Curtis comes back to see Navi Araz again at the hospital.
.
Curtis: I thought you might like to know, you're son is alive.
Navi: What?
Curtis: He turned himself in, told us how you ordered him to blow himself up at the softball game.
Navi: That degenerate is no son of mine.
Curtis: You held back at least one potential target. Did Jamey Farrell really betray this country voluntarily?
Navi: Ofcourse.
Curtis: I'm thinking that the man who tells his own son to blow himself up, does not deserve to be trusted. Nor does he deserve morphine. Start telling us what the other targets are, and you'll get your morphine back.
Navi: You'll never stop us. You might have stopped my degenerate son, and that idiot Benson, but more will sacrifice themselves. Your people will suffer greatly today.

Daniel arrives at the little league game. Already these jewish and muslim children are playing together, he'd prefer to blow himself up now. But he has to wait, until 1pm. Daniel was an old man, as a child he had been educated by the fanatical rabbi Meir Kahana. Kahana taught him that there would never be peace between jews and muslims, that they had to use extreme measures to protect their people. Daniel was part of a group that protected elederly jewish people in Brooklyn in the 1960s, but they got more radical over time. First it was protests, demonstrations in support of U.S. involvement in Vietnam, protesting the Soviet Union's treatment of it's jewish population. Eventually they resorted to bombins, of JStreet, of Maki, and assasination attemps against politicians who tried to foster peaceful relations between jews and muslims. Daniel was told that this bombing would help stop the peace negotiations between president Donovan and Hekmetyar. In any event, he was glad to put an end to this "peace."

Aron Pierce is interrogating a cook at Camp David, Chi Man. Chi Man was from Vietnam originally, during the war he'd been drafted. He wasn't much of a soldier, but a north vietnamise officer saw he was a good chef, brought him along as his personal chef. This officer became commendant of a P.O.W. camp. When Chi Man saw the soldiers who were starving, he risked his life to sneak them food. After the war Chi Man fled, eventually reached America and was grnated assylum, even became a naturalized citizen. His dream was to open his own culinary school, one that taught juvenile offenders and at risk youth a valuable skill. But Chi Man also seemed to enjoy cooking for the White House, but he didn't like the idea of cooking for one of America's enemies. He wasn't the only one at Camp David who felt this way, but he had been one of the loudest voices. And now, he was being questioned by agent Pierce.
.
Chi Man: I swear, I don't even know anything about poison.
Pierce: Really. So your time in the NVA, they never taught you how to poison enemies?
Chi Man: I'm sure they poisoned political enemies, but that wasn't my function. I swear, I love this country.
Pierce: Enough to poison America's enemies.
Chi Man: I wouldn't do that. I wouldn't poison some bodyguard.
Pierce: What did you say?
Chi Man: I wouldn't poison some bodyguard.
Pierce: You knew that someone would be tasting Hekmetyar's food?
Chi Man: Yes, everyone does. At least everyone here.
.
Aron Pierce thought about this for a second. Even if some staffer at CTU wanted to poison Hekmetyar, they all knew that his bodyguard would be eating it first. Why put in a poison that acted fairly quickly. Maybe an amateur who didn't know the right dosage. Then Pierce realized exactly who poisoned this food.
