"Why are they asking Dad questions?" "'Cause you started a witch hunt in our family." " What did you accuse my father of?" " I didn't accuse him of anything." "You're pointing your finger at him to cover yourself!" "He says that Bob Warner's the one that had dealings with Syed Ali." "Bring them both in." "We'll separate them and turn up the heat." "I need some help." "I have to get into my father's private records." " Who is the man in Visalia?" " The man in Visalia is Mamud Faheen." " He also thinks I'm in prison." " You better make him believe you got out." " I need to see Mamud." " "Jack, should we go?"" "No, not until I have confirmation that it's Faheen." "That's it." "Everybody go." "Sir, we have to talk about Ron Wieland." "Does anybody know we have him sequestered?" "No, but soon they're going to figure out the last person they did see him with was you." "I have invoked executive privilege and have granted Sherry... a provisional security clearance." "Seems like every time I turn around, somebody's advising me to send you away." " Why don't you?" " Because you may be able to get information nobody else can." "Damn it.!" "Just play it cool." "Cool?" "We're in a stolen car." "Would you step out of the car, please, and open the trunk?" "Carla!" " Oh, my God!" "He killed her!" " Put your hands behind your head." " So, whose car is it?" " It's her father's." " Did he give it to you?" " Not exactly." "Well, then what, exactly?" "We took it without permission." " "You stole this car?"" " I can't believe he killed her." "Look, Officer, Gary Matheson, the man that Kim works for... had beaten his wife and was starting to hurt his daughter." "Kim called me to help her get Megan away from this guy." "Okay, if that's true, why didn't you go to the police?" "Why do I find you 20 miles outside of L.A., hmm?" "That's what I thought." "You have the right to remain silent." "Anything you say can and will be used against you in court." "You have the right to an attorney." "If you can't afford an attorney, one will be appointed for you by the court." "Do you understand these rights as I have read them?" "Uh, is it safe in here?" "Just stay away from the cordoned areas, you'll be all right." " This was the building that was bombed this morning." " Yeah." " Hey." " Got the rooms ready?" "They're still a little messed up, but they're good enough for interrogation." " How are we doing here?" " Final tally:" "30 dead, 17 wounded." " Davidorff and Lindauer are critical." " What about Paula?" "All right, could you do me a favor and take 'em back to the rooms." " Thanks." " Follow me, please." "Listen, uh, can I talk to you alone?" "Stay with them." "I'll be there in a minute." "Find anything new?" "No, just what I told you on the phone." "Two men are contradicting each other." "There's definitely a tie to Syed Ali." "It's looking more and more like Ali's at the center of this thing." "Let's hope all this brings us closer to finding the nuke." " Just tell me how hard I can push 'em." " As hard as you have to." "Stick bamboo shoots under their fingernails." "Get what they got." " Time's running out." " Okay." "Call Henderson at the F.B.I." "Set up a conference call with him and the attorney general." " Lynne, you have a second?" " Sure, Roger." "Uh, I understand that, uh..." "Sherry Palmer's been given provisional security clearance." "Yes, that's right." "The president has invoked executive privilege, yes." "You okay with that?" " It's different." " Yes, it is." "So, you know, I weighed in about it." "And if I feel that she's becoming a problem, I'll let the president know." "Well, she's his ex-wife." "That's a problem all by itself." "No, Sandra, thank you." "I'll get back with you." "Okay." " Tell me about Ron Wieland." " What about him?" "I, uh, just got off the phone with Sandra Ivany at the network." "She said no one's heard from him since he met with you this morning." "David?" "You didn't detain him, did you?" "You are here today to help me, not question my judgment." "And I am trying to help." "What's going on with Wieland?" "He was going to go public with the rumor." "About the bomb?" "I cannot afford a panic." "Well, you... you can't keep him locked up indefinitely." "People are already starting to ask questions." "We're holding him at the O.C. When the crisis passes, I'll let him go." "Yeah, well, meanwhile, you've got a problem." "His disappearance could raise questions you don't want to answer." " I put Armus on it." " Apparently, it hasn't helped." " The word is getting out." " What do you suggest?" "Give him an on-air exclusive when this is over." "I offered that to him." "He didn't want it." "Then let me talk to him." "David, one talent you know I have is dealing with the media." "And I know Ron." "He likes me." "No." "You're here to gather information." "And to help." "You said so yourself." "And today you can't afford to ignore that." "Let me try talking to Ron." "What would you say to him?" "Oh, I'll make it won't his while not to say anything." "Kim, I'm scared!" "No, it's okay, Megan." "You're gonna be okay." "It's gonna be fine." "Where are you taking her?" "She can't go back to L.A." " Why not?" " It's not safe." " Why didn't you tell him?" " My dad said not to tell anyone." "Yeah, but he didn't know you were gonna be charged with murder." " I'm gonna tell him, Kim." " No, you can't." "I'm telling you, Miguel." "My dad said no one can know about this." "I think you should tell him who your dad is." "Let them call him." "Let your dad explain why we're trying to get out of town." "Let's go." "Listen, my father works at C.T.U., the place that got bombed this morning." "His name is Jack Bauer." "Please call him." "He'll explain why it's not safe to be in L.A. Today." "You can call your father after you've been processed, all right?" "Nina: "Who are you working with in L.A.? "" "Faheen: "I'm not going to give you any information! "" "Faheen: "It's too late." "Don't waste your time." " "The operation will be done. "" " This is not working." "It will work." "I just need a little more time." " No, you're done." "Come on." " Jack, let me do this!" " Prep the plane." "We're going back?" " Did he talk?" " No, he wouldn't talk to her." " What are we gonna do?" "Call Division, have them set up a white room." "We'll handle it in Los Angeles." "Jack, wrong move." "The deeper you bring him into the system, the more he's gonna shut down." " Yeah, we'll see." " Rick, give me more time with him!" "You had enough time." "It's over!" "Make sure Faheen gets to the airport." " What about you?" " We'll be right behind you." "Rick, don't you see what he's doing?" "He doesn't need me anymore." " "Jack, you can't take her."" " I have a document signed by the president!" " He can't do this!" " Jack, I can't." "My orders are to stay with you and her." "Just forget your orders." "All they need is Faheen." "Don't push this, Jack." "I can't leave you alone with her!" " This has got nothing to do with you, Rick." "Back off!" " Step away from the car, Bauer." " Paul Koplin." "Nice to meet you." " Hi." "Thanks for coming." " Come on in." " No problem." "I spoke to Ralph and he told me what files we're going to have to get into." " Are they the ones that link Reza to this terrorist?" " Yes, to Syed Ali." "The company computer is networked into this house... but I'm gonna have to hack some passwords and I assume you're authorizing me to do that." " Yeah." "Yeah, of course." " That's it?" "You know, I still don't understand why they had to drag my family in... for questioning on my sister's wedding day." "I'm a little surprised about that too, but it's a whole new world out there now." "Let's see." "Well, I'm sorry about what happened today, but as private investigators... we're required by law to report any terrorist-related information... to Homeland Security right off." "So here it is." "I was able to access the monthly statements, but I couldn't get into any detailed records." "Right." "Well, let's see what we can do." "Armus?" " Where are you going?" " I'm taking Mrs. Palmer to one of the conference rooms." " Does she have clearance?" " " Excuse me."" "But you don't need to speak about me as if I weren't here, Mr. Stanton." "I'm sorry, Mrs. Palmer." " Roger Stanton." " I know who you are, Roger." "It's just a..." "it's a highly restricted area." "Yes, I know." "However, I have been granted access." " Why do you need to be here?" " That you'll have to ask the president." " Armus." " "Excuse me."" "My apologies, Mrs. Palmer." "It's just, uh... we're being very careful about the flow of information today." "Well, there's no need to apologize." "I would assume that... you're careful about the flow of information every day." "Thank you." " Sherry Palmer." " Hello, Ron." "Just when I thought this day couldn't get any stranger." "I, uh..." "I can imagine you're not happy about all of this." " I'd like to know what "this" is." " I don't exactly know myself." "I don't believe you, Sherry." "But unless they kill me, I'm gonna have the story of the year." "I've been kidnapped by the leader of the free world." "Oh, now, that's not necessarily true, Ron." "There actually has been precedent for this kind of executive action." "If you're here to try to shut me up, you're wasting your time." "I sensed I was on to something." "The fact that they locked me in here only confirms it." "I'm coming out of here with a story." "Deal with it." "Hmm." "Mind if I sit down?" "Of course not." "We, uh..." "We'd like to release you, Ron... and we will... but we need assurances that you're not gonna go public... with the rumors you were threatening to broadcast." "In return for what?" "I get an exclusive with the president on some watered-down story?" "Not a watered-down story." "Something else." "You go out there, let everyone know that you are not missing." "Don't say anything about this morning... the president will let you inside of the O.C. To report firsthand." "No journalist has ever been inside there." "Why did he send you down here to make this offer, Sherry?" "In fact, what are you even doing back inside David Palmer's circle?" "Take the deal, Ron." "In a couple of hours, they'll brief you, and, uh... then you'll know more than I do." "Hey!" "Guys, you need some help?" "Y-Yeah." "Nina: "The only way out of this is to cooperate with them."" "Nina: "Mamud, it does your case no good if you end up dead." "Think about it, Mamud." "We're on our way to Los Angeles."" "Faheen:" ""I'm not afraid to die."" "Nina:" ""How big is the bomb?" "What time is it supposed to go off? "" "Faheen: "You betrayed me." "You betrayed us all!" "Traitor."" "Bring her back here now." "Come on." "Nina, we are out of time." "If you wanna live through this, you gotta be straight with me." " Now, when was this planned?" " Six months before I was arrested." " Faheen approached you." " Yes, but through an intermediary." " And he didn't tell you about the nuke?" " No." "I told you." "I didn't know what the end game was." "I just knew that it was something big." "Is there another way around Faheen?" "No." "Is he really willing to die?" "Yes." "Jack, what are we gonna do?" "Take her back." "I wouldn't drive too long on that spare." "There's not a lot of tread left on it." "Yes." "Thank you very much, sir." "Hey, why don't you fellows follow me to Ventura Boulevard?" "There's a tire store there." "No, no, no, we'll be fine." "All right, you're all set." " Oh, uh, here, please." " Don't worry about it." "You know anybody that needs pool service, give them my card." " "I work the whole Valley, okay?" - "Of course, of course."" " "Thank you." "Thank you, sir." - "See ya."" "The kid said something about dangerous." "Said he needed to stay out of Los Angeles." "Yeah, this one told me a similar story." "She didn't go into any details though." " "You think it's true?"" " No, I don't think so." " What then?" " "They're just telling stories."" " "Want me to call it in?"" " Listen, wait till we get back, okay?" " All right." "I'll see you there." " Yeah." " That friend of yours got quite an imagination." " Why?" "What did he say?" "The reason you were leaving town was because there was some kind of a bomb... that's supposed to go off in L.A. Today." "Is that what you were talking about back there when you said it wasn't safe?" "Please, just call C.T.U. And try and reach my dad." "You need to get Megan, the girl that was with us." "Keep her out of the city." "L.A. Dispatch, this is 62-1, put me through to Frank Reed, over at F.B.I. Local." "I've been unable to reach anyone at the F.B.I. For the last 45 minutes." "You've been unable to reach them?" "Why?" "There's a lot of traffic on their lines for some reason." "All right, just keep trying and give me a call when you get through, okay?" ""Copy that."" "What the hell is going on?" " How did it go with Wieland?" " He's not gonna play ball." "He thinks he's got the upper hand." "Well, he knows we have to let him go eventually." "Whether there's a legal precedent for this or not, he's got one hell of a story." "Oh, I'm so sorry, David." "I thought I could charm him." "Okay, Sherry, that'll be all." "David, why are you treating me like this?" "It's not about you, Sherry." "I just have more important things to deal with right now." "You know, you've always been able to forgive." "Always given everyone a second chance... but not... not me." "I came here today to tell you that..." ""you were right"... right to kick me off the campaign... right to file for a divorce." "Where's all this coming from?" "A place of, um, honesty... of realization." "I was too caught up in the power." "And you're not now?" "Of course." "You know I love it." "But now I am aware of what I can and can't handle." "So what are you asking for?" "Let me help you." "If what I bring to you... can be useful... then you can consider it the start of a new confidence." "All right." "But I promise you absolutely nothing in return." "Okay." "All right, there are the transaction records." "In the week of the 23rd..." "Reza made four withdrawals from the company's discretionary account." "$175,000, $150,000... $50,000, another $50,000." " That's almost a half a million dollars." " Yeah." " What did he do with the money?" " Let's see." "My God." "He wrote a check to Syed Ali for $475,000... in return for consulting services." "So what?" "Maybe they were doing business." "Syed Ali's only business is bankrolling terrorists." "So what about my father?" "What's his connection to all this?" "Well, Reza probably convinced C.T.U. That your father authorized these transactions... or maybe he just did them on his own?" " I'm just speculating." " My father is not involved in terrorism." "The government made a mistake." "We have to find it and clear him." "All right, let's, um..." "let's try and get into his personal calendar." "Let's see what he was doing on the days that these checks were written." " Fine." " Okay." "Here's your father's schedule for that week." "Nothing here either." "Of course not." "My father has nothing to do with any of this." "I'm sorry, Paul, I shouldn't have called you." "It was such a waste of time." " "Wait a minute."" " What?" "There's a file here in his personal directory that's accessed almost daily." "It has a resource tab on it which means it's a government file." " Well, my dad has government clients." " Whoa!" " "What's going on?"" " It's an auto-delete program." " Can't you do something?" " I'm trying." " Oh, this can't be right." " What?" "The data on this file has a COMSAT grid." "You see, these are addresses." "CSG14877, that's an encoded coordinate." "I don't know what you're getting at." "The only people that would have files like these have government security clearance." "Why would my dad have that?" "I don't know." "Why have I been kept waiting here like this?" "Sit down, please, Mr. Warner." " I have some information." " Sit down!" "What information do you have?" "I'm not supposed to talk to anybody about this... but under the circumstances..." "I... am a consultant for the C.I.A." "There's a contact code for my liaison." "Call Langley." "They'll verify." "Why didn't you tell me about this back at the house?" "Oh, come on, Agent Almeida, you know the drill." "I'm not supposed to talk to anyone about this without clearance." "What's your l-3 protocol?" "I was approached about five years ago... because of my international investment work." "They asked me if I'd like to help my country... and I said, "Okay."" "What do you do?" "My corporation is used as a... as a conduit... to pass information back and forth." "To whom?" "I don't know." "That is the truth." "Now you listen to me, Mr. Almeida." "I am not an enemy of this country." "I am a patriot." "I love my country." "I don't know any Syed Ali... nor do I know why there's a record of me doing business with him." "Well, if that's true, then you have nothing to worry about, do you?" "But there is a connection between your company and Syed Ali." "And I'm gonna find out what it is." "So, in the meantime, sit tight." "I'm gonna check this out." " Kimberly Bauer?" " We need to speak with her father, Jack Bauer." "Well, he's not here right now." "What's this about?" "We have his daughter here, in custody." "It's important that we speak to him immediately." "Hold on." "Okay." ""Laurie, I need you to call downstairs"..." "George." "Bob Warner just told me he does deliveries for the C.I.A." "C.I.A.?" "Did you check it out?" "No, I was just about to call his liaison... but it looks like he's got a legitimate contact code." "If that is the case, then it means that Reza's lying to us." "I don't know." "I mean, I pushed Reza pretty hard." "I think he's telling the truth." "Well, we have to push a little harder than usual today." "So dig in and see what you can find out." "Let me know." "Mr. Mason, it's the sheriff's station in Newhaul." "They're holding Kim Bauer." " Why?" " She's been charged with murder." "Call Jack." "This is George Mason." "Whom am I speaking to?" "Bauer." " Jack, it's Michelle." " What?" "Listen." "I don't know how to tell you this, but we're on the other line with the sheriff station." " They're holding your daughter, Kim." " Holding her for what?" " She's being held on some kind of criminal charges." " What are you talking about?" " I have her on a second line." "Should I patch her through?" " Yes, and get Mason on this now." "I'm already on with the precinct, Jack." "We're working on it." "Obviously there's some mistake." "I need you to straighten it out and get Kim out of Los Angeles." " I'll take care of it." " Daddy?" " Kim, what happened?" " I was leaving the city like you said." "I was with Megan and my boyfriend, and the C.H.P. Pulled us over for speeding." "Um, they found a body in the trunk..." "Carla's body." "Carla, the woman you work for?" "Yeah." "We took her husband's car." "Gary must have done it this morning and put the body in the trunk." "Oh, my God, Dad, help me." "Just relax." "We're gonna straighten this out, okay?" "He beat her up and that's why I needed to take Megan." "He was hurting her too." "Kim, C.T.U. Is gonna send someone over." "They're gonna get you out of there now." "I don't want them to send someone else." "I want you to come and help me." "Can you do that?" "They think I killed Carla, Dad." "Dad, I need you here now." "Sweetheart, hold on for one second." "Michelle, are you still on the line?" " Yeah." " What is Faheen saying now?" "Nina told him that the U.S. Forces have been sent to his village... that they're rounding up his family, his cousins." " Faheen didn't believe her, he called her a liar." " Kim, hold on." "She just told Faheen that she has the power to save them." " Dad?" " Kim, hold on." "What are they saying now?" "Not picking it up." "The audio's too low." " Dad, are you there?" " Yeah, sweetheart." "I'm still here." "George, I need you to help Kim now." "If you have to supersede local authority, do it." " Just get her out of Los Angeles." " Done." "Nina, what did he tell you?" "Everything." "No!" "She just slit his throat!" "I got her." "Get him on the floor!" "Get him on the floor!" "What's happening?" "Can't stop this." " Dad?" " Have you got him?" " We're losing him." " Son of a bitch!" "Dad, what's happening?" " Jack." " Secure her!" "I know where the bomb is." "Take the plane to San Diego." "I want a civilian transport... waiting for me to take me to Sao Paolo." "I'll tell you everything when we're on the ground." " George, are you getting any of this?" " Yeah." " He's gone." " This is your call." "We're running out of time." "I don't like getting dicked around." " We can bring her into C.T.U. And try and press her there." " "No, it'll take too long."" " "Take her to San Diego."" " Fine." "Tell the pilot we're going to San Diego." "This is how this is gonna work." "We're gonna land." "You're gonna tell me where the bomb is." "We're gonna hold you until we get a result." "You got that?" "Got it." "Sir, I think I may have found something in the Faheen recordings." " What'd it say?" " A name." "Marko Khatami." "Listen." "Marko Khatami." "Did you try cross-referencing it?" "Yeah, he is connected to Syed Ali." "Mr. Naiyeer." "What?" " Who is Marko Khatami?" "Who is he?" " I have no idea." "I don't know what you're talking about.!" "You're crazy!" "You're gonna tell me who he is!" "Where's the bomb?" "You're crazy!" "You're mad!" "Cool it." "Cool down." "Let me go." "Are we being released?" "No." "You're being transferred." " To where?" " I don't know." "Someone from C.T.U. Called." "Said they were coming to pick you up." " They're taking over the case." " What about Megan?" "You brought her back here, right?" " What's gonna happen to her?" " That's none of your business." "You can't take her back to L.A.!" "You listen to me." "I checked you out." "Your father does work for C.T.U." "Now you tell me, what did he tell you was gonna happen today in L.A.?" "I can't say anything." "But you can't take Megan back." "Just tell me what's going on." "It's a nuclear bomb." "The reason why they didn't say anything is 'cause they don't wanna start a panic." "Okay." "Were you able to get anything else off that recording of Faheen?" "It's 99% noise." "Are you okay?" "Yeah, just running on empty." "Well, why don't you get something to eat." " No, I'm fine." " Your neck's bleeding here." "It's somebody else's blood." "Look, Michelle, why don't you take a few minutes... get cleaned up and change." "You'll feel better." "Hey." "We're gonna survive this day." "All right?" "Come on." "Get changed." "Come on." "Mr. President." "These are the updated guidelines... that Stanton sent to local law enforcement and the F.B.I." "I understand Sherry ran into Stanton." "I didn't hear that." "Has he said anything to you about her being here?" "I don't think he's very happy about it." " Do you have a problem with her?" " I know that you think she's useful to you, sir." "That's not what I asked." "I honestly welcome help wherever we can get it." "And if you feel that she performs a function here..." "Sir, you better come out here." "What is it, Mike?" "I've confirmed from two sources that there's an imminent threat... to national security and public safety." "And while I cannot at this time confirm the target or nature of the attack... the threat may come from Middle Eastern terrorist cells." "But there's also an indicator that domestic terrorist groups in the U.S. May be involved." " How did he get out?" " "What I find most troubling" about this story... is that our president knows about this threat... and isn't saying anything to the public." " Who was controlling that room?" " Armus." "I want to see him now." "It doesn't make sense." "If my father really does work for the government... which is almost impossible for me to believe... wouldn't he already have known if Reza was doing something illegal?" "I would think so, especially if terrorism was involved." "And if he did know about Reza, then what does that mean?" "Well, my guess is that your father was aware... that Reza was involved in some kind of illegal activity... that he was monitoring him or something." "But that doesn't make sense either." "My father would not let someone he was investigating marry Marie." "I mean, he got upset if anyone made the slightest critical remark about Reza." "He treated him like a son." "Look, I know Agent Almeida at C.T.U. Pretty well." "I'll give him a call." "See maybe if we can find out..." "Go, go!" "The Sunday before you killed my wife..." "Teri and I went down to the boardwalk in Venice." "Just watching all the rollerbladers and musicians... laughing at the crazy people... and spending time together." "And Teri sees this snow cone stand." "She giggles like a kid." "She takes off running." "She wants to get in line." "She wants one." "I remember I was watching her, I just..." "I couldn't help myself." "And when I looked up at her she was talking with this old lady in line behind her... and the two of them were laughing." "And I remember thinking to myself, how the hell does she do that?" "How does she strike up a conversation with an absolute stranger and... and they just start laughing... like they've been friends forever?" "That's a gift." "I remember thinking, God, I wish I could do that." "But I can't." "That was Teri... my wife." "That's what you took from this world, Nina." "That's what you took from me and my daughter." "I just wanted you to know that." "We got a man down!"
