The following takes place between 1:00 a.m. and 2:00 a.m.

01:00:00
Tony Almeida spies on Stokes and his men as they load up a truck of RP-7 fuel. He is contacted by Renee Walker and Jack in the FBI. Jack tells him that the President called off the air strike on Starkwood to destroy the bioweapon for lack of confirmation of it. Tony says that he might know why the President really called it off. He explains to them that he saw Hodges' men loading RP-7 and that she must have been blackmailed by Jonas Hodges since RP-7 is used only to launch missles. Tony tells them that he has 3 charges of C-4 and a remote detonator. Jack instructs Tony to go into the depot and place the charges to destroy the missle tanks so Hodges will not have leverage to use the President.

The President is approached by Tim Woods in Oval Office. He says that the Joint Cheifs are beginning to question her decision of calling off the air strike on Starkwood. She simply tells that she needs more info on the bioweapons. She also tells him that Jonas Hodges is coming to the White House and to make sure as little people as possible know about it. Tim walks out when she recieves a call from Jack Bauer. He says that she called off the air strike for another reason. She tells him that she needs more information about the weapons before she can authorize any action on them. Jack tells her that Tony Almeida spotted Hodges' men loading RP-7 and that it's one use is for fueling missles and that is obviously blackmail. Jack begs her to confess and she tells him what happened with the threat. She also says that since he is exposed to the weapon there is not much she can threaten him with and that she trusts he will do what he thinks is right.

Renee questions what the President meant by saying that. Jack says that she is trying to send them the message that she wants them to go in with Tony's plan but is not exactly authorizing it. Jack goes to continue the operation.

Jonas and Greg Seaton arrive at the White House to meet with President Allison Taylor. Jonas tells Greg that he did a good job at making Almeida look like he was on his side.

Tony manages to over power the guard but Stokes sounds the emergency alarm. Chapman sees the alarm which convinces him to launch the missles. The technician entering the launch stops him and suggests that it might have just been a false alarm. Chapman says that it is protocol but the technician refuses to act so they are sure that they are not killing inoccent people for nothing. Tom pushes him aside and enters in the launch codes himself. Tony sees the shafts opening up. Stokes tells him that he is too late but Tony knocks him out. Tony goes over to the drain and tries to reach the detonator. He eventually gets a hold of it.
