| Episode 11: The Confession [Havana - Jack pointing gun at Sydney] JACK: Shooting this agent proves nothing. HASSAN: To me it proves everything. You come to me and make and you make me an offer. You tell me that you�re willing to work against SD-6 and that you�re working alone, then she shows up. JACK: Obviously, SD-6 sent her here without my knowledge. HASSAN: Well, then you should have no problem whatsoever proving your loyalty to me. Kill this agent and I�ll believe you and I�ll accept your offer. And if you choose not to, then I�ll have to choice and just have to say goodbye to the both of you. JACK: Don�t do it! Hands in the air now! SYDNEY: It took me a second to realize what you were doing. JACK: I was blinking as fast as I could. SYDNEY: I know. I was like, �Hard on your light?� JACK: Guard on your right. SYDNEY: Well, I figured it out. I was never any good at Morse code. Dad, you were shot. JACK: It�s nothing. [To Hassan] Call your guards. Tell them to meet you out back we�re going out front. We�re fluent in Arabic so just do as I say. [they exchange words in Arabic] [in car] HASSAN: So, now what? You�ll take me to the mountains and kill me? JACK: The plan doesn�t change. You�re still going to give me your client list and I�m still going to make sure SD-6 thinks you�re dead. HASSAN [chuckling]: I don�t care who you work for, as long as you let me go. [at safehouse] JACK: Okay, get up. HASSAN: You know how much this suit cost me? It�s not cheap, you know. JACK: Give me your client list. [Sydney looks up from what she's doing, looks at Jack kind of surprised] HASSAN: There you are. You said you had a way for me to get out of Cuba. JACK: Oh, yes. I do. [elbows Hassan in the face] It was two years ago -- of course I knew you were working for SD-6 -- I heard that you were sent to Memphis, Egypt, to meet with this jackass. It turned my stomach that you were in this business. SYDNEY: Come here. I think you�ve got a lacerated blood vessel. JACK: I�m all right. SYDNEY: Dad, can I ask you something? When you started with SD-6, you knew that they were a mercenary group and that they had no connection with the CIA. But I didn�t. When I joined, I thought I was going to be saving the world, not making it more dangerous. JACK: What�s the question? SYDNEY: Why didn�t you say something? I mean you could have told me what I was really doing -- damage instead of good. But you kept quiet. JACK: Revealing the truth about what you were doing, would have required revealing the truth about what I was doing. [at helicopter] JACK: I�ll see you. SYDNEY: Okay. [SD-6 - Sloane�s office] SLOANE: I�m glad you got back safely. To tell you the truth, I was a little nervous. JACK: You know I�ve been through far worse than Havana. We both have. SLOANE: Yeah. When I didn�t hear from you, I thought maybe Hassan had gotten a lead. Maybe he knew you were coming. JACK: I was unsure of that myself, but it all worked out. SLOANE: Not for Hassan. JACK: No, not for him. SLOANE: Thank you. JACK: It�s my job. [SD-6] JACK: Sydney. [pulls out de-scrambler] In Cuba, I should have said that, um� I wanted to say thank you for coming. I know that was something that you uh, that you certainly didn�t have to do. SYDNEY: It�s okay, Dad. JACK: Wait. There is something else. There are um� there are so many things that, that I should probably do, I mean as a father. Things I should ask and say. SYDNEY: Dad, it�s all right. Really. [Sydney walks away as the pen beeps, leaving Jack all alone] [SD-6] SYDNEY [VO]: Dad, I know you�ve made mistakes, we both have. [she walks through the building] And I know that given the chance, you�d go back and take a different path. That you�d right the things you did wrong. [she hands Jack a slip of paper] My point is, something went wrong last week and I have the chance to correct it. [she walks away] But I need you help. Please, [he looks up and she looks back and nods] you have to make Sloane believe that you�ve received intel on Hassan�s weapons stockpile. JACK: Arvin, We just received some intel. I think we have the location to Hassan�s weapons stockpile. SLOANE: You�re looking at an E.M. Refractor used to cloak missiles. It�s being stored on the island of Crete. Thanks to your father�s Middle Eastern contacts, we know where to go. SYDNEY: Good work. [Jack gives her a warning look and she looks back down] SLOANE: Got to Marshall. He�ll review the op tech. You leave in the morning. SYDNEY: Okay. [CIA] [Sydney and Vaughn are waiting at a table. Then a group of agents start walking in] SYDNEY: It�s a big meeting. VAUGHN: I know. I don�t get it. [Then Devlin comes in and finally Jack] JACK: This is CIA Director Devlin, Deputy Director Tucker, Executive Director Gerstner and these are Senior Officers Haley, Stafford and Collum. I knew weeks ago that my file had been pulled and that you were suspicious of my activities 25 years ago regarding the KGB. When I learned that you had scheduled a meeting with Mr. Devlin regarding my history, I knew that it was time. Let me say in advance, I�m sorry to make this such a public display, but I felt it was important to do it in front of these people because they already know the truth and because that I didn�t think that you would believe me otherwise. 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, murdered officers of the CIA including your father Mr. Vaughn. All this is true. But Sydney, I was not that agent. Your mother was. |
