Plot

Template:Spoiler Jack Bauer, now reunited with his estranged father Phillip, is sent off to be killed, along with his father, on Graem's orders. The van arrives at a remote quarry/construction site where there is a large hole in the ground with wet cement at the bottom and a cement truck parked nearby, indicating that Jack and Phillip are to be shot and then entombed in concrete. However, as the two men are asked to kneel at the edge of the hole by the two men guarding them from behind, Phillip manages to distract the guard next to him, which allows Jack to disable first that guard, then the one who had been responsible for him. After Jack had disabled the guard near his father, Phillip was able to disarm the guard and take his weapon, but before Jack can question the second guard, Phillip kills the guard in apparent vengeance. Jack notifies CTU and orders a tactical team to surround Graem's house.

Meanwhile, a file that was sent from McCarthy to Fayed was intercepted by CTU. It contained information, including a photo, of the engineer McCarthy had found to re-program the triggers of the suitcase nukes for Fayed. However, the file was badly corrupted and Morris attempted to salvage it using a re-pixellation program that he was currently in the process of writing. While working on the file, Morris received word through Chloe that his brother was critically wounded from the nuclear bomb detonation earlier and had been admitted to a hospital to receive treatment for radiation exposure. Understandably, Morris wants to leave immediately to be with his brother at the hospital, but Chloe and Milo convince Morris to continue decoding the important file, arguing that if he left before the program was finished, valuable time would be wasted that might allow the other nukes to be armed.

Back at Graem's house, Jack continues to question Graem; however, Graem refuses to disclose any further information. Jack then orders Agent Burke to administer two cc's of the pain-inducing drug hyoscine-pentothal to Graem through an IV attached to his left arm. At first, Graem stil denies having any information, but when Jack increases the hyoscine-pentothal dosage to four cc's, Grame breaks under the extreme pain and gives up that he was involved in the assassination of former President David Palmer and the deaths of former CTU agents Tony Almeida and Michelle Dessler. Graem then admits that he even set up Jack to be the prime suspect in these killings. In shock and rage, Jack lunges at Graem, who is tied to a chair, knocking him over onto the floor. Jack draws his weapon and has it pointed at Graem's face, but is quickly overcome with grief and lowers the gun when their father appears in the doorway of the room.

Sandra Palmer visits Walid in the hospital, and gets a call from President Palmer about the beating of Waild inside the detention center earlier. Sandra explains to President Wayne Palmer that the FBI had Walid wired in order to obtain information from a suspected group inside the detention center. However, it yielded only internet chatter and failed to provide a direct link between the captive Muslims and Fayed. Shocked at this information, President Palmer sets up a cabinet meeting on the ground and with Vice President Noah Daniels to tell the entire Cabinet that Muslims represent the country's best defense against terrorism and will not accept Tom Lennox's proposed plan. Daniels pleads to President Palmer to look at other sources before coming to his conclusion, but President Palmer stands firm to his renewed decision.

After ensuring that the re-pixellation program is operational and working on the file, Morris gets permission to leave CTU to see his brother, but he leaves the building before the file has been repaired enough to see the image of the engineer in question. As he is in his car on the way to the hospital, the file is repaired enough to see that the the identity of the scientist that Fayed needs to re-arm the triggers is revealed to be Morris himself. The story about his injured brother was a ruse from Fayed as Darren McCarthy and Rita ambush Morris en route and take him hostage.

Phillip Bauer is also revealed to be more than an innocent bystander to Graem's criminal activities concerning the assassinations and suitcase nukes coverup; in fact, he has been calling the shots that Graem has been executing. Alone with Graem in the room where he had been questioned, and fearing that Graem might reveal too much when he is sent off to be interrogated at CTU, Phillip kills Graem by injecting all of the remaining vial of hyoscine-pentothal into Graem's IV. He then calls out to the agents in the next room (faking alarm and dismay), and says that Graem suddenly had a seizure.

Goofs

• When Bauer interrogates Graem, in one shot you can see clearly that Bauer's weapon hasn't got a magazine, yet later when he threatens to shoot both Graem and another officer, the gun has a magazine.
