Who is it you're looking for?
Someone who can give me the names of everyone involved.
Break the story in case I don't make it.
If Dalia finds out the Russians had a hand in the death of her husband...
...she'll never sign the agreement.
I need to speak to your mother about the people who murdered your father.
- We know who is responsible. - What you don't know...
...is those people were working under the orders of Russian agents.
Bauer made contact...
...with Meredith Reed. - My God.
You need to call her publisher and demand that they do not run the story.
- You're suggesting muzzling the press? - Lf you don't use your office...
...to shut this story down...
...your peace agreement won't be the only casualty.
I need you to contact the FBI.
Have them locate Reed and seize whatever evidence she purports to have.
Meredith Reed? FBI.
- You're under arrest. - Let's go.
You were right about Jack. He is working with somebody.
It's James Ricker, ex-CIA op. We found him living on Mercer Street.
He's not gonna be happy we tracked him down.
Get him to tell us where Jack is. You good with that...
...or have you not taken sides?
I wanna expose this cover-up as much as you. I'm in.
That's Jack Bauer.
Get up or I will kill you right here.
You know the name of the person who's giving orders.
- I want that name. - Jack.
- Give me the name! - I'll tell you.
- Four, three. - Mikhail Novakovich.
- Where's Novakovich? - He's dead.
Bauer just came in shooting.
Mikhail Novakovich was just murdered by Jack Bauer.
What?
As far as, uh, Bauer is concerned, the trail ended with Novakovich.
Then Bauer has no idea that Novakovich was operating under my orders?
None. If you're so worried about Bauer...
...you never should have given the order to kill Renee Walker.
Arlo.
Cole, I just picked up a preliminary flash.
Jack murdered Novakovich at his hotel and six of his security guards.
According to a witness, Jack killed all seven men on his own...
...and fell right off the radar.
Eden can't find any trace of him.
Does Chloe know about this?
I just talked to her. She should be at the U.N. Any minute.
Cole, I know that we need this evidence that Jack has...
...but this crime scene is a slaughterhouse.
Does Chloe really still think she can pull this off?
If anyone can talk Jack down, it's Chloe.
And if she can't?
We're prepared to do what it takes to stop him.
Even when Novakovich's whole security staff couldn't?
What do you want me to do? The truth about today needs to get out.
And that's not gonna happen unless we get to Jack.
I'm coming up on Ricker's apartment. I'm going in.
- Cole. What?
Ricker went to a lot of trouble to disappear.
He's not gonna like that you found him.
Yeah, I'm not expecting him to.
You're looking at the U.N. Plaza Gardens and the podium...
...from which all three co-sponsors of the treaty will address the public...
...following a private signing ceremony inside the U.N.'s Council Chamber.
Russian President Yuri Suvarov, the third co-sponsor of the treaty...
...is en route to the U. N...
...where he will join President Taylor and acting IRK President Dalia Hassan.
Mr. Ricker, this is Agent Ortiz, CTU. Open that door.
Before you pull that trigger, there's something you ought to know.
I don't place a call in 15 minutes...
...every intelligence agency in the country gets alerted about you.
And weapons charges alone will get you locked up for the duration...
...or you can help us find Jack Bauer, and we'll keep our mouths shut.
You think you're protecting him?
The order on Jack Bauer is shoot-to-kill.
He knew what he was getting himself into.
Jack's not thinking straight.
Look, I read your file.
I know Jack saved your life in Damascus.
This is your opportunity to pay back that debt.
- You know how this is gonna end, right? - Do you?
If Jack dies today, it's on you.
Hey, wait a minute.
Wait a minute.
Thanks, Adam.
Director O'Brian. Agent Burke. I have the revised security assessment for you.
I noticed Agent Ortiz's name was back on the duty roster.
That's right.
He was arrested for helping Jack Bauer.
I got him temporary clearance so he could help us.
He was the one who designed the U.N. Protocols.
I know.
Do you really think we can trust him?
I wouldn't have gotten him a release if I didn't.
- Yes, ma'am. - Excuse me.
- What happened? Not good.
I think Jack's targeted Suvarov.
- Is that what Ricker said? - Yeah.
Jack planted a bug on Charles Logan.
Overheard a conversation between the two men.
Suvarov's the one who gave the order for Renee to be killed.
Does Ricker have a recording of that conversation?
No, he wiped his system clean as soon as he saw me coming.
The surveillance rig he gave Jack records everything to a backup. Jack has a copy.
- Good. We're gonna need it. - Why?
The White House arrested Meredith Reed.
They confiscated a data card from her.
- Dana's evidence. - Exactly.
The recording that Jack has is the only proof we have now.
I don't know that getting proof is our first priority.
We have to put an alert out on Jack.
If we do that, Pillar will get to him first. He'll kill Jack and destroy the recording.
Chloe, we can't stand by and let Jack assassinate the president of Russia.
No, but we can buy ourselves time.
Change Suvarov's motorcade route...
...sequester him, make it impossible for Jack to get to him.
Except Suvarov's gonna be standing at that podium.
Once he's exposed like that, we can't protect him.
That's not happening for over an hour. If we haven't found Jack by then...
...we put out the alert. - It's still taking a big risk, Chloe.
I know.
Get Suvarov's route changed.
You're putting me in charge of security as soon as he gets to the U.N.
- How far out are you? - I'll be there in 10.
Okay.
Sir, the flash about Novakovich is going out.
You wanted to speak with the president before that happened.
Thank you, Jason.
Oh, um...
- Do we know anything about Bauer? - No, nothing.
If you don't mind me asking, sir, what are you gonna tell the president?
I think it's time she knows everything.
All are present with the exception of Suvarov who's in transit.
He'll be given the details once he arrives.
- Excuse me, Tim. - Yes, ma'am.
I'm about to go into the protocol meeting. What's going on?
I wanted you to hear this news from me.
What news?
I tried to insulate you as long as I could...
...preserve your plausible deniability... - Just tell me what you're talking about.
Jack Bauer isn't just trying to gather evidence about the conspiracy.
He's seeking retribution.
Go on.
Bauer just murdered Mikhail Novakovich along with a good number of his staff.
Novakovich was responsible for...
...the assassination of President Hassan?
Yes. Yes, ma'am.
Novakovich was the ranking member of the Russian delegation.
President Suvarov is going to demand an explanation.
Actually, he's not.
Are you telling me that Hassan's murder goes all the way up to Suvarov?
Yes. But the good news is that Bauer doesn't know that.
How can you be sure?
Because according to a witness, Bauer killed Novakovich...
...before he could talk.
And aside from me...
...Novakovich is the only person who knew that Suvarov was calling the shots.
Madam President, Bauer's finished what he started...
...and Suvarov will be happy to sweep this under the rug...
...and the peace agreement can go forward as planned. This is...
Really, uh, we couldn't have asked for a better outcome.
Except that I am asking Dalia Hassan...
...to shake hands with her husband's murderer.
Call Suvarov.
Tell him that I am aware of his involvement in this...
...and that I will see him at the signing.
My apologies.
Madam President.
Thank you for waiting.
How did the call go?
I told the president about Suvarov's involvement and, uh...
...she understood, not that she has an alternative.
That's good news, sir.
Your new Secret Service detail's here to escort you.
Thank you, Jason.
It's been a long road, but, uh, we're almost there, ha, ha.
Anything new on Bauer?
Security camera picked him up leaving Novakovich's hotel.
Confirmed what Berkov told us.
Bauer was definitely wounded during the attack.
How badly?
He's gonna need treatment. Getting alerts out to medical facilities now.
Let Port Authority and INS know Bauer might be trying...
...to get out of the country. We'll find him. It's only a question of time.
Maybe a little quicker than you thought.
Slowly take your weapon out and pass it back to me.
Slowly.
Start the car and drive.
You saw what I did to Pavel?
I didn't have a lot of time with him. You, I've got the time.
You either do what I say, or I will take you apart piece by piece. Now drive.
- Where are we going? - U.N.
Why? You already got what you wanted.
- You've killed everyone involved. - Save your breath.
I know about President Suvarov.
Your delegations will be joining you at the reception...
...after the post-signing ceremony.
And finally, on behalf of the U.N. Staff...
...I would like to say that we are all honored...
...to be part of this historic occasion.
Thank you for your time.
Your daughter has been waiting outside to speak to you. She says it's important.
- Let her know I'll be right there. - Yes, ma'am.
Madam President.
I have something for you. It's from Omar.
He wanted to give it to you to sign the agreement...
...and I'm grateful that I can do so on his behalf.
It reads, "All religions, all this singing...
...one song, peace be with you. "
It is a verse Omar would quote from Rumi...
...when he was talking about what you and he were trying to achieve.
Thank you for seeing this through.
And for helping us all do justice to his memory.
Dalia, I am...
I am honored.
I'm very honored. Thank you.
Kayla, what is it?
Meredith Reed called the residence looking for you.
I am not interested in that woman's condolences.
That is not why she called.
She says she has information...
...about the people who were behind Father's murder.
But we know who was behind your father's death: Extremists in our country.
She claims that they had outside help. That the Russians were involved.
Why would she say such a thing? Does she have evidence, or is this a rumor?
I don't know. But it can't have been easy for her to call you.
I don't think she would have done so because of a rumor.
- What else? - She wouldn't say anything more...
...until she talked to you. She left her number.
Let's call her from the residence.
Suvarov's motorcade is delayed five minutes because of the new route.
Put out an all-agency.
- How do you want it coded? - Eyes only.
Yes, ma'am.
Make sure Burke reports with a set of tactical gear for Agent Ortiz.
Yes, ma'am.
Arlo's at CTU running the video through facial-recognition software.
Still no sign of Jack.
Look, let's say we do get this recording from Jack, what are we to do with it?
If the president's willing to lock down Meredith Reed...
She can't shut down every media outlet where we're gonna send this file.
We're also gonna send it to every government employee:
Legislative, military, judiciary. That's over 100,000 people.
- How are we doing this? - By using CTU servers...
...we can distribute it to everyone.
President Taylor won't be able to stop the truth from getting out.
- Burke, good to see you. Sir.
Do you have the protocols for Suvarov's arrival?
Yes. We're now bringing the motorcade into the FDR ramp.
Good. Make sure that Agent Ortiz has the revised protocols.
He's back in charge.
Let's take a look.
Watch it.
We're going to the Hart Building. I want you to park underground.
Stop, please.
Stop.
This guard's life is in your hands.
You make one move that I don't like, I'm gonna kill you both, you understand?
Jason Pillar.
There's no one inside. Cleared the building two hours ago.
Yeah, I'm just, uh, running a last-minute security check.
Of course, sir.
Is there anything else, sir?
No, thank you.
Clear. All right.
Drive.
Pull in over here.
Slowly, with your right hand...
...take the keys out of the ignition and pass them back.
Get out of the car.
Now!
Close the door.
Put your hands on the roof.
Don't you move.
Suvarov's not gonna be on the podium for another hour.
You're not gonna make it that long, not with the way you're bleeding.
Slowly back up towards me.
Stop. Turn around.
Good. You're gonna suture me up.
You try and make a move on me, the slightest twitch...
...I will put a bullet in your brain. You got it?
Yes.
I don't understand something.
You've spent your career working outside the system...
...and you've always had a good reason.
But this, it's just bloodlust.
You're destroying an agreement that took years to put together.
An agreement made by murderers and liars.
Murderers? You're the one killing people in cold blood.
Everybody I took out had a hand in today's attack.
But who makes you judge and jury?
President Taylor, when she agreed to the cover-up.
I would have accepted justice by law.
But that was taken away from me by people like you.
So you're right. I am judge and jury.
Now step back.
Turn around.
Move back towards the car.
I came after Hassan and Renee were killed.
- I didn't have anything to do with that. - Get on your knees!
I'm telling you the truth. I've got a family. I've got a little girl.
Shut up.
I have a little girl. I have a daughter. She's 6 years old.
Please. Don't do this, please.
Please. Please.
Still no answer.
Are you sure this is Meredith Reed's number?
- The number she gave me. - Why isn't she answering?
I just spoke to Gary Klausner, Miss Reed's editor.
He doesn't know where she is and has no way to reach her.
He seemed very anxious to get off the phone.
Where are you going?
President Taylor and I are sitting across the table from Yuri Suvarov...
...in less than an hour. If his government was involved...
...in murdering your father, President Taylor needs to know.
Following the death of Omar Hassan...
...President Suvarov was reportedly pessimistic...
...about the viability of the peace treaty.
But rumors of a Russian withdrawal were soon dismissed by the White House.
- President Suvarov is expected to arrive... - Yes?
Excuse me, Madam President. It's Dalia Hassan.
- I'll have to call her back. - She's outside, ma'am.
She says it's urgent.
Send her in.
Madam President, forgive me.
I have just heard something that is very disturbing.
What did you hear?
That the Russian government or people within the Russian government...
...were involved in the murder of my husband.
- Where did you hear this? - My daughter received a phone call...
...from the journalist Meredith Reed.
- Have you spoken with her yourself? - No.
I've tried everything, but I've been unable to reach her.
I came here to ask for your help finding Miss Reed.
I need to know if there is any truth in what she said.
Dalia, we heard a rumor about the Russians being involved as well.
- And you didn't tell me? - No.
Because we looked into it and found that there was nothing backing it up.
It was just a frivolous accusation.
Whatever else she may be, Meredith Reed is not a frivolous woman.
She came to me, someone she knew would have every reason to doubt her.
Dalia, I know that you want answers...
...but we are signing the agreement in less than an hour.
Madam President, I feel like you're not listening to me.
Before I sign a treaty with people who may have murdered my husband...
...I need help finding this woman. Please.
I will do the best I can in the time that we have left.
I don't think I'm making myself clear.
Until I determine if her allegations are true, I will not sign this treaty.
Dalia, please, be reasonable.
This is my position, Madam President. I will not change my mind.
Then you...
You leave me no choice.
I had Meredith Reed arrested.
- Why? - Because her allegations...
...would be too damaging.
That doesn't make any sense.
You wouldn't arrest someone for making false allegations.
Unless they aren't false.
You knew.
You knew the Russians were behind my husband's death and you said nothing?
Dalia, I am so sorry.
It was an impossible situation.
- I was trying to protect you. - Protect me?
You betrayed me.
Dalia, we are about to complete...
...the most important diplomatic action in generations.
Your husband sacrificed his life to preserve the treaty.
How dare you invoke my husband? He never would have stood for this.
This treaty happened because he trusted you.
And even though every fiber in my being wanted to go home and grieve...
...I carried on because I trusted you.
But not anymore.
I will not make peace with the people who murdered my husband, or with you.
There will be no agreement.
I will be entering a formal complaint with the United Nations...
...demanding that you release Miss Reed...
...and disclose whatever evidence you've kept from me...
...and from the rest of the world.
Stop.
In one hour...
...you will stand beside me in the council chamber...
...and you will sign the treaty your husband and I agreed to.
- I will not. - You will.
Because if you don't...
...my administration will disclose hard, indisputable evidence...
...that agents inside your intelligence service...
...attempted to detonate a nuclear device on our soil...
...which will give me all the justification I need...
...to retaliate against the IRK...
...with the full force of the American military.
It will be decades before your country recovers.
But it doesn't need to come to that.
All you have to do is sign the agreement.
Dalia?
First they murder my husband, and now this woman who has lied to me...
...is threatening my country.
I don't see a way out of this, Madam President.
We can tell the world what these Russian bastards did...
...and how President Taylor protected them.
We can take our case directly to The Hague.
There is no case.
No proof to support any of these accusations.
There are President Taylor's threats to consider.
We cannot dismiss them.
Our military can protect us from incursion.
And if necessary, we can reactivate our nuclear program.
Giving your husband's enemies exactly what they wanted in the first place.
In addition to providing her with even more of an excuse...
...to launch a military strike against us.
I don't care what President Taylor said. She wouldn't dare.
Can you really take that chance?
Yes?
Thank you.
Yuri Suvarov's delegation will be arriving any moment.
President Taylor is expecting you there to greet him.
Agent Ortiz?
- What's going on? - Spoke with Arlo.
He got a facial-recognition hit on Jack.
Where?
Inside our perimeter.
He's here, Cole.
He's been careful to avoid all the security cameras, but Arlo found this.
From the 22nd floor of the Hart Building across the street from the U.N.
- The software picked up his reflection. - How did he get into the building?
According to the logs...
...the only person to enter in the past 20 minutes was Pillar.
- Jack must've taken him hostage. - The windows on the east side...
...give him a clean line of sight down onto the podium.
- I'm gonna go find him. - I'm going with you.
You can't. You'll just cause a fight.
- I'm the only one that Jack will listen to. - And what if he doesn't?
Give me 20 minutes. If you don't hear from me, follow through with our plan.
Sound the alarm about Jack and secure Suvarov.
Twenty minutes.
- Okay. - Keep your comm open.
- I wanna know what's going on. - I can't.
CTU is monitoring all frequencies. It's too risky.
All right. At least take this.
Thanks. - Be careful.
Where's O'Brian headed?
She's running a last-minute perimeter sweep.
- By herself? - Keep a real-time uplink open...
...with Suvarov's security people. Let me know when it's running.
Yes, sir.
Okay.
Hey.
As long as I can remember, every time I've had to talk to you...
...for one reason or another, I've started out by telling you how sorry I am.
I'm not gonna do that to you now.
You're gonna hear stories about what I've done today.
Some of them may even be true.
But no one, and I mean no one, can tell you why I did what I did except for me.
A lot of good people died today.
Not just President Hassan.
Operatives from CTU, members of other law-enforcement agencies.
Renee Walker...
...who I was very close to.
Yes?
Thank you.
President Suvarov's motorcade has just rounded the corner.
- Was Mrs. Hassan notified of his arrival? - I believe so, ma'am.
Yes or no, Tim? Which is it? Is she coming or not?
Why wouldn't she be?
President Taylor...
...that we are all here together is a tribute to your persistence.
Mrs. Hassan, I am sorry for your loss.
I admired your husband very much.
We're wanted upstairs for the press conference.
Yes, of course.
Mr. President.
I know that this is very difficult for you.
There's nothing left for either of us to say, Madam President.
Chloe O'Brian, Director of CTU.
Yes, ma'am. The master key and building schematics you requested.
Thank you.
- Mr. Secretary General. - Mr. Secretary.
Good afternoon, fellow delegates and ladies and gentlemen of the press.
The last 24 hours have been the most difficult...
...in this long and challenging road...
...that we've all traveled together to reach this moment.
The eyes of the entire world...
...are looking to the leaders standing here with me...
...ready to usher in a new era of transparency...
...honesty and trust.
President Taylor, President Hassan...
...President Suvarov...
...have each risen to this challenge for the sake of world peace.
And the treaty that they have created together...
...represents the culmination of their courageous efforts.
- Agent Burke? - Sir.
I need you to assemble a squad and deploy them to Sector C-7.
We already have men on post there.
Not enough if there's a threat along that corridor.
Keep your men outside until you hear otherwise.
Yes, sir.
- What are you doing here? - You don't have to kill Suvarov.
- Who else knows where I am? - Please listen.
Who else knows?
Cole and Arlo.
If I don't get you out of here in 10 minutes...
...Cole's gonna send in every agent we have.
Jack, they're gonna kill you.
There's a standing order to shoot you on sight.
I couldn't let that happen.
You should let them after me.
You're my friend. I didn't have a choice.
Neither do I.
Don't fight it. Don't fight it.
Thank you.
Mr. Secretary General...
...distinguished delegates, honored guests...
...today the world takes a tremendous step.
Jason, you watching this?
Jason?
I have a rifle pointed straight at your head.
- Bauer. - Bullet travels 2900 feet per second.
Try and move, you're a dead man.
You need to do exactly what I say, do you understand?
Do you understand?
Jack, I told you everything I know.
And you thought I believed you?
And aside from me, Novakovich was the only one...
...who knew that Suvarov was calling the shots.
What do you want?
Call President Suvarov and have him meet you...
...as soon as the press conference is over.
- What am I supposed to tell him? - Try the truth for a change.
You've got credible intelligence about a threat to his life.
