Setting: Vaughn's office
Weiss: Are you ready for this? Langley's general P.O.P. server just received an incoming email from SD-6.
Vaughn: From who? Jack?
Weiss: No, not Jack. Dixon.
Vaughn: Why is Dixon sending them an email? He doesn't know them.
Weiss: He's calling the CIA for help. They forwarded this message to you.
Vaughn (reading message): I am Marcus Dixon, agent of SD-6. We are … we are under attack, help us!?
Weiss: What do you think's going on down there?

Setting: CIA - Hallway & Devlin's office
Haladki: Vaughn!
Vaughn: Not now! (to Devlin): Sir, we have a situation…
Devlin: Vaughn…
Vaughn: I really think you should look at this.
Devlin: You've had a bad day. Better hope this doesn't make it worse.
Vaughn: Look, I know I've been suspended as Sydney Bristow's handler, but this message was routed to me.
Haladki: Sir, if you don't mind, may I see the communication please? It is my providence since Vaughn's off the Bristow case.
(Devlin hands communication to Haldacki)
Haladki: Do we any independent confirmation?
Vaughn: What? Like a dead body? No.
Devin: It's a fair question.
Vaughn: No sir.
Haladki: Any local authorities reporting? Fire. Police.
Vaughn: No.
Haladki: Any irregularities at all?
Vaughn: What do you mean … other than a desperate message from an agent begging for our help?
Haladki: Let me guess. You want to send in an extraction team?
Vaughn: Well, we have to do something.
Haladki: Yeah, like we had to do something at Donneti Park?
Haladki (to Devlin): I think this is Sloane.
Vaughn: What?
Haladki: I think he's bluffing again. He's trying to compromise our operation.
Vaughn: By what, sending CIA into the SD-6 office? What? Are you nuts?
Haladki: Sloane is bold like that. And you'll react to this.
Vaughn (to Devlin): Why is he even in here?
Devlin: We wait for now.
Vaughn: But sir …
Devlin: We wait. Is that understood?

Setting: CIA hallway/locker area
Weiss: Go back to Devlin's office without Haldacki and convince him on your own.
Vaughn: There's no convincing Devlin.
Weiss: You can't go down there by yourself.
Vaughn: Look, I have a friend who's a cop. He went to the lobby. The guard told him the bank closed early.
Weiss: And maybe it did.
Vaughn: I would have known about it.
Weiss: And what if there has been a takeover?
Vaughn (takes gun out of locker): If I'm not back in a couple of hours, I'm probably dead.
Weiss: Good to know.

Setting: SD-6 Parking Garage
Vaughn: I'm a federal officer. Step out of the car please. I'd like to ask you a few questions.
Man in Van: No problem.
They struggle/fight. Vaughn shoots and kills bad guy. He enters the building.

Setting: CIA - Haldacki's office
Receptionist: Have you seen Mr. Weiss? I have Mr. Vaughn calling for him.
Haladki: I'll take the call. (into phone): Extraction Teams are us.
Vaughn: Haldacki. Where's Weiss?
Haladki: Probably out getting another pizza.
Vaughn: Confirmation you wanted. I got it. I'm at SD-6 right now.
Haladki: You're at SD-6?
Vaughn: Did you hear what I said?
Haladki: That's a massive breach of protocol.
Vaughn: Screw protocol.
Haladki: Devlin specifically told you to wait.
Vaughn: The break-in is confirmed. Check with the on duty officer. It's probably Benton. Tell them tosend in a team. They can get into the garage using a standard card splice.
Haladki: You're finished. You know that?
Vaughn: Just do it!

Setting: SD-6 building
Sydney: What the hell are you doing here?
Vaughn: Dixon contacted us. What the hell's going on?
Sydney: Dixon contacted you?
Vaughn: Not directly. Through Langley. Said SD-6 was under attack. Are you okay?
Sydney: It's true. They have six, maybe seven. They've got the latest military specs. They're after something in the vault.
Vaughn: I know. I took out one in the garage.
Sydney: Russian accent?
Vaughn: Yeah. I'm thinking K-Directorat.
Sydney: I don't think so. I don't think they'd try something as wild as this.
Vaughn: Then who?
Sydney: I don't know. But right now, what do you know about deactivating C-4?
Vaughn: There's gotta be 200 pounds here. Damn. It's enough to level the building.
Sydney: It's a failsafe. Sloane has three of these rigged to the vault.
Vaughn: Three?
Sydney: Door opens and they all blow.
Vaughn: Maybe they shouldn't open that vault.
Sydney: They, being the six men with machine guns.
Vaughn: How long before they hack the code?
Sydney: Soon. Did you study bomb defusion at Langley?
Vaughn: Just seminar style. Nothing field specific.
Sydney: Does anyone learn anything in seminars?
Vaughn: Okay. Let's just take this one step at a time. This is a charge of C-4. I can tell because it says C-4 everywhere.
Sydney: There are eight black and yellow wires and six red, gold and black ones. Which of these fourteen wires do we cut?
Vaughn: No. Maybe none. What are those prisms?
Sydney: I don't know. But there might be more than one lead splice to the firing mechanism.
Vaughn: That pin.
Sydney: Where?
Vaughn: There. In the back.
Sydney: What is that?
Vaughn: It's a crystal. That thing's a radio receiver. That's probably helping the C-4.
Sydney: So all we have to do is pull out the crystal?
Sydney: Wait, no, it can't be this easy.
Vaughn: Wha … you think there's a ...?
Sydney: Or a secondary trigger.
Vaughn sprays
Sydney: Now we know what the prisms are for. Spray it again.
Vaughn: You know, I think, I can pull out the crystal without touching the lasers.
Sydney: You want me to do it? My hands are pretty steady.
Vaughn: Well so are mine.
Sydney: One more spray on three.
Vaughn: One
Sydney: Two
Vaughn: Three
Vaughn: One down.
Toni, McKenas Cole's girlfriend enters with a gun.

Setting: Vaughn & Sydney walking down hall, hands on head, Toni behind them with gun pointing at them.
Toni: Inside. Over there. (To Sydney) Tie his hands.
Sydney and Vaughn fight with Toni, Vaughn gets Toni's gun.
Vaughn (to Sydney): Why don't you tie her.
Toni: Wait. I'm British S.I.S. For the past year, I've been on covert duty trying to penetrate Cole's intelligence network.
Vaughn: Cole?
Sydney: McKenas Cole. Former SD-6. Now he works for a third party. New player on the scene. Someone he calls The Man.
Toni: S.I.S. has been trying to identify The Man for the past three years.
Sydney (to Vaughn): Give me your tie.
Vaughn: My tie?
Toni: And if this mission's a success, Cole will trust me enough to tell me who that Man is.
Vaughn: So what's in the vault?
Toni: I don't know. None of us do. But it has to do with someone named Rambaldi. Look, if you don't let me go, Cole will send someone looking for me. He'll know there's someone else here … and they'll find you.
Vaughn: If we let you go and you're lying, you'll make sure that happens.
Toni: When they find me I'll tell them there's only one of you.

Setting: Sydney & Vaughn back in corridor
Sydney: (shows Vaughn map) The other C-4 packages are here and here.
Vaughn All right. We'll split up and each take one.
Sydney: The explosives are hidden behind steal plates that are bolted to the walls.
Vaughn Which you opened by yourself.
Sydney: There are fire extinguishers at regular G points. Find one. Use the CO2 to freeze the bolts. But go easy or you'll run out.
Vaughn Here. (handing her the spray).
Sydney: I memorized the laser grid. (tears map in half) Your C-4 is located along this corridor. You cross through engineering sub level to electrical. It's far, so run.
Vaughn The storage room where I got in, that's where we'll meet.
Sydney: Maybe we can to go that hockey game.
Vaughn: Maybe. Be careful.
Sydney: You too.

Setting: CIA offices
Weiss: I understand you took a call from Vaughn.
Haladki: Uh, yeah, now that you mention it.
Weiss: A call he made to me. What did he say?
Haladki: I don't know, it was a bad connection.
Weiss: Did he confirm the attack?
Haladki: He was hysterical, per usual. I wouldn't read much into it.
Vaughn at entrance of C-4 package using fire extinguisher to freeze bolts, gets the steel plate off. Then at C-4 package, pulls out crystal.

Setting: SD-6 Communication Room
Vaughn sees Sydney giving herself up to Cole on monitor in room.
Vaughn: Damn it. [Vaughn runs down corridor.]

Setting: CIA Offices
Weiss: … notify road blocks at appropriate intersections and an ambulance standing by.
Receptionist: Weiss, you have a call.
Weiss: Not now.
Receptionist: It's Vaughn. Line 3
Weiss: Talk to me.
Vaughn: Where the hell are you?
Weiss: We're on our way.
Vaughn: The place is wired to blow. Three packages of C-4. We deactivated two. Sydney was supposed to deactivate the third. I don't know if she did.
Weiss: Okay. Can you get to it?
Vaughn: I don't know where it is. They've got everyone including Sydney. As soon as they open the vault the C-4's gonna go off.
Weiss: How soon is that?
Vaughn: Soon. Hurry up.
Weiss: Got it.
Haladki: What the hell is going on?
Weiss: If I find out that you screwed Vaughn you do understand that your ass is mine.
Haladki: I'm not scared of you.
Weiss: Well you should start being scared of me.

Setting: SD-6 Garage after Sydney gives Cole that final "punch".
Vaughn: What's happening upstairs?
Sydney: I think everything is taken care of. We got lucky.
Vaughn: Gotta get my guys outta here. SD-6 will never know we were here.
Sydney: You should go.
Vaughn: You okay?
Sydney: Yeah. Thanks for coming.
Weiss: He had this. (gives small package to Vaughn). (To Sydney) Hey.
Sydney: Hey.
Sydney (to Vaughn): What is that, perfume?
Vaughn: Whatever this is, we have it now and they don't, because of you.
Sydney: Not just me.
Vaughn: Because of you.
Sydney: Then it better be good perfume.
Vaughn: I'm not kidding. Think about it. What you do. Hockey can wait. I don't think what you're doing here can.
Weiss: We should go. Let's go.
Vaughn: Okay. Bye.
Sydney: Bye
