I don't understand this show


They keep chasing Jarod, trying to 'recapture' him. By what right? Is he a convicted felon? Do they own him? Has he agreed to some term of indentured servitude? Is he a minor? If none of the above, what gives them the right to 'capture' him? I don't understand why he doesn't just blow them away. Maybe the "Centre" should just go back to treating sewage.

Their a secret clandestine organization that wants to exploit Jarrod's intelligence for their own personal goals.I don't really think they care about right or wrong.Also if they want to remain secret and clandestine then having Jarrod out there is a threat to them.

Think of jarrod as the A-Team rolled up into one. That sort of sums up the show.

They want him back because he knows where all the bodies are buried. They're also that if Jarod should decide to go the authorities and tell them what's been going on at The Centre, they know it won't end well for them.
