[ "Sydney returns to SD-6 as a double agent and is assigned with Marcus Dixon to travel to Moscow to retrieve some stolen files. In the process, however, she inadvertently gives SD-6 access to a nuclear weapon, which makes her travel to Cairo and face a deadly foe in order to fix things. Meanwhile, Will Tippin (a journalist and a close friend) driven by pity and a secret devotion for her, begins to question the circumstances surrounding Danny's death. He discovers weird details about the night of the murder, one being that someone had tried to help him escape by booking him a flight to Singapore. Sydney, who still can't come to terms with her father's insincerity, reconciles with him to a certain extent when she discovers he was the one who bought plane tickets for Daniel and her." ]

[ "(Sydney, wearing a long black wig and black clothes, runs down a hall. Panting. She's being chased by two men.)", "MAN 1: Arretez!", "MAN 2: Arretez!", "(They shout at her in French. Sydney flies behind a corner, flings open a door and runs down a flight of stairs. The men are right on her tail. She runs down a hall, gunshots fly. She dives in an elevator as bullets riddle the insides. The doors close. She hits floor twenty-eight. Men shout in French. Inside the elevator, Sydney slaps a device on the wall of the elevator that makes the video of her in the control room scramble. She stares at the video camera in the upper corner of the elevator for a minute, climbs up to the ceiling of the elevator and pops out. On top of the elevator, Sydney takes out a metal object, clamps it on the cable next to the elevator, jumps across and slides down as the elevator goes up. The elevator dings at floor twenty-eight, with the two men waiting for her to come out... only to find the elevator empty.)", "(In the basement, Sydney runs. She runs into a guard, beats him. Outside, a stretch limo screeches to a halt. Door opens, Sydney jumps in. As the limo pulls away, we see the Eiffel Tower in the background. Inside the limo, Sydney pants and gives a small box to a large man smoking a cigar across from her.)", "(Cut to inside a van. Sydney and Vaughn sit at a table. He takes notes.)", "SYDNEY: That was three years ago when I met him for the first time. Leonard Dreyfus -- he helps bankroll SD-6 operations. This guy is very hands-on. Not just in his business. He's a real slime. He runs a division in Geneva. Go-to guy for transport. He'll get anything, anywhere, fast. Sloane relies on him. He's a big target.", "VAUGHN: Okay, good, listen--", "SYDNEY: Also, there's a crew just outside Memphis. They provide firearms. Custom stuff -- graphite, titanium, plastics.", "VAUGHN: Memphis?", "SYDNEY: Memphis, Egypt.", "(Cut to Memphis, flashback. Inside a warehouse, Sydney and Dixon sit in front of a desk while two men stand behind it.)", "SYDNEY: (voice over) I know I just started working with you guys at the C.I.A., but listen to me. If we're gonna bring down SD-6, we have to eliminate their source of arms -- Anini Hassan.", "HASSAN: Three of her majesty's favorites.", "(He gives a large gun to Dixon; he admires it.)", "HASSAN: (gestures to other man to get other gun) And now, the new design, as I promised. I named it \"Abenni.\" That's my son's name. It holds twelve rounds and it's semi-automatic.", "(He tries loading it; looks to man.)", "HASSAN: What the hell is this?", "(They begin to speak in Arabic, then shouting. Sydney tries speaking to them in Arabic to calm them down. Dixon looks nervous. Hassan pulls a gun on the guy.)", "DIXON: NO!", "(Too late. Hassan shoots his worker a few times in the chest. Sydney turns her head so she won't see. Hassan turns to them; his cheek splattered with the man's blood.)", "HASSAN: That was -- uh, sorry. I'm sorry you had to see that.", "SYDNEY: (voice over) That was six months ago. I have friends from the Middle East. Hassan's not one of them.", "(In the van.)", "VAUGHN: I don't blame you. Listen--", "SYDNEY: There's more. We need to go after a geneticist in Kuala Lumpur. He's involved in--", "VAUGHN: Okay, stop. You have to listen to me, okay?", "SYDNEY: You said you wanted to talk about the plan. I'm giving you the plan.", "VAUGHN: It's not your job to give me the plan. I'm giving you the plan. Tomorrow's your first day back at SD-6. Now, nothing should change. When you get your assignment, you'll detail your mission on a paper bag. (picks one up, showing her) Bag. Then you'll call this number. (gives her card) Memorize it. After three tones, press the appropriate digit -- one through six. Each corresponds to a trash can in a specific location. Now we'll review your information, create a countermission, and we'll contact you posing as a wrong number. Joey's Pizza. Any questions, so far?", "SYDNEY: Yeah. Can you show me what a bag looks like again?", "(Vaughn rolls his eyes.)", "SYDNEY: Now, you listen to me, Mr. Vaughn. I appreciate what your job is here, even though I think you're a little young to be doing it, to establish a protocol between the C.I.A. and their latest double agent. But I'm not sitting here to pick up the ins and outs of Langley procedure. I am sitting here for one reason only, and that is to destroy SD-6!", "VAUGHN: Hey!--", "SYDNEY: After which I am out! I want no more of this spy crap, that's why I went to you in the first place. So, listen to me and I will hand you, in record time, the people who will render SD-6 useless.", "VAUGHN: Record time.", "SYDNEY: Two months. Tops. And then I am out. I walk.", "(Pause. Vaughn takes a pad of paper and gives it to her.)", "VAUGHN: Draw me a map. Draw me a map of SD-6 and all it's allies. How far you think it reaches.", "SYDNEY: Do I look like I'm in Junior High?", "VAUGHN: (raising voice) Just draw me a SD-6 family tree!", "SYDNEY: Braces on my teeth...", "VAUGHN: (overlapping; shouting) How far you think it goes!", "SYDNEY: ...Headgear? Do you see a retainer?!", "VAUGHN: Just DO IT!", "(She stares at him and takes the pen and paper. Within ten seconds, she has a simple map with about a dozen names.)", "SYDNEY: I don't know what your problem is with me. Maybe it's that I'm a woman, or maybe you just don't like my attitude, or something, and I'm sorry about that. But I really dont feel like wasting time here. Three's only one way we can immobilize SD-6, and that's MY way. So, forgive me for being forthright or... female, but this is how it's gonna be.", "(He nods slowly, stands and gets a map. He spreads it out in front of them. Hundreds, perhaps a thousand, names are affiliated with SD-6 on the map. Sydney looks amazed at how deep this goes and how little she knew.)", "VAUGHN: Since I've been at the C.I.A., I've only seen this map grow. This is what you're in the middle of, Sydney. If shutting down the Los Angeles cell was all we were after, we would have raided that office three years ago. This is not about cutting off an arm of the monster. This is about killing the monster. And the work you have ahead of you -- the work your father has been doing -- it's complicated, it's political, and it is long term.", "(Sydney's shocked.)", "VAUGHN: (shows card) Here, memorize this.", "SYDNEY: I did.", "VAUGHN: Okay. I guess we'll wait to hear from you.", "(She stands, gets ready to leave.)", "VAUGHN: Hey, wait.", "(He gets a bright yellow sticker from the above counter and sticks it on the inside of Sydney's arm. She puts on her bookbag; he smiles.)", "SYDNEY: Thanks.", "VAUGHN: You're welcome.", "(Sydney leaves the van. Outside, we see that the van has \"L.A. County Blood Donor Drive\" on it. It's parked at the university. A guy walks past Sydney, who still looks stunned.)", "GUY: Hey, see you in class.", "SYDNEY: For sure.", "(She starts walking to her class.)", "(Francie and Charlie -- Francie's boyfriend -- are helping Sydney move into her new house. Francie unwraps a plate.)", "FRANCIE: Oh, look. This one's chipped.", "SYDNEY: Oh, that's okay. Those were my mom's.", "FRANCIE: Oh.", "CHARLIE: (entering, carrying a box) Okay, these are heavy.", "SYDNEY: Oh. (laughs) Put that down right... right here.", "CHARLIE: No problem.", "SYDNEY: Thank you.", "CHARLIE: Como si. (to Francie) I need a massage later.", "FRANCIE: Okay, good to know.", "(Will enters with a bag of food.)", "SYDNEY: Hey, finally.", "WILL: I know, I'm sorry. Litvack called; I had to rewrite a whole piece in the parking lot. (to Charlie) They didn't have any horseradish.", "CHARLIE: No, that's cool.", "SYDNEY: That's annoying.", "WILL: Yeah, no kidding. There's a woman in Marina Del Ray who's eating newspapers.", "FRANCIE: She's eating it?", "WILL: She's pregnant and apparently it's a condition some women get before they-- (motions to stomach)", "SYDNEY: Eating newspaper's a condition?", "WILL: Yeah, yeah. This is what I write about. This is how I make a living. And Lintback says my writing's too judgemental and I'm like, \"Well, who cares? She's not gonna read it anyway, she's gonna swallow it.\"", "(They chuckle.)", "FRANCIE: Hey, what are you doing on Thursday?", "WILL: Probably rewriting this piece again.", "SYDNEY: Charlie got an offer.", "WILL: Hey, that's great! Where?", "CHARLIE: Leming Letterman. That's corporate law. Downtown office.", "WILL: Yeah, yeah, yeah. I heard of that.", "FRANCIE: We're doing a dinner thing on Thursday and you are required.", "WILL: Totally, totally there. Congratulations!", "(They shake hands. Will pauses and follows Sydney into her bedroom with a sandwich and drink in his hand. She hangs up some clothes.)", "SYDNEY: Hey.", "WILL: Do you want your-your food?", "SYDNEY: Yeah, I just want to get the closets done first so I feel like I live here.", "WILL: Well, here.", "(He takes some clothes from a box and helps her hang some up.)", "SYDNEY: Thanks.", "(Pause.)", "WILL: Syd, I'm sorry. I can't take it.", "SYDNEY: Will, please. Let's not do this again.", "WILL: C'mon, you know me. You know I can't let this go!", "SYDNEY: Will, come on!", "WILL: You took Amy's passport!", "SYDNEY: I know!", "WILL: You took her credit card!", "SYDNEY: I know what happened!", "WILL: You disappeared!", "SYDNEY: I know!", "WILL: Syd, I can't--", "(Her pager goes off. Sydney looks at it.)", "SYDNEY: It's the bank.", "WILL: What was going on with Danny? Because he must've been in some kind of trouble--", "SYDNEY: I need you to do something.", "WILL: You need me to shut up, I know!", "SYDNEY: I need you to accept what I've already told you.", "WILL: You haven't told me anything, you're being so vague!", "SYDNEY: I lost my mind a little. I started imagining things.", "WILL: Whatever the hell you're talking about, maybe you're not imagining it. Syd, this is what I do. I might be able to find something that the police overlooked!", "SYDNEY: Stop it! Please. I'm trying to move on here. I need your help to do that. Okay?", "(Credit Dauphine. Sydney gets off the elevator, enters the white room. It lights up red. She enters the room, but it's different now. All these people she sees every day, and now she's lying. Marshall comes up to her.)", "MARSHALL: Oh, hey, Miss Bristow.", "SYDNEY: Hey, Marshall.", "MARSHALL: Hey, listen, I don't normally get overly personal. I don't like to cross that line. You probably don't know this about me, but I'm really not much of a social peson. I don't like--I like myself, I mean, I enjoy myself, I just don't feel that kind of pressure when I'm by my--you ever feel that?", "SYDNEY: You can say anything you want to me.", "MARSHALL: Okay. I just wanted to tell you that I'm really sorry about your fiance, and it's nice to have you back.", "SYDNEY: Thanks.", "(He smiles and walks away.)", "(Meeting. Dixon, Sloane, Marshall and Sydney sit in the board room.)", "SLOANE: Let's start with what we know. We've received two pieces of intel. The first is this internal memo from G.R.A. headquarters. It seems that certain files were reported missing last week from the seventh floor of The Aquarium.", "DIXON: Seventh floor? That's foreign intelligence.", "SLOANE: And we acquired the second piece. Abul Hassein Navour. Military attache from Sudan whom you'll fondly remember from last year. He's on his way to Moscow to meet these two gentlemen. Kazimits Chebekov and Luri Kapochev. Both ID'd as members of the Russian mafia. We think these are the men who stole the documents because the codes identified that these lost documents pertained to the Soviet-American nuclear arsenal during the Cold War.", "SYDNEY: Navour's buying twenty year old intel records. Why?", "SLOANE: That's the part we don't know. So, you are leaving tomorrow morning.", "(He gives black envelopes to Dixon and Sydney.)", "SLOANE: Your job is to prevent the transaction and retrieve the stolen files. Marshall, tell us what you got.", "MARSHALL: (stands) Okay. Who here has trouble falling asleep at night, hmm? (raises hand) No one else does? OKay. Well, anyway, myself, on occasion, I find it difficult to nod off -- mind racing, ideas, et cetera. So, this kind of pertains to the whole sleeping thing. Now, I created this just for Navour.", "(He puts on really big, black gloves and takes out a blue dot from a container with the help of a pair of pincers.)", "MARSHALL: Now, you just take this kind of little round thing here. Pretty cool. You just touch it, just with your finger, your hand, you know, just barely touch it and you're knocked out completely. It's like freebasing Thorazine. Boom. Now, you only get two times on this thing. It only works twice, so you don't want to use it three times 'cause...", "DIXON: Do we need to use those gloves?", "MARSHALL: Oh, no, we can make a nice ring, or-or perhaps an attractive cuff-cuff link. The reason why I'm wearing the gloves, I accidentally touched this the other day and I fell and kncked my head on the desk and was out cold for twenty minutes. You guys should see this.", "(He turns to show a Band-Aid that is on his neck. Sydney and Dixon try not to laugh. Sydney, smiling, makes eye contact with Sloane who is staring at her intently.)", "MARSHALL: That's not, um, I'm trying to be kind of Pavlovian about these puppies. No pun intended.", "(Outside the board room, Dixon and Sydney walk to their desks.)", "DIXON: They keep coming back, don't they?", "SYDNEY: Who? You mean Navour?", "DIXON: How is that man still able to walk after our apparel?", "SYDNEY: If it weren't him, it'd be someone else.", "DIXON: Then let it be someone else. We kill ourselves to do the right thing, meanwhile the bad people keep coming back.", "(Sydney stares at him.)", "SLOANE: Sydney, do you have a minute?", "SYDNEY: Yes, of course.", "DIXON: I'll be in Tech Ops. (leaves)", "SLOANE: I know it's gonna take you some time to adjust to being back. I just want to make sure you're all right.", "SYDNEY: I'm fine. Thanks.", "SLOANE: Good. I need to show you something.", "(Sloane opens an office door; Sydney looks surprised.)", "SLOANE: I'll leave you two alone. (leaves)", "MR. BRISTOW: It's all right, the room's clean. No one's listening. Hello, Sydney.", "SYDNEY: What is this?", "MR. BRISTOW: I'm here to tell you what you already know. That I work for SD-6, or so they think. I asked Sloane to do this.", "SYDNEY: Why?", "MR. BRISTOW: Because it'll facilitate what we're doing if they know that you know. It wouldn't hurt if you acted surprised when you left the office.", "SYDNEY: Since I've known the truth about you, I've asked myself questions. Thousands of questions. But this one I have to ask you now. When Danny was killed... Dad... did you know? Did you know that's what they ewre going to do?", "MR. BRISTOW: Yes.", "(She slaps him.)", "SYDNEY: Don't you ever speak to me again.", "(She leaves.)", "(In a mall food court, Sydney writes on a paper bag.)", "SYDNEY: (voice over) Abul Hassein Navour is attempting to purchase files stolen from the Russian government. Sloane is sending us to Moscow to prevent Navour from getting the files.", "(Cut to a phone booth. Sydney presses a button and hangs up.)", "SYDNEY: (V.O.) Dixon will impersoonate Navour. My job is to break into Navour's hotel room and take the money for the buy. So, what's next?", "(Sydney walks by a garbage bag and throws the crumpled up bag in the can.)", "(In Sydney's new place, she unpacks a box and stacks books on a shelf. She takes out a framed picture and smiles. The phone rings. She puts the picture on the shelf -- it's of her and Danny, both are smiling.)", "SYDNEY: Hello?", "VOICE: Joey's Pizza?", "SYDNEY: I'm sorry. You've got the wrong number.", "(Convenience store. Sydney enters, wrapping her cardigan sweater tighter around her body. Vaughn stands nearby, looking at cereal. She goes behind him and opens the cooler door, looking at a bottle of V8 Splash.)", "SYDNEY: It's me.", "VAUGHN: How you doing?", "SYDNEY: How I'm doing? I'd say things have been better. I'm working with friends who have no idea who they're really working for.", "VAUGHN: I heard Sloane had you meet your father.", "SYDNEY: Yes, he did. So, what's my counter-mission?", "VAUGHN: Navour's been on our short list for the past six months. In August, he attempted to purchase a nuke from Libya.", "SYDNEY: You already knew about Moscow?", "VAUGHN: No, we didn't. So, thank you for that.", "(Sydney closes the cooler door and moves beside him in the cereal aisle.)", "SYDNEY: Don't mention it. (shivers) That was cold. So, what's my move?", "VAUGHN: Carry out your assignment. Get the documents. When you get back, make sure YOU are holding the stolen files. We'll execute two brush passes at the airport terminal.", "(He gets a slushie.)", "VAUGHN: First, one will take place at the gate. We'll intercept the materials and make a duplicate copy and then return them to you in a second pass to be executed at the airport curb.", "SYDNEY: That's it?", "VAUGHN: That's it. Want a Slusho?", "SYDNEY: No, thank you.", "VAUGHN: They're delicious.", "SYDNEY: No, thanks. I said I was cold.", "VAUGHN: (looks at her) Good luck.", "(Newspaper office. Will is at his desk, on the phone.)", "WILL: I can imagine, that must've been devastating. Did he say anything to you after he drove over your cat?", "(A pretty girl, Jenny, stands at his desk and smiles. He looks at her in recognition.)", "WILL: Uh huh. Did he ever make any threats to you, or your cat? Sure. No, I--okay. You have my number at the paper. All right. Bye-bye. (hangs up) A man ran over his cat.", "JENNY: I understand.", "WILL: We're in a world where people drive over people's cats.", "JENNY: You didn't answer my question.", "WILL: Which-which one?", "JENNY: What are you doing for dinner?", "WILL: Jenny, you're nineteen years old.", "JENNY: I'm twenty. You know I turned twenty--", "WILL: We're not having this conversation. I'm ancient compared to you. Look. Look at me. Look how red my eyes are.", "JENNY: (smiles) You don't look too bad.", "WILL: Do me a favor. Can you pull me that file on Daniel Hecht?", "JENNY: What, that murder? Your friend?", "WILL: Yeah. Do you mind?", "JENNY: No, no.", "WILL: Thanks.", "(She starts to walk away, turns.)", "JENNY: You don't take me seriously, do you?", "WILL: No, I don't.", "JENNY: Hmm.", "(Moscow. In a hotel lobby, Sydney walks in wearing a long blonde wig that's braided. She wears glasses and speaks to Dixon who stands near the counter via an earpiece.)", "SYDNEY: Dixon, do yo copy?", "DIXON: Wow. That's loud.", "SYDNEY: (walking to elevator) You told Marshall you wanted it louder. I was there.", "DIXON: Okay. My headache and I are 1017.", "SYDNEY: (in elevator) Break a leg.", "DIXON: You, too.", "(Upstairs, the elevator dings and Sydney gets off.

A man inside speaks Russian, she speaks Russian back. He opens the door and lets her in.)", "(At the bar, Dixon walks around and sees two Russians. They wave at him.)", "DIXON: Chebekov and Kapochev just showed up.", "(Upstairs, in the hotel room. Men speak Russian.)", "DIXON: Stand by on the call.", "(Sydney makes the bed. The men leave. She goes to the suitcase, removes the case on her ring to show the blue sleeping dot. She turns the ring so it's on the inside of her hand. She goes to the bodyguard who is sitting down and shakes his hand, speaking Russian. He knocks out immediately.)", "SYDNEY: Wow. Bodyguard's out. Navour's in the shower, I'm going in for the money.", "(Downstairs at the bar. The men wave at Dixon.)", "DIXON: Move fast. They spotted me.", "(Upstairs, Sydney takes off her glasses and uses the arms as a lock picking device.

I am the handsome one.", "(They chuckle.)", "CHEBEKOV: No protection with you?", "DIXON: Why, should I not feel safe here?", "KAPOCHEV: Here, here you feel very safe, yes.", "(They get a table.)", "(Upstairs, Sydney picks the lock.

I brag too much.", "(They chuckle. Dixon takes a drink.)", "(The man from the hallway speaks Russian; Sydney keeps picking the lock.)", "(At the bar.)", "KAPOCHEV: That's the problem with Sudan. There's no place for fun.", "DIXON: It's a nice change, being out of the Sudan.", "CHEBEKOV: I thought you said you travel often.", "DIXON: Yes. Not often enough. (laughs)", "CHEBEKOV: So, I can see you don't have the money with you, is that correct?", "DIXON: No, not at the moment. But the money's very close.", "(The man from the hallway walks in, sees Sydney at the briefcase. He shouts in Russian, pulls a gun. She throws the suitcase at him, the money empties across the floor. She punches and kicks him. He throws her across the room, twice, the second time she lands on top of a dresser. On her back, she kicks him hard. Pushes himm. Kicks him. Elbows him in the head. Navour comes out of the shower, she puts him to sleep while speaking Russian with her ring. She turns and sees the money -- all blank sheets spread out on the floor.)", "SYDNEY: (to Dixon) I got bad news. This wasn't a buy. This was a hold-up. They were going to steal the files.

[ "Sydney's life is in danger as she is sent to Madrid to retrieve a 500-year-old sketch that contains a set of binary digits on its reverse, having to do with the Rambaldi artifact Sydney brought back from Taipei. SD-6 needs the sketch to decipher the key to its workings. Meanwhile, Will Tippin continues his research into the cause of Danny's death and discovers a strange anomaly concerning surveillance cameras in the zone of Danny's apartment the night he was murdered. Will is not aware of the danger he is placing himself in by doing this, but Sydney tries to make him stop. In Madrid, Sydney meets up with her deadly nemesis, K-Directorate agent Anna Espinosa, and a fight ensues to retrieve the sketch. It ends up at a draw, as Anna keeps the key to a small suitcase Sydney has obtained. In the end they have to make an arrangement to open the suitcase together, which has the two of them looking inside the suitcase in astonishment at something that remains unrevealed." ]

[ "Sydney becomes convinced that her father was responsible for the death of her mother, Laura Bristow, 20 years earlier, as she discovers both were involved in a car accident while her father was trying to escape from FBI. She also suspects he might have been a double agent for the KGB. Amidst all this confusion, Sydney is made to go undercover in a mental institution in Bucharest to get information from Shepard, a man who has been unconsciously programmed to be a deadly assassin. In the meantime Will Tippin discovers the true identity of Kate Jones (Eloise Kurtz), the woman who claimed to have had an affair with Danny. Francie is relieved to learn that Charlie is not having an affair with another woman but trying to be a singer songwriter and that the woman is the piano player he is rehearsing with. Marshall Flinkman, the chief technician at SD-6, finds the computer worm planted in the SD-6 mainframe by the CIA and tells Sloane, who congratulates him and tells him it was part of a special security test he's passed. Sloane now has suspicions that someone in SD-6 is a mole and this sets him on his path of finding who it is. Sydney's cover at the asylum is blown when it is revealed that an agent from the K-Directorate is in charge there who also wants to know things from Shepard." ]

[ "After helping Shepard escape from the asylum in Bucharest Sydney discovers the shocking connection he has with her past. He was brainwashed by SD-6 and programmed to kill her fiancé, among others. Sloane is confronted by Alliance representative Alain Christophe after the computer worm affair blows up, whom suggests that one or more moles may have infiltrated SD-6. Will Tippin continues to investigate the Eloise Kurtz (alias Kate Jones), who now claims to have been Danny's mistress. He makes an appointment with her, but when he goes to her place it has been emptied and repainted and she is gone. Later, she's found dead in Echo Park. Sydney, in the meantime, understands that Shepard is not really responsible for Danny's murder but he's been used by the SD-6 very much like herself. She lets him go and tells SD-6 that he went totally insane and committed suicide jumping from a bridge near the frontier with Bucharest. Upon her return to Los Angeles, she learns the truth about her father's involvement in her mother's death 20 years earlier. It was his fault because he was fleeing from another car when they had the accident. But Syd also learns for sure that he was not involved with the KGB. He tells her that during the Cold War everybody was suspicious of illegal activities, so he was investigated as a routine process." ]

[ "Sydney must undergo an extensive lie detector test to satisfy Sloane's frantic search for the SD-6 mole. With nemesis Anna Espinosa following her every move, Sydney is told to find out the truth about the connection that a clock made by one Giovanni Donato for Rambaldi in the 16th century may have to the 500-year-old prophetic Rambaldi sketch with the binary digits on the back. The mystery of Kate Jones deepens as Will continues to investigate Danny's death when he finds a piece of jewelry in her abandoned car that works as a microphone to contact someone else. Sydney accidentally discovers that some books her father gave her mother as a present have 5-character rows of Cyrillic letters imprinted at the margins, which seems to prove that he indeed had some kind of connection with the KGB." ]

I've had Sloane's trust, but lately, I haven't been informed of much at all.", "SYDNEY: So, what does that mean?", "JACK: Two things concern me. While you were in Romania, Marshall noticed some computer abnormalities. I assumed it was just a system error, but it's possible he's realized that the SD-6's network's been compromised.", "SYDNEY: Could Sloane trace it to C.I.A.?", "JACK: I don't know.

I mean, it was a cold night so I said I needed to get some air, but the truth is... I was overcome. It had occurred to me, as I was walking down the White House steps that I was living in a perfect moment. Everything was filled with promise. My role at the C.I.A., my relationship with a wife that I had not yet met. Still, I could feel a darkness coming so I wandered around for a while. Ended up at the Jefferson Memorial. It's always my favorite one. Looked out across the basin. Lincoln right there. I didn't know how it would finally materialize -- the darkness. I had nothing to base it on. It wasn't as if the C.I.A. had just betrayed me, that my wife had just been diagnosed with lymphoma. None of that had happened yet.

I was.", "VAUGHN: Sydney--", "SYDNEY: Rusik did nothing wrong. But because of what my father did, he was killed.", "VAUGHN: Rusik wasn't such an innocent. You want to know about Rusik? He was an early member of SD-6. He knew he was working for the bad guys. He was the leader of at least a dozen operations that stole weapons and chemicals and intel and sold them to the enemies of the United States for cash to fund more SD-6 operations. Just like the one that killed your fiance. He got what he deserved!", "SYDNEY: If you know so much about Rusik, then you knew he wasn't K-Directorate.", "VAUGHN: It seems he was sacrificed, yes.", "SYDNEY: Well, see, that's not a choice my dad can just make!", "VAUGHN: What would you have done, if it had been your daughter? Or son? ...Or Danny?", "(Vaughn stops, knowing he went too far. Sydney tears up. He turns his back to her and sighs, rubbing his forehead.)", "VAUGHN: Listen, there's something else.", "(In Cuba. Jack sits at a table at a cafe, reading a newspaper and looking up and down the street, waiting to meet someone.)", "VAUGHN: (voice over) In Cuba, your father made contact with an old informant. A Havana insider who set up the meeting between your father and Hassan's men.", "SYDNEY: (voice over) What happened?", "(Jack waits at the table. The informant walks to him, a gun at his side. He points the gun at Jack. Jack bolts to his feet, throws the table at the man. The man goes down, but two other goons come to Jack. One flips him to the ground.

Hassan has your father.", "SYDNEY: What's being done?", "VAUGHN: We have a team in place in Havana, but Devlin doesn't want to move yet.

Do you mind if I...?", "(He gestures to a notepad in front of him and puts on his glasses.)", "DAVID: No, that's all right.", "WILL: Great.", "DAVID: So, in the letter you sent, you weren't real specific. You're doing an article on encryption software?", "WILL: Yeah, um... no. Not really. I mean, I think that's an interesting topic. It's timely and, you know, we can't do that.", "DAVID: So why are we sitting here?", "WILL: I'm researching something. It's called SD-6.", "(David looks away.)", "DAVID: I don't have anything to say about that.", "WILL: Why don't you just tell me what you know?

That's why I'm here...", "(Outside the house, a guard stands around. Sydney kicks him in the head and punches him. He goes down.)", "(Inside the room, continuing...)", "JACK: You think SD-6 ripped you off, so you stole from them and you disappeared. Now they've stolen a good deal of your money and they want you dead.", "HASSAN: SD-6 will never kill me.", "JACK: You're too smart to bleieve that. Think about Isaac Lochan or Ulee Shroeder. They will find you. They have a photograph of you from Semba Island.", "HASSAN: How?", "JACK: That's the same question you'll be asking yourself the moment before they kill you.", "HASSAN: What's your offer?", "JACK: You have something of value to me. Your client list. I want it. Not for SD-6. For me. For my own personal use.", "(Hassan laughs.)", "JACK: You give me your client list and I'll give you your freedom.", "HASSAN: How?", "JACK: We'll fake your death, you and I, together. And I'll return to SD-6 and show them the photographs. They'll think you're no longer a problem. You'll be free.", "(Sydney runs outside the house and looks around. A guard comes up from behind her. She punches him. He takes her down by sweeping her legs out from under her. He then hits her with the but of his gun.)", "(They take Jack and and throw him into a chair outside.)", "HASSAN: How do I know that you are not setting me up and how do I know that if I give you my list that I worked decades to assemble, you're not simply going to shoot me anyway?", "JACK: Because you can trust me. Think about it. I'm the one who contacted your men. If I really wanted to kill you, all I'd have to do is wait. Keep my mouth shut. You didn't know that you'd been ID'd with your new face. You would've walked into town. I could've popped you in the head like a deer. If you say yes to this, we both win -- big. If you say no, we both die. It's your call.", "(Hassan's men walks in and speaks in Spanish to Hassan. They tell them about finding Sydney.)", "HASSAN: Gracias. Interesting!", "JACK: What?", "HASSAN: Well... I think you make a good offer, but I still don't know if I can trust you completely. So, prove to me that you are willing to go against SD-6.", "JACK: Anything.", "HASSAN: You say you came alone?", "JACK: Yes.", "HASSAN: Well then, there is someone else here...", "(Jack turns, frantically, and sees two men carrying an unconscious Sydney. They throw her down on the floor and she comes to.)", "HASSAN: Someone who works for SD-6.", "(He slaps her. Jack looks away, pained. Sydney sits up, groggy, and looks at them. They point their guns at Jack. Hassan unties his hands and gives him a gun.)", "HASSAN: Here. Kill her.", "(Jack takes the gun.)", "HASSAN: Aim the gun at this woman if you are who you say you are, and kill her.", "(Sydney stares. The guards all have their guns pointed at Jack. He raises the gun and points it at his own daughter...)" ]

[ "Sydney is grateful and proud of her father after he saves her life while on a case in Havana but her admiration is short lived when Vaughn discovers further evidence that Jack may have been responsible for the deaths of over a dozen CIA officers 25 years earlier, one of them his own father. After thinking it over carefully, Sydney decides to speak against her father in front of senior CIA agents. But she is surprised to see him at the meeting, where he himself tells her that yes, he was involved but he was not the assassin. She's shocked to learn that Laura Bristow , her mother, was in fact one Irina Derevko , undercover agent for the KGB, who infiltrated the US to obtain intelligence and murder key agents." ]

The guards all point their guns at him. Jack keeps his gun on Sydney, blinking.)", "JACK: Shooting this agent proves nothing.", "HASSAN: To me, it proves everything. You come to me and you make me an offer. You tell me you are willing to work against SD-6 and that you are working alone. And then she shows up.", "JACK: Obviously, SD-6 sent her here without my knowledge.", "HASSAN: Well then, you should have no problem whatsoever proving your loyalty to me. Kill this agent and I'll believe you. And accept your offer. And if you choose not to, then I'll just have to say good-bye to both of you.", "(Jack shoots one of the guards. The guard shoots at Jack. Sydney takes out the guard next to her. Hassan reaches for a gun, but Jack is quicker. He's up on his feet and pointing a gun at him.)", "JACK: Don't do it! Hands in the air! Now!", "SYDNEY: It took me a second to realize what you were doing.", "JACK: I was blinking as fast as I could.", "SYDNEY: I know. I was like, \"Hard on your light\"?", "JACK: Guard on your right.", "SYDNEY: Well, I figured it out. I was just never very good at morse code.", "(She sees he has a wound on his upper arm.)", "SYDNEY: Dad, you were shot.", "JACK: It's nothing. (to Hassan) Call you guards. Have them meet you out back. We're going out the front. We're fluent in Arabic, so just do as I say.", "HASSAN: (speaks Arabic)", "JACK: (speaks Arabic right back)", "(Hassan takes a walkie talkie and talks to the guards in Arabic. They all run towards the back exit. Jack snatches the walkie talkie away and pushes him out. Jack and Sydney put him in a car. Jack drives out of there with Sydney in the backseat, keeping a gun on Hassan. Along the countryside, they drive along.)", "HASSAN: So, now what? Take me to the mountains and kill me?", "JACK: The plan doesn't change.

It's not cheap, you know.", "JACK: Give me your client list.", "(He brings it up on a Palm Pilot sort of thing.)", "HASSAN: There you are. You said you had a way for me to get out of Cuba.", "JACK: Oh, yes, I do.", "(He elbows him in the face. Hassan falls to the floor, knocked out. Jack starts tying up his hands.)", "JACK: (to Sydney) Two years ago, of course I knew you were working for SD-6, I heard you'd been sent to Memphis, Egypt to meet with this jackass. It turned my stomach that you were in this business.", "SYDNEY: Come here.", "(When Hassan is tied, Jack sits at the table where Sydney has a first aid kit out. She tears his shirt and begins dressing his arm wound.)", "SYDNEY: I think you've got a lacerated blood vessel.", "JACK: I'm all right.", "SYDNEY: Dad, can I ask you something? When you started with SD-6, you knew that they were a mercenary group and that they had no connection with the C.I.A. But I didn't. When I joined, I thought I was going to be saving the world and not making it more dangerous.", "JACK: What's the question?", "SYDNEY: Why didn't you say something? I mean, you could have told me what I was really doing - damage instead of good - but you kept quiet.", "JACK: (sighs) Revealing the truth about what you were doing would have required revealing the truth about what I was doing.", "(Outside in the middle of nowhere, a helicopter whirs and lands.

So, thank you.", "VAUGHN: I didn't do anything.", "SYDNEY: You got me into Cuba.", "(Vaughn looks down.)", "SYDNEY: And you know what? You were right.", "VAUGHN: What about?", "SYDNEY: What hapepens when someone you care about is in trouble. What you said, that nothing else matters. It all just goes away.

You should have seen him.", "VAUGHN: Your father?", "SYDNEY: Yeah, he was like... he was like a pro. He was good. I mean, the way you talked about him once, what his reputation was, I could see it in action. He was... impressive.", "VAUGHN: I got those codes deciphered. Those books your father used to buy for your mother. The ones she had imported twenty-five years ago, those cyrillic codes you found and gave to me.

Confirmed KGB orders.", "SYDNEY: What kind of orders? What do they mean?", "VAUGHN: It's a list of aliases, of handles... people.", "SYDNEY: Who?", "VAUGHN: Those are official code names given by the C.I.A. to over a dozen of our officers. All of whom were killed.", "SYDNEY: What?", "VAUGHN: Twenty-five years ago, all killed by an unknown foreign agent. The C.I.A. suspected was KGB. Your suspicions about your father havine once worked for the KGB... they're accurate.", "SYDNEY: We don't know that for sure.", "VAUGHN: We know your father was being tracked by an FBI counterintelligence--", "SYDNEY: You said that it was routine.", "VAUGHN: There's nothing routine about that list. There's something very specific about it. It's been a mystery within the agency for over two decades. Who murdered those C.I.A. officers? I'm sorry, but we have our answer now. It was your father. And I'm going to report him.", "(Jack, who is bandaged and bruised, speaks to Sloane in Sloane's office.)", "SLOANE: I'm glad you're back safely.

A picture of Hassan's \"murder\" that Jack took is up on the screen.)", "SLOANE: A viscious murder. Anini Hassan has been executed. We may never know who's responsible for this killing, but what we do know is that after word of his death spread, this man was unusually busy. This is Minos Sakulos. He worked very closely with Hassan. Some considered him to be Hassan's second. For the past two days, Sakulos has been scrambling to make contact with Hassan's old clients. Seems he's looking to take over Hassan's work.", "DIXON: You think Sakulos had Hassan killed?", "SLOANE: Perhaps. Or maybe he's just taking advantage of an opportunity. We intercepted this call last night.", "SAKULOS: I know that before his death, you were interested in speaking with Mr. Hassan.", "MAN: Yes, it was a discussion of a certain... package.", "SAKULOS: I'm in possession of this package myself. I'm taking bids right now.", "SYDNEY: The package?", "SLOANE: Yes, a package. For months we've been hearing rumors about a new device that Hassan had commissioned. We don't know what it is but Hassan was an arms dealer with access to nuclear weapons. We need to know. This is Club Panthera. It's Sakulos's cover. He keeps an office there. Sakulos has set up a meeting with potential clients Thursday night at this club. Your job is to go to Greece, break into Sakulos's office, and retrieve the specs on this mysterious package. Marshall?", "MARSHALL: Thank you. Um... actually, did anyone see that documentary on-on monkeys last night? Oh, it was great. They did this... sign... I guess... no one saw that. Okay. What we've learned so far is that Sakulos has a biometric scan on his office door which requires a retinal scan in order to open. So, you have the high-resolution retina scanner.", "(He takes out a pair of funky rose colored glasses.)", "MARSHALL: They work from up to about thirty feet. Now, Miss Bristow, you'll put these on like so...", "(He puts them on and once again, looks quite silly.)", "MARSHALL: And you find the person whose retinas you want. In this case, Sakulos. And you want to make direct, you know, solid eye contact. Look him right--and then uh, Mr. Dixon, you will lock on and hit the scan key. Now, it should take about ten seconds, which I know is kind of a long time but check this out.", "(From the briefcase that Dixon must use to hit the scan key, a small box is opened to reveal contacts.)", "MARSHALL: This is a silicone and fluoropolymer compound, creates a set of contact lenses that the retina reader will accept. And... you guys really, you got to check out that documentary on monkeys. It's... I got a copy at home if...", "(C.I.A. safehouse in L.A. Agents watch Anini Hassan behind the mirror in the room.

You're going to have to help me out because under the Patriot Act of 2001, you're not going anywhere. So what I recommend is that you and I work together and I'll make sure you stay comfortable. You wouldn't believe, but there are some nice prisons in this country. Either that, or you don't cooperate, in which case, let's just say you're not going to like your cellmates so much. Now, you don't have to trust me but it might save you some misery. What's the package?", "HASSAN: Listen, I have a wife and a son. They are a target. Not just SD-6. I've made many enemies in the past. Now, you bring them to the United States, give them protection. You do that for me, and I'll tell you whatever you want to know. Everything.", "VAUGHN: Let me make one thing very clear, Mr. Hassan. The extent to which I am willing to service you is when I offer you a soda. There is no room for negotations. There are no perks coming your way.

There are... um... there are so many things that... that I should probably do. I mean, as a father. Things I should ask... and say.", "SYDNEY: Dad... it's all right. Really.", "(She walks away. Jack puts the pen away.)", "(In the middle of nowhere, Vaughn and Sydney meet. They lean against their respective vehicles.)", "VAUGHN: Whatever the package is, Hassan's not talking so here's the plan.

You, not Dixon.", "(He gives her a make-up case.)", "VAUGHN: The compact's a camera, the lipstick's a voice recorder, the lighter's a USB flash RAM drive. Whatever intel you can get, get it for us. (gives her a file) There are some designs for various weapons. You'll photograph these with whatever camera SD-6 gives you. That's what you'll give them when you get back.", "SYDNEY: Thanks.", "VAUGHN: Listen, about your father. I know you're reluctant to do anything.", "SYDNEY: I've been thinking a lot about that...", "VAUGHN: You know what we have to do. We have to report him to Langley. Now, I could do it myself but those are your books. They'll need your testimony to make a case against him.", "SYDNEY: He might have been a part of the KGB, but we don't know what role he played in those murders.", "VAUGHN: You're kidding yourself and you know that.", "SYDNEY: Let's just say he was guilty. Those directives are twenty-five years old.", "VAUGHN: There's no statute of limitations against murder.", "SYDNEY: We need him right now. We will never destroy SD-6 without my father.", "(Vaughn looks away. He gets something from his car -- files and files of agents.)", "VAUGHN: Those code names in your father's book... they were people. And they risked their lives - all of them - for this country. And yes, it might have been twenty-five years ago but for each of those lives lost, others were destroyed.", "SYDNEY: I know.", "VAUGHN: No, you don't know because you're not thinking about them, you're only thinking about yourself! You made a connection with your father for the first time in your life and turning him in would mean sacrificing that. I understand. But Sydney, we have proof. We know who the victims are. You're holding them in your hands and we know who the killer was and we both know the right thing to do.", "SYDNEY: Yes, my father probably got those orders from the books and yes, it looks like my father was responsible for those deaths but what youre asking me to do... I just need some time. Not a lot of time. Not forever. Just... please. You wont do anything about this without me?", "(Vaughn nods a little. She gets in her car and drives away.

You want to help me out?", "HASSAN: Screw you.", "VAUGHN: Screw me?", "HASSAN: Screw you. I don't talk to you until you show me some respect.", "VAUGHN: Let's be honest here. In twenty minutes, you're going to be shipped off to a maximum-security prison outside Los Angeles. By five pm, you're going to be someone's after-dinner mint.

The package, and other weapons, are in a silo in Greece, on the island of Crete.", "(Blood donor van on campus.)", "SYDNEY: He licked my face.", "VAUGHN: I understand.", "SYDNEY: You don't really. He licked my face. You want to know the worst part? Because of him, I didn't succeed. Because of him, Dixon accessed the information, the C.I.A. got nothing, and SD-6 ended up with what they wanted.

I want to find the stockpile Hassan told you about, get the package, and bring it back.", "VAUGHN: I just don't feel it's the right time for the C.I.A. to send you anywhere without SD-6's knowledge.

I knew weeks ago that my file had been pulled and that you were suspicious of my activities twenty-five years ago regarding the KGB. When I learned that you had scheduled a meeting with Mr. Devlin regarding my... history, I knew that it was time. Let me say that, in advance, I'm sorry to make this such a public display but I felt it was important to do this in front of these people because they already know the truth and because I didn't think that you would believe me otherwise. Those cyrillic codes you found in those books - yes, they were orders from the KGB and yes, they were orders to kill. An agent recieved those orders and carried them out, murdering officers of the C.I.A., including your father, Mr. Vaughn. All this is true. But, Sydney, I was not that agent. Your mother was." ]

Uh, just every once in a while I'd think, \"I wonder whatever happened to Pigtails.\" And, um, what I took away from that encounter in the coffee room was the fact that you didn't want to go see some mediocre romantic comedy with me, sit in my Pontiac in the parking lot, while we talked for an hour before I made my move.

Technologies and tell them you want to interview their CEO. His name is Larry Glasner.", "(Prison.)", "WILL: Why would I want to interview Mr. Glasner?", "DAVID: You don't. But you got to get into the building. See, I used to work there and before my trial I did something illegal but really smart. See, I knew there were people that wanted to use my encryption software and that someone was going to use it for no good. So I wrote a subroutine in the program that would send a tag to a dedicated server.", "WILL: I don't really know the technical jargon, you're going to have to--", "DAVID: It's like a digital guestbook. Anybody that uses the program would unknowingly sign n. You see, I wanted to make sure there was a trail in case I ever wanted to pursue the people that were setting me up.", "WILL: So there's a list of people that used your program, right?", "DAVID: Right.

I'm not sure I want to be a teacher anymore.", "PROFESSOR: Sydney... you're one of the best students I've ever had. That's it. That's my pep talk.

Well, do you remember how tight security was in that Siberian silo a couple of years ago? Cakewalk compared to Vegas. I mean, casino security is like an onion. It's layer after layer after layer and the more that you peel back, the more you want to cry. Face recognition, video surveillance. The only way to get inside the system is to splice directly into one of the fiber optic cables but any interruption in the feed will alert security. Except the one thing nobody has but you is me and I... have this. Now this is a razor prism. It will cut directly into any fiber optic cable. Plus it will allow you total access without interrupting the data system.", "(She clamps the prism on a cable and starts typing on her latpop. Subject search for Darian Buchanan.

We don't have audio, but we got hold of the prison log. This is Tippin's third visit to McNeil in the last two weeks. You and I talked about Tippin some time ago. You convinced me that he was just a harmless metro reporter, far from a credible threat.", "(He takes a pill from his pillbox and pours some water.)", "SLOANE: But now he's found McNeil.", "JACK: What are you suggesting?", "SLOANE: You know what I'm suggesting.", "JACK: The decision to eliminate Tippin is premature.

Look Jack, I understand your reluctance - what this would mean to Sydney - but McNeil is not a benign element. He knows about SD-6. The division's name was mentioned in Koenig's testimony.", "JACK: Just the name. Nothing else.", "SLOANE: A name is all Tippin needs. What concerns me is this doesn't seem to concern you.", "JACK: There's a difference between concern and assassination.", "SLOANE: What are you suggesting?", "JACK: That we get audio.

This whole story reminds me of something she'd tell me about. Anyway, we know that Rambaldi was a 16th century inventor who seemed to have an almost psychic vision of technology.

There might be fifty, and I'd like the opportunity to refute all of them.", "SYDNEY: One of the biggest reasons that comes to mind is my mother. Khasinau was her superior.

That's the lesson in all this!", "SYDNEY: Dad, Noah Hicks is not a perfect man, but he is also not a traitor.

And the pending bone marrow biopsy report will merely inform us as to the number of days she has left. Days she will spend in an SD-6 hospital where information can be contained.

Let's go!", "(She takes Will and runs out. They climb the stairs. Another goon comes down the stairs. Sydney kicks his arm and throws him, head-first, into the railing on the opposite side.

They've been steering him toward SD-6. They told him about me. That's why we're here. Pursuing a lead to track his source.", "SYDNEY: Well, no one from intelligence was in that club.

I don't know.", "(Sark nods and turns. He leaves. Just like in the pilot, we get closer on those doors. They suddenly burst open and the gentleman from that episode walks in.

Do you have any close friends? I mean, people that you love?", "JACK: I don't need a lecture on friendships to understand what's at stake here. And while I might look at scenarios more strategically than emotionally, you could learn something from my experience.

I know you weren't wild about talking with your mother last week but I hope we can agree that the information she gave us made it worth your discomfort.", "SYDNEY: I thought so. Until an hour ago.", "KENDALL: How is that?", "SYDNEY: I just came from a meeting with Sloane. The camera I took from Fordson's vault, the camera we tried to keep from SD-6, was an early prototype. The real camera is scheduled to be launched into orbit seventy-two hours from now.", "KENDALL: By whom?", "(Flashback: conference meeting with Sloane, Dixon, Sydney, Marshall, and Jack.)", "SLOANE: The Asiatic Space Agency. Founded after the fall of the iron curtain, the ASA consists mainly of displaced Russian scientists. Their latest client is an old friend of ours.", "(He clicks a button on the remote and a picture of Sark comes up on their screens.)", "SYDNEY: Sark.", "DIXON: What's his interest in launching a satellite?", "SLOANE: That's the question.", "MARSHALL: The satellite is equipped with a terahertz imaging camera. Now, this camera's capable of seeing through solid matter up to a depth of a hundred meters.", "SLOANE: It is imperative that we find out what Mr. Sark is looking for.", "(Back at the task force.)", "SYDNEY: The launch site's in Sri Lanka. Sloane wants us to infiltrate it posing as corporate buyers. Our mission is to hack into the satellite so SD-6 can tap into Sark's feed and see what he sees.", "VAUGHN: I'll get technical services on that. We'll want to hack into that feed, too.", "KENDALL: That's a fine preliminary step, Agent Vaughn, but I will want to know what we're looking for before the satellite is launched.", "(He looks at Sydney.)", "SYDNEY: You want me to talk to her again.", "KENDALL: Mr. Sark has assumed control of your mother's operation--", "SYDNEY: Please stop referring to her as my mother.", "KENDALL: Therefore, Ms. Derevko must know what he's looking for and she's made it clear she will only speak with you.", "SYDNEY: Look, I talked to her before because I had to. I have no intention of making this into a habit.", "KENDALL: I assume you have an opinion on this, Agent Vaughn.", "VAUGHN: Uh, I don't have an easy answer on that.", "KENDALL: I'll take a complicated one.", "VAUGHN: I can't pretend to hide my bias here. Irina Derevko betrayed this country and killed my father in the process. On the other hand, she is a certifiable Rambaldi expert and probably knows more about the inner workings of global organized crime than any other person in U.S. custody. Having said that, I believe Agent Bristow and I were effectively countering SD-6 before Derevko turned herself in and I stand behind whatever she decides.", "KENDALL: I do understand that you're caught in the middle of all this, Agent Bristow. I can only offer my word. The sooner we know what she knows, the sooner you'll never have to speak to her again.", "(Barnett's office. Jack sits across from her.)", "BARNETT: We weren't scheduled to meet until Wednesday. Is everything all right?", "JACK: I'm here to talk about Sydney.", "BARNETT: Good. What's on your mind?", "JACK: I want your help in devising a strategy to persude Sydney not to interact with her mother.", "BARNETT: Why?", "JACK: Because Irina Derevko is an opportunistic sociopath who'll use whatever inroads she can make with my daughter to get what she wants.", "BARNETT: But have you considered that the more you'll keep her from her mother, the more you're going to spark her interest?", "JACK: Of course I have! Which is why I'm hoping to devise a strategy with the necessary subtlety.", "BARNETT: Well, I'm sorry, but I am not in the habit of helping a father manipulate his daughter. No matter how good his intentions may be.", "JACK: I see. And is your opinion here based on what's best for Sydney, or for the agency? Because the fact is if Sydney doesn't talk to Laura, the CIA learns nothing.", "BARNETT: So you still think of her as Laura, even though that was her alias.", "(Sydney walks down the hall and reaches the Hannibal cell.

She gets up and walks to the glass.)", "IRINA: Do you remember when you were six years old? I sent you to piano lessons. Your teacher was Ms. Adams.", "SYDNEY: We're not having this conversation.", "IRINA: You asked me a question, I'm giving you an answer. Do you remember the first thing Ms. Adams taught you about music?", "SYDNEY: She said music is like math. If you can count, you can play.", "IRINA: Every musical note has a corresponding frequency. Middle C, for example, vibrates at two hundred and sixty-one hertz. Which means any piece of music can be expressed as a series of numbers. Sark is looking for a music box designed by Rambaldi. The box plays a unique tune. Encoded within the tune there's an equation.", "SYDNEY: For what?", "IRINA: Zero-point energy - a fuel source. The military applications alone would be unlimited.", "SYDNEY: From a music box.", "IRINA: Of course the music can't play without the proper combination. Sark was working on deciphering it but I don't know whether he was successful.", "SYDNEY: Fine. Thank you.", "IRINA: Speaking of Ms. Adams... just before I left I remember her encouraging you to try out for your school's Thanksgiving play. You don't have to tell me if you don't want to, but in the twenty years since I last saw you I often wondered... what part did you play?", "SYDNEY: I don't remember. It was around the time I was told my mother had died. Everything else is a blur.", "(Sydney walks out.)", "(Outside Sydney and her dad meet.)", "JACK: I read Vaughn's debrief. I know you saw your mother. You okay?", "SYDNEY: Seeing her again, I'm realizing there are these gaps in my memory from around the time she left. Dad... do you remember the Thanksgiving play I was in that year in school? Because I sort of do. I mean, I have an impression of it, but I can't remember... was I a pilgrim or an indian...", "(Her dad stares off.)", "SYDNEY: What?", "JACK: You were neither. You were a turkey. You were the only turkey that was spared to celebrate the harvest.", "(She laughs, smiles, and then turns serious.)", "SYDNEY: I know you think it's dangerous for me to see Mom. But she's a means to an end. I don't take anything she says at face value.", "JACK: She won't expect you to. Sydney... I trust your judgment. You're doing fine.", "(Marshall's office. He has a briefcase on his desk and is showing Sydney.)", "MARSHALL: Okay, once you get through the launch site to the exhaust ducts, just press this button here and... voila!", "(He does so.

But tomorrow when you open up this briefcase you will be looking at a high-performance hydraulic luge.", "SYDNEY: How fast can I go?", "MARSHALL: About one fifty, which should get you through the launch facility's two-mile ducts in about, oooh, twelve seconds. Oh, you wnat to make sure you get out of there as fast as you can after you're done wiring the circuit board into the satellite because if you're stuck in the ducts when the rocket launches, then, well, boom. And I'd miss you.", "(Sloane's office. Sydney knocks and enters.)", "SYDNEY: You wanted to see me?", "SLOANE: Come in. I have something to give you.", "(He hands over a medium sized wooden box with carvings on the lid.)", "SLOANE: It's Emily's seed box. The lithography's original, circa 1910. Her mother gave it to her. Emily would want you to have it.", "SYDNEY: Thank you. I can't think of Emily without thinking of her garden.", "SLOANE: Well, neither can I.", "SYDNEY: I miss her, too.", "SLOANE: This office is where I feel most at home these days. At the house, I don't know, I seem to be paralyzed. If a stranger were to come to the house for the first time, they would think that Emily still lived there. Her clothes are in the closet. Her makeup on the vanity. The only thing that betrays this pretense of normalcy is her garden. Where roses once grew, they're gone now. Her garden seems to have died with her.", "SYDNEY: It's not your fault.", "(He looks up suddenly.

One more thing... we'd like to bring Will Tippin in for a follow-up on his debrief.", "SYDNEY: Why?!", "VAUGHN: Derevko told us that Sark has been working on cracking a combination that would activate the music box.", "SYDNEY: Yeah.", "VAUGHN: And we've been reviewing Tippin's statement and he reported falling in and out of consciousness on the flight to Taipei and vaguely remembers seeing Sark working at a laptop.", "SYDNEY: You're thinking, what, induced regression?", "VAUGHN: (nods) We have someone coming in from Langley.", "SYDNEY: So he can relive everything he went through!", "VAUGHN: If there were another option, Sydney, believe me, I'd take it.", "(At Francie and Sydney's, Will holds a beer and talks to Sydney near the kitchen.)", "SYDNEY: Listen, Will, the CIA wants to meet with you again.", "WILL: Why?", "SYDNEY: They can tell you better than I can, but here's your S.O.P.", "WILL: S.O.P.?", "SYDNEY: Standard operating procedure for a meet.

NICHOLAS: Five weeks ago you infiltrated one of your mother's labratories in Taipei where you discovered a Rambaldi device. How long were you in proximity to the device?", "SYDNEY: I... it took me about a minute to rig it with explosives. I made it to the other side of the door but Vaughn was submerged. I don't know, maybe another minute or two. Will someone please tell me what's going on?", "DR. NICHOLAS: We believe the device is the source of the virus that infected the men in Geneva. Unfortunately, you and Agent Vaughn may have been exposed. I'm sorry. We'd like to draw some blood and keep you under observation.", "SYDNEY: If Sloane pages me, this is gonna be a problem.", "DR.

NICHOLAS: Agent Bristow, your tests came back negative for antibodies, you're free to go. Agent Vaughn, your tests at this point are inconclusive.

Before we begin our inquiry, do you have anything to say?", "JACK: Only that despite my admission of guilt, I still firmly believe Irina Derevko is a threat and will prove it at her earliest possible convenience.", "SENATOR DOUGLAS: Is that how you justify lying to your superiors, endangering other agents?", "JACK: Yes.", "SENATOR DOUGLAS: Why this sudden change of heart?", "JACK: Deferentially, Senator, my reasons are my own.", "SENATOR DOUGLAS: I see. Reviewing your file, I was shocked to discover how many times you've displayed behavior that at best can be characterized as rogue. You have lost the benefit of the doubt here, sir, and your silence will not suffice. So again, I ask you, why the change of heart?", "JACK: My daughter convinced me that I acted unethically.", "SENATOR DOUGLAS: Isn't it a fact that you knew your daughter intended to turn you in and that you beat her to the punch only by an hour in order to secure a degree of leniency from this body?", "JACK: No, sir, that is not the case. (pause) Sydney Bristow, my daughter... has come to believe that when I look at her, I see the embodiment of all my flaws.

I'm sorry, Agent Bristow, but my colleagues and I have zero tolerance for anyone who would lie to their own government, especially in this day and age. And your mother?

If you burn me, I burn you.", "SARK: Sydney, I couldn't reveal to Sloane that you conspired to kill him without also revealing my involvement. Of course, I never had any intention of going through with it. I simply needed to gain his trust.", "SYDNEY: You know what I think? You're just a dog looking for a new master.", "SARK: No need to worry, Sydney, we're colleagues now.", "(She walks back to her vehicle.)", "SARK: I'll see you at the office.", "(Self-storage building.

Do you have any idea what they're after?", "JACK: Given the scope of Sark's previous contacts and operations, he could be offering almost anything. What concerns me more is that your mother knew we were double agents before she turned herself in. She may have told Sark.", "SYDNEY: I'll find out.", "JACK: Before you do, consider this -- two months ago she surrendered to the CIA. Yesterday, Sark made a back-door agreement with Sloane that places him inside SD-6. Do you belive that's just a coincidence?", "(SD-6 conference room with Dixon, Sydney, Sloane, Jack and Sark.)", "SLOANE: As you know, Mr. Sark surrendered to us last week. After an extensive debriefing with McCullough, we've concluded he can provide us with credible intel. Enough, in fact, to warrant an immunity deal in exchange for his cooperation.", "DIXON: Sir, I believe this decision is a critical mistake. This man has murdered hundreds of people for profit. We should not set the precedent of granting immunity to a terrorist no matter what he says he has to offer.", "SLOANE: Yes, well, I understand your frustration, Agent Dixon, but I believe that Sark's cooperation will save more lives than he's taken.", "SYDNEY: I'm with Dixon on this.", "SLOANE: We have developed a strategy to address your concerns.

I'm grateful to you for that but I haven't made up my mind yet if I should trust you.", "IRINA: And yet here you are. I never told Sark about your status as a double agent, Sydney. That doesn't mean you're safe. Tell me, what intelligence has he provided Sloane?", "(Flashback to the conference room.)", "SLOANE: Zoran Sokolov. A freelance mercenary who's had extensive dealings with Mr. Sark.", "SARK: Yes, he frequently offers me the chance to purchase intelligence before he brings it to the black market. Recently he asked me if I'd be interested in obtaining a set of communication codes used by Uzbekistan's ground forces along the border.", "SLOANE: If we don't obtain those codes Sokolov will sell them to extremist rebels hiding in neighboring Tajikistan. With those codes, they can track Uzbek troop movements and plan terrorist attacks. This would gravely destabilize our allies in Asia. Sydney, you and Dixon will make contact with this Sokolov. Posing as Sark's associates, you will purchase the codes and bring them here.", "(Back to Sydney's meet with Irina at her cell.)", "SYDNEY: We both know Sloane doesn't care about preserving stability in Asia so my question is why does he want those communication codes so badly?", "IRINA: I'm going to ask you to give me something you have no reason to give. I'm going to ask for your faith. You have to convince your superiors to let me leave this place.", "SYDNEY: What?!", "IRINA: For forty-eight hours.", "SYDNEY: Are you serious?", "IRINA: I'll agree to a special forces escort.", "SYDNEY: Why?", "IRINA: I cannot tell you that.", "SYDNEY: Go where?", "IRINA: If you do not trust me, I cannot help you later.", "SYDNEY: What are those codes for?", "IRINA: I'm trying to help you--", "SYDNEY: How am I going to sell this?", "IRINA: --but I must be allowed to do it MY way.", "SYDNEY: Yeah, well, it's asking too much!", "(BANG! Irina bangs against the glass.)", "IRINA: I cannot give you details because I don't trust the CIA. They almost had me executed two weeks ago. The only way for me to maintain my value is to tell you only what you need to know in order to stay ahead of Sloane.

And how does success or failure risk what we've been--", "SYDNEY: My mother's clearly worried about something else. Some unintended consequence that we can't predict.", "VAUGHN: Sir, thus far, Derevko's intel has been right one hundred percent of the time.", "SYDNEY: We didn't catch this woman. She turned herself in.", "(Kendall looks at Jack but he doesn't say anything.)", "SYDNEY: She's agreed to be escorted by a special forces team and wear a tracking device.

When it comes to Irina Derevko, my judgment's proven to be... impaired.", "KENDALL: Well, I would like your opinion.", "JACK: Perhaps they're right. Perhaps releasing her is worth the risk to satisfy our curiosity.", "KENDALL: Well, hell, when you put it that way, the answer's definitely no. If Irina Derevko wants out of here, she's going to have to tell us more. Otherwise, you're to proceed as planned. Agent Vaughn will give you your countermission.", "(He leaves.)", "SYDNEY: Thanks. You told Kendall your judgment wasn't to be trusted and then agreed with me to reinforce his doubt.", "JACK: Kendall's ego predisposes him to favor decisions in which he is overruling others. You argue your way, I'll argue mine.", "(He leaves.)", "VAUGHN: Your countermission's simple.

You've offered me a substantial prize to make our partnership worthwhile, but do not think for a second that gives you the right to insult my people.", "SARK: I apologize.", "(He turns and sees a monitor focusing on Sydney at her desk, drinking out of a coffee mug.)", "SARK: I had a run-in with Sydney Bristow this morning. She may be the only one who suspects I haven't in fact turned myself in.", "SLOANE: I've been a presence in Sydney's life since she was born.

When the smoke clears we can dig the warheads out of the rubble.", "IRINA: I wouldn't do that. Now that the PRF has the control codes, they may have set the warheads to detonate in the event of sabotage or a preemptive strike.", "VAUGHN: What about sending in a commando unit?", "IRINA: If they were familiar with the facility, I'd say it was a good idea.", "SYDNEY: That's what you were planning on doing.", "IRINA: Yes.", "JACK: That's impossible to verify.", "KENDALL: All right, Miss Derevko. You're going to lead us into that prison.", "IRINA: Oh, no, I'm not. My offer expired the moment the detonation codes were acquired.", "KENDALL: Do I have to remind you that your immunity deal is contingent upon your continued cooperation?", "IRINA: I have cooperated, Agent Kendall. You didn't listen. Now, if you'd bring me my pillow and blanket...", "KENDALL: No, you listen to me. I'm authorized to put you in solitary. You're lucky you have a view of this hallway!", "SYDNEY: Agent Kendall... may I speak to my mother alone please?", "(They leave. Jack lingers for a moment and then reluctantly leaves.)", "IRINA: Sydney, I'm sorry.", "SYDNEY: You said you didn't tell us the truth because you were trying to protect me, because you didn't want to risk Sark finding out that I was a double agent. The thing is, someone now has the ability to detonate six nuclear weapons and I am responsible. So I am going to be part of the team that finds and disarms those warheds no matter what you do. But if you were telling the truth when you said you wanted to protect me, then, Mom... I need your help.", "(Irina tears up.)", "(Upstairs, Sydney types at a computer. Jack approaches.)", "JACK: You convinced your mother to go to Kashmir.", "SYDNEY: I told her if she didn't lead the team to the warheads, I would. I handed those codes to SD-6.", "JACK: Your guilt is unfounded. You were doing your job.", "SYDNEY: I'm going, Dad. Defense approved it.", "JACK: I am not about to let Irina Derevko near six nuclear weapons supervised only by you.", "SYDNEY: Plane leaves in an hour.", "(Jack walks inside Irina's cell holding a small box. She turns around and sees him with his back turned to her. He takes out a pretty silver necklace.)", "JACK: Obviously you can't maintain your cover if you're shackled. So there are two things you need to know about this necklace. One, it's layered with C-4. If you remove it while it's armed, you'll break the circuit and it will detonate. And two, if at any moment I believe you're attempting to escape or sabotage us, I'll activate this remote trigger...", "(He points to a small button on his watch.)", "JACK: ...and blow your head off myself.", "(Irina lifts her hair. Jack awkwardly steps forward and puts the necklace on her. Their faces inches apart, they stare at each other. She drops her hair. Sydney, Kendall, Vaughn and two other agents enter the cell. Jack steps away.)", "KENDALL: All right, here's how this works. Derevko will detail your infiltration into the facility once you reach it. Until then, you have operational control.", "(Jack nods.)", "KENDALL: The unrest in Kashmir has caused both Pakistan and India to seal their borders so you'll board a train in New Delhi. There's a three-mile stretch of track that passes through the eastern tip of Kashmir. That's where you'll get off.

Why aren't you willing to do the same for your own happiness?", "JACK: I hardly think you've earned the right to give anyone relationship advice.", "IRINA: Jack, Sydney's smart and she's strong, but she's not happy.", "SYDNEY: Okay, wait a second, this--", "JACK: And after a twenty-year absence you've gleamed that from the cumulative half-hour you've spent in her presence?", "IRINA: I knew it the moment I saw her. I'm her mother.", "JACK: Your motherhood is a biological fact with no substantive value in Sydney's life!", "SYDNEY: Hey! (to Irina) Stop baiting him. (to Jack) And stop being such an easy target.

Like, I don't know, maybe I went through all this crap for a reason.", "VAUGHN: (re: the magazine) What is this?", "WILL: I know you can't pay me, it doesn't matter. You're looking at forty names. Those are forty kids that got a perfect score on the standardized test that included the Project Christmas questions.", "VAUGHN: How did you get this?", "WILL: Between '80 and '85, Carnegie Mellon conducted a cultural bias study on standardized testing. Not only did they have the results, but they cross-referenced them by name and ethnicity.", "VAUGHN: The FBI has been trying to narrow down a list of kids for as long as you have and so far they haven't come up with a single name.", "WILL: That's probably because they don't know that the test records from '82 were missing from the testing service archives.", "VAUGHN: What do you mean, they're missing?

The lab's the better bet because its security system is more sophisticated.", "JACK: So we check the vault first.", "IRINA: Not if we only get one shot. The lab has thermal sensors to detect intruders through their body heat. If we raise the room to body temperature -- 98.6 degrees -- the sensors won't be able to distinguish between us and the thermostat level of the lab. Sydney, you'll get to the central heating control panel here. (draws) It's located in a room near the stairwell in the sub-basement.

You were an office here in this facility, you've got friends here willing to work with you.", "IRINA: Friends? You know what this place was when I was here, Jack? A prison. Where the KGB interrogated suspected traitors and no, I wasn't an office here. I was a prisoner. Why do you think I learned the sewage tunnels or memorized the mine locations?

Can you tell us how you infiltrated Dr. Markovic's organization?", "LENNOX: We were hired on as freelance security expoerts at his villa in Berlin.

In that capacity, she was privy to a phone conversation between Markovic and someone she believed to be his superior in which they indicated Project Helix was ready for testing.", "KENDALL: Are you saying that Markovic answers to someone else?", "LENNOX: That was Agent Wallace's impression based on the conversation.

Like cloning?", "JACK: Not exactly.", "SYDNEY: So you're saying the man we rescued isn't Agent Lennox.", "JACK: It's possible.", "SYDNEY: So who is he?", "JACK: Based on our intel, the procedure's first recipient was the man who created the technology. Dr. Markovic.", "SYDNEY: There is no way the man we have in custody is Dr. Markovic.", "VAUGHN: I know it sounds insane but as we were analyzing the news footage, Phillips noticed the interference of an RF signal which helped narrow our search.

Men like Osama bin Laden could simply be made to look like someone else.", "KENDALL: And clearly that is not something we can afford to have adversised on the blackmarket.", "SYDNEY: How is this possible without obvious scarring?", "JACK: The procedure isn't surgical. A patient's genetic code is altered to reshape their physical attributes.", "SYDNEY: Is it reversible?", "JACK: It's unclear. It only works on people of a certain genetic disposition and the recipient must be induced into a comotose state for several days while their cells regenerate.

They smash the back door off the Focus and Sark opens the back door of the van. The driver has a gun aimed at Sydney. Sark helps Sloane move out of the car, into the van.

Are you telling me you think I made the wrong choice?", "VAUGHN: I think we should just stick to what we know. Sloane is holding Neil Caplan hostage for the purpose of building some sort of a weapon. And presumably, what he took from Amcorp is helping him do that.", "SYDNEY: But, see, we don't know that because we lost Sloane. And the reason we lost Sloane is because he had something we didn't -- satellite surveillance! And if we'd tasked one bird to follow him after we defused the bomb we would have him by now!", "KENDALL: Our satellites were tasked elsewhere at the time.", "SYDNEY: See, that's my point! We didn't take advantage of the situation.", "KENDALL: No, we prioritized!", "SYDNEY: What's the point of strategizing if we're not willing to do everything--", "KENDALL: We're doing everything we can do!", "SYDNEY: No, we're not!

Meanwhile Irina and another crucial Rambaldi manuscript-this one about the secret of eternal life-are used as bait to try to catch Sloane.

Sydney also welcomes Dixon to the CIA." ]

So I've been investigating on my own for the past six months. I couldn't wait for the agency's red tape so I contacted everyone I could, anyone who knew her, who ran in the same circles.

I'm giving you this consideration because when Sydney makes contact with you again, you're going to tell me exactly where she is.", "VAUGHN: If I had known what she was doing, I would have tried to stop her but now that she's gone, there's nothing we can do to change her mind.

It was a small price to pay for servicing the motherland. At first everything went as planned. Then--surely an accident--you got pregnant.

Camera pans across the room, where Vaughn is sitting hunched against the scorched wall. He looks up briefly at Dixon as if to acknowledge his presence and then looks back down at the draped tarp. A close up of his face reveals Vaughn is crying, looking completely devestated.) Will survived...but you... they found remains. The DNA...was a match. You were dead. You were dead.", "Sydney: And...you got married.", "Vaughn: I did. They asked me to come to Hong Kong...the Agency. They thought it would be best if you were reintroduced by someone from your life before.", "Sydney: They could have sent my father. He's CIA, he's from my life before.", "Vaughn: I can't answer that. I chose not to stay with the CIA after your death.", "Sydney: You're not with the Agency?", "Vaughn: No... I'm a teacher.", "(Sydney gets up to stand next to the desk in the room)", "Sydney (looking distraught): This is, uh...gonna take me a while.", "Vaughn: They want me to bring you back. I mean, you can imagine the kind of investigation that's being called...", "(Vaughn gets up to stand in front of Sydney)", "Sydney: Hell of a way to wake up. How much time do I have before I have to go?", "Vaughn (looking down at watch): They said they want you back...", "(Sydney grabs a lamp from the desk and whacks Vaughn on the side of the head with the base. While he's bent over, she wraps the cord of the lamp around his neck, strangling him.)", "Sydney: I don't know who the hell you are, but you are not Vaughn, you son of a bitch! Tell me who the hell you're working for... is it Sloane!?", "(Sydney throws Vaughn against the wall, still strangling him)", "Sydney: Tell me you're working for Sloane!", "(Sounds outside the door alert Sydney to the presence of a guard entering. She elbows Vaughn in the temple and drops him to the floor. The door to the room opens and Sydney kicks a chair at the attacker, then roundhouses the door shut on him. Then she punches the guard. She turns around to see Vaughn getting up and she kicks him in the stomach, sending him flying across the room. Sydney runs down the hallway and out into the alley, where she finds herself surrounded by a guard on either side of the alley, both with guns trained on her. She kneels, as if submitting, but when the guard behind her goes to grab her wrists, she grabs him and flings him at the other guard. She takes on each guard one at a time, first with fists and hands, then with a broomstick and a metal garbage can cover. Just as she takes out the last guard with the can cover, we hear a \"pfft\" sound. Sydney turns and a dart is revealed sticking out of her shoulder. We see Vaughn at the end of the alley, dart gun still raised against Sydney. Sydney gives Vaughn a look of utter betrayal as the tranquilizer starts to work. As she sinks to her knees, Vaughn lowers the gun and walks closer.)", "Sydney (as Vaughn comes closer): Don't... (as if she can't stand the look of concern on his face, because she thinks he's not him) Don't do...

You're home again.", "(Cut to Sydney, still looking bewildered and shocked)", "Dixon: There are no words to make this easy. It was Vaughn who came for you in Hong Kong. And what he told you was the truth.", "(Sydney sits up in bed)", "Sydney: Dixon... What happened to me?", "Dixon: We don't know.", "Sydney: Where's my father? Or...or my mom... Have you heard from her since Mexico City? Vaughn said Will's alive. If there was a fire in my apartment, if he thought I was dead, then how did Will survive? Where is he?", "Dixon: Sydney...", "Sydney: And Francie...is she dead? Did they find her body, too?", "Dixon: I know you have a million questions, but...", "Sydney: I have a lot more than a million questions! I which I only had a million questions!", "Dixon: You're going to have to be patient. I'll talk to the...", "Sydney: I can't be patient! I woke up like it was one night! I have a scar on my stomach I have never seen before... You're telling me two years have passed, and I have to be patient!?", "Dixon: Listen to me, Sydney... You have to relax.", "Sydney: I think I deserve to know what happened to the people in my life! Where the hell is Kendall!?

You lost weight?", "Weiss: Oh, thanks, yeah. I sorta gave up all the foods that I enjoy. I'm miserable, but I look really good. (to Dixon) Uh, we got something.", "Dixon: I need just a minute.

A young blond woman sits across from him, listening to a CD. She smiles apologetically at him and shows him the CD case. He smiles back and nods. The door to the car opens. Two men step inside and begin systematically shooting everyone in the car. The woman across from Kingsley gets shot and she gets up in a panic to run and is shot again. Kingsley leans over, readying a gun he has hidden under the seat. Kingsley returns fire and then flees to the next car. He looks up to see two men enter the new car from the other direction.

What you are suggesting is premature...", "Lindsay: Perhaps if you'd listen to what I'm suggesting...certainly not that we throw Ms. Bristow back in the field...", "Dixon: Look, I've experienced trauma myself. Returning to the field prematurely is as bad as not being trained at all!", "Sydney: Okay, excuse me...but I am standing right here! (to Lindsay) I think I might be helpful in Paris.

You met him?", "Sydney: Yes.", "Jack: He discovered that I was collaborating with your mother, so he threatened me, questioned my allegiance to this country.

Do you understand me?", "Sydney: Yes...", "Jack: The only way to do that is by getting your CIA clearance restored, having access to my private files, getting back...", "Sydney: Dad, I don't think I can do this without you.", "Jack: We both know that's not true, and you have no choice anyway. The CIA, I am certain, is dubious about your return, somehow you must get them to trust you again.

And, let me just...say for the record that I'm gonna be your friend in there, and if you need someone to talk to, or if you need someone, like, a shoulder to cry on...I just want to be there for you.", "(Sydney smiles, truly happy and touched.)", "Sydney: Oh, tomorrow's going to be fine.", "(They clink glasses.

The screen focuses as it pans to show us Sydney, walking through the office. She's obviously looking around for Vaughn and Lauren. The camera watches a blond woman walking with a man from the back, but it's obvious to us it's not Vaughn, so we cut back to Sydney as she heads toward the briefing room. She rounds the corner... and there are Vaughn and Lauren. They notice her; she puts on a brave face and smiles back. (Song ends here) )", "Vaughn: Hi.", "Sydney: Hi.", "Vaughn (he's tense...everyone is): You've met Lauren?", "Sydney: Yes.", "Lauren: Hi.", "Sydney: Hello, again.", "Lauren: Sorry again about yesterday. I should have said something...", "Sydney: No, it was my fault. You had no idea; I was the one that stormed in", "Lauren: Anyway", "Sydney: Sorry.", "(There is an uncomfortable silence growing between them. From behind Sydney we hear approaching footsteps. Sydney turns and it's Marshall.)", "Marshall: Syd.", "Sydney: Marshall Hi.", "Marshall: Uh, listen, I made you a, um, mixed CD of all of the most popular songs over the past few years. (Sydney looks over at Lauren with an embarrassed smile. We can see that the look on her face when she turns back to Marshall says she so wishes that Marshall wasn't doing this here in front of Lauren and Vaughn.)Not so you can listen to all the impossible boy bands they keeps churning out with except for J.T..Timberlake that guy can move (cut to Vaughn. He doesn't look amused) whatever But more importantly, because it's scientifically proven that sounds trigger the CA3 region of the Hippocampus in the, you know long-term memory.", "Sydney: Thank you.", "(Sydney uncomfortably fingers the CD case while Lauren and Vaughn also look tensely at Marshall. Marshall leans in toward them as if he's telling a secret and says with a singsong voice)", "Marshall: Awkward!", "Sydney: Marshall (shakes her head slightly, as if to say \"Now is not a good time...\")", "(Dixon and Weiss enter the conference room. Dixon's talking, signaling the start of the meeting.)", "Dixon: Earlier today, 4:47pm Moscow time, Russia's early warning system was activated.", "(Dixon crosses to his chair at the conference table and sits. Everyone else moves to sit also. Vaughn sits next to Lauren who sits next to Marshall on one side of the table; Sydney sits between Dixon and Weiss on the other.)", "Dixon: They assumed it was an incoming missile attack. It wasn't a missile. It was a satellite that had fallen from orbit. As a result of the perceived attack, the Russian president activated his nuclear briefcase, initiating a countdown to a prelaunch sequence. With two minutes to spare, they attained visual ID, and scrubbed the launch. Ten minutes later, Echelon picked up a call from a secure line between Sark and this man (cut to photo of a man in a military uniform that was appearing on their computer screens) Colonel Boris Oransky; dishonorably discharged in '96 from Russia's military space command. Since then, he's worked for a privately held French contractor. It was their satellite.", "Vaughn: Oransky brought down his own satellite? Do we have any idea why?", "Dixon: Not yet but on the phone call, he and Sark discussed meeting to move on to ‘Phase Two'. We've tracked Sark to Mexico City. We've ordered a team of local agents to surveille him.", "Sydney: If we're gonna grab Sark, I'd like to be on that team.", "Dixon: It isn't our intention to grab Sark.", "(Sydney's eyes widen at this news. She can't believe it.)", "Lauren: The NSC believes we may learn more about the Covenant by tracking Sark's movement in the hope he'll lead us to the Covenant's key players.", "(Sydney is not thrilled with this plan and it shows on her face.)", "Sydney: That's fine in theory, except that I guarantee that within five minutes of that meeting, we will have lost Sark. It's happened before.", "Lauren: You know, within that last two years, our surveillance capabilities have become far more sophisticated.", "Sydney: I may have missed a lot in the last two years I mean, quite a bit but the fact that Sark is already aligned with an organization outwardly hostile to the United States, and apparently Russia indicates", "Lauren (starts to speak over Sydney): As I was going to explain to you, (Cut to Weiss, starting to look uncomfortable with the developments between Sydney and Lauren) our optical satellite resolution has increased dramatically. We have real-time face recognition Sydney (cutting Lauren off, starting to get angry.): All the technology in the world can't and won't fix our problem. It's the people we need to stop! (Cut to Vaughn, who looks really uncomfortable now) Sark, for example Now, I'm familiar with the strategy you're suggesting the CIA employed it against SD-6, and I saw that", "(Even Dixon is now looking uncomfortably between the two women.)", "Lauren (Cutting Sydney off, she's pretty heated now): The risks you are describing have already been factored into our analysis. And as for SD-6 the Alliance doesn't exist anymore Sydney (with an ‘okay, that's it!' attitude): Well, the only reason that SD-6 and the Alliance broke down is because Arvin Sloane, a man the White House pardoned by the way, wanted them to! So, do me a favor, and don't revise history that I lived through!", "Vaughn: All right, enough! Sark was an inch away from initiating a nuclear exchange and that was only Phase One. Capturing Sark, while it might put a smile on my face, will do nothing to shut down the Covenant.", "(Sydney looks down, not happy, but quiet for the moment. Lauren also is quiet, assessing Sydney unhappily from across the table.)", "Dixon: For the moment, Sark remains free. Sydney, Weiss I want you to track Sark to that meeting with Oransky. (Vaughn and Lauren exchange a look) Standard surveillance operation let's see if we can get some info on their “Phase Two”. You leave in an hour.", "(Cut to Lauren stalking out of the conference room and around the corner into a hallway, Vaughn following close behind.

Vaughn stops, facing her. Vaughn's defense of Sydney doesn't make Lauren any happier.)", "Lauren: I've been on eggshells for two weeks since Sydney came back: trying not to say the wrong thing, trying to imagine what it's like for her I am done!", "Vaughn: Lauren", "Lauren: Sydney Bristow is self-righteous and arrogant!", "Vaughn: She just lost two years of her life.", "Lauren: Was she any nicer two years ago!? Because she's the most condescending person I have ever met!", "Vaughn: I understand why you have a problem with her.", "Lauren: No she's the one with the problem! I'm not going to apologize because I remember the last 24 months, or because I'm married to the man that I love!", "Vaughn: You're reacting emotionally.", "Lauren: No, I'm reacting intelligently, as I expected Sydney to. She's been gone two years, you'd think she'd listen to someone instead of talking all over them! She's horrible!", "Vaughn (moving closer, taking hold of Lauren gently by both forearms): Okay, stop. (letting go) This was Sydney's first briefing. Give her a minute! I mean, the way things are, no one would blame you if the two of you hated each other But I actually believe that you'll end up respecting her you might even like her.", "(Lauren appears to be considering what Vaughn has said. Her anger has been diffused. Vaughn leans in and kisses her lightly on the mouth.)", "Vaughn: Just remember that I love you.", "(Lauren smiles.)", "(Cut to Sydney leaving the conference room down a different hallway. She's approached by Jack, who falls into step with her.)", "Jack: How was the first briefing with Lauren?", "Sydney (sarcastically): Wonderful.", "Jack: I'm not asking because I'm a fan of interoffice gossip; tell me how it went.", "(Sydney looks at Jack, worried, wondering where he's going with this.)", "Sydney: Why?", "Jack: Did she seem aggressive toward you?", "Sydney: Yes as I'm sure I did to her. What is this about?", "Jack: In here (bringing her into the flirting corner) Now that Lazarey's murder has been linked to the Covenant, the NSC has convened their own investigation into his death.", "Sydney: You don't think they know?", "Jack: That you're the murderer? Not yet. But they've just received some footage, apparently of the crime.", "Sydney: How?", "Jack: Another camera security, from across the street. And as our current bad luck would have it, the NSC's assigned this investigation to Vaughn's wife.", "Sydney: I know what you're thinking, but the longer we withhold this information from them, the more guilty I seem The NSC and the CIA are going to learn that I killed Lazarey", "Jack: And when they do, the NSC will not hesitate to subject you to every available procedure in order to capture your memory", "Sydney: So let them. Dad, I am losing my mind not knowing what happened to me, and if someone out there, someone has the answer", "Jack: The techniques that would be employed to stimulate your memory are invasive surgical, dangerous procedures that could leave you with permanent brain damage. That is not happening to you; not as long as I'm alive. Sydney, we've discussed this. You need to stay focused; you have to do your job. Reintegrating into the CIA is the only way you're going to get the answers you're looking for. I've already talked with Lauren; I told her I might be able to help the investigation. She's agreed to let me see the footage. You'll go to Mexico City; I'll do what I can to ensure this remains our secret.", "(Jack turns and walks off. Cut to black. Cut to credits. End of Act One.)", "(Flyover of LA by day. Cut to Marshall's gadget room. He's sitting in front of his workbench. He's just reached over and grabbed a coffee cup and drinks from it.

It's Jack and Lauren.)", "Jack: Marshall any luck?", "Marshall: Uh, yeah, actually (he slides his rolling chair over to a computer terminal) And considering it's from a Russian security camera, you know I was expecting static, instead it's pretty good.", "(Cut to Lauren and then to the monitor. There is a view from the outside of the building into Lazarey's office. The video sharpness is grainy and poor. Blond Sydney has her back to the camera. They watch as Sydney attacks Lazarey from behind.

It gets to a certain point and then .)", "Lauren: Freeze there.", "(Marshall freezes the feed at the moment that Sydney's face is visible to the camera.)", "Lauren: Blow up that frame, please.", "(Marshall hones in on Sydney's face and enlarges it. Her face is just a large mass of enlarged pixels. She is not recognizable.)", "Lauren: Not enough to make a positive ID, is it?", "(Jack looks apprehensively at Lauren.)", "Marshall: Well, not like this. I'm not surprised that the Russians haven't made a match. Their imaging programs generate pixel interpretation using Bayesian analysis.", "(Jack gives a worried sideways glance at Marshall.

He closes his mouth and sets his jaw to prepare himself. Sydney stabs Vaughn in the lower torso, a clean in and out motion. Vaughn gasps and doubles over, his face clearly registering the pain. He groans as he slides to the ground. Sydney purses her lips tightly, struggling to keep her emotions in check. We hear gurgling noises coming from Vaughn. Once Vaughn's on the ground and Sydney steps away from him, Walker comes forward and kicks Vaughn roughly, and Vaughn tumbles end over end into the ravine. Sydney stares down the hill into the ravine, watching Vaughn's body as it tumbles and comes to a rest down near the bottom. The others start to move, but she still stands there staring.

[ "Sydney and Jack visit the co-ordinates from the coded message and find a box containing the hand of a Rambaldi follower. Lauren returns to the CIA, claiming to have been captured by The Covenant who are asking for the Rambaldi Device in exchange for Sydney. Sydney visits Dr Brezzel, a neuro-researcher who specializes in dream memory state. Sydney is put into a drug-induced dream state and awakens in an ambulance with Vaughn watching over her. Vaughn explains that Will is going to be okay and that Francie was really Alison Doren. Sydney realizes that she is in the past and that Vaughn isn't married. Suddenly, Vaughn changes into Sloane, who tells Sydney that she is dreaming. He then pushes her back to her apartment, representing her last memory before her amnesia. She enters her own dream and witnesses herself being taken away. Suddenly, she is experiencing her seventh birthday party, and the name St Aidan is on the cake. Lazarey appears and Sydney cuts off his hand instead of the cake. Sydney then enters a building where her unconscious body is taken inside doors marked with the number 47. She meets Lauren, who then attacks her. Sydney says \"You were part of this\" but then suffers a heart failure in real life. She is resuscitated by the Doctor. Lindsey meets Sloane, who claims to have confirmation of The Covenant's involvement in Sydney's capture. Lindsey asks Sloane for an assassin who can kill Sydney during the exchange. Lindsey shows Sloane proof that he knows Sloane's endgame. Lauren matches the DNA from the hand with Lazarey, but the hand was alive only four months ago, so Sydney did not kill Lazarey. Sydney enters the dream state again and is in a car with Dixon. The name St Aidan appears again. Sydney meets herself in her dream and her alternate self tells her to trust Lazarey. They fight each other and Sydney shoots herself. She enters Room 47 and utters \"Oh my god!\"." ]

It's liberating, uh, oddly. Well in any event, one night, month eleven of my motionlessness, something obvious occurred to me. Our dreams are both apriori and apostiori, which means that our dreams contain our memories, which means there's a shared reservoir.

We still don't know who the hand belongs to.", "Syd: In my dream, it was my birthday. I was seven. When I cut the cake I looked down and I was cutting off his hand.", "Jack: Whose hand? Did you see his face?", "Syd: Yes, I did.", "Vaughn: Who was it?", "Syd: Lazarey. Why would I dream I was cutting off the hand of a man I murdered?", "Jack: Forensics analysis leads Marshall to believe that whoever this hand belonged to was alive as recently as four months ago.", "Syd: Well then it couldn't have been Lazarey because I killed him last year.", "Jack: Unless you didn't.", "Syd: What? I was on the videotape. It was me! I slashed his throat!", "Jack: Unless you didn't. It could have been a performance.", "Vaughn: Lazarey was a Russian diplomat. The Russians must have typed his DNA.

I'm looking for someone trained in wetwork. In particular, dead shot with a long-range rifle. I plan on making the trade. During the exchange, I want Sydney Bristow taken out.", "Sloane: Why make the trade? It's very simple, have the Covenant end her life.", "Lindsey: Because I want assurance that Sydney Bristow is eliminated.", "Sloane: Ah, I see. She has something on you, does she?", "Lindsey: If she's hit by a sniper, it will appear as though it's a Covenant double-cross.", "Sloane: Well, with all due respect Mr. Director, what guarantee do I have that this isn't some form of entrapment?", "Lindsey: Because I know what you're up to, Mr. Sloane.

[ "During the recap, Rambaldi's prophecy is repeated: \"This woman here depicted will possess unseen marks, signs that she will be the one to bring forth my works. At vulgar cost this woman will render the greatest power unto utter desolation.\" The Rambaldi Cube is taken by the Department for Special Research but is hijacked by The Covenant. Sydney is kidnapped by FBI Assistant Director Kendall, who admits that he knows what happened during Sydney's missing years but had not revealed this information because Sydney had requested him not to do so. Kendall explains that Sydney was believed to have died and they had found remains of a body matching her DNA. Nine months later, Kendall had received a call from Sydney who had just escaped from The Covenant and wanted to return. Sydney met with Kendall and told her story. After shooting Alison Doren, Sydney had awoken in a van, with her mouth taped and held captive by a man named Oleg. Together they watched Sydney's memorial service. Oleg explained that Alison Doren had been replaced with Francie's body and that Sydney's death had been faked by extracting pulp from her teeth and injecting it into her replacement corpse before burning it. Sydney recognizes Oleg as the man she killed in Hong Kong a week after waking up. Kendall explains that Sydney was taken to a Covenant facility, spent six months being brainwashed and murdered a man as a test of loyalty. However, Kendall explains that, as a child, Sydney had been a part of Project Christmas, a CIA program to train and prepare children for intelligence work. The program contains a failsafe to prevent subjects from being turned. This gave her the ability to withstand brainwashing. Sydney had wanted to escape The Covenant, but Kendall had persuaded her to return, lest her friends and family be at risk. Sydney resumed the role of Julia Thorne, keeping Kendall informed of her activities. The Covenant had wanted Sydney to obtain information about the Rambaldi cube from Lazarey and then kill him. Instead, Sydney helped fake Lazarey's death. Kendall explains that he has always been working for Special Research, collecting Rambaldi artifacts and that Sydney is still believed to be The Chosen One. The Covenant had wanted both Sydney and the Cube to fulfill Rambaldi's prophecy. Sydney tracked down the Cube to a cave in Namibia, where Lazarey used 12 keys he had collected over 30 years. However, Sydney had to amputate Lazarey's hand, which had become trapped. Kendall had then received a DVD where Sydney explains that she is going to have her memory of the past two years erased so that the location of Rambaldi's DNA can be kept a secret. She also asked Kendall to keep this information secret from herself if she returns. Kendall explains that followers of Rambaldi's prophecy believe that Rambaldi's DNA can be used to fertilize the egg of a surrogate mother, who is referenced in his prophecy as The Chosen One. Sydney then looks down at a scar on her abdomen and realizes that her eggs had been stolen and that Rambaldi's child would also be her own. A mission is mounted to retrieve the Cube, which Marshall had secretly tracked. Dixon accompanies them, revealing that he had also known the truth about Sydney's disappearance. They enter the building, overcome opposition and Sydney, against Kendall's orders, burns the equipment and the test tubes bearing her name. They find Lazarey, but Sark escapes and transmits a message telling someone to take care of his father. Lazarey asks Sydney if she knows about The Passenger but is then killed by a sniper. The sniper is Vaughn's wife, Lauren." ]

[ "Fade in on a shot of the cube from above. The camera pulls out as a pair of black tongs snap secure around the vial inside and pluck it out. Marshall's corner is cluttered with a team of people, two in white jackets that identity them as lab scientists, the rest in suits. One white-jacketed man is taking photographs while a suited man looks on. The camera pans on to see various other activities of investigation transpire in slow motion. The camera secures on a short haired woman, who closes the cube back up and crosses the room, snuggling the artifact inside a small black case.", "Cut to Marshall. He's sitting at his desk, bored, building a pyramid out of playing cards. He balances one on top as he continues to build.", "Sydney: (voice over) Marshall, have you analyzed the cube? Marshall looks up as Sydney approaches with a look that shows he's less than thrilled with this recent development.", "Marshall: I wish. (beat) The jerks are here.", "Sydney: What?", "Marshall: Pretentious classified division of intelligence. You know the type, conspiracy theorist's wet dream.", "Sydney: I don't understand.", "Marshall: Oh but that's the point. Who they are exactly is on a need to know basis. Suffice to say their jurisdiction on this supersedes ours so well they have a convoy here. (lowers voice to a whisper) They're taking the cube away.", "Cut to Sydney. She's not too happy with this, either.", "Sydney: Wait, wait, taking it where?", "Marshall: If I knew, I'd go there. You know, I should probably put a tracer on the cube and track it back to their lab. Imagine how cool that place would be.", "Cut to Sydney. She wants answers, and she wants them now. Eyeing the departing convoy, she turns away to leave.", "Marshall: (waving) I'm just kidding, you know.", "Cut to hallway. The convoy from the DSR is walking down the hall, all business. Sydney comes in from a side and falls in step with the apparent leader of the group.", "Sydney: Excuse me, I'm Sydney Bristow, I'm the one who recovered that cube. May I ask what you're doing?", "Leader: We've been sent to retrieve the artifact for analysis.", "Sydney: Sent by whom? We follow the group through the hallway into an open area.", "Leader: The Department for Special Research.", "Sydney: You're DSR.", "Leader: We're a division, yes.", "Sydney: May I ask where you're taking it? The leader of the group brushes past Sydney, obviously finished with this conversation.", "Leader: No, you may not. He leaves Sydney in his tracks looking a bit angry and annoyed at his lack of cooperation.", "Sydney: (voice over) This is unacceptable.", "Cut to Sydney and Jack in an empty office, talking. Sydney's upset, angry at what's happened, her father's council something she needed after being blindsided by the DSR team. We move up close on her as she speaks.", "Sydney: Every time we get close to my missing two years, the door gets slammed in my face.", "Cut to Jack as Sydney leans up against the desk.", "Jack: I know. We switch back to Sydney.", "Sydney: Lazary knew what happened to me. He led me to that cube. And before we just handed it off, I at least wanted Marshall to finish his review. He could have found some clues.", "Cut to Jack.", "Jack: Sydney, listen to me. We've broken at least a dozen federal laws in pursuit of what happened to you. If necessary, we'll break a dozen more. But for now, there's nothing we can do.", "Sydney: We can bring Dixon into the loop She's reaching, and they both know it.", "Jack: This wasn't his call. The order to remove the cube came from Langley.", "Sydney: There has to be something we can do.", "Jack: We need to revaluate every piece of information we've collected. Start from the beginning. Assume nothing. Do that, and we may find a lead.", "Cut to nighttime aerial shot of LA. A siren sounds in the background.", "Cut to Sydney's bedroom. She's sitting on her bed, files splayed out in front of her as she goes over what information they have. She pauses, picks up a file, and hears a crash somewhere in the house. A dog barks. She gets up, reaches into her drawer, and grabs a gun. With it held up in front of her, she walks around the house, investigating, looking in every corner. A shadow moves across the wall. She checks the backyard and comes back inside. Suddenly, she's hit with a tranquilizer dart and goes down. As she falls, we see the yellow dart in her back, then a masked man in black still holding his tranquilizer gun, standing just inside the front door to her home. The sound of a jet flying fades in as we cut to a shot of a jet taking off.", "Cut to a shot of Sydney sleeping. Her eyelids flutter as she starts to awaken. Swiftly alert, she gingerly sits up and runs a hand over her hair, smoothing it down. Looking around the jet, trying to figure out where she is, her eyes widen as they take in Kendall sitting in a seat across the plane, obviously having been waiting for her to wake up. She takes in a breath.", "Kendall: Good to see you. Cut back to Sydney. She's surprised.", "Sydney: Kendall. She slowly stands. Cut back to Kendall.", "Kendall: I'm sorry we had to do it this way. Back to Sydney, who's trying to work through everything in her head.", "Sydney: You're part of this?", "Kendall: Well, that all depends on which part you're referring to.", "Sydney: You're Covenant.", "Kendall: No, no no, that wouldn't go over too well at home. Quick cut to Sydney, who doesn't appear to be buying any of this.", "Kendall: I'm with Special Research. (beat) I had a team transporting the Rambaldi cube to our facility, and they were ambushed in transit. He's upset, but not showing that much. Sydney nods, slightly.", "Sydney: The Covenant got the cube. She sits, dejected as the both of them reflect on this. She thinks a moment longer, then:", "Sydney: What does any of this have to do with me? Kendall gets up from his seat and crosses the distance between them, taking a seat near her.", "Kendall: (as he moves) It has everything to do with you. (beat, he sits) We need to talk about the past two years. Sydney's surprised he's asking her about it, and cocks her head to the side.", "Sydney: (harshly) As you may be aware, Mr. Kendall, I have no recollection of that time.", "Kendall: But I do. There's a long moment as his words sink in, and she lets him continue.", "Kendall: I know what happened to you Sydney. I know the whole story. (beat, offhand) Or most of it.", "Sydney: (accusatory) You've known all this time", "Kendall: (interjecting, a whisper) Yep.", "Sydney: Then why haven't you said anything? He knows what he's going to say, but waits a moment as if purposely trying to drive her mad.", "Kendall: Because you asked me not to. It's a bombshell to Sydney, and we move off her shocked expression as we –", "Cut to opening End Teaser Here's the next act!", "ACT ONE", "We fade in on the plane in the sky. Cut to a palm scanner.", "Kendall: (VO) Put your hand on the scanner.", "Cut to Sydney's hand being placed on a palm scanner. She speaks as it scans her hand.", "Sydney: I need clearance to hear about my own life? Pull back to face Sydney from Kendall's POV. He rattles off the next line dryly, trying to get it out of the way so he can start talking.", "Kendall: You understand the information you're about to hear is top secret, and any unauthorized disclosure is a violation of section 23, paragraph 5 of the patriot act?", "Sydney: Yes.", "Kendall: Before we get started, I'm curious about how you found the cube. What led you to it? Sydney shakes her head and speaks lightly.", "Sydney: You've got to be kidding me. (beat) Start at the beginning and do it all, I'm all out of patience.", "Cut to Kendall. He sighs. During his next line, we switch from Kendall to Sydney several times as the weight of his words hit their emotions.", "Kendall: You died. (long pause) Or at least we believed you did. We found a body in your apartment. The existing DNA matched your own. And I went to your memorial service myself. Watched Vaughn spread your ashes in the sea. Nine months went by. One day, I got a phone call. Flashback. Kendall walking slow-mo in the JTF answering the phone.", "Kendall: (VO) It was your voice.", "Cut to exterior shot of Rome.", "Kendall: (VO) You were calling from Rome.", "Cut to Sydney, with long bleached blond hair speaking into a pay phone.", "Kendall: (VO) You said you had just escaped from the Covenant and you wanted to come in. Alternating shots of Sydney speaking animatedly into the phone, then Kendall in the JTF listening to what she's telling him. We then cut back to the plane and come in on Kendall's face.", "Kendall: We met in a safe house in Tuscany. Flashback. Cut to Sydney in the safe house. She's shooting questions at Kendall.", "Sydney: Does my father know I'm alive? Does Vaughn?", "Kendall: You father and Mr. Vaughn will be informed at the earliest possible opportunity. Sydney is pacing back and forth on the offensive while Kendall, surprised and equally offensive stands across from her. We watch her as she shoots more inquires at him.", "Sydney: So they don't know. What about Will? Did he make it?", "Kendall: What you've been through may have national security implications. Sydney stops her pacing, her hand coming down from her face as she looks at him like he just sprouted an extra head.", "Sydney: I need to talk to them. I need you to get them on the phone She's coming at him now, and they speak over each other in the next few lines.", "Kendall: All your questions will be answered –", "Sydney: (yelling) Right now!", "Kendall: - in time, first, we need to know what happened to you! She's sobered at bit as we cut back to the present and the plane, watching the pair from across the cabin.", "Kendall: You looked different. It was an alias of yours I hadn't seen before. I I had a lot of questions, too. We didn't know much about the Covenant at the time. Cut closer, to Kendall.", "Kendall: So, you took me back to the beginning. You told me the first thing you remembered after your fight with Allison. So this is what happened to you, in your own words Flashback. Fade to black, then swing over to come back to Sydney in the safe house. Their both sitting now, and she looks away as she starts to recount what happened to her.", "Sydney: I shot her Flashback to season finale and Sydney shooting Allison/Francie, then falling against the wall.", "Sydney: (VO) three times. Then I passed out. Dead to the world.", "Cut to Sydney in the safe house.", "Sydney: When I woke up, it was days later, and I was in the back of a van, strapped down.", "Cut to Sydney, still in her outfit from the Telling. We start at her feet and pan up to her face, where her eyes are closed and a strip of duct tape is secured over her mouth. She comes too, breath rushing from her nose as she starts to move. Cut up to the doctor from Succession (referred to as Oleg from hereon out). She wakes up and sees him, shocked, confused.", "Oleg: You and I are going to work together. You and I are going to spend lots of time together. But we will get the results that my employers have requested. I always do. During this, he runs his hand over her head, trying to be reassuring. When he finishes, she straightens, looking up at the ceiling of the van. He sticks a needle into her arm.", "Sydney: (VO) He injected me with a neurotoxin. Temporary paralysis. I couldn't move or speak.", "Cut to safe house and Sydney.", "Sydney: All I could do was watch. She's upset about this, and we cut back to her in the van as the doctor pushes her gurney upright so she can look out the back windows. It snaps into place.", "Oleg: Your roommate was easy. We unearthed her. We left her in your apartment before we burned it.", "Cut to a view of a cold, overcast beach. Figures in black are gathered near the edge of the water.", "Oleg: (VO) But you -- that was more difficult. When a body is burned badly enough, the DNA they test for is in the teeth.", "Cut to a side view of Jack and Dixon, the van Sydney and the doctor are in is seen past them. Both look saddened yet cold.", "Oleg: (VO) We extracted pulp from your teeth.", "Cut to a full view. It's Jack, Dixon, Kendall, Marshall, Weiss, and Vaughn on the beach, a minister in front of them. Marshall is crying, and Vaughn holds an urn at his side.", "Oleg: (VO) And we injected it into the teeth of the corpse that was to be your replacement.", "Cut to Jack, Dixon, then Vaughn. Cut to Vaughn standing at the edge of the water tossing the ashes into the sea. We then cut to Jack, who's actually showing a degree of sorrow.", "Oleg: (VO) Of course, they tested the body they found. To them, it was you. Weiss and Vaughn are walking back up the beach, followed by the others. We cut to Sydney watching them, and he turns her head to look at Vaughn. He goes to unlock his car door, then pauses and turns around, hugging Weiss who was standing behind him, eyes closed in apparent agony.", "Oleg: (VO) He will mourn and move on.", "Cut to tinted van windows over their shoulders, then Sydney watching them. Then them from the van.", "Oleg: (VO) Find someone else, perhaps.", "Cut to van interior. The doctor puts a hand on Sydney's chin and turns her face away from Vaughn and Weiss outside to face himself.", "Oleg: The sooner you accept that you are no longer who you were, the easier this will be. (whisper) Sydney Bristow is gone. We close up on her face as tears stream from her eyes. Cut back to the present; Sydney in the plane. She's taking this all in.", "Sydney: I don't remember any of this.", "Kendall: I'll get to that. (beat) From your funeral, you were taken to a Covenant facility in St. Petersburg. As he's talking, Kendall pulls out a black folder and opens it on the table. Sydney sits across from him, arms crossed on top of the table. Inside is a picture of the doctor.", "Kendall: This was the man who took you there. The man from the van. Oleg Matrijik.", "Sydney: (re: the picture) I killed this man. Flashback. Sydney, from Sucession. She shoots Oleg twice in the chest and he falls. Cut back to the plane.", "Sydney: It was only a week after I woke up in Hong Kong. He had all the answers. (beat) He died right in front of me. Flashback. Oleg is on the ground.", "Oleg: You kept your promise. That you would kill me. (pause) You were my favorite. Sydney rushes up to him, hands on the lapels of his lab coat, and she's pulling on them as she frantically asks questions.", "Sydney: Who the hell are you? What are you talking about? Why did the Covenant take two years of my life? He's dead. Cut to the plane.", "Sydney: What did he do to me?", "Kendall: The Covenant believed you were crucial to their operation. They needed your cooperation which you wouldn't offer. So Oleg began a brainwash protocol.", "Cut to dark room. It's really dark but we slowly move up what looks like a leg, then up to Sydney's head.", "Kendall: (VO) He spent months breaking you down. A little window opens, bright light waking her up. She flinches, and we turn to see Oleg looking through the small window down at her.", "Kendall: (VO) He used sensory deprivation. The window closes. Cut to Sydney in a chair with spider-like electrode attached to her head. We pull out to see a hand on a switch.", "Kendall: (VO) Electroshock. The hand flips the switch and she starts to shudder. Cut to Sydney strapped to a chair, head bowed and chin almost hitting her chest. There's an IV to her left.", "Kendall: (VO) He would put to you to sleep by running an IV in one arm with a barbiturate into one arm. And shock you awake with an amphetamine into the other arm She's suddenly awake and pulls against the restraints, shouting.", "Sydney: I will kill you, you son of a b****! I promise you!", "Cut to Oleg, watching her with a content look on his face. Cut back to the plane.", "Kendall: (VO) Once Oleg believed you'd been broken, he began a conditioning process. (beat) He stated with hypnosis.", "Cut to Oleg standing in front of Sydney.", "Oleg: Your name is Julia Thorne. You were born in London on August 2, 1973. We spin around from him to face Sydney.", "Sydney: (deadpan) My name is Sydney Bristow, you ugly b*st*rd.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Cut to Sydney's arm. Oleg is injecting something into it.", "Kendall: (VO) He disoriented you with narcotics.", "Oleg: Your name is Julia Thorne. We turn around to see her. She's just as defiant as before.", "Sydney: Really? Then why is my name Sydney Bristow? She turns and spit into Oleg's face. We cut to her lying on the floor.", "Kendall: (VO) He withheld food for weeks at a time. She flinches when light hits her face. Cut to the shelf under the window in the door. Oleg pushes a plate of warm meat and mashed potatoes complete with gravy into it. Sydney gets up and scurries on her hands and knees to grab it, but Oleg pulls it back just as she's about to reach it and shoves a bowl of what looks like grub or old stew to her. She grabs the bowl as the window slides shut and examines it before eating the food quickly with her hands. She starts to cry.", "Cut to Sydney sitting in a chair, light from images flashed before her reflecting on her face.", "Kendall: (VO) He bombarded you with images, information - classic techniques; tried and true. We turn to see the images out of focus, then pull back as Oleg walks in front of it, speaking.", "Oleg: Julia, your father's name was Kenneth Thorne. Julia is who you are", "Cut to another session, where he's speaking again. The words he's saying are flowing over each other in a montage. The images are several things: a girl at her birthday party, a family laughing, all flashing in front of her as the sessions blend into each other.", "Oleg: Your brothers, Daniel and Tom. (beat) The Latin school (beat) Your were the only survivor (beat) Confirmation at the Old Souls Church We round to Sydney, the images still flashing on her face, eyes wide open as she appears to be in a trance.", "Oleg: You lost your family in a fire (beat) You were the only survivor (beat) After that, you became a contract killer (beat) You showed no pity. You first targets were the men who destroyed your family Close up on Sydney's face as Oleg continues to speak.", "Oleg: You became a contract killer You showed no pity You first targets were the men who destroyed your family Julia will eat well live well She's wearing headphones now, which is where his voice is coming from. We've been tightening in on her left eye, and by the time the next line is delivered, we can see her pupils.", "Oleg: Julia is who you are. With the echo of Oleg's voice fading, we cut to the plane.", "Kendall: This went on over six months. It was about that time that Oleg felt he had a breakthrough; that his therapy was starting to work. We cut to Sydney sitting behind a table. She's cleaned up, hair pulled back into a pony tail, and she's wearing a clean grey sweater. She's writing in a notebook.", "Oleg: (off-screen) Julia. She looks up and closes the book, shoving it to the side. All her actions are done with measured, precise movements. Oleg appears on screen, carrying a tray.", "Sydney: Yes?", "Oleg: Lunch. He places the tray down in front of her and lifts the cover off to reveal a full, nice meal. Off her bemused expression, we cut back to the present day in the plane.", "Kendall: Once Oleg believed that you were ready, they gave you a test. We cut from the plane to a table with several ash trays, a hand flicking the ashes off the end of a cigarette into one.", "Kendall: (VO) To prove to them that you were a believer. That you were, in fact, another woman. We move up from the table to Oleg, who stands before the panel of unseen men.", "Oleg: May I present to you Julia Thorne.

She slides up to stand at Oleg's side.", "Cole (quentin tarantino) : Welcome, Miss Thorne. The work you'll be doing for us requires a certain commitment. A man in wheeled in the room, dressed in denim. He's in a wheelchair, tied down with duct tape over his mouth. He speaks, but his words are muffled.", "Sydney: (coldly, as Julia) Of course.", "Cole (quentin tarantino): Who this man is, is not important. What is important is the knife on the table. Use it. Kill this unimportant man. Sydney swoops in and plucks the knife from the table, then turns to the man in the wheelchair.", "Man in Wheelchair: (as she's walking) No. NO! No no. Please! Listen! No! Please don't! She plunges the knife into his chest, his cries as voice over as we switch to the unknown men. Cut to Oleg, then to Sydney, who twists the knife and pulls it out with no reaction. She turns to the table of men, finished, awaiting their response. We fade off her face as we –", "Sydney : Who was he?", "Kendall : I don't know. Sydney :So I was programmed?", "Kendall : Not by the Covenant. Sydney :Wait, Kendall, I don't understand. I murdered that man. What do you mean I wasn't programmed by the Covenant.", "Kendall : When you were young, your father subjected you to the CIA's experimental program to train and prepare children for intelligence work. Sydney :Project Christmas.", "Kendall : Among other things, that program contained a fail-safe to prevent its subjects from being turned. Jack hard-wired you to stand up to some pretty intense efforts at brainwashing. Sydney :I traded his life for mine.", "Kendall : That man. Whoever he was, he was taken, brought into a Covenant facility. He was dead no matter what you did, and you must have known that. Sydney :That doesn't lessen what I did.", "Kendall : But if you hadn't gone through with it, convinced them you'd been programmed, you would have both been killed. You could never have contacted me. Here, Sydney is talking to Kendall after her escape (9 months after the Freplica fight).", "Sydney : I want to go home. I want to see my dad.", "Kendall : Your father can't be contacted. He's under deep cover. And as it is, you have no home to return to. Agent Bristow, let me be clear. You return home, you're putting in jeopardy the lives of the people you claim to love.", "Sydney : You're just trying to scare me.", "Kendall : Look at Your friend Will. The Covenant left the son of a b**** for dead. Listen to me. If what little intel we have on the Covenant is anywhere near accurate, they have the potential to be far more deadly than the Alliance ever was. Which is why it is imperative that you continue as Julia Thorne. The Covenant believes they have you programmed.", "Sydney : If you think I'm going back to them, you're insane.", "Kendall : If you don't, they're going to come after you, after your friends, your family, after Vaughn.", "Sydney : I have to see him.", "Kendall : Sydney, you've been gone nine months.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Sydney : He loves me. Nine months is nothing.", "Kendall : So I let you go, and you went home.", "Sydney sees Vaughn and Lauren together.", "Kendall : As hard as it was to see them together, you couldn't confront Vaughn. You realized your presence was a danger to him, so you did the only thing you could. Syd sees a lincoln surveilling Vaughn and Lauren as they go inside. The passenger looks like the bartender in 2x15 - A Free Agent. The Lincoln's license plate is 4XDU238 (CA). phone conversation:", "Kendall : This is Kendall.", "Sydney : I'll do whatever you want.", "Kendall : That's how we started working together.", "Sydney : So I became Julia.", "Kendall : Yes, you did. In what could be an advertisement if there were a clothing label visible, Syd's walking somewhere in a tan leather coat, turning heads. Then she's sipping latte in the same tan leather coat (this shot is reversed... the coat is obviously reversed, and Syd is sipping something left-handed, but in reality she's right-handed. She's also wearing her watch on her right hand.) All to the tune of No Doubt's cover of \"It's My Life\".", "Kendall : They sent you to Algeria, where you met this man.", "Sydney : Simon Walker.", "Kendall : He was a thief. You were introduced as a contract killer. The two of you started working together for the Covenant. The mission was simple. They wanted you to find the cube. During your time with Simon, you pursued a variety of leads, all the while keeping me informed by passing on the intel to one of our operatives. You informed me that Simon had found Andrian Lazarey, a Russian diplomat, member of the Romanov family. Who, like Sloane, was devoted to studying Rambaldi. You believed that Lazarey would know where to find the cube. It was a crucial acquisition because it contained the DNA of Rambaldi himself. You told me that the Covenant wanted you to get the information from him, and then kill him. It turns out you saved his life. You went to Lazarey the night before you were supposed to kill him. He's a reasonable man. The two of you struck a deal.", "Lazarey: (Russian w/ subtitles) How did you get into my house?", "Sydney : I'll make this as simple as possible, Mr. Lazarey. Unless you do exactly as I say, by this time tomorrow you will be dead.", "Sydney : So that's why I faked Lazarey's death. So the videotape...", "Kendall : We presumed there'd be surveillance cameras. The murder had to look real. Paramedics were CIA operatives working under my orders. The Kremlin carried out a thorough investigation, and they believed, as did the Covenant, that Andrian Lazarey was assassinated.", "Sydney : Assuming everything you're telling me is true, Mr. Kendall, what am I doing here? Why are you telling me all of this now, and where are we going?", "Kendall : We're going to my facility in Nevada, Project Blackhole. Four years ago when I was called in to question you, I was never FBI. I was Special Research, overseeing the project.", "Sydney : I've never heard of Project Blackhole.", "Kendall : Thank you. This is everything the government has collected on or about Milo Rambaldi since the 1940's. A quarter of the artifacts we have were collected by you. You're actually something of a celebrity in-house. Which is also why the Covenant needed you. They believe Rambaldi's prophecies. They believe a lot of things, including the idea that you are... the Chosen One.", "Sydney : My mother said that. The night I disappeared", "(This is a brief flashback to episode 2x22, The Telling.)", "Sydney :: Get off the ledge!", "Irina : I'll tell you what you need to know.", "Sydney : Get off the ledge right now.", "Irina : It's you in the prophecy, Sydney, not me.", "Kendall : Four months ago you asked me not to tell you any of this. I honored that request as long as possible. Trust me, when I finish the story you will understand. The Covenant had you; if they could get the cube, they'd have everything they needed to fulfill Rambaldi's prophecy. You continued to feed the Covenant false leads. In truth, you and Lazarey were working for the CIA trying to find that cube. And it took you nine months, but you found it.", "Sydney : Where was it?", "Kendall : Nothing's ever easy, is it? It was in the Fish River Gorge in Namibia. For five hundred years, the key to Rambaldi's prophecy lay buried in the depths of this cave. To Rambaldi's followers, this was the holy grail. A mile long trek brought you to an elaborate vault that housed the cube. Lazarey had devoted thirty years of his life to acquiring the twelve keys to the vault, the last of which he found only two weeks before your journey. Each one had a name on it that corresponded to a keyhole in the wall.", "Lazarey : This lock won't stay open. I need to hold the key in place.", "Kendall : Lazarey was trapped, and the cave began to collapse around you.", "Sydney : Here, bite down on this.", "Kendall : There was only one way you could both get out alive. So you got the cube, and you got Lazarey out alive.", "Sydney : Come on, you've got to run. Let's go.", "Kendall : Our agreement with Lazarey was that after he helped track down the cube, we would let him disappear, untraced. After you let him go, you were supposed to deliver me the cube.", "Sydney : But I didn't show up.", "Kendall : No, you didn't. Instead, I got this. You want to know what happened to your memory? You might want to sit down for this.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Syadeny : (tape) Kendall. I'm sorry. I know you're expecting the cube with the DNA, and instead you get this. (tape) You've been great to me. You've been a real friend, and I'm grateful for that. But I can't go along with it, the plan we had. (tape) You know what this is about, and I'm hoping you can understand. What am I talking about? (tape) So I'm taking care of it myself, the DNA. I mean, even if it's with the CIA, it'll never be safe, not really. I've seen too much. Everything gets stolen. Everything. So I've got a plan. I've found someone, someone who can help me, a man who has done advanced research on how the brain stores short and long-term memory. I'm not going to tell you the specifics of what I'm doing with the DNA. In fact, I don't want to know them myself. Which is why I'm going to try and have my memories erased, to keep the Covenant from ever doing what they want with Rambaldi's DNA, I'm going to have everything that's happened in the past two years removed. (tape) If this doesn't work, I mean if this kills me, better I did it than the Covenant. But if this works, if I come back and I don't remember, do me a favor. Don't ever tell me about what I've been through. Why are you doing this, telling me all this.", "Kendall : In his prophecy, Rambaldi spoke of a second coming.", "Sydney : Those freaks want to clone him, don't they. No. What the Covenant believes is that Rambaldi's work was destined to continue beyond his time. That he was due a second coming by way of a child. (quoting) This woman here depicted will possess unseen marks, signs that she will be the one to bring forth my works... she will render the greatest power unto utter desolation.", "Kendall : The fanatical point of view believes that Rambaldi's DNA can be transformed, used to fertilize the egg of a surrogate mother, someone referred to in his prophecy as the Chosen One.", "Sydney : That's why they cut me open.", "Kendall : Yes.", "Sydney : So they could extract my eggs.", "Kendall : And that's why you went to such extraordinary lengths, because his child would also be yours. Sydney, that's why I came to you, not because of protocol. There was no official order. Sydney, a couple years ago I got to know you a little bit and what I believed was that despite your protests you would want to know about this. The Covenant has it all now. I got this video two days before you turned up in Hong Kong. And despite my being pissed off, I respected your choice, I opted to let it go, but here we are four months later. And you went straight for the cube. Why, when you nearly killed yourself trying to find it?", "Sydney : Three weeks ago Arvin Sloane gave me a package that I had sent to him in the mail. It was addressed in my handwriting. Inside was a key and an address to an apartment in Rome that I had rented as Julia Thorne. I found a code there, coordinates that led me to a box buried in the sand. It was a hand, it was Lazarey's hand. Which led me to Lazarey, to the cube. When the Covenant learned I'd hidden the cube, they didn't give up. They kept looking. Eventually they found it, they found the cave, Lazarey's hand. They forged my handwriting. They planted the code. They wanted me to find the hand in the desert. They planted it there. They wanted me to ask these questions to smoke out Lazarey. They tricked me into leading them back to the cube.", "Kendall : And why didn't you destroy it?", "Sydney : I don't know. Why did I just leave it at the hotel? Maybe there was another step. Maybe there was someone else involved.", "Kendall : When we get back to the base, I want you to look at all the artifacts, see if anything jogs your memory.", "Sydney : I need a phone. I need a phone right now.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Marshall : This is Marshall.", "Sydney : Marshall, I need you to listen to me very carefully. You said that the jerks were taking it away, that you wanted to see their lab, that you wanted to put a tracer on it and track it to their lab because you can imagine how cool it must be.", "Sydney : Marshall, I need you to tell me the truth. Did you put a tracer on that cube? Marshall, please. If you did, and if you're afraid that you're going to get disciplined, I swear to God you're going to be okay.", "Marshall : I didn't, Syd, I'm sorry. I didn't put a tracer on it.", "Sydney : I know you. No one is more curious about technology than you. I need to find that cube.", "Marshall : Listen, I didn't put a tracer on it. I swear to you, I didn't, okay?", "Sydney : Okay.", "Marshall : Okay, I put a tracer on it, but you cannot tell anyone because if they find out, they will fire me from this job. And I cannot be fired because I'm about to have a baby soon.", "Sydney : Marshall, I love you.", "I love you too. Syd. Serious, you can't tell anyone, okay? Please?", "Sydney : Can you locate the cube?", "Marshall : No, not exactly. But I can narrow it down to a ten yard radius.", "Sydney : Marshall, that's called locating it. Where is it? Covenant scientists and Sark are messing with the DNA and Sydney's eggs. Briefing at the Rotunda...", "Kendall : Here's the big picture. At 2100 hours, you'll be dropped from ten thousand feet over Patagonia. You'll hit the ground a quarter mile from the target building. We have minimal intelligence on this facility, but we believe the fertilization will happen tonight. The chopper will be here in two minutes to take us to the airport. We'll review the operation en route. (phone) This is Kendall. Where is he? Vaughn and Sydney glance at each other, Vaughn looks away.", "Weiss : What's going on with you two?", "Vaughn : Nothing. Come on, we've go to prep. Just afterwards, still in the Rotunda...", "Sydney : Dixon. What are you doing?", "Dixon : The day you showed up in Rome, when you called in, they put you through to Kendall. I was there that day, in the office. When he hung up, he told me that it was you. Syd, I've known the truth about what was happened to you and I was ordered to say nothing.", "Sydney : Dixon, we've been working together for months.", "Dixon : It's not easy, is it? Keeping the truth from someone you love. Now I have an idea of what it was like for you at SD-6.", "Sydney : You're coming with us.", "Dixon : Of course I am. It's personal for me, too.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Patagonia.", "GOON: Let's do it. They parachute out of the plane. At the facility, they shoot an exterior guard. Dixon tosses a flash-bang.

Notable weapons: various people with AR-15s various people with MP5s Sark is shooting John Woo style with either a USP or P99 and something else, maybe a stainless Beretta.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "The fighting's over.", "Dixon : Kendall wants all this brought back for analysis.

Lazarey is taken out of the ambulance and rolled towards the hospital. Someone shoots Lazarey three times.", "Sydney : Dixon, it's me. I'm at the Naval Hospital. There's a sniper. Lazarey's been shot; he's dead. Get me a team out here now.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "A gloved figure partially disassembles a rifle. It's revealed to be Lauren.

En route, the pilots die, Sydney and Vaughn evade North Korean missile attacks, crash land the plane and elude the military. Sydney and Vaughn discuss the difficulty of working together. Sydney reveals that she had slept with Will and has decided to move on. Before Sydney and Vaughn can meet the defector, Sark appears and masquerades as a CIA operative. Sydney, Vaughn and the defector are captured by the military but Sark escapes. The defector informs on Sydney and Vaughn, who are then physically abused. Jack contacts Sydney's mother, Irina Derevko, for assistance and is visited by Irina's sister, Katya, who offers help in exchange for Sloane being killed. Jack visits Sloane but Katya first calls Sloane and warns him to back off Irina, hinting that even Jack would turn against him. Katya then contacts Jack and aborts the assassination. Vaughn admits his feelings for Sydney before they are taken to a firing squad. Instead of being killed, one of the guards kills the other soldiers and they all escape with the defector." ]

Considering the means through with he sent us this message, we believe he has top-tier access inside the organization. Sydney, Vaughn, I'm sending you to North Korea, posing as Swiss insurance auditors. You'll meet with the defector in the Gai-Li marketplace. 1200 hours local. The identifying marker will be three sugar cubes placed on the napkin at the edge of the table. We've only got a 15-minute window.", "SYDNEY: Fifteen minutes?", "DIXON: Those were his terms.

[ "The Covenant defector, Lisenker, discloses the location of the Doleac Agenda, a microdisc which contains information about the six Covenant cells. It is in a chalet with a protection system designed by security expert Toni Cummings, whom Sydney and Weiss meet while posing as diamond smugglers. They obtain schematics of the security systems, bypass the lethal response security and escape with the Agenda. Sloane meets with CIA psychologist Dr. Barnett and reveals that he has a secret that affects the only two people he cares about in the world, Sydney and Jack. Sark meets with Lauren and reveals that he knows her affiliation with The Covenant. He proposes that they stage a coup, kill all six cell leaders and demand ascension within The Covenant by threatening to present the CIA with access keys kept by each of the leaders. After killing the leaders, Sark meets with McKenas Cole who then reveals that Lauren had informed him of their intentions and was happy that the leaders were dead since the CIA were soon to learn of their identities. As a reward, Cole makes Sark and Lauren the heads of the North American cell." ]

Sydney and Vaughn access a secure data facility to download information but their access is cut short by a Covenant operative who escapes after a car chase. They trace the weapon to a ship but Vaughn is shot while on board. The story is then replayed, with additional scenes showing Lauren's involvement in the operation. She had leaked information, it was her in the secure data facility and it was she and Sark that had escaped in the car. Lauren is aroused by the operation and makes love with Sark. Back aboard the ship, Sark and Lauren attempt to stop Sydney and Vaughn. Vaughn gets the upper hand, demanding that Lauren remove her mask but before Lauren reveals her identity, Sark threatens to kill Sydney. Sark and Lauren escape, arming the weapon which Vaughn disables with Marshall's remote assistance.

[ "Sydney and Vaughn must convince bomb maker Daniel Ryan that they are part of The Covenant in order to find out where he has hidden one of his devices. But Sydney discovers that her ties to the bomber could lead him on a suicide mission. Daniel Ryan, former bomb disposal expert, has created a bomb and detonates it in public to advertise his skills and prove that the bomb cannot be disarmed. He is willing to sell the bomb to The Covenant. Based on information from Lysanker, the CIA captures Ryan, under the guise of representing The Covenant. They reproduce a Moscow hotel in order to convince Ryan that he is dealing with The Covenant. Ryan agrees to the deal, but demands that the information be provided only to Sark on a scheduled airline flight. When the contact does not eventuate, the CIA investigates Ryan and discovers that The Covenant had killed his brother. It was Sydney who had performed the murder, during a test of loyalty (explained in Full Disclosure, episode 11). A bomb is then discovered on board the plane carrying Vaughn and Sark which will activate if the plane descends to land. The CIA reveal their identity to Ryan but he refuses to help. Sydney sympathizes with Ryan, explaining that The Covenant also stole a part of her life when turning her into Julia Thorne. Ryan then agrees to disarm the bomb, supplying a pager code. However, this actually activates the timer of the bomb on board the plane, together with one held in the CIA office, with only 5 minutes until detonation. Ryan explains that he knows it was Julia Thorne who killed his brother. Jack manages to coerce Ryan into providing a deactivation code and both bombs are stopped with one second remaining." ]

My marriage with Irina, in spite of everything, was a happy time for me. It was easy being with her. There were times, moments when I became curious. How had she occupied her morning? What were her plans when I was out of town?", "JACK: Usually she told me, but occasionally she'd stop what she was doing, walk over, and offer me a kiss. A spontaneous gesture.", "JACK: But on one occasion it struck me. This impulsive kiss, what if it was an evasion, camouflaging the truth in an expression of love? Of course, I dismissed my concern immediately... merely professional paranoia. After all, she was my wife.", "JACK: I don't regret having married her. I have Sydney because of our time together.

There are ten.", "SYDNEY: Ten matches to one genetic code? Well, that's impossible.", "MARSHALL: Unless they're identical dectuplets, which granted is a statistical impossibility.", "SYDNEY: Or if the person we're looking for uses multiple identities.

(forced casual laugh)", "VAUGHN: Okay, like what kind of things?", "LAUREN: The truth is, I got a call from my mother. She kept bombarding me with questions about my father, wanting to know why I didn't see it, why I didn't stop him. It was like she was blaming me. I was just so upset, so I wandered around the mall.", "LAUREN: What's the matter?", "VAUGHN: I'm just sorry you had to go through that.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Rotunda", "DIXON: You were right.

Dad, when he tried to kill me, he was trying to protect the Passenger from me.", "JACK: Sloane told me that after Il Dire said \"peace\", he searched for every possible meaning in that message.

When your mother returned to Russia, she was immediately apprehended. Her loyalties were questionable. After a few months in jail, he gave birth to a little girl. That girl was one day old when she was taken away from your mother. The only reason I joined the Russian Secret Service was to help Irina find her younger daughter. For years we heard nothing about her. Every lead went cold.

What we are after is big enough for all of us to share. So what do you say, for old times' sake?", "SLOANE: What are your terms?", "LAUREN: We've brought enough for one dose. The rest is safely in storage. Once we know you do indeed have the girl, the rest of the canisters will be delivered.", "SARK: And of course we will need to see a demonstration first. We need to be certain that the fluid actually works.", "SLOANE: I see.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Marshall's Office", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "MARSHALL: Now, I believe the fluid contains a stored memory, a muscle memory.

Can you enhance it?", "Marshall does some image magic. The reflection is revealed as the evil doctor -- crippled evil doctor, thanks to Will.

As she walks from the bathroom into the main sleeping compartment, we see a man, mid 40's, glasses, white shirt w/sweater vest sitting at the table watching her.

She runs her hand down the side of his face and then smacks him in the face with the heel of her other hand, knocking him out. She grabs the isotope, then hurriedly dresses. She puts the isotope into a protective container and puts it in her bag. She handcuffs the knocked out man to the wall. She hurries along the corridor, just as a man with a gun comes around the far corner telling her to stop. He trails her into a baggage car. He looks for her but doesn't see her. She jumps down behind him and fight ensues. At first, Sydney appears to have the upper hand, but the assailant starts to wear her down. She is flung against a door handle, which opens up the side of the car. He picks up his gun again, but she fights it out of his hand and it falls out of the car. He flicks open a switchblade as Sydney starts moving to evade the blade. Eventually, she gets knocked aside and grabs some protective netting that would normally be across the open doorway. She is hanging on, completely outside the car of the speeding train. There is no way for her to let go and she can't get back inside the car.

Sydney rubs the grime along the top lids of Brodine's eyes, and then around the bottom.", "Brodine: Oh my God, that burns!", "Sydney: Better than a bullet.

This place was dark until two months ago when Langley approved the division.", "Sydney: Miss Chase, I can't tell you what an honor it is to be asked to be part of this operation.", "Chase: I know you spoke of being hungry looking for a fresh start", "Sydney: That was nothing my father, Vaughn irrelevant personal stuff. I want to serve my country the best I can.", "Chase: Well, this assignment will be a challenge for you more than you were led to believe.", "Chase shows Sydney into a meeting room. The camera pans as if it were Sydney's eyes. First we see Marcus Dixon, smiling in greeting to Sydney. Then we pan to Jack Bristow, arms crossed in almost defiance Then to Vaughn, moving to stand from a sitting position.", "Chase: The four of you were chosen; hand picked to run this team.", "Sydney (in shock): The four of us Hand picked by whom? Sydney turns to see Arvin Sloane. He smiles and says to her:", "Sloane: This is exciting. Sydney turns and stares in shock at Dixon and Jack and then turns to Chase, saying:", "Sydney: Could I have a word, please? And then steps by Sloane out of the office with Chase trailing behind.", "Sydney: When I was approached about joining a black-ops unit within the CIA, I thought I was doing the right thing. And while I appreciate the necessary protocol in assembling a new team, Arvin Sloane is not", "Chase (cutting her off): I understand you used to work for Sloane.", "Sydney: Yeah, a criminal psychopath beyond verbal descripition", "Chase: I know all about Sloane.", "Sydney: Then allow me to ask the most obvious question in the history of time: How can the CIA let that man, who ran what amounts to a terrorist cell within the borders of this country, run anything?", "Chase: You don't need me to explain the geopolitical landscape, or to list this country's former enemies with whom we now collaborate.", "Sydney: But we have to draw the line somewhere.", "Chase: But we can use him now: His contacts, his expertise, and he will be closely monitored.", "Sydney: I pity the man with that job. Chase just looks pointedly at Sydney.", "Sydney: Wait a minute", "Chase: With you here Vaughn, Dixon, and your father, there's a built-in system of checks and balances. If Sloane missteps you'll catch him. Now, that's it. This is your assignment.", "Cut to Black. Alias Credits and Theme", "(aka - Now is the time in Alias when we dance)", "Sydney walks back into the briefing room where Sloane is standing and Dixon, Vaughn and Jack are sitting. As she enters, Sloane turns toward her.", "Sloane: I was just explaining how the CIA approached me. Sydney gives Sloane a staredown, but does not reply. As she moves toward the couch, Vaughn slides over to make room for her to sit down. Note that Sydney does not sit down next to him, but rather on the arm of the sofa, putting space between herself and Vaughn.", "Sloane: Concerned that increased public scrutiny of the CIA and resulting red tape has impeded their ability to do their job, what they asked me to set up for them was a covert unit; one that is still governed by US laws, but unhampered by bureaucratic chain of command with no accountability—except to ourselves.", "Sydney: That part was made clear.", "Sloane: Which was the part that wasn't made clear? That was me.", "Sydney: No, it wasn't.", "Sloane: Well, quite frankly, I was surprised by their call, too until I understood what it is they want—their own SD-6: a unit that officially doesn't exist comprised of team members who have no apparent affiliation to the CIA. They don't want to know how we do our day's work only that it gets done.", "Dixon: And what is our day's work? Sloane uplinks a photo to the monitor.", "Sloane: His name is Yuri Komorov; he's Russia's leading nuclear scientist until last month when he disappeared with the only viable sample of Orine-12: an deadly and highly unstable isotope. Signal intercepts indicate that on Thursday, Komorov will have a meeting on the train traveling between Belarus and Latvia. We can assume he'll be selling the isotope. The CIA is unable to use that information, which is why we are here. Sydney, Vaughn you'll be on that train.", "Sydney (almost to herself, disgusted): I can't believe this", "Sloane: I beg your pardon?", "Sydney (shaking her head): Nothing.", "Jack: The buyer who is it?", "Sloane: We don't know yet. But according to his grocery list, we can assume he's a serious threat. We were able to intercept the protocol of the meet: the buyer will be in the dining car, 8pm Greenwich Mean Time. There will be a green fountain pen on the table. He will ask Komorov if he would like some tea. Komorov will reply that he prefers bourbon. Dixon, you will be on point. Sydney, you will recover Komorov and the isotope. Vaughn, you will ID the buyer. You will sell the buyer a bogus isotope outfitted with a tracking device so that Langley can follow him back to his base of operation and grab him there.", "Vaughn: Is that it?", "Dixon: Komorov is known to rig his transport devices with self-destruct mechanisms.", "Sloane: Yes, that's correct, so Sydney, you'll need to get him to open the case for you. Sydney (trying to hold herself back and not quite succeeding): Do you have any suggestions?", "Sloane: I assume you'll come up with something interesting Jack, you'll set up the operational plan. The wheels go up at 0600 hours. Are there any questions?", "Sydney (sarcastic): Besides, “How'd you get this job?”", "Jack: Sydney", "Dixon: Syd Sydney pauses, then looks down at the dossier on the table in front of her. It is white with a red rectangle with the letters “APO” inside it.", "Sydney: What is this APO?", "Sloane: It's the name of our new organization, It's right on the door.", "Sydney: Authorized Personnel Only.", "Sloane: I thought it was fitting.", "Sydney (standing abruptly): Excuse me, I have to prep. She walks out of the briefing room, leaving everyone behind. As the meeting breaks up, Sydney is sitting at her new desk. Dixon walks in his desk is right next to hers. He walks over toward her, and she gets up to meet him halfway.", "Dixon: If I had known Sloane was involved? Not a chance.", "Sydney: It was a little deceitful, right?", "Dixon: Yeah, but then I thought if I refused the job, I can't watch over Sloane.", "Sydney: I'm having the same conversation with myself.", "Dixon: You know, I told Langley that I wanted to step down as Director. That life, that suit was never for me I belong in the field. And then the offer came from Chase", "Sydney: ‘An elite, black-ops unit' speech", "Dixon: Yeah, that's the one, and I was in. Sloane walks up behind Sydney, and she turns around so that both she and Dixon are facing him.", "Sloane: Look, I understand your reluctance to work with me well, given everything. Despite my former allegiance, my betrayal of you, of this country you can't deny it: we were a great team. So I'll do this just once and ask you to please give me a chance. Sloane walks away. Sydney turns back to Dixon, obviously not pleased.", "Sydney: One thing makes up for all this: having you as my partner again. Dixon gives Sydney a proud smile, and Sydney lets out a real, full-on, dimpled smile.", "Cut to aerial scene of LA at night. Cut to Sydney gathering items throughout her house to pack for her mission. While she's in the bathroom gathering her makeup, the doorbell rings. Sydney looks apprehensive of whom it might be. She opens the door to find Vaughn standing there.", "Vaughn: Sorry to drop by.", "Sydney: It's okay.", "Vaughn pauses, then says: I miss you. I wanted to say that I miss you.", "Sydney (tentative): I've been thinking obviously about what", "Vaughn: Well, you're afraid to", "Sydney: I'm not afraid, but I", "Vaughn: But you won't return my calls", "Sydney: That's because I could feel what was happening. Vaughn nods for a moment as if he knows exactly what she's talking about and then takes a deep breath.", "Vaughn: Can I come in?", "Sydney: If you come in, we both know what's gonna happen and I don't want that—to jump right back in where we were before everything to pretend that those years didn't happen.", "Vaughn: Well, that would be nice, wouldn't it?", "Sydney: But they did. Vaughn swallows and nods curtly, clearly not thrilled with Sydney's answer.", "Sydney: We need to take it slow, Vaughn.", "Vaughn: Yeah, you're probably right.", "CUT TO BLACK", "(Sound of train horn and the clacking of a train on tracks)", "BELAR(U)S", "We see a train travelling down a train in deserted darkness. A heliocopter follows behind the train.", "Cut to Vaughn in his Komorov costume (dark blazer, vest sweater, white shirt with tie, wire-rimmed glasses) typing on a keyboard inside of a briefcase and closing it. Turning his head, he says:", "Vaughn: You ready? Camera pans to Sydney in her Swedish girl outfit (white sweater with 1/2 zipper in front, white miniskirt, grey suede coat with white fur trim) while she primps her wig. They are in the baggage car. Sydney (in English with Swedish accent): Ya, I tink so...you? Vaughn picks up briefcase and starts walking. As he walks by Sydney, he says:", "Vaughn (in Russian): Let's go. Nice tits. (Thanks to FunkyMonkey and mysticowl for the translation.) Sydney follows along behind him, laughing.", "Cut to a hand tapping ashes off the end of a cigarette. Pan up to Komorov. He's in his room smoking and looking at some paperwork at the table. Suddenly the door to the room opens and Sydney walks in, placing her overnight bag (white, looks sort of like an old-fashioned bowling bag) on the bed.", "Komorov (in Russian): Excuse me. Sydney startles and turns around, her hand over her heart is if it's pounding.", "Sydney: Hello-ah.", "Komorov (in Russian): This is a private compartment.", "Sydney (in Swedish): This is my room.", "Komorov (in Russian): This isn't your room.", "Sydney (in Swedish): This is my room. Komorov stands up, searching in his coat for his ticket. Pulling it out, he says something in Russian and holds it out for Sydney to see. Sydney has pulled her ticket from her bag and carries it over to him.", "Sydney: Are you speaking English?", "Komorov: Yes...I speak. Sydney holds up her ticket to him, pointing out the room assignment.", "Sydney: See, for me? This room? He takes her ticket and holds it up to his, looking at them both.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Cut to Vaughn entering the dining car. He slowly walks down the aisle, looking for the telltale green pen. About 2/3 the way down the car, he spots it and sits down opposite a man who looks to be Japanese. Man (not looking up from his reading): Would you care for some tea?", "Vaughn (in heavy Russian accent): No, I prefer bourbon. The man puts aside his reading and looks up at Vaughn for the first time.", "Man: You're early.", "Vaughn: I am eager to make exchange.", "Man: As am I, Mr. Komorov.", "Cut to sleeping car with Komorov and Sydney. Komorov (still looking at duplicate tickets): I...I am sorry...", "Sydney: Is good, no?", "Komorov: Yes, is good... He slowly hands it back to her as if assessing her for the first time. The train suddenly lurches and she lurches slightly toward him and smiles.", "Sydney (as if confessing): I was drink...in dining car.", "Komorov: Yeah.", "Sydney: Too much.", "Komorov: Yeah. Sydney smiles.", "Sydney: I am for sleeping now. Sydney looks wistfully over her shoulder at the bed and then stretches her arms way over her head, which pulls her sweater up to expose her stomach all the way to almost under her breasts while Komorov watches interestedly.", "Sydney (still stretching): Is there a place for changing?", "Komorov: Uh, yes...uh, bathroom. Sydney sighs, arms still over head.", "Sydney: Thank you. She puts her arms down and smiles, pulling her shirt down over her stomach with an apologetic smile. She turns and picks up her bag. Stopping before Komorov, she says:", "Sydney: You are cute. She reaches over and grabs his glasses by one temple, moving them slightly as she talks.", "Sydney: I like these framings. Her fingers trail down his face as she walks by him into the bathroom. He turns and follows her with his eyes until she closes the door to the bathroom.", "Cut to Vaughn, grabbing the handle of his briefcase and setting it on the table between him and the man. He looks around the car as if nervous and asks:", "Vaughn: You want to do this in public?", "Man: Mr. Vadik is not afraid of the public...and neither am I. Vaughn gives a mini shrug and opens the briefcase. He types in a password on the Cyrillic keyboard and after a moment the compartment in the side pops open. He reaches inside and pulls out a canister that looks extremely similar to the one we saw in the earlier scene with Sydney and Komorov. He sets it on the table between himself and the buyer and waits. The buyer pulls out an electronic device, holding it up to the side of the canister, checking it. While it's checking, the buyer looks up at Vaughn and smiles slightly, almost like a cat playing with a mouse before eating it. Cut back to Sydney and Komorov. We are back at the scene from the beginning of the show:", "Sydney: Is dis okay for me? I just got it.", "Man (also with slight accent): For you? Yes. For you, is very okay. Sydney smiles and drapes herself across the bottom of the bed, facing him. Cut back to the electronic device as it beeps and registers some numbers.", "Vaughn: You can't test power with toy from hardware store. The buyer smiles that 'cat that ate the canary' smile again. Vaughn gives a nervous smile in return. After a moment's pause, the buyer tosses a small black jewlers bag across the table.", "Man: When the more comprehensive tests are done, Mr. Vadik will forward you the other half of your payment. Vaughn picks up the bag and then takes another surreptitous look around the dining car.", "Vaughn: You're not very discreet.", "Man: Terror happens every day, around everyone. Nobody notices a thing until something detonates. Mr. Vadik and I rely on that. Man puts his paperwork into his briefcase. Vaughn closes his briefcase and then opens the jeweler's bag and tilts out the contents: diamonds. Cut back to Sydney and Komorov.", "Sydney: Vhat is your work?", "Man: I'm in chemical business. Sydney laughs.", "Sydney: I knew something like that!", "Man: You did?", "Sydney: Yes, because... Sydney gets up and walks over to Man.", "Sydney: I look at your hands when I come in and I tink", "(Sydney leans across the table and touches the man's forehead, lets it travel down his face and then to his hands.)", "Sydney: He uses brain more than hands.", "Cut back to Vaughn and the buyer. The buyer is staring intently at Vaughn. Vaughn looks up and meets his eyes.", "Man: You look familiar.", "Vaughn: Sometimes people tell me I look like hockey player...Alexei Kovalev. He smiles slightly and looks back down.", "Man: No, that's not it. Vaughn looks back up at the man.", "CUT TO BLACK.", "Shot of train rushing by from the outside. Cut back to Vaughn and the buyer. Buyer is still staring Vaughn down.", "Vaughn: Well, perhaps we have met before, maybe your boss, Mr. Valik...perhaps I know him. The buyer looks discreetly over Vaughn's shoulder to the corner table in the car. Two men sit there. One makes eye contact with the buyer and the buyer surreptitously nods. The henchman walks to their table. The henchman is built like a football player. He puts his hand on Vaughn's shoulder.", "Vaughn: What is this?", "Man: I don't know where you're from...but you're not Komorov.", "Vaughn: Excuse me, but this is me. The buyer looks out the train window and then back to Vaughn.", "Man: I'm getting off the train a little early. Vaughn looks out the window to see a heliocopter alongside the train. To the henchman, the buyer says:", "Man: Find out who he is. The buyer gets up to leave. He grabs the parcel of diamonds off the table and pockets them. At the corner table, the other henchman gets up. As the buyer walks away, we see that Vaughn is considering doing something there in the dining car, but he looks across the aisle to see a little girl talking and he knows he can't. He turns to see the buyer talking with Henchman #2 and then the henchman walks off. Vaughn nudges his comm link and says to Sydney:", "Vaughn: Syd, they're on to us. There's one heading your way. Move!", "Cut to Sydney's face as she registers what Vaughn has said. Worry momentarily crosses her features.", "Komorov: What is it? Sydney smiles at him. Cut back to the dining car. Henchman grabs a fistful of Vaughn's coat and yanks him to a stand.", "Henchman: Get up!", "Cut to Sydney slamming Komorov in the face and stealing the isotope container. Cut to her leaving Komorov's room and Henchman #2 giving chase. Cut back to Vaughn being led down a corridor by Henchman #1. Vaughn takes his glasses off and tucks them in his blazer's front pocket. The Henchman pulls him to a stop in front of a door.", "Henchman: Here. Vaughn opens the door and enters the room, immediately spinning around, grabbing one of the man's arms and punching him in the face. He then spins the gun out of the henchman's hand. Vaughn tries punching again, but is blocked. Henchman puts his hand around Vaughn's throat and throws him forcibly up against the wall.", "Cut to Sydney and Henchman #2 in the baggage compartment. Sydney has just hopped down behind him and punches him. She kicks the gun out of his hand and kicks at him again, but misses. The henchman punches her in the face. Cut back to Vaughn as he's thrown across the room, landing on a desk and then falling to the floor on his back. The Henchman looms large over him. Vaughn kicks him hard in the groin with both feet and then, when the henchman bends over in pain, kicks him with both feet in the forehead, knocking him backward. Vaughn goes on the offensive and tries to punch the henchman in the face, but the henchman catches his fist and then wraps his other hand around Vaughn's neck again. Vaughn tries in vain to remove the man's hand. The henchman throws Vaughn against the wall into the dining table in the room. On the table is a metal water carafe and a couple of glasses. Cut back to Sydney and Henchman #2. The door to the baggage car is open now and Sydney is evading the henchman's knife swipes. He kicks Sydney in the face, and she goes flying, grabbing on to the nylon straps that cover the baggage. She is hanging helplessly outside the baggage car as the train speeds along. Cut back to Vaughn and Henchman #1 as the henchman gives Vaughn a vicious punch to the stomach. Vaughn picks up the metal carafe and blocks his next punch and then hits the man in the head with it. The man staggers, but stays on his feet. After a second, he moves toward Vaughn again. Vaughn hits him in the head with the carafe again. The man staggers backward more forcefully, but still doesn't go down for the count. Vaughn can't believe it. In disgust, he growls:", "Vaughn: Are you kidding!? And hits the henchman in the head a third time, which finally knocks him out. After a quick glance to make sure he's really knocked out, Vaughn charges out of the room and through the car. Cut back to Sydney, still hanging from the netting outside the baggage car. Henchman #2 has started cutting the ropes that attach the netting to the car. One by one they let go as he cuts through them.", "Cut to Vaughn racing through another car, presumably toward the baggage car. Cut back to the man, still cutting ropes. Sydney slips a little farther as another rope lets go.", "Cut to Vaughn, holding his side where the henchman punched him, but still running as fast as he can through the car. Cut back to an external shot of Sydney hanging outside the train by the netting. Sydney looks down and sees they are going over a very deep ravine. Just then, Vaughn bursts into the baggage car. The henchman stops cutting the last rope and turns to fight Vaughn. They wrestle for a few moments before Vaughn finally shoves his attacker out the open door of the train into the ravine.", "(\"Bad\" by U2 begins to play and plays over the following scene.)", "He rushes over to Sydney and pulls her back inside the train and into a desperate hug. Sydney hugs him back just as desperately before pulling back to study his face. Tears well in her eyes as she sees the love and worry clearly written on his face. He cradles her face with his hand and strokes it.", "Cut to Sydney, wearing a tank top, lying on top of a shirtless Vaughn in bed and they are kissing passionately. Cut to another angle where you can see Vaughn's hands restlessly running along Sydney's back as they continue to kiss. Vaughn then rolls Sydney beneath him and the kissing continues. Their movements are heated, passionate, frantic, lustful...not the gentle lovemaking we saw in \"A Free Agent\". A closeup of their faces as they kiss and fondle each other melts into a quick montage of their union until it fades into one shot of Vaughn lying on top of Sydney, the sheet covering him up to his waist, heaving out a huge breath and lying his full weight on her as if were immediately post-climax. Cut to a close up of Sydney's face as she holds him close, running one hand through his hair and the other across his bare back as he cradles her face with one hand. Then Vaughn pulls away to lie down next to her on the bed. Sydney brushes the hair away from her face with one hand and gives Vaughn the smallest of tentative smiles. Cut to Vaughn, who is intently looking at Sydney as well. His expression is hard to read. Sydney reaches over tentatively and touches the cleft of Vaughn's chin and he turns his head slightly as if to shake it, almost as if he's partially regretting rushing things the way they did. Sydney turns her head and stares at the ceiling, as if wondering the same thing.", "CUT TO BLACK.", "Cut to aerial scene of LA at night as Vaughn says:", "Vaughn: Syd, before we left, Jack came to see me with a...message for you...", "Cut to Sydney and Vaughn, still lying in Sydney's bed. Syd is wearing her tank top (still or again...not sure), Vaughn is still shirtless.", "Vaughn: Your father wanted me to remind you that in Belarus we're not gonna have a tactical team.", "Sydney looks away from Vaughn, clearly not wanting to deal with this issue right now. Vaughn half sits, leaning on his elbow as he speaks.", "Vaughn: So why is your father speaking to you through me? Sydney looks at him, but doesn't answer. Finally Vaughn nods slightly, and then says:", "Vaughn: When I was in DC, I know you went to Wittenberg, and I know your father was there. What happened in Wittenberg?", "Cut to flashback of Sydney extracting the file from vault #1062. She sits down at the table, pulls out a small black light and begins to read, crying as she reads the first, and then more and more pages. She hears a voice:", "Jack: Sydney... And looks up with tears in her eyes. Jack looms in the doorway; his face is tight, even perhaps menacing.", "Jack: You were never supposed to have found this. End flashback. Vaughn is still leaning over Sydney, waiting for an answer. Vaughn (in the voice he always used to use when he was trying to get Sydney to talk about her problems with him...that soothing sort of voice): You wanna tell me what happened in Wittenberg? Sydney slowly turns to face Vaughn. There is pain and just a twinge of stubbornness on her face.", "Sydney: No...Actually, I don't. Vaughn looks down, chastened, as if that admission hurt him. Sydney looks away also, as if it hurt her to say it. Then she gets up and walks out of the room, leaving Vaughn alone in bed.", "Cut to a train rolling by in the train station.", "Sloane: We now know the men on the train were working for Roman Vadik; CIA's 26th most wanted. Vadik's resume has him responsible for the Chun Hai blast in '86, Mats Hu in '89, over 12,000 dead total. Close, personal contacts of mine have confirmed Vadik's cooperation with known terrorist cells in planning a major attack within the next six months.", "Sydney: Close, personal contacts?", "Jack: The CIA wants Vadik.", "Sloane: Yes, that's right.", "Sydney: What's the move?", "Sloane: Last year, a foreign agent working on infiltrating Vadik's operation made particularly good progress. She needs to be briefed. I'm sending you, Sydney. I'll give you the details in my office.", "Sydney: Lucky me.", "Cut to Jack entering his office and then looking through the window into Sloane's office where Sydney is.", "Sloane: The agent working with Vadik's operation...was with Argentine intelligence.", "Sydney: Your daughter?", "Sloane: Your sister.", "Sydney: If Nadia's the one with intel on Vadik, why not debrief her yourself? Sloane looks down for a moment, as if unsettled before looking up and continuing.", "Sloane: We went searching...Nadia and I for an artifact built by Rambaldi. Sloane gets up and walks across the room, away from Sydney, and gets himself a glass of water.", "Sloane: It's value immeasurable. And we found it. And we promptly handed it over to the US Government.", "Sydney: That's how you got this position; you bought it.", "Sloane: It turns out the pain that she felt as a result of her job was profound...something with which you're familiar.", "Sydney: Ya think?", "Sloane: I tried to convince her to stay, to transfer over to the CIA. I knew she would be of great value here...but she chose to leave intelligence...drop out.", "Sydney: You sure she really left? Fake-quitting seems to be all the rage.", "Sloane: She's out...she's back in Argentina. She wants nothing to do with me...or this life. Sydney nods her head and a slight smile plays around the edges of her mouth.", "Sloane: You're awful glib, Sydney. Sloane takes a drink from his water glass.", "Sydney: Nadia left you on bad terms.", "Sloane: I suppose I have something to learn...about being a father.", "Sydney: I can see why you don't want to go. That wasn't meant to be glib. I still don't know why you think she'll talk to me.", "Sloane: Because I see in her something I once saw in you: the need to work for what's right. And because you know what it is to put aside personal issues, and that...that's a gift.", "Sydney: It's not a gift. What's it's been is a necessity, and it's become a burden, and, quite frankly, something I've run out of patience for. Sydney stalks out of Sloane's office.", "Cut to Vaughn, taking intel out of a folder, as he turns from his desk, we hear:", "Jack: Vaughn. Vaughn turns to face Jack.", "Jack: Before she goes, you might tell her that...", "Vaughn (cutting Jack off): No, I'm not going to be a conduit to your daughter. I've tried that before; you can imagine how well that went over. And no, she didn't say anything, if that's what you're asking yourself. She hasn't said a word about what happened between the two of you...which gives me an idea of what that is. And Jack, I hope for Sydney's sake that I'm wrong.

Sydney approaches spying Nadia across the way, standing leaning on a post, nursing a beer and talking with friends. Nadia looks Sydney's way and recognizes her.

When she pulls back, she says:", "Nadia: I'm guessing this isn't a personal visit.", "Sydney: No.", "Cut to a distance shot of Sydney and Nadia alone on the pier talking, then close up on Nadia's face as Sydney says:", "Sydney: Roman Vadik. Nadia looks away.", "Sydney: We need your help. Nadia, I need you to come back with me.", "Nadia: No. Sydney... Nadia pauses, then opens her wallet to show Sydney a picture of herself with man, both of them are smiling.", "Nadia: He was a good friend; worked with me. Vadik killed him. Had his head shipped back to our office. But I'll give you what I have. No one deals with Vadik directly. Everyone goes through his lieutenant...You want to write this down?", "Sydney: No, I've got it.", "Nadia: Kazu Tamazaki. Considers himself a modern samarai. Arrested five years ago trying to rob the Hazunanga Asian museum in London. Escaped from police custody...among the least of the charges against him. I hope that helps.", "Sydney: Men like Vadik, like Tamazaki...they need to be eliminated.", "Nadia: I can't. She looks down, and when she looks back up, there are tears in her eyes.", "Nadia: I can't. You do understand.", "Sydney: Yeah.", "Cut to aerial view of LA at night. Sydney is in her kitchen, cooking at her stove. The doorbell rings and she goes to answer it. Thinking it's going to be Vaughn, she starts to say:", "Sydney: I knew penne was... But it's Jack.", "Jack: This cannot continue. Sydney turns and tries to slam the door in his face, but he pushes it open and walks in behind her.", "Jack: A crucial assumption of our operational competance is communication! He shuts the door behind himself and follows Sydney into the kitchen, hovering over her as she cuts vegetables and tries to ignore him.", "Jack: Sydney...If we don't have that...every mission, the life of every operative could be at risk.", "Sydney: I'm doing my job.", "Jack: No, what you need to do is find a way to accept what's happened. Sydney just shakes her head. Jack insists:", "Jack: If you can deal with Arvin Sloane...", "Sydney: I love that you knew that...that you approved it.", "Jack: It may be hard for you to accept that your father doesn't have the authority to make all the decisions that...", "Sydney (cutting him off): No, what's hard for me to accept are the decisions that you do make! What's hard is looking at you... Sydney turns her back on Jack to go over to the fridge.", "Sydney: ...walking past you, smelling that sickening cologne. What's hard is being your daughter...", "Cut to Jack's face. This clearly wounds him and it shows...as much as Jack shows anything.", "Sydney: ...and not being able to separate myself, as far as I may get, from the person I despise most. Sydney goes to the silverware drawer and opens it noisily while Jack, in the foreground, reacts to Sydney's cutting words, his jaw working back and forth. Finally, he says:", "Jack: You went to see Nadia. Did you tell her...what you know? Sydney turns to look at her father. Hurt even deeper than before blossoms on her face before she clamps down on it. She sniffs in disbelief.", "Sydney: I guess I thought...that maybe you'd come here...I don't know, to give me something...information...something that would help make sense of what I was afraid you'd become; but there's nothing you could say. Of course, you were only looking out for yourself. Jack looks away, but doesn't answer.", "Sydney: Is that what you think of me...as an operative? That I would reveal your secret to that poor girl? Keys jangle in the front door lock as Vaughn enters, a grocery bag in hand. Sydney continues to glare at Jack, but he cannot meet her eyes. Finally, Jack looks at her and she whispers:", "Sydney: I didn't tell Nadia a thing. Vaughn walks into the kitchen and stops short when he sees Jack is there. Jack just turns and leaves, leaving Vaughn to stare after him as Sydney tries to go back to cutting her vegetables. Vaughn looks at Sydney for a long moment, who is concentrating on her cutting. Finally, Vaughn walks toward her and puts the bag on the counter. He just looks at her, and she abruptly puts down the knife and mumbles:", "Sydney: Sorry... And walks out of the room, leaving Vaughn to stare after her in concern and pain...pain that she's still not opening up to him and letting him in to help her.", "Cut to Sydney sitting on the edge of her bed, just staring into space. Vaughn comes in and finds her there and lets out a long sigh. Sydney gives him a small repentant smile.", "Vaughn: What's going on?", "Sydney: It was Lauren who told me...", "Vaughn (confused): What...", "Sydney: Told me where to look.

[ "Posing as Russian nationals, Vaughn and Sydney are brought to a \"village\" located in Russia that resembles a typical American town. It was once used to train KGB agents in how to blend into American society, but is now being used by a terrorist cell to train operatives in preparation for bringing down America's economy using an electromagnetic pulse weapon. Marshall discovers information in a book Irina Derevko used to contact her handlers. For some reason, some Russian group is trying to find Derevko. This episode strongly resembles an episode of Danger Man titled \"Colony Three\" in which John Drake infiltrates a Russian facility that simulates a British town. It also resembles an episode of Mission: Impossible titled \"The Carriers\" where the team headed by Dan Briggs poses as foreign agents being trained as U.S. citizens in a simulated Illinois town so that they will unknowingly carry a plague to America." ]

He watches through binoculars, casing how many men (three armed men) there are, protection, etc. and is reporting his findings in Russian through an earpiece (no translation). A truck pulls into the docking station. As the men go to unload the truck, the man in the SUV drives up and hits one of the men with the SUV. He shoots the truck driver and other two guards. He grabs a normal looking suitcase from the back of the SUV and then opens up the back of the truck. He types in the access code to a safe in the back and then removes a plexiglass suitcase that has some sort of electronic gadget inside and safely stores it inside the empty suitcase he brought.

Vaughn has a moment of hysterical eye shifting guilt as if he let something slip he shouldn't have before he quickly shakes it off and changes the topic.", "VAUGHN (defensive): No..nobody...That...that's not the point. So, what's our next move?", "SYDNEY: We have to assume they're tracking our every move. We maintain cover.", "VAUGHN: Yeah, we act like we have nothing to hide.", "SYDNEY: I'll do some reconnaisance; see if I can locate the EMP.", "VAUGHN: In the meantime, one of us should start on our homework. Montage of Sydney in jogging outfit, running through the neighborhood, using her watch to surreptitiously try to find the EMP as opposed to Vaughn practicing putting the handgun together and checking his time with a stopwatch until he can do it in 19 seconds. Outside one of the homes, Sydney slows down to a walk and sneaks up to a tree to look inside. She sees Diane at a desk, reading some paperwork. As she's watching, she suddenly hears:", "TOM: Can I help you with something? Sydney is startled but recovers almost immediately.", "SYDNEY: You scared me... (laughs a little) I thought you might still be up... I, um...wanted to thank Diane for that bath salt kit she left us. That was really nice.", "TOM: How'd you know this was our house.", "SYDNEY (not missing a beat): Your name's on the mailbox.", "TOM: Were you out for a jog?", "SYDNEY (nodding): I needed to clear my head.", "TOM: Good chance to do some reconnaisance as well. I'd imagine. So...what's your assessment of our little town?", "SYDNEY: Strong military perimeter. Armed guards, rotating patrol. Not a lot of people getting in...or out, if you don't want them to. Lack of obvious security presence within the town itself suggests heavy surveillance...security cameras in all the streetlights. And in this immediate area, judging by all the power lines, I'd say that one of those houses is probably a guard station.", "TOM: Yeah. First sign of trouble, we lock down the streets, give the snipers the go ahead to fire at hostiles...It's our version of the Neighborhood Watch program. Helps everyone sleep well at night. Sydney just nods her head.", "TOM: All right. Don't stay up too late, okay? You've got a big day tomorrow. Oh, um... I'll be sure to tell Diane about the bath salts.", "SYDNEY: Thank you, Tom.", "TOM: You're welcome, Karen.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Cut to a surveillance feed of Vaughn sitting at the dining room table, putting together the handgun.

Pan back to show Diane watching them as Tom walks in.", "DIANE (in Russian): They're well trained; guarded with their communication.", "TOM (in Russian): The woman showed initiative.

I assume you're familiar with it.", "ALEXEI (with an implied undertone): We trained some of our best operatives there. Jack works his jaw at the obvious implication, but otherwise doesn't respond to Alexei's baiting.", "JACK: I need to know if the government is still running active operations out of it.", "ALEXEI: Well, it depends on how you define \"government\", I suppose.", "JACK: I have assets in play within the facility who may require assistance with their extraction.", "ALEXEI: This is not some fringe group we're talking about, Jack. The people who control that base may not have official sanction, but there are many in power who look upon their actions favorably.", "JACK: You would have my gratitude for any assistance rendered.", "ALEXEI: While that does warm my heart, I'm afraid the reward does not outweigh the risk.", "JACK: What do you want, Alexei?", "ALEXEI: Well...now that you mention it...perhaps there is something you can do for me.", "Cut to morning in Liberty Village as Tom walks down the sidewalk, waving to one of the neighbors.", "WOMAN: Morning, Tom.", "TOM: Morning, Cheryl. He walks up Syd and Vaughn's walkway and rings the doorbell. Knocking on the door, he says,", "TOM: Rise and shine! Got ourselves a big day! Sydney opens the door. She's wearing chinos, white Keds and a collared buttondown under an argyle sweater.", "TOM: Karen...", "SYDNEY: Hi, Tom...", "TOM: Aren't you just the picture of radiant? Tom leans in and gives her a friendly hug and kiss, the way you would with a relative or acquaintance.", "TOM: Morning... Tom sees Vaughn coming and says,", "TOM: Oh, how'd ya sleep, Dave?", "VAUGHN: Like a baby. Vaughn is wearing a light blue polo shirt and khakis.", "TOM (crowing with delight): Oh hey, look at that! We're wearing the same shirt. You'd be amazed how often that happens here. So, I guess we'll be twins today. Shall we head out?", "VAUGHN: Should I bring the gun?", "TOM: Nah, you'll be provided with one. As they walk down the street:", "TOM: We have a working gas station, a movie theater... A passerby calls out:", "MAN: Hi, Tom...", "TOM: Oh, hey! ...Uh, supermarkets, bowling alley...", "SYDNEY: Why would the government need a bowling alley...", "TOM: Too many agents getting burned in the 50's. Russians couldn't grasp the culture, so they immersed themselves in it. Found out there's no substitute for the real thing. Oh! (snaps his fingers) Hey, that reminds me, I uh, (pulls a ring box out of his pocket) have another little gift. If you two are going to be a couple, you might as well be acting the part.

JACK (looking up from the book): The KGB encoded assassination orders in these pages.", "MARSHALL: Oh. Well that's...not as...sweet.", "JACK: The NSA decyphered all the codes in these books, but Irina's former resident chief just asked for them back. Which means there's something in here the NSA overlooked. Find it. Jack turns and walks out. Tom, Syd, and Vaughn walk into a used car dealership.", "TOM: It's not a novel concept. Trust me, somewhere in America, CIA agents are sitting around in a fake Koroshkovia practicing the Russian table manners.", "SYDNEY: You built a used car dealership?", "TOM: Training station 327F; home of the Kirilov scenario. Your objective is simple; you have to buy a convertible. Tom gestures behind him to a convertible that spins on a revolving dais.", "VAUGHN (surprised): What?", "TOM: You'll be evaluated on characterization, reflex analysis, emotional response and physical endurance.", "SYDNEY: Physical endurance? A salesman walks up to them. His name tag reads \"PHIL\".", "PHIL: Welcome to Liberty Village Automotive.", "TOM: Good luck. Tom walks off as Phil walks up to them.", "PHIL: You must have heard about our Democracy sale. We've got 0% financing for 72 months, and a mindblowing selection of pre-owned stepsides.", "VAUGHN: Well, uh, actually, Phil...we're here to buy a convertible.", "PHIL: You sure about that? Because we only have one convertible, and...huh, it's a pretty fast car.", "SYDNEY (deadpan): That's how we live, Phil. Fast.", "PHIL (nodding): Okay.", "Cut to Phil, Sydney and Vaughn standing on the revolving dais next to the convertible.", "PHIL: Few things scream freedom like a brand new convertible. You put the top down and excitement blows through your hair. Vaughn opens up the door and climbs inside.", "VAUGHN: What's it gonna take to get us over the curb in this baby, Phil?", "PHIL: You guys are first time buyers, aren't you?", "SYDNEY (as simpering wife): Is it that obvious?", "PHIL: Well, you don't get to be regional sales associate of the month four times in a row without knowing how to read people. Newlyweds, right?", "SYDNEY: Relative newlyweds...", "PHIL: Let's see that ring. Sydney puts out her hand so that Phil can see her wedding band and engagement ring. Phil whistles, impressed, then asks:", "PHIL: How'd he pop the question?", "SYDNEY (fumbling): He...took me to...", "VAUGHN (cutting in): Santa Barbara, actually. He gives Sydney a half smile, which she returns. We can tell they are both thinking of the trip they were supposed to go on three years ago.", "VAUGHN: I had this whole romantic weekend planned. Presidential Suite at the Biltmore, candlelit dinner on the cliffs overlooking the ocean... So we went into town, and she wouldn't stop talking about the zoo. So, we went to the zoo. Figured I'd get it overwith. Vaughn gets out of the car to stand in front of Sydney, looking at her as he continues to talk.", "VAUGHN: And then I saw how happy it made her. It made me forget about all my stupid plans. And here we had this personal chef making this unbelievable meal at the hotel, and... (pauses) I proposed on one knee in sawdust in front of a giraffe with a crooked neck. Vaughn gives Sydney this very intense look and she stares back at him, clearly enthralled by his story.", "PHIL (laughing): Now, how can I resist the charms of young love? Tell you what, let's sit down, and we'll talk deal.", "Cut to Syd and Vaughn sitting in Phil's office alone. Sydney is clearly digesting the story Vaughn just told. She turns to him, her face full of questions.", "VAUGHN (softly): What? Sydney looks hesitant, but then opens her mouth to speak...and Phil walks in the room.", "PHIL: Good news, guys. I had to butt heads with my sales manager, but it turns out I'm going to be able to offer you...the newlywed rate. There's just one small problem. Another couple is interested in the car. You guys know Ken and Linda, right?", "SYDNEY: We met them last night. Phil points across the showroom floor to an office on the other side, where Ken and Linda are sitting. They wave.", "PHIL: Well, they arrived in Liberty Village a few days before you did, and they're under evaluation as well. We're only going to let one couple join our family here, and, this being America... Phil reaches under the desk and pulls out a metal briefcase and plops it on his desk.", "PHIL: We thought we'd decide things with a good old-fashioned...competition. (starts to open the case) The winning couple gets to move on in our program, oh, and a brand-new convertible...while the losing couple, well...dies. (Phil opens the case to reveal a handgun identical to the one Vaughn practiced assembling.) Now I should probably, get on out of the way before I get myself shot. Oh, and it looks like Lloyd gave them a bit of a head start...Sorry about that. Good luck to you guys. Phil moves out of the way as Vaughn moves around to start frantically assemble the weapon as Ken and Linda across the way do the same.", "CUT TO BLACK", "Back to Vaughn and Ken assembling their weapons. Ken finishes first and hands the weapon to Linda.", "SYDNEY: Get down! Syd and Vaughn flip Phil's desk in time to block the shots. Vaughn has now finished assembling his weapon and holds it up over the edge of the desk as Ken and Linda scatter. Vaughn leaves the office and Ken attacks him with their metal suitcase. Vaughn's gun goes skittering across the showroom floor. Vaughn and Ken begin to fistfight. Sydney hides behind one of the cars on the floor as Linda takes aim at her. After a moment, she runs across the floor, scoops up Vaughn's gun and rolls herself across the back of the convertible to hide inside as Linda fires at her. (Note that all these cars appear to be armored, as none of them take bullet damage) Sydney fires at Linda and Linda ducks behind a car. Cut to Vaughn and Ken. Vaughn kicks the suitcase away and punches Ken. Cut back to Sydney in the car as it spins, she takes aim and fires, catching Linda in the chest. Looking ahead, Sydney sees Vaughn and Ken still fistfighting in the remnants of Phil's office. Sydney searches the car for keys and then we hear the car revving up. Vaughn takes a quick peek to see who it is and gets punched in the jaw for his trouble. Sydney puts the car in gear and it screams down the ramp. Vaughn gets up and whacks Ken with his metal suitcase, pushing Ken out of the room and right into Sydney's path. Sydney hits him with the car and Ken goes flying up over to land on the concrete. Screeching to a halt, Sydney yells:", "SYDNEY: Get in! Vaughn hops in the car and they streak away. Evening as we see the convertible parked in front of Syd and Vaughn's home. Cut to the bathroom, all the taps running again. Cut to a closeup of Marshall's watch. THe crown is all smashed. SYDNEY (handing it to Vaughn to inspect): It's dead. Sydney sits on the edge of the bathtub, Vaughn sits on the floor, his back against the half wall that protects the toilet.

I mean, if we stay, they might...send us to the supermarket and launch grenades at us...", "SYDNEY: Well, we can't just leave. This place is like a prison! Our best bet is still to maintain cover. Vaughn reluctantly nods.", "VAUGHN: Yeah, well next time we go on one of his tests, I'm bringing our gun, I don't care what he says. Vaughn lets out a long, weary sigh and rests his head against the half wall behind him.", "SYDNEY: Vaughn, come here. She puts out her hand and he puts his in it. She pulls him over to sit next to her on the bathtub rim. Sydney examines his wound and he flinches.", "VAUGHN: Is it bad?", "SYDNEY: You've looked better... Sydney runs her hand down his face and through his hair while resting her other hand on his far cheek, pulling him to her gently so she can kiss his temple near where he got hurt. Sydney starts to drop little kisses on the side of Vaughn's face as his hand slides up to cover the one she has on his cheek. He pulls back slightly, just enough so he can look into her face before they lean forward in a tender kiss. As it deepens, Vaughn lifts a hand to Sydney's cheek and then pulls her into his embrace as her hands slide to his back. Fade into Syd and Vaughn in the shower, naked except for their wedding rings and the string of pearls that Sydney was wearing. They are face to face, kissing and holding each other. Sydney pulls back a little and says,", "SYDNEY: The story you told at the dealership... Vaughn nods. Sydney slides a hand down Vaughn's cheek and he leans in to drop a kiss on Syd's neck.", "SYDNEY: We were supposed to go to Santa Barbara three years ago...and we never made it. Vaughn shakes his head as if to say \"No, but...\"", "VAUGHN (in soft, loving voice): Karen and Dave did.

I mean...that's a side of you I never really get to see, Mr. Bristow. I have to...have to say I like it.", "JACK (deadpan): I fail to see the relevance.", "MARSHALL (squirming): Uh, right, sorry. So did the NSA. Anyway, I ran a criminographic analysis of the ink, and check this out: one of the periods in the ellipses contains ink that was different than the inscription did itself. It was added after you wrote it. Irina encoded it with a microdot. Marshall goes over to his computer screen and pulls up a microscopic photo of the enhanced microdot, showing a jumble of Cyrillic letters shaped like a circle.", "MARSHALL: So...I maginified it with a digital microscope, and...look at this.

Jack walks over to a metal case and puts the book inside, closing the lid.", "JACK: Sentinel's a deceased operative; it's a dead end. The Russians can have it. Our priorities are Sydney and Vaughn.

For a split second, Vaughn looks at Sydney as he couldn't believe she'd actually tried to kill him..and then he knocks the gun out of her hands. She tries to punch him, but he grabs onto her fist, so she kicks him in the stomach. He grabs onto her leg instead, and she uses a flip move to knock him aside with her other leg. He bangs into a metal dumpster and she flips herself back to a stand. Vaughn turns to face her and attempts to block her punches and kicks without hurting her. She pins him by his neck against the dumpster.", "Vaughn (struggling): Sydney...don't do this... He grabs Sydney's head and headbutts her to get her to let go.

I've asked myself...countless times...why I never saw the...true nature of SD-6. For a while, I punished myself over it. Finally, I realized...my only failure was that of...imagination. Despite all the evil I'd encountered, I'd never imagined a person could exist...someone as throughly...toxic as yourself. I won't make that mistake again. You want us to believe you've reformed; that for the love of your daughter you've decided to listen to the better angels of your nature. Arvin...let's be honest: You don't have any.

Sydney and Nadia smile a cattish smile at each other. Motioning to the bartender, Sydney says,", "Sydney: Two.", "Nadia: Please. Looking over at the woman as if Sydney has only just noticed she's there, she says,", "Sydney: Men suck, don't they? The woman looks Sydney over and then says with a small smile.", "Woman: Usually.", "Cut to an elevator door opening. Sydney's arm, still holding a champagne bottle wraps around the open door as the three women giggle drunkenly.", "Sydney: I swear to God I am so not that loopy.", "Nadia (giggling): Don't listen to her, she's incapable of holding her liquor. The three of them walk, or rather wobble, toward Tambor's suite, where the armed guards still stand.", "Sydney: Oh, shut. up!", "Nadia: Do I need to remind you of Ibiza? You and Luigi with the handcuffs!?", "Sydney (airheadedly): I'm ignoring you now... They all giggle.", "Woman: Just a warning...just a warning... my boyfriend? He's kind of a jerk...", "Sydney (scoffing): Like mine isn't...", "Nadia: Please... Nadia turns and smiles right at the guard who noticed the \"maid\" earlier. He shows no signs of recognizing her.", "Woman (to guard): Are you going to stand there!?", "Guard: I'm sorry, Miss Bridget.", "Bridget (giggling): They call me \"Miss Bridget\"...

He turns around to look at Jack and Sloane.", "Marshall: You know, Mr. Sloane, I know how against this you were, but...if Sydney chooses to say \"I told you so...\" you know...", "Sloane (with a dry look): She's not out yet.", "Marshall: That's true, but...They're good; they're really good.

Nadia goes in to re-pocket the PDA, but... the other team scores and Tambor jumps up in disgust.", "Tambor: Idiote!

Nadia, still with the PDA still palmed, goes back to the couch and pretends to \"find\" it there as Weiss and Vaughn look on nervously. She stands back up with a \"What a total jerk!\" look on her face and says snottily,", "Nadia: Is this what you're freaking out about? Nadia holds it out to Tambor as he crosses the room and she deposits it none too gently into his hand.", "Bridget (gently): You better go now.", "Sydney (scoffs): Yah...you think? She and Nadia share nervously disgusted looks.", "Sydney: You were right; your boyfriend is a total drag.

Sydney stops and reluctantly turns back. Sloane:...you report to me. Sydney looks offended by his tone; Nadia looks chastened.", "Nadia: You're right; we disregarded a direct order. It won't happen again.", "Sloane: Just so we don't have these misunderstandings again, let me be clear...to both of you: Questioning my authority, whether its in this office or in the field is unacceptable.", "Sydney (riled): Unacceptable...coming from you, that's almost funny.", "Nadia (wanting to keep peace): Sydney, please... Sydney (slowly walking toward Sloane until she's standing right in front of him): Do you really want to engage in a conversation about what is...and what is not...acceptable? Every day I work here, I see your face in briefings, I hear your voice in my ear during missions; you wanna know what that's like? It makes me sick to my stomach. Having to pretend the past never happened, that you're not the same... murderous, criminal sociopath you were three years ago...It makes me want to retch. Nadia looks away in discomfort.", "Sydney: If you want to talk unacceptable...that is unacceptable.", "Sloane: I'd assumed that you had accepted the fact that I'd made amends for my past.", "Sydney: Amends!? Francie and Danny are gone...and yet, here you are. And everywhere I look, I'm reminded of the man who killed them.", "Sloane: I see. Nadia looks up at them, pained, just as Marshall bursts in.

I broke it... kinda, brilliant on my part, but then again, the data itself was coded, so I had to cross-reference it with...", "Sloane: Marshall, what is it?", "Marshall: Well, it looks like the sale of Black Thorine? It's going down in 16 hours.", "Sloane: We'll be right there.", "Marshall: Okay, hurry! Marshall runs back out of the office and down the hallway.

Marshall.", "Marshall: Okay. Here is the schematic of the vault you'll be dealing with: its secured, built into the bulkhead, old school, so... whoever is going in is going to need...these. Uh, your basic safe-cracking tools.", "Dixon: Sounds simple.", "Marshall: Not quite. Now, I found some receipts on Tambor's hard drive. Turns out he bought a Condor TLC60 free-standing safe last month. Now, I did some measurements and, oddly enough, it fits perfectly within the vault, so...I think it's safe to assume Tambor...has a safe within a safe.", "Nadia: He's certainly paranoid enough.", "Vaughn: How do we crack it?", "Marshall: The Condor uses a time-synchronized lock. It randomizes the combination every 60 seconds. Now, the combination appears on a key card with and LCD screen. Now, you can assume that Tambor will have it on him, sooooo...you gonna need this. This is a handheld wireless monitor, and this right...", "Marshall opens what appears to be a small ring box and turns to Jack.", "Marshall: ...Will you marry me, Mr. Bristow?

This is a high-risk mission; no backup. Vaughn, Dixon, this is your op. I'm sending you to the ship.", "Sydney: If you don't mind, I'd like to finish what I started.", "Nadia: So would I. Sloane looks at Jack and says nothing.", "Cut to Jack and Sloane arguing in Sloane's office.", "Jack: They are the two best divers!", "Sloane: For me to send them after the way they behaved in Monte Carlo, not to mention the way Sydney just behaved in my office, would be tantamount to rewarding them for insubordination. I thought I would have your support on this.", "Jack(pauses, then): Arvin, the nuances of fatherhood may elude me, but...there is one thing I am sure of: You are not going to forge any kind of bond with Nadia if you attempt to keep her from working with her sister.

We see several large canisters inside, not a tiny vial, like had been reported.", "Nadia: Oh my God...we need a bigger case.

Orissa pulls a gun also, but also misses. In the safe room, the \"chemist\" pulls a gun and shoots the guard dead while Sydney and Nadia watch in horror. A gunfight ensues in the room where Tambor just fled and Orissa's henchmen take out the rest of Tambor's. As soon as the chemist leaves and goes into the other room, Sydney and Nadia flee back up topside. They narrowly beat Orissa and Bridget to topdeck, grab their gear and jump overboard.

Ambushed.", "Sloane: ...by Leo Orissa, head of the Russian Organized Crime Syndicate. I used to work with him...when I was head of SD-6.

At least ten canisters.", "Marshall: Tambor must have reverse-engineered it.", "Jack: Which means they're manufacturing it. Tambor has a lab somewhere.", "Sydney: Orissa must know where it is.", "Sloane: Orissa's associates are most likely securing the Black Thorine for transport. Nadia, can you take them out alone?", "Nadia: I think so.", "Sloane: Given my history with Orissa, I believe he'll be willing to talk.", "Sydney: How?", "Sloane: Sydney, in order for this to work, you're going to have to listen to me.

Orissa smacks Bridget hard across the face.", "Cut to another henchman unloading more Black Thorine.

Wishing that he were dead.", "Sydney (to Orissa): His body doesn't work, but his mind does. He's a living corpse. Sloane didn't show enough mercy to kill him.

Sydney is slow to get up and Bridget kicks her in the face. Then she grabs a rope and starts to strangle Sydney with it. At that moment, Nadia comes running and kicks Bridget in the back, forcing her to lose her grip on Sydney.

When it ended, you were all...weird.", "Weiss: Weird how?", "Vaughn: You were building ships in bottles...you built many, many ships in many bottles over many, many months.", "Weiss (defensive): That's called a hobby.", "Vaughn: Hobby!? You locked yourself in a closet for a month, and...", "Weiss: Tell me you don't still think about how I got those ships in the bottles... Vaughn shakes his head no and opens his mouth to reply, but Sydney and Nadia walk up, cutting off whatever reply Vaughn might have had.", "Sydney: Hey. Weiss (smile brightening as he sees Nadia): Hey.", "Vaughn: What's goin' on?", "Sydney: We got called in, but they've been in there all morning. Sydney looks over her shoulder into Sloane's office. Sloane and Jack are inside with the doors closed, obviously having a very serious discussion.", "Vaughn: Well, that's weird.", "Weiss: What do you think it is?", "Nadia: We don't know.", "Vaughn (looking over Nadia's shoulder): Here we go... The women turn to face the office again, just as the door opens and Jack and Sloane exit. Sydney turns to stare at Jack as he walks by and into the briefing room. Cut to the briefing room with the APO team gathered around the table as Sloane talks.", "Sloane: As you know, my position here at APO is contingent upon an agreement I made with Director Chase's office last year. That agreement includes a short list of operatives with whom I am not authorized to engage, so that if a mission arose that involved any of these people, I am to immediately recuse myself...I am to...step down. Well, that day has come. So, as of now, I am giving full operational authority over your next assignment to Jack Bristow. I would ask for your cooperation in not involving me at all. Good luck. Sloane steps away from the table and back to his office. He definitely does not look happy at having to give up his command and not be involved in the mission. Everyone watches after Sloane, and Eric asks,", "Weiss: So, what? He's not coming back?", "Jack: When this matter is resolved, yes.", "Vaughn: If Sloane can't touch this case, then why did they assign it to his task force?", "Jack: Because of Sydney. Our target is someone with whom several of you are quite familiar.", "Sydney: Who is it?", "Jack: Anna Espinosa. Vaughn immediately gives Sydney a worried glance. Sydney leans forward in her chair as if she can't believe what she's hearing.", "Sydney: I...She's supposed to be dead.", "Jack: So are a lot of people.", "Nadia (to Sydney): Who is she?", "Sydney: Former Soviet agent, raised in Cuba. Used to be K-Directorate.", "Jack: Four days ago our London listening post intercepted chatter about a dead drop from a suspected terrorist group. Satellite surveillance of the specified location revealed this: Jack shows a photograph of Anna from the dead drop. Jack hands the remote to Marshall.", "Jack: Marshall.", "Marshall: Thank you...and congratulations on the, uh...Uh, now, I pulled the file on Ms. Espinosa (shows file data on screen)... She specializes in close-quarter kills, strangulation, edge-weapons, guns, high-level theft, security breach...", "Dixon: She spent six years on Interpol's most wanted list.", "Marshall: Six and a half, actually...Did the... After she left K-Directorate, she went freelance, worked for the highest bidder, you know...you give her the dough, she'll give you the show. Um, she's also associated with...the Followers of Rambaldi. (Marshall hones in on a photograph of the mark of Rambaldi on Anna's hand. Nadia suddenly looks very ill at ease and Sydney notices.", "Jack: Intel indicates Anna's making contact with an associate at Pergruen ze Prundenzar in 36 hours from now...", "Nadia (cutting in): Excuse me. Nadia gets up and walks out.", "Jack (continues): concerning an assignment... Jack stops speaking as he notices Nadia walking out. Everyone turns to watch Nadia who slowly crosses to her desk and sits down.", "Jack (getting her attention): Sydney? Sydney turns her attention from her sister back to the matter at hand.", "Sydney: You want us to surveille the meet.", "Jack: Yes. You, Dixon, and Marshall. Given your familiarity with Anna's methods, I want you to track her movements, find out what the assignment is. If the opportunity presents itself, you're authorized to bring her in. The category of force you choose to exercise will remain classified.", "Dixon: When do we leave?", "Jack: We're arranging a jet for this evening; you'll have 20 hours in-country to coordinate before the meet. That's all. The meeting breaks up. Eric sidles up to Sydney as they leave.", "Eric: What happened?", "Sydney: I don't know. Eric backs off as Sydney approaches Nadia, who looks like she's on the verge of crying and is pinching her nose at the bridge. She looks up as Sydney approaches and appears to compose herself.", "Sydney: Are you okay?", "Nadia: I got lightheaded.", "Sydney: We have a while before we have to leave; do you want to grab something to eat?", "Nadia: Sure.", "Cut to an outdoor cafe. The camera slides across and then focuses on Nadia and Sydney, sitting at a table having lunch.", "Sydney: It was just me and Anna in the middle of the stadium. I have the key; she has the box.", "(Note: This is actually the opposite of what happened. Anna had the key and Sydney had the box...probably just an error on the writers' part, rather than a mislead of Nadia by Sydney.)", "Sydney: We needed to work together to get the code, but there she is right next to me. All I was thinking was, \"I could take her out...right now. End it once and for all.\"", "Nadia: But that wasn't your assignment.", "Sydney: Not that night. But I swore to myself if I ever had the chance again, I would not hesitate.", "Nadia: This...can't be easy for you.", "Sydney: I'm not worried about me. What's going on with you?", "Nadia: I know only a few things...about Rambaldi. I know he was a prophet, 15th century. I know my father was...is...I don't know, obsessed with him. Last year, when my father connected me with Rambaldi, I started to hallucinate. I saw something awful. Sounds and fast images, they went by quickly but...there was one vision...that felt so real.", "Sydney: What was it?", "Nadia: We were both together...scared and upset, holding guns aimed at each other. And I remember my hands were shaking...and I pulled the trigger.", "Sydney looks up, but this doesn't exactly shock her, almost as if this was what she was expecting to hear.", "Nadia: Blood was pouring down your chest...and I wanted to say I was sorry, but you just looked at me...as if you'd been expecting it. As if you knew all along; knew I was going to kill you. Sydney looks down at her plate.", "Nadia: I know I must sound insane. She looks down, blinks back tears and takes a drink from her soda.", "Sydney (sighing): Nadia, there's something I should have told you. Nadia looks up at her, but before Sydney can elaborate, she's interrupted.", "Waiter: Miss Bristow? There's a call for you. Sydney gets up and crosses the cafe. When she reaches the hostess, she is handed the phone.", "Hostess: Here you go.", "Sydney: Hello.", "Anna: Hello, Sydney. Sydney reacts to the sound of Anna's voice...she visibly stiffens.", "Sydney: Anna.", "Anna: Turn around. Sydney turns around to see Anna sitting beside Nadia at the table, smiling like the cat that ate the canary. Sydney's eyes widen.", "Anna: I'd advise against any action; my associates wouldn't like that. Sydney looks down at her chest and we see six red laser dots appear and center in the middle of her chest. Sydney looks up at the high buildings around her, trying to locate the shooters, to no avail.", "Anna: There's something I need you to do for me, Sydney. Sydney stares Anna down, but Anna just looks amused.", "Anna: I must say I have been looking forward to working with you again. Cut back to Sydney's reaction.", "CUT TO BLACK", "Alias Theme. (Or now is the time in Alias when we dance!) Jack is sitting at his desk in his office when a winded Sydney bursts in.", "Sydney: Anna has Nadia. She knew she was gonna be intercepted in Brussels, so she took her. If I don't do what she says...Dad, she's gonna kill my sister.", "Cut to Dixon walking by Sloane's office as he stands in the window watching. He watches as Weiss and Marshall also hurry into the briefing room. Jack starts to cross the hall but stops and stares for a moment at Sloane, who is staring at him. Sloane's face shows that he knows something bad has happened.", "Cut to the rest of the APO crew in the briefing room.", "Jack: If we don't meet her demands, Anna Espinosa claims she'll kill Nadia. We have 18 hours to comply.", "Vaughn: What are her demands?", "Sydney: She wants me to take the meet in Brussels posing as her. I'm to retrieve a package from a man named Milo Sabine. If I deliver it to her in a boutique in Beverly Hills by a specified time, she claims she'll let Nadia go.", "Jack: Sydney, scrap the surveillance op in Brussels. Get with Marshall to coordinate your new parameters: You're going in as Anna Espinosa.", "Jack (to Vaughn) : Dig up everything you can about Sabine, business associates, last known whereabouts...the works.", "Jack (to Weiss): Coordinate with Langley. We'll need total satellite coverage of the meeting point.", "Jack (to Dixon): I want sniper teams and full ground support ready to go.", "Dixon: On it.", "Jack (to all): Wheels up within the hour.", "CUT TO BLACK", "BRUS(S)ELS", "An establishing shot of Brussels by airplane at night. Cut to Sydney walking in a park.", "Sydney (over comms): Approaching the Metro station. She rounds a corner and sees the entrance the Metro station. Before it is a park bench. An older man is sitting alone.", "Vaughn (on comms): Do you see anyone?", "Sydney (over comms): White male, late 70's.", "Cut to Vaughn and Dixon in the surveillance van.", "Vaughn: There's no photo on his file, but based on the date of birth, this could be our guy. Cut back to Sydney as she sits down next to the man on the bench.", "Sydney (with Russian accent): This time of year does terrible things to my hair. The man looks up.", "Sabine: Miss Espinosa. Sydney just looks at Sabine as if thoroughly unimpressed.", "Sabine: How I wish that I were younger...", "Sydney: Do you have the package?", "Sabine: What your associates have requested of me is, um...highly valuable. I will...like to make sure that I get my money's worth. Are you prepared to...reach your end?", "Sydney: I'm always prepared...once apprised of the specifics.", "Sabine: Thirty minutes ago, a man entered the hotel Metropol. He is currently enjoying a 17 year old scotch the bar located in the west lobby of the hotel. The man's name is Wilhelm Cogg. (He pulls out a photo) This is the man...the man you are to kill. I will require photographic evidence of his corpse, plus, what I understand is your keepsake: his right index finger. I will be sitting on this bench for the next 40 minutes. Return within that time and you will get your package. After that, I will not be sitting in this bench. Tick tock, Miss Espinosa.", "Cut to the surveillance van.", "Vaughn: Hotel Metropol's seven blocks away.", "Dixon: We have 32 minutes.", "Sydney: Marshall, how are you doing on Cogg? Do you have anything on him yet?", "Cut to Marshall, who is looking at Cogg's file on his computer.", "Marshall: On its way. It's a...rather large file. Cut back to the van.", "Dixon: We got it.", "Sydney (reading over Dixon's shoulder): This guy's wanted in 4 different countries.", "Vaughn: Money laundering, kidnapping, conspiracy.", "Sydney: Affiliations: Russian and Chinese organized crime syndicates. Known associates: Anton Matteo and Peter Guiger.", "Vaughn: Solicitation for prostitution, three charges. This guy's got a real thing for hookers. Sydney looks at Vaughn suddenly.", "Sydney: Wait... Sydney pulls off her coat and rips the sleeves, part of the bosom and skirt off her dress. She grabs a bottle of water from the counter and begins to wet down her hair with it. Sydney exits the back of the van in a tight, short black sleeveless dress that completely shows off her cleavage. Her hair is all slicked back and she looks like she could be a high-priced hooker. (Think of that scene from \"True Lies\"...this is a total shout out to that movie.)", "Cut to the hotel lobby as Sydney stands at the counter. Behind her, Dixon enters the lobby.", "Clerk: There you are, ma'am, 1132. Two keys. Sydney takes the key and palms one off to Dixon as he walks by.", "Clerk: Will you be needing help with any bags?", "Sydney (in French accent): No thank you; I'm travelling light. Sydney enters the bar and looks for Cogg, then approaches him.", "Sydney (continuing French accent): Wilhelm?", "Cogg: Yeah?", "Sydney: Do you know...how hard...has been to find you?", "Cogg: If I knew you were looking, I'd have made it...a lot easier. Sydney sits down at the table.", "Sydney: Matteo said you were not drinking anymore, you bad boy. I won't tell Matteo.", "Cogg: How do you know my business partner?", "Sydney: Who do you think...sent me to you? I am Matteo's early birthday present.", "Cogg: Really?", "Sydney: He wouldn't tell me how old you were. He knows I don't usually...work...with older men. You don't seem so old.", "Cogg: Thank you so much. Sydney holds up her key.", "Sydney: We have a room. Shall we?", "Cogg: So it's...happy birthday to me, eh?", "Cut to Cogg and Sydney entering the hotel room.", "Cogg: Great...beautiful arms...We love arms... As they step further in the room, we see Vaughn standing in the corner. Cogg looks up and,", "Cogg: What...what is this? Sydney hurriedly locks the door as Dixon and Vaughn walk toward Cogg like he is prey.", "Sydney: It's your lucky day.", "Vaughn: You get to live.", "Dixon: But we're going to need that ring...", "Sydney: And the finger it's on. The three of them are trying to restrain Cogg, who's thrashing about.", "Cogg: Wait! What's happening!?", "Dixon: There are people out there who want you dead. Fortunately for you, we're not them.", "Vaughn: When this is over, you're going to walk out of this hotel and disappear.", "Sydney: You can thank us for it later.", "Cogg: What are you doing!? Sydney forces Cogg's hand into an ice bucket.", "Cut to a slow pan of Nadia's hands and chest roped to a chair and then up to her face. She appears scared, but otherwise unharmed.", "Anna: You look like her... Nadia turns to face Anna.", "Anna: ...your mother.", "Nadia (with bravado): Don't waste your time trying to scare me.", "Anna (amused): You are scared. Anna walks up and starts inappropriately touching Nadia's hair...like a mother instead of an enemy.", "Anna: I would be scared, too...if I did not understand what this was all about.", "Nadia: She told me about you...Sydney. I know enough. Anna smiles indulgently. She is screwing a long metal piece onto a handle.", "Anna: Your sister...she's a curse. Nadia turns to look at Anna, shocked.", "Anna: You see what happens, don't you? To everyone she loves. Nadia looks away.", "Anna: One day, you will be asked to pay the price. Today...you will feel a little bit of that. Anna lights a Bunsen-like burner and puts the metal rod into it. Focus in on Nadia's face.", "Cut to Cogg, still struggling in the chair he's been placed in.", "Cogg: Please, please! There must be another way, please!", "Dixon: We've got nine minutes left. Cogg yells again.", "Vaughn: Keep him quiet. Sydney (stuffing a washcloth in his mouth): Bite this, bite this. You got it, Vaughn?", "Vaughn: Yeah. We see Vaughn preparing to cut Cogg's finger off with a large bolt cutter. Sydney (trying to keep Cogg's attention): Look at me...look at me... Sydney looks at Vaughn and he cuts off Cogg's finger. Cogg falls forward on the floor, writhing in agony. Dixon picks up the finger with a washcloth and hands it to Sydney, who puts it in a plastic bag. Vaughn bends down and begins to administer first aid to Cogg. Dixon bends down with a swab as Cogg continues to writhe.", "Cogg: What are you people doing!?", "Vaughn: Don't move. Dixon swabs the dye on Cogg's forehead, and then dribbles some of the fake blood away from the \"wound\". Sydney takes a picture of the supposedly dead Cogg, and...", "Cut to Sabine, holding the photo.", "Sabine: Your reputation is well-earned. I still wish I were younger. Sydney hands Sabine the bag with Cogg's finger in it. He looks inside.", "Sabine: You should let your associates know that this is the last remaining sample. They should treat is as if it were sacred.", "Sydney: Absolutely. Sabine gets up and walks away.", "Sydney (into comms): I've got it. I'm on my way.", "Cut to Anna with the metal rod end still in the fire. It's glowing red hot.", "Anna: This is a gift...from me to you...to Sydney. Anna reaches over and pushes Nadia's hair off her shoulder.", "Anna: Every time she looks at you... Anna grabs Nadia's hair while a henchman holds Nadia's head in place.", "Anna: ...I want her to think of me. And one day, whether you choose to or not, you will help me destroy her... We now see the metal rod is a brand...a brand of the Eye of Rambaldi. Anna holds it to the back of Nadia's neck and Nadia screams.", "CUT TO BLACK", "Cut to Marshall's lab in APO. Jack and Vaughn stand beside him as he speaks.", "Marshall: The lab confirmed, it's the Dante compound: a super-rare, phosphorus-based putty. But it's...not the...same kind of putty you use on a newspaper to copy Beetle Bailey...out of...you ever do that with...?", "Cut to Jack and Vaughn's almost identical look of exasperated impatience.", "Marshall: Anyway, it's completely harmless on its own, but when mixed with certain nerve agents, the VX gas in particular, Bouyaka! It mutates the neurotoxins, causing them to replicate at a rate that would be like historic.", "Vaughn: We'll have to secure all laboratories that manufacture VX.", "Jack: How long would it take you to construct a fake?", "Marshall: A fake? What, you mean like something that would actually pass as the real thing?", "Jack: Sydney's meeting with Anna in 30 minutes. Turning this over to her is not the ideal option. Can you do it?", "Marshall: No, absolutely not, no...", "Jack just continues to stare at Marshall.", "Marshall: Okay, probably...but listen, one more thing: I know this isn't, you know, like my province, but...I think I have an idea who Anna's working for. There's this fringe terrorist cell called the Cadmus Revolutionary Front.", "Vaughn: Yeah, they're former Covenant.", "Marshall: Yeah, so I don't have to tell you you...(looking at Jack) Do you...?", "Jack: Yes, I know who they are.", "Marshall: Well, it turns out, the CRF? They've been trying to acquire the Dante Compound for over a year. I think they're trying to build a chemical bomb.", "Vaughn: I read the Echelon report on the CRF. We don't know what their agenda is.", "Jack: Then we need to increase our knowledge base, find a way to penetrate the CRF and determine their motives.", "Marshall: Well, we actually have somebody in custody with CRF connections, considering their Covenant ties and all... Vaughn rolls his eyes and looks away, not at all looking forward to that prospect.", "Vaughn: Oh, God... Jack turns to look at Vaughn.", "Cut to Jack's office and an irate Sydney.", "Sydney: If we give Anna a fake, she'll kill Nadia; you know that.", "Jack: Turning over the compound would be irresponsible, not to mention unnecessary.", "Sydney: My responsibility is to get Nadia back. Safe, alive!", "Sloane: He's right, Sydney.", "Sydney: What are you talking about? I'm trying to save your daughter!", "Sloane: Giving Anna the compound is an unnecessary risk.", "Sydney: Unnecessary!?", "Sloane: She won't kill her; it's not her destiny.", "Sydney: Please tell me this is not about what I think it is.", "Sloane: If you had faith, you would know what I know.", "Sydney: Faith in a 15th Century lunatic!? Dad, please tell me Rambaldi is not dictating procedures. (looks at Sloane) He has no authority here, and I know Anna better than anyone, that's why you chose me for this mission. Dad, please, I need to get my sister back. Jack looks troubled, but he nods his assent.", "Sydney: Thank you. Sydney turns and leaves the room. Sloane looks at Jack, looking very betrayed. Jack looks slightly penitent, but says,", "Jack: You shouldn't be here, Arvin.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Cut to Vaughn walking through the APO office. Sydney crosses his path.", "Sydney: Hey.", "Vaughn (on a sigh): Hey.", "Sydney: Where're you going?", "Vaughn: I'll tell you later; when's the meet with Anna?", "Sydney: Now.", "Vaughn: Nadia's going to be okay.", "Sydney: I just want the ghosts to go away.", "Vaughn: Tell me about it. Vaughn walks away. Sydney watches him leave, thinking.", "Cut to the boutique in Beverly Hills. Soft elevator music plays as Sydney enters the store, pretending to look around until she spots Anna. She walks up next to Anna and hands her the purse she had over her shoulder.", "Sydney: Here.", "Anna: Nice work. Anna slings the handbag on her shoulder without even looking inside.", "Sydney: You're not even going to look at it!?", "Anna: I trust you; you wouldn't try to decieve me, would you? Anna walks around to another rack of clothes. Sydney follows.", "Sydney: Where's my sister? Anna holds out an automatic door opener from a car and Sydney takes it.", "Anna: Wait five minutes after my exit, then go to the 4th floor of the parking structure across the street... Anna turns toward Sydney and places a hand on the center of her chest.", "Anna: ...or my friends will blow a hole in your heart.", "Sydney: Get your hands off me.", "Anna: It was nice getting to know your sister... Anna runs an \"affectionate\" finger down the side of Sydney's face and starts to turn to walk away, but Sydney punches her right in the face. They start a fistfight in the middle of the store, with Anna getting the better of Sydney at first. She fights off Sydney's first attack, sending her knocking into the wall display. A security guard steps forward to subdue Anna, but she quickly dispatches of him. However, that gives Sydney time to recover and Sydney kicks her twice in the abdomen before taking a couple of punches. Then Sydney runs up and onto a display case to kick Anna in the face, knocking her back into a mannequin. Blood runs from the side of Anna's mouth. She sees the car door opener lying in front of her and quickly palms it. Sydney goes to grab Anna, but Anna grabs an arm from the fallen mannequin and whacks Sydney with it, but Sydney does a spin kick, which knocks Anna onto one of the display cases. Anna goes to punch Sydney, buy Sydney side steps it, grabs Anna's arm, turns it, and shoves her face-first back down onto the display case. From behind them, they hear,", "Guard: Dispatch, I need backup. Sydney looks over at him and then lets go of Anna's arm, saying,", "Sydney: She can have the blouse. Sydney walks across the room and retrieves the handbag. Anna walks toward her holding out the key fob. They blatantly make the switch and Anna walks out.", "Cut to Sydney running frantically through the parking garage, hitting the button over and over, trying to find a car it belongs to. Finally, a car sounds behind her and she runs to it. Sydney looks in the windows of the car and then pops the trunk to find Nadia lying there bound and gagged, but otherwise okay. She flicks open a switchblade and cuts Nadia's bonds and helps her out of the trunk. They cling to each other.", "Sydney: Are you okay? Nadia doesn't answer, just clings to her.", "Cut to an establishing shot of a federal penitentary. Cut to Vaughn and a guard walking down a corridor inside the prison. They get to the end of the hall and stop at the end cell.", "Vaughn: Open it up.", "Guard: Procedure dictates...", "Vaughn: We're old friends. Camera pans to Sark, sitting on his bed inside the cell.", "Sark: Actually, given our shared intimacies with your late wife, I may even go so far as to say we're family... The guard opens the door and Vaughn steps inside, giving Sark a menacing look.", "CUT TO BLACK", "Sark: Mr. Vaughn, your timing is impeccable. The last of my broken bones has finally healed and I sit before you a fresh canvas for your aggression. Before we begin whatever inquisition you're here for, there is a...pesky question that's been lingering in my head. Do you mind?", "Vaughn: Go ahead.", "Sark: Was it the infidelity or the espionage that motivated you to kill the woman I loved?", "Vaughn (with a snort of disbelief): The woman you loved?", "Sark: Yes, loved. (pause) You know, she once actually told me that she longed to love you...but the mundane existence you provided couldn't hold a candle to my passion. Vaughn punches Sark hard across the face.", "Vaughn: That wasn't for sleeping with the woman I was married to; I couldn't care less about her.", "Sark: Then what, the torture?", "Vaughn: This is how it's gonna be...and I'm only gonna give you one shot at this. The CRF... they've hired Anna Espinosa. They're building a bomb. Why have they made repeated attempts to contact you?", "Sark: So it's begun.", "Vaughn: What has?", "Sark: Wouldn't you like to know?", "Vaughn: Well, you're gonna tell me...what they're planning and where they're located. And if you're fishing for some kind of pardon agreement; it's not in the cards. But I am willing to provide you with certain amenities that will make your life in confinement a little more comfortable.", "Sark: I see your bargaining skills have gone the way of your manhood...", "Vaughn: Let me rephrase that: I'd be willing to leave you with what you already have and not make your life more uncomfortable.", "Sark: I don't see that there's much left to take away.", "Vaughn: You stonewall me, and I'll have you shipped to Alder Penitentary, and I'll have you secured in darkened solitary to the end days. 24/7 in a pitch black cell with zero human contact is a slow way to die. Especially with all the demons you've got in your closet; and believe me, they will come knocking.", "Sark: I regret to inform you, Mr. Vaughn...I'm not afraid of the dark. Vaughn gets up and sighs, nodding toward the guard at the end of the hall.", "Vaughn: You should be. I'm having you transferred to Alder tonight. Vaughn is buzzed out of the cell and walks down the hallway and out around the corner, where Jack is waiting.", "Jack: How did he respond?", "Vaughn: As expected.", "Jack: We'll send in the surgical team this evening.", "Cut to establishing daytime shot of LA by helicopter. Cut to Weiss coming to a stop at the entrance to APO's entrance tunnel. Cut to Sydney and Nadia slowly walking up that hallway. Nadia walks forward, Eric walks forward to meet her. He's obviously very worried about her. Stopping in front of her, Eric asks,", "Weiss: What'd she do to you?", "Nadia: I'll be okay.", "Weiss: You sure?", "Nadia: MmmHmm. I should go. Nadia looks back at Sydney, who now approaches them and they walk on to the end of the tunnel where Arvin Sloane is now waiting.", "Nadia (to Sloane): Hey.

We know who she's working for now; we're tracking her down.", "Nadia: She said things...about us. That we'll be torn apart. What does that mean?", "Cut to Sydney and Nadia sitting at Sydney's desk. Nadia has had her wound bandaged.", "Sydney: When Mom died, I requested clearance to her files. I got it. There was an audio tape, surveillance from a hotel in Hamburg. She was talking to a man; his voice was never identified. She was describing the symbology of this (pulls up a photo on her computer screen): the Mark of Rambaldi. She said the outer markings represent her two daughters. The center is the object over which they will do great battle...with each other. Nadia looks up at Sydney, shocked.", "Sydney: Those are her words. (Sydney shakes her head) And then Mom went quiet...it was almost as if the next part were too painful.", "Nadia: Tell me.", "Sydney: Nadia, it's insane.", "Nadia: What?", "Sydney: According to Rambaldi, only one of the daughters will survive. I'm not gonna lie to you; some of the predictions Rambaldi made have come true. So if...if you wanna go back...", "Nadia: To Argentina? Do you believe in all this? Rambaldi?", "Sydney: No. But the people who do are dangerous. They're zealots who will stop at nothing to make their visions into reality.", "Nadia: Are you kidding me? Change my life because some...freakshow made a prediction 400 years ago? Anna can try to tear us apart; make some ridiculous prediction come true...but we're together now.

A light goes on and three men with gas masks enter the cell. Sark does not awaken. One of them is Marshall, he hands a injection gun to another masked man and then opens up a small suitcase and begins typing. The man loads a small glowing pellet into the gun as Marshall's computer says \"Countdown Activated\". The man injects the pellet into Sark's neck. Sark doesn't move. The two masked men and Marshall leave the cell and lock it back up.", "Cut to Marshall's suitcase computer, still linked to the chip inserted in Sark's neck.", "Vaughn: Sark's being transferred to Alder tonight.", "Marshall: Good, because the tracking device is in. That anesthetic gas? Totally knocked Sark out; didn't know what hit him.", "Vaughn: How many hours until the delayed activator goes hot?", "Marshall: Twenty-four. Oh, and if the CRF tries to run a counter-surveillance sweep on Sark? No detecto. That's not the only modification that Mr. Bristow authorized. Now, the tracker is packed with a high-density explosive. Marshall pulls out a small remote and shows it to Vaughn.", "Marshall: Just enough to blow off his melon if he goes off book.

You're messin' with Flinkman.", "Vaughn: Good job, Marshall.", "Cut to Sark in the process of being transferred. He is shackled hand and foot and let out to an armored transport van with no windows and placed into the back. Guard (over walkie talkie heard through wall of van by Sark): This transport team Alpha. We have secured the prisoner and we are in route. ETA 0600.", "Home Base (via walkie talkie): Copy that, Alpha. Just then, we hear a speeding vehicle and then a sudden explosion rocks the van as it skids in reaction. Sark is thrown around in the back of the van. There are sounds of much gunfire as it hits the side of the vehicle.

Three vehicles in pursuit! There are more gunshots and then the van falls over on it's side, throwing Sark around once more. All is quiet, and then the door to the back of the van falls open.

We get a shot of the dead guards inside the front of the van...and then one of them opens his eyes.", "Cut to Jack in his office at APO. There is a knock at the door and Jack looks up to see Sydney.", "Sydney: You got a minute? Jack nods and Sydney enters and sits down.", "Sydney: We picked up chatter on a meet schedule between the CRF and an admistrator at the Chillignost Chemical labs in Estonia...Ivan Vorich.", "Jack: Chillignost was a Soviet run facility; marginal security at best. Theft of a level 4 toxin could go unnoticed there for years.", "Sydney: It's probably just a meet, but...if Anna's there, this would be our best shot at getting her back in our sights. Jack pauses, thinking, then stands up.", "Jack: Take Nadia with you. Observation only. If Vorich has a sample of VX, I want you to find out where it is. This is a surveillance...not a boxing match. Can I trust you to maintain your professionalism?", "Sydney (looking chastened): She brings out the worst in me, Dad, but yes, of course. Sydney looks down as if something is bothering her. Jack immediately notices.", "Jack: What is it?", "Sydney: Anna never checked the sample.", "Jack: Marshall said he couldn't have made a good fake anyway.", "Sydney: You were right, Dad. I was stubborn. I'm sorry.", "Jack: You trusted your instincts to ensure the safe return of a fellow agent...a member of your family...and you succeeded. Sydney looks at Jack and almost gives him a smile.", "Cut to the van containing Sark pulling to a halt in a vacant area.", "Man: Take the motorcycle. Get yourself to CRF headquarters.", "Sark: What about you?", "Man: Follow protocol! Go! Sark gets out of the van and gets onto the motorcycle, puts on the helmet and rides off in the rain.

She is stopped by Sloane.", "Sloane: Sydney? You and your sister? Are you going after Anna?", "Sydney: This is highly inappropriate. Excuse me. She starts to walk off, but Sloane jogs to keep up with her.", "Sloane: Come on, Sydney...you know of Anna's beliefs. Sydney reluctantly stops and turns around.", "Sloane: You know the lengths she'll go to see them realized.", "Sydney: You wanna talk about beliefs!? This is something you wanna discuss? From where I'm standing, it was your mad obsession with Rambaldi that dragged both me and Nadia into this endless pit of confusion. So, given that, let me ask you: What is it you believe?", "Sloane: I believe that if the two of you go out on this mission, and Anna Espinosa has her way (gets choked up)...that only one of you will return home...alive.

I'm checking the satellite...making sure it's not off-line.", "Weiss: You sure you did the insertion properly?", "Marshall: Come on...it's me.", "Jack: I can't stress how critical it is we locate CRF headquarters.", "Marshall: I know, all right? Why is everybody picking on me?", "Weiss sighs and pushes himself back to a stand from leaning over the table.", "Marshall: Seriously! It's hard work...(after a moment) Okay, I got it; it's hot. They are in South Africa...Johanessburg...658 Kroner Street, to be exact.", "Dixon: Let's move, people! Everyone but Marshall gets up and leaves the table.

Just a nice place for a chat. Vaughn puts his gun down and approaches Sark.", "Sark: Really, Michael...don't look so shocked. You couldn't have had such low expectations of me? Vaughn looks as if he wants to beat the crap out of Sark...either that or cough up a hairball. He looks both visibly sick and incredibly angry.

It's the henchman that helped hold Nadia's head in place when Anna branded her.", "Man (to Nadia): I was hoping we could spend a little more time together... Nadia kicks the gun out of his hand and Sydney kicks the man over backward. She turns and looks through the window to see Anna taking a canister that looks like a small fire extinguisher from inside Vorich's coat. Anna looks up and her eyes meet Sydney's.", "Sydney (to Nadia): Vorich had the VX gas with him.", "Nadia: Go! Sydney runs off after Anna as Nadia fights the henchman.

Cut back to Nadia still fighting the henchman. She kicks him and goes in for a punch, but he grabs her arm and knifes her across her side. She kicks him away from her and then whips off her belt. She wraps it around his hands to bind them and then, as they topple over, the knife stabs the henchman in a blow that will soon kill him. Cut back to Sydney, who pulls her gun as she enters another open workspace. She rounds a corner and then reacts as a shot ricochets off the metal plate of an elevator beside her.

Sloane doesn't say anything, just slides a manila folder across the table toward Sark and waits for him to open it. Inside are pictures of mutilated bodies.", "Sloane: You recognize those men?

Now, I've filed numerous requests about her status; all have gone unanswered. What I want...is to visit her grave. I want to see her body for myself.

In this case, we didn't want Lauren's death to become public knowledge. Vaughn puts his hand inside the box behind the opened screen and a light turns from red to green.

Vaughn stands in front of the drawer and slows its movement to a stop.", "Vaughn (sarcastic): Guys like you don't believe in \"closure\". That would actually require you care about something.", "Sark: Perhaps that's true. Perhaps all I can hope for is a moment for us all to share: you, me... (looking down at the drawer) her.

Vaughn glares at him.", "Sark: Do it. Open it. Vaughn nods for a moment and purses his lips in tense anger.", "Vaughn (voice gravelly, still sarcastic): You want your moment? Here, take it. Vaughn grabs the lid to the drawer and, looking away, pulls it up. He rubs at his nose and walks away. He stands several feet from the drawer, arms crossed, turned about 90 degrees so that he doesn't have to look at the body. Slowly, Sark, his hands cuffed in front of him, approaches the drawer and kneels down. Vaughn sneaks a sideways peek and Sark and then looks away again. The look on his face tells us how much this is costing him, both having to be near Lauren again, and having to do this for Sark. Sark purses his lips, as the sight of Lauren in the drawer obviously affects him, as if he'd been hoping until that moment that it weren't true. Slowly, he starts to unzip the body bag that surrounds Lauren from the neck down. Vaughn immediately reacts to the sound of the zipper.", "Vaughn (suddenly, vehemently): Stop! Sark slowly looks up at Vaughn and says softly,", "Sark: My agreement, Mr. Vaughn, allows for this. Vaughn looks away and swallows and steels himself. Sark continues to unzip, pulling the flaps of the bag aside to reveal a gunshot wound in the area of Lauren's heart, and then two bulletholes on the other side of her chest. Seeing the bullet wounds affects Sark; his grief shows on his face.", "Sark (almost to himself): And a perfect triangle at that... (a little louder, bitterly) consistent with CIA training. He stands up and stares at Vaughn, as if betrayed.", "Sark (accusing): It was you. Vaughn turns toward him, showing no remorse.", "Sark (accusing): You did this. Vaughn (hard, steely, not giving an inch): Yes, I did. Sark purses his lips and Vaughn looks away. Sark kneels before the body again and tries to hold back a sob of grief. Vaughn, turned away from Sark, looks slightly guilty. After several moments, Sark stands and tries to compose himself again.", "Sark (pained): I'll take you to CRF... Vaughn looks over at Sark for a moment, almost as if he were surprised at how easily Sark gave in, nods slightly and looks away again.", "Sark (softly): But I want you to face what you did. Vaughn turns to look at Sark. A split second of surprise and then dread crosses his face before he steels himself and then looks down at Lauren's body. For the first time, we actually see Lauren's face as she lies dead in the drawer. Vaughn takes a deep breath as if steadying himself, and then another as he stares at Lauren's face. A host of emotions cross his face: guilt, bitterness, anger, betrayal, sadness and finally the tiniest bit of grief. Slowly, he raises his eyes and meets Sark's. Sark turns his eyes to look down at Lauren again and Vaughn turns his face away, looking as if it's only with sheer willpower that he's able to hold himself together in front of Sark.", "Cut to Sydney talking on her cell phone outside Nadia's hospital room.", "Sydney: Do a search for \"Black Widow\"; it was one of Anna's callsigns. Who knows, she might still use it. Dixon, will you call me if you find anything? (pauses, listening) Okay. She turns off her cell phone as Weiss, sitting in a chair just outside of Nadia's room stands up. They both look as Sloane walks out of Nadia's room.", "Weiss (to Sloane): Is there anything you need?", "Sloane (shaking his head wearily): No. Weiss leaves Sydney and Sloane alone, and enters Nadia's room.", "Sloane: You shouldn't blame yourself, Sydney. I certainly don't hold you responsible for what happened to Nadia. I've said this before; Anna won't kill Nadia. She can't.", "Sydney: After all this, you still believe.", "Sloane: Sydney...my daughter lies there in a medically-induced coma. What else do I have but my faith?

She walks down the hallway and into Nadia's room, where she is covered from head to toe with a blanket. Anna takes three shots and we see the blood starting to seep out the holes before she turns and starts to leave. Sydney enters the otherwise empty floor and starts trading gunfire with Anna. As Sydney ducks for cover, Anna breaks the glass on the fire hose, wraps it around her arm a few times and then approaches the window at the end of the hallway, emptying her clip into the window and then jumping out. Sydney runs toward the sound, but seeing the taut hose, knows she's too late. Cut back to Anna as she dangles a story from the ground and she jumps, safely reaching the ground.

The point is, I did manage to hack in. By the way, is it just me or...does fast-forward make you a little nauseated?", "Jack (ignoring last question): Do we have audio?", "Marshall: All we have is raw video feed, but, fortunately I wrote a voice-reconstruction program based on lip movements a few years ago and...check this out.", "Marshall runs the part of the tape where Nadia is convincing the henchman to talk.", "Nadia (with stilted computerized voice): Why is CRF assembling this bomb?

Sydney and Sark each drink their shot in one gulp; San'ko drinks half of it and then pours the other half in his girlfriend's cleavage and slurps it out. He takes a lusty bite from his lime as Sydney looks on.", "San'ko: So...what is the nature of your business?", "Sark: We represent certain interests that stand to profit should the market fall...If you would provide us with some insider information, we would be happy to split the profits.", "San'ko: How nice of you! Information about what?", "Sark: Our sources tell us you've just acquired a chemical bomb. What do you intend to do with it?", "San'ko: Which weapon are you talking about?", "Sydney: The one you hired Anna Espinosa to steal. San'ko doesn't answer, just looks surprised. Either that, or he doesn't know what Sydney's talking about. She stands abruptly.", "Sydney: Obviously you've never heard of her. Sorry to waste your time.", "San'ko (to Sydney): You want something from me? (He leans forward in his chair, closer to Sydney) I want something from you, my dear. Sydney sits back down.", "Sydney: And what is that?", "San'ko: Mr. Sark has told me about your...predilictions. I have a room above this club. I'd like to watch that...for myself.

He surreptitiously looks around to see if anyone notices him, and then walks into a medical supply room. Once there, he locates a specific vial, removes it from the fridge and grabs a sterile syringe. After looking in the window of Nadia's room, he enters and stands beside Nadia. He reaches into his jacket and pulls out the already loaded syringe and injects the medicine into Nadia's IV tube. Jack sits down in the chair next to Nadia, then reaches out and brushes the hair off of her forehead in an almost fatherly gesture, intimating that it is not his intention to harm her, but that he had no more options. We hear the heart monitor start beeping more rapidly, then Nadia takes a deep breath inward, her head moving to the side as her eyes flutter. Sleepily, Nadia shoves the oxygen mask away from her face as Jack watches on with worry.", "Cut to a full plate of food. Pan up to find Sark sitting in front of it, not eating.

[ "The episode begins in Havana. Sydney rendezvous an informant by dancing with him. The information he gives is relayed to Dixon and leads to the recovery of a hard drive from a locker. Later, Sydney's taxi driver is shot and she is captured by the informant's boss. The informant is shot in the head and Sydney is subsequently buried alive in a coffin, in the middle of a graveyard. The hard drive turns out to have been booby-trapped by Third Faction. When inspected it detonates and releases cyclosarin. The biological nerve agent infects Dixon as he attempted to aid the technician who was inspecting the hard drive. Due to the release of the nerve agent, APO goes into lockdown mode for thirty-six hours. Marshall, late for work, arrives at the parking lot only to be informed that they're in lockdown mode and that Sydney is trapped in a coffin somewhere in Cuba. Sydney is able to communicate with her cell phone that she still had. Because Marshall is the only one not affected by the lockdown, he is sent to Havana to find the graveyard where Sydney is buried; using a transceiver he rigged to locate her cell phone and retasking a thermal imaging satellite, Marshall finds Sydney unconscious, but alive. Marshall and Sydney's mission is extended to Berlin where the man who gave them the phony hard drive is located. Since the man knows what Sydney looks like, Marshall is sent in to get a copy of the data using a remote scanner. Marshall accidentally shoots and kills him. Over the phone, Jack instructs Marshall on how to remove the man's eyes (using a spork) so that he can access a security station in the basement and deactivate a firewall. After doing so, Sydney and Marshall rendezvous and finally obtain a real copy of the hard drive, which they deliver to APO. In the middle of it all, Marshall must sing his baby to sleep by phone with a song about the Lanthanide series. Though his wife is an NSA employee, he can never tell her where he has been." ]

(Scene cuts back to SYDNEY)", "SYDNEY: (Laughing again) But you hate dancing!", "VAUGHN: And yet, I'm taking you. Like I said, I'm very mysterious. You see your driver?", "SYDNEY: Yeah.

Shots are fired from the tailing car and the driver is hit. We now see that there are two cars, Sydney pulls at the door handle but it's locked and then one of the cars hits Sydney's side of the car and she falls back from beside the window.

Creaking noises start and she tries to look around her a bit, as the creaking continues Sydney begins to realize where she is and her breaths become deeper and more frequent.

For how long?", "SLOANE: We estimate about 36 hours.", "SYDNEY: Then, what are our other options? Everyone looks sad and concerned, knowing Sydney's buried alive and they're all helpless.", "MARSHALL: Um, ex- excuse me. Listen, I know you told me you'd let me know if you need anything but... I could do it. I could go to Cuba.", "SYDNEY: Wait a minute, Marshall? You're- you're not in lockdown with the rest of the team?", "MARSHLL: No, Syd, listen... Mitchell this morning, well- it's a long story. How many bars do you have on your cell phone?", "SYDNEY: Four.", "MARSHALL: Four. Okay, good. That's excellent. Every cell phone has a distinct radio frequency that's traceable. If we can get a locator-", "JACK: But there's no way to get the op-tech to you.", "MARSHALL: Well, I could rig one in-country, okay. I mean, the only thing is, Syd, you'd have to stay off the phone while I'm traveling, ya know, just to conserve the battery.", "SLOANE: Done. We go with this. Marshall, there'll be a passport and a visa for you at the airport.", "MARSHALL: Passport and visa, passport and- okay- okay I'm going. He grabs his laptop and gets into the car.", "JACK: Marshall. Sydney has a limited supply of oxygen in that coffin, we have no margin for error, understood?", "MARSHALL: Yeah. I understand, I can do this. Marshall drives off.", "SLOANE: Sydney, I want-", "SYDNEY: No, I get it. I- I'm hanging up now. Sydney hangs up, takes a deep breath, and begins to cry and the coffin creaks some more. The camera moves up from her legs to her face and you see she's shaking, wrists still bound and her cell phone between her hands.

He holds up his contraption.", "MARSHALL: Bueno. The chicken is pecking at the food on the counter.", "MARSHALL: These your chickens?

What do I do?", "MARSHALL: Well... tasking a satellite through the NRO would take forever, so go to the *config* access menu. He sees something and runs over to grab it. It's a shovel.", "MARSHALL: Now, my phone is GPS so you should be able to route the coordinates through the system.", "VAUGHN: Got it.", "MARSHALL: Okay. Now type KH11/INT/THERM/CONFIG.SYS", "VAUGHN: Hang on, I don't see a prompt.", "MARSHALL: Well... there is no prompt.

Vaughn, this isn't that hard.", "VAUGHN: Yeah well, I've never done this before.", "MARSHALL: Well, I do it for you people all the time. Now come on.", "VAUGHN: Okay. I have a visual.", "MARSHALL: Okay. Great, great, great. The commands I gave you should change the view to thermal.", "VAUGHN: Okay. Wait, I see her. Uh, eight rows north from where you are, three graves west.", "MARSHALL: North, west. Okay, I'm on it.", "VAUGHN: Marshall, stop. Turn around. Your other north. He turns and run to the grave Vaughn directed him to.", "VAUGHN: That's it. It's right in front of you.", "MARSHALL: I got it. I got it. Marshall drops his phone and begins digging down into the dirt with his shovel. Vaughn and Jack watch from the monitors and Nadia comes in to see too. Finally Marshall hits the top of the wooden coffin.", "MARSHALL: Syd? Syd? Syd, can you hear me? I'm coming! He clears the dirt away enough so that he can pull off the lid. When he opens it he sees the dead guy and Sydney laying unconscious beside him.", "MARSHALL: Oh my god. No. No. He climbs inside and lifts Sydney out of the grave and onto the ground.", "MARSHALL: Syd? Syd? Syd? Syd? He rolls her over onto her back and taps the side of her face, trying to wake her.", "MARSHALL: Syd? Syd? Syd? He puts his ear to her mouth so see if she's breathing. Nothing.", "MARSHALL: Oh my god. Okay. He gives her mouth to mouth and does some chest compressions.", "MARSHALL: Come on. Come on. The three, now accompanied by Weiss and Sloane, sit in silence at APO watching the screens. Marshall is doing more compressions and listens for breaths again.", "MARSHALL: (with each compression...) Come on. Come on. Come on. Come on. Sydney finally lets out a weak cough and then she begins to cough more intensely and gasp to get air into her lungs again.", "MARSHALL: (whispers) Oh my god. Syd?", "VAUGHN: That's her. She's moving. They onlookers are relieved.", "MARSHALL: Syd? You okay? He strokes her head gently and she looks up at him and smiles timidly, still out of breath.", "SYDNEY: Marshall.", "MARSHALL: Yeah. As she gains her strength and rolls onto her stomach, propped on her elbows... Marshall is exhausted and rolls onto his back. He's smiling and she watches him for a minute.", "SYDNEY: Thanks.", "MARSHALL: You're welcome.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "SLOANE: We have an ID on the Phantom. Alex *Rucker* high tech specialist.

The assumption is that Ulrich has the intel we need to stop it on his computer. Sydney, Marshall, APO is in lockdown for at least another 24 hours, your mission is not over.

She looks to Marshall, speaking in his direction.", "SYDNEY: But we could send someone else.", "MARSHALL: I've never been to Berlin. He smiles nervously as we go to...", "BE®LIN", "Night time in Berlin and Sydney is going over the mission and the gadgets with Marshall in a van. The camera alternates between each of them.", "SYDNEY: Make eye contact with everyone, particularly Ulrich's bodyguards.", "MARSHALL: Why?", "SYDNEY: Well, you have to convince them you're not scared.", "MARSHALL: Right. Yeah, I think you're supposed to do that in prison too... I heard.", "SYDNEY: The flash drive inside will automatically begin transfer when you're within range of his computer, but you have to get kind of close.", "MARSHALL: How close?", "SYDNEY: Two... three feet.", "MARSHALL: Syd, this guy, he buried you alive.", "SYDNEY: Yeah, but he cheated. He hit me with a car first. Marshall smiles and nods a whispered 'yeah.'", "SYDNEY: Ordinary cell phone, right?", "MARSHALL: Right. She demonstrates how it works.", "SYDNEY: Snap off the back. You've got your barrel, your trigger, magazine... the magazine holds two bullets-", "MARSHALL: I know.", "SYDNEY: Be careful when you load it-", "MARSHALL: Syd, I know. I built that, remember? I mean, I built all this stuff.", "SYDNEY: It's different in the field. He nods understandingly.", "MARSHALL: I know.", "SYDNEY: So, be careful when you load it because this is very sensitive up here. Marshall's cell phone interrupts while Sydney is speaking.", "MARSHALL: Hold on one sec. He searches his pockets for his phone and looks to see who it is.", "MARSHALL: It's Carrie. He answers.", "MARSHALL: Hey, honey, hi. What time is it? He switches the phone to the other ear and checks his watch and then switches ears again.", "MARSHALL: Ohhh. Sorry. What's he doing, is he okay? We didn't- I mean, I didn't realize- Aww, poor Mitchell. Alri- you know what, put him on. Yeah, put him on. Well- did you try that thing where you- okay yeah, put him on. Hey. Hey, booboo, hi. Daddy loves you. Marshall clears his throat and sings to Mitchell while Sydney smiles at her observation.", "MARSHALL: Hush... hush... hush little Mitchell, don't you cry. Daddy's here to teach you about Lanthanides. He sneaks a peak at Sydney who is smiling in amusement.", "MARSHALL: Cerium is first, yes it leads the way. Hexagonal structure and it's iron gray. Praseodymium is next and it looks like brass- What? No. I can't make it home right now, I'm sor- Tonight, I promise. By tonight, that's the best I can do. I'm sorry. Yes. Yes, Carrie, it's a crisis. Carrie, I- He realizes that she has hung up on him and he stares at his phone sadly. Sydney watches sympathetically.", "MARSHALL: I told her I'd be home tonight.", "SYDNEY: You will.", "MARSHALL: (whispers) Okay.", "SYDNEY: (quietly) Here. She hands him the cell phone.", "MARSHALL: Right. Wish me luck. He prepares himself and gets up and slides open the door. He steps out and turns back to Sydney who nods to him with an assuring smile and he nods as well before sliding the door closed. At the nightclub, Marshall walks around cautiously while communicating to Sydney who is still in the van.", "MARSHALL: Okay, I'm in. Now what do I do?", "SYDNEY: What do you see?", "MARSHALL: Well, a lot of people who are into spanking apparently. A random woman grabs his face and kisses him.", "MARSHALL: Oh my god, I think I just got hepatitis.", "SYDNEY: What?", "MARSHALL: This woman who looks like *Marlena Detrich* she just kissed me. He wipes his mouth.", "MARSHALL: I don't think she's *I can't make out this part* though.", "SYDNEY: What are you talking about?", "MARSHALL: Nothing... Okay, I see a back office. There's a bouncer standing guard and apparently a lot of men with guns.", "SYDNEY: You can do this, just remember what we talked about. Eye contact. Now, walk up to them and repeat exactly what I tell you. He grabs a drink and nods to the person with the tray.", "MARSHALL: Thank you. He downs the drink in one shot.", "MARSHALL: Okay. He approaches one of Ulrich's bodyguards.", "MARSHALL: I'm uh.. (clears throat) here to see Urich.", "GUARD: Ulrich not seeing anyone.", "SYDNEY: Tell him Alex wasn't the only one betraying him.", "MARSHALL: Tell him Alex wasn't the only one betraying him. The guard talks to Ulrich on a walkie talkie and then motions to Marshall.", "GUARD: This way. They enter an office and Marshall is patted down. The guard hands him back his cell phone and cigarette case with the flash drive inside.", "MARSHALL: Thank you. The man says something to Ulrich in another language and leaves. Ulrich hangs up the phone he was on and Marshall approaches.", "MARSHALL: Mr. *C* Thank you for taking the time...", "ULRICH: Stop. I don't know who you are and you're distracting me at a critical juncture. So, I hope you have something interesting to tell me.. Mr?", "SYDNEY: Okay, this guy's a blow hard.", "MARSHALL: Bristow. Jack Bristow.", "SYDNEY: (slightly startled) That's- that's good.", "MARSHALL: And if I'm wasting your time by being polite, well I'm happy to walk out of here.", "SYDNEY: Wait, don't go overboard.", "MARSHALL: Just don't call me when the Third Faction goes down in flames.", "SYDNEY: Don't mention Third Faction! Marshall sits down across the desk from Ulrich.", "ULRICH: You said you had information about my men, now what is it.", "SYDNEY: Marshall, I'm not getting a reading from the flash drive. Get the case closer to Ulrich's computer. He takes out the cigarette case from his jacket and takes one out and places it in his lips.", "MARSHALL: Cigarette?", "ULRICH: No thanks. Marshall lights the cigarette and tosses the case onto the desk by Ulrich's laptop. He inhales and coughs quietly.", "MARSHALL: I have some... conversations on tape.", "SYDNEY: Perfect. Now just keep that going for two minutes. Tell him he's mentioned on the tapes.", "MARSHALL: You're mentioned on those tapes. Marshall is now more comfortable with his smoking and is puffing away during conversation.", "ULRICH: My men would never go to the government.", "SYDNEY: No, but they would sell you out to the *Slobidan* Wolves.", "MARSHALL: No, but they would sell you out to the *Slobidan* Wolf.", "SYDNEY: Wolves.", "MARSHALL: Wolves.", "ULRICH: So who... who's doing this?", "SYDNEY: Dietrich Gustof, his third in command.", "MARSHALL: Dietrich Gustof, your third in command.", "ULRICH: I'm confused by something. You say you have these recordings, and Dietrich... well he only speaks German.", "MARSHALL: So?", "ULRICH: Doesn't that mean... *speaks a few sentences in German*", "SYDNEY: Okay, he just insulted you. Now say, *tells him what to say in German*", "MARSHALL: I work for myself. And as for these tapes, it's none of your business how I got them. And my German, (subtitled) I know enough to deal with trash like you.", "SYDNEY: Now laugh like it's all a big joke. So he does.", "VAUGHN: Uh, Syd, we've got a problem.", "SYDNEY: What is it?", "VAUGHN: The hard drive is connected to network firewall. Everything you're sending us is encrypted. But hold on, I'm checking all the computer shipments to your location. If we can figure out the system, we might be able to bypass it.", "ULRICH: Alright, Mr. Bristow, bring me that tape and we'll cut a deal.", "SYDNEY: Marshall, we've hit a glitch. Stall.", "VAUGHN: Okay, Syd. We've isolated the firewall, it's located in the basement of the club.", "SYDNEY: I'm on my way.", "VAUGHN: No, no, no, wait, wait. The firewall is biometrically linked to Ulrich. We have to get him down there to disable it.", "SYDNEY: Marshall, change of plans. The hard drive is encrypted, we need Ulrich in the basement to shut down a network firewall.", "MARSHALL: I'm afraid we can't do that... just yet.", "ULRICH: Why, is there some sort of problem?", "SYDNEY: Marshall, you have a gun, use it. Get him to the elevator, I'll meet you in the basement. Marshall reaches into his jacket and gets out the cell phone and fiddles with it under the desk where Ulrich can't see him.", "MARSHALL: You know what they say, never discuss money on your first meeting. I sort of need to settle on a fee first.", "ULRICH: We'll negotiate that after I see what you have.", "MARSHALL: I'm afraid I can't do that. Kind of a policy I have, cash up front. Not really a policy per say more of a been burned by too many fly by night terrorists to trust them sort of thing. Ya know... one day they say 'we'll pay you in gold' and the next they say 'did we say gold, we meant goat-' His cell phone gun goes off, shooting Ulrich in the chest.

A knife of some sort, or...", "MARSHALL: No.", "JACK: Look on the desk is there a letter opener? Marshall rummages through a drawer and finds one.", "MARSHALL: Yeah, got it. Why?", "JACK: You have to cut out Ulrich's eyes.", "MARSHALL: Oh my god.

No, I can't do that. I'm sorry.", "JACK: (firmly) Yes you can... I'll talk you through it.", "MARSHALL: (whispers) Okay. Marshall spins Ulrich's chair around to face him.", "MARSHALL: Alright. Sydney is walking through the nightclub now and approaches a guard. He puts his hand on her shoulder to stop her and she smiles sweetly before twisting his arm and knocking him out. Then she proceeds on her way, fighting more men and obtaining a gun.

Brace the head, the bundle is denser than you think it's going to be.", "MARSHALL: Okay. He- here we go. We see the back of Ulrich's head as Marshall grunts and digs the weapon into his eyes, liquid like noisescan be heard.", "MARSHALL: Oh god. It's oozing. It's oozing everywhere, sir.", "JACK: That means you've ruptured the macula, the eye is useless. Abandon it. Approach the second one gently, like a soft-boiled egg. You're going to need a digging instrument to assist with this. Marshall pulls something else from the drawer.", "MARSHALL: I've got a spork.", "JACK: What's a spork? Jack and Vaughn just look at each other as Marshall explains.", "MARSHALL: It's like a half-spoon... half-fork, will that do?", "JACK: That will work. Marshall unwraps the plastic utensil.", "MARSHALL: (breathing heavily) Okay. Okay. Okay. He throws the wrapper to the floor and grabs Ulrich's head and begins to dig again.", "MARSHALL: Alright... soft-boiled egg. He grunts some more and is totally repulsed as the eye comes out, cradled on the spork.

The guy shoots at Sydney and she fires off a few more shots.", "VAUGHN: Marshall. It's working. There's more shooting until Sydney runs out of ammo.", "SYDNEY: I'm out!", "MARSHALL: Syd! Marshall tosses her the cell phone and she gets a shot off into the guy's stomach and he collapses to the ground.", "MARSHALL: Got it!

Syd, I hate lying to Carrie.", "SYDNEY: I know.", "MARSHALL: It's part of the job though, right?", "SYDNEY: Well, you could tell her the truth. That you had to cut out a man's eyes to save the world.", "MARSHALL: Yeah, I could tell her that. Probably be best just to keep that between us. And I didn't save the world... exactly. Just Hong Kong.", "SYDNEY: You saved me.", "MARSHALL: Yeah... All in a day's work. Sydney looks at him for a second, then smiles, which he returns and unlatches his seatbelt.", "MARSHALL: Anyway. You want to come in, get some dinner with us?", "SYDNEY: (laughs) Yeah. And how would we explain that I drove you home?", "MARSHALL: I don't know, we can think of something.

He goes to open the door to get out but turns around once more.", "MARSHALL: See you tomorrow.", "SYDNEY: Okay. He gets out of the car underneath an umbrella.", "MARSHALL: Bye.

Her head is turned to the right and doesn't ee him approach, she turns her head to see a smiling Vaughn with his hand held out to her. She warmly returns the smile and takes his hand and rises from her spot on the bench. He twirls her gently under his arm and they hold each other and dance slowly in the train station. Vaughn rests his face against hers and she laces her arms around his neck, a wide grin on her face. They sweetly gaze into the other's eyes and Sydney's happiness never fades. As the rest in each other's embrace, they romantically dance us to the end of the show." ]

[ "While searching for Vaughn's father, Vaughn and Sydney discover that Nightingale is a molecular weapons system located in a nuclear reactor in Siberia. Sloane and Jack know about Nightingale and its connection to Elena Derevko. The duo later use Sydney to have Vaughn bring the information to APO and thus make it an official mission. Meanwhile, a mysterious stranger meets with Vaughn in the UCLA library and promises answers about his father in exchange for the Nightingale's coil. Vaughn, Sydney and Jack travel to the Nightingale facility to shut it down and retrieve the coil from the weapon, however, Sydney becomes trapped in the room with the Nightingale device. Jack, Vaughn and Marshall attempt from three different locations to free her, which ultimately leads to Jack shutting down the nuclear core manually exposing himself to harmful radiation. With Sydney's help, Vaughn disappears with the coil to learn more of his father. Marshall later discovers what Jack did, but swears to keep Jack's secret." ]

Pan to a wall (presumably at Langley) with five pointed stars engraved in it with the heading: \"In honor of those members of the Central Intelligence Agency who gave their lives in the service of their country\" As the camera pans down, we see what appears to be a workman who is just finishing engraving or cleaning one of the stars. From the side, we see Vaughn, dressed in a black suit, approach the wall, watching the workman's progress. As he watches, we hear a voice that we assume is a memory playing inside of Vaughn's head:", "VOICE: On behalf of the Central Intelligence Agency, a grateful nation thanks you for your father's sacrifice. This star on the wall is in some ways too small a gesture. The workman finishes, picks up his work bag and walks away as Vaughn walks over to stand in front of the star the workman was working on, as if perhaps it's the one that belongs to his father. The voice in his memory continues to speak as he stares at the star.", "VOICE: Bill Vaughn dedicated his life in service and commitment for his country. His death in the line of duty is a tragedy for his loving wife and his young son. At this point, Vaughn leans closer to the wall, as if he notices something amiss with his father's star. He reaches forward and touches inside the crevice created by the carving, and his finger comes away covered in black grime. He looks over his shoulder to ensure he is alone and not watched, then he reaches into a back pocket and pulls out a large pocket knife. He opens it and starts trying to scrape the black gunk out of the star's carving. As he sees more gunk come out of the hole, Vaughn starts to dig and stab at the hole. Plaster starts coming away from the wall as Vaughn's movements become stronger, almost frenzied. The star has been completely mutilated as Vaughn digs a larger and larger hole in the wall behind it. Franticly, the camera cuts between the hole getting larger and Vaughn digging and yanking at the wall until the whole is large enough for his entire face. He stops to look inside the hole...and an arm pops out of the hole and starts to strangle him. Smash cut to Vaughn sitting upright in bed, breathing heavily as he wakes from an obvious nightmare.

In the process, Vaughn is forced to shoot Dixon to ensure the success of the mission. Meanwhile, Nadia informs Sydney that she's been secretly seeing Katya Derevko. When Sydney confronts Katya, she learns that Irina did not put a contract on Sydney's life at all. Sydney tracks down a message from her mother that has been hidden inside a music box. The message is the number to a bank account under the name of Arvin Sloane. Marshall dupes Jack into signing some papers, which Marshall uses to test Jack for mutations due to his radiation exposure. The test returns positive and Marshall confronts Jack informing him of the effects this may have to people who care about him, such as Sydney if she found out, unless he goes to a doctor. Vaughn, after the success of the mission, learns that his father has actually been dead all this time and that everything, including the journal was forged supposedly by Sloane. Later, Jack reports to Arvin Sloane that Vaughn has returned with the Nightingale coil and that the CIA was still in possession of the Rambaldi artifact. It was also mentioned that Dixon was merely shot in his vest and would eventually recover. During the final moments of the show, a second man referred to as \"Mister Sloane\", and bearing a distinct resemblance is revealed in Santiago." ]

Nadia looks away, hurt. Sydney looks sympathetic, grabs her by both arms and shakes lightly to get her to look back at her.", "SYDNEY: I'm sorry. I've been through this before. Katya's doing the same thing to you that Irina did to me: Telling me what I wanted to hear. Appealing to what I wanted more than anything else in the world: a mother, a family.

It's bad, isn't it.", "Doctor: (to Vaughn); Sir, she's in good hands, but you're going to have to wait outside. Doctor #2 fingers the cut on Sabina's forehead, and it peels off.

Some light.", "Sabina: How long will this take? (Pulls out some tools from underneath her skirt. Including a flashlight which she shines at the laser)", "Vaughn: Hold still. We can't risk destroying the emitter. Wire cutters.

Camp Perry. CIA was looking for female agents with Russian language skills. They rejected me.", "Vaughn: Yeah, but you're probably better off.", "Sabina: That's what I figured. More profit. And more fun, too.", "Vaughn: This should do it. (refering to the laser)", "Sabina: Let me help. (she tries to kiss V)", "Vaughn: (pulls back abruptly) I'm good, thanks. They take the laser.

Get out of here.", "Guard: I'm sorry sir.", "Vaughn: Please leave.", "Guard: I just need to check your identifications. Vaughn goes to show him his ID, but fights him instead. Vaughn turns his back.

I saw the look on your face when I killed that guard. I saved your life.", "Vaughn: Thanks.", "Sabina (smiles): Don't tell me you're torn up inside. I thought you agency boys were tougher than that.", "Vaughn: (looks at her) It was him or me. I'm okay with that.", "Sabina: You could have fooled me. You haven't stopped brooding since we left the hospital.", "Vaughn: Yeah well maybe it's because I don't like being here with you.", "Sabina: You know what I think? This is exactly where you want to be. (she kisses his neck) Vaughn throws her down on the bed, roughly.", "Vaughn: Consider this the second time you've been rejected by the CIA.

Talk to my sister again, I will make sure you regret it.", "Katya: The protective sister, how charming. And how satisfying it must be for you to know you have it all figured out. I would think you of all people should know the world is never black or white.", "Sydney: The last time I saw you, Aunt Katya, you tried to put a bullet in my head. Given the opportunity, I wouldn't mind seeing you suffer. Consider this visit a warning. Leave Nadia alone. (she goes to leave)", "Katya: I had no intention of killing you, nor did your mother.", "Sydney: (she turns back) What do you know about that?", "Katya (smug): I know you believe your mother put out a contract on your life. Surely you must have asked yourself why she would want you eliminated. And I'm willing to bet you haven't come up with a satisfying answer. Your mother loved you.

Yes I did, uuuuh. Is that a problem, ooooor-", "Sloane: There's no problem. Just a curiosity. It's indicated that the blood sample was one of Dr. Vlachko's test subjects. I thought we already analyzed those. Am I missing something, Marshall?", "Marshall: Uh, y'know what? I haven't been getting a lot of sleep lately. Mitchell's got an ear infection (points to his own ear) and I probably just forgot to send it in. (points to Sloane) Sorry. Sorry about that.

However, Marshall, I want you to know, (Marshall looks at him) There are protocols in this office. I'm sure your failure to notify me of this submission is also do to your lack of sleep, yes?", "Marshall: Yes, it probably was. I'm very tired, and I'm not. . . (Sloane leaves) Inside warehouse.

Written by an inventor in the fifteenth century. You breathe on it wrong and it will crumble.", "Jan: Seems like a lot of trouble for an old book.", "Roberts: It's valuable to my employer, so then it's valuable to us.

I came this far, I'd have crossed the finish line. But like I say, I'm a bad guy. Oh, guess what? Your dad is too. I mean, he's not being held prisoner.

Nothing I didn't already know. That she was a criminal. A murderer.", "Sloane: (gets up) Sweetheart, no one is a single thing. Look, I understood Irina. We were both cut from the same cloth. Both committed to our work. And I suppose because of that, we both did some things that are unforgivable. But, Nadia, Irina is also capable of having a great capacity for love. I saw the way she looked at Sydney. The way she held that child in her arms. And I am absolutely sure she felt the same way about you. She searched for you Nadia.

In custody, Roberts, the mysterious man makes contact with \"Marvin Sloane's\" second in command to arrange a meeting to deliver the coil vital to what the impostor Sloane is building, but the meeting goes awry and the coil is stolen. Sloane convinces all that an impostor is responsible for the recent activities. After promising Nadia that he is trust-worthy, Sloane is allowed into DSR to examine the Rambaldi artifacts to determine the impostor's next move. Sloane loses it during the recovery mission and bludgeons a man to death for assuming that the Rambaldi technology is related to eternal life.

But someone was trying to make me believe otherwise.", "Jack: Any idea who may have perpetrated this elaborate conspiracy?", "Vaughn: Arvin Sloane.", "Sydney: One of his colleagues confessed.", "Jack: What possible motive would he have-", "Vaughn: To force me into stealing something they wanted. I mean, come on Jack, do I really have to explain to you what this is about? Sloane hasn't reformed. And he's still after the same things.", "Sydney: There's more, dad. Vaughn wasn't the only person deceived by Sloane. The contract, the hit that was put on my life-I've seen the bank records. The payments paid to the assassin. It wasn't Mom. It was Sloane. He was behind it. He wanted you to kill her. I'm sorry, dad. We should notify the Agency- Chase.", "Jack: No. I'll handle everything. AC's warehouse.

Jack (grabs Sloane and hold him up against the wall): You can't imagine what it felt like looking into the face of the woman I once shared a life with, and with a single bullet ending that life. I ran through every scenario. Why? What was the purpose of having me believe the only way to save my daughter's life was to kill her mother? And then it occurred to me why you would go to such lengths It was for Sydney. You imagined you'd drive a wedge between me and my daughter.", "Sloane: I didn't. I had nothing to do with Irina's death.", "Jack: (pulls out a gun, puts it to Sloane's head) One good reason why I shouldn't do to you what I did to my wife.", "Sloane: Jack, this doesn't make sense. Think about it. Even if I did succeed in undermining your relationship with Sydney-which, given our agreement, runs counter to my self-interest-even then, with all the people in Sydney's life-Vaughn, Nadia, anyone-do you really believe that she would turn to me? Jack, I didn't do this. (Jack lowers the gun) Someone is setting me up. AC's bunker.", "Sinclair: (to Arvin Clone) Who are you?", "AC: Your questions will all be answered in time. It's-what I have, what we can do together, that matters. (Opens Rambaldi manuscript) Years ago, I was with the army corps of engineers. They wanted me to study a certain manuscript. These pages were drawn over 500 years ago by a man of genius who anticipated scientific principles centuries ahead of his time.

I've been collecting them for the past 35 years.", "Sinclair: I don't understand. What do I have-", "AC: I've been following your career, Dr. Sinclair, since Stanford. I need your expertise.", "Sinclair (dubious): You want me to build a 500 year old machine? (laughs) Okay. Listen to me.

What the hell did Sloane say to you?", "Jack: Actually, Agent Vaughn, in this country the burden of proof is established on guilt, not innocence.", "Sydney: Roberts, he's in custody. He said that Sloane was behind the attacks, that he worked for Sloane.", "Vaughn: You want to put them together?", "Sydney: Assume he makes a positive ID. You put him face to face with Sloane. Watch him try to deny that.", "Vaughn: (to Jack) You'll have your proof. Roberts is being lead down a corridor with some guards.", "Vaughn (VO): Roberts, the man you are about to see is your former employer, Arvin Sloane. All we need you to do is make a positive ID.

Know what I'm saying?", "Sydney: So it's not him, but-", "Roberts: But, almost him. This is wild. Like, they don't even look that much alike, but. . .Oh, this is freaky, man. You ask me, both of them give me the creeps. Vaughn, Sydney, Jack, Sloane, walking through APO.", "Sloane: (to Jack) Now that I've been exonerated by your informant, I suggest you find out what it is he really knows. I'll be in my office. I believe it's still mine, yes? (he leaves) The others just stand there discussing.", "Vaughn: Just because Roberts didn't make a positive ID doesn't mean that Sloane's not involved. AC walks up to Sinclair, in the warehouse.", "AC: There a problem?", "Sinclair: (standing, pouring over the manuscripts) Yes, actually there is. You're missing a vital component.", "AC: Am I?", "Sinclair: A transformer coil.", "AC: Which acts as a containment stabilizer.", "Sinclair: Yes, that's right.", "AC: Yes, we were hoping to have obtained the coil by now.", "Sinclair: Well, then you know then, without it a device of this size is incapable of withstanding it's own power output.", "AC: (grins): Hmmm. (moves the manuscript out of the way and takes off his glasses) Maggie. I hired you because countless times you've proven yourself capable of improvising solutions where others have failed.

AC leaves and finds guy from earlier.", "AC: (to Guy) Motivate her. Guy enters room with Sinclair in it. APO Sloane's office.", "Nadia: I want to believe you, but it doesn't make any sense. Why someone would set you up, pursue the same specific things you've pursued in the past.", "Sloane: So you think that I have resumed my search for Rambaldi.", "Nadia: Have you?", "Sloane: Nadia, I made you a promise. I gave up my past obsessions for you. Look, I know I've given you reasons to doubt me. I know I've acted crazy in the past, but what happened in Sienna, sweetheart. . .that won't happen again. I promise. Warehouse. Sinclair tied to a chair.", "Sinclair: (to guy) What he's asking might not even be possible. Even with the component. Please listen to me I'm begging you. Guy turns on machine. Sinclair screams. APO Briefing room. Gang around the table.", "Sloane: As you are aware, evidence indicates that someone has been actively perpetrating crime in my name. Objective is simple-find the man. Apprehend him.", "Vaughn: Assuming he exists at all.", "Jack: That's the assumption we're working with.", "Sloane: Our best lead is Roberts. Where are we with him?", "Dixon: Roberts has been interrogated. His knowledge of the organization he was working for is extremely limited.", "Sydney: But we can still use him. He knows their contact protocol. We give Roberts the coil and put him into play. He makes the exchange, we track the coil back to Arvin Cloane. Minimal laughter around the table.", "Sydney: Sorry, that's what we've been calling him.", "Weiss: Yeah, also, uh, Marvin Sloane. Rolling Sloanes.", "Marshall: But obviously equally disrespectful.", "Nadia: Has Roberts agreed to cooperate?", "Sloane: I'm sure we can persuade him to see things our way.", "Marshall: Um, excuse me, sorry, but we all know the coil is a key component in the Rambaldi design. Rambaldi. Which means that, per your pardon agreement, Mr. Sloane, you must recuse yourself of all matters Rambaldi. You have to leave this room.", "Sloane: Marshall, this mission is about proving my innocence. Sydney, Marcus, talk to Roberts. Help him to see that it's in his best interest to work with us right away. Typical white APO room.", "Roberts: You expect me to double-cross Sloane?", "Sydney: He's not Sloane.", "Roberts: Whoever he is. You dangle bait in front of a man like that, you lose a hand. I'm sorry, but, uh, no can do.", "Dixon: Let's be clear. You play ball with us, or enjoy the rest of your life in prison.", "Roberts: I'll be safer in prison. Trust.", "Sydney: We guarantee immunity from prosecution. National security crimes, Europal records, parking tickets- you name it, it all disappears.", "Dixon: And we relocate you to someplace safe.", "Roberts: Someplace safe, what, like Mars?", "Sydney: You'll have full CIA protection. You have our word.", "Roberts: Look, I met the man twice. I deal with his number 2. Cat named Carter. You think about running a trace, they'll know.", "Sydney: (referring to the phone) The line's clean. Warehouse. Screaming. Carter turns out to be the one torturing her. Carter's cell phone rings.", "Sinclair: Please, no! No, please, no!", "Roberts: I'm hanging up.", "Sydney: No, no. Let it ring.", "Roberts: What do you want me to do, leave a message?", "Sydney: We won't get a chance like this again. Sinclair is screaming. Carter's phone rings. Carter answers.", "Roberts: It's Roberts.", "Carter: Where have you been?", "Roberts: Well, hello to you too, Carter.", "Carter: It's not nice to disappear, Mr. Roberts.", "Roberts: Yeah, well, um, things got a little hot. So I had to lay low for a little while.", "Carter: Lie low. A thing lays. As in you lay a book down. A person lies.", "Roberts: Oh, okay. Uh, well, listen. Why don't we get together. You can give me some grammar lessons, and I can give you that coil you've been looking for.", "Carter: You have the coil?", "Sydney: I'm looking right at it. But considering the considerable risk I've taken to procure it, the price just went up.", "Carter: Name it.", "Roberts: 750. Plus a neutral place to meet. Plus no more grammar lessons.", "Carter: A neutral location?", "Roberts: Yeah, that's right. Or I disappear again, and I take your slinky with me.", "Carter: You can call back in a half hour. I'll have a location. (hangs up, pause, to Sinclair) Might not seem it but this could be the luckiest day of your life.", "Roberts: (to Dixon and Sydney) You people better have my back. Sydney rushes into Jack's office.", "Sydney: (to Jack) The meet is on.", "Jack: Where?", "Dixon: Tomorrow. Around the corner. 1500. Fancy hotel, of course. Nadia and Sydney hacking into the computers.", "Sydney: 47. . .45. . .", "Nadia: He's innocent.", "Sydney: Maybe.", "Nadia: I know it, Sydney.", "Sydney: I hope you're right.", "Nadia: Do you?", "Marshall (on comms): Okay, one more patch ladies and I am tied into the hotel surveillance system.", "Marshall: Perfecto. Que bueno, Nadia y Sydney. All systems up and running, ready to rock.", "Dixon: Moving into position.", "Sloane: Copy Dixon, we have you on screen. Weiss enters hotel with his arm around Nadia.", "Weiss: Oh, this place is killer. We have to get married here.", "Nadia: You haven't even proposed yet.", "Weiss: They don't know yet. We can tell them that we're thinking about it and get a free meal off the sampler menu. Roberts walks through the lobby, carrying the case with the coil. Vaughn comes down the escalator and stops Roberts", "Vaughn: Excuse me sir, do you have the time, please?", "Roberts: Time for me to get the hell out of here.", "Vaughn: Just look at your watch and tell me what time it is.", "Roberts: 2:55", "Vaughn: When Carter arrives we'll move in and arrest him. You have nothing to worry about.", "Roberts: Clearly, you don't know the man. They go on their ways. Roberts passes Dixon, who is sitting, reading a newspaper. Roberts goes to the bar and sits.", "Roberts: (to bartender): Yo, rum cannonball.", "Sydney: (also sitting at the bar) A little early for the hard stuff, don't you think?", "Roberts: No, I don't. In fact, make it 2, one for each hand.", "Jack: We have an approach. Man sits next to Roberts.", "Roberts: Do I know you?", "Man: I'm just here to make the sweep. Make sure you're not carrying any weapons. (Makes the sweep.)", "Jack: Sit tight, Sydney, see where this goes.", "Man: Okay, come with me.", "Roberts: Woahwoahwoahwoah, the plan was to meet here.", "Man: The plan's changed. We're doing this in the penthouse.", "Jack: (to marshall) Show me. Marshall's computer shows the penthouse entrance, with 2 guards standing outside. Roberts and Man go to elevator.", "Jack: All teams redeploy to cover the penthouse.", "Weiss: Moving to the freight elevator. W and N go. Dixon goes. Vaughn goes.", "Jack: Sydney, we need audio on Roberts.", "Sydney: (on cell phone) copy. (she gets up and leaves) At the elevator.", "Man: You got stones, man. Double-crossing Carter like that?", "Sydney (comes up behind them): Sir? Sir, you left this at the bar. (hands Roberts the cell pone, she leaves)", "Roberts: Thanks. (Man checks Sydney out) So, did Carter come himself or did he send somebody?", "Man: Oh, nonono, he wants to do this face to face. They get inside the elevator. Sydney goes for the other elevator.", "Sydney: Following them up. Sydney looks out the elevator glass to see. . .Arvin Clone looking right back at her through the other elevator that is going down.", "Sydney: Something's wrong. He's here. The Clone.", "Sloane: They're gonna cut the cable. BOOM. The cable snaps, it's been cut. The elevator falls.", "Sydney (watches): On my way to the subbasement now.", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Subbasement. Carter opens the elevator with a crowbar. Man and Roberts are dead. Cater picks up the case with the coil and hands it to Arvin Sloane. In Sydney's elevator, she pulls out a gun. Her elevator opens, she walks to the other wrecked elevator. There is broken glass and wires strewn across the elevator.", "Sydney: Roberts is dead. And the coil is gone. APO Sloane is looking at a picture of Arvin Clone. Sydney walks in.", "Sydney: I need to speak with you. I saw him at the hotel. It was only for a moment, but I know now what Roberts was talking about. The man, the imposter-everything about him Sloane. His clothes, his posture, the way he looked at me-it's the way you look at me.", "Sloane: And how is that, Sydney?", "Sydney: Let's just say it's equally disturbing.", "Sloane: Yeah. Well, quite frankly I'm surprised that you didn't get to it before.", "Sydney: What's that?", "Sloane: You read the report. The operation, the elevator cables.", "Sydney: Moscow, 4 years ago.", "Sloane: Yeah, I tasked Julian Sark to a similar strategy in order to relieve a Mr. Karpachev of a certain item I required.", "Sydney: Why would someone be impersonating you?", "Sloane: It appears to be more than that. This man-his strategy, his appearance, his affinity for all things Rambaldi.", "Sydney: You believe, he actually believes he's you.", "Sloane: Ohhhh, perhaps Marshall was right. Perhaps I should recuse myself from any further involvement.", "Sydney: No, you have to stay in it. In fact, you may need to go deeper. The coils, the manuscript, your sense of strategy. If your right about this, he has access to everything. CIA files, your psych reports, mission analysis. You may be the only one who can do it-anticipate his next move.", "Sloane: You're asking me to go back to Rambaldi?", "Sydney: G-d help us, yes. At the CIA Rambaldi storage facility. Sloane is signing some papers at a desk. Dixon watches him. Sloane places his hand on a scanner. Which beeps and replies: identity confirmed. Doorway opens. Sloane enters room of Rambaldi artifacts closely followed by Dixon. Sloane stares at the picture of Sydney from the Rambaldi manuscript. He places his hand on the Rambaldi manuscript cover. Sydney's apartment.", "Sydney (to Nadia): I was wrong about your father. I'm sorry.", "Nadia: I know it's been hard to work with Sloane, to trust him.", "Sydney: That's no excuse.", "Nadia: No, you're doing your job. You don't have to apologize.", "Sydney: Thanks for saying that, but asking him to go back to the thing that was the cause of so many problems. . .", "Nadia: What do you mean?", "Sydney: Chase authorized my request to Rambali-", "Nadia: Are you serious?", "Sydney: He's in there with Dixon, right now.", "Nadia: Sydney. . .", "Sydney: What is it? I thought-", "Nadia: You don't know what I saw. Lat year when my father and I went to Siena, the closer we got to finding this artifact that he wanted, the more he began to change. I saw him slipping away from himself. His passion, this desperation to connect with Rambaldi, it completely overtook him. He became a different man. His eyes were mad, lost. I didn't want to be around him after that. The only reason I agreed to come back, to join APO, it was because he promised me that part of his life was over. We see Sloane pouring over the Rambaldi manuscript.", "Sloane: I know what he's doing. I know what he's doing. APO Briefing room. Gang sits around the table.", "Sloane: The man we're looking for is attempting to construct an energy source- in essence, a massive battery. Is the simplest way to describe it.", "Marshall: What is the power?", "Dixon: We don't know.", "Weiss: So that's why he needed the transformer coil.", "Sloane: That's right. But in order to use it, it's necessary to have an engineer with a specialty in nuclear physics. An advanced knowledge of quantum electrodynamics. There are only a handful of scientists in the world.", "Vaughn: You think one of them is working with our target?", "Jack: Yes, but not by choice. (Turns to big screen. Picture of Sinclair pops up.) Dr. Margaret Sinclair disappeared last week in Krakow. We can presume this is no coincidence.", "Sydney: Could this battery already be completed?", "Sloane: It's unlikely. There are other important components, including Xanthium 242.", "Weiss: How do we know they don't already have it?", "Sloane: I contacted a former colleague of mine in Sicily. Someone who trades in illicit chemicals. Apparently yesterday morning, Arvin Sloane placed an order for an unprecedented amount of Xanthium. I kindly told him to hold the order. That I would be picking it up personally. Nadia and Sloane walking into Sloane's office.", "Nadia: Someone else can do this.", "Sloane: No, it's my contact.", "Nadia: Then you should have backup, I'll come with you.", "Sloane: Nadia, it's a meeting. I don't need backup. Look, sweetheart, I know what you're concerned about. Rambaldi. You have nothing to worry about. I'll be fine.", "Nadia: I think you're asking too much of yourself.", "Sloane: Look, I've proven myself to you, to everyone. I don't have to-", "Nadia: The DSR was a contained environment. You were being watched there were limitations.", "Sloane: The only limitation that was necessary when I was at the DSR was you. When I was studying those manuscripts, the only thing my thoughts kept returning to was you. I was surrounded by symbols of all the things I once believed in, and it all felt meaningless. Having a daughter, knowing you means more to me than anything ever has or ever will.", "Nadia: What about Siena?", "Sloane: I can't change what you witnessed in Sienna. But I can assure you that the man that you saw there no longer exists. I'm sorry Nadia.", "Nadia: For what?", "Sloane: Having me as a father is an arduous undertaking, one that I imposed on you.", "Nadia: Don't say that. I don't want to lose you again.", "Sloane: Then I need to know that you have faith in me. Sicily Racetrack. Sloane walks up to Ignacio in the stands and sits next to him. A horse and rider are running.", "Sloane: Considering she doesn't like running on a wet track, that mare is quite the longshot.", "Ignacio: Mr. Sloane, it's been so long-in person, I mean.", "Sloane: Well, I've had to take some precautions of late. Do you have the package?", "Ignacio: Yes, of course. (hands Sloane a pair of binoculars) Sloane twists the lenses off the binocular and pulls it out. There is a tube of liquid inside. Sloane takes it.", "Ignacio: There is a question I've been wanting to ask you for the longest time. Now that you are here. . .", "Sloane: Yes, what is it?", "Ignacio: This Omnifam foundation you founded, feeding the world's poor and hungry- what was that really about? Sloane puts the binoculars up to his face.", "Ignacio: What was in that food you sent to those impoverished countries?", "Sloane: Ignacio.", "Ignacio: I know you were involved with genetic experimentation.", "Sloane: Ignacio, the fact is that someone in the black market is posing as me. And that same someone placed all the previous orders of Xanthium 242 with you.", "Ignacio: Mr. Sloane, he- he followed all of you protocols. I didn't know. I swear.", "Sloane: Ignacio, I'm not here to hurt you. But you need to tell me exactly where that shipment was supposed to be sent.", "APO", "Jack walks into Marshall's office/lab.

You can say noon.", "Jack: Just do it!", "Dixon: (walks up) Sloane is joining the tactical team?", "Jack: Considering whom we're up against, and considering our need for Rambaldi information", "Dixon: And are you considering the man himself? It's one thing to allow Sloane into the DSR, But if his imposter has assembled the Rambaldi device and Sloane is put in front of it, what assurance do we have-", "Jack: I'm calling the shots here, Marcus.", "Dixon: And you have a problem with my questioning Sloane's motives.", "Jack: As far as I'm concerned, at this juncture, Sloane's motives are irrelevant. If he can help bring the imposter to us, I say let Sloane do what he needs to do. Go to Santiago. Let's end this. Dixon nods and leaves. Santiago A van pulls up to a gat.

They jump out the back with Sloane, Vaughn, Nadia.", "Sydney: (on comms) Outrigger, do you have visual.", "Dixon: (still back at the gate) I count 7 tangos so far. Still searching for the hostage.

You can begin assembly immediately.", "Sinclair: I could have worked more efficiently if you hadn't ruined my hands.", "AC: I have faith that you'll find another way.", "Dixon: I've got a twenty on Dr. Sinclair. Northwest side, Level 2. Hangar's on the ground floor, east side.", "Sydney: Understood.", "Vaughn: All right, we'll split up. One team retrieve the hostage, the other secures the lab.", "Sydney: I go with Sloane.", "Sloane: I was gonna suggest that myself. The 2 teams walk off in separate directions. Sydney with Sloane. Nadia, Vaughn, and Weiss. Sydney, Sloane come to a password box. Sydney puts password device on it.", "Slaone: (watches Sydney) Strange, isn't it?", "Sydney: What's that?", "Sloane: All our years working together, this is the first time I've been with you in action. Up close.", "Dixon: Alpha team, you're almost on target. Take the next left. Vaughn, Nadia, Weiss, running down a corridor. All of a sudden, bad guys shooting at them. Bad guys run through a door and close it.", "Vaughn: Watch your fire. They've got Sinclair. They run up to the closed door.", "Vaughn: It's locked.", "Weiss: Stay back, stay back!

Secure the device from the hangar and meet me by the side exit. Password box says -DECODING-JA", "Sydney: What is this? This is taking too long. If this were your facility, what would the access code be?", "Sloane: J-A. . . Try \"Jacquelyn\" J-A-C-Q-E-L-Y-N. Sydney types it in and door opens.", "Sydney: Am I supposed to know who that is? They walk into the hangar, They see big Rambaldi ball.", "Sydney: I'll set the charges.", "Sloane: No. No, we don't have to. We can dismantle it.", "Sydney: No, Sloane.", "Sloane: Sydney, we have to consider the value of this.", "Sydney: I don't care.", "Vaughn: (on comms) Phoenix, we're cut off. They've got Dr. Sinclair. You've got to intercept them.", "Sydney: Where?", "Vaughn: Northwest corridor. Headed your way.", "Sloane: Go. Go.", "Sydney: I'm on it. (she leaves the hangar) Minutes later, Cater enters hanger and sees Sloane's back.", "Carter: Mr. Sloane? I thought we were supposed to rendezvous on the side entrance.", "Sloane: (turns around, gun drawn) Hello. We see Arvin Clone with Dr. Sinclair and 2 guys. Sydney enters and starts shooting. Sinclair runs and hides. Arvin Clone runs out with one guy. Other guy start shooting at Sydney. Sydney shoots a can of vapor. Vapor hits guy in the face. Sydney runs up and fights guy. Sydney knocks guy unconscious. Vaughn and Weiss enter through other door. Sydney (to Vaughn and Weiss, referring to Sinclair) Stay with her. (Sydney runs out.) Back to Sloane and Carter in the hangar.", "Sloane: Who's the man misrepresenting me?", "Carter: It's Arvin Sloane.", "Sloane: I am Arvin Sloane. Carter tries to pull out his gun. Sloane shoots him in the knee. And he falls, screaming. Sloane picks up the miniature Mueller device shown to Sinclair earlier.", "Sloane: Do you know what this is that you're doing?", "Carter: What the hell do you want?", "Sloane: Do you understand what you're dealing with here, and for what?", "Carter: Please, he told me-Mr. Sloane-", "Sloane: Listen to me. Don't make me tell you again who I am. You fool.", "Carter: He told me- he told me that I can live forever.", "Sloane (goes berserk): No! (he hits Carter with the Mueller device) Is that what you think this is all about?! Immortality?! You bought the rumor, you simple-minded dilettante! (He hits him again. They both scream. We see Nadia walking.) A mystery. The true secrets of these creations will always be held back (Sloane has blood splattered across his face.) from you, the unworthy! (Sloane hits Carter about 5 more times. More blood is splattered on Sloane. Nadia walks in. (He's calm again.) Nadia. ( Carter is dead) It's all over. It's all over, honey." ]

Sophia, Nadia's caretaker when she was young, calls her and she comes to Los Angeles. She reveals that she was beaten when someone came to look for Nadia. Meanwhile, Vaughn and Dixon go on a mission in Amsterdam to find an agent who might have gone rogue. Dixon's associate is actually pursuing leads on Hydrosek, a water-based weapon developed by Indonesia that could wipe out entire ecosystems and kill millions. Sloane (via Marshall) acquires intel on Sophia just to be sure she was telling the truth, but Sydney finds out. Jack and Sloane later confess that they know that someone has been watching Sydney and Nadia since they were young and acquiring information about them. It is revealed that Elena Derevko is the one who has been accumulating the information. It is then shown that Sophia and Elena are one and the same." ]

To that end, they placed an undercover agent within the organization. His name is Thomas Raimes. (his picture pops up on the screen) He specializes in prolonged deep-cover work.

Right now, I gotta get back out there, because Kradic is meeting with an associate.", "Dixon: Then talk fast, Tom. We need answers.", "Raimes: You don't understand.", "Dixon: So explain it to us.", "Vaughn: Why haven't you checked in with your handlers?", "Raimes: Kradic is paranoid.

Which is it?", "Raimes: You think I sold out?", "Vaughn: You tell us.", "Raimes: All right, I had the intel, okay? But if I would have warned Langley, Kradic would have known we were on to him.", "Vaughn: So you decided to let 15 people die?", "Raimes: I had my reasons.", "Dixon: We're listening.", "Raimes: Kradic is after a new weapon developed by the Indonesians. It's a water contaminant. It can wipe out whole ecosystems. Kradic has a line on it. The Embassy bombing was crucial to acquiring the weapon. It was a handful of lives against a half a million.", "Dixon: That's not your call to make.", "Raimes: You weren't there. Now, look, if I'm not back in a few minutes, Kradic is gonna know something's wrong. Yes, 15 people died, but if we don't recover that weapon, It'll be hundreds of thousands.

The explosion triggered those protocols.", "Jack: Kradic must have been prepared to intercept the outgoing data.", "Vaughn: The location of the hydrosec must have been in those files. He knows where it it and now he's putting together a team to steal it from the Indonesians.", "Sloane: Indonesian officials deny that their intelligence has been compromised.", "Dixon: What else could they say? If they admit to developing hydrosec, they'd be violating international weapons treaties.", "Raimes: We're talking in circles here. The only option we've got is to make Kradic lead us to the weapon. We could take them out before he gets a chance to use it.", "Sloane: Dixon, what's your tactical assessment?", "Dixon: Considering our situation, I think our best bet is to keep Agent Raimes in the field.", "Vaughn: Agreed. You and Vaughn will shadow.", "Dixon: Copy that. We see Kradic and Bodyguard where they were earlier.", "Kradic (to Aleksander): Go check on Raimes, make sure he's okay. Aleksander goes. Back in bathroom.", "Dixon: We'll outfit you for comms.", "Raimes: No dice. Kradic has stat of the art counter-surveillance detection.

Linus Halsey. Why?", "Dixon: Does Kradic know this hacker face to face?", "Raimes: You're thinking of switching him out?", "Vaughn: Well, you stand a better chance with another man on the inside.", "Raimes: Fine, but you better hurry. He'll be here in one hour? Raimes walks out and runs right into Aleksander.", "Aleksander: Hey, what the hell? Where did you go?", "Raimes: Let me tell you something. Shooting whiskey on an empty stomach-not good. What's the matter, Milos pushing you around again?", "Aleksander: He's waiting.", "Raimes: You're like a little girl. Come on, Let's go.", "APO", "Sydney: I'll start with Langley, see if they have an open file on Halsey.", "Jack: If there's a current file photo, we can run his faceprint through interpol's biometric city scan.", "Sloane: Make it fast.

Vaughn follows, landing the dumpster 3 seconds before Halsey can climb out. They commence running.", "Vaughn: Dixon, coming your way. Running, running. A car runs into Halsey and he rolls over it. Halsey runs right into Dixon who probably stabs him with a needle. Vaughn runs up.", "Vaughn: I would have had him.", "Dixon: I know.

You wouldn't have known me.", "Sydney: I bet I would have.", "Nadia: No. I was crazy, wild. I don't know what Sophia saw in me. She was always telling me, I was her special one. For years after I left the orphanage, that was the only thing I could hang on to. I knew someone, somewhere, believed in me.", "Sydney: You were lucky to have a person like that in your life.", "Nadia: Yeah. Sophia's hospital room. Sloane storms in.", "Sloane: Why did you really come here? Tell me?", "Sophia: I don't know what you mean.", "Sloane: I know all about Jose Pedraza. I know how the Argentine police found his body. I know they found a suspect's fingerprint. But they couldn't find a match. I did.", "Sophia: He was hurting my girls, and I was the one who hired him to tend the grounds. I didn't realize.", "Nadia: Did he hurt Nadia?", "Sophia: He tried. I didn't give him the second chance. I know what I did was wrong, but they were my children.", "Sloane: Yeah. I would have done the same thing. Still, that doesn't answer my question.", "Sophia: All I ever wanted was to protect Nadia. When she was brought to me as a baby, she was in danger. I changed her last name to Santos so nobody could find her. (What was her name before? Derevko, Sloane, Bristow?) The men who attacked me in Lisbon-They weren't after me. They were after Nadia. They wanted to know what name I had given her.", "Sloane: And what did you tell them?", "Sophia: Nothing.", "Sloane: Why didn't you tell Nadia?", "Sophia: When I saw her with her sister, with you. . .She deserves the happiness she's found here.

Now this is one nanogram of hydrosec, which is one billionth of a gram in a 500 milliliter of water.

(Dixon sits) Your reputation proceeds you, Mr. Halsey.", "Dixon: You're too kind.", "Kradic: Temperamental. Arrogant. Vindictive. Violent. Vain. Petty and deceitful. We see Vaughn listening in to the conversation in the back of the van. The real Halsey sits with his mouth taped up.", "Dixon: You're forgetting talented. Brilliant. And easy on the eye.", "Kradic: Ha, there is that. You are supposed to be brilliant.", "Raimes: They say you're the best hacker in the EU", "Kradic: That's the rep.

That's on one ear. What happened?", "Dixon: After he stiffed me. . .", "Vaughn: He hacked Kroner's credit card to buy hookers.", "Dixon: I hacked into his credit card account, charged it exactly 10,000 euros to several young ladies in the red light district, and then sent the bills to his wife. Yes, I did. Raimes and Aleksander start laughing.", "Kradic: We leave in an hour. Aleksander, tell the team to meet us at Tuege airfield.", "APO", "Jack in his office peeling the skin off the palm of his hand. Grabs a letter opener, and uses that on it. Sydney wlks in.", "Sydney: You wanted to see me?", "Jack: I was thinking. . .The embassy transmission that Kradic intercepted-the network tap he installed would have had to have been physically placed on the premises.", "Sydney: I don't follow.", "Jack: It would be too risky to send someone to retrieve it afterwards, so we can assume, it stores the information.", "Sydney: Which means we might be able to access it as well and download the same intel Kradic got off it.", "Jack: This is all assuming the Indonesians haven't already located and removed the tap.", "Sydney: It's worth a shot. I'll get Marshall right on it. She leaves. Jack resumes scraping the palm of his hand with a letter opener. He cuts his hand open and he pulls out a capsule. The look of shock on his face is obvious. Doctor Liddel's office.", "Liddel: Decades of research went into the development of this little marvel, and you yank it out with a letter opener?", "Jack: What are you talking about?", "Liddel: You don't have the faintest-I implanted it to regulate the medication in your bloodstream. I explained the entire procedure to you.", "Jack: You did?", "Liddel: I did.", "Jack: I have no memory of this.", "Liddel: Well, we talked about the fact that memory loss could be a side effect. I even implanted a second one in your calf. (Jack lifts up his pants legand we see a gauze strip) You don't remember that either, do you?", "Jack: My position, my job-this side effect is unacceptable.", "Liddel: I can adjust the medication. But your condition is progressing quicker than I had anticipated. Jack, have you thought anymore about what we discussed? About Sydney?", "Jack: Sydney has had to face so many things in her life. Too many for someone so young. And now, given my condition, I don't want to burden her. It's not fair.", "Liddel: Honesty-that's fair. You won't always be around to protect her, Jack. She has to know the truth before it's too late. Back of a van, On the way to the airport. Dixon and Raimes chat.", "Raimes: You disagree with my decision?", "Dixon: The embassy? I wasn't there.", "Raimes: I was boxed in. So, I made a call. Did some civilians die? (nods) Yes. Would I do it again? Absolutely. (shakes his head as Dixon looks on) There are sacrifices we have to make. There are casualties in the business that we're in. You disappoint me, Marcus. There was a time you understood that.", "Dixon: That was a long time ago. Things are. . .different.", "Raimes: What happened, you get religion?", "Dixon: I had that. No, I got married. Had kids. Changes a man.", "Raimes: Hm. You mean it softens.", "Dixon: I mean it deepens, Gives a man perspective. Maybe we need men who can make the hard call, weigh the many against the few. I just know that every time I think of those 15 people at the embassy, it weighs on me.", "Raimes: (pause, in which he tries to speak but can't) How many kids you got?", "Dixon: A daughter, Robin. And a son, Steven.", "Raimes: And the lucky lady? (smiles)", "Dixon: My wife was killed a few years ago. What you would call a casualty of the business we're in. Teuge Airfield. We see some airplanes. It's nighttime. A van pulls up. We see Vaughn inside a shed dialing on a cell phone. Aleksander and Kradic get out of the van. Aleksander walks off.", "Kradic: Make sure the plane's ready to go.

It turns out m father was right.", "Nadia: We've got a source on the hydrosec.", "Sydney: It's in a manufacturing plant in Peru. Unfortunately, (Jack walks in and takes a seat at the table) Kradic beat us to it. He must've had a team in place. Four hours ago there was a fire in one of the research labs.", "Nadia: Our theory is that one of Kradic's men caused the accident to steal the hydrosec.", "Sloane (nods): It fits their M. O. Using disaster to achieve their operational objectives.", "Sydney: Well, the big question is, since they have it, where do they plan to use it.", "Sloane: It's most likely that Kradic will set up a rendezvous with the heist team. Our best course of action would still be to keep Dixon in play. That's it. (Nadia and Sydney leave, he looks at Jack) Something else, Jack?", "Jack: I know we agreed to keep this between ourselves, but the time has arrived. Personal considerations have been weighing on me, Arvin. We need to tell them the truth. (he looks over at Sydney and Nadia at their desks)", "Sloane: Yes, I know. You're right. I'm afraid that Nadia's already in danger. Teuge airport. Aleksander walks up to the rest of the group.", "Aleksander: Fully fueled and ready to take us over the border.", "Kradic: Get the gear. Let's move. Bodyguards gather stuff. Dixon and Raimes walk ahead. Followed by Aleksander and Kradic. We all of a sudden see another group of men walking. This group includes the suspicious looking Man from earlier.", "Man: I'm in place. Do you read?", "Man on comms: Go ahead. Aleksander hears beeping and pulls out ear piece which he places in his ear.", "Man: Kradic has gathered a total of six team members, and they're en route to the plane.", "Man on comms: And Agent Dixon is still embedded?", "Man: Securely. Aleksander hears all of this. He whispers in Kradics ear. Dixon and Raimes continue walking.", "Kradic: (yells) HEY! Bodyguards, Kradic, and Aleksander all pull out guns. Dixon and Raimes turn around.", "Dixon: What's going on?", "Vaughn: Outrigger, I'm in position. (he closer to them, behind some boxes)", "Kradic: I have a better question. Which one of you is Agent Dixon?", "Dixon: (laughs) What? Oh, man, you're out of your mind.", "Raimes: Milos, come on. Put the gun down. Take it easy.", "Kradic: Enough! Aleksander intercepted a transmission.", "Dixon: Transmission?", "Raimes: What are you talking about? You're just being paranoid.", "Kradic: I know one of you is an agent.", "Vaughn: If I move any closer, I'll be made. Do you have a weapon? Dixon shakes his head.", "Raimes: Milos, come on. Let's talk this thing through. Come on.", "Kradic: We are not doing anything until I find out the truth. (looks at Dixon) I sensed something was wrong about you.", "Dixon: No, no, no. you wrong! (yells and points at Kradic) You know my reputation. You checked out the Kroner job.", "Kradic: I should have trusted my instincts.", "Dixon: Now, see, this is insane. I am not an agent!", "Raimes: Take it easy.", "Kradic: Who do you work for? CIA? Mossad?", "Dixon: Man, What you talking about?", "Raimes: Milos, nobody here is an agent.", "Kradic: Okay, then you leave me little choice, huh? I'll have to kill both of you. Which one of you would like to die first?", "Dixon: Nobody's got to die. We're all on the same side here. Everybody just needs to calm down. Lower your guns.", "Kradic: Okay. (puts away gun) Kill both of them. Raimes punches Dixon and pulls out a gun. He shoots the bodyguards. One of their guns lands near Dixon, who picks it up. He aims his gun at Aleksander and Kradic.", "Dixon: Enough!", "Vaughn: Outrigger, don't shoot Kradic. We need him to lead us to the hydrosec.", "Dixon: Let me finish this. (to Raimes) Get on your knees. (Raimes complies) This is how you deal with traitors. (to Raimes) What you got to say now, Agent Dixon? (Places his gun to Raimes's chest) So Dixon, any last words?", "Kradic: Hey, casualty of the business I'm in.", "Vaughn: He's giving us an out. He's sacrificing himself to save the mission. Shoot him. Do it. BANG Raimes falls to the ground.", "Dixon: (turns to Kradic) We have business to do, and we need to get out of here before this guy's backup shows. (hands his gun to Kradic) You're welcome.", "Kradic: (takes the gun and turns around) Let's go. Kradic, Aleksander, and Dixon board the plane. The plane takes off. Vaughn runs out to Raimes. Vaughn takes out a phone and dials.", "Vaughn: This is Agent Vaughn, field code alpha-5-0-niner-charlie. Request authorization for a code 4 medivac. We have an agent down. APO Sydney walks up to Marshall and Weiss at a desk.", "Sydney: Vaughn just reported in. Agent Raimes is being medivaced to Deventer. He's critical but stable. They're saying the shot didn't hit any of his vital organs. Dixon saved his life. He just boarded a plane with Kradic and his team. Here's the tail number of his flight.

Jack and Sydney walk in.", "Sydney: What is this about?", "Sloane: Please, come in.", "Jack: There's something we need to tell you, something you have the right to know. It concerns your mother's sister. Nadia and Sydney look at each other.", "Sydney: Katya?", "Jack: Elena. She was one of the KGB's foremost assassins, responsible for the murders of countless diplomats and politicians throughout eastern Europe. In the course of her work she earned a reputation fro being the cruelest of the Derevko women.", "Nadia: Why are you telling us this now?", "Sloane: Because, almost 30 years ago, Elena disappeared. It was rumored she had a falling out with Irina. Elena severed all ties with the KGB, as well as her family. Both the CIA and the KGB tried to find her, but to no avail. Even Irina couldn't locate her.", "Sydney: But you found something.", "Jack: I received a message from an old associate about a year ago that led me to one of Elena's safehouses in Warsaw.", "Sloane: Inside we found this. Sloane lays 2 books in front of Sydney and Nadia. They each open them to reveal pictures of them.", "Sydney: It's me in college.", "Nadia: This is my old apartment in Argentina.", "Sydney: My grad school transcripts.", "Nadia: I was nine here.", "Jack: Given what's here, we can assume she's been surveilling you both for at least a decade.", "Sloane: We can also assume she is responsible for the attack on Sophia.", "Nadia: Why? What does she want from us?", "Sloane: We don't know. We're doing everything we can to find out. We see Sophia at a computer listening in on the conversation.", "Sydney: What did you learn? The conversation continues. The words are unintelligible.", "Man: (still suspicious-looking from earlier, on phone) It's me. The plane is in the air do you know where they're headed?", "Sophia: (on phone) I'll contact you once I have their final destination.", "Man: I'll be waiting. I won't let you down Elena. Elena/Sophia is still listening in on the conversation.", "Sydney: Do you have any idea where Elena is now?", "Sloane: At this point, she could be anywhere." ]

[ "Jack has been hallucinating visits with Dr. Atticus Liddell, a man that Jack helped relocate in 1981. Liddell specialized in radiation therapy and is believed to be the only man capable of improving Jack's health, only no one knows where Dr. Liddell is except for Jack. When Jack wakes up in a hospital, he thinks Sydney is his ex-wife, Laura. Sloane then asks Sydney to pose as her mother to get information from Jack that will lead to where Dr. Liddell is hiding. A fake house is set up and re-created to look like his former house in 1981. He reveals openly to \"Laura\" that he was relocating Liddell to Helsinki. Sydney subsequently finds him and brings him to APO to help Jack. Elena steals the Hydrosek recovered earlier and kills her ally after the heist." ]

She hands drinks to the others.", "Dixon: What's taking so long?", "Kradic: You're an impatient b*st*rd, aren't you?", "Dixon: Time is money.", "Kradic: (unworried) The hydrosec will be here soon, at which point we'll move on to the next stage.", "Dixon: Which is?", "Kradic: Dispersal. (Sydney leaves) For now, we'll relax and enjoy ourselves. (picks up his glass) Cheers.", "Sydney: (to comms to Marshall, Sloane, and Nadia, who're at APO) Outrigger's armed. He's in VIP with Kradic and 2 others. Expect delivery of hydrosec any minute.", "Sloane: Good work, Phoenix. Once delivery is confirmed, we need to take every precaution to ensure the hydrosec remains stable.", "Nadia: Have we confirmed the method of transport?", "Sloane: It was Jack's responsibility. He hasn't checked in yet, this morning, has he?", "Nadia: No. (shakes her head)", "Marshall: Now, it'll most likely arrive in a large metal, biometric case- y'know, the kind that are usually named after large multinational corporations.", "Sloane: Shotgun, what's your status?", "Vaughn: No sign of Kradic's men yet. We see suspicious looking man from previous episode pick up a glass and walk off. Kradic's phone rings and he answers.", "Kradic: (into phone) Yeah? (pause) Good.

APO Sydney walks to Vaughn at his desk.", "Sydney: Hey", "Vaughn (looks up): Hey", "Sydney: Have you seen my father?", "Vaughn: Nothing yet, huh?", "Sydney: I'm worried. I left him like a dozen messages. He was supposed to report in 2 days ago.", "Vaughn: So what do you want to do about it? Jack's apartment building. It's kinda fancy in an old sort of way. Vaughn and Sydney step out of the elevator. They walk down the hallway.", "Vaughn: So, this is where your dad lives, huh?", "Sydney: Yeah, what did you expect?", "Vaughn: I don't know. A bunker or something. So, you've really never been here.", "Sydney: No.", "Vaughn: That's very strange.", "Sydney: As opposed to everything else about my relationship with my father. 301. Here it is. (First, she knocks. Then decides to pick the lock, and opens the door.) Dad? Inside we see a well-kept living room. With dark brown leather couches. It's spotless.", "Vaughn: Not much for clutter, is he?", "Sydney: No. She goes over to an end table and picks up a picture of herself. She places it back and sees what looks like a bowl of pet food on the floor. Not all of the food is in the bowl. Some of it is on the ground.", "Vaughn: Sydney, come here, look at this. (he's paging through a journal) Body temperature, blood pressure, blood cell counts. He's monitoring his vitals.

(he's looking at some papers)", "Jack: Limited, not exhausted. (he puts on his jacket)", "Liddel: Science is full of happy accidents. Alexander Fleming spent years trying to figure out how to treat bacterial infection. He needed a vacation so bad, he forgot to wash his Petri dishes before leaving the lab. So he comes back, a week later, well rested, tanned, and what's he faced with? A stack of moldy dishes. But he looks a little closer, and son of a gun. Not an iota of bacteria growing anywhere near the mold. Penicillin. Just a happy accident.", "Jack: Fascinating anecdote, although its relevance to my condition isn't exactly-", "Liddel: I have spent most of my career researching genetic mutations. Mostly in rats. I like rats. Much smarter than they're given credit for. These little buggers were exposed to the mother lode of radiation. I was distracted one day-problems with my wife-and I accidently gave them a lethal dose of an alkylating agent. But lo and behold, a few of my rats survived. Milo lived to the ripe old age of 4", "Jack: That's something.", "Liddel: Yes, but 84% of my rats were dead within a week. And given what they went through, death was a blessing.", "Jack: We both know the prognosis for my condition. I don't see that I have a choice", "Liddel: This alkylating agent was discontinued decades ago. It's considered too lethal, even in a controlled environment.", "Jack: I have contacts. I'm sure I can procure the necessary chemicals.", "Liddel: Here's what we need. (he pulls a piece of paper out of a cabinet) Jack, as one friend to another, these drugs are nasty.

Whoever this poor guy is you're gonna be torturing-", "Jack: Curious morality coming from a guy who kills monkeys for a living.", "Anthony: What I'm saying-be conservative.

If he's as sick as we think he is, it's likely that his mental faculties are impaired.", "Vaughn: Which means, someone might be preying on Jack using the false promise of a cure.", "Sloane: We must act quickly.

Remind me to kiss you.", "Marshall: Uh, okay.", "Weiss: What? What'd she say?", "Marshall: Uh, nothing. Dr. Liddel's office. Jack is in the chair. It has restraints.", "Liddel: Everything's set. The whole procedure should take about 4 hours.", "Jack: What are these restraints for?", "Liddel: Uh, some patients go into convulsions when they're unconscious. I didn't want you to hurt yourself. Jack, have you thought about talking to Sydney? (he puts on the restraints)", "Jack: I do keep to many secrets. When this is behind me that's gonna change. Sydney deserves more.

They've taken him to the infirmary.", "Sloane: So, he injected himself with poison?", "Vaughn: Well, apparently, he thought is was a cure. Now, they got it out of his system, but this illness- they say within 72 hours, his condition will advance to the point where it's irreversible.", "Slone: Did he wake up in the ambulance?", "Vaughn: He kept wanting to see his doctor, Dr. Liddel.

Picture of Liddel up on the screen.", "Sloane: Dr. Atticus Liddell.", "Dixon: He exists?", "Sloane: He did. 25 years ago, Atticus Liddel developed a radical thesis regarding the treatment of genetic mutations. IN 1981, he left the US to pursue his theories. He was working with patients devastated by an undisclosed nuclear accident in the Soviet Union. Unfortunately, it was the cold war. Shortly after he arrived, the Soviet's became convinced that in addition to being a physician, Liddel was also a spy, which he was.", "Vaughn: Did they kill him?", "Sloane: No. One of Jack's handlers informed us of the Russians' suspicions, and Jack was able to extract him before they could act. He changed his name, gave him a new identity.", "Sydney: Then there must be a record of where Liddel is located.", "Sloane: No. In those times, Jack and his handler had a strict policy-anything that sensitive, they kept no documentation.", "Sydney: So, we have to contact my Dad's handler.", "Sloane: Jack's handler is dead. He died 8 years ago.", "Dixon: But supposing Jack knows where Liddel is, why didn't he make contact when he first developed symptoms?", "Sydney: He thought he did.", "Marshall: Wow. Mr Bristow hallucinated the one man who can actually save his life. Even his delusions are lucid.", "Vaughn: A man like Liddel can't just disappear.", "Sydney: Yes, he could, if he was hidden by my father. Sydney is looking in at Jack's desk when Nadia walks up.", "Nadia: Hey. Is there anything I can do?", "Sydney: We're doing everything to find a doctor who might be able to help.", "Nadia: I'm so sorry, Syd.", "Sydney: Thank you. I'm gonna sit with him for a while.", "Nadia: You want company? I'll cancel dinner with Sophia.", "Sydney: You should keep it. There's nothing you can do here anyway.", "Nadia: Okay. But if you need anything. . . Sydney's apartment. Sophia is laying out dishes. Nadia and Weiss walk in.", "Nadia: Hi.", "Sophia: Hi. (smiles and hugs Nadia)", "Nadia: Something smells good.", "Sophia: (goes over to Weiss) You must be Eric.", "Weiss: Yes.", "Sophia: I'm Sophia.", "Weiss: Oh, hi. Eric Weiss. (Sophia gives him a hug) Oh, wow. How are you? (to Nadia) I love her already.", "Sophia: I'm so sorry Sydney couldn't make it. How sick is her father?", "Nadia: It's hard to say. They're running some tests now. (she puts down her bags)", "Weiss: Yeah.", "Sophia: That's awful. It's very hard. When it's a parent, it's always so difficult. Give me those. (she picks up Nadia's bags) I want you two to relax. You had a rough day. I'll take care of everything. Uh, Eric?", "Weiss: Yeah.", "Sophia: You have no idea how excited I am to meet you. Nadia says the most beautiful things about you. (she leaves)", "Weiss: (to Nadia) Really?", "Nadia: She asked me if you were tall, dark, and handsome. I told her you were tall.

Dad can you hear me?", "Jack: Hello.", "Sydney: Hi.", "Jack: What are you doing-why am-", "Sydney: I need to ask you something, dad.", "Jack: Oh, no, it was my turn to pick up Sydney after dance class. I'm sorry. Can- can you take care of that? I'll cover next time Laura, I promise.", "Sydney: Laura?", "Jack: I don't- I don't know why I'm so tired sweetheart. I'm so tired. Sydney's apartment. Nadia, Weiss, and Sophia around the table, eating.", "Weiss: (holds up a piece of food) What are these, the emperanas, these are incr- they're so good. (Nadia giggles)", "Sophia: Empanadas.", "Weiss: Whatever, they're delicious.", "Sophia: I taught Nadia how to make them when she was very little.", "Weiss: Well, I've been seriously deprived.", "Nadia: Please.", "Weiss: Well have you ever made these for me?", "Nadia: (her cell phone, which is in her room, rings) Excuse me.", "Sophia: Can't you let it go?", "Nadia: I really have to get this, I'm sorry. (she leaves the table)", "Sophia: Nadia. Do you want some more wine?", "Nadia: Sure.", "Sophia: Red? White? (she discreetly pulls a gun out of her bag)", "Nadia: Red. (Nadia goes into her room)", "Weiss: I know there's- you know, there's seafood in here, but what- what is this? Is this artichoke hearts? What is this?", "Sophia: (watching Nadia's door) Many things.", "Weiss: And the rice. What is the spice in the rice? I can't- is it, um. . .", "Sophia: Saffron.", "Weiss: Ah, saffron. I was going for cumin. Saffron- your secret ingredient, of course. Nadia comes back out. Sophia/Elena discreetly replaces her gun back in her bag.", "Nadia: It was Vaughn.", "Weiss: How's Jack? Sloane's office. Sydney and Sloane.", "Sloane: He's to far gone, Sydney. In his present mental state, he will never tell us where he hid Liddel. Not to mention thet it's possible your father doesn't even remember.", "Sydney: My father doesn't forget things. We can hypnotize him.", "Slaone: Yeah, I considered that myself, but given his situation, his condition, these hallucinations. . .", "Sydney: He called me Laura. He thought I was my mother.", "Sloane: He called you Laura? Not Irina? You said he called you Laura. Suppose we convince your father that he's still living in 1981, specifically the day that he extracted Liddel out of Russia.", "Sydney: My dad's hallucinating. That's distinctly different from what you're suggesting.", "Sloane: (waves his hands) No, no, I'm not sure it is. Calling you Laura, imagining Dr. Liddel. What if we could recreate his surroundings? Perhaps we could guide his delusions, get him to reveal exactly where he relocated Liddel.", "Sydney: (eyes widen) You want me to be my mother.", "Sloane: That's right. Sydney is sitting at a table. She's dressed like Irina. Vaughn comes up.", "Vaughn: Found a girl. (places a picture of a young girl in front of her) Six years old. She's got your eyes. Her mom wants to know if she can use this for her acting reel. You okay? I get it. (rubs her shoulders) Not okay.", "Sydney: I don't know how I'm gonna do this?", "Vaughn: Well, you know, it's not too late. We can always have Weiss dress up as Irina. I'm sure he'd make a great housewife.", "Sydney: (she laughs) I don't remember my parents back when they were together.", "Vaughn: Well, you were a little girl.", "Sydney: I remember the time. I don't remember them. My dad. . .was my dad. He was never around when I was a kid. He was always away on business. My mom. . .I don't know what my dad was like around my mother, or what she was like around him. I don't know how to do this.", "Vaughn: Syd, it's just a job. It's another alias like all the others. Just trust your training. Follow your dad's cues. Follow his leads. Besides, I've got snipers everywhere if he starts to get inappropriate.

She looks around.", "Sloane: (comes in from the opposite direction) Oh my God. It's unsettling, isn't it?", "Sydney: This is my old house. (other guys comes in and place some things)", "Sloane: It should be sufficient as long as Jack, doesn't examine the details too closely. (turns) That bowl is in the wrong place. (he picks it up) Hmm, it's murano glass. Emily and I gave this to your parents- or at least the original version- as a housewarming gift.", "Sydney: It belongs on the coffee table.", "Sloane: That's right. We'll give you a few minutes after Jack wakes up to sell the illusion. When the phone rings, give him his privacy. (moves a few things around) Medical will move in as soon as we get Liddel's location. We'll get this- (Men roll Jack in on stretcher)- we'll get this over with as quickly as possible Sydney. (men lay Jack on a sofa, Sydney and Sloane watch him) You ready? (she nods) Your mother used to call your father sweetheart. It was a pet name for him. Good luck.

I told him we'd love to.", "Jack: You could have just said we're busy. I know how you put up with Arvin for my sake.", "Sydney: Sweetheart, he's your best friend. I'm your wife. I can tolerate him.", "Jack: (smiles) How can you do that?", "Sydney: (continues putting away groceries) Do what?", "Jack: How can you be so perfect? Loving mother, beautiful wife, just- just by standing there.", "Sloane: Vaughn. Vaughn picks up a phone.

What travel arrangements do you need set up? (pause) Where do you want Liddel moved?", "Marshall: His mind's rejecting this, possibly because Vaughn's voice doesn't sound like his handler's.", "Nadia: We should send in the girl.", "Sloane: Do it, Marshall.", "Marshall: Sending in. . .the girl. Little girl, supposed to be Sydney, walks in.", "Girl: Hi, dad. Is it okay if I practice the piano?", "Jack: (smiles) Of course. Little girl smiles and goes over to the piano. She starts playing.", "Jack: (to phone) You still there?", "Vaughn: Yes, of course.", "Jack: I have company.", "Vaughn: I understand.", "Jack: About the doctor, I'm feeling a bit under the weather, but I'm much better now.", "Marshall: It's code, do you recognize it?", "Slaone: No, it must be something Jack had with his handler.", "Vaughn: Go ahead.", "Jack: Despite that, I think it'd be wise to have a checkup. It's been over a year since my last stress test. Can you schedule that for me?", "Vaughn: You got it.", "Jack: Thank you. (he hangs up)", "Sloane: Sydney, Marshall should be able to decode the message. Keep trying to get Liddel's location. Jack goes back to the kitchen.", "Jack: Sorry, honey, I have bad news.", "Sydney: Oh?", "Jack: That was Grady. Who else would it be this early on a sunday. He has a mission for me. I'm afraid I have to leave town.", "Nadia: He told her. She knew he was a spy.", "Sloane: It would seem so.", "Sydney: What's the mission?", "Jack: There's a doctor, who's research has put his life in danger. I need to make him disappear. New name, new identity, new life-low risk, I promise.", "Sydney: Where will you take him?", "Jack: Finland.

Good work.", "Jack: What concerns me- I won't be back until next week. I'll miss Sydney's birthday again.", "Sydney: That's okay. You'll explain it to her. She'll understand.", "Jack: She's a child. She shouldn't need to understand her father isn't home to celebrate her birthday. Laura, the only memories I have of my father are of him leaving. I don't want it to be that way for her. She deserves better.", "Sydney: (you can tell she's about to cry) The work you do is important.", "Jack: Not as important as her. Or you. (pause) When I get back from Europe, I'm going to talk to my supervisors.", "Sydney: What about?", "Jack: I'm giving notice. Sorry. I should have discussed this with you before I made any decisions.", "Sydney: No. That means more to me than you'll ever know. (she's about to cry as Jack kisses her hand)", "Sloane: We'll send in the med techs to sedate your father. Jack goes over to the piano and sits next to the little girl.", "Jack: That's good. Can I join you?", "Girl: Uh-huh. (she nods and he plays the piano with her) Sydney comes in and watches them. Twinkle twinkle little star. Guy comes in and tranqs Jack. Helsinki, Finland. We see an old man sitting in a bench. Sydney walks up to him.", "Sydney: Dr. Liddel. He gets up and walks away, without even looking at her.", "Sydney: Jack Bristow. He needs your help.

I was about to run some more carbide tests on the hydrosec- case carbide tests, and I went to get it out of cold storage, and it wasn't there, but of course you knew that.", "Nadia: How would we know that?", "Marshall: Well, it was moved at your request by your unit to a low-security facility offsite. I'm just wondering why, cause that's some dangerous stuff. Suspicious looking man walks down a corridor. There are 2 men tied up behind him. He attaches a device to a wall. Elena is walking down a street and comes upon a guard.", "Elena: Excuse me, sir. I'm terribly sorry but I'm lost. Could you please tell me where Division street is please?", "Guard 1: Sure. Actually Division Street is the one-way street, (points) heading north. In another section, Guard 2 goes up to Guard 3.", "Guard 2: What's going on?", "Guard 3: (watching Elena on camera, then turns back to 2) Just some lady asking directions.", "APO", "Weiss: No one in our unit authorized anything.", "Marshall: Well, the request was authenticated.

Weiss tries calling the security office, no answer because G 2 and 3 are tranqed. Elena walks down the hall with suspicious looking man. Guard comes around the corner and she tranqs him.", "Weiss: Nothing. I'm getting nothing, no answer.", "Nadia: Let's go. Elena takes a card from the unconscious guard and uses it to open a door. She enters followed by suspicious looking man. They come to a safe.", "Man: It's double-folded titanium.", "Elena: Take a look at this. We can cut through that.

If there's anything you need-", "Liddel: I'd like to see my patient.", "Sydney: Right this way. (they walk on) The infirmary. Jack is asleep in his bed. Sydney picks up Jack's hand.", "Sydney: Dad.

[ "\"Arvin Clone\" raids a monastery for a Rambaldi orchid from which an anti-aggression drug can be made, one which his power source, the Mueller Device, can reverse. In CIA custody he displays Sloane's memories. He is the product of an SD-6 Psych-ops specialist's experiment. Sloane contaminated world water supplies when he was with OmniFam, and with the orchid, the \"clone's\" employer can render hundreds of millions passive, finishing what Sloane failed to do. The team decides to break the imposter by imprinting him with Sloan's most painful memory-the very thing that sparked his Rambaldi obsession. Sloane re-visits in his memory his dead wife, Emily, and the time when his baby, Jacquelyn, died. Arvin Sloane must decide whether to return to Nadia and repair the damage he has done to the world or live in a dream." ]

Think you could call this. . .actor, this- this clown, Arvin Sloane and make me doubt my own identity?", "Jack: Tell me, how do you account for the fact, that in the recent past, this man created and ran an international relief agency called OMNIFAM? The world knows his face as Arvin Sloane.", "AC: He's a CIA stooge with my good looks, and I can prove it. The affair in Santiago, I noticed that both Marcus Dixon and Sydney Bristow were in on that mission. It beggars reason to believe these same two agents would ever agree to work for the man who killed their loved ones. That's the most logical scenario. That I'm the imposter. . .or that you are?", "Marshall: (on the computer, moves to the other computer) This is weird.", "AC: And unless you have anything better to offer, either start cutting off my fingers or kindly call my lawyer.", "Nadia: (walks in) Marshall would like to see you.", "AC: Tell him I said hello. (he doesn't appear to recognize Nadia)", "Jack: (to Sloane) Try not to kill him. (he follows Nadia out the door and speaks to Marshall) What have we got?", "Marshall: Oh, hey, uh, I think you should see for yourself. (he turns the monitor so Jack can see)", "Jack: What am I looking at?", "Marshall: Well, these are the imposter's EEG readings, his brain activity. Basically every individual has a unique brain pattern, a signature, and- take a look at this other one.", "Sydney: They're identical.", "Marshall: Exactly.", "Jack: Whose EEG is this?", "Marshall: Well, that's the weird part. I pulled these from the CIA database. This is Arvin Sloane. The real Sloane. Our Sloane.", "Jack: You're telling me, these two men share identical brains?", "Marshall: For all intents and purposes, well, yes. I mean, this man is Arvin Sloane. At least his brain is.", "Nadia: How is that possible?", "Marshall: Back at SD-6, I worked on a project that focused on brain imprinting. Engram encoding.", "Jack: That program was run out of psy-ops, by McCullough.", "Nadia: Who's McCullough? Breifing room. Gang, including Sloane, sits arounds table. McCullough's picture and info pop up on a screen.", "Jack: Calvin McCullough, senior partner at SD-6. He headed the psychological warfare and operations division. Among the numerous programs he oversaw, was something called Project Brainstorm. It's purpose- to explore experimental technologies to aid in interrogation, brainwashing, the creation of sleeper agents, as well as the transfer of memories. From one subject to another.", "Sydney: This is what we think happened to this man? He was made to believe he's Sloane?", "Jack: Not just believe, but to act. Among other things, he shares the same desires, which explains his pursuit of Rambaldi artifacts.", "Marshall: Well, if you think about it, this guy's been able to stay two steps ahead of us the entire time. He thinks like you, he knows your strategies, your playbooks, your secrets.", "Sydney: When we were in Santiago going after Sloane Clone the first time, you knew the access code to his facility- \"Jacquelyn\".", "Sloane: I had no reference to that. It just came to me.", "Marshall: Probably because it's buried deep inside your subconscious, which also means it's buried inside his.", "Nadia: But you said they were only experimental technologies at the time. So someone must have continued McCullough's research after SD-6 was taken down.", "Jack: McCullough was tipped off to the raid. He evaded capture.", "Nadia: Who tipped him?", "Sloane: I did. I owed him a favor, one he clearly didn't return to me.", "Sydney: If McCullough is holding the strings, then we may have a lead on the orchid.", "Sloane: I have a good idea where he might be.", "Jack: I'll put Dixon and Vaughn on McCullough. In the meantime, we continue the interrogation here. Buenos Aires. McCullough is sitting at an outside table reading the newspaper. Vaughn and Dixon approach him.", "Dixon: I see you are enjoying your retirement.", "Vaughn: Don't mind if we join you, do you? (they sit, McCullough looks shocked)", "McCullough: It's been a long time, Mr. Dixon. To what do I owe the pleasure of your company?", "Dixon: Arvin Sloane sent us. The real Arvin Sloane. Tell us where the orchid is and we might be able to cut you a deal.", "McCullough: I don't know where it is. (McCullough rips up a piece of paper and empties the powder into his coffee cup. HOW DO DIXON AND VAUGHN NOT SEE THIS? It's right in front of their faces.)", "Vaughn: Listen to me if you don't want to spend the rest of your like in a federal prison, I suggest you start cooperating with us now.", "McCullough: And I am telling you I don't have the answers you're looking for.", "Dixon: We know you used Project Brainstorm technology to make that man believe he's Arvin Sloane.", "McCullough: And I'm not denying that.", "Dixon: You had him acquire the orchid for you. Where is it?", "McCullough: (takes a sip of coffee) Yes. I made him believe he's Sloane. But I did to good a job. He double-crossed me and kept the orchid for himself. Just like Arvin would have done.", "Vaughn: You're lying.", "McCullough: I'm beyond lying. All that really matters now is that my employer would never let me live long enough to be interrogated, and that right now I have 300 milligrams of cyanide coursing through my veins.", "Dixon: The coffee.", "Vaughn: Get an ambulance! (shouts something in Spanish)", "Dixon: (Dixon holds him up) Who are you working for?", "McCullough: Tell Arvin, I- (he dies)", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Arvin Clone interrogation room. AC is sitting. Sydney walks in.", "AC: I'm so happy to see you Sydney.", "Sydney: I have only one question to ask you. Where's the orchid?", "AC: Four years is a long time not to see someone you love. It appears you've done well.", "Sydney: Look, if you want to tell me where to find the orchid, I'll be happy to continue this farce, otherwise. . .", "AC: Are you sure that's what you want, Sydney? Think about it. There are so many things you could ask of me. Why not choose one that matters.", "Sydney: Such as?", "AC: The reengineering of the evolution of a species.", "Sydney: You found an application for one of Rambaldi's formulas.", "AC: Mm-hmm. Finally. I'm the first to admit that some of Rambaldi's quests occasionally degenerated into sheer folly, but not this one.", "Sydney: Go on.", "AC: The work we did- the work you do now- taking down bad guys, putting out fires- you're a beat cop. Not making a dent. You've got to go to the source. Human nature itself. Where we are headed. What will become of human beings. You want to change the world? You want to really deal with the vanquishing of evil and the ascendancy of good? Well, I'm your guy.", "Sydney: You're telling me you're one of the good guys?", "AC: Come work with me.", "Sydney: This work- would it involve genetics and bioengineering?", "AC: In part. A Vulgarian would use the word \"mutate\", but it has such negative connotations.", "Sydney: Mutate into what?", "AC: Ostensibly into a more evolved, less aggressive being- you know, cooperative, calmer.", "Sydney: Easier to control, like the bees at the monastery. You turned them into killers.", "AC: The bees were a test. I wanted to see if what goes down, could come up so to speak. Oh, come on Sydney, how many wars were there last century? And how many people died in those wars through genocide or political repression? We're disgusting, humans. Do we learn from grace or beauty or what we call God?", "Sydney: What were you gonna do about it?", "AC: Suppose one could administer a formula to the general population that would quietly alter our brain chemistry, exponentially expanding our capacity for qualities like empathy and harmonic coexistence.", "Sydney: This formula- how would you administer it?", "AC: Nothing could be more simple. (he places his glass of water in front of her) Do you have any idea how many additives are in our drinking water? Hallway outside APO. Sydney, Marshall, Nadia, Jack, Sloane, stand talking.", "Sloane: If I could undo what I did, I would. The truth is, through OMNIFAM, I introduced a combination of substances into water supplies throughout the world. It was my intent, based on Rambaldi's formulas, to create a more peaceful species. To breed the aggression out of the population. Just as the monks had done with their bees.", "Nadia: We don't have time for your rationalizations.", "Sloane: No-", "Marshall: Excuse me. I'm assuming that you failed, right?", "Sloane: Yes, I failed. Because I didn't have the orchid, I attempted to artificially manufacture its nectar.", "Sydney: Because your imposter already has the orchid, he doesn't need to acquire any of the other substances you mentioned. All he has to do is put the nectar into the water you contaminated.", "Nadia: You loaded the gun.", "Sloane: That's right.", "Sydney: How many people are we talking about? How many people drank the contaminated water?", "Sloane: Somewhere between 3 and 4 hundred million.", "Sydney: What?", "Jack: Assuming the imposter's organization is already harvesting the chemical from inside that orchid, I suggest we not waste time on accusations right now.", "Sydney: What are the options?", "Jack: Dixon and Vaughn are uplinking all of McCullough's files. There might be a lead in there. Divide it up. See what you can find. Nadia leaves. Followed by Marshall.", "Sydney: (to Jack) I'd like to talk to you. Jack's office.", "Sydney: I saw it on your face. You knew. You knew what he did and you ignored it. I want to know why.", "Jack: Sydney-", "Sydney: He's sick, dad, can't you see that?", "Jack: He was at the height of his obsession with Rambaldi, but he abandoned his scheme.", "Sydney: You still trust him.", "Jack: I trust that when he laid the seeds for this crisis, he thought he was doing something good, that he didn't see this as a trigger for global genocide.", "Sydney: So he's simply a delusional megalomaniac with benign intentions?", "Jack: What Sloane did cannot be undone. To alert the public would be worse than useless. It would create worldwide panic. We need that flower.", "Sydney: Which we could have recovered long ago which we could have recovered long ago and turned over to the DSR for safe-keeping, but we didn't because you sat on what you knew, which you just as guilty as he is.", "Jack: Yes, Marshall?", "Marshall: (he's standing in the doorway) I think I found something. Sloane's office. Nadia, Jack, Sydney, Marshall, Sloane.", "Marshall: Okay, from what I was able to get from McCullough's files, SD-6 performed detailed brain scans on Sloane. McCullough then recreated Sloane's brain digitally and then uploaded it to this guy. I mean, those files- they're ingrained deeply. Which leaves us very few options.", "Sloane: He'll never give us the location of the orchid as long as he still believes that he's me.", "Marshall: That's right, We'll have to shock it out of him- you know, split it off from his dual persona and then get his real personality to tell us where the orchid is.", "Nadia: Are we talking shock therapy?", "Marshall: No, not in the traditional sense. According to the research, reliving a painful memory or a tragic experience will literally shake his moorings, but has to be something really bad. It can't be , you know, like- \"I'm sorry-\".", "Sydney: Hypnotic regression. Take him back to a point in his past and- your past- and make him recall the memory.", "Marshall: Arvin Clone? He'll probably resist that. You would have to relive a painful memory. And then record it, using McCullough's technology, and then upload it to Sloane 2. You know, it's kinda like throwing a switch. One second he's Arvin Clone, and then shazam, he's himself again.", "Jack: What are the risks?", "Marshall: To the subject? I'm not sure. It'll either break him down or not.", "Sloane: What about to him? (looks at Sloane)", "Marshall: The thing is, I'm gonna need a little bit more time to run some tests before I synthesize, so-", "Sloane: No. We do it now.", "Jack: Fine. Where do we begin?", "Sloane: Jacquelyn.", "Jack: Who's Jacqueline?", "Sloane: Thirty years ago, I-", "Marshall: No! Don't. Sorry, sir, it's just- it's better if you experience it in the moment. Don't verbalize. Another room. Sloane is strapped to a chair. Marshall standing beside him.", "Marshall: Okay, now, this should help you feel nice and relaxed. Once you're semiconscious, the electrodes will administer small pulses to put you into a hypnotic state.", "Sloane: I'm going to need some help accessing Jacquelyn.", "Marshall: Right. Mr. Bristow will speak to you through your ear bugs. He'll administer certain verbal cues which should bring your mind into the right place.", "Sloane: I see. (obviously, not looking forward to this)", "Marshall: Okay. Good luck. Nadia stands in the doorway staring at Sloane as Marshall leaves the room. She waits and then follows Marshall. Outside the room Sloane is in. Marshall, Sydney, Jack, Nadia.", "Marshall: Okay, we are ready to record his experience. You're on.", "Jack: Arvin, I'm going to count back from ten to one. When I get to one, you'll be in a place where you can tell me about Jacquelyn. 10. . .9. . .8. . .(Sloane jolts)", "Sydney: What was that?", "Marshall: He's fighting it. He doesn't want to go back to Jacquelyn. Keep going.", "Jack: 7. . .6. . .5. . .4. . .3. . .2. . . 1.", "VISION", "Sloane is outside in a garden, walking. Emily is sitting on a bench. He sits next to her.", "Sloane: I thought we could take the boat before it gets too cold. Perhaps have lunch in Bellagio, hmm? What do you think?", "Emily: I like just being here. You can see the wind in the trees. Maybe you should go.", "Sloane: No, no. No, we can sit here for as long as you like. For as long as you need. And I promise you we will get past Jacquelyn.", "Emily: I don't want to hear that name. You can't say it, Arvin. Hurts too much. Will you promise me that? You won't speak her name again?", "REALTIME", "Sloane: Never say. . .her name.", "VISION", "Sloane: Let me in, Emily. Please.", "Emily: I'm alone in this, Arvin. Right now, I am alone.", "Sloane: No.", "REALTIME", "Sloaen: Jacquelyn.", "Sydney: Jacquelyn. Could she have been a mistress?", "Sloane: Please.", "Marshall: Wait a minute. Look at this.", "Nadia: Is he okay?", "Marshall: I don't know.", "Jack: Arvin, we're not quite there yet.", "VISION", "Sloane is walking and Jack shows up.", "Jack: You need to go back. Who is Jacquelyn, Arvin? Go back to when you met her. Sloane turns around and goes back. Emily is gardening.", "Sloane: You're supposed to be doing exactly nothing. And that means not gardening. Emily turns around and we can see her pregnant belly.", "Emily: It's the nesting instinct. I can't help it.", "REALTIME", "Sloane: Emily. Please. . .", "VISION", "Sloane is walking Emily to a bench.", "Emily: Please, no more funny names of Italian villages. (laughing, they sit at a bench) We can't have a daughter named Carlotta, Tabanabia, or Fabina.", "Sloane: (hands Emily a glass of tea?) Fabina. That name is perfect. (they kiss) How about Jacquelyn? Hmm?", "Emily: Jacquelyn. (she smiles) Yeah.", "REALTIME", "Sloane: Do you like it? (he smiles, and laughs) Baby Jacquelyn. Jacquelyn. I like that.", "Nadia gets up and watches Sloane.", "Sydney: Baby Jacquelyn. Dad, did you have any idea?", "Marshall: Sloane's numbers are wild. His beta brainwaves are cycling at 14 per second, and he's releasing massive amounts of glycine onto the motoneurons.", "Nadia: We have to bring him out.", "Jack: Do we have enough? Enough to confront the imposter?", "Marshall: No, not yet.", "Jack: Arivin. . .keep going. What happened to Jacquelyn?", "VISION", "Hospital room. Emily lies on a bed.", "Emily: How is she? Sloane takes her hand and shakes his head.", "Emily: (starts crying) No. No, no. . . please, Arvin. It's a mistake. Please, no.", "REALTIME", "Sloane starts crying.", "VISION", "Sloane: Listen to me. This was a risky pregnancy. And she fought. She tried so hard to stay with us. It was too much. Her heart couldn't-", "Emily: (continues crying) No, no. . .My baby!", "Sloane: Emily. . .I love you. I love you so. (he leans down and kisses her cheek) I love you. I love you Emily.", "REALTIME", "Sloane: (crying) My baby.", "VISION", "Emily and Sloane continue to cry.", "REALTIME", "Sloane: (continues to cry) Oh, oh my baby. . .I'm sorry. I'm so sorry. No.", "Marshall: Guys, that's it. We have enough to break down the imposter.", "Jack. Come with me, Marshall. Bring Slone out. Arvin Clone strapped to his own chair much like the real Sloane. Sydney looks on.", "AC: Jack, please. Are we really wasting our time with this? After all, it was you who taught me to endure torture. It was your training that enabled me to get through McKenas Cole and the needles of fire.", "Jack: Listen to me, you pathetic freak. (takes away AC's glasses) Even if what you're saying was true, you can be sure that I kept a few things to myself. Jack goes to a computer and does stuff. AC starts shaking. Images from Sloane's flashbacks flash across the screen.", "Jack: Tell us your name.", "AC: My name- Ned Bolger. Corporal. US army. Serial number 112762.", "Sydney: Where's the orchid?", "AC: Who are you?", "Sydney: Corporal, where's the flower?", "AC: At a warehouse. Ugano, Switzerland. 43 Paseo Mantello. Sydney and Jack run up to him.", "AC: Damn you, Jack! I always knew you were a traitor, and you'd turn me in. Sydney, please, don't let him do this. (Jack and Sydney watched with shocked faces, speechless) I'm Ned Bolger. (twitch) I'm from Torch Lake, Michigan. You can't torture POWs. Geneva Convention. Who a- who am- who am I? Who are you? Who- who are you? Nadia walks in.", "Nadia: There's a problem.", "Marshall: It's Sloane. He's not coming back. I'm trying to bring him out of it, but he's fighting it. I mean he's supposed to be waking up. Nadia looks devastated.", "VISION", "Sloane is standing looking out at the sunset. Emily walks up beside him, holding Jacqueline.", "Emily: Honey. Is everything okay?", "Sloane: (he puts him arm around Emily's shoulders) Yeah. Everything is wonderful.", "REALTIME", "Marshall: Take a look right here. (looks at computer) You see that spike right there? That's his serotonin release. You know, like a pleasure center. It mirrors the exact reaction he had at the time of Emily's pregnancy. He's there right now. He's stuck there. He's kinda in that state.", "Nadia: Can we just wake him up?", "Jack: You saw what happened to Bolger. The shock could kill him.", "Marshall: Right. Think of it in computer terms. You can't just force-quit. You have to reboot his brain.", "Sydney: How?", "Marshall: Beats me.", "Nadia: What is one of us tried to guide him back? The way that Jack was able to prompt some of my father's memories by talking to him.", "Marshall: Well, it could work. But it could also kill him. You know, serotonin overload. I mean he could die of happiness- literally.", "Jack: You have a better idea?", "Marshall: No.", "Jack: Let's get started.", "Marshall: (to Nadia) Okay, he can hear you now.", "Nadia: Hi, dad.", "Sydney: Keep going.", "Nadia: Dad, it's me. Nadia, your daughter.", "VISION", "Sloane and Emily are playing with Jacqueline. They are sitting on the bench.", "Emily: You know that nice lady in the little store in town, Angelina?", "Sloane: Uh-huh.", "Emily: She told me she didn't approve of the way I was dressing Jacqueline.", "Nadia: (appears as of out of thin air) Dad?", "Emily: Who's that?", "Sloane: She's a very lovely girl. She's my. . .she's my Nadia.", "Nadia: You can't stay here, dad. I'm sorry.", "Sloane: I'm happy here.", "Nadia: You may be but your work isn't done.", "Sloane: What a beautiful girl you are. How proud you make me. But I can't come with you. The terrible things I've done.", "Nadia: That's why you have to.", "Sloane: Why don't you stay here with us?", "REALTIME", "Sloane: Stay here with us. Nadia. . .Stay with us darling.", "VISION", "Nadia and Sloane are standing.", "Sloane: We're family.", "Nadia: Emily and Jacqueline are gone, and you have to let them go.", "Sloane: I will never let them go again. No.", "Nadia: They're already gone. Sloane turns around and sees the bench where Emily was sitting, empty.", "Sloane: What did you do? I was a good man once. Now I'm a monster. And monsters cannot be allowed in this world.", "Nadia: Yes, you were once a good man. I believe it. And you can be again. But you have to undo what you've set in motion. You have not earned the right to rest.", "Sloane: I'm tired, Nadia. I am tired, and I am ashamed.", "Nadia: Then there's hope. Come back and redeem yourself. Sloane turns around and a door opens. Emily is standing in the door way holding Jacqueline.", "Sloane: It's so beautiful here.", "Nadia: But it's not real. Be brave. Come back with me. Show me who you are deep down. I believe in you. (Sloane shakes his head) Please, do not betray that belief. Do not betray again.", "Sloane: (smiles) Goodbye.", "Nadia: No, don't go. Dad-", "REALTIME", "Sloane: Uhh. . .Dad.", "Nadia goes in the room. She runs to Sloane and gives him a hug. Sydney walks in and stands in the doorway. Sloane is standing with Jack outside Bolger's room.", "Sloane: The first time I heard the name Rambaldi, I was working with the Army Corps of Engineers. It meant nothing to me- his life, his works. It was a simple curiosity. Something I quickly set aside. And then we lost Jacquelyn. . .When Emily lost the baby. . .I felt utterly abandoned. One night I came across some of his writings that I had stored in a drawer. And somehow. . .it filled the hole in my heart. Oddly, it wasn't until I saw him that I realized how much of myself I had lost. I am going to rectify this, Jack. I will clean up this mess that I have made.", "Jack: I'd like to believe that, Arvin.", "Sloane: But you can't.", "Jack: I've heard it before.", "Sloane: Yeah. Well, Jack, all I can say is I'm trying. And every day it's a struggle. Every day." ]

[ "The episode begins with a flashback in which Jack executes Irina 18 months prior. It was, however, not Irina who was killed and instead a double from the Project Helix. It is learned that Irina's death was an elaborate setup by Elena Derevko in which Jack was meant to execute the double to make everyone believe she was dead. The information on the double is confirmed through an encrypted file called the Blackwell File (retrieved in an earlier episode). With the knowledge that Irina was still alive, Jack, Sydney, and Nadia stage a search and rescue in Guatemala where Irina was being held. While all this is going on, a device known as the Mueller Device (Marshall calls it the Big Red Ball) is put into place over Sovogda, Russia, the entire population of which is rioting much like the frenzied bees from In Dreams.... The Rambaldi prophecy appears to be coming true and only Irina has the knowledge to foil Elena and Sloane's plot. The team makes a HALO jump into Sovogda in an attempt to shut down the Mueller Device. The Russian authorities have ordered an airstrike, but since rupturing the sphere would release a vast amount of toxins, time is running out." ]

[ "British Embassy, Vienna 18 months earlier Jacki stands on a balcony as he watches various people enter. He watches Irina enter. Later, Jack is in the pool room sitting at a table drinking. Irina comes in.", "Irina: I was pleased to get your note. This party looks insufferable.", "Jack: I would prefer not to spend the little time we have together with idle banter.", "Irina: (laughs) Well, then. . .What do you suggest?", "Jack: A dance. (they star dancing) You broke my heart, Irina.", "Irina: That was another lifetime. I won't do it again.", "Jack: Good to know. (they kiss, alot)", "Irina: This has been lovely but I should go back.", "Jack: (he stops her) Tell me, Irina. How did it feel giving the order? Was it difficult, or. . . Were you able to remain cold, indifferent? Were you amused?", "Irina: Jack, this is cryptic, even for you.", "Jack: Then let me be clear. How did it feel to pay a man to kill your own daughter?", "Irina: You weren't supposed to find out.", "Jack: You didn't feel a thing, did you? How is that possible? Were Sydney and I nothing to you, merely strategic alliances to be disposed of once we outlived our usefulness. After all we've been through, Irina. I deserve an explanation. Why? I need a reason.", "Irina: Because it had to be done. (Jack puts a gun to her forehead) Jack.", "Jack: Damn you. (he fires) Irina falls into the pool, smiling. Jack is standing in the hallway outside APO. Sydney walks by.", "Jack: How's Dixon?", "Sydney: Stable.", "Jack: Has his story changed?", "Sydney: No, he still swears he saw her, but the amount of blood he lost, he must be delusional.", "Jack: I would have thought you placed more trust in your partner.", "Sydney: It's impossible.", "Jack: We've seen the impossible before.", "Sydney: This is a distraction.", "Jack: You don't know that.", "Sydney: Dad, you killed her.", "Jack: I killed a woman I believed to be your mother. Sound familiar? You know the doubling technology exists. The Helix protocol.", "Sydney: Dad, we're being set up. Elena and Sloane are gone and the only person capable of stopping them is dangled right in front of us. Doesn't that seem a little convenient? Think about it. This wouldn't be the first time. Elena manipulated Vaughn into searching for his father. Look how that turned out. No, they want us to pursue this.", "Jack: I understand your skepticism, although your unwillingness to even entertain the idea, suggests fear.", "Sydney: Fear? Of what?", "Jack: perhaps a false hope.", "Sydney: Maybe it's easier for you to believes mom's alive than to live with what you did.", "Jack: Maybe so. But the fact remains, as long as Sloane and Elena are out there, we're pursuing every lead. We have work to do. (he leaves) Sydney enters APO. She's walking.", "Nadia: How's Dixon?", "Sydney: He's lost a lot of blood. . .", "Vaughn: (walks by on a phone) No, sir, we still don't know what their endgame is.", "Marshall: Vaughn, come here, check this out.", "Vaughn: (goes to Marshall, still on phone) Uh, hold on, we may have just gotten something. (to Marshall) DCI. Tell me you just got something.", "Marshall: (on computer) Well, you know the tapes from the break-in? I found some data blocks that are still intact. Is that enough for a positive I. D.", "Vaughn: Yeah, that's enough for an I. D.", "Marshall: Up top.", "Vaughn: (continues on phone and goes somewhere else) We're identifying one of Elena Derevko's associates. I'll keep you updated.(he hangs up, Weiss starts talking)", "Weiss: Hey. I just talked to Langley. They are all over this.", "Vaughn: Yeah, you have no idea. Sydney is on the phone speaking in a foreign language.", "Sydney: (to phone) Mr. Nemec assured me it was possible. (the computer shows Irina's picture) Yes. Every flight manifest to and from Prague. Back to Weiss and Vaughn.", "Weiss: I know we're in crisis mode, but did you ask her? Vaughn looks over at Sydney, who's on the phone.", "Sydney: (to phone) No, I don't think sleep is a luxury only American can afford.", "Vaughn: It's not exactly the right time.", "Weiss: When's the right time, what, the night time?", "Vaughn: Eric, come on.", "Weiss: Look, it's not like you have a ring burning a whole in your- (Vaughn gives him a look) You have the ring on you right now? Vaughn leaves.", "Sydney: (on the phone, still) I'm sorry, would you mind holding? (she sits down, looking out of breath)", "Marshall: (bursts into Jack's office) We got it. He's former covenant. Lucien Nisard. And he didn't just head-up the DSR break-in. Once we had a name, I ran a series of traces on a cell network in Prague. Turns out Nisard made phone calls from the same location at the same time Dixon says he saw Irina. Of course, tracking him, that's gonna take some time.", "Jack: I need you to log in through Sloane's computer. Check the Blackwell Index. (he starts to leave)", "Marshall: Wait a minute, the Blackwell Index? Sloane doesn't have that. He gave that over to Langley. (Jack looks at him and leaves) Didn't he? (Marshall follows) Vaughn goes over to Nadia. She's sitting and writing.", "Vaughn: How are you holding up?", "Nadia: I'm trying to stay focused.", "Vaughn: By reopening the Bishop files?", "Nadia: He supposedly killed my mother. If she's alive then the CIA obviously missed something.", "Vaughn: Nadia, researching Martin Bishop, it's- it's not the most productive use of your time.", "Nadia: What do you mean?", "Vaughn: You should talk to Jack. Jack and Marshall in Sloane's office. The Blackwell computer is opening on the computer.", "Marshall: Okay. Um, I hope you don't mind me asking, Mr. Bristow, but when you helped Sloane steal this thing, you didn't realize he was going to switch sides, did you? I mean you didn't see it coming?", "Jack: No.", "Marshall: Okay. I was just curious because I didn't think that- wow, look at the people on this thing.", "Jack: Lucien Nisard. I want all aliases, addresses, contacts, vices, and weaknesses.", "Marshall: No problem. Just give me a sec.", "Nadia: (comes in) I need to speak with you.", "Jack: (to Marshall) Give us a minute, would you?", "Marshall: Sure. Hey. (leaves)", "Jack: What is it?", "Nadia: My mother's killer- Martin Bishop- what is it you haven't told me? I'm tired of lies, Jack. After what my father and Elena have done, I want the truth.", "Jack: Martin Bishop didn't kill Irina. I did. I learned Irina had put a contract out on Sydney's life. I believed she was going to have her killed. I had no other viable option.", "Nadia: I killed Martin Bishop because you told me it was him.", "Jack: Yes. I learned later that I had been set up by Elena.

They watch the screens.", "Sydney: What's going on?", "Marshall: There's been some sort of an accident.", "Nadia: We don't know the details, Russia isn't saying.", "Marshall: But look at the satellite footage. The city- Sevogda- They're coordinating some sort of military perimeter around it.", "Vaughn: Is it a quarantine?", "Weiss: No idea.", "Jack: (enters) I just spoke to Director Chase. Intelligence on this incident is nonexistent. Not even our agents within the Kremlin have any inkling as to what's happening. Computer starts beeping.", "Nadia: What is it?", "Marshall: It's from a hacker friend of mine in Moscow. It's raw footage. You guys should see this. The footage shows up on the screens. Fighting, cars on fire, rioting, general chaos. And above it all floats a big red ball.", "Sydney: It's them. APO Briefing room. Gang around table, excluding Dixon and Sloane.", "Jack: The Russian government's officially claiming an industrial accident.", "Sydney: And they expect that story to last?", "Vaughn: Well, conspiracy theories have already been posted on the web.", "Weiss: Terrorist attack, military experiment gone wrong-", "Marshall: Don't forget aliens. I mean, there's lots and lots of speculation about extraterrestrials.", "Sydney: Given what we know, have you been able to put anything together?", "Marshall: You mean Sloane and Elena's endgame? It's unclear. But what is obvious is they've activated some sort of ginormous Meuller device. From the footage, I'd say it's at least six blocks in diameter. Now, the Russian government, they're keeping a tight lid on what's actually happened, but from what's leaking out, I'd say the citizens of Sevogda, they're going postal. I mean, you know, mass violence, aggression, inability to reason.", "Jack: They must have infected the water supply with the chemical properties of the orchid, priming the population of the city. Making them susceptible to the effects of the Mueller device.", "Marshall: So, what you're saying is, a large red ball plus contaminated water equals a city full of homicidal maniacs. That was a sentence I never thought I'd say.", "Vaughn: But what's the point? I mean, the weirdest terrorist attack of all time?", "Jack: Their purpose remains a mystery. Perhaps Sevogda serves some strategic importance.", "Weiss: I'd go with world domination, but that's always my go-to.", "Nadia: Why isn't important. Stopping them is.", "Vaughn: (to Sydney) You've destroyed a Meuller device before. (Sydney gives him a look)", "Marshall: Uh, guys, sorry to interrupt here, but, you know, this thing is beyond toxic. I mean, and one this size? Unless it was shut down properly, it would be like draining primary coolant from a nuclear plant times ten million.", "Sydney: I don't know how to disarm the device safely, anyway.", "Jack: But I know someone who might. Based on the eye-witness account from Agent Dixon, Irina Derevko is currently being held prisoner by her sister.", "Vaughn: Any ideas on how to find her?", "Jack: Lucien Nisard- former covenant member and an associate of Elena's.

(wipes her eyes) Eventually I was moved to a medical facility and injected with something. The pain was excruciating. I'd go into cardiac arrest.

The matter is being handled.", "Sydney: Really? How? By whom?", "Chase: The Russians are preparing a tactical air strike of Sevogda. It will be over in a few hours.", "Sydney: An air strike, Director Chase, will release toxins into the atmosphere. The results would be catastrophic. This is what Elena wanted.

You gave Sloane full access to the resources of the CIA. And now he is going to do more harm than you can even imagine.

I would have found another way.", "Jack: I can't imagine this would give you any comfort, considering what you've been through, but. . .the truth is, there wasn't a day that went by that I didn't regret what I did.", "Irina: About my indiscretion with Sloane- I can hope you'll accept my apology.", "Jack: Of all the things you've done, that's what you're going to apologize for?

But now we're here, and I don't know what we're jumping into. And I may never get another chance to do this again. Sometimes I wake up before you do, and I watch you sleep. And I'm overwhelmed because. . .you're so amazing. And I don't know why I'm lucky enough to have you in my life, but you're here with me.

[ "The team parachutes into Sovogda, where they find that most of the citizens are dead. The Mueller device is floating over the tallest building, where Elena and Sloane are currently carrying out Part One of Rambaldi's endgame. The Russian Air Force will soon launch an air strike, which is when Elena will activate the signal and transmit the Rambaldi signal worldwide with deadly ramifications as global water supplies are already primed. A strike would also release deadly radiation into the atmosphere and make Chernobyl look pale in comparison - in Jack Bristow's words, \"like a kitchen fire.\" Sloane \"betrays\" Elena and leads the team to her. She is then captured and Irina makes her tell her which wire to cut on the device to deactivate it. Elena says to cut the white wire, but Irina tells Sydney to cut the blue wire. Irina then shoots Elena, killing her. Nadia becomes infected when Elena injects her with the infected tap water, who tries to kill Sydney to prevent her from stopping the device. Sloane shoots Nadia to save Sydney's life in fulfillment of the prophecy. The Mueller device then dissolves into water and destroys the building, but the team makes it out. Jack then lets Irina go free. The end of the episode shows Sydney and Vaughn in a car going off on vacation to Santa Barbara, where they decide they would elope. After being prompted by Irina of not having a marriage full of lies like her marriage with Jack, Vaughn tells Sydney that he doesn't want to keep any secrets from her. As they're driving he tells her his real name isn't Michael Vaughn and that his assignment of being Sydney's handler was no accident; however, before an explanation can be given, their car is hit in the driver's side door by another vehicle." ]

[ "Sydney and Vaughn survive the car crash that concluded the fourth season; however, Vaughn is taken away in a helicopter by an unknown group posing as an emergency medical team while Sydney runs away. Upon returning to Los Angeles, Sydney learns that Vaughn is under suspicion of being a double agent, and the car crash was a possible \"extraction\". In Mexico City, Vaughn is interrogated by a mysterious man who refers to Vaughn as \"Mr. Michaux\". The man wants Vaughn to decipher a piece of paper that is encoded, and threatens to hurt Sydney if Vaughn doesn't tell him what is on the piece of paper. However, Vaughn breaks free of his captors, calls Sydney, and requests that she bring his father's watch to him. After arriving, Vaughn tells her that his real name is André Michaux. Vaughn then takes Sydney with him to meet a man who is in Prophet Five, a project that Vaughn's father was also in. While in Cape Town, South Africa to retrieve the book, Sydney receives a phone call from her doctor saying she is pregnant. Later, while meeting with the man in Italy, Vaughn hands over the book, but he, along with the man, are shot multiple times. Vaughn is rushed to a hospital where Sydney and he pick a name for their baby: Isabelle. Vaughn then dies after his heart fails. Meanwhile, Arvin Sloane is in jail, pleading with Jack to get him out so he can help Nadia Santos, who is still in a coma. Four months later, Sydney goes to London and finds Renée Rienne, or \"The Raven\", a known criminal and assassin with whom Vaughn had been working to uncover the secrets of Prophet Five." ]

Tracking the hacker to Prague, Sydney is forced to partner in the field with APO's new agent, Thomas Grace. With Marshall, the three find and capture Rachel Gibson, a supposed black ops agent of the CIA working in Prague under the supervision of Gordon Dean. Similar to Sydney's life at SD-6, Gibson was lied to and was working for the very enemy she thought she was fighting. Allying herself with Sydney, Rachel returns to The Shed, the criminal organization, so she can open up a port and allow Marshall to hack in and download their files.

What is so important, Dad, that he can't come with me on this mission?", "JACK: Your sister.", "SYDNEY: What about my sister?", "JACK: You know that Sloane has been searching for a cure for Nadia. He may have found one.

I'm sending Dixon as a security detail.", "SYDNEY: When was I going to find out about this?", "JACK: (hesitates) I didn't want to raise your hopes until we knew what Sloane had.", "SYDNEY: Well, in that case, I prefer to go with Marshall by myself.", "JACK: Sydney -", "SYDNEY: It's not that complicated a mission.", "JACK: In fact, it's very complicated - recovering the nerve agent without tipping Dean... Sydney still looks stubborn.", "JACK: (pauses) What aren't you telling me?", "SYDNEY: I read his file.", "JACK: Agent Grace's? A hint of defiance flashes in Sydney's eyebrows.", "JACK: You had no authority to do that.", "SYDNEY: In the last three years, he has turned down half a dozen team assignment - instead, taking long-cover operations by himself. He's a loner.", "JACK: He's a superior agent, and he's agreed to be on this team - which is good enough for me.", "MARSHALL: Um, sorry, didn't mean to... it's just that you said to let you know when -", "GRACE: We're ready to go.", "MARSHALL: Yeah.

I had been working with him for the past decade.", "DIXON: Trustworthy?", "SLOANE: Reliable.", "DIXON: Why is he insisting on meeting with you in person?", "SLOANE: For his protection. After the Sovogda incident, we believed that the Russians killed all the infected. But according to Dolzhenko, they've kept some of them alive, and they're pursuing treatment. Of course, the Russians deny that Sovogda ever occurred. So by passing the cure to me, Dolzhenko is risking his life.", "DIXON: Suppose Dozhenko has been found out by the authorities. This could be his way of cutting a deal.", "SLOANE: And you're suggesting that I might be walking into a trap? Hmm? No. No. About the Sovogda incident, the Russians have no idea that I'm responsible.", "DIXON: Then why has he agreed to meet with you at all?", "SLOANE: $300,000.", "DIXON: My job is to make sure in three day's time, you return to this cell.

I mean, the signal I'm getting is weak, but clean. The hacker's right inside that building.", "SYDNEY: Wi-Fi hotspot?", "MARHSALL: Yeah. (continues working on computer) Must be using a laptop off-site. Know what? That's okay. I got an idea. Marshall opens up a case and fiddles with something.", "MARSHALL: Okay. Got it. Here's what we do. Pack of mints, right? (shakes tin case around) Microprocessor on the bottom of the case. It's a relay. Get it within 5 feet of the hacker's computer. It should allow me to clone the hard drive - might even tell us where the nerve agent is. Even better - offer him a mint. Inside each one is a tracking device. Don't worry. He won't die or something if he swallows it - just feel a little sick, a little nausea. If Gordon Dean has an operation here, chances are the hacker will lead us right to it.", "GRACE: Got it. Both Sydney and Grace reach for the mints, but realize they need to settle who is going to go in.", "SYDNEY: (speaking Czech)", "GRACE: What's that?", "SYDNEY: (smugly) That was Czech.", "GRACE: I'll fake it. It's all sort of Germanish, right? Grace concedes the pack of mints.", "GRACE: Go for it. Sydney takes the mints. Marshall seems to be glad that the issue was settled.

(laughs)", "MARSHALL: Syd, we have a problem. Someone beside me is piggy-backing off this computer. They're trying to steal the bandwidth - which means the hacker doesn't have a laptop at all, maybe a PDA or cell phone? A young, blonde woman walks past Sydney and turns off her phone.", "MARSHALL: Great, the signal just went dead.", "SYDNEY: I got her. Blonde hair, brown jacket. She just left.

In order to catch up to Rachel, Grace takes a hard right, squealing the tires. Rachel notices the Range Rover is following her and takes a quick left into an alley.", "GRACE: She made us. Hold on. Grace takes a parallel alley. Rachel takes the Mini around a few more corners, but Grace manages to confront her in the oncoming direction.

She says the phone broke when we hit her car.", "SYDNEY: Well, more likely, it was a countermeasure. She smashed it when she realized you were chasing her. And if her people realize she's gone - if there's some protocol to check in that she misses, they'll disappear as well.", "GRACE: Maybe under the circumstance, you'd have done something different. Sydney glares at Grace.", "MARSHALL: O-kay. Um, uh, you talked to your father, right, Syd? I mean, what's he want us to do?", "SYDNEY: I'm going to talk to her again, see if I can get her to give up Substance 33 while there's still time.

She believes what she's saying. Sydney nods and looks over at Grace.", "GRACE: What?", "SYDNEY: Marshall, you and my father said the same thing - that Rachel believes what she's saying. She believes she works for the CIA.", "MARSHALL: Yeah, I think so. That's right.", "SYDNEY: (sighs) I need to talk to her. Sydney goes into the other room to speak with Rachel.", "SYDNEY: I want to tell you a story. Just... stop me if I get something wrong. You were approached in college, someplace public, in the quad or walking to class. A man asked you if you wanted to serve your country. When he told you it was for the CIA, you just - you couldn't believe it. But you took the tests, and they were easy for you. It made you feel good about yourself. You probably started work at a false front, some phantom company that had you doing entry-level analysis. Maybe you wondered why you were never sent to Langley. Maybe you wondered why you weren't being trained with other recruits. Then you got promoted. You met the director of your division, Gordon Dean. He offered you a position on his team. Dean took you under his wing. He convinced you that - you were so important, you just had to be out there, helping him save the world. How am I doing?", "RACHEL: You read my file.", "SYDNEY: No, I didn't. Thirteen years, ago, the same thing happened to me. Only I had been lied to. What I was told was the CIA was, in reality, a criminal organization. I think you've been told the same lie. I know that you don't believe me, Rachel. You think this is another interrogation tactic. It's not. I think I can prove it.", "RACHEL: You can prove it - that I work for a criminal organization...", "SYDNEY: Your transmitter - where does the signal get received?", "RACHEL: CIA Headquarters. Langley.", "SYDNEY: You're sure of that...?", "RACHEL: I designed it myself.", "SYDNEY: I'd like you to build a trace program, one that piggybacks onto the signal your watch sends out. If I'm right, it won't go to Langley. Rachel works on the computer and finishes the program.", "RACHEL: Okay. It's ready.", "SYDNEY: Let's do it.", "MARSHALL: Okay. I'm going to send out a test signal. Whoever receives this will just assume you're checking the system, okay? Here we go, and... Marshall opens up the watch and presses a button. The watch glows a red color.", "MARSHALL: ... Testing. The computer tracking the signal showings the signal originating from Prague traveling over to Langley.", "MARSHALL: Yep. Went to Langley. (sighs) Sydney looks at Rachel, who looks relieved. Suddenly, the computer beeps. The distress signal is being re-routed elsewhere.", "MARSHALL: Wait a minute. No, it isn't. That ping was just a ghost signal. It was meant to throw us off. It's not going to Langely at all. Where'd it go? (follows tracing program) Prague. Vlasska Street.", "SYDNEY: (to Rachel) What's on Vlasska Street?", "RACHEL: (pauses) Our office. It's temporary so that Dean can oversee the transfer of Substance 33.", "SYDNEY: Wait.

She was told Substance 33 was developed by a terrorist cell and was being transferred to U.N. weapons inspectors.", "JACK: Most likely, it's being sold to the highest bidder. Does she know when the exchange is to be made?", "GRACE: Tonight, but she says she doesn't know where. She said it's all classified, and all classified intel is stored on Dean's own dedicated server.", "JACK: What else? How much does she know about his operation?", "GRACE: Dean calls it \"The Shed.\" She was recruited two years ago. Computer specialist. She's willing to give us everything - mission history, suppliers, contacts... the works.", "JACK: Without more background, it's too risky to move on Dean. He could destroy his data before we have time to secure it. Marshall, can we access that server?", "MARSHALL: Well, according to Rachel, Dean uses an encryption key that changes daily. But if I could get inside, I could crack the key and maybe download the entire hard drive.", "JACK: Obviously, that's too dangerous. What about the girl?", "GRACE: (shakes head) She's not a field agent. And her whole world is coming apart right now.", "JACK: I don't see another option. We have to recover Substance 33 before it trades hands. Sydney goes out to the balcony to speak with Rachel.", "RACHEL: What is it?", "SYDNEY: We need some help.

Shouldn't take me more than a couple of minutes to crack the code. Then - go back inside, all right? You think maybe you can open a remote access port to Dean's server?", "RACHEL: Yeah, from my workstation. Dean's server has about a terabyte of data. I mean, that's going to take you, what, an hour at 20 gigs a minute?", "MARSHALL: Don't worry. I can hop RAM while the data's being transferred. I mean, unless they know where to look, it can't be detected.", "RACHEL: The encryption key is pretty massive. I mean, I don't think I have anything big enough to copy it to.", "MARSHALL: That's okay. Got a little present for you. Okay? Just a little something I picked up - looks like a normal credit card, right? But you look closely - actually holds 240 Gigs of memory. Yeah. And it's a working credit card. Just go shopping with it because it's already at its limit. My wife - crazy with the clothes, Mitchell...", "RACHEL: It's clever.", "MARSHALL: Yeah. I wanna tell you that I've been admiring you, too. Not, you know, in anything kind of creepy, weird, just - totally professionally. I mean, your hack on the NSA? Genius. Too bad it was being used for evil.

I'll pay them.", "DOLZHENKO: \"Whoever.\" But Arvin - it's me who wants you dead.", "SLOANE: Sasha, why are you doing this? I've never done anything to you.", "DOLZHENKO: Oh, yes. Yes, you have. I had a daughter in Sovogda myself. Because what you released, I didn't even have a chance to bury my own child. I lied to you. Besides your daughter, there are no other survivors. No experiments, no cure. Sloane is devastated.", "DOLZHENKO: Yeah! It's worse than dying, isn't it? Knowing there's nothing you can do to save your own child. Turn around.", "SLOANE: No.", "DOLZHENKO: (shaking) Turn around!", "SLOANE: No. If you're going to shoot me, I'm not going to make it easy for you. I know your pain, Sasha. Killing me won't heal it.

I'm good, though. I'm gonna get to work.", "PEYTON: Okay. Oh - don't let Dean see you, or he'll make you translate surveillance footage.", "RACHEL: Yeah, you're right.

He contacted the Hungarian authorities. Once again, these bad guys picked the wrong dude to mess with. (checks the download progress on his computer) Huh. What's that?", "GRACE: What?", "MARSHALL: There's some RF interference. Should be able to compensate for it. Just then, there's a whirring noise in the office and all the computers turn off.

Can anybody hear me? When there is no answer, Rachel decides to leave. 19 seconds are left on the countdown. She tries the elevator, but it's not working. Grace reaches the building, pulls the fire alarm on the first floor, and runs to the stairwell. 11 seconds. Hearing the alarms, Rachel goes toward the stairwell. 7 seconds.

[ "In Monte Carlo Sydney, Tom, and Dixon infiltrate a Casino to secure \"the artifact\", an electronic dossier. After doing so, Sydney is intercepted while in a car by being picked up by a crane outfitted with an electromagnet. Gordon Dean subsequently calls her on her cell phone demanding the return of \"Mockingbird\" otherwise Sydney will be dropped hundreds of feet to her death. 72 hours before, Rachel tells Sydney that her call sign while working at \"The Shed\" was Mockingbird. With Rachel's help APO cracks Gordon Dean's Cayman Islands accounts. Momentarily after Dean is notified that his assets were stolen and concludes that Rachel is alive and working for the CIA. During the mission to secure the artifact, Rachel is brought along in the trunk of the car; the same car that, in the end, Dean is threatening to destroy unless Rachel (Mockingbird) is handed over to him. Sydney and Rachel are able to escape the car and cling to the electromagnet prior to Dean figuring out Rachel was also in the car and then, destroying it. Sloane is held on trial for breaking the agreement in his pardon by aiding Elena Derevko, although he was supposedly undercover. Ultimately Sloane is pardoned after accepting the aid of a mysterious stranger with a powerful and influential employer." ]

[ "Having been exonerated once again for previous crimes against the United States, Sloane asks Jack to aid him in returning to APO. Jack had already put forth a request for his return, but for limited access. APO would use Sloane's extensive knowledge and contacts in return for any aid they can give in finding a cure for Sloane's daughter, Nadia. Sloane, however, is held up from returning by a Senator, which he later threatens at the behest of his new handler: Gordon Dean. After recognizing Renée Rienne on a surveillance camera during the theft of the \"man in the box\", Sydney and Thomas are sent to investigate. Rienne resuscitates the man in the box, who appears to be her father. After Sydney and Tom meet her and the man, their location comes under fire from a group of mercenaries. Meanwhile electroencephalogram records studied by APO prove that the man is not actually Renée's father, despite a perfect resemblance to him. After Sydney, Thomas, and Renée realize that the man is not Renée's father, the mercenaries succeed in extracting him. He is then brought to meet with Gordon Dean in North Korea, where he is identified as Dr. Desantis." ]

Tom carefully goes down the stairs with his gun drawn. The two guards come back to the top of the stairs. A uniformed guard comes up the stairs and joins the other two guards. It's Tom, who has stolen the uniform from the guard he knocked out. He follows the guards for a bit, but soon slips away to take care of the truck outside. Tom walks out of the building, still dressed in the guard's uniform. He walks around to the left side of the truck. After looking around first, he pulls a timed explosive out and places it on the left front tire of the car. The timer is set for 20 seconds. Tom begins to walk away, but stops when a guard calls out to him. The guard comes up behind him and grabs Tom's arm, while talking to him in French.", "GUARD: Qui êtes-vous? J'ai demandé de qui êtes vous. [Who are you? I asked - who are you?*] Tom grabs the guard's arm, causing the guard to fire the gun prematurely. Tom equips his knife, but the guard pushes him against the front of the truck, knocking his helmet off. Tom punches the guard and stabs him. The guard falls to the ground. There are only six seconds left on the bomb. Tom takes off running, as two other guards start shooting at him.", "GUARDS: Vite, vite!

Sydney watches the blast through a window.", "RENÉE: What can you see?", "SYDNEY: (turns away from the window) Nothing... I don't know if he made it. They hear the sound of glass shattering.

With my knowledge and my resources, I can be a valuable asset to this country.", "SENATOR LEWIS: Touching. But somehow I doubt that you're motivated by mere patriotism.", "SLOANE: You're right.

Puzzled, the senator takes the envelope. She is shocked by the photographs she finds.", "SLOANE: You'll recognize the inside of your own house. You'll notice none of those pictures were taken with a telephoto lens. The photographer was standing right next to her. It makes you wonder about her security detail, doesn't it?

Jack looks concerned.", "SYDNEY: Dad? Gordon Dean didn't bribe someone on the inside to get Sloane out of jail. His organization is already on the inside.", "JACK: Marshall, can you trace those nodes?", "MARSHALL: Yeah, let me see what I can do. Arvin Sloane arrives at APO and checks his watch. The agent from Rome and another agent receive a signal from Sloane and are monitoring him.", "AGENT ONE: Right on time. Network diagnostic is up and running. Sloane walks past a security camera.", "AGENT ONE: You got two minutes to grab that coffee. Oh, and get me a cup, too? Little cream. The second agent leaves the room. Sloane takes out a handkerchief from his pocket and opens the door to APO's Conversation Room.", "DEAN: Arvin.", "SLOANE: For the next minute and a half, no one knows I'm here.", "DEAN: Good. Get me out of these.", "SLOANE: That isn't exactly what I had in mind. Back in Marshall's office, the team continues to try to trace the nodes.", "MARSHALL: Okay, I've narrowed the network down to twelve isolated nodes. I think I can trace their point of origin.", "RACHEL: Twelve...?", "MARSHALL: Yeah.", "RACHEL: If there was never a one, there was never The Twelve. In the Caymans, that was one of Dean's account protocols. Marshall's computer begins beeping.", "MARSHALL: Oh.", "SYDNEY: What just happened?", "MARSHALL: We're locked out.

This is what he meant. He has the access code.", "JACK: Go. Sydney leaves Marshall's office. In the other room, Dean pleads with Sloane.", "DEAN: Don't do this, Arvin. I have the access code! You can take down Prophet Five! Sloane grabs Dean behind his neck, forcing his head backwards, and puts a pill in Dean's mouth.", "SLOANE: God forgive me. Sloane holds Dean's jaw shut until Dean swallows the pill.", "DEAN: Help! Somebody, please!", "SLOANE: These walls are soundproof. There's no point in shouting. Sloane pops a blade out of a knife and waits. Sydney walks down the hall toward the room. She opens the door and finds Dean dead. He sits slumped over, still strapped to his chair. There is a bit of blood on his lip. Sydney looks defeated. Later, Sydney meets with Jack in his office. Jack pours a glass of water.", "JACK: According to medical services, Dean took his own life. Apparently with a cyanide pill he had subdermally implanted inside his cheek. Jack sits down with Sydney and hands her the glass of water.", "SYDNEY: I don't understand. This morning he wanted immunity. He wanted to live.", "JACK: Clearly, Dean thrived on power. Once the drug wore off, he must've realized he was facing a life sentence. Death was easier to accept.", "SYDNEY: Marshall counted twelve sources that make up Prophet Five. Twelve, Dad. It's like The Alliance all over again.", "JACK: I know.", "SYDNEY: If they are embedded inside global government, where do we even start?", "JACK: We've already started.", "SYDNEY: I guess I'll see you tomorrow.

Peyton smiles.", "EHRMANN: As we agreed, Dean's operation is now yours. But with one warning - I appreciate ambition, but if you're considering any further betrayals, they will come at your own expense.", "PEYTON: I understand. The two clink glasses. Outside, a car pulls up in front of theirs.", "EHRMANN: I'll be right back. Ehrmann meets with Sloane in front of the car.", "EHRMANN: A job well done, Mr. Sloane. I'm so glad you took our offer.", "SLOANE: I didn't have much of a choice, did I?", "EHRMANN: There's always a choice.", "SLOANE: My daughter...when will she be cured?", "EHRMANN: Soon.", "SLOANE: Soon? Perhaps you could be a bit more specific.", "EHRMANN: I wish I could - but there are a few more things we need you to do first.", "SLOANE: We have a deal.", "EHRMANN: No. We have an arrangement, which you don't seem to understand very well.", "SLOANE: You son of a b****.", "EHRMANN: We'll be in touch.

[ "A rogue element in MI-6 is testing an MPB (Micro Pulse Bomb) which incinerates people but leaves equipment intact. Through old contacts Jack learns the identity of the designer. Rachel goes to a conference in São Paulo, Brazil (should be Rio de Janeiro, because the conference is at a Beach Hotel, and there's no beach in São Paulo) to bug the designer's laptop. Under the cover name \"Bob Brown\", Julian Sark is there to do the same thing. Both do so successfully, and after a few drinks go back to his room for sex. In Brazil, Jack witnesses an arms transaction of a much larger MPB; one that ends in an ambush. The team realizes that Sark was the leak. Rachel and Sydney hire him. Jack and his companion are taken prisoner and moved to Tunisia. Sark arranges to buy the prisoners but gets double-crossed and is handcuffed to the bomb. Rachel manages to disarm it at last.

I'll come by and pick you up.", "SYDNEY: That'd be great. Dad... if anything had happened, and I couldn't have been there...", "JACK: Sydney, you did exactly what I would have wanted. You and the baby are all that matters.", "SYDNEY: I love you, Dad. Sleep well.", "Sydney hangs up the phone just as Dixon walks into her office. She gets up and gives Dixon a hug. Meanwhile, Jack plays the piano alone in his house. Despite what he told Elizabeth, clearly, he still plays." ]

[ "After fleeing from interrogation and learning she was on a freighter at sea, Sydney goes to the communications room and sends a message to APO routed through the CIA to her whereabouts. Unbeknownst to her at the time, the message was intercepted by a mole at the CIA working for Prophet Five, although APO was able to obtain a piece of the transmission. Wanting to retrieve Sydney, APO attempts to break into a secured server room located at Langley with the goal of obtaining the remaining part of the transmission. Problems arise, however, when APO is forced to take the hard drive, which triggers an alarm. They manage to escape the situation thanks to Weiss who aids them in sneaking past the guards. Although the transmission on the hard drive is corrupted, APO is able to learn who corrupted it. Jack sets a meeting up with the division heads of the CIA and is quickly able to identify that the mole was Davenport, who confesses to Jack Sydney's whereabouts. APO then mounts a rescue to retrieve Sydney from the freighter; however, while they are in transit, Sydney is forced to go into surgery. When APO arrives, Sydney is alone on the freighter. After analyzing Sydney, doctors conclude that Prophet Five was not trying to hurt the baby, but actually save it." ]

Marshall, how much longer for that door?", "MARSHALL: Just give me ten seconds.", "WEISS: All right. When I say 'go', I need you to go as fast as you can to those doors in the far end. Don't stop. We'll have those doors open by the time you get there.", "MARSHALL: Okay. Got it!", "WEISS: GO!", "Rachel runs, and the guards give chase as they hear her running.

He's with us.", "WEISS: Yeah. Eric Weiss. [shakes hands with Rachel]", "RACHEL: Rachel Gibson. Thank you for the help back there.", "WEISS: My pleasure.", "TOM: Any luck with Sydney's message?", "RACHEL: They wiped the back-ups. [holds up hard disk] We may be able to run data recovery from this, but if they went to all the trouble of deleting the message, I don't think they'd be careless enough to leave any traces behind. Marshall and Dixon nod solemnly.", "WEISS: Better get a move on. If you take this tunnel to the end, it'll drop you to the south-east edge of the complex. I better get back inside and wipe out the surveillance footage. Oh, and if you hear anything about Sydney...", "DIXON: We will.", "WEISS: Okay. And one more thing. Next time? Just call.

Men's voices are audible as they approach.", "SYDNEY: Get in there. Go! They head into a nearby room. Sydney closes the door behind them.", "SYDNEY: Make a sound and you're dead. It sounds like the men are now right outside their room. Sydney gasps at her abdominal pain and holds onto a table for support, struggling to keep her gun pointed at Peyton.", "PEYTON: Something's wrong, isn't it?", "SYDNEY: Move.", "PEYTON: Whatever you say, but you don't look so good. They move towards and adjacent door. Another wave of pain hits Sydney", "SYDNEY: Stop. Stop. Sydney breathes heavily. Again, she leans onto a table for support. She looks down at her hand and sees a folder marked \"BRISTOW, S. DOB: 4/17/74\". Sydney flicks on the lightswitch and looks around the room - it looks like an infirmary. There are sonograms on the light boxes.", "SYDNEY: C'mon. Sydney pulls Peyton in front of her with gun still pointed and walks back into the room to examine the sonograms.", "SYDNEY: What is this? Why is this here? You have until three to start giving me some answers. One... [she closes her eyes painfully. Breathes heavily] Two...

Just tell me what's wrong. Fade in on the ultrasound monitor", "ORDERLY: I need to tell them you're awake. You should be still.", "SYDNEY: [vulnerably] Wait.

We're in Marshall's office.", "TOM: You can crack into this hard drive and find Sydney's transmission?", "MARSHALL: Cracking Langley's encryption won't be a problem. I wrote a program that can handle anything under 512-bit encoding. Marshall's computer decrypts the files. Tom looks impressed as he gets an idea. Marshall finds Sydney's transmission file, but it's still coming out garbled.", "MARSHALL: Huh. Can't seem to recover Sydney's transmission. Whoever wiped it used a secure deletion program. Basically rewrites random junk over it hundreds of times, so...", "TOM: The original data's still here. So it should be retrievable, right?", "MARSHALL: Well, yeah, if I had an electron microscope and two weeks, maybe. Dixon and Rachel enter.

Check [inaudible] twenty-two", "MARSHALL: Looks like an authorization tag.", "DIXON: That's what I thought.", "MARSHALL: This tag has an AB-prefix. That means whoever authorized Sydney's transmission had Alpha-Black clearance.", "RACHEL: What's Alpha-black clearance?", "Cut to...", "JACK: Alpha-black is the highest clearance level within CIA. If Prophet-5 has ties to the CIA's operation that would give them all access to classified operations, undercover agent rosters, our entire infrastructure.", "MARSHALL: The good news to whoever deleted Sydney's message had Alpha-black clearance? That narrows down our list of suspects to just a handful of guys. Only seven people in the entire agency have it. All of them division directors. Aside from that, the only other thing these guys have in common? They were all assigned a modified version of the standard STU -- a secure cell phone.", "JACK: What are you thinking?", "MARSHALL: Well, each cell phone broadcasts a unique device ID. Now, it took some digging, but I was able to match the alpha-black authorization code from the server logs to the cell phone ID of the person in question.", "SLOANE: So does that mean we know who it belongs to?", "MARSHALL: Not exactly. For security purposes, Langley doesn't put names to numbers. But if you can get within just 50-feet of that person's cell phone? I might be able to scan it. See if it matches. We'd have our guy.", "DIXON: We could divide into teams. Put all seven of them under surveillance.", "JACK: That could take days. Whatever Prophet-5 is planning for Sydney, we can assume we don't have much time. I have an Idea.", "Cut to: WASHIN[G]TON D.C. Jack walks down a hallway.

Care to enlighten us as to why you've called an operations meeting at 8 o'clock on a Friday?", "JACK: I didn't call you all here for an operations meeting. Given that all of you have Alpha-black clearance, most of you may already be aware that APO has been investigating an operation known as Prophet-5. What may, however, come as news to you, is that we have reason to believe that someone within our own agency is in collusion with this organization. Someone with Alpha-black clearance.", "Cut to APO.", "SLOANE: What have we got so far?", "MARSHALL: Four down, three to go. Still nothing.", "Cut to Jack.", "JACK: The reason I've gathered you all here, if it isn't obvious by now... Only 7 people in the entire agency have this level of clearance. And all of them are sitting in this room.", "DAVENPORT: Oh, come on!", "DEVLIN: Jack, this is absurd! Are you suggesting that one of us is working for a terrorist organization?!", "JACK: That's exactly what I'm suggesting.", "Cut to APO.

I was told--", "MAN ON PHONE: Don't play games with me. I am aware of your fondness for power, so I imagine this arrangement is less than desirable for you.

They weren't harming the baby. They were saving its life.", "SYDNEY: Why? Why would they do that?", "JACK: I don't know. We're not sure what it means. I promise you, we'llg et to the problem of it.

Because of the possibility of moles within APO, CIA Director Devlin shuts it down. Jack remains determined to continue investigating Prophet Five and Sydney reveals to Jack \"Leo-47 Norte\" as the code that Prophet Five wanted to know of when they captured her. It turns out to be an old SD-6 mission that took place in France. Irina meets with Sydney and reveals her own knowledge of Prophet Five; the group captured Sydney thinking she knew something about \"The Horizon\". After Jack has Marshall hack into CIA archives for more information, Dixon and Renée Rienne force Jean Bertrand to reveal more about \"The Horizon\", which is stored in a safety deposit box in a Vancouver bank. Jack, Irina, and Sydney infiltrate the bank and retrieve \"The Horizon\". However, Irina has leaked the information to Peyton, who arrives in the building with her men and kills the guards. Irina attacks Jack, who has \"The Horizon\" and Sydney realizes Irina arranged her kidnapping. When Irina insists that Peyton will kill her too, Jack responds by saying he will kill Irina first. After Jack incapacitates Peyton, Sydney goes into labor.

Of course.", "DEVLIN: Thank you. I'd - uh - for starters - like to see your sit reports and - uh - operation files.", "TOM: Right. Uh - I can get you your sit reps but we're performing diagnostic on the computer network. Files will take longer. It's just routine.", "DEVLIN: Who can provide me with admin privileges to your access logs?", "TOM: That's - uh - Rachel Gibson. She's over there. [points]", "DEVLIN: Thank you. [goes to Rachel's desk]", "TOM: What just happened?", "SLOANE: He wants to review the computer transactions to see if anyone provided Prophet-5 with Davenport's travel route.", "TOM: He thinks the leak came from this office. And the phone logs will reveal who it was.", "SLOANE: Apparently so. As Tom leaves, Sloane looks more and more apprehensive. Parking lot - Exterior - It's near the ocean - A car drives up to where Jack waits. Syd and Dixon exit their car to greet Jack. Sydney and Jack hug.", "JACK: You okay?", "SYDNEY: I'm fine. Okay, what's going on? Why are we meeting out here?", "JACK: Davenport's been killed. His transport was ambushed", "DIXON: That transport route was classified. The only people knew were--", "SYDNEY: CIA. You think Prophet-5 has another mole inside the Agency?", "JACK: It seems so. Yes. There's more. As a condition of my release, Director Devlin has insisting we suspend our investigation of Prophet-5 until Langley's had a chance to review our findings.", "SYDNEY: We can't do that.", "JACK: I agree. Which means that as long as Devlin maintains a presence inside APO, we have to stop documenting our work. Operations will be compartmentalized to senior staff only. [to Sydney] When I came to see you at the hospital you wanted to tell me something - the reason Prophet-5 abducted you.", "SYDNEY: When I was on their ship, before the operation, they performed some kind of regression therapy. They wanted me to remember a cipher: \"Leo 47 Norte\". It was an entry on an Alliance organization chart Vaughn showed me years ago.", "JACK: Did you give them the intel?", "SYDNEY: Changed the phrase.", "DIXON: [remembering] \"47 Norte\"... It's a territorial designation in France. \"Leo\" designates a specific mission.", "JACK: I'll review the Alliance archives. Someone on that mission might still be alive. I want you on a plane to Paris. Assuming I'm successful, you'll be in a position to act quickly. [turns to Sydney] Make contact with Renee Rienne. Ask her to provide Dixon with whatever documentation he may need.", "SYDNEY: Okay.", "JACK: Then, I want you to go home and pack a bag. I'm moving you to a secure location.", "SYDNEY: No.", "JACK: It's just temporary.", "SYDNEY: Dad, don't be silly. I - I wanna help.", "JACK: [overlapping] Help. Yes, I know. For now, you need to go underground. Prophet-5 abducted you. I can't risk doing that again.", "Cut to - Sydney and Dixon's car", "DIXON: Don't blame your dad, Syd. He's only trying to protect you.", "SYDNEY: [whispers, looking down] Yeah.", "DIXON: What?", "SYDNEY: Do you remember what Dean said? That Prophet-5 had plans for me. Dixon nods.", "SYDNEY: They saved this baby for a reason. Why?", "DIXON: I don't know. Maybe that's why Jack wants you in a safehouse.", "SYDNEY: I can fend for myself.", "DIXON: But you're not just fending for yourself. You're fending for two. And let's be honest - right now, you waddle.", "SYDNEY: I don't waddle.", "DIXON: [laughs] Oh, yes, you do.", "SYDNEY: I'll admit. I may be a little less graceful. [shakes her head, whispering] But I don't waddle.", "DIXON: [nods, feigning agreement] You're right. Sydney scoffs.", "DIXON: Actually, it's more of a teeter. Dixon and Sydney share amused smiles. Sydney's home - interior - Sydney \"teeters\" in, closing the door behind her. Walking farther into the apartment, she pauses as she notices something that catches her by surprise. Cut to the couch, where Irina sits waiting for her daughter.", "IRINA: Hello, Sydney.", "SYDNEY: [exhales] Mom.", "CUT TO BLACK.", "Irina stands up with a proud, ear-to-ear grin. Sydney returns the grin, very happy to see her mother.", "IRINA: You look beautiful. Sydney and Irina share a tight embrace. Sydney lays her head on Irina's shoulder, emotional.", "IRINA: [tenderly] I'm here now. [strokes Sydney's back] Everything is going to be fine. Suddenly troubled, Sydney pulls back.", "SYDNEY: Mom. I'm so glad you're here. Honestly, there's no one else I want to go through this with. But... [shakes her head] it isn't safe.", "IRNA: Sydney... [shakes her head, frowning]", "SYDNEY: No. Mom, we're involved in an investigation. The CIA is everywhere. If they find--", "IRINA: I know about Prophet-5. I know they abducted you. [off Sydney's dubious look] That's the reason I've come. They've been rumoured for over thirty years - an organization so secret most of us thought they were a myth. And six months ago, a contact of mine told me that they've become active again. That after all this time they finally found someone who they believe will lead them to what they've been looking for. Sydney still looks as if she can't decide whether or not to trust her mother.", "IRINA: The reason they came together - to pursue something they call The Horizon.", "SYDNEY: [thinking] Hmm.", "IRINA: You've never heard of it?", "SYDNEY: [shaking her head] No.", "IRINA: Prophet-5 believes you have. They believe you know where it is. [walks up to Sydney and puts a hand on her arm with a small smile] What are you thinking?", "SYDNEY: When Prophet-5 abducted me, they tried to get me to reveal information about an old Alliance mission.", "IRINA: What was the mission?", "SYDNEY: Well, I don't know the details. Just the code name - but dad is looking into it.", "IRINA: You told your father? [tucks hair behind her ear] Sydney nods. A big smile comes onto Irina's face.", "IRINA: That's good. How's Jack?", "SYDNEY: He's good. [she looks down, with a sentimental expression] Prophet-5 killed Vaughn.", "IRINA: [whispers] I know. I'm so sorry. The mother daughter exchange sad looks. APO - Marshall's office", "JACK: It was an Alliance mission. Designation: Leo 47 Norte.", "MARSHALL: ...47 Norte. I got it. [types at his computer] All Alliance archives are backed up Langley's archives.", "JACK: Can you do it without being traced back to this office? Marshall pauses to look at Jack.", "MARSHALL: So Devlin can't find out about it. [looks out at Devlin's team] Sure - I can use a proxy to spoof the origin. [Jack nods and Marshall continues to work] I love secret conspiracies. You know, as long as I'm a... co-conspirator. Marshall finds the mission and brings it up.", "MARSHALL: Okay. Here it is. [reads off the screen] Um, operation originating back in 1999. Co-ordinated by a Jean Bertrand. Let me see if I can find a... You know, back in high school? We took apart our calculus professor's car and re-assembled it in his classroom. Actually... my friends did it. I woulda helped, but they wouldn't trust me - said I had loose lips. Which, you know, ridiculous.", "TOM: [walking in] Hey, Marshall? Marshall fumbles as he gets up, knocking things off his desk. He faces Tom with a deer-caught-in-headlights expression on his face.", "MARSHALL: Uhh--- nothing! [points to his computer screen] We're not - doing - any...thing. Jack's phone rings and reaches into his jacket pocket to answer it.", "JACK: Yes. [moves out of earshot]", "TOM: The diagnostic on the server - Let me know when it's done?", "MARSHALL: [thumbs up at Tom] You got it.", "TOM: [nods as he turns to leave] Thanks.", "MARSHALL: [waves] Good to see you, Tom. [turns back to Jack]", "JACK: That is... unexpected. I'll be there shortly. [hangs up]", "MARSHALL: Was that Syd? [off Jack's look] Well, your voice - it modulates a little when you're talking to Sydney. Is everything okay?", "JACK: [sternly] What do you have on Bertrand?", "MARSHALL: Right. [whispers] Secret! [laughs and nods, turning back to his computer] 'Kay - latest intel places Bertrand in Paris.", "JACK: Forward the intel to Dixon. He's joining up with Renee. Use tag-3. I don't want it going through APO servers.", "MARSHALL: Got it. Sydney's home - Sydney opens the door for Jack.", "JACK: She's still here? Sydney nods as she lets Jack in, looking a little taken aback by his abruptness. Irina sits at the dining table with a drink.", "IRINA: Jack.", "JACK: [with a smile on his face] You look... well.", "IRINA: [returning his smile] I got your messages. I wanted to reply, but I sensed it might be a CIA trap. [smiles again] Look at us. About to become grandparents.", "JACK: [joking] I'm doing my best to ignore that. Sydney smiles.", "IRINA: Did Sydney tell you? [softly] I fear for her safety.", "JACK: Yes, she did.", "SYDNEY: Did Dixon find out anything?", "JACK: Not yet. But he's with a source now.", "P[A]RIS", "Parking lot - interior - Bertrand is in a hurry. When he gets to his car, he finds Renee (in fishnet stockings, a mini skirt and a blond wig) sitting on the hood of his car. This scene's dialogue is in French", "BERTRAND: Can I help you? This is my car. Renee shrugs. Dixon approaches Jean from behind.", "DIXON: Good evening, Jean.", "BERTRAND: Jean? No, I'm sorry. You have the wrong man.", "DIXON: Seven years ago, you co-ordinated a mission for the Alliance. Designation: Leo 47 Norte.", "BERTRAND: Honestly, I don't know what you're talking about. Dixon sighs and holds out his gun at Bertrand. Renee gets off his car and approaches Bertrand.", "BERTRAND: Look. I don't know who you people are. But I won't be intimidated. Now, I suggest you step away before- Renee takes his keys from his hands", "BERTRAND: --Hey.", "RENEE: [jingling keys] Perhaps a ride will refresh your memory.", "Cut to the car speeding around the parking lot. Renee is driving. Bertrand's duct-taped upside-down and spread-eagle to the hood of his car.", "BERTRAND: Stop!", "DIXON: Leo 47 Norte - what was the mission?", "BERTRAND: A package! I was told to store it.", "RENEE: What was in the package?", "BERTRAND: I don't know! I swear! Stop. STOP!", "RENEE: Last chance, Bertrand!", "BERTRNAD: Vancouver! It's in Vancouver! Bertrand's car screeches as it brakes, still heading towards a concrete pillar. Bertrand yells in fear. The car stops inches before Bertrand's face smashes into the pillar. Cut to- Sydney's home", "JACK: Thanks. No, I'll take it from here. That was Dixon. He couldn't confirm what the horizon is. But we can confirm it's in a safe deposit box in Vancouver in Queens Bank.", "SYDNEY: We'll need to act fast. Prophet-5 has probably figured out by now I gave them a the wrong information.", "IRINA: [sardonic] Yeah, that's a safe assumption.", "JACK: We can't use APO. Devlin's men are everywhere.", "IRINA: If you're being watched, I can go. I have contacts in Vancouver.", "JACK: [nodding, pensive] We'll go together. Retrieve the Horizon ourselves. Can your contact make the travel arrangements?", "SYDNEY: Make them for three. I'm going too.", "IRINA: S-", "Jack looks concerned.", "SYDNEY: I know what you're gonna say. You're worried about my safety. It's a three-hour flight. A bank. We'll be in and out.", "IRINA: [shaking her head] Sydney...", "SYDNEY: The Horizon is why Prophet-5 killed Vaughn. It's why they kidnapped me. If we can get it before they do, we can finish this thing. [resolved] For good.", "JACK: Make the arrangements. Irina seems dismayed at Jack's agreement with Sydney. Looks down in defeat - she's not going without them. Interior - unidentified dark corridor - A man pushes past the people in his way and runs up to Peyton.", "MAN: Hey. Just got a message from Irina Derevko. The Horizon is in Vancouver. She's on her way to retrieve it.", "PEYTON: Assemble a team. We're going too.", "MAN: You question Derevko's loyalty?", "PEYTON: No, I don't. But I'm not willing to take the chance that I'm wrong. Not when we're this close.", "CUT TO BLACK.", "VANCO[U]VER", "Queens Bank - Interior - Jack and Irina sit on a couch, waiting. A bank manager - Alex Moreau - walk towards them.", "MOREAU: Mr and Mrs Visconti. My apologies, but the bank is closing. Perhaps we can find another time to endow your grandchild's trust fund?", "IRINA: My daughter's never late", "JACK: It's that [i[clown[/i] she married.", "IRINA: If course, darling, it's never our angel's fault. Elevator dings.", "SYDNEY: Papa, Mama. Sorry I'm late. Sorry, sorry. Sydney gestures apologetically at Moreau as she walks past him. Jack and Sydney hug, Jack kisses Sydney's cheeks, Irina does the same.", "IRINA: Where's Roberto?", "SYDNEY: [apologetic] He's not coming. He said he doesn't want your money. It is his job to provide for our baby.", "JACK: How does he expect to provide for my grandchild as a clown?", "SYDNEY: [offended] He's not ... he's...", "IRINA: [angry] Bridget (?), we agreed that the trust fund would be a safety net, in case things don't work out.", "SYDNEY: But they will. We love each other.", "IRINA: Of course. The two of you will be as happy as your father and I have been. Irina puts her hand on Jack's stomach and kisses the corner of his mouth. Jack 'hmms', smiling.", "JACK: Let us do this for you. Let us help.", "SYDNEY: [relenting] Okay. For the baby. Jack puts a hand on Sydney's cheek and Irina laughs.", "JACK: Senor, we would be grateful if you could assist us with the deposit now.", "MOREAU: I'm sorry, but, it's too late.", "JACK: [takes a cheque out of his jacket pocket] Here is a cashier's cheque. Drawn on the trust account.", "MOREAU: That - uh - is a very generous amount. Jack smiles.", "IRINA: He said no, my darling. [Inaudible] Bank is open at six. Maybe we hurry we can-", "MOREAU: That - won't be necessary. [chuckles] It would be a privilege to help you plan for your family's future. I have a daughter myself.", "IRINA: Then you'll know that it's a parent's job to take care of their children. [rubs Sydney's belly]", "SYDNEY: [smiling affectionately] Mama...", "Cut to: APO - Devlin's men are still working there. Tom gets up from his station. Rachel spots him.", "RACHEL: Is now a good time for that raincheck?", "TOM: Yeah. Sure. What's up?", "RACHEL: I know about Allen Korman. I know you broke into Witsec to find him. [softly] That he killed your wife. Please promise me that you're not going to do anything stupid. That you're not going after him.", "TOM: I already did. [swallows] I saw him last night. I followed him to a parking garage. I watched him get out of his car. And then there he was - I was ten feet away from the man that killed my wife. Then I watched his wife get out of the car, and their little son, and I watched his life, and I just walked away. Rachel is affected by his story, eyes glistening.", "TOM: Killing him - isn't going to bring back my wife.", "RACHEL: [purses her lips] No. it won't.", "TOM: [looks down and shakes his head] I should've told you about her. I guess we just get so comfortable keeping secrets around here...", "RACHEL: Yeah. Queens Bank - Sydney is signing the trust fund papers, hands them to Moreau.", "MOREAU: [smiling] And congratulations.", "SYDNEY: Thank you. [turns around to face her parents] Papa, if Roberto finds out he'll be very angry.", "IRINA: [puts a hand on Sydney's shoulder] Then it'll be our family secret. We'll find a place to keep the trust documents safe.", "JACK: Perhaps Senor Moreau can help us. Do you have a safety deposit we can use?", "MOREAU: Of course! Sydney gasps and looks down at her stomach.", "IRINA: Everything all right, my dear?", "SYDNEY: Yes, just, your grandchild keeps kicking me. Irina laughs", "JACK: You had a very busy day. [to Moreau] Would you mind if our daughter waited here?", "MOREAU: [kindly] Not at all. If you'll follow me... It's so sweet how your daughter wants to please you.", "JACK: She's our pride and joy.", "MOREAU: I'm sure she'll be a wonderful parent to her own child.", "IRINA: Thank you.", "MOREAU: She has two such lovely role models. When Moreau is gone, Sydney gets up and sits at Moreau's computer. She dials a number on her cell phone.", "Cut to APO. Tom's phone rings.", "TOM: [to Devlin who is standing over his shoulder] 'Scuse me. Hello?", "SYDNEY: Hey, Tom, I need your help.", "TOM: Hey, Dad. What's goin' on?", "SYDNEY: Backdoor into a secure database.", "DEVLIN: Here are the files. Right here.", "TOM: Yeah, I know. Computers are tricky - you're right. I'm gonna put you on the phone with our tech support. Her name is Rachel. She'll be able to help you out. [presses a button on his phone] Hey, uh, my dad's on the phone. He kinda needs your help?", "[SCENE_BREAK]", "Cut to Queens Bank - Vault", "MOREAU: We've taken great pains to ensure the security of this facility. In fact, we pride ourselves on being too careful with our clients' assets.", "IRINA: That's good to hear. [smiles at Jack]", "Cut to Sydney", "SYDNEY: Rachel, it looks like 512-bit encryption. I can open up a port if you need to upload a program.", "RACHEL: Uh, no, that's okay. I think I got it. [scribbles on some paper]", "Cut to Vault", "IRINA: What about emergency response? When an alarmed is tripped, how long before - uh - the authorities respond?", "MOREAU: The building has round-the-clock security. Our drills place it at four minutes, but to be honest, it's never been activated.", "IRINA: Then let's keep it that way. Irina takes the hairpin holding her hair up and stabs Moreau with it. Moreau falls unconscious.", "JACK: [through comm.] Syd, we've got it. What's the box number?", "SYDNEY: Hang on, Dad. Rachel?", "RACHEL: Okay, try this. 8-4-3-8-2-2-0. Sydney enters that as Moreau's password and successfully logs in.", "SYDNEY: [amazed] Someday, you'll have to show me how you do that.", "RACHEL: A magician never reveals her secrets. Be safe.", "SYDNEY: Thanks. They hang up and Sydney finds the number of Bertrand's safe deposit box.", "SYDNEY: Okay, Dad. Box 135. Underground garage - Peyton and her men exit a car. Vault - Jack sprays a substance at the lock of box 135, making it sizzle and smoke. Moreau's office - Sydney is putting her things away. She looks up at the computer screen when something catches her attention. It's the surveillance feed - Peyton is shooting the guards at the front desk. She hurries out of the office. Vault - Jack opens the deposit box, pulling out a metal container. He opens it to reveal a satchel. He takes it out and puts a scanner over it. Scanner beeps and blinks with the message: \"CHARGE DETECTED\"", "JACK: I can't open it.", "IRINA: [walks closer] Why?", "JACK: Counter measure. Looks like it's acid-based.", "IRINA: Can you disable it? Camera pans down Irina's hand. She presses something on her 'hair clip' and a needle springs out.", "JACK: Not without destroying the contents. We'll have to take it back to Marshall he'll be abl- Irina moves to stab Jack, but Jack grabs her elbow to deflect it. Irina tries again, swinging her arm around his face. Jack dodges it.", "SYDNEY: [running in] Peyton's here. She sees that Jack now has his left hand holding back Irina's right arm. He puts Irina in a chokehold with his right hand and slams her into the deposit boxes. Jack takes out his gun and presses it against her throat.", "JACK: Talk. FAST. They're here as backup. You're working with them, aren't you? Irina looks defiant.", "JACK: ANSWER ME.", "As it sinks in, Sydney begins to look betrayed. She walks towards Irina.", "SYDNEY: [realising] That was you. Wasn't it? Behind the glass. You orchestrated the whole thing. [disgusted] Because you wanted this [re: Horizon] Irina rolls her eyes.", "SYDNEY: And when - when you couldn't torture it out of me, you came to me as my mother.", "IRINA: I am your mother. Sydney's eyes well up, looks at Irina with detestation.", "JACK: Call of your team, right now.", "IRINA: [shakes her head] They're not my team.", "JACK: [angry] I don't believe you.", "SYDNEY: Dad?", "IRINA: You need to believe me. 'Cause if Peyton's here, [softly] she's here to kill me too.", "JACK: Then she's going to be very disappointed, because I'm about to beat her to it.", "SYDNEY: [insistent] Hey, dad?", "JACK: I thought I killed you once. This time I'll be more thorough", "SYDNEY: Dad? Jack finally turns to look at Sydney.", "SYDNEY: Baby's comin'.", "CUT TO BLACK.", "LA - APO - Devlin supervises his team. Cut to a close-up of Sloane, with Rachel in the background.", "SLOANE: We have a problem. Devlin's men are accessing our server logs. They believe there's a mole within APO leaking information to Prophet-5.", "RACHEL: You think they're right?", "SLOANE: No. [shakes his head] No, I don't. However, Sydney and Jack are in the field without clearance. I've been assisting them.", "RACHEL: So have I.", "SLOANE: Yes. I know. I've already tried purging the logs myself, but the files are read-only.", "RACHEL: I can do it. I can crack the logs and delete the entries. Make them untraceable. But it'll take a little time.", "SLOANE: Well, then, get to it now. Queens Bank - Vault", "JACK: You should sit. Irina sits with her hands restrained with a cable tie. Sydney rolls a chair over to her but doesn't sit down.", "SYDNEY: Look, we need to get out of here. [to Irina] What's their approach?", "IRINA: What?", "SYDNEY: Their plan - what is it? How are they going to attack us?", "IRINA: [shrugs and shakes her head] I don't know. I already told you - this wasn't part of my operation. You wanna escape? Give her the Horizon. I'll tell her you already left the building.", "JACK: That isn't going to happen. Sydney gasps and looks down at her belly.", "IRINA: Jack, don't be stubborn. The baby is coming. I'm trying to help. Giving you a way out. Sydney holds onto the table for support. Queens Bank - interior - Two unconscious guards are propped up against the wall. Two of Peyton's henchmen set their bags down and starts to assemble guns, handing a machine gun to Peyton. She walks over to the front desk, where one of her men is in a the bank's security guard uniform.", "BARKER: Okay, I'm in. We've got control of their system.", "PEYTON: Can you see them?", "BARKER: The bank has its own dedicated security feed. If they enter any of the stairwells, I'll see them.", "PEYTON: Lock the building down. I'm going up. Queens Bank - Vault", "SYDNEY: How were you gonna do it? Once you took the Horizon, what was your extraction? All the lights in the bank go out.", "SYDNEY: Look, they're coming. How were you going to get away from us?", "IRINA: There's a helicopter that's waiting for my signal.", "SYDNEY: Does Prophet-5 know about it?", "IRINA: [shaking her head] No.", "JACK: The elevators would all be grounded. It's four flights of stairs to the roof.", "SYDNEY: I can make it.", "JACK: [to Irina] MOVE. They get up to leave. Queens Bank - front desk", "BARKER: Peyton, I've got a visual. Queens Bank - stairwell", "PEYTON: Go ahead.", "BARKER: They've just entered the main stairwell - 15th floor. But they're not going down. They're heading up.", "PEYTON: The helipad. Redirect those cameras to exterior surveillance. I'm going to keep going. I'm six floors behind.", "Cut to Irina, Jack and Sydney.", "JACK: What's the signal for the helicopter?", "IRINA: Beacon. It's in my bra. [smiles at Jack] Sydney pauses to catch her breath. Jack gets the beacon from Irina's bra, expressionless, and activates it. Irina continues to smile smugly.", "JACK: Keep moving. [turns around to Sydney] We're almost there. Sydney gathers strength and continues up the stairs.", "Cut to Peyton's team following the group. Cut to the helicopter approaching. Cut to the front desk, a surveillance feed also sees the helicopter.", "BARKER: I've got a chopper. Approaching inbound from the north-west.", "PEYTON: Damn. [looks around, exits the stairwell at 12th floor] Out here. Peyton and her men run towards the windows.", "Cut to the roof, SpyFam are at the helipad. Helicopter is about to make its descent.", "Cut to 12th floor. Peyton shoots at a window, breaking it. She looks out the window and at the helicopter.", "PETYON: Quickly.", "Cut to the roof.", "Cut to 12th floor where one of the henchmen hand Peyton a bazooka. She aims and shoots the helicopter down. The helicopter explodes. Irina, Sydney and Jack duck. Peyton discards the bazooka, she and her men head back towards the stairwell as the helicopter crashes to the ground in the background.", "CUT TO BLACK", "Queens bank - Interior - Sydney, Irina and Jack run down a hallway.", "SYDNEY: This building has to have a freight elevator.", "JACK: Sydney-", "SYDNEY: If we hotwire a juncture box, we might be able to restore emergency power to one of the cars.", "JACK: Even if we could, they'll be waiting for us as soon as we override the elevator.", "SYDNEY: We have to try.", "IRINA: We need to set up a defensive position.", "SYDNEY: I'm not interested in your opinion.", "JACK: She's right. Even if we could outflank them down the stairwell, you wouldn't make it. Here. [hands Sydney his gun] Cover your mother. [gives Sydney the bag with the Horizon inside] I'll take care of Peyton and her men. [removes his jacket] Be right back. Whatever happens, keep that pointed at your mother. If she even blinks...", "SYDNEY: I'll shoot her. APO -Sloane's office - Sloane looks out at Devlin's team working.", "RACHEL: Okay, I'm in. Logs are online.", "SLOANE: Have they found anything yet?", "RACHEL: No. They're still working on the tasking logs. I'm gonna start with the comm. Entries. Here we go - Sydney's communication from Vancouver. [deletes that entry] And Paris - this is from Dixon's PBX communication. [deletes] Okay, this seems to be it.", "SLOANE: No, there's more. I had to post satellite imagery of the building in Vancouver. You'll have to delete that as well. Timestamp should be somewhere between midnight and 2am. [looks up nervously at Devlin's men] There. Sloane points to an 'outgoing transfer entry' from 'JTINDLE'.", "RACHEL: Tindle isn't your login name.", "SLOANE: No. My network account timed out. I had to create a temporary one. Computer beeps - Rachel looks apprehensive.", "RACHEL: I can't do it.", "SLOANE: What do you mean?", "RACHEL: They're on the same page of entries. That's them now.", "Cut to the computer screen. The entry two lines above the Tindle one is highlighted red, indicating what Devlin's group is looking at.", "RACHEL: If we delete this one they'll see it. Sloane sighs and picks up his phone. Devlin's phone rings.", "DEVLIN: Devlin.", "SLOANE: It's me. It seems you don't have the latest server logs. What's the timestamp on your last entry? On Sloane's computer, the white highlighting scrolls down beyond what Sloane and Rachel are looking at.", "DEVLIN: 10:37 this morning. Rachel deletes the Tindle entry. She nods and mouths \"Got it\" to Sloane.", "SLOANE: Okay. It matches up. Sorry about the interruption. Sloane and Devlin hang up.", "SLOANE: Good work. Rachel smiles. Queens Bank - Interior - Sydney and Irina sit against a wall. Sydney sighs.", "SYDNEY: The truth takes time. That's what you said. Years ago. Is this what you meant?", "IRINA: You like it to be simple. [shakes head] It's never simple.", "SYDNEY: Did you put out the order to kill Vaughn? Irina doesn't reply, only looks at Sydney, blinking. Sydney inhales, frowning. The camera pans down to her stomach.", "IRINA: I've known about his investigation for a long time. In Savogda I tried to warn him. Sydney shakes her head.", "IRINA: He didn't take my advice.", "SYDNEY: I fell for you. Even Dad fell for you. But Vaughn never trusted you. Queens Bank - Stairwell - Gun in hand, Jack walks down. He hears Peyton's men coming and exits the stairwell.", "HENCHMAN: This is Alpha-team. We're on sixteen. We have a possible target.", "PEYTON: Copy that. Two henchmen investigate sixteenth floor - the laser sights of their guns swing around the room. Jack quietly sneaks up on one of them with an arm around is neck. Henchman 1 groans in pain and shoots at the ceiling. Henchman 2, hearing this, turns around and shoots towards Jack's direction, but hits his partner instead. Jack shoots Henchman 2.", "Cut to Stairwell.", "PEYTON: Alpha team - report. Alpha team, do you copy? Barker, where are you?", "BARKER: (through comm.) Just sweeped 17, moving onto 18.", "PEYTON: Roger. Finish up there and report in. Queens Bank - Interior - Sydney sitting on a couch, with her gun still trained on her mother. She is gasping with the pain of her contractions.", "IRINA: Exhale through your mouth.", "SYDNEY: [resentfully] No!", "IRINA: I'm only offering advice.", "SYDNEY: Don't!

Long pause.", "IRINA: You should know something, Sydney. I never wanted to have a child. The KGB demanded it. They knew it would ensure your father's allegiance to me. You were simply a means to an end. And then when the doctor put you in my arms and I looked at you? So fragile. All I could think was, \"How could I make such a terrible mistake?\" Tears well up in Irina's eyes. Sydney is visibly upset, tears streaming down her face.", "IRINA: And at that moment I was sure of one thing: I couldn't be an agent an a mother. I'd either fail at one or both.

Barker's footsteps can be heard and Irina looks nervously in that direction.", "IRINA: Gimme the gun. Syd, they're coming Sydney reluctantly gives her the gun. Irina quickly kills Barker, then gets up to unties herself using a letter opener. She crouches in front of Sydney, taking the Horizon.", "IRINA: In time you'll learn.

Peyton looks alarmed as she spots the red dot of his gun's laser sights on the fire extinguisher. It explodes in a white cloud of smoke.

[ "One month after the baby is born, Sydney is taking time off from work. Meanwhile, Kelly Peyton arranges for Anna Espinosa, Sydney's old enemy, to be released from prison and kidnap Will Tippin, who is still in the Witness Protection Program. The kidnapping is a ruse to draw Sydney away from her sabbatical. During the rescue, Anna and Sydney fight and Anna draws a small amount of blood from Sydney during the melee and escapes. APO discovers that Prophet Five implanted a miniature bomb at the base of Will's skull, which is set to explode if Sydney does not deliver Page 47, a Rambaldi artifact, to Anna aboard a train in Portugal. Accompanied by Will, Sydney attempts to defuse the bomb and stop Anna from getting away with Page 47. During the subsequent battle, Anna locks Sydney in a baggage car where is she sprayed by an unknown chemical agent. She is rescued by Will, but in order to prevent the bomb in his head from exploding, Anna has to be allowed to escape. Sloane is introduced to the leaders of Prophet Five who require him to undertake one last mission before they give him the cure for Nadia. As the episode concludes, Anna undergoes a version of the Project Helix protocol, emerging as a genetic duplicate of Sydney Bristow." ]

Am I supposed to answer this?", "Sydney: Hello?", "ANNA: Hello, Sydney. Now that I have your attention, I have some demands. (All the team is in another room to listen the conversation) Pay attention, Syd. You are going to need to do exactly as you are told. You have access to the government's Rambaldi archives at the D.S.R. I'd like you to bring me a particular page from his manuscript.", "SYDNEY: Which one?", "ANNA: Page 47. I'm sure you're familiar with it. There's a train leaving for Madrid from the Coimbra rail station at 21H00 tomorrow. Be on it. Come alone. Once I have the manuscript page in my possession, I will give you the deactivation codes for the bomb.", "SYDNEY: Anna, I swear to you...", "ANNA: Any deviation, Sydney, and I'm afraid I'll have to blow up your friend. Bye now.", "SLOANE: We have to take her threat seriously.", "JACK: Marcus, how quickly can you get page 47 from the D.S.R.?", "DIXON: I can have it within the hour.", "JACK: Do it.", "SYDNEY: Of all the Rambaldi artefacts, why would she want page 47?", "RACHEL: Who's Rambaldi? Later...", "SLOANE: Milo Rambaldi was a 15th century Visionary with an uncanny ability to predict the future. His designs have prophesied everything from binary code to nuclear weaponry to...", "RACHEL: is that Sydney? (Looking at the page 47)", "SYDNEY: Not exactly. There are people that believe that's me.", "RACHEL: \"Mulier hic picturata.\" \"The woman pictured here, the chosen one,\" \"will render the greatest power unto utter desolation.\" You're \"the chosen one\"? You people really believe this stuff?", "DIXON: We've... seen things that give Rambaldi's words weight.", "WILL: Guys, can we debate this later... after the bomb is out of my head?", "SYDNEY: What's the harm in giving Anna the page? These are prophecies about things I might do. If I don't do them, they're just words.", "SLOANE: That's right, Sydney, you have a point. Without you, that page is worthless.", "DIXON: We're not seriously considering giving into Anna's demands?", "WILL: yes, we are.", "SYDNEY: No, we're not. This page will get me close, but there's no guarantee Anna will deactivate you if we give her what she wants.", "JACK: Marshall, can you hack the detonation frequency?", "MARSHALL: Well, I mean, she mentioned deactivation codes. The bomb and the detonator are networked I mean, maybe I could build a device that would tap into the communication protocol, reverse engineer the codes, but we would need to get the bomb within range of the detonator in order for it to initialize.", "JACK: Get started on it.", "WILL: But... the only thing I understood from that was to get the bomb in range of the detonator?", "SYDNEY: You ever been to Portugal?

Let's find someplace more private.", "WILL: Okay. So far, so good. Exterior view of the train. Anna and Sydney go to an empty car.", "WILL (coms): Okay, you're at 38%. Stay close.

She leaves the car, closes the door and kisses the glass to mock Sydney. She sets off a trap. Red fluid is showering Sydney. Syd can't break the glass to get out. She struggles and then passes out.

The people I love sooner or later, something terrible happens to them. It happens over and over and over. They're kidnapped; they're tortured... or killed... because they know me. I feel like I'm this plague, and everyone I love is infected. I just... I just want you to know how sorry I am for all of it.", "WILL: Yes, I've been tortured, and I've been kidnapped several times, actually, and most likely, none of that would have happened if I hadn't helped a clumsy girl pick up her books freshman year in bio class. But it's not your fault. You can't blame yourself for the evils of the world. Look, since I've known you, I've seen a lot of horrible things. There are people out there that are capable of more cruelty and more hatred that I even thought possible. But I still sleep well at night. You know why? Because I know that you're out there fighting against them. Sydney, you save the world every day, and you never ask for anything in return. I think I speak for everybody who loves you... when I say thank you for watching over us.", "SYDNEY: But if you'd never met me, you'd have a regular life.", "WILL: Who wants it? I wouldn't trade you for anything. I know a lot of regular people who live regular lives. There's only one Sydney Bristow. MOSCOU, At the Prophet-5 base, we see the wire cage being lifted out.

[ "His obligations to Prophet 5 complete, the organization gives Sloane a hypodermic needle containing a Rambaldi-designed drug that will cure Nadia's comatose condition. But there is a price; in order for the drug to work, Nadia must be rendered clinically dead for 30 seconds. Elsewhere, the hunt for Anna Espinosa continues, with APO unaware that she is now a duplicate of Sydney. Sydney and Renée attempt to track Anna's movements during a ruse at a call centre in Jaipur; after Renée uses a clever deception to allow Sydney to complete the mission, Sydney offers her a job at APO. Renée refuses. Later, Sloane smothers Nadia to death in her hospital bed; Jack arrives and, thinking Sloane is committing euthanasia, nearly prevents him from administering Rambaldi's drug in time, but Nadia is successfully revived with no apparent ill effects from her year-long coma. When Sloane says he got the cure through contacts in Barcelona - location of the headquarters of Prophet Five - Jack gets suspicious. Later, Nadia is reunited with Sydney, but still harboring continued anger towards her father for his past actions, particularly at the end of Season 4, chooses to live with Sydney and the baby instead of Sloane. In France, Renée seduces and later interrogates an old contact who has been given Rambaldi's Page 47 to decipher, but learns the artifact is a fake. Back in Los Angeles, Jack is about to follow Sloane to a possible Prophet Five rendezvous when Nadia appears and asks to go along. The rendezvous instead appears to involve Sloane recovering a suitcase full of Nadia's old clothes from a storage locker. Jack admits he may have misjudged Sloane. In Ghana, where Renée's contact is to meet with Anna, the APO team waits in ambush, but the vehicle apparently containing Anna speeds off at the last second. When Sydney kills the driver it's discovered that Anna has again escaped. Nearby, Renée has been waiting with a sniper rifle to shoot a tranquilizer dart into Anna; called off the mission, she is about to leave her hiding place when she encounters Anna, who looking like Sydney, pulls a knife and slashes Renée's throat. Back in L.A., Sloane opens the suitcase he retrieved and under a pile of clothing is the original Page 47. As he examines it, Nadia arrives, intending to make amends with her father. But when she discovers that he has Page 47, years of resentment over his obsession with Rambaldi's prophecies boil over and she attempts to destroy the document in the fireplace. The paper, however, does not burn; instead the Rambaldi symbol <o> begins to glow on the page. In a desperate move to rescue the page from the flames, Sloane pushes Nadia away. She falls through a glass table with a shard slitting her throat and killing her. Sloane, realizing this must be part of his destiny, joins Prophet Five to await Rambaldi's endgame as Jack discovers Nadia's dead body." ]

[ "An autopsy of Renée Rienne reveals that she has a chip implanted in her body. The chip is engraved with Michael Vaughn's real name, Andre Micheaux, and contains what appears to be corrupted code. Sydney makes plans to travel to Nepal to meet with Vaughn. At the Nepal airfield, Anna-as-Sydney intercepts Sydney's contact and learns from him that Vaughn is still alive. A substitute contact intercepts Sydney and diverts her, almost killing her in a car crash. Anna meets with Vaughn and shows him the chip. Vaughn figures out that the other half of the chip is implanted in him and he and Anna remove it. The two halves of the chip snap together and reveal the location of a hidden bunker in Germany. Anna and Vaughn travel to Germany. Sydney, having escaped from the phony contact, follows. Anna and Vaughn locate the bunker and break in through the basement of an adjoining jewelry store. There they discover all of the intel gathered on Prophet Five by Vaughn and Rienne's fathers. Vaughn reveals that he knows Anna is not Sydney and they fight. Anna gains the upper hand but Sydney shoots her in the head, killing her. Vaughn is finally able to return home. Sloane is working to decode the recently revealed message on Page 47. As he works, an apparition of Nadia appears, taunting him. Sloane states to Peyton that he needs a certain book to complete his work and dispatches her with a message to the bookseller. The apparition of Nadia reveals that Sloane has already completed the decoding; indeed, the note to the bookseller is actually a protocol to contact Julian Sark." ]

I not only gained a sister, but a friend. When I think of the years of loneliness she had, (At the mortuary, a man opens the file of Renee and puts her body out of the box) no family to speak of, not knowing where she truly belonged, I am so grateful for the warmth and affection she was surrounded by in the end. She taught me the meaning of family.

We all have.", "SLOANE: You think I'm having a crisis of conscience because I killed Nadia? Let me be clear. No one will stand between me and the fulfilment of Rambaldi's ultimate vision. No one.

You're driven by anger. You crave power, which I assume was something you were deprived of in childhood. Sydney, on the other hand, is driven by a sense of duty, of loyalty to those she loves.

His name...", "MARSHALL: I'm sorry. Could you repeat that? I can't...", "WOMAN: Can you hear me?", "MARSHALL: No. It's just...There's like a clicking sound. Do you hear that clicking?", "WOMAN: No. But I'll have the manager give you a call.", "MARSHALL: Alright... Why don't you have him... call me? Thank you.", "WOMAN: Alright..", "MARSHALL: Thank you for nothing.", "WOMAN: Thank you for calling. Marshall observes the phone after he hangs up, then He rushes inside Jack's office.", "MARSHALL: We're out of coffee.", "JACK: Coffee?", "MARSHALL: Yeah...I know you might not...think that's important. A lot of people don't...don't drink coffee. (He catches Jack's pen) Generally might...say that you should have some tea or...Some soda, which also has some...caffeine, but I'm telling you, it's not the same. (He writes something to Jack who is completely astonish) It's...important. Somewhere else.", "JACK: You're sure about this?", "MARSHALL: Positive. I noticed a glitch on the phone, so I checked the PBX controls. According to the records, Sloane logged on to the network, and he put the entire phone system on some sort of passive surveillance mode, which...I didn't even know was possible!", "JACK: How did he get access? All of his authorization codes were revoked four days ago.", "MARSHAL: I was thinking the same thing but, remember, Sloane installed most of the systems. He must have installed some sort of backdoor in the network. Listen, for the past 24 hours, Sloane and most likely Prophet5 have be enable to monitor every conversation inside A.P.O.", "JACK: We need to contact Sydney immediately. NEPAL. Jack calls Sydney when she is inside the jeep with the wrong Nabin.", "SYDNEY: Hello?", "JACK: Sydney? Listen to me very carefully. Are you with your contact?", "SYDNEY: Yeah, I am.", "JACK: There's been a security breach at A.P.O. It was Sloane. We have reason to believe you've been compromised.", "SYDNEY: No, we're right on time, actually. I'll call you once we arrive. (Sydney hangs up and observes the man).", "MAN: Cell phones. They are a miracle. In front of them, on the road, there is a broken truck. Near it a man makes signs to Sydney and Nabin.", "SYDNEY: Don't slow down. Just go around.", "MAN: You're in a hurry. I understand. But perhaps, shouldn't we stop to help? Sydney elbows him and tries to grab the wheel. The man on the road fires gunshots at them and the jeep veers off the road and into a ravine. The false Nabin is killed. Sydney is knocked out and stuck inside the jeep when Anna arrives.", "SYDNEY (ANNA): Hello, Sydney (Sydney can't believe seeing her double. Anna picks the microchip inside Sydney's bag) Well, that was fairly easy. Of course, if I'd known it was in Renée, I would have saved us both the trouble and cut it out of her myself, when I slit her throat.", "SYDNEY: Wait...Anna...", "SYDNEY (ANNA): Sorry, Syd. Don't have time to chat. I've got a date. Now... I don't know exactly what I'm going to do with your boyfriend. But whatever it is, I'll have fun doing it. She throws her lighter in the jeep and leaves. Sydney tries to get out and short time after the jeep explodes. Anna arrives in Vaughn's hideout. She enters inside a very primitive house. She finds Vaughn who walks slowly with a cane.", "VAUGHN: Eh.", "SYDNEY (ANNA): Are you okay?", "VAUGHN: Yeah, yeah, I'm fine. Actually, the doctor says I don't need this anymore. I think it looks debonair.", "SYDNEY (ANNA): It does.", "VAUGHN: God, I missed you. They kiss each other.", "VAUGHN: How is she?", "SYDNEY (ANNA): Isabelle. She's beautiful.", "VAUGHN: Just like her mother. Isabelle. Isabelle. You named her Isabelle?", "SYDNEY (ANNA): You like it?", "VAUGHN: Yeah, it was my idea, wasn't it? What is it you wanted? Clementine? Not a day's gone by that I didn't want to call you, talk to you. I had this fear I'd never see you again. Silly, huh?", "ANNA : Maybe a little. Sydney escapes in time and tries to walk up on the road. ZURICH, headquarter of prophet5.", "PEYTON: I'm assuming this is good news. Have you made any progress?", "SLOANE: No. Unfortunately, I've discovered an anomaly in the composition. Joseph Pinara's influence in Rambaldi's encryption. Pinara was a 14th century cleric who published...", "PEYTON: I'll skip the history lesson, if you don't mind.", "SLOANE: \"Le Libraire\". It's a private seller of used books in Geneva. They have a copy of the Pinara manuscript. I can't decipher Page 47 without it.", "PEYTON: Fine. Write down the address. I'll get it myself.", "SLOANE: Very well. (He writes the address and gives it to Peyton). Nadia appears again.", "NADIA: How long do you think you can deceive them? La Page 47 ... Eventually they're going to find out you already know what it says. You're stalling. You must have some plan.", "SLOANE: What do you want from me, Nadia?", "NADIA: I don't want anything.", "SLOANE: Why don't you understand, Nadia? Every sacrifice I've ever made has been for the greater good.", "NADIA: Yet every sacrifice you've made has come at someone else's expense. Or have you forgotten?", "SLOANE: Oh, no, I haven't forgotten. I play it over in my mind. The irony. All those years I was worried about your well being. And now I realize in the end, I had no choice.", "NADIA: You still believe that, don't you? That your actions are controlled by fate? That you were chosen? Why, dad? Surely you must ask yourself why would Rambaldi choose you? You're not a man of honour. You're not particularly courageous. You're charitable, but only when it serves your own interest, and last but not least, you murder the people you claim to love.", "SLOANE: What do you want from me, Nadia?", "NADIA: I don't want anything.", "SLOANE: Then why are you here", "NADIA: Dad...I'm here because you want me here. Now you can pursue Rambaldi and have your daughter at the same time. Isn't that what you said you wanted? Just before you killed me?", "SLOANE: No...Not like this. A guard opens the door.", "GUARD: Sir? Do you need anything? I thought I heard you talking.", "SLOANE: No. I'm fine. NEPAL. Inside Vaughn's house.", "VAUGHN: I can't believe Renée's dead. If it hadn't been for her, I wouldn't have known about Prophet5 or the truth of my father. None of it. Who killed her?", "SYDNEY (ANNA): Anna Espinosa.", "VAUGHN: Anna? She was in jail.", "SYDNEY (ANNA): Apparently Prophet5 arranged for her release. What do you think it is?", "VAUGHN: I don't know. Renée never mentioned it. Marshall couldn't decode it?", "SYDNEY (ANNA): He thought part of the code might be missing. Unless the data has been corrupted. He thinks it was in her body since she was a kid, maybe 30 years.", "VAUGHN: What is it? Where was it, exactly?", "SYDNEY (ANNA): What do you mean?", "VAUGHN: Inside Renée's body, where was it?", "SYDNEY (ANNA): I don't know. Why?", "VAUGHN: My father once told me a story that I had a bike accident when I was a kid, drove it right into a tree. And even though I have no recollection of it, I never questioned him, because it left me with this scar. (He shows a scar on his chest). Maybe the code isn't corrupted at all. Maybe there's another half. Anna starts a chirurgical operation.", "SYDNEY (ANNA): Okay, this might prevent infection, but it won't help with pain.", "VAUGHN: Yeah, well, you can handle childbirth, I can handle this. I'm in good hands.", "SYDNEY (ANNA): You need to sit very still. This is going to hurt.", "VAUGHN: Yeah, I know. You mentioned that. It's okay. I trust you. Sydney goes inside the jeep and calls her father.", "JACK: Hello.", "SYDNEY: Dad, it's me.", "JACK: Sydney, are you okay?", "SYDNEY: You were right. The mission's been compromised. Anna knows about Vaughn.", "JACK: Where are you?", "SYDNEY: Wait, dad, listen to me. It gets worse. I've been doubled. NEPAL. Inside Vaughn's house.", "SYDNEY (ANNA): You need to stay still. Think about some things.", "VAUGHN: Yeah, well, give me something to think about. Tell me about Isabelle.", "SYDNEY (ANNA): Well, she has your eyes, the same... blue green. And her smile is... is like your smile.", "VAUGHN: Really?", "SYDNEY (ANNA): Yeah, but her chin is pointy. It's like mine. It's cute.", "VAUGHN: Oh, God, I can't wait to meet her!", "SYDNEY (ANNA): I got it. (She gets the micro chip).

I've got it right over here. Your receipt is in the book. Nothing else?", "PEYTON: No, that'll be all. Thanks.", "After Peyton is gone, the bookseller gives a call.", "BOOKSELLER: I believe there is someone trying to contact you. No, it wasn't him. It was a woman, but she knew the protocol. NEPAL. Inside Vaughn's house. Anna and Vaughn find the code with the two microchips. They watch a map on the computer screen. They see: \"EVAKUIERUNGPLAN ALPHA 3 \".", "SYDNEY (ANNA): German.", "VAUGHN: Yeah. Looks like some sort of emergency evacuation plan. Continuity of government from the cold war. It's a nuclear fallout bunker. Hamburg, Germany, under Bergner park.", "SYDNEY (ANNA): You think there's something there?", "VAUGHN: Maybe. I'm going to go with you to find out. Look, I know what you're thinking. I'm not ready, but, Syd, you said it yourself. My father left this map. Chances are, when you get there, you may need my help.", "SYDNEY (ANNA): You're right. I'll call for transport.", "VAUGHN: Okay. Sydney arrives in Vaughn's hut to see the helicopter depart", "SYDNEY: No ! LOS ANGELES. APO, Jack leads a meeting.", "JACK: What I'm about to tell you is not to leave this room. Agent Vaughn is alive.", "MARSHALL: I knew it! I knew it! I knew he couldn't be... dead. Everybody is surprised.", "JACK: For the last several months, Vaughn's been kept in a secure location in Nepal pending his recovery. I hope you can all understand that secrecy was a necessary measure to ensure his safety. Unfortunately, those measures weren't sufficient. Through Sloane's tapping of our network, prophet5 learned of Sydney's trip to Nepal. They sent an agent to intercept herer.", "DIXON: Is she okay?", "JACK: She's fine. She made it to Vaughn's location, but Vaughn was no longer there.", "RACHEL: He was abducted.", "JACK: In a matter of speaking. We managed to pick up the trail. This was taken in the Hamburg international airport one hour ago. The woman in the photo is not Sydney. HAMBOURG. Anna and Vaughn stake out a jewellery store near the bunker.", "SYDNEY (ANNA): You sure you got the coordinates right? What happened to Bergner park?", "VAUGHN: A lot changes in 30 years, but those bunkers were steel reinforced concrete. It would be pretty tough to demolish something like that. My guess is that they're still under there. We just have to find a way in.", "SYDNEY (ANNA): You know, that diamond store over there it probably has some pretty expensive pieces. Chances are they're locked away every night.", "VAUGHN: In some sort of basement storage room, maybe?", "SYDNEY (ANNA): Worth a try. How do you want to handle this?", "VAUGHN: Like we did in Cartagena.", "SYDNEY (ANNA): I'll follow your lead.", "VAUGHN: Okay, let's go. ZURICH, headquarter of prophet5. Outside, Sloane gets a visit of the ghost of Nadia.", "NADIA: Do you really think you're going to get away with this? You're out of your league. They killed Vaughn. They killed Renée. They've probably killed Sydney by now.", "SLOANE: Stop, Nadia. Just stop.", "NAIDA: They're better than you, smarter. What makes you think you stand a chance? Peyton joins Sloane.", "PEYTON: This should solve all your problems. The Pinara manuscript. I hope it helps. (Sloane looks behind him but Nadia is not here). Well, with all the work that has to be done, I'll get out of your way.", "SLOANE: Unfortunately, I seem to be getting in my own way.", "PEYTON: How is that?", "SLOANE: The effects of losing a child cannot be underestimated. You're right. I am distracted. In order for me to concentrate on the future, I need to make peace with the past. HAMBOURG. Inside the jewellery store.", "SYDNEY (ANNA): Oh, baby, look at this one. (She points out a ring)", "VAUGHN: Really?", "SYDNEY (ANNA): Oh, it's gorgeous!", "VAUGHN: No, I'd prefer that one there. It's, you know... it's a little less big.", "SYDNEY (ANNA): No, no, no, no.", "JEWELLER: Is there anything you would like to see?", "SYDNEY (ANNA): Hi. Is this a princess cut?", "JEWELLER: Yes, it is. Your girlfriend has very good taste.", "VAUGHN: Yeah, for that price, she might as well be a princess", "JEWELLER: It costs nothing to try on Anna pretends to not be well.", "JEWELLER: A stone of that quality has this effect on some people.", "VAUGHN: No, she has seizures. Kelly, just breathe. It's okay. Could I get some help here, please? (He calls the guard). It's okay. Just relax. Vaughn gets the gun of the guard and Anna hits him. Vaughn points the gun on the jeweller.", "VAUGHN: How do I get access downstairs?", "JEWELLER: My keys... take my keys.", "VAUGHN: Watch him. Vaughn gets down but there is nothing than a room with no doors.", "SYDNEY (ANNA): I'm in Hamburg, Bromestrasse .I'll need an extraction.", "JEWELLER: Don't hurt me, please. I'll do whatever you ask.", "SYDNEY (ANNA): Then shut up. Thanks. (She kicks him). Vaughn breaks a wall and finds a room. Inside he finds a door with a numeric paddle. He manages to short-circuit the wire and to open the door. He lights the lamps and discovers a large room and a multitude of documents fixed on the walls. As he picks up a file, Anna arrives and points a gun at Vaughn.", "SYDNEY (ANNA): I've got it from here.", "VAUGHN: Who are you?", "SYDNEY (ANNA): It's a pity you'll never know. (She pulls the trigger but Vaughn had taken out the clip).", "VAUGHN: Sydney and I never went to Cartagena. And just for the record, you're a terrible kisser. Anna throws her knee in Vaughn's thorax, and then she puts his head through a window.", "SYDNEY (ANNA): I always said Sydney was too good for you. They fight again. Vaughn, weakened from his seclusion, falls first. Anna gets the gun.", "SYDNEY (ANNA): Let's see if this one's loaded. As Anna is about to kill Vaughn, Sydney arrives and shoots Anna dead. She gets quickly to see Vaughn.", "VAUGHN: Sydney. Sydney.", "SYDNEY: Are you all right?", "VAUGHN: Yeah, I'm fine. How did you... They finally embrace for real. Sloane goes to a church with a Prophet5 guard and leaves a matchbook by the candles.", "SLOANE: Okay, we can go now.. As he leaves, Sark arrives to pick up Sloane's message. HAMBOURG. Inside the bunker, Sydney and Vaughn investigate.", "SYDNEY: Project summaries, test subjects, names, dates it's all here. Your father's research of prophet5.", "VAUGHN: Most of these organizations still exist, Syd.", "SYDNEY: We can end it all. Anna's cell phone rings.", "SYDNEY: Hang on... Go ahead", "PEYTON (In a car): I got your message. Did you get the chip?", "SYDNEY: (pretends to be Anna) Yes. I'm done here.", "PEYTON: Good. Bleichen and Bromestrasse. We should be there in five minutes. Sydney hangs up.", "SYDNEY: That was Peyton. She's coming to extract Anna.", "VAUGHN: Who's Peyton?", "SYDNEY: Sloane is part of this. He works with prophet five. He killed Nadia. This is my chance to stop him.", "VAUGHN: Sydney.", "SYDNEY: I know. You can't go back to A.P.O. There are moles within the government. We can't trust anyone. Contact my father. Explain the situation.", "VAUGHN: Okay, I will. Here, take this. (He separates the two microchips). It's useless to them without the other half. Take the tracking device in your phone and embed it in the chip before you hand it over. We'll be able to track your movements.", "SYDNEY: I have to go.", "VAUGHN: I know. Before Sydney leaves, she embraces Vaughn and says goodbye once again.", "VAUGHN: Be careful. He looks at her as she leaves the room. Sydney gets inside Peyton's car.", "PEYTON: We were expecting to hear from you sooner.", "SYDNEY: I ran into a few complications. Nothing I couldn't handle.", "PEYTON: And Sydney?", "SYDNEY: She's dead. This is what they found inside Renée Rienne.", "PEYTON: Nice work. Well, if you were able to pull this off, the rest should be easy. Yeah." ]

[ "Sydney meets with Sloane, who thinks she is Anna, in order to find out what he knows about where the last Rambaldi clue is located. She tells him that she killed Sydney by shooting her in the back and that there was nothing special about how she died. On the way to Rome, Sloane talks to Peyton, telling her that he wants to kill Anna (Sydney) once she has finished helping him recover the final clue. In a sports betting bar in Rome, Sark, who also thinks she is Anna, meets with Sydney. After calling the police himself, Sark acts out a dramatic robbery in the bar in order to get both of them arrested; this is how they will get into the prison where the final Rambaldi clue is located. It is where Rambaldi himself spent his final days. In separate cells inside the prison, Sark fakes a seizure so he will be taken out of his cell and able to unlock the prison doors for Sydney. When Sydney gets to the prison basement she meets an old man, who gives her a necklace complete with a red pendant, the final Rambaldi clue. The old man does not say who he is, but says that he is not part of the battle which is about to take place. Sydney goes back up to her cell intent on taking the clue for herself, but Sloane appears and surprising her with a stun gun takes the necklace. He then tries to kill her - as he still thinks she is Anna - by choking her, but Vaughn shows up just in time and Sloane flees. Back in Los Angeles, Vaughn and Sydney are looking over Isabelle and talking about her when the phone rings. Sydney answers; Sloane is on the other end. He says he knew it was she who killed Anna and not the other way around. He then says he has all the artifacts and can now go through with his endgame." ]

However, I do have one concern. Rambaldi's prophecies have always taken into account the smallest variables. This is a man who predicted events hundreds of years before we were born. The rose in question is indeed unique...as unique as Sydney herself. What is unclear, however, is whether Anna Espinosa, posing as Sydney, is able to complete the task.", "MAN: Well, then I guess you've got your work cut out for you.

All I had to do was waiting.

You can't stop them.", "SYDNEY: You don't know me very well.", "OLD MAN: You're more charming than I could have imagined. I used to believe as you do, that there were decisions to be made.

First, tell me why she had to die?", "KORMAN: Truth is, she was just in the wrong place at the wrong time.", "TOM: I don't understand.", "KORMAN: My information said you were picking her up at her job. I was waiting at the bottom of the stairs. You were supposed to be with her. It was a mistake. He died because I thought she was you. I'm going to disappear now. If you come after me, I'll know.

I hope she's a doctor or a teacher or just anything that does not involve wearing a wig.", "VAUGHN: I don't know. I think she'd look pretty cute in a little pink wig. Maybe not. You okay?", "SYDNEY: Yeah, it just...I'm still a little sore, I guess. We came so close, Vaughn.", "VAUGHN: Syd...", "SYDNEY: Sloane and Prophet5... They're still out there.", "VAUGHN: Hey, I thought we agreed tonight it's just us, okay? (Isabelle gets sleep) Oh, my God. All right, the snoring... it kills me. Phone rings.", "SYDNEY: Hello?", "SLOANE: It was you, Sydney. Of course. How could I have ever thought otherwise? I saw it in you the first time we met. You're a survivor... just like me. And now thanks to you, I have everything I need..." ]

[ "With the collected Prophet Five documentation at hand, APO spreads out across the globe to take photos of the different Prophet Five members. Once they gather the photos and information at the office, they decide to make the arrests simultaneously to avoid tipping the rest of the members off, including Sloane. Jack tasks Marshall to track all their activities so they can coordinate an arrest. Sloane talks to Sark and Peyton and proposes that they solidify their position in Prophet Five so they would be less expendable. In spite of Peyton's initial hesitation, she agrees. Tom visits Rachel in her apartment. She consoles him in his sadness and he leans in to kiss her. When Rachel goes in the kitchen, Tom leaves. Rachel is abducted by Sark. Around the same time Marshall is abducted from his home and is brought to Sloane's hideout. With Peyton, Sloane asks Marshall to hack into the government system and locate a cavern by accessing the federal ground-penetrating satellite. When Marshall refuses, Peyton tortures him; elsewhere, Sark tortures Rachel. Sydney and Jack visit Carrie, Marshall's wife, who called them for support in finding Marshall. When Sydney reveals to her that Marshall is still working for the CIA, Carrie volunteers to help and provide technical support in Marshall's absence. As soon as Carrie arrives in the APO office, she cracks the password for Marshall's program to track Prophet Five members (which is Moonglum of Elwher). Sloane confronts Sydney in the parking lot as she is carrying Isabelle. Sloane tells her to talk to Marshall, who is determined to not give in. Sydney then tells Marshall to do what Sloane says and asks what he wants to tell Carrie. He asks Sydney to tell Carrie to finish reading the book \"The Littlest Fish\" to their son. Marshall tells Rachel that he needs her help in doing Sloane's bidding. To ease Rachel's confusion, Marshall tells her that he had spoken to Sydney. Marshall suggests that they leapfrog across the network so they would not get caught in their hacks. With an understanding that Marshall actually wants to get caught, they begin to work on their laptop. Later, Rachel locates the cave that Sloane wanted in central Italy. Vaughn relays Marshall's message to Carrie, where Carrie figures out that the lead character in \"The Littlest Fish\" is named Noah. She concludes that Marshall must be referring to NOAA, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration - something that Marshall must be hacking currently. Carrie sets up trip wires to monitor government hacks and pinpoint Marshal's location. She finds Marshall deliberately triggering network security protocols. She narrows his location down to Ixtapa and Jack sends a rescue team. In the basement, Rachel picks her handcuffs with an underwire and with Marshall, they escape the guard who was sent to kill them. Followed by other guards, they run through a corridor in time to be rescued by APO. At the APO office, Carrie reports to Jack that based on Marshall's tracker, The Twelve seem to be gathering in Zurich. Jack assumes that Sloane must be presenting the information that Marshall and Rachel uncovered and assembles strike team. Retrieving information at Sloane's safehouse, Rachel mentions that Sloane is going to Umbria. Sydney realizes that he must be going to Mount Subasio. Sydney and Vaughn travel to Mount Subasio and Sydney rappels into an icy cavern, where she finds Sloane with the Rambaldi amulet. When Sydney holds him at gunpoint, Sloane says that a shot will trigger a cave in. Meanwhile, in Los Angeles, Sark sets a timer for a planted bomb. At the APO office, Tom reports that based on the files in Sloane's hideout, bombs are being planted around the APO office through the subway system. Jack tells them to clear the office while Tom and Dixon sweep the tunnels for the bomb. Marshall and Rachel are tasked to evacuate civilians. Later, Tom finds the bomb and reports that it can't be dismantled because of the fail-safe components. He suggests freezing the timer with liquid nitrogen to extend the countdown. Peyton goes to Zurich and meets with The Twelve. Standing in the middle of the room and expected to present the amulet, Peyton opens the briefcase and pulls out two semi-automatic weapons. She kills all the members of The Twelve and their bodyguards. With the last of the civilians cleared out of the tunnel, Jack tells Tom to get out of the train and run to safety. Instead, Tom asks to be patched to Rachel. He tells Rachel that if they had more time, he would have asked her out. Rachel tearfully replies that she would have said yes. The bomb detonates, destroying APO headquarters and killing Grace. Sloane holds the amulet against the light. He tells Sydney she is not allowed to see it and he shoots the icy ground she is standing on. Syd falls through and is rendered unconscious." ]

You know he won't hesitate to kill them once he gets what he needs.", "JACK: I know. You were right about him. After Irina was extracted, I was taken into custody.

No, Marshall, you're not cut out for this.", "MARSHALL: You know, I never liked you. I tolerated you because I had to, you know, because you were my superior. And I was afraid of you. And I saw how...twisted...you were. But now, I see you for who you really are. You are a weak, pathetic man. You know, you're right. I'm not cut out for this. But I am thinking about my son. I want Mitchell to look up to me, to be proud of his dad. Which is why no matter what you do to me... I'll never help you. You know what? I got...a hangnail right there on my thumb.

Nothing is gonna happen...", "MARSHALL: If anything happened to me, tell Mitchell how strong I was...Make sure he's proud of his old man. Tell Carrie to move on, okay? And find someone else. It's totally fine.", "SYDNEY: Marshall, listen to me! Whatever Sloane is asking, I want you to do it.", "MARSHALL: What? Syd, no, I can't.", "SYDNEY: Whatever he asks. Your life is more important.

Of course, we understood. You had just lost your mother, and your father was taken into custody. Remember? We tried to reach out...but there was a time when that was impossible. So we lined the shelves of your room, all of them, with stuffed animals...hoping that that would comfort you. And every morning, I would come into your room to wake you up...there they were, buried underneath your blanket.

Outside the explosion creates a large crater", "MOUNT SUBASIO", "Vaughn sees the sun rises at the horizon. Sloane sees the light rises over the rim of the cave above him.", "SLOANE: The sky... Sloane holds the amulet against the light. We can see a projection of the Rambaldi sign on an ice wall.", "SLOANE: I'm sorry, Sydney, this isn't my choice. You're not allowed to see this. He shoots the icy ground she is standing on. Syd falls through and is rendered unconscious a few meters below." ]

[ "Vaughn finds an unconscious Sydney and administers CPR. In a flashback, Sydney recalls the time when Jack told her that her mother had died, asking her to be strong. Sydney wakes up. Peyton tells Sloane that she was able to make contact with their ally in Hong Kong, and that they have a deal as she reveals the Horizon. Sark asks if they want to go through with this global genocide. Sloane confirms as they look on nuclear missiles. In the safety of a hotel in Siena, Sydney flashes back to her childhood when she assembled building blocks, not realizing that this was part of Project Christmas - meant to test people's aptitude for being operatives. Later Sydney reads a report of two stolen missiles and assumes Sloane's involvement. Sydney concludes that if Sloane had killed all Prophet Five members, he must have all their assets, and would have bought these missiles from someone. Marshall then hacks into the Russian bank network and looks into the phone records. Via satellite, they are able to locate Peyton. Vaughn, Dixon and Sydney interrogate Peyton, and she tells them that she does not know where the missiles are stored now but she knows that Sloane is targeting two cities with high civilian concentrations. Jack remarks that Sloane is not interested in devastation -he wants to profit from the reconstruction. Sydney discovers that Sloane is in Mongolia. As Sydney prepares to fly to Mongolia, Rachel reports that she and Marshall are trying to hack into optical satellites to locate the missiles. They realize that Sloane has hacked into the network with information uploaded from a contact in Hong Kong. Peyton reveals the contact under interrogation by Dixon. Sloane and Sark go inside the cave in Mongolia. Later, Sloane says that the next step is for him alone to do. Sloane journeys down to a chamber that turns out to be Rambaldi's burial place. He places the Horizon on top of Rambaldi's tomb. A red sphere (similar to but probably not like those generated by a Mueller device) appears and a red fluid drains from that sphere into the Horizon. Vaughn, Sydney and Jack infiltrate the camp set up outside of Rambaldi's tomb. Sydney sneaks into the underground chamber and holds Sloane at gunpoint. Meanwhile, Vaughn and Jack are surrounded by Sark and his men. Sydney is about to destroy the Horizon when Sark arrives holding Vaughn and Jack hostage. Holding Sydney at gunpoint, Sloane urges her to give the artifact back. He then shoots Jack. Sydney drops the Horizon and rushes to her father as Vaughn fights with his captors. Sydney shoots Sloane several times and Sloane falls into a pool of the red liquid. He dies and Sark picks up the Horizon. Sydney flashes back to a memory of telling her father she'd started working for Credit Dauphine and Jack telling her to quit immediately. Sydney and Vaughn carry a severely wounded Jack out of the chamber where they attempt to perform first aid. Vaughn says Sloane is dead and that Sark must be taking the Horizon to their contact in Hong Kong--Irina Derevko. Jack urges them to go to Hong Kong. When Sydney wants to stay, Jack says that she is the only one who can stop her mother. He adds that he never wanted this life for Sydney, but Sydney is far too driven and strong to let anyone stop her. Sydney tells her father that she loves him and leaves reluctantly. In Hong Kong, Sark delivers the Horizon to Irina and reports that the missiles are ready. Irina tells him to target London and Washington D.C. Sark goes to a control room and initiates the countdown. Sydney arrives and confronts Irina, who tells her that power is the only currency and that through Rambaldi, they can live forever. Sydney and Irina fight furiously, while Vaughn breaks into the control room and shoots Sark. With Marshall's help, the launch is aborted. Meanwhile, in Mongolia, Sloane's bullet wounds heal and he is restored to life. As he sees Nadia's ghost, he starts to walk out of the chamber when a wounded Jack stops him. Sloane says he can heal Jack; Jack refuses, saying Sloane has caused Sydney so much pain he won't let him do it again. Sloane tells Jack that he is now immortal, but Jack points out that he can keep him in that cave with him. Jack sets off explosives, causing a cave in. Sydney and Irina continue their struggle on a roof deck, where Irina falls to her death as she tries to grab the Horizon. Irina about to grasp the Horizon. In Mongolia, Sloane is half-buried alive, with no one to hear his calls for help. Nadia's ghost appears to tell him that she can do nothing for him and that as he had said, he has all the time in the world. \"At least I'll have you to keep me company,\" he remarks. She says no as she turns her back to her father and disappears. Flash forward to a scene of 7-yr old Isabelle playing by the ocean. Dixon arrives, and Vaughn and Sydney greet him, with Sydney carrying a toddler son named Jack. Dixon asks Sydney for some help in an assignment, but Vaughn suggests discussing this after dinner. Meanwhile, Isabelle finds wooden building blocks -- the same ones that were used in the Project Christmas tests. Isabelle assembles the blocks effortlessly and successfully, but then knocks them down nonchalantly and runs out with Sydney, Vaughn and Dixon for a walk by the beach." ]

(He looks after Sydney's neck where there is a deep wound). Just hold still.", "SYDNEY: Sorry. Why would Sloane steal the missiles?", "VAUGHN: What?", "SYDNEY: He just wiped out the Twelve, right? Which means that he controls their assets? He wouldn't steal missiles. He'd just buy them on the black market. I think I know how to find him.", "SYDNEY VOICE OVER: We start with the money. If we can hack into the system, we can I.D. who the payoffs went to. View of Jack hacking a computer. View of Marshall hacking the Russian bank network.", "SYDNEY VOICE OVER: Then all we need are phone records. View of Rachel stealing a mobile phone in a man suit.", "SYDNEY VOICE OVER: If I'm right, they'll lead us right to Sloane... Or at least, someone he's been working with. Using phone records and satellite telemetry, someone locates Peyton. Vaughn and Dixon stop her when she is about to take a lift. Inside the facility, Sydney takes off the hood of Peyton's head.", "SYDNEY: We know you're working with Arvin Sloane, and we know about the I.C.B.M. She's recently acquired. What we don't know is where they are or where they're headed. Now I'm well aware that you're tough, that you've been conditioned to withstand torture. But I have something you don't have. I have your former best friend.", "RACHEL: And I know what you're afraid of. A snake comes upon the right shoulder of Peyton, who looks scared.", "SYDNEY: If I were you, I would stay extremely still. Sydney goes outside the room.", "SYDNEY: (to Dixon, Vaughn and Jack) She has no idea where those missiles are.", "DIXON: Are you sure?", "SYDNEY: Positive. What she does know: Sloane is planning to target two cities with high civilian concentrations.", "JACK: He's not interested in the devastation. He plans to profit off the reconstruction. Sloane controls Prophet5's network, communications, pharmaceuticals, finance, he'll make billions.", "SYDNEY: It gets worse. Sloane is in Mongolia. MONGOLIA. Mountain landscape. A jeep arrives among some tents. A lots of men digs on an excavation site.", "A MAN: (To Sark) Good news. I think we found it. Sloane and Sark go out of their car and follow the man. They go inside a cave which has the mark of Rambaldi on the top.", "Flashback: Sydney is in the faculty with Francie.", "FRANCIE: Put on your dancing shoes. We are going out tonight.", "SYDNEY: I can't tonight.", "FRANCIE: \"Can't\" is not an option. Charlie got us passes for that new club in Silver lake.", "SYDNEY: That job fair is tonight. I really wanna go.", "FRANCIE: Job fair? What? Syd, you have four years to figure out what kind of job you want.", "SYDNEY: I just had a meeting with my advisor, and she yelled at me 'cause I haven't picked a major yet.", "FRANCIE: Education. Done. You can be a teacher like your mom. I mean, you always talked about how happy she was.", "SYDNEY: I thought about that, but I've always thought about teaching as my safety net.", "FRANCIE: Teaching's no safety net. You know how dangerous it is to be a teacher? Kids bring knives to school these days.", "SYDNEY: I hate the thought that I could make a decision now that would affect the rest of my life.", "FRANCIE: Well, I say go with education. Charlie is bringing a friend tonight, Danny something. We'll pick you up at... I'll see you later.", "SD6 AGENT: Sydney Bristow, I was hoping I might have a moment of your time. (He gives her a CIA card). In a facility. Sydney is training with a gun.", "SYDNEY: Tell Dixon we'll touch base as soon as we cross into Mongolian airspace.", "RACHEL: Marshall and I are gonna hack into the N.R.O., see if we can use their optical satellites to locate the missiles.", "SYDNEY: Rachel, listen. Prophet5 is gone. Your family is no longer in danger. You don't have to do this anymore.", "RACHEL: People have given their lives for this. I'm not gonna bail on them now. I'm in this until it's over. Of course, if we don't find Sloane, that may not be very long from now...", "MONGOLIA: Sark and Sloane enter inside the cave.", "SARK: Did it have to be so filthy? I mean, really, if Rambaldi a prophesize the future, he might have advised me not to wear 500$ shoes. Structural imaging shows that there's a chamber about 200 feet below us. That's quite a climb.", "SLOANE: You needn't worry. The next step is for me alone. (Leaving Sark behind, Sloane descends to Rambaldi's burial chamber. He poses the lamp on the tomb and open the box) At last, after almost 30 years.", "NADIA: Is it everything you imagined?", "SLAONE: Nadia, I'm so glad you're here. If I didn't have someone to share this with, I may have doubted my own eyes.", "NADIA: You're talking to your dead daughter. This is an odd time to question your sanity.", "SLOANE: Perhaps. He places the Sphere atop Rambaldi's tomb between the two signs \"<\" and \">\". The sphere starts to spin and light. Above it appears the red hovering ball. Outside, Vaughn, Syd and Jack infiltrate the camp above Rambaldi's tomb. Syd sneaks into the underground chamber. Inside, Sloane looks at the red ball which flies above the sphere of life. The red ball empties itself in the sphere of life.", "NADIA: So that's it? All this time, that's what you wanted.", "SLOANE: This, sweetheart, this is what everybody has always wanted. And I've found it. Sydney arrives inside the room and holds Sloane at gunpoint.", "SYDNEY: It's over, Sloane. Outside, Vaughn kills a guard but Sark puts is gun on his head.", "SARK: Correct me if I'm wrong, Mr. Vaughn, but aren't you supposed to be dead? I suppose we'll have to rectify that. Jack arrives behind Sark. Unfortunately another guard just appears behind Jack.", "SARK: Well, then, it appears we have a predicament. Inside, Sydney moves near the tomb.", "SYDNEY: Don't move. Syd grabs the Sphere.", "SLOANE: No! Sydney, don't! The liquid from the hovering ball splatters.", "SYDNEY: What is this, Sloane?", "SLOANE: Sydney, please don't be rash.", "SYDNEY: Give me one reason why I shouldn't destroy this right now.", "SARK: Suppose I were to give you two good reasons? Sydney looks back to see that Sark has just arrived, holding Vaughn and Jack at hostage. In the facility.", "MARSHALL: (To Dixon) Rachel and I hacked into the N.R.O.'S global surveillance system to look for the missiles. We noticed some weird network activity on the E.W.S.", "RACHEL: Someone's trying to disable our defence satellites. They've released a virus. It's eating through our entire grid.", "DIXON: Sloane, he's gonna strike the U.S. Can you purge the virus?", "MARSHALL: No, not from here. But I did pinpoint the origin. Someone uploaded it from Hong Kong.", "DIXON: (To Peyton) Who's in Hong Kong? Who are you protecting?", "MARSHALL: Should I get the snake?", "PEYTON: Don't. Sloane had to call in a partner. He needed something he didn't have.", "DIXON: What's that? MONGOLIA. Inside the chamber.", "SLOANE: (holds Sydney at gunpoint) Hand me the sphere, Sydney. I'll let you all walk out of here. I won't insult you with pretence, Sydney. We know each other too well for that. Oh, I know you're trying to figure a way out. Just hand over the sphere, and I will let you all walk away.", "SYDNEY: If I give this to you, what's to guarantee you won't shoot us anyway?", "SLOANE: Despite what you may think, I'm not heartless. Come on, take my offer. It appears that Vaughn is back. Go. Be a family. Frankly, I don't think you have any other option.", "SYDNEY: If you want this, we'll walk out of here together, and then we'll talk.", "SLOANE: Well, remember, Sydney, it's your choice. Sloane moves first, shooting Jack. Syd drops the sphere to go over to Jack while.", "SYDNEY: Dad!Dad! Arvin catches the sphere. Vaughn dispatches their captors. Syd shoots Sloane. He tumbles into the red liquid on the tomb, dead. Sark makes off with the Sphere.", "Flashback: Sydney arrives at home.", "SYDNEY: Dad? Dad?Dad? Are you home?", "JACK: (phone) That's right, they're having problems with their tail rudder controls. Yeah. Okay, well, I'll get back to you. Hello, Sydney. (She gives him a file) What's this?", "SYDNEY: Open it. You've been paying my tuition. I thought I should at least help out.", "JACK: What'd you do, rob a bank?", "SYDNEY: Sort of. I got a job at a bank. It's just part-time for now, at least. It's...It's, a French bank. It's called Credit Dauphine. They have a very international clientele.", "JACK: Credit Dauphine?", "SYDNEY: Yeah, they have 12 branches around the world.", "JACK: You're already working there?", "SYDNEY: About a month. I wanted to make sure it would work out before I told you.", "JACK: A month. Good. It's not too late to quit.", "SYDNEY: What?", "JACK: Sydney, listen to me.", "SYDNEY: I'm not quitting this job. I like it. I'm good at it.", "JACK: I imagine you are. That's not the point.", "SYDNEY: What is the point?", "JACK: Sydney!", "SYDNEY: God, if mom were here, she...", "JACK: If your mother was here... If your mother was here, she would want you to focus on school, which is what you're going to do.", "SYDNEY: (nearly crying) I didn't come to ask your permission. I've already made my decision.", "JACK: This is not your decision to make. (Sydney leaves) Sydney, come back. MONGOLIA. Outside. Vaughn and Sydney lift Jack outside who's badly wounded.", "SYDNEY: OK. Right here.", "VAUGHN: All right, Syd.", "SYDNEY: You're okay, you're okay.", "JACK: It's okay. I'm gonna go call for help, okay?", "SYDNEY: Okay, just be still. Look, you're gonna be okay.", "VAUGHN: (call Dixon) We have a problem. Jack's been shot.", "DIXON: How bad?", "VAUGHN: It's critical. We need air support.", "DIXON: (To Marshall) Contact Salim Behari in Ulaanbaatar. Have him send a med vac unit. Tell them to hurry.", "SYDNEY: Dad, keep talking to me.", "JACK: I'm doing fine. It's...It's just...It's just a scratch.", "SYDNEY: I'm just gonna take a look. (She finds an horrible bleeding wound on his chest) You're gonna be okay.", "MARSHALL: (To Dixon) Chopper's on its way. Should be here in half-hour.", "DIXON: (To Vaughn) Did you hear that?", "VAUGHN: Yeah Listen. Sloane's dead, Sark got away. He's got the artifact.", "DIXON: I think we know where he's going.", "VAUGHN: Mede vac's on its way. How's he doing?", "SYDNEY: His heart rate's up. I think the bullet penetrated his lung. He's not getting enough air.", "VAUGHN: Sloane has a partner. We know who's behind this. CHINA. Irina calls Sark.", "SARK: I have the artefact. I'm on my way.", "IRINA: Good. See that it gets here intact. MONGOLIA. Outside. Wait, Vaughn...Wait, Vaughn, wait!", "JACK: Irina!", "VAUGHN: He traded her the missiles. Marshall managed to access the launch protocol, but he can't shut them down. She's in Hong Kong, preparing to strike as we speak.", "JACK: Listen to me. We have to stop her.", "SYDNEY: Listen to me. Dad, you have been shot in the chest. The medical team is on their way. You...I can't risk moving you. Right?", "JACK: (To Vaughn) I can't... Vaughn, get the transport ready.. (Vaughn runs).", "SYDNEY: Wait, Vaughn... Wait, Vaughn, wait! Dad, what are you doing? You can't go anywhere.", "JACK: Sydney, Sydney, your mother's not the type to make empty threats. If she's acquired missiles, she intends to use them.", "SYDNEY: You can't even stand up straight. How do you expect to confront mom?", "JACK: I'm not coming with you. You have to go to Hong Kong. There's no other way. I am not leaving you here. You're the only one who can get to Irina in time. You're the only one who can beat her.", "SYDNEY: I can't.", "JACK: Yes, you can. I never wanted this life for you, you know. I never wanted you to bear this kind of responsibility, but you...you were a very...difficult little girl...You were far too driven, far too strong to let someone like me stop you from becoming who you are.", "SYDNEY: Dad, the medical team is coming. If you'll just sit tight...", "JACK: Sydney, listen to me. There's no one in this world that can do the things that you can do. I can hold out until help arrives, but you have to go. You have to stop your mother", "SYDNEY: Okay...Just...Okay, good. Just...Keep applying pressure, please. You... you can't afford to lose more blood.", "JACK: Just get moving.", "SYDNEY: I love you, dad.", "JACK: I love you, Sydney.", "SYDNEY: (Crying) I don't want to leave you.", "JACK: Go.

Sloane's dead, and we lost the tomb.", "IRINA: But the artefact's intact.", "SARK: There's a reason my fees are so high.", "IRINA: Sloane's death doesn't change our agenda. Contact controls. As soon as the satellites are down, launch the missile strikes.", "SARK: Have you decided on the final targets?", "IRINA: Washington and London.", "SARK: Right away. In space, a satellite starts to burn and fall on the earth. Sark enters a control room.", "SARK: What's our status?", "VOICE: Mil-sat one just hit atmosphere. The rest of the satellites are right behind it.", "SARK: Initiate the countdown. LOS ANGELES. Control room.", "MARSHALL: Oh, my God. They've started the launch. Hong Kong. In a hotel room.", "SYDNEY: So that's it. It's the Horizon, isn't it? You shot the man I loved. You betrayed my trust. You risked my daughter's life, all for that.", "IRINA: I don't expect you to understand. We're very different, Sydney. You still cling to naive ideals. I learned, at a very young age, the only currency worth anything in this world is power", "SYDNEY: And the Horizon gives you that?", "IRINA: You've never seen Rambaldi for what he is. You dismissed his work as the labour of a madman. You blind yourself to his true potential. I've spent a lifetime acquiring power. With this...And I'll never have to give it up. Rambaldi is life, Sydney. Through him, we can live forever. (We have a view of Sloane who rises with his mortal wounds healed). I offered you an out. I gave you your daughter. I was hoping you'd settle down, leave me to my affairs.", "SYDNEY: You don't know me very well, do you?", "IRINA: Sadly, I think I do. After all, I'm still your mother.", "SYDNEY: That doesn't mean anything. Not anymore. I am through being disappointed by you.", "IRINA: I hate that it's come to this.", "SYDNEY: I suppose it had to.", "IRINA: I've come too far to let anything get in my way.", "SYDNEY: Then you'll have to go through me first.", "Flashback: Sydney enters Sloane's SD-6 office.", "SYDNEY: You wanted to see me, sir?", "SLOANE: I've been reviewing your evaluations since you arrived at SD-6.To a letter; they're nothing short of exemplary. I've upgraded your clearance, and I'm considering promoting you to field officer.", "SYDNEY: Really?", "SLOANE: Now, Sydney, I want to know that you have given this job its proper consideration. I realize that you have a romantic notion of the espionage trade, but this job...is more than just brush passes and dead drops. You will be facing life and death situations on a regular basis. Do you understand that? You will be forced to make decisions that will haunt you for the rest of your life. This job requires sacrifice, and you need to know that you are able to live with that.", "SYDNEY: I can, sir. For as long as I can remember, I have been searching...for what I'm supposed to do, for what I'm supposed to be. This is my purpose. It's in my blood. It's who I am. I have never been so sure of anything in my life. Hong Kong. In a hotel room. Sydney and Irina fight a ferocious battle. It ends when both of them pass through a glass window.

Jack gets back in the chamber. Hong-Kong. Control room.", "VAUGHN: Give me the override codes.", "SARK: I don't have the codes, I swear. (Vaughn shoots Sark in his leg) You shot me!", "VAUGHN: Yeah, and I'll keep shooting until you either give me the codes or bleed to death. Your choice.", "SARK: You know, I didn't want any of this. Mass extermination isn't exactly my passion, Michael. I'm a businessman. You know, I simply wanted to come out on the winning end. I'll give you the codes, but you have to let me go after I do.", "VAUGHN: Codes first, then we negotiate. LOS ANGELES. Control room.

MONGOLIA. In the chamber.", "JACK: I owe you an apology, Arvin. I never gave your faith in Rambaldi the credit it deserved.", "SLOANE: There's no need to apologize, Jack. You're a practical man. I'd always admired that in you. Jack, I didn't wanna shoot you. Sydney forced my hand.", "JACK: Yes. She can be very... stubborn at times.", "SLOANE: You're dying. I can help you.", "JACK: I don't want your help, Arvin. You've...caused my daughter so much pain. I could have prevented it. I won't continue to make that mistake.", "SLOANE: I think you've overestimated your position, Jack. You can't hurt me anymore.", "JACK: True. But I can keep you down here with me. (Jack, show a strapped with explosives around him).", "SLOANE: What are you doing?", "JACK: You beat death, Arvin. But you couldn't beat me.

(To Dixon) Can I get you something to drink? Isabelle arrives in her room.", "SYDNEY: Why do I get the feeling this isn't a purely social call?", "DIXON: Truth be told, I could use some field assistance.

I need someone to intercept the seller and retrieve the hard drive.", "SYDNEY: Can't you put Rachel on it?", "DIXON: She's on deep cover assignment in Santiago. I can't risk pulling her. Besides, this job has...sentimental value. (He shows a file with a photo of Sark).", "VAUGHN: Sark.", "SYDNEY: Don't look at me. You're the one that let him go. Isabelle opens a box.", "DIXON: We've already prepared the mission specs. Low risk insertion, simple areas. Who knows, it could be fun.", "SYDNEY: That's what you say every time you show up on my doorstep. Then next, you know, I'm jumping over canals and tree and shield while Napalm explodes around me.", "DIXON: Yes. That's how I define \"fun\".", "VAUGHN: Why don't we finish this conversation over dinner?", "SYDNEY: And you haven't lived until you've seen our sunset. Isabelle, dad and I are going for a walk. Meanwhile, Isabelle finds the Project Christmas building blocks and effortlessly connects them. She breaks the puzzle and comes back to see her parents.", "SYDNEY: What have you been doing back there?", "ISABELLE: Nothing, mom. Together they walk on the beach.

[ "Poppy and Georgie visit Boston to discover a little American history." ]

[ "Narrator: The Carltons are in Boston, Massachusetts, the birthplace of the American Revolution.", "Boston is known as the most historical city in the United States. So, Poppy and Georgie have come to meet Professor Bob Allison, author and expert in revolutionary history, to find out more about the American patriot and activist, Paul Revere.", "Bob: Revere got news that the British Army in Boston was going to march west to the town of Concord to seize the weapons and ammunition that the Colonists were stockpiling there.", "Georgie: Marvelous.", "Poppy: That makes sense. Yeah.", "Bob: Revere rode on his horse then, bringing this message to the patriots. He would not have said, \"The British are coming,\" because revere was also British. So, if he was British, why was he telling... Why was he sneak... He was being quite sneaky and telling on us. Like a snitch. A little bit of a snitch. He was not a snitch. He was a very alert member of the community. But he was telling on his friends. He was. And that doesn't go down very well in Britain, I have to say. I once told on my friend at boarding school. Really? He had mucky magazines in his dorm room. And no one would talk to me. I was blackballed. Yeah, if you're a dirty snitch you will get punished in England. Well, in this case, the government here was taking away what the Colonists considered to be their rights as Englishmen. We thought we should be able to make our own rules. I try to make my own rules all the time, though, and that... It never works. If I made my own rules, I'd just eat sort of cereal all day. Georgie really likes Sugar Puffs.", "Bob: Really? Sugar Puffs.", "Bob: Well, Sugar Puffs are quite good. You can't eat them all day, they make your wee smell funny. No, that's certainly one of the many drawbacks to eating too many Sugar Puffs. The statue was put here in the 1930s as Americans love Paul Revere. Henry Wadsworth Longfellow in 1860 wrote a poem that became famous here. \"Listen, my children, and you shall hear of the midnight ride of Paul Revere, was the 18th of April in '75...\" Oh, is that the poem? That's the poem, and it concludes with... Our father did a v... Uh, poem, um. Really? At dinner, about a lady from Nantucket. Uh... When we were at school you were allowed... If you were writing poems, you were allowed to do them rhyming when you're young. Yeah. But when you get older and cleverer, you don't rhyme, 'cause it's easy. But how do you tell the difference between poetry and prose if it doesn't rhyme? On the front of the book it will always tell you what it is. Yeah. Now, with... What happened immediately after this? 'cause I know from experience that if my horse has that front leg up, it's about to go to the toilet. Yes. Well, I don't know. The sculptor didn't capture that particular part of it. How long was Paul Revere sat on the horse, Bob? Well, he left at around 10:00 p.m... Yes. ...and it was probably around 2:00 a.m. when he got out to concord. I'm sure they don't talk about this, but if I'm on a horse for any length of time, I get quite a lot of chafing down there. I would imagine, yes. He would have looked like a red cauliflower by 2:00 a.m.", "Bob: So, what have you learned? Lots, but I've forgotten a little bit as well. That happens, yes. Yeah. I didn't know there was going to be a test. I feel like I've learned more about the horse. That's good, that's good. Yeah. Well, it's been a pleasure meeting you, Poppy. Thank you so much. Enjoy the rest of your visit to our country. Thank you. Thank you very much, Bob. Lovely to meet you. Very nice to meet you. The British are leaving.", "(POPPY LAUGHS)", "Good bye. Thank you.", "Georgie: What a lot of information is in that Bob chappy's head!", "He's like a school covered in skin. A book with hair.", "Narrator: Continuing their historical journey, the Carltons are visiting a local branch of the Tea Party Organization to meet Catherine White...", "Hello! Lovely to meet you.", "...an expert in the U.S. constitution.", "Come this way.", "Poppy: Thank you. All right!", "Georgie: Marvelous.", "Georgie is also a guest speaker.", "Georgie: Hello, everyone.", "Man: How do you do?", "Hi, Georgie carlton, lovely to meet you. Oh, we're standing up, standing up.", "(PEOPLE SAYING THE PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE)", "(MOUTHING)", "First up we have Catherine White.", "Catherine, you have the microphone, thank you.", "Catherine: All right. Hello! I am so happy to be back home in Worcester tonight. So, let's start with words that when they were first written were both treason and heresy. \"We hold these truths to be self evident, that all men are created equal.\" So, why was this treason? Well, only the king had rights, and he granted privileges to his inferiors. The only purpose of our constitutional government is to protect our individual rights. If all rights are property rights, then the only purpose of the constitution is to protect.", "(APPLAUSE)", "Thank you, Catherine. Does anybody have any questions? Do you like, um, Barack Obama?", "He espouses and actively pursues an agenda that is seriously treasonous.", "He swore on the Bible to preserve, protect and defend the constitution of the United States from all enemies foreign and domestic.", "(CHEERING)", "So, that's a \"no.\"", "Man: You have let the Communist control the congressional delegation. They're all communists.", "The next speaker is george carlton, uh, from the United Kingdom, here with Poppy.", "Please give him a welcome. Thank you. Thank you. I'd like to talk to you all tonight about some key issues that affect people, Not only in the UK but worldwide, too. On the 18th February, 2005, hunting was banned in the UK, the United Kingdom, aka England. Cricket often acts as a metaphor for many things in the UK, hunting, for example. The Caunty Cup exhibition match was played in the summer of 2003. We had our starting eleven who were, Duffy Scruton, my best friend, Hugo Frogsworth, Sniffy Minting, Archie Froggart, Percy Thomas, Pork Roberts, Hugh Donnington-Smyth, Ken Wang, Herewood Cooper-Jones, Georgie carlton, that's me, hello, and Wally Thomas. ...was cucumber sandwiches, scones with fluffy cream and jams, or jellies, as you might call them. We also had fondant fancies, Victoria sponge, and beef. ...I had to describe what a particular type of cheese was to a chap at a party, who had heard of other types of cheese but not that particular type of cheese. It goes without saying that I avoid talking about cheese as much as I can now. So to summarize, it's not about winning, it's about how long you take, the friends you play with, and the tea you have afterwards. And that's why hunting and the hunting ban is a lot like cricket.

(Flash to Angel and Buffy kissing) Eventually the two of them, - well, they get fleshy with one another. Well, I guess the technical term is perfect happiness. But when our boy gets there, (Flash to dream sequence form Amends) he goes bad again. He kills again. It's ugly. So when he gets his soul back for the second time, he figures hey, he can't be any where near Miss young puppy eyes without endangering them both. So what does he do? He takes off. (Flash to Angel walking away in G2) Goes to LA. (Doyle picks up a knife) To fight evil - and atone for his crimes.

There is no one there. He holsters his gun.", "Officer: \"Okay. Everything's okay now. Look there is nobody in your bedroom, there is nobody in your bathroom. Now if you want to start from the beginning and just tell me..\" One of the hands grabs him by the shoulder and pulls him back. Melissa screams.", "Officer: \"Oh, god.\"", "Cut to Ronald watching the house from outside with a smirk on his face.", "Cut to the upstairs hallway. The officer comes stumbling out into the hallway. Two disembodied hands are choking him. Melissa runs screaming past him down the stairs and out of the house and right into a guy.", "Angel, stopping her: \"It's me. It's me.\"", "Melissa: \"He's... he's in there... His... his hands...\"", "Angel: \"I know, I know what he can do.\"", "Melissa: \"He killed a... Please don't leave me alone ! Please don't leave me !\"", "Angel: \"It's all right. It's all right. (Melissa buries her face against his chest and cries) I'm not going to let him near you. Shh !\" As Melissa continues crying, the camera pans over to show us Ronald watching them from outside the fence. A hand crawls along the ground and up his leg then reattaches itself to the end of his arm. Ronald takes one last look at Angel holding Melissa then walks away. ***** Cut to the front of Melissa's house. ***** A bunch of people is crowing. he officer's dead body is being wheeled out. Doyle is handing Melissa a cup of coffee. She is wrapped into a blanket.", "Doyle: \"Here drink up, love. It's over.\"", "Cut to Angel and Kate walking up.", "Kate: \"She is not making a lot of sense.\"", "Angel: \"She's been living in terror for the last 5 months.\"", "Kate: \"You think it's the doctor.\"", "Angel: \"I know it's the doctor.\" Kate, putting her hands on her hips: \"How could he do it ? I mean, she's got bars on her windows. The security cameras in the hallway show our officers going in and nobody suspicious all day. I mean, who is this guy, Houdini ?\"", "Angel: \"Something like that.\"", "Kate: \"I've pulled prints. If they match his, he's going down.\"", "Officer, from off screen: \"Detective ? Can you sign the coroners release ?\" Kate walks off and Angel walks towards Doyle and Melissa. Doyle sees him coming and meets him half way.", "Angel: \"How's she doing ?\"", "Doyle: \"Numb... Did they get any prints ?\"", "Angel: \"Yeah.\"", "Doyle: \"Good. So we can put him behind bars... for about 90 seconds, until he skitters through 'em. (shakes his head) Not a lot of things that make me shudder, but this guy... crawling around under the covers... At least it was just his hands down there. Wish I hadn't even thought that.\"", "Angel: \"He's coming undone.\"", "Doyle: \"I'll say.\"", "Angel: \"No, I mean he's out of control. He's killing now.\"", "Doyle: \"Anyone that comes between him and his obsession. (Looks over at Melissa) Don't we stand between him and his obsession ? I'm not putting too cowardly a point on it... but if this guy can't be contained and he can't be killed, what are we going to do about it ?\"", "Angel: \"If his body parts go long enough without any blood and oxygen, they're going to deteriorate, he's not gonna be able to put himself back together no matter how much psychic surgery he knows.\"", "Doyle: \"So what are you saying ? Break him down and box him up ?\"", "Angel: \"Of course that's just a theory.\"", "Doyle: \"Hmm. What do we do in the mean time ?\"", "Angel, looking over at Melissa: \"Protect her.\" ***** Cut to Angel's apartment. ***** Doyle is putting a duct tape over a vent.", "Doyle: \"It's not good for the ventilation, but he's not getting in here. (Cordy touches his collar and he jumps) What...\"", "Cordelia: \"I was just trying to fix your collar.\"", "Doyle: \"Yeah, well, what say we just leave it crooked until this thing's resolved.\" They walk into the other room where Angel and Melissa are sitting at a table. Melissa, sipping from a cup of tea: \"I don't see how this can... I mean this can't be happening. What I saw... you must think I'm crazy.\"", "Angel: \"No, I believe you.\"", "Melissa: \"But it's not possible. I mean, he can really...\"", "Angel, noding: \"Yes !... Remember I told you I sometimes handle things the police can't ? (Melissa nods) This is one of those things... I'm going to take care of him. Doyle and Cordelia are going to stay here with you. I want you to try and get some rest.\" Doyle flips the latch closed on the trap door to the sewers and secures it with a bolt. Cordelia offers Melissa a tissue.", "Melissa: \"Thanks, but I'm not going to cry any more. At least I hope not. I'm tired of crying and being afraid.\"", "Angel: \"You don't have to be afraid.\"", "Melissa: \"You're just duct taping me in for fun ?\"", "Angel: \"You've survived a living hell these last few months and you're still standing, while he's coming unhinged at not being able to control you. He's the weak one. You're the strong one.\"", "Cordelia: \"You should listen to him, Melissa. He knows what he's talking about. He's stalked plenty of (Angel and Melissa look at her) books on the subject. (to Angel) Could I see you upstairs for a moment ?\"", "Cut to Cordy and Angel going up in the elevator.", "Cordelia: \"Okay Melissa stays here with us that makes sense, but the part about you taking care of the doctor... This guy is *really* dangerous.\" Angel opens the elevator, walks over to the desk and starts flipping through the yellow pages.", "Cordelia: \"What are you doing ?\"", "Angel: \"Seeing where I can get some steel boxes at this hour of the night.\"", "Cordelia: \"Steel boxes ? Why would you want... Oh. For packing up people parts... You know this job... Don't get me wrong I'm grateful to have it. God knows it's educational, but sometimes... (she jumps as the phone rings) God who's calling at this... (looks down at the phone and sees the line 3 light blinking) It's the special line.\"", "Angel: \"Answer it.\"", "Cordelia: \"Right, right. Okay. Now, who are we again ? Johnson International Holdings ?\"", "Angel: \"Jensen.\"", "Cordelia: \"Jensen. Good, got it. Jensen, now does that sound like an international name ?\"", "Angel: \"Cordelia.\"", "Cordelia, picking up the phone: \"Jensen International Holdings. How may I direct your call ?... Please hold.

What if he comes apart on you ?\"", "Angel: \"If he comes apart on me, he's going to stay that way.\" (Gets up.) ***** Cut to Ronald's office. ***** Ronald is sitting in his office. Angel comes in carrying a steel box.", "Ronald: \"That's a big box. You didn't have to bring it in small bills Mr. Jensen.\" Angel, putting the box on the table: \"Actually I didn't bring...\"", "Ronald: \"Any money at all ? No, I didn't think you would. Though the safety deposit box is a nice touch. I mean your name is not really Jensen. You don't have a wife. What a tangled web, eh ?\" Ronald reaches for something on the desk with his left hand, and while Angel's attention is on his left hand, he lifts his right and shoots Angel right into the neck with a tranquilizer dart.", "Ronald: \"I developed this injector while working with animals. (Angel pulls out the dart and looks at it. It drops from his fingers) They don't like their limbs cut off any more than we do and they can hurt you if you get to close. (Angel is gasping, his eyes wide) You'll feel a slight sinking sensation... that's your heart slowing down as the paralytic takes effect. Eventually it'll stop all together. (Ronald stands up) I just can't get over the audacity... to think that you could take her from me ? (Angel's knees are sagging) I saw you. I saw you holding her. (Angel drops on all fours) Nobody can break the bond between us. Nobody. (Ronald picks up a scalpel from his desk) Clearly even she can't accept that. If tried so hard to show her in so many ways. I've taken care of her... been there for her... even when she didn't know it. (Angel rolls onto his back on the floor. Ronald's voice becomes distorted) If that isn't devotion. And what do I get for my trouble ?... She lies, she cheats. But no more. I won't be made a fool of. She would have made a beautiful bride.\" As Angel finally passes out all together, Ronald leaves the office. ***** Cut to Angel's appartment. ***** Doyle is taping up yet another vent. Doyle, walking over towards the bedroom looking around: \"I got everything, I think.\"", "Cordelia: \"Shh. She's resting. (motions to Melissa sleeping on Angel's bed) What did you put in her tea ?\" Doyle, still looking for holes he might have missed: \"Enough whiskey to drop my Aunt Tudy. That woman had some girth.\"", "Cordelia, sighing: \"What's the point ?\"", "Doyle: \"Well, it tastes good and it relaxes you.\"", "Cordelia: \"No, I mean of ever going out with anyone.\"", "Doyle: \"Well, people need people. And people who need people (takes a step closer to Cordy) are the luckiest..\" Cordelia, putting a hand on his chest and pushing him back: \"Either you like them and they don't like you. Or you can't stand them which just guarantees that they'll keep on hovering around and never go away.\"", "Doyle: \"Uh,... yeah, I just hate guys like that. (steps away with a sigh) I'll just check on...\" (Walks away.)", "Cordelia, folding her arms: \"It's just so unfair. I mean, here is this poor girl. She hooks up with a doctor. That's supposed to be a good thing. I mean you should be able to call home and say: 'Hey, mom, guess what, I've met a doctor ! Not, guess what, I met a psycho and he's stalking me and oh, by the way, his hands and feet come off and he's not even in the circus !\" Camera pans over to a vent. Fingers are poking through the duct tape.", "Doyle: \"Not every relationship leads to disaster.\"", "Cordelia: \"You ever had one ?\"", "Doyle: \"Not me personally. But I've read...\"", "Cut to Melissa sleeping on the bed.", "Cordelia, checking her watch: \"What if Angel doesn't come back ?\" Doyle, still putting more tape over something: \"Ah, he'll be back.\"", "Cordelia: \"What if Dr. Chopped Salad shows up before he does ?\" Doyle, ripping off another piece of tape: \"I have this place sewed up tighter than...\" They hear a rattling noise.", "Cordelia: \"What was that ?\" Doyle gets up and slowly walks over towards the living room. He pulls two weapons free from a brick wall as he passes it and hands one to Cordy.", "Doyle: \"Just the wind.\" The camera pans up to show them slowly advancing into the living room weapons raised as a disembodied eye watches from behind a pipe.", "Doyle: \"So, you want to play some cards - or you want to watch the tube.\"", "Cordelia: \"Sure, how about some... gin ? Penny a point ?\"", "Doyle: \"Yeah, you'll owe me money.\"", "Cordelia: \"We'll see about that.\" The rattling starts again. It's the trap door to the sewers.", "Doyle: \"Cordelia.\" Two fingers come up through a slit and start to work on pushing the bolt aside.", "Cut to another hand opening the door to the apartment. Ronald steps in and the eyeball floats up and back into its socket.", "Cut to Cordy and Doyle watching as the fingers push the bolt to the side. Doyle crouches down next the trap door, hatchet at the ready and flicks the latch back. He opens the trap door and peers into the tunnel below. Ronald puts a hand over Cordy's mouth from behind, slams her into a wall and then out through the door, while the other hand pulls Doyle head first through the trap door, which slams shut behind him. Ronald shuts the door and turns around to look at Melissa who is sitting on the edge of the bed looking at him. She watches as his second hand comes over and melds back into place.", "Ronald, adjusting his tie: \"Hi. Getting some rest ?\"", "Melissa: \"I... What are you ?\"", "Ronald: \"I'm more than meets the eye. But you never bothered to find out, did you ? You just took advantage of my kindness. (Pulls a surgeon's scalpel out of his jacket) Led me on until you could find yourself a vacuous LA pretty boy.\" Melissa tries to run past him and he cuts her off and corners her up against the wall.", "Ronald: \"I'm very disappointed in you, Melissa.\" Melissa, staring at the scalpel in his hand: \"I know... I didn't mean...\"", "Ronald: \"No, no, no. no. Stop now. You're babbling.\"", "Melissa: \"I think... I think you disappoint yourself. I think you gave up on being loved a long time ago and now you're just another creep who gets off on pain.\"", "Ronald: \"Now don't try your little childish...\"", "Melissa: \"I think you know that I would be crazy to want to touch you, to wake up next to little pieces of what ever you are.\"", "Ronald: \"Shut up.\"", "Melissa: \"You turned yourself into a freak, Ronald, a vile, repulsive freak. And I'm done being afraid of you. You can cut me and you can kill me, but it still won't change what you are. (his throat is bulging strangely) Angel was right. You're weak !\"", "Ronald: \"I'm weak ? Then how was it I killed him ?\" The door slides open behind him and he looks around.", "Angel: \"Inefficiently.\"", "Ronald: \"You can't be alive. You... you're not human !\"", "Melissa, backing away from him: \"You should talk.\" Ronald's teeth fly out and bite Angel's arm. Angel smashes them against a wall and Ronald claps his hand over his mouth in pain. As Angel advances on him he slams the scalpel into his shoulder. Melissa screams but it barely slows Angel. Ronald throws his right hand, which grips Angel's throat and slams him back on the floor. Ronald turns towards Melissa. Angel rips the hand off and throws it away. It comes skittering back towards him and he pulls the scalpel from his shoulder and stabs it with it, pinning it to the floor.", "Ronald, to Melissa: \"We could have been so happy.\" (One of his ears falls off.)", "Angel: \"Ronald.\" As Ronald turns around Angel hits his head with a pipe, sending the head flying across the room.", "Angel, stepping up to Melissa: \"Are you all right ?\" She just gasps and he holds her carefully. ***** Cut to Angel's office, the next day. *****", "Cordelia, making coffee: \"Oh, goody, recycled coffee, my personal favorite.\" She adds some fresh grounds to the ones already in the filter and starts the machine. Angel walks in wearing a dark blue shirt and hands her some papers.", "Cordelia: \"Oh. That guy's never going to put himself back together, right ?\"", "Angel: \"He's in 12 steel boxes buried in 20 cubic feet of concrete in the floor of LA's newest subway station.\"", "Doyle: \"That ought to bring in the tourists.\" The door opens and Melissa walks in carrying a potted plant.", "Melissa, smiling: \"Hey.\"", "Angel and Cordy: \"Hi.\"", "Doyle: \"Hi, how's it going ?\"", "Melissa, handing Angel the plant: \"I brought this for you guys.\"", "Angel: \"Oh. I hope it doesn't need light ?\"", "Melissa: \"I'm sure it'll be fine in here.\"", "Cordelia: \"Can I offer you some coffee ?\"", "Melissa: \"Coffee, oh, no. I can only stay a minute. Places to go, people to see. (to Angel) Thanks to you.\" Cordelia and Doyle start coughing.", "Angel: \"Ah... there...\" Melissa, looking wide at them coughing: \"What ?\"", "Angel: \"There is... ah... there is a... bill ?\"", "Melissa: \"Bill who ?\"", "Angel: \"A bill for my services.\"", "Melissa: \"Oh, of course. That's the other reason I came. (pulls out a check and hands holds it out towards Angel) Here.\" Cordelia, darting forward and grabbing it: \"I'll take that, thank you.\"", "Angel: \"I mean,... I didn't do it for money.\"", "Melissa: \"Oh, please you earned it. (reaches and shakes Angel's hand) Well, hope I never see you again.\"", "Angel: \"Me too. Good luck.\" Melissa leaves.", "Doyle: \"Well, that didn't go so badly.\"", "Cordelia: \"See, you can save damsel and make decent money. Is this a great country or what ?!\"", "Doyle: \"Let's march down to the bank and deposit this beauty.\"", "Angel: \"You guys go ahead. I think I'll stay here and not burst into flames.\"", "Doyle: \"Oh, right, you're pretty much the night deposit guy. Still, cause to celebrate.\" Cordelia, patting him on the shoulder: \"You think everything's a cause to celebrate. (Picks up her purse) We could use more of these.\" Doyle, as they are heading out the door: \"And we'll have more of these soon.\"", "Cordelia: \"We need more of these now. Have a vision.\"", "Doyle: \"I can't just perform on demand.\"", "Cordelia: \"We need the clients. Have a vision.\"", "Doyle: \"That money has corrupted you.\"", "Cordelia: \"If I hit you on the head, will you have a vision ?\"", "Doyle: \"Get away from me. You're insane.\"", "Cordelia: \"Am not. Now will you have a vision ?\" Angel walks into his office with a slight smile and sets the plant on his desk." ]

[ "Fed up with her horrible apartment, Cordy packs her bags and moves in with Angel. He's soon overwhelmed by her bossy, destructive presence and tells Doyle to find her a new place to live. Doyle's being chased by loan sharks, so he has problems of his own. Still, he locates the perfect place for Cordy and she happily signs the lease. But, there's still a slight problem... Cordelia's new apartment is haunted. And her ghostly roommate wants Cordy gone." ]

[ "***** Angel's office at night.***** Cordelia is holding up a torn white trash bag.", "Cordy: \"I've had it with these cheap trash bags! They leak and break and end up costing us more !\" She drops bag in front of Doyle who nods at her.", "Doyle: \"I believe it!\"", "Cordy: \"Yeah, It was a great audition! I was all about things leaking. How could they not pick me?\"", "Doyle: \"They don't know what they missed.\" Telephone rings.", "Cordy: \"They gave it to a blonde that showed up in a skintight leather cat suit. She is supposed to be a housewife. (Telephone continues to ring) She looked ridiculous. She looked like cat-woman taking out the cat-trash.\"", "Doyle: \"Are you going to answer the phone?\"", "Angel: \"Good question.\"", "Cordy: \"Oh, yeah, right. (Answering machine kick on) Oh, the machine got it.\"", "Machine in Cordy's voice: \"Angel Investigations. We help the hopeless. If that's you leave a message. (Beep)\"", "Aura, leaving a message: \"Hey, Cordy. It's Aura. Just wanted to check in, you know (Angel looks up and walks away) see how you were doing. Oh, you would not believe what's going on in Sunnydale!\" Cordy just straightens stuff on her desk, makes no move to pick up the phone.", "Doyle: \"You don't want to talk to her?\"", "Cordy: \"No, not just yet. She is just going to ask me where I'm living and how the acting is going, and just not up to leading the parade of pain. I'll do it when things get better.\"", "Doyle: \"Well, I don't know if I can help with the acting, but about the apartment..\"", "Cordy: \"What?\"", "Doyle: \"Well, if you ever want to - I don't know - stay a night away form the place... maybe give me a call.\"", "Cordy: \"Well, stranger things have happened. No wait, they really haven't. (Gets up, picks up her jacket and purse and heads for the door) I'll see you tomorrow. (yells) Bye, Angel, I'm taking off.\"", "Cut to Angel's office. Angel is sitting behind his desk, reading in an old book. Doyle comes in sits down and puts his feet up on the table. Angel stares at his feet then looks at Doyle but doesn't say anything.", "Doyle: \"She's really something, isn't she? It's like wrestling a tiger just to get to know her. (Angel keeps reading) Tell me stuff.\"", "Angel: \"What stuff?\"", "Doyle: \"About Cordelia.\"", "Angel: \"Well, I - I know she can't type or file. Until today I had some hope regarding the phone.\"", "Doyle: \"Who's Aura?\"", "Angel: \"I think... uh... I think she is one of Cordelia's group. People called them the Cordettes. A bunch of girls from wealthy families. They ruled the high school. Decided what was in, who was popular. It was like the soviet secret police if they cared a lot about shoes.\"", "Doyle: \"And she was the richest one of all? Because the way she talks it sounds like she had servants made of solid gold or something.\"", "Angel: \"Pretty much. Until her parents lost it all. Riches to rags.\"", "Doyle: \"One hell of a come down.\"", "Angel: \"Yeah, but she's doing all right.\" ***** Cordy's apartment. ***** Cordelia opens the door to her apartment. The key sticks and when she finally gets it out she scratches up her arm in the process.", "Cordy: \"Ouch! Damn it!\" She turns on the light. It flickers before it finally stays on. Goes to the sink to get a drink of water. The water is a dingy brown and comes shooting out of the faucet, splattering all over her white shirt.", "Cordy: \"Yeah, well, of course.\" She goes to sit down on the couch and turns on the TV. There is a huge cockroach on the screen. Cordy, picking the phone up with a groan and dialing: \"Hello? Hi, this is Cordelia Chase from apartment 4B. (There are now three cockroaches crawling over the TV screen.) I thought you were going to have the exterminator in here today?... Well, if he had don't you think there would be... (putting her foot down and squashing another cockroach, looking down, the carpet is littered with dead bugs) Ah, oh god! Ahh! (slamming the phone down and picking up her address book) Doyle, Doyle,..\" She finds his number and dials. ***** Doyle's apartment. ***** The phone is ringing as he comes in. He hurries in and turns on the light. Dark brown skinned demon with spines along his jaw and along the sides of his hairless head: \"Hello, Doyle.\" *Intro.*", "Doyle: \"I think you have the wrong place.\"", "Demon: \"You owe money.\"", "Doyle: \"It's all about money. What about friendship and family all those things that are priceless, like they say in those credit card commercial? (Demon looking at him) Oh, yeah right. You're a demon of focus. I can see that... I have your money right over here.\" Doyle walks over to a dresser and reaches into the top drawer. The demon slams the drawer shut on his hand.", "Demon: \"You're not stupid enough to have a gun in there,... right?\"", "Doyle: \"Who, me? No way, man! Look!\" Doyle pulls the drawer out and hits the demon on the chin with it then runs out the door. ***** Angel's apartment. ***** Beethoven's 'Ode to joy' is playing on a phonograph and you can hear the shower running. Hard knocking on the door. Angel comes out of the bathroom all wet, wrapping a towel around his waist and goes to answer the door. Cordelia steps in pushing a couple of bags into Angel's hands and walks past him into the apartment.", "Cordy: \"Oh god, Angel! It's so terrible! Oh, my gosh. (Turning around and holding up her hands) Don't even look at me! I am such a mess. I am the lowest of the lowest. (Gesturing towards the open door) and you're going to want to get my other suitcase out there in the hall.\" Angel glances out the open door than back at her, still hunched around the bags in his arms.", "Angel: \"What happened?\"", "Cordy: \"My apartment. It's like the barrio... or the projects or whatever, and I live there! I'm the girl from the projects!\" Angel, almost dropping one of the bags: \"What? I don't know about that.\"", "Cordy: \"Get this. I tried to call Doyle. I have sunk that low. And there was no answer. So, here I am. Not that you're the last resort. It's just that I have nowhere else left to go. (Going to sit down while Angel puts down one of her bags) Roaches. Live one, dead ones. All skinny feet and creepy antlers.\"", "Angel: \"Antlers?\"", "Cordy: \"Oh, my god! I wonder how many stowed away in that bag? (Angel looks down at the bag he is holding.) Also the water is all brown and spurty, and not hot! I am dying for a shower. (Angel puts down the other bag and holds on to his towel with both hands) I... actually smell! Smell me. I never smell. I didn't know I could... I'm just going to have to stay here until I can find a decent place, however long that takes, and when I do you are completely invited over. Hey, you can just dump my stuff on the couch... or let me have the bed. What ever you feel good about. Also, my suitcase is still out in the hall. (Picking up one of her bags) Your shower is in here, right? You have mousse?... Of course you do.\" Cordelia disappears into the bathroom while Angel stands there scratching his head.", "Cut to the next morning. Doyle unlocks the door to the office. As he checks his watch (it's 10 am) we see a dark bruise on his right hand.", "Cut to... Cordelia is sitting at the table wearing a white bathrobe and trying to see her reflection in a metal vase. She is combing her wet hair with her fingers. Doyle, coming out of the elevator: \"Angel, you around?\"", "Cordy: \"Hey, Doyle. (Angel comes walking into the kitchen wearing boxers and a short open bathrobe) You ever get that feeling that you just can't shower enough? Like something's happened and you're never going to get clean?\"", "Doyle, staring at her: \"What?\" Angel, coming up behind him, to Cordy holding up one hand: \"You got peanut butter on the bed.\"", "Cordy: \"Really?

I was on the sofa.\" Doyle, looking over at the sofa: \"Oh. (Angel raises his eyebrows at him) That's okay, I suppose.\" Cordy, walking back in from the bedroom now dressed: \"Angel, at some point in the recent history *you* got peanut butter on your bed, and it's gross. I think you're gonna have to change the sheets.\"", "Angel: \"I don't eat.\"", "Cordy: \"Well then, I don't even want to know how it got there.\" Angel stalks off towards the bedroom. Cordy sits down at the table and begins to brush out her hair.", "Doyle: \"Hey, Cordy, you look great by the way.\"", "Cordy: \"I wouldn't know. The man doesn't even have a mirror. Like it would kill him to not see himself?\"", "Doyle, laughing then asking: \"Listen, I was wondering if anybody called lately? Maybe asking about me or maybe wanting my address?\"", "Cordy: \"Oh, yeah. Yesterday your cousin called, with one of those names from your part of England.\"", "Doyle: \"My part of England?\"", "Cordy: \"Conner or Fergus... did he find you?\"", "Doyle, sighing: \"Yeah, he did, all right. But you see, a little ah... warning might have been nice, give a fella a chance to neat the place up, you know?\"", "Cordy, staring at him: \"Jeez, I just helped the guy as a favor to you. (Doyle just looks at her and she stands up) Maybe next time I won't bother.\"", "Doyle: \"Well, it's not like you even have to pick up the phone. You just let your friend Aura hang there.\"", "Cordy: \"Ok, here's an idea: How about you make me a list of people you're too good to talk to.\"", "Angel, coming back in: \"What going on?\"", "Doyle: \"Nothing, just..\"", "Angel: \"You got a bruise on your hand.\"", "Doyle, looking at it: \"Badminton.\" Angel, picking up a towel from the chair: \"And the reason there is a wet towel on my leather chair?\" Cordelia gives him a big fake smile. Angel drops it back down with a sigh and leaves the room.", "Cut to later. Doyle, seing Cordy cutting up Angel's vinyl floor: \"What are you doing?\"", "Cordy: \"I just... I just wanted to see if he had hardwood floors under there, you know? I... I might be here a while!\" Doyle, looking at some trophies on the mantel behind him: \"Well, the things you learn! I had no idea Angel was Queen of the Winter Ball.\"", "Cordy: \"Those are mine. (Groaning as she keeps working on the floor) Though stuff!\"", "Doyle, looking at Cordy's diploma: \"Hey, you high school diploma is all burned.\"", "Cordy: \"Yeah, it was a rough ceremony.

I never look back.\"", "Cordy: \"Look back at what?\" Angel, coming down the stairs dressed now: \"Doyle,... you down here? Oh, there you are. There's a big guy there to see you. I'll tell him you'll be right up.\"", "Doyle: \"Oh, that's great.\" Angel nods and heads back up the stairs. Doyle runs out the back door.", "Cut to Doyle coming out another door.

Maybe he's over her.\" Cordy pats Doyle on the shoulder: \"You have so much to learn little Irish man.\" Cordy turns and sees Angel take a stake out of his desk drawer testing its tip with his finger.", "Cordy: \"Oh, my God!\" Cordy runs into the office with Doyle right behind: \"Don't do it, Angel!\"", "Doyle: \"Listen to me, man, it's not worth it.\"", "Angel: \"It's not?\"", "Cordy: \"No! You can't let her get to you like this. You'll meet someone else. Just give it some time.\"", "Doyle holds out a hand: \"Why don't you let me have that?\"", "Angel: \"Because I need it to level my desk.

It's because I felt that you're important that I didn't tell you.\"", "Buffy: \"I'm a big girl now, Angel. I'm not in High School anymore. A lot has happened in my life since you left.\"", "Angel: \"I know. I respect that.\"", "Buffy: \"And I don't need you skulking around, trying to protect me.

No thank you.\" They leave.", "Cut to Buffy and Angel fighting the Samurai. Angel slides across the floor, picking up the demon's sword and stabs it in the gut while it is still wrestling with Buffy. Some of its fluorescent green blood runs down the sword onto Angel's hand. The demon jumps back causing Buffy to land on top of Angel, pulls the sword out and jumps out of the window.

I'd like us to be even.'", "Angel walks past her: \"We're keeping score now.\"", "Buffy looking around: \"Are you getting anything? Because I sure smell sewer.

He's blinking his eyes, frowning.", "Buffy: \"Angel? You okay?\"", "Angel: \"I feel weird.'", "Buffy with a sigh: \"I know. I do, too. I mean, I only came to see you so I could tell you face-to-face not to see me - face-to-face anymore, - and I know there is a fly in the logic ointment here somewhere, but.. The next thing I knew we're being attacked by this mutant ninja demon thing, and then we're on the floor on top of each other, and it's just really confusing being around you.\"", "Angel with a slight grimace: \"No, I meant I felt weird from the demons blood.

Demons go there sometimes when they need to get patched up.\"", "Buffy starts to climb: \"Got it.\"", "Angel: \"Be careful.\"", "Cut to Angel walking in the dark tunnels. Two glowing green eyes watch him from behind. Suddenly the demon jumps out and attacks him from behind slicing across the palm of Angel's right hand as he spins around. Angel looks at the blood on his hand then vamps out and attacks. They fight. The demon slices off the head of Angel's battle-ax, and Angel manages to knock the sword out of the demon's hand. The demon pulls his short sword (about the same length as what's left of the ax handle) and they continue fighting. In the end Angel manages to grab the demon's sword hand and turns its hand to stab it in the heart with its own sword. The demon falls back as Angel stares at the glowing green blood that covers his cut right hand. The blood swirls around and sinks into his cut, which closes up in front of his eyes. A light races from his right hand through his whole body as Angel collapses with a strangled cry. Angel comes back up gasping for air while we hear the sound of a heart beating.

My bad.

What happened? - Did you do it with Buffy? (Doyle steps closer to Angel staring at his chest) Watch it, Doyle, don't get too close. - Hey, you walked in the front door - from the street!

Ow, my back. It hurts. Everything's..\"", "Doyle: \"More real, now that you're real?\"", "Angel: \"Yeah. I'm mortal now. I have a mortal body.

Food. (Takes a bite out of something else) This is unbelievable. This is so..

Can you get that?\"", "Cordy: \"It'll go straight to your thighs.\" Angel still trying bites of everything: \"Uhm, chocolate! Oh, (Laughs) chocolate!\"", "Doyle: \"All right, all right, we need to focus here. We need to try and find out..\" Angel talking with his mouth full: \"I love chocolate!

[ "Doyle's own chance for atonement comes sooner than expected when he receives a vision that a band of part human Lister demons are trying to escape from The Scourge, an army of supremacist storm-trooper demons who claim \"pure\" blood and consequently persecute those of \"mixed\" blood. While Doyle goes after a strayed Lister teen and Cordelia handles details of the escape plan, Angel infiltrates the enemy and discovers their secret weapon, a bomb-like device called the Beacon that combusts anyone with any taint of human blood. Events lead to a climactic showdown aboard a tramp freighter, where Doyle finally confesses his half-demon heritage-and his love for her-to Cordelia. Angel attempts to sacrifice himself to destroy the Beacon as it begins to operate, but Doyle, himself a half-breed demon, knocks Angel out, kisses Cordelia, disables the Beacon, and dies from its effects. Angel and Cordelia later sadly watch the video Doyle had been making." ]

Doyle. Doyle! Doyle! NO!\" Doyle jumps over to the beacon just before Angel reaches the platform. He grabs a hold of its metal frame, turns his head and smiles at Angel and Cordy.", "Angel: \"No!\" Doyle morphs back to human and tries to pull the cable connection apart as the light gets brighter and starts to melt the skin off his face. Everybody watches spellbound as Doyle manages to pull the cable apart just before he burns up. The beacon goes dark. All the Lister demons stare at the fading beacon in shock.

[ "Still reeling from Doyle's death just days ago, Angel and Cordelia encounter an old friend from Sunnydale, Buffy's former Watcher, Wesley Wyndam-Pryce, now a demon hunter. Meanwhile, Cordelia discovers that Doyle has passed on his gift of visions from The Powers That Be, which subject her to the same unbearable headaches that afflicted Doyle. When one of Angel's clients, a black-marketeer demon named Barney, learns of Cordelia's new powers, he abducts her and auctions off her \"seer's eyes\" to a group of wealthy demons and humans, including a representative from Wolfram & Hart. Wesley assists Angel in Cordy's rescue and effectively-if unofficially-joins the Angel Investigations team." ]

So what have you got?\"", "Wesley: \"Got?\"", "Cordy: \"You wanted to compare skinnies on the current 'evil happenings'.\"", "Wesley: \"Yes. Skinnies. Precisely. - Uh, right, well... Everything *seems* quiet.\"", "Cordy: \"Okay.

What do you think?\"", "Wesley: \"Quiet all around then. (Cordy looks at the paper and mail he brought in) Well, I'll keep myself available. The situation can only escalate.

And Wesley. Uhm, so, you remember that license plate we got on that runaway case?\"", "Angel pouring himself some coffee: \"I remember *you* were going to follow up on it.\"", "Cordy: \"No go. The BMV is totally stalker-phobic. And wow! You look half-dead.

I've spent the last 48 hours putting together a suspect profile, and believe me, being inside this guy's head hasn't been a whole lot of fun. - The tabloids are calling him 'the pope'.

To the observer he will not seem a monster. His victims put up little or no struggle, so it's likely that he is charming, attractive, (blends into footage of Angel walking down a crowded street at night) but at his core he is a loner. Possibly a dual personality, who once the crime has been committed, retains no memory of the act.

We look for a precipitating event in cases such as this, and a painful breakup is always at the top of the list. (Blend back to Angel. He spots a blonde talking to some friends, her back to him) Prior to failing this relationship may have marked an inactive period in our suspects life. He would have regarded it as a lifeline, his salvation, (The blonde turns and it's not Buffy.

No, Cordelia, the clipping!\"", "Cordy takes it: \"Third body found in alley. So? Not exactly front-page news.\"", "Wesley: \"Actually that is the front-page, but still, note the modus operandi?

Wesley jumps in with a stake in his hand while Angel just walks in.", "Wesley: \"Oh, I invite you in.\"", "Angel: \"Relax. That's only for humans. Breaking and entering another vampire's lair isn't a problem.\"", "Wesley: \"Oh. Right.\"", "Angel looks around: \"He's not here.\"", "Wesley sighs: \"So what then, we wait? Raid the icebox and try to think of the worst possible thing we can imagine?\" Angel picks up some photos of a school bus from the table: \"Stop imagining.\" Wesley comes over, sees the photos, the bus route traced on a map and a Parker Middle School Fall Bus schedule laying on the table.", "Wesley: \"Good Lord. All those school children.\"", "Angel: \"He's finally changing his act.\"", "Cut to the briefing room at the precinct.", "Kate: \"All right, listen up. (Holds up a copy of Angel's drawing of Penn) You've all received one of these in your briefing packets. This is the man that we're looking for. (Holds up two pictures of Angel taking by the security cameras during Sense and Sensitivity). And this man is how we're going to find him. He's the way to our killer. His name is Angel and he's a local private detective. We have reason to believe that our suspect will make an attempt to contact Angel, possibly as his next target.\"", "Detective: \"So we are going to stake out Angel's place? How many men do you want?\"", "Kate: \"Lots. We'll be working in rotating teams...\"", "Penn: \"This is a terrible likeness of me. (Kate stares as he walks into the room) Uh, the mouth, it's all wrong!\" Two detective jump him, as Kate yells \"No!\". Penn throws the two men across the room as if they were puppets. Kate scrambles to get a stake out of her purse while we see just how much faster a vampire's reactions are than those of regular people. Penn sweeps through the room easily taking out two cops on his way towards Kate. Kate's stake drops useless on the floor as he grabs her and leaves the room using her as a shield.", "Cut to Wesley driving Angel's car into the underground garage of the police station. The place is humming with activity.", "Wesley: \"We're in.\" Angel throws aside the blanket he was hiding under.", "Wesley: \"I don't understand. What about the school children? Shouldn't we be...\" A cop slaps his hand on the hood of their car: \"Hold it right there!\" Then waves some police cars on to drive past them. Angel putting aside a yellow blanket: \"He's here.\" Gets out of the car.", "Police scanner: \"Dragnet in progress. Suspect is believed to be in the vicinity of the 12th street station. Secure area. Use caution.\" Angel runs in between the police cars to a sewer cover that's partially open.", "Cut to Penn dragging Kate through the sewer tunnels.", "Kate: \"What are you going to do?\"", "Penn: \"Well, first I thought I'd stop everything and tell you my plan. Or better yet (throws her against a wall) why don't I just show you? (Morphs into his vamp face, saunters up to her, grabs her by the neck and sniffs her cheek) Ah, smell that fear. (Laughs) Makes the blood sweeter. You know who taught me that?\"", "Kate: \"I'm not afraid to die.\"", "Penn: \"Oh, I'm not going to kill you. But when I'm finished, Angel will.\"", "Angel: \"Bus full of school children, Penn? You really thought I was gonna fall for that?\" Kate reaches into her jacket pocket and pulls out a glass bottle as Penn's attention is on Angel.", "Penn: \"Well, you could have.\"", "Angel: \"Nah, - too original.\" Kate splashes some Holy Water into Penn's face. He screams and throws her to the side. The left side of his face is a mass of angry red burns.", "Penn: \"Well, you were right about one thing, Angelus. The last 200 years has been about me sticking it to my father. But I've come to realize something - it's you! (He jumps up and kicks Angel in the stomach) You made me! (Kicks him in the face, then double fists him a couple of times) You taught me! (Angel drops to the floor and Penn jumps on his back) You approved of me in ways my mortal father never did! You are my real father, Angelus.\" Angel gets up, holding Penn up above his head: \"Fine! (Slams him into the ground) You're grounded.\" They fight on (and there are some nifty moves going on) while Kate looks around for a weapon to use. She picks up a broken board, but Penn kicks it out of her hand, then hits her in the face. Before he can do more, Angel pulls him off Kate. They continue fighting, while Kate reclaims her piece of wood. Penn walks up one wall with Angel holding him from behind, flips over Angel's head and lands behind him, holding him in a double nelson.", "Penn: \"You forget your own lessons, old teacher: Never give up the advantage, remember?\" Angel looks at Kate standing in front of them with a long piece of wood in her hands.", "Penn: \"Living among them has made you *weak*! (Angel keeps looking at Kate, not even trying to break free) It sickens me to think that there was a time where you would have done whatever was necessary.\" We get a close up of Angel's face, a close up of the tip of the piece of wood, panning up to Kate's face, close up of Angel's eyes, close on Kate's face, back on Angel's eyes. Then we see Kate ram the piece of wood through Angel's stomach and up into Penn's heart. Angel gasps in pain while Penn turns to dust. Angel gasping and staring at the half of the board still sticking out of his stomach: \"You missed.\"", "Kate wide eyed: \"No I didn't.\" She grabs the board and pulls it back out and Angel collapses cradling his stomach and gasping from the pain. Kate sinks down to the floor a few feet away from him.", "Cut to Angel sitting on the roof of their building looking out over the lights of the city. Cordy walks up to him wearing a wool poncho and leans on the embrasure next to him.", "Cordy: \"If your wondering why this vein on my temple is doing the cha-cha, it's because I just had one of those bone-crunching, mind-splitting vision headaches. (Angel looks at her then back away. Cordy hands him a piece of paper) New job.\"", "Angel takes it: \"I was just thinking about how much this place is like where I grew up.\" Cordy looks out on the city: \"Right. - Yeah. I could see that, except for the cars, and the buildings and the, you know, everything else.\"", "Angel: \"It's not so different. People moving through their lives. I wonder if anything ever really changes.\"", "Cordy: \"Sure it does. - They do. (Looks over at him) You have. - They were just dreams, Angel. They weren't even your dreams. They didn't mean anything.\"", "Angel: \"But I enjoyed it.\"", "Cordy: \"It'd probably be okay if you never mentioned that part ever again.\"", "Angel: \"It's still in me, Cordelia.\"", "Cordy: \"Sure it's in you. We all have *something*. But it's not the only thing that's in you. You're not him, Angel. Not anymore. The name I got in my vision, the message didn't come for Angelus, it came for you. Angel. And you have to trust that whoever that The Powers That Be be, - are, - is.. anyway, - they know the difference.\"", "Angel: \"Yeah.\"", "Cordy: \"People really *do* change.\"", "Angel: \"Yes they do. (Gets off the embrasure and stands next to Cordy) And sometimes they change back. - If the day ever comes that I...\"", "Cordy: \"Oh, I'll kill you dead!\"", "Angel blinks: \"Thanks.\"", "Cordy turns to go: \"What are friends for?\" Angel follows her a half-smile on his face." ]
