Alias (2001–2006): Season 4, Episode 5 - Welcome to Liberty Village - full transcript

[ CHATTERING IN RUSSIAN ]

[ SPEAKING RUSSIAN ]

[ SAFE BEEPS ]

HONEY, YOU'RE LATE.

I WAS GETTING WORRIED.

I'M SORRY, BEAUTIFUL.
I GOT HUNG UP AT WORK.

IT DOESN'T MAKE ANY SENSE.

WHAT IS SO HARD TO UNDERSTAND?
TAKE A BALL, RIGHT?

YOU ROLL IT.
YOU KNOCK OVER SOME PINS,

AND THEN EVERYBODY
CHEERS FOR YOU.

OR IN YOUR CASE,
EVERYONE LAUGHS.
THAT'S TRUE.



HOW IS THAT FUN?
HOW COULD SHE EVEN ASK
SUCH A THING?

I THINK I KNOW
WHAT YOUR PROBLEM IS.

YOU'VE NEVER HAD
A TRUE BOWLING EXPERIENCE.

WE HAVE BOWLING
IN ARGENTINA, YOU KNOW?

YES, BUT YOU DON'T HAVE
LIKE GLOW-IN-THE-DARK PINS.

YOU DON'T HAVE ALL-YOU-
CAN-EAT HOT DOGS AFTER 10:00

OR BAD DISCO MUSIC
PUMPING THROUGH THE STEREO.

YOU KNOW WHAT? WHY AM I STILL
TALKING ABOUT THIS?

LET'S JUST DO IT.

WE'RE GOING BOWLING.
COME ON.

REALLY?

YEAH, YEAH. COME ON.
WE'RE ALL GOING BOWLING.

NOW?
YEAH. THERE'S A 24-HOUR
BOWLING ALLEY.

THAT'S NOT THE POINT.
WE HAVE WORK TOMORROW.



GUYS, YOU DON'T HAVE
TO ANALYZE EVERYTHING YOU DO.

YOU CAN JUST DECIDE
TO HAVE FUN. IT'S OKAY.

WE'RE FUN.

YEAH. YOU GUYS ARE ABOUT
AS SPONTANEOUS

AS MY GRANDPARENTS --
AND THEY'RE DEAD.

LOOK,
IT'S WEDNESDAY NIGHT.

WE'RE NOT GOING BOWLING.
ALL RIGHT, WELL,
SUIT YOURSELF.

BIG KIDS ARE GOING OUT.

HOW CAN I RESIST ALL-YOU-
CAN-EAT HOT DOGS AFTER 10:00?

DON'T WAIT UP.

LET'S GO.

WE DON'T ANALYZE
EVERYTHING WE DO.

DO WE?

NO, NO, WE DON'T.

AND BESIDES, WE AGREED
TO TAKE THINGS SLOW.

RIGHT.

WE'RE CHOOSING
NOT TO BE SPONTANEOUS.

EXACTLY.

[ CELL PHONE RINGS ]

[ SECOND CELL PHONE RINGS ]

AND THAT'S WHY THEY CALL US
WHEN SOMETHING'S WRONG.

RIGHT.

VAUGHN.
YEAH?

SIX HOURS AGO,
AN ELECTROMAGNETIC WEAPON

WAS STOLEN FROM A WAREHOUSE
IN KOSTROMA.

Marshall: NOW THIS THING
IS A PROTOTYPE.

REALLY BAD NEWS.

REPEATABLE CORE,
AMPLIFIED RADIUS.

AND YOU GUYS KNOW WHAT
ELECTROMAGNETIC PULSE

DOES, RIGHT?

DESTROYS ELECTRONIC
EQUIPMENT, MELTS CIRCUITRY.

RIGHT. NOW, IF THIS BABY
GOES OFF,

ANYTHING WITHIN
A 10-MILE RADIUS

THAT CONTAINS ELECTRONIC
PARTS, LIKE COMPUTERS,

RADIOS, CARS, RADAR --
EVERYTHING WILL BE FRIED.

IF A TERRORIST WERE
TO DETONATE THIS

IN A MAJOR METROPOLITAN
CITY,

THE CASUALTIES
WOULD BE EXTREME.

HOSPITALS WOULD LOSE POWER.

TRAFFIC GRIDS
WOULD BE DESTROYED.

AIRPLANES FALL FROM THE SKY.
I MEAN, IT'S REALLY --

OH, AND THE MOST IMPRESSIVE
THING ABOUT THIS

PARTICULAR DEVICE
IS ITS REPEATABLE CORE.

YOU COULD BLACK OUT
LOS ANGELES

AND THEN USE IT TO TAKE DOWN
SAN FRANCISCO IN THE SAME DAY.

WHO'S THE THIEF?

HIS NAME IS YURI KURELKO,
FORMER KGB OFFICER

CURRENTLY REPORTED
TO HAVE TIES

WITH AN EXTREMIST GROUP KNOWN
AS THE OCTOBER CONTINGENT.

THE RUSSIAN
ULTRANATIONALISTS.

THAT'S RIGHT.
LARGELY EX-MILITARY.

BUT THEY'RE LOOKING
FOR NEW RECRUITS.

THREE DAYS AGO,
GERMAN AUTHORITIES

PICKED UP A MAN AND A WOMAN

ATTEMPTING TO SMUGGLE WEAPONS
THROUGH A CUSTOMS CHECKPOINT.

SUBSEQUENT INTERROGATION
REVEALED THEM TO BE

DIMITRY AND ILYANA TABAKOV,

SUSPECTED
CHECHNYAN MERCENARIES.

UNDER DURESS THEY DISCLOSED
THE OCTOBER CONTINGENT

HAS MADE BACK CHANNEL
OVERTURES TOWARD THEM

TO JOIN THEIR GROUP.

SYDNEY AND VAUGHN,
YOU WILL IMPERSONATE

THE TABAKOVS,
INFILTRATE THE CONTINGENT.

YOUR MISSION IS TWOFOLD.

YOU WILL IDENTIFY
THE GROUP'S OBJECTIVE

AND RETRIEVE
THE ELECTROMAGNETIC WEAPON.

SYDNEY, VAUGHN, YOU KNOW
ANY ATTEMPT TO COMMUNICATE

WITH YOU ON OUR END
MIGHT JEOPARDIZE YOUR LIVES.

SO WE'RE ON OUR OWN.

NOT QUITE. MARSHALL.

YES. UH...

WHAT I HAVE HERE IS

A NORMAL,
EVERYDAY WRISTWATCH.

NOW, UNDER NORMAL USES,
IT WON'T ALARM

ANY COUNTERSURVEILLANCE SCANS,
BUT ONCE ACTIVATED,

IT WILL GIVE US
THE GPS COORDINATES

TO TRIANGULATE
YOUR POSITION.

OH, AND IT IS ALSO CAPABLE
OF SHORT-BURST TRANSMISSIONS.

YOU CAN SEND IMAGES.

AND WE'LL MONITOR YOU
AS BEST WE CAN.

AND IF WE DETECT
THAT YOUR COVER IS IN JEOPARDY,

WE'LL SEND THE ABORT SIGNAL.

I WANT YOU TO EXTRICATE
YOURSELVES IMMEDIATELY.

YOUR PLANE LEAVES IN AN HOUR.
I WISH YOU WELL.

GOOD LUCK.

[ Russian accent ]
WE ARE ABLE TO GET BY, YEAH.

[ No accent ] WHAT WOULD YOU
LIKE ME TO SAY?

[ American accent ]
I THINK THAT'LL DO JUST FINE.

I GOTTA TELL YOU,
IF YOU TWO

ARE HALF
AS GOOD AS RUMORED,

WE'RE REALLY IN FOR A TREAT.

COME ON. HOP ON IN.
LET'S GET YOU OUT OF THE RAIN.

MY NAME'S TOM, BY THE WAY.

NRO RETASKED A KEYHOLE SATELLITE
FOR INFRARED FLYOVER,

PICKED THEM UP ON THE M8

SHORTLY AFTER
SYDNEY BEGAN TRANSMITTING.

DESTINATION?

WELL, THE NEAREST CITY
IN THAT AREA IS...

PETROZAVODSK.

IT'S ABOUT 12 HOURS AWAY.

WHAT ELSE IS IN THE AREA?
NOTHING, REALLY.

FARMLAND, TUNDRA, TURNIPS.

LET ME KNOW THE MOMENT
THAT VAN STOPS MOVING.

YOU GOT IT, BOSS.

THIS IS NICK. HE'S GONNA
TAKE SOME PHOTOS OF YOU

FOR OUR PROJECT.
AND THIS PROJECT INVOLVES
US SPEAKING ENGLISH

LIKE AMERICANS
FOR SOME REASON?

WELL,
FIRST ORDER OF BUSINESS,

WE NEED TO ESTABLISH
SOME NEW IDENTITIES

FOR YOU TWO,
AND SOMETHING TELLS ME

THAT DAVID AND KAREN PARKER

DON'T EXACTLY SPEND
A LOT OF TIME

SPEAKING
IN THE RUSSIAN TONGUE.

DON'T WORRY.
WE'LL GO OVER EVERYTHING

WHEN WE GET
TO LIBERTY VILLAGE.

IN THE MEANTIME, JUST SIT BACK
AND ENJOY THE RIDE.

YOU JUST BECAME AMERICANS.

I WANT TO KNOW MORE
ABOUT THIS GROUP

THAT SYDNEY AND VAUGHN
HAVE INFILTRATED.

SO, JACK, I'M RECOMMENDING
THAT YOU REACH OUT

ALEXEI VASSILYVICH.

ANY OBJECTIONS?

HE'LL WANT SOMETHING
IN RETURN.

YEAH.

LOOK, JACK, I CAN TASK
ANOTHER AGENT

IF YOU FEEL
THIS IS SOMETHING --

I SIMPLY QUESTIONED
WHETHER IT'S PRUDENT

TO INVOLVE HIM
AT THIS POINT CONSIDERING --

[ CELL PHONE RINGS ]

YES, MARSHALL?

UH, MR. SLOANE, YOU'RE GONNA
WANT TO COME SEE THIS.

OKAY.

I THINK I FOUND
SOMETHING.

ABOUT AN HOUR AGO,
THE VAN LEFT THE HIGHWAY.

THEY FOLLOWED ACCESS ROADS
TO THIS FACILITY --

SUBEROV 13.

IT'S SUPPOSED TO HAVE BEEN
ABANDONED IN THE LATE '70s.

PERIMETER CONTROLS,
MANNED GUN EMPLACEMENTS

ALONG THE ACCESS ROADS,
ACTIVE AIRFIELDS.

IT CERTAINLY DOESN'T
LOOK DESERTED.

MARSHALL, CAN YOU PUT THAT
ON THE SCREEN?

YEAH. LET ME JUST...

THERE IT IS.

IS THAT MILITARY HOUSING?

NOT LIKE ANY I'VE SEEN.

RUSSIAN BASE HOUSING
RESEMBLE BARRACKS.

THOSE ARE SINGLE-FAMILY HOMES
WITH LAWNS AND CUL-DE-SACS.

IS THAT A SWING SET?
LOOKS LIKE MY NEIGHBORHOOD.

[ DOOR SLAMS ]

HOPE YOU GUYS LIKE
YOUR NEW HOUSE.

I LOVE MINE.

IT'S ALMOST EXACTLY
THE SAME.

I JUST HOPE THE GUESTS
HAVEN'T TRASHED THE PLACE.

WE HAVE GUESTS?

THIS SHOULDN'T BE
TOO LONG.

WE JUST HAVE TO DO A,
WELL,

AN INITIATION OF SORTS.

DON'T WORRY. SHOULDN'T BE
TOO PAINFUL.

EVERYONE, GUYS,

ALLOW ME TO PRESENT
DAVID AND KAREN PARKER.

HEY, WELCOME, GUYS.

GLAD YOU'RE HERE.
NICE TO MEET YOU.

HI.
HELLO.

WELCOME
TO THE NEIGHBORHOOD.

THANK YOU.

THE TOWN'S OFFICIALLY KNOWN
AS TRAINING SECTOR 56B,

BUT STUDENTS STARTED
CALLING IT LIBERTY VILLAGE

SOMETIME DURING
THE MID '80s.

TRYING TO CAPTURE THAT
AMERICAN SENSE OF IRONY,

I SUPPOSE.

SO THIS IS A GOVERNMENT
OPERATION?

IT WAS A GOVERNMENT
OPERATION, KAREN,

BUT IT'S A PRIVATE
ENTERPRISE NOW,

WHICH IS FINE WITH US,
BECAUSE IT GIVES US

THE FREEDOM TO DO OUR JOB.

WHAT EXACTLY
IS OUR JOB, TOM?

WELL, RIGHT NOW YOUR JOB

IS TO PROVE
THAT YOU BELONG.

YOU'RE UNDER EVALUATION.

WE NEED TO BE SURE
THAT YOU CAN PORTRAY

AMERICANS CONVINCINGLY.
FROM THIS POINT ON,

ASSUME THAT EVERYTHING
IS A TEST, YOU UNDERSTAND?

EXCELLENT.

NOW LET'S GO DO
SOME FORMAL INTRODUCTIONS

SO YOU CAN GET TO KNOW
YOUR NEW NEIGHBORS.

[ WATCH BEEPS ]

THEY'RE TRANSMITTING.

IT IS SO NICE
TO FINALLY MEET YOU.

THANK YOU.
WE'VE BEEN LOOKING FORWARD
TO THIS FOR QUITE SOME TIME.

BELIEVE ME,
WE HAVE BEEN, TOO.

MARSHALL.

WORKING ON IT.

HOLD ON.

WAIT A SEC.

COME ON.

GOT IT.

SERGEI DANISLOV
AND ELENA VASYA.

WEAPONS, DRUGS.

SUSPECTED TERRORIST
AFFILIATIONS

INCLUDE THE NOVGOROD
AUTHORITY --

THEY'RE RESPONSIBLE FOR
THE GROZNY BOMBING IN '98.

THEY KILLED 47 PEOPLE.

I WENT AHEAD AND DID
A LITTLE SHOPPING FOR YOU.

YOU HAVE A BUNCH OF CLOTHES
IN YOUR CLOSET UPSTAIRS

YOU NEED TO GO THROUGH.
HONEY, PLEASE,

THERE'LL BE PLENTY OF TIME
TO TALK ABOUT SHOPPING LATER.

AND THIS IS BILL
AND DONNA JOHNSON.

THEY LIVE IN THE HOUSE
JUST NEXT TO YOU.
HI THERE.

Both: HI.

ANATOLI AND TATIANA SEDOVA.

FORMER GRU. THEY'RE WANTED
BY BRITISH AUTHORITIES

IN CONNECTION WITH A BANK
ROBBERY THAT LEFT SEVEN DEAD.

AND OF COURSE,
KEN AND LINDA TAYLOR.

LINDA. HI.

RAISA TUPOKOV
AND NIKOLAI BREKEV.

CONTRACT KILLERS,
RUSSIAN MAFIA TIES,

KNOWN MURDERS
IN THE DOUBLE DIGITS.

WE JUST MOVED IN
A FEW DAYS AGO.

YOU ARE GOING
TO LOVE IT HERE.

THAT'S GOOD TO HEAR.
GREAT.

AND OF COURSE...

MY LOVELY WIFE DIANNE.
HELLO.

HI.
NICE TO MEET YOU.

NICE TO MEET YOU.
Vaughn: NICE TO MEET YOU.

MARINA AVDIN,
FORMER CHIEF INTERROGATOR

AT THE MARKOVA
DETENTION CENTER.

I WAS JUST LOOKING
AT YOUR PHOTO.

TOM AND I JUST ADORE ROME.
HOW LONG AGO WERE YOU THERE?

OH, WHAT WAS IT,
FIVE YEARS AGO?
HAS IT BEEN THAT LONG?

YEAH. WE WERE GOING TO GO
FOR THE MILLENNIUM,

BUT WE DIDN'T WANT TO FLY
BECAUSE OF Y2K.

AT THE TIME,
IT WAS A BIG DEAL.

SO WE DECIDED TO GO
IN THE SPRING.

LOVED IT. NO CROWDS,
NO TOURISTS.

WE EVEN GOT TO HEAR
THE POPE SPEAK.

YEAH, YEAH,
THAT WAS PRETTY GOOD.

YEAH. I LIKED THE PART
ABOUT Y2K.

YOU CAN DO A LOT
BETTER, THOUGH.
OH, WITHOUT A DOUBT.

BUT DON'T WORRY. WE'RE NOT
GONNA KILL YOU OVER A BAD STORY.

NOT ON THE FIRST NIGHT,
ANYWAY.

[ LAUGHTER ]

WHAT'S THE CONNECTION?

WHY IS THE CONTINGENT
ASSOCIATING

WITH TERRORISTS, THIEVES,
CONTRACT KILLERS?

MORE IMPORTANTLY,
WHY ARE THEY ALL DRESSED UP

LIKE THE CLEAVERS?

THEY MUST BE USING THE FACILITY
AS A TRAINING GROUND

FOR SOME IMPENDING
OPERATION.

IT IS UNLIKELY
A TERRORIST GROUP

COULD GAIN UNLIMITED ACCESS
TO A RUSSIAN MILITARY BASE

WITHOUT SOME KIND
OF STATE SPONSORSHIP.

JACK, TALK TO ALEXEI.

I'LL LEAVE THE NEGOTIATIONS
TO YOUR DISCRETION.

DO WE HOLD OFF
ON THE ABORT CODE?

FOR NOW. BUT BE READY.

THIS SITUATION COULD
DETERIORATE RAPIDLY.

THIS IS MY 3-LAYER
CASSEROLE.

OH, THANK YOU.

JUST ENJOY. WE'LL LATER
GO OVER THE RECIPE.

AHEM.

WE'LL GO OVER
THE RECIPE LATER.

I CAN'T WAIT.

GOOD NIGHT, GUYS.

GOOD NIGHT.
GOOD NIGHT.

TAKE CARE, ALL, ALL RIGHT?

GOOD NIGHT. THANK YOU.
DRIVE SAFELY.

SO...IT'S A LOT
TO TAKE IN, ISN'T IT?

IT'S DIFFERENT
FROM OUR USUAL JOBS.

NOT TO WORRY. YOU GUYS
ARE DOING GREAT.

JUST A COUPLE THINGS
TO KEEP IN MIND.

WE RECRUITED YOU
BECAUSE YOU'RE A COUPLE.

EMBRACE IT.

AMERICANS LOVE TO SHOW
AFFECTION FOR EACH OTHER.

YOU TWO --
YOU SEEM A LITTLE COLD.

WE'RE NOT COLD.

I KNOW, I KNOW. FIRST NIGHT'S
A COMMON PROBLEM.

DON'T SWEAT IT.
OH, AND JUST ONE MORE THING.

WE HAVE A LITTLE HOMEWORK
FOR YOU.

YOU WANT US TO EAT
THIS PIE?

IT'S A LITTLE WELCOME GIFT.

OPEN IT UP.

ARE YOU FAMILIAR WITH
THE NEW TOKOREV?

GET FAMILIAR.

YOU'LL NEED IT TOMORROW.

MAKE SURE YOU CAN ASSEMBLE IT
IN UNDER 20 SECONDS.

AND DON'T FORGET TO PUT
TAMMY'S CASSEROLE

IN THE FRIDGE.

THAT THIRD LAYER'S TUNA.

ALL RIGHT, WELL,
WE'LL SEE YOU TOMORROW.

SLEEP WELL.

GOOD NIGHT.
GOOD NIGHT.

BYE-BYE NOW.

BYE.

HUH.

YEAH.

WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON?

YEAH, IT'S LIKE
A WEIRD NIGHTMARE.
THAT WE'RE TRAPPED IN.

DID YOU SEE THE SECURITY
WHEN WE ARRIVED?

IT'S LIKE AN ENTIRE
MILITARY DIVISION.

WHY WOULD THEY GO
TO THIS MUCH TROUBLE?

THEY MUST BE PLANNING
AN ATTACK.
ON WHAT, SUBURBIA?

MAYBE SOME SORT
OF LONG-TERM INFILTRATION.

WHY STEAL THE E.M.P.
IF IT'S LONG-TERM?

WHY TRAIN OPERATIVES TO BE
AMERICAN IF IT'S SHORT-TERM?

I'M NOT SAYING IT'S LOGICAL.
THEY ASKED US TO PLAY CHARADES.

THAT'S AN ACT.
THEY'RE WELL ORGANIZED,

THEY'RE PROFESSIONAL.
IT'S PART OF THEIR TEST.

WHICH APPARENTLY
WE'RE FAILING.

OH, COME ON,
THAT WAS RIDICULOUS.
WHAT DID THEY EXPECT US TO DO,

JUST DROP AND GO
AT IT ON THE FLOOR?

IF ONE MORE PERSON
CALLS US BORING --

HE DIDN'T CALL US BORING.
HE CALLED US COLD.

WHO THINKS WE'RE BORING?

NOBODY.
THAT'S NOT THE POINT.

HOW DO WE PROCEED?

WE HAVE TO ASSUME THEY'RE
TRACKING OUR EVERY MOVE.

WE MAINTAIN COVER.

YEAH, SO JUST ACT LIKE
WE HAVE NOTHING TO HIDE.

I'LL DO SOME RECONNAISSANCE,

SEE IF I CAN LOCATE
THE E.M.P.

OKAY, IN THE MEANTIME, ONE OF US
SHOULD START ON OUR HOMEWORK.

[ TECHNO MUSIC PLAYING ]

[ WATCH BEEPS ]

CAN I HELP YOU
WITH SOMETHING?

YOU SCARED ME.

I THOUGHT YOU MIGHT
STILL BE UP.

I, UM, I WANTED
TO THANK DIANNE

FOR THAT BATH SALT KIT
SHE LEFT US.

THAT WAS REALLY NICE.

HOW'D YOU KNOW THIS WAS
OUR HOUSE?

YOUR NAME'S ON THE MAILBOX.

WHAT ARE YOU,
OUT FOR A JOG?

I NEEDED TO CLEAR
MY HEAD.

GOOD CHANCE TO DO
SOME RECONNAISSANCE AS WELL,

I'D IMAGINE.

SO WHAT'S YOUR ASSESSMENT
OF OUR LITTLE TOWN?

STRONG MILITARY PERIMETER.

ARMED GUARDS,
ROTATING PATROL.

NOT A LOT OF PEOPLE
GETTING IN -- OR OUT --

IF YOU DON'T WANT THEM TO.

LACK OF OBVIOUS SECURITY
PRESENCE WITHIN THE TOWN ITSELF

SUGGESTS HEAVY SURVEILLANCE.

SECURITY CAMERAS
IN ALL THE STREET LIGHTS.

IN THIS IMMEDIATE AREA,
JUDGING FROM THE POWER LINES,

ONE OF THOSE HOUSES
IS PROBABLY A GUARD STATION.

YEAH.

FIRST SIGN OF TROUBLE,
WE SOUND THE ALARM,

LOCK DOWN THE STREETS,
GIVE THE SNIPERS THE GO-AHEAD

TO FIRE AT HOSTILES.

IT'S OUR VERSION OF
THE NEIGHBORHOOD WATCH PROGRAM.

HELPS EVERYONE SLEEP WELL
AT NIGHT.

ANYWAY...

DON'T STAY UP TOO LATE,
OKAY?

GOT A BIG DAY TOMORROW.

HA.

OH!

UM, I'LL BE SURE AND TELL
DIANNE ABOUT THE BATH SALTS.

THANK YOU, TOM.

YOU'RE WELCOME, KAREN.

GOOD NIGHT.

GOOD NIGHT.

HOW WAS YOUR RUN?

GREAT.
I RAN INTO TOM.

I DON'T REALLY
SLEEP WELL AT NIGHT.

WELL, THAT'S A RELIEF.

Sydney:
HOW'S IT GOING HERE?

Vaughn: GOOD.

DA.

[ THUNDER RUMBLING ]

HELLO, JACK.

ALEXEI.

WHAT CAN I DO FOR YOU?

THERE'S A MILITARY FACILITY

300 MILES SOUTHEAST
OF PETROZAVODSK.

I ASSUME
YOU'RE FAMILIAR WITH IT.

WE TRAIN SOME OF OUR BEST
OPERATIVES THERE.

I NEED TO KNOW
IF THE GOVERNMENT

IS STILL RUNNING ACTIVE
OPERATIONS OUT OF IT.

WELL, IT DEPENDS
HOW YOU DEFINE GOVERNMENT,

I SUPPOSE.

I HAVE ASSETS IN PLAY
WITHIN THE FACILITY.

WE MAY REQUIRE ASSISTANCE
WITH THEIR EXTRACTION.

THIS IS NOT SOME FRINGE GROUP
WE'RE TALKING ABOUT, JACK.

THE PEOPLE WHO CONTROL
THAT BASE

MAY NOT HAVE
OFFICIAL SANCTION,

BUT THERE ARE MANY IN POWER

WHO LOOK UPON THEIR ACTIONS
FAVORABLY.

YOU WOULD HAVE MY GRATITUDE
FOR ANY ASSISTANCE RENDERED.

WHILE THAT HAS WARMED
MY HEART,

I'M AFRAID THE REWARD
DOES NOT OUTWEIGH THE RISK.

WHAT DO YOU WANT, ALEXEI?

WELL,

NOW THAT YOU MENTION IT,

PERHAPS THERE IS SOMETHING
YOU CAN DO FOR ME.

GOOD MORNING, TOM.

MORNING, CHERYL.

[ DOG BARKING ]

RISE AND SHINE.
GOT OURSELVES A BIG DAY.

KAREN.
HI, TOM.

AREN'T YOU JUST THE PICTURE
OF RADIANT?

GOOD MORNING. OH,
HOW'D YOU SLEEP, DAVE?

AH, LIKE A BABY.
HEY, LOOK AT THAT.
WE'RE WEARING THE SAME SHIRT.

YOU'D BE AMAZED HOW OFTEN
THAT HAPPENS HERE.

GUESS WE'LL BE TWINS TODAY.
SHALL WE HEAD OUT?

SHOULD I BRING THE GUN?
NAH, YOU'LL BE
PROVIDED WITH ONE.

WE HAVE A WORKING GAS STATION,
MOVIE THEATER.

HI, TOM.

HEY. SUPERMARKETS,
BOWLING ALLEY.

WHY WOULD THE GOVERNMENT
NEED A BOWLING --

TOO MANY AGENTS WERE
GETTING BURNED IN THE '50s.

SOVIETS COULDN'T GRASP
THE CULTURE,

SO THEY IMMERSED THEMSELVES
IN IT.

FOUND OUT THERE'S NO
SUBSTITUTE FOR THE REAL THING.

OH, HEY, THAT REMINDS ME.

I, UH, HAVE ANOTHER
LITTLE GIFT.

IF YOU TWO ARE GONNA BE
A COUPLE,

YOU MAY AS WELL BE
DRESSING THE PART.

I JUST FIGURED THAT MIGHT
HELP WITH YOUR...

YOU KNOW,
INTIMACY ISSUES.

OH. MR. BRISTOW,
YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE.

IRINA DEREVKO COLLECTED
19th CENTURY LITERATURE.

THERE WAS A SMALL BOOKSTORE
IN PRAGUE

THAT STOCKED
RARE FIRST EDITIONS.

WHENEVER I WAS IN TOWN,
I'D BUY ONE FOR HER AS A GIFT.

OH. THAT'S SWEET.

THE KGB ENCODED ASSASSINATION
ORDERS IN THESE PAGES.

OH. WELL, THAT'S...
NOT AS SWEET.

THE NSA DECIPHERED
ALL THE CODES IN THESE BOOKS,

BUT IRINA'S FORMER
RESIDENT CHIEF

JUST ASKED FOR THEM BACK,
WHICH MEANS

THERE'S SOMETHING IN HERE
THE NSA OVERLOOKED.

FIND IT.

IT'S NOT A NOVEL CONCEPT.

TRUST ME, SOMEWHERE
IN AMERICA,

CIA AGENTS ARE SITTING AROUND
IN A FAKE PEROSKOVIA

PRACTICING THEIR RUSSIAN
TABLE MANNERS.

YOU BUILT
A USED CAR DEALERSHIP?

TRAINING STATION 327-F,
HOME OF THE KRILOV SCENARIO.

YOUR OBJECTIVE IS SIMPLE.
YOU HAVE TO BUY A CONVERTIBLE.

WHAT?
YOU'LL BE EVALUATED
ON CHARACTERIZATION,

REFLEX ANALYSIS,
EMOTIONAL RESPONSE,

AND PHYSICAL ENDURANCE.

PHYSICAL ENDURANCE?

WELCOME TO LIBERTY VILLAGE
AUTOMOTIVE.

GOOD LUCK.

YOU FOLKS MUST HAVE HEARD

ABOUT OUR DEMOCRACY SALE.

WE'VE GOT 0% FINANCING
FOR 72 MONTHS

AND A MIND-BLOWING SELECTION
OF PRE-OWNED STEPSIDES.

UH, WELL, ACTUALLY, PHIL,

WE'RE HERE TO BUY
A CONVERTIBLE.

YOU SURE ABOUT THAT?

BECAUSE WE ONLY HAVE
ONE CONVERTIBLE,

AND IT'S A PRETTY FAST CAR.

THAT'S HOW WE LIVE,
PHIL -- FAST.

OKAY.

FEW THINGS SCREAM FREEDOM
LIKE A BRAND-NEW CONVERTIBLE.

YOU PUT THE TOP DOWN,

AND EXCITEMENT
BLOWS THROUGH YOUR HAIR.

WHAT'S IT GONNA TAKE
TO GET US OVER THE CURB

IN THIS BABY, PHIL?

YOU GUYS ARE FIRST-TIME
BUYERS, AREN'T YOU?

IS IT THAT OBVIOUS?

WELL, YOU DON'T GET TO BE
REGIONAL SALES ASSOCIATE

OF THE MONTH
FOUR TIMES IN A ROW

WITHOUT KNOWING
HOW TO READ PEOPLE.

NEWLYWEDS, RIGHT?

RELATIVE NEWLYWEDS.

LET'S SEE THAT RING.

[ WHISTLES ]

HOW'D HE POP THE QUESTION?

HE...TOOK ME TO --

SANTA BARBARA, ACTUALLY.

I HAD THIS WHOLE
ROMANTIC WEEKEND PLANNED.

PRESIDENTIAL SUITE
AT THE BILTMORE.

CANDLELIT DINNER ON THE CLIFFS
OVERLOOKING THE OCEAN.

SO WE WENT INTO TOWN,

AND SHE WOULDN'T STOP
TALKING ABOUT THE ZOO.

SO WE WENT TO THE ZOO.

FIGURED I'D GET IT
OVER WITH.

AND THEN I SAW
HOW HAPPY IT MADE HER.

IT MADE ME FORGET ABOUT
ALL MY STUPID PLANS.

AND HERE WE HAD
A PERSONAL CHEF

MAKING THIS UNBELIEVABLE
MEAL AT THE HOTEL,

BUT...

I PROPOSED ON ONE KNEE
IN SAWDUST

IN FRONT OF A GIRAFFE
WITH A CROOKED NECK.

[ LAUGHS ]

NOW HOW CAN I RESIST
THE CHARMS OF YOUNG LOVE?

TELL YOU WHAT.

LET'S SIT DOWN,
AND WE'LL TALK DEAL.

[ MUZAK PLAYING ]

WHAT?

GOOD NEWS, GUYS.

I HAD TO BUTT HEADS
WITH MY SALES MANAGER,

BUT IT TURNS OUT I AM GONNA BE

ABLE TO OFFER YOU
THE NEWLYWED RATE.

THERE'S JUST
ONE SMALL PROBLEM.

ANOTHER COUPLE IS INTERESTED
IN THE CAR.

YOU GUYS KNOW KEN AND LINDA,
RIGHT?

WE MET THEM LAST NIGHT.

WELL, THEY ARRIVED
IN LIBERTY VILLAGE

A FEW DAYS BEFORE YOU DID,

AND THEY'RE UNDER EVALUATION
AS WELL.

WE'RE ONLY GONNA LET
ONE COUPLE

JOIN OUR FAMILY HERE.

AND THIS BEING AMERICA,

WE THOUGHT
WE'D DECIDE THINGS

WITH A GOOD OLD-FASHIONED...

COMPETITION.

THE WINNING COUPLE
GETS TO MOVE ON IN OUR PROGRAM.

OH, AND A BRAND-NEW
CONVERTIBLE.

WHILE THE LOSING COUPLE...

WELL, DIES.

NOW, I SHOULD PROBABLY
GET ON OUT OF THE WAY

BEFORE I GET MYSELF SHOT.

OH, AND IT LOOKS LIKE
LLOYD GAVE THEM

A BIT OF A HEAD START.

SORRY ABOUT THAT.
GOOD LUCK TO YOU GUYS.

[ COCKS GUN ]

GET DOWN!

[ ENGINE STARTS ]

COME ON!

[ SHOWER RUNNING ]
IT'S DEAD.

WELL, PROTOCOL DICTATES
WE CONTACT A.P.O,

LET THEM KNOW
WHAT'S GOING ON.

WE MIGHT HAVE ACCESS
TO COMMUNICATIONS

NOW THAT WE'VE JOINED
THE LIBERTY VILLAGE FAMILY.

THEY TRIED TO KILL US OVER
A CAR. I MEAN, IF WE STAY,

THEY MIGHT SEND US
TO THE SUPERMARKET

AND LAUNCH GRENADES AT US.

WELL, WE CAN'T JUST LEAVE.
THIS PLACE IS LIKE A PRISON.

OUR BEST BET IS STILL
TO MAINTAIN COVER.

YEAH, WELL, NEXT TIME
WE GO ON ONE OF HIS TESTS,

I'M BRINGING OUR GUN.
I DON'T CARE WHAT HE SAYS.

VAUGHN, COME HERE.

IS IT BAD?

YOU'VE LOOKED BETTER.

THE STORY YOU TOLD
AT THE DEALERSHIP --

WE WERE SUPPOSED TO GO
TO SANTA BARBARA

THREE YEARS AGO,

AND WE NEVER MADE IT.

KAREN AND DAVE DID.

WELL, I STARTED BY ELIMINATING
THE MORE OBVIOUS --

SEQUENCE BOOK CODES,
STEGANOGRAPHY,

INVISIBLE INK,
MAYBE THE WATERMARK.

BUT THEN I REALIZED

IT WAS RIGHT IN FRONT
OF MY FACE THE ENTIRE TIME.

THE INSCRIPTION.

TAKE A LOOK. RIGHT HERE.

AHEM.

"LAURA, ALL MY LOVE,
FOREVER AND A DAY...

JACK."

THAT'S REALLY SWEET.

I MEAN, THAT'S A SIDE OF YOU
I REALLY NEVER GET TO SEE,

MR. BRISTOW.

I HAVE TO --
I HAVE TO SAY, I LIKE IT.

I FAIL TO SEE THE RELEVANCE.

RIGHT. SORRY.
SO DID THE NSA.

ANYWAY, I RAN A CHROMATOGRAPHIC
ANALYSIS OF THE INK,

AND CHECK THIS OUT.

ONE OF THE PERIODS
IN THE ELLIPSES

CONTAINS INK
THAT WAS DIFFERENT

THAN THE INSCRIPTION
ITSELF.

IT WAS ADDED
AFTER YOU WROTE IT.

IRINA ENCODED IT
WITH A MICRODOT.

SO I MAGNIFIED IT
WITH A DIGITAL MICROSCOPE,

AND -- LOOK AT THIS --

IT'S A PROTOCOL IRINA USED

TO CONTACT
ONE OF HER OPERATIVES.

SOMEONE IMPORTANT,
GIVEN HOW DETAILED IT IS.

ANY IDEA WHO SHE WAS
COMMUNICATING WITH?

WELL...

ALL THAT'S THERE
IS A CODE NAME --

SENTINEL.

DO WE HAVE COPIES
OF EVERYTHING INSIDE?

WELL, YEAH, BUT YOU'RE
GIVING IT TO THE RUSSIANS?

SENTINEL'S
A DECEASED OPERATIVE.

IT'S A DEAD END.

THE RUSSIANS CAN HAVE IT.

OUR PRIORITIES
ARE SYDNEY AND VAUGHN.

GOOD.

YOU'RE AWAKE.

WE NEED TO GET YOU PACKED.
WE'RE GOING TO AMERICA.

THE AGREEMENT
WAS FOR ALL OF THE BOOKS.

THAT'S THE ONE
YOU'RE LOOKING FOR.

WE HAVEN'T HEARD FROM IRINA
IN QUITE SOME TIME.

SHE'S A DIFFICULT WOMAN
TO KEEP TRACK OF.

THAT SHE IS.

SHE ALWAYS SPOKE
QUITE FAVORABLY OF YOU.

HER ATTACHMENT MADE HER WORK

PROBLEMATIC AT TIMES.

I HOPE I DIDN'T CAUSE YOU
TOO MUCH INCONVENIENCE.

I HAVE AN AIRCRAFT WAITING
AT THE JEZNYEV AIRSTRIP.

A SUPPORT TEAM WILL PROVIDE
TRANSPORT FOR YOUR ASSETS

ONCE THEY HAVE LEFT
THE FACILITY'S PERIMETER.

GOODBYE, JACK.

ALEXEI.

1526 GLENBURY LANE.

3-BEDROOM, 2-BATH,
HARDWOOD FLOORS.

THEY'VE EVEN GOT
A BREAKFAST NOOK.

WHAT, ARE WE MOVING
TO CHICAGO?

YOU'RE CHICAGO,
THEY'RE ATLANTA.

DIANNE AND I ARE NEW YORK.

YOU HAVE A MEETING ON TUESDAY
WITH PIERCE FINANCIAL.

WE'VE PREPARED EXTENSIVE
BACKGROUNDS FOR YOU.

HUMAN RESOURCES
SHOULD FLIP OUT

OVER A YOUNG UPSTART
COUPLE LIKE YOURSELVES,

PROVIDED YOU ACE
THE INTERVIEW, OF COURSE.

WE'RE ATTACKING
AN INVESTMENT FIRM?

WE JUST NEED ACCESS
TO THEIR SERVERS.

AT SOME POINT
IN THE NEAR FUTURE,

AN UNFORTUNATE INCIDENT
IS GOING TO BEFALL

THE NEW YORK STOCK EXCHANGE.

IF WE HAVE ACCESS
TO THE SERVERS

OF AMERICA'S FINANCIAL
INSTITUTIONS DURING THAT TIME,

WE'LL BE IN PRIME POSITION

FOR A MASSIVE REDISTRIBUTION
OF WEALTH.

THINK OF IT AS, UM,
AGGRESSIVE MARXISM.

WHAT'S THE CASUALTY PROJECTION
FOR THIS UNFORTUNATE INCIDENT?

ARE THE GLADIATORS
OF LIBERTY VILLAGE AUTOMOTIVE

HAVING A SUDDEN CRISIS
OF CONSCIENCE?

CIVILIAN DEATHS
MEAN REPERCUSSIONS.

WE'LL NEED
AN EXIT STRATEGY.

THAT REMINDS ME.

WE SHOULD GO THROUGH
THE OP-TECH

IN CASE I HAVE TO REROUTE
YOU GUYS THROUGH NEW YORK.

WHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT
ELECTROMAGNETIC WEAPONS?

[ MONITOR BEEPING ]

MR. SLOANE,
THE TABAKOVS --

THE COUPLE THAT SYDNEY
AND VAUGHN ARE IMPERSONATING?

THE GERMANS JUST MOVED THEM.

TO A MAXIMUM SECURITY
PRISON IN HAVEL.

THE CONSULATE INFORMED ME
OF THE TRANSFER

A FEW MINUTES AGO.

THE CONSULATE INFORMED
EVERYBODY OF THE TRANSFER

A FEW MINUTES AGO.
THEY SENT THE ORDER

OVER AN UNSECURED LINE.
IF THE OCTOBER CONTINGENT

HAD THE TABAKOVS' NAMES
FLAGGED...

SEND THE ABORT CODE.

GET SYDNEY AND VAUGHN
OUT OF THERE NOW.

NOW, UNDERNEATH YOU GOT
A SECONDARY COMPARTMENT

WITH YOUR MEET PROTOCOL,
DOCUMENTS.

WE EVEN THREW IN
THE BACKGROUNDS

OF ALL YOUR NEW NEIGHBORS.

SHOULD HELP YOU MAKE
SMALL TALK AT BARBECUES.

DISENGAGE THE FAIL-SAFE,
LIFT THE COVER,

FLIP THE SWITCH.

YOU DON'T WEAR
A PACEMAKER, DO YOU?

[ CELL PHONE RINGS ]

I'M KIDDING.

HI, HONEY.

YEAH, YEAH. NO, THINGS
ARE RIGHT ON SCHEDULE.

MM-HMM.

YES. YES, NO, THEY'RE
VERY EXCITED

ABOUT THEIR BREAKFAST NOOK.

OKAY.

YES.

I'LL BE SURE
AND TELL THEM.

I LOVE YOU, TOO.

THAT WAS DIANNE.
SHE SAID TO PACK WARM.

CHICAGO'S COLD
THIS TIME OF YEAR.

SHE GETS A LITTLE OBSESSED
WHEN WE TRAVEL.

YOU WANT
SOME MORE COFFEE?

I'D LOVE SOME, THANKS.

HA HA. WATCH, I'M TELLING YOU,
IT'S AMAZING.

IT'S JUST LIKE CLOCKWORK.

AS SOON AS WE'LL BE
OUTSIDE OF VOLOGDA,

SHE'LL THINK THAT WE LEFT
THE STOVE ON.

SO WE HAD TO DO
OUR INITIAL EVALUATION

AT THE LIBERTY VILLAGE
FRIED CHICKEN.

I GOT BURN MARKS
ALL OVER MY BACK

FROM THE FRY MACHINE.

[ CELL PHONE RINGS ]

[ RING ]

[ HELICOPTER OVERHEAD,
SIRENS WAILING ]

THEY'RE ON TO US.

YEAH, I FIGURED
THAT PART OUT.

I DON'T KNOW
WHAT HAPPENED,

BUT WE GOT
TO GET OUT OF HERE.

SET IT OFF!
SET OFF THE E.M.P.!

[ CHARGING ]

MAYBE IT'S TIME WE MOVE
OUT OF THE SUBURBS.

RUSSIAN AUTHORITIES
OFFICIALLY DENY

AN AMERICAN TRAINING GROUND
EVER EXISTED

WITHIN THEIR BORDERS.

HOWEVER, OFF THE RECORD,
THEY HAVE EXPRESSED GRATITUDE

FOR OUR ASSISTANCE
IN THEIR TAKEDOWN

OF THE OCTOBER CONTINGENT.

WE'LL DEBRIEF IN DETAIL
UPON YOUR ARRIVAL.

BUT FOR NOW...
GOOD WORK.

THANK YOU.

SO, ALEXEI MADE GOOD
ON HIS PROMISE.

WHICH MEANS OUR SUSPICIONS
REGARDING SENTINEL ARE ACCURATE.

THE RUSSIANS ARE SEARCHING
FOR ELENA DEREVKO.

YEAH. WE WILL HAVE TO MOVE UP
OUR TIMETABLE.

IT'S STRANGE,

BUT I'M NOT EXACTLY EXCITED
ABOUT RETURNING TO AMERICA

FOR SOME REASON.

WELL, IT WAS KIND OF NICE

NOT TO HAVE TO BE US
FOR A WHILE.

WELL, I HAPPEN TO LIKE US,

EVEN IF WE ARE
A LITTLE COLD.

AND BORING.
DON'T FORGET BORING.

HOW COULD I?

YOU KNOW, WE HAVE
OPERATIONAL COMMAND

OF THIS AIRCRAFT.

THE PILOT COULD TAKE US
ANYWHERE WE WANT.

OUR ORDERS ARE TO PROCEED
WITH OUR EXTRACTION.

IF WE WERE TO DIVERT
THIS AIRCRAFT

FOR OUR PERSONAL USE,

WE WOULD GET INTO
A LOT OF TROUBLE.

YES.

YEAH.

YOU WANT TO HAVE DINNER
WITH ME IN PARIS?

ABSOLUTELY.
