Kyle XY (2006–2009): Season 1, Episode 9 - Overheard - full transcript

Previously on Kyle XY:

Seven, eight, one,
two, two, seven.

What does it mean?

Breen: Kyle may be
connected to a murder.

Police have identified
the remains as William Kern,

a professor at the
University of Washington.

Kyle: If I knew Kern
and that's where he taught,

someone there might
know who I am.

What is it?

This grad student looks
exactly like Kyle,

except he's missing
since the '80s.



Anna: I found out his name.
The guy

in the photo.
It's Adam Baylin.

Lori: The guy drew the symbol
Kyle kept drawing,

with this code next to it.

Kyle figured out
it's latitude and longitude.

It's a spot in the
woods right by here.

Everything I did was
to protect you.

Stop asking questions.
Forget the past.

Because if you don't,
they'll kill you, Kyle.

They'll kill all of you.

Seven, eight, one, two,
two, seven. He's alive.

I'm looking at a ghost, Mr.
Reynolds.

781227 was scheduled for
termination two months ago.

How is it possible
he survived?



I'm still
looking into it.

How did he leave here? How has
he functioned all this time?

I'll get you the answers.

This is an inexcusable breach.

This company cannot
afford to have that

subject loose in
the outside world.

You must find him.

The babe count is
lame here today.

Wait until the Beachwood
Carnival this weekend.

Tons of ladies there.

Major opportunity to score.

- Hey, guys.
- Hi.

She wants me.

Dude, she was totally
throwing me the vibe.

If you say so.

Don't let Charlie pressure
you. Wait until you're sure.

How do I know I'm sure?

You don't.

So either dive in
or let the guy go.

Don't make a
blanket statement.

Each situation
is different.

Haven't you ever
found anyone special?

Not for more than
five minutes.

Actually, I have
found someone.

Oh, really? Who?

I think she's
talking about me.

"Lick the... paper... walnut."

- What are you doing?
- Reading her lips.

"This is different.

He's different.
Which is why I'm

not going to
talk about it."

"I'm your best friend.
I can't believe

you won't tell
me who it is."

Did she just say that?

I don't think she's
talking about you.

Oh, she totally is. Come on.
You just said that she said...

"The first time we kissed,

God, it gets me hot
just to think about it."

He giveth and he taketh away.

Well, it's her loss anyways.

Now you're a
master lip reader.

Is there anything
you can't do?

If we don't locate him soon,

his abilities will draw
attention, invite questions.

- We can't let that happen.
- I'll take care of it.

That may be difficult.

Apparently, he
has a protector.

Yes, we're still trying
to identify him.

Do that.
Then remove him.

And the boy?

Do what should've
been done months ago.

Watch him,
but don't get too close.

The company will
make the connection

soon, and send someone
to trail you.

I know how they work.

I'll be ready.

Has he been asking
any more questions?

I told him to keep quiet.

So far he has.

Kyle: Tom Foss had warned me
to stop digging into my past.

But how could I
surrender my search?

How could I leave
all of my questions

behind and
simply move on?

Still, I couldn't
put the family at risk.

Hey.

Kyle, I haven't
wanted to push you,

but with everything that
happened at the university,

it's time we talked.

I don't need a
therapy session.

You saw a 20-year-old
photograph

of a man who looks
just like you.

A man who drew the same symbol
you've been drawing.

That's all in the past.

I want to focus on
the present now.

We need to figure
out your past in

order for your present
to make sense.

Why? What's done is done.

It's time to move on.

Declan: How's it going?

- It's going good.
- Yeah?

- Forget about what happened.
- Forget it? Right.

You don't know Tom
Foss, but he tells you

to stop investigating
your own life,

and you're gonna
listen to him?

If I don't,

and he finds out
I'm still asking

questions, the Tragers
could get hurt.

He doesn't have
to know about it.

- Am I interrupting something?
- No, not at all.

- I don't like that guy.
- Who?

- Dexter.
- Declan.

Whatever.

I don't want
Lori seeing him.

Well, good
luck with that.

He's trouble.

I think he's got
some potential.

A hit-and-run driver
that deflowered our daughter.

He's lucky I let
him in the house.

Holding up the door?

I can't hear what
they're saying.

Why don't you just ask them
what they're talking about?

Because they're
talking about me.

My midterm grades
were mailed out.

I need advance
warning if I tanked,

so I can start
spin control.

Hey, you don't have X-ray
vision, by any chance,

to read their lips
through the door?

How about X-ray hearing?

I won't stand
for it anymore.

Crap. Who said that?

Your dad.

Wait, you can really hear what
he says through the door?

- But I'm not going to listen.
- Hang on.

Talk about potential, buddy.
This could be huge.

Reynolds: Tom Foss.
He was assigned to 781227.

What do you
know of him?

He was with us
for ten years.

As a matter of fact,
he had a hand in training me.

He's quiet, intense. Never had
a problem with his assignment,

not until the subject
was scheduled for termination.

Yes, I see he resigned
shortly after.

William Kern went missing
around that time.

Oh, and Dennis Bunker, who
processed Foss's resignation?

He disappeared too.

Foss has been
covering his tracks.

Oh, I'm sure he's
expecting our visit.

He won't go anywhere
near the boy now.

- Does he have family?
- No.

His wife and
daughter died in a

car accident a
few years back.

Follow him for now.

See what you find.

If you could hear through the
door, if you concentrate,

maybe you could hear
what people say from far away.

Why would I want to do that?

God, that brain is
just wasted on you.

Humor me.

OK. But what do I do?

You're the genius.
Figure it out.

Focus or something.

Over there, with the dog.
What are they saying?

Kyle: I tried to ignore
my other senses,

devoting all of my
attention to hearing.

And slowly, I could filter out
the unnecessary noise.

How often does she visit?

The woman hovers.
She flits around,

making helpful
suggestions.

It's for a few more days. And
then she's back to Florida.

She'd better, or I'll strap
your mother on that plane.

It's not like your parents
are perfect, either.

At least they don't
get in the way.

It's just like I
want to tell you...

Can you hear anything?

Kyle: I saw a
flash of light.

What's wrong?

Like a strange electrical
charge in my head.

It was as if my body were
warning me not to continue.

Declan told me to look into my
past without Tom Foss knowing.

I knew I'd just found a way.
But I

couldn't let on
to anyone else.

Kyle, could you hear anything?

No. Not a sound.

Nicole: Yeah, thanks
so much, Lou. Bye.

Lou Daniels?

Yeah, I was checking
a reference

on a therapist for Kyle.

Why does he need a
second therapist?

Actually, I don't think I
should be treating him at all.

I've been working
with him for months.

He can't remember
anything beyond

flashes, which I
can't explain.

And then yesterday,
he insisted he's

ready to put the
past behind him.

Well, maybe that's
the best thing.

Stephen, he's been struggling
for so long to remember.

He can't be done,
just like that.

He's regressing and I can't
get through to him.

Give it some more time.

But he won't talk to me,
not as his therapist.

You've never given up
on a patient before.

Kyle's become more
than a patient

to me, and that's
the problem.

I'm afraid I can't
be objective,

and it's getting in the way
of his progress.

- Hey, Kyle.
- Hey.

- How's the game?
- Oh, I don't know.

I've been studying
for my confirmation.

- What are you confirming?
- My faith.

My mom really wants
me to do it,

and I was all set
to go last year,

but after my dad died...

Well, I wasn't really into
the whole religion thing.

But I'm doing it now.

I'd really love you
to come to the ceremony.

Sure your mom will
be OK with that?

She doesn't get to decide
everything for me.

Besides, you're my friend.
I want you to be there.

Charlie: Hey, babe.

Oh, gross!
You're all sweaty.

Oh, you know
you love it.

Whatever.

Well, I got to run. Our
church's bishop is coming by.

Declan: Sounds like a blast.

Bye, guys.

Charlie: I'm
out of here too.

Forget about her, man. Plenty
more where that came from.

It's not Amanda.

I need your help.

- Bye, Dad.
- Where you off to?

Just going to hang with Declan
before the carnival.

Declan.

You say his name with
such enthusiasm.

- What do you see in that guy?
- Dad.

You could find
somebody honorable

who hasn't committed
a felony.

Declan owned up
to that accident.

He's doing community
service now.

Well, I feel so much better.

I was his age once. I know
how boys like him think.

Oh, really? How's that?

I don't like to
think about it.

No, I'm serious, Lori.
I don't trust him.

Well, then I guess
you'll just have to trust me.

So now you got
super-hearing?

No. My ears work
just like yours.

But when I
concentrate, my brain

can pick up
specific sounds.

I can hear voices
from a distance.

You wanna find Tom
Foss and listen in.

Help me track him down.

- Just say when.
- Now.

Declan, tell me you
didn't forget.

I didn't. But can we hook up
at the carnival instead?

- Why?
- Something came up.

Not too vague.

I'm sorry.
I got pulled into something.

Be straight with me. I don't
want to start this again.

There's nothing to start. I
have to meet later, all right?

Fine.

What's up?

Declan just totally bailed on
me and he's acting all shady.

- Tell me I'm being paranoid.
- Yeah, you're being paranoid.

What, no conspiracy theory
to bolster my neurosis?

Lori, I got to go.

Are you with
your mystery man?

About to be.
I'll try to swing by later.

Look, I can't give
out Tom's address.

We need to find him, Kim.
It's important.

Leave your name and number,
I'll have him call you.

- But we have to see him now.
- Hey.

- There she is.
- Hello?

Look, that information
is private and confidential.

- What are they talking about?
- First of all, I wouldn't...

- Happy Hour.
- I knew it.

- How'd you know that?
- I read their lips.

She put on quite a show.

Look, I had three margaritas.

So, what's the
cute one saying?

- Which one's the cute one?
- Hold on.

You want to know more?

That information
is private and confidential.

Look, I'd really like to
help you, but I can't.

The truth is, Tom's
the security

guard in our
neighborhood,

and he got us out
of a huge mess.

We want to see him right away
to pay him back.

Fine.

- Foss doesn't live far.
- Then let's go.

Look at you, ready
for a stakeout.

I don't wanna
waste more time.

I found Foss.

- Is the boy with him?
- No.

I taught you
better than that.

Is that any way
to say hello?

- What do you want?
- I'm sure you know.

You betray the company, all we
worked for, to end up as what?

Some neighborhood watchman?

You kill me they'll
send somebody else.

They'll keep searching
until they find the subject.

- He's not a subject.
- See?

You let your heart
get in the way.

You know, this
humanity of yours has

really made a mess of
things, hasn't it?

You had to kill
Kern and Bunker.

I mean, look what protecting
this boy has cost you.

Just tell me where he is
and be done with it.

He's gone.

He's gone so far away
they'll never find him.

Oh, we will.

And we're watching you, Tom.
If

that boy comes
anywhere near you,

we're gonna get him.

You stay away from him.

You understand?

She sent someone.
Cyrus Reynolds.

He's the Head
of Security.

What did you tell him?

I said they'd never find him.
But they're on the trail...

This is it, 509.

What do you hear?
Is he in there?

Tom: We have to
take him out fast.

That plan is
already in motion.

OK. I'll keep
track of the boy.

No. They're watching you.
Don't interfere.

Nicole: I need to ask
you something and

I want you to be
straight with me.

Lori: I'm not in the mood
for one of those talks now.

Nicole: Look, it's not about
you, it's about Kyle.

He's been acting
strange lately.

Nicole.

What about her?

And Lori. I can
hear them inside.

What are you
talking about?

Lori: Acting strange?

- This is news to you why?
- Nicole: I'm serious.

Ever since you took him to the
university, he's been distant.

Did anything happen there
that I should know about?

You mean aside
from him seeing

that picture of
his look-alike?

Of course Kyle's freaked out.

I just wish he would
talk to me about it.

You can't be on
him all the time.

Nicole: Well, I'm
his therapist.

Give him some space,
like you do me and Josh.

Kyle: More flashes of light.

The harder I tried to listen,
the more intense.

Lori: You try to let
us figure things

out and then you
tell us what to do.

Kyle, are you all right?

Yeah.

But I heard them.

Lori and Nicole,
I heard their voices.

That's impossible.

He's coming.

We have to go in.

You want to break
into his apartment?

No. But I have to know
why I heard them inside.

That is bizarre.

How do we do it?

Come on.

Looking for loose change?

No. I was just...

Skip the story and just
tell me what's going on.

OK, fine.

- How bad are they?
- What?

My grades.

I know they came in today,

and you and Mom are just
making me sweat to torture me.

No, well, as appealing
as that sounds,

the mail hasn't
even come yet.

Great.

I see you've been
applying yourself.

What do you have
to worry about?

Josh?

Look, I've tried. I've done
all the work, I really have.

And if I bomb out in
remedial... which means...

It just means you're gonna
have to work a little harder.

But don't get ahead
of yourself.

You've got good
news coming.

You have to say that.

No, I don't. I
just believe in you.

I think you should too.

So...

can this vote of
confidence translate

into an extra 20
for the carnival?

Always working it.

Saw my chance. I
had to take it.

At least we know
they aren't tied up.

I know what I heard.

Got your wires crossed, buddy.

Don't touch anything.

Nothing to touch.

This guy lives like a monk.

Except for that.

That's pretty high-tech.

What the?

This guy's a frigging stalker.

You give me every single
detail of your sex life.

More than I need to know.

Now you've got
this mystery man

and you don't
kiss and tell?

Why is it so important to you?

Because I know what
you're hiding.

I know it's Declan.

How could she think that?

Hillary: Oh, my God.
You're insane.

I'm not stupid.

Right now, you are.
It's not Declan, OK? I swear.

You know, not
everything has to

do with you and
your boyfriend.

I gotta go.

This is sick. We gotta rip
these damn cameras out.

The subject's in sight.

But he's not alone.

Find your moment...
then do it.

Josh?

Josh!

- We need to see you.
- What did I do?

Got the mail.

I did it.

- You did it.
- I'm out of remedial!

What's going on?

Check it out. I'm a genius!

With a B-plus,
two B's and a C?

Josh, congratulations.

And Kyle didn't
help me at all.

Where is Kyle?

He just called.
He's going straight

to the carnival
with Declan.

Declan?

Get away from me,
you little creep!

Yeah! I'm a genius!
I'm a genius!

You're a genius.

Oh, right. Yeah!

go around and stuff.
- Oh!

Lori: Meet me out
front in two hours

and don't come near
me until then.

It's not me you should
be worried about.

- It's the carnies.
- Who?

Circus folk. Chicks with
beards, fortune tellers.

They totally abduct
teenage girls.

Like I'm scared.
I live with a freak show.

Later.

Oh, yeah.

- I know he's so...
- Hello, ladies.

Kyle: I want to go on a ride.
Why can't we?

Hey, Kyle, see you
later, all right?

Hey, Kyle.
Checking out a ride?

Go on The Rotor, dude.
It's crazy.

- I won't go near it.
- Which one do you like?

Charlie will make fun,
but... the carousel.

Oh, no, no, no. The carousel's
great... if you're seven.

Well, you don't have to
go on it with me.

What do you think, Kyle?
You up for a spin?

Sounds good.

Oh, go ahead. Try to
contain your excitement.

Look, I'm sorry I had to bail.

Why didn't you just say
you were with Kyle?

I don't know. It's personal.

What are you
two up to?

I had to help him
with something.

Why are you suspicious
all the time?

Why do you give
me reason to be?

Hey, if you want this to work,
you gotta trust me.

- Where should we sit?
- How about these two?

- Sorry.
- I'll stand.

Are you sure?

Here we go.

It gets faster.
Just warning you.

How fast?

Fast enough for a
seven-year-old.

- For a seven-year-old?
- Yeah.

See?

Declan: You
have to tell her.

Charlie: Are you nuts?

Declan: Lori thought
I was with her.

Charlie: It's not my fault
Lori doesn't trust you.

Oh, like Amanda trusts you?

I've got a great
thing going with

her and I'm not
going to ruin it.

Great for you.
Go out with

Amanda, tap Hilary
on the side.

Kyle? Are you all right?

I'm fine.

Kyle, relax. This is fun.

You taught me well after all.

Going to shoot me
in front of all these people?

You know how it works, Tom.

A shot or two out of nowhere.

Mass hysteria always provides
an escape route.

Kyle: I struggled
to hear them and

I knew if I tried
any harder,

it might bring back more of
those uncomfortable flashes.

But I had to hear what
they were saying.

You should have obeyed orders.

You should have terminated him
per instruction.

Well, it's done now.
It's too late.

The boy doesn't know anything.

Reynolds: Your mistake
could expose the company.

Everything we've ever worked
for could be destroyed.

Leave him alone.

Kyle! Oh, my God!

Help! Kyle! Please!

- Somebody help!
- Call 9-1-1.

Amanda: Kyle! Kyle! Kyle!

Kyle! Kyle! Please!

Kyle! Oh, my God! Kyle!

Somebody please!
He needs help!

Kyle!

Kyle's a lucky young man.

Vitals are stable
and he's resting comfortably.

- Why did this happen?
- It's hard to say.

Seizures are generated
by electricity in the brain.

Any number of things
could've triggered this.

Has Kyle bumped his
head recently?

- Experienced headaches?
- Not that we're aware of.

I know he was riding on
a carousel at the time.

It's possible the motion of
the ride, lights, noise,

might have disoriented him
and set it off.

Could this happen again?

I can't be certain,
and given Kyle's amnesia,

we don't know if he has
a history of seizures.

Fortunately, MRI
results are normal.

Normal?

Mrs. Trager,
that's good news.

No brain damage.
No abnormal activity.

Yes, of course that's
wonderful. Your

MRI machine is
working properly?

Absolutely. And
our radiologist

is one of the best.

So hopefully,
this is an isolated incident,

and Kyle can head
home later tonight.

- Thank you.
- Thanks.

I'm telling you. The sympathy
angle works every time.

Chicks eat it up.

- Hey, buddy. How you feeling?
- Pretty good, I guess.

Doctor says
you're gonna be just fine.

Lori, Josh, why don't you
tell everyone Kyle's OK.

Feel better, Kyle.

Do you remember
what happened just

before you started
feeling sick?

Anything that might
have caused this?

No.

So when can I go home?

They want you
to rest a little while longer.

Then we'll go.

- Big relief.
- Yeah.

- I'm surprised by that MRI.
- Yeah, I could tell.

His first MRI, months
ago, showed an

extraordinary amount
of brain activity.

They said the equipment
malfunctioned.

But since then,

we've seen what Kyle can do,
how remarkable he can be.

I guess I couldn't help
thinking, maybe it was true.

Maybe his results
really were off the charts.

Instead he's a normal teenage
boy who's incredibly smart.

You're right. Every man has
his price. Even radiologists.

Allowing that boy's
true results to

come out would beg
too many questions.

Questions that might
have unwanted

consequences for
the company.

I won't be able to
get to him tonight.

I'm not concerned.

Next time we will.

I'll be right back.

- Is he OK?
- We're still waiting to hear.

Lori said
he collapsed.

He was standing
right next to me.

He was fine one
minute, then he

just fell on the
ground shaking.

- It was so scary.
- It's all gonna be OK.

What was he doing
right before he fell?

He looked distracted.
He was staring at people

with this really intense look
on his face.

He's doing great. Really.

When can we see him?

Better wait till
he gets home.

Can you just tell him
I'm thinking about him?

Lori: Sure.

I need to see Kyle.

Declan, they
said just family.

Look, there's stuff going on
that I can't explain,

but it has nothing
to do with us.

You have to believe me.

Come on.

You gave us all a
big scare, man.

Sorry.

You were trying
to hear something.

Foss was there.
And another man with a gun.

You got to tell the Tragers
what's going on.

They could get hurt.

But you will if
you don't say

something. They're
your family.

Now's the time you
need them the most.

Thanks.

I may have judged Declan
a little too harshly.

He's a great guy
when he wants to be.

Stephen. I just traded calls
with Detective Breen.

His message
said he had news.

Like what?

He didn't get into it.

Thanks, Declan.

A lot of people were here
for you tonight.

I don't want you
to worry about me.

Can't help it.

Kyle, we haven't
talked lately,

really talked, professionally.

And I've tried
not to push you,

but I can't help
feeling that...

l've let you down.

Let me down?

It's my job to help
you break through.

To heal you.

But you have.

But you haven't been
able to remember.

I keep promising
answers and you're

left with only
more questions.

You took me in.

When I had no one.

You made me feel safe.

And cared for.

And loved.

You made me feel
like I was your son.

I think that's what's
gotten in our way.

No, it's what I needed.

I still do.

There's something I
need to tell you.

Breen: Lori Trager?

I need to see your parents.

Kyle, whatever it is,
you can tell me.

Mom?

Lori, I need a
moment with Kyle.

Nicole. This is important.

Mrs. Trager,

there's been a
new development.

I'm sorry, we can't
wait anymore.

Noah, is that really you?

Who are you?

Don't you remember?

It's me.

It's Mom.

We finally found you.
