President Palmer is in the oval office, discussing the situation with Mike Novick and Tom Lennox.
.
Palmer: Are the Israeli and Palestinian delegations still coming to the white house tomorrow?
Mike: I believe so sir. It seems this is mostly the work of fanatics from either side. But the leaders realize the peace treaty is best for their peoples.
Palmer: Someone got access to the president's private cellphone number. That doesn't sound like the work of a few suicide bombers.
Tom: We're ofcourse looking into it. We're also working with Israeli and Palestinian law enforcement to see if anyone over there was involved.
Palmer: I just pray they don't use this as an excuse to back out. America can provide this treaty with some credibility. I knew there were risks, but I didn't realize I'd be sacrificing American lives for this. We need this treaty, or those people would've died for nothing.
.
Jake is in his car listening to governor Reid's speech. Reid was calling those responsible for the bus bombing barbarians. Hearing a white man denounce him like this sickened Jake. Finally Kate Warner calls him.
.
Kate: The treaty is on. Palmer scheduled a press conference for 8:05.
Jake: Figures he'll either be saying he stopped me, or reporting on my damage.
Kate: It seems so. Looks like you'll have to go through with it.
Jake: Fine by me. These people have it coming anyway.
.
With that Jake stepped out of his car and walked towards a church. An African-American minister is greeting parishoners.
.
Jake: Reverand, I realize this isn't my usual church. I was hoping I could be here for these special services.
Minister: Ofcourse, all are welcome in God's house.
Jake: Good to know.
