Original subtitles

Jack, this is hard for me.

The Chinese have proof that you led the assault on their consulate.

- And now the Chinese want me. - That's right.

Listen to me carefully. The man they sent to take you into custody has orders to kill you.

- Orders from who? - Someone in Logan's camp.

Dale Spaulding, Secret Service.

[Spaulding] I have orders to takeJack Bauer into custody.

I intend to execute those orders.

- [Shouting] - Jack!

- He's dead. - I'm sorry.

God! Jack.

- [Door Opens] - Give me the epinephrine.

[Door Closes]

[Chloe] I hope it's not too late. He really looks dead.

Come on, Jack.

Come on, Jack! Damn it!

[Gasping, Coughing]

Hey. All right, Chloe.

I need you to run interference with the local coroner.

Make sure their database syncs up with Jack's information.

- That won't cover the autopsy. - There's not gonna be an autopsy.

They wanted Jack dead. Now he's dead.

- Mr. President, you saved my life. - I'm sorry it came to this.

- I just wanted to let you know that I was out. - I'm glad.

Jack, you do understand, when you hang up...

for all intents and purposes, Jack Bauer's dead.

I understand that, sir.

Mr. President, it's been an honor.

[Man] The following takes place between 7:00 a.m. And 8:00 a.m.

Jim Nichols. You're on pump number one.

Sterling Rush, Patrick Reese. You're on pump number four.

Phil Stone, Greg Nelson. You're on pump five.

Sorry, guys. That's all I got today.

Hey, Frank. Look, I know I promised you work today.

- Pump seven went off-line last night. - It's all right.

- I'll try again tomorrow. - Yeah.

- Tomorrow will be much better. - See ya tomorrow.

[Man On TV] The sun is shining, but the air is cool in President Logan's retreat...

where Russian President Yuri Suvarov is expected to arrive later this morning.

Everything worked for me up until the chapter on your first campaign.

It's a little long-winded, and I think that we can cut that down by half.

- So why don't we start with the paragraph- - [TVContinues, Indistinct]

You didn't hear a word I just said, did you?

- Yeah. I was listening. - No, you weren't.

You're right. I'm sorry.

- Are you okay? - I can use a break.

- What's going on? - What do you mean?

I mean you've been distracted ever since you got to Los Angeles.

I don't know. It's- It's like you're somewhere else.

Writing my memoirs-

Maybe it's put me in a melancholy mood.

Is that all it is?

Yeah.

David, I'm your brother.

Whatever it is, you can tell me.

It's all right. Really.

Okay.

Well, then let's get back to work.

One more chapter, and we'll take a break.

Why don't wejump down to, um, chapter 6?

There's gonna be a lot of questions about your relationship with Sherry.

[Silenced Gunshot]

- David! - Shot fired.

- Get help! - [People Shouting]

Stay with me. Get help!

Walt. My chair?

- Don't worry, Mr. President. I had it adjusted. - Good.

Adjusted? Wait a minute. What are we talking about here?

Yuri Suvarov is over six feet. Russian president can't be lookin' down...

at the president of the United States when the cameras roll.

- It's a risky proposition, Walt. If the press finds out- - They won't.

Don't underestimate the power of the image, Mike.

Stalin and Churchill- They both sat for F.D.R. At Yalta.

- This is the defining moment of my administration. - [Phone Rings]

We have to make sure that the media presents it the right way.

- [Ringing] - I'll get it.

- Yeah? - [Man] Sir, Greg Porter on the phone for you.

- Yeah. Put him through. - Have you checked on my wife?

She's still getting ready.

- She'll be fine, sir. - Hmm.

I'm in contact with Dr. Hill.

I'd feel better if you would check on her yourself.

She cannot have one of her meltdowns today.

Look, you're the only one she listens to, Walt.

- Yes, sir. - Thank you.

Mike? Mike, what is it?

David Palmer's been assassinated.

- What? - It just happened.

Oh, my God.

- Where? - In L.A.

I don't believe this.

Mr. President, uh, C.T.U. Is standing by to...

brief you directly whenever you're ready.

- [Man On TV, Indistinct] - Make sure L.A.P.D. Sets up a hard perimeter.

- They're sending everyone they've got. - Where are they on witnesses?

- Nowhere yet. - Who's running search and sweep?

- Secret Service, but they're short-handed. - Narrow the search area.

Make sure Ballistics runs a line-of-fire trajectory.

- Sir, President Logan's ready. - Yeah, I'll call Ballistics.

- Put the president through. - [Woman] Yes, sir. Go ahead.

- Mr. President. - Bill.

Not to diminish the loss that we're all feeling right now...

but I am expecting the Russian president very soon, so-

- Let's say what needs to be said. - Of course, sir.

- Have you arrested the person who did this? - Not yet, sir.

- Then what do you have? - Sir, the damage inflicted by the single shot...

indicates that President Palmer was hit by a.308 caliber bullet fired from an adjacent building.

We've initiated an interagency protocol, Level 5-

Don't- Don't give me protocols, Bill. Give me results.

Whoever did this, I want them dead or in custody by the time the Russians get here.

Yes, Mr. President. But until we know more...

I would ask that you consider postponing the signing of the treaty.

No. Absolutely not.

Mr. President, we can't discount the possibility...

that this attack is somehow connected to the arms agreement.

A former president was assassinated 15 miles from where you are.

And I'm sure I don't need to explain the significance of this day.

Do you realize what kind of political and economic capital I've spent...

just to get the Russians to the table?

If we call this off, they won't come back.

[Vehicles Passing]

Spenser.

- Spenser. - What?

- Get out of my bed. - Yeah.

I had a good time last night too.

I'm serious. This was a mistake. Get outta here.

What do you mean a mistake? We had a great time.

- I don't get involved with people who work for me. - It's too late for that.

I would appreciate it if you didn't tell everybody at work about this.

I don't want everyone thinking I'm some kind of slut.

Believe me, no one's ever gonna think that.

What's that supposed to mean?

You should lighten up, you know?

You'll live longer.

- What are you doing? - When you quit overanalyzing the situation...

I think you're gonna find out that you and I are pretty good together.

- So I'm telling you in advance, yes. - Yes, what?

I'll let you buy me dinner, get me drunk, have your way with me.

Anytime you want.

You know, um, arrogance doesn't turn me on.

I've read that some women respond to it, but I'm just letting you know I don't.

[Cell Phone Beeps]

[Beeping Continues]

[Sighs]

- What is it? - President Palmer's been shot.

He's dead.

[Man On TV]... his first public comment since the death of the former president.

Security has been raised to the highest level around President Logan's retreat.

To repeat what we know up to this point-

President David Palmer was assassinated in Los Angeles.

The former president was in the penthouse apartment...

of his brother and former chief of staff, Wayne Palmer-

- [Sniffles] - when a single bullet was fired...

apparently from another high-rise building across the street.

- President Palmer was struck in the throat- - [Knocking]

[TVContinues, Indistinct]

No suspects have been taken into custody-

- Who is it? - [Woman] It's me, Frank.

[Hammer Uncocks]

- Hey. - Hey.

I saw your truck outside. I thought you were on today.

- Ned didn't need me this morning. - Hmm.

It's so terrible what happened.

Are you okay?

Yeah. I'm fine.

- Come on. I'm making breakfast. - Okay.

- [Door Closes] - Frank's gonna join us.

Great.

Derek, stop it.

Mornin'.

Use a glass, please.

Here.

Excuse me.

- Can I ask you something, Frank? - Yeah, sure.

That rig in Alaska you worked on-

- What was that called again? - The Albatross.

- And you were there last year? - Yeah. Why?

That's funny. My friend's got a brother who's been working on that rig for five years.

He's never heard of any Frank Flynn.

[Chuckles] It's a big platform.

Yeah? My friend's brother says everyone knows everyone.

- What is this, an interrogation? - I just don't like being lied to.

- Derek. - It's all right.

No one's lying to you, Derek.

Really?

When you're out there, a lot of the guys just use nicknames.

- Yeah. - What's your friend's brother's name?

- Eat your breakfast. - Yeah, I'm not hungry.

Sorry. He's just kind of protective of me, but-

It's the best thing in the world for him to have a man around here.

Look, what he said about me and Alaska-

You don't owe me an explanation.

I figure if you had wanted to tell me about your past, you would've told me already.

I trust my instincts.

And I trust you.

Former president David Palmer was killed just a short while ago.

Now, no information has been released to the public at this time...

but an independent source has verified that Palmer was in Los Angeles...

- [TVContinues, Indistinct] - Bill will call if he needs us. You know that.

No, he won't.

- [Line Ringing] - All right. Come on.

It's not our job- not anymore.

- This is different. - Come on, Michelle.

I'm just as upset as you are. David Palmer meant a lot to me too.

There are other people at C.T.U. Who can handle this.

No one who was active during the other attempts on his life.

Tony, you and I worked up suspect profiles. We ran scenarios.

- And they have our records on file. - They don't have our experience.

I never once regretted our decision to leave C.T. U...

but I don't want to look back on today and realize I could've helped.

We're running a business here, Michelle.

Rick Rosen's expecting us to make a presentation in less than an hour.

You can handle the meeting on your own.

Michelle. Don't do this.

[Beeping, Line Rings]

- It's Rick. Leave me a message. - [Answering Machine Beeps]

Rick, it's Tony Almeida.

I wanted to call and let you know Michelle's not gonna be able to make our meeting today.

She had to go someplace.

- On second thought- [Exhales] I'm goin' with her. - [Beeping]

Michelle!

Michelle!

[Beeping]

- [Chattering] - [Shutter Clicking]

[TVAnchor, Indistinct]

Did Jepson brief you on what's happening?

He said there was a car bombing. Two former C.T.U. Agents were hit.

Their names were Michelle Dessler and Tony Almeida.

You knew them?

Yeah.

We're data mining for a connection between them and President Palmer.

- I sent the parameters to your screen. - I'll get on it.

[Beeping, Line Ringing]

- [Chloe] Yeah? - It's Edgar. Are you coming in?

I just got paged on a Level 5 protocol. Of course I'm coming in.

- I wanted to give you a heads-up before you got here. - Heads-up?

It's bad, Chloe.

President Palmer was gunned down. I'd say that's pretty bad.

- It's not just him. - What are you talking about?

Someone planted a bomb in Michelle Dessler's car.

- What? - Michelle's dead.

And Tony's not doin' too good.

Doesn't make any sense. They were retired.

Buchanan thinks it's linked to Palmer somehow.

We're cross-referencing everything we have on Palmer with Tony and Michelle...

see if we can find a connection-

anything they may have had in common.

- Chloe. - Go.

- Chloe. - I'll call you back.

- Why? Chloe. - Call you back!

[Line Disconnects]

Hey! Come on, man!

[Chattering]

Hey!

Since I don't have to go to work, I can take care of the fence out back.

Oh, that'd be great.

I can't thank you enough for all the work you've done around here.

- It's the least I could do. - [Cell Phone Rings]

Excuse me. Yeah?

I know this isn't protocol. Please don't hang up on me. I need your help.

Hold on. I can barely hear you.

I don't have a very good signal. Excuse me.

- What is it? - They got Tony and Michelle. Michelle is dead.

Tony's in critical condition. Now they're gonna kill me.

- What are you talking about? - There's four people that know you're alive.

Three of them are down. I'm the only one left.

This has to be about you. It's the only thing the four of us have in common.

- What happened to Tony and Michelle? - There was a car bomb.

There was a guy outside my apartment, and he was chasing me.

Oh, my God. Where is he now?

I think I lost him. I'm at a pay phone.

I dumped my cell phone. I don't know what to do now.

Chloe, you need to go dark. That means zero contact with anyone.

- Even C.T. U? - Especially C.T.U.

Who's ever behind this is probably monitoring them.

- Someone out there knows I'm still alive. - Who?

I don't know. That's what we need to find out.

Right now, I want you to head north out of Los Angeles.

There's an abandoned oil refinery at Variel and Topanga.

I want you to wait for me there.

Take cover by the large storage tanks at the north end of the field.

- You're coming to L. A? - Give me about a half an hour.

Okay. Thanks.

Tony Almeida's being medevaced in.

- I have a trauma team standing by to receive him in Medical. - You're bringing him to C.T. U?

If there's a second attempt on his life, we can't protect him in a hospital.

This doesn't track. Michelle and Tony have been inactive for over a year.

- Who'd want them dead? - Whoever wanted Palmer dead.

So we're assuming they're connected.

The timing was too close to write it off as a coincidence.

There is a connection. Let's find it.

Sir, the D.O.D. Liaison is here.

I need to set her up with the security protocols for the summit.

I'll take care of it. You have your assignments.

Send updates directly to my screen.

- Where is she? - She just cleared security.

- Audrey. - Bill.

Must be hard for you to be back here.

Thank you, Bill. I'm fine.

I'm sorry about Michelle.

Walt Cummings briefed me on the way over here.

He said you wanted to postpone the signing of the treaty.

- President Logan is making a mistake. - I don't disagree.

- Have you let him know that? - He's the president, Bill.

- It's his call. - That's what I'm afraid of.

He wants me to make sure that your top priority is still security for the summit.

Station 5 is set up for you. When you're situated...

we'll go over the revised security protocols.

Great. Thank you, Bill.

- [Camera Shutters Clicking] - David Palmer was a man of truth and of honor.

And his influence will be felt for generations to come.

Our nation grieves for its loss.

Martha and I offer our deepest sympathy.

You look beautiful, Mrs. Logan.

I look like a wedding cake.

[Gasps]

Let's start over.

- [Clears Throat] - [Knocking]

Oh, you can get that.

- Is Mrs. Logan ready? - Not quite.

You-You didn't tell her about David Palmer?

- No. - Thank you.

She'll take it hard when she finds out. They've been friends for a long time.

You don't have to talk about me like I'm not here.

Excuse us, Evelyn.

Martha.

L-l- I'm sorry. Look, I know- I know I'm late.

I'm sorry. I just- I'm having a bad hair day.

Martha, I've got some very bad news.

It- It's not Charles, is it?

- No. No, he's fine. - [Sighs]

- He wanted to tell you himself. - What?

Walt. Walt?

Well, what-What is it?

- David Palmer was assassinated. - [Whimpers]

No.

[Moans]

I'm sorry.

- I know how close you were. - When did this happen?

- Less than an hour ago. - This morning?

- Yes. - L-

l- I have to talk to Charles.

He's doing damage control. He's trying to keep this from pushing the treaty off the front page.

- I have to talk to him now. - He's doing a press conference.

- No! - Martha. Martha.

Agent North, call John.

Tell him not to let Mrs. Logan anywhere near the stage.

- All teams, this is Agent North. - This is Cummings.

As I look back upon the deeds of David Palmer-

not only one of this country's greatest leaders...

but one of this world's greatest men-

[Continues, Indistinct]

- Mrs. Logan. - Let go of me.

Let go of me. Let go-

...and President Palmer's entire family- - Get away from me. Don't touch-

- [Arguing, Indistinct] - To them, I also pledge the full resources...

- of this great nation to find and to punish those responsible. - Get away from me.

- Get your hands off me. - As I look-

- Mrs. Logan, I can't let you go out there. - Don't touch me.

Don't touch me. You get away from me...

or I will have your family eating dog food out of a can.

- Martha, stop it. - Mike, damn it, I am the first lady!

Tell your storm trooper to stay away from me!

I need to talk to my husband.

Now, Martha, look. He's in the middle of a press conference right now.

Hundreds of millions of people are watching him live.

- [Logan] Myjob is making this country more secure. - What is it, Martha?

- What is so urgent? - After careful consideration...

I have decided to keep my scheduled meeting with the Russian president.

- Maybe I can help. - Yuri Suvarov and I will sign a comprehensive treaty...

that promises a new level of cooperation between us and our Russian friends...

in the war on terror.

Tell Charles I want to see him when he's done.

All right.

[Beeping]

What's up?

[Object Clatters]

- Don't shoot me. - What the hell are you doing here?

I'm sorry I followed you. I'm just- just worried about my mother.

Get up. Get up. Get up! Damn it.

- Come here. You're goin' with me. - This is none of my business.

This is none of my business. I won't tell anyone. Just let me go, okay?

I really wish I could, kid, but I can't.

You're goin' with me. Now get in the helicopter.

Frank. Frank? Come on. Please.

- Where are you taking me? - Move.

Okay. Right here. Go ahead, and I'll prep the area.

I need to talk to Tony before he goes in to surgery.

He's nonresponsive. According to the paramedic on the chopper...

he suffered a closed head trauma. It's affected his speech.

They're gonna try to insert a stent to relieve the pressure.

- Will he be able to talk then? - The doctor doesn't know.

- I want real-time updates on his progress. - Of course.

We need Tony to explain this.

- What is it? - I may have found a connection between Tony and David Palmer.

- Tony's phone records? - One call in particular.

The last time Tony spoke to President Palmer was the day thatJack Bauer was killed.

- Pull the transcripts? - I tried, but the files were corrupted.

- What's he hiding? - Something aboutJack's death.

[Derek] Are you kidnapping me?

- No. - Then where are you taking me?

- Los Angeles. - Why?

I couldn't leave you back there. You'd have gone to the police, and I couldn't let that happen.

What is this about? Who are you?

Someone who's not supposed to still be alive.

- Like some kind of witness relocation thing? - Yeah, something like that.

- So you were a criminal. - No.

Listen. The less you know about me, the better.

- [Cell Phone Beeping] - So what are you gonna do with me?

[Line Ringing]

- [Woman] Hello? - Diane, it's me.

Frank, I can just barely hear you. What's that noise?

- I'm in a helicopter with Derek. - Derek?

Yeah. He's fine. Listen, I need you to pick him up in Los Angeles for me.

- Why is he with you? - I'll explain everything as soon as I see you.

Frank! What are you doing with Derek?

Pleasejust do this for me. I need you to get in a car and start driving now.

- You're scaring me. - Do you remember this morning when you said you trusted me?

Right now, I need you to trust me.

Derek's gonna be fine. Just do what I say.

I need you to get in a car and start driving towards Los Angeles.

Don't talk to anybody about this. I'll get back to you as soon as I can.

Frank?

I don't understand. You're just gonna hand me back to my mom?

I thought you were worried about me going to the police.

I have something to do in Los Angeles.

Once it's done, it doesn't matter.

- How are you doin'? - I'm sorry, Charles.

- I didn't mean to make a scene. - I know that.

Dr. Hill says you haven't been taking your medication.

I don't like the way the pills make me feel.

Marty.

- We just need to get through today. - Charles.

The reason that I needed to- needed to talk to you-

What is it, honey? Go ahead.

I think... th-that David was killed...

because of something he was about to tell me.

Come over here.

- What are you talking about? - He called me yesterday.

He said he wanted to meet with me.

- Meet with you about what? - He said that it concerned national security...

and that it involved you.

- Me? - Yes.

- What else did he say? - Just that he would explain when he saw me.

If this was so important, why wouldn't he have called me himself?

Well, Charles, you shut him out of this White House about 18 months ago.

You know that. He had no real access.

- Except through you. - You don't believe me.

- I didn't say that. - You didn't need to.

- Martha. - I am not making this up.

I am not crazy. I am not a fool, Charles.

It's gonna be all right.

I am not making this up.

All right. I'll have Walt look into it.

- You will? - Yes.

Thank you.

But right now...

President Suvarov and his wife are arriving in one hour.

I need you to be there.

I need you by my side.

- Yes? - Yeah.

- Come here. - I'm sorry.

- Is she all right? - No, Walt, she's not all right.

She's having another one of her delusions.

She thinks David Palmer was killed because of something he was about to tell her.

She's imagining she's in the middle of one of her own conspiracy theories.

What should we do?

Nothing.

[Beeping]

[People Chattering]

Spenser, have you talked to Chloe this morning?

No. Why?

She left her apartment about a half hour ago.

- She should have been here by now. - It's probably traffic.

She commutes against traffic. And she's not answering her cell phone.

I wouldn't worry about it.

- She sounded strange when I talked to her. - She always sounds strange.

I'm gonna call Adamson, have him run a locate on her cell.

Don't waste his time, Edgar. She's fine.

- I'm sure of it. - What makes you so sure?

- It doesn't matter. - It does to me.

I saw her, okay? Uh, about half an hour ago.

- I thought you said- - Forget what I said.

- Where did you see her? - Man! Do you really need me to spell it out for you?

Don't worry about Chloe. She's fine, all right?

You can just let me out here.

- There's nothin' here. - Just pull over, please.

Can you please tell me what's going on?

Please?

A friend of mine's in trouble. I needed to pick her up in a hurry.

This is the only way I could get to her quick enough.

[Panting]

[Grunts]

- Chloe. - Jack!

- Are you okay? - I'm fine. What's happening?

Why would anyone want to kill the people who know you're alive?

I don't know yet, but we're gonna find out.

I need to get access to C.T.U.'s archives from a secure location.

- Can you help me do that? - I can't do it from my laptop.

- Can you help me do that? - I can't do it from my laptop.

There's a research loft at Caltech. I can get us in.

Who's that?

I'll explain as soon as we're in the car.

I don't have a car. I took a cab.

Come on. Get in the helicopter. We gotta go.

Derek, get back in!

- Jack. - What?

It's them. How did they find me?

I don't think they ever lost you.

Come on. Come on.

What's goin' on, Frank? Who are they?

- What are we waiting for? Take off. - We're not at speed.

We're not gonna make it. Get out. Get out now and stay by the side of the helicopter!

Here! Take him and go into the refinery.

Find somewhere to hide. Move!

- I can't see a thing. - Double back. Cut him off.

- Right. - Go through the smoke and get him. I'm goin' around.

Go over here.

[Tires Screeching]

[Gunfire]

[Breathing Heavily]

Hold your fire, Chloe!

[Gasping]

Jack, what are you doing? Let's get outta here.

Chloe, take Derek and walk away. Walk away now!

At the rate you're bleedin' out, you're not gonna make it unless you get medical attention.

You tell me what I wanna know, and I'll get you to a hospital.

- Do you understand me? - [Groans]

- Do you understand me? - Yeah.

Four people knew I was alive. This morning, you tried to take 'em out.

Why?

Palmer was the primary- primary target.

They only cared about Palmer. The others werejust a diversion-

[Coughs] To set you up...

make it look like you did it.

- Why did they want to kill Palmer? - To keep him from talking.

- They had to shut him up. - What did he know?

I wasn't given that information. [Gasping]

Only hired... to take out the principal.

[Gasping]

You're the one that killed Palmer.

Yeah.

[Rhythmic Beeping]

- [Breathing Heavily] - Who's behind this?

[Moans] I got my orders through a closed site.

We never use names. You know that.

That's all I know. Take me to a hospital.

Yeah.

[Groaning]

[Beeping]
