{We open the next chilling hour with Janet York on the ground gasping for breath.}

{Dan and Rick get Kim back into the van.}

 

Kim Bauer: We have to go back.

Dan: There's no point she's dead.

Kim Bauer: You don't know that.

Rick: Hey take it easy.

Dan: You know what dude, you better start deciding whose side you're on.

Jack Bauer: Nina!

Jack Bauer: Nina I know your upset.

Nina Myers: Of course I'm upset Jack what do you expect?

Jack Bauer: I'm sorry. Look the reason why I had to leave the office is because I got a call from Walsh. He was meeting another one of our agents, Scott Baylor. He said he had evidence.

Nina Myers: That led you to me, I know Jack but you should of thought it through.

Jack Bauer: Nina listen to me. .............Richard Walsh is dead.

Nina Myers: What?

Jack Bauer: He was shot, I watched him die.

Nina Myers: What is going on?

Jack Bauer: He had proof that people within our own agency were involved in the hit on Palmer.

Nina Myers: Who?

Jack Bauer: I don't know yet. Before Richard died he gave me that keycard, I hope that's going to tell us. Jamey's trying to break it down now.

Nina Myers: You trust Jamey?

Jack Bauer: Walsh did. I trust you, which means the three of us have to work together. From this point forward we have to assume that we can trust no one else.

Nina Myers: I understand.

Jack Bauer: Work the card with Jamey; I have to make a call.

Senator Palmer: Carl, now I need you to find out the source of this story, not first thing in morning, now.

Carl: I understand but this can't be done over the phone, I have to make some calls.

Senator: It's five after three. I want to hear something by four.

Carl: David you got to let me…  {David hangs up}

 

Sherry Palmer: Where were you.

Senator Palmer: I went for a drive.

Sherry Palmer: A drive. Alone at this time of night?

Senator Palmer: I just needed to get away for a while.

INT. C.T.U.

 

Tony Almeida: Jack, I screened the passenger list. Something doesn't add up here.

Jack Bauer: What?

Tony Almeida: 2B. Manifest shows an empty seat.

Jack Bauer: So.

Tony Almeida: Well according to the ticket file, first class was full. Plus there was a waiting list. Why would the plane take off with an empty seat?

Jack Bauer: This is good. Let's work it. What time does Rayburn get in?

Tony Almeida: Six.

Jack Bauer: Phone him, wake him up, bring him in now.

 {Jack walks over to Nina and Jamey}

 

Nina Myers: We got something off the keycard. The encryption is complex but I've asked Jamey to work off sectors and she's managed to extract one.

Jamey Farrel: Just part of one really.

Jack Bauer: That's it, just an address? What's that got to do with Palmer?

Jamey Farrel: Doesn't say.

Jack Bauer: Crosscheck it with his schedule tomorrow.

Jamey Farrel: He's not going anywhere near it.

Jack Bauer: Has he been near it anytime since he arrived in Los Angeles?

Jamey Farrel: No.

Jack Bauer: How about previous visits, connections to family members, anything?

Jamey Farrel: I can check, it'll take time.

Jack Bauer: No, let's see what we can peel off, start in here.

Jamey Farrel: Still just the address on San Fernando road.

Jack Bauer: How long will it take you to access the next level, minutes or hours?

Jamey Farrel: Ah...Hours.

Jack Bauer: We don't have hours, I'll check out the address myself.

Nina Myers: You want some backup?

Jack Bauer: No I need you here.

Nina Myers: Jamey what's wrong?

Jamey Farrel: I can't access the encryption software.

Nina Myers: Phones are down too.........It's a lockdown.

Jack Bauer: It's Mason. Hide the keycard.  {Jack sneaks out}

 

George Mason: Hello Nina. These men are with internal investigations. You're now under official lockdown.

Nina Myers: By what authority?

George Mason: District office.

Nina Myers: We're trying to stop an assassination George. Can't you do anything better than this?

Tony Almeida: Somebody had to, Jack's out of control.

Nina Myers: Meaning what?

Tony Almeida: Two agents are down and Jack was there when it happened.

Nina Myers: You can't believe that he had anything to do with that.

Tony Almeida: To tell you the truth, I don't know what to believe.

Agent Pierce: We don't know. But I'm sure you’re aware that an airliner exploded about an hour and a half ago outside of L.A. No survivors.

Senator Palmer: Wanted to make sure you were all right. What are you doing up?

Keith Palmer: If I'm not sleeping by three, I'm not sleeping. I was going to watch some tube or something, want to join me?

Senator Palmer: Anything good on?
