1"Pilot"Francis LawrenceTim KringJanuary 25, 2012 (2012-01-25)1ATG7912.01[6]
In the pilot episode, Martin Bohm (Kiefer Sutherland) is a single dad with a special needs son, Jake (David Mazouz). He soon is forced to have Jake institutionalized, and then works with a social worker named Clea (Gugu Mbatha-Raw) and a professor specializing in gifted humans (Danny Glover) to figure out what his mute son is trying to tell everyone through the use of numbers, specifically in this episode, the number 318.
2"1+1=3"Ian ToyntonTim KringMarch 22, 2012 (2012-03-22)1ATG0111.81[7]
Clea continues to force Martin to return Jake to the board-and-care home, which he does despite his new-found communication with Jake. However, Jake gives his father the number 5296, which leads Martin to a pawn shop owner named Arnie (Jude Ciccolella). Moments later a robber comes in and shoots Arnie, and although Arnie survives he does not look pleased that he did. Jake escapes the institution to help Martin piece things together; at the same time a flight attendant (Amy Sloan) helps a young Indian man carry his father's ashes to the New York Stadium; a Russian boy realizes that the reason he may have no friends is because his father hurts people; Arnie attempts to commit suicide as he is suffering from terminal cancer and fears that he has no one to love him. In the end, the Russian boy's father was the employer of the robber of the pawn shop, who gives him a second chance in life. The flight attendant was Arnie's daughter, who arrives abruptly (chasing the Russian boy's dog who Martin accidentally let loose in the airport) and agrees to stand by him. The young Indian man finds an entrance to the stadium that the robber left open after he went back to settle his own issues, and spreads his father's ashes in the center of the field in hopes of finally making his father proud.
