Anne waits backstage with Palmer before he is to
go on for the debate. She apologizes about his
having to deal with her ex-husband. He warmly
kisses her forehead before taking the stage.
A full riot is in effect at the federal holding facility
as the prisoners take over the outer cell block.
Jack removes the handcuffs on Salazar. Two
guards approach, and Jack and Salazar knock
them down. They put on the guards' uniforms.
The warden tries to regain control of his prison,
but Chase is adamant that Jack and Salazar
need to be found first. To convince the warden of
the severity, Chase is forced to tell him about the
virus threat. The warden then redirects his
guards to follow Chase's command. Michelle
calls to inquire about the prison riot, and Chase
says that Jack set it off in order to free Salazar.
He asks that she notify him the moment they find
Kyle Singer. Jack may hand over Salazar if CTU
has the virus contained.
Inside the warehouse container, Kyle apologizes
to Linda for getting her into this predicament. The
people from the government told his father that
he wouldn't be contagious for a few more hours,
so she may survive if they are found in time. Kyle
tries to break open a conduit in the ceiling to find
a way out.
Kim discovers Kyle in a truck on a traffic camera.
She passes the tape over to Adam when
Michelle summons her. Michelle lets Kim know
that Jack is working outside of CTU by removing
Salazar with force. Her father had lied to her
about the prison transfer, and she was unaware
that she was violating protocol.
Jack and Salazar charge down the corridor,
beating prisoners as they pass to make their way
out. A group of prisoners take them hostage. The
guards open fire, but Chase sees Jack among
the group and lowers his gun. The prisoners pull
Jack and Salazar into a room.
After Kim neglects to forward Adam a file, he
lashes out at her for being forgetful. Michelle
asks Adam to cut Kim some slack. She explains
about Jack using Kim to create a transfer order
and start a prison riot.
Kyle Singer manages to break a piece of the
conduit open to reveal internal wires in the
ceiling. As he is standing on a chair, he wraps
the wires around his neck and hangs himself. "If I
die, the virus is dying with me," he says to Linda.
She climbs up and loosens the conduit, so that
Kyle falls down. He is still alive. Linda takes him
in her arms.
Workers set up for Salazar's homecoming party
at the Mexico ranch. Claudia goads Hector into
standing up for his position in the family against
his brother. Gael phones Hector. Although Jack
still has Salazar alive, CTU is getting closer to
finding Kyle Singer. Hector warns Gael that he
must prevent that from happening.
Kim zooms in on the traffic photograph and sees
that someone is holding Kyle at gunpoint in the
pickup truck. Adam notifies Michelle as Kim
attempts to ID the vehicle.
Chase and the warden review the live security
feed and see Jack and Salazar among the prison
hostages. Suddenly, one of the prisoners named
Peel shoots the camera. In the room, Peel tells
his fellow inmates that the police won't care if
they kill off the guards. Peel pulls Jack and
another guard from among the hostages and sits
them at a table. He places a gun down and
forces them to play Russian Roulette with each
other. The guard is afraid, but Jack convinces
him that this is their only way out. The man puts
the gun to his temple and pulls the trigger. It fires,
and he falls to the ground.
As Kim waits for an image of the truck to
download, Adam lets her know that there is an
internal inquiry about the prison transfer and riot.
He offers to help her out. Suddenly, the image
stops downloading due to a router error.
In the ITS room, Gael scrambles to finish
manipulating the router. He sees Kim on his
monitor. She goes into the ITS room, and he
explains that a line surge may have damaged the
router. He tells her that he has fixed it.
Kim goes back out and asks Adam if a line surge
could have been the problem. Adam calls
Michelle with the license plate, and she orders a
search. Michelle then asks Chloe to check Jack's
phone logs, emails and office for clues.
Michelle calls the hospital to find out about
Tony's condition. He is still in surgery. She has a
tech at CTU send video feed from the operating
room to her desktop. She is rattled at the sight of
the doctors cutting into her husband. Michelle
quickly shuts off the feed.
Chase arranges explosive devices around the
prison perimeter. He checks the fiber optic
camera feed on his headset. He leads his team
into a maintenance tunnel.
Peel selects Salazar to play Russian Roulette
against Jack. Salazar explains that he is a
prisoner. Jack confirms that he is a federal agent.
Peel insists that they still continue. Chase can
see the situation on the camera. With a throng of
prisoners pointing guns at his head, Jack raises
the pistol and pulls the trigger. It is empty.
Salazar takes the gun next and also gets an
empty round.
Chase sets explosives on the wall, and Jack
notices the light from Chase's headset in the air
vent. As the prisoners chant for the game to
continue, Jack takes the pistol and shoots Peel in
the chest. Salazar fights off another prisoner.
Suddenly, a blast knocks a hole in the wall and
the entry team led by Chase raids the room.
They fire at the prisoners. Jack and Salazar
make it to a door. Chase shouts after his partner.
Chloe rummages through Jack's office and finds
the heroin vial and syringe in the trashcan. She
phones the lab and asks someone to come up
with a drug kit.
In the televised debate at the USC auditorium,
Senator Keeler charges that Palmer's current
girlfriend, Anne, fabricated results of a clinical
drug trial that later caused three deaths. Palmer
says that Keeler's accusation is false. Backstage,
Anne lowers her head in shame. "Now do you get
it?" Wayne says to her.
The lab tech tests the substance in found in
Jack's office. It comes up positive for drugs. Kim
comes in, and asks Chloe if a line surge would
have shut down the routers. Chloe says that it
wouldn't. Chloe is resistant to reveal to Kim what
she found in Jack's office, but she finally admits
that she thinks Jack is using drugs. She pulls out
the tourniquet, syringe and heroin. Kim is in
shock. Chloe says she feels uncomfortable about
what Kim made her reveal.
Chloe goes to Michelle and shows her the drug
paraphernalia. The liquid in the vials tested
positive for opiates. But Michelle has no time to
respond because Adam has located the truck
carrying Kyle Singer at an industrial complex.
Michelle orders a raid.
Jack and an armed Salazar make their way
through the prison. They see the SWAT team
and a helicopter outside. Jack is struck with an
idea, and he makes Salazar strip off his guard
uniform.
Adam and Kim pull up a satellite image of the
industrial complex to see if they can spot Kyle
among the buildings. Kim fights back her tears as
she works.
Jack sees Chase outside with the SWAT team.
He asks Salazar to follow his lead. They walk
outside, and Jack demands the helicopter from
Chase. Chase refuses to give up because CTU is
close to finding Kyle Singer. Jack responds that
there isn't enough time. If he doesn't let Salazar
go soon, then hundreds of thousands of people
will die. Chase tells the warden to release him
because CTU can track the chopper. The SWAT
team stands down. Jack and Salazar board the
helicopter.
The biosuit-wearing CTU team storms the
warehouse and shoots the terrorists working for
Hector. They rescue Kyle and Linda.
Chase watches as Jack disables the comm and
locator on the helicopter. His cell phone rings.
Michelle tells Chase that they have captured Kyle
Singer. Chase attempts to warn Jack as the
chopper takes off, but Jack doesn't hear him.
Salazar chuckles as he flies away to safety. "Now
you're an even bigger enemy to your country
than I am," he tells Jack. Jack shoots him a look. |
