- No! No! - Renee!

Vladimir attacked you and you defended yourself... that's what happened.

I don't know. I do.

If anybody else wants to ask you questions about that,

I'll be right there with you to answer them.

You were implying something about Dana, and I want to know what it is.

I think she went to meet some guy.

- Take a look at this. - You think you can find her?

You promised me I do this one thing for you,

and then you'd leave me alone.

That's not gonna happen. This is a sweet operation that we got going here.

You know, you getting the access codes and us pulling the jobs.

You can't do this to me, Kevin.

- - I'll be there in a second!

You know who I am?

All I know is that there's a very powerful man in the Russian syndicate...

who's been trafficking weapons-grade uranium.

- Who do you work for? - I'm not at liberty to say.

Dimitri, work on him until he's ready to tell us everything.

- -

It's over. You know that, right?

You want to know where the rods are? I will tell you.

But I want full immunity.

- Command, are you seeing this? - Where the hell are the rods?

We've picked up trace radiation signatures. The rods were here.

I told you. They were there. I had two of my men guarding them.

We found their bodies. Both shot.

Josef.

I wasn't sure I believed, Josef, that you would betray your father.

You were upset that he was holding up delivery

of the rods. Now I've gotten them for you.

When will you get here? Less than five minutes.

Just have my money ready.

They're clear.

C.T.U. O'Brian. Chloe, it's Jack.

Do you have Hastings there? Yes.

- Are you ready to trace the call? - We're ready.

As soon as Bazhaev gets his son on the phone, we can begin to triangulate.

Okay, hold on.

Farhad, where are you? You're late.

Josef, it's me, your father. Don't hang up. Stay on the line. Please.

I know you have the rods.

Yes. I wanted you to know.

The police know too. They are here.

You told the police? Of course not.

It was Vladimir's buyer... He's a federal agent.

Josef, just so we're up front, I'm here with your father. My name is Jack Bauer.

I work with C.T.U.

Well, do what you want with him. I don't care.

Maybe you don't.

But your father cares about you.

He negotiated immunity for you.

All you need to do is bring the fuel rods in...

and you can put the rest of this behind you.

It's the only way you'll be safe. Safe?

Did my father tell you about my other brother? What he did to him?

- Oleg was dying. You know that. - Yeah, we could have saved him.

He would be alive if not for your precious deal.

You are right. Maybe you are right. I don't know.

But that does not bring Oleg back, and I cannot bear to lose another son.

Don't worry about me. I'll be fine.

No, you won't be. You won't be anything.

It's over. Federal agents are here going through everything.

The entire city is under guard.

If you don't bring the rods in, they will hunt you down.

They will kill you, Josef. I won't be able to protect you.

I don't want to see you hurt.

If I hand over the rods, how does this work?

Tell us where you are and we'll bring you in.

Oh, just like that? After everything we've done?

Yes, I told you. They have given us immunity.

Please, Josef, please.

This is your last chance.

Are you there? Yes, I'm here.

You need to bring him in now before Farhad gets there.

Josef, did you hear that?

You need to move. Josef?

All right, I'm on my way. I'll call you from

the road to let you know where to meet me.

Careful with the rods.

- - Sounded like shots fired.

- You need to help him! - Where is he?

- I don't know. - Chloe, did you get a trace on that call?

Not exactly, but it looks like he was in Central Queens near Flushing Meadow Park.

I want units combing that area. Jack, bring your suspect back to C.T.U.

Copy that. Get him ready for transport now.

Is he dead? Yes.

We need to hurry. The boat is waiting for us at the port.

- The port may not be the right thing. - What do you mean?

The authorities know our plan. We need a new one.

Hey. [Speaking Foreign Language]

Did you get that?

Yes, Jack. We're trying to get an I.D. off the voice print.

So far no luck locking down a location.

Copy that. We're on our way back now.

We need to hurry. Take the van and get the rods...

We've got a match for the voice at the end of the call... Farhad Hassan.

So he got his fuel rods.

- Any I.D. on the other man we heard? - No, sir.

Mr. Hastings, Rob Weiss for you.

Tell him I'll be right with him.

Give me an E.T.A. on Bazhaev. Yes, sir.

We'll start the interrogation as soon as he gets here.

Yeah.

Jack, it's Chloe. Hastings wants your E.T.A.

He's anxious to interrogate Bazhaev. I'm about 15 minutes out.

But I wouldn't count on getting anything from him.

If Bazhaev could've told me how to get to the

people that just killed his son, he would've.

Jack, I heard about what you went through.

Are you okay?

Yeah, I'm fine. Thanks.

- How's Renee? - Pretty worried about you.

They've still got her in Medical. Yeah.

Could you patch me through to her?

Hold on. Okay.

Hey. Renee, I have Jack.

- Jack. - How are you?

Uh, fine. I'm fine. What about you?

We had a line on the fuel rods and we lost it.

So what's the plan now? It's Hastings' call.

I'm bringing the prisoner back to C.T.U., then I'm out.

They ask you about what happened, about Vladimir? Uh, yes, Chloe did.

Chloe did the debrief?

Yeah. I mean, I wouldn't... I wouldn't really call it a debrief.

We talked, uh, mostly, and, uh, then I wrote a statement.

And you explained how you acted in self-defense?

Yes, like we agreed.

That's how it happened. Renee, you've got to stick with that.

Yeah. Yes, I'm gonna try.

I know this is hard for you, but you did nothing wrong...

and you need to start believing that.

Okay? Okay.

Jack, I don't... I don't know how to say this, so I'm just gonna say it,

'cause I need to make sure that I'm not misunderstanding, but when you say "I have you"...

I meant it like it sounded.

So now what do we do?

We'll figure it out.

Okay.

I'll be there in about 15 minutes. Bye.

Rob, it's Brian. I just got a flash from your office...

how this immunity situation the president authorized played out.

It's not good, Brian. Really not.

As I understand it, Bazhaev's son swiped the

rods from his father before we got there.

That's correct. And now the son is dead.

Yes. Do we know who has the rods now?

Apparently, it's Farhad Hassan.

And where is he? We're looking.

Meaning you have no idea.

Brian, I pushed the president to resurrect C.T.U. with you at the helm.

Now, you tell me you can do the job, I believe you. I can do the job.

Good to hear it.

'Cause when things get this colossally

screwed up, people look for someone to blame.

So what are you saying? I'm saying I don't want that person to be you.

I put you there. You're my guy.

If you fail, I fail,

and that cannot happen.

Are we on the same page here?

- So, what have you got in mind? - Renee Walker.

She killed one of our main leads. Isn't that correct?

He was a psychopath. She was defending herself.

She stabbed him 15 times.

What are you saying, it was murder?

I'm saying that's for lawyers to decide.

We're talking about a woman who put her life on the line when she didn't have to.

I'm sure that will weigh in her favor.

You know what a conviction would mean... she'd go away for years.

Someone has to pay for this, Brian, so you tell me... Who do you want that to be?

I'm sending someone over from Justice... Kristen Smith.

She'll take care of everything.

What do you need from me?

Just open the door and get out of the way.

We did a sweep, sir. No trace of any hazardous materials.

Fine. Finish up. Get back to base. Yes, sir.

- Arlo? - Yeah.

Find Dana yet? I think so. I'm dragging the G.P.S. coordinates off her phone.

All right, send them to my P.D.A.

Are you sure that's a good idea? I mean,

there could be a reasonable explanation why...

Hey, you're the one who stuck his nose in all this. Just do it.

Okay.

Coordinates are on your phone. Thanks.

Look, I'm sending everyone back to C.T.U. What are you going to do?

I'll be there within the hour. If Hastings

asks, just tell him I'm following up a lead.

I know Dana means a lot to you, but do you really think this is worth going AWOL over?

She's my fiancée, Arlo.

Jim, I'm taking your vehicle.

Find Owen, have him take SWAT back to C.T.U. Say I'll be right behind them.

No problem, sir.

Is Dana back yet?

I don't think so, sir. Do you need her for something?

Do I need her for something?

Yes, Arlo, she's my chief data analyst. I need her to do her job.

You track her down, and you let me know when you find her.

Mr. Hastings, Kristen Smith from the Justice Department is here to see you.

Thank you.

Ms. Smith. Mr. Hastings.
