The voice
also provides him with another crucial clue...Jack Bristow
was the man who kidnapped Will. When Sydney
returns home, Francie talks about setting a trap for the rat.
This sparks an idea...perhaps the way to catch Khasinau
is to set a trap for him as well...Sydney explains her idea to
Vaughn.
Since Khasinau wants the ampoule containing the solution that
Cole tried to steal, they should offer to sell him the liquid...This
way, they can capture him, and hopefully find Irina Derevko,
a.k.a. Sydney's mom. The Kherefu Art Museum in Algiers is a formerly
suspected trove of Rambaldi artefacts, and Sydney suggests that
they stage a break in. They will dupe Khasinau into believing
that a second vial of the solution has been found... and this
vial is to become the subject of their transaction.
Before Sydney departs, Emily Sloane admits that she knows about
SD-6. Although her husband never said a word, she tells Sydney
that she picked up on it from little clues over the years. Unfortunately,
Emily reveals this to Sydney in a SD-6 operated hospital.
Pretending to be French insurance agents, Vaughn and Sydney
visit the museum. In order to test the security system, the power
is turned off for a few minutes... and during this brief interruption,
Sydney is able to steal the alleged Rambaldi artefacts.
Upon their return, Vaughn then spreads the word that Raslak
Jihad, a radical terrorist group, was behind the robbery -- and
that they now have the priceless liquid which will reveal Rambaldi's
invisible writing. He makes it known that the group will sell
it for the right price, and Khasinau takes the bait. A meeting
has been arranged in the Indonesian town of Denpassar, where
Khasinau's aide, Mr. Sark, will trade diamonds for the liquid.
Sydney is disappointed that Khasinau won't be present at the
trade... but Vaughn has his own plan. They will bring the real
solution, in case Sark wants to test it, but Sydney will then
switch this for a placebo...The fake vial contains an element
that can be tracked by the CIA.
Meanwhile in L.A., Will submits a sealed envelope -- containing
his piece of SD-6 reportage -- to Abby, another reporter at the
paper. He explains that if he should disappear, the story should
be published immediately.
At last, Will confronts Jack -- and explains that an unknown
source gave him the information. Jack denies any involvement...but
immediately, he pays a visit to CIA Director Devlin. He suspects
Haladki may be a mole; leaking the information to Will.
Determined to find the mole, Jack agrees to help Will. He confesses
that he gave the pin to Eloise Kurtz -- the pin that doubles
as a surveillance device -- though he did not kill her. He tells
Will to use the device to inform the unknown source that his
SD-6 investigation is back on.
Meanwhile, Tambor
Barcelo, head of security for the Alliance, visits Sloane at
SD-6. Emily's hospital room has been bugged,
and the Alliance is fully aware of her conversation with Sydney.
This woman must now be "eliminated" ...just as Daniel
Hecht was. Sloane is outraged, and refuses, but Barcelo knows
all about Jean Briault's murder. Sloane's position in the Alliance
is shaky, and he is in no position to object.
Sloane instructs Marshall to tap Edward Poole's cell phone,
and in doing so, they discover Khasinau's phone number. By monitoring
this line, Sloane learns about the meeting in Denpassar, and
he orders Dixon to make an appearance, and to recover the solution.
In Denpassar, Sydney shows up for the trade, wearing dark skin
foundation, and a veil as a disguise. Sark asks her to prove
her Raslak Jihad identity -- the members of whom practice an
ancient form of martial arts... Sark leaves her no choice but
to fight him, using a latajang -- a pole with curved blades on
both ends... Although she has never used one before, she quickly
adapts, and demonstrates skill with the weapon.
After Sark is satisfied, the exchange is made. Before she can
switch the real solution for the placebo, Dixon and a team of
SD-6 agents interrupt their meeting. With a gun trained directly
upon Sydney, Dixon finds something disturbingly familiar about
this woman.
