Plot
Jack is debriefed by CTU after the remaining bombs are discovered. It is now known that the US military is going take over the custody of the bombs under presidential orders. After the debrief, Jack contacts Cheng Zhi, who is holding Audrey Raines. Cheng demands that Jack obtain a circuit board inside one of the bombs that would allow the Chinese government to gain information about the Russian military. Jack calls Chloe, who is in a briefing, and asks her to send the spec of the bombs. She hacks into Morris's system and sends it to Jack just before Morris comes back. Back in the White House bunker, President Palmer asks Lennox about Vice President Daniels' sudden decision to withdraw. Lennox reluctantly tells the President that he has a recording of Daniels conspiring to commit perjury. Karen then comes in the room and informs the President that the bomb crisis has ended. The President then orders his staff to transfer back to the Oval Office and set up a press conference.
Back in CTU, Morris notices that someone has hacked into his computer. Chloe then tells him that she did it for Jack. After she explains the situation, Morris refuses to keep it in the dark and forces Chloe to bring it to Bill. Bill refuses to let Jack do it. Meanwhile Jack walks toward the bombs, where two military guards stop him. Jack tells the two guards that he has presidential order to remove a circuit board from the bombs. The two guards don't believe him at first, but then they allow Jack to get what he needs. Then, Doyle and CTU tactical teams order Jack to stand down. Jack refuses and points his gun at them. Jack is then disabled by the military guards next to him. When Jack regains consciousness, he talks to Bill, who refuses to let him continue the operation. Jack demands to talk to President Palmer and tells the President about the situation. After Jack assures him that he would protect the chip at all costs, even his death, President Palmer reluctantly agrees and orders CTU to help Jack.
President Palmer then talks to Vice President Daniels and asks him to resign. After he refuses, Palmer uses the tape recording to force him to. Daniels tells his aide about it and prepares to hand in his letter after the press conference. During the conference, President Palmer collapses when he begins to repeat himself. Vice President Daniels again assumes executive duties and immediately reverses Palmer's approval on Jack's operation. Bill then orders Doyle to disarm Jack and bring him back to CTU. Doyle makes an excuse to Jack about the route they are taking being closed due to possible fallout and states that they must take an alternative route to reach Cheng. However, Jack figures out Doyle's plans, pulls his gun and orders Doyle to pull over and get out before driving off alone. At CTU, Chloe regrets telling Morris about what she did for Jack and is angry at him because of this.
