Back at NSA, Yulin is doing an homage to Linda Lavin by soaking his tired feet in a bucket of water after a hard day of waitressing, just like Linda does in the opening credits of Alice. Oh, wait, he's got his feet in that bucket because he's being tortured with defibrillator paddles. Simmons enters after a well-deserved torture break and resumes the questioning. This interrogation is still being observed by Palmer on his laptop from the safety of his office. Poor Man's Hume Cronyn enters Palmer's office and informs Palmer that Kiefer has found Syed Ali and is interrogating him. Palmer tells PMHC to make whatever resources Kiefer needs available to Kiefer. Then they both watch Simmons zap Yulin with those defibrillator paddles like they're taking an internet porn break. For the benefit of those of us who might be squeamish at the sight of an old man being tortured, Palmer mentions that Yulin has had extensive training in "interrogation resistance." "But everyone breaks eventually," says Palmer, dreamily watching the monitor. The time is 07:10:12 PM.
Mazda is the sponsor of tonight's episode. [cough] Car brand slut [cough]. Looks like Kurt Russell has a new movie coming out…in the spring. Now that Denzel won an Oscar for playing a cop in a older cop vs. younger cop drama, every male actor of a certain age is finding a piece of chicken to pair up with. In this case, it's that blond guy from Felicity that everyone totally forgot about. Why is Kurt Russell still starring in movies and getting above title credit? Is being married to Goldie Hawn that prestigious? Did Uncle Walt molest him during his tenure as a child star for Disney and give him a lifelong career to shut him up? Kurt Russell is the Fanta of actors. You know how you never see Fanta and you'd just assume that the factory closed back in the seventies but then you take a road trip somewhere and when you stop at a Subway franchise, there are cans of Fanta in the cooler. Why are they still making Fanta?
