24

Previously on 24.

Evelyn, I need you to stay focused.

The recording of the call that you made between...

President Logan and Henderson is in a safety deposit box.

- Which bank? - City Trust and Savings in Agoura Hills.

Jack knows there's no point in going public until he has that evidence in his hand.

None of this should've happened. This whole thing was planned to make our country safer.

And it all spiraled out of control when you decided to kill David Palmer.

We have to focus on stopping Bauer before he finds that recording.

Karen, I'm issuing an executive order...

for the immediate apprehension and arrest of Jack Bauer.

I want you to run point on this, and I want you to make this C.T.U.'s top priority.

Understood, sir.

If we really want to find Bauer, we need to keep watch on anyone he might contact for help,

starting with Audrey Raines.

Don't fill your father in on the particulars.

Just set up the meeting. I'll get back to you as soon as I have the recording.

I need to see you in person. Can you reroute your plane to Los Angeles?

All right, yes. I'll see you there.

Jack, are you aware President Logan's issued a warrant for your arrest?

The vice president's not the one who's behind this, is he? - No, it's Logan.

As soon as we have the evidence in hand, we're gonna pass it off...

to Secretary of Defense Heller. [Henderson On Phone] It had to be done, sir.

I decide what needs to be done, Mr. Henderson.

I never authorized you to kill David Palmer. We got what we need.

The instant that Bauer steps outside that bank building, you take him down.

Kill the others and secure the recording.

- We got the evidence. - Have you listened to it?

Yeah, there's no doubt it's Logan.

We're talking about taking down the president of the United States.

The following takes place between 12:00 a.m. and 1:00 a.m.

This checkpoint is just one of many that have been in place for several hours now.

Despite his announcement that Los Angeles is no longer under threat of attack,

President Logan has ordered that martial law remain in effect.

While the move has drawn criticism from lawmakers and civil rights advocates,

the president is defending his decision as a necessary precaution...

Yes? It's me.

- Is Bauer dead? - Not yet, Mr. President.

You said your men had him.

Bauer triggered a bank alarm. Authorities came before my men could get to him.

Bauer used the cover of the firefight to slip away.

He has the recording? Yes, sir.

That evidence directly implicates me in David Palmer's death.

Only if it gets to someone who can do something about it.

We'll have Bauer before that happens.

How? Mr. President,

you've established direct control over C.T.U.,

and C.T.U. is heading up the search effort for Bauer.

You're putting an awful lot of faith in their ability. - This city is locked down.

C.T.U. will find Bauer, and when they do,

make sure you're the first to know, so my men can intercept.

Yes, Mr. President?

Get me Karen Hayes at C.T.U. Put it through to my office.

We're sifting satellite and Caltrans video for Audrey Raines's vehicle.

I've distributed her file photo to military checkpoints throughout the city.

If she used her D.O.D. credentials at any of them, there should be a record.

I hope we're not wasting our resources on Raines...

when we don't even know if she's helping Bauer.

She dumped the tracker. There's a reason she doesn't wanna be followed.

Ms. Hayes, the president is on line one.

- Yes, Mr. President. - Where are we, Ms. Hayes?

Still running active manhunts on both Jack Bauer and Christopher Henderson.

I told you to prioritize Bauer. I have, sir.

I've allocated my resources accordingly.

If David Palmer's killer is still at large when the morning news cycle begins,

then all the success we've had handling these terrorists will be undermined.

I will find Bauer, sir. You let me know the moment you do.

Yes, Mr. President.

Bauer, right?

Audrey Raines, she knows where he is.

And those protocols aren't gonna be enough to track her.

You still think Chloe helped Audrey break surveillance?

I'm sure of it. Remember, Audrey insisted Chloe be assigned to her.

Then we need to confront Chloe. -No, no, no, no, no, no. She'll just deny it.

There's a way we can use her to find Bauer.

It's all right. It's him. Bill, over here. Jack.

Bill Buchanan, Wayne Palmer.

I'm sorry about your brother. What the hell is going on, Jack?

The military authority, every law enforcement agency...

across this country has a warrant for my arrest.

What for? Killing David Palmer.

That's impossible. We cleared you this morning.

I'm being set up again, this time by President Logan.

He was complicit in David Palmer's assassination.

By God, you're serious.

Logan's using the military to try and stop me from exposing him.

We have the evidence... a digital recording of a conversation...

between President Logan and Christopher Henderson.

I need to get the recording to Secretary Heller.

He's gonna take it to the attorney general, and they'll file for the warrant.

Until then, I think Wayne's a target. I need you to take him somewhere safe.

Of course I will. Thanks.

- Where are you gonna meet Heller? - Van Nuys Airport.

Yeah. Jack, my father landed. Where are you?

I just dropped Wayne Palmer off with Buchanan. I'm on my way to the airport now.

All right, I'm on the north side of the emergency runway, at hangar, uh, 112.

I'll be there in a few minutes. All right, hurry.

Dad.

Hi, sweetheart. Hi.

Thank you so much for doing this.

Well, I don't know what it is I'm doing, so don't thank me yet.

These men in your security detail, do you trust them?

With my life. Dad, I need to be sure that they are loyal to you.

What's going on?

Dad, I will tell you, but only you. Stay here.

You know I don't like to be kept in the dark.

Tell me what this is all about.

I promise I will. I just need a minute.

Mr. Secretary.

What the hell are you doing here? He's a fugitive.

Every law enforcement agency in the state is looking for him. He's innocent.

Then why don't you turn yourself in?

Mr. Secretary, I swear to you, I had nothing to do with David Palmer's assassination.

I'd like to believe you, Jack, but you're acting like a criminal.

I don't have a choice. They're setting me up.

Mr. Secretary, I only need you for a few minutes.

I need to show you something, but privately,

inside the building, please.

Thank you, sir.

It had to be done, sir.

I decide what needs to be done, Mr. Henderson.

I never authorized you to kill David Palmer.

Palmer was nosing around. President Logan?

And a man named Christopher Henderson.

He found out about your involvement. For God's sake, sir, he called your wife.

I can handle my wife.

Right now my concern is keeping this operation from collapsing like a house of cards.

You're protected, sir. Every thread ends with Cummings.

He thinks he's running this, and you need to keep playing it that way.

I know my part, Mr. Henderson. You just do as you're told.

President Logan supplied the terrorists with the Sentox nerve gas.

What? - His plan was to deploy the nerve gas en route to Moscow.

That way he could expose the terrorists and use them as an excuse...

to invoke the military terms of the agreement that he made earlier with Suvarov.

This was all in an effort to gain control of the oil supply in Central Asia.

David Palmer found out about it, and that's why they killed him.

How do you know that recording hasn't been fabricated? I trust the source.

Mr. Secretary, I promise you, this will stand up under scrutiny.

I wish I could say I was surprised, but I'm not.

I watched Charles Logan...

rise on the tide of his own ambition.

I was terrified when he took the oath.

Sir, I'm very sorry that I had to involve you, but I needed someone...

who had access to hand deliver this to the attorney general.

So you contacted me?

You're the only one I could trust.

All right then.

Thank you, sir.

Go with your father. He's gonna need someone...

to corroborate the evidence to the attorney general. - What about you?

I'm gonna go dark until the attorney general comes forward. I'll call Buchanan.

I'll let him know what's happening. All right.

Jack, everything's gonna be okay now. Yeah.

Go. Okay.

- Jack, one more thing. - What, sir?

Dad, what are you doing? Secure my daughter.

You're playing a dangerous game here, Jack, and you're playing it wrong.

Turning Logan's crime into a public spectacle...

will not bring back David Palmer.

It'll tear this nation apart. You're not only destroying the president,

you'll be destroying the presidency.

The collateral damage of the truth will cripple this nation.

So what are you gonna do? Bury the evidence? - No.

You're coming with me, Audrey,

and we'll use the evidence to get Logan to step down quietly.

And once he's gone, we'll have a chance to set things right again.

Doug, I'm trusting you to keep this item safe.

She's comin' with me.

- Dad, I can't. -

Then secure them both until you hear from me. - Dad, please, no!

Mr. Secretary, you can't make a deal with him!

You can't trust him!

Excuse me, what's going on in the Situation Room? - Some sort of briefing.

No one told me. It's a class three. That's all I know.

I'm a department head. I should be in all class threes. It's all I know.

Shari, what was that briefing about?

Just a protocol review. I don't believe you.

Why not? Because you're a bad liar.

Miles just gave me a bunch of busy work to keep me out of the briefing.

You ever think there might be a reason he kept you out?

He thinks I helped Audrey break her surveillance.

- Is that what it was about? - I've already said too much.

Please don't ask me any more questions. Come on, Shari.

You owe me. I stuck my neck out for you with Miles.

Tell me what happened in there.

Miles found Audrey.

He activated a transponder on her car. So they know where she is?

We're running an operational support right now.

That's what the briefing was about.

They sent a tac team 10 minutes ago.

Please don't tell anyone I said anything.

Here she comes.

Damn, she's good. She set up a proprietary comm channel.

- How long will it take to trace? - Not long.

Pick up.

Somewhere in the Valley.

It looks like a pay phone.

I've got the receiving end narrowed down to a one-mile radius.

Why isn't Audrey picking up?

- Narrowing. Got it. - Where?
