Dina's been killed, and Jack (Kiefer Sutherland) is now genuinely Marwan's (Arnold Vosloo) prisoner. After some bickering with Jack, Marwan learns that the local police are looking into the disappearance of the murdered pilot's family, and comes up with a plan to distract CTU so they won't notice the report when they get it. He calls CTU and offers to exchange Jack for Behrooz (Jonathan Ahdout). CTU has no idea why Marwan would want Behrooz, so Tony (Carlos Bernard) tells Curtis (Roger R. Cross) to interrogate the boy and find out if he's withheld any information. Just as Marwan planned, the decision over whether or not to make the exchange, and the logistics of the exchange prevent Chloe (Mary Lynn Rajskub) and Edgar (Louis Lombardi) from noticing the pertinent information in the local police report until it is too late. Bill Buchanan (James Morrison) shows up from Division to oversee operations at CTU Los Angeles, and decides to go through with an exchange, putting a hidden tracking device on the distraught Behrooz in hopes of finding Marwan. Meanwhile, Anderson (Ned Vaughn) faces a setback in his efforts to steal a Stealth fighter.
