Jack, Chase and the SWAT team wait outside
the building. When Saunders doesn't emerge,
Jack orders the apartment to be gassed. Jack is
surprised to learn that Tony moved every agent
to the front instead of positioned on all sides.
Jack calls Tony to question his judgment, but
Tony blames it on a staff error. Chase goes
inside to find that Saunders is gone.
Chloe asks Tony why he told Jack that someone
on his team made a mistake.
Tony goes into the tech room and deletes
satellite imagery of Saunders leaving the
building. Saunders calls Tony on his cell phone
and demands the release of Jane. Saunders
threatens to kill Michelle if his daughter is not
handed over.
Tony hangs up to take another call from the
President. He has to give Palmer the bad news
that Saunders escaped. Palmer is adamant that
Jane Saunders be surrounded with tight security.
The President sees a news report about his
campaign opponent, Senator Keeler, losing
endorsements because the public feels Palmer is
handling the raised threat level instead of playing
politics. Palmer isn't concerned. "The only thing
that matters is stopping Stephen Saunders," he
says gravely.
Jack and Chase are confused as to how
Saunders got out without them noticing. They
leave the scene to go back to CTU. Jack
confirms with Chloe that Saunders had definitely
been in the building.
Kim and Jane arrive at CTU. They are informed
that Saunders has not been captured.
Michelle is taken by Saunders's henchmen to a
holding room. She is bound and gagged.
Going through the satellite footage, Chloe notices
that a few frames are missing from the view of
Saunders's building. She approaches Adam, who
is talking with his virus-infected sister. Chloe
surmises that Saunders has a mole inside CTU
who had access to the imagery. She won't notify
Tony until she has more information.
Jane Saunders is afraid that Jack will hurt her,
but Tony promises that he won't let anyone harm
her.
Saunders calls Tony and asks to speak to his
daughter. "You have my wife. I want to talk to her
first," Tony replies, threatening to kill Jane if
anything happens to Michelle. Saunders lets
Michelle briefly talk to Tony. Then Tony puts
Jane on speaker phone. Saunders tells her not to
believe what the U.S. government says. He is
only doing things in "good cause." Tony picks up
the phone and tells Saunders that he will have to
go through clearances to get Jane out of CTU.
Adam confirms that someone inside Tony's group
purged the frames on the surveillance feed, but
he doesn't know who it is. Chloe gets a call from
Dr. Macer who does not know the whereabouts
of Michelle. The agent assigned to Michelle is not
answering his phone.
Adam warns Tony that someone from his group
has breached security. Tony asks him to lock the
agency down. Chloe then tells Tony that Michelle
can't be found. Tony gives a fake explanation
that he secretly moved Michelle to another
location.
Tony gives Chloe a record of a call he just
received from Saunders. He doesn't want her to
tell Adam about it.
Senator Keeler asks his chief of staff to use
contacts at the Pentagon to find out what is really
going on with the raised threat level. Keeler gets
a surprise call from Sherry Palmer. She wants to
see him about a high-value proposition.
Jack and Chase enter CTU, and are shocked to
find out that someone inside the agency
intentionally wiped out the satellite frames which
allowed Saunders to escape.
Tony tells Jane that she will be moved very soon.
Jack summons Tony from the holding room.
Jack interrogates Tony on the theory that there is
a mole inside CTU. Tony is against setting off
any alarms at Division. Jack offers to call Brad
Hammond at Division, but Tony says he already
has a conference call scheduled with Hammond
and will fill him in then. On his way up to his
office, Jack stops at Adam's desk. Adam verifies
that no conference call has been booked with
Hammond.
Sherry enters Keeler's campaign headquarters
and offers him a way to win the election against
her ex-husband. She explains that she was an
accessory to the murder of Alan Milliken, and that
Palmer lied to the police in order to hide it. Sherry
has the prescription bottle that Milliken was
reaching for when he suffered a heart attack. She
knows that Palmer will drop out of the race if
Keeler blackmails him for the evidence. In return,
Sherry wants a job on Keeler's White House
staff.
Wayne tells Palmer that one his sources claims
Sherry met privately with Senator Keeler.
Although Wayne wants to assign someone to find
out the reason, Palmer insists that they ignore it
to focus on the virus threat.
One of Saunders's techies sees that CTU is
trying to access his location through the cell
phone. Saunders wants Michelle to tell him how
CTU is attempting to find him. Michelle bravely
refuses to answer. Saunders calls Tony again
and warns him that he's slicing Michelle's face
unless Tony stops the phone trace.
Tony calls Chloe to shut down the phone trace.
Jack accuses Tony of lying to him. He knows
there was no scheduled call with Hammond.
Tony admits that he was the one who made the
mistake, and he tried to cover it up. Jack says he
is taking away his command of CTU.
Adam lets Tony know that he's been trying to
narrow down who has been working with
Saunders from the inside. Tony says that Jack
took over CTU from him.
Tony calls Saunders in a panic with news that
Jack is now in charge. Saunders advises him to
get Jane out of the building or else Michelle will
be killed.
Jack informs Kim that Tony has stepped down
because he is hiding something from him. Jack
wants Kim to monitor all stations and to flag
communications. He doesn't know who else to
trust.
Chloe tells Tony that she was able to pull voice
track on his call with Saunders but that she hasn't
listened to it yet. Tony becomes worried.
Tony sees Jack calling Adam, and he turns on
the audio feed at Adam's desk to listen in. Jack
has Adam give Kim access to his volumes
because she's monitoring something. He asks
Adam to send Chloe to his office. Tony calls
Adam and says that he is on the line with Chloe.
Adam mentions that Jack is looking for her, and
Tony offers to pass that information on to her.
Inside the tech room, Chloe pulls up the voice
track and hears Tony ask Saunders to speak to
Michelle. Chloe becomes alarmed and picks up
the phone to notify someone. Her line is dead.
Tony has locked down the tech room and its
systems. Chloe becomes trapped inside.
Jack announces to the crew that he is taking over
command of CTU because Tony has stepped
down. Meanwhile, Tony goes into the holding
room for Jane Saunders. He knocks out the
security guard and takes Jane out.
Kim notices that Chloe hasn't refreshed her
system. She notifies Chase and Jack of this
unusual circumstance. They can't get a feed on
the tech room where Chloe is working because
someone has blocked the access.
With a known hostile on the inside, Chase and
Jack call for a security sweep of the entire
building. They override the access code to the
tech room, and find Chloe locked inside. She tells
Jack that Saunders is using Michelle as leverage
to get his daughter out. Jack radios for a location
on Tony, but he is not found.
As Tony drives Jane out, Jack locks down the
CTU complex. He learns that Jane is missing.
Tony phones Saunders to tell him that he's out.
He has less than thirty minutes until the satellite
will spot him.
Senator Keeler requests to speak to President
Palmer in person. |
