He asks her about ImhoTerror again. She's still pleading ignorance. Soul Patch makes a big production of calling the AV guy into the interrogation room and saying, "I'm gonna need all video and audio monitoring in this room disconnected." The AV guy leaves to make it so. "I'm not a stupid woman," TerrorMom warns Soul Patch. "What are you trying to prove?" Soul Patch explains, very quietly, that he just doesn't want to be recorded. He waits, watching her. She turns and watches the red light on the surveillance camera go out, then turns back to Soul Patch and spits, "I don't believe you." Soul Patch thinks about that for a minute, then drags her to her feet and hauls her into the observation room, kicking everyone out as he does so. "Everyone, Erin," he says to the hanging-back Driscoll. She follows her staff out, leaving Soul Patch and TerrorMom alone in the observation room. He shoves her across the room roughly and presses her against the far wall with his arm across her throat. Jeez, Soul Patch, the lady just got shot today. You've been there. Cut her some slack. He yells at her that unless she starts talking, the deal to protect TerrorTeen is over, since Keeler isn't about to let a little thing like a pardon stand in the way of protecting the country. In case TerrorMom starts thinking that maybe her son might be able to hack incarceration, Soul Patch menaces, "Let me tell you, I know a little something about prison…I give TerrorTeen about three months before he commits suicide. By the way, I'll make it my personal mission to make sure that you never hear word one about what happens to him. Ever." He takes his hands off her and turns to go. She stops him with the confession that ImhoTerror is the boss of her cell. She doesn't know how many other cells report to him, but she knows that ImhoTerror "definitely" has the MacGuffin, since he's the only one capable of using it to stop the American programmers from preventing the meltdowns. Soul Patch asks where ImhoTerror is. "Somewhere downtown," she whispers. "The Rocklyn Building?" he says. She confirms it. Soul Patch goes to the nearest phone and tells Special Agent Breck to get Kiefer on the line for him. And then he leaves the room. I guess he'll talk to Kiefer on a different phone. Notice how he didn't have to brutalize any electrical appliances to get the information he wanted?
Outside the door, at 5:32:55, he tells the redshirt standing guard to put TerrorMom back in holding, and tells Driscoll that she confirmed ImhoTerror's location, as well as that of the MacGuffin. Driscoll announces that to everyone on the floor, along with a light sprinkling of technobabble. Meanwhile, Special Agent Breck has Kiefer on the phone for Soul Patch. Now that they know that ImhoTerror is in the house with the MacGuffin, Kiefer wants Castle and his men to plan a "low-profile assault" so as not to spook ImhoTerror into taking off with his prize. Soul Patch is on it. The other important thing we "learn" from this conversation is that the power plants are going to start melting down in about twenty minutes.
