The Pretender s04e19 Episode Script
The Inner Sense
Previously on The Pretender.
Enough! We don't want him dead.
[Tires Screeching.]
Nice to meet you, Jarod.
I'm Zoe.
- [Jarod.]
I want to stay with you.
- [Zoe.]
I know.
But you can't stay, can you? I can see it in your eyes.
[Jarod.]
Edna Raines knows things about your mother, Miss Parker.
I need to talk to you about your mother and Mirage.
It could be a matter of life and death.
[Sydney.]
Edna Raines is dead.
She knew all the secrets, especially about the Mirage Project.
[Miss Parker.]
Jarod's e-mail said to keep digging.
It's your mother's grave.
Miss Parker, your mother- she's not here.
Then where the hell is she? Oh, come on.
Everybody's been on at least one vacation.
I swear, Zoe, I've never been on vacation.
Not even, uh, Mount Rushmore? - The Alamo? - Mm-mmm.
What about Niagara Falls? I definitely would have remembered that.
Wait, I did eat at a "Stookey's" off of I-65 once.
Does that count? "Stuckey's.
" Only if you bought the pecan log.
- What's a pecan log? - Oh, you really have never had a vacation, have you? Who needs a vacation when I have you? You swear to me you're in total remission? Yeah.
I probably pissed off a few H.
M.
O.
's, but what the hell? - Zoe- - Hey.
You're not going all mushy on me, are you? - [Ringing.]
- [Electronic Voice.]
You have a video phone call.
That's my video phone.
- Um, I'll be right back.
- Okay.
[Ringing Continues.]
- Hello, Son.
- Oh, my God! Dad! I've been searching for you for over a year.
Where have you been? I know.
The boy and I had to go underground for a while.
We kept searching for you too, but with no luck until an anonymous tip came my way.
I was able to unscramble your password, which got me into you here.
- Then you're both okay? - Thank God the boy and I are both well.
- The boy? - He's sort of like my brother.
I'll- I'll explain it to you sometime.
Dad, this is Zoe.
- Zoe, this is my dad.
- Jarod's been pretty damn worried about you, sir.
He's cute.
What happened to you? When can I see you? We have to be careful.
I don't trust the security of this line so I'll make it quick.
Jarod, I found Emily.
I found your sister.
What? How? Where is she? She's a reporter at the Philadelphia Examiner.
For security's sake I've left vital information about her where abouts on your secured e-mail.
She told me that recently, she was very close to finding you.
She cried when I told her I knew how to reach you.
I think you should go to her.
- Will you bring her back to me, Jarod? - Yes! - Yes, of course I will.
- Good luck, Son.
Keep me posted.
My- I found my dad.
Um- My- I-We've been looking for my sister for so long and now I found her, and I can, uh- Um-What about our trip? It can wait.
We'll have time.
And if I have any say in the matter, lots of it.
You're not gettin' all mushy on me, are you? Go find your sister.
[Man.]
Somebody call 911! [Woman.]
She's in the alley! - What happened? - A reporter was attacked.
- They say she was thrown out of that window.
- A reporter? An Emily something.
Emily? Emily! Emily? Emily? - Please help me.
- That's what I'm here to do.
I'm going to help you.
I'm Jarod.
I'm your brother.
- Jarod.
- Stay with me.
Stay with me.
- [Gasps, Coughs.]
- Emily? Emily? Somebody call an ambulance! [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.
- [Jarod.]
Life's a gift.
- You a doctor? - I am today.
- Pupils are unresponsive.
Respiration is shallow at 40.
- Pulse is weak and thready.
Probable closed head injury with internal bleeding and multiple fractures.
Keep her head stabilized.
Start an I.
V.
drip and run a C.
B.
C.
Page Radiology.
We need an abdominal and head CAT scan, stat.
- Who initiated C.
P.
R.
? - I did.
Your actions may have saved her life.
Are you a doctor? No.
[Jarod.]
I'm with the F.
B.
I.
- The victim is someone we've had our eye on for sometime now.
- Why? Let's just say that a few of her journalistic choices have struck a nerve in D.
C.
The victim's office is in here.
Name's Detective Brookins.
Call me Stan.
Agent Jarod Curtis.
Tell me what you know, the whole story.
Well, the victim came to the office early this morning.
So early, it was the night shift janitor that probably saved her life by walking in.
Anyway, from what I can tell, the woman was ambushed here then thrown out this window two stories to the pavement.
- Any description? - White male, 35-ish, average build, dark suit.
Got the sketch artist workin' on it now.
I want all of her files boxed and sealed and sent to your precinct.
And I'm also gonna need an office for a few days.
[Miss Parker.]
Well, it's about time you got back, Lyle.
So, what's the flavor of the day, little brother? Mail-order mamas from Malaysia? Or cannibal quiche from the Kalahari? - If you're here to talk with our father, he's gone.
- Well, then find him.
[Chuckles.]
Pounding boilermakers is hardly the breakfast of champions.
This isn't about you.
I'm sorry.
Okay, now I know you're sloshed.
What's going on, Parker? [Sighs.]
It's- It's about our mother.
She's gone.
- Our mother's been dead a long time.
- No.
I mean, she's not there.
I mean, her- She's not there? What do you mean she's not there, Parker? Parker? You wouldn't understand anyway.
- But I wanna know.
- Bet you do.
[Electronic Female Voice.]
Message voice box 04.
Record.
- [Beeps.]
- It's me.
I've got a bad feeling Miss Parker knows about Catherine's empty grave.
[Sydney.]
You believe someone stole your mother's body? Except for this scotch-induced earthquake rattling between my ears I'm not sure exactly what to believe anymore.
Let's face it, Sydney.
Catherine Parker's body being gone fits in with all the other bizarre happenings around here.
The reappearance of Edna Raines who, after 30 years, everyone thought was dead.
And who now really is dead, thanks to the bald butcher she called "Hubby.
" The murder of that harmless clerk Leonard down in SL 26 because he just happened to see the wrong memo.
And now, Catherine Parker's empty grave.
That's a lot of strange coincidences.
No.
Not coincidence.
Mirage.
Mirage? You mean what Edna Raines told you before she died? What was on both of those memos, the one I found on Lyle's desk and the one that killed that clerk.
Well, oddities, yes but status quo here at the Centre.
I never thought I'd hear you say "Murder is business as usual," Syd.
All I'm saying is, at times it is best to let some things go.
My mother's grave is empty, Sydney.
Maybe, just maybe, she had otherwishes that you didn't know about.
For her burial, I mean.
People sometimes make choices that are difficult to explain.
No.
This is one big fish I'm reeling in.
Broots, our best evidence- We follow the body.
In this case, my mother's.
We start with the autopsy records.
Parker? Why won't you let go of this? Because something inside me is telling me to do this.
And I'm listening.
Her condition is only fair, Agent Curtis.
- So please minimize your time with her.
- I will.
Thank you.
Em? It's your brother Jarod.
I was too late this morning.
I'm sorry.
But I'll never be late again.
I promise you.
[Lyle.]
How goes the world tour? Indeference to Winston Churchill or whoever the hell said it "The sun never sets on the Centre.
" And I'm making sure it never sets on the Parkers either.
- [Elevator Bell Dings.]
- Glad to hear it.
Since when is Raines hosting Triumvirate personnel? He'll be a blip on our radar as long as everything goes well with Mirage.
Unfortunately, we've got company there.
I've all but confirmed that Sis is on that same track.
- Ah, damn.
- Oh, it's nothing.
She's way behind the curve.
I'll make sure she stays there.
I don't want her knowing for her own good.
Hell, if she knew the truth, she'd only wish she didn't.
- Okay.
- [Crunch.]
- God! What'd I just step in? - I don't know.
- But if you hurry, you can still catch it.
- Ew! [Sydney.]
I can't believe you actually found Catherine Parker's autopsy files, Broots.
Well, I haven't found it yet.
But, according to Buzzie the only way to download a visual archive in the Sublevel is to tap directly into the Sublevel's mainframe terminals.
- Who the hell is Buzzie? - My pal down in Communications.
You know the old guy with the hearing aids? He's always griping about the constant ringing in his ears.
- I've got that problem myself.
- Get this.
You know the rumor that J.
F.
K.
was kept alive as a vegetable somewhere? Buzzie claims it was right here in SL 18.
Yeah, right next door to the alien corpses Nixon showed Jackie Gleason.
- That was here too? - [Sydney.]
Hey! This is Room 12.
This is it.
[Broots.]
Wow.
This is the room where they did your mother's autopsy.
- This shouldn't take long.
- [Zipper Unzipping.]
Sydney? - Parker, you okay? - Fine, Syd.
- I got it.
- [Raines.]
This begins the visual data archive to be known as number 566773.
The autopsy of Catherine Elaine Parker.
Date and time to follow.
Dr.
William Raines, M.
E.
Versatile guy, that Raines.
Beats 'em, bursts them, slices and dices.
[Raines.]
Initial findings indicate a single gunshot wound into the cranial region as cause of death.
Angle and force of the head wound strongly indicate the gunshot was self-inflicted.
- [Drill Whirring.]
- Let's just skip to the end, Broots.
Oh, God.
We've heard all these lies before.
I just need to see where the body goes.
Box the body for transport per the family wishes.
On a personal note, I would simply like to go on record to express my heartfelt remorse and to say that this is and will always be a tragic death in the annals of the Centre the likes of which I hope never to encounter again.
So, what now? We do a little exploratory surgery of our own see just how remorseful Dr.
Death really is.
[Man.]
I'm as sorry as I can be about the attack on Emily.
I wish all my tenants were like her.
I sort of connected with her right off- her lookin' for her family me not ever knowing my father and mother.
I'm sorry.
She was so close to changing all that for herself.
- What do you mean? - Well, she was hot on the trail of her brother.
Said she was, like, this close to finding him.
She'd tear up everytime she talked about it.
When was the last time that you saw my- uh, the victim? Um, must have been a couple of nights ago.
To tell you the truth, she seemed a little tense.
Said something about being, uh, close to a big discovery.
The brother that she was looking for? I-I don't think so.
This was something disturbing to her.
It wasn't a happy discovery.
Did you find something? I'm not sure.
Uh, thank you for your time but I'd like to look around for a little bit.
Sure.
Hey, you saved me a trip.
I was about to go into town and tell the police about this guy that was hanging around here.
It-It was the same guy from the police sketch in the evening paper.
I-I can't believe they left out the most important part of the description.
What's that? The fact that- Well, the guy was missing a thumb.
- [Women Laughing.]
- [Lyle.]
I've never even met you.
Who said anything about breakfast? Mr.
Lyle? Something tells me you haven't read the morning's paper.
You try to kill with kindness, and this is what happens.
Put a team together.
We're goin' back to Philly A.
S.
A.
P.
Right.
Allow me.
I'm not going to Sublevel 18.
Oh.
But you should.
It's a regular "Freaks-R-Us" down there.
You know the history.
J.
F.
K.
.
, dead Martians.
The room where you did my mother's autopsy.
It's gonna be a bitch gettin' that tank up and down the stairs.
It's common knowledge I performed your mother's autopsy.
But is it common knowledge that my mother's body isn't in her grave? What are you talking about? What the hell did you do with her body, you ghoul? What any responsible medical examiner would have done- honor the wishes of the deceased.
If you have a problem with that, take it up with her because this discussion is over.
Miss Parker, you told him about your mother's empty grave? He's gonna- He could- He could- He could lead us right to the answer.
[Broots.]
You told him on purpose.
That fish I said I'd be reeling in- I just baited the hook.
Now we troll.
- You with us, Syd? - [Elevator Bell Dings.]
[Woman.]
I'm sorry, Agent Curtis but I cannot in good conscience allow the victim to be transferred.
How would your conscience feel when they put you in jail for violation of a federal order? - That order is worthless in my eyes.
- I have seen her charts.
Her edema levels are back to normal, as well as hervital signs.
- The answer's still no.
- Whoever tried to kill her knows he failed and he will be back to finish the job, I guarantee you that.
Releasing her to the next of kin would be my only option here.
And correct me if I'm wrong but so far, none have turned up.
Until now.
I'm Emily's father and I think you should give the agent here what he wants.
I'll prep her for immediate release.
- It's so good to see you.
- How is she? - She's going to be okay.
- Great.
[Tires Screeching.]
Check over there.
Willie, stairs.
You, follow me.
- How many were there? - Four.
Go! Go! Damn! Where did she go? - Released.
She just went downstairs.
- Take the stairs.
That ambulance over there is mine.
I know a place that we can be safe.
You drive.
Good way to get yourself killed, pal.
Out of my way.
- See this woman come this way anywhere? - Nope.
Never seen her.
[Siren Wailing.]
Damn! I wanna thank you, Sister Mary, for everything you've done for us.
After all you've done for our parish, Jarod - you just stay as long as you want.
- [Bells Tolling.]
And we'll take very good care of Emily.
Nothing.
- No luck, huh? - It's like he doesn't exist.
Well, whoever this guy is, Emily's been tracking him for a while.
Here, let me give you a hand with the notes.
"Misplaced personality disorder.
" "Man with no name.
" "Talks to voices.
" "Enigma.
" Maybe it's a story she's been working on.
Or a lifelong mystery she's been trying to solve.
She thought this guy might have been you.
She's been searching, just like me.
Just like we all have.
Why would the Centre want to murder her? And how does he fit in? [Broots.]
Boy, you put the worm on and he took it hook, line and sinker.
Man.
But I never pegged Raines for the rustic type.
In the middle of nowhere, you can't hear anyone scream.
I need to get to that fire.
[Miss Parker.]
Anything, Broots? Looks like a Raines time capsule.
Everything from old mortgage papers to his kid's kindergarten artwork.
Move over, Monet.
Looks like "Ethan.
" His son? I've tried not to fire too many synapses remembering things about the Raines family.
You think Raines used to live here? Well, we used to visit his house occasionally but it was on the other side of town.
Maybe he used this place as some kind of personal storage depot.
Yeah.
Well, no offense against his kid's artwork but this is starting to feel like a dead-end trip down memory lane.
Miss Parker? I think another street just opened up.
Huh.
St.
Christopher medal.
Miss Parker, look.
[Emily Moans.]
Emily? Emily? Hi.
It's me, Em.
It's your brother.
- Jarod? - Dad's here too.
We're all together now.
[Mutters.]
Take your time.
Take your time.
What is it you wanna tell us? I found this picture in your research files.
You thought he was me, didn't you? Who is he? Ethan.
- Ethan? - He hears the voices.
Talks- He talks to the voices.
I read that in your notebook.
What voices, Emily? Hey, I think she should rest.
Come on.
Okay.
NuGenesis.
NuGenesis? My God.
The Centre Fertility Clinic? I have no fond memories of that place.
Here.
"AA8585.
" Is that a file number? - From NuGenesis? - Does that have anything to do with this man Ethan? Follow NuGenesis.
Follow him.
Follow him.
Emily? Emily? You know, if you consider yourself any kind of friend of hers you'll destroy those disks.
- And you will destroy it now! - But I can't! I can't, Sydney.
I don't really have a choice in the matter, do I? I mean, this is Miss Parker's life.
- This is her past.
She has every right to see it.
- See what? Do what you must, Broots.
But I won't be a part of opening this Pandora's box.
[Miss Parker.]
What Pandora's box? [Broots.]
I was able to reconstruct one tiny piece of the disks we found at Raines's forest house.
- The same place we were today? - Yeah, but- Just watch.
[Raines.]
I hope you're feeling comfortable here, Catherine after all you've been through.
I never thought I'd see the day when I'd be thanking you for your kindness, Dr.
Raines.
But thank you.
- My mother was there.
- Yeah.
But what's important is the date.
Look.
Look at the date code on the D.
S.
A.
Your mother was shot and killed at the Centre in April.
- This says June.
There must be a mis- - No.
It's physically and technically impossible to alter the dates on the Centre D.
S.
A.
surveillance system.
Sydney didn't want me to show you this.
I don't know why.
But it's a lock.
Your mother did not die in that elevator, Miss Parker.
Are- Are you saying my mother is still alive? Your mother alive? Does this make any sense? - Do you think that was hers? - I don't remember it, but anything's possible.
Keep decoding the forest house archives.
And don't tell anyone.
- Not even Sydney? - Especially Sydney.
He's done everything except handcuff me to a freight train to keep me from digging into this.
There must be someone you can trust.
Where's Angelo? Looks like the same kind of insanity I grew up with.
Are you sure this is the address Emily gave us for Ethan? Positive.
He's been videotaping himself for years.
Is there anything on NuGenesis AA8585? Nope.
But there's enough material here to write a dissertation on bomb-making.
But this guy's taken it a step further.
He's designing his own bomb.
Huh.
Look.
There's an unmailed letter to his parents, the Clausens.
According to this time code, this video was made less than one hour ago.
There's your little bomb-maker.
Let's see what he's been up to.
Just leave me alone! - Who's he talking to? - I know I shouldn't yell.
I won't be bad anymore.
According to Emily's notes there were signs of erratic behavior, of multiple personalities.
He must be wrestling with some kind of demons inside.
Emily said he could hear the voices, whatever that means.
[Phone Ringing.]
Yeah? Hey, hey, listen.
I'm in trouble.
I need to talk to you.
Yes, I'm-I'm almost ready with 7677.
I-I just need a few more components.
But I'm tellin' you, I need to talk.
You swear that after the explosion the pain will be gone? They're promising him his inner torture will end if he pulls off some kind of bombing for them.
- The Centre.
- Who else? Okay, I'll do it.
First, I wanna see my mom and dad.
Why won't you let me see my mom and dad? It's been so long.
I-I-I wrote them a letter.
Why can't I send it? They do love me! I know.
I know you do too.
[Line Disconnects, Dial Tone.]
[Grunts.]
- What? Are you sure? - What's he doing? - He's talking to the voices.
- He's gonna- He's gonna hurt my mom and dad? He can't hurt my mom and dad.
[Major Charles.]
Wherever he's going, he's not coming back and he's taking his bomb with him.
Come on.
Let's go.
It's not my fault that Jarod found his sister before the Sweeper team did.
It's your fault she was still alive.
Well, what did you teach me about water under the bridge? If it gets deep enough, it'll drown you.
What about Mirage? - We're still searching.
- Oh, that's perfect.
My daughter is searching for a ghost my son is searching for a monster.
Last one alive wins, hmm? [Angelo.]
Secrets and lies.
Secrets and lies.
When it comes to the Centre, Angelo, secrets and lies are like oxygen.
Lies.
Angelo, I need you to empath this for me.
It may have belonged to my mother.
Your mother wore this.
Her journey not over.
My mother is still out there? Illusions are real.
What's that mean? Mirages are real.
What's "Mirage," Angelo? Mirages are real.
Tell me what that means! Miss Parker.
He- He's on your side.
Angelo sorry.
He doesn't know the answers.
But Sydney knows.
Sydney knows all the secrets and lies.
[Sobbing.]
Oh, please.
Please don't be dead.
Please.
[Sobbing.]
Don't leave me.
- Please don't leave.
Please.
- [Voices Whispering.]
You did this.
No, I swear I didn't do this.
You hurt them! Why? Why? Ethan, I didn't hurt them.
I swear to you.
I did not kill them.
- [Voices Whispering.]
- Somebody hurt them.
Somebody killed my parents.
Please, let me help you.
- Help? - My sister Emily - she followed you because she wanted to help you.
- [Sirens Wailing.]
- That's all I want to do.
- There's no help for me.
- [Tires Screeching.]
- Not from you.
There's only one person who can help me now.
Ethan! Ethan! - Freeze! - I'm F.
B.
I.
It's okay.
It's okay.
F.
B.
I.
- There were reports of shots fired.
- Upstairs.
Two bodies.
I was too late.
You knew my mother was alive, but you didn't tell me? Yes.
Then give me one good reason not to blow your Flemish brains out.
I promised her I wouldn't tell you.
[Sighs.]
Well, as you know I gave your mother her last psychiatric session less than an hour before her supposed murder.
- Supposed suicide in the elevator.
- "Supposed.
" What does that mean, Sydney? Catherine? Catherine, please relax.
Sydney, I just found out that someone I love is planning to kill me.
- Who? - I can't tell you.
A friend.
But it's forcing me to- to make a very difficult decision.
I'm going to stage my death in hopes of saving my life.
- I don't understand.
- And I don't have time to explain it all.
But you know these people, what they're capable of.
I try not to imagine.
Their latest is a project called Mirage and they've made me a key player.
My only way out is dying, by their hands or my own.
[Sydney.]
This is dangerous talk.
These are dangerous times, Sydney.
I'll do what I have to to survive.
And then I'll come back and rescue Jarod and Angelo and my little girl.
What about your little girl? She's my gift from God and I don't know how to save her without causing her this pain.
Promise me, Sydney.
Swear to me that you'll protect her that you'll never tell her about this.
- You owe me.
- I know I do.
Whatever happens, no matter how badly she wants to know I don't want my baby girl to ever have to face the true tragedy of her family's secret.
- Promise me.
- I promise.
Godspeed, Catherine.
An hour later, the gunshot rang out.
You know the rest.
I never saw Catherine again.
- Do you know what it is? - What? Mirage.
The tragedy of my family's secret? I'm afraid I don't.
That is the truth.
Ethan's parents were murdered as a message to him.
Finish the 7677 bombing, or else.
Sounds like a message from the Centre to me.
- That has the Centre fingerprints all over it.
- This too.
- You hacked into the NuGenesis mainframe? - Uh-huh.
And you won't believe what I found in file number AA8585.
[Jarod.]
AA8585 was a shipment of cryogenically frozen sperm samples.
They were airlifted to the Centre decades ago.
Someone wanted to get pregnant pretty badly.
Yeah, but they weren't just anyone's samples, Jarod.
They were mine.
- How much does Jarod know? - [Lyle.]
We're not sure.
But Major Charles's seminal records have been compromised at NuGenesis.
[Lyle.]
And there's more.
Jarod was spotted at the parents' house.
- Before or after they were killed? - After, thank God.
- And Mirage? - [Sighs.]
He's still out there.
There's gotta be some way to get to Jarod before he beats us to him.
There is one.
We give him something more important to go after.
Something named Zoe.
[Mr.
Parker.]
Good thinking, Mr.
Cox.
[Major Charles.]
It only gets stranger and stranger.
- More on your records at NuGenesis? - Yeah.
For the past 25 years, comparative genetic test follow-ups have been conducted using my D.
N.
A.
The question is, who or what are they comparing it to? It doesn't say.
But the results were sent to a private residence in Blue Cove, Delaware.
Come on.
[Engine Starts.]
Okay, let's go.
You all right? Something feels weird.
- We're talkin' Mr.
Raines.
It's supposed to be weird.
- No.
This is weirder than him.
- What are we lookin' for? - The truth.
I'll check over here.
No.
It's not over there.
How do you know, Son? I just know.
It's- It's like a strange deja vu.
- What are you mumbling about? - I decoded some of the archives from the forest house.
And, well, if a picture's worth more than a thousand words I think I've just uncovered a thesaurus.
This is about six months after your mother supposedly died.
- Well? - He'll be here in a few minutes.
- You sure you wanna do this? - [Sighs.]
I have to.
- What? What did she have to do? - Well, wait.
Just watch that door.
Like you've seen this place before? It's like I've been here before.
[Gasps.]
Oh, my God.
Jarod out of the Centre? Impossible.
How could that be? Secrets and lies.
- Hi, Jarod.
- Hello, Mrs.
Parker.
Thank you for coming.
Close the door.
Gynecological instruments? What is all this stuff? Tools of the trade.
- A birthing table? - The question is, whose? Come here, Jarod.
There's something I wanna tell you.
My mother was pregnant? You're going to have a brother.
[Major Charles.]
This is just too weird.
Birthing tables, incubators genetic follow-ups of my semen.
Are you thinking what I'm thinking? I have a brother.
I have a brother? Jarod and I share a brother? It must be Ethan.
- But where is he? - [Ethan.]
My parents are gone.
Mom is dead.
Dad is dead.
[Raines.]
I'm your father now.
[Sydney.]
Details are sketchy, Jarod.
I'm just now trying to piece a lot of this together myself.
This feeling is so strong, Sydney, that I've been to that forest house before.
But my mind wants to block it out.
I have a feeling too, Jarod, and it says you're lying.
- Miss Parker.
- I'm glad to hear your mind hasn't blocked me out yet.
Tell him, Syd.
Like he doesn't know.
Well, we saw the D.
S.
A.
, and you were definitely there.
- Then why don't I remember it? - [Miss Parker.]
You're the genius.
- You tell us.
- If I could I would, Miss Parker.
You know that.
I've never held back when it comes to your mother.
[Miss Parker.]
You were on the D.
S.
A.
, Jarod.
She talked to you.
- She told you secrets.
- I don't remember.
- Did she tell you why she faked her own death? - I don't know.
Or how in the hell that baby she was carrying is your brother? - Look, I don't know.
- Or where she was going, or where the baby went, or- I don't know! [Sydney.]
It is entirely possible that your subconscious mind has blocked out those recollections, Jarod either by itself or with the help of someone else.
So those memories could still be in Jarod's head? Every waking moment of our lives is stored somewhere in our minds.
[Jarod.]
Well, for what it's worth, Miss Parker, I believe that- that our brother is a man named Ethan.
Now, I don't know where he is but somehow he's involved with a project called 7677.
You figure out 7677.
.
you find baby brother.
[Ethan.]
I'm almost ready with 7677.
I just need a few more components.
But I'm telling you, I need to talk.
Okay.
[Grunts.]
Still nothin' on this guy, Agent? - Still nothing.
- [Man.]
You can't drag me out of my house like that! I got a whole grilled cheese goin' right there on the stove.
Hey, where do you want him, Detective? - Come on! - [Brookins.]
Ask, and ye shall receive.
That's the local munitions guy you asked us to haul in.
Name's Jed Sidel.
Small-time middle man, all-around weasel.
Well, what a coincidence.
Weasel season has just opened.
Jed.
- Agent Curtis, F.
B.
I.
- Hello.
On behalf of the Bureau, I would like to say congratulations.
- Hmm? - Well, you're moving up in the world.
- I am? - Aiding and abetting in the making ofbombs.
Helping to murder innocent citizens.
I mean, this is hardly fencing stolen TVs.
You're hittin' the big leagues.
Your parents must bevery proud of you.
- You got the wrong guy.
- Really? Well, he doesn't seem to think so.
I don't know who that is.
- That wasn't my question.
- What-What-What was the question? Why are you helping your friend here make bombs? - No, no.
Ethan ain't no friend of mine.
- Ethan? I thought you didn't know him.
Do you have any idea what this guy's gonna do to me if I spill to you? I mean, he talks to people that aren't even there.
He's crazy.
Unlike the lovable lifers in federal prison.
- Hmm? - I hear shower time's a real scream,Jed.
Explosives.
Yes.
He was looking for explosives.
Like C-4, Semtex, uh, digital fuses.
And all I did, and this is all I did was call a guy on the phone, and I- and I set up a meeting.
- That's it.
- Where and when? Mm-hmm.
At the warehouse at midnight.
Broad Street and Franklin.
[Engine Starts.]
There was only about one minute of stuff left on the D.
S.
A.
But what's there is really telling.
Dr.
Raines, leave us alone, please? Catherine, I don't think that would be a good idea.
I think it would be a great idea.
Jarod, there's something I have to tell you that you can never forget.
Okay.
I may not live much longer, and if I don't there's something very important I want you to tell my daughter.
Will you promise me that you'll tell her? I promise.
It's something I don't ever want anyone else to hear.
What's wrong, Broots? Fix it.
Well, there's nothing to fix.
She unplugged it.
That's all there is.
My butt that's all there is.
Make it talk.
- I-I can't.
- My mother's dying secret.
The one thing she wanted me to know is not only lost electronically, but somewhere inside Jarod's head and he can't remember a thing.
Hmm.
Raines.
Raines must have erased that portion of Jarod's brain.
- You mean, like, hypnotized him or brainwashed him or something? - Very likely.
I don't know how Raines locked that memory in Genius Boy's mind but I'm gonna free it up if I have to crack his head open and carve it out with a melon scooper.
- How are we gonna do that? - We track Raines.
I'll bet my ass he knows where Ethan is.
We find Ethan, we find Jarod.
Move in, Sam! [Chattering.]
Relax, son.
Everything's going to be just fine.
I feel so alone.
But you're not, Ethan.
I'm here for you.
You know that, don't you? After you earn the trust of the Triumvirate with the bombing you'll come to live at the Centre where we'll do great things together.
I'll be calling you soon.
[Door Opens, Closes.]
Ethan? It's okay.
I'm not here to hurt you.
No, you're the one who killed my parents.
I didn't kill your parents.
[Voices Whispering.]
How do you know I can trust him? I can't trust anyone.
Not you, not him.
Ethan, I'm your friend.
- [Chain Rattling.]
- Ethan, run! Run! [Gunshot.]
[Miss Parker.]
Jarod! Damn it! Jarod! Your ninth life just ran out.
[Miss Parker.]
You look surprised to be here.
Well, I'm surprised I'm still alive.
Dead men tell no tales.
I'm assuming since we're here, this has nothing to do with Centre business? No.
It's about me.
I need your help.
Tell me what I need to know, and you're out of here.
And I should believe you're going to let me just walk away? Hmm? Watch this, Jarod.
- [Young Jarod.]
Hello, Mrs.
Parker.
- Thank you for coming.
Close the door.
Come here, Jarod.
There's something I wanna tell you.
You're going to have a brother.
[Jarod.]
I don't remember this.
Sydney, I don't remember this.
[Sydney.]
It's in your mind somewhere.
Then let's get it out.
Three, two, one.
Go back into your memory, Jarod to when you were a young boy.
Are you there now? Go back to a moment when Raines came to take you from the Centre.
And where did he take you? [Jarod.]
A house in the woods.
- Can you see the house now? - Yes.
Go inside.
- Are you there? - Yes.
I smell wood.
Wood paneling.
Cedar.
Very good, Jarod.
I walk through a sliding door.
- She's there.
- Who is? Catherine Parker.
She's still alive.
Hi, Jarod.
She didn't die in the elevator.
- She seems troubled.
- By what? She wants me to tell her daughter something very important.
What? It's very important that she know the truth about Ethan.
Ethan? That's what he told me his name would be.
I don't understand.
How would he know? - How do you? - I call it my inner sense.
Inner sense? For most, it's the hairs on the back of your neck or that nervous feeling in your stomach.
[Jarod, Mrs.
Parker Together.]
For me, it's voices I hear all around me usually warning me of things that are about to happen.
Like souls talking to you? Something like that.
I've been blessed with this gift, Jarod.
And though she doesn't know it, so has my daughter.
Though neither of us quite like Ethan.
Ijust pray his gift isn't abused by the wrong people.
[Young Jarod.]
Why are you telling me this? Because Ethan is also your brother.
Unknown to me, while I was sedated for a minor surgery not long ago my husband used your father's seed to impregnate me.
- My father's genetics.
- Yes.
Mr.
Parker wanted to create a child with this inner sense who could also be special like you are to use, no doubt, as they have used you.
Mr.
Raines showed me proof of what had been done and that Mr.
Parker is planning to kill me when the baby is born.
[Young Jarod.]
Mr.
Raines scares me.
Why do you trust him? I trusted him because- because he trusted me.
That and it was the only way for me to give this child a chance at a real life.
But now- Something's wrong.
The voices are telling me I won't leave this house alive.
[Young Jarod.]
That's why you brought me here.
You're special, Jarod, and I know you won't forget.
I want you to tell my daughter to complete my plan.
[Young Jarod.]
Plan? She'll understand one day.
Just tell her to trust her inner sense.
It will guide her actions.
Jarod, your soul is a trusting one, just like your mother's.
- You know my mother? - Yes.
And one day, you'll be back together again.
And Ethan will help you find her.
[Jarod, Mrs.
Parker Together.]
Trust your inner sense.
[Typing.]
- Mr.
Lyle.
- Any news from Cox about Zoe? According to his last message, he's ready.
But this is why I'm here.
Our people at Triumvirate Headquarters thought you might find that quite interesting.
Raines has been a busy boy.
[Broots.]
I intercepted a communique between Raines and the Triumvirate and I'm probably not the only one who did.
- Spit it out, Broots.
- It's about 7677.
And that thing, that Mirage- That "thing" is my brother.
Whoa.
Okay.
In a nutshell, there's some project called 7677.
And if it goes off as planned, Mr.
Raines is gonna be in charge of the Centre.
A Raines coup.
Thank you.
Hello? Why do I feel Iike you know what Broots just told me? - Raines has been working towards this his whole sordid career.
- Using Ethan.
He took him as a child, placed him in a surrogate family with people who would allow Raines to control his emotions.
In other words, screwed him up so badly, he would only trust Raines.
So Raines could have total control over him turn Ethan into his private assassin.
And when Raines killed his surrogate parents he severed all emotional ties to anything connected with the outside world.
[Jarod.]
Well, that is what Raines does best- take people away from their families.
What are you going to do? [Sighs.]
I don't know.
Do what your mother would have wanted.
Finish her work.
Work she died trying to accomplish.
My mother may still be alive, Jarod.
What if she's not? You can stop Raines.
I don't know! Ow! Trust your inner sense, Miss Parker.
I do.
Now I'm going to find my- our brother.
Have I ever told you how truly inspired this Holy Roller gag of yours has been? What are you talking about? Oh, come on.
You're about as born-again as I am.
But, hey, after you botched things so badly last year this religion thing saved your ass.
There's no shame in that.
Of course the way the Triumvirate's been touting you lately, who needs divine intervention? - You're making no sense.
- Oh, I am.
Just as much as this communique that I intercepted from the Triumvirate does.
You've gotten pretty tight with our bosses in Africa.
Your power play.
Ringin' a bell? How did you get this? If you can find God, I can sure as hell find that.
And to think all this time, I thought Bobby Bowman was your only special project on the outside.
I guess you never heard of progress.
What I'm about to propose is all about progress.
- What do you want? - I want to run the Centre with you.
The 7677 bombing goes down Mirage- or is it Ethan- comes into the Centre just like you promised the Triumvirate and it all can happen because I decide not to tell Mr.
Parker that you stole his son.
Yeah.
That you stole his prizes Project Mirage.
Now, if I read that communique correctly it's about time for you to activate Ethan and finish 7677.
What do you say, partner? [Ringing.]
[Raines.]
This is your final call.
After this, it's up to you.
Now, walk three blocks to the bus station.
Open locker number 9 and you'll find the final instructions for the bombing.
[Voices Whispering.]
We couldn't stop him now even if we wanted to.
Happy? - [Door Opens.]
- Damn happy.
- You son of a- - Hey, hey.
Is that any way to talk to your new partner? Whoops.
I mean, new boss? [Man.]
We have a clean trace on the call.
We'll monitor Ethan until he finishes 7677, and then we'll bring him in.
- No screw-ups.
- Lock him up down in SL 25 with the rats.
We've had too many years and too much success for things to end this way.
Who said it's ending for me? # [Man Singing.]
# [Singing Along.]
- # [Continues.]
- Excuse me? Hi.
Anything I can do to help? As a matter offact, there is.
# [Continues.]
[Bells Tolling.]
- Hi.
- Hi.
- How are you feeling? - Better.
We have so much we have to catch up on.
I'm going to find Mom and we're all going to be together like one big family.
And what about Ethan? Dad told me everything.
He's not crazy not like you thought he was.
Our brother, he's gifted.
He's special.
Don't let them destroy Ethan like they did our family.
I won't.
I promise.
Sweet dreams.
Why the glum looks? Well, I recovered more of the forest house archives.
- And? - Sit down, Parker.
[Raines.]
I can see the head, Catherine.
[Groaning.]
- It's a- - [Mrs.
Parker.]
Boy.
[Raines.]
You're right.
It is a boy.
Oh! Hello, Ethan.
Hello.
I'm your mother.
I have such big plans foryou.
- Why didn't you want me to see this? - There's more, I'm afraid.
After my work was through, I wanted to raise you and your brother and sister like a real family.
But I'm not gonna be able to do that, little man.
I just realized I'm not going to be able to seeyou grow up.
But you have a brother and sister that will find you and protect you.
You tell them to finish my work to finish my plan.
I love you.
[Crying.]
- Um, I don't think you need to see- - No.
I need to know.
I'm sorry.
I'm just following orders.
[Mrs.
Parker.]
You really had me convinced that you had changed that you cared about this baby.
There's no other way, Catherine.
[Gunshot.]
Raines just executed her.
[Baby Crying.]
- Have her cremated.
- Yes, Doctor.
I'm your mommy now.
Raines executed my mother.
He won't take my brother too.
Syd, talk to her.
There's nothing left to say.
[Major Charles.]
You found Ethan's computer? At the warehouse where he picked up the bomb components.
I reconstructed the hard drive and was able to break down the bomb schematic.
But even better, I found out where the bombing is going down.
- D.
C.
Underground.
- The subway's not his target.
It's his delivery system.
Train 7677's route ends at Freedom Station.
Directly above that is the National Hotel.
The exact place where hundreds of foreign dignitaries are staying for a peace conference.
So much for peace.
I broke down the password on a well-hidden encryption file.
Ethan's programmed the bomb's timer on this laptop too.
The train is leaving the station in exactly one hour from now.
- It's just enough time to stop this and save Ethan.
- Come on.
- [Ringing.]
- [Electronic Voice.]
You have a video phone call.
I'm sorry to call so late, Jarod, but I thought for sure you'd be interested in saving the life of a close friend.
[Groans.]
Ouch! - Zoe! - Jarod! - Lyle, let her go! - That's exactly what I wanna do.
But Mr.
Cox actually wants to exploit the safety and well-being of your girlfriend to his advantage.
All right.
What do you want? To propose a quid pro quo.
Don't, Jarod! I don't know why these people want you but they will kill you, I know that! [Mr.
Cox.]
If you want Zoe to live you'll surrender yourself to us tonight at Rosing's Farm Highway 12, outside Blue Cove in exactly one hour.
Lyle! Damn it! One hour from now.
That's exactly when Ethan will be on that subway train.
[Rats Squealing.]
From the bottom of my heart, Miss Parker- From the bottom of my heart, Miss Parker- My first memory of you was in the Centre lobby.
You were smoking a cigarette.
I was six or seven, and you knelt down took a drag and blew smoke in my face.
And here you are still blowin' smoke.
For what it's worth, Miss Parker- I can never have my mother back but I can damn well save my brother.
You tell me everything you know about 7677 and I consider letting you live another day.
I'm the last chance saloon here, Raines.
subway train departing from Beacon Station in a little over one hour from now.
Then what? When it pulls into Freedom Station the subway and everything above it will blow up.
It's your brother who will plant the bomb and guide the subway.
- Our Father, who art in heaven- - Not so fast.
Before she died, my mother said something about her "unfinished work".
.
about her "plan.
" What did she mean by that? - Then you never found it either? - Found what? Word has it your mother left a D.
S.
A.
explaining exactly what her plan was.
But it was the one piece of incriminating evidence I never found or destroyed.
You find it, you find her plan.
You gotta know something more about it.
It's about what everything's about, Miss Parker.
It's about the Centre, all the lies.
Just remember whatever answers your mother may have left behind there is still one person alive who does know the whole truth.
- Who? - [Gunshot.]
[Sighs.]
Daddy? It's not right for my little girl to have blood like that on her hands.
Was it the blood you were worried about or the truth? Jarod should be here in 20 minutes.
Take your positions.
Be ready.
[Mr.
Lyle.]
And you're sure he'll come? Oh, he'll come.
Zoe, we couldn't have done this without you.
- Go to hell.
- All's fair in love and war.
You know, it's too bad you're not Asian.
But maybe when all this is over, we can find a place for you in our renewal wing.
- Why can't you just leave Jarod alone? - Because he belongs to us.
[Screams.]
[Coughing.]
- It's not Jarod! - It's Major Charles.
[Cell Phone Ringing.]
- Dad? - It's me- Zoe.
- Then you're all right? - Yeah, everything's okay on this end, Jarod.
Though I am pretty damn curious about who Cox and Lyle are.
- I am so sorry that you got involved with this.
- Be careful, Jarod.
I will.
Ethan? - Stay away! - I'm not going to hurt you.
- [Voices Whispering.]
- [Grunting.]
- They say not to trust you.
- No, they don't.
- Not all of them.
- I wish I didn't have to hear them! It's your inner sense, Ethan.
It's what makes you special.
- Who are you? - I'm your brother.
- She told me about you.
- She? Of course.
One of the voices.
She's the one you must listen to, Ethan.
- Who is she? - Your mother.
You never got to know her.
They never allowed you to know her.
But she is your mother.
She's your guide, Ethan.
Listen to her voice.
It's your inner sense.
- Mr.
Raines is my guide.
- No, he took your gifts and he used them against you.
He taught you to fear those voices instead oflearning how to embrace them.
He used you, Ethan.
He's still using you.
Don't let him use your gift for destruction.
- I have to follow his word.
- If you do, then innocent people will die.
That's not you, Ethan.
That's not who you are.
Just listen to her voice, Ethan.
Focus on her voice.
Trust him, Son.
Jarod is the one.
Listen to her.
# Cree craw toad's foot # [Together.]
# Geese walk barefoot # - # Cree craw toad's foot, geese walk barefoot # - Brother? Yes.
# Cree craw toad's foot, geese walk barefoot # You can break free of the hold he has over you.
Just listen to her voice.
You have a family now, a real family.
We'll always be there.
Now tell me, where is the bomb? You can't stop the train.
The bomb can't be defused.
I was on three bomb squads and two army demolition units.
I can defuse it.
The bomb's on the undercarriage.
There's no stopping it or the train.
Then we're gonna have to send the train somewhere else.
Where's Freedom Station? - It's on the track veering right.
- Where's the track veering left go? It's to an abandoned maintenance yard.
They closed it years ago.
- Well, hang on.
- Look, it's no use.
I programmed it to automatically take the track to the right.
- Did I tell you I was a rocket scientist too? - 3,000 yards.
- 2,900.
- Come on! - I got it.
- The train has an auto brake that engages in 40 seconds.
- The bomb goes off 20 seconds after that.
- Come on! Get out of here! Freeze it, please! - Miss Parker, listen to me.
There is a bomb on board.
- I know! - We have less than 60 seconds.
- Then defuse it! I can't! It's underneath the train! - Then stop the train! - It's too late! If we are lucky, this train will slow down enough for us to jump off.
But I can't stop the explosion.
This is your brother, Miss Parker.
Our brother.
It could be a beginning.
Don't make it an end! [Mrs.
Parker's Voice.]
I'm your mother.
I love you.
You sound just like her.
[Jarod.]
It's your mother's voice he can hear, Miss Parker.
Maybe you can hear it too.
Trust that voice.
Miss Parker? The auto brake has engaged.
We have less than 20 seconds.
- [Groans.]
- What's the matter with him? Side effects of Raines's work.
Now what's it gonna be, Miss Parker? Help me save him.
Help me save our family.
It's your choice.
Come on.
Put your arm around me.
Go! - [Miss Parker.]
Now what? - [Jarod.]
We jump! Now! [Car Alarms Blaring.]
Enough! We don't want him dead.
[Tires Screeching.]
Nice to meet you, Jarod.
I'm Zoe.
- [Jarod.]
I want to stay with you.
- [Zoe.]
I know.
But you can't stay, can you? I can see it in your eyes.
[Jarod.]
Edna Raines knows things about your mother, Miss Parker.
I need to talk to you about your mother and Mirage.
It could be a matter of life and death.
[Sydney.]
Edna Raines is dead.
She knew all the secrets, especially about the Mirage Project.
[Miss Parker.]
Jarod's e-mail said to keep digging.
It's your mother's grave.
Miss Parker, your mother- she's not here.
Then where the hell is she? Oh, come on.
Everybody's been on at least one vacation.
I swear, Zoe, I've never been on vacation.
Not even, uh, Mount Rushmore? - The Alamo? - Mm-mmm.
What about Niagara Falls? I definitely would have remembered that.
Wait, I did eat at a "Stookey's" off of I-65 once.
Does that count? "Stuckey's.
" Only if you bought the pecan log.
- What's a pecan log? - Oh, you really have never had a vacation, have you? Who needs a vacation when I have you? You swear to me you're in total remission? Yeah.
I probably pissed off a few H.
M.
O.
's, but what the hell? - Zoe- - Hey.
You're not going all mushy on me, are you? - [Ringing.]
- [Electronic Voice.]
You have a video phone call.
That's my video phone.
- Um, I'll be right back.
- Okay.
[Ringing Continues.]
- Hello, Son.
- Oh, my God! Dad! I've been searching for you for over a year.
Where have you been? I know.
The boy and I had to go underground for a while.
We kept searching for you too, but with no luck until an anonymous tip came my way.
I was able to unscramble your password, which got me into you here.
- Then you're both okay? - Thank God the boy and I are both well.
- The boy? - He's sort of like my brother.
I'll- I'll explain it to you sometime.
Dad, this is Zoe.
- Zoe, this is my dad.
- Jarod's been pretty damn worried about you, sir.
He's cute.
What happened to you? When can I see you? We have to be careful.
I don't trust the security of this line so I'll make it quick.
Jarod, I found Emily.
I found your sister.
What? How? Where is she? She's a reporter at the Philadelphia Examiner.
For security's sake I've left vital information about her where abouts on your secured e-mail.
She told me that recently, she was very close to finding you.
She cried when I told her I knew how to reach you.
I think you should go to her.
- Will you bring her back to me, Jarod? - Yes! - Yes, of course I will.
- Good luck, Son.
Keep me posted.
My- I found my dad.
Um- My- I-We've been looking for my sister for so long and now I found her, and I can, uh- Um-What about our trip? It can wait.
We'll have time.
And if I have any say in the matter, lots of it.
You're not gettin' all mushy on me, are you? Go find your sister.
[Man.]
Somebody call 911! [Woman.]
She's in the alley! - What happened? - A reporter was attacked.
- They say she was thrown out of that window.
- A reporter? An Emily something.
Emily? Emily! Emily? Emily? - Please help me.
- That's what I'm here to do.
I'm going to help you.
I'm Jarod.
I'm your brother.
- Jarod.
- Stay with me.
Stay with me.
- [Gasps, Coughs.]
- Emily? Emily? Somebody call an ambulance! [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.
- [Jarod.]
Life's a gift.
- You a doctor? - I am today.
- Pupils are unresponsive.
Respiration is shallow at 40.
- Pulse is weak and thready.

Your actions may have saved her life.
Are you a doctor? No.
[Jarod.]
I'm with the F.
B.
I.
- The victim is someone we've had our eye on for sometime now.
- Why? Let's just say that a few of her journalistic choices have struck a nerve in D.
C.
The victim's office is in here.
Name's Detective Brookins.
Call me Stan.
Agent Jarod Curtis.
Tell me what you know, the whole story.
Well, the victim came to the office early this morning.
So early, it was the night shift janitor that probably saved her life by walking in.
Anyway, from what I can tell, the woman was ambushed here then thrown out this window two stories to the pavement.
- Any description? - White male, 35-ish, average build, dark suit.
Got the sketch artist workin' on it now.
I want all of her files boxed and sealed and sent to your precinct.
And I'm also gonna need an office for a few days.
[Miss Parker.]
Well, it's about time you got back, Lyle.
So, what's the flavor of the day, little brother? Mail-order mamas from Malaysia? Or cannibal quiche from the Kalahari? - If you're here to talk with our father, he's gone.
- Well, then find him.
[Chuckles.]
Pounding boilermakers is hardly the breakfast of champions.
This isn't about you.
I'm sorry.
Okay, now I know you're sloshed.
What's going on, Parker? [Sighs.]
It's- It's about our mother.
She's gone.
- Our mother's been dead a long time.
- No.
I mean, she's not there.
I mean, her- She's not there? What do you mean she's not there, Parker? Parker? You wouldn't understand anyway.
- But I wanna know.
- Bet you do.
[Electronic Female Voice.]
Message voice box 04.
Record.
- [Beeps.]
- It's me.
I've got a bad feeling Miss Parker knows about Catherine's empty grave.
[Sydney.]
You believe someone stole your mother's body? Except for this scotch-induced earthquake rattling between my ears I'm not sure exactly what to believe anymore.
Let's face it, Sydney.
Catherine Parker's body being gone fits in with all the other bizarre happenings around here.
The reappearance of Edna Raines who, after 30 years, everyone thought was dead.
And who now really is dead, thanks to the bald butcher she called "Hubby.
" The murder of that harmless clerk Leonard down in SL 26 because he just happened to see the wrong memo.
And now, Catherine Parker's empty grave.
That's a lot of strange coincidences.
No.
Not coincidence.
Mirage.
Mirage? You mean what Edna Raines told you before she died? What was on both of those memos, the one I found on Lyle's desk and the one that killed that clerk.
Well, oddities, yes but status quo here at the Centre.
I never thought I'd hear you say "Murder is business as usual," Syd.
All I'm saying is, at times it is best to let some things go.
My mother's grave is empty, Sydney.
Maybe, just maybe, she had otherwishes that you didn't know about.
For her burial, I mean.
People sometimes make choices that are difficult to explain.
No.
This is one big fish I'm reeling in.
Broots, our best evidence- We follow the body.
In this case, my mother's.
We start with the autopsy records.
Parker? Why won't you let go of this? Because something inside me is telling me to do this.
And I'm listening.
Her condition is only fair, Agent Curtis.
- So please minimize your time with her.
- I will.
Thank you.
Em? It's your brother Jarod.
I was too late this morning.
I'm sorry.
But I'll never be late again.
I promise you.
[Lyle.]
How goes the world tour? Indeference to Winston Churchill or whoever the hell said it "The sun never sets on the Centre.
" And I'm making sure it never sets on the Parkers either.
- [Elevator Bell Dings.]
- Glad to hear it.
Since when is Raines hosting Triumvirate personnel? He'll be a blip on our radar as long as everything goes well with Mirage.
Unfortunately, we've got company there.
I've all but confirmed that Sis is on that same track.
- Ah, damn.
- Oh, it's nothing.
She's way behind the curve.
I'll make sure she stays there.
I don't want her knowing for her own good.
Hell, if she knew the truth, she'd only wish she didn't.
- Okay.
- [Crunch.]
- God! What'd I just step in? - I don't know.
- But if you hurry, you can still catch it.
- Ew! [Sydney.]
I can't believe you actually found Catherine Parker's autopsy files, Broots.
Well, I haven't found it yet.
But, according to Buzzie the only way to download a visual archive in the Sublevel is to tap directly into the Sublevel's mainframe terminals.
- Who the hell is Buzzie? - My pal down in Communications.
You know the old guy with the hearing aids? He's always griping about the constant ringing in his ears.
- I've got that problem myself.
- Get this.
You know the rumor that J.
F.
K.
was kept alive as a vegetable somewhere? Buzzie claims it was right here in SL 18.
Yeah, right next door to the alien corpses Nixon showed Jackie Gleason.
- That was here too? - [Sydney.]
Hey! This is Room 12.
This is it.
[Broots.]
Wow.
This is the room where they did your mother's autopsy.
- This shouldn't take long.
- [Zipper Unzipping.]
Sydney? - Parker, you okay? - Fine, Syd.
- I got it.
- [Raines.]
This begins the visual data archive to be known as number 566773.
The autopsy of Catherine Elaine Parker.
Date and time to follow.
Dr.
William Raines, M.
E.
Versatile guy, that Raines.
Beats 'em, bursts them, slices and dices.
[Raines.]
Initial findings indicate a single gunshot wound into the cranial region as cause of death.
Angle and force of the head wound strongly indicate the gunshot was self-inflicted.
- [Drill Whirring.]
- Let's just skip to the end, Broots.
Oh, God.
We've heard all these lies before.
I just need to see where the body goes.
Box the body for transport per the family wishes.
On a personal note, I would simply like to go on record to express my heartfelt remorse and to say that this is and will always be a tragic death in the annals of the Centre the likes of which I hope never to encounter again.
So, what now? We do a little exploratory surgery of our own see just how remorseful Dr.
Death really is.
[Man.]
I'm as sorry as I can be about the attack on Emily.
I wish all my tenants were like her.
I sort of connected with her right off- her lookin' for her family me not ever knowing my father and mother.
I'm sorry.
She was so close to changing all that for herself.
- What do you mean? - Well, she was hot on the trail of her brother.
Said she was, like, this close to finding him.
She'd tear up everytime she talked about it.
When was the last time that you saw my- uh, the victim? Um, must have been a couple of nights ago.
To tell you the truth, she seemed a little tense.
Said something about being, uh, close to a big discovery.
The brother that she was looking for? I-I don't think so.
This was something disturbing to her.
It wasn't a happy discovery.
Did you find something? I'm not sure.
Uh, thank you for your time but I'd like to look around for a little bit.
Sure.
Hey, you saved me a trip.
I was about to go into town and tell the police about this guy that was hanging around here.
It-It was the same guy from the police sketch in the evening paper.
I-I can't believe they left out the most important part of the description.
What's that? The fact that- Well, the guy was missing a thumb.
- [Women Laughing.]
- [Lyle.]
I've never even met you.
Who said anything about breakfast? Mr.
Lyle? Something tells me you haven't read the morning's paper.
You try to kill with kindness, and this is what happens.
Put a team together.
We're goin' back to Philly A.
S.
A.
P.
Right.
Allow me.
I'm not going to Sublevel 18.
Oh.
But you should.
It's a regular "Freaks-R-Us" down there.
You know the history.
J.
F.
K.
.
, dead Martians.
The room where you did my mother's autopsy.
It's gonna be a bitch gettin' that tank up and down the stairs.
It's common knowledge I performed your mother's autopsy.
But is it common knowledge that my mother's body isn't in her grave? What are you talking about? What the hell did you do with her body, you ghoul? What any responsible medical examiner would have done- honor the wishes of the deceased.
If you have a problem with that, take it up with her because this discussion is over.
Miss Parker, you told him about your mother's empty grave? He's gonna- He could- He could- He could lead us right to the answer.
[Broots.]
You told him on purpose.
That fish I said I'd be reeling in- I just baited the hook.
Now we troll.
- You with us, Syd? - [Elevator Bell Dings.]
[Woman.]
I'm sorry, Agent Curtis but I cannot in good conscience allow the victim to be transferred.
How would your conscience feel when they put you in jail for violation of a federal order? - That order is worthless in my eyes.
- I have seen her charts.
Her edema levels are back to normal, as well as hervital signs.
- The answer's still no.
- Whoever tried to kill her knows he failed and he will be back to finish the job, I guarantee you that.
Releasing her to the next of kin would be my only option here.
And correct me if I'm wrong but so far, none have turned up.
Until now.
I'm Emily's father and I think you should give the agent here what he wants.
I'll prep her for immediate release.
- It's so good to see you.
- How is she? - She's going to be okay.
- Great.
[Tires Screeching.]
Check over there.
Willie, stairs.
You, follow me.
- How many were there? - Four.
Go! Go! Damn! Where did she go? - Released.
She just went downstairs.
- Take the stairs.
That ambulance over there is mine.
I know a place that we can be safe.
You drive.
Good way to get yourself killed, pal.
Out of my way.
- See this woman come this way anywhere? - Nope.
Never seen her.
[Siren Wailing.]
Damn! I wanna thank you, Sister Mary, for everything you've done for us.
After all you've done for our parish, Jarod - you just stay as long as you want.
- [Bells Tolling.]
And we'll take very good care of Emily.
Nothing.
- No luck, huh? - It's like he doesn't exist.
Well, whoever this guy is, Emily's been tracking him for a while.
Here, let me give you a hand with the notes.
"Misplaced personality disorder.
" "Man with no name.
" "Talks to voices.
" "Enigma.
" Maybe it's a story she's been working on.
Or a lifelong mystery she's been trying to solve.
She thought this guy might have been you.
She's been searching, just like me.
Just like we all have.
Why would the Centre want to murder her? And how does he fit in? [Broots.]
Boy, you put the worm on and he took it hook, line and sinker.
Man.
But I never pegged Raines for the rustic type.
In the middle of nowhere, you can't hear anyone scream.
I need to get to that fire.
[Miss Parker.]
Anything, Broots? Looks like a Raines time capsule.
Everything from old mortgage papers to his kid's kindergarten artwork.
Move over, Monet.
Looks like "Ethan.
" His son? I've tried not to fire too many synapses remembering things about the Raines family.
You think Raines used to live here? Well, we used to visit his house occasionally but it was on the other side of town.
Maybe he used this place as some kind of personal storage depot.
Yeah.
Well, no offense against his kid's artwork but this is starting to feel like a dead-end trip down memory lane.
Miss Parker? I think another street just opened up.
Huh.
St.
Christopher medal.
Miss Parker, look.
[Emily Moans.]
Emily? Emily? Hi.
It's me, Em.
It's your brother.
- Jarod? - Dad's here too.
We're all together now.
[Mutters.]
Take your time.
Take your time.
What is it you wanna tell us? I found this picture in your research files.
You thought he was me, didn't you? Who is he? Ethan.
- Ethan? - He hears the voices.
Talks- He talks to the voices.
I read that in your notebook.
What voices, Emily? Hey, I think she should rest.
Come on.
Okay.
NuGenesis.
NuGenesis? My God.
The Centre Fertility Clinic? I have no fond memories of that place.
Here.
"AA8585.
" Is that a file number? - From NuGenesis? - Does that have anything to do with this man Ethan? Follow NuGenesis.
Follow him.
Follow him.
Emily? Emily? You know, if you consider yourself any kind of friend of hers you'll destroy those disks.
- And you will destroy it now! - But I can't! I can't, Sydney.
I don't really have a choice in the matter, do I? I mean, this is Miss Parker's life.
- This is her past.
She has every right to see it.
- See what? Do what you must, Broots.
But I won't be a part of opening this Pandora's box.
[Miss Parker.]
What Pandora's box? [Broots.]
I was able to reconstruct one tiny piece of the disks we found at Raines's forest house.
- The same place we were today? - Yeah, but- Just watch.
[Raines.]
I hope you're feeling comfortable here, Catherine after all you've been through.
I never thought I'd see the day when I'd be thanking you for your kindness, Dr.
Raines.
But thank you.
- My mother was there.
- Yeah.
But what's important is the date.
Look.
Look at the date code on the D.
S.
A.
Your mother was shot and killed at the Centre in April.
- This says June.
There must be a mis- - No.
It's physically and technically impossible to alter the dates on the Centre D.
S.
A.
surveillance system.
Sydney didn't want me to show you this.
I don't know why.
But it's a lock.
Your mother did not die in that elevator, Miss Parker.
Are- Are you saying my mother is still alive? Your mother alive? Does this make any sense? - Do you think that was hers? - I don't remember it, but anything's possible.
Keep decoding the forest house archives.
And don't tell anyone.
- Not even Sydney? - Especially Sydney.
He's done everything except handcuff me to a freight train to keep me from digging into this.
There must be someone you can trust.
Where's Angelo? Looks like the same kind of insanity I grew up with.
Are you sure this is the address Emily gave us for Ethan? Positive.
He's been videotaping himself for years.
Is there anything on NuGenesis AA8585? Nope.
But there's enough material here to write a dissertation on bomb-making.
But this guy's taken it a step further.
He's designing his own bomb.
Huh.
Look.
There's an unmailed letter to his parents, the Clausens.
According to this time code, this video was made less than one hour ago.
There's your little bomb-maker.
Let's see what he's been up to.
Just leave me alone! - Who's he talking to? - I know I shouldn't yell.
I won't be bad anymore.
According to Emily's notes there were signs of erratic behavior, of multiple personalities.
He must be wrestling with some kind of demons inside.
Emily said he could hear the voices, whatever that means.
[Phone Ringing.]
Yeah? Hey, hey, listen.
I'm in trouble.
I need to talk to you.
Yes, I'm-I'm almost ready with 7677.
I-I just need a few more components.
But I'm tellin' you, I need to talk.
You swear that after the explosion the pain will be gone? They're promising him his inner torture will end if he pulls off some kind of bombing for them.
- The Centre.
- Who else? Okay, I'll do it.
First, I wanna see my mom and dad.
Why won't you let me see my mom and dad? It's been so long.
I-I-I wrote them a letter.
Why can't I send it? They do love me! I know.
I know you do too.
[Line Disconnects, Dial Tone.]
[Grunts.]
- What? Are you sure? - What's he doing? - He's talking to the voices.
- He's gonna- He's gonna hurt my mom and dad? He can't hurt my mom and dad.
[Major Charles.]
Wherever he's going, he's not coming back and he's taking his bomb with him.
Come on.
Let's go.
It's not my fault that Jarod found his sister before the Sweeper team did.
It's your fault she was still alive.
Well, what did you teach me about water under the bridge? If it gets deep enough, it'll drown you.
What about Mirage? - We're still searching.
- Oh, that's perfect.
My daughter is searching for a ghost my son is searching for a monster.
Last one alive wins, hmm? [Angelo.]
Secrets and lies.
Secrets and lies.
When it comes to the Centre, Angelo, secrets and lies are like oxygen.
Lies.
Angelo, I need you to empath this for me.
It may have belonged to my mother.
Your mother wore this.
Her journey not over.
My mother is still out there? Illusions are real.
What's that mean? Mirages are real.
What's "Mirage," Angelo? Mirages are real.
Tell me what that means! Miss Parker.
He- He's on your side.
Angelo sorry.
He doesn't know the answers.
But Sydney knows.
Sydney knows all the secrets and lies.
[Sobbing.]
Oh, please.
Please don't be dead.
Please.
[Sobbing.]
Don't leave me.
- Please don't leave.
Please.
- [Voices Whispering.]
You did this.
No, I swear I didn't do this.
You hurt them! Why? Why? Ethan, I didn't hurt them.
I swear to you.
I did not kill them.
- [Voices Whispering.]
- Somebody hurt them.
Somebody killed my parents.
Please, let me help you.
- Help? - My sister Emily - she followed you because she wanted to help you.
- [Sirens Wailing.]
- That's all I want to do.
- There's no help for me.
- [Tires Screeching.]
- Not from you.
There's only one person who can help me now.
Ethan! Ethan! - Freeze! - I'm F.
B.
I.
It's okay.
It's okay.
F.
B.
I.
- There were reports of shots fired.
- Upstairs.
Two bodies.
I was too late.
You knew my mother was alive, but you didn't tell me? Yes.
Then give me one good reason not to blow your Flemish brains out.
I promised her I wouldn't tell you.
[Sighs.]
Well, as you know I gave your mother her last psychiatric session less than an hour before her supposed murder.
- Supposed suicide in the elevator.
- "Supposed.
" What does that mean, Sydney? Catherine? Catherine, please relax.
Sydney, I just found out that someone I love is planning to kill me.
- Who? - I can't tell you.
A friend.
But it's forcing me to- to make a very difficult decision.
I'm going to stage my death in hopes of saving my life.
- I don't understand.
- And I don't have time to explain it all.
But you know these people, what they're capable of.
I try not to imagine.
Their latest is a project called Mirage and they've made me a key player.
My only way out is dying, by their hands or my own.
[Sydney.]
This is dangerous talk.
These are dangerous times, Sydney.
I'll do what I have to to survive.
And then I'll come back and rescue Jarod and Angelo and my little girl.
What about your little girl? She's my gift from God and I don't know how to save her without causing her this pain.
Promise me, Sydney.
Swear to me that you'll protect her that you'll never tell her about this.
- You owe me.
- I know I do.
Whatever happens, no matter how badly she wants to know I don't want my baby girl to ever have to face the true tragedy of her family's secret.
- Promise me.
- I promise.
Godspeed, Catherine.
An hour later, the gunshot rang out.
You know the rest.
I never saw Catherine again.
- Do you know what it is? - What? Mirage.
The tragedy of my family's secret? I'm afraid I don't.
That is the truth.
Ethan's parents were murdered as a message to him.
Finish the 7677 bombing, or else.
Sounds like a message from the Centre to me.
- That has the Centre fingerprints all over it.
- This too.
- You hacked into the NuGenesis mainframe? - Uh-huh.
And you won't believe what I found in file number AA8585.
[Jarod.]
AA8585 was a shipment of cryogenically frozen sperm samples.
They were airlifted to the Centre decades ago.
Someone wanted to get pregnant pretty badly.
Yeah, but they weren't just anyone's samples, Jarod.
They were mine.
- How much does Jarod know? - [Lyle.]
We're not sure.
But Major Charles's seminal records have been compromised at NuGenesis.
[Lyle.]
And there's more.
Jarod was spotted at the parents' house.
- Before or after they were killed? - After, thank God.
- And Mirage? - [Sighs.]
He's still out there.
There's gotta be some way to get to Jarod before he beats us to him.
There is one.
We give him something more important to go after.
Something named Zoe.
[Mr.
Parker.]
Good thinking, Mr.
Cox.
[Major Charles.]
It only gets stranger and stranger.
- More on your records at NuGenesis? - Yeah.
For the past 25 years, comparative genetic test follow-ups have been conducted using my D.
N.
A.
The question is, who or what are they comparing it to? It doesn't say.
But the results were sent to a private residence in Blue Cove, Delaware.
Come on.
[Engine Starts.]
Okay, let's go.
You all right? Something feels weird.
- We're talkin' Mr.
Raines.
It's supposed to be weird.
- No.
This is weirder than him.
- What are we lookin' for? - The truth.
I'll check over here.
No.
It's not over there.
How do you know, Son? I just know.
It's- It's like a strange deja vu.
- What are you mumbling about? - I decoded some of the archives from the forest house.
And, well, if a picture's worth more than a thousand words I think I've just uncovered a thesaurus.
This is about six months after your mother supposedly died.
- Well? - He'll be here in a few minutes.
- You sure you wanna do this? - [Sighs.]
I have to.
- What? What did she have to do? - Well, wait.
Just watch that door.
Like you've seen this place before? It's like I've been here before.
[Gasps.]
Oh, my God.
Jarod out of the Centre? Impossible.
How could that be? Secrets and lies.
- Hi, Jarod.
- Hello, Mrs.
Parker.
Thank you for coming.
Close the door.
Gynecological instruments? What is all this stuff? Tools of the trade.
- A birthing table? - The question is, whose? Come here, Jarod.
There's something I wanna tell you.
My mother was pregnant? You're going to have a brother.
[Major Charles.]
This is just too weird.
Birthing tables, incubators genetic follow-ups of my semen.
Are you thinking what I'm thinking? I have a brother.
I have a brother? Jarod and I share a brother? It must be Ethan.
- But where is he? - [Ethan.]
My parents are gone.
Mom is dead.
Dad is dead.
[Raines.]
I'm your father now.
[Sydney.]
Details are sketchy, Jarod.
I'm just now trying to piece a lot of this together myself.
This feeling is so strong, Sydney, that I've been to that forest house before.
But my mind wants to block it out.
I have a feeling too, Jarod, and it says you're lying.
- Miss Parker.
- I'm glad to hear your mind hasn't blocked me out yet.
Tell him, Syd.
Like he doesn't know.
Well, we saw the D.
S.
A.
, and you were definitely there.
- Then why don't I remember it? - [Miss Parker.]
You're the genius.
- You tell us.
- If I could I would, Miss Parker.
You know that.
I've never held back when it comes to your mother.
[Miss Parker.]
You were on the D.
S.
A.
, Jarod.
She talked to you.
- She told you secrets.
- I don't remember.
- Did she tell you why she faked her own death? - I don't know.
Or how in the hell that baby she was carrying is your brother? - Look, I don't know.
- Or where she was going, or where the baby went, or- I don't know! [Sydney.]
It is entirely possible that your subconscious mind has blocked out those recollections, Jarod either by itself or with the help of someone else.
So those memories could still be in Jarod's head? Every waking moment of our lives is stored somewhere in our minds.
[Jarod.]
Well, for what it's worth, Miss Parker, I believe that- that our brother is a man named Ethan.
Now, I don't know where he is but somehow he's involved with a project called 7677.
You figure out 7677.
.
you find baby brother.
[Ethan.]
I'm almost ready with 7677.
I just need a few more components.
But I'm telling you, I need to talk.
Okay.
[Grunts.]
Still nothin' on this guy, Agent? - Still nothing.
- [Man.]
You can't drag me out of my house like that! I got a whole grilled cheese goin' right there on the stove.
Hey, where do you want him, Detective? - Come on! - [Brookins.]
Ask, and ye shall receive.
That's the local munitions guy you asked us to haul in.
Name's Jed Sidel.
Small-time middle man, all-around weasel.
Well, what a coincidence.
Weasel season has just opened.
Jed.
- Agent Curtis, F.
B.
I.
- Hello.
On behalf of the Bureau, I would like to say congratulations.
- Hmm? - Well, you're moving up in the world.
- I am? - Aiding and abetting in the making ofbombs.
Helping to murder innocent citizens.
I mean, this is hardly fencing stolen TVs.
You're hittin' the big leagues.
Your parents must bevery proud of you.
- You got the wrong guy.
- Really? Well, he doesn't seem to think so.
I don't know who that is.
- That wasn't my question.
- What-What-What was the question? Why are you helping your friend here make bombs? - No, no.
Ethan ain't no friend of mine.
- Ethan? I thought you didn't know him.
Do you have any idea what this guy's gonna do to me if I spill to you? I mean, he talks to people that aren't even there.
He's crazy.
Unlike the lovable lifers in federal prison.
- Hmm? - I hear shower time's a real scream,Jed.
Explosives.
Yes.
He was looking for explosives.
Like C-4, Semtex, uh, digital fuses.
And all I did, and this is all I did was call a guy on the phone, and I- and I set up a meeting.
- That's it.
- Where and when? Mm-hmm.
At the warehouse at midnight.
Broad Street and Franklin.
[Engine Starts.]
There was only about one minute of stuff left on the D.
S.
A.
But what's there is really telling.
Dr.
Raines, leave us alone, please? Catherine, I don't think that would be a good idea.
I think it would be a great idea.
Jarod, there's something I have to tell you that you can never forget.
Okay.
I may not live much longer, and if I don't there's something very important I want you to tell my daughter.
Will you promise me that you'll tell her? I promise.
It's something I don't ever want anyone else to hear.
What's wrong, Broots? Fix it.
Well, there's nothing to fix.
She unplugged it.
That's all there is.
My butt that's all there is.
Make it talk.
- I-I can't.
- My mother's dying secret.
The one thing she wanted me to know is not only lost electronically, but somewhere inside Jarod's head and he can't remember a thing.
Hmm.
Raines.
Raines must have erased that portion of Jarod's brain.
- You mean, like, hypnotized him or brainwashed him or something? - Very likely.
I don't know how Raines locked that memory in Genius Boy's mind but I'm gonna free it up if I have to crack his head open and carve it out with a melon scooper.
- How are we gonna do that? - We track Raines.
I'll bet my ass he knows where Ethan is.
We find Ethan, we find Jarod.
Move in, Sam! [Chattering.]
Relax, son.
Everything's going to be just fine.
I feel so alone.
But you're not, Ethan.
I'm here for you.
You know that, don't you? After you earn the trust of the Triumvirate with the bombing you'll come to live at the Centre where we'll do great things together.
I'll be calling you soon.
[Door Opens, Closes.]
Ethan? It's okay.
I'm not here to hurt you.
No, you're the one who killed my parents.
I didn't kill your parents.
[Voices Whispering.]
How do you know I can trust him? I can't trust anyone.
Not you, not him.
Ethan, I'm your friend.
- [Chain Rattling.]
- Ethan, run! Run! [Gunshot.]
[Miss Parker.]
Jarod! Damn it! Jarod! Your ninth life just ran out.
[Miss Parker.]
You look surprised to be here.
Well, I'm surprised I'm still alive.
Dead men tell no tales.
I'm assuming since we're here, this has nothing to do with Centre business? No.
It's about me.
I need your help.
Tell me what I need to know, and you're out of here.
And I should believe you're going to let me just walk away? Hmm? Watch this, Jarod.
- [Young Jarod.]
Hello, Mrs.
Parker.
- Thank you for coming.
Close the door.
Come here, Jarod.
There's something I wanna tell you.
You're going to have a brother.
[Jarod.]
I don't remember this.
Sydney, I don't remember this.
[Sydney.]
It's in your mind somewhere.
Then let's get it out.
Three, two, one.
Go back into your memory, Jarod to when you were a young boy.
Are you there now? Go back to a moment when Raines came to take you from the Centre.
And where did he take you? [Jarod.]
A house in the woods.
- Can you see the house now? - Yes.
Go inside.
- Are you there? - Yes.
I smell wood.
Wood paneling.
Cedar.
Very good, Jarod.
I walk through a sliding door.
- She's there.
- Who is? Catherine Parker.
She's still alive.
Hi, Jarod.
She didn't die in the elevator.
- She seems troubled.
- By what? She wants me to tell her daughter something very important.
What? It's very important that she know the truth about Ethan.
Ethan? That's what he told me his name would be.
I don't understand.
How would he know? - How do you? - I call it my inner sense.
Inner sense? For most, it's the hairs on the back of your neck or that nervous feeling in your stomach.
[Jarod, Mrs.
Parker Together.]
For me, it's voices I hear all around me usually warning me of things that are about to happen.
Like souls talking to you? Something like that.
I've been blessed with this gift, Jarod.
And though she doesn't know it, so has my daughter.
Though neither of us quite like Ethan.
Ijust pray his gift isn't abused by the wrong people.
[Young Jarod.]
Why are you telling me this? Because Ethan is also your brother.
Unknown to me, while I was sedated for a minor surgery not long ago my husband used your father's seed to impregnate me.
- My father's genetics.
- Yes.
Mr.
Parker wanted to create a child with this inner sense who could also be special like you are to use, no doubt, as they have used you.
Mr.
Raines showed me proof of what had been done and that Mr.
Parker is planning to kill me when the baby is born.
[Young Jarod.]
Mr.
Raines scares me.
Why do you trust him? I trusted him because- because he trusted me.
That and it was the only way for me to give this child a chance at a real life.
But now- Something's wrong.
The voices are telling me I won't leave this house alive.
[Young Jarod.]
That's why you brought me here.
You're special, Jarod, and I know you won't forget.
I want you to tell my daughter to complete my plan.
[Young Jarod.]
Plan? She'll understand one day.
Just tell her to trust her inner sense.
It will guide her actions.
Jarod, your soul is a trusting one, just like your mother's.
- You know my mother? - Yes.
And one day, you'll be back together again.
And Ethan will help you find her.
[Jarod, Mrs.
Parker Together.]
Trust your inner sense.
[Typing.]
- Mr.
Lyle.
- Any news from Cox about Zoe? According to his last message, he's ready.
But this is why I'm here.
Our people at Triumvirate Headquarters thought you might find that quite interesting.
Raines has been a busy boy.
[Broots.]
I intercepted a communique between Raines and the Triumvirate and I'm probably not the only one who did.
- Spit it out, Broots.
- It's about 7677.
And that thing, that Mirage- That "thing" is my brother.
Whoa.
Okay.
In a nutshell, there's some project called 7677.
And if it goes off as planned, Mr.
Raines is gonna be in charge of the Centre.
A Raines coup.
Thank you.
Hello? Why do I feel Iike you know what Broots just told me? - Raines has been working towards this his whole sordid career.
- Using Ethan.
He took him as a child, placed him in a surrogate family with people who would allow Raines to control his emotions.
In other words, screwed him up so badly, he would only trust Raines.
So Raines could have total control over him turn Ethan into his private assassin.
And when Raines killed his surrogate parents he severed all emotional ties to anything connected with the outside world.
[Jarod.]
Well, that is what Raines does best- take people away from their families.
What are you going to do? [Sighs.]
I don't know.
Do what your mother would have wanted.
Finish her work.
Work she died trying to accomplish.
My mother may still be alive, Jarod.
What if she's not? You can stop Raines.
I don't know! Ow! Trust your inner sense, Miss Parker.
I do.
Now I'm going to find my- our brother.
Have I ever told you how truly inspired this Holy Roller gag of yours has been? What are you talking about? Oh, come on.
You're about as born-again as I am.
But, hey, after you botched things so badly last year this religion thing saved your ass.
There's no shame in that.
Of course the way the Triumvirate's been touting you lately, who needs divine intervention? - You're making no sense.
- Oh, I am.
Just as much as this communique that I intercepted from the Triumvirate does.
You've gotten pretty tight with our bosses in Africa.
Your power play.
Ringin' a bell? How did you get this? If you can find God, I can sure as hell find that.
And to think all this time, I thought Bobby Bowman was your only special project on the outside.
I guess you never heard of progress.
What I'm about to propose is all about progress.
- What do you want? - I want to run the Centre with you.
The 7677 bombing goes down Mirage- or is it Ethan- comes into the Centre just like you promised the Triumvirate and it all can happen because I decide not to tell Mr.
Parker that you stole his son.
Yeah.
That you stole his prizes Project Mirage.
Now, if I read that communique correctly it's about time for you to activate Ethan and finish 7677.
What do you say, partner? [Ringing.]
[Raines.]
This is your final call.
After this, it's up to you.
Now, walk three blocks to the bus station.
Open locker number 9 and you'll find the final instructions for the bombing.
[Voices Whispering.]
We couldn't stop him now even if we wanted to.
Happy? - [Door Opens.]
- Damn happy.
- You son of a- - Hey, hey.
Is that any way to talk to your new partner? Whoops.
I mean, new boss? [Man.]
We have a clean trace on the call.
We'll monitor Ethan until he finishes 7677, and then we'll bring him in.
- No screw-ups.
- Lock him up down in SL 25 with the rats.
We've had too many years and too much success for things to end this way.
Who said it's ending for me? # [Man Singing.]
# [Singing Along.]
- # [Continues.]
- Excuse me? Hi.
Anything I can do to help? As a matter offact, there is.
# [Continues.]
[Bells Tolling.]
- Hi.
- Hi.
- How are you feeling? - Better.
We have so much we have to catch up on.
I'm going to find Mom and we're all going to be together like one big family.
And what about Ethan? Dad told me everything.
He's not crazy not like you thought he was.
Our brother, he's gifted.
He's special.
Don't let them destroy Ethan like they did our family.
I won't.
I promise.
Sweet dreams.
Why the glum looks? Well, I recovered more of the forest house archives.
- And? - Sit down, Parker.
[Raines.]
I can see the head, Catherine.
[Groaning.]
- It's a- - [Mrs.
Parker.]
Boy.
[Raines.]
You're right.
It is a boy.
Oh! Hello, Ethan.
Hello.
I'm your mother.
I have such big plans foryou.
- Why didn't you want me to see this? - There's more, I'm afraid.
After my work was through, I wanted to raise you and your brother and sister like a real family.
But I'm not gonna be able to do that, little man.
I just realized I'm not going to be able to seeyou grow up.
But you have a brother and sister that will find you and protect you.
You tell them to finish my work to finish my plan.
I love you.
[Crying.]
- Um, I don't think you need to see- - No.
I need to know.
I'm sorry.
I'm just following orders.
[Mrs.
Parker.]
You really had me convinced that you had changed that you cared about this baby.
There's no other way, Catherine.
[Gunshot.]
Raines just executed her.
[Baby Crying.]
- Have her cremated.
- Yes, Doctor.
I'm your mommy now.
Raines executed my mother.
He won't take my brother too.
Syd, talk to her.
There's nothing left to say.
[Major Charles.]
You found Ethan's computer? At the warehouse where he picked up the bomb components.
I reconstructed the hard drive and was able to break down the bomb schematic.
But even better, I found out where the bombing is going down.
- D.
C.
Underground.
- The subway's not his target.
It's his delivery system.
Train 7677's route ends at Freedom Station.
Directly above that is the National Hotel.
The exact place where hundreds of foreign dignitaries are staying for a peace conference.
So much for peace.
I broke down the password on a well-hidden encryption file.
Ethan's programmed the bomb's timer on this laptop too.
The train is leaving the station in exactly one hour from now.
- It's just enough time to stop this and save Ethan.
- Come on.
- [Ringing.]
- [Electronic Voice.]
You have a video phone call.
I'm sorry to call so late, Jarod, but I thought for sure you'd be interested in saving the life of a close friend.
[Groans.]
Ouch! - Zoe! - Jarod! - Lyle, let her go! - That's exactly what I wanna do.
But Mr.
Cox actually wants to exploit the safety and well-being of your girlfriend to his advantage.
All right.
What do you want? To propose a quid pro quo.
Don't, Jarod! I don't know why these people want you but they will kill you, I know that! [Mr.
Cox.]
If you want Zoe to live you'll surrender yourself to us tonight at Rosing's Farm Highway 12, outside Blue Cove in exactly one hour.
Lyle! Damn it! One hour from now.
That's exactly when Ethan will be on that subway train.
[Rats Squealing.]
From the bottom of my heart, Miss Parker- From the bottom of my heart, Miss Parker- My first memory of you was in the Centre lobby.
You were smoking a cigarette.
I was six or seven, and you knelt down took a drag and blew smoke in my face.
And here you are still blowin' smoke.
For what it's worth, Miss Parker- I can never have my mother back but I can damn well save my brother.
You tell me everything you know about 7677 and I consider letting you live another day.
I'm the last chance saloon here, Raines.
subway train departing from Beacon Station in a little over one hour from now.
Then what? When it pulls into Freedom Station the subway and everything above it will blow up.
It's your brother who will plant the bomb and guide the subway.
- Our Father, who art in heaven- - Not so fast.
Before she died, my mother said something about her "unfinished work".
.
about her "plan.
" What did she mean by that? - Then you never found it either? - Found what? Word has it your mother left a D.
S.
A.
explaining exactly what her plan was.
But it was the one piece of incriminating evidence I never found or destroyed.
You find it, you find her plan.
You gotta know something more about it.
It's about what everything's about, Miss Parker.
It's about the Centre, all the lies.
Just remember whatever answers your mother may have left behind there is still one person alive who does know the whole truth.
- Who? - [Gunshot.]
[Sighs.]
Daddy? It's not right for my little girl to have blood like that on her hands.
Was it the blood you were worried about or the truth? Jarod should be here in 20 minutes.
Take your positions.
Be ready.
[Mr.
Lyle.]
And you're sure he'll come? Oh, he'll come.
Zoe, we couldn't have done this without you.
- Go to hell.
- All's fair in love and war.
You know, it's too bad you're not Asian.
But maybe when all this is over, we can find a place for you in our renewal wing.
- Why can't you just leave Jarod alone? - Because he belongs to us.
[Screams.]
[Coughing.]
- It's not Jarod! - It's Major Charles.
[Cell Phone Ringing.]
- Dad? - It's me- Zoe.
- Then you're all right? - Yeah, everything's okay on this end, Jarod.
Though I am pretty damn curious about who Cox and Lyle are.
- I am so sorry that you got involved with this.
- Be careful, Jarod.
I will.
Ethan? - Stay away! - I'm not going to hurt you.
- [Voices Whispering.]
- [Grunting.]
- They say not to trust you.
- No, they don't.
- Not all of them.
- I wish I didn't have to hear them! It's your inner sense, Ethan.
It's what makes you special.
- Who are you? - I'm your brother.
- She told me about you.
- She? Of course.
One of the voices.
She's the one you must listen to, Ethan.
- Who is she? - Your mother.
You never got to know her.
They never allowed you to know her.
But she is your mother.
She's your guide, Ethan.
Listen to her voice.
It's your inner sense.
- Mr.
Raines is my guide.
- No, he took your gifts and he used them against you.
He taught you to fear those voices instead oflearning how to embrace them.
He used you, Ethan.
He's still using you.
Don't let him use your gift for destruction.
- I have to follow his word.
- If you do, then innocent people will die.
That's not you, Ethan.
That's not who you are.
Just listen to her voice, Ethan.
Focus on her voice.
Trust him, Son.
Jarod is the one.
Listen to her.
# Cree craw toad's foot # [Together.]
# Geese walk barefoot # - # Cree craw toad's foot, geese walk barefoot # - Brother? Yes.
# Cree craw toad's foot, geese walk barefoot # You can break free of the hold he has over you.
Just listen to her voice.
You have a family now, a real family.
We'll always be there.
Now tell me, where is the bomb? You can't stop the train.
The bomb can't be defused.
I was on three bomb squads and two army demolition units.
I can defuse it.
The bomb's on the undercarriage.
There's no stopping it or the train.
Then we're gonna have to send the train somewhere else.
Where's Freedom Station? - It's on the track veering right.
- Where's the track veering left go? It's to an abandoned maintenance yard.
They closed it years ago.
- Well, hang on.
- Look, it's no use.
I programmed it to automatically take the track to the right.
- Did I tell you I was a rocket scientist too? - 3,000 yards.
- 2,900.
- Come on! - I got it.
- The train has an auto brake that engages in 40 seconds.
- The bomb goes off 20 seconds after that.
- Come on! Get out of here! Freeze it, please! - Miss Parker, listen to me.
There is a bomb on board.
- I know! - We have less than 60 seconds.
- Then defuse it! I can't! It's underneath the train! - Then stop the train! - It's too late! If we are lucky, this train will slow down enough for us to jump off.
But I can't stop the explosion.
This is your brother, Miss Parker.
Our brother.
It could be a beginning.
Don't make it an end! [Mrs.
Parker's Voice.]
I'm your mother.
I love you.
You sound just like her.
[Jarod.]
It's your mother's voice he can hear, Miss Parker.
Maybe you can hear it too.
Trust that voice.
Miss Parker? The auto brake has engaged.
We have less than 20 seconds.
- [Groans.]
- What's the matter with him? Side effects of Raines's work.
Now what's it gonna be, Miss Parker? Help me save him.
Help me save our family.
It's your choice.
Come on.
Put your arm around me.
Go! - [Miss Parker.]
Now what? - [Jarod.]
We jump! Now! [Car Alarms Blaring.]
