McDermott and Foreman, who claimed to be FBI agents, interrogated Talcott Garland (Grantham Coleman) about Lisa and inquired about his meeting with Jack Ziegler. However, Talcott later uncovered that they were not actually from the FBI.

When someone shouted in panic that there was someone inside the car, it can be assumed that it was McDermott, who had been waiting for Talcott and met an unfortunate end.

Talcott was up to something when he had decided to meet McDermott. However, his alleged death could pause Talcott's investigation temporarily since he can no longer know why Lisa was a person of interest to McDermott's client.
