24

Without you, Sangala has no leader.

These people... they work for Dubaku, don't they?

Mr. Matobo. We've accessed the air intake to your safe room.

We're now feeding in ammonium distearate gas.

If you do not open the door, you will die. Ule.

Alama, no!

Get him out of there! Get the woman too.

Mr. Taylor. Sam.

I can't stay long. They killed Roger and made it look like a suicide.

- Who are they? - I don't know who they are.

They just said they would kill me if I said anything.

Roger was tasked with auditing the brokers in his department.

It's all here... account numbers, trading records, everything that he knew.

Roger was looking into things he shouldn't have.

You killed my son.

Tetradiazene, sir.

It's a neuromuscular paralytic.

Situation here is in control. Are you tracking Ms. Roth?

Yeah. Time to get her back to her apartment.

Ms. Roth. Henry Taylor sent me. Yes?

Mr. Taylor's been looking into the matter you discussed.

My God. He believes you're in imminent danger.

He wants me to place you in protective custody.

Larry, it's Renee. I've got a visual on them

loading Matobo and his wife into a truck.

- Where the hell is SWAT? - They're still about five minutes out.

Drop the gun. Far as I can tell, she's alone.

Damn you, Bauer, you son of a bitch.

Nichols wants her out of the way before we deliver Matobo.

Kill her. Yeah.

Turn around.

If you trust me, I will get you through this alive.

I want three more teams combing the site where Matobo was abducted.

Pull 'em in from Regional if you have to. We're gonna expand the search.

Coordinate with Metro Police to set up a

point-by-point grid encompassing a 10-mile radius.

And talk with N.S.A. I wanna back all of this up with synchronized satellite sweeps.

I'll do what I can. What does that mean?

Well, every time I ask for something, they pull that cloak and dagger nonsense.

I have to get approval for every little scrap of data.

Janis, this isn't easy for anybody.

Just please, make it happen. Yes, sir.

We know that another attack could be imminent.

The only way to stop it is to find Almeida and

Bauer and take control of the C.I.P. device.

Um, for those of you who haven't heard,

Renee Walker was abducted by these people.

We're the only chance she's got.

Well, let's get to work.

What've you got? Audio forensics cleaned up the recording.

Walker is extraneous. Kill her before you get here.

Okay. We'll be with you soon. Be quick about it.

Dubaku's anxious to get his hands on the prime minister.

We've been combing through it, looking for a tag that'll give up their location.

So far, nothing. Is there anybody else you can put on this?

Larry, I don't think it's worth it. There's nothing here.

All right. Fine. Help Janis coordinate with N.S.A. I'm sorry about Renee, Larry.

She was a good agent. We don't know that she's dead yet!

All right? All right.

Just...

Are you sure this is it?

She's gonna run out of air.

Tony said near the backhoe.

Here.

I got her, Chloe. I got her.

All right. Here she is. Here she is.

She's not breathing. Give me the adrenaline.

[Gasping, Coughing ] It's all right.

You're okay. You're okay.

- Who are you? - We're working with Jack.

He told us where to find you. It's gonna be okay.

Take deep breaths. You're gonna be okay.

We're close to the rendezvous point. What's your E.T.A.?

Good.

I'll see you then.

It's all set.

Nichols is on his way with the diamonds.

Something bothering you, Jack?

You know, I was wondering why you never told Tony how you got him out of C.T.U.

How did you do it?

Christopher Henderson.

Christopher Henderson tried to kill him.

Henderson had no intention of killing Tony.

He purposely missed the artery when he injected him.

It was just enough to slow his heart to the point where you'd think that he was dead.

My job was to extract and revive him...

and use him against you.

And?

By the time I stabilized him, you'd already killed Henderson.

The mission had failed, so my team went dark.

Why didn't you just let Tony go?

Tony chose to stay with us.

He was consumed with hatred and anger over what the government had done to Michelle.

Anyway, I talked to him.

More importantly, I listened to him.

Pretty soon, he came to realize that I was right.

About what?

That the rules had changed.

That there was nothing such as honor left.

That we would have to take care of each other.

Like brothers. - [ Litvak] Mr. Emerson.

Yeah? We're almost there.

How's the deal gonna go down?

Don't worry, Jack. You're about to find out.

Are you ready?

Yeah. Are you sure?

Yeah.

Go help Litvak with the door.

Go get the Matobos. Yeah.

You better tell me what the hell's goin' on.

Drop the gun, David.

I just couldn't figure out your play,

so I tried to give you some time so you'd come clean.

'Cause we are like brothers, right, Tony? Put the gun down, David.

You actually think that I would let you steal those diamonds from me?

It's not about the diamonds.

It's about killing innocent people. I can't let you finish this.

Take the shot.

Put down the weapon, or I will kill him. Tony, take the shot!

Shut up, Jack! Put it down, or he's dead!

David, I don't want to kill you, but I will!

Damn it, Tony! Drop the...

- - You okay?

Yeah. David?

Okay, you say Bauer and Almeida are working undercover, but C.T.U. has been shut down.

So, I mean, if you're telling the truth, who's running this operation?

We are. We're not working with any agency.

We believe there's been widespread infiltration of the government...

by Dubaku and the Juma regime.

Okay. I need to contact my boss.

He needs to know that I'm okay. You can't do that.

Why not? Dubaku has informants in the F.B.I.

If they found out you're alive, they'll know Jack is working against them.

You don't know who you can trust. I can trust Agent Moss.

You're not listening to me. You cannot contact the F.B.I.

You will jeopardize this operation, and I won't let you do that.

Well, I don't work for you. I work for Larry. Now, give me a phone.

- Sit still, please. - We're nearing the endgame.

Dubaku is the key to finding out who in the government has been corrupted.

Luckily, we have something he wants.

Matobo?

He's our best chance to locate Dubaku, reacquire the C.I.P. module...

and get to the bottom of the government corruption.

Until all that happens, you have to stay dead.

Yeah? Did you find Agent Walker?

Yeah, we got her, Jack. She's fine. Where are you?

Northwoods Airfield. Litvak is dead. Emerson's been wounded.

Nichols is en route. I need you to get over here now. Have you talked to Matobo?

Not yet. He needs to agree to this. We can't do it without him.

I'll get him to agree. Just get over here.

It's all right.

What the hell is going on?

Mr. Matobo, I'm not gonna hurt you or your wife.

I know how scared you are, and I know what

you've been through, but we are here to help you.

What in God's name are you talking about? You kidnapped us!

We had to, to gain Dubaku's trust. That's the man we're after.

We're trying to stop him.

I want to call my people.

I can't let you do that. Not until you hear me out.

Sir, we have a plan to stop Dubaku, but we can't do it without your help.

We don't have much time. Please, come with me.

Mr. Dubaku.

I'm heading to the meeting place. They're bringing Matobo now.

- And his wife? - Both of them.

Once you have Matobo, you know what to do.

Emerson's team is now a loose end. Tie it off.

Are you sure about this?

We may need their services again.

I would rather keep my diamonds.

And Almeida has proved to be a liability.

So... any response from the White House?

Not the one we wanted. American forces are still in position.

President Taylor must know we have Matobo.

She can't attack Sangala without him.

The country would collapse.

Taylor may be holding out hope that she can somehow retrieve Matobo.

Or she doesn't believe we are willing to carry out our threats.

She will only respond when there are dead Americans.

I'll call you when I have Matobo.

These gentlemen are at your command.

There are still 1,300 planes in the air.

Which region do you want targeted?

Washington, D.C.

Yeah.

Yeah. I understand, Bob.

All right. Thanks.

That was Bob Cornell at N.S.A.

They've detected another firewall breach. There's been another attack?

Not yet, but they believe the C.I.P. device is being utilized.

We have to assume Dubaku is initiating another attack.

It's safe to say this won't be another warning shot.

This time, Dubaku's gonna make sure that people die.

I want to speak personally with all first responders across the country.

They need to know to brace for the worst and that they have our full support.

Instead of preparing for it,

maybe we should be trying to preempt this attack, Madam President.

The deadline Dubaku gave us for withdrawing our troops from Sangala has passed.

But if we made some kind of gesture,

began an immediate pullback, it might keep Dubaku from pulling the trigger.
