At 9:56:05, Chloe exits the office through the opposite door and updates Cole on the situation, such as it is. Cole wonders what's going on, and Chloe tells him to get his teams ready for the press conference already. I'd wonder about shift changes, but I guess Cole's already had his time off for the night. Still waiting to see if any of that ever blows back on him, but we're running out of time.

In the security tunnel, the presidential motorcade has gotten itself turned around, which probably took up the whole time Taylor was in there. As it carries Taylor away, Arlo is on the main floor wondering, "So Jack's being taken away for a debrief? About what, may I ask?" "No," Chloe says flatly. Heh. Into her headset, a helicopter pilot announces, "Director O'Brian, this is Falcon One, touching down at CTU." Of all the frightening moments 24 has given us over the years, I can't think of many more terrifying than hearing Chloe addressed as "Director O'Brian." The helicopter can be seen on the big screen, landing on the helipad in an overhead shot from a camera that's either on a surveillance satellite or a major pain in the ass for pilots to maneuver under. Chloe copies and says Kiefer's on his way up with security personnel now.
