Alias (2001–2006): Season 2, Episode 5 - The Indicator - 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.



Will:
PREVIOUSLY ON "ALIAS"...

I WANT TO MAKE SOMETHING
VERY CLEAR TO YOU.

IF SYDNEY IN ANY WAY

BECOMES VICTIM
TO YOUR ENDGAME,

I WILL KILL YOU.

YOU HAVEN'T TOLD HER

WHAT YOU DID TO HER
AFTER I DISAPPEARED,

HAVE YOU?

MOM SAYS THERE ARE NO EXPLOSIVES
OR ANTI-INTRUSION DEVICES.

SHE SAYS
THE BUILDING IS CLEAN.

WE OBVIOUSLY CAN'T TRUST
THIS INFORMATION.

UNLESS SHE WANTS
TO PROVE HERSELF.

THAT'S THE KIND
OF HOPEFUL THINKING

THAT WILL GET YOU KILLED.

WE'RE SENDING YOU
TO MADAGASCAR

TO RETRIEVE THE BIBLE.

YOU TWO,
PREPARE TO LEAVE TONIGHT.

LET'S MOVE IT.

JACK, I OWE YOU.

BUT WHY
30 POUNDS OF SEMTEX?

I NEED YOU TO MAKE SURE THAT
IF ANYONE ENTERS THAT BUILDING,

NO ONE WILL SURVIVE.

Jack: SYDNEY,
HOLD YOUR ENTRY.

THAT BUILDING
IS WIRED TO EXPLODE.

I NEED YOU TO TAKE A LOOK
UNDER THE HOUSE.

IS THERE A CRAWLSPACE?

SHE LIED TO ME.

♪ I HEAR VOICES
SINGING ON THE HILL ♪

♪ LIKE A FUNERAL
I LAY QUIET AND STILL ♪

♪ CALL IT WHAT YOU WILL,
I KNOW THIS ♪

♪ DESPITE A DOUBTING MIND ♪

♪ I FEEL THIS IS
THE END ♪

♪ BUT I'M FINE ♪

♪ TONIGHT ♪

♪ LET THIS RAIN ♪

♪ WASH CLEAN ALL MY SINS. ♪

FIVE WEEKS AGO,

IRINA DEREVKO SURRENDERED
HERSELF TO THE CIA.

SHE CLAIMED THAT SHE WANTED
TO COOPERATE,

TO SEEK RESTITUTION
FOR THE CRIMES

SHE COMMITTED
AGAINST THE UNITED STATES.

DURING THE NEXT
SEVERAL WEEKS,

IRINA DEREVKO PROVIDED
MEANINGFUL INTELLIGENCE

TO THE CIA.

ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS --

PARDON THE INTERRUPTION,
AGENT BRISTOW.

LET'S TALK ABOUT
LAST WEEK --

THE INCIDENT
IN MADAGASCAR.

BEFORE DEREVKO
TURNED HERSELF IN TO THE CIA,

AS LEVERAGE,

SHE CONCEALED HER ORGANIZATION'S
OPERATIONS MANUAL.

LAST WEEK, THE CIA DISCOVERED
WHERE IT WAS HIDDEN.

WHEN I TOLD DEREVKO
THAT I WAS GOING IN

TO RETRIEVE THE MANUAL,

SHE INFORMED US THAT
THE BUILDING WAS SAFE TO ENTER.

IN TRUTH,
IT WAS A TRAP.

DEREVKO HAD RIGGED IT
WITH EXPLOSIVES.

JUST AS WE WERE
ABOUT TO ENTER THE BUILDING,

AN AGENT SPOTTED SOMETHING
ON THE SATELLITE IMAGERY.

THAT AGENT
WAS YOUR FATHER.

YES.

HE SAVED MY LIFE.

I WANTED
TO STAND IN THIS CELL,

JUST ONCE.

YOU TRIED TO WARN ME
ABOUT HER SO MANY TIMES.

I'M SO SORRY
THAT I DIDN'T LISTEN TO YOU.

SOME THINGS YOU NEED
TO EXPERIENCE FOR YOURSELF.

I IMAGINE EVERY PARENT

TRIES TO PROTECT
THEIR CHILDREN FROM THAT TRUTH.

I NEVER SAID THANK YOU

FOR SAVING MY LIFE.

WE'RE DUE FOR A BRIEFING
AT SD-6. WE SHOULD GO.

[ RACKS SHOTGUN ]

[ BYSTANDERS SCREAMING ]

[ HORN BLARING ]

Arvin: NIELS HATER,

THE SO-CALLED
AUSTRIAN CONNECTION,

WAS MURDERED YESTERDAY MORNING
IN VIENNA.

THE BOLD NATURE OF THE HIT,

THE COMPLETE DISREGARD
FOR CIVILIAN COLLATERAL DAMAGE,

INDICATES THE WORK
OF THE TRIAD.

HATER WAS TRIAD.

THEY KILLED
ONE OF THEIR OWN?

YES, WE BELIEVE SO.

THE TRIAD? YOU NEVER
MENTIONED THEM BEFORE.

IT'S A LOOSE COALITION
OF ORGANIZED CRIME ENTITIES.

THEY DEAL MAINLY IN DRUGS
AND PROSTITUTION,

BUT OVER
THE LAST COUPLE YEARS,

THEY'VE MADE A SIGNIFICANT
FORAY INTO WEAPONS.

OKAY. SO WHY
DID THEY KILL HATER?

BECAUSE HE WAS SELLING INTEL
TO SD-6.

IN HIS LAST COMMUNICATION
TO OUR SOURCES IN VIENNA,

HATER INFORMED US

THAT THE TRIAD
WAS ENGAGED IN A PLOT

TO DEPLOY AND DEVELOP
16 NEXT-GENERATION WEAPONS.

ANY IDEA WHAT NEXT GENERATION
REFERS TO?

NO, WHICH IS
A MAJOR SOURCE OF CONCERN.

ACCORDING TO THE COMMUNIQUé,

TESTING OF THE WEAPONS
IS ADVANCING AHEAD OF SCHEDULE,

WHICH MEANS

THEY MAY SOON
BE PUT INTO THE FIELD.

DO WE KNOW
WHERE THESE WEAPONS ARE NOW?

BUDAPEST.
DURING THE COLD WAR,

THE RUSSIANS BUILT
A MASSIVE BOMB SHELTER

UNDERNEATH
THE MAGISTRATE'S BUREAU.

THE TRIAD HAS BEEN
USING THAT SHELTER

TO SERVE
AS A TESTING FACILITY.

YOUR MISSION IS TO GAIN ACCESS
TO THAT FACILITY,

IDENTIFY THE NATURE
OF THE WEAPONS,

RETRIEVE THE SPECS AND TEST DATA
OFF THE CENTRAL SERVER,

AND THEN PROCEED
TO THE R & D LAB

AND PHOTOGRAPH THE WEAPONS.

SO THAT SD-6 CAN ENGINEER
THE WEAPONS FOR THEMSELVES.

WHICH WE WON'T
LET HAPPEN.

OKAY.

I'LL CONFER WITH YOUR FATHER
ABOUT YOUR COUNTERMISSION.

MY FATHER?

HE DIDN'T TELL YOU?

BASED ON YOUR FATHER'S INSTINCTS
IN THE MADAGASCAR INCIDENT,

DEVLIN GAVE HIM
OPERATIONAL APPROVAL.

OH.

WHEN YOU AND I
WERE APPROACHING THAT BUILDING,

OPS WAS MONITORING OUR PROGRESS
VIA SAT RADAR SCAN.

NOW, AT THE LAST MOMENT,

YOUR FATHER SWITCHED
TO INFRARED,

WHICH IS
HOW HE SAW THE EXPLOSIVES.

WE DON'T HAVE
ROUTINE SATELLITE COVERAGE

OVER MADAGASCAR.

ONE HAD TO BE RETASKED.

NOW, THE CLOSEST ONE
WAS OVER THE INDIAN OCEAN,

YET YOUR FATHER
SPECIFICALLY REQUESTED

THE ONE
OVER THE SOUTH ATLANTIC --

WHICH, OF THE TWO,

IS THE ONLY ONE
THAT HAS INFRARED CAPABILITY.

HE WANTED TO ACCOUNT
FOR EVERY POSSIBILITY.

PROBABLY.

OR IT'S POSSIBLE
THAT HE ALREADY KNEW

THERE'D BE EXPLOSIVES
AT THAT ENTRANCE.

I DON'T SEE HOW.

HE NEVER TRUSTED MY MOTHER'S
MOTIVES, BUT HE...

YOU THINK MY FATHER
WIRED THAT ENTRANCE

TO SET UP MY MOTHER?

WE WERE NEARLY KILLED.

I KNOW.
IF THERE HAD BEEN
INTERFERENCE ON OUR COMMS --

YOU HAVE TO ADMIT,
IT WOULDN'T BE THE FIRST TIME.

MEANING WHAT?
RUSIK.

RUSIK?
YOUR FATHER SET UP RUSIK.

I WAS A PRISONER. SLOANE WAS
ABOUT TO HAVE ME EXECUTED.

I DON'T KNOW WHY YOU'RE
DENYING THIS POSSIBILITY.

I UNDERSTAND
THAT YOUR AUTHORITY

HAS BEEN SUPERCEDED
BY MY FATHER

AND THAT MAYBE
YOU FEEL IRRELEVANT.

BUT HE SAVED OUR LIVES.

REMEMBER THAT.

I WON'T WAIT
TO HEAR FROM YOU.

[ DANCE MUSIC PLAYING ]

HEY.

HEY.

HI. YOU LOOK FABULOUS.

OH, SO DO YOU.
I-I AM SO PROUD OF YOU.

THANK YOU.
WHERE DID YOU FIND
ALL THESE PEOPLE?

CAN YOU BELIEVE IT?
I INVITE 100 PEOPLE,

THINKING MAYBE 70
WILL SHOW UP --

YOU SAID
YOU WERE WORRIED.

HE TELLS
HIS ENTIRE N.A. MEETING.
AND THEY'RE GOOD PEOPLE.

I'M SURE
THEY'RE FANTASTIC PEOPLE,

BUT WE MAKE 90% OF OUR PROFITS
FROM THE BAR.

THEY DON'T DRINK.

[ DANCE MUSIC PLAYING ]

HI.

THE PLANE LEAVES
FOR BUDAPEST IN AN HOUR.

YOU'LL MEET DIXON
AT THE AIRPORT.

WHEN YOU GET INTO THE TRIAD'S
TESTING FACILITY,

YOU'LL LOG ONTO
THEIR COMPUTER.

SLOANE EXPECTS YOU
TO DISABLE THE FIREWALL

SO THAT SD-6 CAN HACK IN
AND DIRECTLY DOWNLOAD

THE SPECS
FOR THE NEXT GEN WEAPONS.

ONCE YOU'VE ACCESSED
THE COMPUTER,

YOU'LL CONTACT THE CIA
AND GIVE US THE I.P. ADDRESS.

WE'LL DOWNLOAD THE SPECS.

HERE. MEMORIZE THIS NUMBER.

THIS IS THE I.P. ADDRESS
YOU'LL GIVE DIXON.

HE'LL THINK HE'S ACCESSING
THE TRIAD'S COMPUTER,

BUT HE'LL BE
ON A CIA SERVER.

WE'VE SET UP SOME DUMMY FILES
FOR HIM TO DOWNLOAD.

ANYTHING ELSE?

SYDNEY, WASHINGTON
HAS MADE A DECISION

REGARDING YOUR MOTHER.

WHAT SHE DID TO YOU

INVALIDATED HER AGREEMENT
WITH THE CIA.

THE GOVERNMENT
IS PRESSING CHARGES.

THEY'RE GOING
TO SEEK THE DEATH PENALTY.

HEY, DADDY.

HEY, CRAIG. WHAT ARE YOU
DOING IN L.A.?

MADAGASCAR CUSTOMS
PICKED UP A U.S. NATIONAL

TRANSPORTING EXPLOSIVES,
THEY BROUGHT HIM TO L.A.

I'M BABYSITTING HIM
TO NEW YORK.

LISTEN,
I HEARD ABOUT WEISS.

HOW'S HE DOING?

IT WAS --
IT WAS ROUGH,

BUT THEY SAY
HE'S GOING TO BE OKAY,

WHICH IS MORE THAN I CAN SAY
ABOUT THE NURSING STAFF.

WAIT TILL HE GETS HOME.
HE'S GOING TO BE INSUFFERABLE.

LISTEN, I HAVE TO, UH...
YEAH, YEAH, GO, GO.

I'LL BE BACK NEXT MONTH.
I WANT TO PLAY SOME BALL.

WELL, YOU THINK
YOU'RE READY FOR THIS?

THAT'S CUTE.
THAT'S CUTE.

HA HA.

CRAIG.

THE GUY WITH THE EXPLOSIVES --
WAS IT SEMTEX?

YEAH.
VINTAGE RUSSIAN STUFF.

YEAH, THAT'S RIGHT.
HOW'D YOU KNOW THAT?

AND HE'S HERE IN L.A.

FOR THE NEXT TWO HOURS.

I HAVE TO TALK TO HIM.

HE'S WITH ME.

[ RADIO CHATTER ]

BADGE.

MANOLO DE SOUZA,
I'M AGENT VAUGHN.

HAS ANYONE OFFERED YOU
A DRINK?

I'M SURE
I COULD FIND YOU A SODA.

THIS IS NOT A GOOD TIME
TO BE A TERRORIST, MANOLO.

NO, A COUPLE YEARS AGO,

AND YOU WOULD HAVE HAD
SOME CIVIL RIGHTS.

NOW WE JUST THROW YOU IN A CELL,
NO ATTORNEY, NO DUE PROCESS.

SO WHO WERE YOU
WORKING FOR?

OKAY.

IN THAT CASE, WE'LL JUST
LET THE PICTURES TELL THE STORY.

SATELLITE PHOTOS
FROM FOUR DAYS AGO

SHOWING YOU RIGGING
A PLANTATION BUILDING

IN THE JUNGLE
NEAR SAMBAVA.

THOSE PHOTOS
ARE ALL WE NEED

TO PUT YOU AWAY
FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE.

SO I'M GOING TO ASK YOU
ONE MORE TIME --

DO YOU WANT THAT SODA?

I WAS WORKING FOR YOU,
YOU SON OF A BITCH.

CIA.

THROUGH WHAT OFFICE?

MY CONTACT
WAS JACK BRISTOW.

YOU TELL THAT BASTARD

I'M NOT TAKING THE FALL
ON THIS.

Sydney: TEST, 1, 2, 3.

Dixon: GOOD.

ONCE YOU DISABLE
THE NETWORK FIREWALL,

I'LL DOWNLOAD THE DATABASE

WHILE YOU ACCESS
THE VIEWING ROOM

AND TAKE PHOTOS
OF THE WEAPONS.

THE GUARDS
CHANGE SHIFT AT NOON.

THAT GIVES YOU 10 MINUTES
TO GET IN PLACE.

HOW DO I LOOK?

LIP GLOSS.

WHAT I HAVE HERE IS
A ORDINARY TUBE OF LIP GLOSS.

LET'S SAY
THAT YOU'RE AT THE BEACH,

AND YOUR LIPS ARE
FEELING A LITTLE --

"MY LIPS ARE CHAPPED" --

OR YOU'RE --
POSSIBLY YOU'RE ON A DATE,

IT'S THE END OF THE NIGHT,

YOU WANT YOUR LIPS
TO BE SUPPLE...

PISTACHIO.
THAT'S MY FAVORITE FLAVOR.

BUT YOU FLIP IT OVER,

AND IT'S A MINIATURE CAMERA
WITH COMPRESSED AIR INJECTOR.

TAKE A LOOK.

GO AHEAD AND SMILE,
'CAUSE YOU'RE ON TV.

UH, AND --

UH, ANYWAY,
THIS, UM, I --

THERE'S THREE CAMERAS
INSIDE THE TUBE.

I MEAN,
I WANTED TO MAKE FOUR,

BUT THEN THERE WOULDN'T BE ANY
ROOM FOR THE ACTUAL LIP GLOSS.

YOU KNOW, I'LL --
I'LL MAKE YOU A FRESH ONE.

SO YOU'RE MAKING
A FAMILY TREE?

IT'S A PRESENT
FOR MY GRANDPARENTS.

THEY'RE BOTH FROM BUDAPEST,

BUT THEY LOST EVERYTHING
IN THE WAR.

WELL, I'M CERTAIN
YOU WILL FIND

THE DOCUMENTATION
OF THEIR MARRIAGE,

AND YOU SHOULD BE ABLE

TO FIND THEIR REGISTRATION
OF BIRTH.

OUR RECORDS ARE VERY COMPLETE
DATING BACK TO 1895.

OLDER THAN THAT,
UNFORTUNATELY, NOT SO THOROUGH.

GOOD WORK, SYD.

BIRTH RECORDS ARE HERE.

OVER THERE, DOCUMENTATION
OF MARRIAGE AND DEATH.

THE CORRELATION
IS UNINTENDED.

PLEASE.

8-2-4...

ONE PROBLEM.

ALL DOCUMENTS
ARE IN HUNGARIAN.

HOW DO YOU EXPECT
TO KNOW WHAT THEY'RE SAYING?

[ SPEAKS HUNGARIAN ]

THAT'S GOOD.

MY GRANDPARENTS TAUGHT ME.

ALL RIGHT, SYD,
YOU'RE CLEAR.

COMBINATION IS

8-2-4-0-2.

STAND BY, DIXON.
I'M GOING RADIO SILENT.

OKAY, SYD. STANDING BY.

MOUNTAINEER IN POSITION.
COME IN, BOOT CAMP.

COPY THAT, MOUNTAINEER.

STAND BY FOR I.P. ADDRESS,
BOOT CAMP.

BOOT CAMP, I.P. ADDRESS
IS 199.181.134.104.

I HAVE OPENED PORT 47.

Jack: GOOD WORK,
MOUNTAINEER.

GO AHEAD,
GIVE THE DUMMY I.P. TO DIXON.

SEE YOU AT HOME.

COPY THAT.

DIXON, I'VE DISABLED
THE FIREWALL.

THE I.P. ADDRESS IS
259.10.3.179.

GOOD WORK, SYD.

NOW GO GET SOME PICTURES
OF THE WEAPONS

AND WE'RE OUT OF HERE.

THE VIEWING ROOM

IS AROUND THE CORNER
TO YOUR LEFT,

DOOR MARKED...

[ SPEAKS HUNGARIAN ]

COPY THAT.

YOU'RE CLEAR TO EXIT.

OKAY...

GO.

SYDNEY, YOU'VE GOT COMPANY.

TWO GUARDS
COMING ON YOUR LEFT.

[ WHISTLE BLOWS ]

Arvin's voice:
16 NEXT-GENERATION WEAPONS.

[ BLOWS WHISTLE ]

[ TRIGGERS CLICKING ]

Kerr: WE HAD NO IDEA
THE 16 NEXT-GENERATION WEAPONS

WOULD TURN OUT TO BE
CHILDREN.

THEY WERE BEING TRAINED
AS SLEEPER AGENTS?

THAT APPEARS
TO BE THE CASE.

SEE, THE BEST SPIES
HAVE CERTAIN TRAITS --

PROFICIENCY WITH NUMBERS,
3-DIMENSIONAL THINKING,

CREATIVE PROBLEM-SOLVING.

THESE ABILITIES
ARE ALL IN EVIDENCE

AS EARLY AS 5 YEARS OLD.

THIS IS FOOTAGE
THAT WE DOWNLOADED

FROM THE TRIAD COMPUTER.

Vaughn: EVERY FIRST-GRADER
IN THE EUROPEAN UNION

TAKES A STANDARDIZED TEST.

A FEW YEARS AGO,

THE TRIAD ACQUIRED
THE COMPANY DOING THE TESTING

AND ADDED
A SERIES OF QUESTIONS

DESIGNED TO LOCATE CHILDREN
WITH THESE TRAITS.

THIS YEAR,
28 CHILDREN WERE INDICATED.

THEIR PARENTS WERE SENT LETTERS
INVITING THEM TO PARTICIPATE

IN A MONTHLONG
ACHIEVEMENT PROGRAM.

16 ACCEPTED.

6-YEAR-OLDS ACQUIRE KNOWLEDGE
AT AN INCREDIBLE RATE,

SO THE BASIC SKILLS
OF MARKSMANSHIP,

LINGUISTICS, VISUAL,
VERBAL CUE RECOGNITION --

IT CAN ALL BE TAUGHT
IN A MATTER OF WEEKS.

WHO'S HE?

WE'RE STILL WORKING
ON THAT.

SO WHAT HAPPENS TO THESE KIDS
AT THE END OF THE MONTH?

TRIAD SENDS THEM HOME
WITH THE INTENT

THAT WHEN THEY ARE GROWN,

THEY WILL CONTACT
THESE KIDS

AND SEND THEM OUT
IN THE FIELD.

THERE WAS A RUMOR
THAT THE KGB

BEGAN DEVELOPING A SIMILAR
PROGRAM BACK IN THE '80s,

BUT WE NEVER CONFIRMED IT.

BEFORE THESE KIDS
ARE SENT HOME,

THEIR MEMORIES
ARE RESET?

THAT'S RIGHT.

THEY REMEMBER NOTHING

EXCEPT THAT IT WAS
EXTREMELY SATISFYING.

SOMEONE FORGED MY WIFE'S NAME
IN THE REGISTRY

AT HER FAVORITE
BED AND BREAKFAST

WEEKS AFTER HER DEATH.

MY CONCERN IS THAT
IT'S INTENDED TO BE A MESSAGE.

YOU HAVE ENEMIES, ARVIN.

CLEARLY, ONE OF THEM IS TRYING
TO LEVERAGE YOUR GRIEF.

IT'S NOT MY GRIEF.

IT'S MY GUILT.

CANCER DIDN'T KILL EMILY,
JACK.

EMILY'S DOCTOR TOLD US

THAT HER CANCER
WAS IN REMISSION.

THAT VERY DAY,
THE ALLIANCE TOLD ME

THAT I WAS BEING CONSIDERED
FOR PARTNER,

BUT THAT
THERE WAS A PROBLEM.

SOMEHOW EMILY HAD LEARNED
THAT --

WELL, SHE LEARNED ABOUT
MY ASSOCIATION WITH SD-6.

SHE DIDN'T KNOW THE TRUTH.

IN FACT,
SHE ASSUMED THE LIE --

THAT WE'RE A BRANCH
OF THE CIA.

DESPITE THAT,
THE ALLIANCE DECIDED

TO MAKE MY PROMOTION
CONTINGENT ON EMILY'S DEATH.

MY CHOICE WAS AN EASY ONE.

I WASN'T
ABOUT TO KILL MY WIFE.

EMILY WAS NOT
A BARGAINING CHIP.

THEN I TALKED
TO HER DOCTOR,

AND I WAS PERSUADED

THAT DESPITE
THIS TEMPORARY REMISSION,

THAT EMILY'S LYMPHOMA
WOULD RETURN,

AND THAT IT WOULD SLOWLY
AND PAINFULLY KILL HER.

SHE HAD ALREADY SUFFERED
SO MUCH, JACK.

THE THOUGHT OF HER SUCCUMBING
TO THIS MERCILESS ILLNESS

OR BEING KILLED
BY THE ALLIANCE...

SO I DISSOLVED
SODIUM MORPHATE

IN A GLASS OF RED WINE.

THE WINE
PUT HER TO SLEEP,

THE SODIUM MORPHATE
THEN CAUSED A HEART ATTACK.

SHE DIDN'T SUFFER.

WE'LL FIND OUT
WHO'S DOING THIS.

JACK?

SEE WHO ELSE WAS BEING
CONSIDERED FOR PARTNERSHIP.

I WAS GIVEN
A SEAT AT THE TABLE.

THAT MEANS
SOMEONE ELSE WAS NOT.

I HAVE THIS NEW FRIEND
ON MY WORK DETAIL --

TOMMY MARIJUANA.

WE CALL HIM THAT
BECAUSE THERE'S TOMMY MARIJUANA

AND THERE'S
TOMMY CRYSTAL METH.

TOMMY MARIJUANA THINKS
THAT WE'RE ALWAYS

THE PERSON THAT WE WERE
IN 6th GRADE.

6th GRADE WAS AN AWKWARD
PHASE FOR ME.

OH, COME ON.
YOU -- AWKWARD?

YEAH, BIG TEETH
AND LITTLE EYES,

AND I WAS ALWAYS A FOOT TALLER
THAN EVERYONE ELSE,

SO I SORT OF HUNCHED OVER.

I WISH I COULD HAVE
SEEN THAT.

WHEN I WAS IN 6th GRADE,
I WAS JUST SORT OF ANONYMOUS.

YOU KNOW,
YOU HAD THE SMART KID

AND THE FUNNY KID
AND THE GOOD ATHLETE.

AND I WAS JUST WILL.

THEY'RE PUTTING MY MOM
ON TRIAL.

THEY'RE GONNA ASK
FOR THE DEATH PENALTY.

AND THE ONLY WAY
I'M ABLE TO DEAL WITH IT

IS TO TELL MYSELF

THAT WOMAN WAS NEVER
REALLY MY MOTHER.

THE IRONY IS

SINCE SHE'S BEEN BACK,

MY FATHER AND I ARE CLOSER
THAN WE'VE EVER BEEN.

[ PAGER BEEPS ]

IT'S VAUGHN.

I HAVE TO GO.

HEY, VAUGHN,

THE GUY WITH THE SEMTEX --
DE SOUZA --

ARE WE SUPPOSED TO BE
LOOKING INTO THAT?
EXCUSE ME?

I'M JUST WONDERING,
IS THAT OUR CASE,

OR WERE YOU PURSUING IT
INDEPENDENTLY?

I DON'T KNOW
WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT.

DAILY SITUATION REPORT SAYS
THE GUY WAS HERE YESTERDAY

ON A TRANSFER ORDER.

YOU'RE LISTED
AS VISITING HIM.

VAUGHN?

NO, IT'S NOT OUR CASE.

HELLO, SYDNEY.

DAD, HI.

AGENT VAUGHN
CONTACTED YOU?

YEAH.

HAVE WE IDENTIFIED
THE MAN FROM BUDAPEST

WITH THE CHILDREN?

YES. VALERIE KHOLOKOV.

IT'S KHOLOKOV?

YOU'VE HEARD OF HIM?

YEAH. HE USED TO RUN
KGB's PSYCH OPS DIVISION --

MIND CONTROL EXPERIMENTS,
PSYCHOACTIVE DRUGS.

I THOUGHT HE WAS DEAD.

WELL, SO DID WE,
BUT APPARENTLY

AFTER KGB DISSOLVED,
HE WENT OVER TO THE TRIAD.

A FACIAL RECOGNITION SCANNER
AT THE AIRPORT IN BUENOS AIRES

IDENTIFIED HIM YESTERDAY.

WHAT'S HE DOING
IN BUENOS AIRES?

HE HAS A HOUSE THERE.

THE PROJECT IN BUDAPEST
IS COMPLETED.

A TEAM IS RAIDING THAT FACILITY
AS WE SPEAK.

THE CHILDREN
HAVE ALL RETURNED HOME,

AND WE HAVE SURVEILLANCE TEAMS
MONITORING EACH OF THEM.

IF THE TRIAD EVER MAKES
CONTACT, WE'LL INTERCEDE.

WE NEED TO GRAB KHOLOKOV,
SEE HOW MANY OTHER KIDS

HE'S DONE THIS TO,
WHO THEY ARE, WHERE THEY ARE.

THERE'S A TEAM PREPPING NOW.

GOOD.
I WANT TO GO WITH THEM.

NO. SENDING YOU TO BUENOS AIRES
WOULD BE AN UNNECESSARY RISK.

KHOLOKOV HAS A PRIVATE
SECURITY DETAIL,

EXTERNAL AND INTERNAL
ALARM SYSTEMS --

DAD, WHEN I SIGNED UP
WITH SD-6, I WANTED TO JOIN.

WHEN I FOUND OUT
THE TRUTH...

I MEAN, THESE KIDS --

I KNOW WHAT IT'S LIKE
TO BE USED.

I'M GOING TO BUENOS AIRES.

TEAM LEAVES IN 12 HOURS.

OKAY. ANYTHING ELSE?

THAT'S ALL.

I'M GOING TO PACK.

I SAW DE SOUZA.

HE TOLD ME THAT YOU HIRED HIM
TO RIG THOSE EXPLOSIVES.

IRINA DEREVKO WOULD EAGERLY
DESTROY ALL OF OUR LIVES.

I'M NOT A BIG FAN,
EITHER.

IT STILL DOESN'T JUSTIFY
WHAT YOU DID.

YOU DO GOOD WORK,
AGENT VAUGHN,

BUT YOUR CONSISTENT
SHORTCOMING --

YOU SHOULD KNOW THIS --

IS YOUR NAIVE
SENSE OF MORALITY.

EVIL MUST BE ELIMINATED
BY WHATEVER MEANS NECESSARY.

I DON'T THINK
SYDNEY WOULD AGREE WITH THAT.

SYDNEY WILL NEVER KNOW
ABOUT WHAT I'VE DONE.

YOU BETRAYED HER TRUST.

I WON'T.

NOW, SHE SHOULD HEAR IT
FROM YOU,

BUT IF YOU DON'T TELL HER,

I PROMISE YOU, I WILL.

[ OPERA PLAYING ]

[ DIALS ]

Man: YES, SIR?

WHY IS MY SECURITY SYSTEM
DISABLED?

IT WAS DISENGAGED ON SITE,
SIR, 10 MINUTES AGO.

I'LL PUT THE SYSTEM
BACK ON-LINE, SIR.

SIR?

IS EVERYTHING OKAY?

[ TRANQUILIZER DART SHOOTS ]

I'M GOING IN.

THE GUARD'S BEEN SEDATED.

COPY THAT, MOUNTAINEER.

[ BEEPING ]

I MAKE FOUR GUARDS
IN THE COURTYARD.

KHOLOKOV JUST WENT INSIDE.

GET INTO POSITION.

I'M HEADING
TO THE JUNCTURE BOX.

YOU TAKE THE GUARDS.
I GOT KHOLOKOV.

ON MY SIGNAL.

AND THAT'S IN 3...

2...1...

GO.

[ GUNFIRE ]

[ CRACKLING ]

AAH!

[ SPEAKS RUSSIAN ]

[ PANTING ]

YOU GOOD?

YES. IT'S HIM.
IT'S KHOLOKOV.

[ KHOLOKOV GROANING ]

NICE JOB.

YOU WANT ME
TO HYPNOTIZE YOU?

I WANT YOU TO TAKE ME BACK
TO WHENEVER IT WAS

I FIRST SAW THAT PUZZLE.

BUT YOU SAY
YOU DON'T REMEMBER

EVER SEEING THAT PUZZLE.

I MUST HAVE.

AGENT BRISTOW,
I'VE SEEN YOUR PROFILE.

YOUR SPATIAL INTELLIGENCE
IS STELLAR.

IT'S NO SURPRISE
THAT YOU CAN SOLVE THE PUZZLE.

BUT I WASN'T SOLVING IT.

WHEN I WAS STANDING THERE
STARING AT THAT PUZZLE,

IT WAS LIKE I REMEMBERED
WHERE EVERY PIECE BELONGED.

THERE WASN'T ANY THOUGHT
INVOLVED.

HE SAID THE KGB DEVELOPED
A SIMILAR PROJECT.

IT'S POSSIBLE THAT MY MOTHER
KNEW THE TECHNIQUES,

AND MAYBE SHE --

AGENT BRISTOW...

IF YOU ARE LOOKING
TO UNCOVER A TRAUMA,

THEN I NEED TO WARN YOU.

HYPNOTIC REGRESSION
CAN TRIGGER SEVERE NIGHTMARES,

FLASHBACKS,
ACUTE DEPRESSION.

UNDERSTAND
THAT TO DO WHAT I DO --

MAINTAIN MY COVER AT SD-6 --
I COMPARTMENTALIZE A LOT.

BUT THE IDEA THAT I MIGHT
HAVE BEEN PROGRAMMED

TO BE A SPY --

I CAN'T TUCK THAT AWAY.

I NEED TO KNOW
WHAT HAPPENED TO ME.

UH, EXCUSE ME, SIR.
I ANALYZED THE WINE.

IS THIS A GOOD TIME?

THERE'S NO FINGERPRINTS
ON THE GLASS.

THE WINE IS A '99
HADLEY CABERNET FRANC.

UNREMARKABLE VINTAGE.

WHAT IS REMARKABLE
IS WHAT I EXTRACTED

FROM INSIDE THE WINE.

I WAS SO SURPRISED
THAT I REDID THE TEST,

BUT I'M CERTAIN
IT'S VTX,

A CALCIUM-BASED
ANTIDOTE.

EXTREMELY SCARCE.

ANTIDOTE TO WHAT?

MAINLY HEART ATTACK-INDUCING
TOXINS,

KERTOTIC ACID, UM,
SODIUM MORPHATE.

VTX SIMULATES DEATH.

IT SLOWS THE LUNGS,
NEARLY STOPS THE HEART,

WHICH IS HOW IT PREVENTS
THE POISONS

FROM CAUSING CARDIAC ARREST.

AND THEN WHEN THE VTX
IS METABOLIZED,

THE, UH, BODY,
IT RETURNS TO NORMAL.

SO IF SOMEONE WHO WAS POISONED
BY SODIUM MORPHATE

WERE GIVEN VTX,

THEY WOULD APPEAR TO DIE?

YES, SIR.

WELL, ASSUMING THEY HAD
NO OTHER HEART CONDITIONS,

IN 8 TO 12 HOURS, THEY --

THEY WOULD BE JUST FINE.

I'M GOING TO COUNT BACK
FROM 3.

WHEN I GET TO 1,

I WANT YOU TO TELL ME
WHERE YOU ARE.

3...

2...

1.

WHERE ARE YOU, SYDNEY?

IT'S ME...

IN MY ROOM...

WHEN I WAS LITTLE.

TELL ME IF YOU SEE ANYTHING
THAT RESEMBLES THE PUZZLES

WE'RE LOOKING FOR.

Jack: I'M TAKING CARE
OF CHRISTMAS.

THAT'LL BE SOON.

CHRISTMAS IS ALL SET.

YES, I SEE IT.

NOTHING CAN HAPPEN
TO YOU NOW, SYDNEY.

YOU'RE SAFE.

[ WHIMPERING ]

SYDNEY, I WANT YOU
TO LISTEN TO ME.

JUST BREATHE.

BREATHE.
FOCUS ON THE PUZZLE.

FOCUS ON THE PUZZLE.

GOOD, SYDNEY.

VERY GOOD.

LOOK AROUND YOU.

TELL ME WHO ELSE
IS IN THE ROOM.

GOOD WORK, SYDNEY.

SYDNEY, GET IN.

WHAT IS IT?

I HAVE THIS MEMORY --

WHEN I WAS 6 YEARS OLD.

MY MOTHER HAD JUST DIED
IN A CAR ACCIDENT.

I FELT SO SCARED.

YOU WERE NEVER HOME.

SO WHO WAS GOING
TO TAKE CARE OF ME?

THEN I OVERHEARD YOU
TALKING.

YOU WERE IN YOUR STUDY
ON THE PHONE.

YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT
CHRISTMAS, ABOUT ME.

YOU WERE TAKING CARE
OF MY CHRISTMAS PRESENTS.

SUDDENLY, I --

I FELT SO SAFE.

YOU WERE TAKING CARE
OF ME.

THAT MEMORY'S A LIE.

YOU WEREN'T TALKING
ABOUT THAT AT ALL.

SYDNEY --

I'VE SEEN THE FOOTAGE --

MOM'S BRIEFINGS
WITH HER KGB HANDLERS.

SHE WAS SENT HERE
FOR ONE SPECIFIC PURPOSE --

TO STEAL INFORMATION
FROM YOU

ABOUT A PROJECT YOU WERE
DEVELOPING FOR THE CIA,

AN OPERATION
TO TRAIN CHILDREN

TO BE AMERICAN SPIES.

PROJECT CHRISTMAS.

EVER SINCE MOM CAME BACK,
YOU WERE AFRAID

SHE'D FIGURE OUT
WHAT YOU DID TO ME.

YOU WEREN'T TRYING
TO PROTECT ME FROM HER.

YOU WERE TRYING TO PROTECT
YOUR SECRET.

SO, THE FIRST OPPORTUNITY
YOU HAD, YOU SET HER UP...

IN MADAGASCAR.

SYDNEY,
UNDERSTAND SOMETHING.

NO, DAD,
YOU UNDERSTAND SOMETHING.

YOU TOOK AWAY
MY CHOICES IN LIFE.

YOU PROGRAMMED ME
TO BE A SPY.

I WILL NEVER FORGIVE YOU
FOR THIS.
