Alias (2001–2006): Season 2, Episode 16 - Firebomb - full transcript

Will:
PREVIOUSLY ON "ALIAS"...

Man:
THE PROSTHETICS I'LL APPLY

ARE LINED
WITH A CARBON POWDER.

THE SYSTEM'S DATABASE
WON'T FIND A MATCH.

WELL, THEN LET'S BEGIN.

YOU'VE CLEARED THEIR SYSTEM.

Sydney:
WE'RE UNITED STATES AGENTS.

LOCK DOWN YOUR VAULT.
YOU'RE BEING ROBBED.

SLOANE!

HOLD YOUR FIRE!

WE'VE RIGGED THE LOWER LEVEL
WITH ENOUGH C-4



TO LEVEL THE ENTIRE
CITY BLOCK,

SO I SUGGEST THAT YOU BOTH
LOWER YOUR GUNS.

YOU, MY DEAR,

YOU'LL BE DRIVING ME
OUT OF HERE.

[ SIRENS WAILING ]

Michael: STAND DOWN.

[ SPEAKS GERMAN ]

LET AGENT BRISTOW
LEAVE WITH THE SUSPECT.

HE'S HOLDING THE DETONATOR,
AND WE HAVE A CLEAR SHOT.

NO. YOU MAKE ONE MOVE,
AND ONE OF HIS OPERATIVES

WILL DETONATE
THE EXPLOSIVES.

HE'S GOT THE AREA UNDER
SATELLITE SURVEILLANCE.

THAT MEANS
LET SLOANE GO

AND DON'T TAIL HIM UNTIL
WE GET THIS STUFF DEFUSED.



[ HELICOPTER WHIRRING ]

[ SPEAKS GERMAN ]

THERE'S A CURRENT
RUNNING THROUGH HERE.

IF WE CLIP THE WIRES,
WE BREAK THE CIRCUIT.

THERE'S A FAIL-SAFE.

THE ONLY WAY
TO TAKE THIS OUT

IS TO DISRUPT
THE ELECTRONICS.

WE NEED A WATER CANNON.

THE REMOTE DETONATOR
OPERATES ON A RADIO FREQUENCY.

WOULDN'T IT BE FASTER
TO FIND OUT

WHAT THAT FREQUENCY IS
AND JUST JAM IT?

YES, BUT ACCESSING
THE FREQUENCY

MIGHT TRIGGER AN EXPLOSION.

THERE'S GOT TO BE A WAY
TO BLOCK IT.

NOT UNLESS
YOU HAVE SOME WAY

TO ENCASE A DETONATOR
IN CONCRETE.

THIS IS AGENT VAUGHN.
GET ME THE BANK MANAGER NOW.

I TOLD YOU NOT TO COME
AFTER ME, SYDNEY.

I WARNED YOU
THAT I WILL KILL YOU

IF YOU INTERFERE.

IF YOU KNEW
WHAT I HAVE IN HERE,

IF YOU KNEW
WHAT MY PLANS ARE...

THIS IS BIGGER
THAN SD-6, SYDNEY,

THAN THE CIA,

THAN YOU
BEING DECEIVED BY ME,

THAN ME BEING BETRAYED
BY YOU.

IF THINGS
WERE DIFFERENT...

THE SAFE --
IT'S A FRIEDLIN MODEL 42-C.

OKAY, FRIEDLIN.

FRIEDLIN, FRIEDLIN,
FRIEDLIN NUMBER 9.

FRIEDLIN...
OKAY, GOT IT.

CONSTRUCTED WITH 3 INCHES
OF HIGH-DENSITY CONCRETE

SURROUNDED
BY HEAVY GAUGE STEEL.

WILL IT BLOCK THE SIGNAL?
I DON'T KNOW.
THAT DEPENDS ON THE DETONATOR.

HOW BIG'S THE ANTENNA?

AN INCH, INCH AND A HALF.

THAT MEANS IT'S PROBABLY
TRANSMITTING AT, UH...

DIVIDED BY THE SPEED OF LIGHT
TIMES 1/4.

MARSHALL!
3 GIGAHERTZ,
WHICH MEANS YOU SHOULD HAVE

ENOUGH SHIELDING SO THE SIGNAL
CAN'T GET THROUGH.

SHOULD HAVE OR HAVE?
HAVE.

THANK YOU. TELL KENDALL
TO START TRACKING SYDNEY

IN FIVE MINUTES.
SHE'LL BE IN A FORD FOCUS.

YOU KNOW WHAT MODEL?
ZX5.

WHAT COLOR?
BLUE. WHY?

UH, NO, I WAS JUST CURIOUS.

I WAS THINKING ABOUT
GETTING ONE MYSELF, YOU KNOW.
[ HANGS UP ]

LOWER IT A LITTLE,
GET SOME BIG TIRES, RIMS --

GOLD RIMS. AND --

HELLO?

[ DEVICE BEEPING ]

SYD?

WE SHIELDED THE DETONATOR.
THE BOMB CAN'T BE TRIGGERED.

A TEAM WILL INTERCEPT
YOUR CAR IN FIVE MINUTES.

CHANGE OF PLANS.

E.T.A. -- FIVE MINUTES.

Sydney: THE CIA
HAS A HIT LIST --

35 PEOPLE WORLDWIDE

ITS AGENTS
ARE ALLOWED TO KILL.

35 OUT OF 6 BILLION.

YOU'RE ONE OF THEM.

WHICH MEANS
WHEN I KILL YOU,

I WON'T EVEN BE
BREAKING THE LAW.

YOU JUMP, YOU DIE!

Kendall:
OFFICIALS WITH AMCORP

ARE HIDING BEHIND
SWISS BANKING LAWS

TO AVOID TELLING US WHAT
SLOANE STOLE FROM THE BANK.

FOR THE MOMENT
HIS TRAIL'S GONE COLD.

IN OTHER WORDS,
WE DON'T HAVE A PLAN.

I MEAN, THAT'S TRUE, ISN'T IT?
WE'VE GOT NOTHING.

MAY I REMIND YOU,
MISS BRISTOW,

THAT SLOANE WAS LAST SEEN
IN YOUR CUSTODY?

I WAS IN HIS CUSTODY.
HE WAS HOLDING HOSTAGES.

YOU HAD THE OPTION
TO TAKE HIM OUT.

YOU CHOSE
NOT TO EXERCISE IT.

I CHOSE NOT TO INCINERATE
300 INNOCENT PEOPLE.

ARE YOU TELLING ME YOU THINK
I MADE THE WRONG CHOICE?

OKAY, 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.

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 HAD HIM BY NOW.

OUR SATELLITES WERE TASKED
ELSEWHERE AT THE TIME.

THAT'S MY POINT. WE DIDN'T TAKE
ADVANTAGE OF THE SITUATION.

NO, WE PRIORITIZED.

WHAT'S THE POINT OF STRATEGIZING
IF WE'RE NOT WILLING --

WE'RE DOING EVERYTHING
WE CAN DO!
NO, WE'RE NOT!

NOT EVEN CLOSE.

I NEED A PROGRESS REPORT.

CAPLAN SAYS
HE'S A DAY AWAY.

WE TOOK THE MAGNETOMETER
FROM AMCORP

TO EXPEDITE THE CONSTRUCTION
OF THE RAMBALDI DEVICE.

MY FLIGHT IS
THE DAY AFTER TOMORROW.

IT NEEDS TO BE COMPLETED
BEFORE THEN.

I BELIEVE CAPLAN TO BE
A MAN OF HIS WORD.

MR. CAPLAN
IS ONLY ASSISTING US

BECAUSE HE BELIEVES WE'RE
HOLDING HIS FAMILY HOSTAGE.

IF WHAT HE'S PUTTING TOGETHER
IS AS POWERFUL

AS I BELIEVE IT TO BE,
I DON'T WANT HIM

ANYWHERE NEAR IT
WHEN IT'S OPERATIONAL.

I'LL CONDUCT THE PRELIMINARY
TEST MYSELF.

YOU DO THAT...BY TOMORROW.

[ Laughing ]
I LOVE THE ZAMBONI.

ZAMBONI'S
YOUR FAVORITE PART?

NO, COMING HOME WITH YOU
AFTER THE GAME

IS MY FAVORITE PART.

ZAMBONI WAS A CLOSE SECOND.

[ CELLULAR PHONE RINGS ]

HELLO?

HEY. KENDALL HAS SOMETHING
HE WANTS TO SHOW YOU.

UH, CAN IT WAIT?

APPARENTLY NOT.

HE WANTS SYDNEY, TOO.
ARE YOU WITH HER?

UH, NO.
I HAVEN'T SEEN HER.

YOU'RE IN BED WITH HER
RIGHT NOW, AREN'T YOU?

I'M TRYING.
JUST FIND OUT WHAT HE WANTS.

KENDALL?

Michael's voice: ZAMBONI'S
YOUR FAVORITE PART?

COULD YOU AT LEAST TRY
AND PAY ATTENTION?

VAUGHN, CAN YOU HEAR ME?

Sydney's voice: NO,
COMING HOME WITH YOU

AFTER THE GAME
IS MY FAVORITE PART.

[ KISS ]

Weiss: VAUGHN.

ZAMBONI
WAS A CLOSE SECOND.

WE'LL BE THERE SOON.

Jack: A CLEANING CREW
IS ON NOTICE

TO SWEEP THE APARTMENT
A.S.A.P.

I DON'T UNDERSTAND. HOW CAN
THE APARTMENT BE BUGGED?

I HAVE COUNTERMEASURES.

WILL AND I TALK THERE SOMETIMES
ABOUT WORK.

HE NEEDS TO BE TOLD.

ALREADY BEING HANDLED.

WE NEED TO KNOW WHO YOU'VE
SPOKEN WITH, WHAT WAS SAID,

AND WHAT INTELLIGENCE
MIGHT HAVE BEEN COMPROMISED.

PLUS YOU NEED TO COMPILE
A LIST OF EVERY PERSON,

FRIEND, SERVICEMAN,
DELIVERY GUY, MAILMAN

WHO HAS BEEN IN OR OUT
OF THE APARTMENT.

KENDALL'S WAITING FOR YOU.
I'LL TAKE THIS TO ANALYSIS.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN,
YOU BUGGED THE APARTMENT?

WELL, IT'S NOT LIKE
I BROKE IN

AND PLANTED IT MYSELF.

I MADE IT.

HERE, IF YOU TAKE A LOOK
RIGHT THERE,

I SOLDERED
INTO THE CIRCUIT BOARD.

CAN YOU SEE THAT?
WHAT IS THAT?

IT'S A SUPERMAN LOGO,

EXCEPT THIS ONE'S GOT
AN "M" ON IT.

IT'S KIND OF MY SIGNATURE.

UM, WHEN I USED TO WORK
AT SD-6,

I MADE IT SPECIAL
FOR SLOANE.

IT OPERATES USING AN MD-14
DATA ADAPTER

WHICH CLOAKS THE SIGNAL,

MAKING IT UNDETECTABLE
BY BUG KILLERS.

I KNOW. I KNOW --
I'M THAT GOOD...

UH, WHICH IS BAD.

VAUGHN SAID HE HEARD IT
REPEAT HIS CONVERSATION

THROUGH HIS CELL PHONE.

RIGHT, WELL, THIS IS
A BURST TRANSMITTER.

IT PERIODICALLY TRANSMITS
WHAT IT'S RECORDED

TO A RECEIVER.

CAN YOU REVERSE ENGINEER
THE SIGNAL,

FIND OUT
WHERE THE CONVERSATIONS

WERE BEING TRANSMITTED TO?

UH, WELL,
IF THE TRANSMITTER RECORDS

THE PHONE NUMBER THAT IT SENDS
THE CONVERSATIONS TO,

YEAH, I GUESS
THAT IT'S POSSIBLE.

THEN DO IT.

"PLEASE" WOULD BE NICE.

THAT'S ALL RIGHT.
NEVER MIND.

CAPLAN FINISHED
EARLIER THIS MORNING.

THE RAMBALDI DEVICE IS COMPLETE.
I RAN THE TEST.

I THINK YOU'LL BE PLEASED
WITH THE RESULTS.

WHEN WE AGREED TO COMBINE
OUR RESOURCES, SIR,

YOU PROMISED YOU'D SHOW ME
INCREDIBLE THINGS.

BUT A SUITCASE NEUTRON BOMB

DESIGNED
IN THE 16th CENTURY --

IS THAT EVEN A THEORETICAL
POSSIBILITY?

[ SPEAKING PASHTU ]

[ SPEAKS PASHTU ]

FORGIVE THE MODE
OF TRANSPORTATION,

BUT A PERSON IN MY POSITION
CANNOT BE TOO CAUTIOUS.

I UNDERSTAND.

OUR MUTUAL FRIEND
MR. DREYFUS --

HE SENDS HIS RESPECTS.

LET ME PAY YOU THE COURTESY
OF BEING BLUNT.

I DON'T DO BUSINESS
WITH AMERICANS.

I'M A MAN WITH NO COUNTRY

AND FEW ALLIANCES.

ALL I HAVE IS A VISION
OF AN ENTERPRISE

THAT WILL INFLUENCE
AN EXISTING WORLD ORDER

THAT I BELIEVE
TO BE CORRUPT.

I'M LOOKING FOR PARTNERS
WHO SHARE THAT VIEW.

I AM BUT A HUMBLE SHEPHERD.

WHOSE CONTROL
OF THE OPIUM TRADE

ALONG THE SILK ROAD
IS WORTH

HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS
OF DOLLARS.

IN THIS PART OF THE WORLD,

IT'S BETTER TO BE PRACTICAL
THAN VISIONARY.

WHY SHOULD I INVEST
IN YOUR ENTERPRISE?

AH, THAT, MY FRIEND,
IS A LONG DISCUSSION.

FIRST, A GIFT.

IT ONCE BELONGED
TO KHUSHAL KHAN KHATTAK,

THE GREAT 17th CENTURY
WARRIOR-POET.

HE UNITED OUR LANDS

AND IS A HERO
TO MY PEOPLE.

THIS IS A TREASURE.

TELL ME MORE ABOUT
WHAT YOU HAVE PLANNED.

[ MUSIC PLAYING ]

HEY.

SO, HOW'S IT GOING?

I'M GOOD.

NO, I MEAN ABOUT WILL.

IS THIS GONNA TURN INTO
A THING?

WHAT'S GOING ON?

HAVE YOU SLEPT WITH HIM?

NO, NOT YET.

WILL HASN'T SAID A THING.

HE CAN'T EVEN LOOK AT ME
ANYMORE,

HE'S SO FREAKED OUT.

YOU KNOW, SYDNEY,
YOU'VE BEEN ACTING

SORT OF WEIRD LATELY.

REALLY?

AND I THOUGHT YOU'D BEEN
ACTING WEIRD.

I THOUGHT MAYBE IT WAS
BECAUSE OF WILL.

YOU DON'T TALK TO ME
ANYMORE.

I'M SORRY, FRANCIE.

I JUST GET SO CAUGHT UP
IN WORK.

DON'T FORGET --

WE USED TO BE
REALLY GOOD FRIENDS.

YOU CAN TALK TO ME.

[ TELEPHONE RINGS ]

HELLO?

GET IN HERE NOW.

OKAY.

WHO WAS THAT?

SOMEONE FROM THE BANK.

THERE'S A PROBLEM
WITH A CLIENT IN TOKYO.

I HAVE TO GO IN.

SEE YOU.

Sark:
HELLO?

THEY FOUND THE BUGS.

HOW SHOULD I PROCEED?

THEY'LL BE LOOKING
FOR OUR L.A. ASSET.

GIVE THEM SOMEONE.

I'LL TAKE CARE OF IT.

SEND A COPY OF THAT
TO KENDALL.

VAUGHN, IS IT SLOANE?

DID MARSHALL
GET A LOCATION

BY REVERSE ENGINEERING
THE BUG?

IT WORKS ON AN ENCRYPTED FEED.
IT WAS UNTRACEABLE.

BUT WE GOT A LEAD ON SLOANE
ANOTHER WAY.

AN ASSET OUTSIDE KANDAHAR
REPORTED SEEING

SOMEONE MATCHING SLOANE'S
DESCRIPTION

IN THE COMPANY OF MEN
LOYAL TO AHMAD KABIR,

THE PASHTUN WARLORD WHO PLAYED
FOOTSIE WITH THE TALIBAN.

WHEN THEY RAN, SO DID HE,

EXCEPT WE DON'T KNOW
EXACTLY WHERE.

WE BELIEVE KABIR'S MEN
TOOK SLOANE SOMEWHERE

IN THE HELMAND VALLEY.

LAST YEAR, SLOANE ASSIGNED
AN SD-6 AGENT

TO INFILTRATE KABIR'S
HELMAND OPERATION

AND INTERCEPT
ROUTING INFORMATION

REGARDING A SHIPMENT OF SOVIET
SURFACE-TO-AIR MISSILES.

SLOANE STOLE
A SHIPMENT OF MISSILES

FROM KABIR,
BUT NOW THEY'RE MEETING?

WHAT AM I MISSING?

KABIR HAS NO IDEA
WHO SLOANE IS.

THE AGENT HE ASSIGNED
GOT IN AND OUT UNDETECTED.

WHO WAS THE AGENT?

MARCUS DIXON.

NONE OF THE RECORDS
WE ACQUIRED FROM SD-6

DETAIL THAT MISSION,

AND EVERYTHING THAT JACK KNOWS,
NOW YOU KNOW.

THE ONLY PERSON WHO CAN
HELP US IS DIXON.

WHO HAS MADE IT CLEAR
THAT HE HAS NO INTEREST

IN COOPERATING WITH US.

WELL, YOU'RE JUST GONNA HAVE
TO CHANGE HIS MIND.

I WANT A FULL BRIEFING
ON KABIR BY OUR ANALYSTS.

I DON'T THINK YOU APPRECIATE
DIXON'S SENSE OF BETRAYAL.

CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG,
AGENT BRISTOW,

BUT ONLY YESTERDAY
YOU WERE STANDING HERE

COMPLAINING THAT WE'RE NOT
DOING ENOUGH TO FIND SLOANE.

IF YOU DO NOTHING
AND WE LOSE HIM THIS TIME,

YOU'LL HAVE ONLY YOURSELF
TO BLAME.

MARCUS DOESN'T WANT
TO SEE YOU.

AND FOR WHAT IT'S WORTH,
NEITHER DO I.

I KNOW, DIANE. I DO.

I PROMISE YOU
I WOULDN'T BE HERE

IF IT WASN'T IMPORTANT.

WHAT GOOD
ARE YOUR PROMISES?

RIGHT.

HELLO, SYDNEY.

HI.

I NEED SOME INFORMATION.

I CAN'T HELP YOU.
LOOK, FIVE MINUTES.

ALL I NEED IS A LOCATION.
HE SAID NO.

LOOK, IT CAN MEAN
THE END OF SLOANE.

SLOANE'S WITH AHMAD KABIR.

ALL I NEED TO KNOW IS WHERE
KABIR OPERATES FROM.

THESE ARE BAD PEOPLE.
THEY NEED TO BE STOPPED.

NOT BY MY HUSBAND,
THEY DON'T.

THE AGENCY MIGHT TRY
TO COMPEL YOU

TO TELL THEM WHAT YOU KNOW.

IF THEY DO, I'LL TELL THEM
WHAT I'M TELLING YOU.

WE'VE MADE A DECISION
AS A FAMILY TO MOVE ON.

DO YOU OWN A SUIT?

A SUIT? YEAH. UH, ONE.

PUT IT ON.
WHY? WHY? WHAT'S GOING ON?

YOU'VE ONLY BEEN DOING
ANALYSIS A SHORT TIME,

BUT YOUR WRITTEN BRIEFS
ARE GOOD.

ONE OF THEM,
ON AHMAD KABIR --

THE DIRECTOR WANTS
AN ORAL PRESENTATION.

WAIT, WAIT.

AN ORAL -- LIKE IN PERSON?

YEAH, JUST GIVE HIM
TALKING POINTS.

IT'S NOT REALLY A REQUEST.
I'M A WRITER.
I DON'T TALK, I WRITE.

IT'S PART OF YOUR JOB.

DO YOU KNOW
SAMMY'S RED HOTS?

SURE, SANTA MONICA
AND 17th.

YEAH.
BE THERE IN ONE HOUR.

ORDER THE SPECIAL,
NO PICKLES.
I LIKE PICKLES.

YOU'LL BE LED OUT BACK,
WHERE A WINDOWLESS VAN

WILL BE WAITING TO TAKE YOU
TO OPERATIONS.

I'M GOING TO BE TALKING
TO THE DIRECTOR.

IS THAT A BIG DEAL?

YEAH.

OH, GOD.

IT'S FROM
THE 16th CENTURY.

MM.

IT IS A CARVING
OF AN ARHAT --

A WORTHY ONE.

IN BUDDHIST TRADITION,

AN ARHAT IS THE DESTROYER
OF THE ENEMY.

HOW IS IT YOU KNOW
SO MUCH?

I'M A COLLECTOR.

THIS PIECE IS VERY SPECIAL.

YOU WANT A PARTNER,

SOMEONE TO INVEST

IN AN INCREDIBLY AMBITIOUS
GLOBAL ENTERPRISE

WHICH IS AT BEST
A RISKY PROPOSITION.

WHAT YOU OFFER
IN EXCHANGE --

TO BE MY --

TO BE MY ARHAT.

I NEED SOME ASSURANCE
THAT YOU CAN DELIVER

ON THAT PROMISE.

OH, NATURALLY.

AND THAT'S WHY
I'M FULLY PREPARED

TO GIVE YOU
A DEMONSTRATION.

I LEAVE IT TO YOU
TO CHOOSE THE TARGET.

Michael: NO SUIT, HUH?

WELL, IT'S BEEN A WHILE
SINCE I TRIED IT ON --

OR WORKED OUT,
APPARENTLY --

WHICH MAKES ME OVERWHELMED
AND FAT.

WILL TIPPIN, PROFESSORS
JOYCE AND FLEMING.

THEY FLEW IN LAST NIGHT
FROM THE KENNEDY SCHOOL.

I'LL GO TELL THE OTHERS
WE'RE READY.

Will: THE KENNEDY SCHOOL?
WHERE IS THAT?

HARVARD.

THAT'S RIGHT.

OUR OBJECTIVE TODAY
IS SIMPLE --

TO IDENTIFY A PERSON
OR PERSONS

WHO CAN GIVE US
THE EXACT LOCATION

OF AHMAD KABIR'S
HELMAND VALLEY OPERATION.

DESPITE THE AMERICAN-BACKED
GOVERNMENT,

THE GEOPOLITICAL REALITY
OF AFGHANISTAN

IS THAT IT'S STILL DEFINED
BY ETHNIC RIVALRIES.

THE SIMPLEST WAY TO FIND
A PASHTUN LIKE KABIR

IS TO FIRST FIND AN ENEMY
WILLING TO SELL HIM OUT.

SHARIF RABANI IS ON RECORD

AS ACCUSING KABIR'S
PASHTUN SUPPORTERS

OF ENGAGING
IN ETHNIC CLEANSING.

I'M SURE WE'LL HAVE NO PROBLEM
GETTING HIM TO LEAD US TO HIM.

THEN WHY HASN'T HE?

WELL, THE POINT IS, YEAH,
THEY HATE EACH OTHER,

BUT THEY PROBABLY
HATE US MORE.

I MEAN, SINCE 9/11,
HAVEN'T WE PAID GUYS LIKE THIS

MILLIONS OF DOLLARS
FOR INFORMATION

AND GOTTEN ALMOST NOTHING
IN RETURN?

ARE YOU PREPARED TO MAKE
AN ALTERNATE RECOMMENDATION?

YES, ACTUALLY, I AM.

ALL I HAVE
ARE THESE PHOTOGRAPHS.

SYDNEY.

THIS WOMAN'S NAME
IS ALIA GIZABI.

SHE'S MARRIED
TO AN ADMINISTRATOR

WITH THE VATICAN EMBASSY
IN MEXICO CITY.

ALIA GIZABI USED TO BE
ALIA KABIR.

SHE'S KABIR'S EX-WIFE.

SINCE THE TALIBAN GOT BOOTED,

A WOMAN CAN HAVE
HER MARRIAGE ANNULLED

IF IT'S DETERMINED
THAT SHE WAS FORCED

OR SOLD INTO THAT MARRIAGE
AGAINST HER WILL,

ACCORDING TO COURT RECORDS.

YOU FOUND COURT RECORDS?
YEAH. YEAH, THEY'RE PUBLISHED
ON THE NET.

I REALIZE THAT THERE'S NOTHING

GEOPOLITICALLY CORRECT
ABOUT MY ANALYSIS,

BUT IN THE "HELL HATH NO FURY"
DEPARTMENT,

I FIGURE THIS WOMAN WOULD
PAY US TO MESS WITH HER EX.

I MEAN, SHE HATES HIM SO MUCH
THAT SHE SENT THEIR SON

INTO HIDING
WITH HER RELATIVES.

I'LL GET YOU
THAT WEB ADDRESS.

YOU SHOULD CHECK IT OUT.

OKAY, I'LL ALERT

OUR STATION CHIEF
IN MEXICO CITY.

VAUGHN AND BRISTOW,
YOU WILL LEAVE IN ONE HOUR.

WE NEED TO PROTECT
THIS WOMAN.

NO ONE CAN KNOW
THE CIA'S CONTACTED HER.

YOU'RE GOING
UNDER AN ALIAS.

Sloane: KABIR
HAS CHOSEN A TARGET --

HIS EX-WIFE.

WE'RE USING THE DEVICE
ON ALIA GIZABI?

YOU'LL BE BRIEFED
EN ROUTE TO MEXICO CITY.

YOU LEAVE AT ONCE.

[ BELLS CHIMING ]

[ DEVICE BEEPING ]

SURVEILLANCE CONFIRMS

GIZABI'S
IN THE ADMINISTRATIVE WING

ADJACENT TO THE CHURCH.

NOW, ACCORDING
TO CAPLAN'S CALCULATIONS

OF THE RUNNING
REQUIREMENTS,

WE'LL NEED
20 MILLION WATTS

TO REACH THAT SECTION
OF THE BUILDING.

20% OF ITS CAPACITY.

YES, THAT SHOULD GIVE US

COVERAGE
OF THE ENTIRE EMBASSY.

BUT, SIR, IF CAPLAN'S OFF
BY EVEN A MICROTESLA,

THIS COULD GO VERY WRONG.

DO IT.

THAT'S EASY
FOR YOU TO SAY, SIR.

YOU'RE 8,000 MILES AWAY.

I'LL WAIT
TO HEAR FROM YOU.

I'M APPROACHING
THE STEPS.

SEÑORA.

I'M IN.

ALL RIGHT, GIZABI
WORKS ON THE FIRST FLOOR.

[ CRICKETS CHIRPING ]

[ WHIRRING AND BEEPING ]

CAN I HELP YOU?

I'M NOT HERE
TO HURT YOU.

I WORK
FOR AMERICAN INTELLIGENCE.

I NEED SOME INFORMATION
ABOUT YOUR EX-HUSBAND.

I KNOW YOU'RE WORRIED
ABOUT RETRIBUTION

FOR LEAVING HIM
AND TAKING HIS SON.

THAT'S WHY I'VE COME
IN SECRET.

NO ONE KNOWS I'M HERE.

NO ONE WILL EVER KNOW
THAT YOU'VE TALKED WITH ME.

I'M SEARCHING FOR A MAN --
A HORRIBLE, DANGEROUS MAN.

HE IS WITH
YOUR EX-HUSBAND

AT HIS RESIDENCE
IN THE HELMAND VALLEY.

I NEED TO KNOW
EXACTLY WHERE THAT IS.

Eric: VAUGHN?
CAN YOU HEAR ME? VAUGHN?

YEAH, WHAT IS IT?
WHAT'S WRONG?

WE JUST HAD AN ECHELON
INTERCEPT.

KEY WORDS WERE PICKED UP --

"TERRORIST,"
"WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION."

BUT YOU READY FOR THIS?
"RAMBALDI."

DID YOU GET COORDINATES?

YEAH. YOURS. WE DON'T KNOW
WHEN IT'S HAPPENING,

BUT YOU'RE NOT WAITING THERE
FOR US TO FIND OUT.

GET OUT NOW.

I CANNOT HELP YOU.

Michael: SYDNEY, WE HAVE
TO GET OUT OF HERE NOW.

THERE'S GOING TO BE
SOME SORT OF AN ATTACK --

A CAR BOMB, A SUICIDE BOMB,
I DON'T KNOW.

BUT I'M ALERTING
THE EMBASSY.

THEY'RE GOING TO START
AN EVACUATION.

THERE'S A DOOR AT THE END
OF THE ADMINISTRATION CORRIDOR.

MEET ME THERE.
YOU HAVE TO COME WITH ME.
IT'S FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY.

I TOLD YOU.
I WON'T HELP.

[ SPEAKING SPANISH ]

POR FAVOR.

[ WHIRRING ]

ARE YOU SEEING THIS?
WE PICKED UP A HOT SPOT.
WHERE?

IT'S DIRECTLY BEHIND YOU.
IT'S HUGE.

WHAT? WHAT IS IT?

SOME KIND OF A FIRE.
SOMETHING BURNING.

NO, LISTEN TO ME,
LISTEN TO ME.

IT'S THIS INFERNO,
AND IT'S RIGHT BEHIND YOU.

YOU DON'T SEE IT?
THERE'S NOTHING.

IS HE SEEING PEOPLE,
BUILDINGS, WHAT?

WAIT, WAIT, WAIT.
WHOA, WHOA, WHOA, WHOA.

IT DISAPPEARED.
IT'S GONE.

GONE?
WHAT DO YOU MEAN, GONE?

I DON'T KNOW. IT JUST --
IT DISAPPEARED.

LET'S GO BACK.

I'LL TELL YOU
WHERE TO FIND MY HUSBAND.

Man: 62 PEOPLE
ARE CONFIRMED DEAD

IN WHAT GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS
ARE CALLING

THE WORST ACT OF TERRORISM
IN MEXICO CITY IN A DECADE.

SOME PEOPLE DESCRIBE IT
AS AN ACT OF GOD.

THE LOCAL OFFICIALS
ARE NOT RELEASING

ANY MORE INFORMATION
AT THIS POINT.

ALL OF THE VICTIMS
WERE INCINERATED

BEYOND RECOGNITION.

ABSENT
POSITIVE IDENTIFICATION,

A LIST OF PRESUMED DEAD
WAS PUBLISHED.

YOUR EX IS ON THE LIST.

WHAT IS THIS?

A SMALL TOKEN
OF APPRECIATION.

NO.

NO, THIS IS TOO MUCH.

I CANNOT ACCEPT THIS.

I SAW YOU ADMIRE IT,
AND DESERVEDLY SO.

YOU HAVE DESTROYED
MY ENEMY.

YOU ARE IN EVERY WAY
MY ARHAT.

I WILL HAVE $40 MILLION
WIRED TOMORROW

TO THE ACCOUNT
OF YOUR CHOOSING.

Kendall: VIDEO SURVEILLANCE
PLACES SARK

AT THE SCENE OF THE ATTACK
IN MEXICO CITY.

SUBSEQUENT TO THE ATTACK,

INTEL TRACKED HIM
AS FAR AS KABUL.

HERE'S WHAT WE CAN ASSUME.

SLOANE DISPATCHED SARK
TO CARRY OUT HIS MISSION.

NOW THAT IT'S COMPLETE,
SARK HAS RETURNED TO HIS MASTER.

AND THANKS TO MS. GIZABI,
WE NOW KNOW WHERE THAT IS.

THE PLAN IS FOR YOU TO LEAD
A TACTICAL UNIT

INTO THE HELMAND.

YOU'LL PARACHUTE
INTO THE COMPOUND,

AFFECT A ROOF ACCESS,
DISABLE THE WEAPON,

AND SIGNAL FOR BACKUP.

YOU KNOW HOW PEOPLE
ARE DESCRIBING IT, DON'T YOU?

THEY'RE CALLING IT
A DOOMSDAY DEVICE,

SAYING IT'S THE FIRST SIGN
OF THE COMING ARMAGEDDON,

LIKE THE DEVIL HIMSELF ROSE UP
TO ATTACK THAT CHURCH.

UM, EXCUSE ME, IF I MAY OFFER
A SCIENTIFIC EXPLANATION,

I THINK IT MIGHT, UH,
HELP THE, UH...

AHEM.

HI, EVERYBODY.
IT'S GOOD TO --

THAT'S A REALLY NICE --

OKAY, COME ON.

RIGHT.

WHAT WE'RE DEALING WITH

IS A HIGH-ENERGY
PULSE WEAPON.

NOW, THANKS
TO AN ECHELON INTERCEPT,

WE WERE ABLE TO RETASK
A KH-12 SATELLITE

OVER THE AREA,
AND THIS WAS WHAT WE FOUND.

OKAY, THE BLUE DOTS --

THOSE ARE THE PEOPLE
IN THE CHURCH BEFORE.

NOW, THIS IS WHAT
THE INFRARED PICKED UP AFTER.

THE BODY TEMPERATURE

OF EVERYONE
IN THE AFFECTED AREA

INCREASED
BY OVER 2,000 DEGREES.

THEY LITERALLY MELTED
FROM THE INSIDE OUT.

AND NOTHING ELSE
IN THE CHURCH WAS AFFECTED?

WELL, THAT'S BECAUSE
IT WORKS LIKE A MICROWAVE.

IT EXCITES WATER
AND FAT MOLECULES

WHICH DON'T EXIST
IN INORGANIC MATERIALS,

AND THEN IT CONVERTS THEM
INTO ATOMIC MOTION, OR HEAT.

YOU SAID EVERYONE
IN THE RADIUS WAS AFFECTED,

EVEN PEOPLE WHO WERE
TAKING COVER?

YEAH, WELL,
THERE'S NO DEFENSE

AGAINST
THIS KIND OF ENERGY.

IT GOES THROUGH WALLS,
CONCRETE, STEEL, EVERYTHING.

THERE'S NO SHIELD?

NO. SORRY.

OH, UM, I SHOULD
PROBABLY ALSO TELL YOU

THAT, UM,
THIS KIND OF ENERGY

KNOCKS OUT COMPUTER CIRCUITRY,
WHICH MEANS

IF IT'S POINTED AT THE SKY,
IT COULD TAKE DOWN PLANES.

Jack: WHAT CONCERNS ME
IS THAT SLOANE KNOWS

THIS KIND OF USE OF FORCE
IS A DELIBERATE PROVOCATION

THAT DEMANDS A SWIFT RESPONSE,
AND YET HE EXERCISED IT

ON THE EX-WIFE
OF A PETTY WARLORD.

WHY?

I GOT THE INVENTORY
BACK FROM THE CLEANERS.

THEY FOUND AUDIO
AND VIDEO TRANSMITTERS,

ALL NEXT GEN STUFF.

VIDEO?

YEAH, IN THE TV
IN YOUR BEDROOM.

Jack: WE'RE INVESTIGATING
EVERYONE YOU'VE LISTED

WHO'S BEEN
IN YOUR APARTMENT.

SO FAR THEY'RE ALL CLEAN.

[ CELLULAR PHONE RINGS ]
Francie: HELLO?

Sydney: HEY, IT'S ME.
HEY.

I KNOW WE HAD PLANS
FOR TONIGHT,

BUT I HAVE TO WORK.

WHAT YOU HAVE TO DO
IS QUIT THAT JOB OF YOURS.

FRAN, I'M SORRY.

IT'S OKAY.

THE TRUTH IS,
I PROBABLY WASN'T

GOING TO BE ABLE
TO MAKE IT ANYWAY.

SO YOU DON'T WANT
TO KILL ME?

NO, OF COURSE NOT.

HEY, YOU KNOW, CAN WE TALK
ABOUT THIS LATER?

I'M KIND OF IN THE MIDDLE
OF SOMETHING.

YEAH, YEAH,
I'LL CALL YOU LATER.

BYE.

OKAY, UM, YOU REMEMBER
THAT MOVIE "PREDATOR,"

WHEN SCHWARZENEGGER
WAS BEING CHASED

BY THAT CRAB WHO COULD
ONLY SEE IN THERMAL?

NO.

NO? YOU NEVER SAW THAT?
IT WAS A GREAT MOVIE.

SCHWARZENEGGER -- IT WAS
ONE OF HIS BETTER MOVIES,

BECAUSE "TWINS"...

UM, LISTEN, ANYWAY,
KABIR'S SECURITY CAMERAS,

THEY WORK THE SAME WAY.

THEY READ HEAT SIGNATURES,
WHICH IS KIND OF A PROBLEM,

'CAUSE, WELL,
YOU'RE INCREDIBLY HOT.

SEE? HUH?

NOW, THE SOLUTION
I HAVE DEVISED

IS YOU PARACHUTE
ONTO THE ROOF,

YOU RIP OFF
YOUR TACTICAL GEAR,

AND THEN YOU SLIP ON
THIS BABY.

NOW, IT'S PART
OF A COLD SUIT.

IT'S ALL BLACK,
IT'S FORM-FITTING,

AND IT WILL BRING YOUR BODY
BACK DOWN TO...

ROOM TEMPERATURE.

PUT THESE BABIES ON...
SO, AS LONG AS I'M COVERED,

THE SECURITY CAMERAS
CAN'T SEE ME.

YEAH, YOU'LL BE
THE INVISIBLE WOMAN. SEE?

I'M IN THE EASTERN STAIRS.

ALL RIGHT, GO RIGHT
AT THE BOTTOM.

ACCORDING TO HIS EX, KABIR
KEEPS WEAPONS AND AMMUNITIONS

IN A STORAGE ROOM
AT THE END OF THE HALL.

THERE'S NO DOOR.
WHAT?

WORK'S BEEN DONE.

MAYBE THIS PLACE
WAS BOMBED IN THE WAR

AND HAD TO BE
RECONFIGURED.

MEANING OUR INTEL'S
WORTHLESS.

THERE HAS TO BE
ANOTHER WAY IN.

I'VE BEEN MADE.

SYDNEY'S BEEN COMPROMISED.

YOU HAVE TO ORDER
THE TAC UNIT IN AFTER HER.

DID SHE DEFUSE THE WEAPON?
WHAT DIFFERENCE
DOES THAT MAKE?

KABIR'S BEEN ALERTED. IF HE'S
GOT THE WEAPON, HE'LL USE IT.

ISSUE THE ORDER.

YOU HEARD MARSHALL.
THERE'S NO DEFENSE AGAINST IT.

IF YOU DON'T ISSUE IT,
I WILL.

THE TAC UNIT WOULDN'T
STAND A CHANCE.

WE CAN'T JUST LEAVE HER
THERE.

UNLESS WE CAN FIND
ANOTHER WAY IN,

I'M AFRAID
THAT'S ALL WE CAN DO.

I DON'T THINK WE'VE BEEN
FORMALLY INTRODUCED.

MY NAME'S MICHAEL VAUGHN.
I WORK WITH SYDNEY.

I'M OUT.

SYDNEY'S IN TROUBLE.

RESPECT MY DECISION.

I CAN'T DO THAT,

NOT WHEN YOUR DECISION
MAY COST SYDNEY HER LIFE.

YOU WOULDN'T TELL SYDNEY

HOW YOU INFILTRATED
KABIR'S,

SO SHE FOUND
AN ALTERNATE WAY IN

USING WHAT TURNED OUT
TO BE FAULTY INTEL.

SHE WAS CAPTURED.

AND UNLESS WE FIND ANOTHER
CONFIRMED ACCESS POINT,

NO ONE WILL BE SENT IN
TO GET HER OUT.

IT'S NOT THAT SIMPLE.

YES, IT IS. YOU WILL EITHER
HELP SAVE SYDNEY'S LIFE,

OR YOU WON'T.

PLEASE LEAVE.

I CAN'T DO THAT --

NOT UNTIL I GET
YOUR ANSWER.

Kabir: ADMIT YOU ARE CIA.

SUBMIT TO A VIDEOTAPE
ACKNOWLEDGING YOU ARE HERE

IN VIOLATION
OF INTERNATIONAL LAW.

CONDEMN THE GREAT SATAN,

AND MAYBE I WILL SPARE
YOUR LIFE.

Sloane: SYDNEY, TELL HIM
WHAT HE WANTS TO HEAR...

OR THIS WILL NOT
END WELL.

YOU KNOW,

IN MANY WAYS,

I WILL ALWAYS CONSIDER YOU
MY PROUDEST ACCOMPLISHMENT.

PLEASE, SYDNEY.

UNFORTUNATELY, I CAN'T DO
ANYTHING ABOUT THIS.

[ Whispers ] BYE, SYDNEY.

[ PANTING ]

HAVE YOU RECONSIDERED?

HMM?

ADMITTING YOU ARE CIA.

PERHAPS YOU NEED
A LITTLE INCENTIVE.

ENOUGH.

MY HOUSEGUESTS HAVE LEFT.

IT WOULD SEEM
THERE'S NOTHING MORE

FOR US TO DISCUSS.

THE CARTILAGE THAT LETS
THE KNEECAP SLIDE AROUND

DOES NOT REGENERATE,

WHICH YOU SHOULD KNOW
IN ADVANCE OF THIS.

[ GUNSHOT ]

YOU OKAY?

I DON'T UNDERSTAND.
HOW --

HOW DID YOU FIND
A WAY IN?

LET'S GO.

LET'S GO.
WE GOT THE DEVICE.

SLOANE?

NO.

THIS WAY.

GOOD WORK.

I WAS LUCKY.

YOU GOT THE WEAPON.

WE'VE SAVED
COUNTLESS LIVES.

YEAH.

I DIDN'T GET SLOANE,

OR FIGURE OUT WHAT THE HELL
HE'S DOING WITH KABIR.

WE FOUND THESE ON THE PLUMBER
WHOSE NAME YOU GAVE US.

HE WAS MURDERED.

HE'S EITHER RESPONSIBLE
FOR THE BUGS IN YOUR APARTMENT,

OR HE WAS SET UP.

AT THE MOMENT,
IT'S A DEAD END.

I'M GLAD YOU'RE HOME.
