At CTU Andy continues working on the disc. Most likely the damage is done, nothing much useful can be learned, but working on decryption is better than just nervously waiting for news of his husband Tom. One thing Andy doesn't understand, why the news of president Parker's death seems to have legitimately been painful for Tony Almeida. He claimed it didn't matter whether Parker or Yassir was president, but perhaps Andy was just grasping at straws, an aspect of Tom being in constant danger.
.
Hunter and Parker are spotted by three ISIS terrorists. They open fire from a distance. Parker and Hunter tried to return fire. The firefight ends when Jack Bauer and Eric Carter arrive and kill the three terrorists. Carter than orders Hunter to drop his weapon, he complies and gets on his knees.
.
Eric: Madam president, it's good to see you again.
Parker: You two, both of you.
Eric: John Hunter, you're under arrest for treason.
Hunter: I was promised a pardon, but circumstances were different at the time. What do you say madam president?
Parker: What I said was under duress, no court of law would uphold it. So no, I can't pardon you for your crimes. But I can give you a head start. Agent Bauer, director Carter, I am ordering you to let John Hunter go. If the police find him later he will face justice in a court of law. But he did save me in there, and after this I owe him nothing.
Hunter; Fair enough, take care.
.
Hunter left, despite Jack and Eric advising the president against this.
.
Parker: Has Atla been found yet?
Eric: No, but we believe he ordered his men to stay and fight until you've been killed.
Parker: Yeah he'd stay to make sure I'm dead. Which means I can be used to lure him out.
Jack: With all due respect, we should get you to safety.
Parker: He can still pose a threat as long as he's free. Maybe not on as big a scale, but Atla can still murder innocent people. We need to stop him now, before the treaty is signed.
