Outside the house, a car pulls up. Syd and Vaughn get out. In the panic room, Viadro's tied to a chair. Moronen's sticking him with what I presume is truth serum, otherwise known as sodium pentothal. "Where is The Passenger?" asks Moronen. Viadro doesn't answer. "I said, WHERE IS THE PASSENGER?" "She…she is safe," is all Viadro answers. Syd and Vaughn enter the open door with their guns drawn. They see the broken vase and proceed cautiously through the house. Suddenly, Syd goes, "Vaughn." Vaughn joins Syd as she's looking at a vase. "Rambaldi," says Syd. Sure enough, on the vase is the symbol of Rambaldi followers. And if you need me to explain what that is, then you really shouldn't be watching this show or reading this recap. Especially if you're not drunk.
Vaughn says he'll go check upstairs. Syd looks off into the distance in search of a future plotline that involves killing Moronen. Back in the panic room, Moronen decides that stabbing Viadro in his right hand will elicit the information she's seeking. He screams, but nothing is heard outside the walls of the room. Vaughn certainly doesn't hear anything as he lopes up the stairs. Downstairs, Syd continues carefully walking through the rooms. Just then, a car pulls up outside with a bunch of bad guys. Well, they're wearing dark glasses, so they must be bad guys. They get out with submachine guns and enter the house.
Inside the house, Syd still continues to carefully walk around. That is, until one of the bad guys enters and starts shooting the shit outta the place. One of the bad guys heads up the stairs and starts shooting at Vaughn. Vaughn takes him out with two shots. He kills him, people. I think the balls are making a comeback. Syd turns a corner and gets into it with one of the baddies. There's punching and kicking and Baddie floors Syd with an ankle kick. He has her down on the ground, his right hand on her throat, his left hand on her right arm. Syd looks over and sees the symbol on his hand. They're not Covenant. They're Order of Rambaldi. Which is kind of like the Templars, but with less money. And a lot more freaks, apparently.
Upstairs, Vaughn makes it into the room with the panic room. He looks around, sees the hidden door and the panel. Back downstairs, Syd delivers a couple of floor-driven roundhouse kicks to Baddie. Upstairs, Vaughn easily pulls off the face of the code panel (heh). Inside the panic room, Viadro grunts in pain as Moronen taunts him. As Vaughn works the panel, something sparks on one of the security screens in the background. Moronen sees her husband doing his damnedest to get inside. She also sees Sydney downstairs with the Baddie. Her inner monologue? OH, SHIT. Her actual dialogue? "Damn it!" She turns to Viadro and grabs his ear, moving as if to slice it off with her knife. "Tell me what I need to know!" "I'll tell you!" sputters Viadro.
