JACK BAUER: {Voice over} Right now, Terrorists are plotting to
assassinate a Presidential Candidate. My wife and daughter have been targeted.
And people I work with may be invovled in both. I'm Federal Agent Jack Bauer and
today is the longest day of my life.
JACK BAUER: {Voice over} The following takes place between 10:00 p.m. and
11:00 p.m. on the day of the California Presidential Primary.
{THE CAMERA DISPLAY AN ARIAL VIEW OF DOWNTOWN LOS ANGELES AT 10:00 P.M. NEXT WE
CUT INTO THE DRAZEN'S VAN. ANDRE DRAZEN CALLS JACK WHO IS DRIVING TOWARDS THE
LOCATION ANDRE TOLD HIM TO GO TO.}
JACK BAUER: Yeah.
ANDRE DRAZEN: Proceed to Palmer's hotel.
JACK BAUER: What do you want me to do there?
ANDRE DRAZEN: When your Government abducted my father, they also froze two
hundred million dollars of our assets. Palmer has the necessary clearance to
unfreeze them.
JACK BAUER: So in the end, everything that happened today was because of
money?
ANDRE DRAZEN: I wouldn't say that. That money is ours. We'll call Palmer at this
number at exactly 10:45. Once I receive confirmation of the transfer, I'll give
you further instuctions.
JACK BAUER: What kind of instructions?
{ANDRE WITH A HAPPY LOOK ON HIS FACE}
JACK BAUER: You want me to take out Palmer?
ANDRE DRAZEN: Of course. That's why we let you go. That's why we have your
daughter.......Jack?
JACK BAUER: I'm still here.
ANDRE DRAZEN: Remember we will call at 10:45. I trust I don't have to tell you
what will happen if Palmer doesn't answer. {HANGS UP}
GEORGE MASON: We have to work under a couple of assumptions. The olny way to
find Jack is through Drazen. The only way to get to Drazen is if Alexis takes us
there. We have to devote all of our resources to finding Alexis.
NINA MEYERS: Yeah, but he shed the tracker.
GEORGE MASON: I know. So we run satelite and run computer simulators.
{PHONE RINGS}
GEORGE MASON: Yeah?
JACK BAUER: George It's me.
GEORGE MASON: Jack, are you all right?
JACK BAUER: Yes. Drazen let me go but I can't come in yet.
GEORGE MASON: What do mean?
JACK BAUER: George listen to me. Tell Teri I'm out, I know she's worried about
me. If Drazen calls don't tell him that we talked. It'll put Kim in danger.
GEORGE MASON: Fine but Jack, Let us help you.
JACK BAUER: George I got to go. {HANGS UP}
GEORGE MASON: I don't like the sound of that.
NINA MEYERS: What do you think he's doing?
GEORGE MASON: Drazen let him go for a reason. Jack won't let us help him. He
won't tell us what he's doing. Whatever he's doing, He's trying to protect
Kim...........What's the one thing we know for sure that Drazen wants?
NINA MEYERS: Palmer dead.
{GEORGE PICKS UP THE PHONE}
GEORGE MASON: Jane. Connect me to the Palmer suite, Secret Service.
SENATOR PALMER: {ON PHONE WITH JACK} Jack I just got your message.
JACK BAUER: Senator I need to see you right away.
SENATOR PALMER: Your office said you might be coming here.
JACK BAUER: I am coming there.
SENATOR PALMER: Why?
JACK BAUER: I have a message from Victor Drazen.
SENATOR PALMER: Yeah, they also said that Drazen has your daughter and you could
be a threat. They added to my security. Secret service has been told not to let
you near me.
JACK BAUER: Senator they do have my daughter but I am not coming over there to
harm you in any way.
SENATOR PALMER: What does Drazen want you to do?
JACK BAUER: He wants to speak to you at 10:45. He's given me a scrambled phone.
It can't be traced.
SENATOR PALMER: What does he want to talk to me about?
JACK BAUER: Money. I'll explain everything as soon as I get there. Just tell you
people to let me through.
SENATOR PALMER: Drazen's people, who are holding your daughter hostage want me
dead. Your asking alot Jack.
JACK BAUER: Senator, they had my wife and daughter this morning and I manged to
save your life. I am not coming there to harm you in any way. You have my
word.
SENATOR PALMER: Don't worry about that.........I have something I want to tell
you Patty.
PATTY BROOKS: Yes.
SENATOR PALMER:{WAITS FOR A MOMENT} Your fired.........Pack up, get out.
Don't bother to ask me or anyone else on my staff for a reference. Prospective
employers won't like what I'll have to say.
PATTY BROOKS: I don't understand.
SENATOR PALMER: I know what your doing. Your working with my wife agaisnt
me.
PATTY BROOKS: Senator, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to decieve you like this. Your
wife insisted and I didn't know what to say.
SENATOR PALMER: NO Would of done it.
PATTY BROOKS: I know. I should have. Your wife can be very scary sometimes.
SENATOR PALMER: So can I. I want you out in 30 minutes.
TONY ALMEIDA: You got to take a look at this. These are the six people who have
accessed the detention facility archives. The first five where just doing
scheduled backups. Here's the sixth. {PHOTO OF MASON SHOWS UP ON THE
SCREEN}
NINA MEYERS: George?.........George is the mole?
TONY ALMEIDA: It's possible. He accessed that file four days ago. You have to
call Chappelle.
NINA MEYERS: No. You need to shut down his network access. You can't let
anything in or out.
SENATOR PALMER: Save your energy Sherry. No need to act surprised.......I fired
her.
SHERRY PALMER: You know what your problem is David? You think that everyone is
conspiring against you. When in fact, we are just trying to help you.
SENATOR PALMER: By putting another woman in my bed? Do you realize how sick that
is?
SHERRY PALMER: Come on. We chose a certain life. We are about to move into the
White House. That's right, we. You and I. All the issues, all the polotics and
all the hard work. That's going to help us get there.
{A AGENT KNOCKS ON THE DOOR}
SENATOR PALMER: What?
AGENT: Sir, Jack Bauer just arrived for you.
SENATOR PALMER: I'll be out in a moment. Sherry, we're not done here.
{DAVID WALKS OUT AND INTO THE LIVING ROOM}
SENATOR PALMER: Jack.
JACK BAUER: Senator.
SENATOR PALMER: Conviencing secret service to allow you to come up here and see
me was difficult enough.
JACK BAUER: All that matters is you need to talk to Victor Drazen when he calls.
Listen to his demands and cooperate.
SENATOR PALMER: How did he get your daughter? I thought she was protected?
JACK BAUER: I did to...........Sir he could call any minuet.
SENATOR PALMER: You said this was about money.
JACK BAUER: Yes. $200 million of his was frozen after he was abducted. He wants
it back. He says you have the clearance to get it back to him.
SENATOR PALMER: That's why Drazen sent you here? To get me to relese his
funds?
JACK BAUER: As soon as he has conformation of the transfer he's going to tell me
to take action on you.
SENATOR PALMER: To kill me?
JACK BAUER: Yes.........Of course I would never do you any harm sir you know
that. He has my daughter, I'm just trying to buy some time.
SENATOR PALMER: Jack, I don't have the authority to transfer those funds. Drazen
knows that.
JACK BAUER: What do you mean?
SENATOR PALMER: He knows our system. That money is gone.
{PHONE RINGS}
JACK BAUER: Senator please. Answer this phone.
SENATOR PALMER: Okay Jack, I'll tell him what he wants to
hear...................This is David Palmer.
VICTOR DRAZEN: Senator Palmer. It must be nice to be reunited with your friend
Jack Bauer. {PRESSES A BUTTON ON A DEVICE}
SENATOR PALMER: What do you want?.............Drazen?
{THE LIGHT ON THE PHONE TURNS RED AND WE LISTEN TO A LOUD HUMMING SOUND}
JACK BAUER: He knows he can't get the money...........SENATOR!!!!!!!!!
{JACK GRABS THE PHONE AND THROWS IT OUT THE WINDOW AS THE ROOM EXPLODES}
{NINA AND TONY CONTINUE TO INVESTAGATE ABOUT GEORGE.......TONY RESTORES HIS
NETWORK}
{GEORGE COMES DOWN THE STAIRS}
GEORGE MASON: EVERYBODY, EYES ON MONITORS.
T.V. REPORTER: Events are unfolding by the minuet in this tragic development. We
have just learned from the Palmer camp who has confirmed that senator David
Palmer has been killed in a explosion. This could be related to this mornings
assassination attempt but at this time no one has been arrested.
{VICTOR AND ANDRE WATCH THE REPORTER. ANDRE TURNS OFF THE T.V.}
ANDRE DRAZEN: We did it father.
{THEY HUG}
ANDRE DRAZEN: I'll take care of the girl then we can leave.
VICTOR DRAZEN: Do nothing until we find out for sure that Jack Bauer is
dead.
{VICTOR WALKS AWAY AS ANDRE DIALS JACK'S NUMBER}

_____CUT TO_________
INT. PALMER HOTEL
AGENT: Sir I have contacted Mike Novic. He is on his way.
JACK BAUER: Good.
AGENT: Agent Bauer, It's for you.
JACK BAUER: Thanks.............Bauer.
ANDRE DRAZEN: Your a very lucky man Mr.Bauer. I was calling to confirm your
death but I see you have survived.
JACK BAUER: Andre, I have an offer to make you. You have killed Senator Palmer.
I'm the last person on your list. I'll make you a trade. Me for my daughter.
ANDRE DRAZEN: Come to Port Of Los Angeles. Dock 11-A.
JACK BAUER: What kind of insurance do I have that you'll let her go when I get
there?
ANDRE DRAZEN: Sadly none. But we have decided that the sins of the father need
not be visited upon her.
JACK BAUER: Port Of Los Angeles dock 11-A. I'll be there in 30 minutes.
ANDRE DRAZEN: And Jack. If you bring your colleagues or invovle them in any way
we'll know. {HANGS UP}
KIM BAUER: Why are you doing this to us?
{ANDRE LOOKS OVER AT KIM FOR A MINUET THEN WALKS AWAY}
ANDRE DRAZEN: I had a sister once. She was full of life. Like you. She was a
photographer, took hundreds of pictures. I used to love looking at them. I can't
do that anymore..........You know how she died? Has anyone told
you?...................Your father killed her.
KIM BAUER: I don't beileve you.
ANDRE DRAZEN: Well he says it was an accident. When a man goes halfway around
the world to set off a bomb. He's responsible for any accidents that
result....Has your father ever talked about his work? Where he goes?
GEORGE MASON: I haven't been fully debriefed but I guess it makes sense as a
defensive strategy. Palmer's safe as long as the hitters think he's dead. Stay
at your stations and rebuild profiles.
KIM BAUER: It's kind of cold. Do you think I can have some coffee?
GUARD: Sure.
{KIM STANDS UP AND MAKES SOME NOISE WITH THE COFFEE CUP AS THE GUARD WALKS TO
HER AND KIM PICKS UP THE COFFEE POT AND THROWS IT INTO THE GUARDS FACE. KIM
TAKES OFF RUNNING}
{KIM RUNS AROUND OUTSIDE THE DOCKS AS ANDRE AND VICTOR RUN TO THE GUARD.}
{ANDRE IS SHOUTING IN SERBIAN TO HIS MEN TO FIND HER}
{SHE FINDS A HIDING SPOT FOR A SECOND THEN RUNS DOWN A BRIDGE. ANDRE AND VICTOR

ANDRE DRAZEN: DON'T DO IT KIM. YOU'LL DROWN.
{KIM JUMPS OFF THE BRIDGE AND INTO THE WATER. THEY LOST HER}
{JACK IS ON THE HIGHWAY ALMOST THERE}
{KIM POPS UP FROM THE WATER AND HIDES}
ANDRE DRAZEN: How are we going to do this without the girl?
VICTOR DRAZEN: Bauer has no choice but to trust us.
{ANDRE'S CELL RINGS}
ANDRE DRAZEN: Yes?
YELENA: It's Yelena.
ANDRE DRAZEN: Why are you calling?
YELENA: Palmer is not dead.
ANDRE DRAZEN: What?
YELENA: It was a trick to make you beileve to keep the girl alive.
ANDRE DRAZEN: Your sure about this?
YELENA: Yes I'm sure.
{YELENA IS REVEALED. IT'S NINA MEYERS}
{NINA HANGS UP WITH ANDRE AND WALKS TO TONY}
TONY ALMEIDA: There you are. We just got some new intel from Langly.
