More driving. More chasing. Finally the limo comes to a screeching halt and the big black van pulls up. A guy gets out of the driver's side and kneels with his hands in the air. The team moves in, and Jack gets out with his gun pointed at the driver. He walks up and grabs the guy, whipping him around. And guess what? It sure as hell ain't Sark. Instead, it's some random guy who just says in a foreign language, "They paid me to drive! They paid me to do it!"
Jack leaves him to babble on and moves over to the limo door, opening it. Shocker -- there's no one inside. He gets on the horn to Spanky. "Check the Rambaldi manuscript!" Spanky orders the lackey to go get the manuscript. Meanwhile, the real limo peels around some corner somewhere and comes to a stop. Sark turns and shoots both of the Delta boys dead. Irina kind of flinches. "Step out of the car, please," says Sark pleasantly.
Again with the Vengeful Vaughn. Syd's looking over the documents as Vaughn watches her. "Did you find anything?" she asks. "Nothing," he says. "She's clean." That? We had to wait for THAT? Oh, please. I was hoping that the documents would state in big black letters, "IRINA CALLED SLOANE AT HIS SECRET LOCATION AND THEY'RE MEETING UP LATER TODAY" or something. No such luck.
Back with Jack, he's asking Spanky if he has the book. Spanky tells him that it's coming. Elsewhere, some sort of police-type van is pulling around a corner. As it makes its way over to them, Sark and Irina move away from the limo. Back at Oops Center, the lackey is walking over to Spanky with one of those metallic briefcases. He hands it to Spanky, who opens it and finds the case that the manuscript came in. Well, that's a relief. I'm sure the manuscript itself is in there, right? RIGHT?
Back with Irina, the police-type van pulls up and Sark opens the door, revealing a linen-suited Sloane. "It's good to see you again, Irina," he smirks. She smiles at him and says, "Thank you for extracting me." Then she pulls a package out of the back of her jeans and hands it to him. He opens it and pulls out the Rambaldi manuscript. He looks at her, smiles evilly, and extends his hand. Irina takes it and gets into the van. Sark follows and shuts the door. The van drives off.
Oops Center. Kendall opens the manuscript case. It's filled with multi-colored Post-It notes. What'd I say about the Post-It notes? Huh? What'd I say? He rifles through them as if the he'll find the manuscript hiding beneath them or something and then tells Jack, "It's gone." As the subtly Indian-tinged music plays over the soundtrack, Jack just walks off with an expression on his face of, "Yeah. That's what I thought." The camera pulls up and away, and Jack walks off with his own sense of betrayal firmly intact.
