When they tell her to come with them, she hits a button that causes their ear pieces to overload and nearly knocks them out from the deafening feedback. A man named Clay walks out and apologizes for his men. He tells them it's a matter of national security.

As they enter the limo, Clay tells Contessa he knows she's actually Baboushka, a Mafiya boss, and wants to make a deal with them. He tells them he represents EON, Extrajudicial Operations Network. He tells them Bob Felton, an ex-CIA agent who now racketeers, is selling his business. He would never sell to them, but he would probably sell to her as a Mafiya boss. They offer to bankroll her.
