In Max's office Cheng is on the phone. As he hangs up he seems dissapointed.
.
Cheng; Our usual clients are u-willing to pay our price for the Cordella virus. They either don't believe we have it, or they're hesitant to have their hands on such a deadly weapon.
Max: Two years ago, when Assad gave his life for peace, it set off a chain-reaction. Radical groups trying to become legitimate, most now un-willing to use weapons of mass destruction. It doesn't matter. Within an hour the whole world will know the virus still exists. After Reid uses nuclear weapons, every radical group and rogue state will pay us handsomely. And our new operative, you believe he's properly trained for this?
Cheng: He has the potential to do this. His loyalty is somewhat suspect.
Max: It worked in turning American soldiers into fanatical muslims. It should work on him.

At the white house Reid has called Tom Lennox and Mike Novick into a private meeting. Pierce is also here. Pierce informs them all of Waye Palmer's death. Mike and Tom hope it's not true, the look on Pierce's face gives them some hope. Reid brings up retaliation. Mike suggests waiting until the bombs are dropped before informing the American people about Palmer's death. The people will be more willing to accept such retaliation if they hear it right after Palmer's death. Reid likes this idea. He schedules a press conference for 10am D.C. time, barely three hours from now. Meanwhile in California Jack continues to hold Kim's lifeless body. He barely notices Nadia come over to him.
.
Nadia: Jack, we have to go. The disc was too damaged to prove Reid's guilt but we know the next target. They're going to release the Cordella virus at LAX.
Jack: I thought that virus was destroyed.
Nadia: All the ones we retrieved were. Saunders claimed he acted alone, apparently he was lying. We need to go now.
Jack: Okay. Chloe, I'm sorry.
Chloe: Not now Jack. I know you didn't intend for Morris to die, but he did. My child will never know her father, because of you.
.
Jack got into the car to stop Max's operative. But he feared he'd lost not only his child, but also his friendship with Chloe forever.
