Previously on "alias"...

Hello, arvin.

Hello, Gordon.

So you're my mysterious benefactor?

Your security clearance hasn't been reinstated.

My chances of returning to a.P.O. Are slim.

I need you at a.P.O.

I had to dig through my friends yesterday

because of Gordon Dean.

If I can help you stop him, then that's what I need to do.

3rd and 5. Williams drops back to pass...

Hey, dad, Fiona wants to know if I can come over

and study for awhile. Maybe tomorrow night, okay, kiddo?

Oh, I left another message.

Look, you know she's always traveling.

I mean, where is she now, Europe?

Yeah, but she usually calls.

Oh, come--that's okay. I got it.

It's probably just, you know, a circuit breaker.

Oh!

Hey!

How much do they know?

Not much...

That this is a government facility,

that they're here for their own protection.

I've ruined their lives.

They can't go home. They can't go back to work.

They can't even say good-bye to their friends.

Because it's not safe. You know that.

There were taps on their phones.

There was surveillance equipment.

Witness Protection is the best way to ensure their safety.

They say I won't even be able to call them.

How am I supposed to do this alone?

You do it because you don't have a choice...

Because you want the world to be safe for the people you love.

I know some people

think I'm crazy, still working like this,

but I can't go home and sit there

and just be pregnant.

Not when the men who killed Vaughn are still out there.

It's my responsibility to stop them

so this baby can be safe...

So you can be with your family.

We're kind of a weird family.

We actually like each other.

Then go in there and let them see you're okay.

That's all they care about.

Okay.

Oh, my God! Rachel!

I wanted to call. I just--I couldn't.

We were worried something had happened to you.

Something did happen, and that's why you're here.

Oh, where do I begin?

Okay...

Rachel Gibson's family has been moved

to a witness protection program.

We knew that might happen.

I will not hurt Rachel or anyone else from a.P.O.

It was not part of our agreement.

Our agreement is whatever I say it is.

I'm the one who got you out of prison,

and I can easily put you back.

Let me say this again.

I will not hurt those people.

I'm not telling you to-- not yet, at least.

But we both know you'll do

whatever it takes to save your daughter.

If that means you have to hurt a few people along the way,

well, so be it.

Are we finished?

Have you heard of a weapons designer named janos vak?

No.

We've been after him for some time.

He's disappeared.

I want you to use your resources at a.P.O. And find him.

What would your colleagues do

if they knew you answered to me...

That you were betraying them on a daily basis?

Same thing I hope to do to you someday.

Call me when you find vak.

Now that arvin's returned in the capacity

of assistant director, I've asked him to read

Rachel Gibson's debriefing.

I believe his unique insights into a covert organization

like the shed will be extremely useful to us.

Thank you, Jack.

This is an extremely well-insulated organization.

Of all the names mentioned in the debrief,

there was only one that I recognized immediately--

a weapons designer named janos vak.

Mr. vak is a Hungarian national.

For the past decade, he has specialized

in designing targeting software.

His present obsession--

he calls it "lasso technology."

D.O.D.'S been worried about this.

It's a software program that would allow an incoming missile

to be electronically intercepted and redirected. Right. Basically, you could lasso a missile

that was headed for a military target, say in the middle east,

and then redirect it to Switzerland, you know?

And then the Swiss call, and they're like,

"hey, we're neutral, remember?" Thank you, Marshall. I think we all understand.

Right. That was just a hypothetical--

based on Ms. Gibson's statement, Gordon Dean has been trying

to locate vak for the past six months.

Arvin has suggested, and I agree,

that if we can find vak first, we can then use him as bait

to catch Gordon Dean.

In the past, he has been known to frequently partner

with an Algerian arms broker.

Evidently, they had a meeting a few months ago.

Nobody has heard from vak since. The Algerian underworld

is particularly difficult to penetrate.

I think I know someone who can do it.

Renie rienne.

Yeah.

Make contact with her.

See if she can get a lead on janos vak.

Sydney, I haven't had a chance to thank you

for the letter of recommendation you wrote to the tribunal.

I know it helped

persuade the judges regarding my release.

You're welcome.

Look, there's something I need to confess to you,

and I hope you don't judge me too harshly for it.

Every day I go to the hospital to visit Nadia.

I get off at her floor, talk to the doctors.

And yet, I cannot set foot into her room.

I can't bear to see her hooked up to all those machines,

knowing that it's my fault.

I know you'll do everything in your power

to find a cure for Nadia.

Yes, I will.

I will do whatever it takes to save my daughter.

Aah!

Aah!

Sorry.

No, uh, you can use the bag. I'm done.

No, I don't really like to work out around other people.

Hey... I could use somebody to spar with.

I don't really... spar.

I don't either.

Which is why I could really use your help.

Don't want to get my ass kicked in the field.

What do you say?

How many fights you been in? I don't know. Enough.

You win?

Of course.

Mostly.

Why, what did you hear?

Nothing. I've just never been in any real fights.

I kind of want to know what to do.

Not that. Don't ever do that spinning kung fu crap.

You'll get yourself killed.

Okay, fine. What should I be doing?

All right.

For real?

I fight dirty.

Dirty?

Go for the eyes, the throat, the nuts. The nuts?

Cause as much damage,

inflict as much pain as humanly possible.

I don't know if I can do that.

Well, then you shouldn't be here.

I'm serious! Look, everybody is taking care of you.

If they can't depend on you...

Just go pack up your playthings! Go home to mom and--

that was better.

I want to see more of that.

Tom grace.

Got it.

Briefing in 15.

Renie located the Algerian arms dealer.

The lasso technology is no longer a rumor.

Janos vak designed a program

to intercept and redirect missiles.

According to the arms dealer, three months ago,

vak met with a Chinese official who bought the new weapon.

Do we know where vak is now?

No one's seen him since the meet.

He's just dropped off the planet.

Which is why we're going to pursue the Chinese official.

His name is general li yum sung,

and he's staying at the Chinese consulate in Bombay.

The general is marrying an Indian woman next month.

The consulate is throwing them an engagement party.

I've checked with our contact in Indian intelligence.

He says the general keeps an encrypted copy

of his contacts and schedule in a safe in his room.

They should lead us to vak.

Sydney, you're to break into the general's safe

agents Dixon and grace will offer support.

Marshall and miss Gibson will run op tech. Good luck.

Doesn't the man know it's kind of hard to break

into his safe if he's sitting right in front of it?

I don't think he's coming down tonight.

See that woman over there? That's the general's fiancée.

She looks pretty unhappy.

I think the general might be having second thoughts.

- Hey, Marshall? - Go, Phoenix.

What's going on upstairs?

Wait for uno momento, pro favor.

Uh... okay, looks like all's quiet.

Just one soldier outside the general's door,

very sharply dressed.

We've got to go about this a different way.

Remember the prince in Bahrain?

The guy with the harem?

What are you talking about? I'll need your watch.

It's okay, I'm not really here.

Just follow me.

I am sorry,

but I cannot allow you to marry the other man.

You belong to me.

It is time we told the world the truth.

Our love cannot be denied.

Ay, yi, yi! Marry me, naomika.

Let us share our joy with everyone!

Let go of me!

I know that you love me! Uh, the lady said let her go.

Let her go! Hey! We are destined for each other, naomika.

Tell them!

Tell them!

Ohh! Hey!

Ours is a forbidden love!

She improvised that whole thing.

Yeah, who'd think you could turn a pregnancy into an alias? And in Chinese.

Listen, I've had to do a little alias magic myself

to save the day a few times.

Do you know what a spork is? They're letting her in.

I just need more time.

I just...

Need more time.

It's okay. It's still early.

Okay, Marshall, I'm ready.

Okay...

You know what? I'm not getting a reading, Phoenix.

There must be too much shielding in the building.

Are you saying you can't do it?

Well, no. Of course not.

All right, Phoenix, this is gonna take a sec.

I need to set a relay closer to the building

so I can boost your signal.

Copy that. Got it.

I can do it. You'll need to be here when it's activated.

It'll be faster this way.

Thanks.

Okay.

Thank you for your help. He's not a bad guy.

He's just had his heart broken.

I'll get him home.

Thanks.

Heads up, Phoenix. Fiancée's moving your way.

Marshall, what's the e.T.A.?

Oracle, what's your status?

Relay's set. Okay.

Hang on a sec.

Great. We're at five by five.

Way to go.

I've got it. I'm on my way.

I'm busted.

East side of the building. Wait for Sydney.

Get down.

You okay?

If by okay you mean freaked and embarrassed,

then yeah, I'm great.

Finding everything okay?

Yes, thank you.

Oh, I'd like to get this, please. Okay, great.

We get so many dads in the store these days.

I don't think my husband ever bought so much as a diaper.

Yeah.

My dad wasn't exactly hands-on either.

What about your husband? Is he doing his part?

He's been great. Wishes he could do more.

I love hearing that.

Times sure have changed.

Yeah.

Hello.

Hello.

You altered a suit for me.

Here's the ticket.

Oh, yes, why don't you wait in the back,

and I'll bring it to you?

Thank you.

You should've told me about the Chinese consulate

before your team went in.

There was no reason to complicate things.

Anyway, I assumed that you wanted a.P.O.

To do the heavy lifting.

You don't get to assume anything.

Did you locate janos vak?

The intel was encrypted.

I'll have an answer for you before the end of the day.

Call me when you do.

I don't have time to explain. Yeah, she's here now, thank you.

Hey. Hey.

We found vak.

He's secluded on an oil platform in the South China sea

while he finishes his software program.

Marshall's still pinpointing the exact coordinates.

Great. How are we going in?

We're not.

We're backup.

Who's my dad sending?

Rachel Gibson. Rachel?

He's sending her in solo?

Why would he do that?

The Chinese government has suspended all shore leave

for the men working on the platform.

No one gets on or off until vak is done.

The sole exception is that every other weekend

vak is allowed... Female companionship.

We can't send her in alone.

Rachel's incredibly bright. You've seen it yourself.

You saw what happened on our last mission. She ran.

The mission was a success, Sydney.

You may not want to hear it,

but this isn't an assignment you can do.

You know it as well as I do.

She's not ready.

At least delay the mission a few weeks.

Just give her time to train.

That's not an option. If we're going to use

vak and his weapon as bait to catch Gordon Dean,

we can't afford to wait.

This is no different than we you were

sent back into SD-6.

It's completely different.

I had Vaughn.

And Rachel will have you.

Okay, once you see vak alone,

you'll need to knock him out, right? You know, I don't mean,

you know, like, rock 'em, sock 'em, knock him out.

It's more of a, um, actually, here we go.

Okay, take a look. Right here, this looks like

a normal lipstick. It's a very nice shade of red.

I think it would look good--but, anyway,

touch it anywhere on his skin,

it'll knock him out for at least two hours.

By the time he wakes up, he'll think he had

the time of his life.

You--you'll be on a chopper halfway home.

Oh, and, also...

I spring-loaded an ice pick into here.

You know, just in case.

But you're probably not gonna... need that.

I mean, I'm sure you'll be...

You'll be fine.

Are you about ready?

I've been going to the firing range every night

so that when the time came, I'd be ready.

Of course, on my first solo mission,

I have to go in unarmed.

Jack wouldn't send you in if he didn't have complete faith

in your ability to succeed.

I appreciate you saying that,

but I know what everyone is thinking.

I'm the new girl. I panicked on the last mission.

And everybody is asking whether or not I can do it.

And the truth is--

I don't know.

I'm terrified.

But I'm more terrified of not trying.

So...

I'm gonna put on my strappy shoes

and my teeny dress, and I'm gonna try.

And by this time tomorrow,

we'll know whether I can do it or not.

Janos vak has been found.

The details are in here.

A.P.O. Is sending in your former associate Rachel Gibson.

She's going in solo to get the weapons design.

Gibson? Alone?

Once she acquires it, I'll swap it out.

I'll get you the real program.

Did he just say they're sending Rachel?

I don't trust sloane.

We're not gonna wait.

I want you to get the weapon yourself.

Is there a problem?

It'll just be strange if Rachel and I cross paths.

She thought I was her best friend.

Look, if we could've convinced her

to play on our side, we would have.

But things didn't go that way.

So if I run into her?

Show her the professional courtesy

of putting a bullet in her head.

this is a mistake.

I've never done anything like this

with the wig and the dress and...

What am I gonna say to him?

Well, it isn't what you'd say.

Remember, you're playing a character.

It's what she would say.

Who was the sluttiest girl in your high school?

Mandy camarillo.

You didn't have to think very hard on that one.

Tramp stole my date at junior prom.

She had red hair and a pierced tongue.

Okay, so you're Mandy camarillo,

and janos vak is your prom date.

Just say what she'd say.

You're not gonna be alone, Rachel. Not for a second.

I'll be on comms the whole time,

the way Vaughn was for me.

It helps a lot-- having you.

I can do this, right?

Absolutely.

Sydney?

Okay, I'm with you, Rachel, just breathe.

You're so cute. They didn't tell me you'd be so cute.

You do speak English, don't you?

I mean, they told me you would speak English.

Of course, English. I love English.

Nice to meet you.

I am janos.

Ray--

Mandy.

Raymandy?

A beautiful name.

So this is where you live, huh?

It's pretty sweet.

Only for a few more days.

My business here is almost done.

You must get very lonely.

Well, yes, which is why I'm so happy to see you.

Perhaps you would be more comfortable

over here on the bed, raymandy.

No, I'm, uh, I'm good.

Come on, Rachel.

What would Mandy do?

Do you know how to make daiquiris?

I have champagne.

Even better.

Idiot.

Uh-oh.

What do you mean, "uh-oh?"

I dropped my lipstick.

Not a problem,

your lips are absolutely perfect just the way they are.

Don't let him kiss you. You're the one in charge.

Let me show you.

Has baby been bad?

Oh, this is gonna be too easy, Rachel.

Raymandy, you're driving me crazy!

Did I say you could talk?

Aah!

You've been a very bad boy.

I'm sorry.

Mm-hmm. But you know what?

I'm gonna be honest with you.

This whole "baby talk" thing kinda creeps me out.

So I'm just gonna cut to the chase, okay?

I gotta go.

Downloading now. You're doing great.

Phoenix, I've got the data. I destroyed the original.

Copy that. Almost home.

Phoenix, I've got a small problem.

There's a dead solider and the boat's gone.

Copy that. I'm sending in an emergency extraction. Outrigger?

We heard, Phoenix. We're on our way.

Rendezvous in approximately five minutes.

Did you hear that, Rachel? You're gonna be fine.

Just make your way to the helideck. Copy that.

Surprise.

My God, you're-- not dead?

I was gonna say evil.

Tell me I'm wrong.

Let's just say we work for different teams.

You knew this whole time. You were in on it with Dean!

I wanted to tell you.

You blew up that building and you killed all those people.

It wasn't personal. I... I always liked you.

It was a lie-- everything we did!

That's enough.

And now you're gonna kill me.

That's what Dean wants.

You've made it really hard for him since you left.

Like I said--

I always liked you.

I don't want to kill you.

Just give me vak's software program

and you walk away from this.

Rachel, we can always track Peyton

after she leaves the platform.

If you believe she'll let you live, give her the data.

Your life is more important than the mission.

Come on, Rachel.

You're in way over your head.

Don't make me shoot you.

Give me the disk.

Okay.

You've got two seconds. One...

Here.

You bitch!

You should've given me the disk.

You were gonna kill me anyway.

Yeah.

But I would've felt bad about it.

Now it's gonna be fun.

Still having fun?

You're late.

I told you none of my people were to get hurt.

I do what I want, when I want. Now where is it?

You didn't trust me

and you nearly ruined the entire operation. I want the weapon.

You don't get to have it.

That's my price for your mistake.

My mistake?

I'm not the one responsible for 100,000 deaths.

I'm not the one dangling on the end of a fish hook.

I'm the one who decides if the little fish

gets thrown back into the pond,

or if it gets flushed down the toilet. Am I being clear?

You don't get vak's weapon.

How's your daughter?

Nadia has nothing to do with this.

Oh, sure she does.

I want a copy of the lasso software

first thing in the morning.

Your father's kind of scary.

Tell me about it.

But he said we all did good so...

No, you did great.

Thanks...

For being in my head.

You're welcome.

I know how important that voice can be.

Vaughn talked me through all my early missions

with the c.I.A.

Sometimes his voice

was the only thing that kept me going.

I wish I could've met him.

I'll see you tomorrow.

You okay?

Just having some trouble picking the lock.

My fingers are kinda numb.

Look, you're almost home.

Just get inside and plant the bug.

That's easy for you to say.

It's 20-below out here. You're nice and warm.

I'll tell you what, I'll talk to Langley,

see if we can send you someplace warm next time.

It should have a beach.

Absolutely.

I'll find a bad guy who owns a really nice beach resort,

and you'll have to go undercover for like, a month.

You know what? That sounds pretty dangerous.

Maybe we both should go.

You'd do that for me?

Hey, we're in this together, right?
