Episode 15: No Hard Feelings
05/17/06
Jack tells Dixon that Syd, posing as Anna to infiltrate Prophet
Five, has put a tracker on the chip that she's delivering
to Peyton. He tasks Vaughn, who is still in Hamburg, to transfer
the Prophet Five documentation.
Syd hands the chip over and remarks that her superiors must
be happy. Peyton replies it's an inconvenience and throws
it in the wine glass. Having lost track of Syd, Marshall locates
her via satellite. Vaughn follows Syd to the airport and secretly
hands her a cell phone with a new tracker.
In Zurich, Sloane tells Prophet Five that he's finished translating
Page 47. He says that "the circle' will be completed
once the chosen one takes a rose from the San Cielo monastery
in Italy. He also points out that their plan might not succeed
because Anna is only posing as Sydney. Just then, Syd arrives
as Anna and meets Sloane. She tells Sloane that she had killed
Sydney Bristow. Sloane in turn tells her that she has to retrieve
an artifact.
Marshall tells Rachel that he flagged a message from Korman,
the man who supposedly killed Tom's wife. When Rachel says
Tom softened after seeing Korman's family, Marshal notes that
Korman has no family. Rachel asks for 24 hours to investigate
before Marshal notifies Jack.
Dixon arrives in Hamburg and asks Vaughn how he faked his
death. Vaughn explains that Prophet Five wanted him dead,
so Jack arranged to inject him with sodium morphate, putting
him in a coma until he was administered the antidote. As Dixon
hands him a photo of Isabelle, Jack calls and asks them to
be Sydney's back up in Italy.
In Italy, Sydney discreetly chats with Vaughn at a newspaper
stand. Vaughn tells her that there is no record of a monastery,
so Syd asks them to stand by until she meets her contact.
Sydney sees Sark in a betting parlor.
Rachel, in her car, sees Tom and Korman talk. When Korman
leaves, Rachel approaches Tom and demands an explanation.
Tom confesses that Korman, acting on orders from "The
Cardinal," killed his wife. Korman asked Tom to retrieve
his CIA-impounded car in return for information. Rachel hacks
into the Federal database and locates the car. Tom delivers
it to Korman.
En route to Italy, Sloane, thinking he's talking to Anna,
asks how she killed Sydney. After she says she shot Sydney
in the back, Sloane tells Peyton he wants to be the one to
kill Anna.
At the parlor, Sark tells Sydney that the one-time monastery
is now the La Fossa maximum security prison, and the rose
is located in the Northwest isolation wing. Sark then triggers
an explosion and pretends to rob the cashier. The police take
Sark and Sydney in custody.
As Syd and Sark arrive at the prison, Vaughn and Dixon go
underground to rewire La Fossa's internal surveillance network
and give Marshal access. They locate Sydney in the isolation
wing. Sark fakes illness to escape from the guards and hacks
into the system to open doors for Sydney. Sydney runs down
to the basement and sees a mural of Page 47. An old man shows
her a rose tattoo on his wrist.
Sloane arrives at the facility and asks the warden to release
the two Americans. Peyton intercepts the guard's phone call
and gives approves the release of Syd and Sark.
The old man gives Sydney an amulet, calling it Rambaldi's
greatest gift and curse as it is a defiance of nature itself.
Syd says she has to stop the people looking for it. The old
man assures her that she can't and says it's is only a matter
of time before "the light ends." She runs back to
her cell.
Peyton takes Sark while Sloane waits for Sydney in her cell.
He tazer her and grabs the amulet. Sloane tells her that Sydney
deserved better than an anonymous bullet and strangles her.
Syd pushes him away.
In the APO office, Marshall remotely triggers an alarm to
distract Sloane. A guard arrives and tells Sloane to leave.
Guards refuse to let Sydney leave and beat her. Vaughn arrives
to rescue her.
Tom meets Korman, who retrieves diamonds from his car. Tom
asks why a hit was put on his wife. Korman says that Tom was
the actual target. As Korman drives away, Tom presses a button
on his watch and Korman's car explodes.
In Sydney's apartment, she and Vaughn watch Isabelle sleep.
The phone rings - it's Sloane. Sloane tells her that he knew
"Anna" was Sydney all along and, thanks to her,
they have everything they need.
