All language subtitles for Alias S02E06 Salvation_Track02

CIA profile --
agent Sydney Bristow.

Okay, I'm in.

Agent Bristow works undercover
with her father Jack Bristow,

also a double agent with CIA.

Get down!

I guess we'll just have
to learn to trust each other.

Bristow's CIA contact --
Michael Vaughn.

My guardian angel.

Her current assignment --
to infiltrate and destroy SD-6,

a secret organization
dealing in espionage,

extortion, weapons sales,
posing as the CIA.

SD-6 has made
over $400 million

in arms sales alone.

SD-6 director --
arvin sloane.

The sanctity of this agency
requires the sacrifice

of some personal freedoms.

This is not about
cutting off an arm

of the monster.

This is about killing
the monster.

Bristow's mother,
formerly Russian intelligence,

recently turned herself in
to the CIA.

Mom?

Intel indicates she may still be
an enemy of the United States.

The true loyalty
of agent Bristow's mother

remains unknown.

Previously on "alias"...

Let's talk about
last week --

the incident
in Madagascar.

My mother informed us
the building was safe to enter.

In truth, it was a trap.

Derevko had rigged it
with explosives.

Washington has made a decision
regarding your mother.

What she did to you
invalidated her agreement

with the CIA.

The government
is pressing charges.

I saw de souza.

He told me that you hired him
to rig those explosives.

Sydney will never know
about what I've done.

You betrayed her trust.

I won't.

You want me
to hypnotize you?

I need to know
what happened to me.

Where are you, Sydney?

In my room,
when I was little.

You took away
my choices in life.

You programmed me
to be a spy.

You weren't trying
to protect me from her.

You were trying to protect
your secret.

So the first opportunity
you had, you set her up.

I will never forgive you
for this.

Your mother's trial starts
this morning.

How long do you think
it will last?

Could be a while.

With 86 counts of espionage
against her,

the prosecution alone
could take months

just to present
their case.

I want to see
the opening arguments.

I'll arrange
for a closed-circuit feed

into the ops center.

Thanks.

You know any jokes?
'Cause I could use one.

This grasshopper
walks into a bar,

and the bartender says,

"hey, we have a drink
named after you."

And the grasshopper
says...

"You have a drink
named Doug?"

Well, I was going to use
Phil.

Well, Phil is certainly
no funnier than Doug.

No, I'm sorry.
It's a non-humorous, uh...

Mr. sark.

As you know, he's proven himself
to be a key player

in the world of international
organized crime.

Now he may be developing
a bioweapon

synthesized from a virus
that we've never seen before.

This is claus Richter,
a former employee of sark's

whom we've recently
taken into custody.

A routine medical workup
revealed

that Richter may have
accidentally been exposed

to the virus
before we picked him up.

Marshall.

Thank you, sir.

Okay, now, take a look
on your screen here.

These little
squiggly things --

that's just normal
flu antibody --

something that you might have
if you got a common cold

or cough, something.

Now, this shows antibodies
1,000% above normal levels,

very similar
to the ebola virus,

most notably
massive hemorrhaging,

except that this virus
works by breaking down

bonds between cells,

so basically Richter's body
in just a couple of days

is gonna look --
oh, like --

did you ever see
that movie "the fly"?

Do you remember that little
poor red-assed baboon

when he was like
turned inside out?

Thank you, Marshall.

We recently uncovered
a charter agreement

indicating that sark rented
a medically equipped 727

to transport three patients

presumably suffering
from the same virus

as Richter to a private hospital
in Geneva.

This hospital is one of sark's
business fronts.

We believe he's assembled
a team to study the virus.

Your objective is to infiltrate
the facility

and acquire the research.

Jack, you'll be entering
the hospital as a patient

in need
of a kidney transplant.

Sydney,
you'll be accompanying him

as the loving daughter
who's agreed to donate one.

I trust that this won't be
too much of a stretch, hmm,

for either of you?

We should talk.

We have nothing
to talk about.

You can either be angry,
or you can be informed.

Please try to understand

what I'm about to tell you,
Sydney.

After your mother left,

I tested project Christmas
on you

because I didn't want you
to be a victim.

I thought it was
my responsibility

to teach you
how to think strategically,

to see through
people's lies,

to be as strong
as you could be

in an environment
where one mistake

could cost you your life.

Well, then you should have
told me the truth

before I ended up here.

Yes. You're right.

I never intended you
to lead a double life.

I imagined recruiting you
into the CIA

after you finished college.

But sloane got to you
first.

And that is a mistake
I will never live down.

I'd like to believe you,

but I don't trust
anything you say.

Closed circuits on-line.

The proceedings start
in about a minute,

and the feed will be
right over here.

Thanks, Rick.

Sure.

That's senator Douglas.
Where's the judge?

Distinguished witnesses,
I know you were expecting

opening arguments
for the prosecution

of Irina derevko,

but as of this morning,
a plea agreement

has been reached
with the defendant.

In regard to the 86 counts
of espionage

leading to the deaths
of 12 United States operatives,

derevko has pled guilty
on all counts.

A select penalty jury was
empanelled early this morning,

and the decision
was predictably swift.

Derevko received
the maximum sentence

under federal statute --
death by lethal injection.

Since she's opted to forego
all appeals,

her execution will be
carried out

three days from today.

Session adjourned.

Confidential
to deputy director devlin.

I'm writing to inform you
that my father --

Jack Bristow --

did willfully deceive the CIA
into believing

Irina derevko violated
her immunity agreement.

I'm committing this statement
to paper

so it may be used
in an official capacity

to halt my mother's
execution.

Despite her past crimes,
I can't in good conscience

allow her sentence
to be carried out

when she kept her word
to cooperate with us.

It is not Irina derevko

who should be
answering these charges.

It is my father.

We have a dead drop.

Request pickup.
Looks like a letter.

Copy that.
Sending agent for retrieval.

When my mom first came back into
my life, I wanted her dead.

So how the hell
did I become

the person who's trying
to save her?

That doesn't mean
that you have to be

her best friend.

It means that you did
the right thing.

How are you?

Oh, I got my, uh,
30 days' sobriety chip.

Even though
I was never a drug addict,

I'm kind of proud.

Oh, by the way, you know
anybody who wants a car?

I'm hocking mine.

You're selling your car?

Yeah, well,
it's either that

or I quit paying
my student loans.

I can't afford
to have bad credit

and a criminal record.

Okay, well, I know
you're going to say no,

but I can lend you money.

Yes, I'm gonna say no.

But thank you.

Hey.

Seriously,
in the morning,

I got rear-ended
by four frat guys

coming home
from a party.

Two of them threw up
while I was getting

their insurance information.
At least they had
insurance.

Why are you cleaning
like this?

You're acting
like Howard Hughes.

Well, the zagat guy is coming
to give his review today.

I want this place
spotless.

There's a hamburger
behind you.

You know, francie, I worked
up through Los feliz

and atwater village.

Oh, cool, cliff.
Thanks.

Give me just a second,
okay?

I told him I'd give him
a couple bucks

if he just handed out some
fliers, got the word out.

Hamburgers aren't
on the menu, are they?

Garden burger.
How much are you
paying that guy?

12 bucks an hour.

Hamburger's making
more than I am.

Keep cleaning, sweetie.

I gotta clean.

I gotta catch a plane.

Be safe.

Okay. Okay.

Sir, if you'll recall,
project Christmas

was developed
by Jack Bristow

to train
potential CIA recruits

at a young age.

Now, based on the research
Irina derevko stole from him,

the kgb developed their own
version of the project.

Yes, I recall.

One of our assets in moscow
just sent this over.

It's a test questionnaire

administered to a group
of first graders

in the early '80s.

The test was designed
to identify kids

who would make good agents
in the Soviet secret service.

Reading over it,
what really struck me

is how similar
these questions are

to a standard I.Q. Test
given to first graders

in this country.

Where are you going
with this?

Remember the rumor going around
the agency during the cold war

about the Soviets raising
sleeper agents as Americans?

Now, I know it sounds
potentially paranoid,

but this is
how you would do it.

If they managed to get
their test in circulation here,

they could have contacted
hundreds of kids.

Interesting,
but unlikely.

I just think
it would be interesting

to analyze tests from --

stop. We can't spare
a single agent right now,

much less a team
for a project

that at best
has historical value.

The kgb doesn't even
exist anymore.

I see your mother's
latest maneuver

had its intended effect
on you.

What maneuver
would that be?

Pleading guilty.
Accepting the death penalty.

Yep. She's got us
right where she wants us.

Not us. You.

Your mother's no fool.

She must have deduced
I set her up.

So why do you imagine
she pled guilty?

Because she was struck
by a crisis of conscience?

I think she knew the verdict
was a foregone conclusion.

She pled guilty

to keep you from witnessing
her trial, Sydney,

from having you see photos

of the agents
she savagely murdered,

including Vaughn's father.

She knew if you sat
through that,

whatever sympathy she'd managed
to elicit from you

would vanish,

so she cast herself
as the victim

to compel you to save her.

And guess what?

You fell for it.

I thought you deserved
a second chance

to think things over.

Here's your letter.

How'd you get that?

I spent a decade
with this woman,

and another 20 years
analyzing

how she could have
deceived me for so long.

Trust me when I tell you
I am protecting you.

No, you're not.

I think you loved mom
so much

that when she left you,
you lost your soul.

You know what else
I think?

I think the kind of man
who'd use his own daughter

to frame her mother,

who'd test
psych experiments on her

when she was 6 years old,

is the kind of man
who looks at his daughter

and sees
his greatest mistake.

You can't honestly
believe that.

It's true, isn't it?

If mom hadn't fooled you,

if you hadn't been
so gullible,

I never
would have been born.

I'm going to finish
reviewing the mission now.

Thanks.
Thanks for coming.

Of course.
Is everything all right?

Okay, look, I don't --

I don't know how to say this
other than to just say it.

I need a job.

With all the publicity,
no one will hire me.

I thought maybe
you could help me out.

I mean, I don't mean
to be an agent.

I know that the CIA has
a ton of front companies --

defense contractors
and shipping companies.

I'll work at a desk,
anywhere, just as long --

look, I know this is
going to drive you insane,

but we can't employ you,

because you have
a criminal record.

I have a criminal record

because of a drug habit
I never had.

Know anybody
who wants to buy a car?

There might be something.

I have a discretionary fund
I use for informants.

Totally off the books.

I could pay you
to do research.

Seriously?
Man, I would so owe you.

This is a list of questions.

Please keep them
to yourself.

If any of these questions
ever appeared

on a standardized test
in the United States

over the last 20 years.

Okay, the more you tell me,

the faster I can get you
what you want, so...

I pay by the hour.
Take your time.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

Mr. Harrison,
I'm jan spinnaker,

hospital administrator.

Welcome to St. auburn's.

My daughter

and the very twinkle
in my eye -- Marion.

Daddy, stop it.

It's so nice to meet you.

A pleasure to meet
the daughter

who'd sacrifice so much
for her father.

I would do anything
for my daddy.

This way, please.

The computer in this satchel
provides me

a secure link to my money.

The satchel cannot be
removed from my arm

during the operation.

All arrangements
have been made --

now, I chose
your hospital

for its high
security standards.

We employ security
with training

equivalent
to the secret service.

You won't be disappointed.

Very good.

Okay, you're going
to Geneva to get a sample

of a top-secret virus.

Your cover is you're going in
for a kidney transplant.

"Now, hold on a second,
Marshall. We need our kidneys."

Well, don't worry.
They're not going anywhere,

because of this.

Now, basically,

when you are positioned
in the O.R.,

press this button lightly
twice.

It will activate
a tank of halothane.

Halothane is
the same anesthetic

that they're pumping
through your masks.

Why don't you both try
counting backwards from 10?

10...

9...

8...

Which leads us
to question number two --

if they're pumping
anesthesia in the room

and you're also
gulping it down --

what did I do with --
by the maskful,

then what's going
to prevent us

from passing out
ourselves?

The solution
is in this solution.

It's a mix
of anti-anesthetics,

and I also,
for good measure,

threw in a time-release
synthetic caffeine

that I use in my decaf
every morning.

Just take it right before
you head into the hospital,

and, trust me, you, uh,
won't fall asleep.

7...

6...

♪ Go

they'll be out
for 15 minutes.

♪ Go

they've all been sedated
for the pain.

Patient zero's in there.
Get a blood sample.

I'll download
the viral research.

Irina?

I need help!

Don't struggle.

He could tear the glove off.
You could become infected.

I'll up his morphine.

Irina.

Irina.

His vitals fell below
the preset warning levels.

The doctors will be alerted.
Work fast.

Eagle eye,
this is blackbird,

requesting early extraction,
lz-bravo.

Copy that, blackbird.

E.T.A. -- Lz-bravo
in three minutes.

Come on.

Come on, come on, come on.

This is Dr. Giselle.

I need security teams
on the research level now!

We need to get
to the roof.

Security will flank us
from both sides of the hall.

We can't reload the tranqs
fast enough

to take out
more than four people.

Find some iodine.

Ammonia and iodine
form an unstable compound

when they're mixed together.

Initiate
level 3 lockdown --

perimeter and elevators.

I've got this.

Blackbird,
we're on the roof.

We're waiting for you.

Don't shoot!

Against the wall!

Bypass the lockdown.
I'll hold them off!

Buy me 10 seconds.
I need more time.

Ammo!

Sydney!

If you're wondering
why that man

mistook you
for your mother,

he worked for her.

I skimmed the research
as it was downloading.

Before she surrendered
to the CIA,

Irina deliberately
ordered sark

to expose
some of her own operatives

to the virus
in order to study it.

Ask yourself if that's
a person worth saving.

I had toxicology
analyze the glass of wine

that somehow made its way
into my house last week.

They found a compound
called vtx,

which counteracts the effects
of sodium morphate.

Sodium morphate
is the poison I used to...

End Emily's suffering.

I see
two possibilities here.

Either Emily predicted
your intention

to euthanize her,

took the necessary
countermeasures,

and is now playing
a game with you,

or the more likely
scenario --

someone wants you to believe
Emily's alive.

Or worse, they'll try and make
the alliance believe it, too.

If they think
that I failed to carry out

the one condition
of my admittance,

that I have been betraying
them the whole time,

then they'd be forced
to assume

that my entire division
is rogue.

Then we'll all be
in danger.

I don't think
I can ever forgive my father

for the things he's done,

but maybe he's right

about what he's been
saying all along.

Maybe her cooperation is part
of some elaborate strategy

he's more equipped to see
than I am.

Look, your father's
asking you to let her die

for something
she migdo.

I don't think
you can live with that.

Good work in Geneva.

Thanks.

The CIA is analyzing
the copy of the disk

you brought back.

If SD-6 plans on using
the virus as a weapon,

we might be able
to get a jump on the antidote

thanks to the blood work
you brought back.

I hope so.

Listen, there's something else
you should know.

Will came to me for a job.
He did?

So I hired him off the books
to do some research.

On what?

Just background on the old kgb
version of project Christmas.

Of course, I didn't
tell him that.

He thinks he's comparing
an I.Q. Test

against the public record.

I just figured it was your
prerogative to tell him more.

That was really nice of you.
Thanks.

You're welcome.

There's nothing
more boring

than a commerce bureau
luncheon.

Thanks for joining me,
Jack.

What is it?

Did you see that?

See what?

Can I help you?

Ahh!

Can I help you?

Did you see someone
come in here just now?

A woman?

No, I've been alone
all morning.

Father, would you
excuse us, please?

Sit down.

Now you tell me
you saw her.

I saw a woman,
but it could have been anyone.

You may be suffering from
post-traumatic stress disorder,

brought on by intense feelings
of guilt.

Arvin, you have walked
into a church,

a place to confess.

She's alive.

She knew the alarm code.

She could have come
into the house undetected.

There is a clear way
to know for certain,

but I hesitate
to suggest it.

Sir, there's
something I have to report.

While it appears
that my mother

sent me into a trap
in Madagascar,

in truth, she was unaware
that there was any danger.

Yes, I know.

I have your father's
statement right here.

He told us himself
this morning.

What?

A hearing has been scheduled

with the joint intelligence
committee.

My intention wasn't
to punish my father, sir.

It was to stop my mother's
execution from going forward.

Excuse me.

Yes?

I'll send her down
right now.

They'd like to see you
in medical services.

You asked to see me?

Agent Bristow,
I'm Dr. Nicholas.

What's going on?

Five weeks ago,
you infiltrated

one of your mother's
laboratories in taipei,

where you discovered
a rambaldi device.

How long were you
in proximity to the device?

I...

It took me about a minute
to rig it with explosives.

I made it to the other side
of the door,

but Vaughn was submerged,
I don't know,

maybe another minute
or two.

Will someone please tell me
what's going on?

We believe the device
is the source of the virus

that infected the men
in Geneva.

Unfortunately,
you and agent Vaughn

may have been exposed.

I'm sorry.

We'd like to draw some blood
and keep you under observation.

If sloane pages me,
that's going to be a problem.

Your father's
already been informed.

He's covering for you.

I know.

♪ Far past
my wildest dreams ♪

♪ I never thought

♪ my heart would scream

♪ and burn into the sun.

Hi.
Hey.

Did you close your eyes
at all?

On and off.

You talk in your sleep.

No.

What did I say?

"Don't frost the pie."

It seemed really important.

No idea.

♪ I hang my heart, my soul

you think we're sick?

I don't know.

Vaughn, can I tell you
something?

Agent Bristow,
your tests came back

negative for antibodies.

You're free to go.

Agent Vaughn, your tests
at this point are inconclusive.

We did find
a heightened level

of antibodies
in your bloodstream,

but you could simply
be fighting off a cold.

We won't know
for a few more hours.

You'll have to stay.

You said you tested
patient zero's blood

at the first sign
of infection.

What was the sign?

Hemorrhaging
from the fingernails.

It'll be fine.

Your dad's hearing's
in an hour.

You should go.

I'll see you soon.

Yeah.

Agent Bristow,

this hearing's been convened
to determine

an appropriate punishment
for the crimes

depicted
in your statement.

Before we begin
our inquiry,

do you have anything
you'd like to say?

Only that despite
my admission of guilt,

I still firmly believe

Irina derevko is a threat,
and will prove it

at her earliest possible
convenience.

Is that how you justify
lying to your superiors,

endangering other agents?

Yes.

Why this sudden
change of heart?

Deferentially, senator,
my reasons are my own.

I see.

Reviewing your file,

I was shocked to discover
how many times

you've displayed behavior

that at best can be
characterized as rogue.

You have lost the benefit
of the doubt here, sir,

and your silence
will not suffice,

so again I ask you,

why the change of heart?

My daughter convinced me
that I acted unethically.

Isn't it a fact

that you knew your daughter
intended to turn you in,

and that you beat her
to the punch

only by an hour
in order to secure

a degree of leniency
from this body?

No, sir,
that is not the case.

Sydney Bristow,
my daughter...

Has come to believe
that when I look at her,

I see the embodiment
of all my flaws.

And this afternoon
when I learned

that she may have been
exposed

to a life-threatening
disease,

I realized that she might die
believing that,

but nothing could be
further from the truth.

When I look at her,

when I look
at the little girl

who raised herself
to become

one of the most
extraordinary human beings

and one of the finest agents

I've ever had the privilege
of knowing,

I see only the promise
of my own redemption.

Turning myself in was
the only way I could think of

to make that clear to her,

to prove that despite...

My limited abilities
as a father,

I love her
more than I could ever say.

I didn't order this.

It's from the gentleman
at the bar.

You okay?

Yeah,
clean bill of health.

Apparently
I am fighting a cold.

I came by to see you
after the hearing,

but they were still
running tests.

I know.
They told me you came here.

This is ridiculous
being in the same restaurant

on the phone.

Listen, Syd,
I, um...

I actually came by
to tell you something.

They're sending
your father to prison.

You're kidding?

It gets worse.

Douglas decided your mother's
immunity agreement

was never binding.

They're going to carry out
her death sentence anyway.

Her execution goes ahead
tomorrow at 8:00 A.M.

Welcome back to Washington,
senator.

Ed, you missed the exit.

Hello?

No!

Ow! Hey!

You're making a big mistake!

Sorry about the detour,
senator,
what the hell are you doing?

But I need two minutes
of your undivided attention.

And I don't care what point
you want to make.

I'd like you to consider
dropping the charges

against my father and honoring
my mother's immunity agreement.

You can't be serious.
I recognize how indecisive
this sounds,

and my father, I've come
to believe, was protecting me.

His intentions
are irrelevant.

It's his decisions
that matter.

I'm sorry, agent Bristow,

but my colleagues and I
have zero tolerance

for anyone who'd lie
to their own government,

especially
in this day and age.

And your mother --

well, she's had it coming
for 20 years.

Now, given what you've
been through,

I'm willing to forgive
your little misstep tonight.

Would you kindly
drop me off at home?

Wait in the car.

How did you persuade
Douglas to reverse himself?

I told him I have a secret
only you and I know about,

a secret sloane told you
in confidence

that poses such a threat
to national security

that we couldn't trust
even the CIA to contain it.

What secret is that?

One of your colleagues --
a United States senator --

is working
for the alliance.

We have evidence
of wire transfers

totaling $6.3 million.

To whom?

That's what we're trying
to find out.

But without my mother
and father,

I'll be forced to hand
the investigation over

there's no senator
in the alliance's pocket.

You lied.

I'm not proud of what I did.

I may not agree
with your decision

to interact
with your mother, Sydney,

but I will from now on

respect that it is
your decision to make.

They're bringing in
your mother now.

I'm sure you'll want
to see her.
