Synopsis for "Lust For Life"

Ivana Baiul brings DV8 via helicopter to their new base, a Manhattan penthouse.  Upon entry, her head of security, Sideways Bob, introduces himself along with Lucille, the severed mannequin head he carries with him. Baiul hands each team member a stack of cash and tells them to choose suites for themselves.  They then leave to explore the city.  Threshold questions why they have abandoned their more secure island base, and Baiul explains she wants to see how the team interacts with normal people.  Bliss brings a man back to her bedroom while Powerhaus visits a strip joint, Frostbite goes to a bar, Sublime takes a helicopter tour, Copycat dances at a club, and Evo watches a street musician.  Their beepers go off, and the team regroups for their next mission.  Threshold leads them on a raid of a CIA safehouse in upstate New York.  They slaughter most of the agents present and abduct a small alien being kept there.  Threshold flies them back to the city, but their helicopter was damaged in the battle and crashes in a slum.  The alien is killed and disemboweled in the crash.  Baiul picks the team up in her limousine and takes them back to the penthouse.  They find Bliss's date dead in her bed, and Copycat has a breakdown over seeing the alien killed.
