After the other end of the phone goes silent, Jack
calls out for Robert Ellis. In New Orleans, an
unseen killer rummages through Ellis' belongings
looking for clues. The person then hangs up Ellis'
cell phone, disconnecting Jack. Ellis lies dead on
the floor of the restroom. At CTU, Milo briefs Jack
about the three possible shooters he uncovered.
One of them is Alexis, Victor Drazen's son who
had been trained in Belgrade's special forces.
Meanwhile, Elizabeth Nash phones her lover,
Alexis, with news that Senator Palmer changed
his travel plans. The campaign staff is remaining
in Los Angeles. They agree to meet at 4:30.
Jack phones the safe house to speak to Teri. He
had sensed in their last conversation that
something was wrong, but when he asks her
about it, Teri avoids revealing anything.
Milo forwards the photos of the suspected
assassins to the Secret Service, and Agent
Pierce shows them to the assembled Palmer
campaign team. Elizabeth reacts when she
realizes that Alexis is possibly a killer. Palmer
goes to her, concerned.
Nina questions Kim about Rick's involvement in
the kidnapping, but Kim defends him as a helper
to their escape. Although Nina suspects that she
has developed Stockholm Syndrome for her
kidnapper, Kim claims she does not know where
Rick is. Teri finishes her prematurely ended
interrogation with Nina, saying that she absolves
her of blame for having a relationship with Jack.
When Nina suggests that Kim may have
developed feelings for Rick, Teri abruptly denies
the assessment.
Jack is brought to Palmer. Palmer immediately
accuses Jack of wanting him dead because of a
failed mission in Kosovo called Operation
Nightfall. Jack makes it clear that the assassins
had kidnapped his own family, and all of his
actions were an effort to not only save Palmer
himself but Teri and Kim as well.
Palmer notifies Jack that Elizabeth Nash had
been conducting an intimate relationship with
Alexis Drazen, and Jack sends a helicopter to
pick her up for questioning. Jack lets Palmer
know that he lost contact with Robert Ellis. He
assumes that Ellis is dead.
Kim calls Rick, and explains that although Nina is
pushing her to confess, she is covering for him.
Rick cuts short their conversation when a girl
named Melanie enters his room.
Nina once again attempts to glean information
from Teri, but Teri is abrasive about the Jack
situation. Nina gives up her questioning, and
suggests that another agent finish the
interrogation with Teri.
Deputy Director George Mason arrives at CTU to
tell Jack that he is his new supervisor. Alberta
Green was sent to District with Ryan Chapelle.
Mason brings up the Drazen connection, and
Jack explains that Palmer is a target because he
chaired the subcommittee that authorized the
mission to kill Victor Drazen. Jack also informs
him that Robert Ellis may be dead, and that a
member of Palmer's advance team is involved
with Alexis Drazen. Mason suggests that they
just arrest Alexis, but Jack is insistent that they
question Elizabeth Nash first and allow her to
help lure in Alexis.
Palmer promises Keith that, although he hasn't
been a good father in the past, he will be there
for him in the future. Yet when Keith inquires
about telling the police the suspicions
surrounding George Ferragamo's death, Palmer
admits that they have decided to hold off for the
time being. Keith jumps to the conclusion that his
father is merely putting his campaign ahead of
anything else.
Outside the safe house, the man who pretended
to be an FBI agent at the clinic phones Andre
Drazen. The man, whose name is Jovan Myovic,
has killed the CTU agents guarding the safe
house. He assures Andre that he will soon get to
Teri and Kim.
When Jack tries unsuccessfully to log into his
computer, Milo tells him that his security access
has been downgraded. Milo hooks him up with a
temporary entry onto the network. Jack asks if
Milo has noticed anyone acting strangely at CTU.
He fears that there is another traitor inside the
agency.
Keith angrily talks to Carl on the phone, but
agrees to meet him at the Griffith Park
Observatory. He enlists his sister Nicole to help
him slip out from the Secret Service agents. She
creates a diversion, and Keith exits the hotel
suite unnoticed.
When Elizabeth Nash arrives at CTU, she tells
Mason and Jack that she met Alexis in a bar.
Jack brings up the possibility of her planting a
tracking device on Alexis, but Elizabeth is uneasy
about ever seeing the man again. Yet faced with
the prospect of something happening to Senator
Palmer, Elizabeth agrees to play the spy for
them.
At the safe house, CTU Agent Paulson runs
through mug shots with Teri and Kim. He notices
that they both exhibit some awkwardness when
Eli's face comes up on the screen, but Kim
quickly replies that she knows nothing about him.
Unbeknownst to them, Jovan Myovic, the
shooter, enters the safe house and kills one of
the agents.
Agent Paulson continues to debrief the women,
but Teri's exhaustion causes her to lose focus.
The events of the day, both physical and
emotional, are taking their toll on her. Agent
Paulson gives them a minute alone, and goes
into another room. When he sees that none of
the other agents are at their posts, he grows
suspicious and hides Teri and Kim in a closet.
Paulson trains his gun on Myovic, who comes out
with his hands raised. As Paulson approaches
Myovic, a second shooter named Mishko
appears and grabs Paulson from behind. Myovic
picks up his gun, but before he can kill Paulson,
he hears a noise. Teri and Kim run to the garage
and get in the car. The shooters hear this and go
after them, firing as the car pulls away. Paulson
gets up and kills Mishko. Myovic shoots Paulson,
and then chases Teri and Kim with another car.
At CTU, Milo gives Jack the news that Ellis' body
was found. Jack is surprised when Nina arrives
back at CTU since he specifically asked her to
watch his family. She tells him that there was no
reason for her to stay because Teri and Kim are
safe.
Myovic follows Teri and Kim into the hills. When
she thinks she's lost him, Teri pulls over at the
side of a hill. She gets out to look for him, leaving
Kim alone in the car. Suddenly, the dirt
underneath gives way and the car goes crashing
down the cliff. It explodes into flames. Teri
watches, horrified at the thought of Kim dying in
the crash. She becomes dizzy and faints.
At the Griffith Observatory, Keith angrily attacks
Carl, demanding justice for George Ferragamo's
death. Carl suggests that a lie to incriminate
Keith could surface if he goes public with the
truth about Ferragamo. Keith counters with a
threat about exposing Carl to the money men
behind Palmer's campaign. Then Carl tells him
that there is evidence in the Ferragamo fire that
will frame Keith for the murder. Carl warns Keith
to back off. When Carl leaves, Keith pulls out a
tape recorder -- he has taped their whole
conversation.
When he can't find the women, Myovic gives up
the search. Teri wakes up, dazed. A young
woman named Tanya drives up in a car. She
asks Teri if she is all right. Teri, however, can't
even remember her own name. Tanya offers to
give her a ride, and with no other option, Teri
accepts.
Near the crash site, Kim wakes up on the side of
the hill. She is bruised, but alive. She sees the
smoke from the nearby car from which she
escaped before it went up into flames. Kim looks
around the empty road, and calls out for her
mother. |
