Episode 6: The Nemesis
11/02/2003
Sloane tells Syd that intel about The Covenant's next move
is encoded in an image of the Vatican on a web site. She says
that he'll never have her trust or Jack's friendship.
At the CIA, Dixon says The Covenant is after device that
can interface with Russia's launch control, given them access
to their nuclear arsenal. Its designer, Robert Lang, altered
his appearance and is on the run. He is to retrieve new identity
papers from Heinrich Strauss at a Milan nightclub. The Covenant
wants to grab Lang and the device. Dixon assigns a reluctant
Syd to be Sloane's handler and says Allison Doren is alive.
An unnerved Syd later says she will kill Allison.
Sark meets Allison in Strassburg, rekindling their love.
Allison explains that The Covenant found her and Syd after
their fight. She recovered in 6 months and has been working
for them since. Sark says will find his father's murderer
and Allison swears Syd will pay for her scars.
Lindsay tells Lauren that a Russian government source has
info that could lead to Lazarey's murder and that The Covenant
has moles in the Russian government. He swears Lauren to secrecy
and sends her to meet the source in Moscow. Lauren lies to
Vaughn about the trip. He gives Lauren a database of Lazarey's
phone calls, suggesting the murderer may be traced through
calls.
In Milan, Syd is disguised as a Euro clubber. Vaughn uses
a Marshall-made mini x-ray camera, rigged via Syd's necklace,
which can spot facial reconstruction. Sark and Allison appear.
Lang retrieves his papers and bolts when Allison kills Strauss.
They all chase Lang, but Allison finds him first and extracts
a tooth before killing him. Syd discovers the body, whereupon
Allison knocks her unconscious.
Back at the CIA, the x-ray images of Lang's tooth reveal
a filling that is a Radio Frequency Identification chip. Lang
used the chip to open the launching device. Lauren discovers
a call from Lazarey's murderer and tracks it, through voice
analysis, to the London address KNG Microtech. The office
is empty but Lauren discovers it was leased to Julia Thorne.
Syd forces Sloane to meet with Sark and Allison in Prague
and get them to divulge the location of the device. Using
his cover as a double-agent, Sloane coaxes Sloane to admitting
the device is in a vault in Sophia, Bulgaria. Syd makes Sloane
ask about her past. Allison says The Covenant ordered her
not to kill Syd because they want to retrieve something her
memory. This makes Syd want to undergo CIA memory retrieval,
which Jack vehemently opposes.
Dixon sends Vaughn and Syd to Sofia. He privately admits
to Syd that he wants Allison dead because she murdered his
wife. Using a tracking device, Syd and Vaughn find Allison
in an abandoned building in Sofia and give chase. Allison
corners Syd and says that Syd had discovered a formula for
a medication in the Rambaldi journal — which was ultimately
used to heal Allison's wounds. Syd grabs Allison's gun and
shoots. She alive, but barely. They find the device on her
body.
Syd's suspicions are raised when Vaughn knows nothing about
the formula. They find the ambulance overturned, the medics
dead and Allison missing.
