TEXT: (Open to Irina's cell. She's sitting on the floor. A fly is on the glass. She watches as it takes off and flies around the room. Still sitting, she calmly catches it in her hand. Fade out to the surveillance monitor of her cell upstairs at the ops center. Sydney stands near the monitor.) SYDNEY: (voice over) When I found out my mother faked her death twenty years ago, after mourning her for most of my life, she was still alive. I tried to imagine what it would feel like to stand in a room with both of my parens again. (Jack walks in the ops center across the room. Sydney smiles at him.) SYDNEY: (voice over) It seemed impossible. (Jack nods once.) SYDNEY: (voice over) That two people with so much... deceit between them could ever find a way to breathe the same air. (Cut to Sydney, Will and Francie's house. Sydney and Will are sitting across from each other on the sofa. Continuing the conversation from the voice over.) SYDNEY: And all of a sudden there we were. Just the three of us... walking down a dirt road in the middle of Kashmir. When we were out there, working as a team, it was comforting. (Flashback to "Passage, Part 1" when the three Bristows are standing side-by-side, shooting the PRF rebels with rifles.) SYDNEY: (voice over) We were ambushed and we fought back. (Back to the sofa.) SYDNEY: And we survived. WILL: Yeah, my parents and I sort of went through the same thing. (Sydney looks at him. He gives her a look. They both start laughing and Sydney hits him with a pillow.) SYDNEY: Thanks. Thanks a lot. Oh! (She grabs her bookbag and takes out a book from inside. Wedged in the middle is a business envelope. She gives it to Will.) SYDNEY: Vaughn told me Devlin approved you to do research if you pass
