Jack finds Milo and Marilyn under attack, kills two gunmen and captures their leader. Milo is wounded but survives. Marilyn admits that Phillip forced her to send CTU into the trap by threatening Josh. She supplies Gredenko's real address, allowing Buchanan to dispatch another team. Jack uses the captured gunman to arrange a meeting with Phillip, making Marilyn insist that she see her son before revealing anything else.
Morris leaves CTU and buys whiskey, taking a drink before immediately spitting it out. When Chloe smells alcohol, he insists he is sober and promises to contact his sponsor. In Washington, Reed explains that the plan is to kill Palmer and blame Assad. Lennox pretends to cooperate but secretly calls the Secret Service. Reed discovers the deception, knocks him unconscious and cancels the meeting. CTU's raid on Gredenko's house finds it empty.
Phillip holds Josh at gunpoint on a rooftop and demands that Jack surrender alone. Jack exchanges himself for the boy, sending Josh back to Marilyn. Phillip says Gredenko blackmailed him over Palmer's assassination and forced him to divert the nuclear weapons. Jack condemns his father's attempts to protect himself at everyone else's expense. Phillip makes Jack kneel as though preparing to shoot him, then disappears without firing. A telephone left behind directs Jack to Charles Logan, who claims he can help locate Gredenko and requests a meeting.
