Although Sherry is hesitant, Jack makes her call
Kingsley with a prepared script. Sherry demands
from Kingsley the tapes that he made of their
conversations, and she offers up Hewitt in return.
Kingsley requests that he speak with Hewitt
directly, and Sherry feigns going to another room
where her bodyguards have him held. She holds
the receiver to a computer speaker and Jack
plays back the generator of Hewitt's voice
insisting to Kingsley that he didn't say anything.
Kingsley asks to speak with Hewitt again, but on
Jack's orders, Sherry refuses. Kingsley finally
relents, and gives Sherry a neutral meeting place
on Figueroa Street to meet. Jack hangs up the
phone and he and Sherry head for the location.
Kingsley tells his confidante Eve that Sherry has
Hewitt. Although he suspects that he is being set
up, he has no other choice but to meet her. He
will set up shooters at the place, knowing that
Sherry and whomever else she is working with
won't leave there alive. Kingsley tells Eve that he
will see her in another country the following
week, and when Eve leans in to hug him,
Kingsley grabs a knife off the desk to kill her.
As they drive, Sherry chides Jack for not having
a CTU backup at the Figueroa Street meeting
place. He is forced to take down Kingsley
himself. Sherry notices that Jack has trouble
focusing on the road, and she demands that he
pull over. Jack rebuffs her because there is no
time. Suddenly, Jack winces and the car
swerves. His body contorts in pain and Jack
loses control of the car. Sherry grabs the steering
wheel as they veer off to miss an oncoming van.
Jack's body goes limp and the car careens off the
road into an embankment in the riverbed basin.
Although he is unhurt in the car crash, Jack
becomes trapped when his seat belt locks up.
Sherry gets out of the car without helping him,
telling him that she has to take care of herself
first. He pleads with her because she is the only
one who can stop the war. Sherry at first refuses
because Palmer turned against her. Yet Jack
makes an appeal to her that Palmer will learn
that she was the one responsible for getting him
back his presidency. Sherry gives in, and cuts
Jack out of the seat belt.
Attorney Brian Jacobs shows Novick a file on
Kingsley. The information proves that he made
calls within the past few hours to Coral Snake
member Jonathan Wallace. Novick realizes that
Wallace is the one who killed his own men in an
effort to detonate the nuclear bomb.
Prescott is briefed on the military attack. The
bombers are set to reach their target within the
hour. Prescott readily accepts the fact that there
will be civilian casualties.
Novick calls Chappelle, instructing him to provide
assistance for Jack on finding the evidence about
the Cyprus recording. Chappelle is confused
because he is under the impression that the
country is already at war, but Novick insists that
Chappelle locate Jack as soon as possible.
Kingsley phones Max and tells him that he is still
looking for Alex Hewitt. Max is alarmed because
Hewitt is the only one who could bring down their
operation. Kingsley assures him that he will take
care of Hewitt.
Chappelle goes into the room where Tony and
Michelle are being held. He demands that they
put him in touch with Jack. They agree to help
him if he drops the charges against them.
Chappelle acquiesces.
Jack and Sherry leave the scene of their car
crash. He lugs the audio equipment weakly,
leaning on Sherry for support. Jack tells her that
they are functioning without CTU authority. A
driver approaches them and offers his help. Jack
pulls out his gun and steals the man's car. He
gets into the passenger seat while Sherry takes
the wheel.
Kate and Kim are ushered into CTU and met by
Carrie. To Carrie's surprise, Tony takes over. He
informs Kim that Jack is not reachable. Tony then
tells Kate that her father returned to CTU after he
was released from custody because he wanted
to see Marie.
At a holding cell, Bob Warner speaks to his
daughter Marie through a plexiglass wall. She
looks back at him coldly and does not speak. He
tries to get an answer from her about why she
threatened their family and tried to start a war,
but Marie remains silent. Kate enters, and tells
her father that Marie can not provide any reason
that they would understand. After Bob leaves,
Marie calls for Kate. "You think you'll be safe out
there?" she says. "You won't be."
Tony calls Jack with news that Kim is safely at
CTU. Chappelle gets on the line to tell Jack that
he now operating with full support, but that he is
to wait for backup before proceeding. Kingsley,
however, is expecting the meeting at the Los
Angeles Coliseum to go down immediately and
Jack can not wait for backup. He asks Chappelle
to obtain audio voiceprints of both Kingsley and
Sherry to be used for authentication. Jack also
wants a live audio feed with the President.
Chappelle grants these requests, and sends a
SWAT team to the location.
Jack and Sherry arrive outside the Coliseum. He
wires up Sherry with a transmitter.
