A Drop in Quality

This is a bundle of questionable plot elements. For one thing, why even release Jack? He should have been killed. Why get the kid? There is something stagnant and cautious here, like they needed to kill one hour until the next one came along. The whole thing with the boy, who obviously has nothing for them, is cruel and pointless. And then what is that phony pilot up to?
