Official Synopsis

Broots becomes a hunted man when information that could be used for a terrorist attack is stolen from the Centre’s computer system.

Broots plans to surprise his daughter, Debbie, with a trip to Paris for her birthday. He listens to audio tapes containing a French tutorial so he can speak the language upon his arrival. Miss Parker interrupts his French lesson. She informs him of a flaw in his new security software, a mistake that has led to the transfer of three classified files to the data annex. Someone, Parker intones, broke into the annex and made off with the information. Broots makes his way to the annex, where he attempts to solve the mystery. But someone is, at that moment, downloading classified information from the Centre. Suddenly, a masked gunman enters the data annex and opens fire, killing security personnel. Broots, wearing walkman headphones, is at first oblivious to the carnage. But upon returning from a trip to the men’s room, he walks into the gunman’s line of fire. Broots ducks and runs for his life. Terrified and confused, Broots manages to escape from the building.

Suspecting that Broots may be the Centre’s mole, Mr. Lyle dispatches a decontamination team to find him. Sydney dismisses the notion as ludicrous. Broots contacts Sydney by phone. Sydney warns him that his life, and the life of everyone he knows, is in great danger until the mystery is solved. Shortly thereafter, Miss Parker and a Sweeper abduct Debbie. Broots returns to his house, where he encounters Jarod. Broots is terrified that Jarod will kill him. As the two men speak, a laser beam appears on Broots’ chest. Jarod dives forward, tackling Broots moments before automatic weapons fire rings out. The men make their way to safety, and because of Jarod’s act of bravery, Broots begins to trust him. Jarod reveals that a former Centre operative named Damon has been working in conjunction with a mole planted inside the Centre’s operations. Damon murdered everyone at the data annex to conceal his secrets. The mole, it turns out, has been transferring Jarod’s old simulations to the data annex (where routine, unclassified information is housed). Jarod explains to Broots that he was simply in the wrong place at the wrong time when Damon opened fire.

Jarod tells Broots that Damon has now escaped with a fourth simulation. Jarod is unsure of the sim’s contents, but he does know that Damon intends to use it on the following day at five o’clock. Inside Jarod’s lair, Broots views the first three simulations. He realizes that Damon used information from Jarod’s sims for terrorist attacks on a subway, a consulate and a military aircraft. Whatever is contained on the fourth simulation will no doubt be used to kill more innocent people.

Jarod recalls, in flashback, how he befriended a mildly retarded janitor at the Centre. Damon observed this budding friendship…and would later use it to his advantage.

Broots and Jarod sneak back into the data annex and access the computer. They manage to download a copy of the stolen fourth simulation and make their way to safety. The men view the simulation…and realize that Damon intends to use Jarod’s work to launch a biological terrorist attack at five o’clock the following day.

Though Miss Parker has no luck identifying the mole, she does determine that he or she arranged the delivery of an unknown shipment. The shipment order is in a secret code…one that Centre operatives are unable to decipher. Later, Sydney passes along the coded message to Broots and Jarod. Broots determines that the numbers are not code at all, but GPS coordinates of where and when Damon will receive the shipment. Meanwhile, Sydney tells Miss Parker that unbeknownst to him at the time, Damon and the Centre had a hidden agenda. Damon, Sydney explains, gradually gained the young Jarod’s trust, and assured the boy that once he finished one last simulation—one involving the development of a virus—he would be set free. But the young Jarod refused to cooperate, as the virus was a Pandora’s box. With Damon’s approval, a Sweeper shot Kenny the janitor in the leg. Horrified, Jarod gave Damon the simulation containing the virus formula. Despite this, Damon shot and killed Kenny. At the time, Damon was stealing secrets from the Centre. And now, in the present day, he is doing so again.

Jarod and Broots drive to the shipment exchange location. Once Damon retrieves the virus, which is housed in a metal cylinder, Jarod confronts him. Damon turns and begins walking away, certain Jarod lacks the coldness to shoot him in the back. Suddenly, Damon spins, gun in hand, and shoots Jarod in the side.

Broots treats Jarod’s wound inside the lair. While Jarod lies on a couch, recuperating, he happens upon a news report covering a funeral service that will be attended by representatives from Serbia and Bosnia at five o’clock that day. Jarod realizes that Damon intends to unleash the virus during the service (which is being held on the eve of peace negotiations). Meanwhile, Miss Parker and her colleagues reach the same conclusion.

Gun in hand, Jarod confronts Damon at the auditorium. Damon tosses the cylinder at Jarod, pulls out his own gun, and points it at Broots. Realizing he has no where to run, Damon cocks the trigger, moments from killing Broots. Jarod takes aim and fires, killing Damon and saving Broots’ life. Broots is reunited with his daughter.

Later, Jarod tells Sydney how deeply shaken he feels, as he had never pulled the trigger before.

Betrayal Transcript


Broots		Debbie? Debbie?
Debbie		Morning daddy.
Broots		Morning, are you hungry?
Debbie		Um, my ride should be here any minute.
Broots		Well, just have a little bit. It’s hot.
Debbie		Did you remember?
Broots		Remember? What?
Debbie		My birthday daddy. I’ve told you all year what I really, really want is….
Broots		Is a trip to Paris. And you know what? I can’t take you to Paris until you’re like, 25 years old.
Debbie		Well, it never hurts to ask.
Broots		No.
Debbie		Well, I gotta go.
Broots		Okay, wait, take this. I love you too. See you tonight.
Debbie		Love you see you tonight.
Voice on tape		Beginners French. Hello, my name is Pierre. How are you. Bonjour. C’est Pierre. Comment allez vous?
Broots		Hello, my name is Pierre. How are you. Bonjour. C’est Pierre. Comment allez vous?

Miss Parker		It’s bad enough that you talk to yourself, but in a second language?
Broots		It’s French.
Miss Parker		So is the Jerry Lewis Fan Club, but I wouldn’t join.
Broots		It’s.. Debbie’s birthday’s coming up. I wanna surprise her with a trip to Paris.
Miss Parker		Pop Tarts?
Broots		They have 11 essential vitamins and minerals. May I ask, uh, why are you here?
Miss Parker		Oh I was in the neighborhood.
Broots		Since when?
Miss Parker		Since I couldn’t risk talking over the phone. Listen, don’t go to the Centre this morning. I want you to go straight over to the Data Annex.
Broots		To the Data Annex? Why?
Miss Parker		Since you installed the new security software we’ve detected three transfers of classified information from the Centre to the Annex.
Broots		There’s a leak in the Centre.
Miss Parker		All we know for sure is that after each transfer someone broke into the Annex and took the information.
Broots		Jarod?
Miss Parker		You wrote the, uh, software. You find out.


		Flashback
Young Sydney		Tell me what you’ve discovered Jarod.
Young Jarod		Structural reinforcements here, here, here and here. It should allow the building to withstand an earthquake of 7.5.
Young Sydney		Excellent Jarod. Your design will save many lives.
Young Jarod		Yes, but if the reinforcements were to be damaged by and explosion by sabotage the whole thing would go down.
Sydney		Don’t worry, the Centre would never allow anything to happen.
Young Jarod		I hope so Sydney. If not, hundred and hundreds of people could die.
Young Sydney		Don’t worry, the Centre would never allow anything to happen.



		Flashback
Jarod		There. That’s all there is to it. Now you try Kenny.
Kenny		Oh Jarod. I’ll never be able to do this.
Jarod		Oh, sure you will.
Damon		They found out you refused to complete the last SIM and asked for the three of us to come down here.
Sweeper		We want to strongly encourage you to reconsider.
Kenny		Jarod, help! Help! It hurts! Jarod!
Jarod		NO!


Broots		Hey George.
George		Hey.
Broots		Busy day huh?
George		I’ve seen livelier morgues.
Broots		Uh?

George		Yeah, sure, go ahead.
Broots		Okay. Hey Norman. So I hear you’ve had three data intercepts.
Norman		Four. It happened again last night. You know what I cant figure out though is what would anyone want from this place to begin with? Top secret travel itineraries? Clandestine expense reports?
Broots		Well, let’s see if we can unlock the mystery. This’ll take a couple of minutes to come up. I gotta go see a man about a horse. Hey, that’s a cool shirt.
Norman		Hey.
Techie		What?
Norman		Someone’s accessing this information right now.
Techie		What?
Norman		Who the hell would want this?


George		Morning.


Voice on tape		Would you care to join me for a romantic dinner and a movie? Voulez vous l’accompagne pour le diner et la cinema?
Broots		Intimee en la cinema? Intimee Intimee. Voulez vous? Voulez vous? Voulez vous l’accompagne pour… Oh my god. Wait!

Voice on tape		I would like coffee and a croissant.


Miss Parker		What’s up?
Lyle		We’ve had an incident at the Data Annex. Prelim says the entire in-house staff has be ‘depersonneled’.
Miss Parker		Broots was there.
Lyle		He was spotted running from the scene. I dispatched a decon team to find him.
Miss Parker		A decontamination for Broots?
Lyle		Miss Parker, there’s a leak in the Centre. Someone downloaded ‘eyes only’ data to a mole in the Annex. Broots could be that mole. Hell, he could be the shooter for all we know.
Sydney		Broots? Broots couldn’t do that.
Lyle		We don’t know that, not for sure. All we know is that we’ve been compromised. The Tower’s declared this a Schedule 7 incident. Do you know what that means?
Miss Parker		We’re ghosting Broots.


Driver		Hey, watch it.
Broots		Come on! Come on! Hello? Hello?
Sydney		Sydney.
Broots		Sydney! Oh god. Thank god you’re there.
Sydney		Broots, are you all right?
Broots		Yes, NO! No, I’m not all right! Sydney, they.. they killed everybody in the place! And.. and they’re trying to kill me! They’re after me!
Sydney		Calm down Broots.
Broots		I can’t calm… I can’t calm…
Sydney		Broots?
Broots		Syd? Sydney?
Sydney		Broots?
Broots		Sydney! Hello?
Voice recording		We’re sorry, your cellular service has been deactivated. Please contact your provider for additional information.

Miss Parker voice		Since you installed the new security system we have detected three transfers of classified information from the Centre to the Annex.
Broots voice		There’s a leak in the Centre.

Sydney		Broots?
Broots		They’re all dead, everybody’s dead. There’s, a man in there with a gun. He tried to kill me.
Sydney		Tell me where you are.
Broots		Miss Parker sent me. Where’s Miss Parker?
Sydney		She’s not here. Try and calm down. They’re not going to let us talk for long.
Broots		Sydney, what the hell is going on?
Sydney		You’re in great danger Broots. You and everyone you know may be a potential target.
Broots		Oh god, Debbie!
Sydney		I don’t know what’s going on Broots. Maybe you saw something. We’re under a Schedule 7.
Broots		A Schedule 7?
Sydney		Remember your training, and Broots?
Broots		Yeah?
Sydney		Don’t trust anyone.
Broots		Sydney? Sydney?
Sydney		What the hell do you think you’re doing?
Lyle		Standard procedure. Until we know what’s going on here, Broots is persona non grata.
Sydney		For God’s sakes Lyle, the man has a daughter to take care of. We can’t leave him out there.
Lyle		Broots and his daughter are not my problem.


Broots		Come on Debbie. Come on where are you?
Kid		Ha ha!
Broots		Get out of here you little….
Kid		You’re dead!
Broots		Get out of here you little mongrel!
Kid		You’re dead!
Broots		Miss Parker. Debbie!
Sydney voice		Broots, don’t trust anyone.
Broots		No! Wait!
Debbie		Where’s my daddy?
Broots		Miss Parker! Debbie!


Broots		This isn’t good. Hello? My computer. I’m sorry Debbie, I know I promised I’d never use this. Shh, shh, shh, shh! OH! JAROD! Please, I’m, I’m sorry. I didn’t meant to do it.
Jarod		Do what?
Broots		Whatever it is you’re gonna try and kill me for.
Jarod		I’m not trying to kill you, I’m here to help you. I’ve been waiting for you, we don’t have much time.
Broots		Little time, for what?
Jarod		You just have to trust me.
Broots		Sydney told me not… not to trust anyone.
Jarod		You might wanna reconsider that.
Broots		Oh!
Jarod		Get in the car, get in the car!



Jarod		Are you alright?
Broots		No. I’m not all right. I’m as far from all right as I’m ever gonna be. I’ve seen people murdered, they’ve taken my daughter. They’ve broken into my house. They’re tryin’ to kill me and I’m sitting here with you. No, no, I’m not all right. I wanna know what the hell is going on.
Jarod		It’s about the data intercepts you were sent to investigate at the Annex.
Broots		How is it you know so much about what’s going on at the Centre?
Jarod		A former Centre operative has been working with a coconspirator inside the Centre. In order to conceal their identities and their activities he murdered everyone at the Annex. And now, he’s after you.
Broots		But I don’t know anything, do I?
Jarod		It doesn’t matter, all that matters is that he thinks you do.
Broots		I don’t give a damn about me, I am only concerned about my daughter.


Miss Parker		She’s safe, I picked her up from school and took her to my house. And Sam’s keeping her out harm’s way for now.
Lyle		The cleaners reported in from the Annex. They found a mess, but few answers.
Miss Parker		What about Broots?
Lyle		The decon team’s still looking for him. They confiscated his home computer. It’s being cross-anyalysed to see if we can pin him down as the leak.
Miss Parker		Broots isn’t the leak, but he could find out who is.
Lyle		That isn’t how it works, Broots lives or dies on his own until and if this matter’s resolved.
Sydney		I’m afraid Mr Lyle does not share your sense of loyalty.
Lyle		Centre reality check, Broots is expendable. I’m not sure a monkey couldn’t do what he does.
Miss Parker		I can’t believe you weren’t spawned under some rock instead of being born of the same flesh and blood I came from. As much as I hate to admit it, Broots is more of a brother to me than you’ll ever be. I won’t throw him out like a piece of garbage.
Lyle		Hark, do I hear violins playing?
Miss Parker		Lyle, reality check. I intend to get to the bottom of the Centre’s problem without sacrificing Broots in the process.


Broots		Wow. I’ve seen a lot of your old hideouts, but I never thought I’d be here with you.
Jarod		Neither did I. You hungry?
Broots		My daughter loves these.
Jarod		They have 11 essential vitamins and minerals.
Broots		Listen Jarod, I can’t stay here. I’ve gotta find Debbie, Miss Parker took her. In fact it was Miss Parker who sent me to the Data Annex in the first place.
Jarod		Miss Parker is many thing, but she would never do that, especially to you. She doesn’t have it in her heart or her eyes.
Broots		I know what you mean. The guy that shot up the Annex, who shot at my house, now he had it in his eyes.


		Flashback
Sydney		Jarod, this is Damon. The Tower has asked him to work with you on some special projects.
Damon		Jarod, I’ve heard a lot about you.
Kenny’s voice		Jarod, help! it hurts! Jarod!


Broots		You know him?
Jarod		Yes, I know him. For the past several months I’ve been intercepting communications between a man name Damon and his source at the Centre. The source has been transferring SIM’s that I performed to the Data Annex.
Broots		But the Data Annex is only for storage of routine unclassified information.
Jarod		That’s exactly why he had them transferred there. The lack of security allowed Damon to break in as needed and download the SIM’s.
Broots		But my new software found a trail leading right back to them.
Jarod		You were at the wrong place at the wrong time Mr Broots. Damon was just covering his tracks.
Broots		Damn.
Jarod		He’s already used three of my SIM’s. Now he’s stolen a fourth. I don’t know what it is. But I do know that he plans on using it tomorrow at 5 o’clock.
Broots		But what’s so important about four old SIM’s that would cause him to kill all those people?


		Flashback
Young Sydney		Our clients were impressed with your recommendations to improve the safety of their aircraft.
Young Jarod		There’s one other thing Sydney. I know it’s unlikely, but if the plane were to encounter a focused burst of electromagnetic energy in the ultrahigh frequency range the pilot would lose control.
Young Sydney		Jarod, I’ll be sure to alert our client about your concerns. You have nothing to worry about.
Young Jarod		I hope so Sydney.


Broots		Oh my God. And the subway? And the consulate? Damon took your work and used it to kill?
Jarod		I need your help Broots. I have to get back into the Annex. I have to find out what the fourth SIM is. We’ve gotta stop Damon.. before there’s another headline.


Broots		Okay, I’ll help, but before we go in.. I have to find out what’s happening to Debbie. But the Centre, they won’t let me in.
Jarod		Well, they can’t keep me out.
Sydney		This is Sydney.
Broots		Sydney, its Broots.
Sydney		Broots, where are you?
Broots		I gotta know where Debbie is.
Sydney		Miss Parker took Debbie to her house, she’s guarded around the clock.
Broots		Oh thank God. And Sydney, please thank Miss Parker for me would you?
Sydney		Mnnn.
Broots		There’s uh… someone here I.. I think you’d like to speak to.
Jarod		Sydney, Damon is back.
Sydney		Damon? Are you sure?
Jarod		I’ve seen him. He tried to kill Broots after he murdered everyone at the Annex. Now he’s working with someone inside the Centre. They’re using my old SIM’s to orchestrate attacks. I know when he’s planning to hit next, but I don’t know how and I don’t know where.
Sydney		Let me see what I can find out. But please be careful. Remember what Damon is capable of.
Jarod		Oh, I remember. I remember everything.


		Flashback
Jarod		There, that’s all there is to it. Now you try Kenny.
Kenny		Oh Jarod, ill never be able to do this.
Jarod		Sure you can, we’ll keep on practicing. Put this point there. Now press down the fold. Very good.
Kenny		Jarod, help me! Jarod!
Jarod		NO!


Damon		I know Jarod. I know how his mind works, he’ll come to me.
Centre Leak		We can’t take the slightest chance of him discovering our activity.
Damon		I’ll take care of it.


Broots		Oh. That’s what I call a clean up. This is the computer Damon was at.
Jarod		We have ten minutes max before they detect us. Do you think you could find out what he was accessing?
Broots		Well I ahh… designed the system. Um, that’s a maybe.


Miss Parker		So let me get this straight. They can send a man to the moon but neither one of you can open up Broots’ system to backtrack who the leak is in this place?
Techie		We’re searching.
Miss Parker		Search faster. Where the hell have you been?
Lyle		I’ve been occupied. You look frustrated.
Miss Parker		Well your monkeys seem to have a bit of trouble peeling this banana.
Lyle		We’re all just trying to find the answers Miss Parker. My sweepers have also been unable to locate Broots’ daughter. Have any idea where she might be?
Miss Parker		Do I look like a baby sitter?
Techie		Ah, Miss Parker, someone is accessing the computer at the Data Annex now.
Miss Parker		Who?
Techie		Based on the password it appears to be… Mr Broots.
Miss Parker		Damn. Get me the imbecile who is supposed to be guarding the Annex. Now!


Broots		I’m just about there. Jarod I know it’s not my place to ask but what exactly happened between you and Damon?
Jarod		You’re right, it’s not your place to ask.
Broots		I’m not done yet.
Jarod		Keep working.
Sweeper		Hold it, right there. Real easy like, bring that gun up where I can see it. Come on. Now turn around, slowly. Well, well, well. Look what I got here.
Broots		Oh. Oh well. At least I didn’t shoot him.
Jarod		Next time, you might want to put some bullets in it.


Sweeeper		Untie me please. Come on! Where’re you going? What’s going on?


Broots		Oh boy oh I could really use a drink right now.
Jarod		I’d settle for the DSA that we just risked our lives for.
Broots		Oh yeah…sure. Sorry.


		DSA
Sydney		Jarod. Please.
Jarod		I’m not going to do it.
Sydney		You have to finish this project.
Jarod		No Sydney. I can’t do this.
Sydney		Jarod. We know the enemy is trying to genetically alter the smallpox virus to carry the Ebola. Our only interest is in developing a vaccine to prevent a holocaust.
Jarod		I’m not comfortable with this area of research.
Sydney		I don’t understand Jarod.
Jarod		In order to make a vaccine I have to recreate the deadly organism.
Sydney		Hmm hmm!
Jarod		Concentrations to achieve air-born toxicity, solubility levels, half-lives. It would be too easy for someone to take this information and use it destructively. I don’t want to see that happen.


Broots		This Damon. He’s going to use your work to biological attack someone.
Jarod		Tomorrow at 5 o’clock. The question is…who?


Lyle		What have you found out about the leak?
Miss Parker		If I had Broots I’d be a lot further along. But as it is your monkeys have only been able to identify that the Centre leak has arranged for delivery of some kind of shipment.
Lyle		To whom?
Miss Parker		They don’t know who or how or why or even when. That’s what happens when you don’t have an opposable thumb. All we have to go on is what appears to be the shipment order.
Lyle		It’s in code.
Miss Parker		Brilliant analysis. We’re trying to break it now.
Sydney		Oh I’m sorry. I didn’t know there was anyone here with you.
Miss Parker		Hmm. I believe Mr Lyle was just leaving.
Lyle		Well I am really impressed with all you don’t know. Love it if you surprised me with something that we can work on.

Sydney		I believe the two of you are taking the concept of sibling rivalry to new levels.
Miss Parker		Excuse me, Syd, I have work to do.
Sydney		77 02 30 38 14 98 1500
Jarod		What does it mean?
Sydney		Sorry Jarod, I don’t know. It’s all I have.
Broots		I’ll get right on it.
Jarod		Thank you Sydney.
Sydney		Jarod don’t let your feelings for Damon, your desire for revenge, don’t let it destroy you.
Jarod		This time I’m going to stop him.


		Flashback
Damon		I know how you feel Jarod.
Jarod		How could you know how I feel?
Damon		I was a pretender once.
Jarod		Was?
Damon		They gave me my freedom. I can get them to do the same for you.
Jarod		I don’t trust them.
Damon		Yeah. Neither did I. Just finish this last SIM and I promise you, we’ll walk out of here.


Jarod		We’ve only got a few hours left.
Broots		I know it’s not difficult. It’s a simple problem. They’re the most trouble. You know that better than anyone. It’s like the clues you leave us all the time.
Jarod		I know we can crack it.
Broots		We have to. I want my life back. I want… my daughter back.
Jarod		She’s beautiful.
Broots		Well you know I may not be the most successful person in the world but there is one thing that no one else can do or be and that’s her dad. I miss her.
Jarod		Don’t worry. You’ll see her soon.
Broots		Why are you doing this?
Jarod		Doing what?
Broots		I try and catch you every day.. I mean it’s my job. But, why are you helping me?
Jarod		Because… I respect you.
Broots		Me?
Jarod		I can only hope that one day I will be half the father that you are.
Broots		You know, I plan to spend her birthday travelling through France. Travelling… travelling… These numbers aren’t code.
Jarod		They’re GPS coordinates.
Broots		Exactly.
Jarod		Date time and location. Where and when Damon is going to receive his shipment.
Broots		We know that the when is in two hours and the where is in a small park outside of DC.
Jarod		Come on.


Sydney		Miss Parker
Miss Parker		One of the techs just gave this to me. An intercepted phone call.
Sydney on tape		98 1500
Jarod on tape		What does it mean?
Sydney on tape		Sorry Jarod, I don’t know. It’s all I have.
Miss Parker		You gave Jarod information, information you stole from me.
Sydney		Miss Parker please?
Miss Parker		No Sydney! I’m out there risking my ass looking for Broots while you are here working behind my back. You want to tell me that’s not true?
Sydney		Parker, does Lyle know about this?
Miss Parker		For now, no. Do you want to tell me why I shouldn’t give him that myself?
Sydney		Sit down please. Shortly before Jarod escaped from the Centre we were having trouble controlling him. His growing sense of humanity was creating inner conflict over his work. Against my wishes the Centre brought in an operative named Damon to help break him. What I didn’t know was that Damon and the Centre had a hidden agenda. Damon exploited Jarod as he progressively gained his trust.


		DSA
Damon		They’ve agreed. You finish this last SIM and you can leave.
Jarod		This virus that they want me to develop – it’s a Pandora’s box. I don’t know who will have the key.
Damon		Jarod, this is your freedom.


Sydney		Jarod was in turmoil. He came to see me for advice. I tried to allay his fears.
Miss Parker		So what happened? Obviously the Centre never gave him his freedom.
Sydney		It was all a lie. This wasn’t just another Centre exploitation of Jarod. It was the ultimate one. Jarod befriended Kenny a janitor at the Centre who possessed a child like-innocence. Jarod felt very protective of him. And Damon knew that.


		DSA
Jarod		That’s very good. Isn’t it Damon? And what’s this about?
Damon		They found out that you refuse to complete the last SIM and they asked for the three of us to come down here.
Kenny		Jarod, for you.
Sweeper		We want to strongly encourage you to reconsider.
Jarod		What are you doing?
Sweeper		You have one minute to change your mind.
Jarod		Are you crazy?
Damon		Jarod, listen to me. Listen! He is going to kill him and probably both of us as well. So for Kenny’s sake finish the last SIM and walk away from this place.
Kenny		Jarod…Help…
Jarod		Here! I already finished the SIM. It has everything you need. Everything they need is on this. Now take it. What are you doing?
Kenny		Jarod!
Jarod		No! NO!
Damon		The Centre owns you and there is nothing you can do about it. Don’t make it so difficult next time.
Jarod		No.



Sydney		Three weeks later Jarod escaped.
Miss Parker		My God Sydney.
Sydney		Damon betrayed Jarod’s trust and he confirmed all of Jarod’s suspicions about the Centre.
Miss Parker		And destroyed Jarod’s hope of ever being given his freedom.
Sydney		Damon was later exiled for stealing Centre secrets and he’s doing it again now. Do you understand why I am trying to help?
Miss Parker		I understand Broots is the loose end and in order for him to survive Damon has to be stopped. For good.


Jarod		He just handed Damon a metal case.
Broots		Smallpox?
Jarod		Worse. He’s not going to get away. Not this time.
Broots		Wait! Jarod. Jarod!
Jarod		Give me the case.
Damon		Jarod… My friend!
Jarod		Let’s get one thing straight I am not your friend. Now give me the case.
Damon		Still worried about the innocent masses. Still the same. Jarod. Humanity’s seed of hope.
Jarod		Give me the case.
Damon		The Jarod I knew couldn’t pull that trigger. You want to stop me, shoot me in the back. My guess is that you are still too human for that.
Jarod		Noo!
Broots		Jarod!


Broots		Don’t move. Just like that.
Jarod		Why are you doing this?
Broots		What?
Jarod		You could take me into the Centre. Schedule 7 or not with me as the prize they would welcome you back.
Broots		Well, the way I figure there’s a time and a place for everything. And right now I owe you. Besides I respect you.
Jarod		Ow! Me?
Broots		Yeah. You help people. You care. When others look away you try to make a difference.
Jarod		Well I didn’t make a difference this time.
Broots		That’s why you can’t walk away now. And neither can I. Considering what we’ve been through I think I have a right to ask you this. What happened between you and Damon?
Jarod		It’s on the DSA.
Broots		I’ve been thinking about what you said, about discovering Damon’s pattern. It’s obviously political even possibly global.
TV		A private non-denominational service to pray for an end to the Bosnian conflict is scheduled for 5 o’clock this afternoon here at Freedom Hall in Georgetown. The service referred to by the parties as the Seed of Hope…

		Flashback to confrontation with Damon
Damon		Humanity’s seed of hope.

TV		will bring together representatives of the Czech Republic, Serbia and Bosnia on the eve of the Peace talks which are scheduled to start Monday in Washington.

		DSA
Damon		The Centre owns you and there’s nothing you can do about it.

Broots		Oh My God.
Jarod		Broots. Broots. He’s going to hit the service.


Miss Parker		Sydney, the flood-gates are finally open and the techs have finished putting all the pieces together.
Sydney		You know where and when Damon’s going to strike?
Miss Parker		The jet’s waiting.
Sydney		What about Lyle?
Miss Parker		Leave him here to run his circus.


Broots		How do you think he’s going to deliver the virus. The wine?
Jarod		Not everyone is going to take communion…. but everyone is going to breathe the air.
Broots		Jarod. Look. It’s Damon.
Jarod		Aerosol delivery.
Broots		He’s going to spray the crowd.
Jarod		Get everyone out of here.
Broots		Okay. Ah, excuse me. Ah, I’ve been alerted there’s a bomb in the building so if you could all please exit quickly and calmly. Please.


Damon		Jarod you just can’t leave it alone can you? This isn’t about you.
Jarod		You’re using my work to infect countless numbers of people and for what?
Damon		You gotta make a living.
Jarod		Who’s helping you at the Centre?
Damon		The same person who always has. Back off Jarod, or you can say goodbye to another friend.
Jarod		Not this time… Damnit. Damon. Let him go. This is between us.
Damon		Your friend comes with me. I’ll let him go when I know I haven’t been followed.
Jarod		That’s funny. I believed you once.
Damon		Then you know what I’m capable of.
Broots		Oh Jarod.
Jarod		It’s over Damon.
Damon		You’re not going to pull that trigger Jarod. You don’t have it in your eyes. Just like when we were together at the Centre.
Jarod		He has a daughter….who needs him.
Damon		It doesn’t make any difference.
Broots		No!


		Flashback to Kenny being shot
Jarod		Noooo!

Jarod		It does to me.


Debbie		King me. Daddy!
Broots		Debbie!
Debbie		Daddy I missed you so much.
Broots		Oh I missed you too. Oh! I have something for you. Happy birthday.
Debbie		Paris? Je t’aime, Daddy!
Broots		Je t’aime aussi.
Miss Parker		Sam let’s go. There’s a couple of things I need to wrap up at the Centre.
Sam		Good game, kid.
Broots		I love you Daddy.


Sydney		This is Sydney.
Jarod		It’s me.
Sydney		You okay Jarod?
Jarod		Physically.
Sydney		It’s natural to struggle to come to terms with what happened.
Jarod		I never….. pulled the trigger before.
Sydney		I pray you never have to again Jarod. The guilt you’re feeling comes from a conflict over your desire to exact revenge for Kenny…. and the necessity of what you did.
Jarod		I just keep playing the moment over and over in my head.
Sydney		You saved Broots’ life… and the lives of untold numbers of people.
Jarod		I just…. feel so empty.
Sydney		You have to forgive yourself Jarod. There’s an old saying: He who saves but one life saves the entire world.
Jarod		I…I have to go.
