7:00 P.M.-7:04 P.M.: Jack tells the Iman in charge of the mosque of the bomb. He tells Jack that he will try and speak with Ali if they can catch him. One of the agents finds a trap door under a rug, that not on the building's blueprints. Jack crawls inside to search for Ali.



7:04 P.M.-7:05 P.M.: Ali calls Marie to tell her the plan has changed and to meet him at the rendezvous point. Should he not arrive in half an hour, she 'knows what to do.' Jack finds and grabs Ali and prevents him biting the cyanide tooth in his mouth.



7:05 P.M.-7:09 P.M.: George begins talking to Bob. He asks him to give any information he might know about his daughter to give them a clue as to why she is working with Ali. Bob tells George that Marie ran away a few years ago when her mother died in London. When she returned a few weeks later she seemed more distant. The interview is interrupted by Michelle telling him they found a clue in Ali's burnt clothing. A new computer expert to replace Paula arrives to analyze the burnt fragment.



7:09 P.M.-7:10 P.M.: The interrogation of Roger Stanton continues with Palmer watching on a monitor. Mike informs him that Jack is now interrogating Ali.



7:14 P.M.-7:15 P.M.: George yells at Tony for working on locating Kim, and tells him to divert his attention back to finding the bomb.



7:15 P.M.-7:17 P.M.: Kim is getting cold, still stuck in the hunters trap she hears something approach. Fearing it may be the cougar she hides. A man approaches, clearly a hunter. He asks Kim why she's there, she gives him a quick partial answer. Then he helps her out of the trap.



7:17 P.M.-7:24 P.M.: Back at the mosque, Jack is still interrogating Ali. He refuses to talk. Kim's foot is being bandaged by the hunter, and tells her he must take her to the ranger station. When she refuses he tells her he can take her to his place for the evening.

The Iman enters the room and attempts to convince Ali to give up the bomb. He tells him that the murder of millions will not get him into Paradise, but Ali's twisted view of Islam has him convinced otherwise. The man leaves, and is escorted back upstairs, but not before telling Jack that he wants to try again. Agent Baker tells Jack they have the number Ali called last, Kate recognizes the number as Marie's. Jack then tells her that Marie killed Reza and the agents. She refuses to believe it. Jack tells Kate that she can phone her sister, but that she must keep her on the phone as long as possible so they can pinpoint her location.



7:28 P.M.-7:31 P.M.: At the mosque, Kate calls Marie's cell using their network so that they can track her phone. Marie tells her that she is aware that Kate knows what is going on. With the cell phone traced, Marie tosses her phone out the window. Jack orders that area of LA closed down to find her.



7:31 P.M.-7:32 P.M.: Back at CTU, the ranger station phones in to say they are still looking for Kim, meanwhile, the new computer expert is making progress on the burnt paper. The only characters that can be made out on the charred paper is "N32."



7:32 P.M.-7:34 P.M.: The picture is sent to Jack, he rushes back to Ali and demands to know where the bomb is again. Ali refuses. Jack then switches on a TV. Ali watches in shock, as his family are tied up in their home by masked men preparing to execute them. Jack tells him that unless he tells them where the bomb is, he will execute his family.



7:38 P.M.-7:43 P.M.: Mike notifies the President that Jack is going to execute Ali's family unless he gives up the bomb. Palmer has a crisis of conscience as he tries to rationalize the recent turn of events. Jack continues the mind game with Ali as he watches in horror as his family is tied up. Ali responds by saying he is doing Allah's work. The President calls Jack and tells him he can't kill the family. Jack proceeds by having a mock conversation, then tells the others the president has authorized the action.



7:43 P.M.-7:45 P.M.: Back at the bunker, people are starting to ask about Roger. Lynn tells Mike that someone has approached her with evidence of a mass of communication between Roger and Sherry. Lynn tells Mike that she has a meeting with the currently unknown source in ten minutes off site. Mike tells her he will tell the president once there is proof.



7:45 P.M.-7:46 P.M.: Jack orders Ali again to reveal the bomb's location. When he refuses, Jack orders the death of his youngest son, and is shot.



7:51 P.M.-8:00 P.M.: Lynn arrives for the spooky off-site meeting with her anonymous source, but they don't show. However, Sherry walks onto the scene and tells Lynn to back off, and that she is being set up. Lynn doesn't believe her and she walks away.

The interrogation of Ali continues. Jack orders the next son dead but Ali stops him, telling him the bomb is at an airfield. He tells him the plan is to fly an airplane over downtown and detonate the bomb in flight. Ali is escorted out of the room screaming at Jack for killing his youngest son. He checks the live feed again and we see Ali's son get up -- it was all a ploy to have Ali give up the location of the bomb. Jack and Kate get into a car and rush to the airfield.

Marie arrives at the airfield and delivers the bomb's trigger device. They place it in the bomb, then leave to pray.

Tick, tick, tick...
