**Recap:
Previously on 24.**KATE WARNER: Why
are they asking Dad questions?
MARIE WARNER:
‘Cause you started a witch hunt in our family.
KATE: What did you
accuse my father of?
REZA NAIYEER: I
didn’t accuse him of anything.
KATE: You’re
pointing at him to cover for yourself.
TONY ALMEIDA
(PHONE): He says that Bob Warner’s the one who had dealings with Syed Ali.
GEORGE MASON
(PHONE): Bring them both in. We’ll separate them and turn up the heat.
KATE: I need some
help. I have to get into my father’s private records.
JACK BAUER: Who is
the man in Visalia?!
NINA MYERS: The
man in Visalia is Mamud Faheen. He also thinks I’m in prison.
JACK: You better
make him believe you got out.
NINA: I need to
see Mamud.
[Nina steals a
plastic card.]
RICK PHILLIPS:
Jack should we go?
JACK: No! Not
until I have confirmation it’s Faheen.
JACK: Okay that’s
it! Everybody go!
[Shootout.]
LYNNE KRESEGE:
Sir, we have to talk about Ron Wieland.
PRESIDENT DAVID
PALMER: Does anyone know he’s sequestered?
KRESEGE: No, but
pretty soon they’ll figure out the last person they saw him with was you.
PALMER: I have
invoked executive privilege and granted Sheri provisional security clearance.
Seems like every time I turn around somebody advises me to send you away.
SHERI: Why don’t
you…?
PALMER: ‘Cause you
may be able to get information nobody else can.
MIGUEL: Dammit!
Just play cool.
KIM BAUER: Cool?!
We’re in a stolen car!
COP: Step out of
the car please and open the trunk!
MIGUEL: Oh my god!
[Carla’s bloody
body is in the trunk.]
KIM: Carla! Oh my
God he killed her!
COP: Put your
hands behind your head.
---
**The following
takes place between 3PM and 4PM.**
---
COP: So whose car
is it?
KIM BAUER: It’s
her fathers.
COP: Did he give
it to you?
KIM: Not exactly.
COP: Well then
what, exactly?
KIM: We took it
without permission.
COP: You stole
this car?
KIM: I can’t
believe he killed her.
MIGUEL: Look,
officer. Gary Matheson, the man Kim works for, had beaten his wife and was
starting to hurt his daughter. Kim called me to help Megan get away from this
guy.
COP: Well, if
that’s true, why didn’t you go to the police? Why do I find you 20 miles
outside of LA? … That’s what I thought. You have the right to remain silent.
Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law. You have
the right to an attorney; if you can’t afford one, one will be appointed for
you. Do you understand these rights?
---
[Tony, Richards,
Reza, Bob, and Marie arrive in CTU accompanied by guards.]
MARIE WARNER: Uh..
Is it safe in here?
TONY ALMEIDA: Just
stay away from the cordoned areas, you’ll be alright.
BOB WARNER: This
was the building that was bombed this morning.
TONY: Yeah.
MICHELLE DESSLER:
Hey.
TONY: Hey… You got
the rooms ready?
MICHELLE: Yeah.
They’re still a little messed up, but good enough for interrogation.
TONY: How are we
doing here?
MICHELLE: Final tally…
30 dead, 17 wounded. Davidorff and Lindauer are critical.
TONY: What about
Paula?
[Michelle looks
away.]
TONY: Uhm.. Could
you do me a favor and take them back to the rooms?
MICHELLE: Follow
me please.
BOB: Listen… Can I
talk to you alone?
TONY: Stay with
them. I’ll be there in a minute.
GEORGE MASON: Find
anything new?
TONY: No, just
what I told you on the phone. The two men are contradicting each other. There’s
definitely a tie to Syed Ali.
MASON: Looks more
like Ali is at the centre of this. I hope it brings us closer to finding the
nuke.
TONY: Just tell me
how hard I can push him.
MASON: Hard as you
have to. Stick bamboo shoots under their fingernails. Get what they got. Time’s
running out.
TONY: Okay.
---
ROGER STANTON:
Call Henderson at FBI. Set up a conference call with him and the Attorney
General.
[Lynne Kresege
enters.]
STANTON
: Well. She’s his ex-wife. That’s a problem
in itself.---
SHERI PALMER: No.
Sandra, thank you. I’ll get back with you.
[Sheri hangs up
her cell-phone. Palmer enters.]
SHERI: Tell me
about Ron Wieland.
PALMER: What about
him?
SHERI: I just got
off the phone with Sandra Ivany at the network. She said no one’s heard from
him since he met with you this morning. David? You didn’t detain him did you?
PALMER: You are
here today to help me- not question my judgment.
SHERI: And I am
trying to help. What’s going on with Wieland?
PALMER: He was
going to go public with a rumor.
SHERI: About the
bomb?
PALMER: I cannot
afford a panic.
SHERI: Well- You
can’t keep him locked up indefinitely. People are already starting to ask
questions.
PALMER: We’re
holding him at the OC. When the crisis passes, I’ll let him go.
SHERI: Yeah, well-
meanwhile, you’ve got a problem. His disappearance could raise questions you
don’t want to answer.
PALMER: I put
Armus on it.
SHERI: Apparently
it hasn’t helped. The word is getting out.
PALMER: What do
you suggest?
SHERI: Give him an
on-air exclusive when this is over.
PALMER: I offered
that to him. He didn’t want it.
SHERI: Then let me
talk to him. David, one talent you know I have is dealing with the media. And I
know Ron. He likes me.
PALMER: No. You’re
here to gather information.
SHERI: And to
help. And today you can’t afford to ignore that. Let me try talking to Ron.
PALMER: What would
you say to him?
SHERI: Oh I’ll
make it worth his while not to say anything.
---
[Cop leading Megan
Matheson away.]
MEGAN: Kim, I’m
scared!
KIM: It’s okay
Megan. You’re going to be fine. It’s going to be fine. Where are you taking
her? She can’t go back to LA.
COP: Why not?
KIM: It’s not
safe.
[Cop sighs and
walks away.]
MIGUEL: Why didn’t
you tell him?
KIM: My dad said
not to tell anyone.
MIGUEL: Yeah well
he didn’t know you’d be charged with murder. I’m gonna tell him Kim.
KIM: No you can’t.
I’m telling Miguel. My dad said no one can know about this.
MIGUEL: I think
you should tell him who your dad is. Let them call him. Let your dad explain
why we’re trying to get out of town.
COP2: Come on
let’s go. Come on.
[Cop 2 leads
Miguel in handcuffs away. Kim stays in Cop 1’s car. The three is separated in
different vehicles.]
KIM: Listen. My
father works at CTU, the place that got bombed this morning. His name is Jack
Bauer. Please call him. He’ll explain why it’s not safe to be in LA today.
COP: You can call
your father after you’ve been processed alright?
---
[Nina speaks in
Arabic to Mamud Faheen. Michelle in CTU is on radio communication with Jack and
his team in Visalia, Michelle is doing translation work by computer for Jack to
help understand what Nina is saying.]
MICHELLE: Nina. Who
are you working with in LA?
[Nina repeats
phrase in Arabic. Faheen replies in Arabic.]
MICHELLE: Faheen.
I’m not going to give you any information.
[Jack pushes open
curtain that separates the two rooms and enters the room with Faheen and Nina
talking. Faheen speaks in Arabic.]
MICHELLE: Faheen.
It’s too late. Don’t waste your time. The operation will be done.
JACK: This is not
working.
NINA: It will
work. I just need a little more time.
JACK: No, you’re
done.
NINA: Jack! Don’t
do this!
[Jack leads Nina
in cuffs away. Other agent leads Faheen away.]
AGENT: On your
feet.
JACK: We’re going
back.
PHILLIPS: Did he
talk?
JACK: No he
wouldn’t talk to her.
PHILLIPS: What do
we do?
JACK: Call
division, have them set up a white room. We’ll handle it in Los Angeles.
NINA: Jack! Wrong
move. The deeper you bring him in; the more he’ll shut down.
JACK: We’ll see.
NINA: Rick! Give
me more time with him!
JACK: You’ve had
enough time; it’s over. Make sure Faheen gets to the airport.
PHILLIPS: What
about you?
JACK: Right behind
you.
[Jack slams Nina
against the car.]
NINA: You see what
he’s doing?! He doesn’t need me anymore!
PHILLIPS: Jack,
you can’t take her.
NINA: I have a
document signed by the President! He can’t do this!
PHILLIPS: Jack, I
can’t; my orders are to stay with you and her.
JACK: Forget your
orders. All they need is Faheen.
PHILLIPS: Don’t
push this Jack. I can’t leave you alone with her.
[Jack pushes
Phillips away.]
JACK: It’s got
nothing to do with you! Back off!
HARRIS: Step away
from the car, Bauer.
[Harris and
Phillips pulls their gun on Jack. Jack slams door in frustration.]

MAN (PK): Paul
Koplin, Ms. Warner. Nice to meet you.
KATE: Thanks for
coming. Come in.
KOPLIN: No
problem. I spoke to Ralph. He told me what files we’re going to have to get
into.
KATE: Are they the
ones that linked Reza to this terrorist?
KOPLIN: Yes.
That’s Syed Ali. The company computer is networked into this house. I’m going
to have to hack some passwords. I assume you’re authorizing me to do that.
KATE: Yeah. Yeah;
of course.
KOPLIN: That’s it?
KATE: Yeah. I
still don’t understand why they dragged my family in for questioning on my
sister’s wedding day.
[Koplin sits down
at computer; you can see a gun in a leather holster on his belt.]
KOPLIN: I’m a
little surprised about that too, but uhm.. It’s a whole new world out there
now. I’m sorry ‘bout what happened, but as private investigators, we’re
required by law to report any terrorist-related information to Homeland
Security right off.
[Koplin connects
some USB chip to the computer.]
KATE: So here it
is. I was able to access the monthly statements but I couldn’t get into any
detailed records.
KOPLIN: Alright.
Let’s see what we can do.
---
STANTON
: My apologies, Mrs. Palmer. It’s just
we’re very careful about the flow of information today. SHERI: Well,
there’s no need to apologize. I would assume that you’re careful about the flow
of information everyday.
[Armus opens door
to Ron Wieland’s holding room.]
SHERI: Thank you.
[Sheri enters, Ron
Wieland looks mildly surprised at her. Armus stands bored outside the door.]
WIELAND: Sheri
Palmer.
SHERI: Hello, Ron.
WIELAND: Just when
I thought this day couldn’t get any stranger.
[Sheri laughs.]
SHERI: I uh.. I
can imagine you’re not happy about all of this.
WIELAND: I’d like
to know what ‘this’ is.
SHERI: I don’t
exactly know myself.
WIELAND: I don’t
believe you Sheri. But, unless they kill me, I’m gonna have the story of the
year. I’ve been kidnapped by the leader of the free world.
SHERI: Oh no,
that’s not necessarily true Ron. There actually has been precedent for this
kind of executive action.
WIELAND: If you’re
here to shut me up, you’re wasting your time. I sensed I was onto something;
the fact that they locked me in here only confirms it. I’m coming out of here
with a story; deal with it.
SHERI: Hm. Mind if
I sit down?
WIELAND: Course
not.
SHERI: We uh… We’d
like to release you Ron. And we will. But we need assurances you won’t go
public with the rumor you threatening to broadcast.
WEILAND: In return
for what? I get an exclusive with the President on some watered-down story?
SHERI: Not
watered-down story. Something else. You go out there, let everyone know that
you are not missing. Don’t say anything about this morning. The President will
let you inside of the OC to report first-hand. No journalist has ever been
inside before.
WIELAND: Why did
he send you down here to make this offer Sheri? In fact, what are you even
doing back inside David Palmer’s circle?
SHERI: Take the
deal Ron. In a couple of hours they’ll brief you. And then you’ll know more
than I do.

[Man speaks Arabic
into a phone. Hangs up.]
MAN (ARABIC):
Everybody’s ready. They’re just waiting for us to deliver the bomb.
[Three men in the
truck exchanges dialog in Arabic. Suddenly, a loud bang was heard. Camera cuts
to outside the vehicle to see one of the tires blown on the truck. The truck is
out of control, but finally is managed to be stopped by a sidewalk safely. Man
gets out. Opens the back, where they get one of the tools.]
MAN (ARABIC):
Where’s the handle?
MAN2(ARABIC):
There is no handle.
PASSERBY: Hey
guys! You need some help?
[A friendly
neighborhood guy pulls up in a truck.]
MAN: Yeah.
---
[Jack and the
others are on a plane. Nina speaks in Arabic to Faheen. Michelle is still doing
translation work.]
MICHELLE: Nina.
The only way out of this is to cooperate with them.
[Nina continues to
speak in Arabic.]
MICHELLE: Nina.
Mamud, it does your case no good if you end up dead. Think about it Mamud.
We’re on our way to Los Angeles.
[Mamud Faheed
speaks.]
MICHELLE: Faheen.
I’m not afraid to die.
[Nina slumps back
in seat. Faheen rolls his eyes. Camera zooms in to the card Nina stole from the
store back in Visalia. It has a sharp, torn edge. Nina holds it. Jack is busy
at the computer. Nina conceals broken card in her shirt sleeve. She speaks in
Arabic to Faheen.]
MICHELLE: Nina.
How big is the bomb. What time is it supposed to go off. Faheen. You betrayed
me. You betrayed us all. Traitor.
JACK: Bring her
back here now.
[Harris gets out
of seat, leads Nina to Jack.]
JACK: Nina we are
out of time. If you want to live through this, you gotta be straight with me.
Now when was this planned?
NINA: Six months
before I was arrested.
JACK: And Faheen
approached you?
NINA: Yes, but
through an intermediary.
JACK: And he
didn’t tell you about the nuke.
NINA: No, I told
you. I didn’t know what the endgame was. I just knew it was something big.
JACK: Is there
another way around Faheen?
NINA: No.
JACK: Is he really
willing to die?
NINA: Yes. … Jack,
what are we going to do?
JACK: Take her
back.
[Harris leads Nina
back to her seat, but opposite to Faheen this time instead of at a diagonal.
Faheen glares up at Harris. Jack stares in the two prisoner’s direction.]

[The nice passerby
helps the three men who speak Arabic fix their tire.]
PASSERBY: I
wouldn’t drive too long on that spare. There’s not a lot of tread left on it.
MAN: Yes. Thank
you very much, sir.
PASSERBY: Hey, why
don’t you fellows follow me to Ventura Boulevard? There’s a tire store there.
MAN: No, no, no.
We’ll be fine.
PASSERBY: Alright.
You’re all set.
MAN: Oh. Here.
Please.
[The man who
speaks Arabic hands the nice guy a wad of cash.]
PASSERBY: Don’t
worry about it. You know anybody who needs pool service, give ‘em my card. I
work the whole valley. Okay?
MAN: Thank you.
Thank you sir.
PASSERBY: See ya!
[The camera
focuses in on one of the men, and then at a bunch of boys playing basketball on
sidewalk.]

COP2(PHONE): Well
the kid said it was dangerous and to stay out of Los Angeles.
COP (PHONE): Yeah.
This one told me a similar story. Didn’t go into any detail though.
COP2(PHONE): Do
you think it’s true?
COP (PHONE): I
don’t think so.
COP2(PHONE): Then
what then?
COP (PHONE):
They’re just telling stories.
COP2(PHONE): Want
me to call it in?
COP (PHONE):
Listen- we wait until we get back, okay?
COP2(PHONE):
Alright. I’ll see you there.
COP (PHONE): Yeah.
[They hang up. The
cop chuckles.]
COP: That friend of yours got quite an imagination.
KIM: Why? What did
he say?
COP: The reason
that you were leaving town because some kind of bomb’s supposed to go off in LA
today. Is that what you were talking about back then when you said it wasn’t
safe?
KIM: Please. Just
call CTU and try and reach my dad. You need to get Megan, the girl that was
with us. Keep her out of the city.
[Cop looks
concerned.]
COP (RADIO): LA
Dispatch, this is 621. Put me through to Frank Reed over at FBI Local.
WOMAN(RADIO): 621,
I have been unable to reach anyone at the FBI for the last 45 minutes.
COP (RADIO):
Unable to reach them, why?
WOMAN(RADIO): There’s
a lot of traffic on their lines for some reason.
COP (RADIO):
Alright. Keep trying. Give me a call when you get through.
WOMAN(RADIO): Copy
that.
COP: What the hell
is going on…

PALMER: How did it
go with Wieland?
SHERI: He’s not
gonna play ball. He thinks he’s got the upper hand.
PALMER: He knows
we have to let him go eventually. Whether there’s a legal precedent for this or
not, he’s got one hell of a story.
SHERI: Oh I’m so
sorry David, I thought I could charm him.
PALMER: Thanks,
Sheri, that’ll be all.
SHERI: David? Why
are you treating me like this?
PALMER: It’s not
about you Sheri. I just have more important things to deal with right now.
SHERI: You know;
you’ve always been able to forgive. Always given everyone a second chance, but
not- not me. I came here today to tell you that you were right. Right to kick
me off the campaign, right to file the divorce.
PALMER: Where’s
all this coming from?
SHERI: Well… A
place of honesty, of realization. I was too caught up in the power.
PALMER: And you’re
not now?
SHERI: Of course.
You know I love it. But now I am aware of what I can and can’t handle.
PALMER: So what
are you asking for?
SHERI: Let me help
you. If what I bring to you can be useful, then you can consider it the start
of a new confidence.
PALMER: Alright.
But I promise you absolutely nothing in return.
SHERI: Okay.

[Three Arabic men
in the car. The driver sobs and pulls the truck over to the roadside, stops it.
Conversation exchanges in Arabic.]
MAN: I don’t want
to do this. I don’t want to kill anyone.
MAN2: Just do your
job.
MAN: No.
[Man 2 shoots Man
several times in the chest. The third man watches in horror. The two live men
exits car. Man 2 turns out not to be dead and uses his dying breath to shoot
Man two with his own gun. Man 3 checks both pulses, to find them dead. He takes
one of the guns and gets on the truck again.]

KOPLIN: Alright,
there are the transaction records. On the week of the 23rd, Reza
made four withdrawals from the company’s discretionary account.
KATE: $175,000,
$150,000, $50,000, another $50,000… That’s almost a half a million dollars.
KOPLIN: Yeah.
KATE: What did he
do with the money?
KOPLIN: Let’s see.
He wrote a check to Syed Ali for $475,000 in return for ‘consulting services.’
KATE: So what?
Maybe they were doing business?
KOPLIN: Syed Ali’s
only business is bankrolling terrorists.
KATE: What about
my father, what’s his connection to all this?
KOPLIN: Well, Reza
probably convinced CTU that your father authorized these transactions, or maybe
he just did them on his own. I’m speculating.
KATE: My father is
not involved in terrorism. The government made a mistake. We have to find it,
and clear him.
KOPLIN: Alright..
Let’s uhm… Try and get into his personal calendar. Let’s see what he did the
days he wrote those checks. Okay. Here’s your father’s schedule for that week.
Nothing here either.
KATE: Of course
not. My father has nothing to do with any of this. Sorry Paul, I shouldn’t have
called you. This is such a waste of time.
KOPLIN: Wait a
minute.
KATE: What?
KOPLIN: There’s a
file in his personal directory that’s accessed almost daily. It has a resource
tab on it, which means it’s a government file.
KATE: My dad has
government clients.
KOPLIN: Whoa.
KATE: What?
KOPLIN: It’s an
auto-delete program.
KATE: Can’t you do
something?
KOPLIN: Yeah, I’m
trying.
[The screen with
the folder’s disappearing files turns into a notepad page of self-generating
script.]
KOPLIN: This can’t
be right
KATE: What?
KOPLIN: The data
on this volume has a com-sat grid. You see, these are addresses. CSG14877.
That’s an encoded coordinate.
[Koplin points at
the red colored word, CSG14877 on the computer screen.]
KATE: I don’t know
what you’re getting at.
KOPLIN: The only
people who have files like these have government security clearance.
KATE: Why would my
dad have that?
KOPLIN: I don’t
know.

BOB: Why have I
been kept waiting here like this?
TONY: Sit down,
please, Mr. Warner.
BOB: I have some
information.
TONY: Sit down!
[Bob Warner sits
down. Tony presses something on the recorder.]
TONY: What
information do you have?
BOB: I’m not
supposed to talk to anybody about this, but under the circumstances…
[Bob takes out his
wallet and a card, he hands the card to Tony.]
BOB: I am a
consultant for the CIA. There’s the contact code for my liaison. Call Langley, they’ll verify.
[Tony looks at the
card.]
TONY: Why didn’t
you tell me this back at the house?
BOB: Oh come on
Agent Almeida. You know the drill. I’m not supposed to talk to anyone about
this without clearance.
TONY: What’s your
I-3 protocol?
BOB: I was
approached about 5 years ago because of my international investment work. They
asked me if I’d like to help my country, and I said okay.
TONY: What do you
do?
BOB: My
corporation is used as a conduit to pass information back and forth.
TONY: To whom?
BOB: I don’t know.
That is the truth. Now you listen to me Mr. Almeida. I am not an enemy of this
country, I am a patriot. I love my country. I don’t know any Syed Ali, nor why
there is a record of me doing business with him.
TONY: Well, if
that’s true, then you have nothing to worry about do you? But there is a
connection between your company and Syed Ali. And I’m gonna find out what it
is. So in the meantime, sit tight. I’m gonna check this out.
[Tony waves the
card and exits.]
MICHELLE (PHONE):
Kimberly Bauer?
COP (PHONE): Yes,
we need to speak to her father, Jack Bauer.
MICHELLE (PHONE):
Well he’s not here right now. What’s this about?
COP (PHONE): We
have his daughter is in custody. It’s important we speak to him immediately.
MICHELLE: Okay.
Hold on. Laurie, I need you to call downstairs…
TONY: George, Bob
Warner just told me he does deliveries for the CIA.
MASON: CIA? Did
you check that out?
TONY: No. I was
about to call his liaison, but it looks like he’s got a legitimate contact
code.
MASON: If that is
the case, Reza is lying to us.
TONY: I don’t
know; I pushed Reza pretty hard, I think he’s telling the truth.
MASON: Push a
little harder than usual today. So dig in and see what you can find out. Let me
know.
MICHELLE: Mr.
Mason? It’s the sheriff in Newhall. They’re holding Kim Bauer.
MASON: Why?
MICHELLE: She’s
been charged with murder.
MASON: Call Jack.
MASON(PHONE): This
is George Mason. Who am I speaking to?
---
[Jack’s phone
rings.]
JACK(PHONE): Bauer.
MICHELLE(PHONE): Jack, it’s
Michelle.JACK(PHONE): What?
MICHELLE(PHONE):
Listen uh.. I don’t know how to say this… But we’re on the other line with the
sheriff in Newhall. They’re holding your daughter Kim.
JACK(PHONE): For
what?
MICHELLE(PHONE):
She’s being held on some kind of criminal charges.
JACK(PHONE): What
are you talking about?
MICHELLE(PHONE): I
have her on the second line. Should I patch her through?
JACK(PHONE): Yes,
get Mason on this now.
MASON(PHONE): I’m
already on the with the precinct Jack. We’re working on it.
JACK(PHONE):
George, there’s obviously some kind of a mistake. I nee you to straighten it
out and get Kim out of Los Angeles.
MASON(PHONE): I’ll
take care of it.
KIM(PHONE): Daddy?
JACK(PHONE): Kim,
what happened?
KIM(PHONE): I was
leaving the city, like you said. I was with Megan and my boyfriend, Miguel. And
the CHP pulled us over for speeding. They found a body in the trunk. Carla’s
body.
JACK(PHONE):
Carla? The woman you work for?
KIM(PHONE): Yeah.
We took her husband’s car. Gary must’ve done it this morning and put the body
in the trunk. Oh my God daddy, help me.
JACK(PHONE): Just
relax, we’re gonna straighten this out.
KIM(PHONE): He
beat her up. That’s why I needed to take Megan. He was hurting her too.
JACK(PHONE): Kim.
CTU is gonna send someone; they’ll get you out of there now.
KIM(PHONE): I
don’t want them to send someone else, I want you to help me. Can’t you do that?
They think I killed Carla, dad!
[Jack is
distracted by Nina and Faheen’s conversation in Arabic.]
KIM(PHONE): Dad, I
need you here now!
JACK(PHONE):
Sweetheart, hold on a second. Michelle, are you still on the line?
MICHELLE(PHONE):
Yeah.
JACK(PHONE): What
is Faheen saying now?
MICHELLE(PHONE):
Nina told him that the US forces have been sent to his village, that they’re
rounding up his family, his cousins. Faheen didn’t believe her, called her a
liar.
KIM(PHONE): Dad?
JACK(PHONE): Kim,
hold on.
[Nina speaks in
Arabic. Faheen bites his lip.]
MICHELLE(PHONE):
She just told Faheen that she has the power to save them.
KIM(PHONE): Dad?
JACK(PHONE): Kim,
hold on. What are they saying now?
[Nina and Faheen
leans in, they continue talking in Arabic.]
MICHELLE(PHONE):
We’re not picking it up. The audio’s too low.
KIM(PHONE): Dad,
are you there?
JACK(PHONE): Yeah.
George, I need you to help Kim now. If you have to supersede local authority,
do it. Just get her out of Los Angeles.
MASON(PHONE):
Done.
JACK: Nina, what
did he tell you?
[Nina takes the
torn card out of her sleeve.]
NINA: Everything!
[Nina stands up
and slits Faheen’s throat with the torn card.]
JACK(PHONE): No!
She just slit his throat!
KIM(PHONE):
Hello?!
[Jack runs in,
secures Nina. Phillip puts pressure on Faheen’s throat.]
JACK: I got her!
Get him on the floor! Get him on the floor!
PHILLIPS: Can’t
stop this!
KIM(PHONE): Dad?!
JACK: Have you got
him?
PHILLIPS: We’re
loosing him!
JACK: Sonuvabitch!
NINA: Jack!
JACK: Secure her!
NINA: I know where
the bomb is! Take the plane to San Diego. I want a civilian transport to Sao
Paolo. I’ll tell you everything when we’re on the ground.
JACK(PHONE):
George, are you getting any this?
MASON(PHONE): Yeah
I am.
PHILLIPS: He’s
gone.
JACK(PHONE): This
is your call.
MASON(PHONE):
We’re running out of time. I don’t like being dicked around with.
JACK(PHONE): We
can bring her into CTU and try and press her there.
MASON(PHONE): No.
It’ll take too long. Take her to San Diego.
JACK(PHONE): Fine.
[Jack hangs up.]
JACK: Tell the
pilot to go to San Diego.
PHILLIPS: You got
it.
JACK: This is how
it’s going to work. We land; you tell me where the bomb is. We’re gonna hold
you until we get a result, you got that?
NINA: Got it.

MICHELLE: Sir? I
may have found something in the Faheen recordings.
MASON: What’d it
say?
MICHELLE: A name.
Marko Khachami. Listen.
[Michelle plays
the recording. It begins with Faheen speaking in Arabic, and ended the sentence
with the name Marko Khachami.]
MASON: Did you try
cross-referencing?
MICHELLE: Yeah,
he’s connected to Syed Ali.
MASON: Mr.
Naiyeer?
[Mason rolls up
his sleeves and approaches Reza.]
REZA: What?
[Mason grabs Reza
by the neck and pushes him against the wall.]
MASON: Who is
Marko Khachami?!
REZA: I have no
idea!
MASON: Who is he?!
[Marie runs in.
Tony rounds the corner and runs in also.]
TONY: Get off!
MARIE: Somebody
help me.
[Tony grabs Mason
by the waist and separates Reza and Mason. Tony shoves Mason a good distance
away.]
REZA: You’re
crazy!
[Guard restrains
Reza. Tony pushes Mason all the way out of the secluded area, and against a
metal cubicle wall. George Mason coughs.]
REZA: You’re mad!
TONY: Just cool
it! Cool down.
MASON: Let me go.
[Mason coughs.]

KIM: Are we being
released?
COP: No, you’re
being transferred.
KIM: To where?
COP: I don’t know.
Someone from CTU called. Said they were coming to pick you up and take over the
case.
KIM: What about
Megan. You brought her back here right? What’s gonna happen to her?
COP: It’s none of
your business.
KIM: You can’t
take her back to LA.
[Cop looks at
Kim.]
COP: You listen to
me. I checked you out. Your father does work for CTU. Now you tell me, what he
tell you was gonna happen today in LA?
KIM: I can’t say
anything. But you can’t take Megan back.
COP: Just tell me
what’s going on.
KIM: It’s a
nuclear bomb. The reason they didn’t say anything is because they don’t want to
start a panic.
[The cop blinks,
sighs and stands up. He nods.]
COP: Okay.
[The cop looks
around and walks away.]
---
TONY: Were you
able to get anything else off the recording of Faheen?
MICHELLE: It’s 99%
noise.
[Tony looks at
Michelle, concerned.]
TONY: You okay?
MICHELLE: Just
running on empty.
TONY: Then why don’t
you get something to eat?
MICHELLE: No, I’m
fine.
TONY: Your neck’s
bleeding here.
[Tony points at
Michelle’s neck where a patch of red is. He touches her neck, and Michelle reaches
up and touches her neck also.]
MICHELLE: Somebody
else’s blood.
[Michelle looks
away, teary eyed.]
TONY: Look
Michelle, why don’t you take a few minutes, get cleaned up and changed. You’ll
feel better.
[Michelle sniffs.]
TONY: Hey. We’re
gonna survive this day. Alright? Come on, get changed, come on.
[Michelle exits.
Tony looks on after her.]

KRESEGE: Mr.
President? These are the updated guidelines that Stanton sent to local law
enforcement and the FBI.
PALMER: I
understand Sheri ran into Stanton.
KRESEGE: I didn’t
hear that.
PALMER: Has he
said anything to you about her being here?
KRESEGE: I don’t
think he’s very happy about it.
PALMER: Do you
have a problem with her?
KRESEGE: I know
you think she’s useful to you.
PALMER: That’s not
what I asked.
KRESEGE: I
honestly, welcome help wherever we can get it. If you feel she performs a
function here then-
[Mike Novick
enters.]
MIKE: Sir you
better come out here.
PALMER: What is it
Mike?
[Kresege and
President walks out of his office to the general area of OC.]
WIELAND (TV): I’ve
confirmed that there is an imminent threat to national security and public
safety. While I cannot confirm the target or nature of the attack, the threat
may come from Middle Eastern terrorists cells, but it indicates that domestic
terrorists in the US may also be involved.
[Palmer inhales.]
PALMER: How did he
get out?
WIELAND (TV): what
I find troubling about this story is our president knows about this threat and
isn’t saying anything to the public.
PALMER: Who was
controlling that room?
MIKE: Armus.
PALMER: I want to
see him now.
[Mike Novick exits.]
---
KATE: It doesn’t
make sense. If my father really does work for the government- which is almost
impossible for me to believe, wouldn’t he know if Reza did something illegal?
[Kate opens the
door, follows Koplin out.]
KOPLIN: I would
think so, especially if terrorism was involved.
KATE: If he did
know about Reza, what does that mean?
KOPLIN: Well, my
guess is that your father was aware that Reza was involved in some kind of
illegal activity. And he was monitoring him for some reason.
KATE: But that
doesn’t make sense either. My father would not let someone he was investigating
marry Marie. I mean, he got upset if anyone made the slightest critical remark
about Reza. He treated him like a son.
KOPLIN: I know
Agent Almeida at CTU pretty well. I’ll give him a call and see if we could find
out-
[Two men approach
Kate and Koplin from behind as they neared Koplin’s car. The first man punches
Koplin unconscious; the second injects a syringe into Kate’s neck. They huel
both unconscious bodies into the back of a truck.]
MAN: Go, go!

[Men who kidnapped
Kate and Koplin driving away.]
[Palmer watching
Ron Wieland report on television.]
[Bob Warner in a
holding cell.]
[Kim and Miguel
sitting in the police station.]

JACK: The Sunday
before you killed my wife, Teri and I went down to the boardwalk in Venice. Just watching the rollerbladers and the musicians, laughing at the crazy people…
Spending time together. And Teri sees this snow-cone stand. She giggles like a
kid, takes off running, and she wants to get in line, she wants one. I remember
I was watching her, just… I couldn’t help myself. And I looked up at her, and
she was talking with an old lady in line behind her, the two of them were
laughing. I remember thinking to myself, “How the hell does she do that? How
does she strike up a conversation with an absolute stranger?” And they just
started laughing, like they’ve been friends forever. That’s a gift. I remember
thinking, “God I wish I could do that,” but I can’t. That was Teri. My wife.
That’s what you took from this world Nina. That’s what you took from me and my
daughter. I just wanted you to know that.
[Jack leaves his
seat. Suddenly, there’s an explosion. The plane had been shot. One of the
guards were hanging on to the side of the plane, he crashes into the side and
breaks his neck.]
JACK: We got a man
down!
