Aidan 5 (2009) s01e11 Episode Script
Inquisition
Hey sweetie? You look tired.
I can't sleep.
I'm exhausted but I can't sleep.
It's alright.
You're safe here.
You're safe here.
Easy.
Don't go out on me yet.
Takes a lot of guts to come down here alone.
What, detective Riley couldn't make it? I know more about you than you think, James.
And that's why you transferred? Wow Well, it sounds like you made the right decision.
I'm surprised you put up with that kind of abuse as long as you did.
Oh, no, it was never like that.
But he never let me in.
You have to trust your partner has your back, or you could get killed.
You can trust me.
I think we're ready to talk.
What do you want with me? Just the truth James.
You play it straight with me and this all will be over before you know it.
Then let's get on with it.
I've got laundry to do.
Why is Infinity trying to kill you? I don't know who's trying to kill me.
Oh, come on James, you're smarter than that.
You think an untraceable killer with no DNA is a random act of nature? That's funny.
The bullet hole four centimeters from my primary artery remembers you pulling the trigger.
Because they hired me to do it.
They offered me a one-way ticket and enough money to forget about asking any questions.
But then when I came in to collect They double crossed you.
They tried to kill you.
It's the disk you took from Hicks.
It's an Infinity database with all creation log histories.
We're not on it.
There is, however an encrypted directory about a Deficiency Syndrome.
It wasn't easy to crack.
Look Matthew I have no idea Don't lie to me.
Look, I don't know what you're talking about! What did you do to them? What did you do to us? They're offering me the detective position.
I just have to go through the final entry interview and fill out the paperwork, but the insurance would kick in immediately.
What'd they say about the prerequisite? I'd still have to do it.
When do we have to leave? Next week.
I have a motel set up for now until we can find an apartment.
I love you.
I take it Detective Aidan's political views aren't exactly sympathetic to our cause? Well, he doesn't think much of your guy, anyway.
Neither would I if I believed the spin these "experts" keep blurting out to the media.
Oh, it's all the media, is it? Well, in many cases yes.
Look, Kendrick doesn't want to hurt clones or trample on clone civil rights he's merely making a practical observation that it's gonna be tough to sustain the creation of new citizens when ordinary people can't find work.
Well he seems to have struck a chord with many ordinary voters.
What about you? I'm still undecided.
We weren't in the creation logs.
I cross-referenced the file with thousands of others.
It wasn't deleted, we were never there to begin with.
Where did you have us cloned? Infinity Corp.
Stop lying to me! I can't do this anymore, James, I just can't! You can't do what? I can't find my yellow blouse, I know I packed it yesterday, and now it's gone! Calm down, Lauren.
This is supposed to better our lives not end them! Look, I sign the paperwork tomorrow, then we can go get your prescription refilled.
Don't talk to me like I'm crazy! I know what you're doing and I'm not crazy! Lauren, what else do you want me to do? I've done everything I can! This is it! We can't afford another month without the insurance, and I can't afford it.
Oh, my god, Lauren I'm sorry! Lauren? So, what's the big secret? Well believe it or not, when I was a cadet I had the record for most criminals caught from behind a desk.
Wow! And to complete the academy in less than two years, that's quite an accomplishment.
Thank you, thank you.
Your parents must be very proud.
Roger, I don't have any parents.
I'm a clone.
Oh Oh It's okay we don't bite or anything.
Well I mean, you just I couldn't tell, I mean, you don't you didn't seem like it.
I just figured something like this would come up earlier, I mean Especially given what our position on family ordinance is I just figured Oh, my god! Are you working for Jason's campaign? Did he put you up to this? No, I don't even know who Jason is! Because this would look real great in the morning newsblogs, - wouldn't it? - I have no idea what you're talking about.
Do you have any idea what the press would do to Kendrick if they got a hold of this? You're not to talk about this to anyone! I can't believe I was this stupid! "Kendrick's chief political advisor caught screwing a carbon copy.
" Real nice.
Did you find out about the Deficiency Syndrome? Is that why they're after us? Where did you have us cloned? Answer me! Lauren? Why won't you answer me? Lauren.
It's okay, James.
You're safe here.
I'm so sorry.
Do you remember when my father would hit me? We were nine years old and you would take my hand and we would run away to the lake and the cabin.
You said that we would live here forever and that he would never be able to hurt me again.
Even then you were trying to protect me.
You always protected me.
Not from everything.
I know I love you.
Lauren why did you leave me? Oh James You left me.
Aidan! Aidan! It's okay it's me! You're safe here.
You're safe now.
I can't sleep.
