Previously on 24.

The coordinates for the targets.

Upload them into the missiles. Begin the launch countdown.

How much time do you need to cancel the launch sequence?

I won't know until I see how the targeting software's configured.

We're gonna keep Bierko and his men out of here so you can finish this.

Ten seconds till launch.

It's done. The launch sequence is canceled.

You were never really gonna let me go, were you?

No.

- You are responsible for the deaths...

of David Palmer, Tony Almeida and Michelle Dessler.

- I'm going after Logan. - What do you mean going after Logan?

I'll fill you in on the details later.

Right now I need you to walk me through modifying some field-communications equipment.

Who is this guy? [Buchanan ] Morris O'Brian. Chloe's ex-husband.

I need some comm unit modifications. Can you do that without talking?

I could, but it would be a terrible waste of my charm.

Jack Bauer's on his way here now. He's going to confront your husband directly.

But Charles is leaving for the airfield immediately.

You have to find a way to stall him.

There's a helicopter waiting for me.

Let it wait. I can't.

Yes, you can. You're the president.

Aaron said the recording you had implicating the president was destroyed.

- Yes. - Without it, you can't mount a case.

I'm working with someone inside C.T.U. They're setting up a digital uplink.

If I can get Logan to acknowledge everything he's done,

it's going to be all the evidence we need.

I need to get on that chopper. - [Pierce ] I don't see how that's gonna be possible.

If Logan doesn't confess, how far are you actually willing to go?

As far as I have to.

The following takes place between 6:00 a.m. and 7:00 a.m.

Ahh.

Mmm.

Mmm. Here, let me get this for you.

Watch your hair.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

I got a flight suit.

Go ahead. - Did you make it to the Secret Service outbuilding?

Yeah. I think Morris and I may have a way to pull...

- the copilot from the flight. - What about the reassignment protocol?

I'm working on it. Mike Novick will have to verify the pilot codes.

Should take him about one minute. Hold on a second.

I'm switching over to comm. Okay.

- Do you copy? - Yeah.

I'll get back to you as soon as I'm on the chopper.

Mike Novick's gonna call.

- - Morris?

Yes, sweetheart?

I need you to do one more thing.

Some guy from Central just called.

Says your packet's messed up. I got that straightened out Monday.

I guess not. He wants to talk to you. Now?

Right now. He had me patch it through to the Secret Service outbuilding.

Mike. I've delayed him as long as I can.

He'll be there in a few minutes. Have you heard anything from Jack Bauer yet?

He should be in the Secret Service outbuilding.

I'm sending him the necessary documents now.

There's not much time.

Yeah, Mike?

Reassignment protocol and authorization should be coming through to you.

You'll need both. How are we doing for time?

- Hurry. -

Hello?

Hello? John.

Aaron.

I thought you transferred out. Not quite yet.

Some guy from Central called, said my packet's all mess...

You'll need this. Don't worry about him.

Carruth has been relieved.

Guess there was something wrong with his packet.

Ron Franklin. There's my protocol.

This is not bad, but it needs to be more positive...

Like, uh... [ Continues, Indistinct]

Jack Bauer's in the helicopter. You have to find an excuse not to get on board.

Charles... Excuse me.

Could I talk to you for a second? Absolutely.

Will you excuse us for a second?

I-I know it sounds silly, but I didn't bring my medication, and I just...

I just want to have it with me. Of course. Of course. We'll send somebody back for it.

No, no, no. I don't want to delay you. I'll be along later.

Besides, Charles, I'm thinking that when you land,

it would be better if I wasn't with you. Why?

This is your moment, Charles. I-I think that...

When you step out of that helicopter alone...

after saving the country,

that is an image that history will never forget.

All right.

Thank you, Marty.

But don't be far behind me now. I won't.

Captain.

I can fly this thing if I have to, which leaves you with one of two choices.

You either do what I say, and you live, or you don't, and you die for nothing.

You understand me?

I want you to wait until I give you my command,

then follow these instructions, slowly.

You're gonna disconnect your helmet from the communications system.

Then I want you to rip out the mike cable, take your helmet off and stow it.

Do it now.

I'll know if you deviate from your flight plan.

Mr. President, I have a message for you from the White House!

- What the hell are you doing? - Put these on!

You.

- This is Jack. Do you copy? - I'm here, Jack. Where are you?

We just left the ranch. I have Logan with me. Is Morris standing by with the equipment?

He's on his way. I'll let him know you're airborne.

Make sure the pilot takes heading 286 for two miles, then breaks south.

Captain! I want you to follow heading 286 for two miles, then break south.

Once you break south, there should be an industrial park.

There's an abandoned printing press facility that you can use.

I'll get back to you. Copy that!

What are you trying to do, Jack?

Whatever it is, you know you won't get away with it.

Are you going to kill me?

I suppose you want some sort of revenge. I understand that.

Bad things happened. I didn't want them to happen.

People who work for me, they... they went too far.

They did things that they thought I wanted them to do. But they were wrong.

You have to understand, I have always acted in the country's best interest.

But you're just trying to get even.

Do you realize what effect this will have on the American people?

This day has been trying enough.

And now the president is being attacked.

If you want to do what's right, you will turn this thing around and go back.

Damn it, Bauer, say something!

Hello?

Morris? Yes, love?

The helicopter is landing in an industrial park one mile due east of where you are.

Head over there. Okay.

Now I give this guy what we worked on, and then I'm out. Right?

Yes, but make sure you have him call me when you do the handoff.

All right. Thanks.

Shut it down!

Undo your safety belt.

Move towards the door... slowly.

Get out now. Move!

Jack, we... we could work something out.

There's still time. What do you want?

I could help you get away from here with enough money to start a new life.

Maybe find that daughter of yours, and...

And try to work something out.

Whatever you want, it's yours.

You have my word. Your word.

Jack, I'm the president of the United States.

I'm not... I'm not carrying any weapons.

Don't you make a sound.

Hey.

Give me the case.

Jack Bauer. I should have known that.

Modified equipment. Yep.

Ah, that's President Logan, Jack.

- Get out of here. - Yeah. Chloe wants you to call her.

Go.

Yeah, Jack? I have him.

All right. I've just checked the response deployments,

and you have less than 10 minutes until they're on you. Fine.

Listen, Jack? I don't mean to put any added pressure on you,

but if you don't have a confession by then, we'll all be arrested for treason.

Yeah, I know.

[Keyboard Clacking, Monitor Beeps ] Is this some kind of broadcast?

What is this?

I would like to know. Is this an assassination?

- A confession. - Don't count on it.

I know you're good at extracting information.

I know that you're good at torture. I saw what you did with Walt Cummings.

I think you'll be surprised to find out...

that I'm a little tougher than that.

Take a seat.

- Chloe, it's Jack. Can you hear me? - Yeah, Jack.

I want to make sure that you have good reception.

Who are you talking to? Are those your friends at C.T.U.?

You know you're putting them in danger as well.

Coming through fine, Jack. Okay, good.

My people can't be far behind, Jack.

There's still time to get away. Take it.

The plan involving the Sentox nerve gas...

was designed to fool the terrorists and the Russians.

Whether or not you formulated the plan is irrelevant. You authorized it.

You're delusional. David Palmer uncovered evidence of this plan.

When he started asking questions, he was assassinated.

Other people were killed to cover that murder up...

Men and women who served this country with distinction.

People that I worked with... friends of mine.

No. You're wrong. This is all a pack of lies.

The terrorists discovered your deception,

and they deployed Sentox nerve gas on American soil.

Every American who died today as a result of terrorist activity...

is another murder that you're accountable for.

And before you leave here, you're going to admit it.

I suppose if you hurt me enough, Jack, I'll say whatever you want,

but that won't make it the truth.

And everybody who watches this will know that perfectly well.

What are the names of your coconspirators?

There are no coconspirators, because there is no conspir... - Walt Cummings,

Christopher Henderson, James Nathanson have all admitted...
