Jack Bauer sees the news reports of the president's abduction. Vice-president Yassir is being sworn in as acting president. He is torn between wanting to help find her, and staying here to comfort his daughter and granddaughter when they need it. Then Jack remembers that CTU probably doesn't need his help, and that makes the choice easier.
.
Acting president Yassir meets with secretary of defense Bowen and secretary of state Vinnick.
.
Yassir: Technically I am president right now. But our main concern should be safely retrieving president Parker.
Vinnick: Agreed, and CTU is doing everything they can on that front. In the meantime we should assure world leaders, particularly Israel and Pakistan that we will commit ourselves to the treaty. Even if the worst happens.
Bowen: We should also put our military around the world on alert.
Yassir: We have no evidence of involvement by foreign governments.
Bowen: Still we should be ready, at the very least let our adversaries know we won't let them use this to push us around.
Yassir: Agreed. Secretary Bowen put our military on alert. I'll personally call prime minister Rosenberg and president Yousafzia to let them know America is committed to the peace treaty tomorrow. Then I should address the american people, make it clear we have a fully functioning government.

Eric: The president has been kidnapped, you have her phone.
Chris: Wow. I was just out here hiking.
Eric: I believe you Chris. We're going to trace your signal, can you tell us where they drove to.

Hunter and his men bring an unconsciouss president Parker to Atla's base. As they tie her up Hunter cofirms to Max and Tony that she's safely confined.
.
Max: I owe you an apology.
Tony: Don't worry about it.
Max: Now Atla will make his demands. I'm not sure if he'll toy with her for awhile, or execute her soon.
Tony: Even if CTU rescues her, she'll see the need to hire more private security, like our companies. Or president Yassir will do that. Either way it's a big in, we'll gain access to documents to sell, and become more powerful.
Max: Which will allow us to better protect our brothers and sisters in the field. Good work Tony.
