"Sydney, time's up." "Okay." "Then I'll just... finish my little essay." "Thank you." "SYDNEY:" "I'm sure I got a "D."" "DANNY:" "You didn't get a "D."" "I think I got a "D." I think I got a 64 maybe." "Syd, you've never gotten a "D."" "I've gotten a "D."" "When have you gotten " "High school." "Home Ec." "Yeah." "What did you do?" "Embroider something on a T-shirt?" "Sweatshirt." "That was the assignment." "The word was obscene, right?" "About the teacher?" "That guy was a sexist pig." "I deserved a scholarship for that." "Wait, hold on a sec." "This time, I deserve a "D."" "I didn't prepare." "I didn't have enough time." "We've had this conversation." "Quit the bank if the part-time thing isn't working." "What are you doing?" "I can't go through double-shift again holding on to this." "Did you get the Dave Matthews tickets?" "Will you stand up, please?" "I wanted to wait." "Maybe do it at the weekend, but I couldn't." "What's going on?" "Remember our first date?" "The bowling alley?" "The loud guy?" "Oh, God..." "Build me up" "Buttercup, baby" "Then you bring me down" "And mess me around, and then, worst of all" "You never call, baby, when you say you will" "But I love you still, I need you" "More than anyone, darling" "I know that I'm yours from the start" "Build me up, buttercup" "Don't break my heart" "Shut up!" "Sydney..." "I can't tell you how much I hope you'll marry me." "Despite what I just did." "Yes." "Yes, of course." "I love you." "SYDNEY:" "Oh, Fran." "FRANClE:" "I cry at everything." "Oh, let me see it again." "Oh, honey, it's beautiful." "I know." "I'm getting married." "You're getting married." "So, did you tell Will yet?" "Meeting him at the track after the bank if you want to come." "No, thanks." "I got 300 orthopedic surgeons to feed and no desire to exercise." "What about your dad?" "I haven't told him yet." "I don't want him to ruin this." "Not this, you know?" "Well, yeah." "I think you're right." "If you call him, he's gonna find some way to let you down." "Yeah, I know." "Your mom would be so happy for you." "You know that?" "She would." "Maybe I should call my dad." "You are schizophrenic." "Unless you're talking about importing airplane parts... that man's got nothing to say." "Let him find out when he gets the invitation." "It's exporting airplane parts." "And he already knows." "Danny called him to ask permission." "Danny called your dad?" "Your dad?" "And how did that go?" "Yeah." "Oh, Mr. Bristow." "Yes." "Hi, it's Danny Hecht." "Sydney's boyfriend." "Is Sydney all right?" "Yeah." "She's fine." "Nothing to worry about." "I'm calling because I'm planning on asking Sydney to marry me." "I was hoping to get your approval." "Danny, let me ask you a question." "Sure." "How well do you know my daughter?" "We've been dating for two years." "If you feel the need to ask me about this scenario..." "I have a sense you don't know Sydney." "Sir, I love your daughter." "I want to marry her." "That's why I'm calling." "First of all, Danny, the truth is, this is just a courtesy call." "Like when you say to your neighbor," ""We're having a loud party on Saturday night, if that's all right with you."" "What you really mean is, "We're having a loud party on Saturday night."" "Mr. Bristow " "Sydney doesn't give a damn what my opinion is." "What interests me is that you do." "It's just a custom to call the father." "That's all this is." "Then, I'll tell you what." "I may become your father-in-law." "That's just fine." "But I will not be used as part of a charming little anecdote you tell your friends at cocktail parties so they can see what a quaint old-fashioned guy Danny really is." "Are we clear?" "Yes, sir." "Good." "Then welcome to the family." "I've been accused, I've been abused" "Sometimes misused, and, yes, confused" "Hey." "You're in late." "Sorry." "Executive elevator." "Oh, come on, man." "Drop me off at 12." "All right." "Damn." "Is Zachery feeling better?" "Much, yeah." "Thanks." "See ya." "Like a tick from an awful season" "Under the gun, under the gun" "I'm swimming through the sun" "And I ain't tripping on a thing" "Under the gun, under the gun" "I'm swimming through the sun" "And I ain't tripping on a thing" "God, I hate this." "I was just saying, if only Ramadan Abadallah Shallah were still teaching in Tampa." "No, not my casework." "These new headsets keep pinching my ear." "Oh, give it to me." "Any word from Declan?" "Not since Tehran." "I keep telling myself he's just fine." "He's done this before." "Disappeared for days." "What's going on?" "Nothing." "What?" "You've got a glow." "I don't have a glow." "Yeah." "Look at that." "Come on, Sloane's waiting." "There's no glow." "ls she glowing?" "Big-time." "You hear that?" "Yes." "Better." "Good." "SLOANE:" "Oskar Muller was killed last month." "He was riding a mo-ped through Berlin and was hit by an ambulance, of all things." "We have kept our eye on this guy for quite some time." "He fancied himself a sort of modern-day alchemist." "His l.Q. was recorded as one of the highest on the planet." "Then again, he was riding a mo-ped." "Between the multinationals, there was a frenzy to recover Muller's notebooks and experiment." "None were found." "At least not by the West." "Cultural affairs building, Taipei," "Hsincheng North Road, section two." "This building is also an FTL cover station." "We received word two weeks ago that one of Muller's plans surfaced here." "Who's the mole?" "Antonio Quintero." "This is his last transmission." "Uplink was on the 15th." "Brush pass was scheduled for Tuesday." "Quintero did not show." "What is that?" "Hieratic?" "Good try." "That's what I thought." "Actually, it's demotic." "Taking notes in ancient languages was just one of Muller's quirks." "He had a few." "Quintero's been burned?" "We don't know." "The cultural ambassador is throwing a reception at the building's annex next Tuesday." "You're flying to Taiwan on Monday." "You're employed by Modira Plastics." ""Looking for a new manufacturing plant."" "Based on Quintero's notes, you'll case the building's east wing." "Measurements, lock specs, I/O. The whole nine." "Locate the lab where the plans are being held and come home." "That's all." "No retrieval." "We can't risk it." "Marshall, you go." "Yeah." "Thank you." "Okay." "How's everyone?" "Good?" "All right, the first thing I have here is a..." "Well, it looks like a lighter, right?" "It's something that you would" "light your cigarette or cigar or something." "Actually, it's an R.F. scrambler." "It disrupts any video for a 420-yard radius." "If I were to hit this switch right here, the whole block would be in a complete panic." "What the hell, right?" "There it is." "See, everyone's... totally freaking out." "It's like, what's going on?" "My computer isn't on." "The DVD is not work" "And we're back now, okay." "Now, I got a 20-volt cell in here, so... you only get four minutes a charge, so, um... you want to get in and do your thing, then get out." "Um, uh, four minutes and two seconds, and you're f-- screwed." "Um, okay." "Uh, the other thing I got here " "You're gonna like this." "It's something I'm really excited about." "Looks like lipstick." "Something that you do for your lips in the woman's refresh or something." "But this is the amazing thing." "It actually takes pictures, and it measures space in three axes from one vantage point." "It assembles images based on GPS and creates a centimeter-accurate blueprint of any building." "Oh, it's got a camera and a short-pulse laser plus a grid analyzer." "And I got it to 42 snaps right now." "But I want to get it to 47, 'cause... that's a prime number." "You might think this is a simple reconnaissance op, but until we find out what happened to Quintero, we need to assume that the enemy is waiting." "I want you to do us a favor." "Come back." "Good run." "Thanks." "So, where were you last night?" "I called you." "Oh, yeah." "I don't want to talk about it." "My sister set me up on a blind date." "Was it good?" "For the date, it was, yes." "You didn't like her?" "I didn't like her so much, I don't like my sister anymore." "That's the problem with having siblings live with you." "They try to get you to meet people that you aren't supposed to meet in life." "Why was the date so bad?" "Her favorite movie of all time..." "Are you ready for this?" ""Pretty Woman."" "So?" "I'm sure that's a lot of people's favorite movie." "Yeah, that's probably true." "Congratulations." "Of all time?" "That includes, like..." "Well, every other movie ever made." "All of them." "Did you see "Lawrence of Arabia's"" "playing at the Egyptian tonight?" "Yeah, I did." "You want to go?" "I'd love to, but..." "Danny's working late, right?" "I'm taking him dinner at the hospital." "We can go to a late one." "Come on, it's only playing till Thursday." "We're getting married." "Look at that." "You're wearing a " "You're wearing a ring." "I didn't even " "Syd, that's " "Congratulations." "Thanks." "Do you want to get a couple more laps?" "No, I'm done." "I'm gonna get a couple more." "I had a dream" "Strange it may seem" "It was my perfect day" "Open my eyes" "I realize" "This is my perfect day" "Hope you never grow old" "I called Todd." "They haven't rented that place yet... if you want to go look at it." "It's impossible, isn't it?" "One day there's gonna be a baby in there." "My patients would love that." "Knowing that their doctor still can't believe women can actually get pregnant." "Forever young" "I hope you stay" "Forever young" "Get undressed." "I work for the ClA." "I'm an operations officer for the ClA." "Trouble" "Oh, trouble, set me free" "I have seen your face" "And it's too much, too much for me" "SYDNEY." "It was during the fall of my freshman year." "A man approached me." "He told me that the U.S. government might be interested in talking to me... about a job." "When I asked, "Why me?"" "All he told me was that I fit a profile." "I didn't feel like I belonged anywhere." "Even at college." "And I needed the money anyway." "So I met with him." "And they offered me a job." "Trouble" "A job with the ClA?" "Not exactly." "It's..." "It's a covert branch." "This is crazy." "Okay, so covert branch." "Then what?" "After the first month," "I asked if I could test for agent training." "The test was easy." "They said I was a natural." "Maybe I was, because..." "I advanced quickly." "It was exciting." "This isn't real." "Danny..." "Since my mother died..." "I've always hoped that I'd find someone to give my life meaning." "That person is you." "I just met the agency first." "I can't quit." "Syd, I love you." "But this?" "I've just got to figure out what I'm thinking." "You can't tell anyone about this." "About what I do." "No one." "Danny, I'm not kidding." "I got it." "I need to walk." "I'll call you tonight." "I've got my trip." "San Diego?" "I'll call you when I get back." "Be careful." "You know, Sloane doesn't like it." "That you're still in grad school." "I know." "He'd rather none of us have a life outside." "I'm not giving it up." "You all right?" "How long have you and Diane been married?" "1 1 -- No, 12 years." "Damn." "You love her?" "Of course I do." "And you've never said a thing?" "About what?" "About what we do." "Diane is married to an investment analyst who loves his job." "I'm protecting her from the truth." "And you don't..." "You don't feel like you're lying to her?" "If there's one rule you don't break... that's the rule you don't break." "It must just get easier after." "Hey, this is Sydney." "And this is Danny." "I don't live here." "SYDNEY:" "Leave me a message, and I'll call you back." "DANNY:" "Thank you." "She meant to say "thank you."" "You're not there." "Well, I know you're not there." "You're not there or in San Diego." "You could be anywhere doing...anything." "DANNY:" "Which is the crux of the issue." "Hey!" "Can I live like this?" "Not knowing where or why or when?" "Aye." "DANNY:" "Can I live in the dark?" "And the answer... the only answer I came up with, Syd, was was yes." "Syd, I don't care." "The whole world's a nightmare anyway." "It's all dangerous, no matter what we do." "I couldn't live with myself... saying goodbye to you because of risk." "It's all a risk." "I..." "But the kids thing -- that, we have to talk about, because I want kids." "I love kids." "But maybe there is a way out... 'cause people aren't spies forever." "At some time... people have to be able to say that they used to be spies." "I miss you, Syd." "Come home." "Yeah?" "Who?" "What else?" "Yeah, well, get me the audio right away." "I'm so lost." "Oh, my God." "I was looking for the bathroom." "There really should be signs in English." "I don't know if you're in charge of that, but " "This area's restricted." "Please, I was just going to the bathroom." "You don't know my boss, Ron." "If he found out that I had been drinking and had gotten in trouble..." "I swear to you, I will lose my job." "I swear it." "Restroom is this way." "Thank you." "Bless your heart." "I like your tie." "We have a breach." "It appears that Daniel Hecht has become aware of Sydney's affiliation with the agency." "You understand what that means." "Yes, I understand." "I appreciate you telling me yourself." "I'm sorry, Jack." "Don't be." "You know me well enough." "You know where my loyalty lies." "Mr. Gonzalez." "Mr. Dixon." "Where's Bristow?" "Looking for this?" "Looking for her." "Where is she?" "She left me at the gate." "Left you at the gate?" "Said she was grabbing a taxi." "Why?" "What's the problem?" "SYDNEY:" "Hey, I'm back." "I didn't even go home first." "I took a cab " "What did you do?" "I might ask you the same question." "Security section became aware of the breach and performed their function." "You're familiar with the codes of conduct, Agent Bristow." "You knew those codes applied to you even as you put at risk the lives of every man and woman working at this agency." "Danny wasn't a risk." "He was just a man." "He was a doctor." "He was just " "You listen to me." "Information about this agency must be treated like a virus." "There is only one response to a virus." "That response is containment." "You put us into a compromised situation." "Even though I despise that countermeasure, we had " "Stop saying "we."" "Stop talking about the agency." "You killed the man I love." "No, Agent Bristow." "You did." "Let me out." "I can't imagine how difficult this is for you." "Let...me...out." "McCullough needs to see you." "See... you're a risk now, too." "McCULLOUGH:" "Are you an operative of SD-6?" "SYDNEY:" "Yes." "How long have you been an operative of SD-6?" "Seven years." "What is your identification and classification number with SD-6?" "My identification and classification number..." "Have you ever been so entertained by the cleverness of a crook that you hoped" "he'd get away with it?" "No." "Did you reveal information regarding SD-6 to Daniel Hecht?" "Do you ever lie?" "What is your relation to Daniel Hecht?" "...the covert branch of the ClA." "Do you believe that if a person is arrested for stealing and several others have helped him... he should reveal his helpers?" "Yes." "Wow." "Wow, wow, wow." "I don't know what you put in that stuff." "Wow." "I'd rather not make this too painful." "Me too." "Thanks." "Glad we're on the same page." "That's good." "Whoa." "Who are you working for?" "I'll not ask you again." "Okay." "Get a pen." "Write this down." "E..." "M..." "E..." "T..." "I..." "B." "You got that?" "Yes." "Okay, now reverse it." "I've got bad news for you, man." "I am your worst enemy." "I've got nothing to lose." "That's not exactly true." "You have teeth." "priest:" "These questions resonate even louder when we lose somebody to a senseless act of violence." "But we hear them." "Echoing in our minds." "Why?" "When the night shows" "The signals grow on radios" "All the strange things" "They come and go as early warnings" "Stranded starfish have no place to hide" "Still waiting for the swollen Easter tide" "There's no point in direction" "We cannot even choose a side" "Took the old track" "The hollow shoulder across the waters" "On the tall cliffs" "They were getting older" "Sons and daughters" "The jaded underworld was riding high" "Waves of steel hurled metal at the sky" "And as the nail sunk in the cloud" "The rain was warm and soaked the crowd" "Hey, this is Sydney." "And this is Danny." "I don't live here." "SYDNEY:" "Leave me a message, and I'll call you back." "DANNY:" "Thank you." "She meant to say "thank you."" "We will say goodbye to flesh and blood" "If again the seas are silent" "In any still alive" "Hey, this is Sydney." "Leave me a message." "Thank you." "Drink up, dreamers" "You're running dry" "She loved a man... and she lost him." "This isn't a new theme in literature... but it seems to be one of the favorites." "For instance... what does Tennyson contribute to this subject?" "Although his work is mildly out of fashion at this time," "I would like you to consider his exploration of this theme." "It seems that it seems to be..." "Syd..." "Need a lift?" "No, thanks." "I'm just going to the library." "How have you been?" "Okay." "You?" "Good." "Better." "Thanks for the flowers." "That was nice." "Look, Sloane's getting impatient." "They gave you a month off." "It's been three." "I've talked to Sloane." "Yeah, apparently not to his satisfaction." "I know they sent you here to bring me back." "I'm sorry." "I just can't yet." "They got word." "FTL's finished building the Muller device." "Sloane wants it." "They don't need me." "They say they do." "Tell them to call Quintero." "Quintero's dead." "We got confirmation Thursday." "Syd..." "They need you active." "If they don't have confidence in someone who's in as deep as you are... they'll fix that problem." "I really am sorry." "I'll see you." "Syd..." "Hello?" "Francie, hi." "Do you want to hear the worst day ever?" "Call my cellphone." "I think the ringer's broken." "I can barely hear you." "Just call me right back." "Okay." "Get in!" "Daddy?" "Now!" "Dad, you have a gun." "Hello?" "I'll call you later." "I tried you a couple times." "Just call me back." "You are not gonna believe the day I had." "Me too." "Hang on." "Dad, what are you doing?" "There might be others." "Put your seatbelt on." "You're gonna have to accept that there are many things you won't understand tonight." "The one thing you must understand is that the agency doesn't trust you anymore." "They're gonna kill you unless you do as I say." "I work for SD-6." "Just like you." "Undercover at Jennings Aerospace." "You leave tonight." "I've arranged a flight to France connecting to Switzerland." "You'll be red-flagged at customs." "I've given you new papers." "I thought you sold airplane parts." "I don't sell airplane parts." "I never sold airplane parts." "That car is taking you to the airport." "I have to get back if they're not gonna know." "Who are you?" "Sydney, get in that car." "They're waiting two minutes." "Then they leave with or without you." "There is no time for you not to trust me." "You don't know who you're dealing with." "What does that mean?" "Who the hell am I dealing with?" "About a decade ago... a pool of agents went freelance." "Russian, Libyan, Chinese, Ethiopian " "The Alliance of Twelve." "What do you know about them?" "They're an enemy of The United States." "They're mercenaries." "They're dangerous." "I'm one of them." "SD-6 is not a black ops division of the ClA." "SD-6 is a branch of the alliance." "You work for the very enemy you thought you were fighting." "That's impossible." "Then tell me why you've never been to Langley." "You've been lied to." "All lower-level agents have been lied to." "I am trying to help you here." "So you're saying I'm working for the enemy." "You are the enemy." "Sydney, this is your last chance." "You have to go." "Who are you to come to me and act like a father?" "If you want to help me... stay away from me." "Okay." "Let's try one more time." "Who do you work for?" "I just wanted to say... start with the teeth in the back, if you don't mind." "will:" "Yeah." "Wait, wait." "Let me -- no." "Well, the newspaper's doing you a favor." "Yeah." "I'm doing a pantry run." "You want anything?" "No, thanks." "Is Litvack in her office?" "What do you think?" "Does she even work here anymore?" "Hope not." ""Meet me on the roof"?" "It was perfect, though." "Some guy just totally hung up on me." "I got an hour to kill." "You want some lunch?" "What happened to your face?" "I need your help." "Syd, are you okay?" "I can't even explain it, so don't ask." "You just got to trust me." "Of course." "I need to borrow one of your sister's credit cards with at least a #3,000 limit." "I'll pay her back." "Can you get it?" "Syd, what is this?" "You owe somebody some money?" "There's something else." "Do you know where Amy keeps her passport?" "How many bags are you checking through to Taipei?" "Just this one." "What lipstick do you use?" "I love it." "Allex Jane Lux, concord grape." "I love it." "Totally pops." "Thanks." "May I see your passport?" "You ever try this one?" "I think it's too light for me." "What do you think?" "It's pretty on you." "Thanks." "Window or aisle?" "The pill I gave you helps the pain." "I could tell... because you stopped screaming so loudly." "That medication, however... only lasts for two hours." "And it's been two hours, almost." "So... you have a choice which way we go next." "Tell me, and you get one more." "Louder." "I can't." "Who do you work for... you pretty little girl?" "No." "Hey, guys." "I don't want to be no man's woman" "I've other work I want to get done" "I haven't traveled this far to become" "No man's woman" "No man's woman" "Yeah." "Well, send her in." "Now." "Yeah, make sure Ravel knows." "My friends think I'm alone, but I've got secrets" "I don't tell everything about the love I get" "I got a lovin' man, but he's a spirit" "I'm back." "All right." "I'm taking the week off." "I've got midterms." "He never does me harm, never treats me bad" "He never takes away all the love he has" "May I help you?" "I need to speak to your director." "Mr. Devlin." "I'm sorry." "Mr. Devlin's not available." "May I leave a message?" "Tell him he has a walk-in." "Roxanne, we have a walk-in for Mr. Devlin." "Yes." "Come with me, please." "You have the recon" "Oh, I know." "I'll get to it, I swear." "Thanks." "Here's some more coffee and something to eat." "Just let Mr. Weiss know if you need anything else." "A new pen." "This one's dying." "Thanks." "Well, this could be very interesting." "Does that mean I'm in?" "No, not yet." "They're reviewing your statement." "It's -- you wrote a lot." "I know." "It's like Tolstoy long." "Devlin says it could take weeks to verify." "But I know we could use another double agent in SD-6." "We'll be in contact." "I'm gonna get you a ride out of here, keep you concealed." "Why are you shaking your head?" "Because you said "another."" "So?" "So if you really had one already... you most likely wouldn't tell me until I was authenticated." "Unless I had an instinct about you." "My bet is you don't have another double." "But you want me to believe that you do so that on the off chance" "I'm looking to be a triple agent," "I'll report back that there's an existing mole to upset the balance of my agency." "I'm not trying to play you." "We'll see." "I have an instinct." "You need a dentist." "Do you have one?" "I can get you a name." "I'm all right." "I'll be right back." "I need to know if you were real" "'Cause I've been known to get it wrong" "When the memory comes" "I'll say I'm always in the dark" "You got me now" "I want to give you back" "I wanted to say I was sorry." "You don't have to." "I'm back at work." "I guess you know that." "I meant sorry about Danny." "There was nothing I could do." "I'd like to be alone, if you don't mind." "I know what it's like to lose someone." "Listen, I don't know what you expect." "Just because we're working on the same side... just because I know the truth about you now... that doesn't change a thing between us." "I accept what I'm doing now because I have to." "Doesn't mean I have to accept you." "I asked Devlin if I could come tell you myself." "They verified your statement." "You're in." "I read what you wrote." "I appreciate your not naming me." "That was kind." "You're ClA." "You don't know how dangerous this is, Sydney." "Doing what I do." "I wish you'd taken me up on Switzerland." "How do I know what you're telling me is the truth?" "I guess we'll just have to learn to trust each other." "I need to know if you were real" "I'd hate to think that I'd been fooled again" "And as the vision fades" "I'll say I was blinded by your eyes" "I felt them burn" "I want to give you back" "Hello?"
