The clock is counting down on timer set for a cabin rigged with explosives. Becca disarms it with just two seconds to spare. She finds a room that looks like it was meant for a little boy. This was to be Michael's bedroom. Flashbacks show Paul getting a call in the weeks before Michael is to be born. He claims Martin is sending him on a mission, but he'll be back before the baby arrives.

Back in the present, Becca finds a map that suggests the bad guys are smuggling items by train out of Moscow. She also finds a photocopy of an employee badge for Helios Mining and Oil. The photo on the ID is of Michael. The CEO of the company is the mystery man who recently confronted Becca. He's the same guy Paul has been dealing with for years. His name: Viktor Azimoff.

Agent Fitzpatrick is transporting the 250 million dollars in Paul's stock certificates back to Langley. They are never going to reach that destination. Paul runs Fitzpatrick's car off the road before swiping the stocks. He then drops half the stocks at a predetermined location and makes plans to meet up with Azimoff in Vienna.

Back at the cabin, Violet accidentally trips a sensor. Alarms sound. Everybody run! BOOM! The cabin is destroyed in a massive explosion. No one is hurt, but the wreckage destroys all the evidence they had just moments ago. Becca knows her next play is to go after Azimoff.

Dax's boss, Jamie Ortega, choppers to the cabin site to state that CIA support in the search for Michael Winstone has been suspended. So Becca steals her helicopter to go to after Azimoff in Moscow. At a train yard warehouse, Becca sees workers in Hazmat suits loading items into a huge fuel tanker. It's being attached to a long line of train cars. She lets Giancarlo know that she needs to make her next move alone.

Becca steps up to the entrance of the headquarters for Helios Mining and Oil. The CIA knows she's a dead woman by making this move unless she's working with Azimoff. Becca lets the mastermind of whatever operation she's in the middle of know that she'll trade her life if it means seeing her son. Azimoff makes a call to an unseen party who has been listening in. Moments later, the blonde assassin knocks out Becca. She's tossed into a trunk of a car that ends up at the castle where her son has been held.

Remember how we said Paul would be back before Michael was born? Flashbacks reveal that wasn't the case. Martin had let Becca know that he didn't send her husband on a mission. Paul was off meeting Viktor Azimoff. The two of them discussed a lucrative, albeit sketchy, career in the private sector. Michael was born while his father is away. Becca knows Paul lied to her. He said he was protecting an asset.

There's an unpleasant confrontation after Coffee Man realizes that some of Oksana's insulin is missing. Michael takes advantage of the situation by using some supplies to create a makeshift antenna for the cell phone he swiped. He gets a signal, but Becca's voicemail box is full. Michael does manage to leave part of a message on Mary's phone before Coffee Man storms in and starts beating him. Oksana comes up from behind to inject her insulin into Coffee Man's neck. It's enough to knock him out.

Michael and Oksana have no choice but to push up their escape plans to right now. They use the tunnel to reach the outside, but are too early for the train. They have to wait even though armed guards are searching the woods for them. They also have no idea that Becca is on the premises. She escapes from the car trunk, neutralizes a guard and infiltrates the castle. Becca finds the 235@W' symbol carved the table in Michael's room. She knows he was there. But where is he now?

BANG! BANG! A guard is shooting at Michael and Oksana as they scramble to hop aboard the passing train. Azimoff signals the blonde assassin to shoot the guard chasing the kids. Becca can see Michael's feet from the other side of the tracks as he boards the train with Oksana. She races back through the castle. The CIA stops her from pursuing the train and take her into custody. Giancarlo and Dax get into a brief fistfight that ends when Ortega insists that Giancarlo come with them as well.

Michael and Oksana are relieved to be on the train. They are finally free. It's the perfect birthday present for Michael, who kisses Oksana passionately. Unfortunately, they are not truly in the clear. They have no idea that Coffee Man has made his way onto one of the other cars on the train.
