Finally, the Finale

Present. Tommy waits in the little girl's house. Her dad, tied up, gets himself free and retrieves a gun from under the bed. The girl's mother walks in. Tommy meets her at the door. "Georgia, get down!" her husband says, shooting from the top of the stairs. Shots are exchanged. Tommy grabs the woman.

Rebecca, having now gotten an address out of the little girl, shows up with Hauser and assorted cops. They find the dad at the top of the stairs, wounded but alive.

Tommy's been wounded, too. He's in a bathroom somewhere while Georgia stitches up a gash in his leg with what looks like dental floss. Mm, minty fresh. She cries, but manages to do a fine job. "You're going to have to see a real doctor," she says. "Nah, just stitch it up," he tells her. "Trust me, it'll heal."

Dawn, the next day. Hauser meets with a military guy in a spiffy little private plane somewhere. They shake hands and greet each other like they're maybe friends, or maybe used to be. I can't tell the guy's rank from his camo, but given that he's using he must be pretty important to be using a private plane as an office. That, or he thinks he's Oliver Queen on Smallville. Hauser asks the guy to get him a meeting with Harlan Simmons and explains about Tommy Madsen. "Does this mean the Warden is back?" Mr. Military asks. Hauser promises to ask Tommy just that, but Mr. Military can't get him an audience with Harlan. He hands over an envelope - "The documents you requested." They're new IDs and passports for Lucy. Mr. Military offers to get Lucy to Paraguay under the guise of working on some aquifer project. He also orders Hauser to brief his team. Thank you.

Hub. Lucy, Rebecca and Doc try to connect the dots. Somehow, everything keeps coming back to Harlan and they don't know why. Hauser shows up with the answers and brings them into the sub-hub, or, as an awed Doc calls it, "the Batcave behind the Batcave." Hauser shows them the two big keys and tells them about the "old Civil War dungeons" they're digging out under the lighthouse. They need a third key to open the door they've uncovered. Nothing else will apparently open the door. Have they tried lasers? I bet lasers would open it. "The keys belonged to the warden," Hauser says. "Warden James?" Doc asks. No, some other warden who's never been mentioned. Duh. Hauser says Tommy Madsen may be working for Warden James. Apropos of nothing, I find Sam Neill's acting choices to be uncomfortably of the David Caruso variety. All the odd head angles and stiff-necked posing. Maybe he needs a chiropractor.
