Suggested correction: No, we see her drive up in the car, not fly in. But you are right that when we see them take off the car is missing.

You must have seen a different version of the movie I saw her land there, it's on Netflix.

You're right. I just saw the version on Netflix and she flies in, while the version from disc I have shows her drive up with a minute of dialog between them next to the car that is not in the Netflix version. I find it very surprising that there are two versions with that major of a difference.

An extended cut was released on DVD and Blu-Ray which has a couple extra scenes as well as modified scenes (including Mary driving to Hancock's). Netflix would have shown the theatrical cut version. (Or if I had to venture a guess, the UK release version as Netflix has a tendency to use those versions for some reason).

Suggested correction: And the second time, since Cam is now there, the timeline can/will have changed, so something about Cam's presence may have caused him to come down sooner.
