The first time I learned of Prophet Five,
my fianc� was gunned down in front of me.
Turns out he wasn't the first.
They killed anyone who got too close.
They'd infiltrated the highest levels of governments
and the inner sanctums of intelligence agencies.
They appeared to control entire sectors of technology, finance, defense.
We believed they were run by a group of 12
whose power was everywhere and nowhere,
because no one knew who they were...
until now.
I've lived with secrets all my life, and I'm done.
- Don't believe I've seen you here before. - A vodka martini, please. Dry.
- Got visual conformation. - Copy that, I'm standing by.
- Got it. - Understood. Good work.
Mr. Kheel, Ms. McMullen, of course. Your party is waiting. Right this way.
- This is Phoenix, do you read? - Go ahead.
Kheel and McMullen, I remember those names.
- They're in the Prophet Five archive. - Pulling it up now.
McMullen and Kheel. You're right. They're members of Prophet Five.
- They're here. - Can you get their picture?
- I think so. I'll have to improvise. - Don't risk blowing your cover.
I won't.
Outrigger, what's your status?
- I'm in position. - Copy. Any sign of your target?
Standing by.
Come on. Turn around.
Target acquired. I'm done here.
I got a nasty skin condition.
You do not want to see me without my shirt.
It's not a... It's not a pretty sight.
Ooh! Time flies in the old steam room.
Has it really been six minutes? It feels like... two.
I'm gonna run. Nice talking with you.
Sorry.
Son of a bitch! Why do I always get the assignments that involve hypothermia?
'Cause you're late to briefings.
Dammit.
Visuals acquired.
Oh, I am really sorry, Debbie.
- Phoenix, do you copy? - Phoenix here.
I'm signing off. Can you handle this?
- I'm on it. Good luck, Dad. - Likewise.
Would you mind? It's for my granddaughter.
- Sure. - Try to get the Capitol in the back.
Smile!
Excuse me. What do you think you're doing?
Oh, hey, I'm covering for Debbie. She said she cleared it, didn't she?
- No. - OK, well, she said she did.
She had some kind of family emergency. Her sister was sick. The gross kind.
- It's good of you to fill in. - I need the tips. It's expensive down under.
Mate, we got a situation down here.
Excuse me. How did you say you knew Debbie?
Hey!
Now we know who we're fighting.
Now that we know who the 12 are, we've filled in details,
none of which are reassuring.
Between them, these people wield enormous power.
Their global reach is... well, global.
We know who they are. Why don't we just take them in?
Unfortunately, it's not that simple. We need to make the right move.
We need to arrest them simultaneously.
We need a program to track their movements.
Input the visuals and data we have on the 12 and cross-reference everything.
OK. That should just take me a lifetime. That's really...
- No problem, I'll get right on that. - What about Sloane?
We're operating under the assumption that he's working for the 12.
We take them down - we get to him.
The 12 have been searching for this for a long time.
- Since before you were born. - Don't get too attached.
They're expecting it to be turned over. I should get going.
Have you ever considered what would happen if you did that?
Once Prophet Five has the amulet, their use for you - for all of us -
would be limited. Unless we find a way of solidifying our position.
Making ourselves less expendable.
That's a very bold move, Arvin.
Trying to cut a side deal with one of their top assets?
I'm well aware that you can tell them what I'm proposing.
It might curry you some favor.
Save your life... temporarily.
But you're like me. You have good instincts for self-preservation.
Perhaps the fact that you'll be compensated for your efforts.
So does he come with the package?
- I assume that means you're interested? - What do you have in mind?
- Hey. - Oh, hey.
Isabelle's gonna be up in two hours.
I can't sleep.
I can see why. This stuff would give anyone nightmares.
The man that gave me the amulet told me that what was inside was the end of nature.
And that stars would fall from the sky.
No matter what I did, I couldn't stop it.
Well, consider the source.
A prisoner in a maximum security prison.
He recognized me. He knew who I was.
Weird, yeah. Not conclusive.
- What if he's right? - He's not.
How can you say that? With everything we've seen.
"This woman without pretense... " That would be you.
"... will have her effect, never seeing the beauty of my sky behind Mount Subasio. "
Wordy and wrong. All this talk about prophecy and fate -
you disproved it. You climbed Mount Subasio and saw the sky.
- It's not just that. - Sloane?
I keep thinking about all the people he's killed.
Including his own daughter.
I know what it's like to grow up without a mom.
I don't want that for Isabelle, she needs me.
Which is why we won't let that happen.
- You promise? - I promise.
Hey.
Mm. Your hair smells like fruit.
Mm. Mitchell threw apple sauce at my head this afternoon.
- I didn't get a chance to wash it out. - Don't worry. I find it very attractive.
- You do realize I'm half asleep, right? - Perhaps I can inspire you to wake up.
Daddy!
Or perhaps you could go check on Mitchell.
Right.
I'll be back.
- Turn off the light. - Got it.
- Tom. - I'm sorry, I didn't realize how late it was.
No, that's OK. I was up, working. What's going on?
Just in the neighborhood. I thought I'd see if you were awake.
Which is ridiculous, because it's not true.
- I wanted to talk to you. - Come on in. Please.
- Do you want something to drink? - What do you got?
Coffee.
You're not gonna give me some lecture about drinking on a school night, are you?
Not yet.
You're thinking about her, aren't you?
I wish I had done things differently.
Could have saved her.
But I didn't.
What happened to your wife - it was a crime.
Korman pulled the trigger, not you.
Then why do I feel like I'm to blame?
Because you're a good man.
- Um... Rachel, I'm sorry. - No, it's OK.
- That's not why I came here. - No, I know. I know.
- It's not a big deal at all, I mean... - No, I should go.
No.
Stay, and we'll talk. Please.
- I'm gonna get us that coffee. - OK.
What's taking you guys so long?
Marshall?
About what hap...
- Where did you go? - It's been a while, hasn't it?
Where's Mitchell? Where's my wife?
Your family's fine. They're safe at home.
Although, I imagine they're sick with worry.
- What do you want from me? - Rambaldi described a cavern.
He gave a very precise description of the stone formation inside.
- I want you to locate it for me. - What?
You're familiar with the US government's ground-penetrating satellite network.
- I need you to access the system. - You're tasking me?
- What? You think you're still my boss? - Marshall...
What you're doing is bad. I know that. It's, like, end-of-the-world bad.
This is not a request.
I will not help you.
Let me know when you persuade him.
What are you doing? What is that?
What is that?
Hey, hey. Take it easy. OK, let's talk about this. No! Ow!
Please!
Thank you for coming. I'm so glad you're here.
- How are you holding up? - I sent Mitchell to my mother's.
I mean, he wouldn't just leave. You know him, right? He wouldn't do that.
- No, he wouldn't. - It makes no sense.
He's a game designer - why would somebody abduct him?
There's something you need to know.
Excuse me.
Marshall doesn't work for a video game designer.
- Bristow. - I'm at Rachel's place.
I got worried when she didn't check in. Door was open.
Wallet, keys, phone are still here. It can't be a coincidence.
Get back to APO. Alert the team. We'll meet you there.
I'm on my way.
But I worked for the CIA, the NSA - why would he need to lie?
You have to understand, Carrie, he was ordered not to tell you.
We all were.
- He was trying to protect you. - We need to get back.
- There's another situation. - I wanna go with you.
- That's not possible. - I can't watch from the sidelines.
Without Marshall your technical support is compromised. I can help.
- Please. - OK. Grab your coat.
Thought a lot about you since the last time we saw each other.
Was hoping we'd meet again.
Of course, in my mind it was... under much different circumstances.
Rachel, don't make me do this.
Is now when you tell me this will hurt you a lot more than it hurts me?
I wish that were true.
Sloane did this.
He knows where we live, where we work, how we work.
- The question remains - why? - To disable our technical capabilities.
- To distract us. - Perhaps he needs something from them.
And Marshall and Rachel -
you know he won't hesitate to kill them once he gets what he needs.
I know.
You were right about him.
After Irina was extracted I was taken into custody.
I had to designate a guardian for Sydney.
I chose Sloane.
In spite of everything he's done,
I believed that some part of him was still the friend I once trusted with my daughter.
Clearly, I was wrong.
Oh, my God... Vaughn.
I thought you were...
I thought... OK. I guess that was a lie, too. Right?
It's complicated.
- Anyway, what can I do? - Marshall had a program to track the 12,
and I ran it through decryption, but he's got so many security protocols.
- Can I? - Yeah, sure.
- You're in. - What was it?
- "Moonglum of Elwher. " - That was my next guess.
He's rereading all his favorite books to get ready for when Mitchell reads.
Anyway, so what else can I do?
Aaargh!
Peyton, would you mind giving us a moment alone?
You want to see your family again, don't you?
Don't be difficult. Think about your son.
No, Marshall, you're not cut out for this.
I never liked you.
I tolerated you, because I had to.
Because you were my superior, and I was afraid of you.
Then I saw how twisted you were.
But now I see you for who you really are.
You are a weak, pathetic man.
You know what? You're right. I'm not cut out for this.
But I am thinking about my son.
I want Mitchell to look up to me.
To be proud of his dad.
Which is why no matter what you do to me,
I will never help you.
You know, I got a hangnail, right there on my thumb.
You mind working on that one next?
Marshall's right about you.
- I'm doing what needs to be done. - Does that help you sleep at night?
Eventually, Marshall and Rachel will do what I ask.
No, they won't.
- Why not? - They have something you don't.
- What? - Love. Family. Honor. Take your pick.
- That's why you'll never break them. - You're right.
I need to find another way.
- What about airports? - We've notified the FAA.
I assume Sloane would have other means.
I'm taking Isabelle to the sitter's. I'll be back as soon as I can.
If you try anything, be advised it will end badly.
What do you want?
Talk to Marshall, he'll listen to you.
They didn't do what you wanted.
You have an opportunity to save their lives. I suggest you take it.
- Syd! - Marshall.
Find Carrie and Mitchell - make sure they're OK.
- They're fine. Nothing will... - If anything happens to me,
tell Mitchell I was strong, so he's proud of his old man.
Tell Carrie to move on and find someone else.
Marshall, listen to me.
Whatever Sloane is asking, I want you to do it.
What? Syd, no, I can't.
Marshall, whatever he asks. Your life is more important.
Now, before I hang up, is there anything you want me to tell Carrie?
Yeah, actually, I want you to tell Carrie that I love her.
And that I'll finish reading Littlest Fish to Mitchell when I get...
You did the right thing.
Why are we here? I told you I wouldn't help you.
Yes, but he agreed to. And he needs your help.
- Marshall... - Rachel?
...I know this is bad, but we cannot do this.
We have to. I spoke to Sydney, she understands.
Listen, Rachel, I'm gonna do this, OK?
Unless you help me leapfrog the system, it won't work.
- Leapfrog. - We have to make sure we're not detected.
Or else it'll shut us out.
We'll need to open a bunch of ports. Don't stay in more than 15 seconds each.
That's right. 15 seconds is a good idea.
- She's very bright. - Terrific. Get to it.
That was Sydney. She was on the phone with Marshall.
- What? - He's fine.
He passed a message - he'll finish reading Mitchell The Littlest Fish
when he gets home.
- We haven't read that book in a year. - What's it about?
It's about a goldfish, and some boy who's his friend.
His name is Niles. No, Noah.
NOAA. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
- They monitor weather, eco-systems. - Using a state-of-the-art satellite.
Maybe Sloane wants them to hack in.
I can set up some wires to monitor the hack. If I can detect them,
I can pinpoint their location.
- It's happening now. - I'll be fast.
- Any progress? - They're close.
The firewall's flagging network activity.
Someone's sending out signatures. It's Marshall.
He's intentionally triggering the network security protocols.
Can you trace the location?
That's it.
- Where is it? - Central Italy.
Zoom out.
I should have known.
- What happens now? - Good work... as usual.
I'm narrowing it down. Mexico.
- They're in Ixtapa. - I'll assemble a rescue team immediately.
I've convened the 12. They're eagerly anticipating our arrival.
The jet's waiting, we should get going.
We should reconsider our plans for the prisoners.
Don't tell me you're getting sentimental.
- Or do you just have a thing for blondes? - It simply seems unnecessary, that's all.
This isn't open for discussion. Eliminate them.
Where are they? You think they just left?
Rachel, what's wrong? Are you having a heart attack?
- Exposure to electricity? Rachel? - No, not a heart attack.
What are you doing?
- What is that? You carry a garrote? - It's an underwire.
Sometimes it pays to be a girl.
Um, Rachel... Hey!
Listen, I have a family, OK? And a child.
I want another one. Maybe even a girl.
Oh, my God. That was the coolest thing I've ever seen.
Seriously, that was Empire Strikes Back cool.
Let's get out of here.
- Hey! - Get down!
Oh, my God. Syd! Thank you. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
- How did you find us? - Your wife, Marshall. Carrie found you.
- Any sign of Sloane? - We checked the entire facility.
He's not here.
I think you should see this.
Marshall's program to track the 12 was designed to notify him
should anything significant happen.
- It's pretty significant, if you ask me. - They're gathering.
- Bristow. - Hey, Dad. Marshall and Rachel are good.
- They got to them. Marshall's safe. - Thank God.
But Sloane, Sark, Peyton - they're gone.
The 12 are meeting in Zurich.
Sloane's presenting the information Marshall and Rachel acquired.
This is what we've been waiting for. We can bring them all down.
I know. I'll alert our contacts, have them assemble in Zurich.
Sydney, it's almost over.
Then I told him to move to my hangnail. He didn't think Flinkman had it in him.
- He's such a jerk. - I could think of some other words.
You were mapping caves in Italy. Do you have the coordinates?
- Yeah. - That's the other thing.
We spent hours hacking into the system. When he gets it, he's all cryptic.
"I should have known. " What was that?
- He should've known? - That's what he said.
- Where in Italy? What region? - Umbria.
Mount Subasio.
Dad's team will take care of the 12 in Zurich.
If they're going to Mount Subasio, I'll beat them to it.
- Sydney. - You were right, Vaughn.
I can't give in to this idea that I'm powerless.
- I can bring them down. - I know.
I was gonna say I'll go with you.
Vaughn!
Vaughn! Over here!
You'll have to lower me.
- You sure about this? - Yeah, I am.
I'll be tracking you.
Sydney.
You came.
Oh, I wouldn't do that.
The sound of one shot will trigger a cave-in.
You're coming with me.
Remember when you were a little girl and you came to live with Emily and me?
- I try not to dwell on it. - Sydney, you were so withdrawn.
We understood. You lost your mother and your father was taken into custody.
Remember?
We tried to reach out, but there was a time when that was impossible.
So we lined the shelves of your room - all of them - with stuffed animals...
hoping that that would comfort you.
Every morning I would come into your room to wake you up.
There they were, buried underneath your blanket.
You said there was a storm in the middle of the night and it knocked them over.
They were drowning.
So one by one you rescued them.
Even then, I wondered when you would learn.
You can't rescue everyone.
I received word from Zurich. The team's outside the building.
- We're getting visuals soon. - We got a problem.
This is from Sloane's safe house. Look at this.
- A schematic of the L.A. Subway system. - Data engineering analysis.
He's mapping architectural weaknesses of the tunnels around our facility.
- Sloane's targeting APO. - Clear the building.
Tom, Dixon - organize a search team. Sweep the tunnels.
Marshall, Rachel - I want all civilians evacuated from the subway.
- How do we do that? - Call in a bomb threat.
I know Marshall gave you a message.
But it didn't matter because I accounted for everyone.
What do you mean, everyone?
Prophet Five, APO.
I had to remove those obstacles.
- If you touch anyone else I love... - The time for threats has passed.
Besides, even if I wanted to I couldn't stop it now.
Mr. Sloane couldn't make it, he sent me instead.
I'm making sure that this is going to happen. That I'll see this through.
You, above all, should understand that.
- There's no shying away from fate. - I don't believe in fate.
Be that as it may, I'm very glad you're here, Sydney.
I wouldn't want you to be there when it happens.
What have you done?
I found it. It's big.
I never wanted you to suffer the way you did when you were a child.
The way you suffered when you lost Danny.
When you lost Vaughn.
- How much longer till we're evacuated? - They need five more minutes.
- Can you disable it? - Not without triggering the fail-safe.
The timer is a quartz oscillator. I can slow it down, buy them the time.
- Are you sure? - I've got liquid nitrogen.
- I can freeze the mechanism. - It'll only buy you 20 seconds.
- Not if I stay here and keep hitting it. - All right, do what you can.
But the second that timer dips below a minute, get the hell out.
Will do.
- I'm assuming you have the amulet? - Of course.
Sydney, I'm offering you a chance...
to walk.
- You know I can't do that. - You can only rescue yourself.
- Jack, what's the status on the evac? - The civilians just made it out.
- Good. - Don't lose your window. Get up top now!
OK.
Will do.
Hey, listen.
- Patch me through to Rachel? - Copy.
- Tom, you need to get out. - Yeah.
Hey, Rachel...
I wish there were more time.
I would've asked you out.
I would have said yes.
Hm.
A sky.
I'm sorry, Sydney, this isn't my choice. You're not allowed to see this.
Bad robot!
