...And Then She Was Gone (1991) - full transcript

No, no sweetie, the elevator's broken,

we have to take the stairs.

Come on, let's go.

I have to work late

again today, okay honey?

Okay.

Ah, now you know what to

do, you just stay at school,

don't go home with anybody

else, just wait for me.

Hurry.

Yes.

Ah, your lunch, I left it upstairs.

God, I can't be late for work again.

Okay, I'm gonna run upstairs

by myself, you just wait here.

Don't go outside, don't talk

to anybody, I'll be right back.

I'm running late but I'll

be there as soon as I can.

Yeah fine, bye, thanks.

Okay Carla, we're outta here.

Sweetie.

Carla?

Carla?

Carla?

Carla.

Carla!

Yeah, it's Jack.

Jack, it's Paula, SST called.

I knew it, that's a

good sign, don't you think?

I think you

should worry about it

after you get back from vacation.

This is not the

time to disappear for a week,

I really wanna close these guys.

What about Kate, don't

you dare even think

about canceling with her again.

She's totally organized this trip.

You have done nothing.

Paula, when have I had

a chance to plan a vacation?

I'll see you in a few minutes.

You're coming

back to the office?

Oh hi John, look, I'm

going on vacation for a week,

will you garage it for me?

You got 'em champ, you got 'em!

What did I tell you, did we do it?

Close, we got one small hurdle, Saros,

the CEO, he wants to meet us.

I think it's a formality, but

we gotta go through with it.

If you make this sale, this is gonna be

the biggest deal we're ever gonna make!

Let me call him now, I can close him.

No, no, no, no, patience.

- I knew I can close him.

Come on!

It's all scheduled, tomorrow night,

we relax, we have drinks,

you give 'em your pitch,

and then we close 'em.

Tomorrow, I uh--

What's wrong?

Well I, I was on my way out.

I'm suppose to be on a plane

tomorrow morning.

- Well you're not still goin'

are you Jack, you gotta be there.

Believe me, I wanna be

there, it's just that,

I made a promise.

To Kate?

Yeah, well--

- Oh Jack, come on,

you know her, she's been

through this before,

she's flexible.

- I know, I know, but--

Well it's your call

but, we got a relationship

with these guys now.

You want me to call 'em back

and cancel, I can do it.

It's gonna kill me to

do it, but I'll do it.

Jack.

If, if, if it's any

consolation, in three days

Kate's gonna be there, SST won't.

Hi.

Hi.

Five minutes, I'm walking out the door.

I know, I know, is this for me?

Yeah, open

it, it's for the trip.

Aw Kate, you didn't have to do this,

you've already planned the whole trip.

Um, maybe I should open it later.

I can't go on this trip.

You're joking, right?

No, I'm not joking.

Oh my god, I told myself

I wasn't gonna do this--

We'll just postpone it for a few days.

Honey, this is a major, major--

No, no, I don't care.

I took the time off.

I know you, in a few days

it'll be something else,

and then something else after that.

This is the sixth time this has happened.

Oh god, why a, why am I always

the one waiting for you?

I wait for you to call, I

wait for you to come over.

Why does everything revolve

around you and your schedule?

Kate, I'm busy.

I told you when we met,

building a business

from the ground up takes time.

You're selfish.

I am not selfish.

So, how are we tonight?

Scotch and soda.

If it was you, I'd understand.

Oh well, I'm sure you would.

- It's the same battle

all the time, it's always about work.

Jack, it's not about work.

We've known each other for three years,

I still feel like I'm dating you.

If this relationship is

important enough to you,

you either tell them no, or,

or then well, it's over.

- Oh no, no,

don't do that to me, don't put

me in a position of choosing.

Oh, wh-why, because you

don't wanna make a decision?

Kate, you want an answer?

- Oh, so I just win

by default is that it?

- Is that what you want,

an answer?

- Yes, I would love an answer

from you.

- Okay, I'm not going.

I can't go, it's too important.

I need this, they need me,

and that has nothing to do

with how I feel about you, nothing.

Jack, I don't know how

you feel about me, I don't.

I don't understand the problem.

You don't give, that's the problem.

You know, I'm going

on this trip without you,

don't bother coming.

Would you like to see a menu?

Hello!

Hello.

Ah, taxi!

Hey!

Train arriving on track one

for Prospect Square and Evansville.

Excuse me, is that seat taken?

Yes, it is.

Uh miss, uh, you dropped your doll.

Hey, uh.

Uh, stop the train.

Stop the train!

Somebody wanna tell

somebody to stop the train!

You have to stop the train, hey, hey!

Come on man, if you missed your stop--

No, no, I didn't miss my stop.

There was a little girl, she was,

she was just on the train here and,

and she got off, on the

poster here, the same girl.

Now what're you talkin' about?

This girl, right here--

Hey.

- She was on the train,

and she got off the last stop and uh,

she was with a lady,

she dropped this doll.

I, I saw her.

Are you sure?

Did anybody see her?

She was just on the train

here, did anybody see?

I'm sure she, that's the number,

we should call this number, right?

Yeah.

Carla McKillin.

No, McKillin.

Are you sure?

She was with a woman in her 30s.

If she's not in your computer,

how come the posters are still up?

Huh, come on, man you gotta take 'em down.

You're causin' a lot of

unnecessary panic down here.

Yeah.

All right, you too.

Found.

Found?

Are you sure?

Yeah, she's not in the computer,

they said she must've been found.

Said they didn't have time

to take the posters down.

Right, that's great well, that's yours.

No, no, whoa, whoa.

No uh, see this is not my job.

I'm with the transit authority.

What does that mean?

It means, you gotta take

this to the transit system

lost and found, now that's department A,

the Metropolitan Building.

Wait a second, this is

gettin' too complicated.

Just,

I'll tell you what, we'll just uh,

put it right over here, all right?

We'll just leave it right

there on the bench and

I'm sure they'll probably come

after it, don't you think?

Well, whatever you feel

is right, it's entirely up to you, sir.

I'm sure it'll be all right.

I mean if it were an expensive

item, I'd send it in,

but it's just a doll, right?

It's probably gonna get

thrown in the trash, man.

Paula, that doll has been here all day.

I thought you were

gonna take care of this.

I didn't wanna send

it to lost and found,

she might not know to look there.

But there was only one

McKillin in the book,

so I called, she wasn't there,

but I have her address, it's 442 Glasgow.

Well fine, just put it in

a box and mail it to her.

You know what, she lives on your way,

why don't you drop it off?

Drop the doll off, why would I do that?

Just send it to her.

Boy, you sure don't

know how traumatic it is

for a little girl to

lose her doll, do you?

Well I'm sorry, I'm having

a little trouble relating.

Look, the dinner with SST is in two hours,

why make this so complicated?

But you have time.

Just think about what this

little girl has been through.

Paula, I'm not asking

you to dismember it.

Just put it in a damn

box and send it to her.

I can't even believe I'm discussing this,

I think I'm being a pretty nice guy

just to have you send it.

Hi.

You can use it for tonight.

It's great dinner conversation,

gosh, I'm sorry I'm late,

I was just returning this

doll to a poor little child.

And you guys think I'm cynical?

By the way, did Kate call?

No, was she suppose to?

Just see if you can get me on a flight

to Antiqua in the morning, please.

Ohh, if I have time.

Down to $520.

All right!

How's that?

Great, thank you.

Great, okay, let's meet your

new challenger, shall we?

Hi Calvin.

Hi Ann, nice to meet you.

Thanks.

We're glad

to have you on our show.

Now tell us a little bit

about yourself, would you?

Well, I'm single,

I've lived in the Denver, Colorado--

Gail, I think I know this one,

it's the duckbill platypus.

Oh I'm sorry Jerry, the

answer there is beaver.

Oh Christ!

- The answer is beaver.

Ann, your category...

Excuse me.

Thank you.

Oh my god, where is she?

Where'd this come from, who put this here?

There was a guy who was just there.

Oh my god, he has my daughter, help!

Somebody, call the police!

Hurry up, come on, stop him!

There he is.

Hey, hey, hey look, stop, stop!

Get outta the car.

Wow.

Who are you?

Get outta there.

Who are you?

Who are you?

Hey, hey, hey, hey.

- What have you done with her?

What have you done with her?

I don't know what you're talking,

you wanna put the bat down?

Does somebody please

wanna call the police?

Hey, what did he do?

He kidnapped her kid.

I didn't kidnap anybody,

who are you people?

Where's Carla McKillin?

How would I know, I, I don't have her,

she's with her mother.

I'm her mother!

You're not her mother, I'm leaving.

No, no, not til I know.

- Get him over, get him over.

- Please don't let him go,

- Don't touch the tie.

please don't let him go!

- Don't you touch my,

let go of my tie.

- Now get him on the side!

Keep him here,

please don't let him go.

- Don't touch the tie,

let go of my necktie!

- Please keep him here.

- Hey, let go of me!

Keep him here.

Terry, I'm at the police station.

The police station.

Don't ask me to explain

right now, are they there?

Oh that's great.

Oh, well you know something

about the system, don't you?

Excuse me, how long do

you think this will take?

You're not goin' anywhere.

I want you to get off the phone

until we straighten this out, okay?

I, I've gotta go, I, I gotta go.

You're on your own.

Both of you, please.

I'm Detective Hopkins,

this is Alan Dunlap.

Alan's with the Child Recovery Foundation

that you contacted last night.

Hello, we're trying to

unravel what happened.

There's evidently been some kind of

malfunction in the computer.

I don't know how or why, but Carla's file

was not in the computer system last night.

What do you mean it wasn't

in the computer last night?

Somehow her file was deleted.

Whoever took the call probably

didn't find Carla's name

and just assumed that you

were the woman on the train.

Carla was presumed found.

Mr. Bauer was just returning a doll

that he found on the subway.

You mean he called and reported it

and you didn't do anything about it?

Yes, please understand.

She's only been missing two weeks.

Wouldn't somebody remember

if she was found or not?

Unfortunately, we have

hundreds of children

reported missing and found every week.

Names get put in, taken out.

We're gonna have all

the information on Carla

back into the system as

soon as we possibly can.

This um, woman Carla was

with, where'd they get off?

Uh, well, uh 6th Street.

Did you get a description?

She was about 5-10,

had brown hair, thin.

She was wearing a green coat.

Anything else?

Scars, any distinguishing marks?

Matter of fact uh, she

had some scars on her wrist.

You mean tracks, needle tracks?

I'm not sure.

There's a lot of drugs

in that area, you know.

Uh this woman did she look

like a user, prostitute maybe?

I don't know, I, I suppose

she could've been, uh--

Wouldn't you know?

Wouldn't it occur to you that

something might be wrong?

Well I wasn't down there

doing detective work.

My car was garaged, I

happened to be on the subway,

I was just trying to get home!

She's not here.

Does this fit

your description of her?

No, the eyes are too round,

they were more, you know, um--

Oval?

And the chin is too square.

All right, give it another try.

Francis.

What happened?

I don't know, there was

a computer malfunction,

file wasn't there.

Alan.

We're looking into it.

Is that the mother?

Yes.

Mrs. McKillin, I'm Francis Haynes,

a fundraiser for the foundation.

I just wanna assure you

this has never happened

to us before, and it

will never happen again.

And we will do everything we

can to get your daughter back.

All right.

Excuse me.

You must be the man on

the train, my apologies.

Uh, Jack Bauer.

Jack Bauer, you look familiar.

Any relation to Tim Bauer?

He's my father.

Is that right, you're

kidding, I know your father.

You played football at

Dartmouth, quarterback.

Uh, yes.

I'm an alum, Francis Haynes,

child recovery's one of my pet projects.

I thought you looked familiar.

Uh, uh, the, uh, uh, um,

what'd they call you?

The Scrambler, right?

Oh man, so uh, you

never wanted to go pro, huh?

Well yes, I did, my knees didn't.

How's that, better now?

Yeah, it could be.

Okay, that's it, you can go now.

Nice meeting you.

I guess we're done.

Oh Mr. Bauer, stay

out of trouble, champ.

We have one of our volunteers

here'll take you bath back.

Oh, that's okay, I'll take a cab.

No, nonsense, let him drive you back,

and say hi to your dad for me, will you?

I will, thank you.

I'm parked just outside.

Just so happens I normally

work nights at the lab.

They called and said it was slow

and I should take the night off.

Then Alan Dunlap called and

said they needed a driver.

So you work for child

recovery too, Mr. Uh--

Peter Harmon, no, no, no,

I'm a part time volunteer,

try to help out when I can,

do a little bit of everything, you know,

put up posters, man the phones, driver.

So you met Alan Dunlap.

Yeah.

Alan's the head of the

agency, he started it.

Really?

Yeah he, really believes in it.

Complicated man, very intense.

Lost his own daughter five years ago.

What happened?

They never recovered her.

Hi.

Hi, are you Laura?

Yes.

I'm Mary, um, your

neighbor said you lived here

and I live three blocks from you.

I heard what happened last night.

My daughter's missing too.

She disappeared three

weeks ago in Castle Park.

I, I left her for just

seconds and she was gone.

Two months ago, there

was another abduction

near us on Crestline.

A 3-year-old boy, we

both went to the police,

they said it's a coincidence.

That's him.

I don't know how you feel

about these kinds of things but

I went to a psychic last week,

and he saw my little girl.

She was safe, and she was with a woman.

Maybe you could see her and--

I don't think so.

But we could help each other,

we could put their pictures

together on the same flyer

and canvas the streets.

Look, it's hard enough

looking for my own daughter.

I'm a waitress,

I work during the day

and when I'm home I'm out on

the streets looking for her.

Looking for somebody else's child,

I, I, I don't know if I can do that.

How do you know there's any connection?

I don't, but I know

you can't do this alone.

Who's helping you?

No one.

This man who saw Carla,

he knows what this woman

on the train looks like,

maybe he can help us.

He won't.

Do you know him?

He won't.

The whole dinner, you

didn't talk about the system

at all, what did you talk about?

Nothing, it was awful.

Jack, you know computers, I don't.

The good news is they wanna meet again.

Drinks Thursday at 6:00, now is that okay?

Yeah, fine.

You sure?

- It's fine, it's fine.

You're not

gonna pull another Gandhi

on us and decide at the last moment to

do good works in the city, right?

Paula.

Book me on a flight to

Antigua on Friday now.

Messages?

Yeah, right here.

Kate call?

Nope.

Jack.

Here is the itinerary, why

don't you try calling her

instead of asking every

half hour if she called.

Oh, she'll call.

I'll wait.

Antigua Inn.

Kate Lydon, please.

Uh do you

have the room number, sir?

Well I don't know what room she's in.

Just a moment, please.

Thank you.

Yeah.

Hello.

Hello.

I'm sorry, they've connected

me with the wrong room.

I think, who's this?

Uh, this is Andrew, who's this?

Andrew?

Hello, hello.

Kate?

Jack?

You want business or first class?

I'm gonna take off and go home.

Now, are you all right?

You really

oughta take a look at it.

I'll been waiting for your call.

Excuse me.

Hi.

Hi, excuse me.

Uh, hi, child recovery

gave me your phone number

where you work, I hope you don't mind.

This is Mary Conley, she

lives in my neighborhood,

her daughter is missing too.

Hi.

- Hi.

Uh, I wanna ask you a favor.

Would you go with us on the subway

and help us look for the

woman you saw on the train?

Me?

Well uh, what's that gonna do?

You know what this woman looks like,

all we have is a description.

Maybe she lives or works in the area.

But I don't really know the area.

We do, you can come with us.

Well look, if the police

want me to get involved, I--

They're not gonna ask you to do that.

What would they ask you to do that?

I don't know.

Look, I think I did what

I was suppose to do.

I sympathize with

your situation, lady.

- I don't want your sympathy,

I want your help, just

this one time, please.

I think we should split up.

I'll go back towards the subway.

Uh, why don't you take

this side of the street,

I'll take the other, we'll meet up

on the corner of 9th and Main.

What do we do with these?

Give them to people, pass them out.

Hi.

Thank you.

Jerk.

How's your eye?

Eh, it's okay.

Listen, I'm really sorry

about what happened yesterday,

I wanna pay you back for the tie.

The tie?

Your tie that was

ripped, it was my fault,

how much was it?

Oh no, it's all right.

No, really, I wanna pay

you back, how much was it?

It's okay, really.

How much was it, please.

$90.

$90, you paid $90 for a tie?

Yeah.

Who do you work for?

I'm a partner in a

computer software firm.

We develop technical computer software

for businesses, and you?

I'm a waitress.

Really, where?

I don't think you've heard of it.

Are you married?

Um, no, you?

No, no, not even close.

I'm sorry, you caught me on a bad day uh,

I was involved with someone

and it recently just, fell apart.

How recent?

About two hours ago.

I'm selfish, self-centered, uncommitted,

and not capable of planning

events, other than that, uh--

Miss, I'm sorry, the owner doesn't want

flyers up in the window.

Sorry, he wouldn't let me up'em up.

Hm, great, thanks.

I know what they're for.

If it were up to me, I'd let

you put up as many as you want.

That is really ridiculous.

Yeah, well, what are you gonna do?

Let me talk to him, you

want me to talk to him?

No.

Come on, let me talk to him.

I mean how could this been

hurting him, it's ridiculous.

He's back in the kitchen,

but I wouldn't do that,

he's not very flexible.

Wait here, I'll talk

to him, I run a business.

What's his name?

Joe.

Joe, all right.

Hi, are you Joe?

Who are you?

Uh Joe, the waitress out front said

you don't want flyers in your window

but it's for a missing kid.

I don't want anything on

my window except my name,

and I want you to get out of the way.

Well look, can we talk

about this reasonably,

work somethin' out?

Work somethin' out, there's nothing to,

I told you to get out of my way.

But it's for a missing kid Joe, come on.

I want you outta

here, would you get out?

Hey, it's just flyers.

You hear what I said, get out.

Hey, come on, don't push.

Come on.

I told you three times

to get out of my kitchen

and I meant it.

- Hey, hey stop it.

Let him go.

- Get out, and stay out.

Let him go!

Are you gonna take him outta here?

Yes, just leave him alone.

Are you all right?

I'm fine.

Uh, my glasses.

Thanks for your help.

You're welcome.

I said leave him alone.

Do you wanna go?

Uh, if you don't mind, it is midnight.

Yeah.

Do you know how to get home?

Um, no.

Just stay on this, it'll

go back to your neighborhood.

Okay, you gonna be okay?

Yeah, I think so,

thank you for helping me.

Yeah, well, you're welcome.

Oh, oh.

Good luck.

- Goodnight.

Goodnight.

No wait, no, no, this is good now.

Jack leaves the doll on the

doorstep, he walks to his car,

am I tellin' this right, Jack?

Suddenly he gets in, this woman

and the neighbors surround the car.

She thinks he's kidnapped her daughter.

Guy gets a baseball bat.

- An angry mob corrals him,

he's brought to the

station, and that's when

he calls me here at the restaurant.

Ripped my necktie.

That's an incredible story.

Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.

So you went downtown to return a doll?

Yeah.

Why did you do that?

Just one of those things,

it was on my way home.

Believe me, I would've much rather

been talking software with you.

I don't know if Terry told you--

And what's she like?

Who, the woman?

What was she like uh, she's a

waitress, lives near downtown.

Really?

Well, let's talk software.

Let's do it.

How 'bout some appetizers?

Well here's something

I'm concerned about,

our printer support and

serial communication ports.

Any problems interfacing?

Serial communication ports,

you want me to explain that to Martin?

Sure.

May I help you, Miss--

Yes uh, I need to talk to that--

Jack?

Would you uh, gentlemen

excuse me for a moment.

Nothing's going

to happen, it's all right,

look he's coming over

here, he's coming over.

Thank you.

What are you doing here?

I told your secretary

it was an emergency.

What are you doing here?

I think I found the

woman you saw on the train.

And why don't we wait

for Jack to come back

and talk first about uh--

- I'm standing across

the street and I saw her and

I followed her for awhile.

I saw where she went,

she went to this motel,

I saw the door and the exact--

I'd love another one

of those little quiches.

Right now, it's her, I know it's her.

She's wearing a green

coat, she's tall, thin,

she's got brown hair.

All right, give me the

address, I'll be there

as soon as I can.

- No, you've gotta come now.

I don't know how long

she's gonna be there.

- I can't come now,

I'm in the middle of a

meeting, call the police.

I can't call the

police, I don't know if it's her.

So you're not sure.

I can't take the chance!

Look, I, I'm sorry, but

you're just gonna have to wait.

You know something, you are selfish.

I am not--

Jack, problem?

What is it with you, I

spent all night with you.

Now is not the time, there's no problem.

Jack, why don't we deal with this later.

I'm talking to him, please.

I can come in a couple of hours.

My god, how can you say that?

Jack, they're waiting,

why don't you sit down

and let the restaurant take care of this.

Sorry, give me a number

where I can reach you

and I'll get in touch with

you as soon as I can, okay.

Okay?

How can you do this?

Sorry, little

commotion, all taken care of.

Is everything okay, Jack?

Yeah, I'm fine, I'm fine.

Jack.

Uh, ma'am.

Um I, I lost my train of thought.

Serial ports.

Of course, how

could we forget that.

Jack, why don't we uh, uh focus on

some of Gary's concerns here.

I'm, I'm sorry but,

I have to go somewhere.

I can't explain, I'll be

back as soon as I can,

I'm very sorry.

Where're you going?

I, I don't know, I'll call you

as soon as I can, I'm sorry.

Hey wait a minute!

What?

We'll take the car.

Look, I sacrificed something

very important in there.

I'm here, I'm showing up.

Don't make me think about it.

Now where is she?

We'll take the car.

This is the room.

Are you sure?

What do I do if it's her?

Who is it?

Uh, it's uh, uh, the manager.

Who?

The manager.

Sorry, wrong room.

Going uptown, you want a ride somewhere?

I'll walk.

You staying here?

In the area.

Well I can't stay with ya.

I didn't ask you to.

I know, I know.

Where are you going now?

There's some clubs here near Fifth.

Prostitutes work the area.

Prostitutes.

Look it's none of my business,

but you shouldn't be...

Wanna get in?

She's not here.

Scotch and soda, please.

I'm sorry that I said

you were selfish before.

Well you hear something enough

in your life, maybe it's true.

Women.

Yeah, well,

can I ask you something?

Why are you doing this alone,

where's Carla's father?

He lives in Texas.

He cares enough to be angry,

he just doesn't care

enough to get on a plane.

Who's he angry at?

Who do you think?

Me.

Why?

Because it's my fault.

Why was it your fault?

Because I left her

alone, which I never do.

I'm usually so cautious,

I'm always so careful,

especially with her, but,

I didn't wanna bring her

upstairs because I was late for work.

I was worried about being

five minutes late for work,

it's such a stupid thing.

I was afraid that they'd be upset with me

for being five minutes late so,

I know what people must think.

What are they thinking?

That I was irresponsible,

that I deserve it.

I don't think that.

You can't blame yourself.

What about friends, are they helping?

I have made many friends.

I mean it's, it's mostly my fault.

After the divorce, when we moved here,

I became very insulated.

It was just us.

We had our routines and

things we did together.

I never felt alone, I was

comfortable, it was settled.

I don't want or need anything in my life

except for her, just her.

And I wanna sleep again.

We can go.

I just wanna use the restroom first.

Ashtray.

Excuse me, can I have the ashtray.

Hi.

Hi.

I'm sorry, you look familiar to me.

Really?

What's your name?

Amanda Brown.

Amanda Brown uh, 20

questions here uh, let's see,

what do you do for a living?

I'm a model, are you in that business?

Yeah.

What do you do?

Well I work with people

in modeling, agents and,

can I buy you a drink?

I don't think so.

Sorry, man this place is boring.

Look, I live nearby, do you

wanna get out of here, uh,

I'm sorry, I forgot your name.

Amanda.

Hi uh, I'm Jack.

Good for you.

Nice meeting you, whoever you are.

Well, could you leave

a card or something,

we're lookin' for models, hey

can I buy you guys a drink?

Hey you know this guy, who are you?

I just met him.

Well just leave you number, okay?

What the hell's goin' on, let's go.

Hey look, I need to talk to you.

What are you doing?

On the subway, I saw you on the subway.

Hey, where you goin'?

Hey, what're you tryin' to do, man?

Hey, I just wanna talk--

- Way to go.

to the girl, I was just talkin' to her.

She's gone.

Take it outside.

God, Jack.

Ah, call the police.

You got hit again?

Yes.

We got a good lead now,

we think we know who she is.

You think?

She's got a few aliases, okay.

Uh, Brown, Walton, Johnson.

We got an APB out on her.

Why don't both of you go home,

let us handle this, okay?

We'll find her.

How's your eye, let me see.

It's fine, you know he hit

me when I wasn't looking.

I got a lot

harder knocks than this

when I was playing football.

Yeah, but that was a

long time ago, wasn't it?

You wanna do me a

favor and drive me home?

I broke my glasses.

You want me to drive that car?

Yeah you just turn the key,

step on the gas and it goes.

You're sure it's gonna

let me do that to it.

I could take care of

her again, you know that.

You just, I could do it

if you let me, that's all,

you just, you have to let me, okay?

I don't know what you want, just,

tell me what you want.

It's what

you want, isn't it, sweetheart?

What is it?

Is it good?

Is it what you gave me last

time, 'cause that was good.

You, you, you, you want

me to pay you for it?

I can, I can pay you.

Don't be stupid, we pay you.

I don't know what you want!

Go ahead, this is for you.

I, I won't take the

subway anymore, I won't.

I just, I had to take it

once just, just to get there.

But, you took care of it, right?

Please!

Last chance, Amanda.

Why are you doing this to me?

We won't do it anymore, all right?

I mean, I won't tell anybody,

I don't even know your name.

I won't tell anybody.

Jack, come on in, it's okay.

Is that her?

Yes.

Any idea what St. James means?

Uh, no.

We found the syringe, she OD'd.

It's like a drug store in this place,

she had a nice little

connection somewhere.

Landlord said that he saw her with uh,

a few different kids

these past three months.

Kids?

Yeah, said that she babysat for friends.

It's Carla's.

Oh my god.

The happy mother was reunited

this morning with her lost little girl.

Alan Dunlap of the Child

Recovery Foundation

was there to congratulate her.

Officials are still

puzzled by the abduction,

but for the anxious

mother, a happy ending.

Hey.

We got good news, and bad news.

The good news is, SST just

called and gave us the contract.

Yes!

The bad news is, we gotta

drink this outta coffee cups,

we don't have any glasses

around here for god sakes!

What kind of operation is this?

You did it, champ, you did it!

God, how do you do it?

You lead a charmed life, you know that?

That's, that's great.

This is good news.

That's good news.

Oh this guy is cool.

He's cool.

Hey, we're havin' a party

tonight at Franco's.

All the employees, and

you will be there, right?

Huh, what do you mean, huh?

You are going to be there

because despite the great lengths

you went to screw this deal

up, this was your deal, Jack.

This was your baby.

Yeah, come on.

- Come on, Jack.

And tomorrow I want you to

get the hell out of the city,

get on a plane to, where was it?

Uh, Antigua.

Antigua.

You go see Kate, take two weeks, okay?

Now are you happy?

I'm happy.

You're not happy.

I'm happy.

7:30, Franco's, I wanna hear happiness!

Antigua, two weeks.

- Here you go.

Saw the news.

I thought you might need some company.

This place is kind of a mess.

It's nice.

Small.

Did you talk to your friend?

Yeah, she called me tonight.

Come on in, have a seat.

They know who took her?

No.

No, um, she got left on

a corner, this morning.

A neighbor found her.

She's too little to really

talk about what happened.

She said that she remembers

a man, a friendly man.

She said something about a

big house with a lot of toys.

She just got dropped

off, it seems so random.

I know that I'm suppose to feel

happy for her, but I don't!

It just, it's not fair!

I, I know that sounds awful,

I don't wanna feel that way, but I do.

I can't sleep.

I just wanna sleep for a night.

Close your eyes.

Who's in there, Elena!

Hi.

Hi.

Did I sleep on your arm all night?

I think you did.

Do you want some coffee?

Oh, oh no, that's

okay, I should be going,

I have to get to work.

Me too.

Do you want a ride somewhere?

No, I have a car.

Okay.

I didn't know that.

So long.

Laura, you know, I, I, I

don't know why I came over here,

I didn't think about it, I

just did it, it seemed okay.

But the truth is uh, I'm not

lookin' for anything right now

and uh, I mean you know how

it is when, when, when--

You don't have to explain,

I'm not looking for

anything either, not now.

I'm really glad that you were here.

I just wanna say thank you.

I wish I could help you.

You have.

Goodbye.

Morning.

Hi.

Morning.

Shay.

Well, you missed a

good party last night.

Where were you?

Couldn't make it,

look, I need your help.

Sure.

It may take awhile.

What are we doin'?

It's not company

business, it's personal.

We're gonna find somebody, a little girl.

St. James, St. James, come on, come on,

come on, what do you got?

St. James, you got, you

got at least half a page here

of residential listings for St. James.

Well, we'll have to check each one.

Each one?`

Yeah, each one, I'll talk, you read.

I'll get you playoff tickets.

Oh gee, thanks.

Adam St. James, 555-0024.

Yes, do you know an Amanda Brown?

Well what about Amanda Walton?

Amanda Brown.

You gonna need me anymore tonight, Jack?

Oh, no, thanks Paula,

I'll see you in the morning.

Well, good luck, whatever

you guys are doin'.

Yes Brown, Amanda Brown.

Amanda Brown, yes!

Uh, nevermind, uh, nevermind,

thank you, thank you.

Definitely not her, next.

Well that's it, uh a few

businesses, a lot of churches.

Well, let's hear 'em.

Churches, she's a prostitute.

Okay, okay.

St. James Church, St. James

Hospital, St. James Parish,

St. James Pizza?

St. James Rectory.

Hospital, where's the hospital?

It's downtown, 519 6th Street.

6th Street, that's just a few blocks

from the subway exit she took that night.

Did she take Carla to the hospital?

Maybe herself, let's call it.

They're not gonna give

you that information

over the phone, that's,

that's confidential.

Well how do we get it?

Well, we could always hack

into their computer system.

You know how to do that?

Hey, four years in grad school.

What do you think I did

on weekends, socialize?

How do we get the password?

Easy, you call up and ask for it.

Just give me, uh, sixty seconds.

St. James Hospital.

Hi uh, hospital records, please.

Records.

Hi, this is?

Betty.

Hi Betty, this is Tom and

Jack in computer operations.

We're troubleshooting the system,

I think we've got a

problem at your terminal.

Again?

Yeah, you believe it?

Could you do me a favor

and talk me through it?

What's the dial-up?

What's a dial-up?

The know, the number you

use to get into the system.

Oh, hang on, 555-4333.

That's what I thought,

and then what do you type?

I type, hello James.

Hello James, hm, well,

I'll look into the problem

and call you back, thanks, Betty.

Sure.

See, a little niceness goes a long way.

And,

we're in.

Administration records,

employee records, patient list--

Patient list, try that.

Let's go back to the night on the train,

see if Carla was admitted.

They wouldn't have given her real name,

so we'll have to look for a

four or five-year-old girl.

Nothing, no little girl

admitted on that night.

All right, uh, see if

Amanda Brown was admitted.

Amanda Brown.

Nothing.

What about Amanda Walton?

Nothing.

All right, all right uh,

Johnson, Amanda Johnson.

Got it, Amanda Johnson,

New York City, 115 pounds,

brown eyes, hair dark.

Admitted

February 12th, 1:00 a.m.

Treated for facial bruises and cuts,

slight bandages, re,

released in two hours.

Given Polysporin and codeine.

Sounds like she was beaten up.

What else?

That's it.

That's it?

That's it.

That's it?

That's it!

Jack, now I'm beat, I gotta go.

Are you leaving?

No, I'm gonna stick around for awhile.

You know, we can work on this tomorrow.

I think you should let somebody

know what you got here.

It's somethin'.

Yeah, ah, thanks for your help.

Take it easy.

Goodnight.

Child recovery.

Yes, I'd like to speak

to Alan Dunlap, please.

Alan Dunlap, no, he's

gone home of the night.

Who's calling?

Jack Bauer.

Jack, it's Peter Harmon, remember me?

I gave you the ride home

from the police station.

Oh yes, yes, would you have him call me

as soon as possible?

Would you tell him I have some information

I think he should know.

Can I pass it along to him?

No, no, no.

Are you sure?

Well yes, tell him that

it has to do with St. James.

St. James, will do, you'll be where?

I'll be at the office

for another half hour.

Got it.

Thank you.

All right, bye bye.

And there'll be lots and lots of people

get a brand new mommy and daddy.

They'll give you lots

and lots of presents.

Won't that be fun?

I don't want to, I don't--

Got both passports?

Yeah, we're ready.

Let's go.

Did you call Detective Hopkins?

Yeah, how much time do we have?

20 minutes.

Take it easy.

It's all right Laura,

we'll get there in time.

Okay, we'll get there, slow down.

Laura.

Now watch it now.

Laura, slow down, just

slow down a little bit.

Watch out!

Hey, you almost hit that guy.

Are you crazy?

Flight number 24 for Miami

will be boarding at gate seven.

Arriving Tokyo

passenger Nicholas Bernardi

please meet your party at baggage

claim one, carousel three.

FWA flight number

22A to New York and London

is now boarding at gate five.

Do you have a 10:30 flight to London?

Uh, we have a monitor.

What gate is it?

Uh, London, with a stop in New York.

That flight is just closing.

What gate is it?

Gate five, excuse me, no one's allowed

to the gate without a ticket.

We just wanna get to the gate,

uh, all right, all right,

give me two tickets.

On the London flight,

do you have passports?

Yes, two flights to New York,

two tickets to New York,

just hold the plane.

Well, we can't hold the plane, sir.

Get...

This is

the final boarding call

for FWA flight number 22A

to New York and London.

There are still seats

available in coach,

is that all right?

Fine.

- Anything!

Seat 7D, you'll be right there.

Come on!

Your watch'll set it off.

Hurry up!

Oh my god.

Can we hurry, we gotta catch a plane.

Come on!

3C, should we squeeze in here?

Hey, wait a minute,

that flight's leaving!

Security.

Hold the plane, wait,

we're on this flight!

- Wait!

Wait!

- Wait!

Have you got boarding passes?

Yes, yes.

Wait a minute, no, wait a minute.

Your seats are back here,

you're going to have

to take your seats now.

Sir.

Carla.

Sir, miss, hold it, look,

let's not make a scene.

Let's just go off.

- All right, let me explain,

there's a little girl on this

plane, she's been kidnapped,

she's on this plane.

We'll look, you go, how's that?

My daughter's on this plane.

Who's she with?

A man.

Miss.

I don't see any little girl.

She's gotta be here.

Carla.

There's no little girl here.

Check the bathrooms.

Miss.

The other side.

Carla!

I wanna go home.

Hey, stop that guy!

Francis.

Francis.

Is this true?

Yes.

Who did this?

Just me and Peter Harmon.

And someone to look after them

'til we found them a suitable home.

That was always painful, but

we did the best we could.

Eventually we found homes for them.

Found a way for them to start a new life.

We always did, somewhere

there were parents wanting.

Peter Harmon.

Yes, what about him?

He deleted the computer file.

Files.

We only took the ones

that never had a chance.

People had faith in us, they trusted us.

How could you destroy that?

We gave them a better life.

You took children!

You're not listening.

Have you seen the way

they live, no education,

no values, roaming the

streets, no sense of family.

Children without fathers, don't you see

this is a cycle that never ends.

You must see it.

Alan, there are certain

people who are unqualified,

who are unfit to raise

children in this society.

I'm talking about them, not us,

we were careful, we were selective.

And sometimes, if we made

an error in judgment,

we would give them back, we

would return them, we were fair.

It worked.

You don't understand

what I'm saying, do you?

Oh look, there

she is, there she is!

That's great.

Jack.

We just wanna say, thank you.

You're welcome.

Hey, champ, nice goin'.

Oh jeez, my arm.

Oh, it's the arm now, huh?

This guy.

You want us to get you a car?

That's all right, I'll walk.

Oh yeah walk it up, hey, hey, oh.

Come here for a second.

Know who this guy is?

No, who?

Guess, look at him!

I'm lookin' at him, I don't know.

What do you mean, you don't, Jack Bauer.

Who?

Jack Bauer, big Ivy League

quarterback at Dartmouth.

The Scrambler.

Ivy League, The Scrambler,

never heard of him.

When did you play?

Before your time.

Jack?

What are you doin' here?

Well I'm coming home,

what're you doing here?

A long story.

Were you picking me up?

No.

My god, are you all right?

What happened to your eye?

It's a long story.

Where's your friend?

He left early.

Hope you had a good time.

He didn't get my bonus miles, did he?

Jack.

Jack.

Jack, would you just wait a min,

Jack, come on, I've

been trying to call you.

I wanna talk about this.

There's nothing to talk about.

Look, I know what I did, I was angry.

Now can we just try again?

There.

You two together?

Wait!

Stop!

I'll call you tomorrow.

Okay, I'd like that.

Okay.

Could you get

out of the way, please,

make the way for Mrs. Killin, please.

Ma'am, look this way.

How, how did you feel when

you saw your daughter?

What are your plans now?
