24: Live Another Day - Ninth Season

We pay you to develop the override,

not for you to give it away to the rest of the world.

You're working with Cheng?

Are you insane?

Cheng kidnapped Jack, had him put in a secret prison

outside of Beijing and tortured him for over a year.

When Audrey went to go look for him, he did the same thing to her.

I really don't have any use for you anymore.

Send it.

Fire order. We're to sink the Chinese carrier Shenyang.

Fire torpedoes one and two!

Mr. President, we know who issued

the false order that sank your carrier.

Cheng Zhi.

Cheng is dead.

We have reliable evidence that he's alive

and he's here in England.

Our carrier sinking

and the deaths of thousands of crewmen

is a brazen act of war that cannot go unanswered.

It's imperative that you find Cheng

and the override device, so that we can show the Chinese

that we were not responsible.

Bauer is still in the picture.

You were supposed to have taken him out.

I sent a team to recover him.

He's not gonna stop until he finds me.

My people will meet you at the dock.

You'll be out of the country in less than an hour.

Bring the witness.

What's in her head is extremely valuable.

You set me up for the Russians, you son of a bitch. Why?!

I thought Bauer was a traitor.

I thought he was here to assassinate you.

The Russians have been pushing us for four years

to turn him over to them.

I forged your signature on the rendition order.

I am placing you under arrest for treason.

Mr. President, I can still use him.

I'm gonna need him to set up a meet.

He's bleeding out. Get me a towel now!

Where is Cheng?!

My country has not forgotten.

They will not give up until you pay

for what you have done.

I have a contact at the Chinese Embassy here in London.

Let me arrange a meeting

and I will bring evidence

that the penetration of our systems

was out of our control.

Take this to your father as quickly as possible.

Jiao... thank you.

My associate has his weapon trained on you.

Sit back down on the bench and don't move.

Maybe I'll allow you to live.

Jiao?

My God.

I told you, you may not move from the bench.

But my friend is still alive.

Let me go see if I can help her.

I won't run.

I give you my word.

I'm going to her to see if I can help her.

Do not scream.

Do not communicate with anyone in any way.

Why are you doing this?

What do you want?

You move from the bench again,

my sniper will kill you.

Sit.

Stolnavich's e-mails all look like they're personal.

To family, different women.

Could it be in some sort of code?

Stolnavich wouldn't have kept something like that in the open,

even if it was coded.

I got e-mails from three days ago using a false name

and arranging for payments for a shipment.

Leaves tonight.

Cheng's got to be that shipment.

He's leaving on a freighter from the harbor

- in less than 40 minutes. - Okay, I'll call it in.

I'll get Erik to send a team there right now.

Oh, my God.

What is it?

This is Agent Morgan.

I'm gonna need a team sent down to South Hampton.

This time stamp-- this was taken less than a minute ago.

Hang up the phone.

Hang up the phone now.

I'll call back.

Yes?

Stop tracking me.

As soon as I'm safely away, I will set her free.

If you come near me or anyone try to help her,

- she dies instantly. - Cheng, please listen to me...

Those are my terms!

Is that clear?

Yes.

Cheng?

Cheng?!

So... it's over.

We-we... we can't go after him.

Getting to Cheng is the only way

- we're gonna stop this war with China. - You're just assuming that.

We don't know if we can get the proof to President Wei!

Or even if he'll back off when he gets it.

We're condemning Audrey to death for nothing.

We don't have another choice.

She loves you.

Shut up!

Agent Morgan.

We can't involve the CIA.

Cheng will see them coming from a mile away.

What's the alternative?

He's right, there isn't one.

I need to go after Audrey.

Jack, you're under a direct order from the president

to go after Cheng; you got to follow that.

I can go after Audrey.

You really think you can handle this?

Yes.

Okay, I want you to contact Audrey's office discreetly.

Find out where she was going.

Whatever you do, do not alert the CIA.

I want you to put together a small team.

You take out that sniper.

You keep me posted every step of the way.

I will.

Mr. President,

I'm Agent Erik Ritter, acting head of station.

Your military advisors are set up in our secure comm

and briefing facilities upstairs.

Well, thank you, Agent Ritter.

Have you heard anything from Audrey?

I checked in on their Secret Service detail

15 minutes ago.

She and Jiao Sim were still talking.

What about Bauer?

Negative on Bauer, sir.

What's our status, Admiral?

The Chinese now have eight amphibious landing groups

steaming toward our bases in Okinawa.

The first Chinese carrier to reach the 12-mile limit

will be in the next half hour.

At which point, the seventh fleet

has standing orders to engage.

Also, they've ordered their nuclear armed submarines

to ascend to 300 feet--

firing depth.

Sir, we need your authorization

to escalate our own nuclear readiness

in response.

Put our subs and silos on the highest alert.

See if you can get President Wei on the line.

Ma'am, are you okay?

Are you all right, love?

Yeah, I'm fine.

Can I use your phone, please?

Yes. Yes, of course.

Who is this?

Jack, it's me.

Chloe, where are you?

Cheng had me; I jumped out of his truck.

Adrian's dead.

I know.

You got my message.

You know he used the device

to launch the attack on the Chinese carrier?

Yes, and if I capture Cheng alive

and can prove his involvement in today's attack,

we might be able to get China to back down from war.

Do you know where he is?

He's leaving on a cargo ship.

Belcheck's meeting me down at the docks.

You can't go in there blind.

I'm at Millswood, not far from the docks. Come get me.

I'll run comm for you.

I'll get you satellites, schematics.

Chloe, I don't think that's a good idea.

Jack, I know you don't trust me.

Adrian lied to me.

The only thing I did wrong was to believe him.

Please, let me make this right.

Give me your cross streets; I'll pick you up.

President Wei, whenever you're ready.

Go.

Mr. President.

Forgive me for being blunt.

You've got your navy heading toward Okinawa,

which our seventh fleet is ready to defend.

But it's in both our interests to avoid a shooting war.

Especially with both our countries

at a high level of nuclear readiness.

The destruction of our carrier

and the deaths of our soldiers is a provocation.

Our military must respond.

We have agents in the field in the process of

apprehending Cheng Zhi.

While that's happening,

I'm asking you, as a gesture of good faith,
