Complete story — includes the ending

In Havana, Sydney pulls her informant Alex Rucker onto the dance floor. Paid in diamonds, he tells Dixon the HDD location. Her driver shot, Sydney's captured by Third Faction boss, Ulrich Kottor, who shoots Rucker. The booby-trapped HDD releases cyclosarin towards Dixon; APO locks-down for thirty-six hours. Late to work, Marshall learns Sydney is trapped inside a coffin; he's the only one free to rescue her. Using a rigged transceiver, he locates her cellphone, and via re-tasked thermal imaging satellite, Marshall finds Sydney unconscious, but alive. He revives her with CPR. In Berlin, only Marshall can scan Kottor's PDA, as he's already seen Sydney. Marshall accidentally kills Kottor with his cellphone-gun. Jack instructs Marshall how to remove Kottor's eye using a spork, for retinal security access in the basement to penetrate a firewall. Sydney fights her way past Kottor's henchmen; Marshall hits one with a fire poker. They access the server, obtaining the real data, which they deliver to APO. Meanwhile over the phone, Marshall sings his baby to sleep with a Lanthanide series lullaby. Although his wife is with the NSA, he can never reveal his black-op. Sydney and Vaughn dance their first dance.
