Previously on "Alias. "
The box has not been opened
since the time of Rambaldi.
It was rumored to contain
the strain
of a plague-like bioweapon
capable of killing millions.
This bioweapon.
What do you know about it?
Only that The Covenant
refers to it as The Passenger.
The CIA wants me
executed next week
because they believe
that I was working
with Senator Reed, and I was.
But my association
with Senator Reed
had nothing to do with advancing
The Covenant's agenda.
Two years ago,
Senator Reed recruited me
to work for an organization
inside the U.S. Government.
They refer to themselves
as The Trust.
I need you to prove
that this group exists.
I was serving my country, Jack.
Not betraying it.
In one of his sessions
with Barnett,
Sloane admitted having
an affair with Irina
while you were married.
What are you saying,
Lauren is Covenant?
I can't be sure.
The shooter was wearing a wig.
It was dark.
We were wrong
about The Passenger.
It's not a weapon.
It's a person.
I think The Passenger
may be your mother.
I am looking for The Passenger.
I have a great respect
for the followers of Rambaldi,
and I know you to be
a truly wise man.
But if you do not tell me
where to find The Passenger
in five seconds,
I will kill you.
I cannot help you, Mr. Sark.
How do you know my name?
Retrieve the manuscript
regarding The Passenger,
and I'll meet you in Rajasthan.
Bring him with you.
He may be useful
if the manuscript is encrypted.
But when I mentioned
The Passenger to your mother,
she terminated her user account.
Either she is The Passenger,
or she's protecting her.
What's going on?
Your message said
it was important.
You were right.
About what?
Lauren's the mole.
She works for The Covenant.
You have proof?
I should have known.
We should talk to Dixon and
figure out a way to handle this.
Oh, I know how to handle this.
You will act like nothing
has changed.
Okay, what's plan B?
'Cause that's not gonna happen.
Given that The Covenant
is ahead of us
in the search for The Passenger,
tracking Lauren
might allow us to catch up.
She cannot detect
the slightest alteration
in your relationship.
I'll inform Dixon,
we'll secure the agency,
limiting her access
to classified documents.
Stop. My wife betrayed me.
She betrayed all of us.
You can't expect me to
pretend that never happened.
- I'm not sure you have a choice.
- Why is that?
Because you're the one
that married her.
I missed you this morning.
I got up early
and went to the gym.
- I should have let you know.
- Oh, it's fine.
In fact, I like it.
Makes me feel like we've
settled back into our lives.
I think we have.
Before my dad died,
I asked you if you would come
with me to counseling,
and you said no.
I still think it could help.
It's just a thought.
No, I'd like that.
After 30 years, you still
live with your wife's betrayal.
Will he?
Absolutely.
An Echelon intercept
we just received
indicates The Covenant
has kidnapped someone
they believe can help them
find The Passenger.
A convoy is transporting him
across Western Rajasthan.
You and Vaughn will intercept it
and take him into custody.
We don't have the Indian
government's cooperation,
and the air space is restricted,
so you're going in old school.
We've done well here.
Quite well.
Thank you.
We have to go.
Follow me!
Give me your gun.
Give me the gun now!
Here!
Press on.
We have everything we need.
They have The Restoration.
The Passenger is compromised.
Just breathe.
It's you.
The Passenger.
She is your destiny.
How is she my destiny?
As a friend?
As an enemy?
Tell me.
Tell me that.
Is The Passenger my mother?
The Passenger
is
your sister.
In Nepal, the convoy
was transporting a man.
We tried rescuing him
from The Covenant,
but he was shot.
Before he died, he told me
my mother was not The Passenger.
He said my sister was.
Who was this man?
A monk, a cleric,
a Rambaldi scholar.
Dad, what difference
does it make?
Do I have a sister?
I don't know.
Maybe that's why Mom's name
was linked to The Passenger.
Maybe because she had
another child.
During our marriage,
your mother had an affair.
If, in fact, you do have
a sister, it's conceivable
she is the product
of that indiscretion.
I'd hoped to spare you
the name of the person
with whom the affair took place.
But if he is
the father of your sister,
that is no longer possible.
Who is it?
Sydney.
Thank God.
You have to help me.
Your execution
cannot come fast enough.
I'm innocent, Sydney.
I have not violated
my pardon agreement.
It was based on my cooperation
with an organization
known as The Trust.
Senator Reed was my contact.
If he was the mole,
I did not know.
Ask your father.
He knows that.
If you were innocent,
he'd find a way
to stay your execution.
Even though you had
an affair with his wife.
You know that.
I have 72 hours to live.
I want you to focus on that,
not on some affair I had
I'm not focusing on the affair.
I'm focusing on the child
that resulted from it.
A sister I never knew I had.
It must have come
as a shock to you.
It did to me when I found out.
Are you telling me
you didn't know?
No.
Not until two years ago.
When I was in a monastery
in Nepal
run by followers of Rambaldi.
Go on.
Sydney, the revelation
that I had a child,
it was overwhelming.
I spent every possible moment
from that day on
searching for my child.
The Di Regno heart.
And II Dire,
Rambaldi's machine that I
so painstakingly constructed.
Together they gave me
an individual's DNA
and the word "peace. "
Which in Greek translates
into Irina.
I did a DNA test.
Confirmed that I was
the father of the child.
So, Sydney, I created Omnifam.
And while I was inoculating
millions of people
against diseases,
I was simultaneously
able to gain access
to medical databases
that identified people
through their DNA.
And I hoped that it would
help me find my daughter.
I failed.
You know she is The Passenger.
I know.
I know.
I also know
The Covenant is after her.
Sydney, I want to protect
my child.
So please talk to your father.
If he is concealing information
that would exonerate me
because I had an affair
with Irina,
convince him to give it to you.
If not for my sake
then for your sister's.
Okay, here's what we found out
from Project: Black Hole.
"The Restoration"
refers to documents written
about The Passenger.
That's the bad news.
The good news is
The Covenant can't read them.
- They're in code.
- Yes.
- And we have the only code key.
- It's a stalemate.
Not if we're smart about it.
Here's what we do.
We call a briefing,
making sure to include Lauren.
Once she's there, you detail
the following information.
Analysis is currently
filtering through some chatter
they picked up
referencing The Restoration.
They're certain that it will
only be a matter of hours
before they can locate
these documents.
After indicating
confidence in our ability
to locate and recapture
The Restoration,
we then explain
what we will do once we have it.
Project: Black Hole is
delivering the code key today.
The minute we come into
possession of The Restoration,
Marshall will begin
the decoding process.
In truth, Marshall will be
receiving a bogus code key.
We should also
remind Lauren that
Even if we do not
recover the documents,
we know that
without this code key,
The Covenant will not
be able to read it.
After learning
a code key exists,
it is probable
Lauren will try and copy it.
That's where you come in.
Me?
You have to act
completely normal.
Marshall.
Lauren.
Agent Vaughn-Reed.
Mrs. Vaughn-Reed.
Hi.
What can I do for you?
Project: Black Hole
does not share its toys
as often as the NSC would like.
Governmental turf war,
that kind of thing.
When I told them
about the code key,
they insisted
I detail it for them.
Right.
Well, go ahead, have a look.
And while you're at it,
have a gander.
Not on the Flinkman file.
Just a little journal
I'm keeping for Mitch.
Patent ideas, history
of quantum mechanics,
brief intro to string theory,
you know, basics.
The letters here,
what language is that?
It's 4th-century
Neapolitan Italian.
Which I love saying,
because it makes me
think of ice cream.
Neapolitan ice cream
is my favorite.
Really?
Mine too.
She is good.
I mean, if you had
to fall in love
with someone that was evil,
I can see why it was her.
Not that
you're in love with her.
Whatever the attraction
was originally
Did she take the bait?
I'm not sure,
but she did take my thumbprint.
- May I?
- What are you doing?
I am checking to see
if there's any use
of my biometric access
within the agency.
She's in Image Processing.
She must be duplicating
the code key.
Okay, I've left
Image Processing.
I haven't left,
because I'm here,
and she's there.
The next step will be
to bring the code key
to her handler
or whoever can use it
to read the documents
written about The Passenger.
All right, you will track her
and identify her contact.
That should lead us to
the location of the documents.
At that time, we'll spec out
a mission to recover them.
Jack has told us
The Passenger is your sister.
Hopefully what is written
on these documents
will give us
what we need to find her.
Sloane confirmed
the child is his.
I see.
I know how much this upsets you.
I'm fine.
Dad.
If Sloane is gonna be executed,
it should be for a crime
he's committed.
What exactly are you implying?
If you have evidence
exonerating him,
you have to use it.
I don't have any evidence.
You should go.
You know what I want?
What?
A normal life.
Here we go.
Lauren's mother?
Olivia? She's supposed to be
in London.
Looks like she just
passed her something.
Can you hear anything?
No, we're getting interference
from that fountain.
The Covenant needs you
to ensure that things
will be taken care of.
Oh, my God.
Hang on.
I'm gonna filter it
through the active
noise reduction.
You could at least pretend
to mourn.
I killed your father
to protect you.
The sound waves are isolated.
I'm gonna invert them,
and that should
- Where are the documents?
- At home in Richmond.
The Covenant wants the complete
translations by tomorrow.
I'll meet you there.
Whatever they tell us
about The Passenger
we should act on immediately.
Lauren doesn't trust me.
Should she trust you?
Trust is based on honesty,
and when I've had problems,
I've talked to her about them.
What I don't trust,
what worries me,
is that I feel
that Michael will leave me
once I've mourned
the death of my father.
If that was true,
why would I be doing this?
If it was all fake?
I didn't say it was fake.
Temporary. Whatever.
If that's what it was,
why would I agree
to work on our problems?
Our problem is you think
you're in love with Sydney.
How am I supposed
to respond to that?
Honestly would be good.
Sydney is very important to me.
We have history, obviously.
We're together a lot.
We go away together a lot.
Did the two of you ever go away?
Never.
Well, maybe you should.
Do you have any trips planned?
Lauren's going to see
her mother in Richmond.
Only for a day.
It's a start.
It worked.
He's going.
- Hello, darling.
- Hi.
I'm so glad you made it.
You two young people
are just what this drafty,
old house needs.
Thanks, Olivia.
It's nice to be here.
I'll run these upstairs.
Thanks.
His being here is unacceptable.
I told you, I had no choice.
We're supposed to be
reconciling.
You getting a reading?
Tapping into the power grid now.
Now, the E.M. Sensor I designed
should lead us right to it.
We'll let you know
as soon as we find the safe.
Copy that.
I was just telling Mum
how great you've been
the past few weeks.
Lauren's been incredibly strong.
How are you?
I'm doing surprisingly well
for a pariah.
I never liked politics.
You never know
who your friends are.
At least now that
I'm the wife of a traitor,
I know the answer.
I had none.
Excuse me.
The safe is in the study.
It's Weiss.
He needs help on a brief.
You're cold.
While I'm inside,
I'll get you a sweater.
Thank you.
What have you got?
Okay, switching back to comms.
- I'm at the safe.
- Standing by for transmission.
Scanning text now.
Copy that, Boy Scout.
Receiving data.
- Have you decoded the documents?
- I haven't had the time.
Most of that was supposed to be
going on while you were here.
You do your work.
I can handle him.
I wonder.
One more page.
Should be another 30 seconds.
What do you mean, "whoops"?
Sensor picked up
a new E.M. Reading.
I think there's
somebody else in the house.
Someone is coming.
I'm almost done.
Sweetheart.
What are you doing in here?
I was looking
at our wedding pictures.
I remembered your parents
kept them here.
Remember that day?
I'll go get your sweater.
That was the happiest day
of my life.
Mine too.
I want to be that happy again.
What can I do
to make that happen?
- That's a start.
- Really?
I'm sure that's not
what it sounds like.
Not that it sounds
like anything,
'cause, you know,
there isn't any sound.
There's probably really not
Turn it off.
Sorry.
Bad idea to keep it on
in the first place.
Using the real code key,
Marshall was able
to decipher the documents
Vaughn retrieved from Mrs. Reed.
They detail a Rambaldi artifact
known as The Hourglass.
It turns out The Hourglass was
only recently sold at auction
to a man named Masa Raidon.
The guy running yakuza's
U.S. Shipping business?
Yes. Now, Raidon owns
a building in little Tokyo.
A yakuza stronghold.
He's got a nightclub
on the ground floor.
You might want to stop by,
have a little
And there's a personal
art gallery on sublevel 2.
That's where he's holding
The Hourglass.
But you're gonna
have to move quickly.
Why is that?
Well, according
to Rambaldi's manuscript,
The Hourglass will only reveal
the location of The Passenger
to one man.
Her father.
Sloane.
And he's gonna be dead
in six hours.
This is impossible.
Justice has been apprised
of Sloane's value.
They refused
to stay the execution.
If Sloane dies,
any chance I have
of finding my sister
dies with him.
Has it occurred to you
that your half-sister
might be a danger to you?
Yes, of course.
But it's equally possible
that I can help her.
She could be an innocent victim.
With Irina Derevko and
Arvin Sloane as her parents?
I don't think so.
I requested to look at
Senator Reed's personal effects.
Every notebook, memo, receipt.
I know The Trust exists.
Dad, are you really so bitter
that you would
sacrifice my sister
in order to get payback
for a 25-year-old affair?
Sloane deserves to die.
Yes, he does.
But not for this.
The director of legal policy
at Justice
has operational control
over Sloane's case.
He's coming to oversee
the execution.
I'll turn over the information
I have on The Trust
as soon as he arrives.
That should exonerate Sloane.
Thank you.
Sydney.
What exactly did you find
in the senator's effects?
Nothing.
I requested them,
but they haven't arrived.
Now I don't have to look.
Looks like the west stairwell
is your most direct access
to the sublevels.
What about countermeasures?
The best we can tell,
it's only the guards,
but we haven't had a chance
to do a thorough scan.
We're sort of working
on the fly.
Syd, about what happened
in Richmond
You were doing your job.
And she is your wife.
Not for long.
Jack, I want you to meet
Marlon Bell.
He runs legal policy at Justice.
Good to meet you.
I was telling the director
how pleased I am
you caught Sloane.
Since my signature
was on the pardon agreement,
I was embarrassed and relieved,
and if you don't mind
my saying so,
looking forward to seeing
the son of a *** die.
Excuse us.
You're not gonna help me.
In April '75 in Saigon
you toasted Sydney's birth
with a bottle of
Chambertin-Clos de B�ze.
Your favorite.
Now that I know
you have a daughter,
I thought I should
return the honor,
especially considering
they share the same mother.
Irina betrayed both of us, Jack.
She sought me out
for information
the same way she did you.
She was my wife.
She was a KGB spy
who cared nothing
about you or me.
I've always thought
that you understood
your relationship with Irina
was nothing more than that,
but now that
your schoolboy crush
on the woman
who destroyed your life
is preventing you
from saving mine
I will have to revise
that assessment.
Irina Derevko affected your life
every bit as much
as she affected mine.
I knew the possibility existed
that Sydney would be
drawn into our world,
but I often wondered
why you were the one
who sought her out,
why you showed such
paternal affection toward her.
Now I know.
You did it because
you were angry and jealous
and wanted
to take away the one thing
that was important
to both Irina and me.
The symbol of what we had
and you didn't.
Sydney.
You're right.
I'm not going to help you.
Since this is
the last conversation
we will ever have,
I want to make this
perfectly clear.
What you have done
to my daughter
is nothing compared
to what I will do
when I find yours.
Salud.
Half an hour.
I'm on the list.
Everyone's on the list.
My friends are waiting
for me inside.
Wait your turn.
Till then, stop talking to me.
- Back in line.
- Hey, lay off the suit, man.
Why don't you find
your way home?
Oh, you're a big tough guy now?
Living the dream?
You want to see
what I'm dreaming?
All right, take it easy.
You win.
I pray for you.
I pray your soul can find
peace in the next life.
That's very kind, Marcus.
Let's go.
I'm heading down.
Copy that, Mountaineer.
You're all clear.
Marshall, work your magic.
I should have it open for you
in right now.
Lauren,
this is restricted access.
I cleared it with Justice.
I had no intention of missing
the execution of this traitor.
Marshall, we have a problem.
Copy that, Mountaineer.
What's the problem?
Motion sensor.
It's on a random sweep.
- That wasn't on the schematics.
- Must be a secondary protocol.
I've located The Hourglass.
Can you disarm
the sensor remotely?
I'm trying, but there are
a lot of dummy codes.
I have to extrapolate each one.
I've never seen
a system like this.
Is there a repeating prefix
in the majority of the codes?
It's an anchor-type design.
Grab Dixon. He specced out
a similar system in Honduras.
He'll know
what the back door is.
Dixon.
I can't.
He's downstairs as witness
to Mr. Sloane's execution.
The execution is going forward?
Yeah, at midnight.
I thought
You know, for some reason,
it makes me incredibly sad.
I feel like you're the only
person I can talk to.
Marshall, kill the grid now!
Right. Sorry.
Talk later.
Do you have any final words?
I do.
For you who pay witness
I can only believe
there is a common thought
amongst you all.
This is as it should be.
I do not disagree.
My only request.
That if my daughter
is in fact found alive
that she understand
my actions.
She understand
that this day's events
are the net result
of her father's passion
to find her
to know her
to love her.
We can't wait any longer.
I am going in.
Stand down, Mountaineer.
I'm almost there.
Raidon security detail
is two dozen strong.
� I watched a change �
� In you �
� It's like
you never had wings �
� Now you feel so alive �
� I've watched you change �
� I took you home �
� Set you on the glass �
� I pulled off your wings �
� Then I laughed �
� I watched a change �
� In you �
� It's like
you never had wings �
� Now you feel so alive �
� I've watched you change �
� I look at the cross �
� Then I look away �
Sydney.
Don't.
There's nothing you can say.
Sloane is dead.
We can now locate The Passenger
without his interference.
Not quite.
The code key you retrieved
from the CIA is unusable.
I can only assume that was
deliberate on their part.
Vaughn played you.
He's likely to try again.
But that will be
his last mistake.
I'm surprised you didn't get
the reference.
Modified Kayexalate cocktail
washed with tetrodotoxin
presented in a bottle
of Chambertin-Clos de B�ze.
Just like we used in Saigon.
But understand,
this was not done
out of compassion.
I orchestrated this because,
and only because,
I need you.
