- ❝ I need to get my mind off of things, lucky for me, this city's full of distractions...and they can't hide from me.❞
- ―Aiden
They Can't Hide is the first storyline interlude mission in Watch Dogs. It introduces the profiler and crime prevention system on Aiden's smartphone.
Overview[]
After escaping from the May Stadium, Aiden drives to his room at the Owl Motel to sleep. As he sleeps, he has a nightmare where he remembers the day his niece Lena Pearce was killed by Maurice. After he suddenly wakes up, he says that he can only remember her when she was killed, and not when she was alive at her house. After leaving his room, Aiden comments on how the ctOS is easy to hack. Aiden hacks a pedestrian's phone, to find out than a potential criminal is about to kill a woman. He must then stop him. After driving to the potential criminal location, Aiden uses the profiler to identify the potential criminal and the potential victim. Aiden successfully knocks the criminal down before he could harm his victim.
Right after, Aiden receives a call from his sister Nicky, asking him to come to her house for Jackson's birthday. On his way, he also receives a call from Jordi, unlocking the Car on Demand app for Aiden's smartphone. The mission Big Brother then unlocks.
