Original subtitles

I know Tony's running things and I don't want to speak out of turn...

- "but I don't know who else to talk to." - " About what?"

I think the president's planning a major military action...

based on a recording that was found in Ali's apartment.

- Ali claims it was a fake. - And you believe him?

Sir, it's Jack Bauer for you.

Mr. President, I regret to inform you Syed Ali has just been assassinated.

I think it has to do with the conversation that was recorded in Cyprus.

- I don't believe it's genuine. - I'm aware of his denials.

Mr. President, I'm just worried that someone's trying to manipulate you...

into taking the kind of military action I assume you're about to take.

I told you I had money. I didn't come here to steal.

I didn't want to hurt anyone.�

- Give me the gun! - " Stop!"

No!

We've got the store surrounded. Put the gun down and come out with your hands up.

- This is Bauer. - " The recording they" found in Ali's apartment...

in case you haven't figured it out already... is bogus.

- How do you know that? - Because I'm the one who planted it.

- What do you want? - Kate Warner.

You got 30 minutes. Bring her to the warehouse. Just the two of you.

Where the hell do you think you're going, Jack?

- I don't have time to explain. - Let's find the time.

Put the gun down.

Kate, come on. We've got to go now. Now! Let's go.

Jack!

Come on.

Wait, Jack. Tell me what's going on.

Do you trust me? Kate, do you trust me?

- Yes. - I will explain everything to you in the car.

But we've got to go now. Come on.

Carrie!

- Tony! What happened? - It was Jack.

I tried to stop him from taking Kate Warner out of here.

What is it?

- My ankle. - I'll get the medic.

- Hey, call Security first. Make sure they stop Jack. - Yeah.

Security.

Hold on! He's at the gate. Stop that vehicle!

Hey! Stop!

- You okay? - Yeah.

I'm sorry. I didn't mean to frighten you back there.

Let me try and explain everything to you.

Right now, the United States is preparing to retaliate...

against the Middle East for what happened tonight.

In the next few hours, we're going to be involved in a full-scale war...

which will affect every country on this planet.

- What does it have to do with me? - Ten minutes ago, a man called me.

He told me he had proof that the evidence that the president was using...

to base his decisions on was forged.

He wouldn't give me any other information unless I brought you to him.

- Who is this man? - I don't know. That's the problem, Kate.

I don't know who he is.

- What would he want with me? - "That's what we've gotta find out."

If I can provide the president with concrete proof...

the Cyprus recording was faked, we can stop a war.

I will do everything I can to protect you, but you have to make a decision now.

You have to decide whether or not you want to accept the risk.

Do you really think we can do this?

I'm not going to lie to you.

This is very, very dangerous.

I'm sorry. I don't know what else to do.

I'm running out of time.

- "They stop 'em?" - No, he drove right through the gate.

- " What's the problem?" - My ankle.

Let's take a look.

- Did you call L.A.P.D? - Yeah, and the F.B.I. They're all looking for him.

Could be a torn ligament. Maybe a sprain. I don't think it's broken.

- "We've gotta get you an X ray." - Great.

- I'll be right back with the first aid kit. - Jack took Kate Warner with him?

- Yeah. - I don't think he was working alone.

- What do you mean? - Baker was keeping an eye on Kate.

Michelle distracted him just a few minutes before I found you.

- Distracted him how? - She called him away on some paperwork.

So? Jack could have just been using that as a window.

- Doesn't mean they were working together. - I think it does.

Michelle was talking to Jack right before she went to Baker.

- He might have been setting her up. - It didn't appear that way.

The vice president's in Washington ready for your call, sir.

- When's his meeting with the British ambassador? - Right after he speaks with you.

Sir.

The vice president is going to want you to authorize him...

- to inform the ambassador of our deployment. - He told you that?

He didn't have to. You know where Jim stands on this.

He's going to want to let everyone know we're on a war footing, especially the British.

What's your position, sir?

Once we bring our allies in on this...

it'll make it much harder to recall those planes.

- Put him through. - The president is ready to speak with him now.

- Right away. - Thank you.

Hello, Jim.

What's the British reaction to the California bombing?

Everyone over there is stunned. They've placed their military on high alert.

- The British ambassador? - He's waiting to hear from us.

I take it that after this conversation, I'm free to inform him about the Stealth bombers.

Not just yet, Jim. It's still premature.

Mr. President, those planes are due to drop their payloads in a little over four hours.

We're holding off notifying our allies because there's a possibility...

that we may not go through with the attack.

I-I don't understand.

I have reason to believe that the Cyprus audio...

that implicated the target countries was fabricated.

- I thought we analyzed it, proved it was real. - As did I.

But C.T.U. Los Angeles is in the process of...

- obtaining intelligence that may show otherwise. - In the process?

- Meaning they don't have any proof yet? - Correct.

Did you run it by C.I.A? Do they have any indication this thing's a fraud?

Not as of yet.

Mr. President, you authorized this military action and, uh, justifiably so.

With all due respect, it's too late for second thoughts.

We will not start a war on false or incomplete information.

Say nothing to the ambassador.

Yes, Mr. President.

Mr. President, I know you trust Jack Bauer implicitly...

but to equivocate our response in a matter of this importance...

because of one man's reservations makes me very uncomfortable.

I'm afraid I'm with Mike on this one, sir.

Noted.

This is Deputy Raynes.

- Mr. Garcia, we have officers surrounding the building.

Your only option is to throw your weapon out...

and come out with your hands on top of your head.

" Stay with me."

No! I can't stop the bleeding.

- We need to get him to a hospital. - Please, don't let him die!

You need to talk to the police.

You have to tell them you're going to give up. We've got to let them in here right now!

I didn't mean for this to happen. A bomb went off. There's gonna be a war.

I was just trying to protect my wife. She's pregnant!

I understand. I will tell the police that. We gotta get out of here!

Mr. Garcia, please respond.

Do you have someone in there who needs medical attention? We can work this out.

But first you have to put the weapon down and come out.

Let's walk out of here.

Come out, Mr. Garcia.

"You're only making this worse" by prolonging it.

- No! - Come on! No!

Oh, please, don't die.

Please, don't let him die!

Why wouldn't they help you back at C.T.U?

Tony Almeida's just been put in charge there. He's under a lot of pressure.

He doesn't think the tape's a forgery, so he's following the proper protocol.

He's doing what he thinks is right.

Where are we supposed to meet this man?

A small warehouse in Studio City.

- What is it? - "We're being followed."

- "Who do you think it is?" - I don't know. Hold on.

Turn the ignition off. Put your hands on the wheel!

Put your hands on the wheel!

- You alone? - Yeah.

Yusuf, why did you follow me from C.T.U?

Since I arrived, no one's given me any information.

I told you when we were at C.T.U. That my country's being implicated.

I don't know who I can trust. I saw you take out Tony Almeida, who's in charge there...

which means you're not on board with what they're doing... you don't want your country...

- to invade mine. - My agenda's not to help your country.

My responsibility is to make sure the president of the United States...

makes his decisions based on fact.

- My country's not responsible for this bomb. - "Maybe."

But Syed Ali is a citizen of your country, and he runs his terrorist network from there.

Yes, which means he's a criminal to my government just as much as yours.

Why would my country deliberately provoke an attack that would eventually decimate us?

We've everything to lose, nothing to gain.

- What do you want? - When you broke out, you isolated yourself.

Whatever you're doing, you'll need help.

- "Tony." - "Yeah?"

- "What'd the doctor say?" - Oh, I don't know.

They think I tore a ligament or something.

Look, um, Carrie told me that she saw you talking to Jack...

right before he took Kate Warner out of C.T.U.

Yeah. Is that a problem?

Well, it depends what you were talking about.

What were you talking about?

Are you interrogating me?

- Did you help Jack take Kate Warner out of here? - Of course not.

Is that what Carrie told you? That I'm in collusion with Jack?

- Yeah. - Well, I don't know what to tell you.

She doesn't know what she's talking about.

Look, Michelle, it doesn't matter whether you think Jack is right or wrong.

The fact is, this is my command and what happens here is my responsibility.

- I know that. - So I need you to be honest with me now.

Did you intentionally draw Agent Baker away from Kate Warner?

No. I did not.

So why would Carrie tell me you did?

- Because she'd like to see me out of here. - Why's that?

Because I don't like her, and she knows it.

- You want to tell me about it? - No, not really.

If you've got a problem that's interfering with your work...

It's not interfering with my work.

It's not.

Okay. Thanks.

Mr. Garcia, we are contacting you by phone.

- "Please answer." - "What have I done?"

I'm going to prison for the rest of my life!

- You don't know that. - I killed a man!

It was an accident. I saw it.

If you turn yourself in now, they'll consider that.

- If you don't, it'll only get worse. - I've got to get out of here.

Hey! Don't touch that phone.

- Yeah. - Mr. Garcia, this is Deputy Raynes.

Now, whatever the problem is, we can work this out.

- Who's in there with you? - A customer... a girl.

- "Okay. Is she hurt?" - No. It's the owner.

Okay, we have to get him out of there.

It's too late.

Look, I didn't mean it. It was an accident.

That's okay. Let's talk about it.

It's because of the bomb. There's going to be a war.

I'm trying to get my wife out of the city. You understand that, right?

Your wife is right here, Mr. Garcia. She's worried about you.

Put her on the phone. I want to talk to her.

Ramone? Are you okay?

Why are you still in there?

- "Mija..." I killed a man. - No!

It was an accident, but they won't believe me.

You and the baby have to leave now. It's not safe to be in the city.

Ramone, "mijo," come out.

No, not yet, okay. Look, I'm going to tell the police...

to take you where you'll be safe.

- I love you. - I love you too.�

All right, Mr. Garcia, now you talked to your wife. We'd like you to come out.

Okay, but I want you to do one thing for me first.

- What's that? - Take her to Monterey.

She's got a sister there. When she gets there...

I'll let the girl go, and then I'll come out.

- What do you want me to do? - I want you to stay here. I'm going in.

If you need to get in touch with me, there's a cell phone in the center console.

Press one. It's on speed dial. Kate? You okay?

Don't forget.

I will do everything I have to to protect you, okay?

Just stay put.

Drop the weapon.

- Put the weapon down! - All right.

My weapon's right there on that table.

I'm unarmed.

Put your hands behind your head, interlock your fingers. You know the drill.

If that's a Dunlop...

it'll pick up a piece of shrapnel that's still in my rib cage.

Yep. See.

Take a seat.

Who are you?

Jonathan Wallace, Captain. Seventh light armored reconnaissance battalion.

Third marine division special ops attachment, Delta, Fort Benning.

Slowly... raise your right arm.

Show the inside of your forearm to me.

- Coral Snake unit. - That's right.

So you're the seventh man.

You took out your entire unit that was tracking the bomb so they couldn't stop it. Why?

I was responsible for two things...

Making sure the bomb went off, planting the Cyprus recording...

- to blame the bomb on those three countries. - To what end?

What else, Jack? To start a war.

The end game was always to get the United States to attack the Middle East.

- Why? - They didn't tell me, but they didn't have to.

These men control the oil in the Caspian Sea. If there's a war in the Middle East...

their holdings quadruple in value for at least a decade.

At the cost of detonating a nuclear device in the center of Los Angeles?

You got it.

What do you want with Kate Warner?

An hour ago, the people who hired me tried to have me killed.

Obviously, they didn't succeed.

But they took out my transport team.

I need an alternate way out of the country.

Warner Industries has D.O.D. Variance. She can authorize a departure.

So evidence against the Cyprus recording for your departure. That's the deal?

Yep.

Keep your mouth shut and get out of the car.

Unlock the door. Do it now!

Come on. Get out of the car.

You okay?

So where's the Warner girl?

When we're done. Tell me more about the evidence.

How does it prove the Cyprus recording was forged?

I have the source recordings before they were mixed down to create the fake tape.

Yeah?

Jack, there was another guy. I took care of him. Is he there?

It's for you.

- Hello. - The man you sent to pick up Kate Warner is unconscious.

- "He'll be out for a while." - You're lying.

He's six-two, dark hair, pretty nasty scar on his face.

Okay. Doesn't change anything.

I still got what you need, and I'm not gonna give it to you until you give me Kate Warner.

Fine. I'll take you to her. And we'll arrange your charter.

No. She can't authorize an unscheduled charter unless one of the partners...

of the company is on board, and right now your people have Bob Warner in custody.

So she's coming with me.

What do you plan to do with her when you reach your final destination?

I have to dispose of her. You know that.

- Can't let that happen. - We're done here.

Wait.

- Yusuf, do you copy? - Yeah, we're here, Jack.

- What do you want me to do? - Bring her in.

Lynne.

- Yeah, Mike? - How do I get a hold of Jack Bauer?

Last I heard, he was debriefing at C.T.U. Why?

The president is hesitating with this operation...

based solely on a conversation he had with Bauer.

- I want to talk to him myself. - Behind the president's back?

Mike, that is so dangerous.

If I can get some concrete information...

- I can support the president more effectively. - And if you can't?

Then I'll have the conviction to talk him through this situation. Right now I'm in the dark.

- Mike, I'm not sure... - Lynne. Lynne. This is my call.

Your recommendation not to go around the president is duly noted.

Thanks.

Mr. Almeida, Mike Novick...

President Palmer's chief of staff is on the line.

- Mr. Novick, this is Tony Almeida. - Hi, Tony.

I need to reach Jack Bauer.

Yeah, well, uh, we're trying to locate him ourselves, sir.

What do you mean? What's the problem?

Well, Jack was here earlier debriefing from the day's events...

when he grabbed a material witness and took her off the premises illegally.

He also assaulted C.T.U. Personnel.

- Why on earth would he do something like that? - Jack's working on a hunch...

that the Cyprus recording was fabricated, sir.

This is what I wanted to talk to him about.

The president is not giving his complete support...

to the military action until he hears from Bauer.

I understand, sir.

What about the witness he's taken? How does that factor in?

Well, her name's Kate Warner.

Her sister Marie was involved with the Second Wave terrorists.

We're trying to connect the dots, but that's the other reason we need to find Jack.

The second you make contact with Bauer...

- you put him through to me... We're at District. - Yes, sir.

- Turner. - Carrie?

- What's up? - Yeah, I need to see you.

Yeah.

Yes, Tony?

- Where are we regarding Jack? - His exit wasn't picked up on satellite...

and he hasn't initiated contact with anyone.

- What about Kate Warner? - Her house and her father's company are being watched...

- in case they go there. - Good.

Have you... talked to Michelle?

Yeah. In fact, um...

I wanted to talk to you about that.

Do you have a problem working in the same office with Michelle?

Is that what you think? That I'd be making up stories about her...

because I have a problem working with her?

She and Jack were talking before he took Kate Warner.

They weren't trading recipes. It was conspiratorial.

All right.

Look, uh, I need you to put a filter on all of Michelle's communications, all right?

E-mails, phone calls, open channels.

I want you to let me know when Jack tries to contact her, all right?

Done.

- What's going on out there? - They're taking my wife where she'll be safe.

And then what?

- You're going to let me go, right? - Don't push me.

- You got me into this. - I didn't get you into this.

You pointed this gun at me. That's how this whole thing started.

What were you doing with a gun anyway? Huh?

What?

- Were you going to rip this place off? - No.

You ruined my life. It's all your fault.

Please, don't. I'm sorry. I should have never taken out that gun.

Yeah? Well, why did you?

- I was afraid. - Afraid? What do "you" have to be afraid of?

Answer me!

My daddy died tonight. The bomb that went off... he was there.

- What? - All right, Mr. Garcia, your wife's on her way to Monterey.

- Everything cool in there? - No, it's not cool.

You just make sure my wife gets there, and don't be calling me every five minutes.

Okay, Ramone, you need to stay calm.

Now, we're doing exactly what you said, but you've got to think this thing through.

- Now, you're going to be in custody pretty soon. - I didn't mean to kill anybody!

We know. But what would help your case is if you let the young lady out now.

I'm not stupid. She's the only reason you haven't shot your way in here yet.

And I'll tell you something. If I see you coming in, I'll kill her.

- You better believe that! - " You're not a killer, Ramone."

You've got no record. Be smart.

Oh, I'll be smart. "You" be smart. Damn it!

Get back here!

Open the door!

Open it! Open the door!

- Open it! - Help me, please! I'm at the back door!

Help! Police!

I don't want to hurt you, but I will!

Mr. Garcia, what's going on in there?

- "Mr. Garcia, pick up the phone." - No!

" Not yet! Not yet!"

Please respond, Mr. Garcia.

Hey. Hey.

Is there anyone else besides you?

Kate, look the other way.

No, no. No. No one else. There's no one else.

- Come on. - Wait, the warehouse is that way.

- Jack. - Yeah, go ahead.

I'm going to approach in a sweep pattern. It'll take a few minutes.

Copy that.

They're gonna be five minutes.

And here we are without a deck of cards.

You know, I was down at Benning when Samuels tried to recruit you?

Yeah. He was real disappointed you turned him down.

He said you were a born killer.

Is that true?

Turner.

I just got an alarm condition on the backup server. Do you have one?

No, I don't. Must be on your side of the router.

Want me to go to patch bay and check out the connections?

- No. Um, you need "C" clearance for that. I'll have to do it. - Right. I forgot.

- Can you give this to Thomkins for me? - Sure.

Thank you.

- Mr. President, may I? - What is it, Mike?

Jack Bauer took a material witness from C.T.U...

and assaulted an agent in the process.

I know how much this country owes him, sir...

but he's obviously suffered some kind of emotional collapse.

It would be understandable, given everything he's been through.

Well, we don't know that.

What he did might have been necessary under the circumstances.

We already have incontrovertible proof...

from Langley that the Cyprus recording is authentic.

Finding Jack Bauer isn't going to change that.

The country needs your energy and attention...

on what happens after those bombs are dropped.

We need to prepare for this war.

If this recording is not authentic...

and Bauer turns out to be right, we will have made a mistake of historic proportions.

- Mr. President... - That's all, Mike.

Find Jack Bauer.

She'll be here any minute. Where's the evidence?

Okay. Here's how it's going to go down... I take Kate with me.

She sets up the plane. It picks us up at an airport of my choosing.

When I'm on that plane, I'll call you and tell you where the evidence is.

- What assurances do I have you'll even call? - None.

One of those things where you're just gonna have to trust me.

Well, I don't.

Jack, you're the last person in the world I want tracking me down.

Jack, what's going on?

- You and I are going on a little trip. - Jack?

You have to go with him.

- What about you? - Jack's not coming.

You gave me your word.

I'm sorry. It has to be done like this.

- Let go of me. - Talk to her, Jack...

otherwise I'm going to have to do this differently.

Kate, remember everything I said to you in the car?

Do what he says and I promise you... you will not get hurt.

You're giving me up, aren't you?

- "C. T.U., Dessler." - Hey. Hey, uh, it's me.

- Danny, what are you doing up? - I can't... I can't sleep." Are you sure it's safe here?

Yeah. As far as I know it is.

As far as you know? What the hell does that mean? "As far as I know"?

- Look, Danny, you know my situation. - Yeah, well, you know what?

Your situation sucks. You're talking about my life here.

The least you could do is tell me what you know.

There's nothing to know. Stay where you are, get some sleep. I'll come over tomorrow.

Listen, I swear to God, don't you patronize me.

Don't you patronize me, 'cause I want answers. A nuclear bomb just went off, all right?

I want to know if it's safe to stay here in L.A.

Hey, wh-what about the kids? Don't you care about the kids?

Yeah, of course I do. If there was anything to know, I would tell you.

Is that right? Well, you didn't tell me about the bomb.

What happened there? Did it slip your mind?

I already explained it to you. I wasn't allowed to tell anyone.

Oh, you know what? Maybe I should call Carrie.

- Sh-She'd tell me. - I thought you two weren't speaking.

- We're not. She's a bitch. - Danny, I will take care...

Forget it!

On your flank.

Don't shoot me!

Please! I'm sorry!

Throw the weapon out the front door...

and come out with your hands behind your head.

No, I need more time!

My wife's gonna be safe, right?

Come on, Ramone. You got to cooperate now. You got nobody left in there.

Anybody have a visual on the suspect?

No. He's not coming out. Should we hold position?

No, no. Ever since that bomb's gone off, we got a new call every 10 minutes.

- We gotta be done here. - Please, don't. Give him time. He'll come out on his own.

All right, all units, go. Go now, go!

Drop your weapon!

No!

Code four! Code four! Send medical.

Medical team, go.

- Thank you. - All right.

- We ready? - Yes, we are, Mike.

Mr. Vice President, you're on with me and Lynne...

because the president is being briefed by Ryan Chappelle.

- He asked that we go ahead without him. - Fine.

How'd it go with the British ambassador?

Not well. He knows that we're planning a retaliation against the Middle East...

but he's frustrated because we're not coordinating with them.

- I'm sure he'll understand once he gets all the facts. - What are the facts, Mike?

We got planes in the air. Either we're committed or we're not.

If the evidence shows...

that the Cyprus recording was falsified...

the president wants the option of calling those planes back.

You know what it sounds like to me? An excuse to call this off.

Do you believe the president's capable of doing the hard thing, Mike?

The right thing?

Yes, sir, I do. He's committed to this action.

All he's doing is making sure every base is covered.

I hope so.

The president will be contacting you as soon as anything develops.

All right, Mike.

Mike.

You think the vice president is right, don't you?

If the president turns those planes around based on...

the unconfirmed speculation of a single C.T.U. Agent...

it'll be a disaster.

So what do we do about it?

I don't know.

- Where are you taking me? - Get in.

I'm not going to try and escape.

- I said get in. - "Kate."

Get in the trunk. It's for your own safety.

- Tracker's in place. It's been activated. - Good.

Jack.

It's been a real pleasure.

I'll be in touch.
