SYDNEY, TIME'S UP.

OKAY.

THEN I'LL JUST...

FINISH MY LITTLE ESSAY.

THANK YOU.



SO, I'M PRETTY SURE
I GOT A "D."

YOU DIDN'T GET A "D."

I THINK I GOT A "D." I THINK
I GOT, LIKE, A 64, MAYBE.

WELL, SYD,
YOU'VE NEVER GOTTEN A "D."

I'VE GOTTEN A "D."

WHEN HAVE YOU GOTTEN --
HIGH SCHOOL.
HOME EC.

OH, YEAH,
WHAT DID YOU DO...

EMBROIDER SOMETHING
ON A T-SHIRT?

SWEATSHIRT.
THAT WAS THE ASSIGNMENT.

IT WAS OBSCENE, RIGHT,
ABOUT THE TEACHER?

THAT GUY WAS A SEXIST PIG.

I DESERVED A SCHOLARSHIP
FOR THAT.

WAIT, WAIT, HOLD ON A SEC --

THIS TIME,
I DESERVE A "D."



I DIDN'T PREPARE.
I DIDN'T HAVE ENOUGH TIME.

WELL, WE'VE HAD
THIS CONVERSATION.

QUIT THE BANK IF THE PART-TIME
THING ISN'T WORKING --

WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

I CAN'T GO THROUGH
DOUBLE-SHIFT AGAIN

HOLDING ON TO THIS.

DID YOU GET
THE DAVE MATTHEWS TICKETS?

WILL YOU STAND UP,
PLEASE?

I WANTED TO WAIT,

OR MAYBE DO IT
AT THE WEEKEND,

BUT I COULDN'T.

WHAT'S GOING ON?

REMEMBER OUR FIRST DATE?

THE BOWLING ALLEY...

THE LOUD GUY.

OH, GOD...

♪ BUILD ME UP ♪

♪ BUTTERCUP, BABY ♪

♪ THEN YOU BRING ME DOWN ♪

♪ AND MESS ME AROUND,
AND THEN, WORST OF ALL ♪

♪ YOU NEVER CALL, BABY,
WHEN YOU SAY YOU WILL ♪

♪ BUT I LOVE YOU STILL,
I NEED YOU ♪

♪ MORE THAN ANYONE, DARLING ♪

♪ I KNOW THAT I'M YOURS
FROM THE START ♪

♪ BUILD ME UP, BUTTERCUP,
DON'T BREAK MY HEART ♪

SHUT UP!

SYDNEY, I CAN'T TELL YOU
HOW MUCH

I HOPE YOU'LL MARRY ME.

DESPITE WHAT I JUST DID.

[ BELL PEALING ]

YES.

YES.

I LOVE YOU.

OH, FRAN.

I KNOW, I CRY AT EVERY
DAMN THING. HOLD ON.

OH, LET ME SEE IT AGAIN.
OH, HONEY, IT'S BEAUTIFUL.

I KNOW.

I'M GETTING MARRIED.

YOU'RE GETTING MARRIED.

SO, DID YOU TELL WILL YET?

MEETING HIM AT THE TRACK
AFTER THE BANK

IF YOU WANT TO COME.

NO, THANKS.

I GOT 300 ORTHOPEDIC
SURGEONS TO FEED,

AND NO DESIRE TO EXERCISE.

WHAT ABOUT YOUR DAD?

I HAVEN'T TOLD HIM YET.

I DON'T WANT HIM
TO RUIN THIS.

NOT THIS, YOU KNOW?

WELL, YEAH.
I THINK YOU'RE RIGHT.

I THINK IF YOU CALL HIM,

HE'S JUST GOING TO FIND SOME WAY
TO LET YOU DOWN.

YEAH, I KNOW.

YOUR MOM
WOULD BE SO HAPPY FOR YOU,

YOU KNOW THAT?

SHE WOULD.

MAYBE I SHOULD CALL MY DAD.
I MEAN, HE IS MY DAD.

YOU ARE SCHIZOPHRENIC.

JUST REMIND YOURSELF,
UNLESS YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT

IMPORTING AIRPLANE PARTS,
THAT MAN'S GOT NOTHING TO SAY.

LET HIM FIND OUT
WHEN HE GETS THE INVITATION.

IT'S EXPORTING
AIRPLANE PARTS.

AND HE ALREADY KNOWS.

DANNY CALLED HIM...

TO ASK PERMISSION.

DANNY CALLED YOUR DAD?

YOUR DAD?

MM-HMM.

AND HOW DID THAT GO?

[ TELEPHONE RINGS ]

YEAH.

OH, UM, MR. BRISTOW.

YES.

HI, IT'S, UH, DANNY HECHT.

SYDNEY'S BOYFRIEND.

IS SYDNEY ALL RIGHT?

OH, YEAH, SHE'S FINE.
NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT.

UM, I'M CALLING
BECAUSE I'M PLANNING

ON ASKING SYDNEY
TO MARRY ME,

AND, UH, I WAS HOPING
TO GET YOUR APPROVAL.

DANNY, LET ME ASK YOU
A QUESTION.

SURE.

HOW WELL DO YOU KNOW
MY DAUGHTER?

UM, WE'VE BEEN DATING
FOR TWO YEARS.

BECAUSE IF YOU FEEL THE NEED
TO ASK ME

ABOUT THIS SCENARIO,
I HAVE A SENSE

YOU DON'T KNOW SYDNEY
AT ALL.

SIR, I LOVE YOUR DAUGHTER,
AND I WANT TO MARRY HER.

THAT'S WHY I'M CALLING.

FIRST OF ALL, DANNY,
THE TRUTH IS,

THIS IS JUST
A COURTESY CALL.

LIKE WHEN YOU SAY
TO YOUR NEIGHBOR,

"WE'RE HAVING A LOUD PARTY
ON SATURDAY NIGHT,

IF THAT'S ALL RIGHT
WITH YOU."

WHAT YOU REALLY MEAN IS,
"WE'RE HAVING A LOUD PARTY

ON SATURDAY NIGHT."

MR. BRISTOW --

SYDNEY DOESN'T GIVE A DAMN

WHAT MY OPINION IS.

WHAT INTERESTS ME
IS THAT YOU DO.

IT'S JUST A CUSTOM
TO CALL THE FATHER.

THAT'S ALL THIS IS.

WELL, THEN,
I'LL TELL YOU WHAT.

I MAY BECOME YOUR FATHER-IN-LAW,
AND THAT'S JUST FINE,

BUT I WILL NOT BE USED
AS PART

OF A CHARMING LITTLE ANECDOTE
YOU TELL YOUR FRIENDS

AT COCKTAIL PARTIES
SO THEY CAN SEE

WHAT A QUAINT
OLD-FASHIONED GUY

DANNY REALLY IS.

ARE WE CLEAR?

YES, SIR.

GOOD.

THEN WELCOME TO THE FAMILY.

HEY.

YOU'RE IN LATE.

SORRY.
EXECUTIVE ELEVATOR.

OH, COME ON, MAN.
DROP ME OFF AT 12.

ALL RIGHT. DAMN.

IS ZACHERY FEELING BETTER?

MUCH, YEAH.

THANKS.

[ DING ]

SEE YA.

[ MAN CHATTERS ]

[ SPEAKING HEBREW ]

GOD, I HATE THIS.

I WAS JUST SAYING, IF ONLY
RAMADAN ABADALLAH SHALLAH

WERE STILL TEACHING
IN TAMPA.

NO, NOT MY CASEWORK.

THESE NEW HEADSETS
KEEP PINCHING MY EAR.

OH, GIVE IT TO ME.
ANY WORD FROM DECLAN?

NOT SINCE TEHRAN. I KEEP
TELLING MYSELF HE'S JUST FINE.

YOU KNOW
HE'S DONE THIS BEFORE,

DISAPPEARED FOR DAYS LIKE THIS.
WHAT'S GOING ON WITH YOU?

NOTHING. WHAT?

YOU'RE LIKE --
YOU'VE GOT, LIKE, A GLOW.

I DON'T HAVE A GLOW.

YEAH. LOOK AT THAT.

HERE. COME ON, SLOANE'S WAITING.
THERE'S NO GLOW.

IS SHE GLOWING?

BIG TIME.

DID YOU HEAR THAT?

YES...BETTER.

GOOD.

OSKAR MULLER
WAS KILLED LAST MONTH.

HE WAS RIDING A MOPED
THROUGH BERLIN

AND WAS HIT BY AN AMBULANCE,
OF ALL THINGS.

WE HAVE KEPT OUR EYE
ON THIS GUY FOR QUITE SOME TIME.

HE FANCIED HIMSELF
A SORT OF MODERN-DAY ALCHEMIST.

HIS I.Q. WAS RECORDED
AS ONE OF THE HIGHEST

ON THE PLANET.

THEN AGAIN,
HE WAS RIDING A MOPED.

BETWEEN
THE MULTINATIONALS,

THERE WAS A FRENZY TO RECOVER
MULLER'S NOTEBOOKS

AND EXPERIMENTS,
BUT NONE WERE FOUND.

AT LEAST NOT BY THE WEST.

CULTURAL AFFAIRS BUILDING,
TAIPEI,

HSINCHENG NORTH ROAD,
SECTION TWO.

THIS BUILDING
IS ALSO AN FTL COVER STATION.

WE RECEIVED WORD TWO WEEKS AGO
THAT ONE

OF MULLER'S PLANS
SURFACED HERE.

WHO'S THE MOLE?

ANTONIO QUINTERO.

THIS IS HIS LAST
TRANSMISSION.

UPLINK WAS ON THE 15th.
BRUSH PASS WAS SCHEDULED

FOR TUESDAY.
QUINTERO DID NOT SHOW.

WHAT IS THAT -- HIERATIC?

GOOD TRY.
THAT'S WHAT I THOUGHT.

ACTUALLY, IT'S DEMOTIC. TAKING
NOTES IN ANCIENT LANGUAGES

WAS JUST ONE OF MULLER'S QUIRKS.
APPARENTLY, HE HAD A FEW.

SO QUINTERO'S BEEN BURNED?

WE DON'T KNOW.

THE CULTURAL AMBASSADOR
IS THROWING A RECEPTION

AT THE BUILDING'S ANNEX
NEXT TUESDAY.

THEY'RE FLYING TO TAIWAN
ON MONDAY.

YOU'RE EMPLOYED
BY MODIRA PLASTICS.

"LOOKING FOR A NEW
MANUFACTURING PLANT."

BASED ON QUINTERO'S NOTES,

YOU'LL CASE
THE BUILDING'S EAST WING --

MEASUREMENTS, LOCK SPECS,
I/O -- THE WHOLE NINE.

LOCATE THE LAB WHERE
THE PLANS ARE BEING HELD

AND COME HOME.

THAT'S ALL. NO RETRIEVAL.
WE CAN'T RISK IT. THAT'S ALL.

OKAY, MARSHALL, YOU GO.

YEAH. THANK YOU.

UM...OKAY.
HOW'S EVERYONE? GOOD?

UH, ALL RIGHT,
THE FIRST THING

I HAVE HERE IS A...

WELL, IT LOOKS
LIKE A LIGHTER, RIGHT?

IT'S SOMETHING THAT
YOU WOULD, YOU KNOW,

LIGHT YOUR CIGARETTE
OR CIGAR OR SOMETHING,

BUT ACTUALLY,
IT'S AN R.F. SCRAMBLER.

IT DISRUPTS ANY VIDEO
FOR A 420-YARD RADIUS,

SO IF I WERE TO HIT
THIS SWITCH RIGHT HERE,

THE WHOLE BLOCK WOULD,
YOU KNOW,

BE IN A COMPLETE PANIC,
SO...

WHAT THE HELL, RIGHT?

SEE, EVERYONE'S
TOTALLY FREAKING OUT.

IT'S LIKE, WHAT'S GOING ON?
MY COMPUTER ISN'T ON.

THE DVD IS NOT WORK--
AND WE'RE BACK.

NOW I GOT A 20-VOLT CELL
IN HERE, SO...

YOU ONLY GET FOUR MINUTES
A CHARGE, SO, UM...

YOU KNOW, YOU WANT
TO GET IN AND, YOU KNOW...

DO YOUR THING, THEN GET OUT.

UM, UH, FOUR MINUTES
AND TWO SECONDS,

AND YOU'RE F--
SCREWED.

YOU KNOW, UM, OKAY.
UH...THE OTHER THING

I GOT HERE IS THIS --
YOU'RE GOING TO LIKE THIS.

IT'S SOMETHING
I'M REALLY EXCITED ABOUT.

LOOKS LIKE LIPSTICK,
YOU KNOW?

SOMETHING THAT YOU --
BE -- DO FOR YOUR LIPS --

IN A WOMAN'S REFRESH,
OR SOMETHING,

BUT THIS IS THE AMAZING THING.

IT ACTUALLY TAKES PICTURES,

AND IT MEASURES SPACE
IN THREE AXES

FROM ONE VANTAGE POINT.

UM, IT ASSEMBLES IMAGES
BASED ON GPS

AND CREATES
A CENTIMETER-ACCURATE BLUEPRINT

OF ANY BUILDING,
BUT THAT'S NOT --

OH, IT'S GOT A CAMERA
AND A SHORT-PULSE LASER

PLUS A GRID ANALYZER,

AND I GOT IT
TO 42 SNAPS RIGHT NOW,

BUT I-I WANT TO GET IT
TO 47, 'CAUSE...

THAT'S A PRIME NUMBER.

WELL, YOU MIGHT THINK THIS IS
A SIMPLE RECONNAISSANCE OP,

BUT UNTIL WE FIND OUT
WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED

TO QUINTERO, WE NEED TO ASSUME
THAT THE ENEMY IS WAITING,

SO I WANT YOU
TO DO US A FAVOR.

COME BACK.

[ PANTING ]

GOOD RUN.

THANKS.

SO, WHERE WERE YOU
LAST NIGHT?

I CALLED YOU.

OH, YEAH. I DON'T WANT
TO TALK ABOUT IT.

MY SISTER SET ME UP
ON A BLIND DATE.

WAS IT GOOD?

UM...
FOR THE DATE IT WAS, YES.

YOU DIDN'T LIKE HER?

I DIDN'T LIKE HER SO MUCH,

I DON'T LIKE MY SISTER
ANYMORE.

THAT'S THE PROBLEM

HAVING SIBLINGS
LIVE WITH YOU.

THEY TRY TO GET YOU
TO MEET PEOPLE

THAT YOU AREN'T SUPPOSED
TO MEET IN LIFE.

WHY WAS THE DATE SO BAD?

HER FAVORITE MOVIE
OF ALL TIME --

ARE YOU READY FOR THIS?

"PRETTY WOMAN."

SO? I'M SURE THAT'S A LOT
OF PEOPLE'S FAVORITE MOVIE.

YEAH, THAT'S PROBABLY TRUE.
CONGRATULATIONS.

OF ALL TIME?
THAT INCLUDES, LIKE,

WELL, EVERY OTHER MOVIE
EVER MADE.

I MEAN, ALL OF THEM.

OH, HEY, DID YOU SEE
"LAWRENCE OF ARABIA'S"

PLAYING AT THE EGYPTIAN
TONIGHT?

YEAH, I DID.

YOU WANT TO GO?

I'D LOVE TO, BUT, UM...
DANNY'S WORKING LATE, RIGHT?

I'M TAKING HIM DINNER
AT THE HOSPITAL.

WE CAN GO TO A LATE ONE.

COME ON, IT'S ONLY PLAYING
TILL THURSDAY.

WE'RE GETTING MARRIED.

LOOK AT THAT.
YOU'RE WEARING --

YOU'RE WEARING A RING.
I DIDN'T EVEN --

SYD, THAT'S --

CONGRATULATIONS.

THANKS.

DO YOU WANT TO GET
A COUPLE MORE LAPS?

NO, I'M DONE.

OKAY, 'CAUSE I'M GONNA GET
A COUPLE MORE.

OKAY.

I CALLED TODD.

THEY HAVEN'T RENTED
THAT PLACE YET

IF YOU WANT
TO GO LOOK AT IT.

IT'S IMPOSSIBLE, ISN'T IT?

ONE DAY THERE'S GOING TO BE
A BABY IN THERE.

MY PATIENTS
WOULD LOVE THAT --

KNOWING THAT THEIR DOCTOR
STILL CAN'T BELIEVE

WOMEN CAN ACTUALLY
GET PREGNANT.

[ VOLUME INCREASES ]

GET UNDRESSED.

I WORK FOR THE CIA.

SYD...

I'M AN OPERATIONS
OFFICER FOR THE CIA.

AHH!

♪ TROUBLE ♪

♪ LORD, TROUBLE,
SET ME FREE ♪

♪ I HAVE SEEN YOUR FACE ♪

♪ AND IT'S TOO MUCH,
TOO MUCH FOR ME ♪

Sydney: IT WAS DURING THE FALL
OF MY FRESHMAN YEAR.

A MAN APPROACHED ME.

HE TOLD ME
THAT THE U.S. GOVERNMENT

MIGHT BE INTERESTED
IN TALKING TO ME

ABOUT A JOB.

♪ AND THERE'S NOTHING MUCH
LEFT OF ME ♪

WHEN I ASKED, "WHY ME?"

ALL HE TOLD ME
WAS THAT I FIT A PROFILE.

♪ I DON'T WANT NO MORE
OF YOU ♪

♪ SO WON'T YOU BE KIND... ♪

I DIDN'T FEEL LIKE
I BELONGED ANYWHERE,

EVEN AT COLLEGE,

AND I NEEDED THE MONEY
ANYWAY.

SO I MET WITH HIM,

AND THEY OFFERED ME A JOB.

A JOB WITH THE CIA?

NOT EXACTLY. IT'S...

IT'S A COVERT BRANCH.

THIS IS CRAZY.

OKAY, OKAY, SO --
SO COVERT BRANCH.

THEN WHAT?

AFTER THE FIRST MONTH,
I ASKED IF I COULD TEST

FOR AGENT TRAINING.

THE TEST WAS EASY.

THEY SAID I WAS A NATURAL.

MAYBE I WAS,

BECAUSE I ADVANCED
QUICKLY.

IT WAS EXCITING.

THIS ISN'T REAL.

DANNY...

SINCE MY MOTHER DIED,

I'VE ALWAYS HOPED
THAT I'D FIND SOMEONE

TO GIVE MY LIFE MEANING.

THAT PERSON IS YOU.

I JUST MET THE AGENCY
FIRST.

I CAN'T QUIT.

SYD, I LOVE YOU.

BUT THIS?

I'VE JUST GOT TO FIGURE OUT
WHAT I'M THINKING.

YOU CAN'T TELL ANYONE
ABOUT THIS,

ABOUT WHAT I DO.

NO ONE.

I --

DANNY, I'M NOT KIDDING.

I GOT IT.

I NEED --
I NEED TO WALK.

I'LL, UH,
I'LL CALL YOU TONIGHT.

I'VE GOT MY TRIP.

SAN DIEGO?

I'LL CALL YOU
WHEN I GET BACK.

BE CAREFUL.

♪ I DON'T WANT NO FIGHT, AND I
HAVEN'T GOT A LOT OF TIME ♪

YOU KNOW,
SLOANE DOESN'T LIKE IT...

THAT YOU'RE STILL
IN GRAD SCHOOL.

I KNOW.

HE'D RATHER NONE OF US
HAVE A LIFE OUTSIDE.

I'M NOT GIVING IT UP.

YOU ALL RIGHT?

HOW LONG HAVE YOU AND DIANE
BEEN MARRIED?

11 Y--

NO, 12 YEARS. DAMN.

YOU LOVE HER?

OF COURSE I DO.

AND YOU'VE NEVER SAID
A THING?

ABOUT WHAT?

ABOUT WHAT WE DO.

DIANE IS MARRIED
TO AN INVESTMENT ANALYST

WHO LOVES HIS JOB.

I'M PROTECTING HER
FROM THE TRUTH.

AND YOU DON'T --

YOU DON'T FEEL
LIKE YOU'RE LYING TO HER?

IF THERE'S ONE RULE
YOU DON'T BREAK,

THAT'S THE RULE
YOU DON'T BREAK.

IT MUST JUST GET EASIER

THANK YOU. SHE MEANT
TO SAY "THANK YOU."

[ BEEP ]

YOU'RE NOT THERE.
WELL, I KNOW YOU'RE NOT THERE.

YOU'RE NOT THERE
OR IN SAN DIEGO.

[ SPEAKING CHINESE ]

YOU COULD BE ANYWHERE
DOING ANYTHING.

[ SPEAKING CHINESE ]

Danny: WHICH IS, UM,
WHICH IS THE CRUX

OF THE ISSUE.

[ WATCH BEEPS ]

HEY!

[ SPEAKS CHINESE ]

CAN I LIVE LIKE THIS --

NOT KNOWING WHERE OR WHY

OR WHEN?

[ PEOPLE MURMURING ]

AYE.

CAN I LIVE IN THE DARK?

AND THE ANSWER...

THE ONLY ANSWER
I CAME UP WITH,

IT WAS...

WAS YES.

SYD...

I DON'T CARE.

THE WHOLE WORLD'S
A NIGHTMARE ANYWAY.

IT'S ALL DANGEROUS
NO MATTER WHAT WE DO.

I COULDN'T LIVE WITH MYSELF

SAYING GOODBYE TO YOU
BECAUSE OF RISK.

IT'S ALL A RISK.

I...

HEY, NOW,
BUT THE KIDS THING --

THAT WE HAVE TO TALK ABOUT,

BECAUSE I WANT KIDS.

I LOVE KIDS.

BUT, SEE, MAYBE THERE IS
A WAY OUT,

BECAUSE PEOPLE AREN'T
SPIES FOREVER.

AT SOME TIME, PEOPLE HAVE
TO BE ABLE TO SAY

THAT THEY USED TO BE SPIES.

I MISS YOU, SYD.

COME -- COME HOME.

[ TELEPHONE RINGS ]

YEAH?

WHO?

WHAT ELSE?

YEAH, WELL, GET ME THE AUDIO
RIGHT AWAY.

YEAH.

[ BEEP ]

[ SPEAKS CHINESE ]

[ SPEAKS CHINESE ]

[ SPEAKS CHINESE ]

I'M SO LOST.

OH, MY GOD.

I WAS LOOKING
FOR THE BATHROOM.

YOU KNOW, THERE REALLY
SHOULD BE SIGNS IN ENGLISH.

I DON'T KNOW IF YOU'RE
IN CHARGE OF THAT, BUT --

THIS AREA'S RESTRICTED.

PLEASE, I WAS JUST GOING
TO THE BATHROOM.

LOOK, YOU DON'T KNOW
MY BOSS RON,

BUT IF HE FOUND OUT
THAT I HAD BEEN DRINKING

AND THAT I HAD GOTTEN
IN TROUBLE,

I SWEAR TO YOU,
I WILL LOSE MY JOB.

I SWEAR IT.

RESTROOM IS THIS WAY.

THANK YOU.
BLESS YOUR HEART.

I LIKE YOUR TIE.

WE HAVE A BREACH.

IT APPEARS THAT DANIEL HECHT
HAS BECOME AWARE

OF SYDNEY'S AFFILIATION
WITH THE AGENCY.

YOU UNDERSTAND
WHAT THAT MEANS.

YES, I UNDERSTAND.

I APPRECIATE YOU
TELLING ME YOURSELF.

I'M SORRY, JACK.

DON'T BE.

YOU KNOW ME WELL ENOUGH.

YOU KNOW WHERE
MY LOYALTY LIES.

MR. GONZALEZ.

MR. DIXON.
WHERE'S BRISTOW?

LOOKING FOR THIS?

LOOKING FOR HER.
WHERE IS SHE?

SHE LEFT ME AT THE GATE.

LEFT YOU AT THE GATE?

SAID SHE WAS GRABBING
A TAXI.

WHY? WHAT'S THE PROBLEM?

HEY, I'M BACK.
I DIDN'T EVEN GO HOME FIRST.

I TOOK A CAB --

[ WATER DRIPPING ]

AAH!

AAH!

AAH!

[ TIRES SCREECH ]

[ TIRES SCREECH ]

[ SOBBING ]

WHAT DID YOU DO?

I MIGHT ASK YOU
THE SAME QUESTION.

SECURITY SECTION
BECAME AWARE OF THE BREACH

AND PERFORMED THEIR FUNCTION.

YOU'RE FAMILIAR WITH THE CODES
OF CONDUCT, AGENT BRISTOW.

YOU KNEW THOSE CODES
APPLIED TO YOU

EVEN AS YOU PUT AT RISK
THE LIVES

OF EVERY MAN AND WOMAN
WORKING AT THIS AGENCY.

[ SOBBING ]

DANNY WASN'T A RISK.

HE WAS --

HE WAS JUST A MAN.
HE WAS --

HE WAS A DOCTOR.
HE WAS JUST --

YOU LISTEN TO ME.

INFORMATION ABOUT THIS AGENCY
MUST BE TREATED LIKE A VIRUS.

THERE IS ONLY ONE RESPONSE
TO A VIRUS,

AND THAT RESPONSE
IS CONTAINMENT.

YOU PUT US INTO
A COMPROMISED SITUATION,

AND I EVEN THOUGH I DESPISE
THAT COUNTERMEASURE,

WE HAD --

STOP SAYING "WE."

STOP TALKING ABOUT
THE AGENCY.

YOU KILLED THE MAN I LOVE.

NO, AGENT BRISTOW.

YOU DID.

LET ME OUT.

SYDNEY, I CAN'T IMAGINE
HOW DIFFICULT THIS IS FOR YOU.

LET ME OUT.

HOWEVER,
BEFORE YOU GO ANYWHERE,

McCULLOUGH NEEDS TO SEE YOU.

SEE,

YOU'RE A RISK NOW, TOO.

ARE YOU AN OPERATIVE
OF SD-6?

YES.

HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN
AN OPERATIVE OF SD-6?

SEVEN YEARS.

WHAT IS YOUR IDENTIFICATION
AND CLASSIFICATION NUMBER

WITH SD-6?

MY IDENTIFICATION
AND CLASSIFICATION NUMBER...

HAVE YOU EVER BEEN
SO ENTERTAINED

BY THE CLEVERNESS
OF A CROOK

THAT YOU HOPED
HE'D GET AWAY WITH IT?
NO.

DID YOU REVEAL
INFORMATION REGARDING SD-6

TO DANIEL HECHT?

DO YOU EVER LIE?

WHAT IS YOUR RELATION
TO DANIEL HECHT?

...THE COVERT BRANCH
OF THE CIA.

DO YOU BELIEVE
THAT IF A PERSON

IS ARRESTED FOR STEALING

AND SEVERAL OTHERS
HAVE HELPED HIM,

HE SHOULD REVEAL
HIS HELPERS?

YES.

WOW.

WOW, WOW, WOW.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU
PUT IN THAT STUFF.

WOW.

WHEW.

I'D RATHER NOT MAKE THIS
TOO PAINFUL.

ME TOO. THANKS.

GLAD WE'RE ON
THE SAME PAGE.

THAT'S GOOD.

WHOA.

WHO...ARE YOU...
WORKING FOR?

I'LL NOT ASK YOU AGAIN.

OKAY.

GET A PEN.

WRITE THIS DOWN.

E...M...

E...

T...I...

B.

YOU GOT THAT?

YES.

OKAY, NOW REVERSE IT.

I'VE GOT BAD NEWS
FOR YOU, MAN.

I AM YOUR WORST ENEMY.

I'VE GOT NOTHING
TO LOSE.

THAT'S NOT EXACTLY TRUE.

YOU HAVE TEETH.

[ LEVER GRINDING ]

THESE QUESTIONS RESONATE
EVEN LOUDER

WHEN WE LOSE SOMEBODY

TO A SENSELESS ACT OF VIOLENCE.

BUT WE HEAR THEM

ECHOING IN OUR MINDS.

WHY?

SYD, I'M GOING TO
SAY GOODBYE.

THANK YOU.

CALL ME
IF YOU NEED ANYTHING.

OKAY, YOU READY?
GIVE ME THAT ONE.

HEY, MUNCHKIN.
I'M GOING.

ARE YOU? OKAY.

TAKE CARE.

HEY, THIS IS SYDNEY.

AND THIS IS DANNY.
I DON'T LIVE HERE.

LEAVE ME A MESSAGE
AND I'LL CALL YOU BACK.

THANK YOU. SHE MEANT
TO SAY "THANK YOU."

[ BEEP ]

HEY, THIS IS SYDNEY.

LEAVE ME A MESSAGE.

THIS ISN'T A NEW THEME
IN LITERATURE,

BUT IT SEEMS TO BE
ONE OF THE FAVORITES.

FOR INSTANCE,

WHAT DOES TENNYSON CONTRIBUTE
TO THIS SUBJECT?

ALTHOUGH HIS WORK IS MILDLY
OUT OF FASHION AT THIS TIME,

I WOULD LIKE YOU
TO CONSIDER

HIS EXPLORATION OF THIS THEME.

IT SEEMS THAT, UH...

IT SEEMS TO BE...

NO, THANKS.

I'M JUST GOING
TO THE LIBRARY.

HOW'VE YOU BEEN?

OKAY. YOU?

THANKS FOR THE FLOWERS.

THAT WAS NICE.

LOOK, SLOANE'S GETTING
IMPATIENT.

THEY GAVE YOU A MONTH OFF.
IT'S BEEN THREE.

I'VE TALKED TO SLOANE.

YEAH, APPARENTLY NOT
TO HIS SATISFACTION.

I KNOW THEY SENT YOU HERE
TO BRING ME BACK.

I'M SORRY.

I JUST CAN'T YET.

THEY GOT WORD FTL's FINISHED

THEY DON'T NEED ME

THEY SAY THEY DO.

ME TOO.

HANG ON.

DAD, WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

[ CAR ALARM WAILING ]

THERE MIGHT BE OTHERS.

PUT YOUR SEATBELT ON.

YOU'RE GOING
TO HAVE TO ACCEPT

THAT THERE ARE MANY THINGS
YOU WON'T UNDERSTAND TONIGHT.

THE ONE THING
YOU MUST UNDERSTAND

IS THAT THE AGENCY
DOESN'T TRUST YOU ANYMORE,

AND THEY'RE GOING TO KILL YOU
UNLESS YOU DO AS I SAY.

I WORK FOR SD-6,
JUST LIKE YOU --

UNDERCOVER
AT JENNINGS AEROSPACE.

YOU LEAVE TONIGHT.

I'VE ARRANGED
A FLIGHT TO FRANCE

WITH A CONNECTION
TO SWITZERLAND.

YOU'LL BE RED-FLAGGED
AT CUSTOMS,

SO I'VE GIVEN YOU
NEW PAPERS.

I THOUGHT YOU SOLD
AIRPLANE PARTS.

I DON'T SELL AIRPLANE PARTS.
I NEVER SOLD AIRPLANE PARTS.

THAT CAR IS TAKING YOU
TO THE AIRPORT.

I HAVE TO GET BACK
IF THEY'RE NOT GONNA KNOW.

WHO ARE YOU?

SYDNEY, GET IN THAT CAR.

THEY'RE ONLY WAITING
TWO MINUTES,

THEN THEY LEAVE
WITH OR WITHOUT YOU.

THERE IS NO TIME FOR YOU
NOT TO TRUST ME.

YOU DON'T KNOW
WHO YOU'RE DEALING WITH.

WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?

WHO THE HELL
AM I DEALING WITH?

ABOUT A DECADE AGO,

A POOL OF AGENTS
WENT FREELANCE.

RUSSIAN, LIBYAN,
CHINESE, ETHIOPIAN --

THE ALLIANCE OF TWELVE.
WHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT THEM?

THEY'RE AN ENEMY
OF THE UNITED STATES.

THEY'RE MERCENARIES.
THEY'RE DANGEROUS.

I'M ONE OF THEM.

SD-6 IS NOT A BLACK OPS
DIVISION OF THE CIA.

SD-6 IS A BRANCH
OF THE ALLIANCE.

YOU WORK FOR THE VERY ENEMY
YOU THOUGHT YOU WERE FIGHTING.

THAT'S IMPOSSIBLE.

THEN TELL ME WHY YOU'VE
NEVER BEEN TO LANGLEY.

YOU'VE BEEN LIED TO.

ALL LOWER-LEVEL AGENTS
HAVE BEEN LIED TO.

I AM TRYING
TO HELP YOU HERE.

SO YOU'RE SAYING
I'M WORKING FOR THE ENEMY,

AND THAT YOU ARE THE ENEMY.

SYDNEY, THIS IS
YOUR LAST CHANCE.

YOU HAVE TO GO.

WHO ARE YOU TO COME TO ME
AND ACT LIKE A FATHER?

IF YOU WANT TO HELP ME,

STAY AWAY FROM ME.

OKAY.

LET'S TRY ONE MORE TIME.

WHO DO YOU WORK FOR?

[ GRUNTS ]

I JUST WANTED TO SAY...

START WITH THE TEETH
IN THE BACK, IF YOU DON'T MIND.

[ SCREAMING ]

WAIT, WAIT, WAIT, WAIT.

WELL, THE NEWSPAPER'S
DOING YOU A FAVOR. YEAH.

I'M DOING A PANTRY RUN.
YOU WANT ANYTHING?

NO. NO, THANKS.
IS LITVACK IN HER OFFICE?

DOES SHE EVEN WORK HERE
ANYMORE?

"MEET ME ON THE ROOF"?

IT WAS PERFECT, THOUGH.

SOME GUY JUST TOTALLY
HUNG UP ON ME.

SO I GOT LIKE AN HOUR TO KILL.
YOU WANT TO GET SOME LUNCH?

WHAT HAPPENED
TO YOUR FACE?

I NEED YOUR HELP.

SYD, ARE YOU OKAY?

YEAH, I CAN'T EVEN EXPLAIN IT,
SO DON'T ASK.

YOU JUST GOT TO TRUST ME.

OF COURSE.

I NEED TO BORROW ONE
OF YOUR SISTER'S CREDIT CARDS

WITH AT LEAST A $3,000 LIMIT.

I'LL PAY HER BACK.
CAN YOU GET IT?

SYD, WHAT IS THIS?
YOU OWE SOMEBODY SOME MONEY?

THERE'S SOMETHING ELSE.

DO YOU KNOW WHERE AMY
KEEPS HER PASSPORT?

OKAY, HOW MANY BAGS ARE YOU
CHECKING THROUGH TO TAIPEI?

JUST THIS ONE.

WHAT LIPSTICK DO YOU USE?
I LOVE IT.

ALLEX JANE LUX,
CONCORD GRAPE.

I LOVE IT.
TOTALLY POPS.

THANKS. MAY I SEE
YOUR PASSPORT?

YOU EVER TRY THIS ONE?

IT'S TOO LIGHT FOR ME.
WHAT DO YOU THINK?

IT'S PRETTY ON YOU.

THANKS.

THE PILL I GAVE YOU
HELPS THE PAIN.

I COULD TELL,

BECAUSE YOU STOPPED
SCREAMING SO LOUDLY.

THAT MEDICATION, HOWEVER,

ONLY LASTS FOR TWO HOURS.

AND IT'S BEEN TWO HOURS,
ALMOST.

SO...

YOU HAVE A CHOICE...

WHICH WAY WE GO NEXT.

TELL ME,

AND YOU GET ONE MORE.

[ WHISPERS ]

LOUDER.

I CAN'T.

WHO DO YOU WORK FOR,

YOU PRETTY LITTLE GIRL?

NO. NO.

AAH!

YEAH.

WELL, SEND HER IN. NOW.

YEAH, MAKE SURE RAVEL KNOWS.

I'M BACK.

ALL RIGHT.

I'M TAKING THE WEEK OFF.

I'VE GOT MIDTERMS.

MAY I HELP YOU?

I NEED TO SPEAK TO
YOUR DIRECTOR, MR. DEVLIN.

I'M SORRY.
MR. DEVLIN'S NOT AVAILABLE.

MAY I LEAVE A MESSAGE?

TELL HIM
HE HAS A WALK-IN.

ROXANNE, WE HAVE A WALK-IN
FOR MR. DEVLIN.

YES.

COME WITH ME, PLEASE.

OH, I KNOW.
I'LL GET TO IT, I SWEAR.

THANKS.

HERE'S SOME MORE COFFEE
AND SOMETHING TO EAT.

UM, JUST, UH, LET MR. WEISS KNOW
IF YOU NEED ANYTHING ELSE.

A NEW PEN.
THIS ONE'S DYING.

THANKS.

WELL, THIS COULD
BE VERY INTERESTING.

DOES THAT MEAN I'M IN?

NO, NOT YET. THEY'RE REVIEWING
YOUR STATEMENT.

IT'S -- YOU WROTE A LOT.

I KNOW.
I MEAN,
IT'S LIKE TOLSTOY LONG.

DEVLIN SAYS IT COULD
TAKE WEEKS TO VERIFY.

BUT I KNOW WE COULD USE
ANOTHER DOUBLE AGENT

IN SD-6.
SO WE'LL BE IN CONTACT.

I'M GOING TO GET YOU
A RIDE OUT OF HERE,

KEEP YOU CONCEALED.

WHY ARE YOU SHAKING YOUR HEAD?

BECAUSE YOU SAID "ANOTHER."

SO?

SO IF YOU REALLY
HAD ONE ALREADY,

YOU MOST LIKELY
WOULDN'T TELL ME

UNTIL I WAS AUTHENTICATED.

UNLESS I HAD
AN INSTINCT ABOUT YOU.

MY BET IS YOU DON'T --
HAVE ANOTHER DOUBLE.

WE MIGHT.
BUT YOU WANT ME
TO BELIEVE THAT YOU DO

SO THAT ON THE OFF CHANCE

THAT I'M ACTUALLY LOOKING
TO BE A TRIPLE AGENT,

I'LL REPORT BACK THAT
THERE'S AN EXISTING MOLE

TO UPSET THE BALANCE
OF MY AGENCY.

I'M NOT TRYING
TO PLAY YOU.

WE'LL SEE.

I HAVE AN INSTINCT.

YOU NEED A DENTIST.
DO YOU HAVE ONE?

'CAUSE I CAN GET YOU
A NAME.

I'M ALL RIGHT.

I'LL BE RIGHT BACK.

I WANTED TO SAY
I WAS SORRY.

YOU DON'T HAVE TO.

I'M BACK AT WORK.

I GUESS YOU KNOW THAT.

I MEANT SORRY ABOUT DANNY.

THERE WAS NOTHING
I COULD DO.

I'D LIKE TO BE ALONE,
IF YOU DON'T MIND.

I KNOW WHAT IT'S LIKE
TO LOSE SOMEONE THAT YOU --

LISTEN, I DON'T KNOW
WHAT YOU EXPECT.

JUST BECAUSE WE'RE WORKING
ON THE SAME SIDE,

JUST BECAUSE I KNOW
THE TRUTH ABOUT YOU NOW,

THAT DOESN'T CHANGE A THING
BETWEEN US.

I ACCEPT
WHAT I'M DOING NOW

BECAUSE I HAVE TO.

DOESN'T MEAN I HAVE TO
ACCEPT YOU.

I ASKED DEVLIN IF I COULD
COME TELL YOU MYSELF.

THEY VERIFIED YOUR STATEMENT.
YOU'RE IN.

I READ WHAT YOU WROTE.

I APPRECIATE YOUR
NOT NAMING ME.

THAT WAS...KIND.

YOU'RE CIA.

YOU DON'T KNOW HOW DANGEROUS
THIS IS, SYDNEY,

DOING WHAT I DO.

I WISH YOU'D TAKEN ME UP
ON SWITZERLAND.

HOW DO I KNOW

WHAT YOU'RE TELLING ME
IS THE TRUTH?

I GUESS WE'LL JUST HAVE TO
LEARN TO TRUST EACH OTHER.
