Rachel makes her way to her assignment and tells Dix her location. He tells her that he's going to need "item number two," and she pulls out a lipstick, puts some on, then passes it to him behind his back as she walks by. Back with Getty, he quickly clears Rachel's passage to the Echelon server room. He tells Jack that Rachel's good to go, and that his work is done. Jack tells him to meet them at the rendezvous point, but instead of leaving, Getty gets back on the computer and unlocks the doors to the witness relocation record room. Wha?
Getty heads to the record room, almost running into Rachel on the way there. Once inside, he sits at a computer and goes to work. Rachel makes it to the Echelon room which, while unlocked, still has guards outside. Rachel tells this to Jack and Jack tells Dixon and Marshall that they're up. The tour guide has brought them to a large sculpture that's actually a code and Marshall geekily exclaims, "I got it!" Then he walks up and begins to describe how he's solved the code. While all eyes are on him, Dix sprays something from Rachel's lipstick tube up at a sensor. In the security room, a big "Anthrax" warning goes off and the guards jump into action, setting off an alarm. Marshall pretends to freak out, and Dix steps up. "Take it down a notch, Hamlet," he whispers. Hee.
The building begins evacuating as Rachel enters the Echelon room. Jack gives her the server number where Syd's transmission is stored. Meanwhile, Getty looks up a file with a picture of a dead woman in it. He brings up a picture of the suspect, a guy named Allen Korman, and tries to find out where he's currently located. A request for an encryption key comes up, and Getty shoves a little USB-type-looking thing into the keyboard. Rachel finds the server and discovers that the archive has been purged. The only way to possibly find Syd's message on the server is to remove the hard drive, but that's patched to the security system, so if Rachel removes it, the alarm goes off. Jack orders her to pull the hard drive. Sloane pipes up that they'll never be able to get her out. Jack just snaps that Rachel should pull the drive, and he'll be sure to get her out. Rachel pulls it and, sure enough, the alarms start going off. Rachel goes to the door and it's locked. Getty discovers his door is locked as well. Looks like Langley's in full lockdown.
"A lockdown?" a male voice snaps into his phone. "Thirty seconds ago I got a call about an evacuation due to an anthrax attack." The man steps into the light, and it's none other than Agent Sean! Hi, Agent Sean! Agent Sean is ripping someone a new asshole on the other end of his cell phone. He gets off and turns to the guy to his right, stating that he can't believe it, but he's going to have to cancel his Pilates class. Again. Hee! His phone rings and it's Jack, telling Weiss that Sydney's in trouble and he needs Weiss's help. Weiss barely even hesitates. "Yeah, yeah, yeah. Whatever you need." Aw. Boyfriend Weiss! So helpful in a pinch!
