Chloe OBrien has calmed down enough to return to work, to try and find a solution. Meanwhile secretary Vinnick has reached the undisclosed location to speak with general Bashir.
.
Vinnick: Juma's forces used the nerve gas to attack CTU Washington. A lot of people are still trapped inside, God only knows if they'll ever get out alive.
Bashir: I'm sorry to hear that. Juma will attack again, this time your civilian population.
Vinnick: Any specifics in mind?
Bashir: If he has the resources he'll hit 18 highly populated areas, sporting events, shopping malls.
Vinnick: Since the crises began president Bartlett has encouraged people to stay at home, avoid the usual Saturday night activities.
Bashir: Then he'll be looking for a way to distribute all the gas at once, find a way to kill as many as he can. There's something else. SInce Juma broke away from the official Askari rebel army he needs support, I have evidence he's been working with Abdul Shariff.
Vinnick: Shariff is the defense minister of Qumar. They're an ally in the war on terror.
Bashir: Their prime minister might be a true ally, but his defense minister supports Alqueda.

George Mason calls his son John from CTU. This might be the last time they ever speak.
.
John: What is it dad, I have a date in an hour.
Mason: A date, after all this?
John: I think you lost the right to lecture me a long time ago.
Mason: Fair enough. I was a lousy father, and I'm sorry. I should have been a teacher, but the DOD offerred me more money. So I made myself miserable, and everyone around me miserable, including my family, for an extra five grand per year. Don't make my mistake John, do what you want to do with your life.
John: I will. Look dad, if you want to hang out sometime, I'd like that.
Mason: I'd like that too, we'll see. I love you John.
John: I love you too dad.
.
George decided not to tell his son about his secret account. His attorney knew to give the money to John if anything happenned to him, but George was still hoping to get out of this alive, and not be prosecuted. But Chloe found something that made that much less likely. The acidic substance on the nerve gas. In less than forty minutes it would eat through the doors, they would all be dead.
