Annie Page #10

Synopsis: Annie is a young, happy foster kid who's also tough enough to make her way on the streets of New York in 2014. Originally left by her parents as a baby with the promise that they'd be back for her someday, it's been a hard knock life ever since with her mean foster mom Miss Hannigan. But everything's about to change when the hard-nosed tycoon and New York mayoral candidate Will Stacks - advised by his brilliant VP, Grace and his shrewd and scheming campaign advisor, Guy - makes a thinly-veiled campaign move and takes her in. Stacks believes he's her guardian angel, but Annie's self-assured nature and bright, sun-will-come-out-tomorrow outlook on life just might mean it's the other way around.

Do I stand for something

or for money?

Who am I, and where's

my good girl gone?

You know I had

a good heart once, you see

Who am I

now that my armor's gone?

You gave me

what I didn't know I needed

Who am I

now that my heart is won?

I didn't know

I needed anyone

But I've got today

But I've got today

I gotta make

I gotta make

The best I can of it

The best I can of it

Is dead and gone

And me along with it

So I look within

So I look within

Remember what I wanted

Forever looking

for some place to call home

Who am I?

About to meet myself

This should feel right,

but something don't

So I look within

Remember what I wanted

'Cause I don't know

Oh, I will trust in it

Oh, I will trust in it

Oh, I will trust in it

I will trust in it

But today I gotta make

The best I can of it

'Cause yesterday

is dead and gone

And me along with it

I wanna start again.

Cinderella

Went upstairs

Made a mistake and kissed a

snake How many doctors...

Guys, I need your help.

- Hey.

- Hey.

Gotta give this back to you.

It won't work in Brazil.

Yeah, we're not in Brazil yet.

We're in Ecuador,

Bolivia, Colombia...

Actually, southern Colombia.

Now, Bogota,

that's a tough place

to penetrate.

Yeah, I've heard that

about Bogota.

Made you something.

Really?

That's me, that's Sandy,

and that's you.

I copied "Stacks" from my phone.

I'm gonna miss you.

- Annie.

- Hi.

- You ready?

- We're gonna go straight to the airport, kid.

Okay.

It's been great

getting to know you, Annie.

You're such

a special little girl.

You should punch

Mr. Stacks in the face

so you can go play

in the park together.

Then you'll have a real friend.

That was between us!

- Okay?

- Okay.

I'd like to help you out.

No, thank you.

We don't believe in handouts.

Only hand ups. And you've

already given us one.

Bye, Annie.

Never slow your roll.

You neither.

Whoa!

What a cute dog.

- Come on.

- Bye.

Bye.

Goodbye, Annie.

The press is eating this up.

We're gonna crush.

Goodbye, Harold Gray, you

pathetic, nonprofit do-gooder.

Grace, where are we

with that phone battery?

What?

A full week on one charge,

where are we with that?

- We're close.

- Close is not good enough.

- Well, we don't have the...

- We've already wasted enough time.

I'm gonna go call

the research department.

Knock them dead, kid.

Bye, Annie!

Will? I hate

seeing you like this.

Grace, I'm fine.

Let's just...

Mr. Stacks, I think

you're gonna wanna hear this.

Annie's in trouble.

- What?

- Those weren't her real parents.

What? What is happening?

Ignore her, 'cause

she's clearly insane.

Watch your mouth, chango.

Look, I did something terrible,

and I'm really sorry.

What do you mean those

aren't her real parents?

He had them take her somewhere.

I can't believe

I danced with you!

You danced with him?

I was desperate.

He was a little handsy.

- Where is Annie?

- What have you done?

Where's Annie?

Is it cold in Brazil?

Just be cool.

She's asking questions.

Do you collect ashtrays?

No.

- Art?

- No.

- Do you play piano?

- Just shut up.

Where are we going?

We're just taking you

someplace for a little bit.

Just relax.

You're not my

real parents, are you?

Sit back. Sit still.

What are you doing?

Stop that.

Let me go!

When Mr. Stacks

finds out about this...

Stacks doesn't need you anymore.

Why do you think

we're taking you?

You work for Mr. Stacks?

He wouldn't do this.

Yeah, well, I guess

he has enough photos.

Mr. Stacks did this?

Call my guy at the FBI.

I want to get everyone on it.

I got it.

I'm already on with the police.

I didn't think anything

like this could happen.

How could you not know

who has her?

I got a guy who takes care

of these kinds of things.

It keeps our hands clean.

Trust me.

I can't trust you.

You took Annie.

Hey!

Hey, look!

It's me! Annie!

- Hey, girl!

- Help!

Get her. Grab her.

Sit, sit, sit still.

Don't touch me!

Sit still!

Everybody, listen up.

- Check every call within a 10-mile radius.

- On it.

I knew they could do that!

Someone just posted a picture

of Annie on Twitter.

- Where?

- 54th and 6th.

Another one on an Annie blog.

It looks like she's waving.

- 57th and 6th.

- Let's go.

Hey. You do this,

and everyone will know.

Forget about being mayor. It'll

destroy your whole business!

I don't care.

You're making a huge mistake.

Think about everything

you've worked for.

That everything means nothing.

You're fired.

- You! Talk to him.

- Ow!

You're the only one

he'll listen to.

It's not 'cause she likes you.

She's got these pointy little...

Oh!

Nice chopper! What

is this, a Bell 429?

What?

What, a guy like me

can't know about helicopters?

I don't know anything about helicopters!

It's written right here.

Gilbert, let's go.

Roger that.

- Who's Roger?

- Who's Roger?

Is anyone else dizzy?

Look! It's Annie!

Help.

Another picture on Instagram.

65th and 10th.

Head west, Gil.

- Hey, what are you doing?

- Hey!

Hold her still.

We'll find her, Will.

Just posted on

the George Washington Bridge.

She's waving.

She's doing it on purpose!

Head uptown, Gil.

There she is!

Don't lose them.

On an Annie blog! She's

heading to the State Park.

They're headed into the park.

Gilbert, don't make me come up

there and fly this helicopter.

There they are!

- Annie! Annie!

- Annie!

I don't think she can hear you.

What? It's the cops.

Oh, no. It's Stacks.

Why would he be following us?

- Watch it!

- Whoa!

Watch out!

- Annie!

- Annie.

- Gil, let's land this!

- Cut them off.

I really hope

we find Annie soon.

No!

Annie!

Get them!

NYPD, hold it!

Annie!

Annie, are you okay?

I'm fine. We even now?

- What?

- Want another photo?

- It's not like that, honey.

- It's exactly like that.

You don't care about me. I was

just an opportunity to you.

- No, that's not true.

- It is true.

You did all this to me

so you could be stupid mayor!

No... Listen,

you gotta trust me!

I can't trust you.

I can't trust anybody!

- No!

- Just let me go!

Listen, I'm sorry for

what happened to you.

I can't look you in the eye

and tell you that I didn't know

that something was going on.

But I did not know that those

people weren't your parents.

You gotta believe me.

This is you, Annie.

It's you.

Oh, wait, wait.

Sir! Sir.

I officially withdraw

from this mayoral race.

I think that this city deserves

someone better than I am.

I wanna take time out

to concentrate
