Previously on 24.

Can I assume there is no change in
the status of President Hassan?

I'm afraid not. Then he is still
being held by terrorists.

If Hassan dies,
there is no agreement.

If I didn't know better, I'd think
you were hoping for that to happen.

Jack thinks that someone inside of C.Τ.U.
is working for the terrorists.

Jack recovered Tarin's
cell phone from the crash.

If someone did call and tip him off,
we can get the number off the memory.

It's Dana's phone.

I spoke to Hastings.
He cleared me through, Jim.

Stay where you are and keep
your hands where I can-

She just entered
the parking garage.

The only reason you've got any leverage right
now is because President Hassan is alive,

so stop screwing with me!

They are gonna force him
to make a statement...

and then they're going to kill him.

Just read the statement, Omar.

You will renounce the peace agreement.
I will never do that.

- He's stronger than we thought.
- Prepare the Internet feed.

I will tell the world
of his crimes.

This man is not our president!
He's an arrogant-

Jack, looks like Samir's
wrapping it up.

You need to get
in there right now!

I have a visual on Hassan.
Ready to engage.

I'm sorry.

The following takes place
between 8:00 a.m. and 9:00 a.m.

Madam President?

Yes? I have Jack Bauer
on the line for you.

Put him through.
Go ahead, ma'am.

Jack.

Madam President,
I don't know what to say...

except that I'm sorry.

I trust there was nothing you and your team
could have done differently.

No, ma'am.

President Ηassan was dead
before we even got there.

Then you don't owe me an apology.

I failed you, ma'am.

It was Hassan's choice to surrender
himself in order to save American lives.

It was out of your hands.

Don't put this responsibility
on yourself.

Madam President, you need to
keep this peace agreement alive.

Τhere can't be any agreement
when the I.R.K. is without a leader, Jack.

The hard-liners there will
take advantage of the vacuum...

and-and reverse all the progress
we made with Hassan.

I'm gonna have to address the
delegates in a few minutes...

and announce the dissolution
of the peace summit...

and-and formally
release them.

Ma'am, if you give up,
it means they win.

I don't see another choice, Jack.

I-I wish to God I did.

Good-bye, Jack.

What's his condition?

Ηe took a round to the shoulder, another
through the abdomen, but it exited clean.

B.P. looks steady. Look, we
need this guy for questioning.

Is he gonna make it
or not?

Doesn't look like any vitals were hit.
Ηe'll live. All right.

We'll transport him back to C.Τ.U.
Medical will take him from there.

Jack.

President Τaylor's gonna formally
announce the end of the peace conference.

Jack, you did
everything you could.

It wasn't enough.

We should get back to C.Τ.U.

Why? Τhe fuel rods
have been recovered.

The peace conference
is over.

Everybody who was responsible
is either dead or in custody.

Five, 10 minutes.
Cole.

What's the status on Samir? He's still
unconscious, but the E.M.T.'s say he'll make it.

Okay, good.
I want you to stay with him.

I'm handing over complete authority and
responsibility for his transport to you.

Are you heading back to C.Τ.U.?
No.

We're going home.
We're done.

Hastings is still probably gonna
want to debrief both of you.

I'm sure he will.
He knows how to find me.

I'm sorry it ended up like this, Jack.
Me too.

You're a good agent, Cole. I wouldn't be
standing here without you. Thank you.

I hope everything works out.
I'll hand my kit up downstairs.

Madam President.

Τhe delegates are assembled in
the lounge, as you requested.

Let's get this over with.

...discontinue
the peace summit...

that was to be a cornerstone
of her administration.

President Hassan apparently had been
kidnapped earlier and then taken...

Jamot. to this tenement building
on Holland Avenue in the Bronx.

On behalf of my country,

you have our deepest sympathy
for this terrible tragedy.

Τhough on a personal level, I imagine
you have mixed feelings right now.

Beg your pardon?

Ηassan had you arrested without cause
during his purge of suspected enemies,

allowed you to be
brutally interrogated.

I would think you have
little love for the man.

President Ηassan was under tremendous
stress, and he lost his way,

but I never stopped believing
in what he stood for.

Of course.
I meant no offense.

I'm sure you didn't.
Excuse me.

President Τaylor.

Minister Jamot.

If you can spare a few moments,
I need to speak with you.

I will be happy to sit down with you after
I have addressed the other delegations.

I know you're intending to announce
the end of the peace summit,

but there may be a way
to prevent that from happening.

Before you do anything,
I need you to hear what I have to say.

- All right.
- Ma'am, what about the delegates?

Just-Just give me
a moment.

Let's go in here.
Please.

...not learned the identity of
the terrorists in the video...

holding President Hassan
hostage, federal agents knew...

that the broadcast was coming
from the building. Yes.

Samir's men are all dead,
thanks to the Americans.

Samir was the only one left,
but I took care of him.

So, there is no connection to us?
We're in the clear?

Maybe not.

There was a woman there
who might have recognized me.

- What woman?
- She may be C.T.U. I'm not sure.

But I've seen her face before.

Where?
Six years ago,

when we were using that
mobster, Vladimir Laitanan,

to smuggle military weapons
out of the country,

she was with him.

- Are you sure it was her?
- I don't forget faces.

- Where is she now?
- In a taxicab just ahead of me...

with Jack Bauer.

Bauer?
Are they going to C.T.U.?

I don't think so, no.

Τhen it seems unlikely
she recognized you.

Better not
to take the chance.

I'll take out Bauer, too,
while I'm at it.

The Americans believe the I.R.K. were
solely behind the recent attacks.

Killing Bauer and this woman would only alert
them to the fact that others were involved.

How long before they
discover it was us?

It will take even less time
if this woman remembers me.

What are my orders?

Continue to follow them,
keep them in sight,

and I'll get back to you.

I don't have the words to tell
you and Kayla how sorry I am.

I know you did
everything in your power.

Jamot, I wasn't aware
that you were here.

I only arrived
a short time ago.

I want you to know that,
in our last few hours together,

Omar expressed
his regrets to me,

not the least of which
was his treatment of you.

I appreciate that.

Mrs. Hassan, I realize
our timing's intrusive,

but there's something
we need to discuss privately.

Did you find him,
President Taylor?

Τhe man
who killed my father?

Samir Mehran. Yes.

Ηe was badly wounded,
but he'll live to stand trial.

And believe me, he will pay
dearly for what he's done.

Kayla, darling, I need to speak
with President Taylor alone.

Give us a few minutes.

What is it that you wish
to talk to me about?

Mrs. Ηassan, as you know,
for almost a year,

your husband and I worked
to make this peace agreement a reality.

Now, in that time,
I saw the kind of leader he was.

He managed, against difficult odds,

to bring a fractious and
contentious parliament together.

But now that he's gone, your country
is going to be thrown into turmoil.

I'm aware of the challenges
that we are facing.

Why are you telling me this?

Clearly, someone needs to take the
reins of the I.R.K. government.

Someone who believes in the same ideals
and principles as Omar Hassan...

and who shares his strength.

Minister Jamot believes that
that person should be you.

What?

I'm not the only one
who believes it.

I've spoken to our delegation...

as well as with the other members
of our cabinet back home.

You represent our best,
our only real chance...

to preserve our government
and your husband's agenda.

You are out of your mind!

I am no politician.

But you are a martyr's wife,

and history has proven that to
be something far more powerful.

You have always been popular
with the people.

The vast majority of them
want peace.

They will rally around you.

The Council of Guardian
will have no choice...

but to recognize you
as successor to the presidency.

But I have a choice.

You assume too much of me,
Jamot.

I realize that this
is a lot to consider,

especially now
while you're grieving.

But without a unifying figure
to hold your country together,

everything your husband worked
for will be for nothing.

President Τaylor, my marriage
to Omar was far from perfect.

We had many problems
for a very long time.

I know only too well
how difficult it is for a marriage...

to survive a life in politics.

But through it all,
I never stopped loving him...

or sharing his desire
for better relations with the West.

If it is the will of my people...

and of my government,

I will take my husband's place
at the peace conference.

It will be my honor
to stand with you.

We'll make the announcement
together from the United Nations.

Mrs. Hassan, thank you.

She's going to do it. Oh, that's
incredible news, Madam President.

I want every delegate
contacted personally.

Τell them to cancel any plans
to leave the country.

We are returning to the U.N.
Yes, ma'am.

I'll also call C.Τ.U. and implement
those changes we discussed,

if I still have your permission.

Τhat's your decision.
Do what you think is best.

Yes, ma'am.

Where's Bauer? Jack left the
scene, took Renee with him.

Ηassan's death hit him pretty hard. Samir's
been taken to Medical to get patched up.

Is he conscious?
Barely.

- You let me know the second he's ready for questioning.
- Yes, sir.

Sir, Wilson's on the line.
Put him through.

C.T.U. O'Brian.

Τhis is Τim Woods
with Homeland Security.

Hold on. I'll put you
through to Mr. Hastings.

Uh, no. Actually, I'm calling
to speak with you, Ms. O'Brian.

Me? Are you sure?

I know this is an unusual circumstance,
so I'll get straight to the point.

President Τaylor and the foreign dignitaries
are returning to the U.N. shortly,

where the president will announce
her intent to move forward...

with the signing
of the peace agreement.

What? Excuse me, but how can she
do that without President Hassan?

I'm not at liberty
to say just yet,

but our immediate concern
is whether C.T.U. is capable...

of handling security
for the rest of the process.

It's already been infiltrated by an enemy
agent, compromised more than once today.

We cannot have
any more mistakes.

Are you suggesting I'm
responsible for those mistakes?

On the contrary, I reviewed the
hourly reports, and from what I see,

you've made some astute calls, proven to be
very resourceful throughout this crisis.

Okay.
So why are you calling me?

I'm relieving Brian Hastings of
his post effective immediately.

We're now in the process of vetting
suitable candidates to replace him,

but until we find someone,
you'll have provisional command.

You're-You're
putting me in charge?

For the time being.

I know your record
at C.T.U.'s L.A. branch...

and how important you were
during the Sangala crisis.

There's nobody in that building
who has more experience than you do.

Sir, you're making a mistake.

What happened with President Hassan and
everything else wasn't Mr. Hastings's fault.

Chloe, I don't have time
to debate this with you.

Division feels you are the most
qualified to step in, and I agree.

My decision's made.
Now accept it, and let's move on.

Does Mr. Ηastings know?

Division's informing him
as we speak.

Just try to make the transition
as quick and painless as possible.

I'll be in touch as soon as the
president arrives at the U.N.

Yes, sir.

Come in.

Mr. Ηastings?

It's okay, Chloe.

I just want you to know, I don't
think it's fair what they're doing-

laying all the blame on you.

Everything that happens here
is my responsibility-

the successes and the failures.

I recruited Dana Walsh
into this agency.

I let the snake into the garden.

I need to review
protocols with you.

Let's not waste any time.

- You live here long?
- No. Just during my recovery.

You know, I still think I got
some coffee around here.

What's her name-
your granddaughter?

Teri.

Kim named her
after her mom.

Jack, listen.

I know that we've said
a lot of things to each other,

and you've made promises
to me about-

I just want you to know that I'm
not gonna hold you to them.

It's been a terrible day, and I know
that we-we say things in the moment,

and I just-
I don't want you to-

Ηello?
Somebody there?

Take my briefcase
to Marine One...

and tell the Secret Service
I'll be ready to leave shortly.

And send Mr. Novakovich in.
Yes, ma'am.

Mr. Novakovich. Thank you for
seeing me, Madam President.

Not at all.
What can I do for you?

I just had a curious phone
call from Tim Woods...

indicating that you are
intending to move forward...

with the peace initiative
from the I.R.K.

That's correct.

May I ask how you propose to do this,
considering their leader is dead?

Well, I intended to answer that question
during my address to the assembly,

but since you're asking,
Dalia Hassan...

will be signing the agreement
in her husband's stead.

That's an interesting idea,
Madam President,

but I don't see how she would have the
authority to sign such a document.

She's getting it
from her government now.

Their parliament called
an emergency session...

to ratify her
as provisional president.

The letter confirming that
is forthcoming.

Madam President,
I appreciate your optimism,

but I don't understand
how you can believe...

that installing Hassan's widow
as some kind of figurehead...

will alleviate our concerns about the
instability of the I.R.K. government.

With President Ηassan dead,
the opposition will only get stronger.

Hassan's death
will galvanize his supporters...

and every advocate
of this peace process...

to endorse her as his successor.

You can't be certain of that.

Once again, Mr. Novakovich,

you're giving every indication that Russia
has no interest in this peace accord.

I'm sorry that you feel that way,
Madam President,

but the fact remains
that we are no longer confident...

that any meaningful
progress can be made.

Respectfully, my country will be
declining to sign your peace document.

Excuse me.

Do I need to take this up
with President Suvarov myself?

If you like,
but I can assure you,

I have full authority
on this matter.

Any decision that I make represents the
formal position of the Russian government.

Good day.

Agent Peters, I need
to see Secretary Kanin now.

Yes, ma'am.
Liberty's on the move.

We managed to clear a blockage in
one of your coronary arteries,

and the X-rays show the heart muscle
tissue damage to be less than we expected.

In other words,
I'm a tough son of a bitch.

You're a lucky man, I'll say
that for you, Mr. Secretary.

I guess that means
I can resume my duties.

Although the procedure was noninvasive, I'd
prefer if you took it easy for a little while.

That isn't a "no."

Ηello, Ethan.
How are you feeling?

Well, uh,
I've seen better days.

Would you give us
a few moments, please?

Of course.
Thank you.

You heard about Ηassan?
Tim Woods told me.

Ηe also filled me in on the I.R.K.
plan to install Dalia Hassan.

What do you think?

Ηer family's well connected
and powerful.

I think it's an inspired idea.

Well, the Russians don't.

Novakovich told me in no uncertain
terms they won't accept her.

Τhey're using it as an excuse
to pull out of the signing.

Even if the I.R.K.
has a new leader,

the peace agreement won't stand
without Moscow's endorsement.

I need your help, Ethan.

You got the Russians to the table.
What can I do to keep them there?

There may be someone
who can help us here.

But you're not gonna like it.
Who?

Charles Logan.
Logan?

Ethan, you can't be serious.

Τhe man's a criminal.
I don't care if he was pardoned.

I didn't agree with President
Daniels's decision either,

but the fact is, he's left several
messages at my office over the past hour.

Apparently, he's aware of the Russians'
reticence in signing the agreement.

Ηe's offered his assistance.

How could he possibly know
about this?

Well, despite his political downfall,

he's managed to maintain a uniquely
close relationship with Moscow.

His messages indicated he has
information which might prove useful...

in keeping the Russians
at the table.

What information?

Ηe didn't say.

Allison,

I don't trust this man
any more than you do,

but I'd be remiss if I didn't urge you
to at least hear him out.

Okay, listen up, everyone, please.

I've never been very good
at good-byes,

but I want to tell you
what an honor it's been for me...

to have served with each
and every one of you.

Division is now vetting names
to replace me.

In the meantime,
Chloe O'Brian will be in charge,

and I'm sure you will show her the same
level of loyalty and commitment...

that you've all shown me.

Thank you.

Sir-Aw, don't worry, Chloe.
You can do this.

I hope so.

I just want to say,
we had a rough start,

but I eventually really
enjoyed working for you.

Well, I'm happy to say
that I was wrong about you.

If I'd listened to you
in the beginning,

maybe things would have turned
out differently. I doubt it.

I'll be at Division,
debriefing,

but I'm available to you
if you have any questions.

Τhank you, sir.
Good luck.

Mr. Hastings.
I have Agent Ortiz on the line.

They have a situation in Medical.
This one's all yours, Chloe.

Ms. O'Brian.

- Cole, it's Chloe.
- Where's Hastings?

Ηe's not here.
What happened?

Samir's just gone
into cardiac arrest.

- What?
- I need four milligrams epinephrine and 275 lidocaine.

I'll be right there.

Clear!

Going again.

Going again at 360.

Clear!

Nothing.

Doc?

What happened? I thought his
injuries were not life-threatening.

So did l.
Where the hell is Hastings?

- He's been removed by Division.
- Who's in command?

I am, until they find
a replacement.

You were with Samir
the whole time?

- All the way from the scene, yeah.
- What about at the scene?

Ηe may have been out of my
sight for a few minutes.

Emergency personnel
were with him.

- Look, we got to move his body to the morgue for an autopsy.
- Not yet.

Order a preliminary
toxicology panel.

- But they'll run a full panel during the autopsy.
- I want it done now!

Chloe, he was barely conscious. Ηe couldn't
have taken something to off himself.

No, but somebody could have
given it to him.

Do what she says.

I'll be in Ηastings's office-
my office.

Let me know
when you find something.

A few of the more conservative
members of our delegation...

may continue to resist you,

but I hope we can-
we can persuade them.

Perhaps if I spoke
to them personally.

A very good idea.

Miss Kayla, I didn't get a chance
to tell you how deeply sorry I am.

Thank you.

Well, I will see you both
back at the U.N.

The U.N.? I thought
you were going home.

No, not yet.
There are new developments.

I'll explain them to you
on the way.

What is going on, Mother?

Why did President Taylor and Jamot
want to speak with you alone?

They have asked me
to consider staying on...

to complete
your father's work.

I don't understand.
What does that mean?

Our party wishes to appoint me
as the new president.

What was your answer?

You told them you couldn't possibly
accept, not after what's happened.

Kayla! Our country
is on the verge of a coup...

by the people responsible
for the murder of your father.

Someone must lead.

You can't beat them.
Don't you realize that by now?

I don't believe that.
I won't.

And the greatest blow I can strike against
them is to sign the peace agreement.

This will be
your father's legacy.

It will be
a death sentence for you!

You want peace to live,
but all these people want is anarchy.

Oh, Mother, they'll kill you!
Enough!

You are not the only one
who has suffered today.

This was not an easy decision for me,
but it was mine to make.

I do not need you
to remind me of the danger.

I need you to help me be strong.

Now, pull yourself together.
There is a car waiting for us.

I'm sure the media does want a response, but
I'm not ready to give them one just yet.

Τhey'll have to wait.
All right.

Thank you.

The press secretary says...

the Russians are already leaking
to the news channels...

their intention to reluctantly
pull out of the talks.

They don't like wasting time.

Ηas my guest arrived?
Yes, ma'am.

I had Secret Service bring him in
through the freight entrance...

and then deliver him discreetly to
conference room number three, as you asked.

- Thank you, Τim.
- Yes, ma'am.

Madam President, let me convey my condolences
on the loss of President Hassan.

I know you worked
closely with him.

This must be
very hard for you.

Τhank you for your sympathy,
Mr. President.

If you don't mind,
I'd like to talk to you alone.

Τhis is my executive assistant,
Jason Pillar.

I assure you
he can be trusted.

Forgive me if I don't give much
weight to your endorsement.

He needs to leave.

Excuse us, Jason.

Let's get
something straight.

I agreed to this meeting only at
the behest of Secretary Kanin.

Now, I'm not sure you're
entirely aware of the situation.

My understanding is, the Russians
are rejecting Dalia Hassan...

as a legitimate successor,

and as a result, won't sign off
on the peace agreement.

You're well informed.

I have close friends in Moscow.

In some ways, people there appreciate
me more than people in my own country.

It wasn't their constitution
you trampled.

The Russians have been trying to back
out of this agreement from day one.

Do you honestly think your
relationships can change their minds?

I'm certain I can.
How?

Let's just say I'm going to be
able to exercise some leverage.

What kind of leverage?

If it gets the job done,
does it really matter?

It does to me.

I can promise you
no laws wll be broken,

nothing will tarnish you
or your presidency,

but the details really must stay
between me and the Russians.

You and President Hassan
created the framework...

for the most significant
peace in a generation,

and you got
the entire world behind it.

To let the Russians tear down what should
be the crown jewel in your administration-

Don't play me.

This is about you trying
to repair your reputation.

Is that so hard to understand?

You participated in a conspiracy to cover
up the assassination of David Palmer.

I was trying to protect the country
from unnecessary trauma-

Don't! You were doing
what was best for yourself.

Yes.

You're right, Madam President.

You're right. I suppose
I've spent so many years...

trying to justify my actions...

that it's become difficult for me...

to own up to the truth.

I made mistakes-

terrible mistakes-

that stained the office
of the presidency...

and for which I will be paying
the rest of my life.

But I still can be
of value to my country.

I can still do some good.

Look, we both know you
wouldn't have called me...

unless you were out of options.

So, we can continue
to dwell on the past,

or you can let me pursue the only chance you
have of resurrecting the peace process.

Please.

Let me help you.

All right.

Thank you.

What do you intend
to do first?

Arrange a meeting with the
Russian delegate, Novakovich.

Um, get a message to him
at his hotel.

Τell him that you are sending
over your official emissary...

to have a talk with him.

What if he doesn't agree
to this meeting?

Make sure he knows it's me.
He'll agree to it.

God help you
if you make me regret this.

O'Brian.

You okay?

Perfect.
Promise?

Hmm.

I am so thirsty.
I am too.

Do you want me to get you
something to drink? Sure.

Okay.

I'll be right back.

Don't move.

Jack, your cell's ringing.

- Don't worry about it.
- Let it go.

Hello. Jack's phone.

Renee, it's Chloe. I need to talk to Jack.
What's wrong?

Samir Mehran is dead.
I think he was assassinated.

What do you mean
"assassinated"?

I ran a preliminary
toxicology report.

It showed traces of an unidentified
toxin in his bloodstream.

Someone must have injected him
with it, probably at the scene.

There was-There was an E.M.Τ.
There. He looked familiar.

There was so much going on,
I-I didn't take much notice.

- Familiar? From where?
- I need you to get my F.B.l. case files.

Get me everything you have
on Red Square.

You think he was
from the Russian mob?

Ηe looked like somebody who was with Vladimir
Laitanan during the time I was under.

Τhat was six years ago.
Are you sure?

Honestly, no.

Just send me the case files,
all the surveillance photos that were taken.

And I'll see if he's in there.
Okay.

Jack, you need
to hear this. Samir-

Renee. Renee!

God.

Renee?

Jack. Jack.
Renee, are you there?

Don't talk. I'm gonna
get you to a hospital.

- Did something happen?
- Who is this?

- It's Chloe.
- Chloe, it's Jack.

Renee's been hit by a sniper
through the window of my apartment.

We're still taking fire. I need a
trauma team at St. Andrew's now.

Ηold on. Stay with me.
Come on.

Let's go.

Keep everybody in the lobby.
There's a sniper outside.

Call 911! Now!

Move!

She's been shot. We need to get to the hospital-
St. Andrew's Hospital, 22nd and Ninth.

Come on.
We're gonna make it.

Breathe. Just breathe.

We're gonna make it. We're gonna make it.
I promise.

Do whatever you have to! We've
got to get to the hospital now!

No, no. Come on. Come on.
I got you. I got you.

I got you. No. You're gonna be all right.
We're almost there.

They're a few blocks from your hospital
and should be there any minute.

Please make sure she's given
priority care. Thank you.

Arlo, pull up satellite.

Isolate the areas between Eighth
Avenue and West 18th Street.

What's going on?
Renee Walker was just shot.

What?
Just do what I asked!

Jack said the sniper was positioned at his
apartment at 1145 West 18th Street.

Roll back the feed three minutes.
Is she gonna be okay?

Ηe's rushing her
to the hospital now.

I don't get it. Why would
anyone want to kill Renee?

Help! She's been shot!
There's no exit wound!

Got a gunshot wound to the chest!
Let's move! Trauma team standing by.

What's her pulse? 110.
Respiratory is still ragged.

Check her carotid.
B.P. is 80 over 50.

- Clear the whole place.
- Thank you.

What do we have?
Five is prepped.

We're gonna take care of you.
O.R. 5, let's go.

Ηow many gunshot wounds?
One in the chest.

Sir, you need to stay right here.
Is patient typed and crossed?

No.
Call the blood bank, send up four units of O-negative.

Right away.
Come on, come on, come on!

Let's go, people.

Yeah.
Jack, it's Chloe.

Ηow is she?
Not good.

We rolled back satellite
to the area around your building.

The shots were fired
from an office across the street.

P.D. reported finding
a body at the scene.

What about the shooter?

We don't have anything.
We lost him.

You were on the phone with her
right before she got shot.

What were you
talking about?

It's not important right now.
Just be with her.

She's in surgery, Chloe.
I can't.

- What were you talking about?
- I told her what I'm calling to tell you.

Samir Mehran was given a lethal injection
at the scene of his capture...

probably to keep him
from talking.

Renee thought she may have
recognized one of the E.M.T.'s.

She didn't say anything to me.
She wasn't sure.

She didn't think it meant
anything at the time.

Where did she say
she remembered him from?

From her days undercover
with the Russian mob.

She asked me to get her
the Red Square file.

Did you pull up the file? Yes.

- Jack?
- I gotta get back to you.

I'm sorry.
She didn't make it.

Τhere was just too much
arterial damage and blood loss.

I'm very sorry.

Looks like scheduling that speech at
Columbia was a stroke of good luck, sir.

Τhere is no luck.
Only readiness to seize an opportunity.

Someone famous said that. Sun Τzu?

Charles Logan.

Your time away
served you well, sir.

Yes. Yes, I believe it did.

I haven't felt this strong
since my California congressional days.

Τhis is just the prelude
to your renaissance, sir.

Wait until you deliver
the peace accord on a platter.

They'll celebrate you as a hero in
Washington as well as in B'Dar.

I like the sound of that.

Perhaps we'll finally have a proper
ceremony at my presidential library...

after this is all over.

Did Τaylor agree to the conditions?

Of course.
She really didn't have any choice.

I don't think Novakovich
will be as amenable.

Mikhail is as much of a cut-rate politician...

as he was a cut-rate minister
in the K.G.B.

I knew him when he was monitoring
wiretaps coming out ofAzerbaijan.

I don't think
that he's gonna be any obstacle.

Besides, he knows I'm not afraid
to go over his head to Suvarov.

Our asset at the hotel reports that
Τaylor's message of your arrival...

was relayed successfully.
Good.

Let Mikhail sweat for a few minutes,

and be in a perfect position
to agree to my proposal.

You don't think he's prepared
for that angle?

No.

If anything, he's expecting
your standard muscle job-

photos of his vacation in Odessa
with his mistress.

Those shots of his son's drug use
in that Moscow club.

No, I don't think that he's expecting us
to have this intel.

- We should run through the contingencies just in case.
- There's no need, Jason.

I've waited too long
to leave any of this up to chance.

Everything's happening
just the way it should.

I waited patiently for the moment
to divulge this intel...

in the hopes of resurrecting
my political career...

and finally redeeming myself
in the eyes of my country.

I will not let this plan fail.

I cannot.
