Tony stands over Moss's body, looking at the gaping holes in his side from the shotgun rounds Galvez pumped into him, and the blood-goatee he's sporting since Tony smothered him. Tony can hear Janis on comm telling the whole world that they're looking for Robert Galvez and that she's sending out a picture of him. Tony picks up Moss's empty sidearm, changes the clip, and takes a deep breath. Then, getting a head start on a bellow of pain, he shoots himself low on the left side, and the bullet appears to go straight through. It's not every show that you have to convey an exit wound in real time. He falls to the ground writhing. He manages to pull it together just enough to answer his cell phone when it rings, and it's Galvez on the other end of the line. Galvez has seen the patrols and wants to keep moving, but Tony tells him not to: there's a tight perimeter, and they have Galvez's photo. Tony says he'll get Galvez out. "I promise you, that canister you stole for me is worth a lot of money from the people I'm working for." "A hell of a lot of good that money's gong to do me in prison," Galvez whines, so Tony tells him to shut up and do what he says. "Guard the canister, stay put, and wait for my call." In that order, presumably.
Just then, a couple of FBI SUVs come into the lot, flashers blinking. Tony hides his phone and plays possum, so all the new arrivals can see is two bodies on the pavement. Agent Park goes to Tony, "revives" him, and asks what happened. Tony says the suspect ambushed them and that he doesn't know where he went. Which technically is true, except for the "them" part and the fact that the only reason he doesn't know where Galvez is is because he didn't ask him while he was talking to him on the phone less than a minute ago.
Back at FBI-DC, Janis reports to Walker that the TAC team has arrived, but still no twenty on Moss. He's under you, Park, you ass. But then Spawn shows up at Walker's elbow to say goodbye. Walker's kind of startled, not to say judgmental, that Spawn isn't going to be helping Kiefer after all. Kim tells Walker that Kiefer doesn't want to take the chance. "If he's gonna die, he wants it to be on his terms." "Yes, but can't you change his mind?" Walker asks. Spawn says, "I would think you'd know by now that no one can change my father's mind when it's made up." Right. Walker's known him almost a day. So, yeah, that's fair. Spawn thanks her for giving them the chance to talk to each other. "I wanted to say more but I don't want to cause him any more pain." Or me. Janis calls over to Walker to say that Park is calling in, and Walker excuses herself from Kim (who gives a very Kiefer-like huff of disappointment while saying she understands) and goes over to take the call.
