Curtis and his team are preparing to arrest Jonas Hodges. It's possible that he won't resist and they'll be able to serve the arrest warrant peacefully. But CTU wants to be prepared for the likelihood that this won't happen. In the meantime Mason is on the phone with Chapelle.
.
Chapelle: You just let this ACLU liberal stop your interrogation?
Mason: She had a court order.
Chapelle: If you lose your chance to arrest Sabzi and the others responsible...
Mason: We might have one more chance with her.
Chapelle: What's that?
Mason: We release her, follow her. If she's desperate she might try to contact Sabzi or others involved.
Chapelle: That seems like a long shot.
Mason: Well torture didn't work, threatening her friend didn't work, so I'm running out of ideas.
.
At this point Milo came to Mason to tell him what they'd uncovered.
.
Milo: We found a money trail between Gaines and Hodges. Payments Hodges has been making to Gaines for three years now.
Mason: We can use this to question him. Good work Milo.
.
Hodges knows CTU is coming for him. He makes arrangements with his security team for the inevitable.
.
Kim, Behrooz, and Gary just wait, try to stay out of the way of Willow's parents. Gary keeps looking out the window, fearing someone would come for one or more of them.
.
Mason goes to see Willow and Adaeze.
.
Mason: You're free to go.
Adaeze: I will sue your agency for what you did to me.
Mason: Then I probably shouldn't be talking to you. Have a nice day.
.
Willow and Adaeze leave, unaware that Nina Myers is following them. With CTU stretched so thin Mason needs her help right now.
.
Santos informs president Donovan about the upcoming assault on Hodges. Donovan then completes his argument for staying in office.
.
Donovan: We might not be able to prevent war, but showing restraint now helps our credibility with our allies, will benefit America in the long run. And if we can still negotiate with Hekmetyar, we might actually bring America's longest war to an end. Myself and Haffley have each made our arguments, perhaps we should vote now. Removing me from office requires a majority vote, or eight votes or more. I suggest a secret ballot, the attorney general tallies the votes and then reveals the outcome. Agreed?
Haffley: Agreed. Let's begin.
