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
realising 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 realises 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 realises 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 utilised 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. |
