Aidan!
It's okay, it's me.
You're at my place, you are safe here.
How did I get here?
You were thrown out the back of a van.
You messaged me to meet you, don't you remember?
It was Matthew.
Matthew?
- He did this to you! - Yeah.
He got me, Riley
but he didn't kill me.
He just kept going on and on about how we weren't in Infinity creation logs
and he wanted to know where I had him cloned.
That doesn't make any sense.
Yeah
He said Infinity
hired him to kill me and my clones, and then
they came after him.
He wanted to know what I did to ***'em off.
All departmental cloning goes through Infinity.
Anything else would be illegal.
Yeah.
If this is true
what Matthew says
it means they have to have had my DNA samples cloned somewhere else.
Why would Infinity need to keep you out of their records?
I don't know
Matthew said something about
a deficiency syndrome.
You should take this to the lieutenant.
Frank's not gonna buy this.
Not without any evidence.
Besides after the mess I've caused the past couple of months
I'm lucky I'm not on suspension already.
We need to find the illegal cloning stations.
If I can talk to them, maybe I can figure out who created my clones and why.
- You don't have to - Of course I'm going with you.
Someone has to watch your back.
I've been a real *** lately.
Yes, you have.
Thanks for taking care of me.
Let's get you cleaned up.
Hey, how was your
date with? What's his name?
Let's just say for now I'll be voting for the other guy.
Gaining access to the criminal underground is never an easy task.
But if you know where to look
it simply becomes a matter of persuasion.
Come on, Turk, I should be on guard duty.
- Prometheus is gonna - Prometheus is a senile fool, okay?
Don't worry about him.
- Yeah, but Shane - Is a wimp.
And you can tell him I said that, too.
Evening, Virgil.
How's the nose?
Detective Aidan, long time no see!
I told you never to call me that around here, I'm Turk, okay?
What brings you by the old neighborhood, detective?
Those parking tickets I forgot to pay again?
Listen Turk, I need a favor.
Yeah, in a minute.
Bartender, some drinks for my friends over here.
What are you drinking, detective? Maybe something special for the lady? Come on!
Look, now it's not a really good time.
Maybe I can come by your office tomorrow
Son
- Son of a ***! - I don't have time for this, Turk.
I know you're running illegals out of this area
and I need to talk to somebody in the underground cloning station now.
Cloning station?
Are you crazy? I can't take you there, they'll kill me.
If you don't take me there, I'll kill you.
I'm not arresting anyone.
I need answers.
No, I can't I
What's in it for me?
I won't dislocate your shoulder.
What? What the hell kind of deal is that?
Alright! Okay, okay!
As we descended in the bowel of the city
I could sense a tangible chasm growing between us and the world above.
We were off the edges of the map now
and down here no one was coming to the rescue.
Turk, what are you doing here?
Somebody needs a tour.
- Turk, you stupid son of a - Shane, please
Please, just open the door.
Shane, he threatened me at gunpoint, I had no choice, I swear!
- What he wants? - We came to talk.
You better have more back-up than the chick, pal.
Yeah, and you better watch your mouth.
Shane, what the hell is going on over there?
I'm looking for some answers to a few questions.
How did you find us down here?
They were led by someone I can assure you
won't bother us again.
There's no need to get jumpy people.
No one is in trouble here.
Just answer my questions and we'll all just leave the same way we came in
quietly.
What do you want?
Take a good look.
Have you seen me before?
You look vaguely familiar
but, no, I don't remember you.
Are you absolutely sure?
Do you know how many shops there are around like this?
We just moved in here six months ago.
Try another sucker.
Have you ever heard of any other "shops"
doing business under the table with Infinity Corporation?
Boy you really are 7 kinds of stupid.
Why on Earth would they do that?
They have much better equipment than we do
they have more money then God himself.
Trust me
I know, I used to work for 'em.
Can you tell me why someone would go to the trouble to clone a DNA sequence here
instead of at Infinity Corporation?
There are all kinds of reasons for operating outside of the system.
Hell, it's why we exist here in the first place.
Now, are we done here?
Just one more question.
Have you ever heard of something called the Deficiency Syndrome?
Where did you hear about that?
I hear things.
What of it?
It's Infinity's dirty little secret.
The one they spent billions to cover up.
We called it the Fifth Clone Deficiency.
About 30 years ago they discovered an "anomalous" genetic flaw
located only
in the fifth clone of a specific DNA sequence.
And what was the anomaly?
Ah, the greatest flawed gene of all.
Memory.
For decades scientists have been theorizing
that human memories could be passed down through genetic coding.
Hughes' just happened to be the one who stumbled on it.
So what you're saying is that
that the fifth clone
carries the memories
Of the original.
Yes.
That's that's impossible!
That would mean that Matthew
Matthew.
I know more about you than you think, James.
Matthew was my fifth clone
They discovered the deficiency 30 years ago.
Of course by then
they'd already pumped half a million clones into the population.
My god
So they kept it quiet
silenced the whistle blowers, and initiated a massive recall
cleverly disguised as a routine âcheck-upâ.
They inserted a genetic inhibitor which suppressed the
fifth-clone gene
and went on with business as usual.
All except those that were cloned illegally.
Like I said
they have better equipment than we do.
Not that we don't have some impressive cocktails of our own
but they cost extra.
Riley!
