By Gustave | Season 2 | Episode 19 | Aired on 04.14.2003
CTU. Bitchelle sees Soul Patch looking at her, so she walks over to where he is standing on the catwalk. Tony tells Michelle that he informed the President about Jack's evidence. "You did the right thing, Soul Patch," says Bitchelle. Tony tells her to confirm that the chip is real when Kiefer brings it to CTU. Bitchelle goes off to prepare the Whatever Technology that verifies stuff like that. Soul Patch exits, but before he does, Bitchelle thanks him.
The Kiefmobile. As Yusuf drives towards Jack's meeting point, Kate tries to phone CTU. All the circuits are clogged, and she can't get through. Yusuf comments that they are too busy preparing war against his country. "There won't be a war," says Cate, standing by her man and the agency he works for. "They'll get the chip, they'll know the truth." PMAA is all, "You might feel differently if it was your family being threatened." Cate is silent. They pull up to the location. PMAA gets out to look for Kiefer.
Meanwhile, at Doc In The Box, Jose, Luis and Slam follow their monitor into the basement of the clinic. The monitor starts beeping more rapidly in front of a locked door. They kick it in and look around. There is no sign of Kiefer, but the monitor leads them to a folded-up piece of paper on the floor. Inside it is the tracker, but no chip. Jose looks out the window and just happens to see Kiefer running away from Doc In The Box. Another car pulls up in front of Kiefer. Kiefer pulls out a gun and shoots at them, but a guy named Ronnie Stark shoots Kiefer with a taser. He falls to the ground. On Stark's orders, the men carry Kiefer's limp body back inside the clinic. The time is 02:21:05 AM.
The time is 2:25:16 AM. Yet another warning of graphic violence appears. Klockwise from the top left, Cate sits in deep thought in the Kiefmobile, PMHC makes a phone call, and PMAA paces the parking lot. At division, PMHC is informing what I assume is someone from the Defense Department that Palmer isn't going through with the attack. Rolaide enters, they both bitch about the "blowback" from Palmer's change of heart. Rolaide asks PMHC if he knows anything about a meeting that the Vice President called with the cabinet for the end of the next episode…I mean, "in an hour and a half." PMHC asks what the agenda for the meeting is. Rolaide replies that she doesn't know, because she wasn't invited. She only heard about it secondhand. "Do you think it could have anything to do with the President calling off the military strikes?" asks PMHC. "What else could it be?" says Rolaide. PMHC asks if she's told Palmer. Rolaide says that she didn't, because it could turn out to be just a rumor, but asks PMHC to keep her posted if he hears anything.
