A woman asks Teddy (David Eigenberg) what’s wrong and he replies he’s not safe there with them, they’ll sense the heat. He looks out of his apartment window and disappears.
35 Hours Missing
Teddy Cota, 37 works in X-ray at St Andrews; disappeared 2 days ago. Jack (Anthony Lapaglia) tells Sam (Poppy Montgomery) Teddy liked his apartment warm. He has x-rays on the wall and a necklace of a star. The star is the Constellation of Pleiades. The 7 sisters. It’s 4,000 light years away.
36 Hours Missing
Danny (Enrique Murciano) interviews Thompkeller (Navi Rawat). She’s a prostitute and he tells her she won’t be needing her lawyer’s number today. She’s Teddy’s friend. She heard a noise in the hall and Teddy let a man in. Viv (Marianne Jean Baptiste) believes her. Teddy has a girlfriend., Sonya. Jack is served with divorce papers.
37 Hours Missing
Sonya knew they were looking for them. Jack took his daughters to the zoo last weekend in Chicago. Sonya says Teddy knew of her pregnancy. They’d been together 4 years and he has a private side. Sam asks about aliens. He thought he’d been abducted and experimented on. He spent time at the Clear Skies society, a support group.
A doctor tells Martin (Eric Close) all the x-rays are of Teddy’s head. He has an object in his head which could be a tumour. He needed more tests and wanted it removed. If there was pressure on the brain then it could cause erratic behaviour.
Jack receives a warning from Maria’s lawyer. He has 30 days to sign the papers. Jack says he needed a process server for this. She’s trying to intimidate him and he needs to sign. She’s bringing third parties to testify against him: Danny, Viv, Sam and Martin and Dr Lisa Harris. She’ll use his affair to make him out to be an unfit parent. His lawyer tells him she’s been taking notes: when he came home late, missed dinner etc.
38 Hours Missing
Sam and Martin visit the group. Duncan (TJ Thyne) tells them Teddy’ been here for the last 3 months. He tells them about the Men in Black because he and Teddy were followed by them into an alley.
39 Hours Missing
The oldest x-ray was taken 15 years ago. Martin says Teddy thinks the object in his head is an alien implant. Martin’s done reading on the subject of conspiracies etc. Martin thinks the Men in Black was a scam.
Viv has tracked down his cousin, Leo Cota (Raphael Sbarge) she asks if she should check him out.
40 hours Missing
Martin says he became an x-ray tech to keep track of his head.
EAST RUTHERFORD NEW JERSEY
Leo says Teddy read sci-fi comics and watched movies. He made the stories up from that. Teddy thought someone at the hospital hurt a boy there because of Teddy. Leo told him to report it. Danny and Jack talk to Kevin Burke. He thinks aliens hurt him. Teddy helped him remember what happened to him.
43 Hours Missing
The Prostitute identifies Kevin’s (Nathan Norton) father as the man who fought with Teddy, Pat Burke (Joseph Hodge). He threatened him and told him to stay away from Kevin. Jack says he’s abusing his son.
The accident occurred at Highway 22, Pennsylvania. Teddy didn’t suffer any injuries. In October 13 1978, Teddy was shot. A bullet fragment was removed from his head and scar tissue was left. Leo knew. He shot his uncle to protect Teddy from him.
45 Hours Missing
He used to abuse him and then started on Teddy. Viv and Jack argue in the car. She tells him he should be in Chicago with his children. He replies his personal life is none of her business. Then he shouldn’t bring it in to work with him..
Danny brings Teddy out of the old office but he runs back in. Jack tells him he hasn’t been taken yet, he loses his temper and tells Teddy he was raped by his uncle. Danny is uncomfortable with Jack’s actions and tries to stop him from telling Teddy what happened to him.
Sam watches Jack. Viv’s okay. Sam tells Martin she hasn’t seen his apartment yet so she’ll drop by later.
Jack: “Danny’s tracking her down on the job.” Danny removes his jacket to question her which he doesn’t normally do. Viv and Jack didn’t argue half as much as they needed to just to clear the air and possibly give them a new start. Viv defending Sam – she knew what she was getting into with Jack or was he going back to Maria just as a token gesture after all?
Those looks Danny and Jack passed between each other showing Danny was thoroughly disgusted with Jack’s behaviour for going too far. Sam asking Jack not to make fun of her, re Pleiades. See season 2 episode about the kidnapped self-help motivator and she said she’d read his books and commenting on Danny watching the DVDs part was substituted for aliens in this episode.
As Enrique was in an episode of Star Trek Enterprise reference could’ve been made to this in passing. But it would’ve been good to hear all their views on Martin and his knowledge of conspiracy theories and aliens for a fuller picture on their thoughts.
Sam: “Hello Sci-Fi channel.”
Sam: “Promise you won’t mock.”
Jack: “Can’t make that promise but give it a shot.” They then get together and mock Martin. Sam appears to be into astronomy.
Jack :”I can’t believe she’d resort to this…she doesn’t operate this way.” But Maria does and we saw it coming ages ago; the looks she gave when she saw him and Sam together in season 1. If looks could kill.
Sam: “The movie?”
Martin: “you mean the Government-alien conspiracy…pact between the grey aliens and a secret rebel faction of the government intent on destroying the human race.”
Sam: “Really.”
Martin: “Yes.” Now the icing on the cake would’ve been if he mentioned Majestic 12. Using his knowledge from the series Dark Skies to spoof himself.
Duncan: “You’re like the real Mulder and Scully.”
Martin: “yeah, that’s us.” Yeah also in a fictional sort of way.
You’d be forgiven for thinking you’ve tuned into a conversation between Mulder and Scully circa 2004. Martin sounding like Mulder there and Scully had an implant. They must’ve resisted Jack from saying “trust no one.”
Dr Bedford mentions November 1975: 6 men see Travis Bolton get struck by a bolt of green light from an object in Arizona skies. November 1939: 3 men including a witness Linda Cortillo transported through her window in New York apartment. The examples date back to the Incas, Greeks, Myans and are not all myths. All Mulder territory here. Spooky!. I mentioned Linda Cortillo’s abduction in my Dark Skies piece I wrote years back.
Martin: “became an x-ray tech to keep track of that alien implant in his head.”
Sam: “You should be in law enforcement.”
Martin: “..the hours are terrible.”
Sam: “all benefits are pretty good.” Yes the 2 of them.
Jack: “Do no speak unless I tell you to speak…next time you wanna hit someone come and find me.”
Jack: “Call off the whole martyr thing.”
Viv: “me a martyr. You walk around with the weight of the world on your shoulders…You screwed Samantha and dumped her like garbage. You go back to your wife and you don’t really make that work. You recommend me for a job than you take that back…you need to take responsibility for the things you do Jack and grow up.”
Jack however doesn’t take responsibility as he goes on to blurt out to Teddy what really happened to him. Danny appears to be disgusted with him too as he wasn’t really tactful but took his anger out on him.
Martin: “Scully you done yet?” Viv’s desk is still empty. Yet another car accident. Note Danny lost his parents in a car accident also when he was 11.
