[ Jack Bauer] Previously on 24.
You know I have the fuel rods.
But I have no desire to harm innocent Americans.
And yet you're threatening them with a bomb.
What I'm asking for is simple.
- Τurn over President Hassan. - That will never happen.
You have exactly one hour to change your mind.
We have an out here. I think we should take it.
Give in to the demand to turn over President Hassan?
l will not sell him out to the very terrorists that we are determined to defeat.
What are you suggesting? A covert action.
We deliver Hassan to the terrorists, but make it look like they took him hostage.
l'm begging you. Don't do this.
Don't betray your president.
[ Grunts ] Ethan?
All right.
My God! Call a medic.
We wait to acquire Ηassan before calling an ambulance. Understand?
[ Machine Gun Fire ] Get down!
Take the weapon off now!
The dirty bomb will be detonated in New York unless we deliver Hassan to the terrorists.
Does the president know about this?
She's refusing to deal with the terrorists. Τhis is General Brucker's operation.
What are you doing?
Τhis is on you now. You have to deliver Hassan to the terrorists.
l don't take orders from anybody but the president of the United States. Now, move.
Are the Americans handing over Hassan or not?
Τhe only information we have is that he's being transported to McGuire Air Force Base.
So, President Τaylor doesn't intend to give him up.
Tarin. Yes?
The president has not responded. Start the countdown.
[ Beeping ]
[ Jack Bauer] The following takes place between 6:00 a.m. and 7:00 a.m.
N.Y.P.D. will handle hazmat and triage.
Τhe National Guard will control the streets,
and l've got an army battalion standing by.
[ Man ] Sir, what's our worst case scenario?
Well, a dirty bomb is about to go off in Manhattan, Commander.
l'd plan for mass panic.
Ethan Kanin is dying back there. We need to get him medical help. We will.
l mean now. No. Not until our team completes its mission.
When we have the bomb, then we'll get your friend help.
Madam President.
Carry on. General, what's our status on the ground?
Well, the civilian first responders are positioning for rapid deployment,
and we've got army support available as necessary.
At this point, only command level knows we're anticipating a radiological device,
but people on the ground are quick to connect the dots.
Word will get out. Yeah. l'd like to get ahead of that.
I've drafted an address for the networks, Rob. I need you to look at it.
And I'd like Ethan to read it too. He wasn't in his office. Do you know where he is?
l'll go find him.
Less than 1 0 minutes.
Dear God, this bomb cannot go off.
l'm sorry, Madam President, but we have to prepare for the worst.
What are the latest casualty figures?
Median scenario shows 58,000 dead over three days...
due to the bomb and ensuing panic.
But who knows? Maybe we'll get lucky.
Let me know the second President Hassan arrives. Yes, ma'am.
Τhis is not right. My life for so many others.
It's not right.
President Τaylor doesn't see it that way.
She knows I would never have gone along with this decision.
Τhat's why she kept me out of it.
You are more than just one life, Omar.
You are the best hope of ending a war that has lasted for decades.
You must understand President ΤayIor trying to protect that.
This is not acceptable, not like this.
Get in here.
Get down.
What are you doing? He's slowing us down.
Don't worry. He'll be fine. His injuries aren't lethal.
Jack, can I talk to you?
What?
Hassan isn't happy about Τaylor's response to the ultimatum.
Doesn't matter. It doesn't affect our mission.
He's a head of state, Jack. Maybe it should. It's not our call.
lf he wants to take it up with President Taylor, he can do it when he sees-
- What? - Throw your gun down.
- Omar, what are you doing? - Mr. President-
- Kick it to me. - Omar, have you lost your mind? Have you lost your mind?
You, outside! Back up inside!
Sir, you do not want to do- Just shut up and move it inside!
I'm giving you what you want. Here, take the gun.
- Omar, what are you doing? - I'm sorry, Dalia.
My life for tens of thousands? I couldn't live with that.
Omar, don't. You can't give yourself up. I have to.
But what if they're lying? What if they blow up the bomb anyway?
At least l've tried to stop the attack, and l've failed.
- But if I don't even try- - Father, please.
You stay here with Kayla. l'll send someone from our delegation to pick you up.
No. I won't leave you. Dalia, do as I say.
Do as l say! If you want me to stay, then you better lock me in that room...
because l won't let you walk to your death!
l won't leave you! Dalia, I said do as I say!
- No! - Ma'am, in the room! Now! In the room!
[ Grunts ]
We've got less than five minutes. We got to move.
Mr. President!
Mr. President, you can't trust him!
You can't trust him!
Come on.
Τhese people owe you their lives, sir. You're doing the right thing.
[ Dialing ]
[ Cell Phone Rings ] I don't have time to deal with these anymore.
[ Ringing ] That's the best I can do.
Excuse me. Thank you.
- Do you have the package? - Yes.
You're cutting it damn close, you know that? Yeah, there were complications.
Jack Bauer found out about our operation.
Ηe's no longer a problem. Casualties?
The entire unit. Everyone but me.
Sir, you need to know that President Ηassan is cooperating with us.
Ηe's here by choice. Well, what are you saying?
That he would have given himself up?
Yes, sir. We got to move. All right. Stay on the line.
[ Engine Starts ]
- Weiss. - Look at him. Ηe'll be dead soon if we don't do something.
Along with half of New York. Bishop's on the line.
He's got Hassan. Get ready to make the call.
Bishop, we're live. You there?
Yes, sir. We got less than two minutes. Do it.
[ Ringing ]
- Yes? - This is Rob Weiss, President Taylor's chief of staff.
Do you have Ηassan? Yes, and we're prepared to make the exchange.
Prove it. Uh, Bishop, put him on.
Ηere. He wants to talk to you.
This is President Hassan.
l'm prepared to give myself up if you stop the bomb.
So, President Taylor changed her mind.
No. She wasn't willing to meet your demands. I am.
But l need assurances. Assurances?
Yeah. That the exchange will-
Τhe exchange will happen exactly as you're told.
What you'll do is exactly what I say.
Damn it. We did what you asked. Quit staIling. We're running out of time.
- [ Line Clicks ] - He cut us off.
[ Weiss ] Only a minute and a half until the bomb goes off.
[ Sirens Blaring ]
[ Beeping ]
[ Cell Phone Rings ]
Yes? Tarin,
stop the bomb.
[ Beeping Stops ] [ Sighs ]
Ηassan will be arriving there shortly.
You know what to do. [ Sighs ]
Yes. All right.
[ Beeping ]
Bomb was supposed to go off four minutes ago.
There's no report ofan explosion anywhere on the island.
Arlo, what's happening on the ground?
Sweep teams are still looking everywhere. No luck.
According to the deadline we've been given, we're on borrowed time.
Τhe bomb is still out there, still a threat.
We may have caught a break here. [ Cell Phone Rings ]
Let's use it. O'Brian.
Chloe, it's Jack. I need your help.
Reception is terrible. I can barely hear you.
Can you hear me now? Yes.
President Hassan is trying to hand himself over to the terrorists.
That's why the bomb didn't go off.
No one here knows that.
And no one else can until l talk to the president. What's going on?
Chloe, l don't have time to explain. Please, just contact Tim Woods.
Ηe can get me a clean line to the president.
But no one else can know that l'm calling. Do you understand?
- l'll call you right back. - Who was that?
- Search team. Requesting updated grid assignments. - Do you need some help?
l'll ask if l do.
We're cIear!
[ Horns Honk ]
Keep them up here on the landing.
[ Scoffs ]
Nothing.
l need you to get them back to President Taylor.
What about you? I'm going to stay behind and look for Hassan.
Ma'am, I just got off the phone with C.Τ.U. Τhey're going to help me find your husband.
Right now, it's not safe here for you.
l want you and your daughter to continue on to the Air Force base.
Agent Walker will help you get there. She can be trusted completely.
Mr. Bauer, my father, he did what he thought was best. I know he did.
We're gonna do everything we can to get him back, but right now we need to move.
Let's go.
Jack, he gave himself up willingly. Maybe we should just let this happen.
l already told you, it's not our call.
President Τaylor asked me to protect him. Τhat's what I'm gonna try and do.
So, please, just get them to the Air Force base.
Taxi!
Come on. [ Cell Phone Rings ]
- This is Bauer. - I got a secure line.
Good. Chloe, I need you to do something else for me.
l'm on Seventh Avenue between 53rd and 54th.
There's a security camera mid-block. See if you can get a feed and roll it back.
President Ηassan was standing here less than 1 0 minutes ago. I'll check.
Seven minutes past the deadline.
- Do we have any idea why the bomb didn't go off? - No, Madam President.
We're polling our civilian counterparts trying to determine that.
Maybe it's like you said. We got lucky.
Well, at the moment it certainly looks that way.
What about President Ηassan? When will he arrive?
Well, his transport was a Secret Service operation, ma'am.
l'm not really in the loop. I'll look into it.
No, I'd rather you find Ethan. l'll page him.
No, not page him, find him. I need him here. Please.
Yes, ma'am.
Madam President? Yes?
- lt's an urgent call from Ηomeland for you. - Excuse me.
- This is President Taylor. - Madam President, this is Jack Bauer.
Please don't say my name or react openly to what I'm about to tell you.
Yes. President Hassan is no longer in my custody.
Ηe got away and he's trying to hand himself over to the terrorists.
That's why the bomb didn't detonate. I'm afraid I don't understand.
Madam President, you're being betrayed by General Brucker.
Forty minutes ago we were attacked by mercenaries under his command.
Go on. We managed to fight off the attack,
but President Ηassan turned himself over to one of them...
in an effort to stop the bomb from going off.
As we speak, they're preparing to hand him over to the terrorists.
l'm assuming that that is still something that is unacceptable to you.
That is correct. Madam President, General Brucker is in charge of this operation.
He's in communication with the terrorists.
l need to know where the exchange is gonna take place.
Ma'am, you need to confront him now. I understand.
As soon as you have anything, please contact C.T.U.
l will. Thank you, ma'am.
Come with me, please.
- Chloe, it's Jack. You still there? - I'm here.
What do you got? Got the security camera feed you were talking about.
Hassan got into a black S.U.V. at 6:08 with another guy.
That's got to be the merc he handed himself over to.
They were headed west on 53rd Street.
l was able to trace them until they turned north on Tenth Avenue.
Okay, good work. Redirect the satellites to the Upper West Side.
l'm on my way.
Hey! Hey! Hey!
Stop! Hey! Hey! Hey!
[ Sighs ] What now?
[ Cell Phone Rings ]
- Who's this? - Listen carefully.
Ηand the phone to the driver.
Tarin. It's you, isn't it?
Hand it to him now.
Ηe wants to talk to you.
- lt's Bishop. - Okay, Bishop, this is what you need to do.
Listen to my instructions and follow them.
Step out of the car, leaving the keys in the ignition. Take the phone with you.
Do it now.
Walk toward the intersection.
When the light changes, I want you to cross the street.
Stay inside the crosswalk.
Where's the bomb?
Just do what l say.
The deal was Hassan for the bomb.
- [ Beeping ] - The light's changed, Bishop. Move.
- Where is it? - Just do what I say.
Shut up. Listen.
Stop now. Don't turn around or you get nothing.
Stand there and wait.
Turn around. Walk toward the newspaper stand. Look down.
Show me your hands. Hands!
On the dash. [ Handcuffs Clicking ]
Where's the bomb? Where is it?
[ Engine Starts ]
[ Tires Squealing ]
Where is he? The general's in Mr. Kanin's office.
With Ethan? We're not sure.
No one's seen him in nearly an hour.
Ma'am, there's something you need to know.
Your chief of staff is with the general.
They appear to be in on this together.
Are you saying Rob Weiss betrayed me too?
l'm afraid so.
Okay, do it.
Don't move! Hands where we can see them!
Up!
Call Medical. Against the wall, hands behind your head!
Madam President, you need to see this.
[ Man ] Where's the medic?
Move! Oh, my God.
- ls he still alive? - Yes, ma'am.
- He's had a serious cardiac event. - Get him out of here!
No! You stay.
Where is President Ηassan?
Damn you, Rob. Where is he?
- l don't know. - Don't lie to me!
Τell me where he is! No, ma'am, I cannot.
And if it makes any difference, this was not an easy decision.
lt makes no difference at all. It wasn't your decision to make.
With all due respect, you were not elected to sentence tens of thousands of Americans to death.
ls that how you justify this?
You have sold out a peace I committed this administration to.
l've protected New York and given you plausible deniability in an impossible situation.
l don't want deniability. I want Hassan.
We are on the verge of a peace that has eluded this planet for 50 years,
and you are throwing it away!
Tell me where he is.
The charge is treason.
lt carries the death penalty, and so help me God, I'll throw the switch myself.
Tell me where he is. lt's not too late. [ Cell Phone Rings ]
lt is too late. They have Hassan. We have the bomb.
Τhe bomb's at Amsterdam and 93rd.
We'll get a NESΤ team there as soon as possible.
Damn you, Rob.
Really, Madam President? New York City is safe.
Take him away.
[ Beeping ]
Your attention, please.
I'vejust spoken with the president at McGuire.
Rogue operatives have handed Hassan over to the terrorists.
In return, they got the location of the dirty bomb- 93rd and Amsterdam.
Now, Jack Bauer and NESΤ are already on-site and disarming the bomb.
Our focus is to recover President Hassan.
We got satellite feed at 93rd, sir.
Okay, looks like we're back in business. Put it up on screen, Arlo.
We know that President Ηassan was handed over...
at that location approximately 1 0 minutes ago.
N.S.A. feed only gives us still images. We might have missed him.
We didn't. There's Bishop's S.U.V.
Okay, they've got to be close. Find them.
- Someone's approaching the S.U.V. - Any idea who that is?
[ Chloe ] I can try to clean up the image.
[Arlo ] Lost it. [ Chloe ] They were heading east.
We can backtrack through the traffic cam footage.
l want you and Dana to find that vehicle. As soon as you reacquire it, let Jack know.
Dana, where are you going? Hastings wants us to do this.
- l was thinking l would reroute some of the servers. - Not now.
lt'll give us more processing speed.
We can work with what we have. Let's get going.
Okay.
Τhose are the rods we were looking for, sir,
packed in enough C-4 to irradiate half of Manhattan.
Okay, as soon as they're extracted, l want you to contact C.T.U. Thanks.
Yes, sir. I want him transferred back to holding in Medical.
Contact Ηastings as soon as you're en route. So it's real, the dirty bomb?
Yeah.
Well, then we succeeded. We saved Manhattan.
You betrayed your president and your country. Get him out of here.
All right, come on. [ Cell Phone Rings ]
Τhis is Bauer. Go ahead. Jack, it's Chloe.
We've got Hassan's location. Ηe's heading north on Amsterdam in a black S.U.V.
Ηow far north? About 30 blocks ahead of you.
Jack, the president wants us to do everything we can to recover Hassan.
She wants you to lead the operation. How many men are with him?
[ Hastings ] We think only one- the driver.
Okay, Chloe, l need you to find me a suitable ambush point.
l want clean lines of fire from rooftop and street level.
ln order to protect Hassan, we need to take the vehicle and the driver out at the same time.
Τac teams are standing by, Jack. Is Cole with them?
No, on his way back. We expect him here any minute.
Τhen he's going to have to quarterback this op from C.T.U.
[ Chloe ] I'll get you real-time updates on the position of Hassan's vehicle.
Copy that.
Cole's back. I'll go get him.
[ Dialing ]
[ Line Rings ]
Yes? Ηello?
I'm so glad you're back. Yeah, me too. I heard we recovered the bomb.
Only 'cause Ηassan gave himself up to the terrorists.
Jack's putting together an intercept operation right now.
He wants you to run it from here.
All right, you'd better bring me up to speed.
What happened with that probation officer that was sniffing around?
l convinced him I didn't know anything. He left.
That's good. Yeah, it's good.
Hey. We're going to get through this, you and me. We will.
We should go.
[ Sighs ] You don't have to do this, Tarin.
You can pull over right now, stop the car.
Believe me, I want to do this.
lf you hate me so much, stand against me at home.
Join the opposition. Fight me openly, honorably.
l don't need to fight you, Hassan. You've already lost.
[ Sighs ] So tell me, what's the plan?
You'll put me on trial?
A dark room and a video camera, I suppose.
A man hiding behind a mask...
will read a list of my crimes and cut off my head with a sword.
Τhe world will be impressed.
You've done worse in your prisons.
Whatever l did,
l did to unite our country, to make us stronger.
That's a lie.
You just wanted to hand us over to the Americans. No.
l wanted us to rejoin the world. I wanted us to have peace.
You wanted the cover of Time magazine!
You think I don't know you, Omar.
l watched over you day and night, remember,
watched over you while you betrayed your own wife with a Western whore.
You care for nothing but yourself.
Yes. Yes, l've made mistakes.
But believing in peace was not one of them.
Think whatever you like.
You won't be around to find out.
[ Beeping ]
[ Sighs ]
[ Woman ] Madam President. Just- Just a moment.
Τhey're going to treat you on the base hospital.
But then l want you right back here. And that's an order.
Excuse me just a moment.
You have always been true to me, Ethan.
l need you now.
Hurry back.
Τake good care of him.
Madam President, Mrs. Hassan and her daughter have just arrived.
Thank you, Susan.
I am so relieved you're both safe.
Τhank you, Madam President.
Do you know what is happening with my husband? We do.
Ηe's in the hands of the terrorists, but we're tracking him on satellite.
We're going in now to monitor the rescue effort.
Do you want to join us?
Yes.
All right.
lf you will, go on in the situation room, and- and I'll be there in a minute.
Τhank you. Thank you.
l didn't expect to see you again, Ms. Walker.
But in these last few hours,
l have learned how few people I can really trust.
l am glad you're here.
Τhank you, Madam President.
But I think I'd be of more use at C.T.U.
Of course. Susan will arrange a car for you.
Τhank you, ma'am.
Thank you.
Jack Bauer and C.Τ.U. are running the operation.
We expect the intercept to occur in a few minutes. Okay.
[ Man ] Ma'am, satellite feed's coming in from C.T.U.
Jack, Hassan's vehicle just crossed 130th.
l'm at 1 1 0th Street. Do we have an ambush point yet?
Yes. lntersection of 1 61 st and Amsterdam.
Who've we got for the take-down team?
l have a special ops unit moving into position.
We'll trigger the traffic lights to stop the vehicle at the intersection,
then heavy machine gun fire into the engine block to disable it, snipers to take out the driver.
That leaves you to reacquire Hassan.
Good. What's our perimeter look like?
Bridges and tunnels were closed earlier this morning.
Τhat means Riverside Drive is shut down too. He can only use Amsterdam.
- What about cross streets? - We got 'em all covered from 140th Street on.
As long as we don't spook him, he'll drive straight into the ambush.
Copy that. Leave this line open in case there are any changes in the route.
You got it. What's our timing?
Given traffic flow, Tarin should hit the intersection in eight minutes.
l can use traffic lights to slow him down if Jack hasn't caught up.
Fine. l'll let the president know.
Cole, l'm seeing some fluctuations in the carrier signal on the subnet.
What's that mean? It might be a problem with the trunk line.
We can't afford another dropout with the satellite feed.
Τhat's how we lost the rods in the first place.
Chloe, what's the status of your work-around on the trunk line?
lt's working fine, if you ask me. Do you need me to check it?
No, we need you here. I can check it if you can watch my screen, Chloe.
- Okay. - Thanks, Dana.
Arlo, what are you doing here? I could ask you the same.
Cole asked me to check on the trunk line.
Except the trunk line's over here.
l can do it from here also. I set up this system, you know.
Right. Sorry.
Then maybe you can explain why they keep going down.
We were hit with a massive electromagnetic pulse.
lt's a miracle we managed to get anything up and running again as fast as we did.
[ Keyboard Clacking ]
So, what are you doing now?
l'm running a diagnostic on the trunk line.
Why were you looking at a map of Manhattan if you're running an internal diagnostic?
l was checking the progress of the operation.
How l do my work is none of your business, Arlo.
Actually, given that l've been having to cover for you the entire night,
- l think it is my business. - Fine.
You want to check up on me, go ahead.
You're really going to do this. Yeah, l am.
[ Keyboard Clacking ]
So, where are the diagnostics?
[ Sighs ] ln the systems folder, where they always are.
No, l mean, where on your screen?
l thought you said you were working on this.
l wasn't using diagnostics.
l was monitoring the voltage fluctuation in the trunk line directly.
[ Chuckles ] Really. How?
[ Chuckles ] I thought you knew everything.
[ Cell Phone Beeps ] Yeah.
[ Chloe ] Arlo, where are you? Hastings is looking for you.
Yeah, I'll be right down.
Hastings wants me on the floor.
l'll leave you to do whatever you're doing.
Don't push it, Arlo.
[ Door Opens, Closes ]
[ Dialing ]
[ Cell Phone Rings ]
Yes. [ Dana ] C.T.U. is following you.
- Where? Where are they? - They're all over you.
There's an ambush set for 1 61 st. I'm nearly there.
-Why l'm only hearing this now? -Look, l am already doing far more than I've been paid to do.
You need to calm down. We knew this might happen.
Can you find me an exit?
There's one between 1 58th and 1 59th. Parking garage.
1 58th, 1 59th. Is everyone ready for this?
l will let Samir know, and then it's up to him.
lt's only a matter of time before this gets traced back to me.
l need to get the hell out of here while I still can.
[ Beeping ]
[ Chloe ] Hassan is crossing over 148th Street.
I'm activating signals up to 160th.
- You took your time. - I'm sorry. It got complicated.
- ls the trunk line going to hold? - Yeah, l think so.
Then we keep going. What's our timing, Chloe? Intercept: four minutes.
Jack, do you have a visual on Hassan yet?
Negative. He's five blocks ahead of you, Jack.
Roger that. Tac teams in position? They're good to go.
Okay, nobody move until Ηassan's vehicle is stopped in the intersection.
[ Ηorns Honking ]
What are you looking for? We are being followed, aren't we?
Shut up.
That phone call, it's a warning. C.T.U. is onto you.
- l'm not afraid of C.Τ.U. - Why are you looking over your shoulder all the time?
l said shut up!
Tarin, it's not too late. Give yourself up.
Give yourself up, and I'll speak for you.
l won't warn you again.
You're on an isIand here.
There's no way out. They'll find you.
Yes, they will. Soon enough.
Damn it! Τhey've made us! He's breaking left! I repeat, he's breaking left!
[ Horn Honks ]
Chloe, have you got them? Can you see where they're going? Checking.
What's happening? Why did he turn?
Ηe's in a parking garage. lt extends across the block. How many exits?
Only two. Okay, he's going to have to double back.
Where's the other exit? Broadway.
l'll cover that. Cole, l want you to pull your team back from the ambush point.
Cover the block. You got it.
[ Cole ] All teams, pull back and reposition.
Set a perimeter around the parking garage between 158th and 159th.
[ Engine Starts ]
[ Sirens Blaring ]
[ Τires Squealing ]
I got him.
He's going back into the garage. Copy that.
All units converging on your position.
Ηe's just moving deeper into the structure.
Ηe's got no place else to go, Jack. You got him.
[ Τires Squealing ]
- Where did they go? - Inside the structure.
[ Τires Squealing ]
He's running for the roof.
[ Τires Squealing ]
[ Horn Honks ]
Move! Move! [ Horn Honking ]
Where the hell's he going?
Ηe's coming straight at me! Damn it!
[ Sobs ]
Chloe, you got any movement from the target vehicle?
No. No one could survive that.
Chloe, Hassan's not in the vehicle.
You know where to go.
What if he comes to? He won't. Not before you deliver him. Go!
l said go!
[ Dialing ]
[ Cell Phone Rings ]
Yeah. [ Jack ] Hey, it's me.
Ηave you got Ηassan? No.
We set up our ambush. We were seconds away from taking him down,
when out of nowhere, the driver deviated from his route.
Ηe managed to transfer Ηassan to another vehicle before I could get to him.
Someone inside C.T.U. has got to be tipping them off.
Ηow is that possible? I don't know, but l've got the driver's cell phone.
Soon as we can set up an uplink, I'll be able to figure out who it is.
l'm on my way to C.Τ.U. Do you want me to talk to Chloe?
Yeah, but no one else. Τell her we need a secure area to run the uplink.
Get back to me as soon as you're ready. Okay.
[ Shouting, lndistinct ]
[ Jack ] We need to search the parking structure. They switched cars.
- Get a team and move in now. - [ Man ] All right, let's move.
[ Man #2 ] Move! Expedite!
[ Shouting, lndistinct ]
[ Beeping ]
[ Crickets Chirping ]
