Adam?

[BEEPING]

No, no, no way. He'’s miles away from the warehouse.

I was able to get a fix off the signal from his com-link.

Brennan and Shalimar are on their way over to pick him up now.

[SIGHING IN DESPAIR]

Well, then, who...

[GRIPPING INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC PLAYING]

Jess, we'’re here at 16th and market,

and Adam'’s nowhere to be found,

No, he'’s gotta be there.

I'’ve been staring at this signal for five minutes. It hasn'’t moved.

Are you sure you'’re looking at the right map?

He'’s not here.

Nah, come on, he should be right in front of you.

He'’s not, but his ring is.

You can'’t get a signal from his ring.

His com link won'’t work unless it'’s activated by his DNA.

It'’s covered in his DNA.

Bet you think a girl could just get lost in those eyes of yours, huh?

I can'’t see.

Relax, honey.

It will eventually wear off.

Who'’s there?Come on.

No.[SCREECHES] Come on.

Need your help.

Let me guess.

You don'’t know where to hide.Something like that.

I know a place.

Yeah, so we got the blind leading the stupid.

Why would Adam take off his ring?

It doesn'’t make sense.

It'’s gotta somehow be connected to Megan'’s murder.

Maybe Adam was a witness.

JESSE: Hey, guys. You'’re not gonna believe this.

The police have released an artist'’s rendering

of the suspect in the murder of Megan Alexander.

Check it out.

[INTENSE MUSIC PLAYING]

What is this, your idea of a joke?What?

Huh, cops?

You trying to set me up?

It'’s Megan's place,

and I thought we'’d be safe.Come on.

How are your eyes?

Still blurry.

Why did you save me back there?

'’Cause I need some help finding out

who I am and you'’re the only person I know.

Why would I help you?

You killed my girlfriend.

I don'’t believe that for a second.

And I don'’t think you do either.

You don'’t know what I think.Look.

Last night, I broke into a doctor'’s office

and did a little research on my condition.

Amnesia.Yeah.

It'’s either retrograde,

post-hypnotic or emotional-hysterical

usually cause by trauma.

And I ruled out injury

'’cause I know you lied to me about hitting my head.

I also found out that memory loss

is usually treated by sodium amobarbital

or thiopental, which unfortunately for you,

did nothing to alleviate my condition.

So, I want you to tell me what'’s going on.

You sure don'’t sound like

a guy with amnesia to me.

No, because my ability to store

short term memory hasn'’t been affected and I seem to have

a natural affinity for learning things.

So, you'’re an intelligent murderer.So, if,

I killed Megan, what were you doing holding the gun?

I had to fight to get it away from you.No, because I remember

that the fight happened after I woke up,

and you were holding the gun.

So, you'’re a liar,

and not a very good one.

Go to hell.Hey.

I'’m not going anywhere,

until I get some answers.

MASON: Adam, a fugitive from justice.

Of course, it'’s what I've been calling him all along.

Why would Adam, protect the man,

accusing him of murder?

Maybe Adam thinks he'’s innocent.

Or maybe,

Adam doesn'’t know what to think.

What if this, Griffin character

stole Adam'’s memories,

and has them sitting in his brain

just waiting to be discovered?

Capture Griffin,

and we'’ve got Adam as well.

Shalimar,

none of us even want to consider this,

but has it crossed your mind that we might be wrong?

I mean, what if Adam is somehow responsible for Megan'’s murder?

What?

Listen, we both know Adam'’s not capable

of murder.

Yeah. Right.

Wish I knew what I was looking for, never mind how to find it.

That'’s why you'’re with me.

That'’s why you'’re with me.

JESSE: What?

Well, Adam was definitely here.

that with Mr. Griffin here

it will be almost like talking to Adam himself.

Isn'’t that so, Mr. Griffin?

We both know you,

pilfered Adam'’s consciousness.

How else could you frame him for murder?

I didn'’t steal anyone'’s memories, Mason.

And I didn'’t frame anyone for murder, either.

Then how did you know my first name?

[SCREAMS]

Now, perhaps we can have an honest conversation,

now that we see eye to eye?

You first.

You killed your girlfriend,

during a domestic squabble.

Adam walks in.

To eliminate him as a witness,

you steal his memories

and set him up for the murder.

Oh, isn'’t that a nice story.

When do you get to the part about me living happily ever after?

I simply don'’t understand, Mr. Griffin,

why you'’re so resistant.

There'’s a bright future ahead of you at Genomex.

It'’s worth a lot to you, huh?

Money, position,

power.

It'’s all yours.

If you have the information that leads

to the destruction of Mutant X.

[INTENSE MUSIC PLAYING]

SHALIMAR: Mark Griffin.

So, it'’s Megan's boyfriend.

He'’ a Psionic with the ability

to absorb memory.

Well, that explains why Adam didn'’t recognize us.

Yeah, and why he ran

straight into the arms of the police.

Wait until I get my hands on this guy.

I'’m gonna leave him with a few memories of my own.

Wait a minute.

If Griffin can absorb,

Adam'’s memory,

then he can absorb all of his knowledge.

He knows about the safe houses,

he knows the security codes.

Sanctuary access.

He knows where we live.

What'’s that?[BUZZING]

Ow! Easy.

All Mr. Griffin has managed to provide us with,

are a few safe houses

and a few Mutant X contacts.

What'’s the problem?

He says it'’s too much information.

No.Half of what he spews out

are disjointed scientific equations.

Stop.I see.

MASON: Sadly, he has the memories, but,

lacks Adam'’s superior intellect

to process the data.

Exactly.

Griffin only possesses half the equation.

And Adam,

possesses the other half.

And considering Mr. Griffin has wiped his slate clean,

Adam must have no idea who to trust.

Not at all. His world has been

quite literally, tuned upside down.

Well, then,

perhaps he'’d be receptive,

to a familiar face from the past.

Adam.

Thank god, you'’re all right.

Who are you?

Well, they said you had a memory lapse.

I would never have believed it, if I hadn'’t seen it with my own eyes.

Adam,

it'’s Mason. Mason Eckhart.

Do you know what happened to me?

A band of outlaws, set you up.

Deviant liars the lot of them. The call themselves

Mutant X.

Griffin'’s one of these mutants?Yes, I'’m afraid so.

Now doctors are working feverishly

to assess what he did to you.

So we can reverse the process.

Restore my memory?God willing.

We desperately need you back, Adam, as soon as possible.

Wait, [STAMMERS] you and I work together?

I keep forgetting you'’re in the dark here.

Those bastards.

[SIGHS]

We work at Genomex.

A biotech firm, which... is actually,

a secret branch of US intelligence.

You'’re our chief biogeneticist.

And this is why they'’re trying to set me up?

Well, to discredit Genomex and myself.

All right, this makes more sense.

But, now, wait, these mutants, are their

abilities the result of natural evolution?

Sadly, no, these,

anomalies are the tragic results

of genetic experimentations gone wrong.

Our job,

is to protect the world from their freakish powers.

So, you and I are trying to cure these anomalies?

Adam, uh,

this isn'’t the place to discuss such sensitive matters.

Trust me, they'’ll all be clear when we

get you home to Genomex.Wait.

How can you prove to the cops what really happened?

What makes you so sure that I'’m so innocent?

Adam, please. We both know, you'’d never

be capable of something so barbarous as murder.

POLICEMAN: Hey, time'’s up.

Dig down into your core to find the inner strength

you need in this time of struggle.

I only ask you to remain patient.

I'’m, [SIGHS] pulling as many strings

as I can to arrange for your release.

Wait, Mason.

Thank you.

So,

tapped into the PD database.

You'’ll never guess who just paid Adam a visit in jail.
