5:08:10. In yet another vacant part of the building which is clearly under some kind of construction, Poor Man's John Malkovich and his two goons are standing around and waiting for Curtis to wake up. Curtis has been stripped of his suit jacket, which I approve of because I never liked the way his suit looked with that shirt anyway. I can't explain why. Hey, remember when Gustave used to recap this show? Good times. Ali comes in, and Poor Man's John Malkovich asks what ImhoTerror wants done with Curtis. "Finish him off. Then get rid of the body," Ali says. Is that really what ImhoTerror means when he doesn't say anything? Seems like he'd be a dangerous guy to know. Someone would tell you, "So, I saw ImhoTerror today." "Really? Did he say anything about me?" "No." "AIIIEEEE!" Also: it's interesting that Poor Man's John Malkovich isn't the guy behind the guy behind the guy that we all suspected he was last week, but instead has turned out to be some mid-level henchgeezer. Rough gig for a guy who looks to be well into his fifties. He leaves his men to it. As they untie Curtis's limp form from the chair it's been sitting in (without shooting him first, which I don't get), they exposit that the bodies of AIIIEEEE!sha and the other two agents are already "in the van." They start dragging the unconscious Curtis towards the door. But what they don't know until too late is that Curtis isn't unconscious. Using his superior size, strength, and some super-secret-agent beatdown moves we haven't previously seen from him, he overpowers both his captors, killing them both with his bare hands and even doing some structural damage to the surrounding walls in the process. Note to self: do not piss off Curtis. He's very sweaty now. He picks up a dropped gun and starts prowling the hallways looking for a way out.
Back at Grayadder's hotel, that gentleman is using his laptop to pull up the records of Galaxy Financial Services, the company he owns that owns the TerrorHideout. Grayadder explains that he was about to break up the company, but then someone named Harris Barnes came in with an offer to buy a controlling share. Kiefer of course wants to know who Harris Barnes is, but Grayadder doesn't know; he's pretty hands-off with his thirty-odd companies, and a lot of deals get put together through his attorneys. Kiefer is skeptical, and loudly and threateningly so, until DoDder nervously interrupts to say that Grayadder might be telling the truth. Kiefer looks pretty pissed at her for messing with his interrogation. The married people share a look of their own. Kiefer turns away to use his cell phone at 5:10:29. He gets through to Special Agent Breck and asks her to run a search on Harris Barnes. She says she'll get back to him. Kiefer hangs up and tells the others, "I'll be right back," and slams the door to the biffy behind him. Finally; it's been at least ten hours since the guy got to take a slash. Maybe he'll be in a better mood when he comes out. "Your boyfriend is just a thug with a badge," Grayadder mutters to DoDder. Rather than pointing out that Kiefer didn't even have a badge until that morning, she angrily demands to know why his name is on the TerrorHideout's lease. "Unbelievable," he says. "An hour ago I was sitting here felling sorry for myself because you didn't want me back. And now I see what an incredible asshole you are." Or at least that's how I'd finish that sentence. Instead, Grayadder says, "And now you think I'm a terrorist." I like my sentence better.
