"CIA profile:" "Agent Sydney Bristow." "I'm in." "Agent Bristow works undercover with her father, Jack Bristow." "Also a double agent with CIA." "Get down!" "I guess we'll have to learn to trust each other." "Michael Vaughn." "My guardian angel." "Her current assignment:" "To infiltrate and destroy SD-6." "A secret organization dealing in espionage, extortion, weapons sales, posing as the CIA." "SD-6 has made over $400 million in arms sales alone." "SD-6 director:" "Arvin Sloane." "The sanctity of this agency requires the sacrifice of some personal freedoms." "This is not about cutting off an arm of the monster." "This is about killing the monster." "You're Alexander Khasinau." " You should eat something." " I'm not hungry." "Wait." "I have questions for you." "You can ask my boss." "Your boss?" "I thought "The Man" was the boss." "Yes." "Yes, but I am not "The Man. "" "I've waited almost 30 years for this." "Mom?" "You must have known this day would come." "I could have prevented all this, of course." "You were so small when you were born." "It would have been so easy." "Tell me." "Sydney, who sent you here?" "You must tell me." "Or what?" "I'm grounded?" "Tell you what." "Think about it." "I'll come back and ask you again." "You were shot by your mother?" "Yes." "And you don't have a problem?" "Yes, of course I have problems." "The problems I have, I can handle." "How did you escape?" "I'm sorry." "But Agent Vaughn is missing." "And my telling Houdini stories to a CIA shrink... no offense... is pointless." "No one should be worrying about me." "We should all be looking for him." "You're frustrated because you're not part of the search team." "But, Sydney, they're looking." "And you've been ordered to come and talk to me." "I couldn't get out of the room until I got out of the chair." "It was an unreinforced aluminum chair." "I wedged it against a water valve." "Put stress on the weld points." "Getting past the door was a little more complicated." "And you did all this with a bullet in your shoulder?" "Do you not believe me?" "It's impressive." "Not really." "One thing I've learned doing this." "There's no drug like adrenaline." "Where the hell are you?" "I'm in the middle of Taipei." "Is Vaughn with you?" "No." "We haven't heard from him." "Sydney, get to the plane." " I have to go back." " There's no time." "The authorities will check this airstrip." "I can't leave him behind." " Hold the plane." " Sydney, wait!" "Who's Vaughn?" "Tell me about Vaughn." "He's my CIA handler." "For a long time, he was the only person I could trust." "I think that still might be the case." "Anyway, a good friend of mine, a civilian, Will Tippin, was kidnapped." "Vaughn came to me." "He offered to help." "So the two of us and my father went to Taipei to get my friend." "How did Vaughn go missing?" "The last time I saw Vaughn was the night before my mother shot me." "While my father was paying a ransom in exchange for my friend, Vaughn and I went in to destroy one of the kidnappers' research facilities." "We broke in through a club in the building next door." "Along the way, we split up." "When I got to the lab I was supposed to destroy..." "I found something... unusual." "What was it?" "The short answer is I have no idea." "But there was no time, and I did my job." "By destroying Khasinau's lab, I flooded the building." "When you woke up, you were handcuffed to an aluminum chair." "After I escaped, I went back to the last place I'd seen him." "There was a hazmat team cleaning up the mess, testing the water." "I stole a suit and went in." "I found Vaughn's coat." "When I finally made it back to the plane," "Vaughn still hadn't shown up." "Easy." "What happened to the guy who shot you?" "There was no guy." "It was Mom." "And it didn't seem like she worked for Khasinau." "It seems that Khasinau works for her." "Did you say you were shot by your mother?" "Sit down." "Where are you?" "Just coming home from San Francisco." " Have you heard from Will?" " Have I heard from Will?" "No." "Me neither." "There's this story on the news." "Will wrote a story that wasn't supposed to get printed" " unless he went missing." " What was Will's story about?" "It's about the murder of your fiancé and some conspiracy and some group called SD-6." "What did you write about SD-6?" "Nothing!" "Just the name!" "I don't even know what it is!" "Why?" "Do you know what it is?" "Are they good?" "Are they bad?" "Do you work with them?" "Will was asking all the questions I would ask." "What did you say to him?" "Without going into details, we told the truth." "That my father and I work for the CIA." "That we're working undercover at SD-6, one of a number of agencies based in various countries that trade in weapons, drugs, and intelligence that use covert means to undermine governments and industry in their attempts to take over the world." "So, what was his reaction?" "Seriously?" "He thought it sounded preposterous." "Which is appropriate." "Did Will's article put you in danger at SD-6?" "My problems at SD-6 came from a different source." "As you're aware, I was shot last year while on a mission with Agent Bristow." "I was left with few memories of that day." "The doctors said that type of memory loss was typical." "But then, last week, I remembered something." "I remembered Agent Bristow trying to save my life using a SatCom radio." "What was unusual was that she I.D.'d herself with a call sign not issued by SD-6." "Call sign "Freelancer. "" "Last Thursday night, I followed Agent Bristow." "I watched as she illegally gained access to an SD-6 facility in Santa Barbara." "I prayed, sir, that there was an explanation." "But when I confronted Sydney, she had none." "As a servant of this country, despite the fact it breaks my heart to do so..." "I must report that I believe Sydney Bristow to be a double agent." "My father, of course, anticipated this." "You and I need to assume Dixon's reported you." "The best move is for me to take full responsibility." "What about Will?" "You're gonna have a hard time." "Then we landed and went back to SD-6." "As my father predicted, they took me into custody." "That's when he went to see Sloane." "You gave Sydney the call sign "Freelancer. "" " Yes." "That's right." " Why?" "Because I didn't trust you." "Consider it a paternal instinct." "I'm telling you because of Tippin's article." "I should have had Tippin killed months ago." "Tippin's kidnapping led us directly to Khasinau." "Sydney destroyed their facility." "Now Khasinau's organization is fractured." "Those who didn't lose their lives are on the run." "This is an opportunity." "I understand that I broke protocol." "That The Alliance would have me killed for what I've done." "But if I weren't loyal to you, Arvin, to SD-6..." "I would not have returned." " What about Tippin?" " It's insignificant." "He doesn't know anything." "And you can't kill him now." "It'll call attention." "I will see to it that he never writes another article again." "Sloane just talked to me." "There are times in life... when we don't listen to our heart." "To what we know to be true." "In those moments, we've lost who we are." "We've betrayed ourselves." "Questioning your loyalty, your virtue... was one of those lost times for me." "Dixon is a good man." "He still believes, as I once did, that SD-6 is a classified division of the CIA." "That's the hardest part about working undercover." "Having to lie to the people that you care about?" " Anything from Vaughn?" " Nothing." "What's being done?" "We've got a team in Taipei." "They searched the warehouse." " I searched the damn warehouse." " They're tracking every lead." "Don't give me the company line." "Vaughn might not be in Taipei!" "He's my friend, too." "Sydney, I promise you, we're looking as hard as we can." "I know this is tough for you." "But you have to focus." "I know." "SD-6 wants to send me on a mission to Cap Ferrat, France." "Why?" "What's there?" "La Petite Rose." "The estate of Jean-Marc Ravais." "Member of the French National Assembly." "Since the destruction of Khasinau and Derevko's headquarters in Taipei... thank you, Sydney... some of their organization have been exposed." "Ravais is one of those men." "We believe he helped finance their operation and is the key to finding Khasinau, your mother, others who have worked with them, and bringing them to justice." ""Bringing them to justice. " I love that." "Arvin Sloane talking about justice." "What does Sloane want you to do?" "Your mission is to gain entry into Ravais' house and plant a bug in his office, assuming that you're feeling up to it." "I'll be fine." "Marshall." "Thank you." "Anyway." "What we have here is a phone." "You might find..." "It's talking to..." ""Hello." "Mom." "Yeah." "Mom, no." "I will be there." "Listen, is Aunt Ruthie gonna be there?"" "Ubiquitous object with infinite designs." "Color, wiring, components." "A guy like me, designing a bug, first I have to figure out what type of model the phone is that I'm bugging." "And then I have to design it so it's invisible." "Welcome to a new age." "This bug, it's in the wire." "All right." "It's a universal design." "Works on any phone." "All you got to know is what country the phone's in." "How you doin'?" "Bug's in the wire." "That's good." "We'll get CIA Tech to make you a delay transmitter." "We can control what SD-6 hears." "Meanwhile, CIA hears it all." "Listen." "About Vaughn." "I'm praying, too." "So instead of going to Taipei, helping in the search for Vaughn," "I'm leaving for France in half an hour." "One more thing." "You haven't said anything about your mother." "What am I supposed to say?" "Something insightful?" "The first time I see my mother in 20 years, she almost kills me." "Which would have made me the 13th CIA officer she's killed." "She's former KGB." "She's betrayed my father." "She's betrayed me." "She's betrayed this country." "All anyone needs to know about that woman is she's a bad guy." "I think this was a good beginning." "Like I said..." "I can handle the problems I've got." "Dr. Khasinau, Mr. Ravais is calling." "Bluebird, you close?" "Almost there." "Damn it!" "You all right?" "Just my shoulder." "I'm good." "We go to stage one." "Hors d'oeuvres are tasty." "Don't forget." "You can bring me back a few." "Can you get upstairs?" "I think so." "Second door on the right?" "Yes." "Second door on the right." "What's up?" "We got a signal?" "We got a signal." "Un, deux, trois, quatre, cinq, six." "Let's let SD-6 hear that." "Un, deux, trois, quatre, cinq, six." "I got you, Bluebird." "Get out of there." "I'll be finished in 20 minutes." "Yes, sir." "Vaughn, get up." "We have to get out of here." "Come on." "Come on." "They're gonna be back in a second." "Syd?" "I'm so sorry." "I'm gonna shoot you with adrenaline." "We have got to run." "Don't do that." "Come on!" "Come on!" "That hurt." " I'm sorry." " Don't be." "Where are we?" "France." "France?" "Really?" "France." "There's too much to explain." "I have to get back." "You can get back to Los Angeles, right?" "What?" "You saved my life." "I'll see you back in L.A." "So, the operation in France must have gone well." "Your spirits seem lifted." "The doctor said Vaughn's going to be all right, so..." "Okay, I see what you're thinking, and the answer is no." "There is no line being crossed." "He's my handler." "Vaughn and I have a professional relationship." "Well, actually, I was thinking about your reporter friend." "Will isn't doing so well." "In Taipei, he was tortured." "But in some ways, things have gotten even worse." "The only way SD-6 will let you live is if you destroy the life you've got." "But you can't think of another way than this?" "Yes, I can think of other ways." "But they all involve your burial." "Is that your idea of a joke?" "You're morbid, Jack." "You'll be taken to a drug house in South Central." "An hour later, there will be a raid." "The most critical thing is that you face the press yourself." "If you don't go public with this, you'll be a dead man." "I'm scared." "I know." "You ready?" "Heroin?" "Francie, I'll explain everything later, okay?" "We should go out the back." "There's a bunch of reporters waiting for you." "No." "I want to go out the front." " Mr. Tippin!" " Did SD-6 do this to you?" "Is it true you were found with heroin in your blood?" "My problem with heroin goes back three years." "I'm embarrassed for myself and my family when I tell you most of what I've written during that time has been fiction, including my most recent report about an organization that I called SD-6." "These were desperate..." "As hard as that is to watch, your friend is very lucky." "It could have ended up much worse." "You know how much I care about you, Sydney." "I did it for you." "Spared Will's life." "I didn't want to see you lose someone else to SD-6." "Thank you." "And there's something else." "Something I want to ask you." "It would mean a great deal if you would speak at Emily's service." "You okay?" "Fantastic." "He's in the bathroom." "How bad?" "It's just... bad." "Look, I have to meet with my realtor." "I'll be back in an hour." "Can you watch him?" "Francie." "He's gonna be okay." "I was just sitting there... putting my stuff from my desk into this cardboard box." "And I look up, and everybody from the office is just staring at me." "So I left my office this afternoon for the last time." "I got a lot of, "Take care, man. "" " I got a lot of that." " I'm so sorry, Will." "Hey, I'm sitting here." "I'm on a couch." "I'm alive." "Is anybody listening to us right now?" "No." "That lamp has a bug killer in it, so we're safe here." "Hey, how's your mouth?" "I'm gonna be fine." "I lose my health insurance the same day I need a root canal." "Who is it?" "Just say "good guys" or "bad guys. " I'll understand." "Good guys." "When I was a kid, I was a swimmer." "I could swim the 100 meters in 68 seconds." "I can't tell you how irrelevant that was that night we were in Taipei." "There have been some incredible inventions over the years." "But none more incredible than the screwdriver." "None." "I thought I was home free." "But they knocked me out." "Next thing I knew, I was in France." "When I saw you behind that window," "I swear to God, I thought you were dead." "We intercepted a call from one of Khasinau's operatives." "They made reference to something called "the bible. "" " What is it?" " A book." "An operations manual for their cartel." "Contacts, weapons and tech inventory, objectives." "Information Khasinau and your mother need to rebuild." "If we retrieve this book, we can prevent that." " Any idea where this bible is?" " It was Taipei." "When the lab was destroyed, this operative who called Khasinau grabbed the book." "He's planning on handing it to Khasinau tomorrow at the Port of Barcelona, pier 347." " Does SD-6 know?" " That's what's so genius." "The delay transmitter lets us control the signal." "We didn't let them hear the call." "You're going to Spain." "You leave in 30 minutes." "Anything?" "Not yet." "So, there's some really good restaurants in Barcelona." "Yeah, I know." "You know what I was thinking?" "I think I do." "If we could be seen in public, we'd get the bible and get a bite." "Yeah, can the whole team come?" "We're starving." "We've got Khasinau." "Everyone hold position." "Get ready to move." "The courier's got a briefcase." "It's got to be the bible." "We move in on 3." "Everybody into position." "1... 2..." " Get out now!" " Out of the car!" " Let me see your hands!" " Drop the case!" "Out of the car!" "Down on the ground!" "Now!" "Drop the case!" "Drop the case!" "Let me see your hands!" "Out of the car!" "Cover him!" "Now!" "Right now!" "Right now!" "Who the hell is firing?" "Weiss, I'm going after the shooter." "Bravo team, take the dry dock to the west!" " Charlie team, to the east!" " Weiss!" "It's okay." "It's okay." "Relax." "Freeze!" "Drop the suitcase." "Hands behind your head." "On your knees." "Drop it." "Hands behind your head." "Get on your knees." "Head to the ground." "Truth takes time." "Do you have a minute?" "You all right?" "Have you heard?" "What?" "Sit down." "I had Emily's funeral this morning." "Sloane's wife." "You're eulogizing the bastard's wife?" " Yes." " The devil's wife?" "The wife of the guy who had Danny killed." "The guy who wanted to kill me." "Despite being married to a truly horrible man," "Emily was a good person." "If the people who cared about her don't speak because of him, there's no justice in that." "It just makes him stronger." "You can't see this bruise, right?" "So this is what your life is?" "Lying to everybody all the time." "I've only been doing it for a few days, and it's killing me." "When you found out about me..." "I was just terrified." "Because I saw what happened when Danny learned the truth." "But I was also selfishly so relieved." "Because it meant that you knew." "That I didn't have to think every time we spoke." "I could just be me." "We're back here." "No bruises." "I got the space." "I'm opening a restaurant." " Congratulations." " That's great." "Thank you." "I met Emily shortly after I started working at Credit Dauphine." "Like many young women, I was intimidated... by the world." "I was sort of desperate for a little guidance." "As he had been for most of my life, my father was working." "I had lost my mother when I was 6." "So I didn't have anyone to go to." "No role model." "Arvin invited me for dinner one night." "I remember after dinner was over..." "Emily walked me out to the car." "I didn't know her at all." "And she said in this simple, reassuring voice..." ""You're gonna be okay. "" "Thinking of Emily, I often wondered about my own mother and what she would have been like had she lived." "Would she have been as strong as Emily, or as kind?" "As good?" "I always told myself that she would have had those qualities." "And though I couldn't see them..." "I simply believed them." "But Emily wasn't just the mother I never had." "She was the mother all of us wish we had." "Dad?" "Devlin just called." "CIA had a walk-in." "She just surrendered." "She said she wants to cooperate." "Who?" "Your mother." "I'm not sure this is a problem I know how to handle."
