Previously on 24.

Your wife survived the attack. Thank God.

I should never have given in. I should have ordered back the motorcade.

The terrorist attack failed. We have to assume they'll make good on their threat...

to use the Sentox nerve gas on American soil.

I'm sorry. I made a mistake. I didn't think that I had any choice.

Charles, you didn't stand up to them.

You saved my life. Well, you're welcome.

Country's lucky to have men like you. I'm lucky.

Mrs. Logan?

Christopher Henderson was responsible for setting up the deal...

that allowed the terrorists to gain control of the Sentox.

He left me for dead. Right now, Henderson is our primary link.

You are gonna tell me now how to find the rest of the nerve gas.

Go ahead and do it, Jack. Get it done. Shoot me.

- - - You son of a bitch!

- I shot her above the kneecap! She can still walk. - Son of a bitch!

- You make me shoot her again, she'll be in a wheelchair! - Tell him what he wants to know.

- I can't. - I'm bringing Christopher Henderson into C.T.U.

I need an interrogation room prepped.

I don't care that you took my wallet. I just need to get my key card back.

It's of no value to you. It just lets me in and out of this building.

Okay, you told me we were just gonna take his cash and credit card.

That's how I'm getting us all this money. $20,000 line of credit right here.

Who's gonna pay you that kind of money?

I have the key card. - How long will it take you to reprogram it?

Five minutes. And then, we will be able to use it to access C.T.U.

Good.

The following takes place between 6:00 p.m. and 7:00 p.m.

Yes?

I'm reprogramming the C.T.U. key card right now.

Will it work?

I need to change the I.D. but preserve McGill's entry privileges.

It won't be problem. Good.

Our couriers are delivering the canisters to the targets. They'll be in place soon.

When are you launching the attacks? After you're done at C.T.U.

I'm a few minutes out. Call me when you're there.

Understood.

We were able to neutralize the attack on the hospital.

Good. Do we have any idea...

what the terrorists' next target might be?

We're working with federal and state authorities to harden security...

around the highest-value targets in Los Angeles.

In other words, no, we're completely in the dark.

We're just sittin' around waiting for Bierko to hit us again.

We do have one promising lead, sir.

Jack Bauer was able to recapture the man who escaped... Christopher Henderson.

Henderson was a defense contractor...

who brokered the sale of the nerve gas to Bierko.

Is this the same Christopher Henderson who worked at C.T.U.?

Yes, sir. He was head of Field Ops until Jack brought him down on corruption charges.

And this Henderson knows how to find Bierko? We believe so.

He's not cooperating. Jack's bringing him in for further interrogation.

Keep me posted on any progress. Yes, sir.

Mr. Buchanan?

Tony Almeida's been asking to see you down in the clinic.

I don't have time. I'll get to him as soon as I can.

- And Ms. Raines? - Mm-hmm.

Kim Bauer is here.

She's just clearing security.

- Put her in the Field Ops office, please. - Yes, ma'am.

[Buchanan ] What's Kim Bauer doing here?

Jack asked me to call her.

Does she know? Not yet.

Who's with her? I don't know.

But I'll find out from security. Excuse me.

- This is Bauer. - Hey, it's me.

Is Burke prepped for the medical interrogation? Yes.

Jack, Kim just arrived at C.T.U.

What'd you say to her? Nothing yet.

Good. I want her to hear it from me.

It might be easier for her if she knows that you're alive before she sees you.

When I first saw you... It-It's just... Yeah, I know.

I-I-I understand.

Look, when you talk to her,

just explain that the reason why I couldn't tell her I was still alive...

was 'cause I was trying to protect her. Of course I will.

Audrey, thank you.

Kim's at C.T.U. right now?

You know, after you died, Chase left her.

She hit bottom. Did you know that?

It's only right now she's putting her life back together.

Maybe you did know that, but you just couldn't do anything about it.

This doesn't concern you. Oh, I think it concerns me, Jack.

Miriam and I were there for Kim when you weren't.

Whatever you may think of me,

Miriam and I love that girl.

Are you okay?

Both my parents died here.

I swore I'd never come back to this place.

Well, we can leave right now if you want.

Here. She's coming.

- Kim. - Hi.

Hi. This is Barry Landes.

Hi. Audrey Raines.

So what is it? What did you have to tell me that was so important?

I think it would be better if we talked in private.

Whatever you have to say, you can say it in front of Barry.

Kim, I really think... No, no, it's... it's okay.

It's about your father.

What about my father?

He's alive.

Kim, he wanted to tell you, but he couldn't in order to protect you.

Someone inside the government wanted your father dead,

so he staged his own death and went underground.

He knew that you wouldn't be safe...

if he told you that he was alive.

I didn't know either until this morning.

I thought maybe if I told you now before you saw him,

it might be a little bit easier.

He's on his way in now to C.T.U.

- Hello, Mike. - Mr. Vice President.

I thought you were in Salt Lake City today.

Hal canceled his engagements to be here, Mike.

I think you'll agree we need all hands on deck to deal with this Sentox situation.

- Of course, Mr. President. - Okay.

So, what's on your mind, Hal?

Mr. President, when these terrorists attack,

you're gonna need to maintain order,

and I submit to you the plan you're implementing with C.T.U. is inadequate.

Sir, it was drawn up after a careful study for an attack of just this magnitude.

C.T.U. is already coordinating with first responders.

Fine. And they should still do so.

But what I'm proposing is something far more sweeping,

and I believe it's warranted by the facts.

Andrew.

To begin with,

I'm revising all of C.T.U.'s casualty estimates.

Based on the assumptions that the terrorists will hit all of these high-profile targets...

Hospitals, malls, sporting arenas, transit hubs...

My low estimate is 400,000 casualties.

That's a considerable upward revision. I'd like to know how you reached it.

Well, you're free to talk to my working group.

Frankly, I believe there are a lot of people who don't take this threat seriously enough.

I assure you, we're taking it very seriously.

We have no agenda but to do so.

Considering these revised numbers, what's your recommendation?

I believe we should be thinking of a preemptive declaration of martial law...

in the greater Los Angeles area.

Mr. President, martial law is appropriate only as a last-ditch measure,

not as a preemptive one. Go on.

Every study we've done has shown it would incite more unrest, not less.

And you couldn't do it without approval from Congress.

Which is why we won't call it martial law.

No one is going to play semantics here when we're putting troops on the street...

to try to keep people from killing each other.

You're talking about a panic that hasn't happened. Right now,

the public isn't even aware of a threat.

You declare martial law, you'll have to tell them.

How long would it take to deploy the troops?

I've already been in touch with the Pentagon.

National Guard and army units are on standby pending your decision.

Mr. President, I agree there's a case to be made,

but, for God's sake, let's make it to Congress.

We can declare an emergency session... We don't have time. Hal's right.

This attack could take place any minute.

If C.T.U. can't find this man Bierko, we're gonna get hit.

It would be smart to have control of the streets.

This is a mistake, Jack. You don't wanna do this. Get out.

I'll get immediate immunity if I talk. You know it and I know it.

But I'm not even gonna ask for it.

Will you listen to me? I'm not trying to protect myself.

I'm trying to protect this country. What do you mean?

You don't wanna know what I know.

You get me to talk, I promise you, you'll just be opening Pandora's box.

Tell me. Let me judge that for myself.

That's what I thought.

I'll set him up in holding. Let me know when he's ready for interrogation.

Yes, sir. Jack!

Key card, please.

Yep. All clear, sir.

Go ahead.

Yeah.

Okay, I will. Thanks.

That was Curtis. He's on his way back from the hospital.

Okay, good.

Audrey.

- Did you speak to Kim? - Yes.

What was her reaction like? She's a little confused.

You should also know that she's here with someone.

I think it might be her boyfriend. His name is Barry Landes.

Where is she? She's in the Field Ops office.

Okay, thanks. Yeah.

Hey.

I don't know what to say. I don't know what you expect me to say.

You-You don't have to say anything.

Why didn't you just tell me you were alive?

I couldn't.

If you knew I was alive, you would have been at risk. I had no choice.

You could've chosen to trust her.

I'd like to speak with my daughter alone, please.

- I don't think that's a good idea. - I don't care what you think.

I'm sure you don't. All that matters is you...

and the judgments you make, even if it affects those that love you.

Kim.

Barry, please, let me speak to my dad.

I'll be right outside. Yeah.

Don't judge him.

He was there when no one else was.

The most painful thing that I've ever been through...
