Richard Walsh covertly transmits intel to Raj and his terrorist associates. What Walsh is doing could be considered treason, but these people have threatened to murder his daughter, he'll take his chances in court later.
.
Jack Bauer watches as Vic Mackey is brought into CTU. Jack hadn't asked for Vic to be brought in handcuffs, but he is enjoying it nevertheless. Jack goes to the interrogation room where Vic is brought, he does not remove his handcuffs just yet.
.
Vic: Are these handcuffs really necessary?
Jack: That depends on how willing you are to cooperate.
Vic: I have cooperated fully with my FBI agreement, no matter how much they made my job hell.
Jack: Because you knew they were looking for any excuse to revoke the agreement and throw you in prison where you belong.
Vic: But I didn't give them that excuse. What do you want?
Jack: We believe that Second Wave is planning an attack against America today.
Vic: I've heard of them, a splinter group that broke off from Alqueda a couple of years ago. I offered my services to CTU to help stop them, and they spat in my face.
Jack: Yeah, can't imagine why they wouldn't trust a cop killer.
Vic: You're one to judge Jack.
Jack: I never took bribes, none of what I did was for personal gain.
Vic: You were saying something about a terrorist attack.
Jack: We believe that the terrorists have allied with certain street gangs in the D.C. area. Noone knows these gangs like you.
Vic: So you need my help in stopping the attack.
Jack: Unfortunately yes, we need your help.
Vic: First my terms.
Jack: You mentioned the FBI is looking for an excuse to throw you in prison. You either help us, or they have their excuse.
Vic: I think that you and president Bartlett are desperate enough to give in. I want a full pardon, and the restoration on my pension from the LAPD. I want my old partner Ronnie to also recieve a pardon. And I want to know where my ex-wife and children are. I haven't seen them in almost three years.
Jack: You're just going to have to live with that. Either as a free man, or in prison.
Vic: I can live with that, but can you live with thousands of dead americans, knowing you could have stopped it?
Jack: You really are a son of a bitch. You'd let thousands of civilians die when you could have stopped it?
Vic: Can you?

President Bartlett is conferring with John Marbury when they are both made aware that Conner Oshea, the terrorist who murdered the first responders earlier, was once in the IRA.
.
Marbury; This is certainly an interesting development. You are aware of the problems we've had with the IRA since the Brexit vote.
Bartlett: This man was once IRA, but he became a mercenary after the Good Friday Peace Agreement.
Marbury: Perhaps they asked him to come back. A man biting down on a cyanide capsule suggests a true believer, and traditionally the IRA has had a good working relationship with terrorist groups in the middle east.
Bartlett: We still don't know for certain who else is involved. Also, if the IRA is involved, your government bears some moral responsibility. Under the terms of the Good Friday agreement, if the people of Northern Ireland no longer want to be citizens of the United Kingdom, you are bound to hold a public referendum, which you refuse to do.
Marbury: We cannot negotiate with terrorists, or give in to their demands. And the majority of people in Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland do not want reunification.
Bartlett: They also don't want a return to a hard border.
Marbury: Mr president, we appreciate any help you can give in helping to negotiate a peaceful resolution, and prime minister Grady can take your criticism. But perhaps we should set aside peaceful negitiations and concentrate on preventing further terrorist attacks against both of our countries.
