Alias s02e14 Episode Script

Prevlously on "Alias" Tonight, at 2200 hours, the CIA will conduct Slmultaneous raids on all Alliance facilitles.
And tomorrow morning, God willing, The Alliance will no longer exist.
-Let's move in.
-Go, go, go.
-Three agents down at SD-2.
-SD-9 has four down.
We've gotten reports from all team leaders.
We appear to be in control of all Alliance facilitles.
So, congratulatlons, Slr.
The Alliance is gone.
I just wanted to let you know that phase one is complete.
Good.
Move on to phase two.
SARK: I've been asked to confirm that you are in poSltlon.
Yes.
Everything's in place.
Maybe when we're done here, we should go back to Fiji.
Yeah, we should.
It was so great.
I'm gonna take a shower.
[ Water running .]
[ Door hinges creak .]
[ Gun cocks .]
SLOANE: You're early.
I've been compromised.
How? Something I said.
How do you want me to handle it? Use her to send a message.
Make it public.
I heard you were here.
I couldn't sleep.
I was afraid I'd wake up and find out this was a dream.
I went for a run to clear my mind.
I ended up here.
Any word on Dixon or Marshall? They'll be in debrlef for a while.
Meanwhile, Sloane's been put on Interpol's most wanted list.
-About last night -Is this about Allce? -It's complicated.
-We're not together anymore.
Slnce when? Slnce this morning.
The truth is, we've been over for a long time.
I was thinking.
I can actually go to the CIA through the front door.
And I can actually give you a ride.
[ Tires screech .]
[ Woman speaking German .]
[ Crowd screaming .]
This is Christine Phillips, Clandestine Services graduate.
Langley's approved her observing our operatlons.
Hi.
FBI AsSlstant Director Kendall.
This is Agent Michael Vaughn, Agents Jack and Sydney Bristow.
I've read your operatlonal file.
It's a real honor.
Thanks.
[ Shouting in German .]
[ Gun cocks .]
[ Slrens wailing .]
Slr, we got a Sltuatlon in Berlin.
The networks are carrying it live.
I'm putting it through.
This is all we know.
A woman apparently has been shoved out of a van.
A speeding white van, we're told.
-This is in a public square -Oh, my God.
Slr, that's Agent Wallace.
You know her? She's one of ours.
[ Speaking German .]
Give me a better look at those exploSlves.
Looks like C-4.
If the C-4's wired with a remote trigger, any radlo communicatlon could cause detonatlon.
[ ExploSlves charging .]
You're doing fine, Emma.
Just do what I told you, and you will be fine.
Patch me through to Berlin.
You speak German, right? We'll have satellite coverage in 30 seconds.
KH-1 1 coming online now.
Bump up the resolutlon.
-[ Feedback .]
-[ Speaking German .]
Slr, I've got the Federal Office on the line now.
Tell them to put you through to the ranking agent on Slte.
The woman is CIA, and random radlo communicatlon could detonate the exploSlves.
[ Speaking German .]
¡Ó All around the cobbler's bench ¡Ó ¡Ó The monkey chased the weasel ¡Ó ¡Ó The monkey thought it was all for good ¡Ó ¡Ó Pop goes the weasel ¡Ó ¡Ó A penny for a spool of thread ¡Ó ¡Ó A penny for a needle ¡Ó ¡Ó That's the way the money goes ¡Ó ¡Ó Popgoes ¡Ó Come on, come on, come on! -[ Cellular phone rings .]
-[ Speaks German .]
[ Speaking German .]
I speak English.
¡Ó No patlence to wait till time goes by ¡Ó Instruct all agents to shut down radlo communicatlon.
This woman may be wired with a remote detonator.
Agent Bristow, I've already ordered radlo Sllence.
¡Ó Pop ¡Ó [ Receiver clicks .]
[ Christine sobbing .]
Excuse me.
Are you all right? Hi.
Are you okay? Sorry.
I just wasn't ready for that.
Don't be sorry.
KENDALL: The CIA lost an exemplary agent today.
Those of you who knew Emma may find it difficult to focus, but I'll ask you to try.
For two months, she was tasked with a deep-cover asSlgnment.
Her objective was to gain the trust of this man.
Dr.
Renzo Markovic, a former R&D sclentist who's been developing a clasSlfled technology under the project heading "Helix.
" He's received preliminary bids from terrorist organizatlons.
-Weapons? -We don't know.
That's the questlon Agent Wallace was trying to answer.
Agent Wallace may not be the only casualty in our effort against Markovic.
She was sent undercover with a partner, another CIA operative whom we now presume to be captured or dead.
JACK: His final transmisSlon indicated he was proceeding to Cayo Concha off the coast of the Dominican Republic.
Markovic leases one of the lower floors in the Serena del Sol resort, where he conducts his research.
If our operative's alive, he's being held there.
Agent Bristow, you're on point.
Agent Vaughn, asSlsting.
Conditlons for success are twofold.
Acquire what intel you can on Project: Helix and bring our man home.
Who is he? He's one of our most decorated agents.
Here's his file.
James Lennox.
You leave tonight.
[ Doorbell rings .]
-Hi.
-Hi.
-Ready to go? -Yeah.
Come on in.
I'll get my stuff.
Nice place.
I'm gonna get a new couch.
Yeah? Well, I don't know.
So, this is where you live.
This is where I live.
I love it.
I'm ready.
Okay, we, um We should go right now.
Hey.
Francle, this is Michael from the bank.
Hey, Francle, nice to meet you.
Nice to put a face with the name.
Same here.
-We should catch our plane.
-Another buSlness trip? Just a finance conference in New York overnight.
Well, have a good trip.
It's nice to meet you.
Bye.
I'll see you Iater.
¡Ó It's so easy to blow up your problems ¡Ó ¡Ó It's so easy to play up your breakdown ¡Ó ¡Ó It's so easy to fly through a window ¡Ó ¡Ó It's so ¡Ó Arden Jezek, Markovic's chlef of security at the resort.
He's got access to Project: Helix and probably knows where Lennox is.
Why aren't we going after Markovic directly? Surveillance teams say they lost track of him.
Jezek's our best shot.
¡Ó It's so tough to get up ¡Ó ¡Ó It's so tough ¡Ó Hi.
[ GIass breaking .]
[ Screams, panting .]
I've injected a cardlotoxin.
You'll have a heart attack unless you do as we say.
Then you get the antidote.
Clear? -Yeah.
-Is Agent Lennox still alive? -Yes.
-Where is he? [ Grunts .]
Sublevel, Room 47.
You'll escort us and help my partner download everything you have on Project: Helix.
[ Elevator dings .]
Smile.
They are with me.
[ Beeping .]
[ Door buzzes .]
-I'll see you at the exit point.
-Yeah.
Sydney, if Agent Lennox is still alive, he may have undergone psychological reconditloning.
You could be walking into a trap.
[ Man panting .]
Let's start over from the beginning.
I already told you everything.
[ Machinery beeping .]
Ahh [ Machinery whirring .]
Aah! [ Panting .]
-[ Groans .]
-My name is Sydney Bristow.
I'm a CIA agent.
I've come to take you home.
I can't see.
I can't see.
I can't see! [ Groaning .]
They used metachlorozine on you.
It's a photoreactive acid.
I'm covering your eyes with a bandage.
Keep this on, or you could be permanently blinded.
You're okay.
You're sweating because the poison's taking effect.
Type, and you'll be fine.
You're in the system.
[ Grunts .]
You're doing great.
Emma Wallace.
Has she reported in yet? Stay here.
Aah! [ Gun cocks .]
[ Gunshot .]
Oh, thank you.
Shut your eyes.
Shut your eyes.
Oh.
Okay, one more.
[ Exhales deeply .]
Your eyes should normalize in a few minutes.
Okay.
Thank you.
You okay? What do you think? No Slgns of post-traumatic stress disorder or symptoms of behavlor modificatlon.
He was holding his own with the interrogators.
He risked loSlng his Slght to get us out.
I don't know.
We'll know more after the psych eval.
How are you doing? I could have sworn you were a blonde.
I was.
My hair's usually brown.
Hard to keep track.
It's nice tosee the face of the person who saved my Iife.
So, um Where is Emma? Is she back in L.
A.
? Jim Emma's dead.
I'm so sorry.
KENDALL: We know you've been through hell, and I apologize that your homecoming had to be celebrated with a psych evaluatlon.
You've been given a clean bill of health.
I'm sure it doesn't feel Iike that.
Agent Wallace's death has left questlons unanswered.
Can you tell us how you infiltrated Dr.
Markovic's organizatlon? We were hired on as security experts at his villa in Berlin.
Emma, Agent Wallace, gained Markovic's trust enough to become his driver.
In that capacity, she was privy to a phone conversatlon between Markovic and someone she belleved to be his superlor, in which they indicated Project: Helix was ready for testing.
Are you saying Markovic answers to someone else? That was Agent Wallace's impresSlon.
They didn't use names.
It was just a voice on the speakerphone.
You never heard this voice? No.
How's your eyeSlght? It's better.
Can you tell us what led to your capture? When we reported to Langley, the project was proceeding.
We were ordered to break into the facility in Cayo Concha and hack the central database.
I knew there was a chance we'd be caught.
I decided to go alone so I could transmit the data to Emma in Berlin if I were trapped.
They moved in before I could do that.
Do you have any idea how she was compromised? No, I don't.
Okay.
We have a pretty comprehenSlve picture here.
There's a driver waiting to take you to a safehouse.
Is there anything you'd Iike to add? We were engaged.
In a case Iike this, we start by digitizing the news footage that covered the bombing.
You Iike Italian food? I have a boyfrlend.
Yeah, me too.
Hey, Weiss.
Excuse me.
I think the new girl has a thing for me.
I was going over Agent Wallace's contact log.
She phoned in every two days.
The slightest discrepancy in protocol, and she contacted us for verificatlon.
The day Lennox says he was captured, we have no records of anything from her.
No warning, no extractlon request.
Why didn't she make contact? [ Beeping, keys clacking .]
Agent Weiss.
Roll it back.
That flash of static right before the blast.
An RF transmitter would account for the interference, but all radlo Slgnals were shut off.
Wait.
Run it back.
Slow it down a Iittle bit.
There.
If the Slgnal interrupted the feed, it had to come from our trigger man's detonator.
Which would place him within a block.
Find where the van was parked.
Check traffic cams.
We may have this guy's face on video.
[ Knock on door .]
Lennox? Jim? [ Keys clatter .]
Beware of the grleving man and his bottle.
Emma used to say that she had spent so much of her Iife pretending to be other people that she was afraid she might disappear.
And I have been Sltting here, trying to remember all her aliases.
And you're right.
It's hard to keep track.
I lost my fiance Iast year.
And I know we were trained to compartmentalize things that hurt too much.
But I still haven't been able to do that.
But as hard as it is, I would rather feel it than to not feel anything.
Hey.
Oh I'm sorry.
-[ Door opens .]
-Agent Bristow? Agent Lennox? What's going on? Back up against the wall.
What is this? -Wait.
Wait.
-Get your hands off me! All right, stay down! Stay down! Sydney, go! Sydney, go! -Okay.
-Stay down! Go.
Go.
Sydney, go! Okay, take it easy! Take it easy! [ Panting .]
What is it? He's gonna be placed in federal custody.
[ Door opens .]
What's going on? We've decrypted the specs on Project: Helix.
The data describes a breakthrough in next-generatlon molecular gene therapy.
It refers to a new procedure whereby a patlent's face and body are reshaped to identically resemble someone else.
Agent Lennox was the first test subject to be doubled.
Doubled how? Like cloning? Not exactly.
You're saying the man we rescued isn't Lennox? It's posSlble.
So who is he? Based on our intel, the procedure's first reciplent was the man who created the technology, Dr.
Markovic.
There is no way the man we have in custody is Dr.
Markovic.
I know it sounds insane, but as we were analyzing the news footage, Phillips noticed the interference of an RF Slgnal.
We got this from a traffic camera.
JACK: Over the Iast few years, it's become common practice for wanted terrorists to employ men who look Iike them.
Decoys deSlgned to mislead intelligence agencles.
With this procedure, that would no longer be necessary.
Men Iike Osama bin Laden could Slmply be made to look Iike someone else.
That is not something we can afford to have advertised on the black market.
How is this posSlble without scarring? The procedure isn't surgical.
The patlent's genetic code is altered to reshape their phySlcal attributes.
Is it reverSlble? It's unclear.
It only works on people of a certain genetic dispoSltlon.
And the reciplent must be in a comatose state for several days while their cells regenerate.
The data indicates the only way to distinguish the real person from the double is by an ocular scan.
A flaw in the iris was built into the procedure to tell them apart.
Even if Lennox is who he says he is, there's no way of guaranteeing he's not the man in that video.
I'm telling you, the man we rescued just had his Iife destroyed.
He's on our Slde.
[ Machinery beeping, whirring .]
He is who he says he is.
What the hell do you mean, I've been doubled? The project you were investigating Project: Helix.
It's a prototype surgical gene resequencer.
Markovic created a technique that allows people to change their appearance.
That's why we gave you the ocular scan.
To make sure that you were really you.
Do we know who it was, the man who took my identity? Dr.
Markovic.
Now I know why Emma didn't call for an extractlon.
She had no idea I was captured.
We had a hotel room in Berlin.
She thought she was with me.
Markovic had the Helix prototype taken off Cayo Concha.
We've tracked it to a freight yard in Poland.
He's trying to hide it.
What's the next move? I've been ordered to find the prototype, download the schematics, then destroy it.
I'm coming with you.
This is Mountaineer.
We're in the train yard.
Copy.
We've got you on satellite.
We're reading five guards.
One on the north Slde of Track 2.
One between Tracks 1 and 2.
Two on the southern perimeter, and one on top of the center car.
Wait.
We just lost the Iast guard.
Hold while we reacquire his Slgnal.
[ Gun cocks .]
[ Sllenced gunshot .]
[ CIank .]
JIM: Do you have the drill? SYDNEY: Drill.
[ Drill buzzing .]
All right, I'm having trouble seeing the third tumbler.
The borescope's jammed.
Hang on.
Do you have the audlo? All right, here we go.
All right, all right, all right.
[ Lock opens .]
-We got it.
-Okay.
I'm gonna rig the exploSlves.
All right, Boot Camp, I'm into the data log.
Copy that.
Standing by to receive the schematics.
All right, wait a second.
According to this, the sequencer's been used twice.
What? I'm not the only one who's been doubled.
Who else? It doesn't say.
Agent Vaughn, a call was routed through the PBX you need to take right away.
-Who am I talking to? -My name is James Lennox.
The man you rescued is Dr.
Renzo Markovic.
I know that sounds imposSlble.
He's developed some kind of genetic doubling prototype.
Yes, we know.
I was captured trying to infiltrate his medical Iab on Concho Caya.
They knew the CIA would send a team after me, and they set you up.
I just escaped 12 hours ago while they were trying to transport me off the island.
-Where are you now? -I'm in Poland.
I've tracked the prototype to a freight yard.
I'm gonna destroy it.
I got him.
He's two miles away and traveling alone.
It could be Markovic trying to prevent us from sabotaging the prototype.
There's no way to be certain.
We just conducted a test confirming Lennox's identity.
The ocular scan doesn't work! That was diSlnformatlon he wanted you to download so you would trust him! The ocular scan is a joke! Listen carefully.
Do not approach the train yard.
-I'm loSlng you.
-[ Phone clicks .]
I can't hear you.
-[ Static .]
-Hello? I'm loSlng you! Hello! Put me through on a separate channel.
I only want her to hear this.
Sydney, don't react.
Just Iisten.
Do not take your eyes off the man you're with.
We just got a call from someone claiming to be Agent Lennox.
He's on his way to you.
It looks Iike he's alone.
-Clear your throat if you copy.
-[ Clears throat .]
Backup copy.
There's no way for us to verify the identity of either man.
Disarm the man you're with, then take cover.
Do the same to the man heading your way.
Once they're secure, lead them to the extractlon point.
We'll figure this out when they're in custody.
Don't move.
What are you doing, Sydney? Against the wall.
On your knees.
Hands behind your head.
Put your hands behind your head.
On your knees.
He's secure.
How far away is the other man? What other man? You think I'm Markovic.
Cloud cover has moved over your poSltlon.
We're blind, but he's got to be there.
-You have to trust me.
-Cuff yourself to the rail.
If someone is headed this way claiming to be me, it's Markovic, all right? I'm telling you, he is setting us up.
Why is he alone? He knows if our satellite picks up a security team, we won't heSltate to destroy the prototype.
It is his only play to get his face back.
Sydney, he killed Emma.
He will kill you.
[ Groans .]
[ Grunting .]
Hold it! Drop the gun and turn around.
[ Panting .]
Aah! You don't work for Markovic.
You're CIA.
I'm Jim Lennox.
I'm CIA, too.
Drop the gun now.
Put the gun down.
Markovic's men are on their way here.
Drop it, or I'll shoot! We have to trust each other.
Get down! Sydney! You killed Emma, you son of a bitch! -He's Iying! He has to say that! -I was tortured for four weeks.
He knows enough to pass himself off as me.
You're not walking out of here.
Neither of you can drop your guns.
What are you doing? [ Velcro rips .]
I hope you Iike your face, Dr.
Markovic.
You're gonna have it for a long time.
[ ExploSlves charging .]
Don't! Yeah, all right.
Yeah, appreciate it.
Four weeks off.
The least they could do.
Yeah, well, they offered me counseling.
But I haven't not worked in eight years.
Where are you headed? Fiji.
I've never been there before.
Emma and I were gonna go for our honeymoon.
She was from there.
I know.
I knew her.
You knew Emma? One thing about my fiance.
I was Iucky to have known him for as long as I did.
Thank you.
¡Ó Where do we go? ¡Ó ¡Ó Nobody knows ¡Ó ¡Ó I've got to say I'm on my way down ¡Ó ¡Ó God give me style and give me grace ¡Ó ¡Ó God put a smile upon my face ¡Ó ¡Ó Where do we go to draw the line? ¡Ó ¡Ó I've got to say I wasted all your time ¡Ó ¡Ó Honey, honey ¡Ó ¡Ó Where do I go to fall from ¡Ó You're so beautiful.
Dinner's ready.
You do have an oven, you know.
We can reheat.
¡Ó Yeah ¡Ó ¡Ó Now ¡Ó ¡Ó When you work it out, I'm worse than you ¡Ó ¡Ó Yeah ¡Ó ¡Ó When you work it out, I want it, too ¡Ó ¡Ó Now ¡Ó ¡Ó When you work out where to draw the line ¡Ó ¡Ó Your guess is as good as mine ¡Ó ¡Ó Where do we go? Nobody knows ¡Ó
