| Episode 20: The Solution [SD-6] Jack to Syd: I heard about Noah. I�m sorry. [Conference room] Jack: We�re good for two minutes. Syd: Dad, it�s Emily. She knows about SD-6. Jack: I know. It�s too late. Your conversation was recorded. Syd: The Alliance knows? Jack: Yes. Syd: And? Jack: Information about SD-6 should be treated like a virus. Sloane: Who? Jack: There is only one response � containment. Sloane: What did you say? Syd: Sloane won�t let this happen. They won�t kill Emily. Jack: The final decision will not be made until Sloane has met with the head of Alliance security. He�s the only one that can save her now. [Bar scene] Will: There are a few things we need to talk about, and, uh, quite frankly you scare me so I�d rather talk about them in a public place. Can I have a beer please? Jack: You want to talk to me, about what? Will: Let�s start with Sydney. Does she know? Jack: I don�t know what you�re talking about. Will: Does she know that you kidnapped me? Jack: Ha ha ha. I think you have me confused with someone else. Will: No, I don�t. I wrote a story. No one�s seen it yet, but if I die, it�s gonna get published. It�s a story I don�t even want to work on anymore. Jack: Will, you seem very upset. Will: Yeah, I am. �Cause it just won�t go away. This source who told me about you won�t let it. I don�t even know where he lives. I don�t know where he works, so you can�t beat it out of me. But he knows. He knows everything. I mean, he gives me hints, and he gives me clues, and he�s never wrong. Now, I don�t � I don�t know if you work for SD-6 or if you�re responsible for the deaths of Daniel Hecht or Eloise Kurtz. I don�t even know if you�re protecting Sydney, or if she needs to be protected from you! Just tell me what you know. Convince me that you put Sydney�s interests first, that in some sick bizarre twist of fate you and I are on the same side. Jack: My concern for Sydney is not yours to judge. Will: Convince me by helping me put a stop to what�s going on. And, uh, in return, I�ll, uh� help you find out who my source is because I got a feeling that he�s somebody you�d like to meet. [Devlin�s house] Jack: There�s been a breach. Without containment our entire operation could be compromised. Devlin: What�s the source? Jack: Best guess � a whistle blower. Well placed within the Agency and access to Omega 17 files. He�s been talking to a reporter. You should put Counterintelligence on it right away. They should start with Steven Haladki. Devlin: Haladki? Jack: Fits the profile. Agent rising in rank, opposed to company policy regarding SD-6. Internal efforts to change policy thwarted. So, he tries to take it out on the building. Devlin: That�s a pretty big charge, Jack. Jack: This source is putting Sydney�s life at risk. DevlinHaladki filed a report on the Prophecy. He said you held him at gunpoint to get information on where the Bureau was holding Sydney. Jack: Yes. And then I used that information to hold other FBI agents at gunpoint in order to free my daughter from a witch hunt. You need to get C.I. on this tonight. Devlin: I want you to stop. I hear your concerns, and I will choose how to respond to them myself. You�re a good agent, Jack. But lately, I find your methods reprehensible. If I hear one more instance of you acting off-book, you�re done. [Middle of nowhere] Jack: I work in intelligence. That is all you need to know. Will: So, the bank, Credit Dauphine, is like a front company or something. Jack: You and I only meet when and where I decide. Never contact me. Will: Okay, when you sat Intelligence, you mean SD-6, right? It�s like some off-the-books division � Jack: We go after the source first. Everything else comes later. Are we clear? Will: Does Sydney know? Jack? Is your daughter a part of this? Jack: No, she�s not. Now� are we clear? Will: Yes. Jack: Do you have a way of contacting your source? Will: Yeah. Yeah, I have a transmitter. It�s a pin. I found it in a box of stuff belonging to Eloise Kurtz. What? Jack: I planted that pin on Eloise Kurtz. Will: Of course. That�s right. Neville said it was government issued. So, you hired her to play Kate Jones so she could lie to me. When she said too much� you had her killed. Jack: I did not kill her but I bear some responsibility for her death as do you. Focus, Mr. Tippin. Do as I instruct or more people will die. Will: Okay, uh� why don�t I contact Deep Throat and insist upon a meeting. And I � Jack: He told you about me. If you ask for a meeting, he�ll know it�s a set up. You will contact him. Tell him you know that it I was the one who kidnapped you and that you are terrified. Then tell him you are back on the story. This meeting never took place. |
