Jack? We need a medic!

Bio-agent is more virulent than we thought.

All we're doing here is just masking the symptoms.

I understand.

There's something you may want to consider.

What's that?

A possible treatment using stem cells from a genetically compatible donor.

I saw your file. It says you have a daughter.

I don't want my daughter involved in this.

Daddy.

Agent Walker told me that there's a chance...

A small chance that I could help you,

and you don't want me to.

I'm dying, and whatever small chance there is to stop that from happening,

it is not worth the pain...

for me to let you sit there and watch me die.

Jack, Hodges has 13 Python missiles armed with the bioweapons.

He demanded that I recall the planes, or he would launch.

Tony Almeida is still inside Starkwood.

He believes he can gain access to the fuel

depot and lay a series of explosive charges...

and take the missiles out.

What do you think you're doin'? -You're gonna take me down to the fuel tanks.

You're too late.

Jonas, we've taken out your missiles. It's over, and you're under arrest.

You can't even begin to imagine what you're up against.

What are you talking about? You'll find out.

Agent Moss, this is Davis at auxiliary gate six.

I have a Starkwood op in custody. He was carrying a canister of the bioweapon.

- Are you sure? - I'm looking at it right now.

One of the Starkwood ops. He's got a canister of the bioweapon.

So I need you to close down all access roads...

and alert perimeter units and Metro Police.

Janis, get me D.C. Metro. I'm gonna pursue from the air.

Let's go!

Come on!

I'm okay. Tony. Tony!

Oh, God. Tony.

Yeah. Tricia? Matt. I just got off the phone with Secret Service.

You're cleared with White House security at the south entrance.

How soon do you think you can get there? Within the half hour.

Do you have any more information why Hodges was arrested? They didn't give me a lot.

Apparently, Jonas was in some kind of a policy meeting with the president,

and things got out of hand.

And that's when he requested his favorite attorney.

I'm flattered. I'll call you after I've spoken to him.

Thanks a lot.

Hurry it up.

Janis. We just got an I.D. on the suspect.

One of Starkwood's security cameras picked him up leaving the compound.

He was carrying a backpack.

Robert Galvez, two-year Starkwood employee. Former Special Forces.

Relay that information to Larry. He needs to know who he's tracking.

I've been trying. He's not answering his comm.

How far away is backup? They're still a few minutes out.

But Agent Park's teams have secured a four-block perimeter.

The bioweapons canister is secured within the cordon.

Get Galvez's picture and description out to Tactical and distribute department-wide.

Got it. And keep trying Larry.

All units, I'm uploading a photo of the suspect...

to all agents' P.D.A.'s.

His name is Robert Galvez.

Be advised he has advanced military training, so proceed with caution.

Almeida. Almeida, are you there?

Are you in a secure location?

I'm holed up in a storage yard near the projects on Jefferson.

I just spotted a patrol. I think I better keep moving.

No, don't!

The F.B.I. has got the entire perimeter locked down, and they know who you are.

How? They have a picture.

Which means the search teams can I.D. you on sight.

Just stay put until I can get a read on their

search protocols, and I'll guide you out.

I should have never let you talk me into helping you.

I promise you, that canister you stole for me...

is worth a lot of money to the people I'm working for.

Hell of a lot of good that money's gonna do me in prison.

Just shut up and do what I tell you to do! Guard

the canister, stay put and wait for my call!

We've got agents down. Get a med team out here now.

Almeida. Almeida, can you hear me?

What happened? Where's the suspect?

He ambushed us. Did you see where he went?

I don't know.

Renee, I just got confirmation the tac team has arrived at the scene.

- Do we have a 20 on Larry? - Not yet.

Excuse me, Agent Walker. I know you're busy.

Kim. I just came to say good-bye.

Good-bye? Where are you going? Back to L.A.

Uh, I don't understand.

You're not going through with the treatment to help your father?

I mean, it's his only chance for a cure. I know that, and so does he.

But it's a slim one, and he believes it's not worth taking.

So if he's gonna die, he wants it to be on his terms.

Yes, but can't you change his mind?

I would think you'd know by now that no one

can change my father's mind when it's made up.

I'm... I'm sorry. I'm sorry that I put you in this position.

No, don't be. I'm grateful to you, Agent Walker.

My father and I got to say a lot of things to each other.

I wish I could have said more, but I don't want to cause him any more pain.

Renee, Agent Park is on the phone for you.

I need to take this. I understand.

Good luck.

- This is Walker. - It's Park. Agent Moss is dead.

What? - Apparently, he was killed in an ambush by the suspect.

The chopper pilot too.

Tony Almeida's been shot, but he's alive.

I've got medical personnel working on him now.

Agent Walker?

Do we have any lead on Galvez?

No, but the area's been cordoned off. Couldn't have gotten far.

We're setting up an operations base here on the scene to coordinate the manhunt.

How do you want to proceed? Me?

You're the ranking agent in charge now.

Maintain the perimeter. Begin a south-north sweep.

I'll chopper out a team and meet you there as soon as I can.

Agent Walker, I have more than enough personnel.

You don't need to be involved in the search.

Yes, I do.

Keep me posted if you hear anything. Yes, ma'am.

Larry?

He was killed in a shoot-out with the suspect.

Oh, God.

I need you to brief the White House on what's happened.

Call Dr. Macer. Have her deploy a hazmat team to the perimeter line.

Assemble a team to chopper out with me.

I'm so sorry.

Someone's gonna need to notify Larry's ex-wife.

Probably shouldn't be me.

It's okay. I'll take care of it.

- - All right.

We've debriefed on hours 8:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m...

pertaining to the C.I.P. recovery and capture of Iké Dubaku.

Now... Mr. Bauer, maybe you'd like to take a break.

No. We need to finish this while I still can. Let's go.

Now, according to your earlier statement, it was about this time...

you received intel regarding the imminent attack on the White House.

Tony Almeida provided me with the intel,

but we did not know the White House was the target at that time.

And who was Mr. Almeida's source?

He was interrogating a mercenary.

Did Almeida give you a name? Um...

Yeah. Sorry.

Car... Cardiff. He said his name was Vincent Cardiff.

Did you, yourself, question this source?

No. He didn't survive Tony's interrogation.

But he was the one who provided us with the intel on the upcoming attack.

But we did not know that the White House was the intended target at that time.

We did not know the White House was the intended target... -Mr. Bauer.

You sure you don't wanna take that break?

I'm repeating myself again. I'm sorry.

Here's the data files you asked for, sir.

Agent Walker's got our assignments, all right?

Excuse me.

We are not gonna lose control of this situation.

I know that most of you are tired, working double shifts,

but I need each and every one of you focused and alert...

if we are gonna locate the suspect and secure

the bioweapon canister that he's carrying.

While I'm out in the field, you will pass all pertinent information...

out of this office through Janis.

Let's get to work. Adams, you and your men are with me.

Renee. Renee. I'll meet you at the helipad.

The bioweapon's still out there? We have it contained.

Wait a second. Wait a second! Just tell me what the hell is going on.

A Starkwood operative by the name of Robert

Galvez got away with a canister of the pathogen.

We have him trapped inside a perimeter a mile or so from Starkwood's compound.

- Is Larry in command of the perimeter? - He was killed in a firefight.

What? Tony was injured. He's at the scene with the advance team.

Larry's dead? We have two agents down, yes. I have to go.

You're lucky. An inch to the left, the bullet might have nicked the splenic artery.

You need to get yourself checked out at the hospital, sir. I can't do that right now.

Let me get you something for the pain.

No. I need to keep my head clear.

Sweep Nine, this is Mobile Command. What's your status?

Mobile Command, this is Sweep Nine.

Southeast grid 211 clear. Moving on.

Copy that, Sweep Nine.

Sweep Seven, what's your position? Clearing 214. Nothing so far.

- No sign of him? - Don't worry. We'll find him.

You should get some rest.

Thanks.

Yeah.

They're sweeping north, clearing grids.

You got a clear path on Jefferson, all the way up to 12th and 13th Street.

That should be the last sector they're searching.

Judging by their progress, it'll give you about 30 minutes.

- Should be plenty of time. - Time for what?

You still got that C-4 I gave you? Yeah. I got it.

All right. I want you to find a structure.

A store or warehouse... something big enough where they have to enter and search.

We need to draw as many of them into the building as possible... and then blow it.

You want me to blow up a couple of dozen F.B.I. agents?

You got a problem with that?

They're still gonna have the perimeter locked down.

I don't see how this is gonna get me out with the canister.

Yeah. I got that worked out.
