After Palmer accuses him of endangering
Elizabeth Nash, Jack begs the candidate to keep
his security at high alert because two other
suspects are still at large. Knowing that Alexis
Drazen was going to make a payoff to the
intercepted caller, Jack has his CTU agents
search the room for money. They find a stack of
bearer bonds, and Jack goes to California Plaza
to meet with the unidentified man.
Tony informs Mason that Teri and Kim are still
missing after the CTU agents were killed trying to
protect them. Mason again orders Tony not to tell
Jack about his family.
Kim and Rick search Dan's room for information
that could help her find Teri. Kim realizes that
Rick has not let on to his girlfriend, Melanie, that
Dan is dead.
Dr. Phil Parslow fills Teri in on the details of her
life that she can't remember. He had met her
when she separated from Jack. Parslow had
wanted more of a relationship, but Teri decided
to reconcile with her husband. Although Parslow
insists on taking Teri to a hospital, she flatly
refuses. He agrees to examine her at the
restaurant.
Palmer plays the Carl confession tape for Sherry
and Mike Novick. Palmer threatens to leak the
tape to the media, but Sherry wants him to
destroy it. She believes that it will only hurt
Palmer's candidacy. Novick suggests that they
keep it under wraps for now. He is certain that
Palmer can use it to his advantage once he
becomes President. The evidence incriminates
some of the most powerful men in the country,
and having it over their heads will only prevent
them from controlling Palmer.
Jack calls Tony and inquires about his family.
Tony quickly hands off the phone to Mason,
insisting that he tell Jack the truth. When Jack
asks for the number to the safe house, Mason
says that the women are sleeping soundly.
In the car on the way to California Plaza, Nina
briefs Jack about her conversation with his wife.
Because Teri still loves him, Nina encourages
Jack to phone her. Jack calls CTU and gets the
safe house number.
Mason denies Tony's request for extra manpower
to find Teri and Kim. Since Nina is off with Jack
and not at CTU, Mason implies that perhaps they
are still having an affair. He wonders whether
Nina is actually a distraction because she has
been with both Jack and Tony.
Palmer explains to Keith the severity his
releasing the confession tape to the authorities.
Keith is confident that it is the right thing to do
because he was so afraid of coming forward
about Lyle Gibson's murder a few years ago. Had
he told the truth then, he would not be in this
predicament. Palmer assures his son that he is
there for him.
Andre Drazen calls Jovan Myovic looking for his
brother, Alexis. Myovic does not know where
Alexis is. Since he still can't find Teri and Kim,
Myovic will wait outside the Bauer home.
Kim calls everyone she can think of, but no one
has heard from Teri. Melanie insists that Kim
leave before Dan's brother, Frank, comes to the
house. Rick gives Kim money so that she can
take a cab to a safe place. Kim thanks him for his
help in saving her, and they kiss. Suddenly,
Frank enters and asks where Dan is. Frank, who
is looking for his money from his brother, orders
Kim to stay until Dan arrives.
As he and Nina set up security for the meeting,
Jack learns that an agent named Teddy Hanlin is
assigned to be his backup. Hanlin, who blames
Jack for arresting his ex-partner for bribes,
remarks that he may be worried about target
confusion. "I'd hate to take down one of the
'good' guys by mistake," Hanlin says caustically.
Jack warns him not to obscure the mission.
Tony is notified of a police report that a now-
missing woman matching Teri's description was
involved in a traffic accident. He posts an agent
to the Bauer house.
Dr. Parslow examines Teri and finds that,
although someone has roughed her up, there is
no evidence of trauma to her head that would
cause amnesia. She tells him that she is having
pains in her lower abdomen. For some reason,
she knows that she is afraid of going to a hospital
and Teri begs Parslow to take her home.
Sherry watches as Palmer gives a manila
envelope to campaign manager Patty Brooks.
Patty locks the envelope into a safe. Sherry
discreetly opens up the safe and sees that the
envelope addressed to the District Attorney
contains Keith's secret microcassette. When
Palmer looks in the safe, Sherry admits to
destroying the tape. "It breaks my heart that I
was right," Palmer says to his wife. He had
planted a phony tape in the safe to see just how
far she would go. Sherry says that she would do
anything to protect her family. Palmer is furious,
and orders Mike Novick to set up a press
conference within the hour.
Jack and Nina set up their agents around
California Plaza to guard him. As he targets his
rifle in position, Teddy Hanlin taunts Jack about
the suicide of his partner's wife. Nina calls Mason
and explains the problem Hanlin is causing.
Mason gets conferenced into the radio and warns
Hanlin to bury whatever problem he has with
Jack.
As shooter Jovan Myovic waits outside the Bauer
house, a CTU agent arrives to check out the
grounds. Meanwhile, Dr. Parslow drives Teri
towards her home.
Kim and Rick grow fearful of Frank's impending
drug deal with the supposed money Dan and
Rick would have made from Gaines. Kim tries to
plead with Rick to turn his life around. Rick,
however, only wants to get through this Frank
ordeal without getting caught.
At California Plaza, Jack spots the man in the red
baseball cap and acknowledges the briefcase of
money he is holding. The man calls Jack
"Alexis." Jack has him spell out that the plan is to
shut off the power grid for five minutes at 7:30
p.m. Suddenly, the man becomes suspicious of
Jack and bolts. Jack chases him, and Hanlin
notifies the team that he has a clear shot to clip
the fleeing man. Jack warns Hanlin not to shoot,
but Hanlin fires anyway. The man's body crashes
through a glass railing and falls to the ground.
Jack yells at Hanlin for disobeying his orders.
Jovan Myovic, who has murdered the CTU agent
guarding the Bauer house, sees Dr. Parslow and
Teri arrive. |
