JACK BAUER Voice over: The following takes place
between
FADE OUT
INT. CTU - MAIN FLOOR
(RYAN CHAPELLE and TONY ALMEIDA leave Interrogation
Room One and walk onto the Main Floor.)
RYAN CHAPELLE: So
you're telling me that Bauer's been playing a game with us all this time?
TONY ALMEIDA: It's
no game Ryan.
RYAN CHAPELLE: But
he's back under with the Salazars, and they trust him again?
TONY ALMEIDA:
That's what we're counting on, yeah.
RYAN CHAPELLE: I'm
your boss Tony; you should have come to me first.
TONY ALMEIDA: Look
Ryan, you'll understand everything once I've explained it to the President.
After that, if you feel like I've acted inappropriately, can do what you've got
to do.
RYAN CHAPELLE: I
will, count on it.
(CHLOE O'BRIAN walks up to TONY ALMEIDA. She is
holding a phone.)
CHLOE O'BRIAN: The
President's coming on the line.
TONY ALMEIDA:
Thank you.
(TONY ALMEIDA takes the phone.)
TONY ALMEIDA: Mr
President, this is Tony Almeida, director at CTU,
DAVID PALMER: Mr Almeida.
TONY ALMEIDA:
Thank you for taking my call Mr President.
DAVID PALMER:
You're also on with my chief of staff, Wayne Palmer. I was told this is an
urgent matter.
TONY ALMEIDA: Yes
Sir, it is. It's also fairly complex so I'll try to keep it as clear and
concise as I can.
DAVID PALMER: Go
on.
TONY ALMEIDA: Sir,
everything that's happened today from the infected body at Health Services to,
to Ramon Salazar's prison break has been part of an elaborate sting operation.
DAVID PALMER:
Sting operation?
TONY ALMEIDA: Yes
Sir, planned and executed by Jack Bauer, agent Gael Ortega and myself.
DAVID PALMER:
Elaborate Mr Almeida.
TONY ALMEIDA: Jack
Bauer wanted to fill you in on the situation himself sir.
DAVID PALMER: Jack
Bauer is a fugitive from the law.
TONY ALMEIDA: If
you'll indulge me Sir, there's a video file you should see.
DAVID PALMER: It's
on a designated CTU server; you can access the file with the passcode Delta
Three Delta Five Nine.
(WAYNE PALMER types the passcode into his computer, a
pre recorded video of JACK BAUER comes up on the screen.)
JACK BAUER: Mr President,
the fact that you are viewing this recording now means that I have successfully
completed the first phase of a secret operation. Contrary to what you've been
led to believe, the Salazars are not in possession of the Cordilla virus. The
idea that they are is a lie which
I promoted
deliberately in order to achieve a more important goal. Please Sir, let me
explain.
About a month ago I learned from a contact
that a group of scientists from the
I only managed to
get their interest when I suggested the Salazars as potential buyers. As long
as I could get the Salazars to agree, CTU would seize the virus as the sale
took place. Our goal was to remove the virus stockpile from the market place,
because Mr. President, is it without a doubt the most lethal threat we have
ever faced. With all of this hinged on me convincing the Salazars that I had
switched sides, and the only way to gain their trust was to break Ramon Salazar
out of prison. Mr President, I'm sorry for deceiving you, but I assure you it
was a benign deception and I assume complete responsibility for my actions.
Sir, if things went wrong, you would have been exposed, personally, legally and
politically and this was the only way I could see to avoid that risk, but now
it's time for you to know the truth and I'm asking you to allow CTU Director
Almeida to co-ordinate an interdiction with the military so we can take
possession of this virus and keep it from our enemies. Thank you Mr President.
(The video goes blank.)
TONY ALMEIDA: Mr
President?
DAVID PALMER:
Keeping me in the dark on a matter of national security is inexcusable.
TONY ALMEIDA: We
were trying to protect you sir.
DAVID PALMER: I
know what you were trying to do, and it was a mistake and you and your
colleagues will take responsibility for it when this is over.
TONY ALMEIDA: Yes
Sir, I understand.
DAVID PALMER:
Where's Bauer now?
TONY ALMEIDA: In
northern
DAVID PALMER: When
is this meeting expected to take place?
TONY ALMEIDA: In
the next few hours Sir. Mr President, I'm requesting your permission to
activate the interdiction plan.
DAVID PALMER:
Under the circumstances, I don't have a choice but to say yes Mr Almeida, but
even if this plan works flawlessly, you haven't heard the last of it.
(DAVID PALMER hangs up.)
DAVID PALMER: I
don't like decisions being taken out of my hands.
WAYNE PALMER: Well
David, some decisions you want to keep as far away from as you can.
DAVID PALMER: Not
this decision, it's too important. Jack Bauer had no right to keep me out of
the loop.
WAYNE PALMER: I
disagree. Bauer protected you as he should have. Now when this is all over,
you're probably going to have to punish him for form's sake, but while you're
punishing him, know this: he did do the
right thing.
INT. CTU - CONFERECNE ROOM
(All of CTU'S staff are filing out of the conference
room. MICHELLE DESSLER I about to leave when TONY ALMEIDA calls her back.)
TONY ALMEIDA:
Michelle, we need an extended network using protocol four, alright?
(MICHELLE DESSLER nods.)
TONY ALMEIDA:
Thanks.
(RYAN CHAPELLE walks into the room.)
RYAN CHAPELLE: I'm
not so sure this is going to work out well for you Almeida.
TONY ALMEIDA:
Maybe not, but right now I've got to help Jack get this virus, and I don't need
you looking over my shoulder, alright?
RYAN CHAPELLE: You
work for me, you don't give orders - you take them.
TONY ALMEIDA:
Yeah, except the President put me in charge of this particular operation. Now
if you object, give him a call. I may be wrong but I didn't get the impression
he's in the mood for any bureaucratical squabbling today. Ryan, just let me do
my job alright?
RYAN CHAPELLE:
I'll be watching.
(RYAN CHAPELLE leaves the room.)
INT.
(RAMON SALAZAR is standing in a room. HECTOR SALAZAR
and JACK BAUER walk in.)
HECTOR SALAZAR:
Are you ready to listen Ramon?
RAMON SALAZAR:
Alright, tell me how the man who betrayed us is now our friend.
HECTOR SALAZAR:
Bauer came to me with an opportunity.
RAMON SALAZAR: An
opportunity?
HECTOR SALAZAR:
Yes. To make more money than we have ever dreamed of. Bauer found out about a
virus that was coming on the market, these men who have it, they're from the
RAMON SALAZAR: How
much are they asking?
HECTOR SALAZAR: A
hundred million.
(RAMON SALAZAR laughs.)
HECTOR SALAZAR: Al
Qaeda pays ten times as much, North Koreans too. I made all the calls Ramon, I
have the virus all lined up. That's a billion dollars.
RAMON SALAZAR: How
do you know this virus is real?
HECTOR SALAZAR:
The Ukrainians gave us a demonstration. Bauer delivered one of the bodies to
Health Services in LA. He used it to scare the Americans into letting you go.
RAMON SALAZAR: The
scientists, where are they now?
JACK BAUER:
They're not far from here. I'm supposed to call their representative, a man
named Michael Amador, in the next hour.
RAMON SALAZAR:
What's in it for you Jack?
JACK BAUER:
Fifteen million dollars. Ramon, we don't like each other, but it doesn't mean
we can't do business together. I need your capital, and you need my access to
the virus.
RAMON SALAZAR: I
would never have thought that Jack Bauer was for sale. And I am not that sure
now.
JACK BAUER: A few
years ago my wife was killed because of my job; my daughter's never been the
same since. This last year, well you know what I went through to bring you in,
what did I get for it?
A pat on the back,
in the end a demotion, and a heroin habit. I'm tired of putting my ass on the
line for nothing. I'm done putting my ass on the line for nothing.
HECTOR SALAZAR (to RAMON SALAZAR): If you don't want
to go through with it, blow him away.
(HECTOR SALAZAR places his gun on the table in front
of RAMON SALAZAR.)
HECTOR SALAZAR:
But just remember, you're blowing away a billion dollars.
(RAMON SALAZAR lifts the gun to shoot JACK BAUER.
HECTOR SALAZAR pushes his arm and he misses.)
HECTOR SALAZAR:
No! No! Are you crazy?
(HECTOR SALAZAR pulls the gun from RAMON SALAZAR.)
RAMON SALAZAR: You
are crazy for trusting him! Give me the gun.
HECTOR SALAZAR:
No.
RAMON SALAZAR: Who
are you to refuse me? I run our business, not you!
HECOTR SALAZAR: If
not for me, me, you wouldn't even be here!
JACK BAUER: Like I
said, I have to call him within an hour. These men are not going to wait
around, there's too much at stake. You can either shoot me, or let me make the
call, but you better decide quickly.
(The 24 timer comes up, and goes from
INT. CTU - MAIN FLOOR
(TONY ALEMDIA is briefing CTU'S staff.)
TONY ALMEIDA:
Jack's transponder pinpoints his location somewhere east of Las Nieves, just
south of the border. Satellite photos show that it's some sort of ranch or
farm. Our units will hold a perimeter of ten miles. All communication will be
on a designated frequency and nobody makes a move unless it goes through me
first, alright? Chloe, I want you and Chase to provide tactical assistance.
Where is Chase?
MICHELLE DESSLER:
We're not sure, Chapelle ordered him back over an hour ago.
TONY ALMEIDA:
Alright, let me know when he gets back here. Now let me make this perfectly
clear, for the next few hours, all of our resources are dedicated to helping
Jack Bauer intercept this virus. Any questions? Alright, let's get back to
work.
(CTU STAFF all walk back to their working areas. KIM
BAUER walks over to TONY ALMEIDA.)
KIM BAUER: Tony. I
spoke to Chase.
TONY ALMEIDA:
When?
KIM BAUER: About
an hour ago. He is not coming back to CTU.
TONY ALMEIDA: What
are you talking about? I thought Chapelle gave him a direct order.
KIM BAUER: He
ignored it. He still doesn't really know what's going on; none of us did until
you spoke to the President. Chase still thinks my father was captured by the
Salazars.
TONY ALMEIDA: And
he thinks he's going in to rescue Jack?
KIM BAUER: Yes. He
knows about Las Nieves, he's on his way there right now, probably by plane.
TONY ALMEIDA: How
the hell did he find out about Las Nieves?
KIM BAUER: He said
he followed a lead.
TONY ALMEIDA: Damn
it, if he's goes in there he's gonna blow Jack's cover and we're gonna loose
this virus.
KIM BAUER: I know.
TONY ALMEIDA:
Alright, maybe I can get a hold of him.
KIM BAUER: Tony,
you won't be able to reach him.
TONY ALMEIDA: Why
not?
KIM BAUER: He's
gone dark.
INT. LAS NIEVES - HECTOR SALAZAR'S RANCH
(JACK BAUER is lying on a bed. He is sweating and
panting. CLAUDIA enters the room with some food.)
CLAUDIA: Hector
thought you might be hungry.
(CLAUDIA slaps JACK BAUER.)
CLAUDIA: Look at
you. You're pathetic. You're still a junkie aren't you? That's the only real
thing about you. It makes me sick to think that I ever believed you. You said
you'd take ma away from here, remember? Do you remember Jack?
JACK BAUER: Yes, I
remember.
CLAUDIA: Yeah…
There was one small thing you forgot to mention, you were a cop. But even that
wouldn't matter if you meant half the things you said to me.
JACK BAUER: I
meant everything I said to you.
CLAUDIA: Do you
think I am stupid? You were doing a job. My compliments, you did it very well,
but you know the saddest thing Jack? You couldn't even be true to that. You
betrayed Hector and Ramon, you betrayed me, and now you betray your own people.
God knows there are times when I despise Hector, but at least he is true to
himself. He knows who he is. You? You're a man without a soul.
JACK BAUER: Does
Hector know about us?
CLAUDIA: Do you
think I'd be alive if he did? You know where he is right now? He's with Ramon,
deciding whether you should live or die, while you site here shaking like a
leaf. You need a fix don't you. There's plenty here Jack, I'm going to go and
get you a fix. Is that what you want?
JACK BAUER: No.
CLAUDIA: Jack, you
were a man once, what happened?
(CLAUDIA leaves the room.)
INT. CTU - TONY ALMEIDA'S OFFICE
(TONY ALMEIDA is sitting at his desk. He is on the
phone with MIGUEL, a man from Las Nieves. He sends him a picture of CHASE EDMUNDS.)
TONY ALMEIDA:
Alright, I'm sending his photo to you right now. Now remember Miguel, this
guy's acting on his own authority, so make sure you tell Gutierrez that he's
armed and dangerous.
MIGUEL: Ok.
TONY ALMEIDA:
Yeah, alright, good.
(TONY ALMEIDA hangs up. He gets up out of his chair up
but collapses onto the floor. He manages to pull himself to his feet and walks
down onto CTU's main floor and over to MICHELLE DESSLER and KIM BAUER.)
TONY ALMEIDA: I
just spoke to my contact in Mexican Intelligence. He says he can get a man to
Las Nieves in twenty minutes, an agent named Raphael Gutierrez.
KIM BAUER: Won't
local police be quicker?
MICHELLE DESSLER:
No, if we bring them in we might as well send a telegraph to the Salazars that
Chase is on his way.
KIM BAUER: What
about our Delta teams?
TONY ALMEIDA: No,
it's gonna take them over an hour; it'll be way too late.
(MICHELLE DESSLER turns to her computer where we see a
satellite image of a landing strip in Las Nieves.)
MICHELLE DESSLER:
We're analysing the aerial map of Las Nieves, there's only one landing strip.
KIM BAUER: He
won't use it. A landing strip's too exposed, especially if it's the only one.
TONY ALMEIDA: All right,
run a topographical overlay; find the most likely landing area the size of the
air field.
INT. DISTRICT HEADQUARTERS
(DAVID PALMER is sat behind a desk. WAYNE PALMER walks
into the room.)
DAVID PALMER: Have
you seen or heard from Anne?
WAYNE PALMER: Not
for some time, why?
DAVID PALMER: I
can't reach her.
WAYNE PALMER: This
about your health?
DAVID PALMER: No,
I'm concerned about her; she was pretty ripped up after the debate.
WAYNE PALMER:
We're all pretty ripped up here David. Listen, this allegation by Anne's ex
husband is no small bump in the road. I've been thinking about this and there
may be no way to defend ourselves against Keeler's accusation that Anne was
involved in something illegal.
DAVID PALMER: You
have to do better than that
WAYNE PALMER: I
know you like to deal with things head on, but I think the best course of
action for right now is to be evasive, so if the press brings this up you make
it clear that you're not going to answer any question, that you're going to
wait for all the facts to come in as should they.
DAVID PALMER: Well
you maybe right but in the meantime I need you to find Anne. The reporters are
going to be chasing her and she's not up to this.
WAYNE PALMER: I'll
put Perry on it.
DAVID PALMER:
Thank you.
(WAYNE PALMER leaves the room.)
INT. TED PACKARD'S OFFICE
(ANNE gets out of a lift and walks to a door. She
knocks. TED PACKARD opens the door.)
TED PACKARD: Hello
Anne, thanks for coming. I just wanted to have a chance to apologise face to
face for what I did. I don't know what I was thinking.
ANNE: Where are
the letters Ted?
TED PACKARD: Right
here.
( While TED PACKARD pulls the letters out of his
briefcase, ANNE spots a gun on his desk.)
TED PACKARD: For
God's sakes.
(TED PACKARD pulls his jacket over the gun.)
TED PACKARD:
That's not meant for you.
ANNE: No, for whom
then?
TED PACKARD: Just take
the letters and go.
ANNE: Ted, you're
not thinking about killing yourself?
TED PACKARD: Oh
no, it's, it's for self defence.
ANNE: Don't lie to
me.
TED PACKARD: Look,
you got what you came for, so go. You don't need to be here for this.
ANNE: Ted… at least
talk to someone. I know some good doctors.
TED PACKARD: High
priced phoneys who are going to talk me out of doing what I should have done
five years ago? No thank you. I'm a failure Anne, everything I touch goes bad,
it's just the way it is. Don't shed any tears for me because I don't deserve
it, just… just go.
(ANNE moves towards the gun. Then so does TED PACKARD.
They struggle for the weapon. TED PACKARD grabs it and presses it against his
temple.)
TED PACKARD: Don't
come any closer.
ANNE: Let me call
someone.
TED PACKARD: No!
ANNE: Please.
TED PACKARD:
You're a great woman Anne, much better than I ever deserved and I'm sorry I let
you down but just get the hell out of here.
(ANNE doesn't move. TED PACKARD shouts) I said go!
ANNE: Ted, it
doesn't have to be like this.
TED PACKARD: No?
How can it be? Can we be twenty five again?
ANNE: What you did
was wrong, but you made it right, and that means something. That means you can
start again. People do it all the time Ted, why not you?
(TED PACKARD lowers the gun.)
TED PACKARD:
You're really something. I believe if I gave you a few more minutes, you might
actually be able to talk me out of doing it.
(TED PACKARD places the gun against his head again.
ANNE tries to grab it. TED PACKARD pushes her away and gets ready to pull the
trigger.)
ANNE: Ted…
(TED PACKARD pulls the triggers and falls to the
ground, dead.)
ANNE: No!
(The 24 timer comes up, and goes from
INT. CTU - TONY ALMEIDA'S OFFICE
(TONY ALMEIDA is talking on his phone.)
TONY ALMEIDA: The
President can expect updates directly from me
WAYNE PALMER: How
often will you be calling?
TONY ALMEIDA:
Every fifteen minutes.
WAYEN PALMER: I'll
let him know.
TONY ALMEIDA:
Alright. We'll be in touch.
(TONY ALMEIDA hangs up. MICHELLE DESSLER appears at
the door to his office.)
MICHELLE DESSLER:
You should be in the hospital.
TONY ALMEIDA: I'm
fine. What have you got?
MICHELLE DESSLER:
Briefing package on Las Nieves. Alternate landing sites that Chase might use
instead of the airstrip.
TONY ALMEIDA:
Thanks. Is there something wrong?
MICHELLE DESSLER:
Just worried about you, that's all.
TONY ALMEIDA (unconvinced): Uh huh? What is it?
MICHELLE DESSLER:
It's not the time.
TONY ALMEIDA:
Michelle… what is it?
MICHELLE DESSLER:
This whole thing that you've been planning with Jack…
TONY ALMEIDA:
Look, I'm sorry I couldn't tell you. Jack planned it and he wanted absolute
secrecy and I agreed.
MICHELLE DESSLER:
You don't have to explain…
TONY ALMEIDA: No,
I want to explain. Listen to me, I trust you with my life, but this job is what
it is.
MICHELLE DESSLER:
Jack said he came up with the plan a month ago, is that how long you've known?
TONY ALMEIDA:
Something like that, yeah.
MICHELLE DESSLER:
I just… I had no idea you were hiding something from me. But that's my problem.
(MICHELLE DESSLER leaves the office.)
INT. DISTRICT HEADQUARTERS
(DAVID PALMER is sitting at a desk in a room. WAYNE
PALMER enters.)
WAYNE PALMER: I
just got off the phone with CTU, Bauer's near a place called Las Nieves, Delta
teams are scrambling now.
DAVID PALMER: When
does CTU expect to intercept the virus from the Ukrainians?
WAYNE PALMER: As
soon as Bauer gives them a signal. Tony Almeida says he'll be giving us an
update every fifteen minutes.
DAVID PALMER: Good.
(WAYNE PALMER'S mobile phone rings. He answers it)
WAYNE PALMER: This
is Wayne Palmer. … Yeah. … Yeah, hang on. (to
DAVID PALMER) David it's Anne, she says it's important.
DAVID PALMER:
Hello Anne?
(DAVID PALMER walks into another room.)
ANNE: David, it's
Ted, he just committed suicide.
DAVID PALMER: Oh
Anne, I'm so sorry. Are you alright?
ANNE: I don't
really know, I was with him when he did it.
DAVID PALMER: What
were you doing there?
ANNE: He asked to
see me David; he said that he was sorry and that he wanted to make things right
and me…
DAVID PALMER: Did
you call the police?
ANNE: Yes, yeah,
they're here now.
DAVID PALMER: What
can I do to help?
ANNE: Well there's
something that I need to give you, something Ted wanted me to give you.
DAVID PALMER: What's
that?
ANNE: It's letters
that, um, exonerate me from any connection to the falsified research data.
That's why I was here in the first place, because he wanted to give them to me.
DAVID PALMER: And
you have these letters?
ANNE: Yes I do so,
I'll be in the clear and hopefully it puts and end to the negative fallout for
you as well.
DAVID PALMER:
That's secondary to your well-being.
ANNE: I'll be ok.
I'll come over as soon as I'm done here.
DAVID PALMER:
Good, I'll see you then.
ANNE: Ok, bye.
(They both hang up. DAVID PALMER walks back into the
room where WAYNE PALMER is waiting.)
WAYNE PALMER: Is
everything alright?
DAVID PALMER: Ted
Packard just committed suicide, and he did it in front of Anne.
WAYNE PALMER: Oh
my God David, I'm so sorry. Listen, I don't mean to… I don't mean to sound
callous but what was she doing with him?
DAVID PALMER: He
wanted to give her letters, which apparently prove she's innocent.
WAYNE PALMER: You
serious?
DAVID PALMER:
She's going to bring them over in a little while.
WAYNE PALMER: Well
I guess that's some sort of silver lining. Listen, David, I know I've been
somewhat hard on Anne, but she cleaned up her own mess, and I respect that.
Maybe she's learning what it takes to be in this game after all.
INT.
RAMON SALAZAR: Why
do we even need Bauer?
HECTOR SALAZAR:
Because he made the first contact with the Ukrainian scientists, they want to
deal with him, they trust him.
RAMON SALAZAR: You
trust him too, the man pretended to be our friend and then put me in prison.
HECTOR SALAZAR:
And got you out again!
RAMON SALAZAR: He
has an angle Hector, count on it.
HECTOR SALAZAR: OF
course he does, fifteen million dollars. A big angle. You saw him, he's a
shell, there's nothing left. No future, no family, and a habit he can't beat.
He's not the same man who fooled us before.
RAMON SALAZAR: You
so sure of that?
HECTOR SALAZAR:
You know we have people in the American agencies, in the military too, all of
them, every one of them confirmed that the prison break was real. Bauer is a
fugitive from his own country. If they hadn't wanted you alive, they would have
killed him, that's a fact.
RAMON SALAZAR: So,
if we go through with this, what happens afterwards? We just forget what Bauer
did to us and let him walk away?
HECTOR SALAZAR: Do
you think I could forget what he did to us? As soon as we have the virus, we
kill him.
RAMON SALAZAR: Now
that's the first thing you've said that I like. Now Bauer is clever, he'll
expect it…
HECTOR SALAZAR:
But what can he do, alone, surrounded?
RAMON SALAZAR:
Don't underestimate him.
HECTOR SALAZAR:
It's me who's being underestimated Ramon, but I will earn your respect when we
make more money in one day than in all of our lifetimes, but you don't have all
night to decide. This man Amador is waiting for Bauer's call.
(RAMON SALAZAR picks up a radio.)
RAMON SALAZAR (into radio): Bring Bauer in.
HECTOR SALAZAR:
What have you decided Ramon?
RAMON SALAZAR: I'm
not sure yet.
(JACK BAUER enters the room.)
RAMON SALAZAR: I don't
trust you, and I never will. All I want right now is to spill your blood, but I
won't, not yet anyway. Out of respect for my little brother, I am willing to
play this out a little longer. So make your call.
JACK BAUER: Amador
won't be at the number he gave me for another fifteen minutes.
RAMON SALAZAR:
We'll wait.
JACK BAUER: Then
you won't be sorry.
(The 24 timer comes up, and goes from
INT. CTU- MAIN FLOOR
(TONY ALMEIDA walks onto CTU'S main floor. A CTU WORKER
calls him.)
CTU WORKER: Tony,
it's Raphael from Las Nieves.
TONY ALMEIDA: Ok,
patch it over here.
(TONY ALMEIDA walks over to a desk and picks up a
phone.)
TONY ALMEIDA:
Yeah, Raphael?
RAPHAEL GUTIERREZ:
Yeah, I'm at the landing area now. There's no sign of any incoming craft.
TONY ALMEIDA:
Alright. What size team do you have?
RAPHAEL GUTIERREZ:
What team? It's just me.
TONY ALMEIDA:
You've got to be kidding me!
RAPHAEL GUTIERREZ:
Look, this is a corrupt area, Salazar's got a lot of influence here, we don't
know how far it reaches. Miguel wanted me to do this on my own.
TONY ALMEIDA:
Alright well you're gonna have your hands full because Chase is one of our more
capable agents.
RAPHAEL GUTIERREZ:
Alright. How do you want me to approach?
TONY ALEMDIA: Well
don't surprise him, make sure he knows you're working with CTU.
RAPHAEL GUTIERREZ:
Hang on, I hear something.
(RAPHAEL GUTIERREZ gets out of his car and looks up
into the sky with some binoculars.)
RAPHAEL GUTIERREZ:
Yeah, this must be him. It's a twin engine prob on approach. He's landing now.
TONY ALMEIDA: You
have the photo we sent you?
RAPHAEL GUTIERREZ:
Yeah.
TONY ALMEIDA: Make
sure it's him, be careful. We'll keep this line open.
RAPHAEL GUTIERREZ:
Good.
(RAPHAEL GUTIERREZ takes one last look at the photo
CTU sent him and runs over to the plane which has successfully landed.)
RAPHAEL GUTIERREZ (to TONY ALMEIDA): Alright, I'm moving
in.
TONY ALMEIDA:
Alright, be careful, he's not expecting company.
(RAPHAEL GUTIERREZ reaches the static plane.)
RAPHAEL GUTIERREZ:
Edmunds? Edmunds? I'm here to help. Edmunds?
(RAPHAEL GUTIERREZ pulls down the door and steps onto
the plane.)
RAPHAEL GUTIERREZ:
Edmunds? Edmunds?
TONY ALMEIDA:
Gutierrez, talk to me!
RAPHAEL GUTIERREZ:
He's not here, the plane's empty.
TONY ALMEIDA: He
must have spotted you.
RAPHAEL GUTIERREZ:
He shuck away. I'll call you back.
TONY ALMEIDA: Yeah
alright.
(They both hang up. RAPHAEL GUTIERREZ continues to
search around the plane.)
RAPHAEL GUTIERREZ:
Edmunds? Edmunds? Edmunds!
(RAPHAEL GUTIERREZ is just about to get into his car
when CHASE EDLUNDS runs up behind him and wrestles him to the ground.)
RAPHAEL GUTIERREZ:
Wait, wait, wait! Take it easy.
(CHASE EDMUNDS points a gun at RAPHAEL GUTIERREZ.)
CHASE EDMUNDS: Who
the hell are you?
RAPHAEL GUTIERREZ:
My name is Raphael Gutierrez, Mexican Intelligence. Check my pocket, my left
pocket. Check it!
CHASE EDMUNDS: Get
on your knees, hands behind you head and lock your fingers.
RAPHAEL GUTIERREZ:
Alright, alright.
(RAPHAEL GUTIERREZ does as CHASE EDMUNDS says. CHASE
EDMUNDS then checks his pocket and takes out his badge.)
CHASE EDMUNDS: How
do you know my name?
RAPHAEL GUTIERREZ:
Your boss sent me to find you, Tony Almeida, CTU. His access code is Three
Tango Six Six Four.
CHASE EDMUNDS: Get
up.
(RAPHAEL GUTIERREZ stands up.)
CHASE EDMUNDS:
What does he want?
RAPHAEL GUTIERREZ:
He wants you to call him, I've got a phone right here, he says it's a matter of
life or death about Jack Bauer.
CHASE EDMUNDS:
Give me your phone.
(RAPHAEL GUTIERREZ gives CHASE EDMUNDS the phone.)
CHASE EDMUNDS:
Thank you.
(CHASE EDMUNDS dials a number. In TONY ALMEIDA'S
office, his phone rings. He answers.)
TONY ALMEIDA:
Almeida.
CHASE EDMUNDS:
It's Edmunds.
TONY ALMEIDA:
Listen Chase…
CHASE EDMUNDS: If
you're trying to get me to come back you're wasting your time…
(A sniper has shot RAPHAEL GUTIERREZ in the head.)
TONY ALMEIDA:
Chase! Chase, what's going on? Chase can you hear me?
(CHASE EDMUNDS gets into RAPHAEL GUTIERREZ'S car and
quickly drives away.)
CHASE EDMUNDS: Tony,
are you there?
TONY ALMEIDA:
What's going on?
CHASE EDMUNDS: The
guy you sent is dead, a sniper took him out. I'm being pursued.
(CHASE EDMUNDS'S
car crashes.)
TONY ALMEIDA:
Chase! Chase!
(The men who were chasing CHASE EDMUNDS run over to
his car and pull him out.)
(The 24 timer comes up, and goes from
INT. DISTRICT HEADQUARTERS
(ANNE walks up to the room where DAVID PALMER and
WAYNE PALMER are sitting.)
DAVID PALMER'S
HEAD OF SECURITY: Dr Packard?
ANNE: I'm supposed
to see the President.
DAVID PALMER'S
HEAD OF SECURITY: Follow me Ma'am.
(DAVID PALMER'S HEAD OF SECURITY knocks on the door to
the room.)
DAVID PALMER:
Come.
(ANNE walks in.)
DAVID PALMER:
Anne… How are you holding up?
ANNE: I'm ok.
(They kiss.)
WAYNE PALMER: Are
those the letters?
(ANNE hands WAYNE PALMER a file. WAYNE PALMER opens it
and starts reading)
WAYNE PALMER: Now
this is good David, this is very good. This clears up everything.
ANNE: Yes, yes it
does.
WAYNE PALMER: Once
these get authenticated, we'll take them to the press, you'll be off the hook
and Keeler should be hoisted right up on it.
ANNE: Yeah, I
thought you'd be pleased.
WAYNE PALMER: Anne
listen, uh, I'm sorry about Ted, I really am and if there's anything that I can
do, anything at all, please just let me know.
ANNE: Thank you.
WAYNE PALMER:
Excuse me.
(WAYNE PALMER leaves the room.)
DAVID PALMER:
Anne?
ANNE: I'm all right
David, I'm going to be all right but... something came out of this, and it was
suddenly so clear to me…
DAVID PALMER: What was clear?
ANNE: I don't know
how to say this except to just say it… I think we need to end things.
DAVID PALMER:
After what's just happened, after what's been happening all day, I can
understand why you'd want some time apart…
ANNE: David, it's
not about time apart.
DAVID PALMER: Anne
don't do this…
ANNE: And it's
true this day has been awful, but it just confirms something that I've been
feeling for a while. I can't live in your world. The things that people do to
each other, the things they have to do in order to survive, I just, I can't…
DAVID PALMER:
That's exactly why I need you.
ANNE: You need
someone who can stand beside you, not someone who stands back and watches and,
well, maybe passes judgement on things she doesn't really understand. I'm
sorry. You are the finest man I have ever known, and Wayne, God bless him, he's
just what you need and I'm so glad you have him but… it's not for me.
(They kiss.)
ANNE: Goodbye
David.
(ANNE leaves the room. DAVID PALMER calls for her.)
DAVID PALMER:
Anne…
(ANNE doesn’t turn back.)
INT.
(JACK BAUER, HECTOR SALAZAR and RAMON SALAZAR are in
the living room. JACK BAUER has just dialled a phone number and is waiting for
someone to answer. He paces the room impatiently.)
MICHAEL AMADOR:
Hello?
JACK BAUER:
Michael? It's Jack Bauer, can you hear me?
MICHAEL AMADOR: I
can hear you Jack. I'm glad you arrived safely.
JACK BAUER: Where
are you?
MICHAEL AMADOR:
You know I can't tell you that Jack.
JACK BAUER: Ok
fine, then when do you want to meet?
MICHAEL AMADOR:
I'll call you back in a few minutes; give me the number you're calling from.
JACK BAUER: Ok,
I'm on a satellite phone, one sec.
(JACK BAUER checks the number of the phone.)
JACK BAUER: The
number's Three Four Two Two One.
MICHAEL AMADOR:
You'll hear from me soon.
JACK BAUER: Ok
good.
(They both hang up.)
JACK BAUER (to RAMON SALAZAR): You better have your
money prepared.
RAMON SALAZAR:
Don't worry about that.
(The front door of the ranch opens and men walk in
dragging CHASE EDMUNDS with them.)
MAN: He came in by
plane, just off of the town. He was with a federali
that we killed.
RAMON SALAZAR: I
know this man. It's Bauer's partner.
HECTOR SALAZAR:
Was he with anyone else?
MAN: No, just the federali and him.
JACK BAUER: What
the hell are you doing here?
RAMON SALAZAR: Hey
shut up! If he's here, others will be here soon. We gotta get out of here.
Thomas, make sure everything is ready, we're moving out of here, now! (to HECTOR SALAZAR) Bauer has been lying
to us all along.
JACK BAUER: That's
not true, I had no idea he was coming down here.
RAMON SALAZAR:
You've been playing us for fools again.
JACK BAUER: Ramon,
you're making a mistake. Hector please, we can still do this deal, don't let
your brother piss away a billion dollars.
HECTOR SALAZAR:
Ramon, what if he's telling the truth?
RAMON SALAZAR: You
keep hearing what you want to hear. This is an act; it's all been an act.
HECTOR SALAZAR:
How do you know.
JACK BAUER: Ramon
I swear to you, I'm not lying. Please, let's do this deal.
CHASE EDMUNDS:
What the hell is going on here Jack?
JACK BAUER: Shut
up Chase, you should never have followed me down here.
CHASE EDMUNDS: You
with them?
JACK BAUER: Yes,
I'm with them.
(CHASE EDMUNDS punches JACK BAUER twice in the
stomach. JACK BAUER is knocked back and his watch, which held a transponder,
smashes against the corner of a wall. The MEN grab CHASE EDMUNDS.)
RAMON SALAZAR (to JACK BAUER): You say he's not with
you?
JACK BAUER: Yes,
that's right.
RAMON SALAZAR:
Then kill him.
(RAMON SALAZAR hands JACK BAUER a gun.)
RAMON SALAZAR:
Kill your partner.
JACK BAUER: You
want me to kill him, fine I'll kill him Ramon, but it would be smarter to use
him for information, and maybe even as a hostage.
RAMON SALAZAR: No
more clever talk! You keep saying you're on our side; now prove it once and for
all.
JACK BAUER: Fine.
(JACK BAUER takes the gun.)
JACK BAUER: You
should never have come down here Chase. You should have listened to me.
(CHASE EDMUNDS spits at JACK BAUER. JACK BAUER then
reluctantly points the gun towards CHASE EDMUNDS' head and pulls the trigger.
The gun clicks. It wasn't loaded. RAMON SALAZAR starts to clap.)
RAMON SALAZAR:
Very good Jack. (to
his MEN) We'll take him with us. Bauer's right, let's find out what he knows.
Break him down, see if anyone came in with him.
(The MEN drag CHASE EDMUNDS away and into a car. JACK
BAUER hands RAMON SALAZAR the gun.)
RAMON SALAZAR:
We'll go to a safe house, and we'll wait for Armador's call.
(JACK BAUER walks
over to a car. CHASE EDLUNDS is sat in the back, he gets onto the passenger
seat.)
CHASE EDMUNDS:
Jack…
JACK BAUER: Shut
up Chase, if you want to get through this just shut up.
(JACK BAUER sees that his watch is broken.)
JACK BAUER: Damn
it.

TONY ALLEIDA'S office.
GAEL: Tony, I
don't know how but the transponder in Jack's watch just went dead.
TONY ALMEIDA: Did
you try a reset?
GAEL: Yeah,
nothing.
TONY ALMEIDA: Damn
it! By the time the assault teams are in position, we'll have no idea where he
is.
