JACK BAUER Voice over: The
following takes place between 2:00 p.m. and 3:00 p.m.
FADE OUT
INT. CTU - JACK'S OFFICE
(We see a picture of KIM on
JACK'S desk. He is working at his computer. Distracted he keeps looking up. He
gets up, and crawls along the floor to a bin placed against the wall. He cleans
up the remains from the smashed up syringes. He finds one vial of heroin and
places it back in his medical kit.)
INT. CTU - MEETING ROOM
(A number of people are sat
around a table, including TONY ALMEIDA and MICHELLE DESSLER. White House Chief
of Staff, WAYNE PALMER is on a live feed.)
WAYNE PALMER: The President's not gonna make any decisions until he
knows what we're dealing with, so give me all the parameters Tony.
WAYNE PALMER: Well basically what we have here is a terrorist demand.
Someone close to Ramon Salazar, we're guessing his brother Hector is demanding
his release. If we don't comply, he's threatening to initiate the outbreak of a
very deadly, fast acting virus.
WAYNE PALMER: How do we know if these people really are in possession
of it?
TONY: Wayne, I've got Doctor Sunny Macer on the line. She is technical
director of National Health Services, We'll let her address that.
(DR MACER appears on the
live feed.)
DR MACER: Mr Palmer, about an hour ago, a body was anonymously
delivered to our office. It was infected with a type three pneumonic virus,
deliberately introduced to its system. This virus kills within 24 hours of
exposure, and there's no known antidote or vaccine. What's particularly
disturbing is how fast it spreads. Take a look.
(The head of a white, blond
male appears on the live feed.)
DR MACER: As you can see, it's latent for several hours, but once the
symptoms present it consumes the host pretty rapidly.
MICHELLE DESSLER: Our office will be sending you preliminary
projections of casualties, in case something like this should be unleashed.
TONY: And Wayne, I gotta tell you, it's pretty bleak.
WAYNE PALMER: I don't understand this. I mean I thought we knew what
biological threats were out there. How do we find ourselves up against the wall
so suddenly with something that isn't even on our radar.
DR MACER: This is a strain we've never seen. The autopsy is confirming
that someone has engineered this virus to kill ten times faster than its
ordinary genotypes.
WAYNE PALMER: Ok. Ok I see.
DR MACER: Sir, I can't underscore enough how potentially devastating it
could be if this virus were released by terrorists.
TONY ALMEIDA: Given this information, what options will the President
be looking at?
WAYNE PALMER: It's the unwavering
policy of the United States to stand firm against any terrorist advance.
Now I know the President, Tony. He will not free Salazar. No matter what the
threat.
TONY ALMEIDA: Alright, then we can't waste any time on standard
protocol today. We've been given five hours to comply. If we're gonna find
these people and stop this threat, than CTU has to have every possible resource
at it's disposal.
WAYNE PALMER: You'll have it.
TONY ALMEIDA: Alright, now if we have nothing left to discuss I'd like
to get my team back to work.
WAYNE PALMER: Understood.
TONY ALMEIDA: Thanks.
INT. CTU - KIM'S DESK.
Kim is sitting at her desk. She picks up the phone and dials a number..
JACK BAUER: Bauer
KIM BAUER: Dad, it's me.
JACK BAUER: What Kim?
KIM BAUER: Adam and I just found something on Goss. We're working it up
now, we should have an address for you pretty soon.
(Screen splits into two,
JACK BAUER at the top, KIM BAUER at the bottom.)
KIM BAUER: And, uh, dad, remember I want to talk to you.
JACK BAUER: Why, is something wrong?
KIM BAUER: No, I was just wondering if I could come up for a few
minutes. It's something personal.
(CHASE EDMUNDS is at the
door. JACK motions for him to come in.)
JACK BAUER: Honey, right now is not a good time. As soon as I've got a
moment I'll come down, Ok?
KIM BAUER: Yeah, thanks.
(KIM BAUER hangs up.)
JACK BAUER: We're getting close to Goss.
CHASE EDMUNDS: You didn't shoot up did you?
JACK BAUER: What?
CHASE EDMUNDS: You think you can hide it from me?
JACK BAUER: I'm not trying to hide it from you, I'm trying to quit
CHASE EDMUNDS: Ok, people don't just quit Jack!
JACK BAUER: I've been tapering off. Ok, now it's time to stop.
CHASE EDMUNDS: Doesn't look like it's time. Today's not a good day for
you to be needing a fix.
JACK BAUER: Why don't you go work with Chloe and see if you can pin
down a location on Hector Salazar?
CHASE EDMUNDS: What’s wrong with the methadone programme? Ok, it takes
a little time, but it works.
JACK BAUER: I am not going on record with this addiction, do you
understand me? As of now you are the only person that knows about it and it's
gonna stay that way.
CHASE EDMUNDS: This is nothing to be ashamed of, you did this in the
line of duty. Doing junk was the only way you could get close to Salazar,
nobody's gonna knock you for that.
JACK BAUER: I know what I did Chase. This conversation is over, just
get back to work.
CHASE EDMUNDS: Yeah...
(JACK BAUER leaves his
office. CHASE EDMUNDS follows.)
INT. CTU - CHLOE O'BRIAN'S
DESK
(CHASE EDMUNDS walks past.)
CHLOE O'BRIAN: Chase?
CHASE EDMUNDS: What?
CHLOE O'BRIAN: I was just looking at playback at the House Services
briefing.
CHASE EDMUNDS: What about it?
CHLOE O'BRIAN: The government’s not gonna let this happen, are they? I
mean, Salazar's just one person, no matter how bad he is.
CHASE EDMUNDS: Forget about all that Chloe. We need to operate under
our orders and that is to find the carrier of this virus.
CHLOE O'BRIAN (disgusted):
Find the carrier? In the next four hours? Come on Chase, that's not likely is
it?
CHASE EDMUNDS: Not if we sit here and debate it. Weren't you supposed
to find a modified list of Goss' associates?
CHLOE O'BRIAN: Kim's bringing it up now.
CHASE EDMUNDS (looks over to JACK
BAUER): Great. You can go over the autopsy report. See if there's anything
we overlooked.
CHLOE O'BRIAN: Fine.
(CHASE walks away.)
INT. CTU - CHASE EDMUNDS'
DESK
(KIM BAUER walks up to the
desk.)
KIM BAUER: Here are the files on Goss.
(She hands him the files. He
takes them and leafs through them.)
CHASE EDMUNDS: I heard you talking to your dad when I was in his
office. Why do you want to tell him today?
KIM BAUER: 'Cos it's not a big deal.
CHASE EDMUNDS: Well it is a big deal. Not only do I work for him but
I'm also a field agent. It's the last thing he wants for he daughter.
KIM BAUER: How do you know that?
CHASE EDMUNDS: I know, ok? I mean, he talks about things. (pause) About how he's never there for you, or your mom. Ok, he doesn't
believe a field agent can have a relationship outside work.
KIM BAUER: Well did you ever stop to think that maybe it would make him
happy? That his daughter's found someone she loves?
CHASE EDMUNDS: Look, I love you too. Ok, I just don't think today's a
good day.
CHLOE O'BRIAN (calling from down
the hall.): Chase, I need you to copy me on that list.
CHASE EDMUNDS (to KIM BAUER):
Ok, what’s the calling key off that?
KIM BAUER: Um, that’s Family and that’s Legal
CHASE EDMUNDS: Ok, great.
(KIM BAUER walks away.)
INT. CTU - JACK BAUER'S
OFFICE
(KIM BAUER walks up to JACK
BAUER'S office and knocks. She then stands at the door.)
KIM BAUER: Hey dad.
JACK BAUER: Hey sweetheart.
KIM BAUER: You alright?
JACK BAUER: Yeah, why, what’s going on?
KIM BAUER: Chase said you were really stressed out.
JACK BAUER (nervous):
Stressed? What do you mean stressed?
KIM BAUER: Salazar, the terrorist threat…
JACK BAUER (relieved): Yeah…
Yeah, but I think we're gonna get it under control, we just got a lot of work
to do.
KIM BAUER: Listen, can I talk to you now?
JACK BAUER: Yeah, sure, come on in. Have a seat.
(KIM BAUER walks into the
office. He closes the door behind her)
KIM BAUER: After all we've been through, I find it very difficult to
keep things from you.
JACK BAUER: Ok, what’s up?
KIM BAUER: Chase and I have been going out for a while. It's starting
to get serious.
(JACK BAUER looks across to
CHASE EDMUNDS' desk.)
KIM BAUER: I mean, I think he wanted to be the one to tell you, but,
uh, he was worried that it would cause a problem between you two.
JACK BAUER: I see. How long have the two of you been seeing each other?
KIM BAUER: Three months. I really care for him dad. (pause) So what do you think?
JACK BAUER: I don't know what I think. I'm really surprised. I'm sorry
if I'm a little distracted with everything that’s going on today but…
KIM BAUER: I know. Forget it. I just had to let you know.
JACK BAUER: I'm glad you told me though.
KIM BAUER: Ok.
JACK BAUER: I love you.
KIM BAUER: Me too.
(KIM BAUER leaves the
office.)
INT. CTU - CHASE EDMUNDS'
DESK.
(CHASE EDMUNDS is stood up
next to his desk. KIM BAUER walks up to him.)
KIM BAUER: I told him.
CHASE EDMUNDS: What'd he say?
KIM BAUER: Nothing.
(KIM BAUER walks away. CHASE
EDMUNDS looks over to JACK BAUER'S office.)
INT. CTU - MICHELLE
DESSLER'S DESK
(The phone rings. MICHELLE
DESSLER picks up.)
MICHELLE DESSLER: Dessler.
DR MACER: Michelle, it's Sunny. I think I've found something that may
be helpful to you guys.
MICHELLE: What's that?
DR MACER: We found something odd in Goss' system. We found an
unmetabolised virus particle. I'll skip the techno-babble. Bottom line, it
looks like the virus was delivered in a crystalline form. It may be what you're
looking for, a white powder.
MICHELLE DESSLER: So… it would look like a bag of cocaine or heroin?
DR MACER: Yeah, that may even be the strategy. Someone thinks they're
selling a bag of coke when actually they're handling a virus.
EXT. SWIMMING POOL
(KYLE SINGER'S friend, TIM,
climbs out of the pool.)
TIM: Look Kyle, I'm not gonna do it, ok? I don't care how much you pay
me, it's dealing drugs.
KYLE SINGER: You're my best friend,
come on, you've got to come through for me.
TIM: You should have talked to me before you went down to Mexico and
bought a bag of coke.
KYLE SINGER: I'm not asking you to do anything but wait in the car
alright, I'll make the delivery.
TIM: No, I'm not gonna do it, I'm not gonna go with you.
KYLE SINGER: Fine.
(KYLE SINGER'S mobile phone
rings. He picks up.)
KYLE SINGER: Yeah?
ZACH: Kyle, it's Zach.
KYLE SINGER: Zach, hey. What's up? Hold on a second man.
(Two GIRLS who were in the pool climb out and question TIM.)
GIRL1: Who's Zach?
TIM: No one.
GIRL2: Yeah, what's with you guys today, everything's a secret.
TIM: He's got family stuff to deal with.
(We see KYLE SINGER climbing
up stairs, heading inside.)
KYLE SINGER: What's going on man?
(Screen splits into two,
ZACH on the left, KYLE SINGER in the right.)
ZACH: You tell me. You got the powder?
KYLE SINGER: Yeah, yeah, of course I do. What time you want me to drop
it off?
ZACH: Tonight, come around seven thirty.
KYLE SINGER: Seven thirty, yeah. Can we just go over one more time how
this whole thing's gonna go down?
ZACH (raising his voice): Go
over what? You drop of the coke, I give you the money. Is that too much to
handle?
KYLE SINGER: No! No, no. That's totally cool man.
ZACH: It better be.
(ZACH hangs up)
(The 24 timer comes up, and
goes from 02:09:26 to 02:09:28 before fading away.)
INT. CTU - JACK BAUER'S
OFFICE
(The phone rings. JACK BAUER
walks to it and presses the speakerphone button.)
JACK BAUER: Yeah?
(Screen splits into two,
JACK BAUER at the top, MICHELLE DESSLER
at the bottom.)
MICHELLE DESSLER: Jack, it's Michelle. We got a last known address on
David Goss, the infected body that was dropped off at Health Services.
JACK BAUER: How recent?
MICHELLE DESSLER: Two months.
JACK BAUER: Ok, have LAPD send over a perimeter team. Tell them hands
off until Chase and I get there.
MICHELLE DESSLER: Got it.
(They both hang up. JACK
BAUER walks to the window of his office and calls out to CHASE EDMUNDS.)
JACK BAUER: Chase, lets go,
we're on.
(JACK BAUER walks down the stairs, CHASE EDMUNDS follows.)
CHASE EDMUNDS: You get an address?
JACK BAUER: Yeah.
INT. CTU - CHLOE O'BRIAN'S
DESK
MICHELLE DESSLER (to CHLOE
O'BRIAN): Make sure they understand, they are not to go in until Jack gets
there.
(TONY ALMEIDA walks up to MICHELLE DESSLER.)
TONY ALMEIDA: Peter just told me you got an address on Goss.
MICHELLE DESSLER: Yeah, bringing it over to Jack now.
TONY ALMEIDA: You sure there's nothing more recent?
MICHELLE DESSLER: We can spend another hour looking but there's no
guarantee we'll find anything better.
TONY ALMEIDA: We haven't got an hour to waste so, uh, put transmitters
on Jack and Chase. I wanna be analysing all their interactions so we can work
it up in real time.
MICHELLE DESSLER: Ok.
(MICHELLE DESSLER walks over
to JACK BAUER and CHASE EDMUNDS who are removing guns from a cabinet.)
MICHELLE DESSLER: Jack.
JACK BAUER: What you got?
MICHELLE DESSLER: This is everything we have on Goss. Here's the
address where he was arrested for dealing.
CHASE EDMUNDS: How recent?
MICHELLE DESSLER: Two months ago. It's all in the file, you can check
it on the way.
JACK BAUER: Good.
(KIM BAUER walks up to JACK
BAUER.)
KIM BAUER: Medical Kit Health Services had us put together for you. (to CHASE EDMUNDS) Be careful.
JACK BAUER (raising his voice):
Lets go Chase.
(JACK BAUER and CHASE
EDMUNDS head towards the CTU exit.)
EXT. CTU - ENTRANCE
CHASE EDMUNDS: We'll have to wait until we get there to see what the set-up
is. LAPD is locking it down for us. I know Kim told you about us, and I was
gonna tell you myself , I just couldn't find the right time. Thought you should
know. It's getting serious.
JACK BAUER (nodding): That's
what she said.
(JACK BAUER climbs into the
driver's seat of a black SUV, CHASE EDMUNDS climbs into the passenger seat.)
EXT. UNIVERSITY OF SOUTHERN
CALIFORNIA
DAVID PALMER: What did CTU have to say?
WAYNE PALMER: It could be a very dangerous situation. They sent me a
breakdown of what could happen if this virus is released, and it's not good.
DAVID PALMER: Give CTU carp-launch . Whatever they need, make sure they
get it. We should cancel the debate.
WAYNE PALMER: What?
DAVID PALMER: It's a mistake to continue prepping for tonight while
there's an imminent biological threat against this country.
WAYNE PALMER: First of all, we don't know that it's happening David,
and you know just as well as I do that we get threats every day…
DAVID PALMER: Not this one. They said the body was infected with a
weaponised virus.
WAYNE PALMER: Ok, lets say you're right. What do you really think you
could do if you put your full attention on it? CTU and the Pentagon are
handling this.
DAVID PALMER: I just want to make sure that you're not advising me out
of fear that my image will suffer if we cancel it.
WAYNE PALMER: It will suffer, but I still think the best thing to do is
to proceed as planned and respond when we have more information. Keeler's here.
(We turn to see JOHN KEELER
walking towards DAVID PALMER, surrounded by the media.)
WAYNE PALMER (turning to walk
away): Come on, lets go this way.
DAVID PALMER: I want a word.
(DAVID PALMER walks to meet
JOHN KEELER. They shake hands.)
DAVID PALMER: John.
JOHN KEELER: Mr President? You haven't come all the way down here just
to welcome me.
DAVID PALMER: No, it's no trouble.
(Meanwhile, WAYNE PALMER
walks off, following one of JOHN KEELER'S staff.)
JOHN KEELER: I spoke with your old friend Jacob Wesley yesterday about
a fundraiser.
DAVID PALMER: You stopped in South Dakota?
JOHN KEELER: Just for dinner.
DAVID PALMER: How's he feeling?
JOHN KEELER: Better, much better, even playing a few rounds of golf.
DAVID PALMER (laughing):That's
him. Well I don't want to have to keep you John, I know you've got a lot of
last minute cramming to do to survive this debate.
JOHN KEELER: I won't argue with you there, Mr President. Your resources,
compliments of the taxpayers. I
actually have to assemble the shoe-leather myself.
DAVID PALMER: Touché.
(We see WAYNE PALMER talking
with one of JOHN KEELER'S staff.)
JOHN KEELER: I'll see you inside.
DAVID PALMER: Certainly will.
(DAVID PALMER and JOHN
KEELER shake hands and walk away. DAVID PALMER calls WAYNE PALMER.)
DAVID PALMER: Wayne? We're ready.
(WAYNE PALMER walks toward
DAVID PALMER. They walk while they talk)
DAVID PALMER: What were you talking to him about?
WAYNE PALMER: I think we may have an opportunity.
DAVID PALMER: What kind of opportunity?
WAYNE PALMER: Not now, after.
EXT. ROAD ON THE WAY TO
GOSS' LAST KNOW ADDRESS
(JACK BAUER and CHASE
EDMUNDS are driving in the black SUV.)
CHASE EDMUNDS: I'm sorry if you think I'm not good enough for your
daughter, ok? But I can't help the way I feel.
JACK BAUER: Chase, why do you think I put Kim in CTU? Behind a desk,
working on a computer? So I just can keep an eye on her, make sure she's safe. (raises voice) Not so she can start
dating some Field Agent!
CHASE EDMUNDS: You're talking about her like she's twelve years old,
she's a grown woman.
JACK BAUER: Damn it Chase, you've seen what this job can do to you.
You've seen what it's done to me, it's ruined every relationship I've ever had.
CHASE EDMUNDS: That's you Jack
JACK BAUER (angry): No! No!
It's the job.
CHASE EDMUNDS: I don't think so.
JACK BAUER: You don't think so? What the hell do you know? My wife died
because of this job, and I almost lost Kim too, I'm not gonna let that happen
again. I will do everything I have to to protect her do you understand me?
Everything. (sighs) Damn it Chase,
you cannot have a normal life and do this job at the same time.
CHASE EDMUNDS: You saying I shouldn't have a relationship with anyone?
JACK BAUER: That's exactly what I'm saying. (pause) Especially with my daughter.
(JACK BAUER'S mobile phone
rings. He picks up.)
JACK BAUER: Bauer.
ANNICON: Jack it's Lewis.
JACK BAUER: What's up?
ANNICON: You tell me. Tried to move Salazar back to solitary but there
was a lock on it from Division. What's that all about?
JACK BAUER: I can't tell you right now.
ANNICON: Jack, the bastard murdered his attorney right in front of us.
What the hell is Division doing protecting him?
JACK BAUER: They're not protecting him.
ANNICON: Then what?
JACK BAUER: I can't get into it right now.
ANNICON: Can't go into it? You're not the only one who gave up a chunk
of his life to put this guy away. I need to be in the loop Jack.
JACK BAUER: This information doesn't go anywhere after you hang up the
phone.
ANNICON: What?
JACK BAUER: Salazar might walk.
ANNICON: Walk? What you talking about?
JACK BAUER: Look, I don't think it's gonna get to that, but someone on
the outside's got a lot of leverage.
ANNICON: Who?
JACK BAUER: I think it's his brother Hector.
ANNICON: I don't believe this.
JACK BAUER: Just hang tight, I'll get back to you as soon as I can.
(JACK BAUER hangs up and
looks over at CHASE EDMUNDS.)
JACK BAUER: You better start thinking about what we're gonna do when we
get there. We'll talk about this later.
CHASE EDMUNDS: Fine.
INT. PRISON
ANNICON (motioning to a cell door
to the guards): Open the door.
(ANNICON, followed by two
guards, walks down a long hallway lined with cells and stops at RAMON
SALAZAR'S. The cell door opens. Ramon gets out and shouts something in Spanish
at ANNICON. A guard pushes him up against a cell wall.)
ANNICON: No I haven't found your new lawyer. I've got an execution
date.
RAMON SALAZAR (mockingly):
Someone's not happy…
ANNICON: What do you know Ramon?
RAMON SALAZAR: What about?
(ANNICON nods to a guard,
who slams his truncheon into RAMON SALAZAR'S stomach, who bends over in pain,
winded.)
ANNICON: Talk to me.
RAMON SALAZAR: Talk to you about what?
ANNICON: What is your slime ball brother trying to do?
RAMON SALAZAR: Hector? Have you heard from him? His birthday's coming
up next week. I don't even know what to get him.
ANNICON: You keep talking trash. You're not going anywhere.
RAMON SALAZAR: Maybe not, but let me assure you of one thing. If
something does happens, and I am unexpectedly allowed to go free, I have no
doubt that you'll come looking for me. Especially after the death of your wife,
Elise, and you two boys. What are their names? Thomas and Christian?
(ANNICON lunges at RAMON SALAZAR and strangles him.)
(The 24 timer comes up, and
goes from 02:20:26 to 02:20:28 before fading away.)
INT. UNIVERSITY OF SOUTHERN
CALIFORNIA
(WAYNE PALMER is on the
phone with TONY ALMEIDA.)
WAYNE PALMER: You're expecting no follow up phone call from the
terrorist?
TONY ALMEIDA: No
WAYNE PALMER: So basically there's nothing we need to report to the
President.
TONY ALMEIDA: No, not till I hear from Bauer. He's following up on the
Goss lead right now.
WAYNE PALMER: Alright Tony, thanks.
(WAYNE PALMER hangs up.
DAVID PALMER walks up to him.)
WAYNE PALMER: Well that went well.
DAVID PALMER: Yes, it did. So what's the latest?
WAYNE PALMER: Nothing new, CTU's working up leads, trying to work out
who dropped the dead body.
DAVID PALMER: Still don't know who's behind this threat?
WAYNE PALMER: No. They're still speculating that it's Salazar's
brother, Hector. What they don't know is if it's a bluff staged to release
Salazar.
DAVID PALMER: How can it be a bluff? The virus has been confirmed.
WAYNE PALMER: Yes, but dropping off a dead body's one thing, aiming to
infect an entire city, that's something different.
DAVID PALMER: Alright. I guess we'll know soon enough.
(WAYNE PALMER walks off.
DAVID PALMER calls him back.)
DAVID PALMER: Hey wait. You spoke earlier about an opportunity…
WAYNE PALMER: Yeah... Yeah, I'm not really sure that's something we
need to discuss right now.
DAVID PALMER: Which means whatever it is fell through, or you know I'm
not going to like it so you're proceeding without me.
WAYNE PALMER: No, that's not it. I just think that because of this
threat, I don't want to divert your attention.
DAVID PALMER (grinning): I
can walk and chew gum at the same time. What is it?
WAYNE PALMER: Keeler's playbook… what if I can get us a copy?
DAVID PALMER: What exactly do you mean by "playbook"?
WAYNE PALMER: His entire prep for tonight’s debate. How he's gonna
answer the questions, what issues he's gonna try and trip you up on…
Everything.
DAVID PALMER: And how would we get it?
WAYNE PALMER: You don't need to know the details.
(The both look over to see
KEELER walking down some stairs.)
DAVID PALMER: I'm surprised.
WAYNE PALMER: About what?
DAVID PALMER: The question. You know there's no way on Earth that I
would ever agree to this.
WAYNE PALMER: David, I'm not… I am not talking about pulling a Sherry
and stealing it. Now it may just drop in our laps and if it does, why shouldn't
we look at it?
DAVID PALMER: Wayne, you are not in the private sector anymore. You
have to get used to how my administration works.
WAYNE PALMER: And I'm just trying to give your administration four more
years. (they look at each other for a while.)
WAYNE PALMER: Ok, if that's how you want it.
DAVID PALMER: That's how I want it.
INT. CTU - RESTROOM
(MICHELLE DESSLER is washing
her hands. KIM BAUER walks in.)
MICHELLE DESSLER: Hey Kim, you all caught up?
KIM BAUER: Pretty much, I just have to refresh the data on my dad's
panel.
MICHELLE DESSLER: Great.
KIM BAUER: Can I ask you a question about you and Tony?
MICHELLE DESSLER: Me and Tony what?
KIM BAUER: I don't know, I was just wondering, is it a problem working
with your husband in the same office?
MICHELLE DESSLER: No, no, it's not a problem. Why do you ask?
KIM BAUER: It's not a big deal.
MICHELLE DESSLER: No, we have a minute.
KIM BAUER: Well, I, uh, I've been dating Chase and I don't think my
dad's too happy about it.
MICHELLE DESSLER: Oh, I see. Well, um, look I'm sure your dad's just
trying to protect you but, ultimately, it's just between you and Chase.
KIM BAUER: Yeah, I know.
MICHELLE DESSLER: Right. Lemme know when you've finished those panels
ok?
KIM BAUER: Sure.
(MICHELLE DESSLER walks out.
KIM BAUER arranges her hair in the mirror.)
INT. CTU - GROUND FLOOR
(TONY ALMEIDA walks up to
MICHELLE DESSLER.)
TONY ALMEIDA: Hey, Analysis just called. They determined that if Hector
Salazar's orchestrating this bio-threat then he's probably operating on
Northern Mexico, so we're gonna need a list of his properties down there.
MICHELLE DESSLER: Chloe's working on that. She's going through the brief
files that Jack turned in after the bust.
TONY ALMEIDA: Alright, I'll talk to her. Also, uh, fire up all our
contacts down there just in case Hector was stupid enough to show his face in
the last couple of days, alright?
MICHELLE DESSLER: Ok.
EXT. NORTERN MEXICO - HECTOR
SALAZAR'S LOS NIEVES RANCH
(HECTOR SALAZAR is talking
on a mobile phone.)
GAEL: Yeah.
HECTOR SALAZAR: Is it still in place?
GAEL: Yeah.
HECTOR SALAZAR: And the President's been informed?
GAEL: Yeah, and he's not cancelling the debate.
HECTOR SALAZAR: He's got some cojones, I'll give him that. Let's see
what kind of a tough guy he is when there's a couple of million lives on the
line.
(HECTOR SALAZAR hangs up. He
looks over and sees CLAUDIA arguing with her father about her involvement with
HECTOR SALAZAR'S illegal activities.)
HECTOR SALAZAR: Claudia? What's going on?
CLAUDIA: Nothing, everything's fine.
HECTOR SALAZAR: Don't tell me 'nothing'. Why you argue with your
father?
CLAUDIA: Please Hector, it doesn't matter… He's not happy with how I
live my life.
HECTOR SALAZAR: You mean he doesn't like you being with me?
(HECTOR SALAZAR walks over
to CLAUDIA'S FATHER and they talk in Spanish. CLAUDIA'S FATHER looks nervous
and looks at the floor while they talk.)
HECTOR SALAZAR: Don't raise your voice to your father ever again.
(HECTOR SALAZAR slaps CLAUDIA, who slaps him back.)
CLAUDIA'S FATHER: Claudia, no!
CLAUDIA: How I conduct myself with my father is my concern, not yours.
(CLAUDIA starts to walk
away. HECTOR SALAZAR holds her back, smiles and kisses her.)
HECTOR SALAZAR: Good, now that's settled.
(HECTOR SALAZAR says
something and then walks back inside.)

TONY ALMEIDA: Almeida.
CHLOE O'BRIAN: Tony, it's Chloe, I just got off the phone with Jack,
they just arrived.
TONY ALMEIDA: Alright, is there a problem?
CHLOE O'BRIAN: Jack's not gonna use the transmitters.
TONY ALMEIDA: Why not?
CHLOE O'BRIAN: He says it would take too long to wire them up.
TONY ALMEIDA (sighing):
Whatever. Look, your running point from his side, any information he digs up I
want it right away, you got it.
CHLOE O'BRIAN: Uh, ok, you don't have to yell.
TONY ALMEIDA: No one's yelling, Chloe. Look, we got a body infected
with a deadly virus, somehow we have to tie it to Salazar in the next three
hours. Right now Jack's location is our only lead, so I need you to keep me up
to the minute. Understood?
CHLOE O'BRIAN: I already said ok.
TONY ALMEIDA: Good, then get on it.
EXT. OUTSIDE OF GOSS' LAST
KNOW ADDRESS
(JACK BAUER and CHASE
EDMUNDS walk up to a plainclothes officer.)
JACK BAUER: Detective Fisher?
DETECTIVE FISHER: Yeah, you Bauer?
JACK BAUER: Yeah. This is my partner Chase Edmunds. What's the
activity?
DETECTIVE FISHER: No one's gone in or out since we got here.
CHASE EDMUNDS: How's the inside layout?
DETECTIVE FISHER: Probably thirty people total, spread out on all
floors. The property owned by the case is the corner one there, on the third
floor.
CHASE EDMUNDS: You didn't go in there right?
DETECTIVE FISHER: Our orders were to stand down 'till you got here.
JACK BAUER: Good.
DETECTIVE FISHER: How much backup you want?
JACK BAUER: None, right now I just want your men to cover the exits.
DETECTIVE FISHER: None? There's thirty scumbags in there.
CHASE EDMUNDS: Yeah, we don't want to set off any alarms. Two of us can
snake in without a fight.
DETECTIVE FISHER: You sure about that?
JACK BAUER: Yup.
JACK BAUER (handing DETECTIVE
FISHER a radio): Keep this open on Channel One, we'll let you know when we
want you to come in. (to CHASE EDMUNDS)
You ready? Let's go.
CHASE EDMUNDS: You got it.
(The 24 timer comes up, and

INT. BUILDING OF GOSS' LAST
KNOWN ADDRESS
(JACK BAUER and CHASE
EDMUNDS walk down the hallway of a building, passing rooms filled with people
taking drugs.)
MAN: This area's not open to the cops.
JACK BAUER: Just take it easy sport. We're not here to take anyone
down, we just want a little information.
(The MAN reaches out to JACK
BAUER, CHASE EDMUNDS punches him in the stomach and pins him against the wall.
CHASE EDMUNDS holds him there while JACK BAUER walks down the hallway, checking
the doors. The MAN shouts out something when JACK BAUER approaches a door. JACK
BAUER calls for CHASE EDMUNDS to come. CHASE EDMUNDS drops the MAN, and runs to
JACK BAUER, who kicks down the door. Both agents holding up guns. ZACH and
another MAN are on the other side of the door, hidden behind a couch. ZACH
shoots at JACK BAUER and CHASE EDMUNDS with a shotgun.)
JACK BAUER: Get back!
(JACK BAUER and CHASE
EDMUNDS retreat back into the hallway. Then CHASE EDMUNDS runs into a room and
hides behind a tipped table. JACK BAUER provides covering fire. CHASE EDMUNDS
manages to take out ZACH'S ACCOMPLICE. Whilst JACK BAUER and CHASE EDMUNDS are
reloading, ZACH runs out into the hallway.)
JACK BAUER: Chase, we got a runner.
(JACK BAUER cautiously
chases after him.)
JACK BAUER (to himself): Son
of a bitch!
(JACK BAUER goes down to the
floor below. ZACH runs across an intersection and shoots at JACK BAUER, but
misses. JACK BAUER runs after him, emptying his magazine. Eventually he manages
to hit ZACH, who falls to the ground. ZACH tries to reach for his gun but Jack
shoots it as a sign of warning.)
JACK BAUER: Don't even think about it.
ZACH (injured): I'm clean,
I've got nothing on me.
JACK BAUER: Shut up, stupid. You just fired at a federal agent. You
better start talking to me, or I will let you bleed to death right here on this
landing. (calling) Chase? I got him,
we're down here.
(CHASE EDMUNDS appears.)
CHASE EDMUNDS (into radio):
Hey Fisher, we're good, we got our suspect.
JACK BAUER (to ZACH): Who is
David Goss?
ZACH (struggling to speak because
of the pain): Goss is a dealer, I score from him sometimes.
JACK BAUER: Yeah well not anymore, he's dead.
ZACH: Ok, he's dead.
(JACK BAUER hold ZACH'S
throat.)
JACK BAUER: Don't be a smartass. Who was his supplier? (shouting) Who was his supplier? (to CHASE EDMUNDS) Chase?
(CHASE EDMUNDS leans into
ZACH'S thigh.)
ZACH (screaming in pain):
Ahh! No! Ow! A guy named Carlos Corretja! Ah! No! He works at a Tijuana.
JACK BAUER (to CHASE EDMUNDS):
Corretja is one of Salazar's mid-level distributors. (to ZACH) You doing
business with him?
ZACH: I'm supposed to call him tonight. Corretja wanted me to find a
mule. Someone clean, without a record.
JACK BAUER: What for?
ZACH: He wanted to move a small bag of coke across the boarder. It didn't
make any sense to me.
CHASE EDMUNDS: Why not?
ZACH: He paid ten grand to bring it up. Coke isn't even worth that
much.
JACK BAUER: Where's the bag of coke now?
ZACH: The guy who brought it across still has it.
CHASE EDMUNDS: What's his name?
ZACH: His name is Kyle, Kyle Singer.
INT. KYLE'S HOUSE
(KYLE looks out of the
window and see's the landlord talking to his mum.)
LANDLORD: You really aren't giving me any other choice.
(The LANDLORD hand's KYLE'S
MUM a piece of paper.)
KYLE'S MUM: What is, what is this?
LANDLORD: It's a final notice. You don't pay the rent by tomorrow
morning, eight am, I'm calling city services and they start the eviction
process.
KYLE'S MUM: Oh Don, don't do this, no, please. I'm gonna have it in a
couple of days.
(KYLE goes into his room and
takes some money from a bag. KYLE walks outside to his mum.)
KYLE'S MUM: Kyle.
KYLE: How much do you owe him mum?
KYLE'S MUM: Stay out of this.
KYLE: How much?
KYLE'S MUM: Eighteen hundred dollars. And don't you worry about it,
because your father is gonna talk to uncle Sanford.
(KYLE chases after the
LANDLORD. KYLE'S GIRLFRIEND gets up and looks in the bag where he took the money.
She spots the bag of cocaine.)
KYLE: Hey, eighteen hundred right? Here.
(KYLE counts out some money
and hands it to the LANDLORD.)
KYLE: Now if you have a problem, you talk to me or my dad, ok? Leave my
mum out of it. I expect a receipt in the mailbox.
KYLE'S MUM: Where did you get that money?
KYLE: It doesn't matter, ok? We needed it, I got it.
INT. CTU - GROUND FLOOR
TONY ALMEIDA: Alright, can I have everyone’s attention please? Everyone
should be working up the name Kyle Singer, alright? I want point sheets from
Department Heads on my desk in the next five minutes. Everything there is to
know about Kyle Singer I want it. Where he lives, where he works, and most
importantly, where he's likely to be right now. Also, keep an open channel to
Field Ops so that Chloe can forward anything that comes in back to Jack.
Alright? Let's go.
(The 24 timer comes up, and
goes from 02:47:18 to 02:47:20 before fading away.)
INT. KYLE'S ROOM
KYLE'S GIRLFRIEND: So this is how you're gonna help your family? By
dealing drugs?
KYLE: I'm not dealing 'em. Just a stupid delivery, alright? And it's
quick money, which my folks need right now.
KYLE'S GIRLFRIEND: Well where they gonna get the money to bail you out
of jail, Kyle?
KYLE: You're right it's stupid, and I know that, but I did it. I'm in
this now. (Barely audible) I'm in the
middle of this. I'm gonna make this delivery tonight alright? I promise it's
gonna be over, I promise you.
KYLE'S GIRLFRIEND: I'm not waiting 'till tonight, it's over now.
KYLE: What are you talking about?
KYLE'S GIRLFRIEND: I can't be with someone who does stuff like this.
I'm sorry Kyle.
(KYLE'S GIRLFRIEND walks out
of the room. KYLE calls after her.)
KYLE: No, Linda. Come on, Linda, please.
KYLE'S GIRLFRIEND; It's over KYLE.
(KYLE'S GIRLFRIEND leaves.
KYLE'S MUM appears at the doorway.)
KYLE'S MUM: Are you going to tell me what's going on?
KYLE: We just had a little disagreement, that's all.
KYLE'S MUM: Where did you get the money to pay Dom?
KYLE: Mum, forget about it please.
KYLE'S MUM: What's your dad gonna say when he finds out? He's not gonna
take "forget about it" as an answer.
KYLE: I don't know.
(KYLE walks back into his
room.)

Would you excuse us please?
(The MAN gets up and leaves
the room.)
DAVID PALMER: Sorry Anne, our schedule's been way off today.
ANNE: No, I, I thought you weren't able to join me for lunch so…
DAVID PALMER: I'm not, I only have a couple of minutes. I'm having your
security level upgraded. I'm gonna need your advice today.
ANNE: What's going on?
DAVID PALMER: What do you know about type three pneumonic viruses?
ANNE: Not a lot, they're fairly new, um, as far as I know, there are
several strains, most of them are fast acting and all are deadly.
DAVID PALMER: Someone's threatening to release a virus here in LA.
ANNE: Oh god.
DAVID PALMER: I need you to talk to a Doctor Sunny Macer, at National
Health Services.
ANNE: Yeah, I know Sunny, but David, do you think there's a remote
possibility that this thing is for real? You need to get out of Los Angeles.
DAVID PALMER: That's not possible. The debate is in little over than
two hours.
ANNE: No, don't tell me about the debate, you're talking about and
outbreak here in this city. This isn't something the Secret Service can protect
you against.
DAVID PALMER: I know, I know, and we are prepared to leave if the
situation warns it, but right now, I need you to talk to Doctor Sunny Macer and
learn everything you can about this thing.
ANNE: I will.

suspect into CTU, I want you to set up a white room for him now.
(JACK BAUER hangs up.)
JACK BAUER (to CHASE EDMUNDS):
I need you to take Parker down to CTU.
CHASE EDMUNDS: What about Kyle Singer?
JACK BAUER: I'm gonna take care of Singer, I want you to take care of
Parker.
CHASE EDMUNDS: Anyone can take him back to CTU and set him up. Come on,
I'm going with you to get Singer.
JACK BAUER: No, you're not.
(JACK BAUER turns and walks away.)
CHASE EDMUNDS: Why you trying to get rid of me?
JACK BAUER: I'm not trying to get rid of you, I still think that
Parker's got more information, I want you to get it out of him.
CHASE EDMUNDS: This about Kim? Are you punishing me for dating your
daughter?
JACK BAUER: You listen to me, if that kid's walking around with a bag
of cocaine that's got the virus in it, and he doesn't know it, I need to find
it and stop him from putting it into circulation.
CHASE EDMUNDS: Yeah I know, that's why I wanna help you.
JACK BAUER; Well you can't, it's too dangerous.
CHASE EDMUNDS: Too dangerous?
JACK BAUER; You can't have it both ways, Chase. My daughter loves you,
you wanna be with her, I've got to stop putting you in harms way.
CHASE EDMUNDS: You're kidding right.

across the table to DAVID PALMER.)

playbook.
DAVID PALMER: Damn it, I told you to drop that.
WAYNE PALMER: You just listen to me, if you don't wanna use it then
don't, but there is something you need to see.
DAVID PALMER: There's nothing I need to see.
(DAVID PALMER turns and
walks away.)
WAYNE PALMER: It's about Anne.
(DAVID PALMER stops walking
and turns around.)
DAVID PALMER: Keeler's too smart to play the race card or the
girlfriend card.
WAYNE PALMER: It's none of those, which is why I'm bringing this to
you. It's something that we didn't know about her. Something that, if true,
could… David, it could damage all of us. Just take a look at it.
