Mr. Bauer, you are ordered to turn the aircraft around and return to C.T.U.

Jack's descending. Air force choppers are in pursuit.

We've lost him.

If Jack gets this evidence and exposes the Russians, the agreement is over.

The peace agreement may not be the only casualty.

You covered up the Russians' involvement.

That's grounds for impeachment.

There is still a chance C.T.U. will find Jack.

Even if they do, the evidence is still out there.

Eventually, it will surface.

You need to control the evidence by keeping Walsh off the grid.

Classify her as an enemy combatant...

and incarcerate her in a private facility.

I've authorized a private interrogation team to acquire the evidence.

Once we have it, she'll be irrelevant.

I can't be a part of this any longer.

Cite my health as the reason for my resignation.

The president's ordered your transfer to an off-site facility.

- What do you mean, off-site facility? - It's a secure location.

- Just do what he says, Dana. - Chloe, don't let them do this.

- Let's go. - Please, they're gonna kill me.

Chloe! Chloe, please!

You told Bauer you have evidence.

I have got nothing to tell you. There is no evidence.

The sooner you tell me, the easier it'll go.

Mobilizing a sting operation to be led by Agent Ortiz.

The target is Jack Bauer.

- Put your weapons down! - I can't do that, Jack!

Put your weapons down now!

I need you to help me gain access to Dana Walsh.

I am giving you an opportunity to make this right,

to make the people that are responsible for everything that happened today accountable.

Chloe said she's in a safe house a few miles from here.

Right now it's imperative that they think I took you hostage.

Get up!

And though fate has prevented my husband from being here today...

at the culmination of his life's work,

I know that he is watching us now,

looking down and guiding us...

as we take the last steps towards this historic agreement.

Finally, I would like to express my gratitude...

to President Taylor...

whose integrity and moral courage have been unshakable...

during the long course of these negotiations.

She is someone on whom my husband built an absolute trust.

And I want to make it clear...

that her efforts and the efforts of the United States government to rescue him...

were nothing short of heroic.

My husband wasn't perfect.

None of us is.

But he carried a perfect idea in his heart:

That peace is possible.

On this, the last day of his life,

may the world come together...

and prove that he was right.

What a magnificent woman.

Okay. Who was that on the phone?

Bledsoe. It's not the best of news, sir.

Dana Walsh isn't being as cooperative as he'd hoped.

Well, what does he expect? She's a trained enemy agent.

She's not gonna break at the drop of a hat.

Look, I told President Taylor what might be necessary, and she signed off on it.

Bledsoe's a professional, sir. I'm confident he'll come through for us.

He better.

Sir, there was one more thing.

Bledsoe wanted confirmation.

About what? How to deal with Ms. Walsh, post interrogation.

I thought we settled that matter. We did.

So why is he asking?

Just to double check we're still committed to the same outcome.

And what did you tell him? We're still committed to the same outcome.

Not that I have any idea what you're talking about.

You understand?

Perfectly, sir.

Let her up.

I'll give you a little tip. Take short, shallow breaths.

You'll recover faster.

And then we won't have so much downtime between sessions.

It's up to you, you know.

You can stop this whenever you want.

All you have to do is tell me what I wanna know.

I told you that I was making it up. There is no evidence.

You told Jack Bauer you had proof...

that elements in the Russian government were behind the assassination...

of President Hassan. I was bluffing, stalling for time.

There isn't any proof. Don't lie to me.

I'm not lying.

We begin again in 10 seconds.

Seven, six...

Bring it on, you son of a bitch.

Put her down.

Where's the evidence?

- Go to hell. - Gag her.

Okay. They got two sentries out in front in a black sedan, one lookout on the roof,

most likely another across the street, but I couldn't see him.

We can access the back of the building through that alley.

So, once we get Dana, what then?

As painful as it is, we got to cut a deal in exchange for the evidence.

You mean let her go. Cole, we both lost friends today.

And Dana had a hand in that, but only a hand.

If we can get the people in charge, the people that gave the orders,

it'll be worth it.

It's Chloe.

Answer it. Otherwise, she'll know something's wrong. If she doesn't already.

Hello. Cole, what's your E.T.A.?

Ten minutes. F.D.R. Drive was a mess. We're coming up First Ave instead.

Is Jack with you?

Yeah, I got him. He's locked down in the back.

I'm glad we found him before he got hurt or worse.

Yeah. I've known Jack for a long time,

and I've never seen him like this.

He threatened me. He's never done that before.

You did the right thing, Chloe.

Thanks for saying that.

I'll talk to you when you get here. Yeah.

We're good. She has no idea.

Don't be too hard on her, Jack.

She was only doing what she thought was best for you. I know.

I almost forgot. You're gonna need these.

I'm sorry. I just couldn't take the chance.

- Son of a bitch. - Yeah, I know.

You ready? Yeah.

Let's go.

Keep your head down.

Go.

That's right. Four hours prior to the signing ceremony,

all available field units will be redeployed to the U.N.

Mobile H.Q. is being set up on the first floor,

adjacent to the high commissioner's offices.

Hold on a second. I got O'Brian on the other line.

- Yeah? - Who's the psych officer on duty?

That would be Melissa Anderson.

She did all the grief counseling last night.

Make sure she's the first person Jack sees when he gets here.

I want a complete eval. You really think that's necessary?

I wouldn't have ordered it if I didn't. I'll let her know.

I got a visual. They got one man on the roof.

Okay. Wait till I get into position, then you draw him out.

All units, this is Command. Please report.

Command, this is unit one. All clear.

Unit two. Street's clear.

Unit three. Back alley's clear.

Command, this is unit four. Roof's clear.

All units, copy that. Stay alert.

We're clear.

Let's go.

You make that cover. I'll draw 'em out.

Command, I'm taking sniper fire on the roof from the building across the street.

I need backup now. Unit four, stand by. I'm sending backup now.

Copy that. Hurry.

All units to the roof. Unit four is under sniper fire.

Repeat: All units to the roof. Unit four is under sniper fire.

Go. Go.

Unit two, do not stop moving. Keep it tight.

Command, we're on the roof. It's quiet. There's no sign of Mullins.

Come again? All's quiet, but we can't locate unit four.

Unit four, come in, please.

Where's Dana Walsh?

Where is she?

- Command, Mullins is down, sir. - Last chance.

Repeat: Mullins is down. First room to the left.

- Thank you. -

Command, do you copy?

Command, come in.

We're clear. First room on the left. I've got it.

Put your gun down now!

You drop your weapon or I'll put a bullet in her brain!

I don't wanna kill you, but I will if I have to. Put your gun down!

You won't take the shot. It's too risky. I'll kill her before...

- -

Cole, untie her.

Cole, now!

Take her out the back. We're gonna get company soon. Hurry!

- Cole, have you got her? - Almost!

- I got her! - Move! Move!

Stay covered.

Here.

- Cole, take the stairs now! - Jack!

Get going! I'll be right behind you!

Chloe. In a second.

Just finishing rescanning the field report.

You need to hear this, Chloe. Agent Beck just checked in from the laundry.

He said he's been locked down for the past half hour...

and only just now managed to free himself.

What? Apparently, Jack didn't fall for the trap.

Instead, he reversed the entire squad and took Cole hostage.

I just talked to Cole. Beck says Jack had him at gunpoint.

Devon, pull up the satellite on the Lower East Side.

Address: 1463312th Street.

Why? It's where the private contractors are holding Dana.

- It's where Jack's on his way to now. - What is going on, Chloe?

He's been two steps ahead of me the whole time.

He probably knew what I was gonna do before I did.

Hello, everybody. Can I have your attention, please?

Jack Bauer's no longer in custody of C.T.U.

Agent Cole Ortiz is with him, most likely as a hostage.

Our priority is to find them now.

Satellite's on-line, Ms. O'Brian. Put it up.

We're too late. Put the A.P.B. back out on Jack, all agencies.

Get me the White House.
