Behind the scenes insights and the Creator’s Take

Official Synopsis

An engineer attempts suicide after he is made the scapegoat for a hazardous chemical spill that claimed the lives of three co-workers. Sydney threatens to kill an old enemy.

 

While waiting for a bus, Jarod befriends Dan Healy, an African-American designer/engineer.  When Healy opens his briefcase, Jarod notices family photographs within.  With great pride, Healy points out his wife, Sharon, and fifteen-year old son, Todd.  Moments later, Healy becomes strangely distant—and calmy steps out in front of an oncoming bus.  Jarod leaps to his feet, pulling Healy by one arm.  Despite Jarod’s effort, Healy is stuck by the vehicle.  Healy is transported to the hospital, unconscious but still alive.

Jarod reviews news footage covering a chemical spill at a firm called Envirosure, an organization specializing in the cleanup of hazardous materials.  Three employees were killed when a container ruptured during routine storage.  The reporter quotes anonymous sources, who suspect that a design flaw in the seals used on the storage containers are at fault.  The designer—Dan Healy—is clearly distraught when interviewed by the reporter.

Assuming the identity of an experienced chemist, Jarod finds employment at Envirosure.  His co-workers include Terry Hunsaker, no-nonsense and efficent; Lisa Gibbs, a supervisor; Horace Strickland, an assistant chemist; and Brian Wilkes, from Media Relations.

Meanwhile, back at the Centre, Sydney’s mood turns from joyous to deadly serious when he notices a white-haired old man, Mr. Zeller, walking through the Centre lobby.  Miss Parker and Broots grow concerned when Sydney retreives a gun from his office and disappears without explanation.  With Angelo’s help, they locate a sketch of Zeller—signed by Jarod—in Sydney’s office.  By reviewing the Centre’s security tapes, Miss Parker and Broots identify the old man as Martin Zeller, an optometrist from upstate New York.  Later, Angelo scans the drawing into his computer and e-mails it to Jarod.

Jarod and Gibbs inspect a strip of red, rubber-like material invented by Healy to seal the yellow chemical containers.  Gibbs finds it difficult to believe that Healy neglected to test the sealant against MZT—the deadly chemical which killed the three workers.

Jarod approaches Healy’s son, Todd, and tells him he believes his father is not responsible for the chemical spill.  But an angered Todd walks away, questioning why the stranger bothered to save a man who didn’t care about his own life.  Later, Todd confesses that, in a moment of anger, he told his father he was to blame for the mishap—and didn’t deserve to live.

Using a container filled with MZT, Jarod conducts his own test on the reliability of Healy’s sealant.  The test confirms that the seal does not react adversely when exposed to the chemical, proving Healy was not at fault.  Later, Jarod receives Angelo’s e-mail… and is shocked to recognize Zeller’s face.  Jarod reviews a DSA, and recalls how he drew the sketch for Sydney years earlier.  Though Jarod is uncertain of the connection between the pair, he is certain Sydney will do the old man harm.  He telephones Miss Parker and warns that Sydney must be stopped.

Jarod discovers a connection between Horace Strickland and one of the men killed in the accident, Larry Meyers.  Using a computer, he determines that large sums of money were transferred between their bank accounts.  He also analyzes the contents of a plastic bottle in Strickland’s possession…and discovers that the liquid dissolves Healy’s sealant.  By examining company documents, Jarod determines that Strickland was using the containers to smuggle narcotics.  Meyers learned of the scheme, and began extorting money from Strickland.  Unwilling to be blackmailed, Strickland spiked an MZT shipment, knowing it would lead to Meyer’s “accidental” death.

Miss Parker locates Sydney, who holds Zeller at gunpoint.  Sydney explains that Zeller’s real name is Doctor Werner Krieg, an ambitious Nazi surgeon who was instructed to accelerate the production of the master race.  Sydney and his twin brother, Jacob, became Krieg’s favorite test subjects.

Jarod lowers Strickland into a hazardous waste container and fills it with what appears to by MZT.  Panicking, Strickland confesses to the murder and the framing of Dan Healy.  Suddenly, Jarod opens the container and lets the white foamy contents spill onto the floor—explaining that Twinkie cream is “the food of the Gods.”

Miss Parker hands Sydney a gun, hoping he will kill Krieg and eliminate one less monster in the world.  Sydney decides to let Krieg live, explaining that, because of Jarod, he became a monster.  Later, Krieg is extradited to Tel Aviv for trial.  Jarod assures Sydney by phone that he is not a monster.

Sydney   Is suicide the answer?
Young Jarod   I set myself on fire because I’m convinced it’ll send a message Sydney. It’ll stop the war.
Sydney   We understand that. But what are you feeling? Stay with the simulation Jarod.
Young Jarod   But he had people who loved him. How could he do that to them?
Sydney   That’s not significant to the simulation.
Young Jarod   Family’s important to everyone Sydney. What he’s doing wont stop the war. It’ll just destroy a family. Why would someone wanna do this?
Sydney   Jarod, suicide’s not just an action. It’s a cry for help.
     
     
Jarod   I only hope I can.

Danielle Canepa   Questions remain about a deadly spill inside ECS, a private firm specialising in hazardous materials cleanup. We’ve obtained exclusive fire department footage taken immediately after a container of deadly MZT foam ruptured during routine storage. Three ECS workers were killed when the concentrated pesticide burned thru their lungs and paralysed their nervous system. ECS spokesperson Curt Wilkes.
Curt Wilkes   ECS is engaged in a full and thorough investigation of this tragedy. Our hearts go out to the families of those employees lost.
Danielle Canepa   We caught up to ECS engineer Dan Healy. Any response on the deaths of these workers?
Dan Healy   Not now. They were my friends.
Danielle Canepa   People deserve answers, Mr Healy.
Dan Healy   They were my friends.
Danielle Canepa   Yes, but are they dead because of you?
Dan Healy   I tested the seal. They were my friends, I let them down.
     
     
Jarod   Dear Susan and Todd….
Dan’s voice   I have failed you as a husband and a father just as I failed my friends and co-workers. I’m sorry for the nightmare I’ve made of your lives. You deserve better. Love Dan.
     
     
Hunsaker   Welcome to ECS Jarod.
Jarod   I read in my orientation packet that the company amassed a 75 million dollar profit last year.
Hunsaker   Yep, and that Taiwanese tanker we
just pumped free of bilge and crude, their shipping line is one of our biggest clients.
Jarod   This is very interesting. You process the waste through this system.
Hunsaker   What comes out is highly concentrated.
Jarod   And highly deadly.
Hunsaker   We secure the waste, we seal it in these level A containers and then we ship it off to some salt mine in Nevada where it won’t give anybody any trouble for a while.
Jarod   High-grade polyethylene container. It should last about 20,000 years.
Strickland   Yeah, Dick Clark will be the only one around to still open it.
Hunsaker   Funny Strickland.
Gibbs   Do you have any recommendations on how we seal this crude?
Jarod   It’s highly combustible, highly toxic. Since it’s in a level A container, I would suggest a double polymer neoprene and graphite seal.
Gibbs   That’s the right box, wrong ribbon. We’re going back to the black anti-corrosive polymer seal. The red ones Dan Healy designed, it’s no longer in use.
Jarod   Because of the MZT accident?
Gibbs   Yeah. Wear this.
Jarod   As a remembrance?
Gibbs   And a reminder.
     
     
Sydney   Good morning Miss Parker. Broots.
Broots   Sydney.
Miss Parker   You’re looking… refreshed.
Sydney   New underpants will do that to you.
Miss Parker   Sydney, you made a funny.
Sydney   Stole it, I’m afraid. Last night I went out on a date.
Broots   You had a date?
Miss Parker   That’s when two people actually meet instead of typing to each other of a computer keyboard. So, if it was a date, how can you be sure that those are your underpants?
Sydney   Bernice and I went to this amusing little place, the Chocolate.
Broots   You, uh, you, you went to a comedy club?
Sydney   New experiences keep my psychiatric skills finally tuned.
Miss Parker   Not to mention that slam-bang wit.
Sydney   Exactly. How many psychiatrists does it take to change one light bulb?
Broots   Oh, wait, wait, wait, wait. Oh, oh, oh, oh. Uh… Uh, wait…Okay, go ahead, tell us. Wait, wait.
Broots echoing   Oh, wait, wait, wait, wait, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh. Wait. Don’t tell us.
Miss Parker   Sydney, you’re supposed to say the punch line… now. Sydney?
     
     
Curt Wilkes   I got the transpo report for you Gibbs.
Gibbs   47 containers, almost a record.
Strickland   Check this out.
Gibbs   Oh, you’re a funny guy Strickland.
Strickland   Gotcha.
Hunsaker   Have a little respect will ya? People died here a few weeks ago.
Strickland   Easy Hunsaker, they were my friends too. Hell, Larry taught me that gag. He would’ve thought it was funny.
Curt Wilkes   You eat that stuff?
Jarod   They’re very good.
Strickland   Food of the gods.
Curt Wilkes   Dupont right?
Jarod   Uh, yes, that’s me.
Curt Wilkes   MIT, Exxon Valdez, Kuwait. Takes a long time to build that kind of resume.
Jarod   Well actually I typed it in 4 minutes.
Curt Wilkes   That’s funny. I’m Curt Wilkes, Media Relations.
Jarod   Nice to meet you.
Curt Wilkes   I just uh, came down here to make clear that now ECS employee under any circumstances, is to discuss the MZT accident with the press. They’re makin’ a meal out of, uh, Dan Healy’s suicide attempt.
Gibbs   I wonder how that happened.
Curt Wilkes   Dan will have his say when and if he regains consciousness. Don’t give the state a reason to railroad him. Got it?
Gibbs   Oh, he doesn’t want to railroad Dan? He’s the conductor.
     
     
Sam   This is not good.
Miss Parker   I want you to sweep the Centre for Sydney. Every corner in every room on every sublevel. If he walked out, I want the sign-out sheet. And Sam, be low key.
Sam   Yes Miss Parker.
Broots   This is, this is really quacked.
Miss Parker   It’s the Centre Broots. People have a tendency to vanish.
Broots   Like Mr Lyle. Have you ever seen Sydney lose it like this before?
Miss Parker   Once.
Broots   Really, over what?
Miss Parker   It was personal.
Broots   I hope he’s okay. Do you think, do you think he’s okay?
Miss Parker   You tell me.
     
     
Man’s voice   Help! Help! Somebody, please! Oh God! Larry, help me!
Jarod   You saw them die, didn’t you?
Gibbs   It was like nothing I’ve ever seen. They were hoisting the container up in the truck. The first one just blew.
Jarod   No one was wearing their protective gear?
Gibbs   Hunsaker had signalled it all clear. The MZT took about 20 seconds to turn their insides into mush. I hit the alarm, and I ran in there with Strickland but… by the time we got in there it had already eaten through them. They never had a chance. You know, Dan was so careful. He worked on this for three years. Tested and re-tested this.
Jarod   Not against MZT.
Gibbs   It doesn’t make any sense.
Jarod   Is that why you defend him in front of Wilkes?
Gibbs   Oh, that snake only cares about the corporate image. You know, Dan was devastated. He shouldn’t go down for doin’ his job.
     
     
PA   Dr Stanford, report to Pathology. Dr Stanford to Pathology.
Susan   He needs to see you.
Todd   Ma, I cant.
Susan   Todd, Todd, please.
Todd   No, I’m not goin’ in there!
Jarod   Excuse me.
Susan   Oh, um….
Jarod   I, I fixed it for him.
Susan   You were at the bus bench. You helped Dan. Hi, I didn’t get a chance to thank you.
Jarod   I’m Jarod.
Susan   Susan.
Jarod   Hi Susan. How is he doing?
Susan   Oh, uh, the doctors wont know for a while. He may never, uh…
Jarod   Is that your son? Todd right?
Susan   Yeah, Todd.
Jarod   Dan talked about him.
Susan   He doesn’t wanna see his father. I don’t know why I’m bothering you with our problems.
Jarod   Sometimes it’s nice to talk to someone who isn’t a reporter.
Susan   Mnnn. Every day, those vultures askin’… did his father kill those people. I think he’s starting to believe
it.
     
     
Broots   This is a very bad idea. If Mr Raines finds out we got Angelo to help us, he’s going to ask questions.
Miss Parker   Uncle Fester will never know Lurch was missing.
Broots   Well, how long do you thing it’s gonna take him to feel what Sydney was feeling?
Miss Parker   That answer your question? Jarod drew this. Who is he?
Broots   Le Morte. Who’s Le Morte?
Miss Parker   The one who brings death.
     
     
Gibbs   This is ECS 24, pulling up now to the accident site. ECS tanker warning indicators are telling me it’s got a full load of trypto-chlorinol.
Strickland   Geez, look at all the fumes.
Hunsaker   We got us a major core leak. We’ll attempt an on-site depressurisation.
Jarod   Anyone call the paramedics?
Gibbs   I’ll make sure.
Strickland   Pressure tank indicates 3 thousand and rising fast.
Hunsaker   This sucker’s gonna blow if we don’t pump fast. Update me.
Strickland   Uh, it’s already up to 4 thousand. Come on Hunsaker! Latch on!
Jarod   Are you okay?
Kid   My mommy’s in there.
Hunsaker   Dupont, let the paramedics take care of him.
Strickland   45 hundred.
Jarod   I’m going to help your mom. Gibbs, get
him out of here.
Strickland   4750 and rising, let’s go! Come on! Latch on Hunsaker.
Jarod   Can you hear me?
Strickland   5 thousand.
Jarod   You’re going to be okay. I’m going to help you.
Strickland   52 hundred.
Hunsaker   Are you suicidal? Dupont, put that suit back on.
Jarod   She’s pinned in the car. The fumes are gonna kill her.
Strickland   57 hundred.
Hunsaker   If this tanker goes up, we and half of Alameda County are history.
Strickland   58 hundred. Come on people!
Jarod   Your son is okay. Now, breathe into this.
Strickland   63 hundred. 65 hundred. Pop this pimple or it’s gonna get ugly. 63 hundred! Comin’ down. Oh God I love this job!
Gibbs   All right, yeah!
     
     
Miss Parker   One of our senior Expeditors?
Broots   Uh, no, actually, he’s an optometrist from upstate New York. His name is Martin Zeller. he has a little office on Main Street. He wrote out 253 eyeglass prescriptions last year and gives out little lemon lollipops.
Miss Parker   Sydney freaked out over Floyd the Barber?
Broots   Well, just before this was taken he was on this elevator.
Miss Parker   The Tower elevator. So he’s probably a client. Let me see Jarod’s sketch again. It’s gone.
     
     
Jarod   Hey Todd.
Todd   Look, no comment.
Jarod   I’m not a reporter.
Todd   Then what do you want?
Jarod   I came here to tell you that I think your father is innocent.
Todd   I guess that’s why he jumped in front of a bus. Man, get out of my face.
Jarod   I was with him on the bench.
Todd   You’re the guy who saved his life?
Jarod   I wish I could have moved faster.
Todd   My father didn’t care about his life or ours. Why should you?
     
     
Jarod   Nothing.
     
     
Jarod   19 bottles of beer on the wall, 19 bottles of beer. If one of the bottles should happen to fall
Gibbs   What’s in that?
Jarod   MZT.
Gibbs   Are you crazy?
Jarod   Relax, Dan’s seal is holding.
Gibbs   It is?
Jarod   Yes. And it has been for the last 5 hours. The accident wasn’t Dan’s fault. He didn’t kill Larry Meyers.
Gibbs   Well, if he didn’t, who did?
Jarod   18 bottles of beer on the wall, 18 bottles of beer.
     
     
Computer   You have new mail.
     
     
    DSA
Young Jarod   Is this the man?
Sydney   No, no, no! The eyes are wrong. Put yourself in the mind of a police sketch artist. Think.
Young Jarod   Well, it would help if I knew who he was. Is he your father?
Sydney   No. Here. Along the middle of the right eyebrow, a spot. An imperfection. Yes. That’s it. But his eyes….
Young Jarod   Sydney, are you crying?
Sydney   Of course not.
Young Jarod   Did that man hurt you?
     
     
Jarod   Sydney’s in trouble isn’t he?
Miss Parker   How is it that you know everything that’s happening in this place?
Jarod   Intuition.
Miss Parker   We say your little drawing of Martin Zeller. Who is he?
Jarod   I don’t know exactly. But I remember how Sydney was feeling when I ran that simulation.
Miss Parker   Who is he?
Jarod   If Sydney wants to tell you, he will. Just find out where the Centre travel office has put Zeller up. Sydney will be there.
Miss Parker   How do I know this isn’t one of your boondoggles Jarod?
Jarod   If you care about Sydney at all, go alone. No Sweepers, no Cleaners. I just hope you get there in time.
Miss Parker   In time for what?
Jarod   To stop him.
     
     
Krieg   I’m starving. You should have been here 20 minutes ago. You’re late.
Sydney   You’re right. I’m very late.
     
     
Sydney   You don’t remember me. There were so many of us, you cant remember the names.
Krieg   I don’t know what your talking about. You’re a madman.
Sydney   You should hear every name. But your time has run out.
Krieg   At my age, time means nothing.
Sydney   Maybe this still does.
Krieg   Do it, if you will. Frankly, I’m tired of hiding.
Sydney   No. That’s too easy. You will hear me out.
Krieg   Ja? And then?
Sydney   Then… I will kill you.
     
     
Jarod   Who won the fight?
Todd   Man, go to hell.
Jarod   I guess you were defending him. The father that you said you don’t care about. All-Conference three years in a row. He’s proud of you. He told me.
Todd   When? Just before he tried to kill himself?
Jarod   All he was thinking about was you and your mother.
Todd   Come on man!
Jarod   He thought that by killing himself, he could stop the questions, that he would ease the pressure on both of you. I’m not saying it’s right. It’s just what he was feeling. An insect made out of metal and wire?
Todd   Fishing lure.
Jarod   Oh. Like bait.
Todd   Yeah. Dad makes them as a hobby. This is my lucky one. It got me a bite every time we went out for trout.
Jarod   I saw a picture of you and your father fishing. It looks like fun.
Todd   You never went fishing with your dad?
Jarod   I wasn’t lucky enough to know my father. You know yours. Take advantage of it. What is it?
Todd   Um… the night before, before he was on the bench with you… we had a really bad fight, and I said some stupid stuff. I told him that the accident was his fault. I told…
Jarod   What did you say?
Todd   I told him he didn’t deserve to live. I don’t want him to die. I don’t want my father to die.
     
     
Strickland   Jarod.
Jarod   I thought I’d give you a hand.
Strickland   Ah.
Jarod   I even brought you a cup of coffee.
Strickland   Ah, not so fast MIT. You’re not the only one with a chemistry degree.
Jarod   Impressive. Why is someone with your seniority and your chemistry background still doing a nasty job like transpo? You could double your salary in research and development.
Strickland   Yeah, double my migraines. Here, pull over, I gotta check on this one.
     
     
Jarod   Gotcha.
     
     
Jarod   Almost looks like an accident doesn’t it?
Gibbs   These are the release papers.
Jarod   Mm-hmm.
Gibbs   So what?
Jarod   You signed out 52 containers.
Gibbs   Yeah?
Jarod   Only 42 were buried in Nevada.
Gibbs   Where’d the other 10 go?
Jarod   Horace Strickland had them delivered to drug dealers. Strickland had a felony drug-smuggling charge on his FBI record. Heroin. My guess is he was smuggling them in the extra containers. Who would examine a label container labelled ‘hazardous’? Strickland’s bank account was getting pretty fat, minus a few payments to Larry Meyers.
Gibbs   Meyers was in on this?
Jarod   He was extorting money out of Strickland, threatening to blow the whistle on the operation. So on the day of the accident, Strickland spiked the MZT shipment so that it would eat through Dan’s new seal and eat through Larry Meyers.
     
     
    DSA
Sydney   It’s him.
Young Jarod   Who is he?
Sydney   I received a package of my family’s belongings today Jarod. It was lost for a very long time. This picture is of my brother Jacob and myself. Our First Communion.
Young Jarod   He’s your twin?
Sydney   Jacob’s all the family I have.
Young Jarod   I wish I had a family.
     
     
Sydney   Jean Mikhail lived with his family on the little farm they built near Lyon. And his work only mattered to him in so far as it helped his wife, Greta, and his two sons. Twin sons.
Krieg   Sydney.
Sydney   You do remember.
Krieg   Jakob was your brother.
Sydney   Very good, Herr Doktor. And he’s all the family I have left ’cause the rest you murdered because they were of no use to you. Who are you to pass judgement? Who? This is for Jean Mikhail, and this is for Greta!
Miss Parker   Sydney! No! Oh, my…. Who is Mr Zeller?
Sydney   There is no Zeller. This is Dr Krieg. Dr Werner Krieg. The ambitious young physician assigned to Dachau in 1944. The Nazis were testing us.
Miss Parker   Oh God.
Sydney   They were looking for ways to accelerate the reproduction of the master race. Jacob and I became Krieg’s favourite subjects. We were only children. He sent our whole family to the gas chambers so that he could have us for his experiments.
Miss Parker   Sydney, you’re not Jewish.
Sydney   I’m a twin, remember?
     
     
Jarod   Strickland, a big shipment needs transport tonight. I’m happy to help if you need me. Oh, I figured you’d want to be alone.
     
     
Strickland   Geez Jarod, you scared the wind out of me.
Jarod   Looks like we have one more item.
Strickland   That’s MZT, I don’t have any gear on.
Jarod   Neither did Larry Meyers. Or the other two victims, did they Horace?
Strickland   That’s not funny.
Jarod   Neither is death by MZT, is it? Gotcha.
Strickland   Jarod, I cant move in here.
Jarod   I would relax if I were you. You’re going to be in there for the next, oh, 20 thousand years.
Strickland   Jarod, that’s MZT.
Jarod   Mm-hmm. The deadliest pesticide in the world. Turns your insides into jelly. But it wont corrode Dan Healy’s seal, will it?
Strickland   Yes! Yes! It already did.
Jarod   Of course, because you added this to it. So you could get rid of your blackmailer, Larry Meyers and continue smuggling drugs.
Strickland   I didn’t do anything.
Jarod   You murdered three people. You framed Dan Healy. He was convinced that the only way he could protect his family was to leave his wife without a husband and his son without a father. You destroyed his life didn’t you? Didn’t you?  Didn’t you? Didn’t you?
Strickland   Yes! Yes! Now don’t do this to me.
Jarod   Why not? You did it to them.
Strickland   Jarod? Jarod? Wait! Jarod! Jarod! Jarod! Jarod! Jarod! Aah! Jarod! No! No! No! Jarod!
Jarod   Whoo! Twinkie cream. The food of the gods.
     
     
Krieg   Are you familiar with Nietzsche Doctor?
Sydney   Mm-hmm. Yes.
Krieg   You’re like the madman who runs into the marketplace screaming for God. But you’ll never find him because God is dead.
Sydney   God is dead, and you killed him.
Krieg   We are both professionals, Doctor. I know who you work for. I know the work they do, the work you do. What do you think would have happened to you and Jakob if I had not selected you? Huh? Would you be here now so full of purpose? If God is dead, we all killed him.
Miss Parker   Sydney? Do you remember the day my mother was buried? I’ll never forget that day. You made me feel safe, safer than my own father and all you did was hold my hand.
Sydney   Mnnn.
Miss Parker   Give me your gun. He is a monster. Do yourself and the world a favour.
Sydney   I cant.
Miss Parker   Why?
Sydney   Jarod. Don’t you see? I became the monster.
     
     
Dan Healy   The other day on the bench… I realise now… I did the wrong thing for all the wrong reasons.
Jarod   The important thing is you’re here now. Like someone once said, nothing’s more important than family.
Todd   Dad? I love you. This will bring you luck too.
Jarod   Thank you.
Susan   Thank you. Mnnn.
Dan Healy   Take care Twinkie Man.
     
     
    DSA
Young Jarod   I wish I had a family. What’s that Sydney?
Sydney   From the war.
Young Jarod   You were in a concentration camp?
Sydney   My brother and I were kept in a cold and dark place… for many years.
Young Jarod   Like the Centre?
Sydney   Not exactly Jarod.
Young Jarod   Did they hurt you?
Sydney   Not as much as they hurt my family. They killed them all.
Young Jarod   I’ll be your family.
     
     
Miss Parker   I just got word Syd. Dr Krieg’s been extradited to Israel. This just arrived.
Sydney   Miss Parker? Thank you.
Miss Parker   Syd? How many psychiatrists does it take to change a light bulb?
Sydney   One. But the light bulb has to want to change.
     
     
Jarod   Are you all right?
Sydney   Yes I am. All my life I have raged against him Jarod. But when I saw him the last time… I saw myself.
Jarod   You’re not a monster Sydney. And you’re still… my family. Tell me something. Have you ever been fishing?
Sydney   Why?
Jarod   Maybe we’ll go someday… just you and me.
