Back at the scene, a paramedic (the same one who worked on Dubaku this afternoon, I think) is checking out Tony, having just bandaged up his side. Apparently he just missed his splenic artery. The EMT wants Tony to go to the hospital, but Tony refuses, and also turns down any pain meds. Instead, he limps over to the mobile command center, where a whole AV wall has been set up in record time to monitor the search. While Tony quietly takes in everything on the various displays, an unsuspecting Park tells Tony to get some rest, so Tony steps away, dialing his cell phone. He gets Galvez on the phone to tell him he's got a clear path inside the search grid for now, and he's got about thirty minutes to do what Tony tells him. Which is to take the C-4 Tony gave him earlier, find a building to lure as many FBI agents as possible into, and blow up the building with them inside. You know, I'm starting to believe that Tony might actually be evil. "You want me to blow up a couple of dozen FBI agents?" Galvez asks. "You got a problem with that?" Tony says. Galvez is still worried about the perimeter, but Tony says he has that figured out as well. I smell a cunning plan.
At FBI, Walker climbs on board the chopper as it's spinning up. Don't ask me how they got it back there, with a dead pilot and all. Or maybe this is just chopper two. As she waits for it to lift off, suddenly the other back door opens and Kiefer climbs in next to her. Walker tries to stop him, but Kiefer's showing off his lauded stubbornness: "You want to keep arguing about this and waste more time? Fine. I'm not getting out." So the chopper takes off with him in it. It's 2:13:23.
At 2:17:52, the woman now posing as Hodges's attorney -- or, as I plan to call her until we get a name, the Faux-yer -- enters the White House via the south entrance. The guards check her ID and her thumbprint, and after a tense moment, she's cleared to be escorted to White House Jail. That was way easier than coming in through a tunnel under the Potomac.
After being absent the entire previous hour, Olivia's back from her reporter-screwing expedition. She and her mom charge down a White House hallway, talking about the Galvez situation. "He's already murdered four people," Olivia says. "Including Larry Moss." Taylor is brought up short by that, but continues sadly on as Olivia tells her a search is underway. As they reach the Oval Office, Olivia says that since Galvez is a Starkwood employee, this has to be Hodges's doing. But Taylor isn't so sure, given what Hodges told her earlier about being "a small cog in a very large machine." Olivia doesn't want to credit that, but Taylor says he needs to be interrogated at the FBI. Ooh, a prisoner transfer! Those always go well on this show. Olivia's objection, however, is less superstitious than mine: "He's a sociopath, mom. He's not going to talk. He's going to want to make some kind of deal in exchange for his cooperation." When Olivia sees that Taylor's considering doing just that, she reminds him of what happened to Roger. You know, back when Olivia still wasn't talking to her. "Just get him to FBI," Taylor insists.
