"Mr. President, Jack Bauer just called with some new information." "He claims to have evidence that proves the Cyprus recording is counterfeit." " I'm calling off the attack." " Stopping and restarting... this military action could cost tens of thousands of American lives." "An acceptable risk if the alternative is waging war... against three innocent countries." "What do you know about Section Four of the 25th Amendment?" "If the majority of his cabinet feels he's unfit to fulfill his duties... the president could be removed from office." "And the vice president becomes acting president." "As far as I'm concerned, it's Prescott who should be charged with treason." " I was afraid you'd say that, Lynne." " Mike!" "Till you hear from me, do not let her out." "I think I can lure them away from here, so you and Kate can get the chip to C. T.U." "Meet me at Moorpark and Vineland." "If I'm not there in 15 minutes..." " you get that chip to Tony Almeida." " Yusuf!" " Behind you!" " "What'd I tell you?" "He's a damn towelhead!"" "Stop it!" "Tony, we got the evidence that proves the Cyprus audio was forged." "It's a C.P.B. Memory chip that contains the original source recordings." "Do not kill him until he talks." "Jack, I need the chip." "It's not for sale." "My answer's final." "When Ronnie's finished working on you, you'll give me another." "The chip, Jack." "He's dead." "For viewers just joining our special broadcast... the White House has confirmed the blast in the Mojave Desert... that occurred four hours ago at 10:59 p.m. Pacific Standard Time... was, in fact, a nuclear explosion." "We'll stitch you up and get you out of here and on your way." " What are you doing here?" " Looking for the epinephrine." "This is a treatment room." "I have a patient." "Where's the epinephrine?" " Storage room." " Let's go." "Clear!" "Nothing." "Go again." "Increase the joules." "You're not gonna die on me, you son of a bitch." "That's Kingsley." "You talk to him." " Yes?" " Let me talk to Stark." " He's a little busy right now, sir." " Did Bauer give you the chip?" " No, sir." "Not yet." " What's taking so long?" "It's under control, Mr. Kingsley." "What am I hearing in your voice?" "Answer me, Raymond." "Well, Stark pushed Bauer a little too far." "He's flat-lining." "Whatever he broke, he better fix." " And if Ronnie can't handle it, do it yourself." " Right." " Where's the epinephrine?" " Doctor's got it." "If you don't revive this man, you're dead." "I need your men to put him on the gurney." "Put him up on the gurney." "Give him as much as he can take." "Let's go, let's go!" "What are you waiting for?" "Do it!" "Give him the paddles!" "Clear!" ""He's still in v-fib."" "Hit him again!" "Clear." "It's too late." "It's not gonna work." "Hit him again!" "Clear!" "" Come on." "Come on."" "I got a sinus rhythm." "I need a Baxter set, a bag of normal saline." "What did Kingsley say?" "He said I just got promoted." "Hey, Jack." "You thought death would save you." "You're not gonna die until I kill you myself." "Now where's that chip?" "We'll be convening the cabinet within the hour." "Does the president have any idea what's going on?" " I don't think so." " Let's keep it that way." " It's critical he doesn't find out." " It's not going to be that easy." "Lynne Kresge was about to warn him, but I was able to intervene." "Where is she now?" "I had to put her under guard." "I know it's difficult." "It's difficult for all of us." "I just hope we're doing the right thing." "Mike, do you think these are the circumstances... under which I wish to assume the presidency?" "You know me better than that." "This country was attacked with a nuclear weapon... and the president will not commit to a military response." "I hope you're not wavering yourself." "No..." "I'm not." "Good." "So your responsibility is to make sure that... the cabinet votes to remove him from office." "I have a responsibility to make sure the vote takes place... not to manipulate the outcome." "Poor choice of words, but my point is the same." "You're doing the right thing, Mike." "History will recognize that." "Anything from Jack Bauer?" "Uh, not that I've heard." "Mike..." "I know you think delaying a military response is the wrong call." "Only because you're relying on a single source." "Jack Bauer says he has evidence that we're being manipulated into this war." "I have to give him the opportunity to produce the proof." "If there were anything I could say to make you change your mind..." "There isn't." "Look, Mike." "I know this is an unpopular decision." "And even though you don't agree either, your standing by me means a great deal." "Send Lynne into my office." "She's gonna help me draft my statement." " I'll see if I can find her." " What do you mean?" "She wasn't feeling well." "She took a few minutes downtime last I heard." "That's fine." "Let her rest." "I'll go over it with Jenny." "Please open this door." "Whoever you are, you are conspiring... against the President of the United States of America." "Do you have any idea what that means?" "Hello?" "You have no idea what's at stake here!" "Please open the door!" "Hey, get his wallet." " How much?" " He's got a couple hundred." " Come on!" " Let's go." " What's this?" " "All right, let's get out ofhere."" " Come on!" " Take it." "Let's go!" "" Get in the car." "I'm driving."" " Chip." " Wait!" "Wait!" "You took something from him." "It's mine." "What are you doing with him anyway?" "You think he's got money?" "Only thing worse than these bastards in our country, is people like you." "No, no, no, it's not like that." "I just need that plastic case you took from him." " This?" " Yeah." " This?" " Yeah." " What is it?" " It's got information on it." "It's not worth anything." "Please, come on!" "Give it to me." " What will you give us for it?" " I'll pay you." " I've got money." " How much?" "It's not here." "It's at my house." "Forget it, Marcus." "Let's just go." " Where's your house?" " Hancock Park." "It's not that far from here." "Come on." " Come on." " Yeah, let's do it." "Let's go get your money." "First, I'm gonna put him out of his misery." "No." "No!" " This is for messing with our country." " " Oh, please!"" " No!" " "Marcus, man." "Come on."" "" Come on." "Let's go."" "I'm sorry." "All circuits are busy." "Please try your call again later." " " Give him more epinephrine."" " He's already had too much." " You don't want to strain his heart." " He's strong." "He can handle it." " Now, prepare a syringe of beroglide." " Beroglide?" " It'll collapse his lungs." " Just do it." "Now, this beroglide stuff, it's amazing." "This will paralyze your diaphragm... and you'll slowly suffocate." "You'll feel like you're drowning..." ""until you tell me where the chip is."" "I already told you." "I don't know where the chip is." " " Kingsley wants to talk to you."" " I'll be right back." "Help me loosen the rope." " What?" " Help me undo the rope." " I can't do that." " He's on the phone." "The other guys are far enough away they'll think you're working on me." "Please, this is the only chance we've got." " He'll kill me." " He's gonna kill you anyway." "These men were willing to kill millions of people earlier tonight." "I am the only chance you've got to get out of here alive." "We don't have any time." "Come on!" "Do it!" "Feed it through the bottom." "Hurry." "Hurry." "He's coming." " What are you doing?" " I had to disconnect his I.V. First." " Get the beroglide." " Yes, sir." "Start him off with two cc's." " Mr. Chappelle." " Hi, Michelle." "Is Tony in his office?" "He went to I.T. He'll be back in a minute." " What's the status on the phones?" " Grid's down over most of the city." " How about wireless?" " Cell service is pretty much out too." " You using satcom?" " Yeah." "Save satcom for your highest priorities." " We're sharing it with half a dozen other agencies." " Okay." " Tony!" " Hey, Ryan." " Good work." " Uh, good work on what?" "I know Bauer's trying to change our position on the Cyprus audio." " That's not exactly true." " Whatever." "You don't have to explain." "I'm just glad you're not letting the tail wag the dog." "Ryan, uh, Jack may not be wrong about this." " He's in the middle of an investigation..." " I don't want to hear that." "We're about to bomb the Middle East into next Wednesday." "We're supposed to be processing intel to support that operation." " I've got most of my people on it already." " I want "all" your people on it." "Ryan, don't you think we need to eliminate... any reasonable doubt about the authenticity of this recording?" "Your department has already authenticated that recording." "Don't make me the bad guy here, Tony." "George Mason may have recommended you to direct C.T. "U..."" "but you'll need my blessing to stay on." "I assume that's what you want." "What I want is to do what's right in this situation." "What's right is to follow the chain of command." "Put everyone on domestic response." "No!" "Get off!" "What do you mean you can't get through to him?" "I'm sorry, Mr. President." "His office said he's temporarily unreachable." "Unreachable?" "I want him now." "I'll try again, sir." "Aaron?" " Yes, Mr. President?" " Close the door, please." "How many administrations have you worked for?" "I came in on Reagan's second term." "I haven't been able to establish contact with my vice president in the last half hour." "What do you make of that?" "I wouldn't know how to respond to that, Mr. President." "I just pulled our bombers out of the air against everyone's recommendations." "Now my vice president suddenly is unreachable." "Should I draw any conclusions?" "Sir, I'm not qualified to give an opinion on that, sir..." "Aaron, you've been doing this nearly 20 years." "You know how the system works." "Is Prescott planning something behind my back?" "I'm going 20-10." "Please cover position three." "Roger that." "For what it's worth, I think the choices... you've made today have been the right ones." " That's not what I asked." " Sir, there are always those inside the administration... who feel that delay is a weakness." "If enough individuals share this point of view, then..." "Aaron, is Prescott coming after me?" "I'm not sure." "But you have good instincts, sir." "I'd listen to 'em if I were you." " Thank you, Aaron." " Yes, sir." "Max is very unhappy." "Max can be unhappy." "We're all entitled to our feelings." "Peter, spare me your usual metaphysical observations." "Our entire project depends on a military action the president just suspended." " For now." " Now is all that matters." "Now you're being metaphysical." " Peter..." " Palmer's not going to be able... to withstand the political pressure from his own administration... let alone the will of the people." "He's not gonna have any choice but to respond to the nuclear weapon." "You're assuming, of course, that this man Bauer... hasn't already delivered proof to his people... that the Cyprus audio was false." "Bauer won't be a problem." "Tell me where the chip is..." " I'll make it stop." " You're gonna kill him." "No." "But he'll wish he stayed dead." "I'm all done playing games with you." "Now tell me what I want to know!" "Tell me!" " "They'll hear you upstairs." - "Shut up and close the door!"" "Fill the syringe and double the dosage." "I'll tell you where the chip is." "Where?" " Again." " It's in..." " It's in a..." " What?" "What'd you say?" "They're taking the chip to..." "They're taking it where?" "Stay down." "How much longer does he got before he's dead?" "As long as 15 minutes." "You tell me who was on the other end of that phone, and I'll make it quick." "Peter Kingsley." " You wanted to see me, sir?" " Yes, close the door, please." "Have a seat, Mike." "I've been feeling a little disconnected from my people in the last hour." "Mr. President, I've been trying to manage... theJoint Chiefs and Homeland Security..." " "but if you want me closer..."" " Not you, Mike." " Back in Washington." " Who?" "Prescott." "I think he's avoiding me." "With what we've gone through in the last 18 hours... l-I'm certain he's just being pulled in 10 different directions." "We were, and in some ways still are, on the brink of war." "I'm the Commander in Chief." "When I call, there's only one direction." "Absolutely." "I'll get him on the phone right away." "Do that." "Oh, and Mike?" "This statement that Jenny made a pass on, it's not working." " Well, what's the problem?" " The facts aren't updated." "And I don't thinkJenny's been apprised of everything." "I want Lynne to go over it." "Why don't you give it to me?" "I'll get it to her." "Thanks, Mike." " Prescott." " It's Mike Novick." "Can you talk?" " Yeah." " Are you going forward or not?" "Of course." "Nothing's changed." "Well, then, the sooner you can execute, the better." "We're going as fast as we can here." "David Palmer is not a stupid man." "He knows something is going on." "It won't take him long to figure out what it is." " How does he know?" " For one thing, you haven't returned his calls." " I'll call him now." " I think that's a good idea." "Mike, I'm counting on you." "You got to keep him busy until I can get everyone together." " How much longer?" " A half hour, 45 minutes tops." "The sooner the better." "I'm all alone out here on this." "He's starting to ask about Lynne Kresge." " I can't keep up the act much longer." " You won't have to." "Just hold your mud, Mike." " C.T.U., Dessler." " Michelle, it's Jack." "I need to speak to Tony." "Ja..." "Jack?" "Michelle, I don't know if you can still hear me." "Kate and Yusuf have got the chip." "I'm going to our agreed meeting place at Vineland and Moorpark... just in case they're still waiting for me there." "Michelle?" "Damn it." "Jack?" " Tony." " What's up?" "A call just came through." "I think it was Jack." " What'd he say?" " We lost the signal." " You try him back?" " Yeah, I put an autotrace on the number..." " in case he gets through again." " Go to dispatch." "See if they picked it up in a log." " Find out if it was a cell or a landline." " Okay." "Yes, sir." " What's that all about?" " Jack Bauer just tried to contact us." " We lost connection." " I told you, I don't want Bauer... distracting you or your resources." " Whatever he's doing out there is irrelevant." " I'm not so sure it is, Ryan." "Jack says he's got proof that the Cyprus audio was fabricated." "Says he's bringing it here within the hour." "If he's got proof, let him produce it." "But I want you to keep your eye on the ball, Tony." "Jim, we both know you've been one of the most outspoken opponents... to my decision to call off this attack." "Any criticisms I may have had have been expressed behind closed doors... out of reach of any public scrutiny." "I know we haven't had a chance to talk one-on-one since all this began." "So if you have something to tell me, go ahead." "There is nothing, sir." "My door is always open, Jim." "If you have something to say..." "I would expect you to bring it to me first." "Of course, Mr. President." "Thanks for getting back to me." "I still don't trust him." "What do you want me to do?" " I'm sorry to interrupt, sir." " What is it?" "Lynne Kresge is injured." "She fell down some stairs." " What happened?" " We're still not sure." "It appears she may have been running from a fire in an upstairs room." " Is she okay?" " On-site physician says she's critical." "Show me where." "So, uh, what'd you find out from Dispatch?" "Jack called me from a cell." "Came from somewhere between Encino and Studio City." "Okay, so he was at an urgent care center..." " right around here about two hours ago." " Yeah." "If he was coming to C. T.U., he probably would have taken the 101 or the 5." " Want me to pull up a satellite?" " No, that'll just raise a red flag with Chappelle..." " "the last thing I need right now."" " What about police channels?" "Even if he couldn't contact us, maybe he tried someone local." "Can you monitor those without being detected?" "Yeah." " All right." "Focus on the downtown precincts." " Okay." " Yusuf!" " Jack, they took the chip." "What are you talking about?" "Who's they?" "Where's Kate?" "They took her to her house." "Hancock Park." "She offered to exchange money for the chip." "Come on." "Let's get you out of here." "Jack, I'm not going to make it." "Go get the chip, Jack." " Yusuf, just hang on." "Just hang on." " Go get the chip..." "Yusuf, come on." "Yusuf, hang on!" "Yusuf!" "Yusuf, I'm sorry." "I'm sorry." "All right, let's go." "Everybody be cool." " Do you live here?" " Yes." " By yourself?" " Yes." "Damn." " I don't have my keys." " Is this really your house?" "Yes." "There's a spare key under the pot." " Get inside." "Come on!" " She's setting us up, man!" "Get in here!" "Get in here!" "Shut it off." "I said shut it off!" " Shut it!" " What's the code?" "5-1-2-2-4." "5-1-2-2-4." "Show us where the money's at." "Doctor, what's her status?" "She's sustained some sort of neurological damage." "We won't know the extent until we get her to the hospital." " Will she live?" " It's too early to say." " Can I talk to her?" " Mr. President, that may not be a good idea." " I asked the doctor a question." " "You can try."" "But she's been slipping in and out of consciousness." "Lynne." "Lynne, it's me, David Palmer." "I'm so sorry." "We're getting you to the hospital." "I need you to tell me how this happened." "Sir, she took a severe blow to the head." "She has a concussion, and she's not coherent." "She's trying to say something." "It's okay." "I'm here." "I'm listening." "What is it, Lynne?" ""What is it?"" "It's all right, Lynne." "They're going to take good care of you." " We need to get her to the hospital." " Go." "Come on, Tony." "Pick up the phone." " I'm sorry." "All circuits..." " Damn it!" "Chappelle's going to find out." "What are you talking about?" "He told you not to waste any more time looking forJack... but that's all you and Michelle are doing right now." " Why aren't you working on the field intel?" " Don't shine me on, Tony." " I'm just trying to help you keep your job." " Really?" " By doing what?" " Not saying anything." "Okay." "Then don't say anything." "Um, I want something in return." " And what would that be?" " Michelle worked for me at District." "Things worked much better that way." "She's not qualified to be my boss." "That's why things have been so messed up here tonight." "So, uh, you want Michelle's job." " Is that what this is about?" " Yes." "And I assume you want to keep yours." "Yeah." "Mr. Chappelle, could you come over here a second?" " What do you need, Almeida?" " Carrie's got something she wants to tell you." "All right." "Prepare these two, and send them..." "What is it, Carrie?" "Well?" "Carrie was trying to extort a promotion out of me by promising to keep her mouth shut." "That about right?" "Mouth shut about what?" "He and Michelle are still trying to find Jack Bauer." "I was just trying to give Tony the courtesy of a warning." " I was going to tell you." " That's enough, Carrie." "Get back to work." "Yes, sir." "I thought I made myself clear, Tony." "We're past Bauer." "No, sir, you are." "I'm not." "I'm still Director of C.T.U... and I'm allocating reasonable resources to insure that we have all the facts." "Now, if you're not comfortable with me making my own decisions..." "I suggest you relieve me of my duties right now." " That won't be necessary." " Thank you, sir." "Don't thank me." "I just don't have anyone to take your place right now." "I don't like insubordination." "Come on." "Come on." "You better hurry up!" "There." " What the hell is this?" " There should be at least 20,000 Euros there." " Euros?" " It's European money." "I look European to you?" "Where's the cash?" "That is cash." "It's as good as dollars." "We want cash money." "You understand me?" "Marcus." " You think this is real?" " No, they keep the fake ones locked up." " Fifteen hundred." " That's it?" "That's it." "Now what do we do?" "Look, just-just take it all." "Just give me the chip." "She knows what we look like." " "She knows our names too."" " We had a deal." "No, he's right." "We can't just leave you here." "Look, take everything!" "I won't tell anyone." "I won't tell the police, I promise." "Just give me the chip!" "Marcus, don't do this, man." "Let's just take the stuff and go." "The second we walk out of here, she's calling the cops." " I can't get locked up again, man." " No!" " Kate, are you all right?" " Yeah." "They've got the chip!" "How many rooms at the end of the hall?" " Two." "Master bedroom and a bathroom." " Stay down." "All I want is the chip!" "My name is Jack Bauer." "I'm a federal agent." "All I want is the chip, and then I'll let you go." "You shot my friend, man." "You expect me to believe you?" "Right now, you don't have a choice." "You come in here, and I'm gonna smash this thing." "I'll put it right under my foot!" "We're looking for Jack Bauer." "Last time we heard from him, he was on his cell phone between Encino and Studio City." "We need to find him as soon as possible." "I need everyone to make this priority one." "Ladies and gentlemen, we should begin." "I'd like to thank you all for assembling on such short notice." "I'm sure you're all wondering why I've asked you here." "Why I've asked you to keep the news of this meeting to yourselves." "Excuse me, Mr. Vice President, but shouldn't we wait for the president?" "President Palmer will be joining us later." "I'm not sure I understand, Jim." "The first part of this meeting will be a closed session." " Closed to the president?" " I'm afraid that's the point of the meeting, Alex." "To some of you, this will come as a surprise." "For most of you, though, I hope it comes as a relief." "But it is my sincere belief that based upon his response to today's events" "David Palmer is unfit to continue as President of the United States."
