Vice-president Hellar and Audrey Raines arrive at CTU. Given everything that's happenned Hellar wants to be involved personally to oversee things. Nadia quickly briefs Hellar on the situation at the plant. At the white house general Bowen discusses military retaliation with president Palmer.
.
Palmer: It's a little premature to discuss retaliation general. We don't even know who these terrorists are.
Bowen: We believe they are being financed by the usual suspects. Iran, North Korea.
Palmer: Can't rule it out, but Kate Warner could've financed this attack before her death to derail the peace treaty.
Bowen: Perhaps. But with your permission I'd like to begin analyzing possible targets for retaliation. Terrorist camps, isolated from civilian populations. Possible "extraction" scenarios for foreign leaders who are directly involved.
Palmer: You have my permission to draw up plans. But take no steps to implement them without my explicit, direct, authorization.
Bowen: Understood mr president.

As general Bowen did this Governor Reid was overseeing the evacuation. Police were doing what they could to prevent panic, and distribute medication as needed. This wasn't easy with so many believing they needed it to reduce risk of radiation poisoning. At CTU Los Angelas Morris quietly returns to his desk. He told his brother Timothy to take his and Chloe's daughter Jill away from the city. Morris even told Tim about the stash he and Chloe kept hidden for an emergency, which today qualified as. Although Chloe and Morris were scared, they were willing to stay here and do their job. But they wanted their child away from all this.
