At the convenience store, Kim tries to stop the
bleeding in Davies' chest. She appeals to Garcia
to give himself up to the police. He is terrified.
Suddenly, Davies stiffens. Kim attempts CPR,
but Davies dies.

As he drives towards a warehouse in Studio City
to deliver Kate, Jack notices that he is being
trailed. He turns the car into an alley, and the
other car follows. Jack pulls his gun on the driver.
It is Yusuf. After he watched Jack take down
Tony, Yusuf knew that Jack is not on board with
what CTU has been doing. Yusuf states once
again that his country is not responsible for the
bomb. He offers to help Jack clear up the facts.

Tony, walking on crutches, asks Michelle if she
helped Jack kidnap a witness. Michelle tells him
that she did not intentionally draw the agent away
from Kate Warner. Michelle claims that Carrie is
trying to sabotage her because they don't get
along.

The police phone the store to urge Garcia to
come out, but he refuses to exit peacefully. They
put his wife on the phone, and Garcia tells her to
leave the city so that she can be safe from the
oncoming war. He then orders the police to take
his wife to Monterey. Once she arrives there, he
will release Kim.

Jack pulls up to the warehouse where he is to
meet the caller and takes out a gun. He instructs
Kate to remain in the car. In case of emergency,
she is to dial him on the car phone. He promises
to protect her. Jack goes up to the entrance
underneath a neon sign and enters the building.
Inside he finds Captain Jonathan Wallace, a
member of the Special Ops team from Fort
Benning. He shows Jack the Coral Snake tattoo
on his forearm as proof of his membership in that
squad. Then Wallace sits down at a table with his
hands visible to Jack. Wallace was the seventh
commando who took out his own platoon so that
they couldn't prevent the bomb from detonating.
Wallace admits responsibility for that, as well as
for planting the Cyprus recording so that the
bomb was blamed on the three countries. His
goal was to start a war by forcing the United
States to attack the Middle East. The people who
hired Wallace control oil in the Caspian Sea, and
a war in that region would quadruple their
holdings' value. However, those same people
tried to kill Wallace an hour ago and he fears for
his life. Because Warner Industries has a
Department of Defense variance, board member
Kate can authorize his departure out of the
country. While he is talking to Jack, Wallace
secretly taps his foot against a plug in its socket
underneath the table.

That plug causes the neon sign outside the
warehouse to flicker. This signals a man with a
gun to approach Kate as she waits in Jack's car.
The man orders her to get out. Suddenly, Yusuf
appears and smacks the man over the head with
his weapon. The man drops unconscious. Inside
the warehouse, Wallace tells Jack that he holds
the source recordings before they were mixed
down to create the faked Cyprus tape. Suddenly,
Jack's cell phone rings and he answers it. "It's for
you," he says calmly, handing it to Wallace.
Yusuf is on the phone, and he tells Wallace that
the man he sent for Kate has been knocked out.
Wallace hangs up, and says to Jack that he won't
turn over the evidence unless Kate comes with
him to personally authorize the charter. He
admits that he will have to kill Kate once he's
reached his destination. Jack says that he won't
let that happen, and doesn't give in to Wallace's
demands. Wallace gathers his weapons to leave.
With no other choice, Jack stops him. He radios
Yusuf to bring Kate in.

Setting up at District Headquarters in Los
Angeles, Novick tells Lynne that he wants to talk
to Jack Bauer himself. Although Lynne disagrees
with Novick going behind the President's back,
she gives him the number of CTU. Novick calls
Tony asking to be connected to Jack. Tony,
however, informs him that Jack illegally took a
witness from the site and can not be located.
Novick asks to be notified when they find him.

Carrie briefs Tony on the hunt for Jack. He has
not made contact with anyone and has not been
spotted on satellite. The Warner house and office
are also being watched. She asks about
Michelle's involvement, and Tony questions
whether she had concocted the stories because
they are not friendly. Carrie says that she saw
Michelle and Jack speaking conspiratorially
before he took Kate Warner. Believing her story,
Tony has Carrie put a filter on all of Michelle's
communications to see if Jack tries to reach her.

The police take Garcia's wife away from the
convenience store. Garcia blames Kim for
pointing the gun at him and starting the whole
ordeal. She tells Garcia that she was only afraid
because her father died in the explosion that
rocked the city. The police call Garcia and beg
him to let Kim go because his wife has been
delivered to safety. He says that he will kill Kim if
they raid the store. As he talks to the policeman,
Kim runs out and manages to lock herself in a
back room. The police help her escape outside,
and Garcia panics.

Yusuf ties up the man who tried to kidnap Kate.
The man says that there were no other
accomplices, and Yusuf knocks him out cold.
With Kate in tow, Yusuf sweeps the outside
perimeter to make sure there are no other men.
He notifies Jack of this, as Jack waits inside with
Wallace. Wallace tells Jack that he was at Fort
Benning when Colonel Samuels unsuccessfully
tried to recruit Jack for Coral Snake. Samuels
had called Jack "a born killer."

Working at her station, Michelle gets an error
alert from the backup server on her computer.
She calls Carrie to ask if she received the same
alert, but Carrie says the problem must be on her
end. Michelle goes off to find a solution. Carrie
then walks over to Michelle's station. She
redirects Michelle's links to outside
communications so that she can track them on
her computer.

Novick tells Palmer about Jack's improper
activities. In an attempt to focus the President on
the war at hand, Novick suggests that Jack may
have suffered an emotional collapse from the
day's events. Palmer, however, trusts that Jack is
doing what is necessary to prove that the Cyprus
recordings are not authentic. He orders Novick to
find Jack.

Wallace tells Jack that, once he and Kate have
escaped, he will notify him where the evidence is.
Yusuf brings Kate into the warehouse. Jack
reluctantly tells her that she has to go with
Wallace. Kate thinks that Jack is giving her up.

Carrie listens in when Michelle receives a phone
call from a man named Danny. Danny asks
Michelle if he and the children are safe from the
nuclear bomb, but she can't give him any more
information. Michelle tries to calm Danny down,
but he threatens to call Carrie to find out what's
going on since she won't tell him anything.
Michelle thought that he stopped speaking to
Carrie. Danny concurs because he thinks Carrie
is a bitch. He abruptly hangs up. Carrie deletes
this call from her database file.

The SWAT team surrounds the convenience
store, and the police tell Garcia to give up his
weapon. He doesn't come out, and the cops raid
the building. Kim watches in horror as gunfire
ensues. A medical team is called in.

Since Palmer is in a briefing with CTU Director
Chappelle, Novick and Lynne meet with Vice
President Prescott via videophone. Prescott
informs them that the British ambassador is
frustrated because the United States is planning
an attack against the Middle East without
coordinating with his country. Prescott asks
Novick what is going on with the plans for war,
questioning the President's softness on the issue.
Novick believes that Palmer is capable of making
the right decision and is committed to the military
action. Yet the President only wants to cover
every base. The Vice President hangs up, and
Novick tells Lynne that, with the planes in the air
ready to begin the attack, it will be a disaster to
turn them around based on one CTU agent's
claim of evidence. Lynne wonders what they are
going to do next.

Wallace orders Kate to get in the trunk of his car.
She won't go, but Jack urges her to do it for her
own safety. She looks at Jack and obeys. Yusuf
whispers to Jack that he put the tracker on the
car. Suddenly, the car windshield shatters.
Gunfire comes from above the warehouse.
Wallace, Jack and Yusuf return fire.
