Alias: Search and Rescue

« prev episode next » episode

Rambaldi's catastrophic endgame begins to fall into place as a giant version of the Circumference/Mueller device is found floating over a city in Russia, driving the citizens mad. After a wounded Dixon reveals that Irina is alive, Sydney, Nadia, and Jack set off to find her. Irina had been captured, and then duplicated using Project Helix, in order to give the impression that she was dead.
Sydney and Nadia discover Irina is being held inside a camp in Tikal, safely in the clutches of Elena's army. Irina had apparently been working to counter Elena's organization, the Covenant, and actually PREVENT the Rambaldi endgame. Now they have to work to make sure that there is no other way to bring about the endgame. Add a recap »

Number 47: When Marshall examines the data from Lucien's PDA, there are two reference numbers with 47 one starts with 47 and one, as seen, is ref# 547-43-**** edit »
When Irina says "Jack, I understand why you believed you had to kill me, but the truth is, if the situation had been reversed, I would've found another way." It is a lot like when Sydney tells Vaughn if it had been him who had been killed or missing, she wouldn't have given up, she would have found another way. edit »

(Jack confronts the Project Helix Irina clone with out knowing it)
Jack: Tell me Irina, how did it feel giving the order? Was it difficult ? Were you able to remain cold, indifferent? Were you amused?
Irina Clone: Jack this is cryptic even for you.
Jack: Then let me be clear� how did it feel to pay a man� to kill your own daughter.
Irina Clone: You weren�t supposed to find out.
Jack: You didn�t feel a thing did you? edit »
Marshall: (about the giant Mueller Device over Sovogda) So what you�re saying is a large red ball, plus contaminated water equals a city full of homicidal maniacs? There�s a sentence I never thought I�d say. edit »
Sydney: I know who you�ve betrayed� if you don�t tell me what you know�
Nassard: You haven�t been watching the news lately have you? You�re too late sweetheart, it�s the end of the world, or haven�t you heard? Black mail is not as effective as it was once.
