The Berrisford Agenda

Alec approaches the Berrisford mansion. Flashback to Alec meeting with Berrisford in his home office. Berrisford offers up a drink and apologizes for drinking in the middle of the day himself, but he has some business problems. Berrisford says that Alec's piano services won't be needed after this week, because he's sending Rachel to stay with her grandparents in New York. Berrisford asks Alec not to mention it to Rachel yet. Alec understands. Berrisford gives a big speech about how nice it must be to be young with no cares, and how everything changes once you have children. Rachel walks in and notes that her lesson is supposed to start. She gives her dad a big hug and kiss.

Cut to Alec talking to Bigwig, who asks if he understands the mission. Alec says that he doesn't know why he has to take out Rachel too. Bigwig says that Alec's job is to follow orders, and if he can't do that, he'll be eliminated himself. There's another '80s movie reference as Bigwig asks if that's clear and Alec Judd-Nelsons, "Crystal."

Back in the present, Alec hops the fence at Berrisford Mansion. Flashback to Alec preparing the car bomb. Cut to Alec placing the car bomb under Berrisford's car and sneaking off while holding the remote detonator. Alec spots Rachel in her room, packing. He flashes back to Rachel saying that she loves him, Berrisford commenting that sometimes the right thing can go so wrong, and Bigwig ordering Alec to take them both out. Alec sneaks up to the house, staring at the detonator in his hand. He hears Berrisford coming out to his car and being greeted by his driver, so Alec hides behind a column. Flashback to kissing in the pool, intercut with Bigwig asking if he understands the assignment. Alec runs into the house, where he meets Rachel coming down the stairs. She asks what he's doing. Alec says that he doesn't have much time, but she needs to leave town with her father right now. Rachel wants to know what's happening. Alec hesitates for a minute, and then confesses that he was sent there to kill her father. He adds, "It was my job. You were my job." Rachel starts crying and then slaps him across the face. Berrisford calls for Rachel, and she runs out to the car screaming. Alec calls after her, but a henchman comes up and starts beating him up. Alec quickly dispatches the henchman and then takes off after Rachel. When he arrives outside, he sees Rachel running to the car, and then the car explodes. But…the detonator? Did Alec push it? A Manticore guy pulls up and tells Alec to get in. And he has a detonator in his hand. Ahh. Quick montage of Alec resisting getting into the car, and then Alec being reprogrammed a la Zack, and then a dazed Alec being thrown in solitary confinement in the basement of Manticore. Kind of makes you wish this was like Oz where the people put in solitary confinement almost always give you full frontal nudity.
