Episode summary

 

Jarod tries to find an escaped convict...whom he recognizes as his old friend from the Centre.

When Jarod sees a TV news story about an escaped convict, he sees a distinctive scar on the man's hand and flashes back to a Sim in which Mr. Raines tricked him into burning the hand of another boy, Kyle. A bit later, Jarod, pretending to be a psychologist, visits the prison and, in the escapee's cell, finds a blue notebook filled with the phrase, "I decide who lives or dies" and a photo of a farm...while a guard tells him that the escapee's doctor, who breathes with an oxygen tank, visits frequently. Meanwhile, at the Centre, Sydney gives Jarod's red notebooks to Angelo, hoping he can absorb enough of Jarod's thoughts to find him.

A bit later, a woman named Harriet Tashman is abducted, and a team of F.B.I. agents, led by a man named Korkos, but also including Jarod, investigates. As they search the apartment, Jarod finds a bible with a marker from the St. Catherine of the Hills convent, then learns the escapee was sent to prison for abducting Harriet 10 years earlier...and that another F.B.I. agent visited Harriet that morning. Then we see that "agent"-the escapee-dump his uniform in a trash can and get into a cab. Back at the Centre, as Angelo reads more notebooks, he suddenly becomes upset, grabs Miss Parker and starts choking her. And as Sydney pulls Angelo away, Broots sees the notebook that set Angelo off was blue, not red.

Meanwhile, at the F.B.I., Jarod watches old news tapes about Harriet's first abduction...and is shocked to see his mother in one of the tapes. A bit later, Jarod finds the farm shown in the escapee's picture, and learns it belongs to Harriet Tashman. Jarod shows the photo of his mother to the caretaker, who says she and her husband used to live in an apartment over the barn. Before he can go in, however, Jarod is summoned back to the F.B.I., where Korkos says a cab driver was found in shock after an encounter with the escapee, who tied him up and left him on a train track, repeating, "I decide who lives or dies."

Back at the Sim Lab, Sydney says the blue notebook Angelo reacted to belonged to another Centre subject-Kyle-who was supervised by Dr. Raines but was also released years before the date on the notebook. Broots says Kyle must have been held secretly after his release, and Miss Parker realizes he was probably kept in the secret sub-level, SL27. The three of them descend to SL27, and find the cell where Kyle was kept, which has huge gouges in the door, as if the boy had tried to claw his way out. Down the hall, Broots finds the charred remains of an early supercomputer, which Raines used to store data on Kyle. Meanwhile, Jarod watches old DSAs, which show him and Kyle discovering that neither knows his own history. Back at the Centre, Broots reconstructs one of the DSAs from the supercomputer, which shows Raines putting Kyle through a Sim in which he pretends to be James Earl Ray, preparing to assassinate Martin Luther King, Jr. Sydney is horrified, and realizes Raines actually achieved his long-time goal of creating a psychopath through the Sim process.

A bit later, Jarod watches another DSA, in which he admires a medal Kyle wore around his neck...and then shows Kyle how to make origami birds. The boys also realize their rooms are next to each other, and figure out how to communicate using a wire that runs through a common air duct. Back at the Centre, Sydney confronts Raines about Kyle...while at the F.B.I., Korkos puts out a shoot-to-kill order on the escapee. Back at the Centre, Broots watches TV and is interrupted by Angelo, who becomes fascinated by a story about the escapee and writes "SL27" on the screen...leading Broots to realize that the escapee is Kyle. Meanwhile, Jarod returns to Harriet's farm, and explores the barn apartment. There, he finds another bible with a St. Catherine's marker in it...and also learns his parents had a baby while living there.

Back at the Centre, Broots recovers another old DSA from the supercomputer, which shows Raines teaching Kyle to shoot...at a life-size cutout of Catherine Parker. Meanwhile, Jarod goes to St. Catherine's convent, and arrives just in time to see a man in a monk's cowl-Kyle- rab Harriet, push her into a car, and drive away, leaving a blue notebook behind. Later, Miss Parker tells her father about Raines and Kyle, but stops short of saying she suspects Raines trained Kyle to kill her mother. Back in his lair, Jarod calls Sydney and asks him about the Dragon House, which Kyle mentioned. Sydney says he'll check on it, then asks Broots to hack into Mr. Raines' computer. Meanwhile, Jarod makes a quick trip to Boson, pretends to be Kyle robbing an ATM, and sends the F.B.I. off on a wild goose chase.

A bit later, Sydney calls Jarod and says the Dragon House is in New Jersey...but warns Jarod he'll be followed if he goes there. Later, at the Dragon House, Kyle prepares to torture Harriet to find out where his parents are...but then Jarod arrives...and so does Mr. Raines. Raines' sweepers chase Jarod, Harriet and Kyle, and Jarod and Kyle draw guns on each other. Just then, however, Sydney and Miss Parker arrive, and Harriet bats Jarod's gun away. The sweepers go after Kyle, while Jarod and Harriet jump in a car. And as they drive away, Jarod asks why Harriet didn't let him kill Kyle...and she says he's Jarod's brother.

PART 2

Jarod tries to save his brother, Kyle, and learns more about his long-lost family.

After telling Jarod that Kyle is his brother, Harriet explains that she used to be a nun and, while living at the convent, met a young initiate named Catherine. Catherine later left the convent and married a man named Parker and then, a few years later, asked Harriet if she could shelter a young couple-Charles and Margaret-whose two young sons had been abducted. They moved into an apartment at Harriet's farm, and had another baby, Emily...but then fled after Kyle eventually ran away from the Centre and kidnapped Harriet, looking for his parents. Meanwhile, at the Centre, Mr. Raines hooks Kyle up to a series of electrodes, questions him about Centre activities, and every time it seems Kyle remembers more than he should, Mr. Raines zaps him with electricity. Miss Parker watches with her father, but when she asks who Kyle is, Mr. Parker just says she should be looking for Jarod.

Later, Miss Parker asks Sydney and Broots to help her get in to see Kyle alone. Sydney says this is impossible, but Broots offers to divert the security cameras. A bit later, Broots does the technical routing, then he and Sydney distract a couple of guards, and Miss Parker sneaks into Kyle's cell. She asks Kyle if he killed her mother, and he says no. Then she asks if it was Mr. Raines, but before Kyle an answer, Raines arrives with guards, who pull Kyle out of the cell...while Miss Parker hides under the bed. Meanwhile, Harriet tells Jarod she can contact his family, but will have to be gone a few days to do it...and he says he's going to go back to the Centre to talk to Kyle.

That night, Jarod appears in Sydney's office and asks why Sydney never told him Kyle is his brother. Sydney swears he never knew...and then Mr. Raines enters. Jarod ducks out again, popping up a few minutes later in his old cell, where Angelo crawls out of an air vent and greets Jarod warmly. Meanwhile, in the lab, Raines orders a surgeon to prep Kyle for frontal lobe brain surgery. But then, when the two men exit to begin their preparations, Jarod enters, begins unstrapping Kyle, and explains that he's helping because Kyle is his brother. Just then, the doctor returns, Kyle attacks him and,as Jarod pulls him away, Angelo, who came in with Jarod, gets upset and pulls an alarm. As Sydney, Broots and Miss Parker respond, Jarod and Kyle climb into an air duct. Eventually, sensors indicate someone in the ducts, but when Miss Parker rips one open, she only finds Angelo, while Jarod and Kyle emerge from a manhole, safe on the outside.

Later, Miss Parker tells her father that Raines is out of control. Mr. Parker assures her Raines will be dealt with, and once again orders her to concentrate on Jarod...who we see is now on his way back to Harriet's farm with Kyle. The next day, Sydney, Miss Parker and Broots give Angelo notebooks from both Jarod and Kyle, hoping he'll be able to figure out where they went. And finally, as Mr. Raines watches from above, Angelo becomes agitated, grabs a photo of Harriet's farm and says he's going "home." Meanwhile, Jarod and Kyle explore their parents' apartment at the farm, and Jarod shows the photo of their mother to Kyle, and tells him about their sister. About the same time, however, Mr. Raines calls the F.B.I., which is stilllooking for Kyle, and tells them where he is. A bit later, Harriet returns to the farm, and says she has good news for Jarod and Kyle. But before she can say what it is, a convoy of F.B.I. vehicles roars in, and Jarod, Kyle and Harriet try to escape in their van. The F.B.I. agents chase them, shooting, and blow out one of the van's tires. The van flips and rolls. Harriet pulls Jarod clear, but Kyle's leg is broken and he can't get out. Then the F.B.I.shoots again and the van blows up, with Kyleinside. Finally, Harriet pulls Jarod away, gives him an address of a Bostoncoffee shop, and says he'll be able to meet his family there at 3:00 the next day.

The next day, Mr. Parker tells Raines he knows where Jarod's going. Later, Jarod arrives at the coffee shop, while, nearby, Miss Parker hands out guns to Sydney and Broots. Then, as they and a sweeper team spread out, Jarod sees a taxi drive up, and his mother gets out. But just as they see each other, Jarod also sees Sydney and the sweepers, and yells at his mother to run. She gets back in the cab and, as it drives off, Jarod fights off a team of sweepers, grabs a gun from one and runs into an alley, where Raines is waiting. Jarod aims his gun at Raines, but then realizes he doesn't want to become the man he hates. Instead, he turns to run and Raines takes aim at him...but then a shot rings out and Raines' oxygen tank explodes and sets him on fire. And as the sweepers rush in to douse the flames,

Jarod gets away again. Later, Miss Parker meets with her father and asks if Raines killed her mother, but he says he can't tell her just yet...and then leaves with some men who come to escort him to a meeting with Raines. Later, as Sydney and Broots study an inconclusive ballistics report from Raines' shooting, Jarod phones and asks where they buried Kyle. Sydney says, however, that the van was so badly burned, no remains were found. Then Sydney asks Jarod what he's going to donext, and Jarod, now watching a space shuttle launch, tells Sydney to catch him if he can.
