24 (2001–2010): Season 3, Episode 12 - Day 3: 12:00 a.m.-1:00 a.m. - full transcript

"Previously on" 24.

- Hello, Sherry.
- David.

Alan's determined to see Wayne removed...

even if it means
destroying my presidency.

You want me to find something
you can use against Alan.

You think you can enlist
your psychopathic ex-wife...

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

You want it to stop,
stay away from my brother.

Jack, I think it's Amador.

I've got the product.
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.

We are following through
with what you have started.

- " There are too many risks now."
- "They are unavoidable."

C.T.U., Dessler.

Ramon, if you want this deal
to happen, we've gotta go now.

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

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

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

- It's disconnected.
- Based on what C.T.U. Got from Jack...

the meeting'll probably
take place here.

My forward position
is gonna be here.

What I need from you is to put
your men behind this ridge...

until we know that the virus is real.

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



Good luck.

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

We have to be at the mine
20 minutes before Amador gets there.

The deal is off!

We're leaving now.

Hector!

The following takes place
between 12:00 a.m. and 1:00 a.m.

- Are your people ready?
- Yeah, they're waiting.

- What about Chloe?
- Yeah, she's there too.

All right.
This is our one chance to get the virus.

- So make sure they're all aware
of what's at stake.
- They're aware.

I'm just saying it's all gonna
come down in the next hour.

- I know, Tony. You don't have
to keep reminding me.
- Yes, I do!

Look, too many things can go wrong here.
We don't need another mistake.

So, um, have we had any communication
from Jack in the last few minutes?

No. He's still with
Nina and the Salazars.

You should have listened to me.

This is my business.
I built it.

And I won't let anyone
destroy it, not even you.

Ramon.

I can't stop the bleeding.
We gotta get him to a hospital.

We can't!
They'll ask questions.

- He'll die if we don't.
- I know.

Ramon.

Ramon, I'm sorry,
but we have to go.

When you are done...

I want him to have a proper burial.

Ramon, you're making a big mistake.
He's setting you up.

He works for C. T.U!
Hector was right.

You should give this up.

That's enough. Don't mention
my brother's name ever!

All right, let's do the deal!
Everybody, back in the cars!

Come on!

Coordinate with C.T.U.
I want updates every half hour.

Yes, sir.

Yes.

David.

I just want you to know
that I'm leaving.

This leverage you have with Milliken...

I told you, David. It's better that
you don't know all the details right now.

All right.

Aaron told me that you refused
a Secret Service escort.

Yes, but that's because
the person I'm going to see...

might scare if
I don't come alone.

Don't worry about me.
I can take care of myself.

I know you can.

- David?
- Mm-hmm?

I still believe in your presidency.

And if Alan Milliken is threatening
your ability to lead this country...

he will be stopped.

Amador's bringing
the virus to this location in 30 minutes.

We have Delta teams bunkered
two minutes away...

ready to intercept the package as soon
as Jack confirms it contains the virus.

- Is Jack's transmitter working yet?
- No, we're using Chase.

He's moving into a forward
covert position to give us confirmation.

He'll be able to transmit sound
both to us and the Delta teams.

- Who's running his comm?
- " I am."

There wasn't any protocol in place,
so I wrote a software bridge.

I'm amplifying the low-frequency
audio signal and relaying it out.

- Okay, good.
- "After that, Chase will let us know..."

when the transaction's complete,
and Jack has the virus.

At which point, our units will move in,
taking full precautions to keep that virus safe.

Ramon, you have to get your men
out of sight before Amador arrives.

I know.
Take Nina and see her inside.

All right, give me the map.

Listen, I want some men
over here and some men over there.

Tell them to keep their eyes open.

Ramon, he's setting you up.

- I can prove it.
- "Luis, espera."

Really? How?

I was at C.T.U. For seven years.
I know their protocols.

I know how they'll play this.

- I'm listening.
- Their attack teams won't be too close.

They'll have at least one man
doing reconnaissance.
I bet he's watching us right now.

And you know where
that man would be?

Straight ahead, there's some high ground.
I bet he's there...

- or 90 degrees to the west, at the tree line.
- We'll know soon enough.

Felipe, Pablo, check it out. And make sure
you make your approach from the sides...

- in case the woman is right.
- I am right.

Vamonos.

- Kim, I need you to go over
these format changes.
- Yeah.

Here, you're gonna need
these files for the repagination.

- "They're not on the hard drive."
- What is that?

It's a baby.

Yeah, I can see that it's a baby, Kim.
Whose baby is it?

- Chloe's.
- "Chloe's?"

- Her babysitter must have had
some sort of emergency...
- Chloe doesn't have a baby.

- Of course she does.
- Uh, no, she doesn't.

I was on the search team
when Chloe got hired.

I did her background checks,
personal histories, medical histories...

- "the whole thing."
- And she's never had a baby?

No. It's definitely not "her" kid.

Felipe, Pablo,
come in with your position.

Ramon, es Felipe.

- " Where are you?"
- "At the tree line."

- There's no one here.
- Pablo, what about you?

Pablo?

Pablo, can you hear me?

They got to him.

- Pablo!
- He's dead, Ramon,
and they're coming for you next.

What's going on?
What did you say to him?

- What did you say to him?
- " Ramon, it's me."

- I'm at the high ground.
- Do you see anything?

No. There's no one here.

All right, good. Hold your position
and keep your eyes open.

Okay.

Drop the walkie.

No more lies from you.

Amador will be here
in 15 minutes.

Confirm that he has the virus, give him
his money, and bring the virus back to us.

You'll have one of my men with you
acting as your bodyguard.

But if you try to escape or communicate
anything to Amador, he will kill you.

If he misses,
there are three men in the hills...

with sniper rifles
aimed at your head.

If you want to live,
make sure this deal happens.

- Understood.
- "Good."

How's Angela?

Adam just told me you're not
the mother of this child.

Who does the baby belong to?

My boyfriend, Eric.

- Eric?
- Binder. His name's Eric Binder.

So why isn't he taking care
of his daughter?

Because it's the first place
his ex-wife would look.

His ex-wife has custody of the baby.
A few weeks ago...

she started seeing this guy
with a drinking problem.

And then Eric found out that this guy
was abusing the baby physically.

So why doesn't the ex-wife
stop the boyfriend?

Apparently,
she's in some kind of denial.

So why doesn't he call
Child Protective Services?

Eric has.

He saw a social worker this morning,
but she couldn't make it out until tomorrow.

- He's afraid by then it'll be too late.
- Wait. He's kidnapping Angela?

Technically, but just for tonight.

Yeah, well, I don't care, Chloe.
Kidnapping is a felony.

You wanna call the police?
Then go ahead and call the police.

But if this child is returned to its mother and
something bad happens, then that's on you.

- So think about that, Kim. Think about it.
- "Chloe."

- Tony needs you.
Chase is transmitting from Posta Mita.
- I'll be there in a minute.

No, he needs you now.

Is there a problem?

- No. No problem.
- Good.

Let me know how much
of her bottle she takes.

- Mr. Kelly?
- Yeah. Come on in.

Have a seat. Go on.

- Drink?
- Um, no, thank you.

We appreciate your help
on this, Mr. Kelly.

"We" meaning you
and the president, right?

I am representing
the president on this, yes.

So, what can I tell you?

You can tell me
what really happened.

What do you think happened?

I think Alan Milliken
was driving the car...

that hit and killed your daughter
12 years ago.

I... I wouldn't know.

You testified that you didn't
see anything, but I think you did.

And I think what you saw
implicates Milliken.

Three weeks after
your daughter's death...

an account was set up
in your name at Maritime Bank...

and a large deposit was made.

That was to keep
your mouth shut, wasn't it?

This is a chance
for you to set everything right.

Yeah.

I saw Milliken
driving the car that night.

Got the license plate
and everything.

But when I told that to the cop...

he takes me aside and he says...

"Your daughter's dead.

"Nothing you can do about that now.

"But if you keep your mouth shut,
there's... there's a payoff.

A big one."

So, I said I didn't see
who killed my daughter.

It was blood money,
and I took it.

Mr. Kelly?

Mr. Kelly, we are gonna have
a press conference...

and you are gonna have a chance
to tell your story to everyone.

- I'm not gonna be doin' this
for nothing, Mrs. Palmer.
- Okay, that's all right.

- "How much money will" it...
- No, I don't want money.

- "I've already made that mistake."
- Okay, okay, I'm sorry. Then what do you want?

My son.

My only living child.

He's doing a prison term...
life sentence.

I want the president
to pardon him.

- What was he convicted for?
- Murder.

He's all I've got.
You get him out of prison...

and-and I'll tell anyone who wants to listen
what really happened that night.

I don't care what Ramon thinks.
I know you're still working with C.T.U.

- I want them there and there.
- You don't know anything.

My interests happen to coincide with
Ramon's at this moment, and he knows it.

You may have convinced everybody else
of that, but I don't believe it.

You keep shooting your mouth off,
you're gonna get yourself killed.

It doesn't matter. Once he gets the virus,
he's gonna kill us both.

Get the rest of the cars out of sight.

Uncuff her.
She needs to get going.

Get the briefcase.

If there's trouble, kill her first.

She's got one of
Salazar's bodyguards with her.

All right. Michelle,
send the teams to their final marks.

Everybody, get set.
This is it.

Myers and Salazar's man are
holding about 300 meters from my location.

- Edmunds is still on point.
- There's been no activity.

Make sure the Delta commander
has his field protocol straight.

- Almeida.
- It's Kim.

I need to talk to you in private.

- Right now?
- Yeah. It's about Chloe.

It's important.

All right. Tech one.

Keep me posted.

You want me to pardon this man's son,
a convicted murderer?

I know I'm asking a lot, David...

but unless you pardon Kelly's son
for that crime, he's not gonna help us.

And how exactly
is he supposed to help us?

Twelve years ago,
Kelly was paid off...

not to come forward
as a witness against Milliken.

- What did he witness?
- Milliken killing his daughter
while driving drunk...

then drove off...
hit-and-run.

Kelly was the only one who saw it.

Then Milliken's people got to him
before the police report was filed.

- And he'll swear to this?
- All you have to do is pardon the son.

His name is Patrick Kelly.

He's already served
four years of a life sentence.

I don't know, Sherry.
I'll have to get back to you on this.

Just hurry, okay?

- What do you think?
- You know what I think.

You shouldn't be involved
in this, David.

Give in to Milliken,
accept my resignation...

- "and he'll back off..."
- I told you.

I am not Milliken's puppet,
and I will not let him dictate my decisions.

Right, but you're gonna let
your ex-wife convince you...

to grant a quid pro quo pardon
to a convicted murderer.

David, she's only been back in your life
for a few hours, and look what's happening.

I would think you'd be in favor
of what she's proposing.

Of you what,
abusing the power of your office?

Absolutely not, David.
Absolutely not. It is wrong.

When you wanted me to pay
hush money to Anne's ex-husband...

that was justified?

The difference is that...

David, I have your best interests at heart.
You know that.

Now, I'm sorry, but Sherry
has her own, and she always has.

Your loyalty,
which I am grateful for...

does not change the fact...

that when someone wants
to get down in the mud...

the only way to fight back
is to get down in it with him.

So you're gonna grant
the pardon?

I don't know what I'm gonna do.

- Okay, Kim, what is it?
- Tony, there's something you need to know...

If this is about Chloe's baby,
I don't have time to deal with this right now.

It's not her baby.

Chloe does not have a baby.

- And, frankly, I think she's delusional.
- What are you talkin' about?

Look, Chloe does not have a child.

I confronted her, and she said that
this was her boyfriend's baby...

and that the mother of this child
was letting her get abused.

But, Tony, I spoke to
Child Protective Services...

- and they said that
there was no abuse claim filed.
- You sure?

Positive.

Have you talked to Chloe
since you found this out?

No. When I confronted her,
she was on the verge of losing it.

Look, this is what I'm worried about.

I think she's unstable.

Kim, I need you
to take a step back here.

My father and Chase's lives
are in her hands.

Yeah, that's exactly why we can't
do anything about this right now.

- What do you mean?
- Chloe is our only lifeline
to what's going on down there.

She's the only one capable of filtering
audio streams that Chase is sending us.

- If Chloe is unstable...
- Look, we don't have an alternative right now.

We have got to keep her in place.

What about the baby?
Whoever her parents are...

they must be going
out of their minds right now.

You're gonna take care
of that baby till this operation is over.

I do not want Chloe distracted.

Hey, I'm not happy about this either.

Let's just hope Chloe holds it together.

We'll deal with the baby
once we get possession of that virus.

Mr. Kelly?

Mr. Kelly?

Mr. Kelly?

Hold on.
I hear something.

It's a car approaching.

Tony, Chase is reporting
a car approaching.

Salazar's men are sitting tight.

- There's no sign of Amador's men
and no other vehicles.
- Chase?

I've got a visual.
Two men inside.

It's Amador and his bodyguard.

Ramon, Amador is arriving.

They're exiting the car.

Amador's got a case in his hand.

- How far is Delta?
- Ninety seconds away.

No one makes a move
until we're sure it's the virus.

- Understood?
- Understood.

Do you have it?

- Yes.
- "Good."

The transfer protocol for the funds
is in place with the bank?

I'll transfer the funds once I verify
the virus. So let's see it.

It looks like
he's gonna give her the virus now.

He's taking a canister from the case.

He's unscrewing the lid.

It should take about five minutes
to confirm it's the virus.

Damn it!
We don't have enough audio filters.

- There's a library on Etudes Three. Should I use it?
- Yeah.

- "Mr. Palmer, this is Tony Almeida."
- Give me an update on things.

The exchange of the virus hasn't happened yet,
but we expect it to go down at any moment.

Tony, the Pentagon is furious at having to play
catch-up, and I sure as hell don't blame them.

Now, this operation began as
a secret between three C.T.U. Agents...

and, again, I will reiterate...

when this is over the president
will hold all three of you accountable.

I understand, sir.

But if you're just calling to reprimand me,
you're doing us both a disservice.

- I need to focus on this operation.
- This operation, how large is it?

We have half a dozen Delta teams
in the area waiting for the signal to go in.

- Will that be sufficient?
- Well, it has to be.

Any more bodies down there,
we run the risk of being spotted.

- Okay, tell me exactly what's gonna happen.
- We don't have time for this.

Tony, you've asked the president
to support you on this, and he has.

You put him way out on a limb here.
Now he wants to know what the plan is.

Michael Amador, the seller...

will hand the virus over
to Nina Myers.

Now, he doesn't know that
Nina Myers is now under our control.

Once the exchange happens, the Delta
teams will move in, secure the virus...

take Nina Myers, Michael Amador
and Ramon Salazar into custody.

Sounds like an awful lot of things
are gonna have to go perfectly.

That's true.

- But we're pretty sure
we have our bases covered, sir.
- Pretty sure isn't good enough.

You make this happen.

Yes, sir.

How much longer?

Chase is watching.
It looks like Nina Myers...

is still testing to confirm
that it is in fact the Cordilla virus.

- Let me know the second
Chase sees any movement.
- I know to do that.

Then do it!

- I put an extra audio filter on your volume.
It might help.
- I don't need it.

- But you asked for it.
- I found a plug-in that worked fine.

- Why didn't you tell me that
instead of wasting my time?
- Leave me alone, Adam!

Tony.

Yeah.

There are some things about Chloe
that concern me.

I know about the baby.
Kim told me.

Are we right to be letting her
run point on this thing?

In the next few minutes, if we make
any mistakes we could lose the virus.

Adam, channel two is floating.
Use the phase loop to lock it down.

It'll be okay.
Just do what she says.

What's the matter?

They changed the access code
to Division again, didn't they?

Yeah. Here.

There.

Thanks.

" Okay, we're on."

The testing device
might be finishing up right now.

- Chase, what's going on?
- It looks like they're
about to get confirmation.

- The signatures match.
- It's the virus.

- I repeat, it is the virus.
- All right, send Delta in.

Delta teams, you have a green light.
Go, go!

I'll take that...
until the funds are in place.

- Transfers.
- Fund transfer locator...

65-1911374.

Waiting to confirm.

Your bank is on the phone
to confirm the transfer of the funds.

- Yes.
- 65-1911374 verified.

- Thank you.
- You're welcome.

Our business is done.

Good luck.

Amador is out of the building. He's left
the case containing the virus with Nina.

They're in the car,
turning around heading north.

- Have a Delta unit pick him up.
- Okay.

Nina's on her way.

- She's carrying the ca... vile.
- What'd he say?

He said he thinks
Nina's leaving with the virus.

What is wrong with this?

- "Chloe, the channel's modulating."
- "I know."

- I'm switching to a sat 9.
- What? In the middle of the meet?

What the hell's goin' on?
All I'm gettin' is static.

- "It'll be fine."
- What are you doing? Switch it back to sat 3.

- No!
- Are you crazy?

Sat 3 is out of range.
I noticed a glitch in its relay software.

I had to switch over. Otherwise,
we would have lost it completely.

Chase, do you copy?

Chase, do you copy?

You should be getting
a clear signal now.

Chase, do you copy?

- "Chase, do you copy?"
- Yeah, I copy.

Nina's still in visual range.
She's headed towards the building.

Delta's 50 seconds away.

Let's go.

Good job.

Ramon, we should go.

No, Jack.
I don't need you anymore.

He's gonna kill him.
Delta team's not gonna get there in time.

- Ramon, we had a deal.
- My brother died because of you.

Because of you! Aah!

Chase!

Chase!

- "Chase, come in!"
- Tony, Delta's here.

I'm movin' in.

Ramon!

Ramon Salazar's on the move with
the virus. Repeat: He has the virus!

He's headed west between the buildings.
Jack is in pursuit.

You two, you're with me! All men
in pursuit, repeat, Salazar has the virus!

- Hello?
- Hello, Julia? It's Sherry Palmer.

I'm sorry to call so late, sweetie.
Are you alone?

Yes. It is very late, Sherry.
Why are you calling?

Because I know what your husband
is doing to David.

- I can't do anything about that.
- No, that's not true.

You mean you don't see any reason
to do anything about it.

- But I'm gonna give you a reason.
- What are you talking about?

I know your situation, Julia.

I know Alan is too controlling
to let you go...

and I know you're not willing
to sacrifice everything to get out.

You're making a lot of assumptions,
and I'm hanging up.

No, I'm telling the truth,
and you know it.

But I can help you, Julia.

I can help you get away from Alan
without having to give everything up.

- This is ridiculous.
- You know me, Julia.

When I say I can make something happen,
you better believe I can.

How would you do this?

- First of all, we need to meet in person.
- "When?"

It has to be now.

I can't leave the house this time of night
without Alan wondering what I'm doing.

Then I'm coming to you.

"Jack, hold your fire."

- Chase?
- Yeah.

- You're all right.
- Yeah, I'm all right.

Our first priority is the virus.
Ramon is our second.

Anybody gets a visual,
standing order is do not fire.

- Are we clear?
- Copy.

I lost him coming down the path,
but if I were him, I'd have headed north.

Headed north, he'll run into the river.

Give the chopper our coordinates.
Tell them to converge on the river.

Send another team back down the path
in case he doubles back.

- Four of you down that path.
I want two of you with me.
- Copy.

- Let's go! Move!
- Ramon is in possession of the virus.

He's headed north of position 453.6.

Roger, 453.6.

This is Air One, Air One.
We have visual confirmed.

It's over, Ramon!

There's nowhere else
for you to go.

I'm not going back to jail!

Put the cylinder down
and we'll talk about it.

Stop, Jack. There's nothing to talk about!

Put the cylinder down!

I don't wanna have to shoot you.
Just put the cylinder down.

- Jack, say the word.
- Not now.

Ramon, I have the authority
to cut a deal.

All we want is the virus.
Just put the cylinder down slowly.

Please, I don't wanna shoot you.

There you go.
Just put it on the ground nice and easy.

Good.

Get down!

- Chase, are you all right?
- Yeah.

Give me your phone.

C.T.U.

This is Jack Bauer.
Patch me through to Almeida now.

- Right away.
- What's going on, Jack?

We do not have the virus.
I repeat: We do not have the virus.

The cylinder Ramon was carrying was rigged
with a bomb. Amador must have switched it.

- Do we have a position on him?
- Delta's on him, Jack. He won't get far.

It must have been Amador's original plan,
which means he has a prearranged escape route.

- Please advise Delta team.
- We're on him, Jack.

Tony, Nina Myers is out there too.

- Any chance she was involved in this?
- No, the bomb was meant for her.

Delta has Amador pinned.
They're two kilometers west of you, Jack.

Copy that. We're moving.
Chase, get your team ready.

Two clicks to the west.
Split the road.

Copy, Delta 3.

Get out of the vehicle, now!

Hands in the air!

Move a muscle, you're dead!

Very slowly, get on the ground!

Do it now!

Go.

Tony, the Delta unit's been taken out.
Amador's escaped.

- Amador's cell phone signal
just went completely dead.
- Jack.

- "Jack, come in."
- Yeah, this is Bauer.

Amador ambushed Delta 3.
I repeat: Amador ambushed Delta 3.

- It was a setup.
- Do you have a position?

Negative. We were tracking him
by his cell phone signal.

- We lost it when the ambush happened.
- What about satellite?

No. There's no visual satellite coverage
of this area at this time, Jack.

Son of a bitch.
Copy that.

Delta 3's been taken out.
They don't have a position on Amador.

- What do you wanna do?
- We gotta find Nina.

Take your team up to the high ground.
I'll cover down here.

Okay.
You guys, point.

I'll flank you.
