Original Air Date: 4.25.04
Jack explains to Sydney that the reason he saved Sloane secretly was that he discovered the members of The Trust wanted him dead. Sloane tells them that he found a Rambaldi text that contained a formula for an elixir that would allow The Passenger to channel a message from Rambaldi. Sloane wants to protect his child because he knows that if the Covenant finds his daughter first they will expose her to great amounts of the elixir which will kill her.
How to find The Passenger? Smash the Hourglass on th ground.
Vaughn is contacted by Thomas Brill, a former agent. He tells Vaughn that his father was a follower of Rambaldi and died because he was protecting The Passenger.
When Vaughn is leaving Brill he is captured by the Covenant who want to know the location of The Passenger. Sark tortures him to attempt to get the answer out of him.
Sark: I'll ask you again: where is the Passenger?
Vaughn: Holding that thing . . . you almost look like you've reached puberty.
Sloane, Jack and Syd need to infiltrate the Smithsonian where a Rambaldi artifact is being kept that uses the hourglass goo as a battery. To get in they need to have the retinal scans of all five members of the trust. Sloane goes after them, shocking them by being alive after execution. He blackmails them all so they don't hurt him but he has time to get their retinal scans.
While Sloane is doing this Jack and Syd have a quick D&M. Jack lets her know that even when there was a small doubt that she was his daughter, his feelings for her never changed.
JACK: Sydney, there's something you should know. When I first learned of Sloane's affair with your mother, I was forced to consider the possibility that I wasn't in fact your biological father.
It's not the case. I had our medical files examined. Our relationship is clear. But I wanted you to know, during that brief time before I was reassured my feelings for you never changed.
Syd is undercover as a nerdy dinosaur obsessed girl so that she can access a vault inside the Smithsonian.
PHILLIP: So you said you're writing a research paper on theropod dinosaurs?
SYDNEY: Specifically, theropods and archaeopteryx and their similarities.
PHILLIP: Oh, so you think birds are descended from dinosaurs?
SYDNEY: Not that there's conclusive proof...
Softly, as if in confidence...
SYDNEY: ...but it drives me crazy when those orthodox types refuse to even examine the evidence.
Sydney goes to the vault and gets the artefact, unfortunately having to knock out the nice museum guy, Phillip.
They put the green goo on the artefact and it shows what looks like brain waves. They can locate her.
Lauren arrives to where vaighn is being tortured so she can help him escape. No everything was a lie, apparently. But while Vaughn is in a truck with a shifty eyed driver he realizes it was a trick and Sark and Lauren recapture him.
The Passenger is in a prison in Chechnya. Sydney sneaks in, under the guise of being a prisoner herself. She finds her sister, Nadia (but called Talia Kozlov - #07 in the prison), who seems to be catatonic. Until she needs to fight for her life of course. She helps Syd fight the guards and she escapes with her, Jack and Sloane to a safe house.
Nadia recognizes Sloane. He tells her that he changed for her, because he didn't want to meet her and have her hate him.
Sark receives a phone call telling him where to find The Passenger, so he and Lauren leave Vaughn to die. They lead an attack on the safe house, but their targets escape. Jack and Sydney realize that Sloane gave Sark their location so that he could escape with Nadia. Marshall is able to locate Vaughn, and Weiss and a team go and save him.
Sydney visits Vaughn in the hospital. He tells her that he learned the prophecies tell of a battle between the Chosen One and The Passenger in which neither survives. He tells her to let her sister go and not to see her again.
Elsewhere, Nadia wakes, strapped to a table; She begs Sloane not to be he only apologizes, then injects her with the Rambaldi elixir. She convulses. Sloane says he's sorry over and over. But I mean really, how sorry is he?
Maybe we could start a bit of a discussion on that. What are your thoughts on his treatment of Nadia? Even though she is his daughter and she begged him not to because it puts her in pain was he right to still inject her to find out a message from someone who shapes most of the lives of the people on the show?
