24

Right now, terrorists are plotting

to assassinate a presidential candidate.

My wife and daughter have been kidnapped.

And people that I work with may be involved in both.

I’m Federal Agent Jack Bauer.

And this is the longest day of my life.

Take the next exit.

Placerita Canyon Road?

Yeah.

How much further is this place?

I told you I’d take you to your family, and I will.

That was the deal.

The deal is you better hope

my wife and daughter are still alive.

That’s the deal.

I’m sure my being here has been a big adjustment.

I appreciate the hard work and long hours

you’re all putting in.

There’s a high probability

that Senator Palmer is still in danger,

but we are making progress on several fronts.

Our most promising lead continues to be Jack Bauer.

Local and federal law enforcement have made

finding him a priority.

We’re also trying to locate the man

who impersonated a photographer

at the Senator’s appearance this morning.

This man may have been involved with Bauer.

I’ve told the agencies we’re working with

that they can expect full cooperation

from all of us.

Hopefully, we can repair some of the damage

caused by Bauer’s recent actions.

Thank you.

That’s all.

Bauer.

Jack.

You were right.

Kevin Carroll showed up.

He gave us the information we’ve been looking for.

I’m on my way to where Teri and Kim are being held now.

Where?

Somewhere in the North Valley.

East of the 5, between Tampa and Reseda.

I’m coming up onto some orange groves now.

Look, I want you to activate the GPS function

on the Palm Pilot that you sent me.

I need satellite photos

so that I can see what I’m going into.

Make sure that they’re high-res.

I need to be able

to identify structures and personnel.

Okay, I’m going to need a few minutes

to download off the satellite.

It won’t be a fresh image.

Fine. Give what you can. I’ll wait.

Jack?

What?

Green...

She’s still squeezing everyone here to bring you in.

I will turn myself in as soon as I know my family is safe.

She thinks I’ve been in contact with you.

Deny it. I’ll back you up as soon as I can.

Nina, look, I know you’ve put yourself on the line here.

No one’s twisting my arm. I got to go.

Was that Jack?

Yeah. Where is he?

He’s in the North valley.

He’s closing in on Teri and Kim.

Are you going to tell Green about this?

Not until he gets them out.

What if he can’t?

Then I’m going to have to live with my mistake.

Tony...

I appreciate your looking the other way on this

but don’t feel like you got

to help me cover for Jack anymore.

I’m not doing this for Jack.

Kimberly...

he tried to kill us.

I didn’t have a choice.

Taking a person’s life--

believe me.

I feel sick.

That’s just it, Mom.

I don’t... I don’t feel bad at all.

I... I don’t feel anything except happy he’s dead.

They’re looking for him.

Okay.

We have to get out of here before they find him.

Cover up the blood.

There’s two of them.

When they’re gone, we’ll move.

Nina?

Okay, I’ve got the satellite photos

but they’re a few hours old.

Hold on.

Okay, I’m ready to receive.

Are you there yet?

I’m just outside the perimeter.

I see a dozen or so people on the ground.

Some of them look like they’re carrying weapons.

That looks right from here.

There could be more people inside the buildings.

Jack, I think we should bring Green into this.

Come clean with her so she can authorize backup.

I don’t want backup.

Not until I know my family is safe.

You cannot go into an armed camp by yourself.

If something were to happen to you, then this whole thing...

Nina... my family is being held hostage because of me.

If you bring CTU into this

they could screw up and make this another Waco.

Send me the photo now.

I’m sending.

Thank you.

I’ll get back to you.

Get out of the car.

What are you doing, Jack?

Damn it, Jack.

Will you get a hold of yourself?

We had an agreement.

I bring you here, you let me go.

The agreement was as soon as my family is safe

I would let you go.

Jack, don’t be stupid.

Even if you get in there

you’re never going to find them without me.

Now come on.

Move.

Jack, please.

All right, all right.

You drive.

Jack...

if Gaines thinks for a moment that I brought you here,

he’ll have no problem killing us both.

Then we should avoid Gaines.

Get in the car.

Okay. Okay.

Just relax.

Just relax.

Real or not, the threat on your life

will probably give you a bounce on the polls.

What’s wrong, David?

I’m tired.

It’s something else.

You’ve been off your game since you spoke to Carl.

Carl’s going to stop the Kingsley story

from coming out by cutting off her source.

Keith’s therapist?

Yeah.

Did Carl say how he planned to do this?

No. Just said I better stay out of it.

Maybe that’s good advice.

But you don’t seriously think

Carl would do something to hurt this guy.

You know Carl better than I do.

You tell me.

I think you’re being paranoid.

But if you’re really concerned

I’ll call this therapist, tell him to be careful.

I already tried.

I got his voice mail both times.

You called him?

Exposing yourself like that.

For God’s sakes, David,

you’re running for President.

What were you thinking?

Anything goes wrong, everyone around the car dies

starting with you.

He’s been waiting for you.

I know.

What happened to you?

I had a fight with your wife.

Are you going to open up the gate

or do I have to do it myself?

Roll up the window and go.

Stop here.

How many men on site?

15, 20...

Which is it? 15 or 20?

I didn’t do the hiring.

My wife and daughter are in one of these buildings.

Which one?

I don’t know.

Take a guess.

This whole rescue act-- you really think

it’s going to make up

for how you screwed up your marriage, Jack?

Teri’s told me everything:

how you were never around...

the separation, I mean...

You’re wasting your time.

Teri’s been very lonely.

For the last time

which building are they in?

It’s this one.

It used to be used for cold storage.
