The Invisible Man

Father Figure (2x14)

: 24, 2001

The NSA asks the Agency to bring in a rogue sniper, Forrester Purdue, and the Agency sends Darien and Bobby. Darien confronts the sniper, who can see him even though he's invisible. Fawkes recognizes the sniper as his father, who disappeared a long time ago. He goes to meet with his grandmother Madeline, and finds out apparently his father Mason did go to work for the government as an assassin. Investigating, the duo find out that Purdue's handler, Malachi Royce, was giving Purdue orders to kill folks for his personal reasons. When Darien's father refused, Royce had him declared rogue. Royce's men take Madeline hostage to lure out Mason/Purdue. After rescuing her, Fawkes confronts Royce and convinces him he'll take on his dad's assignment. Hobbes is Quicksilvered and invisible, and manages to get Royce on tape. After a brief father-and-son chat, Purdue disappears once again, leaving Darien hopeful they'll meet in the future.
