Alexei asks why Charlie does not believe the new clue is Pandora itself. Charlie realizes that Alexei could hear her at the door when she told Dante she would not help him anymore. Charlie stalls Alexei by rambling about physics and telling him she is a criminal who has been blackmailed into helping the CIA. Alexei laughs, speaking to his comrades in German that the CIA needs the help of a “little girl.” Charlie responds in German, then in several other languages to prove to Alexei how smart she is. Knowing the Furies cannot speak Chinese, she uses Mandarin to warn Milana and Dante to be ready to move on her cue.

Then, Charlie keeps Alexei’s attention by claiming she can decipher the clue. She moves to the computer desk and grabs a mug full of pens off the desk. Then, the sunlight from the window hits the computer monitor, momentarily blinding Alexei. At the same moment, Charlie smashes the mug of pens into his face, and Milana and Dante attack the other Furies. Charlie runs upstairs, Milana behind her. Dante stays behind to protect their escape. Charlie and Milana escape onto the roof. Charlie fears that Dante will die protecting them, and then someone starts shooting at them again.
