He falls captive with Lance Corporals John Halley and Raymond Rowe after an ambush by 50 Kundu National Army fighters. General Vahorean's disclosure of their names on a newscast personalizes the crisis, forces President Bartlet's return to Washington, and ignites White House deliberations on rescue amid a ticking ultimatum.
