Aiden goes to bed. He starts dreaming of Lena's death. A car is seen driving in a tunnel.

"Drive where ?"

"Anywhere"

"I don't want to go anywhere. I want to go to Pawnee"

"OK. You're the boss. We'll go to Pawnee"

Aiden is seen driving the car and Lena with her lamb. Two bikes, one ridden by Maurice, drive past a truck and arrive at Aiden's car. Aiden stares at the bikers. Lena briefly stares at Maurice.

Maurice pulls out a pistol and shoot Aiden's front tire. Aiden looses control of his car and it flips over, crashing into a pillar, Lena's lamb falling on the road.

The screen then fades to a view of Lena's grave. Aiden suddenly wakes up with the guys waking him, they noticed him struggling to sleep.

"Aiden! Aiden! Aiden wake up" wolf shouts, "you alright man"

"I'm sick of remembering her that way. It's never a dream of her tiny face pressing the window when she knows I was coming over. Or that wobbly little dance she did. It's always the same nightmare"

"It wasn't your fault you know that" wolf tries to comfort him.

"I should've done a better job protecting her"

"Don't be so hard on yourself look I know what you're going through"

"Except yours is adopted"

"That doesn't mean I won't do anything to keep her safe"

Aiden and the guys leave the room. Cameras then show several points of view of civilians around the motel.

"I need to get my mind off of things"

"lucky for us, this city's full of distractions" wolf says.

"...and they can't hide from me"

They roams around the motel, webs hacking into people's information, and eventually finds someone telling through SMS that he is going to kill a woman.

"Hey Aiden you might wanna see this"

"Dude, what's the matter ?"

"She ruined me ! She won't get away with it"

"Don't get crazy. Calm down"

"Screw that ! I'm going over there now"

"That guy's out of control. I won't let him hurt anyone today. A simple trace of his call and he's mine"

Using the Crime Prediction System, Aiden finds the area. He goes there. A woman is seen on the phone near an alleyway.

"Alright, he's here somewhere. Just move carefully, don't get spotted. Let the Profiler do the work"

Aiden profiles the woman, indicated as potential victim.

"She must be the woman he's after. This guy's close. I can feel it"

"I be careful Aiden we don't know what we're dealing with"

The woman walks in an alleyway. She is ambushed by a man.

"Hey, we need to talk"

"There's nothing to talk about. We're done, deal with it!"

"You're so fucking wrong. I'm not done yet"

"I gotta stop him now"

Aiden intervene. Upon seeing him, the criminal runs. Aiden catches up to him.

"Aiden slow down" wolf shouts.

and use his baton to take him down. After that, he receives a call.

"Nicky, hey I know, I know. The party's started"

"It's almost over. Where are you ?"

"I'm on my way"

"Ugh, you make me crazy. Jackson's really looking forward to it. Get over there. We miss you"

"I'll miss you too. I'll be there. Sorry Nicky, I need to take this, I'll see you soon" Aiden takes the other call.

"Good. You got out. Look, if you need some wheels, give me a call. I'll set you up"

"Pre-owned cars ?"

"You'd rather register yourself at a car dealer ? I don't ask questions, this guy gets me any ride I want. And you, if you need it..."

"I just might. How's Maurice doing ?"

"Oh, he's all sunshine and buttercups. I'm going to dump him at my little dumping-place"

"I need him alive, Jordi"

"Yeah, yeah, alive. Whatever"

"Goes against your better nature, huh ?"

"I'd pop him and be done, but hey : you pay me, right ? I'll keep him alive as long as you want. I do work for a pay check"
