[NARRATOR READS ON-SCREEN TEXT]
Hassan's security forces in the Islamic Republic...
...are sweeping the capital, arresting opposition leaders.
And if he continues, it may delegitimize the peace accord.
I can't vouch for you as a reformer, Mr. President...
...if you renege on your human rights obligations.
My brother tried to kill me...
...helped by elements within my own government.
Killing President Hassan was only part of his brother's plan.
CTU now believes he is also trying to acquire weapons-grade uranium.
- When can I take possession of the rods? - As soon as we have the money.
- I found a doctor who can treat him. BAZHAEV: No doctors.
The authorities know about the nuclear material.
Putting Oleg in a clinic would lead them right to us.
Dr. Levine.
- How did you get in here? - My brother is sick.
- I'm gonna call you an ambulance. - No.
No one can know about this.
No... No.
What do you want?
You're a data analyst for CTU.
You got access to all sorts of good stuff.
Yeah, but not unrestricted access.
Payout's gotta be at least six figures.
You were undercover for two years with the Russian Mob.
You're asking me to go back in?
Vladimir was obsessed with her. It turned violent.
- Did he rape her? - It looks like he tried a couple of times.
Can we talk about this deal now?
I wish it were that simple.
- Tie her up. RENEE: What?
You're making a mistake. This is the chance of a lifetime.
This operation is over. Vladimir didn't take the bait.
Renee, it's Jack. I know you can hear me.
I'm on my way now.
You don't wanna do this deal, then you might as well just kill me...
...because this deal is the only thing that I have.
Do it!
Pull the trigger!
I had to be sure.
Jack, are you there? What's going on?
She's in. They bought her cover.
[NARRATOR READS ON-SCREEN TEXT]
JACK: Renee, I've got a visual on you. I'm going off comm for a minute.
You all right?
CHLOE: CTU, O'Brian.
Chloe, I want you to monitor Renee's comm.
- I need to speak to Hastings. - Okay.
I'm here, Jack.
JACK: Pull Renee Walker out now. - Based on what?
She's a danger to herself and this mission.
Ten minutes ago, Laitanan threatened to execute her.
Said she was sick of living and wanted to die.
- She must be playing him. - No.
She doesn't care what happens. That's what makes her dangerous.
She's like a bomb ready to go off. We need to get her out.
I understand, but we can't just roll up this operation...
...before we find those nuclear rods.
We can arrest Laitanan. If he knows, I will make him talk.
If you're saying what I think you are, we don't do that anymore.
Then you do what you do well. Offer him immunity or something.
This is the Russian Syndicate.
They're very secretive. They protect their own.
It is highly unlikely that Laitanan would cooperate.
Find another way.
I'm not gonna let Renee die because CTU did their job badly.
I will not let that happen. You understand?
If you can think of something, I will listen.
But right now, Renee is the only hope we have of neutralizing this threat.
And on my order, she stays in play.
Jack?
I'll find a way to get her out when I go in as the buyer.
I'll stay under in her place.
Do we have a deal?
As long as you can do it without risking the mission.
I give you my word.
Agent Ortiz will meet you at the staging area with the TAC team.
He'll have everything you need for...
Hold on. They're moving.
I need to get back on comm.
We'll go back to my shop and we will discuss this buyer of yours.
HASTINGS: Dana.
Start forwarding mission status reports to the Nuclear Emergency Team.
I want them ready to go in as soon as we find these rods.
I'm on it, sir.
[PHONE RINGS]
- Yeah? - It's me. I've got something.
Damn, you're fast. Okay. Hold on.
Okay, go. Ahem, let's hear it.
It's an NYPD evidence lockup.
According to the manifest...
...a local Vice group just impounded a stash of drug money.
It will be held there for the next 48 hours.
- How much? - A hundred and twenty thousand.
All right. What's the plan?
You'll go in and take it.
What? Break into a police station?
Not a police station. It's a warehouse.
Most of the security is automated. I can manipulate it from here.
You walk in, you walk out with the cash. I'll talk you through it.
I need to access their security codes...
- ... work up a keycard to get you inside. - How long?
Meet me outside in 20 minutes.
ARLO: Did you take care of your situation?
Situation?
The big mystery you had to leave work for.
Oh, yeah. It's fine.
What do you need, Arlo?
I'm getting 5 percent lag in my drone's ABS controls.
With everything on, I'm just running hot.
Okay. I'll make sure to free up some memory space...
...on the ancillary servers.
Thanks.
You know, if there's something bothering you...
...you've always got my shoulder to cry on. Or any other body part.
I will keep that in mind.
But for now, focus on running aerial support for Walker and Bauer.
Okay.
Let's go.
Lugo, take a break.
I want to talk to her alone.
All right. You have my attention.
Tell me about this buyer.
His name is Ernst Meier. German arms dealer.
- Never heard of him. - Does most of his business in Asia.
- Started branching into North America. - What's he looking to buy?
Weapons-grade uranium.
- You're serious. - Very.
Someone in the Russian Syndicate...
...smuggled nuclear fuel rods out of the Ukraine.
They're planning on selling them on the open market.
I have no idea what you're talking about.
I don't, Renee.
But you can find out. You're very well-connected.
I have always admired your ambition.
But you're chasing the devil.
Dealing AK-47 s, no one really cares.
But nuclear material?
But the profit is worth it.
You need money, huh? You can always come work for me.
No, I'm doing this so I don't ever have to work for anyone.
Have a seat. If I could find out...
...what would it be worth?
Thirty percent of the deal.
I don't have to tell you, that's more money...
...than you could possibly know what to do with.
Meier says these are gonna be sold soon.
So if we wanna make a counter bid, it has to happen fast.
If you don't know anything, tell me, so I can go somewhere else.
How well do you know this man? You trust him?
There's no one I trust more.
- I've been with him for two years. - What do you mean with?
It's professional.
Can you help us or not?
I'll make a few calls, see what I can find out.
But, uh, I'm gonna have to meet this Meier.
And I need a good faith payment up front.
- How much? - Five million.
That's a lot of money, Vlad.
I'm taking big risk making these calls. Five million is nothing...
...compared to what your buyer will have to pay for nuclear fuel rods.
Fine.
I'll ask him, but I can't make any promises.
He wants my help...
...that's the price of admission. - Okay.
A parking garage on the corner of 12th and Market Street.
Someone will meet him there, on the roof.
Once the money is in our account, they will bring him back here, we will talk.
I'll give him a call.
It's good to see you.
You're going to make me start losing sleep again.
I'll let you know what Meier says.
I'll tell my men.
I'll give you privacy for your call.
Were you listening?
Yeah. We're ready to wire the money.
- When can you be there? - Soon as I finish prepping.
I'm almost at the staging area. Thirty minutes tops.
How are you holding up?
It's hard to be in the same room with this son of a bitch.
- But I can handle it. - I'll be there as soon as I can.
Okay.
Morphine will take effect in just a few moments.
[GASPS]
Don't worry, Oleg. You're gonna be fine.
It, uh, might help me if I knew exactly what happened to your brother.
How did he get exposed to weapons-grade uranium?
Don't worry about that.
Just make sure he lives.
[PHONE RINGING]
It's him again, isn't it? The second time he's called.
You should answer it.
- Hello? - Why aren't you picking up your phone?
I called you twice.
Must have been in the tunnel.
Ulana says you're not at the house. Where are you?
Stuck in traffic. Tell her it's gonna be a while.
- How is Oleg? - He's okay. Sleeping.
Let me know when you get to the house.
I will.
It was him, wasn't it?
Hey.
Don't worry. Okay?
By the time he finds out, you'll already have been treated.
It won't matter.
[KNOCKING ON DOOR]
It's just your brother's test results.
Okay.
You say or do anything that I don't like...
...and my men will kill your wife and daughter.
Open the door.
- Blood work you ordered. - Thank you.
- I noticed there was no patient name. - Uh...
You're right. I forgot to put that down.
NURSE: I can do... - I'll take care of it later.
Is everything okay, doctor?
Fine. I'm just working a little later...
...than I expected. NURSE: Okay.
You did good. What does it say?
Your brother has been exposed to at least 400 rems.
Chemical toxicity of the radiation is causing renal failure.
I know it's serious. Can you help him or not?
He needs a bone marrow transplant.
That requires a six-man surgical team in a fully equipped facility.
There has to be something you can do right here, right now.
There are drugs, help flush out the radiation...
...and stimulate white blood cell repair. But that's a half-measure.
I can't guarantee he'll recover.
My brother is not going to die.
It's up to you, doctor.
Now, get to work.
Okay. Got it.
That was CTU. Your offshore account is in place.
Forwarding instructions to your PDA on how to wire the money.
Excuse me.
COLE: I spoke with Hastings.
As soon as we have confirmation...
...that Laitanan can get us to the rods, we're pulling Renee.
That's right.
What's going on? Hastings said something about her being unstable.
I don't have time to explain it. Just follow my lead.
But how do you wanna work this?
I don't know yet.
All right. Well, I got two teams running coordinated drive-bys.
- They'll be ready. - These guys own this neighborhood.
They'll have eyes everywhere. Your men will be spotted.
I've done this before, Jack. I ran an operation just like it in Fallujah.
And I'm in command. You're gonna do exactly what I tell you.
RENEE [OVER RADIO]: Jack, stand by.
I hear him coming.
Laitanan is back.
I need to listen to this. Excuse me.
LAITANAN: Renee.
I spoke to my men. Did you get your buyer on the phone?
He agreed. He'll be at the garage in 20 minutes.
Very good. We have a little time to catch up.
- Do you still like your single malts? - Uh, not right now.
- You sure? It's 30-year. - No, thanks.
What you said earlier, down at the river.
You're tired of living, wanted to die.
What happened to you?
It's not important.
It is to me.
You don't have to worry.
Once I make this deal, none of it will matter.
You're not the only one who's been suffering these past few years.
It's hard for me to admit...
...but, uh, I never forgave myself for what I did to you.
It's in the past. Forget it.
LAITANAN: I don't want to forget it.
I had too much to drink that night. I wasn't thinking clearly.
Wow, I've never heard you apologize for anything.
It's definitely a first.
I'm trying to make things right. You don't have to be a bitch.
Was I being a bitch? Maybe I should apologize.
Oh, you're something else. You never back down, do you?
I've missed our little arguments.
You're still nervous around me.
I shouldn't be surprised.
It's not you.
LAITANAN: Someone else? RENEE: No.
LAITANAN: What is it, then? - Look, I'm just nervous about the deal.
Could be a lot of money at stake.
There's more for you here than just money, if you want it.
Look...
...I didn't come here for this.
Really? All the people you could've gone to, you knocked on my door.
Because you're connected.
- That's the only reason? - Yes.
I don't believe you.
That's your problem.
You should watch your tongue. You might lose it one day.
Uh...
You said I could get cleaned up.
Yeah.
Bathroom has a shower.
- Thank you. - Yeah.
Agent Ortiz, we need to move now. Now!
Renee called her buyer.
He agreed to pay the 5 million up front.
I want you to meet with him. Take a couple of men.
This is a mistake, Vlad. Getting involved in nuclear arms...
...it doesn't matter how much money is at stake.
- I have no intention of pursuing this deal. - What do you mean?
When you've picked up the buyer...
...when the money's transferred into our account...
...you kill him, put him in the river, keep the money for ourselves.
What about Renee?
She'll be working with us from now on.
We are going to kill her buyer?
She's not going to be happy about that.
You heard what she said. Got nothing left. Nowhere to go.
Desperate woman.
I give her reason to live.
Okay?
I'll take care of it.
President Hassan's security forces, still cracking down on the opposition...
...and they're not showing any signs of letting up.
I'm afraid your warning to Hassan has fallen on deaf ears, Madam President.
Who filmed this?
BBC bought it from an eyewitness.
They've already seen it in Downing Street?
That's why Ethan wanted you to see this now.
The rumors have already started that the British are pulling out...
...as signatories to the accord. - I need to talk to the prime minister.
Not just the British, Madam President.
The Germans and Egyptians are also positioning themselves to pull out.
- And if we lose their support... - The peace deal is dead.
If they understood the circumstances that Hassan is trying...
...to prevent his brother from acquiring a weapon.
With respect, Madam President...
...sharing that intelligence might spread a panic.
You're right.
But I still need to buy some time.
Assemble the representatives...
...from every signatory country attending the conference.
I want to appeal to them myself to stay the course.
What about President Hassan?
Shouldn't we include him?
Not until I've taken the temperature of the delegates.
I don't wanna push him too hard.
What is it?
As you requested.
These are backgrounds on all the detainees.
Our security have completed their sweep of the capital city.
Sixty-five members of the opposition have been arrested and are being questioned.
Have you learned anything? Were any of them working with my brother?
It's too early to tell.
What's wrong, sir?
One of the suspects has family connections...
...to a member of my delegation here at the UN.
Who?
Jamot. They are cousins.
Doesn't mean Jamot is involved in any of this.
We need to make sure.
We'll check his phone records and recent activities for suspicious behavior.
Good. But I also want him taken into custody.
- Sir? - Arrest him.
Take him to our embassy for interrogation.
Mr. President, with respect, Jamot is a trusted member of your inner circle.
The evidence against him is purely circumstantial.
I trusted my brother as well.
Are you sure this is what you want?
He is a public official. It will not go unnoticed.
I don't care!
I don't care what anyone thinks.
I was almost killed today.
Or have you forgotten?
I was in the car with you, sir.
Then you should know what needs to be done.
Yes, sir.
ARLO: Forget about me? - What?
My name is Arlo Glass. I'm one of your coworkers at CTU.
You said you'd free up some memory space on the auxiliary servers.
I'm getting to it.
We're in the middle of an operation. My aerial feed is running in slow-motion.
It's next on my list, Arlo.
- Where are you going now? - To the bathroom. Is that okay with you?
Hey, O'Brian. You notice anything weird about Dana?
Miss Perfect?
She seems distracted. Always making excuses to leave.
- Maybe she's avoiding you. - What?
That's what I'd do if someone were drooling over me.
You're lucky she hasn't reported you to H.R.
If you weren't jealous, you'd see I was asking you a serious question.
Oh, yeah. I'm jealous.
Please, won't you stare at my ass as I walk away?
- Thank you. - You're welcome.
Stay here.
This has the address and schematic of the lockup.
You'll go through the southeast entrance. This keycard will get you access.
How do we find the money?
The evidence bins are numbered. You're looking for 4301.
This is a dedicated comm unit. It's an earpiece. You'll be able to hear me.
Do what I tell you to do. You'll be in and out.
No one will know you were there.
Listen...
...I help you do this and you never call me again.
That's the deal, right?
Sure, Jen.
That's the deal.
I'll call you when we get to the lockup.
- Okay. - Okay.
You look thin.
Be out in a minute.
I don't want to wait that long.
Vladimir, please. Just let me get dressed.
Why waste the energy?
I'll just have to get you undressed all over again.
I already told you. I didn't come here for this.
That's what you say, but part of you came here to see me. Admit it.
RENEE: There's nothing to admit.
Why is it so hard for you to admit the truth?
You want this just as much as I do.
I'm not gonna tell you again.
Leave me alone and let me get dressed.
Come here.
I said come here.
Either come here or get out.
I call my men and the deal is off.
I'II, uh... I'll take that drink now.
Dry yourself off.
Come out when you're ready.
JACK: Renee, do you copy?
Yeah, Jack.
You don't have to do this.
Got a team standing by. We can get you out of there now.
Where would that leave us?
I've gotta stay under.
JACK: We'll find another way.
There is no other way.
JACK: Renee.
Don't do this.
- Renee... - Go meet Vlad's men.
- See you when you get here. - Why won't you listen?
- I'm going dark. - Renee, wait...
These are making it difficult for my government...
...to support the peace agreement.
President Hassan can't ignore the repercussions of what he's doing.
I know President Hassan. He is a rational man, a good man.
There must be reason for these actions. I'm not speaking as his delegate...
...but as his friend. MAN: As his friend...
...let him know that my government...
...is not the only one with grave concerns.
- This conference is at risk of falling apart. - Sorry to interrupt.
Mr. Jamot, may I speak with you privately?
Yes. Of course.
- Excuse me. - Of course.
What is it?
I've been ordered to escort you to the embassy to answer some questions.
- Regarding? - An internal security matter.
Please come with us.
Well, I would like to know what this is about.
We'll explain everything at the embassy.
It will wait. I am about to go into a meeting.
It cannot wait, sir.
We need to go right now.
Are you arresting me?
It would be best if we kept this discreet.
This is outrageous.
I demand to speak with President Hassan.
President Hassan is the one who gave this order.
I will not ask you again.
Come with us.
Very well.
Take him to the car. I'll be right there.
- Is everything all right? - Everything is fine. Please excuse me.
[PHONE RINGS]
- Hello. - It's me. Are you alone?
Yes.
- What's wrong? - I didn't want to burden you with this...
...but I need to speak with you about your father.
- What is it? - I have to go to the embassy now.
I'll meet you in private when I get back.
You're gonna give him vindesine twice daily, morning and night.
Inject it right into the IV bag just like I'm doing.
You're gonna wanna be careful.
Radiation poisoning is transferable through bodily fluids.
- Are you paying attention? - Yes. I see.
He's also gonna get cisplatin every other day.
But he can take that in pill form. I'm gonna give you three weeks' worth.
- How will I know if he's getting better? - Lf the treatment is working...
...his symptoms will begin to subside in seven to 10 days.
We're gonna be leaving soon.
- Where? - To the country house.
The doctor is giving me everything I need to treat you.
You're gonna get better, Oleg.
[KNOCKING ON DOOR]
That's the nurse with the rest of the medicine.
Throw down your weapon, Josef.
Do what I said.
Don't make this worse than it is.
Drop it.
You son of a bitch.
Who else knows about Oleg's sickness?
- Who else knows? - Just the doctor.
- Are you sure? - I'm sure.
Undo him.
Hey, wait. Stop. What are you doing?
Your father sent us to bring you home.
- Now, Josef. OLEG: Josef.
It's okay. Just do what he says.
I have him.
- We found them. - Where were they?
A clinic in Mount Vernon.
- How many people found out about Oleg? - Only one, a doctor.
We've taken care of him. Nobody will know we were here.
Good. Now, bring my sons to me.
[SPEAKING IN RUSSIAN]
Let's go.
- Meier? - That's right.
You are from Germany.
Bremen. But I grew up traveling with my father.
[IN GERMAN]
Are we gonna do business or not?
- Where is the 5 million? JACK: You don't see any money...
...until I talk to Laitanan. LUGO: If you have questions, ask me.
I don't wanna talk to you.
Get him on the phone or I drive away.
Now.
[PHONE RINGS]
- Yes? LUGO: Meier is here.
He won't transfer the money until he speaks with you first.
Put him on.
This is Meier.
Yes, Mr. Meier. What's the problem?
After you get your money, how long until I get my information?
Not very long. I just have to make a few calls. No more than an hour.
Where is Renee?
She's busy.
I would like to talk to her.
LAITANAN: You can see her when you get here.
We have nothing to discuss until the money is in place.
Now get Lugo on the phone.
Fine.
Go ahead.
Once the money is confirmed into our account, you know what to do.
Yes.
I need your account number.
I'm transferring the money through multiple accounts...
...so it can't be traced. This will take a moment.
We'll wait.
Is it done?
- Not yet. - The partner is good for the money.
You should be making calls, tracking the rods.
I'm not going to make calls...
...because there isn't going to be any deal with your partner.
What are you talking about?
Once we have the money...
...it's over. We don't need him anymore.
And we'll be $5 million richer.
You son of a bitch.
I'm not about to get involved with people who traffic in nuclear arms.
Vladimir. Listen, you can't do this.
This man means something to you?
I worked for a year to make this deal.
I'm not gonna let it go because you don't have the guts.
This isn't about guts, this is being smart.
Really? Is it smart to keep selling small arms for the rest of your life?
I bring you the score of a lifetime and you just piss it away? For $5 million?
- How long is that gonna last you? - Long enough.
You're more than all this. I know it.
It's why I brought this deal to you.
We can do this.
Together.
Once we've made the deal and we have the money...
...we can be together.
We could start over.
Make our own moves.
But I need my buyer.
Alive.
Sorry.
This is the way I want it. You'll see.
It's for the best.
What are you doing?
Making a call.
Put down the phone.
I said put it down!
Don't ever go against me!
- Renee, you should know that by now. - Unh.
Okay?
How much longer?
It's almost done.
There.
The money is in your account.
LUGO: Thank you, Mr. Meier.
[GUNSHOTS]
[GRUNTING]
Drop the weapon. Now! Drop it!
You really think I'm that stupid? That I'd come here alone?
Call your man. Do it!
Give me the phone.
[PHONE RINGING]
I see we have the money.
Is Meier dead?
I've just taken out three of your men...
- ... and I'm ready to take out the fourth. - Meier.
You really think you can roll me for $5 million?
Where is Renee?
She's right here. She's fine.
I want proof now!
Say something to your partner.
Meier, are you okay?
Satisfied?
Renee told me you were ready to take your organization to the next level.
- Apparently she's wrong. - Not necessarily.
I'm willing to reconsider the situation.
The only thing you should consider yourself is lucky.
I still want this deal to happen. Otherwise, you'd be dead.
Try this again, we're going to war and that's the last thing you want.
- Let me talk to my man. - Fine.
Yes?
Bring him back here.
LUGO: Are you sure?
Yeah.
He wants to see you.
Get up.
Move to the driver's side door.
Slowly.
I'm sorry, Oleg.
Leave us.
I couldn't let him die.
He's my brother.
And he's my son.
Do you think this is any easier for me?
It would've worked. The doctor was treating him.
You disobeyed me, Josef.
You put this family at risk.
You put this family at risk when you sent those men into the clinic.
They killed three people!
What do you think is gonna happen when the police start to investigate?
Who are you to question my judgment?
You are my first-born.
You, of all people, should give me respect.
I do respect you.
But this time you're wrong.
The doctor said that Oleg could be treated.
He showed me how.
All we need is the medicine.
- There are rules, Josef. - Ugh!
BAZHAEV: They are simple rules. - Unh!
They must never be broken.
Never endanger the family. Never.
And never disobey an order from your father.
[SPEAKING IN RUSSIAN]
No, please. No.
You make me do this, Josef.
Please. Please don't.
I'm sorry, my son.
Get up.
Now, call Father Gregor.
He'll pray over Oleg.
When he's finished...
...we'll bury your brother.
Never disobey me again.
MAN [OVER PHONE]: Security. Gate nine.
Yeah, this is Arlo Glass, senior analyst here at CTU.
We're just taking some extra precautions today...
...Iogging any visitors who've been in and out.
There been movement on the satellite or traffic cams in the parking garage?
I don't know. Arlo's on it.
Kevin Wade. And he was visiting?
Dana Walsh. And did he say that he was a friend? I gotta go. Ahem.
- What are you doing? - This is not what it looks like.
You mean you're not being a creepy stalker?
Your job is to monitor the traffic cams in the garage for when Jack comes out.
You're slacking. Have you even coordinated with Metro Control?
[WHISPERS] No. Yes. I'm on it. Just look at this.
Dana's been visited twice today...
...by this guy with really questionable facial hair.
And for some reason, she's covering it up.
I don't wanna see that.
Did she say anything to you about this guy?
Yeah, when we were in the bathroom braiding each other's hair.
You seriously think this is how you get girls?
But if you're that desperate, let me give you a little advice.
Girls appreciate flowers, romantic gestures.
[SIGHS]
Have you tried online dating?
[IN NORMAL VOICE] Calibrating traffic cams now.
I just need to free up some bandwidth.
I'll check with Dana to see if Cole's called in yet.
- Is there a problem, Arlo? ARLO: No. Nothing.
Everything's fine.
[WHISPERS] He's so weird.
[ENGLISH - US - SDH]
