ALBERTA
GREEN: I'm sure my being here has been a big adjustment. I appreciate the hard
work and long hours you're all putting in. It's likely that Senator Palmer is
still in danger but we are making progress on several fronts.
[The
camera shows Senator Palmer getting into his limo and the motorcade taking off]
INT.
BACK TO GREEN
ALBERTA
GREEN: Our most promising lead continues to be Jack Bauer. Local and federal
law enforcements have made finding Bauer a priority. We're also trying to
locate the man who impersonated a photographer at the Senator's appearance this
morning. This man may have been involved with Bauer. I've told the agencies
we're working with to expect full cooperation from all of us.........Hopefully
we can repair some of the damage caused by Bauer's recent actions. Thank you,
that's all.
[Nina
walks away and calls Jack]
JACK
BAUER: Bauer.
NINA
MYERS: Jack!
JACK
BAUER: You were right. Kevin Carol showed up. He gave us the information we
need. I'm on my way to where Teri and Kim are being held now.
NINA
MYERS: Where?
JACK
BAUER: Somewhere in the North Valley. East of the 5 between Tampa and Reseda.
I'm coming up on some orange groves. Look I want you to activate the GPS
function on the palm pilot that you sent me, I need satellite photos so that I
can see what I'm going into.....Make sure they're hi res, I need to be able to
identify structures and personnel.
NINA
MYERS: Okay. I'm going to need a little time to download off the satellite. It
won't be a fresh image.
JACK
BAUER: Give me what you can, I'll wait.
NINA
MYERS: Jack…
JACK
BAUER: What?
NINA
MYERS: Green. She's still pushing everyone here to bring you in.
JACK
BAUER: I will turn myself in as soon as I know my family is safe.
NINA
MYERS: She thinks I've been in contact with you.
JACK
BAUER: Deny it. I'll back you up as soon as I can. Nina look I know you put
yourself on the line here…
NINA
MYERS: No one's twisting my arm, I’ve got to go.

TONY
ALMEIDA: You telling Green about this?
NINA
MYERS: Not until he gets them out.
TONY
ALMEIDA: What if he can't?
NINA
MYERS: I'm gonna have to live with my mistake.....Tony I appreciate your
looking the other way on this but you don't have to help me cover for Jack anymore.

life… believe me I feel sick.
KIM
BAUER: That's just it mom, I don't feel bad at all. I don't feel anything
except happy he's dead.
[Eli's
pager goes off]
KIM
BAUER: They're looking for him.
[Teri

JACK

ready to receive.
NINA
MYERS: Are you in yet?
JACK
BAUER: I'm just outside the perimeter.
NINA
MYERS: I see a dozen or so people on the ground. Some look like they're packing
guns.
JACK
BAUER: That looks right from here.
NINA
MYERS: There could be more people inside the buildings......Jack I think you
should bring Green into this. Come clean then she can send backup.
JACK
BAUER: I DON'T WANT BACKUP! Not until I know my family is safe.
NINA
MYERS: You cannot go into an armed camp by yourself.
JACK
BAUER: Nina, my family is being held because of me. If you bring C.T.U. into
this, they could make this another Waco. Send me the photos now.
NINA
MYERS: I'm sending.
JACK
BAUER: Thank you. I'll get back to you.

get in there, you'll never find them without me.
JACK
BAUER: You drive.
KEVIN
CAROL: Jack! If Gaines thinks for a moment that I brought you here, he'll have
no problem killing us both.
JACK
BAUER: Then we should avoid Gaines. Get in the car.

SENATOR
PALMER: I'm tired.
MIKE
NOVIC: It's something else. You've been off your game since you spoke to Carl.
SENATOR
PALMER: Carl's gonna stop the Kingsley story from coming out by cutting off her
source.
MIKE
NOVIC: Did Carl say how he planned to do this?
SENATOR
PALMER: No, he just said I'd better stay out of it.
MIKE
NOVIC: Maybe that's good advice. You don't think Carl would do something to
hurt Faragamo?
SENATOR
PALMER: You know Carl better than I do, you tell me.
MIKE
NOVIC: I think your being paranoid, but if you're really concerned I'll call
this therapist and tell him to be careful.
SENATOR
PALMER: I already tried, got his voice mail both times.
MIKE
NOVIC: You called him? Exposing yourself like that? For God sake David you're
running for president. What were you thinking?

NINA
MYERS: I'm working on the projected threat assessment.
ALBERTA
GREEN: I think you both know where Jack is, which means you're interfering with
a criminal investigation, harboring a fugitive.
NINA
MYERS: Jack is not a threat to Palmer.
ALBERTA
GREEN: How do you know that, if you haven't talked to him? Why is he still
missing?

where he is.

ALBERTA
GREEN: I'm just trying to help you Tony. See the situation clearly. Somehow
Jack Bauer is connected to the threat on Palmer. By not telling me you're
endangering the life of a U.S. senator who has a damn good chance of becoming
our next president..........................What's Jack doing Tony?
