Gael tapes Kim onto a chair. He covers her
mouth with the duct tape, and then deletes all the
video feeds and files about Salazar off his
computer.
Michelle tells Adam that she is going to see Tony
at the hospital. Gael will now be in charge, and
she has Adam send all her data directories to
him. Adam thinks they should saturate the media
with news about the virus so that Jack will hear it.
Michelle says that the President wants it kept
secret.
Gael phones Michelle from the IT room to let her
know that he has been helping Kim with her
work. Michelle instructs him to go to the briefing
since he will be taking over in her absence. Gael
tells Kim that he has her monitored from a
handheld device. As he leaves, he changes the
access code on the door.
Chappelle briefs the staff about Kyle Singer not
carrying the virus. Since Salazar's organization
still has the virus, then finding him is the top
priority.
Salazar pours a bottle of champagne on the
unconscious Jack to revive him. For some
reason, Hector wants Jack delivered alive.
Salazar is ready to kill him now, but one of his
henchmen tells him not to.
Chappelle calls Chase and orders him back to
the office. Chase has a lead he wants to follow in
order to save Jack. Chappelle says that he
knows Jack has been using heroin, and he
believes that Chase has been covering up for
him. Chappelle threatens to fire Chase if he
doesn't return to CTU.
Adam calls Chloe looking for Kim. He then asks
Gael, but he claims that Kim was reassigned to a
new task by Chappelle. Michelle gives Gael
instructions for her absence, but he's
preoccupied watching Adam phone the IT room
for Kim. Taped to the chair, Kim is unable to
answer Adam's call.
Gael sees Adam go to the IT room, but Adam
can not get in. Adam phones Michelle's desk to
ask if Gael had changed the access code. Gael
denies doing so. Michelle overrides the access
code, but when she looks up from her computer,
Gael has disappeared. Adam enters the IT room
to find Kim tied up. He removes the tape from her
mouth and she tells him it was Gael who was the
culprit. Adam calls security, and the guards spot
Gael trying to escape the building. He gets
trapped and is placed into custody.
Palmer rides with Wayne in the Presidential limo.
Wayne informs Palmer of Jack's status. Palmer
knows that Jack would put his life on the line to
take Salazar back to his brother so that the virus
would be prevented. Wayne says that they have
other fires to put out in the meantime.
The Presidential cavalcade arrives at District
headquarters, where Anne is waiting. She
suggests to Palmer that maybe they should have
allowed Wayne to pay off her ex-husband. "You
weren't wrong," Palmer tells her.
Gael is being held in the CTU observation room
for interrogation. Michelle tells Chappelle that she
is going to the hospital to be with Tony.
Chappelle questions Gael himself, but Gael
refuses to say anything. Chappelle brings in a
torture specialist.
Salazar dances with two girls aboard the jet, but
he is distracted knowing that Jack is in the next
cabin. He asks his henchman why Hector wants
to keep Jack alive. The henchman has to
convince Salazar not to shoot Jack and wait for
Hector.
Handcuffed in the front cabin, Jack tries to
persuade Pedro, another Salazar henchman, to
help him because he saved Salazar. "I'm not
talking to you," Pedro says. "You're a dead man."
Suddenly, Jack starts to convulse and cough like
he is having drug withdrawal symptoms. Pedro
comes over to check him out. Jack kicks Pedro at
the ankles, causing him to fall. Jack chokes him
with his legs, and then takes Pedro's gun and
handcuff keys with his free hand. Jack can hear
Salazar's party going on in the next cabin. He
trains a gun at the door.
White House Press Secretary Gerry Whitehorn
briefs Palmer on campaign strategy. He believes
that Anne will only hurt Palmer's standing with
the public. Wayne agrees, advising his brother to
distance himself from Anne because voters don't
want to hear about him being involved with
another untrustworthy woman.
Anne gets a call from her ex-husband, Ted. He
wants her to come to his office because he has
papers that will prove that she is innocent. She
reluctantly agrees to see him.
Chase goes to the home of Salazar's accountant
and demands that he tell him where Hector is.
The man doesn't know. Chase makes him check
the books to take a look at the Salazar money
flow.
Salazar is still distracted by the thought of Jack in
the next room. He quickly grabs a gun and goes
into the front cabin to kill Jack. But Jack grabs
Salazar's arm and holds him at gunpoint while
warning the other henchmen to drop their
weapons. Salazar says that his brother will have
an army waiting when they land. "The big
American hero," he calls Jack.
Hector prepares a fully armed team on the
ground for the plane's arrival in Mexico. Claudia
questions why he's making such a big fuss, and
proposes that he phone the plane. Hector thinks
that the call would be monitored by the American
government.
Chappelle continues his interrogation.
Regardless of the torture, Gael still won't talk.
Gael's phone rings and Chappelle has Adam and
Kim prepare a tracking node to capture Hector's
call. They quickly set up in the observation room
and Chappelle warns Gael to speak carefully.
Gael answers the phone, and tells Hector that his
brother is safely on his way there. However, Gael
doesn't know about Jack. Hector hangs up.
Adam could not trace the call.
Michelle arrives at the hospital to find Tony
awake. The doctor says that Tony can probably
go home tomorrow and should be back on his
feet in a few days. Tony asks Michelle about
Salazar, and he learns that Jack broke him out of
prison. Tony says that he needs to speak to Gael
right away. Michelle informs him that Gael is
working as a mole inside CTU. Tony gets up out
of bed insisting that he has to go to the office. He
tells the doctor that his wife will sign him out, and
asks Michelle to trust him.
The accountant finds records of deposits that
Hector made to an account in Las Nieves, which
is a small town in Mexico close to the border.
Chase orders the accountant to prepare his
private plane for takeoff.
In the ladies restroom, Kim is still shaken by what
happened with Gael. Chloe comes in to
apologize for saying anything bad about Jack.
Chase calls Kim on her cell phone to say that he
is not coming back until he finds Jack. He thinks
Jack may have taken Salazar to Las Nieves. Kim
informs Chase that she saw video recorded by
the mole Gael that shows Jack being knocked
out and taken on a plane. Since CTU has been
compromised, Chase insists that Kim not tell
anyone what he is doing. Kim is reluctant to stay
silent, because it could jeopardize both him and
Jack, but she finally agrees not to tell anyone that
Chase is going dark.
Salazar jokingly asks Jack what his plan will be
when they land to face hundreds of armed men.
Jack tells him to shut up.
The jet lands on the Mexican airstrip. Hector
readies his men.
Michelle and Tony enter CTU to everyone's
shock. Tony goes to stop the interrogation. He
orders Chappelle out so that he can talk to Gael
alone. Confused by what's going on, Chappelle
refuses to leave.
On the tarmac, the jet's hatch opens but no one
emerges. Hector calls out for his brother.
Suddenly, everyone on the plane quickly exits.
Salazar is forced out by Jack at gunpoint.
Salazar yells for Hector to kill Jack, but no one
fires. Jack tells Hector that Salazar tried to kill
him on the plane and that this wasn't what they
agreed to. Hector embraces his brother and Jack
lowers his gun. Salazar is confused as Hector
approaches Jack and tells him that he did a good
job. He embraces Jack. They both have the
same tattoo on their arms. "We have a lot of
work to do," Hector says to Jack. Salazar is
speechless. Hector tells his brother that he will
explain later.
Jack presses a button on his watch. In the
interrogation room at CTU, Gael's handheld
makes a beep noise. "He's in," Gael says. Tony
tells Chappelle that he and Gael have been
working to infiltrate Jack back in with the
Salazars. Before he can clarify more, Tony says
that they first need to contact the President.
