As they continue to argue, Rebecca Ingram gets a call from Keith Mullins, who tells her that the list was taken by the terrorists and they're not optimistic about catching him. Carter's all right but identified one of the terrorists as Jadalla Bin-Khalid. Mullins then asks about Nilaa. Rebecca claims no progress so far, and Mullins stresses that she's the best hope they have of stopping Jadalla's people and orders her to take Nilaa to CTU. She hangs up and proceeds to carry out her orders, pausing first to threaten Nilaa with the death penalty if she can't help them.

As CTU leaves with her, Rebecca and John stay behind, and John defends the possibility that Nilaa's being set up. Rebecca claims he's only trying to see the good in people, and he nods submissively. She heads out to CTU.

He figures this could be a real lead. Eric expresses his doubts that this could be real. Ben says he's trying to help, but Eric claims he's only done the opposite so far.

Eric Carter asks Keith Mullins to go along with his plan

Back at CTU, Eric Carter is making his case about taking Ben Grimes with him to scope out Gabriel. He says he and Grimes need to go in alone because Gabriel won't fall for anything less than bait—in this case, a weapon Carter says Grimes will sell them. Keith Mullins accuses Eric of buying into a hoax Grimes is feeding him. Eric insists that Ben isn't lying, but Mullins remains skeptical. Eric agrees, but insists that, unless there are other leads, this is his best choice. Mullins tells his plans to Carter, who objects, since they couldn't save his squad. Mullins emphasizes that Carter's not even a CTU agent, and can't just go in without his authority or intel. He closes the matter, and leaves as Eric tries to say more.

Rebecca Ingram tries to reason with Eric, asking if he's just hearing what he wants to hear out of guilt. He reiterates what he said before, that this is their best option. Rebecca hesitates, then says she knows someone who can get him the Onyx schematics; he'll need to handle the rest. Before she leaves, she explains that Grimes was her responsibility, too.

Just as John Donovan enters the room to see his father Henry Donovan, Henry tells his son he's working on the list of Nilaa's replacements. John surprises Henry by saying he's not replacing Nilaa. He explains that he knows Nilaa was framed because the ATM footage was altered. He adds that it doesn't change the fact that the names of the Rangers were leaked and there are only three suspects: him, Rebecca, and Henry. Henry warns him of making false accusations, but John defends himself and asks why. Henry claims innocence and John asks who it was, then. Henry won't answer, so John starts calling CTU with his findings.

10x04 Henry comes clean

Henry Donovan admits to framing Nilaa Mizrani

Henry, no longer able to deny, tries defending his actions, saying he did it for John's campaign. He says he was contacted six weeks ago by a certain "Jadalla Bin-Khalid", who had claimed to possess evidence that Henry had cooperated with ISIL. Henry explains that, a year earlier, a major pipeline of his can been blown up. Facing a shortage, his director had bought oil from terrorists. He was uninformed but still responsible, so he at least tried to protect John from blame by sacrificing the Rangers' names.

John tries emphasizing that many more lives could be lost besides the six because of what happened. He explains the need to fill Rebecca in, and Henry claims he doesn't know anything actually useful, nor does Luis. As John gives up and leaves, Henry begs him to consider what will happen if he betrays his father.

10x04 Luis

Luis claims ignorance to John

On his way out, he confront his uncle Luis, who claims to know nothing. John doesn't clarify and instead refers him to Henry. Luis talks to Henry, who admits that John already knows. Luis says there's no problem as long as John wasn't wearing a wire, and just to deny everything at CTU.

Footage of the attack

The attack, attributed to the militant Islamist organization al-Shabaab, resulted in 67 fatalities and over 175 wounded, and the use of the footage prompted backlash against the show.
