Alias s05e14 Episode Script

Previously on "Alias": She's not here.
Repeat, Anna is not in the car.
- Get out of my way.
- You can't have it.
I won't let you.
Stop it.
Move.
I have betrayed everyone I ever loved, but I was chosen and this is my road to follow.
Welcome back.
Today we shouldn't focus on what we lost but what we gained by having Nadia in our lives.
I not only gained a sister, but a friend.
When I think of the years of loneliness she had - no family to speak of, not knowing where she truly belonged - I'm so grateful for the warmth and affection she was surrounded by in the end.
She taught me the meaning of family.
That it goes deeper than blood.
That it starts with friendship.
And it comforts me to know that although she was taken far too soon what she left me with will stay with me forever.
How could I have trusted him again? After everything? You thought he'd changed.
Nadia didn't.
I convinced her that he deserved a second chance.
I showed him compassion.
I won't make that mistake again.
- Has he asked for anything? - No.
Just a pitcher of water.
How's it coming? Page 47.
Have you decoded it yet? As I told you before, it's going to take time.
More time, if these interruptions continue.
It's been almost a week already, Mr.
Sloane.
So when do you think we may see some results? This isn't a crossword puzzle, Ms.
Peyton.
The key to Rambaldi's end game is encoded within that manuscript where it has remained hidden for 500 years.
I hardly think that a week is unreasonable.
Perhaps you'd like to take a walk around the grounds.
Something to clear your mind, allow you to focus.
I'm sure the armed gentleman outside the door won't mind if I slip away for lunch.
You're not a prisoner, if that's what you're asking, but given your fugitive status you understand our reservations about letting you walk around in public.
Yes, of course.
I know you've had to make some tough sacrifices.
We all have.
You think I'm having a crisis of conscience because I killed Nadia? Let me be clear.
No one will stand between me and the fulfillment of Rambaldi's ultimate vision.
No one.
And unless you know someone else who's familiar with 15th-century cryptography, I'm sure you can wait a few more days.
Of course.
If there's anything we can do to expedite your work, you'll let me know? - Have you seen anything like that before? - It's a solid-state memory chip.
Cutting-edge tech, back in the '70s, which I'm guessing is when this guy was made.
- What was it doing inside Renée? - That's the million-dollar question, isn't it? There's several hundred kilobytes of data on this thing.
Problem is, it's all encoded.
Who'd think 30-year-old encrypted algorithms would be a problem? It wouldn't if the code was complete, but half the data's missing.
Probably corrupted over time.
Without it, I can't create a baseline for encryption analysis.
- You can't extrapolate the missing data? - I'm trying to, if I can hold my breath.
What about these markings? What are these? Uh, it's probably nothing.
You know, maybe just a serial number, maybe, or oh, the name of the company that desi Whoa.
- What is it? - Hold on a sec.
I'll put it up on the monitor.
- We should tell Sydney.
- I'll do that.
In the meantime do what it takes to break that encryption, and I want to know what else is on this chip, and what it was doing inside Renée.
We just got a hit on one of the hard lines.
Contact Peyton.
I'm sending it over now.
Shh, shh, shh.
Isabelle.
Will you please sleep? Sleep.
Come on, come on.
- Hey, Dad.
- Hey, sweetheart.
Isn't this her nap time? Oh, I wish.
Apparently this little girl doesn't need sleep anymore.
- We got a collective four hours last night.
- Must be genetic.
You used to wake up at 4am every day, like clockwork.
I'm sorry about that.
Did Marshall finish his analysis of the chip? That's why I'm here.
Marshall found data on it, all of it encrypted.
He also found something else.
Vaughn's name was etched on the outside of the device.
- His real name, André Michaux.
- Wait.
What? Marshall believes the chip was placed inside Renée almost 30 years ago.
Vaughn and Renée didn't know each other 30 years ago.
Their fathers did.
Vaughn told you they worked together against Prophet Five.
And you're thinking what? That one of them implanted the chip inside Renée? At this point it's the most likely presumption.
- Why? Why would they? - I don't know.
But someone left Vaughn's name on it intentionally, expecting it to be found.
It's possible he may have some understanding of what the chip contains.
Dad.
No.
As far as Prophet Five is concerned, Vaughn is dead.
Involving him A calculated risk, I know.
He's still in recovery.
He is not field ready.
I know.
I'll do everything I can to protect him.
We'll have an agent dead drop the chip.
He'll never be seen.
- Dad - Sydney, we don't have a choice.
Sloane's decision to openly join Prophet Five suggests that they're close to their end game.
Right now, this chip is our only lead.
OK.
But if someone's gonna take that chip to Vaughn, it's me.
Syd's en route to Nepal to see someone who can decipher the chip.
- Who's the contact? - Someone who worked with Renée.
That's all Jack told me.
This contact Sydney's meeting in Nepal.
Do you have any idea who it is? No, I don't know of any assets in Nepal.
I assume this means that you're going to take action on this.
You sure that's wise? APO will want to know how you obtained the intel, which could prompt them to looking into the security leak.
Whatever's on that chip, I certainly hope it's worth the risk.
Thanks for the counsel.
We're sending an agent to intercept the device.
We'd like you to brief her before she leaves.
Fine, although I'm not sure what further assistance I can provide.
Oh, I think you'd be surprised.
Send her in, please.
You remember Anna Espinosa.
- Hey.
- Hey.
- You busy? - Just trying to catch up on the latest tech.
What's going on? When's the last time you went to a movie? The last movie.
Uh I used to go to movies all the time, and I haven't been in so long because there's always something more important to do.
This isn't about going to the movies, is it? When you were working at the Shed, did you ever see an agent buried? No.
- It takes a while to get over it.
- What if I can't? What if I'm not cut out for this? First it was Gordon Dean, and now it's Sloane.
They were right in front of me the whole time deceiving me and I was oblivious.
You're a good agent, Rachel.
Listen.
I would tell you if I didn't think you could handle this.
Thanks.
Hello? I'd like to place a classified ad in next week's edition.
A child? Yes, that's right.
Sydney has a daughter.
What's her name? Isabelle.
I suppose Vaughn is the father.
Or was the father, I should say.
Yes, that's right.
In this business, it's always the children who suffer.
Hm.
Arvin, it troubles you, doesn't it? Looking at me, seeing her look back at you.
You're nothing like her.
- I suppose you know what I'm like? - Of course I do.
You're driven by anger.
You crave power, which I assume is something you were deprived of in childhood.
Sydney, on the other hand, is driven by a sense of duty, of loyalty, to those she loves.
That's where she gets her strength.
It's also what makes her weak.
Attachments are a vulnerability, which are easily exploited.
And yet, she somehow always manages to best you.
And now a victory she's not even aware of.
Tell me I imagine you do your best to avoid mirrors, yes? And I suppose you believe you're driven by faith? Look where it's gotten you.
Something tells me being Prophet Five's newest pawn wasn't your end game.
Well, unlike yourself, I know my place in the big picture.
You will continue to deceive yourself if you think you're anything more than dispensable.
This procedure that you've undergone.
There must be a reason why they want you to look like Sydney, and when that purpose is fulfilled you will become unnecessary.
Lovely catching up.
The truth is, you're no different than she is.
You're dispensable too.
Miss Bristow? I'm Nabin.
- I'm afraid you must have overlooked me.
- Yes, I did.
It's no matter.
You yourself are hard to overlook.
In fact, you're just as lovely as Mr.
Vaughn described.
Mr.
Vaughn.
Don't tell him I told you.
He talks about you all the time.
Come.
My car is just this way.
The drive is only 20 minutes.
- How is Mr.
Vaughn? - He's recovering very well.
Nicely healed, I should think.
Here we are.
Can I help you with your bag? Hurry, we don't have much time.
His name's Nabin.
Michael Vaughn sent him to pick up Agent Bristow.
- Vaughn? Isn't he? - Apparently not.
- OK.
I'll see you at the intercept point.
- Wait.
Wear this.
- Nabin? - Miss Bristow.
- Welcome to Nepal.
- Thank you.
Right this way.
Mr Vaughn is so eager to see you.
- No, this is not good.
- Sorry, sir.
When will you have the one with the comfort grip in stock? - I'll transfer you to Customer Service.
- No! - Ask for the manager.
- Could you repeat that? - Can you hear me? - No, I can There's a clicking sound.
- Do you hear that? - No, but I'll have the managercall you - All right, why don't you have him call me? - All right.
- Thank you for nothing.
Bye.
- Thank you forcalling.
- Marshall? - Um - We're out of coffee.
- Coffee? Yeah.
Uh, I know you might not think that's important, that a lot of people who don't drink coffee generally might say that you should have some tea or some soda, which also has, um, caffeine but I'm telling you it's not the same.
It's important.
- You're sure? - Positive.
I noticed a glitch on the phone so I checked the PBX controls.
According to records, Sloane logged onto the network and put the entire phone system on some sort of passive surveillance mode - which I didn't even know was possible.
- How did he get access? His authorization codes were revoked four days ago.
I was thinking the same thing, but Sloane installed most of the systems.
He must have installed some sort of back door in the network.
Listen, for the past 24 hours, Sloane and most likely Prophet Five have been able to monitor every conversation inside APO.
We need to contact Sydney immediately.
- Hello? - Sydney, listen to me very carefully.
- Are you with yourcontact? - Yeah, I am.
There's been a security breach at APO.
It was Sloane.
We have reason to believe you've been compromised.
No, we're right on time, actually.
I'll call you once we arrive.
Cellphones, they are a miracle.
Don't slow down, just go around.
You're in a hurry, I understand, but perhaps shouldn't we stop for him? Hello, Sydney.
Well, that was fairly easy.
Of course, if I'd known it was in Renée I would have saved us both the trouble and cut it out of her myself when I slit her throat.
Wait.
Anna.
Sorry, Syd, don't have time to chat.
I've got a date.
Now, I don't know exactly what I'm gonna do with your boyfriend.
But whatever it is I'll have fun doing it.
Hey.
Hi.
- Are you OK? - Yeah, yeah, fine.
Actually, the doctor says I don't need this anymore.
I think it looks debonair.
It does.
God, I missed you.
How is she? Isabelle.
She's beautiful.
Just like her mother.
Isabelle.
Isabelle.
You named her Isabelle.
- You like it? - Yeah.
It was my idea, wasn't it? What is it you wanted? Clementine? Not a day's gone by that I didn't want to call you, talk to you.
I had this fear I'd never see you again.
Silly, huh? Maybe a little.
I'm assuming this is good news.
Have you made any progress? No.
Unfortunately I've discovered an anomaly in the composition.
Joseph Pinara's influence in Rambaldi's encryption.
Pinara was a 14th-century cleric who I'll skip the history lesson if you don't mind.
Le Librairie.
It's a private seller of used books in Geneva.
They have a copy of the Pinara manuscript.
I can't decipher page 47 without it.
Fine.
Write down the address.
I'll get it myself.
Very well.
How long do you think you can deceive them? Page 47? Eventually they're gonna find out you already know what it says.
Hm.
You're stalling.
You must have some plan.
What do you want from me, Nadia? I don't want anything.
Why don't you understand, Nadia? Every sacrifice I've ever made has been for the greater good.
Yet every sacrifice you've made has come at someone else's expense.
Or have you forgotten? Oh, no, I haven't forgotten.
I play it over in my mind.
The irony, all those years I was worried about your well-being, and now I realize, in the end I had no choice.
You still believe that, don't you? That your actions are controlled by fate? That you were chosen? Why, Dad? Surely you must ask yourself, "Why would Rambaldi choose you?" You're not a man of honor.
You're not particularly courageous.
You're charitable, but only when it serves your own interest, and last but not least, you murder the people you claim to love.
- What do you want from me, Nadia? - I don't want anything.
Then why are you here? Dad.
I'm here because you want me here.
Now you can pursue Rambaldi and have your daughter at the same time.
Isn't that what you said you wanted? Just before you killed me? No.
Not like this.
Sir? Do you need anything? I thought I heard you talking.
No.
I'm fine.
I can't believe Renée's dead.
If it hadn't been for her I'd have never known about Prophet Five or the truth of my father.
None of it.
Who killed her? - Anna Espinosa.
- Anna? She was in jail.
Apparently Prophet Five arranged for her release.
What do you think it is? I don't know.
Renée never mentioned it.
Marshall couldn't decode it? He thought part of the code might be missing.
Most of the data's been corrupted.
He thinks it was inside Renée's body since she was a kid, maybe 30 years.
What is it? Where was it, exactly? - What do you mean? - Inside Renée's body, where was it? I don't know.
Why? My father told me that I had a bike accident when I was a kid.
Drove it right into a tree.
And even though I have no recollection of it, I never questioned him, because it left me with this scar.
Maybe the code isn't corrupted at all.
Maybe there's another half.
OK, this might prevent infection, but it won't help with pain.
No, but if you can handle childbirth, I can handle this.
I'm in good hands.
You need to sit very still.
- This is gonna hurt.
- Yeah, I know, you mentioned that.
It's OK.
I trust you.
- Hello? - Dad, it's me.
- Sydney, are you OK? - You were right.
The mission's been compromised.
Anna knows about Vaughn.
- Where are you? - Wait, Dad, listen to me.
It gets worse.
I've been doubled.
You need to stay still.
- Think about something else.
- Give me something to think about.
Tell me about Isabelle.
Well, she has your eyes.
The same blue-green, and her smile is - Is like your smile.
- Really? Yeah.
But her chin is pointy.
It's like mine.
It's cute.
Oh, God, I can't wait to meet her.
Ah! Got it.
Apply pressure.
- Same etchings.
- Renée Goursaud.
Yeah.
Can I see that? Perfect fit.
I'm looking for a manuscript by Joseph Pinara.
I called ahead.
Wait one moment.
I've got it right over here.
Your receipt is in the book.
Nothing else? No.
That'll be all.
Thanks.
I believe there is someone trying to contact you.
No.
It wasn't him.
It was a woman, but she knew the protocol.
- German.
- Yeah.
Looks like some sort of emergency evacuation plan, continuity of government from the Cold War.
It's a nuclear fallout bunker.
Hamburg, Germany, under Bergner Park.
You think there's something there? - Maybe.
I'm gonna go with you to find out.
- Oh I know you think I'm not ready, but you said it, my father left this map.
Chances are when you get there you may need my help.
You're right.
I'll call for transport.
OK.
No! What I'm about to tell you is not to leave this room.
Agent Vaughn is alive.
I knew it.
I knew it! I knew he couldn't be dead.
The last few months he's been in a secure location in Nepal pending his recovery.
I hope you all understand that secrecy was a necessary measure to ensure his safety.
Unfortunately, those measures weren't sufficient.
Through Sloane's tapping, Prophet Five learned of Sydney's trip to Nepal.
- They sent an agent to intercept her.
- Is she OK? She's fine.
She made it to Vaughn's location but Vaughn was no longer there.
- He was abducted? - In a manner of speaking.
We managed to pick up the trail.
This was taken in Hamburg International Airport one hour ago.
The woman in the photo is not Sydney.
You sure you got the coordinates right? - What happened to Bergner Park? - A lot changes in 30 years.
But those bunkers are steel-reinforced concrete - tough to demolish.
My guess is that they're still under there.
We just have to find a way in.
You know, that diamond store over there probably has some pretty expensive pieces.
- Chances are they're locked away.
- In some sort of basement storage room.
Worth a try.
- How do you wanna handle this? - Like we did in Cartagena? I'll follow your lead.
OK, let's go.
Do you really think you can get away with this? You're out of your league.
They killed Vaughn and Renée, and probably Sydney by now.
Stop, Nadia.
Just stop.
They're better than you.
Smarter.
What makes you think you stand a chance? This should solve all your problems.
The Pinara manuscript.
I hope it helps.
Well.
With all the work that has to be done, I'll get out of your way.
Unfortunately, I seem to be getting in my own way.
How is that? The effects of losing a child cannot be underestimated.
You're right.
I am distracted.
In order for me to concentrate on the future, I need to make peace with the past.
Mm.
Oh, baby, look at this one.
Oh! - Really? - Oh, it's gorgeous.
- I prefer that one there.
It's less big.
- No, no.
No, no.
- Is there anything you would like to see? - Hi, is this a princess cut? Yes, it is.
Your girlfriend has very good taste.
For that price she might as well be a princess.
Costs nothing to try on.
A stone of that quality has this effect on some people.
No, she has seizures.
Kelly, just breathe.
It's OK.
Can I get some help here, please? It's OK, just relax.
- How do I get access downstairs? - Uh uh My keys, take my keys.
Watch him.
I'm in Hamburg.
Trommelstraße 123.
I'll need an extraction.
Don't hurt me, please.
I'll do whatever you ask.
Then shut up.
Thanks.
I've got it from here.
Who are you? It's a pity you'll never know.
Sydney and I never went to Cartagena.
And just for the record, you're a terrible kisser.
I always said Sydney was too good for you.
Let's see if this one's loaded.
Sydney.
- Sydney.
- Vaughn.
- Are you all right? - Yeah, I'm fine.
How did you? OK.
We can go now.
Project summaries, test subjects, names, dates, it's all here.
- Your father's research of Prophet Five.
- Most of these organizations still exist.
We could end it all.
- Go ahead.
- I got your message.
Did you get the chip? - Yes.
I'm done here.
- Good.
Trommelstraße.
We should be there in five minutes.
That was Peyton.
She's coming to extract Anna.
Who's Peyton? Sloane is part of this.
He works with Prophet Five.
He killed Nadia.
- This is my chance to stop him.
- Syd I know.
You can't go back to APO.
There are moles in the government, we can't trust anyone.
Contact my father.
Explain the situation.
OK, I will.
Here, take this.
It's useless to them without the other half.
Take the tracking device in your phone.
Embed it in the chip.
Before you hand it over we'll be able to track you.
I have to go.
Yeah.
Be careful.
We were expecting to hear from you sooner.
I ran into a few complications.
Nothing I couldn't handle.
And Sydney? She's dead.
This is what they found inside Renée Rienne.
Nice work.
Well, if you were able to pull this off the rest should be easy.
Yeah.
