Alias s05e06 Episode Script
Solo
Previously on "Alias": - Hello, Arvin.
- Hello, Gordon.
So you're my mysterious benefactor.
- Your clearance hasn't been reinstated.
- My chances of returning to APO are slim.
I need you at APO.
I had to dig through my friends yesterday because of Gordon Dean.
If I can help you stop him, then that's what I need to do.
Dad, Fiona wants to know if I can come over and study for a while.
Maybe tomorrow night, OK, kiddo? - I left another message.
- Look, you know she's always traveling.
Where is she now? Europe? Yeah, but she usually calls.
Oh, come That's OK.
I got it.
It's probably just a circuit breaker or some Hey! How much do they know? Not much.
That this is a government facility, that they're here for their own protection.
- I've ruined their lives.
- That's not true.
They can't go home or back to work.
They can't even say goodbye to their friends.
Because it's not safe.
You know that.
There were taps on their phones.
There was surveillance equipment.
Witness protection is the best way to ensure their safety.
They say I won't even be able to call them.
How am I supposed to do this alone? You do it because you don't have a choice.
Because you want the world to be safe for the people you love.
Some people think I'm crazy, still working like this, but I can't go home and just be pregnant.
Not when the men who killed Vaughn are still out there.
It's my responsibility to stop them so this baby can be safe.
So you can be with your family.
We're kind of a weird family.
We actually like each other.
Then go in there and let them see you're OK.
That's all they care about.
OK.
Oh, my God! Rachel! I wanted to call.
I just I couldn't.
We were worried something had happened to you.
Something did happen, and that's why you're here.
Oh, where do I begin? OK Rachel Gibson's family has been moved to a witness protection program.
We knew that might happen.
I won't hurt Rachel or anyone else from APO.
That was not our agreement.
Our agreement is whatever I say it is.
I'm the one who got you out of prison, and I can easily put you back.
Let me say this again.
I will not hurt those people.
I'm not telling you to.
Not yet, at least.
We both know you'll do whatever it takes to save your daughter.
If that means you have to hurt a few people along the way, well, so be it.
- Are we finished? - Almost.
Have you heard of a weapons designer named Janos Vak? No.
We've been after him for some time.
He's disappeared.
I want you to use your resources at APO and find him.
What would your colleagues do if they knew you answered to me? That you were betraying them on a daily basis? Same thing I hope to do to you someday.
Call me when you find Vak.
Now that Arvin's returned as assistant director, I've asked him to read Rachel Gibson's debriefing.
I believe his unique insights into a covert organization like the Shed will be extremely useful to us.
Thank you, Jack.
This is an extremely well-insulated organization.
Of all the names mentioned in the debrief, I recognized only one immediately - a weapons designer named Janos Vak.
Mr.
Vak is a Hungarian national.
He specializes in designing targeting software.
His present obsession - he calls it "lasso technology.
" DOD's been worried about this.
It's a software program that would allow a missile to be electronically intercepted and redirected.
You could lasso a missile headed for a military target, say, in the Middle East, and then redirect it to Switzerland, you know? Then the Swiss call, and they're like, "We're neutral, remember?" - Thank you.
We all understand.
- That was just a hypothetical Based on Ms.
Gibson's statement, Gordon Dean has been trying to locate Vak for the past six months.
Arvin suggested, and I agree, that if we find Vak first, we can then use him as bait to catch Gordon Dean.
In the past, he's been known to frequently partner with an Algerian arms broker.
They had a meeting a few months ago.
Nobody has heard from Vak since.
The Algerian underworld is particularly difficult to penetrate.
I think I know someone who can do it.
- Renée Rienne.
- Yeah.
Make contact with her.
See if she can get a lead on Janos Vak.
Sydney, I haven't had a chance to thank you for the letter of recommendation you wrote to the tribunal.
I know it helped persuade the judges regarding my release.
You're welcome.
There's something I need to confess, and I hope you don't judge me too harshly for it.
Every day I go to the hospital to visit Nadia.
I get off at her floor, talk to the doctors.
And yet I cannot set foot into her room.
I can't bear to see her hooked up to all those machines, knowing that it's my fault.
I know you'll do everything in your power to find a cure for Nadia.
Yes, I will.
I will do whatever it takes to save my daughter.
Argh! Sorry.
No, you can use the bag.
I'm done.
No, I don't like to work out around other people.
Hey I could use somebody to spar with.
I don't really spar.
I don't either which is why I could really use your help.
Don't want to get my ass kicked in the field.
What do you say? - How many fights you been in? - I don't know.
Enough.
You win? Of course.
Mostly.
Why? What did you hear? Nothing.
I've just never been in any real fights.
I kind of want to know what to do.
Not that.
Don't ever do that spinning kung-fu crap.
- You'll get yourself killed.
- OK, fine.
What should I be doing? All right.
For real? - I fight dirty.
- Dirty? - Go for the eyes, throat, nuts.
- The nuts? Cause as much damage, inflict as much pain as humanly possible.
- I don't know if I can do that.
- Well, then you shouldn't be here.
I'm serious! Look, everybody is taking care of you.
If they can't depend on you just go pack up your playthings! Go home to Mom That was better.
I want to see more of that.
Tom Grace.
Got it.
Briefing in 15.
Renée located the Algerian arms dealer.
The lasso technology is no longer a rumor.
Janos Vak designed a program to intercept and redirect missiles.
According to the arms dealer, Vak met with a Chinese official who bought the weapon.
Do we know where Vak is now? No one's seen him since.
He's dropped off the planet.
We'll pursue the Chinese official.
His name is General Liem Song.
He's staying at the Chinese Consulate in Bombay.
The general is marrying an Indian woman next month.
The consulate is throwing them an engagement party.
Our contact in Indian intelligence says the general keeps an encrypted copy of his contacts and schedule in a safe in his room.
They should lead us to Vak.
Sydney will break into the safe and acquire the intel.
Agents Dixon and Grace will offer support.
Marshall and Ms.
Gibson will run OPTEC.
Good luck.
The general's upstairs.
Doesn't he know it's hard to break into his safe if he's sitting in front of it? I don't think he's coming down tonight.
See that woman? That's the general's fiancée.
She looks pretty unhappy.
I think the general might be having second thoughts.
- Hey, Marshall? - Go, Phoenix.
- What's going on upstairs? - Wait for uno momento, por favor.
Uh OK.
Looks like all's quiet.
Just one soldier outside the general's door, very sharply dressed.
We've got to go about this a different way.
Remember the prince in Bahrain? - The guy with the harem? - Let's do that.
- What are you talking about? - I need your watch.
It's OK, I'm not really here.
Just follow my lead.
I am sorry, but I cannot allow you to marry the other man.
You belong to me.
It is time we told the world the truth.
Our love cannot be denied.
Aye-yi-yi! Marry me, Naomika.
Let us share our joy with everyone! - Let go of me! - I know that you love me! - The lady said let her go.
- But - Let her go! - We are destined for each other, Naomika.
Tell them, Naomika! Tell them! Ours is a forbidden love! She improvised that whole thing.
- Who knew pregnancy could be an alias? - And in Chinese.
Listen, I've had to do a little alias magic myself to save the day a few times.
- Do you know what a Spork is? - They're letting her in.
I just need more time.
I just need more time.
It's OK.
It's still early.
- OK, Marshall, I'm ready.
- OK I'm not getting a reading - too much shielding in the building.
- Are you saying you can't do it? - Well, no.
Of course not.
I need to set a relay closer to the building so I can boost your signal.
- Copy that.
- Got it.
I can do it.
You'll need to be here when it's activated.
It'll be faster this way.
Thanks.
Thank you for your help.
He's not a bad guy - he's just had his heart broken.
I'll get him home.
Thanks.
Heads up, Phoenix.
The fiancée's moving your way.
Marshall, what's the ETA? - Oracle, what's your status? - Relay's set.
OK.
Hang on a sec.
Great.
We're five by five.
Way to go.
I've got it.
I'm on my way.
I'm busted! East side of the building.
Wait for Sydney.
Get down.
You OK? If by OK you mean freaked and embarrassed, then, yeah, I'm great.
What you got there? Yeah? Finding everything OK? Yes, thank you.
Oh, I'd like to get this, please.
OK, great.
Oh, we get so many dads in the store these days.
I don't think my husband ever bought so much as a diaper.
Yeah.
My dad wasn't exactly hands-on either.
What about your husband? Is he doing his part? He's been great.
Wishes he could do more.
I love hearing that.
Times sure have changed.
Yeah.
- Hello.
- Hello.
You altered a suit for me.
Here's the ticket.
Oh, yes.
Why don't you wait in the back, and I'll bring it to you.
Thank you.
You should've told me about the consulate before your team went in.
There was no reason to complicate things.
Anyway, I assumed that you wanted APO to do the heavy lifting.
You don't get to assume anything.
- Did you locate Janos Vak? - The intel was encrypted.
I'll have an answer for you before the end of the day.
Call me when you do.
I don't have time to explain.
Yeah, she's here now, thank you.
- Hey.
- Hey.
We found Vak.
He's secluded on an oil platform in the South China Sea while he finishes his software program.
Marshall's pinpointing the coordinates.
Great.
How are we going in? We're not.
We're backup.
- Who's my dad sending? - Rachel Gibson.
Rachel? He's sending her in solo? Why would he do that? The Chinese government has suspended all shore leave for the platform workers.
No one gets on or off until Vak is done.
The sole exception is that every other weekend, Vak is allowed female companionship.
- You can't send her in alone.
- Rachel's bright.
You've seen it.
You saw what happened on our last mission.
She ran.
The mission was a success, Sydney.
You may not want to hear it, but this isn't an assignment you can do.
You know it as well as I do.
She's not ready.
At least delay the mission a few weeks.
- Give her time to train.
- Not an option.
If we're gonna use Vak and his weapon as bait to catch Dean, we can't afford to wait.
This is no different than when you were sent back into SD-6.
It's completely different.
I had Vaughn.
And Rachel will have you.
OK, once you see Vak alone, you'll need to knock him out, right? I don't mean rock-'em-sock-'em knock him out.
It's more of a, um Here we go.
Take a look.
This looks like a normal lipstick.
A very nice shade of red.
I think it would look good Anyway, touch it anywhere on his skin, it'll knock him out for at least two hours.
When he wakes, he'll think he had the time of his life.
You'll be on a chopper home.
Oh, and also I spring-loaded an ice pick into here.
You know, just in case.
But you're probably not gonna need that.
I mean, I'm sure you'll be fine.
Are you about ready? I've been going to the firing range every night, so when the time came, I'd be ready.
Of course, on my first solo mission, I have to go in unarmed.
Rachel, Jack wouldn't send you in if he didn't have complete faith in your ability to succeed.
I appreciate you saying that, but I know what everyone is thinking.
I'm the new girl, I panicked on the last mission and everybody is asking whether or not I can do it, and the truth is I don't know.
I'm terrified.
But I'm more terrified of not trying.
So I'm gonna put on my strappy shoes and my teeny dress, and I'm gonna try.
And by this time tomorrow, we'll know whether I can do it or not.
Janos Vak has been found.
The details are in here.
APO is sending in your former associate, Rachel Gibson.
She's going in solo to get the weapons design.
Gibson? Alone? Once she acquires it, I'll swap it out.
I'll get you the real program.
Did he just say they're sending Rachel? I don't trust Sloane.
We're not gonna wait.
I want you to get the weapon yourself.
Is there a problem? It'll just be strange if Rachel and I cross paths.
She thought I was her best friend.
Look, if we could have convinced her to play on our side, we would have.
But things didn't go that way.
So if I run into her? Show her the professional courtesy of putting a bullet in her head.
¤ I like the way you move ¤ I like the way you shake your hair ¤ I like the way you like to touch ¤ I like the way you stare so much ¤ But most of all ¤ Yeah, most of all ¤ I like the way you move This is a mistake.
I've never done anything like this, with the wig and the dress and - What am I gonna say to him? - Well, it isn't what you'd say.
Remember, you're playing a character.
It's what she would say.
- Who was the sluttiest girl in high school? - Mandy Camarillo.
- You didn't have to think hard on that.
- Tramp stole my date at junior prom.
She had red hair and a pierced tongue.
OK, so you're Mandy Camarillo.
And Janos Vak is your prom date.
Just say what she'd say.
You're not gonna be alone, not for a second.
I'll be on comms the whole time.
The way Vaughn was for me.
It helps a lot having you.
- I can do this, right? - Absolutely.
- Sydney? - OK, I'm with you, Rachel.
Just breathe.
You're so cute.
They didn't tell me you'd be so cute.
You do speak English, don't you? They told me you would speak English.
Of course, English.
I love English! Nice to meet you.
I am Janos.
Ra Mandy.
Ray-Mandy.
A beautiful name.
So this is where you live, huh? It's pretty sweet.
Only for a few more days.
My business here is almost done.
You must get very lonely.
Well, yes, which is why I'm so happy to see you.
Perhaps you would be more comfortable over here on the bed, Ray-Mandy.
No, I'm, uh I'm good.
Come on, Rachel.
What would Mandy do? Do you know how to make daiquiris? - I have champagne.
- Even better.
Idiot.
Uh-oh.
- What do you mean? - I dropped my lipstick.
Not a problem.
Your lips are absolutely perfect just the way they are.
Don't let him kiss you.
You're in charge.
Let me show you.
Has baby been bad? Oh, this is gonna be too easy.
Ray-Mandy, you're driving me crazy! Did I say you could talk? Yoy! - You've been a very bad boy.
- I'm sorry.
Mm.
You know what? I'm gonna be honest with you.
This whole baby-talk thing kind of creeps me out, so I'm just gonna cut to the chase.
I gotta go.
- Downloading.
- You're doing great.
I have the data.
I've destroyed the original.
Copy that.
Almost home.
Phoenix, I've got a small problem.
There's a dead soldier, and the boat's gone.
Copy that.
I'm sending in an emergency extraction.
Out.
We heard, Phoenix.
We're on our way.
Rendezvous in approximately five minutes.
Hear that? You'll be fine.
Make your way to the helideck.
Copy that.
Surprise.
- My God, you're - Not dead? I was gonna say "evil.
" Tell me I'm wrong.
Let's just say we work for different teams.
- You knew.
You were in on it with Dean! - I wanted to tell you.
You blew up that building.
You killed all those people.
It wasn't personal.
I I always liked you.
- It was a lie, everything we did! - That's enough.
Now you're gonna kill me.
That's what Dean wants.
You've made it really hard for him since you left.
Like I said I always liked you.
I don't want to kill you.
Just give me Vak's software program, and you walk away from this.
We can track Peyton after she leaves.
If you believe she'll let you live, give her the data.
Your life is more important.
Come on, Rachel.
You're in way over your head.
Don't make me shoot you.
Give me the disk.
OK.
You've got two seconds.
One Here.
You bitch! You should've given me the disk.
You were gonna kill me anyway.
Yeah.
But I would've felt bad about it.
Now it's gonna be fun.
Still having fun? - You're late.
- I said none of my people were to get hurt.
I do what I want, when I want.
Now, where is it? You didn't trust me.
You nearly ruined the operation.
I want the weapon.
You don't get to have it.
That's my price for your mistake.
My mistake? I'm not the one responsible for 100,000 deaths.
I'm not the one dangling on the end of a fish hook.
I'm the one who decides if the fish gets thrown back into the pond or if it gets flushed down the toilet.
Am I being clear? You don't get Vak's weapon.
How's your daughter? - Nadia has nothing to do with this.
- Oh, sure she does.
I want a copy of the lasso software first thing in the morning.
- Your father's kind of scary.
- Yeah, tell me about it.
- But he said we all did good, so - No, you did great.
Thanks for being in my head.
You're welcome.
I know how important that voice can be.
Vaughn talked me through all my early missions with the CIA.
Sometimes his voice was the only thing that kept me going.
I wish I could have met him.
I'll see you tomorrow.
¤ The water is wide ¤ I can't cross over ¤ And neither have ¤ I wings to fly ¤ Give me a boat ¤ That can carry two ¤ And both shall row ¤ My love and I ¤ The water is wide ¤ I can't cross over ¤ And neither have ¤ I wings to fly ¤ Give me a boat You OK? Just having some trouble picking the lock.
My fingers are numb.
Look, you're almost home.
Just get inside and plant the bug.
Easy for you to say.
It's 20-below out here.
You're warm.
I'll talk to Langley.
See if we can send you someplace warm next time.
It should have a beach.
Absolutely.
I'll find a bad guy who owns a resort, and you'll have to go undercover for, like, a month.
You know, that sounds pretty dangerous.
Maybe we both should go.
You'd do that for me? Hey, we're in this together, right? Bad robot!
- Hello, Gordon.
So you're my mysterious benefactor.
- Your clearance hasn't been reinstated.
- My chances of returning to APO are slim.
I need you at APO.
I had to dig through my friends yesterday because of Gordon Dean.
If I can help you stop him, then that's what I need to do.
Dad, Fiona wants to know if I can come over and study for a while.

Agents Dixon and Grace will offer support.
Marshall and Ms.
Gibson will run OPTEC.
Good luck.

- Hey, Marshall? - Go, Phoenix.
- What's going on upstairs? - Wait for uno momento, por favor.

Looks like all's quiet.
Just one soldier outside the general's door, very sharply dressed.
We've got to go about this a different way.

Marshall, what's the ETA? - Oracle, what's your status? - Relay's set.
OK.
Hang on a sec.
Great.
We're five by five.
Way to go.
I've got it.
I'm on my way.
I'm busted! East side of the building.
Wait for Sydney.
Get down.
You OK? If by OK you mean freaked and embarrassed, then, yeah, I'm great.
What you got there? Yeah? Finding everything OK? Yes, thank you.
Oh, I'd like to get this, please.
OK, great.
Oh, we get so many dads in the store these days.
I don't think my husband ever bought so much as a diaper.
Yeah.
My dad wasn't exactly hands-on either.
What about your husband? Is he doing his part? He's been great.
Wishes he could do more.
I love hearing that.
Times sure have changed.
Yeah.
- Hello.
- Hello.
You altered a suit for me.
Here's the ticket.
Oh, yes.
Why don't you wait in the back, and I'll bring it to you.
Thank you.
You should've told me about the consulate before your team went in.
There was no reason to complicate things.
Anyway, I assumed that you wanted APO to do the heavy lifting.
You don't get to assume anything.
- Did you locate Janos Vak? - The intel was encrypted.
I'll have an answer for you before the end of the day.
Call me when you do.
I don't have time to explain.
Yeah, she's here now, thank you.
- Hey.
- Hey.
We found Vak.
He's secluded on an oil platform in the South China Sea while he finishes his software program.
Marshall's pinpointing the coordinates.
Great.
How are we going in? We're not.
We're backup.
- Who's my dad sending? - Rachel Gibson.
Rachel? He's sending her in solo? Why would he do that? The Chinese government has suspended all shore leave for the platform workers.
No one gets on or off until Vak is done.
The sole exception is that every other weekend, Vak is allowed female companionship.
- You can't send her in alone.
- Rachel's bright.
You've seen it.
You saw what happened on our last mission.
She ran.
The mission was a success, Sydney.
You may not want to hear it, but this isn't an assignment you can do.
You know it as well as I do.
She's not ready.
At least delay the mission a few weeks.
- Give her time to train.
- Not an option.
If we're gonna use Vak and his weapon as bait to catch Dean, we can't afford to wait.
This is no different than when you were sent back into SD-6.
It's completely different.
I had Vaughn.
And Rachel will have you.
OK, once you see Vak alone, you'll need to knock him out, right? I don't mean rock-'em-sock-'em knock him out.
It's more of a, um Here we go.
Take a look.
This looks like a normal lipstick.
A very nice shade of red.
I think it would look good Anyway, touch it anywhere on his skin, it'll knock him out for at least two hours.
When he wakes, he'll think he had the time of his life.
You'll be on a chopper home.
Oh, and also I spring-loaded an ice pick into here.
You know, just in case.
But you're probably not gonna need that.
I mean, I'm sure you'll be fine.
Are you about ready? I've been going to the firing range every night, so when the time came, I'd be ready.
Of course, on my first solo mission, I have to go in unarmed.
Rachel, Jack wouldn't send you in if he didn't have complete faith in your ability to succeed.
I appreciate you saying that, but I know what everyone is thinking.
I'm the new girl, I panicked on the last mission and everybody is asking whether or not I can do it, and the truth is I don't know.
I'm terrified.
But I'm more terrified of not trying.
So I'm gonna put on my strappy shoes and my teeny dress, and I'm gonna try.
And by this time tomorrow, we'll know whether I can do it or not.
Janos Vak has been found.
The details are in here.
APO is sending in your former associate, Rachel Gibson.
She's going in solo to get the weapons design.
Gibson? Alone? Once she acquires it, I'll swap it out.
I'll get you the real program.
Did he just say they're sending Rachel? I don't trust Sloane.
We're not gonna wait.
I want you to get the weapon yourself.
Is there a problem? It'll just be strange if Rachel and I cross paths.
She thought I was her best friend.
Look, if we could have convinced her to play on our side, we would have.
But things didn't go that way.
So if I run into her? Show her the professional courtesy of putting a bullet in her head.
¤ I like the way you move ¤ I like the way you shake your hair ¤ I like the way you like to touch ¤ I like the way you stare so much ¤ But most of all ¤ Yeah, most of all ¤ I like the way you move This is a mistake.
I've never done anything like this, with the wig and the dress and - What am I gonna say to him? - Well, it isn't what you'd say.
Remember, you're playing a character.
It's what she would say.
- Who was the sluttiest girl in high school? - Mandy Camarillo.
- You didn't have to think hard on that.
- Tramp stole my date at junior prom.
She had red hair and a pierced tongue.
OK, so you're Mandy Camarillo.
And Janos Vak is your prom date.
Just say what she'd say.
You're not gonna be alone, not for a second.
I'll be on comms the whole time.
The way Vaughn was for me.
It helps a lot having you.
- I can do this, right? - Absolutely.
- Sydney? - OK, I'm with you, Rachel.
Just breathe.
You're so cute.
They didn't tell me you'd be so cute.
You do speak English, don't you? They told me you would speak English.
Of course, English.
I love English! Nice to meet you.
I am Janos.
Ra Mandy.
Ray-Mandy.
A beautiful name.
So this is where you live, huh? It's pretty sweet.
Only for a few more days.
My business here is almost done.
You must get very lonely.
Well, yes, which is why I'm so happy to see you.
Perhaps you would be more comfortable over here on the bed, Ray-Mandy.
No, I'm, uh I'm good.
Come on, Rachel.
What would Mandy do? Do you know how to make daiquiris? - I have champagne.
- Even better.
Idiot.
Uh-oh.
- What do you mean? - I dropped my lipstick.
Not a problem.
Your lips are absolutely perfect just the way they are.
Don't let him kiss you.
You're in charge.
Let me show you.
Has baby been bad? Oh, this is gonna be too easy.
Ray-Mandy, you're driving me crazy! Did I say you could talk? Yoy! - You've been a very bad boy.
- I'm sorry.
Mm.
You know what? I'm gonna be honest with you.
This whole baby-talk thing kind of creeps me out, so I'm just gonna cut to the chase.
I gotta go.
- Downloading.
- You're doing great.
I have the data.
I've destroyed the original.
Copy that.
Almost home.
Phoenix, I've got a small problem.
There's a dead soldier, and the boat's gone.
Copy that.
I'm sending in an emergency extraction.
Out.
We heard, Phoenix.
We're on our way.
Rendezvous in approximately five minutes.
Hear that? You'll be fine.
Make your way to the helideck.
Copy that.
Surprise.
- My God, you're - Not dead? I was gonna say "evil.
" Tell me I'm wrong.
Let's just say we work for different teams.
- You knew.
You were in on it with Dean! - I wanted to tell you.
You blew up that building.
You killed all those people.
It wasn't personal.
I I always liked you.
- It was a lie, everything we did! - That's enough.
Now you're gonna kill me.
That's what Dean wants.
You've made it really hard for him since you left.
Like I said I always liked you.
I don't want to kill you.
Just give me Vak's software program, and you walk away from this.
We can track Peyton after she leaves.
If you believe she'll let you live, give her the data.
Your life is more important.
Come on, Rachel.
You're in way over your head.
Don't make me shoot you.
Give me the disk.
OK.
You've got two seconds.
One Here.
You bitch! You should've given me the disk.
You were gonna kill me anyway.
Yeah.
But I would've felt bad about it.
Now it's gonna be fun.
Still having fun? - You're late.
- I said none of my people were to get hurt.
I do what I want, when I want.
Now, where is it? You didn't trust me.
You nearly ruined the operation.
I want the weapon.
You don't get to have it.
That's my price for your mistake.
My mistake? I'm not the one responsible for 100,000 deaths.
I'm not the one dangling on the end of a fish hook.
I'm the one who decides if the fish gets thrown back into the pond or if it gets flushed down the toilet.
Am I being clear? You don't get Vak's weapon.
How's your daughter? - Nadia has nothing to do with this.
- Oh, sure she does.
I want a copy of the lasso software first thing in the morning.
- Your father's kind of scary.
- Yeah, tell me about it.
- But he said we all did good, so - No, you did great.
Thanks for being in my head.
You're welcome.
I know how important that voice can be.
Vaughn talked me through all my early missions with the CIA.
Sometimes his voice was the only thing that kept me going.
I wish I could have met him.
I'll see you tomorrow.
¤ The water is wide ¤ I can't cross over ¤ And neither have ¤ I wings to fly ¤ Give me a boat ¤ That can carry two ¤ And both shall row ¤ My love and I ¤ The water is wide ¤ I can't cross over ¤ And neither have ¤ I wings to fly ¤ Give me a boat You OK? Just having some trouble picking the lock.
My fingers are numb.
Look, you're almost home.
Just get inside and plant the bug.
Easy for you to say.
It's 20-below out here.
You're warm.
I'll talk to Langley.
See if we can send you someplace warm next time.
It should have a beach.
Absolutely.
I'll find a bad guy who owns a resort, and you'll have to go undercover for, like, a month.
You know, that sounds pretty dangerous.
Maybe we both should go.
You'd do that for me? Hey, we're in this together, right? Bad robot!
