At CTU Chloe OBrien begins working on Dubaku's cellphone. Not suprisingly it's a burner phone, probably purchased within the last three days. It had become the preferred method of communication for terrorists, American operatives, street gangs. Essentially anyone doing illegal activities on a regular basis. The phone had been greatly damaged because it was close enough when Dubaku blew himself up, only through dumb luck was it not totally destroyed. Chloe knows getting anything off of it would be next to impossible, but it's the best lead they have. Director Mason is again on the phone with his superior, Ryan Chapelle.

.

Chapelle: How much of the data on this operation was lost?

Mason: Most of it. We're still trying to identify the mystery woman. It's possible the woman is new to espionage, or that someone ereased.

Chapelle: This is your fault George, your technician destroyed the data.

Mason: Two things. First, Chloe OBrien did that to keep our field agents from suddenly becoming targets for assasination. Second, we did this at the order of the president.

Chapelle: Bartlett wouldn't have ordered this if you hadn't slipped and let the terrorist hackers into your system.

Mason: We're still working on the source of that.

Chapelle: I have a few theories on that. One is your second in command, she is a muslim after all. She's only there for PR anyway.

Mason: She's here because she's a qualified and a patriot. Nadia's record includes going undercover with a terrorist cell, saved the president's life during that operation.

Chapelle: She could have been radicalized during that time. I will admit that she's been there three months, no incidents. Not until you brought in a mentally unstable ex-agent.

At the airport Tony finds an employee who remembers Mandy. He saw her use the keycard, along with a few others, in a restricted hanger. They grabbed some package and drove away. Tony and his team investigate the hanger, almost bare. They also notice something troubling, dead rats, six of them. Tony puts on a mask, gloves, and brings these rats back to CTU for further analysis. The foam on all of their mouths suggest they didn't just starve to death. Meanwhile Jack Bauer is allowed to see his wife again. Nadia leaves them for a few moments of privacy.

.

Teri: Thank you for saving me back there.

Jack: Anytime. I'll always be there for you Teri, even if you leave me. Are you, catching another flight?

Teri: The airport offerred us all first class tickets for a later flight of our choosing, and a modest cash settlement.

Jack: Trying to minimize bad publicity.

Teri: Yeah. I'm not sure I'll be using that ticket just yet.

Jack: Does that mean, you won't leave me?

Teri: I don't know. This doesn't change everything. We both had affairs.

Jack: I'm sorry.

Teri: I don't know if I blame you. Maybe if you wanted another woman, or I wanted another man, it meant we both wanted out of this marriage. I hope you and Audrey make it work.

Jack: I don't love her, I love you.

Teri: I love you too. But I don't know if it's enough. What you did today, I always kew you're a good soldier, I'm just not sure you were a good husband or father.
