Sloane doesn't give a damn how hard FAPSY is to break into; he's sending Syd in to retrieve the map anyway. Spy Daddy's thinking ahead, however, and he had the CIA make a bogus map. Syd's supposed to go to Moscow, nab the real map, and hand it over to the CIA. He finishes by telling her that she's supposed to give the bogus map to SD-6. The bogus map will lead SD-6 to the middle of the Sunken Forest. Okay, that TOTALLY sounds like a made-up name for a place. It isn't, of course, because yeah, I'm a freakshow and I looked it up. It's in Madagascar. But it still SOUNDS like a fairy tale name right out of a C.S. Lewis book.
Syd smells a rat. "Why have you come to me like this?" she says suspiciously. "Before my SD-6 briefing? You giving me the CIA counter-mission instead of Vaughn --" Spy Daddy's all, because this is the best way to respond to the -- Syd's all, uh, NO! I totally know what this is all about! You don't want me to take this to Mom, do you? Spy Daddy's all, you have the info you need. Syd's all, we don't know that! Spy Daddy's all, our system works! Now go to your room before I shoot you! Syd's all, yeah? How 'bout a do a little karate on your ass, old man? And the "system"? Yeah, it BLEW ASS before Mom showed up. So, yeah, okay, the woman betrayed us. The difference between you and me is, I'm willing to squeeze every last drop of information out of that woman in order to take down the enemy. "Anything to get me the hell out of this life as soon as possible," she finishes. "Anything."
Non-Narcotics Anonymous. "Hi. I'm Will. And I'm a really cute addict." "Hi, Will!" Will gives his inaugural addict speech. He mainly says that he never really thought about his rep as a writer until he lost it and that, since it happened so publicly, people stare and point at him in the market. Yeah. People stare and point at me in the market, too. But that's probably because I wear bunny slippers and a flak suit while I'm picking up Kraft Macaroni and Cheese.
There's a cute addict girl watching Will from across the room as he gives his speech. He winds it up by saying something positive about how Sydney, whom he doesn't name, and he have developed a stronger relationship since he's had to go through this ordeal. Later, at The Coffee Urn Of Former Cokeheads And Crackfaces, Cute Addict Girl sidles up to Will and starts sweet-talking him with her drug stories. They introduce themselves, and Cute Addict Girl mentions that she read his article on SD-6 and she thinks it's true and Will was never a drug addict. Basically, this bitch works for SD-6 and she's trying to entrap Will into divulging the truth about Sloane and his Merry Band Of Marauders. Will doesn't take the bait, however, and Cute Addict Girl just slips him her card and walks off.
