As the CTU staff tracks Tony through the streets,
Jack heads out to find him.
In the car, Jane Saunders questions Tony about
his strange behavior. He says that he is
transferring her to Division.
From her locked cell, Michelle taunts Saunders's
henchman about how he will die when the virus
is released.
Kim tells Chase that his job will always prevent
him from being a good parent. Yet if Chase
transfers out of Field Ops, Kim would consider
staying in their relationship and helping him raise
his daughter.
As Adam watches Tony's movement on satellite,
Jack follows the car.
Jane realizes that she is not being taken to
Division, and Tony finally admits that he has
kidnapped her in order to get his wife back from
Saunders. Suddenly, another SUV swerves into
Tony's car and forces him to a halt. Jack pops
out of the SUV and draws his gun. He knows that
Tony only wants to save Michelle, and he
understands what he is going through. Tony's
renegade actions are reminiscent of Jack's past
deeds. Yet Jack needs Jane to lure Saunders,
and he promises that Michelle won't suffer. Tony
explains that Saunders directed him to a public
payphone where he will receive further
instructions.
Wayne thinks that the White House should
release a statement about the exact nature of the
threat. Palmer would rather withhold the truth
than cause a widespread panic.
Senator Keeler comes to see the President. He
accuses Palmer of lying to the police about Alan
Milliken's death, and he shows him photographs
of the medicine bottle kept from Milliken when he
died. Sherry's fingerprints on the bottle will
incriminate the President. Keeler calls for
Palmer's resignation once the terrorist threat is
resolved. He will allow Palmer to offer whatever
face-saving reason he wants to give. Palmer
orders Keeler out of his office.
Arriving at the phone booth, Jack orders Tony to
reject the location Saunders chooses. Making
him pick a secondary location will allow Chase
time to get a team in place. Tony goes to the
phone.
Jack listens in as Tony takes Saunders's phone
call. Saunders gives Tony a location to deliver
Jane, but Tony claims that area is in a CTU
satellite area. Saunders refuses to change, and
Jack hangs up the phone. Tony is furious, but
Jack knows that Saunders will call back because
he is desperate to get his daughter. Tony
accuses Jack of jeopardizing Michelle because
she would merely be an acceptable loss. "Didn't
you learn anything from what happened to Teri?"
Tony asks. Jack angrily pushes Tony. Suddenly,
the payphone rings and Tony answers it.
Saunders offers up a new location.
Chase briefs his tactical team on the position
under the Sixth Street Bridge where Saunders is
meeting Tony. Kim asks him to be careful.
Chloe tells Kim that Chase won't leave Field Ops
to start a family with her. He's too much like Jack.
Kim brushes her warning aside.
Palmer calls Sherry and yells at her for sending
Keeler to blackmail him. She says that, unlike
Palmer, Keeler offered her respect and power.
Palmer merely tossed her aside after she
performed his dirty work. Sherry is willing to go to
jail to make her ex-husband pay for that.
As they head to the bridge, Jack calls Chase to
give him a plan of attack. Jane asks Jack if her
father will really kill innocent Americans with the
virus. Jack explains that Saunders thinks the
country betrayed him even though his job
required him to make impossible sacrifices.
Michelle screams from the holding cell.
Saunders's henchman comes in to find her with a
bloody nose. He's frightened when Michelle says
that she has contracted the deadly virus. The
man radios Saunders, but Michelle knocks the
guy out with a brick. She had bloodied her own
nose to scare him. Michelle grabs his gun and
cell phone, and runs off. Saunders goes after
her.
Michelle can't get any service on the phone in the
underground fortress. She finds her way to
daylight, but hits a fenced-in dead end. Michelle
calls CTU, but Chloe can't hear her. There's only
static. Chloe hangs up.
Palmer tells his brother how Sherry has been
feeding information to Keeler in order to bring the
Administration down. Wayne wonders if they
should steal the evidence from Sherry to take
away all her leverage with Keeler. Palmer
considers Wayne's proposal.
Jack and Tony arrive at the bridge where Chase
has his strike team in place.
Kim connects Jack with Michelle, who has gotten
away from Saunders. But instead of picking
Michelle up, Jack wants her to be recaptured by
Saunders so that he will have a reason for an
exchange. Tony tries to get Chase to send a
team to her, but Jack forcefully has Tony taken
away. Michelle takes Jack's order, and tosses the
gun and phone. She runs back and Saunders
finds her.
Wayne secretly meets with a man named Bruce
Foxton in a parking garage. Wayne has him
retrieve the medicine bottle back from Sherry,
and he says that The President knows about this
covert operation.
As Chase's team lies in wait at the bridge, Tony
asks Jack to do what he can to save his wife.
The convoy carrying Michelle arrives at the spot
where Tony is with Jane.
Michelle and Jane pass each other as they walk
to the opposite sides. Jack refuses to send the
team in until he has a visual on Saunders. Jane
hesitates out of fear and starts to go back toward
Tony. Saunders gets out of one of the cars to
show himself to her. The SWAT team opens fire,
as does Tony.
Saunders is shocked to see his plan backfire,
and he runs into a riverbed toward a waiting
helicopter. Jack takes off after him, but is fired at
by the men in the chopper. Jack calls in for air
support.
The Marines arrive in F-18 fighter jets, firing
missiles at the helicopter. It explodes, and sends
Saunders blown backwards by the blast.
Jane watches as Tony reunites with Michelle.
Amid the wreckage of the helicopter, Jack pulls
his weapon on Saunders and demands to know
where the other unaccounted vials of the virus
are. "You can waste time trying to break me and
kill millions of people," Saunders says to Jack.
"Or you can give me what I want." |
