Jack and Dixon
recall that it was an SD-6 mission that took place in a French
territory. Jack then 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!
