The CIA are out of the picture, and the questioners are delving
into Sydney's background, and her connection to the Rambaldi
prophecy. They ask her to start from the beginning -- the very
beginning.
She explains how she was recruited by SD-6, trained at Credit
Dauphine...and in a painful moment, she must also relive SD-6's
murder of her fiancee, Daniel Hecht.
Sydney explains how she learned the truth about SD-6 from her
father... She then joined forces with the CIA and became a double-agent.
She confirms much of what they already know -- that her father
is in the same situation, and that Arvin Sloane recruited her,
and brought her into a life of espionage...But which does the
FBI want to believe more -- Sydney's truth...or The Prophecy?
Meanwhile, Jack tells Vaughn that her cover with SD-6 will be
destroyed if she remains in FBI custody much longer...According
to Rambaldi, the woman in The Prophecy will never have seen Mt.
Subasio in Italy. Vaughn has a wild scheme to break her out of
custody and prove her innocence...Vaughn and Jack agree that
she must get to the mountain somehow. If successful, their action
would defy The Prophecy.
Through a chance conversation, Vaughn learns that Haladki used
to be with the FBI. He asks Haladki about Sydney's location...
but gets no help.
As the questioning intensifies, Sydney talks about her mother
-- a deceitful woman who worked for years as a KGB spy... and
while being pursued by an FBI agent, she went off the road, and
disappeared with her car into a river.
Sydney goes on to explain how her life as a double-agent works:
SD-6 gives her a mission, then she meets with Vaughn who gives
her a CIA counter-mission. She refers to the explosion at Badenweiler,
to illustrate how contradictory this situation can be.
Jack uses brute force and a deadly threat to force Haladki to
divulge Sydney's location. The daring plan is put into action...
Jack, Vaughn, and Weiss rescue her and explain the proposed solution
to the Rambaldi prophecy. Sydney is angry at first, as her escape
now makes her a fugitive...but she agrees to travel to Mt. Subasio.
When Haladki learns of the rescue, he immediately knows who
was behind it. He discovers that four unmarked cars were taken
out, and reports these license plate numbers to the FBI.
Wearing a blonde wig as a disguise, we find Sydney's drive to
the airport interrupted, when the police quickly give chase...And
in an ironic moment across town, Will and Francie watch the pursuit
on television... unaware that their best friend is the subject.
After plunging the car into the water, Sydney has a burst of
insight... and breathes the oxygen from the tires. She stays
submerged for over ten minutes -- long enough get away.
Before boarding the plane, she meets with her father and reveals
how she escaped. And, if Sydney managed to fool the police this
way, couldn't her mother have done the same...her mother was
alive!
