"Has Bauer arrived at CTU?" "No, not yet." "I need you to clear an entrance." "Why are you tracking Jack Bauer?" "What the hell's going on here, Spenser?" "I was following orders." "I'm sure if they're tracking Jack Bauer, they have a reason." "BAUER:" "This man is a professional assassin." "He just killed Dr. Paulson." "He tried to kill me." "Did you let him into CTU?" "!" "They told me he was here to place a tap on one of the servers." "That's all I knew." "Who told you?" "The White House." "Mr. Cummings." "David Palmer was murdered because he was about to expose" "Walt Cummings' connection to the terrorists." "You want the nerve gas?" "Cummings is your connection." "McGILL:" "Cummings is the President's chief adviser." "How exactly do you suggest we get to him?" "I could secretly meet with Mike Novick." "JACK:" "Who did you tell?" "Who did you tell?" "!" "I didn't tell anybody, Jack!" "Tell your men to stand down!" "I'm sorry, sir." "We can't do that." "Put your hands in the air!" "Sentox gas is being smuggled out of the country by separatists who think they're going to use it against the Russians." "However, that nerve gas will never reach Russian soil." "And you know this how?" "We control the remote detonators on those gas canisters." "As soon as they've reached the terrorist base, we'll trigger the canisters by satellite and release the gas." "You're a traitor." "You'll let things play out as they are." "Otherwise, your administration will be implicated, and your presidency will be destroyed." "Mr. President, my name is Jack Bauer and I'm sorry to have to confront you like this." "But your Chief of Staff is withholding information that is vital to this nation's security." "Stop this!" "I'm done talking with you." "You understand me?" "So for the last time, where is the nerve gas?" "Stop!" "Stop!" "Stop!" "Stop!" "I'll tell you!" "I'll tell you!" "It's on a freighter leaving the port of Long Beach at 2:30." "CTU, we've located the target container." "No hostiles present." "You have a green light." "Take possession of the canister." "Open 'em up." "Let's go." "Open 'em all up." "Empty." "Next." "Moving on." "What do we got, nothing?" "!" "There are no gas canisters here, CTU." "The nerve gas is not here." "Where are the canisters?" "I've told you everything." "We know you've altered the arming codes, Mr. Cummings." "Erwich, listen." "We can negotiate something." "I don't negotiate with my enemies." "I eliminate them." "Your country is about to pay a very steep price for betraying us." "I was approached six months ago by a man named James Nathanson." "He was my contact." "Who is he?" "Former CIA." "Said he was recruiting like-minded individuals for this initiative." ""Initiative."" "Is that what you call this?" "You helped terrorists acquire weaponized nerve gas!" "I told you we were gonna trigger the canisters once the separatists reached their base in Central Asia." "This was not supposed to happen." "But it happened!" "You got into bed with these people, and now they're threatening to use the gas on American citizens!" "Oh, you make it sound like our goal was to kill Americans!" "What the hell was your goal, Walt?" "Explain that to me." "We're patriots, Mr. President." "We were acting in the best interests of this country." "How is any of this in our best interest?" "Shoring up a strategic partner in the war on terror, ensuring a stable flow of oil." "How is any of that not in our national interest?" "WOMAN:" "Chloe O'Brian's on the line." "Chloe, are you set up for the trace?" "All set, Jack." "We're ready to call Nathanson." "How long do I have to keep him on the line?" "Until I give you a signal." "Chloe, dial the number." "The line's been disconnected, Jack." "There's nothing to grab onto." "They must know something went wrong." "He's gone dark." "Damn it, Walt!" "I don't want this weapon deployed on US soil any more than you do, but Nathanson cannot help you now and neither can I." "These terrorists are operating on their own." "Mr. President, I think he's telling the truth." "He can't help us, not anymore." "Aaron, get him out of here." "Yes, sir." "Jack." "What do we do now?" "I need to be debriefed." "After that, I'm leaving, sir." "Given the current situation, things have become more complicated." "CTU is gonna have to be responsible for the retrieval of the canisters." "Why are you leaving?" "Sir, I have a daughter that doesn't know that I'm still alive." "If I have to disappear again, in all fairness to her," "I don't think she should know." "Jack, terrorists just threatened to deploy chemical weapons on US soil." "They have the ability to kill millions of people." "I understand that, Mr. President, and I believe that CTU can handle this." "Jack, your experience can make a crucial difference in stopping them." "Look... you and I have a complicated history." "I realize that." "And I'm not naive enough to expect any special personal allegiance from you." "But I know your respect for this office and your concern for this country is just as strong as it was when you served under David Palmer." "I'm asking for your help, just until this crisis is over." "I will reinstate you." "I will give you all the support you need." "Mr. President, you and I..." "Jack, please!" "For God's sake, we need to recover this nerve gas before it's too late." "Micro-circuitry on this remote has been tampered with." "As far as I can tell, unless we can repair it, we can't arm the canisters." "Rossler will have a way." "He should have called by now." "Our real enemy is Russia." "We should be figuring out another way to get back home, not wasting time trying to use the gas against the Americans." "Question my orders again, and I will kill you." "Do you understand?" "They've closed the ports." "They will hunt us until they find us." "So if we cannot use the gas against Russia, we will use it against America." "Get up." "( phone rings )" "Hello?" "Lynn?" "Jenny, now is a really bad time." "Yeah, I know you're busy, but I need to see you, please." "What is it?" "I need some help." "You mean money." "Lynn, I'm clean." "I'm working two jobs and busting my ass to put my life back together." "How much?" "$500." "Can I, can I come over there?" "Absolutely not." "Why?" "Are you afraid I'll embarrass you?" "Yeah, I am." "Lynn, I got nobody else to turn to." "You know, I can't go back on the street again." "If you don't help me," "I swear I'm going to hurt myself." "For God's sakes, Lynn, I'm your sister." "All right, listen." "Jenny, listen." "There's a parking lot across the street from CTU." "I'll meet you there in 20 minutes." "Okay." "Thank you, Lynn." "( sighs )" "Sorry I'm late." "BUCHANAN:" "I was just explaining that" "Cummings provided us with a schematic of one of the canisters." "Triggering mechanisms on the canisters can only be activated via satellite relay." "Cummings says the terrorists have been given invalid detonation codes." "Then these canisters are useless to them." "Unless they can find a way to control the triggering mechanism." "McGILL:" "Are we running evacuation scenarios?" "Evacuation isn't feasible, not without a time frame or a target." "Erwich's threat was intentionally vague." "What are we doing to track these canisters?" "Chloe?" "I pulled a voice print from Erwich's call to Cummings and I'm doing a scan of all satcom chatter." "If Erwich is in contact with anyone on that bandwidth, we should be able to intercept and trace the call." "We better get lucky 'cause we just got a new assessment from Civil Defense." "They're estimating that the nerve gas from each canister will create kill zones between one and three square miles." "The terrorists are in possession of 20 canisters." "We're talking about potential casualties in the hundreds of thousands, perhaps over a million." "( phone rings )" "Yeah?" "Ivan Erwich?" "Go ahead." "Jacob Rossler." "I was asked to call you by a friend in Moscow." "You've been briefed on our situation?" "You need to reconfigure the remote trigger for an Aatox chemical delivery system, right?" "Yes." "You have the canisters with you?" "Yes." "You'll need to start by cutting into them." "Listen carefully to my instructions." "( phone rings )" "O'Brian." "WOMAN:" "We just got a pattern match." "Send me the hit." "All interagency search protocols are being run through CTU." "Ken, no one is going around you." "All right, I'll make sure that you're apprised in real time." "Audrey, I thought you should know." "Logan has asked Jack to be reinstated on a provisional basis." "He's been given full autonomy and access." "We got a possible intercept on Erwich." "This just happened." "ROSSLER:" "On the inner casing, you will find a display window with a seven-digit readout." "I'll need them." "ERWICH:" "And then what?" "ROSSLER:" "I will program a new chip for your remote trigger." "Put me through to Jack Bauer." "Voice print is a 95% match." "It's Erwich." "EDGAR:" "He was on a sat-phone." "I can't trace it, but the call originated from a landline downtown." "This is Bauer." "Jack, we may have a lead on Erwich." "I'm listening." "We intercepted a call between Erwich and an unknown associate." "We weren't able to trace Erwich, but we may have a location for the associate." "22 North Figueroa, a penthouse." "Chloe, bring up the building manifest." "See who's in there." "On it." "From what we heard, Erwich is trying to acquire some kind of activation code." "Yeah, he's trying to reconfigure the trigger mechanism so he can disperse the Sentox." "Bill, we're running out of time." "Okay, the penthouse is leased to a man named Jacob Rossler." "Cross-checking." "He's a software programmer indicted for high security code infiltration, identity theft." "Never convicted." "Okay, I'm gonna need schematics on the building and vectors for every entrance." "We'll have it for you by the time you get there." "Bill, we're going to need to go in covertly." "Have Curtis meet me at the location with a small team of four." "But tell them to stay out of sight until I get there." "Right." "We'll be in touch." "This is our new destination." "They'll clear a landing zone for you." "Mr. Buchanan, this building's security system uses proprietary technology." "It's a high-end platform." "It's a bitch to hack into, especially with the time constraints we're under." "So, get Edgar to help you." "Spenser is better." "Chloe, absolutely out of the question." "CHLOE:" "Spenser can do this faster than Edgar and I put together." "He wrote an infiltration code that took us four months to hack." "That's a bad idea." "CHLOE:" "Stay out of this, Edgar." "He didn't know Cummings was dirty." "His polygraph proved that." "He's was spying on us." "He was spying on you." "He lied to you." "Sir, if you don't let Spenser help us do this, we're not going to get it done in time." "He has to wear a security wristband and be under constant supervision." "Fine." "( phone ringing )" "Audrey Raines." "Audrey, it's Jack." "Hey." "Listen, I wanted to tell you myself, the president asked me to stay on until the canisters were retrieved."

"Listen, Audrey, the reason why I called:" "I need to ask you to do me a favor." "What?" "Kim doesn't know I'm alive yet." "I don't want her to find out the wrong way." "Do you want me to tell her?" "No, I just want you to call her and bring her in to CTU." "I'll see her when I get back." "All right." "Are you sure you're comfortable doing this for me?" "Of course." "Thank you." "Sure." "Yeah." "Well, your swing arm needs to be replaced." "With parts you're looking at $475." "Yeah." "We're open till 5:00." "Okeydoke." "Can I help you?" "Do you have some kind of precision tool for cutting metal?" "Sure." "Where is everyone else?" "Lunch." "Why?" "I need you to do some work for us." "And we need it done fast." "If you do it, you'll live." "Do you understand?" "Yeah, yeah." "Just take it easy." "Why haven't I gotten an update?" "Bauer left here on some sort of lead." "Find out if CTU is any closer to recovering the nerve gas." "Yes, sir." "How are you feeling?" "Remarkably well... for someone whose husband tried to have her committed without so much as a good-bye." "I'm sorry." "I didn't come here to fight with you." "You have every right to." "The two of us used to be a pretty good team." "Do you remember?" "I was the one you would always come to first for advice." "I remember." "We've got to get back to that relationship, Charles." "You're right, things are going to get rough for you." "And you are going to need me and everything that I can give you." "I don't know what to say, Martha." "Don't you ever do that to me again."

"I'd like you to resume your duties." "Of course, sir." "Thank you, Mike." "( sighs )" "CTU is in the process of tracking down the canisters, but we still have to deal with the issue of Walt Cummings." "It's all right, Mike." "I would like Martha's input on this." "So what do we do about Walt?" "We can't detain him indefinitely." "Maybe not, but we can keep him out of sight long enough for us to construct a credible narrative." "Mike... are you talking about a cover-up?" "I mean, exercising discretion to spare this country unnecessary humiliation." "Walt Cummings was complicit in David Palmer's assassination." "He has allowed these terrorists to get their hands on weaponized nerve gas that is at this point With respect... a very real and present threat" "With respect..." "Mrs. Logan, if we go public with Cummings, the president's reputation won't be the only casualty." "The credibility of this office will be destroyed." "Charles, you are going to take a hit on this." "But you won't be destroyed." "You did nothing wrong except to trust someone who betrayed you." "You are human." "You might be overestimating the public's capacity for forgiveness." "No." "I'm not." "The only thing they won't forgive is being lied to." "I think you should issue a statement to the press, and the sooner the better." "I agree." "Why don't you and I work on it together, see what we come up with." "Great." "Chloe." "Go to Station 3." "We don't have much time." "Thanks for getting me reinstated." "I only did it because I need your help getting Jack through the high-security building, not because I forgive you because I don't." "Have a seat."

"Stand by to take out all security cameras that are covering the front desk and the elevators." "I can only shut them down for 60 seconds." "After that, they will reboot automatically." "That's as long as you have to subdue the lobby guard." "Copy that." "Teams A and B, you will remain in a holding position till you get a "go" code." "We are three minutes out."
