Behind the scenes insights and the Creator’s Take

Official Synopsis

Jarod attempts to prevent the Centre from turning a young boy into a new Pretender. Miss Parker searches for the identity of her twin brother.

 

In this continuation of the previous episode… Jarod telephones Sydney and informs him that Gar kidnapped Davy.  Meanwhile, Miss Parker shows her father the surveillance footage of her mother, Catherine, giving birth to her twin brother.  When Miss Parker exits her father’s office, she secretly takes with her Fenigor’s red files.  As Sydney examines the files, Broots raises the possibility that Jarod is Miss Parker’s twin brother.  Eventually the threesome determine that Fenigor transported the children to the Centre, with a stopover in Charleston, South Carolina.  A barely conscious Fenigor reveals that more answers can be found in an eighth red file, hidden in sublevel 27.  Meanwhile, at Angel Manor in South Carolina, Mr. Raines, Dewitt and Gar observe as Davy undergoes neuro-pathway stimulation.

Angelo’s memories of his abduction resurface.  He recalls being transported to Angel Manor.  Coupled with information from Sydney, Jarod makes his way to South Carolina and, with Angelo’s assistance, rescues Davy.  Later, both Sydney and Jarod realize that the boy’s exposure to neural receptors is much the same process used on Angelo, only more technologically advanced.  Jarod hopes that the same isotope treatment used on Angelo could be applied to Davy.  Sydney tells Jarod he has less than three hours to synthesize the serum before Davy’s condition becomes irreversible.

Jarod uses NuGenesis equipment to create new serum.  His work is interrupted by Gar and Dewitt.  A struggle ensues, and during the confusion, the serum vial falls out of Jarod’s pocket and rolls towards nearby steps.  Thomas intercedes, grabbing one of Gar’s guns.  Jarod escapes, but Thomas is mortally wounded by Gar.

When Jarod arrives at the cottage, he is surprised by Miss Parker, who levels a gun at him.  Jarod attempts to disarm Parker by referring to her as “sis.”  He explains that, years earlier, the Centre ran tests on eight children.  An anomaly in their blood predisposed them to have “the gift” which identified them as Pretender material.  Miss Parker was the eighth child in the test.  Jarod maintains he is not Miss Parker’s brother.  He has narrowed the candidates down to two: Angelo and Mr. Lyle.  He and Angelo convince Parker to allow them to inject Davy with the serum.  Suddenly, Louis, the cottage owner, kicks down the door, shotgun in hand.  He inadvertently dislodges the vial from Miss Parker’s hand, and it smashes onto the floor.  Moments later, Louis apologizes for his action.  Without the serum, Davy cannot be saved.  In an act of self-sacrifice, Angelo insists that the boy be injected with his dosage.  Jarod realizes it is the only way to save Davy, and reluctantly loads a syringe with the serum.  Later, Angelo tells Miss Parker that a man in a dark suit shot and killed her mother, Catherine, years earlier.  He believes Fenigor knows the identity of the killer.  Shortly thereafter, Gar and Willie burst through the door, their guns drawn.

Gar, Willie and Miss Parker transport Jarod, Angelo and Davy to the airport at gun point.  Angelo fakes a spasm, distracting Willie long enough to plunge a syringe into his leg.  During the confusion, Jarod escorts Davy onto the awaiting plane and pushes the pilot down the steps.  Gar glares at Miss Parker for her inaction and walks away as the plane taxis down the runway.  Jarod brings Davy to the Brewsters, who were unable to conceive, and convinces them to adopt the boy.

Fed up with the Centre and its plan to create another Pretender, Sydney plants a high explosive in Sublevel 27.  Meanwhile, Miss Parker makes her way to Fenigor’s room in the infirmary at the Centre.  She is surprised by Jarod who, like herself, wishes to find out the truth about the past.  Moments before drifting into unconsciousness, Fenigor identifies the man in the dark suit as “YYYYYY.”  Parker, her nerves on end, draws her weapon and attempts to take Jarod into custody.  But Jarod eludes capture, making his way through Sublevel 27.  An alarm sounds, and Mr. Raines and Mr. Parker join Miss Parker, who has Jarod at gun point.  Suddenly, Sydney and Broots appear, warning of the bomb.  The device detonates, shooting a fireball down the corridor.

Bloodlines Transcript

 

Jarod   Where is he?
Sydney   Who?
Jarod   The child. Prodigy.
Sydney   They must have set up a relay, a safe house before the boy arrives here.
Jarod   I’m not going to lose him Sydney.
Sydney   What are you going to do?
Jarod   I have doors of my own to open.
     
     
Mr Parker   How are you Angel? Sweetheart?
Miss Parker   Tell me about my brother.
Mr Parker   I thought we already dealt with that.
Miss Parker   He didn’t die at birth.
Mr Parker   What, what are you saying? What are you doing there?
     
     
    DSA
Catherine   What’s wrong with him? Tell me what’s wrong with him.
Raines   I’m sorry Catherine, your second child is stillborn. The male baby’s ready for transportation to NuGenesis.
     
     
Miss Parker   Daddy. Hey, you didn’t know about this.
Mr Parker   How, how can you even ask me that?
Miss Parker   Raines.
Mr Parker   I’ll take care of this. Are you all right?
Miss Parker   I will be once we find my brother.
Mr Parker   In a way, it’s a gift.
Miss Parker   A gift?
Mr Parker   I… i have a son.
     
     
Angelo   Sun feels good. Warm. Free.
Jarod   When I first escaped the Centre I used to take these long walks in the sunshine. I couldn’t breathe deep enough to fill my lungs.
Angelo   I remember when I was small before they locked me away under the world. I remember….
Jarod   What do you remember?
Angelo   Music.
     
     
Jarod   Angelo, do you remember anything about where you were taken, before they locked you under the world?
Angelo   Cant remember. Time for medicine.
Jarod   Two more treatments. Maybe this will help you to remember. We have to remember, for the boy.
Angelo   For they boy.
     
     
Broots   Nothing on the mainframe about a safe house?
Sydney   Mmm mnn. Fenigor’s red files.
Miss Parker   All seven. I found them in my father’s office.
Broots   You stole them from your… Mr Parker?
Miss Parker   Is that a problem?
Broots   Not for you.
Miss Parker   Fenigor said the answers are in these files.
Sydney   They’re designated by code numbers only.
Broots   Do you think one of these files could have something to do with Jarod?
Miss Parker   What are you getting at?
Broots   No one knows how old Jarod is. And if your twin was taken to NuGenesis, do you think maybe Jarod could be your brother?
Sydney   The answer’s at NuGenesis.
     
     
Raines   I wanna see the boy.
 Gar   He’s upstairs sleeping. You can see him on the monitor.
Raines   Neuro-pathway stimulation in progress.
Dr DeWitt   And progressing smoothly.
Gar   Shouldn’t we get back to the Centre?
Dr DeWitt   He cant be moved yet.
Raines   This treatment is predicated on a strict timetable. By morning he’ll be ready for transport.
Davy   Where am I?
     
     
Broots   The 10-digit number? It’s under the expediter. They’re the same on all seven files.
Sydney   Try running them as an ID number.
Broots   Oh man.
Sydney   What is it? You were right Syd. The number is an identification code for the expediter who brought the children to the Centre.
Sydney   And?
Broots   And you’re not gonna believe who it is.
     
     
Sydney   Fenigor, Fenigor. Fenigor, wake up man. I need to know about Prodigy.
Fenigor   Red files. The children. Catherine, we couldn’t have saved them.
Sydney   I have to know where the children were taken before they were brought to SL 27.
Fenigor   Ch… Charleston.
Sydney   Charleston, South Carolina.
Fenigor   Blue box, inception.
Broots   Inception, that’s the room in SL 27. Are there more computer files there?
Fenigor   Answer red files. Eighth file.
Broots   Eighth file? Sydney, there’s only supposed to be seven files.
     
     
Jarod   That’s beautiful.
Angelo   People where I grew up played that when I was little.
Jarod   I need you to remember when you were taken. I know it’s hard. There’s a little boy out there in danger.
Angelo   Like I was?
Jarod   Just like you.
     
     
    Flashback
Angelo   There were men.
Jarod   Where did they take you?
Angelo   A house.
    Flashback
Angelo   A glass house.
Jarod   Tell me about this house.
Angelo   Big. Dark.
Jarod   What else do you see?
    Flashback
Angelo   A statue.
    Flashback
Jarod   What kind of statue?
Angelo   A lady. An angel. The sign said Angel Manor.
Jarod   Angel Manor. Thank you. Thank you. Yes.
Sydney   Charleston, South Carolina, that’s all I know.
Jarod   Thank you Sydney.
     
     
Raines   The first treatment is almost done.
Gar   What exactly are you doin’ to the boy?
Raines   Helping to prepare him for his future.
Gar   As what?
Raines   A Pretender. His bloodlines show the gift. I’m helping to focus his potential.
Gar   Like you did with Angelo?
Raines   Angelo was a mistake, trial and error. With the new technology, I’ll be able to focus the neuro-stimulation to the parts of his brain I want to hyper-develop.
Gar   Is that what you did to create Jarod?
Raines   No, Jarod was a natural Pretender. I’m merely trying to recreate him. What was that? Willie. Willie!
Willie   What is it?
Raines   Over there!
Gar   Angelo crawled into the storm drain.
     
     
Dr DeWitt   Get the generator on now. Mr Raines, the power’s out.
Raines   Get back to the boy now!
     
     
Raines   Jarod.
     
     
Jarod   How is he?
Angelo   They hurt him like they did me! Like they did me!
     
     
Jarod   Tell me how long he has. Basic motor skills have diminished and he’s been unresponsive to external stimuli for hours.
Sydney   What did you see that the Angel Manor?
Jarod   Neuro-receptors.
Sydney   That’s the very same process Raines used on Angelo.
Jarod   Well, there’s one ray of hope. Angelo’s treatment seems to have worked.
Sydney   He’s with you?
Jarod   Yes. And I’m hoping the same treatment can be used on Davy.
Sydney   It could. But Raines’ new process will be much harder to reverse, if possible at all. The brain is an unforgiving area Jarod. Time’s against you.
Jarod   So, you’re saying that if we don’t counteract Raines’ treatment, Davy’s degeneration could be irreversible.
Sydney   It will be. You have three hours or less to synthesise the new serum.
Jarod   I wont let them do it again.
Sydney   Jarod, there’s something else you should know. It’s about you, you and Miss Parker.
     
     
Broots   Do you think it’s true, that Jarod is Miss Parker’s brother?
Sydney   If Fenigor is right, the answers are in here.
Broots   Well, maybe we’ll find the blue boxes in the junk somewhere. Hello nurse. There it is Syd. I got it. You know this is one Rubik’s Cube I don’t know if I want to solve. Maybe if I don’t decrypt the information on it, I might even be able to sleep nights.
     
     
Broots   Syd. I found it.
     
     
Ed   How much longer?
Jarod   Ten minutes. Thank you for getting me in here.
Ed   Save it till I get you out.
     
     
Angelo   I know you can hear me. I’ve been where you are Davy. I’ve been you. Uh…. uh, um… Jarod’s going to make everything all right. Uh…. uh… Jarod’s gonna make it all right.
     
     
Ed   Are you sure this stuff’s gonna help that boy?
Jarod   If he gets it in time.
Ed   I cant believe I let this happen again.
Jarod   This isn’t your fault.
Ed   But you were Jarod. In all these years, I’ve been askin’ God for forgiveness.
Jarod   Well, I don’t know about God’s, but you have mine.
     
     
Louis   Hello, Oakview Lodge.
     
     
Jarod   It’s clear.
Ed   Come on.
Jarod   Thank you for giving me a little piece of my past.
Ed   And thank you for giving me peace of mind. Good luck.
Dr DeWitt   Where’s the boy?
Jarod   He’s safe.
Gar   Unlike you. Sorry. Get up.
Ed   Let him go. Go Jarod.
Jarod   You have no idea what you’re getting yourself into.
Ed   This is my chance to make it right. Go, for the boy.
Jarod   NO!
Gar   Damn it!
     
     
Broots   Oh man, all seven red files. Plus the eighth, just like Fenigor said.
Sydney   Does it say if they’re brother and sister?
Broots   Oh, you’re not gonna believe what it says.
     
     
Jarod   Angelo! Angelo! I’ve got it.
Miss Parker   It’s not the kid you need to worry about.
Jarod   Well, it’s good to see you again…. sis.
Miss Parker   How do you know I have a brother? You’ve got the red files too?
Jarod   Mr Fenigor was right about Prodigy, our bloodlines and the lies the Centre fed us.
Miss Parker   What are you saying? That you’re my….
Jarod   There were eight red files.
Miss Parker   Eight?
Jarod   Each of these files represents one of the children the Centre isolated as a potential Pretender. There were seven children your mother tried to save. But the secret to your past is in the eighth file. The eighth child.
Miss Parker   You’ve got my attention.
Jarod   NuGenesis monitored these eight children for the Centre. they screened them. You see, there’s a special anomaly in our blood in our genetics, that predisposes us with the gift.
Miss Parker   What is the big secret of number eight?
Jarod   Number eight is you.
Miss Parker   My blood was tested?
Jarod   Yours and your fraternal twin brother, who supposedly died at birth. Instead he was whisked off to NuGenesis. I’ve narrowed your brother’s identity down to these two files.
Miss Parker   One of those belong to you?
Jarod   No. I’m not your brother. But one of these files does belong to him.
Miss Parker   Him?
Jarod   And the other to a boy named Bobby. But you know him better as….. Mr Lyle.
Miss Parker   So you’re telling me that my brother is either a psychotic killer or Mush Head?
Jarod   It’s unmistakable.
Miss Parker   I need a drink. A big one. That him?
Jarod   His name is Davy.
Miss Parker   Raines’ new Pretender.
Jarod   As you can see, Raines already has a jump on it. Now, Davy’s only hope for recovery is this injection of serotonin. And if I don’t give it to him now, his condition becomes irreversible.
Miss Parker   No one’s doing anything until I figure out what the hell’s goin’ on.
Jarod   If you wanna shoot me, then go ahead and do it.
Miss Parker   False bravado, never cared for that in a man.
Angelo   Help us! Your mom, maybe my mom, died trying to save children like Davy. Do it for her.
Miss Parker   Do it.
Louis   I heard shots. You all right?
Jarod   Oh my God.
Miss Parker   What can we do?
Jarod   Nothing. It’s over.
Angelo   No it’s not.
Jarod   Angelo, that’s your last treatment. Without it you…
Angelo   He’s a boy. Let him be a boy. Please?
     
     
Broots   Sydney, this is more than I can take. Stolen kids, stillborn babies that aren’t. Miss Parker’s brother. I mean, reactivating SL 27.
Sydney   It’s my fault. I should have put a stop to this years ago.
Broots   Come on Syd, what could you have done?
Sydney   I could have tried. Catherine Parker tried. Fenigor tried.
Broots   Yes, and she’s dead and he soon will be.
Sydney   No deader than I’ll feel inside if I don’t try now.
Broots   Come on Syd, I mean what could you possibly do? Syd? Syd? Wait a minute.
     
     
Louis   Hey. That lady with the legs? She throws a wicked right hook.
Jarod   It’s difficult to distinguish between her bite and her bark.
Louis   I reckon so. Look at this. I found this stashed away in my parent’s belongings. It’s an early one of you. I remember your dad takin’ it. It was on a mornin’ just like today.
Jarod   Do you know if I was their child? Or if I was adopted?
Louis   No. I just know they loved you very much.
Davy   Where am I?
Jarod   You’re safe.
Davy   Aren’t you the substitute teacher?
Jarod   Yeah, yes I am. Yes I am. And you’re going to be home… soon.
Davy   I like this song.
Jarod   Me too.
     
     
Miss Parker   Is it possible?
Angelo   Maybe.
Miss Parker   I wish I could have known you, the real you.
Angelo   I wish I could have known the real you.
Miss Parker   Mom loved that song. She’d play it for me.
Angelo   Tell me… about her.
Miss Parker   Well… they say she looked…
Angelo   Just like you.
Miss Parker   Yeah. Her smile made me feel safe. Her compassion… I can only dream of duplicating. She loved to read to me, take long walks with me. She loved me, and I loved her. I miss her every day.
Angelo   Do you see her every day?
Miss Parker   I know you don’t have much time, but… do you remember something, anything that could tell me who killed her? Who killed Mom? I know it’s in there… somewhere.
Angelo   I saw… I… watched.
     
    Flashback
Catherine   No!
     
     
Angelo   A man.
Miss Parker   What man?
     
     
Catherine   No!
     
     
Miss Parker   What man?
     
     
Catherine   Leave me alone!
     
     
Angelo   The man in the dark suit.
Miss Parker   Who?
Angelo   I don’t know. Fenigor knows.
Miss Parker   Yes. Yes. But I hoped you did too.
Angelo   She played for you! I play for you.
Miss Parker   That was beautiful.
     
     
Raines   I want a 24 hour lockdown on all personnel for security checks and final test runs. No one in or out. Is that clear? Raines.
Gar   This is Gar. I’m at NuGenesis. I know where they are and who’s with them.
Raines   Then we’re back in business.
Sydney   In 12 hours, I’m putting you out of business.
     
     
Jarod   He’s okay to travel now. We have to move.
Miss Parker   I can’t let you leave Jarod, you know that.
Jarod   Is this what your mother would have done?
Gar   It’s time to go home.
     
     
Davy   Where are you taking me?
Jarod   It doesn’t have to be this way. New blood for the Centre. Your mother would be so proud of you.
Miss Parker   Save it!
Jarod   I saw your face when Angelo gave up his last treatment for Davy.
Miss Parker   Keep moving.
Gar   Let’s go.
Jarod   Angelo. Are you all right?
Miss Parker   What’s wrong with him?
     
     
Miss Parker   Get off of me! Jarod! Jarod!
Angelo   Save Davy.
Miss Parker   Angelo.
Gar   Guess your gun jammed huh?
Angelo   Davy free.
Miss Parker   Miss Parker still in hell.
     
     
Mr Brewster   We can’t accept this.
Jarod   Mr Brewster, creating a whole new life doesn’t come cheap. Believe me. That should cover everything that Davy, your new family is going to ever need. If you don’t want to do this, I’ll understand.
Mr Brewster   Well, if what you’ve told us is true Davy’s gonna need all the love he can get. Is that your family?
Jarod   It will be. Someday.
     
     
Sydney   His regression is complete and irreversible. I’m sorry.
Miss Parker   Will he remember anything?
Sydney   Well, he’ll remember all that’s important. Where are you going?
Miss Parker   Unfinished business.
     
     
Miss Parker   Mr Fenigor. Mr Fenigor.
Fenigor   Oh, Catherine.
Miss Parker   No, I’m her daughter.
Fenigor   Oh, oh.
Miss Parker   My mother… isn’t here.
Jarod   She is… in spirit.
Miss Parker   How’d you get back into the Centre?
Jarod   The same way I’m going to get out.
Miss Parker   If you get out. Why’d you come?
Jarod   I want to know who I am. And I’d rather die trying to find out that live not knowing. He’s slipping in and out. My parents, tell me about my parents.
Miss Parker   Who killed my mother?
Fenigor   The man in the dark suit. The man in the dark suit.
Miss Parker   Who is the man in the dark suit?
Fenigor   The man who killed your mother.
Miss Parker   Who is he?
Fenigor   Jarod’s father.
Miss Parker   Jarod!
     
     
Miss Parker   Ohhh! Oh!
     
     
Sydney   What’s that Broots?
Broots   It’s the security alarm. It’s in SL 27.
Sydney   Sl 27? There was to be no one down there.
Broots   Well, the surveillance camera says there is. It’s Jarod.
     
     
Willie   Mr Raines, security had just reported a breach in SL 27.
Raines   What kind of a breach?
Willie   Well, according to the surveillance, it’s Jarod.
Raines   Jarod’s back?
     
     
Miss Parker   Jarod!
Jarod   Looks like another dead end.
Miss Parker   I know all I need to know.
Jarod   Do you? After all the deceit and all the betrayal we’ve both experienced how do you know what the truth is?
Miss Parker   Fenigor had no reason to lie.
Jarod   Then you’re going to have to shoot me, because I’m going to find out the truth.
Raines   But we want you alive Jarod.
Mr Parker   I knew you had it in you Angel.
Sydney   Jarod! Jarod! Get out! There’s a bomb! Forgive me.
