By Gustave | Season 3 | Episode 17 | Aired on 04.05.2004
Back at MI-6, Kiefer and Charlie Brown have escaped the building with barely a scratch between them. Kiefer calls Chappelle and tells him about MI-6 being attacked and how the Sahhhhn-ders-led organization is much larger and better organized than anyone thought possible. Chappelle is happy to report that he's gotten some leads off of his money trail search. Kiefer orders him to set up a team of analysts who'll be ready to retrieve all of the data from the server Kiefer took from MI-6. Chappelle says he'll "get on it." He walks across the CTU floor on his way back to his office. He stops when he sees that someone has opened a locked room. It's Soul Patch, getting those suicide capsules. "It's gonna get pretty bad down there," says Soul Patch. "It's against every regulation in the book," says Chappelle. "Do it!" Yep, Chappelle is going is going to die soon. He's being way too cool.
Back at Sahhhhn-ders's mod hideout, an underling informs Sahhhhn-ders that some of their men have been taken out during the attack on MI-6, and that Kiefer and Charlie Brown escaped unharmed. "But the hard drive was destroyed," checks Sahhhhn-ders. Sahhhhn-ders's elfin underling assures him that the hard drive was completely destroyed. This is a big relief to Sahhhhn-ders, although he grows sad when he learns of Diana's death. "I'll miss her," he says absent-mindedly, walking over to his computer terminal. The elfin underling has one more thing to tell him -- inquiries are being made by CTU about their bank accounts. This alarms Sahhhhn-ders. "A man named Ryan Chappelle," adds the investigator. "Apparently he's quite good at following money trails." Chappelle was good at something? Good to know.
The screen splits into three. In one screen, Sahhhhn-ders stares at his computer screen. Below, another guest is tested for the V-I-R-U-S. Chappelle and Potato Face follow the money trail on a computer while Kiefer and Charlie Brown drive back to CTU in the Kiefmobile and Bitchelle stares into space. Meanwhile, Brother Palmer is back in Palmerville, briefing Palmer on the helicopter attack of MI-6. "Any indication that the attack was triggered by what I said at the press conference?" asks Palmer. Brother Palmer can't convince him otherwise. Palmer tells Brother Palmer to tighten up border patrol and the airways. "Right away, Mr. President," says Brother Palmer. Palmer's phone rings. It's Sahhhhn-ders. "There's a man named Ryan Chappelle," says Sahhhhn-ders. "I want him killed by 7:00 AM." Palmer refuses. "Before you decide, you might want to drop by the Chandler Hotel," says Sahhhhn-ders. "Take a good look and then imagine the same thing happening in hundreds of locations across the U.S.!" "You're insane!" shrieks Palmer. The line goes dead. "What did he want?" asks Brother Palmer, who was listening from the doorway. The time is 05:59:57...05:59:58...05:59:59...06:00:00 AM.
