Sure enough, the music takes on a minor key as behind him and to one side, a sinister-looking figure comes and sits down. Don't worry, it's only Tony. This is really a small town, isn't it? Still, Kiefer isn't too happy to see him. "I told you I was going to follow up on a lead," Tony reminds Kiefer. As they talk while not looking at each other, just a couple of shady-looking tourists taking in the sights, Kiefer points out that Tony said he was going to turn himself in after this was over. "And I will," Tony says, "but this ain't over yet." See? "There's gonna be another attack. Here in D.C." Kiefer doesn't think that's very likely with Dubaku and his network out of action. "It's not Dubaku," Tony interrupts. "It's his boss, Juma." He says that Juma has a plan to rally his people by striking back at the U.S. Excuse me, I've seen Juma's army. He could rally them by promising them Happy Meals. Kiefer's skeptical, and still very, very pissy, but Tony insists that he talked to a source, a guy from Emerson's crew who is in direct contact with the Juma regime. "It wasn't easy getting the information out of him," Tony says, "but I'm convinced it's accurate." Kiefer tells him to bring it to the FBI, then, but Tony tells him "The window opens at 1900 hours." Which he says is too soon for the FBI to mobilize. Tony has to admit that he doesn't know the target. "But it's definitely going to be of high value and high impact." Oh, shit, Madame Tussaud's is doomed! Tony also has a name: Ryan Burnett. The same Burnett who's been working with Dubaku, you think? The name is also familiar to Kiefer: "Senator Mayer's chief of staff." Wow, that's a coincidence. But Tony's sure that Mayer himself isn't involved. "You better not be lying to me, Tony," Kiefer grumps. Tony looks at him and insists that it's real. Kiefer says that Burnett will be on Dubaku's list, which means he's going to start running as soon as he hears about Dubaku's capture. "I've already got a tail on him," Tony says, and asks Kiefer to meet him at the corner of First and Constitution if he's on board. Putting on his sunglasses -- because there's not much time left for him to justifiably wear them -- he pauses to put a hand on Kiefer's shoulder and say, "I need your help."
Splitscreen. Kiefer cogitates, Burnett works in his office, Moss makes a speech to his troops, Sean sweats in holding, and Dubaku continues to lie on his hospital bed while Walker watches. Shouldn't someone be worried about her being the only FBI presence where a suspect is in critical condition? She doesn't exactly have the best history in that department.
