Hassan isn't happy about Taylor's response to the ultimatum.

If he wants to take it up with President Taylor, he can do it when he's...

Put your gun down.

- Omar, what are you doing? - Mr. President...

My life for tens of thousands? I couldn't live with that.

What if they blow up the bomb anyway?

At least I've tried to stop the attack.

We've got less than five minutes. We gotta move.

- Mr. President, you can't trust him! - Don't move!

Hands where we can see them!

Is he still alive? Yes, ma'am.

Where is President Hassan?

I don't know.

Don't lie to me!

They have Hassan. We have the bomb.

The bomb's at Amsterdam and 93rd.

We know that President Hassan was handed over approximately 10 minutes ago.

We have an ambush point yet?

Yes. Intersection of 161st and Amsterdam.

- C.T.U. is following you. - Can you find me an exit?

There's one between 158th and 159th... parking garage.

Damn it, they've made us. He's breaking left. I repeat: He's breaking left.

I've got him. He's going back into the garage.

He's coming straight at me! Damn it!

You know where to go.

Have you got Hassan? No.

The driver managed to transfer Hassan to another vehicle before I could get to him.

Someone inside C.T.U.'s gotta be tipping them off.

It's only a matter of time before this gets traced back to me.

I need to get the hell out of here while I still can.

Excuse me, Ms. Walsh.

I need to see your passkey. What's this about?

It's a new protocol because of the E.M.P. attack.

Nobody gets in or out without personally being cleared by Mr. Hastings.

I can't let you through. You haven't been coded out.

Well, I'm not leaving. I'm just going to my car.

I'm sorry. You'll have to talk to Mr. Hastings.

Hastings is in the middle of a crisis. It'll just be a couple of minutes.

No one will even know I was gone.

Look, I just wanna go get my migraine meds. Please don't make me beg.

All right, I'll tell you what.

I'll have one of my men run out to your car, grab your medication.

Give me your keys.

You know, that's fine. Your men are busy enough. I'll talk to Hastings.

You sure? Yep.

Thank you, Jim.

Only one car left the parking garage,

one minute after the crash... northeast exit.

A blonde woman was driving. Hassan was probably in it.

- Can you track it? - No. It left the satellite grid.

Damn it. Put out an A.P.B. on that car.

Yes, sir. Scan the N.S.A. servers.

See if they've picked up any chatter. Yes, sir.

Mr. Hastings, the president's on line one. She'd like an update.

Great. Thank you. Madam President, Brian Hastings.

Mr. Hastings, I saw the crash. Please tell me President Hassan survived.

Actually, we just learned that President Hassan was not in the vehicle.

I don't understand.

During the pursuit, we believe he was switched to another car.

We're trying to track it now. Then he's still alive.

It appears so, ma'am.

If the terrorists wanted him dead, they would have killed him on sight.

They must have another agenda.

I don't even want to speculate on what that might be.

We will keep you apprised, Madam President.

Thank you.

What is happening? Is my father alive?

We think so.

But he's still in the hands of the terrorists.

Now, C.T.U. is searching for him now.

Then there's still hope? Yes.

Excuse me. But, Madam President, the Russian Foreign Minister is outside.

He wants to speak with you. I'll be right there.

I can't imagine how hard this is for both of you.

Please know that I'm committing every resource at my disposal to finding him.

Mr. Novakovich, what can I do for you?

Thank you for seeing me, Madam President. I know that you are very busy.

It's all right. Please.

Can I assume there is no change...

in the status of President Hassan?

I'm afraid not. Then he is still being held by terrorists.

For now, yes.

Are you hopeful that C.T.U. can recover him?

We're following a lead now. And, yes, we are very hopeful.

What is the nature of the lead?

I'd rather not get into specifics.

You'll be told the second we know more.

Oh. Madam President, I need to stress that if Hassan is not found,

his government will be in disarray.

The peace agreement will have no chance of success.

I'm aware of that,

but there's... there's no point in speculating on the worst-case scenario.

We're not there yet. I just want to make our position clear.

If Hassan dies, there is no agreement.

If I didn't know better, I'd think you were hoping for that to happen.

Madam President... You believe this treaty weakens your influence in the region.

Your country has been looking for any excuse to pull out.

I realize you are under a great deal of pressure,

but there is no reason for these baseless accusations.

My country has been more than supportive.

We are here, are we not?

Perhaps I spoke too harshly.

I just don't need you to remind me how perilous this situation is.

I do appreciate your support,

and I hope that I can count on it...

until we find President Hassan.

Of course, Madam President.

Chloe, can I talk to you for a second?

We've got a problem.

Jack thinks that someone inside of C.T.U. is working for the terrorists.

Why does he think that? They must have been warned that they were being followed.

That's why they transferred Hassan to a different car.

Yeah. That bothered me too.

And then there was a satellite glitch that happened earlier.

What glitch? The glitch that allowed the terrorists to get away.

It was a little too unlucky, especially for us.

Jack recovered Tarin's cell phone from the crash.

If someone did call to tip him off, we can get the number off the memory.

Jack's on his way back to C.T.U. now.

He wants you to call him on a proprietary line so he can upload the data.

All right. Go.

I'm ready to receive.

I'm calling Jack now.

[Cell Phone Ringing ] This is Bauer.

Jack, it's Chloe. Renee filled me in. Good.

I'm gonna upload the cell phone data to your station.

What's your I.D. number? 91770.

91770.

Chloe, it's encrypted. You're gonna have to work fast.

Excuse me, sir. I need to access your workstation. What for?

I wanna make sure all the parameters reset properly after the E.M.P.

- Can't that wait? - No.

If the parameters are off, we could lose more data.

How long? Couple of minutes.

Go ahead.

- - Hastings.

Mr. Hastings, it's Chloe. I need to talk to you at my station. It's important.

- What is it, Chloe? - I'll explain when you get here.

I'm on my way.

Let me know when you're finished.

All right, what is it?

We think someone inside of C.T.U. is working with the terrorists.

What are you talking about?

They switched Hassan to a different car...

because they knew they were being followed.

Jack recovered Tarin's cell phone from the crash.

Chloe's decrypting the data right now. Who the hell is it?

The data's coming in now. It'll take a second.

Okay, there. These are all the calls that Tarin made in the past hour.

That's one of ours. It's one of the cell phones...

N.S.A. provided to us right after the E.M.P. hit.

Who was issued that phone? They were logged in by hand.

Hold on.

It's Dana's phone.

Where is she?

I checked with Hastings. He cleared me through, Jim.

How's that migraine? Worse than ever, thanks to you.

Sorry about that. Just doing my job.

Stay where you are and keep your hands where I can...

Shots fired!

Security monitors, main screen.

Main entrance!

We need a medical team to the main entrance.

What's going on? Why is there a 112 out on Dana?

She's working with the terrorists. Just shot two security guards.

She's trying to leave the building. What are you talking about?

We traced a call from her cell phone to one of the terrorists.

She's been working with them, Cole. What did you know about this?

- Nothing, sir! - She just entered the parking garage.

She's heading for the north end of level two. She's going for her car.

Cole. Cole!

Notify Security. Lock down the exits.

Get out of the car now!

Who are you, you lying bitch?

Who are you?

Cole, let her go!

Cole, let her go.

Let her go.

- Where's Hassan? -

You're gonna talk to me one way or the other.

I said, where are they taking Hassan?

I wanna talk to Jack Bauer.

You want answers, get Bauer.

Get her out of here.

If her name's not Dana Walsh, then who is she?

Her real name's Jenny Scott.

At least that's what she told me.

I don't know what to believe anymore.

But she said she did some bad things in her past.

That's why she had to change her identity. What bad things?

She was involved with a felon.

They committed some armed robberies.

Someone got killed.

That's all I know, but it's not relevant to finding Hassan.

You let me decide what is relevant and what is not.

Why didn't you report this? I just found out about it a few hours ago.

That is not an excuse.

I know, sir.

I guess I was just trying to protect her.

I wasn't thinking straight.
