With help from CTU Washington Secret Service is tracking the 20 cannisters of nerve gas. Erica has provided them with a way to track them, using Bob Warner's technology. Tony Almeida is getting ready to strike, and forcibly remove the cannisters from the terrorist's hands. Meanwhile, at the White House, Jack Bauer and Audrey Raines are brought to see president Bartlett.

.

Bartlett: Mr Bauer, Audrey, thank you for your help. But why didn't you go through legitimate channels.

Audrey: During the lockdown you were under protection, it was impossible to contact you.

Jack: Also, we weren't sure who we could trust, here or at CTU. But if you wish to have us arrested, we will take whatever punishmnt you see fit to give.

Bartlett: No. It seems clear to be that Erica Lance didn't act alone. We're still searching for Bob Warner, but he seems to be running for his life. You're right, there could be others within the White House and CTU. The actions that you two have taken suggest I can trust you, and I could use one of each until we straighten everything out.

At the port of Baltimore Tony and his team strike, but the terrorists, and the cannisters of nerve gas, are gone. According to Tony's tracker they should be here. Erica is brought to the closed circuit tv to identify. To her horror she sees that the trackers are here. This is the same technology that Bob Warner planned to use to remotely activate the cannisters. Omar and the others might not be able to leave the country and use this against their true enemies, but now they can still use the technology to kill American civilias.
