Jack (Kiefer Sutherland) tells Audrey (Kim Raver) that Paul (James Frain) was shot while saving his life. Paul is flown in to CTU, where surgeons try to save him. Audrey seems to be rediscovering her feelings for her husband. Heller (William Devane) tells Keeler (Geoff Pierson) that Marwan (Arnold Vosloo) is probably going to strike again, and Keeler suggests they make provisions for civil unrest. CTU finds the name of Joseph Fayed (Adam Alexi-Malle) on the document retrieved from McLennan-Forster, and he's on their terrorist watch list. Jack comes up with a plot to have Dina Araz (Shohreh Aghdashloo) approach Fayed for help (even though she insists she's never met the man, because Marwan has been careful to keep his cells separated), claiming that she took Jack hostage during a firefight. Dina agrees to help when Jack promises to put her and Behrooz (Jonathan Ahdout) in witness protection together. Jack and Dina go to Fayed's home, and Dina convinces him to contact Marwan. Fayed sends his men to pick them up, but CTU's attempts to track them go awry. Anderson (Ned Vaughn), with help from a mysterious woman (Dagmara Dominczyk), abducts a pilot, and then uses him to get into a military base. Back at CTU, Sara's been ousted and Edgar (Louis Lombardi) seems despondent over his mother's death. Tony (Carlos Bernard) tells Michelle (Reiko Aylesworth) that Driscoll canned Chloe (Mary Lynn Rajskub) over her loyalty to Jack, and Michelle decides to call her back to work. ~ Josh Ralske, All Movie Guide

In this tech-thriller from director Phil Alden Robinson, a group of five renegade computer hackers, led by Martin Bishop (Robert Redford), are hired by the government to steal a black box, containing a code-breaking machine, from the mathematician who invented the device. The government is able to persuade Martin to take the job by convincing him that they will drop a decades-old federal warrant for his involvement in computer fraud. Martin agrees and he takes his team on the mission, eventually taking the box. Shortly after the hackers have stolen the device, the mathematician turns up dead. Before long, the quintet realize that they've gotten themselves into more than they'd originally bargained for, as Bishop's old rival Cosmo (Ben Kingsley) enters into the fold. The eclectic ensemble also includes River Phoenix, Sidney Poitier, Dan Aykroyd, David Strathairn, Mary McDonnell, and James Earl Jones. ~ Matthew Tobey, All Movie Guide

Hunter (Fred Dryer) and McCall (Stepfanie Kramer) take temporary leave of the streets of LA and head down to Malibu, there to investigate the death of a thoroughbred race horse and the murder of a groom. At first it appeared that the horse had gone berserk before he died, but it turns out that the animal had been slipped a deadly drug--the same drug that cost the groom his life. The two detectives have quite a time solving this one, with more suspects and motives than they can shake a stick at! ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
