Double Trouble/Transcript

In Alaska...

Chief Elizabeth Ripley: , as you know, we're in Alaska to offer protection for Unified Nations inspector Niilo Virtanen.

Elizabeth: You've uncovered a serious threat on Virtanen's life, which, considering the current political unrest, cannot be taken lightly.

Elizabeth: This USStay versus USNay debate has been stained with blood, and we cannot allow a member of the Unified Nations to be killed on our watch!

Elizabeth: Not to mention SOMBRA might very well be behind this threat. After all, not only did they put a hit on the leader of the USStay movement...

Elizabeth: ...They also funded the USNay movement through O.M. MediLab before you successfully shut that company down!

Elizabeth: What they stand to gain from the current unrest is still unclear, but it's obvious SOMBRA's thriving on the current chaos. We cannot risk another murder!

Elizabeth: Which is why Archer will disguise himself as Virtanen, acting as a decoy during Virtanen's planned inspection of the Bearing Straight weapons factory.

(Jack is in his full disguise, sans mask.)

Jack (putting mask on): Getting ready as we speak, Chief! And looking forward to the mission!

Elizabeth: Meanwhile, the real Virtanen will remain in the chalet that has been booked for his stay in Alaska.

Joel: You can't do this, Chief Ripley! You're risking one of your agents for no reason! This is Unified Nations jurisdiction, not yours!

Elizabeth: , this is Joel Heller. He's in charge of Mr Virtanen's security.

Elizabeth: Mr Heller, we appreciate your concern, but the Bureau has the clearance to keep Mr Virtanen safe.

Joel: We'll see about that! I'm calling my senior officer to report your reckless behavior!

Elizabeth: You do that. Now, where is Jonah? You'd think he'd be excited to take part in this assignment!

Jonah: Reporting for duty, Chief! Let's do this, !

Elizabeth: Excellent! , the inspection schedule must be respected. There's no time to lose! Get to the weapons factory!

Jack (fully disguised): Jack Archer, at your service, ! Let's go to the weapons factory!

At Bearing Straight...

(Jack is disguised as Niilo.)

Jack: , we've been here for 15 minutes and no one has welcomed us! If I were really a Unified Nations inspector, Bearing Straight would get a failing grade from me!

Jack: I mean, why go through the inspection if-

(A gunshot rings out, and Jack is shot in the chest.)

Jack (collapsing): ... I... ugh...

(Jonah grasps Jack, who has fallen unconscious.)

Jonah (holding Jack): JACK! I mean, Mr Virtanen!

Jonah: He's not responding! , I'll stay behind to look for the shooter! You need to get him to the hospital!

At the hospital...

Carmen: , what happened?! Jack was shot?! I can't believe this!

Carmen: Jonah called me, he said he couldn't find any trace of the shooter... He feels terrible about letting this happen.

Elizabeth: I just spoke to the surgeon. Luckily the bullet didn't hit any vital organs. Jack's in intensive care, but his prognosis is good.

Carmen: That's great news! What a relief!

Elizabeth: It appears Jack was shot with a 9mm, most likely a semi-automatic pistol...

Elizabeth (holding and looking at her ringing phone): One moment, , Ingrid's calling...

(Chief Ripley picks up the phone.)

Ingrid (talking to her headset): Chief, ! This is terrible!

Elizabeth: Ingrid, Jack's fine! We successfully stopped the attempt on Niilo Virtanen's life!

Ingrid: You didn't! That's why I'm calling: Niilo Virtanen was murdered at the chalet!

Elizabeth: WHAT?! Virtanen is dead?!

Elizabeth (putting the phone down): , take Carmen and go to the chalet immediately! We need to secure Virtanen's body!
