All language subtitles for Alias S02E11 A Higher Echelon_Track02

Previously on "alias"...

Jack Bristow,
this is ariana Kane.

Ms. Kane is the head
of alliance counterintelligence.

She's here to investigate
the events leading up

to Emily's disappearance

and the subsequent attempts
to blackmail me.

If sloane gets ahold
of that Echelon terminal,

the alliance will be able
to eavesdrop on corporations,

law enforcement,
political campaigns --

the potential for blackmail
and insider trading

would be unlimited.

Gerard cuvee --

former leader of the people's
revolutionary front.

One of cuvee's men
placed a call

to a data storage facility
in London.

It's likely cuvee duplicated
the Echelon software

and had them stored
in a secure server there.

Sydney,
you're going in with Marshall.

Wait a minute. What?

You're the only one qualified
to hack the server

without the aid
of an electronic device.

Marshall has
a photographic memory.

Once the files flash across
the screen, he'll remember them.

I can't just give SD-6
a fake Marshall.

No...

But we can
pull him out of SD-6.

Mom, I-I'll be home
in a little while.

I'm just getting back

from my big business trip
in London.

At the intercept point?
Who did?

Please
don't hurt me. Please.

Some people
think there's a conspiracy,

that the government
eavesdrops on everyone.

Faxes,
Internet communications,

phone calls -- all routed
to high-speed

voice and optical recognition
computers.

They can analyze words
spoken and written

in every common language
on earth.

Yeah, looking
for key words.

The system scans 2 million
conversations an hour.

Yeah, while shamelessly
violating the constitution.

The national
security agency argues

it's one of its most important
weapons against terrorists,

and they don't
abuse the system.

Somehow
that's unreassuring.

Well, there's this man
named Gerard cuvee

who figured out
how to hack into Echelon.

He was able to pick up
secure military communications.

Because of that, he was able
to locate and destroy

a U.S. military lab
in dresden.

In London, we shut down
cuvee's access to Echelon,

and, thank God,
kept it away from SD-6.

So you get Echelon,
you become big brother.

The best thing
about this mission --

this guy that I work with --
he's a sweetheart -- Marshall --

was pulled out of SD-6

and taken
into protective custody.

The CIA's going
to give him a life.

A real life.

I can't tell you what a relief
it is knowing he's safe.

You took something
that doesn't belong to you.

Uh-huh.

My employer
would like it back.

Oh, please, help -- oh.

Aah! Aah!

No, please,
no, no, no!

Epoxy...

Is a binary compound.

You have just ingested
the resin.

Alone, it's not toxic.

But in combination
with a hardener,

the epoxy cures,

passing
from a liquid state...

Through a gel state...

To a solid state.

This transformation

will puncture
your vital organs,

block your windpipe,

causing you to suffocate.

So...

Let's start over.

The Echelon operating system --
where is it?

Really? Who is he?

Someone in my department.

We've worked together
for about a year now.

You're kidding me.

What's his name?

Michael.

And he's...

I don't know
how to describe him.

He has a girlfriend.

Of course he does.

The -- the bank has a policy
against coworkers dating.

You know,
you could quit.
Francie --

they don't have anything on me.
I just can't quit.

It's not that they treat you
poorly, which they do,

but the thing is,
I haven't heard you

talk like this
in forever.

No one in the free world
works as hard as you.

I know
it seems that way.

Maybe you and Michael
are destined.

Maybe he can quit.

I got to go.

What's wrong?

Marshall was abducted.

What?

Our plan was to intercept him
on his way home from l.A.X.

I know what our plan was.

The extraction team
was about to move in

when they saw this.

We ran the plates
on one of the suvs.

It was rented
by Charles Williamson.

We put his photo I.D.

Through a facial recognition
database.

It matched a known associate
of Gerard cuvee.

What steps
are being taken?

CIA's got one team

radiating out
from the abduction point

and another in London
retracing his steps.

Our steps.

The mission in London
was my op.

Marshall was
my responsibility.

Before being captured,
Marshall e-mailed cuvee's copy

of the Echelon access program
to SD-6.

We took away cuvee's access
to Echelon and gave it to SD-6?

Yes, but when SD-6
downloaded the program,

they discovered a problem.

Marshall's e-mail was broken up
into packets of data

and routed to SD-6

via Internet service providers
around the world.

However, there was
a malfunction,

and several data packets
were not transmitted.

Without them,
we cannot access Echelon.

Can we fill in
the missing pieces?

I'm told
it would take six months,

and even then,
there's no guarantee.

Do we know
where the error occurred?

A government-operated facility
in ho chi minh city.

I'm sending in Sydney
and Dixon to retrieve them.

Who's leading the team
to recover Marshall?

We've changed
his access codes.

There is nothing
that Marshall can tell cuvee

that could possibly
hurt us.

He will be tortured,

most likely killed.

Oh, yes,
I'm sure he will be.

I've already contacted sd-4.

That was the extent
of his concern.

It was as if someone
had overcooked his steak.

Well, you know
what cuvee's going to do.

He's going to try
to get Marshall

to reverse-engineer
the software

and get back online.

Yes, but you need two things
to get on Echelon --

the software
and an access point.

Software is like a map.

It leads you
to the doorway of the system.

He won't get on,
not even with Marshall's help.

The problem is,
diagnostics has run

a comprehensive
systems analysis,

and they can't find
the breach.

Your mother thinks
cuvee may have used

a Russian network
to make contact --

their version of Echelon,
called swarm.

She told you that?

I spoke with her.

She thinks
she can find the back door,

then I would simply ask you
to inform Mr. Kendall

that the technicians
he'll assign to do the job

will discover
it is like quicksand.

Your father was correct.
I declined the offer.

Second only
to arvin sloane,

Irina derevko
is the last person

I want having access

to the U.S. government's
secure network.

She'd be watched.

I mean, if she tried
anything unusual,

we could just
shut the system down.

No. Access to computers
and telecommunications equipment

is specifically prohibited

by your mother's
immunity agreement.

I think
we might be wasting time.

Agent Bristow, we hire qualified
technicians around here.

What do you say
we give them a shot?

Your countermission
is simple.

In Vietnam,
you'll download

the data packets
SD-6 is looking for

and switch it with this.
It's corrupted data.

We'll have
what SD-6 needs,

and they'll never be able
to access Echelon.

And, Syd,
we'll find Marshall.

I will ask you
one more time.

Where is the Echelon software
you took from us?

I swear
on my mother's grave,

I don't know.

And though, technically,
mom's still alive,

she has picked out
her gravesite, so --

refusal to cooperate
has a price.

No, no, no,
no, no, no.

We can find your mother.

Okay.

Okay.

Okay. Okay.

I sent the Echelon software
to SD-6.

There's nothing I can do
about that, I swear,

but -- but I saw the code,

all of it,

and I have
a photographic memory,

s-so I can --
I can recreate it.

I can rewrite it.

Just don't hurt my mother,
please.

You leave my mother alone.

Pending the outcome
of my investigation,

your security clearance
has been revoked.

Get out of my office.

When Emily was killed,
you claim you were in taipei.

It is a fact,
not a claim.
When a blackmailer

stole $100 million
of the alliance's money

in exchange for pictures
of that murder, you were...

On assignment
in Istanbul.

Doing back channel,
unsupervised work

you conveniently arranged
for yourself.

You have
no protections here --

no civil rights
or civil liberties

or reasonable doubt.

See that
I'm not disturbed again.

Yes, ma'am.

Get everyone you can
from op tech now.

Notify assets in Istanbul,
taipei, and Azerbaijan

we will need
immediate assistance

in forging hard evidence
of my being

in each of those locations
on specific days and times.

We have a situation.

Ariana Kane, head of alliance
counterintelligence --

she's investigating me

in connection with the murder
of Emily sloane.

She's checking your aliases,
the places you've been?

You're covered for that.

Yes, passport stamps,
plane tickets --

enough to withstand
a cursory inquiry.

This is anything
but cursory.

I did not kill
Emily sloane,

but I do have secrets,
and the last thing I can afford,

the last thing
Sydney can afford,

is someone discovering

that my loyalty
does not lie with SD-6.

We've got the prints
for Istanbul.

This goes with the car
you rented in taipei.

We backdated phony charges
through my credit card

to these locations?

Restaurants,
rental car agencies, hotels.

Room charges --
they'll be on file

with the respective
concierges by morning.

Good.

Bad time?
Yeah.

What else is new?

Uh, you left word
with analysis,

when tippin's psych profile
came back,

you wanted to be informed.
Anything I should know?

Uh, just run protocol
and bring him in.

You got it.
Thanks.

What about surveillance?

We thought
about rotoscoping you

out of some other
surveillance feed,

but if they
slow down the frame rate,

they'd know
it was altered.

That's why we went
with the green screen.

This is the original
surveillance feed

from the Istanbul
intercontinental.

And this is the footage
that we filmed earlier.

Use some subpixel masking,
and we get...

I even gave you
a shadow.

We've got your fingerprints
on rent-a-car keys,

hair samples stitched
into pillowcases --
I want to review everything.

Jack, I think you're good.
Thinking isn't sufficient.
I want to know.

You're right.

I want to see
the plane tickets.

Accessing the system now.

I should be
in mid-presentation.

Thank you
for giving tech sky

the opportunity
to talk with you

about our microsatellite
technology.

At your direction,

for three minutes,
they'll experience it

like a daydream.
Any longer,

they'll regain consciousness,
and you'll be found out.

Now, make sure
you put these glasses on first.

They're time-synchronized
with the pulses,

so you'll be unaffected.

A small constellation
of satellites in low earth orbit

is cheaper to launch
and maintain

than a traditional
satellite network,

and if one micro sat fails,

the entire system
need not be replaced.

What you're looking at
is a typical tech sky package.

Okay, Syd, do your thing.
I'm almost in.

Okay, Syd, I'm in.

LAN nguyen.
Is that right?

Right.

His I.D. Will give you access
to any room in the ministry.

The data packets
are in the hard drive

which is located
in the server room,

two levels down, room 206.
You've got three minutes.

Syd,
you've got two minutes

to find the right hard drive.

I'm not getting
a positive signal.

Data packets aren't
on drives 1 or 2,

and drive 3 is missing.

Is there a serial number
in the third bay?

657-33p-y12.

That hard drive
is in for repairs.

Where?

Level 1, room 147.

I'm on my way.

No. The repair room
is just off the lobby.

I'll go. Meet me
at the extraction point.

Dixon, no.
I'll make it.

Robert Milton. I'm here
for the tech sky presentation.

I told you
I could make it.

Start over there.
Work toward me.

Got it.

Okay.

Let's get out of here.

Sydney!

The guards will be here
any minute!

This is a great victory.

You both should be
very proud.

Thank you, sir,

but our thoughts
are with Marshall.

Has there been any word?

No, I'm afraid not,

but our efforts continue,

as do our prayers.

So now SD-6
has everything it needs

to access Echelon.

Any idea on how long
before it's up and running?

Midnight tomorrow
at the latest.

You should have seen
the look on sloane's face

when we got back.

I don't think
I've ever seen him so happy

about a mission.

He said he was praying
for Marshall.

Listen, about Marshall --

one of our teams

traced cuvee's unit
that abducted Marshall

to a safe house
outside London.

By the time they got there,
it was abandoned.

It was wired
with 4 pounds of c-4.

Never had a chance.

It gets worse.

In light of the tragedy,

the director has ordered
a halt in the search,

so for the moment,
Marshall's on his own.

You think maybe he could
point that somewhere else?

All right, never mind.

Yeah. Dublin, I think.

Glasgow.

Two more,
I set a world record.

Will, I'm serious.
Last week, it was buenos aires.

Before, it was Tokyo.

I mean, it never ends.

Fran, you know how much
that used to bug me, right?

Oh, but now
there's this new guy.

You should have heard her
talking about him.

She sounded so happy.

She told you about a guy?

Yeah, somebody from work --
Michael something.

You know him?

No.

No, of course not,

'cause the jerks
at the bank where she slaves

won't let them date
'cause it's against the rules.

So they're not dating.

No, no, he's actually
dating somebody else.

I got
your psych report back.

You did well.

I'm not a sociopath.

Well, I didn't say that.

Do I have a job?

Yes.

A paying job.

Yes, as an analyst.

You'll be asked to review
classified documents

and file reports.

Think of it
as writing articles,

only now, your source material
is classified.

In fact,
your cover is as a journalist.

What does that mean?
Am I an agent?

What?

Agents are field-trained.

You're an analyst.
You're desk-trained.

You sit at a desk.
That's cool.

The agency operates

a monthly travel magazine
called "trade roads."

There's a small L.A. office.
Go there when we page you.

The materials
we'll need analyzed

will be there
when you arrive,

but don't remove them
from the building.

When you're done
filling out the paperwork,

just give it to bill.
He'll make sure it's processed.

I get health insurance?

Welcome to the CIA.

Thank you.

Listen,

obviously,
you're a good guy,

and I can't tell you how much
I appreciate this job,

and what I'm going to say
is inappropriate.

Sydney cares about you,

and what you guys have
or don't have

means a great deal to her.

I want to make sure
you respect that.

I just got off the phone
with the director again,

and he asked me again

if I knew we were
in the intelligence business.

SD-6 is,
by our best estimates,

less than 12 hours away
from accessing Echelon,

which would give them

all the intelligence
capabilities of the CIA.

Our efforts to prevent
Gerard cuvee

from reaccessing Echelon
ended in tragedy --

four agents killed.

As far as we know,

your SD-6 tech ops officer
Marshall flinkman

could already have cuvee
up and running again.

As for derevko's
intel on swarm,

info sec
has been unsuccessful

in their search
for a back door access point.

What the hell
just happened?

I had to
shut down the system.

Swarm detected
I was mapping its network

and spit out a virus.

As part of a plan,
something we can't see.

Then giving her access
to Echelon could only help that.

In this instance,
I think she could be an asset.

They found it --
quicksand.

I told your father
my terms --

full access to the network,
no restrictions.

Dad fought for you on this.
Don't make him regret it.

I'll need to send
an access code.

How will we know

you're not signaling
your organization?

You won't.

Do it.

Looks clean.

Slow it down 200%.

It's still good.

If this was faked, it's
the best job I've ever seen.

Is this the last
of the surveillance feeds?

Karachi, Istanbul, taipei.

Yeah, that's it.

I think
you should see this.

Yes, yes, we should have
full access to Echelon

in a matter of hours.

Forensic report.

Okay, alain.
Yes, I'll let you know

as soon as we're
fully operational.

Yes, absolutely.

Okay. Merci.

Au revoir.

Brain matter was found
in the barrel

of one of Jack Bristow's
service pistols.

According
to the munitions log,

he checked out
a glock 19 compact

for one day,

reporting a single
accidental discharge

and no casualties.

I thought you were here

to investigate the events
surrounding my wife's death.

Do you have enough cells
to do a DNA profile?

Already being done.

Well, if it matches
with Emily,

I want you
to let me know immediately.

You know, cherry pez,
the little --

candy, comes in the little --
with the superhero thing?

Yeah, I collect
the dispensers.

I thought I had the largest
collection in the world.

I actually wrote "the guinness
book of world records" about it,

and, well, they said that
there was a girl in Australia,

9 years old,
had a larger collection than me,

I'm kind of hungry.
You guys got some snacks or...

You probably --

I agree.

Something's wrong
with my computer.

I can't get online.
Can you check it?

Someone has launched

a denial of service attack
on us.

We're getting pinged
over and over.

It's slowing down
the network.

That's odd.

They didn't spoof
the origin I.P.

How can someone
be smart enough to hack in here

and forget
to cover their tracks?

Whoa, whoa, whoa.
What -- what's going on?

We have a firewall.
You broke through it.

I want to know why.

I was just trying to download
an mp3 off audiogalaxy.

Look, an mp3, you know,

a music file?

This I am 75% done with.
I just --

You like Sammy hagar?

I'll, uh,
go back to the program.

Marshall's
in Mexico city?

He signaled us
through the computer.

We traced him through
the I.P. Address he used.

Uh-huh.

Okay. I'll notify
the extraction team at once.

We'd like your permission

to conduct
the operation ourselves.

Yes, of course.

Are you making
any progress here?

Like Echelon,
swarm has access points.

If I can locate the directory

we will know if there's
any entrance points.

That way, we could keep SD-6
and cuvee off the system.

I'd like a coffee, please.

Cream or sugar?

Black.

Thank you.

Kane called a meeting.

Does she know anything?

Unclear, but I'm told
she has two units

from security section
prepared to take me in.

I have to be ready
for anything.

I have to admit
I'm impressed.

I've rarely found a record
as well-documented as yours.

You couldn't have been
more thorough if you tried.

If I may ask, what is it
you're looking for?

There are only two pieces
of evidence

I haven't been able
to corroborate.

Help me with them,
and we're finished.

Damn, she's got
the place wired.

Jack, we make six agents
from security section.

Every time you make
a phone call

on your s.T.U.,
the SIM card

on your cell phone
communicates

with the local cell tower.

Those communications
are recorded

on the card's memory chip.

It's kind of like
a mini travelogue.

We'll need the cell tower
signal codes

for Istanbul, karachi,
and taipei.

Jack, listen to me.
What pocket is your phone in?

If it's in the left jacket
pocket, hold up one finger.

In the right pocket,
hold up two.

You two ready to order?

Not yet. Thanks.

You have
my phone records.

Which we both know
could easily be forged,

so...

I'd like your phone.

You said there were
two things.

Who is Steven haladki?

He was a CIA agent
loyal to Irina derevko.

Whom you murdered.

We found brain matter
in the gun you fired

on the day
Emily was murdered.

I admit, I thought
DNA tests would prove

you killed her,

but instead they prove
you killed haladki.

We had reliable intel
that derevko was accessing

information
through the CIA.

Her source turned out
to be haladki.

He was crucial
to her operation

here you go.

If haladki worked
with derevko,

why hide his death
from sloane?

The death of a CIA agent

draws unwanted attention
and focus.

When it happens,
the safest recourse

as soon as I get
your SIM card.

Yes, of course.

I'll be in touch.

Move in on the package.

Are you ready to party?!

I speak nine languages.
Techno is not one of them.

Dixon, wish me luck.

I've piggybacked
onto the surveillance feed.

Are you getting
a signal?

One second.

Okay, Syd, I'm in.

He's in the storage room
on the 47th floor.

Take the eastern stairwell.

The room should be
the second door on your left.

Guards?

I make two.

I'll lock down
the elevators,

secure all access doors.

That should keep
everyone else away,

but, Syd, be careful.

Program's done.

We'll be uplinked
to Echelon

in two minutes.
Excellent.

Tell your, uh...
Boss or whatever

that I'm finished.

The program's written.

We estimated SD-6 would have
Echelon operational by midnight.

It's 10 after.

The blue are Echelon
access points,

the red
are swarm access points.

You said you would find
ones that overlap.

I said I'd find out
if one overlapped.

And if they don't?

Then I can't help you.

Ha ha ha ha ha.

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!

You know where you can go,
you freak? Any idea?

Kill him!

Straight to hell, my friend!
Straight to hell!

And kill his mother!

Let's go.

Yeah.

Syd, we've got a problem.

I've been locked out.

Their security system
is operational.

Dixon, we're trapped!

I'll get over
to you now.

There's no time!

Aah!

Come on!

Marshall,
we're on the 47th floor.

Remember when we flew
to London?

I said I compressed
a tactical parachute

in the lining of my jacket?

Well, as luck would have it,
this one's got it, too,

along with a hyper-extending
tandem sling.

Come here.

I got it.

Hi. My name
is Marshall j. Flinkman,

and I'm here
to rescue you.

If this was some kind
of manipulation...

The overlapping
access point --

as promised.

Confirming a match
with Echelon right now.

Close the access point,
and SD-6 will be shut out.

We have confirmation.

It's a match.

As promised, alain,

we have Echelon
at our disposal.

Oui.

I'm afraid
something's happened.

So Marshall saved
our lives.

How did I return
the favor?

By bringing him back
to SD-6.

We had to, Syd.

Bringing Marshall
into the CIA

didn't make sense
anymore,

not after sloane
got the Echelon program.

I know. It's just...

Marshall has no idea
who he's really working for.

♪ Vision, I am wondering

♪ fade to scale gray

♪ colorless and emptiness

♪ fills another day

I should go.

♪ Losing...

Do not turn on
the lights.

You shouldn't have run
from her, Jack.

Kane needs someone
to blame.

Since she can't find
who really murdered Emily,

I need you
to pursue them for me.

Can I trust you
to do that?

Of course.

This will stay
between us.

Jack Bristow
just left my house.
