Syd turns back to the mirror and suddenly she sees herself in the reflection and her head is in some sort of hypno chamber or something and she has a bunch of sensors stuck to her. Then we get a Syd POV shot where she blurrily looks around the room that she's actually in. She tries moving her hands, but she's strapped to whatever this machine is. "Who are you?" she asks some guy in a white coat who's manning several computers. He hushes her and tells her to sit still. "We almost have what we need," he says, filling a syringe with fluid. "We just need to go a little further." Syd asks what he's doing to her, and he says he's trying to help her relax. Syd asks why and what he wants from her. "I just need to find a vein," he says.
Before he can, a distorted voice from behind a two-way mirror breaks in over an intercom. "Stop," it says. "Are you sure this won't harm the baby?" The doctor, who's played by Michael Massee, says that he's sure and that if Disembodied Voice wants its answer, it's going to have to let Massee do his job. If you don't know who Michael Massee is, by the way, then you won't understand why, the minute I saw him onscreen, I knew he was a bad guy and working for the wrong side. Dude was "Funboy," y'all. He's a bad, bad seed. Also? Kind of hot in a wrong sort of way. What? I have funny taste in men. Syd asks who's behind the two-way mirror but Dr. Funboy doesn't answer her. "If you hurt my baby," Syd says as the doc sticks her in the vein with his relaxation serum, "I swear to you, I will kill you."
We switch to San Francisco, two days earlier. Yeah, the "XX days/hours earlier" device is my least favorite and the most overused on this show, but this is the final season, so I suppose I can let it pass, you know? Anyway, Peyton's hanging out at a noodle stand left over from the set of Blade Runner. She has her eye on a door in the distance, and the second some guy exits the door, Peyton leaves the noodle stand and runs after him. She tails him for a bit and finally lunges at him and blabbles some story at him about how she's supposed to meet friends in the Mission District but she can't find a cab because nobody here speaks English because apparently, in San Francisco's Chinatown, it's customary for NO ONE to be speak the language of the country in which they now live.
Peyton asks him what time it is and before he can tell her, she stabs him in the gut and steals his watch. She's a naughty little minx, isn't she? She puts the watch on her own wrist and enters the building the dead man just left. She heads down a hallway and accesses a secret panel that opens the red door at the end of the hall. Peyton enters the room behind the door and there's a guy across the way, sitting at a computer. He doesn't turn around, so he thinks Peyton is the agent she just killed. She accesses the dead guy's computer, does a search for "Agent Michael Vaughn," finds the server she's looking for, and slinks off to nab it. Meanwhile, the other agent is finally curious as to why his agent buddy is being so silent, so he heads off to follow Peyton.
