24

Previously on 24.

Mr. President, the soldiers that attacked us at the crash site--

they were Americans.

Their commander is a colonel Samuels.

Whoever attacked us had access to our flight plan.

The only way they could have gotten that information was from the inside.

Roger, tell me everything you know...

About colonel Ron Samuels from fort benning.

I don't know anything about colonel Samuels.

I just spoke to Roger Stanton. I think he's hiding something from me.

- I'm going to arrest him. - I wanted to warn you.

They know about opcom. How?

I told them. This way, I get him trusting me again.

If she would've known anything, she would have told us. Kill her.

You don't have to kill me.

Can you identify any words that they said? Anything at all?

Uh, "salat." It means prayer.

I want a list of every mosque in a 15-mile radius.

I don't know what syed Ali looks like.

I need you to identify him for me.

- Start a fire. - What? You're crazy.

Crazier than going to Los Angeles when a nuclear bomb might go off any minute?

There's been an accident. We need an ambulance right away.

All right. Stay there.

- Somebody hacked in. - Who else had access to it?

- Marie? - I didn't expect you to find anything.

The following takes place between 6:00 P.M. and 7:00 P.M.

[ Helicopter whirring in distance ]

Ow!

- Hello? - Marie, we have a problem.

What is it? Basheer and Marko are dead.

Omar has the Van now. What do you need me to do?

They were supposed to pick up the trigger.

Where is it? At the place where Marko worked.

In his locker. R and j lumber in Burbank.

Is there a combination? No, it requires a key, but...

You must do whatever you can to gain access to this locker...

And bring the trigger to Omar as soon as possible.

You want me to do this?

Marie, our mission depends on you now.

I'm counting on you.

I'll take care of it.

I know you will.

I'll see you there.

Uh, Marie, you should change your appearance. Okay.

Once we get to the mosque, we'll hook up with the tactical team.

All we need you to do is identify syed Ali.

Then I'll transfer you back to c.T.U.

You okay? Yeah.

Look, I know how difficult this must be for you.

Do you? You know,

it would really help me out a lot if you could tell me what's going on.

I'm afraid I'm not at Liberty to tell you any more than I already have.

Your people took the Liberty of arresting my father.

Syed Ali took the Liberty...

Of kidnapping me and-and killing Paul koplin in front of me.

I think I've earned the right to know what's going on.

We believe that syed Ali is at the center of a terrorist attack...

That's going to take place in Los Angeles today.

What kind of terrorist attack?

A nuclear bomb.

You're the only person we know that's ever seen him.

We need you to identify him for us.

The reason why I'm taking you with me now...

Is because we're running out of time.

- This is Jack Bauer. - Hey, it's George.

Baker should be on-site any minute...

And, uh, I got a hard perimeter set up around the mosque.

Okay, I'll get back to you as soon as we get there, George.

Uh, Jack there's something I've got to talk to you about. Um...

I just got off the line with the sheriff's department in newhall.

They were transporting Kim, and they got into some kind of an accident.

What are you talking about? What kind of accident?

Well, don't worry. She's all right. She didn't get hurt or anything.

What the hell was she doing with local authorities, George?

Your people were supposed to pick her up.

Well, by the time our guys got to the station, they'd already moved her.

I don't know. I guess some local deputy was trying to be a big shot and...

Claiming jurisdiction for a murder charge.

Where is she now?

Well, she ran off after the accident.

I don't know if she was trying to avoid the local police...

Or whether she was just trying not to get brought back to L.A.

Damn it, George. You told me you would take care of this.

You gave me your word.

Please... please find my daughter.

Hey, Jack, if it's any consolation,

she is outside the projected blast radius.

Just find her, George.

What was that about?

My daughter.

Is she involved in this somehow?

No.

She's in some kind of trouble though.

I don't know yet.

I hope not.

Yes, I'll tell him.

The consensus at justice is that the evidence against Stanton isn't actionable.

How much more do they need?

We've established a direct link...

Between Stanton and the rogue mercenaries that shot down Bauer's plane.

That connection is still circumstantial.

He's been sabotaging our efforts to find the bomb all day.

I cannot and I will not allow him to continue heading up n.S.A.

I'm only saying, it's going take time...

To get a judge to issue a warrant.

We don't have time, Mike. Then don't worry about a pretext.

Take him out of play now and we'll deal with the legal ramifications tomorrow.

Sherry was right.

My own people working against me.

Stanton won't be easy to break.

Not in the time we have.

You may need to expand the limits...

Of how far you've been willing to go in the past.

What are you saying, Mike?

That you do whatever it takes to find out what Stanton knows...

About this bomb.

I'm sorry, Mrs. Palmer. I can't disturb them right now.

You know, David only found out about Stanton because of me,

and it makes no sense that he's keeping me out of the loop.

Well, I'm not sure what you think I can do about that.

Well, why don't you just tell me what he's doing about Stanton?

He hasn't let me in on it yet,

so I don't know what's been decided.

Well, can't you find out?

Mrs. Palmer, if the president wanted input from either of us,

I'm sure that he would let us know.

Look, lynne,

you took credit for my work on David's speech...

And that was okay-- I was fine with that.

But right now my only interest...

Is to help David get through this day.

Now, I assume that's your priority as well? I'll see what I can do.

Ms. Warner? She stays with me.

We're good to go. I've got 30 men deployed, ready to move on your order.

How many people in the mosque? Between 100 and 125.

We're dividing them into target groups of ten each.

We're not going in, not yet. Sir?

We go in hot, we're going to have a crowd control situation.

It'll give syed Ali enough time to take his own life before Kate can identify him.

What's the alternative?

We wait for the prayer service to end.

He comes out with everybody else. Kate identifies him.

Then we'll take him out surgically.

Fast and alive. He's no good to us dead.

What if someone out here spots us first?

They phone Ali-- we lose our surprise.

That's assuming he's even inside.

We're working on a weak hunch here, Jack. He might be at some other mosque.

We're gonna have to take that chance. We're waiting this out.

I could go in.

See if he's inside.

I'll wear a hijab. It'll hide my face.

He wouldn't see me.

I'm sorry. I don't feel comfortable putting you in that kind of a position.

From what you've told me, we're all in a pretty bad position.

If I could help,

I'd really like the chance.

You really think you can do this?

Yeah.

Get me the schematics of the mosque.

I'll look at the floor plan.

Everything's in place, Mr. President.

Do it. Yes, sir.

Let's move.

- What's going on, Mike? - Mr. Stanton, by order of the president,

I'm placing you under arrest for conspiracy to commit treason...

Against the United States of America.

What the hell are you talking about?

Hands off!

I demand to speak to the president.

I'm sure you'll get your chance, sir. Let's go.

Come in.

Sir,

Mrs. Palmer has been trying to reach you for the last hour.

Yes, I know.

And she's on line seven, waiting right now.

I can put her off if you like. No, I'll take it.

Thank you. Yes, sir.

Yes, Sherry, what is it? Oh, David, thank god.

I was just wondering what you decided to do about Roger.

I'm having him questioned.

Well, has he admitted to ordering Jack Bauer's plane shot down?

Not yet. Then we don't know any more than we did an hour ago.

What is your point, Sherry? My point is, I-I think you should have waited...

For something more concrete.

I don't run my decisions past you, Sherry. Not anymore.

A large part of the intelligence...

You're basing your decisions on, David, came from me.

I think I've earned a seat at the table here.

You're not a member of my staff.

You're not a government employee, and you're not my wife.

That was your decision, not mine.

Sherry, listen to me. Whatever role you're playing here today...

Is on my terms, my timetable.

Continue doing what you're doing.

I'll speak to you soon. But--

Outlook, we need one person from the bureau...

That we can coordinate with, not three.

We got that sorted out. Okay.
