Jack Bauer and his group are listening to Reid's innaguaration speech on the radio. They are also driving towards the bank that Hammond told them about.
.
Chloe: The bank has a safe, which cannot be opened until 9am.
Jack: Can you hack it early?
Chloe: Not without triggering the alarm to the police station. I'm not being modest Jack, it's impossible to do it without triggering the alarm.
Nadia: I have an idea. When I was undercover my cell leader taught me how to create fake IDs. We may be able to work around this.

At CTU Hammond is telling everyone that Jack Bauer, Nadia Yassir, and Chloe and Morris O'Brien are traitors and fugitives. Audrey Raines is in league with them,they will soon be interrogating him. David Hoffman doesn't believe him, but for the moment Vicki Walsh does. At his compound Max is regaining his strength. The fact that Reid is now in office has given him new strength. But he knows Jack Bauer is still on the loose, so Max calls his operative Hanson.
.
Max: Jack Bauer needs to be dealt with.
Hanson: I always hoped I'd get the chance to pay him back for what he did to me.
Max: I'm texting you the address of the bank that he's heading to. You're free to kill Bauer or anyone of his friends, but destroying the disc he's after is your top priority.
Hanson: Understood.
.
After his speech Reid talks with general Bowen privately.
.
Reid: We need to retaliate for today's attacks.
Bowen: I agree. We've found a terrorist training camp, sufficiently isolated from civilians. Palmer rejected this, but I believe it would be in our best interest to strike.
Reid: That's insufficient. They tried to melt down our nuclear power plant, we should retaliate with nuclear weapons.
Bowen: Against who?
Reid: The most likely suspects. North Korea, Iran, Pakistan.
Bowen: But we have no evidence they are involved in this. Pakistan is even our ally, more or less.
Reid: For a joint attack, how long would it take?
Bowen: To move our submarines into position, to do it all at once, about five hours.
Reid: I'll give the order immediately to move them.
Bowen: There are two things you should know. As long as Wayne Palmer is alive he's technically the president. As acting president, you don't have the authority to launch a nuclear attack. The second is that a nuclear attack requires the president, and the chairman of the joint chiefs, that would be me. And I will not agree to a nuclear attack.
