Governor Reid's plane landed in D.C. He came out and shook Palmer's hand in front of the cameras. After a few brief moments they went into the limo to the capitol. The hearings would begin within an hour. It's quick, but for now Reid has the support of the people. In Max's club, he and Santiago, along with guard Richard Armus, are making preperations to leave the country. Santiago will miss this place, Ortega tolerated some of his cabinet having side businesses. Max really owns this place, although techically he's merely an "investor." At CTU Vicki is questioning Nadia Yassir. Nadia is uncertain if Vicki thinks she's guilty, or if this is just routine.

Nadia: My cell leader said his superiors wanted to recruit American soldiers into our cause, but that it would be risky to try.
Vicki: Anything about a nuclear power plant?
Nadia: They may have discussed it with each other. But Marwan hated women and was mis-trustful of American-born recruits.
Vicki: Yet two of Monroe's people were American-born women.
Nadia: It's usually difficult to recruit people into terrorist groups for extended periods of time. After my undercover time I learned that two of the terrorists I was in contact with, were also undercover for America. Sometimes Marwan took what recruits he could get.
