"If Hassan dies, there is no agreement." "If I didn't know better, I'd think you were hoping for that to happen." "Jack thinks that someone inside of CTU is working for the terrorists." "Jack recovered Tarin's cell phone." "If someone did call him, we can get the number off the memory." "It's Dana's phone." "I spoke to Hastings." "He cleared me through, Jim."

"SAMIR:" "Just read the statement, Omar." " You will renounce the peace agreement." " I will never do that." "MAN:" "He's stronger than we thought." "Prepare the Internet feed." "I will tell the world his crimes." "SAMIR:" "This man is not our president." "He's an arrogant..." "HASTINGS:" "Jack, looks like Samir's wrapping it up." "You need to get in there now."

"I trust there was nothing you and your team could have done differently." "No, ma'am." "President Hassan was dead before we even got there." "Then you don't owe me an apology." "I failed you, ma'am." "It was Hassan's choice to surrender himself in order to save American lives." "It was out of your hands." "Don't put this responsibility on yourself." "Madam President, you need to keep this peace agreement alive." "There can't be any agreement when the IRK is without a leader, Jack." "The hardliners there will take advantage of the vacuum... and reverse all the progress we made with Hassan." "I'm gonna have to address the delegates in a few minutes... and announce the dissolution of the peace summit and formally release them." "Ma'am, if you give up, it means they win." "I don't see another choice, Jack." "I wish to God I did." "Goodbye, Jack." " What's his condition?" " He took a round to the shoulder... another to the abdomen, but it exited." "BP looks steady." "We need this guy for questioning." "Is he gonna make it?" "Doesn't look like any vitals were hit." "He'll live." "We'll transport him back to CTU." "Medical will take him from there."

" What's the status on Samir?" " Still unconscious." "EMT say he'll make it." "I want you to stay with him." "I'm handing over complete responsibility for his transport to you."

"I'm sorry it ended up like this, Jack." "Me too." "You're a good agent, Cole." "I wouldn't be standing here without you." "Thank you." "I hope everything works out." "I'll hang my kit up downstairs." "[DOOR OPENS]" "WOODS:" "Madam President." "The delegates are assembled in the lounge, as you requested." "Let's get this over with." "WOMAN [OVER TV]:" " Discontinue the peace summit  that was to be a cornerstone of her administration." "President Hassan, apparently, had been kidnapped earlier and then taken to this..." "Jamot." "On behalf of my country... you have our deepest sympathy for this terrible tragedy." "Though, on a personal level, I imagine you have mixed feelings right now." "I beg your pardon?" "Hassan had you arrested without cause during his purge of suspected enemies." "Allowed you to be brutally interrogated." "I would think you have little love for the man." "President Hassan was under tremendous stress and he lost his way." "But I never stopped believing in what he stood for." "Of course, I meant no offense." "I'm sure you didn't." "Excuse me." "President Taylor." "Minister Jamot." "If you can spare a few moments, I need to speak with you." "I'll be happy to sit down with you after I've addressed the other delegations." "I know you intend to announce the end of the summit." "There may be a way to prevent that from happening." "Before you do anything, I need you to hear what I have to say." "All right." " Ma'am, what about the delegates?" " Just give me a moment." " Let's go in here." " Please." "REPORTER: ... not learned the identity of the terrorists in the video  holding Hassan hostage." "Federal agents knew that the broadcast was coming..." "Yes?" "Samir's men were all dead thanks to the Americans." "Samir was the only one left, but I took care of him." "So there's no connection to us, we're in the clear?" "Maybe not." "There was a woman there who might have recognized me." "What woman?" "She may be CTU, I'm not sure." " But I've seen her face before." " Where?" "Six years ago when we were using that mobster, Vladimir Laitanan... to smuggle military weapons out of the country." "She was with him." "Are you sure it was her?" "I don't forget faces." "Where is she now?" "In a taxicab just ahead of me with Jack Bauer." "Bauer?" "Are they going to CTU?" "I don't think so, no." "Then it seems unlikely she recognized you." "Better not to take the chance." "I'll take out Bauer too while I'm at it." "The Americans believe the IRK were solely behind the recent attacks." "Killing Bauer and this woman... would alert them to the fact that others were involved." "How long before they discover it was us?" "It will take even less time if this woman remembers me." "What are my orders?" "Continue to follow them." "Keep them in sight." "And I'll get back to you." "I don't have the words to tell you and Kayla how sorry I am." "I know you did everything in your power." "Jamot, I wasn't aware that you were here." "I only arrived a short time ago." "I want you to know that in our last few hours together..." "Omar expressed his regrets to me." "Not the least of which was his treatment of you." "I appreciate that." "Mrs. Hassan, I realize our timing is intrusive... but there's something we need to discuss privately." "Did you find him, President Taylor, the man who killed my father?" "Samir Mehran." "Yes." "He was badly wounded, but he'll live to stand trial." "And, believe me, he will pay dearly for what he's done." "Kayla, darling, I need to speak with President Taylor alone." "Give us a few minutes." "What is it that you wish to talk about?" "Mrs. Hassan, as you know, for almost a year... your husband and I worked to make this peace agreement a reality." "Now, in that time, I saw the kind of leader he was." "He managed against difficult odds... to bring a fractious and contentious parliament together." "But now that he's gone, your country is going to be thrown into turmoil." "I am aware of the challenges that we are facing." "Why are you telling me this?" "Clearly, someone needs to take the reigns of the IRK government." "Someone who believes in the same ideals and principles as Omar Hassan... and who shares his strength." "Minister Jamot believes that, that person should be you." "What?" "I'm not the only one who believes it." "I have spoken to our delegation... as well as with the other members of our cabinet back home." "You represent our best." "Our only real chance to preserve our government and your husband's agenda." "You are out of your mind." "I am no politician." "But you're a martyr's wife... and history has proven that to be something far more powerful." "You have always been popular with the people." "The vast majority of them want peace." "They will rally around you." "The Council of Guardians will have no choice... but to recognize you as successor to the presidency." "But I have a choice." "You assume too much of me, Jamot." "I realize that this is a lot to consider." "Especially now while you're grieving." "But without a unifying figure to hold your country together... everything your husband worked for will be for nothing." "President Taylor, my marriage to Omar was far from perfect." "We had many problems for a very long time." "I know only too well... how difficult it is for a marriage to survive a life in politics." "But through it all, I never stopped loving him." "Or sharing his desire for better relations with the West." "If it is the will of my people... and of my government..." "I will take my husband's place at the peace conference." "It will be my honor to stand with you." "We'll make the announcement together from the United Nations." "Mrs. Hassan, thank you." " She's going to do it." " Incredible news, Madam President." "I want every delegate contacted personally." "Tell them to cancel any plans to leave the country." "We are returning to the U.N." "Yes, ma'am." "I'll also call CTU and implement those changes we discussed." " Lf I still have your permission." " That's your decision." " Do what you think is best." " Yes, ma'am." "Where's Bauer?" "Jack left the scene, took Renee with him." "Hassan's death hit him pretty hard." "Samir's been taken to Medical." " Is he conscious?" " Barely." "Let me know the second he's ready for questioning." "[HEADSET BEEPS]" "MAN:" "Sir, Wilson's on the line." " Put him through." "[PHONE RINGS]" " CTU, O'Brian." " This is Tim Woods, Homeland Security." "CHLOE:" "Hold on, I'll put you through to Mr. Hastings." "Actually I'm calling to speak with you, Miss O'Brian." "Me?" "Are you sure?" "I know this is an unusual circumstance so I'll get to the point." "President Taylor and the foreign dignitaries are returning to the U. N... where the President will move forward with the peace agreement." "What?" "Excuse me, but how can she do that without President Hassan?" "I'm not at liberty to say just yet." "But our immediate concern is whether CTU is capable... of handling security for the rest of the process." "It's been infiltrated by an enemy agent... and compromised more than once today." "We cannot have any more mistakes." "Are you suggesting I'm responsible for those mistakes?" "On the contrary, I reviewed the hourly reports, and from what I see... you made some astute calls... and proven to be very resourceful throughout this crisis." "Okay." "So why are you calling me?" "I'm relieving Brian Hastings of his post immediately." "We're in the process of vetting candidates to replace him... but until we find someone, you'll have provisional command." "You're putting me in charge?" "For the time being." "I know your record at CTU's L.A. Branch... and how important you were during the Sangala crisis." "Nobody in that building has more experience than you." "You're making a mistake." "What happened with President Hassan... and everything else, wasn't Mr. Hastings' fault." "Chloe, I don't have time to debate this with you." "Division feels you're the most qualified to step in and I agree." "My decision's made." "Now accept it and let's move on." "Does Mr. Hastings know?" "WOODS:" "Division's informing him as we speak." "Just try to make the transition as quick and painless as possible." "I'll be in touch as soon as the president arrives at the U.N." "Yes, sir." "[KNOCK ON DOOR]" "Come in." "Mr. Hastings." "It's okay, Chloe." "I want you to know I don't think it's fair what they're doing." "Laying all the blame on you." "Everything that happens here is my responsibility." "The successes and the failures." "I recruited Dana Walsh into this agency." "I let the snake into the garden." "I need to review protocols with you." "Let's not waste any time." " Did you live here long?" " No, just during my recovery." "You know, I still think I got some coffee around here." "What's her name, your granddaughter?" "Teri." "Kim named her after her mom." "Jack, listen." "I know that we've said a lot of things to each other... and you've made promises to me about..." "I just want you to know that I'm not gonna hold you to them." "It's been a terrible day." "I know we say things in the moment, and I just..." "I don't want you to..." "[RATTLING]" "Hello?" "Is somebody there?" "[GRUNTING]" "Take my briefcase to Marine One... and tell Secret Service I'll be ready to leave shortly." "And send Mr. Novakovich in." "Yes, ma'am." "Mr. Novakovich." "Thank you for seeing me, Madam President." "Not at all." "What can I do for you?" "I just had a curious phone call from Tim Woods... indicating that you are intending to move forward... with the peace initiative with the IRK." " That's correct." "May I ask how you propose to do this considering their leader is dead?" "Well, I intended to answer that question during my address to the assembly... but since you're asking..." "Dalia Hassan will be signing the agreement in her husband's stead." "That's an interesting idea, Madam President... but I don't see how she would have the authority to sign such a document." "She's getting it from her government now." "Their parliament called an emergency session... to ratify her as provisional president." "The letter confirming that is forthcoming." "Madam President, I appreciate your optimism... but I don't understand how you can believe... that installing Hassan's widow as some kind of figurehead... will alleviate our concerns about the instability of the IRK government." "With President Hassan dead, the opposition will only get stronger." "Hassan's death will galvanize his supporters... and every advocate of this peace process... to endorse her as his successor." "You can't be certain of that." "Once again, Mr. Novakovich... you're giving every indication... that Russia has no interest in this peace accord." "I'm sorry that you feel that way, Madam President." "The fact remains that we are no longer confident... that any meaningful progress can be made." "Respectfully, my country will be declining to sign your peace document." "Excuse me." "Do I need to take this up with President Suvarov myself?" "If you like, but I can assure you, I have full authority on this matter." "Any decision that I make... represents the formal position of the Russian government." "Good day." "Agent Peters, I need to see Secretary Kanin now." "PETERS:" "Yes, ma'am." "Liberty's on the move." "We managed to clear a blockage in one of your coronary arteries." "The x-rays show the heart muscle tissue damage to be less than we expected." "In other words, I'm a tough son of a bitch." "You're a lucky man, I'll say that for you." "That means I can resume my duties." "Although the procedure was noninvasive, I'd prefer you take it easy for a while." "That isn't a no." "Hello, Ethan." "How are you feeling?" "Well, I've seen better days." "Would you give us a few moments, please?" " Of course." " Thank you." " You heard about Hassan?" " Tim Woods told me." "He also filled me in on the IRK plan to install Dalia Hassan." "What do you think?" "Her family is well-connected and powerful." "I think it's an inspired idea." "Well, the Russians don't." "Novakovich told me, in no uncertain terms, they won't accept her." "They're using it as an excuse to pull out of the signing." "Even if the IRK has a new leader... the peace agreement won't stand without Moscow's endorsement." "I need your help, Ethan." "You got the Russians to the table." "What can I do to keep them there?" "There may be someone who can help us here." " But you're not gonna like it." " Who?" " Charles Logan." " Logan?" "Ethan, you can't be serious." "The man is a criminal." "I don't care if he was pardoned." "I didn't agree with President Daniels' decision either." "But the fact is he's left several messages at my office over the past hour." "Apparently, he's aware of the Russians' reticence in signing the agreement." "He's offered his assistance." " How could he possibly know about this?" " Despite his political downfall... he's managed to maintain a uniquely close relationship with Moscow." "His messages indicated he has information... which might prove useful in keeping the Russians at the table." "What information?" "He didn't say." "Allison, I don't trust this man any more than you do... but I'd be remiss if I didn't urge you to at least hear him out." "[SIGHS" "Okay, listen up everyone, please." "I've never been very good at goodbyes." "But I wanna tell you what an honor it's been for me... to have served with each and every one of you." "Division is now vetting names to replace me." "In the meantime, Chloe O'Brian will be in charge." "And I'm sure you will show her the same level of loyalty and commitment... that you've all shown me." "Thank you." " Sir..." " Don't worry, Chloe, you can do this." "I hope so." "I just wanna say, we had a rough start... but I eventually really enjoyed working for you." "Well, I'm happy to say that I was wrong about you." "If I had listened to you, maybe things would have turned out differently." "I doubt it." "I'll be at Division debriefing." "I'm available to you if you have any questions." " Thank you, sir." " Good luck." "Mr. Hastings, I have Agent Ortiz on the line." "They have a situation in Medical." "This one's all yours, Chloe." "Miss O'Brian." " Cole, it's Chloe." " Where's Hastings?" "He's not here." "What happened?" " Samir's just gone into cardiac arrest." " What?" "DOCTOR:" "I need 4 milligrams epinephrine, and 275 lidocaine." "I'll be right there." "Clear." "Going again?" "MAN:" "Going again at 360." "Clear." "[EKG FLATLINING]" "Nothing." "MAN:" "Doc?" "I thought his injuries were not life-threatening." "So did I." " Where the hell is Hastings?" " He's been removed by Division." " Who's in command?" " I am, until they find a replacement." " You were with Samir the whole time?" " From the scene, yeah." "What about at the scene?" "He may have been out of sight for a few minutes." "Emergency personnel were with him." "We gotta move his body for an autopsy." "Not yet." "Order a preliminary toxicology panel." " They'll run a panel during the autopsy." " I want it now." "He was barely conscious." "He couldn't have taken something." "No, but somebody could have given it to him." "Do what she says." "I'll be in Hastings' office..." "My office." "Let me know when you find something." "A few of the more conservative members of our delegation... may continue to resist you... but we can persuade them." "Perhaps if I spoke to them personally." "A very good idea." "[KNOCK ON DOOR THEN DOOR OPENS]" "Miss Kayla, I didn't get a chance to tell you how deeply sorry I am." "Thank you." "Well..." "I will see you both back at the U.N." "The U. N?" "I thought we were going home." "Not yet." "There are new developments." "I'll explain them to you on the way." "What is going on, Mother?" "Why did President Taylor and Jamot want to speak with you alone?" "They have asked me to consider staying on to complete your father's work." "I don't understand." "What does that mean?" "Our party wishes to appoint me as the new president." "What was your answer?" "You told them you couldn't accept, not after what's happened." "Kayla, our country is on the verge of a coup... by the people responsible for the murder of your father." "Someone must lead." "You can't beat them." "Don't you realize that by now?" "I don't believe that." "I won't." "The greatest blow I can strike against them is to sign the peace agreement." " This will be your father's legacy." " It will be a death sentence for you." "You want peace to live, but all these people want is anarchy." " Mama, they'll kill you." " Enough!" "You are not the only one who has suffered today." "This was not an easy decision for me, but it was mine to make." "I do not need you to remind me of the danger." "I need you to help me be strong." "Now pull yourself together." "There is a car waiting for us." "I'm sure the media wants a response, but I'm not ready to give them one yet." "They'll have to wait." "All right." "Thank you." "The press secretary says the Russians are already leaking to the news... their intention to reluctantly pull out of the talks." "They don't like wasting time." "Has my guest arrived?" "I had Secret Service bring him in through the freight entrance... and then deliver him discreetly to Conference Room 3, as you asked." " Thank you, Tim." " Yes, ma'am." "Madam President, let me convey my condolences... on the loss of President Hassan." "I know you worked closely with him." "This must be very hard for you." "Thank you for your sympathy, Mr. President." "If you don't mind, I'd like to talk to you alone." "This is my executive assistant, Jason Pillar." "I assure you he can be trusted." "Forgive me if I don't give much weight to your endorsement." "He needs to leave." "Excuse us, Jason." "Let's get something straight." "I agreed to this meeting only at the behest of Secretary Kanin." "Now, I'm not sure you're entirely aware of the situation." "My understanding is the Russians are rejecting Dalia Hassan... as a legitimate successor, and as a result, won't sign the peace agreement." "You're well informed." "I have close friends in Moscow." "In some ways, people there appreciate me... more than the people in my own country." "It wasn't their constitution you trampled." "The Russians have been trying to back out of this agreement from day one." "Do you honestly think your relationships can change their minds?" "I'm certain I can." "How?" "Let's just say I'm going to be able to exercise some leverage." "What kind of leverage?" "If it gets the job done, does it really matter?" "It does to me." "I can promise you no laws will be broken... nothing will tarnish you or your presidency... but the details really must stay between me and the Russians." "You and President Hassan created the framework... for the most significant peace in a generation." "And you got the entire world behind it." "To let the Russians tear down... what should be the crown jewel in your administration..." "Don't play me." "This is about you trying to repair your reputation." "Is that so hard to understand?" "You participated in a conspiracy... to cover up the assassination of David Palmer." "I was trying to protect the country from an unnecessary trauma..." "Don't." "You were doing what was best for yourself." "Yes." "You're right, Madam President." "You're right." "I suppose I've spent so many years trying to justify my actions... that it's become difficult for me... to own up to the truth." "I made mistakes... terrible mistakes, that stained the office of the presidency... and for which I will be paying the rest of my life." "But I still can be of value to my country." "I can still do some good." "Look, we both know... you wouldn't have called me unless you were out of options... so we can continue to dwell on the past... or you can let me pursue the only chance you have... of resurrecting the peace process." "Please." "Let me help you." "All right." "Thank you." "What do you intend to do first?" "Arrange a meeting with the Russian delegate, Novakovich." "Get a message to him at his hotel." "Tell him that you are sending over your official emissary to have a talk with him." "What if he doesn't agree to this meeting?" "Make sure he knows it's me." "He'll agree to it." "God help you, if you make me regret this." "[PHONE RINGING]" "CHLOE:" "O'Brian." "You okay?" " Perfect." " Promise?" "Mm." "[CHUCKLES]" " I am so thirsty." " Me too."

"Don't worry about it, let it go." " Hello, Jack's phone." " Renee, it's Chloe." "I need to talk to Jack." "RENEE:" "What's wrong?" " Samir Mehran is dead." "I think he was assassinated." "What do you mean assassinated?" "I ran a preliminary toxicology report." "It showed traces of an unidentified toxin in his bloodstream." "Someone must have injected him with it, probably at the scene." "There was an EMT there." "He looked familiar." "There was so much going on, I didn't take much notice." "Familiar?" "From where?" "I need you to get my FBI case files." "Get me everything you have on Red Square." "You think he was from the Russian mob?" "He looked like somebody who was with Laitanan during the time I was under." "That was six years ago." "Are you sure?" "No." "Just send me the case files, all the surveillance photos that were taken." " I'll see if he's in there." " Okay." "Jack, you need to hear this." "Samir..."

"I need a trauma team at St. Andrew's now." "Hold on." "Just stay with me." "Come on." "Let's go." "Keep everybody in the lobby." "There's a sniper outside." "Call 911." "Now!" "Move!" "She's been shot." "We need to get to St. Andrew's hospital, 22nd and 9th." "Look at my eyes, we're gonna make it." "Breathe, just breathe." "[HORNS HONKING]" "We're gonna make it." "We're gonna make it, I promise." "Do whatever you have to." "We've gotta get to the hospital now." "[HORN HONKING]" "No, no." "Come on, come on." "I got you." "I got you." "I got you." "No, no, no." "It's gonna be all right." "We're almost there." "They're a few blocks from your hospital and should be there any minute." "Please make sure she's given priority care." "Thank you." "Arlo, pull up satellite." "Isolate the areas between 8th Avenue and West 18th Street." " What's going on?" " Renee Walker was shot." " What?" " Just do what I asked." "Jack said the sniper was positioned at his apartment at 1145 West 18th Street." "Roll back the feed." " Is she gonna be okay?" " He's rushing her to the hospital now." "I don't get it." "Why would anyone wanna kill Renee?" "Help!" "She's been shot." "There's no exit wound." "NURSE:" "Gunshot wound to the chest." "Move." "WOMAN:" "Trauma 2, standing by." " What's her pulse?" "NURSE: 110, respiratory is still ragged." " Check her carotid." " BP is 80 over 50." "MAN 1:" "Clear the whole place." "MAN 2:" "Right here." "WOMAN:" "What do we have?"

" Jack, it's Chloe." " How is she?" " Not good." "We rolled back satellite to the area around your building." "The shots were fired from an office across the street." "P.D. Reported finding a body at the scene." "What about the shooter?" "We don't have anything." "We lost him." "You were on the phone with her... before she got shot." "What were you talking about?" "It's not important right now." "Just be with her." "She's in surgery, Chloe, I can't." " What were you talking about?" " I told her what I'm calling to tell you." "Samir Mehran was given a lethal injection at the scene of his capture... probably to keep him from talking." "Renee thought she may have recognized one of the EMTs." " She didn't say anything to me." " She wasn't sure." "She didn't think it meant anything at the time." "Where'd she say she remembered him from?" "From her days undercover with the Russian mob." "She asked me to get her the Red Square file." " Did you pull up the file?" " Yes." "[DOOR OPENS]" " Jack?" " I gotta get back to you." "I'm sorry, she didn't make it." "There was just too much arterial damage and blood loss." "I'm very sorry." "[GASPS]" "[SOBS]" "Looks like scheduling that speech at Columbia was a stroke of good luck." "There's no luck, only readiness to seize an opportunity." "Someone famous said that." "Sun Tzu?" "Charles Logan." "Ha-ha-ha." "PILLAR:" "Your time away's served you well, sir." "Yes." "Yes, I believe it did." "I haven't felt this strong since my California congressional days." "Well, this is just the prelude to your renaissance, sir." "[LOGAN CHUCKLES]" "Wait until you deliver the peace accord on a platter." "They'll celebrate you as a hero in Washington as well as in Bidar." "I like the sound of that." "Perhaps I'll finally have a proper ceremony... at my presidential library after this is all over." "Did Taylor agree to the conditions?" "Of course." "She really didn't have any choice." "I don't think Novakovich will be as amenable." "Mikhail is as much of a cut-rate politician as he was a cut-rate minister in the KGB." "I knew him when he was monitoring wiretaps coming out of Azerbaijan." "I don't think that he's gonna be any obstacle." "Besides, he knows I'm not afraid to go over his head to Suvarov." "Our asset at the hotel reports that Taylor's message of your arrival... was relayed successfully." " Good." "Let Mikhail sweat for a few minutes and be in a perfect position... to agree to my proposal." "You don't think he's prepared for that?" "No." "If anything, he's expecting, you know, your standard muscle job." "Uh, photos of his vacation in Odessa with his mistress." "Those shots of his son's drug use in that Moscow club."
