When Sydney is sent to Havana to make contact with a man offering to give her details about the 'Third Faction' she has little idea just how badly it will turn out. The meeting appears to go well and she gets the information that leads Dixon to a computer hard drive. Afterwards however she is captured along with her contact; he is promptly executed but she is destined for a far worse fate
she is buried alive. Meanwhile back at APO Dixon hands over the hard drive to one of the technical staff but as soon as he tries to access it a deadly toxin is released, this forces APO to go into lock down. The only member of the team outside is Marshall, this means he must get to Havana, track Sydney's phone signal and dig her up before her air runs out. If that wasn't enough once he has got her out they learn that the man responsible has a lot more of the toxin so the two of them must go to Berlin to retrieve the data off the real hard drive. As he has seen Sydney this means Marshall will have to bluff his way into the man's office and keep him talking long enough to clone his computer. Of course it isn't quite that simple and Marshall is forced to do some fairly serious things with a spork before their inevitable success!
This was a great episode with gave Marshall a chance to get out of the office and be the hero for once. Kevin Weisman does a great job in the role. It also made an interesting change to see Sydney genuinely terrified; usually she has a degree of control under the worst of circumstances but here she just has to lie there hoping that Marshall will get to her in time.
