Someone needs to take the reins of the IRK government.
Someone who believes in the same ideals
and principles as Omar Hassan
and who shares his strength.
If it is the will of my people,
I will take my husband's place at the peace conference.
Did you find him, President Taylor...
the man who killed my father?
Samir Mehran, yes.
He was badly wounded, but he'll live to stand trial.
I took care of him.
So there is no connection to us. We're in the clear?
Maybe not.
There was a woman there who might have
- recognized me. - What woman?
She may be CTU. I'm not sure,
but I've seen her face before.
Once again,
Mr. Novakovich, you're giving
every indication that Russia has no interest
in this peace accord.
I don't understand
how you can believe that installing Hassan's widow
will alleviate our concerns
about the instability of the IRK government.
I have close friends in Moscow.
Do you honestly think your relationships
can change their minds?
Let's just say I'm going to be able to exercise some leverage.
Jack thinks that someone inside of CTU
is working for the terrorists.
I spoke to Hastings.
He cleared me through.
Stay where you are and keep your hands where I can...
She just entered the parking garage.
Who are you, you lying bitch?
Don't move.
Renee!
You were on the phone with her right before
she got shot. What were you talking about?
Samir Mehran was given
a lethal injection at the scene of his capture.
Renee thought she recognized one of the EMTs from her days
undercover with the Russian mob.
I... I've got to get back to you.
I'm sorry.
She didn't make it.
Sir?
Sir, I'm so sorry, but we need to move her now.
Sir, are you the husband of the deceased?
No.
Well, we need to contact her next of kin.
Can you help us with that?
Do you know where her parents live?
Are they alive?
I don't know.
Sir, are you gonna be all right?
I don't know if these will fit.
I got them from an intern.
Thank you.
Yeah?
Jack, I heard about Renee.
I'm so sorry.
What can I do to help?
Tell me who did this.
You told me earlier
Renee thought she recognized someone
at Hassan's crime scene.
An EMT?
Let us deal with that.
We have everyone here working on it.
Don't try and handle me, Chloe, not now.
Who did she see?
She thought she recognized somebody
from the Russian mob, Red Square.
- Bazhaev's group? - Right.
I want to talk to him.
Like I said, I'm already on it.
He's in custody somewhere, Chloe.
I brought him in myself.
Where is he?
There's something that you need to know.
Division replaced Hastings... with me.
That means I'm responsible for what happens to Bazhaev.
I know you're upset about Renee.
So am I.
But Bazhaev's our only lead.
I need whoever talks to him to be in complete control.
I don't think that's you right now.
I won't interfere
with your investigation.
You think you can stick to that?
I give you my word.
Chloe, I'm gonna ask you one more time:
where is he?
He's in federal court downtown.
He's being arraigned right now.
Plan was for this chamber to be full by now.
Ethan, what in the world
are you doing here?
You should be resting.
The doctor said
- it was my call. - Ethan...
I'm fine.
I was thinking, Madam President,
our discussion about enlisting Charles Logan.
It's done.
You've contacted him already?
He's on his way to talk to the Russian Foreign Minister.
Whew! That was fast.
The Russians were about to announce
they were pulling out of the talks.
I didn't see
a lot of options.
So,
what's his angle?
Madam President, you said he's on his way
to talk to Novakovich.
How does he intend to get the Russians to stay?
I assume he uncovered something
in his business dealings with them.
But you don't know what it is?
Not exactly.
Madam President, he's operating in your name.
Shouldn't we find out?
I agreed I wouldn't.
Don't ask, don't tell was the price for Logan's cooperation.
Mikhail!
Mr. President.
The Russian people join you
in mourning President Hassan.
His death was a tragedy for all peace-loving nations.
You can save your platitudes.
You want the truth.
Why not... for a change?
Espresso.
I assume President Taylor sent you here
to bring my country back to the bargaining table.
She is going to be disappointed.
President Taylor lured the whole world here with the promise
that Hassan had united the IRK,
that there would be peace
for the first time in decades.
Well, now it is clear that was a lie.
There was no unity even with Hassan,
and now that he is gone...
...his widow Dalia can pick up the mantle.
Not in our estimation.
Hassan was undone by his own opposition.
How could his widow possibly succeed where he failed?
'Cause we both know
the opposition that undid him had outside help.
Nuclear threats, assassination plots
against a heavily guarded
head of state.
This was not some
Third World malcontents lashing out.
This was a highly organized effort
orchestrated by a major rival to the United States,
a rival convinced that their best interest
was to stop the peace process
by killing Hassan.
If you are insinuating...
Insinuating, no.
I'm saying it was people inside your government,
first among them, you.
That is an
outrageous accusation.
It's a fact for which I have proof.
I don't believe you.
Well, that's your right.
But I'll tell you this: you don't want to test me.
Because what I have, I will share with President Taylor
if you and I fail
to come to an understanding here.
Espresso, sir.
At this point President Taylor knows nothing about any of this.
I didn't see what good could come out
of inflaming the situation between our countries further,
not without talking to you first.
And now I have.
The president's expecting me at the UN.
I need to go.
What will you tell her?
What I'd would like to tell her is
that Russia is back at the table
and her peace process is on track.
But if neither of us
hears from you before I get there,
I'm afraid what I'll have to tell her instead
is the unvarnished truth.
"Sergei...
Buh-zay-off."
Bazhaev, Your Honor.
We'd like to waive reading.
I'm sure you would, given the charges here.
I can tell you right now I'm gonna deny bail.
Judge Ruffin, Sergei Bazhaev is a businessman
with deep ties to this community.
He's a foreign national.
That's true, Your Honor, but he has lived
in this country continuously since 1985.
His entire family lives here.
In fact, several members
of his family are represented in court today:
his wife, daughter-in-law, grandson,
for whom incidentally he is the sole means of support.
According to the charges, he's their sole support
because he killed the boy's father,
not to mention the other counts:
trafficking in nuclear materials,
assassination, conspiracy.
Like I said, I'm going to deny bail.
I'm remanding him to Marion immediately.
Your Honor, may I have five minutes with my client, please?
Fine. You have five minutes.
Court will recess for 30 minutes.
Clear the courtroom, please.
My client would like to have a word with you.
If you touch my family, I swear to God I...
You're not really sitting in
the right chair to be making threats.
Who shot Renee Walker?
I don't know that name.
She was a former FBI Agent.
Approximately six years ago,
she worked undercover in your organization.
Earlier today, she recognized one of your men as Red Square.
There is no Red Square.
Not anymore.
Let me explain myself.
This Agent, Renee Walker...
I considered her to be my family.
So take a long hard look into my eyes
and realize that I will have no problem taking out
each member of yours before they even get home today
unless I get the information I want.
Whoever killed her had nothing to do with me.
Enjoy your time at Marion.
I'll tell your wife and your daughter-in-law you said hello.
Wait.
Wait!
If I tell you, they'll kill my family anyway.
We'll provide them with witness protection.
I give you my word.
Moscow.
The Russian government... they're behind it, not me.
Everything that happened today, all of it, was them.
Who inside the government?
- I don't know. - What do you mean,
you don't know? You're talking about 100,000 people.
I need names.
I don't know names.
They never let me get close.
The woman working for them arranged everything.
What woman?
The one they planted at CTU.
Dana Walsh.
Sir, let's go.
You promised.
Nerve-wracking, isn't it?
Waiting.
I only saw Novakovich's face, sir,
but you definitely had his attention.
It's the president.
Charles Logan.
Charles.
Yes, Madam President.
I just got off the phone with the Russian foreign minister.
You did?
And what did he say?
He said that the two of you had a very interesting discussion.
And that he would be coming to the United Nations in five hours
with the Russian premier to sign the treaty
as scheduled.
He also said the credit for that
is all yours.
Oh, uh, he was in the mood to be convinced, Madam President.
Mr. President, Ethan Kanin here.
So you're back on your feet.
Yes.
And I'm curious.
What did you say
to the Russian minister to convince him
to come back to the peace talks?
I told him that peace is in all of our interests.
Seriously,
I'd like to know how you did it.
Madam President,
those... those details are for me alone.
That was our agreement.
Am I right?
Yes, you are.
So, Ethan, um, let's not do anything
to... to sully our victory.
And it is a victory.
For all of us.
It's a good feeling, isn't it?
What?
Being of service.
To your country.
Yes, it is.
I'll see you at the UN shortly.
O'Brian.
Hey, it's me.
Bazhaev's family just left the courthouse.
They're going to need witness protection.
I want you to pick them up
- and bring them in. - What did he say?
He said the people who are behind Renee's murder
weren't Russian mob.
Said they were people inside the Russian government.
He claims that Moscow is behind everything that happened today.
I thought the IRK opposition was trying to stop Hassan.
No, he said the Russians were just using them.
He didn't have time to explain
why they don't want the peace accord to go through,
but he did say something important.
He said Moscow's main contact on the ground was Dana Walsh.
Dana? You believe that?
That would explain how she managed to breach CTU.
Anyways, I'm on my way in. I want to talk to her.
- I'll set it up. - Thanks.
Cole, I need your help.
Jack's on his way here to interview Dana.
Dana? What about?
According to Jack, she's some kind of Agent
with the Russian government.
He says they're behind everything
that happened today, including Renee's murder.
Listen,
if Dana knows who killed Renee
or Jack thinks she's in any way responsible,
there's no telling what he might do.
Jack respects you.
You might be the only one
who can deal with things if he gets out of hand.
I know this is difficult for you,
but during the questioning...
Yeah, I'll be there.
Thanks.
It's good to be back in the game,
even if it is through the rear entrance.
President Taylor's worried about her image.
Huh, believe me, I of all people understand that.
She can't keep you hidden away forever, sir.
That's right.
Credit given where credit is due.
Publicly.
That's our deal.
Yeah.
Uh-huh.
Right.
Okay.
Mm-hmm.
No, no, believe me,
the president will be grateful to know.
Okay.
Who is that Agent?
I want him reassigned.
Sir, that was one
of my contacts at Justice just...
- Did you hear me?! - Yes.
I'll take care of it.
But we have a more immediate problem:
Jack Bauer.
Bauer?
What does he have to do with any of this?
He was just downtown at the federal courthouse,
the arraignment of a Sergei Bazhaev.
Bauer got to him behind closed doors and got him to talk.
How much does this Bazhaev know?
He knows about Dana Walsh, the mole
the Russians planted at CTU.
I know who she is.
Bauer's headed to CTU, presumably to talk to her.
Sir, my sources tell me Walsh hasn't given up anything
about Moscow's involvement.
Not yet.
But she knows enough to bring everything down.
If she gets in a room with Bauer...
Obviously, that can't happen.
We need to stop Bauer before he talks to her.
That won't be easy.
He may have a personal stake in this.
Apparently, he was asking Bazhaev about a Renee Walker.
She was shot dead in Bauer's apartment
less than an hour ago.
Sir, this could easily
get out of hand.
You may need to ask President Taylor to intervene.
What are you suggesting, that I tell her the truth?
If she finds out what the Russians have done,
she'll be furious I kept her out of it.
She might back out of our deal.
Sir, you really need to stop Bauer now.
I don't see any other way.
You have to talk to the president.
Bauer torpedoed my presidency.
Tried to ruin me; almost did.
There's no way I'm gonna let that happen again.
Thank you.
Dana Walsh ready?
Yes, I'll take you to her.
I'm so sorry about Renee.
I don't even know what to say.
Dana know I'm going to be interrogating her?
No, I didn't want to give her a heads-up.
Good.
Jack.
I'm sorry about Renee.
I have to leave the cameras on, Jack.
You think I'm gonna kill her?
I wouldn't blame you if you did.
If I wanted her dead, Chloe, she'd be dead.
I'm just gonna wake her up to the idea of it.
Open the door.
What do you want?
I want to know who killed Renee Walker.
Renee's dead?
Yeah.
That doesn't make any sense.
It... it must have been a mistake.
No mistake.
I'm sorry... Jack.
Really.
You're sorry?
I want to know who the shooter was!
I want to know ordered it! I want names now!
Stop him!
Let it play, Chloe.
You hit me, and you get nothing.
You think you get to make demands here?
I can give you the hitter,
the man behind him,
all the way up to the top.
I want more
than just names. I want proof!
I have proof:
an audio file, film.
Where?
First I want my immunity deal back.
Soon as I start talking, I'm dead.
Your move, Jack.
If you lie to me...
I'll find you
no matter where you try and hide.
You understand that?
Good.
We've had such little good news
these last few hours,
I wanted to tell you right away.
The delegates have voted
unanimously to accept you
as the representative of the IRK
at the signing of the treaty.
I'm pleased.
Thank you for all your efforts.
You're welcome.
There is one proviso, of course.
That my own country accept me
as signatory of the treaty.
I know you've had very little time
to pursue this.
Jamot and I have been making progress.
In the next hour,
our constituent assembly will vote on the issue,
but as we've already received pledges of loyalty
from most of my husband's coalition,
I believe we have a good chance of success.
Excellent. Dalia,
we might just make it yet.
We might.
Madam President,
Mrs. Hassan.
I need a word.
Excuse me.
Logan wants to speak with you.
About what?
He wouldn't say except that it's urgent.
He's waiting in your office.
Following President Hassan's death, the expectation was
that the delegates to the peace conference
would have to pack up and go home,
but the latest rumors coming out of the UN
are pretty sensational: that Dalia Hassan might be stepping
into her husband's shoes.
In fact, there are already street demonstrations
taking place in Kamistan
in support of Dalia Hassan's candidacy.
Does this mean the...
Mr. Logan,
the president is here.
Thank you.
We don't know, but...
Thank you for seeing me, Madam President.
Ethan said you wanted to speak with me.
Um, can we have the room, please?
What's this about, Charles?
Jack Bauer, he's out of control.
He's already pressured a Russian mafioso
in federal court, and now he's on
his way to question a woman in custody at CTU: Dana Walsh.
Why does he want to talk to her?
He thinks she knows who's behind
the, uh, the shooting
of a Renee Walker.
Agent Walker?
She's dead?
How did this happen?
That's still being investigated,
but in the meantime,
what I'm saying is Bauer needs to be stopped.
Why?
You're going to have to trust me.
What we need to do right now is
lock Bauer down.
You better tell me exactly
what's going on.
- Madam President... - No!
I won't do a thing about Jack Bauer
until you tell me the truth.
Elements inside the Russian government were behind
both the assassination of President Hassan
and the supply of nuclear material
to his enemies.
The Russian government?
Why do you think
they're back at the table?
Because I threatened to expose
their role in today's events.
You knew about this
and you didn't tell anyone?
I was trying to protect the president.
Protect her?!
You've compromised her, hopelessly!
Why didn't you say anything before?
I told you that I had leverage with the Russians.
You... you must have understood
it was significant.
Significant, yes!
Evidence of a sex scandal,
some kind of financial malfeasance,
not this, for God's sake!
If I find that you were in a position to prevent
- anything... - Absolutely not.
This information came to me only very recently.
From whom?
I can't tell you.
You will tell me.
I can't, Madam President,
because it would do no good.
My sources would plausibly deny even knowing me.
The Russian involvement...
that's what Jack Bauer is about to bring out into the open?
If he talks to Dana Walsh, yes.
The Russians inserted her at CTU
months ago. She was their Agent.
If Bauer gets to her,
it will all come out, and then, and then
this, this
will all be finished.
It's finished anyways.
Do you think the president wants anything more to do
with the Russians after what they've done?
Yes, yes, you do,
Madam President, because you are
looking at the bigger picture,
the greater good.
How can you call any of this good?!
Because it is good, an undeniable good!
A peace that's escaped the world for generations!
That's what you're on the verge of achieving.
Do you really want to throw it all away?
Do you really think
Dalia Hassan will sit down at the table
with the people
who murdered her husband?
Who says she has to know?
Believe me, I know how hard you worked for this,
how you sweated and prayed, the sleepless nights.
I know. The power
to make a difference, that's why we came into politics.
How few of us
get to achieve it,
but you have...
You so nearly have.
Ethan will tell you to make a stand.
I applaud his... his moral clarity,
but then he's on the sidelines.
He can afford it.
That's enough!
Is the situation ideal? No!
Far from it,
but you have a real chance
to make the world a better place.
Don't listen to this, Allison.
If the treaty's not signed today, it's not the end.
You can build a better peace,
with honest partners.
"There is a tide in the affairs of men,
which, taken at the flood, leads on to fortune."
What the hell does that mean?
The president knows.
It's from Julius Caesar.
It means "Now or never."
Madam President, I have Jack Bauer for you.
Where is he?
He's at CTU. He wants to talk to you
about an immunity agreement
for a Dana Walsh.
I'll have to call him back.
Yes, ma'am.
Madam President,
there is no choice here.
But there is a choice, Ethan,
and unfortunately, only I can make it.
I'm going to CTU.
To do what?
To see Jack Bauer.
Has the president called back yet?
Not yet.
Jack, are you sure you want to do this to yourself?
We can take it from here.
The minute Dana's immunity deal is back in place,
we can roll up the names,
close this out.
I need to see this through.
Excuse me.
The president's on the phone, line 3.
She asked for Chloe.
Madam President.
Ms. O'Brian,
I'm on my way to see you.
You're coming to CTU?
Yes, I'm almost there.
I need to talk to Jack Bauer.
Make sure he doesn't leave.
Yes, ma'am.
Let Security know the president will be here any minute.
She's coming here?
That's what I just said.
Have them standing by.
Why's she doing this?
She said she wants to talk to you.
Why doesn't she just talk to me on the phone?
I don't know.
You should probably meet her in Hastings' office.
Fine.
Madam President,
welcome to CTU. I'm Chloe O'Brian.
Thank you, Ms. O'Brian.
Is Jack inside?
Right this way.
I want to say how grateful I am
for all your efforts today.
We've taken some pretty hard hits,
but we've managed to keep ourselves in the game.
The peace process is still alive,
and I am counting on your hard work and your vigilance
to keep it that way.
I know you won't let me down.
Thank you, Miss O'Brian.
Um, I'll go up alone.
Hello, Jack.
Madam President.
I am so sorry
about Agent Walker.
I gather she meant a lot to you.
Yes, ma'am.
Which makes what I'm about to ask so very, very hard.
Please, Jack.
I need you to stand down.
I... I'm sorry. I don't understand.
I do not want you to question Dana Walsh.
Madam President, the information that I can extract
from Dana Walsh is not limited to the murder of Renee Walker.
I believe she knows the names of the people who facilitated
the assassination of President Hassan,
people working within the Russian government.
That is pure speculation.
Then grant her immunity. Let me question her.
If she's lying,
you lose nothing.
I'm sorry. I won't give Dana Walsh immunity.
I can't.
The peace process is back on track.
Dalia Hassan will represent her country at the signing.
The Russians have accepted her
and have undertaken to support the treaty.
Madam President, the Russians have been trying
to destroy the treaty.
You can't trust them.
You don't know that.
The information that I have came from Sergei Bazhaev,
and I believe him.
If you let me question Dana Walsh,
I can prove it to you.
No.
I won't allow it.
You don't want to know the truth.
What I want is to keep the Russians at the table.
Allegations of this sort
will drive them away.
What if the allegations are true?
If I keep the Russians at the table,
I can bring peace to a part of the world
that has known nothing but war for generations.
That is the greater good that I am working toward.
And to achieve it, there have to be sacrifices!
With all due respect, Madam President,
these people gave nuclear weapons to terrorists
who were willing to obliterate half of Manhattan!
You don't know that!
And I'm telling you, we have to move on.
Even Hassan's widow has picked up the torch
and is continuing the peace process.
Does she know the Russians helped murder her husband?
Do you think she'd be willing to sign that treaty
if she knew that? Have you even told her?
That's enough.
Have you told her?!
I said that's enough!
This peace treaty is in the interests
of the United States and of the world.
That makes it a good in itself, and certainly
more important than your desire for revenge.
Madam President, I don't want revenge; I want justice.
And I want peace.
If there were another way, I would take it,
but there's not.
That's my decision.
Do you understand?
Do you understand, Jack?
Yes, ma'am.
I've arranged a helicopter
to fly you from CTU to McGuire Air Force Base.
You're locking me down.
You'll be debriefed there.
Good-bye, Jack.
I'm sorry.
I had them gather your things.
Thanks.
What happened up there?
- Nothing. - What do you mean?
I mean nothing.
Nothing happened.
What I need is a meeting with Dalia Hassan
to coordinate our response to the likely questions.
Will you set that up?
Thank you.
I'm leaving CTU now.
I'll be with you
in ten minutes.
They said you wanted to see me.
Yes.
Dana Walsh is to remain locked down until further notice.
No one gets access to her without
my express permission. Is that clear?
I guess.
What about Jack?
Jack is going to McGuire Air Force Base to be debriefed.
He didn't seem very happy about that.
He was disappointed
that I wouldn't grant Dana Walsh immunity
in exchange for her testimony.
But Dana knows who's responsible
for everything that's happened today.
She is a sociopath.
She'll say anything.
And the last thing we need right now
is a bunch of unfounded allegations
derailing the peace that we've all worked so hard for.
Do you understand, Chloe?
We're having a press conference at the UN in two hours
to present Dalia Hassan as the new leader of the IRK
and to announce that the peace talks are still on track.
What we need CTU to do
is to make sure security is airtight.
Yes, ma'am.
Tim Woods speaks very highly of you.
When the situation got out of control,
he was quite adamant that you were the one
to take over.
I'm surprised he even knows who I am.
It was a pleasure to meet you finally, Chloe.
Thank you.
Cole, we're gonna be back on UN detail.
What's happening with Dana?
As of now, nothing.
What about the immunity agreement?
- There isn't gonna be one. - Why not?
The president says that Dana's a lying sociopath
who will wreck the peace treaty.
What's Jack say about that?
I don't know.
He's being choppered to McGuire
for debriefing.
Chloe, what the hell's going on?
There's gonna be a press conference soon,
and the president needs us to guarantee security.
You'll need to get your teams ready.
Okay. Fine.
So Jack's being taken away for a debrief?
About what, may I ask?
No.
Director O'Brian,
this is Falcon One.
We're touching down at CTU, ma'am.
Copy that.
- Security personnel en route to the roof with Jack Bauer now. - Roger that.
Mr. Bauer, Agent Winnick.
The White House has instructed me to escort you
to McGuire Air Force Base for a debrief.
Heard a lot about you, sir.
I'm sorry we had to meet under these circumstances.
There's no reason to be sorry.
I'm taking this helicopter.
Tell your men to drop their weapons
or you're gonna die.
Arlo, pull up the audio.
Something's happening.
Coming up.
Put your weapons down now!
I will kill him!
All security to the helipad.
All security to the helipad now.
What the hell is going on?
He's gonna steal that helicopter.
We have a hostage situation.
Out of the copter now!
Bauer took a hostage.
Hijacking the helicopter.
Hold your fire! Lower your weapons!
Give me your walkie.
Jack.
Please land the chopper now.
Jack, you know I have to call this in.
The Air Force will force you down.
This is a bad idea.
Land the chopper
now.
Call the FAA, the Air Force.
Tell them we have a stolen helicopter
flying West over Manhattan
that needs to be intercepted and forced down.
Yes, ma'am.
