"I'm aware that your generals are pushing you toward a military response." "Until you have the component," "I have no choice but to continue on our present path." "The man who has the component is no longer working with the Chinese." "He's offered to trade it back to us, and I've authorized the exchange." "Phillip Bauer is a sociopath." "We can't trust that he'll give us that component" "*** whatever***" "*** ***re probably on their way' to arrest me." "They're here." "Send the kid down now." "Show the sub-circuit board first." "I need to verify it." "There they are." "They've got Josh." "I don't have a clear shot without putting Josh at risk." "Get down!" "I want you to get me the names and locations of every offshore oil platform within a ten-mile radius." "My father didn't pick this location at random." "Morris,no luck tracing the oil leases through the CNC server." "You okay?" "Yeah." "I'm fine." "My God!" "Chloe!" "Chloe?" "Could someone please help me?" "Darling?" "Darling?" "Can you hear me?" "Can someone please help me?" "!" "the following***" "Joshua." "I don't want to be here with you!" "We're not staying here." "We're leaving." "I don't want to go anywhere with you." "Look,Josh,I don't expect you to understand everything." "Not now,anyway." "Someday,you will,and you'll thank me for it." "In the meantime,you'll do as you're told." "Is that clear?" "Good." "**ÎÒÃÇ×¼±¸ºÃÁË" "The submarine is on schedule." "How soon before they pick us up?" "30 minutes." "Her vitals are strong.She's in no immediate danger." "Then why did she collapse?" "Dehydration." "Exhaustion." "She hasn't slept in 36 hours." "He said I'm fine,Morris.It's not a big deal." "You should be at your workstation." "No." "I should be right here with you." "You should be checking the EPA database, to see what oil platforms are owned by Phillip Bauer." "Other people can do that." "If you really want to make me feel better, then go find Phillip Bauer." "Are you sure you're all right?" "Okay,then." "Morris,is Chloe all right?" "The doctor's still running some tests,but he says she's going to be fine." "Jack was right about his father." "One of his companies owns a federal lease on an oil platform six miles offshore." "That's where you think Phillip Bauer's keeping the boy?" "Well,the platform's been decommissioned." "Okay." "Give me the wheel,Nadia." "Let's try a thermal scan.See if we can pick up any signs of life." "That's awfully crowded for a decommissioned platform." "Can you back-time the satellite imagery a few minutes?" "Okay,there." "That must be Josh Bauer arriving." "That would be 20 minutes after he was taken." "The timing works." "Send a copy of this to my screen,and forward it to the White House." "Will do." "Get me Tom Lennox,please." "Dr. Hastings here." "This is Morris O'Brian." "Have Chloe O'Brian's test results come in yet?" "You just left here a few minutes ago,Mr. O'Brian." "We're still running those tests." "Well,when do you expect the results?" "Soon." "Can you call me when you get them?" "I'm afraid I can't release that information." "Not without Ms. O'Brian's permission." "I'm her husband." "Ex-husband." "I'm sorry, but I can only share information with Ms. O'Brian's family." "Fine." "And reports indicate the Russians are setting up an offensive position." "All right." "Thank you." "Meaning they can attack our base at a moment's notice." "That's correct,sir." "Sir,that was CTU." "They've just located Phillip Bauer and a dozen or so confederates on an oil drilling platform six miles off the coast of Los Angeles." "And he has the sub-circuit board?" "We are assuming so,sir." "I'll pass this on to Suvarov.Maybe it'll buy us some more time." "Meanwhile,I want an assault team dispatched to that oil rig." "Mr. Vice President,if I may?" "Go ahead,Ethan." "If the platform is well-defended, an assault team might run into trouble." "I recommend an air attack." "Two Navy F-18's could obliterate that platform and everyone on it." "What about the sub-circuit board?" "If it's not destroyed in the attack, it'll sink into the ocean, the salt water will render it useless in minutes." "Tom?" "Sir,we think Phillip Bauer's grandson is on that same platform." "Now,he might well survive a surgical strike by an assault team, but there's no way he's going to live through this proposed aerial attack." "We are talking about an innocent 16-year-old boy here." "None of us like this any more than you do, but if the Russians attack our base, a lot of innocent young men are going to die." "And the truth is, an air strike would be the most effective from a political point of view,as well." "It'll show the Russians that we're sparing no effort to destroy the sub-circuit board." "Send the F-18's immediately." "Yes,sir,Mr. Vice President." "You're gonna be all right,Mike." "You're going to make it." "Jack,I'm sorry." "You were following your orders." "Get the kid..." "Get the kid,Jack." "I will." "Did you find my father?" "Yes." "We believe that he's on a decommissioned Tomol oil platform,six miles offshore." "Were you able to confirm that Josh is with him?" "Thermal scan shows three people arriving on the platform 20 minutes after Josh was taken, so it's highly likely he's one of them." "Nadia,I want to lead the assault team." "There's not going to be an assault team,Jack." "What are you talking about?" "I just got notification that the White House has ordered an air strike by Navy F-18s." "The Vice President thinks an assault team will take too long." "I couldn't call those jets back if I tried." "When is it going to happen?" "In less than 30 minutes." "Look,I need you and Bill to come back to CTU on Aerial One for an immediate debrief." "Jack?" "Fine." "What's wrong?" "CTU located my father and Josh on one of the offshore oil platforms." "There's not going to be an assault." "They've launched an F-18 air strike." "No one on that platform is going to survive." "I'm sorry,Jack." "Jack,don't even think about it." "You'll only get yourself killed." "You won't save Josh." "Look,I realize he's your nephew..." "I'm not going to do something because he's my nephew." "I'm going to do something because he's an innocent kid being written off as some kind of an acceptable loss." "It's wrong." "Nadia has ordered us back to CTU in Chopper One." "I'm going to take it." "I'll fly." "You prep the weapons." "It's been a while,but I can get us to the platform." "With any luck,I might even be able to get us back." " You don't need to do this,Bill." " Yes,I do." "I don't want to live with this one either." "Let's get ready." "You're going to need that." "We're commandeering your helicopter." "Get out." "***" "Fixing target coordinates." "Be in range in 22 minutes." "Sir,significant numbers of Russian troops have assumed a flanking position along the eastern rim of our military base." "What am I to take from that?" "A tactical advancement like that indicates imminent attack." "All right." "Put him through." " Sir?" " You got Suvarov?" "Yes,sir." "Mr. President,this is Vice President Daniels." "Mr. Vice President,the last time we spoke, you said an opportunity had presented itself." "Unfortunately,that didn't work out, but there has been a significant new development, and I'm asking you to hold off on any military assault on our base." "For what reason,sir?" "The Chinese agents who are in possession of the component have been tracked to an oil platform off our West Coast." "We assume they're there awaiting transport to China." "I've ordered an air strike to destroy the platform before that rendezvous can happen." "I realize that... you have no reason to accept what I'm telling you." "Not without proof,at least,but I implore you..." "Mr. Vice President,I believe you." "Just moments ago,one of our listening posts intercepted a transmission to a Chinese submarine operating in the western Pacific." "The point of origin is ten miles off your coast." "And the contents suggest that the submarine is en route to pick up the component." "Then you know that I'm telling you the truth." "You say you have already launched an air strike against this oil platform." "Yes." "That's the only way we can make absolutely certain that the component's been destroyed." "Sir, we're prepared to give you a real-time uplink to our satellite feed of the assault operation." "One moment,please,sir." "Uh,how long until your fighters reach the target?" "Less than 20 minutes,sir." "20 minutes, Mr. President." "Very well, but be advised, nothing less than the complete destruction of this oil platform will give us the assurance we require." "Understood." "Stand by." "The satellite feed will be there momentarily." "I wish you luck,Mr. Vice President." "Yes,the Coast Guard and the Navy are coordinating directly." "They're patrolling a five-mile perimeter around the target." "Yes,sir." "I'll keep you in the loop." "What is it,Morris?" "Jack's commandeered a CTU chopper." " He's requesting an uplink to our satellite feed." " What?" "He's on the way to the oil platform." "He's with Bill Buchanan." "Arial One,please confirm." "Come in." "This is Bauer." "We copy." "Look,Jack,I know you want to save your nephew, but I can't authorize a suicide mission." "We don't need your authorization,Nadia, we need your help." "Those F-18s will be within striking range in 18 minutes." "What if we find the component first?" "It won't make a difference." "The strike team's orders are non-contingent." "All you're gonna do is get yourselves killed." "Nadia,it's Bill." "Look, I understand the pressure you're under, but you have to believe me when I tell you-- this is the right call to make." "Morris said you need a visual on the oil platform?" "Yes." "We need to know how many hostiles are on the platform and where they are." "Uploading the latest satellite capture." "Okay,you'll have it in a few seconds." "Copy that." "Send it to my PDA." "PDA?" "Got it." "Thank you,Nadia." "You did the right thing." "Bill,I need you to put your comm unit in." "How should I make our approach,Jack?" "Wind's heavy out of the west." "If we fly into it and stay low to the water, we should be able to catch them off-guard." "It won't buy us much time." "We'll have to engage them from the air." "I'll hold them off so you can land, then we'll move in." "The radar is locked onto the target." "Josh." "We'll leave in 15 minutes." "Please just let me go." " I can't do that." " Why not?" "Because I can't." "You have a lot to learn." "Now,it's my responsibility to teach you." "The first lesson is... pay attention." "Äã¿Ï¶¨£¿" "ÊÇ. ****" "¶à½ü?" "***" "******" "What is it?" "There's a helicopter approaching." "We need to get to the boat and head west." "There's a locator beacon onboard." "The submarine will pick us up." "Here." "Take the component." "I'll see about the helicopter." "I'll join you shortly." "let's go, josh." "Once we hit the deck,we're gonna have to move hard." " You ready to move up?" " Ready!" "Take it up!" "We're clear to land!" "°ÑËûÉ±ÁË °ÑËûÉ±ÁË" "Don't move!" "Where's the boy?" "Where is the boy?" "!" "You're too late." "You're too late." "Take this." "Get him up to the chopper" "What are you doing?" "I'm gonna make sure Josh isn't on this platform." "We only have ten minutes!" "Get up!" "Get up!" "Come on,Josh." "Stop it." " I can't." " Of course you can." "All it takes is a little self-control." "You're behaving like a child." "You have to learn to control your emotions." "You must never let them control you, you understand?" "Target will be in range in four minutes,30 seconds." "I'm not going with you." "You're not gonna shoot me." "Give me the gun." " Now." " No." "As long as you're alive, me and my mom will never be safe." "Josh,listen to me." " I've always cared about you." " No!" " You only care about yourself." " That's not true." " You're the reason I'm doing all this." " Shut up!" "I love you,Josh." "Josh!" "It's all right." "I've got him." "You can lower that weapon." "Josh!" "Lower your gun." "I know how scared and angry you must feel right now." "I know." "I've been exactly where you are." "I know exactly how you feel, but you'regonna have to trust me on this." "You do not want to live with the pain of taking another person's life, even if you think they deserve it." "In a few minutes,there's gonna be an F-18 air strike on this platform." "We need to get out of here.We need to get out of here now." "Please." "It's all right.Just give me the gun." "It's all right.It's all right.It's over." "It's over." "I need you to get up to the top of the platform and get in the chopper now." " Go." "Move!" " What about you?" "I'll be right behind you!" "Keep going!" "Get up." "Get up!" "It's over." " Then finish it." " No." "You are gonna be held accountable for what you have done today." "I don't think so." "You don't have time to carry me, not if what you said about the air strike is true." "And you don't want to die.Not here." "Not with me." "You're gonna get off easy." "CTU,this is Aerial One." "My count shows the strike in two minutes." "Negative." "You have 90 seconds before those F-18s are within striking range." "You need to get off that platform now." " Bill." "Confirm." " Copy that!" "Stand by!" " Where's Jack?" " He's with my grandpa." "Get in!" "Mr. Vice President,the target is in range." "Strike team reports... missile lock." "Take it out." "Echo six-four is clear to engage." "Echo six-four,you are clear to engage." "Wait!" "We can't leave without my uncle!" "We're not leaving." "Hang on." "Jack,I'm coming around to the south." "Meet me on level three." "Copy that,Bill." "I'm on it." "Bill,I see you.I'm on the southwest corner." "Fox One,fire." "Aerial One,please confirm." "Bill,please confirm." "Bill,this is Nadia." "Do you copy?" "CTU,this is Aerial One.We copy." "I've got Jack and his nephew, and Cheng in custody." "We're heading back to CTU." "We'll have a landing crew standing by,sir." "Strike team reports multiple direct hits." "Satellite recon is reporting... target is completely destroyed." "Good work." "Mr. President,you're seeing what we're seeing." "Yes,we are." "We concur that the target has been eliminated." "Then I trust you're satisfied that the component's been destroyed,as well." "I am." "I'm ordering the full withdrawal of our troops from the eastern rim of your military base." "Good,Mr. President." "You will excuse me if I wait until your troops are completely withdrawn before I order our squadrons in the air to stand down." "Yes,of course." "And Mr. Vice President..." "I regret that the events of this day have brought us to such a dangerous and unfortunate situation,but... when my country's security is threatened..." "I understand,Mr. President,all too well." "Yes,I'm sure you do." "My best wishes for the recovery of President Palmer." "Thank you." "Good-bye,Mr. Vice President." "What the hell happened?" "He fell!" "Uncle Jack fell!" "All right,I'm going back." "He's all right." " Where are we going?" " Back to CTU." "No,we can't." "We have to go back for him." "Jack's not ready to go back yet." "You should know,sir, we've received confirmation the Chinese have recalled their sub to its base in Ningpo." "Tell Admiral Smith to have one of our subs shadow them." "I want the Chinese to know that we're aware" " of their activities." " Yes,sir." "And thank you,Ethan,for everything." "Extend my gratitude to the Joint Chiefs." "Congratulations,Mr. Vice President." "Sir,not to quash your flush of victory here... the actions of the Chinese cannot go unaddressed." "We'll leave that for another day,Tom." "Right now,I don't know about you, but I could use some sleep." "There's just one other outstanding issue I would like to discuss with you,sir." "Karen Hayes." "Sir,she's about to be transferred into FBI custody." "Now in light of the recent terrorist attacks,the nuke in California, the plot against the President," "I just think we need to preserve whatever fragile faith the American people might still have in this administration." "Just let Karen and Bill resign with their reputations intact." "All right,Tom." "Take care of that for me." "All right.Thank you,sir." "Here's that tape recording you asked for." " Hey." " Hi." " How you feeling?" " Good." "Jack got the boy." "They're both safe." " What about the Russians?" " They backed off." "They were satisfied that the component was destroyed." "And Jack's father?" "He was killed in the air strike." "And Cheng's in custody." " Good." " Look..." "I was talking to Dr. Hastings." "He says the test results are in,but he's not telling me anything.He insists I talk to you." "Is it... serious?" "Yeah." "Bloody hell,Chloe,whatever it is, I'll help you get through it." "No,you won't." "We're not together." "Oh,sod that." "Really,come on,when you collapsed, I thought something might really be wrong." "I can't lose you,darling." " Really?" " Yeah,really." "I love you." "Okay." "That's good,'cause I'm pregnant." "You mean what?" "With child?" "That's usually how it works." " Chloe..." " You know... this is a nice moment." "Let's not ruin it by saying something stupid." "Let's just go back to work." " Okay." " Okay." " Tom?" " Karen." "You've come to say good-bye?" "Well,in a manner of speaking." "You're free to go.The Vice President is dropping all charges against you." " What about Bill?" " He's being pardoned,as well." "Of course,the Vice President's still expecting your resignations, but,uh... you're free to go live your lives without fear of prosecution." "Is that suitable?" "Yes." "Yes." "Yes,it is." "All right." "Well,good luck." "I know you had a hand in this,Tom.Thank you." "You know,Karen,I actually think I'm going to miss you." "Really?" "I can answer that better after you've gone." "There's your mother." "You'll be debriefed at a federal detention facility." "My people will not abandon me like you abandoned Jack Bauer." "Get him out of here." "It's good to see you again,sir." "You did good work today." "You should be proud." "Thank you.That means a lot coming from you." "Where's Jack?" "He fell from the chopper into the ocean during the extraction." "He made it to shore; he's fine." " Why didn't you pick him up?" " He didn't want me to." "I don't understand." "We need to find him." "We'll never find him." "Not if he doesn't want us to." "Let him go." "Somehow it just doesn't feel real." "But I am grateful that she's alive." "Of course.I'll let you know.Thanks." "Put it down." "Now." " Are you here to kill me?" " Depends." "Where's Audrey?" "I told you before,you're not getting anywhere near my daughter..." "You do not tell me what to do anymore!" "Do you understand me?" "You do not tell me what to do." "I just watched my father die... and I felt nothing.You know why?" "Yeah,you know why." "Because that man was dead to me years ago." "I admired you,I looked up to you like a father." "You were the kind of man I wanted to be." "And you took advantage of it!" " Jack,listen to me." " No!" "You are going to listen to me." "Earlier today, you said that I was cursed." "That anyone I touched... ended up dead or ruined." "How dare you." "How... dare you." "The only thing I did, the only thing I have ever done, is what you and people like you have asked of me." "Why didn't you try to get me out of China?" " I did try." " Not hard enough!" "You had the political power." "Was the timing not right?" "Was it a little too complicated?" "Or was I just an acceptable loss?" " Jack,I understand your anger..." " Shut up!" "You don't understand a thing about me." "But I know you." "I know why you're angry at me." "And it wasn't because Audrey went to China to save me." "It was because when you told her not to, she did it anyway." "You'll never understand that kind of commitment, that kind of loyalty." "You're right,Jack." "It wasn't fair of me to put all this on you, to blame you for what happened to Audrey." "I know the sacrifices you've made." "I know this country owes you more than it will ever repay." "I'm not interested in what you think this country owes me." "I want my life back, and I want it now." "Audrey's all I've got." "And you can't stop me." "In case you've forgotten, I'm very good at disappearing." "And if you try sending someone after us,I'm kill them." "I'm pretty good at that,too." "Simply getting your life back,Jack, isn't going to change who you are." "And you can't walk away from it." "You know that." "You've tried it." "Sooner or later you're going to get back in the game." "And my daughter's going to pay the price, like your wife did." " You son of a bitch." " Jack," "I beg you,just stop for a moment and think." "Think,Jack." "You won't be able to take care of her the way you want to." "Where is she?" "Take me to her now." "It's me." "I'm here." "I know that I promised... to take care of you... and protect you..." "But I'm at a crossroads." "Right now,the best way..." "The only way... to do that is to let you go." "I hope one day you can understand that." "I hope one day you can forgive me." "I love you with all my heart." "And I always will."
