Joey Slotnick played the amply-hated Steven Haladki, while Aharon Ipal� portrayed nefarious arms dealer Ineni Hassan/Nebseni Saad. J.J. Abrams is the creator of "Alias".
Ken Olin is also the producer/director of "Alias". Ken Olin is no relation to Lena Olin, who played Irina Derevko (Sydney's mom), although their surnames are suspiciously alike...

Answer: Dolphin

SD-6 wanted the Dolphin software, but McNeil wouldn't sell it.

3. What is the passcode to get into the room that contains McNeil's software?

Answer: 4747

Robert Stoller is the first person Will meets with during his investigation.
