10:02 P.M.-10:09 P.M.: Jack calls into CTU and tells them he is fine, but needs to delay his job responsibilities to help find Kimberly. Mason and Nina realize that the only reason Jack would be set free is if the Drazens were going to try to get him to kill Palmer again. Mason calls the Secret Service to tip them off and to prevent Jack from getting to Palmer, while Palmer gives Patty his room key, and tells him to meet him in 20 minutes. Victor and Andre Drazen reunite with Alexis, but he dies shortly thereafter from internal bleeding.



10:14 P.M.-10:17 P.M.: Patty tells Sherry that Palmer has given her his room key and told her to meet him. Sherry tells Patty to report back to her after she sleeps with him. Tony discovers that the plans to the detention facility where Drazen was held at had been tampered with. Nina orders him to find out who has had access to them in the last month. She believes there may be a second dirty agent.



10:17 P.M.-10:20 P.M.: Nina tells Teri that Jack has been freed, but he is not yet ready to return to CTU. She also finally tells Teri that the Drazens have Kimberly. Jack calls Senator Palmer and tells him the Drazens want $200 million of their assets that were frozen when Victor was captured. Palmer agrees to let Jack past security once he arrives. Patty makes her way to the room where Palmer asked her to meet him. Once there, he fires her for collaborating with his wife. Tony discovers that Mason had accessed the plans to the detention facility. Nina tells him to find a way to shut down his network access.



10:24 P.M.-10:28 P.M.: David confronts Sherry, and tells her he fired Patty.



10:28 P.M.-10:32 P.M.: Jack arrives at the hotel, and asks Palmer to transfer the money. Palmer insists that even if he wanted to, he couldn't, as the money is not accessible. The phone rings, and Palmer agrees to help Jack by keeping him on the line. As Palmer begins to speak, Jack realizes how he was sent to kill him: the phone is a bomb. Jack throws the phone through the window and pulls Palmer down just as it explodes. The Drazens smile, as they believe their goal has been fulfilled.



10:37 P.M.-10:39 P.M.: Jack quickly jumps to action to search the rubble for clues. Sherry runs into the room to check on her husband. At the suggestion of Jack, Palmer tells the Secret Service to report that they don't know whether he survived. Jack tells Sherry that the world has to believe her husband was killed in the assassination attempt. Sherry is furious. He orders her down the stairs to collect the children.



10:39 P.M.-10:46 P.M.: Mason realizes his network access is down. He rushes down the stairs, and orders Tony to find out when Palmer leaves for Dallas. Nina tells Tony to restore his access but to redirect everything to her, so she can monitor him. Moments later, Mason rushes down the stairs to order the monitors turned on. The news has just broken that Palmer is dead.


Andre calls Jack, and tells him to meet them for a trade: him for his daughter. He warns Jack that if he tries to involve CTU, they'll know. Jack calls Nina and tells her he's going to get Kimberly, but won't say where he is going. Nina hands the phone to Teri. Jack tells his wife he's on his way to pick up Kimberly. Teri knows something might be wrong, and takes the opportunity to tell him that she is pregnant.



10:51 P.M.-10:54 P.M.: Andre tells Kimberly why they are holding her. He says how Jack set off a bomb that killed his sister. Mason calls Nina and Tony into his office, and tells them that Palmer is still alive. He orders them not to say anything, then asks if Jack has called in. Nina lies and says no.



10:54 P.M.-11:00 P.M.: Kimberly makes a daring escape, by throwing a can of hot coffee on the guard, and making it to the door and gets safely outside. Andre corners her on the edge of the pier, but Kimberly jumps into the water.

Jack races to the pier in order to trade his life for Kimberly's, unaware of her current situation. She manages to get her hands untied, and swims under the dock. Andre's phone rings. A woman on the other end, identifying herself as Yelena, advises that Palmer survived the bomb blast, and hangs up. Walking out of the shadows, Yelena is inside CTU -- Yelena is the second mole. Yelena is Nina Meyers.
