My name is Sydney Bristow.
Seven years ago I was recruited by a secret branch of the CIA
called SD-6.
I was sworn to secrecy,
but I couldn't keep it from my fiancé,
and when the head of SD-6 found out, he had him killed.
That's when I learned the truth --
SD-6 is not part of the CIA.
I'd been working for the very people
I thought I was fighting against.
So I went to the only place that could help me take them down.
Now I'm a double agent for the CIA,
where my handler is a man named Michael Vaughn.
Only one other person knows the truth about what I do,
another double agent inside SD-6 --
someone I hardly know --
my father.
Someone's having me followed. Should I be worried?
If sloane suspects a double agent,
dreyer is the one he'd turn to.
The first thing dreyer will do
is give each of us a functional imaging test.
It's very difficult to deceive.
Are you an agent of SD-6?
Yes.
Are you a double agent?
No.
I think we've found our mole.
What is that?
It's a star chart -- a snapshot of the sky
taken from one specific place on earth
at one specific moment in time.
And the only spot on earth with that exact view of the stars
is the Southern slope of mt. Aconcagua
on the chile/argentina border.
Hey, I think we're almost at our waypoint.
I'm going in.
Dixon, I've found it.
It's rambaldi's journal. I've found it.
Sydney-- don't walk across.
What did you do to Dixon?
Aah!
Dixon? Dixon, do you copy?
Dixon?
Dixon, please tell me...
Dixon? Dixon! Oh, no, no, no, no.
Oh, no, no, no.
You weren't wearing your vest.
Oh, why weren't you wearing your vest? Dixon?
S-Syd...
You're going to be okay.
You're going to be okay, Dixon.
Just hang in.
Take this with you.
It's a satcom phone.
It'll let you contact the CIA from anywhere.
And what happens when SD-6 sees
I'm lugging around a CIA-issue phone?
Just don't let them see it.
This thing's like a brick. I can't take this.
Take it. Worst-case scenario --
you might need it.
Base ops, base ops, this is freelancer. How copy? Over.
B-ops reads you, l.C. Freelancer, go ahead.
Freelancer...
I repeat -- code 6. Emergency medivac. Over.
Copy. Launching extraction team, lancer.
Ping nabcom transponder, in 3, 2, 1, mark.
Set.
Just hang in there, buddy. Just hang in there.
Just hang in there.
Oh, come on. Come on. Come on. Come on.
Come on. Come on. Come on.
Just hang in, buddy. I got you. Just hang in.
Oh, come on. Come on.
Are you okay?
I'm fine.
So what happened when the chopper came?
The CIA helicopter airlifted us to a hospital in buenos aires.
The whole flight
I was thinking about sloane --
what he might do when he found out,
learning that I was betraying SD-6 this whole time,
and then I thought of a way out.
I called sloane,
told him that I'd dragged Dixon back to the Humvee,
that I drove him to the hospital myself.
I couldn't tell in his voice if he believed me,
but I-I think he did.
They airlifted us back to Los Angeles.
When we got here,
they took us to angel of mercy hospital.
Good.
No...
It's an SD-6 hospital.
Gunshot wounds, 14 hours old.
We've got internal bleeding here.
Agent Bristow, have you been briefed on your cover story?
Is he going to be okay?
Mrs. Dixon's waiting to talk with you.
Sloane wanted me to confirm that you've been briefed.
Yes, I know my cover story. Is my partner going to live?
We don't know.
And then I had to lie to Dixon's wife.
We were just standing there,
outside the bank's office in Rome.
This car pulled up. I didn't even see it.
These men stepped out. They had guns.
They wanted the bank's computer codes.
I had them in my briefcase and your husband grabbed me.
He pulled me to the ground, and I heard gunshots.
You should have seen him.
I didn't even know he'd been hit.
You just never think
something like this...
He's strong.
He's going to make it.
He will make it?
We don't know that.
Dixon was bleeding so much.
I was afraid if I took my hand off his wound,
he'd lose too much blood.
So I used the satcom phone right in front of him.
You said he was barely conscious.
But he heard me.
He repeated my code name twice.
I'd suggest that you put operatives there
just to be there when he regains consciousness.
But it's an SD-6 hospital.
He will make it.
You're in a very difficult position, Mr. dreyer.
You've been sent to SD-6 to find a mole.
The alliance must be pressuring you to deliver.
I'm just doing my job.
We both are. We're both doing our job,
and I look at Sydney Bristow's test results --
I don't see a single spike. She didn't falter once.
She's guilty. She's the one.
I think that's a dangerous accusation
being made by a desperate man.
I'm not desperate, Mr. sloane, but I am curious --
why you feel the need to defend miss Bristow.
I don't. I don't need to defend her.
The results defend her.
The results are too perfect.
We all have our speciality. This is mine.
With all due respect, uh, Mr. sloane,
you're ignoring the facts.
Sydney Bristow has made numerous mistakes,
not the least of which was her most recent mission.
Her partner was almost killed.
She could have retrieved the rambaldi book,
which is now in k-directorate hands.
Sydney Bristow is the mole.
If you don't follow protocol on this,
I'm going to the alliance.
Dreyer...
Don't you do a damn thing.
I'll take care of Bristow.
Is Dixon going to be okay?
He's still in icu. They don't know.
So guys with guns jumped out of a car?
It was over so quickly, I...
I mean, what for? For computer codes, bank stuff?
What did the cops -- can you not be a reporter for, like, two minutes?
I'm asking because I care.
I just think it's weird
for something else like this to happen to you.
Leave her alone or I will kick your ass. I'm not kidding.
Thank God you're okay.
Nobody move!
Down on the floor! Everyone, down!
Down on the floor.
Stay down!
We've seen hundreds of bank robberies.
At first glance, there's nothing out of the ordinary here,
but these men have skills. They have materials.
The robbery was a distraction.
While those men were accessing the registers,
these two men hacked into the bank's mainframe
and rerouted funds.
They work for anini Hassan.
I don't understand.
Why would Hassan be robbing a bank in the states?
Because that bank controlled his assets,
recently frozen by the U.S. government.
He used those men to transfer his money so he could access it.
We've put up with Hassan for years,
mostly because he provided us with good intel.
Now he's closing shop, relocating,
and we don't know where. He's been missing for two weeks.
Hassan is too dangerous to trust as a free agent.
Now it's our job to bring him to justice.
Where did Hassan reroute the money?
That's what we need to find out.
If we don't steal back his fortune,
he could use that money
to buy protection in the middle east.
If he does that, he could partner with a hostile country
and provide them with all the arms they will ever need.
Logan gerace -- he's an accountant.
He has one client -- anini Hassan.
Gerace's known for his parties at his villa in Tuscany --
entertains dignitaries, diplomats.
He's having an event on Friday night.
You'll be there.
While Dixon's in recovery, you'll go it alone.
We have no in to the party.
You won't be on the guest list.
Shouldn't be a problem.
Your mission is to retrieve Hassan's offshore account number
from gerace's computer.
Dead drop the info at donati park,
which is five Miles from the party.
When do I leave?
Tonight.
So this guy I know was killed -- Danny hecht --
nicest guy in the world, killed in his bathroom.
The police say there's no motive, there was no suspect,
but then I stumbled upon this --
there's a video blackout the night that he was killed.
Weird. That's weird, right?
Well, there's more. There's a woman named Kate Jones
who was supposed to be traveling with Danny
to Singapore that night.
So what do I do? I call around. I find this woman.
Winds up she's lying to me. Her real name is Eloise kurtz,
and somebody paid her to talk to me.
Weird.
Thank you. Thank you. Yeah, well, it gets weirder.
This woman, right --
the woman that said that she was Kate Jones --
she's dead. Killed.
Who killed her?
I don't know, Neville. That's why I'm here.
I mean, who killed Eloise kurtz? Who killed Daniel hecht?
And then somebody covers up the passenger manifest,
and I think whoever did that gave Eloise kurtz that pin.
Here we go.
What?
Damn.
This mama's gorgeous.
Why is she gorgeous. Why, why? Why is she so gorgeous?
It's mems --
microelectromechanical system technology.
This is like -- this is like the next gen's next gen.
This is government? You're saying this is government issue?
Because the guy at the science lab, see, that's what --
shh! The guy --
shh!
It's on.
What do you mean, like, right now?
Yes.
Who is it?
I don't know.
You should report your boss to the corporate office. No kidding.
Making you go to Boston
after everything you just went through. Please.
You deserve a month off with pay.
What do you think of this wedding dress?
You can't go shopping for a wedding dress in a magazine.
Let's to that boutique on Beverly.
I have always wanted a reason to go there,
and now I have a reason.
Yeah. You're getting married.
I am. I'm getting married.
How about Saturday?
Hello?
Joey's pizza?
Wrong number.
So Saturday? Noon?
Yes, for sure.
SD-6 doesn't want to bring Hassan to justice.
They just want revenge.
Revenge for what?
Something you did.
When Hassan bought that nuclear weapon from SD-6
and you snuck into Hassan's base and stole the core back,
he thought he was being double-crossed,
that only SD-6 would have known he had the bomb
and where it was.
Oh, God.
So last week he sold SD-6
10 stinger anti-aircraft missiles.
They want him to fortify their base in Oman.
Hassan had a good laugh.
He took the money and ran. Didn't deliver.
So SD-6 wants to send out a message
to everyone else they do business with.
"Don't mess with SD-6."
The CIA actually wants to bring Hassan to justice.
We want SD-6 to have that money.
Why?
That way we can tag the accounts and see where they take it,
what they spend it on. It will give us a profile
into how SD-6 does their banking.
Here. Take this.
Attach it to the top of the SD-6 retrieval device.
It'll copy whatever you get from gerace's computer.
Okay.
Are you okay?
I was getting briefed by Marshall.
Okay, now, this thing sucks -- literally.
Sucks all the information from the computer hard drive
right into the internal flash ram.
Now just place it on or near the computer hard drive
and when this light is green, it's reading.
How long does it take?
It should suck up to 40 gigs in under 2 minutes.
Oh, do you want some candy?
I just put this jar of candy in here,
trying to make the place a little more inviting and --
oh, you want to take a seat in the inflatable chair?
It's...
Come see me when you're done.
I should start with your test results.
You passed just fine. The numbers were normal.
I'd hope so.
I know what a difficult time this is.
I understand... With Dixon in the hospital.
Have you heard anything?
Yes, he's still unconscious. They're not sure how bad it is.
Look, Sydney...
I don't blame you
for not talking to me the way you used to...
For hating me...
Since what happened with Danny.
Please believe me when I tell you
it was the last thing I wanted, the last thing.
I begged security section not to take that action.
No, you didn't.
Well, you don't have to believe me --
why would you try and stop what you had ordered?
Because of you.
I always knew there was something about you,
from the first time I saw you.
A lot can change in seven years.
It's been a lot longer than seven years.
I've known your father since 1971.
I met him at Langley. I knew your mother.
I went to your parents' wedding.
Sydney, I've known you since you were a baby.
I was out of the country for most of your childhood --
various operations -- but I kept tabs on you.
I checked in in my own way.
I always thought of you as my daughter,
even from the beginning.
Well, I just wanted to let you know...
Before you went away.
It was almost like he was saying goodbye,
like he knew that I'm not coming back.
You're going to be okay. We'll get through this.
Just contact me as soon as you get back.
I know, with -- with his account numbers.
No, I mean, with or without the accounts,
just as soon as you get back.
Okay.
Okay?
Okay.
You wanted to see me?
Sir?
Yes.
I need to send a communiqué to sd-4 office in Rome,
attention spinelli.
Put it out through server 5.
Yes, sir.
I'm ordering,
with security section full knowledge,
the assassination of an SD-6 officer.
Method -- close-range hit.
This officer is scheduled to make a dead drop
at donati park, 10:00 P.M. tomorrow.
That's when the kill should take place.
Yes, sir.
The target's name is Bristow...
Sydney Bristow.

Okay, I don't know who you are,
but Eloise kurtz was wearing this
the day that she met me, so I assume that you heard
at least that conversation and you know who I am,
which means that you know that I'm a reporter
and that I've been trying to figure out what happened
to Danny hecht and now to Eloise kurtz,
so if you killed her,
well, then you would've already known that I'm a threat to you,
and you would've already killed me, too, so --
unless you didn't kill her,
in which case, I need to talk to you.
My cell number is 310-555-0153.
Please...
Call me.
Please. I need to talk to you.
Hello?
Francie?
Yeah, hi.
No, I don't know where she is.
No, I don't think she got back yet.
Hey, agent Bristow's been made.
We just unlocked this communiqué off the SD-6 server.
What?
10:00 P.M., donati park, they're going to kill her.
SD-6 is going to kill her.
Went to tell Davenport, but he's not in his office.
Yeah, it's Vaughn. We need an extraction team
assembled in Italy. No, Tuscany now.
We only have two hours. I'll go tell Davenport.
I just told you, he's not in his office.
I'm going to find him. Get me Jack Bristow on the phone.
Jack Bristow. Right.
I don't speak Italian.
But I love everything about this house.
Can you do something about the spinning?
This floor is not for guests.
Can you tell me where the bathroom is?
Uh, it's upstairs. Watch your step.
Yeah?
I got your message. I'm on a secure line.
There's been a hit put out on Sydney.
I'm getting her out of there.
Not yet. You could be making a mistake.
I don't think so.
Do nothing until you hear from me.
We already have a team en route.
I sent a communiqué to sd-4, but they never received it.
Oh, uh, you want some candy?
No, I need you to check the server logs right away.
Over here.
This, uh, here is a list
of all outgoing messages in the last 72 hours.
This includes every server? Yeah.
Well, except server 5. Since security section ran that drill,
it's not connected to the main network,
but the communiqué wouldn't go that route.
Let's look there anyway.
Okay.
Okay, team's in place at donati park.
I've got six armed officers stationed and waiting --
one by the fountain, two at the Southern entrance,
one at the Western gate,
our snipers are at the north end.
Standing by awaiting Bristow's arrival.
First sighting, I take her to safety.
All right, are they still scanning for gunmen?
Yes, sir. Scan's complete.
No shooters have been 20'd.
I've got three operatives surrounding the park on lookout.
Jack. You should --
take me to field ops.
Mr. Bristow. Call them off.
She'll be in the park any minute.
No execution has been ordered. This is a setup. What are you talking about?
Sloane's transmission was sent on SD-6 server 5.
It was only sent out to you.
Vaughn, they know someone's listening.
This is a test.
Get Sydney out of there, and argue about this later.
You go in like this, you pull her out,
it'll only prove that you've intercepted
sloane's communiqué, and Sydney will be exposed.
You don't know that for a fact.
Why am I even talking to you? Lloyd, abort this mission.
Hey, wait a minute. We verified this order, Jack.
We pull back, you could be killing your daughter.
You're killing her if you don't.
How could you be willing to risk something like this?
If Sydney makes her scheduled dead drop,
does it successfully, and leaves the park,
she will have proven herself loyal to SD-6.
Have them hold till we give an order.
No, no, no. Hold till further notice.
This is Sydney's life.
You were meant to see that transmission.
You're the only ones who saw it.
Someone in that park is going to kill her
if we don't do anything.
I know how sloane works. He's bluffing.
Alpha 2, come in.
Bristow's entering the park.
We have two vehicles here that are not on list.
Red jacket. Help with one.
Who's this guy in the jacket?
Copy that.
Position 3, we have an approaching hostile.
Acquire male target, 75 meters.
This could be our guy. This could be the hit.
What are we doing here?
Jack, promise me you're not wrong about this.
Hold your position.
He could be going for a gun.
Prepare to take him out.
Stand by.
Copy that.
That's her dead drop.
Okay, she's out. She's out of the park. She's clear.
Whew.
Good work, Jack.
Oy.
I just lost 30 pounds.
Oh, God.
This is exactly why I became a reporter.
It's like -- it's like the best movie ever made.
"His girl Friday"?
Yeah.
What's a better movie than that?
"Godfather," "on the waterfront,"
"citizen Kane"...
"Raging bull," "empire strikes back."
Okay, okay, whatever. It sucks, all right?
But it's why I wanted to become a reporter.
You know, I saw this when I was a kid,
and I was just, like, I don't know, all the quick...
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I mean, it just looked fun, you know?
Being a reporter looked fun,
but it's not. It's not fun.
It's a pain in the ass.
What's your problem?
Will?
What are you doing?
Will?
Scoot over.
Is something even in there?
Oh, it's so ugly.
It's a bug.
No, it's not. What are you talking about?
Yeah, yeah, it's a story that I'm working on.
I'm, like -- I'm, like, living in a puzzle.
I can't figure anything out.
I don't know -- I don't know who's doing what.
I'm a mess.
Literally, I'm --
you're looking at a mess.
And who's ever listening can go to hell.
You hear that?
Do you really think somebody's listening?
I just want to watch old movies and go to sleep.
Do you think I will find a good wedding dress?
Fran, it's not a magic 8 ball.
Hello?
Tell them to stop torturing me.
Stop torturing will tippin. He's my friend.
Bad people.
Hello?
Stop talking about the bug.
Tell the person you're with this was a wrong number.
Hello?
Who was that?
It was a wrong number.
You sent the communiqué on server 5.
High-level intel could deduce that your directive was bogus.
Whoever's hacked into our computer network
has no reason to believe we're setting them up.
The point is, they received the intel.
If Bristow had been their agent,
they would have prevented her
from going into the park last night.
Let's say she had been the mole.
So you're convinced she's not.
Well, whether she is or not,
if your plan had worked --
if she had been revealed as a mole --
she would have been saved by her people,
and you
would have effectively
let her go.
You have your answer regarding Sydney Bristow.
What are you protecting?
Mr. dreyer,
I still believe we have a situation here at SD-6.
I strongly suggest you keep looking for the mole
and stop questioning every decision I make.
Syd?
Oh, Fran.
Hey, when'd you get back?
Oh, my God. Your wedding dress.
Oh, don't worry about it.
I am so sorry. How was Boston?
Did you get my message?
I mean, it was probably insensitive of me
to ask you to go wedding dress shopping.
Why? Well, because...
You were supposed to be going through this.
And I understand,
and if you feel weird,
I'll do whatever you need.
It's okay.
Francie.
This wasn't about me losing Danny.
This wasn't about me at all.
The only reason I didn't show up was because of work.
I promise.
Let's go next week, okay?
Okay.
Hey, any news about Dixon?
Is he okay?
He still hasn't woken up.
I'm really sorry.
Hello?
Hello, will tippin.
Who is this?
Go to 7th and spring.
Analysis has reviewed the information
that you obtained from gerace's computer.
Apparently, Hassan is more paranoid than we predicted.
His bank account info wasn't there?
Yes and no.
We know the bank, but not the account numbers.
Those numbers, according to the files
on the hard drive, are not stored in any computer
because a computer can be hacked.
If they're not in a computer, where are the numbers?
A safety deposit box in this bank --
omnicor, incorporated, Geneva, Switzerland.
You're going in with rusik.
You'll be christiana Stevens. You represent dreiberg diamonds.
You're looking for a bank to recommend to your clients
for high-volume storage. You leave tonight.
Great job in Tuscany.
So it was a trap.
Yes, it was.
If you had pulled me out,
sloane would have known I was the mole.
But I would have been safe. I mean, he gave me an out.
He considers you a daughter.
Don't remind me.
How did you know not to step in?
It was your dad.
He figured the truth -- that sloane was setting us up.
Hmm. What?
It's going to take forever to bring them down.
Well, this might help a little.
What is it? It's the new transmitter.
We'll be able to hear everything you're saying
when you're in Switzerland,
so when you open the safety deposit boxes,
read Hassan's bank account numbers aloud.
SD-6 will get the numbers at the same time.
It doesn't matter. We'll tag the accounts right there
and track every move SD-6 makes with that money.
Yeah, I know, it's not exactly a crushing blow, but...
Every bit helps.
Yes? Hello?
Tell me you weren't followed.
No, not a chance. Come on, man. Who is this?
You have questions about Kate Jones.
How far are you willing to go, Mr. tippin?
I need to hear the words "I'm ready."
Why? Why, could my life be in danger?
Say the words.
Yeah, I'm in.
I'm ready.
Excuse me.
Can you tell me where Mr. Franco is, please?
Could you wait here a moment, please?
Mr. Franco.
Christiana Stevens, dreiberg diamonds.
I have an appointment to tour the facility.
Now, our security system is powered
by an on-site underground generator,
which means that we are unaffected
by the city blackouts.
How high is your insurance coverage?
Well, we have no preset limit,
if your clients wish to store their diamonds here,
we would have an independent appraiser
value the merchandise.
How has the current political climate
affected your privacy laws?
Well, our first duty is always to the customer, that we --
okay, rusik, I'm in.
Remember, gerace's box is 22364.
I'm accessing the bank's on-line server.
I'll stay on station, wait for your relay. Got it.
Rusik, I got it. Are you ready? Go.
Delta 6135, Charlie 7 echo.
That's it.
Okay.
Get this to our guys in treasury.
I don't want to lose track of a single penny.
No kidding.
Okay, money's transferred.
You out of there yet, Sydney?
Not just yet.
Help. He just fainted. I'll call an ambulance.
Hey.
What are you doing?
What'd you tell that reporter?
I told him exactly what I was supposed to tell him.
Did you mention...
Of course not.
Did you tell him about...
It's an anomaly, sir.
While Sydney was in the bank vault,
there was definitely
an additional transmission out of Geneva --
not one of ours.
I picked it up in signals intelligence.
It's just --
you wanted me to tell you if there was anything unusual.
I didn't just get someone in trouble, did I?
Hello?
Sydney, it's Diane.
He's woken up.
It's okay.
Go on in.
I'm going to get some coffee.
Okay, thanks.
Hey.
It's so good to see you.
You too.
Dixon...
Do you know what -- do you remember what happened?
The last thing I remember...
Was walking out
and trying to link to the satellite.
And that sweet smile of yours.
Yep, and there it is.
Yeah?
We got her.
