Painkiller Jane

My name is jane vasco.

I could use you on my team.

I work for a secret government agency that hunts neuros.

People who can do dangerous things with their minds.

On my first assignment...

Something a little weird happened,

okay, something really weird.

Until i get some answers i'm getting on with my life, doing my job.

Stocking up on aspirin, because let me tell ya,

pain's a bitch!

The five car pile up...

alright, check your comms.

Maureen?

Check.

Connor?

Check.

Alright, now watch your footing,

we know he has mines and trip wires.

Maybe some home-made goodies too.

Probably.

Alright, take first positions

you don't move until i give the word.

Understood?

Copy.

All right, move out.

Maureen, into position now!

Incoming!

Bauers, are you hit?

No, but i don't think this stealth approach is working.

Connor, you in position?

Connor, connor...

Connor!

He's hit!

Bauer, why don't you lay down some fire, on three.

Alright, 1...

2...

3!

So here we are.

Yeah.

Here we are.

We spend our lives looking for answers.

Who am i?

Why am i here?

Why is david hasselhoff so big in germany?

We always think that finding the answers

are going to bring us some kind of satisfaction,

when usually it just gets us more questions.

The more things i find out about myself,

the more i wish i could develop partial amnesia.

Only with my luck, i probably rember the pain and forget my name.

Hey, i did a story on your old boss at the d. e.a.

Earl pike.

Yeah?

Seems as if he took early retirement.

You're kidding!

Lt. Pike loved the job.

Up until he got shot.

I interviewed him for the story.

Seems the shooting really threw the fear of god into him.

Yeah, but enough to quit?

The man took a bullet a half inch from his heart.

I guess it's hard to say what any of us would do

unless we've walked in his shoes.

Brian and i have been going out

just long enough for it to still be exciting and scary at the same time.

So much to learn about him and so much to keep him from discovering about me.

Come on!

Number b-4.

Bingo!

Bingo!

Oh... Hello!

Sorry to interrupt.

It started raing...

It's quite all right.

Would you like to join us?

We have reservations.

Yeah, uh-huh.

Aw, that's too bad.

I'm going to find the ladies' room, dry off a little.

And tell your paper that they need a new weatherman.

Number o-69.

Everything okay?

I have to go.

We haven't even had..

I'm so sorry.

I can't really explain, but...

Duty calls.

Yeah, something like that.

I promise i'll make it up to you.

That, i'm looking forward to.

Hey.

Hey, i'm sorry to drag you out, but i need you to see this.

Agent vasco.

I'm not even sure who you are an agent with, but i know in three days,

you and your team will try to arrest me.

It won't go well.

Your three teammates will be killed.

And then you'll shoot me.

I die in front of the orange door.

Is this some kind of joke?

Keep watching.

I know how this sounds, but you have to believe me.

These things that i see all will happen.

I can't stop it, but maybe you can.

Please don't come after me.

Keep your team away.

It's the only way to save their lives and mine.

You found this in a bathroom?

It was taped to a mirror, waiting for me.

Who knew where you'd be tonight?

Nobody.

That's the thing.

Brian and i were on our way to dinner.

When all of a sudden it started raining,

so we ran into that senior center.

Are you sure he didn't steer you that way intentionally?

In case it started raing.

At exactly the right moment

to fit into his master plan to freak me out?

I don't think so.

What do you think i should do?

Jane, we don't know who this guys is.

He's not even on our radar.

Maybe it will turn out to be a practical joke or something.

See ya tomorrow, alright?

Hey, it could be a new one.

How many incidents, riley?

Four, including this one.

What's going on?

Riley's been tracking a series of unusual phone calls.

It could be neuro.

You remember that plane crash yesterday in north carolina?

Somebody called the airline that morning,

warning them to cancel the flight.

The cops figured that the tipster

must have had some kind of involvement, right?

So they traced the call

and brought the guy in for questioning...

Same guy's phoned in three other tips.

All solid.

All reliable.

That's the guy.

Damn!

Not on our radar, huh?

What?

I have something you should see.

I got a message from this man.

Keep your team away.

It's the only way to save their lives and mine.

"the man" is ethan grant.

No criminal record, no nothing.

He told the police that he "saw" the plane crash before it happened.

There was no other evidence connecting him to it.

But there were other calls, right?

The voice print from his call to the airline

matches three others from the past six months,

warning people about bad things that were going to happen:

a gas main explosion,

a fire at an elementary school, and get this...

A tornado that touched down near amarillo, texas.

Sounds good for a chip to me.

You heard what the man said.

If he's right

and so far you say he has been then three of you will die.

If you actually believe that someone can see into the future.

Even if i don't...

Why risk it?

He hasn't committed any crime.

All he's been doing is trying to save people's lives.

So far, yes.

But if he is a neuro and if he can see into the future,

you have to wonder what else he can do.

Bet on every horse race, title fight and bowl game for the next twenty years?

I was thinking more along the lines of predicting

presidential security routes.

Or transport protocols for nuclear weapons.

Why do you assume he's trying to hurt anyone?

Because he can,

traditional law enforcement can't handle him.

That power is what makes him, and every other neuro, our problem.

Even if it costs us our lives.

Let's leave this alone, andre.

Is he still in police custody?

No.

They had to release him.

Way to go feds.

That's the address where they picked him up.

A house owned by his sister, sarah.

If you're going to do this, i'm going with you.

Why?

Because i'm the only one guaranteed to survive.

He's not here.

When do you expect him home?

Ethan doesn't live here.

He was just visiting for a few days

when he made that phone call.

After the police dragged him off, i doubt he'll be back.

Do you know where we can find him?

I don't know.

You don't know where your own brother lives?
