Apple Store. Marshall's on the phone, barking at someone to provide him with a military-grade computer virus or something. I have no idea. My guess is that Marshall's still trying to hack into MILSAT and save the world. Weiss asks if he's close to a solution and Marshall's all, dude? Not really a good question to ask right now, okay? Weiss is all, hey li'l buddy, don't blame yourself; this system was designed to survive World War III. Weiss goes on to say that he just got off the phone with his pal at the secret service and they've initiated the Continuity Of Government Protocol. This basically means that the Pres and all other important heads of state are being evacuated to underground command centers. The end of the world, she is nigh. Weiss quips that somewhere, in the back of his mind, he figured he'd be on the list, but he isn't. "Yeah," says Marshall. "It's kind of like high school all over again. All the cool kids are having a party and I'm not invited." Heh. He picks up his phone and calls his wife. "Hi, honey. I don't -- I don't have a lot of time. I just…I just wanted to tell you I love you. I don't get to tell you that often enough. What? No, I haven't been drinking! I'm just gonna be home early tonight, okay? Bye." Aw. And heh.
Elena's Bunker of Bitchiness. Swarthy Henchman tells Elena that the Russian bombers are taxiing to the runway, and once MILSAT goes online, the signal will be broadcast worldwide. You know, in case we missed that part before. Sloane appears on a video monitor toting a bloody body and Swarthy Henchman goes to let him in. The door opens, and Vaughn reveals himself as the bloody body and easily takes the henchman out with one shot. He and Sloane enter, followed by Jack and Irina. Elena runs out and stops when she sees them. Way to be prepared, o dreamer of world domination. "Hello, sis," says Irina. Heh. "Ever since you were eleven, there's something I've wanted to do." "You woul--" WHAM! Irina whaps her with the butt of her machine gun. Hee! Nice. The rest of the team moves in to take care of business.
Sloane grabs Elena and starts strapping her to a chair. Jack moves to the Dells of Death and Destruction and determines that they can't retract the signal from there; Vaughn has to go to the relay room and destroy it. Meanwhile, up on the Red-Hued Roof of Rage, Syd goes to do her part for humanity. She walks up right under the ball and sees the huge Mueller Device above her, spinning and glowing. She goes over to the box with the billions of wires. Just then, Nadia walks up. Syd's all, hey, sis! I thought you were dead! Good to see -- oh. Uh. Nadia? I hate to say this, but you look a little stoned. Can I get you some Visine or, um, saline solution? Damn, girl. What is WRONG with you? Nadia moves toward Sydney like a zombie bent on destruction, which is, um, what she is at this particular moment in time.
