He's dead.
- What? - Someone shot him in the head.
What the hell is happening?
I see him. He's leaving the building.
I'm set.
Stop.
It's not him.
He can't be far.

Hey, you! That's not yours!
Jack?
[CHUCKLES]
Sweetheart, we already talked about this. Remember?
You're supposed to call me grandpa.
You don't look like a grandpa.
[CHUCKLES]
Couldn't agree with you more.
The cartoon you turned on is boring.
Okay. We'll find another one.
NEWS REPORTER: Air traffic delayed...
The boldest diplomatic initiative we've seen in a generation.
It could lay a foundation for real peace throughout the entire region.
Well, Bob, the president's certainly betting her legacy...
... on the success of these negotiations...
Grandpa, this isn't a cartoon.
Okay. Okay.

[CELL PHONE RINGS]
- Yeah? - Hi, Dad. Sorry we're late.
They're redirecting everyone around the UN.
- It's all right. We're doing fine. - How was the zoo?
We've spent most of our time just going back and forth...
...between black and polar bears.
I forgot to mention that she's going through a bear phase.
Well, she certainly knows what she wants.
- She reminds me of you. - Well, that's funny.
I always tell Stephen how much she reminds me of you.
Anyway, we'll be there in a few minutes.
Okay. Don't worry. We'll meet you in the lobby.
Great.
Sounds like they had fun.
They always do.
What's wrong?
- We talked to him about moving to L.A. - He said he'd think about it.
He hasn't mentioned one word about it since. And we leave tonight.
- Maybe he has to check with his doctors. - They cleared him two weeks ago.
He's finished with treatment.
I don't know.
My father has been on his own for so long.
Maybe he doesn't know any other way.
Why not just ask him again?
My father is not the type of person you ask twice.
I can do it.
REPORTER: Here at the United Nations, a White House spokesman just confirmed...
...Presidents Taylor and Hassan will hold a joint press conference...
...later this hour.
It is widely expected that President Hassan...
...will announce the dismantling of his country's nuclear weapons program.
President Hassan has stated that he considers these negotiations...
...a historic success and a new beginning...
...for his country and the entire Mideast region.
TAYLOR: I believe that that is a reasonable compromise.
Now, Mr. President, let's move on to the issue of verification.
The language in your latest proposal is vague.
Let me be clear.
My country agrees to abandon the pursuit of nuclear weapons...
...with full International Atomic Energy Agency safeguards.
TAYLOR: But our terms, Mr. President...
...were that the inspectors themselves would be American, not IAEA.
With respect, Madam President...
...your side pushed the point, but we never conceded.
With respect, your side has refused to negotiate the point in good faith.
Without Americans on the...
We're not going to let the nationality of a few hundred...
Verification has no teeth.
So only the United States can be trusted, Mr. Secretary?
This is the message you send to the world.
- You wonder why we don't negotiate... - Farhad.
Madam President, please excuse my brother's passion.
He only wants what is best for our country.
TAYLOR: I understand.
But we need to resolve this before we can move forward.
And ideally, before the press conference...
...which gives us less than an hour.
HASSAN: Madam President...
...what would your Congress say...
...if my Revolutionary Guard was stationed on your soil?
It's the same with my National Assembly.
Even if I agreed to this, they would not ratify it.
After all, I'm not a king.
Nor I a queen.
Too bad for both of us.
I'd like to adjourn and discuss this issue with our respective teams.
Of course.
You are aware he was a salesman before entering politics...
...household appliances.
You wanna bet he sold a lot of refrigerators?
[CHUCKLES]
Find a way to give him what he wants.
- Madam President... - You heard me.
Try to make the inspections work.
This man is a once-in-a-lifetime leader.
And he has already suspended his support for terrorist organizations...
...and privately, he's advocating for a two-state solution.
Now, how much further can we expect him to stick his neck out?
[ELEVATOR BELL DINGS]
Hey, come here.
- Did you name him yet? - Bear.
KIM: There she is.
Hi. Ha-ha-ha.
Hey.
I heard that you and Grandpa were hanging out with the bears.
[CHUCKLES]
Then we had ice cream, but I didn't like mine.
So Grandpa gave me his.
- That's nice. STEPHEN: Here, I got her.
- Thanks for watching her. - Of course.
[LAUGHS] Here.
Listen, I've been thinking a lot about what we talked about.
And I've made up my mind.
I wanna move back to Los Angeles with you.
- Really? - Yeah.
I got a friend who's got a security firm.
He'll give me consulting work and a place.
- Dad, I don't know what to say. - Come here.
Just give me a ride to the airport tonight.
- Wait, you're coming with us tonight? - Lf it's okay.
Stephen, he's coming with us tonight.
Just got a few more things to pack. I don't have much.
- I can be at your hotel in an hour. - Perfect. We need to finish packing.
It'll be all right if I fly back to Los Angeles with you?
- Yay! - Yay!
- Come on. I'll walk you to the car. KIM: Okay. Let's go.
[LAUGHS] Yeah.
- Yay. - I got her.
- Okay. - We're going in the car.
JACK: There. KIM: You all right?
Get your belt done up.
- Dad, I am so glad that you're doing this. - Me too.
- I love you. - Love you.
- I'll see you in an hour. STEPHEN: See you.
- Bye, sweetheart. TERl: Bye.
[KIM CHUCKLES]
[HORN HONKS]
[GROANS]
Good afternoon, everyone. Good afternoon.
All right, just a few things before we get started here.
Presidents Taylor and Hassan will make a statement...
...after being introduced by the secretary-general.
Q&A will follow, but I want you to keep your questions strictly on topic.
We're all operating under heightened security measures...
...so unless you've been dying to know what a chokehold feels like...
...keep your credentials visible at all times, all right?
That's all for now.
MEREDITH: Meredith Reed, press.
It's invalid.
What? It can't be invalid.
Can you double-check?
I did, ma'am. Your credentials have been revoked.
- Revoked by whom? - I don't have that information.
Okay. This has to be some sort of mistake.
You remember me. I've been here every day.
Please step aside, ma'am.
[SCOFFS]
I just talked to Secretary of State Kanin.
He's agreed to IAEA inspectors.
- That's good news. - There is a condition attached.
They're insisting the head of the verification team be an American.
- I think we can live with that, don't you? - You know where I stand.
We've surrendered too much in the name of peace.
Surrender is a strong word, Farhad.
And what have we surrendered really...
...apart from our nuclear ambition?
Isn't that enough?
Spinning 6000 centrifuges is good for political maneuvering...
...but it's helping to bankrupt our country.
The truth is we are not the ones being so generous.
President Taylor is lifting economic sanctions...
...offering an aid package worth billions of dollars.
- We got everything we wanted, Farhad. - As long as it's not a trick.
[CELL PHONE RINGS]
Hello?
Hi. I'm sorry to bother you with something so mundane...
...but I'm stuck outside.
Stuck?
MEREDITH: My press credentials have been revoked.
I don't know what happened.
I'll take care of it.
Are you sure?
Of course.
Thank you.
Will you...? Will you still have time for the interview later?
Yes. After the press conference.
- I'm looking forward to it, Mr. President. - So am I.
Reinstate Miss Reed's clearance.
- I was only... - Just do it.
Omar...
...people are starting to talk about you and this reporter.
And saying what?
Miss Reed is a journalist and she's profiling me for her newspaper.
- But you have feelings for her. - I'm friendly with her.
Think whatever you like.
This woman poses no threat to me or the peace process.
Not here maybe...
...but back in our country, you'll be torn apart.
The mullahs will say that you have been corrupted by the West.
What do you say, Farhad?
Have I?
Have I been corrupted by the West?
You know I don't believe that.
But you are married.
Dalia hasn't been a wife to me for a long time.
- That's no excuse to be reckless. - I've done nothing reckless.
I've done nothing reckless.
Just reinstate Miss Reed's clearance now.
I'll see to it.
[KNOCK ON DOOR]
[DOOR UNLOCKS]
Victor.
What are you doing here?
- How'd you find me? - I was always resourceful.
That's what you liked about me.
Get in here.
- Uhn. - Take a seat.
- What happened? - I need help.
- You need an ambulance. - No. That's what he's waiting for.
- He's listening to the emergency channels. - Who?
Listen to me. I have information.
Best I can do is get an ambulance.
I'm out. I don't work for the government anymore.
This you wanna hear.
- Why? - Why?
Because you always do the right thing.
There's a big hit going down.
- On who? - President Hassan at the UN.
He's getting taken out.
- When? - Today.
Before he can sign this thing with Taylor.
You see? I told you you'd be interested.
How do you know this?
I got the hitter into the country. Been setting him up with what he needs.
And then he tried to take you out.
Look, Jack, you're the only one at CTU I ever did business with.
I need you to call them, vouch for me, so I can cut a deal.
- Come on, Jack. Uhn! - Keep your seat.
Look, I swear, this is real.
Someone is trying to make sure this agreement doesn't happen.
I'm not doing anything until you give me your weapon.
Better not screw with me.
- I swear I'm not. - Who's the hitter? What's his name?
- Who's the hitter? - I don't know his name.
- He's Russian. - Not good enough.
- Who is the hitter? - Look.
I know how to find him and stop him before he makes the hit.
But I'm not saying another word until I make my deal.
You're lucky I'm retired.
MAN: Sign here. - This is Cole Ortiz.
Move Singer's team and tell him I want updates every quarter hour.
Get back to me with confirmations.
Hastings wants to expand the patrol perimeter around the UN.
I'm glad. But I barely have enough men to cover the perimeter now.
- I'll see if NYPD can help you cover. - Uh, Dana?
My sister said she left you a couple of messages about bridesmaids' dresses.
Told her there was something wrong with your voicemail.
I got her messages. I haven't had a chance.
These double shifts, I just...
MAN: I revised the patrol protocols at the UN.
- Thought you might like to look at it. - Yeah. Yeah, I do.
- I will call your sister back. I promise. - Thanks.
[COMPUTER BEEPING]
Damn it. What is the problem?
DANA: Percussive maintenance?
What my professor called it when I hit my computer.
- Can I help? - Got the list for the press conference.
I can't get the facial recognition done in time.
You're running each person individually. You do them in a batch.
- Not if the data's in different formats. - That used to be true, but here.
There is no reason to be shy about asking for help.
Okay? Don't worry. You'll catch up. You're doing great.
[PHONE RINGS]
Excuse me.
O'Brian.
- Chloe, it's Jack. CHLOE: Jack.
- How's Kim? Did you tell her about L. A? - Can't go into that. I need the director.
Mr. Hastings is on the phone and he really doesn't like to be interrupted.
It's regarding a plot to assassinate Hassan.
- See if that gets his attention. - Oh, okay. Hold on.
All right, now, give me an overlay on the UN, view from the west.
Now, overlay the distribution of security teams, please.
That looks good.
MAN: Anything else, sir? - Give me a comp with incident reports...
...and satellite imaging. - Excuse me, Mr. Hastings.
Gary, hold on for a second.
Jack Bauer is on line three. Needs to talk to you.
- Bauer? - It's about a plot against Hassan.
I thought you'd wanna take the call.
Gary, I'll call you back.
Mr. Bauer, this is Brian Hastings.
I'm with an informant I used to run. He has intel on an assassination attempt.
It's gonna take place today.
We received threats in regard to the peace conference.
I can only imagine.
My informant is Victor Aruz. I used him in the Salazar op.
- Pull his file. HASTINGS: Pull it.
He's been shot in the arm, he claims by the assassin.
Look, I don't think this is something you should take lightly.
And what does Mr. Aruz want in return for his information?
CTU protection and immunity.
- That's a lot to ask, Mr. Bauer. - Have you pulled his file yet?
No.
I know this son of a bitch, and my instinct is telling me...
...that you need to pay attention to this. - I need more than your instinct, Bauer.
CTU isn't the organization you knew.
Fine. But understand this.
If anything happens to President Hassan...
...I will call President Taylor...
...and tell her that I tried to provide you with this intel and you ignored it.
- What is taking so long for the file? - I'm searching through the archives.
Mr. Hastings, I need your answer now.
Are you bringing Aruz in or not?
[SIGHS]
Let me talk to him.
I'll put you on speaker.
- Go ahead. HASTINGS [OVER SPEAKER]: Mr. Aruz...
...I'm gonna need other details to corroborate your story.
The hitter took out two of my guys, Escobar and Tellez.
- Check with the cops. - We will.
Mr. Bauer, where are you?
1145 West 18th.
I'll send a chopper to pick you up.
Closest helipad to you is the 12th precinct.
That's five blocks away.
Can you get him there, Mr. Bauer?
- Yeah. - I'll have a team there in 20 minutes.
Don't use official channels. The assassin is monitoring...
...emergency bandwidth. - Got it.
Gather Comm and Tactical. Tell them we've got a situation.
Let's go.
ARLO: There you are.
Now, that doesn't suck.
- Arlo. - Yeah.
Come on. Hastings called an emergency briefing.
If he catches you doing that...
...you're gonna be out of a job. - Be worth it. I think this might be love.
Now.
This is CTU transferring control of drones A31 and 32 to HS Aerial Command.
Yeah, roger that. Offload confirmed.
All right. We've got a situation. Cole, scramble a chopper for a pickup.
Haven't finished the patrol perimeters.
- This is a priority. - Who am I picking up?
Someone who claims to have intel about a threat to Hassan.
- How good is the intel? - According to Jack Bauer, very.
- Jack Bauer? - He's delivering the informant.
Who is Jack Bauer?
Downtown. Chloe is sending you the coordinates.
Take a small team with you.
Torres' people are free.
I'll need a second team to secure landing.
One team will be enough. Use a drone to protect ground operation.
Arlo, scramble a drone alongside the chopper.
Full spectrum coverage of the landing zone as well as the air corridor.
Done.
We're clear. Come on.
Dispatch, this is Unit 2354.
WOMAN [OVER RADIO]: Go ahead, 2354.
Got a plate match on a stolen vehicle.
Plate, model and tag.
COP: Gray Pontiac.
Plate, Sierra-November-Echo one-five-Charlie-five.
Got bullet holes in the windshield and body.
That's him.
WOMAN: Roger that. What's your location?
COP: Vehicle's parked on 18th, just west of Ninth Avenue.
We'll take care of it.
[IN FOREIGN ACCENT] Will you?
Or am I going to have to step in?
- Now would be the time to tell me. - Aruz is a dead man, sir.
- You have my word. - Good.
- Thank you. - Excuse me, Madam President.
President Hassan accepted our counterproposals on inspections.
That is great news.
By the end of this next session, we may have a signed agreement.
[SIGHS]
It's an extraordinary accomplishment, Allison.
[SIGHS]
Is something wrong?
I was thinking about Henry.
Achieving a comprehensive peace agreement...
...with the Islamic Republic was something...
...that he and I talked about years ago.
I wish that he were here to share the moment.
You surprised?
Considering his behavior during the divorce, yes, I am surprised.
He went out of his way to hurt you.
He was angry, Ethan. I sent our daughter to prison.
You refused to cover up a murder.
Olivia was responsible for what happened. No one else.
Still, if the situation had been reversed, I might've felt the same way as Henry.
Sorry if I'm interrupting. Just talked to Brian Hastings at CTU.
What's going on, Rob?
They have someone. He's got information about an assassination plot on Hassan.
- How real is the threat? - Enough to loop you in.
This informant came to them through Jack Bauer.
I thought Jack was out of this. How did he get involved?
This informant came to him.
We'll know more once the informant signs a deal you authorize.
- How secure is the venue? - Very. And I just raised the alert level.
We need to inform Hassan about the threat before the conference.
We can't tell Hassan.
Certainly not before the press conference.
- Why not? - Well, he might scuttle everything...
...out of concern for his own safety. - Hassan is a big boy.
He's used to taking risks or he wouldn't be here.
If Hassan finds out we knew and didn't tell him...
...the trust we've built up goes out the window...
...then he'll pull out of talks.
Frankly, I wouldn't blame him.
I'll think about it.
Thank you both.
Madam President, holding this back from Hassan could be disastrous.
I said I'd think about it, Rob. Thank you.
ROB: Ethan?
Listen. Sorry if I went after you a little hard in there.
I was just making my point.
No need to apologize, Rob.
I recommended you to the president because you're not afraid to speak up.
She needs that.
Yeah. Well, still, I know I can get carried away. I...
Don't worry, kid.
I ain't dead yet.
I can handle myself.
Even up against you.
[SIRENS WAILING]
Sweetheart, it's me.
Hey, we're almost finished packing. Are you on your way?
Something came up. I'm gonna be a little late.
- How late? - I think I should meet you at the airport.
- Is everything okay? - Yeah.
- Are you sure? - Kim, I promise everything is fine.
Teri is so excited that you're coming back with us.
- Let me know when you're on your way. - Okay. Thanks, sweetheart.
[VICTOR GROANS]
Keep your eyes open. The precinct's two blocks away.
Let's cut through here. Come on.
HASTINGS: The FAA's cleared a route...
...and informed all relevant agencies that we will be in the air.
MAN [OVER PHONE]: Copy that.
Good luck.
Aruz's file was in a proprietary database. That's why it took so long.
Shouldn't have thrown you. You've been here a month.
Almost a month. I've had to relearn the interface on every major system here.
- Everything's changed. - And you're having trouble adapting.
But I don't think it's a question of your intelligence.
- Thanks. - I think it's ambivalence.
- Ambivalence? - I know the reason you took this job...
...was because your husband was downsized.
- Am I wrong? - No.
I mean, yes.
Please, give me a little more time to get up to speed here.
Mr. Hastings, I need this job.
Fair enough. But I'm all about efficiency, so if your performance doesn't improve...
...you may wanna rethink working here.
Now, I trust this has been clarifying.
Sure. If you really wanted to be more efficient...
...why not say, "If I don't catch up soon, I'm gonna be fired"?
Your flight path is a straight shot Southwest.
The 12th precinct confirmed that their helipad is clear and operational.
Comm net and satellite coverage, both legs...
...and full-time aerial from the drone...
- Why are you looking at me like that? - Like what?
Look, I just wanna make sure nothing's wrong.
Nothing's wrong, like I said.
- Just be careful, okay? - I will be.
- You ready? - Yeah.
Let's go.
You know, maybe she should finally set a date.
She's getting cold feet.
How about you shut up and just focus on your assignment?
[VICTOR GRUNTING]
Come on, Victor!
[GROANS]
Victor? Victor!
Stay with me.
Victor, stay with me! Stay...
[GROANING]
Damn it.
[PANTING]
JACK: Stay with me!
We're gonna need to recompress the wound.
WOMAN [OVER TV]: If successful, the agreement could be...
... the beginning of a real lasting peace in a long-troubled region.
Presidents Taylor and Hassan are scheduled...
... to give their first joint press conference...
... in just a few minutes, and we'll carry that live.
In a moment, Christiane Doumany will have a report on the history...
... of the many failed attempts at a Mideast peace...
... and why this accord may be different.
- It's time to go. - Tell your father I'll be right there.
I'll wait until you're done.
He doesn't trust me to be on time.
Of course he trusts you.
When did you become such a good liar?
You don't have to defend your father, darling.
He can take care of himself.
You look beautiful, Dalia.
And you look handsome.
Let's not pretend any more than we have to.
I'm sorry you had to see that.
It's not your fault.
My dear Kayla.
We should go.
Yes.
[INDISTINCT CHATTER]
Let her through.
Thank you.
I will tell you the same thing that I told him.
Unless you want to destroy everything he's worked for, stay away from him.
ROB: Excuse me, ma'am.
President Hassan is on his way.
You're not gonna tell him he's being targeted.
- You risk destroying in a single day... - Rob.
You've made your point. More than once.
I don't like keeping this from Hassan any more than you do.
Then tell him.
Mr. President.
Ladies.
You've met my chief of staff?
- Of course. - Hello, Mr. President.
I haven't had the chance to thank you for compromising on the verification issue.
It was the right thing to do.
I'd like to brief you both on the format of the press conference.
The secretary-general will be introducing you after brief remarks.
The conference shouldn't take any longer than 25 minutes or so.
[SCREAMING]
Put your hand on it.
Let's go.
We're almost there.
MAN: Don't move!
Got a call you're having a problem here.
- What's up? - My name is Jack Bauer.
I'm transporting this man on behalf of CTU.
He's an informant vital to national security.
Call it in.
The men trying to kill him are monitoring all emergency channels.
- Do not let him make that call. - Get against the dumpster!
At least take us into the precinct. We can verify everything.
Get down. Now!
Damn it!
I'm gonna cover you. Make a run for the door. You ready? Go! Go!
Keep moving. I'm out of bullets.
Chloe, how far out is the helicopter?
- Two minutes. What's wrong? JACK: We're under attack.
Put me in touch with whoever is in command.
Okay. It's Agent Ortiz. He's the head of Field Ops.
- Is there a problem? - Yes.
Mr. Hastings, we have a situation with the pickup.
Keep going to the roof. Now. Don't stop for anything. Keep going.
- Agent Ortiz, you're on with Jack Bauer. COLE: Roger.
What's going on, Mr. Bauer?
We're being pursued. No way we're gonna make the precinct.
We're in a building on West 21st, three doors in from Ninth Avenue.
We're heading to your position now.
We're looking for an alternate pickup.
Copy that.
Right there. The roof of that parking structure might work.
- Can you zoom in closer? - Satellite is refreshing. A minute.
ARLO: I'm moving the drone there now.
A parking structure next to the building. The roof looks clear to land.
DANA: Did you get that? - Yeah, I see it.
Mr. Bauer, looks like you can access that roof from the eighth floor.
- How far out are you? - Ninety seconds.
Copy that.
Don't be late.
Victor. Victor, listen to me.
Tell me everything about the hitter, so I can call it in if we don't make it.
If I don't make it, I don't care what happens.
Get me to CTU.
Get them. Go, go, go. Turn.
You always were a son of a bitch. Come on.
[GRUNTING
[SCREAMING]
Come on. Let's go.
[HELICOPTER WHIRRING]
Stay there.
Lock down access points to the roof!
AGENT: Yes, sir. Take the east side!
- Where are the hostiles? - They're dead.
Get him out of here. He's losing a lot of blood.
Cole Ortiz. An honor to meet you.
Thanks for doing this. Hastings wants to debrief you back at CTU.
I'm not going back. I delivered him.
- No, Mr. Bauer... - I got a flight to catch.
That's it?
Get down!
HASTINGS: Ortiz, report in.
CHLOE: Agent Ortiz?
Agent Ortiz, what's your status?
Agent Ortiz?
Jack, come in.
Jack, can you hear me?
Anyone, come in.
Victor.
Victor. Victor. Come on.
Stay with me. Stay with me.
Listen. You don't wanna die like this.
Do the right thing. Tell me what you know.
The hitter has someone on the inside.
Close to Hassan.
Give me a name.
Give me a name. Give me a name!
Victor. Victor, who's on the inside?
Victor!
Come on.
Come on, come on.
No.
[SIRENS APPROACHING]
He's dead.
MEREDITH: No.
The brother revoked my clearance, but I had Hassan reinstate it.
No. I know.
I know. I know I'm behind schedule.
But it'll get done.
