At the house Jack goes to talk with Morris.

.

Jack: How are you with the files?

Morris: Money trails, photographic evidence. All people Max has done business with over the last two years. Some of these people you wouldn't believe. Others you probably would.

Jack: Including John Reid?

Morris: Yeah. Max recruited Reid 16 years ago. Some of the terrorist operations were in California so that Reid could enact certai measures, appear to protect the people. The plane bombing the day of the presidential primary was done partly to make David Palmer appear weak. Max insisted Marwan use his warhead against California. Marwan wanted to hit Chicago or St Louis, which was a lot closer.

Jack: Have you found Max's next target?

Morris: Not yet. Whatever it is, Reid believes it'll unite all Americans behind whatever he does next.

Jack: Concentrate on finding the next target, we can't have more than a few hours left.

Hanson briefs his team on the assault. Noone seems upset about murdering innocent people. These "cops" have no idealogy, caring olly about the big payday. They are rogue's a disgrace to otherwise good police officers. But under president Reid, they could become the rule, not just the exception. Hanson says the disc is the priority, try to avoid killing Kim, but do what they had to do. At CTU Vicki asks to see Brad Hammond in private.

.

Vicki: Has Audrey Raines revealed anything yet?

Hammond: She will, it's only a matter of time.

Vicki: Why would Jenkins commit suicide, when he was fighting so hard to survive and remain free?

Hammond: He was afraid of Max. Max is known for murdering families of his enemies, and for painful deaths.

Vicki: Jenkins had no family, he seemed like a survivor.

Hammond: How is Megean? That's your lover's name right.

Vicki: She's my partner. How is that relevant?

Hammond: Palmer might be more tolerant than other presidents, but homosexual conduct can still be damaging to one's career. So my advice is not to question your superiors, and stay out of things that don't concern you.

.

At the house Kim appears to be nervous. Everyone assumes it's just because of the situation. They don't realize that she's setting them all up to die. But her fears seem to be well-founded when the light suddenly go out. Jack and his group prepare for the comig assault.
