At 11:55:32, Janis is leading Tanner's lawyers on a runaround through the hospital corridors. "I assure you, I'm taking this very seriously," she lies, cracking me up with her earnest bumbling dork act. She claims that Tanner was moved for security reasons, and pretends to be just as confused about his location as they are. By now they've had enough of her bullshit, and they approach the nurses' station to ask for Tanner. The nurse pulls up a screen on her computer to find him, and it alerts her to a "ventilator malfunction." Which no one has noticed for the last five minutes. Well, if Walker doesn't kill him, the hospital will. The nurse jumps to her feet and rushes to Tanner's door, calling for codes and crash carts. As the lawyers watch the nurses struggle to open the door that Walker jammed behind herself, one of them asks Janis, "Is somebody in there with her?" Janis is about to swallow her tongue in panic, until Walker comes out jauntily toting Janis's laptop case and chirping, "He's all yours, counselors." They try to stop her, but she's already striding away down the corridor with Janis, whom she tells, "You don't want to know, Janis, don't ask." She hands Janis her laptop bag -- and how awkward would it have been for Janis to have to go back for that? -- and tells her to have the other agent drive her back to the office. So I guess Tanner doesn't need an FBI presence outside his door any more. After all, what are the chances that someone else will make an attempt on his life?
