Valentin swears he’s not keeping anything from her. He admits he was sought out to facilitate an introduction between a third party and Sonny, and he thought that was all he was doing. Anna asks what is going on, why is he involved with Sonny and who is the third party. Valentin admits it is a defense contractor called Pikeman. Anna asks if he is working with them, and does he know how dangerous they are. Valentin swears he isn’t working for Pikeman, and years ago he consulted on projects with them while at the WSB. He says Pikeman came to him because they know him, and they know he has an acquaintance with Sonny. Anna believes there was a specific reason they chose him. He says they asked him to be an intermediary and he agreed. Anna asks why? She notes he had to know this wouldn’t be above board, and it just screams illegal activities.
Valentin knew whatever was going on likely was not legal, but he was hoping Pikeman could help him bring down Victor at the time. Anna asks why they’d do that. Valentin reveals Pikeman is connected to the WSB. She asks how far this association goes. He doesn’t know, but he was still at the WBS when Pikeman first recruited him. He says other agents who left the WSB also knew they could find a job at Pikeman, and agents often moved back and forth between the two. Anna assumes this was around the time Victor was the head of the WSB, and Valentin confirms it. Anna believes she was the target for the WSB and Pikeman, who are in this together, and she refuses to be a sitting duck. She asks if there is anything else he knows then he should tell her before they take another shot at her. Valentin swears he’s told her everything, and he never meant to put her in danger. Anna believes there is still a missing piece and leaves to find it.
