" Roger, it's good to see you." " I'd like to talk to you about this meeting." "I don't trust the ambassador." "We can't ignore the possibility that his country is supporting Second Wave." "We want to prevent this incident." "We need access to your files." "I want you to monitor how they use our intel." "It's the ambassador's chopper." "It crashed just after takeoff." "There's a man here who needs to talk to you." " "Who is it?" - "He's from the government." A counterterrorism agency?" "I told you before." "I do not know a Syed Ali." "How do you explain the fact that his name is in your personal computer file?" "There's a nuclear bomb in Los Angeles." "Do what I tell you." "Go now." "Miguel, get over here, please." "He said there was a nuclear bomb in the city." " Well, let's get outta here." " We can't." "Not without Megan." "George, I got to Wald." "I found out who commissioned him to take out C.T.U." " "Who was it?" - "It was Nina Myers."" "Nina?" "Nina killed your wife." "I don't want you anywhere near her." "We're gonna have to grant her a shadow asylum." " That sounds like a pardon, sir." " She has information... that could help us find this bomb." " What is it?" " They're gonna let her go." "George, I know you were exposed to high levels of radioactive materials this morning." "I want to know what your plans are for Nina." "I want the case." "I know how she thinks." "If you don't, I'll phone District, tell them about your condition." "They'll have you replaced within minutes." "Palmer just signed the pardon, so as soon as it gets here... you can start the interrogation." "Nina's file." "I don't need it." "The president's here." "" Can we get a statement?"" "" Mr. President!"" "Can you give us any details about the helicopter crash?" "Tell us who was on the aircraft." "Are there any survivors?" "We cannot disclose any more information about the crash... until the families of the victims have been notified." "But I can promise you there will be a careful and thorough investigation." " Mr. President!" " Let's go." "Everyone, please." "We will be putting out a formal statement... as soon as we get those issues resolved." "And I ask everyone to refrain from speculation until that time." "No one outside of Jenny releases a statement on the crash." "No names, no speculation." "We keep the lid on tight." "Absolutely, sir." "Hello, David." "How did you get in here without my authorization?" "We were married for many years." "Many people respect that." "Even if you don't." " I need to talk to you." " We have nothing more to talk about." "You're not my wife anymore, Sherry." " It's not about us." " Then what?" "Not here." "I need to be alone with you." "You know what?" "Even if I were interested in what you had to say... today is impossible." " You shouldn't have come here." " It's about your administration." " What about it?" " Just give me five minutes." " I don't have time now." " Did you order an evacuation... of military personnel out of Los Angeles?" "Who told you that?" "Five minutes, David." "Wait here." "I'll call you." "Do we know anything about the military moving personnel out of Los Angeles?" "No." "Sir, you specifically requested there'd be no evacuation." " Check into it." " I certainly will." "You're doing business with a known terrorist... and you're gonna sit there with a straight face and tell me you don't know what's going on?" "I grew up in London." "I'm marrying an American girl." "A Protestant." "So, if you're gonna racially profile me... you should at least get it right." "Our main targets are European Muslims... with western educations, passports... and the potential to blend into western society." "So tell me, Reza... how's my racial profiling going now?" "I want a lawyer." "No." "Did they find the black box yet?" "Not yet, Mr. President." "Damn it, Roger." "How could something like this happen?" "I don't know, sir." "I've opened a multi-agency investigation." "N.T.S.B. Is on the way." "Lynne, schedule a call with the prime minister as soon as possible." " Yes, sir." " I want to talk to him before the rumors start." "But I'm afraid they may not be far from the truth." "This was not an accident." "I'm thinking along the same lines, Mr. President." "The prime minister may not have been happy... about the ambassador's cooperation with us." "There's another possibility, Roger." "I'm not following you, sir." " That we did it." " Correct." "That hardly seems likely, sir." "The ambassador was taking classified information back to his government." "Both of you thought it was a questionable call." "And if we're talking about it here, sir... you can bet there are others back in D.C. Who feel even more strongly." "Set up an independent investigator." "Let's find out exactly who was in the loop." "Yes, sir." "Okay, this is it." "Here we go." "I'll show her this." "I'll let her start talking." "Then I'll get you everything you want." "Even the stuff she doesn't want us to know." "I don't have to remind you, the last time I let you interrogate somebody... you shot him through the heart." "I'm letting you do this, but I hope I'm not making a mistake." "No mistake, George." "All right." "Good luck." "Let's keep this simple." "If you wanna stop the bomb, I need to be on a plane to Visalia now." "Did you pick Visalia for a reason... or would anywhere outside the blast zone work?" " My contact is in Visalia." " Who is it?" "The only person who can tell us where the bomb is." "I'm not gonna tell you who it is till we get there." "Fine." "Then you can sit here and wait for the blast to hit." "Stop wasting time." "I'm sitting here looking at the president's signature." "I'm here." "He's not." "And I'm not gonna make a move until I believe you're credible." "I'll only get the pardon if I stop the bomb." "Why wouldn't I do everything I can?" "Because you're worse than a traitor, Nina." "You don't even have a cause." "You don't believe in anything." "But you would sell anyone and everything out to the highest bidder." "So stop wasting my time!" "Give me a name!" "Don't even bother, Jack." "If you lay a hand on me, you'll be taken off the case." "You're just gonna have to follow my lead." "You are going to tell me everything I wanna know." " Open it!" "Open the door." " Or I swear to God I will hurt you before I kill you." " And no one will stop me." "Do you understand me?" " "Jack, let her go now."" " All right, you're done." "Get outta here." " Why?" " Why?" "Because you've lost it, that's why." " George... right now she thinks she's won the lottery." "She's in control." "You want her to tell the truth?" "You take that away from her." " "By killing her?" "Yeah, that'll work." - "No."" "By giving her someone to answer to, someone to be afraid of." "She has to believe that I'd be willing to put my revenge in front of finding this bomb." " And you're telling me you're not." " It had to look like that." "Look at me." "There's no emotion here." "Now look at her." "Let's say, for the time being, that you made your point." "What would your next move be?" "You need to let me go back in there." "Show her that I have the power to do anything I want to her." "If I let you go back in there, you gotta..." "All I need is five minutes." "Just don't let anyone in that room... and raise the thermostat 10 degrees." "Will you let me have five minutes?" " Yeah." " Thank you." "Latest update we have, Mr. President." "Four cases of marquise glasses." "We need to talk." "I told you to leave." "Well..." "I'm not leaving." "I'm your sister." "And, um, you can stay angry with me... but we need to figure out what we're going to do." "Do about what?" "The wedding." "We may have to cancel." "That would make you happy, wouldn't it?" "Isn't that what you wanted all along?" "No." "Not the marriage, Marie... just... just the wedding." "We can't do it today." "Let me help you take care of it." "You are always pretending you want to help me." "Pretending?" "I dropped out of school when Mom died to take care of you... to keep this family together." "And so you'd have an excuse for not having a relationship." "You could always say, "Dad needs me." "Marie needs me."" "Now that I don't need you anymore, you can't handle it." " I made sacrifices." " Well, then stop!" "Mom died a long time ago, so get your own life and stay out of mine!" "We are not canceling this wedding!" "She's not in Intensive Care." "She's not in the East Wing." "She's gotta be up here." "How much time do we have till this nuke?" " I don't know." " What if Megan doesn't want to come with us?" "I don't know." "That's him." "Mr. Matheson?" "The M.R.I. And the physical exam confirm that the pressure on the brain..." " "is the result of the concussion."" " Meaning?" "That we won't release her, Mr. Matheson... until questions regarding the sources of her injuries are resolved." "Of course." "Uh..." "Listen." "I just want to do what's best for my little girl." "Good." "I'll check in on her at the end of my rounds." " And, Mr. Matheson, no cell phones in the hospital." "They interfere with the equipment." "Of course." "Sorry." "Daddy, are you still mad at me?" "No, sweetie." "Everything's fine." "Daddy's just tired." "You need to get dressed, okay?" " Mr. Matheson's office." " Chelsea, yeah, it's me." "Listen." "You gotta do something for me right away." "Book me two seats on the next flight to Mexico City." " "Mexico City?" "But you have a meeting."" " Yes, I know about the meeting." " I'm asking you to cancel it." " What about your 5:00?" " Yeah, cancel everything." " All right." "Who is the man in Visalia?" "Who is the man in Visalia?" "Mamud Faheen." "The man in Visalia is Mamud Faheen." "That's not news." "We've got his name." "You don't know where he is." "I do." "What's the history of the relationship?" "He introduced me to Wald." "So that Wald could buy the schematics for C. T. U... and blow it up as a diversion for a nuclear strike?" "I didn't know it was part of a larger plan to detonate a nuclear device." "Then why are you so sure Faheen's involved?" "Because, before I was arrested, I heard hints... that Faheen was involved in something in Los Angeles." "Something substantial." "Where is he in Visalia now?" "I'm not going to give you his location until we get there." "If you knew how to get to him, you wouldn't need me... and the deal I made wouldn't do me much good if I'm dead." "Get me Visalia." "We could use a little help on the civil response hearing." "Sir?" "Sherry was right." "An evacuation of military personnel... and resources began about an hour ago." "Which means at this stage, it is well underway." " Do we know where this order came from?" " Yes, we do, sir." "Roger Stanton." "Countermand the evacuation on my authority." "All forces already in the process of moving... are to return to their bases immediately." "Yes, sir." "Roger." "In my office, please." "Janet?" "Hi." "This is Lynne." "I need contacts "for the following bases"..." "Point Mugu, Camp Pendleton." "Roger, I just got word that military resources are being moved out of Los Angeles." " Yes, Mr. President." " On your order." "Yes." "I was implementing the plan." " I assumed you authorized it." " No." "I told Rayburn not to trigger any evacuation." "I should have double-checked everything Rayburn told me before I took any action." "Mr. President, I..." "It's inexcusable." "I take full responsibility." "We'll worry about that later." "I just told Lynne to countermand the evacuation order." "Make sure it happens immediately." "Right away, sir." " Can I help you, Mr. President?" " Yes." " Tell Sherry I'll meet with her in 20 minutes." " "Yes, sir."" "You know how much Daddy loves you, don't you?" "And you know how sorry I am... that my little angel ever got hurt, right?" "Listen, pal." "We're leaving now, okay?" "So if anybody tries to talk to you, you just..." "You don't say a word." "Okay?" "You just pretend like you're asleep." " You can do that." "Right?" " Okay." ""Mr. Matheson."" " There's a call for you." " A call?" "You can take it at the nurse's station." "Why can't I take it in here?" "Because we don't have phones in the rooms unless you order one." "You stay there, okay?" "Megan, don't move." " It looks like she's gonna be fine." "Okay?" " Okay." " Just running a few other tests." " Is it gonna be much longer?" "The phone's right in there." "Let's go take a look, okay?" " This is Gary Matheson." " " Uh, Mr. Matheson?"" " Yeah." "Who is this?" " "This is Trey Williams" in accounts receivable." "It seems that our computers crashed, and we lost a lot of your billing information." "So if we could just go over it again..." "Can we do this another time, please?" "No, we need it now, sir." "If you'd like, I could send someone up to your daughter's room." "No." "What do you need?" " Hi, Kim." " Hi, sweetie." " Listen." "Do you trust me?" " Yes." "I need to get you out of here and I can't explain why." "All I can tell you is I'm doing this because I love you... and because I want you to be safe, okay?" " Okay." " Come on." " The expiration date?" " It expires March 2007." "Okay?" "Great." "Now, if we could just go over your billing address." "You know what?" "I'll come down later." "Mr. Matheson?" "Megan?" "My daughter is not in her room." " Did you try the bathroom?" " Yes, I tried..." " She's not there." " She might have been taken to radiology." "Well, find out where she is." "Yes, of course." "Dr. Shapiro, 2262." "Dr. Shapiro, 2262." "Dr. Pichard, Radiology." "Dr. Pichard, Radiology." " Where are we going, Kim?" " I don't have time to explain." "Trust me." " Just got off the phone." " "That's okay."" "Okay, I've changed my mind." "I don't wanna go." "My daddy's gonna get really mad, and then he's gonna hurt me." " "I don't wanna go."" " We need to get out of here because your dad is hurting you." "Your mom is trying to stop him, but she can't." " I want my mom." " "He's gonna keep hurting you..."" "unless you leave with us right now." "That's the only way anyone is gonna stop him." "Do you understand me?" "The only way." "I called all the departments." "Your daughter is not with any of them." " Then where the hell is she?" " I'm trying to figure that out Mr. Matheson." " Did you see anyone go near her room?" " No, I didn't!" "Call security!" "Get somebody on the door!" "Find me my daughter!" "Megan, I need you to breathe and calm down and stop crying... so we can leave now, okay?" "Come on." "Where is my mom?" "I want my mom." "I know." "Come on with me." "Looking for a nine-year-old girl with blond hair... striped top and bluejeans." "I've got Third Street, west door covered." "In there." "Just got a team on the ground in Visalia, more coming in from Fresno." "Division's loaned us some men, so I'm sending Miller along with you." "I can handle her myself." "That's not what I'm worried about." "George, do you think I'd really sentence millions of people to death... just for the satisfaction of killing her?" "I'll do my job." "And I'm just sending Miller along to make sure of that." "You should go be with your family." "You should get on the plane." " I'll call you when we're in the air." " Yeah, good." " David." " How did you find out about the military evacuation?" "I made some phone calls." "Just following up on a rumor." "I can't tell you any more than that." "You will tell me more, and I will not ask you again." "I am not a member of your staff, David." " I am your wife." " Ex-wife." "And you will tell me because the safety and security of this country... are more important than any of your power plays." "You know, despite everything that's happened, I love you." " Oh, please." " No, I always will." "And whether you want to believe it or not, everything I have done... has been in your best interest." "If you won't give me a second chance at your heart... let me help in the ways you know I can." "And I can't help you, David, unless you give me some idea... of what you're facing." "I was able to find something your own staff couldn't find, David." "I didn't have to warn you." "I came here on my own accord." "Terrorists have planned a strike against Los Angeles." " N.S.A. Thinks it'll be today." " What kind of strike?" " Nuclear." " Oh, my G..." "Oh, my God." "Talk to me, Sherry." "Come on!" "I-I got the information about the military evacuation... from... from someone inside the Defense Department." " Who?" " A high-level staffer." "He's in the loop." "He owed me a favor." "But there's something more important, David." "He also told me that there are members... of your own administration allying against you." "They want control of your presidency." "That's why I came here today." "Who, Sherry?" "People who disagree with your policies... who want to impose their will on the country." "There have been deals made under the table, David." "Backroom promises." "Now I can..." "I can keep digging, find out... if you want my help." "If I accept your help, it won't be about us." "It'll be about doing what's best for the country." "Oh, sweetheart, you can call it anything you want." "I'll get you a secure line and a private place to make your calls." "Then I'll come to you as soon as I find out more." "This had better not be one of your manipulations." "The stakes are too high." " Ma'am." " Dad?" " Hmm?" " Reza's parents are here." "I'm on the phone with your grandmother." "I'll be right there." "Oh, you're here!" "Welcome." "So nice to see you, Kate." " Come on in." " Thank you." " The house looks beautiful." " Oh, thank you." " " Wow." - "Well."" "Well, you must be tired." "Let's go into the living room." "Okay." "So, how is everyone holding up?" " Not too bad." " Uh, where is Reza?" "Um, well, there's a small problem we're dealing with." "What kind of problem?" "Um, some men from the government are here talking to him." "About?" "It's a criminal investigation." "Criminal investigation?" "I don't understand." " Well, it's very complicated." " Kate, what is going on?" "I think it would be best if Reza told you himself." "Told us what?" "They're talking to Reza about his possible involvement... in terrorist activities." "That is absurd!" "This must be a mistake." " That's what they're trying to find out." " You see?" "Your country, you talk about tolerance... you talk about freedom... but you treat every Middle Easterner like he was terrorist." "No." "No, of course not." " I'm sure it'll all get sorted out." " Rima." "Hassan." "Bob." "Do you know about this?" "Well, they just showed up about an hour ago." "I know nothing else." "I'm sorry." "Listen." "Don't worry." "I'm sure it's nothing." "Wait for me in the parking lot." "If it's more than 10 minutes, it means they caught me." "So take off without me." "You can't let them." "We're gonna leave all together." "Okay?" "Miguel." "Thank you." " Can you give me that number?" " Right over there." "Are you okay to walk by yourself?" "Yeah?" "Good girl." "Hey!" "I got a male Hispanic, early 20s... running out of Third Street west with a computer monitor." "Running out of Third Street west with a computer monitor." "Hey, come on!" "Shh." "Go that way!" "Go that way!" "So, Ed, how are you?" "Don't bother, Nina." "I'm here because I have to be." "Not because I'm your friend." "Well, you're here because they think after I help stop the bomb..." "Jack will try to kill me." "Which, of course, he will." "What if you can't stop him?" "I mean, no offense, but, Ed... let's face it, you're no match for Jack." "You're just not that ruthless." "So he manages to get around you and pull the trigger." "What happens then?" "Because of the pardon he knows if he kills me... he'll spend the rest of his life in jail." "Jack, if you have some way to shut her up I'm not thinking of..." "Of course, Jack's mind is thinking..." ""That's not such a bad deal."" "A small price to pay to avenge his wife's death." "But what about his daughter?" "Is he thinking about her?" "She's already lost one parent." "If he kills me, she'll have no one." "Jack knows I'm right." "He should just use me to stop the bomb... and then go home to Kim." "She needs you, Jack." "Mr. President, the latest update." " I didn't transfer that money." " You transferred the money." " "I didn't transfer that money."" " You transferred the money into the account!" " I didn't transfer the money!" " You'd better tell me who did..." " or I'm taking you in." " Why are you doing this?" "Friends of mine... who were doing their best to protect... the citizens of this country were murdered today." "Probably by the same people you're funding." "Is that a good enough reason for you?" "I told you before." "I don't know anything else." "Your parents." "All right, stand up, Reza." "Place your hands behind your head." "It's a shame." "It's gonna break their heart." "I have to walk you right past them." "And they're gonna see who their son really is." "Wait!" "I confirmed the transfers, but I didn't make them." "I was just covering the records." "I didn't want him to get into trouble." "Who?" "Who you covering for?" "Come on." "Who transferred that money into Syed Ali's accounts?" "Bob Warner..." "Marie's father." " What?" "What's the matter?" "Come on." " I don't feel very well." "Come on, Miguel." "Get away from us!" "Give her to me, Kim, or I swear to God, I will make sure you go to prison for 20 years." "I don't care." "I know how she got the concussion." " That was an accident!" " Oh, like Carla's bruises?" " It's okay." " Miguel." "Let's get outta here." "Get his car keys." " "Reza."" " Sweetheart." "Angel." " You okay?" " Yes." "Oh, thank..." "You know I didn't do anything." "Oh, thank God." "We can get married today." "I don't know, sweetheart." "Mr. Warner?" "Could you follow me please, sir?" "What does this have to do with me?" "Just come with me, please, sir." " What did you tell them?" " The truth." " "What do you mean the truth?"" " Please." "My parents are very upset." "Hurry." "Yeah." "Yeah." "Okay." "Team's assembled in Visalia." "We'll have tactical and field units." "We have confirmation that they're in place?" "Probably in the air." "We'll have air traffic, um..." "Air traffic priority?" "Yeah... traffic..." "Jack." "It's all right, Ed." "It's all right." "Just take it easy."
