What preceded

- Hello? - The Rambaldi device in exchange for Sydney Bristow.

Do we have a deal?

Keep this phone with you at all times.

You will be notified as to time and place.

Do you have confirmation of the Covenant's demands?

My sources have confirmed they are holding Sydney Bristow.

They're asking for the Rambaldi device in exchange for her release.

During the exchange, I want Sydney Bristow taken out.

Why come to me?

Because I want assurance that Sydney Bristow is eliminated.

Your research in memory retrieval sounds quite promising.

Oh, yeah, well that's, that's really a trip.

Oh my God!

Will? What do you...

What does this mean?

What happened? We're pulling you out. - I gave you a shot of 10cc's of adrenaline. - Why?

- To wake you up. - No! I was...

Sydney, we are not going to let this thing kill you. Dad, I have to go back, there's something...

You were going to flatline again. You are not going back.

I was in my old apartment, I was there with Will.

- Did Will say anything? - No, nothing. But there was something.

The cocktail mixture really needs to be adjusted, you know, and...

- You're not going to put her through this again. - But I'm sure that I can give you something...

Will knew something. Dad!

Alright, Sydney. I'll contact the witness protection division.

Wait, no! Dad!

Pulling Will out of witness protection could be dangerous to him.

I'm not suggesting we pull him out. I'm suggesting we simply contact him.

He knew Allison. He was there the night you were abducted. You'd know if he knew anything.

Will must have been debriefed by the CIA before he went into the program.

Not by you.

You'll go see him, recount your dreams. See if we can get another clue to your missing time.

Contacting Will puts him in no danger.

Maybe not. I just don't want to pull him back into this. Sydney, you have to do this.

You looked like you were struggling at the end. What was happening?

When I was under, I fought myself.

I killed myself

and I heard myself say that it was the Covenant that had me

and that it wasn't an accident that I don't remember.

Dr. Brezzel commented that based on the data he compiled. He believed

the memory of your missing time has been removed.

What?

And that however the memories were extracted,

the precision with which it was done indicates you may have been a willing participant.

I don't understand. Yeah, neither did he.

Lindsey still biting? Lindsey clearly has his suspicions.

But his agreement to go along with the trade seems to confirm that he's accepted the idea

that Sydney is being held by the Covenant.

Where is Sydney? Pursuing another lead.

A result of meeting the doctor. Then, he was helpful?

Despite the fact that he almost killed her, yeah, the doctor was great.

The NSC is expecting one more call from the Covenant to set up the time and place for the exchange.

Sydney for the Rambaldi device.

You want me to make the call, representing the Covenant. - Yes.

We're heading back to the CIA to disabuse Lindsey of any suspicion that we've been in contact with Sydney.

the meantime, I've instructed Sydney to contact you when she's ready to return.

I just want to say for the record, concerning this exchange, Sydney's life is in your hands.

If you betray her, I swear to you, no matter what it costs me, I will kill you.

No need to worry, Agent Vaughn, I love her, too.

Jonah, come on, quit being management, will you? Let's go get a bite to eat.

I've got to finish this schedule by tomorrow. - Where you guys going? Chancetown's? - Yeah.

I mean, I'll save a seat for you, but you know how the women get around me, right?

Yeah, I do, yeah. There's probably no room for me.

See you later!

Hi.

I know...

- Listen... - You're dead.

I wanna tell you everything.

Is there somewhere we can talk?

Yeah.

Sure. Let me just go get my stuff.

- Will, what the hell are you doing? - Sydney Bristow died in a fire two years ago.

Will, I swear to God I'm me! I know about project Helix.

How the hell Did you find me?

- My father knows your case officer. - What's his name? - I don't know.

Sit down on your knees! Get down!

I'm gonna call Langley.I'm gonna tell'em you're here. You can't do that, I'm a fugitive.

That's part of what I'm telling you. If you make that call, you'll burn me. Oh, that's convenient!

Wait, okay! Listen, listen!

Remember, when we thought you were a double, you told me to ask you somethingonly Will would know.

Ask me something, ask me something obscure.

When I had my job interview for the newspaper, something happened to me that day. I told you about it. What?

Someone bumped into you on the elevator. They spilled coffee on your new white shirt.

You were freaked but Litvack said it made you look like a working reporter. She gave you the job.

You know that if I wanted to hurt you, I could.

You're my best friend. You're my oldest friend.

I love you.

Why are you aiming a gun at me?

Oh my God!

I found a marksman.

How much?

500 000 wired to this account.

Done.

There's no margin for error here.

If Sydney Bristow somehow survives this, I will turn over

the dossier of your extra-curricular activities to the Justice Department.

Dr. Brazzel?

Yes.

Considering everything, I suppose I was lucky.

I woke up in the bathtub.

The place was on fire.

I crawled out.

A few days later, I woke up in the hospital.

The fact that I actually wasn't dating Francie,

I thought that was the number-one

most insane story of all time.

But yours actually tops it.

She survived.

Allison Doren.

The woman you thought was Francie.

She's working with a group called The Covenant.

We think they're the ones responsible for kidnapping me.

For setting the fires.

You know, I've always thought of myself as a pacifist.

The idea of taking someone's life is just inconceivable.

If I had the chance to kill Allison...

I never would have come here if I didn't have to.

Are you kidding me?

Oh, my God, you're the most beautiful thing I've ever seen.

I went to see a doctor.

He had this sort of dream therapy

he thought might help me remember what happened.

I was hoping you could help make sense of it.

You were sitting in my apartment.

There was a box of cereal on the counter.

The box had a name written on it.

Something I kept seeing in the dream.

St. Aidan.

St. Aidan was a contact of mine

when I was an analyst at the Agency.

Yeah, St. Aidan was his code name.

What was his real name?

I never knew it.

An arms dealer put me in touch with him.

Do you remember how to contact him?

Yeah. He would only meet with me.

You know, I can go in again.

- No, you're not. - Well, maybe I am.

Assuming you can even get him. He would only meet in person.

I've spent the last two years of my life

pretending to be somebody that I'm not.

It's not your fault.

You weren't sleeping with her.

When you made contact with St. Aidan,

what was the protocol?

I'd dial a number.

An answering machine in Bucharest.

When it picked up, I'd dial a confirmation code.

I'd hang up and wait for him to call me back.

Yes?

If you can, we need to meet.

Tuesday night, 11.00.

Same location.

Listen to me very carefully, Doctor.

I need to know what Sydney Bristow told you.

The brunette.

Wasn't she the brunette?

Yes.

She was the brunette.

You helped her recover her memories.

Tell me what she found.

The morphine was very good.

Like the old days, when I --

Oh, but don't turn it off.

No.

Answer the question.

Well...

Answer, and then you'll get more.

She said she fought herself.

And that she saw her friend.

She saw Will in her dream?

Yes.

The father.

He said he would call a witness.

No, he'd call the Witness Protection division.

Yeah. Yeah.

Meaning Tippin's still alive?

Meaning I really need some more morphine.

I've earned it, don't you think?

And I --

Yeah, but...

Not so much, because I could...

I could --

I could over--

O.D.

As you know, a number of the cameras were shot out.

Those that remained functional provided us

with only marginal images of the men who took Sydney.

We ran the video through our database

and came up with eight matches.

Two weeks ago, one of those suspects

rented an A-Star helicopter from a dealer in Austin.

Where he'd also recently purchased a warehouse.

We went there, but the building was only being used for storage.
