Alias (2001–2006): Season 1, Episode 21 - Rendezvous - 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.

I HAVE THIS SOURCE
WHO TOLD ME ABOUT YOU.

AND I DON'T EVEN KNOW
WHERE HE LIVES.

I DON'T KNOW
WHERE HE WORKS,

BUT HE KNOWS --
HE KNOWS EVERYTHING.

I'M PROUD OF YOU.

WHAT? OF ME?

I'VE WORKED
WITH A LOT OF PEOPLE.

YOU MAKE IT LOOK EASY.



THE ALLIANCE KNOWS
YOU DISREGARDED THEIR POLICY

AND PURSUED KHASINAU.

THEY'RE GOING
TO WANT TO SEE EVIDENCE

THAT YOUR PRIORITIES
ARE IN ORDER.

ARE YOU SUGGESTING

THAT I ALLOW YOU
TO KILL MY WIFE

TO ENHANCE MY STANDING
WITHIN THE ALLIANCE?

Michael: YOU'LL MEET
WITH SARK IN DENPASAR,

DISGUISED AS A REPRESENTATIVE
FROM THE RASLAK JIHAD.

I'LL COVER YOU
FROM A SAFE DISTANCE

WHILE YOU BROKER
THE DEAL WITH SARK

FOR THE COUNTERFEIT
RAMBALDI SOLUTION.

SYDNEY, IT'S DIXON.

HE'S HERE.

HANDS IN THE AIR!

TAKE POSITION
OVER THERE,

BUT COVER FIRE ONLY.
I DON'T WANT BRISTOW HURT.

I COULDN'T MAKE THE SWITCH!
SARK'S GOT THE REAL AMPULE!

I'M ON HIM.
HEAD TO THE EXTRACTION POINT.

COVER ME!

FREEZE!

TURN AROUND.
HANDS ON YOUR HEAD.

I DON'T WANT
TO HURT YOU.

FREELANCER, ARE YOU
AT THE EXTRACTION POINT YET?

EAGLE EYE,
I GOT THE AMPULE.
I GOT YOU FIVE BY --

I NEED A 20 ON FREELANCER.
YOU CANNOT LEAVE SARK
UNTIL HE'S SECURED.

DAMN IT, WHERE IS SHE?

GO.

GO!

[ TELEPHONE RINGS ]

HELLO?

Man: [ Distorted voice ]
YOU SAID

YOU WERE BACK ON THE STORY.
WHY HAVEN'T YOU PUBLISHED?

I NEED SOMETHING
FROM YOU.

Jack: YOU'RE GOING
TO TELL YOUR CONTACT

YOU WANT A MEETING,

A MEETING TO TAKE PLACE
AT YOUR CONTACT'S DISCRETION.

WHY WOULD HE LEAD ME
TO YOU,

KNOWING THAT YOU'D WANT
TO FLUSH HIM OUT?

HE ONLY TOLD YOU MY NAME
SO YOU'D REALIZE

MY THREAT TO YOU
WAS A BLUFF,

THAT I'D NEVER HURT SYDNEY

EVEN IF YOU CONTINUED
YOUR INVESTIGATION.

I DIDN'T EXPECT YOU TO HAVE
THE GUTS TO CONTACT ME.

WELL, I'LL ASSUME
THAT'S A COMPLIMENT.

WHEN YOU ASK
FOR THE MEETING,

YOUR CONTACT WILL REFUSE.

WHAT DO I SAY?
YOU SAY...

I KNOW SOMETHING
YOU'LL BE INTERESTED IN.

I KNOW ABOUT
THE CIRCUMFERENCE.

OKAY, WHAT THE HELL'S
THE CIRCUMFERENCE?

IT'S NOT YOUR CONCERN.

I GOT TO KNOW
WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT.

NO, YOU DON'T.
YOU JUST TELL HIM

IF HE WANTS TO KNOW MORE,
YOU'LL HAVE TO MEET.

LOOK, JUST MEET WITH ME

OR FIND SOMEBODY ELSE,
BECAUSE I TELL YOU,

I'M JUST SICK OF ALL THIS
CLOAK AND DAGGER CRAP.

VERY WELL, MR. TIPPIN.

YOU WILL BE CONTACTED
WITH INSTRUCTIONS.

[ CLICK ]

[ DIAL TONE ]

I'M SURE I SPEAK
FOR OUR DISTINGUISHED FRIEND

FROM LOS ANGELES
WHEN I SAY

HOW MUCH WE APPRECIATE YOUR
COMING ON SUCH SHORT NOTICE.

I KNOW IT REFLECTS
YOUR UNDERSTANDING

THAT THE BUSINESS
BEFORE US TODAY

IS AS DIFFICULT
AS IT IS VITAL

TO THE VERY SURVIVAL
OF OUR ORGANIZATION.

I UNDERSTAND YOU HAVE
SOME PREPARED REMARKS. PLEASE.

THANK YOU, RAMON.

BEFORE I BEGIN,
SHOULD WE WAIT

UNTIL ALL THE OTHER MEMBERS
HAVE ARRIVED?

THAT WON'T BE NECESSARY.

I FEEL RATHER AWKWARD
SITTING HERE

ASKING YOU TO ALLOW MY WIFE
TO DIE OF CANCER.

ARVIN,
THE AGREEMENT IS SIMPLE.

PEOPLE WITH ANY UNAUTHORIZED
INFORMATION REGARDING SD-6

OR ANY SD CELL
MUST BE ELIMINATED.

MY WIFE
IS BEING ELIMINATED

BY CANCER,

AND THE PENDING BONE MARROW
BIOPSY REPORTS

WILL MERELY INFORM US

AS TO THE NUMBER OF DAYS
SHE HAS LEFT,

DAYS THAT SHE WILL SPEND
IN AN SD-6 HOSPITAL

WHERE INFORMATION
CAN BE CONTAINED.

SHOULD YOU CHOOSE
TO INTERVENE,

NATURALLY,
I'LL BE FORCED TO RESIGN,

SOMETHING I BELIEVE

YOU SHOULD FACTOR
INTO YOUR DECISION.

NOW...

IN THE PAST 12 YEARS,
SD-6 HAS MADE FOR THE ALLIANCE

OVER $400 MILLION
IN ARMS SALES ALONE,

PLUS ANOTHER $300 MILLION
FROM VARIOUS TRANSACTIONS

WITH ANINI HASSAN.

IN ADDITION,

WE HAVE ACQUIRED
MORE RAMBALDI ARTIFACTS

THAN ALL THE SD CELLS
COMBINED.

YOUR SERVICE TO THE ALLIANCE
IS UNQUESTIONED,

WITH ONE EXCEPTION.

WE KNOW YOU HAD OUR COLLEAGUE
JEAN BRIAULT ASSASSINATED.

YOU KNOW ABOUT POOLE,
DON'T YOU?

THAT'S WHY HE'S NOT HERE.

YOU KNOW THAT KHASINAU
HAD HIM IN HIS POCKET.

OUR FORMER COLLEAGUE
HAS, UNDER DURESS,

ACKNOWLEDGED HIS CONNECTION
WITH MR. KHASINAU,

AND HIS MANIPULATION
OF YOU

THAT LED TO BRIAULT'S
UNFORTUNATE PASSING.

FACED WITH A BREACH
OF THIS MAGNITUDE,

WE HAVE REEVALUATED
OUR POSITION

REGARDING
PEACEFUL COEXISTENCE

WITH KHASINAU.

WE KNOW YOU HAVE ADVOCATED
A WAR WITH KHASINAU.

THE ALLIANCE IS NOW

FULLY PREPARED
TO ENGAGE IN SUCH AN ACTION.

I AM RELIEVED

AND GRATIFIED.

HE IS AN ENEMY WORTHY
OF OUR COMBINED RESOURCES.

YOU MUST HAVE A VISION

OF HOW ALL OF THIS
IS SUPPOSED TO PLAY OUT.

I AM ASSUMING THAT YOUR PLAN
ENDS IN ASSASSINATION.

YES, THAT'S RIGHT --
ASSASSINATION OF KHASINAU.

THEN YOUR PLAN MUST CHANGE.

IF WE ABDUCT KHASINAU,
OR WORSE YET, KILL HIM,

MOST CERTAINLY WE WILL NEVER
HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO LEARN

WHAT IT IS HE IS AFTER

OR HOW HE WORKS

OR WITH WHOM.

PUT AWAY YOUR NEED
FOR REVENGE.

FIND OUT WHAT YOU CAN.

BRING US SUBSTANTIAL INTEL

AND WE WILL TAKE
YOUR WIFE'S SITUATION

UNDER ADVISEMENT.

HEY.

YOU MISS ME?

SO HOW WAS, UH...

PALM SPRINGS.

PERFECT.

RIGHT, RIGHT.
THE DESERT.

I ACTUALLY READ A BOOK.

YOU DIDN'T GO WITH ANYONE?

I ASKED WILL AND FRANCIE,
BUT THEY BOTH HAD WORK.

IT WAS GOOD, ACTUALLY,
BEING ALONE.

I NEEDED TIME TO DECOMPRESS.

MM.

WE'VE REACQUIRED
KHASINAU'S TRAIL.

WE HAVE?

MM-HMM. WE APPREHENDED SARK
IN DENPASAR.

TURNS OUT
THERE WAS A SECOND AMPULE.

WE INTERCEPTED
A COMMUNIQUé

DETAILING SARK'S PLAN
TO BUY IT

FROM A SPLINTER GROUP
OF THE RASLAK JIHAD.

DID YOU GET
THE AMPULE?

NO. SARK DIDN'T
HAVE IT ON HIM.

HMM.

I'M GOING
TO READ THE OP TECH REPORT,

CATCH UP
ON WHAT I MISSED.

SYDNEY.

FOR THE RECORD,

I DID MISS YOU.

OH, MR. BRISTOW.
GOOD MORNING, FRANCIE.

I'M JUST HERE TO GIVE SYDNEY
A RIDE TO WORK.
SURE. COME ON IN.

I'VE GOT TO GO.
BYE.

BYE, FRANCIE.

KRETCHMER BRIEFED ME
ON DENPASAR.

IT WAS A SLOPPY
OPERATION.

YOUR PURSUIT OF YOUR MOTHER
IS CLOUDING YOUR JUDGMENT.

YOU CAN'T AFFORD
TO CONTINUE.

AND AT THE MOMENT,
I CAN'T PROTECT YOU.

I HAVEN'T REGAINED
SLOANE'S TRUST.

HE STILL HASN'T REINSTATED ME
TO ACTIVE DUTY.

I'M NOT EVEN PRIVY
TO HIS BRIEFINGS.

THEN YOU HAVEN'T HEARD
THAT SD-6 GOT SARK.

WHILE THIS MIGHT NOT SEEM LIKE
A PARTICULARLY GOOD DAY FOR YOU,

YOU'D BE SURPRISED.

WE HAVE PEOPLE HERE
TRAINED IN TORTURE,

AND THEY ARE SO GOOD
AT WHAT THEY DO,

I SOMETIMES
TAKE THEM FOR GRANTED.

BUT I'M NOT IN THE MOOD
FOR TORTURE.

NO, THERE'S BEEN ENOUGH
TORTURE LATELY.

WE'VE BEEN SOMEWHAT CURIOUS
ABOUT YOUR EMPLOYER...

ALEXANDER KHASINAU.

WELL...

YOU'RE IN GOOD COMPANY.

YES.

BUT WE HAVE YOU.

INDEED.

I NEED TO FIND
YOUR EMPLOYER.

YOU RAISE
AN INTERESTING POINT.

GIVEN MY CURRENT STATE
OF AFFAIRS,

IT DOESN'T SEEM
AS IF MY AFFILIATION

WITH MR. KHASINAU
IS LONG FOR THIS EARTH.

WE BOTH KNOW YOU'RE
A VERY CLEVER YOUNG MAN,

SO WE DON'T NEED
TO PLAY GAMES.

YOU'RE VALUABLE TO ME.

YOU CAN HELP ME FIND
KHASINAU.

I'M VALUABLE TO YOU...

OBVIOUSLY.

I UNDERSTAND
I AM IN NO POSITION

TO DEMAND ANYTHING,

BUT FOR THE RECORD,

I'M FAR MORE
COMFORTABLE TALKING

OVER A GLASS
OF CHATEAU PETREUSE...

'82.

WHY DOES THAT GUY HAVE
SUCH A GUILTY LOOK ON HIS FACE?

YESTERDAY, GINGER TOLD ROD
THAT GAVIN WAS RUBY'S PIMP,

BUT ROD DIDN'T EVEN KNOW
THAT RUBY WAS A PROSTITUTE.

WHO'S GAVIN?

RUBY'S FATHER.

EW.

RIGHT.

WILL.

HUH? HI.

OH, WHAT'S, UH, WHAT HAPPENED
TO RUBY'S DAD?

WHERE ARE YOU?

[ CELLULAR PHONE RINGS ]

I'M SORRY,
I JUST GOT THIS WORK THING...

HELLO.

Man: [ Distorted voice ]
LISTEN CAREFULLY, MR. TIPPIN.

I'M ABOUT TO GIVE YOU
INSTRUCTIONS ON WHERE TO MEET.

THEY MUST BE FOLLOWED
TO THE LETTER.

GUESS WHO JUST
TORE ME A NEW ONE.

DEVLIN.

NOW ASK ME WHY.

WHY?

BECAUSE I TOOK A BULLET
FOR YOU TODAY.

THEY WANT TO KNOW WHY
YOU LEFT SARK

WHEN HE WASN'T SECURED YET.
I SAID I TOLD YOU TO,

I MISREAD THE FEED
FROM THE SATELLITE,

I THOUGHT THE RECOVERY TEAM
WAS NEARBY.

THANK YOU.
I LIED
TO SAVE YOUR ASS.

YOU DIDN'T HAVE
TO DO THAT.

THAT'S WHAT PARTNERS
DO FOR EACH OTHER.
I SAID THANK YOU.

I DON'T WANT YOUR THANKS.
I WANT IT TO STOP.

LOOK, SYDNEY'S
MY RESPONSIBILITY.

LOOK, MIKE, I'M NOT GOING
TO TRIVIALIZE YOUR RELATIONSHIP

WITH HER
BY CALLING IT A CRUSH --
A CRUSH?

BUT WHATEVER IT IS,
IT'S STARTING TO AFFECT ME,

AND IF THAT SOUNDS
SELFISH TO YOU,

I WAS HOPING TO RETIRE
FULLY VESTED.

I KNOW YOU GENUINELY
CARE FOR HER.

I DO, TOO.

BUT THERE IS A LINE THAT
WE HAVE BEEN SWORN NOT TO CROSS.

WE'RE ABOUT A MILE PAST THAT.

I DON'T KNOW HOW TO BE
SYDNEY'S HANDLER

WITHOUT MAKING IT PERSONAL.

FIGURE OUT A WAY.

I MUST ADMIT, I WAS ONLY
HALF SERIOUS

WHEN I ASKED
FOR THE PETREUSE.

I JUST ASSUMED, AFTER WHAT
KHASINAU'S DONE --

SENDING MEN
INTO THIS FACILITY,

MURDERING
SOME OF YOUR MEN --

THAT, REGARDLESS
OF WHAT I SAID,

YOU'D SPLIT MY BELLY
WITH A HUNTING KNIFE.

DO YOU THINK THAT'S THE KIND
OF ACTIVITY

THE CIA ENGAGES IN?

NOT THE CIA.

KHASINAU SENT YOU TO MOSCOW
TO NEGOTIATE WITH K-DIRECTORATE.

HE TRUSTS YOU.

YOU KNOW THINGS.

I SUPPOSE
I BETTER KNOW THINGS.

HOWEVER, TO BE CLEAR,

MY EMPLOYER HARDLY TELLS ME
EVERYTHING.

MMM.

[ SLURPING ]

WE WILL COLLABORATE,

YOU AND I.

YOU WILL LEAD ME
TO KHASINAU.

UNDERSTOOD?

MAY I?

UNDERSTOOD?

UNDERSTOOD.

Arvin: AS IT TURNS OUT,
OUR MR. SARK

IS A VERY COOPERATIVE
YOUNG MAN.

WE HAVE RECEIVED INDEPENDENT
CONFIRMATION FOR THE INTEL

HE'S PROVIDED THUS FAR.

IT SEEMS THAT MR. SARK'S LOYALTY
TO KHASINAU

DISAPPEARED THE MOMENT
THAT HE WAS KIDNAPPED.

SO, WHAT'S THE MOVE?

SARK WASN'T SCHEDULED TO MAKE
CONTACT WITH KHASINAU

UNTIL THURSDAY NIGHT.
THEY'VE ARRANGED TO MEET

AT A DINNER CLUB IN PARIS
THAT KHASINAU OWNS.

THAT'S WHERE YOU'RE GOING.

IS THIS AN ABDUCTION?

NO. KHASINAU IS EXPECTING
THE AMPULE.

ACCORDING TO SARK,
KHASINAU NEEDS IT --

THE SOLUTION IN IT --
IN ORDER TO READ

A RAMBALDI DOCUMENT THAT
THEY BELIEVE CONTAINS TEXT

WRITTEN IN RAMBALDI'S
NOW-FAMILIAR INVISIBLE INK.

THIS RAMBALDI PAGE WILL BE
AT THE PARIS LOCATION.

SARK WILL BE PROVIDED
WITH A COUNTERFEIT AMPULE

WHICH HE WILL PASS ON
TO KHASINAU.

YOUR JOB IS TO STEAL THIS
RAMBALDI PAGE FROM HIS OFFICE

AND REPLACE IT
WITH A COUNTERFEIT.

WAIT A MINUTE.
I DON'T UNDERSTAND.

WE'VE BEEN HUNTING KHASINAU
FOR MONTHS.

SYDNEY, I KNOW THAT YOU HAVE
A PERSONAL STAKE IN THIS --

WE'RE GOING TO BE IN
THE SAME ROOM AS THE GUY,

AND YOU WANT US
TO GO AFTER A DOCUMENT?

THIS IS RIDICULOUS. LET'S JUST
GET THE SON OF A BITCH.

SYDNEY, NO ONE WANTS KHASINAU
MORE THAN I DO.

NO ONE.

SARK HAS PROVIDED US
WITH DETAILED PLANS OF THE CLUB,

ITS OPERATION, AND THE LOCATION
OF THE VAULT.

LUCKILY, AN EMPLOYEE OF THE CLUB
IS ABOUT TO CALL IN SICK.

IT'S BEEN ARRANGED FOR YOU
TO TAKE HER PLACE.

MARSHALL WILL PROVIDE YOU
WITH THE OP TECH.

UM...

UM, HOW'S YOUR -- YOUR VOICE?

WHY?

I WAS CONTACTED.

WERE YOU FOLLOWED?
NO.

TELL ME EXACTLY
WHAT PRECAUTIONS YOU TOOK.

I DID WHAT YOU TOLD ME --
I DIDN'T USE MY BLINKERS,

I AVOIDED THE INNER LANES,

I CIRCLED THE BLOCK
EVERY 3 MILES.

WHAT DID YOUR CONTACT SAY?

HE WANTS TO MEET.
GOOD.

YOU'LL BE PICKED UP BY MEN
IN A VAN. THEY'LL BE ARMED.

OKAY.

YOU'LL BE BLINDFOLDED
AND TAKEN TO ANOTHER LOCATION.

OKAY, I KNOW
WHAT THAT FEELS LIKE.

BUT THEY WILL NOT HURT YOU.
THEY NEED YOU.

AND THEY'RE GOING TO TAKE ME
TO DEEP THROAT.

OR SOMEONE
WHO WORKS FOR HIM.

THERE'S A MINIATURE TRANSMITTER
SEWN INTO THE LINING.

WHAT IF THEY FRISK ME?

IT'S TOO SMALL
TO BE DETECTED.

WHAT WERE THE TERMS?
TERMS?

TIME, PLACE,
ORAL OR VISUAL TELL?

THERE'S A STREET CORNER.

I'M SUPPOSED TO BE READING

THE BUSINESS SECTION
OF A LOCAL PAPER.

WHEN?
TOMORROW NIGHT, 7:00.

WHERE?

PARIS.

[ FOOTSTEPS ]

PLEASE TELL ME MY COUNTERMISSION
IS TO GRAB KHASINAU.

IT'S NOT.
WELL, IT SHOULD BE.

I'M GOING TO BE
THIS CLOSE TO HIM,

AND NOBODY WANTS ME
TO TAKE HIM INTO CUSTODY?

SD-6 MUST NOT GET
THE RAMBALDI DOCUMENT.

NOW, IN TRANSIT
TO YOUR EXTRACTION POINT,

YOU'LL REPLACE WHAT DIXON TOOK
FROM THE VAULT WITH THESE.

THAT'S IT?
JUST SWITCH THE PAGES?

YES. THESE ARE COUNTERFEIT.

DO YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS
ABOUT THE MISSION?

NO, I DO NOT.

VAUGHN, WHAT'S GOING ON?

NOTHING.
DO YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS?

YES, I WANT TO KNOW
WHAT'S GOING ON WITH YOU.

YOU'RE ACTING...

WELL, NOT LIKE YOURSELF.

I'M FINE,
BUT I SHOULD GO.

UM, GOOD LUCK.

THANKS.

I COULDN'T GO THROUGH THIS
WITHOUT YOU.

DR. LEVIN AND I
DISCUSSED YOUR PAIN MANAGEMENT.

ARVIN...

I DON'T WANT TO BE HERE
IN THE HOSPITAL WHEN...

I WANT TO BE HOME.

PROMISE ME.

I PROMISE.

BONSOIR.
BONSOIR.

[ SPEAKING FRENCH ]

[ DETECTOR SQUEALS ]

C'EST MON TéLéPHONE.

TRèS BIEN. MADAME?

[ DETECTOR SQUEALS ]

MADAME?

[ SPEAKS FRENCH ]

OR YOU COULD SAY IT'S
A FRIENDSHIP RING, SOMETHING

TO SIGNIFY PLATONIC INTIMACY
BETWEEN TWO GIRLS

OR A GUY AND A GIRL, WHICH A LOT
OF PEOPLE SAY IS IMPOSSIBLE,

THAT A GUY AND A GIRL
WOULD -- WE'RE FRIENDS.

RIGHT.

OKAY, THIS ACTUALLY IS
A CARDIAC EVENT RECORDER.

NOW, KHASINAU'S VAULT USES
BIOMETRIC ACCESS CONTROL --

NO CODE, NO KEY, NOTHING.

SO THIS WILL DETECT
HEARTBEAT SIGNATURES --

IN KHASINAU'S CASE,
A VERY UNIQUE ONE

BECAUSE THIS GUY SUFFERS
FROM ATRIAL FIBRILLATION.

NOW, WHAT YOU WANT TO DO
IS PUT THIS KIND OF ON

OR, YOU KNOW,
ON TOP OF HIS THORAX

OR ANYWHERE THAT YOU MIGHT
GET A PULSE,

AND THEN IT WILL TRANSMIT
THE ECG DATA

TO DIXON'S CELL PHONE,

WHO WILL USE THAT
TO FOOL THE BIOMETRIC SENSOR

AND, UH, VOILà.
OPEN SESAME.

MERCI.

[ WOMAN SINGING IN FRENCH ]

[ SPEAKING FRENCH ]

TAKE THIS.

WHAT'S THIS?

A TIME-RELEASE
METHAMPHETAMINE

TO COUNTERACT THE EFFECTS
OF SODIUM PENTOTHAL.

SODIUM PENTOTHAL.
LIKE A TRUTH SERUM.

THEY'RE GOING
TO GIVE ME THAT?

I WOULD.

GREAT.

DON'T WORRY. I'LL BE
MONITORING YOU THE WHOLE TIME.

YOU HAVE
YOUR COVER STORY STRAIGHT?

THEY'RE GOING
TO KILL ME, AREN'T THEY?

IF THEY WANTED THAT,

YOU WOULD HAVE
BEEN DEAD LONG AGO.

THEY NEED YOU

BECAUSE YOU CAN
PUBLISH THE STORY

AND BECAUSE
YOU KNOW SOMEONE

WHO KNOWS
ABOUT THE CIRCUMFERENCE.

I WOULDN'T
LET YOU DO THIS

IF I THOUGHT THE ODDS
WERE IN FAVOR OF YOUR MURDER.

GREAT.

AFTER TONIGHT,

I'LL HAVE A RECORDING
OF YOUR INTERROGATOR'S VOICE,

POSSIBLY EVEN
OF YOUR CONTACT'S,

IF HE'S FOOLISH ENOUGH
TO MAKE AN APPEARANCE.

EITHER WAY,
WE HAVE A LEAD TO TRACE.

[ JAZZ MUSIC PLAYING ]

AH, MR. SARK.

MR. KHASINAU.

AH.

I HEAR YOU HAD SOME TROUBLES
IN DENPASAR.

IT'S GOOD
TO HAVE YOU BACK SAFE.

THANK YOU.

PLEASE.

CAN I SEE THE AMPULE?

SHALL WE
PROCEED TO MY OFFICE?

MAKE SURE YOU KEEP KHASINAU
AT HIS TABLE,

AND IN CASE YOU HAVE
ANY THOUGHTS OF WARNING HIM,

I WOULD ADVISE AGAINST IT.

WE'LL BE TAKING PRECAUTIONS.

I TOOK THE LIBERTY
OF ORDERING.

YES.

OKAY, GOOD IDEA.

YES, WE CELEBRATE
YOUR SUCCESS FIRST.

[ SPEAKS FRENCH ]
UH, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO.

WE HAVE THE YOUNG MAN
FROM LOS ANGELES.

MM-HMM. PROCEED.

[ SPEAKING FRENCH ]

WE'RE GOOD, SYD.

I'LL MEET YOU OUT BACK
IN TWO MINUTES.

YOUR ARM, PLEASE.

SO ARE YOU THE PERSON
I'VE BEEN TALKING TO?

HE WILL BE ALONG SHORTLY.

FIRST, WE HAVE QUESTIONS.

WHAT'S THAT,
LIKE, SODIUM PENTATHOL?

YES,

SO THAT OUR CONVERSATION
WILL GO SMOOTHLY.

TELL ME, MR. TIPPIN,

HOW DID YOU FIND OUT
ABOUT THE CIRCUMFERENCE?

I HEARD ABOUT IT.

FROM WHO?

A NAME, MR. TIPPIN.

THE NAME?

OKAY.

AAH!

OH, MY GOD.
WHAT THE HELL'S GOING ON?
HOW DID YOU GET HERE?

WILL, LISTEN TO ME.
HOW DID YOU GET HERE?

WHAT THE HELL'S HAPPENING?
WILL!

I WAS FOLLOWING A STORY.

[ MAN YELLING ]
WE HAVE TO MOVE.

COME ON. COME ON.

DIXON,
I CAN'T GET TO YOU.

I'LL SEE YOU
AT THE EXTRACTION POINT.

Dixon: COPY THAT.
I'LL MEET YOU IN 30 MINUTES.

VITOLY!

STOP!

WE'RE GOING
OUT THE FRONT!

GET DOWN.
OKAY.

COME ON.

WILL!

GET IN!
OH, JACK, THANK GOD.

HE CAME HERE WITH YOU?!
GET DOWN!

IT'S BRISTOW. I NEED A FULL
IDENTITY SWITCH

AND COVER ESCORT,
ETA THREE MINUTES.

HOW THE HELL
COULD YOU BRING HIM?

FOR HIS PROTECTION,
WE SHOULD NOT DISCUSS THIS.

YOU CALL THIS
PROTECTING HIM?!

THERE ARE SUPERCEDING
CONSIDERATIONS.

WHO THE HELL
ARE YOU PEOPLE?

THIS ONE HAS NO FIELD
EXPERIENCE. HE NEEDS A MAKEOVER.

GO WITH HIM.
IT'S OKAY.

WHICH PART OF THIS
IS OKAY?

TAKE OFF YOUR CLOTHES.

WHAT?

NOW.

PAY ATTENTION.

[ SPEAKS FRENCH ]

TOUT SUITE, TOUT SUITE,
TOUT SUITE!

YOUR NAME IS
PATRICE LaFONT.

YOU WERE BORN IN NANTES,

WHERE YOU LIVED
UNTIL YOU WERE 5.

OKAY.

HOW COULD YOU
BRING HIM INTO THIS?

I DIDN'T. HE WAS
LOOKING INTO DANNY'S DEATH.

SLOANE FOUND OUT.
I HAD TO STEP IN

TO KEEP SECURITY SECTION
FROM EXECUTING HIM.

WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME?

SOMEONE,
POSSIBLY IN INTELLIGENCE,

CONTACTED HIM --
VERY HIGHLY PLACED.

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.

WELL, NO ONE FROM INTELLIGENCE
WAS IN THAT CLUB.

THOSE PEOPLE WHO WERE
INTERROGATING WILL --

THEY WORK FOR KHASINAU.

HE WANTS TO BRING DOWN SD-6.

HE TRIED AND FAILED
WITH COLE.

ARTICLES IN THE PRESS
WOULD BE LESS PAINFUL,

BUT EQUALLY EFFECTIVE.

NONE OF THIS CHANGES THE FACT
THAT YOU WERE USING WILL.

HE WAS ALREADY BEING USED.
IT'S NO COINCIDENCE

THAT OUT OF ALL THE REPORTERS
IN THE WORLD, HE WAS CHOSEN.

WHAT ARE YOU SAYING?

FOR SOME REASON,

KHASINAU IS TRYING
TO EXPOSE US.

YOU CANNOT TELL ANYONE
ABOUT THIS --

NOT ANYONE.

DO YOU PROMISE ME?

OKAY.

I'LL SEE YOU AT HOME.

Emily: THE DANIELS ARE PLANNING
TO FLY OUT TO VISIT NEXT WEEK.

I THINK THAT'S
A VERY GOOD IDEA, SWEETHEART.

BOLD OF ME TO MAKE PLANS
FOR NEXT WEEK, DON'T YOU THINK?

COME ON, HONEY.

ARVIN...

YOU HAVE TO
KEEP YOUR SENSE OF HUMOR.

I SUPPOSE I DO.

[ BEEP ]

HONEY?

ARE YOU THERE?

YES, EMILY, I AM.

LISTEN, DARLING,
I NEED TO TAKE THIS PHONE CALL.

ALL RIGHT?

SEE YOU SOON,
MY LOVE.

YES.

YES, I WILL.

ALAIN.

NICE WORK IN PARIS.

YOU HAVE DEPRIVED KHASINAU
OF A VALUABLE PRIZE.

YES, THANK YOU.

THE ALLIANCE HAS DECIDED,

DUE TO YOUR WIFE'S ILLNESS,
HER CONDITION,

YOUR REQUEST
HAS BEEN APPROVED.

YOUR WIFE WILL BE SPARED.

BASE OPS,
THIS IS FREELANCER.

FREELANCER?

SYD.

I WANT
TO ASK YOU SOMETHING,

AND I NEED YOU
TO GIVE ME A STRAIGHT ANSWER.

OF COURSE.

I KNOW YOUR ARM IS HURT.

HOW'D IT HAPPEN?

I WAS HIKING
IN THE SAN JACINTO MOUNTAINS

ABOVE PALM SPRINGS,

AND I LOST MY FOOTING
ON A SCREE,

AND I SUDDENLY FOUND MYSELF
IN THIS ROCKSLIDE.

I GASHED IT PRETTY BAD.

WELL, YOU SHOULD HAVE
TOLD ME.

WE'RE SUPPOSED TO LET EACH OTHER
KNOW ABOUT OUR INJURIES.

FULL DISCLOSURE.

FULL DISCLOSURE.

SARK MUST HAVE TIPPED OFF
KHASINAU.

IT'S THE ONLY WAY TO EXPLAIN
WHY HIS MEN CAME AFTER ME.

WELL, THAT COMPLICATION
NOTWITHSTANDING,

THE MISSION
WAS A SUCCESS.

BUT WE LOST SARK.

WHEN SARK ARRIVED
AT THE CLUB

AND KHASINAU'S TEAM FAILED
TO DETECT A TRACKING DEVICE,

HE MUST HAVE THOUGHT
THAT I WAS BLUFFING.

NOW, THE TRUTH IS THAT I WAS
PREPARED FOR SUCH A POSSIBILITY.

WHEN HE ASKED
FOR A BOTTLE OF WINE,

I HAD SECURITY SECTION
LACE IT

WITH A NONLETHAL DOSE
OF A RADIOACTIVE ISOTOPE.

WE HAVE A GEOSYNCHRONOUS
SATELLITE IN ORBIT

DESIGNED TO DETECT
PARTICLE DECAY.

WE HAVE BEEN TRACKING SARK
SINCE HE LEFT THE CLUB.

WHERE IS HE?

HE'S ON A TRANSATLANTIC FLIGHT,
HOPEFULLY WITH KHASINAU.

IT'S TOO SOON
TO PROJECT HIS DESTINATION,

BUT WHEN HE LANDS, WE'LL VECTOR
A TEAM TO HIS POSITION.

THAT'S ALL.
YOU CAN GO.

SYDNEY, STAY FOR A MINUTE,
WOULD YOU?

EMILY TOLD ME
THAT YOU VISITED HER

AT THE HOSPITAL LAST WEEK

AND THAT YOU HAD
A NICE CONVERSATION.

YES, WE DID.

I KNOW THAT SOME OF THE THINGS
THAT SHE SAID

INDICATED HER AWARENESS
OF WHAT WE DO HERE

AND THAT USUALLY,
SUCH A BREACH

WOULD PROSCRIBE
A DELIBERATE COURSE OF ACTION.

YOU KNOW THAT
BETTER THAN ANYONE.

BECAUSE SHE'S NOT LIKELY
TO LAST A WEEK...

I WAS ABLE
TO SUSTAIN A REPRIEVE.

I'M GLAD.

YES, I KNEW YOU WOULD BE.

THAT'S WHY
I WANTED TO THANK YOU

FOR BEING
SUCH A GOOD FRIEND TO EMILY...

AND TO ME.

IT WAS YOUR DUTY TO REPORT
EMILY TO SECURITY SECTION.

YOU DIDN'T.

AND THAT'S MORE
THAN I DID FOR YOU.

Michael: PLEASE TELL ME
YOU'RE NOT ACTUALLY

FEELING SYMPATHY
FOR ARVIN SLOANE.

NO.

IT'S JUST THE FIRST TIME
I'VE SEEN HIM EXPRESS REGRET

FOR WHAT HE DID TO DANNY.

HE WOULDN'T HESITATE
TO KILL YOU

IF HE KNEW WE WERE
HAVING THIS CONVERSATION.

YOU'RE RIGHT.

ANYWAY, I READ YOUR DEBRIEF.
SO DID DEVLIN.

WE'LL DEAL WITH THE LOSS
OF THE RAMBALDI DOCUMENT LATER,

BUT FIRST YOU SHOULD KNOW
THAT, UH,

OFFICE OF SECURITIES
IS DRAWING UP

A CONTINGENCY PLAN
TO KEEP WILL TIPPIN SAFE.

WHAT KIND OF CONTINGENCIES?

WITNESS PROTECTION.

WORST-CASE SCENARIO,
RECRUITMENT.

ABSOLUTELY NOT.

SYDNEY, WE HAVE TO
COVER EVERYTHING.

I CAN'T BELIEVE I'M
HEARING THIS.

HOPEFULLY,
IT WON'T COME TO THIS.

YOU'RE NOT BRINGING HIM
INTO THIS LIFE.

HE IS IN THIS LIFE NOW,

WHETHER YOU LIKE IT OR NOT.

HE IS MY FRIEND.

HE IS, LIKE,
ONE OF MY BEST FRIENDS.

I UNDERSTAND THAT.

NO, YOU DON'T.

YOU GET TO TELL YOUR FRIENDS
THAT YOU WORK FOR THE CIA

WHILE I GO HOME

AND LOOK DESPERATELY
FOR A TINY MOMENT

THAT I CAN BE HONEST
WITH ANYONE ABOUT ANYTHING.

NOW THAT WILL
KNOWS THE TRUTH...

HE'S NEVER GOING
TO TRUST ME AGAIN.

YOU SHOULD HAVE
SEEN HIS FACE IN PARIS.

IT WAS LIKE HE WAS
LOOKING AT A STRANGER.

BUT HE WASN'T.

HE WAS LOOKING AT YOU,

MAYBE FOR THE FIRST TIME.

HE WAS LOOKING AT YOU.

WHAT IS THIS PLACE?

WE'RE, LIKE,
IN THE MIDDLE OF L.A.

DO YOU HAVE PLACES
LIKE THIS EVERYWHERE?

I TOLD YOU
NOT TO PURSUE THIS STORY.

I KNOW YOU DID.

DANNY WAS KILLED
BECAUSE HE KNEW.

BECAUSE I TOLD HIM.

THEY WERE GOING
TO KILL ME, TOO.

THAT'S WHY YOU ASKED
FOR MY SISTER'S PASSPORT.

I KNOW
THAT YOU HAVE QUESTIONS, AND...

LOOK, I WOULD LIKE
TO ANSWER THEM,

BUT I CAN'T.

I AM SO AFRAID THAT YOU KNOW
ANYTHING ABOUT ME AT ALL.

I ONLY WENT AFTER THIS STORY
BECAUSE OF DANNY.

YOU DIDN'T HAVE ANY ANSWERS

AS TO WHO KILLED
THE MAN THAT YOU LOVED,

AND I JUST COULDN'T
STAND THAT.

IT BROKE MY HEART.

I WANTED TO HELP.

BUT YOU GOT
TO KNOW THIS --

I'M NOT GOING
TO ASK YOU A THING.

I AM NOT GOING
TO ASK ANYONE ANYTHING.

YOU NEVER HAVE TO
WORRY ABOUT THAT.

YOU PROMISE ME,

BECAUSE DANNY JUST LEFT
A MESSAGE ON THE MACHINE --

SYD, I PROMISE YOU.

NEVER.

I WAS THINKING
ON THE FLIGHT BACK

WHAT YOUR LIFE'S LIKE,

WHAT YOU HAVE TO
GO THROUGH,

WHAT YOU'VE HAD TO
KEEP FROM YOUR FRIENDS,

HOW HARD THAT MUST BE.

SYD...

I DON'T LOVE YOU
BECAUSE OF WHAT YOU DO

OR WHAT YOU DON'T DO.

I JUST LOVE YOU.

Man: SIR, MR. SARK
HAS LANDED IN GENEVA.

HOW LONG BEFORE YOU CAN HAVE
A TEAM IN POSITION?

ONE HOUR. DO WE HAVE
AUTHORIZATION TO APPREHEND SARK?

YEAH.

YOU HAVE IT.

HEY, GUYS,
IS THERE A FOOD SITUATION?

IS THERE ANY CHANCE, LIKE,

I CAN MAYBE
GET SOMETHING TO EAT?

LIKE A BURGER OR SOMETHING?

I'M EASY.

[ KNOCK ON DOOR ]

I AM SORRY
TO KEEP YOU BOTH WAITING.

IT'S OKAY, DOCTOR.

AND I APOLOGIZE
FOR BEING UNDERPREPARED.

I JUST GOT THE TESTS BACK.

I THOUGHT
YOU'D WANT TO KNOW.

HMM.

THE PAIN WE SUSPECTED
MIGHT INDICATE

A RECURRENCE
OF THE LYMPHOMA

APPEARS TO BE DUE
TO THE RAPID REGROWTH

OF YOUR BONE MARROW
ELEMENTS.

THAT'S WONDERFUL.

ISN'T IT?

IN FACT,

THE LYMPHOMA CELLS APPEAR
TO BE DECREASING SIGNIFICANTLY.

EMILY,
YOU'RE ENTERING REMISSION.

NOW, THESE ARE
ONLY PRELIMINARY TESTS.

YOUR BLOOD PANELS
WILL TELL US MORE, BUT...

ARVIN?

OH, GOD.

[ SOBS ]

OH.

ALPHA TEAM POSITION.

SLOANE WANTS SARK ALIVE.

THERE'S NOTHING HERE
BUT MEDICAL EQUIPMENT.

BLOOD BAGS, PUMP --

THE SON OF A BITCH
HAD A TRANSFUSION.

[ OFF-HOOK TELEPHONE BEEPING ]

[ KNOCK ON DOOR ]

OH, YEAH.

30 MINUTES OR LESS.
