Where are we on real-time tracking?

Backdooring off a satellite the Brits have overhead.

Hey, Kate, friendly reminder.

I'm gonna need your pass codes and decryption keys

before you clear out at the end of the week.

Right. I'm not gonna forget.

Oh, Mariana.

What's going on out there?

Got a tip that a high-value suspect is here in London.

Is it connected to the President being here?

That's the speculation.

Positive ID on the target.

Thirty feet from the south wait.

Here we go.

Go!

Get out!

The target's on the run!

Go, go, go, team one!

It's him.

Jack Bauer.

All right, he's taken Miller out. Has his weapon.

Armstrong, Cutler, he's coming your way.

Ahhh!

Continuing pursuit.

He'll head for the roof. That's the best way out.

Target's on the move! He's heading outside!

Well, that doesn't make sense.

Kate, please?

Get out of the way! Move! Move!

Damn it! Move, move!

Target is moving west, on his way to the river.

- Stay where you are! - Rooftop!

Copy that.

I got him. He's in my sight!

On your knees!

Hands behind your head!

We got him.

Prime Minister is putting pressure

on parliament to extend their lease,

but the vote is too close to call.

People are just not comfortable with our

using drones for targeted assassinations.

Mr. President?

I'm thinking I don't blame them.

I'm uncomfortable with the drones, also.

The ugly truth is, what we're doing is working.

Worst-case scenario, if we lose the base,

do we have anything new?

No other country in the region is willing

to host an American base rig ht now.

In part, because the Chinese

are making it clear

that they don't want us in the area.

Yeah, they're spreading their wings.

Beijing just acknowledged

they have a carrier group heading for the Mediterranean.

For the first time in history.

It's clearly intended to intimidate

the British over the lease.

The Chinese Navy are calling it

their friendship tour.

Hmm. Taking a page from, uh, Franklin Roosevelt.

Sir?

Well, FDR, he sailed the Great White Fleet

all over the world, early 1900s,

called it the goodwill tour.

Basically the same thing. Just a show of force.

I have to work on my speech.

Thank you, gentlemen.

Thank you.

Okay. Yeah, thank you.

Mr. President?

It was, um...

It was Theodore Roosevelt.

Who?

You said Franklin Roosevelt sailed

the Great White Fleet around the world.

It was Teddy.

Well, thank you, Mark.

When you retire as my Chief of Staff,

you're gonna have a real place on Jeopardy!

Don't worry about me.

That's an order.

Yes, sir.

All right, give me a second. Sir.

You have a call from a local CIA head of station.

He say what it was about?

He didn't.

This is Mark Boudreau.

Steve Navarro, sir.

My station just apprehended a man

with a multi-agency warrant issued against him.

You're at the top of the alert list.

Who is he?

Jack Bauer.

Are you sure? Yes, sir.

Where was he caught?

The old Chatham and Dominion factory

20 kilometers southeast of central London.

It can't be a coincidence.

I agree.

Jack Bauer is a traitor and a psychopath

who killed two Russian diplomats,

and came close to assassinating their President.

And now after all these years,

he surfaces in London the same time as President Heller?

We have to consider the possibility

that he is here to do the President harm

and there may be other people involved.

I'll be interrogating him shortly, and find out.

We don't have time for the interrogations you'll conduct.

I understand there are Special Activities people on site.

Well, they have a unit inside our facility,

but they operate under a separate charter.

We don't share intel or prisoners with each other.

But I can have him formally transferred into their custody?

Yes, sir.

Great. I'll get started on that.

Send me over Bauer's case file

and keep his presence there on a need-to-know basis.

Thank you.

No one finds out Bauer's surfaced

on our end either, do you understand?

What about the President, sir?

I said no one.

Hey.

Congratulations on apprehending Bauer. That's a big win.

I hate to lose you, Kate.

It's not fair and it's not your fault.

I'll let you get back to it.

Why didn't he go to the roof? What?

Bauer. He could have gone to the roof when our men were moving in.

And from there, he would've made it

to any of the other buildings on the block

and he'd have gotten away.

It just doesn't make any sense.

Maybe he didn't scout out an escape route.

Bauer stayed off the grid for the last four years.

He didn't do that by being careless.

He's up to something.

Good morning.

Not for long. Major Shepherd wants you

to call him as soon as you arrive.

Sounded pissed.

About what? Didn't say.

Drone holding at 19,000 feet, 80 knots.

Good luck with Shepherd.

Thanks.

Excuse me.

Sir, it's Lieutenant Tanner.

You knew your mission was to fly cover

while I escorted British officers to their unit.

Yes, sir.

Yet, you didn't notify their air command.

Sir, that wasn't in your orders.

Shouldn't have to be.

Get it authorized.

Right away.

Yet another dereliction of duty.

You're on base until further notice.

Sir, I have a weekend pass. My wife and I...

Your pass is revoked.

Bastard.

Get that file to the Chief of Staff.

And set Bauer up in interrogation.

But I thought Special Activities was gonna handle that.

I want to see what I can get out of him

before that transfer comes through,

and those people do God-knows-what to him.

Sure.

Lock him down in interrogation.

Yes, sir.

Good grab, Erik. Thanks.

I'd like to take a look at

the original intercept from Prague,

the one that gave us Bauer's location.

Why?

I just want to make sure

that we're not missing anything.

Like you thinking Bauer would head for the roof,

when he didn't?

I just want to take a quick look.

You're not cleared for that.

Look.

Sir. Uh... Yeah?

I thought you should know,

Kate was asking about the Bauer op.

She wanted to see the intercept that helped us catch him.

Is that right?

Yeah, but I didn't give it to her.

I just wanted to make sure you were aware.

And that she's still being transferred stateside?

She's still leaving at the end of the week,

and you're still on track to get her job.

That's not even what I'm asking.

Yes, it is.

And instead of shoving her out the door,

you should be learning from her.

She was a good field agent.

With all due respect, how could that be?
