Killjoy keeps looking at all the pictures. "I suspect you have your own reasons for disliking her," says Boy George Sark. "Therefore, I am confident that you'll relay this information to the appropriate parties." Anthony Michael Sark kicks open the passenger door. "By the way, I've rigged a weight-sensitive charge to the underside of this vehicle." Killjoy glances back at him in a panic. "Once I leave you," he says, "I'll activate it. If you attempt to get out of the car before thirty minutes has elapsed, the charge will detonate." Killjoy doesn't respond. Judd Nelson Sark, still holding his gun to Killjoy's temple, just smiles. "It has been a pleasure, Miss Reed." He gets out of the car and walks in front of it. He looks at Killjoy and presses a button on some remote device he has in his hand. Something beneath the car beeps and clicks. Stephen "Tin Tin" Duffy Sark walks away, stuffing the remote device into the pocket of his black duster coat.
Then we're repeating the animated opening sequence of colors and reds and greens and blues and angels and confusion. Suddenly, Syd wakes up. She's gasping and grasping for a hold on her current reality. She's on a CIA jet, and her cell phone is ringing. Syd gets it together and picks up. Spy Daddy is on the other end. He's all, you okay? Honey? You sound upset? Syd's all, um, yeah, fine, I'm fine. I mean, other than the fact that I'm dreaming about colors and angels and tubes coming out of me, I am so totally fine. She asks Jack if he received her transmission. He did. He's all, Sloane gave you a key which he claims was sent to him some time before you woke up in Hong Kong. Syd's all, yeah, his claim was pretty damn convincing. "It was written in my handwriting," she says.
"The ciphertext as well?" asks Jack. "Yes, why?" asks Syd. "Remember when I told you that during the time you were missing, I contacted your mother?" asks Jack. "That ciphertext was encoded using a method she devised." "What does this mean?" asks Syd. "That I was in contact with Mom during the two years I was gone?" "If that's true," says Jack, "she failed to mention it during our last communication." Syd looks out her window. "Can you break the code?" she asks her father. He's all, oh yeah, sure. I learned the code from your mom last year. It's an address in Rome, baby. "1124 Piazza Barbarini. The penthouse apartment. Does that mean anything to you?" Jack asks. Syd says no, it don't mean nothin' to her. Jack says that he had a local contact pull up the property record. The apartment was purchased a year ago, and the buyer chose to remain anonymous. "Get some rest," he says. "When you get back, you and I will go to Rome together." "Okay," says Syd, unsure of just who and where she is.
