"My name is Sydney Bristow." "Seven years ago, I was recruited by a secret branch of the CIA called SD-6." "I was sworn to secrecy, but I couldn't keep it from my fiancé, and when the head of SD-6 found out, he had him killed." "That's when I learned the truth." "SD-6 is not part of the CIA." "I'd been working for the very people" "I thought I was fighting against." "So I went to the only place that could help me take them down." "Now I'm a double agent for the CIA, where my handler is a man named Michael Vaughn." "Only one other person knows the truth about what I do." "Another double agent inside SD-6." "Someone I hardly know." "My father." "I have this source who told me about you." "I don't know where he lives, where he works." "But he knows." "He knows everything." "I'm proud of you." "What?" "Of me?" "I've worked with a lot of people." "You make it look easy." "The Alliance knows you pursued Khasinau." "They're going to want to see that your priorities are in order." "Are you suggesting that I allow you to kill my wife to enhance my standing within The Alliance?" "You'll meet with Sark in Denpasar, disguised as a representative from the Raslak Jihad." "I'll cover you while you broker the deal with Sark for the counterfeit Rambaldi solution." "Sydney, it's Dixon." "He's here." "Hands in the air!" "Take position over there, but cover fire only." "I don't want Bristow hurt." "Subtitle Added By MohammaD [shock] Season 1, Episode 21 [Rendezvous]" "Sark's got the real ampule!" "I'm on him." "Head for the extraction point." "Cover me!" "Freeze!" "Turn around." "Hands on your head." "I don't want to hurt you." "Freelancer, are you at the extraction point yet?" "Eagle Eye, I've got the ampule." "I need a 20 on Freelancer." "You cannot leave Sark." "Damn it, where is she?" "Go." "Go!" "Hello?" "You said you were back on the story." "Why haven't you published?" "I need something from you." "You're going to tell your contact you want a meeting to take place at your contact's discretion." "Why would he lead me to you, knowing you'd flush him out?" "He told you my name so you'd realize my threat was a bluff, that I'd never hurt Sydney, even if you continued your investigation." "He didn't expect you'd have the guts to contact me." "I'll assume that's a compliment." "When you ask for the meeting, your contact will refuse." " What do I say?" " You say..." "I know something you'll be interested in." "I know about The Circumference." " What's The Circumference?" " It's not your concern." "I got to know what I'm talking about." "You tell him if he wants to know more, he'll have to meet." "Look, just meet with me because I tell you," "I'm sick of this cloak-and-dagger crap." "Very well, Mr. Tippin." "You'll be contacted with instructions." "I'm sure I speak for our distinguished friend from Los Angeles when I say we appreciate your coming on such short notice." "I know it reflects your understanding that the business before us today is as difficult as it is vital to the very survival of our organization." "I understand you have some prepared remarks." "Please." "Thank you, Ramon." "Before I begin, should we wait until all the other members have arrived?" "That won't be necessary." "I feel rather awkward sitting here asking you to allow my wife to die of cancer." "Arvin, the agreement is simple." "People with any unauthorized information regarding SD-6 or any SD cell must be eliminated." "My wife is being eliminated... by cancer." "The pending bone-marrow biopsy reports will merely inform us as to the number of days she has left, days that she will spend in an SD-6 hospital, where information can be contained." "Should you choose to intervene, naturally, I'll be forced to resign." "Something I believe you should factor into your decision." "Now, in the past 12 years, SD-6 has made for The Alliance over $400 million in arms sales alone, plus another $300 million from various transactions with Ineni Hassan." "In addition, we have acquired more Rambaldi artifacts than all the SD cells combined." "Your service to The Alliance is unquestioned... with one exception." "We know you had our colleague Jean Briault assassinated." "You know about Poole, don't you?" "That's why he's not here." "You know that Khasinau had him in his pocket." "Our former colleague has, under duress, acknowledged his connection with Mr. Khasinau, and his manipulation of you that led to Briault's unfortunate passing." "Faced with a breach of this magnitude, we have re-evaluated our position regarding peaceful coexistence with Khasinau." "We know you have advocated a war with Khasinau." "The Alliance is now fully prepared to engage in such an action." "I am relieved and gratified." "He is an enemy worthy of our combined resources." "You must have a vision of how this is supposed to play out." "I am assuming that your plan ends in assassination." "Yes, that's right." "Assassination of Khasinau." "Then your plan must change." "If we abduct Khasinau, or, worse yet, kill him, we will never have an opportunity to learn what it is he is after or how he works, or with whom." "Put away your need for revenge." "Find out what you can." "Bring us substantial intel, and we will take your wife's situation under advisement." "Hey." "Miss me?" "So, how was..." "Palm Springs." "Perfect." "Right, right." "The desert." "I actually read a book." "You didn't go with anyone?" "Will and Francie both had work." "It was good, actually, being alone." "I needed time to decompress." "Hmm." "We've reacquired Khasinau's trail." "We have?" "Mm-hmm." "We apprehended Sark in Denpasar." "Turns out there was a second ampule." "We intercepted a communiqué detailing Sark's plan to buy it from the Raslak Jihad." "Did you get the ampule?" "No." "Sark didn't have it on him." "Hmm." "I'm gonna read the op-tech report." "Catch up on what I missed." "Sydney." "For the record, I did miss you." "Oh, Mr. Bristow." "I'm just here to give Sydney a ride to work." "Sure." "Come on in." "I've got to go." "Bye." "Bye, Francie." "Kretchmer briefed me on Denpasar." "It was a sloppy operation." "Your pursuit of your mother is clouding your judgment." "And at the moment, I can't protect you." "I haven't regained Sloane's trust." "He hasn't reinstated me to active duty." "I'm not even privy to his briefings." "Then you haven't heard that SD-6 got Sark." "While this might not seem like a particularly good day for you, you'd be surprised." "We have people here trained in torture." "And they are so good," "I sometimes take them for granted." "But I'm not in the mood for torture." "No, there's been enough torture lately." "We've been somewhat curious about your employer." "Alexander Khasinau." "Well, you're in good company." "Yes." "But we have you." "Indeed." "I need to find your employer." "You raise an interesting point." "Given my current state of affairs, it doesn't seem as if my affiliation with Mr. Khasinau is long for this Earth." "We both know you're a very clever young man, so we don't need to play games." "You're valuable to me." "You can help me find Khasinau." "I'm valuable to you, obviously." "I understand I am in no position to demand anything, but for the record, I'm far more comfortable talking over a glass of Chateau Petreuse." "'82." "Why does that guy have such a guilty look on his face?" "Yesterday, Ginger told Rod that Gavin was Ruby's pimp, but Rod didn't even know that Ruby was a prostitute." " Who's Gavin?" " Ruby's father." " Ew." " Right." " Will." " Huh?" "Hi." "Oh, what happened to Ruby's dad?" "Where are you?" "I just got this work thing." "Listen carefully, Mr. Tippin." "I'm about to give you instructions on where to meet." "They must be followed to the letter." "Guess who just tore me a new one." "Devlin." "Now ask me why." "Why?" "I took a bullet for you today." "He wanted to know why you left Sark when he wasn't secured." "I said I told you to, I misread the feed from the satellite," "I thought the recovery team was nearby." " Thank you." " I lied to save your ass." "That's what partners do for each other." " I said thank you." " I don't want your thanks." "I want it to stop." "Sydney's my responsibility." "I'm not gonna trivialize your relationship by calling it a crush." "But whatever it is, it's starting to affect me." "If that sounds selfish to you," "I was hoping to retire fully vested." "I know you genuinely care for her." "I do, too." "That we have been sworn not to cross." "We're about a mile past that." "I don't know how to be Sydney's handler without making it personal." "Figure out a way." "I was only half serious when I asked for the Petreuse." "I just assumed, after what Khasinau's done." "Sending men into this facility, murdering some of your men." "That, regardless of what I said, you'd split my belly with a hunting knife." "Do you think that's the kind of activity the CIA engages in?" "Not the CIA." "Khasinau sent you to Moscow to negotiate with K-Directorate." "He trusts you." "You know things." "I suppose I better know things." "However, to be clear, my employer hardly tells me everything." "Mmm." "We will collaborate, you and I." "You will lead me to Khasinau." "Understood?" "May I?" "Understood?" "Understood." "As it turns out, our Mr. Sark is a very cooperative young man." "We have received independent confirmation for the intel he's provided thus far." "It seems that Mr. Sark's loyalty to Khasinau disappeared the moment that he was kidnapped." "So, what's the move?" "Sark wasn't scheduled to make contact with Khasinau until Thursday." "They've arranged to meet at a club in Paris that Khasinau owns." "That's where you're going." "Is this an abduction?" "No." "Khasinau is expecting the ampule." "According to Sark, Khasinau needs the solution in it in order to read a Rambaldi document that contains text written in Rambaldi's now-familiar invisible ink." "This Rambaldi page will be at the Paris location." "Sark will be provided with a counterfeit ampule, which he will pass on to Khasinau." "Your job is to steal this Rambaldi page from his office and replace it with a counterfeit." "I don't understand." "We've been hunting Khasinau for months." "We're gonna be in the same room as the guy, and you want us to go after a document?" "Let's just get the son of a bitch." "Sydney, no one wants Khasinau more than I do." "No one." "Sark has provided us with detailed plans of the club, its operation, and location of the vault." "Luckily, an employee of the club is about to call in sick." "It's been arranged for you to take her place." "Marshall will provide you with the op tech." "Um..." "Oh, how's your voice?" "Why?" "I was contacted." " Were you followed?" " No." "Tell me what precautions you took." "I didn't use my blinkers, I avoided the inner lanes," "I circled the block every three miles." "What did your contact say?" " He wants to meet." " Good." "You'll be picked up by men in a van." "They'll be armed." "You'll be blindfolded and taken to another location." "I know what that feels like." "But they will not hurt you." "They need you." "They're gonna take me to Deep Throat." "Or someone who works for him." "There's a transmitter sewn into the lining." "What if they frisk me?" "It's too small to be detected." " What were the terms?" " Terms?" "Time, place, oral or visual tell?" "There's a street corner." "I'm supposed to be reading a local paper." " When?" " Tomorrow night, 7:00." "Where?" "Paris." "Tell me my countermission is to grab Khasinau." " It's not." " Well, it should be." "Nobody wants me to take him into custody?" "SD-6 must not get the Rambaldi document." "In transit, you'll replace what Dixon took from the vault." "Just switch the pages?" "Yes." "These are counterfeit." "Do you have questions about the mission?" "No, I do not." "Vaughn, what's going on?" "Nothing." "Do you have any questions?" "I want to know what's going on with you." "You're acting not like yourself." "I'm fine." "But I should go." "Good luck." "Thanks." "I couldn't go through this without you." "Dr. Levin and I discussed your pain management." "Arvin..." "I don't want to be here in the hospital when..." "I want to be home." "Promise me." "I promise." "Bonsoir." "Bonsoir." "Très bien." "Madame?" "Madame?" "You could say it's a friendship ring." "Something to signify platonic intimacy between a guy and a girl, which people say is impossible, that a guy and a girl would..." "We're friends." "Right." "Okay, this actually is a cardiac event recorder." "Khasinau's vault uses biometric access control." "No code, no key, nothing." "So this will detect heartbeat signatures." "A unique one because Khasinau suffers from fibrillation." "What you want to do is put this on or on top of his thorax or anywhere that you might get a pulse, and then it will transmit the ECG data to Dixon's cellphone, who will use that to fool the biometric sensor." "Voilà." "Open sesame." "Merci." "Take this." "What's this?" "A time-release methamphetamine to counteract the effects of sodium pentothal." "Sodium pentothal." "Like a truth serum?" "They're gonna give me that?" "I would." "Great." "Don't worry." "I'll be monitoring you the whole time." "You have your cover story straight?" "They're gonna kill me." "If they wanted that, you would have been dead." "They need you because you're gonna publish the story and because you know about The Circumference." "I wouldn't let you do this if I thought the odds were in favor of your murder." "Great." "I'll have a recording of your interrogator's voice, possibly of your contact's, if he's foolish enough to make an appearance." "Either way, we have a lead to trace." "Ah, Mr. Sark." "Mr. Khasinau." "Ah." "I hear you have some troubles in Denpasar." "It's good to have you back safe." "Thank you." "Please." "Can I see the ampule?" "Shall we proceed to my office?" "Make sure you keep Khasinau at his table, and in case you have any thoughts of warning him," "I would advise against it." "We'll be taking precautions." "I took the liberty of ordering." "Yes." "Okay, good idea." "Yes, we celebrate your success first." "You" "Made me leave my happy home" "You took my love, and now you're gone" "Since I fell for you" "My life" "Brings such misery and pain" "I know I'll never be the same" "Since I fell for you" "It's too bad" "And it's too sad" "But I'm in love with you" "Almost got it, Syd." "A couple more seconds." "Get in the van, Mr. Tippin." "All right, I got it." "I'm heading to the vault, Syd." "I" "Well, I guess I'll never see the light" "I get the blues most every night" "Since I fell for you" "No, no." "We have the young man from Los Angeles." "Mm-hmm." "Proceed." "Come." "We're good, Syd." "I'll meet you out back in two minutes." "Your arm, please." "So, are you the person I've been talking to?" "He will be along shortly." "First, we have questions." "What's that, sodium pentothal?" "Yes." "So that our conversation will go smoothly." "Tell me, Mr. Tippin, how did you find out about The Circumference?" "I heard about it." "From who?" "The name, Mr. Tippin." "The name?" "Okay." "Aah!" "What the hell's going on?" "How did you get here?" "Will, listen to me." "How did you get here?" "What the hell's happening?" "I was following a story." "We have to move." "Come on." "Come on." "I can't get to you." "I'll see you at the extraction point." "I'll meet you in 30 minutes." "Vitroly!" "Stop!" "We're going out the front!" " Get down." " Okay." "Will!" " Get in!" " Oh, Jack, thank God!" " He came here with you?" "!" " Get down!" "It's Bristow." "I need a full identity switch and escort." "How could you bring him?" "For his protection, we should not discuss this." "There are considerations you do not understand!" "Who the hell are you people?" "This one has no field experience." "He needs a makeover." "Go with him." "It's okay." "Which part of this is okay?" " Take off your clothes." " What?" "Now!" "Pay attention." "Your name is Patrice Lafont." "You were born in Nantes, where you live until you were 5." "Okay." "How could you bring him into this?" "He was looking into Danny's death." "Sloane found out." "I had to keep Security Section from executing him." "Why didn't you tell me?" "Someone, possibly in Intelligence, contacted him." "Very highly placed." "They've been steering him toward SD-6." "They told him about me." "We're pursuing a lead to track his source." "No one from Intelligence was in that club." "Those people interrogating Will work for Khasinau." "He wants to bring down SD-6." "He tried and failed with Cole." "Articles in the press would be equally effective." "None of this changes the fact that you were using Will." "He was already being used." "It's no coincidence out of all the reporters, he was chosen." "What are you saying?" "For some reason, Khasinau is trying to expose us." "You cannot tell anyone about this." "Not anyone." "Do you promise me?" "Okay." "I'll see you at home." "The Daniels are planning to fly out to visit next week." "I think that's a very good idea, sweetheart." "Bold of me to make plans for next week, don't you think?" "Come on, honey." "Arvin, you have to keep your sense of humor." "Yeah, I suppose I do." "Honey?" "Are you there?" "Yes, Emily, I am." "Listen, darling, I need to take this phone call." "All right?" "See you soon, my love." "Yes." "Yes, I will." "Alain." "Nice work in Paris." "You have deprived Khasinau of a valuable prize." "Yes, thank you." "The Alliance has decided due to your wife's illness, her condition, your request has been approved." "Your wife will be spared." "Base ops, this is Freelancer." "Freelancer?" "Syd." "I want to ask you something, and I need you to give me a straight answer." "Of course." "I know your arm is hurt." "How'd it happen?" "I was hiking in the San Jacinto mountains, and I lost my footing on a scree, and I suddenly found myself in this rockslide." "I gashed it pretty bad." "You should have told me." "We're supposed to let each other know about our injuries." "Full disclosure." "Full disclosure." "Sark must have tipped off Khasinau." "It's the only way to explain why his men came after me." "Well, that complication notwithstanding, the mission was a success." "But we lost Sark." "When Sark arrived at the club and Khasinau's team failed to detect a tracking device, he must have thought that I was bluffing." "Now, the truth is that I was prepared for such a possibility." "When he asked for a bottle of wine," "I had Security Section lace it with a nonlethal dose of a radioactive isotope." "We have a geosynchronous satellite in orbit designed to detect particle decay." "We have been tracking Sark since he left the club." "Where is he?" "He's on a transatlantic flight, hopefully with Khasinau." "It's too soon to project his destination, but when he lands, we'll vector a team to his position." "That's all." "You can go." "Sydney, stay for a minute, would you?" "Emily told me that you visited her at the hospital last week and that you had a nice conversation." "Yes, we did." "I know some of the things she said indicated her awareness of what we do here." "And that usually, such a breach would proscribe a deliberate course of action." "You know that better than anyone." "Because she's not likely to last the week..." "I was able to sustain a reprieve." "I'm glad." "Yes, I knew you would be." "That's why I wanted to thank you for being such a good friend to Emily." "And to me." "It was your duty to report Emily to Security Section." "You didn't." "And that's more than I did for you." "Tell me you're not feeling sympathy for Sloane." "No." "It's just the first time I've seen him express regret for what he did to Danny." "He would kill you if he knew we were having this conversation." "You're right." "I read your debrief." "So did Devlin." "We'll deal with the loss of the Rambaldi document later, but first, you should know that Office of Securities is drawing up a contingency plan to keep Will Tippin safe." "What kind of contingencies?" "Witness protection." "Worst case, recruitment." "Absolutely not." "I can't believe I'm hearing this." "Hopefully, it won't come to this." "You're not bringing him into this life." "He is in this life now, whether you like it or not." "He is my friend." "He is one of my best friends." "I understand that." "No, you don't." "You get to tell your friends that you work for the CIA, while I go home and look desperately for a tiny moment that I can be honest with anyone about anything." "Now that Will knows the truth... he's never gonna trust me again." "You should have seen his face in Paris." "It was like he was looking at a stranger." "But he wasn't." "He was looking at you." "Maybe for the first time." "He was looking at you." "What is this place?" "We're in the middle of L.A." "You have places like this everywhere?" "I told you not to pursue this story." "I know you did." "Danny was killed because he knew." "Because I told him." "They were gonna kill me, too." "That's why you asked for my sister's passport." "I know that you have questions, and I would like to answer them, but I can't." "I am so afraid that you know anything about me at all." "I only went after this story because of Danny." "You didn't have answers as to who killed the man you loved, and I just couldn't stand that." "It broke my heart." "I wanted to help." "But you got to know this." "I'm not gonna ask you a thing." "I am not gonna ask anyone anything." "You never have to worry about that." "You promise me." "Because Danny just left a message on the machine." "Syd, I promise you." "Never." "I was thinking on the flight back what your life's like what you have to go through, what you've had to keep from your friends, how hard that must be." "Syd, I don't love you because of what you do or what you don't do." "I just love you." "Thank you." "Thank you." "You saved my life." "Sir, Mr. Sark has landed in Geneva." "How long before you can have a team?" "One hour." "Do we have authorization to apprehend Sark?" "Yeah." "You have it." "Guys, is there a food situation?" "Is there any chance I can get something to eat?" "Like a burger or something?" "I'm easy." "I am sorry to keep you both waiting." "It's okay, Doctor." "I apologize for being underprepared." "I just got the tests back." "I thought you'd want to know." "The pain we suspected might indicate a recurrence of the lymphoma appears to be due to the rapid regrowth of your bone-marrow elements." "That's wonderful." "Isn't it?" "In fact... the lymphoma cells appear to be decreasing significantly." "Emily, you're entering remission." "Now, these are only preliminary tests." "Your blood panels will tell us more, but..." "Arvin." "Oh, God." "Oh." "Alpha team position." "Sloane wants Sark alive." "There's nothing here but medical equipment." "Blood bags, pump." "The son of a bitch had a transfusion." "Oh, yeah." "30 minutes or less." "Brought To You By MohammaD [shock Movies] To Be Continued..."
