Conference Room of Endless Expositions. Sloane's informing the troops of the Sloane Clone situation. The task is simple: Find the guy and nab him. "Assuming he exists at all," says Vaughn, you know, OUT LOUD. Like, dude? You're not making any friends here. Sloane asks how it went with Omar, and Dix informs him that Omar knew very little about the organization he worked for. Syd suggests that they give Omar the coil and put him into play, in order to bring Sloane Clone to the surface. "He makes the exchange," says Syd, "and we track the coil back to Arvin Clone." HEE. The whole table stops and is like, "HA! ARVIN CLONE! HA HA HA!" Sloane grimaces, Marshall giggles, Weiss snickers, Syd apologizes. "Sorry," she says to Sloane. "That's what we've been calling him." "Yeah," zips Weiss, "also, 'Marvin Sloane,' 'Rolling Sloanes'…" Hee. By now, he and Marshall are yucking it up, until Marshall quickly realizes that they're the only ones at the table finding ANY humor in this. Marshall brings the giggles to a halt.
Sloane declares that they need to persuade Omar to do their dirty work. Marshall pipes up that they all know the coil is a key component in the Rambaldi design, and therefore Sloane shouldn't be involved in this assignment at all. Sloane just grits that this mission is about proving his innocence, so why don't you take your earnestly geeky do-gooder ASS back to your garage of geekdom and do your goddamn JOB, okay? Sloane goes on to task Syd and Dix with the persuasion of Omar. Everyone moves out.
Random Room of Double-Crossings. Syd and Dix are doing their best to convince Omar to head back into the field with the coil. Omar's not stupid, however, and he doesn't see how voluntarily tangling with a sicko like Sloane Clone would be a good idea. Dix steps up and says that Omar better play ball with them or he'll spend the rest of his life in prison. "I'll be safer in prison," snaps Omar. Amen to that, brother. Syd tells Omar that they'll clear his record and put him in witness protection. Dix says they'll relocate him to someplace safe. "Someplace safe?" muses Omar. "What, like Mars?" Heh. Omar finally agrees to help and says that he usually deals with Sloane Clone's second-in-command, Bad Baldy. He picks up the phone and makes a call. In the Torture Chamber of Wayward Professors, Bad Baldy's cell phone rings, but he's too busy sanding off Sinclair's fingertips to pay it any mind.
I like me some Ice Cube, but did there really need to be a sequel to Triple X?
