Alias (2001–2006): Season 4, Episode 3 - The Awful Truth - full transcript

I'M THE BANK MANAGER.
WE SPOKE ON THE PHONE.

[ Jersey accent ] YEAH. MY JET
GOT BOUNCY OUT OF NEWARK.

NOT TO BE A PAIN
IN THE SHAKER,

BUT CAN WE CUT
TO THE DESSERT?

BY ALL MEANS, PLEASE.

THIS IS LEON.

HEY, HOW YOU DOING?
LEON FROST.

CPA OF V.I.P.
THAT'S A NICE SUIT.

THANKS, LEON.

SO, CAN WE DO BUSINESS?

[ British accent ] YES, I'M
SURE THIS IS THE RIGHT BANK.



PLEASE CHECK IT AGAIN.
ROGER FONSECA.

HAVE YOU NEVER HEARD
OF THE FONSECA VINEYARDS?

NO.
PLEASE, CHECK IT AGAIN.

F-O-N-S-E-C-A, LIKE IT SAYS
ON THE PASSPORT.

YOU GUARANTEE MY NAME
CAN'T BE TRACED

TO MY ACCOUNT NUMBER?

NOT THAT I HAVE ANYTHING
TO HIDE OR ANYTHING.

THE NAMES OF ALL
THE ACCOUNT HOLDERS

ARE STORED EXCLUSIVELY
IN MY PERSONAL SAFE

RIGHT HERE.

IT'S A MANHEIM.

PROTECTED BIOMETRICALLY.

IT'S GOOD ENOUGH
FOR THREE EX-PRESIDENTS,

I GUESS IT'S GOOD ENOUGH
FOR A PLUMBER'S WIFE.



[ LAUGHING ]

NOW, THE MINIMUM DEPOSIT
THAT I MENTIONED.

LEON.

THAT WOULD BE
MY DEPARTMENT.

AND...

EXCELLENT.

ALL RIGHT, UH,
YOUR FULL NAME.

CLAUDIA MARIA
VASQUEZ DeMARCO.

THAT'S A LOVELY NAME.

CHARMED, I'M SURE.

THIS IS RIDICULOUS.

I'M GONNA START
GETTING UPSET

IF YOU DON'T FIND
MY ACCOUNT INFORMATION NOW.

YOUR MANAGER WILL NOT BE HAPPY
TO LOSE MY BUSINESS.

EXCUSE ME, PLEASE, MISS.
YOU CAN TELL ME WHERE I CAN GO

TO CASH THIS CHECK.
I'M DOING BUSINESS HERE,
BRADY. GO BOTHER SOMEONE ELSE.

IS IT ME YOU ARE TALKING
TO LIKE THAT, MON?

YES, MON, IT IS.

AND I'M NOT IN A GOOD MOOD,
SO JUST WALK AWAY.

BOY, YOU NEED MORE PEACE
IN YOUR LIFE, BROTHER.

MAYBE YOU NEED A HEARING AID,
AND I'M NOT YOUR BROTHER,

SO SHOVE OFF.

BREAK IT OFF.
GUARD!

THIS IS YOUR ACCOUNT NUMBER,
AND THAT'S YOUR NAME --

IN CODE, OF COURSE.

[ PHONE RINGS ]

YES?

EXCUSE ME. I'LL BE
RIGHT BACK IN ONE MINUTE.

Marshall: NO PROBLEM.
WE'LL HOLD DOWN THE FORT.

ANYBODY TRIES TO STEAL
ANYTHING FROM YOU --

LEON!

OH. SORRY.

[ DOOR OPENS ]

WHAT WERE YOU DOING?

JUST...

BREAKING INTO YOUR SAFE.

YOU ALMOST FOOLED ME.

[ LAUGHS ]

[ DOORBELL RINGS ]

* ONE MORE TIME

* BEFORE I HIT THE ROAD

THANKS FOR COMING.
COME ON IN.

* SAY YOU LOVE ME,
SAY YOU LOVE ME *

* SAD TO SEE YOU GO

RIGHT HERE, PLEASE.

ALL RIGHT.

HERE YOU GO.

HUNGRY.

WHAT? I'M STARVING.
YOU'RE TAKING THREE.

THESE ARE FOR MY KIDS.

WELL,
THESE ARE FOR MITCHELL.

YOUR SON IS 14 MONTHS OLD.

IS THAT TOO YOUNG
TO HAVE PIZZA?

HEY, THANKS FOR INVITING US.

SO, I THINK SOMETHING'S
GOING ON

BETWEEN MY SISTER
AND THE BIRTHDAY BOY.

YEAH, I'VE BEEN WATCHING,

AND I CAN TELL YOU,
THAT'S NOT A GREAT THING.

WHY NOT?

WELL, 'CAUSE THE SAME THING
HAPPENS EVERY TIME.

HE GETS WAY TOO EAGER,
THE GIRL BREAKS HIS HEART,

AND I HAVE TO CLEAN IT UP.

DON'T BE A CYNIC.

PIZZA AND VEGETABLES?

I KNOW.

WE SHOULD GO SOMETIME.

NO WOMAN EVER WANTS TO GO
TO THE MAGIC CASTLE.

I LIKE MAGIC.

AND I LIKE
YOUR SMILE, TOO.

THIS ONE RIGHT HERE?
THIS SMILE?

YEAH, THAT ONE.

HOW RED IS MY FACE
RIGHT NOW?

VERY RED.

HEY, GUYS.
HOW'S IT GOING?

HEY. VERY WELL.

EASY, TIGER.

OH, NO, I'M ON FIRE,
MY FRIEND. SHE LOVES MAGIC.

DO YOU THINK PEOPLE
ARE HAVING FUN?

HEY!
WHOA!

YOU'RE SO OLD.

DUDE, YOU'RE SO BALD.

WHAT'S UP, MAN?
I'M SO GLAD YOU'RE HERE.

THESE ARE FRIENDS OF MINE.
THIS IS SYDNEY. AND NADIA.
HOW YOU DOING?

HI, NICE TO MEET YOU.
AND, UH...

MICHAEL?
RIGHT.

HOW YOU DOING, MAN?
NICE TO MEET YOU.

I USED TO WORK WITH
THESE GUYS UNTIL THEY WENT

PRIVATE SECTOR ON ME.
WHAT DO YOU DO NOW?

I WORK IN A BANK --

IN THE LOAN DEPARTMENT.

LOOKS LIKE THE PARTY
JUST GOT STARTED.

HEY, MR. BRISTOW.

WANT SOME PIZZA
OR A COCKTAIL?

DAD.

IT MUST HAVE BEEN
LOST IN THE MAIL.

YOUR INVITATION?

UNLESS IT WAS AN E-VITE.

I DON'T READ E-VITES.

YOUR MISSION LAST WEEK
IN THE BAHAMAS PAID OFF.

WE KNOW WHO HAS THE VALTA.

THAT'S WHAT YOU CAME HERE
TO TELL ME?

THERE'S A BRIEFING
IN THE MORNING.

I KNOW.

I'VE LEARNED THAT YOU INVITED
YOUR SISTER TO LIVE HERE.

I'M LETTING HER
STAY HERE, YES.

ARE YOU AWARE THAT SLOANE
HAS LANGLEY'S APPROVAL

TO MAKE HER A PERMANENT
MEMBER OF OUR TEAM AT A.P.O.?

IF YOU'RE WONDERING
WHETHER I'VE TOLD NADIA

THAT YOU KILLED OUR MOTHER,
NO, I HAVEN'T.

BUT I PLAN TO.

OUT OF SPITE?

OUT OF RESPECT.

SYDNEY, CONSIDER
THE RAMIFICATIONS.

SHE'S MY SISTER.
I NEED TO TELL HER THE TRUTH.

THIS ISN'T ABOUT
WHAT YOU NEED, SYDNEY.

NO, APPARENTLY IT'S ABOUT
WHAT YOU NEED.

YOU DON'T KNOW HOW NADIA
MAY REACT TO THAT INFORMATION.

WHICH WILL BE ESPECIALLY TRUE
IF SHE FINDS OUT

FROM ANOTHER SOURCE.

I NEEDN'T REMIND YOU
THAT YOUR SISTER

HAS SWORN TO KILL
THE MAN RESPONSIBLE

FOR YOUR MOTHER'S DEATH.

HEY.
HI.

SYD, WHERE ARE THE CANDLES?
THESE GUYS WANT TO DO THE CAKE.

I'LL BE RIGHT THERE.
OKAY.

[ "YOU ALL, EVERYBODY"
BY DRIVESHAFT PLAYING ]

TRUST ME, DAD,
I DON'T LOOK FORWARD

TO TELLING NADIA
WHAT YOU DID

OR WHY YOU DID IT.

BUT SHE WILL LEARN
THE TRUTH SOMEHOW,

AND I WOULD RATHER IT
BE FROM ME.

10 DAYS AGO,

THE VALTA COMPUTER
WAS STOLEN IN BROAD DAYLIGHT

AS IT WAS BEING TRANSFERRED
TO NSA HEADQUARTERS.

NOW, THE VALTA REPRESENTS
CUTTING-EDGE TECHNOLOGY.

IT WILL REVOLUTIONIZE
INFORMATION GATHERING

FROM SATELLITE NETWORKS.

IF IT FALLS
IN THE WRONG HANDS --

IT WOULD BE LIKE
MONSTER BAD.

SIMPLY PUT, WE CANNOT LET
THE VALTA BE DELIVERED.

DELIVERED TO WHOM?

A NEW TERRORIST NETWORK OUT OF
GERMANY -- THE BADENLIGA.

THE THEFT WAS FINANCED
BY TRANSFERRING 3 MILLION EUROS

INTO AN UNTRACEABLE ACCOUNT
IN THE BAHAMAS.

YOUR WORK HAS GIVEN US
THE NAME OF THAT ACCOUNT --

MARTIN BISHOP.

INTEL INDICATES THAT BISHOP
IS STILL WAITING

TO RECEIVE FINAL PAYMENT
BEFORE HE DELIVERS THE VALTA.

THEN WE NEED TO GET
TO BISHOP RIGHT AWAY.

WHAT DO WE KNOW
ABOUT HIM?

HE'S A BRITISH EX-PAT
LIVING IN SPAIN.

HE HAS A REPUTATION
AS A LADYKILLER -- LITERALLY.

HIS WIFE DISAPPEARED
THREE YEARS AGO.

RUMOR HAS IT THAT HE KILLED HER

TO SPEND MORE TIME
WITH HIS MISTRESS.

CHARMING.

PROFESSIONALLY,
BISHOP SPECIALIZES

IN ACQUIRING HIGH-RISK,
HIGH-REWARD MILITARY TARGETS.

THE VALTA MUST BE RECOVERED
OR DESTROYED.

I WANT YOU TO FIND IT.
THAT'LL BE ALL.

SYDNEY.

THANK YOU.

[ DOOR CLOSES ]

FOR WHAT?

FOR LETTING MY DAUGHTER
STAY WITH YOU.

AS NADIA ACCLIMATES
TO THIS LIFE,

TO HER NEW FAMILY,

SHE NEEDS SUPPORT,

AND YOU HAVE PUT
MY MIND AT EASE.

THE THOUGHT
THAT I DID SOMETHING

THAT MIGHT HAVE GIVEN YOU
A WARM AND FUZZY FEELING

MAKES ME WANT TO KICK
MY OWN SISTER OUT OF MY HOUSE.

YEAH.

WELL, NADIA WON'T BE
ASSISTING YOU

ON THE BISHOP CASE.

NOW THAT SHE'S JOINING
OUR TEAM,

YOUR FATHER HAS OFFERED

TO RUN HER THROUGH
HER PSYCH EVALUATION.

REALLY?

THE YAKAHOSHI REVIEW
CAN PREDICT

HOW AN INDIVIDUAL
WILL REACT

TO HIGHLY STRESSFUL
SITUATIONS

AND THE DISCOVERY
OF DELICATE INTEL.

DELICATE INTEL?

SYDNEY, I'M RESIGNED
TO THE FACT

THAT YOU'RE GOING
TO TELL NADIA WHAT HAPPENED,

BUT WHEN ARE YOU GOING
TO DO THAT?

NOW? TWO HOURS BEFORE
YOU LEAVE FOR AN OPERATION?

NOT UNTIL I GET BACK.

UNDERSTOOD.

AND I AGREE.
IT'S FOR THE BEST.

WHAT ARE YOU UP TO, DAD?

THEY'RE WAITING FOR YOU,
SYDNEY.

NADIA.

IS HE ALWAYS SO COLD?

JACK?

I'M AFRAID SO.

SO, I WAS WONDERING,
ARE YOU FREE TONIGHT?

THERE'S THIS RESTAURANT
ON MELROSE.

IT SERVES ARGENTINEAN FOOD.

WE CAN GO
ANYPLACE YOU'D LIKE.

I'D LIKE THAT.

GOOD.

I'LL SEE YOU
WHEN YOU'RE THROUGH.

OKAY.

Vaughn: GREAT. I'LL CHECK
THAT OUT WITH THE NSA.

INTEL INDICATES
BISHOP OWNS A DOZEN

INDUSTRIAL PROPERTIES IN SPAIN.
ANY ONE OF THEM COULD BE

A SAFE HIDING PLACE
FOR THE VALTA.

BISHOP ALSO RECENTLY PURCHASED
AN MK-1200

FROM CHELINE TECH.

WELL, YOU DON'T BUY
A SERVER LIKE THAT

TO LOOK AT ONLINE PORN.

NO, YOU BUY IT
TO COORDINATE

INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS
OPERATIONS.

AT LEAST
THAT'S WHAT IT'S MADE FOR.

LOGISTICS, ESSENTIALLY.

SO LET'S ASSUME
THE LOCATION OF THE VALTA

IS ON THAT SERVER.
AND THE SERVER'S
ON HIS ESTATE.

AN HOUR OUT OF MALAGA.
A COUPLE HUNDREDS ACRES.

AND YOU CAN'T HACK INTO

AN MK-1200
FROM THE OUTSIDE, FYI.

OKAY, SO WHAT IF
YOU'RE ON THE INSIDE?

MULTIPLE ELECTRIC FENCES,

CAMERAS ON HIGH SWEEP,
ARMED GUARDS, COMM JAMMERS.

WELL, IF YOU CAN
GET PAST ALL THAT,

I'VE GOT THIS REALLY
COOL LASER LOCK PICK

THAT WILL HELP YOU
HACK INTO THE SERVER.

IT'S HOUSED IN THIS WATCH
THAT'S AWESOMELY DESIGNED BY ME,

MARSHALL J. FLINKMAN.

EXCEPT I'M STILL WORKING
ON THAT OVERHEATING PROBLEM --

SO WE NEED TO GET
INTO THAT HOUSE,

GET INTO THE SERVER,
AND THAT WILL TELL US

WHERE HE'S HIDING
THE VALTA.

HOW DO YOU BREAK INTO
THE HOUSE OF A MASTER THIEF?

I DON'T THINK YOU DO.

I THINK YOU HAVE TO BE
INVITED.

* WELL, YOU'RE WALKIN'
AND A-TALKIN' *

* AND A-MOVIN' AND A-GROOVIN'
AND A-HIPPIN' AND A-HOPPIN' *

* AND A-PICKIN' AND A-BOPPIN'

* THOSE BODS ARE BEING BAD,
YOU BETTER TAKE A STAND *

* YOU GONNA WAKE UP THAT THING
IN YOUR HAND *

* BUT HE'S FASTER THAN ME

* YOU'RE MY WALKIE-TALKIE MAN

* LAST NIGHT AT THE SHOW

* WE SAW HIM
GOING OUT OF HIS TREE *

* GO, GO, GO, GO

OK, THEY'RE APPROACHING.

I'VE LOCKED ON
TO THE CELL PHONE FREQUENCIES.

ALL SET.

PULL OVER.

MARSHALL, CAN YOU FLIP THAT?

OH. SORRY.

OKAY. CELL PHONES
ARE JAMMED.

HEY, IT'S NOT IGNITING.

WHAT? ALL RIGHT,
HOLD ON A SEC.

SOMETIMES YOU JUST NEED
A LITTLE MAGIC TOUCH.

AND...

FIRE.

Sydney: HELP! HELP!

I CAN'T GET
MY SEATBELT OFF!

ARE YOU ALL RIGHT?

NO, I -- MY SEATBELT'S STUCK.
PLEASE, SIR, PLEASE HURRY.

CAN YOU MOVE?
PLEASE, MY SEATBELT
RIGHT HERE!

PLEASE!
CALL FOR HELP!

I CAN'T GET MY SEATBELT OFF!
PLEASE, SIR, PLEASE!

IT'S STUCK!
PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE...

IT'S STUCK.

TRIGGER THE BELT.

WHAT, YOU DON'T WANT
TO MILK THIS A LITTLE BIT?

MARSHALL, DO IT.

SORRY. YOU DON'T HAVE
TO GET SO SNAPPY.

[ GROANING ]

I CAN'T GET --

[ DIALING ]

UHH!

UHH!

AND NOW FOR THE BIG FINISH --

[ British accent ]
ROCK 'N' ROLL CLEVELAND!

[ CHARGING ]

AHH!

SIR, ARE YOU OKAY?

I'M FINE.
WHAT ABOUT YOU?

YEAH.

SIR, I CAN'T GET A SIGNAL.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT'S WRONG.

PLEASE DON'T CALL ANYBODY.
PLEASE.

YOU JUST ROLLED YOUR CAR.

YOU MUST HAVE BEEN GOING
AT 200 KILOMETERS AN HOUR.

SOMETIMES YOU NEED
TO DRIVE FAST.

SO WHY ARE YOU
IN SUCH A RUSH?

LONG STORY.

THIS GUY SCARES ME.

I MEAN, HE KILLED HIS WIFE.
HE'S A WIFE-KILLER.

BEAT HER TO DEATH,
STUFFED HER IN A DUMPSTER,

WHO KNOWS WHAT ELSE?

MARSHALL, SHUT UP.

WHERE YOU HEADED?

YOU JUST SAVED MY LIFE.

PERHAPS I DID.

I'M QUITE SOMETHING,
AREN'T I?

TO ME YOU ARE.

YOU KNOW, A DOCTOR
SHOULD REALLY LOOK AT --

NO.

I'M FINE.

LOOK, I JUST NEED
A PLACE TO REST.

I HAVEN'T SLEPT MUCH
THE PAST FEW DAYS, THAT'S ALL.

I'M FINE.

I LIVE NEAR HERE.

I'M TAKING YOU
BACK TO MY HOUSE.

OKAY.

[ CAR DOOR CLOSES ]

Dixon: OUTRIGGER TO BASE.
PHOENIX IS IN.

SHE'S ON HER OWN.

[ KEYBOARD CLACKING ]

Vaughn: SHOTGUN TO BASE.
WE'RE IN POSITION.

WE'RE STILL ON SCHEDULE.

OUTRIGGER'S PATCHING US
INTO THE GRID.

WE'LL HAVE LASER MIKE
OPERATIONAL IN FIVE MINUTES.

AFFIRMATIVE, SHOTGUN.

WE'RE STANDING BY
FOR YOUR INFORMATION.

ROGER THAT.

ARE YOU SURE WE CAN'T
USE STANDARD COMMS?

NO, BISHOP IS USING AT LEAST
FOUR HIGH-IMPEDANCE JAMMERS.

OKAY, I MEAN,
TO BURROW A HOLE

THROUGH THAT KIND OF NOISE,
SYDNEY WOULD HAVE TO WEAR

A GENERATOR THE SIZE
OF A BABY HIPPOPOTAMUS.

YOU KNOW, AND THAT'S
CERTAINLY NO WAY

TO SNEAK AROUND
SOMEBODY'S HOUSE,

WITH A BABY HIPPOPOTAMUS
STRAPPED TO YOUR...BACK.

GOOD LUCK.

[ SHOWER RUNNING ]

[ SHOWER STOPS ]

[ WATER DRAINING ]

[ DOOR CLOSES ]

IT'S A NICE SHOWER.

YEAH?

GOOD.

I'M GLAD YOU LIKE IT.

HOW ARE YOU FEELING?

FINE.

GRATEFUL.

NO MORE THANKS.

YOU'RE A GOOD EXCUSE
TO GET TO KNOW MY HOUSE.

I HAVEN'T BEEN
IN THIS ROOM IN THREE YEARS.

THREE YEARS?

NOT SINCE MY WIFE LEFT ME.

I'M SORRY TO HEAR
ABOUT IT.

IT'S IN THE PAST.

[ CELLULAR PHONE RINGS ]

YEAH?

YOUR SHOULDER.

IT'S NOTHING.

ALL OF THIS DIDN'T COME
FROM THE ACCIDENT.

IT'S FINE.

WHO ARE YOU RUNNING FROM?

YOUR WIFE LEFT YOU.
I LEFT SOMEONE.

ONLY HE DIDN'T WANT ME
TO GO.

WHO IS HE?

I CAN HAVE SOMEONE
TALK TO HIM.

I'M ALL RIGHT.

NOW I'M ALL RIGHT.

I'LL JUST HAVE TO REMEMBER

NOT TO WEAR
SOMETHING STRAPLESS.

I HAVE SOME BUSINESS
IN TOWN.

STAY HERE, CHARLENE,

AND REST.

WHEN I GET BACK,
WE'LL HAVE DINNER.

MY CAR'S TOTALED.

I'M NOT GOING ANYWHERE.

THANK YOU, MARTIN.

OH, STAY INSIDE.

DON'T WANDER THE GROUNDS.

THERE'S...SECURITY.

I'LL STAY PUT.

YOU MIGHT NEED TO WAKE ME
WHEN YOU GET BACK.

I LOOK FORWARD TO IT.

[ BEEPING ]

YOU'VE BEEN SENT TO PARIS

TO EXTRACT
A DEEP-COVER OPERATIVE.

YOU'VE SUCCESSFULLY TRANSFERRED
HIM TO A SAFE HOUSE

ON ILE ST. LOUIS

WHEN A SECURE COMMUNICATION
COMES IN

THAT YOU'VE BEEN EXPOSED.

DO YOU ABORT?

WELL, THAT DEPENDS
IF HE'S --

WHAT'S YOUR IMPULSE?
THAT'S WHAT THIS IS ABOUT.

IS THE OPERATIVE
ONE OF US?

YES OR NO?

NO.

WHILE TAPPING A PHONE LINE
OF A TARGET IN NEW DELHI,

YOU'RE SPOTTED BY THE ENEMY.

YOUR PARTNER TELLS YOU

TO CONTINUE
WITH THE MISSION OBJECTIVE

WHILE HE NEUTRALIZES
THE TARGET.

DO YOU OBEY HIM
OR FIGHT BACK?

IS THE PHONE SYSTEM
THE NEW PBX MATRIX?

JUST ANSWER THE QUESTION,
PLEASE.

WHY IS MY PARTNER
A MAN?

THE SEX OF YOUR PARTNER
IS IRRELEVANT.

OH.

NO, I WOULD NOT OBEY.

I'D HELP HER
FIGHT HIM OFF.

THEN SHE AND I COULD
FINISH THE JOB TOGETHER.

JACK?

HOW'S SHE DOING?

I DON'T QUITE KNOW YET.

OH, COME ON, JACK.
IT'S BEEN TWO HOURS.

YOU MUST HAVE FORMED
AN OPINION.

I HAVE,
BUT I NEED TO BE CERTAIN.

OF COURSE.

SHOTGUN TO PHOENIX.

HOW DO YOU READ?

THIS IS SO WEIRD.

IT SOUNDS LIKE
YOU'RE RIGHT NEXT TO ME.

YOU CAN HEAR ME?

NO.

GOOD. IT'S LIKE TALKING
TO MY CONSCIENCE.

IT IS A LITTLE BIT,
ISN'T IT?

MERLIN, WHAT'S YOUR STATUS?

GIVE ME A SEC.

OKAY, UH...

OKAY, LET ME SEE.

OKAY, WE'VE GOT A HUGE
POWER DRAIN IN THE BASEMENT.

IT'S THE ROOM
AT THE FAR SOUTHERN END.

COPY THAT.

PHOENIX, YOUR TARGET
IS IN THE BASEMENT.

SOUTHERNMOST ROOM.
IT LOOKS LIKE AN OFFICE.

RENDEZVOUS AT THE FAR WINDOW
ON THE FIRST FLOOR.

MOVE ON MY MARK.

I SEE TWO VISIBLE BOGEYS,

ONE ON THE THIRD FLOOR,

ONE BELOW.

OKAY, YOU'RE CLEAR.

GO.

[ SYDNEY'S VOICE, MUFFLED ]

I WAS UPSIDE DOWN,

AND THE SEATBELT
WOULDN'T COME UNDONE.

AND THE CAR WAS BLAZING.

JOSS -- JOSS, CALM DOWN.
I'LL TELL YOU.

HE PULLED ME OUT.

AND WE JUST GOT FREE,
AND THE THING BLEW UP.

HUGE.

WE'RE GOOD.

GOOD. MOVE FAST.

OW.

COME ON, COME ON, COME ON.

I FOUND THE VALTA.

IT'S LOCATED
AT ALAMEDA YARDS.

I.D. NUMBER IS CHARLIE-0717.

OKAY, THE COAST IS CLEAR.
GET OUT OF THERE.

I'LL SEE YOU
AT THE EXTRACTION POINT.

SYDNEY'S ON HER WAY.

ON OUR WAY FOR PICKUP.

THIS IS ARVIN SLOANE.

REQUESTED INTEL
HAS BEEN ACQUIRED.

VALTA IS LOCATED
IN CONTAINER I.D. CHARLIE-0717

IN ALAMEDA YARDS.

[ CAR APPROACHES ]

WAIT. STAND DOWN.

WHAT?
WHAT IS IT?

I SAW YOU PULL IN.

YOU SEEM OUT OF BREATH.

I'M JUST GLAD YOU'RE BACK.

REALLY?

THIS WAY.

WE'VE GOT A PROBLEM.

YOU'RE ONE
OF A THREE-MAN TEAM --

THREE-WOMAN TEAM,
IF YOU PREFER.

A TACTICAL MISSION.

YOU SUSPECT THAT ONE OF YOUR
TEAM MEMBERS MAY BE A MOLE.

DO YOU TELL THE THIRD?

HMM.

NO.

YOU RETURN FROM
AN OPERATION OVERSEAS.

WHILE THE MISSION
WAS SUCCESSFUL,

CERTAIN INFORMATION
MAY REFLECT NEGATIVELY

ON ONE OF YOUR TEAM MEMBERS.

DO YOU INCLUDE SAID INFORMATION
IN YOUR OP REPORT?

NO.

MR. BRISTOW?

YES?

I DON'T MEAN TO SEEM
IMPATIENT,

BUT I'VE NEVER DONE
ANYTHING

THAT'S LASTED
AS LONG AS THIS.

HOW SAD FOR YOU.

[ PHONE RINGS ]

JACK BRISTOW.

WE'RE THROUGH.

I GAVE LANGLEY
THE LOCATION OF THE VALTA.

ARE THEY ACTING ON IT?

THEY HAVE A TEAM
STANDING BY IN MALAGA.

THEY'RE ABOUT TO RAID
ONE OF BISHOP'S TRUCK YARDS.

WHAT ABOUT SYDNEY?

SHE'S STILL IN THE HOUSE
WITH BISHOP.

IS HER COVER BLOWN?

I DON'T KNOW.

CAN WE EXTRACT HER?

NOT YET. LANGLEY CONSIDERS
THE RAID TOP PRIORITY.

WE HAVE THE AUTHORITY
TO SEIZE BISHOP

ONLY AFTER THE VALTA
IS SECURED OR DESTROYED.

I'M SORRY, JACK, BUT I JUST
THOUGHT THAT YOU SHOULD KNOW.

THEN I'M GOING TO SPAIN
MYSELF,

AND I'D LIKE TO TAKE
NADIA WITH ME.

UH, ABOUT THAT --

HAVE YOU LEARNED
ANYTHING HELPFUL?

ENOUGH.

ENOUGH TO DEAL
WITH THE PROBLEM AT HAND.

[ SOFT MUSIC PLAYING ]

IT OCCURRED TO ME
THAT THIS NIGHT

REPRESENTS THINGS
I'VE BEEN CONSIDERING

FOR SOME TIME.

HOW'S THAT?

THE CHOICES I MAKE.

PEOPLE WITH WHOM I CHOOSE
TO KEEP COMPANY.

WORK VERSUS...
EVERYTHING ELSE.

IF YOU CAN HEAR ME,
TUCK YOUR HAIR BEHIND YOUR EAR.

SOUNDS LIKE
A MID-EXISTENTIAL CRISIS.

YES. THAT'S IT.

OKAY, LANGLEY'S ORDERED
A RAID ON THE ALAMEDA YARD.

YOU HAVE GOT TO GET
OUT OF THERE.

Sydney: IT'S EASY
TO DOUBT YOURSELF,

BUT SOMETIMES YOU NEED
TO STICK WITH IT

AND STAY THE COURSE.

DAMN IT, NO.
YOU'VE GOT TO GET OUT OF THERE.

WHEN BISHOP HEARS ABOUT
THE RAID, HE'LL SUSPECT YOU.

BUT I THINK IN MY CASE,

IT MIGHT BE TIME TO MAKE
A MID-COURSE CORRECTION.

FACT IS, I DON'T BELIEVE
IN COINCIDENCE.

MEANING WHAT?

YOU AND I WERE DESTINED
TO MEET?

POSSIBLY.

BUT I'M MORE INTERESTED
TO KNOW WHY WE MET.

I TOLD YOU,

I WAS INVOLVED
WITH THE WRONG MAN.

I DON'T BELIEVE THAT.

LET'S MOVE!
MOVE, MOVE!

GO.

CALL ONE IN POSITION.

FAN OUT.

MOVE.

GET OUT! GET OUT!

[ SHOUTING ]

EVERYONE GET BACK,
RIGHT NOW!

FALL BACK!

COVER ME!

I DON'T GET IT. WHY DOESN'T
SHE JUST KICK HIS ASS,

YOU KNOW, AND THEN RUN?

SHE DOESN'T WANT
TO BLOW HER COVER.

WANTS TO GET OUT CLEAN
IN CASE THE RAID GOES SOUTH.

SHOTGUN, TEAM'S DOWN.

WEISS WAS TEAM LEADER.

WE BELIEVE
HE'S BEEN CAPTURED.

TAKE THAT
SON OF A BITCH OUT.

THE CIA TEAM'S UNDER ATTACK.
THEY'VE GOT WEISS.

YOU'RE TREMBLING.

I WANT TO BE HONEST,

BUT EVERYTHING HAS HAPPENED
SO FAST.

I PROMISED MYSELF
I WOULDN'T SEE SOMEONE AGAIN.

I REALLY NEED MORE DETAILS.

ABOUT ME?
WE DON'T HAVE MORE DETAILS.

WEISS TOOK OUT THE VALTA
WITH THE GRENADE,

AND THEN HE WENT RADIO-SILENT.
YOU'VE GOT TO MOVE NOW.

I HAVE NOTHING TO HIDE.

[ CELLULAR PHONE RINGS ]

EXCUSE ME.

YEAH?

Man: SIR, WE'VE JUST HAD
AN INCIDENT AT ALAMEDA YARD.

HOW BAD?

THE VALTA WAS DESTROYED.
IT WAS CIA.

I DOUBLE-CHECKED
OUR SIGNAL'S TRAFFIC.

SOMEBODY WAS ON YOUR SERVER,
IN YOUR HOUSE, AN HOUR AGO.

INTERESTING.

THANK YOU, PIERRE.

YOU ALL RIGHT?

YOUR EXPRESSION --

REMINDS ME OF MY UNCLE.

SHOTGUN TO OUTRIGGER,
PHOENIX JUST GAVE THE CALL SIGN.

I'M GOING IN.
REQUEST BACKUP.

I'M ON MY WAY.
BLOW THE ALARM SYSTEM.
GOT IT.

Vaughn:
OUTRIGGER, ANYTHING?

Dixon: NEGATIVE.

WHERE IS SHE?

WHERE IS ANYONE?

THE ESCAPE TUNNEL ONLY
GAVE THEM A 10-MINUTE LEAD.

I KNOW. I KNOW.
OKAY, I KNOW.
THEY'VE GOT TO BE SOMEWHERE.

SO FIND THEM.
YOU'RE GETTING
VERY IMPATIENT.

I'M DOING THE BEST I CAN.
YOU'VE BEEN DOING IT
FOR AN HOUR.

WELL, TO TRACE A GUY
ON A CELLULAR NETWORK

USING THE FREQUENCY
OF HIS PHONE IS LIKE TRYING

TO FIND A NEEDLE IN A COUNTY
FULL OF HAYSTACKS.

YOU HAVE TO FIND --
YEAH, I KNOW WHAT I'M SUPPOSED
TO BE DOING, ALL RIGHT?

JUST SHUT UP!

SORRY ABOUT THAT.

NO. THAT WAS GOOD.

[ BEEPING ]

HEY, WE GOT A HIT.
FOUND THEM?

WELL, THE CELL PHONE
SIGNAL'S WEAK.

CAN YOU LOCATE THEM?
YEAH, I'M TRYING.

Jack: OKAY.

THEY WERE TRACKING BISHOP.

WE'LL COORDINATE
WITH VAUGHN ON THE GROUND.

I KNOW IT MUST BE HARD
FOR YOU...

HAVING ME AT A.P.O.

NOT AT ALL.

I CAN'T DEFEND THE CHOICES
MY MOTHER MADE.

NADIA, I WOULD NEVER BLAME YOU
FOR YOUR MOTHER'S INFIDELITY.

BUT THERE IS SOMETHING
I NEED TO SHARE WITH YOU.

I ONLY DO THIS BECAUSE
OF YOUR TEST RESULTS.

DID I FAIL HORRIBLY?

HARDLY.

NOT SURPRISINGLY,
YOUR ABILITY TO ADAPT

TO SUDDEN CHANGES
IN PROTOCOL,

TO HANDLE ADVERSE SITUATIONS
IS EXCEPTIONAL.

THE RESULTS WERE VERY MUCH
LIKE YOUR SISTER'S.

SYDNEY DOESN'T KNOW
THIS YET.

THE RESULT OF AN ONGOING
INVESTIGATION.

IRONICALLY, THIS INTEL
CAME IN TO ME

JUST THIS MORNING.

[ PHONE RINGS ]

THIS IS SLOANE.

IT'S VAUGHN.
WE'VE GOT JACK AND NADIA.

WE'RE TRACKING BISHOP,
AND WE'RE EN ROUTE.

[ DOOR OPENS ]

LET ME EXPLAIN
SOMETHING TO YOU.

I HAVE BEEN PAID --
HANDSOMELY PAID --

BY THE BADENLIGA
TO DELIVER THE VALTA COMPUTER,

WHICH YOU DECIDED TO DESTROY
WITH THE TOSS OF A HAND GRENADE.

YOU'RE WELCOME.

AS YOU CAN IMAGINE,
THEY WON'T BE VERY HAPPY.

AND WHEN THEY GET HERE,
WHICH THEY WILL SHORTLY,

THEY'LL KILL ME.

UNLESS I CAN PROVIDE THEM
WITH INFORMATION

OF AN EQUAL OR GREATER VALUE.

YOU'RE BOTH CIA,

SO YOU'VE OBVIOUSLY INFILTRATED
MY FRIENDS' NETWORK.

I WANT TO KNOW HOW.

SO...

WHAT'S YOUR REAL NAME,
CHARLENE?

I'M, UH...

"I'M, UH..." WHAT?

I'M A-GONNA KICK YOUR ASS.

YOU SON OF A BITCH!

THE NEXT ONE GOES
BETWEEN YOUR EYES.

NOW --

[ CELLULAR PHONE RINGS ]

[ RING ]

YEAH?

THE BADENLIGA.

IF THEY MOVE, SHOOT THEM
IN THE KNEECAPS.

[ GROANING ]

GOD, MY HEART!

AAH!

WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON?

YOU SAID
YOU WEREN'T AGENCY ANYMORE.

I'LL TELL YOU LATER.
THANKS FOR THE DISTRACTION.

YEAH, THANKS
FOR SAVING MY LIFE.

WAIT A MINUTE, THIS IS
BLACK OPS, ISN'T IT?

HUH? VAUGHN PART OF THIS, TOO?
WE GOT TO GO.

AM I RIGHT?

WE GOT TO GO.

GO FOR BISHOP.

[ CAR SPEEDING ]

[ DOOR SLAMS ]

DUDE, I KNEW IT!

[ GUN CLICKS ]

[ CARTRIDGE DROPS ]

I LIKED YOU...

MUCH BETTER...

AS CHARLENE.

[ COCKS GUN ]

[ GUN CLICKING ]

IS THAT HOW YOU NORMALLY
DEAL WITH BAD GUYS?

HE WAS THE ONE.

BISHOP.

HE KILLED OUR MOTHER.

DAD, WHY DOES NADIA THINK
THAT BISHOP KILLED OUR MOTHER?

I ADJUSTED SOME DETAILS
IN BISHOP'S FILE.

YOU SET HER UP.

I'D HARDLY CALL MARTIN BISHOP
AN ALLY.

I SOLVED TWO PROBLEMS
WITH ONE ANSWER.

YOU MANIPULATED NADIA.

I GAVE YOUR SISTER CLOSURE.

BUT NOT THE TRUTH.

SOMETIMES A SATISFYING LIE,
SYDNEY,

CAN DO MORE GOOD
THAN THE AWFUL TRUTH.
