Alias (2001–2006): Season 3, Episode 9 - Conscious - full transcript

PREVIOUSLY ON "ALIAS"...

MS. BRISTOW, WE KNOW YOU KNOW
HOW TO READ THIS CODE.

DECIPHER THE TEXT,
AND WE WON'T HAVE TO --

DON'T BOTHER NEGOTIATING
WITH ME!

[ ELECTRICITY CRACKLING ]

AAH!

SYDNEY.
DAD.

YOU'RE ALL RIGHT, SWEETHEART.
YOU'RE ALL RIGHT.

HE'S WITH US.
GET IN.

YOU MADE IT, SYDNEY.

YOU MADE IT.



Lauren: THE BIGGEST PROBLEM,
OBVIOUSLY, IS LINDSEY.

HE'S GOING TO DO EVERYTHING
HE CAN TO DISCREDIT US.

BUT AT THE VERY LEAST,

WE'LL BE ABLE TO GET
TO SYDNEY'S COORDINATES.

Sloane: WHERE'S THE --

WHERE'S THE OTHER MAP?

Vaughn: OKAY, ACCORDING

TO THE GEOSYNCHRONOUS
ORBITAL POSITION,

OUR ENTRANCE
IS HERE AND HERE.

WE'VE GOT TO SECURE THIS --

SWEETHEART, YOU'RE OKAY.

HOW DO YOU FEEL?

BETTER, THANKS.

WHAT'S GOING ON?



YOU SHOULD KNOW --
SLOANE WAS INSTRUMENTAL

IN ORCHESTRATING
YOUR ESCAPE.

I SUPPOSE I OWE YOU
A THANK YOU.

SYDNEY,
AS LONG AS YOU'RE ALIVE,

YOU'LL NEVER OWE ME
A THING.

NOT JUST YOU.

BREAKING ME OUT OF THAT FACILITY
WAS DANGEROUS AND SELFLESS.

THANK YOU.

ALL OF YOU.

AT THE MOMENT,
WE'RE FUGITIVES,

BUT WE'RE WORKING ON A PLAN
TO FRAME THE COVENANT

FOR YOUR EXTRACTION.

HAVE YOU MAPPED THE COORDINATES

FROM THE CODE
THAT LINDSEY FOUND IN ROME?

THEY POINT TO A STRIP OF DESERT
NEAR THE SAN ANDREAS FAULT

LESS THAN AN HOUR
FROM HERE.

IF THERE'S SOMETHING
WAITING FOR US,

IT'S MOST LIKELY BURIED.

I'M GOING TO GO
CHECK IT OUT.

IN THE MEANTIME,
WE HAVE A LEAD --

SOMETHING THAT MIGHT
ACTUALLY HELP US

RETRIEVE
YOUR LOST MEMORIES.

SYDNEY, MY FOUNDATION
GIVES GRANTS

TO VARIOUS RESEARCHERS.

ONE OF THESE MEN
HAS IN DEVELOPMENT

A NON-INVASIVE THERAPY
FOR TREATING

LONG-TERM SEVERE AMNESIA.

IF THIS THERAPY WORKS,

WHY DIDN'T YOU MENTION IT
BEFORE?

WELL, SYDNEY, UP UNTIL NOW,
I DIDN'T THINK

THAT YOU'D BE WILLING
TO ACCEPT MY HELP.

DAD,
I WANT TO GO WITH YOU.

YOU SHOULD REST.
I'VE RESTED ENOUGH.

SO I WAS AN IDIOT.

MICHAEL TRIED TO WARN ME
ABOUT LINDSEY,

BUT I DIDN'T LISTEN.

I COULDN'T BELIEVE
WHAT HE WAS TELLING ME,

SO I DID
WHAT I ALWAYS DO --

I FOLLOWED THE RULES.

Jack: WE SHOULD GO.

YOU SAID ON THE HELICOPTER

THAT WHEN LINDSEY FORCED YOU
TO BREAK THE CODE,

YOU GAVE HIM
FALSE COORDINATES.

WHERE DID YOU SEND THEM?

I DON'T KNOW. I...

I THINK SOMEWHERE
IN SIMI VALLEY.

[ TELEPHONE RINGS ]

YEAH?

Man: SIR, WE'VE CHECKED
THE LOCATION.

IT'S CLEAN.
IT'S A LIQUOR STORE.

I WANT YOU
TO CHECK IT AGAIN.

I THINK WE'VE BEEN PLAYED.
DON'T TELL ME
WE'VE BEEN PLAYED.

CHECK IT AGAIN!

WHAT IF WHATEVER WE'RE
LOOKING FOR ISN'T METAL?

THEN WE'RE SCREWED.
NOT AN UNFAMILIAR SITUATION.

LISTEN, SYDNEY,

WHILE I REMAIN SKEPTICAL

OF SLOANE'S ALLEGED
REHABILITATION,

THE MAN JUMPED IN FRONT
OF A BULLET TO SAVE MY LIFE.

I'VE BEEN THROUGH
TOO MUCH WITH HIM.

I DON'T TRUST THAT MAN.

AND I STILL CAN'T BELIEVE
YOU DON'T FEEL THE SAME.

WHAT I'M FEELING
IS IRRELEVANT.

IN CONSPIRING TO SAVE YOU
FROM THE NSC,

SLOANE'S ALSO GIVEN US
ALL THE AMMUNITION

WE'D EVER NEED TO INVALIDATE
HIS PARDON AGREEMENT.

HE'S PUT HIS LIFE
IN OUR HANDS.

AND AS FAR
AS BREAKING YOU OUT,

YOURS WAS IN HIS.

HIKE!

NICE CATCH, STEVEN.

HEY, ROBIN.

SWEETIE, COME HERE.
STEVEN, COME HERE!

SPECIAL AGENT REIMS, FBI.
YOU'RE UNDER ARREST ON SUSPICION

OF CONSPIRACY TO IMPEDE
A FEDERAL INVESTIGATION.

THIS IS LINDSEY, ISN'T IT?
YOUR CHILDREN WILL BE
LOOKED AFTER

THROUGH THE DURATION
OF YOUR CUSTODY...
HE ORDERED THIS?

UNLESS YOU FIND
A SUITABLE FAMILY MEMBER.

YOU'RE GOING
TO HAVE TO COME WITH US.

IS THIS FAMILIAR TO YOU?

NO.

I DON'T KNOW
IF I BURIED IT MYSELF,

OR IF IT WAS LEFT
FOR ME TO FIND.

AND THAT SYMBOL?

IT SYMBOLIZES MEMBERSHIP

IN THE MAGNIFIC ORDER
OF RAMBALDI.

WHOEVER THAT PERSON WAS,
HE MADE A VOW

TO SAFEGUARD RAMBALDI'S
PROPHECIES.

WHEN YOU GET BACK,
YOU'LL ASK MARSHALL

TO RUN A DNA TEST.

RIGHT.
WHAT'S YOUR ALIBI?

I'LL RETURN TO LINDSEY,

TELL HIM I WAS ABDUCTED
BY THE COVENANT,

AND THAT YOU'RE STILL
BEING HELD HOSTAGE.

AND WHAT ARE WE SAYING
THEY WANT?

HOW ABOUT
THE RAMBALDI DEVICE?

YOU'D LIKE THAT,
WOULDN'T YOU?

SYDNEY,
I KNOW WHAT YOU'RE THINKING.

WHY DON'T YOU ASK YOURSELF --

IF THE DEVICE WAS SO VALUABLE
TO ME, WHY DID I LET IT GO?

FOR YOUR FREEDOM.

YOU TRADED IT
FOR YOUR PARDON,

AND HERE'S YOUR CHANCE
TO GET IT BACK.

IT IS SOMETHING THE CIA
MIGHT BELIEVE

THE COVENANT WOULD TAKE
IN EXCHANGE FOR YOU.

AND ONCE
WE MAKE THE EXCHANGE,

THE DEVICE
WILL BE DESTROYED.

NO ONE WILL HAVE IT.

I'LL CONTACT BOB LINDSEY
AND TELL HIM

THAT MY SOURCES
HAVE CONFIRMED

THAT THE COVENANT
IS RESPONSIBLE

FOR YOUR BREAKOUT.

AS SOON AS I HEAR
FROM DR. BREZZEL,

I'LL LET YOU KNOW.

HE'S THE NEURO RESEARCHER.
HE WORKS OUT OF YALE.

WHAT ABOUT YOU?

WE'RE SAYING
THAT YOUR FATHER AND I

WERE INVESTIGATING
YOUR DISAPPEARANCE.

WE'RE SETTING UP
A PAPER TRAIL --

RENT-A-CARS,
AIRLINE TICKETS --

THERE'S SOMETHING ELSE
THAT JUST OCCURRED TO ME.

IF LINDSEY'S TO BELIEVE
I WAS BEING HELD

BY THE COVENANT,
THERE NEEDS TO BE

SOME EVIDENCE
OF MY MISTREATMENT.

NO.

SHE'S RIGHT.

I WAS GOING TO BRING
THAT UP MYSELF

AT THE LAST
POSSIBLE MOMENT.

I AM NOT GOING
TO LET YOU BEAT --

I'M THE ONLY ONE WHO'S NSC,

THE ONLY ONE
LINDSEY WILL LISTEN TO.

IF I DON'T GO BACK, HE'S GOING
TO THINK I'M PARTY TO THIS.

JACK, THIS IS INSANE.
VAUGHN, THIS WHOLE
SITUATION'S A PROBLEM.

WE NEED PHYSICAL EVIDENCE
TO HELP SELL THE IDEA

THAT THE COVENANT
WAS RESPONSIBLE.

YOU SHOULD DO IT.

WHENEVER YOU'RE READY.

JUST GET IT OVER WITH.

I KNOW HOW DIFFICULT
THIS MUST BE --

THAT WAS FOR TURNING ME IN
TO LINDSEY.

THIS IS FOR HELPING ME
BREAK OUT.

NOW LET'S
GET THIS OVER WITH.

WHERE'S SYDNEY BRISTOW?

YOU COVERED FOR HER ONCE,
AND IT COST YOU YOUR JOB.

DO IT AGAIN...

THIS CELL WILL BE YOUR HOME
FOR THE NEXT 10 YEARS.

MY LAWYER'S NAME
IS SHELLY BYRD.

YOUR ONLY PLAY HERE
IS TO TELL ME

WHERE SYDNEY BRISTOW IS
AND WHO BROKE HER OUT.

WAS IT HER FATHER?

WHAT I KNOW HERE

IS THAT SENDING AGENTS
TO ARREST ME

IN FRONT OF MY CHILDREN
IS ONE OF THE LAST MISTAKES

YOU'LL EVER MAKE
AS SENIOR DIRECTOR OF THE NSC.

I'VE KNOWN MEN LIKE YOU --

MEN WHO PRETEND
TO BE PATRIOTS.

YOU ARE ALWAYS REVEALED.

WHAT?

SIR, IT'S LAUREN REED.

SHE'S HERE.

SHE WAS THROWN FROM A VAN
IN FRONT OF THE BUILDING.

JUST DROVE BY
AND DUMPED HER.
WHEN?

LESS THEN FIVE MINUTES AGO.
SHE REFUSED MEDICAL SERVICES.

SAID SHE NEEDED
TO SPEAK WITH YOU.

AND THAT WAS THE COVENANT'S
ONLY DEMAND?

YES.

"YOUR PEOPLE WANT
SYDNEY BRISTOW.

WE WANT THE RAMBALDI
DEVICE."

THAT'S WHAT THE MAN SAID.

THE VOICE?

YES.

YOU DON'T FIND THE TIMING
CURIOUS?

THAT SYDNEY BRISTOW WAS TAKEN
FROM A BLACK OPS U.S. FACILITY,

THAT SOMEHOW
THEY TOOK YOU AS WELL,

THAT YOU'VE SINCE
BEEN RELEASED,

AND MEANWHILE YOUR HUSBAND
AND SYDNEY BRISTOW'S FATHER

ARE M.I.A. SEARCHING
FOR A COVENANT CELL?

CURIOUS?

NO.

LOGICAL, APPROPRIATE,
LUCKY AS HELL FOR ME -- YES.

I DON'T KNOW WHY
THE COVENANT IS WILLING

TO MAKE THIS EXCHANGE
OR WHAT IT MEANS,

BUT SYDNEY IS DEPENDING
ON YOUR MAKING THIS HAPPEN.

SINCE WHEN DID YOU AND BRISTOW
BECOME SO CLOSE?

OR IS THAT ABOUT SHARING
THE SAME MAN?

THIS IS A WOMAN'S LIFE.

PROTECT IT,
OR I WILL REPORT

EVERYTHING YOU'VE DONE
TO YOUR SUPERIORS.

NEED I REMIND YOU
THAT IT WAS YOUR HUSBAND

WHO HELPED HER
FLEE THE COUNTRY

WHEN SHE WAS WANTED
BY THE NSC?

IN THE WRONG HANDS,

THAT INFORMATION COULD BE
QUITE DAMAGING.

ONE MORE THING.

AT 6:30 THIS EVENING,
YOU ARE TO PRESS REDIAL.

THE PERSON WHO ANSWERS

WILL GIVE YOU
THE DETAILS OF THE EXCHANGE.

HELLO?

Man: [ Distorted ]
THE RAMBALDI DEVICE

IN EXCHANGE
FOR SYDNEY BRISTOW.

DO WE HAVE A DEAL?

YES.

KEEP THIS PHONE WITH YOU
AT ALL TIMES.

YOU WILL BE NOTIFIED
AS TO TIME AND PLACE.

LAUREN DID WELL.

I NEVER THANKED YOU

FOR HELPING ME
EXTRACT SYDNEY.

YOU DON'T HAVE
TO THANK ME.

YES, I DO.

ESPECIALLY GIVEN
YOUR HISTORY.

I USED TO THINK YOU DIDN'T
HAVE MUCH OF A SPINE.

AND HAS THAT ASSESSMENT
CHANGED AT ALL?

NO.

DR. BREZZEL'S
EXPECTING US.

THIS IS WHERE HE WORKS?

WOW.

SAY SOMETHING ELSE.

MAY WE COME IN?

PROFESSOR!

THERE ARE SOME BEAUTIFUL
PEOPLE HERE.

YOU KNOW,
I WAS THINKING JUST NOW,

UH, I WASN'T EXPECTING YOU
UNTIL TUESDAY,

AND, UM...HI.

AND THEN I REALIZED
THAT IT IS.

IT'S TUESDAY.
AND, UH...

YOU KNOW, YOU'VE COME TO ME
AT A REALLY AWKWARD TIME.

I'M NOT NEARLY FINISHED,

SO I CAN'T PROMISE YOU
ANYTHING.

STILL, YOUR RESEARCH
IN MEMORY RETRIEVAL

SOUNDS QUITE PROMISING.

OH, YEAH, WELL, THAT --
THAT'S --

WELL, IT'S REALLY A TRIP.

CAN I --
DO YOU MIND IF I...

[ WHISPERING ]

OH, SHE LIKES TO HUG PEOPLE.

THIS IS KAYA.

SHE'S ONE OF MY STUDENTS.

UH, CAPABLE, BUT, UH...

SHE'S ALL ABOUT HUGGING.

ALL ABOUT HUGGING...

YOU KNOW, I'M STARVING.

ANYONE ELSE?

OKAY, YOU HAVE GOT
TO BE KIDDING ME.

I CAN'T DO THIS.

LOOK, WE'RE NOT HERE BECAUSE
WE HAVE OTHER OPTIONS.

FACON?

AH, NO, THANKS.

FACON?
NO, THANK YOU.

NO?

FACON --

PROCESSED SOY PROTEIN

SHAPED AND COLORED
TO RESEMBLE

THE ESSENCE
OF SMOKED PIG FLESH.

WE LIVE IN AN AGE
OF SIMULATIONS.

BUT FACON IS ONLY ONE
OF MANY ILLUSIONS

OF THE POSTMODERN WORLD.

I DON'T KNOW ANYTHING
ABOUT YOU,

EXCEPT THAT I'M NOT SUPPOSED
TO KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT YOU.

SUFFICE TO SAY
THAT THERE ARE PEOPLE

WHO ARE UNDER THE IMPRESSION

THAT MY DAUGHTER
HAS COMMITTED A CRIME.

HER MEMORIES
ARE THE ONLY THINGS

THAT CAN EXONERATE HER.

I SEE.
SO THERE'S PRESSURE --

PRESSURE THAT THE THERAPY
SHOULD WORK.

UM, REAL STAKES.

AND HOW DOES
THE THERAPY WORK?

TELL THEM
HOW YOU GOT THE IDEA,

BUT NOT THE LONG VERSION.

I BEGAN
IN THE NEUROSCIENCES.

UH, BACKGROUND
IN PHILOSOPHY.

TREATED HEAD TRAUMA
PATIENTS FOR 12 YEARS

UNTIL ONE NIGHT ON I-95

I BECAME ONE OF THEM --

A HEAD TRAUMA PATIENT.

I DROVE INTO
THE HIGHWAY MEDIAN.

TOTALED MY PICKUP TRUCK.

SO I SPENT THE NEXT 18 MONTHS
IN VARIOUS FORMS OF TRACTION.

NOW, THAT'S NOT THE TORTURE
YOU'D EXPECT,

NOT MOVING
FOR A YEAR AND A HALF.

IT'S -- IT'S LIBERATING,
ODDLY.

WELL, IN ANY EVENT,
UH...

ONE NIGHT --

MONTH 11
OF MY MOTIONLESSNESS --

SOMETHING OBVIOUS
OCCURRED TO ME.

OUR DREAMS ARE BOTH
A PRIORI

AND A POSTERIORI,

WHICH MEANS THAT OUR DREAMS
CONTAIN OUR MEMORIES,

WHICH MEANS THAT THERE'S
A SHARED RESERVOIR.

SO, UM, I BEGAN
TO CONSIDER WAYS

TO CONSCIOUSLY ENTER
THE SUBCONSCIOUS --

WAYS TO CONVINCE THE BRAIN

THAT IT WAS TRULY
EXPERIENCING

THE DREAM MEMORY STATE.

SO, I TURNED
TO THE ONE THING

THAT I REALLY KNEW.

DRUGS.

ERGO, I TOTALED
MY PICKUP TRUCK.

WHAT ARE THE DRUGS?

OH, WELL, THE COCKTAIL'S
A, MM, HAPPY COMBO

OF SYNTHETICS
AND ORGANICS.

I MEAN, IT WON'T KILL YOU,

BUT DEPENDING
ON WHAT THEY ARE,

YOUR DREAMS JUST MIGHT.

I SAY WE GET
THIS PARTY STARTED.

KAYA WILL SHOW YOU
WHERE TO CHANGE.

COME WITH ME.

Brezzel: WHEN MOST PEOPLE
ARE ASLEEP,

THEY DON'T REALIZE
THEY'RE DREAMING

UNTIL THEY'RE AWAKE.

BUT YOU -- YOU'RE GOING
TO HAVE TO BECOME LUCID

IN THE DREAM STATE
ITSELF.

HOW DO I DO THAT?

WELL, THE DRUGS
I'M GOING TO GIVE YOU

WILL DO MOST OF THE WORK,

BUT I WILL BE MONITORING
YOUR NEURAL ACTIVITY,

AND WHEN I KNOW
YOU'RE IN REM,

I WILL GIVE YOU A VERBAL CUE
OVER THE HEADPHONES.

TELL ME, WHAT WAS
THE LAST THING YOU REMEMBER

BEFORE YOUR MISSING TIME?

BEING KNOCKED UNCONSCIOUS
IN MY APARTMENT.

OH.

I SEE.

UH, WELL,

ONCE YOU'RE AWARE THAT
YOU'RE IN THE DREAM STATE,

YOUR OBJECTIVE WILL BE
TO PICK UP THE THREAD

OF YOUR LAST MEMORY
IN AS MUCH DETAIL AS YOU CAN.

HOW?

WELL, YOU'RE GONNA --

YOU KNOW, YOU'RE JUST GOING
TO HAVE TO FEEL YOUR WAY BACK.

IT'S LIKE -- IT'S LIKE --

IT'S LIKE USING A MUSCLE

THAT YOU NEVER USED BEFORE.

IF YOU CAN GET
TO THAT POINT,

JUST STAY WITH IT,

BECAUSE ULTIMATELY
YOU WILL BECOME AWARE

OF WHAT HAPPENED NEXT.

I DON'T REALLY UNDERSTAND.

I KNOW. YOU WILL.

JUST BE AWARE

THAT IF YOU ENCOUNTER
A NEW MEMORY,

IT MIGHT BE TRAUMATIC.

BUT IT WON'T NECESSARILY
BE REAL.

OH, IT WILL BE TO YOU.

HERE ARE YOUR HEADPHONES.

I'M PUTTING THEM
ON YOU NOW.

AND...GOOD LUCK.

SYDNEY, I'M GOING
TO COUNT DOWN FROM 10.

BY THE TIME I REACH 1,

YOU WILL BE ASLEEP.

10...

9...

8...

7...

6...

5...

4...

3...

2...

1...

HEY.

VAUGHN.

YEAH, IT'S ME.

DON'T MOVE.

YOU'VE SUFFERED A SEVERE
HEAD TRAUMA.

WHAT?
ANY NAUSEA OR DIZZINESS?

NO. WHERE AM I?

ON THE WAY
TO THE HOSPITAL.

YOU HAVE A MILD CONCUSSION.
YOU'LL BE OKAY.

WE'LL RUN A C.T. SCAN
TO CHECK FOR BLEEDING.

LISTEN, WILL'S GOING
TO BE OKAY.
WHAT? WILL?

HE LOST A LOT OF BLOOD,
BUT WE GOT HIM IN TIME.

HE'S ON HIS WAY
TO CEDARS.

WILL'S
IN WITNESS PROTECTION.

THIS IS NORMAL -- GAPS IN MEMORY
LEADING UP TO THE INJURY.

SYDNEY, THE WOMAN YOU WERE
LIVING WITH WAS NOT FRANCIE.

WE FOUND A FILE
THAT WILL WAS COMPILING.

HER NAME IS ALLISON DORN.
YOU SHOT HER.

I KNOW. SHE WAS THE SECOND
DOUBLE, THE ONE WE NEVER FOUND.

IT'S COMING BACK TO YOU.

MISS, YOU NEED
TO LIE DOWN.

WAIT, WAIT.

THE COVENANT -- HAVE YOU
EVER HEARD OF THE COVENANT?

YEAH, THEY WERE LISTED
ON THE S.I.T. REPORT YESTERDAY

AS AN EMERGING THREAT. WHY?
ARE THEY INVOLVED IN THIS?

SLOANE --

HAS SLOANE BEEN PARDONED
BY THE STATE DEPARTMENT?

PARDONED?

YOU'RE NOT WEARING
A WEDDING RING.

NO, I THOUGHT WE'D GO
TO SANTA BARBARA FIRST

AND SEE HOW THAT WENT.

YOU'RE NOT MARRIED.

WOW, YOU REALLY DID
HIT YOUR HEAD, HUH?

I THOUGHT
YOU GAVE UP ON US.

SYD, WHEN I WALKED
INTO YOUR APARTMENT

AND I SAW YOU
LYING THERE,

I THOUGHT, GOD,
DON'T LET ME MISS A CHANCE

TO TELL HER
HOW MUCH I LOVE HER.

I LOVE YOU.

[ Gasps ] AAH!

SYDNEY?

GET AWAY FROM ME.

SYDNEY, YOU'RE DREAMING.

UH, IF YOU CAN HEAR ME,

THEN YOU'RE
IN A DREAM STATE.

YOU -- YOU NEED
TO USE IT

TO GET BACK
TO WHERE YOU WERE,

TO GET TO THE LAST MEMORY
YOU HAVE.

NOW, REMEMBER,

YOU SAID IT WAS
IN YOUR APARTMENT

THAT YOU WERE
KNOCKED OUT.

YOU MUST TRY

TO GO BACK
TO THAT PLACE.

YOU MUST TRY
TO FIND THAT PLACE.

SYDNEY, YOU ARE IN CONTROL
OF YOUR ENVIRONMENT.

GO NOW.

SHE'S OUT OF REM,

AND SHE EXISTS NOW
IN ACTUAL MEMORY.

SHE WAS KNOCKED UNCONSCIOUS
AFTER THE FIGHT.

HOW CAN SHE REMEMBER ANYTHING
THAT HAPPENED AFTER THAT?

BECAUSE UNCONSCIOUSLY,

THE MIND CAN STILL ESTABLISH
TRANS-HISTORICAL ACCOUNTS

OF THE REAL WORLD.

MEANING EVEN
WITH HER EYES CLOSED,

HER OTHER SENSES
WERE ALERT.

YES. THANK YOU.

AND BASED ON THOSE SENSES,

HER BRAIN WILL CONSTRUCT

AN ACCURATE
BUT INCOMPLETE MEMORY

OF THE EVENTS
THAT FOLLOWED.

THE BARBECUE CHIPS --

PLEASE, COULD YOU
PASS ME THOSE?

THANK YOU.

[ LAUGHTER ]

[ MEN WHISPERING ]

Sydney: I SEE THEM.
THEY'RE TAKING ME AWAY...

Brezzel: WHO, SYDNEY?

BUT I CAN'T SEE THEIR FACES.

WHAT DID SHE SAY?

UH, SOMEONE WITHOUT A FACE.
IT'S NOT THAT UNCOMMON.

[ Distorted ]
EXPECTED...

[ Distorted ]
EXPECTED BY NOW...

AT LEAST TWO MORE...

SCHEDULE...

EXPECTED BY NOW.

[Distorted]
AT LEAST TWO MORE...

AT LEAST TWO MORE...

IT SHOULD BE SOMEWHERE NEAR...
HOW MUCH FURTHER?

[Distorted]
THEY SAID THEY'D MEET US
AT THE SAFE HOUSE...

AND THEN
WE'LL GO GET ALLISON.

THERE WERE THREE
ALTOGETHER...

[Distorted] TAKE HER OUT.

DON'T.

All: HI, SYDNEY!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY.

HMM.
SHE'S EXTRAPOLATING.

MEANING WHAT?

UH, BRAIN ACTIVITY
INDICATES

HER MEMORY CENTERS
AREN'T ACTIVE.

SHE IS --
SHE'S IN A TANGENT.

I WAS
IN A TANGENT ONCE.

HOW NICE FOR YOU.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, HONEY.

MAKE A WISH, SYDNEY.

[ GIRLS CHEERING ]

TIME TO CUT THE CAKE.

IT'S ALL RIGHT.

[ GASPS ]

SYDNEY...

LISTEN TO ME.

YOU HAVE TO CONCENTRATE.

IT'S THE ONLY WAY YOU'RE
GOING TO GET BACK ON TRACK.

I DON'T KNOW HOW.

FOCUS ON THE LAST DETAIL
YOU REMEMBER.

THERE I AM.

EXCUSE ME.

I HAVE TO GO.

SYDNEY.

THIS IS --
THIS IS VERY, VERY UNUSUAL.

VERY UNUSUAL.

Vaughn: WHAT?

WELL, SHE--
SHE'S STILL IN BETA,

BUT SHE'S DREAMING.

THAT JUST --
THAT JUST DOESN'T HAPPEN.

SYDNEY.

YOU KNOW BETTER.

YOU WERE PART OF THIS.

KILL THE POWER FEED!
Jack: WHAT THE HELL'S
HAPPENING?

SHE'S IN V-TACH!

GET THE EPINEPHRINE!
IT'S ON THE TRAY.

GET THESE OFF HER.

SHE'S FLATLINING!

WE NEED
TO RESUSCITATE HER NOW.

GET THE DEFIBRILLATOR
PADDLES.

200 JOULES, CHARGING.

CLEAR!

WE NEED 300.
SYDNEY, WAKE UP.

CLEAR!

HEY.

VAUGHN.

HELP ME UP.

SYD.

I CAN'T HELP IT.
I JUST MISS YOU.

I DO.

YOU KNOW WE CAN'T DO THIS.

OH, GIVE ME A BREAK.

IT'S A DREAM.
WE CAN DO WHATEVER WE WANT.

NO.

AT LEAST I CAN.

SYD...

[ DOOR OPENS ]

YOUR VITALS ARE NORMAL.
YOU'RE GOING TO BE FINE.

I ASSUME HE'S TOLD YOU.

GOD, I --

IT'S OKAY.

MS. VAUGHN -- LAUREN!
MS. REED!

HEY.

WHOA.

I HAD TOO MANY
JELLY DOUGHNUTS.

ARE THOSE
THE DNA RESULTS?

UH, NOT EXACTLY.

I CHECKED THE SAMPLE AGAINST
ALL AVAILABLE DATA BANKS,

AND I WASN'T REALLY ABLE
TO FIND A MATCH,

BUT I DID RUN
SOME OTHER FORENSIC TESTS,

AND, WELL,

HOPE THIS HELPS.

YES, I UNDERSTAND.

THAT WAS LAUREN.

NO MATCH ON THE DNA.

WE STILL DON'T KNOW
WHO THE HAND BELONGS TO.

IN MY DREAM,

IT WAS MY BIRTHDAY.
I WAS 7.

WHEN I CUT THE CAKE,
I LOOKED DOWN,

AND I WAS CUTTING OFF
THIS HAND.

WHOSE HAND?
DID YOU SEE HIS FACE?

YES, I DID.

WHO WAS IT?

LAZAREY.

WHY WOULD I DREAM
I WAS CUTTING OFF THE HAND

OF A MAN I MURDERED?

FORENSIC ANALYSIS
LEADS MARSHALL

TO BELIEVE THAT WHOEVER
THIS HAND BELONGED TO WAS ALIVE

AS RECENTLY
AS FOUR MONTHS AGO.

WELL, THEN, IT COULDN'T
HAVE BEEN LAZAREY,

BECAUSE I KILLED HIM
LAST YEAR.

UNLESS YOU DIDN'T.

WHAT? I WAS ON THE VIDEOTAPE.
IT WAS ME.

I SLASHED HIS THROAT.

UNLESS YOU DIDN'T. IT COULD
HAVE BEEN A PERFORMANCE.

WELL, LAZAREY WAS
A RUSSIAN DIPLOMAT.

THE RUSSIANS MUST HAVE
TYPED HIS DNA.

LAUREN'S WORKED WITH THEM.
I'LL CALL HER,

HAVE HER GET A SAMPLE,
SEE IF IT'S A MATCH.

YOU KNOW, UH,
THIS REALLY WAS SOMETHING.

UH, WHATEVER
YOU EXPERIENCED

ELEVATED YOUR HEART RATE
TO THE POINT OF, UH,

VENTRICULAR TACHYCARDIA,

WHICH SENT YOU
INTO CARDIAC ARREST,

WHICH ALMOST SENT ME
INTO CARDIAC ARREST, AND --

UH, ARE YOU OKAY?

YEAH.

I MEAN,
I FEEL GREAT, ACTUALLY.

WHAT OTHER DETAILS
DO YOU REMEMBER?

AFTER MY FIGHT WITH ALLISON,

THESE MEN
CAME INTO THE ROOM.

I-I COULDN'T SEE THEIR FACES,
AND THEY WERE WEARING BLACK.

THEY TOOK ME TO A BUILDING.
I WAS ON A GURNEY.

THEY WHEELED ME
THROUGH THE DOOR,

AND I LOST THEM

BEFORE I COULD SEE
WHERE THEY TOOK ME NEXT.

LAUREN STRANGLED ME.

WELL, THAT WAS A DREAM.

IT MUST HAVE BEEN
A DREAM, RIGHT?

IT'S -- IT'S UNCLEAR.

YOU KNOW, THIS IS NOT
AN EXACT SCIENCE. IT --

AT THAT POINT IN YOUR LIFE,
YOU HAD NEVER EVEN MET LAUREN.

UH, YOU KNOW,

THIS WOULD PROBABLY BE
A REPRESENTATIONAL FIGURE,

WHICH IS ALSO
NOT THAT UNCOMMON, BY THE WAY.

MASKED FIGURES,
SHAPESHIFTERS --

THEY FIRST APPEAR
AS ONE CHARACTER,

YOUR MOTHER,
AN OLD CLASSMATE --

IN MY CASE,
A PARROT.

A PARROT.

UM, BUT THEY'RE REALLY
JUST PHYSICAL MANIFESTATIONS

OF SOMEONE ELSE.

I WANT TO GO BACK.

Jack: SYDNEY,
THAT'S A MISTAKE.

THEY WERE TAKING ME
TOWARDS A ROOM.

IT WAS ROOM 47.

THAT'S WHERE I WAS.
THAT'S WHERE I WAS BEING HELD.

I HAVE TO GO BACK AND SEE
WHAT HAPPENED TO ME IN THERE.

YOU'RE THE GREATEST.

ONCE YOU'RE UNDER,

YOU'LL MOST LIKELY BEGIN
IN A DREAM CYCLE.

AGAIN, NO MATTER
WHERE YOU ARE,

TRY TO PICK UP THE THREAD
OF YOUR LAST MEMORY

BY FOCUSING
ON A DETAIL YOU REMEMBER,

SOMETHING VIVID.

THERE WAS HANGING PLASTIC

IN THE BUILDING
WHERE I WAS TAKEN.

WELL, WHATEVER IT IS,

YOU'RE LOOKING
FOR A LINK --

A PORTAL
BACK TO YOUR MEMORY STATE,

BACK TO THE DOOR
YOU DESCRIBED.

Kaya: GOOD LUCK.

THANKS.

OKAY.

HERE'S THE HEADPHONES.

I AM GOING
TO PUT THEM ON YOU.

GOOD LUCK.

WHEN I RECEIVED
A CALL FOR THIS MEETING,

I ASSUMED IT WOULD BE
WITH A LOW-LEVEL AGENT.

YOU HAVE CONFIRMATION
OF THE COVENANT'S DEMANDS.

MY SOURCES HAVE CONFIRMED
THEY ARE HOLDING SYDNEY BRISTOW.

THEY'RE ASKING
FOR THE RAMBALDI DEVICE

IN EXCHANGE
FOR HER RELEASE.

THIS IS
AN AWKWARD CONVERSATION.

HOW SO?

BECAUSE OF
WHAT I'M ASKING OF YOU --

TO USE YOUR CONTACTS.

WHY COME TO ME?

BECAUSE YOU CAN GIVE ME
UNTRACEABILITY.

I'M LOOKING FOR SOMEONE
TRAINED IN WET WORK --

IN PARTICULAR,

DEAD SHOT
WITH A LONG-RANGE RIFLE.

I PLAN
ON MAKING THE TRADE.

DURING THE EXCHANGE,

I WANT SYDNEY BRISTOW
TAKEN OUT.

WHY MAKE THE TRADE?

IT'S VERY SIMPLE --

HAVE THE COVENANT
END HER LIFE.

BECAUSE
I WANT ASSURANCE

THAT SYDNEY BRISTOW
IS ELIMINATED.

AH.

I SEE.

SHE HAS SOMETHING ON YOU,
DOES SHE?

IF SHE'S HIT
BY A SNIPER,

IT'LL APPEAR AS IF
IT'S A COVENANT DOUBLE-CROSS.

WELL, WITH ALL DUE RESPECT,
MR. DIRECTOR,

WHAT GUARANTEE DO I HAVE

THAT THIS ISN'T
SOME FORM OF ENTRAPMENT?

BECAUSE I KNOW WHAT YOU'RE
UP TO, MR. SLOANE.

I CAN SEE
YOUR BIG PICTURE.

I KNOW YOUR ENDGAME.

I EVEN HAVE PROOF.

ONCE I ARRANGE
THE TRADE,

I'LL CALL YOU
WITH THE DETAILS.

THE DNA YOU GOT
FROM THE KREMLIN --

I MATCHED IT.

THE HAND
BELONGS TO LAZAREY?

YEAH.

I MEAN, IT BELONGED
TO LAZAREY BEFORE THE...

THANK YOU.

SURE.

YOU'RE SURE
THE DNA MATCHED LAZAREY.

YES, WHICH MEANS
SYDNEY DIDN'T KILL HIM.

LINDSEY HAS
NOTHING ON HER.

SHE CAN COME HOME.

THANK YOU.

YOU STILL ASLEEP?

I THINK SO.

[ BEBOP MUSIC QUIETLY
PLAYS OVER THE RADIO ]

I'VE NEVER HEARD
OF A ST. AIDAN.

THEY'RE HARD TO FIND.

DON'T FORGET THE CASE.

[ LOUD ROCK MUSIC PLAYING ]

SYD, YOU MADE IT.

HOPE YOU'RE READY

FOR AN EXPENSIVE LESSON
IN THE ART OF GAMBLING.

[ BOTH LAUGHING ]

I'M LOOKING
FOR THAT BUILDING.

CHECK THE KITCHEN.

KITCHEN.

THANKS.

Brezzel: OKAY.

SHE'S IN.

Vaughn: IS SHE ALL RIGHT?

UM, SHE'S ALPHA.

HER SEROTONIN LEVELS
ARE STILL INCREASING.

AND, UH, SEE?
HER HEART RATE'S UP.

SHE'S ON TRACK
FOR ANOTHER VIVID ONE.

YOU SHOULDN'T
HAVE COME BACK.

WHO ARE YOU?
WHO THE HELL ARE YOU?

I'M TELLING YOU,
YOU DON'T WANT TO BE HERE.

YOU'RE NOT LAUREN.

I KNOW YOU'RE NOT LAUREN.

IT DOESN'T MATTER
WHO I AM.

ALL THAT MATTERS
IS THAT YOU LEAVE.

YOU GET THE HELL
OUT OF MY WAY.

I CAN'T DO THAT.

YOU ARE SO STUBBORN!

YOU IDIOT.
WE WANT TO STAY AWAY.

WE KNOW THE COVENANT
HAD US.

WE SUSPECTED IT ALL ALONG.
OF COURSE WE'RE RIGHT.

IT WAS THE COVENANT.

WE THINK IT'S AN ACCIDENT
WE DON'T REMEMBER ANYTHING?

THEN WHAT HAPPENED TO ME?

TRUST LAZAREY.

WHAT DOES HE HAVE
TO DO WITH IT?

THAT'S ENOUGH QUESTIONS.

WHAT'S IN ROOM 47?

PULL HER OUT NOW. I'M NOT GOING
TO RISK HER LIFE AGAIN.

NO, HER HEART RATE'S
ALL RIGHT.

LET'S --
LET'S GIVE HER A CHANCE.

LEAVE, YOU IDIOT!

OH, MY GOD.
