Jack Bauer arrives at Charles Logan's estate, ready to fly him to Ortega's country. Jack hates Logan and doesn't care if the feeling's mutual. Once there he believes Logan could request assylum, and have Jack executed on the spot. But to find Max, end whatever attack might be coming next, Jack is willing to risk it. At the church David Hoffman is being briefed by Nadia Yassir on the phone. Behrooz Araz had been investigated. No proof he ever knew his parent's plan involved hurting civilians. He thought they were only to execute James Hellar, secretary of defense and essentially a military target. The fact that the mob had a former "terrorist" surrounded was a coincidence. David figured if a mob attacks several people, they might actually kill a guilty person here and there. He could hear Baker telling the crowd to disperse, return to their homes. Some were leaving, but Andrew still had control over some of them, including his teenage son Andy. After the reactor was hit, Andrew and Andy fled, used a lot of their savings to bribe guards to get out quicker. Now they, like most of the country, were upset. The summer heat wasn't helping matters. At the hospital Richard leaves. He believes he can use his connections to help keep his father out of prison, or at least keep him in an American prison. Despite their differences it didn't seem right to have his father rot in an Israeli or Palestinian prison. All the while Charles Logan, who represented all of Richard's anti-government conspiracy theories, got to live in a luxurious mansion. At Logan's mansion the call is placed to president Ortega. Jack silently listens in.

Ortega; Charles, my old friend. How are you doing after all this mess?
Logan: As well as can be expected.
Ortega: My country is wiling to give whatever cooperation we can.
Logan: We have things under control. But actually it might help if I came to your country briefly. Let the world know you stand with us, particularly as you're a member of OPEC.
Ortega: Ofcourse, you're welcome here anytime.
Logan: If it's not too inconvenient, how about tonight. It would help us if it's done before the treaty signing tomorrow morning.
Ortega: That would be fine. I was planning to watch the cubs game, but it's been postponed for security reasons.
Logan: Thank you, I'll see you soon.

Jack believed their conversation was the polite talk between diplomats. But he couldn't help but wonder if one or both of them had used some kind of code words.
