24 (2001–2010): Season 3, Episode 7 - Day 3: 7:00 p.m.-8:00 p.m. - full transcript

Ramon holds Jack hostage as they fly down to Mexico. Regional Director Chappelle interrogates Gael; Tony returns prematurely to CTU to reveal Gael's true allegiance. Chase disobeys orders and heads for Mexico to rescue Jack.

Previously on 24.

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.

We got hit hard. Voters who were on the fence
may have just fallen into Keeler's camp.

That is ridiculous.
Once they find out that Ted was lying and...

And how are they supposed to do that, Anne?
It's he said, she said.

See, this is politics. It's not medicine.
So do me a favor and stay out of it.

I'm taking over for Tony.
Give me an update.

We're trying to make
contact with the chopper.

Now that we have Kyle Singer
and the virus has been contained...



we need to contact Jack, let him know that
the attempted escape of Salazar is pointless.

Salazar's terrorist connections
are a serious threat to this country.

- Both Salazar and Bauer are expendable.
- What's going on, Chase?

Your dad got out of the chopper
before I could tell him about Kyle Singer.

He and Salazar are on the run.
The only thing that matters right now...

is getting word to him that
the virus has been contained.

That way he'll turn Salazar over.

Your brother gave the F.B.I.
Contact instructions in his last call.

He's got a plane circling
waiting to pick you up.

You really are the best, Jack.

What the hell's going on?

You didn't think I was gonna let you
just deliver me and leave, did you?

Ramon...

Adam!



Adam, there's something
seriously wrong...

I just remembered.
I forgot to close that file.

The following takes place
between 7:00 p.m. and 8:00 p.m.

- Gael, what are you doing? Let me go!
- I'm sorry, Kim.

You shouldn't have
walked into this.

Calm down. I have to ask you
a few questions, okay?

Now this room is soundproof. So if you scream,
it won't do anything but make me mad.

And you don't want to do that.

So we're gonna be all right here?

What are you doing to my father?

I'll ask the questions, huh?

Now, you came in here to bring
the logs back up to date.

When do they expect you to finish?

- Don't make me ask you twice.
- I don't know, 10 minutes.

And after that,
what are you working on?

- Just utility work.
- Good.

What do you think you're doing?
This isn't gonna work...

- Adam?
- Yeah?

I don't know if you've gotten word,
but Tony's out of surgery.

I'm trying to head over
there in a few minutes.

- Well, who's gonna be in charge
when you're gone?
- Gael.

I want you to unmount all my directories
and transfer them over to his system, okay?

- Sure.
- Anything new on Jack?

No. Our last location on him was
the downtown subway station and
Chase lost his trail after that.

- Have we contacted L.A.P.D?
- Yeah. They're all over it. So is local F.B.I.

- Great.
- But I think we're going
about this the wrong way.

Jack broke Salazar out of jail
because he thought it was the
only way to stop the bio-threat.

But now that we have Kyle Singer,
there is no threat.

We should just saturate the media
and maybe Jack will get the message.

The president made it clear. He does not want
the public to know about the bio-threat...

not at this point.

- We have to find Jack and Salazar ourselves.
- Yeah.

- Dessler.
- Michelle, it's me.

Gael, why aren't you in the teleconference
room? The briefing's about to begin.

Yeah, well, Kim bumped into some
embedded no-ops in the log files.

- It'll take a few minutes.
- She can handle that.

I'm trying to head
over to the hospital.

I need you up to speed,
so you can take over for me.

- On my way.
- Thank you.

I'm watching you.
So don't try anything.

All right?

- Transfer all blue alert key codes to Gael.
- Anything else?

That's it. Thanks.

There is no longer an outbreak threat
for the city of Los Angeles.

Kyle Singer, who was being
held by Salazar's people...

was not carrying the Cordilla virus
and turns out to be perfectly healthy.

But we do know Salazar's
organization has the virus...

which means finding Ramon Salazar
is our top priority.

Thank you for joining us, Gael.

- If you're taking over for Michelle, be on time.
- Sorry.

I was just saying
from this moment on...

we are focused on one thing only
and that's finding Ramon Salazar.

- "Adam, where are we on that?"
- After Jack and Ramon ditched the
chopper, we lost their trail.

- For all we know, they're still in L.A.
- They won't be for long.

We suspect they're heading
for the Mexican border.

We've contacted the Mexican government,
as well as the Central American allies.

We're asking them to monitor
all air corridors.

- What about Chase Edmunds?
- I'm assuming that he's coming back here.

Don't assume anything.

"Ramon, have a drink. You're a free man."

Thank you.

Ramon!

Hello, Jack.

The party's going well.
I wanted you to know.

There's something else
I want you to know.

For some reason,
Hector wants you alive.

Maybe he wants to kill you himself
or maybe he wants to watch me do it.

I'm just not sure
I can wait that long.

Ramon, let's get back to the party.

Come on, the girls.
Sandra is waiting.

- Yeah?
- Chase, this is Ryan Chappelle.
What are you doing?

- I'm trying to find Jack.
- So is the rest of C.T.U.

- Well, I may have a thread.
- Tell me.

Jack and I back-pocketed some of Hector
Salazar's contacts that aren't on the books.

If you have any information,
we'll pass it on to another field team.

- I want you back here.
- Ryan, there's no time for that.

As soon as Jack hands Ramon Salazar
over to his brother, they're gonna kill him.

- Jack may already be dead.
- Well, I'm not stopping until I know for sure.

- Chase, I want you back here now.
- Why?

Because I just found out
Jack's been using heroin.

And since you're his partner,
you must have known.

No, I had no idea.

I don't believe you. I believe you've
been covering for him all along.

Sir, the only thing that matters right now
is finding Jack, and I can't do that from C.T.U.

If you even want a chance
of keeping your job...

you'll get back here now
and debrief me on Bauer.

- Do you understand?
- Yes, I understand.

Good.

O'Brian.

- Chloe, is Kim up there?
- No.

- Are your logs still lagging by six hours?
- Let me check.

Yep.

- I thought Kim was supposed
to take care of that.
- I don't know what Kim's doing.

I don't follow her schedule that closely.

Gael. Are you going back
to tech one right now?

No, not right now. Why?

Uh, I just need something from Kim.
It's cool. I'll get her.

- No, no. She's not there.
- Yes, she is. She's backing up logs.

She was, but Chappelle asked her to
bring a mirror drive down to networking.

- She'll be back in a few minutes.
What do you need?
- What do I need?

I need to find Jack. We're dead-ending
everywhere. Kim's his daughter.

Maybe there's something we're
overlooking she can help us with.

As soon as she gets back,
I'll send her over, okay?

Yeah. Okay.

Gael. I had Adam transfer all my directories
over to your system. You're good to go.

- Thanks. Great.
- "Oh, hold on. I wanna go over"
the dispatches from Division.

There's 17 units out in the field.
Five of them are still downtown.

- They're trying to pick up Jack's trail.
- And the other 12?

Health Services, L.A.X., um, hold on,
let me pull up the rest for you.

This is the matrix
I use to balance resources.

I'll transfer it to you.

- Is Tony out of surgery?
- Yeah.

- Is he gonna be okay?
- Hope so.

- Dessler.
- Michelle, is Gael still with you?

- Yeah. Why?
- I can't get into tech one.

I'm having trouble
with the access code.

- Did you change the access code to tech one?
- No. Why? What's going on?

- Adam can't get in.
- What does he need?

- What do you need, Adam?
- I'm looking for Kim, and she was in there.

- Did you try calling her?
- There's something wrong with the phone.

- Um, can you override the door?
'Cause it's tweaked.
- Yeah, sure.

What are you doing?

Overriding the access code.
Probably something wrong with the keypad.

Okay, I'm resetting it
to one, two, three, four.

- It'll take 15 seconds to sync though.
- Thanks.

Okay, I'm sending everything related
to the virus over to volume "A."

Where do you want the Salazar file?

Kim?

Oh, my God! Kim!

- Kim...
- Adam, it was Gael.

- Hi.
- How you doing?

Section five is clear.

I have a visual on the subject.
Section five.

- "Block him off on the other side."
- "Franklin, get down here!"

This is Franklin. I'm on it!
I'm heading down the stairwell now.

Section seven. I'm locking down the east
corridor. I do not have a visual on the subject.

I repeat, I do not have
a visual on the subject.

Please advise.

We need backup in section seven.

Put it down! Put it down!
Don't do it!

Put it down now.

- "Gael."
- Don't get in my way, Michelle!

External security is already in position.

You're not going anywhere.

You take one step outside,
you know exactly what will happen.

Yeah, okay, I will. Thanks.

- What did they say?
- They haven't found Jack Bauer yet.

- "They're not even sure if he's still in the city."
- He's not in the city.

His plan was to take Ramon Salazar back
to his brother to prevent the outbreak.

That's what he's gonna do,
even if it costs him his life.

You know, David, that's probably true. But
there's nothing we can do about that now.

Our intelligence and military services
are working overtime on that front.

So, let them do their job.

We, unfortunately,
have other fires to put out.

Anne?

- David, I'm sorry about Ted and the debate.
- I don't want to hear it.

- It's not your fault.
- I was the one that told you to stand up to him.

But maybe I was wrong. Maybe
you should have just paid him off.

We're not wrong.

Mr. President.

We have a lot of work to do.

I still can't believe Gael
could be a traitor.

Has he said anything?

We haven't gone in yet.
We're sweating him first.

Listen, Ryan. Tony's out of surgery.
I wanna be there when he wakes up.

And I need you here.
We just uncovered a mole.

We don't know how badly we've
been compromised by Salazar.

But you're handling that. Anything
that spills over, you can give to Chloe.

- Chloe's a pain in the ass.
- She can do it.

At least until I get back.

Fine. If you think you're dispensable.

I just wanna be with my husband.

- All right.
- Thank you.

All right, let's do this.

You had us, Gael.

Now we have you.

You working alone or does Salazar
have other moles inside?

You know Johnson.
You know what Johnson does.

And you know that sooner or later
you're going to tell me what you know.

The only question is how hard
you wanna make this on yourself.

Kim says you were monitoring a plane
that had Jack Bauer on it.

- Is that true?
- I have nothing to say.

If it's the last thing you ever do...

you're going to tell me
where that plane is landing.

What is it, Ramon, huh?
Don't you like the girls?

Tell me again why
Hector wants Bauer alive.

- I don't know. He didn't say, but l...
- But? But nothing.

Every time Bauer takes a breath
is an insult to me.

I spent three months in prison
because of his betrayal.

I know, Ramon. And I'm sure that
Hector feels the same way.

Then he won't mind.

Ramon, no!

Are you giving me an order, Tomas?

Ramon, I work for you and your brother.

I love and respect both of you.

Hector instructed me to keep Bauer alive
until the plane lands.

And I'm instructing you to sit down.

Why won't you honor the one wish of your
brother, who arranged for your escape today?

In less than an hour, I am sure that
you will get your revenge on Bauer.

We'll see.

- Pour me another drink.
- Yes, Ramon.

- Pedro.
- I'm not supposed to talk to you, Jack.

Fine, then listen. I risked my life
getting Ramon out of prison.

You put him in prison.

Pedro, I need to tell Ramon
something. It's important.

- "Before he gets too wasted."
You know what he's like.
- Yeah.

He got drunk one time,
threw some guy off a plane.

He keeps going like this, you
might be landing before we do.

- For God's sake, listen to me.
- No, you listen to me.

I'm not talking to you.

You're a dead man.

Jack?

Jack?

Jack? Quit screwing
around, Jack! Jack!

Bottom line is I think we can explain
the national security issue that
pulled you off stage...

but the allegation against Anne
is going to be a lot harder to handle.

Her ex-husband clearly
had his own agenda.

It shouldn't be difficult
to prove he's a liar.

I understand that, but this is dirty laundry, and
we both know the public wants to hear it...

and unless you can offer the public
something definitive, Anne is going to hurt you.

Jerry's right.

Listen, David, I'm your brother,
I'm your advisor, and I do have
some perspective on this thing.

Now do you wanna hear it?

Yes, I want to hear it.

- Distance yourself from Anne.
- Oh, Wayne...

Before you shut me down,
just hear me out.

You used up the public's
goodwill with Sherry.

They don't want to hear about
your being involved with someone
else who's not trustworthy.

You have got to respect
the people who voted for you.

I'm sure they won't have a problem with that.

- Hello?
- Anne, it's me, Ted. We need to talk.

About what? What could you
possibly have to say to me?

After what you have done, I can't believe
you even have the audacity to call.

- I'm sorry.
- Oh, that's great. Now everything's all right.

That's why I called,
because I want to make it right.

How? How can you possibly undo
the damage you've done?

I'm up in my office.
Come up and I'll explain everything.

- I'm not coming over there.
- Anne, listen to me.

I have some documents
that'll prove your innocence.

- What kind of documents?
- Letters and memos.

Please, this is how
I want to do it.

I wanna give them to you personally.
I promise I won't make a scene.

- I'll send someone over to get them.
- No!

Now we will do this my way,
or I swear I'll burn them right now.

All right. But you better not be wasting my time.

Simon, we need to talk.

Chase Edmunds. Sorry, but
I'm having dinner right now.

- What do you want?
- I want information.

- Look, are you crazy?
- Simon, what's going on?

- Rita, take the kids upstairs. Everything will be fine.
- "Come on, kids."

- Now what do you want?
- Ramon Salazar broke out of federal prison today.

He is gonna hook up
with his brother, Hector.

I told you and Bauer that
I'm a legitimate accountant.

I don't have any business
dealings with the Salazars.

Simon, I did not
come here to bust you...

but I am not leaving
until I know where Hector is.

Do you understand me?

I don't know where Hector is now.

He left Colombia over
two weeks ago.

- And he didn't tell you where he was going?
- No.

- You're tied into his money flow, right?
- Yes, some of it.

Let's take a look.

Ramon, Hector is meeting us. Just wait a few
minutes. Ramon, please. Hector said...

- Are you ready to die, Jack?
- Back up!

Get back!
Get back or I'll kill him!

- Get back!
- Shoot him, Tomas! Shoot him!

If I die, he dies. Is that what you want
Hector to see when you get off this plane?

Drop the weapons!

Jack, there's no way out of this for you.

He's right.
My brother has an army out there.

We're not in your backyard anymore, Jack.

I'll worry about that.
You just take a seat.

Hey, ladies, don't worry.
Everything is under control.

The party will continue
once we're on the ground.

The big American hero.

Hey, what do you think, Jack?
That Hector's not prepared for you?

- Huh?
- Shut up!

Why do you need so many people
to pick up your brother?

I want to be prepared
when the plane lands.

- Prepared for what?
- Whatever.

I haven't heard from Gael.
He should have checked in by now.

- So why don't you call Ramon's plane?
- It's too risky.

The Americans are checking everything.

Come on, "rapido!"

Come on!

I have to go, okay?
"Rapido," come on.

Who else is working with you, Gael?

Let me make something clear.
I would love nothing more...

than to hang you as a traitor
and watch you jerk till you're dead.

But I'm a realist.

If there are others, tell me now
and we might be able to cut you a deal.

Is that Hector?

Adam, bring me
a tracking node now.

Now! Hector Salazar's calling!

Kim, grab that laptop.

- Put the socket in C-five, Kim.
- Got it.

Hurry up!

Okay, go.

One wrong word, I swear to God
I'll make you regret it.

- Hello?
- Where have you been?

Busy. I don't have a lot of time.

- Where is Ramon?
- On his way to you.

- Is he safe?
- Think so.

What about Bauer?

- Don't know.
- What do you mean you don't know, huh?

- What are you doing there?
- They put me on something else.

They're watching me.

- Call me when you have something.
- Yeah.

- Did we get it?
- No.

Damn it!

Hey.

Hey.

- How you doing?
- You scared the hell out of me.

I... I know. I'm sorry.

- How's he doing, Doctor?
- "We couldn't have hoped for a better result."

He should be on his feet in a few days.

- When can he come home?
- Probably tomorrow.

I just wanna keep an eye on him,
make sure he stays stable.

Listen, uh, Doctor, could we have
a couple minutes, please?

- Of course.
- " Thanks."

- Um, Michelle?
- Yeah.

Did the president
let Salazar out of prison?

No. No, Jack broke him out.

We think he did it so the president
wouldn't have to make the hard choice.

- Did he get away?
- Yeah.

I have to talk to Gael right away.

- Wha... Gael?
- Yeah.

What? Something happen to him?

Tony, Gael's been working
for the Salazars.

- How do you know that?
- He was using tech one to
monitor Salazar's escape.

And then when we found out,
he tried to run.

- Where is he now?
- He's still at C.T.U.

Chappelle and Johnson
are questioning him.

- No, honey, where you going?
- You have to get me over there right now.

No, you're not going anywhere.
Doctor! Doctor!

- Get the car.
- Doctor!

- Mr. Almeida, what are you doing?
- I have to get out of here.

- You can release me to C.T.U. Medical if you want.
- I can't do that.

All right, look, look!

If you're worried about liability,
my wife will sign me out.

Look, Michelle...

if I ever needed you
to trust me, it's now.

You see? These are the bank transfers that
he made from his account in Bogota.

They stopped two weeks ago.

Follow the money.
Where did it go?

Some of it to a bank account
here in L.A...a David Gomez.

- Yeah, we already know about that.
What else?

- Well, that's interesting.
- "What?"

$720,000 deposited.

- I've never seen this account.
- Where is it?

Banco del Oeste.
It's in a town in Mexico.

- Las Nieves.
- Okay, look out.

- That's gotta be it.
- Good. We're done?

- Not quite.
- "What else?"

- "You have a private plane, don't you?"
- Yes.

Clear it for takeoff.

- Hey, Kim.
- Hey, Chloe.

- Did he hurt you? Gael, I mean?
- No.

It's crazy. I mean, he's been here what,
two years, and the C.I.A. Five before that?

- "How does someone like that"
end up a terrorist?
- I don't know, Chloe.

Listen, I want to tell you that I don't
think your dad's a bad person.

- If I ever said anything to offend you, I'm sorry.
- It's okay. Thanks.

There. I said it.

- Hello.
- Kim, it's me. Are you alone?

Hold on.

Where are you?
Chappelle ordered you back here.

Yeah, he did. But listen, I'm not
coming back until I find your father.

- How are you gonna do that?
- I just found out where Hector Salazar is.

A small town in Northern Mexico called Las
Nieves. I'm sure Jack's taking Ramon there now.

No, Chase, it's the other way around.
Ramon's taking my dad.

- How do you know that?
- There was a video feed, and I saw it.

They knocked my dad out
and dragged him onto a plane.

Oh, wait-wait a minute.
A video feed, Kim? I don't understand.

Gael has been working
for the Salazars.

He's been watching everything
through surveillance cameras.

- Gael?
- Yes, Gael's been helping
the Salazars this whole time.

- Well, is Gael talking?
- I don't know. Chappelle's got him now.

But I don't know if they're getting anywhere.
I haven't heard anything.

Okay, Kim,
C.T.U. Has been compromised.

- You cannot tell anyone you've talked to me, okay?
- What about Chappelle?

- Especially not Chappelle.
- You cannot go in there alone.

Hector's gonna have an army down there.

No, I will call for backup
when the time's right.

I need to hear you promise me you're not
gonna tell anyone you talked to me.

- I don't know, Chase.
- Think about it.

- Don't do this to us, Kim.
There's too much at stake.
- I'm not doing anything to us.

This is about your life and my dad's.

Okay, I know what this is about,
damn it. Just listen to me.

I have to go dark. There's no time
to argue about it. Just do this.

- Kim?
- Be careful, Chase.

Kim. Kim!

- So tell me, tough guy, what's the plan?
- You'll know soon enough.

Come on, we're interested.
Tell the girls.

So you think you're gonna land
the plane and arrest Hector?

No. Even the great Jack Bauer
can't take 50 men by himself.

Oh, I got it. You're gonna drop me off,
turn the plane around.

Hey, but wait, you are
a criminal in America.

Wanted. So where will you go?

I don't think a Third World
country will suit you.

I think that's called a dilemma, Jack.

Shut up.

Adam, where's Chappelle?

- He's with Gael.
- Where?

- Interrogation 820.
- Let's go.

What the hell's going on?

I don't know.

Talk to me, you son of a bitch!

Get the door.

- Johnson, that's enough.
- Almeida, what are you doing...

Ryan, get him out of the room.

- "Why?"
- Trust me, Ryan. Get him out of the room.

- You too, Ryan.
- What?

I gotta talk to Gael by myself, all right?
Just trust me on this one.

Michelle, what's going on?

Look, I don't care what's
going on between you two.

I'm not going anywhere.
I'm staying right here.

Ramon!

Ramon!

- Where is Ramon?
- Hector...

Where's my brother?

Kill him! Kill Bauer!

Do you hear me?

- What are you doing, Jack?
- Your brother tried to kill me on the plane!

Why all the guns? This is
not what we talked about!

I was worried. Gael wasn't sure
you were on the plane.

Go see your brother.

- "My brother. I'm so glad to see you."
- What's going on?

- I don't understand.
- I'll tell you in a minute. I promise.

Good job, Jack.

Come, we have a lot of work to do.

What are you doing, Hector?

Come.

I'll explain everything.

He's in.

- What are you talking about? Who's in?
- Jack.

- What?
- Gael and I have been working with Jack.

We've been trying to get him
back undercover with the Salazars.

- That signal means he's back in.
- I don't understand.

Look, I'll explain everything.
Right now, we gotta call the president.
