Wayne Palmer speaks with his chief-of-staff Mike Novick about the situation regarding Yvette Gray.
.
Mike: Be honest with me Wayne, did you have an extra-marital affair?
Wayne: No. I don't know what I can say to make you believe me.
Mike: I believe you. Bruce said she does have the A.I.D.S virus, she needs money for medication to save her life.
Wayne: I take it Gardner is paying for her treatment.
Mike: Specifically she's offered to tell this story to a political action comittee who supports Gardner's policies. I honestly don't know if Gardner is behind this.
Wayne: What do you suggest we do?
Mike: Yvette is a desperate woman fighting for her life. I offer her the money she needs and she'll retract her story. Worst case scenario I get implicated, deny you knew anything about it.
Wayne: You can get the money?
Mike: I have some saved up. All honestly obtained I promise.
Wayne: I believe you. But how much of your savings would this deplete?
Mike: Most. But I owe it to you, after what I did to David.
Wayne: He forgave you, so have I. Do it, but be careful.
Mike: Yes sir..

At CTU director Buchanan watches on tv as president Teke arrives at the White House, gets off the helicopter, shakes president Gardner's hands. As angry as Bill was at Nadia's arrest, he knows he still has to do his job. There are protestors outside the gate, angry at Teke's treatment of the kurdish people. There's also a counter protest on the opposite side, supporting the turkish government's steps to stop Alqueda and ISIS. Bill Buchanan had feared the terrorists would try to assasinate one or both presidents, but that seemed to have gone as smoothly as could be expected. There was the fear that, in a crowd of hundreds of protestors, one might try something. But they didn't, at least not yet.

In Riyadh Audrey Raines sees people jumping over the wall, desperately trying to get to safety. Mothers are holding their babies, pleading with the americans to take their children to safety. Audrey has ordered the marines to take the children to the helicopters first, one marine on the choppers to bring them to the waiting ships. She fears the crowd will get violent if there is no hope. Audrey plays a desperate card. She orders sgt Skinner to open the gates, let everyone in. Skinner obeys. A loudspeaker announces in arabic that all will be taken to safety, but order must be maintained. This seems to restore calm, at least for now.
