For God's sake, pull yourself together.

You didn't have to kill her. Yes, I did.

Because you didn't have the courage to kill her yourself.

Courage? To poison a girl who did no harm to you at all?

This is my husband, Navi. This is Debbie's mother.

Is she here? We haven't seen her since yesterday.

Get in the car. Follow her. Make sure she doesn't go to the police.

Chloe, you're out of here.

- Chloe. - Don't worry. Driscoll doesn't know you were helping me.

She doesn't? I'm the one who got you into this.

I'm not gonna sell you out.

You'll be here until you tell me what I need to know.

Richard, your father was kidnapped by terrorists.

Our polygraph analysis tells us that you're

hiding something that might help us find him.

There are people on the outside looking for us.

You cannot give up. I have to do something while I still can.

This trial is gonna be a spectacle. Broadcast all over the world,

- designed to humiliate and degrade this country. - There's a gas pipe.

You've checked out the briefcase? It's fine.

I was afraid it might be damaged in the train crash. The case is very strong.

Come on. Take them out! Now!

Hurry! Open the door! Now!

- I know you. - She recognized me.

- She has to be killed. - Erin, I'm on-site.

- Jack, stand down. - What are you talking about?

The marines won't get there on time.

The president wants to take out the building with a missile strike.

With the secretary and his daughter inside? Yes. I'm sorry.

You're gonna have to clear the area.

Jack, don't go in there alone. Jack, clear the area.

The building is going to be destroyed.

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

James Heller, you have been brought before this court of law...

to stand trial as a war criminal.

We will prove to the people of the world...

that these crimes against humanity are the direct result...

of the policies initiated by you in your capacity.

Since the true extent of your evil legacy is immeasurable,

we have done our best to document those acts...

which have been witnessed directly by the chosen followers.

Under your orders, the death squads of America

continue their imperialist crusade...

against the true believers and pure followers.

How much longer until the fighter's ready to launch the missile?

Command and control is locking on target now.

Mr. President, I have Erin Driscoll on line three.

Mr. President, I'm calling to ask you...

- to consider aborting the missile strike. - Based on what?

We are attempting a rescue operation.

I was told that the marine strike force was still 10 to 20 minutes away.

They are, sir. Jack Bauer went in by himself.

A terrorist group is moments away from executing...

the secretary of defense in front of the world,

- and I cannot allow that to happen. - I understand, sir.

But if Jack can effect a rescue before that happens?

In that case, I'll abort the missile strike.

But he's running out of time. How long does he have, sir?

Seven minutes.

Try and make a sound, I'll blow your head off.

This is a map of the complex.

Where are they holding the secretary of defense?

I'm either going to kill you now,

or you're going to tell me where they're staging the trial.

Point now. Where is the secretary?

There is no place in this world where your evil...

has not scoured the sacred land of the true word.

Your imperialist legacy has devoured the lives of the innocent.

Jack. Yeah?

The president won't call off the missile strike. How much time do I have?

Less than six minutes.

Did you get a read from the thermal scan on how many hostiles inside?

We estimate 16. Jack--

I'm not turning back, Erin.

Understood. Good luck.

...will finally know the injustices you have committed.

...as a master who engages the world-- Stop this, please.

on behalf of a benign government.

Just stop this, please. You've gotta stop this.

My father hasn't done anything to hurt you.

He's an innocent man. Please!

Your ignorant followers-- Please.

He's an innocent man.

Please. To serve a false god,

- while the true believers wait patiently-- - Listen to me.

Please. No. Don't. No, wait. Please. You've gotta stop it! Listen!

- Audrey. -

Behind you. Oh, my God. Jack.

Are you all right? Did they hurt you?

I'm okay. You've got to stop them.

I will. Get my father first.

- Go. - A triumph over your nation.

Take this.

Press the button on the handle.

You use that if you have to.

I'll be back for you. I promise.

Jack.

Finally, we hold you responsible for blasphemy,

for desecrating holy lands and shrines,

and for spilling the blood of our brothers.

James Heller, your guilt on these charges is not a matter of dispute.

I have here a full confession...

which you have signed.

So now it is time for your sentence to be read.

And for the execution of that sentence to be carried out.

James Heller,

before the eyes of God, I sentence you to death...

carried out immediately.

Call off the missile. Call it off.

- Abort. Abort. Please confirm. - He's doing it.

There's one in the pipe. Safety's off. We've gotta get Audrey.

Down the hall.

- It's been aborted. The strike's been called off. - Where are the marines?

They haven't crossed the perimeter. I'll get an updated E.T.A.

We're clear.

She was here. We gotta go. Move! Move!

Take the two shooters at your 11:00. You ready?

Ready. Go!

Give me a clip.

- - Jack!

It went off my vest. It's all right. Keep firing.

I'm out.

I'm out too.

It's the marines. Stay down!

Mr. Secretary, stay down. Just stay down until this area is secure.

Jack. Jack.

Stay there. Step back.

Stand down! Step back or I'll kill her.

Drop it! Now! I'll kill her. I will kill her!

Do it! Do it! Okay. Just relax.

- Audrey, stay calm. -

Just relax.

This is over. You are surrounded.

You're right. But first, you'll watch her die.

Yes, sir.

The president sends along his gratitude.

I'm just glad you both are all right.

It's been a while since you've been in the

field. Looks like you haven't skipped a beat.

- Audrey and I owe you our lives. - Thank you, sir.

I've arranged transportation for us back to C.T.U.

I'd like you and Audrey to be debriefed there.

Just as long as we don't lose any time in finding out who these terrorists are...

and where they're coming from. As soon as we get back there,

I'll set up a live feed with the office and Washington.

You won't miss a step. Those soldiers there are waiting to take us back to C.T.U.

- Thanks, Jack. -

How's she doing? A doctor needs to check out some of these contusions,

and she's dehydrated. Thank you.

We should go. Where?

I'm taking you and your father back to C.T.U.

Jack, when I was inside, I recognized one of the men. Who?

I don't know. I can't place him, but I know that I saw him before today.

They're gonna correlate a photo file of all the casualties.

As soon as they've got that, you can make your I.D.

Excuse me. This is Bauer.

Agent Bauer, this is C.T.U. I've got Paul Raines on the line.

He'd like to speak with his wife. Is she with you?

Hold on one second. It's Paul. He wants to speak with you.

Paul.

- Audrey. Are you okay? - Yeah. I'm fine.

Thank God. Where are you?

As soon as I heard about you and your father, I got on a plane.

You're in L.A.? Yeah, I'm at C.T.U.

Audrey. Yeah?

See you soon.

I'll see you soon.

We need to go.

- You all right? - Mm-hmm.

Okay.

Make sure Edgar gets this. Got it.

Find anything?

I'm still trying to connect up with the feed from the rescue site.

Division's using up most of our bandwidth.

Call over there and tell them to multiplex. We need to start going through the debris.

Now that Heller's safe, we're no longer in first position.

Ms. Driscoll. I took care of it.

- What's that? - A list of pass codes for the F.B.I. fiber.

You can use their feed. How did you get that?

I used to consult there, still have friends.

As soon as I saw the load on the routing table, I knew we'd run into a traffic jam.

Good. Install it.

Start cataloging whatever's there. Anything that flags, promote it up to me.

Yeah.

You know, if you let me, Curtis, I could help you a whole lot more.

Honestly, I don't even know why you have a problem with me.

Because I'm ambitious? Okay, I'm ambitious. Aren't you?

- I don't sleep with people to get ahead in my career. - Neither do I.

I slept with you because I was attracted to you. I still am.

Deal with it.

A White House spokesman has confirmed that the interrupted video transmission...

was caused by a raid mounted by the marines and the Counter Terrorist Unit,

who rescued Secretary of Defense James Heller moments ago.

Are you watching this? Yes, I'm watching. Of course I'm watching.

- Things look good. - God willing, our good fortune will continue.

Well done. Thank you.

What are you talking about? It's over. They found Omar.

The government stopped the trial. Yes, I know.

Then how can you say this is all good fortune?
