Or tries to, anyway. There's a lot to process here. If they sped up Jack's growth over the course of three years, they must have gotten a hold of him when he was very young.

Why would they need to bring him back, though? It looks as if the only person who might have benefited would have been Fontaine, but he's supposed to have been long dead. Unless...
"How long was Jack away before Fontaine brought him back?"
