Hazards

Next bus will be in twenty minutes.
It's local and it's twenty-five.
I love that song! Hey, what happens when you get the zero bottles of beer on the wall? Excuse me.
- Twinkies.
They come two in a pack.
- Yeah.
Would you sell this for, twenty dollars? Thank you.
Um, this is fascinating.
Cake with frosting injected inside.
Technically, it is filling.
Whatever is, it's tasty.
I am Jarod.
- Dan Healy.
- Hi, Dan.
Is that your family? My wife, Susan.
My son, Todd.
Just made all conference thrid straight year.
You must be very proud.
In my whole life.
How about you? Any family photos? Oh, yes.
This is my mother.
This is my brother.
And this, belong to my father.
Distinguish flying cross.
He gave it to my brother, and my brother passed it on to me.
Flying this for a father! Are you close? I was separated from my family when I was a boy.
I am searching for them.
I hope you find them, Jarod.
Thank you.
That's the express, it doesn't stop here.
Just remember, there is nothing more important than family.
No! No.
Stay with me, stay with me! Somebody call an ambulance! I let them down, Jarod, I let them all down.
No, no, no! There are pretends among us.
Genuises with the ability to become anyone they want to be.
In 1963, a corporation known as the Centre isolated a young Pretender named Jarod, and exploited his genius for their research.
Then one day, the pretender ran away THE PRETENDER Season 2 Episode 8 Hazards YTET PRESENTS DICTATION: ±¿±¿/´Ð´Ð Jesus, No, No, Danny, please, Danny How is he? He is alive,thanks to you.
You should have been a paramedic.
He is still unconscious, but he is stable.
His family.
They seem like good people.
Why the hell the guy did this? I don't know.
Is suicide the answer? I set myself on fire because I am convinced it'll send a message, Sydney.
It'll stop the war.
We understand that.
But what are you feeling? Stay with the simulation, Jarod.
But he had people who loved him.
How can he do that to them? That's not significant to the simulation.
Family is important to anyone, Sydney.
What he is doing won't stop the war.
It'll just destroy the family.
Why would someone want to do this? Jarod, suicide is not just an action.
It's a cry for help.
I hope that I can.
Questions remained about the deadly spill inside ECS(Environmental Containment Systems), a private firm specialized in hazardous materials clean up.
We obtained exclusive fire department for it, taking immediately after a container of deadly MZT foam ruptured during routine storage.
Three ECS workers were killed when the concentrated pesticide burned to their lung and paralyzed their nerve system.
ECS spokeperson Curt Wilkes.
ECS is engaged in a full and thorough investigation of this tragedy.
Our hearts go out to the family of those employees' .
We called up the ECS engineer Dan Healy.
Not now.
They were my friends.
- They were my friends.
- Yes, but are they dead because of you? I tested the seals.
They were my friends.
I let them down.
''ECS Accident Kills Three'' ''Larry Meyers'' Dear Susan and Todd, I have failed you as a husband and a father, just as I failed my friends and co-workers.
I am sorry for the nightmare I made in your lives, You deserve better.
Love, Dan.
Welcome to ECS, Jarod.
I read my orientation pack that the company seventy-five million dollar profit last year.
Yeah, and that Taiwan is a tanker we just pump three Belgian crew.
Their shipping line is one of our biggest clients.
This is very interesting.
You process the waste with this system.
What comes out is highly concentrated.
And highly deadly.
We secure the waste, we seal them in these level A containers and then we ship them off to some salt mine in Nevada, where they won't give anybody any trouble for a while.
High grade polyethylene container.
Does it last about twenty thousand years? Yeah, Dick Clark will be open it.
Funny, Strickland.
Do you have any recommendations how we seal this ? It is highly combustible and highly toxic.
Since it's the level A container, I would suggest the double polymer neoprene and graphite seal.
That's right box, wrong ribbon.
We're going back to black end because a part of the seal with red one was Dan Healy's design.
It's no longer for use.
Because of the MZT accident.
Yeah.
Wear this.
As remembered.
And remindering.
Good morning, Miss Parker.
- Broots.
- Sydney.
- You are looking¡­ refreshed.
New underpants will do that to you.
Sydney, you made it funny.
Startling, I'm afraid.
Last night I went on a date.
You had a date! That's when two people actually meet instead of typing to each other on the computer keyboard.
So if it was a date, how can you be sure that those are your underpants? Bernice and I went to this amusing little place, the Chocolate.
You, you went a comedy club? New experiences keep my psychiatric skills - Not to mention that - Exactly! How many psychiatrists does it take to change one light-bulb? Oh, Wait Oh Go ahead and tell us, ah, wait Wait, don't tell us.
Sydney, you are supposed to set the punch linenow.
Sydney? I have the transfer report for you, Gibbs.
Forty-seven containers, almost a record.
Check this out.
Um, You are a funny guy,Strickland.
Got you! Have a little respect, will you? People died here a few weeks ago.
Easy, Hunsacker.
They were my friends too.
Larry taught me that gig.
He would thought that it was fine.
You eat that stuff? They are very good.
Food of the Gods.
Dupont, right? Yes, it is me.
M.
l.
T.
, Exxon Valdez, Kowet.
It takes a long time to build that kind of resume.
Actually, I typed it in four minutes.
That's funny! I'm Curt wilkes, media relations.
Nice to meet you.
I just came down here to make clear no ECS's employee under any circumstances in the discuss of the MZT accident with the press.
That'll make it a mean of Dan Healy's suicide attemp.
I wonder how that happened? Dan will have to say, when, if he regains his consciousness.
Don't give the status Got it? Oh he doesn't want Dan here already.
He is a conductor.
This is not good.
I want you to sweap the Center for Sydney, every corner and every room on every sublevel.
If he walked out, I want the sign-out sheet.
And Sam,be luky.
Yes, Miss Parker.
This is, this is really quat.
It's the Center, Broots.
People have the tendency to vanish.
Like Mr.
Lyle.
- Have you ever seen he was like this before? - once.
Really? Over what? It was personal.
I hope he is okay.
Do you think, do you think he is okay? You tell me! Help, help! Larry! Help me! You saw them dying, didn't you? It's like nothing I've ever seen.
They were hasting the container up on the truck.
First one just blew.
No one was wearing the protective gear.
For Hunsaker, said it'll deal out clear.
But the MZT took about twenty seconds to turn their insides into I heard the alarm, and I arrived there with Strickland but the time we got in there they have already eaten through them.
Never have a chance.
You know Dan was so careful.
He worked on this for three years, tested and retested this.
Not against the MZT.
It doesn't make any sense.
Is that what you defend him from Wilkes? Oh that snake only cares about corporate image.
You know Dan was debilitated.
He shouldn't go down for doing his job.
- He needs to see you.
- Mum, I can't.
Todd, Todd, please.
No, I am not going in there.
Excuse me.
I fixed it for him.
You were at the bus bench.
You helped Dan.
I didn't get the chance to thank you.
I am Jarod.
- Susan.
- Hi, Susan.
How is he doing? The doctors won't know for a while.
He may never Is that your son? Todd, right? Yeah, Todd.
Dan talked about him.
He doesn't want to see his father.
I don't know why I'm bothering you with our problems.
Sometime it's nice to talk to someone who is not a reporter.
Everyday these vultures' asking did his father kill those people.
I think he started to believe it.
It is a very bad idea.
Mr.
Raines finds out we get Angelo to help, he is going to ask questions.
Uncle Fester will never know the truth's missing.
How long do you think it's going to take to feel what Sydney was feeling? That answered your question? Jarod drew this.
Who is he? Le Morte.
Who is Le Morte? The one who brings death.
This is the ECS twenty-four pulling out now in the accident site eazing a tanker pouring indicator telling me it got a full load of triptochloronol.
- Jes, look at all the fumes! - It got some of magicore leak to attempt onsite depressurization.
Anyone call the paramedic? a tank in the case of three thousand and rising fast.
This suckers is going to blow if we don't pump fast.
Update me.
It's already up to four thousand.
Come on, Hunsaker, lights on.
Are you okay? My mum is in there.
Dupont, let the paramedics take care of them.
I am going to help your mum.
Gibs, get him out of here.
Come on, lights on, Hunsaker! Can you hear me? You're going to be okay.
I am going to help you.
Are you suicidal? Dupont, put that suit pack on.
She is pinning in the car.
The fume is going to kill her.
If this tank goes up, we and half of are counted to your history.
Your son is okay.
Now breathe in this.
One of our senior expertizers? No, actually he's from upstate of New York.
His name is Martin Zeller.
Has a little office on main street.
He wrote up 253 eye-glass prescriptions last year and gives out little lemon lollipops.
Sydney fled to reflirt the barber? Well, just before this was taken, he was on this elevator.
The tower elevator.
So he is a probably a client.
Let me see Jarod's sketching again.
It's gone.
- Hi,Todd.
- No comment.
I am not a reporter.
Then what do you want? I came here to tell you that I think father is innocent.
I guess that is why he jumped in front of a bus.
Now get out of my face.
I was with him on the bench.
You're the guy who saved his life? I wish I could move faster.
Father didn't care about his life for ours.
Who ask you to? Nothing.
Nineteen bottles of beer on the wall, nineteen bottles of beer.
If one of the bottles happen to fall, um.
.
What's in that? MZT.
Are you crazy? Relax.
Dan sealed this holding.
It is? Yes.
And it has been for the last five hours.
The accident wasn't Dan's fault.
He didn't kill Larry Meyers.
If he didn't, who did? Eighteen bottles beer on the wall, eighteen bottles of beer, um.
You have a new mail.
Is this the man? No, no, no.
The eyes are brown.
Watch yourself on the mind that police get to draw this.
Think.
But it will help if I know who he was.
Is he your father? No.
Here, of the middle of the right eyebrow, were spot, an imperfection.
Yes.
That's it.
But his eyes, Sydney.
Are you crying? Of course not.
Did that man hurt you? Sydney is in trouble, isn't he? How is it that you know everything that's happening in this place? Intuition.
We saw your little drawing of Martin Zeller.
Who is he? I don't know exactly.
But I remember how sydney was feeling when I ran that simulation.
Who is he? Sydney wants to tell you, he will.
Just to find out where the Center traveller offices put Zeller up.
Sydney will be there.
How do I know this is not one of your boom , Jarod? If you care about Sydney at all, go alone.
No sweapers, no cleaners.
I just hope you get there in time.
In time for what? To stop him.
Stop.
You should be here twenty minutes ago.
You are late.
You are right.
I am very late.
You don't remember me.
There are so many of us you can't remember the names.
I don't know what you are talking about.
You are a mad man.
You should hear every name.
But your time has run out.
At my age, time means nothing.
I believe this does.
Do it, if you will.
Frankly, I am tired of hiding.
No.
It is too easy.
You're willing to hear me out? Yes? And then? Then¡­ I will kill you.
Who won the fight? Go to hell! Guess you are defending him, your father that you said you don't care about.
Won conference three years in a row.
He's proud of you.
He told me.
When? Just before he tried to kill himself? All of he was thinking about was you and your mother.
He thought by killing himself he could stop the questions and that he could ease the pressure on both of you.
I am not saying it's right.
But it's just what he was feeling.
An insect made out of medal and wire.
Fishing lure.
Like bait.
Yeah.
Dad makes this as a hobby.
This is my lucky one.
Got me a bite every time we went for a trial.
I saw a picture of you and your father fishing.
It looks like fun.
You know when fishing with your dad? I wasn't lucky enough to know my father.
You know yours.
Take advantage of it.
What is it? The night before¡­ before he was on that bench with you, we got a really bad fight and I said some stupid stuff.
I told him that the accident was his fault, I told him What did you say? I told him that he didn't deserve to live.
I don't want him to die.
I don't want my father to die.
''Hazardous Waste Transport & Storage'' ''Co-Workers Mourn Deaths'' ''ECS Accident Kills Three'' ''Larry Meyers Current Status: Convicted of Extortion'' ''Horace Strickland, Account Activity'' ''Larry Meyers, Account activity: Deposit Transfer'' ''Withdrawal Transfer'' - Jarod! - I wanted to give you a hand.
I even brought you a cup of coffee.
Not so fast, M.
I.
T.
You are not the only one with the chemistry degree.
Impressive.
Why someone with your seniority in your chemistry background still do a nasty job like transport? - You can double your salary in research and development.
- Yeah, double my migraines.
Here, pull over and I get to check on this one.
Got you! It almost looks like an accident, doesn't it? - These are release papers.
- Um.
So? - You signed fifty-two containers.
- Yeah.
Only forty-two were buried in Nevada.
Where the other ten go? Horace Strickland had them delivered to drug dealers.
Strickland had felony drug smuggling charge as in FBI record.
Heroin.
My guess he was smuggling them in the extra containers.
Who would examine the container label hazardous? Strickland's bank account was getting pretty fat minus few payments to Larry Meyers.
Meyers was in on this? He was withdrawing money out of Strickland's, threatening to blow Wilkes on the operation.
So on the day of the accident, Strickland spike the MZT shippment.
So that would eat through Dan's new seal, and eat through Larry Meyers.
It is him.
Who is he? I received a package of my family's belonging today, Jarod.
It was lost for a very long time.
This picture is of my brother Jacob and myself.
Our first communion.
Is you twin? Jacob is the only family I have.
I wish I had a family.
Jean-Michael lived with his family in a little farm.
It built near Lyon.
And his work only mattered to him so far as it held his wife, Greta, and his two sons.
Twins.
Sydney! You do remember.
Jacob was your brother.
Very good, Herr Doktor.
And he is all the family I have left.
Because the rest, you murdered because they were have no use to you.
Who are you to pass judgement? Who? This is for Jean-Michael.
And this is for Greta.
Sydney! No! Oh, my Who is Mr.
Zeller? There is no Zeller.
This is Dr.
Krieg.
Dr.
Werner Krieg.
The ambitious young physician assigned to Dachau in 1944.
The Nazis were testing us.
They were looking for ways, to accelerate the reproduction of the master race.
Jacob and I became Krieg's favorite subjects.
We were only children.
He set our whole family to the gas chambers.
So that he could have us for his experiments.
Sydney, you are not Jewish.
I am a twin, remember? Strickland? Big shippment is transported tonight.
Happy to help if you need me.
Oh I figured you want to be alone.
Je, Jarod, you scared the winder on me.
Looks like we have one more item.
That's MZT.
I don't have any gear on.
Neither did Larry Meyers, or the other two victims, did they, Horace? That's not funny.
by MZT.
Is it? Got you! Jarod, I can't move in here.
I would relax if I were you.
You're going to be in there for the next whole twenty thousand years.
Jarod, that's MZT! Um.
The deadliest pesticide in the world.
Turns your inside to jelly.
But it won't corrode Dan Healy's seal, will it? Yes, yes.
I already did.
Of course.
Because you added this to it.
So you can get rid of your blackmailer Larry Meyers.
- and continue smuggling drugs.
- I didn't do anything! You murdered three people.
You framed Dan Healy.
He was convinced that the only way that he could protect his family was to leave his wife without a husband and his son without a father.
You destroyed his life, didn't you? Didn't you? Didn't you? Didn't you? Yes, yes.
Now don't do this to me.
Why not? You did it to them.
Jarod, Jarod Twinkie cream.
The food of the Gods.
Are you familiar with Nietzsche, doctor? Um, yes.
You are like the mad man who runs into the market place.
screaming for God.
But he'll never find him because the God is dead.
God is dead, you killed him.
We are both professionals, doctor.
I know who you work for.
I know the work they do.
The work you do.
What do you think that would have happened to you and Jacob, if I had not selected you? Would you be here now, so full of purpose? If God is dead, we all killed him.
Syndey.
Do you remember the day¡­ my mother was buried? I will never forget that day.
You made me feel safe.
Safer than my own father.
And all you did, was to hold my hand.
Give me your gun.
He is a monster.
Do yourself and the world, a favor.
I cannot.
Why? Jarod.
Don't you see? I became the monster.
''Deadly Spill Revealed as Murder'' It's the other day on the bench.
I realize now, I did the wrong thing for all the wrong reasons.
The important thing is you are here, now.
Like someone once said, Nothing is more important than family.
Dad? I love you.
This will bring you luck too.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Take care, twinkie man.
I wish I had family.
What is that, Sydney? On the war.
You were in a concentration camp? My brother and I were kept in a cold and dark place.
For many years.
Like the Center? Not exactly, Jarod.
Did they hurt you? Not as much as they hurted my family.
They killed them all.
I will be your family.
I just got words that Dr.
Krieg has been extradited to lsrael.
This is just arrived.
Miss Parker.
Thank you.
Syd.
How many psychiatrists does it take to change one light-bulb? One.
But the light-bulb has to want to change.
Are you alright? Yes, well.
All my life I revenged against him, Jarod.
When I saw him the last time, I saw myself.
You are not a monster, Sydney.
And you are still¡­ my family.
Tell me something.
Have you ever been fishing? Why? Maybe we'll go, some day, just you and me.
