""Right now", "terrorists are plotting" to assassinate a presidential candidate." "My wife and daughter have been kidnapped." "And people that I work with may be involved in both." "I'm Federal Agent Jack Bauer." "This is the longest day of my life." "The following takes place between 10:00 a.m. And 11:00 a." "M on the day of the California Presidential Primary." "Secret Service thinks the photographer may have been in on the assassination attempt." "He hasn't been seen since the breakfast." "He was using the name "Martin Belkin."" "Follow up and report back to me in 30 minutes." "I promised Division a threat assessment on Senator Palmer by noon." "Check with Secret Service." "I don't want any overlap." " Still no sign of Jack?" " Nothing." "Cofell here." ""It's Kevin." "Something's come up."" "Meet me at the Nordhoff garage." "That's inconvenient, I'm on my way to the airport." "This can't wait." "Meet me there as soon as possible." "All right." "Mark, I have a change of plans." "I'm meeting someone in the parking garage at the corner of Nordhoff and Willingham." "You hear me?" "Who are you?" "Where's Mark?" "What's going on here?" "Stop the car." "Give me the phone through the divider." "Easy." "Now." "Get up against the door, and sit on your hands." "Who are you?" "What do you want?" "Money?" ""I don't have much with me", but I'm sure I can find some." "Shut up!" "My name is Jack Bauer." "Since midnight my wife and daughter have been missing." "I believe they're being held by a colleague of yours." "A man named Gaines." "Where are they?" "What you are talking about?" "Where's my wife and daughter?" "For God's sakes, I'm just a businessman." "That's right, an ordinary businessman riding around in a bulletproof limousine." " Yes, for protection." " From what?" "People like you." "This is your last chance." "Where is my family?" "I swear to you, I don't know what you're talking about." "You're a very good liar." "But I've seen better." "You stay put." "It's Nina Myers." " "Hey", "it's me." "Can you talk?"" " Let me open a secure line." "Okay, we're clear." "Has Teri called back yet?" "No." "What's Green doing?" "She's making herself at home in your office." " She talk to you yet?" " Yes." "I told her I severed all ties with you." "From now on, I play on the side of the angels." " Did she buy any of it?" " Not a word." "I've got Cofell." "What do you mean "got"?" ""I've got him in the back" of his limousine." " Has he told you anything?" " I'm working on it." "In other words, you've kidnapped him." "He's the only link to Teri and Kim that I've got." ""You don't even know if he's" the right Ted Cofell." ""Every time I talk to you", you go further out on a limb." "From the second they were taken, tell me one thing" "I could have done differently." "I don't know, I guess you're right." "But, Jack, I don't know how much longer I can cover for you." "Nina, please." "Just focus and stay calm, I need you right now." "I don't think Cofell will be easy to break." "I need help." "You want me to put together an interrogation profile in 15 minutes?" "I'll give you about five." "Nina." "If I can't break Cofell, I won't find my family." "Do you understand?" "I'll do what I can." ""Thank you."" "I'm gonna look for a place to lay low." "I'll get back to you as soon as I can." "Your father will find us." "If he doesn't, the people that work for him will." "They don't know where we are." "We don't know where we are." "They were tracing the call, Kim." "Did they find our location before the battery went dead?" "We have to hope that they did." "Sorry about the phone." "Thank you for helping us." "We were hoping..." "I don't want to know anything." ""Trust me", "it's better for you" if I don't know anything." "What do you mean?" "Eli sent me in here to a get information from you guys." "But, can't tell him what I don't know, right?" "Whatever's going on, don't tell me about it." "What's he gonna to do to you?" "Rick?" "What'd they say?" "Nothing, man." "Dude, don't hold out on me." "They don't trust me." "I saw the way that kid looks at you, she must have said something." "Who was the guy I talked to?" "Was it her father?" " They wouldn't say." " You're lying." "Stop it!" "Leave him alone." "I was reviewing the report on the passenger list." "There was an anomaly in first class?" "The manifest had been altered to look like there was an empty seat, but we don't think there was." "Who was actually in the seat?" "The photographer, Martin Belkin." "So the real photographer was killed in the explosion." "And the assassin took his place at the breakfast." "He was enough of a look-alike to fool security." "According to Secret Service, he had a legitimate ID, not a forgery." " How did he get it?" " That, we're still working on." " Myers?" " Hey, it's me." "Hi, Bill, can you hang on a minute?" ""It's Bill Warner", "at the Bureau."" "Shall I call him back?" "No, I need to speak to him." "Let me have the phone." "Alberta?" "I've got something you should probably take a look at." "Tell Bill I'll call him later." "The hitter's connection to Germany may actually lead to the Balkans." "All right." "Our sources say our guy is probably a Macedonian"..."" "Hey, I'm here." " Bad timing?" " No problem." "I could have used a few more minutes." "I wish I had them." "Give me what you've got." "The guy's flight originated in Croatia"..."" "All right, he's the oldest of three children his father died when he was a boy." "That means he learned responsibility early." "In college at 16." "Intelligent." "First in his class." "Vice-president of a company three years later." "So he's ambitious, driven, maybe too much so." "He has a heart condition." "I know, I've got his pills." "He's very organized." "No charities, no"..."" "He's not generous with time or money." "Anal." "I'm guessing he's passive-aggressive." "Control freak." "So make him sweat it out for a little while." "Assume control, and then behave erratically." "Yeah, one more thing." "A hunch really." "People this tightly wound, the threat of pain can be more effective than pain itself." "Okay, I've got it." "This is all just guesswork." "I could have done more with a little time." ""Nina", "you did great."" "I'll get back to you as soon as I can." ""Okay."" "Get up there!" "Now!" "This doesn't have to take long." "It's up to you." "Do you know a man named Penticoff?" "How about Alan York?" "David Palmer?" "Of course." "He's running for president." "The attempt on his life has failed." "The perpetrators will be in custody soon." "You've been implicated." "If you cooperate with me now, I might be able to help you." "I can only repeat, I have no idea what you're talking about." "Your hands are sweating." "Of course, I'm scared." "Who are you meeting on your way to the airport?" "A man named Kevin Carroll." " Who is he?" " He's a businessman, like myself." "He sells machine tools." "Why were you meeting him in a parking garage?" "It was his choice, I don't know why." "I told you everything I know." "Hey, it's me." "Run a background check on a Kevin Carroll." "Allegedly a machine tools salesman." "Probably an alias." "Yeah." "Let me show you something." "You ever hear about the Russian gulag?" "What?" "A string of prisons in Northern Siberia." "Russians didn't have a lot of high-tech equipment up there." "So, they had to make do with what was around." "Sort of like what I'm doing right now." "You probably don't think that I can force this towel down your throat." "Trust me, I can." "All the way." "Except I hold on to this little bit here." "When your stomach starts to digest it" "I pull it out taking your stomach lining with it." "Most people could take about a week to die." "It's very painful." "What kind of man are you?" "I don't want to hurt you but I will do everything I have to do to protect my family." "I want to show you something." "It's in my wallet." "Open it, please." "I know you want to see your family again, and I want to see mine more than anything in the world." ""Mr. Bauer", "believe me", "if I knew something" that would help you" "I would tell you." "Mr. Drazen." " Found Bauer?" " No." "But we're doing everything." "Scanning police frequencies checking hospitals and I'm expecting to hear from my contact in the CTU." "And if Bauer comes here, as you suggested earlier?" "Then, we'll be ready for him." "For an American operation, we thought we needed an American crew perhaps we undervalued our own capabilities." " I'm pulling the plug on you." " You can't tell me..." "You were supposed to frame Bauer for David Palmer's assassination." "But Palmer's still alive." "You don't even know where Bauer is." " No, but I..." " You've failed." "For over a year now, you've been saying how important this is now you're just gonna quit?" "Quit?" "Of course not." "We have a contingency plan." "Bauer and Palmer will both be dead by the end of the day." "You never said anything to me about a contingency plan." "It doesn't involve you." "Just give me a little more time to find Bauer." "Until?" "Till noon." "That's not even two hours." "I'll give you 30 minutes." "If you don't find Bauer by then, I take over." "Your last task will be to kill his wife and daughter, and pull your people out." "I like your education program, but with all due respect" "I do have one or two suggestions." "That's why I'm here." "I'm not one to say that teachers shouldn't be accountable for their performance, but..." "Would you excuse me for just a moment?" "Sure." "Paul." "Hello, David." "Since you fired me from your staff, I assume this is a social call." "I need to talk to you, in person." "Why is that?" "I got a very disturbing call today, a little while ago." "I was told that George Ferragamo's life may be in danger." "Who told you that, Frank Ames?" "You know what an old lady he is, just don't pay any attention to him." "I need to talk to you, now." "It's a pretty busy day for me, David." "I know a few things about you, Carl." "Things you don't want spread around." "Are you threatening me?" "Is that what it's come to after all these years?" "It's come to whatever it takes to get you over here, now." " Where are you?" " Grant Elementary, in the Valley." "I'll be there by 11:00." "Nina Myers." ""Hey", "it's me."" "You got anything on Kevin Carroll yet?" ""Yeah", "I show six Kevin Carrolls."" "One does in fact work for a machine tool company." "It's a cover." "It's gotta be." ""There's another possibility."" "Maybe he's the wrong Ted Cofell." "No, he was implicated in Jamey's file, along with Gaines." ""That file was partially erased."" "We can't rely on its information." "I think you're mistaken." "There's something about this guy, this is not a mistake." ""Jack", "I know you think he's all you've got", but maybe that's affecting your judgment." "Okay, thanks." "We're going to see your friend Kevin Carroll." "It looks like they're getting ready to leave." ""Mom", "what's wrong?"" "It's nothing, honey, I'm all right." "Will you stop saying that, you're not all right." " What did he do to you?" " Nothing." "I've been having this pain in my stomach." "How bad?" "It comes and goes." "I can manage." " I should go tell somebody." " No." " Mom, you need help." " I said no." "Your father is coming, and until then, we have to be strong." "Okay." "Thank you." " How's the food?" " Better than what we used to eat." "You two went to the same elementary school?" "We've known each other all our lives." "And still as much in love as ever." " Thank you so much." " You're welcome." "I am due at another school, but it's been wonderful to meet you and all those great kids." "Thank you." " Would you excuse us a second?" " Of course." "I need to know if you've talked to Carl since I fired him." "Yes, I have." "What did you talk about?" "I asked him if he could find a way to stop Maureen Kingsley from airing the story about Keith." "He said he would." "What did he say exactly?" "As near as I can remember, something about taking care of the evidence against Keith." "And you didn't think that was won'th mentioning to me?" "I wasn't sure what he meant, David." "I'm trying to believe that when you, deceived me seven years ago it was a one-time thing." "This isn't making it any easier." "That is so unfair." "See you later." "I don't know if it's important, but you asked me to check on Jack Bauer, the guy at breakfast." "Yes." "What did you find?" "Typical agency file." "A lot of gaps." "Classified." "Was one of those gaps in the summer about two years ago?" " How'd you know?" " We'll get into that later." "Right now, we've got other things to deal with." "Move up to the other seat." "Now!" "An average businessman, with a Microtech Halo in his car?" "What did you just say?" "Say it again or I'll break your other wrist!" "This is not Cofell." "You speak Serbian?" "Are you from Belgrade?" "You got family there?" "You deserve everything that's happening to you." "What do you know about what's happening to me?" "There's only one thing you need to know, Bauer." "You will pay." "Who are you?" "What's the matter?" "Is it your heart?" "I got your medicine right here." "All I want is a little information." "Where is my wife and daughter?" "Where is my family?" "I'll give you the medicine!" "Tell me where my family is!" "Take the medicine!" "No!" "No!" "Please!" "Where's my family?" "Please, where is my wife and daughter?" "Please!" "Don't die!" ""Hey", "listen to me", "okay?"" "It's not your fault." "There's no way you could have seen that coming." "How am I going to find Teri and Kim?" "The man he's meeting, Kevin Carroll, maybe he knows something." "If he shows up, he's already late." "There's something very wrong about this whole situation." "This is not just about David Palmer." "This is personal, they're coming after me." "What's the connection between you and Palmer?" " Or you and Cofell?" " I don't know!" "This is what I want you to do." "I want you to dig deeper into Cofell's background." "Check out his extended family." "I also want you to access my field assignment files." " They're classified." " I know, find your way in." "I want you to check out an assignment two years ago in Belgrade then Kosovo." "It was called Operation Nightfall." "Crosscheck everything that you find out from that with Cofell's file." ""Do you understand?" Yeah." "Okay, do it now." "Come on, Jack, come on, pull yourself together." "Hey." "What's this?" "Nothing." "Just act like you're interested." "Alberta probably thinks we're already helping Jack." "She can't prove it." "Why don't we just come clean, tell her what's going on?" "Jack says no." "Maybe you should stop thinking about Jack and start thinking about yourself." "It's Jack's family, so it's Jack's call." "After what happened with Jamey we don't know who we can trust." ""All right", "come on."" "Green may be a hard-ass but I don't think she's dirty." "I agree." "But she does things by the book." "If we tell her, she'll call Division." "Before you know it there's gonna be 30 people in the loop." "If just one of them is another Jamey"..."" "Kim, honey." "Wake up." "You can't fall asleep." " Come on." "Hey." " Why?" "Because if Dad comes, we might have to move quickly." "Come on." "When we need to move, I will." " No, Kimberly, come on." " Mom, I'm tired." "I know you're tired." "You've been very brave." "You just have to stay that way a little while longer." "We can't miss our chance." "Are you okay?" "Take it." ""It's Dars", "he left it in the van."" "It's loaded." "It's all I can do." "You know, I'm sorry about getting you into this." "I'm sorry about everything." "What are we supposed to do, shoot our way out?" "They're gonna kill us." "This time they mean it." "God, no." "No." "Kimberly, listen to me, we're alive." "Come here." "We're alive." "As long as we're alive" "I'm not giving up and neither are you." "Right?" "Right." "Sorry I'm late." "I had a couple of calls to make." "Hello, Alan." "Or is it Kevin?" "Where's my wife?" "I want you to check this out." "Wake up." " Where's my wife?" " She's safe." " And my daughter?" " Safe." "Where?" "Don't make this any harder than it has to be." "I was just about to say the same to you." "But I'm the man with the gun." "If you kill me, how are you gonna find your family?" "Who said anything about killing?" "I'm pretty good at withstanding pain." "But if you don't get there soon, it may be too late." "Since you are no longer "any use to us", "Jack..."" "...there's no reason to keep your family alive." ""So", "we need to come to an agreement."" "I'm listening." "You let me go" "I tell you where they are." "As soon as I know they're safe" "I'll let you go." "You got my word on it." "Your word." "That works." "We are talking about my family, do you understand me?" "All I want is to get them back." "So, as soon as I know they are safe, I will let you go." "That is the agreement." "If I say no?" "We'll find out how good you really are at withstanding some pain." "Drive the car." "Your half hour's up." "Kill Bauer's wife and daughter." "Our contingency doesn't involve them." "Eli!" "Tell the drivers to make their final preparations." "Then kill the women." "I'm well aware that too often these days, you have to be surrogate parents as well as teachers." "What can be done about that at the federal level?" "That's a good question." "One that Mike has become an expert on in the last few years haven't you, Mike?" "I've been in charge of preparing our position paper on education and I've reached some conclusions I think you'll find interesting." "Wonderful." "Studies have proven that parental involvement"..."" "What's this about Ferragamo?" "What difference does it make, as long as you're protected?" "What difference does it make, that someone may be murdered?" "I didn't say anything about murder." "You didn't deny it, either." "Okay, I deny it." "Satisfied?" "David." "Power has a price and that price has to be paid." "Always." "Spare me the civics lesson." "I will not permit anyone to be harmed in any way in the name of my candidacy." "You don't permit or not permit anything." "Don't you understand that by now?" "These are very serious people, David." "They didn't put all this time and money behind you to let things fall apart now." "They'll find someone to do what they need done." " I can't believe you used to work for me." " I never worked for you." "You and I have always worked for them." "You maybe." "Not me." "Information." "How can I direct your call?" "Yes." "Give me the number on a Dr. George Ferragamo." "Just put me through immediately, please." "Dad isn't coming, is he?" "I don't know, baby." "I guess your time's up." "Don't worry, I'll make it fast." "Whoever knew he came in to kill us was expecting two shots." "That was the second shot." "What do we do now?" "We hide the body." "Come on." "Turn left here." "Where are we headed?" "Just drive straight." "I'm taking you to your family."
