24 (2001–2010): Season 2, Episode 24 - Day 2: 7:00 a.m.-8:00 a.m. - full transcript

[ Man ] Previously on 24.

You may not be able to contact
me after this. [ Jack ] Why?

Chappelle became a problem, so
I had to take him out of play.

They're on to me. It's only a matter
of time before they take me out.

Who do I contact if I need help?

I'm sending Michelle out to the field
to set up an off-site station.

You're under arrest. Where's
Michelle Dessler? - I can find her.

[ Man ] Yeah, affirmative, Central.
She's in custody.

Kim? Hello?

[ Kim ] Who are you?
I'm Kate Warner.

Your father sent me
to come get you.



Why would my dad send someone he just
met to come get me? - He trusts me.

The sooner we leave, the sooner
you and your dad can be together.

The attorney general called me. He
assumed you'd want me for your counsel.

What have they told you?-You'd been
removed from office by the cabinet.

This country's about to go
to war based on evidence...

manipulated by a man
named Peter Kingsley.

I need you to find out
everything you can about him.

- What happens now?
- We got one last play.

Deliver Kingsley.
He's far too dangerous.

And you'll never
get close to him.

You're right. I won't...
but you will.

Kingsley doesn't know
Hewitt's been killed.

If you tell him you can deliver
him, that should get his attention.

I want the tapes that
you made of our conversation.



I'll give you
Alex Hewitt in return.

All right. L.A. Coliseum,
Gate 18, 30 minutes.

What kind of support
will you be getting from C.T.U.?

As of now, none. [ Groans ]

Jack! Jack! [ Screams ]

[ Man ] The following takes place
between 7:00 a.m. and 8:00 a.m.

[ Grunts ]

You okay? Yeah.

[ Coughs ]

[ Engine Cranking ]

Come on. Come...

Damn it, the car won't start.

We got to get out of here.

My seat belt's jammed.

Mrs. Palmer,
I'm gonna need your help.

Mrs. Palmer,
please don't do this.

I'm sorry, Jack, but I have
to take care of myself.

When I'm free, I'll call an ambulance
for you. You can't do this!

I don't have a choice. You're
a very impressive man, Jack,

but you see everything as either
good or bad, just like David.

And the world is so much more
complicated than that. - No, it's simple.

There's a war about to start, and you're
the only person who can help me stop it.

What about the president?

He turned away from me.

After 25 years of building a life
together, a family, he turned me away.

Eventually, they will connect
you to this conspiracy.

That bomb was never
supposed to go off.

None of this was supposed
to happen this way.

I know. I believe you.

You can put an end to it now.

If you help me get Kingsley, your
husband will get his presidency back.

That will be because of you.

Mrs. Palmer, please!

[ Grunts ] Damn it.

What do you want me to do?

There's a knife
in the glove box.

Help cut me out.

All right, it's more intelligible like this.
Nobody can understand. See here,

I can't identify... Come on in.

[ Novick ] This is much better.
It's simpler.

We got to be able
to explain this thing.

- I need to talk to you, Mike.
- I'll be done in five minutes.

Mike. It's important.

Excuse me.

[ Sighs ] What is it?

It's a flash file
on Peter Kingsley.

I pulled it up just
a few minutes ago.

Peter Kingsley, the man Jack
Bauer thinks is behind the bomb.

There's a record of phone
calls that Kingsley made,

some as recently
as six hours ago,

to a soldier named
Jonathan Wallace.

Wallace was a member of the Coral Snake
Brigade. He apparently killed his own men.

I know who Wallace is.

The planes have passed over
their final checkpoint...

and will be reaching
their targets within the hour.

Our primary targets
are all military,

but one includes a command and control
center inside a residential area.

As smart as our weapons
have become,

there may be
some collateral damage.

You mean civilian casualties.

Yes, sir.

There's no way to avoid these?

I'm afraid not.

Then it's something we're just
going to have to live with.

[ Ringing ]

Ryan Chappelle.
Ryan, this is Mike Novick.

How can I help you, sir?

I know there's been
some confusion today...

about the veracity
of the Cyprus audio.

Not really. Our teams came to
the same conclusion as Langley.

Do you happen to know if Jack Bauer
is still trying to find evidence...

that the recording
was fabricated?

Yes, I believe he is. But he's
operating outside our authority.

I want you to assist
his investigation.

Sir, I don't even know where he is.
Then find him.

Mr. Novick, I'm not sure why
you're asking me to do this,

but I was told we're already at war and to
proceed accordingly. We're not at war yet.

You have 30 minutes
to report back to me...

the findings of Bauer
and your efforts.

But, sir...
That's a direct order, Ryan.

You have my channel. I want you to
call me back on this line. That's all.

[ Kingsley ] I'll be on the plane
within the hour. Why the delay?

The bomb detonating in the wrong location
created a little extra work for me.

Nothing to worry about, I hope.
No, not at all, sir.

I won't bore you with the details.
Bore me.

I still have to
take care of Alex Hewitt.

Hewitt is the only one who can
bring this whole thing down.

You told me
you'd have him by now.

I wasn't able to find him, but I'm
taking care of it. Don't worry.

[ Phone Beeps ]

Sit down, both of you.

Look, you don't need Michelle here.
She was acting under my orders.

- I can defend myself, Tony.
- I said sit down.

I need you to get me
in contact with Jack Bauer.

Oh, I see.

Jack got some support above you, and
now you're being squeezed, right?

Can you do it or not?
What's going on?

Bauer's evidence might actually
have some relevance.

Which means we were right.

No. You damn near put me in a coma.
That's assault.

I tell you what, Ryan.

You drop the charges
against us...

and we'll help you.

[ Tony ] Come on, Ryan.

You of all people know
that's your best move, right?

- Fine.
- In writing.

All right, all right,
in writing.

Just get me in touch with Bauer.

Shouldn't we just call for help?
There's no one to call.

I'm not working under
C.T.U.'s authority.

As far as they're concerned,
I don't exist.

So we're out on our own?
Completely.

Hey, you folks all right? You
need some help? He got hurt.

Can you get us to a hospital?
Uh, yeah, yeah, sure.

Mrs. Palmer, you need to drive.

Wait a second, what do you mean she
needs... Sorry, but we need your car.

Hey, easy, all right? Go ahead, take it.
It's yours.

Thank you.

[ Beeping ]

They're ready, sir. Thank you.

Have not been able to confirm
his whereabouts.

Miss Warner. Yeah?

Hi. Carrie Turner. Hi. Kate.

You must be Jack's daughter, Kim.
Where's my dad?

He's still in the field. Why don't
you wait here for a moment?

I'll go tell Ryan Chappelle that
you're here. - I'll handle this, Carrie.

- I thought you were in custody.
- I was released.

Kim, I heard
what happened to you.

You all right? Yeah, I guess so.

Look, I just want to see my dad.
Make sure he's okay.

Yeah. He's not here right now. He
won't be back for a couple of hours.

Does he know I'm here? No, not yet, but
we'll tell him as soon as he phones in.

Listen, Jack insisted we
call as soon as we get here.

I understand. He's just not
reachable right now.

I'm gonna have Carrie take you
back and get you situated.

I'll be there
in a minute, all right?

Hey, it's gonna be okay.

Okay.

Miss Warner? Hmm?

Look, I don't know if
you're aware of this,

but your father came back here
after we released him. - Why?

He wanted to talk to your sister
before she was taken away.

They brought Marie back here?

Yeah.

[ Bob ] You lied to me.

You killed Reza.

You tried to kill
your own sister.

You were willing
to set off a nuclear bomb...

in a city
with ten million people.

You tell me why,
because I need to understand.

Tell me that
they forced you to do it,

that they brainwashed you,
that they threatened you.

You can tell me that you didn't
know what you were doing.

There must be a reason.

There is no reason, Dad.

[ Sighs ]

I can't accept that.

I couldn't either...

until I looked into her eyes
and she pointed a gun at me...

and started to pull the trigger.

Trust me, Dad.

She's not going to
give you any answers.

She can't.

At least nothing that
we could ever understand.

Dad.

Come on. Let's go.

Kate.

[ Chain Clanks ]

You think you'll
be safe out there?

You won't be.

[ Phone Ringing ]

Jack, it's Tony.
Tony, you back in play?

Yeah. Look, Jack,
Kim's here at C.T.U.

She's safe. Thank God.

Look, don't tell her
what's going on.

Just tell her I'm going to be back
as soon as I can, okay? I will.

Listen, Jack, this is Ryan.
We need to talk.

Ryan, you son of a bitch. You stopped that
chopper from picking up me and Hewitt.

Hewitt's dead. I'm holding
you personally responsible.

Listen, Jack,
things have changed.

You've got full support.
Give me your mission profile.

I've set up a meeting
with Kingsley.

We're going to meet at the Los
Angeles Coliseum, Gate 18.

Mrs. Palmer's agreed to wear a wire.
She's going to get him to confirm...

that the three Middle Eastern countries
had nothing to do with the nuke.

I want you to stand down until you get some
support. Our people will be there soon.

No. We don't have time. Kingsley's
expecting the meet to go down now.

You need backup.

Ryan, if you want to help me, get
me voiceprints of Peter Kingsley...

and Sherry Palmer now, to use
for authentication. Done.

I also need a live audio feed
to the White House.

You want an audience
with the president? Yes.

All right, you'll have it. Make
sure you keep the line clear.

Copy. We're pulling
into the coliseum now.

We need to get a SWAT
team to his location.

Pull over there.

Wait here for me.

Come on.

[ Beeps ] Let's get you wired.

Take your jacket
off your shoulder.

This is a wireless transmitter.

They won't know to look for it.
They won't be able to trace it.

This is crazy. We shouldn't
be doing this alone.

We don't have another choice.

Just remember... Kingsley doesn't
want to leave here without Hewitt.

That's got to be
to our advantage.

[ Keypad Beeping ]

Okay, say something. I'm scared.

Okay, it's working.

[ Beeping ]

Yes, Mike? Uh, Mr. President,

I am against any delay in our military
actions... I have been from the start.

But there is a good chance we will receive
conclusive evidence in the next half hour...

the Cypress recording was false.

Mike, we know Second Wave brought
the nuke into the country,

and we know Second Wave is sponsored
by these three countries.

What am I missing here? I don't have
all the details, Mr. President,

but I just learned
about a possible link...

between Second Wave and a man named
Peter Kingsley. Who the hell is he?

He's apparently part of a consortium of oil
interests with contracts in the Caspian Sea.

So what are you saying? An oil
consortium's behind the nuke?

Jack Bauer believes he can get
a confession from Kingsley.

He's set up a live audio feed.

Mike, our bombers are due to drop their
payloads in less than 20 minutes.

Bauer's meeting Kingsley
any minute.

[ Michelle ] This is a live voice print.
[ Sherry ] Testing, one, two.

And this is a voice file
we have on record...

which will prove that it is,
in fact, Sherry Palmer.

One, two, three, testing.

There, it's confirmed.- All right.
The one below is Kingsley?

Yeah. If it matches, we're good.
Are you guys getting this?

We're good here. Okay. How
far out is our backup, Ryan?

They're 11 minutes out. That's too long.
We've got to go now.

Just wait, Jack. We can't wait.

We're already ten minutes past the
meeting time. Is Prescott ready?

Yeah. Tony's on
with the White House.

They're setting up
a live audio feed now.

Okay, good. We are set to go.

How are you doing, Mrs. Palmer?

What's to prevent Kingsley from
shooting me the moment I appear?

Kingsley won't do anything
until he gets Hewitt.

But the moment he realizes
we don't have Hewitt?

I'll be covering your back.

That's not very comforting,
considering the condition you're in.

I may not make it out of this.

I'm not going to lie to you, Mrs. Palmer.
That's a possibility.

I'm doing this for David.
You know that, don't you?

Yes.

Will you tell him that?

In case something happens.

I'll take care of it,
Mrs. Palmer.

You've got to go now.

[ Groans ]

[ Groaning Quietly ]

Got it? It's good.

Line's confirmed.

Mike. Yes, sir.

They just finished
setting up the feed.

I hope this isn't going
to be a waste of our time.

Believe me,
Mr. President, so do I.

[ Sighs ] What's going on, Mike?

The president and I thought
you should be part of this.

Along with Prescott
and the attorney general,

- we will be listening to a live feed.
- Of what?

A sting operation
against Peter Kingsley.

It appears he was the architect
of today's bombing...

and the delivery
of the Cypress audio.

Bauer found Kingsley?

Yes, but it won't be Bauer
who'll be talking to Kingsley.

What difference does it make, as long
as we get him to incriminate himself?

What is it, Mike?

It's Sherry who'll be
talking to Kingsley.

I don't understand.

It seems that Kingsley
recruited her some months ago.

She was part of this.

- Sherry is working with this man Kingsley?
- It appears that way, sir.

To detonate a nuclear bomb
and start a war? No.

It's unclear how much she knew
or how deep she was in it.

We just have to hope she can extract
a confession from Kingsley.

So now Sherry is working with Jack
Bauer to bring down Kingsley?

Yes. And at considerable
risk to herself.

[ Beeping ]

Scott, don't do anything
until I tell you to, all right?

We need Hewitt. Understood.

Where's Hewitt?

He's safe.

Where is he?

You lied to me. You wanted
this bomb to go off all along.

You used Roger Stanton,
and you used me.

Yes, I did.

Well, now I'm tied to you
and the nuclear detonation.

I want safe haven.
That's your problem.

Well, I just made it yours, because
you won't see Hewitt until I'm safe.

Don't horse trade with me.
Don't insult my intelligence.

Confirm. Got a match
on Kingsley's voice.

Ryan, we got it.

You're not going anywhere
until I have Hewitt.

That doesn't work for me.

I'll call you on this line
to give you Hewitt's location...

after I'm safely away.

You don't need to know
where I'm going.

Jack, we're not getting what we need here.
She'll get it for you.

Now there's the matter of the recordings.
Oh, they're right here...

every phone conversation
between you and me.

No. I want all of them,
including Cyprus.

Now, why would you want Cyprus?
You had nothing to do with that.

Insurance. Insurance?

Once the country goes to war,

the government's never going
to let that be exposed.

Hewitt is the only one
who can hurt us.

Because he forged the Cyprus recording.
That's right.

Okay, Tony, you got your proof. Let
me go in. Give me the green light.

- Get a confirm from the White House.
- Just a second, Jack.

She can't stay out there much longer.
Come on. This is Almeida.

Are you satisfied? C.T.U. wants
to know if that's enough...

to prove the Cyprus
recording's false?

Have you confirmed
that this is indeed live...

and these voices have
been authenticated?

Yes, sir.

So, that's it? Yes.

When I land, I'll call you. Mm.

You're bluffing. You don't
have Hewitt, do you?

Oh, yes, I do. No, you don't.

Scott, take her out.

Kill her.

[ Gunshots ]

[ Rapid Gunfire ]

- Run, Sherry!
- [ Grunting ]

[ Rapid Gunfire ]

[ Whimpers ]

Come on! Come on!

Mrs. Palmer,
get out of here! Go!

[ Gunshots ]

[ Bones Cracking ] [ Groaning ]

[ Groaning ]

[ Gun Clicks ]

[ Clicking ]

Jack Bauer.

You caused me a lot
of trouble today, Jack.

You're not going to give me
Hewitt, are you?

[ Helicopter Whirring ]

It's clear. All clear!

[ Man ] Watch your back now.

[ Shouting, Indistinct ]

[ Man ] To the right.

Go!

[ Man ] There's someone down!

The back window is clear. Mr. President, our
bombers are three minutes from the targets.

[ Man On Radio ]
Initiating sequence 6-1-Tango-1.

Target in view. Weapon five.

Are we go for a strike?

Are we go for ARC-P1?

Prescott,
we are awaiting command.

Abort the attack.

[ Man On Radio ] Flight. Abort. Abort.
Division One Avalanche.

[ Beeping ]

What do you mean Kingsley is dead?
How could that happen?

I warned you not to use him.

So, we did use him,
and he failed.

But it won't matter. Once the
war starts, we'll be okay.

It isn't going to start.
Why is that?

The president found out about the Cyprus
recording and called off the attack.

There isn't going to be
any war, Max.

Well, we're going to have
to do this another way.

- Another way? What are you talking about?
- You'll find out.

It'll start today.
[ Phone Disconnects ]

[ Dialing ]

It's me. Go ahead.

The cabinet has annulled
its earlier action.

I've instructed
the Secret Service to resume...

its charge of serving you as
President of the United States.

I see.

I've also tendered my resignation,
effective immediately,

and those members of the cabinet who voted
against you have also agreed to resign.

[ Sighs ] Jim...

gentlemen, ladies...

we came dangerously close
to war today.

That all of us
reacted emotionally...

to the nuclear detonation
is understandable.

But leaders are required to have
patience beyond human limits.

The kind of action
we nearly took...

should only be exercised
after all other avenues...

have been exhausted...

after the strictest standard
of proof has been met.

By casting me aside so quickly,

you effectively
lowered those standards...

and that was a profound mistake.

It was not, however,

a mistake you're
likely to make again.

Therefore, I do not accept
your resignations.

We have a nation
to heal today...

and all of you play a vital role
in that healing process.

[ Prescott ] Mr. President...

I don't know what to say.

There's nothing to say.

We have work to do.

That'll be all.

Jenny, I want you to set up
a press conference. - When?

As soon as you can make it happen.
And I want it public.

I want to speak to the people directly.
They deserve my assurance.

Yes, sir.

Mike...

I want to thank you again for calling C.T.U.
in the 11th hour.

Of course, Mr. President.

But you should have been
with me to the end.

That's what I expected of you.

That's why I appointed you.

I'm relieving you of your
post, effective immediately.

Yes, Mr. President.

Thank you, sir. I can't
take all the credit myself.

It's a great team
George Mason put together here.

[ Muffled ] A terrific job.
Congratulate them, tell them good work.

Yes, I will. Thank you, sir.

Tony, that was
District Director Vaughn.

He's so happy with what we did here
today, he doesn't know where to start.

That's great.

So, what's up, my friend?

Well, uh...

it's like this.

Either fire me
or get out of my chair.

The chair's all yours.

Hey. Hey.

The new shift is here. They've
been brought up to speed.

I was thinking I'd get
my brother and go home.

Um...

Michelle, um...

there's a handful of people who
made a big difference today,

and you're one of them.

You made some tough choices
and went up against me,

and I want you to know
that you were right.

Thanks.

So, uh...

why don't you go home
and get some rest?

Michelle.

See you tomorrow.

[ Siren Blaring ] [ Chattering ]

I'm sorry, ma'am. I'll need to see
the contents of your bag, please.

I'm Kate Warner. This is Kim Bauer.
Yeah, sure.

Uh, yeah, you can go ahead.

All right. Thanks.

Excuse me. -[ Man
] Coming through.

Excuse us.

Hey, honey. [ Coughs ] Daddy.

It's gonna be all right.

[ Sighs ] I know.

[ Sniffles ]

I love you.

[ Crying ]

I love you too.

Dad,

I'm gonna take care of you.

[ Palmer ] I urge you, in the
strongest possible terms,

not to indulge
any rumors or theories...

that you may have already heard
or may soon hear.

Once the facts are known,

I will present them
to you myself.

Until then,
know that we are all safe...

and that we will continue
to be safe.

The most patriotic thing
that we can all do today...

is to keep living our lives.

So I urge you all,
go back to work,

go back to school,

because the freedom we enjoy, the
freedom that we earn every day,

is the very thing that
will defeat our enemies...

and keep us strong.

God bless America.

[ Cheering ]

God bless us all.

Thank you. Thank you very much.

God bless you. Thank you.

[ Cheering Continues ] Thank you.
Thank you.

Good to see you.

Thank you. Thank you. [ Man ]
Mr. President, over here, sir.

[ Palmer ] Bless you.

Thank you. Thank you.

Thank you. Thank you.

Mr. President! - God bless you.
Thank you.

Hi.

- Excuse me, Mr. President?
- Thank you.

Mr. President?

Hi. Thank you.

God bless you. Thank you.

[ Rings ]

- Yes?
- It's done.

Thank you.

[ Cheering, Applause ]

[ Sighs ]

Mr. President?

[ Labored Breathing ]

[ People Screaming ]

[ Man ] The president's down! He's down!
The president's down!

[ Jenny ] We need medical assistance!
Help! [ Shouting, Screaming ]

[ Man ] Stop that man right there!
Search him!-[ Jenny ] Mr. President?

Check him for weapons!
Oh, my God!

[ Jenny ] Mr. President,
are you all right, sir?

We need an ambulance! Help!

[ Clamoring Continues ]

[ Labored Breathing,
Slow Heartbeat ]
