"Right now terrorists are plotting to assassinate a presidential candidate." "My wife and daughter have been targeted and people that I work with may be involved in both." "I'm Federal Agent Jack Bauer and today is the longest day of my life." "Bob, what just happened?" "I can't hear you." "Bob, can you hear me?" "Bob?" "Bob, can you hear me?" "Bob, pick up the phone." "Somebody, pick up the phone." "Bob, can you hear me?" "Whoever's there, just pick up the phone." "Bob?" "Can anyone hear me?" "Just pick up the phone." "Pick up the..." "At the beep, leave a message for Bob Ellis..." "Oh, God." "No." "Think, Jack." "Just think." " Routing Operator." " Yes, this is Jack Bauer." "I want you to transfer me to Agent Watson in our New Orleans office." " Hold on, one moment please." " Thank you." "CTU, New Orleans." "Watson speaking." "This is Jack Bauer in Los Angeles." "You've a floating NSA operative in your region." "His name is Robert Ellis." "Something terrible has happened." "What do you want us to do?" "COMM will get you an address." "I want you to check it out." "Phone me as soon as you've got anything." "Jack?" "I'll transfer you now." " Jack?" " Not right now." "I'm busy." " You've got to see this." " What?" "These are surveillance shots of all three backup shooters." "I cross-referenced the files Ellis sent us with our Interpol records." " How long ago?" " Just now." "Any or all of them could still be targeting Palmer." "Or you." " Right." " I sent the photos to Secret Service." "Make sure they brief Palmer's staff." "I want them to keep their eyes open." "Right." "There's one more thing, though." "Johnny cool guy, here." "His name is Alexis Drazen." "He's Victor Drazen's son." "He was trained In Belgrade, Special Forces." "Good work." " Hello." " It's me." "I wanted to tell you we're not leaving town today after all." "What made the Senator decide to change his plans?" "He didn't say and I didn't ask." "I was just happy I would get to see you again so soon." "Well, I'm leaving a meeting right now." "I can be back at the hotel by 4:30." " Okay." "I know where to find you." " Okay." "Daniels In position 10-98." "Can you give me a Delta check?" "This is Daniels." "I'm in position." "Touch your ear if you hear me." "Paulson, do you read me?" "Yeah." "Breeher, talk to me." "How you looking?" "It's quiet on my end." "Paulson." "Yeah, Jack." "Hold on." "Excuse me, Mrs. Bauer?" "It's Jack." "Thank you." "Jack?" "How you doing?" "I'm doing okay." "Just trying to get some rest." "I couldn't help but feeling, after I hung up I don't know, that something was wrong." "No, I'm fine." "A lot has happened and I really need to talk to you." "Fine, then let's talk." "No, not now." "Now is not the time." "Why not?" "You do what you have to do and we'll talk when this is all over, okay?" "Okay." "I'm here at CTU If you need me." "I know." "Okay, bye." "The Senator's just arrived." "All right, folks." "I know you're all busy, so I'll be as brief as I can." "Good, you're just in time." "What's going on?" "Bauer sent photos of the people targeting you." "The threat against Senator Palmer remains a high probability." "But we have gotten a significant piece of heads-up intelligence." "These three men are the suspected shooters." "Since you're all on the front line of this campaign we're hoping you can expand our surveillance reach." "We can always use more eyes and ears In the field." "If you see anyone who you suspect as being one of these people let an agent know Immediately." "Everybody clear on that?" "What's wrong?" "All right?" "The fact is, Rick ran away before we could talk to him." " He was scared." " Apparently." "Whatever explanation he has doesn't change the fact that he's a fugitive." "If you know where he is and aren't saying, that constitutes for a serious..." "I don't know where he is." " Are you sure?" " What I'm sure of is he helped us escape." "If it wasn't for him, we would have never got out of there." "Kim." "When people are taken hostage it's not uncommon for them to feel a certain bond with their kidnappers." "Rick isn't a kidnapper." "Anyway, I don't know where he is." "I'm sorry, Nina." "I thought you were finished." "Whenever you're ready, we can pick up where we left off." "Okay." "Why don't you take a break and your mother and I can finish up in here?" "You okay?" " You sure you're okay to do this?" " Yes." "Sure." "Are you?" "Yes." "Listen, Nina..." "I don't want you to have to tiptoe around me." "Jack and I were separated when you slept with him." "I'm not going to hold that against you, okay?" "Okay." "You and Kim have both said that Rick helped you." "But talking to Kim, I get the sense that she's withholding something." "Based on what?" "She's protecting Rick." "She seems to have feelings for him, from what I can tell." "There may have been an attraction when she met him but if Kimberly knew anything, I'm sure she'd tell you." " Are you sure about that?" " She's my daughter." "I think I know her better than you." "Bauer." "It's David Palmer." " Sir, is everything all right?" " I'm not sure." "What's going on?" "A member of my Advance Team, Elizabeth Nash she recognized one of the assassins In the photos you sent Secret Service." "It's Victor Drazen's son, Alexis." " Does she know where he is?" " They're in contact." "Contact?" "What do you mean?" "In which context?" "Intimate." "Senator, is this person in a position to endanger your security?" "I'm afraid so." "She's pretty shaken up." "But she wants to help." "Good." "We've got to bring her into CTU now and question her." "I'll get a helicopter to you in a few minutes." "I'll have her ready." "Jack, what about Ellis?" "Did he retrieve the missing file on Operation Nightfall?" "I lost contact with Ellis." "Lost contact?" "What do you mean?" "We got interrupted in the middle of our phone call." "I have to be honest with you." "I've got a very bad feeling about this." "So what are you telling me?" "I'm telling you that for now, we have to assume that Ellis is dead." "Keep me posted." "Yes, sir." "Milo, get me Chopper Command." " Hello?" " Rick, it's Kim." "Hey." "This woman here, she's really pushing me hard." " What'd you tell her?" " The truth." " I told her that you helped us escape." " That's really going to save my ass." "I'm sorry." "I'm a little edgy right now." "I just think if you tell her what happened, it'll work out." "She won't believe me." "I don't know how much longer I can keep covering for you." "Okay." " Can she prove anything?" " I don't think so." "That's all that matters." "I appreciate what you're doing and all, but you probably shouldn't call here." " At least not for a while." " How long?" "I don't know." "Got to go." " Who's that?" " I don't know." "Just a wrong number." "I'm worked." "I'm going to crash for a while, okay?" "Is there anything else you can tell me about Gaines?" "Maybe a conversation you overheard?" " Who's Gaines?" " Ira Gaines, the leader of the group." "Right." " Teri..." " No, I'm fine." "Maybe we should take another break." "Maybe you should do your job, Nina." "Don't you have a job to do?" "I wish it were that simple." "Things tend to get complicated when you screw your boss." "This obviously isn't working." "No, it's not." "Sorry." "I thought I could stay calm and rational about this, but I can't do it." " I'm sorry." " There's no apology needed." "But I think Paulson should finish up here." "George." " What are you doing here?" " I'm the new quarterback." " Since when?" " Since right now." " What about Alberta Green?" " Back at District." "Chappelle thought you'd do a better job keeping an eye on me than she would." "I don't know, Jack." "Something like that, I guess." "So, it's really Drazen's boys that are after Palmer?" "This whole thing's been a revenge play for killing their father." "I know why they're gunning for you, but why are they after Palmer?" "Senator Palmer was head of the subcommittee that authorized the mission." "Got Ellis tracking down the file on that operation, right?" "I had Ellis." " I lost contact with him 20 minutes ago." " You think they took him out?" "Yes, I do." "We got a break on another front, though." "A Miss Elizabeth Nash, part of the Senator's Advance Team identified one of the shooters from photos that I'd sent over." "She'd been dating him." "She had no idea who he was." "She's shaken up, but she's on her way here for a debriefing." "Which one of them was she seeing?" "Alexis Drazen." "She's supposed to meet him in his hotel room in an hour." "Good." "That'll give us time to stage an arrest." "George, think about this." "What if she keeps her date?" "We'd have the upper hand in this thing." "See what we could learn." "Risky, isn't it, Jack?" "I'd have a squad across the hall ready to go before anything could possibly happen." "George, I think this is too big an opportunity just to pass up." " What time is she getting here?" " Ten minutes." " We'll talk to her, then we'll decide." " Absolutely." "She's going to the CTU office right now." "Why are they taking her there?" "They want to find out everything they can about Alexis Drazen." " Is that the brother?" " No, it's his son." " Let me call you back." " All right, I'll wait for your call." "Keith, come here." "What's up?" "We haven't had much of a chance to talk since last night and it seems like every time we do we're at each other's throats." "Everything's okay between you and me." "I guess you've noticed we haven't been on the same page today." "Yes, it's been kind of hard to miss." "The pressure's on." "It's testing all of us." "For sure." "That's what I wanted to talk about." "It stayed in my head, what you said a couple of hours ago about how Dr. Ferragamo has always been there for you when you needed someone, and I wasn't." "I'm sorry, but that's just how it was then." "It's all going to change." "Starting now." "I know I can't earn your trust overnight." "But if you just come to me when you need to talk I promise you, son I'll always be there." "Thanks, Dad." "So, what about Dr. Ferragamo?" "The police say anything?" "We haven't called yet." "What are we waiting for?" "We're not putting anything off, Keith." "It's just something else has come up." "Listen to me." "We have a security breach in our staff." "We have to deal with that first." "What kind of security breach?" " I can't tell you." " Dad, you can't tell me anything..." "Keith, I have to be able to make decisions around here without you challenging me." "Look, everything you're feeling..." "Now's the time I need you, Dad." "Not just to talk to me, but to do the right thing." "Keith!" "I will do the right thing at the right time." "Yes." "I'm sure you will." "I found Bauer's wife and daughter." "They were moved to a safe house." "Where are you?" "I'm almost in." "How many men are guarding them?" "I'm handling the situation, Andre." "Rest assured." "The women will be dead soon." "Call me the minute it's done." " Milo, can you help me with something?" " Yes." "What's wrong with the system?" "My terminal's locked." "I just downloaded all my files to here." "Now I can't..." "Damn it!" "Hold on a second." "Let me see." "Why can't I log in?" "What do you mean?" "Mason didn't tell you?" "Tell me what?" "They downgraded your privileges to 3-W." "You're the same as everyone else here." "I see." "Here." "This should get you into anything you need." " Thanks." " Jack, don't worry." "You're going to be back up in your office by tomorrow." "By tomorrow I'll be lucky if I'm not in federal custody." "I'm only on provisional status until the end of the day." "As soon as Senator Palmer leaves the state, I have to face these charges." "I'm sorry." "You're all set here." "Thanks." " Milo." " Yeah?" "Have you noticed anyone accessing anything unusual on the servers?" "What do you mean by unusual?" "I don't know." "Anything received or relating to sensitive intel?" "No." "But I mean, I haven't been looking for it." "Start looking." "Wait, you think there's another mole inside CTU?" "I don't know." "Just let me know if you find anything, okay?" "Okay." "All I'm saying is, don't test me." "I'm not testing you." "I will do what I said!" "Keith." "I am serious because I have nothing left to lose." "Not anymore." "I know you're upset." " That's right." " Okay, we should talk." "I'm glad you understand." "You know the Griffith Park Observatory?" "Yeah." "Can you meet me there now?" "Yeah, I can be there." "Fifteen minutes." " Be where?" " Nowhere." " Keith." " I'm trying to protect you." "The last time you tried to protect me, someone died." "Nicole, please." "I'm sorry." "That was a terrible thing to say." "The less you know..." "What's going on?" "Who were you talking to on the phone?" " You trust me, don't you?" " Trust goes both ways, Keith." "Carl." "Why?" "I don't want to spend the rest of my life with the regret I've been living with for years." " You didn't kill Gibson intentionally." "But I kept the truth from coming out and now with Dr. Ferragamo dead..." "I can't do that again, Nicole." "I won't." " I need your help." " For what?" "This Secret Service guy has been dogging me all day." " I need you to help me get past him." " He's here to protect us." "Everything that's been happening today..." "Everything that's still happening..." "It's not too late to change the way this all plays out." "Now, do you trust me or not?" "All right, good." "Okay." "All right." "Excuse me." "I was on the phone, and I heard a clicking sound and I'm wondering If that's my dad being bugged or If I'm just being paranoid." "Why don't we just check it out?" "Victor Drazen had two sons." "We know Alexls Drazen Is here." "I think we should assume Andre Drazen Is here as well." "With at least two other shooters, right?" "Potentially a third, assuming Ellis is dead." "Here she comes." "Miss Nash?" "George Mason, District Director." "This Is Agent Jack Bauer." "Mr. Bauer." "Senator Palmer told me about you." "He said I should do whatever you tell me and I could be sure that I'd be In good hands." "I appreciate that." "I must say, if you wish a lawyer present, you're entitled to that but we in no way consider you a suspect." "We just want to ask you a few questions." "I don't need a lawyer." "I'll cooperate in any way I can." "Okay." "Come on in." "Can I have something to drink?" "I'll get you a glass of water." "How did Alexis Drazen represent himself to you?" "He told me he ran an importing company out of Berlin." "He seemed successful." "He gave me this on our third date." "It must have cost him $10,000." "It's real." "Which is more than I can say for him." " When did you meet him?" " About a month ago, in DC." "I'm with the Senator's Advance Team." "We had some downtime and a few of us went out for drinks." "So you met him in a bar?" "When you're working on a campaign, you put your life on hold for a year." "There's always people around, but it's lonely." "You're supposed to meet Mr. Drazen in his hotel room in about an hour?" "That's right." "Miss Nash..." "Would you be willing to keep your appointment with Alexis?" " You want me to spy on him?" " Only if you feel comfortable." " If you have any doubts at all..." " We'd keep it simple." "We want you to plant a tracking device on him so we can trace his locations." "It's just the thought of seeing him again." "We would make it so that we could hear and see everything that took place." "You would be safe." "It's okay, we understand." "Jack, you want to head over to the hotel?" "I'll finish debriefing Miss Nash." "Yeah." "Mr. Bauer?" "You say that this might help protect the Senator?" " Yes, I think it would." " The Senator is perfectly safe." "He's got Secret Service men with him always." "That didn't stop Alexis from getting to me, did it?" "If they got to me, they might have gotten to somebody else." "I'll do it." "If something happened to Senator Palmer that I might have prevented, I could never forgive myself." "So, please..." "I have to do this." "He looks familiar, too." "I think I heard them call him Jenson." "Recognize him?" "How about him?" "You know this one?" "Yeah." "He was one of the guards." "I think they called him Eli." " Can you tell me anything about him?" " No." "Daniels, this is Breeher." "Daniels, this is Breeher." "These rooms with the monitors." "You say they had your father under surveillance." "From what I saw." "Even at CTU?" "I don't know." "What about you, Mrs. Bauer?" "Mrs. Bauer?" "It's very important we get through these questions." "Agent Paulson, I think we need to take a break." "My mom's very tired." "Yes, okay." "Mom, are you okay?" "Mom." "Ron." " Come with me." " What?" " Let's go." " Mom." " Come on, go." " Come on." "In here." "Lock the door." "Come out with your hands up." " Don't shoot." "I'm coming out." " Now!" "I'm coming out." "Drop the gun!" "Get down." "Down!" "Hurry." "Go!" "Get down!" "We're ready to go, gentlemen." "I'll fill you in with the rest when we get to the hotel." "That's where you'll meet the team." "Don't be nervous." "I'll be with you every step of the way." "Jack, I got to talk to you." "Secret Service'll take you to the helicopter." "I'll be there in one second." "What?" "They just found Ellis' body in a men's room in the French Quarter." " Do we have any leads yet?" " No, not yet." "Keep me posted." "What are you doing here?" "There was no reason to stay." "Teri and Kim are doing fine." "I specifically asked you to stay to make them feel safe." "They are safe, Jack." "I settled them in." "Paulson and Breeher are taking care of them and the extra security team is in place." "Hang on, Kim." " You okay, honey?" " Yeah." "I think we lost them." "I'm just going to go check." "I want you to stay right here, okay?" "Ferragamo's dead, isn't he?" " I have no idea." " Don't try to blow me off, Carl." "The authorities are looking at it." "Let them do their jobs." " We know they won't find anything." " I've gone through this with your father." " My father is his own man and so am I." " Okay." " Now you can go through it with me." " Let's go." "What do you need?" "Tell me what you need." "Ferragamo was there for me when nobody else was." "I might not be alive today if it wasn't for him." "He also betrayed your confidence, Keith." "He's the one who went to Maureen Kingsley." "That still doesn't justify murder." "What exactly are you hoping to do?" "Bring him back to life?" " No, I want justice." " Justice?" "Well, justice is a tricky thing, Keith." "Take Lyle Gibson, for example." "You want justice for that?" " Gibson's death was an accident." " Maybe so, but let's be objective." "He rapes your sister, you pay him a visit." "He ends up dead." "Accident could be a tough sell." "So if I go public with the truth about Ferragamo you go public with the lie about Lyle Gibson?" "Is that what you're saying?" "Oh, brother." "There's one catch here." "There are two cover-ups and you're involved in both of them so however it plays out is bad for you." " I can take care of myself." "No." "The moneymen behind my father's campaign take care of you." "If things get ugly, they'll make sure you're the one who takes the fall." "Won't they, Carl?" "Or maybe they'll do to you what you did to Dr. Ferragamo." "You are in way over your head." "And you're getting nervous." "I can smell it." "You listen to me." "Whatever you think you can do to me or anyone else it will be 100 times worse for you." " I'm not so sure." " Well, I am." "Because if you push things too far, they will do whatever they have to do." "Killing David Palmer's son might get a little messy." "I think they'd be a little more subtle than that." "I'm not following you." "There is some physical evidence in George Ferragamo's office that leads directly to you." "Subtle enough so the fire marshals didn't find it the first time around but with a little help, they'll find it." "So I'll be framed for Ferragamo's murder." "Like I said, whatever it takes." "That's why your father backed off and that's why you'll back off." "So I'll be framed for Ferragamo's murder." "Like I said, whatever it takes." "That's why your father backed off and that's why you'll back off." "Are you okay?" "What happened to you?" "What's your name?" "I don't remember." "You don't even know your name?" "You can't stand in the middle of the road." "Come on, get in." "I'll give you a ride." "Thank you." "I'm sorry." "Thank you." "Mom!"
