Episode 9: Mea Culpa
After
her fight with Anna, Sydney crawls out of the underground
tunnel and finds Dixon, seriously wounded. As a last resort,
she uses a satellite phone to call the CIA. A CIA helicopter
flies Dixon to a nearby hospital, though Sydney conceals the
truth from Sloane. Sydney is scared, as she thinks that Dixon
may have heard her talking to the CIA. Has she blown her cover?
At SD-6,
Dreyer tells Sloane that he believes Sydney is the mole because
she scored too well on the lie detector test. Sloane is reluctant
to agree, though he insists that he will "take care of
Bristow."
For her
next assignment, Sydney is sent to Tuscany to steal information
from Ineni Hassan's accountant. Despite Hassan's previous
alliance with SD-6, he is now their enemy, and Sloane wants
the numbers to Hassan's bank accounts so they can freeze his
assets.
After
Sydney leaves, Sloane sends a message to his colleagues in
SD-4. He orders Sydney's assassination, though the CIA intercepts
the order. Vaughn quickly assembles a team to rescue Sydney.
Jack learns
of the kill order and, with Marshall's aid, discovers that
the message was deliberately sent over the unsecured server
previously infiltrated by Vaughn's team. Sloane is tempting
the CIA, trying to draw them out. Jack argues with Vaughn,
and prevents the CIA from interfering. The assassination attempt
never occurs, and Sloane now believes that Sydney is loyal
to SD-6.
Meanwhile,
Will continues to investigate the pin that he found in Eloise
Kurtz's car. He's shocked to discover that not only is the
pin a small microphone, it's also still active...
One night
while drinking with Francie, Will shows her the pin. Both
of them start joking, asking a series of questions into the
pin. Just then, Will receives a phone call. A mysterious voice
tells him to keep his mouth shut.
From the
Tuscany assignment, SD-6 have learned that the accountant's
computer did not contain Hassan's bank account numbers, only
the name of a specific Swiss bank. Sydney and Agent Russek
travel to Geneva, in order to get the numbers. As Sydney reads
the numbers to Russek, a secret transmitter in her ear beams
the same information to the CIA...
While
monitoring Sydney and Russek's latest mission, Marshall discovers
the secret transmission coming from the bank vault. He shares
this information with Dreyer.
At a phone
booth, Will receives another phone call from the same mysterious
voice. The voice asks Will how far he's willing to go in order
to find the truth about Kate Jones. Will says he's up for
the challenge...and later finds a cassette tape in his glove
compartment. The tape is an audio recording of Kate Jones/Eloise
Kurtz being killed.
After
several days in the hospital, Dixon finally regains consciousness.
Sydney is relieved when he doesn't remember how he was brought
to a hospital. As she leaves the hospital, she's tackled by
a group of men. Sloane then receives a phone call...A mysterious
voice says "We got her"...
