Touch (2012–2013): Season 1, Episode 3 - Safety in Numbers - full transcript

Jake is still in the custody of Child and Family Services. Despite Martin knowing that Jake is now communicating with him via numbers, Martin is still concerned that the review will find ...

*** living in the opical rain forests,

and one of them,the red
fire ant,lives underground,

under constant threat of
annihilation from flash floods.

Nature doesn't care.

If a species wants to survive,it
has to prove it deserves to.

When the floods come,the fire
ants hold on to each other,

creating a living raft that
can float until thwater recedes.

Months,if necessary.

So how does a species figure
something like that out?

Instinct? Trial and error?

Was there one fire ant who was being
swept away by the rushing water...



and grabbed on to another ant,

only to find that
together they could float?

What if you were the one who
knew what needed to be done...

but you had no words?

How do you make the others understand?

How do you call for help?

"Board & Care."

Hello?

Hello?

Jake?

Jake,is that you?

Damn it!

- Mr.Bohm? Is everything okay?
- He called me.

- Who?
- Jake. I need to check on him.



The kids are still asleep;
are you sure it was Jake?

Well,someone called me from this number,and
when I answered they didn't say anything-

sounds a lot like Jake to me.

Look,there's no denying there's something
amazing going on with your son...

He's communicating with me-you
saw it with your own eyes.

You're right,I did-but we have to
keep our feet on the ground here.

You can't come running in at all
hours,saying Jake sent you a message.

I know it was him.

Maybe so,but while he's being
evaluated by Social Services...

He doesn't need to be evaluated anymore.

I'm his father; he's
communicating with me.

Through numbers. Do you know how
that sounds to anyone but you or me?

I don't care.

Look,the State has a lot of power.

I've seen them step in,and I don't
want that to happen with Jake.

So we just need to be careful.

Fine. May I please see my son now?

- Of course.
- Thank you.

Try not to wake him up.

He's not here. Jake! Jake?

Jake?

Jake?

Jake...

Are you all right?

Sweetheart,did you try and call me?

3287. Is that it?

You can't keep jumping every time you think
you hear him calling; it'll drive you crazy.

He's trying to communicate
with me,can't you see that?

I need to take him back to his room.

Jake...

"3287."

What the hell does that mean?

Season 01 Episode 03

3287. What does it mean?

Well,according to Jake's caseworker,

the number isn't what's significant, it's
the fact that I keep chasing them down.

Yeah,you have no choice.

So that's it?From here on in,

- my life is just gonna be running down random numbers for Jake?
- No,they're not random.

Well,if I ignored the numbers?
Can I ignore the numbers?

You can do whatever you want.

But it seems pretty clear that bad things will
happen,not to mention what it does to Jake.

Jake's pain.

Those numbers point to a
disorder in the universe.

Jake feels the pain of people
attached to those numbers.

And until things get right,he suffers.

So I can ignore the numbers,but
my son will be in pain.

That's not a choice.

Child Services is doing
an assessment on Jake.

They're doing one on me,too.

If I keep chasing down these numbers,
they're gonna take him away from me.

- Maybe I should go check it out.
- No,no,please. Thank you.

They think I'm crazy enough.

I... I'd be... I'm sorry,I just mean
that I think I should fly under the radar.

You need to keep your eyes open.

Your son has a higher purpose,

and believe me,you won't be
the only one who notices it.

"3287."

***********

- How did it go,Grace?
- I hope to get a job,Baruti.

I think you will.

I only wish I could say the
same for your friend,Sauda.

Grace.

With or without Sauda,you must go
to the city and start your life.

Think you got what it takes?
Get online and get in the queue.

And remember,it's not just about the moves
- the audience chooses the winner.

Hey,red dress.

- Oh,umwhy'd you call me that?
- You're wearing a red dress.

It's weird,huh? I'm
the only one in a dress.

- Ticket?
- Um,I should've worn shorts.

- Have a great time.
- Can I ask you a question?

- Is it about the dress?
- No.

Um,I'm supposed to meet someone outside of a
tent where they're holding a dance competition.

It's down e hill,to the
right,very last tent.

Thank you.

You look great. Hope it works out.

So do I.

Watch out!

Call 911. Call 911!

You've been hit by a car.

Come here. Give me that.

- You can see me.
- Of course I can see you.

But I'm invisible. How can...

Are you invisible,too?

I saw you take this from the
woman who was hit by that car.

No,no,she took it from me.
Look,look,look,look. Look,see.

Look,it's mine,it's mine.

This book is just like my
son's book. Who are you?

I'm the Invisible Prince.

That's my ledger,and
I'm late for my rounds.

- What?
- My rounds,my rounds.

It's my job to keep them safe.

They're all connected
through me in there.

We have to go right now; I can feel it.

I only have 14 minutes. The
thread is tight; there's no time.

You can come with me,but
we have to leave right now.

This number,3287,what does it mean?

It means the Dragon is loose.

We have to stop it.

The Dragon.

Wait!

Wait. Wait,please. Please!

My son,he has a book just
like yours,full of numbers.

He-he sees patterns in
the numbers,messages.

Is that what you see?

Yes.

When did it start? When you
were a child? My-my son is ten.

Uh,thread... the thread is
pulled very tight. I can feel it.

- Wh-What? - I have
to go. I have to go!

Jake,I need you to point to the
animal that makes this sound: Moo.

Jake,I need your attention.
Can you look at me,please?

You really like that car,huh?

Can I see it?

See the car,Jake?

I'm right behind the car.
Can you look at me,please?

Can you look at my eyes,Jake?

Can you look at my eyes?

What happened?

It's my job to get them where they
need to be. If I'm not there...

I'm late.

What was too close?

- 2873287
- What did I miss?

3287 3287 3287

The number that you keep... Look at me.

The number that you
keep saying,3287,look.

My son gave me this. 3287

I think he sees what you see,

and I think he wants
me to help you somehow.

He wants you to stop the pain.

What?

Wait.

**********

Who lives here?

Wait,please,please.
Tell me about the Dragon.

I tried to kill it,but I failed.

What? How?

I had a magic sword.

The only sword powerful
enough to slay the Dragon.

I offered it to the King,but
he thought it was a trick.

He buried it deep within the Mountain
of Clare,behind a wall of stones.

Well,can't you get it back?

You don't know much about magic
swords,do you? I can't en touch it.

What are we doing here?

- The final battle is tonight.
- The final battle?

Look,you're gonna have to give me more
information if you want me to help you.

So far all we've done today is pick flowers
and watch people go about their business.

Wait a second. That woman's from...

You pressed the walk button
so she could cross the street.

Now she's here,too. Now
they're together. Why?

What's gonna happen?

The Dragon.

Excuse me,are your chairs empty?

I'm sorry?

Are you waiting for
someone or are you alone?

No,no,no,no,no,no,no,no!

I'm sorry,it's not
your fault; please sit.

I'm,um,I'm just t gonna
be the best company.

Why are you sad?

He stood me up. I've been stood
up. I'm sitting here,stood up.

I'm such an idiot.

he ************

I've never done anything
like this before.

I've never traveled hundreds of
miles for someone that I met online,

but he seemed so perfect, and he was
really ready to take a chance,you know?

I should have known.

Girl power! Strawberry martinis!

The main stage show featuring the
Morticians starts in 15 minutes.

If you're here for the Morticians,
make your way to the main stage.

- Morticians!
- Morticians!

I think I'm gonna stay here for
a little bit longer. Thank you.

girl *******

Hey,is this your phone?

Ladies and gentlemen,the song stylings
of the next global phenom,Kayla Graham.

Play it forward,pass it along.
Start your fan clubs here.

You okay?

- I'm voting to settle.
- No.

I've lost my house,my
savings. I'm working two jobs.

If they'll give me 20 cents
on the dollar,I'll take it.

We have to hang together. If
one of us falls,we all lose.

We can't prove anything.

Without proof,we're just people
that made a bad investment.

Besides,no one's heard from Roger
King's representatives in months.

They could be cutting a
deal behindur back right now.

We can't worry about Roger
King. We have until 6:00 tonight.

Let's see what they
have to offer us. Please.

- Are you one of the plaintiffs?
- no,but...

Are you representing
one of the plaintiffs?

Yes. Uh,Roger King. Thank you.

I thought no press was allowed.

This is Martin Bohm. He's a reporter.

Excuse me.

Rush. Rush Middleton.

You remembered? All this time,I thought you only
knew me as Get Me Some Coffee or You're Fired.

Look,this is my story.

I've been following it for three years, and I'm
not going to let you scoop me at the finish line.

I've got exclusivity with
all but one of the plaintiffs.

As soon as they vote to
settle,I run my story.

So,I'm guessing you didn't
get Roger King to talk?

Right. Well,I can't be
expected to do the impossible.

Just because you couldn't do
it,doesn't make it impossible.

You think you can get
Roger King to talk?

It's worth a shot.

I'd love to see you try. You
need his address? Phone number?

I'll make you a deal. Get Roger King to talk,and
I'll share my byline with you at The Herald.

You'd like that,ight?

Another shot at the big leagues?

Only this time,of course,you
may be getting coffee for me.

I'll let you know what he says.

"3287."

Roger King. The ng?

Sheri,what can you tell me
about the patient on B wing?

- What patient?
- In room six. Midway down the hall.

Jake keeps going AWOL and ending up
there. I'm wondering who's inside.

No one. The room's empty.

Then why...?

Mom?

Yes. I'm Clea Hopkins.

Oh,my God. Oh,okay.
I'll-I'll be right there.

- Yes?
- My name is Martin Bohm.

I need to speak to Roger King,please.

Roger King is dead.

This is his son Charlie.
What is this regarding?

The class-action suit
against Morton-Starling.

I don't want anything to do with that.

Mr.King... look...

I'm terribly sorry about anything that
you might have gone through,but I need...

Truth is,I
- I don't even know what I need, but I know was meant to come here...

I'm sorry,I can't help you.

******

The Claremont.

The Mountain of Clare.

Stone walls.

Look,if I have to call
the police,I will...

Do you know anything
about The Invisible Prince?

The Invisible Prince was a character

in a bedtime story that my father
used to tell my brother Walt and me.

The Invisible Prince
did good deeds in secret.

Otherwise,they wouldn't count.

Tell me about your brother.

He w a genius with numbers.

He was just a shy little kid,

but he grew up to be an
accountant with Morton-Starling,

and eventually developed a financial
product that made that company billions.

I
- I didn't understand it. I'm not a numbers guy.

Do you have any records from this
time? Press clippings,anything?

I threw all that stuff out.
You can get it all it online.

Just search,"Morton-Starling," "fraud."

Can we do that here? Now?

I need the computer,Matt.

Dad,no. I'm about to
play a guy in California.

It's a game,Matt. Let's log out now.

Looks like the Dominator
bailed. 4SOWETO moves up a spot.

hurry.

we're ********

you ******

i am *******

you're ***********

you're here.

The Beastmaster is unstoppable!

Only 4SOWETO left to go,

and the Beastmaster will once
again be the undisputed champion.

4SOWETO,you are up in two minutes.

you *******

{\a6}***********

Walt saw investors making money,so he
convinced my father to invest his savings.

He convinced other
family members,neighbors.

What happened?

The firm exploited a loophole in the contract
which allowed them to bilk investors for millions.

My father lost everything, except for
this apartment,which I was able to buy.

He went into a deep
depression,stop talking,

and one day,his heart stopped.

That's when my brother disappeared.

I thought he might be
dead until you showed up.

Your brother's very much alive,

and I think he's trying to make
up for everything that happened.

Look,if we're gonna help him, we need to do it by
6:00 before the plaintiffs are forced to settle.

It's only an hour from now.

Your brother Walter said that he gave
the King a sword to slay the Dragon.

Do you have any idea
what that could mean?

It's from the bedtime story.
It's the magic sword of truth.

The truth. Sword of truth.

Did Walter give anything to
his father before he died?

My father refused to speak
to my brother before he died.

And all he left behind
was a couple of boxes.

Can I see those,please?

Well,the woman we admitted
has been living under a bridge.

Does your mother have a
history of mental illness?

She's schizophrenic.

- Is she on medication?
- I really don't know.

Uh,I got a call on my cell phone a couple days ago,
but before that,I hadn't heard from her in six years.

How badly is she hurt?

She sustained a head injury
when she got hit by the car.

- There is swelling on the brain...
- Was it near Queensboro Plaza?

Where she was hit
- was it near the train tracks at Queensboro Plaza?

Yes. How did you know that?

She used to take me there
to wait for the train.

When it passed,she would scream at the top
of her lungs into the sound of the train.

Scared the hell out of me.

- I'm sorry.
- Not at all. This is ur mother we're talking about.

Are you ready?

That's not my mother.

What? But her cell phone...

Look,your number was
the last one dialed.

Maybe it was stolen.

I'm so sorry.

Ah,excuse me,sir. My
name is Dr.Arthur Tell.er

I'd like to speak to the
director of the facility.

Sure,Doctor. One second.

Arthur?

Sheri Strepling? You're
the director here?

For three years.

- How can I Ip you,Arthur?
- Well,I was hoping for a tour.

Yeah,I'm consulting on a case,

and I thought this might be
a-a good place for my patient.

You mind showing me around?

Sure. I'll give you a quick tour.

I didn't kw my father had one of those.

It's locked.

I have no idea what the combination is.

I think I might.

- It's never been opened.
- Open it.

What is it?

The Magic Sword of Truth.

I got 17 minutes to go 22 blocks.

This is the rec room where
we see most of our patients.

AnI'm afraid this is
where the tour must end.

Why are you here,Arthur?

I told you,I have a patient.

I don't know why you would want another
patient after everything that happened.

I stand by my research,Sheri...

I'm sorry. Excuse me. Jake?

********

Jake,Jake,can you hear me?

get *********

stop ************

Jake,are you in pain?

And here they come,all the
way from South Africa,4Soweto!

They're loving 4Soweto!

The Beastmaster's gonna get beat!

Whatever you wrote,delete it.

You're starting over.

You shouldn't be in here,Martin.
Security'll throw you out.

Rush,shut up,please. Just read.

That's the smoking gun. Morton-Starling
intentionally cheated their investors.

Walter King wrote those memos.

He created the financial scheme that allowed
Morton-Starling to cheat their investors.

"anomaly in tax code leaves
open the possibility of fraud"?

He's trying to show them the flaws in his
design. He's telling them not to use it.

But instead the company exploited
a loophole and made millions.

- Why would you give this to me?
- Same reason I chose you to get my coffee.

I always thought you were
gonna be a great reporter.

I'll see what I can do about the byline.

No,no,this is yours
- it'll be our little secret, otherwise it doesn't count.

This is Rush Middleton. I need to speak to the attorney
representing the plaintiffs against Morton-Starling.

What's,uh... what's so funny?

a girl doing cartwheels
in front of her dog.

It's the look on the dog's face.

Come check it out.

Yeah,that's... that's pretty funny.

You're not laughing.

Well,nothing's gonna
make me laugh today.

That's how I felt until I started
looking through this thing.

There are videos on here
from all around the world.

Wait,this is not your phone?

No. But I think that's the point.

You're supposed to upload a video,like a
message to the world,and then pass it on.

You can say something.

Oh,no. I just... I just had
the worst day of my life.

For what it's worth,I
thought you were amazing.

I lost to a
ten-year-old.

He was really cute.

Did the Dragon win?

The Dragon is dead. It's already online.

The plaintiffs refused to settle.

They're gonna take these guys to court
to make sure they can't cheat anyone else.

We did it. We found the sword,slew
the Dragon and saved the people.

- Kneel,please.
- Kneel?

Please?

In honor of your service and
the completion of your quest,

you will now be known
as the Invisible Knight.

Thank you. That means a lot to me.

And to your son... the pain is gone.

You know,now that things have been put
right, you don't have to be invisible anymore.

I have to go. I don't want
to be late for my rounds.

Wait,please. In case
you change your mind,

there's a family behind the stone
walls at the Mountain of Clare.

They would love to see you again.

And they wanted me to tell you
that you are welcome anytime.

Human beings are not the
strongest species on the planet.

We're not the fastest,or
maybe even the smartest.

The one advantage we have is
our ability to cooperate...

to help each other out.

Today,Main Street
reigned over Wall Street

after victory came to the plaintiffs
in the Morton-Starling fraud suit.

The financial giant
was unable to settle...

We recognize ourlves in each other,

and are programmed for
compassion, for heroism,for love.

And those things make us
stronger,faster. and smarter.

It's why we've survived.

It's why we even want to.

Come in.

Sorry to interrupt,but I thought
Jake might want this back.

Found it in the middle of the hallway.

You give it to him.

What I said this morning about not
jumping every time Jake calls...

I know... those patterns
aren't so easy to break.

You love him and you
want him to be okay.

Yeah.

I'm learning,too.

I'll try to be a little more
understanding going forward.

Thank you.

Once upon a time,there
was an Invisible Knight

who served the Silent King,

and together they helped people that
didn't even know they were there.
