Previously on alias... Hello?

The rambaldi device

in exchange for Sydney Bristow.

Do we have a deal?

Yes.

Keep this phone with you at all times.

You will be notified as to time and place.

We have confirmation of the covenant's demands

my sources have confirmed they are holding Sydney Bristow.

They're asking for the rambaldi device

in exchange for her release.

During the exchange,

I want Sydney Bristow taken out.

Why come to me?

Because I want assurance

that Sydney Bristow is eliminated.

Your research

in memory retrieval sounds quite promising.

Oh, yeah. Well, that's -- well, it's really a trip.

5...

4...

3...

2...

1.

Oh, my God.

Will, what are y--

will, what does this mean?

- Try to breathe normally. - What happened?

We're pulling you out. I gave you a shot -- 10 ccs of adrenaline.

Why? To wake you up.

Sydney, I am not going to let this kill you.

Dad, I have to go back. I saw something.

You were going to flatline again. You're not going back.

I was in my old apartment. I was there with will.

Did will say anything? No, nothing, but there was something --

the cocktail mixture really needs to be adjusted.

You know, it -- please don't do that. We're out of here.

Those are her monitors. We're not going to put her through this again.

But I-I'm sure that I can give her something.

All right, Sydney, I'll contact

the Witness Protection division.

Wait, no, dad!

Pulling will out of Witness Protection

could be dangerous to him.

I'm not suggesting we pull him out.

I'm suggesting you simply contact him.

He knew Allison.

He was there the night you were abducted.

You'd know if he knew anything.

Will must have been debriefed by the CIA

before he went into the program.

Not by you.

You'll go see him. Recount your dreams.

See if we can get another clue to your missing time.

Contacting will puts him in no danger.

Maybe not. I just don't want to pull him back into this.

Sydney, you have to do this.

You looked like you were struggling near the end.

What was happening?

While I was under, I --

I fought myself.

I killed myself.

And I heard myself say that it was the covenant

that had me,

and that it wasn't an accident that I don't remember.

Dr. brezzel commented

that based on the data he'd compiled,

he believed the memory of your missing time

has been removed.

What?

And that however your memories were extracted,

the precision with which it was done

indicates you may have been a willing participant.

I don't understand.

Yeah. Neither did he.

Lindsey still biting?

Lindsey clearly has his suspicions,

but his agreement to go along with the trade

seems to confirm that he's accepted the idea

that Sydney's being held by the covenant.

Where is Sydney?

Pursuing another lead.

A result of meeting the doctor.

Then he was helpful?

Despite the fact that he almost killed her,

yeah, the doctor was great.

The nsc is expecting one more call from the covenant

to set up the time and place for the exchange --

Sydney for the rambaldi device.

And you want me to make the call

representing the covenant?

Yes. We're heading back to the CIA

to disabuse Lindsey of any suspicion

that we've been in contact with Sydney.

In the meantime, I've instructed Sydney

to contact you when she's ready to return.

I just wanted to say for the record

concerning this exchange,

Sydney's life is in your hands.

If you betray her, I swear to you,

no matter what it costs me, I will kill you.

No need to worry, agent Vaughn.

I love her, too.

Jonah, hey, come on,

quit being management, will you?

Let's go get a bite to eat.

You know what? I got to finish the schedule by tomorrow.

Where are you guys going, chompson's?

Yeah. I mean, I'll save a seat for you,

but you know how the women get around me, right?

Yeah, I do. Yeah. Probably no room for me.

See you later.

Hi.

I know.

Listen --

you're dead.

I want to tell you everything.

Is there somewhere we can talk?

Yeah.

Sure.

Let me just go get my stuff.

Will, what the hell are you doing?

Sydney Bristow died in a fire two years -- will, I swear to God I'm me.

I know about project helix! I swear to God --

I know what you are! I'm not a double.

How the hell did you find me? My father knows your case officer.

What's his name? I don't know.

What's my case officer's name?! Will, I don't know. I didn't talk to him.

Get down on your knees! Get down! Okay!

I'm going to call Langley.

I'm going to tell them you're here.

Will, you can't do that. I'm a fugitive.

That's part of what I'm telling you.

If you make that call, you'll burn me. Oh, that's convenient.

Wait. Okay, okay. Listen. Listen.

When we thought you were a double,

you told me to ask you something

only will would know.

Ask me something. Ask me something obscure.

When I had my job interview for the newspaper,

something happened to me that day. I told you about it.

What was it? Someone bumped into you in the elevator.

They spilled coffee on your new white shirt.

You were freaked, but litvak said

it made you look like a working reporter.

She gave you the job!

You know that if I wanted to hurt you, I could.

You're my best friend. You're my oldest friend.

I love you.

Why are you aiming a gun at me?

Oh, my God.

Oh...

Oh...

I found a marksman.

How much?

$500,000.

Wired to this account.

Done.

There's no margin for error here.

If Sydney Bristow somehow survives this,

I will turn over the dossier

of your extracurricular activities

to the justice department.

Dr. brezzel?

Yes.

Aah!

Considering everything,

I suppose I was lucky.

I woke up in the bathtub.

The place was on fire.

I crawled out.

A few days later, I woke up in the hospital.

The fact that I actually wasn't dating francie,

that it was her double --

I thought that was like the number one

most insane story of all time.

But...

Yours actually tops it.

She survived.

Allison doren,

the woman you thought was francie.

She's working with a group called the covenant.

We think they are the ones responsible for kidnapping me,

for setting the fires.

You know, I've, uh,

always thought of myself as a pacifist.

The idea of taking someone's life

is just inconceivable.

If I had the chance to kill Allison...

I never would have come here if I didn't have to.

Are you kidding me?

Oh, my God, you're like

the most beautiful thing I've ever seen.

I went to see a doctor.

He had this sort of dream therapy

he thought might help me remember what happened to me.

I was hoping you could help me make sense of it.

You were sitting in my old apartment.

There was a box of cereal on the counter.

The box had a name written on it,

something I kept seeing in the dream -- St. Aidan.

St. Aidan was a contact of mine

when I was an analyst at the agency.

Yeah, St. Aidan was his code name.

What was his real name?

I never knew it.

Yeah, an arms dealer put me in touch with him.

Do you remember how to contact him?

Yeah. He would only meet with me.

You know, I can go in there again.

No, no, you're not. Yeah, maybe I am.

Assuming you can even get ahold of him.

I mean, he would only meet in person.

No, I didn't come here to pull you back into this.

I have spent the last two years of my life

pretending to be somebody that I'm not.

It's not your fault. I didn't --

you weren't sleeping with her.

When you made contact with St. Aidan,

what was the protocol?

I'd dial a number --

an answering machine in bucharest.

When it picked up, I'd dial a confirmation code.

I'd hang up and wait for him to call me back.

Yes?

If you can, we need to meet.

Tuesday night, 11:00. Same location.

Listen to me very carefully, doctor.

I need to know what Sydney Bristow told you.

S-Sydney?

The brunette...

She was -- wasn't she the brunette?

Ahh! Ah ha.

Yes. She was the brunette.

You helped her recover her memories.

Tell me what she found.

Uh, that the morphine was very good.

Like the old days, when I --

oh, but don't turn that off.

No...

Answer the question.

Well...

Answer, and then you'll get more.

She said she, uh, she fought herself,

and that she saw, uh...

Her friend -- will.

She saw will in her dream?

Yes.

The father,

he said he would -- would call the, uh...

Call a witness.

No.

No, he called the witness, uh,

protection...

Division.

Yeah. Yeah.

Meaning tippin's still alive?

Meaning I really need

some more morphine.

I've earned it, don't you think?

And I --

yeah, that's --

yeah, but --

oh, but not so much, because I could -- ahh...

I could --

I-I could ov--

over--

ahh...

As you know, a number of the video cameras

at the facility were shot out.

Those that remained functional provided us

with only marginal images

of the men who took Sydney.

We ran the video through our database

and came up with eight possible matches.

Now, two weeks ago, one of those suspects

rented an a-star helicopter from a dealer in Austin.

Where he'd also recently purchased a warehouse downtown.

We went there, but the building

was only being used for storage --

boxes of fishing equipment. It was a dead end.

Fishing equipment?

Nice detail.

The bullets that the covenant used are untraceable.

The manufacturer hasn't actually made these shells

for 15 years.

Oh, I re-read your file.

I forgot. You were captured

by east German intelligence agents --

1982?

Yeah, it wasn't your fault, of course.

They'd gotten a tip that the CIA was on their tail,

but you were unprepared.

No backup, no resources.

Still, you convinced them your name was aiken oostburg,

a history Professor from Sweden.

They held you for two weeks

and never identified you as American.

That's, uh, that's impressive.

We are talking

about the fate of my daughter.

Where do you think she is?

Don't...Do this.

Where do you think she --

aah!

Jack! Jack, Jack, let him go.

Get him out of here! Take him into custody now!

If St. Aidan does show,

what am I supposed to tell him?

That you've just been given code six clearance,

that you want information about the covenant.

Last chance to bail out.

What, are you kidding me?

I love this stuff.

Based on my analysis of the calls

the covenant made about trading the rambaldi device

for Sydney, sir,

well, the voiceprint analysis was unable to I.D. The voice,

because whoever it was, they were using

an anti-speech signal parameterization device, so --

you're telling me you've got nothing?

Well, at the moment,

yeah, I lack everything, sir.

So we've got no way to verify that it was actually

the covenant making the demand for the trade?

Well, you could say that the fact

that we can't confirm it was them

is confirmation that it was them,

because it does look like

particularly stealthy covenant behavior.

Right.

Uh, sir -- Mr. Lindsey -- one more thing.

Sorry. Um...

Listen, I know I'm just the, you know,

the tech guy, and I'm no one to you.

Well, Sydney Bristow means a lot to me.

I just wanted your opinion.

Is she going to be all right?

I am doing everything in my power

to bring this to a safe and swift conclusion.

You have my word.

Thank you.

Is he always this late?

We might have just gotten blown off.

Mr. tippin?

What happened to your hand?

Another time, perhaps.

Oh, my God, it's lazarey.

It's good to see you again.

I wasn't sure you'd come.

I would not have come at all,

except money's something I could use.

Well, I'll see what we can do about that.

Uh, you should know I've been given

code six clearance,

and I need to know about the covenant.

Why are you asking me about the covenant?

I thought that you would --

how do you think I even know anything about them?

Well...Well, obviously you know something.

I cannot talk about covenant.

Wait a minute. Excuse -- lives are at stake.

Yes, they are.

We have nothing further to discuss.

Tell him Julia Thorne sent you.

Julia Thorne sent me.

No. I don't believe you.

Yell out the name lazarey.

Lazarey.

Tell him Julia told you his name,

that she needs to see him,

that she trusts him, but she's in danger.

It was Julia Thorne.

She told me your name.

She needs to see you.

She trusts you, but she's in danger.

Did they find it?

Will, I don't know what he's talking about.

Have they been to gratz? I need to know if --

Will, get out of there! They're after lazarey!

Sark!

Will!

I can't make sense of it.

I mean, how we got to lazarey,

what he meant...

What the covenant wants.

But they don't kill lazarey. They tranq him.

They abduct him. They wanted him.

Lazarey asked if they got it,

so whatever's going on, there is a thing.

Yeah, and there's someone else who's trying to find it.

I mean, things really don't get any more vague

than that, do they?

It's sloane. It's obviously sloane.

Syd, you've been going over this

since the beginning of time.

You'll figure it out.

What makes you say that?

Because you're you.

Think that was the best move, punching Lindsey in the face?

Just on the comments he was making,

it was obvious that you and I

were going to end up here,

no matter what we did, whether I hit him or not.

I wasn't about to pass up the opportunity.

We shouldn't have let Sydney go.

Vaughn.

What?

Sydney can no longer be your primary concern.

What the hell's that supposed to mean?

I didn't bring this up to start a petty fight.

The fact is, you and I have something in common.

We've both suffered through the death

of the woman we loved,

only to discover she was still alive.

I know it's hard,

but this isn't about you,

and I will not allow my daughter

to become your mistress.

If that's where you think

my concern for Sydney is headed,

then you are even more cynical than I thought.

If lightning strikes, Mr. Vaughn,

and you and I get to walk free again,

if you care about my daughter

as you claim to,

then push her away.

Be cruel if you have to.

Make her despise you.

Because your kindness tortures her.

I can see it, what it does to her,

and I won't have it.

You and Vaughn's wife work together?

Okay, how the hell did that --

let's talk about you.

A beautiful painter lives in your building,

and you haven't asked her out. Why?

Because Jonah's recovering

from a post-traumatic dating syndrome

after his last girlfriend dumped him

by ramming a bayonet into his lungs.

Hmm.

Go -- let's go back to you.

Okay, you and Vaughn's wife.

Yeah. I hate her.

I mean, I don't. She's nice.

You hate her. Yeah.

That's okay.

But not 'cause of her.

It's just...

I still love him.

God.

That sucks.

You know, will,

considering everything, I think I'm pretty normal.

I'm emotional.

I try to be honest, but I've --

I've never been a depressed person...

Until now.

I get it.

I mean, nothing has felt the same this year,

and it's -- it's not just Vaughn.

It's -- it's you...

And francie.

I don't know.

What?

I'm just alone.

Hey...

Hey, it's okay.

It's okay.

Syd...

Your target --

a government employee.

When and where?

When I know, you'll know.

And just when I was beginning to believe

the glowing press about you being

such a humanitarian.

You're a smarter man than that.

Who are you?

You abandoned me as a child.

The vague memory I have of you,

you were physically abusive.

Later in life, you left me $800 million.

Should I go on?

Hello, daddy.

You were not grateful?

Your inheritance was not enough?

I know the truth,

and therefore I show no remorse

seeing you like this.

I was an apparatchik by profession,

but a romanov by blood.

So are you.

In part, that's why I staged my death --

to give you the inheritance that is rightfully yours.

That's wonderful spin.

You should know that the inheritance

that you hoped would buy my affection

now finances my employer --

the covenant.

Julia...

The covenant --

they are true evil.

The man you were meeting with --

I want to know exactly what you said to him.

Every word.

Pathetic.

I'll give you a moment...

To remember exactly what you said.

I'll ask you one more time.

What exactly did you tell

the man you were meeting with?

You wouldn't do something like this.

Not to your own father.

Aah!

Oh, my God.

I know, it's weird.

I've been waiting to do that for like eight years.

No, no.

What you said before...

About me being me.

I don't remember.

Lazarey asked if they have it.

"Have they been to gratz?"

Whatever it was that was hidden,

whatever he was talking about,

I obviously had it.

I must have had it in gratz.

Whatever I did, if it was me,

the choices I made were my choices.

Oh, so if you had something to hide today,

where would you hide it?

Exactly. Uh, well, that depends on what it is,

what the context is.

Assume for a second that it's information, data, a video,

something that can be stored.

Well, if it's something small,

it could be hidden anywhere.

Somewhere safe.

Well, when lazarey spoke,

it didn't sound like it was someplace protected.

I know. That's why I'm thinking

bank or hotel safety deposit box.

Well, how come? Because that's where I put it.

Where would I hide something?

Wait a second.

What?

Hotel verlustzeit.

Aah!

We're going to gratz.

Hotel verlustzeit.

Hello?

Checking in?

Yeah, of course.

I'm here, she's here. We made it.

And you are?

We're the next big thing.

This way, please.

This is one of our finest suites.

Yeah, yeah, it's fine.

Um, the bar is, um, over there.

Uh, the gym is on the sixth floor.

Open 24 hours.

Of course you have a balcony.

Um...

A fantastic view.

That should be it.

Room service also.

Is there anything else I can get for you?

Yeah. Thank you for asking.

You know, you're a lovely little man.

Isn't he? Yeah.

Sweetheart, um, two bottles?

Of what?

Champagne.

Four? Two?

Two bottles?

One's good.

One. All right.

We're going to get four bottles of champagne,

and I'm going to tip you like I ordered five.

Yes, sir. You know what I mean?

Yes, sir.

You do, don't you, you cheeky little bastard?

Yes.

Cheers.

What? What?

Come on, if we're going to do this,

we got to, you know,

we got to be legit about it.

It was a little over the top.

Over the top?

I'm wearing seat covering.

There is no over the top.

Plus, I like champagne.

You keep forgetting, I live in Wisconsin now.

Call up the on-screen checkout.

You have to admit, my accent was pretty good.

It was like early stones.

I thought it was Australian.

Shut up.

I was like... "Yeah, I'm here.

She's here. We made it."

I mean, that's good.

Take a look at it. Right, that's enough.

Carry on.

Let's get past these firewalls.

Right.

Let's see if I was ever here.

Okay, we're in the system. All right, what are we looking for?

Long-term storage contracts.

The names of people who have things in safety deposit boxes,

for example.

Unbelievable.

Box 23.

Let's see if they have a floor plan online.

What if they don't?

Think positively. Here we go.

Subbasement, just past the northeast corridor.

What about security?

I'm almost done looping the surveillance cameras.

Let's move.

♪ I like it, I like it, I love it, I hate it. ♪

I assume you're not primping

♪ I want it, I need it I have it, I waste it. ♪

Stand back.

What is that?

Sark's got it.

Will, you can't. You're not trained.

Go.

I guess we have unfinished business.

This is for francie.

Uhh!

Will.

Will.

We got to get out of here.

Set the time and place with Lindsey.

I'm ready to be traded back.

Sydney, Lindsey's taken your father and Vaughn

into custody.

Dixon's in custody as well.

But we need to proceed with this trade as planned

so that Lindsey believes you are being held

by the covenant.

The rambaldi device is being delivered

in San Pedro.

I've hired a team to pick it up.

They'll appear to be working for the covenant.

As soon as they've left the area,

you're to drive yourself to meet Lindsey.

You are never ending up with the rambaldi device.

I want it put inside the van and taken directly

to the parking lot at hill St. and 9th.

I want the van to remain visible at all times.

No one is to enter or exit the vehicle.

Sydney, you have my word.

That's a relief.

Weiss.

Listen very carefully. I need a favor.

Just listen to me and tell no one about this call.

The rambaldi device that's being traded to the covenant?

It's actually going to sloane.

He needs to be watched

from the moment he gets the device.

Grab the feed from a satellite that has a view of the trade.

Track their van.

Any suspicious stops, anyone gets on or off,

have a team standing by to bring them in.

All right, I got it.

Whatever the hell you're up to, good luck.

I want you to get an agent...

Status?

Sir, the covenant's representatives

have taken possession of the rambaldi device.

Syd, I'm tracking the van. The package is inside.

You'll follow the van to the rendezvous point.

Anything unusual, you'll let me know.

Roger that.

I'm heading toward Lindsey. Wish me luck.

Sir, we have a twenty on agent Bristow.

She's approaching the dock.

Bristow's arrived.

On behalf of the U.S. government,

I want to say how relieved I am

at your safe return.

Shots fired! Shots fired! Seal off the perimeter now!

Shots from the west! Man down! Man down!

Stay down! Stay down!

I need an ambulance at my location now!

You murdered Robert Lindsey!

I think you already know my response.

Let me guess. You don't know what I'm talking about.

Not a word.

I did everything as you asked.

I followed your protocol precisely.

This was your endgame the whole time.

Now, you can go on blaming me if you like,

or you can accept the truth.

Which is what?

The deceiver was Lindsey, not me.

His team might have thought so,

but apparently Lindsey never gave us

the rambaldi device.

It was a setup.

I don't know how you did this,

but you're not going to get away with it.

I don't know what you're talking about.

Seems like everything is falling back into place.

Thank you, by the way.

For everything.

Yeah.

I got to go.

I'm meeting Lauren.

Now, I'm not exactly sure what this means.

What is that?

What was inside the box. It's human tissue.

Vital. Still active.

Oh, and, uh, there was a name

etched inside the box.

Milo rambaldi.

Will.

I've been looking for you.

You feeling all right?

Yeah.

Seeing Allison again...

Killing her...

You know, I must have dreamed about it

I don't know how many times.

When you told me that she was still alive,

I thought if I had the chance,

that ending her life would be satisfying.

You know, there'd be closure.

It would be cathartic.

It's just as empty as the dreams.

It's horrible.

There's no...

Satisfaction.

There's nothing.

I know they talked to you.

Now that the covenant knows you're still alive,

you might want to move again --

maybe somewhere outside of the country.

No, I'm not going to run anymore.

I'm going to stay in Wisconsin.

I don't know, maybe when I get back,

I'll, uh...

I'll ask out that painter.

We're going to see each other again.

Love you.

You too.

Will?

Yeah?

We never talked about that.

Yeah.

I kind of like that.
