Show: Alias - 2x17
Luri Karpachev.
He was a high-level arms dealer with links to the Mafia.
Your ex-wife...
I'd appreciate it if you'd refer to Irina Derevko by name.
Derevko listed him among former contacts when she was debriefed.
I've heard the name.
Sloane had dealings with him at SD-6.
I'll talk to Irina.
See what she knows.
Sorry about that.
Don't be silly.
After you turned yourself in, you listed Luri Karpachev as one of your former contacts.
He was murdered yesterday, we believe by Sloane.
Karpachev's body was found without his wallet.
Presumably Sloane has more insidious ways to pass time than picking someone's pocket.
What might he have been looking for?
Why haven't you tried to convince Sydney to leave the CIA?
You and I know better than anyone.
She should leave this life while she has the chance.
Sydney can be stubborn.
Where she got that from is anyone's guess.
But she refuses to resign as long as Sloane is free.
Which brings me back to my question.
What was in Karpachev's wallet?
A key card to his home safe.
In '93...
Karpachev came into possession of a Rambaldi manuscript.
Sloane must believe he kept it in his safe.
But he's incorrect.
Karpachev sold it.
To whom?
Ilya Stuka.
A former contact of mine living in Bangkok.
What is this manuscript?
Rambaldi's study of the human heart.
As you know, immortality was one of Rambaldi's obsessions.
Where does Stuka keep it?
I don't know.
But I could find out if I were allowed to meet with him.
Kendall won't risk letting you, despite your cooperation.
What if the prize were worth it?
Sloane doesn't know that you're in CIA custody.
He thinks I'm in hiding.
If Sloane believes you've surfaced, obtained the manuscript he's after, he'll want to meet with you and negotiate.
I'd be happy to.
We could grab him.
And give Sydney her reason to get out.
The key is balance, right?
So don't worry so much about the puck.
Just make sure your feet are planted on the ice.
Just a nice follow-through.
Show-off.
Yeah, a little bit.
Bristow's got the puck.
She crosses the blue line!
She shoots, she scores!
What?
Oh, my God!
What was that?
I didn't say I was completely incompetent.
You've done this before.
No.
I haven't skated since I was 5.
Swear to God.
My mother took me.
Well, you're better than you should be.
Sooner or later, we have to have a conversation about my mother.
There's nothing to say.
We both know what happened.
What is there to say?
I think a lot.
Nothing I want to talk about.
I'm sorry.
Don't be sorry.
Don't ever be sorry for her.
I have to go in.
Of course you do.
It's your day off.
All right.
I'll see you later.
My name is Sydney Bristow.
You asked for me.
Have a seat.
First, I'm gonna need your thumbprint here and here, please.
These are confidentiality agreements.
They forbid you from disclosing anything we talk about today.
If you do so, it's a felony.
Thank you.
Are you familiar with the name Vladimir Pograski?
No, I'm not.
Ever see this man?
No.
Last month you were in France with Agent Michael Vaughn.
Do you recall seeing him use the pay phone?
No.
Did you see Mr.
Vaughn purchase cigarettes?
Mr.
Vaughn doesn't smoke.
I understand.
No, I didn't see him buy cigarettes.
Are you and Mr.
Vaughn intimately involved?
That's none of your business.
Yeah, I know.
It's an awkward question.
What is this about?
I'd appreciate a little context.
You haven't given me your name.
I'm Mitchell Yeager.
Counterintelligence threat analyst.
That should give you a little context.
I've been sent here to investigate Michael Vaughn.
It's come to our attention that over the past three months, Mr.
Vaughn has been in contact with a number of unapproved foreign operatives.
He's also actively pursuing contact with Mr.
Pograski, who happens to be a former KGB assassin known to have ties with at least three terrorist organizations.
There absolutely is a reason for this.
I'm sure that's right.
This is crazy.
What are you saying?
That Agent Vaughn is working for someone else?
Mr.
Vaughn doesn't know an investigation is taking place.
And I will remind you that speaking to him about this is not only a criminal act, but will force us to consider you as a suspect as well.
So I'll ask you again.
Are you and Mr.
Vaughn intimate?
You suggest that we allow Irina Derevko, a terrorist, to make contact with Sloane?
Sloane is searching for another manuscript.
Irina believes it's in the possession of an associate in Bangkok.
I'll serve as her escort.
We'll recover the manuscript and use it to bait Sloane.
I doubt I'll be able to convince Washington.
Our intel would have to be convincingly precise.
All we know about this manuscript comes only from Derevko.
We may never have a better chance to get Sloane.
Without Irina, Kashmir would have been an embarrassment.
Jack, when the hell did we switch places?
Derevko could be using those operations to convince us she's trustworthy.
I've had 20 years to reflect on that woman's ability to deceive.
Trust me.
If she lies to me again, I'll know it.
Stuka works out of a nightclub in Bangkok.
Why?
Did Kendall approve the op?
Yes.
We have a jet standing by.
Oh, this is Marshall Flinkman.
He worked with us at SD-6.
How you doing?
You're Sydney's mom.
That's cool.
'Cause your daughter...
Awesome, by the way.
Kendall insists you be injected with a tracking device.
I'll have a receiver that will allow me to follow on-site.
You won't know it's there unless we put it somewhere where you might sit on it.
Then you'll have, like, a "Princess and the Pea" moment.
Do you know that?
Put it behind her shoulder.
It might hurt a little bit.
'Cause it's small, but it's not really that small.
You're tough.
Has Mr.
Vaughn made any large purchases recently?
Not that I'm aware of.
Has he changed his cellphone in the past six months?
I've answered that.
No.
Why are you asking the same question?
We traced four cellphones to Mr.
Vaughn since October.
I was hoping that you would have noticed that.
I didn't.
Do you have private access to his laptop computer?
Excuse me?
While he's sleeping or in the shower or out of the house.
We don't live together.
I understand that.
What are you asking me?
There's a decryption program called X enon.
And we have reason to believe that Mr.
Vaughn has downloaded this program to his personal laptop computer.
And if he has, he has broken the law.
That's insane.
Well, maybe it is.
Then we need confirmation either way.
You want me to check Vaughn's computer.
We simply want you to make a little disk image.
We want you to make a copy of his hard drive and bring it back.
Listen to me.
There's not a chance that he is a traitor, that he would be collaborating with an enemy.
You know, I knew your mother about 20 years ago.
Met her with your father.
We used to go to a lot of these agency functions.
She was a charming, very disarming woman...
...who wasn't what she seemed.
It is a mistake, Mr.
Yeager, to confuse Michael Vaughn with anything regarding my mother.
She killed his father.
I will not spy on Michael Vaughn.
Miss Bristow, what is your priority?
National security...
or your new boyfriend?
Weiss, have you seen Vaughn?
That's all I am to you.
A conduit to Vaughn.
Have you ever seen Vaughn and said, "Where's Weiss?"
I'm just looking for him.
I just got called to briefing.
You know what this is about?
No.
All right.
See you.
See you.
Let her go.
Play with me instead.
Stop it.
Why not?
You know me.
I love games.
Drop the gun!
Do it!
You bought a manuscript.
I don't have it anymore.
Where is it?
In Hong Kong.
I traded it for opium rights.
To who?
To Chang.
Once we get the manuscript, how do you intend to let Sloane know?
Word will get back to him that I was in Bangkok.
I did not see that fourth man.
If you hadn't fired...
I remember the first time you introduced me to Sloane.
You were both working at the CIA.
He came to the house for dinner.
You were true friends.
Yes.
We shared a similar unsentimental patriotism.
And a devotion to our wives.
But Sloane changed, and it was Rambaldi that did it.
I'm not sure what it is, but...
Sloane has a personal connection to Rambaldi.
I lived for years with the same obsession.
To find a higher meaning in Rambaldi's work.
I never understood how you managed to avoid getting caught up in it.
I had something neither of you did.
Sydney.
I never thanked you for everything that...
For raising our daughter.
We land in four hours.
Get some rest.
Did you hear about your mother?
The operation?
Yeah, with my dad.
How'd you find out?
My dad told me.
What was it?
Courtesy?
He just told me.
Isn't that weird that they wouldn't involve us at all?
I mean, the decision to reintroduce Irina Derevko, and we're not consulted.
We can't be a part of every operation.
This one we should have been.
I wouldn't read into it.
You mind if I use your shower?
You don't have to ask.
You can't tell anybody.
Swear to me.
I swear.
Sydney.
This is gonna sound insane.
But she works for the CIA.
Come on.
Seriously.
Fran, think about it.
What bank sends their employees on that many trips?
It's a cover job.
It's not even a good cover job.
Those trips, they're top-secret CIA missions.
Come on, Will.
I have seen her in action.
She is like Schwarzenegger.
She's like the old Schwarzenegger.
So what does that mean?
I mean, are you CIA, too?
No.
No, I'm an analyst.
Really?
Hi.
Morning.
Where is everybody?
Sydney just went to work.
Francie left about 20 minutes ago.
You okay?
No.
Actually, I'm not.
I had this dream that I told Francie everything I knew about the agency.
What do they have you working on?
I'm analyzing drug trafficking through the Panama Canal.
I'm reading cume data then downloading information off the KH-11 satellite.
Exciting, right?
Yeah, I guess.
Why?
'Cause it's common to dream, have anxiety over keeping it secret.
Really?
Goes away.
The excitement?
No.
The dreams.
You must allow us entry.
Our mandate to search has been approved by Beijing.
Noncompliance is a breach of your agreements.
I'm sorry for the delay.
Only this morning did we learn an inspection team was coming.
We're investigating reports that precursor chemicals have been stored in official buildings.
You are suggesting...
That will be for inspectors to decide.
We are only here to conduct the interviews.
Let's go.
Did you speak to Will?
He was a little freaked out this morning.
What was that?
Oh, just work stuff.
Come here.
Are you keeping secrets from me?
What?
Answer the question.
I'm sure I am.
We just started dating.
Of course there are things I don't feel...
I'm not talking about us.
What?
Work?
Yeah, there are things I'm not authorized to talk about.
And that's it?
Look, there is something.
I don't like it when people question my loyalty.
This isn't about loyalty.
I never said anything about loyalty.
When you ask me if I'm keeping secrets, the suggestion's clear.
And you know what?
Secrets will be a problem between us.
After everything we've been through, you should know that.
This is the key to my apartment.
I was gonna give it to you tonight at dinner.
Obviously an inappropriate move.
Vaughn.
Barnett's waiting for me.
You made the right decision.
That disk is blank.
I didn't make a copy of Agent Vaughn's hard drive.
The fact that I doubted Vaughn's motives makes me sick.
You should be aware that by choosing not to assist, you are implicating yourself in Agent Vaughn's activities.
Don't threaten me.
You could be prosecuted as an accessory.
I understand.
Understand that there are consequences.
There are consequences.
That's my point.
Ask yourself.
Would you betray someone you love?
Well, I guess we have an answer to the intimacy question.
Mr.
Sloane.
Yes.
It seems Irina Derevko was seen last night in Bangkok.
Where?
At a club with Ilya Stuka.
Sark made contact.
He took the bait?
He wants to discuss the purchase of the manuscript.
Can we trace his message?
It was sent through remailers.
I'm going to set up the meeting in Panama.
Jack, you make this happen, you can have my job.
No, thanks.
I'll need Delta Force.
You'll get whatever you need.
Dad says you're going to Panama.
Do you think there's a chance you'll get Sloane?
I wanted to see you because...
It's going to be dangerous setting this trap.
I hope it goes well.
But there's no guarantee.
So whatever happens, there's something I need you to know.
Sydney, I love you.
Mom.
You don't have to say anything.
I'm pretty sure I haven't earned very much.
And that's okay.
This was just something I needed to say.
Mom, you're coming back.
I hope so.
Did you have trouble accessing the satellite images?
Was anyone suspicious?
No.
I used them in my reports.
Nobody was suspicious.
The first image you saw.
See it in your mind.
Do you see any markings?
No, I don't think so.
Wait.
There are two sets of numbers at the bottom right-hand corner.
Read them to me.
X 8471.
G Y79863.
What are they?
The orbital location of the satellite and its operational controls.
Good.
I'm gonna count back from 5.
When you wake up, you'll have no memory of this conversation.
All you'll remember is that tonight you had the best sex of your life.
5...
4...
3...
2...
1.
Based on our agreement, you and two Delta Force guards will be dropped off here.
If Sloane follows the plan, he'll drive north to meet you.
Won't he be suspicious if I don't have the manuscript?
Sloane is smart enough to know you would never bring it.
He'll expect you have it close by.
CIA will be tracking you back in Los Angeles in contact with me and a chopper waiting 10 blocks away.
When the call is made, the team will surround the vehicle and ambush Sloane.
Pretty straightforward.
I think we've got a shot.
There's one thing.
The tracker you put in my shoulder.
You want it removed.
If they discovered I've been tagged, it's over.
We both know that.
Of course, Kendall would have me court-martialed for this.
Kendall's not as smart as you are.
Got it.
You okay?
This is nothing.
We need to be up early.
Yes.
We should get to bed.
Yeah, we should.
Hey, you know the thing we can't talk about?
Well, I know a guy who works with Yeager.
He's about to file a formal charge against Vaughn.
What?
I need to talk to him.
No.
Wait.
You do that, you're breaking six different laws.
He needs to know.
His phone is probably already tapped.
Agency cars are equipped with GPS navigators.
Can you access the system?
I found his car.
Roger that.
Keep me posted.
What are you doing here?
Sydney...
I asked a question.
What's going on?
Are you following me?
You just bought something.
It's research.
Research?
What kind of research?
It's private.
Something just for me.
Who do you think you work for?
Nothing is private.
You're being investigated.
What?
When they find out I've told you, I'll be a target.
So don't lie to me.
Sydney, I am not disloyal.
Then why do they say you've been meeting with FSB officers?
An ex-KGB assassin?
They have you in Istanbul, Prague, Krakow.
Without authorization.
Vaughn, if there is some explanation for what you've been doing the past four months, I need to hear what it is.
Right now.
They're at the location.
KH-11 has them on-screen.
There's a limousine approaching.
I see it.
It's Sark.
Delta Team, stand by.
I realize the plan was for Mr.
Sloane to meet you.
But for security reasons, I'm afraid that's impossible.
If you get in, I'll take you to him.
Only you.
Why isn't she getting in?
Where's Sloane?
Close, I assure you.
Then bring him to me.
That's not an option.
Then our deal's off.
So be it.
Tell her to get in the car.
We'll track her.
It's a big car.
I believe there's room for all of us.
That wasn't the plan.
Get in.
He's letting her take guards.
How did she pull that off?
Now I understand why you were asking about secrets.
Yes, there is something I haven't told you.
It hasn't been easy accepting the idea that my job requires me to...
collaborate with my father's killer.
The fact that she happens to be your mother didn't make it easier.
So I've been investigating her on my own for the past six months.
I couldn't wait for the red tape, so I contacted everyone I could.
Anyone who knew her, who ran in the same circles.
I retraced sat phone records that were logged while your mother was with you in India, Kashmir.
Tracked conversations between former lieutenants to see if she signaled when Kendall gave her access to Echelon.
You wanted us to work with her.
I believed your father about her secret agenda.
I wanted to see what she was going to do.
I did all of this on my own.
I paid for this myself.
I had freelance agents retrace every step of every hour she's taken outside operations since her surrender.
I surveilled guards assigned to her cellblock, the kitchen staff.
They told me you downloaded X enon.
I downloaded that program to read KGB files.
I had to find out if she was deceiving us.
I could not sleep at night knowing I was doing nothing.
We are visually tracking a moving target.
Stand by for go code.
We've lost downlink.
What?
Get back on-line.
Sir, someone's hacked the signal.
Are the codes good?
Yes.
Thank you.
Jack, we're blind.
Follow her from your end.
Activate the tracking device.
I can't.
Send in the team.
Delta Team, go.
Repeat, Delta Team, go.
We've got them in sight.
We're tracking.
Stay with that car.
Lost visual.
Got them again.
We're going to head them off.
We got them stopped.
Stand by.
Check the Rambaldi manuscript.
Get me the Rambaldi manuscript now.
Step out of the car, please.
And did you find anything?
Nothing.
She's clean.
Do you have the book?
It's coming.
It's coming.
It's good to see you again, Irina.
Thank you for extracting me.
Jack, it's gone.
He was a high-level arms dealer with links to the Mafia.
Your ex-wife...
I'd appreciate it if you'd refer to Irina Derevko by name.
Derevko listed him among former contacts when she was debriefed.

We can't be a part of every operation.
This one we should have been.
I wouldn't read into it.
You mind if I use your shower?
You don't have to ask.
You can't tell anybody.
Swear to me.
I swear.
Sydney.
This is gonna sound insane.
But she works for the CIA.
Come on.
Seriously.
Fran, think about it.
What bank sends their employees on that many trips?
It's a cover job.
It's not even a good cover job.
Those trips, they're top-secret CIA missions.
Come on, Will.
I have seen her in action.
She is like Schwarzenegger.
She's like the old Schwarzenegger.
So what does that mean?
I mean, are you CIA, too?
No.
No, I'm an analyst.
Really?
Hi.
Morning.
Where is everybody?
Sydney just went to work.
Francie left about 20 minutes ago.
You okay?
No.
Actually, I'm not.
I had this dream that I told Francie everything I knew about the agency.
What do they have you working on?
I'm analyzing drug trafficking through the Panama Canal.
I'm reading cume data then downloading information off the KH-11 satellite.
Exciting, right?
Yeah, I guess.
Why?
'Cause it's common to dream, have anxiety over keeping it secret.
Really?
Goes away.
The excitement?
No.
The dreams.
You must allow us entry.
Our mandate to search has been approved by Beijing.
Noncompliance is a breach of your agreements.
I'm sorry for the delay.
Only this morning did we learn an inspection team was coming.
We're investigating reports that precursor chemicals have been stored in official buildings.
You are suggesting...
That will be for inspectors to decide.
We are only here to conduct the interviews.
Let's go.
Did you speak to Will?
He was a little freaked out this morning.
What was that?
Oh, just work stuff.
Come here.
Are you keeping secrets from me?
What?
Answer the question.
I'm sure I am.
We just started dating.
Of course there are things I don't feel...
I'm not talking about us.
What?
Work?
Yeah, there are things I'm not authorized to talk about.
And that's it?
Look, there is something.
I don't like it when people question my loyalty.
This isn't about loyalty.
I never said anything about loyalty.
When you ask me if I'm keeping secrets, the suggestion's clear.
And you know what?
Secrets will be a problem between us.
After everything we've been through, you should know that.
This is the key to my apartment.
I was gonna give it to you tonight at dinner.
Obviously an inappropriate move.
Vaughn.
Barnett's waiting for me.
You made the right decision.
That disk is blank.
I didn't make a copy of Agent Vaughn's hard drive.
The fact that I doubted Vaughn's motives makes me sick.
You should be aware that by choosing not to assist, you are implicating yourself in Agent Vaughn's activities.
Don't threaten me.
You could be prosecuted as an accessory.
I understand.
Understand that there are consequences.
There are consequences.
That's my point.
Ask yourself.
Would you betray someone you love?
Well, I guess we have an answer to the intimacy question.
Mr.
Sloane.
Yes.
It seems Irina Derevko was seen last night in Bangkok.
Where?
At a club with Ilya Stuka.
Sark made contact.
He took the bait?
He wants to discuss the purchase of the manuscript.
Can we trace his message?
It was sent through remailers.
I'm going to set up the meeting in Panama.
Jack, you make this happen, you can have my job.
No, thanks.
I'll need Delta Force.
You'll get whatever you need.
Dad says you're going to Panama.
Do you think there's a chance you'll get Sloane?
I wanted to see you because...
It's going to be dangerous setting this trap.
I hope it goes well.
But there's no guarantee.
So whatever happens, there's something I need you to know.
Sydney, I love you.
Mom.
You don't have to say anything.
I'm pretty sure I haven't earned very much.
And that's okay.
This was just something I needed to say.
Mom, you're coming back.
I hope so.
Did you have trouble accessing the satellite images?
Was anyone suspicious?
No.
I used them in my reports.
Nobody was suspicious.
The first image you saw.
See it in your mind.
Do you see any markings?
No, I don't think so.
Wait.
There are two sets of numbers at the bottom right-hand corner.
Read them to me.
X 8471.
G Y79863.
What are they?
The orbital location of the satellite and its operational controls.
Good.
I'm gonna count back from 5.
When you wake up, you'll have no memory of this conversation.
All you'll remember is that tonight you had the best sex of your life.
5...
4...
3...
2...
1.
Based on our agreement, you and two Delta Force guards will be dropped off here.
If Sloane follows the plan, he'll drive north to meet you.
Won't he be suspicious if I don't have the manuscript?
Sloane is smart enough to know you would never bring it.
He'll expect you have it close by.
CIA will be tracking you back in Los Angeles in contact with me and a chopper waiting 10 blocks away.
When the call is made, the team will surround the vehicle and ambush Sloane.
Pretty straightforward.
I think we've got a shot.
There's one thing.
The tracker you put in my shoulder.
You want it removed.
If they discovered I've been tagged, it's over.
We both know that.
Of course, Kendall would have me court-martialed for this.
Kendall's not as smart as you are.
Got it.
You okay?
This is nothing.
We need to be up early.
Yes.
We should get to bed.
Yeah, we should.
Hey, you know the thing we can't talk about?
Well, I know a guy who works with Yeager.
He's about to file a formal charge against Vaughn.
What?
I need to talk to him.
No.
Wait.
You do that, you're breaking six different laws.
He needs to know.
His phone is probably already tapped.
Agency cars are equipped with GPS navigators.
Can you access the system?
I found his car.
Roger that.
Keep me posted.
What are you doing here?
Sydney...
I asked a question.
What's going on?
Are you following me?
You just bought something.
It's research.
Research?
What kind of research?
It's private.
Something just for me.
Who do you think you work for?
Nothing is private.
You're being investigated.
What?
When they find out I've told you, I'll be a target.
So don't lie to me.
Sydney, I am not disloyal.
Then why do they say you've been meeting with FSB officers?
An ex-KGB assassin?
They have you in Istanbul, Prague, Krakow.
Without authorization.
Vaughn, if there is some explanation for what you've been doing the past four months, I need to hear what it is.
Right now.
They're at the location.
KH-11 has them on-screen.
There's a limousine approaching.
I see it.
It's Sark.
Delta Team, stand by.
I realize the plan was for Mr.
Sloane to meet you.
But for security reasons, I'm afraid that's impossible.
If you get in, I'll take you to him.
Only you.
Why isn't she getting in?
Where's Sloane?
Close, I assure you.
Then bring him to me.
That's not an option.
Then our deal's off.
So be it.
Tell her to get in the car.
We'll track her.
It's a big car.
I believe there's room for all of us.
That wasn't the plan.
Get in.
He's letting her take guards.
How did she pull that off?
Now I understand why you were asking about secrets.
Yes, there is something I haven't told you.
It hasn't been easy accepting the idea that my job requires me to...
collaborate with my father's killer.
The fact that she happens to be your mother didn't make it easier.
So I've been investigating her on my own for the past six months.
I couldn't wait for the red tape, so I contacted everyone I could.
Anyone who knew her, who ran in the same circles.
I retraced sat phone records that were logged while your mother was with you in India, Kashmir.
Tracked conversations between former lieutenants to see if she signaled when Kendall gave her access to Echelon.
You wanted us to work with her.
I believed your father about her secret agenda.
I wanted to see what she was going to do.
I did all of this on my own.
I paid for this myself.
I had freelance agents retrace every step of every hour she's taken outside operations since her surrender.
I surveilled guards assigned to her cellblock, the kitchen staff.
They told me you downloaded X enon.
I downloaded that program to read KGB files.
I had to find out if she was deceiving us.
I could not sleep at night knowing I was doing nothing.
We are visually tracking a moving target.
Stand by for go code.
We've lost downlink.
What?
Get back on-line.
Sir, someone's hacked the signal.
Are the codes good?
Yes.
Thank you.
Jack, we're blind.
Follow her from your end.
Activate the tracking device.
I can't.
Send in the team.
Delta Team, go.
Repeat, Delta Team, go.
We've got them in sight.
We're tracking.
Stay with that car.
Lost visual.
Got them again.
We're going to head them off.
We got them stopped.
Stand by.
Check the Rambaldi manuscript.
Get me the Rambaldi manuscript now.
Step out of the car, please.
And did you find anything?
Nothing.
She's clean.
Do you have the book?
It's coming.
It's coming.
It's good to see you again, Irina.
Thank you for extracting me.
Jack, it's gone.
