NSA. PoorMan'sHumeCronyn puts the phone down. "It's over," he says to Palmer, referring to the hostage situation and not, say, his romance with me. He tells Palmer about Nina being taken down without being seriously harmed. "Shall we take her back to prison?" asks PMHC. Palmer says no. He wants to wait until her information checks out before they pardon her, but in the meantime she should be held in L.A. "Let her share the fate of everyone she's endangered!" says Palmer. PMHC is all, "Yes sir," with a barely contained smirk.
Back at the crash site, Kiefer is in charge once more. While agents hold onto Nina, Kiefer radios for a chopper to bring him back to L.A. Their eyes meet, and Kiefer walks over and whispers something inaudible into her ear. According to the episode summary on fox.com, Nina's face "becomes masked with fear." Actually, she looks more annoyed, like Kiefer just told her that her ass looks fat in those pants. As Kiefer makes his way over to the chopper, he notices one of the dead militia men who tried to kill him and Nina. He kneels down to get a closer look, and sees a tattoo of a snake on the dead man's wrist.
The time is 5:06:37 PM. Warner Enterprises. It's housed in a tall glass and steel building and everything. HandsomeBlackAgent and a female partner of his escort a handcuffed Reza into Papa Crew's office, where they boot up the computer -- a brand new iMac with a flat screen monitor, for those of you who are keeping track -- and access the invoice files. Reza whines about having to use the computer while in handcuffs and how his life is over because his fiancée just left him on his wedding day. "There's a nuke somewhere in this city," says HandsomeBlackAgent. "And if you don't give me something useful in the next hour, I'm going to take you back to CTU and chain you to the roof so you can have a front row seat when the damn thing goes off." Man, I am so going to miss this HandsomeBlackAgent when he gets killed. He's survived four episodes now, and he got to deliver a bad-ass line and everything.
