Official Synopsis

While trying to rescue a young girl during a hurricane, Jarod gets trapped with Miss Parker and forces her to confront some truths about her mother’s life and death.

 

Miss Parker visits the site of Jarod’s last job, as an alligator wrestler in the Florida Keys, and is given a safe deposit box key from the Dover Town Bank.  Miss Parker goes to the bank and, in the box, finds a medical report and photos of her mother, taken after a severe beating.  Meanwhile, Jarod, now working for the Florida Shore Patrol, helps another officer, Bartlett, capture a wayward alligator.  Later, Miss Parker is summoned by Mr. Raines, who reveals he has been spying on Miss Parker, and demands to know what she found in the safe deposit box.  She asks him how her mother really died, but then Mr. Parker enters and says Mrs. Parker committed suicide.  Miss Parker says she remembers a terrible fight her parents had the day the beating photos were taken, but Mr. Parker insists she was too young to understand.  Finally, Miss Parker asks, once again, to be taken off the Jarod assignment, but Mr. Parker refuses.  Meanwhile, in Florida, Jarod mails an old engagement ring to Miss Parker…then gathers up a thick rope and a gun, and reads a newspaper story about a young Haitian girl, rescued when her refugee parents were abandoned by Bartlett and left to die in fierce storm.  Back at the Centre, Broots and Sydney tell Miss Parker that Jarod is still in Florida, directly in the path of an oncoming hurricane…and she insists on going there.  A bit later, Jarod visits the Bahia Cove Hotel, where a man, Watson, is watching the orphan girl, Simone, who is sick with a fever.  Jarod asks Watson to drive Simone to a doctor in Miami, then returns to the Marine Patrol boathouse and tells Bartlett he has been asked to gather evidence on Simone’s parents’ deaths before the new hurricane blows in.  As Sam and Miss Parker drive toward Florida, she flashes back to the fight her parents had the night her mother was beaten…and Jarod and Bartlett go into the woods, where Bartlett steps into a snare and is snapped up in a big rope net.  Bartlett begs Jarod to cut him down, but Jarod leaves him, just as Bartlett left Simone’s parents.  As the storm hits, Jarod returns to the hotel and is surprised to find Miss Parker and Sam there with Watson and Simone.

As Miss Parker gloats about finally cornering Jarod, he asks if Mr. Parker has told her the truth about her mother’s death.  Miss Parker says the beating photos were fake, but Jarod insists they are real.  Meanwhile, out in the swamp, Bartlett starts chewing at his net.  Back at the hotel, Simone takes a turn for the worse, and Jarod begs to get her some penicillin from the boathouse.  Miss Parker relents, handcuffs Jarod and starts to drive him there. But the storm forces their car of the road, and they’re forced to continue on foot.  Finally, they get to the boathouse and find the medicine, but just as they do, Bartlett bursts in…with a gun.

Back at the Centre, Sydney worries when he doesn’t hear from Miss Parker, and Mr. Parker worries Jarod is telling Miss Parker “lies” about her mother.  Sydney reminds Mr. Parker that he was Mrs. Parker’s doctor, and knows the truth…and we see Mr. Raines listening in on the conversation.  Back at the boathouse, Bartlett handcuffs Jarod and Miss Parker, then goes out to prepare a boat.  While he is gone, Miss Parker asks why Jarod is so interested in her mother, and he says she was planning his rescue when she died.  Finally, Jarod asks how Miss Parker can trust her father after seeing the beating photos, but she insists she never saw her father hit her mother…and starts slipping out of her handcuffs. Back at the Centre, Sydney asks Mr. Raines how he strayed so far from his mission as a doctor, but before Raines can answer, Broots says the hurricane has abated.  Meanwhile, Bartlett returns to the boathouse, but the captives are now free, and while Jarod holds a flare gun on Bartlett, Miss Parker punches him.  They lock Bartlett in a cage, and the fight prompts another flashback…in which Miss Parker remembers seeing Mr. Raines leave the house after her mother was beaten.

After Jarod locks Bartlett in the cage, he turns the flare gun on Miss Parker, re-handcuffs her, and leaves.  After Jarod’s gone, Miss Parker tricks Bartlett into rolling his cage over to a spare handcuff key, and then, when he does, and they get free, she knocks Bartlett out and runs.  Meanwhile, Sydney and Broots fly to the hotel in a helicopter.  Jarod finally gets back with the medicine for Simone, and administers it.  But as he does, he hears the helicopter, grabs Simone, and runs out.  A few minutes later, Sydney and Broots rush into the hotel, looking for Jarod.  Meanwhile, Miss Parker returns…just in time to see Jarod load Simone into the helicopter and fly away.  Later, back at the Centre, Miss Parker tells her father she will continue hunting Jarod…but insists that Mr. Raines cease spying on her.  That night, at home, Miss Parker opens the package Jarod sent, and finds the ring, which belonged to her grandmother.  Then Jarod calls, and Miss Parker says she realizes her mother died trying to save him, and that she is through chasing her past.  Finally, as Jarod talks, we see he is on a shoeshine stand…wearing shiny new alligator boots.

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?
Jarod   I know that smile.
     
     
    intro
     
     
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.
     
     
    The Bahia Bay Hotel
     
     
    Tech Room
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
     
     
    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.
     
     
    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.
     
     
Miss Parker   “broken left thumb, fracture of clavicle, . . . thumb, right third . . . lumbar left rib . . .”
     
     
    Flashback
Catherine   No! No! You’re hurting me!
Man’s Voice   Come back here!
     
     
Miss Parker   Faster Sam.
     
     
    The Bahia Bay Hotel
Pat   Okay. We’re going to be leaving here in just a few minutes, okay?
     
     
    Harrison Marsh
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
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.
     
     
    Harrison Marsh
     
     
    The Bahia Grande Hotel
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!
     
     
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    
Jarod    
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.
     
     
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
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.
Barker   Honey, I’m home!

TV   … speeds of up to 160 miles an hour…
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.
     
     
    Marine Patrol
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.
     
     
    The Bahia Bay Hotel
Pat   Sh sh sh. She can’t keep any food down. Let me make her some juice. The vitamins will do her good.
Sam   Hey!
Pat   You scared me.
Sam   Stop wasting time.
     
     
    Marine Patrol Station
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.
     
     
    Flashback
Miss Parker   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.
     
     
    The Centre
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.
     
     
    The Bahia Bay Hotel
Pat   That’s it. A little tangerine, a little key lime. Good for the soul. She’s still burning up. Come on Jarod.
Sam   Where are you going?
Pat   To get some more.
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   Momma.
Young Miss Parker   Momma!
Catherine   It’s okay sweetheart. Mom’s all right.
Miss Parker   Mr Raines.
     
     
    Marine Patrol
Miss Parker   Hey. Hey!
Barker   What?
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!
     
     
    The Bahia Bay Hotel

Barker   So when do I get that sweet reward?
Miss Parker   Now.

Pat   Jarod.
Sam   Where’s Miss Parker? I said where is she?!
Jarod   She had a date.
Sam   Drop it and stand against the wall.
Jarod   She needs this. What are you going to do Sam? You going to kill me? I don’t think you have the authorisation to do that.
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.
Sydney   Where is he?
Pat   That way. By the front desk, out, bungalow 32! Way, way, way in back!
     
     
Jarod   You ready? Your momma and poppa, they can see you now.
     
     
    Mr Parker’s Office
Miss Parker   I was close and I learned a few things that are going to get me
even closer.
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?
Raines   As a bell.
Miss Parker   I’ll see you later Daddy.
Mr Parker   Good to have you back.
     
     
    Miss Parker’s House
Miss Parker   “My dearest daughter this ring was your great grandmother’s. If something should happen to me I leave it for you. Maybe you’ll have better luck. Mom.” What?
Jarod   Did you get the ring?
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.
