Suddenly,
a shipping crane with a large magnet grabs her entire car and Syd
is lifted hundreds of feet off
the ground. She gets a phone call from Gordon Dean saying he wants
Mockingbird back. In the
APO office 72 hours earlier, Rachel shares her guilt with Sydney
on getting her coworkers killed. When Sydney
urges her to
rest and points out that it is Gordon Dean's fault, Rachel insisted
on finishing her report on Dean. Syd then asks Rachel what "Mockingbird" is
as written in some of her reports, and Rachel replies that it's her
call sign.
At an industrial office, Gordon Dean tasks a man named Keach with
an assignment. After, Peyton approaches Dean and mentions that they
need money for an account transfer so they can rebuild their offices.
Dean types in his password.
Waiting in the APO office, Marshall announces that he has been monitoring
Dean's accounts based on Rachel's intel, and recently, Dean had liquidated
all his finances and stored them all in one account. Rachel shares
that the account is Dean's fail safe account in Cayman Islands, and
that since she built it, she had made it a trap-door account. The
only way to access it is to be at the bank and go through Dean's
protocol questions. The answers are in Dean's servers in the Prague
office -which has been destroyed.
Later, Syd asks Rachel to go with her to Prague. Using Marshall's
recovery software, they can reconstruct protocols and help Dixon
and Tom with getting into Dean's account before traces of Dean disappear
once again. Rachel adamantly refuses.
In a Federal Building, Sloane sits in front of Boyd Harkin, Special
Prosecutor to Sloane's case. Unsympathetic and determined to punish
Sloane, he lists Sloane's criminal activities, and expresses his
disbelief on the pardon agreements that Sloane had gotten in the
past. Sloane admits to his wrongdoings and promises that he is reformed.
Later, Sloane is approached in his cell by Keach. Keach says that
he has benefactors who can help Sloane. He considers this offer.
With their Czech Intelligence Badges, Sydney and Rachel enter Dean's
Prague office and heads to the servers. In spite of Rachel's anxiety
and difficult flashbacks, they find the hard drive amidst the debris
and was able to plug it into the laptop. Rachel starts hacking.
Dixon and Tom sit at a beach in Cayman Islands and were approached
by the bank's emissary, Pierpont, earlier than expected. After Dixon
alerts Sydney of the sudden change, they go into a cabana where Dixon
and Tom is seated. With the guards' pistols aimed at Dixon and Tom,
Pierpont starts asking them a series of questions. As Dixon subtly
relays the questions through his earpiece, Syd and Rachel supply
answers from Prague with the data they are slowly recovering. Despite
a setback, Dixon was able to withdraw all of Dean's finances.
At this moment, Dean and Peyton realise that they have been cleaned
out. As they conclude that Rachel is the only person who could have
done this, they make plans to get her back.
At the APO office, Dixon reports that because of the recent events,
Echelon was able to intercept a call revealing a location where Dean
stores one of his operation archives. With the blueprints in front
of them, they realise that they need to retrieve the archive from
an electromagnetic deposit box system. When Dixon mentions that the
mainframe resets passwords daily, Rachel blurts out that she can
get around it by decrypting the building's network. With determination
to destroy Gordon Dean, she volunteers for this next assignment.
At Monte Carlo, after Sydney heads to the casino and Tom brings
the car to the basement, he pops the trunk and Rachel goes with him
to the maintenance station. Rachel decrypts the algorithm and passes
the code to Tom who relayed it to Sydney. She goes back in the trunk
and Sydney drives off.
With her entire car hanging from the crane, Syd speaks to Dean on
the phone who is demanding that Mockingbird be delivered in 30 minutes.
As Dixon attempts to rescue them, a camera captures their presence
and the car plummets 20 feet. Talking Rachel through this predicament,
Syd asks Rachel to call Dean to confirm that she is on her way. As
Dean listens, he hears a foghorn in the background, revealing Rachel's
actual location. In a flash, Syd tells Rachel to kick the trunk,
and grabbing Rachel by her arm, Syd uses her laser cutter to attach
herself to the magnet -a split second before the car crashes to the
ground.
At the hearing, Sloane stands in front of Harkin, awaiting his sentence.
Sloane surprisingly gets pardoned and is released from the federal
penitentiary. Jack looks at him suspiciously.
On the plane ride home, Sydney tells Rachel that they can't release
her until Dean is brought in -and everyone involved. Rachel sits
back and realises that her life is never going to be safe. Meanwhile,
Sloane steps out of prison and walks into the light. |
