"(man) On behalf of the Central Intelligence Agency." "A grateful nation thanks you for your father's sacrifice." "This star on the wall is." "In some ways." "Too small a gesture." "Bill Vaughn dedicated his life in service and commitment for his country." "His death in the line of duty is a tragedy for his loving wife and his young son." "(speaks Russian)" "(woman speaks Russian)" "(whirring)" " Did you see the front page?" " Yeah." "There you go." "Thank you." "So Lawton called me back from CIA Archives." " About Nightingale?" "When?" " Yesterday morning." " Why didn't you tell me?" " I was going to." "He didn't find anything." "We'll keep looking." "I should get dressed." "There could be reasons your dad didn't register Nightingale with the CIA." "Yeah, I know." "Have you seen my jacket anywhere?" "It's a setback, but there are people we can talk to." "No, no, there aren't." "Keys." "Where the hell are my keys?" " Bring it to APO." "They might help us." " We're not bringing this to APO." "The last thing I want is Sloane knowing I was investigating my father's death." "We don't know your father's dead." " At this point I do." " After all the progress, how can you just..." "How can I just what?" "What have I got?" "Journals in his handwriting that shouldn't exist, and a word." "One word" " Nightingale." "What the hell does that even mean?" "A random woman told me." "I'd be better off asking for the goose that lays golden eggs." "It wasn't some random woman." "She was the woman who raised Nadia." "I wanna get to the bottom of this too." "We always thought my mother killed your father, but what if we were wrong?" "What if there was some other plan?" "(knock at door)" " Do you have a minute?" " Certainly." "I need to ask you a favor." "I was wondering if I could use your level six clearance to look at some files." " In reference to what?" " They're not for me, they're..." " It's for Vaughn, actually." " I see." "A month ago, Vaughn found a journal that belonged to his father." "The entries ended in 1982." "Mom killed Bill Vaughn in '79." "But we authenticated the handwriting." "That proves nothing." "Counterfeit artists are experts at graphoanalysis." "I know, but it doesn't explain Nightingale." " What's Nightingale?" " We don't know." "Vaughn followed a lead that took him to a woman in Lisbon who knew about Vaughn's dad, that he rescued Nadia when she was a baby." "She said that, shortly after that, he left looking for Nightingale." "I mean, it could be a code name." "It could be an operation." "I know I'm asking for a lot." "But I understand what Vaughn's going through." "You also know how dangerous that search can be?" "Yeah, I do." "Thank you." "I appreciate you trusting me with this." " Seems like we haven't talked since..." " Mom died." "Feel free to come to me anytime." " Looks like you have an audience." " Not bad." "Nightingale is the brainchild of Dr. Josef Vlachko." "Russian émigré we recruited into DARPA." "He vanished 25 years ago" " after running tests on human subjects." " Nice guy." "When he left, he took all records of Project Nightingale with him." "That's why you couldn't find anything." "DARPA had to cover the security breach." "So if we find Vlachko, we might find something on my dad." "Hans Dietrich." "German money launderer." "Last year he branched out into higher-risk investments, mainly weapons systems." "He funneled over a million euros into an encrypted bank account called Nachtigall " "Nightingale." "Dietrich's office is located in Munich." "He runs a beer hall on the ground floor." "If we can get to his records, we might find a lead." "Something on Vlachko." "Who knows?" " Syd, how did you get all this?" " My dad." " What?" " He has clearance." " Did you tell him everything?" " I had to." "How much do they know?" "Uncertain." "Apparently there were journals we couldn't account for." "Mm." " We should shut them down." " We could turn this to our advantage." "Let Sydney and Vaughn obtain intelligence for us." "I see." "And you have no problem with that?" "Of course I do." "But given our current obstacles, they might provide a lead we couldn't get on our own." "All right, Jack." "Give them a long leash." "But just so we're clear, we cannot afford to be compromised." "Not even by your daughter." "It won't come to that." " No, I'm fine, thanks." "Don't help." " Aw." "Boohoo." "I'm gonna go up north and drink wine for two days while my friends work." " Accumulated vacation." "Use it or lose it." " You'll water the plants and..." "Sydney, go." "Have a good time." "You know what?" "We could drive up and meet you guys." " We're busy." " You gotta eat." "One meal." " That's what room service is for." " Don't mind him." "Have fun." "We're crazy this weekend anyway." "We've got plans." " You know, we're doing..." "There's that..." " Yeah." " That's Dietrich." " He's with his bodyguards." "The one on the right is Dietrich's second-in-command, Karl Goedde." "This will be fun." "No toys from Marshall." "Cell phones instead of comms." "Then all we have to do is get Dietrich alone." "Convince him to show us his files on Nightingale." "I can get him alone." "(woman speaks German)" "Ja." " (phone rings)" " Yeah." " (Vaughn) They're getting the check." " OK, I'm almost there." "Olga." "Komm mit mir." " (phone rings)" " Yeah." " Quick question." " Eric, it's a bad time." " Are you at a party?" " I'll have to call you back." " Romantic getaway going that good?" " Braids, fishnets." "Pretty spectacular." "(Eric) Somebody's getting lucky tonight." "Bye." "Where do you keep financial records?" "Your business files." "Where?" " God." "On my computer." " Show me or I'll break your neck." "I will." "Please don't hurt me." "The guys here are getting antsy." "How are you doing?" "Give me 30 seconds." "Mr. Goedde." "Ignacio Maldini." "Europol Liaison." "Organized Crime Unit." " We received complaints." " Take it up with our lawyers." "We have." "Unless you want my entire office here tomorrow, you'll listen." "Low wages, no overtime, sexual harassment." " What?" "Sexual harassment?" " (bang)" "Auf Wiedersehen." "OK, try it now." "It's there." "It's encrypted." "It'll take a while." " Yeah, well, as long as it's in there." " (phone rings)" " Hello." " (man) Say it's Weiss." " What?" " Tell your girlfriend that it's Weiss." "If you wanna know about your father." "Weiss." "You got lucky in Munich." "But Nightingale won't answer your questions." "Only I can." "Sherwood Library." "UCLA campus." "Get there in an hour." "The library will be closed." "But the side door will be open." "Yeah, you know what?" "I'll see if I can." "What I have is for you alone." "If you tell your girlfriend." "She'll be dead by the time you get back." "OK, I'll talk to you later." " What's going on?" " Nothing, he just wanted to grab a burger." "You go." "I'll work on this." "Besides, if Weiss gets suspicious..." "Yeah, yeah, OK." " Do you want anything?" " No, thanks." "All right." "I won't be long." "Take your time." " Tell Weiss I said hi." " I will." "(phone rings)" " Yeah." " (man) Through the Looking Glass." "The illustrated edition." "You've gotta be kidding me." "(phone rings)" " If you think I'll inject myself, you're crazy." " (man) If I wanted you dead." "I'd kill you." "You wanna know about your father." "I'll give you two minutes to do the right thing." "(Jack) I traced Sydney and Vaughn's movement." "They went to Munich." " What did they find?" " Undetermined at this point." "The plan was to let Sydney and Vaughn open doors that we couldn't, and to pull them back if they got too far." "I don't see much in the way of containment." "We have an option." "I can go to Sydney, engender her trust." "Convince her to bring the case to APO." "No, she's too intuitive." "Considering your relationship, she'll see right through you." " Through us." " No, she won't." "I know exactly how to approach her." "(phone rings)" " Hello." " It's me." " Dad, hi." " I realize this is short notice." "But I was wondering if you'd join me at Miceli's this evening." "Um..." " (Jack) Is it bad timing?" " No." "Hey, I was just hoping you might be free for dinner." " I'll meet you there in 30 minutes." " See you there." "Mr. Vaughn." "Welcome back." "Don't worry, it's temporary." "Paralysis will wear off in about four minutes 20 seconds." "Might sting a little, though." "You know, the re-entry." " Who are you?" " A man that can tell you about your father." "But first, what I want." "That intel you stole from Dietrich will lead you to Nightingale." "What I'm interested in is the transforming coil inside Nightingale." "Are you out of your mind?" "I'm not the one who injected myself with an unknown substance." "So now we've established your desperation, it's a matter of how far you're willing to go." "Why should I believe anything you say?" "Phillip Burke." "B- u-r-k-e." "Who's that?" "You look him up." "And when you're done, you contact me." "One time only." "Make it count." "Thanks for coming." "I took the liberty of ordering a bottle of Pinot Noir." "OK." " You look very nice." " Thank you." "So..." "Yes." "Everything OK?" "It's fine." "How's your investigation going?" "Vaughn's father?" " It's complicated, actually." " You found something?" "Intel on the hard drive makes it seem" " like Nightingale is an active project." " Active?" "Vlachko was running it out of an abandoned nuclear reactor in Siberia." "He jerry-rigged enough power to drive what he needs." " For what purpose?" " I'm not sure." "The experiments are molecular." "They're altering human DNA." "There was a list of over a dozen human test subjects." "All died." "There's mention of the genetic markers AD9, but I don't know what it all means." " Bring this to APO." " Not until I talk to Vaughn." "Vaughn doesn't know that people may be dying because of it." "I gave you level six clearance because I trusted you." "I'm asking you to trust me now." "Bring this to APO." "If you really want to find answers, use the resources APO can provide." "You have to discuss this with Vaughn first." "I respect that." "But the longer you keep this off-book, the worse this will look for both of you." "The only way to proceed is honestly, above board." "Promise me you'll tell Vaughn that." "I promise." " She told you this?" " Yes." "Mm." "For 20 years, Josef Vlachko's been off the grid." "Now we find him through Sydney, of all people." "Well, I have to hand it to you, Jack." "I never thought that you would be capable of exploiting your own daughter." "I certainly couldn't do that." "I could have a strike team on the ground in Siberia in 72 hours." "That's a foolish course of action." "Vlachko's our strongest lead to Elena Derevko." "With this intel, we need to act quickly." "Sydney cannot know that I've betrayed her confidence." "We wait for her to bring this in." " And if she doesn't?" " She will." "I asked her to." "When she does, we'll draw up an ops plan, requiring me to go along on the mission." "Once there, I'll interrogate Vlachko without Sydney or Vaughn knowing." "If our assumption is correct, Vlachko is communicating with Elena." "Once you've completed the interrogation, he needs to be eliminated." " It's a little extreme, don't you think?" " No." "I consider it a necessary precaution." "He could alert Elena to our agenda." "Or even worse, he could talk to Sydney." "Which would be a disaster." "Unless, of course, you want to destroy everything we've worked for." "Phillip Burke, killed in Laos, 10/21/79." "They're identical." "His name's Phillip Burke." "CIA black ops agent killed in Laos the exact same date my father was killed." "The autopsy reports show that Burke was shot with a Makarov pistol, the exact same make and model your mother used to kill my father." "And there's more." "Dental records." "The ones on the left are Burke's." " The set on the right are my father's." " Oh, my God." "We've always thought your mother killed my father, but what if she killed Burke?" " How would the CIA..." " Maybe the CIA didn't know and someone wanted the world to think Bill Vaughn died and replaced him with Burke." "Vaughn, where did you get this information?" "That phone call from before." "It wasn't Weiss." "I went to see a guy named Roberts." "I made a deal with him because he said he had information about my father." "I can't believe you didn't tell me." " He'd only talk if I came alone." " What you did was crazy." "It paid off." "He knows more and he'll tell me." " In return for what?" " He wants Nightingale, a transformer coil." "We don't even know what it is yet." "We'll stop the testing, not hand over the entire program, just part." " We do missions like this all the time." " Not on our own." "Not rogue." "My father wants us to bring this in to APO." "You talked to him again." "Jack and Sloane won't let me keep technology like this." "And besides, I don't trust them." "I don't trust anybody." "Except you." " Then what do you suggest?" " We come clean with APO, drop a mission that gets Nightingale, then run a countermission." " Like the old days." " Our stated goal is to retrieve the coil." " Instead we keep it for ourselves?" " There's no way we can make a duplicate." " We won't have time to make a fake one." " So we have a plan B." "(Vaughn) We need the coil and to stop Nightingale." "Assuming you went undetected, what then?" "Once inside, we split up." "I'll recover the coil while Vaughn takes care of security." "Each facility door is key-code operated." "Vlachko operates out of the security station here." "I'll subdue him." "I'll override the locks." "That should get Sydney to where the coil is." " What configuration does the reactor run?" " RBMK." "You'll need two people to retrieve the coil." "One to ensure the reactor stays in standby, the other enters the chamber for the coil." "Yeah, that's right." "You're missing one man to override security." "I'll join." "As third man, I'll access the security system while you two recover the coil." "Once complete, we can bring Vlachko for questioning." "If we need a third man, Dixon is capable." "Actually, Jack's experience will serve you well." "Unless there's something about this you haven't told me." "No." "Sounds good." " Home plate, we're in." " Copy, five by five." "Phoenix standing by." " I'm going to the security room." " We'll meet you back here with the coil." "(speaks Russian)" "The more you cooperate, the less pain you'll endure." "Sit down." "Sit down!" " Shutting down security." " Jack, are you with Dr. Vlachko?" "Yes, he's been subdued." "Shotgun, Phoenix," " unlocking the control-room door." " (Vaughn) Copy." "Almost there." " We're at the control panels." " Is the reactor on line?" " Negative, the transformer is inside." " Open the containment shield." " That's where the coil is." " Copy." "(Marshall) Now release the lock to the test chamber." "(Sydney) We got the chamber open." "I'm going in." "Dismantling the pressure shield now." "This will take a couple of minutes." " I need information and I need it quickly." " I don't know what you're talking about." "I know about Nightingale." "If you know about Nightingale, what else can I tell you?" "The location of Elena Derevko." " Elena?" " Tell me where she is." "I don't know." "Ready to remove the coil." " Where's Elena?" " I told you, I don't know." "You worked for her." "You couldn't have set this up without her help." " That was years ago." " I don't have time for this." "(woman speaks Russian)" "Vaughn." " The controls are fried." " Can you get me out?" " Tell me where she is." " I don't know!" "(Vaughn) The reactor's coming on line." "Bypass the nuclear fusion switch on the panel under the main controls." "I have to run a bypass." "OK, is there an Ethernet port next to the motherboard?" " Yeah." " OK, plug it in there." "That should give me access to..." "All right." "Nice." "That's it." "I'm on their server." "Vaughn." "Fuse the blue and yellow wire together to open the door." "All right, Syd, try the door now." "It's still locked." "Vaughn." "(Vaughn) I can't bypass the door." "Syd's with the reactor." " Is there another way to shut it down?" " Only if you remove the fuel rods." " Marshall, I'm headed toward the core." " No!" "That amount of radiation could kill you." "I can slow the countdown and corrupt the reactor mainframe." "Take cover." "I see what you're doing." "Don't go in there." "I can keep the reactor from coming on line." " It's getting a little warm in here." " Hang on, I'm working on it." " Marshall, come on." " Almost there." "Countdown slowing down." "Vosyem." "Syem." "Shest." "Pyat." "Work some magic, work some magic, work some magic, work some magic." " Marshall, what just happened?" " Total shutdown due to core corruption." "I did it." "We did it, we..." "Marshall, just free Sydney, would you?" "Right, sorry." "System's in reset." "That shouldn't be a problem." "And free at last." "Sydney." " You OK?" " Yeah, I'm fine." " Plan B." " I hate this." "Vaughn." "Are you sure?" " I love you." " Yeah?" "Still?" "Remember what you promised." " I'll let you know when I get there." " OK." "Sydney." "I couldn't stop him." "It was Vaughn." "He took the coil." "I couldn't stop him, Dad." "Well, I don't understand this." "Vaughn assaulted Sydney and stole the coil." "Yes." "And you believe her?" "Vaughn wouldn't go against us without reason." "From his father's journals to this rash action, someone must be feeding him information, a third party." "Obviously this complicates our situation." "Yes, I imagine this must be quite upsetting for you, Arvin." "My not anticipating Sydney and Vaughn's deceit could be greater than your own." "Have you thought about how we're going to deal with this?" " Jack?" " Mm." " Are you all right?" " Fine." "Just tired." "I'll work up some options on retrieving Vaughn and the coil." "(# "Trouble" by Ray LaMontagne)" "(phone rings)" "# Trouble" "# Trouble been doggin' my soul" "# Since the day I was born" "Mr. Bristow, Mr. Bristow, hi." "I ran the diagnostics on the core reactor shutdown, remember, saved the day?" " This is not the time." " I reran security protocols." "I checked and rechecked them 'cause I couldn't understand." " What is it?" " I didn't shut it down." " Impossible." " It isn't." "The printouts." "It is impossible to shut it down from a remote location." "Given its status, they'd have to be shut down manually." "That's impossible too because that would mean that someone that's..." "I mean you." "The only way it could happen is if you went into the reactor yourself." "It was my daughter's life." "Between us."
