Key Moments:

  • Kayla is trying to escape through the bathroom window but it is locked. Tarin receives a call from Samir telling him that he may have been exposed.
  • Jack and Cole are still on the road. Jack calls the NYPD on the scene at the hotel and tells him to hold the perimeter. The lead cop seems prone to violence.
  • Kayla is still stalling Tarin but this ends when he spots cops moving through the streets. He kicks in the bathroom door and drags her out.
  • Jack sees Tarin is on the move and tells the cops to stand down but his order is ignored. Tarin shoots all the cops in his way and uses a radio to call in a fake report. Jack figures it out and tells the cops to cover all exits. Tarin is caught in the alley but a cab pulls up and a thug hops out and shoots the 2 cops in the alley. They lose track of the cab when it reaches an underpass. Jack and Cole race to the underpass and find the cab on the side of the road. Jack tells Cole that they are gone and decides to head back to the UN since Hassan will be contacted next.
  • Samir calls Ahman and tells him that they will get the rods to him soon.
  • Prady has arrived at CTU.
  • Dalia is pissed at CTU for not saving her daughter but Hassan shuts her up by saying that it is their people doing this. Jack and Cole arrive and get to work.
  • Tarin is dragging Kayla to Samir’s underground lair. He tells her to do what he says and she won’t be hurt. Kayla is put in a chair with the fake flag behind her and a camera in front of her.
  • Samir calls Dalia’s cell. Hassan takes the call and the trace is on. Samir wants File 33 in exchange for his daughter. Hassan demands to speak to his daughter and Samir gives him an ip address. He drops the phone, puts on a mask, and puts a plastic bag over Kayla’s head on camera. Hassan stops denying knowledge of the file and says he will do what he can. After the call, Hastings wants to know what this file is but Hassan stalls. Eventually he turns to Nabeel and tells him to show them the file. The file is all the weaknesses of American defenses. Jack and Hastings are horrified but Hassan says they were enemies for 20 years. Jack tells him that they can’t allow Hassan to send this file to terrorists. Dalia gets pissed but Jack takes no shit and tells her that you brought your problems to our country. Arlo gets a location from the trace and Jack and Cole are on the move. Jack tells Hassan to stall and send a fake file to buy time.
  • Kayla begs for answers but Tarin won’t even speak to her. Samir questions Tarin’s loyalty to their cause. They finally bring up the fact that Tarin was in Hassan’s limo that was supposed to be blown up and Tarin tells Samir that was and is willing to die for their cause.
  • Dalia tells Hassan that his skill is convincing people through his words so use that skill on the kidnappers to buy time.
  • Kayla tells Tarin that she doesn’t want to die. She keeps pleading and Tarin has a change of heart and decides to run. Samir yells at his men to chase after them. Tarin gets her out of the builing and into a car. Samir shoots Tarin and Kayla drives off terrified.
  • Hastings gets a call from Kayla. Jack gets a on the call and asks her where she was held. She tells him that it was an abandoned bank vault. Chloe locates it and sends it to Jack. Dana starts reeling Kayla into CTU.
  • Jack and Cole arrive and sweep the bank vault. They find Samir’s abandoned equipment. Jack and Cole delve deeper into the vault, while Arlo finds Samir and friends with the drone. Jack and Cole get back to the vehicles at the same time Samir and friends start driving off. Chloe finds an image of Tarin getting into a vehicle and everyone is confused. Samir tells Tarin that Kayla will die for a good cause. Chloe updates Jack and he tells Hastings to not let Kayla into CTU. Hastings screams “security” and races to the batcave entrance. When Kayla pulls up, Hastings finds the EMP bomb in the car. One of the agents tries to back up the car but he doesn’t get far when it blows. CTU goes dark in a scene from a horror movie. Jack tells Cole that they need to contact the NSA because CTU was just taken out.

Ridiculousness:

  • The quick edit style to show the EMTs destruction should qualify but it actually worked in its limited use. It just felt completely out of place on 24.
