Adam finds Amador's location. There may be
bodies and vehicles nearby, but it cannot be
identified from the satellite.
The Delta chopper lands in the Mexican field to
pick up Chase, as well as Claudia's father and
brother. They quickly take off before Hector spots
them.
Wayne calls Milliken in an attempt to settle the
dispute. Palmer catches him on the call and
takes the phone away. The President insists to
Milliken that he will neither fire his brother nor
lose his health care bill. Milliken refuses to give
in. Palmer tells Wayne that he needs Sherry to
take care of this so that they can focus on the
virus threat in Mexico.
Tony briefs his team on Amador. Jack must
confirm that he has the virus before CTU can
intercept. Adam pulls up a photo of Nina, and
Kim is shocked to learn that Nina is involved.
Tony ushers Kim out of the room to explain. "She
killed my mother," Kim cries. "My father couldn't
even pretend to work with her."
Nina continues to kiss the handcuffed Jack. But
she pulls away because she can feel him lying.
She knows he still despises her and is working
with CTU. Suddenly, Jack head butts Nina and
she falls back. Jack crashes into the wall to
smash the wooden chair he's been chained to.
He grabs a remnant of the chair and holds it to
Nina's neck. Jack explains that he is a fugitive
and that he needs this deal to happen. She is the
only one that Amador will sell it to. He promises
that Nina will still get her $20 million fee.
Hector and his men pull up to where Chase's
truck is parked. Hector is upset to find Claudia's
dead body.
Hector phones Gael, who has the call traced.
Hector informs him that Chase has escaped.
Gael claims that Chase has not called in because
he went rogue. CTU has no idea where he is.
Hector calls Salazar and says that they have to
call off the deal because Chase escaped.
Salazar demands that they keep up their end of
the deal since they already made promises to
deliver the virus. Jack summons Salazar into the
building where Nina is being held.
Sherry enters Palmer's office. She thanks him for
keeping her out of prison and away from public
humiliation. She vows to help him with whatever
he needs.
As Jack checks Nina's laptop, Salazar comes
into the building. Jack hands him his gun and
says that Nina has agreed to the exchange. They
are waiting for Amador to call. Jack brushes off
the news that Chase escaped. Yet when Salazar
informs him that Claudia died, Jack can barely
hide the flicker of pain on his face.
Palmer explains the Milliken situation to Sherry.
He has always known that Sherry hid information
about Milliken from him. Sherry admits to
knowing one skeleton from Milliken's closet. She
warns Palmer that if it is exposed, Milliken will
become his enemy for life. Palmer agrees to her
inserting herself in the situation.
Chase gets his hand bandaged at the portable
command post. Claudia's father explains to
Sergio that his sister died to keep them safe.
Captain Reiss of the Delta team tells Chase that
CTU wants to pull back his surveillance team
now that Hector is onto their trail. Chase wants to
personally track Amador even though CTU is
ordering his evacuation because his partner's life
is at stake.
Adam picks up vehicle movement on the ground
in Mexico. Chappelle doesn't want the Delta team
to move in until they have a visual of the virus.
Meanwhile, Amador takes a briefcase from his
couriers. He pulls out a steel cylinder that houses
a vial of white crystalline powder immersed in a
greenish liquid.
Wayne greets Sherry, and he lets her know that
he doesn't think it's such a good idea that she's
there. Wayne asks her to tell the President that
she couldn't find anything to blackmail Milliken
with. This will force Palmer to accept Wayne's
resignation. However, Sherry wants Wayne to
remain in the White House because he plays
rough like she does.
Kim tells Tony that it is hard to put her feelings
aside about Nina, the woman who killed her
mother. Kim feels that Nina is violating the terms
of her Presidential pardon by auctioning for the
virus. She begs Tony to make Nina pay for what
she has done.
Chloe asks Kim to watch her baby while she runs
downstairs for a briefing. Kim is flustered, but is
left with no choice.
Out of Jack's earshot, Nina whispers to Salazar
that Jack is working with CTU in order to set him
up. Salazar says that he already checked Jack
out, and he threatens Nina not to undermine the
deal. Amador calls, and Jack has Nina answer it
on speakerphone. Amador has the product, but
he wants to confirm Nina's bank account first.
When he sees that the money is ready to be
transferred, Amador gives Nina a meeting place
to hand over the virus. Salazar is pleased, and
he waits for Hector to arrive.
Amador calls someone to tell them that he has
the virus and that the exchange will occur within
the hour.
Adam tracks that Amador is moving eastward.
Gael suggests that they swoop in now to grab
Amador and the virus. Tony wants to wait for
Jack to send them a signal of confirmation.
However, they don't know how Jack will get word
to them.
Wayne questions whether the White House
should inform the Mexican government about the
troops on Mexico's soil, but Palmer doesn't want
to jeopardize the operation. Milliken calls,
warning the President to pull Sherry off of him or
else he will cause even more problems. Palmer
and Wayne sense that Milliken is scared. Palmer
takes his brother's advice and places a call to the
President of Mexico.
Palmer informs Sherry that Milliken is already
upset. He asks about the dirt she has dug up, but
Sherry says that she will fill him in later.
Hector arrives at the house where Jack is hiding
with Salazar and Nina. Jack tells him to stop
looking for Chase because CTU wouldn't even be
able to get down there quick enough to prevent
the virus delivery. Seeing Nina tied up, Hector
pulls his brother aside. He warns Salazar that
they should give up because something is not
right. Salazar says that they don't have a choice
because the buyers are already in place. Jack
secretly dials Michelle on the cell so that she can
listen in. He says out loud that they are meeting
Amador at the location. Hector still expresses his
reluctance, but Salazar orders his brother to
follow his command. Salazar asks for the cell
phone, and Jack is forced to hang up on
Michelle. Yet Tony has heard enough information
to send the Delta teams into position.
Captain Reiss gets the coordinates for the
Amador exchange and mobilizes his men. Chase
questions why they are staying so far from the
location. Reiss explains that they will send one
observer to confirm the virus, but will hold the
combat troops back. Chase volunteers himself to
be the observer.
Hector continues to question his brother about
the security of the deal. Salazar reminds Hector
that it was Jack who broke him out of prison. He
wants Hector to follow his orders, like he has
always done. Jack loads Nina into the car. "You
can't control this, Jack," she says to him.
As Kim tries to console the crying baby, Chloe
comes back to her desk. She accuses Kim of
doing something to make the baby cry.
Michelle and Tony brief Chappelle on what they
learned from Jack's call. They hear a baby cry,
and Chappelle goes upstairs to the Field Ops
office to reprimand Chloe. He tells her that she is
suspended, but Michelle reminds him that they
need Chloe to take care of the digitally enhanced
audio surveillance in Mexico. Michelle suggests
that they deal with Chloe's child care problems
some other time. Chappelle tells Chloe to have
Kim watch the baby.
Suited up in camouflage gear, Chase maps his
and the commando teams' positions with Reiss.
Jack and the Salazars pull up to the house where
their guards are posted. Hector is alarmed
because there are not enough men. Salazar
accuses his brother of losing his nerve, and the
two argue. Jack says that they have to be at
Amador's meeting place very soon. Hector yells
that the deal is off. Salazar assures Hector that
they need to follow through because they will
lose the respect of all the buyers they promised
the virus to. Hector disobeys his brother and
orders his guards to leave. Salazar shoots his
brother Hector in the back. Jack and Nina are
stunned.
