Episode 7: Color Blind
Sydney
is trapped within the walls of Mangalev institute in Bucharest,
Romania. Moments after finding SD-6 Agent Fisher -- his throat,
slashed -- she is immobilized by a tranquilizer, and awakens
in an electroshock tub -- interrogated by K-Directorate agent
Dr. Kreshnik. He demands to know if she received information
from inpatient Martin Shepard, the FTL-trained assassin. Sydney
assures she can extract the coordinates of Parkashoff's body
from Shepard, as they have now established a basis for trust
-- but only if Kreshnik allows her to live. K-Directorate
grants her a stay of execution...until nightfall.
Seizing
an opportunity, she fights off Kreshnik, Ferroq and the orderlies
-- and with Shepard, escapes to a remote CIA safehouse. The
assassin's sight has been impaired by the FTL's tampering
with his memory. When he looks at Sydney, he sees in black
and white and cannot make a clear recollection.
But as
his memory returns, he reveals to her that he was Danny's
killer, deprogrammed by SD-6 Agent McCullough...and Sydney
tries harder than ever to forgive him, in the face of a killing
for which Shepard was not truly responsible.
Vaughn
contacts Jack to meet at a Chinese restaurant -- but Bristow
is none too thrilled about this break in protocol. In turn,
he confronts Vaughn for pulling his CIA file; Vaughn explains
that Sydney wanted to see it because she suspects he used
to have KGB affiliations.
At SD-6,
Sloane informs Marshall that the virus found in the network
was planted by SD-6 itself as part of a security drill. However,
Sloane reveals in a face-off with Alain Christophe, elder
statesman of SD-6 and the deadly Alliance, that SD-6 has set
up a dummy server to catch the worm hacking into SD-6's mainframe.
Christophe suspects one, or even two, moles inside SD-6 and
wants them caught.
Will now
has cold feet -- he fears crossing a line with Sydney by defying
her wishes to let go the details of Danny's murder, but after
having pleaded earlier with his editor Litvack, he finds the
story due for reassignment if he drops it.
Thanksgiving
dinner is served at Sydney's, and Charlie proposes to Francie,
which she accepts joyously. When Jack arrives, he tells Sydney
that the FBI investigated him 20 years earlier, suspecting
he was KGB, leading to the pursuit which forced his car off
the road -- killing her mother Laura.
Back at
SD-6, Sloane has decoded the FTL communique, using Parkashoff's
DNA, which reveals news that another Rambaldi artifact has
been sent for analysis at Oxford's Department of Engineering.
Sloane assigns Sydney to follow...but Vaughn forewarns --
Anna Espinosa was last sighted leaving Bucharest, before Sydney,
and may also be on the job.
