Kiefer and Walker have a whispered argument about his wanting to pull her out and her not wanting to be pulled. She insists she's fine, and "if we stop this now, then everything I have done is for nothing." Speaking of things she's done, Vladimir comes stomping up, impatient to get started. Walker assures Kiefer, "It'll be worth it." As Kiefer follows them to the back office, he can't help noticing that Vladimir has his hand on Walker's ass. I assume that's not what she meant.
Back at CTU, it's 10:08:32 and I can only assume Hastings' little meeting is already over. If it's not, Dana's skipping it and I don't see Hastings appreciating that. Dana goes into an empty interview room and calls Kevin on her cell, while pulling up schematics and live video from the evidence lockup. She tells them to go now, and watches them on the monitor as they cross from the van to the security door. If that monitor is showing them on her video screen now, won't it also show them later, when the crime is investigated? I know, I should relax; Dana is obviously way smarter than I am. Into Kevin's borrowed CTU earpiece, Dana tells him to use the key card and the code 1668. Kevin tries it twice and fails, but Nick manages it. Probably because the number stuck in Nick's head is the last year of the Portuguese War of Restoration. There's a quiet motion alarm beeping as they enter, but Dana tells them it'll stop shortly, and warns them, "If you want the $120,000, you will be out of there in less than twenty minutes." She sends them down the hallway to the last door on the left, whose entry code is 4660. A moment later, Kevin and Nick are inside a big room divided into big, fenced-in pens, with shelves of evidence behind them. "It's like Christmas with chain-link," Kevin says, although he seems like the kind of guy for whom that statement would be redundant. He asks Dana where the money is. Dana tells them to find section 3101, which they'll enter using the access code 2824. "Last one on the left," she reminds them. Eventually Nick finds a gate, but the code doesn't work -- that's because they're trying to get into 3110. It must be so reassuring to Dana to see that she's in league with morons. "What is wrong with you two?" she asks. Speaking slowly, as if to a complete imbecile (which in fact she is), she redirects them to 3101 and they get inside. Then they have to find bin 4301. "Man, it's too many numbers," Nick mutters, which is the first line he's gotten on this show. Awesome. Kevin finds a bag, and Nick rips it open to find some fat bricks of cash inside. Dana tells them to get out of there. "The next patrol is in less than fifteen minutes. You've got the money. Close the doors and leave." Kevin happily acknowledges, and hangs up. But Nick isn't ready to leave yet -- he wants to root through the goodies some more. After all, Dana said they have fifteen minutes. Dana leaves the newly christened CTU Robbery Ops Center at 10:12:03, unaware that her accomplices are even stupider than she feared.
