Sloane plans for Syd to talk to Nadia about Vadik, whom she once tracked. Sloane says that Nadia quit Intelligence and returned to Argentina after they found a Rambaldi artifact and handed it over to the US government. In Argentina, Nadia won't return but tells Syd that Vadik's right hand is Tomazaki.

At home, Syd tells Vaughn about Wittenburg - she learned that day that her father had killed her mother, Irina Derevko.

Tomazaki has disappeared. They learn that five years ago he unsuccessfully tried to steal the Shintaro sword from a London museum. Sloane suggests they steal the sword as bait. At Dixon's suggestion, they enlist Marshall. In the museum, Syd triggers the alarms but manages to steal the sword and, with Jack's help, escapes the police.

Later Jack tells Sloane that he didn't tell Syd everything in Wittenburg.

Dixon arranges to sell the Shintaro sword to Tomazaki in Rio de Janiero. Tomazaki's jailed thug tells Jack that Vadik is Tomazaki. At the agreed meeting, Tomazaki kidnaps Syd.
