By M. Giant | Season 6 | Episode 5 | Aired on January 21, 2007
At the Anacostia Detention Facility in Washington, D.C., a whole surveillance room has been set up in what was probably the school's science lab or something. Sandra Palmer is hanging out among the agents manning computers and flat screen monitors, and she's not exactly happy to see the blond agent who arrested her and Walid a few hours ago. He claims he didn't want to arrest either one of them, and introduces another agent named Jennings, a tall, Dubya-looking dude who's going to be working with them. Agent Blond says that Jennings will be putting a wire on Walid. Sandra thinks replacing Walid with someone else is a better idea, since Walid doesn't have the training. Good point. Plus I think it'll totally work if some guy no one's ever seen before goes up and says, "Hey, remember that guy who came to your defense when the guards were hassling you before? Pretend that was me." Sandra tries to ask Jennings how the wire's going to be getting on Walid, but he's not particularly forthcoming.
Meanwhile, Walid's wandering around out in the schoolyard, when he sees the "cell" gathered in a circle off to one side. He heads over to his friend from before (we learn this hour that his name is Salim) like the dorky guy trying to get in with the cool kids, and asks, "Have you heard anything more?" Salim's a little suspicious of Walid's curiosity, but relaxes at what a total nerd Walid's being. "No more than you, my brother," he answers, pleasantly enough. However, his Arabic-speaking compatriots aren't quite so friendly, and Walid's left outside the circle. Story of his life, I'm guessing.
