TEXT: The episode starts where we left off last episode. Sydney steps onto the upper deck just as a helicopter is taking off. Peyton and her goons are not too far behind. PEYTON: (spotting Syd) There! Sydney ducks back inside, trying each of the doors but most of them are locked. She finds an unlocked room and goes inside, knocking unconscious a man who is working on a laptop. Seeing that the room has computer and radio equipment, she locks the door behind her. She tunes one of the radios and speaks into its mic: SYDNEY: This is field agent ID Black-seven-niner-three-c-r (?) confirmation foxtrot... Sydney pauses to wince at a pain in her stomach. She gathers herself with determination: SYDNEY: Repeat. Confirmation foxtrot-one. Status: MIA. I'm being held upon a cargo freighter. Registry: unknown. The door rattles as Peyton tries to open the door. Sydney looks up, alarmed. Cut to outside the room where Peyton is rattling the locked door. She turns to her lackey: PEYTON: Do it. Lackey steps up and shoots at the lock. They enter the room to find it empty - Sydney has escaped using the other door. PEYTON: Organize a deck-by-deck search and find her. Lackey runs off to search for Sydney. Peyton looks around for clues - she finds the radio's mic hanging down and the radio tuned to '447550.000' PEYTON: Damn it. Cut to LA. Sloane walks up to Jack entering APO. They both look troubled. SLOANE: What did you find out? JACK: I've confirmation Prophet-5 is holding Sydney. I believe they've had designs on her from the beginning. They knew precisely when and where she'd be most vulnerable. They must've been tracking her movements. SLOANE: Have they made any demands? JACK: None. [inaudible]...their intentions. Right now, I have reason to believe they need her alive. SLOANE: Listen, Jack, we've seen Sydney come
SUMMARY:
After fleeing from interrogation and learning she was on a freighter at sea, Sydney goes to the communications room and sends a message to APO routed through the CIA to her whereabouts. Unbeknownst to her at the time, the message was intercepted by a mole at the CIA working for Prophet Five, although APO was able to obtain a piece of the transmission. Wanting to retrieve Sydney, APO attempts to break into a secured server room located at Langley with the goal of obtaining the remaining part of the transmission. Problems arise, however, when APO is forced to take the hard drive, which triggers an alarm. They manage to escape the situation thanks to Weiss who aids them in sneaking past the guards. Although the transmission on the hard drive is corrupted, APO is able to learn who corrupted it. Jack sets a meeting up with the division heads of the CIA and is quickly able to identify that the mole was Davenport, who confesses to Jack Sydney's whereabouts. APO then mounts a rescue to retrieve Sydney from the freighter; however, while they are in transit, Sydney is forced to go into surgery. When APO arrives, Sydney is alone on the freighter. After analyzing Sydney, doctors conclude that Prophet Five was not trying to hurt the baby, but actually save it.
