The time is 07:08:46 PM. Good grief, it's Special Agent Charlie Brown, driving his vehicle through a tunnel. And we all know what tunnels symbolize, don't we? Don't we? Chappelle calls him on his cell phone to ask him what he's doing. "Looking for Kiefer," says Charlie. Chappelle informs Charlie Brown that CTU is working on that very same thing. "I may have a thread," says Special Agent Charlie Brown. He proceeds to explain that he and Kiefer "back-pocketed" some of Hartmano's contacts, and that he's following up with them. Chappelle tells Charlie to hand over the list of contacts so he can put a field team on it. Charlie argues that there's no time for that. "As soon as Kiefer turns Hartmano over to his brother, they're going to kill him," says Special Agent Charlie Brown. Chappelle points out that Kiefer might already be dead, and orders Charlie to get back to CTU. "Why?" asks Charlie. "Because I just found out that Kiefer's been using heroin," says Chappelle. Only he says it in this really nerdy, out-of-touch way like he's just found out that Kiefer listens to bebop, hangs out with Negro jazz musicians, and greases his hair. Charlie Brown lies and claims that he had no idea that Kiefer was riding the white horse. Chappelle doesn't believe him. "I think you've been covering for him all along," says Chappelle, menacingly. "Sir, the only thing that matters right now is finding Kiefer and I can't do that from CTU," says Special Agent Charlie Brown, deftly changing the subject. Chappelle orders Special Agent Charlie Brown to get back to CTU and threatens to fire him if he doesn't. "Do you understand?" asks Chappelle. "Yes," says Special Agent Charlie Brown. They hang up just as Charlie's Brownmobile pulls out of the tunnel.
Back at CTU, Potato Face gets a call from Adam the Woman Hater, who asks her where Spawn is. Potato Face has no idea. "Are your logs still lagging behind by six hours?" asks Adam TWH. Potato Face checks her computer and replies that they are. "I thought Spawn was supposed to take care of that," says Adam. "I don't know what Spawn is doing," says Potato Face, childishly minding her own Ps and Qs. "I don't follow her schedule that closely." They hang up just as Crystal Gael zips past Adam's desk. Adam asks Crystal Gael where Spawn is. Crystal Gael replies that Chappelle reassigned her to another task, but promises to send her over as soon as she's free. The paranoia-cam is utilized as Bitchelle pulls Crystal Gael over to her desk and gives him some more last-minute pointers before she leaves for the hospital. While captive at Bitchelle's desk, Gael has no choice but to watch helplessly as Adam makes a phone call to Gael's Spy Console, where Spawn was last known to be.
