The Russian Job

Winston sets up computers in a hotel room, so I guess the whole gang rushed across the country as soon as the phone rang. Chance plans to go into the Russian Embassy just like Danny was planning to. Winston points out that Danny knew what he was looking for, but Chance is not deterred. Guerrero enters to report that he can't break into the embassy, but he's promptly distracted by the prospect of decoding Danny's notes. Chance points out that some guy named Alexei Volkoff shows up all over Danny's notes (the ones they haven't decrypted yet, so it's good that they have pictures). Winston and Chance take an Exposition Sidebar so Chance can tell us that Danny did something for him in Kosovo. Winston doesn't want to invade Russian soil (that's the embassy) but Chance doesn't care. Danny's killer is going to be there today, and he's going to go in and get him. Do it for Danny!

During the commercial break, Windows 7 explains the plot of this show. Man, I hope they do that for Lost, too.

Russian Embassy. A lot of limos. Chance has a tux, so he fits right in. This time, he remembers to touch his ear when he talks remotely to Winston, but we can clearly see that there's nothing in his ear. He tries to get in as Danny's cover (C.C. Baxter), even though he doesn't have the photo ID. We learn that Alexei Volkoff is Chief of Security. We also learn that Winston doesn't mind chatting away in Chance's ear while he's in the middle of highly dangerous infiltration jobs. Chance is met by Peter Blanchard, the State Department liaison. Chance has him call the Secretary of Defense, who backs up Chance's claim, although he gives him a stern lecture first. Aaron looks croggled, so Winston explains that "He wasn't always the Secretary of Defense." Oh, well then! Volkoff has been standing by looking ominous for most of this time, but he wanders away when the Secretary verifies Chance's identity. A woman comes up to Chance and tells him that his (Mr. Baxter's) guest has already arrived.

Back at base, Guerrero claims that it's "a simple Beaufort-Null cipher," which does not stop Winston from trying to backseat-codebreak. Guerrero was a boy scout, which makes Winston shudder. There are a lot of antidotes listed, but none of them worked. Meanwhile, Aaron's nose is bleeding. Ticking clock! Guerrero takes off to trace Aaron's steps. Anyway, they think that the codename for the spy who killed Danny is "Raven." In the Russian Embassy, the party is in full swing and Chance is ready to work on Volkoff. He also pulls a pin from under a table, which will hopefully collapse and distract people.
