Alias (2001–2006): Season 1, Episode 15 - Page 47 - full transcript

MY NAME IS SYDNEY BRISTOW.

SEVEN YEARS AGO I WAS RECRUITED
BY A SECRET BRANCH OF THE CIA

CALLED SD-6.
I WAS SWORN TO SECRECY,

BUT I COULDN'T KEEP IT
FROM MY FIANCé,

AND WHEN THE HEAD OF SD-6
FOUND OUT,

HE HAD HIM KILLED.

THAT'S WHEN I LEARNED
THE TRUTH --

SD-6 IS NOT PART OF THE CIA.

I'D BEEN WORKING
FOR THE VERY PEOPLE

I THOUGHT
I WAS FIGHTING AGAINST.

SO I WENT TO THE ONLY PLACE THAT
COULD HELP ME TAKE THEM DOWN.



NOW I'M A DOUBLE AGENT
FOR THE CIA,

WHERE MY HANDLER
IS A MAN NAMED MICHAEL VAUGHN.

ONLY ONE OTHER PERSON KNOWS
THE TRUTH ABOUT WHAT I DO,

ANOTHER DOUBLE AGENT
INSIDE SD-6 --

SOMEONE I HARDLY KNOW.

MY FATHER.

WE STILL DON'T KNOW
WHO WAS BEHIND

LAST WEEK'S INVASION OF SD-6.

LEARNING THAT INFORMATION
AND GETTING

A VISUAL I.D. OF THE MAN
IS OUR TOP PRIORITY.

THE MEETING
WITH K-DIRECTORATE

IS SCHEDULED
TO TAKE PLACE IN MOSCOW.

YOU'RE SURVEILLING
THIS MEETING

FROM OUTSIDE THE BUILDING.



Dixon: WE'RE ON.

THEY'RE HEADING
TOWARD THE BUILDING NOW.

GENTLEMEN, WELCOME.

I'M MR. SARK,
DIRECTOR OF OPERATIONS.

MY EMPLOYER'S OFFER
IS SIMPLE.

YOU WILL GIVE US
THE RAMBALDI MANUSCRIPT

YOU'VE RECENTLY ACQUIRED
IN ARGENTINA...

SYDNEY, THAT IS
ILYICH IVANKOV,

THE HEAD
OF K-DIRECTORATE.

YOU TELL YOUR EMPLOYER

IF HE EVER WASTES
MY TIME LIKE THIS AGAIN,

OUR NEXT MEETING
WILL NOT BE SO CORDIAL.

HO, HO!

CONGRATULATIONS,
COMRADE KESSAR.

YOU HAVE JUST
INHERITED CONTROL

OF THE INDESTRUCTIBLE
K-DIRECTORATE.

SYDNEY!

[ GUNSHOTS ]

WAIT!

[ COCKS HAMMER ]

[ GUNSHOT ]

THANKS.

ANYTIME.

HEY.

HEY. DO YOU WANT SOME?

NO, THANKS.

I GOT TO GO INTERVIEW
DAVID McNEIL TODAY.

MM?

YEAH.

I BETTER GO.

OOH, I GOTTA GO.

JUST I'M GOING
TO BE LATE.

OKAY.

HEY, SO WHAT ARE YOU
GOING TO WEAR?

I'M JUST GOING TO WEAR THIS.
I THINK, YOU KNOW,

I'M JUST GOING TO A PRISON.
WHO CARES?

NO, NEXT WEEK.

WHAT AM I GOING TO WEAR
NEXT WEEK?
TO THE DINNER.

WHAT DINNER?
YOU DIDN'T GET MY LETTER?

WHAT LETTER?
THE ONE I LEFT
ON YOUR DESK.

WHAT ARE YOU
TALKING ABOUT?

OKAY, YOU KNOW WHAT?

YOU REALLY HAVE TO START
READING THE THINGS

I GIVE TO YOU, WILL.

WHAT'S THIS?

YOU'RE GETTING
THE KAPLAN AWARD

FOR THE LUIS MAROMA
ARTICLE.
WHAT?

YES. THE READERS VOTED IT

ONE OF THE 10 MOST
INSPIRATIONAL STORIES

OF THE YEAR.

I CAN'T BELIEVE ANYONE
READ THAT ARTICLE.

IT SAYS "BLACK TIE,"
WHICH MEANS TUX.

DO YOU HAVE ONE?

WELL, I HAVE AN OLD ONE.

I CAN'T BELIEVE I WON
THE KAPLAN AWARD.

DO YOU WANT TO GO CELEBRATE,
MAYBE FRIDAY?

UM...

OH, I CAN'T. I CAN'T.
I'M S--

I GOT TO DO SOMETHING
ON FRIDAY.

I'M SORRY.

OH.

OKAY.

[ WATER RUNNING ]

YEAH, WELL, THANKS.

YEAH, I JUST WANTED TO --
I JUST WANTED TO TELL YOU.

WILL, THAT IS SO AMAZING.

OH, UH, "NORTH BY NORTHWEST"
IS PLAYING

AT THE FAIRFAX
ON FRIDAY NIGHT.

I THOUGHT MAYBE WE COULD,
I DON'T KNOW,

GET SOME DINNER
AND CELEBRATE IT.

DEFINITELY.
I'M SO PROUD OF YOU.

OH, WELL, IT'S NOT
THAT BIG A DEAL.

OKAY, SO FRIDAY NIGHT.
IT'S A DATE.

IT'S A DATE.

LOMPOC PRISON,
ABOUT TWO HOURS AGO.

THE MAN TALKING TO TIPPIN

IS DAVID McNEIL,
SOFTWARE DESIGNER.

ABOUT EIGHT YEARS AGO,
HE CREATED AN ENCRYPTION SYSTEM

THAT WE WANTED TO ACQUIRE,
BUT HE WOULDN'T SELL.

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.

BUT NOW
HE'S FOUND McNEIL.

WHAT ARE YOU SUGGESTING?

YOU KNOW
WHAT I'M SUGGESTING.

THE DECISION TO ELIMINATE
TIPPIN IS PREMATURE.

HE'S A FRIEND OF SYDNEY'S

WHO, AS FAR AS WE KNOW,
KNOWS NOTHING.

I TOLD YOU THIS FIRST
AS A COURTESY.

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.

JUST THE NAME,
NOTHING ELSE.

A NAME
IS ALL TIPPIN NEEDS.

WHAT CONCERNS ME IS THIS
DOESN'T SEEM TO CONCERN YOU.

THERE'S A DIFFERENCE

BETWEEN CONCERN
AND ASSASSINATION.

WHAT ARE YOU SUGGESTING?

THAT WE GET AUDIO.

THAT WE FIND OUT
WHAT THOSE CONVERSATIONS ARE.

JACK...

WE SHOULD TAKE CARE OF THIS
IMMEDIATELY.

I'M SURE YOU AGREE

THERE ARE SOME TRUTHS
THAT SYDNEY MUST NEVER LEARN.

HOW'S IT GOING?

FINE.

I WENT
TO THE STATIONERY STORE TODAY.

SAME PLACE I GOT
THE WEDDING INVITATIONS.

I HAD TO BUY
SOME THANK YOU CARDS

FOR THESE ENGAGEMENT GIFTS
TO SEND BACK TO PEOPLE.

THE WOMAN IN THE STORE

ASKED IF I WANTED
THE CARD STOCK

TO MATCH THE INVITATIONS.

I BURST INTO TEARS
IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STORE.

FRANCIE?

I DON'T KNOW
HOW TO DO THIS.

I HAVEN'T EVEN BEEN ABLE
TO TAKE THIS OFF.

♪ YOU'RE MAKING ME SMILE ♪

I'M SORRY.

NAH, DON'T BE.

♪ COME BACK ANYTIME ♪

THE TRUTH IS

I SHOULD HAVE TAKEN IT OFF
A LONG TIME AGO.

♪ SAY LA LA LA,
LA LA LA LA ♪

HERE'S AN IDEA.

WHAT?

♪ LA LA LA, LA LA LA ♪

♪ THE DAY MAY BRING ♪

♪ UNEXPECTED THINGS ♪

♪ LOVE A LITTLE WHILE ♪

♪ CRY TILL A SMILE ♪

♪ BREAKS THROUGH
THE CLOUDS ♪

SO WILSHIRE COURT, 7:30,

AND I GOT
MY BALL IN MY CAR, SO --

OH, OH, CALL MITCH.

YOU GOT IT.
COOL.

WELL, WELL,
LOOK WHO IT IS.

ABBY, WHAT IS THIS?

OH, FALSE MODESTY. HIDEOUS.
IT DOESN'T SUIT YOU.

THIS ISN'T FOR THE MOST
INSPIRATIONAL ARTICLE, IS IT?

PRETTY DENSE
FOR THE MAN WHO WROTE

THE MOST
INSPIRATIONAL ARTICLE.

YOU KNOW YOU DON'T DESERVE
TO WIN ANY AWARDS.

I KNOW.
CONGRATULATIONS.

THANK YOU.

YOU MAKE ME SICK, FYI.
I KNOW. I MAKE MYSELF SICK.

10 YEARS I'VE BEEN AT THIS,
AND WHAT DO I WIN?

TICKETS TO "THE LION KING"
ON THE RADIO.

YOU NEVER INVITED ME TO THAT.

OH, IMAGINE THAT.

THANK YOU FOR THE CAKE.

I'M GOING
TO GET US SOME PLATES.

I EXPECT A PIECE, YES.
IT'S CHOCOLATE.

MAYBE YOU CAN WRITE
AN ARTICLE ABOUT THIS CAKE

AND WIN SOMETHING ELSE.

EXCUSE ME.
JUNE LITVAK'S OFFICE?

YEAH, THAT'S
THE NEXT FLOOR UP.

HUGE OFFICE.
THANKS.

[ STATIC ]

Will: OKAY, SERIOUSLY,
IF I DIDN'T HAVE TO GO,

I'D EAT THE WHOLE CAKE.

Woman: WHERE
ARE YOU GOING?

LOMPOC.
I GOT AN INTERVIEW.

YOUR SURVEILLANCE FOOTAGE
OF MOSCOW IS REMARKABLE.

OF COURSE, WE WON'T KNOW
FOR QUITE SOME TIME

THE FULL IMPLICATION
OF IVANKOV'S MURDER,

BUT HERE'S
WHAT WE DO KNOW.

IVANKOV'S BODY
WAS DELIVERED LAST NIGHT

TO K-DIRECTORATE HEADQUARTERS
IN ST. PETERSBURG.

DELIVERED HOW?

COMMERCIAL FREIGHT CARRIER,
PACKED INSIDE A CRATE

OF FROZEN ATLANTIC CODFISH.

LAVRO KESSAR, K-DIRECTORATE
SECOND IN COMMAND --

HE HASN'T BEEN SEEN
SINCE THAT NIGHT.

WE BELIEVE HE'S BEING HELD

BY MR. SARK AS A CAPTIVE.

UNLESS K-DIRECTORATE
DELIVERS RAMBALDI'S MANUSCRIPT

TO SARK'S EMPLOYER, THE MAN,

THEY SHOULD BE EXPECTING MORE
FISH IN ST. PETERSBURG.

HAVE WE LEARNED ANYTHING MORE
ABOUT THE MAN?

WE HAVE TO GET A NAME
FOR THIS GUY ALREADY.

WELL, WE DON'T KNOW ANYTHING
CONCRETE, AT LEAST NOT YET.

WE HAVE LEARNED
SOMETHING ABOUT SARK. MARSHALL?

YES, OKAY.

UM, ACTUALLY,
I'M SURE WE'VE ALL SEEN

THE CLASSIC MOVIE
"MY FAIR LADY."

YOU REMEMBER...

[ In Cockney accent ]
PROFESSOR 'ENRY 'IGGINS

EDUCATIN' ELIZA DOOLITTLE.
"YOU TALK PROPER."

OF COURSE, MY FAVORITE
REX HARRISON FILM

IS "DOCTOR DOLITTLE,"
WHICH ALWAYS KIND OF THREW ME

BECAUSE ELIZA DOOLITTLE,
DR. DOLITTLE,

DOOLITTLE, DOLITTLE, WAS THAT
ON PURPOSE, CONSPIRACY --

MARSHALL.

RIGHT.

UH, WELL, WE'VE ANALYZED
SARK'S SPEECH PATTERN --

LILT, STRESS, RHYTHM,
WHAT HAVE YOU --

AND HE IS VERY CLEVER.

HIS -- HIS GRAMMAR
AND SYNTAX,

THEY GIVE AWAY NOTHING,
BUT HIS LENGTHENED VOWELS

INDICATE THAT HE SPENDS
CONSIDERABLE TIME IN IRELAND,

MOST LIKELY GALWAY.

OUR ASSETS IN TUNIS
SPOTTED A K-DIRECTORATE BOAT

PASSING THROUGH INTO PORT.

IT'S NOW MOORED
OFF ES-SEKHIRA.

TOMORROW AT 10:00 A.M.
LOCAL TIME,

A PLANE IS SCHEDULED TO LEAVE
FROM NEARBY HAFSA AIRPORT

TO FLY TO GALWAY, IRELAND.

SO THEY'RE HANDING OVER

RAMBALDI'S MANUSCRIPT
IN TUNISIA.

THE MISSION IS TO INTERCEPT
THE BOOK AND BRING IT BACK HOME.

REVIEW THE MISSION DETAILS.
GO OVER OP TECH WITH MARSHALL.

YOU'LL LEAVE TONIGHT.

THIS LOOK FAMILIAR?

THE SAME KIND OF CAMERA
I LEFT BEHIND IN ARGENTINA.

IT IS THAT CAMERA.

THE CIA SENT A TEAM
AND RETRIEVED IT LAST WEEK.

YOU ONLY TOOK A FEW SHOTS
OF THE RAMBALDI BOOK.

I KNOW.

BUT WE DID LEARN A LOT
FROM THOSE PICTURES.

LIKE WHAT?

I'VE --

I'VE GOT THIS AUNT.
UM, AUNT TRISH.

SHE'S THE INSANE ONE
IN THE FAMILY.

SHE, UH, SPEAKS TO THE DEAD,
SHE GOES TO READINGS.

SHE'S A CROP CIRCLE
WORSHIPER.

AUNT TRISH.

YEAH. THIS WHOLE
RAMBALDI STORY

REMINDS ME OF SOMETHING
SHE WOULD TELL ME ABOUT.

ANYWAY, WE KNOW THAT RAMBALDI
WAS A 16th CENTURY INVENTOR

WHO SEEMED TO HAVE HAD

AN ALMOST PSYCHIC VISION
OF TECHNOLOGY.

THIS BOOK,
BASED ON THE IMAGES YOU TOOK,

SEEMS TO BE SOME SORT
OF INSTRUCTION MANUAL.

NOW, TO WHAT,
WE DON'T KNOW.

THIS WAS WRITTEN
IN ITALIAN

ON THE SECOND PAGE.

THERE, AT THE BOTTOM,

RAMBALDI REFERS
TO THE 100 SEGMENTS.

MEANING WHAT?

WELL, IT CONTINUES ON A PAGE
WE DON'T HAVE YET.

SO YOUR COUNTERMISSION
IS THE SAME AS IN ARGENTINA.

WHEN YOU GET THE RAMBALDI BOOK,
PHOTOGRAPH THE PAGES

AND DELIVER THE ORIGINALS
TO SD-6 AND THE PHOTOS TO US.

JUST DON'T SCREW IT UP
THIS TIME. GOT IT.

YOUR FATHER'S
BEEN REPORTING

THAT SLOANE SPENT
A LOT OF TIME AT HOME.

YEAH, HIS WIFE EMILY.
SHE'S SICK.

YOU TWO
USED TO BE CLOSE, RIGHT?

WE STILL ARE.

LESS SO
SINCE SHE WAS DIAGNOSED.

SHE'S BEEN
A LITTLE RECLUSIVE.

ACTUALLY,
I HAVEN'T SEEN HER

SINCE BEFORE I LEARNED
THE TRUTH ABOUT HER HUSBAND.

I THINK THIS IS
A REAL OPPORTUNITY.

WE'D LIKE YOU
TO CALL EMILY,

TELL HER
YOU'D LIKE TO SEE HER AGAIN,

AND GET INVITED
TO THEIR HOUSE.

YOU WANT ME
TO PLANT A BUG.

VAUGHN,
SHE'S DYING OF CANCER.

YES, I KNOW.

SO YOU'RE ASKING ME
TO USE THIS WOMAN.

SHE WILL NEVER KNOW.
BUT I WILL.

WE'VE BEEN TRYING TO PLANT
A LISTENING DEVICE IN SD-6.

IT'S POINTLESS.

THAT OFFICE USES EVERY POSSIBLE
COUNTERSURVEILLANCE TECHNIQUE.

SLOANE'S HOUSE
MIGHT BE MORE VULNERABLE.

BUT THIS ISN'T
A LOGISTICAL QUESTION.

THIS IS A MORAL ONE.

A MORAL ONE?
SYDNEY, YOU'RE A SPY.

THIS IS HARDLY THE DARKEST
DECISION YOU'VE HAD TO MAKE.

BUT WHAT YOU'RE NOT HEARING IS
EMILY IS MY FRIEND.

DESPITE HER HUSBAND,
SHE IS MY FRIEND WHO IS DYING.

I MEAN, DOES THIS NOT SEEM
AT ALL WRONG TO YOU?

WHY DOES THIS
SEEM WRONG TO YOU?

BECAUSE SHE'S INNOCENT.
SHE IS A GOOD PERSON.

THEN WHAT SHE DOESN'T KNOW,
WHAT SHE WILL NEVER KNOW,

IS THAT THIS IS ONE
OF THE LAST OPPORTUNITIES

SHE HAS
TO DO SOMETHING GOOD.

EMILY, HI.
IT'S SYDNEY...BRISTOW.

HI. I KNOW.

I KNOW, IT HAS.

ARE YOU BUSY
OR SLEEPING?

GOOD, OKAY.

YEAH, YEAH.
I'M DOING FINE.

HOW ARE YOU?

THAT'S WHY I CALLED.
I JUST --

I MISS YOU.

HAVE YOU HEARD FROM HER --
YOUR DAUGHTER?

NO, NO.

MY LAWYER SAYS
SHE'S SAFE, YOU KNOW.

THAT'S ALL
I REALLY WANT TO KNOW.

ALL RIGHT,
SO WHAT DO YOU GOT?

OKAY.

BASED ON THE FILE
AT O.T. TECHNOLOGIES,

42 COMPANIES CURRENTLY USE
YOUR ENCRYPTION SOFTWARE.

42.

YEAH.

SO FAR I'VE HAD TIME

TO LOOK INTO ABOUT 18
OF THESE COMPANIES.

LISTEN TO THIS.

SIX OF THEM
HAVE A COMMON BOARD MEMBER --

A GUY BY THE NAME
OF ALAIN CHRISTOPHE.

THIS IS THE BEST PART.

12 YEARS AGO,
ALAIN DECIDES TO RETIRE...

FROM THE CIA.

AND BEFORE THAT,

FROM '82 TO '89,

HE RAN COUNTERINTELLIGENCE
AT LANGLEY.

WHY ARE YOU SMILING?

BECAUSE FOR THE FIRST TIME
IN EIGHT YEARS,

SD-6 SHOULD BE AFRAID OF ME.

DO A LEXIS/NEXIS FOR EVERYTHING
ON ALAIN CHRISTOPHE,

AND CALL THE IRS.

SEE IF THE FREEDOM
OF INFORMATION ACT

COVERS ACCESS
TO HIS PRIVATE HOLDINGS.

OH, UH, "NORTH BY NORTHWEST"
TICKETS FRIDAY NIGHT.

CALL, UH, MERCANTILE. SEE IF
YOU CAN GET A RESERVATION.

[ HORN HONKING ]
SON OF A BITCH.

[ TIRES SCREECH ]

[ GUNS COCKING ]

[ Distorted voice ]
RESIST, AND YOU DIE.

GET OUT.

[ TIRES SCREECH ]

[ SPEAKING RUSSIAN ]

OKAY,
SO TELL ME THE TRUTH --

WHO DO YOU LIKE BETTER,
MARY ANN OR GINGER?

LISTEN, WHILE YOU'RE
GRABBING RAMBALDI'S MANUSCRIPT,

IF YOU HAPPEN
TO SEE A SANDWICH...

YOU GOT IT.

OKAY. I'LL RADIO
IF SARK ARRIVES.

GOOD LUCK.

[ SPEAKING RUSSIAN ]

GASOLINE?

GASOLINE.

YEAH.

[ SPEAKS RUSSIAN ]

OKAY, DIXON,
THE BOAT'S SECURE.

I'M OPENING THE CASE HERE.
THE GUY'S HANDCUFFED TO IT.

I'M PICKING THE LOCK.

LOOKS LIKE
IT'S ELECTROMAGNETIC.

OKAY.

STILL NO SIGN OF SARK.

[ CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKS ]

[ CLICK ]

Man: YURI?

OKAY, I'VE GOT
THE BOOK.

SYDNEY, SARK'S HERE.

I'M TAKING THE BOAT.

OKAY.

I'LL MEET YOU
AT THE AIRPORT DOCK.

WE'LL BE THERE
IN 30 MINUTES.

OKAY, LOOK, GUYS, I --

[ COUGHS ]

[ GROANING AND PANTING ]

Will: SIX OF THEM
HAVE A COMMON BOARD MEMBER --

A GUY BY THE NAME
OF ALAIN CHRISTOPHE.

THIS IS THE BEST PART.

ABOUT 12 YEARS AGO,
ALAIN DECIDES TO RETIRE...

FROM THE CIA.

[ Distorted voice ] DO YOU
VALUE YOUR LIFE, MR. TIPPIN?

OF COURSE
I VALUE MY LIFE.

DO YOU?

YOUR ACTIONS
WOULD INDICATE OTHERWISE,

SO I'M GOING
TO TELL YOU WHAT IT IS

YOU ARE APPARENTLY
DYING TO KNOW.

YOUR FRIEND DANIEL HECHT,

DAVID McNEIL'S WIFE SUSAN,
ELOISE KURTZ --

THEY WERE ALL
INNOCENT VICTIMS.

THEIR DEATHS WERE UNFORTUNATE,
A MATTER OF CIRCUMSTANCE.

NOW THE ONLY
REMAINING QUESTION

IS WHETHER
THE STORY ENDS THERE

OR WHETHER IT INCLUDES
OTHER INNOCENT VICTIMS.

AMY TIPPIN,
3723 EAST CONESTOGA WAY.

ROBERT AND PATSY TIPPIN,
63064 SHULMAN WAY.

SYDNEY BRISTOW,
4250 COCHRAN STREET.

STOP, STOP, STOP.
I UNDERSTAND.

THIS WILL BE
YOUR ONLY WARNING.

MR. SLOANE.

YES?

I'VE QUESTIONED EVERYONE
FROM THE BOAT.

THE CAPTAIN IS A CIVILIAN.
HE DOESN'T KNOW ANYTHING.

KILL HIM.

YES, SIR.

[ TELEPHONE RINGS ]

HELLO?

SYDNEY, IT'S EMILY.

HI.

LISTEN, I WANTED
TO THANK YOU FOR CALLING.

YOU HAVE NO IDEA
HOW MUCH THAT MEANT.

YOU DON'T HAVE TO
THANK ME.

I DO.

I WOKE UP THIS MORNING
FEELING STRONG,

AND I-I WAS CURIOUS
IF YOU WERE FREE FOR DINNER.

TONIGHT?

BRING A FRIEND. PLEASE?

AND YOU ACCEPTED?

NOT AT FIRST,

BUT EMILY'S SICK.
I COULDN'T SAY NO.

I KNEW YOU WANTED ME TO
ANYWAY.

HERE.

THIS IS A BUG?
IT'S GOOD, HUH?

YOU SHOULD SEE
THE GUYS WHO MAKE IT.

IT'S LIKE
THEY'VE NEVER SEEN SUNLIGHT.

WELL, YOU SHOULD
MEET MARSHALL.

WHERE DO YOU WANT THIS?

SLOANE'S GOT AN OFFICE
IN HIS HOME.

MM-HMM.

THAT'S WHERE WE WANT IT,

ESPECIALLY NOW THAT SD-6
HAS THE RAMBALDI BOOK.

THE CIA'S BEEN STUDYING
THOSE PHOTOS YOU TOOK.

THEN THEY TURNED OUT
ALL RIGHT.

THERE'S ONE BLANK PAGE.

WELL, CIA SCI-TECH SAYS

THAT OF THE FEW RAMBALDI
DOCUMENTS THEY'VE RECOVERED,

THE 47th PAGE IS ALWAYS
PARTICULARLY SIGNIFICANT.

THIS BLANK PAGE
WAS NUMBER 47.

YOUR FATHER'S STRATEGIZING
ON HOW TO GET IT

OUT OF SD-6 ANALYSIS,
REPLACE IT WITH A COUNTERFEIT,

BUT IN THE MEANTIME,

WE'RE JUST HOPING TO LEARN
SOMETHING WITH THAT BUG.

OKAY.

YOU SAID EMILY
INVITED YOU AND A FRIEND?

MM-HMM.

YOU TAKING ANYONE?

[ CELLULAR PHONE RINGS ]

[ RING ]

[ RING ]

[ RING ]

HELLO?

WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

SYD?

ARE YOU SLEEPING?

NO, NO.

I'M, UH...

I'M WORKING.

ARE YOU ALL RIGHT?
'CAUSE YOU SOUND LIKE HELL.

YEAH, YEAH.
YEAH, I'M FINE.

HOW -- HOW YOU DOING?

YOU'RE GOING TO KILL ME.

WHY?

I KNOW WE TALKED ABOUT
GOING TO "NORTH BY NORTHWEST,"

BUT THERE'S THIS DINNER
AT MY BOSS'S HOUSE.

I CAN'T GET OUT OF IT.

YOU'RE MAD.

UH, NO, NO.

I GOT TO, UH,
GO TO A MEETING, THOUGH.

WILL YOU COME WITH ME?

THEY SAID
I COULD BRING A GUEST.

WILL YOU BE MY GUEST?

[ HORN HONKS ]

WILL YOU PLEASE
TELL ME WHAT HAPPENED?

LISTEN, I TOLD YOU I DON'T
WANT TO TALK ABOUT IT.

YOUR BRUISE
LOOKS PRETTY BAD.

WELL, YOU KNOW WHAT?

YOU'RE JUST GOING TO HAVE TO
COME OVER TO MY PLACE,

AND I'LL MAKE YOU
A BIG BOWL OF ASHISHTA.

IT'S A NOODLE SOUP THAT
MY GRANDMOTHER USED TO MAKE.

YOU KNOW WHAT?
YOU HAVE TO MEET HER.

YOU'RE GOING TO LOVE HER.

JENNY, LISTEN,
I THINK YOU'RE GREAT.

YOU'RE SMART
AND YOU'RE BEAUTIFUL,

AND I THINK
WE'VE HAD A LOT OF FUN,

BUT YOU AND I --

I JUST DON'T THINK
THAT WE...

[ THUD ]

[ TIRES SCREECH ]

ARE YOU BREAKING UP
WITH ME?

I DRIVE ALL THE WAY
OUT HERE --

WITH A BROKEN RADIO,
BY THE WAY --

AND YOU'RE -- YOU'RE GOING
TO BREAK UP WITH ME?

HEY, THAT'S NOT
REALLY FAIR.

WHY DON'T YOU CALL SYDNEY?

SYDNEY'S NOT MY ASSISTANT.

YOU WORK FOR ME.

NOT ANYMORE. GET OUT.

HA HA. "GET OUT"?

I AM NOT KIDDING.

WHERE THE HELL ARE WE?
WE'RE NOWHERE.

NO, NO, NO.
YOU'RE NOWHERE. GET OUT.

FINE.

"DEAR AUNT STEPHANIE,

"UNFORTUNATELY,
AS MY MOM HAS INFORMED YOU,

"THE WEDDING IS OFF,

"SO I AM RETURNING
YOUR KIND GIFT

"OF A COFFEE MAKER
BECAUSE, AS IT TURNS OUT,

"THE MAN
TO WHOM I WAS ENGAGED

"IS A DECEITFUL, 2-FACED,
SEX-CRAZED JACKASS.

ALL MY LOVE, FRANCIE."

THAT'S NOT TOO HARSH.

[ TELEPHONE RINGS ]

I WANT TO READ YOU ONE MORE.
THIS IS THE RESTRAINED ONE.

[ RING ]

HELLO?

JOEY'S PIZZA?

YOU KNOW,
THIS IS JOEY'S PIZZA.

YOU WANT
TO HEAR OUR SPECIALS?

HELLO?

SERIOUSLY, WE NEED TO THINK
ABOUT CHANGING OUR NUMBER.

I KNOW.

THANK YOU.

I'M GOING TO GET A BOTTLE
OF WINE FOR TONIGHT.

DO YOU NEED ANYTHING
WHILE I'M OUT?

NO THANKS.

HEY.

SLOANE BROUGHT
THE RAMBALDI BOOK HOME.

I MET WITH HIM EARLIER.

HE SHOWED ME THE BOOK. HE WAS
SO TAKEN BY WHAT HE'D SEEN,

HE WANTED TO SHOW IT
TO YOU HIMSELF.

SO HE BROUGHT IT
TO HIS HOUSE?

YES.
IT'LL BE THERE TONIGHT.

WHY DIDN'T HE JUST WAIT
UNTIL I WAS AT SD-6 ON MONDAY?

AN ALLIANCE COURIER
IS EN ROUTE TO LOS ANGELES.

THEY'RE TAKING THE BOOK
TO GERMANY.

THEY HAVE A CLUSTER
OF LABS IN MUNICH --

ADVANCED ANALYSIS
THEY CAN'T PERFORM HERE.

WAIT A MINUTE.
THE BLANK PAGE.

YOU WANT ME
TO MAKE A SWITCH.

IF WE DON'T DO IT TONIGHT,
THE COURIER WILL ARRIVE

IN THE MORNING,
AND WE'LL LOSE OUR SHOT

AT GETTING THAT PAGE
ANYTIME SOON.

DOESN'T THIS SEEM
A LITTLE RISKY TO YOU?

MAKING A MOVE LIKE THIS
AT SLOANE'S HOUSE

WHILE HE'S THERE,
WITHOUT BACKUP.

OH, YOU WILL HAVE BACKUP.
YOUR FATHER'S GOING, TOO.

I CAN HELP YOU TONIGHT.

EMILY BELIEVES THAT HER HUSBAND
IS C.O.O. OF THE BANK.

IF HE WANTS
TO SHOW YOU THE BOOK,

HE'LL HAVE TO DO THAT
IN PRIVATE,

MOST LIKELY
IN HIS OFFICE.

WHERE YOU WANT ME
TO PLANT THE BUG.

IF WE ASSUME THAT'S WHERE

THE BOOK IS BEING KEPT,
IT COULD BE AN IDEAL SCENARIO.

DURING DINNER, VAUGHN WILL
CALL YOUR CELL PHONE

POSING AS A FRIEND IN NEED.

YOU'LL EXCUSE YOURSELF,
GO TO SLOANE'S OFFICE,

GET INTO HIS SAFE,
AND MAKE THE SWITCH.

NOW, SLOANE'S VAULT IS
AN ADVANCED CUSHIONING MODEL.

THE GUYS WHO MADE
THE PAPER CLIP BUG

CAME UP WITH THIS.

IT OVERRIDES THE CIRCUITRY,

TRICKS THE SAFE
INTO BELIEVING

YOU ENTERED
THE CORRECT COMBINATION.

NOW, THEY SAY
IT'S BITCHIN',

SO I'M ASSUMING
IT'S BITCHIN'.

I DON'T KNOW
ABOUT THIS PLAN.

I MEAN, NOT ONLY DOES IT
PUT ME IN DANGER, AND YOU...

BUT I'M TAKING WILL
TONIGHT.

YOU'RE DOING WHAT?

YEAH.

EMILY TOLD ME
TO BRING SOMEONE. WHY?

NOTHING.

I SHOULD LEAVE.
I'LL SEE YOU THERE.

LOOK, IF YOU FEEL YOU CAN
MAKE THE SWITCH, DO IT.

JUST USE YOUR DISCRETION.

SO YOU'RE TAKING WILL?

YEAH.

YOU LOOK REALLY PRETTY.

THANK YOU.

[ DOORBELL RINGS ]

OH, SYDNEY.

HI.

I'M SO GLAD YOU'RE HERE.

HEY. THESE ARE FOR YOU.

OH, GOD.

YOU LOOK BEAUTIFUL.

OH, THANK YOU.
YOU LOOK FANTASTIC.

I WANT YOU TO MEET
MY FRIEND WILL TIPPIN.

AND THIS IS EMILY.

HOW DO YOU DO?
I'M PLEASED TO MEET YOU.

PLEASE COME IN.

WOW.

Emily: OH, I BELIEVE
YOU KNOW EACH OTHER.

SURE, WE MET.

HEY, HOW YOU DOING?
GOOD TO SEE YOU.

YOU TOO.

SYDNEY'S TELLING ME

YOU'RE DOING ANALYSIS
FOR THE BANK.

STRATEGY --
INVESTMENT STRATEGY.

ARVIN MADE ME AN OFFER
I COULDN'T REFUSE.

OH, THAT SOUNDS LIKE
MY HUSBAND.

SYDNEY.

SO GLAD YOU CAME.

ME TOO. THIS IS
MY FRIEND WILL TIPPIN.

ARVIN SLOANE.

HEY.

HEY. NICE TO MEET YOU.

YEAH,
NICE TO MEET YOU, TOO.

SYDNEY, I WANT
TO SHOW YOU SOMETHING.

AND, EMILY, THIS IS THE ONLY
BUSINESS WE'LL DO THIS EVENING.

CAN I GET YOU
ANYTHING TO DRINK?

YES, YES.
ANYTHING WOULD BE GREAT.

OKAY, GOOD. COME IN.

I DIDN'T GET A CHANCE
TO TELL YOU HOW PROUD I AM

OF THE WORK YOU DID
IN TUNISIA.

I WAS JUST DOING
MY JOB.

WELL, YOU WILL FIND
AS YOU GET OLDER

HOW DIFFICULT IT IS
TO FIND PEOPLE

WHO JUST DO THEIR JOB.

A COURIER IS PICKING
THIS UP TOMORROW MORNING

FOR ANALYSIS.

TAKING IT WHERE?

ENGLAND.

I JUST WANTED YOU
TO SEE IT.

I DIDN'T KNOW IF YOU HAD
A CHANCE TO LOOK AT IT,

TO REALLY EXAMINE IT.

NO, I DIDN'T OPEN IT.

SOME OF THE TEXT
IS ITALIAN,

BUT MOST OF IT IS IN CODE,

CODE WE HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE
TO BREAK.

WHO WAS THIS MAN, SYDNEY?

WHAT DID HE SEE?

WHAT DID RAMBALDI SEE?

THOSE WHO KNOW
ABOUT HIM --

VARIOUS AGENCIES, A FEW
IN THE PRIVATE SECTOR --

THEY'RE SPENDING MILLIONS
TO ANSWER THESE QUESTIONS.

MILLIONS.

MEN WOULD DIE
FOR THIS BOOK.

MEN HAVE DIED.

YOU KNOW, SYDNEY,
THE WORK WE'RE DOING HERE --

TRYING TO FIGURE OUT
WHO RAMBALDI WAS,

WHAT HE WAS WORKING ON --

IS BECOMING AN OBSESSION
FOR ME.

I AM STILL NOT SURE
I'M A BELIEVER.

NEITHER WAS I.

NEITHER WAS I.

Emily: WAIT A MINUTE.

YOU WROTE THE ARTICLE
ABOUT THE FRUIT PICKER

FROM LA VENTA?

YEAH, YEAH, I DID.

I CAN'T BELIEVE
YOU READ THAT.

THIS IS SO FUNNY.
I TOLD YOU ABOUT THIS.

THERE WAS A POLL
IN THE NEWSPAPER.

I VOTED FOR YOU.

YOU'RE KIDDING ME.
I JUST WON THAT.

YOU DID?
WELL, YOU DESERVED IT.

THAT STORY MADE ME CRY.

IT JUST STAYED WITH ME.

YEAH, WELL, THAT GUY
WAS AMAZING.

THE STORY WAS ABOUT
THIS MAN LUIS MAROMA.

HE WAS A FRUIT PICKER
FROM MEXICO, AN IMMIGRANT --

ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT
LIVING IN LOS ANGELES --

AND HE WORKED FOR A MAN
WHO WAS...

BASICALLY
A SLAVE DRIVER.

NO,
HE WAS A SLAVE DRIVER.

THE CONDITIONS
THESE POOR PEOPLE LIVED IN.

18 SLEEPING IN EVERY ROOM,
ONE BATHROOM,

THEY WERE ALL
UNDERNOURISHED,

AND, OF COURSE,
IF ANYONE GOT SICK,

THERE WAS NO HEALTH CARE.

ANYWAY, MAROMA WAS ONE
OF THESE WORKERS

SMUGGLED IN FROM MEXICO.

THEIR BOSS WAS A MONSTER.

HE WAS THE DEVIL.

HE WAS LITERALLY
THE DEVIL.

HOW'S THAT?

WELL, IF YOU SPOKE OUT
AGAINST HIM,

IF YOU TRIED TO LEAVE,
HE'D HAVE YOU KILLED.

NOW, THE OTHER WORKERS,

THEY DIDN'T KNOW
WHAT THEY COULD DO,

BUT LUIS MAROMA COULD READ.

AND HE STARTED TO TEACH
THE OTHERS TO READ,

AND HE WOULD FIND ARTICLES
IN THE NEWSPAPERS

THAT THEY WERE WRAPPING
THE FRUIT IN,

ARTICLES THAT TAUGHT THEM
ABOUT THEIR RIGHTS,

ABOUT WHAT WAS RIGHT
AND WRONG.

EVENTUALLY, HE LED A REVOLT
AGAINST THIS GUY.

[ CLOCK CHIMING ]
I'M GOING TO CRY AGAIN
JUST TALKING ABOUT IT.

WHAT WAS AMAZING WAS THIS MAN
HAD NO FUTURE.

I MEAN, HE WAS CAUGHT
IN A HORRIBLE POSITION,

WORKING FOR THE WORST
PERSON IN THE WORLD.

BUT HE WAS RESOURCEFUL
AND HE WAS SMART, AND --

AND TODAY
HE'S GOING TO COLLEGE.

AND THE MONSTER HE WORKED FOR
IS IN PRISON ROTTING

WHERE HE BELONGS.

WOW, THAT'S
AN INCREDIBLE STORY.

EMILY?

EMILY,
ARE YOU ALL RIGHT?

MM.

I'M FINE.

I'M FINE.

I'M SORRY.

I-I'M STILL ADJUSTING
TO THIS NEW MEDICATION.

IT'S NOTHING.

IT'S OKAY.

[ CELLULAR PHONE RINGS ]

EXCUSE ME. SORRY.

HELLO?

HI, IT'S FRANCIE.

FRANCIE.
OH.

EXCUSE ME.
I HAVE TO TAKE THIS CALL.

I'M SORRY.

HEY, SWEETIE.

OKAY, I'M IN. I'LL SEE YOU
AT THE DEAD DROP.

[ BEEPING ]

SO, WILL,

WHAT STORY
ARE YOU WORKING ON?

I HAVE A FEW IRONS
IN THE FIRE.

REALLY?

WHAT KIND OF IRONS?

[ BEEP ]

JACK, COULD I GET YOU
SOME MORE WINE?

PLEASE, LET ME GET IT.
YOU STAY THERE.

I'LL GET IT. I KNOW
WHERE THE WINE CELLAR IS.

MMM. THIS LAMB'S FANTASTIC.

[ DOOR OPENS ]

THIS? I GOT HIT
BY A BASKETBALL.

HOW'S THIS?

JACK, THAT'S
A VERY NICE WINE,

BUT I HAVE
SOMETHING SPECIAL --

A '78 LITSVAGE.

I'LL GET IT.

NO, PLEASE,
I KNOW WHERE IT IS.

YOU SIT DOWN THIS TIME.
PLEASE.

YOU LOOK PALE.

MY FRIEND, SHE'S REALLY
HAVING A ROUGH TIME.

I SEE.

IS THERE ANYTHING
I CAN DO?

NO, BUT THANKS.

I SHOULD HAVE TOLD YOU
LAST NIGHT ABOUT TIPPIN.

HE AND McNEIL TRACED THE USE
OF McNEIL'S PROGRAM

TO SOME OF THE ALLIANCE'S
SHELL COMPANIES.

BUT I'VE DEALT
WITH TIPPIN.

HE WON'T BE A PROBLEM
FOR US ANYMORE.

SECURITY SECTION
TOLD ME WHAT YOU DID.

YOU HAD ME FOLLOWED
BY SECURITY SECTION?

THEY INTERCEPTED
A PHONE CALL

THAT TIPPIN MADE
TO McNEIL THIS MORNING.

THE TWO HAVE SCHEDULED
A MEETING FOR THIS AFTERNOON.

I'M SURE HE'S JUST
GOING THERE

TO TELL McNEIL IN PERSON
THAT HE'S OFF THE STORY.

I'M NOT CONVINCED OF THAT,
SO I SENT SOMEONE.

NOW, IF BY THEIR CONVERSATION
IT BECOMES CLEAR

THAT TIPPIN HAS GIVEN UP
THIS INVESTIGATION,

THEN, YES, I THINK
WE SHOULD LET HIM LIVE.

IF, ON THE OTHER HAND,

YOU HAVEN'T DONE THE JOB
THIS TIME...

SORRY.

THEN NO ONE CAN.

AND I'M SURE
YOU WILL AGREE

THAT TIPPIN WILL NEED
TO BE TAKEN CARE OF.

HEY.

HI.

SO I TALKED TO STOLLER.

HE'S GOING TO CHECK
ON THESE COMPANIES.

WHAT HAPPENED TO YOUR FACE?

WE HAVE TO TALK.

WHEN I FIRST CAME HERE

AND I ASKED YOU
ABOUT SD-6,

YOU TOLD ME
NOT TO PURSUE IT.

YOU SAID IT WAS
TOO DANGEROUS.

DAVID, I THINK
YOU WERE RIGHT.

SO WHY ARE YOU SAYING
THIS TO ME NOW?

DID YOU TALK TO CHRISTOPHE?
WHAT DID HE SAY?

NO, I DIDN'T TALK
TO CHRISTOPHE.
SO WHAT THE HELL'S GOING ON?

I WAS KIDNAPPED
YESTERDAY

BY -- I DON'T KNOW
WHO THEY WERE, BUT...

I'M ASSUMING THEY WORK
FOR SD-6.

DAVID, THEY THREATENED ME.

THEY TOLD ME
TO DROP THE STORY.

AND WHAT MAKES YOU THINK
IF YOU DO,

THEY'RE NOT GOING
TO KILL YOU ANYWAY?

WHAT CHOICE DO I HAVE?

YOU SEE IT THROUGH.

UNDERSTAND THIS --

THE ONLY WAY
YOU CAN TRULY BE SAFE

IS TO PUBLISH THIS STORY.

EXPOSE THEM IN PRINT.

THAT'S YOUR LIFE INSURANCE
POLICY.

COME ON, WILL,
WE'RE CLOSE.

YOU JUST GIVE IT
A WEEK -- A WEEK --

AND WE'LL HAVE SOMETHING
FOR YOU TO WRITE ABOUT.

ONE MORE WEEK,
AND THEY CAN'T TOUCH YOU.

I CAN'T. I'M SORRY.

KELLY WENT AWAY
BECAUSE OF YOU,

BECAUSE YOU CONVINCED HER
THAT YOU WERE

GOING TO HELP ME
GET OUT OF HERE.

NOW YOU DON'T HAVE THE CHOICE
TO BACK OUT ON ME.

DAVID, I HATE MYSELF
FOR LETTING YOU DOWN, OKAY?

BUT RIGHT NOW I'M YOU.

I'M EXACTLY
WHERE YOU WERE

BEFORE YOUR WIFE
WAS KILLED.

NOW, IF I DO
WHAT YOU SUGGEST,

DAVID, THEY'RE GOING
TO KILL MY FAMILY,

MY FRIENDS.

IF YOU COULD GO BACK,
IF YOU COULD CHANGE IT,

YOU WOULDN'T HESITATE,
WOULD YOU?

I'M SORRY.

CALL DRISCOLL. TELL HIM
I GOT HIS E-MAIL,

THAT HE'S A SICK MAN,

AND THAT WE HAVE THE RINK
FOR TOMORROW NIGHT.

MR. VAUGHN?

YEAH? I'M LATE
FOR A MEETING.

YOU'RE GOING TO WANT
TO CANCEL THAT MEETING.

I'M OFFICER COHEN
WITH SCI-TECH.

WE FIGURED OUT HOW TO READ
THE RAMBALDI DOCUMENT.

YEAH?

YEAH.

CANCEL MY MEETING.

I CAME AS FAST
AS I COULD.

VAUGHN, WHAT'S UP?

REMEMBER THAT VIAL OF LIQUID
COLE WAS AFTER

IN THE SD-6 VAULT?

YEAH, OF COURSE.

WE USED IT
ON THE BLANK PAGE

TO GET THE INK
TO SHOW UP.

SO IT WORKED?

YEAH.

SO WHAT IS IT?

LOOK, WE'RE NOT SURE.

UH, WE DON'T KNOW
WHAT IT MEANS.

THAT'S SORT OF THE PROBLEM.

OKAY, SO YOU'RE ACTING
REALLY FREAKY.

I HAVE THE PAGE WITH ME,
AND I'D LIKE YOU TO SEE IT.

OKAY.
