Episode Report Card Erin: A | 1 USERS: A- YOU GRADE IT Sark. Do I even need to say anything else?
By Erin | Season 4 | Episode 8 | Aired on 02.22.2005
There's more scrambling and everyone's trying to grab Karg. Vaughn, Dix, and Syd work like a well-oiled machine as they get Karg into a good position to, um, extract his…finger. As Syd plunges Karg's hand into an ice bucket, we cut to Nadia, who's strapped to a chair somewhere. Nadia seems strangely calm as Anna says, "You look like her. Your mother." Nadia says that Anna shouldn't waste her time trying to bring the scare on. Anna says that Nadia's already scared, so why should she bother trying? "I would be scared too," says Anna. "If I did not understand what this was all about." Anna walks off to assemble some…I don't know, element of torture? No idea. Nadia says that Syd told her all about Anna. She knows enough. "Your sister," says Anna, "she's a curse." Nadia looks at her. "You see what happens, don't you?" says Anna. "To everyone she loves. One day, you will be asked to pay the price. Today, you will feel a little bit of that." Anna lights something that looks like a Bunsen burner, and Nadia looks away in…fear? Anticipation? Boredom? I don't know. She doesn't seem too freaked, is all I'm saying.
Hotel Room of Finger Removal. Karg is pleading for his life. Little does he know that the Appleseed Gang ain't after his life. They're just after his finger and, if he shuts up for a minute, they can get it, and he can go into hiding, as God intended. Dix announces that they have nine minutes left and, as Karg keeps screaming, Vaughn shouts that they should keep him quiet. Syd shoves a napkin in his mouth and, making sure his hands are bound behind him, moves to face him. "Look at me," she says. "LOOK AT ME!" Karg finally does, but he's probably looking at The Boobs. Karg grunts as Syd keeps ordering him to looooook at the boooooobs. Vaughn takes some CIA-sanctioned finger cutters and…chops off Karg's index finger. Dayum. Karg falls down onto the carpet, screaming. As you do. Dix picks up the finger with a napkin and hands it to Syd. Vaughn grabs Karg's fingerless hand and wraps it in a towel. As Karg writhes on the ground, Dix leans over with a vial of fake blood and tries to put a fake bullet hole on his forehead. Karg is all, dude? DUDE! What in the HELL are you doing? Dix is all, dude? Sit still, or I will KILL your ass and make this fake murder REAL, aiiight? Karg sits still long enough to get the fake bullet hole, and Syd grabs a Polaroid camera and snaps the proof shot.
Back on the bench, Milos sees the photo and is pleased by Syd's completion of the task. She hands him the finger, and he coos over it as if it's a damn Fabergé egg. He hands her a silver disk and says that she should let her associates know that "this is the last remaining sample." He says they should treat it as if it were sacred and then he leaves, laughing as he goes. Syd tells the troops that she has the package and she's on her way. Cut back to Anna and Nadia. Anna is pulling something out of the Bunsen burner fire. It looks like a branding iron. "This is a gift," she says. "From me, to you, to Sydney." Anna moves over to Nadia and grabs her hair away from her neck. Nadia lamely struggles. "Every time she looks at you, I want her to think of me." Another Random Blond Guy Who Looks Like Will shows up and grabs Nadia so she won't struggle too much. "And one day," Anna continues, "whether you choose to or not, you will help me…destroy her." Anna moves in, brandishing what appears to be an Eye of Rambaldi branding iron. She places it on Nadia's neck and we actually hear the flesh sizzling. Ew.
