TEXT: (Sydney hears banging around in the vents. Thinking it's one of Cole's goons, she braces herself... until she sees Jack.) SYDNEY: Dad! What are you doing here? JACK: Just stay there. SYDNEY: No, Dad, don't! JACK: Hold your fire! I'm coming through! I'm coming out! (Jack gets out. Sydney hears him getting punched.) (In SD-6's main part, the goons hold their guns on the agents. Dixon looks over at Marshall, who has blood running down the side of his head.) DIXON: You okay? MARSHALL: Except for my head injury, yeah. (Cole and two goons bring Jack in, his hands behind his back.) COLE: Mr. Cool Customer here was caught crawling around the vents. Sit his butt down. (They put Jack in a chair next to Dixon. Cole talks to FGOON.) COLE: So, how long is it going to take to open the vault? FGOON: The sooner I get started, the sooner I'll know. (They kiss.) COLE: I need, like, awesome good news, baby. FGOON: I know. COLE: Endo, Chen, I'll be in the conversation room. (Jack looks up to the vents, knowing Sydney's somewhere up there.) (In their control room, Sydney comes out of the vents and sees a note left by Jack on top of the monitor.) JACK: (voice over) Follow this map to the three locations where the C-4 explosives are set. You must deactivate all three C-4 packages before the vault door opens. Good luck. (She takes the map and a flashlight and starts.) (FGOON runs in to the vault and sets up her laptop. She starts working on opening it.) (Dixon and Jack whisper to each other.) DIXON: I think I can get to the PDA and e-mail Langley. JACK: You know that's not an option. DIXON: Look, I understand the need for plausible deniability here. JACK: The C.I
