Once Matobo arrives at the White House, Jack, Bill, and Walker meet with President Taylor, outlining why they had to deceive her and others in order to regain the CIP device. While there, Taylor receives a phone call from Dubaku saying that they’ve taken her husband Henry captive.

The new makeshift CTU team (Jack, Tony, Bill, Renee, and Chloe) follow Matobo to the location Dubaku has set up his base of operations. Dubaku, meanwhile, has chosen a plant in Ohio to inflict damage on 30,000 people using the CIP device which disrupts safeguard firewalls.
