Episode Report Card M. Giant: B | Grade It Now! YOU GRADE IT Fed Sematary
By M. Giant | Season 7 | Episode 6 | Aired on 01.26.2009
Starting now: at 1:40:42, Buchanan's molester van arrives at the airfield, having taken almost a half hour to make a trip that Emerson's prisoner van made in less than ten minutes. Buchanan must have hit the lights wrong. Anyway, Kiefer directs Buchanan where to park in the hangar, and he and Chloe hop out. Without preamble, Kiefer points Chloe to where the Matobos are waiting, and instructs her to get a wire on Matobo toot-sweet. Chloe runs off, leaving Kiefer to face Walker alone when she climbs out of the back, in a complete change of clothes. Buchanan and Chloe really did think of everything. Or maybe the reason they were late is that they stopped at Filene's Basement on the way over. "You okay?" he asks her. "What do you think, Jack?" she says coldly. "You shot me and buried me alive." She says it like it's a bad thing. Kiefer says it was either that or let Emerson kill her. "I'm sorry we had to keep you in the dark, but we didn't have a choice," he grumps. Walker protests that he could have trusted her. Kiefer asks if she would have believed him had he told her everything at the FBI. Walker doesn't have an answer for that. Actually, what happened is that Kiefer wanted to bring Walker in, but Buchanan warned him that doing so would put Walker in danger. Obviously she was much safer this way.
Over by one of the work tables near where the Matobos are standing, Chloe gloves up, and then uses her latex-covered hands to move a dirty stool into place for Matobo to have a seat. Nice sterility procedures there, O'Brian. She produces a pair of tweezers, and a tiny transmitter from inside a vial. "I'll be affixing it to one of your teeth, "she explains to Matobo. Well that should give him something to chew on. He asks her, "Are you with the FBI?" "No, I'm a stay-at-home mom," she answers. Open wide, Mr. Prime Minister.
Over at Buchanan's molester van, Kiefer's loading himself up with a sniper rifle and displaying an exquisite lack of reaction to Buchanan's news that according to some data that Chloe pulled off of the FBI server in her copious free time, Dubaku just killed over 270 people in a midair collision and has threatened to kill 10,000 more in the next hour. Walker asks how long they have until Nichols arrives, and Kiefer tells her ten minutes. Buchanan hands him a comm earpiece and wanders off, leaving Kiefer to pop it into his ear. He does a double-take when he sees Walker is still standing behind him, kind of zoning out. She confesses to being a little dizzy (which, the Walker I know is anything but), and Kiefer gets her to sit down, looking all concerned. "I've devoted my life to the Bureau and you just expect me to believe that it's corrupted?" she says. "That the entire government's been corrupted?" Kiefer says not everyone, but they can't trust anyone until they find out who. "The four of you really think you can stop this?" she asks, because she's new. "We have to," Kiefer says. "It's as simple as that." Okay, well, now that I know how it ends, I guess we'll see you next season.
