At the Capitol reflecting pool, Renee and Jack approach Larry. Larry gets his boner back and looks all kinds of relieved to see Zombie Spice. They stare longingly into each other's eyes and Larry states he never thought he'd see her again. They stare and stare and stare and Larry actually smiles for the first time today! Jack comes up to interrupt the reunion, reminding them about the "saving the world" thing and those phone records. Larry tells them that over the last three hours, Gedge had been talking repeatedly to Agent Edward Vossler. He elaborates that Vossler is ex special forces and served two years in Sangala. Bingo! They ask if he brought Vossler's files, and Larry hands them over to Renee. Jack inquires about Vossler's family, and Larry looks confused. Renee informs him Vossler is married to some paralegal and they have an 11 month old son. Jack decides they need to split up and try to use his family against him. The threat to the family is the only way to get an ex special forces dude to talk (Jack has experience with this: See Seasons 1 - 6!). Larry says absolutely NOT! Renee seems skeptical too. She thinks it's crossing a line. Jack reminds her she already crossed a line with her torture of Tanner. Renee makes the distinction that Tanner was a murderer but the wife and small child are innocent. Cheney Jack sternly lectures them about trying to "follow the rules" when dealing with terrorists who have absolutely no interest in playing along. He tells them they can either phone the president and say "Hey, sorry...our conscience won't allow us to do what's necessary" or just do what's necessary. Pick one! To Larry's chagrin, Renee chooses jack's side and heads out to find the family of Vossler. Jack starts heading for Larry's vehicle and Larry admonishes him to "look at himself!" Larry pulls the old "You've lost everything you had and loved" and he won't let Renee follow along the same path. Jack says "Are you going to give me your keys or not." ha. Larry gets an angry face and throws his keys at Jack. Larry calls after Jack to remind him "The rules are what makes us better." Jack's response: "Not today" before running away.

In the grocery basement, the Baddies continue to watch soccer while Dubaku checks news reports on Sangala. A henchman informs him he can't stop the President's bleeding. Dubaku's advice: Cauterize the wound with a blowtorch, but be sure to put something in his mouth to keep the screaming to a minimum...mm'kay? Man...that Dubaku keeps upping his bad-ass quotient week to week. I really wish they'd give him a decent ride or something. The sociopath stuff loses some of it's oomph coming from a borderline homeless immigrant. Dubaku immediately shifts gears, accepting a call from his lil' girlfriend Marika with a smile. Holy Crap! First Larry, now Dubaku? How are we supposed to keep the bad-asses and hard-asses on the show straight if they keep showing their "softer" sides? Anyway, Marika left work to attend to one of her sister's "episodes." Dubaku accuses her of being manipulated by her Sis, and she tells him to "be kind." He tells her she's kind enough for both of them. I doubt that! He'd need Mother Theresa as a girlfriend to offset the gaping black hole where his heart should be. She asks again if he's coming to dinner, and he tells her he can't but leaves out that he's busy being an international terrorist, killing people, and torturing the President's husband. Instead, he tells her he's busy with work. She is disappointed, and says she'll make extra just in case he changes his. he calls her "baby" and it's all mushy and sweet. He tells her she's too good for him, and she says "You're right", they both hang up smiling.
