Syd says that she's going to ask Gordo some questions and when he answers, no one is going to hurt him. No one. "They want my eyes," is all he responds. "Don't let them take my eyes." Gordo starts to cry, and oddly, I feel for him. I've hated him from the moment I saw him, but I always knew he was sort of a foot soldier and in this instance, when he's so vulnerable, I realized just how expendable he truly is. And that? Is kind of sad. Syd assures him that nothing will happen to him as long as she's there. And then she asks him about the access card. "It was designed to patch into a specific network," she says. "Tell me which one." Gordo hesitates. "Which network does the card access?" she asks again. "I can help you," says Gordo. "When you see the watchman, you'll need me. I can help you."
"Listen to me," says Syd. "You need to focus. How do I get into your organization's network?" Suddenly, Gordo isn't having any of it. "Get away from me!" he shouts. Syd tries to shush him. "It's your fault!" he says. "I needed to find the secret! I needed protection!" "I'm protecting you now!" says Syd. "Tell me the secret! I'll keep it safe." "The watchman is on the roof," says Gordo. "You need to go to the roof." Syd asks which roof. Gordo tells her "Glenheim." In the observation room, Marshall brings up a Glenheim Towers in Seattle, Washington on his computer screen. Jack orders him to find the building's schematics, and he does; there's a satellite on the roof. Jack turns to Rachel and says they need a plane fueled and ready to fly to Seattle within the hour. Rachel bolts. Jack gets a phone call. All he says in response is, "When?"
Back with Gordo and Syd, Gordo's crying. "I shouldn't have done it," he sobs. "I didn't mean to. They insisted." "You didn't want to do what?" asks Syd. "They insisted [I] kill Michael Vaughn." Syd looks at him with steel in her eyes. "I can help you defeat them," says Gordo, "but you have to hurry. They have plans for you." "What plans?" asks Syd. Just then, Jack enters and tells Syd that she needs to go, that he'll take over from here. Syd, knowing she's close to a breakthrough with Gordo, is like, uh, dude? I'm kinda in the middle of something here. "It's Nadia," Jack says.
