Jack Bauer tries his best to fight off the commandos above him. He lets Yusuf Auda know that they are on both sides of the alley they are in. Jonathan Wallace also knows they are on the roof and fire escape. They all keep firing. Some of the commandos are hit, but many are still active. Jack catches the keys to the car and gets Kate Warner out of the trunk. Jack, Wallace, and she are able to get inside of the building. Yusuf stays outside to keep position. Jack and Kate go back to Wallace's original position inside of the factory. Wallace follows. He explains that the commandos are people from his employers that are trying to kill him. Wallace does not know how they found him. Yusuf gets more weapons from the trunk of the CTU car. He radios Jack to let him know. He goes to find a better vantage point. Wallace suggests that Yusuf cover them as they get to the car. Jack says that he doesn't know how many are out there, and goes to call Michelle at CTU. Wallace says no, or he doesn't get the proof. Kate asks about the commandos, and says that must prove something. Jack says that it proves nothing to those in D.C. Yusuf then radios Jack again. He says that another car arrived. Jack tells Wallace that another car arrived, and that they aren't going to survive if he doesn't call his inside person. He tells Wallace that he will not jeopardize his identity. Wallace asks if it is offline. Jack says yes. Wallace finally agrees. Jack calls Michelle.

Michelle answers, and tells him not to call on any agency numbers, as she is being monitored. Jack says that she was right, and Syed Ali's recording is fake. The President is about to invade the middle East on erroneous information. Michelle asks for proof. Jack says that he can get it. Michelle says that it will be difficult. Jack asks for infra-red satellite. He tells her that they are surrounded, and of Yusuf's position. He then ends the call. He lets Yusuf know that they will be a few minutes. Jack, Kate, and Wallace go to secure their positions.

At the convenience store, Kim Bauer asks Deputy Raynes if Ramon Garcia will be alright. The deputy says that he will live, and that he's going to report that Kim says that the shooting was accidental. Raines says he's going to explain the gun. Kim admits it was hers. Raynes asks what she was doing with a gun. Kim said that someone gave it to her. She introduces herself and admits she is a runaway and a suspect in a murder.

District Headquaters, Los Angeles. President Palmer is watching a news report on violence across the country as a response to the nuclear bomb. The report goes off, and he asks for status on the National Guard. Mike Novick tells him they are ready for the big cities, but the military has to intervene for the little cities. Palmer tells him to call General Bowden in order to put some troops on standby. Novick says that they can't do that because of Posse Comitatus. They can only use the navy and the marines. Palmer notices they can't help, and says to call Bowden anyway. He then asks Lynne Kresge for status on the bombers. Lynne says that they are still on target, and should be entering the Middle East in 4 or 5 hours.

At CTU, Michelle gets the satellite. Carrie Turner appears behind her, inquiring about what she is doing. Michelle brushes it off, and asks if she's prepped files for the next shift. Carrie says yes, then goes to Tony Almeida. Michelle watches her, but then goes back to the satellite. Carrie lets Tony know that she was accessing a satellite. Tony dismisses this. She then tells him that she received an untraceable call. Tony says that it might have been Division. He tells her to find out what she was looking at.

01:08:43

Tony, on crutches, watches Michelle as she leaves her station to go to another one. Wallace looks outside to try and see anyone. He cannot, however. Jack radios Yusuf, and he says that the commandos are repositioning. Jack lets him know that they are still waiting. He walks over to look outside, and lets Kate know that Wallace wants to use her to get out of the country. Kate asks how. Jack tells her that her father has C.I.A. connections that can get a plane out. Kate realizes she has to be on the plane with him. Jack says that he's not going to let her get on. Jack continues looking outside. Michelle looks at many different frames of satellite, and checks to see if Tony is looking. Carrie, hidden from view, looks at what Michelle is looking at also.

1:15:09
Kim Bauer is being driven away from the Convenience Store. She asks if she can find out how her boyfriend is doing. Raynes does not know. She asks about the other officer. Raynes does not know, and advises her not to say anything. Kim says that it doesn't matter. Raynes tells her she will get her phone call. But, Kim thinks that she has no one to call. She says that her father was flying the plane with the bomb. She doesn't have ayone.

Carrie Turner highlights the satellite imagery that Michelle is looking at and calls Tony. She tells him that she is looking at infra-reds. But, Carrie can't tell which one she's really looking at because there are hundreds of frames. Tony decides to deal with the situation himself. Michelle gets up and leaves her station.

01:16:56

She goes into the bathroom and calls Jack. Jack gets their positions on his PDA. She counted 11 people, including Yusuf. Wallace looks on. Michelle asks how long he needs to stay dark, due to Tony's watching her. Someone else comes into the bathroom, and she ends the call. She walks out, and is confronted by Tony. Tony asks where Jack is. Michelle denies any knowledge, and says she isn't breaking protocol. Tony asks again. Michelle says she doesn't know, but says to call President Palmer and advise him not to move on the recording until Jack finishes his investigation. Tony takes this as a sign that she does know where Jack is. Michelle once again denies that. Tony prevents her from leaving, and tells her that she works for him, not for Jack. Michelle tells him to get past his ego. Tony tells her that he has a job to do, and she better tell him any info about Jack. Michelle once again says that she has no information. Tony lets her go, but adds that she better not be lying.

Jack apprises Wallace of the positions. They go over a plan to get out. Kate tells Jack that she knows how to shoot a gun. Jack tells her to stay behind him. He radios Yusuf again. He lets them know they are going to move now.

01:20:10

Lynne Kresge asks how long President Palmer is going to give Jack to produce evidence. Palmer tells her that Jack has up until the time the bombs are released. Lynne lets him know that the Department of Defense is being tied up because of this. Palmer lets her know that they are going to use every moment they have to be thorough. Lynne tells him that he's not going to like that response. Palmer says that is his problem. Mike Novick comes and lets him know about civil unrest in a city outside of Atlanta, named Marietta. Some militias have joined forces and are getting very violent. Palmer asks if this is racially motivated. Novick says yes, as the demographics of the suburb are Middle Eastern. He puts on the report. One of the members of the mob talks to the reporter. The reporter asks the guy questions and he response with answers that imply that the U.S. should have never allowed the residents to come in. Afterwards, Mike turns off the report. Palmer asks where the National Guard is. Novick says that some are still coming in, and that they don't have enough resources. Palmer asks where the media is heading. Lynne lets him know that Marietta is having the most reaction. Palmer says to send all of the Eastern Georgian National Guard to Marietta, and let the media know. Palmer wants the people to see how they protect their citizens. He states that the U.S. will not put up with racism or xenophobia. This city, Marietta, is where the violence is going to stop.

1:27
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.

1:38
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.

1:51
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. General Bowden briefs the President on the status of the bombers as they head towards the Middle East. Palmer is reassured that the planes can be ordered back at any time. The Joint Chiefs of Staff, however, would rather have a firm decision. Lynne and Novick inform the President that the crowds in Marietta grew out of control, and that the National Guard shot rubber bullets. Two people were killed. One was a young Middle Eastern boy who was trying to flee with his family. Palmer is saddened, and asks Lynne to find out the boy’s name. He then orders Novick to tell the National Guard to not back down. They are to restore order in the Marietta neighborhood. The doctor examines Wallace’s x-rays, telling Jack that he is not authorized to perform surgery to remove the bullet. Jack assures him that the clinic will not be shut down because saving Wallace’s life has something to do with the nuclear bomb that went off. He also asks that Wallace not be sedated because he needs him to talk. Kate gets a departure time for their flight, and Jack guarantees that he will get on the plane with her if that’s what it takes to protect her. Suddenly, Wallace calls off the doctor’s treatment. He tells Jack that he’s not going to make it. Wallace whispers to him that the original source files to make the Cyprus recording is on a memory chip. When Jack asks where that chip is, Wallace says, “It’s inside…” Before he can finish his sentence, Wallace stops breathing. The doctor attempts to restart his heart through defibrillation, but Wallace dies. Jack doesn’t know what to do, and rests his head in his hands. When he lifts his head up, he is facing the light box holding Wallace’s x-ray. Jack notices a shadow on the x-ray at the bottom of the rib cage. He goes over to Wallace’s dead body. There is a stitched scar in the same spot. Much to the horror of the doctor, Jack grabs a scalpel and slices the skin where the scar is located. He reaches his hands into the body cavity and pulls something out. “I got it,” he says as he holds up the blood-covered microchip.
