24

Agent Walker told me that there's a chance...

A small chance that I could help you.

I'm dying, and whatever small chance there is to stop that from happening,

it is not worth the pain...

for me to let you sit there and watch me die.

Daddy, I don't wanna lose you.

Come here. I don't.

What is it?

Sweetheart, I'm sorry. But you need to go.

Hodges was behind everything that happened today, from the planes going down...

to the attack on the White House. What?

He's also responsible for the death of my brother.

All you need to know is Hodges worked a deal.

Witness protection. My mother approved it, and he's going free.

Unless someone intervenes.

I'll get you contact information, a price...

and instructions on how to transfer the funds.

Martin, it's Olivia Taylor.

I spoke to the contact, but I couldn't go through with it.

Listen to me, Jibraan.

If you don't do exactly as I say,

you're gonna watch your younger brother die right in front of your eyes.

And then, I'm gonna kill you. Hmm?

It was the Americans who killed our parents, Hamid.

- I'm going to make them pay. - What have you done to my brother?

You've poisoned his mind. This isn't my brother.

We're looking for a man who worships here.

His name is Jibraan Al-Zarian. Do you know him?

I know him, but he is not a terrorist.

We did not come here to debate this with you! Where does he live?

You come into a house of worship with information you should not have,

an outrageous accusation, no legal warrant and threaten me.

I have not threatened you. Not yet.

But we both know where this is going.

Jack, it's Chloe. I found something weird about these hits on Jibraan Al-Zarian.

You know how I said the two million dollars...

was deposited into his account over a period of six months?

That wasn't right. They were backdated.

What about the extremist Web sites he was visiting?

Same thing with the time stamps. The hits were backdated 30 minutes ago.

Jibraan could be innocent.

What do you have, Agent? Armed hostile in the back room, holding a hostage.

What about Almeida? He's not in there. See for yourself.

- Is that who you're looking for? - No.

It's Jibraan's brother, Hamid.

They're using him as leverage to make Jibraan do what they want.

- How can you be sure? - That's what I would have done.

- Hamid, stop! -

Put it down. We're F.B.I. We need him alive.

The canister's being retrofitted to maximize dispersion.

We're on target to release the bioweapon...

at Washington Central Station within the hour.

Your casualty estimates are holding up? I think they're conservative.

A significant portion of the pathogen...

will escape into the station's ventilation system,

which will circulate it for us.

Between 8,000 and 10,000 commuters will be exposed.

Tell me about Mr. Al-Zarian. Is he compliant?

Yes. His primary concern at this point is for the safety of his brother.

And what's his level of awareness regarding the plan?

He won't know anything about the canister until it's too late.

Good. We'll talk once it's done.

- -

Trigger mechanism's working.

This device will tell me where you are at all times.

It'll also allow us to talk to each other.

Talk about what?

You still haven't told me what you want me to do.

Right now I just want you to get on the subway...

and take the Red Line all the way to Washington Center.

And when I get there? I'll let you know then.

I'm not stupid.

I know you are going to blame me for something.

Jibraan... What's your plan, huh?

You are going to hurt people?

Jibraan, the only person you need to worry about right now...

is your brother.

You follow my instructions, and Hamid lives.

You do something stupid, and he dies... badly.

Understood? Good.

Red Line, westbound, to Washington Center. Got it?

Let's go. Come on.

Sorry this had to happen like this.

We will find your brother.

How you doin' back there? You should talk to him.

Kid doesn't know anything,

except that his brother was taken by Tony about a half an hour ago.

He didn't overhear anything about a target or the time frame.

Right now, he's our only lead.

He's badly injured. I don't know if he's in any condition to talk.

Oh, God! Hold his head. I'm gonna give him some morphine.

No, you're not.

His wound is in the middle of a nerve cluster.

He can go into shock from the pain. I know.

Back off.

You should step out of the room.

Do what you need to do.

Where's Almeida? Please, just give me the morphine.

I'll give you the morphine as soon as you talk. Where's Tony Almeida?

What's the target? I don't know.

God!

- What's the target? - I don't know! I'm telling you the truth.

My job was just to watch the kid and monitor things here.

Almeida didn't tell me where he was going or where the target is.

How'd he contact you?

I can't.

Okay, okay.

I have a number.

But I'm not supposed to use it unless there's a problem.

You better start thinkin' of one fast.

- Where's his phone? - I have it here.

Give him enough morphine so that he can take the pain out of his voice.

Nothing more.

I want you to get Chloe to run a trace on this number.

Tell her to feed it back to our cell phones. -

You better start thinkin' about what you're gonna say.

You try and screw with me on this, it'll be the last thing you ever do.

You understand me?

Do you understand me? Yes.

Janis Gold.

It's Renee. I need Chloe to run a peer-to-peer cellular trace...

- from a G.S.M. I.D. - I can do that.

Jack asked for Chloe to run point on this.

What's the number?

Alpha-Charlie-3316. Got it.

I'll need you to run it back through to me and Jack. Hold on.

She's working on it. Good.

I'll open up the locate protocol. You establish a secure V.P.N.

All right, opening a channel on the inter-satellite... Why would you do that?

What? You know, connecting...

through a D.M.A. node would be a lot faster.

No, I don't know it's quicker to use a D.M.A.

node, or else I would have done just that.

I had no idea the D.M.A. nodes were up and running.

Really?

Because they've been up and running for about two years.

It's obvious I'll never be able to do things as well as you did at C.T.U.

All I ask is that you not make me feel like an idiot while you're pointing that out.

All right.

Agent Walker,

the trace is up and running whenever you're ready.

- Jack? - Chloe, I'm on.

You ready? What's the number?

202...

555-0147.

It's ringing.

Why are you calling me? I was checking Al-Zarian's computer,

double-checking everything we planted.

And? The bank that we used in Switzerland just e-mailed him,

rejecting one of the transfers we made in Al-Zarian's name.

You know how to resubmit it?

- I'm not sure. - Are you getting this?

Tony's got something on his phone that's encrypting his location.

I'm trying to get around it.

All right. Call our man in Zurich.

He'll walk you through it.

All right. I just wanted to get your authorization before I did that.

- Any other problems? - No.

Good. Chloe, did you get that?

I didn't have time to decrypt all the location data.

All I know right now is that he's somewhere in the Adams Morgan district.

We're running out of time. We're gonna have to narrow that down.

I'm trying. I have to decrypt the rest of the location data.

- How long is that gonna take? - I don't know.

Damn it, Chloe, we've gotta do better than that.

- I need to get off the phone. - Janis, I want you to contact Metro P.D.

I want you to get them to move their hazmat teams...

and their tactical teams over to Adams Morgan.

We're on our way now. Let's go.

Metro passengers, this weekend there will be no Blue Line express service...

to Arlington-McLean.

Express service will be resumed on Monday.

I need you to call the police. Excuse me?

Speak up, sir. I can't do that. They're listening.

Who's listening? The people who have my brother.

The terrorists.

They're gonna kill my brother unless I do what they say.

They want me to get on this train.

That's it? Just get on the train?

Yes, please. You have to help me, okay? You have to call the police.

Is there a problem here, sir? Yes.

Yes. Thank you, Officer. Please, I need your help.

Sir, just calm down. Step this way.

What is it? Listen.

They have my brother hostage, okay? You have to believe me.

Put the earpiece back in.

What? I said, put the earpiece back in.

Now.

Metro cards are available at all Metro stations.

Listen, Jibraan,

I understand you had to try, but don't do it again.

Your brother's life depends on it.

Yes, okay. Please... Just don't hurt him, okay?

Well, that's up to you. Yes. Uh, I do whatever you say, okay?

I won't cause any more problems, I promise. All right.

You remember your instructions?

Uh, yes. Uh...

Westbound Red Line to Washington Center.

We'll be watching.

We're always watching.
