24: Live Another Day - Ninth Season

I've hidden evidence in our room

under the floorboards.

When the authorities arrive,

I will claim that you've been

opposed to this attack from the start

and that you've been held here

against your will.

Aunt Simone!

Simone: Grab your daughter

and leave London...

right now.

Wait, what are you doing?

Calling the police.

Please, I'm trying to protect you.

Protect me? Protect me from what?

My mother.

No. No. No.

Please... Yasmin, get out!

I'm so sorry.

Somebody help!

Yasmin, wait!

Simone, your instinct was to

protect your family members

from what your mother is doing today.

Right now you're the only person

that can stop this from happening.

Your mother's targeting you with a drone. No!

They're evacuating.

They may have gotten Simone out already.

Fire anyway.

You said you were going to

stop your analyst.

If he sees those partitions,

he's going to know that you're

the source of intel I've been sending to China.

You've been well-paid.

Sort it out.

Is there someone you can send me?

A cleaner?

We know about your wife's history with Bauer.

I understand why a man like you

would take actions against a rival...

Leave my wife out of this.

If I'm not mistaken, forging

a president's signature would be considered

an act of treason.

under presidential order.

I couldn't get my hands on him if I wanted to.

So, what are you saying, now?

Once Bauer serves his purpose...

everyone gets what they want.

I didn't think you were man enough to make this call.

You gave me a deadline.

Asked me to surrender myself to you.

Surrender yourself to me

on the terms I set out...

and you have my word,

this will be over.

Nobody else will die.

Patient is still unresponsive,

we need to intubate.

O.R. is ready, doctor.

How is she?

Oh, she took a turn for the worst

just before we got here. Doctor?

She's in a critical condition.

Extradural hemorrhage; That's swelling of the brain.

I know what it is.

We need to talk to her.

That won't be possible.

Not for a while.

We need to induce a coma

and drill a hole in her skull to reduce the pressure.

Okay. This girl is the only chance we have at finding

her mother and preventing another terrorist attack.

Perhaps that's so, but... it doesn't change the prognosis.

Is there any way to wake her up

after you drill the hole,

with adrenaline or something?

A high dose of Flumazenil

might wake her up for a few minutes,

but it'll also kill her.

We need to stabilize her first.

How long is that gonna take?

An hour, maybe two.

Keep me posted.

Right.

Hurry...

we don't have much time.

We really should get moving, Mother.

I just had a very interesting call.

About Simone?

No word on Simone.

We just have to assume the worst:

She's still alive and may betray us.

That's why we have to leave immediately.

The call...

was from President Heller.

He said he'll

surrender himself...

if we destroy the drones.

That's a lie.

It's a trick of some sort.

Perhaps. Perhaps not.

When you posted the video online,

you said he would never agree to the demands.

I didn't think he would.

Maybe I was wrong.

Well, even if he is serious,

would you actually destroy the drones?

We've been planning this for so long.

If a murderer like Heller can keep his word...

then so can I.

We'll discuss it on the way.

Here,

give me the device.

Go ahead.

Jack, it's Kate.

Simone's not good.

The doctor's inducing a coma;

He says if we try to wake her, she'll die.

- Yeah, but we're running out of time. - Yeah, I know.

What did the president want to see you about?

I don't know yet. Look, you need to

push the doctor, do you understand me?

We need Simone awake.

If she dies, so be it.

What?

Is it done?

I'm not certain.

What the hell is that supposed to mean?

I don't think my shot killed him,

but I'm sure he's wounded.

The longer he's out there,

the more likely it is he'll figure out

what I've done,

and I cannot afford that.

That means, neither can you,

do you understand me?

Yeah. I understand.

Then make sure he's dead.

Mr. President.

Jack,

I understand we're running out of options.

We're not giving up, sir.

But there's no real reason to be optimistic.

The percentages are not in our favor,

Mr. President, I'm sorry.

Don't apologize, Jack.

You're the only one to even come close

to catching Al-Harazi.

Sit down.

I need you to do something for me, Jack,

something you're not gonna want to do.

Mr. President,

I'll do whatever you need.

A few minutes ago,

I spoke directly to Margot Al-Harazi.

This is a recording

of the relevant part.

My offer is simple...

I'll surrender myself to you

at a time and place of your choosing.

In return...

you agree to destroy all of the stolen drones.

Dump them in the channel, off of Dover,

where we can verify their destruction.

I don't believe you're serious.

You claim to abhor

the shedding of innocent blood.

Prove it.

Shed mine.

Be at Wembley Stadium,

in the center of the pitch...

by 7 p.m.

Alone.

I'll be there... but

I want you to swear on the soul of your husband.

I swear on the soul of my husband...

I will destroy the drones...

once you are dead.

We have an agreement.

I'll be there.

Sir, I won't presume to lecture you...

but as a matter of national policy,

the United States does not negotiate with terrorists.

This is not a national policy issue.

This is my letter of resignation,

effective in an hour.

That makes this

a personal decision, not an act of state.

Mr. President, there has to be another way.

I'm listening, Jack.

What if she doesn't keep her word?

Then the world will peg her as a...

liar and a hypocrite.

It'll discredit her...

and everything she stands for.

Sir, I admire your willingness...

to sacrifice yourself in order to
