As Jack, Yusuf and Wallace fire back at the
gunmen in the buildings above, Jack pulls Kate
from the trunk of Wallace's car. He takes her into
the warehouse with Wallace, while Yusuf darts
off into an alley. Wallace tells Jack that the
shooters must be the follow up team sent by his
employers when their first attempt to kill him had
failed. Stocking up on ammunition, Yusuf radios
Jack from the car. He will try to get to a better
vantage point to see how many men are still out
there. Wallace won't let Jack call CTU to warn
them about the Cyprus recording, but when more
snipers appear, Wallace gives in to Jack's
demand for help. Jack phones Michelle's cell
phone. She warns him not to phone any agency
numbers because she is being monitored. He
needs her to track infra-red satellite at the
warehouse to find out how many men are
surrounding them. Michelle gets to work.

Outside the convenience store, Kim is forced to
explain to Deputy Raynes that the gun Garcia
used to accidentally shoot Davies was hers. She
admits to being a murder suspect who escaped
from police custody.

At District Headquarters in Los Angeles, Palmer
and his staff watch news reports about violence
erupting across America after the nuclear bomb
detonated. Although he is not allowed to use the
Army on U.S. soil, Palmer gives the order to
bring troops in to help. Lynne informs the
President that their bombers will reach the Middle
East in less than five hours.

As Michelle researches Jack's request, Carrie
questions what she is doing on the satellite.
Michelle switches screens on the monitor and
sends Carrie away. Carrie runs up to Tony to tell
him that Michelle is not only accessing a mod-sat
screen, but that she received an open call that
did not lock onto their log. He has Carrie find out
what Michelle was looking at.

As they wait inside the warehouse for help from
Michelle, Jack assures Kate that they will get out
of there. He explains that Wallace wanted her for
her access to a cargo plane, but that he would
not have let Wallace take her.

From a monitor, Carrie watches Michelle as she
collects satellite telemetry and images.

As Deputy Raynes drives her from the crime
scene, Kim asks about Miguel and Officer Brown
who were hurt in the patrol car accident. Raynes
doesn't know anything about either of them, but
tells her that she can make a phone call when
they arrive at the stationhouse. Kim says that she
has no one to call because her father was the
one who flew the plane with the nuclear bomb.

Carrie analyzes the data that Michelle has been
tracking and informs Tony. He assumes that Jack
can be found at the coordinates on the satellite.
However, Michelle has been covering herself by
tracking over a hundred different quadrants.
There's no way to distinguish which one she's
really studying. Tony tells Carrie that he will
handle this his own way.

Michelle goes into the restroom and phones Jack
from her PDA phone. She quickly synchs him the
map of the warehouse with the location of the
shooters. As she leaves, Tony is waiting for her
outside the restroom. He cautions her that they
have been monitoring communication and asks
point blank where Jack is. Michelle says that she
doesn't know, but that Tony should notify the
President to not act on the Cyprus recording until
Jack has finished his investigation. Tony warns
her to tell him what information she knows.
Michelle again denies helping Jack.

Jack and Wallace analyze the map Michelle
beamed over and figure out an escape route
from the warehouse. Jack arms Kate with a gun.
He then radios Yusuf with the locations of the
gunmen and his plans.

Lynne asks the President how long he plans to
wait for Jack to find the evidence. The Secretary
of Defense feels that he is losing flexibility to
begin attack and wants to launch pre-strikes.
Palmer orders that there be no pre-emptive
strikes, giving Jack all the time he needs to
disprove the tape. Novick then alerts the
President that civil unrest is becoming alarming.
Militia groups in Marietta outside Atlanta, Georgia
are joining forces in racially motivated attacks
against Middle-Eastern people. Unfortunately,
there is not enough police or military to cover
every hot spot around the country. Palmer
instructs his team to send all of the Eastern
Georgia National Guard to Marietta and to inform
the media about it. Palmer plans to let the public
see the government's response in protecting its
citizens against racism.

With the go-ahead from Jack, Yusuf throws
smoke grenades into the alley near the
warehouse and he begins firing toward the roof.
Jack and Wallace come out and fire in the same
direction. They now know where the shooters are
located. Yusuf goes for the car. Kate gets
separated from them. She spots one of the
snipers coming towards her, but the man doesn't
see her. She aims her gun but is unable to shoot.
The man turns around to face Kate and she kills
him. Jack grabs her and makes a run for the car.
Wallace follows, and as he climbs in the car, he
is hit in the neck by a gunshot. Yusuf peels out
and they escape. Jack checks Wallace's wound
and finds that the bullet is still inside his body.
They need to get to a hospital, but Wallace
insists on going directly to the airport. He asks
Jack to suppress the bleeding. Kate gets the
CTU first aid kit from the glove compartment and
Jack applies gauze to Wallace's wound.

Palmer and his staff watch news reports of riots
taking place in Marietta. The President enacts a
curfew and orders the National Guard to start
making arrests. Novick suggests that the
President make a statement to the public. Palmer
agrees.

Tony, who has received word from the LAPD
about gunfire in Studio City, has Carrie check the
location against what Michelle pulled from the
satellite. He then approaches Michelle and asks
her if it's where Jack was located. She
acknowledges that it is true, and tells Tony that
Jack can only get his proof if CTU stays out of
the situation. Tony says that they don't even
know if Jack is still alive. Michelle picks up her
phone and dials Jack, telling Tony that the
number is not traceable. She hands the phone to
him. Jack tells Tony that he has been ordered by
the President to prove that the Cyprus recording
is a fake. The man who can give him that proof
won't deal with CTU. Jack knows that the man is
not using him to escape because commandos
tried to kill him for making the deal. Tony insists
on Jack bringing the man into CTU. Jack refuses
and hangs up.

Deputy Raynes takes Kim into the Sheriff's
station and hands her off to Sergeant Amis. Amis
asks Kim about Megan Matheson's kidnapping.
Kim admits that she did this because Megan was
being abused. Amis informs her that Gary
Matheson confessed to killing his wife Carla.
Although she and Miguel tried to escape from
police custody, Kim had been truthful in telling
Officer Brown about the bomb. She is free to go.
Amis lets Kim call CTU so that they can clear her
through legal channels.

As they drive towards the airport, Kate phones
ahead to prep a cargo transport authorization.
She explains that, since she is an officer of her
father's company, she will also be on the flight.
Wallace begins to seize, and Jack begs him for
the evidence. Wallace loses consciousness. Jack
plugs into the car's GPS to find the nearest
medical center and has Yusuf head there.

Kim calls Tony at CTU and asks for his help in
clearing her charges. She is shocked to find out
that Jack is still alive. Yet when she asks to
speak with him, Tony says that Jack is not
reachable.

Yusuf pulls up to a clinic, and Jack barges in past
the front desk with Wallace in tow. Although the
clinic is not prepared to deal with such a serious
wound, Jack demands that the doctor treat
Wallace.

Kim gets the number for Miguel's hospital room
and calls him. When she tells him that they will
probably be cleared of all charges, Miguel is
surprisingly not excited by the news. She inquires
about his health, and he says he is fine. Yet
Miguel doesn't want to see her anymore, and Kim
is confused by this. He hangs up without telling
her that his right leg has been amputated.

Michelle goes to Tony expecting to be fired. He is
angry with her for not doing her job. They still
don't even have Jack or the evidence to prove
the recording was forged. Michelle apologizes for
her actions, and Tony dismisses her from his
office.
