24: Legacy

The following takes place between 12:00 p.m. and 1:00 p.m.

Events occur in real time.

It's your brother.

- Hey. - Hey, babe

How was work?

It was good.

I escorted some CEO to the airport.

I helped another one's wife get home safe

from some charity event, you know,

just helping the one percent breathe easier.

Fix you breakfast?

Just coffee, thank you.

Mm-hmm.

I thought you stopped taking these.

I did. For a couple of weeks.

So...

what's going on?

I mean, you said you were ready.

I know.

Listen, it's been six months, Nicole.

And I get it hasn't been easy living in the hiding,

changing your name and...

Eric, I'm fine.

Okay? I'm just...

I'm just worried you're not.

You're barely eating or sleeping.

I hear you outside punching that bag at all hours.

What do you want from me?

Seriously, what... just tell me, what do you want me to say?

I just, I think you still need more time.

You got to get past everything that happened to you over there.

I'm okay.

Are you?

Things are good.

They're good.

Right?

We got a future here,

so we should start acting like it, okay?

- Hmm. - Hmm?

- Let me get coffee. - Okay.

And pull hard copies of everything

we put together on the Haddads,

including ground recon going back six months.

- Be advised... - Thanks, Andy.

I'm already late.

My husband's gonna kill me.

She's cutting it close. Maybe I should call.

She'll be here.

I just sent you some changes for the fund-raiser speech.

Uh, let me know what you think.

Yeah, will do.

We're gonna have a lot of eyeballs on it.

There she is.

I was beginning to think this was gonna happen without you.

You look beautiful.

You're just saying that.

I may be a senator, but, uh,

I would never lie to you.

Sorry I'm late, I was pulling case files,

- and lost track of time. - Case files?

I have another transition meeting with Mullins.

I thought you were done with those.

We didn't get through everything last time.

So... I'm gonna have to go directly

to the fund-raiser from CTU.

Don't worry.

I won't be late.

They're ready for us.

I know how important this is.

Oh, did the Haliwells confirm?

We're still waiting to hear.

- Just right here. - Thank you.

- I'll reach out. - Senator, over here?

People with that kind of money tend to move in herds.

Thank you.

But we'll need them to get to the White House.

Not that this will hurt.

You're gonna make a great first lady.

Come on.

No.

I want this to be your moment.

Go ahead.

Love you.

Good afternoon.

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.

It is my distinct privilege

to award the Congressional Gold Medal

to the woman whose tireless efforts

made that victory possible.

Former National Director of CTU, Rebecca Ingram.

Thank you.

Thank you, Senator.

This is such an honor and so humbling.

I'd like to acknowledge the many dedicated people at CTU,

whose hard work made this operation a success.

And the Army Rangers,

six heroes who risked their lives to stop Bin-Khalid

from carrying out his threat to attack this country.

You know, my boss said

he'd let us use his cabin up in River Woods.

Maybe we should go up this weekend.

Take some time for ourselves, you know?

Or we could do that right now.

Eric, I have to be at work in an hour.

You can call in sick.

- No. I can't. - Yes, you can.

- I just got this job. - So?

I'm not trying to lose it.

Yeah, so?

- Huh? - Mmm.

Just call in sick.

Mmm.

Mmm.

Yeah?

Government screwed us again, Eric.

Ben, what are you talking about?

Supposed to keep us safe?

Bin-Khalid's people found us.

Whoa, Ben, Ben, slow down and tell me what's going on.

Two men showed up where I was crashing.

They asked if anyone had seen me.

That could mean anything.

They were showing around a picture of me in uniform.

They know who I am.

Are you sure?

I'm not making this up.

Those guys, they tore the place apart.

You got to call CTU.

You got to get them on this before these bastards find me.

Ben, I need you to calm down, okay?

Don't tell me to calm down!

This is happening.

Get somewhere safe and I'll deal with this.

Tell me how I can reach you.

You can't. Ben...

What is it now?

He said Bin-Khalid's people found him.

What else is new?

What are you doing?

I'm signaling the squad.

How? I thought...

you weren't supposed to have any contact with each other,

that you just made an exception for Ben.

We don't have contact.

The Army, they set this up.

It's a double-blind alert.

So, you're actually taking Ben seriously?

Just being safe.

The guys will signal back that they're okay,

and I'll find Ben and I'll get him cleaned up.

Eric, how many times are you gonna send him to rehab?

You're not his squad leader anymore.

What is it?

They're not responding.

You just sent it out.

They just have to tap the screen to confirm.

Maybe they're not near their phones.

All of them?

Nicole.

- Get to the attic. Go. - What is it?

- Get to the attic. Go! Go! - What is it?

Eric, what is it?

They're jamming us. I'm going for the gun.

No matter what you hear,

no matter what happens, you stay there, okay?

Don't make a sound.

Don't move!

Search the house.

I put the case files in the conference room.

- Great. - And congratulations.

Your speech was great.

We watched it on C-SPAN.

Thanks, Andy. Where's Bashir?

Oh, Mullins let him go Friday.

What?

Yeah.

Brought in someone new,

who is so not as qualified.

We're talking two-year college.

I'm sure he had his reasons.

I mean you were tough, honestly.

Sometimes I wanted to bitch-slap you,

but at least you had our backs.

Keith?

Rebecca, hey, congratulations.

Oh, thank you.

Part of me thought you'd cancel, be off celebrating.

Mm-hmm.

- How's John? - Oh, campaigning.

- 24/7. I don't know how he does it. - Yeah.

I've got to make a fund-raiser.

- We should get started. - Yeah.

I'm "so not qualified."

Really? You know, for your information,

not everyone needs to go to Stanford.

Okay, that was a private conversation, okay?

And-and how did you even know I went to Stanford?

You told me two minutes after we met.
