Moscow. Edward is perched on a high vantage point in a warehouse window, all sniper'd out. He confirms to his comms that the target (Uzi) is in range, and we learn that his callsign is -- hee! -- Avenger. Love it. [I prefer "Hard Harry." - Zach] A bunch of Russian thugs get out of limos on the ground, and he says he has a clear shot, but whoever's in the van tells him to hold off on taking the shot for some reason, and -- oh, no! Henry showed up! Brain chip technology! It's worse than Vista! Henry is understandably very freaked out that a second ago he was going to Albany to do something boring and now he's poised to assassinate some Russians he's never seen before in his life. In his confusion he accidentally misfires a couple times, and the Russians start shooting back. Henry runs. I am scared!
He doesn't get very far before one of the thugs finds him and shoots him in the bullet-proof-vested chest twice, which knocks him out (is that possible? I honestly don't know), and we're at our first commercial break. I am still scared!
Back from commercial! The thugs are dunking Henry's head in the toilet! Rude. Uzi thinks this brand of torture is a little 8th grade, and punishes his men by forcing them to almost shoot each other. It's complicated, but it basically boils down to a scare tactic. Uzi then gets to questioning Edward, except this is Henry, who is terrified and obviously doesn't know anything. Uzi is really pissed off, thinking that Edward is yanking his chain. He puts on a plastic raincoat to shield him from the rivers of blood he is about to drain from Henry with a butcher knife, when a lil' roach trap-looking thing slides under the door. Uzi wisely deems it to be a bomb, and dives into the other room with his men, leaving Henry to sizzle. The device seemingly malfunctions, and Uzi laughs over to Henry, "Lucky bas--" when the room he's in explodes. Ahh, the old roach trap-looking explosives bait and switch! Maxwell Smart fell for it every time.
