Chloe's managed to analyze the data from the cell phone in record time. She's found a web page in the cell phone's browser cache where Heydar could have gotten the information on the bomb in Valencia. "These guys aren't terrorists. They're spectators," she tells a frustrated Agent Blond. He asks why they didn't report the website if they're so innocent, and Sandra pounces on him for being stupid enough to think they'd tell him about something that incriminating. Agent Blond thanks Chloe, hangs up, and tells his walkie-talkie that they're pulling Walid out of there. Sandra's already on her way.
Out on the yard, Salim is telling the outrageous story of how he got arrested from home, but Walid and I aren't paying attention, because Heydar has just realized that his phone is missing. And the last time he saw it was right before he ran into Walid. Putting two and two together, he accuses Walid of taking it. Walid's normally quick wits pick this moment to abandon him; instead of offering to go with Heydar over to the spot and secretly dropping it on the ground (which wouldn't work, but might at least buy him the few seconds he needs), he denies everything. The circle turns on Walid as he begins to back away, and Heydar tells them to search him.
Sandra reaches the gate to the yard and tells the guard to let her inside. He refuses. A shame, really; I would have loved to see Sandra rush in there alone and start trying to kick some detainee ass.
Heydar finds his phone in Walid's pants pocket. Busted. Salim accuses Walid of spying on them: "You're worse than they are!" He does try to stop Heydar when the younger man starts swinging, but it's not long before Walid is at the center of an angry, yelling scrum of people beating and kicking him while he lies on the ground, helpless. Remember when I said I don't want to visit the 24 set? This is why.
Agent Blond catches up to Sandra at the gate and orders the guard to let them in. This time the guard complies.
Inside the yard, about three or four soldiers are trying to clear a space around Walid from about forty angry prisoners. That's not a good ratio. The area isn't even remotely secure before Sandra runs right into the middle of the circle and kneels next to her boyfriend. Agent Blond calls for medical assistance on his walkie-talkie. Bloodier than before, Walid tells Sandra that he's all right. It's 11:47:05.
