Recap: Previously on 24.
WOMAN’S VOICE:
Vice President Prescott’s on the line.
PRESIDENT PALMER:
Jim, I have reason to believe I have the
JIM PRESCOTT:
I thought we analyzed it; proved it was real.
PALMER: CTU
------------------------------------------
POLICEMAN:
Come out with your hands on top of your head.
MR. GARCIA:
I killed a man!
KIM BAUER:
It was an accident. If you turn yourself in now; they’ll consider that.
MR GARCIA:
If I see you coming in; I will kill her.
COP: Go, go,
go!
------------------------------------------
CARRIE O’BRIEN:
I don’t think Jack was working alone.
TONY ALMEIDA: What do you mean?
CARRIE: Baker
was keeping an eye on Kate. Michelle distracted him.
------------------------------------------
TONY: Did you
help Jack take Kate Warner outta here?
MICHELLE: Of
course not.
------------------------------------------
TONY: I need
you to put a filter on all Michelle’s communications. I need you to let me
know when Jack tries to contact her.
------------------------------------------
KATE WARNER:
What’s going on?
JACK BAUER:
Ten minutes ago a man called me. Told me he had proof that the evidence that
the President was using to base his decisions on was forged. He wouldn’t give
me any other information unless I brought you
to him.
------------------------------------------
CAPTAIN JONATHAN
WALLACE: I still got what you need, and I’m not gonna give it to you until
you give me Kate Warner.
JACK: Tell
me more about the evidence. How does it prove that the
WALLACE: I
have the source recordings.
------------------------------------------
JACK: Yousef,
why did you follow me from CTU?
YOUSEF AUDA:
When you broke out, you isolated yourself. Whatever you’re doing, you’ll need
help.
[Shot of Jack,
Yousef and Wallace ducking behind a car as they are fired at from above.]
THE FOLLOWING TAKES PLACE BETWEEN 1:00
AM & 2:00 AM
[Scene picks
up where it left off with Jack, Yousef and Wallace being fired at. They all
have a gun and are shooting back.]
JACK: They’re
coming at us from both sides of the ally!
[More shooting.
There are Enemy Guys everywhere.]
JACK: The roof!
[Yousef takes
out a sniper on the roof.]
WALLACE: Fire
escape!
[Jack takes
out the guy on the fire escape. More firing of shoots. A number hit the trunk.
Kate’s inside.]
JACK (to WALLACE):
Give me the key!
WALLACE: Here.
[He throws
the keys to Jack.]
JACK: Yousef,
give me cover!
[Yousef covers
Jack as he unlocks the boots and grabs a terrified Kate.]
JACK: Kate,
get out of the trunk and stay down!
WALLACE: Left,
on the left!
JACK: Go for
the door, now!
[Jack shoots
another guy and follows Kate back inside the warehouse. Wallace follows them
and shuts the door. Yousef runs further down the alley, still shooting Enemy
Guys.]
[Shot to inside
the warehouse of Kate looking freaked. Jack comes up behind her and grabs
her arm.]
JACK: Kate!
Come with me.
[He pulls her
along to a covered corner and makes her sit. She does so, covering her ears.]
JACK: Get down!
Stay down! (To Wallace) Who the hell are these guys?!
WALLCE: Follow
up team sent by my employers. Must’ve finally figured out they didn’t get
me first time around.
JACK: How’d
they know you were here?
WALLCE: Beats
the hell outta me.
[Shot to Yousef
at his car getting and reloading more guns. He gets out his phone.]
YOUSEF (into
phone): Jack, you there?
JACK (into
phone): Yousef, are you okay?
YOUSEF (into
phone): Yeah.
JACK (into
phone): Where are you?
YOUSEF (into
phone): I’ve managed to get back to the vehicle and re-arm.
JACK (into
phone): What’s out there?
YOUSEF (into
phone): There’s three down that I know of. There’s at least three more out
there but I don’t have there positions. I’m gonna find a better vantage point.
JACK (into
phone): Okay, good. We’re gonna figure out what we’re gonna do in here. I’ll
get back to you. Stand by.
[Jack hangs
up.]
WALLACE: Have
him cover us, let’s get to your car and get the hell outta here!
JACK: We don’t
know how many men are out there! (Gets out his phone again) Let me call my
person at CTU; she can help us.
WALLACE: Negative!
You’re not calling anybody. The only way you get the proof Palmer needs is
if we do this my way. We go now!
[Jack hangs
up his phone.]
KATE: There’s
men out there trying to kill us. Doesn’t that prove something?
JACK: Not to
the joint Chiefs of Staff in DC.
[He grabs Kate
to her feet.]
WALLACE: Call
Yousef; let’s shape and exit strategy!
YOUSEF (through
phone): Jack?
JACK (into
phone): Yousef, go ahead.
YOUSEF (into
phone): I’m hearing something. Sounds like another HUM V just arrived.
JACK: Sonuvabitch,
stand by. (He hangs up) (To Wallace) We are surrounded. We are running out
of time. You’ve gotta let me make this call. I’ve got someone on the inside
that can give us infrared satellite. I guarantee you I will not jeopardize
your identity.
WALLACE: Offline.
JACK: Yes.
WALLACE: Do
it.
[Jack takes
out his phone and dials.]
------------------------------------------
[Shot to Michelle
Dessler answering her phone at CTU in the halls.]
MICHELLE (into
phone): Dessler.
JACK (into
phone): Michelle, its Jack. Are we secure?
MICHELLE (into
phone): My cell’s scrambled but don’t call me on any agency numbers; I’m being
monitored.
JACK
(into phone): You were right. Sayed Ali’s recording was fake. The President’s
about to invade the Middle East based on falsified evidence.
MICHELLE
(into phone): Do you have proof?
JACK
(into phone): No, not yet. But I can get it. I need your help.
MICHELLE
(into phone): It’s gonna be difficult. Tony’s been breathing down my neck
ever since I helped you get outta here.
JACK (into
phone): You’re gonna have to work around it. I need infrared satellite on
my position now.
MICHELLE (into
phone): Where are you?
JACK (into
phone): You can get the coordinates of our cell phone connection. Get back
to me.
MICHELLE (into
phone): What are you looking for?
JACK (into
phone): We’re surrounded. We’re in a warehouse; there’s three of us inside.
I need to know how many men are outside and what their positions are. I got
a Friendly at the North end of the alley behind the dumpster.
MICHELLE (into
phone): Okay, I’ll see what I can do.
JACK (into
phone): Thank Michelle.
[They hang
up. Jack gets in touch with Yousef.]
JACK (into
phone): Yousef?
YOUSEF (through
phone): I’m here.
JACK (into
phone): We’re gonna be a few minutes, we’re waiting on satellite. I’ll get
back to you. (hangs up) (to Wallace) It’s gonna take awhile. She needs to
secure our position.
[Wallace nods.
Jack gets Kate.]
JACK: Come
on.
------------------------------------------
[Shot of Kim
Bauer and the police outside King’s Liquor. She is with a Deputy who is taking
notes.]
KIM BAUER:
Is Mr. Garcia gonna be alright?
DEPUTY: He’ll
live. Alright. I’m gonna put down that you claim that the shooting was an
accident.
KIM (nodding):
It was.
DEPUTY: Yeah,
well, he’s still gonna have to explain to the DA what he was doing going into
the store with a gun.
[A siren sounds
as an ambulance pulls up.]
KIM: It wasn’t
his.
DEPUTY: What’s
that?
KIM: The gun.
It was mine.
DEPUTY: What
are you doing with a gun?
KIM: Someone
gave it to me earlier tonight. Look, my name’s Kim Bauer. This afternoon I
escaped from police custody. I’m a suspect in a murder.
------------------------------------------
[Shot of District
Headquarters Los Angeles. President Palmer, Lynn Kresge, Mike Novick and other
government people are in a room watching a news broadcast about the days events.]
TV ANNOUNCER:
While most Americans are still asleep and have not yet heard the news about
the nuclear detonation in California, many are up and they are starting to
react. Reaction is taking many forms and in some cases violence is erupting.
We’re still awaiting a statement from the White House that might shed some
light on who is behind the attack in California. In the meantime, we hope
this-
PALMER: That’s
enough.
[Mike turns
it off.]
PALMER: What’s
the alert status of the National Guard?
NOVICK: They’re
ready to be deployed in all major metropolitan areas.
PALMER: What
about outside the big cities?
NOVICK: If
this thing gets out of control, we may have to get help from the military.
Local law enforcement might not be able to do the job.
PALMER: Call
General Bowden. Tell him to put troops on stand by.
NOVICK: The
army? We can’t do that.
PALMER: You’re
worried about passé camitates?
NOVICK: Exactly.
We can’t use army or air force on American soil. Only the Navy and the Marines.
PALMER: No,
Navy can’t help us. And there are not enough Marines on stand by. I’ll deal
with consequences. Call Bowden.
NOVICK (picking
up phone): Yes sir.
PALMER (to
Lynn): What’s the status of our bombers?
LYNN: They
are proceeding as scheduled to their targets in the Middle East.
PALMER: And
where are they now?
LYNN: Just
South of Greenland. They should be entering into Middle Easter airspace in
four or five hours.
PALMER: Thank
you.
------------------------------------------
[Shot of Michelle
at her computer trying to get infrared for Jack. Carrie comes up behind her.]
CARRIE: What
are you doing on the satellite?
[Michelle closes
the satellite window on her computer screen.]
MICHELLE: Just
checking on something. Prep the files for the next shift?
CARRIE: Yeah,
I’m almost done. I’m gonna go see if Tony needs some help.
[Carrie leaves.
Michelle goes back to the satellite.]
[Shot of Carrie
meeting Tony, on crutches, in a hall upstairs.]
TONY: Hey.
What’s up?
CARRIE: You
asked me to keep an eye on Michelle?
TONY: Yeah.
CARRIE: She
was just accessing a MODSAT screen at work station three.
TONY: Well,
that’s not unusual. We’ve been on MODSAT all night.
CARRIE: Just
before that she received a call that wouldn’t lock onto our log.
TONY: It was
open?
CARRIE: Yeah.
TONY: Might’ve
been Division.
CARRIE: Mighta
been.
TONY: Alright,
ah…find out what she was looking at. Let me know.
[Carrie leaves.
Tony watches Michelle leave her work station and walk to another one.]
------------------------------------------
[Shot back
to Jack, Kate and Wallace in the warehouse. The gunfire has ceased.]
JACK (into
phone): Yousef, what’s happening out there?
YOUSEF (into
phone): I think they’re repositioning.
JACK (into
phone): We’re still waiting on satellite. It’s gonna be another minute. I’ll
get back to you.
[He hangs up
and goes and kneels near Kate.]
JACK: With
CTU’s help, we’re gonna get outta here. I promise.
KATE: What
does Wallace want with me?
JACK: He needs
you to help him get outta the country.
KATE: Needs
me? How?
JACK: With
your fathers CIA connections. His company has a special travel dispensation.
KATE: They
wouldn’t let him on board as a passenger unless…I was on the plane with him.
JACK: I know.
Kate…I will not let you get on that plane.
------------------------------------------
[Shot back
to Michelle working on the satellite at CTU. She looks around nervously.]
[Shot to Carrie
who is watching everything Michelle is doing through a camera feed on a computer.]
------------------------------------------
1:10:44, 1:10:45,
1:10:46…
1:15:09, 1:15:10,
1:15:11, 1:15:12, 1:15:13, 1:15:14, 1:15:15
------------------------------------------
[Shot to police
car driving down the highway. The Deputy is driving and there is another cop
next to him. Kim in the back.]
KIM: Is there
anyway I can find out how my boyfriend is doing?
DEPUTY: I don’t
know anything about that. You’ll have to wait till we get to the station.
KIM: Well, there was also another officer. I
think his name was Brown. He was in the accident as well.
DEPUTY: Neither.
Look…Miss…you’re under arrest. So take my advice. Don’t say anymore.
KIM: Doesn’t
matter anyway.
DEPUTY: You
can make a phone call when we get to the station.
KIM: Who am
I gonna call? My Dad is the one who was flying the plane; the one with the
bomb in it. I don’t have anyone anymore.
------------------------------------------
[Shot back
to Carrie at CTU watching Michelle on her computer monitor. She sees Michelle
is using the satellite and calls Tony.]
TONY (on phone):
Almeida.
CARRIE (into
phone): She’s looking at infrareds. She’s been collecting data now for almost
ten minutes.
TONY (into
phone): Alright, I’ll tell you what, pull the coordinates off of what she’s
looking at. If she’s doing it for Jack; that’s where we’re gonna find him.
CARRIE: I tried
that.
TONY: Well,
what’s the problem?
CARRIE: She’s
covered her tracks. She’s pulled over a hundred quadrants. I have no idea
which one she’s really interested in.
TONY: I’ll
tell you what, I’ll deal with this Carrie. All right? Thanks.
[He hangs up
and watches Michelle again as she gets up from her work station.]
[Shot of Michelle
entering the bathroom. She checks that no one else is there before dialing
her phone.]
JACK (on phone):
Yeah?
MICHELLE (into
phone): I don’t a lotta time. Are you ready?
JACK (into
phone): Give me one sec. (He gets out his palm pilot) Okay, go ahead.
MICHELLE (through
phone): I count eleven; including your Friendly. I’m sending you their positions
on an infrared map. They’re all stationary except for one. Jack, he’s roving.
JACK (into
phone): Okay, send it.
MICHELLE (into
phone): Okay.
[Michelle sends
the information.]
MICHELLE (into
phone): You get it?
JACK (into
phone): Yeah, I got it.
MICHELLE (into
phone): Jack…how much longer do you need to stay anonymous?
JACK (into
phone): I don’t know, why?
MICHELLE (into
phone): Tony’s watching me.
[Two women
enter the bathroom.]
WOMAN 1: How’re
you holding up?
MICHELLE (into
phone): Gotta go.
WOMAN 2: Oh,
alright.
[She hangs
up, exits the stall and leaves.]
WOMAN 2: There’s
just so much mess.
WOMAN 1: I
know.
[Shot of Michelle
as she leaves the bathroom and runs directly into Tony whose been waiting
for her.]
TONY: You always
take a phone with you to the bathroom? Where’s Jack?
MICHELLE: I
don’t know.
TONY: Look
Michelle, you know we’ve been monitoring all the communication coming in and
out of this building all day. Now if you’re breaking protocol-
MICHELE: I’m
not.
TONY: All right.
Then I’ll ask you again. Where’s Jack?
MICHELLE: I don’t know. But you have to call President
Palmer. You have to tell him not to act on the recording until Jack finishes
the investigation.
TONY: So you
have talked to Jack?
MICHELLE: I
didn’t say that.
[She starts
to leave. Tony pulls her back.]
TONY: Listen
carefully, Michelle. You don’t work for Jack. You work for me.
MICHELLE: Would
you get past your ego for one sec-
TONY: Ego?!
I gotta job to do here. You don’t like the way I’m doing it? That’s your problem.
But if you know anything about Jack Bauer, you better tell me about it right
now!
MICHELLE: I have no information. I’m not helping Jack.
[She looks down at where he’s grabbing her arm. He lets go.]
TONY: I hope you’re not lying to me.
[Michelle walks away.]
------------------------------------------
[Shot back to Jack and Wallace going over the infrared that Michelle sent
him.]
JACK: She counted nine plus one roving. It an elastic change of fire. If
I were a sniper I’d cover the building from here. (Points to map).
WALLACE: Yeah, that looks right.
JACK: We’re gonna have to build a corridor.
WALLACE: Which accent?
JACK: This one right here. (Points again) Go between these two groups;
let em fire at each other. That should give us about ten seconds to get to
the car.
WALLACE: With just us firing?
JACK: We don’t have another way.
[Wallace heads away. Kate goes up to Jack.]
KATE: Jack. I know how to shoot a gun.
[He looks at her then hands her a pistol.]
JACK: Take this. You stay right behind me.
[Jack walks away and gets back on the phone.]
JACK (into phone): Yousef, this is Jack, do you copy?
YOUSEF (into phone): Yeah.
JACK (into phone): We’re getting ready to make our exit. Lemme give you
the positions of the shooters.
YOUSEF (into phone): Go ahead.
JACK (into phone): We’ve counted nine plus one roving. We got two shooters
on the balcony right above me. I got three in the building adjacent.
------------------------------------------
[Shot back to District Headquarters. Palmer exiting an office and meeting
Lynn.]
LYNN: Sir, I just got off with the Security of Defense. He wants to know
how much longer you’re giving Jack Bauer to disprove that tape before we failsafe
the orders.
PALMER: As far as I’m concerned, Jack Bauer will have up until the time
the planes start releasing bombs.
LYNN: Well,
from the Secretary’s point of view, that’s tying the DOD’s hands. He claims
that the longer it takes for you to lock down a decision the less flexibility
he has and he may very well want to launch a pre-strike from one of our carriers.
PALMER: There
will be no pre-strikes on this mission. We’re going to utilize every moment
we have to be thorough.
LYNN: He’s
not gonna like that, sir.
PALMER: That’s
his problem, Lynn.
LYNN: I understand.
[Mike Novick
comes up to them.]
NOVICK: Sir.
There’s a situation that requires your immediate attention.
PALMER: What
Mike?
[The three
of them start walking.]
NOVICK: Civil
unrest is starting to tip up and down the East Coast. The area I’m most concerned
about is outside of Atlanta.
PALMER: What’s
going on there?
[The three
of them enter the room they were in before watching the news. There are other
government people in there.]
NOVICK: Some
Madhock Militias have joined forces. They’re getting very aggressive in one
of the suburbs.
PALMER: Is
this racially motivated?
NOVICK: Absolutely.
The demographics of the area are predominantly Middle Eastern.
[Mike clicks
on the TV and it’s another report.]
TV REPORTER:
What do you hope to accomplish here?
ANGRY MAN:
Well, we want Washington to know that we consider ourselves in a war situation.
We want these people in turn. And if they won’t do it? We will.
TV REPORTER:
Who do you want in turn? I’m told that the majority of this neighborhood consists
of US citizens.
ANGRY MAN:
Naturalized. They weren’t born here. I mean, some of em don’t even know how
to speak English. They memorize the answers to fifty questions and take the
test. And then we let them vote.
TV REPORTER:
Sir, how do you respond to the Governors claim that these people have no more
to do with the bomb in California then you or I?
ANGRY MAN:
If we’d have locked down our voters twenty years ago like we should’ve, none
of this would’ve happened.
TV REPORTER:
What’s eerie about the scene is that even though this crowd has been here
for over half an hour, there are only a few police cars on site.
PALMER: All
right.
TV REPORTER:
The officer told me that they’re having to deal with-
[Mike shuts
it off.]
PALMER: I thought
we ordered the National Guard?
NOVICK: Some
are on their way. Some are dispatched to other flash points.
LYNN: Do you
want me to set up a phone call with the FBI and the Army?
PALMER: And
tell them what? They’ve already received their orders.
NOVICK: The
problem is resources. We just don’t have bodies to cover everyone.
PALMER: Where’s
the media heading right now?
LYNN: Well,
apparently it’s happening all up and down the East Coast but the city Marietta
in Atlanta seems to have most traction with the press.
PALMER (rising):
All right. This is what we’re gonna do. We may be short on manpower, but it
doesn’t have to appear that way. Send all the Easter Georgia National Guard
to Marietta. And tell the media that this is where something’s going to happen.
NOVICK: What’s
going to happen, sir?
PALMER: If
this is what the people are going to be watching, let’s show them how we’re
going to respond. I want them to see how we protect our citizens. We will
not put up with racism, or xenophobia. If this is where it’s gonna start,
this is where it’s gonna stop!

[Shot to Yousef
standing guard by the warehouse. He lays out some gas bombs.]
YOUSEF (on
phone): All right. I’m all set up here.
JACK (into
phone): Copy that. Start laying down the smoke. We’re ready to go.
YOUSEF (into
phone): Copy that. Going in on the smoke.
[Yousef chucks
two gas cylinders into the alley.]
[Shot to Jack,
Wallace and Kate.]
JACK (to Wallace):
You take the men on the left. I got the ones right above us. You ready?
[Shot back
to Yousef.)
YOUSEF (into phone): Smokes in place. I’ll
draw fire and go pick up the vehicle.
[Yousef gets out from behind the dumpster and starts firing.]
JACK: GO!
[Shot of Jack, Wallace and Kate exiting the warehouse shooting up a storm.
Wallace gets one guy. Jack gets another. Kate looks utterly terrified.]
JACK: Kate?!
KATE: Jack!
JACK: Kate, get down!
[Kate hides behind a dumpsters, gets shot at and runs. Jack hits another
guy.]
[Shot of Kate in a new hiding place. She heard a click behind her and turns.
An Enemy Guy is walking on the level below her with a gun, unaware that she’s
seen him. He hasn’t spotted her. He walks slowly up to the level she’s on,
still not seeing her. He stands right in front of her with his back to her.
Kate aims the gun at him but can’t seem to shoot him. Her hands are shaking
like crazy. She lowers the gun. The guy turns around. She gasps and shoots
him. He goes down.]
JACK: Kate!
[Jack comes up to her through the smoke. He grabs her arm.]
JACK: Come on, we gotta get going.
[Jack and Kate run. Jack takes down another guy. Wallace follows. He shoots
another guy.]
JACK: Keep moving!
[Yousef pulls the car into the alley.]
JACK (to Kate): Get in the front seat and stay down! Get down!
[He practically shoves Kate into the car. Jack and Yousef cover Wallace
so he can get to the car. Wallace gets in the back.]
JACK (to Kate): Stay down! (to Yousef) GO!
[Jack gets in the back behind Wallace.]
JACK: GO! GO!
[Yousef drives away. The car is riddle with gunfire. A shot gets Wallace.
He groans in pain. Jack checks him out.]
JACK: Let me look at it. (He looks) There’s no exit wound. We gotta get
you to a hospital.
WALLACE: NO! LAX. Cargo departures.
JACK: You will not make it.
WALLACE: Make it. Stop the bleeding.
JACK: Kate, in the glove box is a first aid kit. Get me all the gauze,
pads and wraps.
[Kate gets them.]
JACK (to Wallace): Hold on, hold on. (He puts some bandages on the wound)
Put pressure on it now.
------------------------------------------
[Shot back to Palmer and the others watching the news report. Lynn is on
the phone.]
TV REPORTER: It’s a surreal scene here at the Marietta. It’s four-thirty
in the morning and normally people would be at home asleep, yet today a showdown
is in the making. The riots are escalating all over the city. Fires and looting
are widespread. The National Guard continue to roll in as do the angry citizens
who are taking out their frustration on this normally peaceful Middle Eastern
community.
[Mike shuts off the volume.]
NOVICK: You got what you asked for, sir, it’s on all the major news channels.
[Lynn hangs up the phone.]
LYNN: Sir, Kent Mansky of the National Guard wants to know what sort of
tactical rule set you want to follow.
PALMER: What are they on now?
LYNN: Containment only. They’re allowing minor misdemeanors to go unchallenged.
PALMER: That’s unacceptable. I want the law enforced. Tell them to start
making arrests and taking people in.
NOVICK: Sir, if you declare a curfew, you could start pulling every one
of them in before this thing gets out of control.
PALMER: That’s a good idea. (To Lynn) Do it. Tell Mansky we’re not afraid
to have him start taking action.
LYNN: Yes sir. (She gets back on the phone)
NOVICK: What will help more then anything, sir, is your voice. You need
to talk directly to the people.
PALMER: I know. Tell Jenny I’ll be down in a few minutes.
[Mike gets on the phone. A woman answers.]
WOMAN (through phone): Murphy speaking.
NOVICK: Yeah, this is Novick. We need Jenny Dodge.
------------------------------------------
[Shot back to CTU of Carrie at her work station. Tony goes up to her.]
TONY: Carrie.
CARRIE: Yeah?
TONY: LAPD just called. There’s automatic weapon fire at Studio City. Police
have arrived and they’re finding bodies and military spec weapons. Communications
got the address. Check it against the coordinates of the images Michelle pulled
off the satellite, alright?
CARRIE: Right away.
[Tony goes over to Michelle.]
TONY: Is that the location, Michelle? Huh, is it? The police just got there
and they already got four bodies. So let’s talk!
MICHELLE: Yeah, that’s it.
TONY: All right. We gotta call him; he may need our help.
MICHELLE: Jack made it very clear that the only way to get the proof on
this tape is if CTU stays out of it.
TONY: We don’t even know if he’s still alive!
[Shot of Carrie looking on. Michelle picks up her phone.]
MICHELLE: He’s on an open channel. You won’t be able to trace it; but you
can talk to him.
------------------------------------------
[Shot of Yousef speeding the car down the road. Wallace is in a LOT of
pain. Jack’s phone rings.]
JACK (into phone): Michelle?!
TONY (into phone): No, Jack. It’s Tony.
JACK (into phone): Tony, trust me, stay outta this.
TONY (into phone): What’s going on, Jack?
JACK (into phone): Tony, the President asked me to provide him with proof
that the Cyprus recording was fake. I’m trying to do that. The man who can
provide me with that proof will only deal with me. He will not cooperate if
CTU is involved. That’s why I had to leave the way I did.
TONY (into phone): How do we know he’s not using you, Jack?
JACK (into phone): Because ten commandos just tried to kill him to stop
him from making a deal with me.
TONY (into phone): What’s he want?
JACK (though phone): He wants to disappear.
TONY (into phone): All right, bring him here Jack. We’ll deal with him
here.
JACK (through phone): Tony, I just told you; he will not cooperate with
us under those circumstances.
TONY (into
phone): I understand what you’re saying, Jack. But this country’s about to
go to war over this, all right? This is way too big for one person to handle.
Even you.
JACL (to Yousef):
Keep going straight! (To Tony) Sorry. I can’t do it. (Hangs up)

[Shot of a
handcuffed Kim being led into a police station by the Deputy. He takes her
to a font desk.]
DEPUTY: Hey,
Bob.
BOB: This Kim
Bauer? I’ll take her.
DEPUTY: What
about processing?
BOB: It’s okay.
Go fill out the report.
[The Deputy
hands Kim off to Bob and walks away.]
BOB: Come with
me.
[He leads Kim
into a holding room.]
BOB: In here.
[He uncuffs
her.]
BOB: Have a
seat.
[Kim sits.
Bob sits across from her and opens a file.]
BOB: Looks
like you’ve had quite a day.
KIM: Yeah.
BOB: You took
Megan Matheson from her parents home-
KIM: She was
being abused.
BOB: Got into
a fight with her father. Then you took Megan again. This time from the hospital.
You stole Gary Matheson’s car and fled the city.
KIM: I had
to; I knew about the bomb.
BOB: Understood.
But then you were stopped by CHP officer Raymond Brown who discovered the
dead body of Carla Matheson in the trunk.
KIM: I didn’t
kill anyone.
BOB: I know
you didn’t. We know Gary Matheson killed his wife. We’re looking for him now.
There was a witness. And we found Gary’s prints on the murder weapon.
KIM: You did?
BOB: Yes. So
you’re off the hook for everything that happened this morning.
KIM: Thank
God.
BOB: But there’s
still the matter of you and your boyfriends’ attempted escape from custody.
Officer Brown was badly injured in the accident…but he’s gonna make it. And
we now know that you were telling him the truth about the bomb.
KIM: So I’m
free?
BOB: You should
probably have someone from CTU call the DA on your behalf. But yes, you’ll
be free to go.

WOMAN ON PHONE:
Sure.
KATE (to Wallace):
Where are you going?
WALLACE: Jakarta.
(To Jack) What’re you surprised that I’m giving up my destination?
JACK: No. You’ll
just change it once you’re in the air.
KATE (into
phone): Prep a cargo transport to Jakarta, Indonesia. And give us priority
clearance so we can leave tonight.
WOMAN ON PHONE:
Who else is on the flight?
KATE (to Wallace):
What name should I give them?
WALLACE: Passport…in
my pocket.
JACK: I got

KATE (into
phone): William Patterson.
WOMAN ON PHONE:
One moment.
[Wallace starts
to lost consciousness.]
JACK: Come
on, stay with me. He’s losing consciousness! Wallace, we can’t take this chance.
Tell me where the evidence is and I give you my word; I will get you out of
this country.
WALLACE: You
know what, Jack? You were a real bad-ass back there at the warehouse. (He
starts to laugh maniacally)
JACK: Sonuvabitch.
[Wallace starts
convulsing.]
JACK: No. I’m
losing him! Dammit!
[Jack leans
through the front seat and presses the button on the in-car computer that
says Medical Centers.]
KATE: What
are you doing?
JACK: I wanna
see if there’s an urgent care centre in the neighbourhood. (Screen says “Loading
Map”) Come on! ( A map comes up) Four blocks! (To Yousef) Four blocks! Make
a right! GO!
[Yousef nods.
Jack goes back to Wallace.]
[Shot of the
car speeding along.]

[Shot of Tony
at a desk at CTU on the phone.]
TONY (into
phone): I want ID’s on all the bodies. And see what traces we can find on
the weapons.
MAN ON PHONE:
Bauer’s actions are CTU’s responsibility.
TONY (into
phone): I know he’s with CTU and believe me we’re not gonna run away from
this. Let’s just find out who these people are.
MAN ON PHONE:
Sending to forensics, right?
TONY (into
phone): Yeah.
MAN ON PHONE:
NSA and field units?
TONY (into
phone): Yeah, that’s fine.
[He hangs up.
Another phone rings and a woman’s voice comes over the speaker.]
WOMAN: Mr.
Almeida? Kim Bauer on line four.
[Tony picks
up the phone.]
TONY (into
phone): Kim, where are you?
KIM (into phone):
At a Sheriff’s Station in Santa Clarita.
TONY (into
phone): What happened?
KIM (into phone):
It doesn’t matter; they’re not gonna charge me for murder or kidnapping but,
ah, look I still might need some help.
TONY (into
phone): Sure, what do you need?
KIM (into phone):
Well, they were taking us back to Los Angeles and my boyfriend and I tried
to escape and we got into a car accident. A police officer was injured.
TONY (into
phone): Alright, look, I’ll call the DA’s office and see what I can do.
KIM (into phone):
Thank you.
TONY (into
phone): Kim…I’m sure you’d rather be talking to your Dad about this but I
know they probably told you he’s that not available right now.
KIM (into phone):
What are you talking about?
TONY (into
phone): Well, he’s in the field.
KIM (into phone):
In the field? You mean he’s alive?
TONY (into
phone): Oh my God, Kim! You still think he died in the plane!
KIM (into phone):
He didn’t?!
TONY (into
phone): No, no, no. George Mason took over. He was able to get out in time.
KIM (into phone):
Ah-Oh my god- when can I talk to him?
TONY (into
phone): Ah, not for awhile, Kim.

[Shot to Yousef
pulling up to the Urgent Care Centre. Jack and Yousef have to help and barely
conscious Wallace from the car. Kate follows them.]
JACK: Come
on, come on, get him!
[They go into
the centre.]
JACK: I need
to see the doctor now!
NURSE: Sir,
you can’t do that!
[Jack and Yousef
are blocked by a locked door.]
JACK: Open
the door!
NURSE: Sir,
I will call the police!
[Jack pulls
a gun on her.]
JACK: Lady,
I am the police! Now open the door!
NURSE: Let
him in. Let him in!
[Another nurse
buzzes them in. Yousef and Jack pull Wallace into medical room with Kate trailing
behind them.]
JACK: Doctor,
we need you now!
DOCTOR: What
the hell happened?
JACK: This
man’s been shot in the neck. I’m a Federal Agent. This man has information
vital to national security. I need you to stop the bleeding and keep him alive.
[The Doctor
looks at the wound.]
DOCTOR: This
is just a clinic. This man needs a hospital.
JACK: We don’t
have time. You’ve got to do what you can, now! Doctor please!
DOCTOR: Alright,
alright. (Turns to Nurse) Clara, get me suture kits, Lidacane with epi and
a crash cart. Now! Now!
[The doctor
looks at the wound. Jack shows it to him.]
JACK: It’s
right here. He’s got a bullet lodged in his neck.

[Shot to Kim,
still at the sheriff’s station, making another phone call.]
[Shot to Miguel
in a hospital bed looking mighty depressed. His phone rings. With some difficulty,
he answers it.]
MIGUEL (into
phone): Hello?
KIM (into phone):
Miguel, it’s me.
MIGUEL (into
phone): Kim. Are you okay?
KIM (into phone):
I’m fine. How are you?
MIGUEL (into
phone): I’m okay.
KIM (into phone):
Yeah? Look, its so weird but the police know Gary killed Carla. And we’re
not gonna be charged with anything. Except maybe the escape, but I think we’re
okay there too.
MIGUEL (into
phone): That’s good.
KIM (into phone):
Good? It’s great!
MIGUEL (into
phone): Yeah.
KIM (into phone):
How bout you?
MIGUEL (into
phone): I’m fine.
KIM (into phone):
Are you sure? I mean, you don’t sound-
MIGUEL (into
phone): I don’t sound what? Excited? Gee, Kim, I’m really sorry.
KIM (into phone):
Miguel, what’s wrong? Why are you acting like this?
MIGUEL
(into phone): I shoulda never let you talk me into doing all that stuff.
KIM
(into phone): Yeah, but it worked out.
MIGUEL
(into phone): For you. I’m the one that’s here in the hospital.
KIM
(into phone): You just said you were fine.
MIGUEL
(into phone): I am going to be fine. I’m just gonna be…fine without you.
KIM
(into phone): What?!
MIGUEL
(into phone): I don’t wanna see you anymore.
KIM
(into phone): Why not?!
MIGUEL
(into phone): There’s no why not. It just is.
KIM
(into phone): No. Miguel, what is going on? Are you okay? I’m coming to see
you right now.
MIGUEL
(into phone): Kim, I said no. It’s over.
KIM
(into phone): You mean that?
MIGUEL
(into phone - crying): Yeah, I mean it.

[Shot of Tony
working in his office at CTU. Michelle enters.]
MICHELLE: I
know the rules. I know that I work for you and if you fire me I wouldn’t blame
you.
TONY: This
isn’t about me firing you, Michelle. This agency is supposed to be supporting
the President of the United States and the rest of this country. Now, if I
can’t account for our agents actions then all we’ve got is chaos.
MICHELLE: Jack
is in an impossible situation. All I was trying to do was help him get the
proof that the Cyprus audio is a forgery.
TONY: Yeah?
Well, where’s the proof? We don’t have any proof. We don’t have Jack. He doesn’t
wanna be found. (Pause) What do you want from me, Michelle?
MICHELLE: I
just wanted to say I’m sorry.
TONY: Yeah,
well…you’ve said it. If you don’t mind, I got work to do, alright?
[Michelle leaves.
Tony watches her go back to her desk.]

[Shot of Palmer
being briefed by a Military Sergeant.]
SERGEANT: Our
planes are currently over the Atlantic. The first of them will be reaching
their targets in just under three hours.
PALMER: Pilots
communication posture?
SERGEANT: Tom
is open to them. The planes can be ordered back at any time.
PALMER: Good.
SERGEANT: Sir?
I don’t know if anyone’s told you, but as soon as we can lock this mission
down, the more comfortable the Joint Chiefs are gonna be with it.
PALMER: Well,
my job’s not to make the Joint Chiefs comfortable. Thank you. That’ll be all.
SERGEANT: Yes
sir.
[The Sergeant
leaves. Lynn and Mike come in.]
NOVICK: Mr.
President. There’s been a development in Marietta. National Guard took on
a more aggressive posture at our request, but the disturbance got to be more
then they can handle.
PALMER: What
happened?
LYNN: Two people
were killed, sir. The National Guard started shooting rubber bullets into
the crowd and there were two fatal hits. One of the victims was a leader of
the descent and, um…
PALMER: And?
LYNN: And the
other was a young boy, sir. He was Middle Eastern and he was from one of the
families that we were trying to protect.
[The President
stands and paces in guilt.]
PALMER: What’s
going on now?
NOVICK: They’ve
made some arrests, but the crowd is still unruly. And we might want to think
about taking a step back. Maybe the presence of the National Guard is making
matters worse?
LYNN: If we
step back now those families are left completely unprotected.
NOVICK: Yeah.
PALMER: A young
boy. What was his name? The boy?
LYNN: I don’t
know, sir.
PALMER: Well,
the boy had a name. Find out.
LYNN: Indeed
I will, sir.
[Lynn exits.
Palmer looks furious. Mike goes over to him.]
NOVICK: It
was a tragic accident.
PALMER: Tell
the National Guard to hold their ground.
[Mike nods.]
PALMER: I want
that neighbourhood protected. I want order restored.
NOVICK: Yes
sir.
[Mike exits.]

[Shot of Jack
washing the blood of his hands at the Urgent Care Centre. The doctor is putting
X-rays on a scanner. Jack goes over to him. He points to an object on the
X-ray.]
DOCTOR: There’s
the bullet. Missed the jugular but still caused a lot of damage.
[Shot of a
female doctor working on an unconscious Wallace.]
JACK: What
can you do?
DOCTOR: I might
be able to tie off the bleeders but you can’t get that bullet out unless he
goes into surgery.
JACK: We don’t
have time for that.
DOCTOR: I gotta
tell you; I don’t feel comfortable with this. They can shut me down. I’m not
authorized to perform procedures like this.
JACK: Doctor,
I can guarantee you that that won’t happen. I need you to do this now.
DOCTOR: Would
you at least tell me what this is all about?
JACK: It has
to do with the bomb that went off earlier this evening. I’m sorry; I can’t
tell you more then that.
DOCTOR (sighs):
Alright. I’ll see what I can do.
JACK: Thank
you.
[The Doctor
goes over to Wallace.]
DOCTOR: Give
him some Veracet so I can work on him.
JACK: No, don’t
sedate him. I need him to be able to talk. Just numb the area around the wound.
[The two doctors
look at each other. The male one nods at the female. Wallace looks at the
female nurse.]
WALLACE: Don’t
worry beautiful. I been worse than this.
DOCTOR: Please
get me some four by fours.
NURSE: I’ll
get them.
YOUSEF (to
Jack): He’s gonna die.
JACK: We better
hope he doesn’t.
KATE (into
phone): Okay, and it’ll depart at three-forty-five? That’s be great. Thank
you.
DOCTOR: Start
the incision.
[Kate hangs
up and goes to Jack.]
JACK: Is he
on?
KATE: Yeah,
they gave us a departure time of three-forty-five.
JACK: Good.
KATE: He’s
not gonna give you any information until we’re off the ground.
JACK: I already
told you, Kate, I’m not letting you get on that plane. All he wants to do
is get outta the country. As soon as we get him to the airport; he’ll give
us the information we need. The rules have changed.
[They all watch
the doctor.]
DOCTOR: Hold
still.
WALLACE: It’s
done. It’s done.
DOCTOR: It’s
not done. Please lie still or I’ll have to sedate you.
WALLACE: I
said I’m done. Get the hell away from me.
[Wallace shoves
the doctor away.]
DOCTOR: Where’s
the Veracet now?
JACK: Wait!
[Jack goes
over to Wallace.]
WALLACE: Jack.
JACK: What?
WALLACE: Jack,
I’m not gonna make it. I can feel it.
JACK: Wallace,
tell me where the evidence is now.
WALLACE: It’s…Its
on the memory chip. Two AIF files. Source recordings…pr…prove the Cyprus audio
is fake.
JACK:
Where’s the memory chip?
WALLACE: It’s….insi…inside.
JACK: Inside
what? Inside where? Come on, Wallace, inside where?!
[He collapses.]
JACK: Doctor!
DOCTOR: He’s
in V-fib!
[The doctor
checks Wallace.]
JACK: No pulse.
FEMALE DOCTOR:
We’re at two hundred joules.
NURSE: Here
you go, doctor.
[The Doctor
warms up the heart paddles.]
DOCTOR: Charging.
One, two, three, clear!
[The doctor
shocks Wallace.]
DOCTOR: Still
in V-fib. Charging. One, two, three, clear!
FEMALE DOCTOR:
Clear.
[He shocks
Wallace again.]
DOCTOR: Still
in V-fib. Charging. One, two, three, clear!
FEMALE DOCTOR:
Clear.
[He shocks
Wallace again. The heart monitor flat lines. The doctor turns to Jack.]
DOCTOR: He’s
dead.
YOUSEF: Jack,
what are we gonna do?
JACK: I don’t
know. I don’t know.
[Jack leans
on the bench with the X-above it and puts his head in his hands. The shot
eases out to a corner of the screen.]

[Shot of the
everyone at the District Headquarters watching on a screen the planes traveling
towards the Middle East.]

[Ease in shot
of Jack at the medical centre. He notices something on the X-ray and looks
over at Wallace. He rips the covers off him and sees a scar on his rib cage.
The same place that the X-ray shows a little metal object. He grabs a scalpel
and cuts into the scar.]
DOCTOR: What
are you doing? What are you doing?!
[Jack reaches
into Wallace and pulls out the chip.]
JACK: We got
it.
