At his safe house Max is summonned to the security room by Armus. Richard Armus was once a secret service agent, involved in Roger Stanton's plot to allow a nuclear bomb into Los Angelas. Armus escaped and now worked directly for Max as security. In this room they have a live security feed within CTU.
.
Max: What is it?
Armus: I thought you should know right away. CTU believes some of Henderson's team are planning to melt the plant down, for real.
Max: That idiot could ruin everything. Our operatives will be harmed. Right now that would be unacceptable. When will they melt it down?
Armus: Their best guess is between 1:55 and 2:05 pm California time.
Max: Contact out covert operatives, make sure they put everything into stopping the meltdown immediately.
.
Max was suprisd about this development. For once he and CTU had the same goal, albeit briefly, stopping the meltdown. Reid is still speaking outside the plant, still assuring people everything is okay. Brad Hammond had been on his way to personally accept Reid's congragulations in front of the cameras, now Hammond wasn't coming. In the plant Mike Doyle and his team are guarding one reactor. Procter is still there, her cellphone still recording from it's spot. Jack Bauer and his team are guarding the other reactor. They have been given descriptions of the terrorists. Based on Omar Ali's intel, and who Henderson named from his team. A fomer soldier named Jackson is likelt the leader of the six remaining terrorist. Jack and Doyle are communicating.
.
Doyle: No sign of them here.
Jack: Or here. They'll likely wait until the last minute, try to ensure maximum casualties.
Doyle: How does it happen, a soldier becoming a terrorist.
Jack: There have always been cases of soldiers going to the other side after a war. George Lincoln Rockwell, Carl Dix. But why they would do it, I don't know.
