Jack assigns
Dixon to fly to France and contact Renee Rienne. Jack also directs
Sydney to go to a safe house.
Irina waits for Syd at her apartment. Irina admits
knowledge of Prophet Five. She says that Prophet Five wants to
pursue "The
Horizon," which they believe Sydney knows about. Sydney says
that she doesn't but that she had shared the name of the French mission
with her father.
Despite Devlin's ongoing investigation, Jack enlists
Marshall's help to break into their archives and look up a contact
for the "Leo-47
Norte" mission. He finds out about Jean Bertrand's involvement
and forwards this information to Dixon. With Renee Rienne, Dixon
forces Bertrand to reveal more about The Horizon, which is stored
in a safety deposit box in a Vancouver bank.
Posing as an Italian family, Irina, Jack and Syd infiltrate the
bank. As Jack and Irina inquire about safety deposit boxes, Syd hacks
into the bank manager's computer.
With Rachel's help, Syd locates The Horizon's box and relays the
info to Jack. Irina tranquillises the manager and starts to work
on retrieving The Horizon.
With the lead that Irina had provided them, Peyton and her armed
men from Prophet Five arrive in the Vancouver building and kill the
guards.
With the Horizon -- which is booby trapped -- in Jack's hands, Irina
attacks him. Jack deflects her as Syd enters. It dawns on Sydney
that Irina orchestrated her abduction for Prophet Five. When Irina
insists that Peyton will kill her too, Jack responds by saying he
will kill Irina first. Suddenly, Sydney's contractions begin.
Believing she's helping Jack and Syd, Rachel, under Sloane's direction,
deletes records of Sloane's outgoing transmission to his Prophet
Five contact.
With Peyton's team on the move, Irina leads Syd and Jack to the
roof, where a helicopter will extract them. Peyton watches them on
a surveillance camera. She picks up a rocket-launcher and blasts
the copter to pieces. Jack tells Syd to keep a gun on her mother
as he goes back down to fight Peyton's team. After killing her henchmen,
Jack squares off with Peyton. He takes aim at a nearby fire extinguisher,
which explodes, killing her. Or so he thinks.
Irina tells Syd that the KGB forced her to bear Jack's child to
ensure his loyalty. When Syd was born, she says, she had to choose
between being a good agent or being a good mother -- or fail at both.
She chose being a good agent. At this moment, Sydney goes into labour.
Jack arrives to calm Sydney down as she goes into labour. With both
her parents' support, Sydney delivers a baby girl. Irina bolts with
the pouch containing The Horizon, while Sydney and Jack swaddle the
baby. Marshall receives a call from Irina, who tells him that Sydney
and Jack need extraction.
In Bhutan, a horseman speeds to an isolated hut by
the hillside. He relays a message to a monk sitting calmly in the
middle of the
room. The monk then walks to another room and shares the news of
Sydney's infant daughter with a fellow monk….Michael Vaughn!
