[Driver] Express will be in 20 minutes. Next local in 25.
[Jarod] Bye.
[Laughs] I love that song.
Hey, what happens when you get to "zero bottles of beer on the wall"?
Excuse me.
Hmm.
"Twin... kies."
- [Chuckles] They come two in a pack. - [Man] Yeah.
Would you sell this for, uh...
twenty dollars?
Thank you.
Hmm. This is fascinating.
Cake with frosting injected inside.
- Hmm. - Technically, it's filling.
Whatever it is, it's tasty.
[Chuckles] I'm Jarod.
Dan Healy.
Hi, Dan. Is that your family?
My wife, Susan, my son Todd.
Just made All-Conference third straight year.
Hmm. You must be very proud.
They're my whole life.
How about you? Any family photos?
Um, yes.
Um, this is my mother.
This is my brother. And this belonged to my father.
Distinguished Flying Cross.
He gave it to my brother, and my brother passed it on to me.
A flying ace for a father.
Are you close?
I was separated from my family when I was a-a boy. I'm searching for them.
- I hope you find 'em, Jarod. - Thank you.
That's the express. It doesn't stop here.
Just remember:
There's nothin' more important than family.
- No! - [Brakes Screeching]
[Grunts]
- No.! - [People Chattering]
- [Man] What's the matter with him? - [Groaning]
Stay with me. Stay with me. Somebody call an ambulance!
[Man] Yeah, yeah. I'll take care of it.
I let 'em down, Jarod. I let 'em all down.
[Jarod] No.! No.!
No.
[Man Narrating] There are Pretenders among us.
[Jarod] I was taken from my family.
Thirty-six hours and he's 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 spent every moment searching for my past.
[Miss Parker] He's a Pretender-
A genius who can become anyone that he wants to be.
- The Centre wants him alive. - Preferably.
[Miss Parker] He defends the weak and abused.
Life's a gift.
- You a doctor? - I am today.
[Chattering]
[Sobbing] Jesus!
Oh, Jesus! Danny, please!
Danny. Danny. [Sobbing]
[Police Radio Chatter]
[Sobbing] Oh, Danny.
How is he?
He's alive, thanks to you. You should've been a paramedic.
He's still unconscious, but he's stable.
[Jarod] His family.
They seem like good people. Why the hell would a guy do this?
I don't know.
[Sobbing]
Please. Please.
[Man] Okay, let's put him in the ambulance.
Ma'am, you should ride with us.
[Ambulance Doors Closing, Engine Starting]
[Siren Wailing]
[Young Sydney] Is suicide the answer?
I set myself on fire because I'm convinced it'll send a message, Sydney.
It'll stop the war.
We understand that.
But what are you feeling?
Stay with the simulation, Jarod.
But he had people who loved him.
[Sighs] How could he do that to them?
[Young Sydney] That's not significant to the simulation.
Family's important to everyone, Sydney.
What he's doing won't stop the war.
It'll just destroy a family.
Why would someone wanna do this?
Jarod, suicide's not just an action.
It's a cry for help.
- [Beeps] - [Sighs] I only hope I can.
[Woman] Questions remain about a deadly spill inside ECS...
a private firm specializing in hazardous materials cleanup.
We've obtained exclusive fire department footage...
taken immediately after a container...
of deadly MZT foam ruptured during routine storage.
Three ECS workers were killed when the concentrated pesticide...
burned through their lungs and paralyzed their nervous systems.
ECS spokesperson Curt Wilkes.
ECS is engaged in a full and thorough investigation of this tragedy.
Our hearts go out to the families of those employees lost.
[Reporter] We caught up to ECS engineer Dan Healy.
- Any response on the deaths of these workers? - Not now.
- They were my friends. - People deserve answers, Mr. Healy.
- They were my friends. - Yes, but are they dead because of you?
I tested the seal.
They were my friends. I let them down.
[Jarod, Reading] "Dear Susan and Todd'"-
[Dan's Voice] "I have failed you as a husband and a father...
"Just as I failed my friends and coworkers.
"I'm sorry for the nightmare I've made of your lives. You deserve better.
Love, Dan. '"
[Woman] Welcome to ECS, Jarod.
I read in my orientation packet that the company amassed...
a $75 million profit last year.
Yep. And that Taiwanese tanker we just pumped free of bilge and crude...
their shipping line is one of our biggest clients.
[Jarod] This is very interesting.
You process the waste through this system.
What comes out is highly concentrated.
And highly deadly.
We secure the waste, we seal it in these level "A" containers...
and then we ship it off to some salt mine in Nevada...
where it won't give anybody any trouble for a while.
High-grade polyethylene container.
It should last about 20,000 years.
- Yeah. Dick Clark will be the only one around to open it. - [Woman] Funny, Strickland.
Do you have any recommendations on how we seal this crude?
It's highly combustible, highly toxic.
Since it's in a level "A" container, I would suggest...
a double-polymer neoprene and graphite seal.
That's the right box, wrong ribbon.
We're going back to the black anti-corrosive polymer seal.
The red ones Dan Healy designed. It's no longer in use.
Because of the MZT accident?
[Woman] Yeah.
Wear this.
As a remembrance?
And a reminder.
[Whistling] Good morning, Miss Parker.
- Broots. - Sydney.
You're looking... refreshed.
New underpants will do that to you.
- [Chuckles] - Sydney, you made a funny.
Stole it, I'm afraid.
- Last night, I went on a date. - You had a date?
That's when two people actually meet instead...
of typing to each other on a computer keyboard.
So, if it was a date, how can you be sure that those are your underpants?
Bernice and I went to this amusing little place.
The Chocolate.
[Both Laugh]
You, uh-You-You went to a comedy club?
New experiences keep my psychiatric skills finely tuned.
- Not to mention that slam-bang wit. - Exactly!
How many psychiatrists does it take to change one lightbulb?
Oh, wait, wait. Wait, wait. Oh, oh, oh, oh.
Uh-
Uh-Wait, wait.
Okay, go ahead. Tell us. Wait, wait.
Oh, wait, wait, wait. Oh, oh, oh, oh. Wait.
Don't tell us.
Sydney, you're supposed to say the punch line... now. Sydney?
I got the transpo report for you, Gibbs.
Forty-seven containers. Almost a record.
Check this out.
You're a funny guy, Strickland.
Gotcha! [Laughs]
Have a little respect, will ya?
People died here a few weeks ago.
Easy, Hunsaker. They were my friends too.
Hell, Larry taught me that gag.
He would've thought it was funny.
[Wilkes] You eat that stuff?
They're very good.
Food of the gods.
- Dupont, right? - Uh, yes, that's me.
M.I.T., Exxon Valdez, Kuwait.
It takes a long time to build that kind of résumé.
Well, actually, I typed it in four minutes.
[Wilkes Chuckles] That's funny.
I'm Curt Wilkes, Media Relations.
Nice to meet you.
I just, uh, came down here to make clear that no ECS employee...
under any circumstances, is to discuss the MZTaccident with the press.
They're makin' a meal out of, uh, Dan Healy's suicide attempt.
I wonder how that happened.
Dan will have his say when and if he regains consciousness.
Don't give the state a reason to railroad him. Got it?
Oh, he doesn't want Dan railroaded? He's the conductor.
[Sam] This is not good.
I want you to sweep the Centre for Sydney.
Every corner in every room on every sublevel.
If he walked out, I want the sign-out sheet.
And, Sam, be low key.
Yes, Miss Parker.
This is-This is really quacked.
It's the Centre, Broots.
People have a tendency to vanish.
Like Mr. Lyle.
- Have you ever seen Sydney lose it like this before? - Once.
Really? Over what?
It was personal.
I hope he's okay. Do you think- Do you think he's okay?
You tell me.
[Chattering]
[Man's Voice, Distant] Help.! Help.! Somebody, please.!
Oh, God.!
Larry, help me.!
You saw them die, didn't you?
It was like nothing I've ever seen.
They were hoisting the container up in the truck.
- The first one just blew. - [Sighs]
No one was wearing their protective gear?
Hunsaker had signaled it "all clear."
The MZT took about 20 seconds to turn their insides into mush.
I hit the alarm, and I ran in there with Strickland...
but by the time we got in there...
it had already eaten through them.
They never had a chance.
[Sighs] You know, Dan was so careful.
He worked on this for three years. Tested and re-tested this.
Not against MZT.
It doesn't make any sense.
Is that why you defend him in front of Wilkes?
Oh, that snake only cares about the corporate image.
You know, Dan was devastated.
He shouldn't go down for doin' his job.
[Woman On P.A.] Dr. Standard, report to Pathology.
Dr. Standard to Pathology.
- He needs to see you. - Ma, I can't.
Todd. Todd, please.
No, I'm not goin' in there!
Excuse me.
- Oh, um- - l-I fixed it for him.
You were at the bus bench.
You helped Dan.
Hi. l-I didn't get a chance to thank you.
- I'm Jarod. - Susan.
Hi, Susan.
How is he doing?
Oh, uh, the doctors won't know for a while.
He may never, uh-
Is that your son?
Todd, right?
- Yeah, Todd. - Dan talked about him.
He doesn't wanna see his father.
I don't know why I'm bothering you with our problems.
Sometimes it's nice to talk to someone who isn't a reporter.
Mmm.
Every day, those vultures askin'...
did his father kill those people.
I think he's starting to believe it.
[Broots] This is a very bad idea.
If Mr. Raines finds out we got Angelo to help us, he's gonna ask questions.
Uncle Fester will never know Lurch was missing.
How long do you think it's gonna take him to feel what Sydney was feeling?
[Grunts, Yells]
That answer your question?
[Grunts]
Jarod drew this. Who is he?
[Groaning]
[Broots] "Le Morte."
Who's Le Morte?
The one who brings death.
[Gibbs On Radio] This is ECS 24, pulling up now to the accident site.
ECS tanker warning indicators are telling me it's got a full load of trypto-chlorinol.
[Strickland] Geez, look at all the fumes.
[Hunsaker] We got us a major core leak.
We'll attempt an on-site depressurization.
- Anyone call the paramedics? - I'll make sure.
[Strickland] Pressure tank indicates 3,000 and rising fast.
[Hunsaker] This sucker's gonna blow if we don't pump fast.
- Update me. - Uh, it's already up to 4,000.
Come on, Hunsaker.! Latch on.!
- Are you okay? - My mommy's in there!
Dupont, let the paramedics take care of him!
- [Strickland] Forty-five hundred. - I'm going to help your mom.
[Jarod] Gibbs.! Get him out ofhere.
[Strickland] 4,750 and rising. Let's go.!
Come on.! Latch on, Hunsaker.!
- Can you hear me? - [Strickland] Five thousand.
You're going to be okay.
- I'm going to help you. - Fifty-two hundred.
Are you suicidal? Dupont, put that suit back on.
- She's pinned in the car. The fumes are gonna kill her. - 5,700.!
[Hunsaker] If this tanker goes up, we and half of Alameda County are history.
Fifty-eight hundred.! Come on, people.!
Your son is okay. Now, breathe into this.
Sixty-three hundred. Sixty-five hundred.
Pop this pimple, or it's gonna get ugly!
[Grunts]
Sixty-three hundred.! Comin'down.
- Oh, God, I love this job! - [Cheering]
[Gibbs] All right.! Yeah.!
- One of our senior Expeditors? - [Broots] Uh, no, actually.
He's an optometrist from upstate New York.
His name is Martin Zeller. He has a little office on Main Street.
He wrote out 253 eyeglass prescriptions last year...
and gives out little lemon lollipops.
Sydney freaked out over Floyd the Barber?
[Sighs] Well, just before this was taken...
he was on this elevator.
The Tower elevator. So, he's probably a client.
Let me seeJarod's sketch again.
[Broots] It's gone.
- Hey, Todd. - Look, no comment.
- I'm not a reporter. - Then what do you want?
I came here to tell you that I think your father is innocent.
I guess that's why he jumped in front of a bus.
Man, get out of my face.
I was with him on the bench.
You're the guy who saved his life?
I wish I could have moved faster.
My father didn't care about his life or ours.
Why should you?
[Air Hissing]
Nothing.
Nineteen bottles ofbeer on the wall
Nineteen bottles of beer
If one of the bottles should happen to fall
[Humming]
- What's in that? - MZT.
- Are you crazy? - Relax. Dan's seal is holding.
- It is? - Yes.
And it has been for the last five hours.
The accident wasn't Dan's fault.
He didn't kill Larry Meyers.
Well, if he didn't, who did?
Eighteen bottles of beer on the wall
Eighteen bottles ofbeer
[Humming]
[Electronic Voice] You have new mail.
[Young Jarod] Is this the man?
[Young Sydney] No, no, no! The eyes are wrong.
Put yourself in the mind of a police sketch artist. Think.
[Young Jarod] Well, it would help if I knew who he was. Is he your father?
No. Here.
Along the middle of the right eyebrow, a spot. An imperfection.
Yes.
That's it.
But his eyes-
Sydney, are you crying?
Of course not.
Did that man hurt you?
[Jarod On Phone] Sydney's in trouble, isn't he?
[Sighs]
How is it that you know everything that's happening in this place?
Intuition.
We saw your little drawing of Martin Zeller.
- Who is he? - I don't know exactly.
But I remember how Sydney was feeling when I ran that simulation.
Who is he?
If Sydney wants to tell you, he will.
Just find out where the Centre travel office has put Zeller up.
- Sydney will be there. - How do I know this isn't one of your boondoggles, Jarod?
If you care about Sydney at all, go alone.
No Sweepers, no Cleaners.
I just hope you get there in time.
In time for what?
To stop him.
[Knocking]
[German Accent] I'm starving. You should have been here 20 minutes ago. You're late!
You're right. I'm very late.
You don't remember me.
There were so many of us, you can't remember the names.
I don't know what you're talking about. You're a madman.
You should hear every name.
But your time has run out.
[Chuckles]
At my age, time means nothing.
Maybe this still does.
[Gun Cocks]
Do it, if you will.
Frankly, I'm tired of hiding.
No.
That's too easy. You will hear me out.
Ja? And then?
Then... I will kill you.
[Thunder Rumbling]
Who won the fight?
- Man, go to hell. - I guess you were defending him.
The father that you said you don't care about.
All-Conference three years in a row.
He's proud of you.
- He told me. - When?
Just before he tried to kill himself?
- All he was thinking about was you and your mother. - Come on, man!
He thought by killing himself, he could stop the questions-
that he would ease the pressure on both of you.
I'm not saying it's right.
It's just what he was feeling.
An insect made out of metal and wire?
- Fishing lure. - Oh.
- Like bait. - Yeah.
Dad makes them as a hobby.
This is my lucky one.
It got me a bite every time we went for trout.
I saw a picture of you and your father fishing. It looks like fun.
[Chuckles] You never went fishing with your dad?
I wasn't lucky enough to know my father.
You know yours.
Take advantage of it.
What is it?
Um...
the night before-
before he was on that bench with you...
we had a really bad fight, and I said some stupid stuff.
I told him that-that the accident was his fault. I told-
What did you say?
I told him he didn't deserve to live.
I don't want him to die.
I don't want my father to die.
[Door Opens, Closes]
- [Honks Horn] - Jarod.
- I thought I'd give you a hand. - Ah.
I even brought you a cup of coffee.
Ah! Not so fast, M.I.T.
You're not the only one with a chemistry degree.
- Impressive. - [Grunts]
Why is someone with your seniority and your chemistry background...
still doing a nasty job like transpo?
You could double your salary in research and development.
Yeah, double my migraines.
Here, pull over. I gotta check on this one.
[Whistling "Ninety-nine Bottles Of Beer On The Wall"]
Gotcha.
Almost looks like an accident, doesn't it?
- These are release papers. - Mm-hmm.
- So what? - You signed out 52 containers.
- Yeah? - Only 42 were buried in Nevada.
Where'd the other 10 go?
Horace Strickland had them delivered to drug dealers.
Strickland had a felony drug-smuggling charge on his F.B.I. record.
Heroin.
My guess is he was smuggling them in the extra containers.
Who would examine a container labeled "hazardous"?
Strickland's bank account was getting pretty fat...
minus a few payments to Larry Meyers.
Meyers was in on this?
He was extorting money out of Strickland...
threatening to blow the whistle on the operation.
So on the day of the accident...
Strickland spiked the MZT shipment...
so that it would eat through Dan's new seal...
and eat through Larry Meyers.
[Young Sydney] It's him.
Who is he?
I received a package of my family's belongings today, Jarod.
It was lost for a very long time.
This picture is of my brother Jacob and myself.
Our first Communion.
[Young Jarod] He's your twin?
Jacob's all the family I have.
[Young Jarod] I wish I had a family.
Jean Mikhail lived with his family...
on the little farm they built near Lyon.
And his work only mattered to him in so far...
as it helped his wife, Greta, and his two sons.
- [Thunder Rumbling] - Twin sons.
Sydney.
You do remember.
Jakob was your brother.
Very good, Herr Doktor.
And he's all the family I have left...
'cause the rest you murdered...
because they were of no use to you.
Who are you to pass judgment?
Who?
This is forJean Mikhail, and this is for Greta!
- [Door Bursts Open] - Sydney!
No!
Oh, my-
- Who is Mr. Zeller? - There is no Zeller. This is Dr. Krieg.
Dr. Werner Krieg.
The ambitious, young physician...
assigned to Dachau in 1944.
- The Nazis were testing us. - Oh, God.
They were looking for ways...
to accelerate the reproduction of the master race.
Jacob and I became Krieg's favorite subjects.
We were only children.
He sent our whole family to the gas chambers...
so that he could have us for his experiments.
Sydney, you're notJewish.
I'm a twin, remember?
Strickland. A big shipment needs transport tonight.
I'm happy to help if you need me.
Oh, I figured you'd want to be alone.
[Whistling "Ninety-Nine Bottles Of Beer On The Wall"]
Geez, Jarod. You scared the wind out of me.
Looks like we have one more item.
That's MZT. I don't have any gear on.
Neither did Larry Meyers.
- Or the other two victims. Did they, Horace? - That's not funny.
Neither is death by MZT. Is it?
Gotcha!
Jarod.! I can't move in here.
I would relax if I were you.
You're going to be in there for the next, oh, 20,000 years.
- Jarod, that's MZT. - Mm-hmm.
The deadliest pesticide in the world.
Turns your insides into jelly.
But it won't corrode Dan Healy's seal, will it?
Yes! Yes! It already did!
Of course, because you added... this to it...
so you could get rid of your blackmailer, Larry Meyers...
and continue smuggling drugs.
- I didn't do anything. - You murdered three people.
You framed Dan Healy.
He was convinced that the only way that he could protect his family...
was to leave his wife without a husband and his son without a father.
You destroyed his life, didn't you?
Didn't you? Didn't you? Didn't you?
Yes! Yes! Now, don't do this to me!
Why not? You did it to them.
Jarod? Jarod!
Wait.! Jarod.! Jarod.!
Jarod!
- Jarod.! - [Whistling]
Jarod.! [Gasping]
Aah! Jarod! No!
[Gasping, Panting]
Jarod.!
Whoo!
Twinkie cream.
The food of the gods.
Are you familiar with Nietzsche, Doctor?
Mm-hmm. Yes.
You're like the madman who runs into the marketplace...
screaming for God.
But you'll never find him, because God is dead.
God is dead, and you killed him.
We are both professionals, Doctor.
I know who you work for.
I know the work they do, the work you do.
What do you think would have happened to you andJakob...
if I had not selected you?
Huh? Would you be here now...
so full of purpose?
If God is dead, we all killed him.
Sydney?
Do you remember the day...
my mother was buried?
I'll never forget that day.
You made me feel safe-
safer than my own father-
and all you did...
was hold my hand.
Mmm.
Give me your gun.
He is a monster.
Do yourself and the world a favor.
I can't.
Why?
Jarod.
Don't you see?
I became the monster.
The other day on the bench...
I realize now...
I did the wrong thing for all the wrong reasons.
The important thing is you're here now.
Like someone once said:
"Nothing's more important than family."
- [Chuckles] - [Door Opens]
Dad?
I love you.
This will bring you luck too.
Thank you.
Thank you. Mmm.
Take care, Twinkie man.
[Young Jarod] I wish I had a family.
What's that, Sydney?
From the war.
You were in a concentration camp?
My brother and I were kept in a cold and dark place...
for many years.
Like the Centre?
Not exactly, Jarod.
[Young Jarod] Did they hurt you?
Not as much as they hurt my family.
They killed them all.
I'll be your family.
I just got word, Syd. Dr. Krieg's been extradited to Israel.
This just arrived.
Miss Parker?
Thank you.
Syd?
How many psychiatrists does it take to change a lightbulb?
One.
But the lightbulb has to want to change.
- Are you all right? - [Sydney] Yes, I am.
All my life I have raged against him, Jarod.
But when I saw him the last time...
I saw myself.
You're not a monster, Sydney.
And you're still... my family.
Tell me something.
Have you ever been fishing?
Why?
Maybe we'll go someday...
just you and me.
