Original subtitles

Previously on The Pretender. There are pretenders among us.

I was taken from my family. 36 ,000 is already demonstrating more talent than

any of our others.

How many people died because of what I thought up? Since I broke out, I've

every moment searching for my past.

He's a pretender.

A genius who can become anyone that he wants to be.

Cassandra wants him alive.

Preferably. He defends the weak and abused.

Life's a gift.

Are you a doctor?

I am today.

Details are sketchy, Jared. I'm trying to piece a lot of this together myself.

This feeling is so strong, Sidney, that I've been to that forest house before,

but my mind wants to block it out. I have a feeling too, Jared, and it says

you're lying.

Miss Parker.

I'm glad to hear your mind hasn't blocked me out yet.

Tell him, Sid. Like he doesn't know?

Well, we saw the DSA, and you were definitely there.

Then why don't I remember it? You're the genius. You tell us.

If I could, I would, Miss Parker. You know that.

I've never held back when it comes to your mother.

You were on the DSA, Jared.

She talked to you.

She told you secrets. I don't remember.

Did she tell you why she faked her own death? I don't know. Or how in the hell

that baby she was carrying is your brother? Look, I don't know. Or where

going or where the baby went or... No, I don't know.

It is entirely possible that your subconscious mind has blocked out those

recollections, Jared.

Either by itself or with the help of someone else.

So those memories could still be in Jared's head?

Every waking moment of our lives is stored somewhere in our minds. Well, for

what it's worth, Miss Parker, I believe that our brother is a man named Ethan.

Now, I don't know where he is, but somehow he's involved with a project

7677. You figure out 7677, you find baby brother.

I'm almost ready with 76, 77. I just need a few more components, but I'm

you, I need to talk.

Okay.

Still nothing on this guy, Agent? Still nothing.

You can't drag me out of the house like that. You know, I got a whole throw of

cheese going right there on the stove.

Hey, where do you want him, Detective?

Come on.

Ask and ye shall receive.

That's the local munitions guy who asked us to haul in.

Name's Jed Seidel. Small -time middleman, all around weasel. Well, what

coincidence.

Weasel season is just opening.

Jed.

Agent Curtis, FBI.

Hello. On behalf of the Bureau, I would like to say congratulations.

Hmm? You're moving up in the world.

I am?

Aiding and abetting in the making of bombs.

Helping to murder innocent citizens?

I mean, this is hardly fencing. Stolen TVs.

You're in the big leagues.

Your parents must be very proud of you.

You got the wrong guy.

Really? Well, he doesn't seem to think so.

I don't know who that is.

That wasn't my question. What was the question? Why are you helping your

here make bombs?

No, no.

Ethan ain't no friend of mine. Ethan? Thought you didn't know him.

Do you have any idea what this guy's going to do to me if I spill to you? I

mean, he talks to people that aren't even there.

He's crazy.

Unlike the lovable lifers in federal prison.

I hear shower time's a real scream, Jed.

Explosives. Yes, he was looking for explosives. Like a T4, Semtex, digital

fuses. And all I did, and this is all I did, was call a guy on the phone and I

set up a meeting. That's it.

Where and when?

Mm -hmm.

At the warehouse, midnight, Broad Street in Franklin.

there was only about one minute of stuff left on the DSA.

But what's there is really telling.

Dr. Rance, leave us alone, please.

Catherine, I don't think that would be a good idea.

I think it would be a great idea.

There's something I have to tell you that you can never forget.

Okay.

I may not live much longer, and if I don't, there's something very important

want you to tell my daughter.

Will you promise me that you'll tell her?

I promise.

It's something I don't ever want anyone else to hear.

What's wrong, Brooke?

fix it.

No, there's nothing to fix. She unplugged it. That's all there is.

My butt, that's all there is.

Make it dark.

I can't.

My mother's dying secret.

The one thing she wanted me to know is not only lost electronically, but

somewhere inside Jared's head, and he can't remember a thing.

Brains.

Brains must have erased that portion of Jared's brain.

Oh, you mean like... Like hypnotized or brainwashed or something. Very mind

-blowing. I don't know how Reigns locked that memory in Genius Boy's mind, but

I'm going to free it up if I have to crack his head open and carve it out

melon scooper. How are we going to do that? We track Reigns.

I'll bet my ass he knows where Ethan is.

When we find Ethan, we find Jared.

Who's in there?

Relax, son.

Everything's going to be just fine.

I feel so alone.

But you're not, Ethan.

I'm here for you. You know that, don't you?

After you earn the trust of the triumvirate with the bombing, you'll

live at the center, where we'll do great things together.

I'll be calling you soon.

I'm not here to hurt you.

No, you're the one who killed my parents.

I didn't kill your parents.

How do you know I can trust him?

I can't trust anyone.

Not you.

Not him.

Ethan.

I'm your friend.

Ethan, run!

Run!

Your ninth life just ran out.

You look surprised to be here.

Well, I'm surprised I'm still alive.

Dead men tell no tales.

I'm assuming since we're here, this has nothing to do with center business.

No.

It's about me.

I need your help.

Tell me what I need to know.

And you're out of here.

And I should believe you're going to let me just walk away.

Watch

this,

Jaron.

Hello, Mrs. Parker.

Thank you for coming.

Close the door.

Come here, Jared.

There's something I want to tell you.

You're going to have a brother.

I don't remember this.

Sidney, I don't remember this.

It's in your mind.

Let's get it out.

Go

back

into your memory, Jared.

To when you were a young boy.

Are you there now?

Go back to a moment when Reigns came to take you from the center.

And where did he...

A house in the woods.

Can you see the house now?

Yes.

Go inside.

Are you there?

Yes. I smell wood.

Wood paneling.

Cedar.

Very good, Jared.

I walk through a sliding door.

She's there. Who is?

Catherine Parker.

She's still alive.

Hi, Jared.

She didn't die in the elevator.

She seems troubled.

I what?

She wants me to tell her daughter something very important.

What?

It's very important that she know the truth about Ethan.

Ethan?

That's what he told me his name would be.

I don't understand.

How would he know?

How do you?

I call it my inner sense.

Inner sense?

For most, it's the hairs on the back of your neck or that nervous feeling in

your stomach.

For me, it's voices I hear all around me, usually warning me of things that

about to happen.

Like souls talking to you?

Something like that.

I've been blessed with this gift, Jared.

And though she doesn't know it, so has my daughter.

Though neither of us quite like Ethan.

I just pray his gift isn't abused by the wrong people.

Why are you telling me this?

Because Ethan is also your brother.

Unknown to me.

While I was sedated for a minor surgery not long ago.

My husband.

used your father's seed to impregnate me.

My father's genetics?

Yes. Mr. Parker wanted to create a child with this inner sense, who could also

be special like you are, to use, no doubt, as they have used you.

Mr. Raines showed me proof of what had been done, and that Mr.

Parker is planning to kill me when the baby is born.

Mr. Raines scares me. Why do you trust him?

I trusted him because... Because he trusted me.

That and... It was the only way for me to give this child a chance at a real

life.

But... Now... Something's wrong.

The voices are telling me I won't leave this house alive.

That's why you brought me here.

You're special, Jared.

And I know you won't forget.

I want you to tell my daughter to complete my plan.

Plan?

She'll understand one day.

Tell her to trust her inner sense.

It will guide her actions.

Jared, your soul is a trusting one.

Just like your mother's.

You know my mother?

Yes.

And one day you'll be back together again.

And Ethan will help you find her.

Trust. Right, you know.

It's the lion.

Any news from Cox about Zoe? According to his last message, he's ready.

This is why I'm here.

Our people at Triumvirate headquarters thought you might find that quite

interesting.

Reigns has been a busy boy.

I intercepted a communique between Reigns and the Triumvirate, and I'm

not the only one who did.

Spit it out, Brooke.

It's about 7 -6 -7 -7, and that thing, that mirage... That thing is my brother.

Whoa.

In a nutshell, there's some project called 7677, and if it goes off as

Mr. Raines is going to be in charge of the center.

A Raines coup?

Thank you.

Hello?

Why do I feel like you know what Brewster told me?

Raines has been working towards this his whole sordid career.

Using Ethan? He took him as a child, placed him in a surrogate family.

With people who would allow Reigns to control his emotions.

In other words, screwed him up so badly he would only trust Reigns. So Reigns

could have total control over him.

Turn Ethan into his private assassin.

And when Reigns killed his surrogate parents, he severed all emotional ties

anything connected with the outside world.

Well, that is what Reigns does best. Take people away from their families.

What are you going to do?

I don't know.

Do what your mother would have wanted.

Finish her work.

Work she died trying to accomplish.

My mother may still be alive, Jared.

What if she's not?

You can stop Reigns.

I don't know.

Trust your inner sense, Miss Parker.

I'm going to find my... Our brother.

Have I ever told you...

How truly inspired this holy roller gag of yours has been?

What are you talking about?

Oh, come on. You're about as born again as I am.

But hey, after you bought things so badly last year, this religion thing

your ass.

There's no shame in that.

Of course, the way the Triumvirate's been touting you lately, who needs

intervention? You're making no sense.

Oh, I am.

Just as much as this communique that I intercepted from the Triumvirate does.

You've gotten pretty tight with our bosses in Africa.

76 -77, Mirage, your power play.

Ringing a bell?

How did you get that?

If you can find God, I can sure as hell find that.

What do you want?

I want to run the center.

With you.

The 76 -77 bombing goes down.

Mirage, or is it Ethan, comes into the center just like you promised to

triumvirate. And it all can happen because I decide not to tell Mr. Parker

you stole his son.

Yeah, that you stole his prize project, Mirage.

Now, if I read that communique correctly, it's about time for you to

Ethan and finish 7677.

What do you say, partner?

777 is a go.

This is your final call.

After this, it's up to you.

Now, walk three blocks to the bus station.

Open locker number nine, and you'll find the final instructions for the bombing.

Couldn't stop him now, even if we wanted to.

Happy.

Damn happy.

Hey,

hey, is that any way to talk to your new partner?

Whoops, I mean new boss.

We have a clean trace on the call. We'll monitor Ethan until he finishes 76, 77,

and then we'll bring him in.

No screw -ups.

Lock him up down in SL -25.

With the rats.

We've had too many years, too much success for things to end this way.

Who said it's ending for me?

Excuse me.

Hi. Anything I can do to help?

As a matter of fact, there is.

How are you feeling?

Better.

We have so much we have to catch up on.

I'm going to find Ma.

We're all going to be together like one big family.

And what about Ethan?

Dad told me everything.

He's not crazy.

Not like you thought he was.

Our brother... He's gifted.

He's special.

Don't... Let them destroy Ethan like they did our family.

I won't.

I promise.

Why the glum look?

Well, I recovered more of the forest house archive.

And? A down pocket.

I can see the head, Catherine.

It's a... Boy.

You're right.

It is a boy.

I'm your mother.

I have such big plans for you.

Why didn't you want me to see this? That's more what I'm afraid of.

After my work was through, I wanted to raise you and your brother and sister

like a real family.

But I'm not going to be.

I just realized I'm not going to be able to see you grow up.

But you have a brother and sister that will find you and protect you.

You tell them to finish my work, to finish my plan.

I don't think you need to see them. I need to know.

I'm sorry.

I'm just following orders.

You really had me convinced that you had changed.

That you cared about this baby.

There's no other way, Catherine.

Raines just executed her.

Yes, Doctor.

I'm your mommy now.

Raines executed my mother.

He won't take my brother, too.

Sid, talk to her.

There's nothing left to say.

You found Ethan's computer?

At the warehouse where he picked up the bomb components.

I reconstructed the hard drive and was able to break down the bomb schematic.

But even better, I found out where the bombing is going down.

76 -77.

The number of a subway train. DC Underground.

The subway's not a target.

It's a delivery system.

Train 7677's route ends at Freedom Station.

Directly above that is the National Hotel.

The exact place where hundreds of foreign dignitaries are staying for a

conference. So much for peace.

I broke down the password on a well -hidden encryption file.

Ethan's programmed the bomb's timer on this laptop, too. The train is leaving

the station in exactly one hour from now. Just enough time to stop this and

Ethan.

I have a video phone call.

I'm sorry to call so late, Jared, but I thought for sure you'd be interested in

saving the life of a close friend.

You still eat. Jared!

Lyle, you let her go!

See, that's exactly what I want to do. But Mr. Cox actually wants to exploit

safety and well -being of your girlfriend to his advantage.

All right.

What do you want?

to propose a quid pro quo. Don't, Jared. I don't know why these people want you,

but they will kill you. I know that. If you want Zoe to live, you'll surrender

yourself to us tonight at Rosings Farm, Highway 12, outside Blue Cove, in

exactly one hour.

Lyle! Damn it!

One hour from now.

That's exactly when Ethan will be on that subway train.

From the bottom of my heart, Miss Parker.

My first memory of you was in the center lobby.

You were smoking cigarettes.

I was six or seven, and you knelt down, took a drag, and

blew smoke in my face.

And here you are, still glowing.

I can never have my mother back.

But I can damn well save my brother.

You tell me everything you know about 7 -6 -7 -7.

And I consider letting you live another day.

I'm the last chance saloon here, Reigns.

7 -6 -7 -7 is the Washington, D .C. subway train departing from Beacon

in a little over one hour from now.

Then what?

When it pulls into Freedom Station, the subway and everything above it will blow

up.

It's your brother who will plant the bomb and guide the subway.

Father, I haven't had... Not so fast.

Before she died, my mother said something about her unfinished work,

plan. What did she mean by that?

And you never found it either.

Found what?

Word has it your mother left a DSA explaining exactly what her plan was.

But it was the one piece of incriminating evidence.

I never found or destroyed.

You find it, you find her plan.

You gotta know something more about it.

It's about what everything's about, Miss Parker.

It's about the center. All the lies.

Just remember, whatever answers your mother may have left behind, there is

one person alive who does know the whole truth.

Who?

Not right for my little girl to have blood like that on her hands.

Was it the blood you were worried about?

Or the death?

Jared should be here in 20 minutes.

Take your positions.

Be ready.

And you're sure He'll come?

No, He'll come.

Zoe, we couldn't have done this without you.

Go to hell.

All's fair in love and war.

You know, it's too bad you're not Asian.

Maybe when all this is over, we can find a place for you in our renewal wing.

You can't leave Jared alone.

Because he belongs to us.

Major Charles.

Dad. It's me, Zoe.

And you're all right.

Yeah, everything's okay on this end, Jared.

Although I am pretty damn curious about who Cox and Lyle are. I am so sorry that

you got involved with this. Be careful, Jared.

I will.

Ethan. Stay away.

I'm not going to hurt you.

I'm going to say not to trust you. No, they don't.

Not all of them. I wish I didn't have to hear them.

It's your inner sense, Ethan.

It's what makes you special.

Who are you?

I'm your brother.

She told me about you. She?

One of the voices?

She's the one you must listen to, Ethan.

Who is she?

Your mother.

You never got to know her.

They never allowed you to know her, but she is your mother.

She's your guy, Ethan.

Listen to her voice. It's your inner sense.

Mr. Raines is my guy. No, he took your gifts and he used them against you.

He taught you to fear those voices instead of learning how to embrace them.

He used you, Ethan. He's still using you.

Don't let him use your gift for destruction.

I have to follow his word. If you do, then innocent people will die.

That's not you, Ethan. That's not who you are. Just listen to her voice,

Focus on her voice.

Trust him, son.

Jared is the one.

Geese walk barefoot.

Creek craw toads foot. Geese walk barefoot.

Yes.

Creek craw toads foot. Geese walk barefoot. You can break free of the holy

over you. Just listen to her voice.

You have a family now, a real family. We'll always be there.

Now tell me, where is the bomb?

You can't stop the train. The bomb can't be diffused. There's three bomb squads

and two army demolition units that can diffuse it. No, the bomb's on the

undercarriage. There's no stopping it or the train. We're going to have to send

the train somewhere else. Where's Freedom Station? It's on the track

right. Where's the track bearing left go? It's to an abandoned maintenance

they closed eight years ago. Hang on. Look, it's no use. I programmed it to

automatically take the track to the right. I thought that was a rocket

scientist, too.

3 ,000 yards.

2 ,900.

Come on.

2 ,800.

Do it.

Got it. The train has an auto brake that engages in 40 seconds. The bomb goes

off in 20 seconds after that. Come on. Come on. Get out of here. Come on.

Take it. Please.

Miss Parker, listen to me. There is a bomb on board. I know. We have less than

60 seconds.

Then defuse it. I can't. It's underneath the train.

Then stop the train. It's too late.

If we are lucky, this train will slow down enough for us to jump off, but I

can't stop the explosion.

This is your brother, Miss Parker.

Our brother. It could be a beginning. Don't make it an end.

And your mother?

You sound just like her.

It's your mother's voice. He can hear, Miss Parker.

Maybe you can hear it too.

Rock that boy.

Miss Parker.

The auto brake is engaged.

We have less than 20 seconds.

What's the matter with him? Side effects of raves at work. Now what's it going

to be, Miss Parker? Help me save him.

Help me save our family. It's your choice.

What's wrong, Robbie?

Thank you.
