How strong are you?
Test me.
You have mail.
"Refuge"
"Have urgent information concerning your past, present and future.
Please Meet me in DRY RIVER, ARIZONA.Sydney"
"Welcome to DRY RIVER a friendly little town"
Morning.
I'm new in town and I was supposed to meet a friend.
I was wondering if you gentlemen might have seen him.
Look, I don't mean to interupt your game,
but it would be nice if you at least look at me.
They cannot hear you.
Excuse me?
Those are the Mitchell brothers.
They are deaf as posts.
- They said.. - So it looks like it's going to be another hot day.
You speak sign language?
- Deputy Miller. - Jarod...
Barber.
We don't get many visitors to Dry River, Mr. Barber.
What brings you to town?
Actually I'm here to meet a friend.
Maybe you've seen him.
He is fifty something, distinguished looking...
- Distinguished? - Um.
I would remember him, wouldn't I?
I think I've probably taken up enough of your time, deputy.
Have a nice day.
I'm afraid I'm gonna have to ask you to stick around a little while longer.
Excuse me.
You're goint to come with me, sir.
And why would I want to do that?
Because if you don't,
I'm going to have to kill you.
There are pretenders among us.
I was taken from my family.
36 Hours, he is already demonstrating more talent than any of our others.
How many people died because of what I thought up?
Since I broke up, I spent every moment searching for my past.
He is a pretender.
A genius who can become anyone that he wants to be.
- The Center wants him alive. - Preferably.
He defends the weak and the abused.
Life is a gift.

±¿±¿/Ð´ÐÐ
You are a doctor?
I am, today.
"Dead End"
So much for anonymous tips about Jarod.
The guy said that we would find what we wanted right here.
If we were looking for a urban blight and the the overwhelming stench of urine,
he was right on the money.
You think we're being led astray?
Thank you, Sherlock.
The pink?
Oh, I let Debbie do the larudry.
She kind of got the colours mixed with the whites.
And I don't want to hurt her feelings.
Don't let her cut the grass.
I want a team to sweap the area.
I want everything within a 50-foot radius brought back to the Centre.
Miss Parker.
There are something here you should see.
Miss Parker.
Parker, you alright?
Your mother's identification card,
and the expiration date has been changed.
It seems Jarod has cultivated a darker sense of humour since we last spoke.
Did I miss something?
The new expiration date.
That's the same day her mother was killed.
Everyone who's arrested has the privilege of making one phone call.
You're not under arrest. You're being detained for questioning.
About what?
Sheriff Delmont will explain it all to you when he gets back.
This is crazy.
Just go with the flow
and nobody will get hurt.
Miss Miller, come quick. It is J.R.
J.R.? What happened?
We were tossing around a football by the church and he just passed out.
- Well, go get Dr. Kraner. - He's gone to Tucson for the day.
We got JR inside the church, but he's out cold.
I have some medical training.
This is my son we are talking about.
I can help.
J.R.
You kids get back. Get back.
J.R. honey!
Sweetie, can ou hear me?
- J.R. - He is in shock.
- He's still breathing. - He is hypoglycemic.
When was the last time he ate?
Oh, he had cereals for breakfast 3 or 4 hours ago.
Only water since he was here.
Is he going to be okay?
J.R.
Come on, honey!
What do you think you're doing??
I need to stabilize his blood sugar.
I'll stick this in your mouth. I want you to let it dissolve,OK?
Good boy.
Mum.
It's ok, honey.
It's ok.
Everything is going to be ok.
How is he feeling?
Better.
He has a heart condition.
I noticed the bluish tint to his fingertips and his lips.
I would say, by the looks of it, it's congenital.
You have a very sick boy.
Are you a doctor?
Not at the moment.
Why hasn't he had a heart transplant?
Because he's on the waiting list.
Because he has AB negative blood, which is very rare.
It only happens in certain families.
One in three hundred thousand.
I know.
I have it too.
This is the guy?
"Message received. Will meet in DRY RIVER as requested. Hopes remain high. Jarod"
I may have found Jarod. I received this email from him today.
And you said you didn't send this "refuge" message to Jarod?
If I had, would I be showing it to you?
That's a good point.
What is this Dry River place, anyway?
According to the computer, there is a Dry River in Southwest Arizona.
This is Parker. Have the jet prepared.
Well, get it out of the Hangar.
Forget it!Just book me a seat on the next commercial flight to...
To Phoenix.
Phoenix, and I'll pick up the ticket at the gate.
Uh, you're going alone?
I'm a big girl, Broots.
Have this stuff analysed by Cousin It.
Angelo.
I don't like dead ends, Sydney,
especially when they concern my mother.
Hold this.
Then he helped J.R. back to the squad car,and we brought him back here.
A touching story.
Sheriff, he had every opportunity to escape,
but he didn't even think about running.
- What's your point? - He helped save my son.
Surely there is another way we can handle this.
There's not.
You did a decent thing for the boy and I'm grateful.
But if you give me one second of trouble,I'm going to shoot you dead.
You understand me?
Completely.
Well, let's go.
"Dry River"
It's a lucky thing I showed up here today.
Your deputy has a pretty sick boy on her hands.
He could have died.
It must be difficult, watching someone you love suffer like that.
What about you,sheriff?
You have any family?
I think it's going to be a whole lot easier if you and I don't get to know each other.
Get out. Let's go.
Go straight.
Move! Go right over there.
Stay there.
Let's go.
Go on.
- Somebody cut themselves? - Sit down over there.
It's pretty obvious by the way I've been treated that something terrible has happened.
Why don't you tell me what it is?
- I cann't. - Why not?
Because I won't let him.
Lyle.
Gone but not forgotten.
And so it begins.
This is all the stuff brought in from the dead end street.
You think he'll be able to help?
Empaths possess such fine-tuned instincts, Broots,
they can't be hurried.
Or discouraged.
Or grossed out apparently.
I think Jarod believes the initial refuge signal to be authentic.
Add to that the phoney tip on his recent whereabouts,
it becomes clear that someone has lured him to Arizona.
- Jarod could be in serious trouble. - I believe yes.
The question is from whom?
Angelo, could you give it a rest already?
Wait.
He cann't pick it up.
Why?
The person Angelo is empathing
doesn't have a thumb.
How long have I been out?
A couple of hours.
Oh, that'll be a good one.
You sent the message.
You really are a genius.
How did you find out about refuge?
You forget. Before I found myself thumbless in the desert
I was head rat at the cheese factory.
You may have taken off with the DSAs,
but I had access to surveillance videos of every conversation you and Sydney ever had.
I wish you could have seen your face when you first saw me.
It was priceless.
Thumb looks pretty bad.
If you don't take care of it, you could lose the whole hand.
It'll be fine.
You seem to have captured loyal support from the locals.
Sheriff Delmont?
Afraid his involvement has less to do with loyalty than it does survival.
I don't follow.
My first acquisition after arriving in this little oasis
was securing some leverage in the form of Mrs. Delmont.
You kidnapped his wife?
And buried her in the desert.
She's currently being fed oxygen
supplied by a 5 horsepower gas generator,
which with an adapted fuel capacity of fifteen gallons
- should run for about... - Sixteen hours
Sixteen...
Give or take a few minutes.
When I check my watch,
she should have life support remaining in the area of seven hours and 20 minutes.
You'll appreciate this:
she's pregnant.
I guess about six months.
You see,our good Sheriff is in no position to be anything but cooperative.
You are insane.
Psychological diagnosis can be really subjective.
- What do you want? - Isn't it obvious?
I want everything.
- What? - Lyle is alive.
What did you say?
Angelo had a severe reaction to one of the objects brought in from the dead end street.
I'm certain Lyle is behind all of this.
We've been over this, Sydney.
Lyle is dead. I shot him point blank in the chest.
Think about it.
Sydney.
You were there, do you remember?
When they pulled his body from the river?
It was never positively identified, Parker.
Lyle faked his death as a teenager.
He just did it again!
Parker?
Look, you got what you wanted.
Let the woman go.
Not until I finalize negotiations.
Negotiations?
The Triumvirate is preparing to meet to choose my permanent replacement.
I intend to make that vote unnecessary.
Look, where's a clip-on tie when you need one?
You think the Centre's going to let you just walk in there like nothing's happened?
I bring back their Golden Boy
and it's business as usual.
Cos there'll have to be changes made, obstacles removed.
Like Sydney and Miss Parker?
Among others.
How long do you think it's going to be before someone decides to remove you?
Nothing's forever.
However there is a way that we can assure our power base.
We?
With your brains and my leadership skills
there isn't anything we couldn't accomplish.
I could be your friend, Jarod.
Like you were my friend when you tried to stop my heart?
Why did you try to kill me?
Hey.
I just got a call from my deputy.
She says there's a tall, dark brunette woman
asking questions about someone named Jarod and a man with a missing thumb.
Parker.
And this was going so well.
Nothing is forever.
If you ever want to see that wife of yours again, get rid of her.
Now.
I believe there are two very dangerous men here in Dry River.
You a cop?
I work for a private corporation.
We've been tracking these men for some time.
Have you seen them?
Those people dead?
Murdered. Execution style.
And that one?
Jarod.
He has a history of mental illness.
I've been instructed by his family to bring him home.
I haven't seen him.
Sheriff, my information is certain.
Dry River's a small town, Madam.
I'm sorry but I can't help you.
Everything alright?
Oh, everything's fine, J.R.
- Hello. - Hello.
How are you doing, buddy?
I'm tired.
That's why you need to rest.
Come on, I'll make you something to eat.
Nice kid.
What's the matter with him anyway?
He's dying.
We have to call somebody.
- Who? - The FBI, the State police...
To accomplish what? Have you seen this picture?!
The man is a cold-blooded killer! He's got my wife buried in the desert!
Yeah, but we can't just stand here...
He's a psycho. If he even thinks that I'm crossing him,
Lyn and the baby are dead.
This really doesn't surprise me.
What's that?
This rising from the dead game you keep playing.
You pulled the same scam in high school.
Only back then you got really creative:
you murdered your best friend
and then you set your own father up to take the fall.
What do you know about my father?
I know that he's rotting in a jail cell,
serving a life sentence for a crime you committed.
He got what he deserved.
What about your mum?
Did she deserve what she got?
Did I tell you I went to visit her?
Very nice lady, only she seemed a touch confused.
Seemed she was trying to feed a couple of dogs that didn't really exist.
You should not have gone there.
She kept your bedroom just the way you left it.
It's all very cosy...
One more word and you die.
If you kill me here, you'll have nothing to bargain with.
Which brings us to step two of the process.
Look, I hate to throw a wrench in your plans,
but it's against the law to impersonate a doctor.
Now that's funny.
See I'm going to need something more substantial than photographs
to demonstrate my resolve to the Triumvirate.
An offering, if you will.
Offering?
You should consider yourself fortunate.
You'll be asleep when I cut off your thumb.
No!
Miss Parker?
She's gone.
She showed me a picture of you with a bunch of murdered people.
Casualties of war.
- Is there something else? - I want my wife back!
You said when you had what you wanted you'd let her go.
Have you ever seen a human being suffocate?
It's not an easy way to die.
Now your family has slightly less than three hours of life remaining.
Unless of course you want to arrest me?
Miss Parker!
- She followed me. - Get rid of her!
Now!
This is private property. Wow!
Sheriff.
I know they're here.
Like I said before, Ms. Parker,I don't know what you're talking about.
Then how did you know my name? I never mentioned it.
I don't know what he's holding over your head Sheriff,but trust me.
It will not end well for anyone.
I can help you, if you'd just let me.
I wish I could do that.
You're under arrest for trespassing.
Hand over the weapon.
Please.
Don't do this.
Don't fight the medication.
There's nothing you can do to stop it now.
Please.
No.
- They said you were dead. - Not hardly.
They said you were dead.
Not hardly, big brother.
Sydney, this was just delivered for you.
Who is it from?
Receiving. What is it?
What's this?
Who could have taken these?
I decide who lives or dies.
I decide who lives or dies...
Kyle.
Jarod's brother's alive too?
Man, this is turning into the Night of the Living Dead.
Hi, this is Sydney.
I need seats on the next flight out to Arizona, and
get the Centre helicopter ready for immediate takeoff from Phoenix.
I decide who lives or dies!
I decide who lives or dies.
I thought you'd never wake up.
Kyle?
I thought you were dead!
Yeah, that was the idea.
I saw you in the van.
I saw it explode.
You saw the van explode but I wasn't inside.
When you escaped I was able to crawl out
and fire a shot into the fuel tank.
My leg was injured so I made my way up to the highway and caught a ride out.
How did you find me?
I've been following Parker and the others for months,hoping they would lead me back to you.
My thumb, and the rest of me, is glad you did.
Jarod, have you learned anything else about our parents?
Sydney gave me this.
His brother gave it to him before he died.
Our father's name?
I don't know.
I can't believe... Where have you been?
In the shadows,
waiting,
watching.
Now that we're together again I can finish this.
Finish what?
I sent a package of photographs that'll bring the others here soon.
It's almost over, brother.
We'll start with Lyle.
Kyle, what happened to him?
He tripped and hit his head.
We have less than an hour.
What are you talking about?
Lyle kidnapped a woman and buried her alive somewhere out in the desert.
We have less than an hour before her air supply runs out.
Jarod, we can't leave now.
This is our chance to end this once and for all.
We'll start with him.
Did you hear what I said?
There is a woman and her unborn baby buried alive somewhere out in the desert
and if we work together, we can save their lives.
Lyle and the others deserve to die.
And if they do? What chance do we ever have of finding our parents?
Look,I know you're angry,but there's more important things in life than vengeance.
Let me show you how good it feels to save a life
instead of trying to destroy one.
Kyle!
We'll need to know where they buried her, right?
Relax, brother.
This is what I do.
Hope you like meat loaf.
I live for it.
The sheriff said your son is sick.
He has a heart condition, yes.
I am sorry.
He seemed like a really nice young man.
Yes, he is.
You have to let me out.
I told you I can't do that.
You know my mother died when I was almost your son's age,
and I know how hard it is to lose someone that you care about.
That's why I promise you that the sheriff and anyone else Lyle has involved in this mess will die
unless I walk out of here.
- You don't understand. - I understand perfectly,Deputy.
I think that you need to get out there and take another good look at those pictures
because that is exactly what will happen unless you prevent it.
- You don't know what he wants... - What?!
What?
He's got the sheriff's wife buried alive out in the desert.
Then we don't have much time, do we?
We must be close to the place.
Kill the motors.
There's a generator.
It's coming from just over that rise.
Come on!
Down there!
There it is!
It's out of fuel. Hurry!
Find the feeding tube.
Got it!
Dig!
- It's sealed tight. - Watch it.
Hurry, there can't be much air left in there!
Ok, that's ok. It's ok.
It's okay, you're safe now.
You're safe now.
Going somewhere, Lyle?
Miss Parker.
How nice to see you again.
I wish I could say the same.
What happened to you?
Jarod's little brother wanted some information.
Kyle is here?
We negotiated. I lost.
Doesn't anybody ever really die any more?
You left that envelope on that sign.
What gave me away?
Jarod's a pain in the ass but he's not heartless.
That's for my mother,
and this is for me.
God, you're beautiful when you're angry.
- Oh, my god. - Oh Carl!
Are you alright?
I was so scared.
- Where is he? - We left him chained up at the compound.
I'm going to sit you down.
It's going to be alright now, okay?
- What are you going to do? - What do you think?
Sheriff wait.
Let us handle it.
The man almost killed my family.
Which is exactly why you need to get your wife and baby to a hospital
and make sure they're ok.
No.
Now you boys be careful.
Don't worry Sheriff. I'm no hero.
The Sheriff said the Foundry's on the edge of town.
- He's not in the trailer. - He's not anywhere in the building.
He's gone.
Which means he's out there.
Somewhere.
Let's head back to the hospital.
I want to see how the sheriff's wife is doing.
You were right, you know.
About what?
About how it feels to help someone.
When that woman grabbed me after I saved her life and thanked me,
it was like nothing I'd ever felt before.
I've been angry for so long, so full of rage and revenge
I'd forgotten what it was like to care about someone.
That's all going to change.
Now that we're together.
And I promise.
Come on, let's go.
Oh, this is beautiful!
It's just one big happy family, isn't it?!
It's the end of the line, Lyle.
There's no place left for you to run.
I'm disappointed in you, Jarod.
You know me better than that.
If there's one thing I don't do easy ¨C it's die.
Drop the cannon, Kid.
- Shoot him you moron! - Shut up!
Stay back,
or I put a very large hole in big brother.
Kyle.
Threats and pain
that's all you've ever offered us.
You stole our lives and you killed our spirit, now you think you can threaten us with death?
It doesn't matter, Lyle.
because we never made a difference anyway.
I'll kill him.
I swear I will.
And then I'll kill you.
Don't do this, Kyle.
By the way, Lyle,
how's that knife wound?
You stay with me little brother.
I'm gonna get you to a hospital.
It's too late, Jarod.
Don't you say that.
Look at me!
Come on, just think...
think about all the good times we're going to have together.
I'm sorry, Jarod.
For what?
For everything.
No.
It's time to come home now, Jarod.
Where is Lyle?
We'll find him.
Right, nobody move!
Mr, I don't know who you are but I figure I owe you at least one
get-out-of-jail-free card.
There are two of us Sheriff.
What's to say we won't shoot you right now?
Well, mostly because this is a ten gauge pump action shotgun
that will pretty much cut anything in half that it's aimed at
and right now it's aimed at you lady!
Jaord.
I'm sorry.
Where will you be taking him?
Some place where he can make a difference.
"Trauma team to ICU on six west... "
- How is he, Dr Ridlin, my son? - Just fine.
The new heart is functioning on its own and barring complications
your boy should live a long and happy life.
Oh, thank you.
It was a stroke of luck really to find a donor to match your son's blood type.
Whoever that donor was, he's a Godsend.
I don't know about that, Doc, but he was a hero.
"Anonymous Man Donates Heart to Dying Boy"
Good for you, little brother.
Good for you.
