Let's get the other body and get cleaned up before we head back to C.T.U.

I'm trying to locate an individual by the name of Kevin Wade.

Kevin's probation officer just called me.

He has records that show him calling my cell several times.

- Look, you just have to handle this, okay? - I don't know if I can do this.

Lie. We both know you're good at it.

Put your hands where I can see them.

Do not move!

Samir, Marcos is out of the chamber.

Hang up right now and transmit the fail-safe.

What's happening? What is that?

I don't know if I'm gonna be able to do this in time.

How were they gonna smuggle the fuel rods into the city past the radiological detectors?

I don't know. Damn it, Marcos! Give me a name!

President Hassan's head of security, Tarin Faroush.

You need to call U.N. Security and have them take Mr. Faroush into custody until we get there.

- Tarin's not here. - Where is he?

Somewhere with my daughter.

Tarin is working with your father's enemies.

You must tell me where you are.

The Teodore Hotel, suite 514.

Just stay where you are. The police will be there shortly.

I thought we agreed you weren't gonna take your mother's call.

I'm sorry, my love. I just didn't want her to worry.

- Did you tell her where we are? - Of course not.

We're arriving at the landing now.

Soon we'll be able to transport the rods into Manhattan.

- Are C.T.U.'s radiation sensors down? - Not yet, but we'll be ready.

All right, listen up.

This is what we know.

I.R.K. nationalists are targeting New York with a dirty bomb.

We have one lead: Hassan's former head of security, Tarin Faroush.

We believe he wants to disable our defenses so they can smuggle the bomb into Manhattan. Chloe.

Latest intel is that Tarin is staying at the Teodore Hotel with Hassan's daughter, Kayla.

Kayla has been warned by her mother that Tarin is working with the terrorists.

She'll be trying to keep him at the hotel until our tac teams arrive.

- What's our E.T.A. on that? - N.Y.P.D. is approaching the staging area.

C.T.U. still 10 minutes out.

Chloe, you liaise with N.Y.P.D.

Actually, Dana is better at the interagency protocols than I am.

Fine. Jack Bauer's heading Field Ops.

Dana's on point with N.Y.P.D. Arlo will run aerial. Let's get to it.

All the changes going on around here,

who do I report to exactly, you or Dana?

- What does it matter? - I just like to be clear.

The only thing you need to be clear about...

is that there's a dirty bomb about to go off in Manhattan, so just do your job.

Drone's in position over the Teodore Hotel awaiting your instructions.

Kayla, we have to go.

Nearly ready.

- What was that? Are you all right?

It was nothing. I'm fine.

Hello.

The Americans got Marcos to talk. He may have compromised you.

Did the girl receive any phone calls? Yes.

One. Her mother. Get out now and bring her with you.

We're moving to the next phase.

I'll need a vehicle. Hamid is on his way.

- Kayla, we must go now. -

Just one more minute.

Hurry up, please.

Jack, I'm uploading Tarin Faroush's file to you now. Copy that.

Okay, I've got it.

We're also gonna need hotel schematics and access to their security systems.

Coming to you now. Target is in Room 514.

Hotel security is standing by to give N.Y.P.D. access.

Jack, Brian Hastings. What's your E.T.A.?

About eight minutes. Can you patch me through to our point man at N.Y.P.D.?

We're doing that now. Name's, uh, Sergeant Amis.

Sergeant Amis, Dana Walsh, C.T.U.

Been waiting on you, Ms. Walsh. We're in our staging area already.

- Go ahead, Jack. - Sergeant Amis, Jack Bauer.

Our target, Tarin Faroush, is in room 514.

He has a female hostage, Kayla Hassan.

She's the daughter of President Hassan of the I.R.K.

We'll handle him, Mr. Bauer. We'll make sure that girl doesn't come to any harm.

The priority is to take Tarin alive. He's our only lead...

to a major terrorist threat against New York. Like I said, we'll handle him.

Sergeant, don't underestimate this man.

He was President Hassan's head of security. He knows what he's doing.

I want your men to set up a perimeter and wait for us.

We're monitoring hotel security. We'll give a

heads-up if we've got any action from the room.

Kayla, my friend from the State Department is waiting for us.

- We must go now. - Just one more second, please.

Kayla!

Kayla!

Tarin, what are you doing?

Stop this game. We walk out of here right now. No. I'm not going anywhere.

Just move! No! Where are you taking me?

Believe me, the last thing I want to do is hurt you, but I will.

We've got movement on the fifth floor.

Are you getting this, Jack?

Yeah. Someone must have tipped him off. Sergeant?

Yes, I know. Target's on the move. I'm going in.

Negative. We're five minutes out. Hold your position.

I'm on the ground, Mr. Bauer. It's my call.

No, it isn't. This is a C.T.U. operation. Hold your position.

I'm going in. Sergeant!

This is hotel security. SWAT team's on their way in.

Tarin's at the elevators.

Lost picture on the fifth.

Sergeant, target has taken out elevator security camera and is armed.

I am ordering you to stand down. I'm right on him.

Sergeant, that was an order.

Sergeant Amis, can you hear me?

- Ser... Chloe, have you got anything? - Nothing.

Shots fired! Shots fired! We have shots fired.

All N.Y.P.D., report status. Repeat: Report status.

This is Faulkner. I'm hit. Amis and Martin are down. Where's the target?

He's heading toward the fire escape on the south side. He's got the girl.

E.S.U., this is Agent Ortiz. Cover the south fire escape now.

Medics, men down on the fifth floor. That doesn't make sense.

What do you mean? Tarin just took out three men.

Why is he using the fire escape? He should be heading down the stairs.

Son of a bitch. N.Y.P.D., target is impersonating an officer. He has the girl.

Fall back and cover all exits. I repeat: Target is impersonating an officer.

Cover all exits.

Chloe, do you see anything? Nothing.

Arlo, get us the drone feed. Roger that.

Drop the gun! Put it down! Drop it now!

This is Bellow. Target's at the Allen Street exit. He's got the girl.

- Chloe, we need that drone feed. - Coming through.

There's a cab pulling up.

Officer Bellow, behind you.

Jack, they're heading for the cab. All E.S.U.,

we have two officers down in the alley behind the hotel.

Target is moving to Allen Street. He's escaping in the Yellow Cab.

- Tracking the cab. - Go!

Advise all N.Y.P.D. mobile units, we cannot lose that vehicle.

- On it. - Taxi's in the Delancey underpass.

I'm blind. Do we have traffic cams?

Not in the underpass. We're two blocks from Delancey.

- Any sign of the cab? - Still in the underpass.

The underpass is less than half a klick. Where the hell are they?

N.Y.P.D. mobile units, 90 seconds out.

- Go left, Jack! Go left right here! -

There it is. I got the cab. I got the cab.

Driver!

I want you to slowly open your door!

Open the door now!

It's empty. It's empty!

Chloe, backtrack drone footage.

Trace every vehicle that left the underpass.

Get N.Y.P.D. to set roadblocks. They were here less than 30 seconds ago.

Arlo? Got it. We should join the sweep.

They're gone. You don't know that.

Yeah, I do. They're gone. Chloe, it's Jack.

I'm gonna need a kidnap and an electronic intercept package.

Have it meet me back at the U.N. Copy.

I need to talk to President Hassan.

That's who the terrorists are gonna want to contact next.

- That's why they kidnapped his daughter. - Nobody in or out!

Tarin just called. He has the girl.

- - Hello.

Ahman. Samir, where are the nuclear rods?

They're still outside the city.

We haven't disabled the American radiological detectors yet.

Then how will you bring the rods to me?

It's been taken care of.

We've backtracked through drone and traffic cam footage looking for Kayla and Tarin.

Nothing's come up yet. What's Bauer's status?

He's two minutes from the U.N. An electronic intercept team is en route to him.

Keep me informed. Copy.

Ms. Walsh?

There's a Mr. Prady here to see you. Says he spoke to you on the phone.

Thank you.

Chloe, do you mind covering for me for a few minutes?

Mr. Prady. Dana Walsh. My pleasure, Ms. Walsh.

It'll be quieter in here. Mm-hmm.

Ah. This is, uh...

This is some impressive facility.

What, uh... What is it you do here?

Intelligence analyst.

Mr. Prady, we've got a major situation here...

I understand. I won't take up much of your time.

Okay. It's 3:00 in the morning.

You're 2,000 miles from home. Would you mind telling me what's so urgent?

Yeah. It's about the young man I mentioned on the phone.

Kevin Wade. This is him right here.

You know him, don't you?

Yes.

I should have been honest with you on the phone.

I met Kevin a couple of days ago at a bar.

Was there another man with him?

He was traveling with an ex-con named Nick Coughlin.

Bad news. Done time... armed robbery, attempted murder.

No. No, I've never seen him. Mm-mmm.

Okay.

So, what happened...

with you and Kevin?

Um...

We talked for a while.

I drank more than I should, and we ended up back in his van.

You had sex with him.

Yes.

You know where he is now?

No. I didn't see him again. The whole thing was a mistake.

Why so? Because I am getting married in a few weeks.

It was the pressure. I... I don't know. All the wedding plans.
