And there's more. Countdown goes from three to two. Cut to Jack and Vlatczko. JACK: I know about Nightingale. JACK: Shutting down security. JACK: Then you'll need two people to retrieve the coil: One to ensure the reactor stays in standby mode while the other enters the test chamber to grab the coil. JACK: You have to discuss this with Vaughn first; I respect that. Make it count. Nightingale. SLOANE: And you believe her? SYDNEY (fetching his keys from the bedside table): We could bring it to APO...They might be able to help us track...
Cut to Vaughn, putting his jacket on and straightening the collar. SYDNEY: About Nightingale? SYDNEY: Vlatczko is running it out of an abandoned nuclear reactor in Siberia. She answers. Sherwood Library, UCLA Campus. Sloane, Jack, Marshall, Vaughn, and Sydney are present. Sydney looks for Vaughn's jacket. Sydney's in the room with the reactor. The unconscious man is shot in the neck with a drug and the man dressed in a lab coat like a coctor motions for the two men to leave the room. VAUGHN: Is there another way to shut down the core!? VAUGHN: Marshall, what happened? VAUGHN: Sydney! Vaughn assaulted Sydney and stole the coil? Vaughn's father...
SYDNEY (puts down her glass): It's complicated, actually.
