Previously on "alias"... Who are you?

Your mother's sister.

Katya.

What about him?

Kill him.

In it you'll find disposal facilities

capable of dealing with her remains.

According to sloane, Nadia will be injected

with a fluid that will enable her to deliver a message.

Sloane believes that his daughter will serve

as a direct conduit to the consciousness

of milo rambaldi.

Get away from her.

Sydney, please!

Now!

Mr. sloane, we got to go! Now! Go!

You're safe.

I promise he will never hurt you again.

She drew an equation.

Coordinates that would lead to a place.

What place? What are we supposed to find there?

Rambaldi.

Good evening, miss Bristow.

Hey, Syd.

Where do we stand with rambaldi's equation?

How close are you to solving it?

Uh, I only recovered about 92%.

I designed a program to extrapolate the rest,

but these permutations are, like, vast.

I mean, it seems to be written

in some sort of pre-galilean algebra,

which, you know, kind of makes you think

uh, should be about eight hours.

Let me know the moment it's done.

Absolutely.

Uh, actually, sir,

do you mind if I ask,

what exactly are we looking for?

Our only intel came from the interrogation

of Dr. Lee in havana.

Crazy as it sounds,

he says we're looking for rambaldi.

Rambaldi?

As in...Mr. Ram-- from the --

I understand.

I'm gonna...

It addresses a certain proclivity of mine.

If this works,

I'll happily make your sick little fantasy come true.

Uploading rambaldi's equation now.

Oh. Hey, Syd.

Uh, listen, have you seen a USB key

with a "speed racer" logo on it?

Any -- oh, all right.

It just happens to have every single picture

we've ever taken of Mitchell on it,

and, well, I brought it in here

to make duplicates, and of course

genius that I am,

I forgot to make a backup copy.

I'll tell you something. Carrie's gonna kill me

if I don't find it.

Ah! Found it!

It was in the -- when I was doing the keyboard earlier.

Yeah, it's a good thing I found it,

'cause Carrie would probably divorce me if I --

thing is, I'd probably divorce myself

in the process, you know.

Is that a new perfume you're wearing?

'Cause it's nice. I like it.

Why are you downloading the equation?

I have it.

Corrupting the database now.

Activate countermeasures now.

Head down, love.

Sydney!

Call on line one, Mr. Vaughn.

We have a level five --

Aah!

You have a clear path for the exit.

Syd, wait!

You all right?

Name's Hank foster.

Counterterrorist threat analysis.

What am I doing here, Mr. foster?

At 7:22 this evening, you were logged in

at the safe house where Nadia Santos is being held?

Is that accurate?

It was around dinner.

I brought her a sandwich.

Where were you before that?

Buying her the sandwich.

What is this?

At 6:12 tonight, the rotunda was compromised.

What?

How is --

you tell me.

Oh, my God.

Is he okay?

Was any--

was anyone killed?

It would do you good if you had an alibi.

I used the key you gave me.

I took the suitcase. I'm prepared to use it.

When the agency concludes, as they will,

that Lauren was responsible,

the pressure to capture her will rise exponentially.

Not even so much as a glass of water.

May I suggest you have Vaughn talk with him?

Given their personal history, I'm not sure that's advisable.

Sark undoubtedly will be more afraid

to face a man he so recently tortured.

Given his pattern for caving out of fear,

I believe Vaughn's presence

will more likely yield the results we're looking for.

Last time we were together,

our roles were reversed.

Funny how things happen.

I'm afraid the irony is lost on me.

You like the electric batons and the injections.

I'm not into accessories.

I'm more than willing to cooperate, Mr. Vaughn.

I will tell you everything you want.

But I will need something in return.

No deals.

Well, then it seems we're at an impasse.

I assure you it won't take Lauren long

to solve rambaldi's equation.

Well, better get started then.

Where is Lauren Reed?

I understand your suspicion.

But we both know

that whatever was taken,

I probably had access to it.

And if Marshall had it, I could have just asked him.

It was a covenant raid.

They got the rambaldi equation.

We apprehended Julian sark.

Think I broke it.

Clearly.

You ready to talk?

Yes.

When I first learned

of your wife's true allegiance,

I almost felt pity for you.

How embarrassing it must have been

to learn that the woman you shared your bed with

was only using you

as an unfortunate means to an end.

I wouldn't do this if I were you.

But then she wasn't sharing your bed lately, was she?

She was in mine.

Or in my car.

Or an elevator.

Or a garage.

There was this one time --

this is my favorite.

We were engaged in an alley,

and she called you to tell you she loved you.

That woman was deliciously filthy.

Ahh!

Feel that?

Feels like a knife slicing through you, doesn't it?

Now where is she?

Lauren Reed was working for the covenant

her codes have been revoked,

but she would still know our security protocols.

This is the person you're looking for.

Not literally.

It's more of a genetic inheritance.

An inheritance from rambaldi?

My sister is innocent.

Rambaldi refers to you as the chosen one,

he implants in your sister's head

the whereabouts of his greatest invention,

and you expect me to believe that neither one of you

is involved in this?

I don't care what you believe.

Last week miss Santos was in the custody

of the covenant.

As a prisoner they nearly killed.

If Lauren Reed broke in using your identity,

she would need to be sure you were out of the office.

Did your sister call you to come see her?

If you want to arrest me...

Hold me under the patriot act.

We're through talking.

The dci will have my preliminary findings

on his desk in 48 hours.

Until that time, you will be reassigned

as a desk officer.

You may go.

I'm not going to kill you.

That would be too easy.

But I'll leave you so disfigured

that when you walk down the street,

people will pity you.

Lauren is going to pay for the damage she's done

to the people I care about,

not for having had an affair with you.

I don't give a rat's ass who she's sleeping with.

So for the last time,

where is she?

How is Marshall?

He's still in the O.R.

18 agents taken to St. John's.

12 treated and released.

Four being held overnight for observation.

And Brandon's not gonna make it out of the icu.

It just makes me sick.

Where's Vaughn?

I haven't seen him

since he finished interrogating sark,

but, uh, word is he worked him over pretty good.

Didn't get any information out of him,

but had to feel pretty good trying.

I'm sure he'll be back soon.

Probably needed to walk it off.

Eric said you took off. Need some company?

No, I'm good.

Where are you?

Doesn't matter.

What does that mean?

Vaughn, what's going on?

I'll lose you all over again.

I have to go.

Are you sure the computation is exact?

It's all good.

Bene.

Bravo.

Someone went through a lot of hoo-ha

to encrypt a longitude...

And a latitude.

What the hell is in palermo?

You're paid to be discreet,

not curious.

It's okay, beautiful.

This will keep my mouth shut.

So will this.

Hi, honey.

I need the tape from the sark interrogation.

Actually, that's been classified.

I want that tape.

No, you don't, not if you want what's best for Vaughn.

You know what he's going to do if we don't stop him.

Yes. He'll get closure.

You want him to kill Lauren.

Not what mom did to you.

I don't know what you've told him

or how much of all this you've orchestrated,

but in some twisted way,

you've got Vaughn carrying your burden,

trying to get you closure by doing the one thing

you never had the chance to do --

kill the person who betrayed you.

I did have the chance.

And I didn't take it.

And I love you too much

to let that happen.

Michael.

Please, I need you to understand.

When the covenant asked me to marry you,

I knew eventually they wanted me

to coax you back into the CIA.

But two years went by,

and I hadn't heard from them.

By then, I convinced myself I never would.

I prayed I wouldn't,

because I'd fallen in love with you.

Shut up!

I am going to erase you.

I'm going to remove any evidence you ever existed.

You used me.

You used my grief.

My work, who I am -- you took that from me.

I'm taking it back.

This is hydrochloric acid.

You'll be unrecognizable.

Michael, I swear I was going to tell you everything.

You remember that night

we went downtown and had dinner?

Instead you told me Sydney was back.

Don't say her name!

She came back, and you didn't need me anymore!

I could see it in your eyes.

Sydney came back, and you -- I said don't say her name!

Sydney came back, and I lost you!

I hate you.

But I love Sydney more.

That's the only reason you're not dying tonight.

Thank God.

Shh! Shh, shh, shh! Quiet.

Listen to me.

This device I'm wearing on my wrist

is masking my heat signature.

I have three minutes before the thermal imagers

detect the malfunction.

I trust that you will allow me that time

which means you know where the rambaldi artifact is.

Now, I gather you never told the CIA.

That is wise, Nadia.

They cannot be trusted.

You expect me to trust you?

After what you put me through?

It was all in an effort to pave the way for us.

Rambaldi wrote about this vessel

in which he was able to house his consciousness,

his essence, his soul.

He referred to it as the sphere of life.

Now you and I can claim it together.

Was it not transcendent?

Was it not divine?

Yes.

It was.

I can see it in your eyes.

You have 20 seconds before the guards detect you.

You should go -- now.

I'm leaving you instructions on how to find me.

I pray you use it.

Oh, my God!

Oh, my God, Vaughn!

What do we got?

35-year-old. Stab wound to the back.

Vaughn? Vaughn?

Respiration's at 18, and tachycardia at 125.

You are going to be okay.

Vaughn?

I heard. Is he still in surgery?

You were right.

Lauren has to pay.

Vaughn is going to be okay, and when he is,

he has to end it, not you.

If it's okay for Vaughn, it's okay for me.

I need your help.

Expedited credentials, transportation.

My advice was specific to her betrayal of him.

Lauren betrayed all of us.

Not in the same way.

She was his wife.

I don't care about any of that now.

I want her to die.

And that's going to happen whether you help me or not.

When I went to meet your contact,

that's okay.

I would have told them, too.

Let me see what they've done to you.

He'll be here soon.

The only way we can get the location

is if I tell him how to access

your contact's information.

He backs up everything on an off-site server.

Tell me you know the pass phrase.

I do.

It's a quote by friedrich Nietzsche.

"God is dead"?

No, the other one.

"Woman was God's second mistake."

Thank you.

Voice modulator courtesy of CIA technical services.

This little trick of yours means Vaughn failed.

Tell me, is he dead?

No, he's not.

But thanks to you, Lauren won't be so lucky.

The equation leads to palermo.

False I.D., passport, driver's license.

A plane from orsi aerospace is standing by

with instructions to take you

wherever you want to go.

If this is the location of the rambaldi artifact,

there will be a strong covenant presence.

I'll be careful.

Let me go instead.

I can't.

I'll cover for you with foster.

What is it?

Nothing.

We'll talk when you get back.

How you doing?

Where's Sydney?

Take it easy, take it easy. Easy. Sit back.

Tell me where she is.

She went after Lauren.

Oh, no. I have to get to her.

No, no, no, no. Mike, you got a punctured lung.

You even breathe wrong, that thing could collapse again.

I have to warn her.

No chance. There's a guard outside the door.

Foster's got the building locked down.

He revoked your clearance pending an investigation

of your rogue op. You're not going anywhere.

I have to get to Syd. She's walking into a trap.

What? What are you talking about?

Lauren didn't stab me.

Katya derevko did.

Vaughn's flatlining! I need help here now!

Pull the covers so I can clear him.

Oh!

Let's go.

Put it down! Vaughn, think about what you're doing, man.

Put down your weapon! Put it in the trash can!

Put it down, guys. Put it down.

Now get in the elevator!

We're trapped in the elevator.

Locking the building down. On our way up.

He's going out the front entrance!

Let's go! Go, go!

Katya.

Sydney.

I could have killed you.

I thought you were a covenant guard.

What are you doing here?

I'm infiltrating the camp, the same as you.

My informant told me

the covenant had been transporting

excavation equipment.

I thought they might have a lead

on the rambaldi artifact.

Have you seen Lauren? Is she here?

She was.

She drove away an hour ago.

Then we'll wait till she gets back

before we make our move.

The covenant agent had been patrolling up here.

We'd better take cover.

Are you alone?

Yes.

How did you know?

I didn't.

But now I do.

We have already hit subsoil.

Hard Clay.

If the artifact is any deeper,

we will need ground penetrating radar

to narrow the search grid.

Then do it.

The artifact is here.

I want it found.

Aah!

Hey, Nadia!

We're ordering Chinese.

You game?

Nadia?

Nadia?

Nadia!

We're coming in!

The covenant solved the equation.

The rambaldi sphere may already be compromised.

When I was drawing,

there were moments as the fluid wore off.

I didn't want to give you what you were looking for.

Which means the covenant has the wrong coordinates.

They're looking for the sphere

in the wrong place.

We should go.

We have a long journey ahead of us.

Come.

If you kill me, you'll never know the truth.

This is the truth!

Sucks, doesn't it?

Do you think the CIA couldn't find you

when you went missing?

Or that you learned what happened to you by chance?

And if your mother's really been helping you

since you left, why haven't you ever spoken to her?

You're trying to buy time.

You can't believe that you and your sister

just happen to both be agents!

This isn't gonna work.

Ahh!

There's a bank in wittenberg.

A numbered vault. Proof --

we're both pawns in the same game.

The difference between us is I know who controls me.

Who controls me?

I guess you'll never know.

Stop!

Aah!

Do it now! Put the gun down!

If you love her, you'll put the gun down.

You really are a boy scout.

I came for you.

6...2.

What was that?

I don't know.

It doesn't matter.

If you have further questions about your account,

please feel free to come to my office

when you're finished.

Thank you.
