Plot[]

Jake and Amelia are taken to a ship and are greeted by Farington. At the hospital, Martin wakes to discover Jake and Amelia were not in the car with him when the paramedics arrived. He and Trevor find a pair of gloves in his wrecked car and take them to the police, where they by using Jake's latest number "318" identify one of them as Joseph Tanner (D. B. Sweeney). At that time, a judge revokes Martin's bail, but Lange lets him go free. Elsewhere, Avram finds himself held captive by a rabbi (Ron Rifkin) of his sect, for meddling with the 36. The rabbi explains that transpiring events will either result in the end of the world or the sequence being made public.

He also shows Avram the completed sequence. On the ship, Dr. Linus (Leland Orser) prepares to induce comas on both Jake and Amelia when they attempt escape, with Calvin's help, but all are caught. Trevor and Martin discover Tanner's recorded conversations with Farington, including one in which Farington orders the hit on Lucy. He is tortured and reveals the children's location. The tests, which complete the sequence, are begun on the children. Amelia convulses. In her alternate reality, she tells Jake that she is "losing her ability" and that she must leave, which Jake interprets that she is dead. Martin arrives at the ship, shoots Dr. Linus in the leg, and revives Jake.

Calvin rescues Amelia, who is nearly dead. Farington attempts to call security, but Martin tells her to turn on the news. All of her illicit activities have been broadcast worldwide, including her conversation commanding Lucy to be killed. Federal agents and the police arrive to arrest everyone responsible. Calvin discovers his brother is dead at the hospital and is subsequently arrested by Lange.

Avram admits to the rabbi that he was wrong to meddle, and is allowed to go free. The rabbi is seen marking Amelia's name out of a book which lists the 36, knowing her ability is gone. Martin's life must now resume. He tells Amelia that he will do all he can to find her father, but for now she is part of their family. Before departing, Avram gives Martin the amulet Guillermo used and says that, until Jake is old enough, Martin is the protector of the 36.

Quotes[]

Jake's Closing: There are infinite ways to communicate. Some, better than others. Signals, signs, patterns, mathematical indesign, all around us. You just have to know how to see them. How we read these subtle cues determines the course of our lives. Language is considered the ultimate form of communication, designed to optimize our connection to each other. Today, the average person will say 2,520 words, to 7.4 other individuals. Yet, change the language, one border to the next, and we are hopeless. Stumbling to explain the simplest of concepts. "I want", "I am", "I love."
-Jake

Jake's Closing 2: My name is Jake. I was born on October 26, 2000. I've been alive for 11 years, 9 months, and 12 days. And in all that time, I've only said a few words. But I'm getting the hang of it now. And there's a lot more I have to say.
-Jake

Martin: Dearest Jake: I want you to know that if I could, I would always be there with you. I love you so much. I always want you to know how brave and special you are. A thousand kisses, Mommy.
