Episode 13: 30 Seconds
05/03/06
After the APO team discovers that Anna Espinosa uses a call
center in India to route her calls with an encryption key,
Sydney and Renee head to Jaipur to remove the key so they
can intercept Anna's calls.
Posing as a perfume entrepreneur looking to use the call
center, Sydney places a "free sample" by one of
the desks that scans the Wi-Fi signal in the building. Working
from the outside, Renee tells Sydney that the router that
Anna uses is inside the building. Renee barges in as a robber
and holds everyone up at gunpoint. Using the commotion to
her advantage, Syd removes the encryption key from the main
router.
Sloane meets with Ehrman, his Prophet Five contact, in Barcelona.
Sloane points out that the cure for Nadia may actually be
fatal -- she has to be dead for 30 seconds before the drug
can be administered. Ehrman tells him to trust Rambaldi, who
engineered the cure for Nadia's condition. He gives Nadia
the medication and she wakes up from her coma.
When Anna's line goes active, the APO team hears Kelly Peyton
talking to a Moritz Koller, whom they locate in Zurich. Via
satellite, they zoom in on his suitcase and find Page 47 of
the Rambaldi manuscript. They later learn that he is an art
historian who freelances for criminal organizations.
Sloane tells Jack that he was forced to fund research to
find Nadia's cure. After Sloane departs, Jack asks Dixon to
investigate Sloane's recent activities and to focus on Barcelona.
Jack and Dixon share their suspicions regarding Sloane's
with Syd. She reserves judgment until they find proof. Jack
then grants Sloane a leave of absence. He also asks if Sloane
knew about Anna and her contact with Prophet Five. Sloane
denies any knowledge.
Syd tells Nadia that she had never seen Sloane so devoted
to anyone. Just then Syd receives a call from Jack, who says
he's tailing Sloane. Nadia joins Jack. They follow Sloane
to a storage facility, where he retrieves Nadia's clothes.
Jack confirms that Sloane's alibi -that he was researching
cures in Barcelona - holds.
Meanwhile, Tom and Renee contact Moritz. Renee lures him
and they take him into custody. Moritz reveals that he's to
meet Anna the next day, and that his Page 47 is a fake. Syd
advises them to continue the meet with Anna.
In Sloane's home, he opens the suitcase containing Nadia's
clothes. He lifts a panel and removes the original Page 47
of the Rambaldi manuscript. Sloane quickly hides the page
underneath a mat on his desk when Nadia arrives. She expresses
a desire to live with him.
After a warm talk, Sloane makes dinner. Nadia wanders into
Sloane's office, where she accidentally finds Page 47. Hurt
and horrified at the finding, she throws the page into the
fireplace. Sloane lunges for the page, shoving Nadia onto
a glass table. She dies when the shards pierce her neck.
The APO team, joined by Renee, moves to ambush Anna in Ghana.
A car arrives, but plows into a marketplace. They inspect
the car, but Anna is nowhere to be found. Renee then consults
with Syd - except it's really Anna - who slits her throat.
Sloane tells Ehrman that he's betrayed his loved ones. He
also points out that death is a necessary sacrifice in proving
Rambaldi's prophecy. As the chosen one, Sloane assures Ehrman
that he has selected the road to follow. Ehrman welcomes him
into Prophet Five.
