Episode 21: Second Double
5/4/2003
Francie tells Sark that the CIA believes Will has been compromised.
Irina, informed by Sark, refuses to allow Francie to kill
Will but supports his set-up. Francie hypnotizes Will and
burns the mark of the second double on his retina.
Jack, suspecting Will of stealing footage of the Tuscany
raid and of being the second double, has him arrested for
espionage. Jack then shows Syd and Vaughn a digital recording
found in Will's posession — it's of them fooling around
in Syd's apartment. Later, Syd tells a frightened Will that
his ocular scan shows an accumulation of proteins, convincing
evidence that he's the double. Syd asks him in what room they
kissed but Will can't remember the specifics because Francie
has selectively erased his memories. Syd then blows her cover
to Francie, believing Francie needs to be protected.
When Will's fingerprints are found on the detonator that
killed Diane, Dixon pays him a visit in the CIA holding cell.
Will cannot convince Dixon of his identity and Dixon nearly
chokes him to death. Will is soon transferred to a prison
camp on orders from the Department of Justice. Sark tells
Francie that she'll have to kill Will in order to maintain
her cover. Jack confronts Kendall, who went behind his back
to the DOJ to secure Will's transfer.
The CIA has located Dr. Hans Jurgen, the creator of the Project
Helix equipment, and believes he may know the identity of
the second double. In a Berlin sex club, Sydney, clad as a
dominatrix, ties Jurgens up while Vaughn takes pictures. Under
threat of blackmail, Jurgens swears he doesn't know the double's
identity but says the DNA data is stored on a European server
farm.
Will's convoy is attacked. As Dixon fights off the attackers,
Will escapes. He desperately calls Syd, who wants to help.
Will, however, says he can't trust her, that she's destroyed
his life and he wishes they never met. Syd is still determined
to help and mentions the server farm. Will says his research
showed that Markovic owned land in Marseilles, and that might
be the server location.
Irina, speaking to a contact, asks for the blueprints to
a government storage facility. She then mentions to Sark that
NSA security is based on a keycard. Sark admits he authorized
the assault on Will and that Will is now at large. He suggests
that if they get to Marseilles first, they could exchange
the real double's DNA, which would prove Will's innocence,
for the NSA keycard.
Jack determines Will's fingerprints were placed on the detonator
after it was wiped. He arranges for Syd to go to Marseilles
behind Kendall's back, knowing that he'll lose his his managerial
position and be replaced by Kendall. Sloane unexpectedly confronts
Jack at a restaurant. He says he forgives Jack for his SD-6
betrayal, to which Jack replies that their friendship ended
when he recruited Syd. Sloane admits that was a mistake and
asks Jack to partner with him in the next phase of the Rambaldi
quest — and promises that Syd won't be involved. Jack
declines. Sloane, undeterred, says they will work together
again.
In the Marseilles facility, Syd's objective is to secure
a killswitch worn by the security chief and prevent the deletion
of data. Vaughn poses as a drunk, allowing Syd to breach security.
She finds that Irina has already killed the guard and possesses
the killswitch. Irina tazers Syd and destroys the data. She's
copied and transferred it to a secure location, however, and
will give it to Syd in return for a favor.
Will, believing he can trust only Francie, calls her. She
picks him up and they drive off.
