We go immediately to the low-security unit and see Nerdy McSpyBoy creeping along somewhere. He plants one of his little humming bombs onto something. Outside, Elena walks up to a security guard and asks him directions. Inside at the security desk, the remaining guards keep an eye on the action outside. When it becomes clear that it's just some Spanish chick asking directions, they lose interest. We switch back to Weiss just as he's saying, uh, dude? No one authorized ANYTHING to be moved, okay? Marshall's all, uh, did I stutter? The order came through our secure network. Back with Nerdy, he hits a button and the bomb blows up and all the security camera monitors go to fuzz. Outside with Elena, she's feigning confusing at the guard's directions, and while he's looking the other way, she stabs him in the gut and drags him off behind a stone monolith. Then she heads inside and shoots both the guards dead. Man. She really is the worst Derevko.
Weiss gets on the horn to the low-security unit, and duh, no one answers because they're all dead. Elsewhere in the halls of the unit, Elena shoots another guard dead. Nadia and Weiss run off to the unit. Elena and Nerdy gain access to the room where the Hydrosec is. He looks at the safe where it's being held and seems to doubt that the double-folded titanium can be broken into. Elena just observes that they can cut through it. I have no idea how, but she seems to think so, and she's the one with all the weapons, so I'd be getting out the laser cutters right about now, Nerdy. He pulls out his blowtorch and gets to work. At that same moment, Nadia and Weiss scramble in and check the pulses of the fallen guards. Nope. Dead. Back at the safe, Nerdy's broken into the safe. "Done," he says. Elena walks over, pulls out the case, and opens it. There it is. The Hydrosec. Nerdy smiles. Remember how it feels to smile, there, Nerdy McSoonToBeDead. I don't think there's a whole lot of smiling going in Hades, buddy.
Weiss and Nadia continue running across more dead bodies. They make it to the safe room and run inside. There they find the broken-into safe and…the dead body of Nerdy McSorryToSeeYouGo. Nadia rightly observes that it's the guy from Vienna. "What the hell happened here?" asks Weiss. Well, judging by the empty safe and the nasty gash across Nerdy's throat, I'd say that someone stole the Hydrosec and offed her henchman. But that's just my wacky theory. Feel free to ignore it.
Apple Store. Hallway of Red Elevators. Syd and Dr. Liddell slo-mo their way down the hall. They walk right into Sloane, who says, "Atticus, it's so good of you to come." "After what Jack did for me…" says Liddell. "Sydney will show you the infirmary," continues Sloane. "If there's anything you need --" "I'd like to see my patient," snaps Liddell, and immediately, I love the guy. Syd escorts the doctor to the infirmary. Inside, Jack's peacefully sleeping. Syd puts her hand on his and gently tries to wake him up. His eyes flutter open. "Dad? A friend is here to see you," she says, stepping aside. "Hello, Jack," says the doctor. "Am I cured?" asks Jack. "Not yet," says the doctor, "but I'm going to make you better." Syd and Jack share a compassionate look and…scene.
