| Miss Parker (on phone) |
I understand the pressure you’re under. I do. Daddy, Daddy! I know how patient you have been with my handling of Jarod, but… No more excuses. (Her father hangs up) I… wasn’t finished. Mmm. (her office's phone rings, she hangs on) What? |
| Igor (voice on phone call) |
I thought you came here to kill me. |
| Frankenstein (voice on phone call) |
That’s a fine story. Who are you? |
| Igor | My name is Igor. Let me go Frankenstein. |
| Frankenstein | I’m gonna…. |
| Miss Parker | Beautiful. Beautiful. |
| Broots | People thing spontaneous combustion is a myth. I don’t. I wouldn’t be caught dead with a book of matches in my pocket. Hey look at this. Huh? |
| Miss Parker | Focus. |
| Sydney | There must be a connection between “Ring a bell?” and that Frankenstein movie. |
| Broots | Do you remember any of the dialogue? |
| Miss Parker | Something like, um. Who are you? My name is Igor. |
| Broots | Hey! Son of Frankenstein. Basil Rathbone goes back to his dad’s castel and meets Igor, Bela Lugosi and they bring the monster back to life. It’s not as cheesy as the James Whale movies, but it’s definitely got cheddar. |
| Miss Parker | Oh, you are a lonely man, aren’t you? |
| Broots | Look! It’s an angel with a broken wing. |
| Sydney | Perhaps Jarod perceives himself as a fallen angel? |
| Miss Parker | Or he simply forgot to put the ‘Caution – fragile’ tags on the box. |
| Broots | Hey, look. ‘Igor knows the secret?’ What secret? |
| Sydney | In the Centre, throw a rock, you’ll hit one. |
| Miss Parker | I’m calling Bjorn and getting shiatsued. Broots, watch Son of Frankenstein angina. See if it leads us to Wonder Boy. With half our Sweepers out there looking for him, we’re gonna find him. And when we do… I’ve got a little spontaneous combustion of my own in mind. |

| Man | That’s him! Get him! I’ll get him out. |
| Man 2 | Come on! Get in! |
| Director | And cut. |
| Applauders | Ho ho! Whooo! Yeah! Yeah baby! Awesome! |
| Director | Beautiful work Jarod. |
| Jarod | That is what I get paid for. |
| Director | All right. |
| Brynne McLain | Jarod. When they said you were the hottest new special effects coordinator in town, I didn’t realise they meant literally. |
| Jarod | Brynne McLain. Thank you for coming. |
| Brynne McLain | Well, it isn’t every day I get invited to a live-action resume. It’s a clever idea. Really sings. Although I am wondering why a special effects coordinator would actually do that fire stunt himself. |
| Jarod | No one pulls a stunt I’ve designed unless I’ve tried it myself. |
| Brynne McLain | Noble. |
| Jarod | Smart. Considering the accident on the Blaster Beer set last week, I figure a effects coordinator with a little ‘smart’ is exactly what you need. |
| Brynne McLain | Producing a Super Sunday campaign fro a new beer could make or break the agency. That accident put it all in jeopardy. |
| Jarod | Which is why I wanted you to see you for yourself how my effects… sing. |
| Brynne McLain | They’d better. With commercial time at a million-three per 30, I need Pavarotti. |

(to o form lying in her bed) Twitch, and I’ll be washing grey matter off the walls. (she sees it's just a mannequin and answers to her phone call) What! |
| Jarod (on phone) |
And how is Igor? |
| Miss Parker | He’d better not snore. |
| Jarod | Oh, it’s not the noise he makes that keeps you up. It’s those sharp toenails. |
| Miss Parker | It’s all funny Jarod. Wanna tell me what it means? |
| Jarod | Ask Igor. |
| Miss Parker | Right. He knows the secret. Can we do this cryptic dance another time? |
| Jarod | Sure, if you tell me the secret of who I am. |
| Miss Parker | You know I can’t help you with that one. |
| Jarod | Well, then I can’t help you with this one. But I have a gut feeling you’ll figure it all out. |
| Miss Parker | What are you looking at? |

| TV Footage | |
| Anchorman | And now we cut to Marianne Bosha live at the scene. |
| Marianne Bosha | Friendship and fire, as tragedy strikes during the filming of a Blaster Beer commercial. Stuntman Dave Dugger was hospitalised with severe burns and head trauma while attempting to drive this Cadillac through that exploding billboard. Although a small explosion was planned witnessed described the one that occurred as ‘massive’. |
| Brynne McLain | Well, our thoughts and prayers at Geary-Hawkins-Leavitt as well as Blaster Brewery, the makers Blaster Beer, are with Dave Dugger and the Dugger family. We all wish Dave a speedy recovery. In the meantime, we’ve launched an internal investigation to make sure we get to the bottom of what caused this tragic accident. |
| Marianne Bosha | Adding irony to pain, the stunt was masterminded by Dugger’s long time effects coordinator and childhood friend Mickey Clausen. |
| Mickey Clausen | Dave and I have done similar stunts a hundred times. I, I, uh… I, I don’t know what went wrong. Ah, Dave’s my best friend. Excuse me. |
| Marianne Bosha | Dave Dugger remains hospitalised in the intensive care unit of Queen of Hope Hospital. his prognosis remains uncertain. |

|
| Connelly | We’ve spent a lot of time and expense on this campaign Jarod. Blaster Brewery is spending millions to launch this new beer. |
| Brynne McLain | That’s why I hired Jarod, Mr Connelly. He will make your beer blast through America’s TV on Super Sunday. |
| Connelly | I like the sound of that. Let me show you what we have in mind. Ah, you remember Ray Ray Slater? He’s my assistant. |
| Ray Slater | I was Mickey Clausen’s assistant. |
| Jarod | We’ve redesigned the stunt so that the blast trajectory blows over the car. It’ll be a safer, yet larger, blast. |
| Brynne McLain | It’ll be a shot to die for. |
| Connelly | Jarod, you’ll have to share your brainstorms with our director. Uh, Ian? Ian. |
| Ian | Yes? |
| Brynne McLain | Ian Tottenham, this is Jarod Lugosi, our new special effects coordinator. |
| Jarod | Hello. |
| Ian | Jarod, we’ve all seen explosions. But we need the audience to feel the explosion, touch it, taste it, cry for it. Excuse me. |
| Jarod | Cry for it? |
| Brynne McLain | He’s pompous and insecure, but he won a Clio for directing my Mighty Stick Glue spot. |
| Jarod | Sounds riveting. |
| Connelly | So, uh, you up to speed on our campaign concept? |
| Jarod | Well, I’ve never actually seen any of the commercials. |
| Connelly | Show him the spots. |
| Brynne McLain | The campaign concept revolves around two young guys… |
| Connelly | Shawn and Joey… |
| Brynne McLain | … Who find tickets to the big game… |
| Connelly | … In a case of Blaster Beer. |
| Brynne McLain | So now they’re driving across America… |
| Connelly | In the Blastermobile…. |
| Brynne McLain | … To make it in time for kick off. |
| Connelly | … But they keep getting lost. |
| Brynne McLain | In our first spot they wind up in Louisiana. |
| Connelly | Until and old Cajun guy tells them to go west. So they blast off… |
| Brynne McLain | … And they end up here. |
| TV Spot | |
| Shawn | Whoa! |
| Joey | Check it out dude. Polar bears, penguins. Santa Claus. Dude, I don’t think this is California. |
| Shawn | No man. This is Green Bay. Let’s book. |
| End of TV Spot | |
| Connelly | Now, doesn’t that beat talking frogs? |
| Jarod | Hmm. So, who are these talking frogs? |
| Connelly | Uh, last year’s big commercial. |
| Brynne McLain | Well, this year it’ll be all Shawn and Joey who, in our last spot finally make it to California. But they…. |
| Connelly | … They’ve used so much Blasterpower you see… |
| Brynne McLain | … They end up overshooting San Diego and wind up through a billboard on a beach in Tijuana. |
| Connelly | Isn’t that great? |
| Jarod | So, let me get this straight. There are people out there who will buy your beer based upon two guys who are not only too ignorant to read a map, but simpleminded enough to drive through and exploding billboard. |
| Connelly | That’s our target market. |
| Brynne McLain | Jarod, we’ve got three days to finish the spot and make our airdate. Can you make it sing? |
| Jarod | Like Pavarotti. |

| Broots | Well, it needs a remote control to do whatever it is it does, and I cant find it. |
| Sydney | I’m sure its whereabouts lie within the clues he’s given us. |
| Miss Parker | Come on Igor. Do something. Catch on fire, ring a bell. Help me. Syd, give me your cell phone. |
| Broots | An audio sensory triggering mechanism. |
| Miss Parker | Just like the spontaneous combustion that blew open that crate in my office. Jarod’s annoying, but he’s clever. Any day now Brootsie. |
| Broots | Don’t want him to take my fingers off. |
| Miss Parker | Give it to me. |
| Igor | My name is Igor. Ring a bell? Igor knows the secret. Igor knows the secret. Igor knows, Igor knows the secret. |
| Miss Parker | That’s it? Another dead end? |
| Igor | You look just like her. You look just like her. |
| Broots | Just, just like who? |
| Sydney | Your mother. Igor knows the secret about your mother. |
| Miss Parker | Cancel clever. Jarod’s just annoying. Broots, I want you searching the mainframe, DSA’s, anything else you can thing of. Sydney, check your files. Any reference to Igor, a name, an anagram, an acronym, whatever. Okay Jarod. You’ve got my attention. |
Ray Slater's office on the Blaster Brewery Set |
|
| Ray Slater | You think we’re going to need stuntmen for the shoe gag? |
| Jarod | Not if we coat their socks with Zell Gel. We can put rubber cement on the shoes. Huh. I thought toys came pre-assembled. |
| Ray Slater | It’s a model kit. Didn’t you ever build models when you were a kid? |
| Jarod | Well, I built the Empire State Building once. And I carved a design fro what later became the AMC Pacer out of a bar of soap. Wasn’t my best work. How long have you been in the program? Your sobriety chip. |
| Ray Slater | I’ve been sober.. five years and some change. |
| Jarod | That’s great. |
| Ray Slater | Dave Dugger sponsored me into the program. |
| Jarod | He was the stuntman that was burned. |
| Ray Slater | Yeah. Dave’s the reason I’m sober today. Hell, he’s the reason I’m alive. |
| Jarod | Sounds like a good friend to have. Is that what I think it is? |
| Ray Slater | She was a beaut before the fire. That’s what happens when you go heavy on the potassium chlorate. |
| Jarod | Is that what Brynne’s investigation concluded? |
| Ray Slater | They know Mickey Clausen screwed up. Case closed. |
| Jarod | I just find it hard to understand how he could screw up so badly. I mean, any effects coordinator knows how reactive PC is. |
| Ray Slater | That’s show biz. You wanna keep the good rep, you gotta produce the flashy effects. |
| Jarod | So you think that Mickey put his best friend in harm’s way to enhance his reputation? |
| Ray Slater | As much as I hate to say it, that’s exactly how I see it. |

| Jarod | Hallie Tosis. |
| Mickey Clausen | Excuse me? |
| Jarod | The creature from Death Breath. Now that is destined to become a classic among special effect aficionados. |
| Mickey Clausen | Do I know you? |
| Jarod | I’m Jarod Lugosi. I was wondering if I might pick your brain for a minute. |
| Mickey Clausen | Yeah, this is a first. Guy who replaces me on a job comes to ask me for some pointers. |
| Jarod | Well, always learn from the best. Hmm. Those your folks? |
| Mickey Clausen | Those are Dave Dugger’s parents. |
| Jarod | You and Dave were really close huh? |
| Mickey Clausen | Yeah, like brothers. His folks practically raised me. But my days in the Dugger family are over. |
| Jarod | Because of the accident? |
| Mickey Clausen | I must have miscalculated the amount of oxidiser. |
| Jarod | Is that what you think happened? |
| Mickey Clausen | Well, cars don’t blow up by themselves. |
| Jarod | Were you able to detect anything when you watched the dailies? |
| Mickey Clausen | Cant watch ’em. Here. Why don’t you take ’em? Can’t see on tape what I see in my nightmares. I just wish it were me in that car. |
| Jarod | Have you seen Dave or his parents since the accident? |
| Mickey Clausen | I cant face him. I cant face his folks. Not after this. |
| Jarod | If you don’t go to the hospital, they’ll never know how you feel. Don’t lose the people that you love. |

| Dave Dugger | Help me! Help me! |
| Brynne McLain | Oh no! |

| Sydney | What is wrong with Igor Broots? |
| Broots | I don’t know, I don’t know. |
| Miss Parker | Forget Igor. What do you mean you didn’t find anything? |
| Broots | I searched the mainframe and checked all the DSA logs. There’s no acronyms, no anagrams, no nothing on Igor. |
| Sydney | And I went through my files without finding anything pertaining to anyone by that name. |
| Igor | Igor know, Igor knows the secret… Figure it out. |
| Miss Parker | Shut that thing up, or I swear to God, I’ll shoot it. |
| Broots | Without a schematic I… |
| Sydney | Miss Parker! |
| Igor | Got…. a… gut…. feeling… |
| Miss Parker | Gut feeling. |
| Broots | Wait, wait, what are you doing? |

|
| Jarod | Now, the gag will look something like this. |
| Ian | That’s it? I’ve seen bigger rug burns. Those sneakers were supposed to have stepped in rocket fuel. |
| Jarod | Maybe we should have used some more rubber cement. |
| Brynne McLain | Just make it big! |
| Connelly | But not too big. We got millions of dollars invested in Joey and Shawn. |
| Shawn | You should fork over some dough for a stunt double. |
| Ian | I suppose we could soak them in petrol. |
| Shawn | Okay, first of all Ian, it’s not called petrol. Maybe in your country they call it petrol but over here in America, we call it gas. And second of all, have you been sniffing some? |
| Brynne McLain | Okay people. |
| Jarod | He’s right. Gasoline is way too volatile. |
| Ian | Safety doesn’t sell beer. Flash does. |
| Brynne McLain | I got a day and a half left on this shoot. Jarod work with me here. |
| Ray Slater | I got an idea Jarod. |
Ray Slater's office on the Blaster Brewery Set |
|
| Ray Slater | Napalm. |
| Jarod | Napalm? |
| Ray Slater | Mm-hmm. |
| Jarod | Where did you get it? |
| Ray Slater | I made it. |
| Jarod | You make your own napalm? |
| Ray Slater | Mickey taught me how. With the right balance, you can create a massive explosion on a controlled burn. It’s perfect for the shoe gag. |
| Jarod | You might have a future in this business. |
Sydney's office - The Centre - Blue Cove - Delaware |
|
| Broots | The tape from inside Igor is a security record of Sublevel 27. |
| Miss Parker | So that’s what it looked like before it burned. |
| Sydney | April 12, 1970. The day before your mother died. |
| Miss Parker | Mom. |
| Video Tape | |
| Catherine | Mr Fenigor. |
| Broots | Mr Fenigor? Fen… |
| Miss Parker | Igor. Can you recognise him? |
| Sydney | Too damned dark. |
| Video Tape | |
| Catherine | Did you find out where they’re keeping Timmy? |
| Mr Fenigor | He’s in room 155. |
| Catherine | I’ve got to get Jarod and Timmy out of here tonight. I have a gut feeling something’s going to happen. Confiscate all surveillance data, especially the camera records of us now. I cant have the wrong people finding out about this. |
| Mr Fenigor | I’ll take care of it. |
| Catherine | The children’s lives depend on us. |
| End of video tape | |
| Broots | Who the hell is Timmy? |
| Miss Parker | Somebody Mr Igor was trying to help my mother rescue. |
| Sydney | Along with Jarod. |
| Miss Parker | Syd, do you remember a Timmy? |
| Flashback | |
| Raines | Let’s move along, I want some more cooperation from you next time. |
| Young Jarod | Who is that? |
| Sydney | Shh. |
| Timmy | When can I go home Dr Raines? |
| Raines | In good time Timmy. |
| Young Jarod | He’s crying, Sydney. He’s scared. I wanna talk to him. |
| Sydney | No Jarod. Come on. |
| End of flashback | |
| Sydney | He was one of Raines’ projects. |
| Miss Parker | And if this was going on in SL-27… |
| Sydney | Timmy must have been… one of Raines’ experiments. |
| Miss Parker | Broots, run Fenigor. I need to know who he is. And Sydney, you go through your files too, searching for anything on Timmy. We’re going to find Room 155. |
| Broots | What? Y.. you mean, in SL-27? Again? |
| Miss Parker | My mother wasn’t afraid to go down there. Are you? |
| Broots | Hell yeah! That’s Raines’ secret sublevel. If… if he finds out we’ve been down there, he… he’ll have us killed. |
| Miss Parker | Then make sure he doesn’t find out. |
SL-27 - The Centre - Blue Cove - Delaware |
|
| Broots | There was absolutely nothing on Fenigor. |
| Sydney | And the only sign of Timmy staying in the Centre is a simple discharge order signed by, then, Dr Raines, dated April 14, 1970. |
| Miss Parker | The day after my mother was killed. How coincidental. |
| Broots | Hey look. Geez! How long has the Centre been doing stuff down here? |
| Miss Parker | Are you gonna browse, or are you gonna help us find Room 155? Sydney, what else did Timmy’s records reveal? |
| Sydney | Very little. No last name, no forwarding address. Common for a routine discharge. |
| Miss Parker | Well, if it was so routine, then why was my mother so intent on rescuing him? |
| Broots | Like the creature said, Igor knows the secret. |
| Miss Parker | The secret as to what got my mother killed, maybe even who murdered her. |
| Sydney | Easy Parker. One step at a time. The information you’re talking about could get us all killed. |
| Broots | Miss Parker. What the hell? What is that? |
| Sydney | It’s a neuro-electric chair. |
| Broots | For a kid? I think I’m gonna hurl. |
| Sydney | I remember rumours about clandestine experiments involving brain wave manipulation . |
| Miss Parker | No wonder my mother was trying to save Timmy, save all the children. This is unbelievable. |
| Broots | Hey, you guys. Let’s get out of here. This place, this place was trashed in the fire. We’ll never know for sure what happened to Timmy. |
| Sydney | Maybe, maybe not. |
| Miss Parker | What are you thinking Einstein? |
| Sydney | Let’s bring in Angelo. Maybe he can empath what happened down here. |
Mickey Clausen's office on the Blaster Brewery Set |
|
| Jarod | What are you doing? You can’t sell off your business. This is your life’s work. |
| Mickey Clausen | Tell that to Dave Dugger and his parents. |
| Jarod | Mickey, they are just trying to come to terms with what happened. |
| Mickey Clausen | Hollywood has come to terms with what happened. There’s not a stuntman in this town who will work with me again. |
| Jarod | I can’t believe that. Everybody in town knows how wonderful you are at your job. |
| Mickey Clausen | You’re only as good as your last project. It’s over Jarod. |
| Jarod | All right, I’ll buy it all. |
| Mickey Clausen | Excuse me? |
| Jarod | I’ll buy everything. Mr Formaldehyde, uh, the lipstick camera you used in Charlie Cyclops, the bust that you created all those wonderfully grotesque figures with. |
| Mickey Clausen | This one is not for sale. All right? This is Dave Dugger. We made this bust on our first gig together. He uh… This is a face I’ll always remember. I don’t know what I’m gonna do Jarod. I just… What am I gonna do? |
SL-27 - The Centre - Blue Cove - Delaware |
|
| Miss Parker | What is the matter with him? I’ve never seen him like this before. |
| Sydney | He’s an empath. Perhaps he’s confronting some negative associations he has with SL 27. |
| Broots | Him and me both. |
| Sydney | Oh, maybe this was not a good idea. |
| Miss Parker | Well, if he can tell us something, it’s a good idea. Get him in here! |
| Angelo | I can’t. |
| Broots | Come on Angelo. It’s going to be all right. |
| Miss Parker | Angelo, tell me what happened here. |
| Sydney | It’s dangerous for Angelo. |
| Miss Parker | What happened here? Tell me about… |
| Sydney | Miss Parker! Please! |
| Miss Parker | Tell me about Timmy! |
| Angelo | Timmy! Timmy! No more Timmy. |
| Sydney | Angelo, Angelo. |
| Angelo | No more Timmy. |
| Sydney | Come back Angelo. |
| Angelo | No more Timmy. |

Ray, it’s Jarod. You working late? |
| Ray Slater | Just cleaning up some odds and ends. |
| Jarod | I’ve got some good news. I just came from the hospital. Dave Dugger regained consciousness. He’s asking for you. Ray, are you there? |
| Ray Slater | Yeah, that’s… that’s, that’s great news Jarod. I’m on my way. |

| Sydney | Angelo, can you hear me? Angelo. Can you speak? |
| Miss Parker | I’m sorry Angelo. Please… talk to me. What you know may help me discover who killed my mother. Angelo. |
| Sydney | Look, I know how much this information means to you but down here, we’ve hit a dead end. |
| Miss Parker | Dead ends are not an option Sydney. Somewhere in this hellhole are the answers about Timmy and Igor and the truth about what happened to my mother. Maybe it’s time to take a look into Raines’ private DSA files. |

|
| Ray Slater | Hey, Dave. You awake? |
| Jarod (pretending to be Dave Dugger) | Come closer. Hard to talk. |
| Ray Slater | How you doin’? |
| Jarod | Looks like I’ll be missing the prom. |
| Ray Slater | I’m sorry. |
| Jarod | Hey. Don’t get all soft on me Ray. N… not after how Mickey left me. I need my real friends to be strong. You’re the only real friend I have left. |
| Ray Slater | Oh God. |
| Jarod | What’s the matter buddy? Your hands are shaking. |
| Ray Slater | Um… I started drinking again Dave. |
| Jarod | Why? |
| Ray Slater | It’s the guilt. |
| Jarod | About what? |
| Ray Slater | About doing this to you. |
| Jarod | I don’t understand. |
| Ray Slater | Mickey didn’t do this to you. He was looking out for you. But Brynne, she wouldn’t take no for an answer. One day, she’s talking to me about explosions. And I told her about the napalm and gave her a little demonstration. When the explosion happened, I know she’d stolen some and put it on the radiator. I confronted her about it, and she threatened to involve me if I talked. With my background Dave, who’s gonna believe me? My career, my family, my life would have been over. So… I sold you and Mickey out to save myself. Oh God. I’m sorry Dave. I’m so sorry. |
| Jarod (stop pretending) |
It’s okay Ray. The first step towards forgiveness is telling the truth. |
Jarod's lair |

Hello, Brynne? It’s Jarod. I’ve made an explosive breakthrough and I’d like you to be the first to see it. Could you come by the set before crew call tomorrow? Wonderful. |
On the Blaster Brewery Set |
|
| Brynne McLain | Jarod. You should know I make it a practice never to get intimate with any of the men I work with. |
| Jarod | Well, lucky for us, the job ends today. While we’re still working I gotta tell you I put so much napalm on that billboard when this Caddy hits it, it’s gonna explode like Baghdad during the Gulf War. Watch. Hey Brynne, why don’t we take the Caddy for a little spin before we turn it into scrap metal? |
| Brynne McLain | Okay. Thank you sir. |
| Jarod | Buckle up. |
| Brynne McLain | Did you have someplace special in mind? |
| Jarod | Actually I thought I would drive you into that billboard. |
| Brynne McLain | What? |
| Jarod | Don’t worry, I’ve set it up to be every bit as safe as you set it up for Dave Dugger. I even smeared Ray’s homemade napalm all over the radiator, just like you did to Dave. |
| Brynne McLain | I’m outta here. |
| Jarod | Oh, there’s no point in struggling. You know how strong Mighty Stick Glue is. You created the commercial for it. |
| Brynne McLain | Are you insane? |
| Jarod | People thought I was when I set myself on fire. But I did remember to put on the suit and coat myself with Zell Gel so I should be just fine. I’m sure Dave Dugger would have taken the same precautions. But how was he supposed to know you rigged another explosion for inside of the car? |
| Brynne McLain | I don’t know what you’re talking about. |
| Jarod | Hmmm, well maybe a little third-degree burn will help jar your memory. |
| Brynne McLain | Jarod. |
| Jarod | Oh come on Brynne. It will be a shot to die for, remember? |
| Brynne McLain | Jarod please. |
| Jarod | Why would you put napalm on the radiator? The bigger the explosion, the better the commercial? You tell me something, what demographic says that beer sales are more important than a man’s life? |
| Brynne McLain | If the commercial hadn’t been right, I’d have lost the account. |
| Jarod | What about what Mickey Clausen lost? What about Dave Dugger? They lost everything. The only thing you could’ve lost was just a job. |
| Brynne McLain | Just a job? I worked my ass off to get where I am, into boy’s clubs and through glass ceilings and I am not about to lose it all because some flunky special effects guy was too soft to do the job we paid him for. |
| Jarod | You know something Brynne? I don’t think your ad agency is going to be giving you a corner office after all this. But look on the bright side, maybe you have a career ahead of you, in stunt work. |
| Brynne McLain | Jarod. Jarod? Jarod! No Jarod! |
| Jarod | Ka-boom. Did the camera record all that Mickey? |
| Mickey Clausen | We got it in one. |
| Jarod | That’s a wrap. |

| Raines | You don’t know your husband as well as you think you do. MY advice is to remain quiet about this if you know what’s best for you. |
| Catherine | Timmy? Ohh! Raines, what are you gonna do with Timmy now? |
| Raines | There is no Timmy anymore. From now on, he’s to be called… Angelo. |
| End of DSA | |
| Broots | T… Timmy is Angelo? What did Raines do to him? |
| Sydney | Somehow his emotions, his ability to relate to the physical world were driven inward, and gave Angelo his unique gift. |
| Miss Parker | But took away his life. |
| Broots | Were you involved in this? |
| Sydney | Had I known about this I would have done everything in my power to stop it. |
| Miss Parker | And ended up dead, just like my mother. |

| Dave Dugger | He actually sold you all his FX stuff? |
| Mickey Clausen | Yeah, I know. I don’t suppose you’d be willing to sell it back. |
| Jarod | For the right price. |
| Dave Dugger | Well, charge him double. He has it coming to him if he thinks he did this to me. |
| Mickey Clausen | Thanks a lot Jarod. |
| Mrs Dugger | Hi Mickey. |
| Mr Dugger | Mickey. |

| Young Jarod | White choosing the Samisch Variation to answer the black’s Nimzo-Indian Defence. |
| Sydney | Very good Jarod. |
| Jarod | Who are you Mr Igor? |
| Young Jarod | Sydney, when do I get to meet that other boy? |
| Sydney | He’s gone. |
| Young Jarod | What do you mean gone? |
| Sydney | I received a copy of the paperwork today. Dr Raines released him. |
| Young Jarod | Did he do something wrong? |
| Sydney | He wasn’t special. |
| End of DSA | |
| Jarod | You were special Timmy. |

What? |
| Jarod (on phone) |
How are you coming with my gut feeling? |
| Miss Parker | You need to ask? Why the game with the creature? Why not just tell me? |
| Jarod | Sometimes the destination isn’t as important as the journey. |
| Miss Parker | Well, where on your journey did you find that surveillance tape? |
| Jarod | In one of your mother’s safe deposit boxes. |
| Miss Parker | Like her wedding ring and medical file? |
| Jarod | Oh, you’d be surprised what one could find in there. |
| Miss Parker | Jarod. |
| Jarod | Ah. You know the dance Miss Parker. You help me with one of my secrets, I help you with one of yours. |
| Miss Parker | We weren’t able to find anything about Igor or Fenigor. I don’t know if he was my mother’s ally or betrayer. |
| Jarod | Well, keep searching. Igor… he holds the secrets to both our pasts. |
| Miss Parker | What makes you so sure? |
| Jarod | Call it… a gut feeling |
