There are some good recaps and forums here:
http://www.televisionwithoutpity.com/show.cgi?show=73
And American Idol eats a dick. Save this crap for any other day of the week. There is no demographic overlap at all between the audiences. And the execs are definitely a bunch of shaven monkeys in suits. As to their quantity of asses i will not speculate at this point.
Here's the Fox recap of 1pm - 6pm:
1:00 P.M.
As Nina waits in a secured CTU room, Jack is handed her case file. Yet he knows all about her and doesn’t need it to interrogate her.
At Palmer’s retreat, reporters bombard him with questions about the helicopter crash and any possible connection to the CTU bombing. The President only reveals that there will be an investigation forthcoming. Jenny Dodge promises the media that a statement will be released when credible information is confirmed. Palmer walks inside to find his ex-wife Sherry waiting for him. She asks to speak with him privately about his administration, but Palmer dismisses her. Sherry piques his interest when she mentions that she heard military personnel have been evacuated out of Los Angeles. Palmer leaves, telling her to wait. Since he specifically requested that no evacuations were to take place, Lynne is assigned the task of finding out what happened.
1:06 P.M.
Tony continues to question Reza at the Warner residence. Reza complains of racial profiling, but Tony explains why his accusations are valid and refuses Reza’s request for a lawyer.
1:08 P.M.
NSA chief Roger Stanton theorizes whether the helicopter crash was actually premeditated, because the Prime Minister was unhappy with his Ambassador doing business with America. Yet Palmer suggests that perhaps forces within his own government caused the crash. He orders Lynne to set up an independent inquiry to find out the truth.
1:09 P.M.
Jack vows to Mason that he will put aside his anger and get Nina to disclose everything. He walks into the interrogation room and slaps her Presidential pardon on the table. Nina claims that she needs to be sent to Visalia because her contact there will only tell her where the bomb is in person. Jack is reluctant to trust her, and demands her contact’s name. Nina, under the assumption that CTU will remove Jack from the case if he harms her, stands her ground. Her smugness only enrages Jack to slams her against the wall. Holding her throat, he threatens to kill her unless she tells him what he wants to know. Watching outside from a monitor, Mason immediately orders Jack removed from the room. He questions Jack’s motives, but Jack says that it is all part of his plan to convince Nina that he is putting his own revenge ahead of stopping the bomb. Mason notices that while Nina is visibly afraid, Jack is completely calm. Jack asks for another five minutes with her, and requests that the thermostat be turned up ten degrees in the interrogation room. Mason agrees to this.
1:18 P.M.
Kate tries to explain her side of the story to her crying sister. She suggests that they may have to cancel the wedding, but Marie refuses. Marie only wants Kate to stop trying to control her life.
1:19 P.M.
As they search the hospital for Megan, Kim and Miguel see Gary talking to a doctor outside of Megan’s room. The doctor warns Gary that the causes of Megan’s concussion have yet to be determined so she must be kept for observation. Panicking, Gary books two tickets to Mexico and begins to dress Megan.
1:21 P.M.
Jack returns to the interrogation room and pulls out a gun. He fires shots into the wall past Nina’s head, demanding a name from her. Jack aims at her head, and she admits that the man in Visalia is Mamud Faheen. Jack already knows that name, and he wants to know what their relationship is. Faheen had introduced Nina to Joseph Wald because Wald wanted her schematics for CTU. Yet Nina refuses to give Jack Faheen’s exact location unless she is permitted to go to Visalia. Her pardon won’t mean anything if she is killed. Jack turns to the video monitor. Watching from outside, Mason orders Michelle to notify the authorities in Visalia.
1:23 P.M.
Lynne learns that military personnel and resources began evacuating an hour ago under Roger Stanton’s orders. Palmer has her countermand the evacuation, returning the forces back to their bases. He then confronts Stanton about this, but Stanton apologizes. He was only following up on what he thought was the President’s command. Palmer asks him to make sure his orders to rescind the evacuation are executed. Knowing Sherry’s intelligence was correct, he agrees to meet with her.
As he dresses Megan, Gary apologizes for hurting her and explains that they are leaving. A nurse knocks on the door to inform Gary that he has a phone call at the nurse’s station. He tells Megan not to move and goes to take the call from someone in accounts receivable about his bill. The caller is really Miguel, who stalls Gary so that Kim can slip into Megan’s room. Kim persuades Megan that she is only trying to protect her. When Gary returns to the room, he finds Megan is missing. He angrily alerts the nurse.
1:32 P.M.
Kim, Megan and Miguel rush down the stairwell. Megan begins to cry because she thinks that her father will get mad and hurt her. Kim tries to convince her that he will continue to hurt her unless she leaves with them. Back at the room, the nurse tells Gary that no one has seen Megan, and he orders security to find her. Kim, Miguel and Megan hide in an examination room when the security guards block the entrances.
1:34 P.M.
Mason arranges for an agent named Miller to accompany Jack and Nina on their flight to Visalia. Jack again assures Mason that he won’t put the lives of millions on the line to satisfy his own revenge. Mason still wants Miller there as a precaution. Mason gets hit with a fit of coughing, and Jack encourages him to go be with his family in his last hours.
1:35 P.M.
Palmer enters his retreat where Sherry is waiting. She won’t reveal how she learned about the military evacuation, but asks to allow her to help him. Sherry tells Palmer that she still loves him, but she needs to know what he is up against so she can be of some assistance. Palmer realizes that he needs all the help he can muster, and he discloses that there is the threat of a nuclear strike in Los Angeles. Sherry is stunned, and admits that a high level staffer at the Defense Department told her about the evacuation because members of the administration are allying against Palmer for control of his presidency. She offers to aid him in weeding out these people who disagree with his policies. Palmer accepts her help on the condition that it is only in the best interest of the country. He warns her that it better not be one of her manipulations back into his personal life.
1:43 P.M.
Kate greets Reza’s parents when they arrive at the Warner house. They ask to see their son, and Kate tells them that government agents are there to question him about alleged terrorist activity. The Naiyeers are convinced that Reza is being treated unfairly only because he is Middle Eastern.
Miguel leaves the exam room, grabs a flat screen computer monitor from a desk and runs. The distracted security guard chases after him, allowing Kim and Megan to escape. Gary sees the girls from the hospital window and heads outside.
1:47 P.M.
In the transport van, Nina tries to make small talk with Agent Miller in an attempt to convey that he is only there to protect her against Jack. Yet Miller ignores her, and takes a bottle of water from Jack.
1:54 P.M.
Tony presses Reza about a money transfer to Syed Ali under his name, but Reza claims ignorance. Tony threatens to walk him out in handcuffs past his parents. Reza relents, and admits to only confirming the transfers to cover for Bob Warner -- Marie’s father.
Waiting for Miguel, Kim and Megan duck behind cars in the hospital parking but are spotted by Gary. He threatens to throw Kim in jail unless she turns over his daughter. She refuses. Gary grabs Kim’s hair and is about to strike her when Miguel appears and body slams Gary. The men fight, and Miguel knocks Gary out cold with a roundhouse martial arts kick to the face. They grab Gary’s keys and run for his parked car nearby.
Reza comforts both Marie and his parents with news of his exoneration. Yet when Tony asks to speak to Bob Warner, Kate turns to Reza. Reza explains that he only told the truth to Tony.
1:59 P.M.
Miller informs Jack that their team is assembled in Visalia, but he immediately passes out. Jack eases Miller’s body down on the seat. Nina notices the water bottle that Jack gave to him, and she realizes that Miller has been drugged. Jack cocks his gun and smiles at Nina. A look of fear spreads over her face.
2:00 P.M.
As they arrive at the airbase, Nina alerts the agents securing the area that Jack had drugged Agent Miller to get her alone. Once aboard the CTU jet, Agent Phillips tells Jack that he will make sure Nina is kept safe.
2:03 P.M.
Marie reproaches Kate for wrongfully incriminating Reza and for opening up the witch hunt on their family. Kate then turns on Reza for implicating Bob to save himself, but Reza says that Bob must be the one who is guilty. Reza only told the truth. With her sister and future husband fighting, Marie bursts into tears and runs out of the room.
Palmer’s Chief of Staff Mike Novick arrives in Oregon from Washington, and is surprised to see Sherry at the retreat. She tells him that she has learned from her past mistakes. Lynne and Palmer discuss how to handle the Ron Wieland situation. The reporter’s crew has not seen him since the Secret Service took him into custody. Novick, who has found precedent for the executive branch’s measures against the press in times of national crisis, suggests they buy time by having Richard Armus leak a story about Wieland being away on personal business.
2:08 P.M.
Michelle informs Mason that Jack drugged Miller to get Nina alone. Mason is hardly taken aback, and goes into his office. He opens his shirt to reveal a radiation rash on his chest.
Despite Sherry’s knowledge of the military evacuation, Novick is not sure that she is correct about a vast conspiracy within the government, but he promises the President that he will investigate the situation. Palmer advocates that Novick begin with NSA Director Roger Stanton, Stanton had always been close with the just-fired Eric Rayburn.
2:11 P.M.
Jack tries to physically threaten Nina to reveal where Faheen is, but Phillips intervenes. Jack orders her to get changed into civilian clothes so that she will blend in. Not trusting her, he has her strip in his presence.
2:17 P.M.
Mason calls his estranged son, John, whom he hasn’t spoken with in two years. He asks John to come to see him at CTU. John refuses.
2:19 P.M.
The CTU jet lands at the Davenport Airfield in Visalia and is met by a squadron of FBI agents. After deplaning, Nina gives up the name of Faheen’s location: a store called Crescent Collectibles. Jack wants Nina to go along with him there.
2:20 P.M.
Novick approaches Stanton, and requests an update on all the intel that Stanton has compiled. Lynne briefs the President about CTU locating weapons grade nuclear material in a warehouse. When she tells him that Jack is working directly with Nina Myers to find the terrorist, Palmer becomes alarmed.
2:22 P.M.
Jack and the FBI agents prepare for the raid on Faheen and Nina tells them what to expect. She had already given Faheen protocols from CTU, and Faheen is prepared to kill himself to protect their plan. Jack wants Nina to go in first and convince Faheen that she has gotten out of prison. Nina is worried that Faheen will be suspicious, and shoot her before turning the gun on himself. Jack says they will prevent Faheen from committing suicide. He will not be responsible for saving Nina.
2:28 P.M.
Tony calls Mason to tell him that Bob Warner is the new suspect. Bob claims not to know anything about Syed Ali. Mason wants both Bob and Reza brought to CTU for further questioning, and gives Tony authority to arrest them if necessary. Although Reza is resistant, Bob asks him to comply with Tony’s demand. Marie insists on accompanying Reza. Bob instructs Kate to notify their guests about the wedding’s postponement and to contact his lawyer.
2:33 P.M.
Lynne meets with Palmer and Novick but is hesitant to speak because Sherry is in the room. Palmer introduces the women, and explains that he has granted Sherry a provisional security clearance. He gives Lynne permission to disclose secrets in front of his ex-wife. Lynne is shocked to learn that Stanton is a suspect in a plot against the President. Sherry boldly tells Lynne that she found out Stanton and Rayburn were having secret meetings with a Senator. Lynne, however, already knows about those meetings and explains that they have nothing to do with this situation. She offers up detailed records on their context. Regardless, Palmer wants to be certain that Stanton is not working against them. Lynne and Sherry trade distrustful looks.
2:38 P.M.
Kate phones her private investigator, but gets the man’s boss instead. Paul Koplin assures her that he is familiar with her case. Kate asks Koplin for help accessing her father’s private data records.
Sherry lets Lynne know that she was one of the people who put Palmer in office, and that she is important enough to provide help. Overhearing this, Palmer warns Sherry about trying to compete with Lynne. He tells her that he is keeping her around despite advice on the contrary from others in his Administration.
2:42 P.M.
As Nina enters Crescent Collectibles, Jack waits outside the store. A wire attached to her necklace transmits both voice and picture to him. Michelle is watching and listening from CTU as well. A woman working in the store tells Faheen over an intercom that Nina is out of prison and is there to see him. When she brings Nina into a back room, the reception on Jack’s monitor goes out. Michelle describes for him what she is viewing and the translator relays what they are saying. Nina lies to Faheen, saying that she had to pay someone to escape from prison and that she needs his help to flee the country. Since Michelle can not confirm that it is indeed Faheen, Jack holds the FBI SWAT team from raiding the building. Yet when Faheen hugs Nina the audio goes dead. Jack orders the raid, and agents shoot their way into every entrance. Jack finds Faheen unconscious and Nina gone. He enters the basement of the building to look for her.
2:51 P.M.
Nina runs to a gated door from the basement, but it is locked. As she pulls a gun to blow off the padlock, Jack traps her. She drops her gun, turns her back to him and places her hands on her head. Jack trains his weapon on the back of her head and pauses. After debating what to do, he then slaps handcuffs on her.
2:53 P.M.
In Gary’s car, Kim calls her Aunt Carol to say that she is on her way there. Megan is asleep in the back seat. Suddenly, they are pulled over by the police for speeding. Miguel hands over the registration and the cop goes to call it in. Kim and Miguel brace themselves for the worst.
An LAPD officer leads a handcuffed John Mason into CTU. Mason uncuffs his son and apologizes for the manner in which he was brought in. Mason gives John the number of a secret bank account where he has stashed a few hundred thousand dollars, but John does not want the money. Without giving specifics, Mason tells his son that he is dying. He then asks him to leave Los Angeles because it is unsafe. John is confused, and Mason hugs him. Mason makes his son leave so he won’t see how emotionally wrought he is.
2:59 P.M.
The policeman lets Miguel off with a warning. As he walks back to his squad car, the cop notices blood dripping from the trunk and stops them. He orders Miguel to open the trunk. Miguel is stunned to see a woman’s dead body inside. The policeman pulls his gun on Miguel and forces him to the ground. He orders Kim to exit the car and calls for backup. Kim gets out and recognizes that it is Carla inside the trunk. Megan wakes up from the commotion, but Kim tells her to stay in the car. She doesn’t want Megan to see her mother’s dead body.
3:00 P.M.
Kim and Miguel try to explain their story to the highway patrolman, but he doesn’t understand why they are fleeing the city instead of seeking help from the police. He places them under arrest.
Tony escorts Reza, Marie and Bob Warner into the ruins of CTU. Bob asks if he can speak to Tony privately, but Tony dismisses him. Although both Reza and Bob’s stories have contradicted each other, Tony lets Mason know that there is definitely some connection to Syed Ali. Mason gives him permission to do whatever it takes to find the answers.
3:03 P.M.
In the O.C., Stanton inquires to Lynne about Sherry’s provisional security clearance. At the retreat, Sherry finds out that the reporter Ron Wieland is missing. She presses Palmer about his being held hostage, reasoning that the man’s disappearance will only raise more questions. Sherry offers her assistance in trying to persuade Wieland to accept an exclusive on-air interview.
Before being taken away in a squad car, Kim appeals to the officer to not bring Megan back to Los Angeles. Yet, despite Miguel’s pleas, she will still not reveal why it is unsafe. She gives the cop Jack’s information and asks him to contact her father. The policeman says he will call once Kim has been processed. She fears it will be too late.
3:08 P.M.
At the Crescent Collectibles store in Visalia, Nina attempts to get information from Faheen. As she speaks to him in Arabic, Michelle’s translator deciphers the conversation for Jack over the monitor. Faheen, however, won’t disclose anything, and Jack gets impatient. He drags Nina back to the car so that they can head back to Los Angeles. The other agents won’t let Jack leave with Nina alone, and they raise their guns to make him retreat from the car.
3:14 P.M.
Paul Koplin, the boss of Kate’s private investigator Ralph Burton, comes to the Warner house to see her. He is familiar with the files that link Reza to Syed Ali, and he attaches some kind of transmitter to the back of Bob’s computer. Kate is slightly alarmed to see that Koplin is carrying a gun, but she shows him the records that she is having trouble accessing in the computer.
3:15 P.M.
Roger Stanton stops Armus as he is escorting Sherry to a restricted area in the O.C. She assures the dubious Stanton that she has been granted right of entry, and she goes into the holding room where Wieland is being kept. Sherry promises Wieland that, if he does not reveal anything about the rumors he had threatened to broadcast, he will be given permission to report from inside the O.C. No other journalist has ever been allowed to do so.
3:18 P.M.
In the van transporting the nuclear device, Basheer gets off the phone and informs Marko and Omar that “Everybody is ready” for them to deliver the bomb. The van suddenly gets a flat tire and they are forced to pull over. They realize that there is a part missing that would detract from fixing the tire. A pool man pulls over and offers them his assistance. Basheer accepts the man’s help.
3:20 P.M.
As they ride back to Los Angeles on the CTU jet, Nina tries to persuade Faheen to cooperate with Jack and about the bomb. Michelle is still having their conversation in Arabic translated into Jack’s earpiece. Faheen tells Nina he is not afraid to die for his cause, and he calls her a traitor. Yet Nina still has a piece of a gift card in her hand that she grabbed when she entered Crescent Collectibles. It is unseen by anyone else. Jack takes Nina aside. She confirms that she did not know anything about the nuclear bomb, but she has no other information about the plan.
3:27 P.M.
The pool man kindly puts a spare tire on Marko’s van, and Basheer thanks him graciously by offering to pay. The pool man doesn’t accept the money, and gives Basheer his business card instead. Marko, who is staring at a group of children playing nearby, tentatively gets back into the van.
While driving Kim to the station, the highway patrolman discusses the situation with another policeman on the phone. He then informs Kim that Miguel told another officer that they were leaving town because some kind of bomb is going off in Los Angeles. Kim pleads with the man to call her father at CTU and keep Megan away from the city. Sensing that perhaps Kim is not lying, the patrolman calls dispatch and asks to be put through to the FBI. The dispatcher says that they have been unable to contact the FBI because of jammed lines. The policeman begins to suspect that something is indeed wrong.
3:29 P.M.
Sherry returns to the retreat to report back to Palmer. Wieland will not conform to their demands. Palmer dismisses her, but Sherry asks why he won’t give her a second chance. She admits that she once got caught up in the political power, but she has now realized her limits. Sherry only wants to help him so that she can regain his confidence. Palmer accepts her help again, with the caveat that she receive nothing in return.
3:31 P.M.
As he drives, thoughts go through Marko’s head. He pulls the van off the road and Basheer reprimands him. “I don’t want to do this. I don’t want to kill anyone,” Marko says. Basheer shoots him in the chest, and gets out to retrieve Marko’s body. Yet when Basheer gets to the other door, the still living Marko shoots him back. They both fall out of the van dead. Omar sees the two men’s bodies and is confused about what to do.
3:37 P.M.
In Bob’s computer, Koplin finds transaction records confirming that Reza withdrew money. There is also a consulting check made out to Syed Ali for $475,000. Koplin then uncovers government files on the database, which Kate merely attributes to Bob’s government clients. Suddenly, the files begin to auto-delete themselves, and Koplin hits some keys to freeze them. The screen becomes filled with ASCII codes, and Koplin recognizes them as encoded coordinate addresses. The only people with files such as these would have government security clearance. Kate is confused as to why this would be on her father’s machine.
3:40 P.M.
Tony comes into the CTU interrogation room where Bob Warner is being held and turns on a tape recorder. Bob admits that he is working as a consultant for the CIA, and he gives Tony the contact code of his liaison there. Because of its international investment business, Bob’s company passes information back and forth to an unknown source. Yet Bob does not know Syed Ali or how there would be any record of him doing business with him. Tony goes to verify Bob’s story and alerts Mason of the discovery.
3:43 P.M.
Michelle gets a call from the California Highway Patrol. They have Kim in custody for a charge of murder. She phones Jack on the jet and connects him on the line with Kimberly. Kim explains what happened. She is sure that Gary must have killed Carla. Although Jack vows that someone from CTU will retrieve her, Kim wants him to come himself. Jack notices that Nina and Faheen are engaged in a hushed conversation on the other side of the plane. With Kim still on the line, Michelle translates their conversation for Jack. Nina said that she has the power to save Faheen’s family from being rounded up by U.S. forces. Yet Michelle can’t pick up any more of what they are saying because they are talking too quietly. Jack asks Nina what Faheen just told her. “Everything,” she says before slitting Faheen’s throat with the shard of gift card she was palming. Jack leaps out of his seat to restrain Nina while the other agents rush to stop the bleeding in Faheen’s neck. Faheen dies. Nina, who now is the only one who knows where the bomb is, stipulates that Jack re-route the plan to San Diego so that she can flee the country. She will only tell him the information when they are on the ground. Mason, who has been listening on the phone, gives in to her demand because they are running out of time. Jack insists that they will hold her until they can confirm the validity of what she divulges.
3:51 P.M.
Michelle tells Mason that she picked up a name from the recordings of Faheen’s muted admission to Nina. Michelle connected the name Marko Khatami to Syed Ali. Mason goes over to Reza, grabs him by the neck and pins him to the wall. Reza says that he does not know Marko Khatami, and Mason calls him a liar. Tony pulls Mason off, as Marie goes to Reza’s aid.
At the highway patrol station, the officer leads Kim and Miguel out of their holding rooms and tells them that they are being transferred to someone at CTU. She asks about Megan, insisting that the little girl not be taken back to Los Angeles. The policeman once again pushes Kim to reveal what is going on, and she finally admits that there is a nuclear bomb loose in the city.
3:54 P.M.
Michelle tells Tony that she was not able to retrieve anything else from the tape. Noticing that she is rattled, he inquires about her well being. “We’re going to survive this day,” Tony says warmly.
Palmer asks Lynne what she thinks about Sherry being around. She says that she will defer to anything he wants. They are interrupted by a live news broadcast. Wieland is reporting that there is an imminent threat to national security by Middle Eastern terrorist cels working with the possible involvement of domestic terrorist groups. Wieland also confirms that the President knows about this and is not telling the American public. Palmer asks Mike Novick how Wieland got out, and he demands to see Armus, who had been overseeing Wieland’s captivity.
3:56 P.M.
As Kate walks Koplin out of the house, she wonders why her father didn’t already know about Reza’s illegal involvement if he was supposedly working with the government. Bob wouldn’t have let his daughter marry Reza if he had been under investigation, and he had always treated Reza like a son. Koplin says that he knows Tony Almeida and will call him. Suddenly, two men appear in the yard and attack Kate and Koplin. The men inject something into their necks and toss the limp bodies of Kate and Koplin into a parked truck. It pulls out of the Warner driveway.
3:59 P.M.
As a shackled Nina sits on the CTU jet, Jack recalls to Nina a fond memory of his wife Teri in the days before she was killed. “That’s what you took from this world, Nina,” he says. “That’s what you took from me and my daughter.” Suddenly, an explosion rocks the plane and an alarm sounds. The jet jostles, and bodies are tossed about the cabin.
4:00 P.M.
While reporter Ron Wieland tells the news networks about being detained by the President, Sherry works the phones in the retreat to try and find out who Wieland’s source is inside the Administration. Palmer comes in and confronts her because he believes that she had something to do with Wieland’s release. Sherry denies the accusation, and even swears on the lives of their children that she was not responsible. Mike Novick interrupts them, and shows the President a security tape from 25 minutes ago. On the video, Armus is seen releasing Wieland from the holding room.
As the CTU jet descends in flames, the pilot tells Jack that he found a safe spot by a riverbed to crash land. Jack manages to call Mason at CTU and gives him the coordinates of the site. While Mason listens in, Jack begs Nina for the location of the bomb. Regardless of her pardon, she refuses to disclose the information. Even if they survive the crash, she fears that Jack will kill her. Jack pledges that he will not harm her, but she does not believe him. Agent Phillips trains his gun on Nina and demands to know about the bomb, but Jack orders him to get away from her. The pilot says that they will not make it to the riverbed, and as Jack relays the news to Mason, the phone goes dead.
4:06 P.M.
Palmer orders Novick to find Armus. He then goes in to apologize to Sherry for doubting her. She asks how he will deal with the turn of events, and Palmer plans to go directly to the press himself to attack Wieland’s credibility. Sherry suggests that he just tell the truth because it has worked for him in the past. Novick informs the President that Jack Bauer’s plane went down.
4:08 P.M.
At the crash site in the Angeles National Forest, the still-alive Jack rolls out of the fuselage. A tree branch is lodged in his thigh. He yanks it out, and stumbles to find Agent Phillips barely alive. Jack takes Phillips’ cell phone and keys. Searching the wreckage, Jack locates Nina. She is unconscious but still strapped to her seat. He uses Phillips’ keys to unlock Nina, and performs CPR to resuscitate her.
4:16 P.M.
Michelle shows Mason satellite images from the time of the plane’s explosion. The streaks on the image prove that a ground-to-air missile shot down the jet. Mason’s nose begins to bleed, and he leaves Michelle’s workstation.
4:17 P.M.
Tony stops Mason to ask why he authorized placing Reza Naiyeer and Bob Warner in the same room. Mason argues that separating them wasn’t helping, so he tried a different tactic. Tony questions Mason’s sudden change of attitude, and Mason finally reveals that he was exposed to plutonium. Mason goes into the room where Reza and Bob are being held. He tells them that weapons-grade plutonium was found in a warehouse where it is believed a nuclear bomb was assembled. A bill for a container delivery from Warner’s company was found at the warehouse. Mason gives the men ten minutes to tell him the truth.
4:19 P.M.
The police officer tells Kim and Miguel that they are being transferred from the sheriff’s station to central booking in downtown Los Angeles. He says that his captain overruled CTU’s decision to detain them because they are suspects in a capital crime and there are no alerts about any bombs. Kim assures Miguel that her father will help them once he finds out what happened. Miguel reminds her of what she had previously said about Jack’s state of mind. Kim regrets her past statements. She was angry and had blamed Jack for her mother’s death. She knows that it wasn’t really Jack’s fault.
4:21 P.M.
Tony and Mason listen in as Reza and Bob speak to each other. Reza questions Bob’s involvement, and asks about his supposed CIA activities. Bob tells Reza to be quiet. Reza starts to doubt Bob’s innocence, and he says directly to the security camera that he can track the order to prove that Bob authorized the shipment. Bob approaches Reza threateningly, and the guards step in to break them apart. As he is being dragged out, Reza says “I’m not taking the fall for you, Bob.”
4:28 P.M.
Michelle tells Tony that she knows about Mason’s radiation poisoning. Not only was Hazmat involved with the warehouse he raided, but she saw his nose bleed. Tony reluctantly admits to Mason’s deteriorating health. He assures her that Mason is committed to doing his job, and that he will be there to watch Mason’s back.
4:30 P.M.
Sherry hands Lynne changes she made on the President’s remarks to the press corps. She had acquired a copy from press secretary Jenny Dodge even before Lynne gave it to the President. Lynne is angry, and accuses Sherry of insinuating herself where she doesn’t belong. Sherry insists that she is not trespassing on Lynne’s territory, and tells her that she needs her revisions to make Palmer’s speech perfect.
4:31 P.M.
Jack finds a flare gun, and takes the handcuffed Nina with him away from the crash site. As they begin to walk, they see camouflaged soldiers inspecting the wreckage. Jack doesn’t recognize them as a CTU Search and Rescue team. His reservations are confirmed when one of the soldiers shoots Agent Phillips. Jack pulls Nina to the ground and asks her if the soldiers are coming to claim her. Nina denies knowing them. As one approaches their direction, Jack shoots the soldier with the flare gun. The other soldiers hear the man’s cries, and turn in his direction. Jack sends Nina to the hills, and grabs the fallen soldier’s rifle. He fires at the other soldiers, then heads off to where Nina ran. They stop in a creek bed and crouch down. Jack unlocks Nina’s handcuffs and gives her the ammunition. He orders her to run reconnaissance while he continues firing at the soldiers.
4:33 P.M.
In a suburban house, Syed Ali snaps an amyl nitrate popper under the nose of an unconscious Kate Warner. She awakens groggily, and Ali greets her by name. He tells her who he is, and Kate recognizes his name. Ali asks her what she found in her father’s files, but Kate claims innocence. Ali grabs Kate and brings her to another room in the house where a naked Paul Koplin is tied up with his arms hoisted over his head. Ali’s assistant Mohsen tests a power tool to torture Koplin with. Ali, who is aware that Bob Warner worked for the CIA, demands to know what the two found in the computer. Both Kate and Koplin explain that they didn’t see anything because the files self-deleted themselves. Ali accuses Kate of lying, telling her that “Nothing can get in the way of this sacred day.” When Kate says that she is not lying, Mohsen approaches Koplin’s body with the power tool. Koplin’s screams are deafened by the soundproof insulation in the torture room.

As Nina holds Jack hostage in the Angeles National Forest, she tells him that their predicament is not personal. She only killed his wife because Teri had overheard details about her escape route. Unbeknownst to Nina, Jack spots a sharpshooter in the woods, but the shooter does not have a good angle. Jack walks forward to bring Nina into the shooter’s range.

In a helicopter en route to the address that Nina provided, Jack calls Palmer to tell him that the soldiers who attacked his plane were either Americans or American-trained.

The President does not know the unit, and Jack informs him that it is buried within the budget of NSA. Palmer wonders whether the soldier was merely working as a mercenary outside of the government. Yet Jack construes that only someone with inside knowledge could have had access to the shot-down plane’s flight plan.

The President asks NSA Director Roger Stanton about both the Coral Snake special ops unit and Colonel Samuels at Fort Benning. Stanton denies knowledge of them, but suggests that perhaps the Department of Defense secretly funded the unit and attached it to the NSA. Saying he will look into it, Stanton leaves the office. Palmer informs Novick and Sherry about what he has learned. Doubting Stanton’s honesty, the President wants him arrested. The chain of events that occurred after Stanton’s arrival -- the crash of the ambassador’s helicopter, the evacuation of military out of Los Angeles, Ron Wieland’s release from custody -- all point to his guilt. Sherry is quick to have reservations about Palmer’s decision, but Novick argues that Stanton might possibly be impeding the search for the nuclear bomb. Palmer agrees with Sherry that they need proof before they make any move against him. He demands that Novick find a connection between Stanton and Colonel Samuels.
5:21 P.M.

He sees the shadow of a gunmen on the roof, and instinctively fires holes into the walls around him. Mohsen grabs Kate and yells to the agents that he has taken her hostage. When the agents do not respond, Mohsen assumes that they want him alive. An agent goes in with a shield, and as Mohsen fires, Jack enters behind the shield and shoots Mohsen. Jack takes Mohsen’s weapon and retrieves Kate. Suddenly, Mohsen begins to foam at the mouth. He lapses into convulsions and dies.

Jack instructs Tony to connect the dots, because for some reason, this family is involved with the nuclear threat. Jack then radios another agent to bring Kate back into the torture room.
5:46 P.M.
Novick uncovers the OPCOM channel, but he needs a password to get in. Sherry finds the still-active code of a retired personnel officer, and Novick takes it to the O.C. Sherry then tells Palmer that she is collecting the dates that Colonel Samuels logged onto OPCOM so that they can link it to Stanton. Palmer praises Sherry for what she has done.

Although Tony is also interested in her, he has been hesitant because of what happened between him and Nina last year. They agree to go out if their case is closed successfully.
5:54 P.M.
In the torture room, Kate recounts for Jack what had happened there. She says that Ali and Mohsen spoke in hushed tones.
