Alias s02e09 Episode Script
Passage (2)
Prevlously on "Alias" Someone now has the ability to detonate Slx nuclear weapons, and I am responSlble.
So I am going to be part of the team that finds and disarms those warheads.
I need your help.
There are two things you need to know about this necklace.
It's Iayered with C-4.
If you remove it while it's armed, you'll break the circuit, and it'll detonate.
If at any moment I belleve you're attempting to escape or sabotage us, I'll activate this remote trigger and blow your head off myself.
Hold it.
Back up now! [ Men shouting in native Ianguage .]
Is there something you'd Iike to tell us? We'd Iike the warheads you've acquired.
[ Speaks native Ianguage .]
Yeah.
Thank you for the supplles.
[ Speaks native Ianguage .]
[ Beep .]
[ Beep .]
[ Gunshots .]
[ Monitor beeping .]
VAUGHN: Of course.
Absolutely.
-Mr.
Vaughn.
-Yes, Slr.
Mr.
Vaughn.
The necklace has been deactivated.
I'll have to call you back.
When? -Just now.
-You've confirmed this? Yes.
Satellite imagery detects combat.
Combat? [ High-pitched squeal .]
What just happened? It's over.
Can we tell if there's survivors? Not with this bird.
We need new satellites.
Even if they survive, sending in a team is out of the questlon.
Why? They're on an authorized misSlon.
A clandestine misSlon.
If we start scouring the countrySlde, the Indian government is gonna figure out that Pakistani-supported rebels have acquired nuclear weapons.
They're gonna Iaunch strikes.
The Pakistanis retaliate.
I'm gonna get called in front of committees demanding to know why we screwed up! The only thing we're interested in is how to make this problem disappear.
I want an optlons paper from you in two hours.
After that, I'd Iike to look for the Bristows.
Nuclear weapons.
I shouldn't have to define your prloritles.
I don't think we should cut them loose.
Allve or dead, the misSlon failed.
So if the Bristows are out there, they're on their own.
Hey, man.
Check this out.
Nothing Iike more bad news, huh? SYDNEY: Maybe they were a roving patrol.
JACK: No, PRF rebels would never be this deep into Indian territory without being dispatched.
IRINA: Your father's right.
We had one advantage.
Surprise.
Now that's gone.
SYDNEY: Just a second.
Can't stop.
More patrols could be in the area.
[ Groans .]
What happened? Nothing.
I just scraped my leg.
Dad, I can do it.
I got it.
You need to stop the bleeding.
Where are you going? These bushes.
They have Myrtus Communis berrles.
Their juice soothes the skin, helps healing.
You should put this on first.
-Serlously, I'm fine.
-You're not.
No, you're not fine.
Jack, I know you're determined to get to Srinagar, but my contact in Jaipur is much closer.
He's reliable.
He has good equipment.
This is a CIA misSlon.
I have operatlonal control.
You're a prisoner.
Your only functlon, sole reason you're breathing air, is to use your knowledge of the rebels' base to help us steal the suitcase nukes and leave.
That's why we're uSlng people I know and trust.
I'm not having this conversatlon again.
-You okay? -Yeah.
Thanks.
This is not a power play.
The facility we're headed for, security's tighter than the NSA.
If I don't have the right equipment, it's pointless.
We should move.
Okay.
[ Train whistle blows .]
I know what you're thinking.
Do you? The toaster.
What are you guys talking about? We used to have this toaster at home.
It was broken, and uSlng it one night, I started a small fire.
We had something Iike this to drink, and we both had a Iittle too much.
I forgot about the toast I was making.
[ Laughing .]
When was this? You were 4 years old.
There was so much smoke, we had to move out for a week.
We stayed in that hotel.
Summit.
Summit.
Wait.
Was that the hotel with the sundaes? -Mm-hmm.
-Yeah.
I think you had one every night.
You should get some sleep.
[ Train whistle blows .]
Jack? I would have called.
I need your help.
Yes, of course.
No one can see you dressed Iike this.
That's one of the reasons we're here.
It is good to see you again.
You too.
You look well.
Imagine how bad I looked before.
Are you who I think -Is she yours? -Yes.
He always brags about you.
He showed me a picture once We need to penetrate a class-A target outSlde Muzaffarabad.
We'll need aliases, papers, transpo, ammo, sat phone, and security penetratlon.
Yes.
-Would you Iike some tea? -No, thank you.
We also need tactical gear and night viSlon goggles.
Yesexcept no.
My main suppller dled two months ago.
Saresh was killed? Heart attack.
We are old men, Jack.
We don't Iive forever, especially in Kashmir.
Of course, I can provide aliases, baSlc weapons, access to satellite phone and transportatlon.
What kind of security? Blometric sensors.
Dual infrared pasSlve and microwave sensors.
-Fiber optics on the fence.
-Your timeframe? None.
We're behind schedule.
Well, I can do what I can do, but it might not be enough.
We'll take whatever you've got.
Thank you.
Yes.
First thing You need to be looking not Iike you.
Hello? Hi.
I'm on a secure Iine.
Sydney.
We saw the blast.
What happened? I'll fill you in Iater.
We were compromised.
I'm glad you're okay.
What about your parents? Some people go miniature golfing.
We go to India and look for nukes.
Listen, Sydney.
We intercepted a communicatlon.
The rebels say they're activating the nukes tomorrow.
-Activate how? -We don't know.
Deploy, detonate? Activate.
That's the word they used.
It might mean delivery, detonatlon.
We don't know, but we have to assume the worst Slnce they got the control codes through SD-6.
I got the control codes for SD-6.
I can deactivate the nukes.
If you get there in time.
Perfect.
Here.
My truck is on the other Slde of the market.
I owe you.
What kind of air filter does it have? -A foam filter.
-That won't work.
It'll clog up in the desert.
We'll return the truck as soon as we can.
It'll never get us there.
You think I'm second-guesSlng you.
This is my deciSlon.
It is not negotiable! Listen to me! We have a job to do.
Your issues are going to have to be dealt with Iater.
Please excuse us.
[ Mutters in native Ianguage .]
Right now we have Slx suitcase nukes that are going to be activated tomorrow.
Is that confirmed? CIA doesn't have details.
They want us to deactivate the nukes.
CIA needs to get authorizatlon for a strike now.
They need confirmatlon the nukes are there.
-It'll be too Iate.
-Not if we work together.
This is the way it's gonna be.
Dad will decide how we get to the base.
It's his call.
Once we arrive, Mom takes over.
You know your way around.
You'll lead us to the nukes and back out.
Then you'll resume control and get us home.
There will be no objectlons to and no deviatlons from this plan.
Three of these are filled with grain.
Irina, you'll be in the fourth.
You can't be serlous.
She's the most Iikely to be recognized.
The rebels are looking for a 3-person team.
We have a better chance of avoiding detectlon if we alter our configuratlon.
You sure she can breathe in there? Dad, we need to get moving.
I know.
I'm just preparing myself to let Irina out.
It'll be fine.
Sydney, I've been doing this job a long time, so when you lectured me about continuing the misSlon -Dad, my point was -I know what your point was.
The truth is I needed to hear it.
I'm proud of you.
That's all.
[ Breathing heavily .]
Thank you.
What are we doing here? This is not the drop.
The filter got clogged, didn't it? We're still 10 miles away from the base.
We need to hike to the fleld, where we'll access a sewage tunnel.
That'll lead us into the facility.
I thought you said security was heavy.
It is, on the other Slde of the facility.
At the entry point we're uSlng, the rebels rely on Iand mines to keep intruders away.
We don't have the equipment to detect Iand mines.
We don't have the equipment because your contact didn't come through.
I know where the mines are.
You'll walk through a minefleld you haven't seen in 19 years? -Is there another way? -And assume no new mines? I just spent five hours in a grain bin.
It's my turn now.
Let's get to it.
I spoke with Gerard Cuvee, leader of the PRF.
He's quite charming.
More Iike a banker than a rebel leader.
But you're a money man, too, aren't you? Is everything in place? The nuclear cores will be activated at 1 700 hours.
As soon as it's done, they'll upload the results to our server.
[ Telephone rings .]
Yeah? WOMAN: Slr, I have someone calling regarding your wife.
-They won't identify themselves.
-Record the call.
I need some privacy.
Yeah? DISTORTED VOICE: Romantic touch.
Your wife's ring finger.
By now, your Iab's confirmed that despite your best efforts, you didn't kill Emily.
And now I have her.
What do you want? $100 milllon in bearer bonds.
This is about money? Everything is about money.
Instructlons for the drop have been electronically mailed to you.
You've got 24 hours.
Fail to deliver the bonds, and the next delivery will go to The Alliance.
Where did the PRF get all these mines? You Americans have the worst inventory controls in the world.
So, Sydney, how's school? I'm writing my dissertatlon.
Supposedly.
Qulet.
[ Shouts in native Ianguage .]
Behind the tree! To your left, Jack! Jack, I need a gun.
Don't move.
You're on a mine.
Sydney, don't move! Five steps forward.
Three to your left and straight towards us.
Are you hurt? No.
The bullet hit my vest.
It's an M-26 anti-personnel mine.
We'll need to pry off the panel and remove the blasting cap.
You need to cut the core that leads to the blasting cap.
Her knife's not coated.
If she cuts with metal, she'll complete the circuit and set it off.
I can do it.
[ Buzz .]
It's okay.
Over that hill is the entrance to the tunnel.
We should hurry.
Follow closely.
Contact the Bristows.
Tell them to pull out.
I have no way of initiating.
Why? The Indians found out the rebels have acquired nukes.
They're Iaunching air strikes in 24 hours.
We have to get them to back off.
They're angry we knew and kept it from them.
They're inSlsting on going forward.
Then let me make a personal appeal.
Vaughn, everybody is working on this.
State, NSC, DOD.
You're probably gonna say no to this but I want to go to India.
I was statloned there for two years.
-I have relatlonships with -Go.
Go? I'll have a military aircraft waiting.
This is totally back-channel.
You're just gonna Are you trying to get rid of me? Clear.
We're here.
The nukes will either be in a sealed R&D Iab or a vault located in the sub-basement.
The Iab's security system is more sophisticated.
So check the vault first? Not if we only get one shot.
The Iab has thermal sensors to detect intruders through their body heat.
If we raise the room to body temperature, 98.
6 degrees, the sensors won't be able to distinguish between us and the thermostat level of the Iab.
Sydney, you'll get to the central heating control panel.
It's located in a room near the stairwell in the sub-basement.
-Find the panel for Zone 3.
-Got it.
Jack, the Iab door is controlled by a voice-recognitlon system.
Only Cuvee's voice is programmed to open it.
We need to break into the main computer system here to access his file.
You'll erase his voice and substitute your own.
I'll be in Cuvee's private office.
You and I are not separating.
Not in here.
Jack, Iisten to me.
Unless I deactivate the facility's surveillance system from Cuvee's office, we won't get anywhere near the nukes.
No.
You've done good work getting us here.
I'm not blind to that.
But I'm also far from trusting you.
If you want those nukes for yourself, this is a perfect setup.
You were an officer in this facility.
You've got frlends here willing to work with you.
Frlends? Know what this place was when I was here, Jack? A prison.
Where the KGB interrogated suspected traitors.
And, no, I wasn't an officer here.
I was a prisoner.
Why do you think I learned the sewage tunnels or memorized the mine locatlons? So I could escape, you idlot.
We're out of time.
We either split up and meet at the Iab in five minutes, or we're going back.
It's your choice.
Dad, she's right.
We don't have any more time.
I'll be in the Iab in five minutes.
I promise.
You better be.
[ Bones crack .]
[ Beeping .]
CUVEE'S VOICE: Mera naam Gerard Cuvee.
Mera naam Gerard Cuvee.
JACK'S VOICE: Mera naam Gerard Cuvee.
Thank you for agreeing to this emergency meeting.
Despite my best efforts to comply with your orders to kill my wife after she learned the truth about SD-6, someone interfered.
And this person is now extorting me for her return.
Last week, the blackmailers sent me Emily's finger.
Her ring finger.
Lab tests confirmed Emily was alive when they severed the finger.
Blood coagulatlon tests are not 100% accurate.
Yes, but they are reliable.
Then, two days ago, Security Sectlon obtained those.
Those are photographs of airport security in Santiago and London.
And we have confirmed that Emily was on flight manifests Iast week.
Any idea on the men with her? No, but the blackmailer wants $100 milllon in bearer bonds for her return.
Who else knew about your instructlons to kill Emily? Only the people in this room.
You belleve one of us may be behind this? No.
But someone has infiltrated our secure communicatlons.
Well, whoever it is will get nothing.
No.
It's not quite that Slmple.
We have to eliminate this leak before more damaging informatlon about The Alliance gets out.
So I propose that we put a tracking device on the bonds.
That we make this exchange.
That we follow the blackmailer.
And we assasSlnate him.
You understand, Arvin, after all this, if you get your wife back, she will still have to be eliminated.
I understand.
The thermal sensors are neutralized.
-Where's your mother? -I haven't seen her.
We got this far.
She must have gotten to Cuvee's office and disabled the system.
She'll be here.
Mera naam Gerard Cuvee.
[ Beep .]
We're not waiting.
Use the control codes to begin deactivatlon.
[ Beeping .]
The plutonium core is gone.
[ Guns cocking .]
[ Men shouting in native Ianguage .]
Uh, hi, Mr.
Sloane, it's me.
Marshall.
Butsorry.
You probably already know that.
We, uh, planned this.
Anyway, the tracer on the bonds is working perfectly.
SLOANE: Good.
I'm turning off my comm.
[ Cellular phone rings .]
Yeah? MAN: I see you.
Leave the brlefcase on the bench and keep walking.
Proceed toward the corner while we verify the authenticity of the bonds.
Oh, yeah, I got you, baby.
Right into my wheelhouse.
Come on.
Go to the row of vending machines.
Take the "City Vlew.
" Fifth from the top.
I told you, ain't nobody getting by Magic Marshall's inviSlble Iiquid tracer.
I say, come on! Unh! Come on! Unh! -[ Beep .]
-Wait a minute.
Wait.
No.
Where did Oh, God, no.
No! CUVEE: I think you understand the Sltuatlon you find yourself in Not to brag, but I'm kind of responSlble for matchmaking you and Irina.
Didn't she tell you? I was a supervisor at the KGB.
I gave her the asSlgnment to go to the U.
S.
and marry a CIA officer.
You weren't the only prospect, but you had the most potential.
I actually thought it would dawn on you that a woman Iike this would never go for someone Iike you.
Luckily for me your ego was too big for that.
You're a dead man! No, wait, wait.
I want what we came for.
Sark's made a deal with us.
What kind of double cross is he planning? Maybe you didn't hear me.
We know Sark has a new partner.
Who is it? [ Cell door opens .]
Get the informatlon -Uh-huh.
-And meet me in my office.
[ Imitates gunshot .]
I was caught.
I had to do this, or we'd all be killed.
They're not detonating the nukes.
Here's what you have to do.
Is everything on target? We ran into a few problems, but, uh What kind of problems? We've got it under control.
We'll proceed as planned.
I'll expect your report within the hour.
Trust me on this.
If you don't make it out, I'm sorry this happened.
[ Grunts .]
[ Speaks native Ianguage .]
Mr.
Vaughn, good to see you again.
But I'm afraid you came a long way for nothing.
We have people at the PRF base stealing the nukes.
If they fail, we'll be the Pakistanis' target.
-They won't fail.
-You can't guarantee that.
If you Iaunch those strikes, you will be killing some of our best assets.
Your government knew the rebels acquired the suitcase nukes.
They said nothing.
They place our country at risk.
At least delay a few hours until we get our people out.
I'm sorry.
The air strike goes as planned.
You look more Iike your father every time I see you.
My father wrote about you in his journal.
He wrote that he trusted you and respected you, and that is why I came such a long way.
I cannot call off the strike.
But I will give you a head start.
Meaning what? Meaning a chopper and a pilot.
But if you're going to try to rescue your frlends, you're doing so at your own risk.
Dad! -Shh! -How did you get free? Your mother is helping us.
What? What about Cuvee? She was torturing you.
She was putting on a show for Cuvee.
Before she left, she put these in my hand.
She told me they're uSlng the cores to activate a Rambaldi artifact.
They're not detonating the nukes? Rambaldi experimented with self-sustaining cell regeneratlon.
This artifact they're opening is reported to be Rambaldi's proof of endless Iife.
We have no time to make any meaningful assessment.
Your mother claims to have provided us the opportunity to contact the CIA for extractlon, and we should act on it.
Can't this thing go faster? This is it.
We're going against the wind.
[ Telephone rings .]
-Operatlons.
-This is Mountaineer.
Voice I.
D.
number AIpha Charlle 7-1-10.
I need to speak with Agent Vaughn.
Vaughn's not available.
Let me give you Kendall.
Agent Bristow, do you have the package? We're in process.
We'll need extractlon.
Abort.
The Indians have Iaunched air strikes.
Air strikes? We're not finished.
Get them to hold off.
Fighter planes are in the sky.
You have to leave now.
Not until we get my mother.
I am ordering you to pull out.
Head for the extractlon point.
This is Jack.
You'll either hear from us again, or you won't.
Our asSlgnment is to bring her back.
That's our job.
[ Steady beeping .]
[ Whirring .]
[ Whirring .]
[ Rapid beeping .]
[ Whirring intenSlfles .]
[ Electricity crackling .]
[ Whirring intenSlfles .]
[ Crackling .]
[ Whirring stops .]
[ Airplane engines roar .]
[ Men shouting .]
[ Gun cocks .]
A flower? That's what this is all about? We need to get the cores and get out of here.
It's Vaughn! We've got the cores.
Tell them to call off the air strikes.
This is Agent Vaughn.
Abort the air strikes.
Repeat.
Abort the air strikes.
[ Handcuffs rattle .]
[ Lock disengages .]
You must have a lot of questlons.
Yeah.
One thing that should not wait any longer is why I shot you in Taipei.
The rebel leader, Gerard Cuvee, when you were in Taipei he was in the next room watching to see if I would betray him or you.
Shooting you in the shoulder giving you time to escape.
It was the only way I could think to maintain his trust and keep him from killing both of us.
We're both tired.
You should get some rest.
You too Mom.
Hi.
Hey.
Any word on the flower? Preliminary analySls indicates that it's anywhere from 400 to 600 years old.
Like I said, preliminary.
Oh.
What's this? ¡Ó Is there nothing I can say ¡Ó ¡Ó Nothing I can do ¡Ó ¡Ó To change your mind? ¡Ó ¡Ó I'm so in love with you ¡Ó ¡Ó You're too deep in ¡Ó ¡Ó You can't get out ¡Ó ¡Ó You're just a poor girl in a rich man's house ¡Ó ¡Ó Ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh ¡Ó ¡Ó Ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh ¡Ó ¡Ó Yeah ¡Ó ¡Ó Baby, I'm cryin' over you ¡Ó ¡Ó Don't you know promises were never made to keep? ¡Ó
So I am going to be part of the team that finds and disarms those warheads.
I need your help.
There are two things you need to know about this necklace.
It's Iayered with C-4.
If you remove it while it's armed, you'll break the circuit, and it'll detonate.
If at any moment I belleve you're attempting to escape or sabotage us, I'll activate this remote trigger and blow your head off myself.

Back up now! [ Men shouting in native Ianguage .]

The necklace has been deactivated.
I'll have to call you back.
When? -Just now.

They need confirmatlon the nukes are there.
-It'll be too Iate.
-Not if we work together.
This is the way it's gonna be.
Dad will decide how we get to the base.
It's his call.
Once we arrive, Mom takes over.
You know your way around.
You'll lead us to the nukes and back out.
Then you'll resume control and get us home.
There will be no objectlons to and no deviatlons from this plan.
Three of these are filled with grain.
Irina, you'll be in the fourth.
You can't be serlous.
She's the most Iikely to be recognized.
The rebels are looking for a 3-person team.
We have a better chance of avoiding detectlon if we alter our configuratlon.
You sure she can breathe in there? Dad, we need to get moving.
I know.
I'm just preparing myself to let Irina out.
It'll be fine.
Sydney, I've been doing this job a long time, so when you lectured me about continuing the misSlon -Dad, my point was -I know what your point was.
The truth is I needed to hear it.
I'm proud of you.
That's all.
[ Breathing heavily .]
Thank you.
What are we doing here? This is not the drop.
The filter got clogged, didn't it? We're still 10 miles away from the base.
We need to hike to the fleld, where we'll access a sewage tunnel.
That'll lead us into the facility.
I thought you said security was heavy.
It is, on the other Slde of the facility.
At the entry point we're uSlng, the rebels rely on Iand mines to keep intruders away.
We don't have the equipment to detect Iand mines.
We don't have the equipment because your contact didn't come through.
I know where the mines are.
You'll walk through a minefleld you haven't seen in 19 years? -Is there another way? -And assume no new mines? I just spent five hours in a grain bin.
It's my turn now.
Let's get to it.
I spoke with Gerard Cuvee, leader of the PRF.
He's quite charming.
More Iike a banker than a rebel leader.
But you're a money man, too, aren't you? Is everything in place? The nuclear cores will be activated at 1 700 hours.
As soon as it's done, they'll upload the results to our server.
[ Telephone rings .]
Yeah? WOMAN: Slr, I have someone calling regarding your wife.
-They won't identify themselves.
-Record the call.
I need some privacy.
Yeah? DISTORTED VOICE: Romantic touch.
Your wife's ring finger.
By now, your Iab's confirmed that despite your best efforts, you didn't kill Emily.
And now I have her.
What do you want? $100 milllon in bearer bonds.
This is about money? Everything is about money.
Instructlons for the drop have been electronically mailed to you.
You've got 24 hours.
Fail to deliver the bonds, and the next delivery will go to The Alliance.
Where did the PRF get all these mines? You Americans have the worst inventory controls in the world.
So, Sydney, how's school? I'm writing my dissertatlon.
Supposedly.
Qulet.
[ Shouts in native Ianguage .]
Behind the tree! To your left, Jack! Jack, I need a gun.
Don't move.
You're on a mine.
Sydney, don't move! Five steps forward.
Three to your left and straight towards us.
Are you hurt? No.
The bullet hit my vest.
It's an M-26 anti-personnel mine.
We'll need to pry off the panel and remove the blasting cap.
You need to cut the core that leads to the blasting cap.
Her knife's not coated.
If she cuts with metal, she'll complete the circuit and set it off.
I can do it.
[ Buzz .]
It's okay.
Over that hill is the entrance to the tunnel.
We should hurry.
Follow closely.
Contact the Bristows.
Tell them to pull out.
I have no way of initiating.
Why? The Indians found out the rebels have acquired nukes.
They're Iaunching air strikes in 24 hours.
We have to get them to back off.
They're angry we knew and kept it from them.
They're inSlsting on going forward.
Then let me make a personal appeal.
Vaughn, everybody is working on this.
State, NSC, DOD.
You're probably gonna say no to this but I want to go to India.
I was statloned there for two years.
-I have relatlonships with -Go.
Go? I'll have a military aircraft waiting.
This is totally back-channel.
You're just gonna Are you trying to get rid of me? Clear.
We're here.
The nukes will either be in a sealed R&D Iab or a vault located in the sub-basement.
The Iab's security system is more sophisticated.
So check the vault first? Not if we only get one shot.
The Iab has thermal sensors to detect intruders through their body heat.
If we raise the room to body temperature, 98.
6 degrees, the sensors won't be able to distinguish between us and the thermostat level of the Iab.
Sydney, you'll get to the central heating control panel.
It's located in a room near the stairwell in the sub-basement.
-Find the panel for Zone 3.
-Got it.
Jack, the Iab door is controlled by a voice-recognitlon system.
Only Cuvee's voice is programmed to open it.
We need to break into the main computer system here to access his file.
You'll erase his voice and substitute your own.
I'll be in Cuvee's private office.
You and I are not separating.
Not in here.
Jack, Iisten to me.
Unless I deactivate the facility's surveillance system from Cuvee's office, we won't get anywhere near the nukes.
No.
You've done good work getting us here.
I'm not blind to that.
But I'm also far from trusting you.
If you want those nukes for yourself, this is a perfect setup.
You were an officer in this facility.
You've got frlends here willing to work with you.
Frlends? Know what this place was when I was here, Jack? A prison.
Where the KGB interrogated suspected traitors.
And, no, I wasn't an officer here.
I was a prisoner.
Why do you think I learned the sewage tunnels or memorized the mine locatlons? So I could escape, you idlot.
We're out of time.
We either split up and meet at the Iab in five minutes, or we're going back.
It's your choice.
Dad, she's right.
We don't have any more time.
I'll be in the Iab in five minutes.
I promise.
You better be.
[ Bones crack .]
[ Beeping .]
CUVEE'S VOICE: Mera naam Gerard Cuvee.
Mera naam Gerard Cuvee.
JACK'S VOICE: Mera naam Gerard Cuvee.
Thank you for agreeing to this emergency meeting.
Despite my best efforts to comply with your orders to kill my wife after she learned the truth about SD-6, someone interfered.
And this person is now extorting me for her return.
Last week, the blackmailers sent me Emily's finger.
Her ring finger.
Lab tests confirmed Emily was alive when they severed the finger.
Blood coagulatlon tests are not 100% accurate.
Yes, but they are reliable.
Then, two days ago, Security Sectlon obtained those.
Those are photographs of airport security in Santiago and London.
And we have confirmed that Emily was on flight manifests Iast week.
Any idea on the men with her? No, but the blackmailer wants $100 milllon in bearer bonds for her return.
Who else knew about your instructlons to kill Emily? Only the people in this room.
You belleve one of us may be behind this? No.
But someone has infiltrated our secure communicatlons.
Well, whoever it is will get nothing.
No.
It's not quite that Slmple.
We have to eliminate this leak before more damaging informatlon about The Alliance gets out.
So I propose that we put a tracking device on the bonds.
That we make this exchange.
That we follow the blackmailer.
And we assasSlnate him.
You understand, Arvin, after all this, if you get your wife back, she will still have to be eliminated.
I understand.
The thermal sensors are neutralized.
-Where's your mother? -I haven't seen her.
We got this far.
She must have gotten to Cuvee's office and disabled the system.
She'll be here.
Mera naam Gerard Cuvee.
[ Beep .]
We're not waiting.
Use the control codes to begin deactivatlon.
[ Beeping .]
The plutonium core is gone.
[ Guns cocking .]
[ Men shouting in native Ianguage .]
Uh, hi, Mr.
Sloane, it's me.
Marshall.
Butsorry.
You probably already know that.
We, uh, planned this.
Anyway, the tracer on the bonds is working perfectly.
SLOANE: Good.
I'm turning off my comm.
[ Cellular phone rings .]
Yeah? MAN: I see you.
Leave the brlefcase on the bench and keep walking.
Proceed toward the corner while we verify the authenticity of the bonds.
Oh, yeah, I got you, baby.
Right into my wheelhouse.
Come on.
Go to the row of vending machines.
Take the "City Vlew.
" Fifth from the top.
I told you, ain't nobody getting by Magic Marshall's inviSlble Iiquid tracer.
I say, come on! Unh! Come on! Unh! -[ Beep .]
-Wait a minute.
Wait.
No.
Where did Oh, God, no.
No! CUVEE: I think you understand the Sltuatlon you find yourself in Not to brag, but I'm kind of responSlble for matchmaking you and Irina.
Didn't she tell you? I was a supervisor at the KGB.
I gave her the asSlgnment to go to the U.
S.
and marry a CIA officer.
You weren't the only prospect, but you had the most potential.
I actually thought it would dawn on you that a woman Iike this would never go for someone Iike you.
Luckily for me your ego was too big for that.
You're a dead man! No, wait, wait.
I want what we came for.
Sark's made a deal with us.
What kind of double cross is he planning? Maybe you didn't hear me.
We know Sark has a new partner.
Who is it? [ Cell door opens .]
Get the informatlon -Uh-huh.
-And meet me in my office.
[ Imitates gunshot .]
I was caught.
I had to do this, or we'd all be killed.
They're not detonating the nukes.
Here's what you have to do.
Is everything on target? We ran into a few problems, but, uh What kind of problems? We've got it under control.
We'll proceed as planned.
I'll expect your report within the hour.
Trust me on this.
If you don't make it out, I'm sorry this happened.
[ Grunts .]
[ Speaks native Ianguage .]
Mr.
Vaughn, good to see you again.
But I'm afraid you came a long way for nothing.
We have people at the PRF base stealing the nukes.
If they fail, we'll be the Pakistanis' target.
-They won't fail.
-You can't guarantee that.
If you Iaunch those strikes, you will be killing some of our best assets.
Your government knew the rebels acquired the suitcase nukes.
They said nothing.
They place our country at risk.
At least delay a few hours until we get our people out.
I'm sorry.
The air strike goes as planned.
You look more Iike your father every time I see you.
My father wrote about you in his journal.
He wrote that he trusted you and respected you, and that is why I came such a long way.
I cannot call off the strike.
But I will give you a head start.
Meaning what? Meaning a chopper and a pilot.
But if you're going to try to rescue your frlends, you're doing so at your own risk.
Dad! -Shh! -How did you get free? Your mother is helping us.
What? What about Cuvee? She was torturing you.
She was putting on a show for Cuvee.
Before she left, she put these in my hand.
She told me they're uSlng the cores to activate a Rambaldi artifact.
They're not detonating the nukes? Rambaldi experimented with self-sustaining cell regeneratlon.
This artifact they're opening is reported to be Rambaldi's proof of endless Iife.
We have no time to make any meaningful assessment.
Your mother claims to have provided us the opportunity to contact the CIA for extractlon, and we should act on it.
Can't this thing go faster? This is it.
We're going against the wind.
[ Telephone rings .]
-Operatlons.
-This is Mountaineer.
Voice I.
D.
number AIpha Charlle 7-1-10.
I need to speak with Agent Vaughn.
Vaughn's not available.
Let me give you Kendall.
Agent Bristow, do you have the package? We're in process.
We'll need extractlon.
Abort.
The Indians have Iaunched air strikes.
Air strikes? We're not finished.
Get them to hold off.
Fighter planes are in the sky.
You have to leave now.
Not until we get my mother.
I am ordering you to pull out.
Head for the extractlon point.
This is Jack.
You'll either hear from us again, or you won't.
Our asSlgnment is to bring her back.
That's our job.
[ Steady beeping .]
[ Whirring .]

[ Rapid beeping .]

[ Men shouting .]
[ Gun cocks .]
A flower? That's what this is all about? We need to get the cores and get out of here.
It's Vaughn! We've got the cores.
Tell them to call off the air strikes.
This is Agent Vaughn.
Abort the air strikes.
Repeat.
Abort the air strikes.
[ Handcuffs rattle .]
[ Lock disengages .]
You must have a lot of questlons.
Yeah.
One thing that should not wait any longer is why I shot you in Taipei.
The rebel leader, Gerard Cuvee, when you were in Taipei he was in the next room watching to see if I would betray him or you.
Shooting you in the shoulder giving you time to escape.
It was the only way I could think to maintain his trust and keep him from killing both of us.
We're both tired.
You should get some rest.
You too Mom.
Hi.
Hey.
Any word on the flower? Preliminary analySls indicates that it's anywhere from 400 to 600 years old.
Like I said, preliminary.
Oh.
What's this? ¡Ó Is there nothing I can say ¡Ó ¡Ó Nothing I can do ¡Ó ¡Ó To change your mind? ¡Ó ¡Ó I'm so in love with you ¡Ó ¡Ó You're too deep in ¡Ó ¡Ó You can't get out ¡Ó ¡Ó You're just a poor girl in a rich man's house ¡Ó ¡Ó Ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh ¡Ó ¡Ó Ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh ¡Ó ¡Ó Yeah ¡Ó ¡Ó Baby, I'm cryin' over you ¡Ó ¡Ó Don't you know promises were never made to keep? ¡Ó
