The James Bond guitar kicks up again while Chloe's still in the server room covering her tracks on the system. Meanwhile, Slime is trotting down the hallway right past the ladies' and into the server room. But by the time he gets there, the only thing he finds is a whoosh-ing noise. Chloe's like the wind, y'see. Back to the James Bond guitar, and Slime heads back to the floor. But the music cuts off abruptly when he runs into Chloe, ostensibly coming out of the women's room. "What were you doing?" he demands dangerously. Chloe for once does a great job at playing innocent. "If you really want the details," she snarks, "I'll write you a report." And for once Chloe is nicer than I would have been, because I would have bluffed that the report was already written. On toilet paper. In something nasty. Slime watches her walk away, thinking, Curses! Foiled again!
Back at the bank, Kiefer, Wayne, and Carl are getting ready to head out. The Bond guitar is back yet again. They reach the front door, and before they leave, Kiefer advises Carl to stay. But Carl thinks that if they find him inside, they'll kill him. Kiefer doesn't disagree. "I'll take my chances with you," he declares. Kiefer tells him to stay close to Wayne and break left once they get out of the bank.
Henderson's calling his guy for an update, and when he hears that Kiefer still hasn't left, he concludes that Kiefer must have spotted them and tells his guys to move in. But before they can, the cops arrive, sirens and flashers going. "We can't let them have Bauer," Henderson says. "Take them down." This without asking how many police have arrived, so it's lucky for the bad guys that there are only two cruisers. The shooting starts right away, and the cops are getting the worst of it. Kiefer orders an exit before there aren't any cops left to provide a diversion. But then as soon as he's out, he starts shooting at the bad guys, like, way to make use of your diversion there, dude. "Here I am! Shoot here!" He and the other guys manage to reach cover behind a parked car. There's lots more shooting and chaos, and then the whole damn U.S. Army rolls up, guns blazing. Kiefer says they need to make a dash for one of the now-empty police cars, and they almost make it without one of them getting shot. But of course, Carl takes a bullet right outside the car. Wayne hauls him into the back seat while Kiefer dives behind the wheel and screeches out of there, somehow remembering to turn off the flashers even under withering gunfire. And, split-screen!
