Jack of course interrupts and saves them, while Marilyn asks what they want with Josh. Jack, confused for once, tells them to follow him and they all run off. He leads them upstairs to a room with a large heating duct fan. He shoves his gun into it and stops the blades from spinning, then shoves Josh into the heating ducts. Marilyn is just about to follow him, when the bad guys burst in and start shooting. They make Jack put the guns down, then radio back to Asian Mike that Josh got away, but they have his mother and Jack. Jack and Marilyn are sent down to the main room, while Josh continues to crawl around the ducts. Poor kid.
Downstairs, Caucasian Mike is calling. Asian Mike looks at a computer to find out that Nadia is in fact in charge, then calls for her to come over to him. Nadia hesitates yet again, and I half expect Morris to stand up and say that he is Nadia Yasser. But eventually she comes, stepping around Milo's corpse as she does so. He tells her to talk to Mike and tell him that there was a problem with the communications system, and that everything is fine now. Which makes me wonder, if Asian Mike needed the Director to make that call, why did he shoot Milo in the first place? Again, Team China needs to work on their planning skills.
Nadia gets on the horn with Mike and tells him that there was a problem but it's fixed now. Mike starts to yell at her, asking why they don't have anything more on Cheng, but she makes up some bullshit answers and is able to get rid of him. But Mike looks suspicious.
"Did I sit in something wet?"
Jack and Marilyn are brought into the main room. Asian Mike picks up the PA system and tells Josh that they're not going to hurt him, they're only going to take him to a safe place. Marilyn yells out for him, so Asian Mike goes on to tell Josh that if he doesn't show himself by the count of ten, he's going to shoot her. He begins to count, and Josh starts crawling as fast as those little nubs can carry him. Somewhere between nine and ten, Josh yells out and one of the goons says he can hear him. Asian Mike radios over to Cheng and tells him that they have the boy.
Time for the Fuck You! (By the way, Lisa and Mark Bishop are totally doing it, as we see in the split screen.) Cheng calls up the Elder Bauer and tells him that they have his grandson. Cheng thanks him for the CTU security codes, then asks if he's done repairing the circuit board. Phillip says he's almost done, and he will give it to him when they bring his grandson. Cheng says they'll meet at the rendezvous point. Phil says to call back when he can talk to Josh. What the hell is so special about Josh? He's got a diamond shoved up his ass? He's the final Cylon? He's the only elf that shows promise in the field of dentistry? What?!
So yeah, that's it. As I said before, I thought this entire episode was rather predictable, with the exception of the very end, with Milo's death and the kidnapping of L'il Kim. I have to say I'm not all that broken up about Milo. I know he has some fans out there, but he always annoyed me and his sniveling ways were really becoming unbearable. That said, he served our country well. Or something. Thoughts? Comments? Would you know Milo's name if you saw him in heaven?
Farewell, Milo. I'll miss your greasy hair, your pubic moustache, and your incessant whining.

Thanks Screampillar for a great recap. I don't think I have laughed out loud at a recap since the boys abandoned the tvgasm ship. I love the "fuck you door" pic.
I'm with you - what is so special about the kid? GrandBauer is seriously obsessed with controling him.
I'm just glad this season is almost over. I can't figure out where this is going.

I think they brought Milo back this season so they'll have a familiar character to kill. If Zachary Quinto is killed in Heroes, maybe he'll be back in 24 next season to get killed like Milo.

Yay! Milo is dead! It would have been funnier though if the Chinese dude shot him in the chin first.
