24

Previously on 24.

Whatever you've planned next is going to fail,

just like everything else you've tried today.

Almost 40 dead in a train crash.

Many more near the San Gabriel Island nuclear plant.

We managed to stop the other 103 power plants from melting down.

That's what America will remember-- that we stopped you.

No. This country will forever be afraid to let their leaders appear in public.

For all the hatred you have for this country, you don't understand it very well.

Marwan. The police report file has been distributed.

C.T.U. will be alerted that the military pilot and his family are missing.

What do you think we should do?

We have to make sure C.T.U. is too busy to realize its significance.

Jack Bauer is alive and in my custody.

I will return him to you unharmed in exchange for Behrooz Araz.

This is Bill Buchanan from Division. He'll be overseeing the operation.

Let's talk about what happens if we don't agree to the exchange.

We don't get Jack Bauer back, for one thing.

That can't be the deciding factor here.

Most importantly, if we don't go through with this exchange,

we may lose an opportunity to trap Marwan.

Is my mother in the van? She was working with you. Where is she?

I don't know. I don't want to die.

- - Sniper's down! Let's move out!

Why'd you give 'em the kid? He's been double-tagged. We'll be tracking him.

I managed to short-circuit some phone lines in the building that I was being held.

If you can find two service obstructions at the coordinates, we can get to Marwan.

- - We have a location where Marwan was holding Jack.

- Yes. - There's a problem.

Just as I was about to do a preflight check, they grounded the plane.

- Resolve this now. - Did you make your report to the chief mechanical officer?

- I was just about to head over there right now. - Don't let me hold you up.

- - It was just a false alarm.

All right. I'll clear it for takeoff.

The following takes place between 10:00 p.m. and 11:00 p.m.

We placed multiple trackers on Behrooz Araz, but those are no longer transmitting,

which means Marwan's men found and destroyed them.

Are you close to finding Marwan? We may be, sir.

Jack Bauer managed to tag the location where he was being held.

We're preparing to mount a raid on that location as we speak.

I want Marwan found... now.

I've asked Secret Service to secure a landing site,

so I can be on the ground to address the nation before the 11:00 news.

Sir, we believe that you're safer in the air right now.

I have been flying for 20 hours.

The American people need to hear from me now, not tomorrow.

Then may I suggest you do it from Air Force One.

It may not be optimal, but at least you'll get your message across.

I appreciate your concerns,

but I'm going to give my speech when I get to Los Angeles.

Now, inform the press corps,

give them enough time to notify their outlets. Yes, Mr. President.

Just make sure I'm briefed on Bauer's progress before I go on the air.

Of course.

What's Jack's status?

His team just arrived at Marwan's location. They should be in place in a few minutes.

C.T.U. Comm.

This is Bauer. Strike teams are moving into

final position. We're about five minutes out.

How are you on your end? Coordinating backup teams.

We have building plans online.

Chloe? Yeah, it's me. Michelle brought me back in.

Good. Are the satellites in position?

Yes. We've been monitoring the area for the past

five minutes, but there's been no activity.

How's Paul Raines doing? Is he still in surgery?

Uh, no. He just got out.

Chloe, I'm glad to have you back. We're gonna need your help.

Look, is Audrey there? I think so.

- Let me speak to her. - Hold on.

- Hello? - Audrey, I have Jack on the line.

Are you there? Yeah, I'm here.

- Hold for Jack. - Okay.

Audrey? Jack. You okay?

Yeah, I'm fine. How's Paul doing?

They just finished operating, They said he's gonna make it.

- I'm waiting to talk to the doctors. - Good. I'm glad.

Look--

Audrey, I know we have to talk about how I handled everything with Paul.

Yeah, we do. It's just--

It's really hard right now.

Yeah, I-I understand.

Are you still out in the field?

Yeah. We're getting ready to move on Marwan.

Be careful.

Yeah. I'll call you as soon as it's done.

Yeah. Right.

I just got off the phone with D.O.D. They want to know what our status is.

Jack's team has been deployed to Marwan's

location. He should begin the assault any minute.

Did you get a read on how many hostiles are inside?

Based on the infrared scan, we counted eight.

Did we pick up voice transmission that could indicate that one of them is Marwan?

No, but we know he was there 25 minutes ago when Jack left the building.

If the information on that hard drive is discovered by the Americans,

it'll jeopardize the next phase of our plan.

- Well, it's not here. - No, you haven't looked hard enough.

I've been searching for almost an hour.

Aziz told one of his men he hid a backup copy of those files in his apartment.

Well, why didn't Aziz tell you where he hid it?

Because he was killed before he could tell me.

Look, Anderson shared this apartment with Aziz.

Maybe Anderson knows where the hard drive is.

Keep looking. I'll try to contact him.

Bravo-3-niner in the air, heading 552.

Roger, Bravo-3-niner. You are cleared for 35,000 feet.

Bravo-3-niner, ascending to 35,000 feet.

Copy that, niner.

- -

I'm in the air. I should reach the target in 45 minutes.

We have a problem. What kind of problem?

Aziz. He hid a backup copy of his files in your apartment on hard drive.

We haven't been able to find it. Ask Aziz.

Aziz is dead.

I don't know about a hard drive.

You have no idea where he might have kept it?

If I knew where it was, I'd tell you.

I'm not trying to get myself killed. I'll get back to you.

Okay. In order to flush Marwan out,

I want you to lead your men down the main corridor.

He'll try and escape through the left flank. That's where I'll find him.

Tac team is ready to go in on your word. They set charges on the door?

Yes. Gentlemen, we are a go.

We've got a green light. Teams "A" and "B," move into position.

All teams move in on target.

All teams, all teams.

Prepare to ignite charges on my mark.

Three, two, one.

Blow the door.

Go, go! Move, move, move!

Delete the files. Delete everything.

They're down! They're down!

All right! Now! Let's go!

Stay right there!

[ Man Shouting ] Take 'em out!

- Hold your fire! - Clear!

We're done!

Marwan's not here. Notify the perimeter.

Team 1 and Team 2, come in. Marwan is not in the building.

Maintain your perimeter. Come on!

I can't stop this thing from deleting.

This doesn't make sense.

This room's hot. Get your men out of here.

Get your men out of here!

Jack, what's happening? What's going on over there?

You okay? Yeah, I think so.

- Check your men! - Jack, if you can hear me, respond.

Michelle, Marwan's escaped! He just blew up the hard drives to all his computers!

He's trying to cover his tracks. I'm going off comm.

If you want me, I'm gonna be on my cell.

Chloe, get data forensics in there now...

and start a hard target search for Marwan.

Get me a medic! Medic!

It's too late. You can't stop it.

Stop what?

Within the hour.

What's gonna happen within the hour?

What's gonna happen within the hour?

- Mrs. Raines. - Yes?

Your husband's in Recovery. How is he?

He's stable, but one of the bullets did some damage to his spine.

Right now he's paralyzed from the waist down.

- Is it permanent? - It's too early to tell.

It'll take weeks, maybe months before we fully

understand the extent of damage to his spine.

So it's possible he could regain the use of his legs.

It's possible, yes.

But not likely. Again, it's too early to tell.

We could go over the details later,

but I'd be lying to you if I told you I was optimistic.

A lot depends on his attitude, his support system--

emotional as well as medical.

- Does he know? - Yes. I just told him.

I'm sure he'd like to see you. Thank you.

Excuse me. Can you give us a minute, please? Mm-hmm.

Thank you.

Oh, no. Don't you even think of feeling sorry for me.

Whatever they say, I'm gonna walk again.

I know you will.

So, where's Jack?

He's still out in the field.

He called a little while ago, wanted to know how you were doing.

He knows that bullet was meant for him.

I was just trying to push him out of the way. Didn't expect to get shot myself.

What you did was very... very brave, Paul.

L.A.P.D.'s widening their search parameter,

but so far they're coming up empty.

Jack said something might happen within the hour. If we don't find Marwan--

We're gonna find him. Did you secure Marwan yet?

No. He must have slipped through the perimeter.

How the hell could you let that happen? Doesn't matter how it happened.

What matters is that he's gone, and we're doing everything we can to find him.

What exactly are you doing?

We've widened the perimeter, set up a search grid.

State police and L.A.P.D. are conducting a sweep.

Jack's on line two. He says he's got something. Put him on speaker.

Jack, it's Michelle. You're also on with Tony and Bill Buchanan from Division.

Marwan had an area set up for forging documents.

Some made it through the explosion.

We managed to secure a number of names and faces.
