All language subtitles for Alias S01E17 Q & A_Track02

You're being
investigated by the dsr.

They want to know

why your picture's
in the rambaldi book.

They've decoded
some of the text.

And? What did it say?

They're calling it
the prophecy.

Vaughn!

Pursuant
to national security

directive 81-a,

you are now in the custody
of the federal government.

They broke
the rambaldi code correctly.

So what does
the prophecy say?

"This woman here depicted
will possess unseen marks,

"signs that she will be the one
to bring forth my works,

"bind them with fury,

"a burning anger.
Unless prevented,

"at vulgar cost, this woman
will render the greatest power

unto utter desolation."

It's vanilla.

Milk shake.

Will you do me a favor?

Will you remind them
that I cooperated,

that I didn't resist?

I don't need
these restraints.

I'll tell them.

Dsr met with the FBI.

I want to know
what they told them.

The dsr
didn't tell me anything.

Which makes no sense.
You're interagency liaison.

Interagency liaison
doesn't exactly put me

smack dab
in the inner circle.

All right, look,

you and I don't work well
together historically.

We've got this

juvenile
animosity thing going.

That's got to change.

Let's just start over.

Hi. How are you?

I don't know what they're
planning to do to Bristow.

If I were you,
I'd let it go.

This buddy of mine at Princeton,
she actually knows haladki

and says she used to
see him all the time

eating lunch
at the Webster rotunda.

Apparently
that guy's got

the table manners
of a 6-month-old.

I'm going to ask you a question.
I need you to be honest.

Sure.

Do you believe this thing,
this prophecy?

You do, don't you?

No. No, it's ridiculous.

It's ridiculous, but that
picture looks just like her.

Come on. Sydney Bristow's
going to take down the world?

I know, but the DNA sequence,
the heart size --

I mean, they both match
what rambaldi wrote.

Either this thing
is completely insane...

Or it isn't.

Okay, what happened?
The FBI's involved?

There's an FBI tribunal
flying in from D.C.

They're going
to question her

and decide
what the next move is.

Ms. Bristow, I'm special officer
Kendall, FBI.

Ms. Baker, Mr. Dunn.

You're being held under national
security directive 81-a.

Per the directive,

we can legally file
formal charges against you

based on current evidence.

We would appreciate
your cooperation

in answering
a series of questions.

If you choose legal counsel,
then this meeting is canceled

and we'll determine
the charges

based on current evidence.
It's your decision.

I have nothing to hide.

Please state your name
and occupation.

Sydney Bristow.
I'm an intelligence officer

for the United States
government.

Under which agency?
CIA.

How did you come
to work with the CIA?

Don't you already
have a file on me?

We would like this
in your words.

I came to work
with the CIA

through my involvement
with SD-6.

And how did you get involved
with SD-6?

I was a student,
a freshman at college.

One day a man came to me.

He said that he worked
with U.S. intelligence

and that they wanted
to interview me.

And you agreed.

No. No, not at first.

It was actually
the last thing

that I was interested in,
working for the U.S. government.

Despite that,
I found myself wondering

if I could actually
become a spy.

And you believed
that you could.

Sort of,
which is crazy.

I didn't even realize
what being a spy meant.

The truth is,

I didn't love any
of the subjects I was studying.

My father and I
weren't speaking,

my mother had died
when I was 6,

and the highlight
of my social life

was my dorm's
salad bar.

So I called them.

SD-6.

They didn't use that name.

These men led me to believe
they were CIA.

They were very convincing --
are very convincing.

So you met
with an organization

that you believed
was the CIA.

Yes. They had me sign

about 500
nondisclosure agreements,

and they offered me a job.

Just like that.

They had me take a job
as an office assistant

on the 20th floor
of a corporate bank downtown.

I just assumed
that the bank

was somehow affiliated
with the CIA.

They told me
that they would be watching me.

This was
the evaluation phase.

That lasted
for six months,

and then they told me
I was ready for the transition.

The transition?

Eight months
of training, tests,

and propaganda.

Before that,
I had never fired a gun.

I had never thrown a punch.

It was
during the transition

that I first heard
the term SD-6.

And at this time,

you believed that SD-6
was affiliated with the CIA.

Yes, that's right,

that it was a black ops
division of the CIA.

Meaning...

You mean
what is black ops?

A division that is funded
by the CIA's black budget.

Operations
that are highly classified,

even hidden
from congressional oversight.

They led me to believe that
SD-6 was one of these divisions

and that that was why they
didn't operate through Langley.

And you never questioned
that logic?

As I said before,
Mr. Kendall,

they were very convincing.

Now, I might not have been
a genius at 19 years old,

but I was smart enough
to know what questions to ask.

They had
all the right answers.

Says here
you were a genius.

And how did
the transition end?

They made reference
to the SD-6 headquarters.

They told me
they'd take me there.

What I didn't realize
was that getting there

would only require
a ride in the elevator.

The office of SD-6
is located

on sublevel 6
of the credit dauphine building.

The first time
I walked through there,

surrounded by strangers

who I thought were working
for the good of the country,

I felt wildly patriotic.

And then
I met arvin sloane.

So you're Sydney Bristow.

Yes, sir.

Nice to meet you.
I'm arvin sloane.

Welcome to SD-6.

What happens if I need
to go to the bathroom?

I think
we can arrange that.

Anything?
My FBI contacts don't have
access to Sydney's case.

It's been classified omega 17.
What about devlin?

They're not giving him
clearance either.

All we know is that
Sydney's being held locally,

being questioned
by the FBI,

and we've got to find out
where she is.

Where she is
is irrelevant.

It's how long she's in custody
that concerns me.

Sloane wants a meeting
with Sydney Tuesday morning.

Well, maybe the FBI
won't put as much credence

in rambaldi's prophecy
as dsr.

In the current climate,
the FBI's being wildly vigilant.

If another government agency
red flags someone

as a potential
security threat,

the FBI won't be so quick
to let them go.

You're saying that Sydney
could be held long enough

to blow her cover
at SD-6?

Under directive 81-a,

they could conceivably hold her
without trial or charges

for the rest of her life.

Describe your role
within SD-6.

Desk work at first,
but I advanced quickly.

Within the first year,

I was being sent out
on reconnaissance missions.

The whole time believing

that you were working
for the CIA.

Mr. Kendall,
with the exception

of a half dozen
high-level officers,

the entire office believes
they work for the CIA.

And you remained in school
during all of this. Why?

Did SD-6 want you to?

No, no, actually,
they didn't want me to.

It was something
I wanted to do --

become a teacher.

I didn't want
to give that up.

Who is Daniel hecht?

Danny was my fiancé.

Could you tell us
what happened to him, please?

♪ Build me up,
buttercup, baby ♪

♪ then you bring me down

♪ and mess me around,
and then worst of all ♪

♪ you never call, baby,
when you say you will ♪

We had been together
two years

when Danny proposed.

♪ Don't break my heart

I had never told anyone

about my involvement
with SD-6,

but I knew

that if I was going
to marry Danny,

he had to know the truth.

So I told him

that I was a spy.

While I was in taipei
on an operation,

SD-6 had him killed.

So SD-6 murdered
your fiancé.

Yes, they did.

And that didn't seem
extreme to you?

I don't understand
your question.

We're just trying
to determine

how a girl
as brilliant as yourself

could believe that an agency
that could order

the assassination
of an innocent civilian

could actually be affiliated
with the U.S. government.

You're suggesting that I knew
what SD-6 really was all along.

You claim to have learned
the truth about SD-6 when?

Wait a minute.
It wasn't a claim.

It was the truth.

After Danny,

I refused to return
to SD-6,

which they saw
as a betrayal.

That's when
they came after me.

It was that night
that I learned

that my father,

who I was
never very close to,

was also an officer
with SD-6.

Get in.

Daddy?

And I learned who I was
really working for.

About a decade ago,

a pool of agents
went freelance.

The alliance of 12.
What do you know about them?

They're an enemy
of the United States.

They're mercenaries.

I'm one of them.

SD-6 is not a black ops
division of the CIA.

SD-6 is a branch
of the alliance.

You work for the very enemy
you thought you were fighting.

That's impossible.

That was the first time
I heard the truth about SD-6.

The first time.

Make sure Susan gets
donaldson's briefing

on homeland security.
And you know what? Call Josh.

Tell him I'm going to have to
cancel lunch. I'm --

hey, what'd you say before
about haladki?

I don't think
he showers?

That thing
about your friend.

She used to see him
at lunch.

At the Webster rotunda.
Yeah.

You're sure. The Webster rotunda
at the Adams federal building.

Yeah. That's what I said.
Why?

You're not allowed
in the rotunda

unless you're
a ranking FBI officer.

No way.

Hey, you know what?
Excuse me.
You were FBI.

Before you joined the agency,
you were with the bureau.

My history with the FBI
is right on my résumé.

I'll give you a copy.

You know exactly
what FBI protocol is

and you know
where Sydney's being held

and what they're planning
on doing with her.

You have lost your mind.
You know that?

Oh, I've lost my mind?
You're on the witch hunt.

Look, we decoded

47 distinct and verifiable
rambaldi predictions.

The guy hasn't
been wrong once.

Where is she?

What if he's not wrong
about this one either?

What if Sydney Bristow
is a threat?

What if rambaldi
got it right?

What did they tell you

was the objective
of SD-6?

The retrieval and study
of intelligence,

both military
and industrial,

throughout the world,

that is critical
to the superiority

and survival
of the United States of America.

It's the company line.

What does "sd" stand for?

Section desparu --
the section that doesn't exist.

Alain christophe,
one of the alliance founders --

the term was his.

Explain to us
about the alliance of 12.

The alliance is like
a board of directors.

Some are
from the private sector,

but most are
former intelligence officers.

All wealthy.

They started
a company together,

except this company,
the alliance,

trades intelligence.

So you're saying
they're after --

weapons, military secrets,
industrial intel, medical tech,

computer advances,
political agendas --

I mean, anything
the other guy wants.

The other guy being...

Governments, corporations,

wealthy citizens,
families --

it's all black market.
It's organized crime.

Could you give me
an example?

Do you remember

the carbon proxy disaster
in '92?

An accidental
methyl isocyanate leak

at the manufacturing plant
in bangalore, India.

Killed 3,000 people,
another 1,000 disabled.

1996, near kyoto, Japan,

bullet train accidentally
switched tracks and derailed.

150 people were killed.

Last year, in Germany,
a transport plane

suffered mechanical failure
outside Munich.

12 lives were lost.

None of them
were accidents.

Some were acts of revenge.

Others were personal favors

to those who helped
fund the alliance.

Some were distractions

so that local resources
were occupied

so that sd-4 or sd-7

could infiltrate
a building somewhere

and retrieve
sensitive data.

Go on.

After what they did
to Danny,

what they tried to do
to me,

I swore I'd destroy them --

SD-6.

But first I had to
win back their confidence,

so I stole something that
I knew arvin sloane wanted --

a device based on
the design by milo rambaldi.

I'm back.

Then I went to the people

that I thought I'd been
working for all along.

That's where I met
my handler Michael Vaughn.

I thought the job
would be over by Christmas.

It was Vaughn
who made it clear to me

what I was
really up against.

So that's how I became
a double agent.

And a few days later,

your father came to see you

and revealed that he was

a double agent
working for the CIA,

that his job at SD-6
was cover, too.

Yes, that's right.

Father and daughter
double agents.

Yes.

Now, see, this is
what doesn't make sense.

Why would he recruit
his daughter

into that environment?

He wouldn't. He didn't.

Arvin sloane was
a friend of my parents

years before
they were married.

It was sloane's idea
to bring me in.

He didn't tell my father until
after I was active.

Why did sloane
go after you?

I don't know.

And you're sure that sloane
brought you into SD-6,

not your father.

Why do you ask?

As far as you've seen,

your father's allegiance has
always been with the CIA.

Now listen to me.

I have been
very patient with you.

I've even put up
with your implications

that I'm not
to be trusted.

Ms. Bristow --
but I will not accept you
insulting my father.

That is unacceptable.
It was just a question.

No, it was an accusation,
not to mention the fact

that you are
questioning my honor,

my loyalty, based on a prophecy
written in a book

that you wouldn't even have
if it weren't for me.

I think
we should take a break.
No, I want to finish this.

I want to get out of here.
I want to go home.

No, sit down!
Listen to me!

We'll take five.
I want to go home.
I want to just --

wait a minute!

Okay, here we go.
Look at this.

Rocking the cradle. Yes.

"Unless prevented
at vulgar cost,

"this woman will render
the greatest power

unto utter desolation."

Seriously, you're
making yourself crazy.

Vulgar cost?
What's vulgar cost?

Michael, I'm telling you,
I don't know.

"This woman
without pretense

"will have had
her effect,

"never having seen
the beauty of my sky

"behind mt. Sebacio.

Perhaps a single glance
would have quelled her fire."

"Never having seen the beauty
of my sky behind mt. Sebacio."

I think that's
where rambaldi was born.

I got an idea.

Why don't we all go
to mt. Sebacio, huh?

All right, here we go.
Around the world.

What? What just happened?

Thanks for coming.

I checked out
SD-6 security section.

They have nothing
on Sydney.

Well, look at this.

There.

"This woman
will have had her effect

now, if the FBI is going to take
this prophecy so literally,

then every phrase
must have equal veracity.

According to rambaldi,
the woman in question,

the subject
of this prophecy,

will have never seen
mt. Sebacio,

meaning if Sydney
were to go there

and see it herself --

she couldn't be the woman
rambaldi was talking about.

That makes sense, doesn't it?
I thought that made sense.

It's good, it's good.

He put three calls
into the FBI director.

He was stonewalled.

The FBI's not in the most
cooperative mood.

We'll have to extract her.

Get her to Italy ourselves.

I-I know devlin
would sanction transit.

I mean, we can have
a jet ready in an hour.

The question is
how to find her.

Steven haladki. He's CIA,
he works in the L.A. office.

Former FBI.
I know he still has ties.

Haladki.
I'll talk to him.

Oh, no, the problem is
he's not talking.

He'll talk to me.

When we left off,

we were chatting
about your father.

What can you tell me
about your mother?

For most of my life,

I thought that she was
a literature Professor

at ucla.

I thought that she was
a loving mother

and an adoring wife.

Apparently, I couldn't
have been more wrong.

Could you elaborate?

A few months ago,

I noticed
something unusual.

I found cyrillic codes

in old books
that my father had purchased.

I began to suspect him

of having collaborated
with the kgb.

But that wasn't the case,
was it?

No.

Those cyrillic codes
you found in those books --

yes, they were orders
from the kgb,

and, yes,
they were orders to kill.

An agent received those orders
and carried them out.

But, Sydney,
I was not that agent.

Your mother was.

Your mother
was a traitor.

Yes.

A woman who appeared
to be one thing,

but actually was another.

Your mother.

Tell me how she died.

I -- ahem.

I used to think
my mother and father

were driving together.

I was wrong.
My mother was actually alone.

She was being pursued

by an FBI
counterintelligence officer.

The roads were slippery.
There was an accident.

The cars
went into the river.

And after she died,
your father raised you.

Is that right?

No.

He hired a nanny.

Like I said, he and I didn't
have much of a relationship

until recently.

So...

Like your father,
you're a double agent.

Tell us how that works.

It always begins with
something that SD-6 wants --

information, technology,
classified data.

Typically, sloane outlines
the mission objective.

Then Marshall reviews
the tech.

Marshall?

He's our tech guy.

This looks like just a normal
phone that you'd call someone --

"hi, I'm going
to be late for dinner, dad.

Don't wait up for me
or anything."

Biometric sensor.
Now what it does is...

You just barely touch it
and you are knocked out cold.

You -- just like
freebasing thorazine.

Boom, you're out.

Now this looks just like
a normal purse, right?

That you would wear
at the beach or wherever

with, you know,
putting in your...

But it is
a parabolic microphone.

Not only do they
take pictures silently

and have telephoto lenses,
but...

They're super swank.

Once I have
the mission laid out,

I contact the CIA.

I detail the SD-6 operation
on a brown paper bag.

I wait for the CIA
to contact me.

And after the CIA
reviews the mission,

what happens then?

I meet with Vaughn
to get my countermission.

And could you give us
an example of a countermission?

SD-6 sends me to moscow
to get computer disks.

The CIA wants copies.

I'm in the bar.

I can see you.

Are those the files?

If they are, cough.

Get ready
to make a switch.

After I get back
to Los Angeles,

I have to complete
a brush past.

I give the stolen disks
to Vaughn

so that the CIA
can make copies.

Then before I leave
the airport,

Vaughn has to pass
the originals back to me

so that I can deliver them
to sloane,

all without my SD-6 partner
knowing.

Your SD-6 partner.
Dixon.

Dixon believes that SD-6
is affiliated with the CIA.

He doesn't know
that you're a double.

That's right.

Does that ever, uh...

Cause problems?

SD-6 sent us to retrieve
a vaccine

from a plant in badenweiler

and destroy
the empty building.

While I was
in the laboratory,

Dixon was setting
the explosive charge.

What Dixon didn't know,
what I couldn't tell him,

was that the CIA also had
a team in that building.

I've got a bomb
to disengage.

Yeah, please.
We'd appreciate it.

My CIA countermission

included disarming
Dixon's bomb.

Did you get the inhalers?

We're good.

I knew Dixon's detonator
wouldn't work.

And that was the plan.

Come on.
We got to go.

I brought
a secondary detonator

in case there was
a frequency jam.

Let's go.

Can we --

can we take a break, please?
Just for a minute.

I have no desire
to blow your head off

or ruin your paint job,
but I will do both

unless you tell me where
the hell Sydney Bristow is.

I have the address
in my pocket.

They won't keep her there
overnight. What's the plan?

There's a safe house
half a mile away.

When are they
transferring her?

At what time? 5:30.

5:30.
That was the plan.
I swear to God.

Just so we're clear,
you report this conversation

and you'll never
wear a hat again.

I got it.

No worries.

I got it.

We need a list of people

who are aware
of your double agent status.

It's a short list.

Besides the CIA,
only my father knows.

You've never told
anyone else?

No.

After what happened
to Danny,

I thought
it might be a good idea

to keep my mouth shut.

You know what?

I'm going to call the bank.
I'm going to quit for you.

To you, my job might seem
pointless and stupid,

but it's not.
It's far from pointless.

And if you even knew
what I dealt with every day,

you might thank me
for doing my job so well.

What the hell
are you talking about?

Nothing.

I'm going to work.

So you have a hard time
keeping secrets.

No, I don't have a hard time
keeping a secret.

What I don't enjoy
is lying to my friends,

or being in a constant state
of jet lag

from flying
to far corners of the world

for a man
that I wish were dead.

Sloane.

Yes.

Sloane.

What does SD-6 want?

What is their priority?

At the moment,
it's rambaldi.

What can you tell me
about him?

Milo rambaldi

was pope Alexander vi's
chief architect.

He was an artist,
an inventor.

His designs were
so technologically advanced

that at the time,

they thought he was a heretic,
and he was executed.

Now, 500 years later,

many believe
he was a prophet,

and SD-6, CIA, gru,
k-directorate --

the entire
intelligence world

is on a rambaldi
scavenger hunt.

Why?

They assume
that rambaldi

had some sort
of master plan,

which was
recently confirmed

following my trip
to Argentina.

In that book,

rambaldi refers
to a single construction.

The agencies don't know
what it is yet,

but they're all afraid the other
guy's going to get it first.

I just have
one more question.

Do you believe
rambaldi was a prophet?

Do you?

You're not going
to let me go, are you?

We're done for today.

Don't move! Get down!
Down!

You -- come with us!

Let's go!

Go, go.

We've got a silver van,
California license plate 4...

You're going to be okay.

What the hell
are you doing?

Proving this prophecy
is not about you.

Sydney, we'll explain
everything when we get there.

Dad?
Hey, honey.

If the FBI
takes this prophecy seriously,

the key to your innocence
will be the second paragraph.

Rambaldi wrote that
the woman in that picture

will have never seen
mt. Sebacio.

At the very least,
the FBI would have

SD-6 would have
investigated your disappearance.

You would have
been exposed.

Your going
to mt. Sebacio

should give them
the proof they need to --

the FBI
might have let me go.

All this does is make them
certain I'm guilty of something.

Escaping
from federal custody

and crossing the border
into another country

proves that I willingly
acted in opposition

to the American government.

It was either do nothing
and get killed by SD-6

or take a risk
to protect your cover.

Well, now I'm
a fugitive from justice.

Not for long.
Once you get to Italy,

we'll alert all agencies
of our actions

and your location.
They'll extract you

and you'll no longer
be a suspect.

You don't know that.

We will have protected
a vital CIA asset -- you.

Your cover
will have been maintained.

FBI's not going to want
to make a big deal out of this.

They can't afford
the press.

We got to go.

I'm going
to take you to the jet.

You're going to have to
get in the trunk.

What if the FBI was right?
What if rambaldi was right?

What if he was talking
about me?

Then everything's
predetermined

and nothing we do
makes any difference.

If rambaldi's right,
there's nothing to lose.

Seriously, guys,
cops are everywhere. Come on.

When you get to Italy,
contact me.

So we can speak.

Alan, it's Steven.

Listen, I need to tell you
something that happened today.

No, I'm not okay, actually.

I did a stupid thing,

and I'll take
full responsibility for it.

Jack Bristow came
to see me earlier.

I told him about
Sydney's transfer time.

When?

Are you all right?

You didn't think about it --
not once --

the possibility that rambaldi
could be right about me.

No, I didn't.

Why not?

'Cause I believe in you.

Do you think I'd just
throw anyone in my trunk?

Ha ha.

I just checked
with transportation.

Four vehicles
were taken out today.

I have their makes
and license plates. Ready?

You're going to take that car
over there to dozier field.

There's a jet waiting
to take you to Italy.

Be careful.

You too.

No, no, no, no,
no, no, no.

L.A.P.D. Is in
pursuit of a blue sedan...

Every day there's
another one of these.

They're so stupid.

I know. Why doesn't
the guy just give up?

Totally. It's not like
you can escape.

I mean, it's stupid.

...80 Miles an hour and
weaving in and out of traffic.

Hold it there!

Switch your engine off now!

Look at that guy.

This is the part
where he gets out of his car

and surrenders
every time.

Turn off the engine and step
away from the vehicle now!

Keep your hands up!

Keep your hands
where we can see them!

Oh, my God.
Wow.

Yeah.

It's me.

Sydney, where are you?

I need to see you now.

What happened to you?

That plane is ready
to take you to Italy.

You need to go now.

I know, but I needed
to see you first.

Dad, I just drove a car
into the ocean.

I knew the police
were waiting for me.

I used the air
from the tires.

I was breathing underwater
for 10 minutes

before I started to swim.

And as that car
started to fill with water,

I knew what my mother had done
in the same situation.

Dad, she could have
planned that accident.
Sydney.

It makes sense.

She was deceitful.

She was cruel, ruthless.

And in rambaldi's prophecy
he uses details like --

like that DNA sequencing.

Dad, I inherited that.

I mean,
it's either mom or me.

I know it's not me.

Mom's alive.

I know it.
