Mike Novick and Tom Lennox are talking to represenative Hunter and senator Collier respectively. Hunter is the speaker of the house of represenatives, Collier is the senate pro tem. Without a sitting vive-president they're second and third in line for the presidency. Mike and Tom are trying to persuade them to give governor Reid a smooth transition in the next few hours, feeling it's what's best for the country. Neither is comfortable making someone vice-president with so little vetting. But neither Hunter nor Collier wants to be seen as holding up the process merely for poltical gain. At Division Brad Hammond is catching up on paperwork. Hammond's deputy, Victoria Walsh comes into his office. Vicki is the daughter of Richard Walsh, Jack Bauer's old mentor.

Hammond: What is it Vicki?
Vicki: Iraqi authorities sent this over. It seems one of the leaders behind the plot to brainwash American soldiers was Habib Marwan.
Hammond: Marwan was killed five years ago. As I recall Nadia Yassir was undercover with a cell that answered to him.
Vicki: Yes sir. It seems unlikely Nadia Yassir knew anything about this though.
Hammond: Still, we can't eliminate the possiility of a leak, someone who gave Shari Rothenberg access to our systems. We shoud go to CTU, make sure everything is in order.
