"Just got off a conference call with N.S.A. And Division." "Appears there's a nuclear bomb under terrorist control somewhere in Los Angeles." "It's set to go off at some point in the course of the day." " "George, where you going?"" " Bakersfield." " "Why?"" " I don't have to tell you that." "You're just trying to get outside the blast radius." "Sir, we have a serious situation." "Taking time out "to coddle the media is not"..." "What you don't get, Eric, is that once the rumor mill starts, we've got two problems." "The last thing we need is mass hysteria." "My sister is getting married today, Ralph." "We have to establish whether there is a connection between Reza and the terrorists." "A passport would be ideal." "You'll be dropped three blocks away from the salvage yard." "We've been monitoring the yard." "We haven't seen Wald come in yet." "That's Eddie Grant, one of Wald's main go-to guys." " You haven't changed much, have you, Jack?" " What's your point?" "My point is, I'm short a man, and I'm on a schedule." " What are we doing?" " We're turning a government building into a cemetery." " What building?" " The C.T.U." "Kim, take my keys and get her away from here." " Kim!" "Stop the car." "I will kill you." " " Go.!"" "Stop the car, Kim." "Do not do this." "I need you to come over here, okay?" "Right here." "Wait for me." " I'm going to get some help." " Tell me where my daughter is, Kim." "Megan?" "Megan?" "Megan!" "Megan!" "The following takes place between 10... 00 a.m. And 11... 00 a.m." "Megan!" "Megan!" "Megan!" "Megan!" "Have you seen a little girl?" "Nine?" "Blond hair?" "Look, I'm gonna be fine, okay?" "You are Gary Matheson?" "Yeah." "It's about time you guys got here, huh?" " Where the hell you been?" " We just got the call five minutes ago." "Dispatch says you're reporting a child abduction." "Is that right?" "It's my daughter." "She took my daughter." " You wanna describe the suspect for me?" " I can do better than that." "Her name is..." "Could you stop, please?" "Her name is Kimberly Bauer." "She works for my wife and me." ""I need a description, sir."" " "Mason." - "George, it's Tony."" " "How far out of the city are you?" - "Why?"" " "I just got off the line with" Steve Lawler from District." " About what?" "L.A.P.D. Made a possible vehicle match with somebody on our watch list." " He wants you to check it out." " This is coming out of L.A.P.D.?" "Come on." "Lawler doesn't trust their judgment either." "That's why he wants you there." "Plus, he knows it's on your way to Bakersfield." "I know you're headed out there to follow up on a lead." " But Lawler wants this checked out." " What's the address?" "Before you go to your press conference..." "Rayburn wanted me to give you this updated damage projection." "These casualty figures are higher." "Sir, they have all but ruled out dirty bombs and conventional weapons." "They feel that we are actually dealing with a nuclear bomb." "Megan!" "Megan!" "" Are you nuts?"" "Hey, stay out of the street." "Megan!" "Megan!" "Get away from her!" "Get away!" "Lady, we didn't do nothing." "We didn't do nothing." "Where did you go?" "I told you to wait!" "Huh?" "I went..." "I was looking for you." "Oh, God." "Okay." "Okay." "I'm sorry." "I'm sorry." "It's okay." "It's okay." "You really think you're going to take that building down with three charges?" "It's all in the placement, Jack." " You guys spread those fuses?" " Yeah." "So, what made you target C.T.U. Anyway?" "Why you asking so many questions?" "Nothing." "I just wanna know what I'm getting into." "Really, man?" "Because nobody asked you to get into this." "When the time comes, all you gotta do is keep your eyes open." "We'll do the rest." "All right, bro?" "Whatever you say, Eddie." " Yeah?" " Dad?" " Hey, did you get my message?" " Dad, listen to me." "I left it on your phone an hour ago." "I don't have my phone." "I lost it." "Look, Gary flipped out on me." " "Can you find it?"" " Find what?" " Your phone." " Dad, I'm in trouble." "I need you to come get me." "I can't go to the police with this." " "Where are you?"" " I'm at a pay phone on Spring Street." " What's the number?" " I don't want you to call me back." " I want you to come get me." " I can't do that." "Why not?" "Why don't you go to Carol's?" "I'll call you there in the next couple of hours." " Aunt Carol's?" " Yeah." " She lives in San Jose, Dad." " I know where she lives." "Dad, you're acting really weird right now." "Look, just go there." "And for once do what I ask, okay?" " Who was that?" " My girlfriend." "I asked her to pick something up for me." "She just doesn't listen." "Tony, Jack Bauer's daughter on line five." "She sounds pretty freaked." "Hi, Kim." "This is Tony." "You all right?" "I just spoke to my dad." "He's acting all strange." " He pretty much hung up on me." " He's on a job, Kim." "Since when?" "I just saw him a couple hours ago." " Maybe I can help you out." " Well, it's kind of messed up." " I have the police after me." " Why?" "Well, l-I didn't do anything wrong." "I've been helping..." "This little girl that I've been taking care of." "Kim?" "Hello, Kim?" "Hello?" "Kim?" "Our connectiors messed up." "Look, uh, tell me where you are." "I'll have somebody come pick you up." " I can't stay here." " Can you find a way to C.T.U.?" "Yeah, I guess so." "I can take the bus." "Okay, look." "Do that." "When you get here, I'll help you straighten everything out." "Okay." "Come on." "There's noise on all the phone lines." "Yeah." "I tried to filter, and I can't get rid of it." "It may not be our system." "Today of all days." "Look, call the phone company... and switch all priority calls to wireless protocol, all right?" "Okay." "What are you trying to do, knock out their phone lines?" "Don't bug me." "I'm working." "We're causing some interference, so the phone company sends out a crew." "Maybe you go up to the road, Jack." "Keep an eye out." "Sure." "No problem." " C.T.U. Operator, go ahead." " Hello?" "Is this C.T.U.?" "Can you hear me?" "Hello?" "Damn it." " Northwest Regional." " This is Jack Bauer with C.T.U." "I need to speak with the president immediately." " Who is this?" " This is Jack Bauer." "Priority access code 7-1-1-7-A." "This is urgent." " Hold, please." " Please, don't put me on hold." " Lynne Kresge." " "I have a Jack Bauer" on the phone for the president." " He has a clearance code." " Put him through to me, please." " Mr. Bauer, this is Lynne Kresge." " I need to speak with the president." "I'm terribly sorry." "He's with the press corps right now." " Mr. Bauer?" "Hello?" " Listen to me." "C. T.U. 's phone lines are down." "I need you to get them an urgent message." " What is it?" " "C. T.U." "Los Angeles is going to be" blown up within the hour." " Wald's group is doing it." " Is this the nuclear bomb?" "No, it is not the nuke." "I repeat, it is not the nuke." "But you need to evacuate C.T.U., and you need to alert a bomb squad." " There are at least three charges on the second..." " Jack?" "All set, Jack." "I applaud Governor Schulman's diligent effort... to protect Oregon's endangered species." "His work with the Natural Resources Defense Council has created a new paradigm..." "Wald's crew is planning to blow up C.T.U." "Los Angeles." "It is a nonradiological attack, and it is happening within the hour." " Where did you get this?" " Jack Bauer." "They're hitting C.T.U. To cripple their investigation..." " divert attention away from the major strike." " I agree." "Has Bauer contacted C.T.U.?" "He couldn't get through." "Phone lines are down." "Somehow we have to warn C.T.U." " No." "No, we don't." "We can't." " What are you talking about?" "If Wald's crew fails, they'll think somebody tipped off C.T.U." "They'll figure out it was Bauer." "Are-Are you seriously suggesting that we just let these people at C.T.U. Die?" "Jack Bauer called with specific instructions..." "Why isn't he stopping them himself?" "He knows he's got to keep his cover intact." "He knows if he's exposed he can't get to Wald... and we lose our only chance to find the nuke." "Eric, this is the president's decision." "Except right now he's trying to convince the press it's business as usual." "We've already detained Ron Wieland illegally... we can't muzzle the entire press corps." " We still have to tell the president." " And we will... when he's in a position to hear it." " It will be too late by then." " Lynne, this is my call." "I don't work for you." " Jenny Dodge." " Jenny, it's Lynne." "I need to speak with the president immediately." " He's in the middle of a press conference." " Jenny, I don't care." " This is urgent." "I want to speak with him now." " Okay, I'll try to get to him." "Hey, look at this." "Someone cut the chain." "Get on the radio to dispatch." "Have them send security out." "What is this?" "Who are you?" "Don't move." "Don't move." "What's your name?" "What's your name?" "Look at me." "What's your name?" " Cam Strocker." "Is that your name?" " Yeah." "Okay, Cam." "Look at me." "You wanna live, Cam?" "Cam?" " "Cam?" "Cam?"" " Yeah?" " "You wanna live?" "Okay."" " Yeah, yeah." "This is what you're gonna do." "You're gonna call your boss." "Tell him you need an on-site systems check at C.T.U. Headquarters." " You got that?" " Yeah." "Can you do it?" "Can you do it?" "That's a good answer." "It's Eric Rayburn from N.S.A." "Mr. Rayburn, this is Tony Almeida." "I understand you're the ranking agent on-site." "Is that correct?" " Yes, sir." "It is." " Then I need you to execute an order." "Of course." "I want you to copy and transfer your database onto our server." "Anything related to the nuclear threat." " Did you hear me?" " Yes, sir." "I did." " May I ask why?" " It's precautionary... given the extraordinary threat we're facing today." "But I would like it done sooner than later." " How soon?" " By 11:00." "Sir, the earliest I can get that done is by noon and that's shifting personnel." " You have until 11:00." " Sir, that may not be enough time." " Then you probably should get started." " Thank you, sir." " Paula?" " Yeah?" " "I need to pull you off" your sim analysis." " I'm almost done." "I need you now." "I want you to sort and send data to the N.S.A. Server." "Everything relevant to the nuke, okay?" " When do you need it done?" " "Right now."" "Okay." "I'm going to have to generate a fresh encryption code." "I'm gonna need Mr. Mason's office." ""He's the one with proprietary access"..." " Just do it, please." "Thank you." " Okay." "Tony, what's going on?" "I mean, first the phone lines go down... and then N.S.A. Puts in a rush order for us to transfer all our data on the nuke?" "He says it's precautionary." "Then he would have issued the same order to every other agency." " Look into that, would you?" " Yeah." " How you doing?" " George Mason, C.T.U." "Arroyo, L.A.P.D." "Barber here made a vehicle match from the alert you guys put out this morning." " You checked inside yet?" " "We were about to."" "But our captain made us stand down until you got here." "Relax, Sergeant." "I wanna be here even less than you want me here." "Cut it." "Hello?" "What's this?" "Nice." "You okay in there?" "Got a man down in here." "Get out of the building." "Get out of the building!" "Call Hazmat and NEST." "Have them set up a quarantine." "I think we've got a hot zone." " You okay?" "Yeah?" " Mm-hmm." "Does your mom cry a lot?" " I don't have a Mom." " Where is she?" " She passed away." " "Oh."" "But you have a dad, right?" "Do you make him mad?" "Sometimes." "I always make my dad mad." "No." "When your dad gets mad, it's not because of you." " But he always says it is." " Well, he's wrong." "I promise you he's wrong." "Everything's gonna be okay." "Okay, Megan?" "I'm never gonna let him hurt you again." "You know the drill." " How's it going?" " How's it going?" "I'm just doing a system check and some line repair." " Let me see your work order, please." " My office just called." "They spoke with your operations guy, McKendrie." "He says you've got some serious noise on your lines." " Let me see your I.D." " Sure." "Doing fine, Cam." "Isn't he, Jack?" "Yeah, he's doing great." " Is the back open?" " Just my crew back there." "I still need to look." "Go ahead." "It's open." " " There's a lot of you." - " It's a big job."" "It's all clear." " All right." "Go ahead." " "Thanks."" "Guys, have your I.D.s ready for security up ahead." "You know, this isn't a bank." "There's nothing to steal here." " " We're not stealing anything."" " Then why are we here?" "We're fighting a war." "We're taking back our country." "From who?" "Who are you people?" "Jack, tell him who we are." "We're patriots." "Kate, it's for you." "Some guy named Ralph Burton." "Oh, thanks." "So who is he?" "A new boyfriend?" "Maybe." "Why can't I ever get a straight answer out of you?" "Can you just give me the phone?" " Hello." " Kate." "Did you check the passport information I gave you?" " I did." " And?" "I'm afraid it confirms that Reza Naiyeer has had contact with Syed Ali." "What does that mean?" "Are you saying Reza's a terrorist?" "The authorities need to determine that." "Authorities?" "What authorities?" "I had to alert Homeland Security, Kate." "What are they gonna do?" "Are they gonna arrest him?" "I'm not sure yet." "But until I hear from them... please, keep this to yourself." "I have to tell my sister." "No, you can't tell her or anyone else about this until you hear from me again." " I don't believe this is happening." " I know it's hard... but, just try to act normal." "My sister is marrying someone who works for terrorists... and you expect me to act normal?" "You could endanger yourself and your family if you let on... that anything is wrong, do you understand?" "Kate?" "Yeah." "I understand." " Kate, come with us." " Not right now." "My cousin Sanjar just arrived from Detroit... and we wanted you to meet him before he headed out to the hotel." " You know, I can meet him later." " Oh, no, come on." "You'll recognize him." "He was at Stanford the same time you were." " And he's cute." "Come on." " No, really." "It's not..." "No!" "I said no!" "Kate?" "Kate, what is your problem?" "I'm sorry, Marie, I just..." "I'm sorry." "I didn't mean to do that." "What did you mean back there?" "You've been acting really weird all morning." "What is it, Kate?" "Tell me, what's going on?" "You're my little sister, and I love you so much." "I just want you to be happy." "That's it." "Well, then be happy for me." "Okay?" "That'll make me happy." "Because this is gonna be the best day of my life." " Yeah." " Yeah." " No crying." " I'm sorry." " I'm getting married." " I know." "I'm sorry." " Jenny?" " Yes?" "What are you doing here?" "I told you I need to speak to the president." "The president wants me to draft a statement anticipating a nuclear event." " Why haven't I heard from him?" " He's still on camera." "I told you this was urgent." "You are his press secretary." " You should have slipped him a note." " I did." "Ma'am, I'm sure as soon as the president can extricate himself, he'll call you." "All right." "Thank you." "Sir, right this way." "Let's get those portable units in here now." "Looks like the lead in Panorama City turned out to be real." "Some kind of lab where they may have assembled the nuke." " Based on what?" " They found radioactive material." "What kind of radioactive material?" "They're still doing field analysis on it." "They don't know." "Was anyone exposed?" "All of them in the bag for containment." "They're putting us through decon now." "Precautionary measure." "Let's get a move on." "Look, we have three dead bodies." "I'm gonna send you photos and fingerprints on 'em." "See if they match up with anybody on our watch list." " Your phone, sir." " George?" " Tony, I'm gonna have to get back..." " Hey, George?" "Look, um..." "N.S.A. Ordered us to send them our case database." "Now, Paula's already on it, but, I get the feeling... they're keeping us out of the loop on something." "It's standard procedure to consolidate data from all agencies." "That's just it." "We're the only agency they've asked." "Sir, the phone." "Yeah." "Look, Tony, I gotta go." "Call Chappelle and tell him what you just told me... and see what he can find out for you, but I gotta go." " George, you sure you're okay?" " I'm fine." "I'm fine." "I need all your clothes off." "Not even going to buy me dinner?" "All right, check him over at hoses." "Easy, guys." "I like my skin." "Try to leave some on, all right?" "Did you finish exporting those files to Division?" "No, it's in process now." "As soon as they finish uploading I'll send an encryption key." "Okay, good." "Paula, are you all right?" "Yeah." "I was..." "I was a little nervous, but Tony said everything's probably gonna be okay." "I grew up in L.A., you know?" "I mean... my whole family is here." "My friends are here." "So, if this bomb goes off, what does that mean then?" "All of a sudden everyone's just gonna die?" "No." "Not necessarily." "I mean... it depends on a lot of things." "Yeah." "That's probably right." "Well, I should check the upgrade." "Paula?" "Are you gonna be okay?" "I guess so." "I'm really scared, but there's nothing I can do about it, right?" "It's fine, Michelle." " Are you gonna kill me too?" " Not today." "Just relax." "Just relax." "I'm not gonna hurt you." "I'm trying to stop this thing." "I need your help." "Two cars over, there's a large, gray SUV." "I want you to hide under it and wait until we go." "After we've gone, I want you to take this back in the building." "Go to security, ask for Tony Almeida." "It'll show him where the bombs are located." "Almeida knows what's going on." " He'll know what to do." "Now go." " What are you talking about?" "Who are you?" "I'm a government agent." "I'm working undercover." "Now go!" "You work for the government?" "You let them kill Danny?" " It happened before I could stop..." " You son of a bitch!" "Listen to me." ""You" listen to me." "I'm sorry about your friend." "I am." "But we are in a very serious situation right now." "So you better get your ass under that car right now." "You understand me?" "Because these guys are gonna be back in a minute." "If you're still here, they will kill you, and I won't be able to stop them." "Do you understand?" "The lives of everyone in this building are at stake right now." "So, please, get that message to Tony Almeida." "Come on." "Go." "Go!" "Where's your boy, Eddie?" "Jack?" "Jack?" "Jack!" "What happened?" "Where's the guy?" "Look at me." "What happened?" "Jack!" "Look at me." "What happened?" " I don't know." " Where's the telephone guy?" "I don't know." "I was looking out like you asked me to." "The next thing I know, you're slapping me in the head." "Okay." "So listen, what are you telling me, Jack?" "Are you saying you let the son of a bitch go?" " I didn't tie him up." " "You're saying it's my fault?"" "Do you believe this guy?" "He walks in off the street, then breaks Dave's ankle..." " Hey, hey." "Back off!" " You punk!" "Back off!" "Shut up." "Jack, get in the front of the van." "Get in the front." "We got seven minutes until this building goes down." "Get in!" "Hi." "My name's Kimberly Bauer." "Tony Almeida's expecting us." "Okay." "He'll take care of you." " Where are we?" " Don't worry." "We're safe here." " How much time have we got?" " Four minutes." "Unless the phone guy already pulled the alarm." "Chris!" "Leave it alone." "Don't tell me to calm down." "The press conference ended five minutes ago." "The president was supposed to call me the very minute that..." "What are you doing, Lynne?" "It was you, wasn't it?" "You told Jenny to keep the president away from me." "I spared the president from a no-win situation." "The people did not elect you to make that choice, Eric." " It's too late." " Maybe not." " Get out of my way." " Don't do this, Lynne." "You do not want me for an enemy." "I promise." " Are you threatening me?" " Just giving you some strong advice." "What's going on?" "Jack Bauer called." "He said that Wald's crew is planning to blow up C.T.U." "It's a non-nuclear strike, which suggests that it's a secondary target." " When is this happening?" " We're not sure." "Bauer got cut off." " Have you contacted C.T.U.?" " That's what we were debating." " Debating?" "Right now, Wald is our only thread to finding the nuke." "But Bauer hasn't gotten to Wald yet." "If we stop Wald's crew, they may realize it was Bauer that turned them in." "In the meantime, I'm having C.T.U. Transfer their intel... so our only losses would be infrastructure and personnel." " Those losses are unacceptable." " Sir..." " Contact C.T.U. Immediately." " Yes, sir." " You think I'm making a mistake." " I do, sir." "Tony, that guy over there, he's asking to see you." "He claims he was taken hostage by these men that want to blow up C.T.U." "He said there are bombs planted here, here, and here." " I'll have a squad check it out." " Order an evacuation now." " We don't know if this guy's..." " This is why N.S.A. Wanted us to transfer over our database." "They knew we were being targeted." "We have to evacuate now." " " Everyone." "Listen up."" " Almeida." "This is Lynne Kresge." "I'm Special Assistant to President Palmer." "I'm calling to tell you about a possible threat to C.T.U." "We just found out about it." "N.S.A. Knew about this a half hour ago, didn't they?" " That's why Rayburn wanted our files." " Just get your people out." "Yeah, we're on it." "Come here." "I want you to go down this hallway... all the way to the elevator, calmly clear everybody out." "Watch your step." "Leave your valuables behind." " What's going on?" " We're evacuating." "Come on." "I'm looking for Tony Almeida." "I'm sorry." "You'll have to wait." "You gotta go right now." "Thirty-five seconds." "No." "Leave your things behind." "Go!" "Come on." "A little faster." "Come on." "Get out of here." "What are you doing?" " I'm almost done with the encryption." " Leave it!" "There's a bomb." " We can't lose this data!" " Would you leave it!" "Come on!" "Let's go!" "Come on." "Hurry!" " We did it, Jack." " Good job, Eddie." "Good job." "Excuse me." "We're too late." "C. T.U. Was just hit." "It's okay." "You're clean." "Then why so grim?" "The tests are back from the field analysis." "The substance you inaled is..." "well, it's plutonium." "Based on the particle size, the atmospheric saturation... the length of time you were exposed..." "Cut to the chase, Doctor." "Your radiation exposure level's high." "Definitely lethal." "How much time do I have?" "Could be as much as a week, or as little as a day." " I'm sorry." " Yeah."
