Teri receives a call from Alan York, the father of Kimberly's friend Janet. He too is looking for his daughter.

The magnetic strip on the card is commonly used for access into the building, but this particular one also contains a file with references to Palmer, which allows the user to smuggle confidential information in and out of restricted areas. As Walsh pleads for Baylor's continued assistance, shots ring out, hitting both men. Baylor goes down. Walsh is wounded but is able to shoot back at his assailant.

Carl linked the allegations to Keith's therapist, George Ferragamo, who claims that Keith made a confession in therapy sessions. Knowing Kingsley is a responsible journalist, Palmer privately begins to question his son's innocence.

With hours to go before the California Primary, no one in Palmer's hotel suite campaign headquarters is able to sleep.

4:09 A.M.

He tells her that a man being held might have seen Kim, and he urges Teri to talk to Janet as soon as she's out of surgery. Then Mason tells Jack that Penticoff is asking for him. As Mason and the other agents watch from the observation room, Jack mumbles something to Penticoff that can't be heard by Mason. Penticoff flies off the handle, and tells Jack to go to hell. Jack grabs Penticoff by the hair and sticks his hand into the suspect's mouth. The agents pull Jack off, and Penticoff demands his right to a phone call.

4:23 A.M.

Jack leaves the interrogation room and darts into an empty corridor. Penticoff is led to a phone bay, where he removes a tiny slip of paper from his mouth. He dials the number written on it, getting Jack's cell phone. Penticoff says that some "guys" who have Kimberly will be calling at a phone on San Fernando Road.

As other officers subdue Jack, Penticoff is left holding Phillips' cell access card. When the coast is clear, Penticoff lets himself out.

4:36 A.M.

Maureen Kingsley meets with Palmer in the hotel. Since they have a friendly history, he asks why she is doing this to him. Not only does she have testimony from the therapist, George Ferragamo, but she produces a document from an emergency room list with a signature of Edward Johnson. The scratches on Lyle Gibson's body had been blamed on Nicole fighting back against her rapist. However, an African American teenage boy checked into a hospital near the murder site with the same marks. The signature for Edward Johnson matches Keith's handwriting. Palmer is appalled, telling Maureen to do whatever she has to do. "Just be prepared to accept the consequences," he threatens.

4:41 A.M.

Palmer wakes his son, Keith, and asks him about the night after Nicole's rape. Keith refuses to answer, but says that someone had to deal with it since Palmer was out of town. Palmer is enraged, but senses he's pushed Keith as far as he can. He leaves his son's room.

Penticoff takes the call from Gaines, who directs him to dispose of a body in a trunk of a car. There are car keys inside the phone booth. Jack is worried that it may be Kimberly in the trunk.

4:54 A.M.

Jack and Penticoff find the car, but the body inside is an unidentified man. Suddenly, Mason and a group of agents surround them. Jack points out that the body is somehow connected to the hit on Palmer. Jack admits that there may be someone inside CTU involved in that assassination attempt, and he appeals to Mason for help.

Carl notes that Sherry was the one who sent Keith to him in the first place.

5:14 A.M.

Kim helps Rick dig the grave. He bares his guilt to her, admitting that they were only supposed to hang out with her and Janet. No one was to get hurt.

5:16 A.M.

Jack arrives at the hospital, warning the security there to protect Janet. He greets Teri, and begins to question Alan York. Knowing that York has been a comfort, Teri is bothered by Jack's interrogation.

5:19 A.M.

Palmer confronts his wife about her sending Keith to Carl. The entire family had been keeping the secret from him to protect the election. Palmer admonishes Sherry of being too ambitious. She wants to do anything to keep the story from coming out because Keith may be sent to jail.

5:27 A.M.

As they dig, Kimberly and Rick talk about their mothers. Feeling she has made a bond with him, Kim urges Rick to help her escape. Gaines takes Kim to the house.

5:29 A.M.

Teri apologizes to York for her husband's behavior. Jack pulls her away, and reveals that there is a threat on Palmer's life.

5:37 A.M.

Nina pulls Jamey off decoding the key card to help forensics on the unidentified body. Jamey is clearly disappointed that Nina brought in Milo, an outside contractor, to work on the key card.

With a threat against his campaign and family, Palmer wakes up his chief of staff, Mike Novick.

Meanwhile, York rushes up to the ICU to speak to Janet, who is awake. Jack gets a call from Nina with news that the body has a custom-fabricated surgical pin in its ankle that can be traced to an orthopedic surgeon. Nina is hopeful that she'll soon have a name for the John Doe.

5:40 A.M.

After Palmer explains the situation, Novick gives him a realistic analysis of its impact on the election. He advises Palmer to release the story before the network, and suggests that it be at the breakfast planned for that morning. Unfortunately for Palmer, he will need his whole family to support him in the announcement.

5:42 A.M.

The doctor explains to York that she is optimistic about Janet's full recovery. York agrees to let Jack question Janet after he has talked to his daughter first. Jack and Teri are in the hospital hallway when his phone rings. He assumes it is Nina, but it is Gaines, watching from the hospital security cameras. Gaines tells Jack to not alarm Teri and walk away. Gaines threatens to kill Kimberly if he does not obey. Jack listens, and exits out the corridor.

5:46 A.M.

York is taken into ICU alone to see his daughter. Janet looks at him and asks who he is. "Where is my father?" she whispers through shallow breaths in her oxygen mask. York answers by pressing his hand down on her mask and suffocating her. Janet dies.

5:51 A.M.

Still talking to Gaines on the phone, Jack is led to a waiting car in the hospital parking garage. He asks whether his daughter is still alive, and Gaines briefly puts Kim on the phone for proof. Then Gaines has Jack place a small object in his ear. With this device working as a transmitter, Gaines orders Jack to throw his cell phone out the window, and he has him drive toward the CTU office. York, meanwhile, tells Teri that the girls were partying with some boys who got too aggressive. Janet gave him an address in Bel Air where Kim may have gone. York lures Teri to his car so that they can track Kim down. Teri tries calling Jack, but her husband doesn't pick up his cell phone.

As she watches Rick bury Dan, Kim assures him that her father will save them.

5:57 A.M.

Milo tells Jamey that he was able to quickly break into the key card, and she is somewhat put off. Nina tells her that, based on the surgical pin, they have identified the body.

In the car, Teri notices a scratch on York's wrist. Although he had received it while killing Janet, he lies about its origin. Nina calls Teri when she can not reach Jack. They are both confused, because they each thought the other was with him. Nina tells Teri to pass a message to Jack: the murder victim's name he was looking for is Alan York. Teri is speechless, knowing that the man next to her is not really York.

6:00 - 7:00 A.M.

6:00 A.M.

Jonathon, the assassin surgically altered to resemble photographer Martin Belkin, gathers his photo equipment at the desert compound and heads for the Palmer breakfast. Gaines leads Jack, via the transmitter in his ear, to find a key card that resembles the one Walsh gave him.

At CTU, Milo, the freelance contractor, gets closer to decoding information on the assassin on the real key card given by Walsh.

At the desert compound, Kimberly pleads with Rick to help her escape. Although Gaines said that he would release Rick, Kim knows Gaines won't make good on that promise.

6:08 A.M.

Jack arrives at CTU, and is immediately questioned by Nina. He assures her, unconvincingly, that his daughter is safe. When she tells him that the body in the car has been identified as Alan York, Jack is stunned. He excuses himself from Nina to threaten Gaines through the earpiece. Gaines, who has heard the whole conversation with Nina, assures Jack that Teri and Kimberly will be killed if he does not follow his orders. Gaines then instructs Jack to replace the key card that Milo is decoding with the decoy card. As Jack figures out how to do that, Gaines leaves a cell phone message for Kevin (who is posing as Alan York).

6:12 A.M.

In the car, Teri feigns sickness and asks "York" to pull over. She runs into some nearby bushes. Kevin sees his cell phone blinking, and he listens to the scratchy message from Gaines that his cover has been blown. He turns off the car and follows Teri. Suddenly, she appears from behind a bush and slams his head with a rock. Teri tries to grab his car keys, but he tosses them over the mountain. She hits him in the head again and knocks him out cold.

6:17 A.M.

Teri ties Kevin to a tree with a belt and with jumper cables. She attempts to call for help, but her cell phone is unable to get a signal.

Rick asks Gaines to pay him for his completed job. Gaines doesn't let him leave the compound.

6:19 A.M.

Jack realizes that Gaines has cameras set up inside CTU and is able to see his every move. As Milo gets closer to naming the shooter, Gaines orders Jack to switch the key cards.

6:21 A.M.

Palmer, meanwhile, talks to his daughter about appearing at the breakfast. Although she is worried for her brother, Nicole is even more fearful about reopening past wounds.

6:24 A.M.

Jack "accidentally" spills a cup at Milo's workstation to set up a distraction so that he can switch the key card in the computer.

6:29 A.M.

Since the key card he is working on is a fake, Milo runs into problems trying to decode it. Jamey comes to the rescue with a solution.

Meanwhile Kevin, tied up and beat up, tells Teri that if he doesn't deliver her, then Kimberly will be killed. Teri is confused at what to do. She again tries in vain to get her cell phone to pick up service.

6:31 A.M.

Gaines has Jack contact Palmer's Secret Service detail to request clearance for the breakfast.

Rick delivers the news to Kimberly that Gaines won't let him go. He makes a plan with her to escape, but their secret conversation is interrupted by Eli, another one of Gaines' thugs. Kim reacts quickly, pulling Rick on top of her in an embrace. She pretends that he is raping her, and Eli leaves them alone. Rick tells Kim to meet him outside later for their escape.

6:36 A.M.

Milo figures out that he has been working with a different key card, and he suspects that Jack may have switched it when he came to his desk. Nina confronts Jack about the key card exchange, and offers to call Division if he does not turn the original one over. Jack pulls a gun on Nina, threatening her life. Gaines, through the earpiece, tells Jack to get her out of the building. Jack puts a jacket on Nina to hide the gun he has at her back. He walks her outside to his car. Tony stops them on the way out, and Jack tells him they are on their way to an official jurisdiction meeting.

6:42 A.M.

Teri finally gets phone service, and she dials Jack's cell phone. A hospital worker picks up the ringing cell phone on the ground in the garage, and Teri quickly realizes that something is wrong. She then calls Nina at CTU, but Jamey picks up. Teri pleads for help, explaining that both she and Kimberly have been kidnapped. Jamey takes down Teri's location and promises to send someone to retrieve her.

6:43 A.M.

Sherry asks Palmer about the possibility of blackmailing network anchor Maureen Kingsley into dropping the Keith murder story. Palmer is reluctant to lie, but Sherry is motivated to save both her son and her husband's candidacy.

Meanwhile, Rick leaves the barn where Kim is being held, leaving the door unlocked. While Rick distracts Eli, Kim escapes. Rick and Kim meet up to make a run for the compound's fence.

Two men show up to help Teri, identifying themselves as CTU agents. Yet when one starts to untie Kevin, the other takes Teri hostage. These men are not from CTU.

6:48 A.M.

Tony asks Jamey about a supposed jurisdiction meeting that Jack and Nina were headed to. She does not know of the meeting, and with no phone call from Nina, Tony grows worried. He asks Jamey to pull the security footage from Jack's office.

6:49 A.M.

Jack has Nina drive the car, giving her directions fed from Gaines through the earpiece. Nina starts to suspect that everything Jack's been telling her about his daughter's kidnapping and the mole inside CTU may be false.

6:54 A.M.

Jack has Nina stop the car at an empty industrial area. Another car has followed them there. Under Gaines' instructions, Jack takes Nina outside and shoots her in the chest. Her body falls down an embankment. The men in the second car confirm for Gaines on video that Nina is dead.

6:57 A.M.

As Kim and Rick dig their way underneath the chain link fence to freedom, Teri is dragged into the compound. Kim sees Teri and insists on staying to help her mother. Kim aborts her escape and returns to her "cell". Rick begrudgingly follows.

6:59 A.M.

Tony scans the CTU security footage, and sees Jack take Nina at gunpoint. He is further surprised when he sees Jack hand Nina a bulletproof flak jacket. Meanwhile, at the industrial site, Nina wakes up. She pulls the bullet shells from the Kevlar jacket and, although she is somewhat shaken, she realizes what has happened. Nina walks off.

7:00 - 8:00 A.M.

7:00 A.M.

Having been shot (and saved by the flak jacket that Jack gave her), Nina wanders off from the industrial area, dazed and bruised.

Palmer tells his wife Sherry and son Keith that he plans to admit the truth in his breakfast speech. Sherry and Keith are not pleased.

The assassin Jonathan arrives for the Palmer breakfast at the San Clarita power plant. With the face and identification of Martin Belkin, he is admitted in by the Secret Service.

Gaines directs Jack to pick up a briefcase. When Jack begins to waver, Gaines briefly puts Teri on the phone. He sends Jack to the San Clarita power station.

7:08 A.M.

Gaines sends Jamey an instant message. At CTU, Jamey grabs her handheld device and goes into a bathroom stall, as Gaines watches all this on his surveillance monitor.

7:11 A.M.

Teri is brought to the shack where Kimberly is being held. Kim explains that she met Rick and Dan through Janet, and she is upset to learn that Janet has died.

7:17 A.M.

Nina finds a phone and dials Jamey. Jamey is not at her desk to answer it. Nina then calls Tony, asking for Jamey. Tony is about to hand the phone to Jamey, but overhears her telling Milo that Nina is at an all-day meeting. When Tony questions her about her information, she says that she just spoke to Nina. Tony senses she is lying, and he tells Nina about what Jamey said. Nina realizes that Jamey cannot be trusted, and explains to Tony about CTU being infiltrated. He sends a car to pick her up.

7:25 A.M.

Jack arrives at the power plant. While clearing Jack for entry into the breakfast, Secret Service Agent Pierce asks Jack to open the briefcase. Inside is a laptop computer. Although Jack is unsure of what the computer really is (a bomb?), it safely powers on. The Secret Service allows him entry into the event. Jessica, Palmer's press assistant, recognizes Jack from high school and greets him warmly. Jack nervously moves away from her, as Gaines orders him to wait for his contact. Jack makes eye contact with Palmer and resists the urge to warn the Senator. Palmer moves on, and gets introduced to who he thinks is photographer Martin Belkin. No one knows that this is the candidate's intended assassin.

7:29 A.M.

As Kim sleeps, Rick brings breakfast to the women. Knowing that he is the one who kidnapped her daughter, Teri hits him. As Rick tries to explain, Eli interrupts. He warns Rick not to make friends with the two women because they won't be around much longer.

At the power plant, Jessica approaches Jack again. He attempts to write a warning on his business card, but Gaines sees this and orders one of his men to break things up. Jack realizes that he is still being watched, and pockets his card. Gaines directs Jack deep into the facility to a closet.

Tony kisses Nina when she arrives at a CTU back door. He takes her into a secure room with no active cameras. She briefs him on Teri and Kimberly's kidnapping, and he is sure that it has something to do with the Palmer case. Since their official mandate is to protect Palmer, they both decide that they must warn the Secret Service.

7:36 A.M.

Jonathan comes to the room where Jack is waiting and opens up the briefcase. Under the laptop computer are gun parts. While Jonathan puts on latex fingerprint patches, he orders Jack to assemble the gun so that his fingerprints will be on it. Jonathan begins to leave with the weapon stored in his camera bag, but Jack pulls his own gun on the hitman. Jonathan warns him that his family is in jeopardy if he is stopped. Jack lets the man leave.

7:41 A.M.

To set a trap, Tony makes sure he is within earshot of Jamey when he tells Milo that Jack did swap the key card. Tony contacts Agent Pierce at the Secret Service to inform him that Jack is a threat to Palmer. Pierce is to take any appropriate action. From the secure room, Nina watches on surveillance monitors as Jamey approaches the bathroom with her handheld device. Tony waits outside the bathroom. Nina, through an ear mike, directs Tony as he grabs Jamey and takes her out of the bathroom. Because the surveillance cameras are on a 20-second rotating loop, Gaines does not see Tony and Jamey.

7:44 A.M.

Agent Pierce pulls Palmer aside and warns him that a CTU agent at the event may be a threat. Pierce wants to remove the candidate from the premises, but Palmer decides to proceed. He is eager to make his speech. Pierce notifies his agents that they are to detain Jack.

Tony brings Jamey to the secure room, and she is surprised to see Nina alive. Although Jamey at first plays dumb, Tony and Nina threaten her with murder and treason charges. Jamey admits that she has been passing messages, but won't reveal who her employer is until she talks to a CTU lawyer. Tony and Nina are worried that they do not have much time to help Jack.

7:52 A.M.

At the desert compound, Teri tries to find an escape from the cabin prison. Aware that they both might be killed, she tells Kimberly that she loves her.

While Jonathan puts Palmer in his crosshairs, one of the Secret Service agents approaches Jack. Knowing he doesn't have much time, Jack reaches for the agent's gun. The agent quickly disables Jack, and notifies the other agents through his headset to cover Palmer. Jack feigns innocence out loud for Gaines' benefit. The Secret Service quickly swarm Palmer and remove him from the podium. Jack begs Gaines for mercy, claiming he was not involved, but when the Secret Service pins Jack to the ground, the transmitter falls from his ear. Gaines orders Eli to kill Teri and Kim, and then notices an instant message from Jamey. Nina and Tony, having seen the melee at the Palmer breakfast on television, instruct Jamey to tell Gaines that the CTU ordered Jack's arrest because they have been tailing him all night long for insubordination. Gaines realizes this is plausible, and hangs up on Jamey. He receives another phone call. Instead of his usual bravado, he talks to this unknown person with deference. Gaines informs the mystery caller that he has a backup plan that will be put into effect the same day. As Eli is about to kill Teri and Kimberly, Gaines orders him to keep the women alive.

7:59 A.M.

At the power plant, Jack is taken into custody by the Secret Service.

8:00 - 9:00 A.M.

8:00 A.M.

At the Palmer power plant breakfast, Jack is apprehended by Secret Service. Other Secret Service teams quickly remove Palmer and Sherry from the power plant. Despite the hysteria, Palmer is not concerned about any threat to his life. Meanwhile, Jack tries to explain to Secret Service Agent Simes that he is working to protect Palmer. He warns them about the assassin, Martin Belkin, but they still do not trust him.

Tony and Nina interrogate Jamey. She gives up Gaines' name and admits to setting up the surveillance cameras inside CTU. Jamey agrees to call Gaines on a land phone line. Gaines, meanwhile, is in a panic because he can not reach Jonathan, the assassin, but he calms when Jamey tells him that she will find out what happened to Jack. Nina has Milo research Gaines' identity, putting him in charge of all Jamey's projects.

8:09 A.M.

Jack admits the truth to Simes about his family's kidnapping and the plot to assassinate Palmer, but Simes doesn't have the authority or the inclination to release him. Simes orders him sent to the District office for questioning. As Jack is being led out of the power plant, he daringly escapes from the Secret Service agents by turning on valves to blow steam into their paths. Although he is still handcuffed, Jack is able to steal one of the agents' guns and make it out of the power plant. Jack stops an oncoming car, gets in, and at gunpoint, forces the terrified driver to pull away.

8:13 A.M.

Jack directs the driver, a waitress named Lauren Proctor, to park at a construction site. They break into an office so that Jack can use the phone.

8:16 A.M.

Jamey divulges that she accepted three hundred thousand dollars to provide Gaines information, claiming that her low pay at CTU was not enough to raise her son as a single parent. Yet she will not give them any more information until she receives immunity in writing. Nina gets a call from Jack. He apologizes for shooting her, explaining that they wanted him to kill her for what she knew. Nina tells him that Jamey has confessed to her participation in the plot. Jamey is put on the phone with Jack, and he promises that he will help her. Jamey still won't budge until she gets her immunity. Jack instructs Nina to bring in Jamey's son, and he asks for a car and gun to be sent to him. Lauren asks Jack who he is, but she doesn't believe him when he tells her about his situation. He admits that he needs the police to think that he may do something crazy. Lauren doesn't want to be involved, and after giving him her keys, goes to leave. Jack pulls a gun on her to make her stay.

8:26 A.M.

Sherry and Palmer return to their hotel suite, but Keith is not there. Sherry tries to persuade her husband to fight against Maureen Kingsley's breaking the story about Keith allegedly killing Nicole Palmer's rapist. Palmer is angry at Sherry for keeping this a secret for the past seven years.

8:29 A.M.

Tony apologizes to Jack for his earlier behavior, and Jack tells him that by turning him in to the Secret Service, he helped save Palmer's life. Jack then has Lauren break his handcuffs with a pair of bolt cutters.

Mike Novick (Palmer's Chief of Staff) informs Palmer that a CTU agent named Jack Bauer apparently assaulted a Secret Service agent and that this Bauer claims the move was mis-interpreted. He goes on to explain that after Bauer was apprehended he escaped. Palmer recognizes Jack's name, but can't place how he knows him.

8:30 A.M.

Back at Gaines' compound, Eli, one of Gaines' henchmen, starts to make advances at Kim. Teri tries to stop him but is knocked to the ground. Kim valiantly defends herself as Eli keeps coming. Teri interrupts by offering herself instead of Kim by saying, "I won't fight you." Eli accepts. Kim is in shock when her mother leaves with Eli.

8:36 A.M.

Sherry persuades Maureen Kingsley to hold off on the Keith story by offering up another story for her -- that a government agent was involved in a conspiracy to kill Palmer.

8:42 A.M.

Teri returns to the shed. Kim is hysterical. Teri, with strength and resolve calms Kim and then shows her a cell phone that she stole when she was Eli. She calls Nina, but has to hang up when one of Gaines' thugs comes into the shed.

8:43 A.M.

Keith returns to the hotel suite. Palmer tells his son that he has asked his lawyers to clear his name, but Keith finds little comfort in that. Novick informs Palmer that Maureen Kingsley is sitting on Keith's story. Although Maureen won't say why, Palmer knows that Sherry had something to do with it. Sherry feigns innocence.

8:45 A.M.

While waiting at the construction site, Jack begins to doze off. Lauren is about to leave when he wakes up and catches her.

8:51 A.M.

Nina and Tony threaten Jamey by telling her that her son, Kyle, will see her in shackles and accused of treason. They tell her that Gaines would have eventually gotten to Kyle to prevent Jamey from testifying. Jamey begins take in the full magnitude of the damage she's done and feels the weight of her situation beginning to crush her.

When Secret Service arrives at the construction site, Jack asks Lauren to get the car that's been sent by CTU. She goes outside and, instead of helping Jack, points the Secret Service in his direction. Jack flees out a back window, narrowly escaping the agents. He runs to the waiting CTU car and drives off.

8:57 A.M.

Milo reports to Nina and Tony about what he's found on Gaines' identity. He begins to suspect something when they tell him that Jamey's son is being brought in. As they head to the secure room, they discuss the option of bringing Milo into the fold. They find Jamey on the ground, bleeding from her left wrist. A broken coffee cup is on the floor. She has tried to take her own life. Suddenly, Jamey's handheld device rings. It is Gaines calling. Nina and Tony look at the ringing device as they try to revive Jamey.

9:00 - 10:00 A.M.

9:00 A.M.

Medics work on Jamey's wrist wounds and move her out of the building. Nina notifies the rest of the office that Jamey tried to commit suicide, but she urges everyone to get back to work. Jack calls Nina from his car for help getting around the roadblocks that the police have set up to trap him. Teri, using the phone she stole from Eli, calls CTU again, and Nina connects her to Jack. Just as Teri is about to speak, Eli and Rick enter the barn to look for Eli's phone. Jack listens as Teri hides the phone from the distrustful Eli. Although Rick notices that the phone is sitting on a rafter, he tells Eli nothing. With the call still connected to CTU, Milo continues his attempts to trace the call.

9:09 A.M.

In a limousine on their way to an appearance at Grant Elementary School, Sherry argues with Palmer. She is still opposed to his releasing the story about the accusations against Keith.

9:12 A.M.

Although Milo has narrowed Teri's location down, it is still too large of an area to pinpoint the exact spot. Tony finds an encrypted email on Jamey's computer and has Milo decode it. Nina and Tony receive news that Jamey has died in the hospital.

9:18 A.M.

After Eli leaves, Teri gives Nina and Jack clues to lead to her location. As he speaks to her, Jack gets pulled over by the police. When the officers approach his car, Jack peels away and the squad car gives chase. Jack pulls into a crowded parking lot and gets out of the car. The policemen follow, but Jack expertly evades them. While hiding underneath a car, Jack draws more information from Teri about where she has been taken. He then asks her to include Kim on the call, and Jack pledges his love to them, vowing to come to their rescue.

9:26 A.M.

Eli returns, and Teri hides the phone again. Jack and Nina listen as Eli attacks Kim. Suddenly, the cell phone beeps when its signal starts to die. Eli finds the phone. When he puts it to his ear, Jack threatens him about hurting Teri and Kim. Eli hangs up. He goes to notify Gaines, but Rick stops him with a warning: Gaines will not be happy to learn that Teri and Kim called for help with the phone Eli lost. Nina dejectedly tells Jack that they were unable to get the trace before the call was abruptly ended.

9:32 A.M.

Still hiding from the police in the parking lot, Jack hotwires a car. He pulls out onto the street and escapes. Tony tells Jack that he found the name Ted Cofell on Jamey's computer. Jack finds out where Coffell works and Jack decides to go there-it's the only lead he had. He warns Tony that Gaines may still make contact with Jamey because he doesn't know that she is dead.

Gaines attempts to send a message to Jamey, but receives no response. Andre Drazen calls from a Lear jet on his way to Los Angeles. He and his brother are upset that the Palmer assassination has not been completed. Gaines assures him that the job will be accomplished by the end of the day. Drazen threatens that he will instruct Cofell to empty the bank account from which Gaines was to be paid. It becomes clear that Gaines has only a monetary interest in seeing Palmer killed. To the Drazens, it's personal.

9:36 A.M.

Sherry calls Carl, Palmer's former political "fix-it" guy, and asks him to prevent Maureen Kingsley from running the story. Although he won't divulge his actions, Carl admits to "taking care" of the evidence against Keith.

9:38 A.M.

Jamey's email shows a $1 million wire transfer to Gaines from a Swiss bank account. Since Cofell is involved in finance, he is probably the one who made the transfer. After Nina briefs him on Cofell's background, Jack calls the man's office and pretends to be an old friend. He learns that Cofell will be leaving at 10:00 a.m.

9:43 A.M.

Tony informs Nina that a temporary replacement for Jack is being sent to run the CTU field office. It is Alberta Green, who used to work under Nina, but it's clear that there's no love lost between Nina and Green.

Kim asks her mother why Jack had moved out. Teri explains that after Jack was away on a mission, he returned home distant and angry. Although separating for a while, they decided to get back together.

9:46 A.M.

Tony learns that Cofell is scheduled to take a private plane to Denver, but he does not know if there is any connection is to Gaines. Alberta Green arrives at CTU, and Nina introduces the staff to the Acting Director. Jack has been indefinitely relieved of his duties, and Green announces that Jack is now a fugitive wanted in the assassination attempt of Palmer. Finding him is their first mission.

9:50 A.M.

While reporters watch, Palmer talks to the kids at the Watts School. Palmer's chief of staff, Mike Novick, receives a call from Frank Ames, Palmer's biggest campaign donor. Ames has learned of the accusations against Keith triggered by the confessions of Keith's therapist, Dr. George Ferragamo. He is wary that two other contributors ordered Carl to get rid of the therapist. Scared of becoming involved in something so scandalous, Ames tells Palmer he is disavowing himself from the campaign. Palmer is furious, and has Novick contact Carl.

9:56 A.M.

Nina lies to Green, saying that she has not spoken to Jack. Green is aware of Nina and Jack's past relationship, and she suspects that Nina is hiding something.

Jack arrives at Cofell's office, but Cofell is already in the elevator. Jack pulls the fire alarm, and Cofell's elevator stops, giving Jack time to dart down the stairwell. In the garage, Jack approaches Cofell's driver. Cofell arrives in the garage and gets inside his limo. He does not notice that Jack is at the wheel.

Alberta Green notifies the CTU staff that Martin Belkin is now a suspect in the Palmer assassination attempt. She asks Nina whether she has heard from Jack, but Nina denies speaking to him.

Jack, meanwhile, drives Ted Cofell in a limousine. Cofell realizes that his regular driver is not behind the wheel, and reaches for his cell phone. Jack locks the doors, pulls over and draws his gun on the man. Cofell feigns innocence, claiming not to know about either Gaines or Jack's family. Jack waits while he has Nina put together an interrogation file on Cofell.

Rick asks Teri and Kim not to say anything to him because Eli has sent him in to get information. Rick quickly leaves the shed, and Eli questions him outside. Not liking Rick's empty answers, Eli beats him up.

10:09 A.M.

Nina is secretly researching Ted Cofell's background when Alberta Green approaches with a question about the passenger list of the plane that went down. An empty seat in First Class was actually filled by Martin Belkin, and Nina has determined that a lookalike assassin was actually at the breakfast. Suddenly, Jack calls Nina again. Nina pretends that the caller is someone from FBI, and Alberta asks to speak to the agent. Nina is about to be caught in a lie, when Tony distracts Alberta to come to his desk. Nina goes back to Jack's call and gives him the small amount of background on Cofell she could find. She describes Cofell as an ambitious control freak, and because he is so tightly wound, Nina advises that he could probably be persuaded with the threat of pain.

10:13 A.M.

Jack gets inside the limo's backseat and questions Cofell again. Cofell admits to being on his way to a meeting with a machine tool businessman before he is to arrive at the airport. Jack has Nina run the name of Kevin Carroll. When he threatens to torture Cofell, the man still pleads innocence.

Andre Drazen arrives at the desert compound, unhappy with how Gaines has mishandled the operation. Drazen threatens to pull the plug, but gives Gaines thirty more minutes to find Jack. If Gaines does not succeed, Drazen will enact a contingency plan to complete the assassination against Palmer and kill Jack. He will then order Gaines to get rid of Teri and Kim. Nearby, Rick overhears the whole conversation.

Palmer is interrupted at his school visit when Mike Novick gets Carl on the phone. Although Palmer demands to speak to him in person, Carl brushes off any insinuations and says that he is not available. When Palmer threatens to spread information about him, Carl agrees to meet.

10:23 A.M.

Nina tells Jack that she found six people with the name Kevin Carroll, and one does work for a machine tool company. She suggests that perhaps Cofell is innocent. Jack, however, is insistent that Cofell is somehow involved. With no other lead to go on, Jack drives Cofell to meet with Carroll.

10:27 A.M.

Teri - Kim abdominal pain

As Jack drives, he doesn't notice Cofell pull out a hidden Micro Tech Halo II knife.

Still posing for reporters at the elementary school, Palmer pulls Sherry aside and asks if she has recently spoken to Carl. She says that Carl claimed to "take care of the evidence" against Keith, but that she doesn't know what that phrase means. Palmer is upset that she did not tell him about this, and alludes to a time when she deceived him seven years ago. Novick informs Palmer that he has checked into Jack's background and found many gaps in his history that are classified. Palmer asks if one of those gaps was in the summer from two years ago. Novick is surprised that Palmer knows that, but before he can ask about it, Palmer says they have other things to deal with first.

10:35 A.M.

Jack pulls the limo into an empty parking garage where Cofell is supposed to meet Kevin Carroll. Jack gets in the backseat to wait, and Cofell lunges at him with the knife. Jack fights him off and punches Cofell. Cofell curses at Jack in a foreign language, and Jack recognizes it as Serbian. Cofell tells Jack that he deserves what is happening to him and that he will pay. Suddenly, Cofell suffers a heart attack. Jack holds the man's medicine to entice him into revealing more information. When Cofell goes violently silent, Jack forces the medicine into his throat. Cofell spits the pill out. As Jack pounds his chest unsuccessfully, Cofell dies.

10:39 A.M.

Nina consoles Jack, but he believes that this hit on Palmer has some personal connection to himself. He has Nina find a link between his old field assignments and Cofell's background, specifically looking at Operation Nightfall where Jack was in Belgrade and Kosovo. Jack props up the deceased Cofell in the back seat.

Since Alberta Green probably suspects that they are already helping Jack, Tony asks Nina whether they should just admit to what's been going on. Nina holds firm to standing by Jack's wishes. She does not want all of CTU involved for fear of unearthing another mole like Jamey. Tony doesn't like it, but he accepts her decision.

Teri is trying to keep the sleepy Kim awake when Rick enters. He gives the women Dan's gun that was left in the van. Teri understands that this time, Gaines intends to kill them.

10:45 A.M.

While Jack waits in the driver's seat, another car enters the parking garage. The man known as Alan York gets into the backseat, not noticing that Cofell is dead. Jack locks the doors and turns to Kevin Carroll, who had been posing as York. Jack doesn't flinch when Carroll draws a gun and shoots repeatedly at the partition. The partition doesn't shatter because it's bulletproof. Jack speeds off, jerking Carroll back and forth in the backseat, and then quickly slams on the brakes. Although Jack is held in by his seatbelt, Carroll slams, head first, into the partition.

10:51 A.M.

Jack traps the unconscious Carroll with tape and asks about Teri and Kimberly. Carroll tells him that they are safe, but if they don't get there soon it may be too late. Since Jack is no longer under their control, there is no point in keeping Teri and Kim alive. If Carroll brings him to his family, Jack will allow him to walk away alive. If not, he will be tortured. Carroll agrees to direct him.

With the half-hour passed, Drazen has Gaines get rid of Teri and Kim. His contingency plan does not involve them. Gaines orders Eli to kill the women.

Carl arrives at the elementary school, and Palmer slips away from the reporters to speak with him. Palmer chides him for harming anyone in the name of his candidacy, but Carl claims that he never had any choice in the matter. The people that want Palmer in office will do anything to get him there. Palmer then leaves an urgent message on George Ferragamo's answering machine.

10:59 A.M.

Eli comes into the shed, and Teri draws the gun on him. She fires, but the gun chamber is empty. Eli grabs Teri and pulls out his own gun. She knocks his gun aside and he flips open a pocketknife on Kim. Teri grabs the gun and shoots Eli. He falls dead. Since anyone listening will assume Eli meant to kill two people, Teri fires a second shot to simulate the second murder. They hide Eli's body.

11:00 - 12:00 P.M.

11:00 A.M.

Jack has a tied up Kevin Carroll (formerly known as Alan York) lead him into the North Valley towards the compound where Teri and Kim are being held.

Alberta Green tells her CTU staff that finding Jack has become the top priority. Nina lets Jack know that pressure is being put upon her to come clean, but he asks her to deny everything. He needs her to download satellite photos of Gaines' compound to his handheld device. Nina tells Tony that she will still keep her communication with Jack hidden from Green, and Tony assures her that he will cover for her.

11:05 A.M.

Teri and Kim hide Eli's corpse under a metal tub, but when his beeper goes off they realize that the other henchmen are looking for him. Teri takes Eli's knife and Kim covers up the blood on the ground.

11:08 A.M.

As Jack waits outside Gaines compound, Nina pulls up satellite images from the surrounding area. She is worried when she sees a multitude of armed guards there. Before she sends the photos to his handheld device, she tries to persuade Jack to confess the truth to Alberta Green so that they can send him backup. Jack adamantly refuses, explaining that CTU involvement could jeopardize his family's safety. He then puts Carroll in the driver's seat to have him to drive onto the compound.

11:09 A.M.

2:43 P.M.

Milo gives Jack the report from Ellis. The missing file has yet to turn up.

DeSalvo gets a call from his superiors giving Jack permission to interrogate the prisoner. Jack goes into the holding room and explains to Victor Drazen that his wife and daughter were not supposed to be in the Kosovo building that blew up. Jack implores that his own family be reprieved, and threatens that Victor's sons could be killed if they attempt to rescue him. Jack demands that Victor call off the mission. He can do so in the same manner that he has been communicating with his sons all along. DeSalvo, who was watching Jack's interrogation on the monitors, agrees to move Victor.
