- Jack! - Put down your weapon. Now!

What the hell's going on?

Where's Ryan Burnett? What?

Senator Mayer's chief of staff. Where is he?

Tony doubled back to one of his contacts,

who gave him information of a second attack.

It's gonna take place here in Washington within the hour.

Juma's operatives are carrying it out.

Burnett's been supporting them all along.

He knows where the attack's gonna take place.

So you can either tell me where he is, or I will find him myself.

Mr. Burnett, you are a traitor and a terrorist.

I'm not. I love my country.

- -

Mr. Bauer, this is President Taylor.

Where's the target? Where's the target?

What you're doing is against the law, Mr. Bauer.

I am ordering you to stand down.

Where is...

Take Mr. Bauer away. He's under arrest.

You should have come to me. You should have presented your case.

And would it really have made a difference, ma'am?

- - Colonel Dubaku is dead.

Laurent must never know about this...

or about his father's cowardice.

There is no sign of my father.

Let me take his place on the assault team.

Spoken like a true Dubaku, Laurent. It is time for us to go.

This is it, Larry. No question.

They're moving out.

- Any idea what the next target is? - No.

From here, it is approximately 100 meters to the entrance.

Put it there... this bag.

Over there.

Right there.

Right there.

- Let's move. - Yes, sir. Let's go.

That's it. I need to see her right now.

Ms. Taylor, the president will see you as soon as she's able.

Well, you tell her her daughter is done waiting.

I'm going to the hospital to be with my father.

I think it'd be a good idea to talk to your mother before you do that.

The president's orders are that you remain in the White House.

So if I try to leave,

you will actually physically restrain me?

Now, that would never happen, Ms. Taylor.

Because I know you have too much respect for your mother and her office...

to ever let things get that far.

Well done, Agent.

You've been at this a while.

Five administrations, ma'am.

Olivia, your mother asked me to fill you in on what's happening.

Well, with all due respect, Ethan, you're the last person she should be sending.

There's about to be another terrorist attack on this city.

That's why she wants you to remain here.

You're talking about more planes going down?

We don't know, but whatever's going to happen will happen soon.

I'm heading to the Pentagon. On top of all of this,

there's also the invasion to deal with.

So bear in mind, your mother's under tremendous pressure right now.

It's only a matter of time before the media

picks up on the heightened security measures.

I want to issue a statement before that happens.

Play down the actual likelihood of an attack,

talk about the security measures as being due diligence rather than...

No, Meredith. The public deserves the truth.

We stress caution and calm...

but we acknowledge we have intel about another terrorist action.

Yes, ma'am. Angela and I will have something for you as soon as possible.

Madam President, Larry Moss is calling in.

He says he's got a lead on the attack. Put him through.

Agent Moss, you're on with the president.

Madam President, we've discovered what we believe was a staging area...

being used by terrorists on the south shore of the Potomac...

near the I.T.P. rail and shipyards.

Madam President, we've identified one of the men as General Juma.

- What? Juma's in D.C.? - Yes, ma'am.

And we know that there are at least a dozen other men involved in the attack.

And they are armed for a small war.

Have you found evidence that tells us where the target might be?

No, ma'am, but we have search teams out looking for the men,

and we're hoping that Agent Walker has more information.

She's the one who I.D.'d Juma, but, uh,

we've lost contact with her.

Lost contact? Yes, Madam President.

But we have every reason to hope that she's

still alive and in pursuit of the terrorists.

If she's out there, ma'am, we'll find her.

Hold it right there!

I'm Agent Renee Walker, F.B.I.!

Agent Walker? We just got an alert on you.

You need to call Larry Moss at F.B.I. right now.

Tell him there's gonna be a terrorist attack on the White House.

Yes, ma'am. I'll call it in right away. This is Thompson...

Ranger Thompson, please respond and report your location.

Ranger Thompson. Ranger Thompson, please respond and report your location.

Ranger Thompson.

Bill.

The Attorney General wants you transferred to

his custody so I can file criminal charges.

Have you learned anything else about the attack?

I reached Tony. He couldn't get any more information from his guy.

According to F.B.I., Renee Walker followed a lead on her own...

to an abandoned warehouse on the Potomac.

Got a visual on a heavily armed commando unit led by Juma himself.

But she went missing right after she called in. What do you mean, missing?

We're not sure. F.B.I.'s searching the area, but there's no sign of her...

or any evidence telling us what the target might be. Burnett knows.

The president offered him an immunity deal. He turned it down.

Hasn't said a word since. Damn it, Bill. He was talking when they stopped me.

Put me in a room with him for five minutes, and we can stop this thing from happening.

Jack, even if I was willing to release you, he's being transported to Kennedy Memorial.

You couldn't get access to him. Fine. Then you do it. You can get access.

I'm not trained in coercive techniques. This is not a maybe.

Ryan Burnett is an accessory to a terrorist attack.

If you don't do this, people will die.

I'm not arguing about what needs to be done, but I can't do it. It's not me.

That's not good enough. Jack.

Damn it, Bill. That's not good enough.

You were the one who told me... people who stand by,

they might as well help them plant the bomb.

You can do this.

Bill, you have to do this.

I can't, Jack. I'm sorry.

Bill.

I can't.

This is it, General.

Cimbe.

We're on the other side of the conduit.

Are you in position?

Yes, General. I will be ready for you.

What was that?

I thought I heard you say somethin'.

Just, uh, talking to myself.

Yeah. Hey, I tell you we're having people over on Saturday?

Nothing fancy. We're bringing in Chinese.

You think you're gonna make it this time?

Oh, Chinese.

I was looking forward to Sheila's cooking.

- All clear, General. - Excellent.

We'll have access in 10 seconds.

Once we're in, we'll have two minutes...

until the proximity alarms come back up.

Five, four, three, two, one.

Move!

I've accessed the Secret Service tracking grid.

Where is she?

Right here, in the Oval Office.

Let's go. Yes, sir.

Clear. Keep moving.

We will meet resistance, which we must counter quickly, silently.

We have nine minutes until the next Secret Service roll call.

We must find the president by then.

Yes, sir. Keep me up on your status.

Quiet.

The president is preparing to issue a statement to clarify that.

Yeah, I'll let you know as soon as it's ready for release.

Let go of the phone.

Huh?

Five minutes until roll call, General.

Stay with me.

I'm on it. Let's get this secure.

Down that way. All the way around. All the way.

Move it! Go! Go!

[Chattering On Radio] It's clear.

Heads up. 10:00. Let's go.

- Juma had your father killed. - What?

Listen to me. I know that Dubaku is your father. Juma's been lying to you.

- Your father is dead. - My father is alive!

Juma had to make sure that your father didn't talk,

so he sent a man named Udo to murder him.

No. I... I don't believe you.

I was there when Udo did it. That's how I found you...

By following him back to the railcar.

General Juma betrayed you.

You are lying. You are lying!

Renee! - Set it up.

I know the target!

Reissued warrants and order for transport, sir.

Transport is set. Stand by.

Sorry, Jack.

[ Man] This way, Mr. Bauer.

- Bill Buchanan. - It's Larry Moss.

Renee Walker says the target is the White House.

- How good is her intel? - Firsthand.

She says they're getting in via subterranean access.

I'll initiate a lockdown. You alert C.I.R.G.

This is Bill Buchanan.

I have confirmation the White House is the target of a terrorist attack.

Condition red. Repeat. Condition red. Secure the president.

Get to your posts. - All teams be advised. We have breach.

Jack, I could use your help.

I need to know you'll do exactly as I say.

You have my word.

Where's the president now? Oval Office.
