24 (2001–2010): Season 3, Episode 11 - Day 3: 11:00 p.m.-12:00 a.m. - full transcript

"Previously on" 24.

You know me well enough not to be
surprised if there are repercussions.

I hope you're not threatening me.

I don't make threats, David,
just tell it like it is.

What he's doing is showing you that
not only did he have the power...

to help start your political career,
but he also has the power to put an end to it.

There has to be a way
to get to him.

David, what...
what's wrong?

I need your help.

Hector and Ramon are trying
to buy a virus to use as a weapon.

Millions of people could die.
I set up this deal...



so my government could take control
of the virus and destroy it.

- You're still with C.T.U?
- Yes, I'm still with C.T.U.

I cannot allow this virus
to get into the wrong hands.

I have a message from Jack.
The virus they're going to buy...

Jack is going
to take it from them.

Jack promised to get me and my family
out of here if I help you.

Come on. Come on.
Hurry. Hurry.

Bauer's with the Salazar
brothers in Mexico.

His transponder signal
stopped working.

We're doing everything we can
to reestablish contact.

Tell the Delta units to hold
their position till I get back to you.

There's been a complication.

- Another buyer's interested in the virus.
- We have a deal.

We'll hold an auction, and the virus
will go to the highest bidder.



- We just found out there's
another player in the deal.
- Who is it?

Nina Myers.

Your bid is $225 million.

Hers is 240. You win.

- We can get the virus!
- How do you get the virus?

I told you. I know her!
I can get to her!

The Salazars are willing to pay you at least
10 times more than what you're getting paid now.

Are you gonna be able to forgive me
for killing your wife?

If I wanted revenge, Nina,
I would have killed you already.

All I wanna do is finish this deal
and disappear for good.

Convince me.

The following takes place
between 11:00 p.m. and 12:00 a.m.

Adam, is Amador moving yet?

No. He's still stopped
at the location.

What do we know
about the area?

Um, it's mostly rural.
There's very few structures.

- Do we have infrared on it?
- Yeah.

It's not high-res satellite...

but there appear to be a number
of vehicles and bodies nearby...

but we have no idea
what they are.

Give him space. We want to make
sure he feels safe enough...

- "to take delivery of the virus."
- Got it.

What's the latest
on Chase Edmunds?

After he escaped from Hector,
he phoned his position into Delta teams...

and they're en route
to pick him up now.

- Edmunds?
- Yeah.

- Captain Reiss. What's your condition?
- Shot in the hand, but I'm fine.

- What about the others?
- I got two people. They're coming with me.

We spotted a vehicle from
the air heading this way.

It's the Salazars. They can't know that
C.T.U. Is here. We need to leave now!

Then let's get them out of here.

Sergio, we're getting on the chopper.
We're going to a safe place.

- Oriol, we need to go right now.
- We can't leave her like this.

Hector is coming.
You need to think about your son.

- "Bueno. Vamonos."
- "We gotta go now!"

Let's go! Let's go!
Move! Move! Move!

Keep 'em low!
Keep 'em low!

Get them in there!
Come on! Stay low! Stay low!

Move out!

- Yes?
- Alan?

- It's Wayne Palmer.
- What do you want?

I always thought you had more balls than
to threaten me through my brother.

What, you can't talk
to me man-to-man?

I don't owe you an explanation.
You slept with my wife.

That's between
you and me, Alan.

Fine. Step down,
and it all goes away.

That's not your decision.

We'll see.

Wayne.

Who you talking to?

- Alan Milliken.
- What the hell do you think you're doing?

Cleaning up my own mess, David.

- Hello, Alan.
- Mr. President.

That brother of yours
is going to be your undoing.

- I am not firing my brother.
- That's too bad.

And I have no intention
of losing my health care bill.

I've spent two years
putting it together.

Except you're three votes
short, last I checked.

You'd better brace yourself
for some disappointment.

I don't want to go
to war with you, Alan.

It's your choice, Mr. President.

The choice is unacceptable. There
has to be another way to work this out.

On any other issue, I'd bend over
backwards to accommodate you.

Not on this one.

Then you have only yourself
to blame for the consequences.

And I promise you...
you won't like them.

When is Sherry getting here?

- Five minutes.
- Good.

Are you sure you want
to bring her into this?

We're in a street fight, Wayne.
It's what she does best.

And we both have to focus
on what's happening in Mexico.

I know we're hoping for success,
but we have to anticipate failure.

If Jack Bauer
does not intercept the virus...

then we are dealing
with an international crisis.

This is Michael Amador.

He's representing the Ukrainians
in the sale of the virus.

Now, we have a Delta team tracking him
on the ground at a safe distance.

Why don't they get Amador
if they know where he is?

'Cause he may not
be carrying the virus.

And if he's not, we'd have blown
our chance at the interception.

Once Jack confirms it is the virus,
then the Delta teams will go in and secure it.

Delta asked for a photo of
the woman Jack's working with...

- "so I sent 'em this..."
- Adam, wait.

Nina Myers is the broker?

- Didn't you read the ops brief?
- No.

Kim, come with me.

- Would you finish the briefing, please?
- Yeah.

I'm sorry.

I was looking for
the right time to tell you.

I cannot believe Nina Myers
is involved in this.

Your father needed her help
to secure the virus.

She killed my mother.

My father couldn't even
pretend to work with her.

I'm sorry, Jack.

I'm sorry, Jack.

I wanted to think you'd
changed, but I can feel it.

You're lying.

You haven't forgotten
anything, have you?

You despise me...

and you'd do anything right now
to get me to go along with your plan.

That's not true.

It is true.

I know you're still
with C.T.U.

So why would I let you
set me up?

Now, you can believe
whatever you want...

but I need this deal
to happen.

I'm a fugitive.
I don't have a choice.

I need the Salazars
to pay me for the virus...

and you're the only person
Amador will deal with.

Do you understand me?

I'll honor your original deal.
You'll get your $20 million.

And you get
to keep breathing.

Until my client doesn't
get what he paid for.

Right now, your client should be
the least of your worries.

Hector, she's dead.

Get away from her.

Claudia.

They can't be far away.
Find them!

Find them! Find them!

I just spoke
to the Mexican authorities.

They're pissed off that
we didn't notify them earlier.

It's Hector.

- You set?
- Go.

Yeah.

It's me. Edmunds escaped.
He killed three of my men.

Has he contacted C.T. U?

Not yet.
But he may not call.

I found out Edmunds is rogue.
He's been acting on his own.

Then C.T.U. Hasn't sent anyone
down here to find him?

They don't even know
where he is.

- Okay, you call me the second you hear from him.
- I will.

- Yeah.
- Are you still with Bauer?

I'm at the main road
that leads into town.

- I'm waiting for Bauer to bring the woman.
- We have to call this off.

What are you talking about?

The C.T.U. Agent Edmunds,
he escaped.

- How?
- I don't know. Claudia was with him.

Ramon, she's dead.

I'm sorry.

But, Hector, we still
have business to do.

Not with Edmunds on the loose. As soon
as he gets to a phone, he'll call C.T.U.

- Find him before that happens.
- I'm trying, but it's too dark.

- He'll be impossible to track.
- What are you suggesting we do?

Forget this whole thing.
It's too dangerous.

- It's always been dangerous.
- Not like this.

Listen to me. You were
the one who made this deal.

You promised our buyers
something we can't deliver.

If you don't keep your
promise, my reputation...

and everything I worked for
will be ruined.

- Do you understand?
- I understand.

Keep some of your men
looking for Edmunds...

and bring the rest of the men here,
so we can do the deal.

Yes.

Ramon, it's Jack.
Everything clear outside?

- Yes.
- Okay. I need you to come back to the building.

Did the woman agree
to work with us?

I'll explain
when you get here.

Yes.

- Mr. President.
- "Yes, Aaron."

Sherry Palmer is here.

Show her in.

Thank you.

Hello, Sherry.

David.

Thank you, Aaron.

Please have a seat.

Uh, no, thank you.
I, uh... I'd rather stand.

So, uh, how are things
with Anne?

They're fine.

Good. I'm glad.

You, uh...

You deserve a little bit
of happiness.

Thank you.
You're looking well.

- But somehow different.
- A little older?

No, it's not that.

You look calm.

Um, tired, maybe.

But, uh, I'm not sure
exactly how calm.

I know these last three years
have been difficult.

Well, um...

not as difficult
as they could have been.

And, uh, I have you
to thank for that.

You kept me out of prison,
away from public humiliation.

I, um...

I lost a lot.

But most of it,
I discovered...

really wasn't that
important to begin with.

Which surprised me...
Imagine that.

- What? What's funny?
- No, nothing, really.

It's just that when
I wanted you to pull back...

and just let things be,
you were a shark.

Now that I've asked you back,
I need you to be a shark.

I can still be
whatever you need me to be.

Thank you.

So you say you're having some
kind of trouble with Milliken.

Yes. I am.

Okay. Tell me all about it.

Handcuffs? I thought you
were going to gain her trust.

I will. It's just going to take
a little longer than I hoped.

She agreed to do the exchange.
That's what's important.

- When is it happening?
- As soon as Amador calls.

Amador better call soon.
We might not have much time.

Your partner escaped.

You should have let me kill him
when I had the chance.

Yes, I should have.

For some reason,
Claudia was with him.

She ended up dead.

What are you
talking about? How?

Hector didn't say.

Tell Hector I'm sorry.

Tell him yourself
when he gets here.

Nina, I need you to open up
this transaction file.

Amador's gonna want to verify
your client's funds.

Now!

Bottom line is, Alan's
determined to see Wayne removed...

even if it means
destroying my presidency.

- And you've tried to work this out peacefully?
- Of course. Alan wouldn't budge.

In Alan's mind,
it's a matter of pride.

So, you want me to find something
you can use against Alan?

I've always known that you
knew things about Alan...

that you didn't tell me because
of my friendship with him.

And I've always known
you were too smart to ask.

Well, I guess we're both right.

Alan does have skeletons
in his closet...

that he would guard
at any cost.

One in particular
comes to mind.

But I must warn you, David,
it's a big one.

What is it?

All you need to know
is that if you play this card...

you and Alan Milliken will be enemies
for the rest of your life.

As far as I'm concerned, our friendship
ended when he tried to extort me.

Then I can help you.

Choppers four and five...
our insertion points are here and here.

Claudia's dead.
Why'd she die?

So we could be safe.

Your sister
was very brave, Sergio.

Now we don't have to worry
about Hector no more.

But I like Hector.

Yes, sir. Yes, sir.
Will do. Copy that.

That's good enough.
Give it to me.

I'm not finished.

Reiss, what's going on?

Hector Salazar's looking for us. C.T.U.
Wants me to pull back my surveillance team.

- We can't lose Amador.
- We won't.
C.T.U.'s tracking him through his cell phone.

- He can dump his cell phone. We need visual.
- Don't worry about that.

- It's not your problem anymore.
- Don't tell me it's not my problem!

It's been my problem
for the last year!

Look, Edmunds.
You need medical attention.

We're evacuating you
with the boy and his father now.

I'm not going anywhere.

- Mr. Chappelle.
- Yeah.

I'm picking up on some heat signatures
moving in on Amador's position.

- "Ground vehicles?"
- "From the speed, it looks like it."

All right.
This may be the virus.

- Do you want me to contact the Delta teams?
- Yeah. Put 'em on alert.

But make sure they don't approach
until Amador meets Bauer.

- We want a visual on the virus.
- Okay. Got it.

- "Sherry."
- Wayne.

What are you doing in here?

Oh, I'm just waiting for them
to prepare an office for me.

It's good to see you,
Sherry, but to be blunt...

I don't think your being here
is such a good idea.

Well, of course
you don't, sweetie...

because this whole thing
is about your indiscretion with Julia.

- Oh, Sherry.
- I say that with no judgment.

Of course you do... since you're the last person
on earth who's in a position to pass judgment.

Okay, Wayne, let's not play this.
We're both too good at it.

So, what do you
want me to hear?

Listen. I do appreciate you
comin' down here to help...

No, no, no, no.
Skip... that part.

Oh, that's right. I forgot that about you.

Listen, Sherry...

do whatever it is that you do
around here for a few hours.

But then I want you to tell David
that you were unable to find out...

- anything that he could use on Alan Milliken.
- Mm. So, you know if I do that...

the only way out of this
is if you resign.

- Which is what I wanna do.
- Well, David doesn't want that.

- And, frankly, neither do I.
- Sherry, why do you care?

Because David
needs someone like me...

someone who sees things
the way they really are...

who's not afraid to throw
a punch every now and then.

It's obvious I can't play
that role anymore, but you can.

No, Wayne. I feel good
knowing David's got you...

and I'm gonna make sure
he keeps you.

So save your breath.
I'm gonna fix this...

and you are gonna make sure
your brother gets reelected.

Fine.

But, Sherry, don't you forget
how dangerous Alan Milliken can be.

Oh, I won't forget.

I'm afraid you're
the one who forgot...

when you decided to get
involved with his wife.

No, we haven't heard directly
from Jack in over an hour...

but our Delta teams
are on standby.

All right.
We'll monitor it from here.

- Uh-huh.
- Okay. I'll let him know.

"All right. Good."

Do you have any more
information on Nina Myers?

No, not yet.

Look, Kim.
I know it's hard...

but you're gonna have to put your
feelings aside till all this is over.

How can I put my feelings aside?

How can my father
put his feelings aside?

I've spent the last three years
of my life knowing that the woman...

who killed my mother was
pardoned by the president...

and that she's out there...

living her life.

And it's wrong.

I know.

She's violating
her pardon, isn't she?

- She's buying and selling a virus.
- Kim...

We cannot let her
get away this time.

Let's not get
ahead of ourselves here.

Please, Tony. She has to pay
for what she's done.

Promise me when this is all over,
you'll at least help make that happen.

- Yeah.
- "Tony, this is Chloe."

- "Is Kim in there?"
- "Yeah."

- I need her.
- All right. She's on her way.

Kim.
I'll do what I can.

Thank you.

Shh. It's okay.

Good girl. Nice and warm.

- Yes?
- Chloe, where are
the index keys for Salazar?

- Who is this?
- Patrick in Comm One.

You guys aren't authorized
to access those keys.

I'll come down
and do it for you.

- I'm just trying to save some time.
- I'll be down in a minute.

Fine.

Chloe. You wanted me?

Michelle needs me to brief
some people in Division.

Then I have to go to Comm One,
give them index keys.

I need you to watch
some things up here for me.

- Can you do your work from my station?
- Yeah, I guess so.

Good. This is Angela.
She's just been fed, so she'll sleep.

If she gets fussy,
put that in her mouth.

But, you can't have
a baby in here.

Chappelle thinks I had someone pick her up.
If he comes up, keep her hidden.

- Yeah... l... But I can't...
- I'll be back in 15 minutes.

Ramon.

- Jack's not who you think he is.
- Is that right?

He's working with C.T.U.
He's setting you up.

Do you think that my brother
and I are that stupid?

We made sure that
he's acting alone.

Don't you even think
of undermining this deal.

Hey, Jack.
I think it's Amador.

Put this phone on speaker.
You say one wrong word...

and he will kill you.

You understand?

Go.

- Hello.
- I've got the product.

- Are you ready to show me your account?
- Yes.

We agreed you'd provide
audit privileges.

Yes. Tell me
your routing number.

77509210.

Account number
45508996.

Okay.

The funds are in their account,
ready to be transferred?

Yeah.

There's an old mine
east of Posta Mita.

Meet me in the northernmost building
in an hour and 10 minutes.

I'll have one man
with me for security.

You may do the same.

Good. We'll leave
as soon as Hector arrives.

Yuri.

- Amador's on the move.
- What direction?

- "East."
- "Likely destination?"

There's half a dozen villages along
the vector. It could be any one of them.

With all due respect,
Adam was right.

We should order Delta team
to move in now and arrest Amador.

We've been over this. If the virus isn't
under Amador's control, we could lose it.

- We gotta wait for Jack's confirmation.
- How will he let us know?

The Salazars are watching.
It's not like he can make a phone call.

I don't know. He'll find a way.

I don't know. It's awfully late.

I can try...

David, don't you think it's about time
we informed the Mexican government...

exactly what it is
we're doing on their soil?

No. I don't want to risk
compromising the operation.

Then you should call
the president yourself.

Once he understands what kind
of threat this virus poses...

he should ease up.

Yes.

Sir, Alan Milliken
is holding for you on line five.

Thank you, Aaron.

- Yes, Alan.
- What the hell do you think you're doing?

- What are you talking about?
- Don't screw with me, David.

- I didn't pick this fight.
- You think you can enlist
your psychopathic ex-wife...

to manufacture lies about me
in order to bring me down?

- It's not going to happen.
- If you want it to stop...

keep your hands off my health care bill
and stay away from my brother!

You've got it backwards.

Your brother should have
stayed away from my wife.

- Come on, Alan. It's over.
- Really?

I'm looking at photographs of her
and Wayne together an hour ago.

He was just trying to convince her
to talk some sense into you.

I'm warning you, David.
Pull Sherry off this...

or the health care bill will be
the least of your problems.

Alan's scared.

Alan is at his most dangerous
when he's scared.

Mm-hmm.

Tell the Mexican ambassador that
I'll be calling his president directly.

" She's still out of town."

I heard you the first time,
sweetie. I'm not deaf.

I understand she's on vacation. I just
want to talk to her about Chagrin Falls.

- And give her this number, okay?
- "All right."

Thank you.

Yes, David?

I just got off the phone
with Alan Milliken.

- The blowback happened quickly, huh?
- Mm-hmm.

- I guess he was pretty upset.
- What have you been up to?

Exactly... what
you asked me to do.

I'm fighting back.

Hmm. What's Chagrin Falls,
and what happened there?

Well, it's something that
Alan wants to keep buried.

David, I'm gonna tell you
everything, but not just now.

I've got a lot to get done in a very short
period of time if I'm gonna pull this off.

All right.

Right here, across
from the opening of the mine.

- Looks like there's enough cover to hide your men.
- You're right. Good.

- Did you find Edmunds?
- No. It's too dark to find him.

You don't need to look for Edmunds.
Even if he contacted C. T. U...

they don't have enough time to get
down here before the deal happens.

What makes you so sure
they're not already here?

Didn't Gael tell you
Edmunds came down alone?

Why is she tied up? Bauer said
he's going to buy her cooperation.

Don't worry.
She'll do what she's told.

Ramon, could I speak
to you in private?

What is it?

This is not the plan.
I don't like it.

Hector, I know you are upset about
Claudia, but there's no reason to panic.

I'm not panicking.
I'm being sensible.

This was your deal
in the first place.

And you were against it, remember?
You was right, and I was wrong.

Edmunds escapes,
Claudia is dead...

and now this woman goes
only along at gunpoint.

- It doesn't feel right.
- We don't have a choice.

The buyers are waiting for this deal
to happen because of you.

Ramon, things are not
going as planned.

The plans have changed.

C.T.U., Dessler.

We are following through
with what you have started.

- Hello?
- There are too many risks now.

- "They are unavoidable."
- Ramon, sorry to interrupt...

but if you want this deal
to happen, we've got to go now.

Tony, Jack's on the line.
He's using his cell as a one-way.

Put it on speaker.

Amador's gonna be at the mine
at Posta Mita in about an hour.

It's gonna take us that long to get there
and get your men into position.

Bauer is right. Our men need to be
in place before Amador gets there.

I still haven't signed off on this.

You do what I tell you to do.

Now, call your men and tell them
to be at the village outside the mine.

Damn it! My battery.

Hey, Jack,
where's the other phone?

Got it here.

- It's disconnected.
- All right. They told us what we need to know.

Get the Delta teams into position.
Make sure they set up a quarantine zone...

in case the virus gets
out there in the exchange.

Bauer made it through.

The deal is going down near a mine
just outside of Posta Mita in 55 minutes.

How long until
you're able to mobilize?

We've got the coordinates.
We're moving out now.

- Your men are mobilizing.
- They're bunkering three
kilometers from the strike zone.

- How did you find out where
the exchange is going down?
- Bauer got through to C.T.U.

It's going down in 55 minutes.

You're keeping your men three clicks away?
Not exactly a front-row seat.

I'm keeping them
out of sight.

Then how are you gonna confirm
the package contains the virus?

- I'm sending in a forward observer.
- Picked anyone yet?

- No, not yet.
- I'll do it.

We got people trained
for that, Edmunds.

I'm trained for it too!

Besides, I know
the Salazars, remember?

- Your hand.
- This isn't combat. It's observation.

All right. Cottrell!

Gear this man up
with a surveillance package!

- Get over it, Hector.
- Not until you respect what I have to say.

- The Americans could be hiding anywhere.
- There's no more time to argue.

Stop talking down to me.

Did you already forget the only reason
why you are here is because of me!

- Who got you out of prison?
- Bauer got me out, not you!

And now that I'm out, you take orders
from me, just like you always have.

- Ramon...
- It's over, Hector! No more talking.

We're gonna do the deal now.

Bauer, get her in the car.

You can't control this, Jack.

Just get in the car.

" Hombres, vamonos.

What's the matter?

Please don't cry.
It's okay.

- What did you do to her?
- "l- I didn't do anything to her."

Well, you must've
done something.

Chloe, look.... I promise you.
I didn't do anything to her.

Look, I'm gonna redirect all
my files back down to my desk.

- Fine.
- I'm finished with this.

Jack and Nina are meeting Amador in
53 minutes in a place called Posta Mita.

What about Delta force?

They've established a perimeter
of three kilometers.

- "What the hell is that?"
- Damn it. I told her.

Michelle, will you take care
of this, please.

That's it, Chloe.
You're out of here.

I told you I didn't have
anyone to watch her.

You'll watch her. I gave you a warning.
Now you're suspended.

- It was a verbal warning only.
- Ryan.

- What?
- Jack's meeting Amador in less than an hour.

We have no visual
satellite coverage of that area.

What does that
have to do with this baby?

We're gonna have to use
digitally enhanced audio coverage.

Chloe is the best we have at that.

So you're telling me we have to let this
woman raise her child in our office...

because we don't have anyone
who can do her job?

What I'm telling you is maybe we should deal
with Chloe's child care problems on another day.

Okay, that's a girl.

I have work to do.
Who's gonna look after my child?

- Give her to Kim.
- What?

Based on what C.T.U. Got from Jack,
the meeting'll probably take place here...

by an old mine
at the northern end of town.

My position is gonna be here.

I need you to put your men
behind this ridge...

until we know
that the virus is real.

It's good natural cover.
That'll work.

- How long will it take your
men to get to the old mine?
- Ninety seconds.

- Thank you.
- Good luck.

Where are the rest
of the men?

Felipe brought
everyone he could bring.

- There's not enough!
- It's all right.

- Amador is only bringing one man.
- Or so he says.

Stop making problems
where there are none.

I'm just trying to make
sure we are covered.

You're trying to stop this deal from
happening because you lost your nerve.

- Things are moving too fast.
We haven't had enough time.
- We'll be fine.

- Just because you say we'll be
fine doesn't mean we'll be fine!
- The situation is difficult.

Don't make it worse!
All right?

Or what?

Ramon, if you want this deal to happen,
we have to leave now. We have to be...

at the mine in 20 minutes,
before Amador gets there.

The deal is off!

- Yes? All right.
- Ma'am, they're waiting for you.

Hector, we're not done here.

I've said what I need to say.

Listen to me, Hector.
Listen to me carefully.

If we don't give our buyers
what we promised them...

we won't just lose money,
we'll lose respect.

And without that,
we have nothing.

We'll have our lives.

We're leaving now.

Pablo, Felipe, "vamos."

Now!

Hector, don't do this.

Hector!

Hector! Hector!
