Episode Report Card M. Giant: B- | Grade It Now! YOU GRADE IT Unlovely Rita

On his way out to the hallway, Kiefer notifies Turner that the bomb has been deactivated: "It's over." "It's not over," says Morris, mirroring his remark from earlier. He miserably confesses that he gave Fayed the goods. "You gave him something that works?" Kiefer hisses furiously. Morris says he's sorry. I guess he's not really in a position to argue that he couldn't withstand twenty minutes of torture to a guy who just wrapped twenty months of it. Hearing the conversation, Chloe looks sad and disappointed as Kiefer asks if CTU got that. Buchanan says that they did, and sends Nadia to notify Wayne.
Back at the apartment, Kiefer tells Turner to split his men into teams to search the apartment and the building. "Agent O'Brian will tell you what you're looking for," he passive-aggressives. Morris guilts into a splitscreen window, other ones of which show Chloe looking sad some more, Wayne on his phone getting the news, and Fayed already airborne in a helicopter. Seems to me that if Kiefer hadn't defused the bomb, Fayed would have had a pretty short flight.
The latest news has already shown up on Tom's screen, and he reads it with alarm. He picks up his phone to call Chad Lowe, who has his resignation letter all ready. "No, just tear that up," says Tom. He carefully says that he wants to continue the discussion they were having earlier. Chad Lowe snatches up the handset and quickly says, "Not on this phone. I'll let you know when I have a secure location." So they can, you know, muse in private. Chad Lowe hangs up, and then crumples Tom's resignation letter and throws it in the trash. Meanwhile Tom sits at his desk and rubs his face with an expression of, ironically enough, resignation. It's 2:00:00.
