"Three things you saw on your way to class today." "I saw... a man," " pedaling his bicycle." " "Pedaling. " Good, good." "And then I saw my friend Claus kiss Katrina Wolfe." "And then I saw Katrina slap Claus's face." " It's true." "Katrina hates Claus." " (cell phone rings)" "Anna, please turn your phone off." "(ringing continues)" "Your phone." "Turn it off."

"Just put a little more snap in it." "Like this." "What position did you play?" "I was defense." "High-school coach moved me up to center." "You were a chick magnet, right?" "Actually, my first face-off I ever took as a center, I got knocked right on my ass." "The other team's center was, like, this 15-year-old, six-foot-two, bearded..." "Actually, probably on steroids, now that I think about it." "Finally, there was 12 seconds left, we were down by a goal." "I had my teeth kicked in so many times, I said, "You know what?" "Screw it.

"Her name is Nancy Cahill." "An operative at Langley's Narcotics Task Force." "Specializing in the development of new synthetics." "She's been stationed in Europe for the past three years." "Her cover:" "Associate professor at Amsterdam University." "She shot herself 36 hours ago." "Eyewitness report, a student from Cahill's class." "Her last words, "Vertel hen het is Grappig. " "Tell them it's funny. "" "Cahill's most recent psych eval reported nothing of note." "Her mental status reviews have been exemplary." " What's our assignment?" " Cahill's husband, Jason, also an agent, has gone off the grid." "Hasn't been in touch with his handler in three weeks." "All attempts to contact him after his wife's death have been unsuccessful." "Our objective is quite simple:" "Locate Jason Cahill." "So, Dixon, you take Weiss." "Retrace Nancy Cahill's final days." "Vaughn, you and Nadia do the same for Jason Cahill." "Sydney, Jack, Cahill's Amsterdam apartment." "Standard protocol." "Recover all files, classified computers, any evidence of CIA affiliation." "Any questions?" "(switch clicks)" "No bulbs." "(flies buzzing)" "(crunch)" "(gunshot)" "(Sydney gasps for breath)" "Good news, Agent Bristow." "Your blood work's negative and your scans are clean." " May I?" " Yeah." "Looks fine." "My little brother did the same thing to me once, bit me like this." "Perhaps you can tell us now what you were looking for in the CAT scan." "The Cahills came in contact with a drug that affected the nervous system." "The pineal gland was about twice the normal size." "Nancy Cahill's autopsy revealed the same condition." " Which indicates what?" " By itself, nothing." "The pineal converts melatonin, which regulates sleep cycles and body temperature." "However, acute melatonin imbalance has been known to induce uncharacteristic behavior." " Even acts of extreme violence." " The writing in Cahill's closet, it seemed like he was suffering from severe paranoia." " Seeing demons." " I know." "I initially assumed we were dealing with a psychotropic, but hallucinogens have particular biochemical markers, none of which were present here." "No matter what drug Jason Cahill may have been exposed to, he couldn't have transmitted it to Sydney by biting her." "So why the CAT scan?" "The Cahills dealt with emerging drugs." "I wanted to take every precaution." "But all of our diagnostics indicate that you're fine." "Do you feel OK?" "Fine." "Langley wants to know what substance the Cahills came in contact with." "Who's manufacturing it." "What it's being used for." "So, what do we know?" "Neither Cahill traveled outside Amsterdam in the past month." "In her last days, Nancy placed twice her usual amount of phone calls." "They were routed through anonymous relays." "It's standard deep-cover protocol." "Well, if you give me the routing numbers, I'll see if I can hack a back trace." "Now, as far as Cahill's laptop, her hard drive was erased, but it's possible the files weren't completely rewritten." "I'll see if I can reconstruct them." "OK." "What do we know about these?" "Jason Cahill was analyzing data - names, dates, links between sources." "He was looking for something - maybe his mind." "This guy was a little crazy." "His wife actually locked him in this closet." "Sydney's fine." "Just exhausted." "She hasn't slept in 36 hours, so I'm sending her home." " (Sloane) Yes, of course." " Excuse me." "Hey." "Hey." "Oh, you think it's sexy, don't you?" "Only if I'd done it." "Need a ride home?" "No, thanks." "I was freaked out, but now I'm just tired." "Good night." "It's not that big of a deal." " He still thinks that's funny." " You're incredible." "Thanks." "Oh, God." "I hope we didn't wake you up." " How are you doing?" " I'm fine." "I had a headache." "I couldn't sleep." "I'm fine." "Have you..." "learned anything new?" "Well, let me just say:" "Cahill's papers." "Just thinking about them makes my head hurt." "(Nadia) Marshall says he's making some progress with Cahill's hard disk." "He thinks he may be able to retrieve the data." "Yeah." "Oh." "What?" " Are you..." " What?" "Staying over?" "No." " Unless I am." "Am I?" " You're not." " I'm not." " I'll walk you out." "She's gonna walk me out." "She almost said yes." "You saw that, right?" " This close." "I was..." "Good night." " Good night." "(beeping)" " Hey." " (gasps)" "Sorry." "You're here early." "I couldn't sleep." "What do you think about this?" "Was Jason Cahill just delusional?" "We're assuming the Cahills realized they were affected by something they came in contact with." "Probably a drug from one of their sources, but which source, which drug, they didn't know." "Looks like they were retracing their steps trying to figure it out." "Maybe looking for an antidote." "I thought I was losing my mind." "The hard disk was wiped clean, remember?" "But the data recovery wasn't a problem." "The files were fragmented." "What's on the disk?" "The mother lode:" "Cahill's travel itineraries, dead drop protocols," " routing numbers for discretionary funds." " What's pressing for now, according to their records, Jason Cahill has a meeting scheduled for Bucharest." "His contact is known to him as "the Count. "" ""The Count"?" "You gotta be kidding me." "The Count is mentioned several times in Cahill's papers." "He seems to be one of their sources." "He supplies them with samples of new drugs." "Now, here is a photo." "I retrieved it from one of Cahill's disks." "Ladies and gentlemen, introducing the Count." "The meeting is tomorrow night." "Obviously Cahill won't attend, but we will." "Sydney, you will identify yourself as an associate of Jason." "You will lead him into a conversation and find out what drugs he'd acquired for them." " It's a mistake." " I beg your pardon?" "Sending Sydney back into the field so quickly." "It's a tactical error." " No, it's..." " Sydney, someone else can do this." "I'm fine." "That's it." "Well, you know, based on my limited experience with mind-altering drugs, this one must have been a doozie." "Theoretically, could the drug's effects have a delayed reaction?" "Well, there is that half-hour or so for it to kick in." "That's not what I mean." "I mean, like a while." "A day or two." " (cell phone)" " I'm not sure." "Hold on a sec." "It's my wife." "Hey, honey." "(whispers) I'll look into it, OK?" "Yeah, sure." "Put him on." "Hey, Boo Boo." "Daddy loves you." "Yes, he does." "Scans of Cahill's papers." "His references to the Count." "Thank you." "Oh." " Another headache?" " Yeah." " I've got some aspirin." "You want it?" " No, thanks." "This is gonna sound crazy." "After you got home last night, I took my temperature." "It was 111." " Syd, that's not possible." " I know." "I must have been dreaming, right?" "You told Dr. Jain?" "Everything was back to normal this morning." "All my tests came back negative." "You have to let them know." "But you just said it yourself:" "It's not possible." "It's not." "But still, you have to." "If I tell them, they'll sideline me for who knows how long." " If you don't tell them, I will." " Nadia, I'm fine." " I shouldn't have said anything." " Hey." " Plane's waiting." " OK." "What's going on here?" "Girl stuff?" "People stuff." "Be safe." " You wanted to see me?" " Yes." "Please..." "You know, Marcus, I appreciate your friendship with Sydney." "Having said that, whether or not an agent is fit for duty is my decision." "We both know Sydney has a history of putting her work ahead of her own well-being." " I was just suggesting that someone else..." " Dixon." "In the 11 years that you worked for me at SD-6," "I came to recognize your brilliance as a field agent." "But during those 11 years, not once did you suspect that you were working for a renegade organization." "What are you suggesting?" "That somehow my loyalty is a liability?" "I'm suggesting that you do your job and that I do mine." "11:30." "We should move." "Sydney, when we find the Count, you'll approach him and see what he knows." "If he gets suspicious, the abort code is "takedown. "" "Once we're inside the club, you'll take point, I'll cover the back." "Sydney." "The tea was hotter than I expected."

"(Jack) You failed to include where it came from." "Yes, because I don't know." "Cahill says Nocturne developed in Eastern bloc." "But I find no evidence of this."
