INT.
C.T.U. MAIN FLOOR
*
Rescue workers and firemen are all over the place. The fire Marshall is walking
around with Tony Almeida and George Mason. *
FIRE
MARSHALL: None
of these girders are stable. I can't guarantee
that they're gonna hold. Nothing behind this corded area is safe. I don't want
to see anyone in there, or I'll shut this building down. I don't care what the
Governor says.

* Michelle
Dessler is trying to get some equipment up and running. *
MICHELLE
DESSLER: No
don't even try that bank. The switches are destroyed. {AS SHE WALKS AWAY} See
if you can set up a generator line to the "A" island.
TECH
AGENT: I'm
on it Michelle.

* George
Mason walks over to the Paramedics that are trying to revive Paula. *
GEORGE
MASON: Progress
here.
PARAMEDIC:
We're trying
to bring her around using a combination of stimulants and hydrating fluids, but
it might make her more unstable.
GEORGE
MASON: We're
running out of time, so just wake her up.
*Tony
Almeida passes George. *
GEORGE
MASON: Where
are you headed?
TONY
ALMEIDA: To
follow up on a lead that just came in. There's an L.A. connection to Syed Ali.
GEORGE
MASON: Well
send somebody else. I need you here.
TONY
ALMEIDA: To
do what? Watch Paula die?
GEORGE
MASON: Tony,
we got to get the encryption codes out of her or we're gonna lose everything. We
can't let that happen today.
TONY
ALMEIDA: Yeah,
well, like I said, you got it covered. I'm going to follow up on this lead.
GEORGE
MASON: No, you’re
going to stay here and that's an order.
TONY
ALMEIDA: Look,
there's a Middle Eastern businessman in L.A. who's had contact with Syed Ali recently.
Now Ivers and Appell are dead. Who do you want me to send?
GEORGE
MASON: Be
reachable.
TONY
ALMEIDA: All
right.
* Tony
throws his bag over his shoulder, grabs Agent Richards and they leave the
building. *
C.T.U.
AGENT: Mr.
Mason? It's Jack Bauer for you.
GEORGE
MASON: Yeah,
put him through........Jack?
JACK
BAUER: George,
I got to Wald. I found out who commissioned him to take out C.T.U.
GEORGE
MASON: Who?
JACK
BAUER: It
was Nina Meyers.
GEORGE
MASON: Nina.
JACK
BAUER: She
was his connection to C.T.U.
GEORGE
MASON: It
doesn't make any sense. She's been in prison.
JACK
BAUER: Wald
approached her before we took her down. She sold him everything. Schematics,
Gate information, Personal data. All of this has to be connected to the nuke.
GEORGE
MASON: So
what, they bombed C.T.U. to cripple our response capability?
JACK
BAUER: Yes,
Look I've already called Chappelle.
GEORGE
MASON: You
what?
JACK
BAUER: I
couldn't find you George.
GEORGE
MASON: What
did he say?
JACK
BAUER: He
agreed we need to talk to her. He's having her transferred over to C.T.U. now
for questioning.
GEORGE
MASON: Look,
why don't you debrief at Division? It's a total disaster here.
JACK
BAUER: Well
what are you going to do about Nina?
GEORGE
MASON: I'll
take care of it.
JACK
BAUER: Don't
just hand her off to the F.B.I. George.
GEORGE
MASON: Forget
it Jack. You did a great job here, okay? Go find yourself somewhere safe.
{HANGS UP PHONE.}
GEORGE
MASON: Michelle,
can you get somebody to set up an interrogation room? We have somebody coming
in.
MICHELLE
DESSLER: Who?
GEORGE
MASON: Nina
Meyers.
MICHELLE
DESSLER: The
C.T.U. Agent that killed Jack's wife?
GEORGE
MASON: Yes.
I need as close to maximum security as I can get. I need three armed Agents
standing by.

INT.
OPERATIONS COMPLEX
*
President Palmer is listening in on a briefing from one of the United States
Army Generals *
GENERAL:
We've
reduced the likelihood on some of the targets. We are left with six probable
sectors.
*
The General turns on the screen showing a map of Los Angeles. *
GENERAL:
There's the
Harbor, Port of Los Angeles. It's one of the busiest ports in the world. A
strike there will knock out infrastructure.....
*
Lynne walks up to the President *
LYNNE:
I'm sorry to
interrupt, Mr. President. The Ambassador's just about to land.
PRESIDENT
PALMER: Has
there been any communication while he was en route?
LYNNE:
No, not
since this morning when it was decided he would come here.
PRESIDENT
PALMER: Is
he alone?
LYNNE:
No, he's
being accompanied by Farhad Salim. Their ranking intelligence officer.
PRESIDENT
PALMER: Get
me anything new we've learned about Second Wave since this morning.
LYNNE:
Yes sir.
PRESIDENT
PALMER: Oh
and Lynne?
LYNNE:
Yes sir?
PRESIDENT
PALMER: Is
Roger here yet?
LYNNE:
He's
upstairs. They're bringing him up to speed on Rayburn's dismissal.
PRESIDENT
PALMER: Good.
INT.
MEDICAL CENTER
*
Kim is waiting on Megan's condition as she spots a police car outside. She
freaks and starts to walk down the hallway. As she opens the swinging hallway
door, Gary Matheson is there. *
GARY
MATHESON: Everything
is going to be fine Kim. Tell you what. If you leave now, I'll tell the police
that it was a misunderstanding. If you don't, they’re going to arrest you.
KIM
BAUER: Arrest
me for what?
GARY
MATHESON: For
kidnapping my daughter.
KIM
BAUER: Where's
Carla?
GARY
MATHESON: As
soon as these officers talk to the doctors, Kim. It's going to be pretty
obvious that you’re the one that hurt her.
KIM
BAUER: That's
a lie and you know it. I would never hurt her. I've been protecting her from
you.
GARY
MATHESON: Well,
the only thing that can be proved, Kim is that you took Megan without our
permission.
KIM
BAUER: You
beat up your wife. Who's going to believe you?
GARY
MATHESON: Carla
will back me up. You know that. If you don't believe me you can call
her.................Go ahead Kim, Call her......You walk away while you have
the chance. Otherwise you’re going to jail.......Stay away from my family.
Don't ever come to my house again.
*
Kim makes the smart move and walks away as the officers enter the hallway. *
INT:
OPERATIONS COMPLEX
*
President Palmer is finishing up a call with Mike Novick, His chief of staff
who is on a plane to the operations complex. *
PRESIDENT
PALMER: {ON
PHONE} Look I wouldn't rule anything out Mike. If you co-opt local law
enforcement at this time the story could leak. That's one of my biggest
concerns. Roger just walked in. I'll talk to you when you land. {HANGS UP}
12:07:41......12:07:42......12:07:43......
ROGER
STANTON: Mr.
President. It's good to see you sir.
PRESIDENT
PALMER: Roger.
*
They shake hands as they walk toward and enter the President's office. *
ROGER
STANTON: I
can't tell you how disturbed I was with Eric's decision regarding CTU.
PRESIDENT
PALMER: Twenty
nine dead and counting.
ROGER
STANTON: It's
inexcusable sir. There will be a full investigation. Possible criminal charges.
PRESIDENT
PALMER: You
know I hate to meddle in your rice bowl, but on a day like today, I couldn't
wait for you to arrive.
ROGER
STANTON: Say
no more.
PRESIDENT
PALMER: Are
you all caught up on everything?
ROGER
STANTON: All
caught up sir. I'd like to talk to you about this meeting with the Ambassador.
PRESIDENT
PALMER: What
are your thoughts?
ROGER
STANTON: We
have everything to lose, nothing to gain.
PRESIDENT
PALMER: What
we have to gain is stopping a nuclear bomb.
ROGER
STANTON: This
meeting benefits only the other side. He wants to be able to say to the world “Look
we tried to stop the bomb." It's a ploy to gain access to our
intelligence. Nothing more.
PRESIDENT
PALMER: You
might be right. But I'm not as certain as you are. I'm going to meet with him.
ROGER
STANTON: Very
good sir.
INT:
CTU MAIN FLOOR
MICHELLE
DESSLER: Sir,
off duty Agents are finally arriving. Plus Division called. The chopper just
lifted off. Nina Myers is on board.
GEORGE
MASON: Good.
Let's set up the mobile video unit for the interrogation then.
*
Jack walks into the building. He looks around as he can't believe what he's
seeing. *
12:09:51......12:09:52......12:09:53......
GEORGE
MASON: Jack,
What the hell are you doing here? I sent you to Division.
JACK
BAUER: I
want to do the debrief here.
GEORGE
MASON: I'm
not going to mince words with you. Nina killed your wife. I don't want you
anywhere near her.
JACK
BAUER: George,
My goal is the same as yours. To stop this bomb. It makes more sense If I do
the debrief here because there's no information on the Wald operation at
Division. Please.
GEORGE
MASON: All
Right. Let me set you up with Knoll at uh Tech Support.
JACK
BAUER: What
about Ivers?
GEORGE
MASON: Dead.
JACK
BAUER: Clark?
GEORGE
MASON: Dead.
We lost a lot of good people Jack.
JACK
BAUER: I'll
get started on the debrief.
GEORGE
MASON: Do us
both a favor. Finish and go.
*
Jack walks toward a desk as the paramedic yells out for mason. *
PARAMEDIC:
She's awake.
You better move fast. I don't know how much time she has.
GEORGE
MASON: Paula,
its George Mason. Can you hear me?
PAULA
SCHAFFER: What
happened?
GEORGE
MASON: We
had a big explosion. Do you remember the encryption codes Paula? You’re the
only one who has them..........Stay with us Paula.
MICHELLE
DESSLER: Paula,
you were transferring files out to N.S.A. Do you remember that?
PAULA
SCHAFFER: Yeah.
MICHELLE
DESSLER: Well
the transfer didn't complete. They didn't have the source decryption key.
PAULA
SCHAFFER: The
source?
MICHELLE
DESSLER: Yeah,
the source key. That's right. The router was destroyed. Did you make a copy of
the source key before you sent it?
PAULA
SCHAFFER: {GAUGING}
Yeah.
GEORGE
MASON: What
is it?
PAULA
SCHAFFER: Sub
volume.
MICHELLE
DESSLER: Which
one Paula?
PAULA
SCHAFFER: Etudes.
MICHELLE
DESSLER: Come
on....come on..........That's it. That's it.....Got it.
GEORGE
MASON: Hey,
you did great. What you did just saved a lot of peoples lives. Go on get her
out of here.

The Paramedics wheel her out as her heart rate stops and Paula dies. *

BOB
WARNER: So
did you like the house?
KATE
WARNER: You
knew about it?
BOB
WARNER: Of
course. Why did you think I insisted on you going?
KATE
WARNER: Dad,
It's not that I think Reza doesn't love Marie. I just think if he's doing
something illegal.....
BOB
WARNER: Honey,
You don't know that.
KATE
WARNER: Well
I know that Ralph Burton found a transaction.
BOB
WARNER: Ralph
Burton is a P.I. The man could connect me to the Manson family if he looked
hard enough. Did they straighten out that business about lunch?

sir, I'm Tony Almeida from Los Angeles CTU. This is Agent Richards.
BOB
WARNER: CTU?
TONY
ALMEIDA: Counter
Terrorist Unit. I'm looking for Reza Naiyeer.
BOB
WARNER: What's
this all about?
TONY
ALMEIDA: Sir
It's a Government matter.
KATE
WARNER: A
Government matter?
TONY
ALMEIDA: I
just need to ask him a few questions.
BOB
WARNER: Mr. Almeida,
Right? My daughter hired a private investigator to do a background check on
Reza. It's been all cleared up.
KATE
WARNER: Actually
dad it hasn't been all cleared up.
BOB
WARNER: Can
this wait? You see that today is my other daughter Marie's wedding.
TONY
ALMEIDA: Look
I'm sorry for the bad timing but no it can't wait. Now I'm authorized to
interrogate Mr. Naiyeer. Are you going to take me to him, or do I have to find
him myself?
BOB
WARNER: Kate,
go find Reza.

Kate enters the kitchen and finds Reza unpacking lunch. *

Kate. What's up?

REZA
NAIYEER: Who
is he?
KATE
WARNER: He's
from the Government.
REZA
NAIYEER: The
Government?
KATE
WARNER: Counter
Terrorism Agency.
REZA
NAIYEER: What
are you talking about?
KATE
WARNER: That's
all I know.
REZA
NAIYEER: What's
this all about Kate?
KATE
WARNER: I
don't know.
REZA
NAIYEER: Marie's
in her room adjusting her dress. You just make sure she doesn't find out about
this.

Reza walks away into the hallway *

Naiyeer?

INT:
OPERATIONS COMPLEX. MEETING ROOM
*
The Ambassador and his ranking officer have arrived and are sitting down
talking to President Palmer, Roger Stanton, and Lynne. *
AMBASSADOR:
I want you
to know that since your conversation with the Prime Minister this morning, we
have taken four suspected members of Second Wave into custody. We have begun
interrogations.
PRESIDENT
PALMER: What
have you learned?
AMBASSADOR:
We are still
questioning them.
FARHAD
SALIM: As a
ranking security officer I can assure you that we are doing everything possible
to clamp down on this kind of activity
*
Roger Stanton reaches for some photos. *
ROGER
STANTON: These
satellite photos were taken over your country an hour ago. Doesn't look like
too much of a clamp down to me.
FARHAD
SALIM: We do
not have the resources that you do. Surely, even you can't tell me that you’re
aware of every single paramilitary compound currently operating in the U.S.
AMBASSADOR:
If this bomb
goes off Mr. President, and you don't believe that we did everything possible
to stop it, there will be heavy repercussions for my country. You have already
made that clear that you will have no choice but to retaliate against us. We
want to help.
PRESIDENT
PALMER: What
do you propose?
AMBASSADOR:
A mutual
exchange of intelligence.
PRESIDENT
PALMER: What
kind of exchange?
FARHAD
SALIM: We
need access to your files on Second Wave.
ROGER
STANTON: Our
files?
FARHAD
SALIM: Yes, anything.
Anything that pertains to suspected terrorism in our country.
PRESIDENT
PALMER: I'm
not sure how much intel it's in our interest to share with you at this time.
AMBASSADOR:
I understand
Mr. President, but be assured that we want to prevent this incident. We are
prepared for an exchange in both directions. We are willing to open up our
files to you as well.
PRESIDENT
PALMER: I'll
have to think about this Mr. Ambassador.
AMBASSADOR:
Of course.
PRESIDENT
PALMER: We
have prepared a room for you. You'll have our answer shortly.
AMBASSADOR:
Thank you Mr.
President.
*
The President and Ambassador shake hands as the ambassador and Farhad Salim
walk out of the room leaving the President alone with Roger Stanton and Lynne.
*
ROGER
STANTON: You
can't give him this information sir.
PRESIDENT
PALMER: Explain.
What's the downside?
ROGER
STANTON: We
have Agents in their country right now. Those files would expose their
identities.
PRESIDENT
PALMER: Fine,
Go through the files. Take out anything that would jeopardize our people.
ROGER
STANTON: It's
a dangerous precedent.
PRESIDENT
PALMER: We
can't worry about precedent. Not today. Not under the threat of a nuclear
attack.
ROGER
STANTON: I
guess my point is I don't trust the Ambassador. We can't ignore the possibility
that his country is supporting Second Wave.
PRESIDENT
PALMER: Lynne,
what do you think?
LYNNE:
I agree with
Roger. I think it’s too risky.

JACK
BAUER: Why

now.
JACK
BAUER: Sweetheart

today.
KIM
BAUER: Why
not?
JACK
BAUER: Something
bad is going to happen. Sweetheart just trust me.

Jack won't let her. *
MICHELLE
DESSLER: George
wanted me to find out if there's anything I can do to help.
JACK
BAUER: No,
thank you.
MICHELLE
DESSLER: I
could fill out that boilerplate stuff for you if you want.
JACK
BAUER: Michelle,
I know George wants me out of here. Take my advice; don't get caught in the
middle.

contacts, my background material, all my intel. I'll work with whoever you
want. Here or in the field. For that I want a full Presidential pardon. Third
party certification guaranteed in writing.

not going to fly.
NINA

PRESIDENT
PALMER: Jack
there's something else. I wanted you to hear it from me personally. It's about
Nina Myers. We're gonna have to grant her a shadow asylum.
JACK
BAUER: That
sounds like a pardon sir.
PRESIDENT
PALMER: It
is. Only a few people will ever know about it. She'll be deported to another
country............Jack I know how difficult this must be for you to hear. It
was a painful decision. As you know, she has information that can help us find
this bomb. I wish there was another way.
JACK
BAUER: So do
I sir.
PRESIDENT
PALMER: Let's
just through this day. Eventually we'll make it right.
