Jack Bauer, Chloe OBrien, and the mysterious assasin known as "Mandy" quietly waited on the ground floor. If Mandy was telling the truth, a drone strike would hit the 36th floor soon, the conspirators would think the three of them were dead, at least temporarily. Chloe had hacked into local traffic cameras to get a better view. Sure enough, a missle came streaking towards Dunlop Plaza. This was not an American military missle, but one launched from a missle launcher. It was the mercenary Ira Gaines who fired it. Although he was fond of Mandy, he had to protect himself. Jack realized this could simply be a criminal protecting his own ass, but this missle hit the 36th floor, exactly where Jack lied and said his team was. Meanwhile general Juma sees from news reports that president Deby is alive and well, being taken back to the White House for his own safety. He calls his mystery man, the one who killed Nadia's brother Samir, and tells him the operation is on. He then makes a final call to vice-president Hellar.

Juma: You betrayed me.

Hellar: I gave your team all the intel I could. It's not my fault they couldn't accomplish your objective. We can work something out.

Juma: I don't negotiate with my enemies, I eliminate them. If the Bawa will not lose their president then, their newest ally, the United States of America, will lose some of its citizens. Consider this our final conversation.
