The police believe he's the culprit, Companion company executives want him returned for reprogramming to prevent a PR nightmare, but Jacob only wishes to bring Sylvia's killer to justice. Which he is going to have to do on his own.
So now Jacob is on the run.

Serve and protect humanity, at all costs.
Without losing his own.
