24

Previously on 24.

What's going on? What do you mean?

I'm your brother.

Whatever it is, you can tell me. It's all right, really.

- Okay. - One more chapter and we'll take a break.

David! Oh, no. No. Get help!

Whoever did this, I want them dead or in custody by the time the Russians get here.

I would ask that you consider postponing the signing of the treaty, sir.

No. Absolutely not!

I think that David was killed...

because of something he was about to tell me.

He said that it concerned national security and that it involved you.

Is she all right? No, Walt. She's not all right.

She's having another one of her delusions.

- What is this, an interrogation? - I don't like being lied to.

No one's lying to you, Derek.

Yeah. I'm not hungry.

Sorry. You don't owe me an explanation.

If you had wanted to tell me about your past,

- you would have told me already. -

- Yeah? - Jack, I know this isn't protocol.

Please don't hang up on me. I need your help.

They got Tony and Michelle. Michelle is dead. Tony is in critical condition.

Now they're gonna kill me.

- What the hell are you doing here? - I'm sorry I followed you.

I'm just... just worried about my mother.

- You're going with me. -

- -

Hold your fire, Chloe!

Palmer was the primary target...

to set you up, make it look like you did it.

- You're the one who killed Palmer? - Yeah.

The following takes place between 8:00 a.m and 9:00 a.m.

The president's retreat is still vulnerable.

You need to post two more people here at Delta.

It's a high-probability point of infiltration.

We'll have to pull assets from somewhere else.

Ms. Raines? Yeah, Marcy. Can you give me the figures?

167... Excuse me, sir.

I'm sorry to interrupt. What is it, Edgar?

We have a visual on a suspect. I thought you might want to know.

He may be the Palmer shooter. Were you able to make an ID?

I think you should see for yourself.

About an hour before President Palmer was shot...

someone broke into the service entrance of the building the sniper used.

We have a frame grab from a security video.

I ran it through a hi-res filter, so it may take a few seconds to render.

Audrey. Ma'am?

Ma'am?

What is going on here, Jack?

They're setting me up to take the fall for Palmer's assassination.

Palmer's not even president anymore. Why would they want him dead?

I don't know.

You need to get as far away from here as you can. Just disappear.

What I need to do is find out who killed President Palmer.

How are you gonna do that?

Start at the beginning. Investigate the original crime scene.

David Palmer was visiting his brother when he was shot.

Maybe he left something there that can help me.

That's crazy. Palmer was assassinated an hour ago.

The place is gonna be crawling with Secret Service, F.B.I., local police.

I need access to a building schematic and an interagency deployment grid.

Can you get that for me or not? Yeah.

I should be able to log on remotely from the site.

Okay. Come on, let's go.

How could you kill that guy?

I'm sorry you had to see that, Derek.

Get in the van. I'm not going anywhere with you.

You're gonna do exactly what I tell you until I pass you off to your mother.

Let go of me!

Let's get something straight, kid.

The only reason you're still conscious is because I don't want to carry you.

Now get in the van.

Preliminary analysis indicates the video hasn't been doctored.

Then Jack was in the building the sniper fired from...

at the same time President Palmer was assassinated.

That's impossible. This whole thing is impossible.

Bill, you were there when Jack was shot. He had no pulse, no vitals.

And I have no idea how Jack staged his own death.

But I understand his reasons.

He was about to be handed over to the Chinese government...

to spend the rest of his life in prison. But none of that explains...

why Jack would want to kill David Palmer.

I had Curtis pull the phone logs.

Palmer, Tony and Michelle...

were all talking to Jack right before he was supposedly killed.

Our working theory is that they conspired to help Jack fake his own death.

Now you're saying that Jack was behind the attack on Tony and Michelle too?

Why would Jack wanna kill the people who helped him?

Something may have happened. He stopped trusting them to keep his secret.

Jack would never murder his friends.

Audrey,

I don't wanna believe Jack did this either.

But right now, it's the best explanation for the evidence that we have.

Okay. All right. I'm sorry.

You sure?

The White House needs to know about this.

Yeah. I'll call the president.

All right. Thanks. Bill.

What is it, Curtis?

I had Adamson run a data recovery operation on Tony's phone records.

They show Chloe was on those calls with President Palmer and Tony.

Chloe knew Jack was alive? Apparently.

We called her in an hour ago. She should have been here by now.

I've been trying to call her on her cell, but she's not answering.

I wanted to run a locate, but Spenser talked me out of it.

- If anything happens to her, it's your fault. - Stop.

Have Adamson track her cell. We need to get to her before Jack does.

Put out an interagency alert.

Jack Bauer is now the prime suspect in President Palmer's assassination.

Emphasize that he's a former agent, well-trained,

and should be considered extremely dangerous.

Excuse me, sir.

What is it, Walt? Mrs. Logan called again.

I can't keep putting her off about this phone call with David Palmer.

Why would David Palmer call my wife about a national security threat?

That's what she says. He wanted to talk to her about... "A matter of national security."

Maybe if I investigated the phone call. No.

You need to stay focused on the summit. I am, sir...

Which is why we can't risk having Mrs. Logan obsess about this phone call.

Showing her the truth might help her get on with her responsibilities today.

So, what are you... What are you suggesting?

Well, if David Palmer called her yesterday,

our communications office will have a recording of their conversation.

Get that for me. Yes, sir.

And, Walt, thank you for doing this.

Mr. President, Audrey Raines is holding on line three.

Ah.

Ms. Raines, this is President Logan.

You're also on with Walt Cummings.

Sir, C.T.U. has a suspect in the assassination of President Palmer.

Good. Who is it?

Ms. Raines?

It's Jack Bauer, sir.

- Jack Bauer is dead. - We've all been living under that assumption, sir.

I don't understand. What makes you think it's Bauer?

C.T.U. has verified surveillance video placing Jack Bauer...

at the same time in the same building...

as the sniper who killed President Palmer.

Audrey, this is Walt Cummings.

Let me get clear on this. Are you saying that Bauer shot David Palmer?

We're proceeding under that assumption. Yes.

- Why? For what possible reason? - David Palmer might have known that Jack Bauer was alive.

Knowledge that he shared with three other C.T.U. agents,

all of whom have been targeted in the last hour.

The man does have a history of insubordination, irrational behavior, drug addiction.

Jack Bauer has a history of great service to this country.

How does this affect your threat assessment for the summit?

We're still recommending you delay or reschedule until Jack Bauer's apprehended.

Ms. Raines, you have a suspect. Find him.

Yes, sir.

Sir,

President Suvarov arrives within the hour.

Should we think about informing his security chief that he's a potential target?

No. No. I-I want this information limited...

to those who are involved in the manhunt for Jack Bauer.

- Understood? - Yes, sir.

I found Haas.

He and his men are all dead.

How did this happen? I'm not sure.

The last time I spoke to Haas he was about to move on Bauer and the woman.

- Is there any sign of Bauer now? - No.

I'll dispatch a team and track him. We'll have him in 24 hours.

No. Let C.T.U. find Bauer. Once they have him in custody, we'll take him out.

You're not concerned Bauer will impede the operation?

He won't have a chance.

We launch in less than an hour.

All of their hardware is military spec... Fragmentation grenades, percussion grenades.

There's a comm unit we can use. Who are these people?

Yeah? Frank,

will you please tell me what's going on?

Diane, I know it's hard, but please try not to worry.

Derek is fine. Where are you now?

Um, I'm-I'm about a half hour outside of L.A.

Just tell me where to meet you. I don't know yet.

Just keep heading towards the city. I'll get back to you as soon as I can.

- Can I talk to him? - Of course. Hold on.

It's your mother. Talk to her.

Mom?

Derek, are you okay? Yeah, I'm all right.

- Are you sure? - Jack, we're about a block away.

Who was that? Say good-bye to your mother.

I have to hang up now, Mom. Don't worry. I'm fine.

- Derek, I love you. - Yeah, me too.

Give me the phone. Get to the back of the van.

Go!

While security agencies are remaining hushed, speculation begins to grow.

We're told, though, that that speculation will not be addressed,

because the government says security right now is of utmost importance.

Now, look behind me, you'll see the Los Angeles apartment building...

where President David Palmer was assassinated a little more than an hour ago.

- You can see Americans of all ages have started to gather... - Hold up, please.

To mourn and pay their last respects... Credentials?

To the beloved former president, who surprised many almost three years ago...

with his eleventh hour announcement that he would not be seeking...

Go on through.

Let her through!

We're clear.

Come on up front.

Hold the light on the bag.
