24

Previously on 24--

We've established a direct link between Stanton...

and the rogue mercenaries that shot down Bauer's plane.

Stanton won't be easy to break.

You may need to expand the limits of how far you've been willing to go in the past.

Mr. Stanton? By order of the President, I'm placing you under arrest.

What I'm about to ask you to do falls outside the parameters of your charge...

at Secret Service. What would you like me to do, sir?

I don't know what you're talking about.

Where is she now?

She ran off after the accident.

I don't know if she's trying to avoid the local police...

- or just trying not to get brought back to L.A. - Just find her, George.

Ow!

Marie, we have a problem. What is it?

- Basheer and Marko are dead. - What do you need me to do?

- They were supposed to pick up the trigger. - Where is it?

At the place where Marko worked, in his locker.

You must do whatever you can to gain access

to this locker and bring the trigger to Omar.

I'll take care of it.

I think I've earned the right to know what's going on.

We believe that Syed Ali is at the center of a terrorist attack.

We need you to identify him for us.

He's in there. Syed Ali, he's in there.

- Damn it! - He's dead, Jack.

These clothes don't belong to this man.

Maintain secure exits. Ali is still in the building.

The following takes place between 7:00 p.m. and 8:00 p.m.

You're going to have to step outside until we can get the situation resolved.

Agent Bauer told me to stay. Talk to him.

I will as soon as you step outside. She stays with us.

She's got to make the final identification on Ali as soon as we find him.

We got this in the pocket of the man Ali set on fire.

It might be part of a document that Ali was carrying.

Photo it, send it to C.T.U., see what they can find.

Are you trying to protect this man?

No, Agent Bauer, I have no misplaced loyalties.

If the man you are looking for has murdered an innocent...

he is as guilty in the eyes of Islam as he is in yours.

The man that I'm looking for set in motion a plan today...

to detonate a nuclear weapon in Los Angeles.

Are you certain? Yes, we're certain.

Our estimates are between one and two million

people will die if this bomb goes off.

That, sir, is why we need to find him now.

Thank you for informing me,

but I can be no more honest with you than I have been.

But if you find this man...

perhaps I can talk to him in a way you cannot.

Persuade him.

Agent Bauer.

Thank you.

We found something I think you should see.

We found this trap door. It's not on any of the schematics you gave us.

Open it.

I'll go down. I'm going down alone.

This is your operation, but-- Listen to me.

We just lost one of Ali's men to a cyanide capsule hidden in his tooth.

We have to assume Ali's willing to take his life the same way.

He can't see us coming.

Have your men assemble at the base of the ladder.

Await my instructions. Have you got your baton with you?

Right here. Let me have it. Okay.

Hello? Marie.

There has been a change of plans. Why? What's going on?

Just go to the rendezvous point.

If I'm not there within one half hour of the time we have planned,

then you know what to do.

You remember what I said, yes?

I remember.

I've got the suspect!

Engage the room! Engage the room!

- Get his legs! - Get him on the table.

That's him! That's Syed Ali!

Get her out of here! Get her out of here!

- - Get her out of here!

I got the cyanide. Get him ready.

Baker!

Find out who he was talking to.

It's hard not to sit here and think that there must be some mistake...

even with the evidence you have.

It's black and white, Bob.

Your daughter killed Reza and two of our agents.

We're gonna need you to help us understand what her connection to Syed Ali is.

Well, if I'd known she was involved, I would've done something.

And now that you do know,

does it help explain any strange behavior?

Anything you can tell us will help.

Well...

Marie went to college in London...

while I was working there.

That's when her mother died...

and it hit her-- it hit her hard-- hit us all hard.

- And? - She ran away for a while.

How long?

Oh, three...

maybe four weeks.

We got the police involved, but...

she sent us a letter saying that she was fine,

that she was-- she was traveling...

and she just needed some space.

And when she came back--

well, I was so grateful to see her...

that I stopped asking questions.

No sense that anything had changed?

Any fundamental difference?

She had become less politically inclined.

You know, she-- Marie had always flirted with causes-- I mean, respectable causes...

like save the wilderness or abolish the death penalty.

She stopped talking about all that.

Well, that's precisely what happens when you're radicalized.

Handlers train you to stop talking about anything and keep it to yourself,

so you're better able to blend into the background.

Marie had handlers?

Hey. Can it wait?

I'll be right back with this.

This scan just came in from the mosque.

It's a burnt paper fragment found in Ali's clothing.

The only thing visible to the naked eye is in the lower left quadrant.

Looks like a piece of a number. A six, or maybe an eight.

Are all our forensics people out in the field?

We just got Murdoch on loan from San Diego.

He's an expert with computer imaging.

If anyone can see this, he can.

- How you doing? George Mason. - Hey, man. Randy Murdoch.

Nice to meet you. Good to meet you.

- - Any way to accelerate the process?

My C.P.U.'s a lot faster than anything you guys got...

and parallel processing would take way too long to set up.

But check it out, if it's happening, if there's anything there, I'm gonna get it.

Okay, great. Where's Tony on the satellite feed Jack wants?

In progress. Thank you. Keep it up.

All right.

Who else knew about the bomb, Mr. Stanton?

I don't know what you're talking about.

Jack Bauer's interrogating Syed Ali as we speak,

and we're being informed of his progress...

on a minute-by-minute basis, but nothing yet.

- We're certain this man knows the location of the bomb? - Jack Bauer is.

Make sure he has all the resources he needs.

Yes, sir.

The pain's only going to get much, much worse.

Agent Simmons tells me that Roger received...

the same training at resisting interrogation he did.

- I'm increasing the voltage. - But everyone breaks eventually.

I understand you have an entry point.

As far as we know, she entered the forest...

somewhere between A-3 and A-4 on the topo map.

A-4 and heading-- No. No idea which way she was headed.

Keep me posted, all right? What are you doing?

Getting more men out there looking for Jack's daughter.

After I specifically told you to divert all resources to the bomb.

The satellite feed is happening. I'm not using our resources.

I was telling the sheriff to look for her.

Tony, you're a resource. I don't want you to split your attention.

I promised Jack I would do everything in my power to look for Kim,

just like you did. Kim is outside the blast radius.

The rest of Los Angeles isn't. Stay focused on the bomb, Tony!

That goes for everybody!

L.A. County Ranger Station. Yeah, this is Tony Almeida at C.T.U.

I'm trying to track somebody who went into the Angeles Crest Forest...

about an hour ago. Hold while I transfer.

Yeah.

Hey. Somebody there?

Hello?

Who are you? What are you doing out here?

Me? What are you doing here?

I got into a car accident. I started running.

Before I knew it, I was out here.

I had no idea where I was. I got stuck in this stupid thing.

Look, all I want to do is get back to the highway and get out of here.

Why were you running from the highway in the first place?

I told you. I was scared and panicked.

Damn it.

Let me see.

Oh, God, thank you.

Comin' through here.

We're moving into position now. Baker out.

I know who you are. I know everything that you've done.

Where is the bomb?

Where's the bomb?

You are wasting my time.

- When is the bomb gonna detonate? - You're the one wasting time.

I woke up today knowing I would die.

I can make you die with more pain then you ever imagined.

Then I will have that much more pleasure in paradise.

Right.

I'm gonna figure out how we're going to get you to the nearest ranger station.

Uh, no, that's okay. I don't want to go back there.

For the same reason you ran from the highway?
