Episode 2: ...1...
10/06/2005
At the seedy London bar, Renee tells Sydney that the people
who killed Vaughn own the bar that she is working in, and
they have an Operations Center downstairs. Renee adds that
since Sydney had blown Renee's cover by being there, she might
as well get what data she can from the servers below. Sydney
insisted on joining her.
After beating up the bouncer, and using his handprint to
gain access, Sydney and Renee breach the underground Communications
Center. They battled with the guards in an attempt to recover
data from the self-destructing computers and servers to no
avail. Before leaving, Sydney grabs a video surveillance hard
drive behind a panel and they escape. In spite of Renee's
hesitation, Sydney convinces her to accept the phone she is
giving her so they can be in touch, while Syd goes to Marshall
to help her gather intel from the hard drive they had stolen.
They split ways.
Syd meets with her ob-gynecologist and gets her first ultrasound.
Sydney sees her baby for the first time and gets emotional,
especially after realizing that she is on her own.
In the APO office, the team watches a video footage that
included Ivan Curtis, the man who killed Vaughn. Jack further
explains that Curtis was recorded dead three years ago, although
this video is dated only three days back. Jack concludes that
Curtis and Dean have access to high-level resources, especially
after seeing that all the traces they have done on them led
nowhere.
Later, Sydney calls Marshall to zoom in on a video footage
of Curtis dialing a number in his phone. They later find out
that Curtis was setting up a meeting with Heinrich Roemer,
regarding a package that Curtis had ordered. Syd visits Sloane
in his jail cell, and asks for Roemer's location since this
arms dealer had worked with SD-6 in the past. When Sloane
advises her to not act out of revenge, Sydney points out that
what she is doing is for her safety and her baby's.
In Amsterdam, Dixon and Weiss meet with Roemer for a "business
deal." With Sydney on video surveillance, Dixon starts
planting cameras in the building on his way to the restroom.
Suddenly, Sydney sees Curtis emerge from a car that just arrived
in the facility.
Roemer leaves Weiss to meet with Curtis in another room. After
showing Curtis that his order of Nuridium is at hand, Curtis
shoots Roemer and heads to the door with the package. Hearing
the gun shots, Weiss defends himself when the guard attacks
him. Dixon runs to Weiss' aid, and Sydney leaves her post to
get into Curtis' car. As soon as Curtis slides in the back seat,
he realizes that Syd is waiting for him, with a gun pointed
at his face.
At a CIA safe house, Dixon and Sydney interrogate Curtis,
who refused to give them any answers. In another room, the
team consults with Marshall on the phone, who warns them that
the Nuridium that Curtis already has in addition to the one
they had recovered, can enable a massive explosion similar
to Hiroshima's bombing - multiplied by 50. They conclude that
Curtis needs to be let go, so he can lead them to the other
cases of Nuridium. Sydney is reluctant.
Dixon goes back to Curtis, hands him a bottled water, and
starts convincing him to reveal the location of the other
canisters of Nuridium. Curtis, in exchange, drinks the water
and asks for immunity from his illegal businesses as well
as from the murder of Vaughn. When Curtis continues to insult
Sydney, Sydney kicks him in the neck to where he flew out
of the window and into the canal. Syd and Dixon watch him
escape, with the tracking serum in his system.
As Jack meets with Thomas Grace, a new agent he is recruiting
for APO, Sydney and Weiss wait for a signal from the tracking
device they planted in Curtis. When Weiss confides in Sydney
that he is considering a position in Washington, Sydney expresses
her happiness and says that she will miss Weiss. When Weiss
voices out his hesitation to leave due to the recent events
in Sydney's life, she insists that he should go. Suddenly,
the signal beeps in Sydney's laptop: Curtis is airborne, bound
for North Korea.
Using a stealth plane, the APO team approaches Curtis' private
jet and sends out a docking tube underneath. As they silently
boarded the jet, Dixon and Weiss head to the passenger deck,
while Sydney stayed in the storage area to attempt to dismantle
the Nuridium bomb. While looking for a detonator, Sydney realizes
that the container is not a bomb when she finds a body underneath.
Syd looks up to see Curtis pointing a gun at her. Syd counters
by saying that if he shoots her, she will cut the Nuridium
wires.
In the upper deck, shots were fired between Marcus, Weiss
and Curtis' men. The pilot is shot in the process and the
plane abruptly banks sideways. Curtis is knocked to the ground
and Sydney gains the upperhand when she grabs the gun from
the floor and points it at Curtis. As Dixon regains control
of the jet, Sydney continues to ask Curtis more questions
about Prophet Five and offers to protect him. Curtis says
they can't, and terrified of the group he is working for,
he pulls the cargo door release button and throws himself
out the plane.
Back in the APO office, Jack tells the team that the Nuridium
was not going to be utilized as an explosive -rather, it was
going to be used to power an advanced cryogenic chamber. The
body they found remains unidentified but is under analysis
in the DSR. When everyone leaves the briefing room, Sydney
reveals to Jack that she can't go on alone, and tells him
of her ultrasound. Jack assures her, by saying "I'm here."
Syd appreciates this deeply and invites her father to her
next doctor's appointment.
A few minutes later, while Weiss and Sydney were saying their
goodbyes, Dixon arrives and announces that the body had been
stolen from the DSR. Sydney calls Renee Rienne and shares
the information. Renee tells her she'll see what she can find
out. As Renee crosses the room, she passes by an open container
-with the missing body inside, alive.
