Meanwhile, Janis comes around a corner at 1:49:32, sees Tanner's lawyers, and ducks back into hiding as she realizes that she has no idea how she's going to do this. But after a moment's thought, she pops out again, calling, "Excuse me, gentlemen!" Think she's going to give them her Weight Watchers pitch?
Walker returns to Tanner's bedside and tells him he's out of time. Tanner groans that whatever Walker does, he's not going to tell her anything. So Walker draws her replacement gun and presses the muzzle against one of the bandages on his abdomen, demanding, "Who do you work for?" Wow, she really has turned into a female Kiefer. This is kind of terrifying. As Tanner grunts and sweats in pain, and fresh blood starts spreading under the spot where she's applying pressure, she keeps asking about Tony and the CIP device. "Lawyers," is all Tanner will say. Walker steps back in dismay, looking like she knows she's going too far, as though she's already regretting what she's become. But then Tanner makes the fatal mistake of cackling at her from his bed, and she grabs his air hose in her hands. "You can't do this," he pants. "You're FBI. This is illegal. I have rights." She looks completely grief-stricken at what she's about to do, but she Kiefers, "I suggest you use your last breath wisely." Tanner uses it to say, "Go to hell." Since that wasn't what Walker had in mind, she kinks the hose between her palms. Tanner starts suffocating. It's 11:51:06. You know, while recapping the first couple of hours, I Twittered that Agent Walker is, like, the first female character on this show who isn't stupid, evil, ineffectual, crazy, slutty, or Chloe. And now, instead, she's Kiefer. But would Kiefer himself approve of her actions right now? Well, since she's doing this in pursuit of Kiefer, I think maybe that gets into kind of a gray area.
