Alias s04e20 Episode Script

I'm in.
Whose is the cab waiting outside? She wouldn't let me drive her to the airport.
Is everything OK? The Lisbon police called.
It's safe for Sophia to go home.
That's great! - I'm so glad you came.
- Thank you.
Look at the two of you.
Such beautiful and smart women.
Before I make a fool of myself - Promise you'll come back.
- Nadia, for you, anything.
Vaughn, could you sign this? - It's for Weiss.
His grandfather died.
- Can I do it in a bit? - I need to ask Jack something first.
- Sure.
No problem.
- Where are you going? - I thought I'd get Mr.
Bristow to sign this.
I need to see him alone.
It's personal.
Since when can you tell Mr.
Bristow something you can't tell me? I need to ask Jack.
If you were Sydney's father, I'd ask you - But you're not.
No, I'm not.
I still don't understand what me not being Sydney's father has to do with you Understand now? - Congratulations.
- Thanks.
I'm sure Mr.
Bristow's gonna be thrilled.
Really? I'm just hoping he doesn't shoot me on the spot.
As if weapon-grade anthrax grows on trees.
- What is it? - If this is a bad time, I can No, please.
After dealing with that Chechnyan lunatic whatever business you have will be a welcome relief.
Well, we've I know you're a man who I know you're a man who respects tradition, as do I, and Please get to the point, Agent Vaughn.
I'm gonna ask Sydney to marry me, and I'd like your blessing.
Perhaps you believe my recent illness rendered me less coherent than before or that my cognitive faculties have been somehow dulled or diminished.
Allow me to clarify the facts for you, Agent Vaughn.
While I've come to believe you're not as useless as I first imagined I still don't feel you have Everyone please remain where you are.
This is a warranted search.
May I see that? We've been authorized to confiscate all relevant materials.
It's been signed by Director Chase.
- Where's your sister? - What? I expect your full cooperation.
- If Nadia's in some kind of trouble - Where is she? In the shower.
Stand down, Agent Santos.
- What's this about? - Men are dead, things are gone and you've got some explaining to do.
- Is this yours? - Yes.
Does anyone else use it or have access to it? - No.
- Not even Sydney? I said no.
Sydney has her own laptop.
She also has An assault rifle, a 12-gauge shotgun, four handguns two Tasers, and a Secret drawer of knives.
- Let's start with the knives.
- Don't waste my time.
Director Chase says men are dead.
What men? What does she think Nadia did? We know you overruled the DSR security system tonight.
- What? - Alarms on a door were deactivated.
We traced the override command to your laptop.
And you just told me you're the only one who uses it.
Yes, but I didn't do it.
We also have evidence that tonight's incident isn't the only one that leads back to you and this laptop.
We have clearance.
- A microtransmitter.
- In the medallion.
When did she give you this? A few weeks ago.
Why would Sophia do something like that? It would help explain why several missions were compromised.
I personally investigated Sophia Vargas when she first arrived.
Prints, background - everything came back clean.
Well, somebody tapped into Agent Santos's laptop.
Because of it, five agents are dead and several Rambaldi artifacts are gone.
- I don't believe it.
I won't.
- Why would she do this? - Our clue lies in what was stolen.
- You're reaching for straws.
Am I? Who else would be capable of pulling this off? What are you talking about? Elena.
You think Sophia Vargas is connected to Elena Derevko? No.
I think Sophia Vargas is Elena Derevko.
Arvin and I have been searching for her for months.
I believe she found us first has been using us to achieve her own end.
You mean the journal of Vaughn's father, the Sloane clone.
McCullough, everything.
It's been Elena all along.
You're saying it's all a lie? That she spent all these years, all this time, so she could steal Rambaldi artifacts? She is a Derevko.
Her sister has possessed that same single-minded purpose.
If Jack is right, if Elena has gathered Rambaldi artifacts her final step would be to assemble them.
We can't let that happen.
She never made it to the airport.
The cab dropped her off a few blocks away.
Have Marshall check traffic cams.
I already did.
I've also notified the FAA to check flight manifests and I updated train and bus stations with her current ID.
Good.
We will find her.
I brought her into my house.
This is my fault.
No, Nadia, it's mine.
It was my obsession with Rambaldi that pulled you into this.
It's my mess.
It's my responsibility to clean it up.
I can imagine how hard this must be for you - The betrayal.
I'm just glad we found her.
That I know the truth.
So, if Elena has all the Rambaldi pieces there is only one place she can go.
- To see Lazlo Drake.
- Yes.
I'm on it.
Nadia.
We'll find her.
I promise you.
I will end this.
I don't understand.
Why are we in China when I told you Rambaldi's Sphere of Life is buried in Siena? Because I need answers to a few final questions.
Lazlo Drake is the only man in the world who can provide that.
Before he went into hiding, Drake was a professor of European history.
He built his reputation on the single most important discovery of his life - a manuscript.
In effect, a template describing how Rambaldi's creations should be assembled in order to bring forth his final prophecy.
Just know that we're gonna make the world a better place and we need Drake to do it.
- Professor Drake, my name is - Arvin Sloane.
Yes.
- You know who I am? - How could I possibly not know of you? Your appetite for all things Rambaldi is almost legendary.
This is my daughter, Nadia.
- I am honored to meet you.
- Thanks.
Lovely.
Please.
You have no idea what it is like to be in your presence.
It is like meeting the Virgin Mary.
- What do you mean? - Drake, you know why we're here.
You have collected the Sphere of Life.
No, not yet, but we know where it is.
If it is not in your possession, we have nothing to discuss.
You have the only known translation of Rambaldi's vade mecum instructions for how the pieces fit together.
That is information I will share with whomever has all the artifacts in his possession.
Your visit is premature.
I suggest you come back when you have retrieved all the items including the sphere.
You will come back too, won't you? I would like that.
Nadia, I wonder if you would let me speak to the professor alone.
I never thought I would see, let alone touch with my own hands, a living embodiment.
My daughter is not an artifact.
- So protective of her? - She is my daughter.
You brought her on this journey for one reason - only she can retrieve the Sphere of Life.
Only she knows its secret location.
You know that.
I didn't come this far to quit.
This is it.
Rambaldi wrote that a man would come and discover the true meaning of his work and in doing so would change the world.
I always wanted to be that man.
It's made of glass.
Think of it.
You and I are the first ones to set foot in here in almost 500 years.
Do you have any idea how many lesser people have dreamed of this moment? And only you can complete this.
What? Nadia, this is the part of the journey that I can't take.
You have to bring the box.
- I don't understand.
- Rambaldi had a role for you to play.
I need you to do this, Nadia.
I need you to bring me that sphere.
Nadia we can change the world.
Go.
Go.
Have faith, sweetheart.
Yes! Now, Nadia bring the box to me.
You lied! It was not about peace.
Nadia, I'm your father.
You will go back there and bring me the box.
You get back there.
I want that box.
You think you can control this power, but it's poisoning you.
Don't you see it? You don't have to do this.
Please, let's just walk away, you and I, together.
Coward! - Please, let's just go.
- I don't need you.
He chose me.
See? You're still here.
Try not to talk.
You've lost a lot of blood.
I didn't think that you would be here, after I You're my father.
I'm gonna get you out of here.
Thank you.
There's shattered glass in your chest.
When I move you, it might kill you.
I need to pull it out.
OK.
Who's Lazlo Drake? The self-appointed gatekeeper to Rambaldi's end game.
For Elena to complete her plan, she will have to contact him.
He has what amounts to the instruction booklet.
Maybe it's only me, but what do you mean by "Rambaldi's end game"? What is it? Is it a scenario? A weapon? In Elena's hands, most likely an apocalypse.
Which is why we need to get to Lazlo Drake before she does.
Drake's completely off the grid.
The manuscript has made him a target.
He never stays in one place long.
We saw him in China.
He could be anywhere.
If he's gone underground, he needs an income.
That's the path I've been pursuing.
Greyson Wells, billionaire financier.
Organized crime, money laundering.
And the man who financed most of Drake's early research into Rambaldi.
He might know where to find Drake.
Agreed.
Coordinate with Ops.
Draft up a plan to approach Wells.
I'll start preparations to talk to Drake myself as soon as we have his location.
I believe you're forbidden from participating in cases involving this subject matter.
- Agent Dixon has a point.
- Yes, I'm aware of the agreement.
- But I have a history with Drake.
- So does Nadia.
I'm sure Nadia would agree that her presence will only complicate matters.
- He's right.
- Drake will talk to me.
If we approach this tactically, his security force'll respond.
We can't have a firefight.
Our timetable is too critical.
Proceed as instructed.
Once you have a location on Drake, relay it to Director Sloane.
That's it, people.
Be safe.
Bonjour.
Bienvenue.
Puis-je prendre votre manteau de fourrure? Don't touch the fur.
All right, you may touch the fur.
Once.
Merci.
Please, let me know if there is anything in particular that you would like to see.
Ah! Very good.
Platinum? II y a un homme.
Fully paired with the flawless brilliance.
Can be worn as either a bracelet or an anklet.
Put.
What do you think? Ankle or wrist? Well, to be honest, I've always found anklets to be a bit vulgar.
Though, admittedly, you are making me rethink my position.
I think I'd have to see it on your wrist before I gave an informed opinion.
Do.
Something wrong? It appears we have a mutual interest.
So it seems.
Better as a bracelet.
Will you allow me to buy it for you? You trying to impress me? Well, that depends.
Is it working? Sweetheart, it's not your money I'm interested in.
- I'm going with you to see Drake.
- This is not your call.
It is now.
I have his location.
I'll go alone if I have to.
- He's not gonna talk to you.
- Then I suggest you get on a plane.
Solana airfield outside Mexico City, We'll go see Drake together.
Thank you.
Well, all the parts are pretty generic.
I mean, it'd be really difficult to track where it came from.
Sorry.
It's all right.
I just feel stupid I trusted her.
Hey, I don't blame you.
I mean, she was like family.
But don't put this on yourself.
Hell, I trusted Sloane for six years before I found out he was evil.
You know? Not that he's evil per se.
We have a long history together.
Look, we're gonna find this Sophia/Elena woman Person.
Your dad's totally on it.
This is a reckless course of action.
I won't let you meet the man who'll tell you how to assemble the Rambaldi contraption.
That's ridiculous.
I had everything I needed last year and I gave it up.
You know that.
- You didn't have everything.
- You're putting yourself in danger.
I know what I'm doing.
I just hope you do.
Because if this is about you and your twisted beliefs Nadia's been betrayed by the woman who raised her.
I'd never do anything to put her in any more pain.
I'm here to put an end to this nightmare once and for all.
I wish I could believe you.
Looks cozy.
Elena got here before us.
- It's Drake.
- He's dead, isn't he? If I didn't have to meet you, I'd have been here hours ago.
If it weren't for you, we wouldn't have to be here at all.
What are you doing? See if you can rewind the feed.
Here, let's start it over again - at the beginning.
I have to admit, I did not think it would be you.
You thought Arvin Sloane would have all the artifacts.
He nearly completed the work once before.
And failed.
He threw it away.
And for what? A girl.
Do you have a secure facility to assemble everything? I do - a factory outside of I'm sorry, Sydney.
I'm so sorry.
- Yes? - Sloane tranqued me.
- Before I got Elena's location.
- You all right? I saw this coming, and he still beat me.
- Sydney, are you sure you're OK? - Dad, I'm OK.
I'll notify Director Chase.
We'll find him.
Agent Dixon.
Why didn't you stop Sloane when you had the chance? I understand your reaction, but I You opened the door to temptation for Sloane.
End of discussion.
This man's taken lives.
I did what I thought was best.
I know.
In spite of all this it's good to see you.
- Weekends, on and off - Tell me about it.
Yes? - I had an idea, but you'll hate it.
- You want me to talk to your Aunt Katya.
- How did you know that? - First, you said I'd hate the idea.
Correct.
Second, I arrived at the same conclusion myself.
We're at an impasse.
Time is running out, and she's the only Derevko we have.
I'll call you afterwards.
Lock the door behind me.
Is that look on your face supposed to be intimidating? You forget, Jack, I've seen your tender side.
I need everything you know about Elena's operations, right now.
What makes you think I know anything? Call it an instinct.
- Do you intend to torture me? - If I have to.
Well, I know that would be enjoyable for both of us.
I should warn you, I have quite a bit of stamina.
But you already know that about me.
- What do you want, Katya? - Full pardon, immediate release.
- I don't have that authority.
- You'll find a way.
If the information you provide leads us to Elena I will do everything in my power to procure your freedom - You have my word.
If you're here, my sister must be pursuing aggressive action.
What has she done? She broke into the DSR, stole a cache of Rambaldi artifacts.
She's been acquiring artifacts for several years now through her front.
- Her front? - Don't look so surprised.
It has been happening right before your eyes.
- The Covenant.
- See? I knew you could do it, handsome.
Elena ran the Covenant? Impossible.
We dismantled its operations.
That's what she wanted you to believe.
You took down the straw man.
Elena's agenda's always been the same: Rambaldi.
- How do we stop her? - You're asking the wrong sister.
Irina spent the last few years of her life tracking Elena.
She was determined to stop our sister from enacting her end game.
And she would have done it too, but you had to go and put a bullet in her head.
I was set up.
Elena put a hit out on Sydney, framed Irina for it.
I see.
So you executed my sister on a misunderstanding.
Then all is forgiven.
Don't pretend you're a patsy.
You're too good at what you do.
If you pulled the trigger, part of you wanted to be manipulated.
I can help you find Elena but unfortunately I cannot tell you how to stop her.
Thanks to you, that hope died with Irina.
Sydney, listen carefully.
Elena Derevko is in Prague.
Her base is a decommissioned chemical facility south of the industrial zone.
- Katya just gave you that location? - No, Katya never just gives anything.
But she tied Elena to the Covenant, knew she worked out of Europe.
Marshall and Vaughn pinpointed her location using declassified KGB files and thermal satellite imaging.
- And you think we can trust her? - She's a Derevko.
Get on a plane, rendezvous with Dixon and Nadia at Ruzyne airport cargo terminal.
- They have your ops plan.
- I'm on my way.
- My men think you're here to kill me.
- You should hire smarter men.
You walk in, unarmed, and surrender yourself.
You're not the most convincing of assassins, so Let me guess.
You here to offer me a deal.
I know what you're trying to do.
I can help.
Thank God You're wise enough to see my value.
There's no one on this earth who knows more about Milo Rambaldi.
I'd heard you were reformed.
I suppose I've been born again.
Perimeter security has been disabled.
We're on the move.
Copy, Phoenix.
Director Chase has authorized shoot to kill.
- Copy that.
- We have the facility on thermal satellite.
There are about 40 people inside.
The blueprints we acquired were accurate.
There are three main areas to secure.
- Understood.
- Sydney, be careful.
Copy.
Let's move.
Come on.
Yes, of course.
I'm bringing her now.
Transferring prisoner.
- I was as surprised as you are.
- Drop your weapon.
No, Marcus, drop yours.
I said drop your weapon, Sloane.
OK, I got 'em.
Pinpointing a location.
They're at the loading dock, east side of the building.
- Put your weapon on the ground.
- I warned all of you not to do this.
- I mean it.
- Please, Marcus.
It's too big now.
You can't stop this.
Only I can.
- You have to trust me.
- Trust you? Get out of here now.
Outrigger, report! Outrigger! Report! Time to leave.
Dixon! Evergreen to base.
We need an emergency medical extraction.
We have a man down.
If anything changes, you call me.
- Did you have any idea she and Dixon? - No.
But then I tend to miss those kinds of details.
- You're the master of details.
- Really? I've gone over the details a thousand times in my mind.
Each one added up to the same conclusion: That your life was in danger and your mother was the lethal threat.
- We've gone over this.
You don't need - I've trusted in the veracity of details.
In doing so, I lost sight of the one thing I know to be true.
Your mother would never hurt you.
She was ready to shut Elena down, and I killed her.
- She was our only hope.
- That's not true.
We can stop them.
I know it.
You and I may disagree on a lot of things, but I never question your motives.
You always have my best interests at heart.
I know that.
How's Nadia feeling? I don't think she's feeling much of anything right now.
How could you let Sydney and Nadia follow? Everything is proceeding as planned.
You talk the talk but I'm still not convinced you've returned to the fold.
We'll see if you have what it takes to finish the journey.
- How's Dixon? - The same.
Sydney and Nadia are there.
You asked me a question earlier that I didn't get a chance to answer properly.
- I'd say the answer was loud and clear.
- We're more alike than I care to admit.
I realize now that in disapproving of you I was only hating my own limitations.
I wasn't asking myself what would be best for Sydney.
If you honestly believe that you can make my daughter happy then by all means you have my blessing to marry her.
OK, then.
You always knew my father would do this.
I hoped he wouldn't.
Despite everything, I really believed that he chose me.
- You must think I'm pretty foolish.
- Of course not.
He's your father.
Agent Bristow, Agent Santos? He's asking for you.
Dixon? We have been so worried about you.
Before I saw Sloane I saw a prisoner shackled.
Syd it's your mother.
She's alive.
