""Previously on" 24." " Julia." " Mr. President." "David is wondering why I want him to fire Wayne." " Wayne and I became involved." " They had an affair." "I think you'll agree, David." "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." "Then you know me well enough not to be surprised if there are repercussions." "Bauer's with the Salazar brothers in Mexico." "His transponder signal stopped working." "We're doing everything to reestablish contact." "Now tell the Delta units to hold their position till I get back to you." " Kim." "Do you know how to do a frequency scan?" " Yeah." "We're trying to pick up your father's transponder signal." "Michelle's already begun the scan." "Coordinate with her." "I have a message from Jack." "The virus that they're going to buy..." "Jack is going to take it from them." "Jack promised to get me and my family out of here if I help you." "Then help me." "There's been a complication." "Another buyer's interested in the virus." "We'll hold an auction, and the virus will go to the highest bidder." "Your bid is $225 million." "Hers is 240." "Nina, you win." "You're of no use to us anymore." "You failed!" "Ramon, don't do this!" "Five hours ago, you were in an American prison!" "And now you're free because I broke you out!" " We can get the virus!" " How do you get the virus?" "The woman, Nina!" "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!" "The following takes place between 10:00 p.m. And 11:00 p.m." "How many more are coming, huh?" "Are they "americanos" or "federales" or both?" "So where are we on this?" "Jack's last known position is here." "N.S.A. Says they might be able to reposition a satellite..." " but it's gonna take at least two orbits to get it over." " That'll be too late." "Sporadic satellite coverage is probably why... the sellers of the virus chose that place to meet." " It's Hector." " Direct the call through our system before you answer it." "I wanna trace this on all networks." "Remember, you're gonna need an explanation." ""They haven't heard from you in over two hours."" "We're set." " Ortega." " Gael, what's going on?" " I've been trying to reach you." " I was at Division with the bureau chief." "Couldn't talk." " Is there a problem?" " No." "I'm back at C.T.U. Now." "Nobody suspects you are working with us?" "If they did, we wouldn't be having this conversation." "All right, listen." "We have a problem." "This seller double-crossed us." "He brought in a second bidder." " Second bidder?" " Yes." "S-Some woman named Nina Myers." "Amador held an auction." "We lost." " So you don't have the virus?" " "No."" " What do you want me to do?" " Bauer says he knows this woman, Nina." "We're going to try to get it through her." "Hold on." " Gael, it's Jack." " Jack." "I'm gonna give you a number to a cell phone Michael Amador's been using for the last few hours." "Ping it until you get his location." "The number's 011-5255... 3224-0135." "Got it." "Hey." "Are you all right?" "Yeah." "Get back to me on this number as soon as you've got his location." "One more thing." "Bauer's partner showed up." " You have him?" " Yes." "We have him." " " Alive?"" " Yes, for now." "Is he working alone or does he have backup?" "Chase Edmunds is in Field Ops." "I don't have access to their mandate." "You get access, okay?" "What are we paying you for?" "If I try, it might blow my cover." "Best bet is to keep Edmunds alive until we find out." "All right." "Track Amador." "Do you have a location on Jack?" "Here..." "Uh, about four miles from our last contact point." "All right." "Tell the Delta units to adjust their positions and wait for further orders." " Run a passive triangulation on Amador's phone." " " Got it."" "Kim?" "We found your father." "He's undercover with the Salazars." "He's fine." "Thank God." "What about Chase?" "He's been captured." " Captured..." "Is he okay?" " He's alive." "They're holding him." " What do you mean by "holding him"?" " My guess is they're interrogating him." "Once we get the virus, we'll go in for Chase." " Thank you for not keeping this from me." " Sure." "Uh..." "Do you need anything else?" "No." "Just making sure you're okay." "I'm fine." "Thank you." " Did you tell her?" " About Chase?" "Yeah." " But not about Nina?" " No." "She doesn't need to know about that now." "Jack?" "How long will it take to trace Amador's phone?" "If everything goes right, 10 minutes." "I'm going to call our client and tell them there's been a delay." "I'll see if they're getting anywhere with his partner." "Good." "Let's go." " "Hector!"" " Sergio." " What are you doing here?" " My sister says we're going." "She's taking me and my father away from you." "Did she say when this would happen?" "Soon." "But I don't want to leave you, Hector." "I would never let that happen." "Okay, now." "You go back to bed... but don't tell your sister anything about this, okay?" "And I'll make sure everything works out." "Eh?" " You'll talk to her?" " Yes, I'll talk to her." "Okay?" "Go on." " How is Chase?" " Holding on." "I'm gonna go with Ramon to pick up the virus soon." "The second you've got a chance to get out, take it." "Go down and get Chase." "Tell him to call C.T.U." "They'll know how to get in touch with the rescue units." "They'll get you and your family out." " Are you planning on going somewhere?" " What do you mean?" " Don't play games with me, woman." " Don't play games with "me." What are you talking about?" "Sergio tells me he was packing a bag to go away." "What's so funny?" "He was being bad." "Something he picked up from you, I think." "I told him I was taking him away from here." " I was trying to keep him in line." " That's all?" "Just trying to keep him in line?" "He said he wanted a gun like yours." "I said no." "He got nasty, so I scared some sense into him." "He's a good boy." "Don't scare him like that." "Don't encourage him to play with guns." " "Jack."" " Yeah." "Let's go." " Adam says we're back in touch with Jack." " Yeah, we just heard from him." " How close are we to the virus?" " We have the phone number of the seller... a Michael Amador." " We're running a passive triangulation right now." " Then what?" "We pass the location of Amador on to Jack and let Jack call the shots." "All right." "I'll bring Division up to speed." "Ryan, there's one more thing." "We just found out that there's another player in the deal." " Who is it?" " Nina Myers." "I thought we had her restricted to North Africa... after the president gave her exiled immunity." "We did." "Apparently she slipped out." "Jack's trying to get her to help him." "Help him?" "She killed his wife." "That's a hard sell." "I don't know the details." " Does Kim know about it?" " No." "I'd like to keep it that way for now." "All right." "Keep me updated." "I owe you an apology." "You don't." "Look, if you thought I wasn't fit to do my job, then you had a duty to report it." "But you know I'd never risk the effectiveness of this unit just to prove how tough I am." "I know that." "I just felt that people..." "I know what you felt." "You made that perfectly clear." " Yeah?" " " Excuse me, sir." We need Michelle downstairs." "Yeah, all right." "What?" "What do you mean you have to go?" " I have to go." " Sarah, I am in the middle of a crisis." "I can't just leave." " I'm sorry, but I have other responsibilities..." " Where are you now?" " I'm here right now." " Oh, for God's sake." "All right." "Okay." "He's very stubborn, Hector." "Move!" "C.T.U. Doesn't have your travel plans in their records." "Did you come down here by yourself?" "Tell me, and this will all be over." "Did you come down here by yourself?" "Keep at it." "If he doesn't crack soon, use gasoline." "Si, patron." " Are all the agencies up to speed on this?" " Yes." "They're coordinating... with the military to put a net around the virus." " The Mexican government?" " Full cooperation." "They've given us a free hand." ""Mr. President?" "May I please have a word?"" "Thank you, Jerry." " Sir." " Thanks, Jerry." "I just got off the phone with Sullivan." ""He's" pulling his vote." "How many senators have we lost?" "Three." "All proteges of Milliken's." "David, I'm sorry, but unless Milliken calls off his dogs... we're not gonna get health care passed." "He's sabotaging a bill that can benefit millions of people." "What he's doing is showing you that, not only did he have the power... to help start your political career, but he also has the power to put an end to it." "David, you can't afford to lose this debate... and fail at getting the most important legislation of your presidency through." "We'd be handing Keeler this election." " We haven't lost the Senate vote yet." " We will." "Unless you give in to his demands and fire me, we will." "David, you don't have a choice here." "I told you before..." "That's not an option." "Listen, I..." "I know you wanna do the right thing by me." "But I'm the one who made this mistake." "My affair with Milliken's wife was... stupid and wrong..." "Yes, it was." "But what he's trying to do is worse." "For personal revenge, he's willing to kill a piece of legislation... that's good for this country, and we can't let that happen." "There has to be a way to get to him." "Yes?" "I have Senator Hayes for you, sir." " Senator." " Mr. President." "No." "Push them off the stacks." "I'll be back in a minute." " The current files..." " No." "Just what I said." "Learn to follow instructions, Justin." " I have every right to be angry with you." " I'm sorry..." " but it's a family emergency." " Well, there are two family emergencies now, aren't there?" "Hi, baby girl." "And of the two, yours is less important." "Don't you think?" " Not to me it's not." " Your job is in serious jeopardy." "Whatever." "Hector, what did you learn from Edmunds?" "He can take a bullet through the hand without saying anything useful." " Gael?" " Yeah." "We're tracking Amador." "He's seven miles north of Palo Verde, moving west on a rural highway." " Any idea where he's going?" " No." "Just get back to me as soon as he's stopped." "They've located Amador." "He's on a highway seven miles north of Palo Verde, moving west." "Must be Highway 14." "We should get moving." "We can't let him get too far ahead." "Okay, get everyone ready." "No." "You can't ambush Amador unless you're absolutely certain..." " he's got the virus with him." " What are you saying we should do?" "Let him lead us to Nina." "When we're sure they've got the virus, then we go in, but not with an army of men." "You have to let me go in alone." "You are not going anywhere alone." " I'm not letting you out of my sight." "We go together." " Ramon..." "Hector, you're better off here." "And make sure that everyone is ready, just in case." "Jack, give me the phone." "You're driving." "You're still not asleep?" "It's okay, Sergio." "Papa!" " What do they want with that man?" " I don't know, but at least he's still alive." "Get everything ready." "We're leaving." " Ramon's gone." "Hector's resting." "This is our best chance." " No!" "We can't!" " Please, don't argue!" "I need you to help me." " What do you want me to do?" "Do something to the trucks so they can't follow us." "Pull wires, whatever." "Then get Sergio ready and keep him quiet." "Put him in the truck and wait for me." " What are you going to do?" " What I have to." "Now go." "Be careful!" "Emilio." "Do you have a light?" "Sure." "Julia." "It's been a long time." "Hi." "Thanks for meeting me." "I guess you're here because my husband is trying to force the president to fire you." "Yeah, well, there's much more at stake here than just my job, you know." "It's about my brother... being able to run his administration the way that he sees fit." "Now, it's not fair to the people of this country that the president be extorted." " I do love it when you get all noble." " Julia." "What am I supposed to do?" "All this is out of my control." "No, it's not." "It's not, and I think you know that." "Everybody thinks Alan dominates you." "The truth is he needs you." "You know that." " Tell him you'll leave him if he doesn't back off." " He'd never believe me." "Make him believe you." "I miss you." "Do you miss me?" "Oh, what difference would it make?" "It could make a lot of difference." "Oh, Julia, stop it." "We can't." "Do you think of me?" "Don't do this." "It's a simple question." "Do you think about me?" "Yes." "Yes, I think about you." "But it doesn't mean anything." "I think about you, and it does mean something." "I didn't come here for this." "You came here because you wanted something." "I want something too." "I like being Mrs. Alan Milliken." "But that does not have to have anything to do with you and me." "Come back to me." "That's what I want in return." "It worked once." "It can work again." "It never worked." "Not for me." "Then I'm afraid I can't help you." "Talk to me, you bastard!" " No!" " What you don't understand..." "What you don't understand is if you don't talk, Hector will take it out on me!" "Talk to me!" "Eduardo!" "Back off." "Hector thinks he might talk to me." "Tell these men what they want to know... and your suffering will end." "You won't be killed, I swear." "Why should I believe you?" "Because if you don't, they'll burn you alive." "He's a stubborn one, isn't he?" "We can handle him." "Check his pockets!" "He's got a phone!" "There's a gun on the table." "Aaah!" " What are you doing?" " I gotta stop the bleeding, or I could die." " Come on." "We have to go." " You need a gun." " Stay down, Sergio!" "Stay down!" " What's going on?" "Everything's going to be fine!" "Come on!" "Come on!" "Let's go!" "Hurry!" "Hurry!" "Get down!" "Get down!" "Where are you going?" " Hector wants me to pick up something for him." " What?" "It's none of your business." " Papa, what's happening?" " It's okay, Sergio!" "Stay down!" "" Get him!"" "Claudia!" "Thank you." "Thank you." "Chloe." "Are Delta teams in position yet?" "Yes, they're in the area." "As soon as we give the okay, they'll go in to pick up Chase." "All right." "Make sure everyone knows this is subordinate to obtaining the virus." " Yep." "It's in the brief." " And once we have Chase... link in Division, District and someone from the attorney general's office." "A lot of people want answers from him." " What was that?" " Nothing." "Is this your child?" "Yes, and she hasn't been interfering with my work." "Technically, there's no specific rule preventing me from bringing her..." "There's no specific rule because it's common sense." "Now get rid of it." "If I could, I would." "Unfortunately, my babysitter hit me... with some very unprofessional behavior." "I want the baby out of here, Chloe." "Now." "Or find someone else to do your job." "Parents are a protected group, Mr. Chappelle." "This is not fair." "Amador's stopped, about 200 yards up a dirt road... that intersects with Highway 14, about two miles west of Rancho Guadalupe." "Okay." "Good work." "We'll find him." "Gael said Amador stopped about half a mile up the road." " So what do we do?" " Nina's either with him now, or she will be any minute." "We've gotta find a way to isolate her." "Let me see the nightscope." "" One, two..."" "three." " Okay, I'm ready to go in." " I told you..." "I'm not letting you out of my sight." "Ramon, I am trained to do this." "If I go in myself, I "might" succeed." "If we go in together, both of us will get killed." " How long?" " As long as it takes." "You're gonna have to start trusting me." "I want this money as bad as you do." " I'll trust you when we have the virus." " Let me make that happen." "I promise you..." "I can make her work with us." "You can watch me through the nightscope." "As soon as you see... that I've entered the building safely, go back to the main road." "Just in case Amador tries to mobilize his resources outside this perimeter... we've gotta be ready, okay?" "All right." "Go." "All right." "All right." "Soon as it's done." "That's all." "The funds are ready to be transferred." "When do I get the virus?" "I'll call you with the location in half an hour." "You'll transfer 50% of the funds then, as agreed." "I don't like jumping through all these hoops." "The hoops are here to protect us, Nina." "Just wait here for my call." "Let's go!" "Freeze!" "Just take it easy." "Take it easy." "I'm unarmed." "The Salazars... they just wanted me to set up a meeting with your employer." ""Nina!" "Don't move!"" "Drop the gun." "Get back in the church." "Take a seat." "Don't worry." "If I wanted to kill you, you'd be dead by now." "Put the briefcase down." " Tony, it's Chase." "He just called in." " All right." "Source the call." " Chase, where are you?" " The truck we're in broke down." "As far as I can tell, we're about 15 miles east of the Salazars' base camp." "You should be able to lock onto this cell." "We got Delta teams in the area." "We'll send a chopper as soon as we triangulate." " What about Jack?" " He went with Ramon Salazar to find Amador and the virus." " How long ago?" " About half an hour." "Tony, can you tell the chopper I'm bringing two people out with me... and the body of the woman who helped me escape?" " Who was she?" " Claudia." "It's Hector Salazar's girlfriend." "I've got her father and her brother." "Got 'em." "There's a Delta team less than 10 minutes away." " Can you hang tight for 10?" " I don't know." "Just get 'em here." "Just sit tight." "They're on their way." "And can you tell Kim that..." " Tell her I'll call her when I'm on safe ground." " Yeah." "You got it." "Ah..." "Claudia." "Mia Claudia." "So, Jack, if you didn't come here to kill me, why are you here?" " I need to talk to you alone." " Well, that's not gonna happen." "How much is your buyer paying you?" "Two million, once I deliver the virus." "The Salazars are willing to pay you a lot more." " How much more?" " What is this?" " Shut up." " This guy shouldn't be breathing." "I'm handling it." "How much more, Jack?" "At least 10 times more than what you're getting paid right now." "Really?" "That's a pretty great deal." "Except, what happens when my buyer doesn't get his virus?" "You know he's just gonna hunt me down and kill me." "You know with that kind of money you could disappear and never be found." "Yeah, and what about you?" "The Salazars are paying me enough money to do whatever I want for the rest of my life." "I don't believe you, Jack." "I think you're still working for C.T.U." "Well, you're wrong." "Come on, Jack." "You're not the type of guy to sell out." "You'd do anything for your country." "There was a time when that was true." "But what did it ever get me?" "I lost everything!" "When I went undercover with the Salazars, I had to give them my soul." "When I brought Ramon Salazar in, what was waiting for me?" "No one, nothing!" "What about Kim?" "She never forgave me for what happened to her mother." "I want to give her most of the money..." "Help her try and get through everything." "Okay, so, say you are working alone." "I killed your wife." "What's gonna keep you from killing me the first chance you get?" "I don't have a choice." "I broke Ramon Salazar out of an American prison." "I can never go back there again." "This is my one shot at a big score." "After that, I swear to you, I just wanna disappear." "We've wasted enough time, Nina." "You kill him... or I'm calling in." "Fair enough." "Aaah!" "What are you up to, Jack?" "" Let me in."" "Oh, thank you." "Just down here in this conference room." " I went to see Julia." " What?" "Just to see if she would help us with Alan." " And?" " She said no." "Listen, I've been thinking, and, uh... you don't have an alternative here, David." "This is my mess." "I'll take the heat." " Let me resign." " I may ask you to when this is over." "But it won't be because Milliken is forcing my hand." "Wayne." "I've been doing some thinking, too, and there is an alternative." "If Milliken wants to play dirty, we have to lower ourselves to his level." "By doing what?" "Give me a moment." " Hello?" " Sherry?" "David." "David, what... what's wrong?" "I need your help." "All right." "I'm listening." "I'm downtown." "I need to see you tonight." "Tell me more." "I can't say much over the phone." "It's about Alan Milliken." " Fine." " I'll send a car." "You really did break Salazar out of prison." "I'm not the man you knew before." "Well, I don't know about that." "For $20 million, I'm gonna keep an open mind." "So, Jack... if we're gonna go forward with this, I have to know one thing." "Are you gonna be able to forgive me for killing Teri?" "If I wanted revenge, Nina, I would have killed you already." "You know that." "It's like I said..." "All I wanna do is finish this deal and disappear for good." "Convince me."
