As they walk there, he tells her that Vaughn's coming along nicely and healing well. He opens his trunk and a car passes by. SydAnna suddenly sticks her stiletto into the back of his neck and he dies instantly. Another guy in a knit cap shows up and drags Nabin off to his car and tosses him into the back. SydAnna tells her man about Vaughn being alive and being the contact Syd's about to meet and then she instructs him to meet Sydney and answer to the name of Nabin and wear the red scarf at his waist. She hightails it out of sight, and FakeNabin goes to greet the real Syd.
Marshall's Garage of Geekiness. Marsh is on the phone, attempting to order baby stuff for Mitchell. There's a lot of hissing and clicking on the line. Of course, Marshall being Marshall, this raises his Geek Alarm. Minutes later, he's running down the hall to Jack's office. "Marshall?" says Jack. "WE'RE OUT OF COFFEE!" spits Marshall. "Coffee?" says Jack. "Yeah -- I -- think -- uh," Marshall stutters. He looks around for a pen and paper but doesn't find any, so he then GRABS the pen out of Jack's HAND, which is awesome because NO ONE touches Jack's pen! Marshall continues to sputter about coffee and tea and decaf as he makes the international hand gesture for "Give me something to write on you toolbox!" at Jack. Hee! Jack just hands him a pad of paper and Marshall scrawls something on it and shows it to him.
The next thing we see is Jack and Marshall down in the parking garage, discussing the fact that the phone lines are deeply bugged. Apparently, Sloane logged onto the network and put the entire phone system on some passive surveillance mode. Jack's amazed, as am I, that Sloane managed to access their system, seeing as his access codes were all revoked. Marshall just says that Sloane set up the system in the first place, so he must have installed some sort of back door in the network. The gist of the situation is that Sloane and P5 have been able to consistently monitor every conversation taking place inside APO since God knows when. "We need to inform Sydney immediately," says Jack. Oh ho YEAH ya do.
Nepahutan. Syd's in the car with FakeNabin. She gets a call on her cell. It's Jack. He tells her to listen to him very carefully and then he informs her of the security breach. He tells her that they have reason to believe she's been compromised. She shoots a glance at FakeNabin and then fakes a sign-off to her dad. They come upon a man next to his broken-down truck and Syd tells FakeNabin not to stop. He says they should. Syd says that they shouldn't, only she says it with her elbow to his face. The truck careens around as the guy in front of the other truck starts shooting at them. FakeNabin takes a bullet in the head and Syd grabs the wheel, pulling the truck around so that she can shoot at the other guy while evading his bullets. The truck goes engine over trunk into a ditch on the side of the road.
