Back at CTU, Mole Two: Electric Boogaloo is sitting at her Dell computer -- because villains always use PCs and good guys always use Macs -- preparing something treacherous, no doubt. Xander comes up behind her and asks if she's heard anything from Kiefer. Nina lies and says no. Or maybe she is telling the truth. I forget. Soul Patch calls out from across the room the news that highway patrol has picked up Spawn. Xander crosses over to Soul Patch's desk to take the call from the state trooper. He asks to speak to Spawn himself. Spawn is handed a phone in the patrol car backseat, where she is shivering in a blanket. Spawn warns Xander that Kiefer needs to know she's no longer captive, because he's headed for the Scooby Docks, where the Drazens have laid a trap for him. Xander asks her where the Drazens were hiding out. Of course Spawn doesn't know, so she puts him back on with State Trooper and Xander gets the info from him. Xander tells Soul Patch and Nina to get a couple of tactical units down to the Scooby Docks pronto. He also tells State Trooper to bring Spawn into CTU ASAP.
Meanwhile, the SeasonFinaleKiefmobile has reached the Scooby Docks with the smoldering one at the wheel. He gets a gun out of an aluminum case that also has a first aid kit inside it. That's not Nina's care package, is it? He lost that hours ago. Did the Drazens just give him a van with guns inside it? They are so stupid! Kiefer approaches the warehouse in a really sneaky way -- well, with the exception of those four or five minutes when he stands on a pier right under the streetlight and stares at the warehouse until his cell phone rings. He hides behind a pole and takes the call. It's FATB. Of course. He vants to know vot's taking so long. Kiefer tells him that he just got there. FATB asks Kiefer where he is. Kiefer refuses to divulge his location until FATB lets him speak to his daughter. FATB tries to stall him. Damn, I can't believe that we weren't just treated to a hilarious scene where FATB tries to imitate Spawn's voice in order to konvince Kiefer that they still had Spawn. FATB tries to threaten Kiefer some more and informs him that they know Palmer's not really dead. Kiefer says he won't meet them until he speaks to his daughter. They hang up. FATB tells TerrorHopper that Kiefer is not koming. But TerrorHopper assures FATB that Kiefer will, in fact, kome. Okay, what's with all this Drusilla-esque clairvoyance coming from Dennis Hopper? I mean, is he supposed to have powers, or is this just a detail placed there to freak us out a little? Because it's not working.
