Harriet Tashman’s Farm |
|
Jarod | I don’t remember my parents or anything about having a brother. |
Harriet | Well, you were very young when you were taken. We often repress, forget. |
Jarod | How did they come to be with you? |
Harriet | Well, my own parents were killed three weeks before my 11th birthday. I grew up in a convent, content to give my life serving the church as a nun. I had said my vows and was cloistered for years. But it didn’t take. |
Jarod | Was my family tied to the convent? |
Harriet | No, no. There was another girl. Catherine Jamison. We were real rabble-rousers. Gave the Mother Superior hell. One night we snuck out and were crossing this frozen pond. I slipped in. I was drowning. Catherine dove in, dragged me out and then breathed life back into me. She never became a nun, but the spirit that glowed in her was something I’ve been unable to achieve despite years of prayer. Then after she left the convent, she married a man by the name of… |
Jarod | Parker. |
Harriet | Yes. |
Jarod | Catherine Parker. |
Harriet | Did you know her? |
Jarod | Her daughter. What did she have to do with my parents? |
Harriet | Well, in 1969, the year I inherited this farm, Mother Superior called and said Catherine needed help. Catherine showed up and asked me to shelter a man and a woman who had had their two young sons abducted. |
Jarod | Is that when my parents came here? |
Harriet | I knew them as Charles and Margaret. They were afraid. They’d been searching for years and they were on the run. It was safe here. They were wonderful people Jarod, you’d be very proud of them. |
Jarod | Did they ever talk or or ask about me or my brother? |
Harriet | They never talked. I never asked. It was too painful. Especially for your father. It was clear how deeply he missed his sons. |
Jarod | Did they ever say who they thought might’ve taken us? |
Harriet | I think your father was afraid it would affect your mother’s health. |
Jarod | The baby. |
Harriet | She gave birth to a little girl a month later. |
Jarod | I have a sister. |
Harriet | Her name is Emily. |
Jarod | Emily. |
Harriet | There are no pictures. I’m sorry. Years later, I started getting threatening phone calls and letters from Kyle. He must’ve figured out I had some tie to your parents. Of course, I had no idea at the time who he really was. He was desperate. He thought I could help him. It was after the kidnapping that your family vanished. |
Jarod | You’ve been hiding here ever since. |
Harriet | I knew Kyle was in prison, but I aslo knew the depth of his anger, well, his pain. I’d lost contact with Catherine Parker years earlier. I felt alone, and I was afraid. So I went underground. Your parents loved you, Jarod. They loved and they missed you and your brother. |
The Centre |
|
Raines | Do you remember where you first lived when you came to the Centre? |
Kyle | At first, three doors down from the corridor entrance. Later, sublevel |
Raines | What was the Manchester Solution? |
Kyle | The Manchester Solution. I-I don’t remember any solution because the job was blown. I could’ve done it alone. I SIM’ed it correct. The others lost the will, but I didn’t. I decide who lives or dies. I decide who lives or dies. |
Mr Parker | You said after all those years in prison, he’d remember nothing. |
Raines | He can’t remember everything. |
Mr Parker | He remembers too much. Jarod alone is bad enough. |
Miss Parker | I brought him in. Why is he here? |
Mr Parker | I asked him to be. |
Miss Parker | Who in the hell is Kyle anyway? Or should I say what? |
Mr Parker | Kyle is someone of concern to me. You missed Jarod. It was your best chance ,and he’s still out there. I know you’re upset. I should’ve told you that I had brought Mr. Raines in on this. I apologise. But things were moving quickly. Now Mr. Raines and I will handle Kyle. |
Miss Parker | But, Daddy… |
Mr Parker | No, no, no. Trust me. Sydney, do you think Jarod might return to the Centre? |
Sydney | There’s nothing here that Jarod wants. And Jarod always has an objective. Besides, even though we never figured out how he got out our latest security improvements are quite beyond anyone’s capabilities. Even Jarod’s. |
Miss Parker | That’s the first time I have ever heard you doubt Jarod’s abilities. |
Sydney | Let’s just hope they believed it as much as you did. |
Jarod’s Flashback |
|
Young Jarod | Kyle! They’re coming! Kyle! |
Raines | Get him out of here. |
Young Kyle | No! Jarod, help! No, leave me alone. Jarod! Jarod! Jarod, help me! |
The Centre, Biotract 42 |
|
Sydney | You said it was a matter of great importance. |
Miss Parker | I want you to help me get to Kyle. |
Broots | Why? |
Miss Parker | Because he knows something about my mother’s death. What do you want me to do? Beg? |
Sydney | What makes you so certain that Kyle can help you? |
Miss Parker | Because he was Mr. Raines’s pet project. I feel it. Sydney, I feel it. Kyle knows who killed my mother. |
Sydney | Hmm. Look, they’re keeping him in a section I don’t have access to. Also, they’re monitoring him round the clock from the tech room. There’s just no way for anyone to get there undetected. Right? |
Broots | Mmm, well, that’s not entirely true. |
Miss Parker | What do you mean? |
Broots | I mean, I got us into SL 27, didn’t I? I could probably bypass the sensors and at a designated time, loop the camera feed into the monitor system. |
Miss Parker | Well, for how long? |
Broots | Mmm, long enough. |
The Centre- Kyle’s Cell & Tech Room |
|
Sydney | I was looking for… here. |
Broots | Oh… oh that’s hot! That… ohh… I’m sorry. It’s okay. Got it. |
Kyle | You look just like her. |
Miss Parker | That’s what they tell me. You’re the one who decides who lives or dies, right? |
Kyle | You know my work. |
Miss Parker | Did you kill my mother? Did you… kill my mother? |
Kyle | No. |
Miss Parker | Then who? Was it Mr. Raines? |
Raines | What are you doing here? |
Sydney | I was trying to find my way to the, uh, new accounting offices. |
Raines | Why do I think you’re lying? Open the door. Get him out of here. |
Harriet Tashman’s Far, |
|
Jarod | My parents must have loved this place. |
Harriet | I may know someone who can help you find what you’re looking for. |
Jarod | Who? |
Harriet | Solemn vows die hard. I’ll have to go and see them. Alone. |
Jarod | It’s too dangerous. |
Harriet | Catherine didn’t think of herself when she pulled me out of that icy pond. I’ll be… I’ll be gone a few days. |
Jarod | I won’t be here. I’ve spent every moment since I broke out searching, hunting for some clue that might lead me to my past. And right now, the biggest clue to it is back where I started. |
Harriet | I don’t understand. |
Jarod | I’m going to get my brother. I’m going back to the Centre. |
The Centre - Corridors and Ventilation shaft |
|
Jarod | Hello, Sydney. |
Sydney | My God. How’d you get in? |
Jarod | The same way I got out. Why didn’t you tell me about my family? About my brother? |
Sydney | Your brother? |
Jarod | Kyle. At least that’s what I think his name is. Why didn’t you tell me? |
Sydney | I didn’t know. |
Jarod | It’s interesting, that’s what you always say. |
Sydney | I swear it to you Jarod. I did not know. All I know about Kyle is … actually… what Jacob told me. |
Raines | Am I interrupting something? |
Sydney | Oh. Just going over some notes. |
Raines | Of course. Always the conscientious one. You will notify me if Jarod attempts to make contact with you. |
Sydney | What if he contacts you first? Jarod. Jarod. |
Jarod’s Flashback | |
Young Kyle | Jarod. Jarod, help me! |
End of flashback | |
Jarod | Angelo. Angelo. Look at your hair. Cracker Jack. C.J. You’re C.J. You wrote those letters to Kyle in prison. You’ve been in contact with him just like you’ve been in contact with me. |
Doctor | It’s been a long time since we’ve had to perform this kind of a radical procedure, Dr. Raines. And the Tower hasn’t made their approval clear yet. |
Raines | I’ve made the diagnosis. A frontal lobe separation is the only way to bring him peace. Unless you’d like to offer a differing opinion. |
Doctor | I’ll call for anesthesia. He’ll be ready in 10 minutes. |
Kyle | Raines. Raines! Who the hell are you? |
Jarod | I’m Jarod. |
Kyle | Raines said you were dead. |
Jarod | Not hardly. |
Kyle | Why are you helping me? |
Jarod | Because… I’m your brother. |
Kyle | I don’t have any family. |
Jarod | Yes. You do. I’m guessing… our father gave you this. |
Kyle | My God. You kept it. |
Jarod | Not me. He did. Come on. It’s time we all were free. No! No! No! Nobody gets hurt. |
Kyle | Where are we going? |
Jarod | Home. Angelo, come on. Get in. |
Angelo | No. I decide who lives or dies. |
Jarod | Angelo. Angelo, no! |
Raines | How did this happen? |
Broots | Alarm sensors indicate they’re in SL 19. |
Miss Parker | I’m on it! |
Raines | I need to speak to Mr. Parker. |
Jarod | This way. |
Kyle | Where does it lead? |
Jarod | Out. Come on. |
Miss Parker | We’re on 19. Broots, where are they? |
Broots | I’m working on it. I’m working on it. Go down to 20. Miss Parker, I’m getting a signal in the motion detectors. They’re in the ventilation system. Right where you are. |
Miss Parker | Rip that down. Damn it. It’s Cousin Itt. |
Broots | It’s Angelo. |
Jarod | Come on. Trust me. |
The Centre - Kyle's detention cell |
|
Miss Parker | Tell me this wasn’t you, Daddy. I know better. |
Mr Parker | I did not authorise this procedure. I would never do that. |
Miss Parker | Raines was prepared to destroy a Centre investment with no directive from the Tower, to protect himself from what Kyle knows. We’ve both been feeling it for a long time. Raines has had his own agenda long enough. |
Mr Parker | He’ll be dealt with. Just bring me back what belongs to the Centre. |
En Route to the Tashman Farm |
|
Jarod | It’s okay. It’s okay. It’s okay. Here. It’s one of the small joys of freedom. There’s candy underneath the head. Uh… That’s okay. I have plenty more. |
Kyle | We just gonna drive? |
Jarod | I know a place where we can rest. Truth is, the running never stops. |
Kyle | How long you been out? |
Jarod | Almost a year now. There’s so much out here. You have so much catching up to do. You do remember. |
Kyle | That Kyle was a million years ago, Jarod. By the time I broke from the Centre, my head was mush. All I thought about was finding my… finding our parents. And anybody got in my way, I just ran over ’em. Before long, I was running from the law. By the time I figured things out and got to Harriet… I just… I never wanted to hurt her. I just thought she knew where they were. |
Jarod | Something good came out of it. At least we have a place to start. |
The Centre |
|
Broots | Well, that’s the rest of it. He’s gone through everything we have. Jarod’s notebooks, F.B.I. files, everything we’ve got on Kyle. He’s almost done. |
Sydney | Real glutton for punishment, hmm? |
Miss Parker | Desperate times, desperate measures, Sydney. If Sponge Boy here really can become anyone, like all the quacks around here claim then I’m letting him become Kyle and Jarod at the same time. Maybe he’ll tell me where they went. |
Broots | Maybe we should have tethered him. |
Sydney | Aren’t we making one erroneous assumption, Dr. Parker? |
Miss Parker | What’s he gonna blow? A transistor? |
Sydney | You assume that he wants to help you. |
Miss Parker | Why wouldn’t he? |
Sydney | Just let this quack handle it, hmm? Jarod. Jarod. If you’re really in there, Jarod then you’ll know who I am and that I can help you. Also, that I am the only one who can protect you from Mr. Raines. Easy. Easy. |
Angelo | I’m going home. I’m safe here. |
Miss Parker | Kyle kidnapped a woman named Harriet Tashman. He was trying to get her to this place. |
Harriet Tashman’s Farm |
|
Kyle | I can feel them here. |
Jarod | I know. |
Kyle | But they don’t have faces. |
Jarod | ‘Cause we don’t remember. Or the Centre didn’t let us remember. Maybe this will help. |
Kyle | She’s beautiful. They’re still out there, aren’t they? |
Jarod | Yes. Them… and our sister. She was born after we were gone. Dad taught me. We’re going to find them. We wouldn’t have gotten this far unless we were meant to. |

Korkos (phone) | Korkos. |
Raines (phone) | Do you want to know where John Doe is? |
Harriet Tashman’s Farm |
|
Jarod | Harriet. We didn’t know it was you. It’s all right. We all want the same thing. |
Harriet | I have some good news. |
Kyle | Somebody’s coming up the road. |
Jarod | Let’s get out of here. |
Korkos | Get ’em. |
Jarod | Hold on! |
Harriet | Kyle. |
Jarod | Kyle! Hold still. Let me look. |
Kyle | No. Go. My leg is broken. |
Jarod | No. I’m not going to leave you here. |
Kyle | Jarod, go! Find our parents. Don’t tell them what I became. |
Harriet | Come on, Jarod. Come on, Jarod. Come on. |
Korkos | Freeze. FBI. |
Jarod | No! |
Harriet | Come on, Jarod. Jarod. Jarod. Jarod. Jarod, we have to split up. |
Jarod | No. Come on. I can protect you. |
Harriet | No. This is not about me now. Your parents. They’re in Boston. They’ll arrive by taxi at this coffee shop. Here’s the address and meet time. |
Jarod | My parents, have you seen them, are… are they okay? |
Harriet | You’ll be able to find out for yourself. Tomorrow at 3:00. |
Jarod | Harriet, thank you. |
The Centre - Mr Parker's Office |
|
Raines | It was a prudent move with Kyle. Keeps our hands clean. |
Mr Parker | I think we should focus on bringing Jarod in. We have a possible location. |
Raines | Where? When? |
Mr Parker | Three o’clock, today. Take a Sweeper team with you. Bring him back. |
Boston, Massachusetts |
|
Miss Parker | We’re flying blind. |
Sydney | No need, Miss Parker. |
Miss Parker | Well, don’t count on Mr. Raines feeling the same way. |
Sydney | I don’t. Well, let me show you how to take offthe safety, huh? |
Broots | Damn. |
Sydney | I don’t want Jarod hurt. |
Miss Parker | Do my best, Syd. It’s hot and good to go. |
Broots | Damn. |
Miss Parker | You take the east. Got that? You take the west. I’ll float. |
Raines | Hello, Jarod. |
Jarod | You stole me from my parents. You had the FBI kill my brother. And now you’re trying to kill my family. What have I ever done to you? |
Raines | You exist. |
Jarod | No. I’m not gonna let you do to me what you did to my brother. You leave me alone. |
Miss Parker | I thought he gave up smoking. |
The Centre - Mr Parker's Office |
|
Mr Parker (phone) | No. No, no, no. There was no plant. The information on Jarod’s rendezvous with his parents came from a phone tap we’ve had on St. Catherine’s for over 30 years. Yes, Mr. Lyle. Uh, Jarod got away, but… You want me to come in? What for? Let’s talk now. Whatever you say. I’ll be with you shortly. We will. You have my word. Thank… (to his daughter) Ah. Glad you’re here. |
Miss Parker | Really? |
Mr Parker | Of course. We have work to do. |
Miss Parker | We? |
Mr Parker | Now that Raines is in doctors’ hands… or God’s. |
Miss Parker | Skin grafts can be so demanding. |
Mr Parker | Well, at least he’ll be out of your hair. Isn’t that what you wanted? |
Miss Parker | Is that what you wanted? |
Mr Parker | He overstepped. I dealt with him as promised. |
Miss Parker | Then why was he out on that street yesterday? Why did he know right where Jarod would be? |
Mr Parker | Difficult for a man like Raines to end up in hospital while sitting behind his desk, don’t you think? |
Miss Parker | You promised me that we would talk. Did Raines kill Mother? |
Mr Parker | Honey. There are no easy answers. |
Miss Parker | Yes or no. |
Mr Parker | One day you’ll understand why I… |
Miss Parker | Did he kill her? |
Mr Parker | There are still great repercussions from your mother’s death. When I can tell you more, I will. Trust me. Ah, you’re here to escort me? Of course you are. |

|
Broots | A friend of mine in cleanup sent me this. |
Miss Parker | Ballistics report? |
Broots | Uh-huh. What the hell’s going on here? |
Sydney | I don’t follow. |
Broots | Well, the bullet that struck the oxygen tank… They can’t tell which gun it was fired from. |
Sydney (phone) | Hello. This is Sydney. Hello. Hello. Who’s there? |
Jarod (phone) | I may be tired, Sydney… but I’ll never give up. |
Sydney | I don’t expect you to. |
Jarod | I’ll find them again. No one is going to keep me from my family. |
Sydney | I understand. Jarod, you were closer to your family than I ever was. I want you to believe that. |
Jarod | If it’s my faith you want, tell me where they buried my brother. |
Sydney | Buried him? |
Jarod | Kyle. Yes. |
Sydney | Jarod. |
Jarod | Tell me, Sydney. |
Sydney | The van’s gas tank was full. It burned for a very long time. No remains were found. Nothing. Nada. |
Jarod | Hmmh. Which is, yet again,what you leave me with. |
Sydney | Jarod. Hello. Are you still there? |
Jarod | I’m here. |
Sydney | With everything that’s happened they’re more determined than ever to find you. Do you know where you’ll go? |
Jarod | I have a good idea. Catch me if you can. |
