Weiss shouts at Bishop that he's a son of a bitch, which he is, and Bishop just points a gun at him. He shoots and the bullet skims the top of Weiss's shoulder. Bishop vows that the next one is going between his eyes. The phone on one of the henchmen rings and he picks up. The Ballyhootenannys have called. Bishop grabs the phone and goes to deal with the call, instructing the henchman to shoot Syd or Weiss in the kneecaps if they get out of line. Syd gives Weiss a look and he totally gets it. Syd uses the laser watch (that somehow has magically returned to her wrist) to work on her bindings as Weiss fakes a heart attack. The henchman walks over, totally ignoring Bishop's rule about the whole kneecap-shooting thing, and checks on Weiss. ["Second time this week that trick worked on gullible guards. Smarten up, TV henchmen, damn." -- Sars] Weiss kicks the baddie in the balls and Syd frees herself at the same time.
And then they fight.
Syd finishes the fight with a great roundhouse floor kick to the head and moves over to release Weiss. He's all, uh, dude? I thought you weren't with the agency anymore. Syd's all, yeah, I'll, uh, I'll tell you later, dude. Thanks for the distraction. Weiss is all, no problem. Oh, and thanks for saving my life. Weiss picks up the baddie's dropped gun and Syd finds another gun on the guy as Weiss suddenly wakes up and realizes that this whole thing is black ops and is Vaughn part of this too? Syd's all, dude? Now is not the time for talking! Now is the time for running! Weiss finally gets with the program and they run off.
Outside, the rest of the Appleseed Gang arrives. They spill out of the van, guns drawn. Somewhere else on the Campus of International Killers, Bishop's trying to explain his way out of the bad situation with the Binglingbrothersbarnumandbaileycircus. He looks distinctly nervous. In fact, he looks way too nervous for a man who killed his wife in cold blood, but, you know, whatever. He tells them that he doesn't have the Valta, but he has two CIA agents and isn't that a fair exchange? The Billyraycyruses aren't biting, however, and they declare that Bishop is a dead man. Just then, Syd and Weiss come shooting around the corner. And I mean that literally. Bishop returns their fire. Another baddie shows up and starts shooting too. Weiss goes after him as Syd goes after Bishop.
