- Jarod: Who am I? Did the Centre adopt me? Was I bought or was I stolen? And where are my mom and dad?
- Sydney: Jarod, we've been over this a thousand times. Your parents died in a plane crash.
- Jarod: Yes, I know the story, Sydney. It's been burned into my brain for thirty years. But, you see, I did a little checking. There's this genetic anomaly that's in my blood that should be in my supposed parents. But it's not. Therefore, it's impossible that I'm their son. So, the truth, for once.
- Jarod: Tell me who I am.
- Sydney: I don't know either. At the time, I had on reason to question what the Centre told me. I swear.
- Jarod: Then prove it. Give me tomorrow's code to the Centre's mainframe. The truth about who I am has to be in there.
- Sydney: You know I can't do that.
- Jarod: Sydney, you stole my life! Please give it back to me.
- Narrator: There are extraordinary individuals among us known as Pretenders. Geniuses with the ability to insinuate themselves into any walk of life, to literally become anyone. In 1963, a corporation called the Centre isolated one such Pretender, a young boy named Jarod. Locked in a controlled environment they exploited his genius for their "unofficial research. Then, one day, their Pretender ran away.
