"[ Man ] Previously on 24." "Tell me about Ron Wieland." "[ Palmer ] He's going to go public with the rumor." " About the bomb?" " We're holding him at the O.C." "When the crisis passes, I'll let him go." "Sir, you'd better come out here." "What I find troubling is our president knows about this threat... and isn't saying anything to the public." "Who was controlling that room?" "Armus." "I wanna see him now." "[ Megan ] Kim, I'm scared!" "[ Kim ] Where are you taking her?" "She can't go back to L.A." "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.?" "It's a nuclear bomb." "What about my father?" "What's his connection to all this?" "He wrote a check to Syed Ali... for $475,000... in return for consulting services." "Maybe they were doing business." "Syed Ali's only business is bankrolling terrorists." "I'm a consultant... for the C.I.A." "[ Grunting, Screaming ]" "Let's go!" " [ Speaking Arabic ] - [ Michelle ] Nina:" "How big is the bomb?" " Nina, what did he tell you?" " Everything." "No!"

"[ Explosion ]" "[ Man ] The following takes place between 4:00 p.m. and 5:00 p.m." "Judy, I was illegally detained inside the president's retreat... for the last six hours." "That tells you the degree to which the president... did not want this information to come out." "Karen, that does me no good." "[ Karen On Phone ] What am I looking for?" "Ron Wieland has a source inside of this administration... and I need to know who." "[ Karen ] I'm on it." "Fine." "Then get back with me with that." "Okay." "No, I need the information." "Good." "What's going on?" "You tell me." "What does that mean?" "Ron Wieland's been contained for six hours." "Ten minutes after you met with him, someone let him out." "And you think it was me?" "Even if I had the resources, which I don't, why in God's name would I want to see Ron Wieland cause a panic?" "Especially today." "I don't know." "David, I had nothing to do with this." "I swear on the lives of our children." "Mr. President." "Wait here." "You find Armus yet?" "I want to know how Wieland got past him." "Take a look." "What's this?" "The digital playback from the surveillance feeds at O.C." "That's Armus." "This happened 25 minutes ago." "Armus let him out?" "Yeah." "Where is he now?" "We haven't found him yet." "Mr. President, if Armus is working covertly against you" "It's not covert now." "It's in my face." " We will find him, sir." " Oh, we'd better." "Because whomever he's working for... is trying to keep me from finding this bomb." "How long till we go down?" "Any minute." "The pilots think they've found us a safe place to crash land." "I've gotta get the coordinates to George." "George?" "Jack, what's happening there?" "We're going down." "The pilots don't know what's going on." "It felt like some kind of an explosion." "We're losing power up here." "They think they can make a safe crash landing... on a soft riverbed located in Sector J." "The coordinates are 34-30-44 north, 119-zero-niner-zero-five west." "Did you get that?" "Yeah." "Nina, there's a chance we're not gonna make it through this." "We need to know the location of the bomb now." "Nina, we've given you everything you've asked for." "Please!" "Jack, can she hear me?" "Hold on." "I'll put you on speaker." "Nina, the deal you asked for is in place." "You got your pardon." "What more do you want?" "Even if I provide this, Jack's gonna kill me anyway." "[ George ] That's what Phillips is there for-- to protect you." "He can't protect me from Jack." "Nina, all I want is the location of the bomb." "I give you my word." "I will not harm you in any way." "I don't believe you." "Where is the bomb?" "[ Jack ] Rick!" " Holster your weapon!" " At least do one last, good thing with your life." "[ George ] What's going on?" "Phillips, that's an order!" "Take your seat!" "This is Captain Richard." "I don't think we're gonna make it to the riverbed." "Everyone assume the crash position and get ready for impact." "George, we're going down now." "We're not gonna make it to the riverbed." "The coordinates I gave you, they're going to be off" "[ Loud Pop, Static Buzz ]" "Get the crash site coordinates from A.T.C. and send them to Search and Rescue." "A.T.C., this is C.T.U. I need the exact coordinates." "Okay, I'll prepare a statement in the next hour." "In the meantime, let's find Armus." "Yes, sir." "Sherry..." "I owe you an apology." "Why?" "What did Mike say to you?" "Richard Armus was the one who let Wieland go." "But Armus doesn't have his own agenda." "He must be working for someone else." "We're looking into it now." "I'm sorry I jumped to the wrong conclusion." "It's all right." "I, um" "I don't expect you to change your attitude towards me overnight." "Apology accepted." "David?" "What are you gonna do?" "Talk to the press." "I'm not sure how." "I may have to go after Ron's credibility." "Ron's credibility?" "Yes." "Make it look like his report was motivated by personal dislike, that it's not based in fact." "Yes, but it is based in fact." "Believe me, I wish there was another way." "Maybe there is." "Why don't you just tell the truth, David?" "It's what you do best." "I mean, you pulled it off with Keith, with our divorce." "You've earned the public's trust." "Just use it." "What?" "I'm just wondering if you've really changed... or if you've just gotten better at pretending." " Sir." " Yes, what is it?" "We just got word from C.T.U. in Los Angeles." "The plane Jack Bauer was returning in just went down." "It crashed?" "We're still waiting for details." "Oh, God." "[ Grunts ]" "[ Groaning ]" "Aaah!" "Rick." "Rick?" "Rick!"

" By some kind of ground-to-air missile." "[ Sniffles ]" "Compile a list of anybody that might have had access to their flight plan." "I think it's safe to assume whoever it was doesn't want us to find the nuke, and if Nina didn't die in the crash, they're gonna want to finish the job." "I have Search and Rescue scrambling now." "Make sure they're well armed." "And get me their E.T.A. as soon as you have it." "[ Sniffles ]" "Hey, George." "Richards told me that you had Warner and Naiyeer transferred to room seven." "That's right." "I had them separated for a reason." "Yeah, because I told you to, and it's not working." "So let's put them together and play them off each other." "I don't get you." "One minute you're trying to save your own ass." "The next you're trying to act as if you give a damn about anybody but yourself." "Hey, back off." "No, I'm not gonna back off." "Not today." "Now, what's going on?" "Remember the warehouse in Panorama City?" "Weapons-grade plutonium, airborne in the firefight?" "You were exposed?" "Yeah." "Said I'd be lucky if I make it through tomorrow." "I don't know what to say, George." "I'm sorry." "Me too." "Does anybody else know about this?" "Just Jack... and you." "Can we keep it that way?" "Do you need anything?" "Is there something I can do?" "Just do your job." "Let me do mine." "[ Door Opens ]" " [ Man ] Move back about five feet." " [ Door Closes ]" "So you're both claiming not to know Syed Ali, is that it?" " It's not a claim." "It's the truth." " Sit down." " I'd rather stand." " Sit down!" "Where the hell do you think you are?" "Wake up!" "Six hours ago, a cache of weapons-grade plutonium... was found in a warehouse in Panorama City." "We believe a nuclear bomb was assembled there, and it's set to be detonated today." "Nuclear bomb?" "We also found this in the warehouse." "What do you make of that, guys?" "This is a bill of lading from our company." "For a container sent to Syed Ali." "Which means at least one of you is lying right now." "Now, I'll let you two work that out between yourselves." "Whoever talks first... gets immunity." "It's a one-time offer." "It expires in 10 minutes." "Don't worry." "They're gonna come for us soon." "What's taking them so long?" "I don't know, but they'll be here." "We're leaving in just a second." "Where are we going?" " Central booking." " L.A.P.D.?" " That's downtown." " Yeah, I know where it is." "Oh, man." "What'd I tell you?" "I don't believe this." "Wait." "Someone from C.T.U. was supposed to come pick us up." "Can you call George Mason?" "The captain says it's out of their jurisdiction." "He overruled it." "Look, you're both suspects in a capital crime." "Okay?" " Look, we told you why we can't go back to L.A." " Yeah, I know." "The bomb." " Yes." " Well, I checked it." "There hasn't been a single departmental alert or elevated threat status." "They do not want the entire city to panic at the same time." "Do you think we're making this up?" "Call C.T.U. They'll tell you what's going on." "I'm a cop." "I have my orders." "Okay?" "I'm gonna sign you two out before I take you back to the city." "I don't believe this." "We can't go back to L.A." "As soon as my dad finds out, he'll fix things." "I don't think we should be counting on your father." "No offense, but you were right when you said how messed up he is." "Everything I've said about my father is because I was angry, and I blamed him for what happened to my mom." "Maybe you were right." "No." "No, listen." "It wasn't his fault, and he did the best he could." "It just all turned out wrong." "No." "This is crazy." "How can they keep us here without letting us see a lawyer?" "Huh?" "What are we gonna do?" "Nothing." "Because nothing we say will make any difference." "They'll find a way to make it look like we're involved." "With a nuclear bomb?" "I haven't done anything wrong!" "This is crazy!" "I have nothing to hide!" "What about you, Bob?" "What about me?" "You got anything to hide?" "Of course not." "No?" "No." "Well, you're the one who made the authorization to Ali." " No, I didn't." " No?" "Then who did?" "Don't interrogate me, Reza." "That's exactly what they want." "Yeah?" "Well, I'm not asking for them." "If you didn't make the authorization, Bob" "Naiyeer's levels are even." "Warner's spiking all over the place." "[ George ] No kidding." "[ Reza ] They also said... that you work for the C.I.A." "I let the C.I.A.... pass information through our distribution network a couple of times." "That's it." "Why didn't you tell me?" "Because it is none of your concern." "Yeah, well, I think it concerns me now!" "I think a nuclear bomb pretty much concerns everyone." "Don't you?" "You know what I'm thinking, Bob?" "I'm thinking that... all your generosity and acceptance... is just a load of crap." "Reza, you better sit down and shut up... before you say something you will regret for the rest of your life." "You lied to me." " I can track the shipping order." " Reza!" "Bob's code signature will show that he authorized the transaction order." "Get off of me!" "[ Bob ] Just stop it!" "[ Grunting ]" "The database is at the office." "I'll take you there." "Step outside." "I'm not taking the fall for you, Bob." "Come on." "[ Officer ] Take it easy." "[ Beeping ]" "Search and Rescue's been alerted." "We need that flare gun." "Hey, where's George?" "With Naiyeer." "He broke." "Look, he wanted an E.T.A. on the Search and Rescue." "Could you tell him they're about 12 minutes away from the crash site?" "Okay." "Tony?" "Yeah?" "What's going on with George?" "As far as what?" "He's sick, isn't he?" "He's got some kind of radiation poisoning, doesn't he?" "Where'd you get that?" "Hazmat's all over the warehouse he raided this morning." "So it's gotta be hot, right?" "I was just working with him, and his nose started bleeding." "That's after Shipler told me he was throwing up in the bathroom." "And it doesn't take a doctor to figure it out." "Besides, I can read your face pretty well by now." "Look, he doesn't want anybody else to know." "Okay?" " How bad?" " Pretty bad." " Can he run things in his condition?" " Yeah, I think so." "No, that's not good enough." "I mean, I feel bad for him, but if he's compromised mentally or physically" "He can do his job, Michelle." "He wants to do his job like I've never seen before." "He's determined to stop this bomb." "Yeah, well, so am I." "Which is why I think he should step down." "Look, I'll keep an eye on him." "The second he misses a step, I'll make sure he backs off." "You have enough to do without having to baby-sit him." "I'm not baby-sitting him." "Now, you gotta trust me on this." "[ Lynne ] Nick, I see that information as soon as you get it." "Oh, Lynne?" "Lynne, I made some notes on David's speech." "I thought maybe you might want to incorporate them." "How did you get that?" "I haven't even shown it to the president yet." "Jenny showed me a draft." "Well, she shouldn't have." "She's known me for a long time, Lynne." "She knows what I have to offer." "Mrs. Palmer, the president believes... that you can be an asset to him during this time of crisis." "That is why you are here." "He did not, however, give you license to insinuate yourself into every situation." "Wait, wait, wait." "Hold, hold, put your back down, Lynne." "I am not here to trespass on your territory." "I am here to help." "That's why I'm coming to you first before I go directly to David." "Mrs. Palmer, that sounds like a threat to me." "Unless David's speech is pitch perfect, which right now it is not," "Ron Wieland's allegations just might bring down this presidency." "I don't need you to tell me how important this speech is." "Then you owe it to David to look at my revisions." "Give me your hand." "[ Cuffs Ratcheting ]" "Come on." "[ Man ] We got a survivor over here."
