Do you suppose Kiefer's ever going to give the Secret Service their car back? It's 5:22:33, and he's driving along with Grayadder in the shotgun seat (and also in a new shirt) and DoDder in the back. Kiefer's talking to Special Agent Breck while he drives, and he figures out that Curtis is in trouble upon hearing that the Handsome Black Agent isn't answering his phone. I don't know why everyone doesn't just assume that Curtis is dead. Help me out here: is Curtis ugly and I'm just too straight to see it? ["…No." -- Sars] Kiefer asks where the field teams are, and Special Agent Breck says that Agent Castle and his guys are two minutes away and can set up a staging area near the building. Kiefer asks her the probability that ImhoTerror's in the house, but Special Agent Breck doesn't know yet. They hang up. Grayadder asks if CTU has found ImhoTerror yet, and Kiefer snaps, "No." Grayadder says to DoDder, "You have to know that I would never be involved in anything that could bring you harm." DoDder points out that his connection to ImhoTerror is "a hell of a coincidence." Kiefer says that it might not be a coincidence, and that ImhoTerror might have wanted to use Grayadder to get "one degree of separation" from DaD. Grayadder insists that he had no idea where Team DoD would be this morning, so the terrorists couldn't have gotten their whereabouts from him. Kiefer says they might have wanted Grayadder in place for some potential Plan B. Nice to see them chatting so amiably here, barely a quarter hour after Kiefer gave him a good juicing. No wonder they're so cavalier about torture in the 24-verse; people who live there seem to recover from it rather quickly. "I've been careless," Grayadder says, then turns to DoDder in the back seat to say, "I'm so sorry." She looks at him compassionately, the tips of her fingers just touching his shoulders. Kiefer looks at her in the rearview mirror with the opposite of compassion, the tips of his fingers just touching the inner core of the steering wheel rim. She looks back at him like, "What?" Great non-verbal acting between these two tonight. It's 5:24:07.
5:28:34. Kiefer is still staring a hole through his rearview mirror, DoDder is starting to look a little uncomfortable about it, and TerrorMom is looking bored because she's not as close to the center of the story anymore. In the observation room, Soul Patch is telling Driscoll that every name TerrorMom gave them has "checked out as a mid-level cell member." What, they have an org chart to compare them to? Apparently, because Driscoll observes that ImhoTerror is connected to everyone on TerrorMom's list. Which means that TerrorMom is holding out on them with regard to who ImhoTerror really is. Soul Patch asks Driscoll for "a little rope." Driscoll pretends to think about it before approving, as if she ever says no to requests like that, and Soul Patch heads back in to lean on TerrorMom.
