3x19 Hourglass
Original Air Date: 4.18.04
Jack and Irina are having a bit of a catch up online, but the conversation comes to a halt when Jack asks Irina about The Passenger. Irina terminates her account to avoid answering the question.
Vaughn, after realizing in the last episode that Lauren is the mole, lets Jack and Sydney know. Jack tells him that he has to pretend that nothing has happened so they can use Lauren to their advantage.
The CIA learns that The Covenant have kidnapped Conrad, the monk from Nepal who is an expert on Rambaldi. Syd and Vaughn go to rescue him in the desert but Sark shoots him just as they are escaping on their horses. Using his last breath Conrad tells Sydney that The Passenger is her sister.
Jack tells Sydney about Irina's affair with Sloane. Syd goes to see Sloane in his cell where he tries to convince her to get Jack to come forward with the proof he is innocent. If not for him, for her sister.
The CIA sets a trap for Lauren by tricking her into copying a fake code key needed to read the Rambaldi document the covenant acquired. After this Syd and Vaughn watch Lauren and are surprised when she takes the key to her mother. While listening to Lauren and Mrs Reed's conversation, Syd and Vaughn learn that the Rambaldi document is in their house in Richmond.
The CIA uses their shrink to encourage Vaughn and Lauren to take a trip to Richmond as part of their 'reconciliation'. While there Vaughn manages to copy the Rambaldi document. Lauren nearly catches him out but he pretends to be looking at their wedding pictures. This prompts a bit of reconciling sex on the desk which forces Marshall and Syd to turn of their comms out of awkwardness.
The document says that something called The Hourglass will reveal the location of The Passenger, but only to her father. Sydney goes to Jack and tricks him into admitting that he has proof that will proove Sloane's innocence. He reluctantly agrees to provide it to authorities. Syd leaves on a mission to Little Tokyo to retrieve The Hourglass.
Instead of coming forward with information, Jack goes to visit Sloane in his cell with some champagne to celebrate the discovery of his daughter. Sloane is shocked when he realizes Jack is not going to help him.
Sloane's death sentence is carried out. His last words are of his daughter. For you who pay witness, I can only believe there is a common thought amongst you all: "This is as it should be." I do not disagree. My only request: that if my daughter is in fact found alive, that she understand my actions, she understand that this day's events are the net result of her father's passion to find her, to know her, to love her.
In between Sloane's death we are shown awesome slow motion shots of Sydney shooting guards as she escapes with the Hourglass. This sequence, alternating between these two totally different events should definitely be in the top 50 best moment of Alias.
When Sydney returns from Little Tokyo she gets mad at Jack and walks away when he tries to explain to her why he did not save Sloane.
Later, a black-clad figure unzips Sloane's body bag. It's Jack, and he revives Sloane, revealing that the antidote to the chemicals used to put him to sleep was in the champagne. Jack tells Sloane that he only saved him because he needs him.
During the end of this episode we also see Lauren contact her mother to tell her that Sloane is dead. This means they can locate the Passenger without interference. Lauren;s mother disagrees. She tells Lauren that the code key she retrieved was unusable, the CIA played her (SNAP!) Vaughn player her, and is likely to try again. But that will be his last mistake.
