Phoenix target The Merchant, who raises funds for Codex by fixing soccer matches. Desi goes undercover as part of the team, and finds herself targeted by an unexpected sort of weapon.
!!Tropes:
* {{Foreshadowing}}: [[spoiler:Titan, the woman seen talking to The Merchant is obviously normal height, and therefore clearly not Matty.]]
* HeKnowsTooMuch/ HoistByTheirOwnPetard: The Merchant and his bodyguard kill the contractor who made the nanobot weapon, efficiently testing it at the same time. The Merchant only has one complaint; the bodyguard pressed the button too soon, leaving him unsure of the weapon's range.
-->'''Merchant:''' You were supposed to wait until he reached the post box! I've still got questions now, haven't I?
* NiceJobBreakingItHero: Desi tells an ashamed Gabriella to break her agreement with The Merchant to fix the match, which gets her killed.
* PoisonAndCureGambit: When she refuses to take a dive, The Merchant injects Desi with the nanoweapon, threatening to kill her as he did Gabriella unless she complies.
* SpringtimeForHitler: The plan calls for Desi to make a large gambling loss at a particular casino, thus appearing a vulnerable target for The Merchant to exploit. She somehow manages to win, turning $10,000 into $360,000, and her "let it ride" bet would have turned that into $12,960,000 had Mac not intervened.
-->'''Desi:''' Funny thing is, I don't really gamble. I hate losing money.\\
'''Russ:''' Well, it is ''my'' money.\\
'''Desi:''' Let's blow some cash!
