Prophet Five

Sydney regains consciousness after the car crash and instinctively suspects
the motives of the paramedics. When a man tries to inject her with a
tranquilizer, she swipes his hand away and eludes the other "medics."
Hiding in a cornfield, she sees Vaughn airlifted by an unmarked helicopter.

Later, as doctors evaluate Syd, she meets Gordon Dean from the Office of
Special Investigations, who grills her about Vaughn's whereabouts and
activities. Jack explains that Vaughn is a suspected double agent, and the
car crash was actually an extraction.

A bloodied Vaughn, referred to as Mr. Michaux, is given a strip of paper
with coded numbers. When Vaughn denies knowing anything about the cryptic
sheet, a man named Curtis threatens to cut "the girl's finger off." Vaughn
agrees to cooperate and asks for a pencil.

Before Vaughn can write, however, he asks to have his dislocated shoulder
popped into place. When Curtis accommodates him, he punches Curtis and
makes his escape. He contacts Sydney and asks her to trust him -- and to
bring his father's watch when they rendezvous.

At APO Dixon tells a troubled Syd to give Vaughn the benefit of the doubt -
as Dixon did for her years ago when he first realized that they worked for
SD-6. Meanwhile, Gordon Dean instructs Marshall to pull Vaughn's files.

When Sydney arrives in Rome, Vaughn explains that his real name is Andre
Michaux and his father was a mathematician involved with a top-secret
project called "Prophet Five." He gleaned this info seven years ago from a
woman named Renee Rienne and has been working with her since.

They meet James Lehman, a friend of Vaughn's father. Lehman explains that
brilliant scientists and linguists were recruited for Prophet Five in the
70's and were asked to break the code of a 500 year-old document on
advanced genetics. After this group succeeded, its members were
systematically murdered. As precaution, Vaughn's father changed his
identity, as did Lehman. He warns that the murderers are relentless. He
tells them the location of a book containing more Prophet Five intel.

In Cape Town, South Africa, Sydney and Vaughn, posing as a French couple
attending a party at a mansion, try unsuccessfully to steal the book from
the home's vault. As they run towards a cliff, Sydney receives a phone call
from her doctor, who tells her that she's pregnant. Sydney shares the good
news with Vaughn, who has a muted reaction. They jump.

Meanwhile, Sloane combs through medical journals in jail, desperately trying
to find a cure for Nadia, who is still in a coma after being subjected to
Rambaldi's device. He denies knowing anything about Vaughn's treachery to
Jack, but says that Renee Rienne, an ex-CIA agent, could be a possible lead.

As Sydney and Vaughn sit in a car waiting for Lehman, they talk about her
pregnancy. Vaughn says his initial hesitation was because of the
complicated world they live in, but he can't wait to be a father. Seeing
Lehman in the distance, Vaughn jumps out. Suddenly another car drives by --
Gordon Dean steps out with Curtis and both fire at Lehman and Vaughn. They
drop in a hail of bullets.

Waiting in the ICU, Syd tells Jack she's going to stand by Vaughn. As Jack
reprimands her, Sydney reveals her pregnancy. Jack softens. Later, he goes
to APO and instructs the team to research Prophet Five and retrieve the
records in Cape Town.

Later, as Syd watches over Vaughn, he flat-lines. Syd is frantic as the
doctors work on him to no avail. He slips away.

After Vaughn's funeral, Syd travels to shady London bar, where she speaks to
the bartender. After an initial denial, the bartender admits she's Renee
Rienne.
