As they walk toward the briefing room, Tony is
curt with Michelle about not making any mistakes
while they prepare to help Jack.
Hector, still alive, lies in a pool of his own blood.
Salazar chides him for not listening. It is too risky
to take him to a hospital. To end his brother's
suffering, Salazar shoots Hector again to kill him.
Nina says that Hector was right -- Jack is still
working for CTU. Salazar warns her never to
mention Hector's name again. He and Jack lead
the team to the cars to meet up with Amador.
Sherry lets Palmer know that she's leaving the
office to meet someone about the Milliken
information. "I still believe in your presidency,"
she says, vowing to stop Milliken.
Tony briefs his staff about the Posta Mita location
where the virus transfer will take place. Chase
will provide visual confirmation because Jack can
not transmit the information. Chloe is in charge of
communicating with Chase.
In the woods at Posta Mita, Chase sets up a
parabolic dish to pick up the sound. He sees
Jack and Salazar pull up. Salazar orders his men
to hide so that Amador doesn't see them. Nina
tells Salazar that she can prove Jack is setting
him up. Based on her CTU experience, she is
sure that there will be a reconnaissance man
watching them from the hills. Salazar sends two
guards to check it out. Chase sees the men
coming towards him.
Adam goes to Kim's desk and notices the baby.
She tells him it is Chloe's child, but Adam knows
that Chloe never had a baby because he did
Chloe's background check.
Salazar enters the mine house and radios his two
men in the field looking for the sentries that Nina
described. One of the men, Pablo, does not
immediately respond. Nina comments that the
man must already be dead because CTU has
gotten to him. But Pablo responds, telling Salazar
that no one is there. Salazar orders him to hold
his position. Salazar doesn't see that Chase has
Pablo at knifepoint. Chase knocks Pablo out.
Salazar warns Nina that she will pick up the virus
from Amador. If she tries to say anything to him,
she will be killed.
Chloe comes to Kim's desk to check on the baby.
Kim asks who the child belongs to because
Adam says it isn't hers. Chloe admits that her
boyfriend, Eric, is the father. He is trying to hide
the baby from his ex-wife because her new
boyfriend has been abusing the child. Chloe
claims that Eric has contacted a social worker.
Knowing this is kidnapping, Kim suggests she
report it. Chloe accuses Kim of being at fault if
something bad happens when the baby is
returned to her mother. Michelle interrupts them
to get Chloe back to work.
Sherry meets with a man named Kevin Kelly in
his run-down mobile home. She has proof that an
account was set up in his name after his
daughter was killed in a car accident. Kelly
embarrassingly admits that he saw Milliken
driving the car, but was paid off to keep his
mouth shut about Milliken's complicity in his
daughter's death. Kelly agrees to tell the truth
about the accident in return for the President
pardoning his son from prison. Kelly's son was
convicted for murder.
Nina presses Jack about his working for CTU. He
says that she doesn't know what she is talking
about. Nina knows they will both be killed once
Salazar gets hold of the virus. Salazar comes in
and has Nina's handcuffs removed. He sends her
out to meet with Amador, warning the bodyguard
accompanying her that she is to be killed if there
is trouble.
Chase sees Nina and the bodyguard leave the
building. He radios back to CTU. Tony orders
Michelle to send in the delta teams because the
virus transfer is about to get underway.
As Chloe continues monitoring Chase, Tony gets
a call from Kim. She has something urgent to
speak to him about Chloe.
Outside the trailer, Sherry calls Palmer and asks
about pardoning Kelly's son. She explains that
Kelly was paid not to pin his daughter's murder
on Milliken, and will now admit the truth in return
for this pardon. Palmer needs time to think about
this and hangs up. Wayne advises the President
not to do what Sherry asks because she has her
own agenda. Wayne would rather give in to
Milliken's demands by submitting his resignation.
Palmer is unsure what the will do about the Kelly
pardon.
Kim tells Tony that she thinks Chloe is
delusional. Chloe lied about the baby and her
boyfriend being the father. Kim looked into it, and
found no abuse charges filed with Child
Protective Services. She didn't confront Chloe
because the woman is unstable. Tony,
unfortunately, needs Chloe because she is the
only one who can filter the audio streams from
Chase. He doesn't want her distracted, and he
asks Kim to watch the kid until the mission is
over. Tony says they will deal with the baby once
they have possession of the virus.
Sherry goes back to the trailer but finds that Kelly
isn't there. The place has been ransacked. She
exits the trailer warily and heads for her car. As
she searches in her purse for the keys, another
car approaches. Sherry panics, but the car is
driven by a harmless older couple who passes
by. She catches her breath and gets into her car.
Chase reports to CTU that Amador and his
bodyguard have arrived. Jack sees the same
thing from the abandoned mine house. Carrying
a briefcase, Amador enters the building where
Nina is waiting with her guard. She tells Amador
that she will authorize transfer of funds once she
verifies the virus. Amador removes a canister
from the case and hands the vial to Nina. She
places the vial into a spectroscope to test the
substance inside of it.
Chloe complains because she doesn't have
enough audio filters, and Adam tries to help her
out. Wayne Palmer calls Tony to chew him out
about the secret mission. The Pentagon is
furious that they weren't involved. The President
will be forced to hold Tony, Jack and Gael
accountable. Wayne asks that Tony walk him
through the plan.
Chase radios CTU that they are about to get
authentication on the virus. Nina's spectroscope
conveys that it is 100% verified. Chase sends
that news to CTU, and Tony orders the delta
teams to raid the site. Amador takes back the vial
from Nina, and places something in his breast
pocket. She calls the bank to transfer the money.
Amador gives Nina the briefcase and he leaves
with his bodyguard. While Chase is relaying this
information, static fills the line and CTU can't
hear him. Chloe explains that she changed
satellites in the middle of the operation without
telling anyone. Adam begins to worry. They get
Chase back on the line, to everyone's relief.
Jack and Salazar see Nina coming back toward
them and meet her outside. Salazar takes the
briefcase and pulls out the vial. He trains a gun
on Jack, saying that he is no longer needed.
Chase radios to CTU that Jack is in jeopardy.
The delta teams won't make it there in time to
save him.
Salazar tells Jack that he caused his brother to
die. Before Salazar can pull the trigger, Chase
shoots him in the shoulder. The guards open fire
and Nina runs off into the woods. Jack grabs one
of the guard's weapons and begins taking out the
men. The searchlights from the helicopters burn
down on the hillside, and Chase lets Tony know
that the delta team has arrived. He runs down to
where Jack is. The chopper fires missiles to take
out some of Salazar's men. Jack sees Salazar
rushing off with the briefcase, and he runs after
him. Chase radios to CTU that Jack is pursuing
Salazar and the virus.
Sherry calls Julia, Milliken's wife. She says that
she knows that Milliken is controlling, but that
Julia shouldn't give everything up to get away
from him. She offers Julia a way out that does
not sacrifice her lifestyle. Sherry heads towards
the Milliken estate.
Chase and some members of the delta team
catch up with Jack in the woods. Jack is relieved
that Chase is all right. He directs the choppers to
pursue Salazar.
Jack and Chase come upon Salazar, who is
bleeding from the gunshot. Salazar holds the
cylinder, but Jack refuses to let the agents open
fire. He begs Salazar to hand over the virus.
Salazar is about to comply by placing the cylinder
on the ground, but a timer buzzes. The cylinder
explodes in Salazar's hands. Jack and Chase are
knocked down.
Jack takes Chase's phone and calls CTU to tell
Tony that he does not have the virus. The
cylinder was rigged with a bomb, which means
that Amador switched vials. Tony lets him know
that the delta teams have found Amador. Jack
says that Nina has also escaped. She probably
wasn't plotting with Amador because the bomb
was intended for her. Chloe chimes in that the
delta team has spotted Amador two miles west of
their location.
Captain Reiss and his soldiers stop Amador's
truck and hold him at gunpoint. Amador turns his
eyes to the trees nearby, and his men open fire
on the delta team, swiftly taking them out.
Amador smashes his cell phone, and drives
away with his bodyguard.
Adam loses Amador's cell phone signal, and
Michelle gets word that the delta team was
ambushed. Tony gives Jack the news that
Amador escaped. He can not be tracked
because he chose this location where there is no
satellite coverage. Jack tells Chase that they
need to find Nina.
As he safely drives away, Amador pulls out
another cylinder from his breast pocket which
contains the real virus. |
