The Pretender s02e17 Episode Script
Crash
''Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for your patience during the delay'' - ''We'll now begin boarding our airflight 105 San Diego.
'' - Oh, man! Is there a problem? I got bumped.
I'm sure it was an accident.
With this many people it's bound to be on attendant physical contact.
No.
I got bumped from the flight.
They are overbooked.
Oh.
I may miss registration.
You know I became a freshman of Art in San Diego.
Next flight is in five hours.
By then, all the class I need will be closed.
Here, take my seat.
No, no.
Look, I am not in a hurry.
It's not like anybody's chasing me, today.
Take it.
- Oh, man.
Are you sure? - I'm positive.
Thanks.
That's been real pleasure talking to you these last few hours.
You have a bright future ahead of you, Daniel.
Good luck.
Thanks Jarod.
I hope you'll find your family.
Thank you.
Thanks, Jarod.
You really saved my life.
What happened to your finger? Broke in my wrestling.
What did you do last night? - Sorry to ask.
- Yeah.
Everything alright? - Mr.
Lyle's personal file? - My father wants a list of anyone who might be Lyle's ally.
Ever since Lyle's death, my father has been lobbying the Triumvirate to take off his position.
But he is running into blue blocks.
The allies of Mr' Lyle know that your father opposed him.
The fact that you killed him only increases their resistance to his promotion.
Even dead, Lyle is pinning the ass.
Something was, excuse me, something was just delivered.
I think you want to see.
This one.
- Lockers? - Where the hell did these come from? Jaord sent them.
Class of 1983, Douglas High School.
Townsend, Nebraska.
Why did Jarod send this yearbooks? Page two.
There is a name tag in my book.
Who is Ricky Sanders? Professor Tom Greer.
- Oh, god.
- Who did you get? Mrs.
Ricky Sanders.
- I always thought you'd make a nice couple.
- Yeah, when monkeys fly.
Jarod is expecting us to attend this reunion, Mrs.
Sanders.
Brilliant inside, Syd.
But then it did make you the professor.
Look at this.
''Always stay the way you are, unless you want to survive.
'' That's Jarod telling us for a danger.
Broots, I want to check all the in this book.
Until I have more information, I'm not in the Armpit Oklahoma.
It's Nebraska.
Hell is hell, Broots.
What's going on? Flight 105 has crashed near San Diego.
What? There were fatalities.
Thanks, Jarod.
You really saved my life.
There was a young man on board.
I gave him my seat.
His name is Daniel Falk.
- I am sorry, sir.
I can't just give out - please! Daniel Falk's body was positively identified at the scene.
I'm sorry.
Thanks, Jarod.
You really saved my life.
There are pretenders among us.
I was taken from my family.
Thitry-six hours, he is already demonstrating more talent than any of our others.
How many people died because of what I thought up? Since I broke up, I spent very moment searching for my past.
He is a pretender.
A genius who can become anyone that he wants to be.
- the Center wants him alive.
- Preferably.
He defends the weak and abused.
Life is a gift.
THE PRETENDER Season 2 Episode 17 Crash -= YTET PRESENTS =- DICTATION: ±¿±¿/´Ð´Ð You are a doctor? I am today.
Thanks for Lady, fuselage stayed intact.
Kept the body count down.
Clark Thomas.
Jarod Lindsay, NTSB Washington.
I am here to help with the investigation.
I can't get paper close up our request, but an investigator I don't need that they send to me.
Well, if you like you could get Washington on the phone.
You could tell them yourself what incompetent managers they are.
Diane Post.
I prefer able buddies to paper clips, welcome.
We just got these surveillance photos from the crash scene.
Any signs of mechanical problems? No.
The plane passed FA inspection last week.
We are focusing on pilot error.
Both pilots survived? They've been to Centennial Memorial.
- Flight recorder? - It'll come in a while.
I want to be there when it's opened.
Do I look anything like this Ricky Sanders guy? If you swallow the blimp.
How did Jarod expect me to fool anyone to believe that I am him? Just tell them you shut up with Jenny Craig before you married me.
That don't explain the hair.
It's a high school reunion, Broots.
The only thing more pervasive than love handles with smaller What about Mrs.
.
.
, pig? Oh, no photo.
You are not alumni.
Apparently Ricky met his wife overseas.
They both work as missionaries at a catholic charity in Africa.
This amuses you.
That Jarod wants people to believe that you are a missionary.
Broots, did you find anything about Professor Tom Greer? He was only at the school for one semester in 83.
Taught obscure languages.
He died in Hawaii two years ago.
Rest of class's business is usual.
Oh, last page here there is a list of people under the words ''camera shy''.
Oh, yeah.
They didn't have their photo taken.
I tracked them down.
There is nothing special.
Except, well, two were dead.
A deader than Townsend, Nebraska.
Call the hotel and book some rooms for the shindig.
Oh, Jarod already did.
There are non-smoking rooms.
Perfect.
Mr.
Larson, some questions! Do you have anything to say to the families of the victims? My heart goes out to everyone involved.
As a father who almost lost his son, I certainly share their pains.
Can you tell us what happened? He is not allowed to issue a statement until he talks to the NTSB.
But I would like to offer my prayers to those who lost loved ones.
Excuse us, please.
I just want make sure my son gets little rest, okay? Thank you, thank you very much.
First thing first.
Let us see what the pilot has to say.
She suffered blunt trauma to the temple lobe which affects memory acquisition.
The chances of recording details of the crash are extremely slim.
So there is really nothing you can tell us? Like I said, I can remember being on the approach to San Diego.
And I can remember the screams.
But besides that, I am sorry.
Thank you for your time, Mrs.
Wylie.
We'll be in touch.
I'll be outside in a second.
You are going to be alright.
It's like somebody painted my mind black.
When I think about my passengers, maybe it's better that I can't remember.
I want to make a difference of my life.
I read this quote once.
''We have but a rich moment in time.
'' It made me realise we aren't here for so long.
Eleven people died.
But I lived.
What makes me so special? I can remember being on the approach to San Diego.
And I can remember the screams.
Eleven people died.
But I lived.
What makes me so special? Can you believe how friendly the Nebraskans are? This isn't Nebraska, Broots.
It's a halfway house for Ricky, Ricky, is that you? You have changed.
You lost a ton, son.
And this must be Nobody you want to know.
Well.
Maybe we'll see you and the Mrs later at the hill ride.
Yeah, the hill ride, okay.
A way to blend in.
All set.
Now this is mine.
And 305 is for you two.
- You two? - Small town, Mrs.
Sanders.
The last thing we want is for people to wonder why you're not staying with your husband.
There'll better be booze in the courtesy bar, or someone is going to pay.
Hey.
I thought we've agreed that I would be here when we open these boxes.
We couldn't locate you and time isn't some we have a lot over around here.
Evidence from the flight data recorder indicates the elevators were set at a wrong angle for landing.
Giving the flight we do speed on descent, fail of the elevators to provide proper lift led directly to the crash.
- Who set the elevators? - We don't know.
- The cockpit voice recorder is still in lock.
- Malfunction.
Never started recording on take off.
I've never heard of this happening before.
It is rare, but not without presence.
Hell that happened on the flight I piloted once.
At least now, with no mechanical malfunction, we can focus on pilot error.
Which leaves the question.
Which pilot? My dad tells me how to play.
You never play basketball with your dad? I just want my parents proud.
You did, Daniel.
You did.
''Airista Crash Claims Eleven Lives'' ''Pilot Error Questioned'' ''Families Grieve'' I don't know if I'll ever be able to climb to the cockpit again.
You get no argument from me.
You're gonna be far too busy in Airista.
Brandon is one day going to take over the organisation.
Sooner I get him behind the desk, the better.
Mr.
Larson, we need to question Brandon alone.
Well, I am not here as the head of the airline, and here as Brandon's father.
We will appreciate that, sir, but this is standard procedure.
Fine, if you need me, I'll be in the waiting room.
Brandon.
The voice recorder on your flight aren't function.
We have no record of what happened in the cockpit.
Mrs.
wylie suffered a head trauma.
Therefore your memory of the event is critical.
We'd like you to carefully take of last few minutes before the crash.
We just received final approach instructions.
I was focused on my checklist.
Everything seemd calm.
And all the sudden, we stalled.
Angela was yelling about the mountain.
I looked down my window, just to see the wings slash into trees.
You seem to be very warm.
Would you like some water? No, no.
No, it's this pain killers.
Made me a little fevers.
Anyway, I can only guess some of our gauges are malfunctional.
According to the flight data recorder, all systems were working fine.
It indicated the elevators were set at 0 instead of 20 degrees.
That's why the plane stalled on its descend.
Oh, god.
What is it? - Is there something on your mind? - This is really hard.
Angela is a good friend.
We've logged over half million miles together.
But? When I called out ''elevators 20 degrees'' on the checklist, Angela gave me a positive.
I guess she just wasn't paying attention.
Look, Jarod, it was pilot error.
- And the pilot seems to be Angela Wylie.
- Maybe.
The guy tells exactly what happened and what do you need.
He said he was on pain killers.
Principal actions of those compounds are analgesics and sedation.
Wouldn't cause a fever.
Isn't that possible that guy's just nervous rack? Pilots are human.
If I've just been in the plane crash, and I detained my friend, I'll be sweating too.
Is that what you really belive, Diane? You know, Miss Parker, if you look at this like a mini vacation from the Center, you may actually enjoy yourself.
These people are dead from neck up and don't even know it.
Why? Because the couple in the lobby were married for 14 years and they go to church on sunday, and they coach little league? I wish my exwife and I had been that lucky.
Just how hard did you fall on your head when you fall from the turnip truck? Okay.
What's so great about your life? You're forced to stay at the Center until you catch a guy they stole from his parents.
You drown by the murder of your mother.
Competing for your father's attention with a ball headed lunatic dragging with oxygen tank then you Careful! I am just saying, I'd take a sunday sermon and a little league game any day with all that.
Hey.
Jarod sent us another yearbook, marking down the page that list the students who are absent for the graduation picture.
''Not every picture tells a story'', what does that mean? He wants us to focus on the ''camera shy''.
Coming? Dear? The blood test on you and Brandon were negative.
So there will be felony charges but You will be charged with negligence.
I suggest you contact the pilot's union and arrange for legal council.
Oh, my god.
Angela.
The voice recorder malfunctioned.
The only thing we have to go on is Brandon's testimony.
If there is anything at all that you can remember.
I can't remember anything.
The voice recorder did not function? The imprints are already demagnetized.
Hi.
How are you doing? Hey.
Any look with the ''camera shy''? I found two.
Both are for village idiot of that year.
- You? - I met one.
Farmer's wife, seven kids, wallet full of pictures.
And guess whom he's married to? Zena.
What's your secret? You gonna ask her.
I've never met a missionary before.
There is a shocker.
And Ricky! Who ever thought he became a man of God.
You know, he and I dated a few times.
Has he ever mentioned me? He often remind this about, playing tongues on hockey with you in the barn after the saturday night hoot nannie.
Ladies and gentlemen, Before we come to the end of this wonderful evening, I'd like to take a moment to remember a couple of students who no longer with us because the Lord to call them on home.
The first is, - Diana Hydra.
- Oh, god.
It's almost over.
And we're not close to knowing why Jarod sent us here.
And when we start.
If you may remember he died in the senior year.
So we don't have a graduation photo of Bobby Bowman.
But we were able to enlarge a picture from a group shot of the Farmers of Tomorrow club.
- I'm out of here.
- Miss Parker! Oh, my god.
This resemblance is unmistakable.
Bobby Bowman is Mr.
Lyle? Are you sure this is Brandon Larson's file? This lab has zero tolerance for error.
The stakes were too high.
Something doesn't make sense.
Brandon Larson's last FAA physical macrostatic blood count was ten.
But in this test you took after the crash, the count is fifteen.
I thought macrostatic blood counts never vary.
They don't.
Who brought in these blood samples? Your chief investigator, Clark Thomas.
Don't let Jarod's wild speculations confuse you.
And what about Brandon's sweating? He said pain killers wouldn't do that.
Diane, listen that the evidence is very clear.
Just have that report ready to go in the morning.
One tried to give me illegal payoff.
But my dad was telling me you can never go wrong doing the right thing.
I turned him down.
What did your dad teach you, Clark? You saved my life Thanks, Jarod, you really saved my life.
Sydney.
A young man died because of me.
I gave my seat on airplane.
The plane crashed.
I am sorry.
Jarod, we all want to believe that we can control the events in life.
But it's only an illusion.
He had everything to live for.
Family.
Future.
Now he is gone.
I am still here.
I am afraid you and I could spend the rest of this lifetime debating fate, Jarod.
Lifetime? Is that how long this will hurt? Anything? - I found a police file on Bobby Bowman according to the Omaha's coroner's records - Up here, Broots.
Omaha's coroner reported Bobby Bowman was murdered sixteen years ago.
By his father.
Mr.
Lyle, Bobby Bowman it is, faked his own murder, and framed his father? And I thought my family was screwed up.
Bowman's body was found headless and in the bed of his father's pick-up truck.
But the body was so decomposed that they couldn't get the proper ID.
Have lost sound trace of dental records and of course, decomposition would make fingerprint identification impossible.
So, if the body was not Mr.
Lyle's, then, whose body was it? Broots, go back to the Blue Cove, see if you can find out Lyle's early years in the Center.
- And us? - You and I are gonna pay a visit to Mamie Elkem.
Bobby was adopted, you know.
Bobby was a good little boy for the most part.
And then when he was around fifteen years old, something just seemed to snap.
Okay, boys, come and get it.
One day, he was sweet sugar.
The next, mean as a snake, violent too.
After a while, my husband just couldn't deal with him.
He felt Bobby need a discipline.
So he started to lock him in the shed out in the back.
I felt that was a little harsh.
But as my husband said, the roof didn't leek and there was no vermin in it.
You two dogs stop that barking and get in here.
This's a friend of Bobby's? Oh, Jimmy Radloff.
But he died.
That was a sad day for Bobby.
How did Jimmy die? Bobby and Jimmy went hiking one day.
They got separated.
Only Bobby came home.
Jimmy just disappeared without a trace.
Well, they looked all over for him but they never found his body.
I've heard enough! Hey! You don't stop your howling Now we know whose body Lyle used to frame his dad.
Personally, I felt that Jimmy ran off and away.
He came from a terrible family.
His father was a drunkard and his mother, well, Lyle and I always thought she was deaf Lyle? That's my husband's name.
Although he insisted Bobby called him mister.
Angela? They told me the hospital you've been released that May I come in? It's kind of dark in here, don't you think? That's not the answer.
All that I've ever wanted to do is be a pilot.
They were preliminaries findings.
Nothing has been decided.
No.
They already told me to get an attorney.
That's standard procedure.
That will be civil sues.
I can't face those families.
Listen to me.
I don't believe that the crash was your fault.
Based on what? Those people who had their lives taken from them, they had no choice.
Don't dishonour their memory by taking your own.
Give me the chance to prove you are innocent.
Once Jimmy Radloff disappeared, Bobby really got bad.
Though there was no control of him except lock him in the shed.
He hit his father with a shovel once.
I'm pretty sure that that was this push Lyle to kill Bobby.
And cut off his head? Well, I did think that was a bit extreme.
Where is your husband now? Solitary confinement, Topeka Penitentiary.
Lyle rubs people the wrong way.
I best get supper on The shed measures eight by ten.
Same as a prison cell.
If my father had locked me at a hole like this, I wouldn't have framed him, I would've killed him.
Clearly Mr.
Lyle was driven to influence slower functioned.
Unfortunately he didn't confine his need to just his father.
I am sorry to bother you, sir.
But I've received the rather disturbing tip.
That your son was using prescription drugs, not on the FAA authorize list.
- It is ridiculous.
- Maybe so.
But accusation is so serious that going to require an investigation.
I assure you if my son've done anything that foolish, I would know about it.
You have any idea how many flight truckies are barking for a seat in the cockpit for their major career? I know some who had no trouble lieing to get pilot grounded, open up a slot I am sure that's true.
Why would he jeopardise his future by taking unauthorized drugs? Besides, I wouldn't allow him to.
I have no choice on this matter.
You always have the choice.
Tell it to the victims of flight 105.
- Clark Thomas.
- Jarod Lindsay was just here.
He said he is going forward with an investigation to rumours that my son is using unauthorized prescription drugs.
- Where did he hear that? - I don't know.
It doesn't matter.
What does matter, is the fact that you promised to have this thing off, agree? Yes, sir.
Then get on it.
''Reconstructing Data, Demagnetizing Cylinder'' My gilr-friend gave me this.
She is afraid I'm gonna forget her.
It is nice known to have somebody care so much about you.
Besides folks, you know I mean.
Yep.
''Data Reconstruction Complete'' Our elevators are at zero degrees.
I told you to put two notches.
- We're not gonna clear that way - I'm sorry, Angela - Pull up, pull up.
- I am sorry, Angela! Oh, My God! I told you to put two notches.
We're not gonna clear that way.
Pull up, pull up.
Our elevators are at zero degrees.
I told you to put two notches.
We're not gonna clear that way.
- Pull up, pull up.
- I am sorry, Angela! I forgot.
I'm sorry, Oh, My God! Our elevators are at zero degrees.
I told you to put two notches.
We're not This's your idea of sick joke? No.
My idea of a sick joke is lying to protect your career while destroying Angela Wylie's.
You are crazy.
Am I? She didn't cause the crash.
You did.
It wasn't your blood that Clark Thomas took to the lab.
You were flying alright.
And what? Speed? Methamphetamines to sharpen your senses? So why you're sweating so badly.
That's not true.
Did you know that Angela was thinking of taking her own life, because she couldn't deal with the guilt of killing eleven people? Shall we let her? Rounded up to a nice even dozen? All because of you.
I'll see you can take a position at Airista and make your father happy.
There is no room for error with my father.
You have to be perfect.
And if you're not, he just bribe Clark's tongue to fix it, right? He found about my drug intake after the crash.
And it's routine he's been control like he controls everything else.
He picked my schools, my girlfriends, my career.
So how much works does he have to get before you say no? You don't understand.
Nobody says no to my father.
Not me, not Clark Thomas, no one.
Don't you think it's time that someone did? So Mr.
Bowman, tell us about your son, Bobby.
Bobby.
I hated that little bastard.
But I didn't kill him.
Who did? If I knew that, I wouldn't be in here, would I? If I'd bet I'd say it was probably that counselor that started coming around when Bobby was fifteen years old.
From the adoption agency.
Said he was checking up to see how Bobby was getting along.
But Bobby was getting along fine till he showed up.
They started spending time together.
Too much time.
Do you remember anything about this counselor? Oh, my lawyer tried to find him ever after I was arrested.
But he never worked for the adoption agency.
Oh, I think no.
These padlock cutouts on the wall, what do they signify, Mr.
Bowman? Somebody's idea of sick joke.
They've been showing up once a month ever since I got here.
I use them to keep track of time.
Except for the last month when they stopped coming.
That's because Mr.
Lyle is dead.
Diane.
I want you to hear something.
Clark? It's Jarod.
There is something I want to see you about.
A jump plane? At least you can take me up a plane with a door.
What are you doing here? Lindsay called, said he found something at the crash site you wanted me to see.
Oh, good.
Everyone is here.
Shall we? I am sorry, Mr.
Larson.
There must be a misunderstanding.
Oh, there has been no misunderstanding.
I've uncovered some new evidence about what caused the crash.
What kind of new evidence? The kind you have to see to believe.
Gentlemen.
- Why are we so low? - Better to simulate the descent of flight 105.
Hey, will you take over for a minute? I have to go in the back.
Why don't you take my seat? It'll get a better view.
What new evidence could he have found? There was nothing left on that mountain.
The head has already been examined.
Alright, what the hell is this all about? Jarod? Jarod.
He jumped! What the hell is going on here? Pull up, get out of the tour.
I can't.
It's jammed.
The hydraulic is Problem, boys? Well, now you know how Angela Wylie felt when she realised she was going to crash.
Now there is a way for you to survive.
But it comes at a price.
What do you want? Truth.
About how you bribed Clark Thomas to cover for the fact that was really your son, that caused the crash of flight 105.
Speechless, ah? Careful.
The voice recorder is taking down everything you say.
Only Clark won't be able to demagnetize the voice cylinder.
If they find what's left in the plane, they will do toxicology test on your bodies.
Anything you got to hide, Mr.
Larson? Oh, it's too bad.
Because Clark won't be around to temper with the blood tests.
Damn it, Jarod! Okay, I did it, I took the bribe.
Now unlock the slabs.
What about you, Mr.
Larson? Larson, tell him, damn it.
Is your reputation more important to you than your life? Larson.
We are going to crash, tell him.
Alright, it's solved.
I bribed Clark Thomas to protect my son.
Clark, there is a toggle switch underneath your seat.
Push it backward.
I was close.
Just let you know, there is only enough gas in your tank to get you back San Diego.
Oh, by the way, there is a police car waiting for you when you get there.
I am not buying your theory about Mr.
Lyle's, Syd.
Please, Miss Parker, listen.
All I am saying is as if Lyle was able to fake his death as a teenager, well, perhaps he has done it again.
And that's what Jarod has been trying to tell us all this time, that Lyle is alive.
I shot the son of bitch myself, Sydney.
I saw him fall into the river, you and I were there together when they dragged his body from the water.
A headless body.
So? - Exactly the way he faked his death the last time.
- There is no last time, the man is dead.
There is nothing on Lyle.
Except for date of employment and date of termination.
But I did find this under the name of Bobby Bowman.
It's a copy of adoption paper giving custody of Bobby, Mr.
Lyle, to the Bowman's.
It's only one reason the Center would have records of Lyle's adoption.
They arranged it.
- I'll get Lyle's body exhumed - Oh, no, no, you can't.
The Center had Lyle's body cremated.
''Plane Crashed Cover-up Revealed'' Thank you, Jarod.
You saved my life.
Can I help you? Oh, Daniel.
My name is Jarod.
I met Daniel while we were waiting for the plane.
It was overbooked and he was going to get bumped.
He was worried about missing his registration.
I don't understand.
I gave your son my seat on the flight.
I am so sorry.
I just thought you¡ I should probably go.
Wait.
Jarod.
Please, would you, would you come inside? Tell us about your time with our son.
Thanks, Jarod.
You really saved my life.
''Crash'' End Dictation: ±¿±¿/´Ð´Ð -= YTET Presents =-
'' - Oh, man! Is there a problem? I got bumped.
I'm sure it was an accident.
With this many people it's bound to be on attendant physical contact.
No.
I got bumped from the flight.
They are overbooked.
Oh.
I may miss registration.
You know I became a freshman of Art in San Diego.
Next flight is in five hours.
By then, all the class I need will be closed.
Here, take my seat.
No, no.
Look, I am not in a hurry.
It's not like anybody's chasing me, today.
Take it.
- Oh, man.
Are you sure? - I'm positive.
Thanks.
That's been real pleasure talking to you these last few hours.
You have a bright future ahead of you, Daniel.
Good luck.
Thanks Jarod.
I hope you'll find your family.
Thank you.
Thanks, Jarod.
You really saved my life.
What happened to your finger? Broke in my wrestling.
What did you do last night? - Sorry to ask.
- Yeah.
Everything alright? - Mr.
Lyle's personal file? - My father wants a list of anyone who might be Lyle's ally.
Ever since Lyle's death, my father has been lobbying the Triumvirate to take off his position.
But he is running into blue blocks.
The allies of Mr' Lyle know that your father opposed him.
The fact that you killed him only increases their resistance to his promotion.
Even dead, Lyle is pinning the ass.
Something was, excuse me, something was just delivered.
I think you want to see.
This one.
- Lockers? - Where the hell did these come from? Jaord sent them.
Class of 1983, Douglas High School.
Townsend, Nebraska.
Why did Jarod send this yearbooks? Page two.
There is a name tag in my book.
Who is Ricky Sanders? Professor Tom Greer.
- Oh, god.
- Who did you get? Mrs.
Ricky Sanders.
- I always thought you'd make a nice couple.
- Yeah, when monkeys fly.
Jarod is expecting us to attend this reunion, Mrs.
Sanders.
Brilliant inside, Syd.
But then it did make you the professor.
Look at this.
''Always stay the way you are, unless you want to survive.
'' That's Jarod telling us for a danger.
Broots, I want to check all the in this book.
Until I have more information, I'm not in the Armpit Oklahoma.
It's Nebraska.
Hell is hell, Broots.
What's going on? Flight 105 has crashed near San Diego.
What? There were fatalities.
Thanks, Jarod.
You really saved my life.
There was a young man on board.
I gave him my seat.
His name is Daniel Falk.
- I am sorry, sir.
I can't just give out - please! Daniel Falk's body was positively identified at the scene.
I'm sorry.
Thanks, Jarod.
You really saved my life.
There are pretenders among us.
I was taken from my family.
Thitry-six hours, he is already demonstrating more talent than any of our others.
How many people died because of what I thought up? Since I broke up, I spent very moment searching for my past.
He is a pretender.
A genius who can become anyone that he wants to be.
- the Center wants him alive.
- Preferably.
He defends the weak and abused.
Life is a gift.

Clark Thomas.
Jarod Lindsay, NTSB Washington.
I am here to help with the investigation.
I can't get paper close up our request, but an investigator I don't need that they send to me.
Well, if you like you could get Washington on the phone.
You could tell them yourself what incompetent managers they are.
Diane Post.
I prefer able buddies to paper clips, welcome.
We just got these surveillance photos from the crash scene.
Any signs of mechanical problems? No.
The plane passed FA inspection last week.
We are focusing on pilot error.
Both pilots survived? They've been to Centennial Memorial.
- Flight recorder? - It'll come in a while.
I want to be there when it's opened.
Do I look anything like this Ricky Sanders guy? If you swallow the blimp.
How did Jarod expect me to fool anyone to believe that I am him? Just tell them you shut up with Jenny Craig before you married me.
That don't explain the hair.
It's a high school reunion, Broots.
The only thing more pervasive than love handles with smaller What about Mrs.
.
.
, pig? Oh, no photo.
You are not alumni.
Apparently Ricky met his wife overseas.
They both work as missionaries at a catholic charity in Africa.
This amuses you.
That Jarod wants people to believe that you are a missionary.
Broots, did you find anything about Professor Tom Greer? He was only at the school for one semester in 83.
Taught obscure languages.
He died in Hawaii two years ago.
Rest of class's business is usual.
Oh, last page here there is a list of people under the words ''camera shy''.
Oh, yeah.
They didn't have their photo taken.
I tracked them down.
There is nothing special.
Except, well, two were dead.
A deader than Townsend, Nebraska.
Call the hotel and book some rooms for the shindig.
Oh, Jarod already did.
There are non-smoking rooms.
Perfect.
Mr.
Larson, some questions! Do you have anything to say to the families of the victims? My heart goes out to everyone involved.
As a father who almost lost his son, I certainly share their pains.
Can you tell us what happened? He is not allowed to issue a statement until he talks to the NTSB.
But I would like to offer my prayers to those who lost loved ones.
Excuse us, please.
I just want make sure my son gets little rest, okay? Thank you, thank you very much.
First thing first.
Let us see what the pilot has to say.
She suffered blunt trauma to the temple lobe which affects memory acquisition.
The chances of recording details of the crash are extremely slim.
So there is really nothing you can tell us? Like I said, I can remember being on the approach to San Diego.
And I can remember the screams.
But besides that, I am sorry.
Thank you for your time, Mrs.
Wylie.
We'll be in touch.
I'll be outside in a second.
You are going to be alright.
It's like somebody painted my mind black.
When I think about my passengers, maybe it's better that I can't remember.
I want to make a difference of my life.
I read this quote once.
''We have but a rich moment in time.
'' It made me realise we aren't here for so long.
Eleven people died.
But I lived.
What makes me so special? I can remember being on the approach to San Diego.
And I can remember the screams.
Eleven people died.
But I lived.
What makes me so special? Can you believe how friendly the Nebraskans are? This isn't Nebraska, Broots.
It's a halfway house for Ricky, Ricky, is that you? You have changed.
You lost a ton, son.
And this must be Nobody you want to know.
Well.
Maybe we'll see you and the Mrs later at the hill ride.
Yeah, the hill ride, okay.
A way to blend in.
All set.
Now this is mine.
And 305 is for you two.
- You two? - Small town, Mrs.
Sanders.
The last thing we want is for people to wonder why you're not staying with your husband.
There'll better be booze in the courtesy bar, or someone is going to pay.
Hey.
I thought we've agreed that I would be here when we open these boxes.
We couldn't locate you and time isn't some we have a lot over around here.
Evidence from the flight data recorder indicates the elevators were set at a wrong angle for landing.
Giving the flight we do speed on descent, fail of the elevators to provide proper lift led directly to the crash.
- Who set the elevators? - We don't know.
- The cockpit voice recorder is still in lock.
- Malfunction.
Never started recording on take off.
I've never heard of this happening before.
It is rare, but not without presence.
Hell that happened on the flight I piloted once.
At least now, with no mechanical malfunction, we can focus on pilot error.
Which leaves the question.
Which pilot? My dad tells me how to play.
You never play basketball with your dad? I just want my parents proud.
You did, Daniel.
You did.
''Airista Crash Claims Eleven Lives'' ''Pilot Error Questioned'' ''Families Grieve'' I don't know if I'll ever be able to climb to the cockpit again.
You get no argument from me.
You're gonna be far too busy in Airista.
Brandon is one day going to take over the organisation.
Sooner I get him behind the desk, the better.
Mr.
Larson, we need to question Brandon alone.
Well, I am not here as the head of the airline, and here as Brandon's father.
We will appreciate that, sir, but this is standard procedure.
Fine, if you need me, I'll be in the waiting room.
Brandon.
The voice recorder on your flight aren't function.
We have no record of what happened in the cockpit.
Mrs.
wylie suffered a head trauma.
Therefore your memory of the event is critical.
We'd like you to carefully take of last few minutes before the crash.
We just received final approach instructions.
I was focused on my checklist.
Everything seemd calm.
And all the sudden, we stalled.
Angela was yelling about the mountain.
I looked down my window, just to see the wings slash into trees.
You seem to be very warm.
Would you like some water? No, no.
No, it's this pain killers.
Made me a little fevers.
Anyway, I can only guess some of our gauges are malfunctional.
According to the flight data recorder, all systems were working fine.
It indicated the elevators were set at 0 instead of 20 degrees.
That's why the plane stalled on its descend.
Oh, god.
What is it? - Is there something on your mind? - This is really hard.
Angela is a good friend.
We've logged over half million miles together.
But? When I called out ''elevators 20 degrees'' on the checklist, Angela gave me a positive.
I guess she just wasn't paying attention.
Look, Jarod, it was pilot error.
- And the pilot seems to be Angela Wylie.
- Maybe.
The guy tells exactly what happened and what do you need.
He said he was on pain killers.
Principal actions of those compounds are analgesics and sedation.
Wouldn't cause a fever.
Isn't that possible that guy's just nervous rack? Pilots are human.
If I've just been in the plane crash, and I detained my friend, I'll be sweating too.
Is that what you really belive, Diane? You know, Miss Parker, if you look at this like a mini vacation from the Center, you may actually enjoy yourself.
These people are dead from neck up and don't even know it.
Why? Because the couple in the lobby were married for 14 years and they go to church on sunday, and they coach little league? I wish my exwife and I had been that lucky.
Just how hard did you fall on your head when you fall from the turnip truck? Okay.
What's so great about your life? You're forced to stay at the Center until you catch a guy they stole from his parents.
You drown by the murder of your mother.
Competing for your father's attention with a ball headed lunatic dragging with oxygen tank then you Careful! I am just saying, I'd take a sunday sermon and a little league game any day with all that.
Hey.
Jarod sent us another yearbook, marking down the page that list the students who are absent for the graduation picture.
''Not every picture tells a story'', what does that mean? He wants us to focus on the ''camera shy''.
Coming? Dear? The blood test on you and Brandon were negative.
So there will be felony charges but You will be charged with negligence.
I suggest you contact the pilot's union and arrange for legal council.
Oh, my god.
Angela.
The voice recorder malfunctioned.
The only thing we have to go on is Brandon's testimony.
If there is anything at all that you can remember.
I can't remember anything.
The voice recorder did not function? The imprints are already demagnetized.
Hi.
How are you doing? Hey.
Any look with the ''camera shy''? I found two.
Both are for village idiot of that year.
- You? - I met one.
Farmer's wife, seven kids, wallet full of pictures.
And guess whom he's married to? Zena.
What's your secret? You gonna ask her.
I've never met a missionary before.
There is a shocker.
And Ricky! Who ever thought he became a man of God.
You know, he and I dated a few times.
Has he ever mentioned me? He often remind this about, playing tongues on hockey with you in the barn after the saturday night hoot nannie.
Ladies and gentlemen, Before we come to the end of this wonderful evening, I'd like to take a moment to remember a couple of students who no longer with us because the Lord to call them on home.
The first is, - Diana Hydra.
- Oh, god.
It's almost over.
And we're not close to knowing why Jarod sent us here.
And when we start.
If you may remember he died in the senior year.
So we don't have a graduation photo of Bobby Bowman.
But we were able to enlarge a picture from a group shot of the Farmers of Tomorrow club.
- I'm out of here.
- Miss Parker! Oh, my god.
This resemblance is unmistakable.
Bobby Bowman is Mr.
Lyle? Are you sure this is Brandon Larson's file? This lab has zero tolerance for error.
The stakes were too high.
Something doesn't make sense.
Brandon Larson's last FAA physical macrostatic blood count was ten.
But in this test you took after the crash, the count is fifteen.
I thought macrostatic blood counts never vary.
They don't.
Who brought in these blood samples? Your chief investigator, Clark Thomas.
Don't let Jarod's wild speculations confuse you.
And what about Brandon's sweating? He said pain killers wouldn't do that.
Diane, listen that the evidence is very clear.
Just have that report ready to go in the morning.
One tried to give me illegal payoff.
But my dad was telling me you can never go wrong doing the right thing.
I turned him down.
What did your dad teach you, Clark? You saved my life Thanks, Jarod, you really saved my life.
Sydney.
A young man died because of me.
I gave my seat on airplane.
The plane crashed.
I am sorry.
Jarod, we all want to believe that we can control the events in life.
But it's only an illusion.
He had everything to live for.
Family.
Future.
Now he is gone.
I am still here.
I am afraid you and I could spend the rest of this lifetime debating fate, Jarod.
Lifetime? Is that how long this will hurt? Anything? - I found a police file on Bobby Bowman according to the Omaha's coroner's records - Up here, Broots.
Omaha's coroner reported Bobby Bowman was murdered sixteen years ago.
By his father.
Mr.
Lyle, Bobby Bowman it is, faked his own murder, and framed his father? And I thought my family was screwed up.
Bowman's body was found headless and in the bed of his father's pick-up truck.
But the body was so decomposed that they couldn't get the proper ID.
Have lost sound trace of dental records and of course, decomposition would make fingerprint identification impossible.
So, if the body was not Mr.
Lyle's, then, whose body was it? Broots, go back to the Blue Cove, see if you can find out Lyle's early years in the Center.
- And us? - You and I are gonna pay a visit to Mamie Elkem.
Bobby was adopted, you know.
Bobby was a good little boy for the most part.
And then when he was around fifteen years old, something just seemed to snap.
Okay, boys, come and get it.
One day, he was sweet sugar.
The next, mean as a snake, violent too.
After a while, my husband just couldn't deal with him.
He felt Bobby need a discipline.
So he started to lock him in the shed out in the back.
I felt that was a little harsh.
But as my husband said, the roof didn't leek and there was no vermin in it.
You two dogs stop that barking and get in here.
This's a friend of Bobby's? Oh, Jimmy Radloff.
But he died.
That was a sad day for Bobby.
How did Jimmy die? Bobby and Jimmy went hiking one day.
They got separated.
Only Bobby came home.
Jimmy just disappeared without a trace.
Well, they looked all over for him but they never found his body.
I've heard enough! Hey! You don't stop your howling Now we know whose body Lyle used to frame his dad.
Personally, I felt that Jimmy ran off and away.
He came from a terrible family.
His father was a drunkard and his mother, well, Lyle and I always thought she was deaf Lyle? That's my husband's name.
Although he insisted Bobby called him mister.
Angela? They told me the hospital you've been released that May I come in? It's kind of dark in here, don't you think? That's not the answer.
All that I've ever wanted to do is be a pilot.
They were preliminaries findings.
Nothing has been decided.
No.
They already told me to get an attorney.
That's standard procedure.
That will be civil sues.
I can't face those families.
Listen to me.
I don't believe that the crash was your fault.
Based on what? Those people who had their lives taken from them, they had no choice.
Don't dishonour their memory by taking your own.
Give me the chance to prove you are innocent.
Once Jimmy Radloff disappeared, Bobby really got bad.
Though there was no control of him except lock him in the shed.
He hit his father with a shovel once.
I'm pretty sure that that was this push Lyle to kill Bobby.
And cut off his head? Well, I did think that was a bit extreme.
Where is your husband now? Solitary confinement, Topeka Penitentiary.
Lyle rubs people the wrong way.
I best get supper on The shed measures eight by ten.
Same as a prison cell.
If my father had locked me at a hole like this, I wouldn't have framed him, I would've killed him.
Clearly Mr.
Lyle was driven to influence slower functioned.
Unfortunately he didn't confine his need to just his father.
I am sorry to bother you, sir.
But I've received the rather disturbing tip.
That your son was using prescription drugs, not on the FAA authorize list.
- It is ridiculous.
- Maybe so.
But accusation is so serious that going to require an investigation.
I assure you if my son've done anything that foolish, I would know about it.
You have any idea how many flight truckies are barking for a seat in the cockpit for their major career? I know some who had no trouble lieing to get pilot grounded, open up a slot I am sure that's true.
Why would he jeopardise his future by taking unauthorized drugs? Besides, I wouldn't allow him to.
I have no choice on this matter.
You always have the choice.
Tell it to the victims of flight 105.
- Clark Thomas.
- Jarod Lindsay was just here.
He said he is going forward with an investigation to rumours that my son is using unauthorized prescription drugs.
- Where did he hear that? - I don't know.
It doesn't matter.
What does matter, is the fact that you promised to have this thing off, agree? Yes, sir.
Then get on it.
''Reconstructing Data, Demagnetizing Cylinder'' My gilr-friend gave me this.
She is afraid I'm gonna forget her.
It is nice known to have somebody care so much about you.
Besides folks, you know I mean.
Yep.
''Data Reconstruction Complete'' Our elevators are at zero degrees.
I told you to put two notches.
- We're not gonna clear that way - I'm sorry, Angela - Pull up, pull up.
- I am sorry, Angela! Oh, My God! I told you to put two notches.
We're not gonna clear that way.
Pull up, pull up.
Our elevators are at zero degrees.
I told you to put two notches.
We're not gonna clear that way.
- Pull up, pull up.
- I am sorry, Angela! I forgot.
I'm sorry, Oh, My God! Our elevators are at zero degrees.
I told you to put two notches.
We're not This's your idea of sick joke? No.
My idea of a sick joke is lying to protect your career while destroying Angela Wylie's.
You are crazy.
Am I? She didn't cause the crash.
You did.
It wasn't your blood that Clark Thomas took to the lab.
You were flying alright.
And what? Speed? Methamphetamines to sharpen your senses? So why you're sweating so badly.
That's not true.
Did you know that Angela was thinking of taking her own life, because she couldn't deal with the guilt of killing eleven people? Shall we let her? Rounded up to a nice even dozen? All because of you.
I'll see you can take a position at Airista and make your father happy.
There is no room for error with my father.
You have to be perfect.
And if you're not, he just bribe Clark's tongue to fix it, right? He found about my drug intake after the crash.
And it's routine he's been control like he controls everything else.
He picked my schools, my girlfriends, my career.
So how much works does he have to get before you say no? You don't understand.
Nobody says no to my father.
Not me, not Clark Thomas, no one.
Don't you think it's time that someone did? So Mr.
Bowman, tell us about your son, Bobby.
Bobby.
I hated that little bastard.
But I didn't kill him.
Who did? If I knew that, I wouldn't be in here, would I? If I'd bet I'd say it was probably that counselor that started coming around when Bobby was fifteen years old.
From the adoption agency.
Said he was checking up to see how Bobby was getting along.
But Bobby was getting along fine till he showed up.
They started spending time together.
Too much time.
Do you remember anything about this counselor? Oh, my lawyer tried to find him ever after I was arrested.
But he never worked for the adoption agency.
Oh, I think no.
These padlock cutouts on the wall, what do they signify, Mr.
Bowman? Somebody's idea of sick joke.
They've been showing up once a month ever since I got here.
I use them to keep track of time.
Except for the last month when they stopped coming.
That's because Mr.
Lyle is dead.
Diane.
I want you to hear something.
Clark? It's Jarod.
There is something I want to see you about.
A jump plane? At least you can take me up a plane with a door.
What are you doing here? Lindsay called, said he found something at the crash site you wanted me to see.
Oh, good.
Everyone is here.
Shall we? I am sorry, Mr.
Larson.
There must be a misunderstanding.
Oh, there has been no misunderstanding.
I've uncovered some new evidence about what caused the crash.
What kind of new evidence? The kind you have to see to believe.
Gentlemen.
- Why are we so low? - Better to simulate the descent of flight 105.
Hey, will you take over for a minute? I have to go in the back.
Why don't you take my seat? It'll get a better view.
What new evidence could he have found? There was nothing left on that mountain.
The head has already been examined.
Alright, what the hell is this all about? Jarod? Jarod.
He jumped! What the hell is going on here? Pull up, get out of the tour.
I can't.
It's jammed.
The hydraulic is Problem, boys? Well, now you know how Angela Wylie felt when she realised she was going to crash.
Now there is a way for you to survive.
But it comes at a price.
What do you want? Truth.
About how you bribed Clark Thomas to cover for the fact that was really your son, that caused the crash of flight 105.
Speechless, ah? Careful.
The voice recorder is taking down everything you say.
Only Clark won't be able to demagnetize the voice cylinder.
If they find what's left in the plane, they will do toxicology test on your bodies.
Anything you got to hide, Mr.
Larson? Oh, it's too bad.
Because Clark won't be around to temper with the blood tests.
Damn it, Jarod! Okay, I did it, I took the bribe.
Now unlock the slabs.
What about you, Mr.
Larson? Larson, tell him, damn it.
Is your reputation more important to you than your life? Larson.
We are going to crash, tell him.
Alright, it's solved.
I bribed Clark Thomas to protect my son.
Clark, there is a toggle switch underneath your seat.
Push it backward.
I was close.
Just let you know, there is only enough gas in your tank to get you back San Diego.
Oh, by the way, there is a police car waiting for you when you get there.
I am not buying your theory about Mr.
Lyle's, Syd.
Please, Miss Parker, listen.
All I am saying is as if Lyle was able to fake his death as a teenager, well, perhaps he has done it again.
And that's what Jarod has been trying to tell us all this time, that Lyle is alive.
I shot the son of bitch myself, Sydney.
I saw him fall into the river, you and I were there together when they dragged his body from the water.
A headless body.
So? - Exactly the way he faked his death the last time.
- There is no last time, the man is dead.
There is nothing on Lyle.
Except for date of employment and date of termination.
But I did find this under the name of Bobby Bowman.
It's a copy of adoption paper giving custody of Bobby, Mr.
Lyle, to the Bowman's.
It's only one reason the Center would have records of Lyle's adoption.
They arranged it.
- I'll get Lyle's body exhumed - Oh, no, no, you can't.
The Center had Lyle's body cremated.
''Plane Crashed Cover-up Revealed'' Thank you, Jarod.
You saved my life.
Can I help you? Oh, Daniel.
My name is Jarod.
I met Daniel while we were waiting for the plane.
It was overbooked and he was going to get bumped.
He was worried about missing his registration.
I don't understand.
I gave your son my seat on the flight.
I am so sorry.
I just thought you¡ I should probably go.
Wait.
Jarod.
Please, would you, would you come inside? Tell us about your time with our son.
Thanks, Jarod.
You really saved my life.
