Alias (2001–2006): Season 3, Episode 5 - Repercussions - full transcript

PREVIOUSLY ON "ALIAS"...

THERE. YOU SEE THAT?

NO.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN, NO?
LOOK THERE. HE'S SAYING --

HE'S SAYING "JEWEL"
OR "JULIE" -- MAYBE "JULIA."

HELLO.

HELLO.

IT'S GOOD TO SEE YOU,
JULIA.

GOOD TO SEE YOU, TOO.

WE HAVE ANOTHER PROBLEM.
WHAT'S THAT?

JULIA.



I KNEW SHE COULDN'T BE
TRUSTED.

VAUGHN'S MISSING!

THIS IS WHAT I MEANT!

HE'S GOT CIA-ISSUE
EQUIPMENT.

COME HERE.

WAIT!

I WANT TO DO IT.

YOU NEVER SHOULD HAVE
BETRAYED ME.

THIS LINE IS SECURE.

MOUNTAINEER,
DAY CODE 78765,

REQUESTING PATCH-THROUGH.
YOU'RE CONNECTED.

THIS IS THE FIRST TIME
I COULD CALL.

I JUST GOT AWAY.
SYDNEY, WHERE ARE YOU?

I'M IN SPAIN, DAD.
LISTEN TO ME.



THEY HAVE TO ACTIVATE
THE TRANSMITTER NOW.

I PUT IT ON VAUGHN. HE'S ON
A ROAD OUTSIDE OF IBIZA.

ON VAUGHN? WE'RE SUPPOSED TO BE
TRACKING THE BIOLOGICAL WEAPONS.

DAD, VAUGHN IS BLEEDING
TO DEATH RIGHT NOW.

YOU HAVE TO MOVE.

HOLD ON.

FLINKMAN.
TRIGGER SYDNEY'S
TRANSMITTER NOW.

YES, SIR.

AND SEND WEISS
AFTER THE SIGNAL.

OKAY, I'M ON IT.

MARSHALL'S ACTIVATING IT.
TELL ME WHAT HAPPENED.

THEY FOUND VAUGHN.
THEY GRABBED HIM.

THEY WERE GOING TO PUT
A BULLET IN HIS HEAD,

SO I OFFERED TO DO IT.

DAD, I STABBED HIM MYSELF.
SYDNEY --

I MEAN, I DIDN'T HAVE A CHOICE.
THEY WERE GOING TO KILL HIM.

I UNDERSTAND. WE'RE TRACKING
THE SIGNAL NOW.

TELL ME WHAT HAPPENED
WITH THE PACKAGE.

THE BIOLOGICAL WEAPONS ARE
IN A CASE IN SIMON'S ROOM.

I'M GOING TO BREAK
INTO HIS ROOM

AND GRAB THE WEAPONS.

SWEETHEART,
WE'LL FIND VAUGHN.

THANK YOU.

SO, WHAT'S THE RUSH?

THE TIMETABLE'S MOVED UP.
THAT'S ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW.

HA.

NOW, LOOK AT THAT.

HMM?

WHAT'S MORE BEAUTIFUL
THAN THAT?

PERHAPS WHAT IT PAYS FOR.

HERE. CHEERS.

EXCELLENT.

BIOLOGICAL WEAPONS,
PLEASE.

YOU KNOW, IT'S RARE
THAT YOU FIND PEOPLE

THAT DO THEIR JOB WELL.

EVEN A THIEF CAN TAKE
PRIDE IN HIS WORK, MR. SARK.

THERE.

THANK YOU.

[ DOOR HANDLE JIGGLING ]

[ SHOWER RUNNING ]

YOU KNOW,
THIS IS TRESPASSING.

SURPRISE.

I WAS LOOKING FOR YOU BEFORE.
WHERE DID YOU GO?

I TOOK A WALK.

I NEEDED SOME AIR.

IT'S NOT EVERY NIGHT
I KILL SOMEONE IN THE CIA.

YOU KNOW, IF HE WAS CIA,

HE CERTAINLY WASN'T DOING
HIS JOB VERY WELL.

WE ALREADY
MADE THE EXCHANGE.

THE COVENANT ALREADY
PICKED UP THE WEAPONS?

YEAH.

AND THEY MADE PAYMENT.

THIS IS HORRIBLE.

WHAT?

WELL, I HAVE A FLIGHT
LATER IN THE MORNING.

I'VE NEVER WANTED
TO LEAVE A PLACE LESS.

YOU KNOW THAT, DON'T YOU?

I THOUGHT THE EXCHANGE
WAS TOMORROW.

THEY MOVED UP THEIR SCHEDULE.

WHEN AM I GOING
TO SEE YOU AGAIN?

I HAVE SO MANY QUESTIONS.

ABOUT WHAT?

EVERYTHING.

OH. LOOK...

WE WORK WELL TOGETHER.

I HAVE YOUR NUMBERS.

THERE'S ALWAYS GOING TO BE
ANOTHER JOB COMING UP.

I'LL CALL YOU.

OKAY?

FEEL FREE TO USE THE ROOM.

THANKS.

WE'RE ON THE SIGNAL.
WE'RE TRACKING HIM NOW.

VAUGHN!

OH, GOD! I GOT HIM!

I NEED THE MEDIC!

MEDIC! OVER HERE, QUICK!

I NEED THE MEDIC!

WE FOUND HIM.
HE'S IN BAD SHAPE.

THEY'RE WORKING
ON HIM NOW.

HOW IS HE?

I DON'T KNOW.

NO ONE DOES.

CRITICAL BUT STABLE
IS THE OFFICIAL TERM.

IS HE AWAKE?

NO.

HE WAS HYPOXIC.

HE LOST OXYGEN

WHEN THE STAB WOUND
COLLAPSED HIS LUNG.

THEY CALL IT
TENSION PNEUMOTHORAX,

WHICH MEANS THEY DON'T KNOW
IF HE SUFFERED BRAIN DAMAGE.

LAUREN, I KNOW THAT YOU'VE
BEEN GENERALLY BRIEFED,

BUT I NEED TO EXPLAIN
THE DETAILS MYSELF

SO THAT YOU KNOW
HOW THIS HAPPENED.

A MEMBER OF WALKER'S TEAM
CAUGHT MICHAEL.

I STILL DON'T KNOW HOW.

WALKER I.D.'d HIM AS CIA.

AND STABBED HIM
AND LEFT HIM FOR DEAD.

I ALREADY KNOW ALL THIS.
IT'S IN THE BRIEFING.

THANK YOU.

LAUREN, THAT'S NOT --

WALKER HAD A GUN
TO MICHAEL'S HEAD.

HE WAS ABOUT TO PULL
THE TRIGGER.

I TOOK HIS KNIFE.

I STABBED VAUGHN MYSELF.

YOU?

YES. WALKER WAS GOING
TO MURDER HIM.

SO YOU STABBED HIM?

I HAD NO CHOICE.

IT WAS THE ONLY THING I COULD
DO TO SAVE MICHAEL'S LIFE.

REALLY?

YOU CANNOT THINK THAT I WOULD
HAVE CHOSEN TO HURT HIM, EVER.

MICHAEL MIGHT NEVER
WAKE UP FROM THIS.

[ PAGER BEEPING ]

AT 4:30 GMT,

AN IMAGING SATELLITE PICKED UP
THE HEAT SIGNATURE

OF A SMALL AIRCRAFT
FLYING A TACTICAL PROFILE.

THE NATIONAL RECONNAISSANCE
OFFICE TRACKED IT

TO A MAXIMUM SECURITY FACILITY
IN THE URAL MOUNTAINS,

WHERE IT FLEW MULTIPLE PASSES,

DEPLOYING SOME KIND
OF A BIOLOGICAL WEAPON.

THE WEAPON SARK PICKED UP
IN SPAIN?

MOST LIKELY.

ECHELON INTERCEPTS BETWEEN
THE RESPONDING EMERGENCY TEAMS

INDICATE THAT THE ENTIRE
PRISON POPULATION --

300 GUARDS, 500 PRISONERS --

DIED WITHIN MINUTES.

THERE WERE NO SURVIVORS?

NO, THERE WAS ONE.

ONE?
YEAH.

KAZARI BOMANI.

RIGHT. AND AS WE ALL KNOW,
BOMANI'S BECOME

THE LARGEST
ARMS DEALER IN AFRICA.

WHEN AUTHORITIES REALIZED
A BIOLOGICAL WEAPON

HAD BEEN DEPLOYED,

THEY CALLED IN A HAZMAT TEAM
TO SECURE THE FACILITY.

SARK.

BOMANI WAS LAST SEEN
BEING ESCORTED

INTO
A DECONTAMINATION UNIT.

THAT'S ALL WE KNOW.
HOW DID BOMANI SURVIVE?

ACTUALLY,
IF I MAY, I COULD

SHED SOME LIGHT
ON THE SITUATION, AS USUAL.

MARSHALL.

BASICALLY, SARK WAS ABLE
TO COMBINE AN EBOLA STRAIN

WITH THE BIOWEAPON
THAT HE HAD STOLEN FROM SPAIN.

NOW, WE BELIEVE
THAT THE COVENANT

TAILORED THE BIOWEAPON
TO KILL EVERYBODY

EXCEPT THE PERSON
WHOSE GENETIC PROFILE

WAS ENCODED INTO THE VIRUS.

IN THIS CASE, BOMANI.

YEAH. I MEAN, THE WHOLE THING'S
PRETTY COOL.

IN A SICK, HORRIBLE WAY.

SLOANE IS ATTENDING AN MPO
CONFERENCE IN MEXICO CITY.

I HAVE A BRIEFING

SCHEDULED WITH HIM
THE DAY AFTER TOMORROW.

I'M STILL CATCHING UP.

WHAT DID SLOANE
HAVE TO DO WITH THIS?

SLOANE GAVE US THE INTEL
THAT LED TO BOMANI'S ARREST.

THE SUBSEQUENT DISMANTLING
OF HIS TERROR NETWORK

WASN'T SIMPLY
ONE OF THE REASONS

WE AGREED
TO PARDON SLOANE.

IT WAS THE PREDOMINANT
REASON.

HE MIGHT HAVE A LEAD.

SYDNEY, YOU'LL ACCOMPANY
LAUREN TO MEXICO.

THAT'S IT.

SHE THINKS I STABBED
VAUGHN BY CHOICE,

THAT I COULD HAVE
DONE SOMETHING ELSE,

THAT IT WAS PAYBACK.

SYDNEY, WHEN SOMEONE'S SPOUSE
IS CRITICALLY HURT OR KILLED,

RATIONAL THOUGHT TAKES TIME.

I KNOW.

TELL ME ABOUT SIMON WALKER.

AT THE MOMENT,
HE'S THE ONLY CONNECTION

WE HAVE
TO YOUR MISSING TWO YEARS.

WE CAN'T SQUANDER
THIS OPPORTUNITY.

DID HE SAY ANYTHING ELSE
TO EXPLAIN

HOW HE KNEW YOU AS JULIA?

NO, WHEN HE CAUGHT ME
IN HIS ROOM,

HE JUST GAVE ME THE MONEY
AND LEFT.

HE DIDN'T SAY
WHERE HE WAS GOING,

JUST THAT HE WOULD CONTACT ME
WHEN ANOTHER JOB CAME UP.

ANOTHER JOB.

I'LL CONTACT WALKER MYSELF
POSING AS A CLIENT.

I'LL SPEC OUT A JOB,
HE'LL ASSEMBLE HIS TEAM,

AND WE'LL TAKE HIM
INTO CUSTODY.

ONCE WE HAVE THEM,

YOU AND I WILL HAVE
A FACE-TO-FACE WITH MR. WALKER

AND FIND OUT EVERYTHING
HE KNOWS ABOUT JULIA.

AND, SYDNEY,

ABOUT VAUGHN --

YOU KNOW YOU DID
THE RIGHT THING.

THANKS.

DIXON TOLD ME
ABOUT MICHAEL --

THAT HE'S OFF THE VENTILATOR.

THAT'S IMPORTANT.

THEY'RE KEEPING HIM
IN AN INDUCED COMA

FOR THE NEXT 36 HOURS

TO MINIMIZE
THE CHANCE OF BRAIN DAMAGE.

LOOK, OBVIOUSLY IT WAS
YOUR INTENTION

TO SAVE MICHAEL'S LIFE.

I UNDERSTAND THAT.

BUT I'M GOING TO BE
HONEST WITH YOU.

WHEN I HEARD
YOU WERE BACK,

I FELT THREATENED.

AND I HATED MYSELF
FOR THAT,

BECAUSE I SYMPATHIZE
WITH YOU,

WITH EVERYTHING
YOU'VE GONE THROUGH.

BUT WORKING TOGETHER
LIKE THIS --

THE STAKES OF THIS JOB
ARE JUST TOO HIGH,

AND I DON'T KNOW
ABOUT YOU,

BUT I CAN'T WORK
TO THE BEST OF MY ABILITY

WHILE I'M WONDERING
WHETHER OR NOT

I'M BEING POLITE ENOUGH
TO MY HUSBAND'S EX-GIRLFRIEND.

YOU DON'T NEED TO BE
POLITE WITH ME.

WE'RE BOTH PAST FORMALITIES.

WELL, GOOD.
THEN I'LL BE BLUNT.

I WANT YOU TO REQUEST
A TRANSFER

TO ANOTHER FIELD OFFICE.

LAUREN, EVERYONE I KNOW,

ALL OF THE PEOPLE
I HAVE LEFT IN MY LIFE --

MY FRIENDS, MY FATHER --

WORK AT THAT OFFICE.

I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE BEST
IF THE REQUEST CAME FROM YOU.

I KNOW WE'RE BEING BLUNT,

BUT WAS THAT A THREAT?

YOU DON'T HAVE THE AUTHORITY
TO HAVE ME TRANSFERRED.

THE NSC WILL SUPPORT ME

WHEN THEY LEARN
THAT OUR WORKING TOGETHER

IS COMPROMISING THE FIGHT
AGAINST THE COVENANT.

IF YOU DON'T MAKE
THE CALL,

I WILL.

EXCUSE ME, MATE,
YOU GOT THE TIME?

[ German accent ]
MY WATCH IS BROKEN.

NEVER BUY AMERICAN.

SO TELL ME, MR. WARNER,

HOW'D YOU LEARN
TO CONTACT ME?

WE HAVE
A MUTUAL ACQUAINTANCE --

JULIA THORNE.

REALLY?

OH, I LOVE HER.

YES.

SO, WHAT'S THE GIG?

A FUEL CELL AUTOMOBILE
HAS BEEN DESIGNED IN JAPAN.

A PROTOTYPE WAS PLACED
IN A CARGO FREIGHTER.

IT LEFT NIIGATA THIS MORNING
BOUND FOR HONG KONG.

I WANT YOU TO STEAL IT.

SEXY.

HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE YOU
TO PUT YOUR TEAM TOGETHER?

WELL, THE QUESTION IS,
CAN YOU AFFORD FOR ME

TO PUT MY TEAM TOGETHER?

DON'T CONCERN YOURSELF
WITH MY FINANCES.

I WOULDN'T HAVE COME TO YOU
IF I COULDN'T OVERPAY.

NOBODY EVER OVERPAYS
WITH ME.

YES.

JULIA SAYS YOU'RE THE BEST.

I'LL CONTACT YOU
REGARDING THE PRICE

AND THE LOCATION
OF OUR NEXT MEETING.

YOU KNOW, WITH ALL THE SPECS
REGARDING THE SHIPMENT.

NATURALLY.

CHEERS.

GOOD NIGHT.

[ CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKS ]

SIGN IN, PLEASE.

WE'RE HERE TO SEE
ARVIN SLOANE.

OH, PERFECT TIMING.

HE'S JUST ARRIVING.

GET IN THE VAN!

[ GUNSHOTS CONTINUE ]

[ PEOPLE SCREAMING ]

GET IN!

HAVE YOU DONE THIS BEFORE?

I CROSS-TRAINED
AT THE FARM.

ARE YOU FIELD-RATED?
NO.

KAZARI,

IF YOU'RE THINKING
THAT I'M RESPONSIBLE

FOR YOUR IMPRISONMENT --

[ HORNS HONKING ]

[ CELLULAR PHONE RINGS ]

HELLO?

JULIA?

SIMON?

I'VE GOT ANOTHER JOB
FOR US.

REALLY? THAT'S GREAT.

YOU SOUND DISTRACTED.

I'M KIND OF IN THE MIDDLE
OF SOMETHING.

LOOK, ARE YOU AVAILABLE
FOR ANOTHER JOB?

FOR YOU, I AM ALWAYS
AVAILABLE.
EXCUSE ME, CAN'T THAT WAIT?

SIMON, CAN I CALL YOU BACK?

SURE, BABY. OKAY.

THEY'RE GAINING ON US.

TELL THE CHASE CAR
TO TAKE THEM OUT.

DON'T LOOK IN THE MIRROR!

ALL THAT MATTERS IS WHAT'S
DIRECTLY IN FRONT OF US.

I THINK THERE'S
SOMEBODY BACK THERE!

[ GUNSHOT ]

HIT THE BRAKES!
WHAT?

HIT THE BRAKES
AND CUT IN RIGHT, NOW!

GO, GO, GO, GO, GO!

THEY'RE STILL COMING.

THROUGH THE ALLEY. GO!

THERE'S NO ROOM.
WE CAN MAKE IT.

WE BACK OFF.
NO!

GO AROUND!

DAMN IT!

Bomani:
I THOUGHT WE WERE PARTNERS.

I THOUGHT WE HAD
AN ASSOCIATION.

I WAS WRONG.

ONE DAY WHEN I WAS A BOY
IN JUWA TOWN,

THE TANKS CAME.

THE SOLDIERS WANDERED UP
AND KILLED ALL THE MEN...

RAPED THE WOMEN.

MY MOTHER, MR. SLOANE,

WAS RAPED,

AND THEN SHE WAS KILLED...

IN FRONT OF ME...

IN FRONT OF MY BROTHERS.

MY OLDEST BROTHER
THREATENED ME,

INSISTED I DO NOTHING.

BUT HE -- HE COULDN'T
HELP HIMSELF.

HE TRIED TO FIGHT THEM.

THE SOLDIERS,
THEY CUT OFF HIS ARM.

IMAGINE IT
FOR A MINUTE --

WATCHING YOUR OWN MOTHER
GET RAPED.

WATCHING HER CUT...

SCREAMING.

CAN YOU EVEN BEGIN
TO DO THAT?

I SWORE THAT I WOULD NEVER
BE POWERLESS AGAIN,

THAT I WOULD DO ANYTHING
TO PROTECT MY FAMILY...

AND THAT ANYONE WHO GOT
IN THE WAY OF THAT

WOULD SUFFER THE SAME FATE
AS MY BROTHER.

YES, I TURNED YOU IN,
AS YOU WOULD HAVE DONE ME.

WHY?

TO OBTAIN
WHAT YOU NOW NEED --

LEGITIMACY.

IN A NUTSHELL, MR. BOMANI,

I COULD HELP YOU BECOME
MORE POWERFUL THAN EVER.

SLOANE WAS RESPONSIBLE
FOR BOMANI'S IMPRISONMENT.

SARK BREAKS BOMANI
OUT OF JAIL,

AND THE FIRST THING THEY DO
IS GET SLOANE.

HOPEFULLY BOMANI'S GOT
HIS REVENGE,

AND SLOANE IS EITHER
IN INCREDIBLE PAIN OR DEAD.

I WANT A FULL OPTIONS BRIEFING
IN MY OFFICE, ONE HOUR.

YOU START WITH YOUR CONTACTS
IN WASHINGTON,

I'LL CHECK IN
WITH STRATEGIC SERVICES.

SYDNEY.

WHAT I SAID ABOUT REQUESTING
YOU TRANSFER

TO ANOTHER FIELD OFFICE --
IT WASN'T MY PLACE.

AND IT'S -- IT'S HARD,

BUT I'D REALLY LIKE THIS
TO WORK.

I APPRECIATE YOU
SAYING THAT.

SYD?

HI.

OH, MY GOD.

VAUGHN.

WHERE AM I?

YOU'RE HOME.

YOU STABBED ME.

SORRY.

I HAD NO CHOICE.

WALKER WOULD HAVE
KILLED YOU.

I KNOW.

YOU'RE OKAY.

I WAS SO AFRAID
I'D LOST YOU.

I'M RIGHT HERE.

LEAVING YOU LIKE THAT,

NOT KNOWING IF I'D EVER
SEE YOU AGAIN,

MADE ME REALIZE
HOW MUCH I MISS YOU.

I MISS YOU, TOO.

YOU DO?

[ STABS ]

UHH!

HOW COULD YOU DO THIS
TO ME?

HI.

SWEETHEART, YOU'RE OKAY.

DO YOU REMEMBER ME?

OF COURSE.

THANK GOD.

HEY, SYD.

MARSHALL, HEY.
HI.

I'M GOING TO THE HOSPITAL.
VAUGHN'S AWAKE.

I KNOW.
IT'S THE BEST NEWS EVER.

LISTEN, I WAS HOPING
THAT YOU COULD TELL HIM

THAT THE TOPICAL APPLICATION
OF MAGNETS CAN INFLUENCE

THE ELECTRO-CHEMICAL
PROCESSES OF THE HUMAN BODY.

AND HE NEEDS
TO KNOW THIS NOW WHY?

OH, SORRY. DUH-DOY.
BURIED THE LEAD.

WELL, IT'S FOR PAIN RELIEF.
HAVING A COLLAPSED LUNG

REALLY CAN'T BE
THE MOST COMFORTABLE --

SYD, YOU'RE NOT GOING
TO BELIEVE THIS.

THEY FOUND SLOANE. HIS PLANE
JUST LANDED IN VAN NUYS.

THEY'VE TAKEN HIM
TO OUR FACILITY IN RIVERSIDE.

HE'S ASKING TO SPEAK
WITH YOU.

OH, UH, LISTEN,

LET'S NOT TELL MR. SLOANE
ABOUT THE MAGNETS?

WHAT HAVE I MISSED?

I WAS JUST THANKING MS. REED
FOR THE ATTEMPTED RESCUE.

I APPRECIATE YOUR EFFORTS
A GREAT DEAL.

DID YOU ESCAPE?

NO, MR. BOMANI LET ME GO.

HE LET YOU GO?
HE JUST --

HE JUST LET YOU WALK
RIGHT OUT THE DOOR?

YES.

WHAT DID YOU OFFER HIM?

WELL, I GAVE HIM INFORMATION

THAT I EVENTUALLY WAS GOING
TO SHARE WITH YOU.

MY CONTACTS
WITHIN THE JAPANESE MOB --

THE YAKUZA --

HAVE DEVELOPED THE FIRST
A.I. COMPUTER VIRUS.

IT PROBES NETWORKS,
ANALYZES SYSTEMS,

AND THEN WRITES ITSELF,

CREATES ITS OWN SUBVIRUSES.

IN THE WRONG HANDS,
IT CAN CRASH MARKETS,

DESTROY BANKS,
SHUT DOWN TRANSPORTATION,

BRING MILITARY INSTALLATIONS
TO A HALT.

YOU'RE TELLING US
YOU GAVE THIS INFORMATION

TO A MAN WHO'S WORKING
WITH THE COVENANT?

THAT'S RIGHT.
NOW I'M GIVING IT TO YOU

SO THAT YOU --

SO THAT YOU
CAN DISABLE THE VIRUS

BEFORE THE COVENANT
GETS IT.

AND I MEANT DISABLE IT,
NOT DESTROY IT.

BECAUSE IF BOMANI COMES
TO THE YAKUZA FACILITY

IN OSAKA AND FINDS THAT
THE VIRUS HAS BEEN DESTROYED,

HE WILL KNOW
THAT I TIPPED YOU OFF

AND HAVE ME KILLED.

SO, SYDNEY, LAUREN,

MY LIFE IS IN YOUR HANDS.

YOU'VE TOLD BOMANI
YOU'D WORK FOR THE COVENANT?

YES.

AND NOW I'M TELLING YOU
THAT I'M IN A POSITION

TO BE A DOUBLE AGENT,

WORKING FOR THE COVENANT
BUT LOYAL TO THE CIA.

WHAT IS IT, SYDNEY?

THIS IS CLASSIC.

DON'T TAKE MY WORD FOR IT.

HAVE MARSHALL
ANALYZE THE VIDEO

HE'S MAKING OF ME RIGHT NOW.

WHY DON'T YOU EXAMINE
THE LIE DETECTORS

YOU'RE RUNNING ON MY VOICE?

I PROMISE YOU

THEY'LL VERIFY
THAT I AM TELLING

THE GOD'S HONEST TRUTH.

NOW, AS FAR AS OUR TECHNOLOGY
CAN DETECT --

AND THESE ARE NEXT GEN TESTS,
AS HIGH-END AS IT GETS --

HE'S NOT LYING, FOLKS.

IF THERE'S SOMEONE

WHO CAN FOOL THOSE TESTS,
IT'S SLOANE.

WELL, YEAH, IN THEORY, YES,

BUT IN PRACTICE,
HE'D REALLY HAVE TO BE USING

LIKE THE NEXT GEN'S NEXT GEN
LIE DETECTOR-DEFEATING TECH,

WHICH, FRANKLY,
EVEN I CAN'T IMAGINE.

SO WHAT DO WE DO HERE? WE TRUST
SLOANE ON THIS, OR WHAT?

THE POSITION OF THE NSC

IS THAT WE ACCEPT
SLOANE'S PROPOSAL

AND USE HIM AS A DOUBLE AGENT
WITHIN THE COVENANT.

OKAY, JUST SO THAT
SOMEONE HAS SAID IT,

IN THE PAST TWO YEARS,
SLOANE HAS OBTAINED A PARDON

BASED MAINLY ON THE CAPTURE
OF A CRIMINAL WHO IS NOW FREE.

IN ADDITION,
SLOANE WILL NOW BE ALLOWED

TO OPENLY PARTICIPATE
IN COVENANT ACTIVITIES

BASED ON THE PROMISE
THAT HE WILL INFORM US

OF THOSE ACTIVITIES.

ONE COULD ARGUE
THAT HE'S JUST PULLED OFF

THE CON JOB
OF THE CENTURY.

IT ALSO APPEARS THAT BOMANI
WILL KILL SLOANE

IF WE INTERFERE
WITH HIS PLANS.

AND WHO HERE
WOULD LOSE SLEEP OVER THAT?

THE U.S. GOVERNMENT
WOULD THEN HAVE LOST

ITS MOST VALUABLE SOURCE
OF UNDERWORLD INTELLIGENCE.

THE FACT THAT ARVIN SLOANE
HOLDS ALL THE CARDS

IN THIS SCENARIO IS GIVING ME
A MIGRAINE.

ACCORDING TO SLOANE,

SARK AND BOMANI
ARE ON THEIR WAY

TO A YAKUZA-RUN CASINO
IN OSAKA,

WHERE THEY WILL DOWNLOAD
THE VIRUS FROM A SECURE SERVER.

MARSHALL WILL PROVIDE YOU
WITH A PROGRAM

THAT WE WILL REWRITE THE VIRUS
AND RENDER IT UNUSABLE.

ACTUALLY --
SORRY TO INTERRUPT.

I DID SAY THAT I COULD
DO THAT,

BUT NOT IF I HAVEN'T
SEEN THE CODE,

WHICH -- I GUESS THIS MEANS

I'M GOING
ON ANOTHER MISSION --

UH, IF YOU SANCTION IT.

I'LL HAVE STRATEGIC SERVICES
DEVISE A SCENARIO

FOR YOU BOTH TO ACCESS --

UH, ACTUALLY,
ANOTHER SUGGESTION

FOR THE CIA SUGGESTION BOX --
WHICH IS A GREAT IDEA.

MARSHALL.

SORRY.
UM, WHAT I WAS THINKING

IS A SUREFIRE WAY
TO GET INVITED

INTO THE BACK ROOM
OF A YAKUZA CASINO --

GET CAUGHT CHEATING
AT GAMBLING.

YEAH, I HAVE
A LITTLE SOMETHING HERE --

THIS WILL GIVE US AN EXAMPLE
OF WHAT I MEAN.

NOW, IN HIGH SCHOOL,

BY APPLYING THE METHODOLOGY
OF STATISTICAL PROBABILITY --

ACCOUNTING, OF COURSE,
FOR THE CONTINUOUS

RANDOM VARIABLE OF LUCK --

I WAS ABLE TO COME UP

WITH A FAIRLY EFFECTIVE
CARD-COUNTING TECHNIQUE.

NOW, YOU KNOW HOW TO DEAL
A HAND OF BLACKJACK?

YES, MARSHALL.

GO AHEAD AND DEAL ONE.

CAN I GET A COCKTAIL?

UH, HIT THERE.
HIT ME THERE.

STICK THERE.

UH, HIT ME TWICE HERE.

DOUBLE DOWN THERE.
DOUBLE DOWN.

STICK.
HIT ME ONCE THERE.

OKAY, NOW YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE
A FACE CARD UNDER THERE.

GO AHEAD AND TURN THAT OVER.

THAT GIVES YOU 17.

LOOK AT THAT.
I'VE WON NINE TIMES.

WOW.

I HAD A LOT OF FREE TIME
IN HIGH SCHOOL.

MICHAEL'S DOCTOR'S EXPECTING
HE'LL BE RELEASED TOMORROW.

IF THERE'S TIME
BEFORE YOU GO,

YOU SHOULD GO AND SEE HIM.

I KNOW HE'D LIKE THAT.

THANK YOU.

I DON'T KNOW IF THERE
WILL BE, BUT THANK YOU.

WHEN YOU GET BACK THEN.

THANK YOU FOR MEETING ME.

PLEASE.

AFTER YOUR EXCELLENT WORK
IN SPAIN,

YOU MORE THAN DESERVE
THE PROFESSIONAL COURTESY.

UNFORTUNATELY,
WE HAVE TO BE BRIEF.

I'M CATCHING A PLANE
TO OSAKA.

WE'VE TAKEN ON
A NEW CLIENT.

HE SAYS HIS NAME
IS GILBERT WARNER.

CORPORATE AND PERSONAL
TAX RETURNS

CONFIRM HE'S THE CEO
OF RODGERS AUTOMOTIVE.

BUT HE KNOWS
HOW TO LOSE A TAIL.

I THINK HE'S A PRO.

I'D LIKE SOME MORE
DETAILED BACKGROUND.

WOULD YOU MIND
RUNNING A CHECK?

I DON'T BELIEVE
I HAVE TO.

HIS NAME IS JACK BRISTOW.

HE'S CIA.

ENTER
YOUR ACCOUNT PASSWORD,

AND WITHIN 90 SECONDS,

YOU WILL RECEIVE
CONFIRMATION

OF AN ELECTRONIC TRANSFER
IN THE AMOUNT OF $3 MILLION.

YOU DON'T MIND IF I ASK YOU
TO LOOK AWAY?

OF COURSE NOT.

[ CELLULAR PHONE RINGS ]

EXCUSE ME.

[ RING ]

YEAH.

Javier:
YOU'RE BEING SET UP.

THE MAN YOU'RE STANDING WITH
IS A CIA OPERATIVE.

HIS NAME IS JACK BRISTOW,
AND I HOPE YOU APPRECIATE

HEARING THIS AS MUCH AS I DO
TELLING YOU.

HIS DAUGHTER,
SYDNEY BRISTOW,

ALSO CIA,
GOES BY AN ALIAS --

JULIA THORNE.

GREAT NEWS, MATE.

MR. WARNER WILL BE
HAPPY TO HEAR IT.

HEAR WHAT?

TEAM'S BEEN ASSEMBLED.

AHH.

AS SOON AS THE MONEY'S
TRANSFERRED, WE'RE IN BUSINESS.

YOU KNOW,

WHILE WE'RE WAITING,

YOU NEVER TOLD ME
HOW YOU MET JULIA.

ARE YOU LIKE, UH...

LIKE LOVERS OR SOMETHING?

NO, NOT EXACTLY.

I ASK IF YOU'RE LOVERS

BECAUSE IF YOU EVER
GET THE CHANCE,

I HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT.

DO YOU?

OH, YEAH, MAN.

ON A SCALE OF 1 TO 10,

10 BEING THE MOST DEGENERATE
DISPLAYS OF SEXUAL THEATER

KNOWN TO MAN,

OH...

JULIA'S LIKE A 17.

[ COMPUTER BEEPING ]

YOU HAVE YOUR MONEY.

AS SOON AS THE JOB'S DONE,
WE'LL BE IN CONTACT.

[ GROANING ]

YOU SHOT ME.

YOU SHOT ME!

YOU BASTARD!

LISTEN TO ME VERY CLOSELY.

YOU'RE DYING.

RIGHT NOW I'M THE ONLY ONE

WHO CAN GET YOU
TO A HOSPITAL IN TIME.

TELL ME ABOUT JULIA --

WHERE YOU MET HER,
HOW YOU KNEW HER.

I WASN'T KIDDING

ABOUT SCREWING
YOUR DAUGHTER.

SHE'S THE WILDEST GIRL
I EVER HAD.

TELL ME ABOUT JULIA
IF YOU WANT TO LIVE.

YOU WANT TO KNOW...

HOW SHE LIKES IT?

SHE --

[ TECHNO MUSIC PLAYING ]

[ GAMBLERS CHEERING ]

HOWDY.

OKAY, IF I WERE
ANY MORE NERVOUS,

I'D NEED NEW UNDERPANTS
JUST ABOUT NOW.

MM.

[ SNEEZES ]

I THINK I'M ALLERGIC
TO THIS VEST.

ACTUALLY, I THINK
IT'S CAT FUR.

JUST RELAX, HONEY.

OKAY, I'M JUST ABOUT
TO CHEAT AT CARDS

AT A CASINO
RUN BY GANGSTERS.

I JUST WANT TO KEEP
MY PINKY FINGERS, THAT'S ALL.

WE TALKED ABOUT THIS
ON THE PLANE.

I NEED TO KNOW
YOU CAN DO THIS.

LET'S PLAY CARDS.

( techno music resumes )

I'LL TELL YOU SOMETHING.

CAN YOU GET SOMEONE
TO HELP ME WITH ALL THIS?

'CAUSE I CAN'T CARRY
ALL THIS ON MY OWN.

YES, WE CAN!

YOU ARE VERY LUCKY.

ARE YOU TALKING TO ME?

WELL, THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
I AM LUCKY, YOU KNOW.

I'M LUCKY TO BE BORN
IN TEXAS,

AND I AM RICH ENOUGH THAT
A WOMAN THIS BEAUTIFUL

IS WILLING TO SHARE
MY BED.

COME ON!

PERHAPS YOU MIGHT
COME INTO THE BACK.

I CAN CONVERT YOUR WINNINGS
INTO DIAMONDS,

OR SIMPLY MAKE
AN ELECTRONIC TRANSFER

TO THE BANK OF YOUR CHOICE.

WELL, THAT WOULD BE MIGHTY
HOSPITABLE OF YOU.

DOMO ARIGATO, MR. --

WHAT IS THAT?
TOMOSAKA.

PLEASE, WE'LL TAKE CARE
OF THAT.

YOU'RE GONNA TAKE CARE
OF IT? THANK YOU SO MUCH.

[ SNEEZES ]

MR. TOMOSAKA,
WE WEREN'T CHEATING.

NO, WE WEREN'T CHEATING.

YOU WERE COUNTING CARDS.

ARE YOU GOING TO CUT OFF
YOUR OWN FINGER WITH THAT?

BECAUSE THAT LOOKS
MIGHTY BIG

TO TAKE OFF A PINKY.

I WOULD TAKE
YOUR HAND!

DON'T HURT HIM!

[ DART SHOOTS ]

PUT THEM IN THE CLOSET.

OKAY.

WHAT WAS THE PASSWORD
SLOANE GAVE YOU?

RAVENSON 327.

OKAY, OKAY,
I FOUND THE VIRUS.

OH, MY GOD, THE CODE
ON THIS THING.

ALL RIGHT, IT'S GOING
TO TAKE ME A SECOND

TO DOWNLOAD A COPY BEFORE I
CAN RENDER THE VIRUS UNUSABLE.

YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE
TO HURRY. SARK'S HERE.

COME ON!

IT'S DISABLED.

IT'LL TAKE ME A SECOND

TO TRANSFER A COPY
TO OUR SERVER.

[ COMPUTER BEEPING ]

DONE.

[ SNEEZES ]

SORRY.

Weiss: VAUGHN WILL BACK ME UP
ON THIS ONE.

THIS IS A TRUE STORY,
I SWEAR.

SOPHOMORE YEAR, COLLEGE.
HER NAME WAS APRIL FIRST.

BIRTH NAME, BY THE WAY.

RIGHT. AND FOR LIKE A MONTH,
I WAS OBSESSED.

I THOUGHT THIS WOMAN HAD
TO HAVE MY CHILDREN, OKAY?

THE PROBLEM WAS THAT SHE ONLY
DATED GUITAR PLAYERS --

LITERALLY.

A GIRL SHOULD HAVE
HER STANDARDS.

SINCE SHE WORKED
AT A COFFEEHOUSE,

ERIC DECIDED TO IMPRESS HER
ON OPEN MIKE NIGHT.

Sydney:
YOU PLAY THE GUITAR?

NO, NO, NOT EVEN A LITTLE.

BUT I THOUGHT THAT, YOU KNOW,
IF I GOT UP ON THAT STAGE

AND THE SPOTLIGHT
WAS IN MY FACE,

THAT MAYBE GOD WOULD IMBUE
MY HANDS

WITH THE POWER OF ROCK LEGEND
STEVIE RAY VAUGHN.

SO WHAT HAPPENED?

OH, DISASTER.
JUST EMBARRASSMENT.

I DIDN'T PLAY TWO NOTES
THAT WENT TOGETHER.

POOR BABY.
AND WHAT ABOUT
APRIL FIRST?

OH, WE MADE OUT IN MY GREMLIN
IN THE PARKING LOT.

YOU DID WHAT?

YEAH. SHE GOT TO WORK
LATE THAT NIGHT,

SO ALL SHE SAW
WAS ME COMING OUT

WITH THE GUITAR
UNDER MY ARM.

IS THAT A GOOD IDEA?

IF I HAVE TO HEAR THAT STORY
FOR THE FIFTH TIME,

I'M GOING TO NEED IT.

FEELING OKAY?

GREAT.
YEAH, UNLIKE THIS GUY

WHO TOOK SIX MONTHS TO SIT UP
AFTER HE GOT SHOT.

I WAS SHOT IN THE JUGULAR.

OH --
I WAS! I WAS UNCONSCIOUS
FOR THREE WEEKS.

AND BY THE WAY, DON'T COME
CRYING TO ME IF BEER

STARTS SPRAYING OUT OF THAT
HOLE IN YOUR CHEST.

DON'T YOU HAVE
TO GET UP EARLY?

YES, I DO.

ALL RIGHT.
GOOD NIGHT, EVERYBODY.

CAN I GRAB A RIDE?

YEAH.

GOOD NIGHT.

GOOD NIGHT.
SEE YOU TOMORROW.

HE'S A TOUGH GUY.
YEAH.

YEAH. WAIT, YOU KNOW WHAT?
I FORGOT MY JACKET.

ALL RIGHT,
I'LL GET THE CAR.
OKAY.
