By Erin | Season 5 | Episode 15 | Aired on 05.16.2006
Back at the Prison of the Rose, Dix splices into the network and APO has visual on the prison. They isolate the women's block and find Sydney. Sark, meanwhile, is being carted into the medical wing. Before the doctor on staff can stab him with a sedative, he stops faking his medical condition and slaps her aside. Then he quickly takes out the remaining guards. Oh, I do love to see him punch people. He's skinny, but powerful. He moves over to the computer and starts to hack into the system. APO loses visual on the prison due to his hacking. Vaughn asks if there's any way to get visual again, and Marshall says that they could try accessing the alarm system to get a Van Eck signal. Dix moves into action.
Sark continues hacking and manages to open up Sydney's door. She quickly moves to it and runs out into the hallway. The guards are all conveniently on a coffee break because Syd just walks around like she's in a dormitory or something. She gets to a locked door that doesn't immediately open thanks to the fact that one of Sark's fallen guards has started to wake and kick the shit out of Sark. A couple of guards are off their break, obviously, because they're making their way to Sydney. "Sark, where are you?" whispers Syd. Sark's busy beating the hell out of the guard, so he can't get to the door right now, Sydney. He kicks the guard to the ground and hits the "enter" button, allowing Syd to go through the door right before the guards come upon her.
As Syd escapes down some stairs to a hallway as wet as one of the public bathrooms Dane Cook is always talking about, Sark gets captured by a couple of other guards who just happen to come upon him. Syd walks along in her baggy prison pajamas, searching for something vaguely Rambaldi-esque. She turns a corner and sees a dripping and dank room with walls that are covered with drawings and words. There's a sound behind her and she turns, only to be faced with Creepy Gaunt Not-Rambaldi Man from earlier. He says that he's been waiting for her for a very long time. For as long as 500 years? Really? You're remarkably well-preserved for a 500-year-old man, dude. You know, except for those sunken cheeks and saucers filled with grey matter beneath your eyes.
Syd says, "Rambaldi! Yo! What up, G? Word on the street has it that you got somethin' I'm lookin' for!" Rambaldi is all, "I totally do, chief. Word. You want you some Rose, is what I'm thinkin'." "I do that," says Syd. "I do that." Rambaldi says, "I got me some nice-ass baseball right here, honey. What you need it for?" "Oh, just for my writers, G. They need SOMETHING to get them through these last couple of episodes. God knows the HASH ain't doin' 'em right." "Word," says Rambaldi. "I hear that. Well, float me a hundred and I'll set you up." "What, no Writer's Guild discount?" asks Syd. "Honey, please," says Rambaldi. "The way they're hittin' me up? I should be chargin' them DOUBLE."
