Episode 10: S.O.S.
04/19/06
At sea on a cargo ship, Sydney hurries to the lower deck,
finds a radio, and issues a distress signal.
At APO, Jack tells Sloane that Prophet 5 has Syd. Marshall
recovers Sydney's transmission but it's deleted by a Langley
insider before he could listen to it - meaning Prophet 5 has
infiltrated the CIA. They determine to go to Langley to recover
the message.
Marshall and Dixon join a group of tourists at CIA headquarters.
Meanwhile, Tom goes to the Payroll Department to complain
about a missed paycheck. Rachel, pretending she has an interview,
leaves her cell phone with the guard. The cell phone is actually
a device that infiltrates security. Tom commandeers a Payroll
Dept. desktop and, using the data sent from the cell phone,
grants Rachel security access to the CIA server room. He also
unlocks the Witness Protection records room.
Marshall distracts onlookers by announcing he's cracked the
code that appears on a monument. Dixon sprays a surveillance
camera, causing an "Anthrax alert." Rachel then
slips into the server room but finds that Syd's transmission
was purged. Jack tells her to pull the hard drive, knowing
that it will raise the alarm and cause a lockdown. He calls
Weiss for help.
Weiss arrives and apologizes to Dixon, whom he calls "Ambassador."
While he escorts Dixon and Marshall out, he gives Dixon the
key to get Tom. Marshall ducks into an office, locates Rachel
with surveillance cameras and guides her through a maze of
servers.
On the boat, Syd holds Peyton at gunpoint and asks her to
explain the ultrasound images posted in a room. She faints,
however. She wakes to find herself being prepped for surgery.
At APO, Marshall and Dixon inspect the hard drive and discover
that the person who purged the records had Alpha Black clearance.
Only seven directors have this clearance. They also find the
secured cell phone numbers that enable these men to access
the code. Marshall says he can trace which phone was used
to access the server.
Tom uses Marshall's PC to decode the info he downloaded from
the Witness Protection records. The data contains photos of
his murdered wife along with the name and location of a man.
Later, Tom pays a visit to the man.
Jack convenes a meeting with the seven directors, Marshall
locks in a match and calls that phone. When Director Davenport's
phone rings, Jack immediately shoots him and forces him to
divulge Sydney's whereabouts. CIA security arrests Jack.
The doctors perform an amnio on Syd and decide to operate.
Dixon arrives on the ship and realizes it's abandoned except
for the infirmary. He spots the post-op Syd and takes her
to the helicopter.
At the hospital, Jack tells Syd that the baby is fine, that
the mysterious surgery actually corrected a placential abruption.
After a few minutes, an armed guard tells Jack that it is
time to go and a confused Sydney says reluctantly goodbye
to her father.
