TEXT: (Open to Mt. Sebacio in Italy. Sydney rock climbs her way up the side of the mountain. She moves up, and stumbles a bit, but makes her way to the top of the mountain just as the sun is setting. She sits down, panting, to see the sun disappear behind a mountain. She takes off her sunglasses and wipes the sweat from her face. Looks around. Yanks out a sat comm phone and dials.) VOICE: Agent King. SYDNEY: Agent Utley, please. VOICE: Who's speaking? SYDNEY: Tell him it's about a fugitive the FBI has been looking for. The fugitive is me. (She looks out at the sunset.) (Los Angeles. Thunder rumbles. Inside a parked car in the middle of a rainstorm, Sydney and Jack sit.) SYDNEY: I don't know how to thank you for helping me. JACK: Don't thank me. Devlin said the FBI's focusing their investigation where it should have been all along. Instead of persecuting you, they should have been searching for your mother. SYDNEY: But they were convinced she was dead. JACK: No. While you were in Italy, I did something I've never done before. (Cut to a room with aisles and aisles of filing cabinets. Jack frantically looks through one of them.) JACK: (voice over) I violated the CIA's trust. I broke into Langley's classified archives. (Back in the car.) JACK: I pulled the operational file on your mother to see if I could find anything that might prove your intuition correct. Apparently, after the accident, an internal commission was formed to assess the damage she'd done to United States intelligence. (In the room, Jack flips through the report and looks up, astonished.) JACK: (voice over) The commission was comprised of people I'd worked with since I'd joined the Agency, but one name stood out in particular. (Sloane's office. Jack stands before Sloane.) JACK
