The courtroom is in some chaos. Judge Sherry Palmer tries to maintain order. Someone else just confessed to murdering Jane, and the only other witness was proven to be lying. Any other case Eugene knew he had reasonable doubt, but in a prison, where the defendant was a guard, who knew what the jury might say. Ofcourse Eugene knew that Deb was lying when she said she murdered Jane. She panicked because she knew that Hanson was about to say that she was his informant. In prison, Deb had a better chance if she was a murderer than an informant.

CTU quietly sneaks into the Plaza Hotel. This has to be done quickly and quietly, both to protect civilians and to keep the suspect from escaping. They know there's only one person in this room, hopefully Mandy. Johnny is watching a live feed, prepared to identify Mandy, or any other associate he might recognize. Theo hears the coming, and prepares his gun. No way to know for certain who these people are at first, whether they're here to arrest or kill him. CTU burst through the doors, Theo has taken cover.
.
Jack: CTU, drop your weapon.
Theo: If you're CTU show me your badge.
.
Jack presents his badge, at which point Theo drops his gun and surrenders. Johnny identifies Theo as the guy with the german accent that Mandy was meeting.
.
Jack: Who are you?
Theo: My name is Theo Stoller. I'm an agent with the Federal Intelligence Service of Germany.
