Henderson brings Wooton to a basement meeting room, where Mr. Corelli tries to make Seawright's secret night shift sound compassionate. He claims local families choose the work because labor laws unfairly keep them from earning money. He warns that exposing the operation will destroy more than a hundred livelihoods. He also says Joseph invented Freddie C. after losing his family in a car accident.
Corelli then reveals that Joseph's full name is Joseph Fredrick Corelli and that the boy is his nephew. Freddie C. is not a vanished relative but a courageous identity Joseph has created for himself. After releasing Wooton, Corelli asks him to back away for Joseph's sake. Meanwhile, Joseph tries to send another warning from Mr. Montoya's computer, but Montoya betrays him to Henderson.
At Whit's End, Wooton admits that Corelli's warning has troubled him. Exposing Seawright might hurt families who need the work, but ignoring Joseph might leave them trapped. Whit, Bernard, and Wooton decide that Joseph's use of the Power Boy help symbol deserves their trust. They return to Greensburg at midnight with a video camera and leafy disguises, while Agent Hayworth quietly joins their watch.
The unmarked trucks arrive again, and the camera records many workers, including children, entering the factory. Henderson also drags Joseph inside. The video and apparent kidnapping finally give Agent Hayworth grounds to act. Police surround the building and move in while Whit, Bernard, and Wooton watch from the hill.
During the raid, Henderson slips out a side door with Joseph and heads toward a van. Wooton races after them while Whit and Bernard alert Agent Hayworth. At the basement meeting room, Corelli orders evidence destroyed and prepares to flee with his nephew. Joseph refuses, accusing Uncle Lenny of betraying everyone first, but Corelli and Henderson force him into the van.
Still dressed as a large bush, Wooton leaps onto the moving van and blocks Henderson's view. Corelli finally orders a sudden stop that throws Wooton off, but the delay gives police time to surround the vehicle. Corelli and Henderson are arrested, and Joseph is rescued.
Agent Hayworth discovers that an international network has brought workers to America under false promises and trapped them once they arrived. Authorities begin helping the workers and their neighborhood. Seawright's president claims he knew nothing about the scheme, and there is not yet evidence proving otherwise, but Corelli has begun telling investigators what he knows.
Joseph stays with a kind foster family and can continue seeing Wooton. He explains that he imagined Freddie C. as a hero brave enough to do the things that frightened him. Yet Joseph himself built the protest website and secretly marked the wet window coating, sending out a plea without knowing who might ever find it. Wooton assures him that anyone who fights for the truth is a hero. What began like a message in a bottle has reached the people willing to answer it.
