"Previously on 24." "Sir, everything that's happened today from the infected body at Health Services through Ramon Salazar's prison break has been a part of an elaborate sting operation." "Mr. President, a group of scientists from the Ukraine were trying to sell a weaponized virus on the open market and I suggested the Salazars as potential buyers." "Our goal was to remove the virus stock pile from the marketplace." "But all of this hinged on me convincing the Salazars that I had switched sides." "Tell me how the man who betrayed us is now our friend." "Bauer came to me with an opportunity to make more money than we have ever dreamed of." "What's in it for you, Jack?" "$15 million." "I would never have thought that Jack Bauer was for sale." "You said you'd take me away from here." "Do you remember, Jack?" "Yes, I remember." "There was one small thing you forgot to mention." "You are a cop." "But even that wouldn't matter if you'd meant half the things you said to me" "I meant everything I ever said to you." "For the next few hours, all of our resources are dedicated to helping Jack Bauer intercept this virus." "Tony, I spoke to Chase." "He's not coming back to CTU." "He still thinks my father was captured by the Salazars." "And he thinks he's going in to rescue Jack." "Damn it." "If he goes in there, he's going to blow Jack's cover." "We're going to lose this virus." "I know this man." "Bauer's partner!" "What the hell's going on here, Jack?" "Shut up, Chase!" "You should never have followed me down here." " You with them?" " Yes, I'm with them." " Jack." " Shut up, Chase." "You want to get through this, just shut up!" "The transponder in Jack's watch just went dead." "Damn it!" "By the time the assault teams are in position, we'll have no idea where he is." "The following takes place between 9:00 pm and 10 pm." "Ladies And Gentlemen, the President will make a brief statement." "There will be no questions at this time." "My fellow americans, good evening." "A few hours ago," "I had to terminate the presidential debate in order to handle what was at the time a national security threat." "I can't reveal to you at this time for the details surrounding the situation." "Those will be forthcoming in the next few hours." "Let me assure you that the danger that existed a few hours ago has passed." "America is safe, the American people are safe." "I apologize to my opponent, Senator Keeler, and to the millions of you who were expecting to see the two of us engaged in the issues." "The debate will be rescheduled." "I'd like to thank you all for your patience and understanding." " Good night." " Mr. Prident, Mr. President," "There have been rumors that this crisis was manufactured by your administration to protect your friend, Dr. Anne Packard." "How do you respond to that, sir?" "Those allegations were false." "Senator Keeler's charges were unfounded and we have proof." "Proof that comes directly from Anne Packard's ex- husband." "In fact, in the next few days and weeks," "Senator Keeler will have his own explaining to do." "Anne Packard is an individual of the utmost integrity." "She didn't deserve this." "Mr. President!" "Thank you." "Thank you, Ladies and Gentlemen." "That's it." "No more questions." "Thank you." "Bauer's with the Salazar brothers in Mexico." "His transponder signal has stopped working." "We're doing everything we can to reestablish contact." "Tell the Delta units to hold their positions till I get back to you." "Right." "Thanks." "Why don't we try an amplification module?" "I've already cycled through it three times" "It's not a weak signal, there's no signal." "What do we think happened here?" "There's a strong possibility that Jack's cover might have been blown." "There's no indication that his transponder's been found or that his cover's been blown." "It may be either he's in a place where we can't get the signal or the transponder's broken." "Partial damage might have knocked it to another frequency." " Let's run a scan." " I'm doing that now." "I'm only a third of the way through the spectrum, but so far, no luck." "All right, I'll get you some help." "Kim." " Yes, Tony?" " Do you know how to do a frequency scan?" "Yeah." "Okay." "We're trying to pick up your father's transponder signal." "Michelle's already begun the scan." "Coordinate with her." " What's the signature?" " I already told you-- 30 over five." "You didn't tell me." "Look, Kim." "I know it's hard on you-- your father's life being at stake-- but I need you to focus, okay?" "Sorry." "All right, good." "Call me if anything changes." "Why are we stopped?" "Tomas says there is no sign of anyone following us." "Until we know more, we're better off staying here." "Would he have come here on his own without backup?" "Maybe he came by himself to rescue you." "How sad." "Does it bother you, Jack, that your partner's going to die, trying to save you?" "It breaks me up." "Find out if he came down here with others." "Then kill him." "This man Amador should have called by now to set up the meeting." "He's going to call, don't worry." "Just make sure you got your money ready." "The money's ready." "Yeah?" "It's Amador." "We're ready." "Where?" "Put Bauer on the phone." "I only deal with him." "This is Jack." "Hi, Jack." "Five kilometers north of the town, the trail splits off the road into the woods." "Take the two kilometers. 15 minutes." "Got it." "The meeting's north of here in 15 minutes." "Wait." "The phone." "What if he calls back?" "I'll take a message." "Look at you, Jack." "You are a mess." "We got to get you straight or you'll never get through this." "I'm not gonna fix." "Take them." "You'll feel better." "I need to use the bathroom." "They're in the back." "I want you to get some sleep." " I'm not tired." " I'll wake you when it's time to leave." " Where's Hector?" " He's busy." "You'll see him tomorrow morning." "Go to sleep." "I love you." "Claudia, sit down!" "Sit down!" "I need you to listen to me." "Hector and Ramon are trying to buy a virus to use as a weapon." "Millions of people could die." "I've set up this deal so my government can take control of the virus and destroy it." "Do you understand what I'm saying?" "You're still with CTU?" "Yes, I'm still with CTU." "But you broke Ramon out of prison." "That was so I could gain his trust, to make the deal happen." "I cannot allow this virus to get into the wrong hands." "You betrayed us once, now you've come to betray us again?" "No, it's them, not you." "I was a fool to believe any of it." "I'm going to protect you and going to get your family somewhere safe." " All lies." " I wanted to come back for you earlier, but when I heard about this virus, I had to deal with it." "Millions of lives are at stake." "You have to understand that." "But I can get you out now." "You, Sergio and your father." " How?" " American soldiers are not far from here." "They're waiting for my signal, but I can't reach them because my transmitter's been destroyed." "Claudia," "I have nothing to gain from telling you this if it's not the truth." "One word from you and I'm a dead man." "What do you want me to do?" "First, I need a cell phone." "I need to let CTU know where I am." "Then I need you to do whatever you can to help my partner Chase," " to keep him alive." " No, when Hector realizes it," " he's going to kill me." " We'll be gone by then." "Chase can help you get out," "I promise." "But if I can't contact CTU, this is all for nothing." "You've got to get me that phone." "Please." "I'll do what I can." "I have to go." "They're waiting for me." "If you're lying to me again," "I'll kill you myself." "Help Chase." "Jack Bauer broke Ramon out of prison." "Your people are sending forces to bring them back." "When are they coming?" "When?" "and where?" "quiere mas." "He was your partner." "You must be feeling something." "I've got a $15 million payday when this deal goes down." "He's on his own." "Is he as tough as you?" "He still believes in the lie." "What lie?" "That what he's doing has purpose." "Belief is a beautiful thing." "Hello." "Where are you going?" " Please." " Don't ..." "Ramon is waiting, okay?" "Claudia?" "I left my phone inside." "I'll get it." "Let's go." " Chloe." " What?" " Have you heard from Chase?" " No." "Are there alternate frequencies he might use to contact you?" "Yeah, there are, and they're on auto-scan." " He hasn't checked in." " Look, Chloe, I know that you're busy, but maybe we can reach him by satellite." "Satellite?" "Good idea." "I didn't i think of that, Kim." " I'll get right on that." " Don't be sarcastic with me, Chloe." "This is someone I care about." "Get a grip." "I have to update the President in half an hour." "I don't want to tell him we're in the same place we were a half-hour ago, which is nowhere." "I don't want excuses." "Just get me the answer, all right?" "I need to finalize the comm file." "That should have been done already." "Well, I need the format code and you said you were going to download it." "Delta-seven- three-three-golf." "That's the code from the previous file." "Delta-seven-two-three-bravo." " Thank you." " All right." "Did you get it?" "Yeah, I got it." "Eight minutes shot to hell on an invalid code." "Access granted." "That could have been a disaster." "Without those files, we can't track the rescue teams." "Come." "Bad news." "CTU lost track of Jack Bauer." " Is he in trouble?" " We don't know." "Does he have possession of the virus yet?" "We don't know that, either, David." "Come." "Mr. President, I have Alan Milliken on the line for you." "I'll take it." " Alan?" " David?" "You angry with me?" "Of course I'm not angry with you." "Your first time in L.A. in three years and you don't even call." "It's been a bad day, Alan." "I know." "I've been watching the news." "I don't want to add to your burdens, but I'd like to come by and see you." "See me?" "David." "I wouldn't ask if it weren't important." "I know you're busy." "After all, you are the President of the United States." "In large part, thanks to you." "I'll come to you, Alan." "I'll be there in 15 minutes." "Thank you, David." "And one more thing." "As a personal favor to me," "I'm asking you not to bring Wayne." "May I ask why?" "That's something I'd rather explain in person." "All right." " Where are we?" " So far, we're not able to pick up Jack on any of our imagery." "How long we been out of contact?" "His tracking beacon went dead... 27 minutes ago." "Last known location?" "Here." "He can't be much farther out than 30 miles in any one direction." "Unless he was choppered out." "No way." "Air tactical's watching the skies." "Where's Bauer?" "We don't know yet." "That's great." "So, this entire operation, which hinges on Jack being on-site when they deliver the virus, is going down the tubes because we don't know where he is." " How does that happen?" " Look, Ryan, you want to chew us out?" "Do it later." "We're trying to get this back on track." "I will." "You'd better find Bauer and make this thing work, Tony." "Otherwise, the two of you and Jack, assuming he's still alive, are going to take the fall for everything that happened today, from the prison riots to Salazar's escape and every dead body in between." "So, what happens if Jack goes to this meeting without backup?" "The Salazars get the virus." "What happens from there?" "I don't know." "Feeling better?" "I'm fine." "Amador." "Hello, Jack." "So these must be the buyers you're representing." "This is Hector and Ramon Salazar." "There's $100 million in escrow accounts in Geneva and Hong Kong." "We're prepared to give immediate instructions to have the money transferred as soon as we have confirmation that the virus has been delivered." "There's been a complication." "Another buyer's interested in the virus." "What are you talking about?" "We have a deal." " What's going on, Jack?" " I don't know." "Jack had nothing to do with it." "This is a new development." "This just surfaced in the last few hours." "We'll hold an auction and the virus will go to the highest bidder." "Hector!" "Mr. Salazar," "I merely represent the wishes of my client." "May we have a moment?" "Of course." "Hector, this does not need to be a problem." " It's a huge problem." " Think it through." "You have $40 to $50 million at this price tag, and you're still looking at over an $800 million profit." "so you said you can move the virus for a billion dollars." "That was your estimate, right?" " Something like that." " You've come this far." "Don't stop." "Let it play out." "The other buyer's here." "You know her?" "What the hell is he doing here?" "That man is a federal agent." "We know who he is, Nina." " Everything's fine." " No, it's not." "He's setting us up." "You have to kill him." "Kill him!" "The first man who fires gets cut down." "That's a promise." "Why is he here?" "He represents a buyer, Nina, just like you." "No, he doesn't." "Believe me, I know him." "Whatever he's told you, he's lying." "I don't work for CTU anymore, Nina." "I work for myself." " I'm out of here." " Nina, please." "Let her go and honor the original agreement." "Nina!" "I don't think your client's going to be too happy if you walk out and let the virus go to another buyer." "We gotta close this deal." "We have a wide perimeter, lookouts everywhere, and we're monitoring every frequency." "There's no law or military within 25 kilometers." "You know how I work." "This area is completely secure." "If I had the slightest doubt, I wouldn't be here." "I suggest we all take a few minutes to calm ourselves." "Then I'll explain the ground rules, and we'll proceed with the bids." "Agreed?" "Agreed." "Fine." "Good." "David." "Alan, it's good to see you." "Thanks for finding the time to fit me in." "You've always made time for me, Alan, even when there was no obvious reason to do so." "Your potential was always obvious, David." "How are you doing?" "Well, I could use a few new body parts," " but besides that..." " Well, you look well." "I know you're wondering what could be so important that I'd ask you here, so I'll be brief and I'll be blunt." "I want your brother off the team." "I don't understand." "You've always been supportive of Wayne." "I was." "I'm not anymore." "What's this all about, Alan?" "nbsp;" " Yes, sir?" " Tell my wife to come in here." "Right away, sir." "Julia." "Mr. President." "David is wondering why I want him to fire Wayne, and I thought you should explain." "As you know, I've known Wayne for some time." "Three years ago, when he was President of Alan's company, we began to spend quite a bit of time together." "Get to it, Julia." "Wayne and I became involved." "They had an affair, while I was recuperating from the stroke." "That's how your brother thanked me." "Go on." "We saw each other for a year, before you asked him to join your administration." "Then we broke it off." "Hold on." "If you knew about this, why didn't you say something?" "I didn't." "I just found out recently." "Did you know, David?" " Did you keep it from me, too?" " Of course not." "I can hardly even believe it's true." "It's true." " I've told you how sorry I am." " You can go." "I waited for you to come to Los Angeles so I could do this face-to-face." "I gave your brother my company, and he took my wife." "Now I'm taking away his job." "Wayne is my chief of staff, my closest friend." " I trust him." " I don't, and neither should you." "He's dishonest." "I think you would agree, David, that you wouldn't be where you are without my support over the years." "I've never asked you for anything in return, but I'm asking you now." "Fire Wayne." "I'm sorry, Alan, I can't do that." "I'm disappointed but not surprised." "And you know me well enough not to be surprised if there are repercussions." "I hope you're not threatening me." "I don't make threats, David." "I just tell it like it is." "You let me know if you change your mind." "Have them open up the field search to these coordinates-- tell them it's a priority." " Do you want me to ask..." " Sorry, I don't mean to interrupt, but can I see you for a minute?" "Do you have enough to go on?" "I'll let you know if the satellite guys give me any trouble." "What is it?" "It's actually about Tony." "Look..." "I don't know if he's..." "You don't know if he... what?" "I don't know if he's well enough to do his job." "Kim, he was shot a few hours ago." "He's not going to be working at full capacity." "I know, but what if he misses something important?" "I mean, he's running things." "What happened?" "He asked me to finalize the comm files, but he forgot to give me the format codes." "And then just before, he chewed me out for forgetting something he thought he told me-- except he never told me." "He's under a lot of stress-- we all are." "That's my point." "Michelle, you're his wife, but you're also second in command, and if Tony can't do the job, somebody has to tell Chappelle, and I think that someone should be you." "What are you doing?" "Taking a rest." "There's oil under Hector's truck." "It needs to be fixed before Hector gets back." "Now!" "Okay, I'll check it out." "Here, I have a message from Jack." "Can you hear me?" "Things aren't what they seem." "Jack isn't really with Ramon and Hector." "Everything he's done has been to earn their trust." "The virus that they're going to buy, Jack is going to take it from them." "Do you understand?" "There are soldiers from your country not far from here." "They'll come when Jack calls for them." "Claudia?" "Jack promised to get me and my family out of here if I help you." "Then help me." "I can't now-- there are too many men around." "But don't give up." "I'll figure out a way, all right?" "Each party will make one final bid in writing." "I want all this to start in the next ten minutes." "You have to come up with a number." "We are offering a hundred." "She must've made it enough to make this worthwhile." "Say, another 50." " So we go 175?" " More." "If we do this, we do it to win." "At least 200." "Make the calls." "Who is she?" "I told you, she was my partner at CTU." "No." "There's more between you and this woman." "She killed my wife." "Is this going to be a problem, Jack?" "No." "No problem." " Where are we going?" " We'll be together." "We're together now." "Is Hector coming with us?" "Sergio, just be ready to leave." " But what about Hector?" " Sergio, forget about Hector!" "Just do what I'm telling you!" "What are you about to do?" "Jack said if I help his partner, he'll get us out of here, papa." "These people" "Ramon, Hector, Jack Bauer-- you can't trust any of them!" "Jack's not like Ramon and Hector." "Papa, please, this is our chance to get out of here." "Then go." "No." "No, we're all going." "No, I'm not going without you." "What about Landsat alpha three-nine?" "Yeah, that's about it, right." "Thanks." "I just checked all the NSA logs." "There're no satellites going through the area we think Jack's in." "I'll check the flight paths just in case." "Just in case what?" "I just checked it." "There've been other mistakes today, Tony." "Mistakes." "You think I made them?" "Sweetheart, you should still be in the hospital." "If you're not a hundred percent, you should step down." "I'm fine." "And after what you've been through today," " I don't see how you..." " I just said I'm fine, all right." "End of discussion, please." "Tony, I've got something." "NSA's got a satellite we may be able to reposition." "We just have to ask for access." " All right, thanks." " Yeah." "Yes?" "I need to talk to you, Ryan." "Hold on." "I don't think Tony should be here right now." "My understanding is, he's not in any imminent danger." "No, it's not that." "I've had reports he's been forgetful, missing things." " Like what?" " Key information." "Format codes." "Things that are causing delays." "On any other day, I wouldn't be worried about this, but..." "I'm just not sure if he's up to it today." "If I pull him now, that sets us back, too." "No one can replace what he does." "He, Gael and Jack have been working this from the beginning." "Unless you think his mistakes are significant enough..." "I do." "Or else I wouldn't be bringing this to you." "All right." "Just let me wrap up this call and I'll get into it." "Thank you." "I understand that, but you need to make it happen." "I just got back from seeing Alan." "What did he want?" "Oh, I think you know." "Know what, David?" "He wants me to fire you!" "What the hell were you thinking, carrying on an affair with a married woman?" "!" "The wife of my biggest supporter!" "Listen, I am sorry." "But it was a mistake, and I corrected it." "Not in Alan's mind." "For him, this is fresh." "He just found out, and he wants to make you pay." "Look, we both know you can't afford to make an enemy out of Alan." "He wields too much power." "So..." "I'll resign." "You'll leave only I decide it's the right thing to do, not Alan Milliken." "David, Alan is a very dirty fighter, trust me." "Are you sure you want to get down in the gutter with that man?" "Well, you haven't left me much choice, have you?" "You wanted to see me, Ryan?" "Yeah." "What's going on?" "I asked you here because your competency has been brought into question." "By whom?" "By me." "An employee came to me with some concerns, and I..." " An employee?" " Kim Bauer." "And I felt I needed to address them." "With Ryan?" "You didn't come to me first?" " tried to talk to you, Tony, you wouldn't..." " Enough." "The point is, Ryan, is that they're wrong." "I am fit for duty completely." "Alright, when you entered the room, the monitor was on." "Tell me what it showed." "On the left side was a c- tan schematic of the country, indicating an ongoing investigation in Florida," "New York and Montana." "On the right side was an all clear report from the Austin branch." "That's correct." "But it still doesn't ease my mind considering the slips you made." "What slips?" "Michelle?" "You thought you gave Kim the signature on the frequency scans." "You didn't." "Not verbally, no." "I put them on her "inscreen" 15 minutes before I talked to her." "Anything else?" "She said you didn't load the format codes onto the grid in time." "No." "I didn't load the format codes onto her grid." "I put them in the shared volume on time." "Check it." "It's there." "All right, I'm sorry, Tony." "We're done here." "Good." "You've wasted time we don't have." "Are you ready with your bids?" " Yes." " Yes." "Let me see them." "And the banks will verify the presence of these funds?" "Yes, that is correct." "The bank will verify those as well." "Your bid is $225 million." "Hers is 240." "Nina, you win." "You are a dead man." "My people will escort you out." "The transfer will take place in two hours." "You said you were going to deliver the virus, you failed!" "Not now, Hector." "Come on." "I'll be contacting you with the details." "Excellent." " We'll be waiting for your call." " Let's go!" "You can't let Nina Myers just walk away from it." " You got to put a man on her." " Shut up!" "Ramon, listen to me." "Nina gets away now, she'll disappear." "You'll never find her again." "You had your chance, Jack." "All right." "This is good enough." "Ramon, please." "You're making a mistake." " Get out." " I can explain." "I didn't know..." "Get out!" "You're of no use to us anymore." "You failed!" "Hector, don't do this!" "Ramon, think this through." "What about all your buyers around the world that you promised the virus to?" "They're going to know you were double-crossed and that you did nothing about it." "What are you going to say to them?" ""I'm sorry, we'll try and get it right next time?"" "The Salazar name will be a joke." "Come on!" "Five hours ago, you were in an American prison, and now you're free because I broke you out!" "And then I brought you the deal of a lifetime." "What do I have to do to prove to you I'm on your side?" "This deal can still happen." " We can get the virus." " How do you get the virus?" "I told you-  the woman, Nina." " The woman?" "She's the problem." " She outbid us." " I know her." "I trained her." "I can get to her." "You don't even know how to find her!" "I'll find her!" "Please, Ramon, you can't lose here." "If I fail, you get to kill me, fine." "But if I succeed, the deal will go forward, we'll be back on track." "We'll all get paid." "Please." "Hector." "Let's play this out a little longer." "The man has more lives than a cat."
