Transcript

Erika: Tanner’s lawyers are filing a complaint against the Bureau. (Larry opens file and calls Renee Walker)
Renee Walker: (Answering cell phone) Walker.
Larry Moss: Renee, it’s me.
Renee Walker: I’m less than fifteen minutes away from Matobo’s house. When I get there, I’ll recon for the tac team.
Larry Moss: Stop a second.
Renee Walker: What?
Larry Moss: This information about Matobo being abducted. Tell me how you got it.
Renee Walker: You know how I got it. I questioned Tanner.
Larry Moss: You questioned him?
Renee Walker: Yeah.
Larry Moss: Tanner’s lawyers are saying you locked them out of his hospital room… then cut off his ventilator. They said you applied pressure to his gunshot wound.
Renee Walker: We needed Almeida’s location. Tanner was not about to cooperate.
Larry Moss: So you tortured him. What the hell were you thinking?
Renee Walker: I got the information we needed.
Larry Moss: Information that may not even be valid. You know as well as I do, coercive interrogation is unreliable.
Renee Walker: No, Tanner was not lying.
Larry Moss: You know that? How do you know he wasn’t telling you what you wanted to hear?
Renee Walker: I’ll find out when I get to Matobo’s house.
Larry Moss: You’re not going to Matobo’s. You’re coming back here to the office. The Attorney General is sending somebody here. You’re gonna tell ‘em everything that happened.
Renee Walker: What? Larry, it’s my fault that Bauer and Almeida are still at large. Please let me play this out. I will deal with the consequences after we find the C.I.P. device.
Larry Moss: No. The field team is on the way. They can handle this. Renee, get back here now.
Renee Walker: I’m sorry, Larry, but I need to make this right. (Renee hangs up the phone and shuts it off)
Larry Moss: Renee? (whispering to himself) Damn it. Oh, my god…
