Season 4:
Episode 22 - "Before the Flood

Jack, Irina,
Nadia, Vaughn and Sydney land in the city of Sovogda. They walk through a deserted street littered
with corpses and burning cars. As they wait for the Department of Special
Research team, they speak to Marshall and Weiss, who report that Director Chase
is trying to convince the Russians to call off the air strike.

At APO, Marshall and Weiss use the Blackwell Index to
blackmail a Russian minister into giving them the access code to a Russian
satellite. They soon discover that Elena is uplinking to the Russian network.

Syd follows a DSR signal, which leads to a severed arm. Suddenly, a CIA agent
named Brodien emerges from the shadows and tells them that his DSR team was
ambushed by the infected mob, which has left thousands dead. He reminds them
that the Rambaldi device is broadcasting a subaudible frequency that physiologically
alters people who drink the water. The symptoms, he says, are irreversible.

He also says the epicenter is located over the Oransky building, and that while
he has taken out the city’s power grid, the device is still running. Irina
suggests that it has been modified to run using an internal energy source. They
decide to take the subway, as it is the quickest way to the building.

Elena learns of the APO team’s arrival. When Sloane volunteers to lead
the assault team, Elena tells him to bring Nadia back and give her the option
to join them.

As the APO team approaches the subway tunnel, an infected
man impales Brodien with a rod. As Jack, Vaughn and Irina try to start the
train’s emergency battery system, Syd and Nadia go inside the train’s switching
room to force the train to stop at the Oransky building. Irina urges Vaughn to
tell Syd "the truth." Syd tells Nadia that Vaughn asked her to marry
him. Nadia and Sydney split up to manually adjust the switches.

Sydney returns to the train first while
Nadia, down the tracks, flips the switch. The train rolls down the tracks as a
mob chases Nadia. Jack refuses to stop the train because if he does, it won’t
start again.

Sydney stretches to pull Nadia to the train
but she’s tackled by an infected madman. Irina tells Syd that Nadia is still
alive.

Sloane kills Elena’s men and waits at the station. He tells them that Elena has
primed the world’s drinking ater. As Syd voices her suspicions, Sloane says he
allied himself with Elena to put an end to this himself, but Elena built in a
security device that Sloane couldn’t crack. Jack punches Sloane and takes
control of the team.

Marshall reports that Elena is going to use the Russian
satellite to distribute the Rambaldi frequency worldwide. Once it goes online,
the Rambaldi signal will be broadcast and everyone will be infected. Irina says
they need to shut down the device from the roof of the building.

Jack tells
Sloane to take them to Elena. Sloane cautions that once they disable the
device, the toxins will dissipate in the atmosphere and the person who disarms
it will only have a few seconds to run. When Irina insists that she can cut the
wire and reverse ionization, Sloane reveals that Elena had changed the wiring
scheme as a fail-safe. Irina orders him to take her to Elena so she can force
her to reveal information while Syd disarms the bomb.

Nadia fends off the mob and wanders the streets. She approaches a wounded man
who surprisingly holds a gun to her head and takes her to Elena. When she refuses
to join Elena, Elena injects her with the contaminated water.

Before Syd heads out to the rooftop to disarm the bomb, she turns to Vaughn and
says, "Just in case: yes, I’m gonna marry you." She wears his ring
and hops into the elevator.

Marshall tries to connect to the satellite. Weiss says
the President and his Cabinet are being evacuated to secret bunkers.

Sloane arrives with Vaughn, Irina and Jack. Vaughn searches for the relay room.
They strap Elena to a chair.

Sydney reaches the rooftop and opens a
hatch that revealed hundreds of interwoven wires. Nadia, now infected by the
device, walks toward Sydney. Jack and Irina urge a reluctant Syd
to take her out. The sisters battle. Vaughn blows the relay but nothing
happens. Irina tells him to get to the roof. Sydney knocks Nadia out and chains her up.

Vaughn arrives on the roof and realizes that Sloane is not there. Meanwhile,
Irina guides Sydney in disarming the device. Irina gives
her sister a chance to help them as Jack gets ready to torture Elena. When Jack
pierces her with a syringe, Elena yells that Sydney should cut the white wire. Irina shoots Elena
in the head and tells Syd to cut the blue wire instead and run fast — she only
has 15 seconds.

 Sydney is about to cut the wire when Nadia
strangles her from behind with the chain. As Sydney starts to suffocate, Sloane arrives and shoots
Nadia. Syd sees Vaughn and tells him to take the wounded Nadia with them. Syd
then cuts the blue wire and runs away as the device starts to fall apart. They
race inside the quaking building and sprints toward a shelter — they have just
saved the world.

Jack advises Irina, who is wanted by the CIA, to disappear. They kiss. Irina
tells Syd that she’s proud of her. She says that Syd may not see her on her
wedding day, but she’ll see Syd.

Later, Syd visits Sloane in a jail cell, tells him that Nadia is stable, but
they’re still trying to find an antidote. The Russian military executed all
survivors to support their claim that it was a chemical explosion. Sydney has arranged for Sloane to see Nadia. She
believes he was trying to do the right thing. Sloane thanks her.

Driving in Santa Barbara, Syd suggests to Vaughn that they blow off the big
wedding and elope. After professing their love, Vaughn reveals that that he was
a bad guy before they met. He continues to say that to begin with, his name is
not Michael Vaughn. Before Sydney can react, a car collides with theirs.

Season 4:
Episode 21 - "Search and Rescue"

Jack
regretfully recalls the time he shot Irina in Vienna, under the belief that she was
responsible for putting a hit on Sydney. Syd arrives in the office and tells
Jack that Dixon, who claims that he saw Irina, could be delusional. Jack
says that he killed a woman he believed to be Irina, and reminds Sydney of the doubling technology of the doubling technology of
the Helix Protocol.

Marshall bursts into Jack’s office and
reports that they found Elena’s associate, Lucien Nisard, who worked with The
Covenant. Jack tells Marshall to check the Blackwell Index
via Sloane’s computer.

Suddenly, TV screens in the APO office display news reports about Sovogda, a Russian city
in chaos. Marshall then receives a video feed from a hacker in Moscow, showing raw footage of
anarchy. The footage reveals a giant red ball hovering in the sky - Rambaldi’s
Mueller Device.

The team believes that Sloane and Elena have activated the Rambaldi device in
Sovogda, which resulted in unbridled aggression in its citizens. They conclude
that the city’s contaminated water supply combined with the chemical properties
of the orchid made the residents susceptible to the Mueller device. The only
solution is to disarm the device properly — and Irina Derevko, who is being
held prisoner by her sister, is the only one who can do it. They need to force
Lucien Nisard to reveal her location.

Vaughn comforts Sydney and tells her that they’re going to
get through this. As he was about to bring out the ring and propose, Marshall arrives and says that it’s
time to leave.

They arrive at a dance club in Ibiza, where Sydney goes in with Vaughn and spots
Nisard. Syd and Vaughn make out — and as Syd makes eye contact with Nisard,
she invites him to join them. They go to the bathroom where Sydney and Vaughn
transmit his PDA contents to Marshall. When they find that the Helix
Protocol is mentioned, Syd dunks his head in the toilet and asks about Irina.
Nisard confesses that Elena doubled Irina and confirms that the real Irina
Derevko is in Guatemala. When Syd and
Nadia arrive in Tikal, Guatemala, Jack guides them via a satellite layout of the
camp until they locate an underground cell. They open the hatch, finding Irina.

"I knew you’d come," Irina tells Sydney, and they escape. As guards chase
them, Sydney walks into a trap and is strung upside-down. Irina rescues Sydney while Nadia holds the guards
off. They run to escape as more guards arrive. Syd throws a grenade at them
and, along with Irina and Nadia, escapes on a raft.

On the plane, they tell Irina that Elena and Sloane have enacted their plan.
Irina shares that she found a Rambaldi manuscript - Il Diluvio - which revealed
Rambaldi’s desire for a complete cleansing through apocalypse. Though Irina
destroyed the manuscript, Elena tortured her to get the info, forcing her into
dozens of cardiac arrests. Irina admits that she finally broke and told Elena
everything. Now, they must go to Sovogda and stop them before they move to
another city.

Irina breaks down when she realizes who Nadia is. Later, as they look over a
map, they agree that Sloane and Elena must be somewhere in Sovogda but safe
from the Mueller device. Suddenly, Jack gets a call from the pilot, and their
plane is diverted by official orders from Langley.

As they land, police cars arrive and arrest Irina, who is still a fugitive. Syd
goes to Director Chase and argues that Irina is the only one who can help them.
Chase says the matter will be resolved in a few hours by a Russian air strike.
Syd points out that this will release toxins in the atmosphere and results will
be catastrophic. She begs Chase to trust her.

As the team prepares to parachute into Sovogda, Vaughn pulls Sydney aside and says that he wants to
spend the rest of his life with her. He gives her the ring and asks her to
marry him. Overwhelmed and delighted, Sydney kisses him and tells him to
ask her again on the beach.

The plane’s rear door opens and Irina, Jack, Vaughn, Nadia and Sydney jump out.

Season 4:
Episode 20 - "The Descent"

A tactical group infiltrates
the DSR and steals the Rambaldi artifacts. Meanwhile, Sophia says goodbye to
Nadia and Sydney, telling them that the Lisbon police confirmed that it is safe for
her to go back home.

In the APO office, Vaughn plans to propose to Sydney and asks for Jack’s
blessing. As Jack begins to express his disapproval, a team of CIA agents
arrive in the office with a search warrant.

Director Chase looks for Nadia in Syd’s apartment. When Nadia confirms that she
is the only one who has access to her laptop, Chase accuses her of overwriting
the DSR security system by deactivating the alarms. Just then, an agent finds
the bugged necklace that Sophia gave to Nadia.

Jack and Sloane arrive at the apartment. They then realize that Sophia must be
the reason why several missions have been compromised. Jack postulates that
Sophia is Elena Derevko, who unfortunately, had found them first. He points out
that the string of orchestrated events — Bill Vaughn’s journal and Sloane’s
clone — were her handiwork. Sloane adds that they can’t let her assemble the
Rambaldi artifacts. Later, Sloane tells Nadia that Elena will go to Lazlo Drake
with the Rambaldi pieces.

Nadia flashes back to a year earlier in China, where she and Sloane met
Drake. Sloane explains that Drake discovered a manuscript - a template
describing how Rambaldi’s artifacts should be assembled, bringing forth the
final prophecy. Drake is taken with Nadia, but he refuses to share information
since Sloane is still missing one artifact: the Sphere of Life. He says that
Nadia is the only one who can retrieve the Sphere.

They then go to an underground cave in Sienna, where Sloane asks Nadia to
obtain the Sphere in a box perched on a podium that is surrounded by stained
glass floors. Nadia carefully walks on the creaking glass and opens the box. As
she touches the Sphere, she sees a vision of destruction and refuses to bring
the Sphere to her father. Sloane calls her a coward and attempts to walk across
the glass floor by himself. The floor shatters and he falls through, impaling
him. Nadia nurses him back to health.

In the
present, Sloane tells the team about Drake and adds that in Elena’s hands,
Rambaldi’s endgame is apocalypse. They attempt to locate Drake, who has been in
hiding with the aid of Grayson Wells - a billionaire who financed Drake’s
earlier Rambaldi research. Sloane tasks the team to approach Wells, and says he
will talk to Drake himself.

At Cannes, Sydney poses as a spoiled heiress in a
jewelry store and brushes past Wells. She pretends to purchase a bracelet and
charms Wells into putting it on her wrist. As Wells sees a Rambaldi mark on Sydney’s hand similar to his, he offers to
buy the bracelet for her. Later, Wells now tied to a chair,   Sydney
phones Sloane with the
location.

Syd meets Sloane in Mexico. When she expresses her suspicions,
Sloane tells her that he would never do anything to hurt Nadia. They approach a
trailer; Drake lies dead inside. Syd finds a surveillance video recorded from a
hidden camera, revealing Elena chatting with Drake. Before Sydney can listen to their
conversation, Sloane stabs her with a tranquilizer and heads out to Elena’s
office.

Jack arrives in Katya’s jail cell and demands to know Elena’s operations. In
response, Katya asks for a full pardon and immediate release. When Jack says
he’ll do everything he can, Katya reveals that Elena has been acquiring
artifacts for several years through her front — The Covenant. Katya says she
can help him find her, but it is only Irina who can stop Elena from acting on
her end game. Jack, if you recall, murdered Irina.

Finding out that Elena is in an industrial facility in Prague, Syd, Nadia and Dixon prepare to infiltrate. Dixon arrives at a loading dock and
watches the guards put a prisoner in the van. Sloane emerges from the shadows
and points a gun at Dixon. He asks for Dixon’s trust and tells him to get out of
there. Suddenly, Dixon is shot from behind by Elena and Sloane looks at Dixon regretfully before leaving. 

At the hospital, Syd and Jack observe as Director Chase cares for Dixon. Jack admits that he lost sight of
the one thing he knew to be true — that Sydney’s mother, Irina, would never hurt Sydney.

Jack crosses paths with Vaughn in an elevator. He says that if Vaughn honestly
believes that he can make Sydney happy, then Vaughn has his
blessing.

 Dixon regains consciousness and
talks to Nadia and Sydney. He tells them that he saw a shackled prisoner at the
loading dock: Irina Derevko.

Season 4: Episode 19 - "In
Dreams"

Sloane’s
impostor (Sloane 2) arrives at an Italian monastery to discuss with Father
Kampinski his experiments on breeding the aggression out of bees. As Kampinski
shows him a supposedly extinct orchid mentioned in Rambaldi’s Vespertine
papers, Sloane 2 offers 50 million dollars in exchange for a cutting and the
text. Denied, Sloane 2 has an accomplice trigger Rambaldi’s Mueller Device,
which causes the bees to attack and sting the monks to death.

Sloane informs the team of the orchid theft and orders them to recover the
orchid and find the impostor. Marshall says that this orchid has
properties that heighten receptivity. Privately, Jack confronts Sloane, blaming
him for this predicament.

The team sets a trap for Sloane 2, bringing him out by pretending to put the
Vespertine text up for auction in Paris. Via surveillance, Dixon and Vaughn chase a man
attempting to steal the papers. They stop a delivery truck. In the back, they
find Sloane 2.

During questioning, Sloane 2 invites Syd to work with him. He proposes
eliminating the world’s bad guys and fostering harmonic coexistence by
administering the orchid extract to the general population via drinking water.

Marshall points out that Sloane 2’s brain
patterns are identical to Sloane. He also recalls working on an SD-6 program
for brain imprinting that Jack says was run by Calvin McCullough, a senior
partner in SD-6. Project Brainstorm’s purpose was to explore experimental
technologies for interrogation, brainwashing and transferring memories. They
conclude that finding McCullough will lead them to the orchid.

Vaughn and Dixon approach McCullough in Buenos Aires. He admits that he made
Sloane 2 believe that he is Arvin Sloane, but that Sloane 2 double-crossed him
and kept the orchid for himself. As he calmly adds a packet of cyanide to his
coffee, he declares that his employer wouldn’t let him be interrogated. He
drinks up and dies.

Sloane confesses that through Omnifam
he contaminated the drinking water of 400 million people worldwide as the first
phase of creating a more peaceful species of human. The second phase, based on
Rambaldi’s teachings, was to introduce the orchid’s nectar into the water
supply. But without the orchid, Sloane’s attempts at duplicating the formula
failed. Now that Sloane 2 has the orchid, however, he has only to drop the
nectar into the water supply to bring the affected people under his control.

Marshall tells the team that Sloane 2 was created from Sloane’s own brain scans. He
postulates that the Sloane clone won’t reveal the orchid’s location unless he
stops believing that he’s Arvin Sloane. The only way to do this, he says, is to
shock Sloane’s personality out of him using a traumatic memory. In order to present
the most vivid memory, Sloane must relive the past.

Jack hypnotizes Sloane and guides him through his memory. Sloane’s sees his
pregnant wife Emily and they decide that their daughter will be named
Jacquelyn. They are devastated when Jacquelyn dies shortly after birth.

They upload this painful memory to Sloane 2, who suddenly reveals that he’s a
prisoner of war named Ned Bolger. He says that the orchid is located in.
Shortly thereafter, he switches back to the Sloane 2 personality and breaks
down.

Sloane refuses to wake up, preferring to alter his memory and live on happily
with Emily and a healthy Jacquelyn. Forcing him awake, Marshall says, may kill him. Nadia
nonetheless wants to get him back. She gently tells Sloane that he can’t stay
in his dream because his must undo what he’s set in motion. When Sloane admits
that he’s ashamed of his past, Nadia says she believes that he can redeem
himself.

Sloane awakens and Nadia embraces
him. Alone with Jack, Sloane reveals that Rambaldi meant nothing to him until
after Jacquelyn died, when he used the writings to fill the hole in his heart.
Seeing Ned showed him how much of himself he had lost. He promises to rectify
his misdeeds, though every day is a struggle.

Season 4:
Episode 18 - "Mirage"

Posing as a
waitress at a Vienna club, Sydney serves drinks to Kradic’s crew,
which includes an undercover Dixon. Syd reports to APO that she overheard Kradic tell Dixon that the Hydrosek will
arrive soon. Sloane realizes that Jack did not arrive that morning.

The lurker - call him Coke-Bottle Glasses - has followed Kradic from Amsterdam and begins planting
explosives in the club. Vaughn, observing by the bar, sees two suited men
carrying a briefcase containing the Hydrosek.

Coke-Bottle Glasses (CBG) puts a glass down on Sydney’s tray. Realizing that it’s a bomb,
she throws it to an empty corner, where it explodes. CBG detonates another bomb
and, as the crowd panics, he grabs the briefcase and heads toward the exit. Syd tackles CBG and they exchange blows as the Hydrosek case skids across the
floor. He escapes. Dixon shoots a thug about to kill Vaughn as he goes
after the briefcase. Kradic gets to the briefcase first and runs. 

Dixon and Vaughn follow Kradic into the
basement. Cornered, Kradic threatens to drop the Hydrosek in the filtration
grate of the city’s drinking water. Dixon pretends to lower his gun, then
shoots Kradic.

After learning of CBG’s failure to steal the Hydrosek, Sophia invites Nadia and
Weiss over for dinner. Upon their arrival, Sophia takes Nadia’s belongings -
which include a laptop - to a back room. CBG emerges from the shadows and hacks
into the laptop, gaining access to APO files.

At APO, Syd tells Vaughn that she
hasn’t seen her father in two days. They go to his apartment and find a
notebook with recent records of Jack’s vitals. Inside the bathroom, they find
containers of medication and blood-soaked bandages in the trash can.

Jack visits Dr. Liddell, who says that years ago during an experiment he
discovered that a lethal dose of an alkylating agent cured a few genetically
mutated rats –but 84 percent died. Despite Dr. Liddell’s warnings, Jack
acquires the lethal chemical.

Based on the meds she saw at Jack’s place, Syd asks Marshall to research cures for radiation
sickness. Marshall reveals that Jack got sick when he removed the fuel rods in
a radioactive lab in order to save Sydney. Marshall adds that there is no cure.

Sloane tells
the team that Jack needs help and Syd adds no area hospitals have any record of
his admittance. She says Jack’s mental capabilities might be impaired at the
moment and someone might be preying on him, promising a cure.

Jack returns to Liddell’s office. Meanwhile, the APO team locates Jack’s car in a seedy neighborhood.
Syd and Vaughn drive to the location and arrive at an abandoned building, where
they find Jack on a bed in the middle of a big empty room. He injects himself
and begins convulsing.

At the APO office, Vaughn explains to Sloane
that Jack thought he had a cure, and unfortunately, Jack’s condition is
irreversible after 72 hours. Vaughn also mentions that Jack has been suffering
from hallucinations and woke up briefly to look for a "Dr. Liddell."
Sloane tells the team that 25 years ago, Liddell developed a thesis on the
treatment of genetic mutations. He went to the Soviet Union in 1981 to spy for the US. When his cover was blown,
Jack’s extracted him and gave him a new identity. Only Jack knows where Liddell
is.

Jack wakes up and talks to Sydney, referring to her as
"Laura," Irina’s cover name. Sloane suggests using these
hallucinations to convince Jack that he’s living in ‘81 — specifically, the
day he extracted Liddell from7 Russia. He proposes recreating
Jack’s surroundings to guide his delusions and make him reveal where the actual
Liddell is located.

Looking like Irina, Sydney enters a room built to
resemble her old house. As the team observes, Jack responds to the scenario.
Vaughn calls, pretending to be Jack’s handler, and asks what arrangements he
needs to make for Liddell. Jack reveals where Liddell should go — in code.

Believing that Syd is his wife, Jack tells her that he needs to leave town and
help Liddell get a new identity in Finland. Jack continues on about his deep
regret of missing Sydney’s birthday and his lack of
involvement in her life. Syd listens, deeply touched.

Marshall asks Nadia why she requested that the Hydrosek
be moved. Realizing that someone has hacked into the system, Nadia and Weiss go
to the facility where the Hydrosek is stored and find that it’s been stolen.
CBG lies dead in front of the vault.

Syd finds Dr. Liddell in Helsinki. He accompanies her back to APO and sees Jack, who asks if he’s
cured yet. Liddell answers, "Not yet… but I’m going to make you better."

Season 4:
Episode 17 - "A Clean Conscience"

The APO team watches footage of an explosion
at the Indonesian embassy in Copenhagen that killed 15 people, the work of
terrorists headed by Milos Kradic. Sloane says that an agent named Thomas
Raimes is undercover within the organization. Although Raimes warned Langley of the attack, he failed to prevent
the blast or follow up with his handler. They speculate that Raimes might have
been caught or killed.

Sloane tasks Dixon and Vaughn with capturing Kradic. He asks Sydney and Jack to run operations,
though they have yet to find out Kradic’s motives.

Sophia, the headmistress who took care of Nadia in the orphanage, phones to say
she’s coming to L.A. When Syd and Nadia meet her at the airport,
she’s wheelchair-bound and covered with bruises.

Sophia tells Nadia that she was attacked in her home and doesn’t know why.
Sloane comforts her, clasping her hand. Later, he peels off a thin layer of
latex from his own hand and has Marshall check Sophia’s fingerprints.
Sophia gives Nadia a necklace reminding her of their past.

Jack receives treatment for his radiation poisoning. His doctor, Atticus
Liddell, warns him of side effects and advises him to make peace with Syd -
because the end may not be far off.

In Amsterdam, Dixon tells Vaughn that he’s previously worked with Raimes. They corner Raimes in a
club and ask why he didn’t stop the bombing. Raimes says that the 15 civilian
deaths were necessary in order to find out what Kradic wanted — Hydrosek, a
water-based weapon developed by Indonesia that could wipe out entire
eco-systems and kill half a million people.

Dixon and Vaughn inform APO that Kradic bombed the embassy as cover for the
intel theft. Since embassy protocol dictates that when a bomb goes off, all
confidential intelligence goes to offsite servers, the recent explosion triggered
these protocols. APO concludes that Kradic must’ve intercepted the outgoing
data, which includes the location of Hydrosek, and he is now forming a team to
steal it from Indonesians.

Raimes says their only option is to make Kradic lead them to the weapon. Dixon
agrees, and when Raimes says that Kradic is about to meet Halsey, a hacker he’s
hiring for the first time, Dixon suggests switching the hacker with an agent.
After they nab Halsey, Dixon approaches Kradic in the club and convinces him
that he’s the hacker.

Sloane
approaches Sophia and demands to know why she really came. He says that he
knows about the man she killed. Sophia says the man was a danger to the girls
in the orphanage. She also adds that she wanted to protect Nadia, so she
changed Nadia’s last name -and that her attackers in Lisbon were really after this
information. Sloane reveals that he knows who’s after her.

In the office, Jack tells Sydney that the embassy transmission Kradic
had intercepted came from a network tap that they can still access. When Syd
leaves the room to look for Marshall, Jack scratches and probes his palm and finds a
computer chip stored in an embedded capsule.

Jack sees Dr. Liddell who tells him that this device regulates his medication,
and that the procedure was explained to him. As Jack says he cannot recall
this, the doctor reminds him that memory loss is a side effect and admits that
Jack’s condition is progressing quicker than expected.

Syd reports that Marshall located Hydrosek in a manufacturing
plant in Peru. Unfortunately, Kradic beat them to
it. They decide that the best course of action is to keep Dixon in play.

Dixon tells Raimes that the embassy deaths
were unacceptable. When Raimes says that they were collateral damage and that Dixon has gotten soft, Dixon explains that his wife was
accidentally killed during a mission.

As Kradic, his team, Raimes and Dixon approach a plane, one of Kradic’s
men intercepts a communication from a lurker with Coke-bottle glasses,
regarding Dixon’s
embedded status. Knowing now that one of them is an agent, he orders his men to
kill them both.

Raimes punches a thug, grabs a gun and shoots the others as he’s wounded. Dixon, still keeping his cover, pretends
to turn against Raimes - who is sacrificing himself for the mission to
continue. Knowing that Vaughn is on standby to save Raimes, Dixon shoots Raimes and boards the
plane with Kradic.

Jack takes Sydney in a room with Sloane and Nadia, and the men tell their
daughters about info they’ve gathered about Elena Derevko. Elena disappeared 30
years ago, Sloane says, and she has been surveilling them for a decade. In
fact, she might be responsible for the attack on Sophia. Her motives and
location are unknown but they’re doing everything they can to find out.

Unbeknownst to Nadia, the necklace she’s wearing - the gift from Sophia –
transmits this conversation to … Sophia. She contacts Coke-bottle glasses and
tells him that she’ll contact him once she has Kradic’s final destination. He
responds by saying, "I won’t let you down, Elena."

Season 4:
Episode 16 - "Another Mr. Sloane"

In Krakow, Poland, men posing as airport guards abduct Professor
Sinclair, a nuclear physicist. She wakes up bound in a dark room and is greeted
by Arvin Sloane. Actually, it’s not Sloane but an impersonator. 

Sydney and Vaughn meet with Jack. They tell him about the elaborate conspiracy
behind Vaughn’s search for his father. Syd adds that she also believes that
Sloane was behind the recent attempt on her life. When Syd suggests they notify
the agency, Jack says he will handle it.

Jack corners Sloane, who calmly denies his involvement and points out his lack
of motive. They conclude that someone is setting Sloane up.

The Sloane impersonator (Sloane 2) shows a Rambaldi manuscript to Sinclair,
saying that he needs her expertise. Sinclair says that she needs a transformer
coil for this experiment to work and Sloane 2 tells her that she needs to find
another way. He has his man Carter torture her.

In the APO office, Jack tells Syd and Vaughn
that Sloane is not behind these conspiracies. They then use a handcuffed
Roberts to confirm that APO’s Sloane is not the man who hired him. Sloane orders the
team to find the phony and they persuade Roberts to meet with Carter about the
transformer coil.

With the APO team undercover, Roberts walks in a hotel lobby carrying the transformer coil
in a secure case. Vaughn tells Roberts that when Carter comes, they’ll move in
and make the arrest. A man approaches Roberts, saying he’s there to make the
swap - but the exchange should take place in the penthouse. Though concerned
that it wasn’t Carter, Roberts complies.

As Roberts
rides a glass elevator up to the penthouse, Syd sees Sloane 2 on his way down
in another elevator. She reports it to Sloane, who predicts that Sloane 2 will cut
the cable. As soon as he says this, Roberts’ elevator crashes to the ground.
Carter retrieves the coil, which he hands to Sloane 2.

At the APO office, Sloane suggests excusing himself from this mission since it
concerns his past obsession, Syd urges him to stay so they can anticipate
Sloane 2’s next move.

After leafing through a Rambaldi manuscript under close surveillance, Sloane
tells the team that Sloane 2 is constructing an energy source that requires the
transformer coil. To do it, a nuclear physicist specializing in quantum
electrodynamics is needed, and Jack adds that Dr. Sinclair, who fits the bill,
disappeared last week. Sloane further states that the experiment needs Zanthium
242 to be successful. He calls a Sicilian contact who trades illicit chemicals
and confirms that an "Arvin Sloane" ordered a large amount of
Zanthium, to be shipped the next morning. Sloane travels to Sicily to intercept
the shipment and find out where it’s headed.

Disguised as delivery agents, Sloane and the team arrive at Sloane 2’s facility
in Chile. The team splits up with Sydney and Sloane going to the lab; while
Vaughn, Weiss and Nadia attempt to rescue Sinclair.

Sloane helps Sydney break into the lab, where they recognize the Rambaldi
energy source, a rotating red ball hovering over magnets. Just then, Vaughn
radios to say that Sloane 2 and his henchmen escaped with Sinclair and are
heading her way.

Sydney battles the thugs as Sinclair hides and Sloane 2 escapes. Carter arrives
at the lab and mistakes the real Sloane for his employer. Sloane shoots him in
the kneecap and demands to know what’s going on. Carter babbles about
immortality, to which Sloane replies that Rambaldi’s secrets would never be
revealed to such a fool. Sloane beats him silly.

Nadia arrives at the lab, sees the Rambaldi experiment before her. She also
sees the darker side of Sloane - enraged and blood-spattered. He turns to Nadia
and says quietly, "It’s all over now."
