| Episode 10: Spirit [SD-6 Jack is worried that SD-6 has discovered Sydney is a double agent] JACK: Has Sydney Bristow moved her desk? AGENT: Nah. Security section cleared it out about an hour ago. JACK: Steven, what's going on? Talk to me. STEVEN: What do you know? JACK: What do I know? STEVEN: Have you talked to Sloane? JACK: I came to you first. STEVEN: You should talk to Sloane. JACK: Steven, please� STEVEN: Jack, just do me a favor� JACK: I need you to tell me what's happening! STEVEN: You didn't hear this from me. While Sydney and Rusik were in Geneva, a transmission was recorded from her location and it was not one of ours. JACK: You think it was Sydney? STEVEN: This is not the first indication that she... might be working for someone else. JACK: What exactly do they know? ___________________________ [Debriefing Room of SD-6] SLOANE: Anini Hassan is a wanted man. He's been selling arms to K-Directorate and is now, we believe, looking to partner up with one of a number of rogue nations. This is the last documented photograph of Hassan, taken almost a month ago in Madrid. Since then, we've put a lot of manpower into finding him. We've come up with nothing. Last week, thanks to Agent Bristow, we were able to seize a majority fo Mr. Hassan's assets. We were hoping that would help us to smoke him out. We think it has. JACK: Sig. int. picked up a burst of communications originating from this private island. SYDNEY: What's there? JACK: Private resort; more hideout than hideaway. It's a fugitive's paradise -- extradition's notoriously lax. This entire place is heavily secure, but anyone can buy entry for a price. [Jack & Sydney speak near Jack�s desk] JACK: Sydney. I heard about what happened. Are you all right? SYDNEY: I'm fine. JACK: Russek. That was a shock. SYDNEY: You didn't� JACK: What? SYDNEY: Have anything to do with that? JACK: What? Do you mean did I engineer it somehow? No, Sydney, of course not. _____________________ [Jack & Sloane talk in Sloan�s office] JACK: Any intel about where in Havana he might be? SLOANE: No, we don't know. That's why I'm sending you to Cuba. I need you to rendezvous with the usual contacts. Locate Hassan and take care of it. Thank you. JACK: I heard about Russek. And now with Hassan... I understand it's been a difficult week. [Vaughn has been assigned as Jack�s temporary handler] _____________________ JACK: I'm leaving for Cuba in thirty minutes. What's the countermission? VAUGHN: Sloane might want Hassan dead, but the C.I.A. needs him alive. We need his client list. It'll tell us what weapons he sold. Who's got them. It's invaluable. JACK: Mr. Vaughn, I don't need a lesson in the international arms trade. VAUGHN: Fine. Go to Cuba, use your contacts, get to Hassan. But instead of taking him out, you'll tell him the truth. That SD-6 sent you to kill him. You'll then convince him that you're turning on SD-6, that you're planning on leaving them, and that you're willing to fake his death in exchange for his client list. JACK: You're making a huge mistake. VAUGHN: Am I? JACK: Trusting a man like Hassan. VAUGHN: There will be a C.I.A. team waiting there where his death is to be faked. Hassan will never be a free man again. VAUGHN: Hassan will never be a free man again. JACK: I'll make contact by six pm tomorrow. VAUGN: I got a copy of Rusik's transmission. The one SD-6 intercepted. I also went through the C.I.A. logs and compared the two. They don't match. You fixed the transmission. Made it look like it was Rusik by altering the signal's point of origin and changing the message contact. JACK: Whoever the hell you think you are -- checking up on me, pulling my file, second-guessing my choices -- let's just both face the facts. You're not that person. Neither your experience, nor your intelligence has earned you the right to question a thing that I do. Now, I'm going to make two suggestions. One, that you stop it. And two, that the next time they assign you to be my handler, you kindly decline. VAUGHN: Rusik never transmitted a thing, did he? JACK: Of course he didn't. If you got the SD-6 transmission, why the hell are you asking me? VAUGHN: I never got the SD-6 transmission. It was just a hunch. JACK: I'd just learned that my daughter was about to be tortured, Mr. Vaughn. Most likely, executed. I had no time to go for help. JACK: Some of the monitors went out in the op tech room. I want you to check every connection. NOW! JACK: (voice over) I knew that altering the transmission was a dangerous gamble. They could have detected a disruption, but it was all I could do. JACK: And now, you can judge what I've done. I don't give a damn what you do. _______________________ [Jack goes to Cuba. Hassan�s interrogating Jack here] HASSAN: My men, they told me that you have contacted them. How? JACK: I knew how to ask and who to ask for, Nebseni Sahd. That's your new name. I know it. SD-6 knows it. HASSAN: SD-6 is your employer? JACK: Yes. HASSAN: They will learn what happens when they send someone after me. JACK: Wait... I have an offer to make. That's why I'm here... JACK: You think SD-6 ripped you off, so you stole from them and you disappeared. Now they've stolen a good deal of your money and they want you dead. HASSAN: SD-6 will never kill me. JACK: You're too smart to believe that. Think about Isaac Lochan or Ulee Schroeder. They will find you. They have a photograph of you from Samba Island. HASSAN: How? JACK: That's the same question you'll be asking yourself the moment before they kill you. HASSAN: What's your offer? JACK: You have something of value to me. Your client list; I want it. Not for SD-6. For me; for my own personal use. JACK: You give me your client list and I'll give you your freedom. HASSAN: How? JACK: We'll fake your death, you and I, together. And I'll return to SD-6 and show them the photographs. They'll think you're no longer a problem. You'll be free. HASSAN: How do I know that you are not setting me up and how do I know that if I give you my list that I worked decades to assemble, you're not simply going to shoot me anyway? JACK: Because you can trust me. Think about it. I'm the one who contacted your men. If I really wanted to kill you, all I'd have to do is wait. Keep my mouth shut. You didn't know that you'd been ID'd with your new face. You would've walked into town. I could've popped you in the head like a deer. If you say yes to this, we both win -- big. If you say no, we both die. It's your call. HASSAN: Gracias. [To Jack] Interesting! JACK: What? HASSAN: Well... I think you make a good offer, but I still don't know if I can trust you completely. So, prove to me that you are willing to go against SD-6. JACK: Anything. |
