Down in the White House Bunker, Chad Lowe has finished his little project for Tom. He hands over a list of names of people he's pressured into agreeing to testify to something or other. Tom accepts the list and heads right over to Karen. "This isn't working for me," he whines. He basically tells her that he needs her out of there so that he can have full access to Wayne. Karen's like, "Not my problem, dude," and when Tom asks her to resign, she just laughs in his face: "What are you smoking?" Actually, that list in Tom's hand is a smoking gun, he says. He's found out that CTU-Seattle had Abu Fayed in custody fourteen months ago, and Buchanan signed for Fayed's release. Karen says that, at the time, there wasn't enough evidence to hold Fayed and the other "detainees" being held along with him. If that's the case, asks Tom, then why did Karen bury the file to protect her husband? Karen angrily insists that she did nothing wrong, but Tom says that no one will care, since Buchanan basically released a guy who ended up nuking L.A. He's got a point; there's no way to make that look good on a résumé. Karen gets in Tom's face, threatening him with the skeletons in his own closet. But he holds up his list of witnesses, saying that he's already got his proof; how long will it take to get hers? Karen calls Tom a son of a bitch, and he shrugs, "I never claimed otherwise." He says that it's not personal, and demands her resignation within the hour. It's 11:26:48.
