Episode 22: Resurrection
5/23/2004
Sydney strategically places cell phones throughout the office.
She patches into the CIA computer and downloads the Rambaldi
equation. Then she contacts Sark - Sydney is actually Lauren
in disguise! She shoots Marshall when he questions her. As
she bolts, the cell phones explode. Vaughn follows "Syd,"
but she knocks him out, then escapes by stealing a car.
The real Syd is interrogated by Hank Foster, Counterintelligence
Threat Analysis. Believing she was somehow involved in the
break-in, he reassigns her to a desk job pending further investigation.
Vaughn tells Jack that he's prepared to exact revenge on
Lauren. Jack tells Dixon to have Vaughn question Sark, in
order to to increase the psychological fear. Vaughn beats
Sark bloody during the investigation. Sark gives Lauren up.
Syd calls Vaughn, and intuits that Vaughn knows Lauren's
location. She asks Jack why the Sark interrogation is classified.
He dodges the question, saying that Vaughn should kill Lauren
to gain closure. He says that he regrets letting Irina go.
Vaughn spies on Lauren decrypting the equation in a warehouse.
He photographs the longitude and latitude, then surprises
her and administers a beating. About to disfigure her with
hydrochloric acid, Vaughn is stabbed from behind and collapses.
Sloane sneaks into a CIA safe house and begs Nadia to tell him
the location of The Sphere of Life - the vessel in which Rambaldi's
consciousness is stored. She's dubious. Before he leaves, he
tells her how to find him.
Syd and Jack wait for Vaughn in the hospital. Now Syd vows
to kill Lauren, whether jack, who is alarmed at her transition,
helps her or not.
Lauren appears in the jail cell next to Sark. She forgives
him for giving her up. He tells her that the Rambaldi info
is backed up on an offsite server and gives her the password.
It's not Lauren, but syd - who removes her mask! When she
determines that the equation leads to Palermo, Sicily, she
leaves immediately. Vaughn tells Weiss that Katya Derevko
stabbed him and that Syd is walking into a trap. Vaughn uses
Weiss to create a diversion and break out of the prison.
Syd finds Katya in the Palermo site. She says she's tracking
The Covenant and that she knows Lauren is present. Katya tries
to shoot Syd, but Syd had secretly removed the cartridge from
Katya's gun. Syd then shoots Katya. Lauren arrives but Syd
misses her shot and Lauren runs.
Nadia escapes the CIA safe house to meet Sloane, who tells
her that the Sphere may be compromised because The Covenant
has solved the equation. She says that she purposely altered
the equation - The Covenant is looking in the wrong place.
She and Sloane venture off together to find the Sphere.
Syd and Lauren fight. Lauren says that Syd still doesn't
know the truth about her life. Lauren is about to finish Syd
off when Vaughn shoots Lauren dead. Before she dies, Lauren
tells Syd that the truth is in box 1062 in the Bank of Wittenberg.
Syd and Vaughn kiss.
In Wittenberg, Syd opens the safe deposit box and finds top
secret documents. She cries as she peruses files documenting
her life, each one bearing Jack Bristow's signature. Jack
enters and says she was never supposed to have found these
documents.
