Episode 1: The Two
09/28/2003
Sydney is where we last left her, in a Hong Kong safe house.
Vaughn tells her she's been gone for two years. Will survived
the apartment fire, he says, but she died and her remains
were identified. Vaughn's now a teacher, but the CIA sent
him to take her back. Syd attacks Vaughn and escapes the safe
house. She fights two CIA agents standing guard and Vaughn
finally brings her down with a dart.
She wakes in the Stafford Naval Hospital. Dixon is there;
he's now director of their division. Weiss calls Dixon away
— he says Agent Scott Kingsley has the chip and is on
a train to Avignon. He says the Covenant is moving to intercept
and get the chip. A lead has placed a Covenant outpost outside
Paris. Dixon returns and reveals that Jack has been in solitary
for a year, courtesy of NSC Senior Director Robert Lindsey.
On train in Lyon, France, a gunman shoots and kills Kingsley.
He finds the chip. It shows the schematics for an undetectable
spy drone that, the CIA believes, could be used as a bio-weapon
delivery system.
Sydney sees Marshall and Carrie, who is pregnant. In a meeting,
Syd tells Dixon she was held captive in The Covenant's Paris
base and heard Kingsley's name. Kingsley is just one of eight
recent murders of CIA agents. Lindsey's adamant that Sydney
go on this mission. Syd agrees on the condition that she gets
to see her father. Lindsey agrees.
Syd tells a handcuffed Jack, who's been charged with resisting
authority for contacting Irina (#6 on the CIA Most Wanted
List), that she lied about The Covenant's Paris outpost in
order to see him. He urges her to regain her CIA clearance
and continue his research into her disappearance. He knew
she was alive and has evidence. He also tells her that Vaughn
isn't worthy of her grief.
In a Paris hangar, Weiss leads Syd and small team looking for
the chip. They are attacked. Weiss is knocked unconscious and
his throat about to be slit by the man on the train. Syd saves
him. She admits she was lying and now if she goes back, her
clearance will be pulled. Syd must identify this man. Weiss
advises her to see Sloane, who now runs the World Health Org.
in Zurich and is a consultant for the CIA.
She barges into Sloane's office. He was expecting her and
identifies the man — Gordei Volkov — a Russian hitman.
Blaming him for her predicament, she threatens to kill Soane.
He says he's been redeemed, that the Rambaldi device delivered
a message of peace. He then gave the CIA info to dismantle
two dozen terrorist cells. Syd doesn't buy it.
Finding an old contact, Syd discovers Volkov has a meeting
in Prague. She ambushes him, blows up his car. In the ensuing
melee, Syd stabs him and retrieves the chip as he dies. She
returns to Lindsey, threatening to destroy the chip unless
he releases her father. He acquiesces.
Vaughn meets Syd. She's angry with him for looking for closure.
She says she would have had faith and waited. But now she
realizes it would have been an absolute waste if she had.
Jack returns to the CIA and takes Syd to a storage room.
He shows her videotape of a Russian diplomat named Andrian
Lazarey. On the monitor, a blonde Sydney stabs the man in
the neck, killing him.
