Walsh isn’t answering.

As soon as you reach him you find me.

Is this the crew list from the 747?

Yeah. Want me to contact NTSB

get a maintenance history on the plane?

No, for now let’s just assume this was not an accident.

Why?

The flight originated out of Berlin.

It’s exactly where Walsh said

the shooter was coming from.

I need you to give me a breakdown

of the crew and passenger list--

political affiliation, criminal record

country of origin and residence.

Jack.

What?

You want to tell me what’s going on around here tonight?

What’s going on?

You mean, besides a 747 falling out of the sky

and a threat on a presidential candidate’s life?

That’s right. Besides that.

Look, George Mason comes in here

disappears up in your office for a half an hour

then he limps out.

What’s that all about?

Tell him, Jack.

Fine, then I will.

Nina...

The three agents that Jack brought down on bribery charges

last year were close friends of Mason.

Mason’s been looking for payback ever since.

He chose tonight to make some pretty nasty accusations

about Jack as well as some other people in this office.

Now, in case you haven’t noticed

Jack doesn’t have a lot of tolerance for criticism.

I need that right away.

All right, look, I’ll get you that list within the hour.

Thank you.

That was quite a story.

It’s better than the truth.

Did you get the ID?

Yes.

[motorcycle approaching)

You know, it’s funny.

When you came to Jack’s rescue back there

with your performance, it reminded me of something.

Yeah, what?

Remember that time

we came into work together about a month ago

and Lisa made some wisecrack remark

and you came up with this really great BS story--

an early breakfast meeting with District 3.

I was really impressed

with how convincing a liar you are.

What’s your point, Tony?

I still want to know what happened up there between Jack and Mason.

I already told you.

And I don’t believe you.

Maybe I should ask Mason.

A presidential candidate’s life’s at stake.

Maybe you should get back to work.

I think we need to turn right here.

There it is.

Janet?

Janet?!

Hello.

Hey, sweetheart.

So, have you found the girls yet?

No, huh-uh. We just got here.

Janet’s car is parked out front.

I just got into the store.

That’s all right. I’ll wait till you check it out.

No, let me call you back.

Teri, I’ll hold.

Kim?

Teri?

Kim?

Teri?

Kim?

They were here.

What did you give her?

Nothing she didn’t want.

Look, my dad is a government agent.

I thought you said your dad was dead.

Well, he’s not.

And if I’m not home in the next half hour

he’s going to be all over this.

Told you you should have given her a roofie.

I’m serious.

You two are toast.

She’s giving me a headache, dude.

Just chill, okay?

You chill.

Walsh.

Did anyone see you come in?

No.

You sure you weren’t followed?

Scott, take it easy.

No, I’m not going to take it easy.

I’m not.

I should never have called you.

If you have evidence that someone inside the Agency’s

involved in a plot against David Palmer,

then you had no choice.

Here.

It’s all yours.

I’m out of this.

Wait, wait, wait.

A key card?

Yeah, it’s just a simple key card.

The kind we use to get in and out of the building.

I don’t get it.

Normally the magnetic stripe

has just an access code on it.

But the stripe can hold a ton of data.

On this one, I found a file

filled with references to Palmer.

What’s the point?

To smuggle confidential information.

These get in and out

of restricted areas without any scrutiny.

I need you to be reachable throughout the day.

You said after tonight I’m done.

I can’t help it, Scott.

Until we defuse this situation

I need to be able to find you.

I find out there’s an Agency conspiracy

to kill David Palmer

and the moment I realized what I stumbled onto

I put my wife and kid on a plane.

I couldn’t even tell them why.

I’ve been with the Agency long enough to know what I’m dealing with.

This is your thing now.

I’m out.

Scott...

what you did took a lot of courage.

I’m just asking you to hang in there with me

a little longer.

Well, I did my part. Get someone else.

There is no one else.

You got me for another 24 hours.

Then I’m joining my family.

Yes, I know Palmer gets a lot of death threats

but this one’s got some weight.

Listen, we’re already overloaded.

No, you’re going to have to make

some adjustments in your schedule.

You’re going to have to notify his advance team

and tighten up security on your end.

Look, I’ve got to go.

I’ll update you in an hour.

You’ll update...? Yes.

One hour? Yes, fine.

Teri...

Jack... I need you.

Richard?

Yeah.

I’m at the 2350 Dunlop Plaza.

I got two shooters trying to hit me

and an agent down.

Richard, what’s going on?

I’ve got hard information on who’s behind the Palmer hit.

Isley can get there before me.

He’s in the area.

No, don’t call anyone.

We still don’t know who we can trust, Jack.

Just... get me out of here.

I’ll be there in ten minutes.

I’ll be on the roof.

Richard?

Richard?

Hello.

Hey, it’s me. What’s going on?

Is Kim at the store?

No, she’s not here.

I thought you said you saw their car.

Yeah, well, we think she left with the boys.

This guy you’re with, York

does he know either of these boys?

No, but one of them, Dan, works here.

Listen, Jack, I’m starting

to worry a little bit.

Can’t you get over here?

I can’t. Not right now.

Look, I don’t have time to explain

but some very bad things are happening tonight.

Our daughter is missing.

I think that’s pretty bad, don’t you?

Teri, she’s not missing. She’s partying.

Kim’s smart enough to know her limits.

Oh, yeah?

Maybe you should come over here

and see what those limits are, Jack.

What’s that supposed to mean?

Nothing.

We’re going to wait here

for them to come back for the car.

Why don’t you just call me

when you’re done with your emergency, okay?

I will. I’m sorry, okay?
