It's 3PM in DC and we open our episode in the alley behind the Korean Grocery across from Dubaku's place. Renegade Secret Service agent Vossler delivers First Hubby (via the trunk of his car) to one of Dubaku's henchmen. That Dubaku has henchmen all over the city! I find myself confused that he can afford to put all these dudes on his payroll, but still can't afford decent transportation. Last week he took the metro and a bus, this week he's on a stroll through the city at a leisurely pace. Everyone has known for hours that he is behind the attacks. Why isn't there some kind of APB out on him and his picture plastered all over the place? I'm just sayin'!

"Mmmm...that Chai Latte was deee-licious! I wonder if I have time for a shoe shine before I go back to killing, maiming, and torturing people?"

Dubaku stops in front of a street meat vendor for a hot dog, but is distracted by a television set the vendor has in his cart. That's another "What The F*ck!" moment this week...when's the last time anyone saw a street vendor with a TV for their customers? At any rate, the set is playing a news conference starring President Taylor. She is informing the nation that the attack on the airlines and plant in Ohio were indeed acts of terrorism, but that the parties responsible are no longer a threat to America. She goes on to state that the order has been given to take down the Juma regime and reinstate the government of Prime Minister Ule Matobo. Before she can think to flash a picture of "the parties responsible" on the ol' tube, Dubaku walks away from the stand and moseys on over to the Grocery store. He enters without a word to the owner and trots down to the basement of the grocery store, which has a sweet rec-room set up where four of his henchmen are casually watching a soccer match and drinking beer. Who knew international terrorism was such a chill profession?! It seems a lot like blogging!

In the back room of the basement, Vossler is keeping an eye on the bound and gagged First Hubby. Dubaku tells him he did a great job, and Vossler mentions he has a shift starting at 4pm and needs to leave. Dubaku lets him go, and mentions his money will be wired to the "usual account" which suggests Vossler has been on the payroll for a while. Now there is officially no excuse for Vossler's horrendous haircut. Seriously. Super-Cuts is only $25 bucks!

Dubaku informs First Hubby that the room is sound-proof and that screaming for help will be futile, before ordering a henchman named Elimu to remove the gag. No sooner is First Hubby unmuzzled than he says "You Sonuvabitch! You were behind my son's death!" I love it when dignified people like the President or First Gentleman get so worked up they have to say "Sonuvabitch!"...it makes me feel better about my own potty mouth. Dubaku takes credit for Roger's death, and justifies it with "he was sticking his nose where it didn't belong." First Hubby, who must not realize how inept law enforcement has been all season, tells Dubaku that the good guys will be coming to save him any minute! Dubaku, who has been roaming our Nation's Capital freely all day and is therefore unafraid of said "good guys", tells him he should be concerned only with whether or not his wife loves him enough to call off the Sangalan intervention. He tells his Baddie Elimu to activate the "scrambling device" which I assume is for a phone call and not to prepare an omelette for their guest.
