Plot Summary
Act One
The episode begins with images of Hadji Singh's first memories, recalled through the help of Questworld and Dr. Quest's VR Memory Probe in the lighthouse. As Jonny watches, Hadji views his mother and father for the first time. The scene soon changes to Hadji's running through the palace as a young boy to escape someone. The pursuer turns out to be Pasha Peddler, who calms young Hadji before raising a knife and plunging it towards him. Hadji leaves Questworld screaming, which alerts Race Bannon and Jessie. She reveals that Benton has not yet perfected the probe, and suggets Hadji call Pasha to learn more about the incident. An attempt to do so ends in failure when a scarred man tells Hadji to "come and get [Pasha]" before ripping the phone from the wall at his shop. Concerned, the gang take the Dragonfly Jet to Calcutta, where they find his shop closed on a busy market day. Inside, the shop has been ransacked, though no money has been taken. As the team search for clues, four thugs burst in, the leader commanding the others to seize Hadji. Race smashes one before being knocked out himself, and despite Jonny and Jessie's efforts, Hadji is wrangled.
Act Two
Race regains his composure and leaps into action. Before a showdown can occur, the police rush in as the thugs flee. A man fingers Race as the perpetrator, noting that his credit card allowed entry. The others plea otherwise, and after checking his passport, the Calcutta police commander decides that he is genuine.
