Victor Rovner transmits from Kuala Lumpur,
Malaysia that a shooter is coming into town to
target Senator Palmer. Agent Richard Walsh, a
high ranking Counter Terrorist Unit (CTU) officer,
is alerted.
Senator David Palmer, an African-American
running for President, writes his speech for the
next day�s California primary election.
Jack Bauer plays chess with his daughter
Kimberly in their home. Before going to bed, she
tells him that she�s glad he moved back in. Jack
and his wife Teri go to her room to find she has
snuck out the window. Nina Myers, Jack�s chief-
of-staff at CTU, calls him into the office because
Richard Walsh is in town. Jack phones
Kimberly�s ex-boyfriend Vincent, but he doesn�t
know where she is.
Kimberly and her friend Janet York are on their
way to meet up with some guys named Dan and
Rick.
Jack arrives at CTU headquarters and calls his
wife to alleviate her fears. Turning back to work,
Jack gathers his team and suggests that perhaps
Senator Palmer is the reason they have been
called in. He asks them to start pulling together
information on the candidate. Along with Nina are
CTU employees Jamey Farrell and Tony
Almeida. Meanwhile, Kimberly and Janet arrive
at a furniture store where they meet the guys.
Jack asks a friend at the LAPD to keep a lookout
for his daughter. Walsh arrives and briefs Jack�s
team about an expected attempt on Palmer�s life.
Walsh privately tells Jack that there may be a
leak within CTU involved in the hit.
Martin Belkin, a foreign photographer, calls
Palmer campaign manager Patty Brooks from an
airplane bound for Los Angeles. He is scheduled
to meet Palmer for breakfast the next morning.
Mandy, the woman in the seat next to him,
overhears his conversation and asks about
Palmer.
Nina confronts Jack about not being included in a
meeting with District Director George Mason.
Jack does not tell her what the secrecy is about.
Teri calls to tell Jack that she found joints in
Kimberly�s desk. Jack apologizes for not being
there to help. In a heart-to-heart talk with Rick,
Kimberly lies and says that her father is dead.
Mason does not reveal to Jack what his source is
for the information on the Palmer case. Jack is
suspicious, and shoots Mason with a tranquilizer
gun to knock him out. Jack orders Nina to look up
the assets of convicted heroin dealer Phillipe
Darcet because he has always suspected that
Mason skimmed money from the bust. Jack
hopes to use that information to blackmail the
District Director.
Teri receives a call from Alan York, the father of
Kimberly�s friend Janet. He too is looking for his
daughter.
Jack requests that Nina get Tony to access the
Darcet files. Tony is suspect that Nina is doing
this because she is still sleeping with Jack. She
doesn�t give a straight answer, but convinces the
reluctant Tony to get her the information. Jack
asks Jamey to trace the passwords for the email
accounts on his home phone line. He informs
Teri that Kimberly�s password is LIFESUCKS.
On the plane, Mandy continues to grill Martin
flirtatiously. There is growing attraction between
them.
Senator Palmer gets a phone call from Maureen
Kingsley at the network. He gets angry at her
allegation, and avoids telling his wife Sherry what
was discussed.
Nina grows worried about Jack�s erratic behavior,
and she voices her concern that he is breaking
the law by tapping into private files. He says that
he will not compromise himself. Meanwhile, Teri
and Alan York decide to try to find the girls at an
address found in Kimberly�s email account.
Seeing her mother�s repeated calls on her cell
phone, Kimberly asks the guys to drive her
home.
Martin and Mandy make love in the airplane
bathroom. She asks if they can get together in
Los Angeles, but he replies that he will be "pretty
busy." At CTU, Tony sends to Jack the accessed
wire transfers on the Darcet account, and Jack
wakes Mason. He once again asks the District
Director who his source is, but this time shows
the incriminating Darcet transfers. Mason relents.
In the air, Mandy goes to the back of the plane
and knocks a flight attendant unconscious. She
takes out Martin's stolen identification and she
puts on a protective jumpsuit. She removes a
bomb from the plane's fire extinguisher and
detonates it. Mandy ejects herself from the cabin
within seconds of the plane's explosion,
parachuting to safety.
Teri speaks to Jack while driving with Alan York
to the Valley. When he loses contact with his
wife, Jack sets out to find her. Tony stops him
with news that a plane has blown up over the
Mojave Desert. Preliminary reports indicate that it
was bombed. While Dan drives the van with the
girls inside, he ignores Kimberly�s directions to
her house. For the first time she is afraid, and
she realizes that she may not be in control of the
situation. |
