Anyway, Kiefer demands names, but Buchanan can only say the conspiracy includes members of President Taylor's inner circle. Uh-oh, Secretary of State Joe Stevens -- someone's onto you. Finally, Kiefer asks what agency is running this deal. Buchanan explains, "That's just it, Jack, there's no shepherd. There's no agency. This corruption runs deep and wide. We're working outside the government. That's why we have to get Tony back undercover." So even though I was joking when I said it in a previous recap, Tony is working for a mom-and-pop operation, only Pop is Buchanan and Mom is Chloe. They are so screwed. Kiefer asks how they're going to get Tony back in place when he's in custody inside an FBI building, and Buchanan says, "Chloe's already into their system." For some reason, Kiefer is surprised to hear that Chloe's in on this. Chloe says it's good to hear his voice, because apparently she's never seen a TV commercial. "I saw the hearings on C-SPAN," she babbles. "I can't believe what the senator said to you. You looked good, though." Buchanan asks for Kiefer's help getting Tony out, and Kiefer's actually down with it He even suggests they let his new friend Walker join the band. "I trust her," he insists. After all, he's known her for over two hours. Buchanan says to go ahead and bring her in if he needs to, but it'll make Walker a target. Kiefer isn't about to do that to his new best friend, so he agrees to do it Buchanan's way, as long as Chloe can help get them out of the building. After agreeing and hanging up, Buchanan puts on his jacket to leave the Buchanan-cave. It's 10:28:42.
At 10:32:53, Janis notices that Sean's even a little more off than usual. He bitches about having to work around the level-four lockdown, and she snarks, "Oh, I thought you'd welcome the opportunity to complain about something." Once she's gone, Sean tries to do something else on his computer and gets an "ACCESS DENIED" message. And then he gets a bad idea. You can tell by his shiftier-than-usual manner.
Back in his office at the White House residence, Henry performs the symbolic act of putting away Roger's SEC file in his desk, to show us that he's moving on. But his cell phone is already ringing. When he answers it, it's Sam, calling from her desk at work. Henry's quite embarrassed, and ready to apologize for his earlier behavior, but she demurs and says he wasn't wrong. "Roger didn't commit suicide, Mr. Taylor. He was murdered." She wants to meet with Henry alone, because it's not like she can talk about it over the phone. Uh, any more. Than she already has. By saying Roger was murdered. Over her work phone line, which, since she's a trader, is probably recorded. Onto recordings which are probably accessible by her boss, who is probably Nichols, who is in on the conspiracy. So you can see why she would want to be careful. Henry, of course, is only too willing. My theory: It's a trap!
