Alias s01e05 Episode Script
Doppelgänger
Seven years ago, I was recruited to work for SD-6, which I was told was a covert branch of the CIA.
I was trained as a spy, warned not to tell anyone what I did.
I thought I was working for the good guys, until I told my fiancé about SD-6 and they had him killed.
That's when I learned the truth.
That SD-6 is part of the very enemy I thought I was fighting.
Now I'm a double agent, working with the real CIA to bring down SD-6, where my only ally is another double agent, a man I hardly know.
My father.
You think the winner of the Edgar Peace Prize is working with Luc Jacqnoud? Dhiren Patel is India's delegate to the U.
N.
There is no way he's working with Jacqnoud.
Your objective is to monitor the meeting, I.
D.
The client, and make sure whatever it is that Jacqnoud is up to doesn't happen.
If Patel's going to be our deliveryman, I'll need the piece by tomorrow.
Salud.
Damn it.
The little guy's bodyguard.
I know him.
From Corsica two years ago.
The son of a bitch broke my arm.
You.
I know you.
SLOANE: The man that Jacqnoud is meeting with is Malik Suari.
He specializes in industrial demolition.
You think Jacqnoud is going to plant an explosive on Patel.
Yes, I do, and I want you two to stop it.
- I have a 20 on Patel.
- Let's get him out of here.
Something's wrong.
He looks sick.
He just went down.
DIXON: If they're bombing this place, it's going to be tomorrow.
Opening ceremonies.
Uh, careful with that.
That's TNT.
Yes, don't kill us, please.
[Gasps.]
Recognize me now? Anyone else? [Radio clicks.]
Keep looking.
[Thud, Sydney grunts.]
I never did find out what you were doing in Corsica.
[Grunts.]
Are you working for Dimitri? [Gasping.]
Tell me now, or you're going into the fire.
[Gasping.]
Who sent you here? Are you here alone? Who sent you here? Answer me! Little bitch.
Get to level "C" now.
She got away.
[Men shouting.]
[Gunshots.]
[Tapping.]
[Speaking Italian.]
Oh, my God.
What time is it? Um [Speaking Italian.]
[Cellular phone rings.]
SYDNEY: Dixon, it's me.
Thank God.
Where have you been? I didn't sleep.
That doesn't matter.
Listen to me.
Have you spotted Patel? - [Crowd chanting.]
- He just showed up.
News agencies are reporting he had an arrhythmia.
Where'd they take him? What I'm about to say, Dixon, you have to believe me.
Of course.
The bomb we're looking for? It's inside of him.
- What? - Inside Patel.
They implanted the bomb into his chest like it was a pacemaker.
A simple outpatient procedure.
Jacqnoud just turned an Edgar Peace Prize winner into a human bomb, which is not good.
Did you see the device? Yeah, it's small.
Which means it's probably on a wireless remote.
Get Patel.
I'll meet you directly behind the auditorium.
I'll get there as soon as I can.
[Speaking Italian.]
[Crowd shouting.]
[Whistles blowing, horns honking.]
Ladies and gentlemen it is my honor to officially open the 2001 Ministerial Conference of the United Commerce Organization.
[Speaking Italian.]
Hey! [Tires screech.]
Please welcome our keynote speaker.
Ladies and gentlemen, Dhiren Patel.
I just punched Dhiren Patel in the face.
- Any luck with the trigger? - I worship this man.
When you were in the building, did you I.
D.
The trigger?! No, I didn't see anyone.
Oh, God.
[Applause fading.]
Please wait one moment.
I will be right back.
[Beeping.]
[Speaking French.]
[Valve squeaking, gas hissing.]
I know you've been field-trained basic medical, but can you really do this? Pull a bomb out of a man's chest? Yeah.
[Vehicle approaches, tires screech.]
[Beeping continues.]
It's Jacqnoud.
[Engine revs, tires screech.]
[Speaking French.]
Don't forget.
This thing's on a remote.
We can't let them get within range.
[Tires screeching.]
Get me closer.
Get me closer! [Tires screeching.]
[Horn blares.]
I can feel it.
Oh, God.
[Tires screeching, horns blaring.]
The police have a roadblock.
- Get around it.
- Oh, God.
[Speaking French.]
Get me closer! You've got to hurry! They put an adhesive on the incision.
It must have bled through.
It's stuck! [Mumbles.]
What? Closer.
- Oh, God.
- Wait.
[Beeping rapidly.]
What's that?! It's on a delay.
Just keep driving! - Now.
- [High-pitched tone.]
[Tires screeching.]
Nicely done.
You're gonna be okay.
[Breathes deeply.]
- That's insane.
- No kidding.
- Dixon pulled it out of him? - Yeah.
- Pulled the bomb out of Patel? - The very one.
Any luck with The Alliance member? The what? You were supposed to I.
D.
The minister SD-6 has been trying to protect.
Thanks, I remember.
No, I didn't get it.
Sydney, if we're gonna take down SD-6 I was busy trying to keep one of the most important humanitarians on the planet from blowing up! Fine.
Anyway, I have a paper to finish.
Hey.
I have something for you.
I know you have a lot of questions about your father.
I don't know if you want this but I copied his file.
Thank you.
[Door closes.]
Sorry I'm late.
Hey.
It's after 1:00 already? Yeah, it's 1:30.
Oh, God, you gotta be kidding.
Okay, so I'm in my operations and technology management class, and I realize two things.
One, I prepared the wrong chapter.
- No! - I don't want to talk about it.
And two, you and I are gonna have a Halloween party.
- We are? - Guest list.
- Oh! - What, is it too big? I think you put down everyone we've met since seventh grade.
You invited Kenny.
So? He's a kid.
It's Halloween.
Francie, if you want to see Charlie again, you don't have to throw a massive Halloween party and invite his nephew.
- I love Kenny.
- I know you do.
But just admit.
You're hoping, just a little, that Charlie will bring him.
[Chuckles.]
What? Is that Will? Maybe he's here to talk to you about the humiliating kiss.
- Stop calling it that.
- That's what it was.
I gotta call you back.
I'll call you back.
Bye.
Hey.
What are you doing here? Oh, I got this, uh I'm writing a story on SATs.
About how the university is - What are you guys doing? - Getting lunch.
We're having a Halloween party on Wednesday night.
Excellent.
I don't have to wear a costume, do I? - No.
- Yeah.
Really? That's confusing.
[Pager beeping.]
Let me guess.
The bank.
It's a meeting with the higher-ups on these bad loans.
Okay, seriously.
Your job? It's a problem, right? - I should go.
- We know.
- I'll call you guys later, okay? - Okay.
See ya.
SLOANE: This is Hensel Corporation.
A Germany-based chemical conglomerate.
They make lbuprofen, hand lotion, toothpaste.
They also have a multi-million dollar research-and-development fund with ties going back to World War II and the Third Reich.
They don't list the last part in their annual stock report.
This is Jeroen Schiller.
He's one of Hensel's leading biotech engineers.
He lives in Berlin.
We've been in communication with him since August.
The news is that Hensel has perfected a vaccine against biological weapons.
Schiller has access to that information.
He wants to make a trade.
What does he want in exchange? Safe passage to the United States.
He lives in Berlin.
Why can't he just take a cab to the airport? Germany's not the problem.
Hensel is.
Anyone who has top-level clearance is closely surveilled.
Your job is to I.
D.
Schiller.
Get him away from Hensel and into the United States.
What kind of extraction? Shipment.
Hensel is upgrading their intranet with fiber optics.
You go in as a Rhine Com network supervisor.
Now, unfortunately, this is the last documented photo of Schiller.
University of Hamburg, 1 975.
We had tech do an age-processing to give you some idea of what he might look like today.
You'll find it in there.
Marshall, go.
Right.
Thank you.
How is everyone? Hello.
Hope everyone's planning on having an enjoyable All Hallow's Eve.
Marshall.
Sorry.
Okay, this is pretty incredible.
Business card.
Something you might hand out.
For instance, "Hello, I'm a Rhine Com network supervisor," in German, of course, because English would probably give you away.
But the genius, the achievement, is this.
Even Sony would be like, "Whoa, Marshall, [Chuckles.]
pretty cool.
" What does it do? You place the card on top of his computer monitor.
There's a tiny transmitter inside.
This transmitter will override the cpu and make the network think that you are the sys admin uh, the system administrator.
- Wow.
- Oh, yeah.
You'll manually override the company's firewall.
Then Schiller will transfer the vaccine formula from his office to a Canadian-served website.
Then we'll get the password once Schiller's on American soil.
So I got your voice mail.
Please don't feel obligated.
No.
I asked Diane.
We're coming.
All of us.
You don't have to wear a costume.
- You didn't need to say that.
- Good.
Sydney.
Could I have a minute? Oh, of course.
I'll see you at Op Tech.
I, um We were closing a deal last Thursday.
I just couldn't get away.
You said that when you called.
It's fine.
This is an especially busy time for me, Sydney.
There are six different cases I'm overseeing.
Mm-hmm.
So until things slow down, we probably shouldn't make any plans.
I wasn't gonna pursue it.
I just wanted to clarify.
Good.
Hey.
This is Paul Kelvin.
Sydney Bristow.
- I know your father.
- Really? I hear that a lot.
We got to move fast.
I'm gonna jump in here.
The CIA's been watching Hensel Corp for years.
They're not really creating a vaccine, are they? Yes, but the U.
S.
Army has been doing parallel research that we thought was years ahead of the Germans until we got your intel.
So what are we afraid of? Schiller and his team have developed micro-encapsulated cytosines.
They activate the immune cells in your respiratory tract.
Do you know anything about this? A little.
You? A little.
Enough to know that SD-6 could sell this vaccine to a radical leader who wants to protect his own people and start an all-out biological war.
What am I supposed to do in Berlin? Instead of shipping Schiller, who we'll get out through Bamberg, we'll ship Kelvin.
He's already prepped to impersonate Schiller.
Based on available photographs, we think he's a pretty good match.
You'll make the switch in the building's garage.
You sure you're up for this? I'm not looking forward to it.
What about when Sloane wants you to give him the vaccine? He'll give them false information.
Kelvin's got a plane waiting.
- I'll see you in Berlin.
- Okay.
I've got to tell Dixon.
No.
Absolutely not.
How do I make a double switch invisible to my partner? He'll be there.
You cannot tell him the truth.
He might already know who he's working for.
- You don't know him.
- That's my point.
But I do.
You might be right about Dixon, but you can't volunteer a man for double-agent duty if he hasn't asked for it.
His whole life, his family.
You'd be putting all of that at risk.
You.
Is that a decision that you want to make for him? [Speaking German.]
I'm in.
Copy that.
All's quiet out front.
Herr Schiller? [Speaking German.]
You are the agent? Dixon, I think someone might be following me.
Meet me at Einsetzung instead of behind the building.
Copy that.
- I'm starting the gas now.
- [Gas hissing.]
You'll have two minutes until people regain consciousness.
[Gas hissing.]
[Beeping.]
[Beeps.]
[Engine revs.]
Dixon, I'm on Koenig Strasse.
I'm on my way.
[Engine revs.]
You win the argument at the end of every night I never know the perfect When you asked me to help you set up, you didn't say, "Will you help me set up all day," did you? - We're almost done.
- Almost done? What's left to cover that we haven't already covered with corn? I work with a professional party planner.
What's going on with work? You always talk about work.
You haven't even mentioned it today.
You want the truth? I wasn't working on an SAT story when I bumped into you guys.
There is no SAT story.
I was trying to track down a woman named Kate Jones.
She was supposed to be seated next to Danny on a flight from Singapore to Hong Kong.
You can't do this.
What was Danny doing on a flight to Hong Kong if Sydney was supposed to meet him in Singapore? Kate Jones and Danny were the only two people to miss that flight.
The only two.
I was at the medical school because I thought that maybe they'd have her name on file.
There's too many things about Danny's death that don't make any sense.
One of them is this woman.
I looked up every Kate, Kathy, Katherine, Kathleen Jones in L.
A.
County.
Plus I have a contact at the airport who said You can't do this.
Nothing is gonna bring Danny back.
When Sydney finds out what you've been up to, which you know she will Just think about that.
I want to see Mr.
Sloane.
Mr.
Schiller, I've explained this.
Sloane is not here.
Tell us the password to the website I only talk to Sloane.
That was the agreement.
If you were who you say you are, you would know that.
Mr.
Schiller, I swear to you.
Sloane is a liar.
He has nothing to do with the CIA.
So you say Sloane is a fraud? How do I know it's not you who is the fraud? You don't.
But you will.
[Door opens.]
How fast can we get a plane to Langley? Why? He wants proof we're CIA.
I don't think he's gonna believe us unless we walk him through the front door.
Hey, Vaughn, we're in.
What's this? This is the main reason we made the switch in Berlin.
We had Kelvin give Sloane access to a bogus website with just enough real information about the vaccine to keep them occupied for months.
Is that really worth risking a man's life? No, there's more.
Once SD-6 downloads and runs the bogus program, it'll give us a back door into their computer systems.
In other words, we have access to their entire network? Files, contacts, accounts? This is a huge step in shutting down SD-6.
Nice.
It was Agent Vaughn's idea.
You look so surprised.
No, I jus Yes, it was my idea.
Amazing idea.
Thank you.
I know.
This is very exciting.
Go tell Analysis.
It's good to finally meet you.
[German accent.]
Yes.
The travel was not so easy, Forgive me for being so Oh, no, no.
Not at all.
So, we have $200,000 in cash waiting for you.
Thank you.
You're welcome.
It's yours.
As soon as you tell us, and we confirm, the location of the plant.
Plant? Which plant? Where the prototypes are being made.
The vaccine inhaler.
You do know the location of the plant.
You see, I did not get information about any prototype.
I was never privileged to such information.
I have reason to believe you were.
So why don't you think about it? Why don't you think about everything? [Door opens.]
How's Schiller? I want to talk to you about your report.
Is something wrong? You wrote that Sydney changed the pickup from Einsetzung to the rear exit.
I met them on Koenig Strasse.
Was this decided upon before the extraction? - During.
- Why? She thought someone was following her.
Did you see someone following her? No, but I was outside the whole time.
I see.
If Sydney said there was someone following her, there was someone following her.
[Freestylers' "Get Down Massive" playing.]
[Chuckles.]
Hey, Kenny.
[Doorbell rings.]
Trick or treat! There's more candy in there.
Come on in.
- Good to see you.
- Good to see you.
Syd, can I talk to you for a second? [Door closes.]
What's up? Syd, we've been working together a lot of years.
I trust you.
- I trust you and I love you.
- I know.
If something's up, you'd tell me? What are you talking about? Sloane is asking about Berlin.
He thinks someone might have gotten to Schiller.
He thinks he might be a plant.
He wanted to know why you had me change the pickup to Koenig Strasse.
I told you I thought I was being followed.
Syd is there something I should know? No.
Sloane says there's a prototype.
An inhaler for the vaccine.
He wants us to go get it, but Schiller won't give up the location, which makes no sense.
That man should know where it is and has everything to lose by not telling us.
What's gonna happen to him? I think Schiller's in trouble.
But, Syd I think you are, too.
I was just an ordinary guy hangin' round That's when I got approached by a hoochie woman Here's my question.
Who eats this crap? It's like marzipan, but it's worse.
If it's a question between this or dirt, I would be all over the dirt.
Would you shut up about the candy corn? Okay.
You're bummed the kid came and Charlie didn't.
- Shh.
- What? You gave me some advice.
I took it.
Now it's my turn to give you some.
- What advice did I give you? - About the Kate Jones thing.
I'm giving it up.
You're right.
It can only end badly.
So it's my turn to give you some.
You love Charlie.
You don't want to lose him.
So don't be an idiot, okay? You gotta talk to him.
Don't deny it.
Don't wait.
Don't piss me off.
That's exactly what I did when I first met Sydney.
Use me as a cautionary tale and call Charlie.
[Cellular phone rings.]
Yeah.
Will Tippin.
Hi.
This is Kate Jones.
You called me? Yeah, um Did you know a guy named Daniel Hecht? Yes, I did.
Very well.
- [Door opens.]
- You can't go to Langley.
What? The plane leaves in an hour.
Kelvin could be dead by then.
Sloane's looking for more than the password.
Information Schiller would have.
I mean, this could be it.
If this goes badly, they'll know I'm a double.
So what the hell are we gonna do? That's why I came here.
I need to talk to Schiller right now.
[Door opens.]
[Vehicle approaches, Engine shuts off.]
I wouldn't have called unless I had no choice.
It's all right.
What is it? There's a CIA officer named Paul Kelvin.
Yes, I know about Berlin.
Paul's a friend.
Then you should know his life's in danger.
He's in custody.
Sloane wants intel Kelvin doesn't have.
I have the information Kelvin needs, but I can't get it to him.
Sloane's already too suspicious of me.
But since he trusts you Sloane put a call in to me.
That must be why.
Why would he call you? He finds me useful in difficult situations.
I'm surprised you're not home with Emily.
I would be but we have a problem.
Oh? Schiller won't talk.
I don't trust that man so I want proof.
Proof? That he's telling us everything.
That he is who he says he is.
I understand.
SYDNEY: Arvin Sloane is not affiliated with the United States government.
He is just a man who used me the same as he was gonna use you.
[Grunts.]
He made me think I was giving myself to God and country, but it was all a lie.
A lie that cost my fiancé his life.
If I go back to SD-6 without the location of that plant, they will take the life of another innocent man.
I need to prove you're Schiller and I'm SD-6.
Paul, I have to hurt you.
There's only one person who can stop that.
I'm talking to him right now.
Mr.
Schiller Please.
It's Badenweiler.
The plant is in Badenweiler.
The plant is located in Badenweiler near the black forest.
[Bone cracks, Kelvin screams.]
Badenweiler! It's in Badenweiler! SYDNEY: Sloane called us in this morning.
Our mission is to go to Badenweiler tonight, steal the vaccine inhalers, and blow up the plant.
I don't know how much longer I can do this.
Sit in these meetings with Sloane.
Look at him as if I don't despise him.
As if I don't want to leap across the table and use the skills I've learned at SD-6 against him.
So what the hell do I do next? What's my countermission? [Door opens, closes.]
- He practically apologized.
- Sloane did? For thinking maybe I'd mailed him the wrong guy.
Imagine that.
And your reward for a job well done is destroying the Badenweiler plant? Sloane says Hensel's producing supplies for a neo-Nazi terrorist faction.
That is such a load.
Sloane wants the vaccine tech.
Why? He thinks he has the formula already.
It took Hensel five years to go from formula to prototype.
Sloane wants to skip that step.
How's Kelvin? Home with his family.
Arm in a cast.
He'll be fine.
What about Schiller? On his way to the Midwest somewhere with 200 grand of Sloane's money in his pocket.
Of all of us, I'd say he's the luckiest.
That's for sure.
What's my counter? All right, you'll break into the building as planned.
While Dixon sets the explosives, you'll retrieve the inhaler and rendezvous with the CIA team, which will already be inside the building.
They will switch the inhaler.
By this time, Dixon should have exited the building.
You'll disable the explosive while the CIA team searches the rest of the lab's main computer system.
You're just gonna steal their files? This isn't sanctioned research.
Langley wants to know what else Hensel's up to.
So I get out with the switched inhalers, Dixon tries to blow the charge.
Nothing happens.
By that time, security's on their way, and we can't get back in.
That's the plan.
You all right? What do you know about case 332L? There's some missing pages in my father's personnel file and references to case 332L.
And Agent Calder.
You read that, too.
Yeah.
Actually, it sparked my curiosity, too.
I went to records to retrieve the case file, but it was missing.
There's no record of it anywhere.
There's one more thing.
Calder wasn't CIA.
He was FBI.
Why would the FBI be working with my father? They wouldn't.
Unless they suspected him of selling secrets.
Yeah, I know.
I'm going to the Hancock Park Homeowners' Association meeting.
No, after county records.
Yeah.
Wait.
I'm on my cell.
I can't [Haltingly.]
You're breaking up, so I can't hear [Cellular phone rings.]
Yeah.
Will Tippin.
Hey, Scourza.
What's up, man? Um No, I didn't get a fax.
Are you sure it was Kate Jones? Yeah.
Where was she headed? Sao Paulo? Her Social Security number? Yeah.
Give me her Social Security number.
What? Let's go.
[Beeping.]
[Alarm blaring.]
I'm going for the inhaler.
I'll see you outside in 1 0.
[Beeping.]
[Siren wailing.]
- Mr.
Tippin? - Yes? I'm Kate Jones.
[Alarm blaring.]
[Men speaking indistinctly.]
[Beeping.]
[Beeping rapidly.]
Forgive me if I ask you anything too intrusive.
It's just my job.
It's okay.
Can you start by telling me what your relationship was with Daniel Hecht? Miss Jones? Danny and I were having an affair.
[Alarm blaring.]
Sorry I'm late.
Not at all.
Let's see what you got.
These are 45s? I need three of them.
So you're Bristow? - Yeah.
- Vaughn's told me about you.
- He likes you.
- Yeah? Respects you.
I've got a bomb to disengage.
Yeah, please.
We'd appreciate it.
We'll be about 1 0 more minutes.
Good luck.
I had twisted my ankle and went to University Hospital.
Danny treated me, and he asked me out.
Danny asked you out? Yeah.
I knew that he had been seeing someone, but I wasn't really thinking so much about her.
[Beeping.]
Syd, come on.
We had talked about going to Hong Kong together, but at the last minute, he just broke it off.
That's all it was, really.
I guess it was one of those relationships that just kind of happen until they don't.
I see.
Is there anything else that you want to know? Yeah, actually, there is one more thing.
I have a contact who tracked your credit card from another one of your flights out of L.
A.
X.
From that, they got your Social Security number.
I did a trace on it.
Here's what doesn't make any sense.
Kate Jones you died in 1 973.
I have to go.
Who are you? Who the hell are you? [Alarm blaring.]
Got them.
Is everyone out of the building? We're good.
[Beeps.]
[Beeping rapidly.]
[Beeps.]
Come on.
We got to go.
Dixon, we don't have time to go back.
Dixon, what are you doing? I brought a secondary detonator in case there was a frequency jam like in Peru, remember? [Beeps.]
Did you get the inhalers? You good to go? [Beeping rapidly.]
All right.
Let's go.
Sydney? We've got to run.
Sydney, we've got to move now! Sydney!
I was trained as a spy, warned not to tell anyone what I did.
I thought I was working for the good guys, until I told my fiancé about SD-6 and they had him killed.
That's when I learned the truth.
That SD-6 is part of the very enemy I thought I was fighting.
Now I'm a double agent, working with the real CIA to bring down SD-6, where my only ally is another double agent, a man I hardly know.
My father.
You think the winner of the Edgar Peace Prize is working with Luc Jacqnoud? Dhiren Patel is India's delegate to the U.
N.
There is no way he's working with Jacqnoud.
Your objective is to monitor the meeting, I.
D.
The client, and make sure whatever it is that Jacqnoud is up to doesn't happen.
If Patel's going to be our deliveryman, I'll need the piece by tomorrow.
Salud.
Damn it.
The little guy's bodyguard.
I know him.
From Corsica two years ago.
The son of a bitch broke my arm.
You.
I know you.
SLOANE: The man that Jacqnoud is meeting with is Malik Suari.
He specializes in industrial demolition.
You think Jacqnoud is going to plant an explosive on Patel.
Yes, I do, and I want you two to stop it.
- I have a 20 on Patel.
- Let's get him out of here.
Something's wrong.
He looks sick.
He just went down.
DIXON: If they're bombing this place, it's going to be tomorrow.
Opening ceremonies.
Uh, careful with that.
That's TNT.
Yes, don't kill us, please.
[Gasps.]
Recognize me now? Anyone else? [Radio clicks.]
Keep looking.
[Thud, Sydney grunts.]
I never did find out what you were doing in Corsica.
[Grunts.]
Are you working for Dimitri? [Gasping.]
Tell me now, or you're going into the fire.
[Gasping.]
Who sent you here? Are you here alone? Who sent you here? Answer me! Little bitch.
Get to level "C" now.
She got away.
[Men shouting.]
[Gunshots.]
[Tapping.]
[Speaking Italian.]
Oh, my God.
What time is it? Um [Speaking Italian.]
[Cellular phone rings.]
SYDNEY: Dixon, it's me.
Thank God.
Where have you been? I didn't sleep.
That doesn't matter.
Listen to me.
Have you spotted Patel? - [Crowd chanting.]
- He just showed up.
News agencies are reporting he had an arrhythmia.
Where'd they take him? What I'm about to say, Dixon, you have to believe me.
Of course.
The bomb we're looking for? It's inside of him.
- What? - Inside Patel.
They implanted the bomb into his chest like it was a pacemaker.
A simple outpatient procedure.
Jacqnoud just turned an Edgar Peace Prize winner into a human bomb, which is not good.
Did you see the device? Yeah, it's small.
Which means it's probably on a wireless remote.
Get Patel.
I'll meet you directly behind the auditorium.
I'll get there as soon as I can.
[Speaking Italian.]
[Crowd shouting.]
[Whistles blowing, horns honking.]
Ladies and gentlemen it is my honor to officially open the 2001 Ministerial Conference of the United Commerce Organization.
[Speaking Italian.]
Hey! [Tires screech.]
Please welcome our keynote speaker.
Ladies and gentlemen, Dhiren Patel.
I just punched Dhiren Patel in the face.
- Any luck with the trigger? - I worship this man.
When you were in the building, did you I.
D.
The trigger?! No, I didn't see anyone.
Oh, God.
[Applause fading.]
Please wait one moment.
I will be right back.
[Beeping.]
[Speaking French.]
[Valve squeaking, gas hissing.]
I know you've been field-trained basic medical, but can you really do this? Pull a bomb out of a man's chest? Yeah.
[Vehicle approaches, tires screech.]
[Beeping continues.]
It's Jacqnoud.
[Engine revs, tires screech.]
[Speaking French.]
Don't forget.
This thing's on a remote.
We can't let them get within range.
[Tires screeching.]
Get me closer.
Get me closer! [Tires screeching.]
[Horn blares.]
I can feel it.
Oh, God.
[Tires screeching, horns blaring.]
The police have a roadblock.
- Get around it.
- Oh, God.
[Speaking French.]
Get me closer! You've got to hurry! They put an adhesive on the incision.
It must have bled through.
It's stuck! [Mumbles.]
What? Closer.
- Oh, God.
- Wait.
[Beeping rapidly.]
What's that?! It's on a delay.
Just keep driving! - Now.
- [High-pitched tone.]
[Tires screeching.]
Nicely done.
You're gonna be okay.
[Breathes deeply.]
- That's insane.
- No kidding.
- Dixon pulled it out of him? - Yeah.
- Pulled the bomb out of Patel? - The very one.
Any luck with The Alliance member? The what? You were supposed to I.
D.
The minister SD-6 has been trying to protect.
Thanks, I remember.
No, I didn't get it.
Sydney, if we're gonna take down SD-6 I was busy trying to keep one of the most important humanitarians on the planet from blowing up! Fine.
Anyway, I have a paper to finish.
Hey.
I have something for you.
I know you have a lot of questions about your father.
I don't know if you want this but I copied his file.
Thank you.
[Door closes.]
Sorry I'm late.
Hey.
It's after 1:00 already? Yeah, it's 1:30.
Oh, God, you gotta be kidding.
Okay, so I'm in my operations and technology management class, and I realize two things.
One, I prepared the wrong chapter.
- No! - I don't want to talk about it.
And two, you and I are gonna have a Halloween party.
- We are? - Guest list.
- Oh! - What, is it too big? I think you put down everyone we've met since seventh grade.
You invited Kenny.
So? He's a kid.
It's Halloween.
Francie, if you want to see Charlie again, you don't have to throw a massive Halloween party and invite his nephew.
- I love Kenny.
- I know you do.
But just admit.
You're hoping, just a little, that Charlie will bring him.
[Chuckles.]
What? Is that Will? Maybe he's here to talk to you about the humiliating kiss.
- Stop calling it that.
- That's what it was.
I gotta call you back.
I'll call you back.
Bye.
Hey.
What are you doing here? Oh, I got this, uh I'm writing a story on SATs.
About how the university is - What are you guys doing? - Getting lunch.
We're having a Halloween party on Wednesday night.
Excellent.
I don't have to wear a costume, do I? - No.
- Yeah.
Really? That's confusing.
[Pager beeping.]
Let me guess.
The bank.
It's a meeting with the higher-ups on these bad loans.
Okay, seriously.
Your job? It's a problem, right? - I should go.
- We know.
- I'll call you guys later, okay? - Okay.
See ya.
SLOANE: This is Hensel Corporation.
A Germany-based chemical conglomerate.
They make lbuprofen, hand lotion, toothpaste.
They also have a multi-million dollar research-and-development fund with ties going back to World War II and the Third Reich.
They don't list the last part in their annual stock report.
This is Jeroen Schiller.
He's one of Hensel's leading biotech engineers.
He lives in Berlin.
We've been in communication with him since August.
The news is that Hensel has perfected a vaccine against biological weapons.
Schiller has access to that information.
He wants to make a trade.
What does he want in exchange? Safe passage to the United States.
He lives in Berlin.
Why can't he just take a cab to the airport? Germany's not the problem.
Hensel is.
Anyone who has top-level clearance is closely surveilled.
Your job is to I.
D.
Schiller.
Get him away from Hensel and into the United States.
What kind of extraction? Shipment.
Hensel is upgrading their intranet with fiber optics.
You go in as a Rhine Com network supervisor.
Now, unfortunately, this is the last documented photo of Schiller.
University of Hamburg, 1 975.
We had tech do an age-processing to give you some idea of what he might look like today.
You'll find it in there.
Marshall, go.
Right.
Thank you.
How is everyone? Hello.
Hope everyone's planning on having an enjoyable All Hallow's Eve.
Marshall.
Sorry.
Okay, this is pretty incredible.
Business card.
Something you might hand out.
For instance, "Hello, I'm a Rhine Com network supervisor," in German, of course, because English would probably give you away.
But the genius, the achievement, is this.
Even Sony would be like, "Whoa, Marshall, [Chuckles.]
pretty cool.
" What does it do? You place the card on top of his computer monitor.
There's a tiny transmitter inside.
This transmitter will override the cpu and make the network think that you are the sys admin uh, the system administrator.
- Wow.
- Oh, yeah.
You'll manually override the company's firewall.
Then Schiller will transfer the vaccine formula from his office to a Canadian-served website.
Then we'll get the password once Schiller's on American soil.
So I got your voice mail.
Please don't feel obligated.
No.
I asked Diane.
We're coming.
All of us.
You don't have to wear a costume.
- You didn't need to say that.
- Good.
Sydney.
Could I have a minute? Oh, of course.
I'll see you at Op Tech.
I, um We were closing a deal last Thursday.
I just couldn't get away.
You said that when you called.
It's fine.
This is an especially busy time for me, Sydney.
There are six different cases I'm overseeing.
Mm-hmm.
So until things slow down, we probably shouldn't make any plans.
I wasn't gonna pursue it.
I just wanted to clarify.
Good.
Hey.
This is Paul Kelvin.
Sydney Bristow.
- I know your father.
- Really? I hear that a lot.
We got to move fast.
I'm gonna jump in here.
The CIA's been watching Hensel Corp for years.
They're not really creating a vaccine, are they? Yes, but the U.
S.
Army has been doing parallel research that we thought was years ahead of the Germans until we got your intel.
So what are we afraid of? Schiller and his team have developed micro-encapsulated cytosines.
They activate the immune cells in your respiratory tract.
Do you know anything about this? A little.
You? A little.
Enough to know that SD-6 could sell this vaccine to a radical leader who wants to protect his own people and start an all-out biological war.
What am I supposed to do in Berlin? Instead of shipping Schiller, who we'll get out through Bamberg, we'll ship Kelvin.
He's already prepped to impersonate Schiller.
Based on available photographs, we think he's a pretty good match.
You'll make the switch in the building's garage.
You sure you're up for this? I'm not looking forward to it.
What about when Sloane wants you to give him the vaccine? He'll give them false information.
Kelvin's got a plane waiting.
- I'll see you in Berlin.
- Okay.
I've got to tell Dixon.
No.
Absolutely not.
How do I make a double switch invisible to my partner? He'll be there.
You cannot tell him the truth.
He might already know who he's working for.
- You don't know him.
- That's my point.
But I do.
You might be right about Dixon, but you can't volunteer a man for double-agent duty if he hasn't asked for it.
His whole life, his family.
You'd be putting all of that at risk.
You.
Is that a decision that you want to make for him? [Speaking German.]
I'm in.
Copy that.
All's quiet out front.
Herr Schiller? [Speaking German.]
You are the agent? Dixon, I think someone might be following me.
Meet me at Einsetzung instead of behind the building.
Copy that.
- I'm starting the gas now.
- [Gas hissing.]
You'll have two minutes until people regain consciousness.
[Gas hissing.]
[Beeping.]
[Beeps.]
[Engine revs.]
Dixon, I'm on Koenig Strasse.
I'm on my way.
[Engine revs.]
You win the argument at the end of every night I never know the perfect When you asked me to help you set up, you didn't say, "Will you help me set up all day," did you? - We're almost done.
- Almost done? What's left to cover that we haven't already covered with corn? I work with a professional party planner.
What's going on with work? You always talk about work.
You haven't even mentioned it today.
You want the truth? I wasn't working on an SAT story when I bumped into you guys.
There is no SAT story.
I was trying to track down a woman named Kate Jones.
She was supposed to be seated next to Danny on a flight from Singapore to Hong Kong.
You can't do this.
What was Danny doing on a flight to Hong Kong if Sydney was supposed to meet him in Singapore? Kate Jones and Danny were the only two people to miss that flight.
The only two.
I was at the medical school because I thought that maybe they'd have her name on file.
There's too many things about Danny's death that don't make any sense.
One of them is this woman.
I looked up every Kate, Kathy, Katherine, Kathleen Jones in L.
A.
County.
Plus I have a contact at the airport who said You can't do this.
Nothing is gonna bring Danny back.
When Sydney finds out what you've been up to, which you know she will Just think about that.
I want to see Mr.
Sloane.
Mr.
Schiller, I've explained this.
Sloane is not here.
Tell us the password to the website I only talk to Sloane.
That was the agreement.
If you were who you say you are, you would know that.
Mr.
Schiller, I swear to you.
Sloane is a liar.
He has nothing to do with the CIA.
So you say Sloane is a fraud? How do I know it's not you who is the fraud? You don't.
But you will.
[Door opens.]
How fast can we get a plane to Langley? Why? He wants proof we're CIA.
I don't think he's gonna believe us unless we walk him through the front door.
Hey, Vaughn, we're in.
What's this? This is the main reason we made the switch in Berlin.
We had Kelvin give Sloane access to a bogus website with just enough real information about the vaccine to keep them occupied for months.
Is that really worth risking a man's life? No, there's more.
Once SD-6 downloads and runs the bogus program, it'll give us a back door into their computer systems.
In other words, we have access to their entire network? Files, contacts, accounts? This is a huge step in shutting down SD-6.
Nice.
It was Agent Vaughn's idea.
You look so surprised.
No, I jus Yes, it was my idea.
Amazing idea.
Thank you.
I know.
This is very exciting.
Go tell Analysis.
It's good to finally meet you.
[German accent.]
Yes.
The travel was not so easy, Forgive me for being so Oh, no, no.
Not at all.
So, we have $200,000 in cash waiting for you.
Thank you.
You're welcome.
It's yours.
As soon as you tell us, and we confirm, the location of the plant.
Plant? Which plant? Where the prototypes are being made.
The vaccine inhaler.
You do know the location of the plant.
You see, I did not get information about any prototype.
I was never privileged to such information.
I have reason to believe you were.
So why don't you think about it? Why don't you think about everything? [Door opens.]
How's Schiller? I want to talk to you about your report.
Is something wrong? You wrote that Sydney changed the pickup from Einsetzung to the rear exit.
I met them on Koenig Strasse.
Was this decided upon before the extraction? - During.
- Why? She thought someone was following her.
Did you see someone following her? No, but I was outside the whole time.
I see.
If Sydney said there was someone following her, there was someone following her.
[Freestylers' "Get Down Massive" playing.]
[Chuckles.]
Hey, Kenny.
[Doorbell rings.]
Trick or treat! There's more candy in there.
Come on in.
- Good to see you.
- Good to see you.
Syd, can I talk to you for a second? [Door closes.]
What's up? Syd, we've been working together a lot of years.
I trust you.
- I trust you and I love you.
- I know.
If something's up, you'd tell me? What are you talking about? Sloane is asking about Berlin.
He thinks someone might have gotten to Schiller.
He thinks he might be a plant.
He wanted to know why you had me change the pickup to Koenig Strasse.
I told you I thought I was being followed.
Syd is there something I should know? No.
Sloane says there's a prototype.
An inhaler for the vaccine.
He wants us to go get it, but Schiller won't give up the location, which makes no sense.
That man should know where it is and has everything to lose by not telling us.
What's gonna happen to him? I think Schiller's in trouble.
But, Syd I think you are, too.
I was just an ordinary guy hangin' round That's when I got approached by a hoochie woman Here's my question.
Who eats this crap? It's like marzipan, but it's worse.
If it's a question between this or dirt, I would be all over the dirt.
Would you shut up about the candy corn? Okay.
You're bummed the kid came and Charlie didn't.
- Shh.
- What? You gave me some advice.
I took it.
Now it's my turn to give you some.
- What advice did I give you? - About the Kate Jones thing.
I'm giving it up.
You're right.
It can only end badly.
So it's my turn to give you some.
You love Charlie.
You don't want to lose him.
So don't be an idiot, okay? You gotta talk to him.
Don't deny it.
Don't wait.
Don't piss me off.
That's exactly what I did when I first met Sydney.
Use me as a cautionary tale and call Charlie.
[Cellular phone rings.]
Yeah.
Will Tippin.
Hi.
This is Kate Jones.
You called me? Yeah, um Did you know a guy named Daniel Hecht? Yes, I did.
Very well.
- [Door opens.]
- You can't go to Langley.
What? The plane leaves in an hour.
Kelvin could be dead by then.
Sloane's looking for more than the password.
Information Schiller would have.
I mean, this could be it.
If this goes badly, they'll know I'm a double.
So what the hell are we gonna do? That's why I came here.
I need to talk to Schiller right now.
[Door opens.]
[Vehicle approaches, Engine shuts off.]
I wouldn't have called unless I had no choice.
It's all right.
What is it? There's a CIA officer named Paul Kelvin.
Yes, I know about Berlin.
Paul's a friend.
Then you should know his life's in danger.
He's in custody.
Sloane wants intel Kelvin doesn't have.
I have the information Kelvin needs, but I can't get it to him.
Sloane's already too suspicious of me.
But since he trusts you Sloane put a call in to me.
That must be why.
Why would he call you? He finds me useful in difficult situations.
I'm surprised you're not home with Emily.
I would be but we have a problem.
Oh? Schiller won't talk.
I don't trust that man so I want proof.
Proof? That he's telling us everything.
That he is who he says he is.
I understand.
SYDNEY: Arvin Sloane is not affiliated with the United States government.
He is just a man who used me the same as he was gonna use you.
[Grunts.]
He made me think I was giving myself to God and country, but it was all a lie.
A lie that cost my fiancé his life.
If I go back to SD-6 without the location of that plant, they will take the life of another innocent man.
I need to prove you're Schiller and I'm SD-6.
Paul, I have to hurt you.
There's only one person who can stop that.
I'm talking to him right now.
Mr.
Schiller Please.
It's Badenweiler.
The plant is in Badenweiler.
The plant is located in Badenweiler near the black forest.
[Bone cracks, Kelvin screams.]
Badenweiler! It's in Badenweiler! SYDNEY: Sloane called us in this morning.
Our mission is to go to Badenweiler tonight, steal the vaccine inhalers, and blow up the plant.
I don't know how much longer I can do this.
Sit in these meetings with Sloane.
Look at him as if I don't despise him.
As if I don't want to leap across the table and use the skills I've learned at SD-6 against him.
So what the hell do I do next? What's my countermission? [Door opens, closes.]
- He practically apologized.
- Sloane did? For thinking maybe I'd mailed him the wrong guy.
Imagine that.
And your reward for a job well done is destroying the Badenweiler plant? Sloane says Hensel's producing supplies for a neo-Nazi terrorist faction.
That is such a load.
Sloane wants the vaccine tech.
Why? He thinks he has the formula already.
It took Hensel five years to go from formula to prototype.
Sloane wants to skip that step.
How's Kelvin? Home with his family.
Arm in a cast.
He'll be fine.
What about Schiller? On his way to the Midwest somewhere with 200 grand of Sloane's money in his pocket.
Of all of us, I'd say he's the luckiest.
That's for sure.
What's my counter? All right, you'll break into the building as planned.
While Dixon sets the explosives, you'll retrieve the inhaler and rendezvous with the CIA team, which will already be inside the building.
They will switch the inhaler.
By this time, Dixon should have exited the building.
You'll disable the explosive while the CIA team searches the rest of the lab's main computer system.
You're just gonna steal their files? This isn't sanctioned research.
Langley wants to know what else Hensel's up to.
So I get out with the switched inhalers, Dixon tries to blow the charge.
Nothing happens.
By that time, security's on their way, and we can't get back in.
That's the plan.
You all right? What do you know about case 332L? There's some missing pages in my father's personnel file and references to case 332L.
And Agent Calder.
You read that, too.
Yeah.
Actually, it sparked my curiosity, too.
I went to records to retrieve the case file, but it was missing.
There's no record of it anywhere.
There's one more thing.
Calder wasn't CIA.
He was FBI.
Why would the FBI be working with my father? They wouldn't.
Unless they suspected him of selling secrets.
Yeah, I know.
I'm going to the Hancock Park Homeowners' Association meeting.
No, after county records.
Yeah.
Wait.
I'm on my cell.
I can't [Haltingly.]
You're breaking up, so I can't hear [Cellular phone rings.]
Yeah.
Will Tippin.
Hey, Scourza.
What's up, man? Um No, I didn't get a fax.
Are you sure it was Kate Jones? Yeah.
Where was she headed? Sao Paulo? Her Social Security number? Yeah.
Give me her Social Security number.
What? Let's go.
[Beeping.]
[Alarm blaring.]
I'm going for the inhaler.
I'll see you outside in 1 0.
[Beeping.]
[Siren wailing.]
- Mr.
Tippin? - Yes? I'm Kate Jones.
[Alarm blaring.]
[Men speaking indistinctly.]
[Beeping.]
[Beeping rapidly.]
Forgive me if I ask you anything too intrusive.
It's just my job.
It's okay.
Can you start by telling me what your relationship was with Daniel Hecht? Miss Jones? Danny and I were having an affair.
[Alarm blaring.]
Sorry I'm late.
Not at all.
Let's see what you got.
These are 45s? I need three of them.
So you're Bristow? - Yeah.
- Vaughn's told me about you.
- He likes you.
- Yeah? Respects you.
I've got a bomb to disengage.
Yeah, please.
We'd appreciate it.
We'll be about 1 0 more minutes.
Good luck.
I had twisted my ankle and went to University Hospital.
Danny treated me, and he asked me out.
Danny asked you out? Yeah.
I knew that he had been seeing someone, but I wasn't really thinking so much about her.
[Beeping.]
Syd, come on.
We had talked about going to Hong Kong together, but at the last minute, he just broke it off.
That's all it was, really.
I guess it was one of those relationships that just kind of happen until they don't.
I see.
Is there anything else that you want to know? Yeah, actually, there is one more thing.
I have a contact who tracked your credit card from another one of your flights out of L.
A.
X.
From that, they got your Social Security number.
I did a trace on it.
Here's what doesn't make any sense.
Kate Jones you died in 1 973.
I have to go.
Who are you? Who the hell are you? [Alarm blaring.]
Got them.
Is everyone out of the building? We're good.
[Beeps.]
[Beeping rapidly.]
[Beeps.]
Come on.
We got to go.
Dixon, we don't have time to go back.
Dixon, what are you doing? I brought a secondary detonator in case there was a frequency jam like in Peru, remember? [Beeps.]
Did you get the inhalers? You good to go? [Beeping rapidly.]
All right.
Let's go.
Sydney? We've got to run.
Sydney, we've got to move now! Sydney!
