Episode 12 - 12:00 - 1:00 a.m.
 
As Nina takes delivery of the virus from Amador, the CTU moves into 
 place to intercept it; Sherry fails in her first attempt to blackmail 
 Milliken; and Kim learns that ChloeÃs baby isnÃt really hers.
 
At the CTU Adam chafes when he learns Tony has brought in a master 
 computer expert, Dalton Furelle, to assist JackÃs operation. In 
Mexico 
 Ramon orders Pablo to take Hector (whoÃs dying after being shot by 
 Ramon) to a hospital, but Jack convinces Ramon that Hector will never 
 make it, and Ramon finally shoots and kills Hector to put him out of 
 his misery. Nina tries once again to warn Ramon that Jack is still 
 working for the CTU, but Jack reminds Ramon of all heÃs done to help 
 Ramon and his brother, so Ramon agrees to go ahead and they head for 
 the meeting with Michael Amador. Back at the CTU Adam sees Kim 
sitting 
 with baby Amber, and asks Kim who she belongs to. Kim says the baby 
is 
 ChloeÃs, but Adam says he did a background check on Chloe and knows 
 she has no children. Chloe sees Kim talking to Adam and calls Kim on 
 thephone to see whatÃs going on. Kim asks who the baby really belongs 
 to, but Chloe refuses to say.
 Back in Mexico Chas! e takes a position above the old mine where 
Jack, 
 Ramon, and Nina will meet Amador. As their caravan arrives and they 
 get out of their vehicles, Nina tells Ramon she can prove Jack is 
 aiding the CTU, saying that if he is, they will have posted a sentry 
 on either some high ground ahead of them or at the tree-line to the 
 west. So Ramon orders Pablo and Phillippe to check it out. Meanwhile 
 Palmer tells Sherry he has told their daughter, Nicole, that Sherry 
 would like to speak with her, and Sherry heads off to a meeting with 
 her first source in her battle against Milliken, telling Palmer she 
 would do this even if he werenÃt helping her mend fences with Nicole. 
 Back at the mine Phillippe radios Ramon, saying he hasnÃt found any 
 CTU sentries. Then Pablo checks in, also saying he sees no one. As he 
 clicks off, however, we see Chase holding a knife to PabloÃs neck. 
The 
 call satisfies Ramon, who warns Nina that if she tries to get away at 
 any time during the meeting with Amador, several snipe! rs will be 
 waiting to kill her.
 
At the CTU Kim finally gets a chance to ask Chloe face-to-face about 
 the baby, and Chloe says Amber belongs to her boyfriend Eric, whoÃs 
 hiding the child from his ex-wifeÃs abusive boyfriend. Kim asks why 
 they havenÃt notified Child Protective Services, and Chloe says Eric 
 did, just this morning. A moment later, though, Kim asks Dalton to 
 check the Child Protective Services database, and they find no record 
 of EricÃs complaint, nor of any complaint in AmberÃs name. Finally, 
at 
 the mine, Nina warns Jack that if anything goes wrong during the deal 
 with Amador, Ramon will kill Jack, too, but then Ramon tells his 
 assistant Luis that if anything goes awry, kill Nina first.
 
Sherry arrives at a low-rent trailer park, where she visits a scruffy 
 man named Kevin Kelly. Sherry confirms that Kelly knows Alan Milliken 
 was the drunk driver in a hit-and-run accident that killed KellyÃs 
 daughter 12 years ago, and that he took a multi-million-dollar payoff 
 to keep quiet. Sherry offers to help Kelly get back at Milliken, but 
 Kelly asks for a favor in return: a full presidential pardon for his 
 son Patrick, whoÃs serving a life sentence for murder. Back at the 
CTU 
 Kim tells Tony that Amber is not ChloeÃs baby, and that she suspects 
 Chloe is mentally unstable. Tony, however, insists they need ChloeÃs 
 technical expertise to get through this mission, and refuses to 
 address the baby issue until after itÃs complete. Meanwhile Sherry 
 calls Palmer to ask about the pardon for Patrick Kelly. Wayne advises 
 him not to get involved, but Palmer says he hasnÃt decided what he 
 should do. Back at the trailer park Sherry returns to KellyÃs 
trailer, 
 but finds! it stripped of its furnishings. Scared, she rushes back to 
 her car as another set of headlights approaches. It turns out to be 
 just a couple of elderly residents, and Sherry drives away as quickly 
 as she can. Finally, in Mexico, Chase transmits an audio signal to 
the 
 CTU as Amador and his driver arrive at the mine. Then, while Jack 
 watches from nearby, Amador greets Nina and shows her a briefcase 
 containing a metal cylinder holding the virus.
 
Amador removes the virus vial from the cylinder and Nina analyzes it 
 with a high-tech spectrascope. As Chase watches through binoculars 
and 
 narrates to the crew at the CTU, Nina confirms the virus is real, and 
 Tony orders the CTU Delta teams to move in. Chase says the teams are 
 about a minute and a half away, and orders one team to go after 
 Amador, whoÃs leaving the mine after concluding his transaction with 
 Nina. After Amador is safely away, Ramon and Jack intercept Nina. 
Then 
 Ramon takes the virus case and orders Jack and Nina to their knees at 
 gunpoint. Then, as Jack tries to stall for time, Chase shoots Ramon 
in 
 the shoulder and Jack grabs his gun. RamonÃs men move in, but Chase 
 and Jack pick them off one by one. Still, though, Ramon gets away and 
 runs off into the woods, and as the Delta team helicopters finally 
 arrive, Chase orders them to go after Ramon.
 
From her car, Sherry calls MillikenÃs wife Julia, and says she knows 
 Julia would like to divorce Milliken, but isnÃt willing to lose 
 everything to do so. When Julia confirms this, Sherry says she knows 
a 
 way Julia could win her freedom without losing her financial 
security, 
 so Julia agrees to meet Sherry in 45 minutes. Back in the woods Jack 
 finds Ramon pinned by the spotlight of a Delta team chopper. Jack 
 orders the team to hold their fire, and tries to talk Ramon into 
 giving up. Ramon says heÃd rather make sure theyÃll all die. Then he 
 unscrews the top of the virus vialÖ but instead of the virus inside, 
 he sees too late that it contains a plastic explosive which goes off 
 in his face, killing him. After recovering from the explosion, Jack 
 and Chase realize Amador must have switched the real virus vial for a 
 booby-trapped one when he concluded the deal with Nina. Then Chloe 
 reports, via radio, that the other Delta team has cornered Amador. As 
 that team moves! in, however, AmadorÃs own men appear and mow down 
the 
 Delta team. Then, as the CTU agents react, Amador smashes his cell 
 phone so he canÃt be tracked further, and drives off, tucking the 
real 
 virus vial back into its padded metal case.
 Episode 13 - 1:00 - 2:00 a.m.
 
As Jack flies Nina back to Los Angeles, she unleashes a computer 
virus 
 she planted at the CTU; and Sherry confronts Milliken about his 
 involvement in the hit-and-run murder.
 
As the CTU staff learns Amador has ambushed and killed their Delta 
 team, Chase and Jack split up in the woods to chase Nina. As Chase 
 follows a light, however, Nina steps up behind him, holds a gun to 
his 
 back, and forces him to radio Jack, saying everythingÃs OK. Then, as 
 Nina starts to march Chase off, Jack steps out and punches Nina, then 
 asks Chase to leave him alone with her. Jack intends to kill Nina, 
but 
 she convinces him to let her live, saying she knows Amador is headed 
 for Los Angeles, and knows his contact there. AfterJack calls Tony to 
 say heÃs bringing Nina back, Tony confronts Chloe about the baby 
sheÃs 
 watching. Once again she refuses to say whose baby it is, and says he 
 can call the police if he wants to. Meanwhile Palmer gets a call from 
 Sherry, who reports that someone got to Kevin Kelly before she could 
 convince him to speak up about MillikenÃs involvement in the 
 12-year-old hit-and-run murder of KellyÃs daughter. Sherry says sheÃs 
 on her ! way to talk to Julia Milliken, and Palmer warns her not to 
 confront Milliken himself, which Sherry promises not to do. A few 
 minutes later Jack, Nina, and Chase board a CTU plane for Los 
AngelesÖ 
 while Amador, on his own private jet, calls his L.A. contact, Marcus 
 Alvers, to say heÃll be there in an hour with the virus.
 
About the same time, Sherry calls Julia Milliken, who gives her 
 instructions for getting through the security gate at the Milliken 
 estate. Then Julia goes to MillikenÃs bedroom and tucks him in, 
saying 
 sheÃs going downstairs to make some tea. Back on the CTU plane Nina 
 tells Jack that AmadorÃs L.A. contact is named ìAlvers,î so Jack 
 relays this to Tony, who assigns his staff to investigate. After the 
 call Jack tries to mend fences with Chase, whoÃs still cool toward 
him 
 but finally does agree that their real goal is to press Nina and find 
 Amador and the virus. A few minutes later, at the CTU, Dalton and 
Adam 
 pinpoint Marcus Alversà full name and history, and set to work 
 tracking him down. Tony radios Jack, who tells Nina what theyÃve 
 learned. To JackÃs surprise, Nina provides more details about Alvers, 
 revealing that she knew the basics already but just wanted to see how 
 fast the CTU could dig up the information. Finally Nina gives Jack a 
 phone number to rea! ch Alvers, but when Jack dials it and punches in 
 a string of numbers she provides, the line goes dead and Nina smiles: 
 the CTU computer systems start to crash, and Nina tells Jack that the 
 call he just made triggered a worm she planted long ago at the CTU, 
 which will gradually jam its entire network.
 
As the CTU staff rushes to fight the worm, Jack calls Tony to report 
 what Nina has done. Jack tells Tony to put Chloe on the problem, but 
 Tony says he canÃt because the LAPD has just arrived to arrest her. 
 Chase learns Nina has a code that can cancel the virus, but she 
 refuses to provide it unless they turn the plane around and let her 
go 
 in Mexico. Jack refuses, saying the CTU staff might be able to stop 
 the virus on their own. Back at the CTU Chappelle gives Chloe one 
more 
 chance to tell him who the baby belongs to, but Tony intervenes and 
 puts Chloe back to work fighting the computer virus. Meanwhile Sherry 
 arrives at the Milliken estate, tells Julia about MillikenÃs 
 involvement in the hit-and-run murder, and promises that if Julia 
 helps her send Milliken to prison, Julia will get all his money. 
 Sherry asks Julia to find out all the phone calls Milliken made from 
 his cell phone in the last three hours, but Julia says the phone is 
 with Milliken in his bedr! oom. Julia says sheÃs afraid to try to get 
 itÖ but Sherry says sheÃs not, and a few moments later she tiptoes 
 into MillikenÃs room. He seems to be asleep, but as she picks up the 
 phone and leaves, he stirs.
 
A bit later, after Sherry calls a technical contact to report the 
 numbers Alan has called recently, she starts to leave, but then 
 Milliken appears and accuses Julia of stealing his phone. Sherry 
 admits that she did it and boldly asks him what happened to Kevin 
 Kelly (the man who disappeared from the trailer park a bit earlierÖ 
 and who can incriminate Milliken in the murder of KellyÃs daughter). 
 Milliken doesnÃt answer her, so Sherry starts to leave, but Milliken 
 asks her to stay and sit down. Back on the plane Jack calls Tony 
again 
 and learns the computer worm is just three minutes from shutting down 
 the entire CTU system. Jack tells Nina sheÃll have to tell him now 
how 
 to stop it, or it will be too late and sheÃll have no more leverage. 
 He puts her on the phone with Chloe, but instead of stopping the 
worm, 
 Nina gives Chloe a code that slows it down, which buys them another 
20 
 minutes to negotiate. Then Nina demands again to be returned to 
Mexico 
 and freedÖ ! but again, Jack refuses.
 
Later, as the plane begins its approach into L.A., Jack insists Nina 
 give him the kill code for the virus. She refuses, and suddenly the 
 plane reverses its descent and begins to turn around. Jack asks 
whatÃs 
 going on, and the pilot reports Tony ordered him to give in to NinaÃs 
 demands so sheÃll provide the kill code. Jack pulls a gun on the 
pilot 
 and orders him to land anyway, then calls Tony. As they argue, Chloe 
 and Dalton finally get the virus under control, and within moments 
 they regain control of the CTU computers. Jack reports this to Nina 
 and the plane finally comes in for its landing. Back at the CTU 
 Chappelle again confronts Chloe while Child Protective Services 
 workers take the baby into custody. Finally Chloe tells both 
Chappelle 
 and Kim that the baby is ChaseÃs. Meanwhile, at the Milliken estate, 
 Sherry gets into a heated argument with Milliken, who suddenly starts 
 to wheeze and clutch at his chest. He asks Julia to fetch his pills, 
 but Sherry s! tops her, indicating that they should just let Milliken 
 die.
 Episode 14 -2:00 - 3:00 a.m.
 
Jack returns Nina to the CTU, where Tony questions her; Jack is 
 questioned by Internal Affairs; Kim confronts Chase about the baby; 
 and Sherry tries to cover up her involvement after MillikenÃs death 
is 
 discovered.
 
After Milliken dies, Sherry convinces Julia to go to bed and 
 ìdiscoverî the body later, telling no one that they were present when 
 he was stricken. Meanwhile, after the CTU plane lands, Jack ushers 
 Nina off while Chase gets a call from Chloe, alerting him that she 
has 
 told Tony the baby is ChaseÃs. Meanwhile Michael Amador meets his 
 contact, Marcus Alvers, in the back room of a seedy restaurant, where 
 Alvers removes the virus from its canister and begins dividing it 
 among 12 small vials. A few minutes later, at the CTU, security 
 officers whisk Nina away for questioning while Chappelle orders Jack 
 to the medical department to have his drug withdrawal symptoms 
 checked. Then, as Nina is walked through the building, Kim sees her. 
 Kim stops Nina and her guards, then punches Nina in the face. Then 
 Jack enters, sees Kim crying, and sweeps her into a hug before Kim 
can 
 do anything else.
 
After Kim calms down, Jack tells her heÃs going to get his drug 
 problem evaluated, and Kim watches Chase enter. Meanwhile Sherry 
 arrives at PalmerÃs office and tells him that she did finally take 
his 
 advice, and instead of going to the Milliken estate, pulled her car 
 off the road, made some phone calls, and then just came back to the 
 office. At the CTU Chase goes with Jack to the clinic, admits to Jack 
 that he has a baby daughter, and promises ó at JackÃs insistence ó to 
 explain everything to Kim right away. About the same time, Kim 
 apologizes to Tony for losing her cool and punching Nina, but Tony 
 assures her that if she hadnÃt done it, he might have. After Tony 
 leaves, Chase joins Kim and explains that he didnÃt know his previous 
 relationship had produced a child until the mother dropped her off a 
 few weeks ago, saying she could no longer care for the baby. He says 
 Chloe has been helping him keep the secret because theyÃre old 
 friends. Meanwhile Michelle a! nd Dalton set up recording equipment 
in 
 an observation room while Tony goes into the interrogation room next 
 door and begins questioning Nina about Marcus Alvers. Nina tries to 
 distract Tony with references to their past relationship, but he does 
 manage to learn that Nina and Alvers had an intimate relationship.
 
At the Milliken estate a housekeeper finally finds MillikenÃs body 
and 
 summons Julia, who doesnÃt let on that she already knew Milliken was 
 dead. At the CTU Jack heads for the interrogation room, but Chappelle 
 stops him and orders him to talk first with Mike Lafabe, an Internal 
 Affairs agent. In the interrogation room Nina points out that TonyÃs 
 neck wound is starting to bleed, and when he goes out to the hall so 
 Michelle can tend to it, he tells her to bring in their new torture 
 expert, Peter Johnson. At the same time, Kim asks Chase for more 
 details about his relationship with the babyÃs mother, while he 
 finally retrieves the child from another agent, Marcy, whoÃs been 
 watching her. Then, finally, Johnson joins Tony and Nina in the 
 interrogation room and readies his instruments.
 
Back at the restaurant Alvers calls another contact and promises, in 
 Russian, to meet him soon... and Amador agrees, as long as theyÃll 
 have time to leave the country before the virus is released. At the 
 CTU Jack explains to Lafabe that he started using heroin before he 
 re-established contact with the Salazars so he could be a believable 
 junkie by the time he met up with them. Lafabe doesnÃt believe it, 
but 
 Chappelle supports Jack and Jack insists he has nothing to hide. 
 Meanwhile, at PalmerÃs office, Wayne learns from a newscast that 
 Milliken is dead, and asks Palmer where Sherry was when the death 
 occurred. Palmer assures him Sherry didnÃt go to the Milliken estate, 
 but then confronts Sherry and demands the truth. At first Sherry 
 denies she was at the estate, but finally tells Palmer that Milliken 
 had a heart attack while arguing with her and Julia. She denies, 
 however, that she did anything to cause it. Back at the CTU Chase 
 tells Jack that Johnson is wor! king on Nina now, but Jack says 
thatÃs 
 not a good idea because he doesnÃt know her well enough, and she 
could 
 take advantage of him. Meanwhile, in the
 interrogation room, as Johnson presses a blade to NinaÃs neck and 
Tony 
 asks how much more she can take, she jerks her neck back, forcing 
 JohnsonÃs blade into an artery in her neck. As she starts to bleed 
 profusely, Tony calls for help, then unlatches her from her chair.
 
At his office Palmer tells Wayne that Sherry was at the Milliken 
 estate when Milliken died, but claims she didnÃt have anything to do 
 with the death. Wayne is skeptical, however, and calls Julia, who 
 finally breaks down and says Sherry prevented her from giving 
Milliken 
 medicine that could have saved him. Meanwhile, at the CTU clinic, a 
 doctor prepares to operate on Nina and orders a medic to start an 
 anesthesia drip. The medic does, but doesnÃt see Nina pinch the tube 
 to prevent the drug from entering her veins. At the same time Tony 
 reports NinaÃs actions to Jack, and before he has time to react, an 
 alarm rings out, alerting them that Nina has escaped. Chappelle 
orders 
 the building locked down, and as everyone runs off to look for Nina, 
 Kim sees a dead guard in a corridor, pulls out her gun, and comes 
face 
 to face with Nina, who also draws a gun on Kim. For a moment thereÃs 
a 
 tense standoff, but then Jack appears, shoots Nina in the head, and 
 grabs Kim in a protective embrace.
Episode 15  3:00 A.M. - 4:00 A.M.
  
 
Jack finally catches Michael Amador, but only after Marcus Alvers has 
 escaped with the virus and prepares to release it at a large hotel; 
 and the police learn Sherry was at the Milliken mansion when Milliken 
 died.
 
In the aftermath of NinaÃs death, Jack tells Chappelle that he shot 
 her in self-defense, but Chappelle says heÃll need to make sure of 
 that. At the seedy nightspot Amador and Alvers welcome their client, 
 Saunders, who says he chose a rather limited first target for the 
 virus because he just wants to send a message. Back at the CTU Tony 
 tells the other agents about NinaÃs death, but says he may have 
 another lead on finding AlversÖ and then displays a photo of a 
 bio-warfare detonator which heÃs just learned was stolen three weeks 
 ago in the Ukraine, and which he says Amador and Alvers may be 
 attaching to vials of the virus. At the nightclub Alvers demonstrates 
 the detonatorÃs trigger mechanism for Saunders, who approves. 
Saunders 
 also scolds Amador for being duped by Jack in Mexico. Amador says he 
 still got his job done, though, and reminds Saunders that he and 
 Alvers havenÃt been paid yet. Saunders gives him an authorization 
code 
 for a Swiss bank account, but! when Amador checks the account on his 
 computer, he finds only half the promised balance. Saunders says 
 theyÃll get the rest after Alvers releases the virus at the hotel 
 theyÃve chosen. Meanwhile Chloe, monitoring various data streams, 
sees 
 someone access the Swiss account, which is registered to one of 
 AmadorÃs aliases. Tony orders Kim to trace the computer accessing the 
 account, and Adam says they can find AmadorÃs location in less than 
 ten minutes. At the same time Jack tells Chappelle how he came to 
 shoot Nina, but because Jack blocked security cameras during the 
 shooting, Chappelle doubts that it was entirely self-defense. Before 
 they can argue, however, Chase tells them about the lead on AmadorÃs 
 location, and Chappelle finally agrees to let Jack go there with 
Chase 
 and a SWAT team.
 
At PalmerÃs district offices, Wayne confronts Sherry and tells her 
 that Julia told him how she withheld medication from Milliken as he 
 was dying. Sherry insists she was just cleaning up the problem like 
 Palmer wanted her to. Wayne says sheÃs insane and Palmer will have to 
 know the truth, but Sherry says they canÃt tell him, and Wayne 
 realizes sheÃs right. Meanwhile a detective, Mike Norris, questions 
 Julia about MillikenÃs death. Julia is surprised when Norris tells 
her 
 that the housekeeper saw a Mercedes driving away from the house just 
 before she found MillikenÃs body, but Julia says she doesnÃt know 
 whose car it might have been. Norris also tells Julia that the 
houseÃs 
 security cameras were shut down about an hour before MillikenÃs 
death, 
 but again Julia says she doesnÃt know how that came to be. Back at 
the 
 CTU Kim forwards a grid showing AmadorÃs location to Jack and Chase 
in 
 JackÃs SUV. Meanwhile Alvers arrives at the St. George Hotel, goes 
 into a gues! t room and takes out a folded garment, a tool box, and 
 the vial with the detonating device, which he tests before starting 
to 
 change clothes.
 
At PalmerÃs office Wayne again offers to resign if he has become a 
 liability to PalmerÃs presidency, but Palmer still wonÃt hear of it, 
 saying he trusts Wayne more than he could anyone else. At the same 
 time, Jack and Chase arrive in Chinatown and take command of a SWAT 
 team getting into position outside the seedy nightclub. Inside, 
 however, Amador sees the men on a security screenÖ just as Jack, 
 outside, notices a motion detector and realizes that Amador knows 
 theyÃre there. A moment later Amador races out of the building, 
 shooting at the SWAT team, and darts across the alley. Jack chases 
and 
 corners him, and they scuffle, but Jack finally pins Amador. As Chase 
 calls in the capture, however, Amador says theyÃre too late to 
prevent 
 the virus from getting out, and Jack and Chase drag him back inside 
 for questioning.
 
A few minutes later Jack readies a hot frying pan inside the 
 nightclub, and asks Amador where the virus is, saying he can protect 
 Amador if he talks. Amador refuses, noting that Jack hasnÃt even been 
 able to protect his own family members lately. Finally Chase presses 
 AmadorÃs hand into the hot frying pan, but Amador just passes out. 
 Jack calls Tony and tells him theyÃve got Amador, but the virus has 
 already been passed on. Just then, however, Chloe, whoÃs been 
 searching AmadorÃs computer, finds schematic drawings of the St. 
 George Hotel. Jack says the hotel may be Alversà target, and Tony 
 dispatches a team there. Tony also calls Craig Phillips, head of 
 security at the St. George, and orders him to lock down the building 
 immediately and start keeping an eye out for Alvers. After the call 
 Tony prepares to head for the hotel with the rest of the CTU team, 
but 
 Michelle sees that heÃs still weak from his earlier wound, and talks 
 him into staying behind while she! goes instead. Finally, at the 
 hotel, Alvers, now dressed in a maintenance uniform, leaves his room 
 and heads out into a corridor.
 
A bit later, at PalmerÃs office, Sherry gets a call from Detective 
 Norris, who says Julia Milliken says Sherry was with her when 
Milliken 
 died. Sherry denies this, and says Palmer will confirm sheÃs been at 
 his office all evening. At the hotel Phillips sees a maintenance man 
 (Alvers) he doesnÃt recognize, and asks his assistant to check him 
 out. Then one of the CTU agents, stationed outside, shows Michelle a 
 photo of Alvers entering the hotel, which was taken by the hotel 
 security cameras. Michelle realizes itÃs too dangerous to order 
anyone 
 from her team to go inside, so she decides to go herself, As she 
heads 
 for the door, Gael and three other agents decide to brave the 
premises 
 too. A few moments later, inside, Phillips tells Michelle that he may 
 know where Alvers is. Meanwhile, in the hotelÃs ventilation room, 
 Alvers places the virus vial under the systemÃs main fan, sets a 
 timer, and leaves. As heÃs passing through a utility room, however, 
 Michelle conf! ronts him and manages to cuff him to a pipe. Then she 
 asks where the virus is, noting that if he doesnÃt tell her, heÃll 
die 
 along with everyone else. Finally he says itÃs in the central heating 
 unit, and after she radios this to Gael, he races to the ventilation 
 room and finds the vial near the fan. Just as he reaches for it, the 
 timer ticks down, thereÃs a small explosion, and a fine white powder 
 is blown all over GaelÃs face and up into the fan, where it starts to 
 spread throughout the hotel.

Episode 12 - 12:00 - 1:00 a.m.
 
As Nina takes delivery of the virus from Amador, the CTU moves into 
 place to intercept it; Sherry fails in her first attempt to blackmail 
 Milliken; and Kim learns that ChloeÃs baby isnÃt really hers.
 
At the CTU Adam chafes when he learns Tony has brought in a master 
 computer expert, Dalton Furelle, to assist JackÃs operation. In 
Mexico 
 Ramon orders Pablo to take Hector (whoÃs dying after being shot by 
 Ramon) to a hospital, but Jack convinces Ramon that Hector will never 
 make it, and Ramon finally shoots and kills Hector to put him out of 
 his misery. Nina tries once again to warn Ramon that Jack is still 
 working for the CTU, but Jack reminds Ramon of all heÃs done to help 
 Ramon and his brother, so Ramon agrees to go ahead and they head for 
 the meeting with Michael Amador. Back at the CTU Adam sees Kim 
sitting 
 with baby Amber, and asks Kim who she belongs to. Kim says the baby 
is 
 ChloeÃs, but Adam says he did a background check on Chloe and knows 
 she has no children. Chloe sees Kim talking to Adam and calls Kim on 
 thephone to see whatÃs going on. Kim asks who the baby really belongs 
 to, but Chloe refuses to say.
 Back in Mexico Chas! e takes a position above the old mine where 
Jack, 
 Ramon, and Nina will meet Amador. As their caravan arrives and they 
 get out of their vehicles, Nina tells Ramon she can prove Jack is 
 aiding the CTU, saying that if he is, they will have posted a sentry 
 on either some high ground ahead of them or at the tree-line to the 
 west. So Ramon orders Pablo and Phillippe to check it out. Meanwhile 
 Palmer tells Sherry he has told their daughter, Nicole, that Sherry 
 would like to speak with her, and Sherry heads off to a meeting with 
 her first source in her battle against Milliken, telling Palmer she 
 would do this even if he werenÃt helping her mend fences with Nicole. 
 Back at the mine Phillippe radios Ramon, saying he hasnÃt found any 
 CTU sentries. Then Pablo checks in, also saying he sees no one. As he 
 clicks off, however, we see Chase holding a knife to PabloÃs neck. 
The 
 call satisfies Ramon, who warns Nina that if she tries to get away at 
 any time during the meeting with Amador, several snipe! rs will be 
 waiting to kill her.
 
At the CTU Kim finally gets a chance to ask Chloe face-to-face about 
 the baby, and Chloe says Amber belongs to her boyfriend Eric, whoÃs 
 hiding the child from his ex-wifeÃs abusive boyfriend. Kim asks why 
 they havenÃt notified Child Protective Services, and Chloe says Eric 
 did, just this morning. A moment later, though, Kim asks Dalton to 
 check the Child Protective Services database, and they find no record 
 of EricÃs complaint, nor of any complaint in AmberÃs name. Finally, 
at 
 the mine, Nina warns Jack that if anything goes wrong during the deal 
 with Amador, Ramon will kill Jack, too, but then Ramon tells his 
 assistant Luis that if anything goes awry, kill Nina first.
 
Sherry arrives at a low-rent trailer park, where she visits a scruffy 
 man named Kevin Kelly. Sherry confirms that Kelly knows Alan Milliken 
 was the drunk driver in a hit-and-run accident that killed KellyÃs 
 daughter 12 years ago, and that he took a multi-million-dollar payoff 
 to keep quiet. Sherry offers to help Kelly get back at Milliken, but 
 Kelly asks for a favor in return: a full presidential pardon for his 
 son Patrick, whoÃs serving a life sentence for murder. Back at the 
CTU 
 Kim tells Tony that Amber is not ChloeÃs baby, and that she suspects 
 Chloe is mentally unstable. Tony, however, insists they need ChloeÃs 
 technical expertise to get through this mission, and refuses to 
 address the baby issue until after itÃs complete. Meanwhile Sherry 
 calls Palmer to ask about the pardon for Patrick Kelly. Wayne advises 
 him not to get involved, but Palmer says he hasnÃt decided what he 
 should do. Back at the trailer park Sherry returns to KellyÃs 
trailer, 
 but finds! it stripped of its furnishings. Scared, she rushes back to 
 her car as another set of headlights approaches. It turns out to be 
 just a couple of elderly residents, and Sherry drives away as quickly 
 as she can. Finally, in Mexico, Chase transmits an audio signal to 
the 
 CTU as Amador and his driver arrive at the mine. Then, while Jack 
 watches from nearby, Amador greets Nina and shows her a briefcase 
 containing a metal cylinder holding the virus.
 
Amador removes the virus vial from the cylinder and Nina analyzes it 
 with a high-tech spectrascope. As Chase watches through binoculars 
and 
 narrates to the crew at the CTU, Nina confirms the virus is real, and 
 Tony orders the CTU Delta teams to move in. Chase says the teams are 
 about a minute and a half away, and orders one team to go after 
 Amador, whoÃs leaving the mine after concluding his transaction with 
 Nina. After Amador is safely away, Ramon and Jack intercept Nina. 
Then 
 Ramon takes the virus case and orders Jack and Nina to their knees at 
 gunpoint. Then, as Jack tries to stall for time, Chase shoots Ramon 
in 
 the shoulder and Jack grabs his gun. RamonÃs men move in, but Chase 
 and Jack pick them off one by one. Still, though, Ramon gets away and 
 runs off into the woods, and as the Delta team helicopters finally 
 arrive, Chase orders them to go after Ramon.
 
From her car, Sherry calls MillikenÃs wife Julia, and says she knows 
 Julia would like to divorce Milliken, but isnÃt willing to lose 
 everything to do so. When Julia confirms this, Sherry says she knows 
a 
 way Julia could win her freedom without losing her financial 
security, 
 so Julia agrees to meet Sherry in 45 minutes. Back in the woods Jack 
 finds Ramon pinned by the spotlight of a Delta team chopper. Jack 
 orders the team to hold their fire, and tries to talk Ramon into 
 giving up. Ramon says heÃd rather make sure theyÃll all die. Then he 
 unscrews the top of the virus vialÖ but instead of the virus inside, 
 he sees too late that it contains a plastic explosive which goes off 
 in his face, killing him. After recovering from the explosion, Jack 
 and Chase realize Amador must have switched the real virus vial for a 
 booby-trapped one when he concluded the deal with Nina. Then Chloe 
 reports, via radio, that the other Delta team has cornered Amador. As 
 that team moves! in, however, AmadorÃs own men appear and mow down 
the 
 Delta team. Then, as the CTU agents react, Amador smashes his cell 
 phone so he canÃt be tracked further, and drives off, tucking the 
real 
 virus vial back into its padded metal case.
 Episode 13 - 1:00 - 2:00 a.m.
 
As Jack flies Nina back to Los Angeles, she unleashes a computer 
virus 
 she planted at the CTU; and Sherry confronts Milliken about his 
 involvement in the hit-and-run murder.
 
As the CTU staff learns Amador has ambushed and killed their Delta 
 team, Chase and Jack split up in the woods to chase Nina. As Chase 
 follows a light, however, Nina steps up behind him, holds a gun to 
his 
 back, and forces him to radio Jack, saying everythingÃs OK. Then, as 
 Nina starts to march Chase off, Jack steps out and punches Nina, then 
 asks Chase to leave him alone with her. Jack intends to kill Nina, 
but 
 she convinces him to let her live, saying she knows Amador is headed 
 for Los Angeles, and knows his contact there. AfterJack calls Tony to 
 say heÃs bringing Nina back, Tony confronts Chloe about the baby 
sheÃs 
 watching. Once again she refuses to say whose baby it is, and says he 
 can call the police if he wants to. Meanwhile Palmer gets a call from 
 Sherry, who reports that someone got to Kevin Kelly before she could 
 convince him to speak up about MillikenÃs involvement in the 
 12-year-old hit-and-run murder of KellyÃs daughter. Sherry says sheÃs 
 on her ! way to talk to Julia Milliken, and Palmer warns her not to 
 confront Milliken himself, which Sherry promises not to do. A few 
 minutes later Jack, Nina, and Chase board a CTU plane for Los 
AngelesÖ 
 while Amador, on his own private jet, calls his L.A. contact, Marcus 
 Alvers, to say heÃll be there in an hour with the virus.
 
About the same time, Sherry calls Julia Milliken, who gives her 
 instructions for getting through the security gate at the Milliken 
 estate. Then Julia goes to MillikenÃs bedroom and tucks him in, 
saying 
 sheÃs going downstairs to make some tea. Back on the CTU plane Nina 
 tells Jack that AmadorÃs L.A. contact is named ìAlvers,î so Jack 
 relays this to Tony, who assigns his staff to investigate. After the 
 call Jack tries to mend fences with Chase, whoÃs still cool toward 
him 
 but finally does agree that their real goal is to press Nina and find 
 Amador and the virus. A few minutes later, at the CTU, Dalton and 
Adam 
 pinpoint Marcus Alversà full name and history, and set to work 
 tracking him down. Tony radios Jack, who tells Nina what theyÃve 
 learned. To JackÃs surprise, Nina provides more details about Alvers, 
 revealing that she knew the basics already but just wanted to see how 
 fast the CTU could dig up the information. Finally Nina gives Jack a 
 phone number to rea! ch Alvers, but when Jack dials it and punches in 
 a string of numbers she provides, the line goes dead and Nina smiles: 
 the CTU computer systems start to crash, and Nina tells Jack that the 
 call he just made triggered a worm she planted long ago at the CTU, 
 which will gradually jam its entire network.
 
As the CTU staff rushes to fight the worm, Jack calls Tony to report 
 what Nina has done. Jack tells Tony to put Chloe on the problem, but 
 Tony says he canÃt because the LAPD has just arrived to arrest her. 
 Chase learns Nina has a code that can cancel the virus, but she 
 refuses to provide it unless they turn the plane around and let her 
go 
 in Mexico. Jack refuses, saying the CTU staff might be able to stop 
 the virus on their own. Back at the CTU Chappelle gives Chloe one 
more 
 chance to tell him who the baby belongs to, but Tony intervenes and 
 puts Chloe back to work fighting the computer virus. Meanwhile Sherry 
 arrives at the Milliken estate, tells Julia about MillikenÃs 
 involvement in the hit-and-run murder, and promises that if Julia 
 helps her send Milliken to prison, Julia will get all his money. 
 Sherry asks Julia to find out all the phone calls Milliken made from 
 his cell phone in the last three hours, but Julia says the phone is 
 with Milliken in his bedr! oom. Julia says sheÃs afraid to try to get 
 itÖ but Sherry says sheÃs not, and a few moments later she tiptoes 
 into MillikenÃs room. He seems to be asleep, but as she picks up the 
 phone and leaves, he stirs.
 
A bit later, after Sherry calls a technical contact to report the 
 numbers Alan has called recently, she starts to leave, but then 
 Milliken appears and accuses Julia of stealing his phone. Sherry 
 admits that she did it and boldly asks him what happened to Kevin 
 Kelly (the man who disappeared from the trailer park a bit earlierÖ 
 and who can incriminate Milliken in the murder of KellyÃs daughter). 
 Milliken doesnÃt answer her, so Sherry starts to leave, but Milliken 
 asks her to stay and sit down. Back on the plane Jack calls Tony 
again 
 and learns the computer worm is just three minutes from shutting down 
 the entire CTU system. Jack tells Nina sheÃll have to tell him now 
how 
 to stop it, or it will be too late and sheÃll have no more leverage. 
 He puts her on the phone with Chloe, but instead of stopping the 
worm, 
 Nina gives Chloe a code that slows it down, which buys them another 
20 
 minutes to negotiate. Then Nina demands again to be returned to 
Mexico 
 and freedÖ ! but again, Jack refuses.
 
Later, as the plane begins its approach into L.A., Jack insists Nina 
 give him the kill code for the virus. She refuses, and suddenly the 
 plane reverses its descent and begins to turn around. Jack asks 
whatÃs 
 going on, and the pilot reports Tony ordered him to give in to NinaÃs 
 demands so sheÃll provide the kill code. Jack pulls a gun on the 
pilot 
 and orders him to land anyway, then calls Tony. As they argue, Chloe 
 and Dalton finally get the virus under control, and within moments 
 they regain control of the CTU computers. Jack reports this to Nina 
 and the plane finally comes in for its landing. Back at the CTU 
 Chappelle again confronts Chloe while Child Protective Services 
 workers take the baby into custody. Finally Chloe tells both 
Chappelle 
 and Kim that the baby is ChaseÃs. Meanwhile, at the Milliken estate, 
 Sherry gets into a heated argument with Milliken, who suddenly starts 
 to wheeze and clutch at his chest. He asks Julia to fetch his pills, 
 but Sherry s! tops her, indicating that they should just let Milliken 
 die.
 Episode 14 -2:00 - 3:00 a.m.
 
Jack returns Nina to the CTU, where Tony questions her; Jack is 
 questioned by Internal Affairs; Kim confronts Chase about the baby; 
 and Sherry tries to cover up her involvement after MillikenÃs death 
is 
 discovered.
 
After Milliken dies, Sherry convinces Julia to go to bed and 
 ìdiscoverî the body later, telling no one that they were present when 
 he was stricken. Meanwhile, after the CTU plane lands, Jack ushers 
 Nina off while Chase gets a call from Chloe, alerting him that she 
has 
 told Tony the baby is ChaseÃs. Meanwhile Michael Amador meets his 
 contact, Marcus Alvers, in the back room of a seedy restaurant, where 
 Alvers removes the virus from its canister and begins dividing it 
 among 12 small vials. A few minutes later, at the CTU, security 
 officers whisk Nina away for questioning while Chappelle orders Jack 
 to the medical department to have his drug withdrawal symptoms 
 checked. Then, as Nina is walked through the building, Kim sees her. 
 Kim stops Nina and her guards, then punches Nina in the face. Then 
 Jack enters, sees Kim crying, and sweeps her into a hug before Kim 
can 
 do anything else.
 
After Kim calms down, Jack tells her heÃs going to get his drug 
 problem evaluated, and Kim watches Chase enter. Meanwhile Sherry 
 arrives at PalmerÃs office and tells him that she did finally take 
his 
 advice, and instead of going to the Milliken estate, pulled her car 
 off the road, made some phone calls, and then just came back to the 
 office. At the CTU Chase goes with Jack to the clinic, admits to Jack 
 that he has a baby daughter, and promises ó at JackÃs insistence ó to 
 explain everything to Kim right away. About the same time, Kim 
 apologizes to Tony for losing her cool and punching Nina, but Tony 
 assures her that if she hadnÃt done it, he might have. After Tony 
 leaves, Chase joins Kim and explains that he didnÃt know his previous 
 relationship had produced a child until the mother dropped her off a 
 few weeks ago, saying she could no longer care for the baby. He says 
 Chloe has been helping him keep the secret because theyÃre old 
 friends. Meanwhile Michelle a! nd Dalton set up recording equipment 
in 
 an observation room while Tony goes into the interrogation room next 
 door and begins questioning Nina about Marcus Alvers. Nina tries to 
 distract Tony with references to their past relationship, but he does 
 manage to learn that Nina and Alvers had an intimate relationship.
 
At the Milliken estate a housekeeper finally finds MillikenÃs body 
and 
 summons Julia, who doesnÃt let on that she already knew Milliken was 
 dead. At the CTU Jack heads for the interrogation room, but Chappelle 
 stops him and orders him to talk first with Mike Lafabe, an Internal 
 Affairs agent. In the interrogation room Nina points out that TonyÃs 
 neck wound is starting to bleed, and when he goes out to the hall so 
 Michelle can tend to it, he tells her to bring in their new torture 
 expert, Peter Johnson. At the same time, Kim asks Chase for more 
 details about his relationship with the babyÃs mother, while he 
 finally retrieves the child from another agent, Marcy, whoÃs been 
 watching her. Then, finally, Johnson joins Tony and Nina in the 
 interrogation room and readies his instruments.
 
Back at the restaurant Alvers calls another contact and promises, in 
 Russian, to meet him soon... and Amador agrees, as long as theyÃll 
 have time to leave the country before the virus is released. At the 
 CTU Jack explains to Lafabe that he started using heroin before he 
 re-established contact with the Salazars so he could be a believable 
 junkie by the time he met up with them. Lafabe doesnÃt believe it, 
but 
 Chappelle supports Jack and Jack insists he has nothing to hide. 
 Meanwhile, at PalmerÃs office, Wayne learns from a newscast that 
 Milliken is dead, and asks Palmer where Sherry was when the death 
 occurred. Palmer assures him Sherry didnÃt go to the Milliken estate, 
 but then confronts Sherry and demands the truth. At first Sherry 
 denies she was at the estate, but finally tells Palmer that Milliken 
 had a heart attack while arguing with her and Julia. She denies, 
 however, that she did anything to cause it. Back at the CTU Chase 
 tells Jack that Johnson is wor! king on Nina now, but Jack says 
thatÃs 
 not a good idea because he doesnÃt know her well enough, and she 
could 
 take advantage of him. Meanwhile, in the
 interrogation room, as Johnson presses a blade to NinaÃs neck and 
Tony 
 asks how much more she can take, she jerks her neck back, forcing 
 JohnsonÃs blade into an artery in her neck. As she starts to bleed 
 profusely, Tony calls for help, then unlatches her from her chair.
 
At his office Palmer tells Wayne that Sherry was at the Milliken 
 estate when Milliken died, but claims she didnÃt have anything to do 
 with the death. Wayne is skeptical, however, and calls Julia, who 
 finally breaks down and says Sherry prevented her from giving 
Milliken 
 medicine that could have saved him. Meanwhile, at the CTU clinic, a 
 doctor prepares to operate on Nina and orders a medic to start an 
 anesthesia drip. The medic does, but doesnÃt see Nina pinch the tube 
 to prevent the drug from entering her veins. At the same time Tony 
 reports NinaÃs actions to Jack, and before he has time to react, an 
 alarm rings out, alerting them that Nina has escaped. Chappelle 
orders 
 the building locked down, and as everyone runs off to look for Nina, 
 Kim sees a dead guard in a corridor, pulls out her gun, and comes 
face 
 to face with Nina, who also draws a gun on Kim. For a moment thereÃs 
a 
 tense standoff, but then Jack appears, shoots Nina in the head, and 
 grabs Kim in a protective embrace.
Episode 15  3:00 A.M. - 4:00 A.M.
  
 
Jack finally catches Michael Amador, but only after Marcus Alvers has 
 escaped with the virus and prepares to release it at a large hotel; 
 and the police learn Sherry was at the Milliken mansion when Milliken 
 died.
 
In the aftermath of NinaÃs death, Jack tells Chappelle that he shot 
 her in self-defense, but Chappelle says heÃll need to make sure of 
 that. At the seedy nightspot Amador and Alvers welcome their client, 
 Saunders, who says he chose a rather limited first target for the 
 virus because he just wants to send a message. Back at the CTU Tony 
 tells the other agents about NinaÃs death, but says he may have 
 another lead on finding AlversÖ and then displays a photo of a 
 bio-warfare detonator which heÃs just learned was stolen three weeks 
 ago in the Ukraine, and which he says Amador and Alvers may be 
 attaching to vials of the virus. At the nightclub Alvers demonstrates 
 the detonatorÃs trigger mechanism for Saunders, who approves. 
Saunders 
 also scolds Amador for being duped by Jack in Mexico. Amador says he 
 still got his job done, though, and reminds Saunders that he and 
 Alvers havenÃt been paid yet. Saunders gives him an authorization 
code 
 for a Swiss bank account, but! when Amador checks the account on his 
 computer, he finds only half the promised balance. Saunders says 
 theyÃll get the rest after Alvers releases the virus at the hotel 
 theyÃve chosen. Meanwhile Chloe, monitoring various data streams, 
sees 
 someone access the Swiss account, which is registered to one of 
 AmadorÃs aliases. Tony orders Kim to trace the computer accessing the 
 account, and Adam says they can find AmadorÃs location in less than 
 ten minutes. At the same time Jack tells Chappelle how he came to 
 shoot Nina, but because Jack blocked security cameras during the 
 shooting, Chappelle doubts that it was entirely self-defense. Before 
 they can argue, however, Chase tells them about the lead on AmadorÃs 
 location, and Chappelle finally agrees to let Jack go there with 
Chase 
 and a SWAT team.
 
At PalmerÃs district offices, Wayne confronts Sherry and tells her 
 that Julia told him how she withheld medication from Milliken as he 
 was dying. Sherry insists she was just cleaning up the problem like 
 Palmer wanted her to. Wayne says sheÃs insane and Palmer will have to 
 know the truth, but Sherry says they canÃt tell him, and Wayne 
 realizes sheÃs right. Meanwhile a detective, Mike Norris, questions 
 Julia about MillikenÃs death. Julia is surprised when Norris tells 
her 
 that the housekeeper saw a Mercedes driving away from the house just 
 before she found MillikenÃs body, but Julia says she doesnÃt know 
 whose car it might have been. Norris also tells Julia that the 
houseÃs 
 security cameras were shut down about an hour before MillikenÃs 
death, 
 but again Julia says she doesnÃt know how that came to be. Back at 
the 
 CTU Kim forwards a grid showing AmadorÃs location to Jack and Chase 
in 
 JackÃs SUV. Meanwhile Alvers arrives at the St. George Hotel, goes 
 into a gues! t room and takes out a folded garment, a tool box, and 
 the vial with the detonating device, which he tests before starting 
to 
 change clothes.
 
At PalmerÃs office Wayne again offers to resign if he has become a 
 liability to PalmerÃs presidency, but Palmer still wonÃt hear of it, 
 saying he trusts Wayne more than he could anyone else. At the same 
 time, Jack and Chase arrive in Chinatown and take command of a SWAT 
 team getting into position outside the seedy nightclub. Inside, 
 however, Amador sees the men on a security screenÖ just as Jack, 
 outside, notices a motion detector and realizes that Amador knows 
 theyÃre there. A moment later Amador races out of the building, 
 shooting at the SWAT team, and darts across the alley. Jack chases 
and 
 corners him, and they scuffle, but Jack finally pins Amador. As Chase 
 calls in the capture, however, Amador says theyÃre too late to 
prevent 
 the virus from getting out, and Jack and Chase drag him back inside 
 for questioning.
 
A few minutes later Jack readies a hot frying pan inside the 
 nightclub, and asks Amador where the virus is, saying he can protect 
 Amador if he talks. Amador refuses, noting that Jack hasnÃt even been 
 able to protect his own family members lately. Finally Chase presses 
 AmadorÃs hand into the hot frying pan, but Amador just passes out. 
 Jack calls Tony and tells him theyÃve got Amador, but the virus has 
 already been passed on. Just then, however, Chloe, whoÃs been 
 searching AmadorÃs computer, finds schematic drawings of the St. 
 George Hotel. Jack says the hotel may be Alversà target, and Tony 
 dispatches a team there. Tony also calls Craig Phillips, head of 
 security at the St. George, and orders him to lock down the building 
 immediately and start keeping an eye out for Alvers. After the call 
 Tony prepares to head for the hotel with the rest of the CTU team, 
but 
 Michelle sees that heÃs still weak from his earlier wound, and talks 
 him into staying behind while she! goes instead. Finally, at the 
 hotel, Alvers, now dressed in a maintenance uniform, leaves his room 
 and heads out into a corridor.
 
A bit later, at PalmerÃs office, Sherry gets a call from Detective 
 Norris, who says Julia Milliken says Sherry was with her when 
Milliken 
 died. Sherry denies this, and says Palmer will confirm sheÃs been at 
 his office all evening. At the hotel Phillips sees a maintenance man 
 (Alvers) he doesnÃt recognize, and asks his assistant to check him 
 out. Then one of the CTU agents, stationed outside, shows Michelle a 
 photo of Alvers entering the hotel, which was taken by the hotel 
 security cameras. Michelle realizes itÃs too dangerous to order 
anyone 
 from her team to go inside, so she decides to go herself, As she 
heads 
 for the door, Gael and three other agents decide to brave the 
premises 
 too. A few moments later, inside, Phillips tells Michelle that he may 
 know where Alvers is. Meanwhile, in the hotelÃs ventilation room, 
 Alvers places the virus vial under the systemÃs main fan, sets a 
 timer, and leaves. As heÃs passing through a utility room, however, 
 Michelle conf! ronts him and manages to cuff him to a pipe. Then she 
 asks where the virus is, noting that if he doesnÃt tell her, heÃll 
die 
 along with everyone else. Finally he says itÃs in the central heating 
 unit, and after she radios this to Gael, he races to the ventilation 
 room and finds the vial near the fan. Just as he reaches for it, the 
 timer ticks down, thereÃs a small explosion, and a fine white powder 
 is blown all over GaelÃs face and up into the fan, where it starts to 
 spread throughout the hotel.

Episode 12 - 12:00 - 1:00 a.m.
As Nina takes delivery of the virus from Amador, the CTU moves into place to intercept it; Sherry fails in her first attempt to blackmail Milliken; and Kim learns that ChloeÃs baby isnÃt really hers.
At the CTU Adam chafes when he learns Tony has brought in a master computer expert, Dalton Furelle, to assist JackÃs operation. In Mexico Ramon orders Pablo to take Hector (whoÃs dying after being shot by Ramon) to a hospital, but Jack convinces Ramon that Hector will never make it, and Ramon finally shoots and kills Hector to put him out of his misery. Nina tries once again to warn Ramon that Jack is still working for the CTU, but Jack reminds Ramon of all heÃs done to help Ramon and his brother, so Ramon agrees to go ahead and they head for the meeting with Michael Amador. Back at the CTU Adam sees Kim sitting with baby Amber, and asks Kim who she belongs to. Kim says the baby is ChloeÃs, but Adam says he did a background check on Chloe and knows she has no children. Chloe sees Kim talking to Adam and calls Kim on thephone to see whatÃs going on. Kim asks who the baby really belongs to, but Chloe refuses to say. Back in Mexico Chas! e takes a position above the old mine where Jack, Ramon, and Nina will meet Amador. As their caravan arrives and they get out of their vehicles, Nina tells Ramon she can prove Jack is aiding the CTU, saying that if he is, they will have posted a sentry on either some high ground ahead of them or at the tree-line to the west. So Ramon orders Pablo and Phillippe to check it out. Meanwhile Palmer tells Sherry he has told their daughter, Nicole, that Sherry would like to speak with her, and Sherry heads off to a meeting with her first source in her battle against Milliken, telling Palmer she would do this even if he werenÃt helping her mend fences with Nicole. Back at the mine Phillippe radios Ramon, saying he hasnÃt found any CTU sentries. Then Pablo checks in, also saying he sees no one. As he clicks off, however, we see Chase holding a knife to PabloÃs neck. The call satisfies Ramon, who warns Nina that if she tries to get away at any time during the meeting with Amador, several snipe! rs will be waiting to kill her.
At the CTU Kim finally gets a chance to ask Chloe face-to-face about the baby, and Chloe says Amber belongs to her boyfriend Eric, whoÃs hiding the child from his ex-wifeÃs abusive boyfriend. Kim asks why they havenÃt notified Child Protective Services, and Chloe says Eric did, just this morning. A moment later, though, Kim asks Dalton to check the Child Protective Services database, and they find no record of EricÃs complaint, nor of any complaint in AmberÃs name. Finally, at the mine, Nina warns Jack that if anything goes wrong during the deal with Amador, Ramon will kill Jack, too, but then Ramon tells his assistant Luis that if anything goes awry, kill Nina first.
Sherry arrives at a low-rent trailer park, where she visits a scruffy man named Kevin Kelly. Sherry confirms that Kelly knows Alan Milliken was the drunk driver in a hit-and-run accident that killed KellyÃs daughter 12 years ago, and that he took a multi-million-dollar payoff to keep quiet. Sherry offers to help Kelly get back at Milliken, but Kelly asks for a favor in return: a full presidential pardon for his son Patrick, whoÃs serving a life sentence for murder. Back at the CTU Kim tells Tony that Amber is not ChloeÃs baby, and that she suspects Chloe is mentally unstable. Tony, however, insists they need ChloeÃs technical expertise to get through this mission, and refuses to address the baby issue until after itÃs complete. Meanwhile Sherry calls Palmer to ask about the pardon for Patrick Kelly. Wayne advises him not to get involved, but Palmer says he hasnÃt decided what he should do. Back at the trailer park Sherry returns to KellyÃs trailer, but finds! it stripped of its furnishings. Scared, she rushes back to her car as another set of headlights approaches. It turns out to be just a couple of elderly residents, and Sherry drives away as quickly as she can. Finally, in Mexico, Chase transmits an audio signal to the CTU as Amador and his driver arrive at the mine. Then, while Jack watches from nearby, Amador greets Nina and shows her a briefcase containing a metal cylinder holding the virus.
Amador removes the virus vial from the cylinder and Nina analyzes it with a high-tech spectrascope. As Chase watches through binoculars and narrates to the crew at the CTU, Nina confirms the virus is real, and Tony orders the CTU Delta teams to move in. Chase says the teams are about a minute and a half away, and orders one team to go after Amador, whoÃs leaving the mine after concluding his transaction with Nina. After Amador is safely away, Ramon and Jack intercept Nina. Then Ramon takes the virus case and orders Jack and Nina to their knees at gunpoint. Then, as Jack tries to stall for time, Chase shoots Ramon in the shoulder and Jack grabs his gun. RamonÃs men move in, but Chase and Jack pick them off one by one. Still, though, Ramon gets away and runs off into the woods, and as the Delta team helicopters finally arrive, Chase orders them to go after Ramon.
From her car, Sherry calls MillikenÃs wife Julia, and says she knows 
 Julia would like to divorce Milliken, but isnÃt willing to lose 
 everything to do so. When Julia confirms this, Sherry says she knows 
a 
 way Julia could win her freedom without losing her financial 
security, 
 so Julia agrees to meet Sherry in 45 minutes. Back in the woods Jack 
 finds Ramon pinned by the spotlight of a Delta team chopper. Jack 
 orders the team to hold their fire, and tries to talk Ramon into 
 giving up. Ramon says heÃd rather make sure theyÃll all die. Then he 
 unscrews the top of the virus vialÖ but instead of the virus inside, 
 he sees too late that it contains a plastic explosive which goes off 
 in his face, killing him. After recovering from the explosion, Jack 
 and Chase realize Amador must have switched the real virus vial for a 
 booby-trapped one when he concluded the deal with Nina. Then Chloe 
 reports, via radio, that the other Delta team has cornered Amador. As 
 that team moves! in, however, AmadorÃs own men appear and mow down 
the 
 Delta team. Then, as the CTU agents react, Amador smashes his cell 
 phone so he canÃt be tracked further, and drives off, tucking the 
real 
 virus vial back into its padded metal case.
 Episode 13 - 1:00 - 2:00 a.m.
 
As Jack flies Nina back to Los Angeles, she unleashes a computer virus she planted at the CTU; and Sherry confronts Milliken about his involvement in the hit-and-run murder.
As the CTU staff learns Amador has ambushed and killed their Delta team, Chase and Jack split up in the woods to chase Nina. As Chase follows a light, however, Nina steps up behind him, holds a gun to his back, and forces him to radio Jack, saying everythingÃs OK. Then, as Nina starts to march Chase off, Jack steps out and punches Nina, then asks Chase to leave him alone with her. Jack intends to kill Nina, but she convinces him to let her live, saying she knows Amador is headed for Los Angeles, and knows his contact there. AfterJack calls Tony to say heÃs bringing Nina back, Tony confronts Chloe about the baby sheÃs watching. Once again she refuses to say whose baby it is, and says he can call the police if he wants to. Meanwhile Palmer gets a call from Sherry, who reports that someone got to Kevin Kelly before she could convince him to speak up about MillikenÃs involvement in the 12-year-old hit-and-run murder of KellyÃs daughter. Sherry says sheÃs on her ! way to talk to Julia Milliken, and Palmer warns her not to confront Milliken himself, which Sherry promises not to do. A few minutes later Jack, Nina, and Chase board a CTU plane for Los AngelesÖ while Amador, on his own private jet, calls his L.A. contact, Marcus Alvers, to say heÃll be there in an hour with the virus.
About the same time, Sherry calls Julia Milliken, who gives her instructions for getting through the security gate at the Milliken estate. Then Julia goes to MillikenÃs bedroom and tucks him in, saying sheÃs going downstairs to make some tea. Back on the CTU plane Nina tells Jack that AmadorÃs L.A. contact is named ìAlvers,î so Jack relays this to Tony, who assigns his staff to investigate. After the call Jack tries to mend fences with Chase, whoÃs still cool toward him but finally does agree that their real goal is to press Nina and find Amador and the virus. A few minutes later, at the CTU, Dalton and Adam pinpoint Marcus Alversà full name and history, and set to work tracking him down. Tony radios Jack, who tells Nina what theyÃve learned. To JackÃs surprise, Nina provides more details about Alvers, revealing that she knew the basics already but just wanted to see how fast the CTU could dig up the information. Finally Nina gives Jack a phone number to rea! ch Alvers, but when Jack dials it and punches in a string of numbers she provides, the line goes dead and Nina smiles: the CTU computer systems start to crash, and Nina tells Jack that the call he just made triggered a worm she planted long ago at the CTU, which will gradually jam its entire network.
As the CTU staff rushes to fight the worm, Jack calls Tony to report what Nina has done. Jack tells Tony to put Chloe on the problem, but Tony says he canÃt because the LAPD has just arrived to arrest her. Chase learns Nina has a code that can cancel the virus, but she refuses to provide it unless they turn the plane around and let her go in Mexico. Jack refuses, saying the CTU staff might be able to stop the virus on their own. Back at the CTU Chappelle gives Chloe one more chance to tell him who the baby belongs to, but Tony intervenes and puts Chloe back to work fighting the computer virus. Meanwhile Sherry arrives at the Milliken estate, tells Julia about MillikenÃs involvement in the hit-and-run murder, and promises that if Julia helps her send Milliken to prison, Julia will get all his money. Sherry asks Julia to find out all the phone calls Milliken made from his cell phone in the last three hours, but Julia says the phone is with Milliken in his bedr! oom. Julia says sheÃs afraid to try to get itÖ but Sherry says sheÃs not, and a few moments later she tiptoes into MillikenÃs room. He seems to be asleep, but as she picks up the phone and leaves, he stirs.
A bit later, after Sherry calls a technical contact to report the numbers Alan has called recently, she starts to leave, but then Milliken appears and accuses Julia of stealing his phone. Sherry admits that she did it and boldly asks him what happened to Kevin Kelly (the man who disappeared from the trailer park a bit earlierÖ and who can incriminate Milliken in the murder of KellyÃs daughter). Milliken doesnÃt answer her, so Sherry starts to leave, but Milliken asks her to stay and sit down. Back on the plane Jack calls Tony again and learns the computer worm is just three minutes from shutting down the entire CTU system. Jack tells Nina sheÃll have to tell him now how to stop it, or it will be too late and sheÃll have no more leverage. He puts her on the phone with Chloe, but instead of stopping the worm, Nina gives Chloe a code that slows it down, which buys them another 20 minutes to negotiate. Then Nina demands again to be returned to Mexico and freedÖ ! but again, Jack refuses.
Later, as the plane begins its approach into L.A., Jack insists Nina 
 give him the kill code for the virus. She refuses, and suddenly the 
 plane reverses its descent and begins to turn around. Jack asks 
whatÃs 
 going on, and the pilot reports Tony ordered him to give in to NinaÃs 
 demands so sheÃll provide the kill code. Jack pulls a gun on the 
pilot 
 and orders him to land anyway, then calls Tony. As they argue, Chloe 
 and Dalton finally get the virus under control, and within moments 
 they regain control of the CTU computers. Jack reports this to Nina 
 and the plane finally comes in for its landing. Back at the CTU 
 Chappelle again confronts Chloe while Child Protective Services 
 workers take the baby into custody. Finally Chloe tells both 
Chappelle 
 and Kim that the baby is ChaseÃs. Meanwhile, at the Milliken estate, 
 Sherry gets into a heated argument with Milliken, who suddenly starts 
 to wheeze and clutch at his chest. He asks Julia to fetch his pills, 
 but Sherry s! tops her, indicating that they should just let Milliken 
 die.
 Episode 14 -2:00 - 3:00 a.m.
 
Jack returns Nina to the CTU, where Tony questions her; Jack is questioned by Internal Affairs; Kim confronts Chase about the baby; and Sherry tries to cover up her involvement after MillikenÃs death is discovered.
After Milliken dies, Sherry convinces Julia to go to bed and ìdiscoverî the body later, telling no one that they were present when he was stricken. Meanwhile, after the CTU plane lands, Jack ushers Nina off while Chase gets a call from Chloe, alerting him that she has told Tony the baby is ChaseÃs. Meanwhile Michael Amador meets his contact, Marcus Alvers, in the back room of a seedy restaurant, where Alvers removes the virus from its canister and begins dividing it among 12 small vials. A few minutes later, at the CTU, security officers whisk Nina away for questioning while Chappelle orders Jack to the medical department to have his drug withdrawal symptoms checked. Then, as Nina is walked through the building, Kim sees her. Kim stops Nina and her guards, then punches Nina in the face. Then Jack enters, sees Kim crying, and sweeps her into a hug before Kim can do anything else.
After Kim calms down, Jack tells her heÃs going to get his drug problem evaluated, and Kim watches Chase enter. Meanwhile Sherry arrives at PalmerÃs office and tells him that she did finally take his advice, and instead of going to the Milliken estate, pulled her car off the road, made some phone calls, and then just came back to the office. At the CTU Chase goes with Jack to the clinic, admits to Jack that he has a baby daughter, and promises ó at JackÃs insistence ó to explain everything to Kim right away. About the same time, Kim apologizes to Tony for losing her cool and punching Nina, but Tony assures her that if she hadnÃt done it, he might have. After Tony leaves, Chase joins Kim and explains that he didnÃt know his previous relationship had produced a child until the mother dropped her off a few weeks ago, saying she could no longer care for the baby. He says Chloe has been helping him keep the secret because theyÃre old friends. Meanwhile Michelle a! nd Dalton set up recording equipment in an observation room while Tony goes into the interrogation room next door and begins questioning Nina about Marcus Alvers. Nina tries to distract Tony with references to their past relationship, but he does manage to learn that Nina and Alvers had an intimate relationship.
At the Milliken estate a housekeeper finally finds MillikenÃs body and summons Julia, who doesnÃt let on that she already knew Milliken was dead. At the CTU Jack heads for the interrogation room, but Chappelle stops him and orders him to talk first with Mike Lafabe, an Internal Affairs agent. In the interrogation room Nina points out that TonyÃs neck wound is starting to bleed, and when he goes out to the hall so Michelle can tend to it, he tells her to bring in their new torture expert, Peter Johnson. At the same time, Kim asks Chase for more details about his relationship with the babyÃs mother, while he finally retrieves the child from another agent, Marcy, whoÃs been watching her. Then, finally, Johnson joins Tony and Nina in the interrogation room and readies his instruments.
Back at the restaurant Alvers calls another contact and promises, in Russian, to meet him soon... and Amador agrees, as long as theyÃll have time to leave the country before the virus is released. At the CTU Jack explains to Lafabe that he started using heroin before he re-established contact with the Salazars so he could be a believable junkie by the time he met up with them. Lafabe doesnÃt believe it, but Chappelle supports Jack and Jack insists he has nothing to hide. Meanwhile, at PalmerÃs office, Wayne learns from a newscast that Milliken is dead, and asks Palmer where Sherry was when the death occurred. Palmer assures him Sherry didnÃt go to the Milliken estate, but then confronts Sherry and demands the truth. At first Sherry denies she was at the estate, but finally tells Palmer that Milliken had a heart attack while arguing with her and Julia. She denies, however, that she did anything to cause it. Back at the CTU Chase tells Jack that Johnson is wor! king on Nina now, but Jack says thatÃs not a good idea because he doesnÃt know her well enough, and she could take advantage of him. Meanwhile, in the interrogation room, as Johnson presses a blade to NinaÃs neck and Tony asks how much more she can take, she jerks her neck back, forcing JohnsonÃs blade into an artery in her neck. As she starts to bleed profusely, Tony calls for help, then unlatches her from her chair.
At his office Palmer tells Wayne that Sherry was at the Milliken 
 estate when Milliken died, but claims she didnÃt have anything to do 
 with the death. Wayne is skeptical, however, and calls Julia, who 
 finally breaks down and says Sherry prevented her from giving 
Milliken 
 medicine that could have saved him. Meanwhile, at the CTU clinic, a 
 doctor prepares to operate on Nina and orders a medic to start an 
 anesthesia drip. The medic does, but doesnÃt see Nina pinch the tube 
 to prevent the drug from entering her veins. At the same time Tony 
 reports NinaÃs actions to Jack, and before he has time to react, an 
 alarm rings out, alerting them that Nina has escaped. Chappelle 
orders 
 the building locked down, and as everyone runs off to look for Nina, 
 Kim sees a dead guard in a corridor, pulls out her gun, and comes 
face 
 to face with Nina, who also draws a gun on Kim. For a moment thereÃs 
a 
 tense standoff, but then Jack appears, shoots Nina in the head, and 
 grabs Kim in a protective embrace.
Episode 15  3:00 A.M. - 4:00 A.M.
  
 
Jack finally catches Michael Amador, but only after Marcus Alvers has escaped with the virus and prepares to release it at a large hotel; and the police learn Sherry was at the Milliken mansion when Milliken died.
In the aftermath of NinaÃs death, Jack tells Chappelle that he shot her in self-defense, but Chappelle says heÃll need to make sure of that. At the seedy nightspot Amador and Alvers welcome their client, Saunders, who says he chose a rather limited first target for the virus because he just wants to send a message. Back at the CTU Tony tells the other agents about NinaÃs death, but says he may have another lead on finding AlversÖ and then displays a photo of a bio-warfare detonator which heÃs just learned was stolen three weeks ago in the Ukraine, and which he says Amador and Alvers may be attaching to vials of the virus. At the nightclub Alvers demonstrates the detonatorÃs trigger mechanism for Saunders, who approves. Saunders also scolds Amador for being duped by Jack in Mexico. Amador says he still got his job done, though, and reminds Saunders that he and Alvers havenÃt been paid yet. Saunders gives him an authorization code for a Swiss bank account, but! when Amador checks the account on his computer, he finds only half the promised balance. Saunders says theyÃll get the rest after Alvers releases the virus at the hotel theyÃve chosen. Meanwhile Chloe, monitoring various data streams, sees someone access the Swiss account, which is registered to one of AmadorÃs aliases. Tony orders Kim to trace the computer accessing the account, and Adam says they can find AmadorÃs location in less than ten minutes. At the same time Jack tells Chappelle how he came to shoot Nina, but because Jack blocked security cameras during the shooting, Chappelle doubts that it was entirely self-defense. Before they can argue, however, Chase tells them about the lead on AmadorÃs location, and Chappelle finally agrees to let Jack go there with Chase and a SWAT team.
At PalmerÃs district offices, Wayne confronts Sherry and tells her that Julia told him how she withheld medication from Milliken as he was dying. Sherry insists she was just cleaning up the problem like Palmer wanted her to. Wayne says sheÃs insane and Palmer will have to know the truth, but Sherry says they canÃt tell him, and Wayne realizes sheÃs right. Meanwhile a detective, Mike Norris, questions Julia about MillikenÃs death. Julia is surprised when Norris tells her that the housekeeper saw a Mercedes driving away from the house just before she found MillikenÃs body, but Julia says she doesnÃt know whose car it might have been. Norris also tells Julia that the houseÃs security cameras were shut down about an hour before MillikenÃs death, but again Julia says she doesnÃt know how that came to be. Back at the CTU Kim forwards a grid showing AmadorÃs location to Jack and Chase in JackÃs SUV. Meanwhile Alvers arrives at the St. George Hotel, goes into a gues! t room and takes out a folded garment, a tool box, and the vial with the detonating device, which he tests before starting to change clothes.
At PalmerÃs office Wayne again offers to resign if he has become a liability to PalmerÃs presidency, but Palmer still wonÃt hear of it, saying he trusts Wayne more than he could anyone else. At the same time, Jack and Chase arrive in Chinatown and take command of a SWAT team getting into position outside the seedy nightclub. Inside, however, Amador sees the men on a security screenÖ just as Jack, outside, notices a motion detector and realizes that Amador knows theyÃre there. A moment later Amador races out of the building, shooting at the SWAT team, and darts across the alley. Jack chases and corners him, and they scuffle, but Jack finally pins Amador. As Chase calls in the capture, however, Amador says theyÃre too late to prevent the virus from getting out, and Jack and Chase drag him back inside for questioning.
A few minutes later Jack readies a hot frying pan inside the nightclub, and asks Amador where the virus is, saying he can protect Amador if he talks. Amador refuses, noting that Jack hasnÃt even been able to protect his own family members lately. Finally Chase presses AmadorÃs hand into the hot frying pan, but Amador just passes out. Jack calls Tony and tells him theyÃve got Amador, but the virus has already been passed on. Just then, however, Chloe, whoÃs been searching AmadorÃs computer, finds schematic drawings of the St. George Hotel. Jack says the hotel may be Alversà target, and Tony dispatches a team there. Tony also calls Craig Phillips, head of security at the St. George, and orders him to lock down the building immediately and start keeping an eye out for Alvers. After the call Tony prepares to head for the hotel with the rest of the CTU team, but Michelle sees that heÃs still weak from his earlier wound, and talks him into staying behind while she! goes instead. Finally, at the hotel, Alvers, now dressed in a maintenance uniform, leaves his room and heads out into a corridor.
A bit later, at PalmerÃs office, Sherry gets a call from Detective Norris, who says Julia Milliken says Sherry was with her when Milliken died. Sherry denies this, and says Palmer will confirm sheÃs been at his office all evening. At the hotel Phillips sees a maintenance man (Alvers) he doesnÃt recognize, and asks his assistant to check him out. Then one of the CTU agents, stationed outside, shows Michelle a photo of Alvers entering the hotel, which was taken by the hotel security cameras. Michelle realizes itÃs too dangerous to order anyone from her team to go inside, so she decides to go herself, As she heads for the door, Gael and three other agents decide to brave the premises too. A few moments later, inside, Phillips tells Michelle that he may know where Alvers is. Meanwhile, in the hotelÃs ventilation room, Alvers places the virus vial under the systemÃs main fan, sets a timer, and leaves. As heÃs passing through a utility room, however, Michelle conf! ronts him and manages to cuff him to a pipe. Then she asks where the virus is, noting that if he doesnÃt tell her, heÃll die along with everyone else. Finally he says itÃs in the central heating unit, and after she radios this to Gael, he races to the ventilation room and finds the vial near the fan. Just as he reaches for it, the timer ticks down, thereÃs a small explosion, and a fine white powder is blown all over GaelÃs face and up into the fan, where it starts to spread throughout the hotel.
