A brief filler scene at the FBI's Washington Field office -- hereafter known as FBI-DC (TM Kim) -- shows Moss updating Sean and Janis on the situation. They've already heard about it from the NSA, who is trying to find the entry point. "They've never seen anything like it before," Sean mutters, showing a good deal of eye-white. Before Moss can do more than look worried, he gets a walkie-talkie call from Agent Walker, who's now on street level with Kiefer, looking for the shooter who just took out Schechter. Moss tells Walker that the situation has escalated, and explains how. "What did Schechter say?" he asks. "Not much before he was killed," Walker says. Way to bury the lede. She explains about the sniper across the street, shooting from a building that's now sealed off. "You all right?" Moss asks with what looks to be more than professional concern. He even has to lean against a wall to calm himself. He tells Walker he's sending SWAT teams to help with the search, and signs off. My interpretation is that he's secretly in love with Walker. My viewing partner's interpretation is that they're already doing it. Of course, The X-Files taught us that attractive FBI agents can't stay out of each other's pants, so I'm probably wrong.
Walker relays Moss's message to Kiefer, who isn't as excited about the prospect of approaching help as you might think. "I think you got a problem," he says. "Almeida called that office seconds after Schechter was killed. How do you think he knew I was there?" This is purely a rhetorical question, because Kiefer has already decided that the FBI has a mole. Well, when in doubt... But Walker isn't buying it. Kiefer snarks, "Yeah, and I didn't want to believe that Tony Almeida was a terrorist, but at some point we have to deal with the facts, not what we want to believe is true." He insists someone on Walker's side is dirty, but she shuts him down. "I brought you here to help with Schechter, not to help co-manage this operation." Kiefer yells at her to "be careful who you let in!" Of course he yells it right next to a few other FBI agents. One of those agents asks for Kiefer's gun back. I still don't know how Kiefer scammed one in the first place. Seeing no help coming from Walker, Kiefer huffs and hands it over. Walker tells an Agent Kilner to sit with Kiefer in his vehicle until she gets back. And don't forget to crack a window. Kiefer sits in the back seat at 9:06:15, staring pensively out at the alley and thinking hard about what he's done.
