Jack Bauer continued to interrogate Christopher Henderson at the power plant. There were still six terrorists unaccounted for. Both reactors were secure, but if they somehow melted them down, Jack wanted Henderson to have a front row seat.
.
Jack: Six of the people you recruited are still unaccounted for.
Henderson: They knew it was a kamikaze mission. But if they lost their nerve I won't endanger their escape.
Jack: They weren't your people, they were Sabzi's. You know that Allen and the others answered to him.
Henderson: He was a temporary ally, a means to an end.
Jack: Two leaders try to make peace, so the fanatics on both sides team up to stop the peace.
Henderson: Sabzi might have been a lunatic but he was right about one thing, there will never be peace between America and the msulim world.
Jack: You're going to spend the rest of your life in a prison hospital, you want any chance of redemption help us stop them.
Henderson: I think you're bluffing.
Jack: Read this file.

President Donovan nevously paces in the bunker. Both reactors at the plant are secure, but the six terrorists were likely still at the plant. They might be delaying solely becaus of wind conditions. They're taking a chance in delaying because they want maximum casualties, and in less than half an hour they'll have the optimum moment to strike. This has always been the hardest part of the job, when he's done everything that can be done and there's nothing left to do but nervously wait. Whether or not the terrorists suceed Donovan still plans to continue his peace initiative with Hekmetyar. It's still the best way to prevent future attacks long-term, and a way for soldiers on both sides to finally have a chance to come home.

George Mason nervously paces. Everyone is hard at work trying to find some way to stop the six terrorists at the plant, but at this point there's little they can do. It's ironic, they're too far away to stop a meltdown, but if the reactors blow these people are close enough to be contaminated. Mason seriously contemplates releasing cyanide capsules, the kind that CTU keeps only for covert operations, where the covert nature of the mission greatly exceed's the operative's life. He doesn't want to die, but he doesn't want any of these people to suffer fatal radiation poisoning. Come what may, George Mason is honored to have served along these noble patriots. Whatever happens at the plant, he'll let them know that.
.
Henderson doesn't want to believe it, but the evidence is overwhelming. Six of the people he recruited were actually Sabzi's people.
.
Henderson: My god, what have I done?
Jack: You can still help clean up your own mess. Tell us everyone who was suppossed to be involved in this mission.
Henderson: Okay.
