Re: Did Jared ever tell Kate about the murders?
Why keep Jared alive if he was so volatile. Why was he even still valuable to them at this point when they realised how psychotic he was (he wasn't a psychopath I just like using this word to express just the disaster this was).
I agree there must be controversy, but I don't mind them wanting to try again. I do mind them using Kate for Jared and Paige....
The first generation illegals are so meticulously trained and so pinpoint perfect, and they're really willing to risk it all without taking time to workshop the ideas or collaborate - yeah there must definitely be some internal argy-bargy going on in those Directorate S offices
Re: Did Jared ever tell Kate about the murders?
That's three unsilenced shots. Where did Jared stash the gun that Philip didn't find it? Anyone experienced with firearms would probably have known how to check if one has been fired recently, which would have raised Philip's suspicions almost immediately.
I still wonder if an experienced assassin didn't happen to be there that day, telling Emmett and Leanne that the KGB would take his son, and they had no say in the matter, and when they refused to accede, blam, blam, blam - and then Jared, wearing his game face, went to the pool.
