"Right now
terrorists are plotting to assassinate a presidential candidate.
My wife and daughter are in danger
and people that I work with may be involved in both.
I'm Federal Agent Jack Bauer.
And this is the longest day of my life.
The following takes place between 1:00 p.m. And 2:00 p. M
on the day of the California Presidential Primary.
You okay? Yeah.
Are you all right?
Who's in this chopper? Just Jack and his family.
The prisoners are in another transport.
Are you hurt?
No. My stomach's been bothering me for a couple of hours.
Sweetheart, did something happen there?
No. It's probably just from all the stress, honey.
They called ahead.
There's an ambulance to take you both
to a clinic where a doctor will examine you.
Can't we stay with you? No, I've got to stay here at CTU.
Jack.
Alberta, this is my wife, Teri, and my daughter, Kim.
Hi. Thanks, Nina.
The ambulance will take them to the clinic.
Good.
You'll go with Agent Scott. He'll take care of anything you need.
- Jack, what's going to happen with you? - It's all right. They'll just debrief me.
Hey, come here.
Call them in, give them an ETA. Give us five minutes.
Don't worry, okay? I'll call you as soon as I can.
We'll be doing more than debriefing you, Jack.
I have to place you under house arrest.
You'll be held here and questioned until we hand you over to the FBI.
Nina.
I want you to watch over Teri and Kim. Make sure they're okay.
Greers got me doing mop-up on the operation.
Get Tony to do it. Just get over to the clinic.
- I have to get Greers approval. - Nina, please.
Contact District. Tell them we have him in custody.
All right, I'll take care of it.
Could you ask them for some water?
Right away, sir.
Alberta.
Tony's finishing the procedures and the mop-up.
I've been here since before midnight. I'd like an hour off, go home, clean up.
Denied.
Come on, Alberta, please?
I've been through hell today.
One thing I have a great eye for is B.S.
If you want an hour off, tell me where you're going.
Jack asked me to look after Teri and Kim.
They're feeling a little isolated since he can't be there.
There's an irony for you.
You looking after Jack's wife.
Make sure Tony's got everything he needs before you leave.
Elizabeth, have we heard from Christopher yet?
Yes, but he only had early projections
and those were from New York and Massachusetts.
Get with me when he has the numbers from the other states.
I want to know if the incident at the breakfast is hurting us.
Of course.
This is not what I asked for.
What's on your mind, Sherry?
You've got to go out there today with your best face on.
There can be no talk about Keith
and no talk about Ferragamo. Ferragamo's death was an accident.
I'm not going to talk about Ferragamo.
I'm dropping it.
Really?
I'm being blackmailed.
By who?
By some of the people that have been financing my campaign.
What do they want?
They're determined to see me in the White House
and if I don't do what they want
they say they can build a first-degree murder case against Keith.
- For Lyle Gibson? - No.
For Dr. Ferragamo.
No.
Keith was nowhere near Ferragamo's office today.
According to Carl, who's been doing all their dirty work
someone planted evidence
that could implicate Keith in Ferragamo's murder.
No, David.
This is what happens when you cover things up.
Don't preach to me, David, okay?
What are we going to do?
I don't know yet.
- Does Keith know anything? - No.
And he's not going to.
You must be Teri. I'm Dr. Kent.
We're going to be taking very good care of you today.
- This is your daughter, Kim? - Hi.
We were alerted to your abdominal pain. I'd like to get an ultrasound.
It's actually not as painful as it was before.
That's good.
But we want to make sure we know what it is.
Is there any other discomfort? Anything you want to tell us before we examine you?
No.
Mom?
Mrs. Bauer?
I was raped.
I see.
Okay.
Then we're going to need to draw blood and do some tests
and I would like to recommend you to one of our psychiatrists.
That's not necessary.
Mrs. Bauer, you can do what you want
but under the circumstances
it's important for you to take a few minutes and speak to someone.
I'd like to keep this confidential.
The records are private. Only the doctors involved have access.
I mean, from my husband.
All right, if that's what you want to do.
A nurse will be in shortly.
We should spend some time
with Senators Blalock and Gleeson pretty soon.
I don't feel comfortable aligning myself with those guys.
You're going to need their states.
Just being seen with them will go a long way.
Okay.
Was there something else you wanted to discuss?
I'm worried this Ferragamo thing is not going to go away.
Let me handle the Ferragamo situation, Mike.
You just make sure the rest of the day gets back on track.
Did I hear you say something about Dr. Ferragamo?
There was a fire in his office. I'll get on this.
Thanks, Mike. Dad, what are you"..."
Keith, I'm sorry.
Dr. Ferragamo died.
When?
About an hour ago.
We just found out.
Wait, I don't get it. What kind of fire?
We're still waiting to hear the details.
What's going on?
Are you saying that my psychiatrist
Dr. Ferragamo, was involved in this?
That he told Maureen Kingsley something I said to him during a session?
Is that how this whole story about Lyle Gibson started?
Seems that way.
But he died in a fire an hour ago?
It was an accident.
No, I don't believe this.
Keith, look"..."
- We have to let it go right now. - Let it go?
No, you mean cover it up.
There's nothing to cover up.
Sure there is.
Somebody didn't want him to talk about this because it'll hurt your campaign.
What do you want me to do?
Go to the police.
- I can't. - I don't get it, Dad.
What were you saying before about trusting the system?
I do trust the system.
When my hind parts are on the line. But when it comes to your campaign...
My campaigrs been on the line ever since you lied to me about Lyle Gibson.
I don't understand.
You've been on me all night to keep quiet about Gibson's death.
This isn't about Lyle Gibson anymore, is it?
I might have been involved in Gibson's death
but somebody murdered Dr. Ferragamo and they have to pay.
Keith"..."
He meant something to me.
That's right.
I was in real pain
and Dr. Ferragamo was the only one there for me.
So we're not going to pretend "like this thing never happened", "okay?"
Keith... You don't know how I was.
I wouldn't have made it without him.
Just give me a little time.
Let me get to the bottom of what happened.
If there was foul play
I promise you, we'll come forward.
- Why can't we come forward now? - Because we can't.
Son.
I love you.
You have to know
l'm doing what's best for you.
You have to know it.
Afternoon, Tony.
Mr. Chappelle.
Looks like they're bringing in the big guns.
What do you think they're going to do to Jack?
Not going to name a street after him.
- He's in Holding 2. - All right, thank you.
Come on.
- Hey, Jack. - Ryan, it's good to see you.
I've got five priority cases on my desk this morning.
- Your name's on all of them. - I can imagine that.
- Look, I just want to say... - Hang on.
You were saying?
At approximately 12:15
I got a phone call from Agent Nina Myers
telling me to assemble the team at CTU"..."
District Manager Walsh"..."
Where's Teri Bauer?
I don't know.
Who are you with?
FBI.
And you?
CTU.
Waiting for the rest of my debrief team.
We're going to interrogate some of the prisoners they're bringing to the clinic.
Okay, thanks.
I'm with CTU. Where's Teri Bauer?
She was moved to Room 7. Thank you.
Teri?
There you are. Nina.
I didn't know you were going to be here.
Yeah.
Hi, Kim.
We didn't officially meet. I'm Nina Myers. I work with your dad.
Hi.
I'm so glad the two of you are okay.
I'm here until you're done. If you "need anything", "I'll be in the waiting room."
Nina?
What's happening with Jack?
He's being questioned.
Is he in trouble? That depends.
He broke a few laws last night but he was doing it to save you
so I think they'll understand.
If he doesn't piss them off first.
My thoughts exactly.
Excuse me. I'll be back.
I guess you know Jack just about as well as I do.
I'm sending someone to your house to pick up some clean clothes.
What's going to happen when we get released?
Why can't we just go home?
Until we know what happened, we want to take precautions to keep you safe.
When do we get to see my dad?
I don't know.
A lot of things have to happen first.
Some people are going to want to talk to you.
Division, Secret Service, us.
Because you see, this wasn't a simple crime.
"This was a terrorist conspiracy", and you were in the middle of it.
But that's over now.
Nina, wait.
Yeah?
I don't know all the details, but I understand
you're a big part of the reason why we're still alive.
So thank you.
Sure.
I'll be out here.
Close this area down. There's so much going on all the time.
We have radiology. The pharmacy is on the other end.
Hold on. Yes? Nina Myers, CTU.
Is that man FBI?
Hold on. Yeah, he's with me.
- He was in 3 earlier. - I'd like to speak with him.
Sure. But he wasrt in 3. We just got here.
Stu?
- Who else is here from the Bureau? - Just the two of us.
- Are you sure? - Of course, I'm sure.
And the reason I didn't call CTU immediately for backup"..."
Frankly, I was worried things could get out of control.
My family was still in the compound...
But you did eventually call.
Yes. The second Teri and Kim were with me, I called Alberta Green.
You did what any loving father would do.
Unfortunately, as you know
our procedures don't allow for any deviation from protocol.
I can't reinstate you, Jack.
Ryan, have you heard a single thing that I've said?
Do you understand what's happening? Senator Palmer is still in danger.
Now that my family is safe, I can help you.
As of right now, your case will be put in the hands of the Justice Department.
Justice Department?
For God's sakes, yes, under the circumstances
I had to break the rules of procedure with CTU to protect my family!
But I never deviated from my assignment
to protect Senator Palmer, and you know that!
I know that and that's what might keep you from going to prison.
But that's not my call.
You don't have time for this, Ryan.
I have come in contact with suspects still at large
and I guarantee you they have a contingency plan.
I am a resource. I can identify them.
You want to put me in jail? You do that later.
But you let me help Senator Palmer get through the rest of this day.
- I'll ask Alberta if she wants your help. - She's been here for four hours, Ryan!
- Chappelle. - "Can Myers talk to Bauer?"
- Yeah. - "I'll patch you through."
It's fine.
Okay, we're through here.
It's Nina.
- Keep him company. - Yes, sir.
Hey, it's Jack.
"How's it going over there?"
They're handing me over to the Justice Department.
Didn't you explain to them why you did it?
Yes, of course I did.
I think Alberta Green is trying to make a career move.
How's Teri and Kim?
They seem okay, considering what they've been through.
How much longer will they stay at the clinic?
A couple of hours, then they'll be transferred for questioning.
Nina, I can't thank you enough for being there.
"Really", "I appreciate it."
- Nina? - Yeah, I'm here.
"What's wrong?"
When Walsh told you that someone inside the agency was working against Palmer
did you think that it was more than one person?
He didn't say, but I've been thinking about this, too.
Someone had to recruit Jamey.
You're going to have to work under the assumption that
someone else is on the inside. Maybe not CTU.
The District, Division, maybe Secret Service. Why? What are you thinking?
I just want to make sure that Teri and Kim are safe here.
- What do you mean? At the clinic? - Yeah.
Why wouldn't they be? I don't know.
I'm just exhausted and probably getting paranoid.
What's going on there? Nothing. Don't worry.
I'll make sure that they are safe here.
Okay, thanks.
- Can I talk to them? - They're being examined right now.
Okay, get back to me as soon as they can talk, please.
"Yeah." Okay, thank you.
Any more information on the backup plan to assassinate Palmer?
The information that came in half an hour ago
matched what we got from Divisiors database.
Things are falling into place. Give me the headlines.
Three shooters, possibly hired to kill Palmer
in case the breakfast attempt failed.
Jovan Myovic entered the country two days ago.
Mishko Suba, also from the Balkans, came in three days ago through Florida.
And the other one?
No names yet.
Keep looking.
If he's connected with the others, we need to know where he is and what he's doing.
Let's leave it right there.
Get the equipment in the shed. I'll be in to brief you on our exit strategy.
Let's move it out!
Mr. Drazen, it's Kevin. "Yes."
We just got to the transfer point.
What about Gaines? "He's dead."
I see.
Listen, Mr. Drazen
when Gaines hired me for this
I told him there were a couple of defects in his plan
that could be exploited. Not to say "I told you so"
but I'm not surprised that any of this happened the way it did.
Is there a point to any of this? Yes.
Yes. I can fix it for you.
Interesting. And how can you do that?
I've done this before.
I know people.
When I was working for the DEA in Florida
I was able to get to a witness that no one else could find.
12 hours later, he was dead.
Problem solved, if you get what I'm saying.
I appreciate the offer, Kevin, but as you Americans so often say
Plan B is already in effect.
What does that mean?
Hello? Drazen?
Get away from me.
Is there anything left in the truck?
Go to hell.
I need copies of this report as soon as you can get them.
Yes, sir.
Are we saying Senator Palmer should stay in for the duration?
No. He's got to get out of California now.
The backup shooters are in LA and they're going to come after him.
All right, leave that with me.
Let me look it over one more time before I do anything.
Tony?
Yeah?
Are you satisfied with your position here?
Sure.
Because I always had the impression you had too much talent
to be a number three at CTU.
What do you want me to do, Alberta?
That's what I like about you, Tony, you get right to the point.
Before Chappelle makes his final evaluation
"of Jack", "he's going to want to talk to you."
Why me?
Because you called in the lockdown.
And, let's face it
Nina is hardly impartial when it comes to Jack, and Chappelle knows that.
And you want me to tell him what?
The truth.
That even though Jack's family was in danger, he could have dealt with it
without compromising the integrity of CTU.
If Jack had confided in you from the beginning
you never would have had to call George Mason to lock things down.
Am I right?
Jack?
Alberta.
Chappelle asked me to debrief you personally.
Fine.
I have to tell you, Jack, this is your turf.
I feel uncomfortable debriefing you.
That's quite all right.
It's pointless for me to ask you questions.
Why don't you just tell me what you think I need to know?
Save us some time.
I went through the timeline events with Chappelle.
You need the threads and IDs
to proceed tactically over the next few hours.
Do you mind?
No, but before we get started, I need something.
What's that?
I want to be able to phone my family.
They don't know what's going on with me. I want to ease their minds.
Sorry, Jack, I can't do that.
Why don't we dispense with the,
"Are you all right, Jack? I feel uncomfortable" crap?
Okay, you want to talk straight? Fine. Don't handle me.
Tell me what you know.
First thing you need to do is get a hold of Langley.
Have them open up their Balkan terrorist database.
Why the Balkans?
The people buying the Palmer hit
were being financed by a man named Ted Cofell.
He was an investment banker with family connections in Europe.
Was?
He died three hours ago.
Keep talking.
The money that we traced
came back to Ted Cofell Industries which is based out here in LA.
CTU. Almeida. Tony, I have a problem.
20 minutes ago a man identified himself to me as FBI
but I know he's lying.
How do you know?
Because I met the only FBI agents assigned here.
They knew nothing about him.
Maybe the right hand's not talking to the left?
No, I don't think it's that.
Can you send someone over? I need to pull prints off a phone.
- Sure. Anything else? - No, that's it. Just hurry.
All right. You got it.
And the Senator wanted to get your approval on these.
What are they?
Photographs for the "Time" magazine piece.
Right, I wanted to see those.
Nice.
Mom? Hey.
Use that one.
Okay. Thanks.
So, what's going on?
I talked to Dad.
- And? - And I'm a little confused.
He's been trying to convince me
that it's best to air this thing about Nicole's rape
and the death of Lyle Gibson.
Don't worry about that now. No, that's just it, we do have to.
I know about Dr. Ferragamo.
I know the fire was no accident. We got to do something.
- Keith, look... - Dad wants to keep it quiet"..."
- Don't get yourself worked up. - I am worked up.
Hey.
Covering up an accident is one thing
but we're talking about murder.
- I'm going to the police. - You will not.
- I'm sorry. I've made up my mind. - You will listen to me, Keith!
It is not your decision to make.
Can't believe you're saying this.
Because you don't know what it takes to raise a family and to keep it safe.
- What does this have to do with safe? - Everything.
Nothing is simple in life.
Sometimes you just have to make a decision.
That is what we did, and you will respect that. Do you understand?
I understand"..."
Have Patty pack up your things. We have to leave the state today.
Why?
They've done a threat assessment. They claim it's too dangerous to stay here.
- Where are we going? - Nellis Air Force Base, in Nevada.
- Have you discussed this with Mike? - Of course.
He believes this isn't a call they would make unless the threat was imminent.
I thought you said that the man from the breakfast, Jack
Bauer, was already in custody.
He is, but he may not be working alone.
There are others
that are after me.
So, let's go.
Let's get our things together. Let's go. Now.
Come on, Keith.
You didn't call it in.
As long as my family was in danger, I didn't want to call CTU.
- Yeah? - "Chappelle's ready for you."
All right, thanks.
Hey, Tony.
Sir.
Have a seat.
We have an important decision to make pretty soon about Jack Bauer.
Whether or not to pursue criminal and disciplinary charges.
I understand.
I'm not going to lie to you.
This may boil down to your testimony
as you seem to be the most impartial direct observer of last night's events.
Let me save you some time, Mr. Chappelle.
I'm not the biggest fan of Jack Bauer.
I don't agree with the way he delegates authority
and I don't like the way he runs operations.
But
since midnight last night
you won't get me to disapprove of a single action he's taken.
Fair enough.
You talked to Nicole?
Yeah. They're taking care of her. They're going to meet us at the airport.
Yeah, I'll tell him. Thanks.
That was the Pentagon.
Remember after the incident at the breakfast
you asked me to check out the name Jack Bauer?
Who is he?
He used to be in Special Forces.
Led a six-man team into Kosovo a couple years ago.
That's what it was.
The Drazen mission.
Yeah.
He handpicked his men and trained them.
Only Bauer survived.
He blames me for the loss of his team.
That's what this is about.
Can you get this to Mrs. Palmer?
I didn't have time to pack it before she left.
- Aren't you coming with me? - No. I'm taking a later flight.
I have an aunt in town. I promised my mom I'd visit.
She's in a nursing home.
Sure.
Okay, now we need to get the estimations on that one
and make sure you fax that to the other office.
Hold the elevator, please.
Elizabeth.
I can't stay long.
Then we shouldn't waste any time.
Anything?
Nothing.
That can't be. I'm sure I saw him holding the phone.
- Those prints have been wiped off. - But it doesn't make sense.
Housekeeping didn't come in. No one used the room.
It wasn't housekeeping.
There's not a single print on that phone.
This was done by a professional.
The grade of weapons there would be consistent with that scenario.
Excuse me.
Green. "Alberta", "it's Nina."
I'd like permission to move Teri and Kim to the safe house now.
Are they done there?
Everything but the debrief.
"I can do that myself", once we're over there.
- Fine. Do it. - Thank you.
The ultrasound showed the remnants of a small follicular cyst.
A cyst?
It must have burst. That's what caused the pain.
"The good news is", "it's the most common" type of ovarian cyst and it's benign.
- Why did it burst? - Could have been the assault.
It can also happen when your uterus enlarges. When was your last period?
Last month. It's due sometime this week.
I'd like to do a pregnancy test just to rule it out.
Okay.
Excuse me, Doctor. Teri, we need to go. Get your things.
I'm sorry, we're not finished here yet.
Plans have changed. We must move them.
Is something wrong?
We want to get you and Kim to the safe house now.
Arert we safe here?
Everything is fine. You're just not as contained as we'd like.
Kim! Come on!
Kim, get your things.
- Right now? - Now! Go.
Here's the test I told you about.
- I want you to take it soon. - Thank you for everything.
They're leaving now.
His name was Theodore Cofell. We traced his finance company here to LA
from money that they rerouted from the Balkans.
Senator Palmer.
Can I help you, sir? I'm here to see Jack Bauer.
