The Pretender s03e10 Episode Script
Mr. Lee
[Miss Parker.]
Apparently Jarod's been working at this university doing some type of genetic engineering with plants.
- You think he's in here? - [Miss Parker.]
Lights are on.
Somebody's home.
- Willie, go get him.
- My pleasure.
Jarod! Freeze! - [Grunts.]
- Time to come home, genius.
L- I'm-I'm not him! [Grunts.]
- You're not who? - Whoever you're looking for.
Well, then, who the hell are you? L-l-I'm the guy who waters the plants.
- Name's Francis.
- Well, Francis, do you know this man? Jarod.
Yeah, he's the, uh scientist who used to work here.
- "Used to.
" - Yeah.
Like I told the other guy that was looking for him - he's gone.
- Someone else is looking forJarod? Yeah.
The blind guy- kind of Chinese-looking.
Said his name was Mr.
, uh- [Snaps Fingers.]
Lee.
[Man, Asian Accent.]
I have absorbed all the files on Jarod.
Yes, everything you gave me from his childhood to the present.
No.
He's quite an interesting man.
There are seven people I need to speak with.
You get me those seven people, and I will deliverJarod.
[Man Narrating.]
There are Pretenders among us.
[Jarod.]
I was taken from my family.
Thirty-six hours and he's already demonstrating more talent than any of our others.
How many people died because of what I thought up? Since I broke out, I've spent every moment searching for my past.
[Miss Parker.]
He's a Pretender- A genius who can become anyone that he wants to be.
- The Centre wants him alive.
- Preferably.
[Miss Parker.]
He defends the weak and abused.
Life's a gift.
- You a doctor? - I am today.
[Woman.]
For those who can see, we must really be a sight.
- Why is that? - You know, the blind leading the blind.
- [Both Laugh.]
- Please, no more blind jokes, Miss Newton.
- No, you can call me Rachel.
- Ah, Rachel.
- And I am Mr.
Lee.
- Uh, who-who's typing? Ah.
Her name is- [Speaking Chinese.]
- Anna, for short- my new associate.
- How exactly can I help you? I believe you once knew a man named Jarod.
Ah.
Jarod helped me after I lost my sight in a terrorist bombing.
He's helped lots of people who have been victimized.
He taught me to see again so to speak.
Why do you want to know aboutJarod? I have reason to believe that he is in trouble.
- I need you to help him.
- How can I help? I'm sure you realize that the loss of vision often nurtures deeper insight.
And you feel I've developed this insight? But of course.
That is why I brought you here.
Please, tell me howJarod helped you and affected your life.
I metJarod while I was still in therapy not long after the bombing.
I was drawn to him right from the start.
It was like he felt my pain, my fears.
[Rachel's Voice.]
Six seven eight nine ten- - You can stop counting.
You're here.
- Oh.
- [Chuckling.]
- You must have stepped into the room.
- It's 11 steps to the door.
- I did.
That's very good.
- It's a beautiful day.
Why don't we go outside? - Oh, no.
L-l- I think I'd rather stay here.
Rachel.
You have to go outside sometime.
I was supposed to work in my studio but it was such a nice day, I decided to go on the rooftop of city hall.
That's what happened the last time I went outside.
You were in the wrong place at the wrong time.
That is not your fault.
You can't stop living your life because of it.
You know, when I had my eyes behind the camera I could see things no one else could see.
I can remember details of nearly every picture I ever took.
That's ironic.
They tell me he was there that day.
I must have seen the man who did this to me as he was setting his bomb.
But as hard as I try, I can't remember.
So, are you saying that Jarod connected with you emotionally? Oh, it was more than that.
It was almost like he became me.
He seemed to know me, understand me more than I knew myself.
The way he enabled me to face my life again was magical like an artist painting a picture, only Jarod was the painter, and I was the canvas.
- [Rachel.]
Is this some kind of new therapy? - [Jarod.]
Call it a simulation.
I'm going to create an environment with all the stimuli you need to recreate an event.
- And for you to become someone.
- Who do you want me to become? - Yourself.
- [Gasps.]
Oh, my camera.
Oh, I haven't touched this since the- well, since the day at city hall.
Now, I want you to develop that roll of film- - [Camera Clicks.]
- the pictures you took that day.
- Oh, but there's no film in it.
- I know.
I want you to develop the pictures in your mind.
I'm on the rooftop at city hall.
The natural light is at its perfect angle.
The building is- is closed.
It's Sunday and I'm getting last minute shots for my gallery opening.
- [Jarod.]
Are you alone? - I think- I don't see anyone.
I don't- I don't see anyone but l- I feel a- tingle on the back of my neck.
- Go on.
- I don't see anyone, but I hear something.
- What do you hear? - Footsteps walking quickly away.
It's right before it happens.
Rachel, do you see the bomb? It's only an instant before the flash.
- Do you see him? - No.
But I smell something.
- I smell- - You smell him.
It must be- It's cologne.
Thank you.
Because of what he found in my mind Jarod was able to catch the bomber and help me find the courage to believe in myself again.
That's very interesting.
Anna? Thank you for everything.
My assistant, Anna, will take you home now.
You know, you were right about insight, Mr.
Lee.
You don't want to helpJarod.
You want to catch him.
[Chuckles.]
But you won't succeed.
He's too smart, even for you.
[Miss Parker.]
Who the hell is Mr.
Lee? What does a blind Chinese man want with Jarod anyway? The same thing anyone else would- an advantage.
Jarod's a very valuable commodity.
Question is - who wants to trade in him? - None of this makes any sense.
Broots, go back toJarod's last lair.
Check the neighborhood the airport, the train station- - anywhere that someone might have seen this Mr.
Lee.
- Okay.
I'm also interested in finding out about our sightless friend.
Keep Bridget up to speed on any new developments.
She's my liaison in this thing.
[Giggles.]
Since when do I need a liaison to my own father? Since you're not the only ones afterJarod.
But don't worry, angel.
It shouldn't be that hard to catch a blind man.
- All you have to do is open your eyes.
- Mmm.
[Man.]
What's goin'on? - [Buzzer Sounds.]
- Some people want to talk to you.
[Indistinct Shouts.]
- [Cell Door Slams.]
- [Man Scoffs.]
So what's this free egg roll night on the "Ginsu"? "Ginsu"- That's Japanese.
A man of such erudition a scholar, a physician.
[Chuckles.]
This imprisonment must have reacquainted you with the low, common man.
[Snickers.]
Perhaps that's his idea.
Hmm.
Dr.
Fein, you may address me as Mr.
Lee.
Well, Mr.
Lee.
I don't know what this is about, but- This is about an acquaintance of yours whom I'm searching for.
His name is Jarod.
You gotta be kidding.
For 18 months, I've been trying to tell people aboutJarod.
But there's no trace of him.
It's like he never existed.
- You seem frustrated.
- Frustrated? That psycho's the reason I'm spending the rest of my life in an eight-by-eight cell.
- Sue me if I'm frustrated.
- [Laughs.]
Dr.
Fein, you did bury an innocent man alive.
- You got a point? - Yes.
Jarod, in his unique way, merely exposed you to the rest of the world.
What is one man's justice is another man's revenge.
Yeah, well, a lot of good that's gonna do me now.
[Rattling.]
Dr.
Fein, would you like to seeJarod in an environment worse than this? - Can you do that? - If you tell me what he did to you.
What he did? He tried to kill me.
He tried to bury me alive.
[Grunting.]
Ugh! - [Gasps.]
- Trick or treat.
- You scared the hell out of me.
- Well, that is, after all what this holiday is all about, isn't it? Oh, you're too late.
He's gone.
- Who's gone? - Enrique, the young man you killed.
- What kind of sick prank are you tryin' to play? - Oh, this isn't a prank.
It's a life lesson.
You know, in some cultures they believe that the spirit of a man killed in anger returns to exact revenge upon his perpetrator.
- Spooky, huh? - I'm gettin' out of here.
Oh, no, you can't leave, Dr.
Fein.
This is the Day ofThe Dead.
And you, sir, are the special guest.
Let me out ofhere! Jarod! This isn't funny! I know.
It would be awful to be buried alive especially with that on your shoe.
Jarod! Jarod! Shh, shh, shh, shh.
There's no reason to wake the dead.
- You're gonna be joining them soon enough.
- Jarod, please! Did Enrique discover that you had killed one of the research subjects he recruited for you? - You're crazy! - Uh-uh-uh.
That is not a very nice thing to say to a man with a shovel - is it? - Jarod, please! You took an innocent homeless man and you turned him into your guinea pig- someone to test your heart drug on someone that you didn't think would be missed if it didn't work.
Well, it didn't work, did it? And someone did miss him- Enrique.
So you buried him alive to save your research, didn't you? Didn't you? Didn't you? Didn't you? Yes! Yes! Now let me out of here! Screaming isn't going to help you conserve your oxygen.
And believe me, you're going to need all you can get.
- No.
No.
No, Jarod! - Happy Halloween.
Jarod.
Ja-Jarod.
Jarod! Jarod! Jarod! [Cackling.]
[High-pitched Vocalizing.]
[Laughing.]
I can imagine.
Perhaps that's his way of dispensing emotional justice.
How's any of this gonna help you find him? Oh, you helped me a great deal already.
You told me who he is and what he is.
[Chuckles.]
And, oh, yes I'll catch him.
[Whirring.]
Mr.
Lee here.
After interviewing the first few subjects I'm finding Jarod even more challenging than initially anticipated.
[Chuckles.]
Jarod, I'll never be able to do this.
Sure you can.
We'll keep on practicing.
His desire to help other people and his determination for justice are unyielding.
[Chuckles.]
But they will also prove to be his downfall.
Mmm.
- [Typing.]
- Thank you.
- You're welcome.
- [Typing Continues.]
In many ways, Jarod is the most compassionate man I've met.
It's almost as if it's his natural state ofbeing.
- [Mr.
Lee.]
How is that, Miss Granger? - He has a way of connecting with others- to their souls- in a way that I've never seen in any other person.
- It's ironic, really.
- Ironic? He can be so there for other people.
And yet inside, he's so alone.
I'll never forget the day he walked into my office.
[Granger.]
Mrs.
Morgan, we may have a sighting on your daughter.
If all goes well, you should have your arms around Catherine by tomorrow night.
Thank you.
God bless you too.
How can I help you? I don't know who I am.
[Granger.]
As I looked in his eyes, I could feel his pain - his sadness.
- So, Jarod came to you - for help.
- Yes.
That's what I do- reunite families, find missing children.
I help people find their pasts, so they can have a future.
- [Mr.
Lee.]
I see.
- I thought I'd seen it all until I heard Jarod's story.
- I'm looking for my parents.
- Are they still alive? I don't know.
I was never told the truth.
Well, why not use the police database to initiate a search? I can't.
Look, this is probably gonna be hard to understand but I don't have much time- 72 hours.
- Without a name- - I have a picture.
It's my mother.
At least, that's what I was told.
- I'll see what I can do.
- Thank you.
So, you were able to giveJarod the identity ofhis mother.
No.
These people came and took the information.
They destroyed it beforeJarod even had a chance to see it.
That must have decimated his soul.
Actually, it seemed to inspire him to help other people who experienced a similar loss.
- Really? - Over the last three years he's helped me locate and reunite nine children with their families.
And each time, he refuses to take any credit or recognition for what he's done.
- A very resilient soul.
- Like I said Jarod's the most compassionate human being I've ever met.
[Foghorn Blowing.]
[Foghorn Blowing.]
[Buoy Ringing.]
You were right.
It wasn't that hard to track Mr.
Lee.
I mean, most people you talk to have never seen an old blind Chinese guy.
Well, at least not since Kung Fu.
Well done, Grasshopper.
[Clears Throat.]
I found out Mr.
Lee's a pretty infamous guy in Hong Kong as well.
Not only does he find people, but he makes them disappear in little pieces.
If we play our cards right, we'll bring him in in one piece.
- Let's move.
- Get in position.
[Sam.]
Yes sir, Mr.
Lyle.
- It's more difficult than I thought.
- [Typing.]
I'm learning thatJarod is very complex- very yin and yang dangerous and yet in control full of great pain but a source of healing to others.
[Chuckles.]
Yes.
He's, uh, capable of bringing justice against the powerful and yet showing mercy to the weak.
He helps the lost to find themselves but is unable to discover his own true nature.
[Chuckles.]
- Ironic, isn't it? - [Typing Continues.]
Anna? I think we have visitors.
[Miss Parker.]
We need to move.
Patience, Parker.
The Sweepers aren't even in position yet.
Lee has no idea we're out here.
You start stumbling around, and you're gonna blow it all.
I know exactly what I'm doing.
We're gonna go in and bring out the blind man.
Let me show you how this is done.
[Door Opens, Bell Chimes.]
You idiot, we've been made.
Get in! - [Engine Starts.]
- Miss Parker, that's a wall.
Yeah, and this is a rental.
- [Tires Screeching.]
- Whoa! Whoa! [Tires Screeching.]
Damn! He was right here! - So, this is how it's done? - Outside! He couldn't have gotten far.
- Wow.
Mr.
Lee's like a Shaolin priest.
- What are you talking about? Well, you know, "Look, for he cannot be seen.
- Felt, for he cannot be touched.
" - Oh, get a life, Kato.
What's this? Braille.
Great.
- In case you've forgotten.
- What is it, Syd? Names of people involved with Jarod.
- Why? - He's been interviewing them.
- How would Mr.
Lee know about them in the first place? - Someone at the Centre.
Broots, I want you to trace all calls coming into and out of this warehouse.
Let's find out who Mr.
Lee's working for and why.
- Okay.
- Sydney, who do you think they are? Whoever they are, these must be some very special people.
- Love the shoes.
- Thank you very much.
Do you always wear that getup? Well, I can see you don't fully appreciate the incredible burden of my responsibility.
You'll have to excuse Mr.
Lyle.
[Sucks Teeth.]
He's not a fan.
But I am, Bernie.
And I do appreciate you taking time out of your busy schedule to talk to us.
Well, I always got time to spend with a pretty lady.
[Chuckles.]
Tell us, what did Mr.
Lee want to know aboutJarod? [Sighs.]
How I felt about him minute by minute, from the very instant we met.
Now don't you little ladies forget.
Come and see my show tonight.
There's no cover, there's no minimum, and there's free hot - [Women Squealing.]
- hors d'oeuvres, huh? - I'll see y'all later.
Bye-bye.
- Bye! Thank you very much.
[Grunts.]
Hey, there, teddy bear.
You comin' to rub elbows with the King of Rock and Roll? No, I'm tryin' to understand this.
You dress up in a rented costume - and you pretend to be a dead singer? - "Singer"? Son, do you have any idea who I am? - Well, actually, I would- - You are looking at a national monument- Mount Rushmore in blue suede shoes.
There's not a human bein' on God's green earth that has ever demanded the attention and respect of the man you are lookin' at this very moment.
Hey, Bernie? Some guy at the craps table says - he'll give you five bucks to goose his wife.
- I'll be right there.
Well, my fans beckon.
I must go.
Thank you very much.
To tell you the truth, I'd read Jarod all wrong at first.
- How so? - Well, just like I told Mr.
Lee it turned out that he was the only person who really cared about what I was goin' through.
Hey.
Well, welcome to the Heartbreak Hotel.
[Laughs.]
What are you doing here? You should be on stage.
Oh, no.
There-There's no more stage for the King.
The casino fired me.
Did it have something to do with that bird thing? - Bird thing? - The goose.
No.
No, they said they'd had complaints about the show.
So I put on 20, 30 pounds.
You think it's easy bein'the idol of millions? - I would guess no.
- Well, you're damn right it isn't.
I sacrificed everything.
I did it 'cause I loved it.
It's what the people wanted.
I just wish some of those casino bigwigs could spend one hour wearin'the cape, huh? Just one hour.
I tell you what-They'd walk away singin' a different tune.
I guaran-damn-tee you.
Couldn't you get a job at another casino? No, buddy boy.
After 24 years of makin' people smile singin' the songs and spreadin' the good vibrations afraid it's the end of the line for the King.
We did have one hell of a ride, though, didn't we? - I bet you did.
- Now, look.
I'm- I'm sorry.
L- I'm spillin' my guts and I don't even know your name.
Jarod Felson.
Bernie Baxley.
Well, it's nice to meet you, Bernie Baxley.
Thanks.
Jarod? I'm scared.
- Of what? - Him.
Jarod helped me to face my fears to find me again.
L- I got to admit, he, uh, kind of rubbed off on me a little bit.
But I'll tell ya- I think I rubbed off on him a little bit too.
[As Elvis.]
Well, thank you very much.
After that, I left Vegas.
Never looked back.
And thanks toJarod, I've got my own place in Branson where the King's legacy is kept alive 363 days a year closed only for New Year's and, of course, the King's birthday.
Ow.
I threw out my hip dancin' about a year ago.
ButJarod had taught me that you gotta keep on adaptin'.
You know, keep- keep lookin' for new and- and better ways to move and groove forward.
So I broadened my repertoire.
Thought maybe I'd treat you folks to, well, just a taste of my new act.
Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome to the stage Tiny King.
Huh? [Chuckles.]
Hey, TK, don't you want to say somethin' to the pretty lady? Ooh, you look better than a fried peanut butter and banana sandwich.
- [Chuckles.]
- [Forced Chuckle.]
- Thank you very much.
- [Laughs.]
[Chuckling.]
Sam? Get him out of here before I step on his blue suede face.
Yes, Miss Parker.
Excuse me, King? - Yeah? - It's time to leave the building.
Ah! - Got to TCB.
- [Clucks Tongue.]
You did say these people must be special.
What the hell is going on, Sydney? Lee has been interviewing every one of those people about their emotional connection toJarod in order to anticipate his next move.
Miss Parker.
Uh- Uh- - What is it? - I traced the last call from Mr.
Lee's warehouse to the Centre, and you won't believe where it ended up.
- Spit it out, Broots.
- Well, it went to your father's office.
- [Footsteps.]
- Mmm.
[Chuckles.]
Uh-huh.
Yes.
The next subject may be reluctant to cooperate.
- Let me bring him in.
- [Chuckles, Speaks Chinese.]
Violence was not on your résumé.
[Chuckles.]
I'll have to write a new one.
Hmm.
[Reads Aloud In Chinese.]
Trouble? Oh, yeah.
The battery's busted or something.
Oh, well, maybe I can help.
- Really? You don't mind? - Um I'm not much of a mechanic, but I am pretty good with my hands.
[Groans.]
[Handcuffs Rattling.]
- Ah.
Mr.
Lee.
- [Speaks Chinese.]
I believe you have met my assistant, Anna.
Met her? She kidnapped me.
Oh, really? [Laughs.]
Please, sit down.
I don't feel like sitting down.
Oh.
Excuse my urgency but it is important that I know about your relationship with Jarod.
Really? Well, I'd like to know about your relationship with Jarod.
Mr.
Lyle, in life it is primary that one knows his position.
And you, sir, are not in position to ask questions.
Look, I don't know what you're up to but I think it's time somebody taught you some manners.
[Grunts.]
[Groans.]
[Lyle Grunts.]
Oh, I'm sorry.
Did I hurt you? It is not only with sight that one sees.
Let me help you.
- Once again, Mr Lyle, go sit down.
- [Grunts.]
- And tell me your story.
Hmm? - [Grunts.]
- What do you want to know? - I want to know what motivates Jarod why he risks himself to help others why he runs but does not vanish.
Well, why do you think I can help you? Coochie, coochie, coochie, coochie.
[Laughs.]
Because you have a very unique relationship with Jarod.
You did try to kill him, did you not? All in the interest of science.
- [Instruments Beeping.]
- Clear! Clear! - It really wasn't my idea anyway.
- [Laughing.]
- It really wasn't my idea anyway.
- [Laughing.]
I believe you also kidnapped Jarod.
Huh? Desperate times call for desperate measures.
"Desperate times call for desperate measures," Anna.
So, you weren't content just to kidnapJarod, were you? You also have to shoot his brother and kill him.
That was an accident, pure and simple.
This is beautiful! It's just one big happy family, isn't it? It's the end of the line, Lyle.
There's no place left for you to run.
I'm disappointed in you, Jarod.
You know me better than that.
Drop the cannon, kid.
- Shoot him, you moron! - Shut up! Stay back, or I put a very large hole in big brother.
- Kyle.
- Threats and pain that's all you've ever offered us.
You stole our lives, and you killed our spirit and now you think you can threaten us with death? It doesn't matter, Lyle.
Because we never made a difference anyway.
I'll kill him.
I swear I will.
And then I'll kill you.
Don't do this, little brother.
- [Grunts.]
- [Groans.]
[Yells.]
[Kyle Groans.]
There's another part about what drives Jarod that l-l- I don't understand.
- And that is? - [Chuckles.]
Why, after all you've done to him he has not killed you.
After all he is more resourceful and intelligent than you are.
Maybe he just likes me.
Not.
[Chuckles.]
Shall we start from the beginning, all over again, huh? - [Miss Parker.]
Where the hell is Lyle? - [Sydney.]
I don't know but he seemed genuinely disturbed over the revelation that Mr.
Lee is in contact with your father's office.
Well, we're not waiting any longer.
- Let's go ahead and talk to this guy.
- Hmm.
- Hi.
- Hi.
Hi,J.
R.
My name is Sydney.
This is Miss Parker.
Miss Parker? You sure look familiar.
I have one of those faces.
Listen,J.
R it's very important that you tell us exactly what Mr.
Lee wanted to know aboutJarod.
Is Jarod in some kind of trouble? - He might be.
- I'll do anything to help him.
He saved my life twice.
Once before I even met him.
J.
R? Honey? Sweetie, can you hear me? J.
R? - [Jarod.]
He's in shock.
- Wake up.
- He's still breathing.
- [Mother.]
He's hypoglycemic.
- When was the last time he ate? - He had cereal for breakfast three, four hours ago.
J.
R? Come on, honey.
What do you think you're doing? I need to stabilize his blood sugar.
Stick this in your mouth.
I want you to let it dissolve, okay? Good boy.
- Mom? - Oh! Oh! It's okay, honey.
Everything's gonna be okay.
Mr.
Lee seemed real interested in the fact thatJarod knew I was sick.
- Your heart.
- I needed a transplant.
My mom had pretty much given up hope that I'd get one in time untilJarod came into our lives.
- How is he feeling? - [Mother.]
Better.
He has a heart condition.
I noticed the bluish tint to his fingertips and his lips.
I'd say by the looks of it, you have a very sick boy.
- Are you a doctor? - Not at the moment.
Why hasn't he had a heart transplant? Because he's on a waiting list.
Because he has AB-negative blood, which is very rare.
- It only happens in certain families.
- One in 300,000.
I know.
I have it too.
You said Jarod saved your life twice.
He found me a heart.
You stay with me, little brother.
I'm gonna get you to a hospital.
[Weakly.]
It's too late, Jarod.
Don't you say that.
Look at me! Come on, just-just think- Think about all the good times we're gonna have together.
- I'm sorry, Jarod.
- For what? F-For everything.
[Kyle Gasps.]
No.
[Sobs.]
- Jarod gave you his brother's heart.
- Yeah.
And ever since the transplant, he calls.
Notjust to check up on me - but to see how I'm really doing.
- Mmm.
Jarod's like the older brother that I never had.
Mr.
Lee seemed to think that was real important.
Thank you,J.
R.
Sam will take you home.
Come on, Tin Man.
[Basketball Bouncing.]
Mr.
Lee's really narrowing it down.
Compassion, empathy, desire for justice- all the things that makeJarod, Jarod.
Do you think he'll be able to anticipateJarod's next move - to actually catch him? - Unless we get there first.
- [Metal Clanging.]
- Miss Parker? Miss Parker.
[Clears Throat.]
About that phone call from Lee to your father's office? - What about it? - Well, it wasn't actually for Mr.
Parker.
Well, did it go to his office or didn't it? Yes.
Tech- I mean, technically, yes.
- Technically? - Well, there was a second phone line recently installed in your father's suite.
It seems now he's sharing his office with someone else.
And I traced the call from Mr.
Lee to that new line.
And just whose new line might that be, as if I didn't know? - Brigitte.
- Well, why did I even ask? Hold on, she's not there.
I, uh- [Clears Throat.]
L-I just intercepted another call between her and Mr.
Lee.
She just left in a limo.
Mr.
Lee's limo.
They're goin'to getJarod.
[Mr.
Lee.]
We're going to getJarod now.
- So, tell me how you found him.
- Simple.
- [Typing.]
- By interviewing people whose lives Jarod has touched I've been able to understand how he thinks.
And more importantly, how he feels.
We were able to break the code- the pattern ofhis behavior.
Jarod has a need to defend those abused by power.
Because of this need, he's drawn to predictable situations.
- Such as? - Those that are related to the trauma of his childhood, and the guilt he feels over the abuse of his work.
Anna has extensively researched potential scenarios that would attract him.
We've successfully isolated the one that will lead us to him.
It's a shame my future stepchildren won't be there to share the moment.
- [Chuckles.]
- [Giggles.]
- You're deliciously naughty.
[Laughs.]
- [Giggling.]
Why, thank you, Mr.
Lee.
A blind Chinese guy, a bimbo and a limousine- how hard can that be to find? [Slams Down Receiver.]
Two and a half years we've been chasing Jarod and that bitch is gonna bring him in.
Lyle, are you all right? You look terrible.
- You ought to see the other guy.
- Bad hair day? I was abducted by several of Lee's men.
They obviously got the best of me, but I put a whole lot of hurtin' on 'em in the process.
Lee questioned me for hours, but finally gave up.
Had his enforcers drop me off in the middle of nowhere.
[Clucks Tongue.]
Oh.
Well, you can thank Bridget - for your quality time with Lee.
- Brigitte? - [Affirmative Grunt.]
- He's working for her.
Yeah.
She's gonna bring Jarod in.
Well, not if we get there first.
I've triangulated the signal from Brigitte's cell phone.
And this should lead us right to Brigitte and to Mr.
Lee.
Oh, and they'll lead us right toJarod.
[Laughs.]
- [Chattering.]
- [Beeping.]
[Computerized Voice.]
Thank you, Jarod.
You're welcome.
Abner gets to come home where he should have been all the time.
How can we ever repay you for all you have done for us? - This is repayment enough.
- Oh.
Good luck, Abner.
[Brigitte.]
Ironic place to find Jarod.
A genius at a facility for the mentally challenged.
Yes, Jarod has discovered that many of the residents have been intentionally misdiagnosed.
The director keeps them here in order to defraud their insurance and their parents.
They're trapped- prisoners in an institution that denies them their freedom.
And Jarod's here to liberate them.
How noble.
- Wait.
- [Helicopter Approaching.]
No.
No, no, no, no! I don't believe this! - What the hell are you doing here? - Good to see you too.
- Where is he? - I'm supposed to bring him in! - Like hell you are.
- Nobody's cuttin' me out of this, least of all you.
Stop your arguing! We must get toJarod now! He's gone.
You have a gift for the obvious.
He knew we were coming.
He's known all along.
Intercepted your memo.
- What memo? - From Brigitte to Daddy requesting the unique services of Mr.
Lee to catch Jarod.
- He couldn't have done this alone.
- You blew it, angel.
[Mr.
Lee.]
Someone informed him of our presence.
Anna.
[Helicopter Rotors Whirring.]
Thank you for all of your help.
After all the people you've helped it was about time that someone helped you.
What you did took a lot of courage.
You bought me the time I needed.
I'd do it again in a heartbeat.
I mean, what you did for my family and my nephew- I'm the one who should be thanking you.
- I hope someday we'll meet again.
- I hope so too.
Apparently Jarod's been working at this university doing some type of genetic engineering with plants.
- You think he's in here? - [Miss Parker.]
Lights are on.
Somebody's home.
- Willie, go get him.
- My pleasure.
Jarod! Freeze! - [Grunts.]
- Time to come home, genius.
L- I'm-I'm not him! [Grunts.]
- You're not who? - Whoever you're looking for.
Well, then, who the hell are you? L-l-I'm the guy who waters the plants.
- Name's Francis.
- Well, Francis, do you know this man? Jarod.
Yeah, he's the, uh scientist who used to work here.
- "Used to.
" - Yeah.
Like I told the other guy that was looking for him - he's gone.
- Someone else is looking forJarod? Yeah.
The blind guy- kind of Chinese-looking.
Said his name was Mr.
, uh- [Snaps Fingers.]
Lee.
[Man, Asian Accent.]
I have absorbed all the files on Jarod.
Yes, everything you gave me from his childhood to the present.
No.
He's quite an interesting man.
There are seven people I need to speak with.
You get me those seven people, and I will deliverJarod.
[Man Narrating.]
There are Pretenders among us.
[Jarod.]
I was taken from my family.
Thirty-six hours and he's already demonstrating more talent than any of our others.
How many people died because of what I thought up? Since I broke out, I've spent every moment searching for my past.
[Miss Parker.]
He's a Pretender- A genius who can become anyone that he wants to be.
- The Centre wants him alive.
- Preferably.
[Miss Parker.]
He defends the weak and abused.
Life's a gift.
- You a doctor? - I am today.
[Woman.]
For those who can see, we must really be a sight.
- Why is that? - You know, the blind leading the blind.
- [Both Laugh.]
- Please, no more blind jokes, Miss Newton.
- No, you can call me Rachel.
- Ah, Rachel.
- And I am Mr.
Lee.
- Uh, who-who's typing? Ah.
Her name is- [Speaking Chinese.]
- Anna, for short- my new associate.
- How exactly can I help you? I believe you once knew a man named Jarod.
Ah.
Jarod helped me after I lost my sight in a terrorist bombing.
He's helped lots of people who have been victimized.
He taught me to see again so to speak.
Why do you want to know aboutJarod? I have reason to believe that he is in trouble.
- I need you to help him.
- How can I help? I'm sure you realize that the loss of vision often nurtures deeper insight.
And you feel I've developed this insight? But of course.
That is why I brought you here.
Please, tell me howJarod helped you and affected your life.
I metJarod while I was still in therapy not long after the bombing.
I was drawn to him right from the start.
It was like he felt my pain, my fears.
[Rachel's Voice.]
Six seven eight nine ten- - You can stop counting.
You're here.
- Oh.
- [Chuckling.]
- You must have stepped into the room.
- It's 11 steps to the door.
- I did.
That's very good.
- It's a beautiful day.
Why don't we go outside? - Oh, no.
L-l- I think I'd rather stay here.
Rachel.
You have to go outside sometime.
I was supposed to work in my studio but it was such a nice day, I decided to go on the rooftop of city hall.
That's what happened the last time I went outside.
You were in the wrong place at the wrong time.
That is not your fault.
You can't stop living your life because of it.
You know, when I had my eyes behind the camera I could see things no one else could see.
I can remember details of nearly every picture I ever took.
That's ironic.
They tell me he was there that day.
I must have seen the man who did this to me as he was setting his bomb.
But as hard as I try, I can't remember.
So, are you saying that Jarod connected with you emotionally? Oh, it was more than that.
It was almost like he became me.
He seemed to know me, understand me more than I knew myself.
The way he enabled me to face my life again was magical like an artist painting a picture, only Jarod was the painter, and I was the canvas.
- [Rachel.]
Is this some kind of new therapy? - [Jarod.]
Call it a simulation.
I'm going to create an environment with all the stimuli you need to recreate an event.
- And for you to become someone.
- Who do you want me to become? - Yourself.
- [Gasps.]
Oh, my camera.
Oh, I haven't touched this since the- well, since the day at city hall.
Now, I want you to develop that roll of film- - [Camera Clicks.]
- the pictures you took that day.
- Oh, but there's no film in it.
- I know.
I want you to develop the pictures in your mind.
I'm on the rooftop at city hall.
The natural light is at its perfect angle.
The building is- is closed.
It's Sunday and I'm getting last minute shots for my gallery opening.
- [Jarod.]
Are you alone? - I think- I don't see anyone.
I don't- I don't see anyone but l- I feel a- tingle on the back of my neck.
- Go on.
- I don't see anyone, but I hear something.
- What do you hear? - Footsteps walking quickly away.
It's right before it happens.
Rachel, do you see the bomb? It's only an instant before the flash.
- Do you see him? - No.
But I smell something.
- I smell- - You smell him.
It must be- It's cologne.
Thank you.
Because of what he found in my mind Jarod was able to catch the bomber and help me find the courage to believe in myself again.
That's very interesting.
Anna? Thank you for everything.
My assistant, Anna, will take you home now.
You know, you were right about insight, Mr.
Lee.
You don't want to helpJarod.
You want to catch him.
[Chuckles.]
But you won't succeed.
He's too smart, even for you.
[Miss Parker.]
Who the hell is Mr.
Lee? What does a blind Chinese man want with Jarod anyway? The same thing anyone else would- an advantage.
Jarod's a very valuable commodity.
Question is - who wants to trade in him? - None of this makes any sense.
Broots, go back toJarod's last lair.
Check the neighborhood the airport, the train station- - anywhere that someone might have seen this Mr.
Lee.
- Okay.
I'm also interested in finding out about our sightless friend.
Keep Bridget up to speed on any new developments.
She's my liaison in this thing.
[Giggles.]
Since when do I need a liaison to my own father? Since you're not the only ones afterJarod.
But don't worry, angel.
It shouldn't be that hard to catch a blind man.
- All you have to do is open your eyes.
- Mmm.
[Man.]
What's goin'on? - [Buzzer Sounds.]
- Some people want to talk to you.
[Indistinct Shouts.]
- [Cell Door Slams.]
- [Man Scoffs.]
So what's this free egg roll night on the "Ginsu"? "Ginsu"- That's Japanese.
A man of such erudition a scholar, a physician.
[Chuckles.]
This imprisonment must have reacquainted you with the low, common man.
[Snickers.]
Perhaps that's his idea.
Hmm.
Dr.
Fein, you may address me as Mr.
Lee.
Well, Mr.
Lee.
I don't know what this is about, but- This is about an acquaintance of yours whom I'm searching for.
His name is Jarod.
You gotta be kidding.
For 18 months, I've been trying to tell people aboutJarod.
But there's no trace of him.
It's like he never existed.
- You seem frustrated.
- Frustrated? That psycho's the reason I'm spending the rest of my life in an eight-by-eight cell.
- Sue me if I'm frustrated.
- [Laughs.]
Dr.
Fein, you did bury an innocent man alive.
- You got a point? - Yes.
Jarod, in his unique way, merely exposed you to the rest of the world.
What is one man's justice is another man's revenge.
Yeah, well, a lot of good that's gonna do me now.
[Rattling.]
Dr.
Fein, would you like to seeJarod in an environment worse than this? - Can you do that? - If you tell me what he did to you.
What he did? He tried to kill me.
He tried to bury me alive.
[Grunting.]
Ugh! - [Gasps.]
- Trick or treat.
- You scared the hell out of me.
- Well, that is, after all what this holiday is all about, isn't it? Oh, you're too late.
He's gone.
- Who's gone? - Enrique, the young man you killed.
- What kind of sick prank are you tryin' to play? - Oh, this isn't a prank.
It's a life lesson.
You know, in some cultures they believe that the spirit of a man killed in anger returns to exact revenge upon his perpetrator.
- Spooky, huh? - I'm gettin' out of here.
Oh, no, you can't leave, Dr.
Fein.
This is the Day ofThe Dead.
And you, sir, are the special guest.
Let me out ofhere! Jarod! This isn't funny! I know.
It would be awful to be buried alive especially with that on your shoe.
Jarod! Jarod! Shh, shh, shh, shh.
There's no reason to wake the dead.
- You're gonna be joining them soon enough.
- Jarod, please! Did Enrique discover that you had killed one of the research subjects he recruited for you? - You're crazy! - Uh-uh-uh.
That is not a very nice thing to say to a man with a shovel - is it? - Jarod, please! You took an innocent homeless man and you turned him into your guinea pig- someone to test your heart drug on someone that you didn't think would be missed if it didn't work.
Well, it didn't work, did it? And someone did miss him- Enrique.
So you buried him alive to save your research, didn't you? Didn't you? Didn't you? Didn't you? Yes! Yes! Now let me out of here! Screaming isn't going to help you conserve your oxygen.
And believe me, you're going to need all you can get.
- No.
No.
No, Jarod! - Happy Halloween.
Jarod.
Ja-Jarod.
Jarod! Jarod! Jarod! [Cackling.]
[High-pitched Vocalizing.]
[Laughing.]
I can imagine.
Perhaps that's his way of dispensing emotional justice.
How's any of this gonna help you find him? Oh, you helped me a great deal already.
You told me who he is and what he is.
[Chuckles.]
And, oh, yes I'll catch him.
[Whirring.]
Mr.
Lee here.
After interviewing the first few subjects I'm finding Jarod even more challenging than initially anticipated.
[Chuckles.]
Jarod, I'll never be able to do this.
Sure you can.
We'll keep on practicing.
His desire to help other people and his determination for justice are unyielding.
[Chuckles.]
But they will also prove to be his downfall.
Mmm.
- [Typing.]
- Thank you.
- You're welcome.
- [Typing Continues.]
In many ways, Jarod is the most compassionate man I've met.
It's almost as if it's his natural state ofbeing.
- [Mr.
Lee.]
How is that, Miss Granger? - He has a way of connecting with others- to their souls- in a way that I've never seen in any other person.
- It's ironic, really.
- Ironic? He can be so there for other people.
And yet inside, he's so alone.
I'll never forget the day he walked into my office.
[Granger.]
Mrs.
Morgan, we may have a sighting on your daughter.
If all goes well, you should have your arms around Catherine by tomorrow night.
Thank you.
God bless you too.
How can I help you? I don't know who I am.
[Granger.]
As I looked in his eyes, I could feel his pain - his sadness.
- So, Jarod came to you - for help.
- Yes.
That's what I do- reunite families, find missing children.
I help people find their pasts, so they can have a future.
- [Mr.
Lee.]
I see.
- I thought I'd seen it all until I heard Jarod's story.
- I'm looking for my parents.
- Are they still alive? I don't know.
I was never told the truth.
Well, why not use the police database to initiate a search? I can't.
Look, this is probably gonna be hard to understand but I don't have much time- 72 hours.
- Without a name- - I have a picture.
It's my mother.
At least, that's what I was told.
- I'll see what I can do.
- Thank you.
So, you were able to giveJarod the identity ofhis mother.
No.
These people came and took the information.
They destroyed it beforeJarod even had a chance to see it.
That must have decimated his soul.
Actually, it seemed to inspire him to help other people who experienced a similar loss.
- Really? - Over the last three years he's helped me locate and reunite nine children with their families.
And each time, he refuses to take any credit or recognition for what he's done.
- A very resilient soul.
- Like I said Jarod's the most compassionate human being I've ever met.
[Foghorn Blowing.]
[Foghorn Blowing.]
[Buoy Ringing.]
You were right.
It wasn't that hard to track Mr.
Lee.
I mean, most people you talk to have never seen an old blind Chinese guy.
Well, at least not since Kung Fu.
Well done, Grasshopper.
[Clears Throat.]
I found out Mr.
Lee's a pretty infamous guy in Hong Kong as well.
Not only does he find people, but he makes them disappear in little pieces.
If we play our cards right, we'll bring him in in one piece.
- Let's move.
- Get in position.
[Sam.]
Yes sir, Mr.
Lyle.
- It's more difficult than I thought.
- [Typing.]
I'm learning thatJarod is very complex- very yin and yang dangerous and yet in control full of great pain but a source of healing to others.
[Chuckles.]
Yes.
He's, uh, capable of bringing justice against the powerful and yet showing mercy to the weak.
He helps the lost to find themselves but is unable to discover his own true nature.
[Chuckles.]
- Ironic, isn't it? - [Typing Continues.]
Anna? I think we have visitors.
[Miss Parker.]
We need to move.
Patience, Parker.
The Sweepers aren't even in position yet.
Lee has no idea we're out here.
You start stumbling around, and you're gonna blow it all.
I know exactly what I'm doing.
We're gonna go in and bring out the blind man.
Let me show you how this is done.
[Door Opens, Bell Chimes.]
You idiot, we've been made.
Get in! - [Engine Starts.]
- Miss Parker, that's a wall.
Yeah, and this is a rental.
- [Tires Screeching.]
- Whoa! Whoa! [Tires Screeching.]
Damn! He was right here! - So, this is how it's done? - Outside! He couldn't have gotten far.
- Wow.
Mr.
Lee's like a Shaolin priest.
- What are you talking about? Well, you know, "Look, for he cannot be seen.
- Felt, for he cannot be touched.
" - Oh, get a life, Kato.
What's this? Braille.
Great.
- In case you've forgotten.
- What is it, Syd? Names of people involved with Jarod.
- Why? - He's been interviewing them.
- How would Mr.
Lee know about them in the first place? - Someone at the Centre.
Broots, I want you to trace all calls coming into and out of this warehouse.
Let's find out who Mr.
Lee's working for and why.
- Okay.
- Sydney, who do you think they are? Whoever they are, these must be some very special people.
- Love the shoes.
- Thank you very much.
Do you always wear that getup? Well, I can see you don't fully appreciate the incredible burden of my responsibility.
You'll have to excuse Mr.
Lyle.
[Sucks Teeth.]
He's not a fan.
But I am, Bernie.
And I do appreciate you taking time out of your busy schedule to talk to us.
Well, I always got time to spend with a pretty lady.
[Chuckles.]
Tell us, what did Mr.
Lee want to know aboutJarod? [Sighs.]
How I felt about him minute by minute, from the very instant we met.
Now don't you little ladies forget.
Come and see my show tonight.
There's no cover, there's no minimum, and there's free hot - [Women Squealing.]
- hors d'oeuvres, huh? - I'll see y'all later.
Bye-bye.
- Bye! Thank you very much.
[Grunts.]
Hey, there, teddy bear.
You comin' to rub elbows with the King of Rock and Roll? No, I'm tryin' to understand this.
You dress up in a rented costume - and you pretend to be a dead singer? - "Singer"? Son, do you have any idea who I am? - Well, actually, I would- - You are looking at a national monument- Mount Rushmore in blue suede shoes.
There's not a human bein' on God's green earth that has ever demanded the attention and respect of the man you are lookin' at this very moment.
Hey, Bernie? Some guy at the craps table says - he'll give you five bucks to goose his wife.
- I'll be right there.
Well, my fans beckon.
I must go.
Thank you very much.
To tell you the truth, I'd read Jarod all wrong at first.
- How so? - Well, just like I told Mr.
Lee it turned out that he was the only person who really cared about what I was goin' through.
Hey.
Well, welcome to the Heartbreak Hotel.
[Laughs.]
What are you doing here? You should be on stage.
Oh, no.
There-There's no more stage for the King.
The casino fired me.
Did it have something to do with that bird thing? - Bird thing? - The goose.
No.
No, they said they'd had complaints about the show.
So I put on 20, 30 pounds.
You think it's easy bein'the idol of millions? - I would guess no.
- Well, you're damn right it isn't.
I sacrificed everything.
I did it 'cause I loved it.
It's what the people wanted.
I just wish some of those casino bigwigs could spend one hour wearin'the cape, huh? Just one hour.
I tell you what-They'd walk away singin' a different tune.
I guaran-damn-tee you.
Couldn't you get a job at another casino? No, buddy boy.
After 24 years of makin' people smile singin' the songs and spreadin' the good vibrations afraid it's the end of the line for the King.
We did have one hell of a ride, though, didn't we? - I bet you did.
- Now, look.
I'm- I'm sorry.
L- I'm spillin' my guts and I don't even know your name.
Jarod Felson.
Bernie Baxley.
Well, it's nice to meet you, Bernie Baxley.
Thanks.
Jarod? I'm scared.
- Of what? - Him.
Jarod helped me to face my fears to find me again.
L- I got to admit, he, uh, kind of rubbed off on me a little bit.
But I'll tell ya- I think I rubbed off on him a little bit too.
[As Elvis.]
Well, thank you very much.
After that, I left Vegas.
Never looked back.
And thanks toJarod, I've got my own place in Branson where the King's legacy is kept alive 363 days a year closed only for New Year's and, of course, the King's birthday.
Ow.
I threw out my hip dancin' about a year ago.
ButJarod had taught me that you gotta keep on adaptin'.
You know, keep- keep lookin' for new and- and better ways to move and groove forward.
So I broadened my repertoire.
Thought maybe I'd treat you folks to, well, just a taste of my new act.
Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome to the stage Tiny King.
Huh? [Chuckles.]
Hey, TK, don't you want to say somethin' to the pretty lady? Ooh, you look better than a fried peanut butter and banana sandwich.
- [Chuckles.]
- [Forced Chuckle.]
- Thank you very much.
- [Laughs.]
[Chuckling.]
Sam? Get him out of here before I step on his blue suede face.
Yes, Miss Parker.
Excuse me, King? - Yeah? - It's time to leave the building.
Ah! - Got to TCB.
- [Clucks Tongue.]
You did say these people must be special.
What the hell is going on, Sydney? Lee has been interviewing every one of those people about their emotional connection toJarod in order to anticipate his next move.
Miss Parker.
Uh- Uh- - What is it? - I traced the last call from Mr.
Lee's warehouse to the Centre, and you won't believe where it ended up.
- Spit it out, Broots.
- Well, it went to your father's office.
- [Footsteps.]
- Mmm.
[Chuckles.]
Uh-huh.
Yes.
The next subject may be reluctant to cooperate.
- Let me bring him in.
- [Chuckles, Speaks Chinese.]
Violence was not on your résumé.
[Chuckles.]
I'll have to write a new one.
Hmm.
[Reads Aloud In Chinese.]
Trouble? Oh, yeah.
The battery's busted or something.
Oh, well, maybe I can help.
- Really? You don't mind? - Um I'm not much of a mechanic, but I am pretty good with my hands.
[Groans.]
[Handcuffs Rattling.]
- Ah.
Mr.
Lee.
- [Speaks Chinese.]
I believe you have met my assistant, Anna.
Met her? She kidnapped me.
Oh, really? [Laughs.]
Please, sit down.
I don't feel like sitting down.
Oh.
Excuse my urgency but it is important that I know about your relationship with Jarod.
Really? Well, I'd like to know about your relationship with Jarod.
Mr.
Lyle, in life it is primary that one knows his position.
And you, sir, are not in position to ask questions.
Look, I don't know what you're up to but I think it's time somebody taught you some manners.
[Grunts.]
[Groans.]
[Lyle Grunts.]
Oh, I'm sorry.
Did I hurt you? It is not only with sight that one sees.
Let me help you.
- Once again, Mr Lyle, go sit down.
- [Grunts.]
- And tell me your story.
Hmm? - [Grunts.]
- What do you want to know? - I want to know what motivates Jarod why he risks himself to help others why he runs but does not vanish.
Well, why do you think I can help you? Coochie, coochie, coochie, coochie.
[Laughs.]
Because you have a very unique relationship with Jarod.
You did try to kill him, did you not? All in the interest of science.
- [Instruments Beeping.]
- Clear! Clear! - It really wasn't my idea anyway.
- [Laughing.]
- It really wasn't my idea anyway.
- [Laughing.]
I believe you also kidnapped Jarod.
Huh? Desperate times call for desperate measures.
"Desperate times call for desperate measures," Anna.
So, you weren't content just to kidnapJarod, were you? You also have to shoot his brother and kill him.
That was an accident, pure and simple.
This is beautiful! It's just one big happy family, isn't it? It's the end of the line, Lyle.
There's no place left for you to run.
I'm disappointed in you, Jarod.
You know me better than that.
Drop the cannon, kid.
- Shoot him, you moron! - Shut up! Stay back, or I put a very large hole in big brother.
- Kyle.
- Threats and pain that's all you've ever offered us.
You stole our lives, and you killed our spirit and now you think you can threaten us with death? It doesn't matter, Lyle.
Because we never made a difference anyway.
I'll kill him.
I swear I will.
And then I'll kill you.
Don't do this, little brother.
- [Grunts.]
- [Groans.]
[Yells.]
[Kyle Groans.]
There's another part about what drives Jarod that l-l- I don't understand.
- And that is? - [Chuckles.]
Why, after all you've done to him he has not killed you.
After all he is more resourceful and intelligent than you are.
Maybe he just likes me.
Not.
[Chuckles.]
Shall we start from the beginning, all over again, huh? - [Miss Parker.]
Where the hell is Lyle? - [Sydney.]
I don't know but he seemed genuinely disturbed over the revelation that Mr.
Lee is in contact with your father's office.
Well, we're not waiting any longer.
- Let's go ahead and talk to this guy.
- Hmm.
- Hi.
- Hi.
Hi,J.
R.
My name is Sydney.
This is Miss Parker.
Miss Parker? You sure look familiar.
I have one of those faces.
Listen,J.
R it's very important that you tell us exactly what Mr.
Lee wanted to know aboutJarod.
Is Jarod in some kind of trouble? - He might be.
- I'll do anything to help him.
He saved my life twice.
Once before I even met him.
J.
R? Honey? Sweetie, can you hear me? J.
R? - [Jarod.]
He's in shock.
- Wake up.
- He's still breathing.
- [Mother.]
He's hypoglycemic.
- When was the last time he ate? - He had cereal for breakfast three, four hours ago.
J.
R? Come on, honey.
What do you think you're doing? I need to stabilize his blood sugar.
Stick this in your mouth.
I want you to let it dissolve, okay? Good boy.
- Mom? - Oh! Oh! It's okay, honey.
Everything's gonna be okay.
Mr.
Lee seemed real interested in the fact thatJarod knew I was sick.
- Your heart.
- I needed a transplant.
My mom had pretty much given up hope that I'd get one in time untilJarod came into our lives.
- How is he feeling? - [Mother.]
Better.
He has a heart condition.
I noticed the bluish tint to his fingertips and his lips.
I'd say by the looks of it, you have a very sick boy.
- Are you a doctor? - Not at the moment.
Why hasn't he had a heart transplant? Because he's on a waiting list.
Because he has AB-negative blood, which is very rare.
- It only happens in certain families.
- One in 300,000.
I know.
I have it too.
You said Jarod saved your life twice.
He found me a heart.
You stay with me, little brother.
I'm gonna get you to a hospital.
[Weakly.]
It's too late, Jarod.
Don't you say that.
Look at me! Come on, just-just think- Think about all the good times we're gonna have together.
- I'm sorry, Jarod.
- For what? F-For everything.
[Kyle Gasps.]
No.
[Sobs.]
- Jarod gave you his brother's heart.
- Yeah.
And ever since the transplant, he calls.
Notjust to check up on me - but to see how I'm really doing.
- Mmm.
Jarod's like the older brother that I never had.
Mr.
Lee seemed to think that was real important.
Thank you,J.
R.
Sam will take you home.
Come on, Tin Man.
[Basketball Bouncing.]
Mr.
Lee's really narrowing it down.
Compassion, empathy, desire for justice- all the things that makeJarod, Jarod.
Do you think he'll be able to anticipateJarod's next move - to actually catch him? - Unless we get there first.
- [Metal Clanging.]
- Miss Parker? Miss Parker.
[Clears Throat.]
About that phone call from Lee to your father's office? - What about it? - Well, it wasn't actually for Mr.
Parker.
Well, did it go to his office or didn't it? Yes.
Tech- I mean, technically, yes.
- Technically? - Well, there was a second phone line recently installed in your father's suite.
It seems now he's sharing his office with someone else.
And I traced the call from Mr.
Lee to that new line.
And just whose new line might that be, as if I didn't know? - Brigitte.
- Well, why did I even ask? Hold on, she's not there.
I, uh- [Clears Throat.]
L-I just intercepted another call between her and Mr.
Lee.
She just left in a limo.
Mr.
Lee's limo.
They're goin'to getJarod.
[Mr.
Lee.]
We're going to getJarod now.
- So, tell me how you found him.
- Simple.
- [Typing.]
- By interviewing people whose lives Jarod has touched I've been able to understand how he thinks.
And more importantly, how he feels.
We were able to break the code- the pattern ofhis behavior.
Jarod has a need to defend those abused by power.
Because of this need, he's drawn to predictable situations.
- Such as? - Those that are related to the trauma of his childhood, and the guilt he feels over the abuse of his work.
Anna has extensively researched potential scenarios that would attract him.
We've successfully isolated the one that will lead us to him.
It's a shame my future stepchildren won't be there to share the moment.
- [Chuckles.]
- [Giggles.]
- You're deliciously naughty.
[Laughs.]
- [Giggling.]
Why, thank you, Mr.
Lee.
A blind Chinese guy, a bimbo and a limousine- how hard can that be to find? [Slams Down Receiver.]
Two and a half years we've been chasing Jarod and that bitch is gonna bring him in.
Lyle, are you all right? You look terrible.
- You ought to see the other guy.
- Bad hair day? I was abducted by several of Lee's men.
They obviously got the best of me, but I put a whole lot of hurtin' on 'em in the process.
Lee questioned me for hours, but finally gave up.
Had his enforcers drop me off in the middle of nowhere.
[Clucks Tongue.]
Oh.
Well, you can thank Bridget - for your quality time with Lee.
- Brigitte? - [Affirmative Grunt.]
- He's working for her.
Yeah.
She's gonna bring Jarod in.
Well, not if we get there first.
I've triangulated the signal from Brigitte's cell phone.
And this should lead us right to Brigitte and to Mr.
Lee.
Oh, and they'll lead us right toJarod.
[Laughs.]
- [Chattering.]
- [Beeping.]
[Computerized Voice.]
Thank you, Jarod.
You're welcome.
Abner gets to come home where he should have been all the time.
How can we ever repay you for all you have done for us? - This is repayment enough.
- Oh.
Good luck, Abner.
[Brigitte.]
Ironic place to find Jarod.
A genius at a facility for the mentally challenged.
Yes, Jarod has discovered that many of the residents have been intentionally misdiagnosed.
The director keeps them here in order to defraud their insurance and their parents.
They're trapped- prisoners in an institution that denies them their freedom.
And Jarod's here to liberate them.
How noble.
- Wait.
- [Helicopter Approaching.]
No.
No, no, no, no! I don't believe this! - What the hell are you doing here? - Good to see you too.
- Where is he? - I'm supposed to bring him in! - Like hell you are.
- Nobody's cuttin' me out of this, least of all you.
Stop your arguing! We must get toJarod now! He's gone.
You have a gift for the obvious.
He knew we were coming.
He's known all along.
Intercepted your memo.
- What memo? - From Brigitte to Daddy requesting the unique services of Mr.
Lee to catch Jarod.
- He couldn't have done this alone.
- You blew it, angel.
[Mr.
Lee.]
Someone informed him of our presence.
Anna.
[Helicopter Rotors Whirring.]
Thank you for all of your help.
After all the people you've helped it was about time that someone helped you.
What you did took a lot of courage.
You bought me the time I needed.
I'd do it again in a heartbeat.
I mean, what you did for my family and my nephew- I'm the one who should be thanking you.
- I hope someday we'll meet again.
- I hope so too.
