Aidan 5 (2009) s01e08 Episode Script
Down The Rabbit Hole (Part 1)
That's the third time this week I've had the same dream.
None of this makes any sense anymore.
The truth keeps retreating into the shadows leaving with more unanswered questions.
And I've got a feeling that I'm running out of time.
A week after crashing a hovercopter into Broad street, the kid's already back at work.
Hey.
I thought you were taking a few weeks off.
I'm only working half days.
So, how do you feel? Better.
I heard Infinity filed an injunction.
Well, when you have enough judges on the payroll, you can overturn anything.
Did it all go back? Everything except what Matthew took from Hicks.
You thinking he couldn't wait? Aidan, Riley, in my office now! Infinity corp.
has flooded the Mayor's office with a stack of lawsuits.
Homeland Security's been on my ass ever since the assassination, and my lead detective has provided their sketch artist, with this! That's what he looks like.
So as soon as the two of you bring me the evidence that I need so that I can wrap all of these things up in a little ball new Hicks over here she's gonna help you sort it out.
Actually it's Rachel.
The FBI just sent me their e-data on the sniper rifle, take new Hicks here and get her up to speed.
I'm real happy to be here.
I was surprised to get the job actually, it usually goes to one of the surrogates.
I guess I'll have my own pretty soon.
Part of the job.
I'm gonna need you to sort through this e-data and boil it all down into something I can understand.
You can get more from a gun than just ballistics.
It says here that the DNA found on the rifle was incomplete.
Incomplete or inconclusive? It says incomplete.
I'm on it.
Get me the rest as soon as you can.
No, Hicks was he was one of a kind.
So what are you gonna do? I thought you were only working half days.
I think this is a bad idea Aidan after all that's happened.
Someone's baiting you.
If that's the case, I don't know by who.
And if there's even a chance Do you honestly think that your wife and son will be waiting for you at the airport? At least take some back-up with you.
Look this is my business and I have to do it alone.
- Hallo? - Hallo Morgan? It's Roger.
I hope I'm not catching you at a bad time.
Roger, hi no No, not at all.
Good, I was hoping you'd be free for dinner tomorrow night.
Tomorrow? Sure.
I mean - Yes.
- Do you like Italian? I was thinking about Fratello's on the upper east side.
I'll make a reservation for 7:30.
As I pass the strangers in the terminal, I can't help but think how lucky they are they all seem to know where they're going.
Hey buddy, need a paper? Special edition just for you.
No charge, mate.
Hey! - Yeah? - Where's the guy that was just here? What guy? Subject is on the move.
He's heading toward security.
He's entering security.
Permission to intercept.
I've lost him.
Wait a minute.
His partner has just entered the concourse.
Stand by.
Ticket, please.
Thank you, Mr.
Aidan, you may board now.
There are times in an investigation where the evidence follows logic, all the clues fall together, and the case turns out just the way it seemed.
And then there are times where the only way forward is to go deeper down the rabbit hole.
