Previously on 24.

Why would David Palmer call my wife about a national security threat?

We can't risk having Mrs. Logan obsess about this phone call.

If David Palmer called her yesterday,

our communications office will have a recording of their conversation.

Get that for me.

You don't need to be concerned...

that there's any connection between David's death...

and the phone call he made to you.

He said it was a matter of national security. Those were his exact words.

Martha? It's David Palmer.

I need to talk to you.

It's hardly a matter of national security.

No. That's not it.

That is not what he said! Yes, it is!

I have dealt with the Martha Logan situation.

I was able to alter the tape of the phone call before the president heard it.

There's no longer any evidence on my end...

that Palmer was trying to warn her about the attack.

Sir, it's Edgar. I think we can find Chloe.

She's accessing our system through a laptop. I'm running a locate now.

What'd you get for me on Chevensky?

He's a baggage supervisor at the airport.

Jack Bauer! Agent O'Brian!

We know you're down here.

- - Do not fire! Do not fire!

Chloe, what the hell's going on?

Jack didn't kill anybody. He's being framed to cover up the reason Palmer was assassinated.

- Where is he? - I can't tell you.

Where can I find the baggage claim supervisor?

Down that hall to the left. Thank you.

Chevensky. Why was President Palmer killed?

I don't know what you're talking about.

You're gonna tell me what I want to know. It's just a question of how much you want it to hurt.

Mom, do you see those men?

I have to warn Jack. - Derek, where are you going? Come back here!

No!

Quiet! Quiet!

You will not be harmed as long as your president complies with our wishes.

The following takes place between 9:00 a.m. and 10:00 a.m.

- -

Back up now. Back up right now!

We have a critical incident in progress.

I want the facility locked down and a code-five evac right now!

Officer... Clear the area!

My son is in there. I'm sorry, ma'am.

We're evacuating the area... Ma'am! Grab her!

- Yes, sir! - I have to get my son!

Bring her back to the truck! Derek!

Derek!

I have information for C.T.U.! My son is in there!

Everyone, quiet!

Put your heads down.

Do not move.

It's okay.

If you cooperate, you have a chance of leaving this building alive.

If you do not, you will die.

Do you understand?

Take out all cell phones and pagers and drop them on the floor.

[Chattering In Foreign Language] Nobody's talking!

Here.

We're gonna be okay.

- Bring them in! - Let's go!

Move! Now!

Come on. Come on.

Chevensky.

Chevensky!

Da.

Well? Chevensky's not here.

We have to find him. Keep searching.

McLaren. Listen very carefully.

We have hostages.

If you wish to keep them alive, you'll make no attempt to reenter the terminal.

We are wearing explosive vests.

We are prepared to detonate ourselves along with our captives.

If you make any efforts to enter the terminal,

you will spend the rest of the day collecting body parts.

Hello?

Set up a security perimeter.

We'll operate from the northwest apron behind hangar 12.

And get those fire trucks out of here. Everybody, out!

Grab that woman in the yellow next to Bailey. Bring her up here. Quick!

All right. Yeah. Thank you.

Bill, I just spoke to the director of Secret Service.

Now that Suvarov has arrived safely, they're lowering their security level by one.

I think we should do the same. I'll take our tac teams off standby.

Have we heard from our unit that we sent to the refinery?

Yeah.

At least that part of Chloe's story checked out.

So it's possible Jack was set up in Palmer's assassination. - We can't assume too much.

- Jack still has a lot to answer for. -

Buchanan. Mr. Buchanan?

I have Jack Bauer on the line.

Put it through. Yes, sir.

Bill, put it on speakerphone.

Please.

- Jack, it's Bill. - Bill, I'm inside Ontario Airport.

Gunmen have just attacked and taken over Terminal 1.

They're carrying automatic weapons and they have hostages.

- We haven't received any alerts. - Trust me. You will.

What are you doing at the airport, Jack?

Following up a lead. President Palmer knew of the planned attack.

I believe that's why he was assassinated.

We've just received an interagency flash.

There's been an attack on Ontario Airport.

Several men carrying automatic weapons, and they've taken control of Terminal 1.

Go to alert level four. Launch all tac teams. - Curtis is in the air.

Redirect him to the airport.

Have him maintain operational control the moment he's on-site.

Right.

Jack, we just received confirmation of the situation.

I want you outta there now. Turn yourself in. Let our people handle this.

Understand this, Bill... I don't work for you. I'm staying inside.

You want my intel, fine. But I'm doing this my way.

How many hostiles are there?

Approximately 10 to 12.

Gunmen have locked down the terminal.

I'm gonna be sending you photos of the hostiles.

They should be clear enough that you can identify them. Hold on.

- - Okay, they're transmitting.

All right, Jack. We'll pull a schematic of the airport and forward it to your cell.

Bill, hold on. One more thing. A woman is gonna contact you.

Her name is Diane Huxley. I sent her and her son to C.T.U. for protection.

Who are they? - I don't have time to explain, but I'm responsible for them.

Just make sure they're safe. Okay?

We'll take care of 'em, Jack.

Thank you. I'll be standing by.

We have to alert the president.

Right.

Up with your hands!

I want to personally extend my condolences...

on the loss your country has suffered today.

Thank you, Mr. President.

I hope that what you and I accomplish here today...

will serve as a fitting tribute to David Palmer's legacy.

I can't imagine anything more appropriate than the two of us establishing...

a comprehensive antiterrorism alliance between our nations.

If you would excuse me for a moment, Mr. President. Of course.

What's up, Mike?

Terrorists are controlling the main terminal of Ontario Airport in Los Angeles.

Terrorists? Yes, sir.

There are eyewitness reports of two casualties, and they've taken hostages.

Who are they? Unclear.

C.T.U. Los Angeles is prepping a briefing.

Mr. President, I suggest we move to the situation room.

Now?

C.T.U. thinks this may be related to the summit.

Related in what way? - I don't know, sir, but we'll find out during the briefing.

Mr. President?

Sir, we should go.

Of course.

Mr. President, as you've probably been made aware,

a situation has developed...

that requires my immediate attention.

I have just been informed.

This is terrible news indeed. Please let me know if there is anything I can do.

I will. Thank you, sir.

That's all for now, ladies and gentlemen.

Spenser?

Pulling the ground plan of the terminal off the server and sending it to Jack Bauer now.

Good. Edgar, were you able to identify the terrorists from the photos Jack sent?

Still no matches. I tried three different encoding arrays.

Did you widen the parameters? If it was any wider, we could use a phone book.

Stop. Wait. Hold on a second. Try using an N.P.-safe adaptive search.

- Are you okay? - Thanks for asking, Edgar.

Chloe, you managed to rack up four protocol violations.

It's a lot worse than that, if you count agency dot-codes.

It's more like 26 violations.

Do you want me to figure out whose face that is?

Or I could just go wait in holding.

See what you can do.

Did it work? We got something.

It's off an archive from the Bureau of Continental Affairs.

Anton Beresch, a former army officer in one of the Russian break-away republics.

Which means this definitely has something to do with the summit.

I'll data-mine the interagency server, see what I can come up with.

D.O.D. is receiving a localized broadcast from the airport.

- The networks are also picking it up. - Spenser, put it on screen.

Citizens of the United States,

today your president and the president of Russia have come together...

to sign what they have called an historical accord...

An antiterrorism alliance.

Your leaders claim it will bring peace and security...

to their respective countries.

As you will soon learn, it will accomplish exactly the opposite.

We are acting on behalf of the oppressed people of our region,

a people whose desire to be free is every bit as strong as your own.

We are prepared to use every means at our disposal to achieve our goal.

I have hostages.

Unless President Logan and President Suvarov...

make a joint statement repudiating this accord,

I will order their execution.

You have exactly 90 minutes.

We have to get this lunatic off the air.

We can contact the networks,

but they're under no legal obligation to comply.

We take these actions with the full knowledge that we will be called butchers.

But we are only responding to the violence...

that has been inflicted upon our own sons and daughters.

Until we as a people...
