I was in the shower.
Hmm! Thanks for painting that one for me.

The worse kind.
I thought you were leaving town.
Well, I came to say goodbye, Sharpton.
And I knew you'd be here.
Like you are every night.
Collecting your payoff.

I heard that on a re-run.
I don't know what you are talking about.
Every night you head out alone, you make your run, collecting your drug money.
Then one night you hit a little girl.
You couldn't stop because of all the contrabands you had on board, so you let her to bleed to death.
Tell me, what you are going to do about it? I'm going to make sure that this is your last run.
You got it all down pat don't ya.
Well, you're right.
I do deliver drugs and I do love my money.
And I do head out alone.
But you left out a little something.
What's that? The part where I stop and pick up my partner.
Come on, we're going to be late.
He'll freeze to death out here.
Yeah.
It's a rough world, ain't it? There are pretenders among us I was taken from my family.

A genius who can become anyone that he wants to be.
- The Center wants him alive.
- Preferably.
He defends the weak and the abused.
Life is a gift.
THE PRETENDER Season 2 Episode 12 Toy Surprise YTET PRESENTS DICTATION: ±¿±¿/´Ð´Ð You are a doctor? I am, today.
Hey, wait! Don't twitch or the dog'll rip the Adam's apple clear out of your throat.

Ah there you go.
Hey, what're you looking at? You got something to add to this? Why don't you get out of here and go back to your bed.
Go on.
No.
No Don't try getting up, don't try getting up.
You need to just stay right there and rest.
You got smashed pretty hard.
You just rest.
You need to rest.
You need to rest.
You just rest.
What happened? What happened? Oh, Ah, You my friend have been mugged.
And oh no, they got all your money.
I'm, I'm sorry.
All your money's gone.
That's bad but your stuff is safe.
I saved your stuff.
That's good.
Where am I? Where are you? You my friend are in my little corner of paradise.
At least for now.
Hey, hey, ah, my name's Argyle by the way.
My name's Argyle.
And I'm called this on account of this birthmark that I got on the back of my thigh.
You want to see it? You want to check it out? No? Okay! That's cool.
Most people don't.
No offence taken.
You got a lot of stuff in here, dude.
Hey, I hope my patch job keeps in the blood, okay, because look, the dog never complained about the doctoring.
But hey, I think you'd be the better judge you being the real M.
D.
and all.
- Doctor? - Yeah.
You're a doctor, my friend.
This Id here says that your name is Jarod and you, my friend, are a thoracic surgeon.
Give me a 3 cc syringe and a size A ET tube.
She's going into respiratory arrest.
Prepare to ventilate.
Give me the syringe.
Remove the plunger.
Air entry on both sides of the chest.
She's pinking out.
Now that's a nice sound.
Come on.
Come on.
Yes! Yeah baby.
Now that's a nice sound.
We're gonna have us some heat now.
Oh.
Oh.
Nothing ever works in this place.
Including you.
Never! That's all going to change.
That's all going to change.
Real soon! I'm thinking four years of college.
I'm thinking Medical School.
I'm thinking doctoring prescriptions.
You know, I've been riding a wooden pony for years now.
And I'm thinking, you might just be my brass ring.
Brass Ring? Pot of gold, boy, ship that's come in.
The way out man.
I'm thinking the hospital'll pay a healthy finders fee for one of it prize physicians.
Not a doctor.
You're not a doctor? Come on.
Who, the hell, are you then? I don't know.
What is this? It's a T-board.
A what? What? T standing for torture.
The Centre Tribunal.
They want answers and until they get them we're not going anywhere.
Well, no.
You're kidding right? Don't soil yourself, Broots.
They want us unbalanced.
That's why they yanked us in the dead of night.
They're trying to fracture us emotionally.
Well, it's working.
I'm shattering.
How do you know so much about this? I've been on the other side of the glass.
So how does it turn out? Fine.
If you're on the other side of the glass.
Oh great! I knew Raines would be involved.
The question is who's behind it all.
The Triumvirate, cruskin.
Under whose authority? Bridget! That bitch is like a bad cough.
Who are those guys in the shadows? I don't know.
I need to get word to my father.
Here.
I'm not sure that he will be able to help.
Sydney! Hello lovey! Bridget.
The last time I saw you, you were trying to blow my father's helicopter out of the sky.
How did you get back in the Centre? Well, before we get to that, I promised some friends of mine I'd find out why after eighteen months, Jarod is still out there.
Not possible.
They created him.
They know what he's capable of.
Yes, they do.
They think, the only way that he could still be eluding the Center is that one, or all of you, are working with him.
They think that? Or you made them think that? Either way, no one's leaving until we find out who.
We start with you, Tex.
Whoever you are, you've got a tooth sweeter than mine, that's for sure.
Sugar's a killer, you know that? It will rot all the teeth out, right out of your head.
I'm lucky.
I'm blessed.
I've really good teeth.
They're all mine.
Hey, buddy? What's wrong? Oh no.
You don't know who you are and you're burning up.
That's what happens when you're left out in the elements.
That's what happens.
Your problem was you weren't looking over your shoulder.
You always gotta look over your shoulder, man.
There's always somebody back there in the dark, Some mook, some punk back there gunning for you, I know.
You gotta look over your shoulder, man.
Look over your shoulder.
Or maybe you're running away from this cutie pie.
Who's this? Hey Who's this pretty lady? What did she do? Bust your rocks for not bringing home the green.
Hey, you didn't bring home the green.
Maybe she's another doctor.
You know, you'd better think twice about that next time.
Well, I'll be John Brown.
I will be John Browned.
You're not a doctor.
You're a park ranger.
No, you're a fireman.
No, you're a roach exterminator.
No, you're a federal investigator.
I'm, I'm sorry, mister.
Could you help me out here for a second? I'm kind of at a loss here.
Who the hell are you? Mister? Mister? I don't know who I am.
I didn't do anything.
Broots scared.
How do you think he will hold up? Before or after he wets his pants? Can I, Can I have a robe? Is Jarod smarter than you? - Huh? - You've been chasing him for over a year.
Has he alluded you because he is smarter? No.
We try hard every day to find Jarod but the wheel of fortune just hasn't landed on our number yet.
Spinning, spinning, spinning.
Well, he is a Pretender.
He's a one-man Siegfried and Roy.
Show me what you have.
Jarod interconnected 173 international calls.
But backtracking those calls was impossible because instead of a call forwarding device triggered by a single call all one hundred and seventy-three calls was individually initiated.
- Ingenious.
- And very expensive.
I don't care what it cost.
Oh, that's good because Jarod charged them all to your calling card.
He's, he's clever and smart.
Which makes tracking Jarod more fun.
Fun? No! I Are you saying he's your hero? No.
I'm No, I'm not saying that.
Then what are you saying? Just I'm just saying that Jarod's clever.
You can see it in his eyes.
You can tell.
According to your file you've never laid eyes on Jarod.
You never have, have you? No.
I, ah, I'm referring to pictures.
Hello, Mr Broots.
Oh, my God! Help me, please.
Eighteen months, no results.
We find it hard to believe that someone could be this inept on purpose.
Help me Mr Broots! If you're not helping Jarod then who is? Can I have a robe please? You're like you and me.
Bunch of names.
Travel light.
Man on the run.
Who are you running from anyway? John Law.
The man with a smile on his face and the evil in his heart? Huh? Who you running from? Hey.
Maybe you got a bounty on your head? Your head's burning up.
You're burning up, man.
Oh no.
This is not good.
You've been out in the elements too long man.
Out in the elements too long.
I knew it.
This is not good.
I knew it.
This is bad.
Jarod! Jarod! I love you, Jarod.
Don't leave me.
Please don't leave me.
Come on! Hey! Hey! Are you okay, man? Are you okay? No! No! No, don't you die on me, man.
Don't you die on me! Don't you leave me! You're my brass ring man! Come on! Don't you die on me, man! Don't you die on me, man! I know the escape procedure.
The fire! It's too hot! It comes into the airline.
I try not to breathe but it is too late.
I can't open the hatch.
I can't open the hatch! No one can get to us.
We can't be saved.
I'm burning! I'm burning! I'm burning! I'm burning! Hey! Your fever broke.
Doubt left you with me for a while.
So, what's the Centre? Your your little freakish home movies are all labelled ''For Centre Use Only.
'' What's the Centre? I don't know.
You don't know! II'll tell you what I think, Jarod.
I think that you got a big brain.
And I think that these Centre guys, I think they're after you.
And I think that means you're worth something to them, which means you're worth a lot to me.
You see I got a big brain too.
Jarod, I got a big brain too.
Why won't you work? Why won't you work? Why won't you work? I'm just trying to fix things, Jarod.
I'm just trying to make them right.
Not a big deal.
No big deal.
Just trying to fix things.
Who are you? The proudest woman in the world.
Who am I? Just trust your feelings.
Always trust your feelings.
Jarod, I told you I can't accept this.
But I made it for you.
This card is meant for someone else.
Don't you love me, Sydney? We have work to do.
Is Sydney your dad or something? I'm so glad I left Debbie at her god mother's.
I can't believe how long they've had Sydney out there.
You wear a watch to bed? Yeah.
Why? In case I wake up and, you know, need to document something.
Let us continue.
When are they going to leave him alone? When they hear what they want to hear.
He's been out there for six hours already.
And they'll take another six if they want to.
What are they doing this for? Because they can.
Jarod is my life's work.
My interest in him is primarily scientific.
That interest demands that I remain objective which precludes the possibility of guilt.
Don't you love me, Sydney? Forgive me father for I have sinned.
I have betrayed a friend.
Have you prayed to the Lord? Not even he can forgive me for what I have done.
The bond between Jarod and me is as unique as Jarod is special.
Unique enough for you to be fighting for his freedom.
I would never do that.
Jarod's a very complex case.
I've tried to keep him alive and to hold his psyche in check during this pursuit.
What are you? His wet nurse? We must be patient.
Your tactics are far too aggressive.
The day you really anger Jarod is the day that he will disappear forever.
I have tried to bring him back.
That is my objective.
As a scientist, I think The Centre is as good a place as he will find to maximise his tremendous potential.
You don't know who Jarod is.
You don't know who Jarod is You're not a doctor.
You're a park ranger.
No, you're a fireman.
No, you're a roach exterminator.
No, a federal investigator.
I'm sorry, mister.
Who the hell are you - How are you? - I can be anything I want to be.
I can be a doctor, I can be an engineer, I can be an astronaut.
But I don't know who I am.
Our father gave you this.
Who the hell are you? I'm your brother.
Jarod, go and find our parents.
I want to know what I look like.
I want to know who I am.
I want to know who I am I'm not really a plastic surgeon.
My name is Jarod.
I'm not really a doctor.
Jarod Jones.
I'm not really in the Coast Guard.
Jarod Kent.
Jarod O'Leary.
Jarod Wright.
Who the hell are you? Well, I sure as hell aren't Florence Nightingale.
This is who you look like.
This is who you are You're my son.
You're my life.
I love you, Jarod.
Then one night you hit a little girl.
Jarod.
Hi, Jarod.
Hello? Hello.
My name is Argyle.
A.
R.
G.
Y.
L.
E.
Um? Is this the Centre? Maybe.
Why? I don't know.
Maybe I've got something you want.
Uh huh! Well, I'm all ears.
Dog here, he's a hero.
See I rescued him from the pond.
And he saved you.
He saved you, I saved him.
It's ironic.
It's ironic.
Yeah? When did I go from patient to prisoner? Prisoner.
Prisoner.
Prisoner! That's cold man.
That's cold.
What would you call it? What would I call it? What would I call it? I, I call it ironic.
I call it ironic.
I call it ironic.
Just slip into my skin for a second, would you? Just for a second, slip into my skin.
A wigged out stewardess, gets a hangnail.
Kills the entire flight crew.
Three hundred people drop out of the clouds.
Boom! A postman goes postal.
Bang! A Bus driver goes bustal.
Crash! And we, we all sit idly by and say ¡°You are crazy man.
Crazy.
That was so crazy.
I'm glad it wasn't me.
¡± The point is you've been sprouting crazy here a while now.
And I'm just making sure that's not me.
Okay.
Fair's fair.
And by the way, I'm not into hurting you either.
So you can rack easy on that bro.
Hey, I wish we had a deck of cards because I got this great trick I could show you.
Is that my phone? Yeah.
Who'd you call? Yeah! I just called the doctor.
I called your doctor to see if he made house calls.
.
You called Sydney? No.
No.
No.
He wasn't there but a lady answered.
- Miss Parker? - No.
No.
No.
No.
It's Bridget.
- She sounded sexy.
- Did you tell them where you are? What? Do I look like a road sign? Listen to me.
These people.
This organisation.
They will kill you.
Trust me.
Trust you? No, you listen to me.
Trust.
Trust.
Great word.
Right? Trust.
It's on every coin, every bill, every buck, every bond in this country.
And yet it's still the one thing you still can't buy.
Argyle! They are setting you up! No! No! No! No! No! No! Bridget said you'd have an answer for everything and you do.
Don't ruin everything.
It's good here.
It's good.
It's good.
Three hours ago you didn't know whether you were park ranger or rodeo clown.
Now you're cracking foxy about some secret organisation that wants to hurt me.
It's you they want, my friend.
It's you.
I just happen to hold the deed.
You listen to me.
I speak from experience.
You're dealing with the devil.
Thank you for joining us, Miss Parker.
Well, it was an invitation that I simply couldn't pass up.
Lose the butt.
You don't have to worry about me blowing smoke.
Put it out! This is cruel.
Even for a T-Board.
Fire away, babe.
I'm not going anywhere.
The Triumvirate is a bit murky concerning your motives in the pursuit of Jarod.
Well.
Maybe they should pull their heads out of their sand boxes.
I do my job.
Period! What we are looking for is the truth.
Truth? That is a very interesting word coming from you.
So you have no other agenda in doing your job.
No unresolved issues or conflicts with the Centre or Jarod.
I have no unresolved issues with the Centre.
Is that the truth? I know the truth, Miss Parker.
And what truth is that, Jarod? The truth about what makes you sad.
Daddy, I want to know what really happened to my Mum.
I have no unresolved issues with the Centre.
You didn't answer about Jarod.
Where did you find my mother's ring.
In one of your mother's safe deposit boxes.
Like her medical file.
Oh, you'd be surprised what one can find in there.
Jarod! You know the dance, Miss Parker.
You help me with one of my secrets, I help you with one of yours.
We weren't able to find anything about Igor or Fenigor.
I don't know if he was my mother's allier or betrayer.
Well, keep searching.
Igor holds the secret to both our pasts.
What makes you so sure? Call it a gut feeling.
So you're saying that in your past year and a half pursuit he's not had any undue influence on you? That's what I'm saying.
Not of any kind? No influence at all! Not even emotional? They say it's better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all.
Do you believe that's true? You paint a pretty sad picture.
How do we end up like this? Like what? Alone.
Searching.
It's ironic because we both want the same things.
Someone to care about someone to care about us.
Do you think we'll ever find that kind of love in our lifes? How do we end up like this? Miss Parker? Miss Parker? Hi! We're done here.
Miss Parker.
You may have a cigarette now.
I just quit.
Mr.
Argyle.
You know Bridget.
If your body is half as good as your brain you and I might just find a way, you know.
Coming from a man of your brilliance that's quite a compliment.
Hey, by the way you hit it right on the nail indeed about cashew boy here.
He's a nut, alright? Yes.
He's crazy.
But he's resourceful! So have you come up with a price? Bridget.
If this is about Jarod Shhh.
I'm on the phone.
You know, I was out scamming this softie suburbanite the other day out of his lunch money when I saw this dapper Dan in a Rolls Royce.
A Rolls Royce, Huh? Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah! Real, real shiny! Anyway, this guy right, he gets out of the car, and I find myself staring at his threads, right.
I'm staring at this cat's threads and I'm thinking to myself I don't know the dude from the president of England.
I don't know if he's a liar, if he kicks his dog, if he smacks his old lady, nothing.
And yet, I find myself having this instant, incredible respect for the guy on account of the suit he's wearing.
Ah hah! Go On.
Yeah! His suit, his shirt, his watch, his loafers, the whole kit and caboodle.
One piece more expensive than the next.
Silk on silk.
Leather on leather.
And you know, I'm thinking to myself, Bridget, I'm thinking to myself, to drape this guy it must have cost at least, I don't know, at least ten thousand dollars, Bridget.
Is that the price of respect, Mr Argyle? Hey! Hey, a man ain't squat without respect.
Well, ten thousand dollars is a great deal of money but I think I can convince my people to approve it.
No! No! Big brain.
Don't do this.
Bridget? Write this down.
That's just three hours away.
I'm on the next plane.
If you've found, Jarod I am the only one who can bring him in.
Sorry darling.
This time he comes in.
Hey! Hey! It's all for the best.
You're going back where you belong.
I'm getting out of here.
It'll all be fine.
Trust me.
Trust me! This sucks! Why are they making us just sit here and wait.
So when wonder woman brings him in it will prove the point we didn't because one of us was helping him.
Leaving us as good as dead, huh? I never thought that I'd be rooting for Jarod.
I didn't mean that.
I didn't mean that! Daddy! Angel.
Oh, I came as soon as I found out.
How dare they put my daughter through a T-Board.
- Are you alright? - For now.
You'll all be out of here after I lop off a few heads.
Daddy, be careful.
Right.
Boy, I never thought I'd be glad to see your old man.
Yeah, I'm glad he's here too, Broots.
Unfortunately, there's reason to believe he's been here the whole time.
I'm sorry, Parker.
He's done it again.
Mr.
Argyle? Bridget? - Nice to see you.
- Nice to see you! Get the case out of the trunk, Willie.
Yes.
You've got something for me in the trunk, Willie? I bring you respect in a bag.
Oh wow.
Ten thousand real ones.
Where's Jarod? He's in the basement, in the boiler room.
Hey! Willie, when you see I've Jarod, put a bullet in his brain, if you can find it.
My pleasure.
What are you talking about ''bullet in my brain''? That's not nice! Hey, hey.
Damn! Well, if it isn't sleeping beauty.
And they said you were so hard to catch.
Time to rise and shine.
Wake up, my little love muffin.
Come on, baby, wake Up! Wake up.
Hi.
Time to go home.
Sorry.
But I'm never going back there.
You're not so mean.
Nice to see you again, Willie.
Hi! Your brass ring.
I knew you were the one to trust right from the start.
On second thought.
I think I'll donate it to the pond.
In dog's name.
Like you said, he's the hero.
Give me back my pez.
Bridget? Nope! Sorry! It's just Jarod.
But you can come and pick up your blonde now.
Sweet dreams, love.
She blew it, didn't she? - Jarod? - Alive, still free! So are you.
Thanks for the robe.
Give ne a lift? To where, daddy? Another dead end.
- What are you talking about? - Don't you dare! You set me up, for a T-Board? I was wondering how long it would take you to figure that out.
Come on.
You really don't think I could fool you.
You're a Parker.
I'd be stupid to even try.
Besides these damn shoes are killing me.
If this is true, then why would you ally with Bridget? Bridget cut a deal with the Triumvirate.
Your butt for hers.
I had to go along with her to get rid of her for good.
Action, reaction.
Give and take.
It's not about who knows what It's about who thinks they know what and what you want them to think.
- I - To keep the hungry dogs away you must toss them a bone now and then.
Is that what I am? A bone? You're my legacy and you proved it again today.
Never forget that.
It'll keep you alive.
Trust me.
You should find something you can trust.
And you trust me.
Trust me.
How can you still trust him? Trust him? Will you be alright, Miss Parker? Of course.
Let's get out of here.
Let's go.
Let's go.
Sydney, do you think that someone in the Centre is really helping Jarod? In the Centre? Anything's possible.
We're still searching for him and we'll find the leak.
Did you uncover something that can help us find Jarod, Angelo? Keep working.
Keep working.
See you tomorrow, same bat time same bat channel.
You remember me? You don't learn so easy, do you, pal? Maybe not.
But I never make the same mistake twice.
Who the hell are you? I'm many people.
But tonight I'm a truck driver.
