Back in the forest, Hunky Stranger is wrapping Spawn's ankle with an ace bandage that I guess he pulled out of his pants. He wants to take her to the nearest ranger station, but Spawn wants no such thing. Now, if I meet some bloody girl in the woods who seems to be on the run and bristles at the mention of any law enforcement personnel, I'm probably going to keep my distance. However, Hunky Stranger isn't me. He invites her back to his cabin, which just happens to be nearby. Again, I just have to say that it must be nice to have a vagina.
Back at Temple El-Kaboom, it's the imam's turn to try to get information out of Syed Ali. I'm thinking that this is the Muslim equivalent of getting your local Episcopalian minister to talk some sense into those Operation Rescue freaks before they bomb another abortion clinic. In yet another dialogue brought to you by the Arab Anti-Defamation League, the imam tries to convince Syed that terrorism is against the teachings of Allah and that the Koran forbids the killing of innocents. "We have different interpretations of the Koran," answers Syed dryly. "The murder of one innocent, let alone millions, will not get you into paradise," says the imam. "We will continue this debate when I see you there," says Syed Ali. I take it that's the Muslim equivalent of "see you in hell!" Stunned, the imam walks back to Kiefer, who is busy doing something with those fiber optic cables. The imam informs Kiefer that he doesn't think he can reach Syed, but he'd like to keep trying. Kiefer explains that they don't have time. "You can't be involved with what is going to happen next," says Kiefer, ordering someone to escort the imam upstairs and out of the way. HAFA enters and informs Kiefer that they "recovered" the last number dialed on Syed Ali's cell phone. Oh, like this involved some major intelligence gathering. It's called the redial button. Look into it! HAFA tells Kiefer the number. Cate overhears their conversation and realizes that the phone number they are taking about is Marie's. She demands to know what's going on. Kiefer explains to her that Marie is the prime suspect in the shooting of Reza and two CTU officers. They have her on tape leaving the building and everything. "She was probably trying to escape," suggests Cate, grasping at straws. Kiefer dares her to prove her sister's innocence by giving her a call. Cate agrees. Kiefer has HAFA rig a phone so that Cate's number will appear on Marie's caller ID when she calls. The time is 07:24:14 PM.
