Alias s01e07 Episode Script
Color-Blind
My name is Sydney Bristow.
Seven years ago,|I was recruited by a secret branch of the CIA|caIIed SD-6.
I was sworn to secrecy, but I couIdn't keep it|from my fiancé, and when the head of SD-6|found out, he had him kiIIed.
That's when I Iearned|the truth.
SD-6 is not part of the CIA.
I'd been working|for the very peopIe I thought|I was fighting against.
So I went to the onIy pIace that couId heIp me|take them down.
Now I'm a doubIe agent|for the CIA, where my handIer|is a man named MichaeI Vaughn.
OnIy one other person knows|the truth about what I do.
Another doubIe agent|inside SD-6.
Someone I hardIy know.
My father.
Mr.
Tippin? l'm Kate Jones.
Danny and l were having|an affair.
l knew that|he had been seeing someone, but l wasn't really thinking|so much about her.
Here's what doesn't|make any sense.
l did a trace on|your Social Security number.
Kate Jones.
.
.
you died in 1 9 7 3.
l have to go.
Who the hell are you? Oh , no.
That leak.
|The glitch .
There's a worm .
|There's a hacker in our network.
They're downloading|all the files off the server! Got to cut the hard line.
Hello, Alain?|We need to meet.
l think we have a mole.
Parkishoff was assassinated|by Martin Shepard .
Shepard checked himself|into a mental institution in southern Romania.
We want you to get close|to Shepard and get him to tell you|where Parkishoff is buried .
Agent Fisher will be|your support on this one.
His alias is|Dr.
Carlos Fontanetta.
Fisher? MAN : Hey! [ Groans .]
[ Dart gun fires .]
SLOANE : Jack, l thought|you should know Sydney and Fisher missed|their scheduled contact.
What are you thinking? Worst case is,|they're not alone in there.
Maybe someone posing|as a patient or a doctor.
Come on , Jack.
|Sydney's a smart kid .
We've seen her through|worse than this.
Maybe not.
Maybe not.
But l believe in her.
l believe in her as if|she were my own daughter.
That's nice to hear.
When's her next|scheduled contact? Then we'll know|how hot the water is.
Let us not waste time.
l know that you work for SD-6.
l know that you are here|to find out where Martin Shepard|buried Parkishoff, that you need Parkishoff's DNA|to read FTL code.
What l do not know|is whether you have succeeded .
Since we're not playing games.
.
.
[ Exhales deeply .]
.
.
.
which is refreshing .
.
.
l'd like to know who's asking .
My affiliation is unimportant.
You have until|the machine charges.
Answer my question .
Wait.
This can't be the best|version of this conversation .
Look, Shepard didn't talk.
l don't know|where Parkishoff is buried .
Wait.
Wait! l'm telling you !|l don't know anything ! Wait! [ Whimpering .]
Ah , Mr.
Bristow.
Your usual table|is waiting for you , sir.
Thank you , Joey.
Mr.
Bristow,|l'm sorry about the -- Who are you? l'm ClA.
|Operations Officer Vaughn .
l'm Sydney's handler.
l cleared this meet with Devlin .
Cretchmer walked me through|your S .
O.
P.
We're safe.
Are Sydney and l|switching handlers, or is this a special occasion? No.
|We have a problem .
Fisher hasn't made contact.
|l know.
We believe K-Directorate|had an agent waiting in the hospital .
SD-6 does not have|confirmation of that.
The ClA does.
We have an extraction team waiting on the ready line|out of Serbia.
l want to pull Sydney|out of there.
l was hoping that we could|coordinate this together.
Mr.
Vaughn , you're young .
And you're eager,|and l understand that.
One thing you're not, and this is something only|time can provide, really, is wise.
You don't think|this is the right move.
Listen carefully, Mr.
Vaughn .
Even with a minimal|extraction team , you can't guarantee containment.
lf Sloane finds out,|Sydney's as good as dead .
Retire her early.
|Pull her out of service.
ln the process,|expose your operation at SD-6.
Sydney's life is worth the risk.
Not to Sydney! Taking them down is what|gets her up in the morning .
Or did you think it was|those meetings she has with you? Hey, what is your problem|with me? You pulled my file last week.
That's my problem , Mr.
Vaughn .
Did curiosity|get the better of you , or were you trying to impress|my daughter? She thinks you were KGB.
But l'm sure|you already knew that.
What l'm wondering is,|what were you doing checking up on me|checking up on you? This meeting is over.
You can't torture Shepard|for information .
[ Machine hums, whines .]
Electroshock won't work.
FTL trained him to forget|everything he did .
That's why you're here|posing as a shrink.
You're K-Directorate,|aren't you? What makes you think|l work with K-Directorate? Your accent's Georgian .
Georgia, former Soviet Union .
Their main recruiting ground .
Shepard thinks l'm a patient.
He's more likely|to trust me than you .
Except he has already|attacked you .
Which l could use to seal|his transference by bringing his guilt|to the surface and then forgiving him .
l suppose you'd like|your life in return .
lf you'll get Shepard to recall|the location of Parkishoff, you might just live out|your life in a Chechnyan internment camp.
You have until lockdown tonight.
[ Door slams .]
Stay away from me.
l'm here to help you .
l don't want your help.
l'm not open to your help.
l think l know|what's happening to you .
l'm sure you do,|because you're one of them .
You know the words that|are going on in my head .
l know l've seen you|somewhere before.
No, you haven't.
l thought l was safe here.
|l thought l was safe here.
What l'm about to say|to you is the truth , so you got to listen to me.
They are gonna kill us both|if we don't help each other to get out of here.
Then you've got|a real problem .
.
.
.
.
.
because l'm not leaving here.
l would rather die.
.
.
.
.
.
than leave the way l am now.
Do you have the chart|Dr.
Kreshnik asked for? Yellow sky.
lnteresting choice.
l told you ,|you stay away from me.
l know that you're starting|to remember some things.
l know you think that l had|something to do with them , but l didn't.
Piss off.
You can't see colors, can you? Who are you? lf you're not one of the people|that did this to me, then how do you know that? l'll tell you|what you need to know, but first you have to help me.
l was sent here to get|some information from you , but l don't even care|about that anymore.
All l care about|is that the main exit door has a dual-key lock.
That means it takes two people using two keys at the same time|to open the door.
l told you ,|l'm not leaving here.
No, please believe me.
There are people who want to|find out what's in your head .
When they don't,|they will kill us both .
You want me to believe you ,|but you don't tell me anything .
l know l've seen you somewhere.
Okay, okay.
Look.
.
.
.
.
.
you were trained .
You were programmed|to follow orders.
Whose orders? Whose orders? To do what? To do.
.
.
To kill .
No.
No.
The things you're remembering .
|They're real .
l know it's hard to hear.
Accept that you did|these things.
l'd rather be crazy.
When you're following orders, you're trained to see|everything in black and white to keep you detached|from what you have to do.
You're not supposed to remember|anything , but you are.
Your training must be|short-circuiting .
What you did ,|it's so painful to remember that you're seeing in black|and white all the time.
lt's a defense mechanism ,|but it's good .
You're starting to heal ,|to get better and better.
Stop it, please! Guard ! Take me to my room .
Take him .
Lockdown .
Tell Dr.
Kreshnik l have|the information he needs.
A memo from legal|about reporters quoting other reporters.
What's it say? ''Cut it out.
'' Happy Thanksgiving .
Thanks, Jenny.
Davis, can you|scroll back down for a second? Did you get the memo? Can you just show me|the damn picture? All right.
Jeez.
Her name was Eloise Kurtz.
Local girl .
Found shot to death|in Echo Park.
Did you know her? WlLL: She said her name|was Kate Jones, but it was really|Eloise Kurtz.
She was my source in|the Danny Hecht investigation .
She was involved somehow, she|was trying to tell me something , and now she's dead .
l am not saying|there is nothing here.
You wouldn't publish this even though l was investigating|one murder and now two? The fastest way|to be discredited is to author a conspiracy theory|without background .
Believe me, l have seen this.
You might as well publish|your own home page.
Will you at least|take a look at my notes? Leave them on my desk|when you go.
l'm not telling you|to drop this.
l'm not being a monster.
l'm telling you|to bring it back to me when it's more developed .
[ Heartbeat pounding .]
[ lndistinct voices .]
[ Gunshot .]
[ Glass breaking .]
[ Rapid gunshots .]
Oh , my God .
We are coming to you now,|Doctor.
What is that tattoo on your arm? Spitznas special forces? l almost got a tattoo once.
l was on the guy's chair.
.
.
[ Door closes .]
Aah ! Take her.
Hurts, doesn't it? You were right.
l don't want to die in here.
How did you get out|of your room? Oh , l was quite good , actually.
l pretended|to swallow my tongue, and lifted the keys.
Hey.
Look at me.
You can do this.
You think l'd help you get out|if l thought you'd kill someone? Unless you're planning|on killing me.
Why would l do that? [ Alarm blaring .]
[ Tires screech .]
Sorry.
Get in ! Seat belt.
[ ''The Wait''|playing on headphones .]
* I said the wait chiId,|bruised-baII chiId * * Pride-sIapped chiId hurts * Whoa.
Hey.
Company.
Uh , here,|totally a mess in here.
l'm sorry, let me just -- l wasn't really|expecting anyone.
You want to have a seat? l got a minor form of scoliosis, so the air|ergonomically hugs me.
Oh , you want to stretch out? l can inflate the couch .
l'll stand .
Oh , by the way, l scanned every byte|of that computer network.
No more virus.
|That leak is plugged .
Even better news,|since it was exporting files at such a low bandwidth .
The virus was|a Security Section drill .
Um .
.
.
a drill? Like a test? You were the only one|who caught it, and faster|than anyone anticipated .
So good work.
That leak was transmitted over|an unsecure net connection .
lsn't that a little risky? Security Section was|surveilling it the whole time.
l just wanted to let you know.
Okay.
Thanks.
[ Cellular phone rings .]
-Yes?|-Dad? Where's Vaughn? l had his number forwarded .
Are you all right? l'm at the safe house.
Any trouble finding it? Only took six hours of driving through the forest|in the dark.
ls Shepard with you? Yes.
Get to Rinas Airport in Tirana.
There's a charter flight|waiting for you under Kraja Petrol Corp.
The hardest part's over, Sydney.
We'll talk when you get back.
[ Sighs .]
Why me? Why did you|ever come talk to me? l was looking for a man .
Who? The man who you killed|and buried .
His name was Gareth Parkishoff.
That's what|l was sent in to find .
A man l killed .
The first time l had|the images in my head , it was like.
.
.
.
.
.
a seizure.
Flashes of people, places.
A street sign .
l thought l was remembering|bad dreams because it was|in black and white, but it was so vivid .
lt was so vivid .
l didn't know how much|of it was real .
l found the street.
l heard there had been a murder.
A shopkeeper recognized me.
l was convinced|l had to be delusional .
l couldn't be a killer.
Where you found me|was as remote a place as l could find|to lock myself away in case.
.
.
.
.
.
in case l was wrong .
lt's not your fault.
l feel like l've been stolen .
.
.
.
.
.
from myself.
l don't know|if there was ever a me.
l don't know who.
.
.
Please tell me|who you are, Sydney.
Maybe that will help me|to understand .
How did you know my name? l don't.
.
.
How did you know my name? The banner.
What banner? lt said|''Happy Birthday, Sydney.
'' l heard the water running .
[ Water running .]
l'm so sorry.
Oh ! [ Door closes .]
The man you were ordered|to kill was my fiancé.
His name was Danny.
l told Danny.
.
.
.
.
.
l'm a spy because he was|the one part of my life l couldn't stand to be a lie.
And when SD-6 found out, they called on one|of their hit men .
Someone they'd already enlisted .
They called on you .
l think the man|who programmed you is named McCullough .
He's their neuro tech .
McCullough .
Yeah .
Yeah .
He's in here.
The irony is they never lied|to me about what would happen if l told someone.
lt was the one thing they said|that turned out to be true.
Now l'm a double agent|for the ClA.
And l will be|until SD-6 is gone.
Will .
.
.
.
.
.
finding where|Parkishoff is buried .
.
.
.
.
.
help you to take down|the people that did this to us? Yes.
l left his body in marshland on the Louisiana-Texas border off the l-1 0.
So that's the deal? Shepard wrote down the location|of Parkishoff's body.
ln exchange, l helped him|escape the asylum .
l see.
Where's Shepard now? He committed suicide.
Something went wrong|with his programming .
He started remembering|what he'd done.
Snapped .
When we were crossing|over the border into Bulgaria, he jumped .
Threw himself off the bridge|into Lake Scutari .
There is no way|he could have survived .
lf by some miracle|he did survive, l'm sure we'll hear about it|sooner or later.
l told SD-6 Shepard was dead .
l was going to lie to you|about it, too, but the truth is.
.
.
l can't stand lying|to anyone else.
Well , l appreciate that.
l'll be honest with you , too.
There are people at the agency|who will want him found .
He's as much a victim|of SD-6 as l am .
Shepard buried Parkishoff's body|in a Louisiana marshland .
Sloane sent out a forensics team|to get a DNA sample.
They should be able to use it to decode the FTL message|by tonight.
We were worried .
Yeah , l know the ClA hates|to lose its assets.
No, l mean l was worried|for you .
ln fact,|l contacted your father.
Just so you know, he knows l pulled his file,|and he suspects you've seen it.
lt's okay.
[ Pager beeps .]
lt's me.
Yeah , that's what l thought.
Looks like|our SD-6 computer virus is turning out|to be a gold mine.
Good .
Maybe we can get ahead|of them for once.
Why don't you go home,|get some rest? Happy Thanksgiving .
Oh , God .
Francie? Okay, were you ever gonna|call me back? l'm sorry.
Where the hell have you been?|l left three messages.
l know.
|My trip was extended .
-You can't just disappear.
|-What's burning? lt's just a little oven fire.
l just moved in here.
l fricasseed the turkey.
You okay? l'm glad to be home.
Okay, but the turkey's|really burning .
lt's burning .
Oh , great.
Ooh .
Francie, what'd you do? * Can you teII me|I want to beIieve * * That you want to be|with me forever? * * I need to know|that you won't ever Ieave * * And you won't run away|from me never * * I've been waiting|for a Iong time * * For the one|who wouId be mine * * I think it's time * - * Everything's aII right *|-[ Doorbell rings .]
Hey.
-Hi .
|-Hi .
Oh , Sydney, this is Jenny.
She works with me.
-Hi .
|-Hi .
Thanks for letting me|crash your party.
l would have totally|brought some wine, but l got carded .
So, cider.
-Cider's perfect.
Thank you .
|-Okay.
Come in .
Wow.
You look great.
ls that the sweater|l got you for Christmas? Yeah .
That's not why l wore it.
l'm going to go|put that on ice.
Okay.
She's cute.
Hmm? Yeah .
|lt's the new intern .
Her parents are in Europe,|so, you know, l felt bad .
-That's Jenny.
|-Mm-hmm .
lt's strictly professional .
Really? What are you saying? Oh , nothing .
Happy Thanksgiving .
Cheers, guys.
* I think it's time|I think * * Everything's aII right * * The way|that you beIieve in me * * And it takes me|through the night * * I faII beside you|softIy singing * Are your parents really away? Jenny? Somebody's always|got to bang the glass.
This year, it's me.
l wanted all of you to be here|for what l'm about to do, which is probably going to be one of the most|embarrassing moments ever.
But this thing is burning|a hole in my pocket.
Francie.
.
.
You're my last stop, baby.
Will you marry me? Yes.
Yes, Charlie, l will .
Okay, watch the tongue.
You're something else.
Glad you're taking it slow.
[ Knock on door .]
Dad .
This was on your lawn .
lt's my neighbor's.
l'll give it to him .
Oh .
Do you want to come -- Shepard killed Danny.
|l'm assuming you know that.
lf l hadn't, thank you for breaking it|to me so gently.
l'm telling you because|l don't want you to think it's my mission in life|to keep things from you .
Then why do you? FBl report signed by the|deputy director under Carter, clearing me of having|any involvement with the KGB.
Sydney, you have to understand it was the height|of the Cold War.
After they caught|Boyce and Lee in '7 7, everybody was under suspicion .
So l suppose in a way.
.
.
.
.
.
your mother's accident|was my fault, since the FBl was after me.
lf l could give her back|to you , l would .
Take it.
l don't need to.
You should stay.
Work.
l'm glad your trip went well .
Happy Thanksgiving .
You too.
We found Parkishoff's body|and ran a DNA sample through the genetic decoder|you obtained last week.
lt decoded the FTL communiqué.
Here's the full text.
''Possible location|of Rambaldi artifact discovered in Tunisia.
Dig proceeding .
'' Now we know|where all those FTL agents went off to in such a hurry.
So l'm off to Tunisia.
Actually, no.
We sent an advance team there|on a recon mission .
By the time they got there,|the dig had been evacuated .
FTL must have found|whatever was buried there.
We then traced the shipment|out of El Kef to the Department of|Engineering Science at Oxford .
FTL has no idea|what they've uncovered , or else they wouldn't risk sending it to civilians|for analysis.
But whatever it is, some of the best minds|in the world are studying it as we speak.
The university|is holding a reception for visiting professors|tomorrow night.
You're going as a scout|for the Marissa Foundation looking for grant candidates.
Now, Sydney,|keep in mind that FTL is likely to have|a large presence there to make sure that we don't try|what we are about to try.
ln the interest of fairness,|l reread your notes last night.
No, l know.
|There wasn't much there anyway.
You just need|a lot more shoe leather if you want to go with|the story you're looking for.
You're right.
l think it's better|if we just drop the whole thing .
You've got enough|for an initial piece on why the police|are not more curious.
Take it from that angle.
|We go to press on Tuesday.
Well , wait, wait.
|l'm not -- l mean , wow.
Thank you .
Um , Tuesday, though?|ls that set? -Will , are you on dope?|-Huh? Just 2 4 hours ago, you were begging me|to publish this.
l know.
|Here's the thing .
Danny Hecht.
The murder that started|this whole thing .
He was my friend's fiancé.
l just -- After seeing her last night,|l'm having second thoughts.
She doesn't know|that l was doing this story.
Why didn't you tell her? l'd think she'd want someone|to investigate it.
l did tell her a while ago, and she asked me|as a favor to drop it.
l don't want to hurt her.
Oh , l'm genuinely sorry|to hear that, Will , because this is now|a legitimate piece, and if you don't want it,|l will give it to somebody else.
Don't chicken out on me now.
Whatever the Rambaldi artifact|turns out to be, the ClA wants photographs of it.
You'll do it in your hotel room .
We'll plant a sub-mini camera|in the Bible.
There's one more thing .
One of our Romanian assets|spotted Anna Espinosa leaving the psychiatric hospital|after you escaped .
Be careful .
She's on this.
How was your Thanksgiving? Good .
My friend got engaged .
What's her name? Francie.
How was yours? Uh , typical .
|Spent it with my mom .
What about Alice? Yeah .
We broke up.
Oh .
* Been waIking|through the streets * * And finding sweet reIief|in knowing that * * It won't be Iong * * Oh, IateIy|it's occurred to me * * That I've had enough|of that * * And IateIy I've been|satisfied by simpIe things * * Like breathing in|and breathing out * * Never again,|not in this Iife * * WiII I be * * Taken twice * * Never again, no * * Never on your Iife * * WiII I make * SLOANE : Security Section|has made us aware of the concern|that you may have a mole in your department.
lt would appear so.
* Oh, IateIy|it's occurred to me * * ExactIy what went wrong * There are some|in The Alliance who believe you may have more than one.
Well , if that's true,|McCullough will draw them out.
* Never again,|no, not in this Iife * * WiII I be * * Taken twice * * No, no, no, no * lt is our intention|to make an example of them .
l know.
l'm taking care of it.

Who the hell are you? Oh , no.
That leak.

Ah , Mr.
Bristow.

We're safe.
Are Sydney and l|switching handlers, or is this a special occasion? No.
|We have a problem .
Fisher hasn't made contact.
|l know.
We believe K-Directorate|had an agent waiting in the hospital .
SD-6 does not have|confirmation of that.
The ClA does.
We have an extraction team waiting on the ready line|out of Serbia.
l want to pull Sydney|out of there.

That's why you're here|posing as a shrink.
You're K-Directorate,|aren't you? What makes you think|l work with K-Directorate? Your accent's Georgian .
Georgia, former Soviet Union .
Their main recruiting ground .
Shepard thinks l'm a patient.
He's more likely|to trust me than you .
Except he has already|attacked you .
Which l could use to seal|his transference by bringing his guilt|to the surface and then forgiving him .
l suppose you'd like|your life in return .
lf you'll get Shepard to recall|the location of Parkishoff, you might just live out|your life in a Chechnyan internment camp.
You have until lockdown tonight.
[ Door slams .]
Stay away from me.
l'm here to help you .
l don't want your help.
l'm not open to your help.
l think l know|what's happening to you .
l'm sure you do,|because you're one of them .
You know the words that|are going on in my head .
l know l've seen you|somewhere before.
No, you haven't.
l thought l was safe here.
|l thought l was safe here.
What l'm about to say|to you is the truth , so you got to listen to me.
They are gonna kill us both|if we don't help each other to get out of here.
Then you've got|a real problem .
.
.
.
.
.
because l'm not leaving here.
l would rather die.
.
.
.
.
.
than leave the way l am now.
Do you have the chart|Dr.
Kreshnik asked for? Yellow sky.
lnteresting choice.
l told you ,|you stay away from me.
l know that you're starting|to remember some things.
l know you think that l had|something to do with them , but l didn't.
Piss off.
You can't see colors, can you? Who are you? lf you're not one of the people|that did this to me, then how do you know that? l'll tell you|what you need to know, but first you have to help me.
l was sent here to get|some information from you , but l don't even care|about that anymore.
All l care about|is that the main exit door has a dual-key lock.
That means it takes two people using two keys at the same time|to open the door.
l told you ,|l'm not leaving here.
No, please believe me.
There are people who want to|find out what's in your head .
When they don't,|they will kill us both .
You want me to believe you ,|but you don't tell me anything .
l know l've seen you somewhere.
Okay, okay.
Look.
.
.
.
.
.
you were trained .
You were programmed|to follow orders.
Whose orders? Whose orders? To do what? To do.
.
.
To kill .
No.
No.
The things you're remembering .
|They're real .
l know it's hard to hear.
Accept that you did|these things.
l'd rather be crazy.
When you're following orders, you're trained to see|everything in black and white to keep you detached|from what you have to do.
You're not supposed to remember|anything , but you are.
Your training must be|short-circuiting .
What you did ,|it's so painful to remember that you're seeing in black|and white all the time.
lt's a defense mechanism ,|but it's good .
You're starting to heal ,|to get better and better.
Stop it, please! Guard ! Take me to my room .
Take him .
Lockdown .
Tell Dr.
Kreshnik l have|the information he needs.
A memo from legal|about reporters quoting other reporters.
What's it say? ''Cut it out.
'' Happy Thanksgiving .
Thanks, Jenny.
Davis, can you|scroll back down for a second? Did you get the memo? Can you just show me|the damn picture? All right.
Jeez.
Her name was Eloise Kurtz.
Local girl .
Found shot to death|in Echo Park.
Did you know her? WlLL: She said her name|was Kate Jones, but it was really|Eloise Kurtz.
She was my source in|the Danny Hecht investigation .
She was involved somehow, she|was trying to tell me something , and now she's dead .
l am not saying|there is nothing here.
You wouldn't publish this even though l was investigating|one murder and now two? The fastest way|to be discredited is to author a conspiracy theory|without background .
Believe me, l have seen this.
You might as well publish|your own home page.
Will you at least|take a look at my notes? Leave them on my desk|when you go.
l'm not telling you|to drop this.
l'm not being a monster.
l'm telling you|to bring it back to me when it's more developed .
[ Heartbeat pounding .]
[ lndistinct voices .]
[ Gunshot .]
[ Glass breaking .]
[ Rapid gunshots .]
Oh , my God .
We are coming to you now,|Doctor.
What is that tattoo on your arm? Spitznas special forces? l almost got a tattoo once.
l was on the guy's chair.
.
.
[ Door closes .]
Aah ! Take her.
Hurts, doesn't it? You were right.
l don't want to die in here.
How did you get out|of your room? Oh , l was quite good , actually.
l pretended|to swallow my tongue, and lifted the keys.
Hey.
Look at me.
You can do this.
You think l'd help you get out|if l thought you'd kill someone? Unless you're planning|on killing me.
Why would l do that? [ Alarm blaring .]
[ Tires screech .]
Sorry.
Get in ! Seat belt.
[ ''The Wait''|playing on headphones .]
* I said the wait chiId,|bruised-baII chiId * * Pride-sIapped chiId hurts * Whoa.
Hey.
Company.
Uh , here,|totally a mess in here.
l'm sorry, let me just -- l wasn't really|expecting anyone.
You want to have a seat? l got a minor form of scoliosis, so the air|ergonomically hugs me.
Oh , you want to stretch out? l can inflate the couch .
l'll stand .
Oh , by the way, l scanned every byte|of that computer network.
No more virus.
|That leak is plugged .
Even better news,|since it was exporting files at such a low bandwidth .
The virus was|a Security Section drill .
Um .
.
.
a drill? Like a test? You were the only one|who caught it, and faster|than anyone anticipated .
So good work.
That leak was transmitted over|an unsecure net connection .
lsn't that a little risky? Security Section was|surveilling it the whole time.
l just wanted to let you know.
Okay.
Thanks.
[ Cellular phone rings .]
-Yes?|-Dad? Where's Vaughn? l had his number forwarded .
Are you all right? l'm at the safe house.
Any trouble finding it? Only took six hours of driving through the forest|in the dark.
ls Shepard with you? Yes.
Get to Rinas Airport in Tirana.
There's a charter flight|waiting for you under Kraja Petrol Corp.
The hardest part's over, Sydney.
We'll talk when you get back.
[ Sighs .]
Why me? Why did you|ever come talk to me? l was looking for a man .
Who? The man who you killed|and buried .
His name was Gareth Parkishoff.
That's what|l was sent in to find .
A man l killed .
The first time l had|the images in my head , it was like.
.
.
.
.
.
a seizure.
Flashes of people, places.
A street sign .
l thought l was remembering|bad dreams because it was|in black and white, but it was so vivid .
lt was so vivid .
l didn't know how much|of it was real .
l found the street.
l heard there had been a murder.
A shopkeeper recognized me.
l was convinced|l had to be delusional .
l couldn't be a killer.
Where you found me|was as remote a place as l could find|to lock myself away in case.
.
.
.
.
.
in case l was wrong .
lt's not your fault.
l feel like l've been stolen .
.
.
.
.
.
from myself.
l don't know|if there was ever a me.
l don't know who.
.
.
Please tell me|who you are, Sydney.
Maybe that will help me|to understand .
How did you know my name? l don't.
.
.
How did you know my name? The banner.
What banner? lt said|''Happy Birthday, Sydney.
'' l heard the water running .
[ Water running .]
l'm so sorry.
Oh ! [ Door closes .]
The man you were ordered|to kill was my fiancé.
His name was Danny.
l told Danny.
.
.
.
.
.
l'm a spy because he was|the one part of my life l couldn't stand to be a lie.
And when SD-6 found out, they called on one|of their hit men .
Someone they'd already enlisted .
They called on you .
l think the man|who programmed you is named McCullough .
He's their neuro tech .
McCullough .
Yeah .
Yeah .
He's in here.
The irony is they never lied|to me about what would happen if l told someone.
lt was the one thing they said|that turned out to be true.
Now l'm a double agent|for the ClA.
And l will be|until SD-6 is gone.
Will .
.
.
.
.
.
finding where|Parkishoff is buried .
.
.
.
.
.
help you to take down|the people that did this to us? Yes.
l left his body in marshland on the Louisiana-Texas border off the l-1 0.
So that's the deal? Shepard wrote down the location|of Parkishoff's body.
ln exchange, l helped him|escape the asylum .
l see.
Where's Shepard now? He committed suicide.
Something went wrong|with his programming .
He started remembering|what he'd done.
Snapped .
When we were crossing|over the border into Bulgaria, he jumped .
Threw himself off the bridge|into Lake Scutari .
There is no way|he could have survived .
lf by some miracle|he did survive, l'm sure we'll hear about it|sooner or later.
l told SD-6 Shepard was dead .
l was going to lie to you|about it, too, but the truth is.
.
.
l can't stand lying|to anyone else.
Well , l appreciate that.
l'll be honest with you , too.
There are people at the agency|who will want him found .
He's as much a victim|of SD-6 as l am .
Shepard buried Parkishoff's body|in a Louisiana marshland .
Sloane sent out a forensics team|to get a DNA sample.
They should be able to use it to decode the FTL message|by tonight.
We were worried .
Yeah , l know the ClA hates|to lose its assets.
No, l mean l was worried|for you .
ln fact,|l contacted your father.
Just so you know, he knows l pulled his file,|and he suspects you've seen it.
lt's okay.
[ Pager beeps .]
lt's me.
Yeah , that's what l thought.
Looks like|our SD-6 computer virus is turning out|to be a gold mine.
Good .
Maybe we can get ahead|of them for once.
Why don't you go home,|get some rest? Happy Thanksgiving .
Oh , God .
Francie? Okay, were you ever gonna|call me back? l'm sorry.
Where the hell have you been?|l left three messages.
l know.
|My trip was extended .
-You can't just disappear.
|-What's burning? lt's just a little oven fire.
l just moved in here.
l fricasseed the turkey.
You okay? l'm glad to be home.
Okay, but the turkey's|really burning .
lt's burning .
Oh , great.
Ooh .
Francie, what'd you do? * Can you teII me|I want to beIieve * * That you want to be|with me forever? * * I need to know|that you won't ever Ieave * * And you won't run away|from me never * * I've been waiting|for a Iong time * * For the one|who wouId be mine * * I think it's time * - * Everything's aII right *|-[ Doorbell rings .]
Hey.
-Hi .
|-Hi .
Oh , Sydney, this is Jenny.
She works with me.
-Hi .
|-Hi .
Thanks for letting me|crash your party.
l would have totally|brought some wine, but l got carded .
So, cider.
-Cider's perfect.
Thank you .
|-Okay.
Come in .
Wow.
You look great.
ls that the sweater|l got you for Christmas? Yeah .
That's not why l wore it.
l'm going to go|put that on ice.
Okay.
She's cute.
Hmm? Yeah .
|lt's the new intern .
Her parents are in Europe,|so, you know, l felt bad .
-That's Jenny.
|-Mm-hmm .
lt's strictly professional .
Really? What are you saying? Oh , nothing .
Happy Thanksgiving .
Cheers, guys.
* I think it's time|I think * * Everything's aII right * * The way|that you beIieve in me * * And it takes me|through the night * * I faII beside you|softIy singing * Are your parents really away? Jenny? Somebody's always|got to bang the glass.
This year, it's me.
l wanted all of you to be here|for what l'm about to do, which is probably going to be one of the most|embarrassing moments ever.
But this thing is burning|a hole in my pocket.
Francie.
.
.
You're my last stop, baby.
Will you marry me? Yes.
Yes, Charlie, l will .
Okay, watch the tongue.
You're something else.
Glad you're taking it slow.
[ Knock on door .]
Dad .
This was on your lawn .
lt's my neighbor's.
l'll give it to him .
Oh .
Do you want to come -- Shepard killed Danny.
|l'm assuming you know that.
lf l hadn't, thank you for breaking it|to me so gently.
l'm telling you because|l don't want you to think it's my mission in life|to keep things from you .
Then why do you? FBl report signed by the|deputy director under Carter, clearing me of having|any involvement with the KGB.
Sydney, you have to understand it was the height|of the Cold War.
After they caught|Boyce and Lee in '7 7, everybody was under suspicion .
So l suppose in a way.
.
.
.
.
.
your mother's accident|was my fault, since the FBl was after me.
lf l could give her back|to you , l would .
Take it.
l don't need to.
You should stay.
Work.
l'm glad your trip went well .
Happy Thanksgiving .
You too.
We found Parkishoff's body|and ran a DNA sample through the genetic decoder|you obtained last week.
lt decoded the FTL communiqué.
Here's the full text.
''Possible location|of Rambaldi artifact discovered in Tunisia.
Dig proceeding .
'' Now we know|where all those FTL agents went off to in such a hurry.
So l'm off to Tunisia.
Actually, no.
We sent an advance team there|on a recon mission .
By the time they got there,|the dig had been evacuated .
FTL must have found|whatever was buried there.
We then traced the shipment|out of El Kef to the Department of|Engineering Science at Oxford .
FTL has no idea|what they've uncovered , or else they wouldn't risk sending it to civilians|for analysis.
But whatever it is, some of the best minds|in the world are studying it as we speak.
The university|is holding a reception for visiting professors|tomorrow night.
You're going as a scout|for the Marissa Foundation looking for grant candidates.
Now, Sydney,|keep in mind that FTL is likely to have|a large presence there to make sure that we don't try|what we are about to try.
ln the interest of fairness,|l reread your notes last night.
No, l know.
|There wasn't much there anyway.
You just need|a lot more shoe leather if you want to go with|the story you're looking for.
You're right.
l think it's better|if we just drop the whole thing .
You've got enough|for an initial piece on why the police|are not more curious.
Take it from that angle.
|We go to press on Tuesday.
Well , wait, wait.
|l'm not -- l mean , wow.
Thank you .
Um , Tuesday, though?|ls that set? -Will , are you on dope?|-Huh? Just 2 4 hours ago, you were begging me|to publish this.
l know.
|Here's the thing .
Danny Hecht.
The murder that started|this whole thing .
He was my friend's fiancé.
l just -- After seeing her last night,|l'm having second thoughts.
She doesn't know|that l was doing this story.
Why didn't you tell her? l'd think she'd want someone|to investigate it.
l did tell her a while ago, and she asked me|as a favor to drop it.
l don't want to hurt her.
Oh , l'm genuinely sorry|to hear that, Will , because this is now|a legitimate piece, and if you don't want it,|l will give it to somebody else.
Don't chicken out on me now.
Whatever the Rambaldi artifact|turns out to be, the ClA wants photographs of it.
You'll do it in your hotel room .
We'll plant a sub-mini camera|in the Bible.
There's one more thing .
One of our Romanian assets|spotted Anna Espinosa leaving the psychiatric hospital|after you escaped .
Be careful .
She's on this.
How was your Thanksgiving? Good .
My friend got engaged .
What's her name? Francie.
How was yours? Uh , typical .
|Spent it with my mom .
What about Alice? Yeah .
We broke up.
Oh .
* Been waIking|through the streets * * And finding sweet reIief|in knowing that * * It won't be Iong * * Oh, IateIy|it's occurred to me * * That I've had enough|of that * * And IateIy I've been|satisfied by simpIe things * * Like breathing in|and breathing out * * Never again,|not in this Iife * * WiII I be * * Taken twice * * Never again, no * * Never on your Iife * * WiII I make * SLOANE : Security Section|has made us aware of the concern|that you may have a mole in your department.
lt would appear so.
* Oh, IateIy|it's occurred to me * * ExactIy what went wrong * There are some|in The Alliance who believe you may have more than one.
Well , if that's true,|McCullough will draw them out.
* Never again,|no, not in this Iife * * WiII I be * * Taken twice * * No, no, no, no * lt is our intention|to make an example of them .
l know.
l'm taking care of it.
