Day 7: 10:00pm-11:00pm (24: Under Siege)

**Day 7: 10:00pm-11:00pm** is an episode of 24: Under Siege.

### 10:00:02

At the besieged FBI Washington Field Office, the bodies of the slaughtered FBI personnel was seen throughout the building. The lights were turned off. There was a lot of bullet holes and blood in the walls, ceilings, floors, doors, computers and office desks. Some of the security cameras got hit in crossfire. At the second floor, Renee Walker, armed with the Glock 19 pistol, patrolled the floor. She was shocked and horrified by the massacre of the entire building full of FBI agents. She checked the second floor conference room and finds more dead FBI personnel in there, which shocked her even more. Then the emergency lights went off. Now more determined than ever, Renee leaves the room and advanced further while avoiding any still-operating security cameras.

At the bullpen, Mathis helped some of the commandos set up equipment for their makeshift command center while others have destroyed the cell phones of every FBI personnel in the building. Darkness surrounded the area and the only lighting that's on the flashlights the commandos use and glow sticks they carried with them. Mathis updates Griggs, who is in Larry's office, He calls Hodges about them taking control of the field office and took over twenty hostages, but lost nine men. He says that they were lucky that they are running a skeleton crew since the majority of the FBI agents are still in the White House and other agents were busy pursuing Jack when they killed Burnett. Hodges asks if any agent left the building and Griggs confirms that no agent left the building and they are working to find out who send Quinn's information to Jack with help from Hillinger, whom Griggs' describes as one of Dubaku's moles. Hodges tells Griggs that he and Seaton are working to get their colleagues not to speak by the Taylor Administration anymore. He tells Griggs to be sure no one in any agency knows about the weapon until it's in their hands, which Griggs acknowledges before hanging up.

Griggs enters the conference room where Larry, Janis and the other hostages are held at. The room was lit by glow sticks. Griggs taunts them about their predicament. Then he reveals security camera footages of the slaughtered FBI personnel in each floor of the field office in inflict emotional pain on the hostages. Griggs states Larry and the other hostages that they lost over 300 of their people and he and his forces only lost nine since the majority of the FBI agents on the field are either in the White House or busy with other things. Dornan curses at him and Hatcher backfists him in the face. Mathis takes an FBI analyst and moves him in view of the hostages. Despite pleas from Janis, Larry and the others, Griggs gives a nod and Mathis executes the analyst in front of the hostages. As Larry furiously glares at the commandos, Mathis rants that the FBI shouldn't be following the rules and the law as they do not work or don't make them look good as he and Griggs left the conference room.

**10:02:04**

Hillinger comes to Griggs and Mathis and reveals that Renee was the one who sent that email to Jack. As Riberio runs Renee's profile, Griggs asks about her and Sean reveals that she is the FBI Assistant Special Agent in Charge, who was the one who brought Jack from the Senate Hearings to help them out on Dubaku's case and she worked closely with him since then from what he knows. Griggs asks if they should be worried about her and Sean says that Renee is tough, intelligent and capable of handling herself, but assures that she is nothing to worry about. Riberio shows Renee's profile to Griggs and finds out that she was suspended over a hour ago and was taken to a holding cell when she came into contact with Jack while on the run. Mathis sends Baker and his men to find out if Renee is dead or not.

In the second floor, Renee advanced further with her pistol raised. Then she sees a flashlight. She spots a fallen fire axe nearby and takes it. As she entered an office, she finds another agent dead and went inside. Perez came out of the hallway as he search the area with his FN2000 rifle with a flashlight attachment. He heard a faint ding. As Perez checks the office with his and went inside, Renee came out of the shadows and cross-checks his face with the shaft of the axe. Then she struck Perez with it below the vest, killing him. She takes his weapons and magazines. She finds the electronic device with the HDMI plug to it and realizes they hacked into the security room with it. Then Renee overhears Hogan speaking to Griggs on the radio, saying that they locked and welded the building's entrances and exits and primed them with explosions. Then Griggs checks in with Baker and the latter says that the top floors are cleared and the knockout gas has been evaporated. Renee overheard everything and puts the radio down. Renee pulls Perez's body further into the shadows. Then she gets out of the office, leaving the radio behind to avoid the commandos from changing frequency if she took it.

Jack and Tony share their findings to each other, which Jack is shocked that the FBI Washington Field Office has been taken over, likely by Starkwood, and Renee helping Chloe and Morris escape while she stayed behind to help everyone from the inside. When Tony if they should call the authorities since the FBI is out of the question, Jack replies that no one will believe them since they are fugitives and that many authorities will be distracted by the field office siege when word gets out. Tony agrees to rendezvous with him at the Port of Alexandria. Jack then calls Chloe, who arrive in the old safe house and got it up-and-running again. Chloe says that Morris and Tony have filled her in about recent events and asks if it was true about Bill Buchanan's death. Jack says that it is, but assures her that Bill sacrificed himself to save the President. Chloe was shaken by the news. Jack asks if Renee called and Chloe replies she hasn't yet. When Jack asks how it happened, Chloe doesn't know how it happened yet, but reveals to Jack that Larry and Janis were trying to get Morris's help by decrypting Renee's email to him for her freedom when the siege happened. Jack tells her if Renee calls, have her contact him in Tony's phone. Chloe acknowledges and asks what's he going to do. Jack tells that he and Tony are going to track the bioweapon Starkwood is trying to get and call whoever to contact since the FBI will be too distracted by the field office siege. Chloe asks Jack to fill her in about everything.

**10:05:34**

Back at the White House, President Allison Taylor is finally speaking with her husband, Henry, who is recovering from his surgery. She tells him about everything that happened and how she is well anyway. Finally, she tells him that their daughter, Olivia, has returned home and was at the White House helping her as a special adviser. Henry smiles at this good news and they hang up. As that was happening, Ethan Kanin entered the Oval Office when Tim Wood rushed in and whispered something in his eye that shocked him.

After Taylor finishes her call to Henry, she sees Woods speaking to Ethan about something that is wrong. Woods tells her that FBI Washington Field Office went offline and no one inside the building is answering. Taylor was shocked. Ethan, who just found out about it, reveals that every FBI agent on the field, as well as Justice Department, Homeland Security and DC Metro, have been trying to contact Larry or anyone inside the field office, but no one has been answering in the last thirty minutes. Woods confirms that there's no dial tone or voice mail on the phones inside the field office or anyone's cell phones. Taylor orders Woods to send every available DC Metro and every agent available in all breaches to the field office to investigate what is going on.

As Woods was making calls, Taylor tells him that Henry will make a full recovery, but Ethan simply says that's good news. He then informs Taylor about his plans to resign his position as White House Chief of Staff, but after hearing something is wrong in the field office, he'll stick around until then. Taylor is shocked by and asks him to wait until they know more about what's going before he does resign. Then she calls in to get the situation room ready immediately.

**10:08:28**

At the field office, Riberio hears from the FBI frequency to DC Metro. She tells Griggs that the authorities are coming to the field office and the first wave of reinforcements will arrive in four minutes. Griggs has her and Sean set up a video call to the FBI mobile command center that was stationed the White House earlier and to have Mathis bring Larry and another agent over when they arrive.

Meanwhile, in the second floor, Renee went to another office, where she finds another agent dead. As she looked in the drawers, Renee finds a cell phone that was hidden in plain view and takes it. She takes a blue cotton bag also as she dials the phone. Chloe answers and was glad to hear Renee calling. Chloe fills her in what Jack told her about Juma building a bioweapon with Starkwood's help, Quinn killing Senator Mayer and where the bioweapon is being delivered at. Renee was shocked by the revelations. Chloe gives her Tony's number. While putting the spare magazines in the bag, Renee says that she's going to call Jack and Tony first, then she will call the FBI outside the field office afterwards. She tells Chloe that she might need her help to get into the field office's mainframe afterwards. Chloe can try to do a work around to go through the locks on the servers and re-route the signal. Renee acknowledges and tells her she'll call her back later. With that, she leaves the office with the pistol on her left hand and the phone on her right.

**10:10:45**

Jack arrives at the gate of the Port of Alexandria with a rifle and meet up to Tony, who is surveying the inside the port with his binoculars. Tony informs him that he has seen only one guard patrolling around the area. Jack can't believe it when suddenly Tony's phone rang and it was Renee who was calling.

Tony gives the phone to Jack, who tells him to keep observing. Jack speaks to Renee, who is slowly advancing to another corridor. Jack asks about what happened in the field office, but she's doesn't know since she was in holding when the attack happened. She tells Jack the situation is very bad since it's a bloodbath and many FBI personnel are massacred and they probably taken hostages in the third floor. Jack was in disbelief. Renee says that the siege was organized and they carried full tactical-gear and how they blew up the holding cell door, trying to kill her and anyone else in there. She also tells him that they gassed most of the floors with knockout gas except the third floor for reasons she doesn't know. As she arrived in another office, Renee tells Jack that the hostiles are likely Starkwood and must've intercepted her email to him since Larry and Janis did earlier. Jack was angered by how Starkwood mercenaries managed to seize the field office and massacred everyone inside it. Renee says that they jammed communications during the siege, shut the building's power and likely closed the vents as she found a laptop on the desk and a FBI jacket. She says that she's going to call the authorities once she reaches a safe location as she puts the FBI jacket on. Jack tells her that he and Tony will try to get the bioweapon and once they got it, they will call the authorities. Then he will return to the field office to help her out. Renee is concerned about Jack since the authorities might think he killed Mayer, but Jack says that he'll worry about that once he gets his hands on the weapon. Renee tells him to stay safe and Jack replies the same thing to her before hanging up. Tony tells that there still is one Port Authority officer. Jack tells him that they must find the port manifest to know what container has the weapons inside.

Meanwhile, inside the port, Port Authority supervisor Carl Gadsen is making his walk around while talking to his wife, Linda, who is expecting twins. As she tells him about her day, Carl hears a thud near one of the containers and hangs the phone. When he gets closer to inspect, Jack approaches from behind and asks him about the manifest. When he denies knowing about it, Jack puts a gun on his head and he tells him it's at the office. Jack and Tony take him away.

### 10:12:26

Outside the field office, DC Metro police cars, FBI sedans, FBI police cars, DC Metro SWAT and FBI CRIG teams that were involved in the White House siege began converging the field office. Russell sees them coming from the roof and notifies Hogan, who conveyed to Mathis. In the stairway, Renee hears sirens coming in. She sees two tripwires on the emergency door that leads to the lobby and finds a frag grenade on one and a claymore mine on another, realizing that they rigged all entrances and exits. Then she heard footsteps above and immediately went back to the second floor to avoid detection from Baker and his men. At the conference room, Mathis has Hatcher and Weight bring Larry and Dornan over to the bullpen, much to the horror of Janis and the other hostages. As Mathis and Lung bring Larry and Dornan over to the bullpen, Hogan came over and tells Griggs that there's no sign of Renee in the holding cell she was in. Griggs tells Hogan to have Baker search for her and have Schulz find her through the monitors to see if she's still around the building. Griggs puts his mask on as well as Mathis and any mercenary nearby.

Outside the field office, the FBI mobile command center arrive. FBI Agents Lorenzo Mizelli and Seth Gonzales came in and asks if anyone's got anything. The analyst says that the building and the parking garage are locked down and the power is off in the entire building. Another analyst says that there's a fire in the decoy SWAT van, leading everyone to realize the building has been taken. Mizelli asks who will assume command since Larry is inside and Gonzales says that Arthur Remick will arrive in 15 minutes to assume command. Then a video call came in and it shows the terrified Dornan. Mizelli asks Dornan if he was alright, but Griggs shows up and puts the voice changers on the computer's speakers. He tells Mizelli to give President Taylor on the conference call.

At the White House, President Taylor speaks to Ethan about his future in politics now that Mayer is dead as Olivia came in. Just as Olivia was about to say something, someone came in and that the man inside the field office is demanding to speak to her on the video call. President Taylor asks Dornan what's going on, but Griggs executes him in front of everyone, shocking Taylor, Ethan and Olivia, as well as everyone in the FBI mobile command center. Then the masked Mathis brings Larry over. Larry quickly tells them the terrorists are homegrown mercenaries before being pulled away. The masked Griggs shows up with the masked Mathis holding Larry at gunpoint. Griggs tells Taylor, through the voice changers to muff his actual voice, that he has 21 hostages in the building and orders her to stand down the authorities outside or he will execute three hostages every minute. He also warns that if they breach, he will kill every survivor in the building. Ethan whispers Taylor to stand down the forces outside the field office. After a moment, Taylor orders everyone to stand down. Griggs clicks off the call and President Taylor tells everyone to notify Justice Department and Homeland Security now.

**10:14:31**

After the call, Griggs and everyone else unmasked themselves as Mathis has Larry in his seat. Larry demands who they are since they are not moles on Dubaku's payroll. Griggs rants about how the U.S. government and the politicians are destroying America's reputation and how they refuse to do what was necessary to protect the country. He views the FBI and other agencies are inept and would rather follow the rules and the law than do what needs to done to stop terrorist threats. Then he says that the government leaves young soldiers to die in battle when they claim they leave no man behind. Griggs says that they have always relied on the support of private military companies when their military are unable to defend America, but now the PMCs are being threated by the same "agenda-driven, bleeding heart bureaucrats" who helped damage the U.S.. He and his forces want to fight the government over their decisions with the PMCs.

Larry condemn Griggs' views and his actions at the field office. Griggs taunts that he seemed more interested in pursuing Jack than heeding his warnings and that he and the government shouldn't be pursuing perhaps one of the America's most decorated heroes. Larry assumes Jack works for them and he arranged the assault on the field office. Griggs smirks, realizing he doesn't know what's going on. He reveals that they send one of their operatives to Kennedy Memorial Hospital, blending in as a orderly and that he killed Ryan Burnett and framed Jack for it. Larry was horrified that Jack was framed all along and that Griggs and his soldiers are the third party Jack was telling him about. Griggs reveals that he knows about Renee helping Jack identify their operative and where to find evidence against them, which Senator Mayer had. He then reveals that they too had Senator Mayer killed, which enrages Larry as he tried to get him, but Mathis and another mercenary beat him down. Then they brought Larry back to the conference room, but not before seeing Riberio and Sean working for them. Larry tells Janis that Jack didn't kill Burnett and it was an operative working for their kidnappers, which shocks Janis and every hostage in the room. Larry feels overwhelming guilt for not listening to Renee and Jack about the third party.

At the second floor, two men patrolled the area and walked past the janitor's closet. After the men left the hallway, Renee came out of the room, with her pistol raised and went to the other direction.

**10:16:52**

At Starkwood, Jonas Hodges is speaking with one of his men, Stokes. He tells Hodges that they are still waiting for Quinn before going to the port. Hodges, knowing that Quinn might've been killed by Jack, tells Stokes to wait five more minutes and then continue without him and to contact him and Griggs once they have the weapon. As he hangs up, Greg Seaton approaches and tells him that the Board of Directors is waiting for him to begin the meeting. When Hodges mentions Seaton's worried look, he replies that most of the directors are agitated. Hodges simply tells him "they’re six year olds, Greg. And they need to eat their carrots."

As Hodges enters the meeting, he starts addressing the events of the day and how tragic they were. However, he brings up how the United States refused to ask Starkwood for help, despite the fact that they have one of the biggest armies of the West. Infuriated, Hodges mentions how the government has chosen, instead, to cancel their contracts and investigate them. He then asks the directors to ignore government subpoenas and proceed with their jobs. Then a board member got a call from a friend and says that the FBI Washington office has been seized by terrorists. Hodges, feigned surprise, says that attack is another example how they could've helped the country if the government hasn't benched them due to investigations. One of the directors, Doug Knowles, steps up and tells Hodges how they are all willing to face the investigations and comply with the government. Hodges decides to take him apart and leaves Seaton to answer any question from the people at the meeting.

As they walk outside, Doug mentions how they must be careful because of Blaine Mayer's investigation. However, Hodges informs him that Mayer was murdered less than an hour ago. Surprised, Doug asks him if he has anything to do with it. Acting offended, Hodges tells him that Starkwood is not in the business of political assassination. Knowles asks where Griggs is and Hodges says that he's busy taking some issues.

**10:20:52**

Back at the Port of Alexandria, Jack is checking the office computer for information on any shipment arriving from Sangala, while Carl has been tied to a chair. Tony is watching the window for any movement outside. Jack finds two containers in the list. Jack tells Carl that the same terrorists who crashed two planes earlier, attacked the White House and just seized the FBI Washington Field Office are trying to acquire the weapon of mass destruction. Carl confesses his involvement in the plot. He tells them that someone approached him telling him they wanted to smuggle electronics from South Korea and they just needed from him to open the gate and look the other way. Since Carl was in need of money due to his wife's pregnancy, he accepted and made sure he was the only guard at the port that night.

At one moment, Stokes radios Carl through a special unit he gave him to contact him when they arrived. Jack unties him and tells him to answer and play along. When he does, Stokes tells him they need him to open the gate. Before going out of the office, Jack tells Tony to put a microphone on Carl so they can hear what happens. As he is about to walk out, Carl makes Jack promise he will take care of him, worried sick about seeing his family again.

### 10:25:24

At the White House situation room, President Taylor, Ethan and Olivia entered. The military leaders and high-ranking staffers say that they notified Homeland Security about the siege and they are working to send in personnel to the field office. The Director of the FBI, William Jackson, demands to know how did they seized the entire field office. Olivia says she'll call a friend of hers at the J. Edgar Hoover Building to see what they know and steps out. Olivia makes it to Kanin's office and makes a call to reporter, Ken Dellao, who is arriving on the field office. She tells him to hold off on leaking the story about Ethan authorizing Jack to interrogate Burnett until the situation is solved. Dellao agrees on condition they go out for dinner, which she says they'll do it in two weeks before hanging up. Olivia quickly calls her friend in the Hoover Building and she says that they are scrambling for answers about the field office siege. Olivia returns and tells her mother that nothing came up, just as Jackson expected. Then everyone watched the news feed where Dellao goes on air about the siege of the field office. Ethan feels uneasy with Dellao reporting the story since he knew someone revealed to him about authorizing Jack to interrogate Burnett.

Outside the field office, the cops and federal agents have blocked off the entire area and are evacuating everyone out of the perimeter. Inside the FBI mobile command center, Mizelli and everyone stood by as news of the field office came on. Then Arthur Remick entered and Mizelli somberly tells him since Larry and Renee are unable to perform their duties, Remick has been appointed the Acting Special Agent-in-Charge. The stunned Remick asks how many of their personnel are still alive and Mizelli sadly tells him the 21 are still alive, including Larry. They don't know who else is alive yet. Although shaken that he is now taking charge under bad circumstances, Remick tells everyone to fill him in. Gonzales says that they can't find a connection between Juma and Jack to the siege and rules out Jack being in the field office since he was at Senator Mayer's home when it happened. Remick asks if he killed Mayer and Gonzales says that they are looking into it, but it looks that way so far. Remick tells him to have DC Metro send in updates on evidence, preliminary forensics and any vital to them. Agent James Park says that they set up a perimeter around the field office and cleared the area with a five block radius. Mizelli tells that they killed Dornan and the terrorists threaten to execute more if they breach. Remick, still feeling overwhelmed by the situation, tells one of the analyst to give him the manifest of everyone who was in the field office. After a moment, Remick tells Park to get all of their off-duty personnel to the field office and have whoever he needs to help him speed it up. He tells Mizelli to call NSA to see if they can send in one of their satellites with thermal imaging in the field office. As Mizelli is making the call, Remick rubs his forehead and oversees everything in the Mobile Command Center, knowing that he has a heavy burden being the Acting Special Agent-in-Charge.

**10:27:48**

Meanwhile, in the conference room in the field office, Larry is broken up by the event and admits his mistake not listening to Renee and Jack to Janis. He feels ashamed for letting his prejudice of Jack and his history affect his judgement and realizes he and Renee were right all along about everything. Janis agrees that they should've listen to Renee about Jack being set up by their captors. She even admits her own mistake of detecting Chloe deleting Burnett's name and them warning White House about Jack interrogating Burnett, leading to the White House siege. Larry says that there are no way they could've known it was going to happen. He states the field office fell on his watch and his career and reputation is over either way. He expresses remorse of not trusting Renee earlier and suspending her for circumventing his authority, something she had to do. He further states that Jack was right that today is not a day to follow the rules. Janis agrees that Jack has been right about everything lately.

Meanwhile, Renee quietly approaches an empty holding room and calls Chloe. She asks her for status and Chloe says that she's getting close of hacking into the field office servers, but it still locked down and it may take her a few minutes to get in. Renee tells her once she has access, try to temporarily disable the building's certain surveillance cameras so she can reach the security room without any detection. Chloe acknowledges. Renee tells that she'll call her in a few minutes before hanging up.

At the bullpen, Griggs speaks to Stokes on the special phone. Stokes says that they are about to enter the port, but informs him that Quinn hasn't shown up. Griggs suspects that Jack might have killed him and tells Stokes to be on the lookout of him in case if he shows up. Stokes acknowledges him as Griggs hung up. Mathis asks if Stokes can handle getting the weapon and Griggs says that what matters is that the weapon will be ours. Baker tells Griggs that Perez is missing and hasn't responded in the last five minutes. His last location was the second floor, north hallway. Griggs sends Baker and his team to find Perez and has Hogan secure everything between the bullpen and the server room. Mathis radios Schulz to pull up the surveillance archives in the second floor. Griggs asks Russell for any activity and Russell says that there's no activity on the roof yet. Griggs suspects someone is here and tells Mathis to have everyone stay alert.

**10:29:44**

As Carl approaches the gate, Stokes asks him why he took so long. Carl just tells them that they are late, and Stokes shows him the information on the container. Carl points them to where it is, but expresses his disagreement with what they were doing. When Stokes inquires why the hesitation, Carl mentions the way they're showing up all armed just to pick up "small electronics." Stokes tells him not to worry and assures him that he will receive his payment. He then tells Carl to get on one of their trucks When Carl refuses to, Stokes forces him. As the gate is opened, they march their trucks inside the port.

### 10:31:47

Renee arrives in the Rapid Response Team briefing room. She finds the room empty, two of the security cameras destroyed in a crossfire and one security camera still active, but damaged. She makes a call.

Outside the field office, the majority of off-duty FBI agents, including Special Agent Tim Moran, arrive. Remick tells everyone that they know they are in shock by what happen in their field office, but they can't be distracted and he needs their undivided attention and clear mind in order to find a way to solve the situation without risking any lives of the hostages. He tells them to get into assign positions and they will be notified if anything comes up before telling them to get to work. Then Stern, one of the analysts in the FBI Mobile Command Center, tells everyone that someone is making contact inside the field office from a phone belonging to one of the agents name Lewis. After being put through, Remick asks if it was Lewis. Renee says he's dead. Everyone was surprised that it was Renee who made contact. She tells them where she is and asks if they have hostages. Mizelli tells to stay on the line as they mute the call. Remick asks if she's trustworthy and Mizelli agrees. Gonzales and Moran express skepticism given Renee's suspension and arrest, but Mizelli and Park vouch for her. Knowing that there's no other choice, Remick decides to rely on Renee providing intelligence from the inside. After unmuting the call, Mizelli tells Renee that they are holding Larry and 20 agents hostage. Park tells her that they shot Dornan and she was shocked by it. Remick asks Renee if there's any survivors with her. She confirms she's alone and the terrorists took everyone else out. which horrifies Remick and everyone else present. Renee briefs them on everything she knows about the situation, but leaves out the details of Jack and such in order to maintain his cover until he finds the bioweapon. Remick acknowledges Renee and says that they marked on the thermal reading on the NSA satellite above them, so they where she is. Gonzales came over and gives a note to Remick, saying that DC Metro at Senator Mayer's residence is on the line. Remick tells Renee to stay on the line as something came up. Renee tells him she'll call back in a bit.

**10:34:59**

At Larry's office, Griggs was going over files on Larry's computer about Renee. Mathis rushes in, telling him that Perez is dead and his weapons are missing. Griggs orders him to have Baker's team start patrolling the second floor and send some men to patrol the upper floors and have Schulz comb through every operating security cameras.

Renee calls Chloe, who tells her that she got the security feed of the field office and is shocked by the massacre of it. Renee tells her to keep it together, but Chloe assures that she had seen things like that before. Renee asks if she heard from Jack & Tony and Chloe says that she hasn't heard from them in almost 30 minutes. Then she tells Renee that two men are closing in the Rapid Response Team briefing room. Two of the armed commandos check the room as Renee hid. She finds a letter opener and takes it. As one commando was coming down the auditorium, his comrade patrolled above. As the commando looks under the desk, Renee stabs him in the neck with the letter opener, killing him as she grabs the body before hitting the floor so his comrade wouldn't hear it. As his comrade was looking around, Renee sneaks up to him and stabs his right shoulder with a letter opener, causing to load his weapon. They fight. Renee then uses a nearby chair and smacks the commando with it. Then she bludgeons him to death with it. After a moment, Renee finds a silencer on the second commando and takes it.

**10:37:08**

Renee calls Chloe back, who tells her that she just blocked the operating cameras between where she is at and to the north stairway. She heads to the stairway and made it as Chloe re-activate the cameras so no mercenary can get suspicious. Seeing no one in sight, Renee made it to the third floor door and peaks in and sees commandos walking out of the hallway. She tells Chloe to help her find a safe place for her to hide in the third floor. Chloe finds the medical room to one of the safer rooms and that no one is guarding it or nearby it. Chloe temporarily blocks the cameras as Renee sneaks into the medical room and closed the door so no one will know she's there. Chloe advises Renee to stay in there only a few minutes and Renee acknowledges her. She then takes the first aid kit and some medical tape.

At the White House situation room, President Taylor speaks to everyone in the situation room and the personnel outside the field office on the video conference call. Taylor is surprised that Renee made contact with them, despite being trapped inside the field office. Ethan says that Renee was the one who told him that Juma didn't act alone in the White House siege and convinced Larry to allow Jack to interrogate Burnett, which surprises Olivia. Remick says that Renee has given some intel inside the field office. Jackson says that she knows that Renee was suspended from the FBI for having Larry's authority circumvented to Ethan and was apparently arrested for making contact with him while on the run. Taylor says that's not important right now and the focus is to how to solve the situation in the field office. Taylor and Jackson sympathetically says that Homeland Security will be taking over lead since the FBI is compromised by what happened to their people inside the field office and they will arrive in 30 minutes. Then Atkins, another analyst, says Renee's calling.

### 10:39:24

Remick takes the call and knows that she's in medical room through the NSA satellite. Renee says that she killed two more men and is trying to get to the security room to disable the surveillance feed. Remick acknowledges. Then Remick tells her that Senator Mayer's dead and reveals that they believe there's evidence of a third party involved in his home. He reveals that Mayer was killed with bullets uses an UMP40, something that would be likely impossible for Jack to get if he was on the run. There is also broken set of French doors that was crashed through from the inside, not the outside and Mayer was shot dead from his front door, probably around the same time the French doors was crashed through. There was also a chair that was out of place. There were some documents that we're open on Mayer's computer, mainly files of Starkwood. Realizing it's time to reveal the truth, Renee tells Remick that the attackers are likely Starkwood mercenaries and that Jack was framed for killing Burnett by Quinn, who worked for Starkwood. She says that they must've intercepted her email when she ran Quinn's information to Jack and they seized the field office to remove loose ends. She spoke to Jack about it and he discover evidence that Starkwood was behind Juma and the terrorist attacks today and Quinn killed Mayer too. Remick asks why she didn't reveal this information before. Renee reveals that Larry was letting his prejudice of Jack affect his judgment. That was why she overturned his authority to Ethan to allow Jack to interrogate Burnett and he suspended her for it. She also tells him that Jack is in the Port of Alexandria with Tony, trying to find the weapon and get it before Starkwood does.

Remick, knowing Renee's telling the truth, informs President Taylor and the others, based on Renee's information, that Starkwood is responsible for the field office siege, which shocks Taylor and the others. Remick reveals Jack was framed for the murders Burnett and Mayer by Quinn. Renee ran information on Quinn, which Starkwood likely intercepted her email and seized the field office to remove loose ends. Ethan is relieved that Jack didn't kill Burnett and Mayer while Olivia was shocked by it as Taylor asks where is Jack. Remick says that he and Tony are in the Port of Alexandria, trying to stop Starkwood from getting their hands on a bioweapon Juma made for them. Taylor has Ethan to tell the Attorney General to drops charges against Jack and to call Homeland Security to the Port of Alexandria now. Remick patches Taylor through to Renee and she tells that they know about Jack being set up and she has sent Homeland Security to the Port of Alexandria to help him and Tony now. Renee thanks her and that she's going to try to solve the situation in the field office.

**10:42:22**

Back at the Port of Alexandria, Stokes and his men are preparing to load the container into a flatbed. Looking from afar, Tony tells Jack that they can go to their cars and be ready for when the truck comes out. However, Jack is checking out what they plan to do with Carl. Tony tries to convince Jack to leave him alone, Jack refuses. Stokes then tells one of his men, Cooper to give Carl his money. As Cooper is taking Carl away to an isolated area of the port, he realizes he is going to execute him. Jack is still watching from afar and aims at Cooper with a silenced rifle despite going against Tony's advice that he is violating his own "rule" that the safety of hundreds of people at risk of an biological attack is more important than saving one person. When Cooper tells Carl to turn around, he refuses to and tells him he will have to look him in the eye. When he is about to shoot, Jack kills him and Carl runs away.

Meanwhile, Mitch, one of Stokes men is checking the stability of the weapon in the container. After successfully verifying it, Stokes tells Greer to load it on the flatbed. He then tells Dolen to look for Cooper so they can leave.

**10:45:45**

When Dolen finds Cooper's body, he warns the rest and a shoot out ensues. Jack shoots a sentry and also hits Greer, who is operating the crane. The wounded mercenary still manages to put the container down, but not without knocking other containers down with it. After he succeeds, Stokes tells Reese to take the truck away. Jack tells Tony he will intercept the truck and asks him to cover him. As Jack jumps on the truck, Tony starts shooting the terrorists. After jumping onto the truck, Jack knocks out Reese and takes control of the vehicle. As Tony is trying to walk away to meet with Jack, Stokes and his men find him. When Stokes sees him, he recognizes him as one of David Emerson's men, then they knock Tony down and take him hostage while Jack listens to the exchange via Reese's two-way radio.

Back in the field office, Chloe help Renee in another hiding spot, which is the lounge, not too far from the security room and the holding cells. Then she sees one of the attackers leaving the security room and puts the silencer on her pistol. Renee tells Chloe to temporarily disable the cameras in the lounge and the holding cells. She takes the attacker at gunpoint and takes his pistol before forcing him to the holding cell. She secured to the chair with medical tape and demands information out of him. The technician refuses to answer, forcing Renee to gagged him with medical tape and shoots his right leg, causing pain. Then she kicks his wounded leg, causing even more pain. After Renee removes the gag, the technician yelled she can't torture him since she's a FBI agent. Renee clocks his face with her gun as she tells him that she has been suspended and is free to do any means necessary as a civilian. The technician confesses that they are Starkwood. Renee grabs his ears and demands to the name of the leader, which technician is afraid because Griggs will kill him if he does. Renee gags again and kicks his wounded right leg, causing more pain. Then she threatened to shot his other leg. The technician says that Griggs is the one behind the siege and that he is the leader of Trigger Force, an elite paramilitary unit of Starkwood. Their assignment was to monitor activities in the field office and raid should the FBI know about their involvement with Juma to keep them and every law enforcement agency at bay for their secret operation. Then someone inside the field office ran information on one of their own. When their bosses granted them permission to move in, Griggs ordered the attack on the field office. The technician says that he was one of the men who jammed the building's communications. Renee then asks about the number of commandos. The technician says that 42 commandos infiltrated the building and they lost nine men during the attack, which they were down to 33. But then they lost one man afterwards, which they are now down to 32. Renee corrects him that they are down to 30 since she killed two more. Renee then demanded to know how many in the security room and the technician says that they are now three in the security room. Renee lets him loose and calls Chloe to block out the surveillance cameras between the holding cell and the security room.

Once that was done, Renee takes the captive combat technician to the security room. Inside it, Schulz sends Riberio the surveillance archives of Renee's activities before the takeover and informs her about it. Then Schulz heard the door knock and the technician tells to let him in. As Schulz opens the door, Renee shoots Schulz in the head with the silenced pistol. Then she quickly shoots down the other two technicians before they can draw their weapons. She shoves the technician to the monitors and asks which one is Griggs. The technician points him on one of the monitors. Renee thanks him and does a sleeper hold on him to knock him out. She takes out the laptop and plugs into the security monitors.

**10:52:01**

As she was working on it, her phone vibrated and she took the call, which is revealed to be Jack. He tells her that he got the bioweapon, but Tony was taken by Starkwood. Renee updates him about the siege as she took screencap pictures of Griggs, Mathis, Hogan and Baker, as well the pictures of Larry, Janis and the other hostages in the conference room. She recognizes Riberio and was surprised that Sean is in with them too. She tells Jack that Riberio designed the algorithm of the field office's servers and realizes that she must've been in the server room shutting down access to the servers, which is why they never pump knockout gas in the third floor. She then tells him that everyone knows he were set up and Taylor is sending Homeland Security over to him to claim the weapon. Jack acknowledges her. She gave him some challenge codenames so he will know it's them while attaching the screencaps to the email and writing it. Jack thanks her for letting him know and he will meet Homeland Security en route. Renee then sends a email to the FBI Mobile Command Center.

At the FBI Mobile Command Center, the FBI see the message:

*Remick,*

*I've interrogated one of the terrorists. He was among those who jammed the building's communications. He confirmed to me that they are indeed Starkwood. He told me the leader's name is Henry Griggs. He's the head of Trigger Force, Starkwood's elite paramilitary unit. They seized the field office with permission from Starkwood's higher-ups. 42 commandos breached the building, 27 are left and I killed ten of them. Jack is en route with the bioweapon in the semi-truck, but they took Tony Almeida. He's heading to Highway 236. Inform Homeland Security about it. Attached here are screenshots of from the field office's surveillance cameras that shows Griggs, other operatives and the hostages.
Renee*

Remick tells everyone to get to the highway to meet up with Jack and has Stern run Griggs's name and to run facial recognition on the others. Then has Atkins to put the names of the other hostages at hostage status. Then Renee calls FBI Mobile Command Center. Mizelli says that they got the message and they running Griggs's name and sending Homeland Security to pick up Jack and the weapon. Renee then tells Remick and the others to pick up Chloe and bring her over to help them out in exchange for her freedom on the charges she is facing. After the moment, Remick says that he'll send a car for her.

At the bullpen, Griggs, Mathis, Sean and Riberio see in the surveillance archives of Renee escaping the holding cell after killing two men. Griggs realizes Renee is their intruder. Then he checks in on the radio to find Renee by searching every part of the building and kill her, which Renee overheard on Schulz's radio. Mathis checks in with Schulz's radio. Renee uses Schulz's Microtech Mini Socom Auto knife to tweak the radio. Mathis orders Schulz to find Renee on the surveillance cameras and track her down for them, not knowing it was Renee he was speaking to. After fooling him, she disables the building's surveillance cameras and locked out access to them. Renee leaves the security room and quietly makes it to the emergency stairway.

### 10:54:02

At Highway 236, Jack still drives the truck carrying the weapon as Homeland Security sedans arrive and six agents met him in route. As Jack stopped and met up with lead agent, Frank Ragsdale, he gives the rundown on the situation with the bioweapon inside the truck and Starkwood's involvement with Juma and the field office siege. As one of Frank's agents, Trevor Compton, finds a huge gash on the side of the truck. When he peers inside, he sees one of the tanks was opened and warns Ragsdale and Jack. As Jack wanted to join Compton, Ragsdale and another agent Monica Ramsay pulled him away. Knowing they are in the middle of the street, Compton willingly opens the trailer, takes a deep breath and walks inside to close the tank.

**10:55:20**

At this moment, a helicopter start shooting at Jack and the Homeland Security agents. Stokes and his men arrive at the scene. Jack and the agents shoots at them but seek cover on the bushes. Stokes and his men take the weapon out of the container and carry it away on the helicopter. As they drive away, Stokes calls Hodges and informs him they found the weapon again.

**10:58:06**

Jack and the Homeland Security agents got out of hiding. Ragsdale tells Ramsay and two other agent, Alan Harris and Angelo Benitez, to seal off the area while he makes a call to Woods, informing about what happened. Jack tells another agent, Vince Mack, to watch over Compton. Jack says Compton he was very brave, shutting a leaking tank of the bioweapon. Ragsdale says the CDC are on the way and they will wait for help. Harris and Benitez say that they blocked the area as Ramsay arrives also. Jack says that they need to get that weapon, but Ragsdale says that they'll worry about it when they get tested. Jack and the Homeland Security agents ponder what will happen.

## Quotes

* **Henry Griggs**: Nice to see everyone in there settling in. Now, remain calm and I won't be forced to a put a bullet in your brains.
* **Larry Moss**: Who are you? What do you want?
* **Henry Griggs**: We'll certainly get to that later, Agent Moss. Right now, let us show us something.
* *(Griggs turns on the TV that shows the security feed in the field office, showing the massacred field office with the bodies of many FBI personnel in all floors. The footage of the massarce causes overwhelming emotional pain and sadness among the hostages. Larry face was filled with sadness and guilt. Janis bit her lower lip, attempting to not to let the tears fall on her eyes. Griggs, satisfied with the emotional torture he inflicted on the hostages, shuts off the TV.)*
* **Henry Griggs**: You lost over 300 of your personnel and we only lost nine. The majority of your agents are either busy in the White House or doing other things.

* **Edward Mathis**: *(after executing a FBI analyst)* There's a reason why you FBI idiots shouldn't do things by the book. They do not work or make you look good all the time.

* **Henry Griggs**: Mr. Hillinger. What can you tell us about Renee Walker?
* **Sean Hillinger**: She's the Assistant Special Agent-in-Charge. She's the one who filed a subpoena to bring in Jack Bauer to help them find the CIP device that Dubaku used. From what I heard, she has been working closely with Bauer since then.
* **Henry Griggs**: Should we be worried about her?
* **Sean Hillinger**: Well, she's tough, intelligent and is capable of handling herself in just about anything. But with you guys, I wouldn't worry.
* **Henry Griggs**: Famous last words.

* (*Ethan whispers to President Taylor to stand down the agents surrounding the field office*)
* **Henry Griggs**: I would listen to what your Chief of Staff said if I would you, Madame President.

* **Larry Moss**: Who are you? Mercenaries?! You sure as hell not moles on Dubaku's payroll.
* **Henry Griggs**: Let's just say that this country has gone down the drain, thanks to those so-called politicians in the U.S. government who are tarnishing America’s reputation. Our government refuses to do what it necessary to protect this country. The FBI and many other domestic agencies are so inept and would rather follow the rules and the law to save their careers than do whatever it needs to be done to stop terrorist threats that results in severe consequences and tragedy. The government leaves young soldiers to die in battle and claim “you leave no man behind”. When our military was unable to defend this country from our enemies, we have always relied on the support of our PMC's. But now those PMC's are being threatened by the same agenda-driven, bleeding heart bureaucrats who helped run this country into the ground. So we are here to change America for the better. We have our right to form a militia to fight and overthrown the corrupt government.
* **Larry Moss**: And you think this justifies anything you believe in. You're out of your mind.
* **Henry Griggs**: Really? Then again, you seem more interested in pursuing Jack Bauer than heeding his warnings these days.
* **Larry Moss**: What are you talking about?
* **Henry Griggs**: You and the government should be trusting one of America's most decorated heroes rather than you all screw him over and now pursuing him.
* **Larry Moss**: So Bauer works for you. He arranged this assault. Didn't he?
* **Henry Griggs**: *(chuckles a little)* So you don't know. Do you? Well, let me explain something to you, Agent Moss. Not that you'll tell anyone outside of here. We send one of our operatives to Kennedy Memorial Hospital. He was disguised as an orderly. With that, he disrupted your surveillance, killed Ryan Burnett and framed Bauer for it. The evidence against Bauer was planted by our man.

* **Larry Moss**: I was a fool, Janis. Renee and Bauer were right all along about everything. I let my prejudice of Bauer and his methods get in the way. Because of me not listening to them, this happened without warning.
* **Janis Gold**: Yes, we should've listen to Renee about Bauer being set up by these bastards. But Larry, you're not the only one who is to blame for our mistakes.
* **Larry Moss**: What do you mean?
* **Janis Gold**: If I hadn't detected Chloe O'Brian deleting Ryan Burnett's name and us warning the White House about Jack interrogating Burnett there, the White House siege probably would have never happened.
* **Larry Moss**: No. Janis, there's no way we could've known about the White House siege. Not even Renee and Bauer would've know about it right away at that time. If anything, that doesn't change the fact that I let this field office fall on my watch. If these son of bitches don't kill me, the Justice Department will with my career and reputation.
* **Janis Gold**: I know. But we need to focus of us surviving this right now.
* **Larry Moss**: Yeah, we do. (sighed for a bit) Renee was right about so much today and I suspended her for something she had to do. I see that now. I should've trusted her before. But instead, I hurt her trust in me when she sided with Bauer and had Ethan Kanin override my authority. You know, earlier today, I told Bauer that rules makes us better and he replied, 'Not today'. I realize now that he was right.
* **Janis Gold**: Yeah. He's been right about a lot of things lately.

* **Griggs's combat technician**: Hey, you can't do that! You're a FBI agent!
* **Renee Walker**: *(after clocking him in the face with the pistol)* Not now I am. They suspended me. As a private citizen trapped in the building full of hostiles, I can use any means necessary to survive and force information out anyway I want.

* (*after Renee taking out Schulz and two commandos inside the security room and shoving the surviving technician to the monitors*)
* **Renee Walker**: Which is one is Griggs?! (*Then she pointed the silenced pistol on his lower spine*) Tell me which one is Griggs or be paralyzed from the waist down!
* **Griggs's combat technician**: (*points Griggs at the monitor of the bullpen*) Him. That's Griggs.
* **Renee Walker**: Thank you very much. (*then she knocks him out with a rear choke hold. Then she puts him down the floor*) Okay. Now I understand why Jack does things like that.
