Sydney's still going after Khasinau. A bunch of CIA agents make it up to the rooftop in pursuit of the shooter, only to find that Spy Mommy has rigged up a gun with some twine and a screwdriver (who knew that the screwdriver would come into play as the most useful of tools?) to continuously shoot off bullets. Meanwhile, down in another warehouse designed strictly for the purpose of shootouts and showdowns, Sydney intercepts Khasinau's break for it with her gun and a heartfelt, "Freeze!"
Khasinau comes to a halt and looks far less out of breath than a man his age has any right to. Syd orders him to drop the case and get down to his knees. He smiles and turns,obliging her. But not for long. As soon as she's close, he drops her with a swift roundhouse kick. And, for those of you not making active use of your pause button, it is readily apparent that the actor portraying Khasinau is NOT the same actor participating in the fight scenes. Thought you'd like to know that.
Syd's on the ground, her gun far, far away, and Khasinau's on top of her, digging his knuckles into her bullet wound. Syd manages a hefty kick and a couple of wicked slicing moves and it's pretty clear that Jennifer Garner's laying truth to the claims that she does most of her own stunt work. The girl looks GOOD. She kicks the shit out of Khasinau and grabs her gun, only to be stopped by a female voice behind her, demanding that she drop the gun.
Yes, it's Spy Mommy, back again, sporting her very own set of wicked-cool ebony action duds. Syd drops her gun as Khasinau stands up. Syd turns slowly, facing her mother. There's a moment when Spy Mommy looks at Sydney and we're all supposed to think she's going to shoot her but, really, it's Jennifer Garner's show so, not likely, ya know? Anyway, Spy Mommy takes aim, shoots, Syd's surprised she's not hit, she turns and, yep, Khasinau's a dead man.
"Hands behind your head," commands Spy Mommy. "Get on your knees." Syd quickly complies, as would we all, especially if the commands were coming from hotter-than-the-earth's-core Lena Olin. Spy Mommy orders Syd to put her head to the ground and Syd's pretty much convinced she's going to be executed. But Spy Mommy just picks up the case, says, "Truth takes time," and vanishes.
Back in Hell-Lay, Syd's making an off-couch visit to Dr. Nancy. She's crying, so of course Dr. Nancy invites her in. I'm thinking that Syd's going to announce that Agent Sean is dead but, no, she just wants to talk about Auntie Em's funeral.
