(hands him a picture of Ryan)
LEONID: Daniel Ryan was critical to the IRA when they were in the bombing business. Both bombs. But the bomb's been activated. DIXON: His name is Daniel Ryan. Full-on genius. He had no identity... until now. He's worked with the Covenant in the past and wants to sell them his latest product. If the plane keeps descending it'll detonate. JACK: If we can convince Ryan that Sark is in custody and will be prosecuted, maybe he will deactivate the bomb. JACK: If what Ryan said is true, that Sark has been promoted to the leadership of the North American cell, killing him on a commercial plane carrying 200 innocent people would be a very public act of revenge. RYAN: And you? RYAN: Ivana Pannich, my former handler, confessed to me on the day before I was killed that my brother had been murdered by the Covenant, and that it was a test of loyalty for a woman named Julia Thorne. RYAN: The bomb, specifically a pager. SLOANE: His brother, Christopher Ryan, he's the political one. SYDNEY: According to Lysenker, Ryan always does business with the Covenant at the Commodore Hotel in Moscow, room 305. SYDNEY: The Covenant killed his brother and he still wants to work with them? SYDNEY: Then to get Sark on the plane, all we have to do is put out a communique from Ryan to the Covenant which details the terms he just laid out. The bomb in my office has been activated. They embrace. Try that. Two bomb technicians are trying to disarm it. VAUGHN: Only ten seconds left. VAUGHN: We're agreed, then? We now know the bomb on Nuage Air 212 is rigged to an altimeter and will detonate if the pilot attempts to land. [not sure about this line]

Summary: Sydney and Vaughn must convince bomb maker Daniel Ryan that they are part of The Covenant in order to find out where he has hidden one of his devices. But Sydney discovers that her ties to the bomber could lead him on a suicide mission. Daniel Ryan, former bomb disposal expert, has created a bomb and detonates it in public to advertise his skills and prove that the bomb cannot be disarmed. He is willing to sell the bomb to The Covenant. Based on information from Lysanker, the CIA captures Ryan, under the guise of representing The Covenant. They reproduce a Moscow hotel in order to convince Ryan that he is dealing with The Covenant. Ryan agrees to the deal, but demands that the information be provided only to Sark on a scheduled airline flight. When the contact does not eventuate, the CIA investigates Ryan and discovers that The Covenant had killed his brother. It was Sydney who had performed the murder, during a test of loyalty (explained in Full Disclosure, episode 11). A bomb is then discovered on board the plane carrying Vaughn and Sark which will activate if the plane descends to land. The CIA reveal their identity to Ryan but he refuses to help. Sydney sympathizes with Ryan, explaining that The Covenant also stole a part of her life when turning her into Julia Thorne. Ryan then agrees to disarm the bomb, supplying a pager code. However, this actually activates the timer of the bomb on board the plane, together with one held in the CIA office, with only 5 minutes until detonation. Ryan explains that he knows it was Julia Thorne who killed his brother. Jack manages to coerce Ryan into providing a deactivation code and both bombs are stopped with one second remaining.
