Governor Reid arrives near the Santa Fe nuclear power plant. The plan was to assure the world it's safe, but he decides to wait until they've officially secured the plant. Best not to give the terrorists advance warning. And Reid is a little scared being this close to the plant that has yet to be secured. Max watches news coverage. Although the leader of the takeover is his ally, he's glad to be in another country, hundreds of miles away from the plant, and criminal prosecution. He was hoping for Jack Bauer's death. Jack had caused him many problems over the years. But after today, even the great Jack Bauer couldn't touch him. In the white house president Palmer considers his options. If any government was responsible for this, he'd have to invade. But if it was just some rogue group, who could he retaliate against? At the plant an unconsciouss Jack Bauer is brought to a room that the leader has made into his private office. He tells his men to tie up Jack and then leave. They obey. He then uses smelling salts to wake up Jack. He tells Jack "My men wanted you dead, but I own you this, old friend." Jack recognized his voice. It belonged to a man he saved four years ago. But seeing what he'd done with his life, Jack was beginning to wish he'd killed him. He removed his mask, but Jack already knew who this was. It was his old mentor, Christor Henderson.
