The first time i learned of prophet 5,
my fiancé was gunned down in front of me.
It 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 twelve--
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.
I don't believe I've seen you here before.
Vodka Martini, please, dry.
I've got visual confirmation.
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 5 archive.
Pulling it up now. Mcmullen and kheel--
you're right. They're members of prophet 5.
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.
Trust me, you do not wanna see me without my shirt.
It's not a, uh,
it's not a pretty, uh, a pretty sight.
Whoo! 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 always late to briefings.
Damn it!
Visuals acquired.
Uhh!
Oh, I am really sorry...
Um... Debbie.
Phoenix, do you copy? Phoenix here.
I need to sign off. Can you handle this without me?
I'm on it. Good luck, dad. Likewise.
Excuse me, uh, would you mind? It's for my granddaughter.
Sure.
Uh, 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 with you.
Did she not clear it with you? No.
Okay, well, she said she did.
She had some kind of family emergency.
Her sister was like, sick. The gross kind or something.
Well, it's good of you to fill in.
Thanks, I need the tips with rent and--
it's expensive down under.
Mate, we've got a situation down here.
Excuse me!
How did you say you knew Debbie?
Uhh!
Hey!
Stop!
Now we know who we're fighting.
Now that we know who the twelve are,
we've been able to fill in details--
none of which are reassuring.
Between them, these people wield an enormous amount of power.
Their global reach is well... global.
Well, we know who they are now.
Why don't we just take 'em in?
Unfortunately, it's not that simple.
When we make a move against prophet 5,
it needs to be the right one.
We need to arrest them simultaneously
Marshall, we need a program to track their movements.
I want you to input the visuals and data we have on the twelve.
Cross-reference everything with international databases.
Okay, sure, that should just take me a lifetime.
I mean, that's really...
No problem. I'll get right on that.
What about sloane?
As of now, we're operating under the assumption
that he's working for the twelve.
We take them down, we get to him.
The twelve have been searching for this for a long time--
since before you were born.
Mm. Don't get too attached.
They're expecting it to be turned over.
I should get going. Tell me, have you ever considered
what would happen if you did that?
Once prophet 5 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.
Oh, I'm well aware that you could walk out of here
and tell them what I'm proposing.
You might curry some favor,
save your life... Temporarily.
But you won't.
You're like me.
You have good instincts for self-preservation.
I can vouch for the fact that you will be
well-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.
You know, Isabelle's gonna be up in like, two hours.
Yeah, I can't sleep.
Yeah, I can see why. That 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...
And that 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 really 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 had her effect, never having seen the beauty
of my sky behind mount subasio."
I mean, wordy and wrong.
All this talk about prophecy and fate--you've disproven it.
You climbed mount subasio. You saw the sky.
It's not just that.
Sloane?
I keep thinking about all the people he's killed--
I mean, 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.
Mmm, your hair smells like fruit.
Mitchell threw applesauce 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?
Oh. Perhaps I could inspire you to wake up.
Daddy?
Or perhaps you could go check on Mitchell.
Right.
I'll be back.
Mmm.
Turn off the light.
Got it.
Tom?
I'm sorry.
I didn't realize how late it was.
Uh, no, that's okay. I was, um--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 just...
I wanted to talk to you.
Come on in, please.
Do you, uh, 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've 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--I'm sorry.
No, it's okay.
That's--that's not why I came here.
No, I-I know. I know.
Um, it's not a big deal at all. I mean...
No, you know what? I-I-I should--I should go.
No. Stay, and we'll talk.
Please.
I'm gonna get us that coffee.
Okay.
What's taking you guys so long?
Marshall?
About what hap...
Penned.
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 an underground cavern.
He gave a very precise description
of the stone formation inside.
I want you to locate it for me.
You're familiar, of course, with the U.S. 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?
Whatever you're doing is bad, okay? 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--what are you doing? What is that?
Hey, hey. Hey, take it easy!
Okay, let's talk about this!
No! No! 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 didn't want him to see me like this.
I mean, he wouldn't just leave. I mean, you know him, right?
He wouldn't do that. No, hewouldn't.
It just doesn't make sense. I mean, he's--
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. That can't be a coincidence.
Get back to a.P.O. Alert the team.
We'll meet you there as soon as possible. I'm on my way.
But I worked for the c.I.A., the n.S.A.
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.
That's not possible. Well, I can't just watch from the sidelines.
And I'm willing to bet that without Marshall,
your technical support is severely compromised.
I can help. Please?
Okay, grab your coat.
I've thought a lot about you
since the last time we saw each other.
I was hoping we'd meet again.
Of course, in my mind, it was...
Under much different circumstances.
Rachel, don't make me do this.
Oh, is now the part where you tell me
this is gonna 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.
But the question remains-- why?
To disable our technical capabilities,
uh, to distract us?
Well, 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.
If you just come in here.
Oh, my... Vaughn?
I thought you were...
I thought--okay, I guess that was a lie, too, right?
Anyway, what--what can I do? Marshall wrote a program
to track the movements of the twelve,
and I ran it through our standard decryption program.
But he's got so many security protocols--
can I? Yeah, sure.
You're in.
What was it?
"Moonglum of elwher."
Yeah, well, that was my next guess.
He's rereading all his favorite books
to get ready for when Mitchell starts reading.
Anyway, so what else can I do?
Aah!
Peyton, would you mind giving us a moment alone?
So 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.
You know, I never liked you.
I tolerated you
because I had to,
you know, because you were my superior...
And I was afraid of you.
And I saw how... Twisted you were.
But now I see you for who you really are.
You are a weak, pathetic man.
You know, 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'll never help you.
You know what?
I got--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 or Rachel will do what I ask.
No, they won't.
Why not?
Because 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 f.A.A.,
but 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, oh, my God.
Marshall-- listen, you need to find Carrie and Mitchell,
make sure they're okay.
They're fine. Nothing is gonna happen-- if anything should happen to me,
I want you to tell Mitchell how strong I was--
you know, make sure he's proud of his old man.
Tell Carrie to move on, all right, and find someone else.
It's totally fine. 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? No. Rachel...
Look, 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, okay?
And unless you help me leapfrog the system, it won't work.
Leapfrog?
We have to make sure we're not detected,
or else they'll shut us out.
We're gonna need to open a bunch of ports.
I wouldn't stay on any of them for longer than 15 seconds each.
That's right. 15 seconds--that's a good idea.
She's very bright.
Terrific. Get to it.
That was Sydney.
She just got off the phone with Marshall. What?
He's fine. I'll explain later.
He's trying to tell you something. We haven't read him that book in at least a year.
What's it about? It's about a goldfish and some boy who's his friend.
Um, oh, God, his name is niles.
No, um, Noah!
N.O.A.A.--National oceanic and atmospheric administration.
They monitor weather patterns, ecosystems--
using a state-of-the-art satellite network.
Maybe sloane's trying to get them to hack in.
If I can detect them, I can pinpoint their location.
Well, whatever sloane's making them do,
it's happening now. I'll be fast.
Any progress?
They're close.
The firewall's flagging an insane amount
of network activity.
Someone's sending out signatures.
He's intentionally triggering the network security protocols.
Can you trace the location?
That's it.
Where is that? Central Italy.
Zoom out.
I should have known.
Well, 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 twelve.
They're eagerly anticipating our arrival.
The jet's waiting. We should get going.
Perhaps 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?
Do you think they just left?
Oh, my God, Rachel, what's wrong?
You having a heart attack?
Exposure to electricity? Rachel...
No, no, I'm not having a heart attack.
What are you doing?
What is that, a garrote? You carry a garrote?
It's an underwire. Sometimes it pays to be a girl.
Uh, Rachel--hey!
Listen, I have a family, okay, and a child.
And I wanna have another one, maybe even a girl.
Oh, my God, that was the coolest thing I've ever seen.
Seriously, that was, like, "empire strikes back" cool.
Let's get out of here. Yeah.
Get down!
Oh, my God. Syd, thank you.
Thank you, 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 twelve
was designed to notify him automatically
should anything significant happen.
That'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 and Peyton--
they're going to Zurich. The twelve are meeting there.
Sloane must be presenting them
with 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.
And then I told him that, you know,
he better move to my thumb or hangnail.
He didn't think flinkman had it in him.
Yeah, I mean, you know, he's such a jerk. I could think of some other words.
You said you were mapping caves in Italy.
Do you have the coordinates? Yeah.
That's the other thing--we spent hours hacking into the system.
And then as soon as he gets what he wants, he's all cryptic,
you know... "I should've known."
What is that about? He should've known?
Yeah, that's what he said. Where in Italy? What region?
Umbria.
Mount subasio.
Dad's team will take care of the twelve in Zurich,
but if they're going after something in mount subasio,
I'm gonna 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 just 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.
The sound of one shot would 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.
Oh, Sydney, you were so withdrawn.
Of course, we understood-- you had just 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.
And 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,
and they were drowning...
So one by one, you rescued them.
Even then, I wondered when you would learn...
You can't rescue everyone.
I just received word from Zurich.
The team's taking up positions outside the building.
We'll be getting visuals soon. We got a problem.
I was going through what we got from sloane's safe house.
Look at this--it's a schematic of the L.A. subway system.
Wait a minute. Load-bearing data engineering analysis?
He's mapping architectural weaknesses
of the tunnels around our facility.
Sloane's targeting a.P.O.
Clear the building. Tom, Dixon, organize a search team.
Start sweeping the tunnels.
Marshall, Rachel, I want all civilians
evacuated from the subway. How do we do that?
Call in a bomb threat.
I know when you talked to Marshall
he gave you a message.
But really, it didn't matter anymore,
because I had accounted for everyone.
What do you mean, everyone?
Prophet 5, a.P.O...
I had to remove those obstacles.
If you so much as touch anyone else I love--
the time for threats has passed, Sydney.
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.
Be that as it may, I'm very glad you're here, Sydney,
because 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? Rachel just radioed in.
They need five more minutes to secure the area.
Can you disable it?
Not without triggering the fail-safe.
But the timer--
it's a quartz oscillator.
I could slow it down, buy them the time.
Are you sure?
I've got liquid nitrogen.
I could freeze the mechanism.
Hitting it with nitro's only gonna buy you 20 seconds.
Not if I stay here and keep hitting it.
All right, tom, do what you can.
But the second that timer dips below a minute,
get the hell out of there. 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.
The only person you can rescue
is yourself.
Jack,
what's the status on the evac?
The last of the civilians just made it out.
Don't lose your 60-second window. Get up top now.
Okay.
Will do.
Hey, listen...
Can you 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've said yes.
Mm.
The sky... mm.
I'm sorry, Sydney, this isn't my choice.
You're not allowed to see this.
