- Put the phone away. - One more minute.

That's what you said five minutes ago. Now put it away.

I got you the phone for emergencies, honey.

Well, this is an emergency.

Fine.

How come you get to talk on the phone? That's not fair.

Life's not fair.

Hello.

Hello? Who is this?

Are you okay?

Go! Move!

Everybody down!

Dad... Dad...

- Dad! Dad! - Emily!

- Dad! Dad! - Emily! Emily!

Go! Get in there!

- Daddy! - Let's go!

Please don't hurt my daughter. I've got money.

We don't want your money, Mr. Latham.

We just need you to fix something for us.

Let the record show this is the third day of this Senate hearing

investigating human rights violations by the recently disbanded

Counter Terrorist Unit.

Yesterday, when we adjourned, we were discussing

brutality and torture

by CTU agents in the course of their operations.

Will the witness please state his name?

I don't see your counsel present.

Is he or she not aware that we're about to start?

I have chosen not to retain counsel.

Mr. Bauer, I have to advise you

that many of the questions that we're about to pose to you

are of a legal nature

and might result in answers that could incriminate you.

I understand that, Senator.

We can postpone your testimony until this afternoon

if you'd like to bring in representation.

Something that I would strongly advise.

What is the first question, Senator?

All right, then.

Let's begin.

Who is Ibrahim Hadad?

That information is classified.

We represent the people of the United States,

and we have declassified those files on their behalf.

Now, I'm going to ask you one more time:

Who is Ibrahim Hadad?

He was a member of a terrorist sleeper cell

CTU had under surveillance in 2002.

And isn't it true that you detained

Mr. Hadad without due process, and that you used

extreme interrogation methods on him

until he answered your questions?

Yes, sir.

Would you say that you broke procedure

with this interrogation?

Probably.

Probably?

Well, that's a... very cavalier answer.

You don't seem to care about the implications here.

Well, Mr. Bauer?

I'm sorry, Senator. I didn't hear a question.

All right, then.

Did you torture Mr. Hadad?

According to the definitions set forth by the Geneva convention,

yes, I did.

Senator, why don't I save you some time.

It's obvious that your agenda is to discredit CTU

- and generate a series of indictments. - My only agenda is to get to the truth.

I don't think it is, sir.

Excuse me?

Ibrahim Hadad had targeted a bus carrying 45 people,

ten of which were children.

The truth, Senator, is I stopped that attack from happening.

By torturing Mr. Had.

By doing what I deemed necessary to protect innocent lives.

So, basically, what you're saying, Mr. Bauer,

is that the ends justify the means, and that you are above the law.

When I am activated, when I am brought into a situation, there is a reason.

And that reason is to complete the objectives of my mission at all costs.

Even if it means breaking the law?

For a combat soldier, the difference between success and failure

is your ability to adapt to your enemy.

The people that I deal with. They don't care about your rules.

All they care about is a result.

My job is to stop them from accomplishing their objectives.

I simply adapted.

In answer to your question, am I above the law? No, sir.

I am more than willing to be judged by the people you claim to represent.

I will let them decide what price I should pay.

But please do not sit there with that smug look on your face

and expect me to regret the decisions that I have made,

because, sir, the truth is,

I don't.

Excuse me, Senator.

Sorry for interrupting, Senator. I'm Renee Walker with the FBI.

We have a subpoena for Jack Bauer.

I need him remanded into my custody immediately.

I'm not surprised that anyone has a subpoena for Mr. Bauer,

right now, you have to wait your turn. He's being questioned by the US Senate.

We need Mr. Bauer immediately.

Well, apparently, we're going to have to let you go

for now,

but we're not done with you.

We'll reconvene with you tomorrow morning at the same time.

- Is that understood? - Yes, sir.

All right. Then you go along with these agents.

Well, let's proceed.

Bailiff, call the next witness.

What is this about?

I'm Special Agent Walker. This is Agent Teller.

We need you to come with us to our office. It's just down the block.

- Why? - You'll be briefed when we get there.

- Hello? - Janis, it's me. Where's Larry?

He's briefing Dornan's group.

Tell him I've got Bauer, we're leaving the hearing now.

That's good, 'cause the situation's heating up.

- What are you talking about? - That crew we've been tracking?

They just grabbed a man named Michael Latham.

Latham? He worked on Homeland's Firewall Project.

He didn't just work on it, he designed it. He's the chief engineer

of the government's infrastructure security system.

All right, I'll be there soon.

- Did you get Bauer through security? - Not yet.

Renee's bringing him in. They're only a couple of minutes out.

Then you won't need him cleared for a couple of minutes.

- Sean, as a friend, I'd like to keep... - You're not my friend.

Sure. As someone as close to a friend as you are ever going to get,

let me give you some advice. Most people don't like sarcasm.

I myself have no problem with it, 'cause I'm cheerful. I'm a cheerful person.

You're a cheerful person?

Just get Bauer cleared.

For the past eight weeks,

this office has been investigating a series of technology thefts.

Software, custom gate array chips, neural networks.

Forensics concluded that the break-ins were the work of the same crew,

but we didn't know what their end game was until now.

This is Michael Latham. He's chief engineer

on the Classified Infrastructure Portal, Homeland's Firewall Project.

He was abducted ten minutes ago

by the same group behind the technology thefts.

You think they're using this guy Latham to get through the CIP firewall?

That's our concern. The hardware they stole could be used to build a device

to do just that. And Latham's one of the few people that could do it.

We assume he's being forced to work on the device, or that he's already dead.

Excuse me. Renee's on her way in with Jack Bauer.

Thank you.

We've tasked your people to help this investigation.

- See Sean. He's got the packets. - We're on it.

We're on line with GSA 117.

- How many systems? - Communications, navigation...

But we need the other systems working. Check on Latham.

All right...

It's done.

Northeast 3, this is Global Skies 117. We are ready for clearance.

GSA 117, Roger. You're clear to JFK Airport as filed.

Maintain 5 000.

Expect flight level of 280 ten minutes after departure.

Cleared to JFK. Expect flight level 280.

Welcome to Global Skies Flight Number 117,

passenger service from Reagan-National to JFK.

Weather in New York is cloudy with a chance of thunder showers,

so we may run into some turbulence along the way.

Tower to Skies, awaiting traffic off of Dulles.

Position hold, GSA 117.

GSA 117, that's correct.

I'm Agent Larry Moss. I'm the head of this office.

You're here because Agent Walker thinks you might be able to help us

with an investigation. Now, personally,

I have my doubts, but I'll be happy to be proven wrong.

Well, lucky for me, I'm not here to apply for a job.

I don't care what makes you happy, so let's just get this over with.

Take him to Renee's office.

Do you want me in the room with you?

Renee...

You've read his file.

Bauer's the kind of guy you say the wrong thing, he can go off.

I'll be fine, Larry.

If he goes off, I'll call you.

All right, but if he doesn't produce, don't waste our time. Throw him back.

What do you want?

We've a national security matter that has gone critical.

I'm hoping you can help us with it.

Please sit down.

I sent the differentials to Homeland.

Was there anything else you need me to do?

Has Bauer been indicted yet?

No, but he will be after the Senate hearings.

The CIP firewall protects every major infrastructure system in this country.

If it were breached, telecommunication, transportation, power grids.

- They would all be vulnerable. - Agent Walker, right?

I'm not active.

The DOJ is about to file criminal charges against me

I'm not exactly in a position to help you with your situation.

As much as I understand, how dire it is...

No, I don't think you do.

One of the men behind this threat...

is someone you know.

That's not possible.
