The Pretender s03e13 Episode Script

Pool

[Cell Phone Beeping.]
- [Rings, Beeps.]
- This is Sydney.
[Jarod.]
It's incredible how beautiful Yellowstone is.
- Even from 12,000 feet.
- I can barely hear you.
I'm going through a little turbulence.
- Speaking of black clouds, is Miss Parker around? - Hasn't arrived yet.
- Well, it's very important that I speak with her.
- Sounds mysterious.
I'm on my way to meet someone that was very close to her mother.
- Someone who can answer a lot of questions.
- [Engine Pops, Sputters.]
Jarod, is something wrong? I'm fine, but my engine doesn't appear to be.
Listen, Sydney.
I don't have much time.
- Did the package come that I sent for Miss Parker? - It arrived early this morning.
- See that she gets it.
- Don't worry.
I'll take care of it.
- If you don't talk to me in one hour- - [Engine Sputters.]
- [Beeps.]
- [Whispers.]
Jarod.
[Beeps.]
Come on, baby.
Don't fail on me now.
[Sputtering.]
- [Applause On TV.]
- Make with the hot stuff, stranger boy.
[Broots Laughing.]
Hmm.
[Laughs.]
[Broots Laughing.]
- Home movies, Broots? - [Clears Throat.]
Miss Parker.
- [Chuckles.]
Good morning.
- What's good about it, Cheetah? Well, uh- Are you okay? Just peachy.
Thomas is out of town for another week.
Last time I checked, my father was still in Cabo with that troll.
And if that's not enough torment, he left Raines in charge of this nuthouse.
Speaking of which, just what the hell are you two doing? Oh, uh- [Chuckles.]
It's therapy.
Sydney's hoping that a little cognitive stimulation might improve Angelo's expressive abilities.
Well, it certainly seems to be working for the monkeys.
Oh, Miss Parker.
- You wanted to see me, Dr.
Dolittle? - You okay? I'm fine.
Geez.
You get a little gas, and people think you're dying.
Seems like you've had a great deal of indigestion lately.
Well, what do you expect? I work with you three.
[Man On TV.]
Right then and there.
And it sure made a happy gal out of Fanny and made a big hero out of the Lonesome Stranger.
Hi-ho, Plastic.
[Whinnies.]
Oh, for God's sake.
What do you want, Sydney? It's from Jarod to you.
Probably another twisted attempt to rub my face in my twisted dysfunctional family life.
[Broots.]
A rosary? Miss Parker has pain.
- Parker, are you okay? - Sydney.
Hang on.
Oh, God.
Miss Parker! Miss Parker! Parker.
Parker, can you hear me? Syd, she was just standing there, and then- and then she just fell.
- Oh, my God.
She's burning up.
- She's going into shock.
- We've got to get her to a hospital now.
- Okay.
Help! We need help.
Somebody call 911.
Miss Parker needs faith but faith is dead.
Miss Parker needs faith, but faith is dead.
Mayday! Mayday! This is 2- niner Charlie Victor.
Over.
- [Man.]
What's your problem, Charlie Victor? - I've lost all power.
- And I'm descending rapidly.
- Charlie Victor, what's your location? Over.
Charlie Victor, do you read me? Over.
[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.
[Grunting.]
[Woman's Voice.]
B.
P.
's 70 over 40 and falling.
Pulse 110 and thready.
Pupils dilated and unresponsive.
O saturation, 78.
Respiration shallow at 40.
She needs plasma, O-neg- lots of it.
I want a C.
B.
C.
, blood gases, the works.
You're a doctor, right? - Psychiatrist.
- What the hell happened? [Sighs.]
She was experiencing abdominal pain.
Then she just collapsed.
She has a history of ulcers.
And she's been under a lot of stress.
She appears to have massive internal bleeding.
Probably a perforated ulcer.
- Well, will she be okay? - It's too early to tell.
Excuse me.
Alert O.
R.
To prepare for surgery.
[Sydney.]
Broots, I've got to get back to the Centre.
- You're leaving now, Syd? - Jarod's supposed to call.
- Jarod? - I'll explain later.
Stay here and monitor her condition.
I'll be back.
Okay.
I'm not goin' anywhere.
[Man.]
"Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death I will fear no evil, for thou art with me.
" [Speaking Spanish.]
Amen.
The valley of the shadow of death.
The shadow of death.
The shadow of death.
[Echoes.]
Jarod, can you keep a secret? I guess so, Miss Parker.
What is it? There's a dead body in the Centre.
A dead body? Where is it? I saw them deliver the coffin this morning to Dr.
Raines.
He told them to take it to the containment area.
Yeah.
I've heard Sydney talk about that place.
They do a lot of special projects down there, but they've never taken me there.
- I don't even know where it is.
- Me either.
I asked my daddy about the coffin and the body, but he wouldn't talk about it.
For the last few weeks- well, since Mommy died- he's been too busy to talk to me about anything.
I still can't believe she's really gone.
I'm sorry about your mother.
I'm okay.
Anyway, if Dad won't tell me where the body is, then I'll just find it on my own.
If you could follow Dr.
Raines without him knowing it, he'd lead you straight to it.
- Well, come on then.
Let's go find him.
- I didn't say I would do it.
- You're not scared, are you? - No.
It's just I've never seen anyone who was dead before.
They can't hurt you- anymore.
I'm more afraid of Dr.
Raines.
I hate doctors.
She's lost a lot of blood.
The pressure's almost undetectable.
- We don't have much time.
- [Woman.]
She's prepped for abdominal entry.
- Are you ready? - She's out.
Let's start.
- This one's gonna need a miracle to survive.
- [Machine Beeping.]
[Groaning.]
[Groaning.]
Ow.
[Grunts.]
- [Crack.]
- [Screams.]
[Panting.]
[Grunting.]
[Groaning, Coughs.]
[Young Jarod's Voice.]
I wonder what it's like to die.
Ask Raines.
Looks like he died a long time ago.
Come on.
Let's go find the dead guy.
It's weird.
Death is something that everyone experiences but no one wants to talk about it.
Yeah.
When my mom died all the grown-ups would come up and talk to me about anything except what I wanted to talk about.
About what happened to her.
He went this way.
So when we find the coffin, then what? We open it.
I wonder what it'll look like.
What if it was someone who was mutilated in a wreck or- or killed in a sim? Or maybe it was someone the Centre wanted to get rid of.
Maybe Dr.
Raines created some kind of monster, like Frankenstein.
- Who's Frankenstein? - [Door Opens.]
He's coming back.
Come on.
- There's nowhere to hide.
What do we do? - I don't know.
- [Doorknob Rattles.]
- Who's in there? - [Young Miss Parker.]
Thanks, Angelo.
- Faith is waiting.
That was too close.
Don't wet your pants, Jarod.
You look like you're gonna pass out or something.
[Soft Growl, Panting.]
[Growls.]
Perfect.
- Get out of here! - [Rock Rattles.]
Hello.
Can anybody read me? This is an emergency.
Hello.
Over.
This is Montana Air Patrol.
Please respond.
This is 2-niner Charlie Victor.
My engine stalled, and I've crashed into a- a river or an inlet.
- I need some help.
- Are you hurt? Over.
I have multiple lacerations.
I dislocated my shoulder and I think I've broken a couple of ribs.
- [Mouthing Words.]
- I'm stable for now, but I could use some medical help.
Roger that.
Are there any other survivors? Over.
- No.
I'm alone.
- [Static.]
Hello.
Hello.
Can you hear me, air patrol? Over.
Hello.
- Hello.
- This is air patrol.
I'm losing your signal.
There's a cold front coming in.
We need your exact location.
- Respond.
- I'm not sure.
I was about two hours outside of Casper.
I was heading northwest.
I'm about 30 miles from- Thirty miles from where? Charlie Victor, I'm losing you.
Hello.
Hello.
Please respond, Charlie Victor.
- I lost him.
- Probably for good.
Nobody can survive a night out there.
No one.
[Jarod.]
Hello.
Can you hear me? Over.
[Grunts.]
Can anybody hear me? [Echoes.]
Hello! [Echoes.]
Can anybody hear me? [Echoes.]
[Cell Phone Rings.]
- Jarod? - No, it's Broots.
- I'm here at the hospital.
What's goin' on? - Jarod never called.
- It's not like him.
How's Miss Parker? - I don't know.
They just brought her out of surgery.
They're getting her settled into I.
C.
U.
I want to go in there, but they're not letting anyone see her yet.
She shouldn't be alone in there, Syd.
Stay put, Broots.
I'm heading back there right away.
- Okay.
- [Beeps.]
No one should be alone at a time like this.
[Wolf Howls.]
[Owl Hoots.]
Come on.
Damn it.
[Grunts.]
Come on.
Come on.
Please light.
Come on.
Don't go out on me.
[Beeping.]
[Beeping.]
[Chattering.]
[Beeping Continues.]
You look so cold.
It's so strange, what with you givin' me a hard time all the time.
But I know you don't mean it.
I know it's just your way.
You've always been there for me.
Whenever I needed someone, it was you.
And you probably can't even hear me.
But I just want you to know that, other than Debbie I feel closer to you than to anyone.
Miss Parker you know, you- you can't leave me.
Miss Parker.
[Moans Softly.]
- Don't be afraid.
- [Moans Softly.]
- [Moans.]
- Don't be afraid, Miss Parker.
- [Young Jarod.]
Don't be afraid, Miss Parker.
- [Young Miss Parker.]
Afraid? I'm not afraid.
I just want to know where the hell we're going.
M-M-Miss Parker needs faith.
We don't need faith, Angelo.
We have to find the body.
[Young Jarod.]
Look.
That must be it.
What is it? It's where they're keeping the body.
Faith.
[Young Jarod.]
It feels strange to be here.
[Young Miss Parker.]
Maybe we shouldn't be.
[Young Miss Parker.]
Come on.
Let's get out ofhere.
We've come this far.
What's wrong? [Young Miss Parker.]
Nothing.
It reminds me of m- Never mind.
[Young Jarod.]
But I thought you wanted to see it.
[Young Miss Parker.]
I do.
This just isn't the right time.
- Are you afraid? - I don't know.
Come on.
[Wolf Whining.]
You hungry? Well, so am I.
So, you'rejust gonna have to wait a little longer for me.
- [Shouts.]
- [Growls.]
No.
[Machine Beeping.]
Sydney.
- [Sydney.]
How is she? - [Broots.]
Well, she lost a lot ofblood.
Her fever's over 102.
The doctor says she's developed peritonitis, whatever the hell that is.
It's bad.
They said she- that she might not make it.
I wish there was something I could do.
[Whispers.]
You're already doing it, Broots.
Sorry, guys.
Gotta ask you to leave now.
- It's real important she gets her rest.
- Okay.
Faith.
[Moans.]
Faith.
Shh.
It's okay.
It's okay.
[Miss Parker Moans Softly.]
Faith.
[Woman On P.
A.
.]
Wheelchair, 412.
She keeps saying something about faith.
That's what Angelo said- in the sim lab when he saw the rosary thatJarod sent her.
Right before she collapsed.
- What do you think it means? - I'm not sure.
But I seem to remember there was a project- long time ago- which was code-named Faith.
- We need to get back to the Centre.
- Now? I believeJarod was in a plane crash.
- What? - I need you to try and figure out where he might have gone down.
- Nurse.
- Yes.
If her condition changes- I have all your numbers.
I'll contact you immediately.
There isn't much you can do here anyway.
- It's all up to her now.
- Thank you.
Faith.
I have to find faith.
It's- It's a girl.
She's beautiful.
[Murmurs.]
- You're not dead.
- Neither are you.
Yeah.
It's just we- Never mind.
My name is Miss Parker.
Kind of formal, isn't it? Hi.
I'm Faith.
- Hi.
- I'm Jarod.
- And, uh, this is Angelo.
He doesn't talk much.
- Hi.
- [Young Jarod.]
What are you doin'down here? - Oh, I've been sick.
Really, really sick.
They brought me here to get well.
I've never seen other children in this place.
Yeah.
They live here.
I'm here with my dad.
He works here.
But, as it turns out, I'm usually alone.
I'm used to being by myself too.
But I'm not alone now.
Maybe we could play together.
You know, be friends.
I'd like that.
- [Footsteps Approaching.]
- Bad.
- We gotta get out of here.
- We're not supposed to be here.
We'll get in a lot of trouble.
- I won't tell anyone.
I promise.
- Okay.
- We gotta go now.
But we'll be back, okay? - Okay.
- Come on.
- I'll be back.
Bye.
I'm not going anywhere.
Close.
You know, I've never had a friend before.
I mean, a girlfriend.
I can't wait for Faith to get well so we can play together.
Faith, uh, isn't just sick.
She's very sick.
What do you mean? I read her chart, and she's- she's not gonna make it.
But I don't want her to die.
I don't want anyone to die.
I don't want her to die.
[Echoes.]
I don't want anyone to die.
[Echoes.]
[Angelo.]
Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee.
Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus.
Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death.
Amen.
Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee.
Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus.
Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death.
Amen.
- Hail Mary, full of Grace, the Lord is with thee.
- [Steady Beep.]
Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus.
Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death.
Amen.
[Girl Giggling.]
[Giggling.]
[Faith.]
Hi, Jarod.
[Steady Beep.]
[Woman.]
All right.
Bring it in this way.
- Got it.
- No pulse.
No respiration.
We've got a full code here, people.
Ten c.
c.
's of epinephrine now.
Prepare to defibrillate.
Starting at 100.
All clear.
- [Woman.]
Clear.
- [Man.]
Clear.
Hi.
You okay? Yeah.
I guess.
Come on.
Is she asleep? [Whispers.]
Faith.
Faith.
Oh.
Hi.
Did you see her? Who? My mommy.
She was right here.
There's no one here.
I must have been dreaming.
But it was so real.
We were laughing and talking about what we were gonna do.
And I didn't feel you know, sick anymore.
How do you feel? Better since you got here.
Here.
It was my mom's.
It's mine now.
She said that I should hold it and think about her whenever I feel frightened or sad.
You know, it's like I feel her with me again.
[Sobs.]
And before you know it I'm not frightened or lonely anymore.
It always makes me feel better.
Thank you.
And thank you for being my friend.
I'll always be your friend.
I'll always be there for you and watching over you.
Just like my mommy.
Mommy.
Mommy.
[Very Faint.]
Mommy.
She's gone.
[Young Miss Parker.]
No.
No, Faith.
Oh, please, no, Faith.
- Please, Faith.
Don't leave, Faith.
No.
Please.
- [Alarm Ringing.]
- They'll be here soon.
Come on.
- M-Must g-go.
No.
Faith.
[Alarm Continues.]
[Steady Beep.]
I told you I'd always be watching you.
You've got to fight.
You can't give up.
It's not your time yet.
All clear.
You mommy loves you very much.
And she wants you to fight too.
Up to 200.
One more time.
[Steady Beep.]
[Faith.]
Your mommy loves you very much.
[Echoes.]
[Young Miss Parker.]
Mama, show me how to braid my hair.
All right.
- [Beeps.]
- We got her.
This one's a fighter.
Jarod, you can't give up.
I don't understand.
Just hang on.
They'll be coming for you soon.
Don't give up.
[Giggling.]
Not yet.
You can't have me yet.
Just hang on.
It'll be daylight s-soon.
Hang on.
- Any news on Miss Parker? - Nothing.
But her father should be there by now.
He was flying back in as soon as he heard what happened.
- And I found something.
- What? Buried deep in the Centre Archive.
- Faith.
- Faith? Who is she? Young girl who was here a long time ago.
But the record's incomplete.
Somebody went to a lot of trouble to hide the truth.
- Any luck with Jarod? - Oh, yeah.
[Clears Throat.]
Using a map of Yellowstone, flight charts and satellite weather imaging from the last time you spoke with Jarod I figure he went down somewhere right in here.
[Sydney.]
That would take days to search.
Well, maybe not.
I contacted the Montana Air Patrol and they received a distress call from someone in this area but lost it before they could establish an exact location.
- Jarod? - Well, it has to be.
- Using an emergency radio.
- Mm-hmm.
I correlated my data along with the location of the air patrol's receiving station.
See, I figure he's got to be right here along this three-mile bank of river.
Contact the Montana Air Patrol immediately.
Okay.
[Sydney.]
I just hope we're not too late.
[Machine Beeping.]
Her vitals are stable.
- All we can do now is wait.
- Th-Thank you, Nurse.
Faith, where are you? Where are you? Faith, where are you? [Crying.]
Are you gonna be all right? I think so.
Where did she go? I don't know.
At least she didn't die alone.
I wonder if we'll ever see her again.
Have faith.
[Sobs.]
She said she'd always be watching over us.
I miss her and I don't even know who she was.
[Sobbing.]
[Machine Beeping.]
[Exhales Deeply.]
- Daddy.
- I'm so glad you're back.
- Daddy.
- Yes, angel.
Who's Faith? Faith was your sister.
[Young Mr.
Parker.]
What an awful way to die.
[Young Raines.]
Mr.
Parker, the Cleaners will be here soon to dispose of the body.
[Young Mr.
Parker.]
God's sake, Raines.
Don't you have any compassion? Find the priest that did Catherine's funeral.
Father Moore.
I want him to make the arrangements.
[Young Raines.]
Father Moore? I never trusted him.
We don't know what all Catherine may have told him over the years.
[Mr.
Parker.]
I don't think you understand me.
Catherine's wishes will be carried out.
The body is to go to Father Moore.
End of discussion! [Young Mr.
Parker.]
Oh, Lord.
Nobody should ever die alone.
[Echoes.]
- [Wolf Growls.]
- [Gasps, Panting.]
[Growls.]
[Growls.]
You can't have me yet.
[Grunts.]
[Helicopter Whirring.]
[Jarod Grunts, Pants.]
Over here! - He's alive.
- I'll be dammed.
[Miss Parker.]
Daddy, why didn't you tell me about Faith? I didn't tell you about Faith first because, uh, I knew she was dying.
After your mother I couldn't tell you.
We'd both had enough.
She was my sister? Her parents were killed.
She became a ward of the state.
Then she was diagnosed with leukemia.
The doctor said there was, uh, nothing could be done.
So the state, uh, put her in a convalescent home to die.
How did she end up at the Centre? Well, your, uh- your mother's priest, Father Moore, told her about the girl.
They went to see her.
Your mother said that might have been you in the nursing home.
She had to do something; otherwise, she couldn't live with herself.
So the two of you adopted her.
Ah.
Well, with Father Moore's help we brought her to the Centre where Catherine could be with her.
We doctored her with an experimental drug the Centre was developing.
Future treatment proved successful because of what we had learned from Faith.
She died shortly after Catherine.
[Sobs.]
Miss Parker.
There's some people who would like to see you.
Miss Parker.
Hi.
- Mr.
Parker.
- [Sydney.]
The nurse called to let us know that you'd regained consciousness.
And I thought you'd want this.
[Sobs, Giggles.]
Thank you both.
Broots.
[Clears Throat.]
Guess we'll see you later.
[Cell Phone Rings.]
- [Beeps.]
- Yes.
- Thank you.
- [Beeps.]
What? Jarod? They found him.
Alive.
[Man.]
Jarod.
It's nice to finally meet you in the flesh.
I'm Father Moore.
But how did you find me? Well, I was concerned when you didn't arrive at Butte.
You seemed so anxious to meet the last time we spoke.
Our mutual friend at the Centre told me what happened and where I could find you.
- The Centre? - No.
No, no.
Relax.
The Centre has no idea where you are or where we're going.
Thank you- for helping me.
Catherine Parker would have wanted it that way.
[Miss Parker.]
I'd forgotten how beautiful it is.
- How did you get it? - An old friend of your mother's.
- Father Moore.
- He found the rosary clutched in Faith's hand.
He knew how much it meant to your mother so he wanted me to give it to you.
Thank you, Jarod.
Do you ever think about her? I think about her all the time.
- It's ironic too.
- What is? All those years ago- you and l- we went searching for death and we found someone who saved our lives.
I'm sure she was in that room with me.
And I'm sure she was with me up on that mountain.
She said she'd always be watching over us.
She was.
- Are we crazy? - I don't know exactly what happened.
- But I do know that I'm sure of one thing.
- What? Love transcends death.
That the people we love touch our lives even after they're gone.
[Giggling.]
