Just as Chloe picks up the phone two cops knock on the door responding to a neighbors call. As Jack tries to explain the situation to one cop, the other tasers him to the ground and informs his partner Jack is a cop-killer.

Hastings asks Reed about the key card. Eventually she tells him about her romantic relationship with Hassan. Hastings calls Weiss to get try and get Hassan on the phone.

Jack is able to get the jump on John down in the basement. John's partner Phillip hears the commotion and comes down with his gun drawn. Not sure who to believe, Phillip calls in the situation. On the suggestion of Jack, he asks about Jim's assignment for that day.
Arlo finishes decrypting the files on Reed's computer. They call over Hastings to view what appears to be plans related to a construction project which took place at the UN eight months earlier. It seems to indicate bombs may have been installed in the UN's main chamber. Hastings calls for an immediate evacuation, while Chloe suggests these plans might be fake and simply another part of the assassination plot.
Cole begins the evacuation and takes charge of Hassan detail. Cut to Davros who uses his phone to active a bomb located underneath a manhole in the middle of a nearby street.
After Hassan is loaded into a vehicle, Farhad calls Davros to tell him exactly which car his brother will be in the procession. Farhad gets into a different vehicle with Hassan's wife and daughter.
Phillip learns that Jim had called in sick and that a cop named Mike covered the shift. His story having checked out, Phillip lets Jack out of a squad car and fills him in. Jack immediately realizes this other cop is the assassin and has Phillip drive him to the UN. On the way Jack tells Chloe what's happening and has her patch him through to Cole. Jack explains to Cole he must get Hassan's car off the street or the president will die. Cole speeds ahead in the procession and cuts off Hassan's vehicle just before it reaches the manhole and Davros sets off the charge. Both cards flip into the air as the hour ends.
