By M. Giant | Season 6 | Episode 2 | Aired on January 13, 2007
Meanwhile, the Handler parks his car in the red zone outside Union Station. Assad parks about half a block behind him, the only other car by the curb. They sit and wait and watch. After only a few seconds, the Handler calls Fayed.
It's 7:57:15 as Fayed watches a TV report of an explosion, in Baltimore's largest shopping mall, that apparently also just occurred. When the Handler tells him that there hasn't been an explosion at Union Station, just a cloud of smoke four blocks west, Fayed tells him not to worry; the other attacks worked. I'm sure that will be a great comfort to the suicide bomber.
At CTU, word of said attacks is just coming in. Milo reports to Buchanan that there have just been three simultaneous explosions, including a Baltimore mall and a Chicago hotel, both of which are expected to have high casualties. Duh, that's because those cities don't have Kiefers. Milo breaks the news that the third attack was here in L.A., on the subway. Nadia arrives with word that it sounds like nobody but the suicide bomber was killed: "A Metro Rail employee claims a passenger ejected the bomber before he could set off his vest. Passenger identified himself as Jack Bauer." As if they didn't already know. Buchanan orders Morris to pull up video from the train to prove that Kiefer was on board: "I want visual confirmation before I speak to the President." Chloe calls Buchanan over, because she's nabbed a relevant cell-phone call that the NSA red-tagged. Gosh, I remember a couple of years ago, I scoffed at that very possibility. How naïve we all were. Anyway, Chloe plays the call back for Buchanan, and he hears the Handler talking to Fayed. "We need to contact the White House," says Chloe.
