| Gator Man | No, Gator Heaven has the finest gator wrestling in all of South Florida. In fact we produce more wrestling champions than any other roadside attraction. |
| Miss Parker | That’s Jarod? |
| Gator Man | Can you believe he mastered gator wrestling in less than a week? |
| Miss Parker | A regular Tarzan. |
| Gator Man | Gave ’em all nicknames too. Called the one with the sharpest teeth Miss Parker. Been gone about a month. |
| Miss Parker | Did he leave anything behind, like a red notebook? |
| Gator Man | He left something better. Said this was for you. |
| Miss Parker | Beautiful. |
| Gator Man | Genuine native art, handcrafted by the tribe. |
| Miss Parker | In Taiwan? |
| Gator Man | Eastern tribe. |
| Miss Parker | Lovely Jarod. Another game? |
| Gator Man | Said if you wanted it you have to sign for it. |
| Miss Parker | Thank you. |
| Gator Man | Nah. Jarod said the pen was for you too. |

|
| Barker | There it is. |
| Jarod | I see him. |
| Barker | Now come on bubba. We’ve got to relocate this prehistoric handbag before the hurricane evac. It’s coming in pretty fast too. |
| Jarod | Still a few hours off. It’s hard to believe a day this beautiful is going to turn into a storm. Well if you’re in a hurry I could wrestle it for you. |
| Barker | What? The gator? |
| Jarod | Yeah. |
| Barker | You’ve lost your mind bubba. |
| Jarod | No I used to wrestle for the Seminoles |
| Barker | Florida State? |
| Jarod | No, the tribe. Come here girl. |
| Barker | Whoa, wait a minute, wait a minute. How do you know that’s a she? |
| Willie | Miss Parker, you’re to come with me. |

|
| Miss Parker | Daddy the next time that you want to see me you don’t have to send the welcome wagon. |
| Raines | You’re here at my invitation, not your father’s. You’ve been busy. |
| Miss Parker | I don’t follow you, sir. |
| Raines | I follow you. What was in the safety deposit box? |
| Miss Parker | Nothing. |
| Raines | Let me rephrase Miss Parker. I know it was Mommy’s box. What did you find in it? |
| Miss Parker | I was looking for answers. |
| Raines | About what? |
| Miss Parker | About how she died. |
| Mr Parker | Your mother shot herself. |
| Miss Parker | Daddy. |
| Mr Parker | Leave us Mr. Raines. Don’t I get a hug? Been too long. So, how are things at the Summer House? Are the leaf coming back? |
| Miss Parker | Slowly. You know how Spring can be up there. |
| Mr Parker | Stubborn. Your mother always got impatient. |
| Miss Parker | I don’t remember that about her. |
| Mr Parker | Hmm mmm |
| Miss Parker | But I, I do remember this. |
| Mr Parker | You look like her. Watching you, in some ways she never left. |
| Miss Parker | Daddy I want to know what happened to my mother. |
| Mr Parker | I’m disappointed in you. |
| Miss Parker | You’re disappointed in me? |
| Mr Parker | Don’t tell me you believe this crap. |
| Miss Parker | But I remember that Thanksgiving, the fight that you had. And a few months later she was dead. |
| Mr Parker | Don’t let your emotions run away with you. I taught you better. |
| Miss Parker | Just tell me what happened. |
| Mr Parker | I killed her… at least that’s what I torture myself believing. When someone you love commits suicide you search for answers to the mystery you don’t understand. That’s what you’re doing now. |
| Miss Parker | I miss her. |
| Mr Parker | You were young. There’s no way you could know what she was going through. It was a sad time. I don’t know why she left us. Don’t you think I miss her too? |
| Miss Parker | Of course. |
| Mr Parker | You can believe your father or Jarod – who’s it going to be? |
| Miss Parker | Daddy, I want a new assignment. Jarod is Sydney’s mess and Mr. Raines’. Please put me back in Corporate. |
| Mr Parker | We have our arrangement. |
| Miss Parker | I know. |
| Mr Parker | You were a quiet, uncertain little girl. And now you’re this… presence. It’s time for my treasure to shine! I know what you’re capable of. |
| Miss Parker | Do you? |
| Mr Parker | I do. And our deal stands. |
Tech Room - The Centre - Blue Cove - Delaware |
|
| Miss Parker | Florida. I was there yesterday. |
| Broots | I know. You just weren’t south enough. |
| Sydney | While you were away Broots and I revisited the old notebook from the Atlanta site, and we found some clues. Global coordinates written in it that lead us to… |
| Broots | Hurricane Cassandra. Top wind speed of 150 miles per hour. |
| Sydney | When Jarod was in Atlanta Cassandra was just a badly formed tropical depression. He must have predicted its course. |
| Miss Parker | Jarod put himself in the path of a hurricane? |
| Broots | Well someone from Marine Patrol Bahia Grande is using the Centre’s access code to hack into the Defence Department weather satellite. It’s the same one I’m using. Tech Room, Broots… Oh, yes sir. Ah, right here. Hold on. It’s for you. |
| Miss Parker | Yes?… Of course… Very clear. |
| Sydney | Who was that? |
| Miss Parker | Personal. How fast can we get down there? |
| Broots | Ah, a couple of hours, but they’re already starting to evacuate people from South Florida. |
| Miss Parker | Then I’ll go with Sam. |
| Sydney | Miss Parker, it isn’t safe. |
| Miss Parker | If Jarod’s really on that island I have him right where we want him. |
| Sydney | Who was on that call? |
| Broots | Mr. Raines. |
Bahia Grande Island - The Bahia Bay Hotel |
|
| Radio | …are frantically boarding up windows and packing cars this afternoon. Cassandra is expected in four to five hours, around seven pm this evening. Islanders are reminded that… |
| Pat | I’m gonna be out, out front, but don’t worry Simone we’ll get you to the doctor real soon. |
| Jarod | Hey! Battening down the hatches? |
| Pat | I tell you what, if I crack or but is gonna sell this place and move to Oklahoma after this. |
| Jarod | For what? Tornadoes? |
| Pat | Okay… California! |
| Jarod | Earthquakes? |
| Pat | Somewhere not here. |
| Jarod | How’s she doing? |
| Pat | Fever’s not breaking. |
| Jarod | You’d better hurry up. |
| Pat | Jarod are you sure you should have pulled Simone out of that facility? |
| Jarod | They were going to ship her back to Haiti. |
| Pat | I can’t believe Bartlett would do that, just let her folks die in a storm! |
| Jarod | Well people will do all kinds of things for money. I’ll see that he gets paid. |
| Pat | Jarod, forget about him. Come go with us. I uh… |
| Jarod | What is it? |
| Pat | I just, I’m not very good around sick people. I watched my old man have a heart attack. I knew he needed CPR or something but I froze, I just .. .I watched him go. I can’t handle the responsibility. |
| Jarod | The analgesic I gave her should help with her fever. All you need to do is drive her to Miami. The doctors will take over from there. You can do it. I trust you. |
| Pat | If you say so. |
| Simone | Jarod! |
| Jarod | Hi. |
| Simone | Empty. |
| Jarod | No more Candy, doctor’s orders. I’ll get you some more as soon as we see your family in Miami. I promise. See you in a bit. |
Bahia Grande Island - Marine Patrol |
|
| Barker | You wanna help me with this cage? |
| Jarod | I can’t sir. I just got this download from the State Department of Law Enforcement. They suspect that the parents of the Haitian girl were killed around Harrison Marsh. They want evidence gathered before Cassandra washes it away. |
| Barker | Let me see that. Hmm. Why don’t you finish up here and I’ll take care of this. |
| Jarod | I’ll go with you. |
| Barker | No, I can handle it. |

|
|
| Pat | Okay. We’re going to be leaving here in just a few minutes, okay? |
Somewhere on Bahia Grande Island |
|
| Jarod | Boo. |
| Barker | Damn it! You scared the hell out of me! |
| Jarod | I’m sorry. |
| Barker | Hey, hey bubba, what the hell is this? Don’t just stand there, cut me out of this. |
| Jarod | Cut you out? I spent a long time making that thing. |
| Barker | You rigged this net? |
| Jarod | Think of it as a bag. A trash bag. |
| Barker | You cut me out of this now or I’m gonna blow you away. |
| Jarod | Most criminals, they smuggle drugs or stolen cars. |
| Barker | You do it! |
| Jarod | You trade in human life. You smuggle Haitians and then you charge their families in Miami. Once you get them here you raise the price. Now that’s ransom, pure and simple. If they can’t afford to pay well you just let them die in a storm. Kinda like the one that’s coming now. |
| Barker | You got no proof or nothin’! |
| Jarod | I sent it to the State Department of Law Enforcement. Simone’s family, they just wanted to start a new life. But you took that away from them and now that little girl& .she doesn’t have a mom and dad because you locked them out here in a shack to die in a storm. As the shack collapsed around them her parents threw themselves on their daughter! They died trying to save her life! Do you know what it’s like to grow up without parents? |
| Barker | Hey! Hey! Bubba wait! You can’t leave me out here. This hurricane will kill me. |
| Jarod | Oh no it won’t. You’re about three miles north of the damage path. At least I think so… bubba. |
| Barker | HEY!!! Come back Jarod! You can’t leave me here! You’re dead! You’re dead you son of a- Jarod! |
The Bahia Grande Hotel |
|
| Radio | This is the Emergency Broadcast System. Hurricane Cassandra is making five miles per hour along the island’s shore. Winds are at 150 miles per hour. Evacuation to Bahia Grande has been completed. Remaining residents are advised to seek shelter in the centre of a safe, secure structure . . . |
| Pat | I’m sorry Jarod. |
| Jarod | What happened? |
| Pat | I’ve got good news and bad. The bridge is washed away, power’s out, phone lines are down. We’re just going to have to ride out the storm here. |
| Jarod | What’s the good news? |
| Miss Parker | That is the good news. |
The Centre - Blue Cove - Delaware |
|
| Sydney | The pilot had to evacuate. He lost contact with Miss Parker twenty minutes ago. |
| TV | Thank you for making us South Florida’s choice for news. |
| Broots | Feed’s up. |
| TV | Our top story is – who else? – Cassandra, who’s top winds have now been upgraded to 175 miles an hour. Cassandra has veered thirty degrees north-north-east and it looks like Bahia Grande will bear the brunt of Cassandra’s fury. |
| Broots | Cassandra hasn’t met Miss Parker. |
| Sydney | I hope they’re all right. |
The Bahia Grande Hotel |
|
| Miss Parker | After all those dead ends all I needed was a little help from Cassandra. To women. Hell hath no fury. |
| Jarod | That isn’t good for your ulcer. |
| Miss Parker | Neither are you. |
| Jarod | Don’t underestimate the power of Cassandra. Her winds are probably peaking at 175 miles per hour. |
| Miss Parker | This place will hold. |
| Jarod | Just in case it doesn’t, why don’t you tell me who my parents are? Tell me who I am. |
| Miss Parker | Maybe I should send you to every YMCA in the country first, or lock you in the Bates Motel with Sydney and Broots. |
| Jarod | This is about that strip search in Las Vegas isn’t it? Come on. You got me. Why don’t you tell me? |
| Miss Parker | You shouldn’t have wasted your time helping the down trodden. |
| Jarod | I haven’t wasted my freedom. |
| Miss Parker | Jarod you were wrestling an alligator. |
| Jarod | So you got the medical report. |
| Miss Parker | I have what you forgot. |
| Jarod | You didn’t come here just to retrieve me. You want answers. |
| Miss Parker | I have everything I need. Daddy’s going to be thrilled. |
| Jarod | But Daddy doesn’t give you what you want, does he? What did Daddy tell you about your mother’s… suicide? |
| Miss Parker | That’s enough! |
| Jarod | I’ll bet it wasn’t the truth. |
| Miss Parker | Yeah well the truth is you’re a liar! Always have been. You faked that medical report. |
| Jarod | I wouldn’t fake something like that. I didn’t want to have to tell you, but I couldn’t withhold a key to your past. |
| Miss Parker | Nice try. You’re so in control. So ahead of the game aren’t you? Not any more. Now I make the rules. |
| Pat | Hold on. You’re such a good girl . . . |
| Miss Parker | How many merit badges did this get you? |
| Jarod | You don’t think that rescuing children is a good idea? Your mother certainly thought it was. The leading edge just passed. The eye wall should hit in about seventeen minutes. That’s the worst part. |
| Pat | Wake up! Jarod I can’t wake her. |
| Jarod | Let me take a look at her. |
| Miss Parker | Sam can do it. |
| Jarod | Sam is not a doctor. I – I can be. Please! |
| Pat | Simone, sweety, come on. Simone. Talk to me. Come on, Simone. |
| Miss Parker | If he tries anything shoot him in the foot. |
| Jarod | Simone? Simone can you hear me? |
| Flashback | |
| Catherine | No. No. Stop, you’re hurting me. |
| Man’s voice | Come back here! |
| End of flashback | |
| Jarod | She’s dipping in and out of consciousness. I need to get her fever down. The infection is spreading. She needs penicillin. I can get some from the first aid kits at the boathouse. |
| Pat | Across the island? |
| Miss Parker | After the storm while you’re on your way to Blue Cove. I’ll make sure she gets the best specialist. |
| Jarod | There is no time. She could go into septic shock or a coma, I need to get her the penicillin. The eye should be here in a few minutes. That will give us about twenty minutes of calm. |
| Pat | How can you be so sure? |
| Miss Parker | Jarod used to be a weather man in Puerto Rico. |
|
Simone mutters |
|
| Miss Parker | What’s she saying? |
| Jarod | She’s looking for the sky. Her mother told her before she died that she would look after her from the sky, that the sun and the moon would be her eyes. I’m going to the boat house. Are you going to let her die? |
| Miss Parker | Sam, cuff him. I’m going with you. |
| Jarod | Pat, try to keep her temperature under control while I’m gone. I’m counting on you. So is she. |
In Parker's car on Bahia Grande |
|
| Jarod | You’re doing the right thing. |
| Miss Parker | Call me Mother Theresa from now on. |
| Jarod | It doesn’t suit you. |
| Miss Parker | What? |
| Jarod | This façade you put up. You try to act like your father but he’s not who you are. |
| Miss Parker | This is business Jarod not personal, no matter how hard you try and make it that way. |
| Jarod | It’s personal to me. |
| Miss Parker | Then why can’t you leave my mother out of it? |
| Jarod | Because she tried to rescue me from your father. |
| Miss Parker | What now? |
| Jarod | It’s less than a mile. If we move fast we’ll beat the eye. Sure would be a lot easier without these. |
| Miss Parker | You try anything and I’ll put a bullet through your knee. |
| Jarod | I thought it was my foot. |
The Bahia Bay Hotel |
|
| Pat | The fever’s not breaking. Come on kiddo. Work with me. Why are you after Jarod? |
| Sam | Shut up and wash the kid! |
| Pat | I need more ice. |
| Sam | I’ll get it. |
Marine Patrol Station |
|
| Miss Parker | Jarod, what’s taking so long? |
| Jarod | I’ve got it. (He emerges from the room with a first aid kit.) There’s still plenty of time. Simone’s going to be okay. |

| Mr Parker | Have you heard from them? |
| Sydney | No. I’m concerned. |
| Mr Parker | So am I. |
| Sydney | Oh you are? Mr. Raines ordered her into that. |
| Mr Parker | You have a problem with Raines? |
| Sydney | He is out of control. |
| Mr Parker | Raines isn’t. Jarod is. Tormenting my daughter with lies about her mother. |
| Sydney | Lies? |
| Mr Parker | You saw her last. You knew her condition. Her only option was suicide. |
| Sydney | Mrs. Parker, God rest her soul, was manic depressive. Her marriage was falling apart, and of course there was the question of her beating. |
| Mr Parker | Exactly what did she say about that? |
| Sydney | I can’t disclose that. But you know psychiatrists Mr. Parker, we write everything down. |
| Mr Parker | So do I. |
| Sydney | Your wife was my patient. The details of her sessions are privileged. |
| Mr Parker | I have privileges Sydney. |
| Sydney | I’m well aware of that. |
| Mr Parker | Anything else Doctor? |
| Sydney | No. |

| Jarod | That rope was tougher than I thought. It looks like it cost you a molar. |
| Barker | Two. Now shut up! |
| Miss Parker | You never had to clean up one of your messes have you Jarod? You should have met that cop you framed in Miami. What a whiner! |
| Barker | I told you to shut your pie hole! |
| Miss Parker | Listen, Cooper, the Centre will pay you… |
| Barker | Shut up! Shut up! I don’t give a damn about the Centre. Soon as this storm is out of my face we’re taking a little boat ride out to the swamp but I’m the only one coming back. Tonight you two sleep with the manatees. |

|
| Miss Parker | Your crusade for the little guy is backfiring. How does it feel to face the consequences? |
| Jarod | I spent an entire life simulating reality. Consequences, they feel pretty good. |
| Miss Parker | Jarod what did you mean when you said my mother tried to save you? |
| Jarod | She was planning on smuggling me out of the Centre. |
| Miss Parker | You were one of the children she tried to rescue. |
| Jarod | She died before she could get to me or the others. |
| Miss Parker | Others? |
| Jarod | She had a list of seven children. The unlucky ones. |
| Miss Parker | And where did you get this list? |
| Jarod | The medical report wasn’t the only thing in the safety deposit box. |
| Miss Parker | The medical report is real. I remember my parents fighting that night. She went off the deep end. Wouldn’t even wear her wedding ring. It was a bad time for my father. |
| Jarod | How can you still trust him? |
| Miss Parker | I never saw him hit her, ever. I never saw anyone, not that I can remember. |
| Jarod | People repress memories, especially traumatic one unless something helps bring them out like a smell or a sound. I used to sell power memory tapes on late night cable. Perhaps you missed that one. Let me help you. |
| Miss Parker | Thanks for the offer but I can take care of myself. |
Sydney's office - The Centre - Blue Cove - Delaware |
|
| Raines | If you were so worried about her you should have gone with her. |
| Sydney | She only went because you intimidated her. |
| Raines | Miss Parker is doing her job. I’m glad to see someone is. |
| Sydney | What happened to you? |
| Raines | Too many cigarettes. Not enough vacations. |
| Sydney | When you were Doctor Raines you were my colleague. I never detected this obsession. |
| Raines | I don’t have to follow the Hippocratic Oath any more. My only directive is to bring Jarod back. For that to happen, Miss Parker needs focus. |
| Sydney | She has a lot of issues on her mind. She has always been a curious girl. Takes after her mother. |
| Broots | The weather service says the eye has just passed the island. We could, we could… We could be there by morning. |
| Raines | Get a jet. |
| Sydney | Come on Broots. We wouldn’t want any harm to come to Miss Parker. |

|
| Pat | That’s it. A little tangerine, a little key lime. Good for the soul. She’s still burning up. Come on Jarod. |

| Sam | Looking for this? |
Marine Patrol Station |
|
| Barker | Okay, time for a little boat ride. Ladies first. |
| Jarod | Drop it. |
| Barker | Hey hey. A flare gun? |
| Jarod | It’s going to redefine heartburn unless you drop it. |
| Miss Parker | Where’d you get that? |
| Jarod | I snuck it into the first aid kit when you weren’t looking. |
| Miss Parker | You were going to use that on me. |
| Jarod | I still am. |
| Jarod | Try gumming through this. And you. You’re going to have to dislocate a lot more than your thumb to get through that. |
| Miss Parker | Why did you save my life? |
| Jarod | Because I still remember the little girl who gave me my first kiss. |

| Miss Parker | Don’t you people keep a spare key to that cage around here? |
| Barker | Yes we do. It’s in that Miami Heat ashtray on the desk. The trick is getting there. |
| Miss Parker | Look. We both want to catch Jarod right? |
| Barker | Ooo yeah. |
| Miss Parker | So you just flip your cage over a few times. You help me catch him and you won’t just get paid, I’ll make sure that you get a… sweet reward. Put some muscle into it. Yes! |

| Pat | Whoa! Ha ha! |
| Jarod | Thank you. |
| Pat | I should have done that sooner. |
| Jarod | Simone. |
| Simone | Jarod. |
| Jarod | This will hurt just a little bit but I promise you it’s gonna make you feel a whole lot better. |
| Simone | The storm is over? |
| Jarod | Yes. It’s over. |
| Pat | He’s a maniac. A maniac! He tried to teach me a lesson. He thinks he’s some kind of one-man judge and jury. |

| Mr Parker | The status quo remains? |
| Miss Parker | We have our deal but it’s not quite status quo. |
| Raines | How so? |
| Miss Parker | No more surveillance. No more lie detectors. No more games. You second guess my work again, I’ll put a bullet in that pet oxygen tank and they’ll have to clean you up with tweezers. I’ll catch Jarod my way. And once he’s in the Centre I’m gone. That’s the deal. Are we clear? |

| Miss Parker | Yes. Thank you Jarod. |
| Jarod | Did you find your answer? |
| Miss Parker | I think I know who killed my mother but right now I’m more concerned with why she died. |
| Jarod | It was for the children. |
| Miss Parker | For you, Jarod. The way I see it she died trying to save you. |
| Jarod | You’re angry. |
| Miss Parker | I won’t stop chasing you and I won’t chase my past any more. |
| Jarod | What if it chases you? |
| Miss Parker | I’ll ignore it. |
| Jarod | You make the rules. |
| Miss Parker | That’s just the way I like it. |
