(He looks amazed when he sees his daughter assemble the puzzle alone)
SYDNEY: What? (Irina stretches for the Sphere without listening at Sydney who urges her to crawl back). (Leaving Sark behind, Sloane descends to Rambaldi's burial chamber. (Sloane opens the box which contains the sphere of life) Should I tell her we have a deal? (Vaughn appears and sees Dixon) Uncle Dixon! (We have a view of Sloane who rises with his mortal wounds healed). And this must be...
SYDNEY: Jack. As they try to regain their breath, they roll on their back and watch the sky. DIXON: (To Peyton) Who's in Hong Kong? Flash-back: Sydney is at the bottom of the crack and starts to dream. Flashback: Sydney is 6 years old and arrives in a room where his father speaks with an officer. He places the Sphere atop Rambaldi's tomb between the two signs "<" and ">". He plans to profit off the reconstruction. He tumbles into the red liquid on the tomb, dead. House of Vaughn and Sydney. I learned, at a very young age, the only currency worth anything in this world is power
SYDNEY: And the Horizon gives you that? I never wanted this life for you, you know. I never wanted you to bear this kind of responsibility, but you...you were a very...difficult little girl...You were far too driven, far too strong to let someone like me stop you from becoming who you are. IRINA: Washington and London. In a hotel room. In the cave, Sloane is buried in the rubble. In the chamber. In the chamber. Irina falls through to her death. Isabelle, dad and I are going for a walk. It's just it's not every day one gets to be a part of global genocide. JACK: Credit Dauphine? JACK: He's not interested in the devastation. JACK: I must contact Sydney. JACK: Sydney! JACK: Vaughn, How is she? Jack knows now that Sloane can't die, but as he wants to be sure that Sloane never makes it out of the cave, he triggers the explosives. Marshall managed to access the launch protocol, but he can't shut them down. Meanwhile, Isabelle finds the Project Christmas building blocks and effortlessly connects them. NADIA: Well...as you've said, you have all the time in the world. Nadia's ghost appears. Of course, if we don't find Sloane, that may not be very long from now...
MONGOLIA: Sark and Sloane enter inside the cave. Outside, Vaughn, Syd and Jack infiltrate the camp above Rambaldi's tomb. RACHEL: Marshall and I are gonna hack into the N.R.O., see if we can use their optical satellites to locate the missiles. SARK: Initiate the countdown. SLOANE: (holds Sydney at gunpoint) Hand me the sphere, Sydney. SLOANE: I want to be airborne as soon as they find something. SLOANE: Were you able to make contact with our friend in Hong Kong? SYDNEY: (to Dixon, Vaughn and Jack) She has no idea where those missiles are. SYDNEY: Then you'll have to go through me first. SYDNEY: What is the point? Sark enters a control room. She plays with an odd set of blocks which are from Project Christmas. She reluctantly leaves her father. She's in Hong Kong, preparing to strike as we speak. Sloane and Sark go out of their car and follow the man. Sloane had to call in a partner. Sloane is in Mongolia. Sloane moves first, shooting Jack. Sloane takes them to a storage facility where Sark and Peyton discover two trucks with nuclear missiles. Someone uploaded it from Hong Kong. Syd drops the sphere to go over to Jack while. Syd shoots Sloane. Syd sneaks into the underground chamber. Sydney and Irina fight a ferocious battle. Sydney arrives inside the room and holds Sloane at gunpoint. Sydney looks back to see that Sark has just arrived, holding Vaughn and Jack at hostage. The next step is for me alone. There's no one in this world that can do the things that you can do. They go inside a cave which has the mark of Rambaldi on the top. This job requires sacrifice, and you need to know that you are able to live with that. Using phone records and satellite telemetry, someone locates Peyton. VAUGHN: He also said that he'd wipe out everyone at A.P.O. VAUGHN: He traded her the missiles. VAUGHN: Sloane has a partner. Vaughn and Dixon stop her when she is about to take a lift. Vaughn and Sydney lift Jack outside who's badly wounded. View of Marshall hacking the Russian bank network. We have to stop her. What she does know: Sloane is planning to target two cities with high civilian concentrations. Which means that he controls their assets? With this...And I'll never have to give it up. You have to go to Hong Kong. You're the one that let him go. You're the only one who can get to Irina in time. You've...caused my daughter so much pain.

Summary: Vaughn finds an unconscious Sydney and administers CPR. In a flashback, Sydney recalls the time when Jack told her that her mother had died, asking her to be strong. Sydney wakes up. Peyton tells Sloane that she was able to make contact with their ally in Hong Kong, and that they have a deal as she reveals the Horizon. Sark asks if they want to go through with this global genocide. Sloane confirms as they look on nuclear missiles. In the safety of a hotel in Siena, Sydney flashes back to her childhood when she assembled building blocks, not realizing that this was part of Project Christmas - meant to test people's aptitude for being operatives. Later Sydney reads a report of two stolen missiles and assumes Sloane's involvement. Sydney concludes that if Sloane had killed all Prophet Five members, he must have all their assets, and would have bought these missiles from someone. Marshall then hacks into the Russian bank network and looks into the phone records. Via satellite, they are able to locate Peyton. Vaughn, Dixon and Sydney interrogate Peyton, and she tells them that she does not know where the missiles are stored now but she knows that Sloane is targeting two cities with high civilian concentrations. Jack remarks that Sloane is not interested in devastation -he wants to profit from the reconstruction. Sydney discovers that Sloane is in Mongolia. As Sydney prepares to fly to Mongolia, Rachel reports that she and Marshall are trying to hack into optical satellites to locate the missiles. They realize that Sloane has hacked into the network with information uploaded from a contact in Hong Kong. Peyton reveals the contact under interrogation by Dixon. Sloane and Sark go inside the cave in Mongolia. Later, Sloane says that the next step is for him alone to do. Sloane journeys down to a chamber that turns out to be Rambaldi's burial place. He places the Horizon on top of Rambaldi's tomb. A red sphere (similar to but probably not like those generated by a Mueller device) appears and a red fluid drains from that sphere into the Horizon. Vaughn, Sydney and Jack infiltrate the camp set up outside of Rambaldi's tomb. Sydney sneaks into the underground chamber and holds Sloane at gunpoint. Meanwhile, Vaughn and Jack are surrounded by Sark and his men. Sydney is about to destroy the Horizon when Sark arrives holding Vaughn and Jack hostage. Holding Sydney at gunpoint, Sloane urges her to give the artifact back. He then shoots Jack. Sydney drops the Horizon and rushes to her father as Vaughn fights with his captors. Sydney shoots Sloane several times and Sloane falls into a pool of the red liquid. He dies and Sark picks up the Horizon. Sydney flashes back to a memory of telling her father she'd started working for Credit Dauphine and Jack telling her to quit immediately. Sydney and Vaughn carry a severely wounded Jack out of the chamber where they attempt to perform first aid. Vaughn says Sloane is dead and that Sark must be taking the Horizon to their contact in Hong Kong--Irina Derevko. Jack urges them to go to Hong Kong. When Sydney wants to stay, Jack says that she is the only one who can stop her mother. He adds that he never wanted this life for Sydney, but Sydney is far too driven and strong to let anyone stop her. Sydney tells her father that she loves him and leaves reluctantly. In Hong Kong, Sark delivers the Horizon to Irina and reports that the missiles are ready. Irina tells him to target London and Washington D.C. Sark goes to a control room and initiates the countdown. Sydney arrives and confronts Irina, who tells her that power is the only currency and that through Rambaldi, they can live forever. Sydney and Irina fight furiously, while Vaughn breaks into the control room and shoots Sark. With Marshall's help, the launch is aborted. Meanwhile, in Mongolia, Sloane's bullet wounds heal and he is restored to life. As he sees Nadia's ghost, he starts to walk out of the chamber when a wounded Jack stops him. Sloane says he can heal Jack; Jack refuses, saying Sloane has caused Sydney so much pain he won't let him do it again. Sloane tells Jack that he is now immortal, but Jack points out that he can keep him in that cave with him. Jack sets off explosives, causing a cave in. Sydney and Irina continue their struggle on a roof deck, where Irina falls to her death as she tries to grab the Horizon. Irina about to grasp the Horizon. In Mongolia, Sloane is half-buried alive, with no one to hear his calls for help. Nadia's ghost appears to tell him that she can do nothing for him and that as he had said, he has all the time in the world. "At least I'll have you to keep me company," he remarks. She says no as she turns her back to her father and disappears. Flash forward to a scene of 7-yr old Isabelle playing by the ocean. Dixon arrives, and Vaughn and Sydney greet him, with Sydney carrying a toddler son named Jack. Dixon asks Sydney for some help in an assignment, but Vaughn suggests discussing this after dinner. Meanwhile, Isabelle finds wooden building blocks -- the same ones that were used in the Project Christmas tests. Isabelle assembles the blocks effortlessly and successfully, but then knocks them down nonchalantly and runs out with Sydney, Vaughn and Dixon for a walk by the beach.
