Jonathon, the assassin surgically altered to
resemble photographer Martin Belkin, gathers his
photo equipment at the desert compound and
heads for the Palmer breakfast. Gaines leads
Jack, via the transmitter in his ear, to find a key
card that resembles the one Walsh gave him.
At CTU, Milo, the freelance contractor, gets
closer to decoding information on the assassin
on the real key card given by Walsh.
Palmer asks his son to stand beside him at the
breakfast when he announces to the press his
side of the story about the Gibson murder. Keith
accuses Palmer of always putting his career
before his family and shuns his father's request.
At the desert compound, Kimberly pleads with
Rick to help her escape. Although Gaines said
that he would release Rick, Kim knows Gaines
won't make good on that promise.
Jack arrives at CTU, and is immediately
questioned by Nina. He assures her,
unconvincingly, that his daughter is safe. When
she tells him that the body in the car has been
identified as Alan York, Jack is stunned. He
excuses himself from Nina to threaten Gaines
through the earpiece. Gaines, who has heard the
whole conversation with Nina, assures Jack that
Teri and Kimberly will be killed if he does not
follow his orders. Gaines then instructs Jack to
replace the key card that Milo is decoding with
the decoy card. As Jack figures out how to do
that, Gaines leaves a cell phone message for
Kevin (who is posing as Alan York).
In the car, Teri feigns sickness and asks "York"
to pull over. She runs into some nearby bushes.
Kevin sees his cell phone blinking, and he listens
to the scratchy message from Gaines that his
cover has been blown. He turns off the car and
follows Teri. Suddenly, she appears from behind
a bush and slams his head with a rock. Teri tries
to grab his car keys, but he tosses them over the
mountain. She hits him in the head again and
knocks him out cold.
Teri ties Kevin to a tree with a belt and with
jumper cables. She attempts to call for help, but
her cell phone is unable to get a signal.
Rick asks Gaines to pay him for his completed
job. Gaines doesn't let him leave the compound.
Jack realizes that Gaines has cameras set up
inside CTU and is able to see his every move. As
Milo gets closer to naming the shooter, Gaines
orders Jack to switch the key cards.
Palmer, meanwhile, talks to his daughter about
appearing at the breakfast. Although she is
worried for her brother, Nicole is even more
fearful about reopening past wounds.
Jack "accidentally" spills a cup at Milo's
workstation to set up a distraction so that he can
switch the key card in the computer.
Since the key card he is working on is a fake,
Milo runs into problems trying to decode it.
Jamey comes to the rescue with a solution.
Meanwhile Kevin, tied up and beat up, tells Teri
that if he doesn't deliver her, then Kimberly will
be killed. Teri is confused at what to do. She
again tries in vain to get her cell phone to pick up
service.
Gaines has Jack contact Palmer's Secret Service
detail to request clearance for the breakfast.
Rick delivers the news to Kimberly that Gaines
won't let him go. He makes a plan with her to
escape, but their secret conversation is
interrupted by Eli, another one of Gaines' thugs.
Kim reacts quickly, pulling Rick on top of her in
an embrace. She pretends that he is raping her,
and Eli leaves them alone. Rick tells Kim to meet
him outside later for their escape.
Milo figures out that he has been working with a
different key card, and he suspects that Jack
may have switched it when he came to his desk.
Nina confronts Jack about the key card
exchange, and offers to call Division if he does
not turn the original one over. Jack pulls a gun on
Nina, threatening her life. Gaines, through the
earpiece, tells Jack to get her out of the building.
Jack puts a jacket on Nina to hide the gun he has
at her back. He walks her outside to his car. Tony
stops them on the way out, and Jack tells him
they are on their way to an official jurisdiction
meeting.
Teri finally gets phone service, and she dials
Jack's cell phone. A hospital worker picks up the
ringing cell phone on the ground in the garage,
and Teri quickly realizes that something is wrong.
She then calls Nina at CTU, but Jamey picks up.
Teri pleads for help, explaining that both she and
Kimberly have been kidnapped. Jamey takes
down Teri's location and promises to send
someone to retrieve her.
Sherry asks Palmer about the possibility of
blackmailing network anchor Maureen Kingsley
into dropping the Keith murder story. Palmer is
reluctant to lie, but Sherry is motivated to save
both her son and her husband's candidacy.
Meanwhile, Rick leaves the barn where Kim is
being held, leaving the door unlocked. While Rick
distracts Eli, Kim escapes. Rick and Kim meet up
to make a run for the compound's fence.
Two men show up to help Teri, identifying
themselves as CTU agents. Yet when one starts
to untie Kevin, the other takes Teri hostage.
These men are not from CTU.
Tony asks Jamey about a supposed jurisdiction
meeting that Jack and Nina were headed to. She
does not know of the meeting, and with no phone
call from Nina, Tony grows worried. He asks
Jamey to pull the security footage from Jack's
office.
Jack has Nina drive the car, giving her directions
fed from Gaines through the earpiece. Nina starts
to suspect that everything Jack's been telling her
about his daughter's kidnapping and the mole
inside CTU may be false.
Jack has Nina stop the car at an empty industrial
area. Another car has followed them there. Under
Gaines' instructions, Jack takes Nina outside and
shoots her in the chest. Her body falls down an
embankment. The men in the second car confirm
for Gaines on video that Nina is dead.
As Kim and Rick dig their way underneath the
chain link fence to freedom, Teri is dragged into
the compound. Kim sees Teri and insists on
staying to help her mother. Kim aborts her
escape and returns to her "cell". Rick
begrudgingly follows.
Tony scans the CTU security footage, and sees
Jack take Nina at gunpoint. He is further
surprised when he sees Jack hand Nina a
bulletproof flak jacket. Meanwhile, at the
industrial site, Nina wakes up. She pulls the
bullet shells from the Kevlar jacket and, although
she is somewhat shaken, she realizes what has
happened. Nina walks off. |
