1
00:00:15,579 --> 00:00:17,415
- Yeah.
- Mark Hauser?
2
00:00:17,581 --> 00:00:20,334
- Who's this?
- You know who it is.
3
00:00:20,501 --> 00:00:24,964
- I already gave you what you asked for.
- But your employer has tightened security.
4
00:00:25,131 --> 00:00:28,384
- So the access I paid for is no good.
- It'll take some time
5
00:00:28,551 --> 00:00:32,346
- to download the new security protocols.
- I'll be there in 40 minutes.
6
00:00:33,639 --> 00:00:36,809
Federal agent, get on the floor!
7
00:00:36,976 --> 00:00:41,272
Hauser sold Gredenko security specs
for Edgemont nuclear power facility.
8
00:00:41,439 --> 00:00:44,734
- Does Gredenko have them?
- He's picking them up in 20 minutes.
9
00:00:44,900 --> 00:00:49,655
Hauser was wounded, but he's got a brother.
We're gonna use him for the transaction.
10
00:00:49,822 --> 00:00:51,782
You look nervous, Brady.
11
00:00:53,701 --> 00:00:56,412
All teams, take out your targets.
12
00:00:56,579 --> 00:01:00,458
All teams, there's a third hostile
inside the vehicle.
13
00:01:01,709 --> 00:01:03,002
You know who I am.
14
00:01:03,169 --> 00:01:07,506
Then you know what I'm gonna do to you,
unless you tell me where the bombs are.
15
00:01:07,673 --> 00:01:09,508
First, my terms.
16
00:01:09,675 --> 00:01:14,388
Amnesty from your government
and a guarantee I won't be returned to Russia.
17
00:01:14,764 --> 00:01:17,099
Nadia's being processed
as an enemy combatant.
18
00:01:17,266 --> 00:01:20,186
I don't know if I can accept
that she betrayed us.
19
00:01:20,352 --> 00:01:23,689
She spied for Fayed? I think we're wrong.
20
00:01:23,856 --> 00:01:27,735
- I hear you and Nadia Yassir are friends.
- Yeah. Why do you ask?
21
00:01:27,902 --> 00:01:31,697
I came across evidence at the switching
station that proves she's innocent.
22
00:01:31,864 --> 00:01:34,241
You're cleared, Nadia.
23
00:01:35,284 --> 00:01:38,954
Admiral, is the Vickery ready to launch?
24
00:01:39,121 --> 00:01:42,458
- It's seconds from optimal launch position.
- Good.
25
00:01:42,625 --> 00:01:44,460
Proceed with the strike.
26
00:01:44,627 --> 00:01:49,298
Vice President Daniels is about to launch
a nuclear strike against the Middle East.
27
00:01:49,465 --> 00:01:55,054
This strike is a complete reversal
of everything that he was working for.
28
00:01:55,221 --> 00:01:59,058
You want Dr. Welton
to bring him out of the coma?
29
00:01:59,225 --> 00:02:00,476
Yes.
30
00:02:02,311 --> 00:02:04,563
It's for you, sir.
31
00:02:04,730 --> 00:02:07,149
- Yes?
- I've called off the strike, Noah.
32
00:02:07,316 --> 00:02:09,568
I'm resuming my duties
as commander in chief.
33
00:02:09,735 --> 00:02:15,616
Inform Admiral Smith and the others there's
to be no action without my authorization.
34
00:02:15,991 --> 00:02:19,620
It's apparent to me
the president is still suffering the effects
35
00:02:19,787 --> 00:02:22,414
from the attack on his life.
36
00:02:22,581 --> 00:02:25,292
I can't let him remain in power.
37
00:02:27,002 --> 00:02:29,505
Get me the Attorney General.
38
00:02:37,012 --> 00:02:40,432
- Should have live feed, sir.
- Secretary Dawes,
39
00:02:40,599 --> 00:02:43,185
- can you see and hear me clearly?
- Yes, I can.
40
00:02:43,352 --> 00:02:45,688
Secretary Durant
and Attorney General Graves?
41
00:02:45,855 --> 00:02:48,440
- Connections are being set up.
- And the president?
42
00:02:48,607 --> 00:02:51,402
He should be arriving any moment.
43
00:02:56,532 --> 00:02:59,368
- What are you doing?
- I need to get up from this wheelchair.
44
00:02:59,535 --> 00:03:03,372
- No, you need to take care of yourself.
- Sandra, I can't afford to look weak.
45
00:03:03,539 --> 00:03:06,250
Roosevelt did just fine
from a wheelchair.
46
00:03:06,417 --> 00:03:10,004
Listen, when I face Daniels,
I want to be on my feet.
47
00:03:12,548 --> 00:03:14,633
- Dr. Welton?
- Yes, sir?
48
00:03:17,887 --> 00:03:21,849
- Can you give me a shot of Adrenalin?
- Wayne.
49
00:03:23,100 --> 00:03:27,396
I can. It'll raise your blood pressure,
which is not what you need right now.
50
00:03:27,563 --> 00:03:29,315
The risk of...
51
00:03:29,481 --> 00:03:33,444
- Mr. President? It is time.
- Give us a few minutes, please.
52
00:03:33,611 --> 00:03:35,738
Excuse me, Mr. President.
53
00:03:37,323 --> 00:03:39,867
- Mr. President...
- Just do it.
54
00:03:43,787 --> 00:03:45,956
Now.
55
00:03:46,957 --> 00:03:49,668
- What do you have, Jack?
- Gredenko offered us Fayed,
56
00:03:49,835 --> 00:03:53,881
in exchange for immunity and a guarantee
that we won't extradite him back to Russia.
57
00:03:54,048 --> 00:03:57,843
- Bill, I don't trust it. He rolled over too easy.
- What do you think his play is?
58
00:03:58,010 --> 00:04:01,347
- I don't know yet.
- It's your call, Jack.
59
00:04:01,513 --> 00:04:04,183
But you should know
what's happening in Washington.
60
00:04:04,350 --> 00:04:07,645
- The president's regained consciousness.
- How is he?
61
00:04:07,811 --> 00:04:12,608
Well enough. But Daniels is challenging him
under the 25th Amendment,
62
00:04:12,775 --> 00:04:16,946
in large part so he can go ahead with
the nuclear strike against Fayed's country.
63
00:04:17,112 --> 00:04:19,615
- Does he have a chance of winning?
- It's unclear.
64
00:04:19,782 --> 00:04:24,995
But if Fayed detonates another bomb,
no one will be able to stand in Daniels' way.
65
00:04:25,162 --> 00:04:31,085
If there's a challenge for the presidency,
the immunity agreement won't be binding.
66
00:04:31,251 --> 00:04:35,381
Bill, you need to understand that I have
no intention of honoring this agreement.
67
00:04:35,547 --> 00:04:37,758
Tell the Attorney General,
draw up the papers.
68
00:04:37,925 --> 00:04:39,635
I'm calling him right now.
69
00:04:44,431 --> 00:04:48,560
The president should be here momentarily.
70
00:05:04,702 --> 00:05:08,622
- Mr. President.
- Mr. President.
71
00:05:13,002 --> 00:05:17,256
Mr. President. I know
I speak for everyone here in saying
72
00:05:17,423 --> 00:05:21,218
how very happy I am
to have you with us again.
73
00:05:24,138 --> 00:05:26,265
Let's proceed.
74
00:05:33,647 --> 00:05:36,608
As you know, an attempt was made
to assassinate the president.
75
00:05:36,775 --> 00:05:43,032
He sustained injuries so serious that the
doctors had to induce a temporary coma
76
00:05:43,198 --> 00:05:47,995
in order to relieve the pressure on his brain.
In so doing, they saved his life.
77
00:05:48,162 --> 00:05:52,583
The question now is whether,
in the words of the 25th Amendment,
78
00:05:52,750 --> 00:05:58,422
he is unable to discharge
the duties and powers of his office.
79
00:05:58,589 --> 00:06:01,884
- Isn't this really a medical question?
- Well, to a degree it is.
80
00:06:02,051 --> 00:06:05,429
But the 25th Amendment
puts the final decision
81
00:06:05,596 --> 00:06:09,641
- squarely in the hands of the cabinet.
- May we hear medical testimony?
82
00:06:09,808 --> 00:06:13,562
Yes. Let me bring in the surgeon
in charge of the president's case.
83
00:06:13,729 --> 00:06:16,523
Dr. Welton, if you would, please.
84
00:06:22,154 --> 00:06:26,075
The president has undergone an ordeal,
but from a medical point of view,
85
00:06:26,241 --> 00:06:30,370
the greatest danger has passed. His
cognitive functions are presenting normally.
86
00:06:30,537 --> 00:06:33,707
I have every expectation
that he will make a full recovery.
87
00:06:33,874 --> 00:06:36,919
Might the pressures of the office
increase the chance of a relapse?
88
00:06:37,086 --> 00:06:41,673
- It's difficult to say. It's certainly a possibility.
- Can you estimate those chances?
89
00:06:41,840 --> 00:06:45,677
- No, I'm afraid I can't.
- If you had a vote, Doctor,
90
00:06:45,844 --> 00:06:49,264
- how would you cast it?
- This is precisely the question
91
00:06:49,431 --> 00:06:52,810
which the Constitution demands
that this cabinet answer.
92
00:06:52,976 --> 00:06:54,937
Thank you very much, Doctor.
93
00:06:55,104 --> 00:06:57,439
Mr. President, I think now
would be an appropriate time
94
00:06:57,606 --> 00:07:04,154
- to address the cabinet, if you would, please.
- The vice president initiated this process
95
00:07:04,321 --> 00:07:08,033
because I stopped him launching
a nuclear strike against the Middle East.
96
00:07:08,200 --> 00:07:10,619
But this vote shouldn't be about policy.
97
00:07:10,786 --> 00:07:13,664
According to the Constitution,
you're judging me
98
00:07:13,831 --> 00:07:18,210
to see if I am unable
to discharge the duties of my office.
99
00:07:18,377 --> 00:07:21,964
Well, as you can see,
and as you were just told by my physician,
100
00:07:22,131 --> 00:07:26,718
I'm in complete possession of my faculties,
and so to remove me from this office
101
00:07:26,885 --> 00:07:30,973
would be to betray both your oath
and the American people,
102
00:07:31,140 --> 00:07:34,268
who voted me as their president.
103
00:07:39,982 --> 00:07:42,109
Mr. Vice President?
104
00:07:44,653 --> 00:07:48,157
Ladies and gentlemen of the cabinet,
the 25th Amendment is purposely vague
105
00:07:48,323 --> 00:07:53,954
on how you're supposed to judge if the
president is unable to discharge his duties,
106
00:07:54,121 --> 00:08:00,043
which is why this is very much about
the president's policies, and his actions.
107
00:08:00,210 --> 00:08:03,255
Here are the facts:
when a second nuclear attack today
108
00:08:03,422 --> 00:08:06,049
spread radiation over one of our major cities,
109
00:08:06,216 --> 00:08:11,013
I decided it was necessary
to launch a retaliatory strike,
110
00:08:11,180 --> 00:08:17,686
to show our enemies that if attacked,
we would make them share our pain.
111
00:08:17,853 --> 00:08:21,773
Wayne Palmer's first act
upon regaining consciousness
112
00:08:21,940 --> 00:08:23,984
was to stop that strike.
113
00:08:25,444 --> 00:08:29,948
To respond to the attack by doing nothing.
114
00:08:30,616 --> 00:08:35,162
In a time of war, the president must be
strong enough in body and mind
115
00:08:35,329 --> 00:08:37,247
to defend this country.
116
00:08:37,414 --> 00:08:42,586
And I'm afraid Wayne Palmer's actions
are the proof in this matter
117
00:08:42,753 --> 00:08:48,258
that indeed he is unable
to discharge his duties.
118
00:08:54,640 --> 00:08:58,727
All right. Time is of the essence,
so unless there is an objection,
119
00:08:58,894 --> 00:09:04,900
I would like to recess and then reconvene
for your vote in ten minutes.
120
00:09:28,465 --> 00:09:33,887
- Any word on the cabinet vote?
- No, they haven't come back yet.
121
00:09:34,846 --> 00:09:40,602
Look, Milo, about what happened today.
Let's just put it behind us, OK?
122
00:09:40,769 --> 00:09:45,107
Which part? The suspicion of terrorism,
123
00:09:45,274 --> 00:09:48,193
or the other thing?
124
00:09:48,360 --> 00:09:51,571
- The suspicion.
- And the other thing?
125
00:09:51,738 --> 00:09:55,534
Let's not worry about it right now.
Let's try and get through the day.
126
00:09:55,701 --> 00:09:57,703
OK.
127
00:10:00,289 --> 00:10:05,919
I'm not gonna forget about the kiss,
and I don't think you are either.
128
00:10:07,838 --> 00:10:12,259
- Nadia.
- It's Doyle. Don't say my name. Just listen.
129
00:10:12,426 --> 00:10:16,513
I need you to come up to my office.
Don't say anything to anybody. Just come.
130
00:10:16,680 --> 00:10:18,098
On my way.
131
00:10:32,070 --> 00:10:34,114
Have a seat.
132
00:10:39,911 --> 00:10:42,956
Look, I know you and I
got off to kind of a bad start.
133
00:10:43,457 --> 00:10:46,626
"A bad start"? You assaulted me.
134
00:10:47,294 --> 00:10:52,215
This country is under attack. We had reason
to believe there was a mole in this building.
135
00:10:52,382 --> 00:10:55,427
Starting with you wasn't racist.
It was common sense.
136
00:10:55,594 --> 00:10:59,473
- So you're not a racist, you're just a sadist.
- You don't know me.
137
00:10:59,639 --> 00:11:01,308
I think I do.
138
00:11:03,643 --> 00:11:06,271
- Why did you call me here?
- Turns out there was no mole.
139
00:11:06,438 --> 00:11:09,483
The terrorists could hack into our system
'cause someone screwed up
140
00:11:09,649 --> 00:11:12,152
and logged the wrong security parameters.
141
00:11:12,319 --> 00:11:16,198
I'm pretty sure that someone was Milo,
and the proof is on his computer.
142
00:11:16,365 --> 00:11:18,784
I need someone to get it
without him noticing.
143
00:11:18,950 --> 00:11:20,952
I can't do that.
144
00:11:21,119 --> 00:11:26,792
Why? Is it 'cause you're too busy deciding
if you wanna sleep with him?
145
00:11:27,292 --> 00:11:31,129
Listen, if you don't get the evidence for me,
I'm gonna call a forensics team
146
00:11:31,296 --> 00:11:34,424
and they'll tear his system apart
as the entire floor watches.
147
00:11:34,591 --> 00:11:36,885
And if they find
what I think they'll find,
148
00:11:37,052 --> 00:11:40,639
everyone gets to watch Milo
hauled out of this building in handcuffs.
149
00:11:40,806 --> 00:11:44,476
I'm sure it wasn't pleasant when it happened
to you, but you're gonna stand by
150
00:11:44,643 --> 00:11:49,898
and watch it happen to him?
That's your idea of being a friend?
151
00:11:50,065 --> 00:11:52,651
So you want me
to betray him for his own good?
152
00:11:52,818 --> 00:11:57,364
I promise you, Milo will be better off
if you help me than if you don't.
153
00:11:57,531 --> 00:11:59,241
Your call.
154
00:12:02,911 --> 00:12:05,747
If the cabinet sides with you,
what will you do about Daniels?
155
00:12:05,914 --> 00:12:09,584
The Constitution does not allow the president
to fire his vice president.
156
00:12:09,751 --> 00:12:13,088
- But you can marginalize him.
- She's right. Get him out of the bunker.
157
00:12:13,255 --> 00:12:15,799
I'd love to, but Daniels
has way too many supporters,
158
00:12:15,966 --> 00:12:19,261
and I can't afford
to alienate any one of them right now.
159
00:12:19,428 --> 00:12:24,766
Besides, I'd rather have him somewhere
where I can keep an eye on him.
160
00:12:24,933 --> 00:12:28,019
- Mr. President? The cabinet's reconvening.
- Thank you.
161
00:12:28,186 --> 00:12:30,647
All right, let's go.
162
00:12:46,246 --> 00:12:47,747
Please, sit down.
163
00:12:50,834 --> 00:12:56,089
Right. Ladies and gentlemen of the cabinet,
let us now begin the vote.
164
00:12:56,256 --> 00:13:01,428
Will those of you who believe that President
Palmer is able to discharge his duties
165
00:13:01,595 --> 00:13:04,639
please, at this time, raise your hand?
166
00:13:13,482 --> 00:13:16,610
Do we have any abstentions?
167
00:13:18,904 --> 00:13:21,406
The vote is seven to seven.
168
00:13:23,116 --> 00:13:27,037
Mr. Attorney General,
what would be the next step?
169
00:13:27,954 --> 00:13:30,165
Well, there's no need for a next step.
170
00:13:30,332 --> 00:13:35,170
The Amendment requires that the vice
president and a majority of the cabinet agree.
171
00:13:35,337 --> 00:13:42,469
There is no majority in the cabinet, it's split
evenly. President Palmer remains in office.
172
00:13:46,389 --> 00:13:51,186
It's not that simple.
One of the cabinet votes is invalid.
173
00:13:51,353 --> 00:13:55,023
- Sir, which vote is not valid?
- National security advisor.
174
00:13:55,190 --> 00:13:57,025
- What do you mean?
- She resigned.
175
00:13:57,192 --> 00:13:59,569
- I resumed my duties.
- I don't agree.
176
00:14:00,111 --> 00:14:02,447
I've seen no evidence
that you've been reinstated.
177
00:14:02,614 --> 00:14:08,036
That is ridiculous. I sat here with you in
a cabinet meeting less than one hour ago!
178
00:14:08,203 --> 00:14:10,747
Ms. Hayes, allowing you
to sit in on the meeting
179
00:14:10,914 --> 00:14:14,876
isn't equivalent to formally recognizing you
as national security advisor!
180
00:14:15,043 --> 00:14:17,546
In fact, I did not and do not so recognize you.
181
00:14:17,712 --> 00:14:21,591
- Oh, my God.
- And if Ms. Hayes' vote is invalid,
182
00:14:21,758 --> 00:14:26,388
then the tally's seven to six in favor
of invoking the 25th Amendment
183
00:14:26,555 --> 00:14:29,808
and removing President Palmer from power.
184
00:14:32,018 --> 00:14:33,186
I'm sorry, Wayne.
185
00:14:35,188 --> 00:14:40,902
Noah, don't waste your apologies on me,
because I won't let you steal the presidency.
186
00:14:41,069 --> 00:14:43,488
- That's not gonna happen.
- Then what do you suggest?
187
00:14:43,655 --> 00:14:46,366
- The country has to be governed.
- I would suggest, sir,
188
00:14:46,533 --> 00:14:49,327
- that this is properly a matter for the courts.
- I concur.
189
00:14:49,494 --> 00:14:54,082
- We don't have time to go to...
- Mr. Vice President, if I may.
190
00:14:54,249 --> 00:14:57,586
I agree with Mr. Lennox.
This is a legal question.
191
00:14:57,752 --> 00:15:01,172
The Supreme Court was in session
this afternoon. We can recall it,
192
00:15:01,339 --> 00:15:05,427
and have them render a decision
regarding the validity of the vote.
193
00:15:05,594 --> 00:15:07,637
The matter could be resolved
in under an hour.
194
00:15:07,804 --> 00:15:13,393
Thank you, Attorney General Graves.
Get the process started and keep us advised.
195
00:15:13,560 --> 00:15:16,521
I think this meeting is concluded.
196
00:15:25,530 --> 00:15:28,617
- Get my affidavit started.
- Yeah.
197
00:15:28,783 --> 00:15:30,785
Tom.
198
00:15:35,123 --> 00:15:40,086
You know something?
I'm beginning to think you're not on my side.
199
00:15:40,253 --> 00:15:42,839
Sir, I'm on the side
of the United States of America,
200
00:15:43,006 --> 00:15:48,428
and if you ever thought otherwise,
you're very much mistaken.
201
00:16:02,317 --> 00:16:05,236
Gredenko's attorney approved
the immunity agreements.
202
00:16:05,403 --> 00:16:08,782
Yeah, we're just waiting for digital signatures.
203
00:16:08,948 --> 00:16:16,081
All right. I'll inform the Attorney General's
office it's on its way. Thank you.
204
00:16:16,247 --> 00:16:17,791
- Milo.
- What's up?
205
00:16:17,957 --> 00:16:22,295
I'm having a problem. My station keeps
telling me to refresh the system credentials.
206
00:16:22,462 --> 00:16:26,424
It's the hardware codes. You have to
reset them. I can take care of it.
207
00:16:26,591 --> 00:16:28,134
Thanks.
208
00:16:29,928 --> 00:16:32,347
- You OK?
- Yeah.
209
00:17:05,130 --> 00:17:08,425
You were right. Milo forgot
to refresh the security parameters.
210
00:17:08,591 --> 00:17:13,638
The breach was his fault. So when you tell
District, they can fire and maybe arrest him.
211
00:17:13,805 --> 00:17:18,476
Which is why I'm going to alter the log
so they'll never know.
212
00:17:18,643 --> 00:17:24,107
This should work, as long as
they haven't changed the password.
213
00:17:28,027 --> 00:17:30,155
There. It's done.
214
00:17:31,406 --> 00:17:34,993
- Why did you do that?
- All I care about is finding those nukes.
215
00:17:35,160 --> 00:17:42,083
We have a better chance of doing that with
Milo on board, whether he likes me or not.
216
00:17:42,250 --> 00:17:45,837
"And mankind is naught but a single nation."
217
00:17:46,880 --> 00:17:50,592
- You've read the Koran?
- And the Bible. And the Upanishads.
218
00:17:50,759 --> 00:17:53,553
Anything I can get my hands on.
219
00:17:53,720 --> 00:17:59,350
You're lucky, you've found your answers.
I'm looking for mine.
220
00:17:59,517 --> 00:18:02,562
I'd better get ready to deploy.
221
00:18:28,963 --> 00:18:34,469
- What did Doyle want?
- Nothing. Just reviewing some data sets.
222
00:18:37,055 --> 00:18:40,225
There you go. Your system's back up.
223
00:18:40,850 --> 00:18:42,936
Thanks.
224
00:19:04,624 --> 00:19:06,918
- Buchanan.
- Hi, it's me.
225
00:19:07,460 --> 00:19:09,796
- How did the cabinet vote go?
- It was a tie,
226
00:19:09,963 --> 00:19:13,049
which in effect means
that Palmer is still in office.
227
00:19:13,216 --> 00:19:17,011
- That's good. That's what we wanted.
- Daniels is contesting the vote.
228
00:19:17,178 --> 00:19:20,139
- He's saying that mine is invalid.
- Based on what?
229
00:19:20,306 --> 00:19:23,935
Based on the fact that I resigned,
and I was never officially reinstated.
230
00:19:24,102 --> 00:19:29,524
That's ridiculous. You attended meetings.
You had no replacement assigned.
231
00:19:29,691 --> 00:19:33,319
I know, but maybe he's right, Bill.
I did hand in my resignation.
232
00:19:33,486 --> 00:19:37,615
Which was rescinded before it was
officially accepted. Daniels knows that.
233
00:19:37,782 --> 00:19:41,077
- He's grasping at straws, Karen.
- I'm so scared, Bill.
234
00:19:41,244 --> 00:19:44,581
If he wins, this will all be my fault.
235
00:19:44,747 --> 00:19:47,083
Stop, stop.
236
00:19:48,126 --> 00:19:51,713
It's desperate maneuvering on his part,
Karen, nothing more.
237
00:19:51,880 --> 00:19:55,967
He hasn't got a case.
And the Supreme Court will agree.
238
00:19:57,510 --> 00:20:01,055
Well, we're giving our arguments
in 15 minutes.
239
00:20:01,222 --> 00:20:05,560
- Call me as soon as the decision is in.
- Thank you for being there.
240
00:20:05,727 --> 00:20:09,522
You don't have to thank me.
It's my job.
241
00:20:13,026 --> 00:20:15,069
I miss you so much.
242
00:20:15,236 --> 00:20:17,155
I miss you too.
243
00:20:17,322 --> 00:20:19,782
- I'll talk to you soon.
- Bye.
244
00:20:35,632 --> 00:20:39,218
Good. My attorney
has verified the agreements.
245
00:20:39,761 --> 00:20:43,514
- We're set. Gredenko's ready to make the call.
- We're standing by.
246
00:20:43,681 --> 00:20:47,769
Doyle's got a team ready to go as soon
as Fayed tells Gredenko where to meet him.
247
00:20:47,936 --> 00:20:51,856
You try and warn Fayed
with anything you say, or how you say it,
248
00:20:52,023 --> 00:20:57,695
- and I will kill you right here, right now.
- I believe you, Agent Bauer.
249
00:20:57,862 --> 00:20:59,906
Make the call.
250
00:21:09,207 --> 00:21:11,584
- Yes?
- It's me.
251
00:21:12,335 --> 00:21:16,464
- Do you have the security protocols?
- Yes. Where do you want to meet?
252
00:21:16,631 --> 00:21:20,218
- Are you sure you're not under surveillance?
- Of course.
253
00:21:20,385 --> 00:21:24,013
- Do you think I'd be calling you otherwise?
- I can't allow another mistake
254
00:21:24,180 --> 00:21:26,599
to disrupt my plans
for the remaining two devices.
255
00:21:26,766 --> 00:21:30,770
- Do you want the protocols or not?
- Where are you right now?
256
00:21:30,937 --> 00:21:32,438
Culver City.
257
00:21:32,814 --> 00:21:35,274
Meet me at the Santa Monica pier
in ten minutes.
258
00:21:36,776 --> 00:21:39,821
- It may take me more time.
- I won't wait.
259
00:21:39,988 --> 00:21:42,991
- Where do I find you?
- Just be there.
260
00:21:43,157 --> 00:21:45,243
I'll find you.
261
00:21:48,955 --> 00:21:53,042
Give him the phone. Bill, how long will it take
Doyle's team to make it to the pier?
262
00:21:53,209 --> 00:21:56,045
- He's about 30 minutes out.
- We'll make do with Ryan's team.
263
00:21:56,212 --> 00:21:58,256
Put him in the vehicle.
264
00:22:04,762 --> 00:22:07,098
Instructions from the Supreme Court.
265
00:22:07,265 --> 00:22:10,727
Our arguments have to be submitted
in writing in the next ten minutes.
266
00:22:10,893 --> 00:22:14,981
Sandra's working on our brief.
How's it coming?
267
00:22:15,148 --> 00:22:17,734
I'm just about finished.
268
00:22:17,900 --> 00:22:22,613
We have a strong case. You resigned, and
Daniels was in charge when you returned.
269
00:22:22,780 --> 00:22:26,242
So the legal question is,
did he consent to your reinstatement?
270
00:22:26,409 --> 00:22:27,702
Of course he did.
271
00:22:27,869 --> 00:22:31,831
And he made no objections
when you returned to the bunker,
272
00:22:31,998 --> 00:22:34,167
and he never questioned
your right to be there?
273
00:22:34,333 --> 00:22:36,669
No, he didn't.
274
00:22:36,836 --> 00:22:39,464
His own actions prove our case.
275
00:22:39,630 --> 00:22:43,217
Thank you. For everything, Sandra.
276
00:22:47,638 --> 00:22:53,019
My affidavit explains everything - that
I never really intended to reinstate Karen,
277
00:22:53,186 --> 00:22:55,271
letting her perform her duties temporarily,
278
00:22:55,438 --> 00:23:00,568
therefore she had no authority
to cast a vote under the 25th Amendment.
279
00:23:00,735 --> 00:23:05,156
Problem is, after she returned, you treated her
as if she still were national security advisor.
280
00:23:05,323 --> 00:23:07,784
It's a question
of my state of mind, though, isn't it?
281
00:23:07,950 --> 00:23:13,331
Yes. And your state of mind
will be inferred from your actions.
282
00:23:14,916 --> 00:23:20,004
Doesn't sound like you think
our chances are very good.
283
00:23:20,171 --> 00:23:21,756
I don't.
284
00:23:22,924 --> 00:23:27,345
Then I am deeply afraid for our country.
285
00:23:30,306 --> 00:23:34,519
When the world sees that Wayne Palmer
isn't willing to fight back,
286
00:23:34,685 --> 00:23:39,565
our enemies will be encouraged, these
recent attacks will be just the beginning.
287
00:23:39,732 --> 00:23:44,445
America will be vulnerable
in a way it never has been.
288
00:23:47,240 --> 00:23:49,534
There may be a way
289
00:23:49,700 --> 00:23:54,747
to illuminate your state of mind
more explicitly.
290
00:24:02,797 --> 00:24:07,176
I can swear an affidavit that earlier today
you told me to inform Karen Hayes
291
00:24:07,343 --> 00:24:11,055
you had no intention of reinstating her,
but you'd let her perform her duties
292
00:24:11,222 --> 00:24:13,307
on a temporary basis only.
293
00:24:13,474 --> 00:24:19,147
Then Wayne regained consciousness before
I could have that conversation with her.
294
00:24:19,313 --> 00:24:22,358
You'd be perjuring yourself
in front of the Supreme Court.
295
00:24:22,525 --> 00:24:24,986
I'm aware that it's perjury.
296
00:24:26,654 --> 00:24:29,448
But the end justifies the means.
297
00:24:31,075 --> 00:24:34,537
My affidavit will push the court
to rule in your favor so that you can do
298
00:24:34,704 --> 00:24:37,331
what's right for this country.
299
00:24:41,961 --> 00:24:44,046
You're right.
300
00:24:47,216 --> 00:24:49,427
Do it.
301
00:24:49,594 --> 00:24:51,721
Prepare your affidavit.
302
00:24:58,311 --> 00:25:00,354
And, Lisa...
303
00:25:02,273 --> 00:25:04,317
Thank you.
304
00:25:07,195 --> 00:25:08,446
Yes, sir.
305
00:25:26,214 --> 00:25:28,299
Hasim, Hasan, with me.
306
00:25:30,843 --> 00:25:33,763
I'm meeting Gredenko.
I'll be back within the hour.
307
00:25:33,930 --> 00:25:36,015
And if you're not?
308
00:25:38,601 --> 00:25:43,481
Are you worried for me, Halil?
Or just anxious to take my place?
309
00:25:43,648 --> 00:25:47,652
I think we're wasting time. We have
the bombs. We should use them right now.
310
00:25:47,818 --> 00:25:51,822
Gredenko's information will enable us to
inflict damage across half of California.
311
00:25:51,989 --> 00:25:55,493
There's other targets out there
will result in large amount of casualty
312
00:25:55,660 --> 00:26:00,539
- without the additional risk.
- I've made my decision.
313
00:26:05,920 --> 00:26:08,005
Let's go.
314
00:26:19,392 --> 00:26:21,477
Come in.
315
00:26:25,147 --> 00:26:29,402
Mr. Vice President,
I need to speak with you alone.
316
00:26:40,913 --> 00:26:45,668
There is something in this room
you need to know about, sir.
317
00:26:45,835 --> 00:26:50,423
"Something in this room"?
What are you talking about?
318
00:26:52,133 --> 00:26:56,387
This small object here
is a microtransmitter.
319
00:26:58,389 --> 00:27:04,020
After you directed me to lie to the
ambassador about the assassination attempt,
320
00:27:04,186 --> 00:27:06,689
I decided it was time to protect myself.
321
00:27:06,856 --> 00:27:10,609
Now it turns out I was
protecting the country as well.
322
00:27:10,776 --> 00:27:12,820
Be careful, Tom.
323
00:27:13,571 --> 00:27:16,907
Be very careful what you try to do here.
324
00:27:17,074 --> 00:27:21,996
Actually, sir, you are the one
who needs to be careful here.
325
00:27:22,163 --> 00:27:27,668
I'm aware that it's perjury.
But the end justifies the means.
326
00:27:27,835 --> 00:27:31,672
My affidavit will push the court
to rule in your favor so that you can do
327
00:27:31,839 --> 00:27:35,843
- what's right for this country.
- You're right.
328
00:27:36,010 --> 00:27:38,512
Do it. Prepare your affidavit.
329
00:27:38,679 --> 00:27:40,765
Turn it off.
330
00:27:42,725 --> 00:27:45,102
As I'm sure you're aware, sir,
331
00:27:45,269 --> 00:27:48,898
conspiracy to commit perjury
is a felony offence.
332
00:27:49,065 --> 00:27:54,362
Now, I strongly urge you to pick up
that phone and call the Supreme Court.
333
00:27:54,528 --> 00:27:58,991
You tell them that you have withdrawn
your affidavit and that of Miss Miller as well.
334
00:27:59,158 --> 00:28:01,577
Tell them you support
the vote of the Cabinet,
335
00:28:01,744 --> 00:28:06,707
that you have no further objections to
President Palmer continuing his presidency.
336
00:28:06,874 --> 00:28:11,337
You do understand that I'm just
trying to do what's right for this country.
337
00:28:11,504 --> 00:28:13,506
Well, so am I, sir.
338
00:28:19,970 --> 00:28:23,391
Are you going to make that call now, sir?
339
00:28:38,197 --> 00:28:42,076
Karen, I need the launch protocols
the joint chiefs set up with Daniels,
340
00:28:42,243 --> 00:28:45,579
- and chain-of-command signing.
- They just came from the Pentagon.
341
00:28:45,746 --> 00:28:51,168
Everything is in place. If the court sides with
you, you can cancel the strike permanently.
342
00:28:51,335 --> 00:28:55,089
I also want an update on the situation
with Fayed. Has CTU made any progress?
343
00:28:55,256 --> 00:28:57,758
Yes, they have Gredenko in custody.
344
00:28:57,925 --> 00:29:00,761
Bill said they were gonna use him
to lure Fayed out in the open.
345
00:29:00,928 --> 00:29:03,180
- Who's running it?
- Jack Bauer.
346
00:29:03,347 --> 00:29:06,517
- Good.
- Wayne. The Supreme Court was just notified
347
00:29:06,684 --> 00:29:08,978
Daniels withdrew his suit.
348
00:29:09,145 --> 00:29:10,646
- What?
- It's over.
349
00:29:10,813 --> 00:29:15,109
He gave up before the court
had a chance to make its decision.
350
00:29:15,276 --> 00:29:16,735
- Why?
- I don't know.
351
00:29:16,902 --> 00:29:21,699
I just know that you're still
the President of the United States.
352
00:29:27,580 --> 00:29:32,668
Let the Cabinet know I won't take any action
against those who sided with Daniels.
353
00:29:32,835 --> 00:29:34,670
Yes, sir.
354
00:29:34,837 --> 00:29:41,093
Oh, and Karen? Tell Bill I want him
to keep me up to date on CTU's progress.
355
00:29:52,354 --> 00:29:55,149
- Yes, sir?
- Melinda...
356
00:29:55,316 --> 00:29:57,902
- Tell Dr. Welton I need to see him, please.
- Certainly.
357
00:29:59,361 --> 00:30:03,365
I don't have a visual yet, but Fayed won't
show himself until he sees Gredenko.
358
00:30:03,532 --> 00:30:07,495
- Ryan, what's your status with Gredenko?
- I've got the audio transmitter set up.
359
00:30:07,661 --> 00:30:09,914
Preparing the tracker now.
360
00:30:10,080 --> 00:30:12,124
Roll up your left sleeve.
361
00:30:12,291 --> 00:30:16,337
- What's his range?
- We can track up to 15 miles.
362
00:30:16,504 --> 00:30:18,547
Copy that.
363
00:30:20,299 --> 00:30:22,301
- Is it radioactive?
- Yes.
364
00:30:24,261 --> 00:30:27,598
It penetrates into the bone.
It's got a half-life of about 11 hours,
365
00:30:27,765 --> 00:30:30,100
so forget about digging it out
or making a run for it.
366
00:30:30,267 --> 00:30:33,604
- He's good to go.
- Bill, how far out is Doyle's team?
367
00:30:33,771 --> 00:30:36,065
- About 20 minutes.
- We can't wait.
368
00:30:36,232 --> 00:30:41,111
Fayed was clear about his time line.
Ryan, send in Gredenko.
369
00:30:41,278 --> 00:30:43,322
Gredenko's moving now.
370
00:30:53,207 --> 00:30:57,419
I'm getting a clean audio signal
from the transmitter on Gredenko.
371
00:30:57,586 --> 00:31:04,927
And we are locked on the isotope signature
that's being emitted from Gredenko's arm.
372
00:31:40,045 --> 00:31:41,422
Hello?
373
00:31:42,047 --> 00:31:43,132
Hello?
374
00:31:43,299 --> 00:31:50,139
I have the gain on Gredenko's transmitter up
all the way. There's no one on the other end.
375
00:31:51,599 --> 00:31:54,727
He's reading something off his phone.
It's a text message.
376
00:31:54,893 --> 00:32:00,983
Fayed's made contact. Everyone get ready.
Gredenko is heading south.
377
00:32:01,150 --> 00:32:04,028
I'm moving in.
378
00:32:04,194 --> 00:32:09,366
- Milo, have you got him on the tracker?
- Yeah. He's still moving.
379
00:32:09,533 --> 00:32:12,786
I'm heading in. I'm gonna follow him.
380
00:33:14,306 --> 00:33:17,893
I've lost audio signal.
I'm going to secondary channel.
381
00:33:18,060 --> 00:33:22,398
- There's no audio on the secondary channel.
- But he hasn't moved.
382
00:33:25,109 --> 00:33:27,861
I don't like it. Something's wrong.
383
00:33:28,028 --> 00:33:31,573
- You led them to me.
- I had no choice.
384
00:33:32,991 --> 00:33:37,955
But if you listen to me,
we'll both get away from here alive.
385
00:33:38,789 --> 00:33:40,874
Hasim.
386
00:33:55,848 --> 00:33:58,892
Which direction, Milo?
I'm nearing the south end of the pier.
387
00:33:59,059 --> 00:34:04,356
That's where he stopped
and entered the building on the left.
388
00:34:17,286 --> 00:34:22,916
- Is he still inside the room?
- Yes. He's right on the other side of the door.
389
00:34:23,083 --> 00:34:25,127
I'm going in.
390
00:34:28,589 --> 00:34:30,924
Milo, no one's in here.
391
00:34:31,091 --> 00:34:37,639
Jack, the tracker's showing the signal
right there in the room with you.
392
00:34:46,273 --> 00:34:48,192
My God!
393
00:34:48,358 --> 00:34:53,113
They cut off Gredenko's arm!
Ryan, move your men in now!
394
00:34:56,033 --> 00:35:00,037
Hold on. I've picked up his blood trail.
395
00:35:01,747 --> 00:35:07,169
Fayed, their men will be coming
from the west side parking lot.
396
00:35:07,753 --> 00:35:09,838
We should go this way.
397
00:35:11,590 --> 00:35:14,885
Ryan, circle back to the east side of the pier.
Try and cut 'em off.
398
00:35:15,052 --> 00:35:16,720
I want Fayed alive.
399
00:35:32,402 --> 00:35:34,279
- Ryan, you got anything?
- Negative.
400
00:35:34,446 --> 00:35:36,365
- How far out is Doyle's team?
- 20 minutes.
401
00:35:36,532 --> 00:35:39,785
Have him set up a perimeter
as soon as he gets here.
402
00:35:54,007 --> 00:35:58,720
- Ryan, where are you? I'm pinned down.
- Moving towards you now.
403
00:36:03,767 --> 00:36:06,103
Show me your head.
404
00:36:18,323 --> 00:36:22,661
The same terrorist cell is most likely
responsible for the explosion in Valencia...
405
00:36:22,828 --> 00:36:24,329
- We're trapped.
- This way.
406
00:36:24,496 --> 00:36:27,791
..and the assassination attempt
on President Palmer.
407
00:36:27,958 --> 00:36:30,377
- That's him!
- What?
408
00:36:30,544 --> 00:36:35,507
I recognize him from the news!
It's the terrorist they're looking for!
409
00:36:35,674 --> 00:36:39,136
- Terrorist?
- That is him.
410
00:36:39,303 --> 00:36:41,471
You bastard.
411
00:36:54,651 --> 00:36:56,570
Federal agent!
412
00:36:56,737 --> 00:37:01,158
I am a federal agent. I'm taking this man
into custody. Now back off!
413
00:37:01,325 --> 00:37:03,327
- Back off!
- He shot my friend.
414
00:37:03,493 --> 00:37:06,204
We'll get him medical attention.
Just stay back.
415
00:37:06,371 --> 00:37:09,541
- I hope your friend is dead.
- Shut up!
416
00:37:09,708 --> 00:37:12,169
Everybody out of the bar now! Move!
417
00:37:13,378 --> 00:37:17,549
Ryan, this is Jack. Gredenko is not here.
Lock down the area, initiate a search.
418
00:37:17,716 --> 00:37:21,345
We have two men down. One is a civilian,
the other is Fayed. He's in custody.
419
00:37:21,511 --> 00:37:25,432
- I need medical up here now.
- All right, Jack. Good work.
420
00:37:25,599 --> 00:37:28,727
Nadia, get me the president, please.
421
00:37:34,399 --> 00:37:39,029
I understand you're weak. More Adrenalin
will raise your blood pressure even higher,
422
00:37:39,196 --> 00:37:41,281
to the point where we know
there'll be vascular damage.
423
00:37:41,448 --> 00:37:44,743
- That's a risk I'm willing to take.
- Your wellbeing is my responsibility.
424
00:37:44,910 --> 00:37:48,664
And my responsibility
is the wellbeing of this country,
425
00:37:48,830 --> 00:37:54,670
so give me another dose
or I will find someone else who will.
426
00:38:06,223 --> 00:38:10,102
Mr. President? Bill Buchanan on line one.
427
00:38:10,602 --> 00:38:12,688
I'll take it.
428
00:38:18,276 --> 00:38:20,445
Thank you, Arthur.
429
00:38:20,612 --> 00:38:22,447
Yes, sir.
430
00:38:32,457 --> 00:38:34,501
- Bill?
- I'm calling to tell you
431
00:38:34,668 --> 00:38:37,546
- that Jack has Fayed in custody.
- What about the bombs?
432
00:38:37,713 --> 00:38:42,426
We haven't finished the scan yet. We can't
confirm the bombs are in the vicinity.
433
00:38:42,592 --> 00:38:45,220
Jack is going to interrogate Fayed
as soon as possible.
434
00:38:45,387 --> 00:38:48,515
There's no way of knowing
how successful that will be, right?
435
00:38:48,682 --> 00:38:52,436
- No, sir.
- All right, Bill. That's what I wanted to know.
436
00:38:52,602 --> 00:38:54,646
Thank you, sir.
437
00:39:50,994 --> 00:39:54,539
The case was withdrawn. The court
has no reason to retain the documents.
438
00:39:54,706 --> 00:40:00,796
They should be sealed and returned to me
immediately. Good. Thank you.
439
00:40:03,715 --> 00:40:08,261
I was thinking that maybe
it's time to declare a truce.
440
00:40:10,013 --> 00:40:12,349
OK. Well, maybe it is.
441
00:40:12,516 --> 00:40:17,020
I know we both want the same thing
for this country, what's good for the country.
442
00:40:17,187 --> 00:40:20,190
We just don't always agree on the means.
443
00:40:20,357 --> 00:40:26,404
I would love to go forward
without the threats and the intimidation.
444
00:40:27,906 --> 00:40:29,241
Done.
445
00:40:30,367 --> 00:40:32,536
Good. One more thing.
446
00:40:32,702 --> 00:40:37,499
Do you know why the vice president
withdrew his suit from the Supreme Court?
447
00:40:37,666 --> 00:40:39,793
No. I've no idea. Why?
448
00:40:39,960 --> 00:40:43,964
One of my aides saw you with him
before it was announced.
449
00:40:44,131 --> 00:40:48,301
I guess just put this down
to happy coincidence.
450
00:40:48,468 --> 00:40:51,847
For now. But someday
I'd love to know the real story.
451
00:40:52,013 --> 00:40:53,890
OK. Someday.
452
00:40:54,057 --> 00:40:56,101
Lennox.
453
00:40:59,980 --> 00:41:04,860
He... This cannot be.
This has gotta be some mistake.
454
00:41:05,026 --> 00:41:06,444
I'm on my way.
455
00:41:06,611 --> 00:41:08,947
- President Palmer.
- What?
456
00:41:09,823 --> 00:41:13,785
He's about to go ahead
with the nuclear strike.
457
00:41:16,663 --> 00:41:17,914
Mr. President?
458
00:41:20,584 --> 00:41:24,754
If I may, sir. I understand
you're about to launch the very strike
459
00:41:24,921 --> 00:41:27,716
we just prevented Vice President Daniels
from launching.
460
00:41:27,883 --> 00:41:31,011
- That's right.
- This makes no sense, sir.
461
00:41:31,178 --> 00:41:37,559
- It's what you risked your life to stop!
- I risked my life to reassert my authority.
462
00:41:37,726 --> 00:41:41,271
Vice President Daniels calling me weak.
Even you thought the same thing.
463
00:41:41,438 --> 00:41:45,358
I implore you, sir, do not mistake
being reckless with being strong.
464
00:41:45,525 --> 00:41:48,320
- I am done talking.
- Mr. President.
465
00:41:49,654 --> 00:41:52,240
- We have a successful launch.
- Good.
