Alias s05e11 Episode Script

Maternal Instinct

What's gonna happen with my family? My orders are to deliver you to the airfield.
I have no information beyond that.
Could you find out? What's happening? Why are we stopped? It's all right.
We're on our way.
- They're here.
- I'm going.
God, they're here! Argh! Charlie Echo One.
This is Foxtrot.
We're under attack! All right! Don't shoot! I'm coming out.
Don't shoot.
Argh! Oh, God! Irina.
You've compromised our agenda, Jeffrey.
No! I didn't do anything.
This is all a mistake.
OK! I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
Tell me exactly what you said to my husband.
- Did you tell him about the Horizon? - No, of course not.
No.
You have to believe me.
I swear.
I do believe you.
Sorry to keep you waiting, Agent Bristow.
I know Langley's anxious to debrief you.
Is my baby OK? Yes.
- You're sure? - I can't imagine what you went through.
Having said that, the surgery they performed probably saved the pregnancy.
You and your child are in great health, Agent Bristow.
Thank you.
Call me Sydney.
If you're gonna deliver this baby in a few weeks, we might as well get to know each other.
- Hi.
- Hey.
- They told me you were done.
- See you next week.
- So you're OK? - Yeah, I'm fine.
Hey, can I borrow your phone? I want to - The CIA released your father.
- They did? Davenport confessed.
Apparently he cut a deal.
Your father wants to see us before you contact APO.
Where is he? Thanks.
- Hey.
- Hey.
What's up? - Want to go for a walk? - Yeah.
Rain check.
I'll find you when I'm done.
authority is not in question.
It's temporary.
- Of course, I understand that.
- Davenport and I came up together.
I'm godfather to his oldest son.
How were these people able to corrupt him? I have no idea.
Agent Tom Grace, this is Director Devlin.
He will be auditing our investigation on Prophet Five.
- You'll assist him with whatever he needs.
- Of course.
Thank you.
I'd, for starters, like to see all your sit reports and operation files.
I can get the sit reps, but we're performing diagnostic on the computer network.
The files will take longer.
It's just routine.
Who can provide me with admin privileges to your access logs? That's Rachel Gibson.
She's over there.
Thank you.
What just happened? He wants to review the computer transmissions to see if anyone provided Prophet Five with Davenport's travel route.
Right.
He thinks the leak came from this office and the phone logs will reveal who it was? Apparently so.
- You OK? - I'm fine.
OK, what's going on? Why are we meeting out here? Davenport's been killed.
His transport was ambushed.
That route was classified.
The only people who knew Were CIA.
You think Prophet Five has another mole inside the agency? It would seem so, yes.
There's more.
As a condition of my release, Devlin insists we suspend our investigation of them until Langley reviews our findings.
- We can't do that.
- I agree.
Which means as long as Devlin's in APO, we have to stop documenting our work.
Operations will be compartmentalized to senior staff only.
When I came to see you, you wanted to tell me the reason Prophet Five abducted you.
When I was on their ship, they performed some kind of regression therapy.
They wanted me to remember a cipher - Leo 47 Norte.
It was an entry on an Alliance organization chart Vaughn showed me years ago.
- Did you give them the intel? - I changed the phrase.
- That's good.
- 47 Norte It's a territorial designation - France.
"Leo" designates a specific mission.
I'll review the archives.
Someone on that mission might be alive.
I want you in Paris.
If I'm successful, you'll be in position to act quickly.
Contact Renée Rienne.
Ask her to provide Dixon with the documentation he needs.
Then I want you to pack a bag.
I'm moving you to a secure location.
- No.
- It's just temporary.
- Don't be silly.
I wanna - Help.
Yes, I know.
For now, you need to go underground.
Prophet Five abducted you.
We can't risk them doing it again.
Don't blame your dad, Syd.
He's only trying to protect you.
- Yeah.
- What? Do you remember what Dean said? That Prophet Five had plans for me.
They saved this baby for a reason.
Why? I don't know.
Maybe that's why Jack wants you in a safe house.
- I can fend for myself.
- But you're not just fending for yourself.
You're fending for two.
And let's be honest, Syd.
Right now, you waddle.
- I don't waddle.
- Oh, yes, you do.
I'll admit I may be a little less graceful, but I don't waddle.
You're right.
Actually, it's more of a teeter.
Hello, Sydney.
Mom.
You look beautiful.
I'm here now.
Everything is gonna be fine.
Mom I am so glad you're here.
Believe me, there's no one else I want to go through this with, but - It isn't safe.
- Sydney.
Mom, we're involved in an investigation.
The CIA is everywhere.
If they find out I know about Prophet Five.
I know they abducted you.
That's the reason I've come.
They've been rumored for over 30 years.
An organization so secret, most of us thought they were a myth.
Then six months ago, a contact of mine told me they'd become active again.
That, after all this time, they finally found someone who they believe could lead them to what they've been looking for.
The reason they came together, to pursue something they call the Horizon.
- You've never heard of it? - No.
Prophet Five believes you have.
They believe you know where it is.
What are you thinking? When Prophet Five abducted me, they tried to get me to reveal information about an old Alliance mission.
What was the mission? I don't know the details, just the code name.
But Dad is looking into it.
You told your father? That's good.
How's Jack? He's good.
Prophet Five killed Vaughn.
I know.
I'm so sorry.
It was an Alliance mission, designation Leo 47 Norte.
are backed up on Langley's archives.
Can you do it without being traced back to this office? So Devlin can't find out about it? Sure.
I can use a proxy to spoof the origin.
I love secret conspiracies.
You know, as long as I'm a co-conspirator.
OK, here it is.
Operation originating back in 1999, coordinated by a Jean Bertrand.
Let me see if I can find him.
In high school, we took apart a professor's car and reassembled it in his classroom.
My friends did.
I'd have helped, but they didn't trust me - said I had loose lips, - which you know is ridiculous.
- Hey, Marshall.
Nothing.
We're not doing anything.
- Yes.
- Let me know when the diagnostic is done.
You got it.
- Good to see you, Tom.
- That is unexpected.
- I'll be there shortly.
- Was that Syd? Your voice modulates a little when you're talking to Syd.
Everything OK? What do you have on Bertrand? Right.
Secret.
Latest intel places Bertrand in Paris.
OK, forward the intel to Dixon.
He's joining up with Renée.
Use Tech three.
I don't want it going through APO servers.
Got it.
Is she still here? Jack.
You look well.
I got your messages.
I wanted to reply.
But I sensed it might be a CIA trap.
Look at us, about to become grandparents.
I'm doing my best to ignore that.
Did Sydney tell you? I fear for her safety.
Yes, she did.
Did Dixon find out anything? Not yet, but he's with a source now.
Thanks.
No, I'll take it from here.
Dixon.
He couldn't confirm what the Horizon is.
But we know it's in a safe deposit box in Vancouver at Queens Bank.
We need to act fast.
Prophet Five will have figured out I gave the wrong information.
Yeah, that's a safe assumption.
We can't use APO.
Devlin's men are everywhere.
If you're being watched, I can go.
I have contacts in Vancouver.
We'll go together.
Retrieve the Horizon ourselves.
Can you make the travel arrangements? Make 'em for three.
I'm going too.
I know you're worried about my safety.
It's a three-hour flight.
A bank.
We'll be in and out.
- Sydney - Listen.
The Horizon is why Prophet Five killed Vaughn.
It's why they kidnapped me.
If we can get it before they do, we can finish this thing.
For good.
Make the arrangements.
Peyton.
We just got a message from Irina Derevko.
The Horizon is in Vancouver.
She's on her way to retrieve it.
Assemble a team.
We're going too.
- Do you question Derevko's loyalty? - No, I don't.
But I'm not willing to take the chance I'm wrong.
Not when we're this close.
Mr.
And Mrs.
Visconti.
My apologies, but the bank is closing.
Perhaps we can find another time to endow your grandchild's trust fund? - My daughter's never late.
- It's that clown she married! Of course, darling, it's never our angel's fault.
Papa, Mama.
Sorry I'm late.
Sorry, sorry.
- Where's Roberto? - He's not coming.
He says he doesn't want your money, Papa.
It is his job to provide for our baby.
How does he expect to provide for my grandchild? He's a clown! - He is an artist.
- Brigitte.
We agreed that the trust fund would be a safety net, in case things don't work out.
- But they will.
We love each other.
- Of course.
The two of you will be as happy as your father and I have been.
Let us do this for you.
Let us help.
OK.
For the baby.
Signor, we would be grateful if you could assist us with the deposit now.
I'm sorry, but it's too late.
Here is a cashier's check.
Drawn on the trust account.
That is a very generous amount.
He said no, my darling.
Bank Lissand is open till six.
- Maybe if we hurry, we can - That won't be necessary.
It would be a privilege to help you plan for your family's future.
I have a daughter too.
Then you'll know that it's a parent's job to take care of their children.
Mama.
- Hey.
- Hi.
- Is now a good time for that rain check? - Yeah, sure.
What's up? I know about Allen Korman.
I know that you broke into WITSEC to find him.
That he killed your wife.
Please promise me that you're not going to do anything stupid.
That you're not going after him.
I already did.
I saw him last night.
I followed him to a parking garage.
I watched him get out of his car.
And then there he was.
I was ten feet away from the man that killed my wife.
Then I watched his wife get out of the car and their little son and I watched his life and I just walked away.
I mean, killing him is not gonna bring back my wife.
No.
It won't.
I should've told you about her.
I guess we just get so comfortable keeping secrets around here.
Yeah.
- And congratulations.
- Thank you.
- If Roberto finds out, he'll be very angry.
- Then it'll be our family secret.
We'll find a place to keep the trust documents safe.
Perhaps Signor Moreau can help us.
Do you have a safety deposit we can use? Of course! - Everything all right, my dear? - Yes.
Your grandchild keeps kicking me.
You've had a very busy day.
Would you mind if our daughter waited here? Not at all.
If you'll follow me.
It's sweet your daughter wants to please you.
- She's our pride and joy.
- I'm sure she'll be a wonderful parent.
- Thank you.
- She has two such lovely role models.
Excuse me.
Hello.
- Hey, Tom, I need your help.
- Hey, Dad.
What's going on? - Back door into a secure database.
- These are the files right here.
Yeah, I know.
Computers are tricky, you're right.
I'm gonna put you on with our tech support.
Her name's Rachel.
She'll be able to help you out.
Hold on.
Hey, my dad's on the phone.
He kind of needs your help? We've taken great pains to ensure the security of this facility.
In fact, we pride ourselves on being too careful with our clients' assets.
That's good to hear.
It looks like 512-bit encryption.
I can open a port if you need to run a program.
Uh, no, that's OK.
I think I got it.
What about emergency response if an alarm is tripped? - How long before the authorities respond? - We have round-the-clock security.
Our drills place it at four minutes, but to be honest, it's never been activated.
Then let's keep it that way.
Syd, we've got it.
What's the box number? - Hang on, Dad.
Rachel? - OK, try this.
8438220.
You have to show me how you do that.
A magician never reveals her secrets.
Be safe.
Thanks.
OK, Dad.
Box 135.
- I can't open it.
- Why? Countermeasure.
Looks like it's acid-based.
- Disable it.
- Not without the combination.
It'll destroy the contents.
We'll have to take it back to Marshall.
He'll be able Peyton's here.
Talk.
Fast.
They're here as backup.
You're working with them, aren't you? Answer me! That was you.
On the ship.
Wasn't it? Behind the glass.
You orchestrated the whole thing because you wanted this.
And when when you couldn't torture it out of me, you came to me as my mother.
I am your mother.
- Call off your team right now.
- They're not my team.
- I don't believe you.
- Dad? You need to believe me.
'Cause if Peyton's here, she's here to kill me too.
She'll be disappointed, because I'll beat her to it.
- Hey, Dad? - I thought I killed you once.
- This time I'll be more thorough.
- Dad! Baby's coming.
We have a problem.
Devlin's men are accessing our server logs.
They believe there's a mole within APO leaking information to Prophet Five.
- You think they're right? - No.
No, I don't.
However, Sydney and Jack are in the field without clearance.
- I've been assisting them.
- So have I.
Yes.
I know.
I've already tried purging the logs myself, but the files are read-only.
I can do it.
I can crack the logs and delete the entries.
Make it untraceable.
- But it will take a little time.
- Well, then, get to it right now.
You should sit.
Look, we need to get out of here.
- What's their approach? - What? Their plan.
How are they going to attack us? I don't know.
I already told you, this wasn't part of my operation.
You want to escape? Give me the Horizon.
- I'll tell them you left the building.
- That isn't going to happen.
Jack, don't be stubborn.
The baby is coming.
I'm trying to help.
Giving you a way out.
OK, I'm in.
We've got control of their system.
- Can you see them? - The bank has its own security feed.
If they enter the stairwells, I'll see them.
Lock down the building.
We're going up.
How were you gonna do it? Once you took the Horizon, what was your extraction? Look, they're coming.
How were you going to get away from us? - There's a helicopter waiting for my signal.
- Does Prophet Five know about it? No.
Elevators are grounded.
It's four flights to the roof.
- I can make it.
- Move! - Peyton, I've got a visual.
- Go ahead.
They've entered the main stairwell, But they're not coming down.
They're heading up.
The helipad.
Redirect those cameras to exterior surveillance.
I'll keep going.
I'm six floors behind.
What's the signal for the helicopter? A beacon.
It's in my bra.
Keep moving.
We're almost there.
Chopper.
Approaching from the northwest.
Damn.
Out here.
Quickly.
- There has to be a freight elevator.
- Sydney.
If we hotwire a junction box, we might be able to restore power to one of the cars.
They'll still be waiting as soon as we override the elevator.
- We have to try.
- We need to set up a defensive position.
I'm not interested in your opinion.
She's right.
Even if we outflanked them down the stairwell, you wouldn't make it.
Here.
Cover your mother.
I'll go down and take care of Peyton and her men.
I'll be right back.
Whatever happens, keep that pointed at your mother.
If she even blinks I'll shoot her.
OK, I'm in.
Logs are online.
- Have they found anything? - They're working on the logs.
I'm gonna start with the comm entries.
Here we go.
This is Sydney's communication from Vancouver.
And Paris.
This is Dixon's PBX communication.
- I think that's it.
Nothing else - No, there's one more.
I had to post satellite imagery for the building in Vancouver.
Delete that.
Time stamp should be somewhere between midnight and 2am.
There.
- Tindle isn't your login name.
- No.
My network account timed out.
I had to create a temporary one.
- I can't do it.
- What? They're on the same page of entries.
That's them now.
If we delete this, they'll see it.
- Devlin.
- It's me.
It seems you don't have the latest logs.
What's the time stamp on your last entry? Scroll to the end of the list.
OK.
It matches up.
Sorry about the interruption.
Good work.
"The truth takes time.
" That's what you said.
Years ago.
Is this what you meant? You like it to be simple.
It's never simple.
Did you put out the order to kill Vaughn? I'd known about his investigation for a long time.
In Sovogda I tried to warn him.
He didn't take my advice.
I fell for you.
Even Dad fell for you.
But Vaughn never trusted you.
This is Alpha team.
We're on 16.
- We have a possible target.
- Copy that.
Alpha team, report.
Alpha team, do you copy? - Barker, where are you? - Just swept 17, moving on to 18.
Roger.
Finish up there and report in.
- Exhale through your mouth.
- No! - I'm only offering advice.
- Don't! I know why you saved my pregnancy.
You want my baby, and I don't know why.
Frankly, I don't care.
I just want you to leave us alone.
You should know something, Sydney.
I never wanted to have a child.
The KGB demanded it.
They knew it would ensure your father's allegiance to me.
You were simply a means to an end.
And then when the doctor put you in my arms and I looked at you So fragile.
All I could think was, "How could I have made such a terrible mistake?" And at that moment I was sure of one thing.
I couldn't be an agent and a mother.
I'd either fail at one or both.
And I chose to fail at being a mother.
Give me the gun.
Syd, they're coming.
In time, you'll learn.
You can't do both.
Watch me.
The only reason I saved the baby is because you're my daughter.
Now do exactly as I tell you.
Get in that chair.
This really is no place for you, Grandpa.
By the way, where's Sydney registered? I'd love to get her a gift for the baby.
- Sydney, don't push.
- God, Mom, I have to.
No, no, no.
No! Listen to me.
Don't push.
I know you want to, but you can't.
Sydney, listen to me.
The baby is coming out backwards.
- W-what does that mean? - What is it? Her muscles are locked.
She needs to relax.
The baby needs oxygen.
- If it doesn't come out right now - Sydney, squeeze my hand.
This is important.
As hard as you can.
- Dad.
- Just keep breathing.
- Dad.
- OK, good.
In and out.
OK, now, again.
Look at me.
- You can do this.
- I can't, Dad.
I can't.
Sydney.
Yes, you can.
I don't want to do this here.
- That's OK.
Tell me where you want to be.
- I'm scared.
I know.
That's why we're here.
We'll take care of you.
Tell me where you want to be.
- I want to be on a beach.
- That's good.
OK.
Just go there.
Now tell me about it.
- Vaughn is with me.
- Vaughn is there with you on the beach.
Good.
Vaughn is with you.
- I miss him.
- I know.
I know you do, sweetheart.
It's OK.
You're gonna be OK.
OK, now, Sydney.
Push.
Sydney, you can do this.
OK.
Now, again.
Push.
Sydney, as hard as you can! Good! Sydney.
You have a baby girl.
- She took the satchel.
- I know.
We'll find her.
Sweetheart.
She's so beautiful.
- Flinkman.
- Listen to me very carefully.
Jack and Sydney are in Vancouver.
Queens Bank.
They need extraction.
OK uh Is this who I think it is? Tell the team they'll need diapers.
OK.
I just spoke to Dixon.
He's in contact with Europol and the SVR.
So far, nothing.
We'll find her, Sydney.
Would you like to hold your granddaughter? Yes, I would.
She has Vaughn's eyes.
Yes, she does.
Dad.
I'll take care of it.
Bad robot!
