Then we're with Sloane, and he's wearing one of his weird headpieces that suggests he has constant connection with the world through his wireless cell phone. That just doesn't seem right to me. Syd calls him and tells him she's ready for the exchange; just set the time and place with Penis Head. Sloane, swirling a very nice vino in his glass is all, oh, but Penis Head's taken your father and Vaughn into custody, didn't you know? Dixon is in custody as well. Syd, sitting in what looks like the Batmobile, looks completely surprised and looks at Will, who's driving. Sloane tells her that they need to proceed with the exchange as planned, so that Penis Head will believe she was taken by the Covenant. Basically, Sloane says that the Rambaldi device is being delivered in San Pedro and he's hired a team to pick it up; they'll appear to be working for the Covenant. "As soon as they've left the area," says Sloane, "you're to drive yourself to Wolensny." Yeah, I have no idea. No captions means NO IDEA.
Syd's all, dude? You were never ending up with the Rambaldi device. I'll make sure of that. I want it taken directly to the parking lot at Hill Street and Ninth. Oh, and I want the van to remain visible at all times, okay? And no one is to enter or exit the vehicle. "Sydney," says Sloane, sucking down his premium red, "you have my word." "That's a relief," says Syd, clearly not at ease with Sloane's statements.
The next thing we see is Agent Sean, walking through Oops Center. His phone is ringing. He picks up. "Weiss," he says, obviously unaware that we all refer to him as Agent Sean. Syd just tells him that she needs a favor. Sean's all, dude? Where are you? Syd's all, dude? Tell no one about this call. And that Rambaldi device? It's actually going to Sloane. Keep an eye on him, dude. From a short distance, or a long one. Including satellites, okay? Agent Sean's on it. "I don't know what the hell you're up to, but good luck," says Agent Sean.
Hell-Lay. We're down by the docks. Penis Head gets out of his car and checks on his walkie-talkie as to the status of the Rambaldi device. Someone on the other end informs him that the Covenant has taken position around the device. Or something. Again, NO IDEA. Then we see a couple of guys loading a crate onto a truck. Back in Oops Center, Agent Sean is watching the activity on his monitor. He tells Syd that the "package" is in sight. Syd, in her car, copies that and tells Sean to follow the van to the rendezvous point; anything unusual, he'll let her know, right? RIGHT? Syd tells Agent Sean that she's heading toward Penis Head and to wish her luck. Meanwhile, over with Penis Head, someone's informing him that Agent Bristow is heading his way. Yeah. This would be the moment we're ALL wondering about. Is Sydney going to DIE? Yeah. I wouldn't bet on it, okay? Remember that thing on the bench where Sloane didn't mention her name? Yeah. Hold tight, chilrun, cuz this is one of those "What the FUCK?" moments.
A car pulls up. Syd gets out. She moves over to Penis Head. The shooter, Hot Guy, looks down upon them from behind his sniper's rifle. Syd walks up and faces Penis Head, in all his un-glory. Hot Guy takes aim. First, Syd's in his sights. "On behalf of the U.S. Government, I want to say, how relieved I am at your safe return," says Penis Head. Oh. Okay. If that alone weren't reason enough to NOT TRUST HIM. Syd just stands there. Hot Guy takes aim. A red circle appears on Penis Head's chest. Heh. Syd realizes that someone has Penis Head in their sights. She looks behind her all, dude! No! You can't! Oh, but they can. And do. And goodbye, Penis Head. We knew you well, but we sure as hell didn't like you.
