Kevin Wade, you know him, don't you?
Mr. Prady, we are in the middle of a national security crisis.
- I have to go back to my desk. Okay.
Perhaps if I talk to your supervisor, he could let you take a few minutes off.
It's over. The parole officer looking for Kevin is here at CTU.
He's after the raw feed. I'm gonna give it to him, Cole.
- Why don't you wait? - Do you hear me?
He knows everything, he'll go to Hastings.
Do what he says and you won't get hurt.
Who is he? Another traitor?
The only traitor is your father.
- We haven't disabled the detectors yet. - Where are the nuclear rods?
- Still outside the city. - How will you bring the rods?
It's been taken care of.
Let's go.
Stop them!
Tarin, no!
Mr. Hastings, it's Kayla Hassan. She's in a car, she's escaped.
They tried to kill me, but Tarin got me out. They shot him.
He told me to call CTU.
Miss Hassan, my name is Jack Bauer.
We need to know where you were being held.
We've got the location.
Targets are heading north on Orchard.
They're getting into an SUV.
We ID'd one of the targets. It's Faroush.
Kayla said he sacrificed himself to save her, but he's alive.
- The car that Tarin got into, where is it? - The first exit off Williamsburg Bridge.
- You gotta put Hastings on now. - I'm on, Jack.
You cannot let Kayla Hassan in. The terrorists wanted to get her to CTU.
She's in the tunnel. Stop the car! Whoa! Whoa!
- Put your hands where we can see them. - It's an EMP!
- What the hell's happening? - Contact NSA.
The terrorists just took out CTU.
Go. Go. Go.
You all right? Yeah.
Over here. Over here, let's go. Move.
You okay? Yeah.
Sir.
- Central comm node is totally fried. - Reroute to peripherals.
- I already tried that. - Try again, Chloe.
I can't give you the status on the drones. Everything's down.
Which means they're going to fall out of the sky?
Not yet. The nav systems should default to autopilot.
They'll circle until they run out of gas.
We've lost aerial surveillance and radiological-detection capability?
Basically.
All right. Agent Skaggs is heading outside on foot.
Have him contact FAA with the drones' default flight paths.
They need to be taken down before they crash into populated areas.
- Yes, sir. - Okay.
- Are you okay? - Am I okay?
An EMP just took us out of play, and now we're dropping the ball...
...on a radiological threat against New York City.
No, Chloe, I am not okay, and I won't be until we find those rods.
Sir, Kayla Hassan is finished in Medical.
I need her taken back her to the U.N. So she can be evacuated.
- I'll do it. No, I'll do it.
Assemble division heads. Tell them we have a briefing in 10 minutes.
Tell them to come with full-damage-assessment reports.
Sir, their systems are down. They can't generate reports.
Then tell them to use a pen and a damn legal pad.
Phil Holden. It's Jack Bauer.
Jack, I heard you were back in play.
- Don't have a lot of time, listen carefully. Go ahead.
An IRK splinter cell's trying to smuggle weapons-grade uranium into the city.
I just read the threat assessment. It says you've got a CTU team tracking them.
We did, but we lost them. CTU got hit by some electromagnetic-pulse device.
Wiped out all our visual and comm.
I want you to locate our hostiles with one of your satellites.
We don't have any birds over the metro area, Jack.
All aerial surveillance was being routed through CTU.
What about traffic cams?
I can try.
Give me the hostiles' location.
Williamsburg Bridge, West Broadway-Roebling Street exit.
They're driving a gray SUV.
I'll call you if we get a hit.
Also shut down all bridge and tunnel traffic into the city.
Done. - Thanks.
- Where you going? - NSA's shutting bridge and tunnel traffic.
- There's only one way for them to get in. - Across the East River.
That's right.
ALl: CTU is down. - You have confirmation?
ALl: I have a real-time uplink to the power grid.
It recorded a pulse surge and now nothing.
CTU is blind, deaf and dumb.
- Have you secured this area? ALl: As you ordered.
- You've done well, Ali. - Thank you.
Load the rods into the Zodiac.
I realize this was very difficult for you...
...but Hassan's daughter was a necessary sacrifice.
Using her was the only way for us to get the rods into the city.
Easy.
Agents Beck and Henderson will escort you back to the U.N.
- First, tell me what's going on. - Agent Beck will brief you on the way.
Once there, we need you to do something.
Your father gave us a file of IRK covert agents operating in this country.
We need you to identify the men working with Tarin.
I'm not doing anything until you tell me what's happening.
The car you drove here was rigged with an EMP device.
It's a pulse weapon designed to disarm electronics.
It's crashed all our systems.
I don't understand. Tarin put me in that car.
He used you, Miss Hassan.
He staged your escape, put you in that car and sent you back here.
But he was shot. I saw him.
He is alive.
We spotted him a few minutes ago.
I know it's a lot to take in, but you need to go with these agents to the U. N...
...and start looking through those files.
You've seen these terrorists.
If you can help us to ID them...
...we stand a chance of finding them before they carry out their attack.
Good. See you soon.
Ahman has prepared the bomb.
It'll be short work once we get the rods across the river.
A vehicle is coming.
Where is it? - It's coming from the east.
Black SUV, no markings.
- How many men have you got covering? - Three.
Wait until the SUV's in range, then take them out.
Ali, let's go.
- Hold on. - What is it?
I thought I caught something in the infrared.
Heat source by the water. Now it's gone.
See if N.Y.P.D. Can get units down here.
I'll contact NSA, see if they've got surveillance of the area.
That's weird. I got four bars but the call's not going through.
Me neither.
We're being jammed. They're here. Damn it.
Get down, now!
Come on.
Vehicle's dead, pass your weapons up front.
Cole, take the sniper to your north.
- Maintain coverage. Copy that.
I want you to get ready to unload all the weapons from the back, ready?
- Yes, sir. - Let's go.
How did they know where to look for us?
They must have followed us from the vault.
Cole, use your infrared. Call out the snipers as you see them.
Ten o'clock, high and low!
I'm counting four men. I recognize one from the hospital.
He was the one that talked Marcos out of detonating the vest.
It's Jack Bauer.
Ex-CTU. He was one of their best agents.
Nine o'clock, low!
We can still cross with the rods.
As long as we're certain Bauer cannot warn anyone.
It's not a risk.
We jammed their communications as soon as they were in sight.
Now they can't leave. Not with the snipers in position.
Good.
Make sure none of them get out alive.
I'll call you when we're across the river. Let's move.
Reloading!
I've got two men leaving the dock in a boat. One of them's Tarin Faroush.
They're carrying a box the right size and shape for the rods.
Copy that!
They're out of my range. Notify N.Y.P.D. Before they cross the river.
I tried cell and radio frequencies. They're all jammed.
There's a call box mounted on the building. Ten o'clock.
- It's gotta be a hard line. Call from there. How you wanna get there?
The way the shooters are positioned...
...they'll pick us off as soon as we step out from behind the vehicle.
Our vehicle's armored. Pull the panels, use them for cover.
Owen, King, start now.
Eleven o'clock, Jack!
Casualty reports are also coming in.
Three fatalities from the bomb blast in the motor pool tunnel.
- Damn it. What else? - Minor injuries for the most part.
Agent McCallan was burned in a small electrical fire.
- How is he? - He's gonna be okay.
But with our infirmary down, we had to transport him to the local hospital.
Says here we have flooding.
The pumps are down and sections of the basement have about 6 inches of water.
- Can you stop it or we going to drown? - A repair crew's working on it, sir.
Give me another update in 20 minutes.
Excuse me, sir. - Yes, what is it?
A team from NSA is here.
NSA?
Go.
Brian Hastings, director of CTU.
Frank Haynam, senior engineer at the New York field office.
- I understand you've been hit by an EMP. That's right.
I hope you're here to help because we can use it.
We are indeed. Brought my best men with me.
Thought we'd start by restoring aerial surveillance and communications.
- Where's your server room? - Downstairs.
I'll let my team know you're here. You boys can put your heads together.
I prefer to work with my own people.
There's no one more familiar with this facility than my crew.
Not exactly true. I was part of the group that helped design this place.
Can't say I'm thrilled with what you've done with it.
How did you find out we were hit?
Jack Bauer called our regional headquarters. Told us your situation.
Bauer was pursuing the men behind this attack when we lost contact with him.
Do you know where he is?
NSA's been trying to call him back. He's not answering.
They're not sure why.
Right this way.
We're supposed to be writing assessments. What are you doing?
There might be a way to get some of our systems running.
- How? - I haven't figured it out yet...
...and I won't if you keep talking to me. All right, people, listen up.
This is Frank Haynam, senior engineer of the NSA's New York field office.
He and his team will help us restore aerial surveillance and communications.
So we can get back to tracking the nuclear rods.
They also brought along a fresh batch of cell phones.
Give them your full cooperation. Whatever they need, make it happen.
Now, we have been knocked down...
...but I promise you, we are going to get back up.
Let's get to work.
Agent Blochard, can you get Mr. Haynam and his team down to the server room?
Come with me for authorizations.
Has NSA heard from Jack?
They spoke with Jack 20 minutes ago but haven't been able to reach him since.
- Why not? They don't know.
He could be in trouble. You need to send men out.
Even if I had agents, I wouldn't know where to send them.
Jack was heading toward the East River. Four square miles of real estate.
Too much for me to commit resources we don't have.
He was pursuing the terrorists.
- He's our chance at stopping this attack. - We focus our efforts here.
When we get our eyes and ears back, we'll find him.
It might be too late.
If anyone can take care of themselves, it's Jack.
Go to the server room, make sure Haynam has everything he needs.
Wait. What was the, um?
It's worse than I thought, 90 percent of these components are fried.
We're gonna have to swap them out and install new server boards.
Mr. Haynam?
Mr. Hastings wanted me to make sure you have everything you need.
We're fine. Thank you.
You're going in through the CLR processor?
We're gonna isolate it from the main servers and create a subnet.
Creating a brand-new subnet from scratch. That'll take forever.
Thanks for offering your help. We'll take it from here.
There's another way. I've been looking at the CTU schematics.
- Why not tap directly into the trunk line? - Because I'm not insane.
We need to make sure those nuclear rods don't get into the city.
What I'm suggesting will be a lot faster.
- And it could make things a lot worse. - How could things be any worse?
You reopen that line without buffers in place, you could cause an overload.
Wind up electrocuting yourself, starting a fire that could burn down the building.
I'm aware of the risks. I can create a workaround.
You couldn't keep an EMP from taking out your whole operation.
Forgive me if I don't bow to your expertise.
If you'd stop with the cheap insults and listen...
I'm not here to brainstorm.
I'm here to clean up your mess. You need to leave. Now.
I said now, Miss O'Brian. I won't ask you again.
Start prepping the CLR for a diagnostic.
I'd stay away from that if I were you.
Is there any other way to get into the trunk line besides the server room?
No, that's the only way in. Why?
I have a faster way to get us online, but Haynam says it's too dangerous.
I think he's a raging egomaniac.
Seems to be a prerequisite for engineers these days.
- You talk to Hastings? - Lf I tell Hastings, he'll shoot me down.
Maybe not.
And maybe the moon will fall from the sky.
Let it go. These NSA guys seem to know what they're doing.
- Lf they don't, what happens to Jack? - What's Jack got to do with this?
Ahh. Never mind.
- Hello? Where are you?
- At Jack's apartment. What's going on? - Everything. CTU was just hit by an EMP.
All of our systems are down. It's a real mess.
- How did that happen? - I can't go into it right now.
Terrorists were trying to take out our radiological detectors.
- Where's Jack? - I think he might be in some kind trouble.
- We need to find him. - Slow down.
What do you mean? What kind of trouble?
Jack was tracking the terrorists when the EMP hit.
He called NSA and they lost contact too.
- Does Hastings know about this? - He's the one who told me.
- What's he doing about it? - Nothing.
He won't send anyone out to look for him.
He says he can't spare the men and that Jack can take care of himself.
Where was Jack before you lost contact?
He took the first exit off the Williamsburg Bridge.
I'm gonna try to find him. You need to get CTU back online.
Once you acquire Jack's position, you can direct me to him.
That might take a while.
NSA brought in a repair team, they're going about it wrong.
- I have a faster way to get us online. - Then tell them.
I tried. They won't listen.
You need to make them listen. Do what you have to do.
- Okay, I will. Call me when you're back up.
We need support beams. The EMP took out our systems.
Since we don't know how long it's going to be till we're running again...
...we're going to evacuate all nonessential personnel.
- You're going to follow Agent Combs. - I need to speak with Mr. Prady, please.
Thank you.
- Please. - Yeah.
I'm sorry that it took me so long to get back to you. I've been a little busy.
I know. They briefed me on what happened. It's a terrible thing.
Yes. And I have some bad news because of it.
The surveillance video that you wanted has been erased by the EMP.
- Erased? - Yes.
Everything in the building has been fried.
Well, that's a damn shame.
So you're telling me whoever helped Kevin Wade rob that evidence locker...
...just caught a huge break.
I'm afraid so.
Are you sure that it was all erased, Miss Walsh?
- Don't you have a backup system? - Yes. Yes, we do, but it's on-site.
And like I told you, all the servers have been wiped clean.
I know how much Kevin means to you.
I really wish I could do more.
So you're sure that there's nothing else you can tell me?
- Anything that would help me find Kevin? - I have told you everything I know.
I'm sure you have.
Mr. Prady, I really have to get back to work.
Good luck finding Kevin. I hope that he's okay.
Me too.
If anything changes with those files, I'll be in Little Rock.
- You have my number. - Of course.
Hope you get your lights back on.
I think I found a way to deal with the safety concerns you had with my idea.
Here's the workaround.
I thought I made myself clear. We're not going anywhere near that trunk line.
I'm gonna ask you one last time. We really need to do this my way.
We have agents in the field close to finding the rods, and they need our help.
I'm gonna ask you one last time. Get out of here.
Get out or I'll call security.
You get out.
- Now. - What the hell?
All of you, get out now.
Look, look, take a second to think.
Do you really wanna do this?
Mr. Haynam, I don't wanna hurt you.
You're probably an okay guy when you're not at work.
You're wearing a wedding ring.
But I swear to God, if you don't leave right now, I will shoot you.
Get out!
Go!
Go get Hastings and tell him to bring security.
They're starting to flank us!
We're almost there!
- They're almost on us. We can't stay. - Just give me one more second.
Okay, I'm ready. We're gonna use these plates to form a wedge...
...so we can make it to the call box. We need to move slow and steady.
It is imperative we stick together for this to work.
- You understand? - Yes, sir.
No matter how difficult it gets, this armor is gonna protect us. Trust that.
- Yes, sir. - Okay. Cole, you're with Agent King.
Owen, you're with me.
Let's go.
- The armor's not gonna hold up. - Yes, it is. Maintain formation.
- Can you get a shot? - Not from this angle.
- It's not holding up. We gotta go for it. - Yes, it is. Slow down.
- We're almost there. Move. - No.
No, no, no.
- There's nothing we can do for him. - We can't leave him.
We don't leave our men behind.
Try and bring him in, you're dead. They're trying to draw us out.
Best thing we can do for him is make it to the hard line and call for help.
We're almost there. You cover the north, Owen the east.
I can get there.
- Owen. - Cover him.
I'm sorry. I couldn't leave him behind.
You did great.
Is he all right? Did he make it?
Did he make it?
Yeah, he made it.
Stay with me. Stay with me.
Jack, they're repositioning.
Stay on them.
- Are you all right? - Yes.
- Are you sure? - Yes, Mother, I'm okay.
I'm so sorry, Father.
I'm so sorry.
You were right about Tarin.
I should have listened to you.
You're safe.
That's what's important.
Mr. President, CTU is preparing a subterranean evacuation route.
If there is a radiological attack, you'll be shielded underground.
- When do we leave? - As soon as possible.
President Taylor's waiting for you with the other delegates.
- The files Hastings requested are inside. - Thank you, sir.
Kayla, go with them.
She's strong.
She'll be all right.
We almost lost her.
And I almost lost you.
All for a peace agreement that could fall apart at any moment.
And it will only get more difficult, Dalia.
My enemies will be waiting for me once we return home.
Omar...
...despite everything that's happened, there's one thing I've never doubted.
That what you are doing here is absolute good.
You have to be strong too.
We need to get in there before O'Brian can do more damage.
I understand the situation, Mr. Haynam.
- How long? - I need to drill into the lock mechanism.
- Should take a couple minutes. - This woman is out of her mind.
Where do you find these people?
She pulled a weapon on me. She was ready to use it too.
I seriously doubt that. She was just trying to scare you.
Yeah? Well, she did a very good job.
You wanted to see me, sir?
Yes, O'Brian's gone off the deep end.
She thinks she knows how to get the CTU running.
She locked herself in the server room to do it. We'll be in there in a few seconds.
- What's she trying to do? - She's trying to tap into the trunk line...
...which I don't have to tell you, is a catastrophe waiting to happen.
Stop what you're doing, Chloe.
- Let's see the gun. - Okay, don't shoot or anything.
What I did is crazy. I know I'm in trouble.
You're damned right.
I wouldn't have done it if I didn't think it could work. Just need 10 minutes.
- Get her out of here now. - Let me give the orders.
- She pulled a gun on me. - I know what she did. Now shut up.
Let me handle it.
- Chloe, what the hell were you thinking? - Jack's looking for those rods...
...he might need help. I can get satellite and comm back up.
I need to finish tapping that line. I told Mr. Haynam, but he wouldn't listen.
So I pulled a gun on him.
I didn't want to. I don't even like guns.
Dana, what's your take on this?
Mr. Haynam is right.
Tapping into the trunk line is dangerous and there's no guarantee that it'll work.
Cole could be in trouble. Aren't you worried?
Yes. That's why I can't go along with your plan. It's reckless. I'm sorry, Chloe.
You've never been my biggest fan. Why start now?
Look, it's not as dangerous as they're saying.
I've taken precautions. This can work.
I just need 10 minutes.
If I can't get the systems online by then, fine, arrest me.
You brought me on for this job because I didn't think like anyone else.
Ever since I got here, I've been punished for that.
I've been right more than once today.
I think I've proven myself, and I think I deserve that 10 minutes.
- Ten minutes. - Thank you, sir.
You can't be serious about this.
- You need any help? - No, just let me work.
All right, let's give the lady some space.
That's all, gentlemen.
You are making a huge mistake.
Maybe, but I'm willing to take that chance.
O'Brian proved herself today. I want to see what she comes up with.
I'd appreciate it if you and your men would stand by.
Yes? What is it?
There's a man here who wants to speak with you, Bill Prady.
He says he's a probation officer.
- Probation officer? - From Arkansas, sir.
- What's he want? - He didn't say.
Put him in Holding 2. Tell him I'll be there in 15 minutes.
Dana, stay here in case O'Brian needs anything. I'll be in my office.
Yes, sir.
- Mr. Hastings, are you there? - We're here, Chloe. What's your status?
I'm into the trunk line. I'm about to activate the bypass circuit.
Okay, what can we expect?
If I don't electrocute myself, some of our primary systems should start booting up.
All right, whenever you're ready.
We've got power to comm.
And one of the sat links is back online.
All right, that's good enough. Start looking for Bauer.
- Okay, Chloe, it's working. You all right? - I just need a few more minutes.
- I'll be right there. Okay.
Mr. Hastings, one more thing.
If you do locate Jack, you need to call Renee Walker.
- Walker? - She went out looking for him.
- She should be in the vicinity. - Will do.
Why don't you go see if Miss O'Brian needs a hand?
And be civil this time.
Come on, Owen. Stay with me.
Stay with me.
He's gone.
I lost two of the snipers. If we're gonna make a move, we gotta do it soon, Jack.
We can't lay down cover fire for something we can't see.
We need to give them something to shoot at.
I'll break to the north, draw their fire, you run for the call box.
- That's suicide. You'll never make it. - But you will.
- I can't let you do that. - I'm in command here.
That's what gonna happen. Do you understand?
Yeah.
- I need you to do me a favor. - What is it?
You make sure that Hastings keeps his promise.
That he doesn't bring Renee back in.
I give you my word.
- Not long before they start firing. - Good luck, Jack.
You make it to that call box.
Go.
Clear!
Jack? Jack. Jack.
It's okay. It's okay. It's me. It's Renee. It's okay.
It's okay. Shh.
They got the fuel rods in a boat.
They're heading across the river into the city.
I can't breathe.
It's okay. Nothing went through.
Relax, you may have a collapsed lung. Try not to move.
Jack, I got through to CTU. They got online. N.Y.P.D.'s sending choppers.
- We still got a shot at finding them. - Good.
Mr. Hastings, I just got a call from Agent Ortiz.
The rods are on a Zodiac with two terrorists aboard.
They were heading northwest across the river towards the city.
- Where are the choppers? One second.
- They just arrived at the port. - Redirect them.
Start diverting all available N.Y.P.D. Units to that shoreline.
- We need to lay down a cordon. - Yes, sir.
Chloe.
- Thanks. You were... - I'm not good with praise.
Go. Go.
Get us out of here.
What do you think you're doing going to my boss?
My job.
I've answered all your questions. Why won't you just leave?
I can't do that.
I know you were involved with that robbery, Miss Walsh.
- What? - I think you know exactly where Kevin is.
I think you're protecting him.
- You are out of your mind. - And you're a liar.
I'm not leaving here until I know the truth.
This'll go a lot smoother for you if you just come clean right now.
It's not too late, Miss Walsh.
But I promise you, if you don't...
...I'm gonna nail your ass to the wall.
Contact CTU. See if they picked them up coming across the river.
It's me. CTU's back online.
I know. There are helicopters searching the river.
They're getting close.
- You should have warned us earlier. - I didn't have time.
I was too busy preserving my cover.
I don't know how much longer I'll be able stay under.
- I thought you took care of that problem. - So did I. It came back.
Well, we can't stay here.
The police must already be cordoning off the area.
We're going to need your help getting clear.
I will get you out of there. Don't worry.
Stand by. I'll call you in a few minutes.
N.Y.P.D. Dispatch, I need to be routed to Chloe O'Brian at CTU.
Copy that. Stand by.
N.Y.P.D. Air Two, this Agent Cole Ortiz with CTU.
It is imperative that we find this Zodiac and its contents.
The plan is to continue on the hostile's last-known heading...
...and proceed with a ten-degree sweep pattern.
Air Two copy. I have you routed to CTU.
Go ahead for Chloe O'Brian.
Chloe, it's Cole. I'm airborne with N.Y.P.D. Air One.
Do we have cover to the river?
We're getting the feed from NSA. I'm working as fast as I can...
...to roll back the footage to the boat launch.
I need that boat's 20 ASAP. Are the drones back online?
They're circling on auto-pilot.
- Arlo's rebuilding the link as we speak. - Damn it, I need eyes on this river.
If you've ever been in an EMP blast, you'd know it's a miracle...
...we even have servers up and running right now.
Quick, run a search-vector algorithm.
It was a six-person Zodiac with probably a 40-horsepower outboard.
Same type we used in Marine special-ops.
Running it now. Okay, considering your estimates...
...and the river's current, we're looking at the water treatment barge...
...at 15th Street.
Too well lit. They need some place with more cover.
- Chloe, what about East River Park? - Recalculating probable scenarios.
It confirms your theory, Cole.
Okay, concentrate all N.Y.P.D. Ground units on East River Park...
...between 6th and 13th.
Set up a strict cordon five blocks out in all directions.
- They're en route. Four minutes out. Okay.
And, Chloe, how's Jack?
They're treating him at the scene. Renee says he'll be fine.
That's good to hear. When he's cleared I'd like to speak with him.
I'll let the medics know.
Agent Ortiz, this is Air Two.
We have a visual on a possible submerged Zodiac...
...in the river up ahead.
