A shocked Senator Palmer learns that one of his associates may be willing to commit murder in order to protect his campaign.

A man named Andre Drazen contacts Gaines. Clearly disappointed that the morning's events did not go as planned he threatens to relieve Gaines of his assignment. Across town, Jack kidnaps Cofell and, after hearing Cofell's Serbian accent, has Nina break into an old case file profiling a secret mission Jack was on in Belgrade and Kosovo two years ago. Then Jack meets Cofell's contact: the man who claimed to be Alan York.
