Aidan 5 (2009) s01e02 Episode Script
Infinity
How does it make you feel? All alone.
Aidan 5- 1x02 Infinity I guess that's the difference between us I don't feel anything at all.
Do these things even have souls? Are they creating future conflicts within the laws of nature? We don't know.
What we do know is that our population growth is out of control.
Our energy resources are near depletion and we are suffering from an economic collapse due to an unregulated boom in industrialization.
Make no mistake, my friends cloning should be and must be abolished.
Mr.
Achen, how do you respond? That varying is interesting, my worthy opponent clones himself to create me and my brothers to help him with his first Senate campaign some eight years ago, and now he wishes to abolish cloning.
Or more to the point to abolish clones.
What he is doing in fact is skirting around the social inequalities that plague the cloning community at large and I fear, I fear, my friends the horrible injustices the inhumanity that would befall us under his administration.
It's not even 8 am and the painkiller are already starting to wear off Sentimentality ain't my style.
Besides I'm the only one who knows how this guy thinks.
They say the truth hurts.
But let me tell you A bullet wound at 8am ain't no bed of roses either.
Shouldn't you be resting? Why? Did you solve the case? Here we go I'm not gonna pretend like I understand exactly what you're going through right now.
But this is a departmental loss and the department is gonna deal with it.
Damn it! You're a target out there right now! I appreciate the sentiment but I just can't just sit around here anymore waiting and wondering about my surrogate.
Besides I'd rather be a moving target.
You want to stop him? Welcome back.
Matthew Aidan.
I repeat my clone's name in my mind why would he try to kill me? I spent the last month analyzing every look, dissecting every conversation we've had searching for clues He's had a month head start.
More than enough time to cover his tracks.
So we'll start where Matthews is born.
At Infinity.

- May I help you? - We're here to see Mr.
Hughes.
I'm sorry Mr.
Hughes is unavailable.
I'm Charles Mabon, Vice President of Operations.
Is there something I can help you with? I'm detective James Aidan.
This is detective Riley.
We would like to ask you some questions.
I see Janice, clear my schedule for the next 15 minutes.
This way.
It's funny isn't it? The world thought cloning was the answer to all of our problems.
Some times I think it made them worse.
I haven't heard that in any of your commercials.
I guess not.
We have marketing people for that.
I simply mean that a clone is not a perfect being or a benign asset to our developing civilization.
They're people.
Just like you and me.
Same emotions, same vices same dreams.
Equal protection under the law, all men are created equal.
or women, respectively.
So your not responsible for the product you put out there? No more so than the doctor that delivered you at your birth.
One of our lead detectives is suspected of murdering three of his surrogates, and attempted to take out his original.
I'm sorry for your loss Detective, I really am.
But every time a clone commits a criminal act, I get asked the same question: what did we got wrong in the batter.
I'll give you the same answer I give everyone else.
Yeah, and what's that? Human nature.
Just the same, Mr.
Mabon, if you don't mind, we'd like you to turn over the creation history of his clones.
Yes.
I do mind.
The private medical records of every individual are protected under the law.
You already know this, detective.
Come on Riley We'll get a warrant.
Yes you will.
Hello? Yes I'll just need thirty minutes Understood.
No! No! Aidan, I told you, we have her statement on file back at the office.
We already went through this last month.
Oh, my god, Oliver I'm sorry.
I need to ask you a few things.
No! - Don't don't! - It's for Oliver sake.
Don't you talk to me about my husband, James Aidan! He was treated as a second-class citizen, don't you dare try to pretend it is any different now that he's dead.
He served his purpose.
He took a bullet for you.
I loved that man I don't want to see your face ever again.
Get out! Go! What were you hoping to find? An answer.
Detective Randall and his team were here the day after you were shot.
Two leads two dead ends.
On a hunch I decided to visit Matthew's apartment.
Lights.
Maybe today it won't be a total bust.
Come on James, forensics did their sweep here a month ago.
They were all over the apartment.
They didn't find anything.
They didn't find this.
