Ahem. I'm back. And Syd's up to no good. She comes up to an SUV and pulls out a spray can. Looks like she's working on that whole "get yourself arrested" plan, huh? She starts to spray-paint "OIL IS" on the side of the car, and I can only imagine that the final word will be "BAD" or something similar. Weiss runs up and starts yelling at her in really awful French. Hee. Syd turns around and goes, "YOU," and points at him. Hee. Weiss calls over a policeman and starts explaining in his horrible French that Syd's done something to his car. Instead of arresting Weiss for impersonating a French citizen really, really badly, the policeman just asks what's going on and Weiss continues to yell at him. Syd hilariously mocks Weiss's French guy, going, "Ah poo la la!" and "Blah boooh lie blah!" It's awesome. "Juuuu nuuuu coooompraaawwwn paaas!" Syd says, making goofy faces at the men. Hee. Finally, she grabs the cop's club and smashes out the passenger window of the SUV. Everyone freaks and the cop arrests Syd while she tries to suppress a grin and a giggle. That scene was the most fun I've had while watching this show in quite some time. Hee.
After the break, we're treated to what might be The Shortest Alias Scene Ever. Syd's parked in a police station, acting like a snotty American. She's very good at it. Dixon enters and starts talking to Syd in this totally silly "white" voice. It's all nasally and "You put a banana in the tailpipe," like, Eddie Murphy circa Beverly Hills Cop. Heh. There's a cop in the room, so Syd and Dix act like Dix is her Embassy-assigned attorney and he's there to get her out of jail. Elsewhere in the city, Nadia does something on a laptop and tells Dixon that they're now looping the feed on the CCTV in this room, so the next move is on his call. Dix points a pen at the cop by the door and shoots a dart into his neck. Heh. The cop dropped, Dix hands Syd the CD burner and she runs out the door.
Syd checks in with Nadia and heads to the evidence storage room. She easily picks the lock and hides as a couple of cops head her way. The disk is in Plot 430. Syd burns a hole in the gate door and makes sure to turn her back to the CCTV camera in this room so that Nadia can't see what she's doing. She palms the disk and hides it, claiming to Nadia that the disk isn't in that storage unit, and says she's going to check the other units. Then she moves out of range of the camera and quickly burns the disk, making a copy. As she's doing this, a guard shows up for absolutely no reason and Nadia warns Syd to get the hell out of there. Syd finishes burning the disk, tells Nadia she found the decoder, and then kicks the shit out of the guard. She doesn't do her usual stellar job of ass-kicking, however, because the guy just gets on his walkie-talkie or whatever and informs the troops that they have a prisoner on the loose. Nadia tells Dix to abort and move to Plan B and then tells Syd to head to the roof immediately, which she does. Running, running, running. Guards, shooting, running. Syd gets up onto the roof. More running. Suddenly, a black 'copter appears and Syd…jumps off the roof and grabs onto one of the landing skids. Weiss, who's at the controls, smoothly flies her off in the direction of the Eiffel Tower as the cops ineffectually watch her get away. Hee. Awesome. Totally awesome.
Also? Totally short. The whole thing was four minutes from beginning to end. The hell? I mean, yay! Makes my job easier but…the hell?
