| Episode 17: Q&A [Jack and Vaughn meet to discuss Sydney�s imprisonment] Vaughn: Anything? Jack: My FBI contacts don't have access to Sydney's case. It's been classified omega 17. What about Devlin? Vaughn: They're not giving him clearance either. All we know is Sydney's being held locally, being questioned by the FBI but we've got to find out where she is. Jack: Where she is is irrelevant. It's how long she's in custody that concerns me. Sloane wants a meeting with Sydney Tuesday morning. Vaughn: Well, maybe the FBI won't put as much credence in Rambaldi's prophecy as DSR. Jack: That's a miscalculation. 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. Vaughn: What? You're saying that Sydney could be held long enough to blow her cover with SD-6? Jack: Under directive 81A, they could conceivably hold her without trial or charges for the rest of her life. _______________________________________ [During the interrogation of Sydney�s past.] Kendall: Father and daughter, double agents. Sydney: Yes. Kendall: Now, see, this is what doesn't make sense. Why would he recruit his daughter to that environment? Sydney: He wouldn't. He didn't. (Kendall continues to question Sydney�s relationship with her father.) Kendall: And you're sure that Sloane brought you into SD-6 and not your father? Sydney: Why do you ask? Kendall: As far as you've seen, your father's allegiance has always been with the CIA? Sydney: 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. Kendall: Ms. Bristow Sydney: But I will not accept you insulting my father! That is unacceptable! Kendall: It was just a question. Sydney: No it was an accusation! [Jack and Vaughn plot how to discredit the Prophecy and rescue Sydney] Vaughn: Thanks for coming. Jack: I checked out SD-6 security section. They have nothing on Sydney. Vaughn: Well, look at this. There. [Points to a report.] Vaughn: "This woman will have had her effect never having seen the beauty of Mt. Subasio." Now, if the FBI is going to take this prophecy so literally, then every phrase must have equal veracity. Jack: That's right. Vaughn: According to Rambaldi, the woman in question, the subject of this prophecy, will have never seen Mt. Subasio. Meaning if Sydney were to go there and see it herself� Jack: She couldn't possibly be the woman Rambaldi was talking about. Vaughn: That makes sense, doesn't it? I thought that made sense. Jack: That�s good. That's good. Vaughn: I talked to Devlin about this. He put three calls into the FBI directive. He was stonewalled. Jack: The FBI is not in the most cooperative mood. We'll have to extract her. Get her to Italy ourselves. Vaughn: I know Devlin would sanction transit. I mean, we could have a jet ready in an hour. Jack: Question is how to find her. Vaughn: Steven Haladki, he's CIA, works in the LA office. Former FBI. I know he still has ties. Jack: Haladki. I'll talk to him. Vaughn: The problem is he's not talking. Jack: He'll talk to me. [Jack and Haladki �talk� on the hood of Haladki�s car] Jack: 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. Haladki: Moor Park! The federal building on Moor Park. I have the address in my pocket. Jack: They won't keep her there overnight. What's the plan? Haladki: There's a safehouse a half mile away. Jack: When are they transferring her? Haladki: At what time? 5:30. Jack: 5:30? Haladki: That was the plan, I swear to God! Jack: Just so we're clear: you report this conversation, and you'll never wear a hat again. Haladki: I got it. No worries, I got it! [After the daring rescue mission executed by Jack, Vaughn, and Weiss] Sydney: What the hell are you doing? Vaughn: Proving this prophecy is not about you. Jack: Sydney, we'll explain everything when we get there. Sydney: Dad!?! Jack: Hey, honey. [In a warehouse, Jack and Vaughn reveal their theory and plan to Sydney to get her to Mt. Subasio] Vaughn: If the FBI takes this prophecy seriously, the key to your innocence will be in the second paragraph. Jack: Rambaldi wrote that the woman in that picture will never see Mt. Sebacio. Vaughn: That's where you're going. Sydney: Wait a minute� Jack: At the very least, the FBI would have kept you in custody for months. Vaughn: SD-6 would have investigated your disappearance, would have found out the truth. You would have been exposed. Jack: Your going to Mt. Sebacio should give them the proof they need. Sydney: The FBI might have let me go. All this does is make them certain I'm guilty of something! Jack: Sydney� Sydney: Escaping from federal custody and crossing the border into another country proves that I willingly acted in opposition to the American government. Jack: It was either do nothing and get killed by SD-6, or take a risk to protect your cover. Sydney: Well, now I'm a fugitive from justice! Jack: 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. Sydney: You don't know that! Jack: We will have protected a vital CIA asset. You. Your cover will have been maintained. The FBI's not going to want to make a big deal about this. They can't afford the bad press. Weiss: We got to go. Vaughn: I'm going to take you to the jet. You're going to have to get in the trunk. Sydney: What if the FBI was right? What if Rambaldi was right? What if he was talking about me? Jack: Then everything is predetermined and nothing we do makes any difference. If Rambaldi's right, there's nothing to lose. Weiss: Seriously, guys, cops everywhere. Come on. Jack: When you get to Italy, contact me. (Haladki on the phone with the FBI) Haladki: 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. (pause) When? [Sydney calls Jack after she has driven off the pier.] Jack: Yeah? Sydney: It's me. Jack: Sydney, where are you? Sydney: I need to see you now. [Jack and Sydney meet late at night after Sydney�s request.] Jack: What happened to you? The plane is ready to take you to Italy. You need to go now. Sydney: 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 ten 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. Jack: Sydney... 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. Sydney: Mom's alive. I know it. |
