Jack phones CTU and Tony brings him up to
speed on Prescott pushing Palmer out of office.
Jack asks him for a helicopter to pick up Hewitt.
Although Chappelle is breathing down his neck,
Tony agrees to send a chopper. Sherry,
meanwhile, promises Hewitt that she will get him
full immunity for his crimes and assures him that
she will protect him from Jack. Sherry notifies
Jack that Hewitt will testify by demonstrating the
audio technology.
Tony tells Chappelle that Jack has captured the
guy who created the Cyprus recording and that
he needs a helicopter to bring him in. Chappelle
refuses, and Tony attempts to argue Jack's case.
Chappelle informs Tony that he is being
reassigned because he has become a liability to
their mission with the start of the war. Chappelle
orders Tony to be out of the office in fifteen
minutes.
Hewitt gets his computer full of audio software
ready to go. He plans to do a another sample of
the Cyprus recording to prove that the previous
one was a fraud. Jack guarantees Hewitt that he
will be fine, and Hewitt becomes suspicious. He
questions whether Jack and Sherry made a deal
together to set him up. Hewitt asks to speak to
Jack privately and Sherry becomes defensive.
Hewitt is curious about Sherry's intentions, but
Jack reassures him that she only wants to help
him.
Accompanied by a police officer, Kim enters the
Matheson house to get her things.
As Tony begins to pack up his office, he gets a
call from a satellite phone secure line. Palmer
requests that he be connected to Jack, and Tony
patches him through. Jack tells Palmer that he
found the man who engineered the Cyprus
recording and that Sherry is there with him. Jack
does not explain further, and Palmer cautions
him not to trust her. He asks to speak to his ex-
wife. Sherry tells Palmer that she is merely trying
to help him, and that she and Jack are his only
hope in preventing this war. Palmer warns her to
stay out of Jack's way.
After Palmer hangs up, Jack demands that Tony
quickly get him the helicopter. Tony turns to
Michelle and asks for her help.
Gary Matheson is in his house when he sees a
police officer outside. Gary does not realize that
Kim is also in the house.
Novick comes into the holding room and takes
the satellite phone away from Palmer. He has
Agent Pierce placed under arrest.
Kim packs clothes in her room. She does not
know that anyone else is there. Gary creeps up
the stairs to his bedroom with a holster he
apprehended from the police officer. He packs
money, a passport and a stash of drugs. Kim
hears noise from the house and calls out for the
officer. She walks up to the master bedroom but
finds it empty. She goes back to her packing.
Gary hides in a corner, realizing that Kim is in the
house.
Michelle and Tony make a plan. She calls
Chappelle to tell him that someone is waiting for
him in a holding room. Chappelle goes into the
room, but only Michelle is there. Suddenly, Tony
comes from behind Chappelle and puts a
chloroform rag over his face. Chappelle falls
unconscious, and Tony sends Michelle off to
dispatch the helicopter. Tony takes out a syringe
to drug Chappelle.
As they wait for the chopper, Sherry tells Jack
that she is trying to clear her name in order to
protect Palmer's public image. Jack informs her
that Palmer has been stripped from the
Presidency and that Prescott is now in power.
Sherry is shocked. Tony phones Jack's cell with
news that the chopper is on its way. Jack asks
for the Attorney General to be brought in
because Sherry wants to cut a deal when
Hewitt's testimony incriminates her. Sherry hears
this and confronts Jack because they had
discussed another scenario. When she tries to go
to Hewitt, Jack forcibly grabs her and orders her
to stay away from him.
Kim exits her room and sees through the window
that the police officer is lying face down in the
outside bushes. She grabs her bags and spots
Gary downstairs. Kim panics and darts into
another room. Gary comes up the stairs and
points the gun at the closed door. He opens it,
but Kim is not inside. Gary sees the door for the
attic and climbs up the stairs. When he gets to
the attic, Kim smacks him in the head with a can
and Gary drops down unconscious. Suddenly,
the attic floor gives way and Kim falls through to
the bedroom. She grabs Gary's gun and cell
phone.
Kim calls CTU and begs Michelle to put her
through to Jack. A frightened Kim tells her father
that Gary Matheson killed the police officer that
brought her there. Jack instructs her to get out of
the house, but when Gary starts to stir to
consciousness Kim becomes terrified. Jack tells
her to shoot Gary. She fires one shot into him,
and Jack tells her to shoot him again. She does,
and Gary is killed. Then Jack has Kim go
downstairs because he is going to send someone
to get her. Kim obeys and hangs up the phone.
Jack calls Kate, asking her to phone the police
and pick up his daughter. Meanwhile, in the loft,
Hewitt tries to leave. Sherry stops him. Jack
orders them to separate, but phoning CTU
preoccupies him. Hewitt goes to escape again
and Sherry steps in his path. Hewitt stabs her
with a screwdriver and makes a run for a hidden
door. Sherry lies on the ground, bleeding, but
Jack goes after Hewitt instead. He follows him
into a darkened tunnel.
With Chappelle still unconscious, Tony keeps
Carrie preoccupied with other work. Brad
Hammond from Division calls looking for
Chappelle, and Tony tells him that Chappelle
"stepped out."
Jack chases Hewitt through the loft's secret
tunnel, telling him that he can cut a deal once
he's brought into CTU. Jack promises him that he
will be kept alive if Hewitt helps prevent the war.
Hewitt breaks open a glass window and runs out
onto the roof of his building.
From his office, Kingsley speaks to someone
named Max and assures him that the war will
increase their oil holdings dramatically. A woman
named Eve informs Kingsley that Hewitt was not
found when his people went to the loft to pick up
all the recordings and data. Kingsley is worried
that Hewitt could blow their whole operation.
Hewitt climbs to a raised level of the roof and
pulls up the ladder so that Jack can not reach
him. Jack, clutching his aching chest, manages
to shimmy up the drainpipe and chase Hewitt to a
ledge. When Hewitt pulls out a gun, Jack draws
his in return. Jack pleads with him to drop the
weapon, but Hewitt raises it instead. Jack fires,
wounding Hewitt in the leg. Hewitt is startled and
falls over the ledge onto another landing. Jack
checks the leg wound and assures him that he
will be fine once the helicopter arrives. Jack then
realizes that blood is pouring out from Hewitt's
head.
Jack phones Tony, who warns him that he may
be unreachable because he had to remove
Chappelle from becoming an obstacle. He tells
Jack to contact Michelle in the field on a remote
access.
