From the clinic Jack informs CTU of the recent development. Sam will call her contact and hopefully Chloe can trace the other line. In the meantime Jack shows her pictures of numerous women from his cellphone, asks is she can see Kate. Samantha correctly identifies Kate Warner. Sam wonders why she and Jack appear to be together in the picture. They have to do this quickly. The terrorists expect Sam to be dead already, the next attack is less than one hour away. She calls Kate.

.

Kate: Why haven't you done it yet?

Sam: You said this was about protecting innocent children, you lied to me.

Kate: You had a deathwish, we gave you the chance to give your death meaning.

Sam: I don't mind dying to protect the un-born. But I won't help you keep a war going on.

Kate: Well consider this. You're either going to die, or spend the rest of your life in prison. I'd suggest option A.

.

As Kate hung up Jack realized it was indeed her. The woman he had once loved was now a terrorist. Chloe confirmed they had traced the call, Mike Doyle was already mobilizing a team to capture Kate Warner. Ideally they could stop the other bombers before the next attack. Morris had heard the name Kate Warner before, asked Chloe about it.

.

Morris: Who is this woman, and why does Jack already have a picture on his cellphone?

Chloe: Ten years ago her sister Marie was involved with the terrorist group "Second Wave" and their attempt to blow up Los Angelas. Kate and her father Robert Warner were eventually cleared, they even helped us stop the bomb, but Marie was executed.

Morris: So this is about revenge?

Chloe: Or money. Warner industries has defense contracts with the American and Israeli governments. Peace could threaten their billion dollar profits.

Morris: Getting back to my question about Jack.

Chloe: Jack and Kate dated briefly.

Morris: This has got to be awkward for Jack.

.

Nadia Yassir was briefing the president about this.

.

Palmer: So this whole thing is about Kate Warner protecting her money?

Nadia: Or revenge for the execution of her sister, we're not sure. We should have her in custody within half an hour. Hopefully enough time to stop the next attack.

Palmer: God willing. Warner industries would have the technology to block our tracers, but doesn't explain how she got our cellphone number.

Nadia: We'll be sure to ask her about it. But we'll be focusing on finding the other bombers.

Palmer: Ofcourse. Do whatever you have to do to stop attacks and protect American lives.
