Previously on 24.

Did you check the passport information I gave you?

I did. It confirms that Reza Naiyeer has had contact with Syed Ali.

My sister is marrying someone who works with

terrorists, and you expect me to act normal?

You could endanger yourself and your family if you let on that anything is wrong.

I understand.

George, we need you to check out a warehouse in the Valley.

The substance you inhaled is, well, plutonium.

How much time do I have? Could be as much as a week...

or as little as a day.

What's going on out here?

Jack Bauer says that Wald's crew is planning to blow up C.T.U.

- Have you contacted C.T.U.? - Bauer hasn't gotten to Wald yet.

If we stop Wald's crew, they may realize Bauer turned them in.

Contact C.T.U. immediately.

I'm never gonna let him hurt you again.

Dispatch says you're reporting a child abduction.

She took my daughter. Describe the suspect for me.

- Her name is Kimberly Bauer. - It's kind of messed up. I have the police after me.

- Can you get here to C.T.U.? - Yeah, I guess so.

My name's Kimberly Bauer. Tony Almeida is expecting us.

You really think you're gonna take that building down with three charges?

- What made you target C.T.U.? - Why are you asking so many questions?

We did it, Jack.

Good job, Eddie. Good job.

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

The walls are coming down.

Fifty-six and Raymond Companies are responding.

We have seven D.O.A.s in the alpha zone. What's your count?

Ten so far. We need more E.M.T. support at the north entrance.

Roger that. Fire and rescue teams are en route.

I think he's over here! Come on!

Help me! [ Indistinct Chattering ]

Which way did they go? Which way?

I think my arm is broken.

Tony.

Tony?

This way. Can we get some help over here?

- A little help? - Tony!

- Michelle! -

Look, I need you to set up a triage. And take Luke with you.

Okay, Luke. I've got you. It's Michelle.

Let me see that. Paula? Paula, can you hear me?

We've got 15 dead. What-- What happened?

You don't have to speak. Just blink your eyes if you can hear me.

We're gonna get you out of there. Just hang tight. All right?

She's bad, man. We've got to get a crane...

or hydraulic lift or something in here now.

We have to be careful. If we pull off the wrong piece,

the whole thing could come down and crush her.

We have to do this brick by brick.

It's gonna take forever.

All right. Let's do it.

It's okay. We're gonna be all right.

You're being real brave. Real--

Shh, shh, shh. Come on. I don't feel very well.

We're gonna be okay. We're gonna be out of here soon. Okay? All right?

Megan? Megan!

Somebody help me!

- Please, I need some help! - Hold her down.

- What's wrong with her? - Hold her down!

What's the matter? Megan!

Megan! She's seizing. We've got to get her to the E.R. right away!

- What's wrong with her? - I got you.

Sir, we did everything we could do.

If only Bauer had called earlier. Even a few minutes...

could have saved those people.

Until we know more, I'd like to go over my evacuation plan for L.A.

It's on your desk. I'll call you when I'm ready to meet on it.

Thank you, sir.

Those people are dead because of you.

I wanted to tell the president. But you didn't.

Because of you, Eric.

You made sure that I couldn't get through to him.

As far as I know, Bauer never called. You're the one who spoke to him.

Are you blackmailing me? I'm protecting the president.

Lynne, whatever you know or think you know,

I suggest you keep it to yourself.

Everything in your car-- I had it cleared out and put into the ambulance.

So whenever you're ready to go to the hospital-- Uh--

So, uh, how's it gonna happen? Excuse me?

You said I might be dead by tomorrow.

I'm just curious to know what to expect for the rest of the day.

Uh, there's a latent period where you'll be mostly asymptomatic...

even in the most extreme cases of radiation poisoning.

It can last a while. What's a while?

Uh, up to 12 hours, maybe longer.

How do you feel now?

Like I'm gonna puke.

I can give you something to control the nausea.

Thanks. At least until the, uh,

symptoms are more acute.

Yeah, like, uh-- like what?

Your hair will start to fall out.

I'm used to that.

You'll start to manifest...

gastrointestinal hemorrhaging,

skin lesions, bleeding from the mouth and the nose.

Okay. So how am I gonna die?

Um,

your mental functioning will begin to deteriorate,

and, uh, then you'll lapse into a coma-- Mr. Mason.

- Not now. - A guy from your office-- - Not now!

He said it's urgent. It's okay.

- Hey, Tony. What is it? - They hit us, George. They bombed C.T.U.

What-- What kind of damage?

Damage reports are still coming in, but so far we've got 19 people dead,

20 wounded, and seven missing.

Look, we're bleeding bad here, George.

All of our intel on the nuke was destroyed.

It's on the N.S.A. server,

but Paula wrote the decryption code, and she's in really bad shape.

- Just do whatever you have to to retrieve it. - Yeah, well, I am.

That's what I'm trying to do. That's why I called you. Chain of command, remember?

Call N.S.A. systems people. Get them on it.

I already did, George. Good.

Look, when are you coming back here?

I-I'm not sure.

Well, the sooner the better.

Look, the truth is, I may not be coming back.

Why not? I'm not really in a position to help out.

What are you talking about?

Look, a nuclear device is set to go off sometime today in Los Angeles.

We just lost half the people who were in a position to keep it from happening.

So don't tell me you're still trying to cover your own ass!

Look, just deal with it, Tony, okay? Just deal with it. All right?

Yeah, right.

Jack, you come with me.

All right. Light her up, and let's get out of here.

Hey, Joe. It's done.

No, nothing. Yeah.

Yeah, I can do it.

Give me the address.

Yeah, I know where it is.

All right.

All right. Out.

Was that Joe? Yeah. Let's go.

Give me the matchbook, Eddie.

What the hell you doin', Jack? I'm a federal officer.

You're under arrest. Now, give me the matchbook.

Jack, you helped plant those bombs, and you cut Goren's head off.

I know what I did, Eddie.

Put your right hand on the steering wheel.

Very slowly, with your left hand, pass me your gun.

You know, Jack, when Joe finds out about this, you're a dead man.

Shut up, Eddie, and get out of the car.

- Son of a bitch. -

Tony Almeida's line. Who's this?

- Michelle Dessler. Who's this? - Michelle,

this is Jack Bauer. What's going on over there?

There was an explosion about 20 minutes ago.

Twenty-one casualties. The number's growing.

Why wasn't C.T.U. evacuated?

There wasn't any time. What do you mean, there wasn't enough time?

- What about Mason? Is he all right? - He wasn't here.

How about Tony Almeida? He's okay.

He's helping the rescue workers.

Fine. Can you handle the situation report? Yeah.

- Okay, go ahead. - I've located Joseph Wald. I'm on my way there now.

What about Wald's crew? They're all dead.

- Dead? - Just let Mason know I'm on my way to Joseph Wald's house.

The address is 221 Canyon View Road in Simi Valley.

- Okay. I'll send backup. - Okay.

Oh, Michelle, let Mason know I talked to Kim. She is leaving the city.

Yeah, she called here, too, and she spoke to Tony. She did? What did she say?

I'm not sure, but I'll look into it. Okay. Get back to me. Thanks.

Paula! Paula?

Is she okay?

Tony. Tony? What's up?

Just got off the phone with Jack Bauer. Where is he?

He's on his way to see Wald. He wanted Mason to know.

Mason's checked out. Just get the information directly to N.S.A.

Oh, and he asked about his daughter, Kim.

Oh, no. What?

She was on her way here. Look,

can you check the security logs and see if she was in the building?

Thanks.

Is Megan all right? She will be.

Her seizure was caused by pressure on the brain...

compounded by a skull fracture.

We got out in time. She wasn't injured in the explosion.

Yes, I know. From what I've seen,

her head injury most likely occurred before the blast.

Megan's X rays indicate other prior injuries--

a fractured wrist, several fingers that have never been treated.

- What are you saying? - These injuries suggest a possible pattern of abuse.

You don't think I did this? You don't think I hurt her?

I'm gonna let the police sort that out.

Understand, Bill, they're limiting access.

All we know right now is that a short time ago...

a major explosion ripped through this government building in Los Angeles.

No statement has been issued by the government regarding the cause,

although early speculation has included rumors of terrorist involvement.

As far as I'm concerned, this tips in favor of evacuation.

I assume you've all read Eric's report...

recommending the evacuation of Los Angeles.

The C.T.U. bombing is just the beginning.

It's only a matter of time before the questions become rumors,

and the rumors set off a mass panic.
