Ricky Gervais in Alias - PART 1

Ricky doing some quality serious acting. I wonder how many takes these scenes took him to do without giggling. Sorry about the annoying subtitles. Episode summary (s3e15): Daniel Ryan (Ricky Gervais), a freelance bomb maker whose bombs are impossible to defuse, destroys a bank in Belfast to get the attention of The Covenant: if they do not make a deal with him in 48 hours, he'll bomb a target in the US to attract buyers from other terrorist groups. The CIA picks up Ryan and sets up an elaborate scheme to try to convince him that they are The Covenant. Ryan is still sceptical, but Lisenker appears and vouches for them. Ryan agrees to the deal if Sark will meet his associate on a certain flight to get the details. Lisenker agrees. To get the real Sark on the flight, the CIA spreads word of Ryan's offer; it works, and Vaughn reports that Sark is on board. However, during the flight, Ryan's associate never shows up. Trying to find out why Ryan wanted Sark on the plane, Syd calls Sloane - who is sleeping with Dr. Barnett. Sloane reveals that Ryan's brother was killed by the Covenant. Seeing the man's picture, Syd realizes that she was the one who killed Ryan's brother, to make them believe she was Julia Thorne. On the plane, Vaughn arrests and handcuffs Sark. Vaughn finds the bomb and tries to deactivate it following Marshall's instructions over the phone, but he has to free Sark for help. Syd goes to Ryan, confessing that she is CIA. Trying to relate, she tells him how the Covenant tortured her to try to convince her she was Julia Thorne. Syd begs Ryan to deactivate the bomb and save the man she loves, who is on the plane. Ryan seems to understand, asking for a phone to dial in a code. However, he lied: the code activates a timer on the bomb on the plane - and on the plasma charge in Marshall's office! Ryan knows that Julia Thorne killed his brother, and this is his revenge. The CIA starts to evacuate their building: Jack approaches Ryan, choking him until he's nearly lifeless. He revives Ryan, demanding the real deactivation codes and a shaken Ryan agrees. On the plane, with the danger from the bomb over, Sark attacks Vaughn, but Vaughn fights back and knocks Sark out. Sark is turned over to the French authorities, and Vaughn returns. Finding Syd crying in the CIA garage, they embrace. Aired: Sunday March 14, 2004
