Complete story — includes the ending
"My fiancée was gunned down in front of me. It turns out he wasn't the first. They killed anyone who got too close. They'd infiltrated the highest levels of governments, and the inner sanctums of intelligence agencies. They appeared to control entire sectors of technology, finance, defense. We believed they were run by a group of twelve, whose power was everywhere and nowhere, because no one knew who they were...until now. I've lived with secrets all my life...and I'm done." — Sydney Bristow, prologue narration In Sydney, Sydney photographs the first man and two others. Globally, APO identifies all Twelve. For self-preservation, Sloane, Sark and Peyton plot to solidify power, abducting Marshall and Rachel to hack ground-penetrating satellites. Marshall refuses "end-of-the-world bad!" Kelly tortures Marshall; Sark tortures Rachel. Carrie provides Op-Tech through Marshall's password, " Moonglum of Elwher." Called "twisted...weak...pathetic," Nadia haunt-taunts Sloane, "Marshall's right...Love..Family..Honor....you'll never break them." Sloane extorts Sydney, "Marshall, whatever he asks." Replying, "Tell Carrie...I'll finish reading Littlest Fish..." Marshall hints, "Rachel...leapfrog the system." Deciphering lead character "Noah," Carrie hacks NOAA satellites for location. Rachel locates Rambaldi's cave; " Umbria." Sloane, "should've known...Eliminate them." Carrie pinpoints Ixtapa; Jack mounts a rescue. Picking handcuffs with underwire, Rachel shoots a guard, freeing Marshall; Sydney kills two more. At Mount Subasio, Vaughn belays Sydney's rappel into a chasm. Sloane holds Rambaldi's amulet. Sark plants a bomb. Having captured schematics, Jack orders APO-Subway evacuation. Tom slows countdown with liquid nitrogen. In Zurich, Peyton kills The Twelve (expecting the amulet) with machine-pistols. Radioing, Tom "would've asked you out." Rachel "would've said yes." The bomb kills Tom, destroying APO-HQ. Holding the amulet against rising sun-rays, something appears. "Sydney...You're not allowed to see." Sloane shoots a hidden crevasse; Sydney falls through.
