24

Previously on 24.

What happened to David Palmer wasn't supposed to happen.

He put himself in harm's way and got involved in something he shouldn't have.

- You know who killed David? - He works for me.

You lied to me. This entire day has been one giant lie!

What you've done makes me sick! Martha, enough!

I need you to swear to me...

that you will do as I ask for the country.

- I hate you. - The situation with Martha is taken care of.

There are too many loose ends lying around.

We cannot afford to have her pull on one and unravel everything.

- She won't. - I have the recording.

- Have you destroyed it? - No, sir, I have not.

You and I have been in this from the beginning.

Destroying that recording protects both of us.

- I got O'Brian. - Where is she?

She's working out of Bill Buchanan's house.

Did Chloe tell you why she was helping Audrey Raines and Bauer?

She thinks Jack is innocent... That President Logan framed Bauer.

This is Karen Hayes. Miles traced Chloe to your house.

You have less than seven minutes to get Chloe out of there.

Karen, why are you warning us? - Because I may have made a mistake earlier.

Chloe, if they find you here, you'll be arrested.

- You have to go now! - Not yet.

It's over, Christopher! Turn around!

Give me the recording. I don't have it.

Where is it? Henderson wasn't lying.

He doesn't have the recording on him. There must've been a handoff.

Henderson rendezvoused with another car.

- Can you track that vehicle? - We're tracking it now.

It headed back to Van Nuys... it looks like the civilian side of the airfield...

And pulled onto the tarmac.

Whoever it was got out and got directly onto the plane.

It's a chartered diplomatic flight, Jack.

We've tried everything we can. There's no way to delay it.

The following takes place between 2:00 a.m. and 3:00 a.m.

Okay, call me when you've got 'em. Yeah.

Bill, are you out? The field team's almost there.

Chloe's packing the comm gear she needs to stay in touch with Jack.

Where is Jack? Van Nuys Airport.

He stowed away on a diplomatic flight that just took off.

What? Why? He's trying to find a recording that implicates President Logan.

Someone on that flight has it? Yes, and we don't know who.

That's what Chloe's been trying to find out.

Hang on. Yeah? The field team's a block away from Buchanan's.

I'll set up here for the remote debrief of O'Brian.

No, put it in the Situation Room.

Oh, I thought you wanted... I want it in the Situation Room.

Go.

Bill, the field team's gonna be there any second.

Get Chloe out of there now. How close are they?

One block. - All right. I'm gonna have to run interference.

- It's more important that she gets away. - Good. I'll bring you in.

You'll be treated as a suspect. We never talked.

- Understood. They're here. Out the back. - Bill, wait.

Have Chloe call me on a dry channel.

Either 1-5 or 2-7.

Dry channel 1-5 or 2-7. Got it.

There's a gate in the back. Follow the path between the houses...

to the alley, turn right and go to Ventura Boulevard.

What about the curfew? There's a hotel on the boulevard... the Miramont.

You should be able to make it there without being spotted.

What about you? I'm gonna make sure you're not followed.

I'll be at C.T.U. Probably in holding. Why in holding?

Karen's gonna place me under arrest. If you need anything, contact her.

Why is she... Chloe, please, just go.

Who is it? Homeland Security.

Mr. Buchanan, we need you to open the door.

We're under order from Karen Hayes. I'll be right there.

What's going on? Please step aside. We need to search the house.

No, I'm not stepping aside. Do you have a warrant?

Where's Chloe O'Brian? I have no idea.

Don't make us use force. We know she's been here.

I don't know what you're talking about. Where is she?

I don't know where Chloe O'Brian is.

She's not here.

Sir, this is a recent file from Comm.

Only O'Brian could access it. Talk to us, sir.

I'm not talking to you. I'll talk to Karen Hayes.

Papazian. Mr. Papazian, we are on site.

It appears Chloe O'Brian was here, but she is gone.

Is Bill Buchanan there? Yes, sir.

- We lost O'Brian. - Damn it!

- Put him on the phone, please. - Hello?

Don't play games with me. Just give me O'Brian's location,

or I will make it very bad for you.

From what I understand, Miles, she got out of C.T.U. right under your nose.

You're the one who oughta be concerned, not me.

This is Karen Hayes. Tell us what you know now.

- Stop wasting our time. - I'm not saying any more.

- This is Ed. - Ed, bring Buchanan in.

Set up a grid search for Chloe.

She's probably got a car, which means she's about 15 miles out.

Copy that. - But the agents on-site are trained for interrogation.

Why are you bringing him in? Because I wanna run this, Miles.

But now it's us who are wasting time here.

Don't worry. I will make him talk.

I'll be in my office.

I'm good. Thanks.

Yeah. I'm set up at the Miramont Hotel.

- Make sure no one looks for me here. - I'll take care of that.

- Tell me what else you need. - Jack's on Diplomatic Flight 520.

Pull up the manifest.

Got it. Flight 520 to Frankfurt.

Put everything you've got from that flight onto the shared volume so I can get to it.

Crew, passengers, cargo, everything.

- Done. - Okay, I see it.

Thanks.

Yeah. Are you okay?

- I'm fine. Did you get what I need? - Got the passenger list.

It's gonna take time to cross it against Henderson.

What about the air marshal? That I'll have in a couple minutes.

Good. What's happening at C.T.U.?

They're still under orders from the president to stop you, but Karen Hayes is backing us.

Openly? No, but she's letting me help you.

If there's proof against Logan, she wants it found.

The proof is on this plane. Check the flight manifest.

Figure out which passenger has a connection to Henderson,

and get back to me with the air marshal's seat number.

I will.

- We could grab some shut-eye. - I don't think so.

Oh, hey, I was just askin'.

You don't have to go all feminist on me.

You see that? Twenty-first century woman.

We'd better get used to it.

- Yeah. - Jack, I found the air marshal.

His name is George Avila. He's sitting in 7-A.

Anyone sitting next to him? No.

Good. Get back to me when you've got the connection to Henderson.

Got it.

Excuse me.

Excuse me. Is that seat taken?

No. Thanks.

The stewardess said I could change seats.

I was next to the galley. It's kind of noisy.

I'm trying to get some rest.

- Yeah. - The man you're looking for is in seat 12-D.

His name is Hans Meyer. He's with the German government.

He's been connected to Omicron since the mid-1990s.

He's worked directly with Henderson. That's it.

Okay, I've got it.

Mr. Meyer? Yes?

My name is George Avila. I'm the air marshal on this flight.

What's wrong? It's nothing serious.

We found something we think is yours. It should've been in the baggage compartment.

We'd like you to come back to the galley and identify it so we can properly stow it.

Please, sir, we'd really appreciate it.

If you have carry-on bags, bring them with you.

I don't. Very well.

- What makes you think it was mine? - Ticket stub.

They have taken away all my medication. I need to get to it.

I'm sorry, ma'am. They won't let me give that to you.

What do they think I'm gonna do, kill myself?

Over that son of a bitch?

I just called the president of the United States a son of a bitch.

No reaction?

He must have some kind of law on the books against that.

Or am I immune, just like he is?

Do you have a first name, Agent Adams?

It's Justin, ma'am.

You don't have much of a personality, do you, Justin?

This is Novick.

It-It's Martha. Are you still in the retreat?

Yes, I'm just down the hall from your room.

I need you to come here right away.

I'll be right there.

They've cut me off from my medication.

You haven't been cut off.

Dr. Hill said you had enough in your system right now.

You need to wait a few hours.

I don't wanna wait a few hours. I need something now.

- What's going on, Mrs. Logan? - I don't need counseling, Mike.

I just want a damn pill. Sit down.

Sit.

Thank you, Agent. You're dismissed.

We've, uh, been through some tough times before, Martha.

Just follow the doctor's orders for now.

This is more than just a tough time, Mike.

None of this is gonna go away. I just have to live with it.

What do you mean, it's not going to go away?

What are you talking about?

I... I shouldn't have said that.

Martha, it's me.

Now, you say what needs to be said.

What needs to be said I can't say to you.

Why not?

Listen, Mike, I-I-I just... I just need to get some sleep.

I'm just...

My nerves are shot from today. I just need something to calm me down.

I just need to get my medication.

Well, the president doesn't want you to leave the room.

Then you can bring it here.

I just wanna take a couple of pills. I need to sleep.

You can watch me take them.

I'll see what I can do.

Yes? Have they found Bauer yet?

- No, they haven't. - That's not good.

I know that's not good.

I am putting pressure everywhere I can.

I don't think I have to tell you how disastrous it would be...
