Agreed. Last night was outstanding. I was surprised to see Mike Novac resurface. I figured he was out of politics when he was fired by Palmer.
After watching that episode though I decided that we should all lay the ground rules with our wives etc. for what to do if you are captured while working to maintain national security. If you can't handle keeping your mouth shut while watching someone get tortured, don't wait until the third bullet. If you are going to cave anyways, do it quickly. He was obviously willing to risk everything to spare his wife so "I love you too much to watch you get shot a fourth time, honey", might not be of much consolation.
