Teri: Okay. I'm just glad you're back home. After what happenned, I feared the worst.

At the rendevous point president Bartlett hides in the bushes with Aron Pierce. Ishmael arrives with Zoey, and has a gun to her head.
.
Ishmael: Mr president. I know you're here somewhere. If you do not present yourself, your daughter dies here.
.
President Bartlett cannot take it anymore. He presents himself and begins walking towards Ishmael. Renee Walker doesn't have a clear shot. She knows if she shoots Zoey, her father will have no reason to turn himself over. She takes a shot, and misses. Ishmael believes he's been betrayed, and orders Gaines' mercenaries to open fire. Zoey tries to run away, but Ishmael holds her. His men grab the president and knock him unconscious. Both sides suffer casualties, but Ishmael escapes with both president Bartlett and Zoey. Acting president Hellar is informed of the situation. He calls acting CTU director Ryan Chapelle.
.
Chapelle: Yes sir?
Hellar: The terrorists have Bartlett, but he is alive.
Chapelle: This could be bad for our plans. If Bartlett survives, he could stop our plans.
Hellar: He doesn't know about your involvement in my conspiracy. But yes, he could stop the bombing of Qumar. I need you to sabotage the investigation.
Chapelle: I can arrange that, already have something in mind.
Hellar: Do that, and you'll have a much higher position in my administration than in Bartlett's.
