"This is Jenny's statement to the press about the C.T.U. Bombing." "Any casualties?" " Over a dozen so far." " Those people are dead because of you." "You're out, Eric, effective immediately." "You can't dismiss me now, sir." "I need someone I can trust." "Reza may be involved with a terrorist." "He's been in contact with someone who finances terrorist operations." "Trust me." "He is not a terrorist." "I want you to drop this nonsense... and start treating Reza like a member of the family." "How bad is she?" "She needs surgery." "We can't do that in the field." " She stays here." " George, we can't keep her here." "Everything we have on this nuke has been destroyed." "The only intel we have left is the database that Paula sent to the N.S. A... and they didn't get the code." "Well, then, we'll assign other I.T. People to retrieve it." "We don't have time!" " I want to go with her." " " I have some questions first."" " We got out in time." "She wasrt injured in the explosion." " "Yes, I know."" "From what I've seen, her head injury most likely occurred before the blast." " You don't think I did this?" " I'm gonna let the police sort that out." "Eddie told me everything went off without a hitch." "What happened between then and now?" "I killed them... for resisting arrest." "I'll kill you too, Joe." "Whoever set you up to do this job, Joe, they used you." "The woman who gave me the plans to C. T.U., I only met her twice." "I can't go back to jail." "No!" "None of these girders are stable." "I can't guarantee that they're gonna hold." "And nothing behind this corded area is safe." "I don't want to see anyone in there, or I'll shut the building down." "I don't care what the governor says." "No, don't even try that bank." "The switches were totally destroyed." "See if you can set up a generator line to the "A" island." "All right, I'm on it." "We've got to get her out of here." " What's the progress here?" " We're trying to bring her around... using a combination of stimulants and hydrating fluids." "But it might make her more unstable." "We're running out of time, so just wake her up." " Where are you headed?" " To follow up on a lead that just came in." "There's an L.A. Connection to Syed Ali." "Well, look, send somebody else." "I need you here." "To do what?" "Watch Paula die?" "Tony, we got to get the encryption codes out of her, or we're gonna lose everything." "We can't let that happen today." "Yeah, well, like I said, you got it covered." "I'm gonna follow up on this lead." " No." "You're gonna stay here, and that's an order." " Look." "There's a Middle Eastern businessman in L. A"..."" "who's had contact with Syed Ali recently." "Now, Ivers and Appell are dead." "Who do you want me to send?" "Be reachable." "All right?" "Yeah." " What are you looking at?" " Nothing." " Putting Band-Aids on the network?" " Yeah, I'm on it." "Mr. Mason?" "It's Jack Bauer." "Jack?" "What is it?" "George, I got to Wald." "I found out who commissioned him to take out C.T.U." " Who?" " It was Nina Myers." " Nina?" " She was his connection to C.T.U." "It doesn't make any sense." "She's been in prison." "Wald approached her before we took her down." "She sold him everything, George:" "Schematics, gate information, personal data." "All of this has to be connected to the nuke." "So, what, they bombed C.T.U. To cripple our response capability?" "Yes, yes." "I've already called Chappelle." " You what?" " I couldn't find you, George." " What did he say?" " He agreed we need to talk to her." "He's having her transferred over to C.T.U. Now for questioning." "Look, why don't you debrief at Division?" "It's a total disaster here." " Well, what are you gonna do about Nina?" " I'll take care of it." "Don't just hand her over to the F.B.I., George." "Forget it, Jack." "You did a great job, okay?" " Go find yourself some place safe." " George..." "Michelle, can you get somebody to set up an interrogation room?" " We got somebody coming in." " Who?" "Nina Myers." "The C.T.U. Agent who killed Jack's wife?" "I need as close to maximum security as I can get." "And three armed agents standing by." "We've reduced the likelihood on some of the targets." "We're left with six probable sectors." "There's the harbor..." "Port of Los Angeles." "It's one of the busiest ports in the world." "A strike there... will knock out "infrastructure"..." "I'm sorry to interrupt, Mr. President." "The ambassador's just about to land." "Has there been any communication while he was en route?" "No, not since this morning when it was decided he would come here." " Is he alone?" " No, he's being accompanied by Farhad Salim... their ranking intelligence officer." "Get me anything new we've learned about Second Wave since this morning." " Yes, sir." " Oh, and Lynne?" "Is Roger here yet?" "He's upstairs." "They're bringing him up to speed... on Rayburn's dismissal." "Good." "As far south as Mexico, but as I mentioned previously... downtown Los Angeles is particularly vulnerable." "That's where the five major freeways merge." "If they hit this area, we'd also have..." "Dr. Gerard, radiology." "Dr. Gerard, radiology." "Everything's gonna be okay, Kim." "I'll tell you what." "If you leave now..." "I'll tell the police that it was just a misunderstanding." "If you don't, they're gonna arrest you." " Arrest me for what?" " For kidnapping my daughter." "Where's Carla?" "As soon as these officers talk to the doctor, Kim... it's gonna be pretty obvious that you're the one that hurt her." "That's a lie and you know it." "I would never hurt her." "I've been protecting her from you." "Well, the only thing that can be "proved," Kim... is that you took Megan without our permission." "You beat up your wife." "Who's gonna believe you?" "Carla will back me up." "You know that." "I mean, if you don't believe me... we can give her a call." "You wanna do that?" "Go ahead, Kim, call her." "You walk away while you have the chance." "Otherwise, you're going to jail." "Stay away from my family!" "Don't ever come to my house again." "Look, I wouldn't rule anything out, Mike." "If you co-opt local enforcement at this time the story could leak... and that's one of my biggest concerns here." "You know what?" "Roger's walking in." "I'll talk to you when you land." " Mr. President." " Roger." "It's good to see you." " Come into my office." " Afternoon, everyone." " Be with you shortly." " Very good, sir." "I can't tell you how disturbed I was... with Eric's decision regarding C.T.U." " Twenty-nine dead and counting." " It's inexcusable." "There'll be a full investigation, possible criminal charges." "You know I hate to meddle in your rice bowl... but on a day like today I couldn't wait for you to arrive." " Say no more." " Are you caught up on everything?" "I'm caught up." "I'd like to talk to you... about this meeting with the ambassador." "Hmm." "What are your thoughts?" "We have everything to lose, nothing to gain." "Well, what we have to gain is stopping a nuclear bomb." "But this meeting benefits only the other side." "He wants to be able to say to the world..." "" Look, we "tried" to stop the bomb."" "It's a ploy to gain access to our intelligence, nothing more." "You might be right... but I'm not as certain as you are." "I'm gonna meet with him." "Very good, sir." " Anything else?" " Not at this time." "Hold on." "Sir." "Off-duty agents are finally arriving, and Division called." "The chopper just lifted off." "Nina Myers is on board." "Good." "Let's set up the mobile video unit for the interrogation then." "Okay." "Laurie, I need you to call downstairs." "Get Bill." "Have him bring up a video rack, okay?" "Jack, what the hell are you doing here?" "I sent you to Division." "I want to do the debrief here." "I'm not gonna mince words with you." "Nina killed your wife." "I don't want you anywhere near her." "George, my goal is the same as yours:" "To stop this bomb." "It makes more sense that I do the debrief here... because there's no information on the Wald op "at" Division." " Please." " All right." "Let me set you up with Knoll at, uh, Tech Support." " What about Ivers?" " Dead." " Clark?" " Dead." "We lost a lot of good people, Jack." " I'll get started on the debrief." " Hey, do us both a favor." "Finish and go." "Yeah." "She's awake." "You better move fast." "I don't know how much time you have." "Come on." "Let's go." "Paula?" "It's George Mason." " Can you hear me?" " What happened?" "We had a big explosion." "Do you remember the encryption codes, Paula?" "You're the only one who has them." " Stay with us, Paula." " " Paula."" "You were transferring files out to N.S.A. Do you remember that?" " Yeah." " Yeah, well, the transfer didn't complete." "They didn't have the source decryption key." " The source?" " Yeah." "The source key." "That's right." "See, normally you send it in a separate packet, but the router was destroyed." "Did you make a copy of the source key before you sent it?" "Yeah." "What is it?" "Do you remember?" " Sub-volume." " Okay." " Uh, which volume?" " Which-Which volume?" "Which one?" "Paula, stay with us." "Which one?" "Paula, your disk is partitioned into over 50 volumes." "Do you remember which one?" "Etudes." "Etudes." "Come on, come on, come on." "Hang in there, sweetie." " That's it." "That's it." " Great." "Hey, you did good." "What you just did is gonna save a lot of lives today." " The hospital, now." "Move." " Come on." "Give me a hand." "Let's go." "She's in V-tach." "Dave, are you ready?" " Charge." " Full charge, 360." "Clear." " "Nothin" - "Charging at 300."" " " Come on, charge." "Clear." - "Charged."" " No rhythm." " "Flat line."" "She's gone." " I got it." " You got it?" "You're sure?" "Yeah." " Hey." " So, how'd you like the house?" " You knew about it?" " Of course." "Why do you think I insisted you go with him?" "Dad, it's not that I think Reza doesn't love Marie." " I just think if he's doing things that are illegal..." " Honey, you don't know that." "Well, I know Ralph Burton found a transaction... in the company records that link him to a known terrorist." "Ralph Burton is a P.I." "I mean, he could probably connect me to the Manson family if he looked hard enough." "Yeah." "Did they straighten out that business about lunch?" " Yeah." "Another crisis averted." " Thank you." "Who's this?" "Hello, sir." "I'm Tony Almeida from Los Angeles C.T.U." " This is Agent Richards." " C.T.U.?" " What is C.T.U.?" " "Counterterrorist Unit."" "I'm looking for a Reza Naiyeer." "What's this all about?" "It's a government matter, ma'am." "A government matter?" "I just need to ask a few questions of Mr. Naiyeer." "Mr. Almeida, right?" "My daughter hired a private investigator... to do a background check on Reza." "It's all been cleared up." "Actually, Dad, it hasn't all been cleared up." "Can this wait?" "You see, today is my other daughter Marie's wedding." "She's getting married to Reza." "Look, I'm sorry for the bad timing, Mr. Warner... but, no, this can't wait." "Now, I'm authorized to interrogate Mr. Naiyeer." "Are you gonna take me to him, or do I have to find him myself?" "Kate, go find Reza." "What's going on here?" "All I can tell you is that I'm part of an investigation involving national security... and I'm hoping Mr. Naiyeer can assist me." "Hey, Kate." "What's up?" "There's a man here who needs to talk to you." " Who is he?" " He's from the government." " The government?" " A counterterrorism agency." " What are you talking about?" " That's all I know." "What's this about, Kate?" "I don't know." "Marie's in her room adjusting her dress." "You just make sure she doesn't find out about this." "Sure." "Reza Naiyeer?" " Yes." " I'm Agent Richards." "Right this way." "Oh." "What is that?" " It's some lunch for you." " Can you put it there?" " " Sure." - "Thanks."" "These heels are gonna kill me." "I want you to know that since your conversation... with the prime minister this morning... we have taken four suspected members of Second Wave... into custody... and we have begun interrogations." "What have you learned?" "We are still questioning them." "As a ranking security officer, I assure you... we are doing everything possible to clamp down on this kind of activity." "These satellite photos... were taken over your country an hour ago." "Doesn't look like too much of a clampdown to me." "We don't have the resources that you do." "And, surely, even you can't tell me that you're aware... of every single paramilitary compound currently operating in the U.S." "If this bomb goes off, Mr. President... and you don't believe that we did everything possible to stop it... there will be heavy repercussions for my country." "You have already made it quite clear... that you will have no choice but to retaliate against us." "We want to help." "What do you propose?" "A mutual exchange of intelligence." "What kind of exchange?" "We need access to your files on Second Wave." " Our files?" " Yes." "Anything." "Anything that pertains to suspected terrorism in our country." "I'm not sure how much intel it's in our interest to share with you at this time." "I understand your reservations, Mr. President... but be assured... we want to prevent this... incident." "We are prepared for an exchange in both directions." "We are willing to open up our files to you as well." "I'll have to think about this, Mr. Ambassador." " Of course." " We've prepared a room for you." "You'll have our answer shortly." " Thank you, Mr. President." " Mr. Ambassador." "Mr. Stanton." "Right this way, sir." "You can't give him this information, sir." "Explain." "What's the downside?" "We have agents in their country right now." "Those files would expose their identities." "Fine." "Go through the files... take out anything that would jeopardize our people." "It's a dangerous precedent." "We can't worry about precedent, not today... not under the threat of nuclear attack." "I guess my point is I don't trust the ambassador... and we can't ignore the possibility... that his country is supporting Second Wave." "Lynne, what do you think?" "I agree with Roger." "I think it's too risky." " Yeah?" " Dad, it's me." " Kim?" "Are you all right?" " I'm okay." "What about you?" "Were you at C.T.U. When the bomb went off?" "No, honey, I'm fine." "Look, are you on your way up to Aunt Carol's?" "No, I haven't left yet." "Look, what is going on?" "You sounded weird on the phone." "It doesn't matter." "You have to go to Aunt Carol's right away." "I can't." "That's why I'm calling." " Why?" "What's wrong?" " It's Megan." "Her dad freaked out this morning and hit her." "I'm at the hospital right now." "Sweetheart, I'm sorry, but you're gonna have to let that go." " It's not safe in Los Angeles today." " Why not?" " Something bad's gonna happen, sweetheart, just trust me." " Dad, tell me." "Sweetheart, there's a nuclear bomb in Los Angeles." "It might go off today." "Oh, my God." "All right, um, I'll leave, but..." "No "buts," Kim." "Go, now." "Well, what about you, Dad?" "Are you gonna meet me at Aunt Carol's?" "Yes." "As soon as I'm finished here at C.T.U., I'll be right there, okay?" " All right." " Kim... don't tell anybody about this, okay?" " We can't start a panic." " Okay." " Call me as soon as you get there." " Okay." "Uh, Dad, I love you." "I love you too, sweetheart." " Now go." " Okay." "George wanted me to find out if there's anything I can do to help." "No, thank you." "I could fill out that boilerplate stuff for you, if you want." "Michelle, I know that George wants me out of here." "Take my advice..." "don't get caught in the middle." "Hello, Nina." "So you weren't just working for the Drazens." "Selling information to anybody who'd buy it:" "Presidential assassins, terrorists... didn't matter." "What do you know about this nuclear bomb?" "Here are the terms, George." "They're nonnegotiable." "I'll give up my contacts... my background material, all my intel." "I'll work with whoever you want, here or in the field." "For that I want a full presidential pardon... third-party certification, guaranteed in writing." "It's not gonna fly." "Then take me back." "You're not buying a used car here." "You have to deal within the confines of reality." "You're not gonna get anything unless you produce results." "It's in my interest to produce results." "Is this working?" "Put me through to Chappelle at Division." "She gonna help?" "Finish your debrief and go." "Ryan, it's me." "Excuse me." "Sorry." "So as chief financial officer... you oversee all the money that comes in and out of the company." " "Is that right?"" " Right." "In case you hadn't noticed, I'm getting married today." "So if we could just do this another time, I'd appreciate it." "Could you sit down, please?" "We're not done." "Sit down." "Sit down!" "Why don't you tell me about Syed Ali?" "I told you before." "I do not know a Syed Ali." " Oh, you don't?" " No." "Then how do you explain the fact that his name is in your personal computer files?" "I don't know." "You don't know?" "All right." "Why don't we start again?" " Where's Marie?" " She's still in her room working on the dress." "How much longer is he gonna be in there with Reza?" "I'm sorry, sir." "I don't know." "Dad, she's gonna find out the second she walks out of the room." " "Are we gonna be able" to go through with this?" " What do you mean?" "The wedding." "Dad, it's in less than six hours." "No one's canceling anything." "Just make sure Marie stays away from these people, okay?" "Roger, I want you to monitor how they use our intel." "I'm not comfortable with this." "Well, we've flagged the restricted topics, so..." "This should be a one-way dialogue." "Mr. President, it's Ryan Chappelle, Division Los Angeles." "Thank you." "Yes, Ryan." "Mr. President, I have an update on the Nina Myers situation." "She's demanding a full presidential pardon." "Here's my debrief." "It's finished." "Thanks." "I am supposed to get you out of here." "That's not gonna happen, is it?" "It's the first time I've seen her since..." "Why are you doing this to yourself, Jack?" "Mason's right." "You should get out of here." " Michelle Dessler." " Is Jack Bauer there?" "Yes, he is." "Hold on." "Jack." "Jack, it's for you." " Yeah." " Jack Bauer?" "Yes." "Mr. Bauer, hold one moment for the president." " Jack?" " Mr. President." "I want to thank you for your good work this morning." "Yes, sir." "Jack, there's something else... and I wanted you to hear it from me personally." "It's about Nina Myers." "We're gonna have to grant her a shadow asylum." "That sounds like a pardon, sir." "It is." "But only a couple of people will ever know about it." "She'll be deported to another country." "Jack, I know how difficult this must be for you to hear." "It was a painful decision." "But as you know, she has information that can help us find this bomb." "I wish there was another way." "So do I, sir." "Let's just get through this day." "Eventually, we'll make it right." "Yes, sir." "Thank you, Jack." "What is it?" "They're gonna let her go." " Hello?" " I've been trying to reach you." "I had my cell off when we were recording." " I need you." " I really need you too." "Quit it, Miguel." "I'm in trouble." "What happened?" "Are you okay?" "No, no, no." "It's not me." "It's Megan." "Look, you have to come help me." "Help you do what?" "What's going on?" "I can't explain it over the phone." "Just get over here, please, Miguel." "I really need you." "Kim, I have a whole studio full of people here." "You just have to trust me." "I wouldn't ask if it wasn't important." " Miguel." " Okay." "Where are you?" "President Palmer told me he had to take a deal with Nina." " I want the case." "I know how she thinks." " Really?" "Yes, and you know it." "I'm not talking to you, Jack." "'Cause you're not here right now." "Good." "Set up here." "Have it ready to go." " Okay." " Did you find it yet?" " There's no plus-five here." " Try the D.C. Lines and the phone circuits." "Great!" "Great." "Okay, skip the virus cycle." "Just get these all on-line." "Michelle, I need you to get me... all of Mason's log-in sheets over the last 12 hours." " I need to know everywhere he's been." " I'm sorry, Jack." " You're not cleared for that information." " Then clear me for it." "I'm right in the middle of this thing." "You know what the stakes are." "What does it have to do with George?" "I need to make sure he's fit to run C.T.U." " Fit?" " I think something's happened to him." "Michelle, believe it or not, I used to run this place." "I know what I'm doing." "I want to help him." "Please." "Get me those log-in sheets." " Can you let me know when it's done, Cori?" "Thanks." " I will." " Hi, Cori." " Hi." "I am starved, but I don't wanna eat anything." " Well, why not?" " 'Cause the dress fits perfectly..." " right now." " Marie?" " Yeah?" " There's been a little bit of a problem." "Of course there's a problem." "It's a wedding." "What now?" " It's about Reza." " Oh, is he backing out?" "What's going on?" "Where's Reza?" "He's in the dining room." "Marie." " Who are you?" " Ma'am, I'm Agent Richards from C.T. U Los Angeles." "Reza's in the room talking to another agent." "What for?" "What does he want with Reza?" " Dad?" " Marie, um..." " I want to see Reza right now." " I'm sorry, ma'am." "I can't let you in at this time." "This is our house!" "I want you out of here, now!" "Kate, do you know what's going on here?" " Marie, I want you to come with me." " Why?" "Please." "This whole thing started with me." "Please try and understand." "I saw something in the company books that didn't check out... so I hired a private investigator to check up on Reza." " You what?" " The private investigator... came across the name of a man Reza's had dealings with... a man involved in terrorist activities." "What?" "I did it for you, Marie, to protect you." "Protect me?" "All this time... you've been checking up on Reza?" "Behind our backs?" "These people found out something about Reza, about his past." "If he's keeping something from you, wouldn't you rather know about it now?" "What business is it of yours?" "This is my life." "How dare you interfere with it like this?" "It's my wedding day!" "Hiring a private investigator?" "That's insane, Kate." "Insane." "Marie, just calm down, okay?" "Look, these men are gonna be out of here in a few minutes." "All right?" "It's just a big misunderstanding." "Okay?" "Let's try to remember that we're a family." "Not anymore." "I don't want you at the wedding." " No, Marie, come on." " No, Dad, it is unacceptable... that she did this without telling me." "Marie, I'm sorry." "It was wrong of me not to tell you first." "Apology accepted." " Now get out of here." " No." "Marie." "Thanks very much." "Miguel, where's the car?" " I let Rod take it." "Why?" " We need it." " We'll take a cab." " We can't." "Kim... what's going on?" " We need to get Megan out of here." " What happened?" "Gary threw her to the ground." "She hit her head... and the doctors think there's evidence of other things too." " Did you talk to the police?" " "I can't."" "He threatened to arrest me for kidnapping if I said anything." " Kidnapping?" " I took her out of the house." "I had to." "Look, she's safe as long as she's here at the hospital." " "You need to talk to Carla."" " It's too late for that." "What do you mean?" "Look, you know that building that blew up today?" "My father used to work there." "They go after terrorists." "I talked to him a half hour ago." "He seems to think we need to get out of L.A. As soon as possible." "Why?" "Come here." "He said there was a nuclear bomb in the city... and he thinks it's gonna go off today." "Whoa." "I know." "You believe him?" "Yeah, I believe him." " Well, let's get out of here." " No, we can't." "Not without Megan." "What are you doing in my office?" "How long did they give you?" "George, I know you were exposed to high levels... of radioactive materials in Panorama City this morning." "How'd you figure that out?" "Your anti-nausea medication." "It's for radiation sickness." "I checked the logs." "I made a few calls." " You inaled plutonium, George." " So?" "So I'm not the only person who shouldn't be here today." "How long do you have?" "I'll probably be dead by this time tomorrow." "Why?" "What's it to you?" "I want to know what your plans are for Nina." "As soon as we get a signature from Palmer, she's gonna tell us everything she knows." " Who's gonna be the handler?" " "O'Neill."" "Forget about O'Neill." "I wanna do it." "I'm dying, Jack." "I'm not crazy." "You and Nina together is a recipe for disaster." "Maybe, but if you don't do this, I'll phone District, tell them about your condition." "They'll have you replaced within minutes." "George, we want the same thing." "We want to finish this job and find the bomb." "Now, let me do it." "Go ahead." "I'm sorry." "The ambassador's chopper took off a few minutes ago." "As soon as he gets on his plane, he and Salim will conference... with the prime minister." "How soon can we expect the intelligence reports back?" "Within the hour, and then there will be updates... every 30 minutes after that." "Okay." "Well, I think you better set up a call with the Joint Chiefs." "I have a feeling they're not gonna be happy about the information exchange." "I'm gonna have to talk them through it." "Right away, sir." "Mr. President, take a look at this." "Internal feed from Fox News." "A press conference "was scheduled for"... "Oh, no!"" " What was that?" " Look!" "Did you see that?" "Where's this?" "Los Angeles?" "No, sir." "It's right here." "I don't understand." "It's the ambassador's chopper." "It crashed just after takeoff." "You can see smoke billowing from the area just behind me." "We have no information at this time "as to who may have been on"..." "First indications are there are no survivors." "" It seemed to explode"..." "again, all I know is at the time... uh, the helicopter, apparently "a military helicopter was"..." "Stop treating me like a criminal!" "Surveillance is all hooked up in the interrogation room, Michelle." " Mr. Bauer?" " I'm gonna have to get back to you."
