Jake devises a plan to a group of volunteers, "Four Horsemen", to search for news, but his plan is interrupted by a faint news report of similar attacks on multiple major cities. Gray Anderson, who it is later revealed had left the heart attack victim to die, publicly challenges Mayor Green, who in return privately attacks him. The town agrees Jake's plan to search for information. Jake finds a plane that has carried out an emergency landing, and returns with its flight recorder.

WHO RAN RED BELL |
Jake and Jimmy break into Robert Hawkins' house and discover many fake IDs. Jake demands that Hawkins tell him the truth, and Hawkins agrees, but warns Jake that he will regret it. Hawkins had been part of a CIA team organized as part of Project Red Bell to recover 25 stolen Russian nuclear bombs from extremist groups. Hawkins had infiltrated his assigned terrorist group enough to obtain several of the bombs, but his handler, Sarah Mason, insisted on going after all of them. When the extremists learned of Project Red Bell, they moved up their attack. Robert took his bomb (destined for Columbus, Ohio), alerted New York police about their bomb threat, and moved to Jericho with his family, as it was the designated "safe" fallback town. Jake tells Jimmy that Hawkins is an FBI agent and is to be trusted. Hawkins realizes that the government supervisor of Project Red Bell, Thomas Valente, was the same man who he saw in the previous episode. |
