- Yeah.
- Mark Hauser?

- Who's this?
- You know who it is.

- I already gave you what you asked for.
- But your employer has tightened security.

- So the access I paid for is no good.
- It'll take some time

- to download the new security protocols.
- I'll be there in 40 minutes.

Federal agent, get on the floor!

Hauser sold Gredenko security specs
for Edgemont nuclear power facility.

- Does Gredenko have them?
- He's picking them up in 20 minutes.

Hauser was wounded, but he's got a brother.
We're gonna use him for the transaction.

You look nervous, Brady.

All teams, take out your targets.

All teams, there's a third hostile
inside the vehicle.

You know who I am.

Then you know what I'm gonna do to you,
unless you tell me where the bombs are.

First, my terms.

Amnesty from your government
and a guarantee I won't be returned to Russia.

Nadia's being processed
as an enemy combatant.

I don't know if I can accept
that she betrayed us.

She spied for Fayed? I think we're wrong.

- I hear you and Nadia Yassir are friends.
- Yeah. Why do you ask?

I came across evidence at the switching
station that proves she's innocent.

You're cleared, Nadia.

Admiral, is the Vickery ready to launch?

- It's seconds from optimal launch position.
- Good.

Proceed with the strike.

Vice President Daniels is about to launch
a nuclear strike against the Middle East.

This strike is a complete reversal
of everything that he was working for.

You want Dr. Welton
to bring him out of the coma?

Yes.

It's for you, sir.

- Yes?
- I've called off the strike, Noah.

I'm resuming my duties
as commander in chief.

Inform Admiral Smith and the others there's
to be no action without my authorization.

It's apparent to me
the president is still suffering the effects

from the attack on his life.

I can't let him remain in power.

Get me the Attorney General.

- Should have live feed, sir.
- Secretary Dawes,

- can you see and hear me clearly?
- Yes, I can.

Secretary Durant
and Attorney General Graves?

- Connections are being set up.
- And the president?

He should be arriving any moment.

- What are you doing?
- I need to get up from this wheelchair.

- No, you need to take care of yourself.
- Sandra, I can't afford to look weak.

Roosevelt did just fine
from a wheelchair.

Listen, when I face Daniels,
I want to be on my feet.

- Dr. Welton?
- Yes, sir?

- Can you give me a shot of Adrenalin?
- Wayne.

I can. It'll raise your blood pressure,
which is not what you need right now.

The risk of...

- Mr. President? It is time.
- Give us a few minutes, please.

Excuse me, Mr. President.

- Mr. President...
- Just do it.

Now.

- What do you have, Jack?
- Gredenko offered us Fayed,

in exchange for immunity and a guarantee
that we won't extradite him back to Russia.

- Bill, I don't trust it. He rolled over too easy.
- What do you think his play is?

- I don't know yet.
- It's your call, Jack.

But you should know
what's happening in Washington.

- The president's regained consciousness.
- How is he?

Well enough. But Daniels is challenging him
under the 25th Amendment,

in large part so he can go ahead with
the nuclear strike against Fayed's country.

- Does he have a chance of winning?
- It's unclear.

But if Fayed detonates another bomb,
no one will be able to stand in Daniels' way.

If there's a challenge for the presidency,
the immunity agreement won't be binding.

Bill, you need to understand that I have
no intention of honoring this agreement.

Tell the Attorney General,
draw up the papers.

I'm calling him right now.

The president should be here momentarily.

- Mr. President.
- Mr. President.

Mr. President. I know
I speak for everyone here in saying

how very happy I am
to have you with us again.

Let's proceed.

As you know, an attempt was made
to assassinate the president.

He sustained injuries so serious that the
doctors had to induce a temporary coma

in order to relieve the pressure on his brain.
In so doing, they saved his life.

The question now is whether,
in the words of the 25th Amendment,

he is unable to discharge
the duties and powers of his office.

- Isn't this really a medical question?
- Well, to a degree it is.

But the 25th Amendment
puts the final decision

- squarely in the hands of the cabinet.
- May we hear medical testimony?

Yes. Let me bring in the surgeon
in charge of the president's case.

Dr. Welton, if you would, please.

The president has undergone an ordeal,
but from a medical point of view,

the greatest danger has passed. His
cognitive functions are presenting normally.

I have every expectation
that he will make a full recovery.

Might the pressures of the office
increase the chance of a relapse?

- It's difficult to say. It's certainly a possibility.
- Can you estimate those chances?

- No, I'm afraid I can't.
- If you had a vote, Doctor,

- how would you cast it?
- This is precisely the question

which the Constitution demands
that this cabinet answer.

Thank you very much, Doctor.

Mr. President, I think now
would be an appropriate time

- to address the cabinet, if you would, please.
- The vice president initiated this process

because I stopped him launching
a nuclear strike against the Middle East.

But this vote shouldn't be about policy.

According to the Constitution,
you're judging me

to see if I am unable
to discharge the duties of my office.

Well, as you can see,
and as you were just told by my physician,

I'm in complete possession of my faculties,
and so to remove me from this office

would be to betray both your oath
and the American people,

who voted me as their president.

Mr. Vice President?

Ladies and gentlemen of the cabinet,
the 25th Amendment is purposely vague

on how you're supposed to judge if the
president is unable to discharge his duties,

which is why this is very much about
the president's policies, and his actions.

Here are the facts:
when a second nuclear attack today

spread radiation over one of our major cities,

I decided it was necessary
to launch a retaliatory strike,

to show our enemies that if attacked,
we would make them share our pain.

Wayne Palmer's first act
upon regaining consciousness

was to stop that strike.

To respond to the attack by doing nothing.

In a time of war, the president must be
strong enough in body and mind

to defend this country.

And I'm afraid Wayne Palmer's actions
are the proof in this matter

that indeed he is unable
to discharge his duties.

All right. Time is of the essence,
so unless there is an objection,

I would like to recess and then reconvene
for your vote in ten minutes.

- Any word on the cabinet vote?
- No, they haven't come back yet.

Look, Milo, about what happened today.
Let's just put it behind us, OK?

Which part? The suspicion of terrorism,

or the other thing?

- The suspicion.
- And the other thing?

Let's not worry about it right now.
Let's try and get through the day.

OK.

I'm not gonna forget about the kiss,
and I don't think you are either.

- Nadia.
- It's Doyle. Don't say my name. Just listen.

I need you to come up to my office.
Don't say anything to anybody. Just come.

On my way.

Have a seat.

Look, I know you and I
got off to kind of a bad start.

"A bad start"? You assaulted me.

This country is under attack. We had reason
to believe there was a mole in this building.

Starting with you wasn't racist.
It was common sense.

- So you're not a racist, you're just a sadist.
- You don't know me.

I think I do.

- Why did you call me here?
- Turns out there was no mole.

The terrorists could hack into our system
'cause someone screwed up

and logged the wrong security parameters.

I'm pretty sure that someone was Milo,
and the proof is on his computer.

I need someone to get it
without him noticing.

I can't do that.

Why? Is it 'cause you're too busy deciding
if you wanna sleep with him?

Listen, if you don't get the evidence for me,
I'm gonna call a forensics team

and they'll tear his system apart
as the entire floor watches.

And if they find
what I think they'll find,

everyone gets to watch Milo
hauled out of this building in handcuffs.

I'm sure it wasn't pleasant when it happened
to you, but you're gonna stand by

and watch it happen to him?
That's your idea of being a friend?

So you want me
to betray him for his own good?

I promise you, Milo will be better off
if you help me than if you don't.

Your call.

If the cabinet sides with you,
what will you do about Daniels?

The Constitution does not allow the president
to fire his vice president.

- But you can marginalize him.
- She's right. Get him out of the bunker.

I'd love to, but Daniels
has way too many supporters,

and I can't afford
to alienate any one of them right now.

Besides, I'd rather have him somewhere
where I can keep an eye on him.

- Mr. President? The cabinet's reconvening.
- Thank you.

All right, let's go.

Please, sit down.

Right. Ladies and gentlemen of the cabinet,
let us now begin the vote.

Will those of you who believe that President
Palmer is able to discharge his duties

please, at this time, raise your hand?

Do we have any abstentions?

The vote is seven to seven.

Mr. Attorney General,
what would be the next step?

Well, there's no need for a next step.

The Amendment requires that the vice
president and a majority of the cabinet agree.

There is no majority in the cabinet, it's split
evenly. President Palmer remains in office.

It's not that simple.
One of the cabinet votes is invalid.

- Sir, which vote is not valid?
- National security advisor.

- What do you mean?
- She resigned.

- I resumed my duties.
- I don't agree.

I've seen no evidence
that you've been reinstated.

That is ridiculous. I sat here with you in
a cabinet meeting less than one hour ago!

Ms. Hayes, allowing you
to sit in on the meeting

isn't equivalent to formally recognizing you
as national security advisor!

In fact, I did not and do not so recognize you.

- Oh, my God.
- And if Ms. Hayes' vote is invalid,

then the tally's seven to six in favor
of invoking the 25th Amendment

and removing President Palmer from power.

I'm sorry, Wayne.

Noah, don't waste your apologies on me,
because I won't let you steal the presidency.

- That's not gonna happen.
- Then what do you suggest?

- The country has to be governed.
- I would suggest, sir,

- that this is properly a matter for the courts.
- I concur.

- We don't have time to go to...
- Mr. Vice President, if I may.

I agree with Mr. Lennox.
This is a legal question.

The Supreme Court was in session
this afternoon. We can recall it,

and have them render a decision
regarding the validity of the vote.

The matter could be resolved
in under an hour.

Thank you, Attorney General Graves.
Get the process started and keep us advised.

I think this meeting is concluded.

- Get my affidavit started.
- Yeah.

Tom.

You know something?
I'm beginning to think you're not on my side.

Sir, I'm on the side
of the United States of America,

and if you ever thought otherwise,
you're very much mistaken.

Gredenko's attorney approved
the immunity agreements.

Yeah, we're just waiting for digital signatures.

All right. I'll inform the Attorney General's
office it's on its way. Thank you.

- Milo.
- What's up?

I'm having a problem. My station keeps
telling me to refresh the system credentials.

It's the hardware codes. You have to
reset them. I can take care of it.

Thanks.

- You OK?
- Yeah.

You were right. Milo forgot
to refresh the security parameters.

The breach was his fault. So when you tell
District, they can fire and maybe arrest him.

Which is why I'm going to alter the log
so they'll never know.

This should work, as long as
they haven't changed the password.

There. It's done.

- Why did you do that?
- All I care about is finding those nukes.

We have a better chance of doing that with
Milo on board, whether he likes me or not.

"And mankind is naught but a single nation."

- You've read the Koran?
- And the Bible. And the Upanishads.

Anything I can get my hands on.

You're lucky, you've found your answers.
I'm looking for mine.

I'd better get ready to deploy.

- What did Doyle want?
- Nothing. Just reviewing some data sets.

There you go. Your system's back up.

Thanks.

- Buchanan.
- Hi, it's me.

- How did the cabinet vote go?
- It was a tie,

which in effect means
that Palmer is still in office.

- That's good. That's what we wanted.
- Daniels is contesting the vote.

- He's saying that mine is invalid.
- Based on what?

Based on the fact that I resigned,
and I was never officially reinstated.

That's ridiculous. You attended meetings.
You had no replacement assigned.

I know, but maybe he's right, Bill.
I did hand in my resignation.

Which was rescinded before it was
officially accepted. Daniels knows that.

- He's grasping at straws, Karen.
- I'm so scared, Bill.

If he wins, this will all be my fault.

Stop, stop.

It's desperate maneuvering on his part,
Karen, nothing more.

He hasn't got a case.
And the Supreme Court will agree.

Well, we're giving our arguments
in 15 minutes.

- Call me as soon as the decision is in.
- Thank you for being there.

You don't have to thank me.
It's my job.

I miss you so much.

I miss you too.

- I'll talk to you soon.
- Bye.

Good. My attorney
has verified the agreements.

- We're set. Gredenko's ready to make the call.
- We're standing by.

Doyle's got a team ready to go as soon
as Fayed tells Gredenko where to meet him.

You try and warn Fayed
with anything you say, or how you say it,

- and I will kill you right here, right now.
- I believe you, Agent Bauer.

Make the call.

- Yes?
- It's me.

- Do you have the security protocols?
- Yes. Where do you want to meet?

- Are you sure you're not under surveillance?
- Of course.

- Do you think I'd be calling you otherwise?
- I can't allow another mistake

to disrupt my plans
for the remaining two devices.

- Do you want the protocols or not?
- Where are you right now?

Culver City.

Meet me at the Santa Monica pier
in ten minutes.

- It may take me more time.
- I won't wait.

- Where do I find you?
- Just be there.

I'll find you.

Give him the phone. Bill, how long will it take
Doyle's team to make it to the pier?

- He's about 30 minutes out.
- We'll make do with Ryan's team.

Put him in the vehicle.

Instructions from the Supreme Court.

Our arguments have to be submitted
in writing in the next ten minutes.

Sandra's working on our brief.
How's it coming?

I'm just about finished.

We have a strong case. You resigned, and
Daniels was in charge when you returned.

So the legal question is,
did he consent to your reinstatement?

Of course he did.

And he made no objections
when you returned to the bunker,

and he never questioned
your right to be there?

No, he didn't.

His own actions prove our case.

Thank you. For everything, Sandra.

My affidavit explains everything - that
I never really intended to reinstate Karen,

letting her perform her duties temporarily,

therefore she had no authority
to cast a vote under the 25th Amendment.

Problem is, after she returned, you treated her
as if she still were national security advisor.

It's a question
of my state of mind, though, isn't it?

Yes. And your state of mind
will be inferred from your actions.

Doesn't sound like you think
our chances are very good.

I don't.

Then I am deeply afraid for our country.

When the world sees that Wayne Palmer
isn't willing to fight back,

our enemies will be encouraged, these
recent attacks will be just the beginning.

America will be vulnerable
in a way it never has been.

There may be a way

to illuminate your state of mind
more explicitly.

I can swear an affidavit that earlier today
you told me to inform Karen Hayes

you had no intention of reinstating her,
but you'd let her perform her duties

on a temporary basis only.

Then Wayne regained consciousness before
I could have that conversation with her.

You'd be perjuring yourself
in front of the Supreme Court.

I'm aware that it's perjury.

But the end justifies the means.

My affidavit will push the court
to rule in your favor so that you can do

what's right for this country.

You're right.

Do it.

Prepare your affidavit.

And, Lisa...

Thank you.

Yes, sir.

Hasim, Hasan, with me.

I'm meeting Gredenko.
I'll be back within the hour.

And if you're not?

Are you worried for me, Halil?
Or just anxious to take my place?

I think we're wasting time. We have
the bombs. We should use them right now.

Gredenko's information will enable us to
inflict damage across half of California.

There's other targets out there
will result in large amount of casualty

- without the additional risk.
- I've made my decision.

Let's go.

Come in.

Mr. Vice President,
I need to speak with you alone.

There is something in this room
you need to know about, sir.

"Something in this room"?
What are you talking about?

This small object here
is a microtransmitter.

After you directed me to lie to the
ambassador about the assassination attempt,

I decided it was time to protect myself.

Now it turns out I was
protecting the country as well.

Be careful, Tom.

Be very careful what you try to do here.

Actually, sir, you are the one
who needs to be careful here.

I'm aware that it's perjury.
But the end justifies the means.

My affidavit will push the court
to rule in your favor so that you can do

- what's right for this country.
- You're right.

Do it. Prepare your affidavit.

Turn it off.

As I'm sure you're aware, sir,

conspiracy to commit perjury
is a felony offence.

Now, I strongly urge you to pick up
that phone and call the Supreme Court.

You tell them that you have withdrawn
your affidavit and that of Miss Miller as well.

Tell them you support
the vote of the Cabinet,

that you have no further objections to
President Palmer continuing his presidency.

You do understand that I'm just
trying to do what's right for this country.

Well, so am I, sir.

Are you going to make that call now, sir?

Karen, I need the launch protocols
the joint chiefs set up with Daniels,

- and chain-of-command signing.
- They just came from the Pentagon.

Everything is in place. If the court sides with
you, you can cancel the strike permanently.

I also want an update on the situation
with Fayed. Has CTU made any progress?

Yes, they have Gredenko in custody.

Bill said they were gonna use him
to lure Fayed out in the open.

- Who's running it?
- Jack Bauer.

- Good.
- Wayne. The Supreme Court was just notified

Daniels withdrew his suit.

- What?
- It's over.

He gave up before the court
had a chance to make its decision.

- Why?
- I don't know.

I just know that you're still
the President of the United States.

Let the Cabinet know I won't take any action
against those who sided with Daniels.

Yes, sir.

Oh, and Karen? Tell Bill I want him
to keep me up to date on CTU's progress.

- Yes, sir?
- Melinda...

- Tell Dr. Welton I need to see him, please.
- Certainly.

I don't have a visual yet, but Fayed won't
show himself until he sees Gredenko.

- Ryan, what's your status with Gredenko?
- I've got the audio transmitter set up.

Preparing the tracker now.

Roll up your left sleeve.

- What's his range?
- We can track up to 15 miles.

Copy that.

- Is it radioactive?
- Yes.

It penetrates into the bone.
It's got a half-life of about 11 hours,

so forget about digging it out
or making a run for it.

- He's good to go.
- Bill, how far out is Doyle's team?

- About 20 minutes.
- We can't wait.

Fayed was clear about his time line.
Ryan, send in Gredenko.

Gredenko's moving now.

I'm getting a clean audio signal
from the transmitter on Gredenko.

And we are locked on the isotope signature
that's being emitted from Gredenko's arm.

Hello?

Hello?

I have the gain on Gredenko's transmitter up
all the way. There's no one on the other end.

He's reading something off his phone.
It's a text message.

Fayed's made contact. Everyone get ready.
Gredenko is heading south.

I'm moving in.

- Milo, have you got him on the tracker?
- Yeah. He's still moving.

I'm heading in. I'm gonna follow him.

I've lost audio signal.
I'm going to secondary channel.

- There's no audio on the secondary channel.
- But he hasn't moved.

I don't like it. Something's wrong.

- You led them to me.
- I had no choice.

But if you listen to me,
we'll both get away from here alive.

Hasim.

Which direction, Milo?
I'm nearing the south end of the pier.

That's where he stopped
and entered the building on the left.

- Is he still inside the room?
- Yes. He's right on the other side of the door.

I'm going in.

Milo, no one's in here.

Jack, the tracker's showing the signal
right there in the room with you.

My God!

They cut off Gredenko's arm!
Ryan, move your men in now!

Hold on. I've picked up his blood trail.

Fayed, their men will be coming
from the west side parking lot.

We should go this way.

Ryan, circle back to the east side of the pier.
Try and cut 'em off.

I want Fayed alive.

- Ryan, you got anything?
- Negative.

- How far out is Doyle's team?
- 20 minutes.

Have him set up a perimeter
as soon as he gets here.

- Ryan, where are you? I'm pinned down.
- Moving towards you now.

Show me your head.

The same terrorist cell is most likely
responsible for the explosion in Valencia...

- We're trapped.
- This way.

..and the assassination attempt
on President Palmer.

- That's him!
- What?

I recognize him from the news!
It's the terrorist they're looking for!

- Terrorist?
- That is him.

You bastard.

Federal agent!

I am a federal agent. I'm taking this man
into custody. Now back off!

- Back off!
- He shot my friend.

We'll get him medical attention.
Just stay back.

- I hope your friend is dead.
- Shut up!

Everybody out of the bar now! Move!

Ryan, this is Jack. Gredenko is not here.
Lock down the area, initiate a search.

We have two men down. One is a civilian,
the other is Fayed. He's in custody.

- I need medical up here now.
- All right, Jack. Good work.

Nadia, get me the president, please.

I understand you're weak. More Adrenalin
will raise your blood pressure even higher,

to the point where we know
there'll be vascular damage.

- That's a risk I'm willing to take.
- Your wellbeing is my responsibility.

And my responsibility
is the wellbeing of this country,

so give me another dose
or I will find someone else who will.

Mr. President? Bill Buchanan on line one.

I'll take it.

Thank you, Arthur.

Yes, sir.

- Bill?
- I'm calling to tell you

- that Jack has Fayed in custody.
- What about the bombs?

We haven't finished the scan yet. We can't
confirm the bombs are in the vicinity.

Jack is going to interrogate Fayed
as soon as possible.

There's no way of knowing
how successful that will be, right?

- No, sir.
- All right, Bill. That's what I wanted to know.

Thank you, sir.

The case was withdrawn. The court
has no reason to retain the documents.

They should be sealed and returned to me
immediately. Good. Thank you.

I was thinking that maybe
it's time to declare a truce.

OK. Well, maybe it is.

I know we both want the same thing
for this country, what's good for the country.

We just don't always agree on the means.

I would love to go forward
without the threats and the intimidation.

Done.

Good. One more thing.

Do you know why the vice president
withdrew his suit from the Supreme Court?

No. I've no idea. Why?

One of my aides saw you with him
before it was announced.

I guess just put this down
to happy coincidence.

For now. But someday
I'd love to know the real story.

OK. Someday.

Lennox.

He... This cannot be.
This has gotta be some mistake.

I'm on my way.

- President Palmer.
- What?

He's about to go ahead
with the nuclear strike.

Mr. President?

If I may, sir. I understand
you're about to launch the very strike

we just prevented Vice President Daniels
from launching.

- That's right.
- This makes no sense, sir.

- It's what you risked your life to stop!
- I risked my life to reassert my authority.

Vice President Daniels calling me weak.
Even you thought the same thing.

I implore you, sir, do not mistake
being reckless with being strong.

- I am done talking.
- Mr. President.

- We have a successful launch.
- Good.
