24

Previously on 24.

This is Jenny's statement to the press about the C.T.U. bombing.

Any casualties?

- Over a dozen so far. - Those people are dead because of you.

You're out, Eric, effective immediately.

You can't dismiss me now, sir.

I need someone I can trust.

Reza may be involved with a terrorist.

He's been in contact with someone who finances terrorist operations.

Trust me. He is not a terrorist.

I want you to drop this nonsense...

and start treating Reza like a member of the family.

How bad is she?

She needs surgery. We can't do that in the field.

- She stays here. - George, we can't keep her here.

Everything we have on this nuke has been destroyed.

The only intel we have left is the database that Paula sent to the N.S.A.,

and they didn't get the code.

Well, then, we'll assign other I.T. people to retrieve it.

We don't have time!

I want to go with her. I have some questions first.

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.

- You don't think I did this? - I'm gonna let the police sort that out.

Eddie told me everything went off without a hitch. What happened between then and now?

I killed them... for resisting arrest.

I'll kill you too, Joe.

Whoever set you up to do this job, Joe, they used you.

The woman who gave me the plans to C.T.U., I only met her twice.

I can't go back to jail.

No!

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

None of these girders are stable.

I can't guarantee that they're gonna hold.

And nothing behind this corded area is safe.

I don't want to see anyone in there, or I'll shut the building down.

I don't care what the governor says.

No, don't even try that bank. The switches were totally destroyed.

See if you can set up a generator line to the "A" island.

All right, I'm on it.

We've got to get her out of here.

What's the progress here? We're trying to bring her around...

using a combination of stimulants and hydrating fluids.

But it might make her more unstable.

We're running out of time, so just wake her up.

Where are you headed? To follow up on a lead that just came in.

There's an L.A. connection to Syed Ali.

Well, look, send somebody else. I need you here.

To do what? Watch Paula die?

Tony, we got to get the encryption codes out of her, or we're gonna lose everything.

We can't let that happen today.

Yeah, well, like I said, you got it covered. I'm gonna follow up on this lead.

No. You're gonna stay here, and that's an order. Look.

There's a Middle Eastern businessman in L.A....

who's had contact with Syed Ali recently.

Now, Ivers and Appell are dead. Who do you want me to send?

Be reachable. All right?

Yeah.

What are you looking at? Nothing.

Putting Band-Aids on the network? Yeah, I'm on it.

Mr. Mason? It's Jack Bauer.

Jack? What is it?

George, I got to Wald. I found out who commissioned him to take out C.T.U.

Who? It was Nina Myers.

Nina? She was his connection to C.T.U.

It doesn't make any sense. She's been in prison.

Wald approached her before we took her down.

She sold him everything, George: schematics,

gate information, personal data.

All of this has to be connected to the nuke.

So, what, they bombed C.T.U. to cripple our response capability?

Yes, yes. I've already called Chappelle.

You what? I couldn't find you, George.

- What did he say? - He agreed we need to talk to her.

He's having her transferred over to C.T.U. now for questioning.

Look, why don't you debrief at Division? It's a total disaster here.

Well, what are you gonna do about Nina? I'll take care of it.

Don't just hand her over to the F.B.I., George.

Forget it, Jack. You did a great job, okay?

Go find yourself someplace safe. George--

Michelle, can you get somebody to set up an interrogation room?

We got somebody coming in. Who?

Nina Myers.

The C.T.U. agent who killed Jack's wife?

I need as close to maximum security as I can get.

And three armed agents standing by.

We've reduced the likelihood on some of the targets.

We're left with six probable sectors.

There's the harbor-- Port of Los Angeles.

It's one of the busiest ports in the world. A strike there...

will knock out infrastructure--

I'm sorry to interrupt, Mr. President. The ambassador's just about to land.

Has there been any communication while he was en route?

No, not since this morning when it was decided he would come here.

Is he alone? No, he's being accompanied by Farhad Salim,

their ranking intelligence officer.

Get me anything new we've learned about Second Wave since this morning.

Yes, sir. Oh, and Lynne?

Is Roger here yet?

He's upstairs. They're bringing him up to speed...

on Rayburn's dismissal.

Good.

As far south as Mexico, but as I mentioned previously...

downtown Los Angeles is particularly vulnerable.

That's where the five major freeways merge.

If they hit this area, we'd also have--

Dr. Gerard, radiology. Dr. Gerard, radiology.

Everything's gonna be okay, Kim.

I'll tell you what.

If you leave now,

I'll tell the police that it was just a misunderstanding.

If you don't, they're gonna arrest you.

- Arrest me for what? - For kidnapping my daughter.

Where's Carla?

As soon as these officers talk to the doctor, Kim,

it's gonna be pretty obvious that you're the one that hurt her.

That's a lie and you know it. I would never hurt her.

I've been protecting her from you.

Well, the only thing that can be proved, Kim,

is that you took Megan without our permission.

You beat up your wife. Who's gonna believe you?

Carla will back me up. You know that.

I mean, if you don't believe me,

we can give her a call.

You wanna do that?

Go ahead, Kim, call her.

You walk away while you have the chance.

Otherwise, you're going to jail.

Stay away from my family!

Don't ever come to my house again.

Look, I wouldn't rule anything out, Mike.

If you co-opt local enforcement at this time the story could leak,

and that's one of my biggest concerns here.

You know what? Roger's walking in. I'll talk to you when you land.

Mr. President. Roger. It's good to see you.

Come into my office. Afternoon, everyone.

Be with you shortly. Very good, sir.

I can't tell you how disturbed I was...

with Eric's decision regarding C.T.U.

Twenty-nine dead and counting. It's inexcusable.

There'll be a full investigation, possible criminal charges.

You know I hate to meddle in your rice bowl,

but on a day like today I couldn't wait for you to arrive.

Say no more. Are you caught up on everything?

I'm caught up. I'd like to talk to you...

about this meeting with the ambassador.

Hmm. What are your thoughts?

We have everything to lose, nothing to gain.

Well, what we have to gain is stopping a nuclear bomb.

But this meeting benefits only the other side.

He wants to be able to say to the world,

"Look, we tried to stop the bomb."

It's a ploy to gain access to our intelligence, nothing more.

You might be right,

but I'm not as certain as you are.

I'm gonna meet with him.

Very good, sir.

Anything else? Not at this time.

Hold on. Sir.

Off-duty agents are finally arriving, and Division called.

The chopper just lifted off. Nina Myers is on board.

Good. Let's set up the mobile video unit for the interrogation then.

Okay. Laurie, I need you to call downstairs.

Get Bill. Have him bring up a video rack, okay?

Jack, what the hell are you doing here? I sent you to Division.

I want to do the debrief here.

I'm not gonna mince words with you. Nina killed your wife.

I don't want you anywhere near her.

George, my goal is the same as yours: to stop this bomb.

It makes more sense that I do the debrief here...

because there's no information on the Wald op at Division.

Please. All right.

Let me set you up with Knoll at, uh, Tech Support.

What about Ivers? Dead.

Clark? Dead.

We lost a lot of good people, Jack.

I'll get started on the debrief. Hey, do us both a favor.

Finish and go.

Yeah.

She's awake.

You better move fast. I don't know how much time you have.

Come on. Let's go.

Paula? It's George Mason.

Can you hear me? What happened?

We had a big explosion. Do you remember the encryption codes, Paula?

You're the only one who has them.

Stay with us, Paula. Paula.

You were transferring files out to N.S.A. Do you remember that?

- Yeah. - Yeah, well, the transfer didn't complete.

They didn't have the source decryption key.

The source? Yeah.

The source key. That's right.

See, normally you send it in a separate packet, but the router was destroyed.

Did you make a copy of the source key before you sent it?

Yeah.

What is it? Do you remember?

- Sub-volume. - Okay.

- Uh, which volume? - Which-Which volume? Which one?

Paula, stay with us. Which one?

Paula, your disk is partitioned into over 50 volumes.
