Finally, Kiefer pulls his shit together, turns back to her, and quietly asks whether she knows the correct address. He promises to protect Josh, but says they need to find Gredenko if they're going to stop the nuclear attacks from continuing. Marilyn tearfully says she spotted the right house while they were driving, and rattles off an address: 9421 Glascoe. I'm kind of impressed that she was able to keep that in her head after what she's been through in the last ten minutes. Kiefer calls Buchanan again. He relays the correct address, and Buchanan says that Turner's team will be there momentarily. Maybe he should get an explanation on how the first address turned out to be so explosively wrong before dispatching another team, wouldn't you think? He asks Kiefer to run point on Gredenko Two: The Gredenkening, but Kiefer declines. Instead, he wants a CTU team sent to pick him up where he is, and to make sure he gets a CTUmobile with a full tactical kit. Plus Milo needs to be brought back so that he can get patched up and be put back to work within the hour. Kiefer is about to sign off, asking Buchanan to call him back as soon as they nab Gredenko. Buchanan's really not sure about all this, and I can't really blame him. Kiefer just lost half of the last team he had, and now he's asking for two more? Plus, as far as Buchanan still knows, Kiefer killed his brother. And now Kiefer is asking Buchanan to trust him. "This is personal," says Kiefer, and hangs up with a small twinge of guilt. "This is personal"? That should make Buchanan feel better. Of course he's totally going to send the CTU team like Kiefer asked, because that's how he rolls. "How could I have been so stupid?" Kiefer wonders. And in case you forgot what his dad looks like, father and son each get their own split screen windows so that we can gaze upon them side by side. It's 3:09:46.
3:14:12. At CTU, Chloe goes over to Morris's desk and asks whether he's finished the "vectors." He says no. Oh for fuck's sake, how long does it take to finish a goddamn vector anyway? A vector should practically finish itself if you know what you're doing. And no, I have no idea what I'm talking about. Chloe offers to help, and Morris bitches that he doesn't "want this to turn into another conversation about whether I'm okay." He quickly apologizes to Chloe, though, placing his hand on hers. She suggests that he talk to a staff psychologist or his sponsor. Sponsor? Either Morris is a twelve-stepper or he's about to have a very disappointed corporate backer. Nadia shows up to give them an update on what just happened in the field. She mentions that Milo was shot while holding off three armed hostiles: "From what I understand, he's going to be up for a commendation." Just what Morris wants to hear. She asks Morris to debrief Milo when he gets back, and Morris takes it very personally indeed. "The nukes are armed because I'm a coward and now you want me to listen to Milo talk about what a bloody hero he is. Ugh. Coincidence?" Mortified for him, Chloe does a facepalm while Nadia gives Morris a WTF look. Chloe stands and says that it'll be taken care of. Nadia leaves, and Chloe snaps at Morris, "Obviously I pushed you back to work too soon. I'll have someone from District relieve you." Morris says that'll only make him feel worse -- because of course this is all about him -- and that he'll be fine after he takes a little walk. Chloe tells him to be back in time for their second run at Gredenko, and Morris walks off across the floor.
