.
