00:00You work for the very enemy you thought you were fighting.

00:02Welcome to Ms. Mojo, and today we're counting down our picks for the top 10 alias moments.

00:08I thought the man was the boss.

00:12Yes.

00:14Yes, but I'm not the man.

00:17For this list, we're looking at the most shocking twists, exhilarating fight scenes,

00:21and emotional revelations that epitomized this action thriller series.

00:25Since it's been almost 20 years, we're not keeping these secrets anymore.

00:29Beware of spoilers.

00:31Which alias moments continue to thrill you?

00:33Dropkick your ideas into the comments.

00:37Number 10.

00:38And So It Begins

00:39Throughout the premiere of this action thriller,

00:42Sidney Bristow is dealt one head-spinning revelation after another.

00:45First, she discovers that her fiancé was murdered by the CIA for learning her secret.

00:49You killed the man I love him.

00:53No, Agent Bristow.

00:55You didn't.

00:56Then, it's revealed that she doesn't work for the CIA.

00:59Her organization is actually an enemy of the U.S. government.

01:03Oh, and her estranged father is part of this group as well.

01:06So you're saying I'm working for the enemy?

01:10And that you are the enemy?

01:12That's already a lot of twists for a single episode.

01:15In what became a signature move for this series, there's one more unforgettable revelation.

01:20In the episode's final moment, Sidney's father reveals that, like her, he is also a double agent for the CIA.

01:27Together, they're going to work to bring down SD6 from the inside.

01:31How do I know what you're telling me is the truth?

01:34I guess we'll just have to learn to trust each other.

01:41Number 9.

01:42Fake Francie Fight.

01:43The audience knew long before Sidney that her roommate Francie had been killed and replaced by an imposter.

01:49She discovered the horrifying truth while sitting on the couch with the murderous doppelganger.

01:53This is going to sound insane, but I just found prophesium in the bathroom, and I think that, I think that, uh, okay, just think about it.

02:03I think that the double is Francie.

02:05Trying to remain calm, Sidney tricked fake Francie into revealing herself.

02:10She offered her coffee ice cream, knowing her real roommate hated it.

02:14Want some?

02:18Sure.

02:18With her worst fears confirmed, Sidney tried to nonchalantly retrieve her gun from the bedroom.

02:24What followed was a thrilling fight between two highly trained female agents.

02:29I just remembered.

02:32Francie doesn't like coffee ice cream.

02:35No, she doesn't.

02:36Along with the excellent choreography, the fight made creative use of the space and props.

02:41Throughout the prolonged battle, it's also clear that Sidney's rage was fueled by the devastating loss of her best friend.

02:48Oh!

02:59Number 8.

03:00A dramatic exit.

03:02Sidney continually struggled to trust her mother.

03:05It's not easy to put your faith in a former KGB agent who faked her life as well as her death.

03:10You're talking about her as though you can trust a word she says.

03:13Which we know we can't, so maybe we could have played her.

03:15Add to it that she opposed Sidney as much as she helped her, and it's understandable.

03:20Sidney, I know our relationship is complicated, but I'm your mother.

03:25I have to believe that would be the case under any circumstance.

03:29In their final moment of season two, Irina is cornered on the roof of a building, perhaps considering a fatal jump.

03:36She gives Sidney a vital piece of information, tells her she loves her, and flings herself off.

03:42It's you and the purpose of Sidney, not me.

03:45For a brief moment, the audience is left to wonder if the scheming mother will survive.

03:49Then it's revealed that Irina is attached to a bungee cord.

03:53She swings into the building to escape, using a method that would make John McClane proud.

03:58Number 7.

03:59Will's Revelation.

04:01After Sidney's fiancé dies for learning her secret, she is careful to keep her friends in the dark about her agent status.

04:07I need you to accept what I've already told you.

04:08You haven't told me anything.

04:10I've lost my mind a little.

04:11As a reporter, Will is continually asking questions and poking at the edges of her secrets.

04:16Sidney is forced to reveal her identity when Will is taken hostage, and it's a great moment.

04:21She comes in sporting a hot pink wig and flying kicks.

04:24Will's reaction when he sees her face is priceless.

04:27It's both a payoff that the fans have been waiting for, and another key moment for Sidney.

04:34She now has a friend who can support her in her double life.

04:37She also has to protect him the way she couldn't protect her fiancé.

04:41I don't love you because of what you do.

04:44And what you don't do.

04:47I just love you.

04:49Number 6.

04:50I would have waited.

04:51The romance between Sidney Bristow and Michael Vaughn was a core aspect of the first and second seasons.

04:56When Sidney disappears for two years, Vaughn moves on and gets married.

05:00This is, um...

05:02Gonna take me a while.

05:06It's hard for the fans to not be angry at his character.

05:09When Sidney finally recovers her strong sense of self,

05:12the indomitable agent tells Vaughn a truth he doesn't want to hear.

05:16She would have waited for him and done whatever was necessary to find him.

05:20The quiet intensity of her speech demonstrates soundly why Jennifer Garner previously won a Golden Globe Award for this character.

05:28If it had been me...

05:29I would have waited.

05:33Don't you love it when a character tells another exactly what you wish you could?

05:37And now I realize...

05:39What...

05:42An absolute waste that would have been.

05:46Number 5.

05:47The Rombardi Mystery.

05:48The mystery of Rombardi and his creations was the overarching plotline that kept the show full of mysteries and missions.

05:55So they're handing over Rombardi's manuscript in Tunisia.

05:57Their mission is to intercept the book and bring it back home.

06:00The CIA was continually trying to get the information and artifacts before SD6.

06:05When Sidney steals a blank page from Rombardi's portfolio,

06:08the CIA is able to reveal its secrets with a special liquid.

06:12Well, CIA site text says that of the few Rombardi documents they've recovered,

06:15the 47th page is always particularly significant.

06:18This blank page was number 47.

06:20In a shocking twist,

06:21the 15th century document had the sketch of a very recognizable face.

06:26I have the page with me and I'd like you to see it.

06:30Okay.

06:30This show loved ending an episode with the fans full of questions.

06:35Why is Sidney's face on that page?

06:38What could it possibly mean?

06:40Back then, fans had to wait a whole week to find out.

06:43Number 4.

06:44A revelation and a crash.

06:47Alias loved to end a season with a cliffhanger nobody saw coming.

06:51This one starts with a rare moment of peace.

06:53Sidney and Vaughn are finally engaged.

06:55They're on their way to a romantic weekend in Santa Barbara.

06:58What if we just blow off the big wedding thing?

07:01What if we just do it on the beach?

07:04The beach?

07:05Suddenly, Vaughn declares he doesn't want to have any more secrets from his future wife.

07:09I love you, Sid.

07:11That's why I need to tell you something.

07:12He implies that he might be considered a bad guy.

07:15Vaughn, what are you telling me?

07:18Furthermore, his name isn't Michael Vaughn.

07:21What?

07:22We'd never had a hint that Vaughn was a double agent,

07:25secret doppelganger, or some other unknown villain.

07:27Before he can reveal the truth, a car crashes into them and the screen cuts to black.

07:33Sidney and the fans would be left in the dark until season 5.

07:37Number 3.

07:38Time Jump.

07:39Poor Sidney never seemed to get a break.

07:41By the end of season 2, she had dealt with the betrayal of her mother

07:44and the possible death of two of her best friends.

07:47What happened to Will to Francie?

07:49Are they dead?

07:49After the fight where she takes out the Francie doppelganger,

07:52things look to be finally resolved.

07:54Maybe she could take a breather and work on her relationship with Agent Vaughn.

07:58Sadly, the next moment, Sidney wakes up across the world with no idea how she got there.

08:04When Vaughn arrives to explain, he reveals that she's been missing for two years.

08:08We thought you were dead.

08:10To make matters worse, he's married now.

08:13Vaughn.

08:13Why are you wearing that ring?

08:19Fans gasped at this horrifying revelation that set up plenty of further adventures for Sidney in season 3.

08:25Number 2.

08:26A Moment of Victory.

08:28Some shows would have kept their main character as a double agent for as long as possible.

08:32So, it was both surprising and gratifying when Alias successfully took down SD6 in the middle of the second season.

08:39Sir, all teams in position.

08:44Let's move in.

08:45It was a nerve-wracking lead-up, as the fans wondered who would survive the much-anticipated attack.

08:50The action sequences throughout the building were satisfyingly fast-paced and frenetic.

08:55We have two men down at SD4.

08:57Reed gets killed at SD.

08:59When the mission was declared victorious, Sidney and Vaughn only had eyes for each other.

09:03Their simmering romance was no longer forbidden.

09:06And, and so, they sealed it with a kiss.

09:09Truly victorious moments were rare in this twist-loving show.

09:13So, it was important to appreciate them while they lasted.

09:16Guys, see what I said?

09:17Asses.

09:20Okay.

09:21Before we unveil our top pick, here are some honorable mentions.

09:25Tech Geek to the Rescue.

09:26Sidney is buried alive, and Marshall finally gets to be the hero.

09:30Sid?

09:31You okay?

09:32You okay?

09:35Marshall?

09:36Yeah.

09:37Happily Ever After?

09:39An ending that rewards the main characters, but leaves a tantalizing teaser.

09:43Hey, what have you been doing back there?

09:45Nothing, Mom.

09:45Train Fight.

09:47A brilliantly choreographed fight on a moving train.

09:54The Proposal.

09:56Vaughn finally pops the question.

09:58Sidney Bristow, will you marry me?

10:18Number 1.

10:21It was your mother.

10:22For most of her life, Sidney believed her mother died in a car accident when she was

10:26young.

10:27So, I suppose in a way, your mother's accident was my fault, since the FBI was after me.

10:37Later, she was shocked to learn that her mother was a KGB agent who married Jack to steal secrets.

10:43But Sidney, I was not that agent.

10:50Your mother was.

10:51Throughout the first season, Sidney pursued information about her mother and her family's

10:55past.

10:56She was also chasing the leader of a rogue group bent on taking down SD6.

11:01He was referred to only as The Man, and soon, Sidney was captured and left to face him alone.

11:07As the last minutes counted down on the season finale, the identity of her elusive enemy was

11:12revealed.

11:13The Man was Sidney's not-so-dead mother.

11:16Twists like this one definitely kept fans coming back for more.
