Yellow to yellow,

green to green, blue to blueI

You'll blow up the whole system

if even one wire is crossedI

We're going down fast!

- Come on! Come on!

- Okay! Okay!

Just one connection to go!

- Damn!

- What?

We've got about 30 seconds

before it's too late!

Jarod, he's got three wires leftI

Only one of them is blueI What should he do?

- Lyle,you have to choose carefullyI

- In other words, guess!

And pray that he's right.

Lyle, pick one, damn itI

Pick oneI

Yes!

Not so fast.

-What?

-The good news is we're landing in about 10 seconds.

The bad news is the landing gear

is not deploying properly.

So hold onI

We're going to crashI

Jarod!

Damn it!

Come on!

This thing's gonna blow!

This must have been

an emotionally trying time for you.

Are you all right,

Miss Parker?

I don't know, Broots.

But thanks.

I just want

everything to get-

You know, I almost said

I want everything to get back to normal.

No such thing around here.

Well, no. Particularly now

that Raines is in charge.

Raines?

What, hadn't you heard?

You look

surprised to see me.

Well, after the way

the Africans were behaving...

on the tarmac in Morocco,

I figured a beheading was in order.

After they understood that

Jarod broke free on the jet...

and,sadly,killed Adama and his guards,

then parachuted away with the scrolls...

they were forgiving, and especially

proud of the way Mr.Parker...

gave his life trying

to save what was theirs.

- Quite a bedtime story.

- It kept us alive.

All of us.

They need me,

now more than ever.

As well as my children.

Jarod has to be returned.

So, it is back to normal.

With a twist.Whichever of you

two brings Jarod back...

will also have

a long-term future here...

and a future

in the Parker legacy.

And whoever fails?

Be careful when you joke

about beheadings.

Your brother has shown me

a sign of loyalty.

I'll be awaiting

a sign from you.

I'll have to get

back to you on that.

-What?

-So what do you think they said?

The scrolls?

I was hoping

you had some answers.

Insights into

the so-called prophecies.

Those answers are somewhere

in the ocean along with my f-

Do you think that...

there's any chance that he bailed

for the right reasons,Jarod? Or-

Or was his Geronimo

just another one of his lies?

I don't know.Maybe it's time you gave

yourself that gift he never gave you-

the truth.

I hope you

find your mother.

And what about... us?

You run. I chase.

That choice was made for us

a long time ago.

Maybe that

is the Parker curse.

Yeah.

Hell of a life

we have here,Jarod.

Only this time, the first one

to find the answers... lives.

Jarod, the prophecies,

if they were real...

maybe...

we could have...

found out what

our future would hold.

If they're real.

The Centre shall rise.

The Chosen will be found...

a boy named...Jarod.
