"Previously on 24." "I'm issuing an executive order,nimposing a curfew on all civilians in the LosnAngeles metropolitan area." "This curfew will beneffective immediately and will be enforcednby the military." "They're talking about thisnlike it's an illegal action." "Don't worry, Mr. President." "I'm in control ofnthe situation." "Hasn't it ever occurred to you that henproposed this whole thing to set you upnfor a fall?" "Hal's only motivation isnwhat's best for the country." "There's going to be a fallout.nAnd you know it." "You're here to shut this place down,naren't you?" " I told you before, the White House...n" " I know what you told me before." "Now tell me the truth." "CTU is being absorbed by Homeland,nwhich means from now on, every operational decisionnneeds to go through me." "There's something from my brothernI need to give you personally." "I should be therenwithin the hour." "You coming here?" "nI know it sounds impulsive, Aaron, but I'd rather seenyou sooner than later." "I'm hoping there's somewherenwe can meet discreetly." "Does she have the schematicsnand the access codes?" "Yes." "Everything we need." "Release the Sentox here...nand 200,000 people die." "The decryption keynis Charlie-Alpha-3-9-Alpha." "It worked.nThis is what you wanted." "Drop the gun!" "I'm with the German FederalnIntelligence Service." "I've been undercovernfor the last six months, gathering intel onnCollette's clientele." "If we don't find Bierko, hundreds of thousands of innocentnpeople will die here today." "Let him go!" "He's given us what we want!" "nput your hands up!" "As for the datanI sold to Bierko, it's something that I received from ancontact from the Department of Defense." " What's his name?" "n" " Her name?" "Audrey Raines." "You were lying to me." "She sold me the information,nmr." "Bauer." "Apparently, she had a price." "Chloe, I need you to donsomething for me right away." "Check out Audrey Raines'snactivities in the last 18 months." " Audrey?" "Why?" "n" " I'll explain later." "I'm particularly interestednin any unusual connection between her and ChristophernHenderson or Walt Cummings." "You think she has somethingnto do with their conspiracy?" "I don't know what to think.nPlease do it quickly." " Audrey.n" " Yes, sir?" "I'm afraid I have tontake you into custody." "What?" "I don't understand.nAm I being arrested?" " Detained.n" " On what grounds?" "Collette Stenger's beennpassing information to Bierko, information he apparently intendsnto use in his next attack." "She claims she got theninformation from someone at DoD, and she named younas the source." "She's lying." "That's impossible." "We already uncovered one mole innthe White House today, Audrey." "I have no choice." "What kind of informationndid Stenger say I gave her?" "I've told you as muchnas I can at this point." "Prep Ms.nRaines for interrogation." "Does Jack know thatnI'm being detained?" "Yes." "He sanctioned it." "It's the truth." "Audrey Raines was my contactnat the Department of Defense." "You met with her face-to-face?" "Yes." "Good, then you'll be able tonrecognize her when you see her." "Of course." "She identified Ms.nRaines from photographs on the way here." "If you were lying to me," "I'm gonna make this the worstnday of your life." "You understand?" "Put her in Holding." "Burke's interrogation methods shouldnonly be used as a last resort." "The situation warrants anmore aggressive approach." "Then do the same thingnto Collette Stenger." "Stenger is protected bynan immunity agreement." "We can't touch her unless theninformation she's provided turns out tonbe false;" "then we can nullifynthe agreement." "So we can torture our own people,nbut we can't touch a criminal?" "I've known AudreynRaines for years." "I trust her implicitly.nSo does everyone else." "Maybe that's the problem." "Bill, we don't haventhe luxury of time." "Intel indicates that an attacknis imminent-- within an hour." "Tens, maybe hundreds of thousandsnof Americans are at risk, and we just got information thatnAudrey Raines knows about it." "Karen, the decision is yours." "But any adverse consequencesnthat result from insufficiently aggressive action taken nownwill come down hard on you." "What is Agent Burke doing here?" "We're talking about authorizingnthe medical interrogation." " On Audrey?" "n" " Yes." "That's ridiculous.nI'll handle the interrogation." "I can't allow that." "Karen, I brought this to you.nI called it in." "You can't pull menoff of this now." "Your emotional involvement with Ms.nRaines is not exactly a secret, Jack." "That has nothingnto do with this." "That's right." "You always put the work first." "You never let yournfeelings get involved." "Is that what happenednwith Nina Myers?" "Nina Myers was a mistake--nI've never denied that-- but she was deep cover fornyears before I even met her." "She fooled a lot of peoplenfor a long time, not just me." "Well, maybe Audrey isnfooling people, too." "You might be right,nKaren, but if I were you," "I would think twice about who you'renwilling to invasively interrogate." "Audrey Raines is the senior advisornto the Secretary of Defense," "James Heller,nwho happens to be her father!" "And if you were wrong,nhe's gonna eat you alive." "At least let Jack talk tonher for ten minutes first." "She deserves that much." "If she's guilty... she doesn't deserve anything." "That's the point.nShe hasn't been proven guilty." "After she's been prepped,nyou can see her for ten minutes." "But at the first sign you'renless than objective, you're out." "Understood." "Thanks, Bill." "I don't believe Audrey isnguilty of anything, Jack." "Neither do I." "The one thing we do know is,nBierko is going to release the Sentox in the city sometimenin the next hour." "If Audrey knows anything that can helpnus find him, she needs to tell us now." "Keep an eye on thentraffic patrol." "Bierko's gonna need to move thosencanisters." "He's gonnanneed transportation." "With the curfew in place,nI might get lucky and pick up a trail." "Yeah." "Hey, break it up!" "Break it up now!" "Gentlemen, I said, break it up!" "Take their uniformsnand weapons." "Now we have a policenescort to the target, the curfew won't be a problem." "Chloe, walk with me." "You were doingnbackground on Audrey?" " Yeah.n" " What have you got?" "You're not going to like it." "I found the connection betweennWalt Cummings and Audrey." "What kind of a connection?" "They dealt with eachnother a few times-- the usual stuff betweennDoD and the White House." "But there is something else." "What?" "Chloe, what?" "They both stayed at a place called the River Hotel in Pikesville,nMaryland, last April." "So?" "So, Pikesville isn't exactly a hot spotnwith top-ranking federal officials." "It wasn't a coincidence thatnthey were there the same night." "Chloe, what arenyou trying to say?" "They didn't just stay in the same hotel,nbut they stayed in the same room." "How could younpossibly know that?" "Because I e-mailed photosnof them to the manager." "He recognized them both." "He showed me phone bills,nroom service receipts." "I can show you anfew if you want." "No." "I'm sorry." "I believe you." "It doesn't mean she wasnpart of their conspiracy, but it doesn't exactlynlook that good either." "Make copies of everything you'vengot and put them in a folder for me." " I will.n" " Thanks." "Excuse me." "My name is Shari Rothenberg." " I work in Section Five downstairs.n" " I know where Section Five is." "Right." "Uh, Mr. Buchanan told me tonreport to Chloe O'Brian." "Is that you?" "You're gonna havento wait a second." "Um, I'm here to replace Edgar." "I understand hendied in the attack." "Yes, he did." "Well, if he was a friend of yours,nI'm sorry." "Thanks." "He worked at Station Six.nIt's right there." "Are you familiar with thenGavilan matrix analyzer?" "Yes, I am." "Use it to make sure ourndatabases are current." "Some of them may have fallen behindnin the past couple of hours." "No problem." " Jack.n" " Sit down." "Sit down." "Have you ever had contactnwith Collette Stenger?" "No." "She says that you provided hernwith information from the DoD." "I know." "Bill told me.nThat's ridiculous." "You know it." "Jack, you're wastingntime that we don't have." "I had to ask CTU so thatnI could interrogate you." "I have a job to do." "If I don't do it, Burke will,nand I promise you, you do not want to see himnwalk through that door." "Fine." "What kind of informationndid she say I gave her?" "She said you provided her with anstructural schematic of Bierko'snnext target." "What kind of structure?" "She didn't know.nShe just delivered the package." "She claims that Ingave her information, yet she can't tell younwhat that information is, and that's enough tonmake me a suspect?" "!" "Damn it, Audrey!" "nYou know what this nerve gas does?" "They are planning another attack.nWe will not ignore any leads." "I have nothing to donwith these terrorists." "How did CollettenStenger get your name?" "I don't know." "My father is the Secretary of Defense.nI'm an easy target." "Maybe she's trying tonuse him or embarrass him." "Is he involved?" "Oh, Jack,nyou know him better than that." "You worked with him." "He would never do anything outsidenthe law, and neither would I." "The two men that we knownare part of the conspiracy are Walt Cummings andnChristopher Henderson." "Have you had anyncontact with these men?" "Christopher Henderson.nI have never heard..." "I'd never heard of himnbefore today and, um..." "Walt Cummings I have metna couple of times, yes." " Where?" "n" " Um, DoD briefings." " That's it?" "n" " Yes." " Are you sure?" "n" " Yes, I'm sure." "Open it." "The River Hotel,nPikesville, last April." "Yeah, I'm sorry." "Um..." "We happened to benthere at the same time." "We may have had andrink or two together." "You weren't havingndrinks with him." "You shared a room with him.nYou slept with him." "Yes." "I was still recovering from losing you,nJack." "He, uh..." "He had just separatednfrom his wife, and" "I slept with him oncenand then I broke it off." " Why'd you break it off?" "n" " Jack, please, it's complicated." "Why did you break it off?" "!" "Because he wasn't you." "Why did you lie to me whennI asked you the first time?" "'Cause I, I was..." "I was afraid that you'd think less ofnme, that you wouldn't be able tonforgive me." "Because you slept with someonenafter you thought I was dead?" "Because I slept with someone whonturned out to be a traitor, Jack." "Is that the only timenyou spent with Cummings?" "Yes." "Did he ever talk to you aboutna terrorist attack, nerve gas?" "No." "He ever mentionnChristopher Henderson?" "No." " Damn it, Audrey!" "n" " Jack, I..." "Jack!" " Tell me the truth!" "n" " I am telling you the t..." "You've already lied to me once." "You tell me what you know, or I promisenyou this will become very unpleasant." "I'm telling you everything." "Do what you have to do." "Damn it, Audrey.nTell me the truth!" "Jack." "I am telling you the truth,nI swear." "This is over!" "nYou understand?" "This is over!" "If you ask me, she broke himnand not the other way around." "Karen." "He didn't push her hard enough,nand you know it." " He's protecting her.n" " She's innocent." "We have to be certain." "I am certain." "Jack is certain." " Well, I'm not.n" " Karen." "Send Burke in." "I have to do this, Bill.nI can't waste any more time, and make sure that Jackndoesn't interfere." "Okay, I'll pass that on." "Shari." "That was the agent at Bierko'snsafe house." "The place is empty." "Forensics is still looking,nbut they don't expect to find much." "Upload that informationnonto the subnets." "Oh." "Right." "I checked your file." "You're not qualifiednfor Level Three work, and that is Level Three." "I'm provisionally qualified.nIt's all in my supplemental file." "Go ahead and checknit if you want." "All right, Shari." "First mistake," "I yank the provisionalnand you're out of here." "What's with him?" "Two years ago we both workednin the San Francisco office." "There was a sexualnharassment thing." "Miles?" "It was subtle at first,nand then it got really bad." "Finally filed a grievance." "What happened?" "He got off with a warning." "These things arenreally hard to prove." "They said we didn't have enoughnevidence to go to trial." "I can't get into any details.nThe file is sealed." "Don't worry.nI don't need details." "But I guess I'd betternnot make any mistakes." "Yeah." "What's going on?" "I'm sorry.nThis is out of my control." "Karen wants to pushnAudrey a little harder." "No, her interrogation is over." "Jack, I'll try to stallnher as long as I can." "Jack, I have orders to take Miss Rainesnto Holding for further interrogation." "I don't care about your orders.nThat's not gonna happen." "Get out of my way." "Get out of my way." "Jack, stop it!" "Jack,ndon't make this any harder than it is." "Bill, do something!" "Bill!" "Bill!" " Hello.n" " Mr. Henderson, it's Brennan." "Is Wayne Palmer dead yet?" " No.n" " Explain." "We rolled his car,nbut he survived and got away." "It was sloppy work.nWe'll make it right." "Well, you damn well better.nYou know what's at stake." "Yes, sir." "This is Wayne Palmer.nAt the tone, leave a message." "Steve, has Wayne Palmer come through ancheckpoint within the last half hour?" "Yeah, he was cleared throughnCheckpoint 6 30 minutes ago." "What, he's not here yet?" "No, he's not,nand I can't reach him on his cell." "If you're worried,nI can send out an alert." "No." "Actually, he kind of wanted tonkeep his visit under the radar." "I think I'm going to go outnthere and take a look myself, in case he had carntrouble or something." "Do me a favor.nKeep this between us, would you?" " Yes, sir.n" " Thanks." "Thanks." "You need to calm down, Jack,nand remember who's in charge." "Audrey Raines is innocent." "She slept with a knownnconspirator and lied about it." "That doesn't concern you?" "She slept with him once and liednabout it because she was embarrassed." "That hardly makes hernpart of this conspiracy." "Why did Collette Stengernname her as the source?" "She must have gotten Audrey'snname from Henderson." "Why would Henderson wantnto implicate Audrey?" "Henderson doesn't wantnto implicate Audrey." "He's coming after me.nHe's trying to make me lose focus." "And he's trying to pull you off target.nAnd he's done it." "These plans must havenbeen made some time ago, when Henderson had every reason tonbelieve you were gonna be killed." "Karen, listen to me.nThis is what I do for a living." "And the first rule of engagement isnthat you have a contingency plan." "And this is his,nand it's working." "You're getting ready toninterrogate Audrey Raines when you should beninterrogating Collette Stenger, because she still hasninformation that we don't have!" "Stenger has immunity." "She's beingnprotected by a federal marshal." "That's your doing, Jack.nYou made that deal!" "I know." "But if I can prove that Collette Stengernis withholding information from us, that act alonennegates her deal." "I'll be able to startnquestioning her again." "She will give me Henderson." "And once I have Henderson,nhe will lead us to the nerve gas, and that's what we'rensupposed to be focused on!" "What are you suggestingnwe do, Jack?" "Let me and Chloe find proof thatnCollette Stenger is lying to us." "If we don't, you lose nothing." "But if we do, we can stop thisnthing from happening, I promise you." "Karen, please." "Excuse me." "These matrix sweepsnare partials only." "Where's the rest of the data?" "I thought matrix datancould be sent unfiltered." "That's not protocol." "I thought it wasnall right in house." "Only if it's authorized." "Who authorized it?" "I did." "She did it under my authority.nI take full responsibility." " I don't believe you.n" " Believe what you want." "That would be sloppy, O'Brian." "You don't work like that." "She told you about my allegednsexual harassment, right?" "Well, she's lying." "Listen..." "No, you listen.nThere are 17 canisters of nerve gas about to be deployednsomewhere in Los Angeles, and we're trying to find them." "If you interrupt our work one more time,nI'll file a complaint with Division." "Then you'll see whatnprotocol's all about." " Thank you.n" " You're welcome." "Chloe, we need to help Audrey.nWe don't have much time." "How?" "We need to find the connection betweennCollette Stenger and Henderson." "We found Collette's namenon Henderson's computer." "It's not enough." "We need proof that they had directncontact, preferably more than once." "You think Henderson gavenCollette Audrey's name?" "I'm sure of it." "I want you to usenoutside agencies, including foreign." " Put it on a priority channel.n" " I'm on it." "We have an important delivery." "There's no delivery scheduled." "I'm gonna need to call this in." "Stay out here andnwatch the perimeter." "Who's in charge?" "I am." "We need access to the control room.nCan you take us there?" "What are you guys doing here?" "Can you take us tonthe control room?" "Yeah." "It's that way." "Good." "Keep cooperating and nonmore of your friends will die." " Do you understand?" "n" " Yes." "Mikhail, take the canisters to thenmain distribution tank." "Quickly!" "This is it." " Sam, what's going on?" "n" " Ah, Sam..." "I'm not an engineer,nbut I know enough, so you'd be wise notnto try to deceive me." "What we're doingnhere is very simple." "We're going to releasena certain substance so that it flowsninto your pipelines." "What kind of substance?" "That's not your concern." "But at the pressure whichncurrently prevails in these pipes, the substance will react chemicallynwith the gas and become inert." "So I need the pressurenreduced by about 50%." "Sam, don't do it." "Do you understand what I want?" "You want PSI cut by half." "Exactly." "And how long will it take?" "Could take an hour." "You don't seem to care very muchnfor your friends, do you, Sam?" "No, no, don't!" "I might be able tondo it in 30 minutes." "You have 15.nBetter get started." "Don't move!" "Drop the gun." "Now!" "Move away from it." "Now get on your knees." "Mr. Palmer." "It's Aaron." "Oh, God." "Aaron, what arenyou doing out here?" "I was looking for you, sir." "So are some other people.nLet's go." "Ms. Raines,nwe know you conspired with Mr. Cummings." "I didn't." "Who else in the WhitenHouse was involved?" " I don't know.n" " You know, Ms. Raines." " I don't have... have any names.n" " You're gonna give me a name..." "I swear I don't know, I..." "We don't have the time, Ms.nRaines. Give me a name!" "I don't..." "I swear.nI don't know." "Chloe, what have you got?" "I found some masked entries innCollette Stenger's cell phone." " The decryption program...n" " Come on, Chloe." "Bottom line:nHenderson placed eight cell phone calls to Collette Stenger withinnthe past three months." " Where's Collette Stenger now?" "n" " Holding Room 3." "Bill, we have a connection betweennHenderson and Collette Stinger." "She received eight calls from himnthat she didn't tell us about." "That voids her agreement.nIt's off." "That's for thenpresident to decide." "Call the president!" "You need a rescinding ordernto question her, Jack." "Get him to back off of Audrey!" "Get me the president." "What's your connection withnChristopher Henderson?" "I have an immunity agreementnsigned by your president." "She's right.nShe can't be questioned." "We have proof that shenwithheld information." "Her deal's been rescinded.nThe order's on its way." "When it gets here,nshe's all yours." "An innocent woman is beingninterrogated because of her." "Look, I'm sorry, sir,nbut you have to go." "We know you lied to us." "We know that you did not get thenschematics from Audrey Raines." "Henderson told you to use her namenin case you got in trouble, right?" "You do not want to try me." "Yes." "He tell you why?" "No." "He's using you." "He wanted you tonget inside my head." "It worked." "Now I'm... upset." "You have three seconds to tell me wherenthe target is, or I will kill you." "Where's the target?" "!" "A natural gasndistribution center." "There are dozens of those in the city.nWhich one?" "I don't know." "I swear." "I don't know." "I don't." "Jack, what's going on?" "Bierko's targeting a natural gasndistribution center, but we don't knownwhich one." "Natural gas?" "He can use it as a deliverynsystem for the Sentox." "He can get it intonpeople's homes." "I need you to get Chloe on it.nWe need to find out which one." "Right." "The rescinding ordernwill be here in 15 minutes." "Good." "Give it to the marshal.nHe'll be looking for this, too." "Please, no more." "I'm begging you.nPlease. Don't do that." "Please..." "Please." "I'm tellingnyou the truth." "You're bringingnthis on yourself." "No!" " Stop it!" "Make him...n" " This can end whenever..." "Let her go!" "nShut it down now!" "Jack!" "You are finished in here.nShe is innocent." "You can confirmnit with Buchanan." "I said you're finished.nGet out!" "Audrey, are you all right?" "nI don't know." "It's over." "I promise you,nit's over for good." "My God, what's happening to me?" "nWhat's happening?" "Henderson set you up...nto get at me, to throw me off his trail." "Come here." "I'm so sorry." "Jack, the only thing thatngot me through this... was knowing thatnyou would come." "I knew you would come." "I'm so sorry." "Bauer." "Jack, it's Bill.nChloe's got some information." "Go." " Jack?" "n" " I'll be right there." "Yep." "Bill, I want you to sendnsomeone over from medical to Interrogation 1 tontend to Audrey Raines." "Okay." "Thanks." "I'll be right back." "Okay." "Our satellite covers only 60%nof the distribution centers." "If our target's not in that grouping,nwe're out of luck." "Can we redirect anynother satellite?" "I'm trying." "Did you identify the distributionncenter that they're gonna hit?" "We're pulling innmore satellites." "Our analysts tell us once thenSentox hits the main tank, it goes right into the pipes,nwhere it becomes impossible to stop." "From there,nit goes straight into people's homes." "How many casualtiesnare we talking about?" "The largest centersnserve 90,000 people." "We could have twicenthat many casualties." "If our intel is correct,nwe have 15 minutes." "Okay, I'll prep a team with Curtis.nWe'll go airborne." "We'll be ready as soonnas you ID a target." "Mr. Buchanan?" "nThere may be a faster way." "I was a chem major at Cal Tech." "Most toxins become inertnunder high pressure." "The PSI would have to be lowerednbefore the nerve gas was introduced." "Chloe, can you monitor the pressurenlevels at the distribution centers?" "Yeah." "I have citywide readingsnof them all." "Hold on." "Wilshire Gas Company." "The PSI has dropped to 75%nin the past ten minutes." "We have to assume that's it.nI'll tell Jack." " Great work, Sherry.n" " Congratulations." "Thanks." "Did you see the way his hand brushednacross my shoulder as he walked by?" "What?" "That was wrong.nHe shouldn't have done that." " What is it?" "n" " Get down!" "Get in the car!" "Chloe, what's the PSI level?" "PSI level is down to 57%." "Another seven is all theynneed to deploy the Sentox." " How long will that take?" "n" " Four, maybe five minutes." "Jack, the PSI level can only benadjusted from the main control room." "It's the large building in the center ofnthe complex two floors down fromnthe roof." "Copy that." "Okay, we'll insert here." "We'll advance to the control room,nlocate and secure the canisters." "We're almost there." "The noise from the plantnshould cover our descent." "We're ready." "Good." "Get back here." "How much longer?" "A few more minutes." "I can't lower the pressure anynfaster without risking a shutdown." "Chloe, it's Jack.nDo you have any heat signatures?" "Yes, but I can only scan fromnthe exterior of the site." "There are two guardsnpatrolling the perimeter." "I've given the pilot an approach vectornto keep you from their line of sight." " Maintain this position!" "n" " Go!" " CTU, the team's away.n" " They're on the roof." "The PSI level is down to 54%." "CTU, we're inside." "Jack, Bierko will be readynto deploy any minute." "Copy that." "Silencers off." "Bierko!" "He's moving!" "Cover me!" "Curtis, the Sentox isnalready in the system." "Who's in charge here?" "!" "Listen to me." "You have Sentox nerve gasnrunning through your pipeline." "Can you shut down the pumps?" "By the time we power down, gas will be in the main tanks,nthen it's out into the city." "Where's the closest pipelinenthat feeds those tanks?" "Just out the door to your left.nIt'll have a red arrow on it." "Give me the C4 and a timer,nthen get these people out of here." "Jack, what are you doing?" "In order to deliver the Sentox,nit had to mix with natural gas." "If we could ignite that gasnbefore it leaves the plant, the Sentox will be incinerated." "Bill, this is the last chancenwe've got to stop this threat." "The Sentox has been innthe system for one minute." "You have 50 secondsnbefore it gets out." "Charge has been set." "Curtis, are you clear?" "Just about." "Keep going." "Jack, are you clear?" "Jack?" "Jack, respond." "Come on, Jack." "Jack, you okay?" "Curtis, I got anvisual on Bierko." "Jack, you won't have timenbefore the main tank explodes." "Right now he's our onlynconnection to Henderson." "Jack!" "Bill, he's going in." "Bierko!" "Jack, that's it.nThe main tanks are going." "Get out!"
