1
00:00:14,328 --> 00:00:15,788
Let me speak to Audrey.
2
00:00:15,955 --> 00:00:19,542
Her wellbeing is entirely up to you,
Mr. Bauer.
3
00:00:19,709 --> 00:00:23,421
What we want is the component
from the triggering mechanism.
4
00:00:23,587 --> 00:00:25,589
The FB-sub-circuit board.
5
00:00:25,756 --> 00:00:28,926
You give me the component,
I give you Audrey.
6
00:00:32,596 --> 00:00:33,931
- Stand down, Jack!
- I can't.
7
00:00:34,098 --> 00:00:38,060
- I won't say it again. Drop it!
- Agent Doyle, I am following orders...
8
00:00:38,227 --> 00:00:40,479
Take him out!
9
00:00:41,063 --> 00:00:46,694
It's my understanding, Jack, that component
holds the key to Russian defense codes.
10
00:00:46,861 --> 00:00:50,281
The Chinese need to believe
I will go through with this exchange.
11
00:00:50,448 --> 00:00:53,659
I will destroy that circuit board
with a concealed charge of C4.
12
00:00:53,826 --> 00:00:56,328
- You'll sacrifice yourself?
- If I have to.
13
00:00:56,537 --> 00:01:00,332
You're asking me
to sign off on a suicide mission.
14
00:01:00,499 --> 00:01:04,420
Mr. President, you owe me.
15
00:01:04,879 --> 00:01:08,215
I want you to help me retrieve
one of those circuit boards.
16
00:01:08,382 --> 00:01:09,550
I'm sending it.
17
00:01:09,717 --> 00:01:12,720
The Russians have kept that
out of Chinese hands for years.
18
00:01:12,887 --> 00:01:15,306
- I did it for Jack.
- What will the Russians say
19
00:01:15,473 --> 00:01:17,099
when they find we gave it to them?
20
00:01:17,349 --> 00:01:20,394
- It's not gonna get that far.
- You have to tell Buchanan.
21
00:01:20,561 --> 00:01:22,646
Chloe, I want you to stand down on this.
22
00:01:22,813 --> 00:01:25,024
You've shown me I can't trust you.
23
00:01:25,191 --> 00:01:27,401
First, I wanna say
that I am grateful to report
24
00:01:27,568 --> 00:01:30,029
that all nuclear devices
have been recovered.
25
00:01:30,196 --> 00:01:33,157
Based on the intelligence,
I can say with full confidence
26
00:01:33,324 --> 00:01:35,201
that... that... that we will...
27
00:01:37,578 --> 00:01:39,663
Call Medical right away.
28
00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:45,085
Notify the Senate. Have the SecDef
and the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs
29
00:01:45,252 --> 00:01:48,005
authorize me under the 25th Amendment.
30
00:01:48,172 --> 00:01:49,799
Wayne Palmer issued a finding
31
00:01:49,965 --> 00:01:54,094
allowing Jack Bauer to hand
Russian technology over to the Chinese
32
00:01:54,261 --> 00:01:57,223
in exchange
for the return of a covertly held hostage.
33
00:01:57,389 --> 00:02:02,311
Bauer has guaranteed that the technology
will not fall into the hands of the Chinese.
34
00:02:02,478 --> 00:02:05,523
Even Jack Bauer
can't guarantee that outcome.
35
00:02:05,689 --> 00:02:07,733
Tell CTU to stop Bauer.
36
00:02:09,109 --> 00:02:11,779
CTU has the signal.
They're monitoring the device.
37
00:02:11,946 --> 00:02:13,322
We're set. Let's go.
38
00:02:15,324 --> 00:02:16,826
Doyle.
39
00:02:16,992 --> 00:02:18,994
Noah Daniels is acting president.
40
00:02:19,161 --> 00:02:22,414
He wants the operation shut down
and Jack brought back to CTU.
41
00:02:22,581 --> 00:02:23,624
Understood.
42
00:02:24,458 --> 00:02:26,961
- Don't you move.
- Jack...
43
00:02:27,127 --> 00:02:29,964
Slowly, I want you to pull over.
44
00:02:30,130 --> 00:02:31,131
Now.
45
00:02:31,298 --> 00:02:36,262
This is gonna end badly, Jack.
You can't go against the White House!
46
00:02:49,817 --> 00:02:52,528
Wait! Wait! Stop! Stop!
47
00:02:53,070 --> 00:02:55,072
Stop! Stop!
48
00:02:55,781 --> 00:02:59,118
Wait, wait, stop the car! Stop!
49
00:02:59,285 --> 00:03:01,120
Stop!
50
00:03:02,037 --> 00:03:03,497
Stop! Stop!
51
00:03:03,747 --> 00:03:05,875
What the hell? Are you crazy?
52
00:03:06,041 --> 00:03:10,170
- I'm a federal agent. I need the vehicle.
- Where's your badge?
53
00:03:28,188 --> 00:03:31,442
- Pressman.
- It's Doyle. I need to speak with Buchanan.
54
00:03:31,609 --> 00:03:35,571
Hold on. Sir, Doyle's on line one.
55
00:03:37,865 --> 00:03:39,825
Mike, do you have Jack in custody?
56
00:03:39,992 --> 00:03:43,245
No. He got the drop on me
before I could get the component.
57
00:03:43,412 --> 00:03:45,789
- Where are you?
- In a vehicle in pursuit.
58
00:03:45,956 --> 00:03:48,876
- Morris, do you have Jack's position?
- Yeah.
59
00:03:49,043 --> 00:03:51,170
- Heading north on the 180.
- Copy that.
60
00:03:51,337 --> 00:03:56,425
- Mike, Jack's gonna disengage that tracker.
- I'll get him before he does.
61
00:03:56,592 --> 00:03:59,595
All right, listen up.
Jack Bauer's gone rogue.
62
00:03:59,762 --> 00:04:03,849
He has in his possession the FB-sub-circuit
board. Mike Doyle is in pursuit.
63
00:04:04,016 --> 00:04:10,689
He needs all available resources to stop Jack
before he gives it to the Chinese.
64
00:04:10,856 --> 00:04:12,232
Chloe.
65
00:04:12,441 --> 00:04:14,568
- I need you on task.
- You said...
66
00:04:14,735 --> 00:04:16,403
I know what I said.
67
00:04:16,654 --> 00:04:19,531
I need my best people looking for Jack.
68
00:04:19,740 --> 00:04:22,701
Can I trust you to help me do that?
69
00:04:22,910 --> 00:04:25,162
- Yes, sir.
- Good. Thank you.
70
00:04:37,091 --> 00:04:40,135
That's bloody marvelous.
I just lost Jack's signal.
71
00:04:40,302 --> 00:04:44,848
- How'd you do that?
- I didn't do anything. It just disappeared.
72
00:05:14,128 --> 00:05:19,675
- There must be something in the transit path.
- You don't have to state the obvious, Chloe.
73
00:05:19,842 --> 00:05:21,844
This doesn't have to be personal.
74
00:05:22,011 --> 00:05:26,306
It's not personal. This road runs along
the main voltage feed for the valley.
75
00:05:26,515 --> 00:05:31,186
Jack is using the power lines as a shield
while he separates the tracker from the board.
76
00:05:31,353 --> 00:05:34,023
Can you keep an eye on things? Can you?
77
00:05:34,189 --> 00:05:37,151
I have to explain this to Buchanan.
78
00:05:43,657 --> 00:05:46,076
Hey, I thought you got sidelined.
79
00:05:46,326 --> 00:05:50,664
Buchanan wants me to help find Jack.
Now he's dumped the tracker.
80
00:05:50,831 --> 00:05:53,250
- Did you pull up Caltrans?
- Yeah.
81
00:05:53,417 --> 00:05:56,712
I can't believe Jack would give
the board to the Chinese.
82
00:05:56,879 --> 00:05:59,339
Jack would die before
he gives up that component.
83
00:05:59,506 --> 00:06:04,511
I agree with you. The question is,
would Jack give up Audrey's life?
84
00:06:07,431 --> 00:06:09,808
Exactly.
85
00:06:09,975 --> 00:06:15,564
Look, uh, I'll check the satellites, see if
they've restored any coverage in that area.
86
00:06:15,731 --> 00:06:19,568
If you find anything,
send it to me, Doyle and LAPD.
87
00:06:19,735 --> 00:06:22,905
- How much farther?
- We lost Jack eight miles north of you.
88
00:06:23,072 --> 00:06:26,575
He used the power lines as a shield
while he removed the tracker.
89
00:06:26,742 --> 00:06:30,412
- See if you can pick up a trail.
- I'll call you back when I get closer.
90
00:06:30,579 --> 00:06:33,540
- Thank you, Morris.
- All right.
91
00:06:33,874 --> 00:06:38,420
I have a brief statement and I will not
be taking any questions at this time.
92
00:06:38,587 --> 00:06:43,008
The president is en route to Bethesda
Naval Hospital and will arrive shortly.
93
00:06:43,175 --> 00:06:48,388
The doctors have no idea whether or not
President Palmer will come out of this coma.
94
00:06:48,555 --> 00:06:54,686
Vice President Daniels will be addressing
the country at 9am Eastern time. Thank you.
95
00:06:56,355 --> 00:06:58,440
That's all, everyone.
96
00:06:59,733 --> 00:07:02,611
- Tom.
- Yes, sir.
97
00:07:02,778 --> 00:07:07,199
- Stick around. I wanna talk to you.
- All right, sir.
98
00:07:10,577 --> 00:07:14,039
We need to clear the air, you and I.
99
00:07:14,206 --> 00:07:20,170
You still have evidence that could hurt me,
and I'd like to know what your intentions are.
100
00:07:20,337 --> 00:07:23,715
Truthfully, sir,
I haven't given it much thought.
101
00:07:23,882 --> 00:07:26,593
Why don't you think about it now?
102
00:07:27,511 --> 00:07:29,138
All right, sir.
103
00:07:29,304 --> 00:07:33,642
It concerns me that you engaged
in conspiracy and perjury
104
00:07:33,809 --> 00:07:35,853
to achieve political ends.
105
00:07:36,019 --> 00:07:41,191
I don't think that's behavior befitting
the acting President of the United States.
106
00:07:41,358 --> 00:07:42,651
Tom,
107
00:07:42,818 --> 00:07:46,530
the world has changed
in the last half-hour.
108
00:07:46,697 --> 00:07:50,576
Right now this country
above all needs stability.
109
00:07:50,742 --> 00:07:55,789
If I'm brought up on charges, then
America's left without elected leadership.
110
00:07:55,956 --> 00:08:01,962
Sir, I made that tape both to back you off
your challenge to President Palmer,
111
00:08:02,129 --> 00:08:04,548
but also to protect me.
112
00:08:04,715 --> 00:08:08,510
Now, that was and remains my only reason.
113
00:08:08,677 --> 00:08:14,975
- What about forcing my resignation?
- That was Wayne Palmer's idea, not mine.
114
00:08:15,142 --> 00:08:17,144
So
115
00:08:18,729 --> 00:08:21,648
you're OK, then, with me in this chair?
116
00:08:24,109 --> 00:08:28,739
Sir, it's no secret that policywise
you and I are in alignment.
117
00:08:28,989 --> 00:08:31,825
I just simply hate how we got here.
118
00:08:32,492 --> 00:08:35,495
Now that we are here...
119
00:08:37,080 --> 00:08:40,167
Yes, sir. You have my support.
120
00:08:45,422 --> 00:08:49,426
In the event that we ever get out of alignment,
121
00:08:50,844 --> 00:08:53,513
I can't have you
holding this evidence over my head.
122
00:08:53,680 --> 00:08:57,517
That's understood, sir. You have my word.
123
00:08:57,684 --> 00:09:00,020
All right, Tom.
124
00:09:00,229 --> 00:09:02,522
Glad to have you with me.
125
00:09:03,815 --> 00:09:08,195
Now, what do you suggest we do with
Karen Hayes? Will she slow us down?
126
00:09:08,862 --> 00:09:14,117
Well, of course she might, but she is smart.
She brings balance.
127
00:09:15,577 --> 00:09:17,621
Fine, then she stays.
128
00:09:17,788 --> 00:09:20,540
- May I let her know, sir?
- Sure.
129
00:09:21,541 --> 00:09:23,627
Tom.
130
00:09:24,461 --> 00:09:26,880
- Thank you.
- Thank you, sir.
131
00:09:36,014 --> 00:09:36,765
Yes?
132
00:09:36,932 --> 00:09:40,269
I just passed mile marker 49.
I have the sub-circuit board.
133
00:09:40,435 --> 00:09:42,562
Good. Go east on the 118...
134
00:09:42,729 --> 00:09:46,191
No. From this point forward
we do this my way.
135
00:09:46,358 --> 00:09:48,151
Don't test me, Mr. Bauer.
136
00:09:48,318 --> 00:09:52,531
Yes, I want the component,
but Audrey Raines' life means nothing to me.
137
00:09:52,698 --> 00:09:56,076
Listen. CTU is looking for me.
They want to stop the exchange.
138
00:09:56,243 --> 00:10:00,914
I know their satellite coverage.
I need to pick the location.
139
00:10:01,081 --> 00:10:03,583
All right. Where?
140
00:10:04,209 --> 00:10:07,671
There's an abandoned motel
called the Calderone off highway 305.
141
00:10:07,838 --> 00:10:13,302
Come through the front door alone.
We'll make the exchange there.
142
00:10:13,468 --> 00:10:16,555
We both have a chance to get
what we want here, Mr. Bauer.
143
00:10:16,722 --> 00:10:19,641
Don't attempt anything foolish.
144
00:10:21,685 --> 00:10:24,062
We're leaving now, Ms Raines.
145
00:10:51,506 --> 00:10:56,470
I spoke with Bill and he assures me that CTU
has deployed all its resources to find Bauer.
146
00:10:56,636 --> 00:11:02,225
I don't wanna hear about their assurances,
Karen. They let Bauer steal the component.
147
00:11:02,392 --> 00:11:07,606
Well, if I may, sir, I could authorize
ancillary agencies to join the search.
148
00:11:07,773 --> 00:11:10,317
That would increase
our chances of finding Bauer.
149
00:11:10,484 --> 00:11:12,527
Do it.
150
00:11:22,162 --> 00:11:25,791
Is there anything else you need from me?
151
00:11:25,957 --> 00:11:29,878
Is there anything else I need from you?
Let me think.
152
00:11:34,299 --> 00:11:38,512
I have the fate of the West,
the lives of millions hanging in the balance
153
00:11:38,804 --> 00:11:43,517
and I can't stop thinking about you.
154
00:11:44,518 --> 00:11:50,190
I'm not sure this is appropriate behavior,
Mr. Acting President.
155
00:11:50,357 --> 00:11:53,110
Well, there's the phone. Call the media.
156
00:11:53,360 --> 00:11:57,572
Tell them the acting president's
a dirty old man.
157
00:11:57,739 --> 00:11:59,825
They already know.
158
00:12:17,384 --> 00:12:19,845
I would like for you to
159
00:12:20,887 --> 00:12:23,223
spend what's left of the night.
160
00:12:27,144 --> 00:12:30,939
I'll go home and pick up a change of clothes.
161
00:12:31,106 --> 00:12:33,066
Good.
162
00:12:51,418 --> 00:12:56,548
- I'm at the Tampa exit by the power lines.
- You match the last coordinates Morris had.
163
00:12:56,715 --> 00:13:01,136
The White House is telling me if the Chinese
get a hold of this sub-circuit board
164
00:13:01,303 --> 00:13:03,388
we'll have an international incident.
165
00:13:03,555 --> 00:13:07,601
- I know the stakes, Bill.
- Have you figured out where Jack's headed?
166
00:13:07,767 --> 00:13:10,228
I'm working on it now.
167
00:13:18,195 --> 00:13:22,032
It looks like he headed east. What's up ahead?
168
00:13:22,199 --> 00:13:26,620
- Two steep routes, the 305 and the 98.
- Do you have satellite on both?
169
00:13:26,786 --> 00:13:31,875
No. The radiation made the area hard to cover.
The 98 has Caltrans cameras. I'll check them.
170
00:13:32,042 --> 00:13:35,295
No, don't bother. Jack would know
about those. He's on the 305.
171
00:13:35,545 --> 00:13:39,466
Check the cell towers. See if you can pick up
a call between Jack and Cheng.
172
00:13:39,716 --> 00:13:44,638
I think I saw Jack pick up one of
the terrorists' phones at the warehouse.
173
00:13:47,182 --> 00:13:50,185
Chloe's got that grid on her system.
174
00:13:50,352 --> 00:13:53,730
- Who was that?
- Doyle. He thinks Jack's on the 305.
175
00:13:53,897 --> 00:13:55,899
- How did he know?
- He figured it out.
176
00:13:56,066 --> 00:14:01,363
Pull the logs on grid 19-12. Get everything
off that cell tower from the last 15 minutes.
177
00:14:01,613 --> 00:14:05,450
- What am I looking for?
- Jack's using one of the terrorist's phones.
178
00:14:05,617 --> 00:14:09,496
- Check all outgoing calls.
- We'll get it.
179
00:14:11,748 --> 00:14:15,627
- What is this?
- Decryption schemes from the cell towers.
180
00:14:15,794 --> 00:14:20,048
We're looking for a conversation
between Jack and Cheng.
181
00:14:20,215 --> 00:14:24,761
- Why didn't you speak to me first?
- I don't know. That's just the way I did it.
182
00:14:24,928 --> 00:14:27,097
We're being a little hostile, aren't we?
183
00:14:27,264 --> 00:14:30,350
Fine. But I didn't just get there.
You pushed me halfway.
184
00:14:30,517 --> 00:14:32,394
You're right. It's all my fault.
185
00:14:32,561 --> 00:14:37,732
I didn't say it's all your fault. I said halfway.
50%. 0.5. See, you don't listen to me.
186
00:14:37,899 --> 00:14:42,862
- That's why I just sent it to your screen.
- Hey, guys. What's going on?
187
00:14:43,029 --> 00:14:47,909
My ex-wife is suddenly showing signs
of irrational behavior.
188
00:14:48,076 --> 00:14:49,035
OK.
189
00:14:49,202 --> 00:14:52,622
- Do you know how to defrag Huffman keys?
- Yeah. Why?
190
00:14:52,789 --> 00:14:54,708
- Could you help me out?
- Yeah.
191
00:14:54,874 --> 00:14:58,044
Great. I'll just send the files to your system.
192
00:15:00,839 --> 00:15:04,509
That's a really good idea.
You should work with Milo, get cozy.
193
00:15:04,676 --> 00:15:07,596
Would you please stop acting like this?
I hate it.
194
00:15:07,762 --> 00:15:11,433
Why don't you write down the way
you want me to act, put it in a file,
195
00:15:11,600 --> 00:15:15,812
tab-delimited the way Milo loves it,
and shove it?
196
00:15:15,979 --> 00:15:19,941
OK. The first item on the list would be,
"Don't be such a jealous jerk."
197
00:15:20,108 --> 00:15:23,653
The day I'm jealous is the day I kill myself.
Is there anything else?
198
00:15:23,820 --> 00:15:28,575
How about, "Don't arm
nuclear bombs for terrorists"?
199
00:15:31,077 --> 00:15:33,788
Sorry. I didn't mean that.
200
00:15:36,207 --> 00:15:38,918
That's not how I feel.
201
00:15:41,212 --> 00:15:43,715
Yeah, it is.
202
00:15:43,882 --> 00:15:47,510
No, it's not. It just slipped out of my mouth.
203
00:15:47,677 --> 00:15:49,095
Morris!
204
00:15:54,643 --> 00:15:57,646
I'll call the FBI,
get them to share resources with Bill.
205
00:15:57,812 --> 00:15:59,648
Good. I'll...
206
00:15:59,814 --> 00:16:02,776
Excuse me. Yeah.
207
00:16:03,943 --> 00:16:05,820
OK.
208
00:16:05,987 --> 00:16:08,990
Well, tell him I'll be right there.
209
00:16:09,407 --> 00:16:13,078
That's strange. Peter Hock is in my office
and he wants to talk to me.
210
00:16:13,244 --> 00:16:16,498
- Department of Justice? What is that about?
- I have no idea.
211
00:16:16,665 --> 00:16:21,628
- Be careful. He's got a lot of clout on the Hill.
- I know. I'll call you.
212
00:16:27,717 --> 00:16:29,636
Peter.
213
00:16:29,803 --> 00:16:31,930
Early enough for you?
214
00:16:32,097 --> 00:16:34,849
So, what's going on? It sounded urgent.
215
00:16:35,016 --> 00:16:38,561
You know I've been interrogating
Reed Pollock after his arrest.
216
00:16:38,728 --> 00:16:42,107
That must be pleasant.
217
00:16:42,273 --> 00:16:47,112
Pollock's looking at a death sentence for his
part in the assassination attempt on Palmer.
218
00:16:47,320 --> 00:16:51,616
He's offering up everything he knows
hoping we'll show some leniency.
219
00:16:51,783 --> 00:16:56,204
- And what does that have to do with me?
- Not just you. This involves your husband.
220
00:16:56,371 --> 00:16:58,415
Take a look.
221
00:17:03,586 --> 00:17:08,550
Listen to me, Peter. You and I both know
that there are going to be endless hearings
222
00:17:08,717 --> 00:17:13,930
- looking into how Fayed acquired the nukes.
- And you know something about that?
223
00:17:14,097 --> 00:17:18,309
I can give you information that will
keep blame away from this administration.
224
00:17:18,476 --> 00:17:22,188
- I'm listening.
- I'm not saying anything until I have a deal.
225
00:17:22,355 --> 00:17:25,400
- He's such a weasel.
- In writing.
226
00:17:25,567 --> 00:17:30,488
We danced around for 20 minutes,
then he said this.
227
00:17:31,489 --> 00:17:34,743
I'm telling you exactly what happened.
228
00:17:34,909 --> 00:17:38,913
Bill Buchanan had Fayed in custody
229
00:17:39,080 --> 00:17:42,250
- and he let him go.
- And where's the proof?
230
00:17:42,417 --> 00:17:46,421
Karen Hayes put it in a blue file
over at Homeland.
231
00:17:46,588 --> 00:17:50,258
That's a cover-up.
And if you don't believe me,
232
00:17:50,425 --> 00:17:55,930
I have recorded conversations
with Peter Iannone, Kurt Hewig and Myra Mark
233
00:17:56,222 --> 00:18:02,896
and they will all testify that she sequestered
the file to protect her husband.
234
00:18:05,565 --> 00:18:07,650
Do me a favor, Karen.
235
00:18:07,817 --> 00:18:10,111
Save me some time.
236
00:18:10,278 --> 00:18:13,698
- Is it true or not?
- The facts are true.
237
00:18:13,907 --> 00:18:15,950
But there's no cover-up here, Peter.
238
00:18:16,117 --> 00:18:21,456
About two years ago we apprehended Fayed
as part of an FBI-CTU border sweep.
239
00:18:21,623 --> 00:18:24,375
There wasn't enough to hold him.
He was one of many.
240
00:18:24,542 --> 00:18:27,879
- He was maybe a mid-level player.
- That turned out to be wrong.
241
00:18:28,046 --> 00:18:32,217
Fayed wasn't part of a cell or funded.
This all happened after he was released.
242
00:18:32,383 --> 00:18:37,096
- So why was it blue-coded?
- Every year thousands are arrested.
243
00:18:37,263 --> 00:18:42,018
If there isn't enough evidence they're released
and blue-coded. Standard procedure.
244
00:18:42,185 --> 00:18:44,813
The only way to guarantee
no one becomes a threat
245
00:18:44,979 --> 00:18:47,524
is to deprive everyone of their freedom.
246
00:18:47,690 --> 00:18:53,696
All right. If this was a no-fault, why did this
carry so much weight with you 12 hours ago?
247
00:18:53,863 --> 00:18:58,868
- Why resign rather than have this come out?
- Come on, Peter. We were under attack.
248
00:18:59,035 --> 00:19:02,914
I wasn't gonna let this information
touch the president or my husband.
249
00:19:03,081 --> 00:19:08,586
- They needed to lead us through this crisis.
- Well, here we are, 12 hours later.
250
00:19:08,753 --> 00:19:15,176
Palmer's in a coma, the country's in shock
after losing over 13,000 innocent lives
251
00:19:15,426 --> 00:19:19,931
and all people are going to be asking
is who let this happen?
252
00:19:20,098 --> 00:19:22,976
Well, certainly not my husband.
253
00:19:23,935 --> 00:19:26,437
He has devoted his life to this country.
254
00:19:26,604 --> 00:19:30,358
This isn't my call, Karen,
but I think you know how this works.
255
00:19:30,525 --> 00:19:36,573
Someone's going to have to go down,
and the farther from the president, the better.
256
00:19:36,739 --> 00:19:39,158
So what exactly are you saying?
257
00:19:39,868 --> 00:19:42,996
It's going to be either you or Bill.
258
00:19:43,955 --> 00:19:48,293
Bill would be my preference.
He's lower in the food chain.
259
00:19:48,459 --> 00:19:50,545
But you'll do.
260
00:21:33,815 --> 00:21:34,565
Doyle.
261
00:21:34,732 --> 00:21:38,319
We found Jack's call to Cheng.
We haven't decrypted it yet.
262
00:21:38,486 --> 00:21:41,906
The triangulation shows
he's traveling north on the 305.
263
00:21:42,073 --> 00:21:47,120
- Anything between me and Santa Maria?
- Some small populated areas.
264
00:21:47,286 --> 00:21:50,832
- When does the next one come up?
- Nine miles from where you are.
265
00:21:50,999 --> 00:21:55,086
Check it out and work on that decryption.
I wanna know what Cheng and Jack said.
266
00:21:55,253 --> 00:21:57,130
- OK.
- We're converging on Jack?
267
00:21:57,296 --> 00:21:59,966
Yeah. Doyle's...
268
00:22:00,174 --> 00:22:03,678
- Excuse me. Hi.
- Hi, it's me. You have a minute?
269
00:22:03,845 --> 00:22:06,556
No. We're closing in on Jack. What is it?
270
00:22:06,723 --> 00:22:10,435
We have to talk about something.
Call me when you have a few minutes.
271
00:22:10,643 --> 00:22:13,187
OK. Everything all right?
272
00:22:13,354 --> 00:22:16,649
Just do what you have to do
and call me when you can, OK?
273
00:22:16,858 --> 00:22:18,985
- All right.
- Bye.
274
00:22:21,404 --> 00:22:24,657
- Yes?
- Doyle's headed in the right direction.
275
00:22:24,824 --> 00:22:30,371
We may have a chance to stop Jack before he
reaches Cheng. He's going north on the 305.
276
00:22:30,538 --> 00:22:32,373
About there.
277
00:22:36,961 --> 00:22:41,215
Let me call you back.
CTU made any progress in locating Bauer?
278
00:22:41,382 --> 00:22:44,427
They're closing in
but they don't have him in custody yet.
279
00:22:44,594 --> 00:22:48,222
You were right about Hock, Tom.
I need to talk to you.
280
00:22:48,389 --> 00:22:50,224
All right, shoot.
281
00:22:50,391 --> 00:22:54,896
Remember earlier when you threatened to
use that information to damage Bill and me?
282
00:22:55,063 --> 00:22:57,899
Yeah, mea culpa.
Why are we dredging this up now?
283
00:22:58,066 --> 00:23:00,443
No, no, Tom, it's not me.
284
00:23:00,693 --> 00:23:05,406
It's Reed Pollock. He's looking for anything
to bargain his way out of the death penalty.
285
00:23:05,573 --> 00:23:06,866
He can't.
286
00:23:07,033 --> 00:23:09,577
Whether he can or he can't,
that ship has sailed.
287
00:23:09,744 --> 00:23:14,582
Hock knows now that we released Fayed
from our custody two years ago in Seattle.
288
00:23:14,749 --> 00:23:20,004
- OK, OK. What does Hock want?
- Distance from the presidency.
289
00:23:21,798 --> 00:23:26,677
So, in other words,
either you or Bill has to take the blame.
290
00:23:26,844 --> 00:23:29,097
Yeah, but it's more than blame, Tom.
291
00:23:29,263 --> 00:23:33,226
There's gonna be enquiries, indictments.
Lives will be ruined.
292
00:23:33,392 --> 00:23:37,772
Not lives. Careers.
Or rather one career, and it can't be yours.
293
00:23:39,315 --> 00:23:42,902
Well, I can't do that to Bill, Tom.
He's my husband.
294
00:23:43,069 --> 00:23:49,617
Well, he can go on being your husband.
But he sure can't keep running CTU.
295
00:23:49,784 --> 00:23:53,663
- If he goes, I'm gonna resign.
- Haven't you already resigned once today?
296
00:23:53,913 --> 00:23:57,500
That's Bill's signature
on Fayed's release document.
297
00:23:58,126 --> 00:24:00,169
You know, it's over for Bill.
298
00:24:00,336 --> 00:24:05,091
It's not for you.
I mean, you've got a job here. Just do it.
299
00:24:08,553 --> 00:24:12,723
- Tom, how can I ask him to step down?
- You don't ask.
300
00:24:12,890 --> 00:24:18,062
You remind him that the man he let out of jail
killed over 13,000 people this morning.
301
00:24:18,229 --> 00:24:21,524
- Tom, he is not responsible for that!
- It doesn't matter.
302
00:24:21,691 --> 00:24:23,693
- He has been amazing today.
- Look.
303
00:24:23,860 --> 00:24:28,990
The only way for you to protect yourself
is to leave no doubt in anybody's mind
304
00:24:29,157 --> 00:24:30,992
where your true loyalty lies.
305
00:24:31,159 --> 00:24:33,452
They got Bill in their cross hairs, OK?
306
00:24:33,619 --> 00:24:38,833
You wanna stand shoulder to shoulder
with your husband, that's your call.
307
00:25:19,624 --> 00:25:22,877
This is Bill Buchanan.
If your matter is urgent, dial 0.
308
00:25:23,044 --> 00:25:26,964
If this is not an urgent call,
please leave a message at the beep.
309
00:25:27,131 --> 00:25:33,095
It's Jack. I'm about to meet with Cheng and
exchange the sub-circuit board for Audrey.
310
00:25:33,262 --> 00:25:37,725
Hopefully by the time you hear this
she'll be safe and in your custody.
311
00:25:37,892 --> 00:25:41,229
I promised the president
that I would give him confirmation
312
00:25:41,395 --> 00:25:44,398
that the circuit board
did not fall into the wrong hands.
313
00:25:44,565 --> 00:25:47,151
This message is your confirmation.
314
00:25:47,318 --> 00:25:51,239
The circuit board will be incinerated
in the explosion.
315
00:25:51,405 --> 00:25:57,036
The meeting will take place
at the Calderone Hotel off of highway 305.
316
00:25:57,203 --> 00:26:00,039
Bill,
317
00:26:00,206 --> 00:26:02,833
please take care of Audrey.
318
00:26:03,501 --> 00:26:06,254
Thank you.
319
00:26:06,420 --> 00:26:09,382
You've been a good friend.
320
00:26:29,193 --> 00:26:31,988
All right. Yeah.
321
00:26:35,658 --> 00:26:38,119
- Do you have a second?
- What is it, Morris?
322
00:26:42,206 --> 00:26:45,960
- I'd like to request a transfer.
- Why?
323
00:26:46,127 --> 00:26:48,254
I need to get out of Comm.
324
00:26:48,421 --> 00:26:51,799
- You wanna elaborate on that?
- Not really, no.
325
00:26:53,259 --> 00:26:57,555
- You and Chloe having a problem?
- You could say that, yes.
326
00:26:58,431 --> 00:27:02,685
- Can we talk about this in the morning?
- Nothing's gonna change.
327
00:27:02,852 --> 00:27:06,814
- You don't know that, Morris.
- I do. Look, please.
328
00:27:06,981 --> 00:27:13,279
Figure out where you wanna put me.
Anywhere is fine. Just get me out of Comm.
329
00:27:15,156 --> 00:27:21,829
All right. I'll work something out
that is good for everyone involved.
330
00:27:22,705 --> 00:27:24,790
Thank you.
331
00:27:32,548 --> 00:27:37,094
- Hey.
- Did you wanna talk about something?
332
00:27:37,261 --> 00:27:39,096
Bill,
333
00:27:39,263 --> 00:27:44,268
the DOJ investigator found out about when
you and Homeland had Fayed in custody.
334
00:27:44,435 --> 00:27:48,898
It wasn't a secret. We did everything
by the book. I can deal with DOJ.
335
00:27:49,065 --> 00:27:53,319
Yeah, I know, but the problem is
they're out for blood, Bill.
336
00:27:54,362 --> 00:27:56,364
I can't let this touch me.
337
00:27:56,530 --> 00:27:59,200
- Touch you? What are you talking about?
- Bill...
338
00:27:59,367 --> 00:28:03,120
Why is this an issue?
Are you concerned I might implicate you?
339
00:28:03,287 --> 00:28:08,876
- No! But there's guilt by association here.
- They're looking for a scapegoat?
340
00:28:09,043 --> 00:28:12,963
Yes. The press are looking for anything
to attack the administration.
341
00:28:13,130 --> 00:28:15,508
What are you saying?
342
00:28:17,385 --> 00:28:22,973
I have to protect the White House and in order
to do that I have to distance myself from you.
343
00:28:23,140 --> 00:28:27,186
How are you going to do that?
I'm your husband.
344
00:28:31,690 --> 00:28:34,485
Are you asking me to resign?
345
00:28:37,071 --> 00:28:39,156
No, Bill.
346
00:28:42,034 --> 00:28:43,953
I have to fire you.
347
00:28:45,371 --> 00:28:50,084
- Who's pressuring you, Karen?
- Look, this is the only way this can work.
348
00:28:50,251 --> 00:28:53,087
It has to be immediate
or I'll be viewed as complicit
349
00:28:53,254 --> 00:28:56,757
and my ability as national security advisor
will be undermined.
350
00:28:56,924 --> 00:29:00,177
Undermined?
We're talking about the end of my career.
351
00:29:00,386 --> 00:29:03,097
- You don't think I've thought this through?
- No.
352
00:29:03,264 --> 00:29:05,683
You think I don't know what this means?
353
00:29:05,850 --> 00:29:07,685
- No, I don't.
- Bill...
354
00:29:07,852 --> 00:29:11,188
The public will make assumptions
that don't exist.
355
00:29:11,355 --> 00:29:15,443
13,000 American lives lost. I had the man
in custody who was responsible.
356
00:29:15,609 --> 00:29:18,529
I released him.
It won't matter that I had no evidence.
357
00:29:18,696 --> 00:29:22,950
Look, you know how this works. One of us
has to take the fall and it can't be me.
358
00:29:23,117 --> 00:29:26,162
I'm too close to the president.
359
00:29:26,412 --> 00:29:30,124
I can't believe I'm hearing this.
Who is pressuring you, Karen?
360
00:29:30,291 --> 00:29:35,045
You have to trust me on this, honey.
We will get through this, I promise.
361
00:29:35,212 --> 00:29:38,924
And I love you,
and that's all that should matter here.
362
00:29:39,091 --> 00:29:41,677
- Is it?
- Yes.
363
00:30:01,947 --> 00:30:04,325
Why is it taking so long with Jack's call?
364
00:30:04,492 --> 00:30:07,495
It just is. He used a double-length key
to slow us down.
365
00:30:07,661 --> 00:30:12,458
- We're going as fast as we can.
- I'm off the highway checking surface streets.
366
00:30:23,844 --> 00:30:25,888
Valley Cab Company. May I help you?
367
00:30:26,055 --> 00:30:29,475
I'm a counter-terrorist agent.
This is an emergency.
368
00:30:32,520 --> 00:30:37,733
- I see no sign of Jack. What's north of here?
- Nothing but national forest for 32 miles.
369
00:30:37,900 --> 00:30:41,529
He could be in the Central Valley by now.
370
00:30:41,695 --> 00:30:43,781
Wait. I might have found something.
371
00:30:43,948 --> 00:30:45,866
- I'll get back to you.
- OK.
372
00:30:57,670 --> 00:30:59,713
Nadia.
373
00:30:59,880 --> 00:31:02,299
Has Doyle found Jack yet?
374
00:31:02,466 --> 00:31:07,137
Well, he might have a lead.
He's checking it out now.
375
00:31:07,304 --> 00:31:09,807
Come with me.
376
00:31:19,275 --> 00:31:23,237
- I'm stepping down as director of CTU.
- What?
377
00:31:24,697 --> 00:31:27,908
- What happened?
- All I can say is I have to step down.
378
00:31:28,075 --> 00:31:30,578
No, sir, that doesn't make any sense.
379
00:31:30,744 --> 00:31:35,916
- Why would you quit now, of all days?
- I'm not quitting.
380
00:31:36,333 --> 00:31:39,044
I was fired.
381
00:31:39,712 --> 00:31:41,672
By who?
382
00:31:41,839 --> 00:31:45,092
It doesn't matter. I've contacted Division.
383
00:31:45,259 --> 00:31:47,886
For now you're acting director.
384
00:31:50,556 --> 00:31:55,102
Mr. Buchanan. We've been ordered
to escort you off the premises.
385
00:31:55,269 --> 00:32:01,233
I'm briefing Ms Yassir. She's taking over
as head of CTU. We'll need one more minute.
386
00:32:01,400 --> 00:32:03,444
One minute.
387
00:32:05,362 --> 00:32:09,199
We're in the middle of 50 different things.
Why would they do this now?
388
00:32:09,366 --> 00:32:13,287
I can't talk about it. You need to accept it
and do the best you can.
389
00:32:13,454 --> 00:32:15,539
I don't understand why they'd fire you.
390
00:32:15,706 --> 00:32:18,959
You're the most ethical,
dedicated person I've ever known.
391
00:32:19,126 --> 00:32:23,672
There's no way you did anything
to justify this.
392
00:32:23,839 --> 00:32:26,216
Dammit, Bill, what is going on?
393
00:32:28,427 --> 00:32:31,263
It's just politics.
394
00:32:32,139 --> 00:32:35,643
Division will send over an interim director
in the next few hours.
395
00:32:35,809 --> 00:32:38,646
In the meantime
you handle anything that comes up.
396
00:32:38,812 --> 00:32:42,483
What about everything
I've had to go through today?
397
00:32:42,650 --> 00:32:47,655
- I'm not the right choice to take over.
- I've lifted all your security restrictions.
398
00:32:47,821 --> 00:32:50,991
You shouldn't have any trouble running CTU.
399
00:32:51,575 --> 00:32:53,661
You are the right choice.
400
00:32:55,454 --> 00:32:59,333
- I don't know what to say.
- Stay on top of the situation with Jack.
401
00:32:59,500 --> 00:33:01,710
I will.
402
00:33:01,877 --> 00:33:04,505
No one else knows I'm leaving.
403
00:33:04,672 --> 00:33:08,217
You have to inform them
before it's posted on the internal forums.
404
00:33:08,384 --> 00:33:10,803
I'll tell them.
405
00:33:18,435 --> 00:33:21,146
What you said means a lot.
406
00:33:30,155 --> 00:33:32,491
O'Brian.
407
00:33:32,658 --> 00:33:35,035
Yes. Yep. Yep. Got it.
408
00:33:37,287 --> 00:33:42,751
- Doyle just called in. He's found Jack's truck.
- Good, Morris.
409
00:33:44,753 --> 00:33:49,425
- What's happening to Buchanan?
- He's gone.
410
00:33:49,591 --> 00:33:52,636
What do you mean, he's gone?
411
00:33:52,803 --> 00:33:54,847
I'm in charge.
412
00:34:01,061 --> 00:34:03,063
Can I have everyone's attention?
413
00:34:03,230 --> 00:34:07,985
In a few minutes you're gonna be getting
a bulletin on your systems.
414
00:34:08,152 --> 00:34:10,404
Bill Buchanan has stepped down,
415
00:34:10,571 --> 00:34:14,241
which means that until Division
can send over a replacement
416
00:34:14,408 --> 00:34:16,452
he's named me acting director.
417
00:34:16,618 --> 00:34:19,830
Nothing will change operationally.
418
00:34:19,997 --> 00:34:22,791
Your objective remains the same.
419
00:34:22,958 --> 00:34:27,796
Bring in Jack Bauer before he can hand over
the component to the Chinese.
420
00:35:01,371 --> 00:35:05,626
- CTU, this is Doyle. Do you copy?
- Doyle, you're on comm. Go ahead.
421
00:35:05,793 --> 00:35:08,462
- Do you have anything on satellite?
- Spotty.
422
00:35:08,629 --> 00:35:13,258
Well, I found our truck. Either Jack switched
vehicles or he parked it and he's nearby.
423
00:35:13,425 --> 00:35:16,428
I'm gonna look at the buildings.
424
00:35:20,974 --> 00:35:24,102
There's infrastructure
we can check using thermal.
425
00:35:24,269 --> 00:35:26,814
- I'm on it.
- Hang on. We might not need it.
426
00:35:26,980 --> 00:35:31,610
- What do you mean?
- A limo just pulled off the highway.
427
00:35:31,985 --> 00:35:36,824
- Redirect nearby units to my current location.
- OK. Send alpha and delta teams.
428
00:35:36,990 --> 00:35:40,035
- Also send Air One, Two and Three.
- All right.
429
00:35:56,969 --> 00:35:59,263
Cheng just left the car.
430
00:36:14,653 --> 00:36:17,531
That's far enough.
431
00:36:17,698 --> 00:36:19,491
Mr. Bauer.
432
00:36:19,658 --> 00:36:22,160
- Where's Audrey?
- She's in the car.
433
00:36:23,579 --> 00:36:28,083
- Until I get that component...
- Nothing's gonna happen until I see Audrey.
434
00:36:28,250 --> 00:36:31,086
I wanna make sure she's all right.
435
00:36:38,176 --> 00:36:40,846
She's coming in now.
436
00:36:43,682 --> 00:36:45,851
Audrey Raines is entering the premises.
437
00:36:46,018 --> 00:36:48,812
I'm gonna need that backup.
438
00:36:49,187 --> 00:36:54,151
- You have the sub-circuit board?
- You'll get it as soon as I know she's safe.
439
00:37:06,663 --> 00:37:09,041
Take the gag out of her mouth.
440
00:37:11,668 --> 00:37:14,129
Wait.
441
00:37:14,296 --> 00:37:16,214
I'll do it.
442
00:37:44,242 --> 00:37:46,995
I'm so sorry.
443
00:37:47,704 --> 00:37:53,794
You can continue this reunion later.
How is this gonna work, Mr. Bauer?
444
00:37:55,462 --> 00:37:57,339
Audrey walks out of here alone.
445
00:37:57,506 --> 00:38:00,050
As soon as I see
that she gets down near the bridge,
446
00:38:00,217 --> 00:38:03,095
I know she's out of the range of your sniper.
447
00:38:03,261 --> 00:38:05,305
Then I'll give you the component.
448
00:38:05,472 --> 00:38:08,225
There's at least ten guns.
I need the field teams.
449
00:38:08,392 --> 00:38:10,936
Let's do this.
450
00:38:13,480 --> 00:38:17,526
I want you to walk past the bridge
100 yards on the right side of the road.
451
00:38:17,693 --> 00:38:20,779
There's a gas station
and a cab will be waiting for you.
452
00:38:20,946 --> 00:38:24,908
He has instructions to take you back to CTU.
453
00:38:26,159 --> 00:38:28,704
You need to go.
454
00:38:39,715 --> 00:38:43,218
This is going down now, Nadia.
Where are the field teams?
455
00:38:43,385 --> 00:38:46,430
- They'll be there any minute.
- I need to do something now.
456
00:38:46,596 --> 00:38:49,266
Jack is about to hand over the component.
457
00:38:49,474 --> 00:38:51,560
Mike, don't let that happen.
458
00:38:57,315 --> 00:39:00,986
Give me the circuit board or I'll kill her.
459
00:39:35,103 --> 00:39:37,189
Stay where you are.
460
00:39:49,409 --> 00:39:51,995
- This is Air One. Do you copy?
- Go ahead.
461
00:39:52,162 --> 00:39:56,541
Cheng and his men have escaped. They're
in three black Hummers heading north.
462
00:39:56,708 --> 00:39:59,753
- They're traveling off road.
- Pursue and engage.
463
00:40:05,884 --> 00:40:12,140
We've been hit! CTU, this is Air One.
We're going down. I repeat, we're going down.
464
00:41:01,148 --> 00:41:04,609
- Weapons down!
- Get on the ground now!
465
00:41:04,776 --> 00:41:07,612
- Who is your commanding officer?
- I am, Jack.
466
00:41:07,779 --> 00:41:10,448
Stand him up.
467
00:41:10,615 --> 00:41:13,660
- Where's the sub-circuit board?
- Cheng's got it.
468
00:41:13,827 --> 00:41:17,873
I was set to blow the building and destroy it
till you engaged us in a fight.
469
00:41:18,039 --> 00:41:20,292
Here's the detonator.
470
00:41:22,794 --> 00:41:25,255
- What's the problem?
- We don't have Cheng.
471
00:41:25,422 --> 00:41:28,300
- What?
- The teams didn't have time to get into place.
472
00:41:28,466 --> 00:41:34,264
We had to make a frontal assault. He must've
escaped out the rear. Nadia, did you get that?
473
00:41:34,431 --> 00:41:36,975
We've got a chopper down.
We need other choppers.
474
00:41:37,142 --> 00:41:42,022
The choppers should be there in five minutes.
They reported seeing Cheng and his men
475
00:41:42,189 --> 00:41:46,776
traveling in three black Hummers
in the mountains, off road, traveling north.
476
00:41:46,943 --> 00:41:49,863
- Copy that.
- Now place Jack under arrest.
477
00:41:50,030 --> 00:41:52,407
Understood.
478
00:41:55,535 --> 00:41:59,831
- Is he gone?
- Yeah. I gotta take you into custody, Jack.
479
00:41:59,998 --> 00:42:05,212
I had this handled.
Why the hell didn't you listen to me?
480
00:42:12,344 --> 00:42:14,221
Audrey, it's over. You're safe.
481
00:42:14,387 --> 00:42:17,140
- Help me. Don't let them do this to me.
- Audrey...
482
00:42:17,307 --> 00:42:20,477
- Help me, Jack. Don't let them do this to me.
- Audrey!
483
00:42:20,644 --> 00:42:22,729
It's me. I'm right here.
484
00:42:28,610 --> 00:42:31,071
Do you even know who I am?
485
00:42:31,238 --> 00:42:33,156
Sit her down.
486
00:42:33,323 --> 00:42:35,450
Audrey. Audrey.
487
00:42:35,617 --> 00:42:40,455
- They've done something to her. Help her.
- We will. Let's go, Jack.
488
00:42:49,756 --> 00:42:51,883
My God.
