Or he would have said that if Agent Sean hadn't rudely interrupted him by entering the room and saying, "What is this, the flirting corner?" Heh. Heh heh. I love Agent Sean. Especially since he's cheated death and has no time for ANYONE. Vaughn's all, yeah, we're talkin' here! Agent Sean's all, yeah, figured that part out for myself, dude. "Uh, there's a meeting? National security, remember that? It's important...for the people?" "We'll be right there," says Syd. Agent Sean leaves with an expression on his face that suggests, "Yeah, they'll be right there. AFTER THEY FINALLY DO IT." Syd looks at Vaughn. Vaughn looks at Syd. They share a mutually chagrined series of smiles and then exit The Flirting Corner
A couple minutes later, Syd, Vaughn, Jack, and Agent Sean are all hanging out in some meeting room somewhere, along with all of Agent Jones's newbie extras. Kendall's giving the cheap seats a good show with his expository tale of SD-6 and the Alliance. Now, for those of you who have been watching this show since its Run Lola Run-inspired pilot, I ain't gonna regurgitate the history for you. You know what's up. And for those of you who don't know what the deal is with the Alliance and SD-6 and Syd and Jack, well, there is a whole library of recaps for you to read, so get clicking.
The only important nugget of information to be gleaned from Kendall's exposition dance is that Uncle Arvin has been replaced by someone named Geiger. Or, to be more precise, Ron Rifkin has been replaced by Rutger Hauer. Yum. Syd looks flabbergasted. She's all, uh, excuse me? Uncle Arvin's been replaced? Kendall's all, uh, yeah! Get with the program, girl! Uncle Arvin's been MIA for five days. "With Sloane gone and Geiger coming in, we no longer have access to their inner circle. So, Sydney and Jack, your assignment is to get close to Geiger, earn his trust, get back in that inner circle. That's it."
Everyone disperses. Syd turns to her dad. "Dad, the one person I want brought to justice...he's disappeared." Jack just looks at his daughter. "I've been doing this a long time, Sydney. There's rarely an end to the story." He gets up and touches her shoulder gently. Aw. He's being a daddy. I love it when he does that.
Ess Dee Sex. Or as the captions would have it, "SD-6 Headquarters." Syd enters and makes her way over to her desk. She sees Rutger Hauer, or, as he will always be known to me, "Roy Batty," hanging out in Uncle Arvin's office, making use of the phone. Dixon, standing behind Syd, says, "I don't like it. Whatever's happening here." Neither do we, Dix. Neither do we.
Then Syd's walking into Roy Batty's office. She's all, Roy Batty? Syd Bristow. Whassup an' shit? He smiles at her pleasantly, and I'm reminded of how most of the people from the Netherlands age remarkably well. I know that many of you out there thought that Rutger looked craggy and cracked but, like, I tend to like my men craggy and cracked, so Rutger's looking pretty damn good to me right about now. Of course, if he's still a natural blond, then I'm actually a twelve-year-old boy but, whatever.
