24: Legacy

Previously on 24...

Six months ago, U.S. Special Forces

launched an assault on the compound of Ibrahim Bin-Khalid,

killing him and eight members of his terrorist organization.

_

Bin-Khalid's people found us.

Where is it?

A strongbox that belongs to Sheik Bin-Khalid,

taken from his compound

the night your squad came and killed him.

Carter? We're blown, the whole squad.

Grimes and I are the only ones left.

Three people had access to our new names:

the directors of CIA, NSA and CTU,

which is now Keith Mullins.

You're the one who chose me as your replacement.

You need to trust me to do the job.

Rebecca, what is this?

Is Rebecca having second thoughts about giving up

her career?

You're gonna make a great First Lady.

_

Maybe part of her

doesn't want you to win and have everything change.

You're overstepping.

I think Amira's gonna do something,

bad, violent,

here at the school.

- Drew saw our messages. - What?

He thinks you are planning an attack at the school

with someone, he doesn't know it's with me.

What are we doing here?

I'm getting you safe.

Isaac's not on anyone's books,

he's got guns, he's got men, he can protect you.

You think because he's your brother

he's just gonna forget what happened?

There is something inside that box

and they're after it, so where is it?

What is it?

It's a list.

Sleeper cells.

These codes go out, they launch attacks all over the country.

Where's the chip?

Government wants this list, they're gonna have to pay up.

Please don't do this.

Ben!

The following takes place between 1 p.m. and 2 p.m.

Events occur in real time.

Rebecca,

it's Carter.

Ben got away.

Please tell me you're still tracking him.

We were, he left the construction site heading east, but we lost him on 13th.

I found out why

Bin-Khalid's people wanted the strongbox.

Inside there was a flash drive containing a list of sleeper cells

that Bin-Khalid set up here along with all the codes to trigger their attacks.

It looked like 15, maybe 20 cells but I didn't have the list for very long.

He said he'll sell it to the terrorists if we don't give him what he wants.

I am still waiting to find out what that is.

Do you believe he'd really do that?

He's angry, and he's unstable.

I do.

We'll keep looking for him here.

Let us know if he makes contact.

Yeah, I am heading over to 13th.

Keep looking for Grimes. I'm going to talk to Keith.

Rebecca, what the hell's going on?

Have you lost your mind?

- Keith, listen to me. - No, let me out of here, now!

I can't do that.

Not until I know if I can trust you.

Trust me?

Because I'm the one who's acted completely out of bounds?

The Ranger squad that killed Bin-Khalid was attacked this morning.

Four of them were murdered and their families.

What are...

The Rangers were living under new identities

that only three people had access to, the directors of CIA, NSA...

and you.

And you think I gave them up?

No.

I don't.

But I have to be sure.

I want to clear you, but I need your help.

How?

I want to get into the CTU's subnetwork

to find out who accessed the Rangers' files.

To do that, I need your director's override.

My override?

Once I identify the leak, I can track them back to the people behind this.

Keith, killing the Rangers is only the beginning.

These people are planning attacks against this country.

I have no way of verifying what you're telling me, but, what?

I'm supposed to give you unfettered access to the system?

Why would I make all this up?

Do you really think I want to be doing this?

I'm supposed to be with my husband, Keith,

helping him with his campaign, now give me the damned override

so I can get you out of here and get back to my life.

The override key is in the personal safe behind my desk.

The code is 206-207.

Thank you.

Ben! Whoa!

Look, I'm not gonna hurt you.

The man who gave you this jacket, did you see which way he went?

Where'd you serve, man?

I was in Afghanistan, Yemen.

75th Infantry.

Rangers lead the way.

That's right.

The man you're looking for ran toward that fence,

near the railroad tracks.

Thank you, thank you.

Mullin's override got me into the subsystem,

but I still need to parse the logs.

Andy,

will you be able to find the leak or not?

Yes, but I don't know how long it'll take.

Carter?

Ben went into the storm drains at First and Pierce.

The city doesn't have any cameras down there.

And there are literally thousands of exit points.

Yeah, Ben knows that.

He's been doing this a while.

This is him.

I'm gonna join you in.

Listen, Ben barely trusts me so he can't know you're on, okay?

Understood. Andy will run a trace.

Ben, talk to me, man.

I want $2 million.

Not enough for what I've been through, but it's the most I can carry.

Ben, you know I can't ask the government for that kind of money.

This is not an official operation.

It's not my problem.

You get me the money or I call Bin-Khalid's men.

I took one of their phones at the construction site.

Please, man, listen, you're strung out

and you're not thinking straight.

Eric, I've never been more clear in my life.

Show up at the 7th Street metro station with my money in one hour.

An hour? Ben, you got to give me more time.

For the government to find me?

No, you show up on time with the money, you get the list.

If any of those things don't happen, Eric,

I will sell the list to Bin-Khalid's people.

Period.

Ben!

Carter, there's no way I can get my hands on that much cash in an hour.

Not as a private citizen.

There's nobody in the government you can ask?

No one who'd even entertain it.

And in any case, the request would go into the system and alert the leak.

Okay, okay.

I have an idea. I'll get back to you.

Carter?

Hey.

So you can change.

Or I could get you something else if you want.

- No, thanks. - All right.

Isaac, um...

is everything all right?

You seem... I don't know.

It's been a rough year.

Other people wanting what's mine.

You can always get out, you know.

Yeah.

Look, I got a deal about to go down with some Dominicans.

Right? They're gonna move my product on the north side.

That'll put me back on top.

I'll be a'ight.

Yeah. What?

How's Nicole?

She's fine, like I said she'd be.

What, you called to talk to her?

No, there's no time.

- Listen, I need a favor. - What?

I need money.

How much money you talking about?

$2 million in cash.

How about I throw in a Ferrari, man?

I'm serious, Isaac.

Don't matter if you are, I don't have it.

Is there anyone else you know who might have the money?

Well, ain't nobody got more money than the cops, so try them.

They busted a big heroin deal last week.

I heard they ceased 100 kilos and the money for the buy.

They got $4 million in cash.

All right, so where would the cops be keeping the money?

No, I wasn't being serious.

Where, Isaac?

It's at the main precinct on Third.

It's probably in some evidence lockers, but, look,

ain't no way you're getting it out of there.

Yeah, we'll see about that.

No, look listen, listen.

That money is surrounded by a hundred cops, all right?

All kinds of security down there.

Isaac, I got no other options, man.
