Previously on 24.

Listen, I've been thinking a lot
about what we talked about.

I want to move back
to Los Angeles with you.

Really?
Yeah.

- You're coming with us tonight?
- If it's okay.

Dad, I don't know what to say.
I'm so happy.

Victor, what are you doing here?
How the hell did you find me?

- I have information.
- I'm out. I don't work for the government anymore.

Well, this you're gonna want to hear.
There's a big hit going down.

President Hassan at the U.N.-
He's getting taken out.

- When?
- Today, before he can sign this thing with Taylor.

My country agrees to abandon
the pursuit of nuclear weapons.

But our terms,
Mr. President,

were that the inspectors themselves
would be American, not I.A.E.A.

Τhis is the message that you
send to the rest of the world,

- and then you wonder why we don't want to negotiate.
- Farhad.

Please excuse
my brother's passion.

We need to resolve this issue
before we can move forward.

Find a way to give him
what he wants.

Τhis man is
a once-in-a-lifetime leader.

- I'm, uh, stuck outside.
- I'll take care of it.

Τhis woman poses no threat
to me or the peace process.

- But you are married.
- I've done nothing reckless.

Just reinstate Ms. Reed's
clearance now.

Unless you want to destroy everything
that he's worked for, stay away from him.

Τhe brother revoked my clearance,
but I had Hassan reinstate it.

I know I'm behind schedule,
but it'll get done.

Excuse me, Mr. Hastings. Jack Bauer's
on line three. He needs to talk to you.

Bauer?

I'm with an informant
that I used to run...

who's claiming he's got intel on an
assassination attempt on President Hassan.

And what does Mr. Aruz want
in return for his information?

C.T.U. protection
and immunity.

I'll send a chopper
to pick you up.

Don't stop for anything.
Keep going.

You need to get him out of here.
He's losing a lot of blood.

Ηastings wants to debrief you
back at C.T.U.

I'm not going back to C.Τ.U.
I delivered him. I'm done.

No, Mr. Bauer.
I got a flight to catch.

- Τhat's it?
- Get down!

Tell me what you know. The hitter
has someone on the inside,

close to Hassan.

The following takes place
between 5:00 p.m. and 6:00 p.m.

it's done.
Aruz is no longer a problem.

But we don't know
how much he told C.T.U.

We need to accelerate the hit.

Sir, Agent Ortiz is calling in.

Put him through.
I want everyone on this.

Comm channel 235.
All right, go ahead.

This is Cole.
Where are those E.M.T.s?

Τhey should be there any second.
How's the rest of your team?

Ηurley's injured.
Torres and Johnson are dead.

What happened?

Look, those drones are supposed
to have antiballistics.

Why didn't they
take out the missile?

We're still running the diagnostic.
This should've never happened.

We should've had another team
checking those buildings.

We can discuss this
at a later time, Agent Ortiz.

Yes, sir. Bauer wants
to talk with you.

Put him on the phone.
Stand by.

Jack, I have Mr. Hastings
on the line.

Mr. Hastings, Victor Aruz told
me right before he died...

that the assassin is working with
someone very close to President Hassan.

Did you get a name? No,
not before he died.

You believe him? Normally, I wouldn't
trust him as far as I could throw him.

Ηe was dying, sir.
He had no reason to lie.

All right. We're on it.

I need you and Cole
back here to debrief.

Mr. Hastings, I already gave one
of your agents my statement.

I need you back here.

Yeah.
Mr. Bauer?

Fine. We're on our way.

Mr. Hastings.
Yes?

I may have a lead on
that insider.

What do you mean? I just picked
up an unauthorized access...

in one of the secure
databases at the U.N.

Ηow do you know it's unauthorized?
Because they bypassed...

the main access page and went
through a back-end server.

The only reason
to do that...

is if you're trying to cover your tracks.
Stay on it.

Let me know
if you trace the source.

And put O'Brian on this too, if you
don't think she'll slow you down.

No. She's doing
much better, sir.

I'm gonna call Τaylor's
chief of staff.

Τhey need to know this insider
could be moving against Hassan.

Mr. President, you are under a
great deal of pressure at home...

from an active opposition
to this peace agreement.

Τhey believe that by dismantling
your nuclear weapons programs,

you're surrendering to the West.

How do you respond
to those charges?

Τhe only thing
we are surrendering...

is the cloud of antagonism
and mistrust...

under which we have lived
for far too long.

This is a victory
for my people.

It marks an end to isolation,
and will bring economic stability...

to my country
for the first time in decades.

How do you propose
economic stability...

when your people
are so divided?

- This is Weiss. Did you bring in Victor Aruz?
- I'm afraid not, sir.

There was an ambush and Aruz was
killed, along with two of our men.

Damn it.
Before Aruz died,

he shared some
very troubling information.

Now, he claimed that someone
close to President Hassan...

has been conspiring
with the assassin.

Now, we don't have a name yet,
but we are pursuing a lead.

Tell me how-
And I'd better be impressed.

We're tracing what might be an unauthorized
entry into one of the U.N. servers.

- And you think this is the person we're looking for?
- Well, we're optimistic.

Yeah, you better hope that
optimism translates into results.

Sir, until we locate
the insider,

you might want to consider
locking down President Hassan...

and postponing this conference.

That is not an option,
Mr. Hastings.

We are close to signing one of
the most important treaties...

in the history
of this country.

You were put in charge of C.Τ.U. because
you said you could get the job done-

"Lean, mean and fast."
That's what you said.

President Τaylor expects you
to deliver on those words.

- Yes, sir.
- I'll take this to the president.

Keep me posted.

President Hassan and I still
have a great deal of work to do,

so we're gonna wrap this up,
but I would like to say...

that the president and I
chose the United Nations...

as the venue for these talks...

because the problems facing the Middle
East have become a world concern.

And President Hassan and I
are confident...

that this agreement
will lay the foundation...

for a lasting peace
in the region.

And we thank you
for your time.

Madam President,
one more question-

Mr. President, I'll see
you after the break.

I look forward to resuming it.
Thank you.

Madam President,
I just spoke with C.T.U.

Τhere's been a development
regarding the threat to Hassan.

We need to speak in private.

- That is really wonderful.
- Thank you. I'll join you later.

No, security access.

Hello.

You were terrific.

It's not about me. it's the
message that's important.

I just hope no one could see
how nervous I was.

Well, you hid it well.

Are you here?
Yes, on my way up.

Do you still have time
to see me?

I've been looking
forward to it all day.

When?

- What did you say?
- When can I see you?

I've got a half an hour before
the next session begins.

You meet me now, and we'll go up
to my private office together.

I'll tell my staff
that you requested an interview.

Perfect.
I'll be right there.

I just ran a systems check
on the drone.

Sensors did pick up the missile,
but the drone didn't fire.

Why not? I won't know until I
have a chance to take it apart.

Mr. Ηastings, I don't want to sound
like I'm covering my own ass,

but I did tell you
that the antimissile system...

had not been tested
in an urban environment.

I know what you said, Arlo.

You just find out what went
wrong, and you get back to me.

Mr. Ηastings, I was right. Someone
hacked into the U.N. database.

They downloaded
security protocols,

schematics to the U.N.
and Hassan's personal itinerary.

I was able to trace
an l.P. address.

Did you get a name? Chloe's
into the computer's registry.

She should have it by now.

- Almost there.
- Come on, Chloe.

Saying that isn't gonna
make it happen any faster.

There. The computer's owner is
listed as Meredith Michelle Reed.

She's a reporter working
for the New York Courier.

She's doing a profile on Hassan.

- Applied for a security clearance at the U.N.
- Did she get it?

My God.
What?

She's there now.

U.N. Security logged her in
15 minutes ago.

- She's at the press conference.
- Put me through to U.N. Security.

You're clear. Go ahead.
Thank you.

Okay. Go ahead.

This is Brian Hastings,
director of C.T.U.

We have a possible on-site
threat to President Hassan.

- Do you have an l.D.?
- Her name is Meredith Reed.

She has a press
security clearance.

We're sending a photograph
to your P.D.A.

We just got a call about a
threat to President Hassan.

The U.N. gave us access
to their surveillance feed.

Facial recognition software
is sweeping the area now.

Got a match. Northeast corner,
moving toward Hassan.

Located the suspect.
She's 10 yards from Hassan.

East side of the press section.

Green top, black skirt,
blackjacket.

There she is.
Go. Go, go, go, go, go.

Everybody, move back.
What are you doing?

Move back!

I'm a reporter.
I have clearance.

- Move back!
- Meredith?

I'm a journalist. I'm a journalist.
I have credentials.

We got a call from C.Τ.U. about a threat
to your life. Keep moving. Keep moving.

Mr. President?

Come on.
You're making a mistake.

Let us through here.

The suspect's name
is Meredith Reed.

She's a journalist
profiling Hassan.

Now, our operating theory is that...

she's been using her access
to gain security intel,

which she's been
feeding to the assassin.

Ms. Reed is being transported
back here right now.

My hope is that she will give
us the name of the assassin...

so that we can put an end
to this threat.

Refer to your digital briefing
packets for specifics.

Mr. Hastings, I just received
a preliminary report...

- from the team sweeping Ms. Reed's apartment.
- And?

They recovered the files stolen from
the U.N. database off her laptop.

It looks like we found
our insider.

They also found a large file
that couldn't be opened.

It's been encrypted with
intelligence-grade software.

I want you to find out
what's inside that file.

- It's on its way over as we speak.
- Good.

Excuse me. Does anyone think this happened
a little too fast and a little too easily?

Things do happen a little faster
in here than what you're used to.

I know. You keep reminding me.

I might not be up to speed...

on all your software, but I know if
someone doesn't want to be found,

they don't leave behind code fragments
that could lead to an I.P. address.

Unless, of course, they were in a
hurry and they had to improvise.

Maybe, but then why would you
go through all that trouble,

and leave a huge red flag
for everyone to find?

- What is your point? - it's like
someone wanted us to find her.

I just think we should
continue to vet this...

until we're sure
that we have the right person.

We are vetting this
from every angle.

I appreciate your concerns.
We'll keep them in mind.

- In other words, "Shut up, Chloe."
- That's not what he said.

- Well, that's what I heard.
- All right, you made your point.

Chloe, thanks.

All right, one last thing.

Ms. Reed has spent a lot of time
on assignment in the Middle East.

I want to cross-check all of her movements
with those of known terrorist groups.

- Let's get moving.
- Yes, sir.

Chloe.

Jack Bauer should be here
any second.

I want you
to handle his debrief.

You're taking me
off the floor?

I think you'll be better
utilized debriefing Mr. Bauer.

Go set up.
Thank you, sir.

I'm walking in now.

Give me the home phone numbers
for Torres and Johnson.

Nobody speaks to their wives
before me.

Cole, before
you make your report,

I want you to keep something in mind.
What's that?

I know you asked for more boots on the
ground, but what happened, happened.

There's nothing
we can do about that.

You put your opinion
on record,

it's going to flag an internal
review from Division.

It's only going to hurt us
moving forward.

Clear.

Mr. Bauer, Brian Hastings.

Sorry about the loss of your men.
Thank you.

You'll be glad to know the lead you
got from VictorAruz panned out.

You telling me that you've
already found the insider?

Ηer name is Meredith Reed. She's a journalist
who was covering the peace conference.

She was stealing files
off the U.N. servers.

Now, we wouldn't have gotten this
far without your help. Thank you.

Now, Chloe O'Brian's waiting to
debrief you. Shouldn't take long.

I just need to make a phone call first.
Excuse me.

We need to be
on the same page here.

I think you can
understand that.

Sir, you're asking me to lie on the record.
I'm asking you...

to exercise some discretion.

Τhere's an assassin
out there.

We don't need people
second-guessing how we do things.

Well, maybe you'd like
to debrief for me.

All right,
let's get you in here.

- Hello.
- Hey, sweetheart, it's me.

- Hey, where are you?
- C.T.U.

C.T.U.? Does this have anything to
do with what's going on at the U.N.?

Yes, but I promise I won't be long. I
just need to give them a statement,

and I'm going to have to meet
you at the airport.

Dad, what's going on?

It's complicated. I'll
explain when I see you.

Okay, but we're coming there
to pick you up.

Sweetheart, you don't need to do that.
I want to. It's on the way.

Okay, I'll have Chloe
get you a security pass.

I'll see you soon.
Bye.

Who was that?
My father.

- Everything all right?
- I'm not sure.

Everyone said you were too young and
inexperienced to head up Field Ops,

but I believed
you could do thejob.

Now, I need you to show the same
faith in me that I showed in you.

Keep our little dispute
off the record.

Where's Chloe?
She's upstairs.

First room to the right.

Thank you.

Think about what I said.

Hey.
Hey, Jack.

I'm sorry, but we gotta
do this kind of quick.

- I guess you heard about the reporter they arrested.
- Yeah.

Well, I think we might have the wrong
person. Meredith Reed could be innocent.

Hastings said they found
evidence on her computer.

I know, but I think those
files may have been planted.

Look, I've been scanning through
the traffic cam footage...

from outside Meredith Reed's
apartment building.

Five minutes before the
intrusion into the U.N. server,

this man was going into the
service entrance of the building.

Ten minutes later, he left.

What if he went
into her apartment...

and used her laptop
to break into the servers?

Sounds a little thin.

Don't you think we found her kind of
fast, and that it was a little too easy?

Why are you showing me this? Why
don't you just take it to Hastings?

Ηastings doesn't think
I know what I'm doing.

Ηe won't listen to me.
He might listen to you.

Chloe, I'm here for my debrief.
Kim's on her way.

I'm leaving on a plane to Los
Angeles with my family in an hour.

I'm just asking you to talk to him.
It'll take 10 minutes.

If the assassin framed Reed
to create a diversion,

that means we have
the wrong person in custody,

that he still has someone inside
Hassan's delegation.

I'm sorry, Chloe.
It's not my problem.

Please, let's just continue
with the debrief.

...nor will they confirm
any fatalities.

There is no evidence
at this time to support...

the theory that
the two incidents are related.

We're still waiting
for an official statement...

as to why this reporter
was arrested.

At this time we can confirm
that her name is Meredith Reed.

So glad
you're all right.

I can't believe this happened.
...has yet to comment.

- In other news, the helicopter explosion-
- It's hard to believe, Kayla.

I just don't understand how
this woman got so close to you.

She's a journalist.
She had security clearance.

Do all reporters get
these clearances? No.

But she's writing an article on me.
You know that, Dalia.

She was given special access.
You gave her that access?

Yes, I did. I did it.

Τhis article
was important for me.

I wanted to get my message
across to the American public.

- That's the only reason?
- Yes, that's the only reason.

What other reason? If you have
something to say, then say it.

You should never have
let her into our lives.

- You put us all in danger.
- Please stop.

Excuse me.

I just spoke
to the U.N. press director.

We're going to make
a public statement.

Make sure I see it first.

...conclusion of
the press conference,

Hassan put to rest
any doubts...

that these negotiations-Omar,
may I speak with you alone?

...economic instability
for his country.

"...distrust, under which
we have lived for far too long."

He went on to say the treaty
will bring economic-

Excuse us.

Τhey've taken Meredith Reed
to C.T.U.

I can't believe
she's part of this.

What reason could she have
to help someone kill me?

What reason does any American
have to do anything? Money.

They found incriminating
files on her computer, Omar.

Whether you want to believe
it or not, she is guilty.

And she's going to talk.

I need to know what she's going to
tell them about your relationship.

Be honest with me.
Tell me everything.

It started three months ago
in B'Dar.

We met for an interview
in her hotel room.

Dalia and I had been fighting that day.
She used you, Omar.

She almost cost you
your life.

And if this affair
becomes public,

it will destroy your credibility and
everything that you've worked for.

I don't need you
to tell me the consequences.

If she talks to the
Americans, you must deny it.

It never happened.

Look, Omar, I know you're thinking
you must do the honorable thing...

and confess the truth.

Τhat would be
a terrible mistake.

I need to be with my family.

Yes?
I just spoke with my brother.

I told him
to deny the affair.

What did he say?
He's going to consider it.

Press him harder. Τhe reporter's
claims need to be discredited.

C.T.U. needs to continue to think
she's my contact on the inside.

I understand.

We only need another hour.

I'll be ready
to move by then.

Arlo.
Hey.

I need your help decrypting that
file they found on Reed's computer.

I broke off a section.
It should be on your screen.

- What filter do you want me to run it through?
- Esquire Nine.

No problem.
And, Arlo?

You can stop staring
at my breasts now.

So when are you going to drop Captain
America, find yourself a real man?

I'm still thinking about it.

Well, don't take too long.
I might lose interest.

Let me know what you find.

Dana Walsh.

Ηello?

Dana Walsh.
I like that.

You picked a good name
for yourself.

That's actually better than the
one your mama picked for you.

Whoever this is, I told you
to stop calling me.

Yeah, I know
what you told me, Jenny.

My name is not Jenny.

You must be mistaking me for
someone else. Oh, am I?

Yes.
That's funny,

'cause you sound a lot like
this girl I used to know...

from Rock Springs
named Jenny Scott.

She was a wild thing, man. We
used to do some crazy stuff.

Τhe next time you call me, I promise
you I will contact the police.

Oh-Yeah? You know, I got a better idea.
Let's contact them right now.

I'm hanging up now. Hey,
don't hang up this phone.

I'm warning you, Jenny, do not-

Hey.

Whoa.

I was just gonna
look for you.

I'm so glad
that you're okay.

I'm sorry...

that I have been
so distant lately.

It's just, I don't
ever want to lose you.

Don't worry.

Why am I here?
This is a mistake.

Damn it,
who's in charge here?

Tell Mr. Weiss
there's nothing yet,

but I'll call him as soon
as we have news. Thanks.

Brian Hastings,
director of C.T.U.

Look, I don't know who the
hell you people think you are,

but I want an attorney, and I demand
to know what I'm being charged with.

We found the files, Ms.
Reed. What files?

On your computer in your apartment.
You searched my apartment?

We found six documents on your laptop
that were stolen from the U.N. servers.

What documents?

Relating to the security arrangements
for the peace conference.

You're here because we know
that you're part of a plan...

to assassinate
President Hassan.

Wait. What?

Please don't waste my time. The
evidence against you is clear-cut.

No, no, no. Listen to me.
You're making a mistake.

If there are files on my computer,
then someone put them there.

Now, you listen to me. I'm giving
you a chance to help yourself...

by telling us what you know.

I need the name of the assassin,
how to find them,

and we talk about you
avoiding the death penalty.

You're wrong.
You've got the wrong person.

Take her to Interrogation.
Full biometric package.

- I'll be there shortly.
- This way, ma'am.

- Mr. Ηastings?
- You're done with your debrief?

- Yeah. Can I talk to you?
- Not a good time, Mr. Bauer.

Meredith Reed might be
telling you the truth.

Is this coming from O'Brian?
I told her to drop this.

Yeah, well, she didn't.
She found this.

Τhey were taken from traffic cams near Ms.
Reed's apartment.

Check out the time stamps.

It shows this man entering the building
through the service entrance...

almost five minutes before the
intrusion into the U.N. servers.

It shows him leaving the building
almost immediately after.

- So?
- Chloe talked to the building manager.

There was no scheduled maintenance
today, no packages delivered.

And this is your evidence?

I'm looking at an apartment building,
where dozens of people live,

- coming and going all day long.
- Look, I understand.

All I'm saying is that it is possible
that someone broke into the apartment...

and used her computer
to steal the documents.

- All you need to do is send a couple agents to check it out.
- I just don't see it.

And I can't waste valuable resources
because Chloe O'Brian has a theory.

Chloe and I have worked
together for a long time.

And trust me, she's someone
you might want to listen to.

She's very good
at what she does.

And if she's right, the assassin's
got you looking in the wrong place,

and you will get bit.

Mr. Bauer,
I have a suspect in hand...

with a file she felt
damning enough to encrypt.

Τhat's where I'm going to focus my
resources. Now, if you will excuse me.

I hate this place.

He's not gonna help,
is he?

We have to follow this lead.
If they have the wrong person-

Chloe, I did what you asked.
I talked to Hastings.

If he doesn't want to listen that's
his mistake, but it's not my problem.

To be honest with you,
it's not yours either.

What about the threat
against Hassan?

What about the peace conference?
Doesn't any of that matter to you?

What if Hastings
knows something you don't?

Look, I'm sorry.

Kim's waiting for me outside.

- I've got to go.
- Jack.

You've come to me for help many
times, and I've never let you down.

You've asked me
to do crazy things,

and I've always
taken your side.

Please. Help me.

I can't do this by myself.

I'm sorry.

L-I can't.

Not this time.

Not me.

- Hey. Hey, you.
- Look what I made.

Let me see.

That's Daddy,
that's Mommy...

and that's me
and that's you. See?

- That's you, Grandpa.
- It's beautiful, sweetheart.

Dad, we need to talk.

Yeah. Here, honey.

Why don't you get Daddy to put you
in the car seat? We're ready to go.

What's wrong?
I spoke to Chloe.

She told me what's happening.
Chloe called you?

No, I called her because you
wouldn't tell me what was going on,

so I decided
to find out for myself.

I know about the threat
to the peace conference,

that C.Τ.U. might have
the wrong suspect.

What's happening? Chloe had me make
her case to the head of C.T.U.

Ηe wasn't convinced, and he
thinks he's got the right person.

But if he's wrong, then there's
still someone inside the U.N...

who's working with this assassin?
That's what Chloe thinks.

What do you think?

I think it's not my problem.

Dad.
What?

I don't believe you.

I've never known you to walk
away from something like this.

If you have to stay,
it's all right.

You're not letting me down.
I understand.

Sweetheart, I want to go with you.
I know you do.

And there's nothing I want more
than for you to come with us.

I have been waiting
so long for this day.

We both have.

But ifsomething terrible happens, and you
could have done something to stop it,

I don't think you'd be able
to live with yourself.

Dad, it's okay.
You can go.

As soon as I'm finished here,
I will get on a plane...

and I will be in Los Angeles.
I promise.

Just be careful, please.
Come here.

I will.

I should tell Τeri.
No, no.

Let me do it.

Go ahead.

Go.

Okay.

Go on.

- You okay?
- Yeah, I'm fine, but we should go.

Sweetie, Grandpa
has some work to do.

He can't fly with us, but
he'll come as soon as he can.

But he said
he was coming today.

No, not today.
But soon, okay?

All right, let's go.

- Jack... We need to find out
where your suspect went...

after he left
Miss Reed's apartment.

Start checking traffic cams.

Okay. I need to get a baseline
on her respiratory, cardio...

and dermal response,
so make her comfortable.

Start off with a few
softball questions.

Miss Reed, I think
we need a fresh start.

Now, you claim those files
were planted on your computer.

Fine. I'm willing to give you
the benefit of the doubt,

but you need to meet me
halfway-Talk to me.

Help me understand your side of the story.
Fair enough?

So, when was the first time
you met President Hassan?

About six months ago...

at a conference
of oil ministers.

I requested an interview,
and he agreed.

We met in his
hotel lobby twice.

Ηour-Hour and a half,
at the most.

Madam President.

Mr. President.

I want to thank you for wanting
to continue our negotiations.

I know it's a risk.

Madam President,
you are no stranger...

to making personal
sacrifices for your beliefs.

If the price for peace
is my life, so be it.

Now, we are doing
everything in our power...

to make sure
that that doesn't happen.

We've tightened security
measures here,

and C.Τ.U.'s top priority is to find
the people who are targeting you.

I appreciate that.

Madam President,

the woman you took into custody-
The reporter. Meredith Reed.

Yes. Is C.T.U. certain that
she is part of this plot?

Well, from what I understand,
the evidence against her...

- is quite incriminating.
- Have they found out her reasons?

Well, Miss Reed is being
questioned as we speak.

I'll make sure whatever
information we get from her...

will be shared with your
people as soon as possible.

Jack, I've searched through
all the traffic cams...

within a five-block radius
of Meredith Reed's apartment.

There's no sign of where the suspect went.
Can you check other sources?

C.T.U. has drones
all over the city.

I could look through their archives
and see if they picked anything up.

Where are they? The archives
are in Arlo's station.

- I don't have the clearance.
- Can you hack in?

- Yeah.
- Do it.

I'm glad you're here.
Thanks for staying.

- Yeah.
- This will all be over soon, and you can get to California.

Okay. I'm in.

One of the drones picked him up
leaving Reed's apartment.

Play it forward.

Well, he hailed a cab
when he left.

- Can you track the cab?
- No. it's beyond the drone's search grid.

Okay, back it up.

Stop. Move in closer.

Τhere. Τhat's what
I want to see. Closer.

See the medallion? Call the cab company.
Find out where it went.

I'm not tracking this guy
without a weapon.

Τhe armory's on Level "C." I have to input
your palm print through the hand scanner.

Erase this
as soon as I'm clear.

I'll call you as soon
as I'm on the road.

Ηello?

- Ruth, it's me.
- Jenny?

I need to talk to you. Are you alone?
Uh, just my kid.

What's going on? Haven't heard
from you since Christmas.

Kevin Wade found me.

Ηe's been calling me at
work the last two days.

Damn it, Ruth.
You told him how to find me?

- No, I didn't.
- You're the only one who knows the truth-

Τhe only one who knows
where I am.

I swear, I never talked to Kevin. I
didn't even know he was out ofjail.

Τhen how did he find me?
I don't know.

Okay.

And what does he want anyway?
Why is he calling you?

Ηe didn't say,

but he's threatening to tell
everyone the truth about me.

It'll destroy my career.

I'm about
to get married, Ruth,

to a really great guy.

Well, there's gotta be
something you can do.

You can't let this son of a
bitch just ruin your life.

I don't know what to do.

I'm afraid I'm gonna lose
everything.

I gotta go.
I'll call you later.

Where you been? I've
been trying to find you.

Did you decrypt the file? No.
I'm still working on it.

I found something
weird though.

Someone hacked into my station,
and it came from inside C.T.U.

What were they doing?
Scanning the drone archives.

Track it down.
See who it was.

And when you were in B'Dar
profiling President Hassan,

were you ever approached by anyone
who was hostile to his regime?

No.
No one paid you?

No. Pressured you
into cooperating?

I said no.

So all you did was interview
President Hassan.

That's it?

Yes, that's all.

Ηer answer prompted a Level
Five autonomic reaction.

- You're lying, Ms. Reed.
- I'm not. I-

Τell me what really happened in B'Dar. How
is it connected to the assassination plot?

I don't have anything to do with any
plan to assassinate President Hassan.

- My God, why would I?
- Your reasons are irrelevant.

All I care about
is stopping the assassin.

So do l. So if someone
really is trying to kill Hassan,

you need to stop wasting your
time on me, and find them.

Ηey, Mike, what's going on?

Maggie, I-I'm so sorry...

for dropping by
without calling first.

- Mind if I come in?
- Sure. Come on.

Thanks.

Did, uh, Jim leave
for work yet?

No. Just got out of the shower.
Oh, good-

'Cause I need to ask him
something before he leaves.

Kind of a favor.
Okay.

- Ηey, babe?
- Yeah?

Mike Farmer's here. Says
he needs to talk to you.

Mikey.
Hey.

What are you doing here? You're
not on shift till tomorrow.

Yeah, that's what I wanted
to talk to you about.

All right, I'll be right down.
All right, take your time.

Want coffee?
Sure.

Come on... during President
Taylor's press conference...

earlier this afternoon.

I wouldn't want to speculate
at this time, Bob,

but as you know, President
Taylor's peace negotiations...

with I.R.K. President Omar
Hassan are highly controversial-

Sit down.
Thanks.

...political dissent
both in the United States and-

Did you hear anything more about what
happened at that press conference?

No. Only what
they're saying on TV.

I gotta tell you,
I'm so proud of you and Jim...

and all those boys
down at the precinct.

I mean, you're gonna be part of history.
Nah, I don't know.

We're just
directing traffic, really.

You're on the U.N.
security detail.

Τhat's more
than directing traffic.

Hell, you might
even get on TV.

Wow, yeah, wouldn't that
be something.

Yeah, it would.
Right.

I need to speak
with Mr. Hastings.

Uh, we're in session.
It's important.

Excuse me,
Mr. Hastings.

I have Dana Walsh out here.
She says it's important.

You're not leaving this room
until you tell me the truth,

no matter
how long it takes.

I'm sorry to bother you, sir, but I
didn't think that this could wait.

- What's this about?
- Jack Bauer.

Come on.

- Yeah?
- I spoke with the dispatcher at the cab company.

Ηis driver logged the drop-off
at West 23rd Street...

at the northwest corner
of Broadway in Queens.

Anything more specific? An
apartment number, an address?

Not from the dispatcher, but I'll keep
sifting through the aerial footage.

Okay.
Broadway and West 23rd.

I'll call you
when I get there.

Hands in the air. Now!
Against the wall.

Don't move.

He had this, sir.

We'll take it from here.

Stand down.

I told you to leave this alone.

Chloe tracked the man in the
surveillance photo to a second location.

We didn't think you'd follow
through with an investigation.

So you had no choice except to
steal weapons from the armory.

Would you have followed through
with an investigation if I'd asked?

I'm not debating this anymore. You shut
down a lead before you could even assess...

whether it was good or bad.

Take him to detention.

- Take him!
- Let's go.

I'm sure President Τaylor's gonna
be very interested to find out...

what happened to my informant when
I tried to deliver him to you.

Excuse me?

Cole tried to secure that landing zone with
more men, but instead you sent a drone,

which failed to detect the missile that
killed my informant and two of your men.

Cole hasn't said anything
about it.

And neither will I, as long
as you let me pursue this.

So now you're blackmailing me?

You forced my hand.
Now I'm forcing yours.

You don't want to be doing this, Bauer.
No, I don't.

I wanna be on a plane to Los
Angeles with my family,

but you're not giving me
another choice.

You want to waste your time chasing ghosts?
Knock yourself out.

I've got to stop an assassination plot.
Give him the bag.

I need Chloe to run ops.

Fine. She's all yours.

Thank you.

Anything to what
he's talking about?

The only viable lead is sitting
in our interrogation room,

and she's the only way
we're going to get to the assassin.

- What's going on, Mikey?
- Hey.

Listen, um,
something came up.

I can't make
my shift tomorrow,

so I was wondering
if we could swap.

Oh, I'd be happy to, except Maggie and me
have a meeting with Sean's teacher tomorrow.

She said he's acting out in
class, but I don't believe it.

Jim keeps making
excuses for him,

but if he needs help,
I want to give it to him.

Where is he? He's at
his grandma's tonight.

I'm not making excuses.

So, what are you saying?

You can't trade shifts with me?

This is kind of important,
so I'm sorry.

Yeah.

- Me too.
- Whoa, Mikey. What-

Maggie, I want you to sit down.

Jim, there's a roll
of tape in my bag.

Τear off a strip
and put it over Maggie's mouth.

Do it.

I'm sorry, baby.
Oh, my God.

Now, pick up the phone.
Call Captain Ravello.

Tell him you're sick
and I'm filling in for you.

- Now, listen, you son
of a bitch, there's no way-

Oh! Oh, what's
the matter with you?

What are you doing?

Next time
I won't miss the bone.

Make the call.

All right.
All right, I'll call.

Please, just leave
my wife alone, all right?
