Hellar: Is it true sir, someone tried to murder you in the bunker?
Palmer: Yes. We're still investigating how she gained access.
Hellar: I gave her the codes. I'm sorry sir, but they have Audrey.
Palmer: We changed all your codes after Audrey was taken. How could they still work.
Hellar: I don't know.
Palmer: I'm sorry Jim, but we can't ignore this.
Hellar: I know sir. I'll reisgn my office, face whatever charges you deem fit.
Palmer: Good. For what it's worth, I still hope we get Audrey back.

At the compound Samuel is watching the news. Not suprisingly they're all talking about the assasination attempt. No word on whether there were any fatalities. Meanwhile Jack captures the two guards. He points his gun at the older one, he refuses to give up anything. Then he points his gun on the younger one, threatening to kill him if the older one doesn't talk. This strategy works, he says where they're holding Audrey Raines. Jack knocks them both unconsciouss. After this Jack texts Nadia the likely location of Audrey. He is aware that if he's caught and killed Audrey will probably be executed before CTU arrives. But any chance to save her Jack will do. As Jack sneaks to the building a guard sees his unconsciouss comrades and radioes Samuel, they have an intruder. Samuel activates his back-up plan. He addresses everyone through the sound system. Samuel tells his men they've been infiltrated, he is going to blow up the buildings. They should leave but leave Audrey alive. An alarm goes off. Jack is aware it's a trap. The militia is fleeing, they're hoping Jack goes in and dies to rescue Audrey. Audrey might be already dead. But Jack Bauer would rather die with Audrey then leave her behind.
