Logan: I want Bauer arrested.
Mike:
Bauer is heading the field operation.
Logan: Jack
Bauer is not the only man who can do the job! Put
someone else in
charge!
------------------------
Buchanan:
Jack, we got a problem. Secret Service is on their way
over there now to arrest you.
Jack: Bill, we
can’t interrupt this mission. You gotta stall
them.
Buchanan: There’s nothing I can do from
here. You have to get Marwan before Secret Service gets
there.
------------------------
Marwan:
People of America, you wake up today to a different
world.
------------------------
Jack: I
have a visual on Marwan. He is in the building. Dammit,
they know we’re here. Everybody, move on the
building.
Curtis: Our cover’s blown. Everyone,
go, go, go, go, go!
Jack:
Bomb!
------------------------
Moorefield:
President Logan realized this was a mistake. You’re free
to go.
Jack: We had Marwan. Dammit, we had
him!
------------------------
Logan: This
man, Marwan, has a nuclear warhead and I allowed him to
escape.
Mike: Mr. President…
Logan: Stop.
I don’t even know if I deserve to be called
that.
Mike: There’s someone who can advise you
better than I can.
Palmer: I’m not sure what
you’re asking me to do.
Mike: President Logan is
requesting you run the effort to recover the stolen
weapon and be in place to make whatever decisions need
to be
made.
------------------------
Morrison:
Is it compatible?
Sabir: I’ll need to reconfigure
the trigger mechanism.
Marwan: Has the warhead
been reconfigured?
Morrison: Yes. We may have a
potential security breech here.
Marwan:
Who?
Morrison: The technician, Sabir. His
girlfriend’s getting
suspicious.
------------------------
Nabila:
I think Sabir may have become involved with radical
groups.
Chloe: You mean
terrorists?
Nabila: Yes.
Chloe: The woman
with the phone tip, who is suspicious about her
boyfriend panned out. She sent us a schematic of a
microchip that was used exclusively in Legacy nuclear
warheads.
Buchanan: Take a team with you, let’s
get on
this.
------------------------
Nabila:
What was that?
Chloe: He’s gonna ram
us!
------------------------
The following
takes place between 2:00 A.M. and 3:00
A.M.
[David Palmer enters the White House. His
former Secret Service protector, Agent Aaron Pierce,
escorts him to the bunker.]
Pierce: It’s good to
have you back, Mr. President.
Palmer: Thank you,
Aaron.
Pierce: This way, sir.
Palmer:
President Logan’s not working out of the West
Wing?
Pierce: No, sir. Since the strike on Air
Force One he’s been in the bunker.
Palmer: How is
your son?
Pierce: Very well, sir. Thank you for
asking.
Palmer: Still in the
service?
Pierce: Yes. In fact, he just
re-upped.
Palmer: Good for him.
Pierce:
I’m highly proud.
Mike: Mr. President, thank you
for coming.
Palmer: Mike. Is there an update on
President Keeler’s condition?
Mike: No, he’s
still unconscious.
Palmer: Is the long term
prognosis still in place?
Mike:
Yes.
Palmer: How’s President Logan?
Mike:
Looking forward to seeing you.
Palmer: Thank you,
Aaron.
[Palmer enters the room where Logan is
waiting.]
Palmer: President Logan.
Logan:
David. I appreciate you coming here so
quickly.
Palmer: Tell me how I can help
you.
Logan: David, I wasn’t prepared to have all
this thrust upon me so suddenly. What I’m trying to say
is I made mistakes. This crisis could have ended an hour
ago if I hadn’t interfered with the CTU operation that
would’ve… would’ve captured Habib Marwan.
Palmer:
Punishing yourself for a mistake is something we can’t
afford right now.
Logan: What I can’t afford and
what this country can’t afford is another mistake. Every
decision I make affects the lives of millions of
Americans.
Palmer: I understand the pressure
you’re under.
Logan: I know you do. When you were
in office you dealt with this kind of situation more
than once. That’s why I want you here.
Palmer: I
still don’t understand what it is I can do to help
you.
Logan: Sit. The warhead that was stolen is
an S series. That’s one of the most powerful nuclear
weapons in the arsenal. Wherever it’s detonated, it will
wreak unthinkable devastation. Help me find it. I will
give you full authority to act as my proxy whenever you
think it’s necessary.
Palmer: Charles, how do you
want this to work?
Logan: I’ll call Bill Buchanan
at CTU, and I’ll let him know that he’ll be dealing
directly with you.
Palmer: All
right.
Logan: Thank you, David. Mike will fill
you in.
Palmer: We will get through this, Mr.
President.
Logan: Umm… I’ll be in conference room
B, working on the morning statement for the
press.
Mike: I’ll keep you apprised of any
developments, sir.
Logan: Thank you,
Mike.
[Logan leaves the room.]
Mike: Mr.
President, I know you believe my actions during your
term in office amounted to a personal and political
betrayal.
Palmer: It’s not something I believe.
It’s a fact. Get to your point.
Mike: If my
presence here makes it more difficult for you, say the
word and I’ll leave.
Palmer: Mike, you’re wired
into this administration, and I have no doubt that you
had this country’s best interest at heart. So for now
let’s let bygones be bygones and get to
work.
Mike: Thank you, Mr. President. I
appreciate that.
Palmer: I reviewed the briefing
materials on the way here. Have army reserve supplement
the search teams looking for the warhead in Iowa, and
have DOE and DOD coordinating our crisis response in
case it’s detonated.
Mike: Yes,
sir.
Palmer: CTU is heading up the search for
this man who stole the warhead, Habib
Marwan?
Mike: Yes. They’ve recovered a damaged
video tape from Marwan’s last known location. They’re in
the process of restoring it. But Marwan is not CTU’s
only lead on the warhead now.
Palmer: What other
leads do we have?
Mike: A CTU analyst named Chloe
O’Brian secured a hard drive belonging to one of
Marwan’s associates. This hard drive may contain
information that could lead us to the
warhead.
------------------------
[Chloe
and Nabila are being checked by medics outside the
house.]
Chloe: I told you I’m not hurt. I did the
shooting. Now, please leave me alone so I can do
this.
[The medic leaves Chloe and she continues
to tap into the laptop.]
Chloe: OK, the hard
drive is unlocked.
Jack: Chloe, the hard drive
belonged to someone who had no previous experience with
nuclear weapons. He had to get that information from
someone.
Chloe: The E-mails I’m decrypting look
like exactly that: weapon schematics, designs of nuclear
triggers - all from the same person.
Jack:
Who?
Chloe: The E-mail address itself is shielded
under a false domain name.
Jack: What is
it?
Chloe: MEM4XP.
Jack: OK. Chloe, I want
you to forward all the E-mails to us.
Edgar.
Edgar: I’m gonna trace it to find the
point of origin.
Chloe: These E-mails came from a
domestic server. Whoever sent this is in this
country.
Jack: OK, Chloe, thank you. Hold
on.
[Jack picks up the phone to talk to Chloe in
private.]
Jack: Hey. How are you holding
up?
Chloe: I’m not used to the idea that I just
killed someone, if that’s what you’re asking, but I’m
doing my job.
Jack: Fair enough. Get back as soon
as you can, OK?
Chloe: OK.
[Jack hangs
up.]
Edgar: I got a hit. The man who sent the
E-mails’ name is Lee Jong.
Buchanan: Is he in our
database?
Edgar: He’s a Chinese national. A
research scientist who worked on China’s nuclear weapons
program. He was accused of falsifying research data and
fired by their government in 2001.
Buchanan: Is
it possible China’s providing Marwan with support for
this attack?
Jack: No. The Chinese wouldn’t use
someone that could be traced back to them so easily.
He’s selling his services as a freelance
operator.
Curtis: If he’s helping Marwan
reconfigure or redeploy the warhead, most likely we’ll
not find him.
Buchanan: Check with the INS. See
if Lee was out of the country in the last
week.
Edgar: Sure.
[Jack’s cell phone
rings.]
Jack: Excuse me. This is
Bauer.
Doctor Basin: Jack. Doctor Basin. You
wanted me to give you an update on Paul Raines. He’s
still in recovery, but you can see him now just let you
in to a visit for a few minutes.
Jack: Thank you,
Doctor.
[Jack hangs up.]
Jack: Get back to
me if you find anything.
Buchanan: Where can I
find you?
Jack: I’ll be in
Medical.
------------------------
[Audrey
is on the phone trying to get past the FAA restrictions
on air travel in order to get Paul to a spinal
hospital.]
Audrey: Yeah, I
understand.
[Audrey hangs up. She goes inside the
clinic to see Paul.]
Audrey: Hey. Doctor Basin
wants to move you to Emhart’s General Spinal Program,
but the FAA still has a ban on air travel. I am trying
to get you an exemption.
Paul: Well, if anyone
can get an exemption, you can.
[Audrey strokes
Paul’s arm.]
Audrey: Listen, I’ve thought a lot
about this and I wanna go with you to
Massachusetts.
Paul: With me?
Audrey:
Yeah. You need to get better, and you shouldn’t have to
do that alone.
Paul: I can take care of myself. I
don’t need your charity.
Audrey: It’s not about
charity, Paul. It’s what I wanna do.
Paul: What
about Jack? You said you were in love with
him.
Audrey: I know.
[Jack enters the
clinic to check on Paul, and he senses the tension with
Audrey.]
Jack: Sorry. I didn’t mean to interrupt.
I’ll come back later.
Paul: That’s all right.
Come in.
Jack: I thought you’d be at the DOD
briefing.
Audrey: Yeah, it ended
early.
Jack: Oh. I… I just wanted to come down
and see how you’re doing. I’ve been trying to get down
here since you got out of surgery. Listen,
Paul…
Paul: Please, you don’t have to say
anything.
Jack: Yeah, I do. You saved my
life.
Paul: I was at the wrong place at the wrong
time. That’s all.
Jack: You pushed me out of the
way.
Paul: Honestly, I wasn’t even thinking. It
just happened.
[Paul gasps in
pain.]
Audrey: Paul, are you all
right?
[Buchanan knocks on the door for Jack to
come outside.]
Jack: I’ll check back on you
later.
[Jack leaves.]
Paul: Does he know?
That you wanna come with me?
Audrey: Not
yet.
[Buchanan briefs Jack outside.]
Jack:
What is it?
Buchanan: We found Lee
Jong.
Jack: Where is he?
Buchanan: At the
Chinese Consulate.
Jack: Dammit, he must know we
were coming for him. He took refuge.
Buchanan: He
got there about an hour ago. The Consulate’s a solvent
territory. It’s the one place we can’t get to him, but
we’re gonna try. David Palmer for you.
[Buchanan
hands Jack a phone.]
Jack: David
Palmer?
Buchanan: Frankly, President Logan’s been
a little overwhelmed by what’s been happening. He
enlisted Palmer to help us directly.
Jack:
Good.
[Jack takes the call.]
Jack: This is
Bauer.
Mike: Hold for the President.
Sir.
Palmer: Thank you, Mike. It’s nice to talk
to you again, Jack.
Jack: It’s nice to talk to
you too, Mr. President.
Palmer: I assume Bill
told you about Lee Jong.
Jack: Yes,
sir.
Palmer: I’m about to call the Chinese consul
and explain the situation. I’d like it if you personally
took Lee into custody and brought him back to CTU for
interrogation.
Jack: And you think the consul
will be cooperative?
Palmer: He’s a reasonable
man.
Jack: And what if the political approach
doesn’t work?
Palmer: I’ll leave it to you to
make the necessary preparations. Whatever it takes, we
need this man, Lee, in custody.
Jack: I
understand, Mr. President.
Palmer: Thank you,
Jack.
[Jack hangs up.]
Jack: Do you have a
Chinese interpreter?
Buchanan: She’s just
arrived. She’s very good.
Jack: OK. I need her,
Curtis and one of is agents ready to move on the
Consulate
now.
------------------------
[The phone
at Edgar’s workstation rings.]
Edgar: Edgar
Stiles.
Man: We got a partial.
Edgar: OK.
I’m opening a window now. Send it through.
[Edgar
hangs up.]
Edgar: Miss Dessler. Division just
called. The video tape they were trying to restore – I’m
only able to reconstruct part of it. They send it to my
workstation as we speak.
Michelle:
Bill.
[Edgar plays the part of the tape Division
just sent him.]
Marwan: People of America, you
wake up today to a different world. One of your own
nuclear weapons has been used against you. It’ll be days
and weeks before you can measure the damage we’ve
caused, but as you count your dead, remember why this
has happened to you.
Buchanan: “Wake up today to
a different world.”
Michelle: Do we take that
literally? That he’ll set off the warhead before
dawn?
Buchanan: We have to look at the worst case
scenario. What time is sunrise on the east
coast?
Edgar: 7:02. Less than two hours from
now.
Marwan: Unless you renounce your policies of
imperialism and intervention in these activities, this
attack will be followed by another and another after
that.
------------------------
Mike: The
Chinese consul in Los Angeles. A man named Koo
Yin.
[Mike hands Palmer the
phone.]
Palmer: Mr. Koo. This is David
Palmer.
Yin: It’s an honor to speak with you, Mr.
President.
Palmer: I’m calling on behalf of
President Logan. The situation today has forced him to
direct his attention to other equally urgent
matters.
Yin: I understand, and my government
extends its sympathy for these terrible attacks on your
country. We stand ready to help in any way we
can.
Palmer: Thank you. The fact is you can help
us. There’s a man in your consulate by the name of Lee
Jong.
Yin: Yes. He arrived here earlier
tonight.
Palmer: We have evidence connecting him
to the terrorist behind today’s attacks. We need to take
Mr. Lee into custody immediately to question
him.
Yin: Mr. Lee expected suspicion to fall on
him. He says there’s been a mistake – he has no
connection to terrorists.
Palmer: We believe he’s
helping the terrorists to detonate a nuclear device on
our soil. Many lives are at stake, Mr. Koo.
Yin:
President Palmer, I would very much like to help, but
Mr. Lee is a Chinese citizen, and the Consulate is
Chinese territory. I can’t just hand him over to you
without going through channels.
Palmer: Then I
urge you to contact the Premier immediately and explain
the situation. Tell him speed is of the essence. Tell
him cooperation will be regarded as an extraordinary act
of friendship on the part of his nation, and our nation
will respond in kind.
Yin: Mr. President, I’ll do
my best. I’ll get back to you as soon as I
can.
Palmer: Thank you, Mr. Koo.
[Palmer
hangs up.]
Palmer: The consul’s gonna try to make
something happen.
Mike: How long will it
take?
Palmer: I don’t
know.
------------------------
Michelle:
Anything new?
Tony: Yeah. The White House just
authorized adding IO army reserved unites to the ground
search.
Michelle: Have they widened the
perimeter?
Tony: Yeah, they locked down a sixty
mile radius around the area where the warhead was
stolen, but I’m concerned that Marwan’s people might
have managed to sneak it outside of the
perimeter.
Michelle: Well, we closed all major
roads and the air traffic immediately, but there is a
chance he got it through.
Tony: Homeland Security
is faxing over a casualty projections based on that
possibility.
[A fax arrives.]
Michelle:
It’s probably them right now.
Tony: Yeah. I’ll
get it.
[The phone rings. Michelle picks it
up.]
Michelle: CTU.
Jen: I’m calling for
Tony Almeida. Who’s this?
Michelle: This is
Michelle Dessler, a colleague of his. May I ask who’s
calling?
Jen: The woman he happens to be living
with. Is he there?
Michelle: Yeah. Hold on. It’s
for you.
Tony: Who is it?
Michelle: The
woman you’re living with.
Tony: Jen.
Jen:
I’ve been calling everyone we know going crazy looking
for you. Then finally I thought maybe Jack Bauer took
you back there. Do you have any idea how worried I’ve
been?
Tony: Yeah, I’m sorry. I should have called
earlier, but I’ve been very busy.
Jen: Really
busy with Michelle Dessler?
Tony: I’m working,
Jen.
Jen: For CTU?
Tony: On a provisional
basis, yeah.
Jen: I thought you hated that
place.
Tony: Things have changed a
little.
Jen: Yeah. I guess they
have.
Tony: Look, Jen, we can talk about this
later. Right now I… I gotta go, all right?
Jen:
Tony, what’s your ex-wife doing there?
Tony: Jen,
I’m sorry, but I gotta go.
[Tony hangs
up.]
Tony: Michelle, umm… I’m sorry you had to
find out like that.
Michelle: It’s really none of
my business.
Tony: Yeah, it is. I should have
told you I was living with somebody
else.
Michelle: I don’t wanna talk about this
right now.
Tony: Yeah, well, I do. Listen to me.
When you left, everything fell apart. Jen happened to be
there for me.
Michelle: You don’t have to make
excuses for your relationship.
Tony: I’m not
making excuses. I’m just telling you how it
is.
Michelle: Do you love her?
Tony:
No.
Edgar: Miss Dessler, the new protocols from
DOD just came in. Shall I send them to your
screen?
Michelle: Send them to station 16. Thank
you,
Edgar.
------------------------
[Chloe
returns to CTU and Edgar approaches her.]
Edgar:
Are you OK?
Chloe: I’m fine.
Edgar: Is
there anything I can do?
Chloe: I said I’m fine.
I’m trying not to think about what happened. I’m gonna
process it later, OK?
Edgar: Sure,
fine.
Chloe: Edgar. I appreciate your concern. I
really do. It’s just that when I shot that guy, I
thought I’d go all fiddle position, but the truth is I
didn’t feel anything. At all. I hope I’m not some kind
of a psychopath.
Edgar: Well, he was trying to
kill you.
Chloe: Yeah, but still…
Edgar:
Maybe it’s a delayed reaction kind of thing. Maybe
you’ll freak out about it in a few days.
Chloe: I
hope so.
------------------------
[Palmer
is talking to two aides.]
Palmer: Let me know if
anything…
[Mike enters the room holding a
phone.]
Mike: Sir.
Palmer: No matter how
trivial…
Mike: Sir. Bill Buchanan.
[Mike
hands Palmer the phone.]
Palmer: Thank
you.
[The two aides leave the
room.]
Palmer: Yes, Bill?
Buchanan: Mr.
President, we’ve just seen a tape recorded by Habib
Marwan. On it he says we’ll be, quote: “waking up to a
different world”. We can’t be sure what that means, but
it may indicate that the warhead will be detonated
before dawn on the east coast.
Palmer: Thank you,
Bill.
[Palmer hangs up.]
Palmer: CTU
thinks that the warhead may be detonated before dawn.
Get me Mr. Koo.
[Mike calls the
consul.]
Yin: This is Koo Yin.
Mike:
Please hold for President Palmer, sir. I have the
consul, sir.
[Mike hands Palmer the
phone.]
Palmer: Mr. Koo.
Yin: President
Palmer, I didn’t expect to hear from you quite so
soon.
Palmer: Has the Premier been made aware of
the situation?
Yin: Yes, Mr. President. He’s
considering it very carefully.
Palmer: There’s no
time for that. I’ve just learned that the terrorists may
detonate a nuclear device within the next two
hours.
Yin: Mr. Palmer, we understand the urgency
of the situation, and without making any promises, I
have every expectation of giving you a favorable
answer.
Palmer: When?
Yin: I know I’ll be
speaking with him again in two to three
hours.
Palmer: I told you that is not soon
enough.
Yin: I’m sorry, Mr. President, it’s the
best I can do.
Palmer: Thank you, Mr. Koo, for
your efforts. Please keep me informed.
Yin: Of
course, Mr. President.
[Palmer hangs
up.]
Palmer: He thinks Mr. Lee will be handed
over to us, but not before two or three hours. Now, from
their point of view, that’s moving very fast for
something like this. From ours, not nearly fast
enough.
Mike: What do we
do?
------------------------
[Jack and his
team are staked outside the Chinese Consulate building.
Jack’s cell phone rings.]
Jack: This is
Bauer.
Palmer: Jack, are you at the Consulate
yet?
Jack: Yes, sir. We’ve taken our position
across the street. They agreed to release
Lee?
Palmer: Not quickly enough, and I just
learned that the nuclear device may be set off at any
moment. Jack, is there any doubt in your mind that Lee
is working with Marwan?
Jack: No, sir. The
E-mails he sent left no room for doubt.
Palmer:
Then we have to get Lee out now and find out what he
knows.
Jack: Yes, sir.
Palmer: No one
connected with the government can admit to knowing
anything about this. Ever. If you’re caught, you’ll be
tried at a Chinese court under Chinese law.
Jack:
I understand.
Palmer: Jack, if it was anyone
else, I’d ask if you were sure about this. With you, I
already know the answer. God bless you. Good
luck.
Jack: Thank you, Mr.
President.
[Jack hangs up.]
Jack: We’re
on. We’re going in to get him.
Curtis: All
right.
[Jack calls Tony.]
Tony:
Almeida.
Jack: Tony, this is Jack. I’m at the
Consulate. I need you to get me real time infrared
satellite coverage.
Tony: I’m on it. What’s going
on, Jack?
Jack: The consul’s not gonna release
Lee in time. We have to go in and get him.
Tony:
Who knows about this?
Jack: we have authorization
from the White House. Tony, this is covert operation.
You’re the only person at CTU who can know. I need you
to spoof the satellite logs and make sure that the
mainframes aren’t monitoring your station. Tony, there
can’t be any record that this ever took place, do you
understand?
Tony: Yeah.
Jack: OK,
thanks.
[Jack hangs up.]
Jack: Let’s suit
up.
------------------------
[Using
infrared, Tony sees the bodily activity in the Consulate
building and passes this on to Jack.]
Jack: Tony,
it’s Jack. I’m on com.
Tony: All right, Jack. I’m
uploading a picture of Lee to you right now. Also, I
just got a hold of the building schematic.
Jack:
Can you overlay the infrared?
Tony: Coming now.
Looks like the bulk of the people are on the first floor
residential area, most of them not moving, probably
asleep.
Jack: Try the second floor
offices.
Tony: Grabbing data on the second floor.
All right, we got people moving.
Jack: OK. By the
way they’re gathering around that third room, that’s
probably where Lee is.
Tony: Yeah, I think you’re
right.
Jack: I’ll get back to you as soon as I’m
moving.
Curtis: How do you wanna
deploy?
Jack: I want Melissa Rabb to stay in the
van until I need her to translate. You both can cover
the perimeter. I’m going in alone.
Curtis:
Jack.
Jack: My orders are to make this mission
completely deniable. If I get caught, I have to be able
to say I was acting alone.
Curtis: All right.
What do you want us to do?
Jack: Just cover the
perimeter. You both can reengage as soon as I leave the
Consulate. But I don’t wanna nock over bases, masks on,
non-lethal force, you understand?
Curtis: We’ll
be here.
Jack: Tony, I’m going in. Any change on
infrared?
Tony: Negative. We’ll continue
monitoring in real time.
[Wearing a mask, Jack
enters the Consulate building as Tony guides him to the
guards’ locations.]
Jack: The alarm system’s a
Cambria model 3. I’m doing relays on the door
now.
Tony: Roger that.
[Jack manages to
get the door open. He enters the building.]
Tony:
All right, Jack, stop. We have somebody approaching from
your west side. I repeat, your west side. OK. He’s
moving away.
Jack: Give me the status on the
other four guards.
Tony: Jack, you’re right on
top of them. We have someone approaching from your north
side. OK, you’re clear.
[Jack climbs up to an
inside balcony and shoots a tranquilizer gun into the
neck of a Chinese guard, who drops to the floor. Jack
silently takes down guards who man the room where Lee
is. Jack knocks out Lee and carries him.]
Jack: I
got him.
Tony: Roger that. People moving towards
you on both floors.
Jack: Exiting the Consulate,
hostiles in pursuit. Bring up the van. I repeat, bring
up the van now.
Curtis: Go, go, go,
go.
[Jack runs as the guards fire at him. Koo
comes out and is accidentally shot by his own guards.
Curtis and the agents run to the entrance to help Jack,
and a Chinese guard briefly unmasks an agent named Bern.
Bern recovers and puts his mask back on.]
Curtis:
Let’s go. Let’s go.
[Jack throws Lee in the van
and they realize that Lee’s been shot in the
back.]
Jack: He’s been hit. Pass me the medical
bag. Now!
Curtis: We’re in.
Jack: Go,
go!
[The van speeds away.]
Tony: Jack,
give me a status.
Jack: We’re away. Lee is in
custody. He’s been shot in the back. No exit
wound.
Tony: How bad is it?
Jack: I can’t
tell yet. The bleeding doesn’t look too severe. We’re on
our way to you. We’re about fifteen minutes
out.
Tony: All right. I’ll have medical
ready.
[Lee yells something in
Chinese.]
Melissa: He says not to touch him. He
doesn’t want you to touch him.
Jack: Tell him I’m
just trying to help him. I need to check his
wounds.
[Melissa explains Lee what Jack just told
her. Lee is still resistant.]
Jack: Hold him
down. Hold him down now! I need to calm him down so that
I can talk to him. We’ve got medical assistance waiting
for him. This shot is only going to help him, he’s in
pain.
[Melissa tries to calm Lee
down.]
Jack: Does he understand?
Melissa:
Yes.
[Jack gives Lee the
shot.]
------------------------
Audrey
(over the phone): Mm-hm. That’s great. Thank you very
much.
[Audrey hangs up.]
Audrey: Hey. The
FAA has cleared us to leave at 8:00 O’clock on a medical
transport plane. Doctor Basin’s agreed to accompany
us.
Paul: That’s great news.
Audrey: As
soon as you settle in I’ll start looking for an
apartment.
Paul: I don’t know what to say. I’m
gonna get through this.
Audrey: I know you
will.
[Audrey’s cell phone rings.]
Audrey:
Raines.
Man: I have your flight
information.
Audrey: Yeah.
Man: A medivac
will be there to pick you up at 06:00.
Audrey:
All right, so you’re gonna take care of the
transportation?
Man: Yes, Ma’am, that’s
correct.
[Suddenly, Paul has trouble
breathing.]
Audrey: I gotta call you
back.
[Audrey quickly hangs up the
phone.]
Audrey: Paul? Paul, what is it? Paul?
Doctor Basin! Please, someone come quickly!
[The
doctor runs inside the clinic.]
Audrey: OK, OK,
OK, it’s OK. He’s right here.
Doctor Basin: 10
milligrams of aspersing.
Audrey: He just started
gasping, I don’t know what’s going on.
Doctor
Basin: I barely hear his heart. We need to do an
ultrasound, but all signs point to a cardio temping
off.
Audrey: What does that mean?
Doctor
Basin: The sac around his heart is filling up with
blood, we can drain off some of the fluid, but we gotta
get him back to surgery now.
Audrey: Paul, it’s
OK, I’m right here.
Doctor Basin: If we don’t
stop the bleeding, his heart will not be able to
function.
Audrey: It’s OK. It’s OK.
Doctor
Basin: I need a pair of cardio CT’s
now.
------------------------
Jack: I need
to pull him on his back. Tell him we know that he helped
Habib Marwan with the missing warhead, and now we need
him to help us find Marwan and stop him before he can
detonate it. We know he’s involved, tell him we can
prove it with his E-mails.
[Melissa translates
this to Lee.]
Melissa: He doesn’t deny it. He
says he knows where Marwan is, and he will tell you if
you agree to his terms.
Jack: What are
they?
[Melissa asks Lee for his
terms.]
Melissa: He says he went to the Consulate
to gain protection from our government as well as
Marwan. He believes Marwan wants to kill him to prevent
him from talking. He wants our guarantee of
protection.
Jack: Tell him if the information
that he provide us leads us to the warhead in time, he
will be immune from prosecution in this country and I
will take him back to the Chinese Consulate or wherever
he wants to go.
[Melissa translates this to
Lee.]
Melissa: He says this is acceptable, but he
wants a guarantee of this in writing from the
President.
Jack: Tell him I understand him, and I
will get that for him, I give him my word, but I need
the information now.
[Melissa explains this to
Lee.]
Melissa: He says he must have this
guarantee before he will tell you.
[Jack’s cell
phone rings.]
Jack: No, that’s not good enough.
One minute.
[Jack takes the call.]
Jack:
This is Ba…
[Jack takes the com earpiece out of
his ear.]
Jack: This is Bauer.
Mike: Jack,
I have President Palmer.
Jack: Put him
through.
Palmer: Jack. Buchanan told me you’ve
got Lee Jong in custody, and that he was
wounded.
Jack: Yes, sir.
Palmer: Is he
talking?
Jack: He wants to help us, but he won’t
till he has a written guarantee that he won’t be
prosecuted in this country. We also have to provide safe
travel to a destination of his choosing. His guarantee
has to be signed by the President.
Palmer: Jack,
CTU believes the detonation of this warhead is imminent.
Can you force him to talk immediately?
Jack: I
don’t think so. I think the fastest way to make this
happen – get him what he wants.
Palmer: OK. I’ll
get the guarantee from Logan, and have it waiting for
you at CTU.
Jack: Thank you, sir.
[Palmer
hangs up. Mike enters the room.]
Palmer: What is
it?
Mike: Su Ming, the Deputy Chinese Consul.
They didn’t waste any time.
Palmer: I can’t blame
them. They have to know we’re behind the
attacks.
Mike: What should I tell
him?
Palmer: I’ll take the call. We have to start
fencing with them sooner or later. Might as well be now.
Mr. Lee won’t talk unless he has a guarantee of immunity
and safe transport. Get that from Logan, will
you?
[Palmer takes the call with Su
Ming.]
Palmer: Mr. Su.
Ming: Yes. Is this
President Palmer?
Palmer: Yes. Has the Premier
responded to the consul’s request to have Mr. Lee turned
over to us?
Ming: Mr. President, the consul is
dead.
[Palmer is shocked to hear that Koo was
killed during the raid.]
Palmer:
What?
Ming: He was shot when armed men broke into
this building and took Mr. Lee with them by
force.
Palmer: I’m shocked and deeply sad. Please
convey that to your government on behalf of
mine.
Ming: Mr. President, is it your position
that you have no knowledge of this operation? That the
timing of your call and this abduction is entirely
coincidental?
Palmer: The Consulate is a solvent
territory of the people’s republic of China. I can’t
believe anyone connected with this country had a hand in
it.
Ming: I’m sure you understand the political
ramifications if you are incorrect.
Palmer: And
I’m sure you understand the ramification of unproven
accusations.
Ming: No accusations have been made,
Mr. President, but I can assure you, there will be an
investigation.
Palmer: Your government will have
my complete cooperation.
Ming: Thank you, Mr.
President. I’m sure you’ll be hearing from us again very
soon.
[Ming hangs
up.]
------------------------
Mike:
President Logan will provide Lee with a written
guarantee as long as it remains covert. Sir? What’s
wrong?
Palmer: Koo Yin was killed in the course
of the abduction.
Mike: My God. By one of our own
people?
Palmer: No. It must have been from their
fire, but it really doesn’t matter. If they’re able to
find proof that we were involved, in the long run the
repercussions will be as serious as those we’re facing
from the
terrorists.
------------------------
Buchanan:
Tony. I just heard that Lee Jong is on his way here and
he’s been shot. How did this happen?
Tony: The
Chinese weren’t gonna give Lee up in time, so Jack and
his team had to extract him.
Buchanan: Jack went
into the Consulate? On whose authority?
Tony: The
White House.
Buchanan: Why is this first I’m
hearing about this?
Tony: This operation needed
to be kept off the books, to make sure it was
deniable.
Buchanan: But you know about
it.
Tony: Yes, I did. I ran tactical from
here.
Buchanan: It is absolutely unacceptable I
was kept out of the loop on this!
Tony: That’s
the way Jack wanted to play it.
Buchanan: You
don’t work for Jack, you work for me! A situation
frankly I wish I’d been consulted on in the first
place.
Tony: Meaning?
Buchanan: Meaning I
thought it was a mistake to reinstate you, and now I’m
certain of it.
Tony: Look, I understand you don’t
appreciate being kept in the dark, but I think this is
about something else.
Buchanan: Well, you’re
wrong about that too, and you are way out of
line!
[Buchanan leaves in
anger.]
------------------------
Jack
(over the phone): OK, thank you.
[Jack hangs
up.]
Jack: Tell him we’re almost there. The
medical assistance that we promised him and the
guarantee are waiting for him.
[Melissa tells Lee
about this.]
Melissa: I don’t understand
him.
Jack: Ask him if he’s in
pain.
Melissa: He says he’s cold, very
cold.
[Jack listens to the man’s chest and
realizes that his lungs are filling with
fluid.]
Curtis: What’s going on,
Jack?
Jack: He must have severe internal
bleeding. Dammit, his lungs are filling up with
fluid.
Curtis: I’ll alert CTU.
Jack: Mr.
Lee. Mr. Lee. Tell me where Habib Marwan is. Please,
tell me where he is now. Dammit, we’re losing
him.
Curtis: All right. Stand-by with a gurney.
We’re coming in
hot.
------------------------
[Audrey
watches through the window as the doctor performs
surgery on Paul in the CTU ward. Suddenly, Jack bursts
into the operating room with a gurney.]
Audrey:
Jack. Jack, what’s going on? Jack.
Doctor Basin:
You can’t come in here.
Jack: He’s
dying!
Doctor Basin: So is he. Get out of here, I
just started this operation.
Jack: This man is
our only connection to a stolen nuclear warhead. You
gotta save him now.
Doctor Basin: I’ll get to him
as soon as I can.
Jack: He’s not gonna make
it.
Doctor Basin: I already have a
patient.
Jack: Curtis.
[Jack pulls his gun
on the doctor.]
Jack: You have a new
one.
Doctor Basin: Are you crazy?
Jack:
Maybe you didn’t understand me. This is the only man
that can help us find the missing warhead and stop it
from being detonated. If you don’t save him, millions of
people will die, do you understand that? Millions of
people. Start working on him now!
Audrey: Jack,
what are you doing?
Doctor Basin: If I walk away
from Mr. Raines now, he will die.
Jack: You don’t
know that for sure.
Audrey: Jack!
Jack: Do
it. Now!
[Audrey is stunned as Paul is
abandoned.]
Doctor Basin: More
valium.
Nurse: Yes, Doctor.
Audrey: Jack,
please. Please, don’t do this.
Nurse: I’ll make
half of the syringe. Prep me the needle.
Nurse
#2: All right. I’ll have it standing-by.
Doctor
Basin: His lungs are damaged. He’s lost a lot of
blood.
Jack: All I need you to do I stabilize him
so I can talk to him. Can you do that?
Doctor
Basin: Maybe.
Jack: Then do it.
Doctor
Basin: Debra, I need you over here.
Debra: What
about Mr. Raines?
Doctor Basin: Have one of the
agents give him chest impressions if his pressure
drops.
Curtis: I got it.
Doctor Basin: Put
some gloves on.
Audrey: Jack. Jack!
Jack:
I have my orders, I’m doing my job! I’m
sorry!
Audrey: You’re sorry? You’re letting him
die! Stop, Jack!
[Audrey starts to become
violent.]
Jack: Get her away from me,
now!
[Agents pull Audrey out of the operating
room.]
Audrey: Stop it, Jack! Jack, stop! He
saved your life, Jack! Stop it!
Doctor Basin: We
have to relieve the pressure immediately. Get me a trace
2.
Audrey: Stop! Let go of me! Stop it! Let go of
me! Jack, listen to me. Please, stop this. Jack, please.
Please, I’m begging you, Jack, stop it! OK, let go of
me! Please! Let go of me.
[Paul’s blood pressure
crashes.]
Curtis: Jack, his pulse crashing.
Starting CPR.
Jack: What can we do for
him?
Doctor Basin: He’s in v-fib. Use a
defibrillator.
Jack: Charging.
Clear.
[Jack hits Paul with the
paddles.]
Audrey: Come on.
Doctor Basin:
Hit him again, Jack.
Jack: Charging.
Clear.
[Jack hits Paul with the paddles one more
time.]
Jack: He’s still flatlining.
Doctor
Basin: Give him a shot of epinephrine.
Jack:
Where is it?
Doctor Basin: It’s on the tray,
second syringe to the left.
Curtis: Got
it.
Doctor Basin: Inject in the
IV.
Curtis: It’s in.
Audrey: Come
on.
[Jack tries furiously to pump Paul’s chest,
but Paul dies.]
Curtis: Jack. Jack, he’s dead.
Jack.
Jack: No.
Curtis: Jack!
Jack:
No!
Curtis: Jack! He’s gone.
[Audrey
cries.]
Audrey: Oh, God. Oh, my
God.
[Audrey attacks Jack with
punches.]
Audrey: You son of a bitch, Jack! You
son of a bitch! You killed him! He saved your
life.
Doctor Basin: Get her out of here
now.
[Jack just stands there in shock. Audrey
screams at Jack as she is carried out of the operating
room.]
Audrey: How could you? You killed him! I
hate you, Jack! You killed him! How could you do this?
You killed him, Jack! You killed him! Let go of me! Get
of off me! Let go of me!
Jack: Is he gonna make
it?
Doctor Basin: I’m doing the best I
can.
[The doctor continues to operate on
Lee.]
