Jack and Ramon are captured by dangerous prison inmates after trying to escape. President Palmer begins his debate with Senator Keeler. At CTU, Chloe O'Brian discovers evidence of Jack's heroin addiction.

"Previously on" 24.

- What's wrong?
- Keeler.

He's bringing your ex-husband into this debate.
The S.E.C. 's investigation into his company.

Then face Keeler's lie with the truth and trust
the people will be able to tell the difference.

Jack, what's going on?
Where's Tony?

- " He's been shot."
- "How bad?"

He was hit in the neck. He's still alive.
They're getting him to the hospital.

With Tony down,
you're in command.

Deliver Ramon Salazar to the Van Nuys Dam.

Whoever sent this message is
controlling Kyle Singer's movements.

We have two hours to find him
before they release the virus.



- " What are you into, Kyle?"
- "These cops came to my apartment..."

and they were sayin'somethin'about usin'me
to bring some weird disease into the country.

A disease?

Go! Run! Do it!

- Kyle! Stop!
- No!

- You going to see Salazar?
- Yeah.

- " My dad said"
questioning him is a waste of time.
- "No. Sitting here is a waste."

- Kim, I need you to generate
a prisoner transfer document.
- What's this about?

I need to move Ramon Salazar,
and this has top-priority clearance.

- No one at C.T.U. Is supposed to know.
- Either I hand over Salazar...

or his brother
will release the virus.

I understand that this is an impossible
choice. I have another option for you.

Ramon Salazar would be broken
out of prison and delivered to him.

Sounds like quite a plan, Jack,
but who'll break Salazar out?



I will, sir.
This would be my last assignment.

- If you play this cool, Ramon,
you're walkin' out with me.
- " Code four."

- "We have full lockdown. Code four."
- "Open the cell blocks now."

Move!

The following takes place
between 5:00 p.m. and 6:00 p.m.

Good evening to those of you
on the East Coast, and good afternoon...

to those of you in the West.

Welcome to the first of three debates
between President David Palmer...

and Senator John Keeler.

We'll begin tonight with a
two-minute opening statement...

followed by the first question,
which will go to President David Palmer.

This was decided by a coin flip
backstage just moments ago.

How you feeling?

- Is that a medical question or a personal one?
- Both.

- I'm fine.
- It'll be conducted within the formats and rules...

agreed to by each member of the debate
and by the two campaigns.

Now we'll bring
to the stage the candidates.

Ladies and gentlemen, Senator John Keeler.

David, I'm sorry you have
to deal with my ex-husband's lies.

It's all right.
We have the truth on our side.

Ladies and gentlemen,
President David Palmer.

Hello, John.
Good luck to you.

Ladies and gentlemen,
Senator Keeler, good evening.

I'm looking forward to discussing some
of the critical issues...

facing our country.

Against the wall.

Give me your hands.
Okay.

When I tell you to, you start
fighting with me over the gun.

I gotta try and pull two guards
off the main corridor. There.

Okay. They're comin'.

Help! Help! Help!

- No!
- Get off!

That's enough!

Put on his uniform
and helmet now.

Personnel, inside yard...

you're still code four...
code four.

We've got men
on the floor, "D" and "J" Blocks.

Split up your men. I want
a team at every security breach.

No. Jack and Salazar are somewhere
in east block. You need to put your men there.

- I gotta control this prison.
Your partner's not my only problem.
- Today he is.

He and Salazar need to be contained,
and they need to be kept alive.

Want me to redeploy my men? Then I need
to know how real this terrorist threat is.

Come here.

We put in the request
"about," uh...

Ramon Salazar's brother
will spread a deadly virus...

into the population
unless we release him unharmed.

If we don't, the death toll
will be in the hundreds of thousands.

" Med team's on alert."
Med team's on alert.

This is Warden Mitchell.
Tactical unit five report to control center.

You are now under the command
of Agent Edmunds.

Thank you. Yeah?

Chase, it's Michelle.
What the hell's going on over there?

Jack tried to break Salazar out of prison.
He started a riot.

- What?
- I think in his own twisted way...

he thinks he's gonna deliver him
to Hector and stop the virus.

Well, he's gonna get himself killed,
not to mention Salazar.

I know. I know. I'm tryin'
to protect him. What about Kyle Singer?

- We're getting close to locating him.
- As soon as you do, call me.

If Jack knows we got the carrier
of the virus, he'll give Salazar back.

- We've got everyone working
on it, Chase. We'll find him.
- "Okay."

? Negro?

I'm sorry, Linda.

Linda?

Am I gonna die?

It depends.

If they find us in time.

What do you mean?

The guy from the government, he told my dad
that I had a couple more hours...

before l...
before I become contagious.

Maybe they'll find us by then.

You'll be okay.

Yeah. Maybe.

- What are you doing?
- "There must be some wires in here."

What do you need wire for?

Get you out of this.

Adam, look at this. Got it
from a Caltrans server.

Traffic camera
right near the mall.

Look at that. It's a blue shirt.
Isn't that what Kyle Singer was wearing?

Yeah. I think there's enough to enhance.
Release it to my screen.

- Got it.
- Kim.

- Yes?
- I need you a second.

- You got this?
- Yeah.

All right.

- Is something wrong?
- You haven't been following
what's going on at the prison?

No. Adam and I have been working
on finding Singer. Why? What is it?

- Your dad's trying to break out Salazar.
- What?

Yeah. He's not out yet,
but he's acting on his own authority.

- He's trying to remove Salazar by force.
- I don't understand.

Looks like he started a prison riot
to cover the escape.

- Why is he doing this?
- That's what we're trying to figure out.

- When's the last time you heard from him?
- About a half hour ago.

He asked me to issue a transfer order...
for Ramon Salazar...

and he gave me a password.

- And you did it?
- Yeah. He said that Salazar needed to be moved.

But now you're telling me
this isn't true?

No, Kim. I'm sorry.
Your dad lied to you.

Why would he do that?

Because he knew if he asked anybody else,
they would know he was violating protocol.

- What's gonna happen to him?
- We're gonna try to find him.

The best way out of this whole situation
is to find Kyle Singer.

Then your dad'll give up Salazar.
So go back to work. Help Adam.

Yeah. Sure.

We're clear.

They're gonna funnel all forces through
one entrance to keep the personnel count.

- There must be another way, Jack.
- There is, but the prisoners are taking control.

We're gonna have to fight our way through them.

Get ready.

Pick 'em up! Come on!
Come on! Get 'em on their feet!

" Come on! Let's go! Let's go!"

Move it! Move it! Let's go!

Hold your fire!
We got hostages, so back off!

Hold your fire!

- Come on, man.
We can make it to the laundry room!
- Let's go!

Move! Let's go!

Go!

Move it! Move it!

And in order to do this,
our reserves must be kept...

and our fossil fuels
must be conserved.

- Kim, did you send me that Kalman filter?
- What?

The Kalman filter?
I need it to clean up that image.

Oh, shoot. I forgot about it.
It's in my outbox.

- How can you forget it?
It's the only thing you're workin' on.
- I'm sorry. Look.

- I'm sending it to you right now. Done.
- Kim, I don't know...

where your head is, but we need to
find Kyle Singer before he's contagious.

- Relax. I'm doing the best I can.
- "The best I can"isn't what we do around here."

- It's either done or it's not.
- So why are you lecturing me? It's in your system.

- Kaufman.
- Is there a problem?

I just need to make sure things
are running smoothly around here.

Look, Adam, I haven't had a chance
to brief you, but...

Jack's created a situation
over at the prison.

- What kind of situation?
- He started a riot to free Salazar.

- Now they're caught up in the middle of it.
- Whoa.

He even used Kim to create a transfer order
that started the whole thing...

so cut her a little slack.

Um, yeah, okay.
I understand.

We're all under a lot of pressure here,
so let's just find Kyle before it's too late.

Yeah. Okay.
Thanks, Michelle.

Kyle, what are you doing?

There's no way
out of here.

You don't deserve
what happened. I do.

If I die, the virus
is dying with me.

"Kyle! Kyle!"

"Put your feet on here!"

Kyle!

Kyle, hold on.

Oh, Kyle.

A "welcome home" party?

- You shouldn't be doing this.
- What are you talking about?

You've been running things.

Show Ramon
you're going to be his partner...

not his caterer.

Why do you care? You don't want
to be involved in my business.

No, "papi."
I care about you...

and I want you
to get what you've earned.

- Yes?
- It's me. Riot's still going on.

- But we know Ramon's alive.
- Yeah, but Bauer's gotta get him out soon.

C.T.U.'s getting close to finding Kyle Singer,
and if they do, they'll never let Ramon go.

Then make sure
they don't find Singer.

- I'm working on it.
- Get it done.

That's him.
That's Singer.

Is that a gun?

Yeah. Someone's got him.

We're not gonna be able to get
the truck's license plate from this shot.

I'll get access to the traffic cameras
in the direction they're heading...

see if we can find them again.

Dessler.

Michelle, we found Kyle Singer being
driven away from the mall, 47 minutes ago.

- You working up a vehicle I. D?
- "We will as soon as we're able"
to get another visual.

This camera's damaged,
but functional.

They must have the hostages on the right.
Try and pan the camera over.

- They may see the camera move.
- "We don't have a choice. Do it."

There they are.

We gotta get in there before
they start killin' everyone.

- Come on.
- Come on! Faster! Faster!

Let's start wastin' the guards
unless they let us walk.

First step outside... bam...
head shot from a sniper!

- You don't know that.
- I know it, 'cause that's what went down in Chino.

They'll let the guards get wasted,
'cause all they care about is keepin' us in.

What the hell are we
doin'here then?

Give me your gun.
Bring 'em over here.

We're gonna have a little fun with 'em.

- Put 'em on their knees.
- Get down.

Who wants to live?

- Okay!
- " Do 'em all, Peel. Do 'em all."

Let's try it again.

- Who wants to live?
- "Me. I do."

Him. Over here.
Come on.

Who else?

I never seen you before.

I'm new here.

Him. Over here.

One-in-six chance.

You're first.

Please.
Don't make me do this, man.

There's nothin' to it, you little bitch.
Just put the gun to your head.

I can't. I can't.

You're gonna do it, you hear me?
You're gonna do it.

- Please. Please.
- It's easy. See?

All you gotta do is smile...

And pull the trigger.

Now it's one in five.

Let's go!

No! No!

I can't. I can't.

- This is a waste of my time. Shoot him! Shoot him!
- No! Wait! Wait!

Come on, man.
Just do it.

This way at least
you got a chance, okay? Do it.

Come on.

You're gonna do it...
or we will.

We have a winner.

Let's hear it for the new guy.

We're now seeing concrete results.

This is a road we will
continue to travel.

I got a shot coming in from a camera
at the next intersection.

- "Definitely the same truck."
- Can you read the license plate?

We won't be able to read anything
until it finishes downloading.

I just saw the I.A.D. Inquiry
come in over the system...

about what your father's
doing at the prison.

They're questioning the transfer order
you generated for him.

- I heard.
- If you want me to say...

that you didn't know he was gonna use it
to break out Salazar, I will.

Thanks. I'll be okay.

Hold on. It stopped downloading.
I'm getting an error message.

Error 402. That... means trouble...

with an internal router.

Gael, what are you doing?

There's a problem with one
of the routers. I'm tryin' to fix it.

- Why don't you call a tech?
- No, it's okay. I think I found the problem.

Protection circuit kicked in.
Must have been a line surge.

Should be up and running now.

- Let me know if you have any more problems.
- I will.

- Hey, it's back up. What was it?
- I'm not sure.

Is it possible a line surge
could've knocked out a router?

Not from my side.
You could ask Chloe.

Got it.

Hold on. Dessler.

- I've got a plate on the pickup.
- Where do you last have it?

The shot's from the north quadrant at
Santa Fe Springs. It was driving west.

Okay. Put this out to mobile units, L.A.P.D.
I want everyone looking for this vehicle.

- Okay. Right.
- All right, Ryan. I'm back.

So do you have any idea if Bauer
is trying to break out Salazar on his own...

or if he's working
with someone?

I'm trying to figure that out now.
I'll get back to you when I find out.

You do that.

- Chloe.
- Yeah, Michelle?

- You following what's going on at the prison?
- I just saw the update.

- "What the hell's happening?"
- We don't have all the details yet,
but Jack's behind it.

I need you to check
his phone logs, e-mail...

see what case files
he's accessed recently.

- What am I looking for?
- Anything that'll help us figure why he's doing this.

Are you sure you really
want me snooping in his office?

Yes.

You got it.

- Surgery.
- Yeah. This is Tony Almeida's wife, Michelle.

- How's he doing?
- I'll check. One moment, please.

Mrs. Almeida?

- Yeah.
- He's still in surgery.

You'll be contacted
as soon as he's rolled into recovery.

- Oh, wh-what room is he in?
- Um, operating room four.

- Thank you.
- You're welcome.

- Network Ops. Evan.
- Yeah, Evan. It's Michelle.

Do you know if we get O.R. Feeds
from Good Samaritan?

Let me check.

Uh, yeah, they do.
What do ya need?

- See if they're "video-docing" O.R. Four.
- Yeah, they are.

- Where do you want it?
- Send it to my desktop.

All right.
It'll take a second.

- There you go. Anything else?
- No. Thank you.

Sure.

- Four by four.
- More pressure.

- Can you hold that down?
- I've got it.

There you go.

- And another clamp.
- Clamp.

The laundry room's a hundred yards in.

I'll I.D. The exact location
for the explosives once we get there.

Your weapon, sir.

- " Sir, we're ready for you."
- Check video feed.

Copy that. Here we go.

It's on. Monitor's up.

You should be seeing it
on your eyepiece.

- It's working.
- Okay.

All right. Let's go.
Radio silence while we're in there.

- If they hear us, they might kill everyone.
- " Copy that, sir."

Let's go.

All right!
Round two!

Yeah!

- And you.
- I'm a prisoner, not a guard.

Ramon Salazar. I'm sure you've heard of me.

You should pick someone else.
He's telling you the truth.

He was just transferred
to the cell block less than a week ago.

I'm a federal agent.
I was escorting him out of the prison.

That's why you've never
seen us here before.

Good.
A federal agent.

- What's your name?
- Jack Bauer.

All right!
It's gonna be Agent Jack...

- against Ramon Salazar.
- " All right."

" A battle to the finish!"

Come on, Jack.
Show this foreigner how it's done.

- " What's it gonna be?"
- " Let's go."

All right.

Let's go, my Latin brother.

- If I die, my brother will find you.
- Shut up and do it!

- Do it! Do it!
- Do it! Do it! Do it! Do it!

Do it! Do it! Do it!
Do it! Do it! Do it! Do it!

Do it! Do it! Do it!
Do it! Do it! Do it!

All right. You're up.

Looks like
you might lose the title, Jack.

Do it! Do it! Do it! Do it! Do it! Do it!

Do it! Do it! Do it!
Do it! Do it! Do it!

Do it! Do it! Do it!
Do it! Do it! Do it!

Ramon, stay down!

Go! Go!

Get back in there!
Come on!

Move, come on!

"Got ya! Got ya!"

All clear. Hold your fire.

Jack?

Jack!

Senator Keeler would
have you believe...

that I have no triumphs,
only defeats...

God.

- Lab.
- This is Chloe O'Brian. I'm in Jack's office.

- Could you send someone up
with a drug kit, please?
- On its way.

The differences
on the issues are clear...

but I believe you don't
elect the platform.

You elect the man.

And I am frankly troubled
by some of the personal choices...

that this president has made
and continues to make.

We're all aware
of the allegations...

and indictments surrounding
the president's former wife.

Most of us have operated under
the assumption that the president would not...

repeat his history of associating with
persons of questionable moral character.

However, my office
has just learned that the woman...

with whom the president
is currently involved...

Dr. Anne Packard, is being accused
of helping to fabricate the results...

of a clinical drug trial, a drug...

which later led to the deaths
of three innocent people.

This is outrageous. This debate is not
a court of law, nor is it a tabloid paper.

This is neither the time nor the place to
launch a personal attack on a private citizen.

Mr. President, the senator
still has 30 more seconds, sir, please.

This is exactly the right time, because I
believe the choices your leaders make...

in their own lives reflect the choices
that they will make on your behalf.

And so the question remains.

Did the president know of these accusations
and choose to ignore them...

or is he repeating past mistakes
once again?

Mr. President, your rebuttal.

I can tell you
with complete confidence...

that the senator's accusation
is false...

and that I believe it is the senator's way
of avoiding the issues at hand.

Now, I came here tonight to discuss
the real issues pressing our country.

- Oh, God.
- Now do you get it?

I do not believe this is something
to be swept under the rug and forgotten.

It's positive.

I'll go tell Michelle.

Chloe, what are you doing
in my dad's office?

- Michelle wanted me
to go through your dad's stuff.
- Why?

To find anything that could help us
understand what he's doing.

- "What's up?"
- I wanted to know if a line surge...

could shut down a router
on your side of the I.T.S. Room.

No. My circuit protectors
are upstairs, not in I.T.S. Why?

Oh, it's probably
nothing. Hmm.

- Did you find anything?
- I can't talk about this.

Why not?
Maybe I could help.

You can't help,
so just go, okay?

- What's in the box?
- Just stuff I'm taking to Michelle.

This is really
inappropriate behavior, Kim.

Why are you doing this, Chloe?
I mean, I'm just trying to help you.

You can't help, and I don't have to have
this conversation. Under Field Op mandate...

there's a regulation... I believe it's 40 or 41...
that says I have jurisdictional prerogative.

- So could you just leave?
- Not until you tell me what's in the box.

- I think your dad's been usin' drugs.
- What?

That's right.

Rubber tourniquet.
Syringe.

We just had the vials
tested for opiates. It was positive.

And he's been
acting really weird, okay?

It's really not fair that you made me
do this. This is very uncomfortable.

Michelle?

I didn't find anything in Jack's records,
but there's something you need to see.

- You found this in his office?
- I wanted to make sure what
it was before I showed you.

The liquid in these vials tested positive
for opiates. Probably heroin.

I think Jack's a user.

" I got it."

A patrol car just found the truck Kyle Singer
was in parked in an industrial complex...

at Fuller and Fourth,
2000 block.

Pipe this into the teams
on standby.

Assume everyone on site is contagious
and use level one C.D.C. Protocol.

- Let's get 'im!
- Level one. Let's go.

Damn. Is there
any other way out?

- No. We're penned in.
- You must have known this could happen.

What's the plan, Jack?

Give me the shotgun.

Give me the shotgun.

Take off your uniform.

I have worked the past year with
my administration on my overall economic plan.

The projections
could not look better.

- Dessler.
- This is Cal Gil. We're approaching
the industrial complex on Fuller.

There are three warehouses
on the property.

- I'll see if we can narrow it down with infrared.
- Roger.

Kaufman.

Adam, see if you can pull up
infrared satellite on the industrial complex.

On it. Kim, log on
to the N.H.S. Server.

We need to see if they
have any satellites in position.

- "Kim?"
- Okay.

- What's the matter?
- Nothing. I'm fine.

We got three of'em.

We just swept the east block.
There's no sign of Jack or Salazar.

I got a team in the cell block. They can't
do a proper search until we lock it down.

That could take
up to a half hour.

If you wanna get out of this thing,
you're gonna have to trust me...

and do everything that I tell you.

- You understand?
- All right.

- Come on. Let's go.
- Okay. I want you to take that chopper...

and I want you
to sweep the perimeter.

- " Chase!"
- Get a shot. Get a shot.

- What are you doin', Jack?
- Get these people to move back... or take me out.

- We need that chopper.
- Don't do this. I just spoke with Michelle.

- We're close to getting Kyle Singer.
- Close ain't gonna cut it!

- I gotta deliver Salazar now!
- "I'm not letting you go, Jack."

How long's it gonna take you
to find Kyle Singer?

A half an hour? An hour? I gotta
get Salazar in the air, in that chopper...

in the next 60 seconds,
or 100,000 people will die.

- Let him go.
- Let him go?

Let him go. We'll track the chopper. I need you
to keep your people under control, Warden.

Please. I can't
have anything happen to Salazar.

All right.

This is Warden Mitchell. I want all teams
to stand down. I repeat: Stand down.

- Hold fire. Lower your weapons.
- Agent Bauer will be taking Salazar
to the SWAT chopper.

I want a confirmation from all teams
on the stand down order.

- Let him take the chopper.
- " Stand down."
- " Standing down."

- Stand down.
- " Standing down."

- All right? Back off.
- " No shot."

All right, Jack.
No one's gonna try and stop you.

Get these men to back off
and holster their weapons!

- Back off! Stand down! Back off!
- "Let 'em through!"

Move slow.

- Get the door! Holster their weapons!
- " Holster your weapons!"

- Lower your weapons!
- Stand down!

Get the snipers down
off the roof now!

- "Now!"
- Off the roof! Get off the roof! Back off!

Do what he says!

We have Singer plus one.
Central, we have Singer plus one.

- What's he doing?
- He's disabled the comm and the locator.

- Yeah?
- Chase, it's Michelle. We have Kyle Singer.

- I can't hear you!
- We found Kyle Singer!

- They found Kyle?
- Yes.

Jack! Jack,
we found Kyle Singer!

Jack! Jack! Jack!

Jack!

We can talk about facts
and figures all night, Mr. President.

Once again, I see this as a question
of judgment and integrity.

To ignore this issue...

an issue of rectitude
and foresight...

Congratulations. Now you are an even
bigger enemy to your country than I am.
