24 (2001–2010): Season 3, Episode 20 - Day 3: 8:00 a.m.-9:00 a.m. - full transcript

"Previously on" 24.

You've already been briefed on the Cordilla
virus that is now threatening our cities.

A vial of that virus
has already been released.

We discovered the identity
of the perpetrator.

His name is Stephen Saunders,
and he's a former Ml-6 agent.

In 32 countries across
the Middle East and Asia...

your government employs
intelligence consultants.

They're spies. In 45 minutes,
I want a list of their identities.

If you fail to comply, I will release
two vials of the virus in major cities.

- Looks like Saunders has a daughter.
- A daughter?

We know she's 19 years old.
She goes to school in Santa Barbara.



I was just about to call the Santa Barbara
office to have her picked up.

Tony, that's not the right play.
If you wanna grab her for questioning...

you're gonna have to do it without him knowing,
which means we have to conduct...

a plain-sight swap... switch her out
with one of our own agents.

Okay. Let's see her.
Okay, now remember, Kim.

- "You're not gonna fool anyone"
who knows Jane up close.
- I know.

Clear.

Do you think I'm playing
a game here with you?

Hundreds of thousands of
peoples' lives are on the line.

You have no idea how far I'm willing to go
to acquire your cooperation.

- "Where is your father, Jane?"
- "I don't know!"

- Could you, uh, help me
find something down this aisle?
- Yeah. No problem.

You call for help,
I'll kill you right now.

Kim. Damn it!



Saunders is going to know
we have his daughter.

The following takes place
between 8:00 a.m. and 9:00 a.m.

These are the quarantine zones
that were set up an hour ago. Since then...

two new, symptomatic patients were discovered
at an E.R. In Silver Lake and Hancock Park.

Those two cases engendered
five new quarantine areas.

That's three percent of the city.

If containment isn't total,
it'll grow exponentially.

Right. Uh, thanks, Adam.

We're all tired. I know that. Some of you
have been working for 24 hours straight.

So I don't have to tell you
how serious the situation is.

But we can't drift.

If there ever was a worst-case scenario,
this is it. We're in it.

Everyone has to stay on point.

We've switched from
prevention to containment.

The virus is out.

- " I'll start a workup."
- " Okay."

All the way back,
other side of the road.

- You all right?
- Yeah, I'm fine.

I'm sorry it had to go down like this.

The man I shot, is he dead?

Yeah.

What's gonna happen now?
Saunders is gonna know we haveJane.

- This is Jack.
- Jack, it's Forrester.

The Saunders girl's calmed down.
You can try talking to her again.

Okay. Thanks, Rachel.

We'll see what
we can get from the daughter.

- I understand that, Tony.
- So you'll tell him?

- Yeah. I'll tell him.
- " We should deploy C.D.C."
In underlying areas as well?

- I want every precaution taken.
- I'll get back to you.

Yeah.

- What's going on with Jack Bauer?
- The operation wasn't completely successful.

Now, David, they do have Saunders's daughter,
but they were unable to remain covert.

- So Saunders knows we have her?
- No. Not yet.

But C.T.U. Is estimating
he'll find out within the hour.

- What's Jack's plan?
- Use Saunders's daughter to try to locate him.

David, listen. The deadline for his next demand
is gonna be up in about 15 minutes.

Giving this guy a list of every foreign
operative on our payroll is an act of treason.

I know that, but he'll release
more of the virus if we don't.

So what do you wanna do?

I wanna see what Bauer gets out
of Saunders's daughter first.

You know what just happened?

A man who your father hired to protect you,
just tried to kill one of my agents.

So you killed him, right?

The man that worked for my father.

You're a smart girl, Jane.
Look out in that room.

Everyone here is a federal agent whose job
is to protect the lives of American citizens.

I know how hard it must be
for you to believe everything...

that everybody's been
telling you about your father.

But I'm going to show you some things
that'll change your mind.

The sooner you stop resisting me, the sooner
you can help us start saving lives.

Why are you putting all this on me?

Because you're Stephen Saunders's daughter.

And, unfortunately, you're
the only leverage we have against him.

You can't just say these outrageous things
and expect me to believe you.

I know.

Truth is, l... I knew your father.

I worked with him.

He was a good man.
He was a brave man.

But something's happened to him.

All I care about right now is stopping him
from doing what he's doing.

I can't do that without you.
I need your help.

Palmer still hasn't sent the list yet.

He has 15 more minutes.

C. T.U. Is trying to use I.P. Locators to
get at you through the domain name.

- We're protected though, right?
- Yes. It's a dead end.

Good.

Thank you.

I'm gonna show you
who your father really is.

These photographs
were taken over eight years ago.

Your father told your mother that he was going
to Europe on a fact-finding mission.

The truth is we were both part
of a Special Forces unit...

that was dispatched to Kosovo
to kill a man name Victor Drazen.

This is where the mission ended.
Drazen's hideout.

When I left Kosovo, I believed
your father had died in the blast.

The British government told your mother
that's where he died too.

But recently, we discovered through
phone records that your father...

had contacted you four years ago
to tell you he was still alive.

- Is that right?
- Yes.

A couple of months after my mother died,
I got a call from him.

He said he was living in Europe under an
assumed name, and nobody knew he was alive.

And for his protection, I couldn't tell
anyone that I had spoken to him.

Did he ever tell you why he contacted you
after so many years?

Yes.

He missed me.

I understand that.

Over the last three to four hours,
we've been pulling data from Interpol.

Here are some more recent images.

This is your father with Siad Kolobe...

a known weapons dealer
in the Middle East.

Here he's seen meeting with Ari Consul,
a biologist from Jakarta...

who's spending the rest of
his life in prison for the manufacturing of...

- illegal biological weapons.
- This doesn't prove anything.

He could've been meeting with these people
for any number of reasons.

I'll play you an audio file. One of three that
we got from your father earlier today.

This is your father talking to
the president of the United States.

Working against those countries at
the behest of the American military machine.

In 45 minutes, I want a list of their
identities sent to me by way of a Web site...

If you fail to comply, I will release
two vials of the virus in major cities.

Two more vials of the virus.
He's already released one.

This is a live video feed from
the Chandler Plaza Hotel in Los Angeles...

where your father ordered the release
of one of the vials of the virus...

into the ventilation system of the hotel.

The people you're looking at will be dead
within the next two to three hours.

Almost 800 of them are infected, Jane.

This is how they'll die.

- I don't wanna see any more.
- I don't wanna see any more either.

You can help us stop this, Jane. Please.

Please.

I have a phone number.

He told me to call it day or night
if I ever got in trouble.

- Have you ever used it before?
- No.

We need it.

No! No! It's a mistake!

- No, it's not.
- I'm okay! I don't have any infection!

No! Don't take me in there with
those people! I don't wanna die!

I don't wanna die!

Michelle, I just got a call.
Your lab results are on their way here.

I'm sorry to interrupt, Mr. President.

- What is this, Aaron?
- Our bureau chief just informed me...

that N.H.S. believes
Los Angeles is no longer safe.

We would like to
move you out of the state.

I appreciate your concern.

Tell Chief Kurtzman
I'd rather manage matters from here.

Sir, I'm afraid this isn't a request.

Excuse me?

Secret Service is invoking Section 32.

For your own protection, we are requiring
you to accompany us to Air Force One.

- You're ordering me?
- Yes, sir. It's for your safety.

- Wayne?
- I don't know the specifics of the code...

but it seems Secret Service is invoking it.

And, David, here in L.A.,
the threat is serious.

It's serious everywhere. At least here
we know what we're facing.

Who has to sign off on this, Aaron?

Chief Kurtzman and myself.

I'd like a word
in private with you, Aaron.

Sir, I'm sorry for appearing
to overstep my bounds.

It's my job to protect you.

Listen, Aaron, you've been with me
from the beginning.

You don't have to apologize
for doing your job.

But this crisis will end.

And the people in this city,
in this country...

will be stronger knowing that their president
stood by them shoulder to shoulder.

I'm asking you as a friend
and a fellow citizen, protect me...

but here in Los Angeles.

Can you do that for me?

Yes, sir. For you I can.

- Thank you.
- Yes, sir.

Mr. President,
the conference call is about to begin.

- "Jack, you there?"
- Yeah, I'm on.

- Mr. President?
- Mr. Almeida...

I understand we may have a way to locate
this man, Stephen Saunders.

Yes, sir, we do. However, my
technical staff just informed me...

that to do so properly,
may take 15 minutes, possibly longer.

So there's no way we can get to him
in the next few minutes?

No, sir, there's not.

Okay, gentlemen, time is upon us.

Having considered
all the possible scenarios...

I see no other choice
than to draw our line in the sand.

I will not give in
to Saunders's latest demand.

Mr. President, I hope you understand that
that leaves us with only one option.

That's to use Stephen Saunders's daughter
as a hostage and hope that that'll stop him.

I understand.
All right, gentlemen, get to it.

- " Yes, Mr. President."
- " Yes, sir."

David, are you sure
we're doing the right thing?

The only thing I'm sure of is we cannot let
this country be taken over by this madman.

How do you wanna do this?

How long do we have to
keep him on so we can run a trace?

- About a minute.
- Okay. We need to cover our bases.

We'll use Jane to try and keep him on
the line. If we have to jump in, we will.

All right. I'll initiate the trace,
you tellJane what we need her to do.

I'll get back to you. Damn it.

- What's happening?
- We've run out of time.
We need you to call your father.

- And tell him what?
- Anything. We just want you
to keep him on the line.

- For how long?
- "At least a minute."

- Do you think you can do that?
- I need to think about it.

Jane, we don't have any more time.

Your father just threatened to release more
of the virus in the next few minutes.

- Is the list up yet?
- No.

Well, his time is up.

Hello.

- It's me.
- Yes?

- Release San Francisco.
- I understand.

That's my daughter's line. Ian, wait.

- I'll call you right back.
- All right.

"Find out where this is coming from."

- Jane.
- Yeah.

- Hi, Dad.
- "What's wrong?"

I told you only to
use this number in an emergency.

I wanna see you. I'm scared.

The airports are shut down,
and the news channels are talking about...

- the alert level being raised.
- Just stay where you are, honey.

- You'll be fine.
- Someone is monitoring the call.

Hang on a second, honey.

- You sure?
- Yes, the signal's splitting.

- They've got her.
- "Jack, we just got a hit on the trace route."

- He knows we're on the phone.
- What do I do when he gets back on?

Nothing. You're doing great.
Just keep talking.

- Jane?
- Yes, Dad?

There's a man named Jack Bauer
with you, isn't there?

- What, Dad?
- Hand the phone to him.

- Dad...
- You heard me.

- I'm on the line, Stephen.
- Jack...

you know how many vials I have
and what I am capable of.

You know what I'm capable of too.

- You get a lock on the signal?
- It's dead.
We're negative for passive triangulation.

- Tony, did you get him?
- We're working on it. Adam?

I've got two microwaves. It can give me a
longitude reading, but I don't have the latitude.

Here, try this.

- Adam?
- I'm trying, Tony. I'm working on it.

- Okay, here it is. 21904 Collins.
- Got him, Jack.

- We'll send teams from here.
- Okay. Patch the location through to the chopper.

- We'll be airborne in minutes.
- Get me Chase.

They got a location.
Tell the chopper to come in.

I want you to assemble a team. Take Jane
back to C.T.U. I want her fully protected.

What are you gonna do to my father?

We're gonna stop him.

I want you to go with her.

- We have to make sure that these stats
are updated and sent to C.T.U.
- Okay.

- All right. When you're done with...
- Michelle.

Test results. They just came in.

Thank you.

- Almeida.
- Honey, it's me.

What's goin' on?

I'm okay. I'm not infected.

- Are you sure?
- Yeah. They did a swab and a blood test.

I'm going to be fine.
I'm gonna be fine.

My God. Oh, my God, sweetheart.
That's fantastic.

Look, I want you to get out of there right
now, okay? Away from anybody who's infected.

Uh, no. No. No, sweetheart.

They said that those of us that didn't
come down with the infection...

that we have an immunity to the virus.

Well, where are they taking you?

Downtown to N.H.S.

They wanna keep us
under watch for 18 hours.

But they said it's just a formality.

All right, look. I'll get there
as soon as I can, all right?

No. No. Stay where you are.
They need you at C.T.U.

- "I can work from downtown."
- Honey, you don't have to work.
We can handle it from here.

I wanna help, Tony.

Okay.

- Michelle?
- Yeah?

I can't believe
I almost lost you.

I almost lost you too.

But we're still here.

Yeah.

I have to go. I'll call you from N.H.S.

Hey.

I love you.

I love you so much.

Excuse me, everybody. Can I
have your attention, please?

The president has asked you to this
informal setting without cameras...

or recording devices,
to tell you what relationship, if any...

the outbreak at the Chandler Plaza Hotel
has with the airport closures.

Was the Chandler Plaza the reason
the alert level was raised?

The president will deal with that in his statement.

- So Saunders knows we have his daughter?
- Yeah.

- Found out about five minutes ago.
- How did he react?

He broke off communication. The good news
is C.T.U. has a position on Saunders...

- and they're sending in teams now.
- What's our confidence level?

David, this man knows our system.
Our protocols. He's gonna be tough to corner.

Stay on top of our
emergency response teams.

The abduction of his daughter
may have made things worse.

- The President of the United States.
- Please, be seated.

As you know, this morning
our alert level was raised to red.

We have information regarding a possible
biological attack on American soil.

We have maximized
our preparedness across the nation.

Now the best way for our citizens
to ensure their own safety...

is to stay home.

If you're at work, go home.

That's the message
I hope the media can convey.

Mr. President, we've heard reports that
the local British Intelligence office...

was attacked a couple of hours ago.

- Is that related?
- I can't release any details on that right now.

I'm sorry. Mr. President, the people of the
city of Los Angeles are starting to panic...

and information
is not flowing from this office.

We've had major outbreaks. We've had
quarantines, and now a hint of biological terror...

- "Carol, please."
- No, Jerry. No. The president
has got to be more forthcoming.

It's okay. The president has to be
in control, and so do you.

If you wanna help the public
and do your jobs best...

sit quietly and listen to
what I have to say.

Biological agents do their worst damage...

where large groups of people congregate.

The best defense we have right now...

is to encourage everyone to go home...

and stay home
and await further instructions.

Mr. President,
one more question, please.

Chase, it's Jack. Are you en route?

Yeah. I'm a little more
than 10 minutes out.

Jack, what are the chances
Saunders knows we have his location?

Not likely. Saunders'll think he had
90 seconds more talk time...

before we could ever
lock onto his location.

I want you to move
your teams into position...

and remind local law enforcement
to stay out of sight.

- "We cannot tip him off."
- Done.

Adam, keep an eye on the satellite. Track
anyone coming in and out of that building...

and feed all that information
over to local law enforcement.

- Do you copy?
- I'm watching the data now, Jack.

- Okay. Plug Chloe into it too.
- Yeah.

Listen, everybody this is our time.
Get it right.

- Stephen, we have to leave.
- We're not leaving.

Why not?
You said they probably know our location.

- Not probably, they do.
- I don't understand.

They've got us on satellite.
They'll pick us up if we try to leave now.

- So we sit around here and
wait till they surround us?
- Exactly.

The more bodies they send, the easier
it will be for us to disappear.

No. I'm not waiting around
to get caught.

- Osterlind!
- "I'm leaving, Stephen."

Yeah.

- Has she left yet?
- No.

She will. Stay on her.

- We're gonna need to do this soon.
- Okay.

- Where are we going?
- Los Angeles.

Your father said
there was an outbreak there.

Where we're going, it'll be safe.
Don't worry.

Can I ask you to step back,
please? Behind the line.

- Where in Los Angeles are they taking me?
- A place called C.T.U.

- C.T.U?
- Yeah. Counter Terrorist Unit.

I still can't believe this.

That my father is a terrorist.

Four years ago when I found out
he was alive after all that time...

I was so happy.

I had a father.

I let myself believe
all that he wanted me to.

That he was this wonderful man.

- How often did you see him?
- A couple times a year.

Sometimes he'd surprise me...

and he'd always bring me something.

And it was always perfect... like he knew.

- Maybe he did know.
- What do you mean?

He had people watching you, Jane.

He knew more about your life than
you're probably aware of.

What am I supposed to do
with all these feelings for him?

The person I love doesn't even exist.

What's gonna happen to him?

My dad's gonna try and bring him in.

Adam, it's Jack. What's the status
of Saunders's location?

I'm watching it now, Jack.
No one's left the building.

- Who's working with us?
- L.A.P.D.'s set up a staging
area about a block away.

They've surrounded the area
and are hidden from view.

Okay. Good work. Tell them
I'll be there in a few minutes.

- All right.
- That information's correct.

- You're absolutely sure?
- I checked myself.

Thank you very much.

Code 43. What's the status
of the simulation on X-4?

- Tony, I need to talk to you.
- Yeah. Just a second.

- Why don't you put those
simulations on my system.
- I need to talk to you now.

I'll catch up.
Go ahead. What is it?

I've been working on
the tented quarantine areas, you know?

- And?
- I've been going over the list
of people who've been isolated...

- and I found a familiar name.
- And?

One of them is Sarah Kaufman.

- Who's Sarah Kaufman?
- Adam's sister.

You're sure it's Adam's sister?

Yeah. She tested positive,
in the medical sense. She's gonna die.

All right. Thanks.

- You're not gonna tell him, are you?
- Yeah, I have to.

Well, we still have
a lot of work to do.

How can he concentrate knowing his sister's
gonna die? Did ya ever think about that?

Chloe, I'm getting
real tired of your personality.

- I'm just trying to help.
- You wanna help? Get back to work.

Adam. Would you
come with me for a second?

I'm sitting on these satellite feeds
for Jack. Can it wait?

No, it can't. Chloe will watch it.

Fine. What is it?
Tony, I really have to stay on this.

- It's personal. Come with me.
- Tony, whatever it is, tell me.
Did I do something wrong?

No.

I'm afraid I have
some bad news for you.

Your sister Sarah's in one of
the quarantine zones.

- What?
- You have a sister named Sarah, right?

Yeah. But how can they be sure it's her?
There has to be a hundred Sarah Kaufmans in L.A.

Chloe confirmed it.

Have they kept her away from
the people that are infected?

She's infected.

What are you saying, Tony? Are you
telling me that Sarah's gonna die?

It looks that way. Yeah. I'm sorry.

Oh, my God.

Look, Adam, I'm gonna give you
a chance to talk to your sister.

But then I'm gonna need you to
stay on until the crisis passes.

You think you can do that?

Adam?

'Cause we need you here.

- Yeah.
- All right.

- No other way out?
- No. I'm completely surrounded.

How do you know?

There was a security guard across the street.
He'd make his rounds every 15 minutes.

He missed his last rotation, which means
C.T.U. Has taken over that building.

What are you gonna do?

I'm gonna wait until Bauer gets here.

Baker and his team are running operations
from behind the building.

They'll move when we tell them to.
L.A.P.D. set up a perimeter...

here, here, here and here.

We got SWAT teams moving in this way
and from over here, snipers on the roof.

Nobody goes until we give
the word. Understand?

- What's the situation?
- We've taken over the buildings
on either side of him.

We've got snipers on the roof ready to go.

- Phones?
- We didn't jam the area. You said he'd know.

- What about infrared?
- Can't get through the walls, Jack.

- He knows we're here.
- What makes you say that?

- 'Cause I would.
- "You think he's still in there?"

- Yeah.
- Why wouldn't he try to escape?

I don't know. On my signal, I want you
to move your teams into position.

Minimum three men per exit. Remember, no one
goes into the building till I give the order.

We have to assume Saunders has taken
defensive measures. Everybody ready?

- Yes, sir.
- Let's go.

All teams move into first position.
This is a go. Repeat, this is a go.

- " Position all set."
- Okay. Let's go.

Stephen Saunders, it's Jack Bauer.

You're completely surrounded.

The president has refused to capitulate to
any further demands.

I need to remind you that
we still have your daughter.

Stephen, it's over.

The only way you're getting
out of this thing alive...

is coming through the front door
with your hands on your head.

That's just not exactly true, Jack.

- Adam.
- Not now, Chloe.

I'm running comm
on the Saunders pickup.

I know what you're doing. Robin, take over
Adam's screen for a minute. Come here.

Why? Chloe, this is really not a good time.

- Tony, you need to hear this.
- What?

I have to report some bad news.
Field Ops lost two satellite feeds...

because Adam forgot to
segregate the channels.

- What are you talking about?
- It's true. I checked your system.

- I had to reinitiate everything.
- You touched my system?

Tony, let's face it.
Adam shouldn't be here.

He's under duress because
his sister's gonna die.

- I did not forget to separate those channels, Tony.
- Yes, you did.

Look, we don't have time for this. We have
teams on the ground depending on us.

- Now did you back up the satellite data?
- Yes, I reprogrammed everything.

- We lost about 30 seconds.
- We didn't lose it, Chloe. I can prove it to you now.

I thought that l...

Chloe's right.
I forgot to separate them.

All right, look.
You made a mistake.

But what I need to know is if you can get
through the day without making another one?

Adam?

- I'm fine, Tony.
- Okay.

I want you to know that I don't
agree with Tony's decision.

Since you're gonna stay, I'm gonna
double-check your logs every 10 minutes...

in case you screw up again.

Jack, what do you wanna do?
If he's not in there...

we're wasting a lot of time
we don't have.

Just have the men maintain their position.

- This is Bauer.
- Congratulations, Jack.

- "You found me."
- Stephen, it's over. Come on out.

It would suit me better
if you came in here and got me.

I'd hate to be in the crosshairs of
all those unstable C.T.U. Snipers.

Come out the front door with your hands
on your head. I assure you, you'll be fine.

Eleven more vials, millions dead.

That doesn't affect your nerves a little bit?

The president's made himself clear.
He's not following orders from you anymore.

- I work for him.
- Well, if that's the case...

you won't mind if I take
a few minutes to think things over.

While you're thinking things over...

you might want to take a second
and think about your daughter.

Tony just confirmed that he's in the building.

All teams hold your position.
We got confirmation.

Is it done?

- Yes.
- All right. Stay on the line.

Almeida.

Listen to me very carefully,
Agent Almeida.

- Who is this?
- It's Stephen Saunders.

Before you make any tactical errors,
I'd like to give you an update on the situation.

- I'm listening.
- I need you to move to a private area...

- that has direct comm
with your teams on-site here.
- And why would I do that?

Open a web socket to
I.P. 2-5-7-2-11-16-5...

and you'll find out.

That's I.P. 2-5-7-2-11-16-5.

Just trust me. Do it.

By the way, Tony, I'd like to offer you
congratulations on your wife...

eluding infection from the virus.

How do you know about my wife?

Get on that site.

I don't know exactly what
they're doing to her, Tony...

but I did instruct them to leave her barely
functional so that we can return her to you.

I'll kill you, you son of a bitch.
I'll rip your damn throat out...

- you hear me?
- I'm low on time, so I'm sorry
if I brush past that remark.

Because in 15 seconds, Michelle will be dead
if you don't do what I say.

There are five agents watching
the northeast exit of this building.

Four on the ground, a sniper
on the rooftop next door.

I'm assuming they're
operating as a single unit.

I want you to give them a Code 9,
send them to the front entrance now.

Jack Bauer's running the operation.
I don't have the authority to do that.

No authority? Really?

- "Kevin, is Michelle still conscious?"
- Yes.

Take an eye out.

No! Wait, stop!

Kevin, hold for a second.

- It's gonna take me some time.
- You have 30 seconds.

Jerry, we're talking about mass hysteria
spreading all over the place.

- Now we're not in any position to mobilize...
- "It doesn't matter."

Our position is to let
the public know what is going on.

- This is Baker.
- This is Tony Almeida. Switch to channel three.

Go ahead.

We need you to Code 9 your team.

I want you to use a controlled channel
in case Saunders is listening.

- What are we doing?
- Move everyone to the front now.

I've been monitoring all channels.
There's nothing going on in the front.

We just got a new sat feed
that Jack doesn't have yet.

Looks like Saunders is
on the move in a blind spot.

Roger that. Four C.T.U. Personnel
diverting to new mark.

No, Baker. Negative. Not just
C.T.U. Personnel, everyone.

Police control included.
Get there now!

Team 4, we have a Code 9.
Repeat, Code 9.

Everyone to the front of the building now!
Move to the front of the building.

Down! Down!
