"Pilot" (also known as "Tales of the Red Thread"〔http://www.tvguide.com/tvshows/touch-2012/episode-1-season-1/tales-of-the-red-thread/319394〕) is the first episode of the first season of the American supernatural thriller drama television series ''Touch''. The episode premiered in the United States on Fox on January 25, 2012. The episode was written by series creator Tim Kring and directed by Francis Lawrence. The concept of ''Touch'' was devised by Kring, who developed the science fiction drama ''Heroes'' for the NBC network. In this episode, Martin Bohm (Kiefer Sutherland), a widower father, tries to communicate with and control his mute and emotionally challenged son Jake Bohm (David Mazouz), an autistic child that enjoys writing sequences of repeating numbers in a notebook. Martin must also contend with Clea Hopkins (Gugu Mbatha-Raw), a social worker from Child and Family Services sent to investigate Jake and his family situation. Everything changes when Martin discovers that Jake possesses the gift of staggering genius, while visiting researcher Arthur Teller (Danny Glover). Meanwhile, other various character subplots, scattered about the world, are unknowingly interconnected through a series of numbers and actions recognized by Jake. The episode debuted as a special preview to its official scheduled regularly aired time slot on March 22, 2012, with episodes recurring weekly. The preview brought in the second-biggest audience of any prime-time drama premiere during that season at 12.01 million viewers and a positive 3.9 in the 18-49 demographic. ==Plot== For the third time in three weeks, Jake Bohm (David Mazouz) has run away from school and climbed atop a cell phone tower, breaking the tower's security alarms at precisely 3:18 in the afternoon each time. For Child and Family Services, they, who have previously diagnosed Jake as autistic, see Jake's behavior as Martin Bohm (Kiefer Sutherland) not being able to handle Jake on his own, send Clea Hopkins (Gugu Mbatha-Raw) to investigate. To perform a proper assessment, she removes Jake from the home and places him in an institution for two weeks where she can monitor him. Martin not only finds that move contemptible, but also believes that Jake is trying to tell him something, especially as the numbers Jake is scribbling seem to pop up elsewhere in their lives, as Jake makes stray cell phones that Martin has found for him ring simultaneously, and after a lottery ticket Jake temporarily steals ends up being the multimillion dollar jackpot winning numbers. In his search to find out if Jake is just mute or if he has some other condition affecting his behavior, Martin finds Arthur DeWitt (Danny Glover) of the Teller Institute, who tells Martin his theory of Jake's condition. Clea begins to believe that their autism diagnosis is incorrect when she views Jake first hand. Meanwhile, one of those cell phones which almost made it into Jake's possession makes a 'round the world trip from London to Ireland, to John F. Kennedy airport, to Japan, and to Baghdad where it ends up making it full circle from its original owner, a distraught father, to a wannabe pop singer, then to a teen who wants to help his family by buying a commercial oven for their baking business. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Pilot (Touch)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
