Kyle XY (2006–2009): Season 1, Episode 10 - Endgame - full transcript
David and Julia Peterson insist Kyle is their son Noah, missing since five years, and announce proof by DNA test, but Kyle isn't impressed, in fact as he discusses with Declan it's all at odds with what he knows about Kern and Adam. While pa has completely broken with religion, Josh had high expectations for church service as an opportunity to dress up for Ashleigh who is getting her Catholic confirmation, but gets a turn-off, while Kyle is instrumental in making Hillary find out Charlie has 'just sex' with her while his heart beats for Amanda, unfaithfully. Kyle pushes to get the truth from Foss, but is abducted with chloroform, which rekindles more memories; next Kyle saves Tom from the Company's sniper, and makes him tell the whole truth... Back with the Tragers, Kyle announces he remembers his Peterson past and is ready to rejoin them in Connecticut, the very next day. Only ma considers it the crowning of a professional success, everyone else is heartbroken to loose Kyle, Josh even too badly to stay around the last day.
Previously on Kyle XY:
What is it?
It's you.
1985?
I found out his name.
The guy in the photo.
Adam Baylin.
Adam Baylin has been missing
for 20 years.
You gotta stop
asking questions.
Forget about the past.
Because if you don't
they'll kill you, Kyle.
781227 was scheduled for
termination two months ago.
This company cannot
afford to have that
subject loose in
the outside world.
- Kyle!
- It's all gonna be OK.
I've got a great thing going,
and I'm not gonna ruin it.
Great for you.
Go out with Amanda,
tap Hilary on the side.
I can't help feeling
that I've let you down.
Let me down?
You made me feel
like I was your son.
Noah, is that really you?
Who are you?
It's Mom.
We finally found you.
Stephen: The kids
called from the
car. Apparently,
he had a seizure.
Lori: It's gonna be OK.
We're gonna figure this out.
That's about what happened.
It's all we've been
talking about.
Kyle: At a glance,
anyone would believe
the Petersons and
I were related.
They'd say I had
her mouth and his chin.
But I wanted more
than a passing resemblance.
Instead of thinking
they could be my parents,
I needed to feel
that they were.
They look like nice people.
What the hell kind
of name is Noah?
I can't believe you.
Kyle's getting hauled off.
Can't you think
of something decent to say?
It's not like I
want him to go.
He doesn't even
look like a Noah.
Do you think they'll want to
take me home with them soon?
Maybe.
I don't know.
We'd lived in Hong Kong for
two years when it happened.
Five years ago Noah left for
school and never came home.
There were no clues,
from the beginning.
Still, we never stopped
looking for him.
We never stopped hoping.
And finally, out of nowhere,
a hit on a missing
person Web site.
We couldn't tell
from the picture,
but after talking
to the detective
and now seeing him...
I used to call him
my wandering wonder.
Sharp, inquisitive.
Studying everything,
taking it all in.
Kyle is... I'm sorry.
We're so used to
calling him that.
We understand.
Kyle is special.
And different in many ways.
He was born with some
physical defects.
His organs weren't
all in the right place.
Corrective surgeries
have made him as good as new,
but without a bellybutton.
- We have so many questions.
- So do we.
David: Well, they'll
have to wait.
The hospital arranged
some DNA tests to
verify paternity.
In the meantime...
We were told that
Noah has no memory
from the day before
he was found.
I put this photo
album together.
Thought it might
jog some memories.
You said you had answers.
Kyle: Foss! Listen to me.
I know you're there.
Who are these people?
I have questions.
- Go ahead.
- Where am I from?
Well, let's see.
You were born in Manhattan.
And from there we moved
around a little bit.
DC, Connecticut, Hong Kong.
Do I have brothers
or sisters?
We only wanted one.
- Pets?
- We're both allergic.
Kyle, slow down.
Maybe if we tell
you some stories.
You remember the
old claw foot tub?
From the house in Connecticut?
When we were moving
to Hong Kong, Noah
kept insisting he
didn't want to go
because he didn't
know what the tub
would be like. David,
as a surprise,
had the tub shipped.
He jumped in it as soon as
we took it out of the crate.
- Slept in it that night.
- And every night until...
Is there anything
else you want to ask?
Yes. Who's Adam Baylin?
- Doesn't sound familiar.
- Professor William Kern?
Who?
This logo? Do
you recognize it?
Nicole: Kyle.
No, they act
like they know me.
They can't tell me anything
to help me remember.
They don't know why
people are missing
or how these people
are connected to me.
It's a lot to take in.
It seems like for
all of you, five
years is just gone.
Let's go, people.
God is waiting.
You want to go to Amanda's
confirmation with me?
Sure. Church is neat.
And I never get a chance
to wear this suit.
When do you ever
wear that suit?
And when did you start reeking
of my aftershave?
- What's her name?
- OK.
Maybe there's
this girl named
Ashleigh that I
met at a party.
Maybe she goes to Holy Family
and sings in the choir.
And maybe she finds the scent
of a man irresistible.
Tuck in your shirt.
The Lord hates a slob.
Watch yourself. Church
isn't supposed to be fun.
Oh, is that why you never go?
God, she's hot.
Oh, my God, can I
even say "God"?
Sorry.
Kyle: Everywhere
I looked, church
provided unsettling
contrasts.
People whose
beliefs encouraged
honesty also
practiced betrayal.
There was a lot about church
I didn't understand,
but I did know that faith
meant believing in something,
often without tangible proof.
I wondered if I'd be able to
do the same with the Petersons
and come to accept
them wholeheartedly.
What's he putting on her head?
Everyone else is
being quiet, Josh.
I think we should
be quiet too.
Did the church walls crumble
at the sight of you?
Very funny.
Yeah, I'd gotten used to Kyle
having no memories.
It feels kind of
strange to have
his whole life laid
out before us.
Well, he looks happy
in these photos.
- How you doing?
- I'm fine.
You can't be fine.
I'm not fine.
Since day one,
he's been searching for clues
to who he is and
where he comes from.
And now he knows.
For me to be upset
would just be selfish.
Or human.
I'm fine.
I'm just so proud of her.
Oh.
- Look, it's our neighbor.
- Hi.
- Hi.
- Charlie: Hey, Kyle.
Good to see you
feeling better.
Thanks.
Amanda, I think we should go
and thank the bishop now.
- We already thanked him.
- Amanda.
OK. God.
Her mother is a piece of work.
I think Amanda has
bigger problems right now.
I know about Hilary.
You can't tell her.
I'm not the one who should.
- Men are such dogs.
- Gee, thanks.
You've proven yourself
to be moderately un-doglike.
Amanda's the nicest girl
in the universe.
How could he cheat on her?
She's a nice girl
who doesn't believe
in sex before marriage,
and he's a guy.
- That's hideous logic.
- But accurate.
- Josh: Church sucks.
- Lori: News flash.
- Did you get the DNA results?
- Not yet.
The police run their plates?
Have they done anything
to prove the Petersons
are who they say?
They're not criminals, Declan.
They're a nice,
married couple from
Connecticut who
lost their son.
- I just want to make sure.
- Josh: He has a point.
I mean, aliens can't just land
their craft on the front yard
and get Kyle without
drawing attention.
They hatched the
perfect plan.
We invite them
into our home, and
they make off
with our alien.
What?
You wanted to see me, Ms.
Thatcher?
Every day that subject 781227
remains alive,
we risk someone
discovering his abilities.
He's always
surrounded by people.
It makes it very complicated
to try to take him out.
But I do have a
plan in motion.
Just find a moment when he's
alone and get rid of him.
I do not want any evidence
of our experiment to exist
outside the walls
of this company.
Declan: Let's think
this through.
You remember being
in a car on a rainy night.
And seeing Tom Foss
kill Kern in the woods.
Then you
woke up alone.
With no memory of
what just happened.
No memories at all.
We know Professor Kern
was connected to Adam Baylin,
who looked just
like me 20 years
ago before he
disappeared.
I'm also ruling out time
travel and aliens in pink goo.
It's too ridiculous.
And Adam Baylin drew a picture
of the keycard logo.
Which you subconsciously drew.
Which led me to a location
I couldn't identify.
Then your supposed
real parents show up.
With no idea of where I've
been for the past five years
or why I can do the
things I can do.
I got nothing.
But you're not a
superhero, either.
I wish more things
would come back
to me. They're
trapped in my head.
I bet Tom Foss could put
those pieces together.
We can't go near Foss.
It's too dangerous.
You should have seen Charlie
all clean-cut and churchy,
holding her hand
like a freaking choir boy.
Too bad she can't make
him sing like I can.
Hil, I hate to be all
doom and gloomy,
but you know this can't
end well, right?
I know he doesn't
want to hurt her
right now because
she lost her dad,
but I can wait.
And what happens
if he dumps her for you?
You're with a guy who's
cheating on his girlfriend.
What's to say
he won't do that to you?
How are you suddenly
a relationship expert?
It's not like Declan's
Mr. Ideal Boyfriend.
No, but weirdly enough,
I trust him.
- Turnaround of the century.
- Crazy?
But sweet.
I'm happy for you.
Amanda: I didn't get a chance
to thank you for my present.
It was really thoughtful.
Saint Colette is...
Patron saint of people
who've lost a parent.
Yeah.
We haven't had the
chance to talk about
what's happened to
you since yesterday.
You want to?
You should be happy.
You don't look happy.
I'm not.
Funny thing about my
religion, there's
a saint for pretty
much everything.
Cab drivers,
stomachaches, geese.
There's even a patron saint
for bald people.
Sometimes I wonder,
if everything's covered,
then why do so many bad things
happen to people?
I realized that everyone
needs something
to get us through
the bad stuff.
So I need a saint.
The patron saint of lost pasts
and confusing futures.
Any idea where I can find one?
Why are they coming again?
Nothing's triggered
recognition. The
more they get to
know each other,
the more hope
of Kyle remembering them.
Unless there's
nothing to remember.
Josh has spun an
alien conspiracy
theory of epic
proportions.
This is difficult, but we have
to start dealing with the idea
that Kyle might be leaving us.
What's the matter?
I just got off the phone
with the hospital.
The DNA is a match.
Well, now we know.
I'm not going with them.
Damn straight.
Kyle, of course
we don't want to lose you,
- but it's not that easy.
- They're your family.
You're my family.
I don't care what the test
says, they're strangers to me.
How can I go live
with them when
you're the only
family I know?
- Kyle, wait.
- Honey.
Kyle: I'd read
the story of the
father who
sacrificed his son
for the good of all mankind.
I wondered if having faith
meant making our
own sacrifices
for the good of others.
You can kneel if you want to.
Helps sometimes.
Gets you in the mood to pray.
I've never prayed before.
It's simple.
It's like telling your
troubles to a friendly ear.
I'm in search of a saint.
Well, you picked a good place.
What do you need a saint for?
I don't know where I belong.
I don't know where
I come from.
But I'm supposed to go there,
wherever it is,
with people I don't know.
That's a lot to handle.
I don't know what to do.
And I'm not sure how any of
this here is supposed to help.
Well, whether or not you
consider yourself a believer,
there's someone out
there who made you,
who cares about you very much.
In the midst of a
confusing situation,
you may not be able to see
or appreciate him,
but he's there
and he wants you
to have the
answers to all of
your questions.
When?
When the time is right.
Kyle: I didn't know where I
was or who had taken me.
But it seemed the
danger I had been
warned of had finally
come to pass.
The memories that haunted me
came flooding in again.
Was I remembering my past?
Or was history
repeating itself?
Julia and I prayed
for his safety.
We were thankful
he was taken in
by people like
you and Nicole.
Are you a religious family?
I take it you're not.
Well, I was raised
to be, but it
got away from me
over the years.
Yeah, we never
used to be either,
but when you
lose a child,
somehow you need a kind of
higher power for comfort.
I can't blame him
for being scared.
We're strangers to him. And
he's like a stranger to us.
Maybe he's not
the only one who's scared.
What if those five years
have changed him somehow?
They've changed me.
He's still the
same boy you knew.
No matter what happened.
He's still got a sweet tooth.
I caught him putting
Sour Patch Kids on his cereal.
- Oh, my.
- Yeah.
And he's funny.
You know, not just his humor,
but the way he looks
at the world.
I mean, he can turn
everything and
show it to you in
a whole new way.
And he's got such a strong
sense of what's right,
and he's so quick
to learn and so
eager to connect
with other people.
Like he's connected with you.
With all of us.
Kyle: Once again
I was in a familiar place,
where my story began.
But suddenly,
like a flash, the
whole story fell
into place.
Don't do this.
Zzyzx ordered you
to exterminate him.
I can't let either
of you walk away.
You were
Baylin's mentor.
He trusted you.
Now you're working for them.
Baylin gave up any
claim on the boy
when he turned
on the company.
They want the boy dead.
I finally had a
piece of the truth.
Now it was time
to get the rest.
It's all right!
It's all right!
Settle down.
Listen to me.
It's OK.
I'm sorry about
the chloroform.
I tried to get
the jump on you
before and it wasn't
pretty, so...
I remember what happened...
with Kern.
The two of you
were talking about
Adam Baylin, something
called Zzyzx.
Is that connected
with the location
I discovered in
Baylin's papers?
The logo?
This is why I warned you
to stop asking questions.
You didn't bring me out here
to lecture me.
- No.
- Then why?
Because I thought
it would help you remember.
Did you hear something?
What?
Get down! Get down! Go! Go!
Are you all right?
Come on! Give me your arm!
Go! Get in! Get in!
You don't know how to drive.
Hold on.
Go!
Declan: Hey.
What are you
doing here?
Driving through
the neighborhood
and felt the strains
of downer lesbian
music emanating
from your house.
Thought you might
need a boost.
Let me guess, you
think I should
heal my pain
through sex?
I was going for a
heavy-duty mack
session, but if
you insist...
It freaks me out, I
spent so much time
not caring if Kyle
was here or not...
and now that he might leave...
- He's not going anywhere.
- You sound like Josh.
- He's got a life here.
A trippy, no-memory,
messed-up life,
but it's still a life.
He's not gonna throw that away
for two people he has no
memory of ever knowing.
How can you be so sure?
Because the other ending
to that story's...
It's not something
I'm willing to accept.
You should've let me
take you to the hospital.
I'll take care of it.
Get out of here. Go.
I'm not getting
out of this car
until you've told
me everything.
You know most of it already.
We were in the woods.
And we were surprised by Kern.
And I killed him
because he was gonna kill you.
By the time I was
done getting
rid of the body,
you'd woken up
and you wandered
into the city and
got put in juvenile
detention.
Once Nicole Trager
took you in,
I just figured it
was smarter to...
keep an eye on.
Tell me more.
Tell me why people
want me dead,
why that test said David and
Julia Peterson were my parents
when I don't remember
anything about them.
Why don't I remember
anything before
that night in the
woods with Kern?
OK, I'll tell you.
David: Should we be worried
he's not back?
I think he got overwhelmed.
We'll talk to him.
We can try again tomorrow.
- That would be great.
- OK.
OK, thanks a lot
for your time.
You're welcome.
- Kyle.
- Noah.
Where you been? Doing OK?
Kyle: My mind was
racing with the
information I'd just
learned from Foss.
Foss, my patron saint of lost
pasts and confusing futures.
Everyone was there
in front of me.
The family who
took me in and the
family who wanted
to take me home.
And right then, I knew
exactly what I had to do.
I remember.
Mom.
Dad.
I remember you.
I remember the
vacation we had
when I was nine
to Hawaii.
I'd never seen a
palm tree before.
And you took me to
the science museum
where they had the
Whispering Corridors.
And we went sailing
near the waterfall,
on the boat with
the rainbow sail.
And every night
at the hotel, I'd
order the same
thing for dessert.
Banana split, hold the banana.
Can you tell us what
happened to you?
Where you've been
all this time?
Still a blank.
Well, once you get
home, I'm sure
you can find a
new therapist
who can help him recover
even more of his memory.
Why can't you still
be his therapist?
Yeah, you know him
better than anyone.
No offense.
The Petersons live
in Connecticut.
So how soon before you leave?
Well, we don't want
to rush anything.
I'll be ready to
go by tomorrow.
Now that I know, I'm ready.
I can't believe
he's leaving
before I got to
make out with him.
Kidding.
We should be happy for him.
Keep telling yourself that,
Sister Sunshine.
I thought this was supposed
to be a goodbye party.
I just don't get it.
You went from savant
amnesia victim to
banana split guy in,
like, two hours?
It all just came
rushing back.
Dude, I put
myself out for you.
I kept your secrets, almost
screwed things up with Lori.
I did everything to
help you get to the
bottom of the mystery
and now it's done?
Yes.
There's something
else going on here.
Something you're not
telling me about.
You've proven you
can keep my secrets.
If there was anything,
don't you think
I'd find a way to
bring you in on it?
This sucks.
Oh,
Did you two
break up or something?
All right. Look, man. I know
you think I'm a bad guy.
It's just, I know where Amanda
stands on the sex thing.
Look, I respect
her for it, I do.
You know, I would
give anything for
the self-control
to wait for her.
I mean, this whole thing with
Hilary, it's just physical.
It has nothing to do
with how much I love Amanda.
Great.
It's OK, I understand.
You have needs.
I have needs too.
Right now, I need to do this.
Don't judge me. I've seen
the way you look at Amanda.
You're dying to tell her.
I'm leaving in a few hours.
The only thing I want is to
know that after I'm gone,
she'll be surrounded
by trustworthy,
honest and kind people.
Because that's exactly
the kind of person she is.
- Bye, guys.
- Where are you off to?
Out.
I'm sure whatever
it is, it can wait.
Kyle will be
leaving soon.
Shouldn't you call
him Noah Peterson?
- That's his real name.
- Hey! Now that's not cool.
You get back here, Josh!
Stephen, he's
protecting himself
from some strong
emotions now.
He shouldn't be running off.
Well, just let him deal
with it in his own way.
Stephen?
What, Nicole?
Can't I be just a
little bit upset?
Yeah, Kyle's going off to his
home. That's where he belongs.
Doesn't make it any easier.
Through this whole thing,
you haven't faltered.
Not once.
Well, in my line of work,
this is what you hope for.
Most foster care stories
don't have happy endings.
For Kyle to be placed
with his real parents
and his memories
coming back...
I couldn't be happier.
Well.
That's why you're
my higher power.
You OK?
I'm totally not crying.
Water-proof mascara rules.
What happened?
You know the story.
Homewrecker-in-training
tragically rejected
by the heir to the
cheater's throne.
You can say you told me so.
What kind of homewrecker's
friend would that make me?
Put it behind you.
One day, you are gonna meet
a smart, faithful guy...
- Doctor. who will whisk
you off your feet.
In his convertible.
And you'll live
happily ever after.
Until the magnificent
divorce settlement.
Exactly.
Have you seen Charlie?
He just disappeared.
He's inside. Cleaning up.
I can't believe
you're leaving.
I'll see you again, though.
It's not like forever, right?
I don't want it to be.
OK.
Then no goodbyes.
No goodbyes.
Just, like... see you.
See you.
Come on.
Need any help?
I'm not taking much.
I bet Stephen will be glad
to have his workshop back.
I don't know.
He may want to
leave it this way
in case you want
to come visit.
That would be nice.
You're not taking these?
Something to remember us by?
I'll draw new ones.
Kyle, if Josh doesn't
make it home
to say goodbye,
it's not because...
I understand.
Thanks.
- Declan: Hey.
- Hey.
Come for a real goodbye?
Yeah, you know,
I don't want him to leave
with me all mad at him.
Totally un-doglike.
Don't make a
thing out of it.
Out of what?
The fact that you turned me
into a good guy.
I have?
What, Trager, you
think all this
sensitive crap
comes naturally?
Get real.
I feel like we're
having a moment.
I guess that's what happens
when you're in a relationship.
Yeah.
- Horrible, right?
- Awful.
- Hey.
- Hey.
We're all set here.
So you're finally
out of here?
Yep.
After all that,
you're just a
regular kid with
normal parents.
Apparently.
I liked you better
as an alien.
Don't worry. I still got a few
alien tricks up my sleeve.
Later.
Later.
- Thanks for everything.
- Take care, kid.
We'll call you every day.
Ready?
Ready.
Declan.
I left a few things for you.
They're in my room.
Thanks, man.
Kyle: I remember
the vacation we
had in Hawaii
when I was nine.
I had never seen a
palm tree before.
And you took me to
the science museum
where they had the
Whispering Corridors.
And we went sailing,
by the waterfall on the
boat with the rainbow sail.
You've proven you can
keep my secrets.
If there was anything,
don't you think
I'd find a way to
bring you in on it?
What you got there?
You two are very good liars.
It's our job.
Banana split,
hold the banana.
Had to seem authentic.
And the DNA test.
We were provided the
appropriate genetic material.
From who?
Oh, you'll meet him soon.
It's done.
Zzyzx will come after
you, you know.
Rebecca Thatcher
will make it her mission.
Yeah.
- What are you gonna do?
- I'll be ready.
What did you tell him?
Go with the Petersons to keep
the Tragers out of danger,
and I'd send him
to somebody
that could tell
him everything.
Good. I'll be waiting.
Kyle: Tell me more. Tell me
why people want me dead,
why that test said David and
Julia Peterson were my parents
when I don't remember
anything about them.
Why don't I remember
anything before
that night in the
woods with Kern?
OK, I'll tell you.
You don't
remember anything
before that night
because there's
nothing to remember.
What do you mean?
Before that night,
for all intents and
purposes, you...
You didn't exist.
Thatcher: I assume
the news isn't good.
According to
records, the boy's
been returned to
his birth parents.
That's amusing, considering
he doesn't have any.
I tried to find
out who they are,
but the paper trail led
to a series of dead ends.
As though he disappeared
without a trace.
Not entirely.
I have an idea who's
behind all of this.
Where are we?
All we were told was
to bring you here.
It's good to see
you again, Kyle.
I'm Adam Baylin.
What do you want from me?
What would you like to know?
Everything.
Then you should come with me.
Do you think they'll actually
tell him where he came from?
That he was nothing
more than a
scientific experiment?
A failed one?
Well, Baylin might disagree
with your assessment.
With being a failure?
After all, the boy
did what neither of
you intended him to
do when you started.
He survived in the
outside world.
I'll take care of 781227
and Adam Baylin.
In the meantime,
I've run the diagnostics.
781228 is in
excellent condition.
What is it?
It's you.
1985?
I found out his name.
The guy in the photo.
Adam Baylin.
Adam Baylin has been missing
for 20 years.
You gotta stop
asking questions.
Forget about the past.
Because if you don't
they'll kill you, Kyle.
781227 was scheduled for
termination two months ago.
This company cannot
afford to have that
subject loose in
the outside world.
- Kyle!
- It's all gonna be OK.
I've got a great thing going,
and I'm not gonna ruin it.
Great for you.
Go out with Amanda,
tap Hilary on the side.
I can't help feeling
that I've let you down.
Let me down?
You made me feel
like I was your son.
Noah, is that really you?
Who are you?
It's Mom.
We finally found you.
Stephen: The kids
called from the
car. Apparently,
he had a seizure.
Lori: It's gonna be OK.
We're gonna figure this out.
That's about what happened.
It's all we've been
talking about.
Kyle: At a glance,
anyone would believe
the Petersons and
I were related.
They'd say I had
her mouth and his chin.
But I wanted more
than a passing resemblance.
Instead of thinking
they could be my parents,
I needed to feel
that they were.
They look like nice people.
What the hell kind
of name is Noah?
I can't believe you.
Kyle's getting hauled off.
Can't you think
of something decent to say?
It's not like I
want him to go.
He doesn't even
look like a Noah.
Do you think they'll want to
take me home with them soon?
Maybe.
I don't know.
We'd lived in Hong Kong for
two years when it happened.
Five years ago Noah left for
school and never came home.
There were no clues,
from the beginning.
Still, we never stopped
looking for him.
We never stopped hoping.
And finally, out of nowhere,
a hit on a missing
person Web site.
We couldn't tell
from the picture,
but after talking
to the detective
and now seeing him...
I used to call him
my wandering wonder.
Sharp, inquisitive.
Studying everything,
taking it all in.
Kyle is... I'm sorry.
We're so used to
calling him that.
We understand.
Kyle is special.
And different in many ways.
He was born with some
physical defects.
His organs weren't
all in the right place.
Corrective surgeries
have made him as good as new,
but without a bellybutton.
- We have so many questions.
- So do we.
David: Well, they'll
have to wait.
The hospital arranged
some DNA tests to
verify paternity.
In the meantime...
We were told that
Noah has no memory
from the day before
he was found.
I put this photo
album together.
Thought it might
jog some memories.
You said you had answers.
Kyle: Foss! Listen to me.
I know you're there.
Who are these people?
I have questions.
- Go ahead.
- Where am I from?
Well, let's see.
You were born in Manhattan.
And from there we moved
around a little bit.
DC, Connecticut, Hong Kong.
Do I have brothers
or sisters?
We only wanted one.
- Pets?
- We're both allergic.
Kyle, slow down.
Maybe if we tell
you some stories.
You remember the
old claw foot tub?
From the house in Connecticut?
When we were moving
to Hong Kong, Noah
kept insisting he
didn't want to go
because he didn't
know what the tub
would be like. David,
as a surprise,
had the tub shipped.
He jumped in it as soon as
we took it out of the crate.
- Slept in it that night.
- And every night until...
Is there anything
else you want to ask?
Yes. Who's Adam Baylin?
- Doesn't sound familiar.
- Professor William Kern?
Who?
This logo? Do
you recognize it?
Nicole: Kyle.
No, they act
like they know me.
They can't tell me anything
to help me remember.
They don't know why
people are missing
or how these people
are connected to me.
It's a lot to take in.
It seems like for
all of you, five
years is just gone.
Let's go, people.
God is waiting.
You want to go to Amanda's
confirmation with me?
Sure. Church is neat.
And I never get a chance
to wear this suit.
When do you ever
wear that suit?
And when did you start reeking
of my aftershave?
- What's her name?
- OK.
Maybe there's
this girl named
Ashleigh that I
met at a party.
Maybe she goes to Holy Family
and sings in the choir.
And maybe she finds the scent
of a man irresistible.
Tuck in your shirt.
The Lord hates a slob.
Watch yourself. Church
isn't supposed to be fun.
Oh, is that why you never go?
God, she's hot.
Oh, my God, can I
even say "God"?
Sorry.
Kyle: Everywhere
I looked, church
provided unsettling
contrasts.
People whose
beliefs encouraged
honesty also
practiced betrayal.
There was a lot about church
I didn't understand,
but I did know that faith
meant believing in something,
often without tangible proof.
I wondered if I'd be able to
do the same with the Petersons
and come to accept
them wholeheartedly.
What's he putting on her head?
Everyone else is
being quiet, Josh.
I think we should
be quiet too.
Did the church walls crumble
at the sight of you?
Very funny.
Yeah, I'd gotten used to Kyle
having no memories.
It feels kind of
strange to have
his whole life laid
out before us.
Well, he looks happy
in these photos.
- How you doing?
- I'm fine.
You can't be fine.
I'm not fine.
Since day one,
he's been searching for clues
to who he is and
where he comes from.
And now he knows.
For me to be upset
would just be selfish.
Or human.
I'm fine.
I'm just so proud of her.
Oh.
- Look, it's our neighbor.
- Hi.
- Hi.
- Charlie: Hey, Kyle.
Good to see you
feeling better.
Thanks.
Amanda, I think we should go
and thank the bishop now.
- We already thanked him.
- Amanda.
OK. God.
Her mother is a piece of work.
I think Amanda has
bigger problems right now.
I know about Hilary.
You can't tell her.
I'm not the one who should.
- Men are such dogs.
- Gee, thanks.
You've proven yourself
to be moderately un-doglike.
Amanda's the nicest girl
in the universe.
How could he cheat on her?
She's a nice girl
who doesn't believe
in sex before marriage,
and he's a guy.
- That's hideous logic.
- But accurate.
- Josh: Church sucks.
- Lori: News flash.
- Did you get the DNA results?
- Not yet.
The police run their plates?
Have they done anything
to prove the Petersons
are who they say?
They're not criminals, Declan.
They're a nice,
married couple from
Connecticut who
lost their son.
- I just want to make sure.
- Josh: He has a point.
I mean, aliens can't just land
their craft on the front yard
and get Kyle without
drawing attention.
They hatched the
perfect plan.
We invite them
into our home, and
they make off
with our alien.
What?
You wanted to see me, Ms.
Thatcher?
Every day that subject 781227
remains alive,
we risk someone
discovering his abilities.
He's always
surrounded by people.
It makes it very complicated
to try to take him out.
But I do have a
plan in motion.
Just find a moment when he's
alone and get rid of him.
I do not want any evidence
of our experiment to exist
outside the walls
of this company.
Declan: Let's think
this through.
You remember being
in a car on a rainy night.
And seeing Tom Foss
kill Kern in the woods.
Then you
woke up alone.
With no memory of
what just happened.
No memories at all.
We know Professor Kern
was connected to Adam Baylin,
who looked just
like me 20 years
ago before he
disappeared.
I'm also ruling out time
travel and aliens in pink goo.
It's too ridiculous.
And Adam Baylin drew a picture
of the keycard logo.
Which you subconsciously drew.
Which led me to a location
I couldn't identify.
Then your supposed
real parents show up.
With no idea of where I've
been for the past five years
or why I can do the
things I can do.
I got nothing.
But you're not a
superhero, either.
I wish more things
would come back
to me. They're
trapped in my head.
I bet Tom Foss could put
those pieces together.
We can't go near Foss.
It's too dangerous.
You should have seen Charlie
all clean-cut and churchy,
holding her hand
like a freaking choir boy.
Too bad she can't make
him sing like I can.
Hil, I hate to be all
doom and gloomy,
but you know this can't
end well, right?
I know he doesn't
want to hurt her
right now because
she lost her dad,
but I can wait.
And what happens
if he dumps her for you?
You're with a guy who's
cheating on his girlfriend.
What's to say
he won't do that to you?
How are you suddenly
a relationship expert?
It's not like Declan's
Mr. Ideal Boyfriend.
No, but weirdly enough,
I trust him.
- Turnaround of the century.
- Crazy?
But sweet.
I'm happy for you.
Amanda: I didn't get a chance
to thank you for my present.
It was really thoughtful.
Saint Colette is...
Patron saint of people
who've lost a parent.
Yeah.
We haven't had the
chance to talk about
what's happened to
you since yesterday.
You want to?
You should be happy.
You don't look happy.
I'm not.
Funny thing about my
religion, there's
a saint for pretty
much everything.
Cab drivers,
stomachaches, geese.
There's even a patron saint
for bald people.
Sometimes I wonder,
if everything's covered,
then why do so many bad things
happen to people?
I realized that everyone
needs something
to get us through
the bad stuff.
So I need a saint.
The patron saint of lost pasts
and confusing futures.
Any idea where I can find one?
Why are they coming again?
Nothing's triggered
recognition. The
more they get to
know each other,
the more hope
of Kyle remembering them.
Unless there's
nothing to remember.
Josh has spun an
alien conspiracy
theory of epic
proportions.
This is difficult, but we have
to start dealing with the idea
that Kyle might be leaving us.
What's the matter?
I just got off the phone
with the hospital.
The DNA is a match.
Well, now we know.
I'm not going with them.
Damn straight.
Kyle, of course
we don't want to lose you,
- but it's not that easy.
- They're your family.
You're my family.
I don't care what the test
says, they're strangers to me.
How can I go live
with them when
you're the only
family I know?
- Kyle, wait.
- Honey.
Kyle: I'd read
the story of the
father who
sacrificed his son
for the good of all mankind.
I wondered if having faith
meant making our
own sacrifices
for the good of others.
You can kneel if you want to.
Helps sometimes.
Gets you in the mood to pray.
I've never prayed before.
It's simple.
It's like telling your
troubles to a friendly ear.
I'm in search of a saint.
Well, you picked a good place.
What do you need a saint for?
I don't know where I belong.
I don't know where
I come from.
But I'm supposed to go there,
wherever it is,
with people I don't know.
That's a lot to handle.
I don't know what to do.
And I'm not sure how any of
this here is supposed to help.
Well, whether or not you
consider yourself a believer,
there's someone out
there who made you,
who cares about you very much.
In the midst of a
confusing situation,
you may not be able to see
or appreciate him,
but he's there
and he wants you
to have the
answers to all of
your questions.
When?
When the time is right.
Kyle: I didn't know where I
was or who had taken me.
But it seemed the
danger I had been
warned of had finally
come to pass.
The memories that haunted me
came flooding in again.
Was I remembering my past?
Or was history
repeating itself?
Julia and I prayed
for his safety.
We were thankful
he was taken in
by people like
you and Nicole.
Are you a religious family?
I take it you're not.
Well, I was raised
to be, but it
got away from me
over the years.
Yeah, we never
used to be either,
but when you
lose a child,
somehow you need a kind of
higher power for comfort.
I can't blame him
for being scared.
We're strangers to him. And
he's like a stranger to us.
Maybe he's not
the only one who's scared.
What if those five years
have changed him somehow?
They've changed me.
He's still the
same boy you knew.
No matter what happened.
He's still got a sweet tooth.
I caught him putting
Sour Patch Kids on his cereal.
- Oh, my.
- Yeah.
And he's funny.
You know, not just his humor,
but the way he looks
at the world.
I mean, he can turn
everything and
show it to you in
a whole new way.
And he's got such a strong
sense of what's right,
and he's so quick
to learn and so
eager to connect
with other people.
Like he's connected with you.
With all of us.
Kyle: Once again
I was in a familiar place,
where my story began.
But suddenly,
like a flash, the
whole story fell
into place.
Don't do this.
Zzyzx ordered you
to exterminate him.
I can't let either
of you walk away.
You were
Baylin's mentor.
He trusted you.
Now you're working for them.
Baylin gave up any
claim on the boy
when he turned
on the company.
They want the boy dead.
I finally had a
piece of the truth.
Now it was time
to get the rest.
It's all right!
It's all right!
Settle down.
Listen to me.
It's OK.
I'm sorry about
the chloroform.
I tried to get
the jump on you
before and it wasn't
pretty, so...
I remember what happened...
with Kern.
The two of you
were talking about
Adam Baylin, something
called Zzyzx.
Is that connected
with the location
I discovered in
Baylin's papers?
The logo?
This is why I warned you
to stop asking questions.
You didn't bring me out here
to lecture me.
- No.
- Then why?
Because I thought
it would help you remember.
Did you hear something?
What?
Get down! Get down! Go! Go!
Are you all right?
Come on! Give me your arm!
Go! Get in! Get in!
You don't know how to drive.
Hold on.
Go!
Declan: Hey.
What are you
doing here?
Driving through
the neighborhood
and felt the strains
of downer lesbian
music emanating
from your house.
Thought you might
need a boost.
Let me guess, you
think I should
heal my pain
through sex?
I was going for a
heavy-duty mack
session, but if
you insist...
It freaks me out, I
spent so much time
not caring if Kyle
was here or not...
and now that he might leave...
- He's not going anywhere.
- You sound like Josh.
- He's got a life here.
A trippy, no-memory,
messed-up life,
but it's still a life.
He's not gonna throw that away
for two people he has no
memory of ever knowing.
How can you be so sure?
Because the other ending
to that story's...
It's not something
I'm willing to accept.
You should've let me
take you to the hospital.
I'll take care of it.
Get out of here. Go.
I'm not getting
out of this car
until you've told
me everything.
You know most of it already.
We were in the woods.
And we were surprised by Kern.
And I killed him
because he was gonna kill you.
By the time I was
done getting
rid of the body,
you'd woken up
and you wandered
into the city and
got put in juvenile
detention.
Once Nicole Trager
took you in,
I just figured it
was smarter to...
keep an eye on.
Tell me more.
Tell me why people
want me dead,
why that test said David and
Julia Peterson were my parents
when I don't remember
anything about them.
Why don't I remember
anything before
that night in the
woods with Kern?
OK, I'll tell you.
David: Should we be worried
he's not back?
I think he got overwhelmed.
We'll talk to him.
We can try again tomorrow.
- That would be great.
- OK.
OK, thanks a lot
for your time.
You're welcome.
- Kyle.
- Noah.
Where you been? Doing OK?
Kyle: My mind was
racing with the
information I'd just
learned from Foss.
Foss, my patron saint of lost
pasts and confusing futures.
Everyone was there
in front of me.
The family who
took me in and the
family who wanted
to take me home.
And right then, I knew
exactly what I had to do.
I remember.
Mom.
Dad.
I remember you.
I remember the
vacation we had
when I was nine
to Hawaii.
I'd never seen a
palm tree before.
And you took me to
the science museum
where they had the
Whispering Corridors.
And we went sailing
near the waterfall,
on the boat with
the rainbow sail.
And every night
at the hotel, I'd
order the same
thing for dessert.
Banana split, hold the banana.
Can you tell us what
happened to you?
Where you've been
all this time?
Still a blank.
Well, once you get
home, I'm sure
you can find a
new therapist
who can help him recover
even more of his memory.
Why can't you still
be his therapist?
Yeah, you know him
better than anyone.
No offense.
The Petersons live
in Connecticut.
So how soon before you leave?
Well, we don't want
to rush anything.
I'll be ready to
go by tomorrow.
Now that I know, I'm ready.
I can't believe
he's leaving
before I got to
make out with him.
Kidding.
We should be happy for him.
Keep telling yourself that,
Sister Sunshine.
I thought this was supposed
to be a goodbye party.
I just don't get it.
You went from savant
amnesia victim to
banana split guy in,
like, two hours?
It all just came
rushing back.
Dude, I put
myself out for you.
I kept your secrets, almost
screwed things up with Lori.
I did everything to
help you get to the
bottom of the mystery
and now it's done?
Yes.
There's something
else going on here.
Something you're not
telling me about.
You've proven you
can keep my secrets.
If there was anything,
don't you think
I'd find a way to
bring you in on it?
This sucks.
Oh,
Did you two
break up or something?
All right. Look, man. I know
you think I'm a bad guy.
It's just, I know where Amanda
stands on the sex thing.
Look, I respect
her for it, I do.
You know, I would
give anything for
the self-control
to wait for her.
I mean, this whole thing with
Hilary, it's just physical.
It has nothing to do
with how much I love Amanda.
Great.
It's OK, I understand.
You have needs.
I have needs too.
Right now, I need to do this.
Don't judge me. I've seen
the way you look at Amanda.
You're dying to tell her.
I'm leaving in a few hours.
The only thing I want is to
know that after I'm gone,
she'll be surrounded
by trustworthy,
honest and kind people.
Because that's exactly
the kind of person she is.
- Bye, guys.
- Where are you off to?
Out.
I'm sure whatever
it is, it can wait.
Kyle will be
leaving soon.
Shouldn't you call
him Noah Peterson?
- That's his real name.
- Hey! Now that's not cool.
You get back here, Josh!
Stephen, he's
protecting himself
from some strong
emotions now.
He shouldn't be running off.
Well, just let him deal
with it in his own way.
Stephen?
What, Nicole?
Can't I be just a
little bit upset?
Yeah, Kyle's going off to his
home. That's where he belongs.
Doesn't make it any easier.
Through this whole thing,
you haven't faltered.
Not once.
Well, in my line of work,
this is what you hope for.
Most foster care stories
don't have happy endings.
For Kyle to be placed
with his real parents
and his memories
coming back...
I couldn't be happier.
Well.
That's why you're
my higher power.
You OK?
I'm totally not crying.
Water-proof mascara rules.
What happened?
You know the story.
Homewrecker-in-training
tragically rejected
by the heir to the
cheater's throne.
You can say you told me so.
What kind of homewrecker's
friend would that make me?
Put it behind you.
One day, you are gonna meet
a smart, faithful guy...
- Doctor. who will whisk
you off your feet.
In his convertible.
And you'll live
happily ever after.
Until the magnificent
divorce settlement.
Exactly.
Have you seen Charlie?
He just disappeared.
He's inside. Cleaning up.
I can't believe
you're leaving.
I'll see you again, though.
It's not like forever, right?
I don't want it to be.
OK.
Then no goodbyes.
No goodbyes.
Just, like... see you.
See you.
Come on.
Need any help?
I'm not taking much.
I bet Stephen will be glad
to have his workshop back.
I don't know.
He may want to
leave it this way
in case you want
to come visit.
That would be nice.
You're not taking these?
Something to remember us by?
I'll draw new ones.
Kyle, if Josh doesn't
make it home
to say goodbye,
it's not because...
I understand.
Thanks.
- Declan: Hey.
- Hey.
Come for a real goodbye?
Yeah, you know,
I don't want him to leave
with me all mad at him.
Totally un-doglike.
Don't make a
thing out of it.
Out of what?
The fact that you turned me
into a good guy.
I have?
What, Trager, you
think all this
sensitive crap
comes naturally?
Get real.
I feel like we're
having a moment.
I guess that's what happens
when you're in a relationship.
Yeah.
- Horrible, right?
- Awful.
- Hey.
- Hey.
We're all set here.
So you're finally
out of here?
Yep.
After all that,
you're just a
regular kid with
normal parents.
Apparently.
I liked you better
as an alien.
Don't worry. I still got a few
alien tricks up my sleeve.
Later.
Later.
- Thanks for everything.
- Take care, kid.
We'll call you every day.
Ready?
Ready.
Declan.
I left a few things for you.
They're in my room.
Thanks, man.
Kyle: I remember
the vacation we
had in Hawaii
when I was nine.
I had never seen a
palm tree before.
And you took me to
the science museum
where they had the
Whispering Corridors.
And we went sailing,
by the waterfall on the
boat with the rainbow sail.
You've proven you can
keep my secrets.
If there was anything,
don't you think
I'd find a way to
bring you in on it?
What you got there?
You two are very good liars.
It's our job.
Banana split,
hold the banana.
Had to seem authentic.
And the DNA test.
We were provided the
appropriate genetic material.
From who?
Oh, you'll meet him soon.
It's done.
Zzyzx will come after
you, you know.
Rebecca Thatcher
will make it her mission.
Yeah.
- What are you gonna do?
- I'll be ready.
What did you tell him?
Go with the Petersons to keep
the Tragers out of danger,
and I'd send him
to somebody
that could tell
him everything.
Good. I'll be waiting.
Kyle: Tell me more. Tell me
why people want me dead,
why that test said David and
Julia Peterson were my parents
when I don't remember
anything about them.
Why don't I remember
anything before
that night in the
woods with Kern?
OK, I'll tell you.
You don't
remember anything
before that night
because there's
nothing to remember.
What do you mean?
Before that night,
for all intents and
purposes, you...
You didn't exist.
Thatcher: I assume
the news isn't good.
According to
records, the boy's
been returned to
his birth parents.
That's amusing, considering
he doesn't have any.
I tried to find
out who they are,
but the paper trail led
to a series of dead ends.
As though he disappeared
without a trace.
Not entirely.
I have an idea who's
behind all of this.
Where are we?
All we were told was
to bring you here.
It's good to see
you again, Kyle.
I'm Adam Baylin.
What do you want from me?
What would you like to know?
Everything.
Then you should come with me.
Do you think they'll actually
tell him where he came from?
That he was nothing
more than a
scientific experiment?
A failed one?
Well, Baylin might disagree
with your assessment.
With being a failure?
After all, the boy
did what neither of
you intended him to
do when you started.
He survived in the
outside world.
I'll take care of 781227
and Adam Baylin.
In the meantime,
I've run the diagnostics.
781228 is in
excellent condition.
