Directed by: Fred K. Keller
Part 1 – Jarod discovers something in a person’s genes can predispose them to be a Pretender, and tries to prevent Mr. Raines from taking a boy to be trained to replace him. Sydney devises a treatment for Angelo that returns his mind, but removes his empathy/Pretender abilities.
Jarod’s Discoveries: The Pledge of Allegiance , A drug to cure Angelo, Identity of a newly identified Pretender
Jarod’s Occupations: Fertility Specialist, Substitute Teacher
Jarod’s Aliases: Jarod Spock, Jarod Kotter
Official Synopsis
Jarod realizes the Centre intends to create another Pretender. Miss Parker discovers she may have a twin brother.
Miss Parker experiences a disturbing dream in which she recalls Fenigor’s last words, “Prodigy—the red files” (see previous episode). During the same dream, Fenigor gives Jarod an envelope and tells him, “This is where you came from.” Moments later, Jarod awakens in his bed, having experienced the same nightmare. He pours out the contents of the envelope given to him by Fenigor. Inside is a business card from the NuGenesis Family Group, a key, and a telex containing the words “the boy.” Later, Jarod visits the address listed on the telex. He speaks with a Realtor, who tells him a couple and their young son lived in the (now burned to the ground) house some thirty years ago. Shortly thereafter, Jarod takes a job with the NuGenesis Group, a fertility clinic, as the head of inseminology. His co-workers at the thirty-year-old facility include Dr. Nicholas Haring and Dr. Cynthia Dewitt. Jarod’s first patients are the Brewsters, who have been trying to conceive for years.
Meanwhile, back at the Centre, Broots realizes Mr. Raines is clearing out of his office. Gathering courage, Broots sneaks inside Raines’ office and makes off with a photograph of 25 third graders. In the meantime, Sydney begins injecting Angelo with isotopes in an effort to “unscramble” his mind. Slowly, the therapy begins producing results, and Angelo behaves in a lucid manner. Miss Parker realizes that somewhere in Angelo’s brain lies the secret to what happened to her mother. Later, Angelo e-mails Jarod a copy of the photograph. Putting the pieces together, Jarod realizes that the Centre intends to create another Pretender.
Jarod receives some unexpected help from Thomas, a janitor at NuGenesis. Using the key given him by Fenigor, Jarod recovers eight Red Files from a safe, along with some Super-8 film. Thomas recounts how Jarod’s parents had gone to the fertility clinic thirty years ago in an attempt to conceive. At the time, however, the clinic handled both reproduction and adoption… placing Jarod’s true parentage in doubt. Thomas also recognizes a mascot in the photograph of the 25 students, and identifies the school as a local elementary.
Broots discovers the existence of a security video that captured Miss Parker’s birth. As the threesome watch a monitor, Catherine Parker gives birth to her daughter, under the watchful eye of then-doctor Mr. Raines. Miss Parker is thrown for a loop when a twin brother is also delivered…one Mr. Raines declares as stillborn. Suddenly, the recording phases out, as if having been erased. Later, Mr. Raines tells his daughter that the stillborn child is buried in a small plot on Centre grounds.
Thomas gives Jarod the address of a nearby lodge where his parents stayed while they were attempting to conceive. There, Jarod meets Louis Rue, who shows him the cottage his parents rented. Jarod decides to make the cottage his new lair. Later, Jarod assumes the identity of a substitute school teacher. By assessing medical files, he identifies three students as patients of Dr. Haring (from the fertility clinic). One of the children, Jarod concludes, has the makings of a new Pretender. He arranges a set of genius blocks in front of the children and asks them to solve the formula. Jarod is temporarily distracted and, when he returns to the classroom, he finds the blocks assembled to perfection. The children laugh and point to one another when Jarod asks them to identify the student who arranged the blocks.
Angelo escapes from the Centre. Sydney tells his colleagues that if Angelo misses one injection treatment, he will permanently revert to his old self. Angelo makes his way to Jarod’s cottage, where he realizes his empathy powers are deteriorating as he recovers his mental faculties. Meanwhile, Mr. Raines arranges for Mr. Lyle to abduct the new Pretender. Broots performs further spying and accesses Raines’ private surveillance files. He discovers the rest of the surveillance video contained within. As Miss Parker watches the remainder of the video, she realizes her twin did, in fact, survive. Raines ordered that the child be transferred to the NuGenesis clinic.
With Thomas’ help, Jarod accesses blood samples of the three children from the elementary school. When the Brewsters are still unable to conceive, Jarod tricks Haring into ordering lab tests on the three blood samples, claiming they are excellent egg donor candidates. Later, Dewitt informs Jarod that one of the blood samples is perfect for a special project she is heading. Jarod realizes (through the blood work) that a young student named Davy Simpkins is the prodigy—the new Pretender. Jarod races to the boy’s home, where he is greeted by Mrs. Watanabe. She explains that she and her husband are foster parents. Watanabe also reveals that a man (Gar), whom she believed was from Child Placement, transported the child to the county airstrip. Jarod and Angelo race to the airstrip, only to see the small plane—with Davy and Gar on board—taking off.

Bloodlines Transcript
Cleaner | Now, what the hell is this? | |
Cleaner 2 | Looks like one of them medical beds, you know, for havin’ babies. | |
Cleaner | With shackles? | |
Miss Parker | Mr Fenigor, tell me who killed my mother. | |
Fenigor | The answer is in the red files. | |
Miss Parker | Red files? | |
Fenigor | Prodigy red files. | |
Jarod | What secrets are in this envelope? | |
Fenigor | This is where you came from. Prodigy, this is where you came from. Came from, came from | |
Realtor | As much as I’d like to make a sale, I have to admit, it is kinda spooky. | |
Jarod | Tell me about the fire. | |
Realtor | A family lived here at the time, a mother a father and a young son. The whole story was a tragedy. Rumour has it that the boy was stolen and the parents disappeared the night the house burned. | |
Jarod | Do you know where they went? | |
Realtor | They were renters. Property changed hands right after the fire. It’s now owned by an outfit out of Blue Cove, Delaware. Look, I’m late for work. I’d be glad to give ’em a call if you’d like to make an offer. | |
Jarod | No thank you, I’m late for work myself. | |
Dr Haring | Harvard Med, Johns Hopkins. From a medical standpoint, I’d be foolish not to hire you as head of Inseminology. Business standpoint? I think a doctor named Spock on staff could be worth a million bucks. | |
Jarod | Well I’m glad to be part of the NuGenesis family. | |
Dr Haring | Family is what this fertility clinic is all about. You might say it’s our job to make the future. | |
Woman | Dr Haring, do you have a moment? | |
Miss Parker | Mr Fenigor. I cant eat, I cant sleep. Please tell me who killed my mother. What did you mean by Prodigy? What answers are in the red files? Please help me. | |
Nurse | Miss Parker, you’re not supposed to be here. No one is. | |
Miss Parker | Has he talked? | |
Nurse | He hasn’t spoken a word since they brought him in. Opinion around here is that he never will. | |
Mrs Brewster | Well, we’ve tried in vitro, GIFT, ZIFT. We’ve literally gone around the world trying to get pregnant. | |
Mr Brewster | But NuGenesis has shown us they’re the only fertility clinic that seems to really care. | |
Dr DeWitt | Always will. | |
Dr Haring | NuGenesis prides itself on being on the cutting edge of reproductive technology. And I’m proud to say that Jarod here is on the cutting edge of all of them. | |
Mr Brewster | Can you help us? | |
Jarod | Any couple with as much love to give as you two obviously have deserve to have a child. | |
Mrs Brewster | Thank you. | |
Dr Haring | Dr DeWitt will be sharing duties as well. Anything you need, they’re here for you. | |
Dr DeWitt | A patient’s mental attitude is sometimes more important than his or her physical condition. | |
Jarod | If the mind has faith, then the body will follow. | |
Dr Haring | And it’s up to us to make sure our patients keep their faith so our science can to its job. Jeremy, run these and get the results back to Doctor Spock, stat. | |
Jeremy | Spock? Funny. | |
Dr DeWitt | For over thirty years, we’ve helped couples like the Brewsters realise the fruits of parenthood. | |
Jarod | Thirty years, long before you were born. | |
Dr DeWitt | I like this guy. | |
Dr Haring | My brother Boris would have liked him too. | |
Dr DeWitt | My father. | |
Dr Haring | And as he always said, get busy. | |
Dr DeWitt | Well, I, I’ve gotta go. | |
Jarod | I’ll catch up with you later. | |
Fenigor | Red files. This is where you came from. | |
Broots | Uh, any word out of Fenigor? | |
Miss Parker | He’s still unconscious. You look like you need to change your Pamper. | |
Broots | Uh, something, uh weird is going on with Mr Raines. | |
Miss Parker | Everything going on with that half-burnt wheezing ghoul is weird. | |
Broots | No, he’s packing up his office… to go. | |
Miss Parker | Well, find out where. And while you’re at it, find out what Prodigy means. | |
Broots | Oh, well, tha…that’s easy. A prodigy is someone extraordinary. A very talented child… | |
Miss Parker | I know what it means to Webster’s. I want to know what it means to the Centre. | |
Broots | Okay. | |
Miss Parker | So you and Sydney find out everything you can about Prodigy and something called the red files. | |
Broots | Okay, well, I’ll do what I can, but Sydney’s occupied. | |
Miss Parker | Doing what? | |
Miss Parker | Stirring Soup Head’s grey matter? | |
Sydney | I’m putting him through an experimental neuro-stimulation therapy that hopefully will unscramble Angelo’s mind. | |
Broots | Wow. | |
Miss Parker | Good luck pulling Jell-O Brains out of the deep freeze. | |
Sydney | Let’s go back to work Angelo. | |
Jeremy | What are you doing? | |
Jarod | Uh, a new blood workup on the Brewsters. I want to cross-check it with our old records. | |
Jeremy | I’m afraid you’re not allowed in here. | |
Dr DeWitt | Jeremy’s a pit bull for protocol. Hell, even I’m not allowed back here. Uncle Nicholas’ policy. | |
Jarod | I’m sorry. | |
Dr DeWitt | Infertility is a sensitive, personal issue. One reason NuGenesis has been so successful is because of trust and confidentiality. We don’t even use patient’s names. Only code numbers. Jeremy will get you anything you need. | |
Jarod | Thank you. | |
Dr DeWitt | Good night Jarod. | |
Jarod | Good night. | |
Sydney | Only four more treatments left my friend. Hope it works. | |
Angelo | Thank you Sydney. | |
Woman | It’s just gonna sting for a second. Hold it still. Keep your finger still. | |
Child | Ow! | |
Flashback | ||
Young Jarod | Ouch. | |
Dr Haring | Good morning ladies. | |
Ed | Gotta have a special pass to go up that way. | |
Jarod | A pass? | |
Ed | That’s corridor 7. You’re not allowed. | |
Jarod | Hmmm. I’m finding that there’s many places I’m not allowed around here. | |
Broots | Oh my God. | |
Raines | Make sure all of these boxes are out of my office tonight. | |
Willie | Right. | |
Raines | I’ll meet you later. | |
DSA | ||
Sydney | Hello Jarod, my name is Sydney. I’ll be taking care of you for a while. | |
Young Jarod | Why? Where are my mom and dad? | |
Sydney | Here’s a fresh bandage. | |
Young Jarod | Why? Where are my mom and dad? Mom and dad. Mom and dad. Mom and dad. | |
Flashback | ||
Girl | Ow! | |
Young Jarod | Ouch! | |
Man | I’d like you to solve a problem for me. | |
Miss Parker | If he starts singin’ “the rain in Spain,” I’m gonna pass out. | |
Sydney | Angelo’s mind is working again. We’re restoring the neuro-pathways of his memory. You know that serotonin isotope? It seems to regenerate deadened pathways. However, if he doesn’t get the entire dosage, he’ll regress permanently. | |
Miss Parker | I’m impressed Einstein but my gut tells me that Jarod had something to do with this. | |
Sydney | Jarod wanted to know what could be discovered if Angelo’s mind returned. The potential is unlimited. I believe he can even play the piano. | |
Angelo | Music. | |
Broots | What’s going on? | |
Miss Parker | Cousin It woke up and remembered he was Liberace. | |
Sydney | He must have learned to play that as a child. Information his mind has been absorbing for a lifetime is starting to reemerge. | |
Broots | This is the icing on a very freaky cake. | |
Miss Parker | What are you babbling about? | |
Broots | I found this in Raines’ office. He had 20 more in a file on his desk. A desk, which incidentally, I hid under for over an hour. Hiding was bad enough, but I had to watch while Raines did, you know, personal stuff. | |
Sydney | What could have been so awful? | |
Broots | He, uh, he changed his pants. | |
Miss Parker | Oh, thanks for that. | |
Sydney | Why is Raines packing and moving? | |
Miss Parker | And why does the freak have 20 photographs of the same school children? | |
Angelo | Red files. He cant be doing it again, not again! | |
Sydney | Angelo? Easy, Angelo. | |
Miss Parker | He said red files. | |
Broots | Then if.. if he’s getting hismemory back, he… he must know something about them. | |
Miss Parker | If that’s true, then somewhere in that demented mind he might know who killed my mother. | |
Broots | Miss Parker. | |
Computer | You have mail. | |
Flashback | ||
Fenigor | This is where you came from. Red files. | |
Realtor | Rumour has it that the boy was stolen. | |
Young Jarod | Where are my mom and dad? | |
Jarod | Oh my God, they’re doing it again. They’re going to take another child. The Centre’s going to make another Pretender. | |
Jarod | I thought the Pretender program was discontinued years ago Sydney. | |
Sydney | Calm down Jarod, calm down. | |
Jarod | They stole me from my parents and now they’re trying to steal another child, aren’t they? | |
Sydney | I’m not sure, but recent events make me feel you may be right, yes. | |
Jarod | And what are you going to do this time? Are you just going to sit by and let it happen again? | |
Sydney | Jarod, please. I think Angelo may hold some answers. | |
Jarod | Are the treatments working? | |
Sydney | Yes. He saw something that seemed to trigger a bad memory. | |
Jarod | I know how he feels. | |
Broots | He’s over here. | |
Sydney | Angelo. | |
mo | What’s wrong with him? | |
Sydney | Angelo needs to receive his treatment at specifically timed intervals. Come now friend. | |
Angelo | Answers below. | |
Miss Parker | What is Prodigy Angelo? | |
Angelo | Answers below. | |
Broots | He’s pointing to the floor below us, Sublevel 27. Inception. | |
Miss Parker | Another birthing table. | |
Sydney | It’s a delivery room. | |
Miss Parker | Oh my God, they’re recreating this place. | |
Broots | What? Oh, come on, let’s get out of here. | |
Miss Parker | Broots. | |
Angelo | Answers here. | |
Miss Parker | Find the security camera archives that belong to this room. Anything and everything. | |
Broots | Yes ma’am. | |
Angelo | Answers. | |
Miss Parker | Syd, give Angelo his next treatment. Find out what else is in his head. He may be the treasure trove I’ve been looking for. | |
Flashback | ||
Sydney | My name is Sydney, I’ll be taking care of you for a while. | |
Young Jarod | Why? Where are my mom and dad? | |
Ed | If you’re lookin’ for information, the way you’re goin’ about it, you’re gonna get caught. If you want help, I’ll help you. | |
Jarod | Why should I trust you? | |
Ed | Because your mother did. | |
Ed | I’ve polished floors in this place for over 30 years. I’ve seen a lot of people come and go. Their hearts in their hands filled with love they wanted to share with a child. Your parents were like that. | |
Jarod | How did you know them? | |
Ed | They were here over six months tryin’ for a baby. Your mother treated me with respect. I saw her a year or so later. I’ll never forget the gleam she had in her eyes when she showed me her baby boy. Same gleam that’s in yours. That’s what hurts so much. | |
Jarod | Hurts? | |
Ed | I saw them a few years later. She was scared, on the run. Somebody had stolen her boy. My guess is that was you. | |
Jarod | I’ve been searching for them. | |
Ed | Part of your pain is because of me. See I told Dr Boris what she said. There was a lot of weird stuff goin’ on in Corridor 7 back then with kids. Testing and stuff. Dr Boris paid me to forget about it. The weird stuff stopped, Dr Boris died and everything went away. | |
Jarod | Until what? | |
Ed | A while back, it started up again. Kids, testing. And then you showed up. | |
Jarod | Do you recognise any of these children? | |
Ed | It’s a local elementary school. | |
Jarod | One of these children is going to be taken just like I was. I may need your help to stop it. | |
Ed | I owe you that much. And your mother. | |
Jarod | Thank you. | |
Angelo | There is no Timmy. From now on, his name be Angelo. | |
Miss Parker | He’s remembering what Raines told my mother after he fried his brain. | |
Sydney | I’m afraid he’s remembering too quickly. | |
Miss Parker | Well, cut his dosage or something. I don’t want him to pop before he can answer my questions. | |
Sydney | It cant be done. The treatment is given in specific stages that cant be interrupted. Any break in the schedule means the new pathways in his system will atrophy. | |
Miss Parker | And if they do? | |
Sydney | Angelo will regress to his previous self. Permanently. Angelo? | |
Miss Parker | There is no more Timmy. From now on, he shall be known as Angelo. | |
Willie | Get me Mr Raines. | |
Ed | I stored Dr Boris’ stuff down here Jarod. If he kept the red files anywhere, there’s only one place it would be. You ain’t are you? | |
Jarod | Maybe today, I don’t have to be. | |
Ed | Did you find something? | |
Jarod | Yes, me. And the red files. | |
Ed | What’s it say in there about you? | |
Jarod | It’s all impersonal. Blood type, blood scans, height, weight. It’s all medical. Except for one thing. Destination. | |
Ed | Destination? | |
Jarod | It’s blacked out. | |

Man | I’d like you to solve a problem for me. | |
Jarod | I was here. | |
Young Jarod | Pi times the square root of 931 divided by the radius of the circle. | |
Man | Very good Jarod, you’re very special. | |
Young Jarod | Where are my mom and dad? | |
Broots | You wont believe what I found. | |
Miss Parker | What? | |
Broots | Security videos logged into the mainframe that corresponds with the inception room. | |
Miss Parker | And? | |
Broots | A visual record classified under “Catherine Parker.” | |
Miss Parker | What? | |
Broots | It’s from the day you were born. | |
DSA | ||
Raines | Keep pushing. | |
Sydney | It’s your birth. | |
Miss Parker | Ew! This is too weird. | |
Broots | Oh well, it’s just beginning. | |
Raines | Here it comes, here it comes. | |
Miss Parker | Is that… | |
Sydney | The then Dr Raines. | |
Miss Parker | Raines delivered me? | |
Broots | Spanks your bottom in a second. | |
Miss Parker | I’m going to puke. | |
Raines | It’s a girl. | |
Miss Parker | I can’t believe he saw me nude. | |
Raines | Okay Catherine, the next one is coming and coming quick. | |
Miss Parker | Next one? Sydney what’s going on? | |
Sydney | It appears you didn’t arrive alone. | |
Raines | There’s trouble with the boy. Nurse! | |
Miss Parker | Syd? | |
Catherine | What’s wrong with him? Tell me what’s wrong with him. | |
Miss Parker | What else is on that? | |
Broots | The tape ends there. Either cut off or edited. | |
Miss Parker | Or erased, so no one would find out the truth. I had a brother. | |
Jarod | I feel like I’ve found the treasure chest and inside there’s only dust. | |
Ed | Well, sometimes answers lead to more questions. But for what it’s worth I do remember what your parent’s first names were. | |
Jarod | Margaret and Charles. | |
Ed | Yeah. Which is still not to say they were your biological parents. | |
Jarod | What do you mean? | |
Ed | Back in those days this was also an adoption agency, not just a reproduction centre. Dr Boris headed up adoptions and Dr Nicholas ran conceptions. | |
Jarod | Another dead end. | |
Ed | Maybe not. | |
Jarod | Oakview 555 6507. | |
Ed | The old Oakview Lodge near Stone Mountain. Your parents used to stay there when they were here. Could be treasure, could be dust. | |
Mr Parker | Yes, just let me know when it’s done will you? I don’t want any excuses. And… Angel. | |
Miss Parker | That thing have a stop button? | |
Mr Parker | Ah, oh. Indulge me my parental pride but you do look exquisite sitting there. Someday you will, permanently. Parents always wants what’s best for their children. Of course, you’ll know that feeling… | |
Miss Parker | How dare you. | |
Mr Parker | What? | |
Miss Parker | Why didn’t you tell me I had a twin? | |
Mr Parker | We…. your mother and I… wanted to spare you unnecessary pain. I was away when you were both born. He died before he ever lived. We buried him, but not the pain. | |
Miss Parker | Pain or not, I have a right to know I had a brother. | |
Mr Parker | Angel. | |
Miss Parker | No daddy. | |
Mr Parker | Parents make mistakes too. He’s in a small plot here on the Centre grounds. Area 66, I can take you there. | |
Miss Parker | No, I’d,… I’d rather find it myself. | |
Louis | You take one more step, I’m gonna blow your head off. | |
Jarod | I would settle for a no vacancy sign. | |
Louis | I’m so sorry. It’s just that we’ve had a scad of burglaries around here lately. What with the hour and all, I just didn’t think anybody was gonna be checking in. | |
Jarod | Are you the owner? | |
Loius | Yeah, Louis “King” Rue. Innkeeper to the stars. Well, you can name your pleasure. I got mountain view, lake view. I even got one room my old man used to tell people Jeff Davis slept in. | |
Jarod | Did you grow up here? | |
Loius | I grew old, never up. | |
Jarod | Loius, do you recognise this woman? | |
Loius | Oh my lord, you must be Baby Jarod. I’ll never forget the winter I met your parents. You know that lake view I mentioned? Well that thing froze over, and I went out on it. Broke through, your dad rushed in and saved my hide. | |
Jarod | What is it? | |
Loius | Well, it’s funny. You don’t look like either one of your folks. This cottage right here was theirs. Let’s go take a look. Well, this is it. Hope that light’s workin’. Well, it’s uh…. it’s not much, but your dad loved the view… Major Charles. That’s what I called your dad on account of his air force uniform. | |
Jarod | Air force. | |
Loius | Yeah, he was a pilot. He and your mom used to set out on this porch watch the sun rise every morning. They really loved each other. | |
Jarod | Loius? | |
Loius | Yeah. | |
Jarod | I would like to stay here for a little while if you don’t mind. | |
Loius | Make yourself at home. Hell, you’re sort of family. | |
Jarod | Good morning class, my name is Jar… uh Mr Kotter and I will be your substitute teacher for Miss Markam today. Well the first order of business is we will divide up into small groups and we will… Yes Ari. | |
Ari | We always start with the Pledge of Allegiance. | |
Jarod | Yes, I… I’ve heard of that. Uh…. why don’t you lead us off today? | |
Class | I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the republic for which it stands one nation under God, indivisible with liberty and justice for all. | |
Jarod | That’s it? That’s… that’s it. Okay, now we are going to divide up into groups. As I call your name, please move to the table I assign you. Table number one, Albert Williams, Ari Thompson and Davy Simpkins. Table two…. | |
Jarod | Tyrannosaurus Rex, very good. I would like you to solve this problem for me. | |
Davy | Cant we just cut out dinosaurs like the other kids? | |
Jarod | Class, uh, work quietly for a moment. I’ll be right back. | |
Miss Parker | Where is Angelo? | |
Sydney | He has escaped from the Centre. “In finding Timmy, you set Angelo free.” | |
Broots | Ohh. | |
Sydney | “Thank you Sydney.” | |
Broots | That’s… that’s beautiful. Isn’t it? | |
Miss Parker | I hope you’re proud of yourself Syd. Great! While Algernon is out there picking flowers and you two ponder your navels, I’m left with bubkes. And you just wait till Raines finds out. | |
Broots | Well, does… does Angelo know how to take the serum? | |
Sydney | I hope so, he has three treatments left. He misses one and he’ll regress to old Angelo. Permanently. | |
Miss Parker | And what he knows will be lost forever. | |
Kid | Thank you daddy. Bye. | |

Young Jarod | Pi times the square root of 931 divided by the radius of the circle. | |
Jarod | Which one of you did this? | |
Ari | He did it. | |
Davy | Aw, you’re lyin’. | |
Raines | Seven red files. These were just found by a sweeper team in Angelo’s space. | |
Mr Parker | Angelo? | |
Raines | We’re still searching. You know the ramifications if this information ever got out. I want your blessing to accelerate Prodigy to ensure it’s success. | |
Mr Parker | Get the new one now. | |
Raines | Go, bring us the child. | |
Jarod | Loius? Angelo! Angelo. | |
Angelo | I got here as quick as I could. | |
Jarod | It’s so good to see you, the real you. | |
Angelo | It’s good to be me. Thank you Jarod. | |
Jarod | It’s a big world out here. My parents stayed in this room a long time ago. Now it feels like it’s me I’m searching for. | |
Angelo | Wonder if I’ll ever know my parents. | |
Jarod | You’re in the red files too. There are answers Angelo. We just have to find them. | |
Angelo | This is Timmy now. | |
Jarod | What is it? | |
Angelo | I heard that your brother died. It feels sad to know that. | |
Jarod | Yes it does. It feels… it feels sad. These blocks… they were used by the child that the Centre wants. If you could just feel something that would tell us who it is. | |
Angelo | Um…. Timmy feels nothing. | |
Jarod | No, Angelo did. | |
Angelo | Time for my treatment. | |

Young Jarod | Ouch! | |
Sydney | You’re a very special little boy Jarod. | |
Fenigor | Red files. | |
Miss Parker | Red files? | |
Fenigor | Red files. | |
Girl | Ow! | |
Fenigor | Prodigy, this is where you came from. | |
Jarod | We’re all special because of what’s in our blood. | |
Ed | Three colour coded samples as requested. Albert Williams, Ari Thompson, Davy Simpkins. All three have blood samples on file. | |
Jarod | How did you get past Jeremy? | |
Ed | Nothing as invisible as a man with a mop. What are you going to do with ’em? | |
Jarod | Chum the waters… and wait till the sharks come. | |
Jarod | I’m sorry. | |
Dr DeWitt | Come on, let’s go to your room. | |
Mrs Brewster | Okay. | |
Mr Brewster | I don’t know how much more disappointment she can take. | |
Jarod | How are you holding up? | |
Mr Brewster | First time we started talking about adoption. The process takes forever. We just want a chance to raise a child. | |
Jarod | I’m sure you’ll get that chance. | |
Dr Haring | Morning Jarod. | |
Jarod | Good morning Dr Haring. | |
Dr Haring | I take it the Brewsters aren’t pregnant? | |
Jarod | No, not yet. Although I have found three excellent egg donor candidates. | |
Dr Haring | Has the lab analyses these yet? | |
Jarod | Not yet, but considering Mrs Brewster’s cycle, I’d like to get on it right away. | |
Dr Haring | Jeremy. I want a complete workup on these immediately. | |
Jeremy | So it shall be written, so it shall be done. | |
Dr Haring | Let’s hope we find what we’re looking for. | |
Jarod | Yes, let’s. | |
Jeremy | Doctor, there’s something you should see. | |
Miss Parker | Tell me you found Angelo. | |
Broots | No, uh, but I found something else. I think maybe Sydney should show it to you. I… I… I’ll just take a little break. | |
Miss Parker | Broots. Last time I saw that look, Bambi’s mother was in my crosshairs. | |
Broots | Well, I’ve been hitting dead ends on this birthing thing so this morning I helped myself to Raines’ moving boxes, wherein I found some personal surveillance files. | |
Miss Parker | Twice in three days. | |
Sydney | Broots found something you need to see Miss Parker. Sit down. | |
Miss Parker | I’ll stand. | |
Broots | Uh, it’s more of your birthing record. | |

Catherine | What’s wrong with him? | |
Raines | I’m sorry Catherine, your second child is stillborn. Standard postnatal procedure for the baby girl and sedation for Catherine in Recovery. | |
Nurse | Yes doctor. | |
Miss Parker | Oh my God, he was alive | |
Raines | The male baby’s ready for transportation to NuGenesis. | |
Broots | What’s NuGenesis? | |
Raines | Yes. | |
Miss Parker | I have a brother out there. | |
Dr DeWitt | Jarod! | |
Jarod | Is something wrong? | |
Dr DeWitt | I found these lab results in the donor bin. Three blood samples. I need to contact one of them right away. | |
Jarod | Did you find a perfect donor? | |
Dr DeWitt | Well, unfortunately not for the Brewsters. But it is a perfect match for a special project I’m heading up. What Dr Haring doesn’t know right? Um anyway, the sooner you can get me the contact number on this subject, the better. | |
Jarod | I’ll do my best. | |
Dr DeWitt | Thanks. | |
Jarod | Davy Simpkins. | |
and | Is this Davy’s house? | |
Jarod | Well, it’s the right address anyway. Hello, I’m sorry to bother you. My name is Jarod Spock, and I’m looking for Davy Simpkins. | |
Mrs Watanabe | You just missed him. | |
Jarod | He does live here? | |
Mrs Watanabe | Did, we’re Davy’s foster parents. Or we were. They found him a permanent home. He just left. | |
Jarod | They? | |
Mrs Watanabe | The man from Child Placement, Davy called him the Snowman. | |
Jarod | Snowman? | |
Mrs Watanabe | Because of his hair. It was solid white. | |
Jarod | Raines’ cleaner Gar. | |
Mrs Watanabe | Is something wrong. | |
Jarod | Did he tell you where he was taking Davy? | |
Mrs Watanabe | I assume to the county airstrip. |
