As Agent Richards and Reza lie dead in the Warner offices, Marie guts the hard drive from her father’s computer. Her cell phone rings. It is Syed Ali, who informs her that the van drivers Basheer and Marko are dead. He needs her to retrieve the bomb’s trigger from Marko’s work locker in Burbank and bring it to Omar, who now has the van. Ali warns Marie to change her appearance, and she dutifully obeys his orders. Ali then enters a mosque for what he believes will be his last prayer service.

Novick also intimates that he should do whatever possible to get Stanton to reveal what he knows about the bomb. Meanwhile, Sherry phones Lynne to ask what is being done about Stanton, but Lynne has not been apprised of the situation. Sherry urges Lynne to find out.

6:10 P.M. – The CTU SWAT team sets up in a parking structure near the mosque. Jack instructs the team leader to not make a move until the prayer service has ended because they need to grab Ali on his way out of the building.

Lynne comes into the President’s office to tell him that Sherry has been trying to reach him. When he takes Sherry’s call, she asks what he will do about Stanton.

Despite her help in gathering information, Palmer refuses to include her in the process or let her influence him.

6:20 P.M. – At CTU, Tony admits to Michelle that he is happy about her opening up to the possibility of a relationship. Although he has been reluctant to start another office romance, he is willing to see what happens. They are interrupted by an alert about Bob Warner becoming violent in the interrogation room. Bob demands to be freed because he believes that Reza is lying about his involvement with the terrorists. Tony orders him to stay calm. When Bob asks about his daughters, Tony tells him that Kate is with one of their agents but he does not reveal what is happening.

Michelle gets word that Reza and the agents guarding him were murdered. The last time the agents communicated with CTU, Marie Warner had just arrived.

6:53 P.M. – Roger Stanton is restrained in a chair with his bare feet submerged in a tub of water.

He orders his team to raid the mosque, and he brings Kate with him. A glow of light flares from an adjoining room, and the agents find a man engulfed in flames. Jack extinguishes the fire as another agent covers the body with a blanket.
