"Right now, terrorists are plotting to assassinate a presidential candidate." "My teenage daughter is missing." "And people that I work with may be involved in both." "I'm Federal Agent Jack Bauer." "Today is going to be the longest day of my life." "The following takes place between 7:00 a. m. and 8:00 a. m on the day of the California Presidential Primary." "It is just after 7:00 a. m." "on the West Coast and the California Primary is now officially underway." "We're here outside the San Clarita Power Plant in Los Angeles where Senator David Palmer will be addressing local labor leaders and some members of the state energy council." " Yes?" " Bauer's on his way." "Are you in yet?" "Just about." "Good." "This promises to be a landmark day as it is expected that Senator Palmer will get the delegates he needs to become the first African-American presidential candidate of a major political party." "Of the 11 states that will be looking for delegates today California is expected to be crucial." "Most of the polls say that David Palmer will win by a decisive margin." "Have you decided?" "I've rewritten the speech I was going to give this morning." "I'm going to tell them about Keith." "What are you going to say?" "The truth." "That seven years ago he was involved in an accidental death." "I need you to stand by me, Sherry." "It's the only way to protect Keith." "I will never forgive you if something bad happens to my son." "He's my son, too." "We'll get through this." "I hope so, David." "Good morning, honey." "Where's your sister?" "She changed her mind." "She's not going." "Really?" "She went to the airport to pick up Susie and Rachel." "That's right." "The Brenner girls are flying in." "So, what's going to happen this morning?" "We have to put this thing behind us, Keith." "By me being in prison and you in the Oval Office?" "Is that how we're going to put it behind us?" "You're not going to prison." "You didn't do anything wrong." "That's not how a jury will see it." "Why don't you just have a little faith in the system?" "What's this fairy tale that you're living in?" "The world's going to believe that I killed a white kid who raped my sister." "Do you think that anyone will believe it was an accident?" "Yes." " Then you're a fool." " Keith, no." "No, that's all right." "You talk about fairy tales." "You think you can run from this?" "You think it's going to make things better?" "I'm not running anywhere." "I'd just rather not spend my last hour of freedom with you." "Let's go and get this over with." "Martin Belkin?" "Yes." "Hi, I'm Jessica Abrams." "I work for Senator Palmer." " Hi." " Pleasure to meet you." "Can I help you with" " I got it." " Okay." "Great." "Follow me." "Is the Senator here yet?" "Not yet, but he is on his way." "Great." "I am a huge fan of your work." "Thank you." "I'm going to be taking some photographs of the Senator." "I need a check on a Belkin:" "B-E-L-K-I-N." "First name, Martin." "Clear on Belkin." "All right, copy that." "Thank you." "You can go in." "Turn right at the light." "You see the bus stop on your left?" "Yes." "Pull over to it." "Hey, Jack." "How are you doing?" "Don't touch it until I tell you to." "Now, go." "I'm not going anywhere until I can talk to my wife and my daughter." "You'll do this, because it won't be an inconvenience for me to hurt your daughter." "Or your wife, for that matter." "In fact, here she is." "Would you like to speak to your husband?" "Say anything you want." "Tell him you love him." " Jack." " Teri?" "I don't know where I am yet, and I haven't seen Kimberly" "You were saying, Jack, you're not sure you wanted to do this?" "That's what I thought." "San Clarita Power Station." "417 Ridgeway Road." "Get over there now." "This is only temporary, Mrs. Bauer." "If your husband follows instructions, you'll be released within the hour." "Where's my daughter?" "She's here and she's safe." "Could you take me to her, please?" "What, Milo?" " What happened to Nina?" " She got called out." "What am I supposed to do about this keycard?" "Because this was supposed to be the most important thing we're doing." "They brought me in here and now I'm just sitting around." "Nina's got some new intel that preempts this." "That's why she had to run out." "So, what should I be doing?" "Why don't you help me format some files?" "They didn't bring me in here at 5:00 a. m. to format files!" "Does this kid Milo know he's working on the wrong keycard?" "Is this going to be a problem?" "Nina Myers is dead." "Make up a story for why she's not there." "Mom." "Where's Dad?" "I don't know." "He knows we're in trouble?" "Yeah, he does." "He's doing everything he can, baby." "I'm sorry." "No, it's not your fault." "It's not your fault, honey." "Why don't you tell me about these boys?" "I met them through Janet." "She started dating this guy, Dan and his friend Rick came into town and we'd just hang out." " They kept you here the whole time?" " Yes." "Janet was hit by a car." "I know." "You do?" "We are going to get through this." "I promise you." "Come on, Jamey!" "Pick up!" " Almeida." " Tony." "Nina, where've you been?" "I can't get into it." "Force yourself." "Where are you?" "Just east of downtown." "What are you doing there?" "You have to listen to me carefully." "No one at CTU can know I'm alive." "Who would think you were dead?" "I can't tell you any more right now." "Where's Jamey?" "She's working with Milo." "Get her for me." "Not until you tell me what's going on." "Please, Tony." "This is an order." "I need your help." "All right." "Threatening e-mails, hate mail for Palmer." "This is a giant waste of time." "When is Nina coming back?" "Probably not for a couple of hours." "What makes you say that?" "I just talked to her." "When?" "A couple minutes ago." "She's at Division." "It's possible she'll be there all day." "What do you need?" "Never mind." "If somebody doesn't tell me what's going on right now I'm going to Chapelle." "I told you, I have to speak to Jamey." "Yes, and I just heard her tell Milo that you'll be at Division all day." "Oh, my God." " What?" " Who did she hear that from?" "She said she talked to you minutes ago." "Nina, what is going on?" "We can't trust Jamey." "Jack said CTU had been infiltrated." "Are you saying Jamey's a spy?" "Why else would she lie?" "She must think I'm dead." "Why would she think that?" "I'll explain later." "You have to bring me back in now." "Okay, I'll come get you." "No, stay there." "Act as if everything is all right." "Jack was behaving very strangely back at CTU." "These people must be watching us." "I don't know, probably through our own surveillance." "All right, look." "I'll send a car." "What's your address?" " Senator." " How are you?" "All you have to do now is get through security." "Jack Bauer, CTU." "I've been cleared by Frank Simes." "All right, I'll need you to open the case." "What do you need a laptop for?" "Everything that we've compiled on Palmer over the last eight hours is in there." "You want to lift that up, please?" "Turn it on." "Press any two buttons." "All right, go ahead." "Where is Senator Palmer now?" "He's on his way up." "Good." "Excuse me." "Jack Bauer?" "Jessica Abrams?" "What are you doing here?" "I'm working security." "How many years has it been?" "Since high school?" "Yes." "I'm sorry, I've got to get going." "Are you still racing motorcycles?" "Keep moving, Jack." "Not since my daughter was born." "I'd like to catch up." "Maybe later." "I've just got to get going." "Great, I'll be here." "What do I do now?" "You'll hand the briefcase to one of our people." "Who?" "I'll tell you when it's time." "Go wait by the buffet table." "Senator, I'd like you to meet Martin Belkin." "Good you could make it, Martin." "Jessica says you're the best." "Thank you." "I look forward to working with you." "Honey, you're so tired." "I brought you some breakfast." "Is Kim okay?" "Who are you?" "Rick." "You kidnapped my daughter." "I didn't know." "How could you not know?" "I tried to help her get out, okay?" "Gaines wants to go over some things with us." "What's going on here, Rick?" "Nothing." "Don't make friends." "I wasn't." "Good, they ain't gonna be around much longer." " What do you mean?" " Move it." "Okay, time to move, Jack." "Head across the floor." "Excuse me." "Excuse me." "Okay, head towards the south wall." "Hello, Jack." "Hello, Jess." "Do you remember Tracy Zigler?" "Yes." "I just saw her last winter." "We keep in touch and she said you and Teri got divorced." "Get out of there." "No, we just got separated." "Jared, take care of this." "If you want to get in touch, reach me at this number here." "Are you all right?" "I'm fine." " Sorry." " No, it's fine." " You sure?" " Yeah." "He's heading across now." "Make a left in front of the turbines." "Show him your ID." "Jack Bauer, CTU." "That's my boy." "Go to the end." "On the left is Medical Station 3." "I'm here." "It's where I want you." "Go in and wait." "Oh, my God." "What happened to you?" "I'm okay." "You don't look okay." "Is it safe to come in here?" "Yeah, I looped the cameras." "They can't see us." "Why is Jack doing all this?" "They've kidnapped his wife and daughter." "How long have you known this?" "Not long." "You chose not to tell me." "That's right." "I was acting on orders." "Screw orders!" "Tony, I'm sorry." "Where's Jamey?" "She's still working with Milo." "So what do you want to do?" "Restrain her and call in Division?" "No, we can't call anyone yet." " We've gotta do something." " I know." "This whole thing must be about Palmer." "They're using Jack to stop the investigation?" "Maybe." "Hang on." "We've got to do something." "You sure this room is dark?" "I checked the log." "There are no active cameras." "We've got to call Secret Service." "No." "The people holding Teri and Kim will think Jack gave the order." "I hate to say it, but it's not our problem." "We have to protect Palmer." "We got to make the call now." "Wait." "Jack wouldn't put Palmer's life in danger." "Let's try to find out more before we do anything." "Are you ordering me not to call Secret Service?" "No, you're right." "Hi, it's Tony." "Can you get me Agent Pierce's number?" "Assemble it." "You want my prints on this weapon?" "Do you really think that anybody's going to believe that I shot David Palmer?" "You better put that away." "Somebody might get hurt." "Milo, come here." "You were right." "About what?" "The keycard was a forgery." "We found the original." " Where?" " Jack's office." "Why did he swap it out?" "It doesn't matter." "I sent it to Archiving to make a backup of all the data." "Then, it's going straight to you." "You'll have to work quickly." "Just get it to me." "A forged keycard?" "What's that about?" "I have no idea." "She's squirming." "Almeida." "This is Pierce from Secret Service." "I called because we have some new information you should know about." "One of our agents, Jack Bauer, might be there today." "Yes, he's here." "I cleared him." "We learned that he may have been compromised." "He may not be acting to protect the Senator." "Are you saying he's a threat?" "Yeah." "Take the appropriate actions." "She's on the move." "Okay, ladies restroom." "Second to last stall." "The cameras are on a 20-second loop." "Am I clear?" "No, not yet." "Go." "Got 20 seconds." "Get out!" "Now!" "The fatter your paycheck, the more taxes you can afford." "That's right, Senator." "Excuse me, guys." "What's up?" "I got a call from CTU." "We need to get you out, sir." "Why?" "There's a problem with one of their agents." "What kind of problem?" "He could be a threat to you." "If he's one of ours, why not find him and take care of this quietly?" "We are trying, sir." "I'll tell you what." "I'll lose the face time, but the speech stays." "There's something I have to say this morning." "With all due respect, I think it's a mistake, sir." "This information comes directly from CTU headquarters." "I am sure your people will take care of us." "Everyone on the floor, listen up." "This is Pierce." "Palmer has decided to proceed." "I repeat, Palmer will remain." "We need to locate and detain a suspect whose name is Jack Bauer." "Bauer is 5'11 "." "Blond hair, 160 pounds." "He is wearing a dark brown jacket that may display CTU ID." "This is Hanks." "I have a possible 20 on Bauer." "How should I proceed?" "Hold your position." "I'll be there." "Copy." "Hi, Jamey." "What's this all about?" "Why don't you tell us?" "I have no idea what you're talking about." "Who were you contacting in the bathroom?" "None of your business." "It was personal." "Are they the same people who set me up to be killed?" "Set you up to be killed?" "What are you talking about?" "We don't have time for this." "Talk to us, Jamey." "Who's got Jack's wife and daughter?" " What are they making Jack do?" " I don't know." "Richard Walsh is dead." "So is Scott Baylor." "You'll be charged with murder and treason." "I suggest you start telling me what's going on." "They said no one would get hurt." "Who are they?" "I can't tell you." "Tell us everything!" "It's your only way out!" "Do you understand?" "I was just supposed to tap into the surveillance of all the security cameras." "Then they asked me to send messages from inside." "What messages?" "Mostly about Jack." "Then about the keycard." "I didn't know this was going to happen." "You have to believe that." "Fine, we do." "But now you need to help us." "Who were you doing all this for?" "No." "I have to talk to someone first." "What?" "No!" "There is no time, Jamey." "Palmer is exposed." "Jack's family is in danger." "You have to start talking to us now!" "All right, Jamey." "I'll make sure they cut you a deal, okay?" "No." "I'm not saying anything, not until I get agency counsel." "Sit!" "As mayor of LA, I'm often given the opportunity to meet some truly remarkable people." "People that strive for the greater unity." "People that work to make our world a better place." "One of those people is here today." "Ladies and gentlemen, the next President of the United States and my good friend, David Palmer." "I love you, Kimberly." "You know that?" "Yeah." "Good." "It's important that you know that." "Mom, if you're feeling guilty about our fight yesterday I'm over it." "I just want to get home." "It's not why I'm saying that." "We're stuck in this awful place and I just want you to know that you're not alone." "Mom, you're scaring me." "Sounds like you're saying this 'cause something bad will happen." "It's just..." "I'm trying to explain to you what a simple, powerful thing my love for you is." "So, no matter how bad things get or how good they get, that's not going to change." "I just don't know how to do anything but love you." "Thank you." "Thank you very much." "Thank you." "I'll be right back." "Thank you, Mayor Nelson." "And thank you, kind citizens of Los Angeles." "Identification, please." "You know, this country depends on a healthy economy in California." "And the nucleus of that economy is energy." "All right, Jack." "Step out." "We're ready for you." "To do what?" "Relax." "It will be over in five minutes." "Do you see the photographer?" "Yes." "Go over and join him." "After he shoots Palmer, he will hand you his weapon." "You've got to be kidding me." "I know you'll be tempted to intervene, but you must believe me if you do, your family dies and we'll get Palmer anyway." "I understand." "When I started my campaign over a year ago I made a promise to you who've supported me." "That my campaign would be built on integrity, commitment and above all, honor." "Agent Bauer." "Alan Hayes, Secret Service." "I need you to come with me." " What's the matter?" " Just come with me." "Seven years ago..." " Get him out of here." " Get Sherry." "Palmer's being shielded." "But why?" "Bauer?" "What's happening?" "Did you screw me?" "I didn't do this." "Please, don't hurt my family." "Don't hurt my family." "I'll help." "I promise." "Please!" "That's it, we're done." "Kill the wife and kid!" "Get out of here!" "I don't have time for this." " Hello?" " What do you want?" "Division picked up Bauer at the power plant." " They've been looking for him all night." " Why?" "He's been breaking protocol since you got to him." "Damn it!" "Eli." "I still need them alive." "Both of them?"
