Jude, Marty and I have been doing some test runs with TOBI to ensure that he'll be ready for the 15th (which he seems to be set for that). We wiped TOBI's memory of Omniscient Eyes data so we had him try to go crack the password again. Although he was a bit slower, after 33 seconds he got in and found this...

Antiaris
Can't Say "No"
Make Methane
House of Cards
Renaldo Benson
For Hal
Splitting Headache

Balau
Rolly Polly Woody
Fish Food
Eye Five Break
John Bartlett
J. Osman
Jump the Hump

Larch
Wanna Be
Pine Box
From Da Buzzer
Vaslie Alecsandri
Google
Neck Tie

Vasile Alecsandri

OE code puzzle

Notice that the lines in each code correspond.
Each of the four codes are laid out in the same manner.
All of the last lines are slang terms for the method of death...

Splitting Headache= Beaten (most likely bludgeoned with a bat)
Necktie= slit throat
3 hole punch= (execution style)2 shots to the head, and one to the chest
Jump the Hump= possibly running a car off of a cliff

Just a start, but it might help sort out the other lines.

Necktie == noose
Necklace == slit throat

Eye 5 Break

This just in;
I found this at http://www.columbian.com/reflections/reflections.html

The Interstate 5 highway in Clark County crosses the Columbia Breaks The Bridge could be the "hump" in line 6 of the Balau code ( jump the hump)
This could refer to someone getting tossed off the bridge.

line 2 of Balau

going off the bridge would also make sense of line 2 "Fish Food"

On another note, In the Larch code, this could be refering to the Bomb in marcus' car. Line 3 "From Da Buzzer"= could be refering to the remote for his car alarm.

Ok, talking with driz had the following thought. The agents in these lists don't know their 'code names' yet. So the name on each list is a code name, and the next line identifies them so they know it's their assignment.

Balau is a kind of wood. Rolly Polly Woody (which if you'll forgive me for being unladylike I'm thinking could be Melody's uncle Richard).

Antiaris is a poisonous plant, and it's also used as a heart depressant. The very first thing to pop in my head after I read Can't Say "No" is the old Just Say No drug campaign.

Larch is a programming language. People who pretend to be technofiles and aren't really good are often called Wanna Be's.

Still working, but if I'm right, and we stop presuming there's only one person referenced in each list, it could help us.

Pine Box = Coffin
Neck tie = hanging
Fish food = drowning
Jump the Hump could also mean Wednesday

This is so morbid.

"Can't Say 'No'" reminds me of the song "I Cain't Say No" from the musical Oklahoma

Do we know anyone from Oklahoma.....?

Can't Say "No" reminds me of "an offer you can't refuse".

Methane (CH4) is a colourless, odourless non-toxic gas consisting of molecules of four hydrogen atoms and one carbon atom. Methane is combustible, and mixtures of about 5 to 15% in air are explosive.

POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS:
INHALATION:
SHORT TERM EXPOSURE: nausea, vomiting, headache, dizziness, disorientation, mood swings, tingling sensation, loss of coordination, suffocation, convulsions, unconsciousness, coma

Not to mention the uncontrollable reflex of shouting "EWWWW! It smells like POOP!"

Could each code be instructions for a victim?

I think the Larch code may refer to Thad


Larch
Wanna Be = Pretense or pretend to be something you aren't
Pine Box = coffin but could this also mean a "soap box?"
From Da Buzzer = from the beginning or from the end of something
Vaslie Alecsandri = famous patriot: could refer to Thad
Google =go private or get alone
Neck Tie =strangle

Why should Alecia want to kill Thad?
I agree each code could refer to one victim, but I think they are the three guys + Roddington
