24 s07e24 Episode Script

Day 7: 7:00 A.M.-8:00 A.M.

[Jack Bauer.]
Previously on 24.
Before his death, Jonas Hodges told us that there were other parties involved with him in the creation of this bioweapon.
The F.
B.
I.
Has apprehended Tony Almeida.
He is a key figure in this plot.
Jonas Hodges was killed outside F.
B.
I.
Headquarters and Ms.
Taylor might be involved.
Olivia's capable of many things, but I can't believe committing murder is one of them.
[Aaron.]
I need you to access the digital recording system- to see if their conversation was recorded.
[Olivia On Speaker.]
What I can't live with is that monster getting away with this.
My operatives are with your daughter.
In fact, I'm looking at her right now.
You will help Tony Almeida escape, or my people will murder your daughter.
- Don't move! - Jack, why? The people that are working with Tony have operatives with Kim right now.
- They've threatened to kill her if I don't break him out.
- [Tires Squealing.]
[Renee.]
The people who were watching you- they're our only lead to finding your father.
[Kim Screams.]
[Grunts.]
That laptop has the camera that they were using to track me.
We may be able to backtrace to the people that have my father.
Your people are gonna be able to launch their biological attacks just as they originally planned.
- How? - We haveJack.
The pathogen's in his organs.
We'll be able to harvest everything we need from his body.
Tony believes in what we're doing.
Are you suggesting I meet with him? I'll look Almeida in the eye, and if for any reason I don't like what I see I can't let him walk out of that meeting alive.
How much longer does he have? [Man.]
Couple ofhours, give or take.
The pathogen can survive up to two hours after death.
In fact, the only sure way to destroy it is by exposure to extreme temperatures above 500 degrees Celsius.
Get him ready to move.
[Groans.]
- [Groans.]
- [Alarm Blaring.]
[Jack Bauer.]
The following takes place between 7:00 a.
m.
And 8:00 a.
m.
- [Siren Wailing.]
- [Chattering.]
[Radio Chatter.]
Tell me if you need more people on this, and I will get them for you.
We don't need people.
We need to get lucky.
The transmitter node on the laptop is encrypted with multiple relays.
Can you source the transmission or not? I'm trying to come up with a work-around.
- Call me as soon as you have something.
- I will.
- They still can't source the transmission? - They're working on it.
Chloe and Janis are doing everything they can.
Is there no other lead, no other way to find my father? This is a good lead, Kim.
The only reason we have it is 'cause of you.
Yeah, except my father is dying, and we don't know how much time he has left.
[Shouts.]
[Panting.]
[Gunshots.]
[Whirring.]
[Loud Thud.]
[Engine Revving.]
No! [Grunts.]
[Knocking.]
- Come in.
- [Door Opens.]
What are you still doing here? Just finishing up the conversation we started.
Aaron, I told you to escort Ethan to the gate.
Now take him out of my office and off the White House grounds.
No, ma'am.
I am not gonna do that.
I'm calling security.
[Collier On Speaker.]
Having me dig up dirt on Noah Daniels is one thing.
This is a whole different animal.
[Olivia On Speaker.]
I'm aware of that, Martin.
- I want this to happen.
I want this person taken care of.
- [Collier.]
Mm-hmm.
[Olivia On Speaker.]
It's Jonas Hodges.
The digital card you confiscated from me was blank.
I gave the real one to Agent Pierce.
How long have you known, Aaron? I had my suspicions, ma'am but I was hoping I was wrong.
I'll wait outside, sir.
Ethan, this doesn't tell the whole story.
Sounds pretty clear to me.
Hodges is dead.
You're responsible.
I know, but I tried to stop it from happening.
Oh, save it, Olivia.
You can't talk your way out of this situation.
Not this time.
All right, Ethan.
You win.
I'll resign.
Come up with some excuse.
You could have your job again.
Everything will go- This isn't about getting my job back! It's about the truth.
The truth could destroy my mother's administration.
I am fully aware of the implications if this goes public.
You don't have to spell them out for me.
Then what do you want? [Sighs.]
For the president to take the next step.
Whether she decides to prosecute this or bury it, that's her call.
But she needs to know the truth.
I'll let you tell her yourself.
I can't believe you're doing this.
You're betraying everything that you've ever worked for.
I know you think this country failed you and I don't care what kind of ideology you believe in now.
This is no way to fight for it.
What you're doing is wrong.
This is wrong, and you know it! Damn it, Tony.
Look at me.
Please as someone who was once your friend let me die in peace.
Don't let them use me to kill innocent people.
I have no intention of letting them use you as a pathogen, Jack.
- I never did.
- I overheard you.
This was your idea.
You sold it to them.
It was just a play.
- A play? - To get the man who's coming here right now.
Took me three years to find him.
Took me another year to get him to meet me face-to-face.
I had to prove myself to him by taking down Jonas Hodges.
I had to convince him that I was a true believer in his cause.
What the hell are you talking about? His name is Alan Wilson.
He was the man behind Charles Logan.
He's the one who ordered the hit on David Palmer.
And he had Michelle killed to cover his tracks.
This is the man who murdered my wife, Jack.
Everything that you've done today is for personal revenge? It's about justice.
Justice? You killed innocent people, Tony! Ten times as many people would have died if it hadn't have been for me.
The deeper I dug to find the person responsible for Michelle's death the more I kept running into men likeJonas Hodges.
They're the ones with the crazy ideology, Jack, not me.
I'm the one who had a plan to bring them down.
I'd enlisted Bill and Chloe to help me track all the elements of this group.
And when I finally got what I wanted they would turn 'em in and shut 'em down.
But you screwed that all up, didn't you, Jack? You see I'm the one who saved lives today, Jack, not you.
I'm the one who helped you recover the C.
I.
P.
Device.
I'm the one who warned you about the White House attacks! I'm the one who stopped Jonas Hodges from launching those missiles! You tell yourself whatever you want.
You launched a biological attack on Washington Center Station and if we hadn't gotten there in time, thousands of innocent people would have been killed! I did what I had to do to get Alan Wilson there.
And now he's gonna die.
You kill him, and no one will ever know the full extent of this conspiracy.
I'm not gonna kill him, Jack.
You are.
Damn you, Tony.
Damn you.
I'm sorry that it has to be you.
But the truth is, they wouldn't let me within 50 feet of the guy.
You're the one he's coming for.
You're not honoring Michelle's life.
You are reveling in her death, and she would despise you for this.
[Electronic Twitter.]
[Grunts.]
[Beeping.]
[Beeping.]
[Jack Grunts.]
We're clear.
- When's Wilson coming? - Soon.
- He wants to see Bauer's medical record.
- It's right over there.
[Jack Breathing Heavily.]
[Beeping.]
Wilson doesn't know about us.
And it's best to keep it that way, at least for now.
Sure.
I understand.
[Electronic Twitter.]
He's here.
- You ready? - Yeah.
Let's go.
[Train Horn Blows In Distance.]
Put your hands behind your head.
We're all clear, sir.
[Man.]
Go ahead.
That's far enough for you.
Hello Cara.
This is Tony Almeida.
- Been looking forward to this, sir.
- Yes, I know.
Where's Bauer? Right inside, second door on the right.
- [Keys Clink.]
- You'll need this.
[Door Opens.]
So, Cara thinks you should be playing a larger role in our organization.
- You've been an asset.
- Thank you, sir but I believe there's a lot more I can bring to the table.
But first I want to see Bauer's pathology report.
I have it right here.
[Renee.]
This is the F.
B.
I.
You're surrounded.
- Lay down your weapons.
- Fire at will! Tony! [Sirens Wailing.]
[Tires Screech.]
[Groans.]
[Machine Gun Fire.]
Set us down.
[Man Shouts.]
[Groans.]
I need you to get me to that green vehicle.
- [Engine Starts.]
- [Tires Squealing.]
- [Grunting.]
- Jack.
Stay away from me.
I'm wired with C-4.
Tony's got the detonator.
- Stay away! - Wait.
I know this trigger mechanism.
- I can disarm it.
- [Beeping.]
- Where's Kim? - She's safe.
She was the reason we were able to find you.
Tony's been playing both sides all along.
You need to stop him.
He's trying to kill the man who's behind this conspiracy.
His name is Alan Wilson.
He was responsible for killing Tony's wife, Michelle.
That's why he's doing this.
You want to end this for good, you need to stop Tony from killing him otherwise you're gonna lose any chance of exposing the others.
- [Beeping.]
- Okay.
You're clear.
Let's go.
It's the Woodside Industrial Complex.
We're in the southeast quadrant, on our way to the perimeter.
Call me when you have an exfiltration point.
How did this happen? Huh? - How did they track us? - I don't know.
[Scraping.]
Tony! [Exhales Sharply.]
Thank God you're okay.
The extraction team will be here soon, but we gotta move.
[Gunshot.]
[Thuds.]
It took me a long time to find you to peel back all the layers of people you hide behind.
But I stayed patient.
'Cause ever since the day you had her killed the only thing that kept me alive was this moment right here.
Hmm.
You sound like you were involved in some kind of a tragedy but I had nothing to do with it.
[Whispers.]
Oh, no, no, no.
No.
[Whispers.]
Uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh.
See, Michelle and me had gotten out of all this.
We made it out together.
And we were gonna start a whole new life until you came along and took it all away in a split second.
[Groans.]
[Breathing Heavily.]
It wasn't just my wife you murdered.
She was carrying my son.
You killed my son! My son! And now I'm gonna kill you.
[Gunshot.]
[Groaning.]
Tony, don't move.
Tony, don't move! [Groans.]
[Groaning.]
- Get him out of here.
- [Groans.]
[Groans.]
These people think they can take everything away from us, Jack! Somebody had to stop 'em.
And what did you do, huh? You ran away! That's right! You ran away, Jack! You're one of them now! Congratulations! How would Teri feel about that, huh, Jack? Huh? [Tony Shouts.]
[Tony Shouts, Faint.]
[Handcuffs Clicking.]
[Beeping.]
[Siren Wailing.]
- [Car Engine Starts.]
- [Chattering.]
[Chattering Continues.]
A lot of people died today because of you including someone close to me.
You will be charged with treason and conspiracy to launch terrorist attacks against this country.
The only way that I see you avoiding the death penalty is by cooperating.
Tell me who else is involved in this conspiracy and I will make sure that your cooperation is taken into account by the grand jury.
Hmm.
How can I cooperate if I have no idea what you're talking about? That's not gonna work, Wilson.
Whatever this conspiracy is that you think that I'm a part of I guarantee you won't find a shred of material evidence connecting me to it.
In the eyes of the law, I'm an innocent man.
You son of a bitch.
Anything else you need to say, you can say to my attorneys.
Ma'am, they're almost ready to take Bauer to the hospital.
You wanted a heads-up.
Hmm.
Hmm.
I'm giving you hydromorphone to make the ride to the hospital easier.
It'll make you a little sleepy, but it will break the pain cycle.
No.
Not yet.
Please.
Jack.
Could you give us a moment? Dr.
Macer wants you at the hospital.
It's all right.
She can wait.
Thank you.
What happened? He's denying everything.
Claims that we don't have a case against him.
Is he right? Maybe-which means he has absolutely no reason to tell us who else is involved in this with him.
But I can make him talk.
If we don't find these people, one day they will launch another attack and I don't see how I can live with myself knowing that there was something I could have done to stop it.
I don't know what to do.
I can't tell you what to do.
I've been wrestling with this one my whole life.
L- I see 15 people held hostage on a bus, and everything else goes out the window.
I will do whatever it takes to save them- and I mean whatever it takes.
I guess maybe I thought if I save them I could save myself.
[Chuckles.]
Do you regret anything that you did today? [Chuckles.]
No.
But then again, I don't work for the F.
B.
I.
I don't understand.
You took an oath.
You made a promise to uphold the law.
When you cross that line, it always starts off with a small step.
Before you know it, you're running as fast as you can in the wrong direction just to justify what you started in the first place.
These laws were written by much smarter men than me.
And in the end, I know that these laws have to be more important than the 15 people on the bus.
I know that's right.
In my mind I know that's right.
L-I just don't think my heart could ever have lived with that.
I guess the only advice I can give you is try to make choices that you can live with.
I don't know what to say.
Don't say anything at all.
Mr.
Bauer, we really need to go.
[Beeping.]
Henry! What are you doing out of bed? - What's going on? - Olivia wouldn't say until you got here.
You'll understand when I tell you.
It's gonna be hard enough to say once.
I'm listening, Livy.
What's this about? Jonas Hodges.
He's dead because of me.
Oh, Livy.
Don't tell me you were the one who leaked the information.
It's worse than that.
Olivia talk to us.
He killed Roger.
Hodges killed my brother and then you agreed to put him into witness protection.
And the thought ofhim getting away was too much for me.
So I called Martin Collier.
He had once told me he knew someone who could do this kind of thing.
You're saying Collier hired someone to killJonas Hodges? No.
I did.
I tried calling it off, but it was too late, and everything was happening so fast.
Olivia, who else knows about this? Ethan.
He has a recording of my conversation with Martin.
He's agreed not to turn it over to the Attorney General.
He says he'll respect whatever you decide to do with the evidence.
- Mom, say something.
- How could you do this, Olivia? How could you do something so stupid? I'm sorry.
I tried to call it off.
I swear.
[Taylor.]
It doesn't matter, darling.
It happened.
For God's sake, Allison.
Stop yelling at her.
- Hodges killed our son.
- I know what he did.
Then you know, if anyone deserves to die, it's him.
All you should be thinking about now is how to protect our daughter.
Protect her? How? Destroy that recording.
And cover up a murder? Henry, I can't just disregard the law.
Allison, spare me your sanctimony.
You're Olivia's mother.
I'm also the president of the United States.
And our family's already paid a steep enough price for that.
What are you saying, Henry? You know exactly what I'm saying.
Your job cost our son his life.
That is a cruel thing to say.
I couldn't have done anything to prevent Roger's death.
But you can do something about this.
For God's sakes, Allison.
We've already lost one child.
[Knocking.]
I'm sorry to interrupt, Madam President, but there's some news from the Bureau you need to hear.
Uh, good news.
[Clears Throat.]
I'll be down in a moment, Tim.
Yes, ma'am.
[Door Closes.]
[Henry.]
Go, Allison.
But so help me destroy that recording and save what's left of this family.
Go.
[Door Opens.]
[Door Closes.]
Dad, what did I do? We're going to figure this out.
I'm sorry.
We'll figure it out.
He's a high-value suspect.
Make sure you restrict access until I get there.
[Janis On Phone.]
Agent Walker's bringing him back now.
- What's their E.
T.
A.
- About 10 minutes.
I'll be there in 20.
Have Wilson's transfer papers in order by then.
- Yes, sir.
- [Beeps.]
Excuse me.
Chloe.
I've gotta work on Wilson's transfer papers so we're gonna have to schedule debriefing for later.
- I can come back later, or tomorrow.
- You staying in town? I want to be here forJack.
I'd like to thank you for all the help you gave me today.
Yeah.
It was interesting.
Given what you have to work with, uh, you're doing a pretty good job.
I'll take that as a compliment.
Thank you.
Good.
That's what it was meant to be.
Because the pathogen was weaponized, the disease is at an advanced stage.
I'm sorry, Mr.
Bauer.
All I can do is administer morphine which will induce a coma.
- But you won't feel any pain.
- No morphine.
Not yet, please.
Excuse me, Dr.
Macer.
Mr.
Bauer has a visitor.
Yeah.
It's all right.
[Monitor Beeping.]
He'll see you now.
I'll be outside.
Thank you for coming.
I was surprised to get your call.
I'm dying.
I know.
[Breathing Erratically.]
I made so many mistakes.
A-And I always thought that I would have the time to correct them.
You have the time.
Right now.
You don't know what I've done.
We live in complex times, Mr.
Bauer.
Nothing is black-and-white.
But I do know this: I see before me a man with all his flaws and all his goodness.
Simply a man.
[Breathing Erratically.]
Let us both forgive ourselves for all the wrongs that we have done.
Thank you.
It's time.
[Beeping.]
Olivia, come and sit down.
No, I can't.
[Door Opens.]
I never imagined that this job would- would be so hard on both of you.
I had no idea of the price this family would pay.
And for that, I am so sorry.
But I have a sworn duty to enforce the Constitution.
Failing to honor that oath would be the worst kind ofhypocrisy.
Olivia, I love you more than anything in this world and I will do everything I can to help you through this but as president, this is what I have to do no matter how much it breaks my heart.
Agent Pierce will remand you to federal custody.
Ma'am, I'm escorting you to theJustice Department where you'll be held until formal charges have been issued.
I'm sorry, honey.
Henry.
[Door Closes.]
[Exhales Deeply.]
Allison.
Um - if you'd like to talk later- - No.
As much as I wanted to cover this up, l- I couldn't.
You don't have to explain yourself to me, Madam President.
- I understand completely.
- Henry doesn't.
He'll come around.
In time.
I don't think he will, Ethan.
I really don't.
I've lost my family.
I've lost everyone.
Not everyone.
Then you'll take back your letter of resignation? If you want me to.
I do.
I need your help, Ethan.
And I need it now.
[Sniffles.]
The F.
B.
I.
Has taken a man into custody.
His name is Alan Wilson.
[Chatter On Police Radio.]
[Chatter On Police Radio.]
[Door Closes.]
Woods is on his way to pick up Wilson.
You need to sign the transfer documents.
What's wrong? - What's going on? - [Electronic Twitter.]
- Get out of here, Janis.
- Excuse me? - I said get out of here.
- What are you doing? Get out! No.
Absolutely not.
I'm staying right here until Wilson is transferred.
- Fine.
- What are you- Renee, what are you doing? - Put your hands over your head.
- [Scoffs.]
I said do it now, Janis! Secure your hands to that pole.
- Now! - Okay, okay, okay.
Just-Just calm down, all right? Just- Renee, please don't do this.
Please don't do this.
You've done yourjob.
You arrested him.
Let the courts take it from here.
Stop this now, before it's too late.
Don't throw away your career.
This is absolutely insane.
Larry would not have wanted this.
Don't dishonor his death like this.
