It's been a year since her
boyfriend's death, Thomas Gates, and Miss Parker remembers some of the good
moments she spent with him. Getting up, she sees Tommy in the shower, but that
is all an illusion. In
Jarod's lair, Broots and Sydney are waiting for her. When Miss Parker arrives,
she takes a look through the place. Jarod worked in a circus and all the room is
decorated with clowns and objects related to the circus. When they're almost
leaving, Miss Parker finds a model that recreates her first meeting with Thomas,
at the gas station. Sydney, Broots and Miss Parker leave and she says that Jarod
must be laughing right now. But, after they left, Jarod shows up from a corner -
he was one of the clowns - and says that he is hardly laughing. Miss
Parker is in the cemetery, next to Thomas' grave. When she's leaving, Jarod
shows up. She is troubled due to everything that happened and points a gun at
him. However, Jarod is not worried because he took the pin out of the gun and it
won't work. Miss Parker checks that and is even more miserable. She asks him
what he is doing there and he answers her that he wants to pay respects to
Thomas Gates and to find out who killed him. Jarod tries to put some flowers on
Thomas' grave, but Miss Parker grabs them and tells him that he doesn't know
what Thomas deserves just because he's a genius. Miss Parker turns her back to
Jarod and asks him why he even cares, but when she turns around, he's gone
(probably he's hiding behind that big tree. LOL). Miss Parker finds a card,
similar to those of Thomas', in the flowers. The card says "RUMOR
58259". At
The Centre, Broots tells Miss Parker that "RUMOR 58259" is a Centre
code, where "rumor" is the name of the operative and the numbers
should be the code for a phone tap. Broots tells her that it shouldn't be easy to find the file and they ask her if she hadn't
heard something. In
Mr. Parker's office, Cox, Lyle and Miss Parker are talking about Mutumbo's
death. Mr. Cox also says that whoever killed Mutumbo also took out his eyes, and
then he asks her if she saw her father. Lyle explains that the gun used to
kill Mutumbo was traced to the highest level of The Centre, and that includes
Miss Parker, Mr. Parker and himself. Cox accuses their father was murdering
Mutumbo. Suddenly, Miss Parker is distracted by Tommy's figure. He enters the
office, saying that he knows that she wants to tell him something. She tries to
speak, but she cannot do it. However, Thomas assures her that she'll be able, in
due time. Cox snaps his finger in front of Miss Parker's face,
"awakening" her. He says he will find Mr. Parker and, when he has done
that, those allied to him will consider themselves endangered species. Mr. Cox
leaves, leaving Lyle and Miss Parker alone. Lyle tells his sister that he was
accusing them of cooperating with their father and she could at least pretended
to pay attention. Then, she too leaves the office. Miss
Parker is talking with Sydney. She tells him that she's been seeing Thomas and
Sydney answers her that her visions of him could be caused by the stress she's
been living in. He also tells her that maybe he is giving her a second chance to
finish something. Miss Parker receives a call from her father. She asks him if
he killed Mutumbo, but Mr. Parker tells her that he wouldn't be missing his eyes
if he had been the one to kill him. Mr. Parker says that he only needs one more
piece. Then, everything would be like it was before and that the survivors would
be together again. Broots
and Sydney are in Miss Parker's office again. Broots says that one of his
friends (Manny, the mute) told him that the code is a phone tap, placed in
Thomas' phone, that was sent to "rumor". Broots plays a part of the
conversation for Miss Parker. Thomas and Jarod were friends! Miss
Parker arrives to her house. While staring at a photograph of hers with Tommy,
Miss Parker hears noises in her bathroom, more precisely, there's someone in the
shower. Pulling the curtain, Miss Parker finds Brigitte! All of a sudden, Mr.
Parker shows up and tells her that they used the key she gave him and entered
from the back. He also asks her the car. Brigitte says that Mr. Parker found a
safe place and also a doctor they can trust. When they're about to leave, Miss
Parker remembers to ask her father if he knows what "rumor 58259"
means. He says that he doesn't know, but Brigitte says that it is the code of
the operative in charge of the mission and a digital tap. The
next day, Jarod calls Miss Parker and they talk about Jarod being Thomas'
friends. She demands to know who killed him. Jarod, however, says that he
doesn't know and that he only wanted to see them happy. Miss Parker realizes
that Jarod knew Thomas before she did. Jarod assures her that the only thing
that he knows about Thomas' killer is that it is "rumor" and finishes
the call saying that rumors can kill her. Then, Miss Parker sees Thomas sitting
on the couch and he tells her to trust Jarod. In
the bathroom, Broots is laughing at some paper in the wall, that says "vote
for more hated: 1 flush Mr. Lyle 2 flushes Mr. Raines and 3 flushes Mr. Cox.
While Broots is reading it, two sweepers place themselves next to him and Cox
stays behind. When Broots turns around, he's frighten to death. Cox presses him
to say what he knows - what kind of rumors he's been hearing - and tries to make
him talk, placing his hand under the hand dryer, until Broots screams with pain.
In Miss Parker's office, Broots is putting his hand in ice and telling her that
Cox was only interested in Mr. Parker and not in "rumor". Miss Parker
and Sydney believe that Cox is the hit man hired to kill Mr. Parker, as well as
Brigitte and maybe the baby. Broots says that he reached the conclusion that the
identity of Thomas' killer is in a Z3 file (files used for hired assassins). Broots
takes Miss Parker home. After he offered himself to keep her company, Miss
Parker talks with him about how death affects people's lives. Miss Parker
notices a file, placed above the fireplace: the Z3 file. Miss Parker learns who
"rumor" is and leaves Broots alone in the house. Miss
Parker finds her car, but before she leaves the one she's using, she sees Thomas
that tells her to be careful. Reaching the now stopped car, Miss Parker orders
Brigitte to get out, but the only person inside is her father. Miss Parker wants
to know where Brigitte is and tells her father that she killed Thomas. Mr.
Parker claims to know nothing about that and his only concern is the baby. Mr.
Parker says that Brigitte used to talk about a cabin in the mountains and that
she left the key at The Centre. Miss Parker heads to her car again, but not
before a warning from her father - he doesn't want her to hurt Brigitte, because
of the baby. Miss Parker
goes to The Centre and finds Lyle, that warns her that this is not the best time
to be there and be named "Parker". He also tells her to be away from
Cox, because he'll be doing the same. Then, Miss Parker finds Broots. She asks
him to find the key in Brigitte's office and to call her when he's done that. While
she waits for Broots' call, Miss Parker receives one from Jarod. He tells her
that Thomas found love in her eyes. Miss Parker says that there's something she
never told Thomas and, somehow, she tells him that Brigitte was the killer.
Jarod didn't know that and assures her that he didn't leave any Z3 file at her
home. When they're done with the call, Broots shows up and brings the key of
Brigitte's cabin, as well as its address, with him. Miss Parker grabs her gun
and leaves Broots alone in her house again. Miss
Parker reaches the cabin and finds Brigitte already in labor. Miss Parker asks
her why she killed Tommy and Brigitte answers her that she was given orders.
However she doesn't say whose because she's having a contraction. Brigitte tells
Miss Parker that she doesn't have to kill her because she will die during the delivery.
Miss Parker tries to call for help, but the phone doesn't have a signal.
Brigitte explains that the line went dead after she told Mr. Parker to bring the
doctor. She says that she ran away to keep the hit man away from Mr. Parker and
that she loves him very much, despite everything Miss Parker may think. Meanwhile,
at The Centre, Broots is in the bathroom. After placing an "out of
order" sign on the hand dryer machine and checking if someone else is in
the bathroom with him, he washes his face. But when he tries to grab a towel,
it's Mr. Cox who gives it to him. Cox says that Manny, the mute spoke about him,
and then he silently tortures Broots. Brigitte
apologizes to Miss Parker for killing Thomas and tells her that the orders came
from the inside of The Centre, from someone that thought that Miss Parker was
losing focus. While Brigitte is having the baby, a helicopter arrives, but she
doesn't survive enough time. Mr. Cox comes in, with a can of gas and, when Miss
Parker sees him, she draws her gun and points it at him. But, Mr. Parker also
arrives and says that Doctor Cox is on their side and that he is there for the
baby. When Miss Parker hands the baby to her father, he says that the baby is
the last piece, while giving him to a nurse. Miss Parker asks her father if he
left her the Z3 file in her house, but he denies it. She also confronts him
about the fact that he's not showing any concern for the death of his wife, but
he tells her that Brigitte was betraying him. Then, Cox puts the gun that killed
Mutumbo in Brigitte's hand, so they can accuse her. Mr. Parker isn't interested
in knowing from what gender the baby is. The cabin explodes, while its recent occupants
watch from the helicopter, also leaving Brigitte's body behind. In
the cemetery, Miss Parker is near Thomas' grave again. Jarod calls her and she
confesses that she wouldn't find any peace even if she had taken revenge for
Thomas' death. Miss Parker also tells Jarod that she never told Thomas that she
loved him and that, now, she would give everything to tell him that. The scene
changes and Miss Parker is in a beautiful garden while Thomas approaches her.
They embrace and Miss Parker tells him that she loves him. He goes and Miss
Parker keeps walking in the garden, in peace with herself.
