Previously on the pretender
I guess your mother never told your about this place.
No.
She came here exactly the same every year.
She loved the spring.
You were in love with her, weren't you?
Yes. There's part of her she kept hidden.
Mr. Lyle shows up, your father disappears.
It's too coincidental to be just a coincidence.
what is it? Jarod.
I don't like to be watched.
So you're drawing with indicates.
Or would you like me to leave?
No, not you Sydney.
Them.
They record everything, don't they?
Everywhere I go.
Every thing I do, every word I say.
Shut them off, Sydney. Shut the cameras off.
I don't control them, Jarod.
- Just ignore them. - But I can't.
Won't you understand?
I can feel them on all the time.
There's nothing I can do, Jarod.
It's not fair.
Turn them off.
- Jarod, no. Stop. - Guys turn them off.
Okay, smile at the camera.
Alright, well done, kids.
Ooh
Where are those parents who don't need them.
Hey, how are you folks doing? You know we've got special going... Um... for extra copies for gramma, granppa?
Do I look like I drive a mini lamb
You know this man?
Yes, Sure. That's Jarod... adams. Yeah.
He worked here a couple of weeks.
Good guy, give me this.
Hard woman.
You know where he is now?
Nope. But he did tell me that someone would be by to pick this up.
Right here.
I'm someone.
This is Manhattan.
This is extortion.
Oh, come on. This is Manhattan.
Your parents must be very proud.
Excuse me.
Ah, this is a... viewer
Oh view master with no reel.
Tragically some bought it.
Why tragically?
Because it means I'll be forced to listen to you attach some great set me out of meaning to that toy.
What I think the distress of your father's disappearance is starting to get to you.
The only thing getting to me is Jarod.
You should consider a vacation.
My help just said, am I?
So we put a bullet in Jarod... But I can't do that now, can I?
Because I don't know where he is, do I?
Say cheese.
That's rap. /Let's rest. Sounds great.
Hohoho, great gig.
She'll be shooting public
There are pretends among us. Genuises with the ability to become anyone they want to be. In 1963, a corporation known as the Centre isolated a young Pretender named Jarod, and exploited his genius for their research.
Then one day, the pretender ran away...
THE PRETENDER Season 2 Episode 4 Exposed
Too pasty.
Not pasty enough.
Get her a treater.
I didn't know shall I dig her.
Darrin, don't you think that's a little harsh?
Harsh? From an agent?
Brian, it's a modelling firm, not a halfway house form of a prom queen.
- Mr Faxon. - Jarod.
Brian, I assumed you've seen Jarod.
Very impressive.
No. It's exceptional.
You've obviously worked the Marsks, Elvton, Payne, Newton... Their influence is unmistakable
Hey, you enjoyed the books quite a bit.
The books. Yes, it's very...
Your schedule of the shoot for Cindy Thomas portfolio at eleven thirty.
I haven't met her yet, but I heard she is... exceptional.
Uh, she is still very raw, but her potential is amazing.
And so far no photographer has captured the true look,
the illusive quality will make her the next of... her.
Kimberly Green.
She died of a car accident, right?
That's the offcial version.
Was it something else?
A man was stalking Kimberly.
We think she drove in the river by accident.
There's no doubt in my mind he killed her.
Her body was never found.
Then they'll never catch the stalker.
Yeah, still out there somewhere.
Oh, Brian, I need you do uh...
I used to have the entire thunder birds collection on reels for this.
Thunder birds?
Yeah.
Oh it's like star wars only little talking puppy heads.
Kind of like your old birds?
Only raffles but the line was busy.
What's on the phone... Thomas?
Your father's vacation home.
I spoke to his house boy, who for six years has spoke perfect English but today
When I asked if he see my father, he couldn't understand the damn word.
He will come back.
So?
Oh, ah, this package came for you.
For me, and, it's moving.
Jarod.
Oh, that is Mrs. Paul.
So much for your empty view master.
Here, you two bound.
Miss Parker.
Where's daddy?
He leaves toy mad me.
Don't be Jarod.
Mr. Lyle.
Miss Parker, I swear we had an appointment in my office thirty minute ago.
A... met a rose. Unfortunately, it was a false lead on Jarod.
Um, it's too bad.
So we came... again.
In New York, I believe.
He's already left his last locale when we arrived.
Any clue as where he may be going?
I saw nothing that could be interpreted in that manner.
How unfortunate!
Got it better.
I'm going out.
Anyone asks where I am,
lie.
You look great, Cindy.
Fantastic.
Ah, extraordinary.
Look, it's great.
Great.
Relax. Have fun.
Be kid.
But... It supposed to be sexy and provoketive.
We are selling you now, so be... you.
Okey, why not?
Say cheese.
Hey, ah, that's it.
That's what I want, you great.
You can go home now.
That was a little ridiculous, but that was a lot of fun, thank you.
Jarod, that black shot just maybe become around the next stage's catalog.
Exception, couldn't agree with Brian more.
I am curious that where the hell did you come up with that technic.
Happy Faces Photo Phun. Excuse me.
Hello?
Hey, excuse me, my name is Jarod.
Excuse me.
I'm sorry. I didn't mean to scare you.
No... problem. I was just... working.
Um, a beautiful lady.
I bet people would pay money to see that.
Just, just ah... experimenting.
No flaws now.
But to me it's the flaws make the face interesting.
There are some photographer like youself inside.
I am a photo-enhancer.
But I thought I saw you taking pictures in studio.
Now I am used to having a camera.. on me.
But lot of people may not feel that way.
I... told you I am... not a shooter.
Okey, it must be someone else like you.
Have a nice day, you, it was nice to meet you.
And I am telling you, Cindy.
Miami has the best donut.
Come on. Humid food and stun crabs. maybe, but donut?
I had my first donut when I was here.
It was a long story.
You are idiot. This is a great town.
Police just walk around just take everything in.
And what happened to Kimberly.
You two are friends?
As much as she let me. She is a pretty quiet person.
Won't close to anybody except her assistant.
I don't mean to blame but it's really tough to find any friends when you're suspicious of everybody.
Stalker.
He made her life a living hell.
He used to send her pictures of herself.
What kind of pictures?
Well, just doing everyday things, like reading a story, eating at restaurant.
You store at your mind of every one of them.
Once gets close of you touch with acid
All she has wanted to be is normal, you know.
I know the feeling.
Is someting wrong?
No.
Everything is fine.
Thank you for all help. I am really appreciated.
It's my pleasure.
Shut them off, Sydney. Shut the cameras off.
I don't control them Jarod.
- Just ignore them. - But I can't.
Won't you understand?
I can feel them on all the time.
There's nothing I can do Jarod.
It's not fair.
"Fashion Model Escapes Stalker's Acid Attack"
"Super Model Dies in Tragic Accident"
It wasn't fair, was it? Kimberly.
Just wasn't fair.
What?
Little known fact.
Bob's make wonderful pets.
Yeah, it was great hanging string on through boilling water.
get point of one of these?
It's about your father.
I thought that point was clear.
If you know where my father you should tell me.
If you tell me where my parents are.
I don't know.
Find out.
This is not funny, Jarod.
Now you know how I feel.
Happy hunting.... and to Gladys I say hello.
Gladys? Who is...
Good morning. May I help you? Would you...
Oh! Miss Parker.
Gladys.
Guilty.
Exactly what the hell am I doing here, Gladys?
Jarod said you would find this... very valuable.
It sent a middle value, I suppose.
I am old tears
You cann't chip here because you have two pieces missing.
Oh would you like a cup of tea?
you seem a little tense.
What the hell I suppose to do with this...?
Jarod said a man you have lunch with tomorrow will be able to help.
What man?
Where?
Jarod said you know.
You would never know where the Chuck's Lobster House, would you?
All the women never know the exact motives of the person who stalked Kimberly Green,
I've identified several character traits
which all stalkers exist by getting into the stalker's head becoming a stalker
First of all most stalkers will believe the victim belongs to him, and him alone.
and attempting to control the victim's life through fear.
by controlling victim's actions with fear.
And manipulate her ability to interact with other people.
A fear achieved by... avoiding face-to-face competitions.
It's what the victim can't see. That's the most terrified.
And, what may have happened in the case of Kimberly Green
the victim rejects the stalker's... attemps to control her life.
The stalker's no longer in control.
And can turn to else.
Zoe, I'm sorry.
It's okay.
We're done.
Thank you.
I've been on this issue before but never think it is like this.
- What you call it again? - A simulation.
I needed to get inside the head of someone who's doing some pretty horrific things.
You did a great job, thank you.
Oh one question.
Why did you walk up to that police man?
The strange officer catches the stalker for me
That's a little out there.
I've started to feel kind of weird you know.
Oh I'm sorry to get too weird.
I didn't mean to scare you.
Yeah, well.
I saw the cop and I figured it was talk to you to feel a little nervous.
What
I don't usually remember my dreams but this...
ridiculous one was... uh...
I... I was sitting in some kind of bar, and
...was walking around, whenever.
And... I was trying to flirt with the bar tender... who was a woman.
All this time we're talking saying some... really clever things.
And, you know, I, I dream clever.
And then, she turns around.
And it's Miss Parker.
And now, I'm, I'm really turned on and
She reaches out and grabs me and poses me across the bar
and starts... me on my brother.
Sorry interrupt your session.
A session? We're not having a session.
But I'm trying to get a beat on Miss Parker.
- Have either of you seen her? - No.
Not since lunch.
Oh, no, ah, actually I think she said something about pursuing a lead on Jarod.
Really?
Yep.
Lunch in Maine?
Need trick.
Never call me when she returns,
From lunch.
How did he know about our sessions?
You think you're the part of the planter?
Sydney?
Wow!
Sorry!
I haven't seen you.
You have a good eye, not being a photographer?
Kind... kind of hobby.
It's... it's honest.
You captured her.
If the rest of these are like this, you should do the shooting work.
I couldn't do that, never.
What's wrong?
Cindy.
I found this on my...
He's up to me now.
Why?
Because he needs new target.
I want you to move in with me.
I'll hire private 24 hours security guard.
That can't make any difference if he wants to get me, he'll get me.
Just like he got Kimberly.
Welcome Chuck's Lobster House madam. May I help you?
Oh, Miss Parker.
Is there anyone in this... doesn't know me?
Jarod's table is this right this way.
You've got a company.
Jarod's here.
I am afraid it's only me.
Ben?
Interesting thing, Jarod has set us up.
Well police explored super model Kimberly Green's death accidental.
Her sister Erika Green believes like many,
she was murderd by the stalker who have been harassing her for months.
Her sister Erika Green believes like many,
she was murderd by the stalker...
"Sister Mourns Super Model's Death"
My name is Jarod Adams.
I'm a photographer with the Darrin Faxon Agency.
I don't have anything to say you people.
The stalker's back.
He's up to one of your sister's friends, Cindy Thomas.
Come in.
It's not more difficult for missing family.
Kimberly wasn't the stalker's only victim.
I lost the only family I ever had.
When was this taken?
One of the fast homes we were in.
We had a strange childhood that I didn't understand.
Oh... I might.
We growed up in the system, went from one fast home to another.
You never knew what kind of situation you were walking into.
But in my word, Kimberly would never let anyone hurt us.
Yes.
Look, this is the fourth time I told you people I am not switching.
I tell you what, why don't you give me your home number and I call you back.
I don't think so.
I can't stand...
I know what you mean.
I think I would like your sister.
She strikes means of survival.
She was.
There was the only one thing she couldn't handle.
Feeling trapped.
My whole life, but the stalk.
One for the other. A way out was all she could think about.
I am sure it was on her mind when the car went off the bridge.
At least now she is at peace.
"The river was dredged, the body was never found. Search party was called off 23 hours later. "
561, information.
561?
Yes,... town of Florida. May I help you?
Thank you.
It's the only information I need.
I wonder that you want a long distance business, Erika.
Jarod, Jarod.
Jarod. Are you ok?
Yeah, I'm alright.
Don't have to do that again, Jarod.
I thought you were dead.
I thought if I pretended to be dead, everyone would leave me alone.
You and me both, Kimberly.
You and me both.
- Another. - Right away, Miss Parker.
Courtesy of Jarod, I think I have finally reached the end of my rope.
Afraid, am I that.
I haven't seen this in years.
Was it yours?
No. It was your mother's.
Jarod stayed with me a few month ago.
It started to make sense by now.
What is?
It was pre-occupation with your mother.
And, this...
He told me the next time you and I met, to give it to you.
I don't know why but,
I have been carrying it with me everywhere.
She is a dancer in there.
I am afraid it doesn't work without the other figurine.
I am sorry I don't know where it is.
I thought this was lost.
But Jarod found it... in an antique along with other items belong to your mother.
She bought it one day when we were togther.
It always reminded me of her delicated beauty,
her graceful dancer skate.
My mother was a dancer?
A great one.
She never told you?
I am learning that there are a lot of things she never told me.
But it is a... lesson I took as child.
Do you still dance?
No I stop...
She stopped too.
After she met your father.
Ben, do you know where my father is?
He is missing.
And Jarod led me here and hoped that I would find him.
I'm sorry. I don't know about your father.
Only your mother.
So, It's gonna been taken any time?
You know that it wasn't.
Erika I know you speaks to your sister every night at ten thirty.
I am not the stalker.
And you're expecting me to just believe that?
I know where Kimberly is.
If I was the stalker, if I wanted to invade her privacy, I would be doing that instead of standing here talking to you,
the one person that can help her to trust me.
I understand how she feels.
No one could understand that.
I do.
I told you, Jarod. You are safe here.
They are not watching you.
This is the only camera in the office.
I took it down this morning.
Remember, it's only a special favor to you.
I have to put it back in a few minutes.
So we can talk?
Just you and me?
You can do anything you like.
What is it, Jarod?
There's something in the clock.
Right here in the middle.
You said they were not watching.
Jarod, believe me I didn't know.
You said I would be safe here, you promised.
Jarod.
Damn you.
After he attacked, making my death was my way out.
Out of one trap into another.
It's... living nightmare just happen now.
What is it about?
Always the same thing.
His eyes.
The night he attacked, I felt his eyes on me all day long.
As I approached my building, I turned.
And he was standing there,
wearing a ski-mask,
hiding his face, and he tried to put acid on mine.
The only thing I registered was eyes.
Tell me about it.
They were cold,
had no feeling.
Was there any place that you felt safe?
Home.
And the Agency.
But you know at the end I thought I was being watched even there.
I think I was just being paranoea.
I don't think so.
The public doesn't know who Cindy Thomas is.
But the stalker does.
You think he's access to the Agency?
I don't know.
But I need your help to find out.
I need you to help me find those eyes.
No, Jarod.
It's the only way out of this trap.
Trust me.
Together we will win.
The relationship between your mother and I
last almost fifteen years before she died.
I can still see her beautiful vision walking out the... on the sunny day of April.
I was on the ladder when she called to me.
Her... broken down.
And she tried to fix it herself.
Yes, she was covered in oil.
So did you help her with crack?
She helped me to the doctor,
I.. lost the ladder.
That's all she was, always helping others.
Even when she was in need.
Is that.. spring you two fell in love?
That's was the spring we became friends.
That's what we were for many years.
She would come up to the end of every April,
spend the first two weeks.
and that for thoses weeks of joy.
It may sound cony but this is simple thing she loved.
Gathering flowers on by the lake,
Watching the stars.
Catherine had a non-quenchable zest for life.
A sparkle, until,
She met my father?
Oh, at first she seemed happy,
but, year after year they sparkle faded.
But she kept coming to see you.
I was an oasis, the life she was trapped in.
She never told me about that life,
only her feelings.
I swear she was for me.
It was many years before our lips touched.
But I truely believe that we were met spend our lives each other.
We can only have what we had.
I hate, to know that she was so sad.
She was until you came along.
After you were born the sparkle returned.
You gave her the strength to remember who she was.
She was making big changes in her life.
Then she was gone.
God I miss her.
I do too.
Don't be sad.
She was never sad when she talked about you.
That is all she really ever wanted to talk about.
What's the other figurine that went in here?
Another dancer, a little girl.
Shame they can't dance together any more.
What are you... doing here?
Your work.
It's excellent.
I can't believe you never show this to anybody.
I told you I couldn't do that.
Toby you have a gift.
It's like the camera speaks for you.
These are... beautiful people.
I am... not... not one of them.
Beauty is more than appearance.
It's also about real emotion.
I looked your photographs especially the eyes of your subjects,
and I see a lot of that emotion.
What do you want?
Toby took these?
Everyone who was at the shoot.
Anything?
No.
Maybe wasn't there.
Maybe he changes his habits.
Stalkers always hunt their prey in the same way over and over again.
Who was there?
What's this?
Who's figure behind the back drop?
Oh, my God.
Brian.
Too..., no...
Oh, please, send this one to... maybe you need new hand model.
Ah, this is just give me for you, Brian.
- Mr. Faxon,.. is going on the conference now. - Oh, lovely.
Kimberly.
Hello Brian.
Kimberly.
Hey.
What's your problem?
My name is Zoe.
Oh... I am sorry I thought you...
What?
Hey!
Who's there?
You are trapped, Brian.
Now how is it feel?
- Over here, Biran. - Kimberly.
- This way, Brian. - Cindy.
You can't see us.
But we can see you.
Now we have all the power.
Who are you?
I am you, Brian.
I am weak. I am a coward.
I hide in shadows and watch.
Because creating fear and others is the only way that I have strength.
What do you want?
Are you feeling trapped?
Vulnerable? Terrified? Just like Kimberly and Cindy felt.
Are you afraid I am going to hurt you?
The worst part is you don't know how.
And you don't know when.
Then again that's what stalking is all about, isn't it?
Admit it, Biran.
They rejected you and that just tore you up inside.
I just wanted to be with them.
You want control.
And when you couldn't have your way with Kimberly, you stalked her.
And trapped her, and you tried to destroy her.
With acid.
Then you stalked Cindy in the very same way.
I just want Kimberly and Cindy to be mine.
Oh, well.
Now, you are mine.
Ah...
Will you relax, Brian?
It's just CO2 and water.
What's the matter, Brian?
Look like you're seeing the ghost.
I thought you, I thought you were...
No.
I am not.
I am not afraid any more either.
Relax.
Let your portfolio speak for yourself.
Don't worry. Darrin's going to love you.
I... I've never thought this day would come for me.
No matter what happens, I... thank you, Jarod.
I count that.
What?
Pretty, isn't it?
Pretty?
The music.
How is usual Jarod there is no music at the end of your games.
Oh, well. I am very sorry that you didn't have a nice trip.
But you have everything you need to find what you're looking for.
Why did you give me this, Jarod?
Oh Let just say: happy birthday, Miss Parker.
My birthday isn't until January third.
That's the point.
She would come up to the end of every April.
May, June, July, August, September, October, November, December
I have been looking all over for that.
Daddy?
How are you doing, Angel?
You poach him from my office?
You've been gone for over a month. Where have you been?
If I told you, I couldn't protect you.
Come along. Mr. Lyle and Mr. Raines want to meet with us.
But Daddy..
Just listen to your father.
Follow my lead.
Of course.
