Episode guide
Previously on 24
- President Allison Taylor, Ule Matobo, and Ethan Kanin listen to Colonel Ike Dubaku's demands to withdraw U.S. forces from Sangala. Matobo urges President Taylor to not abandon his country.
- Henry Taylor receives a tip by Samantha Roth that may prove that his son was murdered. Samantha tells Henry that Roger was tasked with auditing the brokers in his firm. Roger discovered a discrepancy in an account that belonged to an unnamed member of his wife's administration. Samantha gives Roger a cell phone that carries incriminating information about everything Roger knew.
- FBI Agent Renee Walker and Larry Moss realize that Jack Bauer played them with the idea that someone on the inside of the FBI was working against them, and that Jack was the mole all along. Walker promises Moss that she will find Jack and Tony Almeida, at whatever cost. At the hospital, Walker tries to get information out of Alan Tanner, who had worked with Tony. Tanner speaks, however, only after Walker tortures the information out of him; and tells her that Tony has plans to kidnap Ule Matobo. Walker passes this on to Moss.
- Bill Buchanan tells Jack Bauer that David Emerson is working for Ike Dubaku. Tony then lets Jack know that Dubaku needs to be captured before he leaves the United States. Tony tells Emerson that he was able to escape the FBI, and that Jack helped in the break. Emerson let Jack work with him.
- David Emerson says that Matobo is their next target, and that their instructions are to deliver Matobo to Dubaku. Emerson raids Matobo's residence, while Matobo and his wife escape to a safe room. Jack realizes that the safe room will be hard to penetrate; and Tony emphasizes the importance of capturing Matobo in order to reach Dubaku.

Background information and notes
- Series regulars Mary Lynn Rajskub and James Morrison do not appear in this episode.
- This episode features the eighth silent clock of the series, just four episodes after its last appearance in 24: Redemption. It is also the earliest in the season that a silent clock has been used. Counting Day 6 5:00am-6:00am, that's 3 times in the past 7 episodes.
- The end of this episode is similar to the end of Day 1 6:00am-7:00am, when Jack is forced to kill Nina Myers and apparently is confident that she will survive, much like he was with Renee.
- This is Tony Almeida's 100th episode.
- Although ammonium dysterate is a fictional chemical compound, its origin and use are based in some reality. Ammonium is an ion, and some chemicals that include the ion are highly toxic. The surname "dysterate" is the same as in the chemical compound glycol dysterate, a known skin irritant. Also, the mixing of choice common household chemicals can produce deadly gases (such as chlorine) at high concentrations.
