23. The Enemy Walks In
gs: Derrick O'Connor (Alexander Khasinau) Greg Grunberg (Agent Eric Weiss) Pat
ricia Wettig (Dr. Judy Barnett) Clayton Landey (CIA Officer Wilcox) Stuart Yee
(The Tester)
Sydney recounts her most recent mission to a CIA psychiatrist: Tied to a chair
somewhere in Taipei, Khasinau introduces her to "The Man" ? who is actually h
er mother, Irina Derevko. Saying that she should have killed Sydney when she w
as born, Irina shoots her in the shoulder to make a point, then exits. Sydney,
however, escapes by smashing the chair against a water valve.
She rendezvous with Jack, who has rescued a badly beaten Will, and explains wh
at happened. She and Jack then reveal the truth about themselves and SD-6 to t
heir panicking friend.
Jack enacts a cover-up: He tells Sloane that he gave Sydney the "Freelancer" c
all sign because he didn't trust Sloane and that Will's kidnapping led them to
Khasinau, who's organization is now fractured. He pleges loyalty to Sloane an
d convinces him to spare Will's life. As a consequence, Dixon apologizes to Sy
dney for questioning her loyalty.
Sloane then sends Sydney to the French estate known as Le Petite Rose to plant
a phone bug in the office of Jean Luc Rave, a Khasinau cohort and member of t
he French National Assembly. Sydney gives Marshall's bug to Agent Weiss, who i
nserts a delayed transmitter that controls what SD-6 will hear.
Having parachuted onto the estate, Sydney finds an unconscious Vaughn about to
be butchered by Khasinau. She revives him with an adrenaline shot to the hear
t. He explains that he used a screwdriver to open a grate, which allowed him t
o escape the flooded room. When the psychiatrist questions her about Vaughn, s
he gets defensive
Meanwhile, Jack ensures Will's safety by drugging him and placing him at the s
cene of a drug bust. Under media scrutiny, Will claims his story about SD-6 is
a lie. His reputation is ruined, but his life is saved.
The CIA sends a team, including Sydney, to Barcelona, based on info gleaned fr
om the bug. The "Bible," an operations manual for the Khasinau/Irina cartel th
at had been in Taipei, is to be given to Khasinau on a Barcelona pier. SD-6 is
unaware. But in an ambush, Irina shoots Weiss and the players scatter. Sydney
trails Khasinau, who has the Bible, to a warehouse where they're confronted b
y Irina. Irina kills Khasinau and takes the Bible. Before leaving, she tells S
ydney, "Truth takes time."
Back home, Sydney tells Will that she's glad she doesn't have to lie to him an
y more and then leaves to eulogize Emily Sloane. At the CIA headquarters, Irin
a comes in from the cold and surrenders.

24. Trust Me
gs: Alex Morris (C.I.A) Terry O'Quinn (F.B.I. Special Officer Kendall) Wolf Mu

ain Christophe) Wendle Josepher (Vicki Crane) J.D. Hall (Judge Fried) Soren He
llerup (Peter Fordson) Krikor Satamian (Muhammad Naj)
Under the charge of Asst. Director Kendall, Irina is led in shackles to a cell
in a secret Operations Facility in LA. Jack conveys his doubts about her sinc
erity to Sydney, who herself wishes that her mother dies for all she's done. S
ydney also tells Vaughn that she's convinced Sloane killed Emily.
In London, Sloane, now a full partner in the Alliance, is given a mysterious i
njection. Later, Sloane admits to Sydney that the Alliance knows Khasinau is d
ead and believes Irina to be in hiding. He sends Sydney to retrieve a computer
disk containing compromising info that Irina used for blackmail purposes. The
disk is in a safe in a Rabat hotel room occupied by one Mohammed Naj. For her
countermission, she's to give the disk to Richard Schmidt, an undercover agen
t at the Rabat embassy, who will create a bogus copy for Sydney to return to S
D-6. Or, Vaughn says, you could ask your mother for the disk's contents. She r
efuses.
Vaughn, under pressure from Kendall, speaks to the uncooperative Irina. She be
nds when Vaughn mentions Sydney's mission to Rabat, saying that Sydney must fi
rst pull a fire alarm before opening the safe. Is it the truth or a trick? Vau
ghn quickly contacts Sydney, who, dressed as an Italian traveller, is about to
crack the safe. A suspcious Sydney refuses to pull the alarm but when she sna
tches the disk, an alarm sounds anyway. Syd escapes but can't transfer the dis
k to Schmidt.
Once back in LA, Sydney relents and agrees to see Irina, who says Sloane will
use the info on the disk to bribe Peter Fortson, the creator of the T-Wave Sat
ellite Camera, a super-sensitive spying device originally meant for use by the
Pentagon. She asks for Sydney's trust. Sydney maintains her composure but bre
aks down after she exits.
Syd and Vaughn travel to Fortson's Helsinki lab to retrieve the camera before
Sloane does. Dressed as a Eurobabe in a black wig, she narrowly avoids Sloane
and steals the camera. Shortly thereafter, Sloane shoots Fortson in the leg wh
en he discovers the camera is missing.
Back home, Will, who has been doing community service, offers to help Francie
set up her restaurant.
Sydney goes to Irina again and lays down guidelines for their interaction in o
rder to depersonalize their relationship. "You are not my mother," she says. I
rina acquiesces.

25. Cipher

acLachlan (Jane Banks) Patricia Wettig (Dr. Judy Barnett) Endre Hules (Mr. Vas
hko) Tom Kiesche (Agent Cooper) Keith Lewis (Agent Novak)
Sydney learns the T-Wave Camera she had stolen was a prototype, and that the A
siatic Space Agency and their client Sark will launch the real camera, which c
an see 100 meters through solid matter, into space in 72 hours from a site in
Sri Lanka. Her mission is to wire it so SD-6 can tap into the image.
At the CIA, Kendall wants Syd to talk to Irina because Sark has assumed contro
l of her organization, so she must know what he's looking for. Meanwhile, Jack
tells the CIA psychiatrist that he wants to keep Sydney away from Irina. She
notes that Jack refers to his ex-wife as Laura.
Irina tells Sydney that Sark is after a Rambaldi-designed music box. Encoded i
n the tune is a numerical equation for 0-Point Energy. Sydney rebuffs Irina's
attempts to talk about her childhood. Later, Jack warns Syd about Irina, but s
ays he trusts her judgement.
Marshall gives Sydney a hydraulic luge disguised as a suitcase. A grieving Slo
ane gives her something more personal: Emily's seed box. As part of her counte
r-mission, Vaughn gives her a circuitboard to attach to the camera and suggest
s bringing in Will, who's been stying with Syd and Francie, because he may rem
ember the code Sark was working on that activates the music box. When they do
meet, Will is surprised at Vaughn's youth and is jealous at how much he knows
about their lives.
In Sri Lanka, Sydney disguised in a red wig as a European business woman, appe
ars at the launch facility as Dixon breaks down the surveillance. She then don
s a worker's jumpsuit and luges through the exhaust ports to the launch deck.
A suspicious Sark speeds the launch. Syd barely completes wiring the circuitbo
ard and luges out at 125 mph. The camera locates the music box in the center o
f a Siberian ice cavern.
Under hypnosis, Will remembers the names on Sark's computer ? Dosteyevsky, Nab
akov, Tolstoy, Checkov. Vaughn notices Sydney's feelings for Will. Later, Irin
a decodes the names and warns Sydney about Sark's ruthlessness, saying she wan
ts the chance to explain herself.
Sloane receives a ghostly call from the Baranka B&B in Sonoma, CA ? where he a
n Emily were supposed to go before she died.
Jack confronts Irina, who says they had their good moments together. He threat
ens to kill her if Sydney is harmed. She asks cryptically, "You haven't told h
er what you did to her after I disappeared, have you?"
In Siberia, Sydney receives the code from Vaughn and plays the music box. She
records the tune and acts to disable the artifact. The SD-6 team is ambushed b
y Sark's men, however, and Sydney falls under the ice.

26. Dead Drop
gs: Terry O'Quinn (F.B.I. Special Officer Kendall) Patricia Wettig (Dr. Judy B
arnett) Jim Hanna (Claus Richter) Marisol Nichols (Rebecca Mart?nez) Daniel Fa
raldo (Manolo)
As Sydney struggles underwater, she takes the gun of a drowned henchman and fi
res through the ice. Dixon helps pull her through.
At the SD-6 offices, Sydney tells Sloane that although Sark got away with the
music box, it was corroded anyway. Sloane wonders why Rambaldi place the artif
act in ice. Later at the CIA, Kendall refuses Jack's wish to have Irina remove
d. When Sydney confronts Jack, he says he worries about the emotional aspects
of their dialogue and warns Sydney that she wants a mother.
Sloane tells Jack about the mysterious phone call from the B&B and has Dixon i
nvestigate. He also says that SD-6 retrieved the corroded music box from Sark'
s safe house in the Falkland Islands, where they also found a man named Klaus
Richter, who was seriously ill from a serum that Sark had administered. Jack i
nterrogates Richter and learns that he had designed a map to lead Irina to The
Bible, which he had hidden in a remote location. The map, we learn, is hidden
in a 1st edition of War and Peace in a Moscow military library.
To prevent Sydney from seeing Irina, Jack gives Sydney a fake map which will l
ead SD-6 to the Sunken Forest ? before she's given the SD-6 mission and the CI
A counter-mission. Sydney says all she wants out of Irina is enough info to br
ing down SD-6 and get her out of the spy game.
In rehab, Will meets Rebecca Martinez, a conspiracy theorist who presses will
to continue his expose of SD-6. Will refuses. Later she meets with Sloane; she
's SD-6, and was sent to test Will. Dixon then returns with the B&B registry ?
signed by Emily!
Irina tells Sydney how to get to the map in exchange for her earrings and expr
esses worry. Vaughn offers Sydney his unconditional support during this diffic
ult time. Meanwhile, an upset Jack tells the CIA psychiatrist that he's afraid
of losing his daughter.
Sydney appears in Moscow disguised as a military officer and, using an electro
nic skeleton key fashioned from a medal, she finds the book and retrieves the
map. Suddenly Sark appears and offers her a chance to work for him. Naturally,
Sydney declines and escapes Sark, only to become trapped in an office by Russ
ian guards. Sydney desperately calls Vaughn and has him enlist Irina to get he
r out. Irina alerts Sydney to a secret passage, which she uses to escape.
Later, Irina decodes the map, which reveals that The Bible is in a house in Ma
dagascar. Kendall sends Vaughn and Sydney, over Jack's objections. Jack privat
ely hatches a plan and has the building rigged with explosives. As Sydney and
Vaughn arrive, Sark's men overtake them and enter the building, which explodes
. As a result, Kendall has Irina taken to Camp Harris for unrestricted interro
gation. A heartbroken Sydney tells Jack that he was right about Irina and apol
ogizes for doubting him.

27. The Indicator
gs: Amy Aquino (Agent Virginia Kerr) James Lesure (Agent Craig Blair) Stephen
Markle (Senator Douglas) Vladimir Skomarovsky (Kholokov) Daniel Faraldo (Manol
o) Kevin West (SD-6 Agent Kelsey)
Sydney testifies before a CIA panel, claiming that Jack saved her from a trap
engineered by Irina. Finding Irina's earrings in her now-empty cell, Sydney th
anks Jack for saving her life.
In Vienna, SD-6's Austrian connection Neils Haber is murdered by Triad ? a coa
ltion of drug and flesh peddlers nove moving into weapon sales ? for selling i
ntel. He had said Triad was developing 16 "next generation" weapons hidden in
a bomb shelter under the Magistrate's Bureau in Budapest. Sydney's SD-6 missio
n is to photograph the weapons and retrieve specs.
Vaughn, who has now lost countermission approval to Jack, angers Sydney when h
e suggests that Jack had set up Irina during the Madagascar mission. At Franci
e's restaurant opening, Jack gives Syd her countermission ? to hack into the c
omputer, steal the files for the CIA, and download dummy files for SD-6. He al
so tells her that Irina is facing the death penalty for breaking her agreement
with the CIA.
Vaughn speaks to Manolo Souza, a US national being held for transporting explo
sives in Madagascar. Souza tells Vaughn that he was working for Jack, confirmi
ng Vaughn's suspicions.
In Budapest, Syndey, wearing a blond wig and glasses, infiltrates the Magistra
te's Bureau by claiming to be working on her family tree. She hacks the comput
er and downloads the files, but when Dixon leads her to the research room, she
finds a man instructing young students how to assemble a gun. The weapons are
children!
Sloane explains that they're being trained as sleeper agents. European standar
dized tests locate the brightest children, who are then given a month-long tra
ining program that's erased from their memory and sent back home. Supposedly,
the KGB was developing a similar program in the 80s.
Sloane tells Jack that Emily's name was forged on a B&B registry weeks after h
er death. He admits that he poisoned her with sodium morphate, but only after
doctors confirmed that her lymphoma would return. He asks Jack to find out who
else was in the running for Alliance membership. At home, Sloane finds a glas
s of wine ominously waiting for him. When he has the wine analyzed, he finds t
hat it contains VTX, an antidote to sodium morphate that simulates death.
At the CIA, Vaughn identifies the instructor as former KGB psych ops agent Val
erie Kolakov. Against Jack's wishes, Sydney offers to get Kolakov, who's now i
n Buenos Aires. Later, Vaughn tells Jack that he'll go to Sydney if Jack doesn
't tell her about Madagascar.
In Buenos Aires, Kolakov attacks Syd with a stun gun but is electrocuted when
she throws him into water. She finds a spatial relations puzzle and completes
it in seconds. When Sydney undergoes hypnosis back home, she sees herself givi
ng a gun to her father! Syd confronts Jack with her memories ? Irina's mission
was to uncover "Project Christmas," a plan Jack developed to train kids to be
come American spies. Syd claims that Jack has been afraid she would figure it
all out. "You programmed me to be a spy," she says, "I will never forgive you
for this."

28. Salvation
gs: James Handy (CIA Director Devlin) Amy Irving (Emily Sloane) Stephen Markle
(Senator Douglas) Daniel Faltus (Jan Spinnaker) Cliff Olin (Cliff)
As Irina's trial nears, Sloane informs Sydney that Richter was infected by an
Ebola-like virus that Sark has developed. Sark is studying three infected pati
ents in a private Geneva hospital which Jack and Sydney, posing as a wealthy S
outhern patient and his daughter, must infiltrate to acquire the research.
Jack explains to Sydney that he never intended her to be a spy, that he only t
ested Project Christmas on her so she could be strong in a dangerous environme
nt ? but Sloane got to her before he did. She's dubious and is further angered
when Irina pleads guilty and is sentenced to die in three days. Sydney, hopin
g to halt Irina's execution, writes Devlin a letter stating that Jack has dece
ived the CIA.
Later, Vaughn explains to Devlin that he's found Soviet standardized test from
the 80s, similar to our own. He believes that Irina stole Jack's research and
there may be Soviet sleeper cells here in the U.S. Devlin is doubtful. Vaughn
hires Will as a freelancer to look into this issue.
On the plane to Geneva, Jack, who's aware of Sydney's letter, says that Irina'
s plea was a ploy to get Syd's sympathy. Syd says that her birth is his bigges
t mistake ? it represents his gullibility. They arrive at the hospital incogni
to ? on the operating table, Jack gasses the doctors, then downloads the resea
rch as Sydney extracts blood from a dying patient, who says the name Irina. Cr
eating an explosion by mixing ammonia with iodine in a centrifuge, they escape
to a helicopter on the roof. Jack explains that Irina had ordered Sark to inf
ect her own operatives and use them as a test group.
Back in L.A., Sloane tells Jack that the mysterious wine was laced with VTX, a
compound that counteracts the effects of sodium morphate ? meaning Emily is a
live or a rival wants the Alliance to think that Emily is alive and that Sloan
e is a rogue. Later, Sloane enters a church, believing he sees Emily. Jack say
s he suffering from guilt and says there's a way to put this issue to rest. La
ter Sloane disinters Emily's remains ? her coffin is empty!
Sydney and Vaughn are ordered into quarantine because the strange device they'
d seen in Taipei has been found to be the source of the virus. After a worriso
me night together awaiting test results, Sydney is found to be negative. Vaugh
n's tests are less clear but he is later released.
Syd watches on closed circuit TV as Jack tells Senator Douglas during his inqu
iry that he loves Sydney despite his limitations as a father. Still, Jack will
go to jail and Irina will be executed the next day. Sydney commandeers Dougla
s' limo and forces him to reverse the charges against both Jack and Irina by t
elling him that a Senator is working for The Alliance and she'll turn her evid
ence over to the FBI if he doesn't cooperate. It's a lie, but it works.
Meanwhile, at home, Vaughn exhibits bleeding fingernails, a symptom of Sark's
virus.

Arthur (Abigail)
Vaughn wraps his bloody fingernails and heads to Irina's cell. She thanks him
for proving Jack's involvement in Madagascar. Vaughn admits he's sick and asks
Irina what Khasinau learned from experimenting on people exposed to the Red B
all. Irina asks if he loves Sydney, to which Vaughn replies that he'll tell he
r if she helps him.
Will tells Sydney that the 1982 standardized test is missing from public recor
d. Sydney then explains "Project Christmas" and says that Vaughn thinks Russia
n intelligence is still running it to recruit American sleepers.
At the CIA, Sydney, having learned that Vaughn is sick, asks Irina if there is
an antidote. It's in Paldiski, Estonia, she says, at a former Soviet training
base for nuclear submarine personnel. But the antidote is genetic-specific, m
eaning Sydney must manufacture it from Vaughn's blood. With Vaughn now in the
hospital and expected to live only three days, Sydney draws his blood and they
hold hands. On her way out, Sydney meets Alice, Vaughn's girlfriend.
Sloane confesses to Jack that he's insecure about his standing within the Alli
ance and that he confessed the Emily issue to Kristof, whom he must now meet i
n Tokyo. He tortures Richter, desperately trying to find the location of Derev
ko's ops base.
Will gets hold of the '82 standardized test and finds that it contains no spat
ial relations questions. Later, Francie recognizes that the test is actually f
rom '83 because it references the American invasion of Grenada. Will then spea
ks to an official at the Dept. of Education who gives him the actual '82 test,
which has spatial relations questions. The official is baffled ? he had submi
tted the test without such questions.
Sydney arrives at the Paldiski lab and dons a hazmat suit. She spots Sark. Fin
ding the equipment, she learns that an alarm will sound if she tries to genera
te the serum. She ignores Kendall's order to abort and makes the serum, thus a
lerting Sark to her presence. Sark traps her in a decontamination chamber and
threatens to kill her by releasing ammonia flurochloride. He forces her to cut
s a deal ? Sydney can keep the antidote if she'll deliver him Sloane.
At the CIA, Jack supports her plan, mentioning that Sloane will be in Tokyo. A
s Sydney prepares for the mission, Jack says he never wanted her to be involve
d in pre-meditated murder, and hints that it's Irina's influence on her. In a
Tokyo hotel, Sydney, dressed as a geisha, overtakes a pair of guards and repla
ces a masseuse administering to Sloane. Syd stabs him with poisoned prongs fro
m her hairpin and he passes out. Sark spirits away Sloane in an ambulance. A S
ark associate gives the antidote to Jack.
In LA, Vaughn awakes from a 40-hour sleep. Jack tells him the antidote has bee
n administered and Sloane is dead as a consequence.
At SD-6, Sydney surprisingly sees Sloane ? with Sark! He says Sark is cooperat
ing with SD-6 on the search for Derevko. In private, Sark explains to Syd that
he revived Sloane and convinced him that they should work together to solve t
he Rambaldi mystery. Sark then diminished Sloane's doubts by giving him a myst
erious piece of paper.
A healthy Vaughn returns to Irina's cell. He confesses his feelings for Sydney
. Irina says he hasn't said anything to the one that matters. He leaves her an
d runs into Syd, who hugs him and cries. She says that Sloane increased his st
anding in the Alliance by presenting Sark as their new ally. Vaughn says he kn
ows that Syd met Alice, but Sydney tells him not to explain and leaves.Vaughn
hesitates a moment and follows, but she's gone.

30. Passage (1)
gs: Pavel Lychnikoff (Zoran Sokolov) Terry O'Quinn (Kendall) Shishir Kurup (Sa
eed Akhtar)
Sydney privately tells Sark that if he burns her, she'll return the favor. Sar
k tries to reassure her, saying he must keep quiet for his own safety as well.
Later, a worried Sydney asks Irina if she told Sark that she was a double age
nt. Irina assures her that she did not, but that in itself doesn't mean that s
he's safe.
At SD-6, Sloane tells the doubting team that Sark has turned himself in and ba
rtered immunity for information. Sloane reassures them that Sark won't violate
their agreement. Sark says that it's not in his best interest to betray them.
Sloane then unveils the next mission: Sydney and Dixon are to purchase the co
mmunication codes used by Uzbek troops. Extremist forces in neighboring Tajiki
stan are trying to use the codes to plan terrorist attacks, and SD-6 wants to
study them. Irina, upon hearing of the mission from Sydney, insists on being r
eleased for 48 hours but refuses to offer details. Her request is denied.
Meanwhile, Sark tells Sloane that Sydney suspects he hasn't truly turned himse
lf in. Since Jack can influence Sydney, they agree that Jack cannot know the r
eal use of the codes. As Sark leaves, Sloane receives a phone call demanding a
ccount numbers for all SD-6 investments ? or he will be held responsible for t
he death of his wife, Emily. Sloane is defiant.
Sydney and Dixon meet with Zokolov in Uzbekistan and obtain the codes, which a
re secure in a case. However, the case will detonate if opened without proper
validation ? a fingerprint of the case's owner, an Uzbek soldier who's been co
nveniently assassinated. Disguised as Uzbek soldiers, Dixon delivers Sydney's
"corpse" to a morgue. Having gained entry, she then finds the soldier's body a
nd obtains the print. Sydney fights off several guards, finds Dixon, and they
return to home.
In LA, Will informs Vaughn that the KGB inserted questions into the 1982 stand
ardized test, which was administered to 5 million American children. Vaughn bl
untly says that Devlin ordered him to let Will go because his involvement may
pose a security risk.
Sydney tells Will that she has to gain Sark's trust. Later, she asks Vaughn wh
y the CIA is ignoring Will's findings. Vaughn simply says that the research wa
s sent to the FBI. He then shows Sydney a watch, a gift from his father, who h
ad told him, "You could set your heart by this watch." The watch stopped Octob
er 1 ? the day he and Syd met. Their pagers sound, and the moment is cut short
.
Sydney and Vaughn discover that the codes are actually for six portable nuclea
r warheads that were confirmed missing six months ago. Furthermore, Sark elect
ronically sent the codes to an unknown third party. They should have listened
to Irina.
Irina says that revealing the details earlier might have exposed Sydney as a d
ouble agent. The warheads are in Kashmir, she says, at a former maximum securi
ty prison that's now the stronghold for the People's Revolutionary Front. Sydn
ey convinces Irina to lead a team to Kashmir. A furious Jack reacts by joining
the team himself. He gives Irina a necklace layered with C4, warning her that
he would detonate it if she tried to escape.
Will, although no longer working for Vaughn, gives him 40 names of children wh
o achieved perfect scores on the standardized tests. He researched a culture s
tudy from 1980-1985 to find these scores, which Vaughn had said the CIA couldn
't uncover. Will says he's still trying to figure out why the '82 tests were m
issing.
Disguised as a loving family on vacation, Irina, Jack and Sydney board a train
en route to Kashmir. They parachute from the train and meet their contact, wh
o provides them with the necessary equipment. Meanwhile, back at SD-6 Sloane r
eceives a small package containing Emily's finger, with the wedding ring attac
hed.
Syd, Irina and Jack are ambushed by the PRF on the way to the camp. During the
fight, Irina uses the C-4 necklace, as well as a machine gun. After killing t
he soldiers, Jack informs Irina that she is not to carry a weapon. Irina acqui
esces, but reminds him that they are in enemy territory and need to start trus
ting each other. The trio makes their way toward a CIA station where they can
patch through to Langley on a secure line. They leave, set to arrive at dawn.

shall Manesh (Hari Singh)
At CIA headquarters, Vaughn learns of the PRF ambush on Sydney, Jack and Irina
. Sending a rescue team is impossible, since doing so may instigate the Pakist
anis. To make matters worse, Vaughn receives a memo stating that the nuclear w
arheads will be activated the next day at 1700 hours.
The trio makes it to Srinagar and meets Jack's contact. Vaughn contacts Sydney
and informs her of the nukes' impending activation. Sydney jokingly tells Vau
ghn that while some families go miniature golfing, her family hunts for nuclea
r warheads. Disguised as Pakistanis, they head for the PRF base in an old truc
k. Jack, under seemingly false pretenses, makes Irina hide in a grain bin stow
ed in the back. The cars stalls 10 miles from the base and they begin to walk.
Irina informs them that the easiest entry into the base is via a sewage tunne
l ? beyond a minefield that she can navigate. Jack is dubious, but they have n
o choice.
At SD-6, Sark tells Sloane that he's spoken with the leader of the PRF, Gerard
Cuvee, who will upload the "results" to the server after the operation is don
e. Sloane then receives another mysterious call regarding his wife. A voice de
mands $100 million in bearer bonds within 24 hours. If Sloane fails to deliver
, the voice says, the next delivery will go to the Alliance.
Nearing the PRF facility, Sydney and company are again attacked. Jack this tim
e gives Irina a gun and they repel the attackers. Jack, however, has fallen ne
ar a landmine; any movement would set it off. With Irina's guidance, Sydney de
fuses the device. Meanwhile, Vaughn discovers that the Indians have learned ab
out the nukes and will launch airstrikes in 24 hours against the Pakistani reb
els.
Once inside the PRF HQ, Irina determines that the nukes will be in a secure R&
D lab, protected by thermal sensors. They must split up, Irina says: she'll de
activate the security system from Cuvee's office, Sydney will raise the lab's
temperature so they won't be detected when they enter, and Jack will patch int
o the voice-recognition system to open the doors. Jack, still skeptical of Iri
na, reluctantly agrees to the plan.
Sloane meets with The Alliance, informing them that someone has interfered wit
h his wife's assassination and is extorting him. He suggests that they coopera
te with the blackmailer and put a tracking device on the bonds. Later, Sloane
drops the bonds, which are being tracked by Marshall, at the specified locatio
n. To Marshall's dismay, the tracking signal is quickly lost.
Jack and Sydney make it to the lab, only to find that the nukes' plutonium cor
es are gone. Suddenly, Cuvee enters 3 with Irina alongside! They're incarcerat
ed, and a fearful Sydney watches Cuvee and Irina confront Jack. Cuvee says tha
t years ago he gave Irina the assignment to marry a CIA officer. Irina tells J
ack that the PRF has made a deal with Sark. When Cuvee leaves, Irina reveals t
o Jack that it's just an act, that she was caught and had to play along. She p
istol-whips him, but secretly gives him keys to escape.
Vaughn appeals to Indian authorities to delay the airstrikes. He's denied but
is given the use of a helicopter to rescue his friends.
Jack frees himself and Sydney, and tells her that Irina said the plutonium cor
es are being used to activate a Rambaldi artifact ? one that, through self-sus
taining cell regeneration, proves endless life. They contact Kendall and are t
old to vacate immediately because of the impending Indian airstrikes. Jack dis
obeys orders and tires to find Irina.
They make it to the lab, where the PRF is using the cores to activate the arti
fact. As the airstrikes begin, the artifact opens up ? revealing a flower. Jac
k and Irina, who was in the lab, overpower Cuvee. Vaughn arrives in the helico
pter and spirits away Sydney, Jack and Irina.
Back at the CIA, Irina returns to her cell and finds her reward ? a fresh set
of pillows and blankets. She explains to Syd that she shot her in Taipei to ma
intain her own cover. Later, Sydney learns from Vaughn that the flowers are 40
0-600 years old. Vaughn hands her something ? tickets to go miniature golfing,
which she does with Will and Francie while Vaughn observes from a distance.

32. The Abduction

Sydney tells Will that Devlin would approve of him doing research if he underg
oes a psychological evaluation test. Francie walks in on their conversation an
d wonders aloud about the secrecy between Will and Syd. Later on, Irina tries
to explain to Syd why she worked with the KGB, and calls herself a fool for ab
andoning her daughter. They hug but guards separate them.
Sloane threatens Sark with torture, questioning his allegiance after the faile
d mission in Kashmir. Sark declares his loyalty to Sloane and suggests that a
leak could have come from within SD-6. Shortly thereafter, Sloane organizes a
mission pairing Sydney and Sark. He describes the NSA's Echelon Satellite Syst
em, which filters transmissions and indicates threats to national security. Sa
rk informs the group that Cuvee is in possession of an Echelon terminal and is
moving it from its Paris location via armed transport. They must steal the te
rminal and bring it back to SD-6.
At the CIA, Vaughn gives Syd the countermission: she is provided with a deleti
on program that she will upload to the terminal, so when SD-6 turns it on, the
hard drive will be wiped clean. Vaughn says that Alice's father died; Syd off
ers condolences. Meanwhile, Jack tells Irina that he believes she and Sark are
still in league. He offers her a deal that would relocate her to private pris
on in Puget Sound in return for a full explanation of why she turned herself i
n.
In Paris, Sydney and Sark disable their target, a guarded truck, but learn tha
t it was a decoy. Sydney gives chase to a man who emerges from another vehicle
and finally grabs the terminal. Meanwhile, Sloane introduces Jack to Ariana K
ane, the head of Alliance counter-intelligence, who is investigating Emily's m
ysterious reappearance. Later, she interrogates Jack, who explains that Sloane
recruited Syd without his knowledge in order to ensure his loyalty.
After Will's taken the psych test, he and Syd talk in a bar. As she justifies
her secrecy by calling it a "gesture of love," Vaughn and Alice enter. They me
et, share an awkward moment and move on.
Back SD-6, Sloane tells the team that a failsafe erased the Echelon terminal's
hard drive. Cuvee, he says, may be able to reverse engineer a new terminal ba
sed on duplicate software that he's stored on a secure server in London, so he
wants Syd to delete it. Marshall says the server can detect any electronic in
trusion, so it must be cracked manually by a polymorphic algorithm ? something
only he can do. A nervous Marshall accepts his mission.
Vaughn tells Sydney that Marshall must be taken into protective custody after
the mission because he has a photographic memory and will recall the system fi
les even if they're deleted. He is, essentially, a human reboot. Sydney cautio
ns that SD-6 is Marshall's life, and that the truth would be difficult for him
to handle.
In London, Sydney and Marshall arrive at Royal Albert Hall dressed impeccably
for the London Philharmonic. They sit behind Thatcher Powell, Cuvee's head of
IT security, who is the only man with access to the secure server. They sedate
him, steal the access key and go to the server facility. While Sydney is tras
hing a couple of guards, Marshall is shot with a tranquilizer, which makes him
too woozy to hack into the server. Sydney revives him with a kiss, and he qui
ckly succeeds. They retrieve the software and return the key before Powell awa
kens. But they are observed by a mysterious man in a wheelchair.
After Syd and Marshall split for their return flight, Marshall is taken into c
ustody ? but not by the CIA! At SD-6, Ariana insists to Sloane that Jack is th
e prime suspect because he is unafraid of Sloane and is therefore hiding somet
hing.
When Jack visits Irina to discuss the deal again, Irina states that she has no
thing to confess and that she turned herself in to make up for past mistakes.
She also says that she will now allow Jack to debrief her, in addition to Sydn
ey.
A terrified Marshall is in the custody of ? "Suit and Glasses."

33. A Higher Echelon

sses) James Lesure (CIA Agent Craig Blair) Ira Heiden (CIA Agent Rick McCarthy
)
Sydney reveals her mission regarding the Echelon system to Will, and believes
that Marshall is safe with the CIA. Marshall is actually being tortured by Sui
t and Glasses, who demands to know where the Echelon operating system is locat
ed. Under threat of death, Marshall later agrees to use his photographic memor
y to rewrite the Echelon code.
At the CIA, Vaughn tells Syd that Marshall was abducted by an associate of Cuv
ee. Although an extraction team is searching for him, Sydney feels that Marsha
ll is her responsibility. The larger issue is that before he was abducted, Mar
shall e-mailed Cuvee's copy of the Echelon access program to SD-6.
At SD-6, Sloane reveals that Marshall's email was broken into packets of data
that were routed to SD-6 via ISP's around the world. An error in Vietnam preve
nted several data packets from being transmitted, however, so Sydney and Dixon
are to travel to a government facility in Ho Chi Minh City to retrieve the da
ta. Sloane feigns concern for Marhsall and contacts SD-4 for a replacement. Sy
dney's CIA countermission is to switch the actual data with corrupted files.
Sydney tells the CIA that Cuvee would just have to reverse-engineer the softwa
re to get back online. However, an access point is also needed to gain entry t
o Echelon. If they could find it, they can prevent Cuvee for using it ? unfort
unately, they can't find it. Vaughn says that Irina believes she can find the
back door. Her terms are that she gains unrestricted access to Echelon. She sa
ys that the CIA technicians will find that the security system is like quicksa
nd. Kendall rejects this notion.
Back at Credit Dauphine, Jack finds Ariana Kane going through his office. She
downgrades his network privileges and revokes his security clearance pending t
he outcome of her investigation into Emily's situation. Jack has the CIA forge
hard evidence that he was in Taipei and Istanbul on SD-6 missions during cruc
ial periods in Emily's disappearance and death.
Disguised as a businesswoman, Sydney makes a presentation in Vietnam during wh
ich she flashes a strobe light that renders the audience unconscious for 3 min
utes, allowing her time to access to the server room and obtain the data. Find
ing the hard drive bay empty, Sydney runs to the repair room but Dixon beats h
er there and discovers the correct hard drive before Sydney can switch it.
Sydney returns home; Sloane now has everything he needs to access Echelon. Mea
nwhile, the CIA has halted the search for Marshall because an extraction team
was killed during a sweep in London. Francie casually mentions Sydney's crush
on Vaughn to Will. Later, Will meets with Vaughn, who hires him as a CIA analy
st ? his cover is that he's a journalist for Trade Roads magazine. Will tells
Vaughn that Syd cares for him and wants him to respect that.
With SD-6 gaining access to Echelon in 12 hours, the CIA can't crack Echelon ?
as Irina had cryptically noted, they encounter a virus called Quicksand. Kend
all finally agrees to let Irina have a try. Kane shows Sloane a forensic repor
t indicating that Jack checked out a weapon on the day that Emily was murdered
. Furthermore, brain matter was found in the gun barrel. Sloane gives her perm
ission to run a DNA test.
As Marshall is writing the code he pings SD-6 to inform them of his Mexico Cit
y location. Sloane wants to notify an extraction team, but Sydney and Dixon re
quest the mission.
Jack meets with Ariana in a meeting monitored by the CIA. She demands his cell
phone's SIM card and asks who Steven Haladki is. Vaughn quickly scribbles an
ID number on his SIM card and switches with Jack. Jack explains that Haladki h
ad been in league with Irina, and therefore had to be murdered. Jack hands her
the card and leaves quickly. Ariana notices ink on her fingers.
Disguised as clubbers, Sydney and Dixon set up a surveillance feed and locate
Marshall. Marshall shows his finished program to Suit and Glasses ? it's an ol
d-school Pong game. Sydney arrives just in time to prevent Marshall's executio
n but they're soon trapped in the upper stories of a skyscraper. Marshall brea
ks a window and "rescues" Sydney with the parachute lined in his jacket ? the
one he keeps because he fears commercial air travel.
Irina finds the access point and prevents SD-6 from entering Echelon. Vaughn e
xplains to Sydney that it didn't make sense to bring Marshall to the CIA after
what happened with Sloane. Jack confronts Sloane at his home, stating that Ka
ne needs someone to blame and is setting him up. He gives Sloane leads, trusti
ng that he will not be framed. When Jack leaves, however, Sloane calls Kane, i
nforming her that Jack just left his house.

Jack is attacked as he meets a contact in a darkened movie theater. As he flee
s on foot, Sydney pulls up and rescues him. He explains that Alliance counter-
intelligence is after him because he's suspected of extorting $100 million in
bonds from Sloane. Sydney's upset that he didn't tell her. Back at the CIA, Ja
ck explains to Sydney the blackmail scenario involving Sloane and Emily. Kane
is framing him, and is uncovering his secrets in the process.
At SD-6, Sloane offers Sydney a new mission: to retrieve Triad's prototype qua
ntum gyroscope missile guidance system. She and Dixon are to intercept Carl Sh
atz, the courier who is transporting the gyroscope from Berlin to a lab in Eas
t France. Vaughn's countermission for Sydney is to steal the gyroscope and cre
ate a defective one for SD-6. Vaughn will travel to France as part of an on-si
te team.
Sloane informs Jack about the tracking device implanted in his neck by The All
iance, so he had to tell Kane of his visit. Sloane says he trusts Jack and giv
es him a name- Jacques Breo, an Alliance member he murdered. He suggests the b
lackmailer might want revenge for the killing. Jack discusses this with Irina,
admitting he needs her smarts. Irina says she needs Information Resources to
pull everything they have on Breo. Meanwhile, Kane suggests to a doubtful Sloa
ne that Sydney might be a double agent.
As Sydney prepares to leave for Nice, Weiss returns from his lengthy stay in t
he hospital. Dixon and Sydney later arrive at the airport, disguised as a prie
st and a punk, respectively. Sydney collides with Shatz and picks the gyroscop
e. While the copy is secretly being made, Vaughn asks Sydney to dinner. She ag
rees, despite her misgivings. Back at SD-6, Kane learns that Sydney left the a
irport with a man that was not Dixon and has two agents track them.
Jack and Irina study the information relating to Breo and find that Creole tra
veled to Lima, Peru six times and each time declared $70,000 in cash. Still, i
t doesn't suggest a reason for revenge. Irina suggests that Jack find out wher
e he stayed and pull the security tapes.
Sydney and Vaughn begin dinner awkwardly, but the date heats up when they agre
e to a romantic tryst. Just then Kane's men, who've learned that Vaughn is CIA
, enter the restaurant firing. Syd and Vaughn are chased down an alley, where
Vaughn kills both of them. Remembering the gyroscope, Vaughn says that they sh
ould give SD-6 the real thing so as not to arouse any suspicions.
Jack scans the security tapes of Brio's hotel in Peru and finds a shot of Brio
? and Kane! He learns that the same day Sloane handed over the bonds, Kane op
ened an account in Monaco. If he can get into their network, he can verify her
balance and prove she's the blackmailer. Kendall suggests that Jack let the C
IA take care of it, but he refuses to wait.
When Jack arrives at SD-6 he logs in to the network and finds that Irina's acc
ount balance is zero. He's taken by SD-6 agents to be interrogated by Kane, wh
o injects him with sodium pentothal ? truth serum. But Sloane arrives, release
s Jack, and holds Kane instead. Jack had sent Sloane an email, giving him an a
ccount of what he had found ? Kane had deposited the bonds, but only long enou
gh to convert them into cash, which she then withdrew. Later, Irina suggests t
o Jack that Sloane requested Kane because she was easy to frame.
Sydney tells Francie that nothing will happen with Vaughn. Later, Vaughn infor
ms Sydney that if he tells the truth about the mission in his debriefing, he w
ill be removed as her case officer. Sydney responds by stating that they work
well together, and should stay together as a result. She hands Vaughn the gyro
scope, she switched them after all.
Sloane meets with a man who has created a ring that will act like the tracking
device in his neck. He's now able to move about freely. Sloane kills the man
and travels to the Philippines, where he meets his wife. Their plan worked.

In a comfortably appointed 747, Sydney poses as a call girl and models lingeri
e for an unnamed fat man. She gets close to him, surprising him with a choke h
old and demands to know the location of Server 47. He tells her, and she knock
s him and downloads data from the terminal. She searches the plane for a parac
hute and fends off a guard ? but the fat man appears brandishing a gun and fir
es at Syd ?
At the CIA, Vaughn pulls Sydney aside and says that it isn't working between t
hem because he's going crazy with passion and worry for her. She agrees but th
ey rationalize their chemistry is helping bring down SD-6. Weiss interrupts an
d they end the conversation. Kendall reveals that Sloane is MIA and has been r
eplaced as head of SD-6 by Anthony Geiger. Syd and Jack's new mission is to ge
t close to him.
At SD-6, Sydney introduces herself to Geiger, professes loyalty and, under his
questioning, tells him that she felt it was her fault that Sloane had Danny k
illed. Later Sark tells her that he's nervous about Geiger, who has looked int
o Sloane's secret files on Server 47. Syd then tells Jack that this mysterious
server could have crucial information about the Alliance that could make them
vulnerable.
Vaughn locates the Server 47 ? it's on a continuously airborne 747 that lands
only to refuel and is guarded by a man named Macor (the fat man).As payment fo
r spending his life on the jet, he's supplied with an unlimited number of call
girls. Syd's mission is to gain access to the server in the main cabin by pla
ying a high-priced hooker.
Vaughn and Weiss observe Sydney's conduct via a monitor from a cargo plane fly
ing at a lower altitude. They watch with disbelief as Macor's shot misses and
as Syd picks up a gun and fires ? puncturing the plane's hull and depressurizi
ng the cabin. Macor is sucked out and drawn into the jet engine. Struggling ag
ainst the vacuum, Sydney manages to find a parachute and jumps to safety.
In L.A., Will tells Francie that he must quit her restaurant because he got a
job as a travel writer. She's genuinely happy for him and an innocent kiss tur
ns romantic. Later on, they tell Sydney.
Kendall is reluctant to move on the info downloaded from Server 47 because the
risk is too great if it's incorrect. Sydney suggests they verify the security
code at the SD-6 computers with what's in the new info. If it matches, then t
he info is accurate.
Meanwhile, Geiger notices a strange email that Sloane had written and runs a p
rogram that tracks keystrokes. The email reveals that Sloane knew that Jack an
d Syd were double agents working against SD-6!Geiger confronts Jack. Jack call
s Syd and tells her to come down to SD-6, but to take surface streets because
the highway is jammed ? a coded phrase meaning he's been compromised. Geiger t
ortures Jack with electrocution, hoping to find out who Jack's working for.
Sydney is frantic because she can't help Jack and knows Kendall will think a r
escue is too risky. She tells Will and Francie to leave town because someone i
s looking for her. She then meets with Dixon and reveals to him the truth abou
t SD-6 and her role as a double-agent. She asks him to hack into SD-6's innerm
ost server and make visible to the CIA the code that will verify their info. D
ixon is dubious but acquiesces. When the CIA receives the code, Kendall orders
a global assault on all Alliance and SD cells.
A CIA team overruns SD-6. Sydney finds Jack just in time and shoots Geiger. As
the CIA gains control of the facility, Sydney and Vaughn see each other amids
t the carnage and kiss passionately!
Later Sark, who has escaped unharmed, phones Sloane and informs him that Phase
One is complete. A pleased Sloane asks him to check in on their "new asset."
Sark phones ? Francie. But it's a double. She's murdered the real Francie, who
lies on the floor with a bullet to her head!

CIA Agent Jim Lennox is in bed with his partner, Emma Wallace. She tells him t
hat she'd like to go back to Fiji. He agrees and they kiss. When he goes into
the shower, she frantically types an email: "Abort operation. Lennox is a ?" L
ennox hits her before she completes the message. Sloane, whom Lennox has calle
d to say he'd been compromised, tells him to make it public. Wallace, strapped
with C-4, is thrown from a van onto a Berlin street.
In L.A., Vaughn tells Syd that Marshall and Dixon are being debriefed and Sloa
ne is now on Interpol's most wanted list. He also tells her that he broke up w
ith Alice. Weiss introduces Christine Phillips, a new clandestine services gra
d from Langley who will observe for the next few months. They all watch as Wal
lace appears on the news singing "Pop Goes the Weasel." The agents watch in ho
rror as Lennox remotely detonates the C-4, killing Wallace.
Shortly thereafter Kendall briefs the staff, saying that Wallace's mission had
been to gain the trust of Dr. Enzo Markovic, a scientist developing a technol
ogy known as Helix, to determine if it was a weapon. Enzo was believed to have
gone to a secret lab in the Serena del Sol Resort in Cayo Cancho, off the Dom
inican Republic. Lennox is believed to be held there or dead. Sydney and Vaugh
n's mission is to acquire intelligence and bring Lennox back home.
Vaughn picks up Syd at her apartment. They kiss and she introduces him to Fran
cie, who thinks they're going to a finance conference in New York. Syd gets a
strange vibe from her.
At the resort, they force Enzo's security chief to reveal Lennox's location. S
yd interrupts Lennox's torture and beats his two inquisitors. His eyes were af
fected so she blindfolds him and leads him away while Vaughn acquires the Heli
x files. When Syd is attacked by a guard, Lennox removes the bandage, risking
his eyesight, to shoot him. Back home, the CIA gives Lennox a clean bill of he
alth
Under questioning, Lennox explains that while he and Wallace were working for
Enzo as freelance security experts, the discovered that he was working for som
eone else. Lennox was going to hack the database in Cayo and transmit the data
to Wallace in Berlin, but he was caught before that could happen. Sydney is s
haken when he also reveals that he and Wallace were engaged.
Phillips analyzes the tape of Wallace's death and, due to static on the tape,
determines that the detonator was within a block of the explosion.A sympatheti
c Syd visits the grieving Lennox at a safe house. He kisses her, but quickly a
pologizes.Two men appear and accost Lennox. He beats them but then Syd subdues
him because the men are government agents who want to take Lennox into federa
l custody.
At the CIA, Jack reports that Helix is a new gene therapy that can reshape a p
atient's face and body. The only way to determine an actual identity is throug
h an ocular scan ? this flaw was purposely built into the procedure. Lennox, h
e says, was the first test subject to be doubled, meaning Lennox may actually
be Enzo. Vaughn then places Lennox at the scene of Wallace's murder. Syd is du
bious, believing Lennox's grief to be authentic.
Lennox's scan checks out okay, and he's shocked when Syd tells him he's been d
oubled. They learn that Enzo brought Helix to Poland. Syd and Lennox are to fi
nd it, download the schematics and destroy it.
At a railroad depot, they disable the guards and break into the freight car wh
ere the technology is hidden. Lennox reads data and learns that another person
has been doubled. Vaughn receives a frantic call from a man claiming to be Le
nnox, who says the man the CIA rescued is really Enzo. This Lennox says the oc
ular scan is merely disinformation and that he's approaching the freight car a
nd will destroy the technology.
Vaughn notifies Syd of the predicament. Jack tells her to disarm both men and
they'll figure out the mess once they're both in custody. She makes Lennox han
dcuff himself to the freight car. When she leaves, he breaks his hand in order
to slip through the cuff and picks up a gun.
Syd confronts the second Lennox, but the first one appears. They're in a stand
off. Syd threatens to detonate Helix. The second Lennox reacts and tries to sh
oot Sydney. The first ? and real ? Lennox shoots and kills the phony. Sydney d
estroys Helix.
At the CIA, Lennox prepares to go to Fiji ? he's never been there; he and Emma
were going to go on their honeymoon. Later on in Syd's apartment, she and Vau
ghn fall into bed. But they're being observed through a camera secretly instal
led in the television. Francie watches ? she's the other double.

Sydney and Vaughn wake up together. During their bedroom chatter, Syd mentions
that it's her graduation day and discusses her desire to leave the agency. Ke
ndall later refuses Sydney's resignation, adding that as a civilian she would
no longer be able to see her mother. Irina, hoping to push her daughter away f
rom the CIA, says she will refuse to see her if Syd stays with the agency.
At the Long Beach Aquarium, Sark kidnaps Neil Caplan, a Cal Tech mathmetician,
along with his wife and child. They're taken to Switzerland, where Sloane sho
ws Caplan the Rambaldi manuscript and explains his 30-year-search for artifact
s.
As Syd prepares for her graduation, Sloane calls, ostensibly to congratulate h
er. He admits he knew she and Jack were double-agents and that he used them to
free himself of The Alliance. He warns her not to get in his way. At the CIA,
Kendall briefs Syd on Sloane's kidnapping of Caplan, whose knowledge of Knot
Theory ? how geometric objects fit together ? would enable Sloane to build a w
eapon out of the Rambaldi artifacts. Syd wearily realizes the battle against e
vil is eternal, and rethinks her resignation.
Sydney tells Dixon that he's been cleared, and offers him a CIA job. Dixon, ho
wever, feels manipulated by Syd and never wants to see her again. He goes home
to his wife and confesses his life of deception. Despite his vow to be honest
with her in the future, she later says that she'll leave him if he joins the
CIA.
Marshall, on the other hand, has already adapted to the CIA and has found a Sl
oane associate ? Holden Gemler, a cybernetics specialist in Van Nuys. Jack dis
covers Gemler's body, sans one eye, during a search. Marshall reveals that the
eye is actually a tracking device and they deduce that Sloane hired Gemler to
deactivate his own Alliance-implanted tracking device. Marshall accesses the
memory in Gemler's eye, which shows Sloane killing Gemler and mentioning a cha
rtered C-123 cargo plane from Shipman.
Shipman is a smuggler-operated airfield in the Mojave Desert. With Vaughn posi
ng as an arms dealer, Syd sneaks in and downloads the plane's data recorder, w
hich will reveal Sloane's final destination as Switzerland. Syd repels an atta
cker, sending him into the plane's propeller.
With Caplan agreeing to help Sloane in order to save his family, Sloane plans
to break into a Zurich bank that holds Caplan's invention, a magnetometer, whi
ch can measure magnetic fields and fit the Rambaldi pieces together perfectly.
Sloane talks to Emily, telling her that their Tuscan villa will be ready in a
few more days.
In Switzerland, Vaughn contacts a mercenary employed by Sloane and nearly sets
him afire before he reveals the location of Caplan's wife and child. With the
family rescued, Syd has Marshall triangulate the calls from a cell phone she
found on a kidnapper and finds that they originate from the Zurich bank. Syd a
nd Vaughn race through the streets to get there in time.
At the bank, Sloane, who has changed his appearance to that of an elderly man,
gains access to the vaults under the pretext of making a $50 million deposit.
He shoots the bank manager and finds the magnetometer. Syd and Vaughn arrive
as Sloane and his team are leaving. The standoff is broken when Sloane says he
has rigged the lower level with enough C-4 to destroy a city block and if he
doesn't exit in 30 seconds, an off-site team will detonate it. Sydney and Vaug
hn toss their guns to the ground. Sloane throws Sydney a set of keys, telling
her that she will drive him out.

gs: Terry O'Quinn (Kendall) Greg Grunberg (Agent Eric Weiss) Eli Danker (Kabir
) Lina Patel (Alia Gizabi) Yvonne Farrow (Diane Dixon)
Sydney and Sloane leave the bank while Vaughn works to disarm the C-4 in the b
ank's basement. While Syd drives Sloane's getaway car, she tells him that he's
on the CIA hit list. Sloane, having learned that the C-4 is disarmed, jumps f
rom the car to a speeding van that eludes Sydney. Later at the CIA, Kendall an
d Syd argue about Sloane, with each saying the others efforts are sub par.
Vaughn receives a call from Weiss while at Sydney's apartment. The phone call
triggers one of the hidden bugs, which replays a previous conversation. They l
ocate the bug in a wall. At the CIA, Marshall says that he had made the bug wh
ile at SD-6. The bug, he says, periodically transmits to a receiver, which is
why Vaughn heard it over his cellular. Jack orders Marshall to reverse enginee
r the bug to find to whom the conversations are going.
In Switzerland, as Sloane views a Rambaldi page with a hole in the center, Sar
k informs him that Caplan's tests are complete. The artifact is ready, and Sar
k will now prepare to test it. Sloane flies to Kandahar and meets Ahmad Kabir,
a Pashtun warlord, hoping to recruit him as a partner in his nefarious plans.
He wins over the reluctant Kabir with a gift ? a pen once belonging to a 17th
century Afghani warrior-poet.
At Syd's place, Francie tries to get Syd to talk, saying they've grown apart r
ecently. But Syd receives a phone call from Vaughn and leaves immediately. Fra
ncie realizes that the bugs have been discovered and calls Sark, who tells her
that they'll be looking for an L.A. asset so she should simply give them one.
She later kills and frames Sydney's plumber.
The bug's feed proved to be untraceable, but Kendall has info placing Sloane w
ith Kabir. In discussing a way into Kabir's compound, Sydney reveals that Dixo
n had infiltrated his operations and stolen a missile shipment. Kendall orders
Sydney to recruit Dixon. She tries, but is rebuffed. Vaughn then tells Will t
o present his analysis of Kabir to Kendall.
In Kandahar, Kabir observes Sloane admiring a 16th century Buddhist statuette
of an ahrat, a destroyer of the enemy. He asks for proof of Sloane's power. Sl
oane asks him to choose a target.
At the CIA, Will recommends that they contact Aliyah Kazabi, Kabir's ex-wife,
who hates him so much that she escaped from his tyranny with their son. She's
married to an administrator at the Vatican Embassy in Mexico City. Vaughn and
Sydney immediately leave to find her. Sark, meanwhile, has been dispatched to
Mexico City, where he hides the Rambaldi weapon in a van outside the embassy.
He sets it at 20 percent of its capacity.
Sydney, disguised as an old woman, tracks down Kazabi, who refuses to get invo
lved. Weiss informs Vaughn of a plot to blow up the embassy. He alerts Syd, wh
o knocks Kazabi unconscious to take her with them. As they speed away, those i
n the embassy and its church burst into flame. Weiss notes a hot spot on his i
nfrared monitor, although Syd and Vaughn see nothing. Upon returning, however,
they find dozens of charred bodies. It's enough to sway Kazabi, who decides t
o help.
A very pleased Kabir, believing his ex-wife to be dead, gives Sloane the ahrat
as a gift, as well as $40 million. The CIA traces Sark from Mexico City to Ka
bul and assumes the operation involved Sloane. Sydney's mission is to enter Ka
bir's compound and disable the weapon. Marshall explains that the weapon acts
like a neutron bomb, emitting high energy, microwave-like pulse. It also knock
s out electricity, meaning it can down planes, and there is no defense against
it. He shows Sydney a cold suit that she'll wear in order to shield herself f
rom the heat-sensitive cameras at the Helmand base.
Sydney successfully enters Kabir's base but her intel is bad, and she's detect
ed and captured when her mask is knocked off during a fight. Vaughn asks for a
ssistance but Kendall refuses to take the chance. Unless they find another way
in, no one will save Sydney. A desperate Vaughn turns to ? Dixon.
In Kandahar, Kabir tortures Sydney. As he is about to destroy her knee with a
hammer and chisel, he's shot ? it's Vaughn and Dixon. They take the device, fi
ght their way out and return home. Syd thanks Dixon, who says that he can't ju
dge her for not telling him about SD-6. At her apartment, Sydney relates to Va
ughn that every time they think they have seen the worst, it is far from over.
Sark wonders why Sloane left the weapon with Kabir, who ultimately lost it. Sl
oane breaks the ahrat, revealing the missing piece of the Rambaldi manuscript
page. He places the piece in the missing center, completing the page.

39. A Dark Turn

'Quinn (Kendell)
An elevator falls 40 stories, killing the three men inside. Sark pries open th
e door and retrieves a wallet from one of them, a Russian arms dealer named Yu
ri Karpachev. At a briefing, Kendall tells Jack that Karpachev was one of Irin
a's contacts. Jack also knows that Karpachev had ties to Sloane.
Irina tells Jack that Karpachev's wallet contained a key to his safe, which Sl
oane believes contains a Rambaldi manuscript. It doesn't, she says. Karpachev
sold it to a man in Bangkok named Ilya Shtuka. She proposes a meeting with Sht
uka to obtain the manuscript. Word of her re-appearance would also draw out Sl
oane. If he's captured, Irina hopes, then Sydney will quit the CIA.
Sydney is called in to meet with Mitchell Yager, a counter-intelligence analys
t who is investigating Vaughn. Vaughn, he says, has contacted unapproved forei
gn operatives and met with Vladimir Prokrowski, a former KGB assassin. He pres
sures Syd to examine Vaughn's laptop because he may have downloaded a forbidde
n decryption program called Xenon. .
Meanwhile, Kendall is hesitant to allow Irina to make contact with Sloane. Jac
k reassures him, stating that he'll escort her, and that they'll bait Sloane w
ith the manuscript. He says that he'd know if Irina was deceiving him again. M
arshall implants a tracking device in Irina's shoulder.
Irina meets with Shtuka at a Bangkok nightclub. He reveals that traded the man
uscript for opium rights in Hong Kong. Irina kills him, and is then saved from
an attacking thug by Jack. They fly to Hong Kong, where they manage to obtain
the manuscript.
At the CIA, Vaughn calms a suspicious Syd, who then returns to Yager and state
s she can't betray someone she loves.
Sloane is informed of Irina's appearance and requests a meeting in Panama to d
iscuss the purchase of the manuscript. Jack and Irina will be accompanied by a
delta force. Irina requests a visit from Syd, and tells her that the mission
is going to be dangerous ? and that she loves her.
At the apartment Francie puts Will under hypnosis, and he reveals the orbital
location of a satellite, as well as its operational controls.
In Panama, Irina and two guards are to meet Sloane. They'll be tracked by a CI
A satellite ? when the time is right, the delta team will ambush Sloane. At Ir
ina's behest, Jack removes the tracking device so Sloane cannot possibly detec
t it. Jack and Irina kiss.
Weiss tells Syd that Vaughn is about to be charged. They locate Vaughn at a ba
r, where she observes him secretly receiving a package. She confronts him, tel
ling him the CIA suspects he's a spy. Vaughn confesses to Sydney that he's bee
n investigating Irina since she turned herself in. After months of research, h
e's found nothing to suspect she has an agenda.
Expecting Sloane, Irina finds only Sark, who has arrived in a limousine. She a
nd the guards cautiously enter. The CIA loses the satellite signal ? it's been
hacked by Sloane, based on the info that Will had given Francie. Subsequently
, Jack tells Kendall that he cannot activate the tracking device, and to send
in the Delta team. The team surrounds the limo at a pier but the occupants are
not Sark and Irina. It's a dupe that was used when Sark drove through a tunne
l. Kendall checks the manuscript at the CIA and finds that it is filled with p
ost-it notes.
Sark stops his car under a bridge, shoots the two guards and tells Irina to ge
t out. A van arrives with Sloane inside. Irina thanks Sloane for extracting he
r, and hands him the manuscript, which she had hidden with her during the enti
re operation.

40. Truth Takes Time
Despite Sydney's remonstrance, Vaughn's badge is taken and he's now officially
under investigation. Jack tells Sydney of Irina's escape and betrayal. Heartb
roken, she retreats to Irina's old cell, where Dixon consoles her. Sydney show
s him the earrings Irina left for her and wishes Irina was dead.
Aboard Sloane's jet, Sloane and Irina discuss their plans ? Irina will acquire
files from a genetic database in Germany while Sloane reunites with Emily in
Tuscany. He speaks of his regard for Sydney, angering Irina. "Don't ever talk
about your love for my daughter," she says. Later in Tuscany, Sloane surprises
Emily with the purchase of a villa.
At the CIA, Jack takes over the briefing from Kendall. Due to his intimate kno
wledge of Irina, he's been assigned operational control of the task force aime
d at her, and Sloane's, apprehension. Jack reveals he secretly injected Irina
with a passive transmitter, and that it will reveal her location in 12 hours.
During target practice, Vaughn tells Sydney that his security clearance has be
en temporarily downgraded but he's still field-ready. He advises her not to jo
in the task force; she shouldn't have to hunt her own mother. Syd assures him
that she won't hesitate to pull the trigger. Meanwhile, an incensed Kendall, f
eeling misled into trusting Irina, confronts Jack. Jack assures Kendall that h
e's not after his job and he'll step down after Irina's capture.
Irina's signal goes live; she's in Stuttgart along with Sark. Posing as a Scan
dinavian pharmaceutical rep, Irina gains access to the genetic database at Bru
cker Biotech, the German equivalent of the Human Genome Project.
Sark spots the CIA outside and assumes Irina's tagged. He de-bugs her with an
electric shock and sets an explosive while she downloads the database. The CIA
moves in. Sark meets Vaughn in a stairwell and shoots him. Sydney knocks the
gun from Sark, who then flees. Vaughn, Syd learns, was wearing a bulletproof v
est. Irina then baits them into chasing her, so they're free of the building a
s the bomb explodes.
In Tuscany, Emily answers a call from Irina. She summons Sloane, who is told t
o go to his jet for the handoff. Sloane begs a confused Emily to trust him. Ba
ck at the CIA, Will explains that the data contains the DNA of millions of pri
vate citizens. Marshall theorizes that Sloane could develop genetically-target
ed weapons. In Sloane's jet, Emily is shocked to see Irina, whom she thought d
ead, and angered at Sloane's continuing deception. Sloane explains that what h
e's after will let her live cancer free forever.
At dinner in L.A., Sydney thinks Francie's behavior is odd after she presents
Vaughn with a gift.
Emily, meanwhile, turns herself in to the American consulate in Florence and a
sks to speak to Syd, who flies in to meet her. Tired of the lies and rationali
zing, Emily offers up Sloane in return for the CIA promise that he won't get t
he death-penalty. Sydney sympathizes with Emily, admitting she sees her as a m
aternal figure. Jack agrees to the condition.
Sloane, however, is ready to quit crime for Emily's sake. He tells Irina that
he wants to sell her all his assets, including his collection of Rimbaldi arti
facts. He tells Irina to meet him at the villa.
With Emily wired and the CIA surrounding the villa, Sloane arrives with Irina.
Irina retrieves the data while Sloane tells his wife that he loves her. Guilt
-ridden, she exposes the wire. With the CIA moving in, Sloane, understanding h
is wife's torment, asks her to escape with him. She chooses to run with him an
d they escape through an underground passage. Irina follows, as does a pursuin
g Sydney.
Syd catches up to Irina, who's vulnerable as she climbs a ladder to the surfac
e. Syd hesitates before shooting her mother in the arm. Irina drops the disk,
but makes it out. Armed with a sniper scope, Dixon spots Sloane and Emily runn
ing toward a helicopter, Irina following. He targets Sloane, fires, and hits ?
Emily. Irina grabs Sloane, who's grieving over Emily's body, and they escape
to the chopper. Sydney is devastated.
Back in Syd's apartment, Sydney and Vaughn are in bed when they hear Morse cod
e coming from the earrings that had once belonged to Irina. Sydney decrypts th
e message, which reads: TRUTH TAKES TIME.

41. Endgame
gs: Greg Grunberg (Agent Eric Weiss) Tracy Middendorf (Elsa Caplan) Yvonne Far
row (Diane Dixon)
Dixon apologizes to Sydney for taking the shot that killed Emily and says he h
as requested reassignment. In hiding, a vengeful Sloane, no longer interested
in the Rambaldi quest, tells Irina that he wants to know who murdered his wife
.
At the CIA, a restless Sydney suggests to Elsa Caplan that she be hypnotized,
for lack of any other leads. Elsa angrily refuses and is upset that Syd thinks
she isn't doing enough to find her husband Neil. Meanwhile, Irina gives Neil
an encrypted database of DNA taken from 10 million people, with the expectatio
n that he can find one specific person.
Working at home, Syd significantly gives Vaughn a drawer in her bureau. While
poring over records, Syd notices 3 calls to Caplan's house at odd hours and tr
aces them to Gregory Ivanov, a reporter working for an organization known to g
ive cover to Russian SVR agents. After Ivanov is put under surveillance, she d
iscovers that he has just received a fax that says "endgame." Later Elsa admit
s that Ivanov was her handler and that she married Caplan in order to monitor
him. She also implanted in his arm a cyanide pill, and the meaning of the fax
is that the pill has been activated and will kill her husband in 42 hours. She
tells Syd that she really does love Caplan.
According to Elsa, the pill has a tracking chip that's activated by a code tha
t she knows. If they can get a locating device from a blackmarket contact in M
oscow who deals in SVR contraband, they can enter the code and find Caplan. Ja
ck doesn't trust Elsa, given her similarities to Irina, and refuses to act on
the information even though it could lead them to Sloane. Syd secretly tells E
lsa that she'll get the device herself. Elsa gives her the code.
Caplan attacks Irina in an attempt to escape. Sloane shoots him in the leg and
threatens to waste him, but Irina says Caplan is still needed. Later, Sloane
contacts Francie with a request.
Dixon confers with his wife Diane about his reassignment. He wants to do it fo
r the sake of their marriage. She pledges her love and loyalty to him.
Jack has Syd trailed. She notices the agents and pulls into a drugstore where
a group of Sigma Gamma sorority girls shop and chat. As Syd phones Vaughn and
relays a coded message, she buys random items ? wrapping paper, tape, a wig. S
he ducks into a back room and, using the purchased goods, disguises herself as
a one of the girls, and joins them on the way out. Vaughn, meanwhile, decodes
Syd's message. She's going to Russia.
Jack confronts Vaughn. He intercepted the message and refuses to send Sydney b
ackup. In Moscow, Syd, disguised as a cowgirl, meets the blackmarket dealer in
an ersatz honky-tonk bar. Before he'll listen to her, she must prove her wort
h by riding the mechanical bull for 8 seconds, which she does. She then pays f
ifty thousand dollars for the locating device. Syd calls Vaughn and tells him
to meet her in Saria, Spain.
Francie, who has altered Will's phone, calls him at the CIA and asks him to pu
ll up a recipe on a Web site. As he does it, she somehow uses him to hack into
CIA computers and downloads the surveillance tape of Emily's death. Sloane th
en identifies Dixon as Emily's killer.
Vaughn and Syd arrive at an office building in Saria and overpower the guards.
They find Caplan, who says Sark is in the area. He also tells Syd that he's a
n NSA agent and he knows that his wife is a Russian operative. Sark eludes Vau
ghn as Syd extracts the suicide pill.
Back at the CIA, Caplan and Elsa reunite. Convinced of their love, Jack has gr
anted Elsa defector status. Syd says the data Caplan has decrypted gives them
leads on Sloane. Unswayed, Jack says that Syd will be transferred if she disob
eys him again. Marshall finds that the satellite footage from Tuscany has been
downloaded from the CIA computers ? and that it was an inside job.
At dinner with his wife Diane, Syd, and Vaughn, Dixon announces that he has re
scinded his transfer. The group leaves the restaurant and Diane gets into her
car to pickup the kids, saying she'll meet Dixon at home. As she drives off, t
he car explodes. Francie leaves the scene.

At Diane's funeral, Vaughn observes a grieving Dixon secretly pop pills. Later
, he tells Sydney that Dixon is self-medicating and should take time off befor
e going back to work.
Sark suggests that Sloane go to Panama City. Sloane seems distracted and decli
nes, but gives him a number to call to get what he needs while Irina lays low
in Cypress. Sloane admits that killing Diane was a mistake. He's going on leav
e, he says, and hands Sark the reins.
At the CIA, Marshall gives a presentation on Rambaldi for the benefit of NSA t
ask force leader Frederick Brendan and Rambaldi expert Kerry Bowman. In his 15
th century drawings, Marshall explains, Rambaldi drew a DNA profile of Panaman
ian named Proteo Di Regno. His DNA is the code key to decrypt page 94 of the R
ambaldi manuscript, which foretells certain apocalyptic events. One of them is
to happen in 48 hours and may involve Di Regno. Syd and Dixon are dispatched
to find him and bring him back.
But Syd and Dixon arrive in Panama City too late. Not only is Di Regno dead, h
is heart has been ripped out. They find that he has a Rambaldi tattoo. Syd als
o finds a latex glove, which yields a fingerprint of an assassin named Emilio
Vargas.
Back home, Vaughn requests that Dixon be taken out of the field. When Jack ref
uses, Vaughn does an end-around and calls Dr. Barnett. Marshall, meanwhile, ma
kes a love connection when he offers a Kleenex to Bowman, who's been moved to
tears by a Joni Mitchell song. They discuss Rambaldi and find they share commo
n interests. She asks him out for sushi. Va-va-voom.
Dixon and Syd find Vargas and defeat him in a swordfight. Dixon exhibits excep
tional brutality during the interrogation, but he gets info about Di Regno and
Sloane. Later, Dixon is called in to see Barnett at Vaughn's prompting. Dixon
says he used necessary force and that he needs to be involved in the hunt for
Sloane. She's not so sure, however. When Dixon confronts Syd later, she denie
s reporting him. Dixon reveals he's been taking Vicoden and that he must take
a drug test . Sydney is furious at Vaughn, but he stands by his actions.
Sloane appears in the Himalayas, trekking to a monastery on a remote mountaint
op. He finds the monk who sent him on the Rambaldi quest 30 years ago and vent
s his anger. The monk responds without fear.
Vaughn later apologizes to Syd; Dixon's drug test is negative. Syd tells Dixon
he passed the test, but Dixon reveals he switched the results and begs her no
t to tell Barnett. He's lost without Diane, he says. Syd covers for him when B
arnett calls her in. Meanwhile, Dixon contemplates suicide on a bridge.
The CIA tracks the heart to a truck delivering to a ship docked in Cartegena.
When Dixon and Syd are sent on the mission, Dixon promises that he can handle
the stress. At the dock, Syd and Dixon find the truck, but the heart has been
moved. Dixon brutally beats a dockworker who he thinks is hiding info. He reve
als a bomb and threatens to blow them all up unless he gets answers. Neither S
yd nor Vaughn can do anything for fear of setting the bomb off. As the timer w
inds down, the man tells Dixon that the heart is on the boat. The timer goes t
o zero, but Dixon was bluffing ? he had cut the timer cord. It's 10 minutes to
midnight, the prophecy has been thwarted ? or has it?
The monk knows that Emily died; it was necessary, he says. He presents Sloane
with a scroll. Sloane learns that his journey has just begun.
The CIA team opens the box and finds the "heart." Dixon apologizes to Syd for
putting her in a tough position. He says that he came to terms Diane's death w
hile on the bridge. Vaughn and Syd relax in a park. Vaughn says Dixon admitted
he switched the tests, and for that he'll get leniency. Syd reveals she knew
what Dixon had done and apologizes. They walk off, arm in arm.

43. Second Double
gs: Terry O'Quinn (Kendall) Michael Canavan (Special Agent McCain) Joel Swetow
(Jens) Robert Joy (Hans Jurgen)
Francie tells Sark that the CIA believes Will has been compromised. Irina, inf
ormed by Sark, refuses to allow Francie to kill Will but supports his set-up.
Francie hypnotizes Will and burns the mark of the second double on his retina.
Jack, suspecting Will of stealing footage of the Tuscany raid and of being the
second double, has him arrested for espionage. Jack then shows Syd and Vaughn
a digital recording found in Will's posession ? it's of them fooling around i
n Syd's apartment. Later, Syd tells a frightened Will that his ocular scan sho
ws an accumulation of proteins, convincing evidence that he's the double. Syd
asks him in what room they kissed but Will can't remember the specifics becaus
e Francie has selectively erased his memories. Syd then blows her cover to Fra
ncie, believing Francie needs to be protected.
When Will's fingerprints are found on the detonator that killed Diane, Dixon p
ays him a visit in the CIA holding cell. Will cannot convince Dixon of his ide
ntity and Dixon nearly chokes him to death. Will is soon trasferred to a priso
n camp on orders from the Department of Justice. Sark tells Francie that she'l
l have to kill Will in order to maintain her cover. Jack confronts Kendall, wh
o went behind his back to the DOJ to secure Will's transfer.
The CIA has located Dr. Hans Jurgen, the creator of the Project Helix equipmen
t, and believes he may know the identity of the second double. In a Berlin sex
club, Sydney, clad as a dominatrix, ties Jurgens up while Vaughn takes pictur
es. Under threat of blackmail, Jurgens swears he doesn't know the double's ide
ntity but says the DNA data is stored on a European server farm.
Will's convoy is attacked. As Dixon fights off the attackers, Will escapes. He
desperately calls Syd, who wants to help. Will, however, says he can't trust
her, that she's destroyed his life and he wishes they never met. Syd is still
determined to help and mentions the server farm. Will says his research showed
that Markovic owned land in Marseilles, and that might be the server location
.
Irina, speaking to a contact, asks for the blueprints to a government storage
facility. She then mentions to Sark that NSA security is based on a keycard. S
ark admits he authorized the assault on Will and that Will is now at large. He
suggests that if they get to Marseilles first, they could exchange the real d
ouble's DNA, which would prove Will's innocence, for the NSA keycard.
Jack determines Will's fingerprints were placed on the detonator after it was
wiped. He arranges for Syd to go to Marseilles behind Kendall's back, knowing
that he'll lose his his managerial position and be replaced by Kendall. Sloane
unexpectedly confronts Jack at a restaurant. He says he forgives Jack for his
SD-6 betrayal, to which Jack replies that their friendship ended when he recr
uited Syd. Sloane admits that was a mistake and asks Jack to partner with him
in the next phase of the Rambaldi quest ? and promises that Syd won't be invol
ved. Jack declines. Sloane, undeterred, says they will work together again.
In the Marseilles facility, Syd's objective is to secure a killswitch worn by
the security chief and prevent the deletion of data. Vaughn poses as a drunk,
allowing Syd to breach security. She finds that Irina has already killed the g
uard and possesses the killswitch. Irina tazers Syd and destroys the data. She
's copied and transferred it to a secure location, however, and will give it t
o Syd in return for a favor.
Will, believing he can trust only Francie, calls her. She picks him up and the
y drive off.

44. The Telling
gs: Terry O'Quinn (Kendall) Amanda Foreman (Carrie) Jonathan Banks (Brandon) G
reg Grunberg (Agent Eric Weiss)
At the CIA, a depressed Sydney confers with Vaughn. Marshall begins receiving
top-secret info ? Irina is uploading the double's DNA, as she said she would.
Syd then tells Will that he's been cleared because the downloaded DNA doesn't
match his, it's from one H.E. Doren.
While Syd is unwinding at an ice rink, Irina shows up to call in her favor. Sy
d attacks but Irina throws her down and reveals the whole of her plan. Sloane
had 23 Rambaldi artifacts, she says, and the CIA had 24. They had to be put to
gether in order to work so she proposed to Sloane that they work together to d
efeat The Alliance and raid the CIAs storage facility, which is in an NSA lab
in Nevada. Her favor ? she simply wants Syd to raid a warehouse in Zurich wher
e Sloane hides the Rambaldi artifacts.
Sark and Francie meet, and he calls her Allison. He says they can't reverse th
e doubling process because Markovic's lab has been destroyed. Sark says they'l
l get her back and they kiss.
Will investigates and finds the name Allison Georgia Doren on a list of childr
en involved in Project Christmas. She was supposed to have died in a car accid
ent as a child. Will calls Doren's parents and finds that her body was never i
dentified.
In Zurich, Syd and a team raid the warehouse. Rather than Rambaldi artifacts,
they find kitchen appliances stuffed in crates.
While transporting the Di Regno heart, Jack is attacked and captured by Sloane
, who reveals that in 24 hours the final Rambaldi machine, called "The Telling
," will be complete. He speaks almost mystically, referring to a "change." Jac
k, venomous, pities the void in Sloane's life. For his part, Sloane says they'
re still friends.
Irina calls Syd and says Sloane switched the crates. She doesn't know where he
is but Sark, hiding in a Stockholm club, does. Although Syd doesn't trust her
, she and Vaughn go and do, indeed, find Sark. Weasel that he is, Sark quickly
offers up Sloane, saying that he and Jack are in Mexico City. Later, from a C
IA prison cell, he directs them to Sloane's hideout.
The CIA team storms an office building and engages in a gunbattle. Dixon finds
Jack. Irina appears, and while she seems to be on Sydney's side, Syd runs aft
er her while Vaughn goes after Sloane. Syd confronts her on the skyscraper's r
ooftop and threatens to kill her. Irina says that Sloane believes he's been ch
osen to realize the word of Rambaldi. Only Syd can stop him, Irina says, becau
se she ? not Sloane ? is the chosen one of the prophecy. "I love you," Irina s
ays, and jumps. Holding on to a bungee cord, she shoots out windows and swings
back into the building to escape.
At home, Will finds Provacillium ? the medicine needed to counteract the build
up of proteins in the double's eyes ? at nearly the same time that Francie see
s Will's file on Allison Doren. Having finally discovered the truth, Will make
s a quick phone call to Syd and leaves a voicemail identifying Francie as the
second double. It's too late, though. Francie attacks Will and she stabs him.
He crumples to the floor.
Later, Syd comes home and retrieves her messages while relaxing in the den wit
h Francie. Keeping a poker face, Syd offers Francie a scoop of coffee ice crea
m. Francie accepts, and Syd knows ? the real Francie hated coffee ice cream. S
yd goes to her bedroom to get her gun but Francie confronts her before she can
. They engage in a no-holds-barred brawl. After much carnage, Syd finally shoo
ts Francie and collapses from exhaustion.
Syd wakes in Hong Kong wearing different clothes and appearing confused and wo
rried. She calls Kendall, who directs her to a safe house. She arrives there a
nd notices a scar on her stomach. Vaughn arrives and appears out of sorts. He
says Will is okay. He's shaken, he says, because he thought she was dead. He's
come back to explain. Sydney notices that he's wearing a wedding ring. Reluct
antly he tells her that she's been missing for almost two years.
