Alias (2001–2006): Season 2, Episode 2 - Trust Me - full transcript

Man: CIA PROFILE --
AGENT SYDNEY BRISTOW.

OKAY, I'M IN.

AGENT BRISTOW WORKS UNDERCOVER
WITH HER FATHER JACK BRISTOW,

ALSO A DOUBLE AGENT WITH CIA.

GET DOWN!

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

BRISTOW'S CIA CONTACT --
MICHAEL VAUGHN.

MY GUARDIAN ANGEL.

HER CURRENT ASSIGNMENT --
TO INFILTRATE AND DESTROY SD-6,

A SECRET ORGANIZATION
DEALING IN ESPIONAGE,

EXTORTION, WEAPONS SALES,
POSING AS THE CIA.



SD-6 HAS MADE
OVER $400 MILLION

IN ARMS SALES ALONE.

SD-6 DIRECTOR --
ARVIN SLOANE.

THE SANCTITY OF THIS AGENCY
REQUIRES THE SACRIFICE

OF SOME PERSONAL FREEDOMS.

THIS IS NOT ABOUT
CUTTING OFF AN ARM

OF THE MONSTER.

THIS IS ABOUT KILLING
THE MONSTER.

BRISTOW'S MOTHER,
FORMERLY RUSSIAN INTELLIGENCE,

RECENTLY TURNED HERSELF IN
TO THE CIA.

MOM?

INTEL INDICATES
SHE MAY STILL BE AN ENEMY

OF THE UNITED STATES.

THE TRUE LOYALTY
OF AGENT BRISTOW'S MOTHER



REMAINS UNKNOWN.

PREVIOUSLY ON ALIAS...

THE ONLY WAY SD-6
WILL LET YOU LIVE

IS IF YOU DESTROY
THE LIFE YOU'VE GOT.

IF YOU DON'T GO PUBLIC
WITH THIS,

YOU'LL BE A DEAD MAN.

I'M SCARED.

I KNOW.

YOU READY?

ARE YOU SUGGESTING
THAT I KILL MY WIFE?

[ DOGS BARKING ]

[ GUNS COCKING ]

[ TELEPHONE RINGS ]

YEAH?

ON MY WAY.

I'M ASSISTANT DIRECTOR
KENDALL.

I'M TOLD
YOU WANT TO COOPERATE.

[ DOORBELL RINGS ]

Francie:
HEY, MR. BRISTOW.

COME ON IN.

LET ME ASK YOU
A QUESTION.

LET'S SAY YOU'RE HANGING OUT

AT YOUR FAVORITE
NEIGHBORHOOD RESTAURANT,

YOU KNOW,
WITH SOME FRIENDS...

OR WHATEVER.

YOU LIKE TO GO THERE,
YOU LIKE THE FOOD.

WHAT COLOR ARE THE WALLS?

UH, I'M NOT REALLY
INTO INTERIOR DECORATING.

I'LL GET SYD.

[ KNOCK ON DOOR ]

Francie:
SYD, YOUR DAD'S HERE.

OKAY.
UH, I'LL BE RIGHT OUT.

YOU KNOW, TO THE VIETNAMESE
AND CHINESE,

THE COLOR WHITE MEANS
DEATH AND BAD FORTUNE.

TRY RED.

REALLY?

HI.

WILL'S SENTENCING
IS AT 2:00.

I'LL MEET YOU THERE?

YEAH.

DID YOU HEAR ABOUT WILL?

THE STORY HE MADE UP --

HE WAS HIGH
THE WHOLE TIME.

YES, I SAW THAT ON THE NEWS.
UNFORTUNATE.

YOU KNOW WHAT I WANT TO DO
TO THE GUY

WHO INTRODUCED WILL
TO HEROIN?

I WANT TO KILL HIM.

WITH MY HANDS.
I JUST WANT TO KILL HIM.

I CAN IMAGINE.

I'LL SEE YOU
AT THE COURTHOUSE.

AND I'M GOING TO GO
BUY SOME RED PAINT.

I THOUGHT
YOU'D WANT TO KNOW

YOUR MOTHER'S TRANSFER
IS COMPLETE.

SHE'S BEING HELD

AT A JOINT TASK FORCE
FACILITY DOWNTOWN.

THE IDEA THAT THE CIA
IS WILLING TO WORK

WITH IRINA DEREVKO
IS INSANE.

WORSE, IT'S NAIVE.

YOUR MOTHER DIDN'T JUST
CONVENIENTLY TURN HERSELF IN.

THIS IS ALL PART
OF A MANIPULATION.

WELL,
SHE'S THEIR PROBLEM NOW.

SHE'S NOT YOURS,
AND SHE'S NOT MINE.

YOU OKAY?

MY SHOULDER'S HEALING,
IF THAT'S WHAT YOU MEAN.

IT'S NOT, ACTUALLY.

THANKS FOR ASKING.
I'M FINE.

I DON'T SUPPORT
THE DEATH PENALTY,

BUT I HOPE THAT SHE DIES
FOR ALL THAT SHE'S DONE.

I REALLY DO.

ARVIN SLOANE IS A MAN
OF INTEGRITY AND COURAGE.

AS THE HEAD OF SD-6,

HE BRILLIANTLY EXECUTED
ALLIANCE POLICY,

HELPING TO SLOWLY
AND INVISIBLY

SEIZE CONTROL
OF WORLD MARKETS,

GOVERNMENTS,
AND TECHNOLOGY.

NOW, AS THE NEWEST
FULL PARTNER OF THE ALLIANCE,

I FEEL CONFIDENT
THAT HE WILL PLAY A MAJOR PART

IN SHAPING THAT POLICY

FOR YEARS TO COME.

I SPEAK FOR EVERYONE

WHEN I OFFER YOU
MY CONDOLENCES

ON THE PASSING
OF YOUR WIFE.

THANK YOU.

WE RESPECT AND ADMIRE
YOUR WILLINGNESS

TO DO WHAT WAS NECESSARY
IN THAT MATTER.

YOU HAVE BEEN MADE AWARE
OF THE INITIATION PROCEDURE?

I HAVE.

AND THE REASONS FOR IT?

YES.

WELCOME TO THE ALLIANCE.

SLOANE GOT BACK
FROM LONDON LAST NIGHT,

A FULL PARTNER
OF THE ALLIANCE.

EMILY KNEW THE TRUTH.

HER DEATH

AND HIS IMMEDIATELY
BEING LET IN --

I AM CONVINCED
HE KILLED HIS WIFE

TO GET THAT SEAT.

KILLING HIS WIFE
WOULDN'T SURPRISE ME.

EATING HIS WIFE
WOULDN'T SURPRISE ME.

SD-6 AND THE ALLIANCE BELIEVE
THAT MY MOTHER'S IN HIDING.

AND THEY KNOW
THAT KHASINAU'S DEAD.

AND THEY'RE CORRECT
TO ASSUME THAT WHAT'S LEFT

OF HER ORGANIZATION
IS VULNERABLE.

THE ALLIANCE WANTS
WHATEVER ASSETS

THEY CAN GET THEIR HANDS ON.

SO WHERE ARE THEY STARTING?

MY MOTHER
USED BLACKMAIL...

EXTENSIVELY.

IN RUNNING HER OPERATION,

SHE WOULD GET DIRT
ON PEOPLE --

POWERFUL,
IMPORTANT PEOPLE --

AND COERCE THEM INTO DOING
WHATEVER SHE NEEDED.

PORNOGRAPHIC PHOTOGRAPHS,

ILLEGALLY OBTAINED
AUDIO FILES, NAMES, DATES --

THEY'RE ALL ON ONE
COMPUTER DISK.

SO WHAT DOES THE ALLIANCE
WANT, THE DIRT?

TO HEAR SLOANE TELL IT,

IT'S ALL ABOUT
GOD AND COUNTRY.

IT IS OUR OBLIGATION
TO DO WHATEVER WE CAN

TO RETRIEVE THE DISK.

NOW WHAT YOU'RE LOOKING AT
IS THE EL SEBKBA HOTEL

IN RABAT.

A DEREVKO OPERATIVE
NAMED MOHAMMED NAJ

LIVES AND WORKS
OUT OF THE FOURTH FLOOR.

EARLY LAST WEEK,
THE BLACKMAIL DISK IN QUESTION

WAS TAKEN TO A VAULT
AT THAT LOCATION.

THE OPERATION IS SIMPLE --

BREAK INTO THE VAULT,
RETRIEVE THE DISK.

MY FLIGHT'S AT 6:00.

WE'LL MAKE CONTACT
WITH A COUNTERMISSION

NO LATER THAN 3:00.
OKAY.

HOW'S WEISS?

[ CELLULAR PHONE RINGS ]
HE'S STILL IN THE HOSPITAL,

BUT THE DOCTORS SAY
HE'S GOING TO BE OKAY,

AND UNTIL THEN,
I'VE GOT TO FEED HIS FISH.

[ RING ]

YEAH?

YES, LET HIM THROUGH.

IT'S KENDALL.

WHAT DOES HE WANT?
I DON'T KNOW.

I DON'T TRUST HIM.

WE HAVE TO
HEAR HIM OUT.

HEAR HIM OUT?
HE ARRESTED ME.

HE'S IN CONTROL
OF OPERATIONS.

HE THOUGHT
I WAS THE DEVIL.

MR. VAUGHN,
AGENT BRISTOW.

DID YOU CLEAR THIS MEETING
THROUGH DEVLIN?

NO, I'M SORRY.

I DON'T HAVE TIME
TO GO THROUGH CHANNELS.

THERE'S BEEN
AN INTERESTING DEVELOPMENT

REGARDING YOUR MOTHER.

AS YOU KNOW,
SHE SURRENDERED TO THE CIA

AND CLAIMS
TO WANT TO COOPERATE.

SO SHE'S HANDED OVER HER
AGENCY'S OPERATIONS MANUAL --

THE BIBLE?

NO, AND SHE WON'T TALK
ABOUT IT.

SHE WON'T TALK TO US
ABOUT ANYTHING.

THEN AS FAR AS I'M CONCERNED,
THAT'S THE END OF THE STORY.

WELL, THAT'S
THE INTERESTING DEVELOPMENT.

IT SEEMS
THAT THE ONLY PERSON

SHE'S WILLING TO TALK TO
IS YOU.

THEN YOU'RE OUT OF LUCK.

I'M AFRAID YOU'RE GOING
TO HAVE TO TALK TO --

EXCUSE ME. YOU CAN'T COMPEL
AGENT BRISTOW --

THAT'S EXACTLY
WHAT I CAN DO.
ARE WE THROUGH?

MS. BRISTOW, I DON'T
HAVE TO REMIND YOU

THAT THIS IS A MATTER
OF NATIONAL SECURITY, DO I?

YEAH, WE'RE THROUGH.

I'LL WAIT
TO HEAR FROM YOU.

JUST SO WE'RE CLEAR,
MR. VAUGHN,

I KNOW ALL ABOUT
YOUR PARTICIPATION

IN BUSTING AGENT BRISTOW
OUT OF FEDERAL CUSTODY.

CONVINCE HER
TO TALK TO HER MOTHER

OR FACE CHARGES
FOR OBSTRUCTING JUSTICE

AND HARBORING A FUGITIVE.

GUESS IT'S 2-FOR-1 DAY
ON BLACKMAIL.

Man: SO, MR., UH, TIPPIN,

DO YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU ARE
BEING ACCUSED OF HERE TODAY?

YES, YOUR HONOR, I DO.

FELONY CHARGE
OF HEROIN POSSESSION,

MISDEMEANOR COUNT OF BEING
UNDER THE INFLUENCE

OF A CONTROLLED SUBSTANCE.

HOW ARE YOU PLEADING?

GUILTY.

UNDER PROPOSITION 36,
YOU ARE TO RECEIVE PROBATION

AND ARE HEREBY ORDERED
TO COMPLETE

A CERTIFIED
DRUG TREATMENT PROGRAM.

IN ADDITION, YOU MUST COMPLETE
100 HOURS OF COMMUNITY SERVICE.

FAIL TO MEET
ANY OF THESE REQUIREMENTS,

AND YOU WILL SERVE TIME.

IT'S A SUBVOCAL MIKE.
WITH IT, WE CAN HEAR

WHAT'S GOING ON BETWEEN
YOU AND DIXON AT ALL TIMES.

AND AS SOON AS YOU CAN,
I WANT YOU

TO GO RADIO SILENT WITH HIM
SO YOU AND I CAN TALK.

CALL WAITING FOR SPIES.

YES.

NOW, THE BLACKMAIL DISK
IS IN A SAFE

IN NAJ'S SUITE
ON THE FOURTH FLOOR.

AS SOON AS YOU GET IT,

YOU'LL DELIVER IT
TO THIS MAN --

RICHARD SCHMIDT.
HE'S WORKING

UNDER A DIPLOMATIC COVER
AT THE RABAT EMBASSY.

HE'LL BE WAITING FOR YOU
ON THE THIRD FLOOR.

NOW, SLOANE IS OBVIOUSLY
LOOKING FOR SOMETHING SPECIFIC.

WE DON'T KNOW WHAT.

SCHMIDT WILL SCAN THE DISK,
ANALYZE WHAT'S ON IT,

AND SPIT UP A BOGUS COPY

THAT'S CLOSE ENOUGH
TO THE ORIGINAL TO FOOL SLOANE.

THAT'S THE DISK
YOU'LL DELIVER TO SD-6.

OKAY.

OR...

YOU COULD ASK YOUR MOTHER
ABOUT THE CONTENTS OF THE DISK.

KENDALL MUST REALLY BE
PUTTING ON THE PRESSURE

FOR YOU TO ASK ME THAT.

YEAH, HE IS.

BUT I-I'VE BEEN THINKING
ABOUT IT MYSELF.

SYDNEY,
YOU'RE GOOD AT THIS.

I MEAN, THIS IS
WHAT YOU'RE TRAINED FOR --

COMPARTMENTALIZING
YOUR EMOTIONS.

YOU DO IT ON EVERY MISSION,
YOU DO IT WITH SLOANE --

THIS ISN'T THE SAME.

SYD, I WOULD NEVER
FORCE YOU TO DO THIS.

I WOULD NEVER MAKE THIS
AN OFFICIAL REQUEST,

BUT I ALSO KNOW THAT
WHAT YOU WANT MORE THAN ANYTHING

IS TO DESTROY SD-6

AND BRING AN END
TO THE ALLIANCE,

AND IF SHE CAN HELP US,
THEN WHY NOT USE HER?

BECAUSE I CAN'T.

BECAUSE I WON'T.

MAYBE YOU COULD
SHUT DOWN WITH HER.

I COULDN'T.

I'LL TALK TO YOU
FROM RABAT.

Michael: I SPOKE
WITH AGENT BRISTOW,

AND SHE HAS NO INTENTION
OF SPEAKING WITH HER MOTHER.

YES, SIR, IT'S UNACCEPTABLE.
LET ME REMIND YOU,

YOU'RE ASKING A WOMAN
TO GO FACE-TO-FACE...

YOU DON'T NEED
TO REMIND ME OF ANYTHING.

WITH THE WOMAN
WHO ABANDONED SYDNEY.

I KNOW THE STORY, AND I KNOW
YOU HAVE YOUR OWN ISSUES.

YES, I HAVE
MY OWN ISSUES WITH HER.

I'VE READ THE REPORTS.

MR. KENDALL,
IRINA DEREVKO SHOT SYDNEY.

POINT-BLANK RANGE.
SHE COULD HAVE KILLED HER.

BUT DIDN'T KILL HER.
DID NOT.

[ SIGHS ]

THAT WOMAN,

48 HOURS AGO,
WAS 100% PURE BAD NEWS.

BUT NOW SHE'S OURS,

AND THERE IS
JUST A CHANCE, MR. VAUGHN,

THAT SHE HAS TURNED.

WHEN SHE GOT DONE
WITH MY FATHER,

HE COULD ONLY BE IDENTIFIED
BY HIS DENTAL RECORDS.

YES.

NEVERTHELESS,
SHE HEADED UP AN ORGANIZATION

THAT CONTROLLED PEOPLE
WHO INFLUENCED POLICY DECISIONS

AT NATO, THE U.N.,
THE WORLD BANK.

EVEN WITH ALL OUR RESOURCES,
THE CIA DOESN'T KNOW

THE FULL SCOPE
OF HER OPERATION --

THE KEY PLAYERS, THEIR METHODS,
ACQUISITIONS, AMBITION --

IF I CAN GET HER
TO TALK,

I DON'T WANT YOU TO ASK SYDNEY
TO SEE HER EVER AGAIN.

WELL, I'M NOT GOING
TO MAKE THAT PROMISE.

YOU'RE NOT THE EASIEST GUY
TO WORK WITH, ARE YOU?

NO.

NO, DEFINITELY NOT.

[ TELEPHONE RINGS ]

Dixon: I HAVE A 20
ON NAJ AND HIS BODYGUARD.

Sydney: OKAY,
I'M COMING IN.

OKAY, SYD, WE'RE ON.

SYD, YOU CLOSE?

I'M RIGHT BEHIND YOU.

YOU KNOW,
YOU ALWAYS DO THAT.

WHAT?
WHAT YOU JUST DID
WITH YOUR HAIR.

IT'S YOUR THING.

I DON'T HAVE A THING.

IT IS.
IT'S YOUR THING.

[ In Italian accent ]
IF THE REST OF THE HOTEL

IS LIKE THIS,
SARà PERFETTO.

AND HOW MAY I HELP YOU?

MY NAME
IS BERTRICIA CUNELLI.

MIO MARITO SILVIO AND I
ARE IN TOWN FOR THREE MONTHS

WHILE I RECOVER
FROM A RIDICULO

JET SKIING ACCIDENT
OFF THE COAST OF MALLORCA.

PRECEDENTE TRAVEL AGENT
BOOKED US INTO THE DARAM,

WHICH TURNS OUT TO BE
TOTAL...[ Speaks Italian ]

NOW THAT I SEE THIS,
I CALL SILVIO AND TELL HIM

BRING THE BAGS RIGHT OVER.

YOUR BAGS.

[ SPEAKS ITALIAN ]

WE WERE AT A COCKTAIL PARTY
LAST NIGHT,

AND THE CONSUL GENERAL SAID

THAT HE SIMPLY RAVES
ABOUT THIS PLACE.

NATURALLY, I CALLED AND BOOKED
A SUITE IMMEDIAMENTE.

THERE MUST BE
SOME MISTAKE, MADEMOISELLE.

WE ARE COMPLETELY FULL.

DO ME A FAVOR, DARLING.
CHECK FOR ME.

BERTRICIA CUNELLI.

YES, OF COURSE,

BUT I'M PRETTY SURE IT'S --

RESERVATION
FOR MR. AND MRS. CUNELLI.

I HOPE IT'S A ROOM
WITH A VIEW.

Man: OH!

ALL RIGHT, DIXON, I'VE GOT
THE KEY TO NAJ'S SUITE.

I'M ON MY WAY.

I'M INTERESTED
IN A COMPUTER DISK

CONTAINING INFORMATION
USED FOR BLACKMAIL.

WE BELIEVE YOU'RE FAMILIAR
WITH THIS ITEM.

THAT'S AN IMPLIED QUESTION.
I'LL MAKE IT CLEAR FOR YOU.

ARE YOU FAMILIAR
WITH THIS ITEM?

I KNOW YOU WANT
TO SEE YOUR DAUGHTER.

I CAN GUARANTEE YOU
THAT IS NEVER GOING TO HAPPEN

UNLESS SHE KNOWS
YOU'RE COOPERATING.

PROVE YOURSELF. GIVE SYDNEY
A REASON TO SEE YOU.

"SYDNEY"?

INTERESTING.

AGENT BRISTOW
IS IN RABAT NOW

SEEKING
TO RECOVER THE LIST.

IS THERE ANYTHING
SHE SHOULD KNOW?

NEXT TO THE SAFE,
THERE'S A FIRE ALARM.

IF YOU WANT TO PROTECT HER,
TELL HER TO PULL IT FIRST,

THEN OPEN THE SAFE.

WHY?

I'VE GIVEN YOU A GIFT,
AND ALL YOU GET FROM ME...

IS ONE.

YOU LOOK JUST LIKE HIM.

I'M THROUGH
WITH THE PRISONER.

Marshall: TO FIND THE SAFE,
YOU'RE GOING TO NEED THIS.

NOW, IT LOOKS LIKE
JUST A NORMAL METAL DETECTOR.

WELL, IT IS.

THAT'S RIGHT, WE'RE GOING
OLD SCHOOL ON THIS ONE.

[ BEEP ]

NOW, THE SAFE IS --
IS A WALDRASEN.

IT'S AN ORIGINAL.

I MEAN, THE CRAFTSMANSHIP
IS INCREDIBLE,

WHICH, LUCKY FOR YOU,
THE SAME CAN BE SAID ABOUT THIS.

NOW, YOU KNOW
THOSE STETHOSCOPES

THAT OUTLAWS WOULD USE
TO ROB BANKS

BACK IN THE -- YOU KNOW,
WITH THE HORSES AND THE GUNS?

WELL, I STUDIED
HOW THOSE WORK,

BEING A BIT
OF AN OUTLAW MYSELF.

UH, BASICALLY, THIS --
SUPERAMPLIFIED VERSION OF THAT.

NOW, YOU JUST PLACE THIS
OVER THE DIAL --

THIS PART RIGHT HERE --

AND YOU TYPE IN 793, 793 --

THAT SPELLS "SYD,"
IN CASE YOU FORGET.

793, 'CAUSE ON THE PHONE,
THE NUMBERS AND THE LETTER--

YOU KNOW THAT.

AND BASICALLY,
THIS WILL DO THE REST FOR YOU.

I NEED TO TALK
TO AGENT BRISTOW.

SHE'S NOT RADIO SILENT.
IF WE TRY AND COMMUNICATE,

HER SD-6 PARTNER
COULD HEAR US.

YEAH, AND IF WE DON'T,
SHE MIGHT TRIGGER THE ALARM.

Marshall: THE LOCKING
MECHANISM IS A SET OF WHEELS.

THE TRICK IS TO LINE UP
EACH NOTCH ON THESE WHEELS

WITH CONTACT POINTS.

NOW, ONCE EACH NOTCH
IS LINED UP,

PART OF THE COMBINATION
WILL APPEAR.

NOW, WHEN THEY ALL LINE UP,
THE LOCK WILL OPEN.

WE'RE ALMOST THERE.
GOING RADIO SILENT.

JUST BE CAREFUL.

NOW.
FREELANCER, THIS IS BOOT CAMP.
DO YOU COPY?

GO AHEAD, BOOT CAMP.

SYDNEY,
DO NOT OPEN THE SAFE.

WHAT?

IS THERE A FIRE ALARM
ON THE WALL?

YES.

OKAY, LISTEN TO ME.
IT'S A FAILSAFE.

DO NOT OPEN THE SAFE
UNTIL AFTER YOU PULL THE ALARM.

WE HAD NO INTEL
ON A FAILSAFE.

WHERE'D YOU GET
THIS INFORMATION?

VAUGHN SPOKE WITH YOUR MOTHER.
THE INTEL CAME FROM HER.

IT'S HER DISK,
SHE'S FAMILIAR WITH THE VAULT.

IF THERE'S A FAILSAFE,
ONLY SHE'S GOING TO KNOW.

AND WHAT IF THERE'S NOT?

I'M JUST SUPPOSED TO
PULL THE FIRE ALARM?

NO, SYDNEY,
I KNOW THIS SOUNDS CRAZY,

BUT I THINK IT'S FOR REAL.

VAUGHN,
SHE WANTS ME DEAD.

IF THAT WERE TRUE,
AGENT BRISTOW,

SHE WOULD HAVE
KILLED YOU IN BARCELONA.

DID YOU TALK
TO MY FATHER ABOUT THIS?

TWO MINUTES AGO
ON THE PHONE

WHILE WE WERE WAITING
FOR YOU TO GO RADIO SILENT.

WHAT DID HE SAY?
YOUR DAD?

THE ANSWER IS NO!

ALL I AM ASKING
IS THAT YOU CONSIDER IT.

CONSIDER THE SOURCE!
I DON'T NEED TO BE LECTURED
ON WHAT WE'RE DEALING WITH.

THIS WOMAN
IS NOT TO BE TRUSTED.

JACK, LISTEN TO ME.
UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES

DISCUSS THIS
WITH MY DAUGHTER.

RESPECTFULLY, SYD,
I DON'T THINK

YOUR FATHER CAN THINK CLEARLY
WHERE YOUR MOTHER'S CONCERNED.

AND YOU CAN?

I'M TRYING,

AND SHE HAS NOTHING TO GAIN
BY LYING.

MISS BRISTOW, I WANT YOU
TO PULL THAT FIRE ALARM.

SYDNEY...

I'D DO IT.

AGENT BRISTOW,
PULL THAT ALARM.

SEE WHAT I MEAN?

[ ALARM WAILING ]

DIXON, I'VE TRIPPED
SOME KIND OF ALARM.

WHAT DO YOU SEE?

NAJ AND HIS BODYGUARD
ARE ON THEIR WAY UP.

YOU JUST LOOK FOR THE DISK.
I'LL HANDLE NAJ.

[ MAN SHOUTING
IN FOREIGN LANGUAGE ]

THIS IS FREELANCER.
I'VE GOT THE BLACKMAIL DISK.

Man: WHAT'S YOUR POSITION,
FREELANCER?

LEAVING THE SUITE,
HEADING FOR THE STAIRS.

ON MY WAY.
WE GOT IT.

DO YOU HAVE IT?

SYD, DO YOU HAVE THE DISK?

YES.

OKAY.

WHAT HAPPENED?
DID YOU GET IT?
Richard: NEGATIVE.

WHAT?

I REPEAT, THE DISK
WAS NOT TRANSFERRED.

SATELLITE FEED IS UP.

SLOANE WANTS
THE INFORMATION ASAP.

GOOD JOB, SYD.

Arvin: ALAIN.

ARVIN.

YEAH, I THOUGHT
YOU SHOULD KNOW

THAT SD-6 IS IN POSSESSION
OF THE BLACKMAIL DISK.

THANK YOU.

AND MORE GOOD NEWS --

YOU KNOW THAT GENTLEMAN
WE DISCUSSED?

PETER FORDSON.

WELL, WE NOW HAVE INFORMATION
ON HIM.

PHOTOGRAPHS.

NO...

OF HIS DAUGHTER.

APPARENTLY HE'S WILLING
TO PAY A HIGH PRICE

TO KEEP THEM PRIVATE.

WELL, IF YOU SAW THEM,
YOU'D KNOW WHY.

I LEAVE
FOR HELSINKI TONIGHT.

I'M SEEING FORDSON MYSELF.

I WANT TO TALK
TO MY MOTHER.

I HATE HER.
I DON'T UNDERSTAND HER.

I-I THINK SHE'S A MONSTER,

BUT IF SHE CAN HELP US
BRING AN END TO SD-6,

THEN WHAT I THINK
IS IRRELEVANT.

I'M NOT SO SURE.

WHAT?
I-I'VE BEEN THINKING ABOUT IT.

I'M NOT CERTAIN
THAT'S A GOOD IDEA.

IS THIS
ABOUT MY FATHER?
HE HAS A POINT.

YOU SAID HE CAN'T THINK CLEARLY
WHERE SHE'S CONCERNED.

VAUGHN, I SCREWED UP.
I WOULDN'T BE SO QUICK
TO TRUST HER.

WE DON'T KNOW WHAT SHE'S AFTER.
IF I'D LISTENED TO HER,
WE'D HAVE THE DISK RIGHT NOW.

ALL I KNOW IS
SHE OFFERED GOOD INTEL

AND I DIDN'T
CHOOSE TO USE IT.

NOW SD-6
HAS THE BLACKMAIL DISK.

WE DON'T KNOW
WHAT THEY WANT WITH IT,

BUT THEY'VE GOT IT NOW,
WE DON'T, AND IT'S MY FAULT.

I KNOW I'M THE ONE

WHO TRIED TO CONVINCE YOU
TO SEE YOUR MOTHER,

TO BE UNEMOTIONAL WITH HER.

I THOUGHT I COULD DO IT,

SEE HER, AND BE
AS COLD-BLOODED AS SHE IS.

IT'S HARD TO EXPLAIN

WHAT IT FEELS LIKE,

SITTING ACROSS FROM HER --

WHAT SHE DID TO MY FAMILY,

TO MY FATHER.

BUT SHE'S
YOUR MOTHER, SYDNEY.

WITH ALL SHE'S DONE,

SHE IS YOUR MOTHER.

VAUGHN, IF YOU'RE
WORRIED ABOUT ME...

YOU DON'T NEED TO BE.

Arvin: I CALLED YOU IN
TO SAY THANK YOU.

WE NOW HAVE THE DISK,

AND IT'S BECAUSE OF YOU.

WHAT WAS ON IT?

HORRIBLE THINGS,
PRIVATE MOMENTS.

THE DISK IS A COLLECTION,

A PHYSICAL MANIFESTATION
OF HUMAN WEAKNESS,

A TOOL THAT SOME PEOPLE --

THAT YOUR MOTHER USED

TO EXTRACT FAVORS
FROM THOSE IN POWER.

WHICH, SYDNEY,

IS SOMETHING THAT I WANTED
TO TALK TO YOU ABOUT.

YOUR MOTHER.

WHAT ABOUT HER?

YOU SAW HER IN TAIPEI.

YES.

WELL...

I JUST --

I JUST WANTED TO REMIND YOU
THAT I AM HERE FOR YOU

IF YOU EVER NEED TO TALK.

THANK YOU.

Sydney: I WANTED
TO CUT OFF MY HAND.

DID HE SAY ANYTHING ELSE
ABOUT THE BLACKMAIL DISK,

WHY THE ALLIANCE
WANTED IT?

NO. I THOUGHT
YOU'D HAVE SEEN IT.

NO. SLOANE SENT THE DISK

TO ALLIANCE HEADQUARTERS
IN LONDON.

I'LL SEE IF I CAN FIND OUT
WHATEVER WAS ON THE DISK

AND WHY
IT WAS SO IMPORTANT.

HOW ARE YOU GOING
TO DO THAT?

I'LL ASK MOM.

YOU'VE AGREED TO SEE HER.

YES.

SYDNEY,
SHE IS THE ENEMY.

AND SO IS SLOANE,

AND IF THE DEVIL HERSELF
WANTS TO HELP ME BRING HIM DOWN,

FINE BY ME.

SHE HAS NEVER BEEN
INTERESTED IN HELPING YOU.

SHE TOLD ME
TO PULL THE ALARM.

YES, AND FOR ALL YOU KNOW,

THAT COULD HAVE
MADE THINGS WORSE.

SYDNEY, YOU'RE SMARTER
THAN THIS.

YOUR MOTHER WANTS YOU
TO THINK SHE'S YOUR ALLY,

THAT SHE CAN HELP YOU
GET WHAT YOU WANT.

HER INTEL MIGHT EVEN
BE ACCURATE ONCE...

TWICE.

BUT THE MINUTE

YOU START
DEPENDING ON HER,

SHE WILL GUT YOU.

Francie: WILL,
WHAT HAPPENED TO YOUR FACE?

YOU KNOW THE ONE THING

THEY DON'T TELL YOU
ABOUT DOING COMMUNITY SERVICE?

SUNBLOCK.

OH, BUDDY.

HOW'D IT GO?

OH, HANGING OUT WITH A BUNCH
OF FELLOW DRUG ADDICTS

PICKING UP COPIES
OF THE NEWSPAPER

I USED TO WRITE FOR
WITH A STICK?

IT IS NOT GOOD.

OH, I SAW YOU
AT THE GAS STATION

OVER ON NATIONAL
WITH SOME GUY --

DARK SUIT, 50.

OH, UM...

THAT WAS
THE LIQUOR LICENSE GUY.

WELL, WAIT A MINUTE.
LIKE A MAFIA GUY?

YEAH, KIND OF.

FRANCIE.

WELL, IT'S JUST GOING
TO TAKE ME SIX MONTHS

TO GET
A LEGITIMATE LIQUOR LICENSE --

SO YOU'RE HANGING OUT
WITH THE GAMBINO CRIME FAMILY

AND YOU'RE GIVING ME GRIEF
ABOUT DOING DRUGS?

OH, IT'S SO NOT
THE SAME THING.
NO, IT'S NOT.

YOU'RE INVOLVED WITH ORGANIZED
CRIME. IT'S TOTALLY DIFFERENT.

YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHAT IT TAKES
TO START A RESTAURANT.

I HAVE TO DEAL WITH CONTRACTORS
AND SUBCONTRACTORS AND --

I KNOW, I KNOW.

I USED TO WORK
AT THE METRO DESK.

I WROTE, LIKE, TWO DOZEN
PIECES ON RESTAURANTS.

HEALTH DEPARTMENT RATINGS,
CODE REQUIREMENTS --

I JUST NEED
A LIQUOR LICENSE.

NO, NO, NO,
WHAT YOU NEED

IS SOMEONE WHO KNOWS
HOW THE SYSTEM WORKS,

SOMEONE WHO CAN
HELP YOU NAVIGATE.

WHAT YOU NEED IS ME.

YOU KNOW,
FORMER DRUG ADDICT REPORTER,

AND SOMETIMES
LOBSTER IMPERSONATOR.

HA HA HA HA.

I'LL HELP YOU OUT.

Michael: TO GET TO THE FACILITY
WHERE YOUR MOTHER'S BEING HELD,

YOU'LL GO THROUGH
A SECRET ENTRANCE.

START AT THE SOUTHWEST
CORNER OF RIVERSIDE PARK.

HEAD EAST UNTIL YOU PASS
A HOMELESS MAN

SITTING IN FRONT
OF A STATUE.

HE'LL HAVE A SIGN INDICATING
HE'S A VIETNAM VET.

HE'LL HAVE A CUP.

DROP A COIN IN IT.

FREELANCER
REQUESTS COVERT ENTRY.

COPY THAT. ROUTING HER IN.

AT RIVERSIDE, TURN LEFT.

THE TRAFFIC CAMERAS
WILL IDENTIFY

IF YOU'RE BEING VISUALLY
OR ELECTRONICALLY TRACKED.

SHE'S CLEAN.

IN THE UNDERPASS
BENEATH THE 134,

THERE'S AN EMERGENCY PHONE.
IT'S OUT OF ORDER.

IF IT'S RINGING,

YOU'VE BEEN CLEARED
OF ALL SURVEILLANCE.

THIS IS A SERIES
OF 3-DIGIT CODES.

MEMORIZE THEM.
THEY ROTATE WEEKLY.

AFTER THE PHONE RINGS,
ENTER THE APPROPRIATE CODE.

IN FRONT OF YOU,

THERE'S AN INDUSTRIAL
SHIPPING CONTAINER.

ON THE BACK SIDE,
A DOOR WILL UNLOCK.

YOU'LL GO DOWN
A STEEP SET OF STAIRS

THROUGH A SERIES
OF CHECKPOINTS,

AND A QUARTER MILE LATER,

YOU'LL BE
AT THE OPERATIONS CENTER.

AGENT BRISTOW?
VICKI CRANE. RIGHT THIS WAY.

MR. KENDALL.

I'M GLAD
YOU CHANGED YOUR MIND.

YOU DIDN'T
PULL THE ALARM.

I WOULDN'T HAVE
PULLED IT EITHER.

WE NEED TO KNOW
WHO AND WHAT IS ON THE DISK.

HOW'S YOUR SHOULDER?

THE DISK.

PETER FORDSON.

WHO?

PETER FORDSON.

HE HAS A FILE ON THE DISK.

HE'S THE MAN
SD-6 WILL GO AFTER FIRST.

WHY?

ONE STEP AT A TIME.

I NEED TO KNOW WHY.

NO, YOU WANT TO KNOW WHY.
THERE'S A DIFFERENCE.

GO AFTER FORDSON.

TRUST ME.

WHY SHOULD I DO THAT?

BECAUSE I'M YOUR MOTHER.

HERE'S WHAT WE KNOW
ABOUT FORDSON --

HE'S BASED IN HELSINKI.

A YEAR AGO, HIS COMPANY
CONTRACTED WITH THE PENTAGON

TO MANUFACTURE
A TERAHERTZ WAVE CAMERA.

PUT IN A SATELLITE,

THEY CAN SEE INTO NORAD
UNDETECTED.

LAST MONTH, FORDSON FAILED
TO MAKE DELIVERY,

COMPLAINING
OF PRODUCTION PROBLEMS.

OR PRODUCED THE CAMERA
JUST FINE,

BUT PLANNED ON DELIVERING IT
TO YOUR MOTHER.

SO SD-6 WANTED THAT DISK
SO THEY COULD BLACKMAIL FORDSON

INTO GIVING THEM
THE CAMERA.

PHILLIPS, GET THE FLOOR PLANS
FOR THE LASGROVE BUILDING,

ANY INTEL WE'VE GOT.

CRANE, I WANT A MEETING
ON OP TECH IN ONE HOUR.

YOU'RE GOING TO HELSINKI,
YOU'RE GOING TO GET THAT CAMERA.

HE'S GOT A GREAT

Michael: THE GUARDS WILL BE

YOU SHOULD BE IN THE LAB
BY THE TIME THEY LEAVE

AND HAVE FIVE MINUTES
BEFORE THEY GET BACK.

[ ELECTRONIC MUSIC PLAYS ]

SYD...

SLOANE'S HERE.

HE'S AFTER THE CAMERA, TOO.

DO YOU WANT
TO CALL OFF THE OP?

NO, WE GO FOR IT.

ARE YOU SURE?

I JUST NEED A MINUTE.

MR. FORDSON.

ARVIN SLOANE.

YOU AMERICANS
ARE PERSISTENT.

I'M TELLING YOU
ON THE PHONE,

OUR COMPANY'S NOT LOOKING
FOR NEW PARTNERS THEN.

STILL YOU COME
ALL THIS WAY.

SYD, ARE YOU READY?

THE HAND BRAKE
WON'T LOCK INTO PLACE.

Peter: WHY DON'T WE TALK
ABOUT IT ON THE BALCONY?

SHALL WE?

SYD, HE'S HEADED
RIGHT TOWARDS YOU.

I'M NOT READY YET.

YOU BETTER GET READY.

SYD, HE'S GOING
TO SEE YOU.

[ GROANS ]

I'M GOOD. THANKS.

I'M AT 14.

WHERE'S SLOANE?

WITH FORDSON,
PUTTING ON THE SQUEEZE.

THIS IS YOUR PROPOSAL?

NO.

MY PROPOSAL IS
THAT WE GO DOWNSTAIRS,

THAT YOU GIVE ME
YOUR T-WAVE CAMERA,

AND THAT I KEEP
YOUR DAUGHTER'S DEPRAVATIONS

OUR SECRET.

DEREVKO'S GONE.

YOU WORK FOR ME NOW.

LET'S NOT WASTE TIME.

SLOANE JUST LEFT.
I REPEAT, HE IS ON HIS WAY.

FOUND IT.

SYD, ONLY FOUR MORE FLOORS
TO GO.

GOT IT.

MEET ME
AT THE EXTRACTION POINT.

LET'S GO.

THIS IS WHERE IT WAS.

I'M TELLING YOU.

WELL, IF IT'S NOT HERE...

IT'S SOMEWHERE.

I DON'T KNOW.

I SWEAR TO GOD,
I DON'T KNOW!

AAH!

JUST THINK ABOUT IT.

AGENT BRISTOW, HI.

WE HAD A BRIEFING
WITH DEREVKO

ABOUT T-WAVE TECHNOLOGY,

WHAT SHE KNOWS
ABOUT HOW IT WORKS.

TWO HOURS, AND YOUR MOTHER
DIDN'T SAY A SINGLE WORD.

IT'S VICKI, RIGHT?

YEAH, WITH AN "I"
AT THE END.

VICKI, I'M TIRED
AND I WANT TO GO HOME.

I DON'T MEAN TO BE RUDE,
BUT IF THERE'S NOTHING ELSE...

OH, NO, I'M SORRY.
THERE ISN'T, NO, EXCEPT --

THE ONE THING SHE DID ASK
WAS IF SOMEONE

WOULD PASS ALONG
HER CONGRATULATIONS TO YOU.

SHE SEEMED REALLY PROUD.

I HOPE YOU GET SOME REST.
