"I'm guessing this isn't a personal visit." "No." "Roman Vadik." "We need your help." " Nadia, I need you to come back with me." " No." "Sydney..." "He was a good friend." "Worked with me." "Vadik killed him." "Had his... head shipped back to our office." "But I'll give you what I have." "No one deals with Vadik directly." "Everything goes through his lieutenant." " You wanna write this down?" " No, I got it." "Kazu Tomazaki." "Considers himself a modern samurai." "Arrested five years ago trying to rob the Hazunaga Asian Museum in London." "Escaped from police custody - among the least of the charges against him." "I hope that helps." "Men like Vadik, like Tomazaki, they need to be eliminated." "I can't." "I can't." "You do understand?" " I made penne." "There was..." " This cannot continue." "A crucial assumption of our operational competence is communication." "Sydney, if we don't have that, every mission, the life of every operative," " could be at risk." " I'm doing my job." "No." "What you need to do is find a way to accept what's happened." "If you can deal with Arvin Sloane..." "I love that you knew that, that you approved it." "It may be hard for you to accept that your father doesn't have the authority to make all the decisions..." "No, what's hard for me to accept are the decisions that you do make." "What's hard is looking at you, walking past you, smelling that sickening cologne." "And what's..." "what's hard is being your daughter and not being able to separate myself as far as I may get from the person I despise the most." "You went to see Nadia." "Did you tell her what you know?" "I guess I thought that maybe you'd come here..." "I don't know, to give me something, information." "Something that would help make sense of what I was afraid you'd become." "But there's nothing you could say." "Of course you were only looking out for yourself." "Is that what you think of me as an operative?" "That I would reveal your secret?" "That poor girl." "I didn't tell Nadia a thing." "Sorry." "What's going on?" "It was Lauren who told me." "What?" "Told me where to look." "The safety deposit box in Wittenberg." "How she knew, I don't know." "I wasn't even gonna go." "I had no reason to believe anything that woman said." "But the curiosity was just too strong." "I got there, and inside the box there was a file." "Classified, highest level." "My heart was pounding." "Like I knew somehow before I knew." "What was it?" "Evidence." "Evidence that my mother had been a security risk, which wasn't really news." "It mentioned her history with the KGB, everything we knew." "Then there was a page." "An official request made by my father... asking for the authority to execute Irina Derevko." "A request that was granted." "And he did it." "He killed her." "He killed my mother." "He did it, Vaughn." "He killed her." "He killed my mother." "Two weeks ago, the man on the train, Kazu Tomazaki, severed ties with all known contacts, eliminated all means of communication." " Any idea where he's gone or why?" " Nothing." "Our one link to Roman Vadik has disappeared." "Any indication Vadik turned on Tomazaki?" "All chatter says that Vadik is status quo." " So Tomazaki is still all we've got?" " All we had." "He's gone." "Back to what we know." "The Hazunaga Asian Museum in London." "Nadia said he was arrested five years ago." "Break-in." "Was there a motive?" "He was caught in the Shintaro sword exhibit." "The shootout killed two MPs and one of his own men." " What was he doing?" " Trying to steal the Shintaro sword, the most famous samurai sword outside of Japan, wanting to restore honor to the blade and to his country." "You gotta be kidding me." "We may not have the means to contact Tomazaki, but I can see a way to get Tomazaki to contact us." "Are you suggesting we fake a robbery of the Hazunaga?" "You think we should steal the sword?" "That museum's one of the world's most secure." "If this were my operation, there's only one man I'd trust to get us in there." " Are you as depressed as I am?" " Depressed about what?" "Depressed about what?" "Take a look around here." "This place is a ghost town." "I don't even know anybody here anymore." "Sydney is gone." "Dixon, Jack, Vaughn." "The only guy we have left is Sark, and that's only because he's in custody." "I hate that guy." "He really kinda scare..." "Although I did go visit him twice." "Just to see a familiar face." "We had eggs." "Don't do that." "Marshall Flinkman, you're under arrest for the misuse of government assets." "Misuse?" "What?" "What did I misuse?" "Unauthorized computer equipment may be connected to your monitors..." "I don't understand." "What did I have connected?" "Is this yours?" "It was for a mission." "I swear." "I just wanted to download some maps from Conquerquest." "I heard they were really good." "Of course, CIA maps are much better." " Am I dead?" " You've been recruited." "We're a black-ops division, Marshall." "You're going to head up technology." "Syd..." "Sloane is here." "We know." "OK." "Syd!" "We're back." "Merlin to team." "Great." "Way to go, guys." " Stay focused." " They're focused." "OK." "Shotgun to Merlin, tapping into surveillance." "OK, I can see it." "The Shintaro sword." "It's a Studler Matrix system." "What am I looking for?" "OK." "Studler Matrix." "What fuse?" " L7." " Copy that." "Looping L7." "Wait a minute, wait a minute." "That would be bad." "Don't do that." "You need to reroute through E3." " E3 rerouted." " OK." "Go to L7." "Copy that." "Looping L7." "OK, the security feed's looped." "Outrigger, something fell down the vent." " Cooney to Control." " Right, Cooney." "Check floor two, would you?" "I think I heard something." "No, it's all clear." "You're still good." " Good luck." " Thanks." "How cool is this?" "Stealing a sword so we can find a bad guy, in order to catch an even bigger bad guy." "Come on." "Come on." "You would never let us do this back in the CIA..." "You know, when you were double-breasted, serious robot-Dixon." "I mean, not that you..." "You were just... authoritative." "I'm sorry." "Outrigger to base." "ETA 90 seconds." "Security camera's on loop." "So far so good." "Biggest challenge?" "Hands down... is that pressure pad on the case." "You know, the marble border?" "There's no way to deactivate it." "Supercalibrated." "Phoenix, you've got company." "Tango headed your way." "ETA 20 seconds." " Phoenix, abort!" "Repeat:" "Abort." " I'm almost there." "Phoenix, he's coming." "Get out of there now." "Almost there." "Dammit!" "Phoenix to base, I'm in the east alley." "I need an extraction now." "We're at a secondary route." "We're 60 seconds out." "I don't have 60 seconds." "I'll meet you at the LZ." "I'm going." "Sydney, get in." "Get in now." "You can be stubborn later." "Outrigger, this is Raptor." " I have Phoenix." "Heading to rendezvous." " What are you doing here?" "You know what else typically works in a situation like this?" "A simple "thank you. "" "Get down." "You didn't tell her, did you?" "The truth." "I told her that I was responsible for the death of her mother." " Did you tell her everything?" " She's better off not knowing everything." "Tough call, Jack." "Better that she detests me." "I fear the alternative would have left her incapacitated." "I assume you have something to sell?" "I have the Shintaro sword." "Herr Vogel, you never cease to astound me." "An inside job, no doubt, yes?" "No matter." "People on the street are impressed." "An incredible job." "My friends are good at what they do." "Let me make a few calls." " It's done." " Good work." "Head home." "Dixon set the sword in play." "You can expect to hear from Tomazaki within hours." "It's good, isn't it... having the team back together again?" "Anything?" "Well, mostly what we already know." "Roman Vadik is some serious bad news." "Check this out." "Pakistan, 500 casualties." "Prime minister of Kafiristan assassinated in broad daylight." " Who's that?" " It's Pablo Martinez." "He's an Argentinean agent." "He was investigating Vadik last year." "He was caught." "Vadik had him killed." " Martinez was partners with Nadia Santos." " Your sister?" "Half sister." "Well, he was the only one who ever saw Vadik alive." "I mean, at least on ourside." "He wasn't transmitting, was he, when he was captured?" "I'll make you a deal." "You cooperate with us." "That's it." "You don't frighten me." "Then clearly you're an idiot." "The man you were working for on the train" " Tomazaki - he referred to his boss, Mr. Vadik." "But we ran voiceprints." "An agent was killed last year by Vadik, but his voice... you know, the killer... it matches perfectly with the man on the train." "Tomazaki." "Which means Vadik trusts Tomazaki enough to front for him and act on his behalf." "Simple deduction says that, if Tomazaki trusts you, you've seen Vadik." "Where do we find Vadik?" "I'll need protective services for this." "You help us and you have my word." "Vadik." "You are at him." "Vadik is Tomazaki." "There is no Vadik." "It's a cover." "He made him up." "There's no Vadik." "Vadik doesn't exist at all." "If it's actually Tomazaki who's in charge, we need a new game plan." " Yes?" " Tomazaki took the bait." "We're set for a Wednesday meet in Rio de Janeiro." "He insists that the woman who stole the sword make the delivery." "Apparently he has access to police files." "He was intrigued." " What about backup?" " She's allowed one addition." "Jack, you escort Sydney with the sword." "Vaughn, Marshall, you'll support Dixon." " I want a plan by 1800." " Excuse me." "I prefer Dixon as my partner." "I'm sure you're aware of our experience together in the field." "That shorthand could be important." "I've already made my assignments." "You good?" "As soon as Tomazaki makes contact, we'll ID and take out any backup he's got." "Then we'll move in, grab him, get on a plane." " Team's in position, mics are hot." " We've got full visual." " Phoenix, Raptor, it's your show." " Copy that, Outrigger." "This is the best conversation we've had in weeks." "Merlin, patch this call through my earpiece to the rest of the team." "OK, Phoenix, you are hot." "And I mean that in many ways." "Shotgun, you're in on the call." "Look across the square." "You'll see a tunnel." "It will take you to the belly of the Alves building." "Go to the tenth floor." "No backup, no guns." "Just the sword." " Meet me in three minutes or it's off." " Merlin, the Alves building." "Listen, this building was converted into a bank last year." "Shotgun, you're gonna have to look the part." "OK, we've got wardrobe." "Let's do it." "I'm going in - alone." "I assume you all heard that." "Starting through the tunnel." "Phoenix, meet me at the elevators before you go up." "See you at the elevator." "OK, now, that tunnel was reinforced after the earthquake of '44." "We're probably gonna lose comms until..." "Shotgun, we've temporarily lost contact with Phoenix." "Merlin, tell me there's a tenth floor in this building." "Guys..." "Hello, Sydney Bristow." "If Tomazaki wanted to kill Sydney, we're already too late." "The only assumption we can operate on practically is that Sydney is alive and Tomazaki has some need for her." "So where is she?" "Rio was Tomazaki's call, not mine." "It's his turf." "Meaning he most likely has some sort of base here - satellite office, maybe." "Marshall, does Tomazaki's file indicate property holdings?" "I already checked." "Nothing." "Nothing in Rio, nothing anywhere in Brazil." "We know someone with intel - the agent who led us to Tomazaki in the first place." "Well, my daughter has refused to cooperate." "Still, she gave Sydney Tomazaki's name." "If she were apprised of the situation, she might help." "I'll make her help." "Where is she?" " Hola." " This is Michael Vaughn." "I'm in Rio." " Sydney's in trouble." " Is it Vadik?" "Vadik and Tomazaki are the same person." "Look, we don't know if Sydney's still alive, but if she is, you're her only hope." "Nadia, please." "Tomazaki used to run an operation near the Catedral Metropolitana." "OK." "I'll need details." "Sydney Bristow." "What happened to the deal?" "What?" "What happened... to the deal?" "Before you leave this room, you will tell me why." "I might." "I'm relatively open-minded." "But in this case I don't know what the hell you're talking about." " Have you eaten breakfast?" " Why?" "You wanna grab something?" "You probably ate breakfast." "Just in case... we'll wait." "Alana." "You're here." "I saw you, standing in the park." "I was looking for the woman who stole the Shintaro." "Then I saw you and I knew... this wasn't about the sword." "Somehow you found out... about the hit." "Which means you must know why you were spared." "Why the job went away." "I told you, I don't know about any hit." "You wouldn't be here if you didn't know about the contract." "What contract?" "The contract I had on your life." "You were hired to kill me?" "Who hired you?" "Sydney." "Assassin-client privilege." "The day before the job, my client was killed." "Most unfortunate... for me." "I swear to God, I don't know anything about this." "Somehow I believe you." "I guess... this was just one of those coincidences." "I guess I can just sell you the sword and go home." "I'll just take the sword." "How's that?" "Tu gostas?" "So, Nadia, the tranquilizer lips..." "you think it was too red?" " Does Jorge have the key card?" " Got it." "I'm in." "You'll be OK." "Nadia!" "Sydney!" "Sydney!" " Where's Sydney?" " She went that way." "I was told you were good." "Who hired you?" "Who put a contract on my life?" "Who hired you?" "Derevko." "Irina Derevko." "Congratulations." "We recovered the isotope, we've eliminated a dangerous enemy, and the British government is most grateful for American assistance in returning the Shintaro sword." "I would also like to announce that Nadia has accepted my offer to join APO." "I know that she can rely on your full support in the days and weeks ahead." "So, that's it." "Go home." "Feel good about what you've done." "How did you find out?" "Tomazaki." "He had the contract." "You didn't know?" "I merely knew your mother had hired someone." "I didn't know who." "I had only one way to stop him." "Why would she want me dead?" "I don't know." "You killed her to save me." "You killed Mom... to save me." "I'll see you tomorrow." "Syd, are you OK?" "Thank you." "I just..." "I don't see it." "You working in a bank?" "Come on." "What kind of job is that?" "You know?" "Cashing checks and making change." ""Excuse me." "Next in line, please. "" "I'm a loan officer." "I travel." "Service accounts." "Wait a minute." "That cover job you had for SD-6?" " I happen to be good at it." " Great." "That's stimulating stuff - watching someone else's cash." "Syd, come on, seriously, since you left the spy biz you are a bore." "It's an adjustment, is all." "Are you sure you don't want to stay for dinner?" "I'd love to, but I gotta save the world." " See ya." " Bye." "I'm Eric Weiss. 38, single." "Nadia." " How are you?" " Good." "Is this a bad time?" "Not at all." "Nadia, this is Eric." " He was just leaving." " No, no, no." "I can stay." " Or go." "Nice to meet you." " You too." "What's going on?" "I just couldn't wait... even until tomorrow." "I was hoping we could talk about our mother." "Did you bring your passport?" "Our mother was killed." "I found her body in a state medical facility." "I identified her, paid for her release, made arrangements with the mausoleum in Moscow three blocks from where she was born." "I thought she'd want it that way." "And you have no idea who was responsible?" "Who killed her?" "No." "I swear to God, somehow, I will find out who did this to our mother... and I will kill him." "I will."
