The Awful Truth

In Nassau, The Bahamas, Syd and Marshall arrive incognito at a bank under
the pretense of creating an account while Vaughn and Dixon create a
diversion. When the manager leaves momentarily, Syd and Marshall access an account.

Back in LA, Weiss and Nadia - who's now living with Syd, hit it off at a
party Syd hosts. Jack crashes the party, says her Bahamas mission paid
off, they have info on Bishop, owner of the account, and Valta. He wants
to know if she told Nadia that he killed Irinia. Syd hasn't but thinks it
best if she does.

Sloane says Valta, a computer that will revolutionize info gathering from
satellite networks, was stolen from the NSA headquarters 10 days prior by
Martin Bishop, who will be deliver it to a German terrorist group. Bishop,
a British ex-pat living in Spain, awaits final payment before delivering
Valta. The team must recover or destroy the computer.

They determine that Valta's whereabouts are stored on a powerful server on
Bishop's estate in Andalusia, Spain, and they can only hack into it from
the inside. Once in Spain, the team sets a trap for Bishop using Syd as
bait - she portrays a mysterious woman caught in an overturned car. Bishop
rescues her and invites him to her home. He tells her not to wander the grounds.

Jack administers a psych test to Nadia. He tells Sloane that he's learned
enough to deal with the problem.

With Vaughn monitoring the situation, Syd sneaks away and finds the server
in the basement. She determines that Valta is located at Malaga's Alameda
Yards in container C0717. Bishop's suspicion is raised when he runs into
Syd as she returns to her room. Sloane sends a team to Malaga to find
Valta and tells Jack that Syd may be in trouble.

At Alameda Yards, a CIA team destroys Valta, but Weiss is captured. Bishop
is informed of the raid and learns that someone accessed his server. An
alarmed Syd signals for help, and Vaughn and Dixon go in only to find the
house empty. Marshall tracks Bishop by his cell phone signal.

Jack tells Nadia he doesn't blame her for Irina's infidelity and hands her
classified documents before they are dispatched to Spain, where they
liaison with Vaughn. Bishop holds both Weiss and Syd captive. Bishop hopes
to off them up to the terrorist group as a replacement for the computer.
Syd breaks free of the ropes and beats the guard -- Weiss now realizes
she's black ops. They go after bishop. Vaughn meets up with Weiss. Syd
trails Bishop, jumps on top of his car and shoots him through the roof. He
slams the breaks and she tumbles off. He's about to shoot her when he is
killed by Nadia, who a pumps a few extra rounds into him. She says he was
the one who killed Irina, their mother - Jack lied to her!

Later, Jack admits to Syd that he adjusted details in the documents to
manipulate Nadia and give her closure. He says a satisfying lie can do
more good than the awful truth.
