All language subtitles for The Pretender S04e14

[Bell Dings]

After the ceremony, I'll have you
transferred back to the hotel.

I've also taken the liberty
of contacting a real estate agent.

- We need to talk.
- I'm busy.

Who's the guy?

Not now, okay?

My sincerest apologies.

[Shutter Clicking]

[Elevator Bell Dings]

- Excuse me.
- [Shutters Continue Clicking]

[Gavel Raps]

Welcome to what I'm sure
is the beginning of exciting new lives...

as United States citizens.

If you'll raise your right hands
and repeat after me-

I hereby declare, on oath...

I hereby declare, on oath...

- that I absolutely and entirely
renounce and abjure...

that I absolutely and entirely

- Someone please get security here now!
- [Gavel Rapping Continues]

Order! Please!

- [Fire Alarm Ringing]
- [Judge] Please remain calm!

Remain calm and file in an orderly manner
to the nearest exit!

Please remain calm!

[Shouting In Cambodian]

[Fire Alarm Continues Ringing]

[Muttering In Cambodian]

Did you see the look
on that poor woman's face?

I know she's blind, but she acted
like she'd seen the devil himself.

[Man Narrating]
There are Pretenders among us.

[Jarod]
I was taken from my family.

Thirty-six hours and he's already demonstrating
more talent than any of our others.

How many people died
because of what I thought up?

Since I broke out, I've spent
every moment searching for my past.

[Miss Parker]
He's a Pretender-

A genius who can become
anyone that he wants to be.

- The Centre wants him alive.
- Preferably.

- [Miss Parker] He defends the weak and abused.
- [Jarod] Life's a gift.

- You a doctor?
- I am today.

[Broots] I pulled a still frame
off the front gate security camera.

- Well, he signed in under the name Ki Mak.
- Sounds Thai.

Cambodian. Run it through
our Interpol server, see what pops up.

- Okay.
- He has a tattoo.

- A tattoo?
- On the back of his right hand.

It's a snake eating itself.

I'll make a note.

- Think Lyle is up to something?
- I know Lyle is up to something.

The question is, what?

[Woman] Just make sure the invoices
are signed and initialed.

- Thanks.
- [Phone Ringing]

[Woman]
Agent Berger, I.N.S..

Uh, no, sir...

I can't deport someone because
you don't like the price of cigarettes.

Well, I suggest
you shop at another store.

No, sir, that's- that's not a joke.
That's America.

[Line Hangs Up, Dial Tone]

Can I help you, Mr., uh-

Agent. Ellis. Jarod Ellis.

I was sent down about a blind woman.

- Sent down?
- Yes, from D.C.

I was working a case outside of Stockbridge
when we got the call from your office.

From what agent?

Rinker.

- Mike Rinker?
- [Phone Ringing]

- Jack.
- [Ringing Continues]

Excuse me.

[Punching Keypad]

[Man On Radio]
Security to the southwest door.

Carol. Is Jack Rinker
still in his offiice?

He's gone.

Would you get me
his car phone? Thanks.

I give up.

One hour, and all I get is her name
and the same thing over and over again.

[Repeats Phrase Twice In Cambodian]

I'm fluent in five Asian languages, but I'll be
damned if I know what she's tryin'to say.

She's thirsty.
She would like a drink of water.

- You speak Cambodian?
- Doesn't everybody?

I've got Jack Rinker on a car phone.
Should I put him through?

Tell him to have a good vacation.

She's all yours.

Kim Chay.
[Speaking Cambodian] Jarod.

[Speaking Cambodian]

Could we try this in English?

Could you tell me what happened
today at the ceremony?

I mean you no harm.

Well, you're my second
surprise visit from D.C. today.

- Second?
- Agent Jarod Ellis?

Jarod?

6'2", 180 pounds, dark hair, dark eyes?

- You know him?
- We've met.

May I see your identification?

I'm Agent Greene. This is Agent Hill.
Internal Division.

[Jarod]
I realize this is all very confusing...

but I can't help you
unless I know what's going on.

It was reported...

that you kept saying the word "butcher"
over and over again at the ceremony.

Can you tell me why?

[Greene]
Where is he?

He's in the last interrogation room,
right down the hall.

Damn!

[Ki Mak] This problem must be
dealt with immediately.

I don't understand.

The woman you saw
at the ceremony this morning...

is an unfortunate link to my past...

which now makes her a link to yours.

I am sensitive to your concerns.
But if I'm not mistaken, she was also blind.

Under estimating the meek has
brought more than one army to its knees.

We have a very good army here.

- [Door Opens]
- [Clears Throat]

[Door Closes]

Did you find her?

[Whispers]
The blind woman has been taken.

Taken?

- By whom?
- By Jarod.

I suggest you tell your soldiers
this is war.

- [Bells Pealing]
- Here. Let me get that.

[Pealing Continues]

Is that a picture of your family?

Mother.

Father.
Brother.

Where are they now?

Dead.

All murdered by the Butcher.

All murdered by the Butcher.

[Broots] Mak came to the United States
three months ago from Venezuela.

I'm more interested
in his connection to Lyle.

Well, I don't know if it's related...

but Lyle's made three business trips
to Caracas in the past 12 months.

As far as I can tell, the Centre has no ties
to anyone or anything in that country.

- Not on paper, you mean.
- I did hear something else.

I was in the bathroom and I overheard
a couple Sweepers saying...

that Willie had a close encounter
with Jarod today.

- Where?
- The men's room, SL-10.

The encounter with Jarod, you boob.

Oh. Virginia. Across the river.

But that's not all. Willie has been assigned
special temporary duty to Lyle's team.

Where are you going?

To have a little talk with baby brother.

[Bells Pealing]

[Kim Chay]
All murdered by the Butcher.

- In a hurry?
- Extreme.

Hey, did you ever wonder
why a Cambodian citizen...

would choose to live in Venezuela?

Isn't that interesting? I suppose
it could be the climate. Or the coffee.

Or is it, perhaps...

Venezuela has no extradition treaty
with the West?

Something on your mind, Sis?

Who's Ki Mak?

And why is Raines's guard dog
babysitting him?

Shouldn't you be out hunting for Jarod?

It's funny you should ask that...

considering I heard your people
had a close encounter with him today.

Can I get a little privacy?

No.

Now, do you want to talk to me, or should I
go put my foot down on Willie's throat?

Mak is a former leader
of the Cambodian Freedom Fighters.

He fled Southeast Asia
after Saigon fell.

He went underground
for his own safety.

- What's he doing here?
- We met in Thailand about five years ago.

He helped me out of a situation.

I promised to return the favor.

Trust me, our little brush with Jarod
was purely coincidence.

Go on.

Mak needed a sponsor
to become a U.S. citizen.

I pulled some strings, got him a commission
as cultural liaison at the local port authority.

[Water Running]

Now, I suggest you refocus
your attention on Jarod...

and climb off my back
before I run out of patience.

Is that a threat?

What do you think?

You must really like sugar dates.

Actually... they're for a friend.

These prayer beads belong to-

Who are you?

I'm a friend of Kim Chay's.

I need to ask you some questions.

I built this for the other Cambodians
in the area.

A little piece of what we left behind.

Come.
We'll talk in the back room.

Please.

My country is very beautiful,
but it has seen much pain-

the war with America,
the genocidal march of Pol Pot.

The leader of the Khmer Rouge.

Yes.

Please, sit.

Nearly 25 years has passed...

but I can still smell
the burning bodies.

I keep these to remember,
to never forget what man is capable of.

Kim Chay was tortured
by the Khmer Rouge.

Worse, I'm afraid.

I had a brother
who lived in her village.

Kim Chay's family was at home
when the soldiers came.

Her father, her mother, her brother...

were executed in front ofher.

Yousee, she wasn't born blind.

It is told that she attacked
the offiicer in charge...

to try and save her family...

that she drew his blood...

with her bare hands.

She was six years old.

This man?

Yes. This man is Colonel Chen Thon.

He was an officer in the Khmer Rouge-
an evil killing monster.

Did you witness Thon
commit these murders?

No.

The only witness
still alive is Kim Chay.

Some of the worst officers fled
to the Golden Triangle...

and flourished in the heroin trade.

If Colonel Thon is here...

then Kim Chay's life is in great danger.

And now, I fear, so is yours.

It turns out Mak is being sworn in by
the Port Authority tomorrow afternoon.

- And you intend to be there?
- Lyle knows his ticket to the top
is still Jarod.

But all he seems to care about is making good
on a promise he made five years ago...

to a virtual stranger.

- Your point?
- There's more to this than we know.

And this Mak character is the key.

Hell, maybe Jarod'll
even make a surprise appearance.

- [Sighs]
- Well?

It's like Mak just appeared
out of thin air.

There's no birth certificate...

uh, school records, nothing.

- Records can disappear.
- They can also be erased.

I tried to open up a computer file
on Mak I had found earlier today...

to double-check some information.

It was gone. Wiped out.
It's like any history of this man is-

- Being destroyed before our eyes.
- Lyle.

He told me he met Mak in Thailand.

Broots, take that photo,
run it again for a visual match.

And this time isolate the primary search
to Southeast Asian targets-

books, magazines, newspapers.

And hurry. This guy could be gone
before we find out who he really is.

Kim Chay?

[Bells Pealing]

[Bell Tolls]

Kim Chay?

I know you don't want to
talk about what happened...

but I'm not going to just go away.

I never had a real home.

I understand pain...

and loss.

Tell me about your blindness.

It was the time of Year Zero.

Pol Pot and his followers
wanted to stop Thon...

begin the war with themself
as the only power.

The killings began with the teachers.

Then the spiritual leaders.

And finally the artists.

Your mother and your father.

They were writer of poetry.

Words of comfort and joy to the people.

Colonel Thon make my father
read from his own book.

Then he kill him...

and the other members of my family.

This was the day the sun went away.

I want to help the sun return for you.

But I have to examine your eyes.

Can I do that?

I feel your pain and loneliness.

You have lost many people that you love.

Yes.

[Bells Pealing]

[Phone Beeps]

- [Line Rings]
- This is Sydney.

I checked Kim Chay's eyes.

There's no sign
of damage or disease.

Have you ever encountered
something called terror silence?

First cases surfaced...

after the bombing
of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

Hospitals began seeing patients
quite unable to communicate.

And yet these people showed no signs
of physiological damage.

Their afflictions were psychosomatic reactions
to the horrific savagery they witnessed.

I believe that Kim Chay's blindness
is a form of terror silence.

Well, the human mind is capable of
almost anything in order to protect its host.

She doesn't deserve
a life of darkness, Sydney.

What approach should I take?

In some cases,
the stricken have responded...

by confronting the object of their terror.

But be very careful.

If she's pushed too hard,
she may never emerge from the darkness.

- [Knocking]
- Sydney!

Oh, by the way...

Miss Parker is planning a little trip
across the river this afternoon.

It seems she has become interested
in local politics.

A certain Port Authority commission hearing,
to be more precise.

I thought you'd be interested to know.

- Very interested.
- [Beeps]

Kim Chay.

I believe you have something
that's known as a conversion disorder.

I do not understand.

When something emotional,
something traumatic happens to a person...

it can manifest itself
in a physiological way.

In your case...

blindness.

Can this disorder be cured?

I believe it can.

- But-
- What?

You're going to have to face
the thing that triggered it.

You're going to have to face
Colonel Thon.

[Trembling, Sobbing]

He's going to remain a free man
unless you step forward.

Kim Chay, there is so much beauty
in the world.

Don't let this monster
take it away from you.

I have lived in the darkness
for so many years...

trying to erase
the face of the killer.

I cannot let the monster
back in again.

I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.

Okay, okay, okay.

We'll find another way.

We'll find another way.

Shh-shh-shh-shh.

[Sighs]

Okay. I ran the picture of Mak
and got a hit from a Bangkok newspaper.

It's a story that ran five years ago.

It turns out Mak's
real name is Chen Thon.

He was some military bigwig
with the Communists.

[Miss Parker]
So, Lyle lied about Mak. What a surprise.

- What's it say?
- I would've taken the time to have
the newspaper translated...

but I knew you spoke the language.

Well, I'm not getting it all...

but apparently Lyle was arrested
for assaulting a couple of prostitutes.

Lyle? What-
What is with this guy?

First it's the murder of Chay Lin.

Then it's the two sisters in college,
and then the bloody torture chamber...

a-and now this?

Parker, you okay?

Fine.

[Parker Retching, Coughing]

[Toilet Flushing]

- [Woman] I'm sorry, si r.
I don't know what happened.
- I don't need excuses. Just get it done.

I want any remaining trace
of Thon's previous life wiped out.

And make sure the suppliers
in Thailand are ready to move.

Excuse me, Mr. Lyle?

[Door Closes]

Mr. Mak called and asked
if you could meet him right away.

He said he has new information...

concerning the woman
from the ceremony.

He's waiting for you
downstairs in his car.

- Um, Lucy?
- Yes, sir?

That's a lovely dress you're wearing.

Thank you, sir.

[Door Opens, Closes]

Driver, where's-

What the hell is this?
Where's Mak?

I am sorry, sir...

but there's been
a slight change of plan.

You didn't think I'd let you sleep
through all the fun, now did you?

Take this thing off my head!

Oh, quit your whining!

You won't get away with this.

- They'll be looking for me.
- Meaning Colonel Thon?

Didn't think I was gonna allow you
to let that genocidal maniac...

free in the world again, did you?

- That's a done deal.
- Oh, yes.

That Port Commission thing.

Not a totally idiotic plan.

You have your guy appointed
to the Port Commission...

and then you have an open pipeline
to smuggle in heroin from Southeast Asia.

It's just business.

Just business.

With a man who butchered thousands
of innocent people in cold blood.

[Chuckling] You know my philosophy,
Jarod. Don't ask, don't tell.

Besides, you can't show your face
at that hearing.

Miss Parker will have
a small army waiting for you.

Miss Parker. Well, that could pose
quite a problem, couldn't it?

Ups-a-daisy.
[Grunts]

- What do you want from me?
- Time.

I'm going to dial Miss Parker. You're going
to tell her that you captured me.

You're gonna give her the address here.

She's gonna come down those stairs,
trip this wire and...

I think you can guess the rest.

[Exhales]
And ifl refuse?

That's not really an option.

When you used to torture me
at the Centre...

I had to apply a technique
that I learned as a little boy...

to help block out the physical pain.

I had to go to places in my mind.

You, on the other hand...

have not perfected
this particular survival technique.

Have you?

You-
[Groans]

[Exhales]

Intimidating, isn't it?

I took it off this rancher in Montana
who was abusing his cattle.

I know-you're thinking
it's not the same thing.

And you're right.
The cattle didn't deserve it.

Shall we make that phone call?

Hmm?

[Sydney]
Interesting reading?

Or can't you believe what it says?

I've known you since you were
a little girl, Parker.

I can tell when you're
trying to hide something.

It just doesn't seem like the kind of thing
you could say about a blood relation.

[Exhales]

The story isn't about an assault.
It's about a double murder.

Lyle was the prime suspect.

Hmm.

According to the paper, he used
an unidentified military source
to cut a deal with the police.

Colonel Thon.

And that isn't all, is it?

These girls weren't just killed.

They were mutilated.

- Mutilated?
- Some of their...

internal organs...

were removed.
[Clears Throat]

[Phone Rings]

- [Beeps]
- What?

Are you sure?

I hear you.

- I'm on my way!
- [Beeps]

That was Lyle.
He's capturedJarod.

I call this appointment session
of the Port Authority Commission to order.

Today's business includes
the confirmation of Mr. Ki Mak...

as cultural liaison to the P.A.C.

- Good morning, Mr. Mak.
- Ms. Owen. Gentlemen.

As I review the data before me,
I have to say I have never...

in my 23 years
as a member of this council...

come across such an exemplary list
of recommendations.

My life has been, uh,
dedicated and devoted...

to serving my fellow man.

I believe each of us is given
the opportunity to make a difference.

It is our obligation and duty
to do our very best.

Well, if there aren't any objections...

I suggest that we dispense
with formality and proceed to the vote.

That would be a very bad idea.

- Who are you?
- Oh, it's not important.

It's the man to whom you're
about to give the keys to the city...

you should correctly identify.

You know him as Ki Mak, scholar,
humanitarian, family man.

But his real name
is Colonel Chen Thon...

and his legacy consists
of the torture and genocide...

of thousands of people!

Mr. Mak, do you know this man...

or understand any of these
outrageous accusations?

Madam, my life is an open book,
one you have sitting before you.

As for this man, I can assume
that he's confused me with someone else.

What's confusing is that
you've been allowed to live this long.

Colonel Thon was the commander
of an elite killing squad...

responsible for the cold-blooded
murder of innocent men...

women and children.

This is nonsense! Look, I demand
that you remove this man-

I realize all this sounds incredible,
but if you would suspend these proceedings-

I did not come here to hear slander
and false accusations!

to investigate these charges,
you would overturn a life fraught
with torture and death!

Mr. Mak.

Can you speak to these charges?

America stands
as the last great hope for liberty...

a liberty many of my countrymen
have fought and died for.

Let me just say, if I am this-

this monster that I'm being accused of...

let there be one voice, one person...

step forward and prove that I'm guilty.

[Owen]
I agree.

Clearly, this is meaningless
without eyewitness testimony.

Is there anyone that can confirm
these horrific accusations?

[Kim Chay]
I can.

[Spectators Murmuring]

- And you are?
- My name is Kim Chay.

I was born in the Siam Valley
of Northern Cambodia.

The man standing before you...

is responsible for
the murderous deaths...

of my mother, father and brother.

- You witnessed these killings?
- I did.

And you can confirm the identity
of this man that stands before us...

as this Colonel Thon?

This is ridiculous.
This woman is obviously blind.

How can she accurately identify anyone?

For so many years,
I have lived in the dark...

afraid of the memory of your face.

- I will not be afraid anymore.
- [Shutter Clicks]

This is the man...

who killed my mother,
my father and my brother.

This is his blood-

blood drawn by a terrified
six-year-old girl, and that was me.

I suggest that we seal the building...

and have security to hold the accused
for proper authorities.

- [Shouting In Cambodian]
- [Gavel Rapping]

[Screaming]

[Gavel Continues Rapping]

Miss Parker! I know you're not
in a very good mood having to spend
the night trapped with Mr. Lyle.

Lord knows, anybody would be bummed out.

Not to mention being duped
by Jarod again.

I mean, it's like the guy-
the guy gets inside your head.

You can't make a decision without him
being two steps ahead of you.

Go away!

I found out what the tattoo
on Thon's hand means.

Congratulations.

It's the Cambodian symbol
for cannibalism.

If you're thinking of jumping...

I suggest you go up on the roof
and do it right.

You still haven't mastered
the curiously simple art of the knock.

You look terrible.

I had trouble sleeping last night.

I couldn't stop trying to figure out...

why Jarod didn't finish you
when he had the chance.

- I now know the reason.
- What's that?

He didn't want to kill the drama.

I mean, there are so many...

tasty little secrets left...

to be served up.

Not a very flattering picture, is it?

I know you killed those girls.

And after seeing
that artwork on your arm...

I can only imagine what happened
to the rest of them.

Well, you must not have
finished the article...

because I was acquitted
of all the charges.

And as for the tattoo,
well, it's just one of several.

Want to see the others?

You bought yourself out of jail...

and used a war criminal
to broker the deal.

Well, you have been...

a busy little beaver, haven't you?

Okay.

[Exhales]
For the sake of argument,
let's say that...

I did these horrible things
you're accusing me of.

- There's still no way to prove it.
- I have Mak.

Or Colonel Thon, as it turns out.

I put the right deal on the table...

he'll offer up you and
your psycho-pathetic sins
on a silver platter.

No pun intended.

And...

to whom are you going
to give this information?

The Triumvirate, for starters.

I'm sure they'd be very
interested to know...

they have a flesh-eating serial killer
running their organization.

I cut a deal with Thon,
and you're finished.

Oh, um, I'm sure the Colonel
would be interested in your offer...

if, of course, he could hear it.
[Chuckles]

So I guess you didn't read
the paper this morning, huh?

The authorities are calling it
a tragic accident.

I prefer to think of it as karma.

I'm just crazy about leftovers.
Aren't you?

My God.

You're insane.

[Judge] And that I take
this obligation freely...

And that I take
this obligation freely...

without any mental reservation...

without any mental reservation...

or purpose of evasion.

or purpose of evasion.

So help me, God.

So help me, God.

Congratulations.
You are now all United States citizens.

- I didn't think you would come.
- Are you kidding?
I wouldn't have missed it for the world.

- How does it feel to be a citizen?
- Like I finally have a home.

You heard that Colonel Thon
died in a car accident?

I saw the paper.
But you are wrong.

He died when you gave me
the courage to face him.

What made you change your mind
about confronting him?

A friend reminded me
how much beauty there was in the world.

Thank you, Jarod.

I hope you find a way
to let the light back into your life.

Thank you.
