So, yeah, Syd captures the architect's signature and this allows Marshall to decrypt the encoded PDA and get the goods on the amp glass. The architect wants to give Syd a private tour, if you know what I mean, and Syd, who's pretty much done with the dude, just snits, "Yeah. That'd be nice. Just you, me…and your wife." The architect's wife is making her way over that very moment, and Syd just sneers at the guy and walks off in pursuit of the amp glass. Jack orders Nadia to get the access key. She shows up wearing a green dress that doesn't really do her boobs any favors, but shows off her shoulders nicely. She quickly nabs some guy's access card and slinks off. "That was easy," she says as we head back to the Past of Muted Tones.
We're in a jail. A cop opens a door and Nadia's inside, cowering in a corner, bloody and beaten, with a rather large shiner. Roberto enters and tries to calm her down while he yells for someone to get a doctor. Later, after Nadia has been patched up, Roberto goes a little "Uncle Bob" on the poor girl and starts asking her name and generally trying to get info out of her. He tells her she's famous. They don't know her name, but her résumé is…impressive. Consisting mostly of petty theft, shoplifting, burglary, assault, and breaking and entering, the number of crimes on her list amounts to 130. Nadia just sits there silently, not giving up a thing. Roberto pumps her up, telling her she's talented and special and perhaps she'd like to work for the government and shack up with Jean-Hughes Anglade after eating ravioli? "I'm here to offer you a life you could never imagine," Roberto wraps up as we return to the Present in Full Color.
Nadia slips Weiss the key card and he, in turn, slips it to Syd. She heads to the lab with the amp glass. Nadia turns a corner and sees Cesar drifting through the party. We go back to the Past of Muted Tones and Nadia's meeting with Sonia Braga. They chat back and forth about Nadia running away and how Sonia looked for her and they're each sorry for having failed the other. Nadia then confides in Sonia about the Roberto offer, and without even blinking, Sonia tells Nadia that she should accept it. Yeah. It's pretty obvious that Sonia knows alllll about Roberto and what his "governmental agency" actually is.
Present in Full Color. Nadia gets on comms and tells everyone that Cesar has arrived. This doesn't seem to bother anyone but Nadia, because she knows Cesar so well that she knows he ain't just hanging out and doing recon. Dude's here to get the glass. Syd, en route to the lab, asks her if she's sure. Nadia's all, DO I SOUND LIKE I'M SURE? Syd just ignores her and keeps going after the glass. Sure enough, the second Syd enters the lab, guns start going off upstairs at the party. Looks like they're not killing anyone, they're just trying to get everyone on the ground. Dix orders Syd to abort, but she's headstrong and reckless and keeps on going after the glass. Upstairs, Cesar just calmly walks through the chaos with a glass of bubbly. Heh. He goes directly to the door Syd walked through not two seconds before.
