Episode Report Card Erin: A | 2 USERS: A YOU GRADE IT Electric (Stick of Honesty) Dreams
By Erin | Season 5 | Episode 9 | Aired on 12.13.2005
Back in the Hypno Torture Room, Dr. Funboy is instructing Sydney to stay with Vaughn. Back in the dream, some Korean guards enter and start kicking the shit out of Vaughn. Vaughn fights back and frees himself. Then there's static on a walkie on the floor and Vaughn disappears. Through the walkie, Dr. Funboy again instructs Syd to stay with Vaughn. He hits her with the Electric Stick of Honesty one more time just for kicks and we head back to the memory, where Sydney hears Vaughn's voice come out of the walkie. She picks it up and tries to respond to him, but it keeps cutting out to static. "Don't let him leave you, Sydney," says Dr. Funboy. "Where. Is. Vaughn?" We head into the memory we started with at the beginning of the episode, with Sydney filling up the tea kettle with water and Vaughn coming in from the market. Dr. Funboy is pleased to note that Syd and Vaughn are back together again.
Élodie's Apartment of Soon-To-Be-Dead Daddies. Jack's demanding that Desantis tell him where Sydney is. "I'll tell you nothing," gasps Desantis. Jack indicates that Desantis will never survive his current blood loss, so he'd better speak up about Sydney's whereabouts. "Where she is, does not matter," says Desantis. "Your concern should be where she is going." Buh? Élodie, who's been going through Desantis's date book in the background, suddenly calls Jack over. "I've found a repeating address in the calendar," she says. "Kristina Korut, 37 E," says Jack, reading. "That's in Hungary." "He's had it marked three times in the last four months and once on this date, three weeks from now." Jack looks at the date in the book and he shoots a look at Desantis. "Jack, what is it?" asks Élodie. "That's Sydney's due date," he says. Uh-oh. "Gimme your gun," he says.
Jack stomps over to Desantis and pulls back his head, putting the gun to his chin. "What is going to happen at Kristina Korut, 37 E?!" he demands. "You'll never know," Desantis rather childishly responds. "That's for me to know and you to find out. Oh, and neener neener." Jack asks if Sydney's being held there, but Desantis says of course she isn't. Jack thinks he's lying. Desantis is past caring what Jack thinks. Jack wants to know what's at that address. Desantis says that Jack can't do anything to him now because he's quite prepared to die. Jack realizes that threatening Desantis with death won't do any good, so, finally, he pulls back and moves away. He passes Élodie in the door way and says, "See if he means it." Élodie doesn't even flinch. She moves toward Desantis with her gun pulled as Jack walks toward the front door and makes a call to Dixon to set up a transport to Hungary. He hangs up the phone as two gunshots ring out from the back room. Later, Desantis!
Hypno Torture Room for Pregnant Spy Ladies. Dr. Funboy wants Syd to think back to a time of comfort with Vaughn -- back to the first time she realized that Vaughn really cared for her. So, we head back to an evening at an amusement park. Syd and Vaughn are just hanging out. Syd's cell phone rings. She goes to answer it and it's Dr. Funboy. "Draw me a map," he says. "How far it reaches." Syd promptly throws her phone into the ocean. Heh. She tells Vaughn they're pushing her closer and he asks what they want. She doesn't know. Something about a map. Her cell phone rings again and she answers it. It's Dr. Funboy again and he repeats the thing about the map. Again, Syd flings her phone into the ocean. Vaughn laughs at her and her repeated phone flingings. Suddenly, Vaughn turns serious. "Listen to me," he says. "You have got to let me go." "I can't." "You've got to." "I can't stand it -- being here without you. I feel like I'm losing my mind. Like I don't know who I am anymore."
