"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." "Bristow's CIA contact:" "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." "Bristow's mother, formerly Russian intelligence, recently turned herself in to the CIA." "Mom?" "Intel indicates she may still be an enemy of the United States." "The true loyalty of Agent Bristow's mother remains unknown." "Previously on "Alias"..." "I want to make something very clear." "If Sydney, in any way, becomes victim to your endgame," "I will kill you." "You haven't told her what you did to her after I disappeared, have you?" "Mom says there are no explosives or anti-intrusion devices." "She says the building is clean." "We can't trust this information." "Unless she wants to prove herself." "That's the thinking that will get you killed." "We're sending you to Madagascar to retrieve the bible." "You, too." "Prepare to leave tonight." "Let's move it." "Jack, I owe you, but why 30 pounds of Semtex?" "I need you to make sure that if anyone enters that building, no one will survive." "Sydney, hold your entry." "That building is wired to explode." "I need you to look under the house." "Is there a crawl space?" "She lied to me." "Five weeks ago," "Irina Derevko surrendered herself to the CIA." "She claimed she wanted to cooperate, to seek restitution for the crimes she committed against the United States." "During the next several weeks," "Irina Derevko provided meaningful intelligence to the CIA." "On several occasions..." "Pardon the interruption, Agent Bristow." "Let's talk about last week." "The incident in Madagascar." "Before Derevko turned herself in to the CIA, as leverage, she concealed her organization's operations manual." "Last week, the CIA discovered where it was hidden." "When I told Derevko that I was going in to retrieve the manual, she informed us that the building was safe to enter." "In truth, it was a trap." "Derevko had rigged it with explosives." "Just as we were about to enter the building, an agent spotted something on the satellite imagery." "That agent was your father." "Yes." "He saved my life." "I wanted to stand in this cell, just once." "You tried to warn me about her so many times." "I'm so sorry that I didn't listen to you." "Some things you need to experience for yourself." "I imagine every parent tries to protect their children from that truth." "I never said thank you for saving my life." "We're due for a briefing at SD-6." "We should go." "Niels Hater, the so-called Austrian connection, was murdered yesterday in Vienna." "The bold nature of the hit, the disregard for collateral damage, indicates the work of the Triad." "Hater was Triad." "They killed one of their own?" "Yes, we believe so." "The Triad?" "You never mentioned them." "It's a coalition of organized crime entities." "They deal in drugs and prostitution, but they've made a significant foray into weapons." "So why did they kill Hater?" "Because he was selling intel to SD-6." "In his last communication to our sources in Vienna," "Hater informed us that the Triad was engaged in a plot to deploy and develop 16 next-generation weapons." "Any idea what "next generation" refers to?" "No, which is a major source of concern." "According to the communiqué, testing of the weapons is advancing ahead of schedule, which means they may soon be put into the field." "Do we know where these weapons are now?" "Budapest." "During the Cold War, the Russians built a bomb shelter underneath the magistrate's bureau." "The Triad has been using that shelter to serve as a testing facility." "Your mission is to gain access, identify the weapons, retrieve the specs and test data off the central server, and then proceed to the R  D lab and photograph the weapons." "So that SD-6 can engineer the weapons for themselves." "Which we won't let happen." "I'll confer with your father about your countermission." "My father?" "He didn't tell you?" "Based on your father's instincts in the Madagascar incident," "Devlin gave him operational approval." "When you and I were approaching that building, ops was monitoring our progress via SAT radar scan." "Now, at the last moment, your father switched to infrared, which is how he saw the explosives." "We don't have routine satellite coverage over Madagascar." "One had to be retasked." "Now, the closest one was over the Indian Ocean, yet your father specifically requested the one over the South Atlantic, which, of the two, is the only one that has infrared capability." "He wanted to account for every possibility." "Probably." "Or it's possible that he already knew there'd be explosives at that entrance." "I don't see how." "He never trusted my mother's motives, but he..." "You think my father wired that entrance to set up my mother?" " We were nearly killed." " I know." "If there had been interference..." "You have to admit, it wouldn't be the first time." " Meaning what?" " Rusik." "Rusik?" "I was a prisoner." "Sloane was about to have me executed." "I don't know why you're denying this." "I understand your authority has been superceded by my father, and that maybe you feel irrelevant." "But he saved our lives." "Remember that." "I will wait to hear from you." "Hi." "You look fabulous." "So do you." "I am so proud of you." "Thank you." "Where did you find all these people?" "I invite 100 people, thinking maybe 70 will show up." "He tells his entire N.A. Gang." "I'm sure they're fantastic people, but we make 90% of our profits from the bar." "They don't drink." "The plane leaves for Budapest in an hour." "You'll meet Dixon at the airport." "When you get into the testing facility, you'll log onto their computer." "Sloane expects you to disable the firewall so that SD-6 can hack in and download the specs for the next-gen weapons." "Once you've accessed the computer, contact the CIA and give us the I.P. Address." "We'll download the specs." "Here." "Memorize this number." "This is the I.P. Address you'll give Dixon." "He'll think he's accessing the Triad's computer, but he'll be on a CIA server." "We've set up some dummy files for him to download." "Anything else?" "Sydney, Washington has made a decision regarding your mother." "What she did to you invalidated her agreement with the CIA." "The government is pressing charges." "They're going to seek the death penalty." "Hey, daddy." "Hey, Craig." "What are you doing in L. A?" "Madagascar customs picked up a U.S. National transporting explosives." "They brought him to L.A." "I'm babysitting him to New York." "Listen, I heard about Weiss." "How's he doing?" "It was rough, but he's gonna be okay, which is more than I can say about the staff." "Wait till he gets home." "He's gonna be insufferable." " Listen, I have to..." " Yeah, go." "I'll be back next month." "I want to play ball." "Well, you think you're ready?" "That's cute." "Craig, the guy with the explosives, was it Semtex?" " Vintage Russian stuff." " Yeah, that's right." " And he's here in L.A." " For the next two hours." "I have to talk to him." "He's with me." "Manolo de Souza, I'm Agent Vaughn." "Has anyone offered you a drink?" "I'm sure I could find you a soda." "This is not a good time to be a terrorist, Manolo." "A couple years ago, you would have had some civil rights." "Now we just throw you in a cell, no attorney, no due process." "So, who were you working for?" "In that case, we'll just let the pictures tell the story." "Satellite photos showing you rigging a plantation building in the jungle near Sambava." "Those photos are all we need to put you away for your life." "So I'm going to ask you one more time, do you want that soda?" "I was working for you, you son of a bitch." "CIA." "Through what office?" "My contact was Jack Bristow." "You tell that bastard I'm not taking the fall on this." " Test, 1, 2, 3." " Good." "Once you disable the firewall, I'll download the database while you access the room and take photos of the weapons." "The guards change shift at noon." "That gives you 10 minutes to get in place." " How do I look?" " Lip gloss." "What I have is a ordinary tube of lip gloss." "Let's say you're at the beach, and "my lips are chapped,"" "or you're on a date, it's the end of the night, you want your lips to be supple." "Pistachio." "That's my favorite flavor." "But you flip it over, and it's a miniature camera with compressed air injector." "Go ahead and smile, 'cause you're on TV." "And..." "Anyway, there's three cameras inside the tube." "I wanted to make four, but there wouldn't be room for the actual lip gloss." "You know, I'll make you a fresh one." "So, you're making a family tree?" "It's a present for my grandparents." "They're both from Budapest, but they lost everything in the war." "I'm certain you'll find the documentation of their marriage, and you should be able to find their registration of birth." "Our records are very complete dating back to 1895." "Older than that, unfortunately, not so thorough." "Good work, Syd." "Birth records are here." "Over there, documentation of marriage and death." "The correlation is unintended." "Please." "8-2-4..." "One problem." "All documents are in Hungarian." "How do you expect to know what they're saying?" "That's good." "My grandparents taught me." "All right, Syd, you're clear." "The combination is 8-2-4-0-2." "Stand by." "I'm going radio silent." "Okay, Syd." "Standing by." "Mountaineer in position." "Come in, Boot Camp." "Copy that, Mountaineer." "Stand by for I.P. Address, Boot Camp." "Boot Camp, I.P. Address is 199. 181. 134. 104." "I have opened port 47." "Good work, Mountaineer." "Go ahead, give the dummy I.P. To Dixon." "See you at home." "Copy that." "Dixon, I've disabled the firewall." "The I.P. Address is 259. 10.3. 179." "Good work, Syd." "Now go get some pictures of the weapons, and we're out of here." "The viewing room is around the corner to your left, door marked..." "Copy that." "You're clear to exit." "go." "Sydney, you've got company." "Two guards coming on your left." "16 next-generation weapons." "We had no idea the 16 next-generation weapons would turn out to be children." "They were being trained as sleeper agents?" "That appears to be the case." "See, the best spies have certain traits, proficiency with numbers, 3- dimensional thinking, creative problem-solving." "These abilities are in evidence as early as 5 years old." "This is footage we downloaded from the Triad computer." "Every first-grader in the European Union takes a test." "A few years ago, the Triad acquired the company doing the testing and added questions to locate children with these traits." "This year, 28 children were indicated." "Their parents were sent letters inviting them to participate in a month-long achievement program." "16 accepted." "6- year-olds acquire knowledge at an incredible rate, so the basic skills of marksmanship, linguistics, visual, verbal cue recognition, it can all be taught in a matter of weeks." "Who is he?" "We're still working on that." "So what happens to these kids at the end of the month?" "Triad sends them home with the intent that when they're grown, they will contact these kids and send them out in the field." "There was a rumor the KGB began developing a similar program in the '80s, but we never confirmed it." "Before these kids are sent home, their memories are reset?" "Yeah, that's right." "They remember nothing except that it was satisfying." "Someone forged my wife's name in the registry at her favorite bed and breakfast weeks after her death." "My concern is that it's intended to be a message." "You have enemies, Arvin." "Clearly, one of them is trying to leverage your grief." "It's not my grief." "It's my guilt." "Cancer didn't kill Emily, Jack." "Emily's doctor told us that her cancer was in remission." "That very day, The Alliance told me that I was being considered for partner, but that there was a problem." "Somehow Emily had learned that..." "Well, she learned about my association with SD-6." "She didn't know the truth." "In fact, she assumed the lie." "That we're a branch of the CIA." "Despite that, The Alliance decided to make my promotion contingent on Emily's death." "My choice was an easy one." "I wasn't about to kill my wife." "Emily was not a bargaining chip." "Then I talked to her doctor." "And I was persuaded that despite this temporary remission, that Emily's lymphoma would return, and that it would slowly and painfully kill her." "She had already suffered so much, Jack." "The thought of her succumbing to this merciless illness or being killed by The Alliance..." "So I dissolved sodium morphate in a glass of red wine." "The wine put her to sleep, the sodium morphate then caused a heart attack." "She didn't suffer." "We'll find out who's doing this." "Jack?" "See who else was being considered for partnership." "I was given a seat at the table." "That means someone else was not." "I have this new friend on my work detail, Tommy Marijuana." "We call him that because there's Tommy Marijuana and Tommy Crystal Meth." "Tommy Marijuana thinks that we're always the person that we were in 6th grade." "6th grade was an awkward phase for me." "Come on." "You, awkward?" "Yeah, big teeth and little eyes." "I was a foot taller than everyone else." "I hunched over." "I wish I could have seen that." "I know when I was in 6th grade, I was anonymous." "You had the smart kid and the funny kid and the good athlete." "And I was just Will." "They're putting my mom on trial." "They're gonna ask for the death penalty." "The only way I'm able to deal with it is to tell myself that woman was never really my mother." "The irony is since she's been back, my father and I are closer than we've ever been." "It's Vaughn." "I have to go." "Hey, Vaughn, the guy with the Semtex, de Souza, are we looking into that?" "Excuse me?" "Is that our case, or were you pursuing it independently?" "I don't know what you're talking about." "Daily situation report says the guy was here yesterday." "You're listed as visiting him." "Vaughn?" "No, it's not our case." "Hello, Sydney." "Dad, hi." "Agent Vaughn contacted you?" "Have we identified the man from Budapest with the children?" "Yes." "Valerie Kholokov." " It's Kholokov?" " You've heard of him?" "He used to run KGB's psych ops division." "Mind-control experiments, psychoactive drugs." "I thought he was dead." "Well, so did we, but after the KGB dissolved, he went over to the Triad." "A facial-recognition scanner at the airport in Buenos Aires identified him yesterday." "What's he doing in Buenos Aires?" "He has a house there." "The project in Budapest is completed." "A team is raiding that facility as we speak." "The children have returned home, and we have teams monitoring them." "If the Triad makes contact, we'll intercede." "We need to grab Kholokov, see how many other kids he's done this to, where they are." " There's a team prepping now." " I want to go with them." "Sending you to Buenos Aires would be an unnecessary risk." "Kholokov has a private security detail, external and internal alarm systems." "When I signed up with SD-6, I wanted to join." "When I found out the truth..." "I mean, these kids..." "I know what it's like to be used." "I'm going to Buenos Aires." "Team leaves in 12 hours." "Anything else?" "That's all." "I'm going to pack." "I saw de Souza." "He told me that you hired him to rig those explosives." "Irina Derevko would eagerly destroy all of our lives." "I'm not a big fan, either." "It still doesn't justify what you did." "You do good work, Agent Vaughn, but your consistent shortcoming, you should know this, is your naive sense of morality." "Evil must be eliminated by whatever means necessary." "I don't think Sydney would agree." "Sydney will never know about what I've done." "You betrayed her trust." "I won't." "Now, she should hear it from you, but if you don't tell her, I promise you, I will." "Yes, sir?" "Why is my security system disabled?" "It was disengaged on site, sir, 10 minutes ago." "I'll put the system back on-line, sir." "Sir?" "Is everything okay?" "I'm going in." "The guard's been sedated." "Copy that, Mountaineer." "I make four guards in the courtyard." "Kholokov just went inside." "Get into position." "I'm heading to the juncture box." "You take the guards." "I got Kholokov." "On my signal." "And that's in 3... 2... 1..." "Go." " You good?" " Yes." "It's him." "It's Kholokov." "Nice job." "You want me to hypnotize you?" "I want you to take me back to whenever I first saw that puzzle." "But you say you don't remember ever seeing that puzzle." "I must have." "Agent Bristow, I've seen your profile." "Your spatial intelligence is stellar." "It's no surprise that you can solve the puzzle." "I wasn't solving it." "When I was staring at that puzzle," "I remembered where every piece belonged." "There wasn't any thought involved." "You said the KGB developed a similar project." "It's possible that my mother knew the techniques, and maybe she..." "Agent Bristow, if you are looking to uncover a trauma, then I need to warn you." "Hypnotic regression can trigger severe nightmares, flashbacks, acute depression." "Understand that to do what I do, maintain my cover at SD-6," "I compartmentalize a lot." "But the idea that I might have been programmed to be a spy..." "I can't tuck that away." "I need to know what happened to me." "Excuse me, sir." "I analyzed the wine." "Is this a good time?" "There's no fingerprints on the glass." "The wine is a '99 Hadley Cabernet Franc." "Unremarkable vintage." "What is remarkable is what I extracted from inside the wine." "I was so surprised that I redid the test, but I'm certain, it's VTX." "A calcium-based antidote." "Extremely scarce." "Antidote to what?" "Mainly heart attack-inducing toxins, kertotic acid, sodium morphate." "VTX simulates death." "It slows the lungs, nearly stops the heart, which is how it prevents the poisons from causing cardiac arrest." "And then when the VTX is metabolized, the body, it returns to normal." "So if someone who was poisoned by sodium morphate were given VTX, they would appear to die?" "Yes, sir." "Well, assuming they had no other heart conditions, in 8 to 12 hours, they would be just fine." "I'm going to count back from 3." "When I get to one, I want you to tell me where you are." "3... 2... 1." "Where are you, Sydney?" "It's me... in my room... when I was little." "Tell me if you see anything that resembles the puzzles we're looking for." "I'm taking care of her Christmas." "That'll be soon." "Christmas is all set." "Yes, I see it." "Nothing can happen to you now, Sydney." "You're safe." "Sydney, I want you to listen to me." "Just breathe." "Breathe." "Focus on the puzzle." "Focus on the puzzle." "Good, Sydney." "Very good." "Look around you." "Tell me who else is in the room." "Good work, Sydney." "Sydney, get in." "What is it?" "I have this memory, when I was 6 years old." "My mother had just died in a car accident." "I felt so scared." "You were never home." "So who was gonna take care of me?" "Then I overheard you talking." "You were in your study on the phone." "You were talking about Christmas, about me." "You were taking care of my Christmas presents." "Suddenly, I..." "I felt so safe." "You were taking care of me." "That memory's a lie." "You weren't talking about that at all." " Sydney." " I've seen the footage." "Mom's briefings with her KGB handlers." "She was sent here for one specific purpose, to steal information from you about a project you were developing for the CIA, an operation to train children to be American spies." "Project:" "Christmas." "Ever since Mom came back, you were afraid she'd figure out what you did to me." "You weren't trying to protect me from her." "You were trying to protect your secret." "So, the first opportunity you had, you set her up, in Madagascar." "Sydney, understand something." "No, Dad, you understand something." "You took away my choices in life." "You programmed me to be a spy." "I will never forgive you for this."
