24

Have you made the preparations?

Are you sure you want to leave now, Colonel?

Can't imagine General Juma will be pleased...

to learn that you're abandoning your mission.

The mission is over.

Do you think I'm a fool, Mr. Burnett?

If anything should happen to me on my way out of the country,

a data file with all the names and bank transactions of all those involved...

will be sent to the Justice Department.

When the car arrives, we would like you to go with the driver...

so that we could follow you back to Dubaku.

You want her to go to him and face him?

It's the only chance we have of finding him before he disappears forever.

- I'll do it. - You keep her safe, you hear me?

We will.

- Colonel! F.B.I. - Go! Go!

I want the names of everyone in the United

States government that you've been working with.

I have a list.

I found some kind of digital storage device...

- implanted under Dubaku's skin. - Can you upload the files to F.B.I.?

Marika didn't make it.

- You killed my sister! - I'm so sorry.

What do you want from me?

I just want to know that you feel something!

I want to know that you feel the same kind of pain that I do!

Do you feel that?

I'm working with F.B.I. to coordinate an interagency sweep.

We should start making arrests within the hour.

What you have done here today puts all of us in your debt.

There are a lot of people to thank, including Jack Bauer.

What are you asking me to do, Bill?

I'm asking you to speak to Senator Mayer.

Jack Bauer helped save this country.

He doesn't deserve to spend the rest of his life in prison.

I'm going to the White House. Sir?

President Taylor wants to speak to me regarding Jack Bauer.

Grab your laptop, Ryan. I want you there with me.

There's gonna be another attack, here in D.C.

My source tells me that the window opens at 1900 hours.

- What's the target? - He doesn't know the exact target.

But it's definitely gonna be of high value and high impact.

He gave me the name of somebody who's been involved in the planning.

Who? Ryan Burnett.

Senator Mayer's chief of staff?

That's right. [ Cell Phone Rings]

Hold on a second.

Go ahead.

I.C.U. One moment, please.

Karina, you got a call on three. Who is it?

Dr. May. He's got a question.

Doctors are so helpless. Dr. May.

Hello?

[Handset Settles In Cradle ] There was no one there.

If he calls back, tell him I'll call him back in a minute.

Code blue! Code blue! We have a code blue in the I.C.U.!

Get Agent Walker down to I.C.U., now!

Swift and decisive is how the Pentagon describes...

the U.S. invasion now underway in Sangala...

Sporadic resistance, minimal casualties.

This in direct contrast to assertions...

made by Sangalese leader Benjamin Juma on state-supported television.

Our brave soldiers are beating back the enemy...

all across Sangala City.

History is on our side, my friends.

We survived their slave ships,

and we will survive their warships too.

Declaring victory while his own troops...

are fleeing the capital and his palace lies in ruins.

When do we think this was made?

My guess is these recordings were made sometime before the invasion, ma'am.

Which begs the question, John, where is he, and why haven't we found him yet?

Special Forces teams all over Sangala City are searching for him.

There's some intelligence to suggest he may have fled the country.

Admiral Smith, you and I both know Juma must be captured.

He must be tried and convicted of his crimes against humanity.

Otherwise, we've as good as failed.

He can't go far, ma'am. No country on earth will grant him asylum.

Then find him, Admiral Smith, wherever he is.

General Juma.

Beautiful, isn't it?

Sir? It's not a trick question, Laurent.

It is beautiful. And why not?

It is almost time. The men... Are they ready?

Yes, sir. Are they afraid?

I don't know, sir. But some of them are praying.

It's good if they are afraid. It means they will fight bravely.

Have you heard from my father yet, sir?

I thought he was supposed to be meeting us here.

Don't worry, Laurent. He'll be here.

Yes, sir.

Yes?

Colonel Dubaku is dead. Are you certain?

The dose I administered was catastrophic.

His son just asked me about him.

He must never know about this or about his father's cowardice.

- He won't. - Then nothing will stand in our way, Udo.

But hurry. The attack window is narrowing. Our timing must be precise.

Clear. Yes, sir.

[ Defibrillator Charging]

Clear.

- One more time at 360. - 360. You're charged.

Clear.

Nothing. Are you goin' again, Doctor?

No. That's it, everybody. I'm calling it.

Time of death: 6:06 p.m.

Dr. Scott, what's going on? A massive heart attack.

You said that he was stable, that he was gonna be okay. So what happened?

I'm not sure. Maybe a preexisting condition.

The autopsy will tell us. Excuse me.

Dr. Scheinert, O.R. 3. Dr. Scheinert, O.R. 3.

The wide extent of the corruption requires a coordinated approach.

We know the government's been compromised. We just don't know at what level.

Presently, Chloe O'Brian is vetting the names, department by department.

I'm prioritizing Secret Service so the president is secured as soon as possible.

Team leaders will then receive their assignments...

Defense, Treasury, State, et cetera...

And make their arrests contemporaneously across the District.

Are there any questions?

All right, everyone has their assignments. Let's get goin'.

O'Brian. Chloe, it's Jack.

Have the names from Dubaku's database...

been handed over to the arrest teams yet? Not yet.

Okay, listen to me. I've just learned that

Juma's operatives are planning another attack.

Jack, they're telling us here it's over.

That's wrong. Tony's my source on the intel. Do you know what the target is?

Only that it's high value, high casualty, and that it's happening now,

which is why I need your help.

There's a name on the list... a Ryan Burnett.

He's Senator Mayer's chief of staff.

Mayer? Isn't he the guy who grilled you this

morning at the Senate subcommittee hearing?

Yeah. But the senator's not implicated in the conspiracy.

But Burnett has been providing support for Juma and Dubaku all along.

Chloe, I need you to delete his name from the list.

- What? Why? - If the F.B.I. start to move in on him,

he'll lawyer up, and no one will get the information on time.

Where is he now? He's at the White House with the senator.

They've got a meeting with the president.

I'm on my way there now to be debriefed by Bill. I'll take care of him then.

Jack, you don't expect to interrogate a suspect in the White House?

Let me handle that, Chloe. Just get his name

deleted from the list. I'll get back to you.

She's in.

Hi.

How close are we? Close.

Is there anything I can do to help?

I'm just cycling through the last layer of data now.

You know, it might be quicker if you send the subsets to my station, one by one.

Good idea. And then that way, I can get to work on distributing them.

Okay, then. Thank you.

Listen, Jack, maybe you should reconsider. Reconsider what?

Taking Bill into your confidence.

Look, I mean, he's been a part of this operation since the get-go.

I don't know what it's gonna take to get Burnett to talk.

If I have to use extreme measures...

I don't get it. What, you don't think he'll go there?

I'm driving off a cliff here, Tony. I don't need to put Bill in the passenger seat.

All right, then. Fine. I'll go with you.

You're a wanted felon. You wouldn't get past the first checkpoint.

Besides, with all of the government agencies still compromised,

it might be up to you to stop the attack.

See you on the other side.

[Cell Phone Beeping, Line Ringing]

Yes? Can you extend the attack window?

Not without risking the entire operation.

Why? There's been a complication.

I may be stuck here longer than I anticipated.

I'll call you back. Mr. Kanin.

Ryan Burnett, Senator Mayer's chief of staff. We've spoken on the phone.

Many times. Good to finally meet you. Likewise.

The senator's inside. Right this way.

Senator?

Well, Senator. I see you found the bar.

Mind if I join you?

Something I never knew.

If it ain't from Kentucky, you can't call it bourbon.

Spare me the Southern gentleman routine, Ethan.

The president didn't call me up at the ass end of the day to drink her booze...

and flip through a briefing book.

I thought it might be helpful before your meeting...

to bring you up to speed on the events of the last 10 hours.

Okay. I'm up to speed.

Senator, surely you have some reaction to what you just read.

Damn right I have a reaction.

I want to know what all this has to do with Jack Bauer.

I mean, that's the reason I'm here, right?

Without Mr. Bauer, we would never have uncovered...

the conspiracy in the first place, nor the people behind it.

His efforts, in conjunction with those of the F.B.I.,

are largely responsible for the arrests being made right now across the District.

You're not saying that he's acting in an official capacity?

I don't have to tell you how this looks, Ethan.

Colluding with a rogue operative from a disbanded agency?

I'm sorry you see it that way.

How else am I supposed to see it? The way the president does.

That Jack Bauer saved lives today, plain and simple,

including her husband's.

Look, Senator, I know this isn't easy for you.
