Gaines and his men search the woods for the
Bauers. Teri and Kim head for the water tower
alone, with Jack and Rick not far behind.
At CTU, Nina is worried because she can't get
through to Jack. Tony comforts her. Alberta
Green informs them that Jamey Farrell's mother
had received $300,000 over the last four months.
She wants Nina and Tony to question the woman
when she comes to pick up Jamey's son.
Palmer and Mike Novick argue about how to
proceed after George Ferragamo's death.
Palmer wants to spill everything to network
anchor Maureen Kingsley before confessing to
the District Attorney. Novick, however, wants to
gather all the facts first before they act. He
convinces Palmer to consult with Sherry.
Gaines explains the situation to Andre Drazen,
who orders Gaines to deliver Jack's dead body.
Kevin Carroll tells Gaines that Jack had sent his
coordinates to someone, and that they should
expect the government to arrive very soon. He
suggests that they just leave. Gaines informs him
that the Drazens will eventually find them. The
only way for them to stay alive is to kill Jack.
Jack and Rick arrive at the water tower, but Teri
and Kim are not there. Forced to take another
route to avoid Gaines' men, Teri and Kim get lost
in the woods.
Palmer speaks to Sherry about Ferragamo, and
she agrees with Mike Novick's assessment to not
reveal anything. Palmer and his campaign will
suffer if he tries to take on Carl and the men he
works for. Sherry believes that once Palmer
becomes President, he will have the kind of
power it takes to make a difference. Not only will
he be able to fight Carl and his people but he'll
also be able to help millions of Americans.
With still no sign of Teri and Kim, Jack calls
Alberta Green to inform her of the complication in
plans and his intention to go back and look for
them. Green sends in reinforcements to pick
them up at the water tower.
Teri and Kim find an abandoned miner's cabin
and hide out inside. One of Gaines' men comes
upon the cabin, but is called away by Gaines
before he spots the women. Just when they think
the coast is clear, the man sees the women in
the cabin, but Jack appears and shoots the man
dead. Jack grabs the dead man's walkie-talkie
and takes Teri and Kim to the water tower.
Nina and Tony question Erica Vasquez, Jamey's
mother, about the large sums of money in her
bank account. Jamey deposited them for her son
in case something ever happened to her. Mrs.
Vasquez says that Jamey never told her where
the money came from.
As Gaines tries to communicate with his men via
the walkie-talkie, Jack listens in and figures out
how to avoid them.
Palmer tries to come clean to Maureen Kingsley,
but she already knew about Ferragamo's death.
She left her network job because the people who
are trying to control Palmer had threatened her.
The evidence against Keith was destroyed in the
fire, and Kingsley is convinced that nothing will
stop these people from getting what they want.
Gaines finds the dead body of his man in the
miner's cabin. The radio is missing, and Gaines
knows that Jack has been listening to them.
Tony and Nina discover that the money was
transferred to Mrs. Vasquez from a holding
company based in Belgrade. Nina remembers
that Jack thought there might have been a
connection to Belgrade related to a previous
assignment. Although Nina had originally come
up with nothing, she and Tony dig deeper.
Jack, Teri and Kim come upon a lake across
from the water tower. There is no sign of CTU.
Kim grows impatient and starts to head toward
Rick in the water tower. Suddenly, a shot rings
out in their direction coming from Gaines.
Knowing that he is the primary target, Jack heads
towards Gaines alone. Gaines orders Kevin to
circle around and come at Jack from another
angle. Knowing that Jack can hear him, Gaines
taunts Jack. Gaines eventually pins Jack down
with a constant barrage of rifle fire. Jack finds a
piece of metal garbage in the woods, and uses
the glare from the reflection of the sun to blind
Gaines as he looks through his rifle scope. In that
brief moment, Jack breaks cover and fires,
grazing Gaines. The CTU chopper arrives
overhead. Kevin hears this and leaves.
Just before Palmer is about to confess to the
D.A. Carl shows up at the hotel suite. Carl lets on
that there may perhaps be something planted at
the Ferragamo fire that would incriminate Keith.
If Palmer comes out with the story to anyone,
Keith could find himself implicated in two
murders. With his back against a wall, Palmer
tells Novick that he has nothing to say to the D.A.
"I'm running for President," he declares. "And I'm
going to win." Palmer silently returns to his room.
Novick and Sherry trade looks.
The CTU chopper lands to pick up Teri and Kim.
Just as they are about to board the chopper, Kim
runs toward the water tower to get Rick. Teri
follows her, but Rick is nowhere to be found. He
has run off onto a nearby highway. In the woods,
Jack follows a trail of Gaines' blood. Gaines tells
him over the walkie-talkie that he has no other
option but to kill him. Jack asks about the
Belgrade connection and why his family was
brought into it. Gaines says that the people
involved wanted to make it personal. Jack comes
up behind Gaines and demands that he drop his
gun. Jack offers up immunity for his help. Gaines
turns around, still holding his weapon, and Jack
shoots him dead.
Jack returns to the water tower to pick up his
family. They all board the chopper en route to
safety. Rick, meanwhile, gets on a bus, hiding his
bloodied wounds from the other passengers.
Green relays the good news about Jack to Nina
and Tony. They inform her that they found
another wire transfer to an assassin from
Belgrade. This second hitman left Yugoslavia
earlier in the morning and is already in Los
Angeles. |
