At the white house Reid hides Bowen's body with help from some of Max's operatives. They begin cutting off Bowen's hand. With these fingerprints Reid will be able to aunch the nukes in less than two hours. Jack Bauer meanwhile sneaks through Max's building. There was so much security to get access, but Jack hoped that now that he was here, the assumption was he belonged here. At CTU Vicki goes to see Hammond in his office.

Hammond: This better be important.
Vicki: It's about David Hoffman. I have proof that he's been in contact with Jack Bauer.
Hammond: How would you know this?
Vicki: I was invited to their conversation, recorded the whole thing. I can give it to you, for a price. I want a raise, double my salary actually. And I want to be promoted, to president Reid's personal staff.
Hammond: I'll make arrangements within the hour. But I want the recording right away.

Vicki began leading Hammond to the interrogation room, the very place where Vicki and David Hoffman had spoken to Jack and the other rebels. There was a computer on the table. Vicki said she'd access the recording on the computer. While Hammond's attention was on this David snuck up on him and knocked Hammond unconsciouss with chloroform. Before he lost conscioussness Hammond could see that Vicki had lied to him, she'd chosen Jack's group. Vicki preferred to think her father was smiling from Heaven right now. At Max's skyscraper the guard's noticed Jack on the cameras. Max became enraged. He ordered his new operative to take a team and eliminate Jack. Cheng advised against this, the operative was too valuable, and his loyalty was suspect. But Max loved the idea of Jack Bauer being murdered by a old friend, and ordered it done.
