Previously on 24.

You know me well enough not to be surprised if there are repercussions.

I hope you're not threatening me.

I don't make threats, David, just tell it like it is.

What he's doing is showing you that not only did he have the power...

to help start your political career, but he also has the power to put an end to it.

There has to be a way to get to him.

David, what-- what's wrong?

I need your help.

Hector and Ramon are trying to buy a virus to use as a weapon.

Millions of people could die. I set up this deal...

so my government could take control of the virus and destroy it.

You're still with C.T.U.? Yes, I'm still with C.T.U.

I cannot allow this virus to get into the wrong hands.

I have a message from Jack. The virus they're going to buy--

Jack is going to take it from them.

Jack promised to get me and my family out of here if I help you.

Come on. Come on. Hurry. Hurry.

Bauer's with the Salazar brothers in Mexico.

His transponder signal stopped working.

We're doing everything we can to reestablish contact.

Tell the Delta units to hold their position till I get back to you.

There's been a complication.

Another buyer's interested in the virus. We have a deal.

We'll hold an auction, and the virus will go to the highest bidder.

- We just found out there's another player in the deal. - Who is it?

Nina Myers.

Your bid is $225 million.

Hers is 240. You win.

- We can get the virus! - How do you get the virus?

I told you. I know her! I can get to her!

The Salazars are willing to pay you at least 10

times more than what you're getting paid now.

Are you gonna be able to forgive me for killing your wife?

If I wanted revenge, Nina, I would have killed you already.

All I wanna do is finish this deal and disappear for good.

Convince me.

The following takes place between 11:00 p.m. and 12:00 a.m.

Adam, is Amador moving yet?

No. He's still stopped at the location.

What do we know about the area?

Um, it's mostly rural. There's very few structures.

Do we have infrared on it? Yeah.

It's not high-res satellite,

but there appear to be a number of vehicles and bodies nearby,

but we have no idea what they are.

Give him space. We want to make sure he feels safe enough...

to take delivery of the virus. Got it.

What's the latest on Chase Edmunds?

After he escaped from Hector, he phoned his position in to Delta teams,

and they're en route to pick him up now.

Edmunds? Yeah.

Captain Reiss. What's your condition? Shot in the hand, but I'm fine.

What about the others? I got two people. They're coming with me.

We spotted a vehicle from the air heading this way.

It's the Salazars. They can't know that C.T.U. is here. We need to leave now!

Then let's get them out of here.

Sergio, we're getting on the chopper. We're going to a safe place.

Oriol, we need to go right now. We can't leave her like this.

Hector is coming. You need to think about your son.

Bueno. Vámonos. We gotta go now!

Let's go! Let's go! Move! Move! Move!

Keep 'em low! Keep 'em low!

Get them in there! Come on! Stay low! Stay low!

Move out!

Yes? Alan?

It's Wayne Palmer. What do you want?

I always thought you had more balls than to threaten me through my brother.

What, you can't talk to me man-to-man?

I don't owe you an explanation. You slept with my wife.

That's between you and me, Alan.

Fine. Step down, and it all goes away.

That's not your decision.

We'll see.

Wayne.

Who you talking to?

Alan Milliken. What the hell do you think you're doing?

Cleaning up my own mess, David.

- Hello, Alan. - Mr. President.

That brother of yours is going to be your undoing.

I am not firing my brother. That's too bad.

And I have no intention of losing my health care bill.

I've spent two years putting it together.

Except you're three votes short, last I checked.

You'd better brace yourself for some disappointment.

I don't want to go to war with you, Alan.

It's your choice, Mr. President.

The choice is unacceptable. There has to be another way to work this out.

On any other issue, I'd bend over backwards to accommodate you.

Not on this one.

Then you have only yourself to blame for the consequences.

And I promise you-- you won't like them.

When is Sherry getting here?

- Five minutes. - Good.

Are you sure you want to bring her into this?

We're in a street fight, Wayne. It's what she does best.

And we both have to focus on what's happening in Mexico.

I know we're hoping for success, but we have to anticipate failure.

If Jack Bauer does not intercept the virus,

then we are dealing with an international crisis.

This is Michael Amador.

He's representing the Ukrainians in the sale of the virus.

Now, we have a Delta team tracking him on the ground at a safe distance.

Why don't they get Amador if they know where he is?

'Cause he may not be carrying the virus.

And if he's not, we'd have blown our chance at the interception.

Once Jack confirms it is the virus, then the Delta teams will go in and secure it.

Delta asked for a photo of the woman Jack's working with,

so I sent 'em this-- Adam, wait.

Nina Myers is the broker?

- Didn't you read the ops brief? - No.

Kim, come with me.

Would you finish the briefing, please? Yeah.

I'm sorry.

I was looking for the right time to tell you.

I cannot believe Nina Myers is involved in this.

Your father needed her help to secure the virus.

She killed my mother.

My father couldn't even pretend to work with her.

I'm sorry, Jack.

I'm sorry, Jack.

I wanted to think you'd changed, but I can feel it.

You're lying.

You haven't forgotten anything, have you?

You despise me,

and you'd do anything right now to get me to go along with your plan.

That's not true.

It is true.

I know you're still with C.T.U.

So why would I let you set me up?

Now, you can believe whatever you want,

but I need this deal to happen.

I'm a fugitive. I don't have a choice.

I need the Salazars to pay me for the virus,

and you're the only person Amador will deal with.

Do you understand me?

I'll honor your original deal. You'll get your $20 million.

And you get to keep breathing.

Until my client doesn't get what he paid for.

Right now, your client should be the least of your worries.

Hector, she's dead.

Get away from her.

Claudia.

They can't be far away. Find them!

Find them! Find them!

I just spoke to the Mexican authorities.

They're pissed off that we didn't notify them earlier.

It's Hector.

- You set? - Go.

Yeah.

It's me. Edmunds escaped. He killed three of my men.

Has he contacted C.T.U.?

Not yet. But he may not call.

I found out Edmunds is rogue. He's been acting on his own.

Then C.T.U. hasn't sent anyone down here to find him?

They don't even know where he is.

Okay, you call me the second you hear from him. I will.

- Yeah. - Are you still with Bauer?

I'm at the main road that leads into town.

- I'm waiting for Bauer to bring the woman. - We have to call this off.

What are you talking about?

The C.T.U. agent Edmunds, he escaped.

How? I don't know. Claudia was with him.

Ramon, she's dead.

I'm sorry.

But, Hector, we still have business to do.

Not with Edmunds on the loose. As soon as he gets to a phone, he'll call C.T.U.

Find him before that happens. I'm trying, but it's too dark.

He'll be impossible to track. What are you suggesting we do?

Forget this whole thing. It's too dangerous.

- It's always been dangerous. - Not like this.

Listen to me. You were the one who made this deal.

You promised our buyers something we can't deliver.

If you don't keep your promise, my reputation...

and everything I worked for will be ruined.

Do you understand? I understand.

Keep some of your men looking for Edmunds...

and bring the rest of the men here, so we can do the deal.

Yes.

Ramon, it's Jack. Everything clear outside?

Yes. Okay. I need you to come back to the building.

Did the woman agree to work with us?

I'll explain when you get here.

Yes.

Mr. President. Yes, Aaron.

Sherry Palmer is here.

Show her in.

Thank you.

Hello, Sherry.

David.

Thank you, Aaron.

Please have a seat.

Uh, no, thank you. I, uh-- I'd rather stand.

So, uh, how are things with Anne?

They're fine.

Good. I'm glad.

You, uh--

You deserve a little bit of happiness.

Thank you. You're looking well.

But somehow different. A little older?
