Alias (2001–2006): Season 3, Episode 15 - Facade - full transcript

PREVIOUSLY ON "ALIAS"...

TRUSTING YOU --

TRUSTING ANYONE --
WILL TAKE TIME.

YOU KNOW SO MUCH ABOUT ME.

I KNOW ALMOST NOTHING
ABOUT YOU.

I WANT TO...VERY MUCH.

A COVENANT OFFICIAL
WANTS TO DEFECT --

LEONID LISENKER.

IN EXCHANGE FOR HIS
EXTRACTION AND IMMUNITY,

HE'S WILLING TO TURN OVER
EVERYTHING HE KNOWS

ABOUT THE COVENANT.



BELIEVE IT OR NOT,
THESE SCHEMATICS

ARE TWO TIMES SCALE,
MEANING THIS PLASMA CHARGE

IS ONLY 6 INCHES IN DIAMETER.

BUT IT PACKS A WALLOP.

FREEZE!

GIVE ME THE BOMB.

[ ALARM WAILING,
PEOPLE SHOUTING ]

OUT THERE! HURRY UP!
MOVE IT NOW!

COME ON! FOLLOW ME!

THIS IS
WAY OUT OF MY LEAGUE.

MOTION SENSOR.

A DEDICATED BOARD

RUNNING GOD KNOWS
HOW MANY PROGRAMS.

THERE'S NO WAY
WE'D SHUT THIS DOWN IN TIME.



OUR BEST BET IS TO TRY
AND DEFUSE THE MOTION SENSOR

AND GET THIS THING OFF SITE
IN A BLAST CONTAINMENT VESSEL

BEFORE IT VAPORIZES
THE BLOCK.

CAN YOU DO THAT?

I'VE FOUND THE LEAD
TO THE MOTION SENSOR.

I'M CUTTING IT.

IT'S NO GOOD.

IT'S STILL OPERATIONAL.
IT MUST BE LOOPED.

WHAT THE HELL DO WE DO NOW?

YOUR GUESS IS AS GOOD
AS MINE.

MY KID'S FAVORITE COLOR
IS RED.

THE WICKLOW NATIONAL BANK
BUILDING --

OR WHAT'S LEFT OF IT.

DO WE KNOW
WHO'S RESPONSIBLE?

HIS NAME IS DANIEL RYAN.

THIS MORNING WE INTERCEPTED
A MESSAGE

HE SENT TO THE COVENANT
TAKING CREDIT FOR THE BOMBING.

RYAN'S FORMER ROYAL NAVY.
EXPLOSIVE ORDINANCE DISPOSAL.

AFTER HIS DISHONORABLE
DISCHARGE,

HE WENT FROM DISPOSING BOMBS
TO DESIGNING THEM.

HE'S WORKED WITH THE COVENANT
IN THE PAST

AND WANTS TO SELL THEM
HIS LATEST PRODUCT.

SO HE DISPLAYS
THEIR EFFECTIVENESS

BY DESTROYING A DOWNTOWN
OFFICE BUILDING?

ACTUALLY, RYAN ALERTED
LOCAL AUTHORITIES,

GAVE THEM TIME
TO EVACUATE THE BUILDING.

SO HE'S A HUMANITARIAN
BOMBER.

HIS GOAL WAS TO PROVIDE
A STATE-OF-THE-ART BOMB SQUAD

AMPLE OPPORTUNITY
TO DEACTIVATE HIS CREATION.

HE WANTED THE BOMB SQUAD
CALLED IN?

WELL, MAYBE 'CAUSE HE KNEW
THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO.

THE BOMB YOU RECOVERED
LAST WEEK --

I'VE GOT THAT ONE
IN MY WORKSHOP.

NOW, ACCORDING TO THE BOMB
SQUAD'S VOICE RECORDING,

RYAN MADE
ONE SIGNIFICANT UPGRADE.

ANYBODY EVER HEAR
OF QUANTUM ENTANGLEMENT?

RAISE YOUR --

NO. TO MAKE
A LONG STORY SHORT,

THE THEORY IS
THIS BOMB CAN'T BE DEFUSED.

OH, AND COMPARED
TO HIS PREVIOUS VERSION,

IT'S GOT TWICE THE YIELD.

RYAN INDICATED THAT
NEGOTIATIONS WITH THE COVENANT

WILL BE EXCLUSIVE
FOR 48 HOURS.

IF THERE IS NO AGREEMENT
AT THAT TIME,

HE WILL DETONATE
A SECOND BOMB,

TARGETED AGAINST AMERICA,
TO ELICIT BIDS

FROM TERRORIST GROUPS
HOSTILE TO OUR INTERESTS.

BUT IF THE COVENANT IS
INTERESTED IN MAKING AN OFFER,

HE INSTRUCTED THEM
TO CONTACT HIM TOMORROW NIGHT

AT A PUB CALLED
THE BLACK STAG IN BELFAST.

OUR OPTIONS -- EXTRACT RYAN
AND FORCE HIS COOPERATION,

OR GET HIM TO DO SO VOLUNTARILY
BY POSING AS THE COVENANT.

WELL, HOW CAN WE DO THAT?
WE DON'T KNOW

WHAT THEIR RELATIONSHIP IS.
ISN'T THAT TOO RISKY?

THERE ARE VARIABLES, YES.

BUT IF OUR GOALS ARE
TO PREVENT A SECOND BOMBING

AND TO LEARN WHO RYAN'S
PARTNERS MIGHT BE,

THE BEST WAY TO DO THAT
IS BY GAINING HIS TRUST.

WHAT ABOUT LISENKER --
LEONID LISENKER,

THE COVENANT DEFECTOR?
HE'S STILL IN CUSTODY.

HE MIGHT BE ABLE TO DETAIL

RYAN'S RELATIONSHIP
WITH THE COVENANT.

FOR NOW, WE SPEC OUT
BOTH APPROACHES.

SYDNEY,
YOU QUESTION LISENKER.

VAUGHN, YOU AND WEISS
DETAIL THE MISSION

IF WE GO IN AS CIA.

WE'LL MEET IN TWO HOURS.

I BELIEVE IN AMERICA.

AMERICA HAS GIVEN ME NEW LIFE

AWAY FROM THE COVENANT.

I WAS HOPING YOU COULD TELL ME
SOMETHING ABOUT THIS MAN.

DANIEL RYAN
WAS CRITICAL TO THE IRA

WHEN THEY WERE
IN THE BOMBING BUSINESS.

HE'S BECOME
AN INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR

SINCE SINN FEIN
WENT STRAIGHT

YEAR BEFORE LAST.

YOUR CIGARETTES
ARE FOR CRAP.

BUT I LOVE CABLE TELEVISION
IN THIS COUNTRY.

I AM ENJOYING VERY MUCH
THIS PICTURE, UM,

"MIAMI VICE."

RYAN IS SELLING A NEW WEAPON
TO THE COVENANT.

WE'RE CONSIDERING
ACQUIRING IT

BY POSING AS THE COVENANT.

FOR THIS TO WORK,
WE NEED YOU TO TELL US

EVERYTHING YOU KNOW ABOUT
RYAN'S INTERACTIONS WITH THEM --

PROTOCOLS, CONTACTS.

I WAS NEVER DIRECTLY
INVOLVED IN PROCUREMENT,

BUT I DID TWO DEALS
WITH RYAN.

I CAN TELL YOU
WHAT HE WILL BE EXPECTING,

AND THAT HIS CONTACT
IS VLADIMIR ANDROJNEV.

HOW IS AGENT VAUGHN?

WHEN YOU TOOK ME
FROM NORTH KOREA,

I SAW A STRONG CONNECTION.
YES?

WE KNOW THE FIRST CONTACT
IS MADE IN BELFAST.

WHAT HAPPENS AFTER THAT?

HEY, WHERE'S LAUREN?
I HAVEN'T SEEN HER ALL DAY.

SHE'S IN WASHINGTON.
MONTHLY DEBRIEF AT DCI,

PLUS A COUPLE DAYS
WITH HER FAMILY.

AND HOW IS THE SENATOR?

I LIKE THE SENATOR.

AND HOW'S YOUR MARRIAGE
DOING?

HOW WAS LISENKER?

HELPFUL.
WE SHOULD GO TELL DIXON.

WHAT, I CAN'T ASK
MY BUDDY --

MY MARRIAGE IS FANTASTIC.

YEAH, I CAN TELL.

[ IRISH MUSIC PLAYING ]

HOW YOU DOING THERE?

WHO ARE YOU?

I'M A U.S. FEDERAL AGENT.

IN COOPERATION
WITH LOCAL AUTHORITIES,

I'M PLACING YOU UNDER ARREST FOR
TRANSPORTING ILLEGAL EXPLOSIVES

WITH AN INTENT TO KILL.

YOU'VE PUT ON WEIGHT.

SO HAVE YOU.

YOUR FRIENDS IN THE COVENANT
AREN'T HERE YET.

COME ON.
CAR'S OUT BACK.

ALL RIGHT, COME ON,
MOVE IT.

THERE'S OBVIOUSLY
BEEN A MISTAKE.

I'VE DONE NOTHING WRONG.

RIGHT. TELL THAT TO
THE FAMILIES OF YOUR VICTIMS.

GET DOWN! OFFICERS DOWN!
I NEED HELP NOW!

WE NEED TO HURRY.

I'M EMMA WARFIELD.
ANDROJNEV SENT ME.

THIS IS NOT WHAT
WE AGREED.

WELL, NOT BEFORE YOUR STUPIDITY
LED THE CIA TO THE MEETING.

I DON'T KNOW YOU.

EVERY COP IN THE CITY
IS GOING TO BE HERE

IN FIVE MINUTES.

YOU MAY NOT KNOW ME,
BUT I DID YOU A FAVOR.

[ DART SHOOTS ]

[ GROANING ]

WE'RE GOOD.

BOY SCOUT TO BASE CAMP.
WE'VE GOT THE PACKAGE.

THAT WAS GOOD, RIGHT?

THAT'S CALLED METHOD ACTING.

I WAS SHOT IN THE NECK
ONCE.

I CAN DO IT AGAIN.

WE'VE GOT TO MOVE.

ACCORDING TO LISENKER,

RYAN ALWAYS DOES BUSINESS
WITH THE COVENANT

AT THE COMMODORE HOTEL
IN MOSCOW, ROOM 305.

I STILL I THINK
IT WOULD BE EASIER

TO JUST SIC YOUR FATHER
ON HIM.

WE HAVE 27 HOURS BEFORE RYAN
SETS OFF ANOTHER BOMB.

OUR BEST CHANCE TO PREVENT THAT
IS TO LET HIM KNOW

THAT HIS FIRST DEMONSTRATION
CONVINCED US TO BUY

EVERY WEAPON HE CAN PRODUCE.

YEAH, US BEING THE COVENANT
BASED ON INTEL RECEIVED

FROM SOMEONE WE MAY
OR MAY NOT BE ABLE TO TRUST.

LISENKER DEFECTED.

HE HATES THE COVENANT
AS MUCH AS ANYONE,

AND HE'S ALL WE'VE GOT.

HOW'S THE INSPECTION
GOING?

UH, GOOD. WHOA.

LISENKER REJECTED
THE FRUIT BASKET.

SAID IT WOULD COST
A FORTUNE IN MOSCOW

THIS TIME OF YEAR.

OH, AND WE NEED A CEILING.

[ DRILLING ]

UH, THAT'S ACTUALLY
RUSSIAN SATELLITE TELEVISION.

I HACKED IT OFF
DUBNA VISA COMMUNICATIONS.

Weiss:
THERE. NOW LOWER IT.

EVERYTHING IS TO SPEC.

THE BEDSHEETS
ARE 700 THREAD COUNT.

THE MINIBAR IS STOCKED
WITH BIKUL,

AND THE HOTEL INSIGNIA HAS BEEN
STITCHED INTO THE BATHROBES.

WHAT IF HE WANTS
TO TAKE A WALK?

WELL,
I DON'T THINK HE WILL,

BUT IF HE DOES, HE CAN GO
AS FAR AS THE ELEVATOR.

ONCE HE PRESSES "LOBBY,"
WE'RE MADE.

OKAY, WE'RE READY.

YOU CAN WEAN HIM
OFF THE METHOHEXITAL.

AND NOW, THE SOUNDTRACK
OF OUR LIVES.

[ CHURCH BELL TOLLS,
TRAFFIC NOISE ]

HERE WE GO.

[ TELEPHONE RINGS ]

[ Russian accent ]
GOOD EVENING, MR. RYAN.

WELCOME BACK
TO THE COMMODORE.

HOW MAY I HELP YOU?

YOU CAN START BY TELLING ME
HOW I GOT HERE.

I JUST CAME ON DUTY, SIR,

BUT YOU DO HAVE ONE MESSAGE
FROM YOUR ATTORNEY.

MY ATTORNEY?

THIS IS HOW ANDROJNEV IS KNOWN.
I'M SURE OF IT.

YES, HE CALLED AT 6:15

TO APOLOGIZE FOR BEING
UNABLE TO MEET WITH YOU.

THE COLLEAGUE HE SENT
IN HIS PLACE

IS FULLY CAPABLE
OF EXECUTING

THE NECESSARY DOCUMENTS.

THAT IS ALL.

[ Hangs up ]

THANK YOU.

SYD, YOU'RE UP.

YOU'RE AWAKE.

THAT'S GOOD.

WE CAN DO BUSINESS.

I DO BUSINESS
WITH ANDROJNEV.

YOUR PRODUCT DEMONSTRATION
IN BELFAST WAS IMPRESSIVE.

WE'D LIKE TO PURCHASE
YOUR NEW WEAPON.

WHILE I APPRECIATE
YOUR HAIRSTYLE,

AS I SAID,
I DO BUSINESS WITH ANDROJNEV.

DO YOU KNOW WHAT THE CIA WOULD
HAVE DONE WITH YOU IN CUSTODY?

THEY WOULD HAVE EXECUTED YOU
AS AN ENEMY OF THE STATE.

UNLESS
YOU HAVE A DEATH WISH,

YOU WILL DO AS I INSTRUCT.

THESE WINDOWS HAVE BEEN
MADE BULLETPROOF

WITH KEVLAR
FOR YOUR PROTECTION.

THREE OFFICERS,
INCLUDING A CIA AGENT,

WERE KILLED
TRYING TO ARREST YOU.

YOU'RE ALL OVER THE NEWS.

CUE THE NEWSCAST.

PATCHING IT
INTO THE FEED.

ROLL CAMERA.

AUTHORITIES...

POLICE CONFIRM THEY DO HAVE
SEVERAL LEADS

AND ARE WORKING TO BRING
THE INVESTIGATION

TO A SWIFT CONCLUSION.

FEW DETAILS HAVE BEEN GIVEN
TO NEWS ORGANIZATIONS,

BUT A PHOTOGRAPH WAS RELEASED
OF THIS MAN,

WHO WAS NOT ONLY INVOLVED
IN THE RAID,

BUT WHO POLICE SAY
WAS RESPONSIBLE

FOR THE WICKLOW NATIONAL BANK
BLAST LAST WEDNESDAY.

THE CIA IS WORKING
WITH INTERPOL

AS WELL AS LOCAL LAW ENFORCEMENT
IN PURSUIT OF THIS MAN

AND THOSE RESPONSIBLE.

YOU WILL AGREE TO OUR TERMS

AND CALL OFF
THE SECOND DEMONSTRATION.

IT'S UNNECESSARY,
AND WILL ONLY SERVE

TO DRAW UNWANTED ATTENTION.

BEFORE ANDROJNEV,
MY CONTACT WAS PANACH.

I DEAL WITH HIM.

OKAY?

IT IS A TRAP.

YOU KNOW THE GUY
HE'S TALKING ABOUT?

THE GUY'S A WOMAN.
I MUST SPEAK WITH SYDNEY.

HELLO, SYDNEY, IT'S LEONID.
LISTEN TO ME.

IVANA PANACH IS DEAD --
WAS KILLED.

SHE WAS KILLED
IN SLOVENIA LAST YEAR.

YOU KNOW THIS.

THAT'S WHY
YOUR HANDLERS WERE SWITCHED.

ANY OTHER TESTS?

YEAH. I DON'T FEEL SAFE HERE.
I WANT TO LEAVE THIS PLACE.

YOU LEAVE THIS HOTEL ROOM,
YOU'RE A DEAD MAN.

YOU'RE SCARED I'LL GO
TO THE COVENANT.

IN ADDITION TO BEING A TARGET
OF THE CIA, MR. RYAN,

YOU ARE ALSO A SECURITY RISK
TO THE COVENANT.

YOU HAVE INFORMATION THAT
COULD COMPROMISE OUR OPERATION.

WAS THAT A THREAT?

I'VE BEEN THREATENED
BEFORE.

IT WAS LIKE A THREAT.

YOU LEAVE THIS ROOM,
I WILL KILL YOU MYSELF.

THERE'S LOADS OF THINGS
I'M NO GOOD AT.

SOME I'M EXCEPTIONAL AT.

ONE OF THEM IS POKER.

AH, LOVE POKER.
PLAY TWICE A WEEK.

MY FRIENDS COME AROUND,

THEY BRING THEIR MONEY,
THEY LOSE THEIR MONEY.

I ALWAYS WIN.
DO YOU KNOW WHY?

I CAN SEE A BLUFF
A MILE AWAY.

TAKE OFF THE HEADSET.
IF YOU REALLY ARE
THE COVENANT,

YOU WON'T KILL ME.
DO IT!

NOT WHEN I'VE GOT
SOMETHING THAT YOU WANT.

[ COCKS GUN ]

MR. RYAN.

YOU PLAYED YOUR HAND,
DARLING.

[ BELL DINGS ]

HELLO, DANIEL!

ANDROJNEV TOLD ME
YOU RETURNED,

SO I TOOK THE LIBERTY
OF COMING OVER.

SORRY. WERE YOU
GOING SOMEWHERE?

UM...I WAS, YEAH,
BUT THAT CAN WAIT.

UH...DO YOU WANT
TO COME--

Leonid: HELLO, EMMA.
IT'S GOOD TO SEE YOU.

LEONID, WHAT
AN UNEXPECTED SURPRISE.

YOU VOUCH FOR THIS ONE?

DANIEL, I KNOW ABOUT
BELFAST.

YOUR EXTRACTION WAS CLEARED
TO THE HIGHEST LEVELS.

EMMA SAVED YOUR LIFE.

YOU SHOULD KISS HER --
WHATEVER SHE WANTS.

OKAY. [ Clears throat ]

THE TERMS ARE ACCEPTABLE,

ON ONE CONDITION.

THE DETAILS FOR TRANSFER
AND MATERIALS, BLUEPRINTS

HAVE TO BE HANDLED
BY THE CO-CHAIR

OF THE NORTH AMERICAN CELL.

I DEAL DIRECTLY
WITH MR. SARK.

OKAY?

YOU'RE IN NO POSITION
TO MAKE SUCH A DEMAND.

AS LONG AS I'VE GOT
WHAT YOU WANT, I AM.

MR. SARK IS IN TOWN
ON BUSINESS.

FOR AN IMPORTANT SUPPLIER
SUCH AS YOURSELF, I'M, UH...

I'M SURE HE WOULD BE HAPPY
TO OBLIGE.

HAPPY TO OBLIGE?!
IF YOU'LL LET ME EXPLAIN --

EXPLAIN WHAT?
IN CASE YOU'VE FORGOTTEN,

WE'RE NOT REALLY COVENANT.
WE CAN'T PRODUCE SARK.

SARK HAS NEVER MET RYAN.

ARE YOU SURE OF THIS?

YES.

THAT WASN'T A YES.
THAT WAS A NO.

WHAT I KNOW IS
THE ONLY CHANCE YOU HAVE

OF GETTING WHAT YOU WANT
IS TO SEND SOMEONE IN THERE

POSING AS MR. SARK.

[ Imitating Sark ]
MR. RYAN, I'M JULIAN SARK.

THEY SAID YOU WAS
A PRETTY BOY.

WHEN AND WHERE CAN I
ACQUIRE YOUR PRODUCT?

THE INFORMATION YOU NEED
IS ON A DISK

MY ASSOCIATE WILL CARRY
ABOARD NUAGE AIR FLIGHT 212,

TOMORROW EVENING'S FLIGHT
FROM ROME TO PARIS.

YOU'LL PURCHASE TWO ADJACENT
SEATS ON THAT FLIGHT,

AND 20 MINUTES
OUTSIDE ROME,

MY ASSOCIATE WILL COME
AND SIT NEXT TO YOU,

AND THE TRANSFER
WILL BE MADE.

IT'S ELABORATE,
BUT AT 35,000 FEET,

NO CHANCE OF SURVEILLANCE.

THIS ASSOCIATE,
HOW WILL I KNOW HIM?

YOU'LL KNOW HIM.
YOU'VE WORKED WITH HIM BEFORE.

HE'S A FRIEND.

Dixon: MEANING
FOR THIS TO WORK,

WE NEED THE REAL SARK
TO BE ON THAT PLANE.

ANY IDEAS
HOW WE CAN DO THAT?

THE SECOND DEMONSTRATION
IS SCHEDULED

TO TAKE PLACE
TOMORROW AFTERNOON.

I ASSUME IT WILL BE
CALLED OFF.

WHEN MY ASSOCIATE SEES YOU,

THEY'LL KNOW WE'VE COME
TO TERMS,

AND BRING THAT ISSUE
TO A CLOSE.

WE'RE AGREED THEN?

WE ARE INDEED, MR. SARK.

WE KNOW THE FREQUENCY

RYAN BROADCAST HIS INITIAL
COMMUNIQUé OVER, RIGHT?

YES, WE INTERCEPTED IT.

THEN TO GET SARK
ON THE PLANE,

ALL WE HAVE TO DO IS PUT OUT
A COMMUNIQUé FROM RYAN

TO THE COVENANT WHICH DETAILS
THE TERMS HE JUST LAID OUT.

IF WE CAN MAKE SARK BELIEVE
THIS IS A WAY TO ACQUIRE

RYAN'S NEW TECHNOLOGY,
HE MAY BITE.

HOW MUCH TIME BEFORE HE
SETS OFF THE NEXT BOMB?

LESS THAN 18 HOURS.

ALL RIGHT. GET MARSHALL
ON THE INTERCEPT.

YOU WORK ON THE COMMUNIQUé.

VAUGHN,
I WANT YOU ON THAT PLANE.

YOU PLAYED SARK. YOUR JOB NOW
IS TO SHADOW HIM.

THE AIRLINE DATABASE

SHOWS ALL TICKETED PASSENGERS
HAVE CHECKED IN

EXCEPT A MR. AND MRS.
CLIVE BRISANT.

WELCOME ABOARD,
MR. BRISANT.

WOULD YOU CARE FOR A GLASS
OF WINE BEFORE TAKEOFF?

THAT WOULD BE LOVELY.

I'VE GOT A TWENTY
ON OUR MARK.

I HAVE YOUR WIFE LISTED
ON THE PASSENGER MANIFEST.

YES, SHE WAS PLANNING ON
MAKING THE TRIP,

BUT SHE WASN'T FEELING
TOO WELL, THE POOR DEAR.

CHEERS.

MAYBE THIS WILL WORK OUT
AFTER ALL.

[ Line rings ]

SYDNEY, IT'S ME.

HAS RYAN'S CONTACT
ARRIVED?

NO, AND SOMETHING TELLS ME
HE'S NOT GOING TO.

THE APPROACH WAS TO BE MADE
20 MINUTES AFTER TAKEOFF.

THEY'VE BEEN IN THE AIR
ALMOST AN HOUR.

TELL MR. SARK
TO BE PATIENT.

CALL YOUR PARTNER.
TELL HIM THE DEAL'S OFF.

AFRAID THAT WON'T BE
POSSIBLE.

Sydney:
THERE IS NO MEETING.
RYAN MADE US?

I DON'T THINK SO. I DON'T THINK
THERE WAS EVER A MEETING.

WHAT, THIS WAS STAGED?

YES. THE WHOLE THING, JUST TO
GET SARK ON THAT PLANE.

WE'RE REVIEWING
HIS PSYCH PROFILE,

RE-INTERVIEWING EVERYONE WHO
MIGHT GIVE US SOME INSIGHT,

A LEAD, ANYTHING.

WHATEVER RYAN'S MOTIVE,
HE HAS PRESENTED US

WITH AN OPPORTUNITY
WE MUST ACT ON.

YOU ARE TO TAKE SARK
INTO CUSTODY.

WE WILL HAVE A TEAM IN PLACE
WHEN YOU LAND IN PARIS.

I UNDERSTAND.

HELLO.

HI.

I'M A FEDERAL AGENT,

AND THERE IS A SUSPECT
I NEED TO TAKE INTO CUSTODY.

IT HAS TO BE DONE
VERY QUIETLY.

IS THERE
A MARSHAL ONBOARD?

NO, I'M AFRAID NOT.

IS HE ON THE LINE?

GOOD.

TELL ME ABOUT DANIEL RYAN.

OH, YES, I READ ABOUT
WHAT HAPPENED IN BELFAST.

THAT WAS A TERRIBLE
TRAGEDY.

WHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT HIM?

RYAN IS A FREELANCE SUPPLIER
OF ADVANCED ORDINANCE.

HE USED TO BE RELIABLY
LEFTIST.

HE SUPPLIED CAUSES --
IRAs, ZAPATISTAS.

NOW HE'S STRICTLY
MERCENARY.

WHAT CHANGED?

HIS BROTHER
CHRISTOPHER RYAN,

HE'S THE POLITICAL ONE.

THEY USED TO WORK TOGETHER
UP UNTIL,

OH, SOMETIME LAST YEAR.

CHRISTOPHER DISAPPEARED.

THE RUMOR IS THE COVENANT
HAD THEM KILLED.

THE COVENANT
KILLED HIS BROTHER,

AND HE STILL WANTS
TO WORK WITH THEM?

IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE?

NO.

I'M AFRAID
THAT'S ALL I HAVE.

THANK YOU.

OKAY, RYAN'S BROTHER --
BAD DUDE.

BOMBING AT THE FRENCH EMBASSY
IN RABAT...

EXPLOSION AT THE MARINE BARRACKS
OUTSIDE MANILA...

AND THE REMAINS OF A RUSSIAN
GENERAL'S COMPOUND IN GROZNY.

THESE INCIDENTS ARE ALL
AT LEAST TWO YEARS OLD.

ANYTHING MORE RECENT?

NO, NOTHING.
IT'S LIKE HE DISAPPEARED.

SLOANE WAS TELLING
THE TRUTH.

THE COVENANT DID HAVE
THIS MAN KILLED.

DAD, THEY HAD ME KILL HIM.

WHAT?

DURING THE TWO YEARS
I WAS MISSING.

WHEN THE COVENANT TRIED
BREAKING ME DOWN

TO GET ME TO WORK FOR THEM.

WHEN THEY BELIEVED
I WAS READY,

THEY PUT ME TO A TEST.

KENDALL LATER SHOWED ME
A PICTURE OF THE PERSON

HE BELIEVED
THEY HAD ME KILL.

HE HAD NO IDENTITY...

UNTIL NOW.

IF WHAT RYAN SAID IS TRUE,

AND SARK HAS BEEN PROMOTED
TO THE LEADERSHIP

OF THE NORTH AMERICAN CELL,

KILLING HIM
ON A COMMERCIAL PLANE

CARRYING 200 INNOCENT PEOPLE

WOULD BE A VERY PUBLIC
ACT OF REVENGE.

OH, MY GOD.

VAUGHN.

CHEERS.

MR. VAUGHN.

TELL ME, YOU WOULDN'T
HAPPEN TO KNOW

AN EIGHT-LETTER WORD
FOR ARROGANT, WOULD YOU?

DO EXACTLY AS I TELL YOU,
OR I'LL KILL YOU.

RIGHT HERE.

GET IN.

DOESN'T IT BOTHER YOU?

WHAT'S THAT?

A BOMB MAKER ARRANGES FOR
A MEETING ON A PLANE,

AND THEN DOESN'T SHOW UP.

I DON'T KNOW ABOUT YOU,
BUT THAT CONCERNS ME.

[ CELLULAR PHONE RINGS ]

LOCK THIS UP.

[ RING ]

YEAH?

VAUGHN, WE MAY HAVE
A PROBLEM.

AN EXPLOSIVE DEVICE?

THERE MAY BE ONE ONBOARD.
I'M NOT SURE,

BUT YOU HAVE TO LAND
IMMEDIATELY. SYD, WHAT YOU GOT?

THE BOMB IS THE SIZE OF A CD.
IT COULD BE ANYWHERE.

LET'S TRY AND FIGURE OUT
HOW IT GOT ONBOARD.

UH, CREW,
PASSENGER MAINTENANCE --

CHECK
THE PLANE SERVICE RECORDS

FOR THE LAST WEEK,
MAYBE TWO,

TO SEE IF THERE WAS
ANYTHING UNSCHEDULED.

TWO DAYS AGO. A WORK ORDER
WAS ADDED FOR REPAIRS

IN THE ELECTRICAL CURRENT BYPASS
IN THE CARGO HOLD.

VAUGHN, TALK TO ME.
WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING AT?

YOU BETTER GET MARSHALL
ON THE PHONE.

THE SON OF A BITCH
LIED TO US.

YES, AND WE LIED TO HIM.

YEAH, BUT THE DIFFERENCE IS,
WE WERE TRYING TO SAVE LIVES.

OUR GOALS, MR. WEISS,
ARE FAR LESS ASYMMETRICAL

THAN WE ASSUMED.

CLEARLY MR. RYAN SHARES OUR
ANTIPATHY FOR THE COVENANT.

EXCEPT HE BELIEVES
WE ARE THE COVENANT.

A FACT WE MUST DISABUSE HIM OF
IMMEDIATELY.

WE MUST REVEAL OURSELVES
FOR WHO WE ARE

AND TAKE THIS MAN
INTO OUR CONFIDENCE.

ALL RIGHT, WE HAVE
CONFIRMATION FROM MARSEILLES

THAT AIRSPACE HAS BEEN CLEARED
FOR AN EMERGENCY LANDING

IN 15 MINUTES.
THE SECOND DEMONSTRATION
HE WARNED US ABOUT --

THIS IS IT.

RYAN MUST HAVE GAMEPLANNED
FOR AN EMERGENCY LANDING.

IF WE CAN CONVINCE RYAN
THAT SARK IS IN CUSTODY

AND WILL BE PROSECUTED,

MAYBE HE WILL DEACTIVATE
THE BOMB.

LET'S DO IT.

THAT WAS DGSE.

FOUR MIRAGE FIGHTER JETS
WERE JUST SCRAMBLED

BY THE FRENCH AIR FORCE.

TO EYEBALL ONLY.
THERE WILL BE NO SHOOTING.

DO THEY UNDERSTAND THAT?

THEY ARE CONFIRMED
AS A FLY-BY...FOR NOW.

Man:
THIS IS YOUR CAPTAIN SPEAKING.

WE ARE BEGINNING OUR EMERGENCY
DESCENT INTO MARSEILLES.

OKAY, THE BOMB
YOU RECOVERED IN LISBON

MAY BE SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT THAN
THE ONE YOU'RE LOOKING AT,

BUT IT SHOULD BE SIMILAR ENOUGH
FOR ME TO WALK YOU THROUGH THIS.

WHAT'S THAT?

WHAT? WHAT? WHAT'S WHAT?

UH, I DON'T KNOW.
IT KIND OF LOOKS LIKE

A THERMOMETER
WITH A METAL RING AT THE TOP.

IS THE LIQUID RISING?

YEAH. HOW DO YOU KNOW?

IT'S A BAROMETRIC SENSOR.

THE BOMB IS TRIGGERED
BY ALTITUDE.

IF THE PLANE KEEPS DESCENDING,
IT WILL DETONATE.

EXCUSE ME, SIR,
YOU NEED TO --

OH, MON DIEU.
WHAT DO YOU WANT NOW?

PULL UP!
WHY?

THE BOMB IS RIGGED
TO THE ALTIMETER.

IF WE GO BELOW 18,000 FEET,
WE'RE ALL DEAD.

MARSEILLES APPROACH,
THIS IS NUAGE 212.

EMERGENCY CLIMB
TO 1-NINER-0.

HOW LONG CAN WE STAY UP?

WE HAVE ENOUGH FUEL
FOR 2 HOURS, MAYBE 2 1/2.

BUT THAT'S IT.

MY NAME IS SYDNEY BRISTOW.

I'M A SPECIAL AGENT
WITH THE CIA.

SO TODAY YOU'RE CIA?

SO...

BELFAST --
WHAT WAS ALL THAT?

BELFAST WAS A CON.

WE WANTED YOU TO BELIEVE
WE WERE COVENANT

SO THAT WE COULD ACQUIRE
YOUR NEW TECHNOLOGY.

SO THIS ISN'T MOSCOW.

YOU'RE IN LOS ANGELES.

AND WE KNOW YOU PLAN
ON DETONATING A BOMB

ON NUAGE AIR 212
AS PAYBACK

FOR WHAT THE COVENANT DID
TO YOUR BROTHER.

Weiss: HOW YOU DOING?

AND YOU?

I DEFECTED TWO MONTHS AGO.

THESE ARE GOOD PEOPLE,
DANIEL.

YOU SHOULD LISTEN TO THEM.

IF YOU WANT ME TO BELIEVE
YOU'RE CENTRAL INTELLIGENCE,

YOU'VE GOT TO DO BETTER
THAN THIS --

A WAREHOUSE SOMEWHERE.

RIGHT.
MUCH MORE CONVINCING.

MR. RYAN,

I'M MARCUS DIXON,
THE DIRECTOR OF THIS OFFICE.

WE NOW KNOW THE BOMB
YOU PLANTED ON NUAGE AIR 212

IS RIGGED TO AN ALTIMETER

AND WILL DETONATE
IF THE PILOT ATTEMPTS TO LAND.

I AM AUTHORIZED TO MAKE
THE FOLLOWING DEAL --

DISABLE THE BOMB

AND TURN OVER TO US
ALL BLUEPRINTS AND MATERIAL

CONCERNING THE CREATION
AND PRODUCTION OF SUCH BOMBS.

IN EXCHANGE, NO CHARGES
WILL BE FILED AGAINST YOU.

IF YOU REALLY ARE CIA,

THEN THE PERSON I MET WITH
WASN'T JULIAN SARK.

NO, HE WAS CIA.

HE'S ON THAT PLANE.

BUT I TOLD HIM
MY ASSOCIATE

HAD WORKED WITH HIM
BEFORE,

AND COULD MAKE
A VISUAL IDENTIFICATION.

YOU PUT THE WORD OUT
TO THE REAL SARK.

YOU LET HIM KNOW
THERE WAS A MEETING.

CLEVER.

FULL-ON GENIUS.

MAYBE YOU REALLY ARE CIA.

SARK IS ALREADY IN CUSTODY.

AS SOON AS THE PLANE LANDS,

HE WILL BE PROCESSED
FOR EXTRADITION

AND PROSECUTED TO THE FULLEST
EXTENT OF THE LAW.

THE TERMS OF OUR DEAL
EXPIRE IN 10 SECONDS.

AFTER THAT, WHAT AGENT BRISTOW
SAID IS TRUE.

YOU WILL BE TRIED
AS AN ENEMY OF THE STATE

AND EXECUTED.

[ IMITATES
ELECTRICITY CRACKLING ]

YOU CANNOT LET
THOSE INNOCENT PEOPLE DIE.

MY BROTHER WAS INNOCENT.

OKAY, WELL, HOW ABOUT THIS?

WE HAVE TO KEEP THE BOMB
AT ALTITUDE, RIGHT?

SO WHY DON'T WE JUST LAND
AT A HIGH-ALTITUDE AIRPORT?

THE HIGHEST-ALTITUDE AIRPORT
IS IN BANGDA, TIBET,

AND THAT'S ONLY 14,000 FEET.

WAIT A MINUTE.

WAIT -- WAIT A MINUTE,
WAIT A MINUTE.

WE CAN'T GET RID
OF THE BOMB, RIGHT?

WE CAN'T DEFUSE THE BOMB,
BUT WE CAN TRICK IT.

AIR PRESSURE IS THE FORCE
EXERTED ON A SURFACE

BY THE WEIGHT
OF THE AIR ABOVE.

ENGLISH, PLEASE.
WE NEED TO ENCASE THE BOMB
IN AN AIRTIGHT

TEMPERATURE-CONTROLLED
BUBBLE.

TO FOOL THE BOMB INTO THINKING
WE'RE STILL AT ALTITUDE.

RIGHT, BUT THE THING IS,
IN ORDER TO DO ANY OF THAT,

YOU NEED TO REMOVE IT
FROM THE FUSELAGE

AND DEACTIVATE
THE MOTION SENSOR.

WHICH IS WHAT THE BOMB SQUAD
IN BELFAST WAS DOING

WHEN THEY DIED.

WELL...YEAH.

OKAY.

ALL RIGHT, I SEE FOUR WIRES

LEADING OUT
FROM THE MOTION SENSOR --

RED, GREEN,
YELLOW, AND BLACK.

UH, CAN YOU SEE WHICH ONE
IS LOOPED TO THE POWER SOURCE?

YEAH, THE RED ONE.

RED ONE. OKAY.
GO AHEAD AND CUT THAT.

NO, NO, NO!
WAIT, WAIT, WAIT, WAIT!
I HATE IT WHEN YOU DO THAT!

IS THERE A SUPPRESSOR
ON THE FILAMENT?

YEAH.
THEN DON'T CUT IT.
IT'S A FALSE LEAD.

MARSHALL!

MY BAD. SORRY.
WHAT YOU NEED TO FIND

IS THE ANTI-STATIC WIRE THAT
RUNS THROUGH THE PLASMA RELAY.

IT'S PROBABLY WRAPPED
IN DEGAUZED CERAMIC FIBER.

NO, YOU HAVE TO EXPLAIN THIS
TO ME IN WORDS I CAN UNDERSTAND.

WELL, IT COULD LOOK
LIKE ANYTHING.

I MEAN, THERE ARE
A MILLION VARIATIONS.

YOU NEED TO TELL ME
WHAT YOU'RE LOOKING AT, VAUGHN.

I DON'T KNOW
WHAT I'M LOOKING AT!

WELL, YOU BETTER FIND
SOMEBODY THAT DOES.

THIRSTY?

YOU'RE ANGRY.
WITH GOOD REASON.

THE COVENANT TOOK AWAY
YOUR BROTHER'S LIFE.

"TOOK HIS LIFE."

WHAT AN INTERESTING
CHOICE OF WORDS.

I MEAN, PERSONALLY,
I'D HAVE GONE FOR SOMETHING

A LITTLE BIT MORE COLORFUL,

LIKE, UM, "MURDERED."

BUT EVEN THAT'S NOT --

WHAT ABOUT, UM,
"SLAUGHTERED"?

YEAH, WHAT ABOUT
"SLAUGHTERED"?

TRY THAT.

THE COVENANT HELD ME CAPTIVE
FOR ALMOST TWO YEARS.

THEY DID THINGS TO ME

I WILL NEVER GET OVER.

THEY STARVED ME.

SUBJECTED ME
TO ELECTROSHOCK,

SENSORY DEPRIVATION,
THEY USED HYPNOTHERAPY --

ALL TO CONVINCE ME
I WAS SOMEONE ELSE --

AN OPERATIVE THEY CREATED
NAMED JULIA THORNE.

I AM TELLING YOU THIS.

IT MAY NOT CHANGE ANYTHING,

BUT YOU NEED TO KNOW
THAT I UNDERSTAND

WHAT IT IS LIKE

HAVING THE COVENANT
TAKE AWAY PEOPLE YOU LOVE.

THEY ARE EVIL, EVIL PEOPLE.

THE THING IS,
I WAS LUCKIER THAN YOU.

THE MAN I LOVE...

THE COVENANT
DIDN'T MURDER HIM.

HE'S ON THAT PLANE.

LIKE I SAID,
MY TELLING YOU THIS

MAY NOT CHANGE ANYTHING,

BUT...

I SWEAR TO YOU
IF YOU DISABLE THAT BOMB,

I WILL NOT REST
UNTIL THE COVENANT PAYS

FOR WHAT THEY'VE DONE TO US.

PLEASE.

I BEG YOU.

DON'T DO THIS.

ALL RIGHT, I'VE GOT SARK.
TALK HIM THROUGH IT.

WAIT A MINUTE.
SARK AS IN MR. SARK?

I UNDERSTAND WE'RE LOOKING
FOR A DEGAUZED CERAMIC FIBER.

THAT'S RIGHT.

IT'S QUITE CLEAR MR. RYAN HAS
APPLIED THE BEST INVARIATION.

COOL.
CAN YOU SPLICE IT?

I COULD, BUT THE DUMMY WIRE'S
FIXED TO A SUPPRESSOR.

I'LL HAVE TO GROUND IT
FIRST.

YOU'RE CLEAR.

ALL RIGHT,

WE HAVE TO FIND SOMETHING
AIRTIGHT TO PUT IT IN.

THIS SHOULD DO IT.

HE NEEDS A PHONE.

TO CALL WHO?

THE BOMB.

SPECIFICALLY, A PAGER.

THE BOMBS ARE WIRED

WITH A REMOTE ACCESS
PROTOCOL.

I NEED TO DIAL IN

AND ENTER
A DEACTIVATION SEQUENCE.

THIS IS DIRECTOR DIXON.

GET ME A SECURE LINE.

KEEP IT STEADY.

YEAH?

LISTEN, VAUGHN,

WE MAY HAVE A WAY
OUT OF THIS.

594...

HOW WILL THEY KNOW WHEN
THE BOMB HAS BEEN DEACTIVATED?

THE RED LIGHT ON THE DETONATOR
WILL TURN GREEN.

477...

VAUGHN, WATCH THE LIGHT
ON THE DETONATOR.

IT SHOULD CHANGE COLOR.

GOT IT.

459...

AND NOW PUNCH IN 1124.

MY BROTHER'S BIRTHDAY.

VAUGHN, WHAT'S GOING ON?

NOTHING. IT'S STILL RED.

SYD, HE SCREWED US.

[ BOMB CHARGING ]
OH, MY GOD.

OH, MY GOD, OH, MY GOD,
OH, MY GOD,

OH, MY GOD, OH, MY -- OH!
DAMN IT!

OW!

OKAY, FIRST OF ALL, I DIDN'T
TOUCH ANYTHING, I SWEAR.

BUT THE BOMB'S
BEEN ACTIVATED.

WE KNOW.
WE JUST SPOKE TO VAUGHN.
NO, NOT ON THE PLANE.
IN MY OFFICE.

THE BOMB IN MY OFFICE
HAS BEEN ACTIVATED.

IT'S COUNTING DOWN.

IVANA PANACH,
MY FORMER HANDLER,

CONFESSED TO ME ON THE DAY
BEFORE SHE WAS KILLED

THAT MY BROTHER HAD BEEN
MURDERED BY THE COVENANT,

AND THAT IT WAS
A TEST OF LOYALTY

FOR A WOMAN
NAMED JULIA THORNE.

YOU KILLED MY BROTHER.

WE'RE ESTABLISHED A BACKUP
CONNECTION WITH LANGLEY.

I WANT ALL NON-ESSENTIALS
REMOVED NOW.

WE HAVE THREE MINUTES
TO REACH SAFE DISTANCE.

I WANT THIS TO BE
SMOOTH AND ORDERLY.

IF THE BOMBS WERE ACTIVATED
BY A PHONE CALL,

THE DETONATOR MUST BE
ON A CELLULAR NETWORK.

IF I CAN JUST FIND
THE RIGHT SIGNAL,

I MIGHT BE ABLE
TO REVERSE-ENGINEER

THE DEACTIVATION PROTOCOL
AND SHUT DOWN BOTH BOMBS.

HOW MUCH TIME?
3 1/2 MINUTES.

I'LL OVERSEE TRANSPORT
OF THE PRISONER.

DIXON NEEDS YOUR HELP
EVACUATING THE ROTUNDA.

NOW!

DON'T TELL ME.

WE'VE COME TO THE POINT WHERE
YOU COERCE ME INTO COOPERATING.

NOT EXACTLY.

[ COUNTDOWN TICKING ]

IN SEVEN SECONDS,

YOU WILL BEGIN
TO SEE SPOTS.

YOU'LL THINK
IT'S A WHITE LIGHT,

BUT I'M HERE TO TELL YOU

THE LAST WORDS
I WANT YOU TO HEAR EVER!

THERE IS NO WHITE LIGHT,

NOT FOR PEOPLE LIKE YOU.

GOD, WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?

GET THE DEFIBRILLATOR.
HURRY.

I PUT IT OUTSIDE THE DOOR.

HE THINKS HE WAS
PREPARED TO DIE.

WE'LL SEE ABOUT THAT.

CHARGE IT TO 200.

YOU'VE GOT TO START AT 150.

NO TIME FOR THAT.
200, NOW.

[ CHARGING ]

1, 2, 3.

1, 2, 3!

[ GASPS ]

YOU GIVE US THE CODE
THAT DISARMS BOTH BOMBS,

OR WE DO THAT
ALL OVER AGAIN.

BOTH BOMBS!

VAUGHN, WE HAVE THE CODE!

ONLY 10 SECONDS LEFT!

DID IT WORK?

YEAH, IT WORKED.

THAT'S IMPRESSIVE.

FRENCH DGSE HAVE SARK
IN CUSTODY.

THEY'RE COORDINATING
WITH OUR STATE DEPARTMENT

ON EXTRADITION PROCEEDINGS.
IS VAUGHN OVERSEEING?

NO, HE'S ALREADY BOARDED
A PLANE BACK TO THE U.S.

WE EXPECT HIM SOON.
