Aidan 5 (2009) s01e16 Episode Script
Revelations
So you found me.
I don't know why I'm surprised.
What the hell is going on here? Matthew You didn't expect to find me here interesting.
As for the two of you I had no idea you even existed until a few months ago when they started plastering your faces my face all over the news.
And I thought I was done with this all so long ago.
I don't understand any of this where's my family? They were never really yours, James.
I lost my wife and my son thirty years ago.
Murdered by the same man who now is trying to kill you.
- No - Think about it, James.
You only have four clones.
- One of them died - That's what you were told.
- He had a brain aneurism - No one ever saw that body.
Matthew was the deficiency No, James.
You are the fifth clone deficiency.
You are Aidan 5.
Sir, our infrared tracking has him.
Remarkable.
Radio our nearest unit.
No that can't be I was born August 24th 2025.
A fabricated date from your Incept protocol.
My parents were Robert and Maggie.
I married Lauren Parker and we had a son - My son - David Taylor Aidan, he was born on - on January 14th - What date? 20 In time your memories will erase the Incept protocol.
Or rather my memories.
But you'll need to work on it.
They're dead? Long ago.
Lauren and David They were never really mine? Lauren? Someone put me in that motel room.
Why did Infinity want you dead? I discovered their deficiency cover-up among other things.
If the truth went public it would have bankrupted Infinity.
So they came after me.
I managed to escape but not before they killed Lauren and David.
They hunted me relentlessly.
Weeks, months there's no limit to Hughes' resolve.
And then you came here.
Yes, they never found me.
As far as they were concerned, I was out of their way for good.
Until you showed up.
For the past thirty years I've mourned the loss of my family while hiding in exile.
A man has to live a disciplined life to cut himself off from the outside world.
Each night I'd go to bed, resigned to my fate.
Each night I'd closed my eyes and see their faces in the hope that someday soon I could join them on the other side.
But when I saw you on the news I saw how desperately Infinity was trying to kill you.
I wondered if fate, in some small way was finally bringing me justice.
Target in range, minus two minutes, mark.
Three-zero kilometers.
You said you discovered the deficiency cover up among other things.
Hughes had encrypted financial transactions he was keeping secret from his shareholders.
They were disappearing into offshore accounts we couldn't get access to them.
Wait a minute wait a minute.
Something doesn't make sense.
If I didn't exist until three years ago then someone's gone to an awful lot of trouble to make me believe that I'm you.
Target acquired LRM firing now.
Someone who thinks you're still alive.
There's no one, I've been completely isolated.
You can't make it thirty years without coming into contact with someone.
A mailman, electrician think dammit! I don't know! She always said he had my eyes.
What the hell? I'm sorry James but there's no way out for me now.
Nowhere left for me to turn.
What? He didn't have the answers.
And we're out of time.
There's only one way forward now.
You're insane.
I survive.
