19. Hourglass

Complete story — includes the ending

In Nepal, Sark tries abducting the monk Conrad, in vain; Olivia Reed tranquilizes Conrad. Sydney affects a rescue, but Sark shoots Conrad. Dying, he says, "They have The Restoration...Passenger is compromised. It's...You. The Passenger...She is your Destiny...your sister." Confronted by his affair with Irina, Sloane tells Sydney he founded OmniFam to search for his daughter via DNA sampling. Weiss connects "The Restoration" to Conrad's encoded Passenger manuscript. Jack uses a fake decoder to discover Lauren's Covenant handler...revealing her mother Olivia's involvement. Vaughn scans the manuscript, detailing The Hourglass, purchased by Yakuza shipper Masa Raidon in San Pedro. But, the Hourglass will only reveal The Passenger to the father; Sloane. Jack still doesn't budge; Sydney bluffs that she checked Reed's documents...she knows the Trust exists. Director of Legal Policy at Justice, Marlon Bell also wants Sloane dead. Jack toasts to Arvin's execution with Chambertin-Clos de Bèze. Sloane's execution is prepared while Sydney raids Raidon's stronghold. Sloane is pronounced dead before Sydney returns with the Hourglass. She walks away from Jack, "Stop. There's nothing you can say." Olivia tells Lauren, Vaughn played her, "his last mistake." Jack revives Sloane, "Modified kayexalate cocktail...with tetrodotoxin...like we used in Saigon." Jack still needs Sloane.
