The following takes place between midnight and 1 a .m. on the day of the

California presidential primary.

Events occur in real time.

Identify. Victor Rovner requesting permission to transmit.

Log in.

Permission granted.

This is Walsh. Sir, we've just heard from Rovner. He confirmed that there

be an attempt today.

Did he find out who the target is?

Senator David Palmer.

As soon as the polls open, we'll worry about it.

Senator Palmer seems poised for a... I'm just trying to confirm... I hate you.

On this historic occasion... Well, it is an historic occasion, sir.

It's self -serving to say it.

I want to stay low -key.

Wrong.

Play it up, inspire people.

Honey, what do you think?

I, uh, agree with Patty.

Okay, but not occasion. Sounds like we're having brunch.

Uh, on this historic day?

Deal.

You going to bed?

How can I sleep?

No, I'm going to write a few thank yous, and you call me if you need me.

Thank you, Angie.

You're in trouble, Dad.

Yeah. So, is she still giving you the cold shoulder?

If by she you're referring to your mother, I'd appreciate it if you'd call

by her name, Mom.

And no, she's just busy.

She's busy a lot.

And it's a school night for you, so time for bed.

I'm glad you moved back in, Daddy.

Me too, sweet.

Have a good sleep.

Let's open.

Yeah.

She still giving you a hard time?

I think she played me for you moving out.

Well, I never gave her any reason to.

Maybe not.

I think you let her manipulate you, Jack.

No, I don't.

Let me guess. Just now she was all sweetness and light, right? And then she

something nasty about me? Yeah, and I just busted her up.

The way you're taking this so personal, it's just that mother -teenage -daughter

thing.

Hey.

Maybe we should talk to her right now.

You know, if you can't play us off each other, and if she's insulting you, she's

insulting me too.

Okay.

Good. I really appreciate that.

So you just said that you appreciate that.

Do you mean you kind of appreciate it? I really appreciate it.

You really, really appreciate it.

Jim.

Jim?

Honey?

Jim!

She snuck in on me.

She's grounded for two months, no exceptions.

So you can forget about getting your driver's license.

Hello? Yeah,

he's right here.

Nina.

What?

Hey, Nina.

Now? No, no, I can't.

Yeah.

Okay, fine.

Get a hold of the others and bring them in.

Yeah, okay, bye.

It's Wall. She's coming into the office. He wants everybody in as soon as

possible.

It's only a briefing. I should be back within an hour.

She's not here when I get back.

We'll call all her friends, everyone we know, until we find out where the hell

she's gone, okay?

Okay.

Vincent, Zach Bauer.

Are you planning on seeing Kimberly tonight?

No, man, we broke up. You know that.

Yeah, I just want to make sure you know that.

Knock out on you, huh?

Don't screw with me, Vincent.

Chill, man, look.

I don't know where she's at. You got my word.

That's a real comfort, Vincent.

Knowing that, I've got your word.

at a furniture store.

Dan works there.

When are we supposed to be there?

Midnight. We're late.

Yeah, they'll wait.

Sure about that?

Well, you told them I'm hot, right? And you're hot, so they'll wait.

Dan's a sophomore at San Diego State.

Hey, he told me that.

So is Rick.

I mean, they're not just, you know, a bunch of high school idiots.

And your point is, they're men.

Not boy.

Good, I'm glad to hear it. Really?

Yeah.

CTU, this is Miles.

Jack, what exactly did Walsh say?

Just bring everyone in, no details.

Why does this have to be tonight?

Problems at home?

I'm almost there, I'll see you in a few.

No, we can take it.

Why, are we interrupting your social life?

I have one.

Honey.

Called Langley?

Sure did.

Called the Bureau, too.

Nobody knows anything.

Jack on his way? Yeah.

Unfortunately for us, the mood he's in.

Did you hear from Kim yet?

No.

I was thinking we should try and remember what it was like when we were

you know?

Different world now, Jack. Yeah, I know.

Hey,

Paul. Listen, I was talking to Denise the other day, and she and Steve took

Nikki to a therapist, and they said it really helped.

Maybe we should think about that.

Yeah, well, maybe.

We can talk about it when I get home.

Honey, I'm already here.

Let me give you a call back in a little while.

Who's here?

Everyone. We're just waiting for Walt.

I've activated a satellite uplink in case he needs one. Okay, good. Tony, I

detailed background on everyone on David Palmer's staff now.

Why? Because I think this is about him and I want us to be prepared.

Bad time to play, huh?

If it leaks out that we're screening Senator Palmer, people might think it's

because he's black.

Well, it is because he's black.

It makes him the most likely target.

You're saying it might not be interpreted that way on the outside. I

how it's interpreted on the outside. I just gave you an order and I'd like you

to follow it, please.

Good, thank you.

Let me know as soon as Waltz gets here. I've got to make a phone call.

Hi. You must be Rick.

I must be.

Jan said you guys like to party.

As a matter of fact, yeah.

As a matter of fact, me too.

Glad to hear it.

Let's get this party started.

Detective Costolo, please.

Yeah.

Frank.

Yeah, it's Jack Bauer on the CTU.

Look, this is kind of embarrassing, but my daughter Kimberly snuck out of the

house, and she's not come back yet. I was wondering if we sent her vitals

if you guys could keep an eye out for her.

Yeah, no, I'm sure she's okay. Yeah, no, that'd be great.

Frank, thanks a lot. I owe you. Bye.

We have reason to believe that by the end of the

day, an attempt will be made on David Palmer's life.

How good's his security?

Very good. Maybe not good enough to handle what's coming at him today.

A shooter, well -funded from overseas.

What foreign power wants Palmer dead?

Probably none.

Most likely a domestic hate group hired someone from out of the country.

It's harder to trace.

Check the background of everyone around Palmer. Cross it with terrorist

databases. Start now.

Okay, we're on it. Let's go.

Jack.

I'll be right with you.

How you doing?

I can't complain.

Can't or won't?

Things better at home?

Yeah.

What I'm about to tell you doesn't leave this room.

Fine.

There may be an element inside the agency involved with the hit on Palmer.

For the next 24 hours, I want you all over this. You're going to be

with every division in the region. I am the last person on the face of this

planet that you want to bring something like this to. I don't agree.

Richard.

I built a case against three of our own agents and busted them for taking

bribes. If there's a conspiracy in the agency to kill David Palmer, I'll never

get anywhere near it. Well, you'll have to, Jack.

Because you're the only guy that I can trust.

If Palmer gets hit, the first African -American with a real shot at the White

House.

It'll tear this country apart.

I'll look into it. I'll do the best I can. Good.

Good.

George Mason is coming over from Division to give you a more detailed

on Palmer.

You think I should trust George Mason?

Not until we get a better handle on things.

Don't trust anybody.

Not even your own people.

We've got to find a shooter, Jack.

Whatever it takes.

Excuse me.

How much longer till we land in Los Angeles?

12 .20, just over an hour.

Thank you.

Brooke's here.

Hey, Martin, how you doing?

It's the talk.

I'm very well, Patty. I'm landing in one hour.

Are we still on for breakfast?

Meet Secret Service in the lobby at 7, and they'll take care of you.

Will Senator Palmer be at the breakfast?

You bet.

Good.

I'll see you then, huh?

Bye, thanks.

Um, excuse me.

So, you know David Palmer?

Not yet. I am meeting him tomorrow.

We've been sitting here this whole time making small talk and you never even

mentioned it.

I'm going to be taking a few pictures of him.

Are you... You're a photographer.

Have I... Have I ever seen one of your photographs?

What's next?

George Mason's going to be here in a couple of minutes.

And he's going to brief me.

You, not us?

You can't shut me up, Jack.

Not here.

It's Walsh. He wants me to meet Mason alone.

Why? He didn't say.

You're lying.

Yes, I am.

But you're still going to have to trust me.

One of these days, you're going to ask her too much.

I'm terribly afraid that day's going to be that day.

Yeah. Hi, it's me.

Did you hear anything?

No.

What's wrong?

I found three joints in her desk.

Terrific. I know it's not the end of the world, but I don't like it.

I don't either.

Maybe you can get into her email, check her messages or something.

I gave her her own password to show that we trusted her, remember?

I'm so sorry that I can't be there with you right now.

Look, I can't really talk right now. Let me call you back, okay?

Okay. Okay, bye.

Everything okay?

Yeah.

When I got into San Diego State, I figured, what the hell? Give college a

Do you live near the beach?

Yeah.

Do you surf?

Surfing's way too motivated.

You gotta get wet, there's sharks, you gotta call everybody dude.

Why? Oh, no reason.

My dad surfs.

Surfed. He doesn't anymore? He's too old?

My father's dead.

Hey, my bad.

It's okay, it was just...

Really great guy. And then six months ago.

I'm sorry.

I'm over it.

Getting over it is hard, but I am.

Good to see you. Come on in.

What must the walls tell you down there?

Not much.

Palmer's the target.

Shooter's the real deal.

That's about it.

I can narrow it down for you a little bit if you like.

Please do.

We think the shooter's European, probably German, and that he's either

already or he's coming today.

This will get you into secured data nationwide, see if it clicks with

you already have.

Who's the source on this?

That I can't give you.

Because? Because I'm not authorized to.

Well, George, how can I cross -check the data if I don't know where the original

information's coming from?

What do you know about Palmer's politics?

You know he's no friend of the agency, right?

If he gets elected, this place gets gutted.

What are you trying to say?

I'm not saying anything.

Saying do your job and stay out of what doesn't concern you.

Fair enough.

Good. Then we're done.

George.

I need a favor.

I need you to call your boss and ask him to give me clearance on the

identification of this source.

I thought we just agreed that it didn't matter.

Yeah, but I've still got to call Walsh and tell him that I did everything I

could. I would like to cover my own ass.

Jack, you're finally learning how to play the game.

Sure, I'll call some fella for you.

Use your boat? Please do.

You want a cup of coffee?

No, I'm good.

Thanks.

I want to hear Mason's call.

Yeah, yeah, I'm talking to my boss, Jack.

Right, you stupid chump.

What do you mean?

He's screwing with us.

Give me that binder.

What? The binder. Give me the binder.

We need to talk about this.

City rats officially covered. Chappelle said no.

You

are

out of your mind.

Mason's holding something back. I need some bargaining power. How are you going

to get it?

Remember Philippe Darcet?

Heroin dealer Barcelona?

Yeah.

Mason was the point man on his bus last August.

When they rolled up Darcey's asset, $200 ,000 was missing.

I always thought it fell into Mason's pockets.

Now I need proof.

You're going to blackmail a district director?

I want you to check Darcey's accounts.

You can access them through the secured files.

Use this.

Nina, he's going to wake up in half an hour or less.

Palmer's lending intelligence, political courage, hard work, and fun.

Hello. I'm really sorry to bother you at this hour. My name is Alan York. I

found this number in my daughter's calendar.

Who's your daughter? Janet. Janet York.

Do you have a son or a... Daughter. Kimberly.

She snuck out of the house. Is Janet gone too? Yes. I bet they're together.

Any idea where they might be?

None. Did Janet say anything?

She was gone when I came home from work.

Can I give you my number in case you hear anything?

Oh, yeah, of course.

I've got Darcy's account number.

Good. It's encrypted. I can't get around it.

Ask Tony to do it.

He'll need a reason.

If he thinks he's doing it for me, not if he's doing it for you.

I'm surprised you noticed.

I noticed.

Well, you shouldn't have.

Tony, I need you to do something for me. For you or for Jack?

I need you to get into this account.

What does Philippe Darce's bank account have to do with David Palmer?

We don't know yet.

We're trying to pick up a thread.

Interesting, because I've been trying to pick up a thread of my own.

About what?

Whether you're still sleeping with Jack.

Who says I ever did?

When have you seen him?

He turned into his own people, for Christ's sake. They were dirty.

Oh.

He's Mr. Clean, huh?

Yes, he is.

Look, we don't have a lot of time. Will you help me out here?

Please.

See what I can find.

I'll see what I can find.

If I give you a phone number, could you hack in and get all the internet

passwords connected to it?

Sure, if you have a warrant.

And if I didn't have a warrant?

It's important.

It's pretty important.

Hey, it's me.

I got her password.

What is it?

Life sucks, one word.

Perfect.

So, um, are you gonna be around this weekend?

I could be.

Be?

Where are they?

I don't know.

Did you ever meet Princess Di?

Yeah, but I never took her picture.

What was she like?

She was cool.

Can I, um... Can I see one of your photographs?

My photograph?

Yeah.

How about this one right here?

Very beautiful.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Finish the speech?

Oh, taking a break.

The guys got tired of me yelling at them.

Big old grumpy bear.

Oh, how you doing?

Fine. Just a few dozen more to go.

You don't have to do these yourself.

Personal touch never hurts.

Sure doesn't. Yes, yes, yes, yes.

Sir?

Phone call, Senator. It's Maureen Kingsley from the network.

Come on, Patty. It's after midnight.

She says it's urgent.

Maureen, this better be good.

Can I get you some coffee or anything?

Thank you, Patty.

My response?

Here's my response.

You air that allegation or anything remotely like it,

This conversation's over, Maria.

That'll be all, Patty.

Sweetheart, what was it?

Just more media nonsense.

Not important.

Didn't sound not important.

Since when don't we talk about things?

This is Richard Walsh. It's Tom. Leave a message.

Richard, it's Jack.

Call me back. It's important.

I thought you wanted to get your life back together.

Make things right with your family.

You think this is helping?

He's got information that I need.

What information?

Never mind.

You can't tell me. Fine. But, Jack, if Tony doesn't find anything, you could

up in jail. Probably.

Then what are you doing?

Jack, answer me.

Nina, you can look the other way once, and it's no big deal.

Except it makes it easier for you to compromise the next time. And pretty

that's all you're doing is compromising because that's how you think things are

done.

You know those guys I blew the whistle on? You think they were the bad guys?

Because they weren't. They weren't bad guys. They were just like you and me.

Except they compromised once.

Tony's coming along.

Thank you.

Hello?

Hi, it's Terry Bauer.

Oh, hi. Have you heard anything?

Well, yeah. I broke into Kim's email. Janet sent her one this morning. They're

meeting two guys somewhere in the valley.

Did you get an address?

Yep, I'm going right now.

Would you mind if I came along? I'm getting a little stir -crazy just

around here.

All right.

I'm leaving right now.

Tell me where you live.

Where are we going now?

Wasn't there supposed to be a party at Lacey's?

Anybody got a phone? I'll call.

Yeah, I do.

I gotta go home.

Why?

My mother left five messages.

Run home to mommy.

Hey, her father just died, okay?

Maybe her mother needs her.

Your father?

Shut up.

Whatever.

I don't want to go home.

But... We'll drop you off, okay?

Yeah.

So what's your name?

Martin.

I'm Mandy.

Maybe we can get together in our own alley or something.

I'm going to be pretty busy.

See ya.

Yeah, I got into the Darcey account.

You said you wanted it?

Thank you. Send it to my screen.

All right.

Wake up.

Sit down.

Who's the source?

Who tipped us on the Palmer hit?

Last August, when you led the takedown of Philippe Darce, all his assets were

transferred to a custodial account in Langley, Virginia.

$200 ,000 fell out along the way.

I traced that money to an offshore account in Aruba.

I got a funny feeling about that account, George.

I think it's yours.

Yeah, well, that's a lie.

Good.

Then you won't mind if I send Chef Hal the information.

What's up, George?

no idea what you're getting yourself into here.

Why don't you explain it to me?

You've got five seconds.

Wait.

There's your source.

help, George.

You'll live to regret this, Bauer. I promise you that.

Ma 'am, we're about to land. If you could please...

Would you please remain in your seat? I lost my wallet.

Hey, it's me.

Turn left at the light.

What? I'm in a car with Alan York. He's the father of one of Kimberly's friends,

Janet. What are you talking about?

Kim got an email this morning from Janet York, and we think that they might be

out together.

Where? I don't know yet. They're meeting some guys in the valley.

Wait a second.

You're going to the valley with this guy, Alan York?

What are you going to do if she's not there?

We haven't thought that far ahead yet. I'll call...

Period. Hey.

Hi. Could you do me a favor and get your cover for me?

Sure.

Okay, forward all my calls to my cell phone. I'll be back as soon as I can.

Jack.

What?

A 747 just blew up over the Mojave Desert.

Preliminary reports make it sound like it was a bomb.

Passenger list, get me Walsh on the phone now.

Oh, turn here. I live on 10th.

Dan, I just told you that I... Why don't you just relax?

Can you please tell him that he missed the turn?

You heard him.

Relax.

The night's just getting started.

Thank you. Thank

you.
