Tonight, on The Sentinel.

When she was 12 years old, Stacy was in a car wreck with her parents, and they

were killed. She spent the last eight years in a coma. Can you think of any

reason why someone would have wanted to kill them? Picture an energy source so

powerful that it could make nuclear arms obsolete.

Are you okay?

So for the last eight years, told them I'm waiting for Stacy to wake up, hoping

that she'll lead them to the research.

Tell me what your parents told you. I can't remember anything.

You want to go to prison, Stacy? You want her to die?

I'll do it! I didn't know where else to go. Well, you came to the right place.

He killed my parents.

I don't know who you people are or what you're up to, but I'm going to find out.

In the jungles of Peru, the fight for survival heightened his senses.

Now, Detective James Ellison is a sentinel in the fight for justice.

Seeing before others see.

Sensing what others can't.

An ever -vigilant watchman in the war against crime.

Stacy? Stacy?

Honey, wake up.

Huh? What? Stacy, you have to get dressed.

But why? I don't have time to explain. Just hurry.

Honey, what's going on? We have to go on a trip.

Tonight. Where are we going?

We don't know yet.

We better stay off the main highway. We'll take the back road.

Don't want to forget Bowser.

He's going to kill us.

Oh, my God.

Hang

on.

Oh, God.

Miss Stacy knew when she pulled out her monitors again. Cindy, let me call you

back.

She wasn't in intensive care or physical therapy. Now, I want you to go down,

check the basement, see if she's hiding down there.

Dr. Charlo.

Can you look?

I found this outside the main entrance.

That's Jason Newman's ID, Brinkley.

So, tell security that she's outside the hospital. Go, go, go, go, go.

Matthew, the masquerade.

Will I ever learn?

Whoa! Whoa!

Are you okay?

You scared me there.

Need some help?

Mm -hmm.

Sambert, I thought you were going to the movies. Yeah, I was, but something

happened. Come on in. It's okay.

Is this your date for the evening?

No, Jim. I almost hit her with my car. She jumped right out in front of me.

She's not talking. She doesn't have any ID.

She looks terrified.

Judging from the gown, I'd say she's an escapee from the psych ward at Engelman

General.

I'll make a few calls, see what we can find out here. Chief, keep off the

furniture.

Yeah, this is Detective Jim Ellis from the Cascade Police Department. I was

wondering if any of your patients were missing.

Caucasian female, about 5 '5", between 110, 120.

Brown hair.

She's got the green gown on.

You like that?

I was made by a tribe in the Pacific Northwest called the Haida Nation.

All right, thanks.

She's not from Engleman. Well, there's a ton of other hospitals in Cascade,

Jack. I think we should just take her down to the station, let them sort it

down there. No, no, no. That's why I brought her here, man. The station will

terrify her. There's too much going on.

You got a better idea?

Come on.

Yeah, it's Ellison.

Uh -huh.

All right, I'll be there in 15 minutes. Where are you guys again?

All right.

Let's go.

That was Brown.

He's on a stakeout. Dolinsky was supposed to relieve him.

Only Dolinsky just called in with the flu.

So you got to go take over for him? Yeah.

Well, why don't we just let her stay here tonight until we figure out what to

with her?

Chief, we don't know anything about this girl.

She could be a doper, have outstanding warrants.

She might need medication.

Jim, what are you talking... Jim, come on, take a look.

How dangerous could she be?

I thought I asked you to keep her off the fire, Charlie.

What am I going to do?

All right.

Call missing persons, you ask for bellows. Any problems, call me on my

telephone. All right.

And Sandberg, why don't you lock up the cutlery?

Hey, Jim, you don't want your sandwich anymore, do you?

See you in the morning.

Missing persons, please.

Who is it?

We're here from Somerset Rehabilitation Hospital. We got a call from the police.

We found one of our patients.

Uh, yeah, yeah. Hang on.

Hey, how you doing? Good morning. Come on in.

Blair. Peter.

He's right over here.

Nothing to be afraid of. We're just going to take a ride back. Hey, hey,

take it easy. We're going to take a ride back to the hospital.

Take it easy. Come on, Stacy.

Don't be so rough with her. Look, this is her job, okay?

Just let us do it. I understand it's your job, but come on.

Hey, hey, you don't have to be so rough with her.

I told you to back off.

All right, take it easy.

Calm down.

Hey, man, there were these two guys that told me they were from the hospital,

and they pointed a gun, and they sunk themselves!

Where'd they go?

They couldn't have gotten you four.

You know what, Franklin?

You might be heading for the freeway, you know?

Quiet.

You're going to get hit.

Keep it up.

Come on. Get out of here.

Over this way.

Come on.

Let's go. Come on.

Thank you, Stacy.

Well, other than a few scrapes and bruises, I'd say she's fine, given her

condition. What is her condition?

When she was 12 years old, Stacy was in a car wreck with her parents, and they

were killed.

She spent the last eight years in a coma.

Eight years?

She finally woke up about a month ago, and since then, she's undergone

physical therapy to overcome the effects of such a long coma.

And she's doing fairly well.

Psychologically, it's another story.

She won't talk.

She has bad dreams, and she gets frightened easily.

Physically, she's a young woman, but emotionally, Stacy's still a 12 -year

girl. I'd like to get her back to the hospital as soon as possible.

No, that's out of the question, doctor.

We still don't know who those two men were. And until we do, I want her under

-hour protection.

I'll arrange for a safe house.

Actually, it's probably best if she stays here.

The less exposure, the better.

How about it, Doctor?

Yeah. I suppose a few days will be all right.

I'll arrange for a physical therapist to work with her here. Great. Then it's

all settled.

I'll set it up.

These are the old police reports on that wreck that killed the girl's parents.

Brian and Audrey knew me.

There's evidence that they were run off the road by another vehicle.

You're wondering if there's any connection between that and the two guys

grabbed Stacey?

Well, maybe they're afraid she can identify him. Yeah, that's possible.

Sir, any cholesterol problem?

Anyway, I got the address. The place where Noomi used to work as a mechanic.

He only worked there for a couple of months.

The boss said he was the best mechanic they ever had.

Whenever he would put his hands on an engine, it's like magic.

The only magic my mechanic performs is when he reaches into the bottom of my

wallet. Yeah, I hear that.

Well, the boss told me that when I...

Newman died, cleared out his locker, and found this notebook.

Looks like rocket science.

Not to me, sir.

Good, I thought it was just me.

No, obviously Newman was into a lot more than just being an auto mechanic.

Banks!

No, he's here. Go ahead, patch it through.

See you.

Allison.

I asked the FBI to run the names and social security numbers of Stacy's

through their computer. Yeah.

Brian and Audrey Newman were killed in a plane crash in Florida 12 years before

their car wreck. What?

Obviously, they borrowed the identities of somebody who's already been dead. But

if they're not Audrey and Brian Newman, who are they?

Who the hell is Stacy?

This is your old house, huh?

Yeah. I got the keys from the realtors.

I thought coming here might help her remember, right?

Do you know where we are, Daisy?

She looks lost.

She is, man.

She went to sleep as a child. She woke up as an adult.

She missed critical years of her life, all sorts of cultural indoctrinations,

rites of passage. I can't imagine what she's going through.

I saw a beautiful dress at the store that I know my boyfriend would love.

You're too old to play with Barbies.

Don't you think she's a little old to do this?

Yeah, she's weird.

Yeah, she's really weird.

Stay with her.

Can I have my doll, please? We have to go.

Hey!

Hey,

what are you doing?

in the police department.

Is he okay?

Hey, do you have any change?

Me first.

Can I have some ice cream?

Please? Oh, yeah. Of course.

Go confused.

What about your mother, your father?

Well, I remember.

Mom had brown hair.

And Dad.

I can't remember.

Why can't I remember them?

It's okay.

Okay, Simon.

I'll clean it in a while.

That guy's name is Lee Devlin.

He's got a rap sheet as long as my arm.

Assault, attempted murder, armed robbery.

Do we know who he was working for?

No, but I'm still checking on that.

Well, after her coma, it's not surprising that she'd suffer from

amnesia. But at least she's talking to us. So is this one of those wait -and

-see situations?

Afraid so.

All these years State has been here, who's been picking up her tab?

State?

Parsley. Then who?

The Chadwick Foundation.

It's a private organization that does scientific research.

Why would a private foundation pay her hospitals?

It's extremely rare for a patient to survive a coma for so long.

Stacey's even been written up in the medical journals.

I have some rounds to run, so if you have any more questions, just give me a

call. Thanks very much for your time, Doctor.

Stacey. Stacey Newman. I'm Carrie Sullivan from the Cascade Sun.

Can I speak to you for just a moment? That won't be possible.

Miss Newman's in protective custody.

And you are? Detective Ellison. Come on, detective.

I mean, she just woke up from an eight -year coma, right?

It's like a real Sleeping Beauty story. I just want to know a few things. It's

not going to take very long.

You have no right.

Oh,

it's beautiful.

How did you know I'd like it?

You're a lucky guest.

Jim Ellison in a dress shop.

I would have loved to have seen that. Oh, to be a fly on the wall.

Oh, come on. I was married once, you know.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

I'm going to go chat to Yvonne.

Great.

Uh -oh.

Chief, you got anything to say? Come right out with it.

I don't have anything to say. I think she said it all.

Hello?

Yeah, hey, Simon. How you doing?

Hang on a second.

Jim, Simon, the morgue finally dug out those fingerprints on Stacey's parents.

The FBI has positively ID'd them as Jack and Nora Strassman of Tacoma.

Yeah, they were researchers in the physics department at Pacific Tech

University.

And nine years ago, for no apparent reason, they vanished.

All right, we'll check it out.

Anything look familiar?

I don't know.

Maybe.

I'm meeting with a guy named Martin Van Zandt. He used to work with your mother

-in -law.

Why don't you and Stacy have a walk around the campus, see if anything drops

memory, okay? Good. Meet you in front of the library in an hour.

All right.

Ain't your coma?

Finally came out of the maze.

I am sad to hear about Jack and Nora.

I was always puzzled by their disappearance.

Can you think of any reason why someone would have wanted to kill them?

As far as I know, Jack and Nora didn't have an enemy in the world.

According to the morgue, they had at least one.

What sort of work were the Strassmans doing?

Men?

No, thank you.

It's difficult to put in layman's terms.

Basically, they...

Had a grant to research a generation of light energy from sound. It's called

sonoluminescence.

Is that what this notebook is about?

No,

this is just some equations for an internal combustion engine.

What were you expecting to find?

Nothing really. I was just excited to see some work by an old colleague.

I have a faculty meeting. I'm sorry I couldn't tell you more.

I appreciate your time.

Professor, can you tell me who funded this draftsman's grant?

Well, I'd have to check, but I think it was the Chadwick Foundation.

I remember this.

And I remember my mom.

She was sitting right there.

And she was wearing a white sweater.

Good, good. Yeah.

Jim!

Hi. I remembered. I was here.

Oh, that's good news.

That's terrific.

How'd your meeting with Vanzanko? I got the feeling he was hiding something.

I got a strange suspicion that the same foundation that's paying Stacy's

hospital bills also funded her parents' research.

I need the number for Chadway Foundation, please.

So this is the Chadway Foundation.

What kind of foundation operates out of a warehouse, man?

It doesn't even look like they use it anymore.

Well, if they don't use it, why would they need a security system?

And a high -tech surveillance camera.

Good question.

Hey, okay, where are you going?

I was going to see if anybody's home.

Sort of get their attention.

Jackpot.

Let's go.

Put your hands away.

I got him.

Relax, big guy. I'm unarmed.

Just relax.

I'm a detective with the Cascade Police Department.

We know who you are, detective.

What are you doing here?

Well, I could ask you the same question.

While you're at it, why don't you tell me who you really are?

Military intelligence.

And you just broke into a high -security government facility, detective. A very

serious offender.

So unless I get some fast answers, you're going to jail.

It's getting a little old.

I've been going over this for a couple hours now. None of us know anything.

You know about Jack and Nora Strassman?

About Pacific Tech?

The Chadway Foundation?

I can't make sense of any of it.

Do you want to go to prison, Stacy?

No. Then tell me what your parents told you.

I can't remember anything.

I've tried, but I can't. Hey, so...

We might be able to help you out if you tell us what the hell's going on here.

Yeah, this is a voluntary Q &A.

I've had enough. You have no right to hold this. Sit down.

I said sit down.

Everybody hold the file.

Trust me, if any of these people make a bloody move, shoot them.

I'll catch them. I signed it back. These are my people. This is federal

property. I don't recall seeing any signs here. Did you, Jim?

No, sir.

Unless I see a federal warrant in two seconds, these people are coming with

That's what I thought.

All right, let's go. All right.

Come on.

I don't know who you people are or what you're up to, but I'm going to find out.

Nice to see you, sir.

How'd you find me? I heard you were going to the Chadway Foundation.

Are you bluffing back there, Captain?

You know me, Jim.

I love to play poker.

Hello,

Detective.

What brings you back to Pacific Tech?

A lot of questions, Professor.

And I think you have the answers.

Come inside.

Jack and Nora Strassman weren't just two of the best scientists I've ever known.

They were also the most moral.

Their passion was to develop a cheap, pollution -free energy source.

They were on the verge of a breakthrough.

They needed money.

I got them some.

From the Chadway Foundation?

Yes.

Which is the front for the military.

Well, they use it to channel funds when they want to keep a low profile.

The military wanted to use their research for weapons applications.

Didn't tell that to the Strassmans. And when they found out?

They were peace activists, detective.

They refused to continue, and the military threatened to take their

away. Was Carrie Sullivan involved?

Better. Yeah.

And you know how difficult she can be.

Somehow she got the notion that the Strassmans wanted to sell their ideas to

foreign government.

She confronted them.

They disappeared along with their work. So for the last eight years, Sullivan's

been waiting for Stacey to wake up, hoping that she'd lead them to the

Could anybody else have known about Strassman's work?

Picture an energy source so powerful that it could make nuclear arms

I think any government on Earth would want that.

But the Strassmans could just have destroyed their files.

Well, it was a discovery of a lifetime.

Knowing Jack and Nora, they probably hid it somewhere, hoping to retrieve it

when the time was right.

Hey, I saw this.

I don't know, while Stacy was in the hospital, her parents' things were put

storage. I asked Ray from Brown to bring a couple of things over here.

I thought it might help her memory. Why don't you help her with one of the boxes

there, Chief? Yeah.

What's this?

Oh, yeah, we got some pictures here.

Yeah.

Oh, yeah, what a cute baby.

Is that your mom?

She's pretty. You look a lot like her.

Hey, look, there she is at the university with the white sweater you

talking about.

Is that it?

Who's your dad?

Get over here.

Looks like a happy family.

Oh, man.

Why don't you go talk to her?

Jim, I think right about now you're the one she's closest to. Me?

Yeah. Last night.

When she went to sleep.

I, uh... found this on the floor.

This cold girl, Christ, I mean, come on. I mean, emotionally, she's a kid,

remember? And when you're 12 years old, your feelings, they may be immature, but

they're still real.

This

is

all very difficult for you, Stace.

Sometimes I wish I was still asleep.

I have all these feelings that get mixed up. You've been through a lot. It's

going to get better. I mean, things will change.

Maybe I don't want things to change.

Maybe if things change too much, you won't be around anymore.

I'm not going anywhere.

We'll always be able to be friends, and that's not going to change.

What if I want you to be more than just my friend?

Stacy, so much has happened to you.

I think your emotions are a little confused right now.

You think I'm just a child, some little girl? No, no, not at all.

I just think you have some time to make up, and you just need to be a little bit

more patient with yourself.

I don't want to be patient.

It's too hard, and it takes too long.

You know, these feelings that you have for me right now, I...

to be. You don't know what I think it is or how I feel. No, I know. Just go

away. Just leave me alone.

Stacy. Just go.

That was a great idea.

No good?

Well, maybe we should just leave her alone for a little while, huh?

Do you feel it?

Feel what?

Cold air.

Oh, great.

Dr. Tarloff?

Yes?

I didn't know where else to go.

Well, you came to the right place.

Rafe and Brown were right outside the loft. How could she get past them?

She went down the fire escape and out through the back alley, sir.

We already searched her old house.

Went to her old school. Every place from her past we could think of. She has to

be somewhere.

Well, you know, guys, it doesn't have to be a place from her past. What if it's

a place from her present? The only new place she knows is the loft.

And the hospital.

Yeah, yeah, she's here.

This is getting out of control now.

Who are you talking to? Oh, it's a friend of mine. He's going to help us

He'll be here in a minute.

I'm cold.

I got a jacket in the trunk.

I smell gunpowder.

It's coming from over here.

Jim,

that's Tarlo.

Jim and I came here looking for Stacy Newman, trying to find Dr.

Tarloff. Looks like he's coming.

A couple more shots over here.

I'm still confused.

How does Tarloff figure into this?

He must have been working for them.

Well, that would explain how they knew Stacy was at your loft that night.

What I'm concerned about, Simon, is just who the hell are they?

I can't believe you guys lost her.

When Stacy Newman is found, I am putting her in protective custody.

You put that thing away, all right? Look, Sullivan, whoever has Stacy will

probably kill her once they find out what they want. So instead of being a

in the ass, why don't you help us out? A pain in the ass? Fine, how?

Well, for starters, you must have some idea as to who took her. The truth is, I

don't. And you call us incompetent?

Look, let's lay out what we have, huh?

When the Strassmans were at Pacific Tech, how did you find out that they

intended to sell their research to somebody else?

We had confidential information.

Who would that be?

Shall I define confidential for you?

Sullivan, this is what I'm talking about. This isn't helping out at all.

why don't you try to help?

Excuse me.

It's a breath mint.

It was Van Zandt, wasn't it? What are you talking about?

The Strathclydes weren't going to sell out.

It was Van Zandt.

He set him up to cover himself, and you fell for it.

That's impossible.

Hello, Stacey.

What happened?

It's all right.

You're safe.

Who are you?

I'm Martin Van Zandt.

I was a very good friend of your parents at the university.

Don't you remember me?

I don't remember a lot of things.

You will.

Why did you bring me here?

Because I want to help.

The government thinks that your parents were traitors. But they weren't. I know.

But to prove it, you need to remember where they hid their research.

I've tried, but I can't.

This time you will.

It's a drug to help your memory.

You're going to have to trust me, Stacy.

You're doing this for your parents.

Because you love them.

All right, now, why are we going back to the house?

If Van Zandt wants those research papers, he's probably going to want to

memory.

So we can get them back.

Which means he'll probably do what we did.

Yeah, but we know that the feds went through there years ago. The papers

there. See, if you've got a better idea, I'm all ears.

Just relax.

Breathe slowly.

Let it take you into the past.

Remember the night that you left this house.

I remember my mom came into my room and told me to get dressed.

Stacy, honey, wake up. Stacy.

My dad was downstairs.

There were suitcases by the door.

Mommy, what's going on?

We have to go on a trip.

We got in the car.

My mom handed me Bowser.

Don't forget about us.

We drove away.

That's all I remember.

There has to be more. Now, Stacy, think!

All right, all right.

Try again.

It's very important.

My dad was by the fireplace.

He had Bowser.

I couldn't see what he was doing.

This time it wasn't a damn toy!

Well, now we can give it to the government people.

Yeah.

It was you.

I saw you.

You killed my parents.

Stacy, you don't understand.

I was trying to help them.

I saw the potential in their work.

When they needed money for their project, I was the one that got it for

They were such idealists.

When they found out the money came from the military, they got angry.

That's when I told them my idea to sell it to another government. But how could

you do that?

Parents. I told them, if you want to have peace, make sure that everybody has

it. And in the process, we become rich.

What's wrong with that?

We're so self -righteous, just like you are.

I got her.

And what about her?

What do you think?

Cascade PD, hold her right there.

What's this about, Detective?

Where's Peyton?

Right here.

Down that gun.

I'll kill her.

I'll do it.

You want her to die?

Don't let her hurt me.

You all right? You okay?

I need your bike, buddy.

Pull over!

Pull it over, damn it!

Are you kidding me, Dave? That's great.

All right, thanks, man.

A friend of mine at the federal building says Sullivan's bosses were so pissed

at her actions that she's been relieved of duty and scheduled for review.

By the time they're through, the only assignment she's going to be able to

is mopping the director's office.

Life can be so cruel.

Oh, yes, it can, can't it?

It is too bad about the Strausman's research being destroyed in that

A clean source of energy would have been nice. Amen to that.

All right, guys.

We're all ready to go to the airport.

Wow.

Don't you look great?

So grown up.

Hey, Blair, you know, there's some construction over on Fifth. You might

check out the... Oh, right. Yep.

Blair tells me that the school you're going to in Portland has a great

They're going to help you catch up.

I hope so.

You know,

I look in the mirror and I see this grown -up person.

Inside I still feel small.

Actually, I'm a little scared.

I feel that way a lot myself.

But if you ever feel that way, feel free to call anytime.

Thank you.

For everything.

You helped me get back my life.

We really gotta go.

Yep.

Take care of yourself.

I'll see you soon.

Drive safe.

We'll see you later.

All right.

Talk to you. See you, Simon.

Ever wish you could just sleep through those bad periods of your life, wake up,

and it's all over?

Me? Nah, never.

Come on, buddy. I'll buy you a cup of coffee.

Well, we'd better make it a double.

If I fall asleep now, I don't know when I'll wake up.

I don't think I'd make a very good sleeping beauty.
