Tony and Michelle wonder whether Jack shot
Nina only out of vengeance. Tony doesn't think
Jack would have risked the mission.
Chappelle enters the transformer room where
Nina's body lies dead on the ground. He angrily
questions Jack about what happened. Chappelle
takes Jack to review the video surveillance that
would confirm he was only defending himself.
Chase comes in to comfort Kim. Kim didn't
witness her father in self-defense against Nina
because he made her leave the room.
In the seedy night club, Amador lets a man
named Saunders come into the back room. As
Saunders takes the vials filled with the virus,
Amador questions why he chose a limited target
and not a large one that could inflict the most
casualties. Saunders explains that this was not
his objective. He only wants to send a message.
Tony lets the rest of the CTU staff know that Jack
killed Nina when she tried to escape. He instructs
them to widen their search for Amador now that
there is new information about detonating
devices stolen from Russia. Tony believes that
Amador and Alvers will use these devices to
disseminate the virus.
Saunders shows Amador and Alvers how to work
the detonating device. Saunders belittles how
Amador could trust that Jack Bauer would turn
against CTU. He accuses Amador of being
greedy and almost ruining the mission. Saunders
only gives Amador and Alvers half of the $200
million they were to be paid because of the screw
up in Mexico. They will receive the balance after
they hit the hotel with the virus.
Chloe finds that one of Amador's bank accounts
had been activated from a local server only a few
minutes ago. Kim and Adam work on tagging the
location.
Chappelle reviews the security footage, and Jack
insists that he shot Nina because she was
reaching for her gun. Chappelle accuses Jack of
standing in front of the camera to obscure any
visual record of what really happened. Although
Jack is angry that Nina was released after killing
his wife, he only tried to prevent her from
shooting at Kim. Chase interrupts their argument
to inform them that they have a live lead on
Amador and the virus. Jack prepares to go out
into the field, but Chappelle stops him because
Jack is the subject of an internal investigation.
Both Jack and Chase convince Chappelle that
Jack is needed on the case. Chappelle
reluctantly lets him leave.
Julia calls Wayne because the police are
questioning her housekeeper. He tells her that
she is innocent. Palmer comes in and Wayne
hangs up with Julia. He lies to Palmer and says
that he hasn't yet spoken to Julia. Wayne advises
the President that they should stay far away from
Milliken's death because it will look like Palmer
was involved.
As Jack loads the truck with Chase, Kim
approaches him. She gets assurance from Jack
that he was forced to kill Nina because she was a
threat to them.
Wayne confronts Sherry about Milliken's death.
He knows that she prevented Julia from giving
Milliken his medication. Sherry believes she was
only cleaning up Wayne's mess. "Complex
problems sometimes have the simplest
solutions," she says. Sherry convinces Wayne
that they need to handle this without Palmer's
knowledge. As long as Julia keeps her mouth
shut, the two of them will be able to cover it up.
A police detective comes to speak with Julia, and
says that the maid heard a car in the driveway.
She thought she saw a light-colored Mercedes.
Detective Norris then questions the fact that the
security system was shut down an hour before
Milliken's death. Julia claims she doesn't know
anything about this. Although Milliken was sick,
the detective is starting to think someone may
have helped him die.
As Adam tracks the location of Amador's account
access, Kim delivers the coordinates to Chase
over the phone. He is driving with Jack, who
thanks him for urging Chappelle to let him stay
on the case. Jack asks if Chase spoke to Kim
about his baby. Chase says that Kim is handling
it fine. He wants Jack to stay out of it because he
and Kim truly care about each other.
Alvers arrives at the Chandler Plaza Hotel by
taxi. He has a briefcase in his hand. Alvers
enters the lobby and calls Amador to tell him it
will take another 25 minutes.
Detective Norris phones Sherry from the Milliken
estate to let her know that Julia claims she was
with Sherry tonight. Sherry firmly states that Julia
is lying because she has really been in the
District offices with President Palmer all night.
The detective says that Julia accused Sherry of
helping her withhold medication and caused
Milliken's death. Sherry says that Palmer will
confirm her story.
Wayne is worried that he is becoming less of an
asset to Palmer's Administration, but Palmer
assures his brother that he doesn't trust anyone
more. Wayne gets a call from CTU that Jack is
leading the operation with a lead on the virus.
Jack and Chase arrive at the Chinatown street
where Chloe has tracked Amador's account
transaction. The SWAT team at the site has sent
an undercover officer into the seedy nightclub.
The officer spots an armed guard outside a door,
but he is taken hostage before he can notify the
team outside. The guard strips his radio, and
Amador shoots the officer. Jack and Chase lead
the raid on the club. Jack pins Amador to the
ground, and orders the other SWAT guys to
leave the room.
Jack wants to know where the virus is, but
Amador is angry that Jack was able to fool him in
Mexico. "He knows who you are," Amador tells
Jack. Amador refuses to tell him anything else,
and Jack asks him who he is afraid of. Amador
makes a contemptuous remark that Jack can't
protect him because he couldn't even protect his
own family. When Amador does not tell him
where the virus is, Jack has Chase slice
Amador's palm with a knife. Amador passes out.
Jack orders Chase to repeat it when Amador
wakes up.
Tony and Chappelle call Jack. He tells them that
he has Amador, but that the virus has already
been passed on. However, Amador did reveal
that whoever is behind this threat knows Jack
very well. Jack has Tony cross-reference all his
contacts with what they already uncovered about
the virus. The CTU forensics team finds an
incubator with no contamination and some prints
and hairs that they will send to the lab. The
agents also find Amador's laptop that has the full
schematics of the Chandler Hotel. Jack tells Tony
that they have a possible target, but that they
shouldn't evacuate the hotel just yet. First they
need to contain the virus. Tony orders an NHS
team sent to the hotel.
Tony notifies Phillips, the head of security for the
Chandler Hotel, that there might have been a
toxic substance released in the building. Tony
orders him not to allow anyone in or out of the
hotel. Alvers may already be in the building.
Tony stops Michelle as she leaves CTU with
Gael and a group of agents. Chappelle explains
that Tony will need to control information flow at
the office, and with Michelle's past experience,
she is the best person to lead the team on-site.
Tony is hesitant to let her go, but she knows it is
the best thing to do.
Michelle phones Tony from the car. He tells her
that the NHS team won't be there for another 20
minutes. Tony orders her not to go into the hotel
until NHS brings biohazard suits. She hangs up
annoyed, and tells Gael that things haven't been
right since Tony got back from the hospital. Gael
says that Tony was unhappy that he couldn't talk
to her about their secret plot against the Salazars
for the last few months.
Alvers walks through the Chandler Hotel dressed
as a maintenance man. Phillips is suspicious
because he doesn't recognize him. He has his
assistant check the man out.
Michelle calls Phillips from outside the hotel. No
one has spotted Alvers yet. She can't enter until
the hazmat suits arrive. Michelle feels guilty that
Phillips' people don't have any hazmat suits and
are trapped inside. Gael finds an image of Alvers
on the hotel's security camera. Michelle tells the
other agents on the team that she can't order
anyone in because it goes against protocol, but
she is going in to try to stop the virus. Gael grabs
some gear and follows her. Others go with him.
Phillips unlocks the door to allow Michelle and
her team to enter the building. Phillips says that
they may have spotted Alvers.
Alvers enters the ventilation room and opens up
his tool kit. He takes out the detonator and
inserts a virus-filled vial inside of it. Alvers sets
the detonator into place below a fan that blows
air into the building.
Michelle finds Phillips' assistant dead in the
hallway of a pump room. She holds someone
who appears to be a maintenance man at
gunpoint. It is really Alvers. He makes a run for it,
but Michelle takes him down and handcuffs him
to a pipe. Alvers admits that the virus has been
released into the central ventilation unit. Michelle
radios Gael, who heads for the area.
Gael finds the detonator underneath the whirling
blades of the main fan. He radios Michelle that
the virus is in a vial, and that it is hooked to some
kind of timer. Gael opens up the fan unit, but
before he can grab the vial, the detonator goes
off. A fine, white powder sprays into his face and
up into the air conditioning shaft. |
