Danny's Proof on Jamil Bari

Danny Concannon thrusts this proof into C.J.'s office, declaring it ties the U.S. government to Abdul Shareef's crashed flight through pilot Jamil Bari. He grips the evidence tightly during their tense standoff, demanding to publish while C.J. counters with national security pleas and secures a brief delay. Carol stands by, eyes wide, as Leo joins to assess the threat.

Danny's Ultimatum on C.J.'s Couch

Danny's proof (on Jamil Bari) functions as the scene's MacGuffin and the leverage he wields: he claims possession, names the pilot, and uses it to justify imminent publication. The document is invoked but not shown on camera, keeping tension high and information partially withheld.

Before: In Danny's possession (travel-acquired evidence from Augsburg/Boston).

After: Remains in Danny's control; not surrendered to C.J. during the scene.

Danny's Bombshell and C.J.'s Tactical Delay

Danny's proof on Jamil Bari is the catalytic prop: he brandishes it as the factual weapon that justifies immediate publication. Its presence converts banter into crisis and forces C.J. to treat the claim as potentially credible and dangerous.

Before: In Danny's possession, recently acquired during his reporting trip (from Augsburg/Boston).

After: Remains with Danny; he refuses to immediately relinquish full access but offers C.J. a short window to consult Leo before publication.
