Kiefer says "hello" a couple of times before a familiar voice says, "Jack? Are you there? Can you hear me?" Kiefer freezes in his tracks, recognizing Audrey's voice. See? Not good. We see Audrey huddled in some dark building, looking like death warmed over as she asks Kiefer to help her. Kiefer asks what's going on, but Audrey has already flinchingly handed the phone back to Kiefer's old friend, the Chinese Consulate Cop. Which I guess I should stop calling him, since after the Consul got killed, he pretty much made Kiefer his full-time job. And now we see that he still hasn't resigned. Some people just hate updating their résumés. The Consulate Cop -- Cheng -- cheerfully tells Kiefer, "Yes, Ms. Raines is alive. If you wish her to remain that way, you will call me back in ten minutes at the 24 fan phone line." Except he gives the actual number. Damn, they're giving those ten digits a workout this season. "If you make any attempt to find our location," Cheng adds, "she dies." He snaps the phone shut. Kiefer barks Cheng's name into the phone a couple of times, but Cheng is gone. It's 11:00:00, and we have seven hours left in the season for him to find and save Audrey. Assuming that's what happens, of course.
