At 7:56:17, Kiefer and Walker pull into the parking lot of the auto parts and glass repair shop where their contact is working. He's even helpfully visible in the front window, wearing an apron and turning out the lights. Kiefer hands Walker an earpiece so he can hear her, and she gets out. Kiefer calls her back and says, "This is your last shot. You do not have to do this." She insists that she wants to, and heads on up to the store.
"We're closed!" Ziya calls out when he hears the door chime. Should have locked the door then, genius. Actually, he'll be regretting that even more later. But for now, he looks gobsmacked to see Walker, and his gray, sad-sack face goes slack with surprise and smitten-ness. "Renee," he says. Walker flirtily compliments him on his outfit. "Not a lot of men can pull off a skirt." Ziya is surprised to see her out of prison, and she claims to have gotten out early for good behavior. "With warden?" Ziya asks. "Well, eventually, yeah," Walker snarks. "But it's like with anything else, you gotta work your way up." She says she's looking for Vladimir. He says Vladimir disappeared, but Renee comes around the counter all flirty, saying Ziya can find him if he wants. She even offers to cut Ziya in on a deal she's looking to make. "Unless of course you're making so much money here that that's of no interest to you." He pulls up his shirt cuff to reveal a little red LED in the shadows. Walker recognizes it as a parole bracelet. "I'm like dog," Ziya confirms in his Boris Badenov accent. "I leave yard, I get shock." Walker asks him to make some calls, but he's not about to do that, either. She wants to see the bracelet. "Have I ever messed you up, ever?" He can't resist her flirty moves, and flops his encumbered wrist into her hand. She examines it and says she can get it off. Ziya's not buying it, because he watches White Collar. "You screw with this, you know what happen? Cops come running in, two hours I'm back inside." Walker insists she knows how to do it. He asks how, and she says, "'Cause I'm constantly having to deal with people like you, that's how," she says. "I can get if off if I can just hold it steady." He lets her lead him over to a vise (good thing he's not working at a bedding store), and clamps the bracelet in. Then she goes over and grabs a power cutter, which she fires up. "What I say, you can't cut bracelet," he protests. "I'm not gonna cut the bracelet," she says, all flirtiness gone. And boy, is what she cuts ever not the bracelet. But did we need to see the blade sinking into his flesh, and gobbets of blood spattering his screaming face? I think not.
