    The Cursed Pipe

    By the end of an inventor's seminar, Ray Dallion offers to assist the inventor Keith Fielding to promote his invention. He convinces Keith to show the design of his weapon capable to fire a small missile at a long distance. Ray lights a pipe and Keith is attacked by an orange smoke and vanishes. Ray takes the credit for the invention and impresses Buck Clemens, the owner of a weapons company. Ray proposes to marry his wife Connie and moves from his cheap apartment to a nice house. A couple of days later, Ryan receives an invitation for the wedding of his father Ray and Micki goes with him. When they arrive at Ray's address, he is surprised by the presence of his estranged son, and they learn that Connie has invited Ryan. Now Ray has to demonstrate the weapon to investors and feels stressed when his co-worker John York tells him that he knows that Ray has stolen the design from Keith Fielding.

    "Pipe Dream" is an episode of "Friday the 13th: The Series" where Ryan's father is shown to the viewers. The man is a scum and a fraud, explaining why Ryan gets estranged to him; His final act does not provide redemption since he killed at least two persons with his ambition, and jeopardizes Jack, Miki and Ryan's lives. My vote is seven.

    Title (Brazil): "O Sonho" ("The Dream")

    • Trivia
      Michael Constantine, who plays Ryan's dad, appeared (many years before) as a guest-star in the TV series "The Dakotas". His character's name was John Marshak. Here in "F13 the Series" he engages in hand-to-hand combat (stunt doubles) with JACK Marshak.
    • Goofs
      It had been previously established that Lewis did not leave a will so Ryan and Micki were named his heirs as his closest relatives. Since Ryan's father is shown here alive and Ryan mentions that Micki's mother "cousin Catherine" is still alive, they would have been in line first without a will.
    • Quotes

      Jack Marshak: Ryan, it's such a hard thing when a man reaches the upper limits of his life. There's no room to maneuver. I mean, the future, it is no longer a landscape of possibilities. It's a narrow ledge over a long dark drop. And that's a hard thing for a proud man. It's a hard thing for anybody.
