Evidence found on a victim in an elevator accident leads to the elusive Sloane (
Ron Rifkin), who is poised to steal yet another precious Rambaldi manuscript. Irina (
Lena Olin) suggests that a sting operation be set up to capture Sloane, thereby enabling her daughter, Sydney (
Jennifer Garner), to finally quit the spy business. Meanwhile, circumstantial evidence leads Syd to suspect that Vaughn (
Michael Vartan) has stolen Xenon, a forbidden description program, and is prepared to sell it to the highest bidder; after much soul-searching, Dixon (
Carl Lumbly) elects to join the CIA; and Francie's evil lookalike (
Merrin Dungey) attempts to extract valuable information from Will (
Bradley Cooper). Comedian
Richard Lewis guest stars in a dramatic role as the CIA counterintelligence analyst, Mitchell Yager, who is investigating Vaughn for possible disloyalty. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
