24 s09e01 Episode Script

(INDISTINCT CHATTERING) (INDISTINCT TALKING) Where are we on real-time tracking? Backdooring off a satellite the Brits have overhead.
Hey, Kate, friendly reminder.
I'm gonna need your passcodes 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.
(TRAIN HONKING) (WHIRRING) ERIK: Positive ID on the target.
Thirty feet from the south wait.
Here we go.
(TRAIN PASSING) ERIK: Go! (INDISTINCT SHOUTING) ERIK: Get out! ERIK: The target's on the run! Go, go, go, team one! (METAL CLATTERS) (GRUNTS) (GROANS) NAVARRO: It's him.
Jack Bauer.
All right, he's taken Miller out.
Has his weapon.
Armstrong, Cutler, he's coming your way.
Ahhh! (COUGHS) (GROANS) (GUN CLATTERS) (GUNSHOT) (COCKS GUN) (CLATTERS) (BULLETS WHIZZING) ERIK: Continuing pursuit.
He'll head for the roof.
That's the best way out.
(GUNSHOT) Target's on the move! He's heading outside! Well, that doesn't make sense.
Kate, please? (CRASHES) (GROANS) (CROWD CLAMORING) Get out of the way! Move! Move! Damn it! Move, move! ERIK: Target is moving west, on his way to the river.
(ENGINE REVVING) MAN 1: Stay where you are! MAN 2: Rooftop! MAN 1: Copy that.
ERIK: I got him.
He's in my sight! On your knees! Hands behind your head! ERIK: We got him.
(JACK READING ALOUD) (CROWD CLAMORING) MARK: 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.
(CROWD YELLING) 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.
(SCOFFS) 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.
(CELLPHONE CHIMES) 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! (CHUCKLES) Don't worry about me.
That's an order.
Yes, sir.
(DOOR OPENS) All right, give me a second.
Sir.
You have a call from a local CIA head of station.
He say what it was about? (SIGHS) 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 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.
(BEEPS) 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.
(KEYBOARD CLACKING) 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.
(CROWD CLAMORING) (HELICOPTER HOVERING) (BEEPING) (DOOR BUZZES) 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 (BUZZING) Good luck with Shepherd.
Thanks.
(CELLPHONE RINGING) 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.
(STAMMERS) Sir, I have a weekend pass.
My wife and I Your pass is revoked.
(BEEPS) 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.
(INDISTINCT CHATTER) (CAR DOOR CLOSES) (PAPER SHREDDING) Lock him down in interrogation.
OFFICER: 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? (EXHALES) I just want to take a quick look.
You're not cleared for that.
(SIGHS) Look.
(DOOR CLOSES) ERIK: 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? I mean, considering what happened You have a lot of strong opinions for someone who just got here.
I'm just telling it like it is.
I mean, her own husband selling secrets to the Chinese? And she didn't know? And no one knows that better than her, so cut her some slack until she goes.
It's just a few more days, you can manage that, right? Hey.
To hell with Erik.
I pulled that intercept for you, but first there's something I want to say.
You've worked your whole life to get here, Kate.
You can't let them do this to you, you have to fight the transfer.
Jordan, I did fight, for two months locked in a room while they accused me of being a part of what Adam did.
But you were cleared.
You deserve to be here, Kate.
Do I really? Because I think Adam proved otherwise.
Well Here.
Did you look at this? I brought it straight to you.
Look at the message from Prague police about Bauer.
You see the header? Yeah.
Time stamp's out of sequence with the rest of the traffic.
Which means the tip couldn't have come from Prague.
That it was planted.
Exactly.
We need to find out by who.
Well, we better do it soon.
Bauer's about to be transferred to Special Activities.
Once he's down that rabbit hole, he's gone.
(BEEPS) You able to establish a baseline? Not a reliable one.
His readings are so steady, it's unnatural.
Pulse and thermal, all completely static.
Let's see if we can shake him up.
(DOOR CLOSES) Steve Navarro, Head of Station.
Listen, you've been on my side of this plenty of times so I'm just gonna lay it out.
There's a long line of people who will make sure that you answer for the crimes you committed four years ago.
All I care about right now is to find out if you're here in London to harm President Heller.
And I'm not the only one who cares.
There's an order coming to transfer you to the Special Activities division for enhanced interrogation.
You more than anyone know what they're going to do to you down there.
Now, I know how many lives you've saved.
How much the country is in your debt.
But they're just gonna see a man who snapped.
Who went on a revenge spree.
Killing and mutilating with no regard to the law or conscience.
A man who's labeled by his country a criminal.
A terrorist.
(STEADY BEEPING) Son.
I think talking to me is your best option.
Tell me why you're in London.
And I will do everything in my power to stop Special Activities from getting their hands on you.
Come on, Mr.
Bauer.
Why are you here? (DOOR UNLOCKS) Jack Bauer's being transferred down to you, here's his file.
(BEEPING) (DOOR OPENS) (DOOR CLOSES) (CHLOE GRUNTS) Where's the rest of your group, O'Brian? Go to hell! (SCREAMS) No! No! No! (BEEPS) AUDREY; Hey, Mark? Yes, hon? I'm almost ready.
(SIGHS) AUDREY: Hey, is my jewelry box in there? Yeah.
Got it.
Wow.
(CHUCKLES) Here.
You read my mind.
Maybe you shouldn't go to the reception.
Why? Well, with you looking like that, no one's gonna pay any attention to politicians.
No, they're gonna be distracted by your tie.
My tie? Here.
We should probably get going.
Your father's probably downstairs waiting for us.
How's he doing? He's doing good.
I heard he made a mistake in your meeting.
Well it's a mistake anyone would make.
The doctors said he wouldn't be symptomatic for another year.
Well, they also said that stress could exacerbate his condition.
Trust me, he's handling the stress better than I am.
I don't want you to worry, okay? Okay.
(KNOCKING ON DOOR) Come in.
I have an update on the Bauer situation.
Good morning, Mrs.
Boudreau.
Just, uh, want to let you know your car is here.
Thanks, Ron.
We'll see you downstairs.
Okay, I'll be right down.
(DOOR CLOSES) Sorry, sir.
Talk to me.
The transfer order's being processed.
Special activity should have Bauer shortly.
I'm thinking about what happens next, after they get what they can from Bauer.
Well, I imagine he goes on trial.
That may not be the best thing for this country.
Is there an alternative? He could disappear.
The Russians have wanted Bauer's head since he murdered their people.
I want you to explore the possibility of handing him over to them.
Clandestinely.
The President should be made aware.
(SCOFFS) The President has enough on his mind.
Look, you weren't there.
You don't know what Bauer did to that family, what he did to Audrey.
She was lifeless, she was unresponsive.
Under psychiatric care.
Not expected to recover.
I had no idea.
I stood by her for three years.
I held her hand, I loved her, and I brought her back.
As long as she lives, she'll never hear the name Jack Bauer.
Understood.
Just get me what I need.
(CROWD CLAMORING) (CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKING) (CROWD BOOING) (SHUTTER CLICKS) (SIREN BLARES) (SIREN WAILING) NAVARRO: Jack.
Can I call you Jack? Your options are running out fast.
That transfer order is coming through.
After that, I can't help you.
Or I can arrange it so that you can see your daughter again.
Did you know that Kim had another baby? A boy.
Any update on the Bauer intercept? Actually, yeah.
The intercept originated from a local Internet cafe, just on the other side of town.
Did you check the cafe for surveillance cameras? Snake eyes on that, but look.
Here.
JORDAN: The cafe, see where it is? That's three blocks from where we got Bauer.
Whoever planted that intercept had to know our comm protocols, and where Bauer was hiding.
That's a pretty shortlist.
Yeah, I only know one person on it.
What if Bauer sent the message himself? Why would he plant a tip he knew would get himself caught? And that's what we need to find out.
Where you going? Navarro needs to know.
(BEEPS) (DOOR OPENS) NAVARRO: What are you doing? I need to talk to you.
It's important.
This better be good.
The intercept that gave us Bauer's location, it didn't come from Prague police.
Back up.
How do you know about the intercept? It was planted.
It originated just three blocks from where we grabbed Bauer.
I think Bauer may have planted it himself.
So you're saying that Bauer wanted us to catch him? Which explains why he didn't go to the roof during the operation.
He wasn't trying to get away, he was trying to get caught.
That intercept could've been sent by anyone who wanted to catch Bauer.
We need to ask him about it.
If we're right, maybe he'll open up.
MARIANA: Excuse me, sir.
The transfer order.
Well, that's it, Kate.
It's now in Special Activities' hands.
Sir, we can't just let this go.
Get Erik over here.
I want him to take care of the transfer.
Got it? MARIANA: Yes, sir.
(BEEPS) Kate! (DOOR CLOSES) Damn it! Get that door open! That tip from Prague was sent by you, wasn't it? You arranged to be caught.
You wanted to be brought here to this facility.
You're after something or someone.
(MACHINE BEEPING) It's someone, isn't it? Who? Who is it? Who is it? (BEEPS) (DOOR OPENS) Kate! Kate Get out of here right now.
Look, he is flat the entire session, but when I hit him about faking the intercept and wanting to be caught, he spikes.
Let's go.
It's a reaction.
It's means I'm onto something.
Kate! Bauer is here for a reason and we need to find out what it is, and what he's planning on doing.
This isn't about Bauer, this is about Adam.
Adam? Your husband betrayed his country and he betrayed you and now you're transferring your frustration onto Bauer.
That's not what this is about.
Believe me, I understand how you feel.
Adam was my friend.
He betrayed me, too.
You're psychoanalyzing me instead of listening Kate, let it go.
If Bauer's going to Special Activities, then it's a damned good bet that's exactly where he wants to be.
You know what? Forget finishing out the week.
You're leaving now.
Escort her out of here.
MAN: Yes, sir.
(HUFFS) I'll send your personal effects later.
You ignore this, and you're putting the entire building in danger.
Bauer is a violent criminal.
Kate, I really am trying to help you.
It's for the best.
(HANDCUFFS CLICK) (TASER CRACKLES) (GROANS) (BEEPING) (RINGING) (CELLPHONE RINGING) (INDISTINCT CHATTER) Jordan, it's me.
Where are you? I just heard Navarro was having you escorted out of the building.
Listen, I need you to find out if anyone in this building has a prior history with Jack Bauer.
Personnel, detainees, anybody.
Okay, I'm running the cross-check.
I'll call you if I find something.
Okay, thanks.
ERIK: I used to study your missions back in training.
You were really something, Bauer.
Back in the day.
(BEEPING) (BEEPS) Dean, it's me.
(KEYBOARD CLACKING) I'll be right there.
(CLICKS) (BEEPS) (GRUNTS) (GROANS) (GROANS) (GRUNTS) (CHOKES) (PANTS) (KEYS JANGLING) (GRUNTS) Take me to her now.
Hold on.
You know who I am.
Trigger an alarm, and I'll blow your head off.
Now open the door.
(DOOR UNLOCKS) (GRUNTS) Did you do this to her? It's nothing you haven't done.
(GROANS) Chloe.
Come on.
Chloe, wake up.
Damn it.
(GRUNTS) (GASPS) It's all right.
It's all right.
Okay.
Jack, what are you doing here? We got to get out of here.
Come on.
We gotta go.
(RIPPING) You were right about Bauer.
He does have a connection with someone being held by Special Activities.
Please don't ask me how I got into their system.
Who is it? Chloe O'Brien.
She's one of those free-information hackers.
Sending this to your phone now.
(KEYBOARD CLACKING) JORDAN: She was responsible (CELLPHONE CHIMES) for releasing over 10,000 classified DOD files.
Is charged with treason.
She worked with Bauer at CTU for years.
Served time for helping him escape the country.
Son of a bitch.
He's here to break her out.
(SIGHS) (DOOR BEEPS) I'm at Special Activities.
(WHISPERS) Bauer's gone.
Erik's down.
Erik and Brandon are down but alive.
Listen, I want you to initiate a level five lockdown.
Do it on my authority.
You don't have any authority! Just do n! (PHONE BEEPS) (KEYBOARD CLACKING) (ALARM BLARING) (COCKS GUN) (ALARM CONTINUES) What the hell is going on? Why are we on lockdown? Bauer's trying to escape, sir.
Kate's down there right now.
Kate? Come on, Chloe.
You can make it! (PANTING) I need you to take cover behind that wall.
(GAS HISSES) (HISSES) (GRUNTS) This way.
Stay down here.
Stay down.
KATE: Bauer! You're done.
You're not getting out of here! Drop your weapon! Drop it! (GUN CLATTERS) Okay, now put your hands behind your head.
Come on.
Put your hands behind your head.
Do it.
On your knees.
Where's O'Brian? (CLICKS) (BEEPING) Go ahead.
You got her? (COUGHS) (GROANS) We gotta go.
Get down! Get down! (ENGINE STARTS) Go! (TIRES SCREECH) (BULLETS IMPACTING) I just love this city.
You can feel the history.
I know that look.
What's your problem? The mistake you made in your meeting.
Mark said it was nothing.
That I shouldn't worry.
(INHALES SHARPLY) It's progressing a lot quicker than the doctors anticipated.
It's terrifying, the thought of slowly losing yourself.
Not just the memories, but all of it.
What do you want to do? Right now, I want to lock up this treaty with the British.
Okay.
HELLER: Don't say anything to Mark.
I'll speak to him when the time is right.
(INDISTINCT TALKING) (ELECTRICITY CRACKLES) (WOMAN TALKING OVER RADIO) Running recovery protocols.
It's gonna be at least 20 minutes before I can try and access local CCTV to look for Bauer.
Let me know as soon as we're back up.
JORDAN: Yes, sir.
We're laying down a search grid, starting with a 10-block perimeter, activating off-duty agents.
You're not gonna find him.
Thanks for the confidence.
Well, look at how he planned this.
He knows our protocols, he knows the layout of this facility, he even knows that Special Activities keeps the identity of their prisoners classified.
So what do you suggest, we just give up? I want everything that Special Activities has on Chloe O'Brian.
We track down her known associates, we break down the intel for where she might go.
There's no "we.
" You are not part of this station anymore.
Can I talk to you alone' please? Sir.
Make sure local fire and police follow our security protocols.
And if they give you any trouble, remind them we've got consular status.
Sir Do it.
KATE: Look at what Jack did, and he was here for how long? Look, we need to find him.
So let me do it.
Put me back in the field.
You have to understand, I am under a microscope here, all right? The President's Chief of Staff is already all over me about Bauer.
And I'm your best shot at getting him back.
Look, yes, Adam was a traitor, and I missed it, but I didn't miss this.
I'm the only one who saw it coming.
I got inside Bauer's head.
Nobody else did that.
(STUTTERS) Not Erik, and not even you.
And if you think the Chief of Staff is up your ass right now, imagine what he's gonna do when he finds out that you had a heads up on this and you dismissed it.
Kate, are you threatening me? (INHALES SHARPLY) I can do this, okay? I can find Bauer.
I'm asking you to let me.
Belcheck, pull over at the end of the block.
Chloe, Chloe, look at me.
Are you all right? Yeah.
Okay, good, 'cause we need to move fast.
Take this phone.
It's gonna be secure for at least an hour.
They're gonna mobilize after me, so we need to separate.
Can you get somewhere safe? Chloe? Can you get somewhere safe? I think so.
Okay, good.
(BREATHES HEAVILY) I will find you on that cell phone as soon as I'm secure.
Now we gotta go, okay? Now come on.
You got a signal from the transmitter that we put in her phone? Yes.
I still think you should have just asked her to help.
I couldn't take the chance she'd say no.
I thought you said she was your friend.
I don't have any friends.
Let's go.
(TIRES SCREECH) (BEEPS) D-11-3, angels five, all clear.
Mission complete.
Moving on to next assignment.
Turning south.
What is this? What the What's going on? Oh, no, no! (BEEPS) My God.
(PHONE RINGING) Major Shepherd.
Sir, you need to get away from that vehicle! You're being targeted! What are you talking about? Targeted by who? Somethings taken control of my drone! It's armed a missile to attack! What? I don't understand it either, sir, but you need to get to cover right now! (BEEPING) TANNER; Get to cover now, sir! Sir, move, move! No! No! (GASPS) (BEEPING) (GASPS) (CROWD CLAMORING) Taken casualties.
I repeat, we have taken casualties.
It's done.
