Tom visits Rachel
in her apartment. She consoles him in his sadness and he leans in
to kiss her. When Rachel goes in the kitchen, Tom leaves. Later,
Rachel is abducted by Sark. Around the same time, Marshal is abducted
from his home and is brought to Sloane's hideout. With Peyton, Sloane
asks Marshall to hack into the government system and locate an underground
cavern by accessing the federal ground-penetrating satellite. When
Marshal refuses, Peyton tortures him.
Syd and Jack visit Carrie, Marshall's wife, who called them for
support in finding Marshal. When Syd reveals to her that Marshal
is still working for the CIA, Carrie volunteers to help and provide
technical support in Marshal's absence. As soon as Carrie arrives
in the APO office, she cracks the password for Marshal's program
to track Prophet Five members.
Later, Sloane confronts Sydney in the parking lot
as she was carrying Isabelle. Sloane tells her to talk to Marshal,
who is determined
to not give in. Syd then tells Marshall to do what Sloane says and
asks what he wants to tell Carrie. He asks Syd to tell Carrie to
finish reading the book "The Littlest Fish" to their son.
Rachel arrives in the same room as Marshal is in. Marshal tells
her that he needs her help in doing Sloane's bidding. To ease Rachel's
confusion, Marshall tells her that he had spoken to Sydney. Marshal
suggests that they leapfrog across the network so they would not
get caught in their hacks. With an understanding that Marshal actually
wants to get caught, they begin to work on their laptop. Later, Rachel
locates the cave that Sloane wanted in central Italy.
Vaughn relays Marshal's message to Carrie, where
Carrie figures out that the lead character in "The Littlest Fish" is
named Noah. With Sloane's motives, she concludes that Marshal must
be referring
to NOAA the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration-something
that Marshal must be hacking currently. Going with this possible
lead, Carrie sets up trip wires to monitor government hacks and pinpoint
Marshal's location. Later she finds Marshall triggering network security
protocols. She narrows his location down to Ixtapa and Jack sends
a rescue team.
In the basement, Rachel picks her handcuffs with an under wire and
with Marshal, they escape the guard who was sent to kill them. Followed
by other guards, they run through a corridor in time to be rescued
by the APO Team who just arrived.
At the APO office, Carrie reports to Jack that based on Marshal's
tracker, the Prophet Five members seem to be gathering in Zurich.
Jack assumes that Sloane must be presenting the information that
Marshall and Rachel uncovered -he then assembles a team to strike.
Retrieving information at Sloane's safe house, Rachel mentions that
Sloane is going to Umbria. Sydney realises that he must be going
to Mount Subasio.
Climbing the snow-covered mountains, Vaughn propels Sydney down
to the icy underground cavern, where she finds Sloane with the Rambaldi
amulet. When Syd holds him at gunpoint, Sloane says that a shot will
trigger a cave in. Meanwhile, in Los Angeles, Sark sets a timer for
a planted bomb.
At the APO office, Tom reports that based on the files in Sloane's
hideout, bombs are being planted around the APO office through the
subway system. Jack tells them to clear the office while Tom and
Dixon sweeps the tunnels for the bomb. Marshal and Rachel are tasked
to evacuate civilians. Later, Tom finds the bomb and reports that
it can't be dismantled because of the fail-safe components. He suggests
freezing the timer with liquid nitro to extend the countdown.
Peyton goes to Zurich and meets Prophet Five members. Standing in
the middle of the room and expected to present the amulet, Peyton
opens the briefcase and pulls out two semi-automatic weapons. She
kills all the members of Prophet Five and their bodyguards who arrived
shortly.
When the last of the civilians were cleared out of the tunnel, Jack
tells Tom to get out of the train and run to safety. Instead, Tom
asked to be patched to Rachel. He tells Rachel that if they had more
time, he would have asked her out. Sensing that Tom is giving up
his life for this cause, Rachel tearfully replies that she would
have said yes. At that moment, the building implodes.
Sloane holds the amulet against the light. He tells Sydney she is
not allowed to see it and he shoots the icy ground she is standing
on. Syd falls through and is rendered unconscious.
