Rachel and Dix head into the storage facility. Rachel's obviously channeling Syd, because she's dressed to the nines in a knee-length A-line skirt, fitted jacket, patterned stockings, and red suede square-heeled pumps. I have no idea why this is important, but I thought she looked cool, so reporting the coolness seemed appropriate. Dix is pretending to be someone important who's storing something important at this important storage facility. The lackey in charge of storing his important stuff tries to sell him on the Most Secure Wing storage package, but Dix ain't buyin'. He says he doesn't want the most secure wing; he wants the wing they reserve for the people who will come looking for them if anything happens to their stuff. Storage Lackey immediately understands and grabs Dix's important stuff and starts to head off to the They'll Kill You If You Lose It storage wing. Dix opens his cell phone and pretends to realize that his battery is dead and instructs Rachel, his "assistant," to call his wife and tell her that they're running late. Rachel walks over to a phone by a table as Dix and Storage Lackey head off to the They'll Kill You If You Lose It storage wing.
Rachel sits and picks up the phone and plugs the audio coupler onto the base. It beeps, and Rachel puts the phone to her mouth and pretends to talk to Dix's wife. Marshall picks this up and says that the phone link is good and that he's accessing the network. Storage Lackey leads Dix into a locked room as Marshall somehow locates the Desantis files via the network. Rachel hangs up the phone coolly, as if she's done this a thousand times before. Storage Lackey is hard-selling the They'll Kill You If You Lose It storage room, but Dix is totally fine with it, so Storage Lackey sets Dix's precious box down on a shelf at the back and they exit to attend to paperwork. The door closes, and that's when Charlotte gets busy.
A hatch at the side of the box on the shelf opens up and Charlotte exits. She is wicked cool, y'all. And Marshall's controlling her from the Apple Van. She scoots around and, I have to say, I found myself kind of loving this little 'bot. I want one of my own! Or maybe I just want a puppy. Or a kitten. I may have issues. At any rate, Charlotte's scooting around, Marshall's controlling her, and I loved this whole scene. As Marshall's manning Charlotte, Dix and Rachel enter the van and observe. Marshall maneuvers Charlotte over to the spot where Desantis's files are supposedly located and he hits a button. Gold! It's the Desantis files. Dix tells Marshall to scan the rest of the documents and relay them to the Apple Store.
