"Prevlously on "Alias"..." "Okay, Dixon, I'm in." "Stand by." "Sydney, you're looking for VaSlli Kabilov, I.D. tag C-1 6." "What's going on?" "We just heard about the codes you acquired." "They have nothing to do with troop communications." "They're the control codes for Slx nuclear warheads that the Uzbeks and Intelligence have confirmed went missing Slx months ago." "Do you know where the nukes are?" "Yes, I do." "They're in Kashmir, under what used to be a maximum-security prison camp." "You're gonna lead us into that prison." "I handed those codes to SD-6." "Your guilt is unfounded." "You were doing your job." "I'm going, Dad." "I am not about to let Irina Derevko near Slx nuclear weapons supervised only by you." "If you're lying, none of us will survive." "The only reason you know about the nukes is me." "We'll miss our window unless you jump!" "Shut up!" "Right now we have Slx suitcase nukes that are going to be activated tomorrow." "Is that confirmed?" "CIA doesn't have any details." "This is Mountaineer." "Listen to me, fighter planes are in the sky." "You have to leave." "We've got the cores." "Tell them to call off the air strikes!" "This is Vaughn." "Abort the air strikes." "Abort the air strikes." "SYDNEY:" "When I found out my mother faked her death 20 years ago, after mourning her for most of my Iife, she was still alive," "I tried to imagine what it would feel like to stand in a room with both of my parents again." "It seemed impossible." "That two people with so much deceit between them could ever find a way to breathe the same air." "And all of a sudden, there we were, just the three of us." "Walking down a dirt road in the middle of Kashmir." "When we were out there working as a team, it was comforting." "We were ambushed, and we fought back." "And we survived." "Yeah, my parents and I sort of went through the same thing." "Thanks." "Thanks a lot." "Vaughn told me Devlin approved you to do research if you pass the Moglin-Reich Allegiance Test." "This is your S.O.P. on where to meet for the pickup." "Remember to " "Drop it." "Yeah." "FRANCle:" "Hey." "What's up?" "Hey, where you been?" "Listen, every time I walk in the room lately, you guys hush up as if I'm interrupting." "I mean, am I?" "What?" "No." "We were just talking." "Why don't you have a seat?" "I can't." "I forgot my keys." "I gotta open the restaurant." "I'll see you." "Yeah." "Kendall's allowed me 15 minutes here, twice a week." "You put in the request, didn't you, to give me time out here?" "Yeah." "We appreciated your help in Kashmir." "I need you to understand." "I was 18 when the KGB recruited me." "For a woman to be asked to serve her country, it was a future." "It meant empowerment, independence." "I was a fool to think that any ideology could come before my daughter." "Sydney?" "Stand down!" "Back off now!" "Let me see your hands!" "Keep them up!" "What is this?" "We have an arrangement." "Yes, the one you failed to live up to." "Our operation in Kashmir was a waste of SD-6 resources." "We acquired nothing." "So, my question is, have you betrayed me, or are you Slmply incompetent?" "This interrogation technique was developed by the Khmer Rouge." "Minimize bruising on political prisoners when they were allowing them to be photographed." "You see, if I pull this just a Iittle harder, the glass will break, and I do not want to do that." "So tell me." "Do you think we were unlucky on our first venture together?" "Or do you have another plan that you want to tell me about?" "I didn't betray you." "We agreed to combine our efforts." "I swear to you." "That's still my intent." "Then tell me, what went wrong in Kashmir?" "The Indian Western Command carried out an air strike on the PRF prison." "The Rambaldi artifact was destroyed." "My contact in the region, Gerard Cuvee, believes I tipped the Indian authorities off." "With all due respect, Slr, could the leak have come from this office?" "Sloane has no idea you sabotaged the operation in Kashmir?" "If he did, we wouldn't be having this conversation." "Slnce Sark failed to deliver on his promise, their partnership may not last for long." "Unfortunately, it isn't over yet." "Sloane is sending me to Paris with Sark tonight." "Why?" "SLOANE:" "The Echelon Satellite System." "Phone calls, E-mails, faxes from around the world are filtered through a program capable of flagging words on an N.S.A. list." "Echelon has been immeasurably successful in indicating threats to our national security." "Mr. Sark has provided new intelligence indicating that an enemy of this country may have acquired the ability to access this terminal." "Gerard Cuvee." "Former leader of the People's Revolutionary Front, a crime syndicate whose headquarters were raided by Indian authority last week." "My dealings with Mr. Cuvee go back several years." "He showed me an Echelon terminal he stole from the N.S.A." "that he keeps at a front company in Paris." "Attention by local authorities led Cuvee to believe" "I betrayed him." "He's sure to move the terminal to an undisclosed location." "Surveillance intercepted an operations log indicating an armored transport has been scheduled for a pickup tomorrow afternoon." "We believe that's when they'll be moving the terminal." "Sydney, you and Sark will intercept the convoy en route and bring the terminal back here safely." "VAUGHN:" "If Sloane gets ahold of that terminal," "The Alliance will eavesdrop on corporations," "law enforcement, political campaigns." "The potential for blackmail would be unlimited." "What's my countermission?" "I'll have Technical Services provide a deletion program." "You'll upload it onto the terminal." "When SD-6 turns it on, it'll wipe the hard drive clean." "Sloane will think Cuvee installed a fail-safe to prevent unauthorized access." "I'll do it on the return flight." "Sark and I are traveling separately to make sure no one can connect him to SD-6." "Oh, by the way, I'm meeting with Will to help him prep for his psych evaluation." "Thank you." "And I Iike it." "What?" "Your new suit." "Oh." "It's not new." "I just don't wear it that often." "I came from a funeral." "Alice's father died." "I'm sorry." "How is she doing?" "Okay." "Well, not really, but she'll be fine." "Let me know if you need anything." "Miss Bristow, hi, I know you have a plane to catch, but you mind doing a favor for me?" "Okay, will you take some snapshots around Paris with that for me?" "We have to maintain our cover." "My mom thinks I run I.T. Services for the bank." "So I Iike to composite myself into photographs for her." "I actually have an example." "There's me and The Sphinx." "I never actually left Southern California, but I Iike to show my mom all the places I've never really been to." "Would you mind?" "Not at all." "Okay." "Have a safe trip." "I don't like to fly, personally, but that's why I'm here and you're..." "I got some stuff to do." "Convoy's on the move." "E.T.A. five minutes." "I'm right behind the truck." "Copy that." "I'm in position." "It's a pity we're traveling separately." "We could have used the opportunity to get to know each other better." "Yeah, I'm broken up about that, too." "You're adept at keeping your curiosity in check." "Don't flatter yourself." "I'm referring to the fact your mother and I worked together before she went into hiding." "I learned a lot from her." "In some ways, I think of her as a mother myself." "Listen to me." "You and I have nothing in common." "We're not friends." "We're not gonna become friends." "You won't bait me with stories about a woman I never knew." "I don't get any consideration at all for the fact that" "I didn't tell Sloane you conspired to kill him?" "You can't expose me without exposing yourself." "Now I'm almost into the city's traffic-control network." "Get your head into the game." "How are your wounds healing?" "You obviously had the chance to betray us in Kashmir, but you didn't." "I don't imagine that means you decided to trust me." "Our previous dealings would indicate that your strategy here may be long-term." "So for now, I trust that your behavior's predictable." "By "previous dealings," you mean our marriage?" "You know, technically, we may still be husband and wife." "I'm sorry." "Sydney's on assignment with Sark." "It's my belief that he's still working for you." "You've coordinated your efforts to infiltrate SD-6 and the CIA." "Whatever you have in mind, I promise you, it won't work." "So I'm gonna offer you a deal." "I'll see you're relocated to a private residence on Puget Sound, under 24-hour surveillance, of course." "The illusion of freedom is better than none at all." "In exchange?" "In exchange, you'll confess, tell us what you're really doing here, why you've turned yourself in." "I'll give you time to consider my offer." "I see you." "I'm turning the intersection to red." "It is 2-for-1 day at Marshall's Tech Emporium." "Not only is this capable of penetrating two meters of steel, but it will also come equipped with a tear-gas munition, which will disable the guards." "Operators standing by." "Hello!" "I'm moving in to disable the escort car." "SYDNEY:" "Copy that." "[ Coughing ]" "Police!" "Police!" "[ Shouts in French ] Police!" "Police!" "It's empty." "The terminal's not there." "The truck's a decoy." "Get in the car!" "JACK:" "I got your message." "Yes, come in." "I want you to meet someone." "Jack Bristow, this is Ariana Kane." "Ms. Kane is the head of Alliance Counterintelligence." "She is the one who plugged the leak last year at SD-9." "impressive, particularly considering the guilty party attempted to frame you as the mole." "Men always call women crazy when caught with their pants down." "Ms. Kane is here to investigate the events leading up to Emily's disappearance and the attempts to blackmail me." "How much have you shared with him?" "He knows everything I know." "I'm aware of your reputation as a first-class strategist." "Tell me, where would you begin this investigation?" "With me." "Arvin's trusted me with everything" "I'd need to know to be the perpetrator." "If his standing within The Alliance were undermined," "I'd be a candidate to inherit his seat." "Motive." "Well, that's a hell of an answer." "It's the only thing you can say to diminish your viability as a suspect." "Not really." "Your awareness of game theory would invalidate my approach." "Therefore, the best course of action to take as a suspect is to Slmply tell the truth." "Well, as soon as you've officially eliminated the possibility of Agent Bristow as a suspect," "I'm sure he'll be quite happy to assist in your investigation." "Of course." "If you'll excuse me." "A pleasure." "All mine." "You ever have a dream where you're back at school and they won't let you graduate because you failed a test?" "I had that last night." "We don't screen for knowledge." "It's a psych profile." "So I can't fail, but I can find out I'm a sociopath." "Some of the questions on the test may seem shocking." "Like things you might punch someone out at a bar for asking." "I don't want to get ahead of myself, but if things go my way, what's next?" "You're cleared to read classified documents, and you get a government salary, which isn't much." "Compared to what I make now, it's much." "And be honest." "If you're caught in a Ile, you're disqualified." "Slnce we don't know how often SD-6 keeps tabs on you, it's too risky to take the test at a Federal building." "We've arranged for you to go to one of our fronts." "When you get there, the officer will lead you in the back room." "He'll tell you the shipping manifest was lost and that he needs your help." "He'll take you back, and that's where you'll take the test." "There's no time limit." "It shouldn't take more than an hour." "I can't believe the questions they asked." "Who would you rather kill?" ""A" your mother, "B" your father, "C" yourself, and "none of the above" wasn't an option." "What does that measure?" "How you see yourself in relation to authority." "Whether or not you'd sacrifice your life for your country." "Now, that actually makes sense." "I got Francle tickets to the Hollywood Bowl for her birthday from both of us." "Great." "Thank you." "You know, she was right about what she said." "We used to tell each other everything." "I can't tell her anything." "I hate it, too." "But after Danny and what happened to you," "I've accepted that it's a gesture of love to deceive the people I care about." "What?" "Hey, what are you doing here?" "Rita, right?" "Alice, hi." "Hi." "Hey, Rita." "Hey." "This is Will." "Hey." "Michael." "Nice to meet you." "Nice to meet you." "Hi." "Alice." "Hi." "Michael and I work together at the State Department." "I was so sorry to hear about your dad." "Oh." "Thank you." "Michael's been amazing." "He's an amazing guy." "Oh, Rita, we're gonna be late." "We got to go." "I'm sorry." "Oh, it's no problem." "It was nice running into you guys." "You too." "Bye." "See you." "The Echelon access terminal that you retrieved in Paris was rigged with a boot-sector fail-safe." "When we turned it on, the hard drive was erased." "The good news is Mr. Cuvee is no longer in possession of the terminal." "The bad news is that he may still have a way to access Echelon." "One of Cuvee's men placed a call to a data-storage facility in London." "This facility caters to high-end clients." "It's likely Cuvee duplicated the Echelon software and had them stored in a secure server there." "He could reverse engineer a new terminal." "Sydney, you'll acquire the files and delete them from Cuvee's backup server." "Mr. Sark has provided Marshall with tech specs on the facility." "Actually, yeah, actually, about that." "The facility's wired with electronic countermeasures, and the computer's secured via military-grade encryption." "Any decryption device or radio contact would be detected." "The only way the terminal can be accessed is by someone who knows how to crack polymorphic algorithms." "My math skills may be above average, but I can't do calculus in my head." "That's why you're going in with Marshall." "Marshall who?" "Wait a minute." "What?" "You're the only one qualified to hack the server without an electronic device." "I can't go because I'm not field rated." "You will be by the time you leave." "Sark will help you review the parameters." "I'm sure Sydney will take very good care of you." "We got your debrief." "If Marshall succeeds in copying those files," "Sloane will reboot the terminal." "Marshall has a photographic memory." "Once the files flash across the screen, he'll remember them." "I can't just give SD-6 a fake Marshall." "No." "But we can pull him out of SD-6." "What?" "Devlin made it clear we cannot allow SD-6 to access Echelon." "Sabotaging the mission is risky after Kashmir." "Sloane could start to suspect something." "We've considered every option, Syd." "There's no other way to do this." "When you and Marshall return, we'll take him into protective custody." "He'll be transported to Langley for a debrief." "As ridiculous as this sounds, SD-6 is his whole life." "It's never easy finding out everything you believe in is a Ile." "We'll do whatever we can to make it easier for him, I promise." "And he'll have the option to work for us." "What about his mother?" "Will they be able to make contact?" "That will be up to Marshall, but we can bring her into custody." "What's my cover story with Sloane?" "As far as you'll know, the mission went without a hitch." "We'll intercept Marshall on his way home." "I should pack." "Listen, about the bar." "Did you see the security camera?" "We sent an agent to pull the tapes so we couldn't be tied together." "Good." "Alice seems really nice." "She said the same thing about you." "How long have you known Arvin Sloane?" "JACK:" "For 30 years." "When we met, he was my superior at the CIA." "Yes, and once he left the CIA, he invited you to work at SD-6?" "Yes." "We were disillusioned with the U.S. government." "We'd come to see it as corrupt." "And we believed then as we do now that The Alliance would succeed in achieving global dominance." "You have been so close all these years." "Why do you imagine he recruited your daughter without telling you?" "Because he knew I would have been opposed to it." "Trust doesn't come easily to Arvin Sloane." "So while I may not have approved," "I now accept that he recruited Sydney to ensure he'd never have to take my loyalty on faith." "You're asking me to believe that Sloane took your daughter hostage to ensure your friendship?" "In our line of work, we can't just cry foul when things don't go our way." "With whom have you had intimate contact over the past 10 years, Agent Bristow?" "I'm curious to know where you're going." "More secrets has been revealed through pillow talk than torture." "If there's a prostitute or a stewardess out there you think may have heard you in your sleep, I need to know." "There is one way for you to verify if my nocturnal activities are a security risk, Ms. Kane, but somehow I think we'd both prefer the torture." "What happened to that gentleman I met in Sloane's office?" "He got tired of your baseless accusations." "Good." "I don't trust anyone who doesn't know when he's being insulted." "Are we through?" "Yes." "For now." "A.P.U. Set." "Aft cargo heat." "Set." "Hydraulic pumps." "Set." "What are you doing?" "I patched into the network and logged onto the computer." "I just want to make sure the pilots don't miss anything." "[ Engines whirring ]" "What was that?" "The flaps extending." "Totally routine." "Is this your first time on a plane?" "Yeah." "I couldn't sleep, so I memorized the flight ops manual." "Sorry." "Sorry." "I'm just a Iittle nervous." "You're sweating." "You should take your jacket off." "No way, no way." "I compressed a high-glide tactical parachute in the lining of my jacket." "Don't worry." "My belt extends into a sling." "Just loop it around your waist." "It will hold us both." "Thanks." "You don't have to thank me." "It's my job to keep you safe." "[ Beeping ]" "That is not a plane sound." "That could be bad." "Marshall." "Oh, a Iittle kid playing." "Is that all right?" "Is he allowed?" "Onboard play." "You're not supposed to." "Sorry." "Can I get a ginger ale?" "I don't think I've seen you so handsome." "And you look lovely, my dear." "Shall we?" "We shall." "Whoa." "This is so cool." "Hey, how's it going?" "Good to see you." "Hey, how's it going?" "How you doing?" "Hi." "Nice to see you." "The key to doing this right." "Be inconspicuous." "Right, sorry." "I just didn't." "Hey, how's it " "You don't have to say hi to everybody." "Box seats have been reserved at Royal Hall behind this man." "Thatcher Powell, Cuvee's head of I.T. Security and the only man with access to his secure server." "Powell attends the London Philharmonic every third Saturday and takes in the performance with a bottle of Cristal." "You know, Bach is my favorite composer." "Are you speaking to me?" "I bet you didn't know that in the Iast piece Bach composed, he encoded his name into the musical notes." "He was the most ingenious composer of the Baroque movement." "I always say, if it ain't Baroque, don't fix it." "Pardon my husband." "He does tend to prattle on." "Sorry." "Once Powell ingests the scopolamine, it will take effect in roughly five minutes." "The idea is to make Powell believe he merely fell asleep." "The dose will be mild." "Once you steal the access card, get across town to the facility, download the Echelon software, and return the key to his pocket before intermission." "There will be a car waiting for you out front." "[ classical music plays ]" "Psst." "Oh, thank goodness you're still open." "I'm Marle Robinson." "This is my associate Frederick Flelds." "We work for Jennings Aerospace." "The New York office just paged me." "Our CFO's laptop was stolen." "We need access to our backup server." "May I have your P.I.N. number?" "861 19." "You're on server 13." "Second floor." "Oh, thank you." "We won't be more than 10 minutes." "SD-6 opened an account at the data-storage facility under the name Jennings Aerospace." "Your client status will get you past the desk, and the security staff will be reduced for the night shift." "Slnce Cuvee is paranoid, he's leased out the third floor as his own." "You need to break into the third floor to access the server." "Syd, you were amazing." "You were acting, spying." "Ready to do your magic?" "I'm ready for anything." "GUARD:" "How did you get up here?" "This area's restricted." "[ Shouting gibberish ]" "Slr, you're going to have to come with us." "Syd, I've been shot!" "Oh, my God!" "Oh, my God!" "Oh, my God!"

"Thank God for the British and their anti-gun laws, right?" "I'm okay, I'm okay." "What were you saying?" "I think I said, "I can smell you from here," in Ewok." "Ewok." "Official language of the indigenous creatures on Endor." "I think I peed myself a Iittle." "I mean, not a lot, just like a Iittle squirt." "Marshall, stay with me." "Stay with me." "I'm okay." "Are you okay?" "Yeah." "You sure?" "Yeah, I'm okay." "I got a Iittle." "Let's walk." "I can walk." "Okay, okay, hang on." "Hang on there." "Hang on." "Okay." "3." "Okay, stay awake." "Stay awake." "Come on, come on." "Come on, come on." "Stay awake, stay awake, stay awake." "Marshall, focus!" "I love you." "Ohh." "The Echelon software is on this computer." "You have to access it."
