24 (2001–2010): Season 3, Episode 21 - Day 3: 9:00 a.m.-10:00 a.m. - full transcript

Tony works covertly to find a way to get Jane Saunders out of CTU and deliver her to Saunders before Jack and Chase find him. Senator Keeler receives some damaging information on President Palmer from a surprising source.

"Previously on" 24.

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

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.

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 will not give in
to Saunders's latest demand.

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.

- Jane.
- Hi, Dad.



What's wrong? I told you only to use
this number in an emergency.

- Someone is monitoring the call.
- They've got her.

There's a man named Jack Bauer with you,
isn't there? Hand the phone to him.

You know how many vials I have
and what I'm capable of.

You know what I'm capable of too.

Stephen Saunders, this is Jack Bauer.

You're completely surrounded.

The president has refused to capitulate
to any further demands.

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.

I'd like to offer you congratulations
on your wife...

eluding infection
from the virus.

How do you know about my wife?



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

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

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

Send them to the front entrance. Michelle will
be dead if you don't do what I say.

- This is Tony Almeida.
- What are we doing?

Move everyone to the front now.

In your car. Move to the front of
the building. Down! Down!

Fold up! Fall back!

The following takes place
between 9:00 a.m. and 10:00 a.m.

Move the team up.

Stephen Saunders,
this is your final warning.

Come out of the building now.

- Smoke him out.
- Release the tear gas.

We're a go.

Send them in.

Perimeter teams move in. Move in!

All right, boys. Let's go. Let's go!

Get going now! Move!

- Baker!
- Over there.

Why aren't you covering
the south perimeter?

C.T.U. Moved us off our position.
They said you needed us out front.

- What are you talking about?
- They said the sat feed...

showed Saunders moving toward a blind spot
in the front of the building.

- " Clear down there."
- Check the other room.

All teams respond. I repeat, all teams
respond. Any sign of Saunders?

- " Apartment's clear!"
- Jack, we're in.

- Still no sign of him.
- Who gave you that order?

- Tony.
- Move your team back to their mark now. Move.

Move out. Let's go.

C.T.U., Almeida.

Tony, it's Jack. Baker just told me
you pulled his team out of position.

Yeah. I was working off
the information I had.

It was bad information.
You should have cleared it with me.

Somebody in my team made a mistake.
I'm looking into it now.

Tony, that's an unacceptable mistake.
I have tactical command in the field.

If you can't run C.T.U., you better replace
yourself with someone who can.

- Chase, check in.
- Yeah, Jack.

We've covered the entire building.
He's not here.

Damn it!

- Saunders doesn't seem to be in the building.
- What do you mean he's not there?

- He's gotta be in there.
- He's gone. What were you telling Jack about...

- someone in your group making a mistake?
- Never mind, Chloe.

Adam, are you sure we tracked Saunders
to the right building?

Of course we did, Tony. He was in there
when Jack made that phone call.

I'm pulling up the imagery now
to find out what went wrong.

I'll take care of that.
You stay with Chloe, cover the site teams.

- Almeida.
- I hope you covered your tracks...

and purged the incriminating
satellite frames.

I did what you wanted me to.
Now where's my wife?

Not so fast. I like to do things in phases.
You should know that by now.

That was phase one.
Next, we have to talk about my daughter.

- What about her?
- I want her back, of course.

- Yeah, well, I want my wife back.
- Then there should be no problem.

- Where's Jane now?
- She's on her way here.
She should be here in five minutes.

Good. When she gets there,
get the men to guard her...

and make sure they will
follow your orders without question.

If any harm comes to
my daughter, your wife dies.

If Jane is not released
when I order it, your wife dies.

- That's all you need to know. Are we clear?
- " Tony, are you in there?"

- Tony, President Palmer's on the line for you.
- I'll do my part. You do yours.

- "Tony."
- That's the spirit.

- "Tony, are you there?"
- Adam, I'm here.

- Are you okay?
- Yeah, I'm fine. Put the president through.

- Okay. Hang on.
- This is Tony Almeida.

Please hold for the president.

Mr. Almeida, I just heard
you lost Stephen Saunders. Is that true?

Yes, sir. Unfortunately, it is.

I thought C.T.U. was certain
of his location. What happened?

We're looking into it now, sir.

Does Saunders know
we're holding his daughter?

Yes, sir. He does.
And she's obviously very important to him.

Is Jane Saunders with you now?

No. She's on her way here right now, sir.

Mr. Almeida, I don't have to remind you...

how much security we're
gonna need around her today.

She is the only thing
that is standing between us...

and Stephen Saunders
controlling the government.

- Yes, Mr. President. We're aware of that.
- Good.

- Keep me posted.
- Yes, sir. Thank you, sir.

As yet, the Keeler campaign
has not issued a comment.

We now go live with the senator.

Senator. Senator Keeler.

Do you feel this is going to do
serious damage to your campaign?

Absolutely not.
My record on labor speaks for itself.

Remember, I voted against NAFTA, and I favor
tax incentives for domestic manufacturing.

- "What about the other endorsements you lost?"
- Who did he lose?

AFL-CIO and a couple of veteran groups.

- "Why?"
- They're not pleased with his negative spin...

on your withdrawal from the debate.

Now that the threat level's
been raised to red...

people realize you aren't
the one playing politics, he is.

We can't waste time thinking
about the election right now.

The only thing that matters
is stopping Stephen Saunders.

- Would you come with me, please?
Excuse us, Jerry.
- Yes, sir.

We will be scheduling a press conference
shortly, and we'll address all these issues.

Thanks very much. Good day.

No, Adam, he was in the building.

- We found the room he was using.
I wanna know how he got out.
- We're working on it.

- I'll call you when we get something.
- What'd he say?

I don't understand this, Jack.
We pinpointed Saunders's location.

He disappears into thin air. Now C.T.U. says
they're having problems with the satellite.

We'll look into it. Baker, this is Jack.

- I want two teams on patrol,
two more on standby, copy?
- Will do.

- What about us?
- We're going to C.T.U.

- I wanna be with Saunders's
daughter when he calls back.
- All right.

How did Saunders get past us?
We had every exit covered.

Could he have access to
our tracking systems?

- C.T.U. O'Brian.
- Chloe, it's Jack. What are you working on?

We're all trying to pick up
a thread on Saunders.

I'm analyzing his last phone call to you
to see if there's any tell on the carrier.

Is it possible that he wasn't even in the
building? That he was routing his calls?

No. He did that earlier at the apartment.
Now that I have his counterfeit signature...

he wouldn't be able to
do it without our knowing it.

Okay. Get back to me
as soon as you've got anything.

Something's not right here.

- This is C.T. U?
- Yes.

Kim, your father wants you to know that
he and Chase are on their way back.

- With Saunders?
- No.

- "Why not?"
- He wasn't in the building.
They're trying to locate him.

- They haven't captured my father?
- No.

- But he knows you guys have me, right?
- Yes, he does.

- Agent Forrester, Tony Almeida.
- Tony.

We're gonna be putting
Miss Saunders in a holding room.

I was told you were setting up
a white room.

Yeah. That's changed. If you walk her to
the back, security will take her from there.

You'll be fine, okay?

- How are you doing?
- I can't believe that Saunders escaped.

I mean, how could this happen?
I thought that he was surrounded.

It happened. Look, Rae Placheki's
coming here to talk to you.

You're gonna have to answer some questions
about the shooting at the library.

Okay. Look, I heard the news
about Michelle.

- What news?
- That she isn't infected.

Oh, um, yeah.

- I'm glad that she's okay. That's great.
- Yeah. Thanks.

There's no way to be exactly sure.

Some people don't show
symptoms for five or six hours.

Adam.

Didn't they talk to you about your options?

They said they could
give me a pill so l...

so I won't suffer.

- Adam, I need to talk to you now.
- Sarah, hold on.

- I'm talking to my sister now.
- The one who got infected with the virus?

I'm not even going to answer that, Chloe.

I'm sorry. I'll just wait here
until you're done.

- Chloe.
- Adam, I'm sorry. This is really important.

I just need you to finish up
as quickly as you can.

Sarah, I'm gonna have to call you back
as soon as I can, okay?

- Okay.
- I love you.

- I love you too.
- What?

I checked with satellite navigation.
They said they're missing frames...

and they're certain it's on our end.

What about the backup
on the F.G.A. Volume?

Gone. Not only that,
they cover about 20 seconds...

so if Saunders did escape the building,
it was within that exact interval.

- So there was a glitch
at exactly the wrong moment?
- What are the chances of that?

- Not good.
- So I'm thinking Saunders
has access to our system.

- Did you tell Tony yet?
- No. I want more information before I go to him.

But I checked with Field Ops
and all their systems are accounted for.

I need you to do the same in comm.

Do you really think there's someone
inside C.T.U. Working for Saunders?

It's the only thing that makes sense
right now. If you could do that...

- then you could call your sister back.
- Yeah.

- Hey, Pete. I need a few minutes alone.
- "Sure thing."

- How are you doing?
- Why am I being treated
like I've done something wrong?

I apologize for that.
We're just trying to keep you safe.

This is the one place I am not safe.

I've been thinking about it.

You need me to get to my father.

So threatening to kill me or harm me is
the only tool you have to use against him.

Tell me I'm wrong.

You're right.

We need your father to believe
we'll do anything to get him.

But we're not gonna hurt you.
I give you my word.

Your word?

Yeah. My word.

I run this office,
and I will personally protect you.

What about Kim's father? They told her
that he's on his way back here.

- What about him?
- He scares me.

I got the feeling
he's willing to hurt me.

Nobody's gonna hurt you, all right?

I wish I could believe you.

- Almeida.
- Has Jane arrived?

- Yeah.
- Where is she?

- She's here.
- Put her on.

No. You have my wife.
I wanna talk to her first.

- You don't give me orders.
- You're wrong.

I have your daughter,
which means I'm in charge.

Now if you so much as touch my wife,
I will slit Jane's throat.

Hold on.

Sorry for your discomfort.
Hopefully, it's temporary.

Uncuff her.

I'm going to let you
speak to your husband.

Tell him that you're okay and you're being
treated well. Nothing more.

Understood?

- Tony, it's me.
- Michelle.

- He won't let me say much.
- Are you all right?

I'm fine. I'm being treated well.

- Don't let them do this. Don't listen to...
- None of that.

- Michelle?
- Let me speak with my daughter, Mr. Almeida.

It's your father. He wants to talk to you.

- Dad?
- Yes, Jane. It's me.

They're saying horrible things
about you.

That's what they do.
Don't believe any of it.

The virus in the hotel
that's killing all of those people?

You didn't do that?
Please tell me that you didn't do that.

Listen to me, Jane. The U.S. Government
distorts the truth and destroys lives.

Don't listen to any of it. It's all lies.

Then you didn't do it?

I'd never do something
without good cause.

You know that.

- You know...
- That's all. Let's do this.

How long will it take for you to
get her out of the building?

I have to fabricate some clearances.
It's gonna take me 30 to 40 minutes.

Contact me as soon as you clear C.T.U.
Take down this number.

You were right. Someone from Tony's group
purged the frames in the surveillance feed.

- Do you know who?
- It was a no-name log-in.
It could've been here or Division.

- I better tell Tony so he can
lock down the system.
- Okay.

C.T.U. O'Brian.

This is Sunny Macer from Health Services.

Sunny, what can I do for you?

Have you heard from Michelle Dessler
in the last half hour?

No. She was sent to
your office for observation.

That's actually why I'm calling.

We got a message that she asked to be
taken to County instead.

But she's not at County and she's definitely
not here. We can't get a hold of her.

- I'll check on it and get back to you.
- All right. Thanks.

- Davis.
- Davis, get me Mike Redmond.
He's with Michelle Dessler.

All right.

- He's not answering.
- What do you mean he's not answering?

He's active. He has to answer.

- He's not answering.
- Okay. I heard you the first time.

And you're sure about this?

Yes, Tony, of course I'm sure.
There are 79 users in your group...

and one of them's been playing games
with the uplink recording.

All right. Well, uh, we're gonna have to
lock everything down then.

Well, obviously, I agree.
You want me to do it now?

- Yeah.
- Okay.

- What is it?
- Something weird's happening with Michelle.

- What do you mean?
- No one can find her;
Redmond's not answering his pages.

That's because I overrode N.H.S.'s order.
I didn't want them to know about it.

I'm putting Michelle in quarantine in
one of our substations so she can work.

- I need every warm body I can get.
- What am I gonna tell Macer?

- I'll call her. There's something
else I want you to do.
- What is it?

I'm sending you the record of a phone call
between Saunders and myself...

- from a few minutes ago.
- You just spoke to him?

Yeah. I want you to strip away the carrier
signal, see if you use it to find him.

- What about the voice track?
- He's scrambling. It's useless.

- Fine.
- Chloe.

Do it in Tech 1, away from everybody.
I don't want Adam to know about it.

- Why not?
- Well, technically, it's his job.

But you're better at it.

- Why did you just say that?
- Because it's true.

Keeler campaign headquarters.

Damn it, Mark. You assured me going on the
offensive against Palmer was the right thing.

- Now it's backfiring.
- Come on, John. That's not fair.

Palmer walks out of the debate moments after
you brought up the charge against his girlfriend.

Everyone assumed that the whole
national security excuse was just a cover.

Well, apparently it wasn't. The alert level's
at red, and the airports are shut down.

- I know.
- All right.

Palmer still hasn't told the public
any of the details about this threat.

Call Alex in the Pentagon.
See what you can find out about it.

Depending on what it turns out to be, I may
need to be proactive and issue an apology.

Yeah.

Sherry Palmer will be here
in five minutes to talk to the senator.

- What's this about?
- She wants to see the senator
about a high-value proposition.

All right. Hold on.

It's Sherry Palmer.
She wants to come here in five minutes.

- Why?
- She wouldn't say...

except that it's
a high-value proposition...

and she wants to present it
face-to-face.

Set it up.

- All right. The senator will be here.
- I'll let her know.

This should be interesting.

- I'll offload the systems from Field Ops.
- I'll be right up.

- Adam, where's Tony?
- He's with Jane Saunders.

Kim's waiting to be debriefed on
the shooting, and I'm working with N.H.S.

- N.H.S? Why aren't you tracking Saunders?
- Tony put Chloe in charge.

- Well, where's Chloe?
- Tech 1.

- Why isn't she in Field Ops?
- You haven't talked to Tony yet?

- About what?
- Jack, it looks like
someone from Tony's group...

intentionally wiped out those sat frames
from the Saunders surveillance.

- That's how he was able to evade us.
- What?

Adam, N.H.S. wants those coordinates or
they're going to widen the quarantine zone.

Okay. That's all I know, Jack.
I gotta get back on this.

Okay, fine.

- We may be moving you in a few minutes.
- "Where?"

- To Division.
- What's that?

- Yeah?
- "Tony, it's Jack."

I need to speak with you.
Meet me outside the observation room.

Yeah, all right. I'll be right back.

- Jack.
- What the hell is going on?

Adam told me that you think you've got
someone on the inside working with Saunders?

- It hasn't been confirmed yet,
but I have Chloe working on it.
- What's she doing?

Taking a look at the status logs to see
if there's anything out of the ordinary.

Tony, if this is true, we've gotta call Division,
get Spec Ops down here immediately.

I thought about that,
but I don't wanna raise any red flags.

If someone in our group
is working with Saunders...

I don't want them to know
that we're on to them.

Fine. You and I will work this up together,
but I want Division...

to come pick up Jane Saunders
so they can continue questioning her.

- Good idea.
- I'll call Brad Hammond.
I'll meet you in Tech 1.

- We'll go through everything with Chloe.
- Wait, Jack.

Uh, look, I have a 30-minute status call
scheduled with Hammond anyway.

Why don't you let me tell him,
and you can go up to Field Ops.

Okay. Fine.

Adam, is Tony set up for 30-minute
status calls with Brad Hammond?

If he is, it's not in the books.

Thanks.

Thank you very much. John, hello.

How nice to see you. I don't believe you know
Mark Kaner, my campaign manager.

- I don't. Only by reputation.
Pleased to meet you.
- How do you do?

- So, what brings you here?
- Well, um, actually, it's a private matter, John.

- Let us have a minute, Mark.
- No problem.

Please.

I, um... I heard about the endorsements
you lost this morning.

Daily fluctuation.
Doesn't mean a thing.

"Doesn't mean a thing."
That's pretty optimistic, John.

No, your, um...
your campaign is imploding.

By the time the press has a chance to analyze
all the mistakes you made last night...

you'll look like a desperate candidate
gasping his last breath.

Look, Sherry, if you came here
to insult me, I'm rather busy.

No, no. John, on the contrary. Relax.

I, um... I came here because...

I can guarantee you a win in November.

What I'm about to tell you, I will deny
to my grave if you try to hold it against me.

So, that's clear, right?

John, we are clear on that, right?

Good.

David Palmer is an accessory to murder.

- Whose murder?
- Alan Milliken.

- Alan Milliken died of a heart attack.
- He did. But he didn't have to.

His nitroglycerin was just an arm's length
away, but he couldn't get to it...

because someone kept it from him.

Now how could you possibly know that?

Because that someone was me.

Sherry, I think
you had better leave right now.

- Really? So you can watch your
entire career leave with me?
- If what you're saying is true...

- I don't want anything to do with you.
- Oh, come on. Spare me, John.

You haven't gotten this far without getting
a little dirt under your fingernails.

- I don't know what you're talking about.
- No. Of course not.

But, for the sake of conversation,
just allow me to paint you a picture.

- I, uh...
- Please. It won't take but a moment.

Just indulge me.

Very well.

David lied to the chief of police last night
in order to provide an alibi for me.

And I can prove that he lied.

No. You think about that.

Proof that the president
of the United States lied...

- to cover a murder.
- What kind of proof?

Besides my confession? I have
the prescription bottle he was reaching for.

I was holding it,
and I have it in a very safe place.

You are talking about
incriminating yourself.

- You would go to prison.
- Yes, I know that.

But so would David.
David lied to the police...

to save himself.

It's quite simple, John.

All you have to do is go to David,
and tell him that you have this evidence...

this medicine bottle
with my fingerprints on it...

and I guarantee you, David will
drop out of the race.

The party will be thrown into turmoil,
and nobody... I mean nobody...

will be able to touch you come November.

And for all of this?

You'll put me on the White House staff.

Well, nothing so high that it will raise
too many eyebrows, but...

All of this for you to be
a midlevel staffer in my administration?

You and I both know that it would be
a little more than that.

It's been revised now that
the exposure rate has changed.

So you're saying the casualty estimates
have been projected upward?

- Yes, sir. I'm afraid so.
- By a factor of how many?

Now that the virus is out of the hotel
and not completely contained...

it could be as high as times five, sir.

All right. Thanks, Dan. Keep me posted.

- Yes, sir.
- What is it?

I just got off the phone with one of
my sources over at Keeler's headquarters.

Sherry was there,
meeting privately with Keeler.

- When?
- Just now.

- Meeting Keeler about what?
- He didn't know, David.

So I was hoping
you'd have some idea.

I don't know what she's doing,
but we can't worry about that now.

- There are people dying here in Los Angeles.
- Well, I don't like it, David.

So let me put someone on this.

No.

I brought Sherry in to fix a problem,
and look what happened.

Just let it be.
We'll hear soon enough.

What do you see?

They're trying to use
open phone switches to find us.

The phone I called in with is shut off.

They can't triangulate me... can they?

Not quickly, but they can use a trial and
error process, and that could get 'em close.

- That's what they're doing?
- Looks like it.

Then we have to stop them.

Come with me.

Sit down.

Your office is using
our last phone conversation to locate us.

How are they doing it? I'm committed to
getting my daughter back.

You kill me and that'll never happen.

That's not the only option.

You're an attractive woman.

I'm guessing your husband would prefer
you returned without... disfigurement.

I'm not telling you anything.

I have to talk with Almeida.

Keep your conversation short.

- Almeida.
- Let me paint you a picture.

I have a sharp knife, the tip of which is
drawing blood from your wife's face...

right now.

If whatever you're doing to trace these
phone calls doesn't stop in 30 seconds...

she'll be unrecognizable.

- O'Brian.
- Shut down the trace.

Shut it down?
I'm just starting to get something.

- Do it now, Chloe.
- Fine.

- Let me at least see if I can
unscramble the audio.
- I need you to hold off.

This doesn't make sense, Tony.
I thought you wanted me to find Saunders.

I do. Just...
I'll explain it to you later.

- What are you doing?
- I'm trying to pick up a thread on Saunders.

Somebody in my own group
may be working against us.

I have quarantine zones springing up all
over the place. I'm treading water here, Jack.

Why are you lying to me?

- Lying? What are you talking about?
- I just got off with Hammond.

You didn't have a status call scheduled.

I screwed up earlier.

The sat transmission on my system
was forged by my own people.

I should've noticed that it wasn't authentic
before I ordered Baker off his post.

I didn't. By the time I realized
my mistake, it was too late.

- Saunders was gone.
- What about the missing frames?

They must have been deleted by the same person
who forged the sat transmission.

I know this is big, Jack...

and I promise you
I'll offer my resignation when today is over.

- Right now we got too much
going on for me to step down.
- Making a mistake is one thing.

Covering it up is another.
I can't let you stay in place.

- I am taking over command of C.T.U. Now.
- I made a mistake, Jack.

No, Tony. You made two.

Fine.

I'll make sure Adam sends over
everything I got to your group.

Tony, I narrowed down the list.

- What list?
- The list of people on your team
who can't account for...

their time
when the sat frames went missing.

- Oh, yeah. Right. Um...
- Tony, it's very likely...

that someone on this list is working from
within C.T.U. to help Saunders.

Look, Adam, I'm not in charge
of C.T.U. Anymore.

What are you talking about?

Jack and I decided it'd
be best if he took over.

Why don't you send that list
over to him, all right?

- Yes?
- I got a problem.

- What problem?
- Jack Bauer just relieved me of my command.

- Why did he do that?
- He found out I'd deleted
those satellite frames.

- Does he know about our communication?
- No. Not yet.

He thinks I'm just covering my mistake.
He's gonna find out soon.

Then I suggest you get my daughter
out of there before he does.

Look, I might not be able to do this.

- I no longer have any authority at C.T.U.
- You don't need authority.

You just need to know that if you don't
deliver Jane... for whatever reason...

your wife will die,
just like Ryan Chappelle died.

Just like the people at
the Chandler Plaza Hotel died.

I'm gonna try to get her out.
But if I can't...

If you can't, Michelle dies.

Don't call me again
until you have Jane safely away.

- Dad.
- Kim, I need you to
help me with something.

You're gonna have to clear it with Tony.
He wants me to debrief with Rae Placheki...

- about what's going on with Jane Saunders.
- Tony just stepped down.

I'm acting director of C.T.U.
Until further notice.

What do you mean Tony stepped down?

Tony's hiding something from me.
I need you to help me find out what it is.

- Why me?
- 'Cause right now, I don't know who to trust.

I need you to maintain a surveillance
on every station here at C.T.U.

Anyone who checks in or out.
I also want you to track communications...

- that flag higher than a code two.
- Where do you want me to do this?

Field Ops. Come on.

Thanks.

Almeida.

- "Good news, Tony."
- What is it?

I found a way to pull the voice track on
the phone call you had with Saunders.

- Have you listened to it yet?
- No. The algorithm's still running.

Once that's complete, I'll be able to do an
analysis on the ambient sound and room tone.

All right, um, good work.

Adam, I want you to send your
volumes up to Kim's computer.

- I have her checking something for me.
- Okay.

- Is Chloe still in Tech 1?
- As far as I know she is.

- Have her come up to my office.
I need to speak with her.
- Okay, I will, Jack.

Kaufman.

Yeah, Adam. I'm on the line with Chloe.
We need the password to Etudes Four.

Okay.

- "It's B-C-F-1-9."
- All right. Thanks.

Uh, Tony, Jack needs to see Chloe
in his office right away.

- All right. I'll tell her.
- Thank you.

- " Where is she?"
- She's here.

- Put her on.
- "No."

You have my wife.
I want to talk to her first.

You have my wife.
I want to talk to her first.

"You have my wife"?

Hello? Hello?

Damn it.

Help! Somebody help! I'm locked in.

Tech 1. I'm locked in!

Just hold on for a second.
Everybody, can I have your attention?

Just stop working for a second.
I need your attention.

From this point forward,
I am taking command of C. T.U.

That includes Field Ops
and all communications.

Tony Almeida has stepped down.
He is no longer in charge.

I'm taking Jane Saunders to Division.
Here's the order.

I don't have time to go into details, 'cause
we have to focus on finding Stephen Saunders.

Come on, Pete. This is the order right here.
If you don't believe me, call Division.

So unless you are working directly with
N.H.S. In defining the quarantine zones...

I need you to get involved.

Check with your superiors;
they'll hand out your assignments.

We need to find this guy... now.

- We're leaving right now.
- Okay.

We're going out this way here.

Chase, Chloe hasn't refreshed her
Krone tables in over 15 minutes.

- "I thought she was working on the main system?"
- Yeah. She was.

That's weird.

She never forgets to do that.

- What's going on?
- Have you seen Chloe?

- Yeah, she's over in Tech 1.
- Where are all the guards?

We don't need those guards anymore.

Why not? I thought you were worried about
my father sending men to get me.

We have agents on the streets.
Don't worry about it.

- Kim, why can't I get a feed on Tech 1?
- Hang on.

- Someone blocked it.
- We have a hostile inside.

- Override the access code now.
- Security, I need a 20 on Chloe O'Brian.

Priority one sweep of the entire building.

Cover the back entrance.

- Jack...
- Chloe, step away from the computer. Now!

Tony locked me in here.
Saunders has Michelle.

- "He's using her as leverage"
to get his daughter out.
- Don't move.

Security, this is Jack Bauer.
I need a 20 on Tony Almeida.

I repeat, I need a 20 on Tony Almeida.

Negative, Jack.
He's not on any of the monitors.

- When did he lock you in here?
- About 10 minutes ago.

- Have security lock down the entire building.
- "Yes, sir."

Adam, I want every sat
within range trained on us.

I want to know everything that's exiting
this building. Who's watching Jane Saunders?

- Both guards are down. She's gone.
- Tony.

Exit security, I need a 20 on Tony Almeida.

We do not see him.

This is Almeida. We're out. I've got her.

- How long until satellite finds you?
- About 30 minutes.

I'll give you further instructions
in 20 minutes.

Be at the northeast corner
ofTaylor and Vine.

Yeah, right.

- Yes, sir?
- President Palmer.

I need to speak with him... in person.

Son of a bitch.
