09x05 - Day 9: 3:00 p.m. – 4:00 p.m.

[bunniefuu]

Previously on 24 You don't know what Bauer did to Audrey.

I stood by her for three years, and I brought her back.

As long as she lives, she'll never hear the name "Jack Bauer.

" Something's taking control of my drone! Get to cover now! Sir, move! move! No! No! Bauer's here.

He sh*t two protestors and forced his way inside the embassy, and he got to Tanner.

Don't be afraid.

My name is Jack Bauer.

The technology that was used to control our drone is gonna be used in a massive t*rror1st att*ck against civilians later today.

The only way that I can stop that att*ck from happening is from the data from your flight key.

Bauer has barricaded himself inside the communications room at the American Embassy.

I've got hostages! Stay back! Close the door now! Who's taking hostages? Jack Bauer.

Mr.

President, a hacker by the name of Derek Yates created an override device which can take control of as many as ten U.

S.

drones.

Now I believe that the device is in the hands of Margot Al-Harazi, a known t*rror1st.

Last night, I woke up from a nightmare where I k*lled all these people.

He says he can't go through with it.

You will pilot the drones.

I will not, no matter what you do to me.

I believe you.

Her left hand.

No! No! Do it! Those Marines are gonna come through that door, and they're gonna k*ll you.

You can give me the flight key, and I can finish the upload for you and get it out of here.

Why the hell should I trust you? Because I really do believe you.

Do not fire! I have Bauer in my custody! This is a CIA matter now.

You had no right to interfere with this operation.

This embassy is under my jurisdiction, not the CIA's.

If I hadn't stepped in, Bauer would be dead.

Well, he should be.

Son of a bitch sh*t two of my men.

And he managed not to wound either of them.

He is not trying to hurt anyone.

He's trying to stop an att*ck.

Save that for your superiors, Agent Morgan, because this is going up the chain, and you might as well start clearing out your desk.

Yeah, well, it's not gonna be the first time today.

Sir, Bauer's clean.

The flight key isn't on him.

You stay right here.

Where is it? Bauer, you took it from the evidence pouch.

You told the president you were trying to download it.

Tell me where it is.

You know where he put it? No.

It must have got lost during your little battle charge.

Get her out of here! I know the way.

It's Bauer's w*apon.

O'Brian, this is Agent Morgan.

Do you copy? Yes.

I heard everything you said to Jack.

Is he okay? Yeah, but he's in custody.

He's with the Marines right now.

Well, at least he's alive.

Listen, I have the flight key.

What do you need me to do to get you the rest of this data? Get to a computer with a 4G network, I'll walk you through the rest.

Okay, copy that.

I'll call you when I'm ready.

I can't believe you're in one piece.

What the hell happened in there? I managed to stop them from k*lling Bauer.

No more drones! No more drones! No more drones! No more drones! No more drones! No more drones! You still think Bauer did all this to stop a t*rror1st att*ck? Yes.

And if Margot Al-Harazi really has the technology to steal ten U.

S.

drones, then we have to move fast, or a lot of people are going to die.

Assuming you're right, what are we going to do about it? Nobody believes this is happening.

That's why we have to find proof that Tanner's drone was h*jacked.

Using this.

Tanner's flight key? Tell me you didn't steal it.

Bauer gave it to me.

He wasn't able to finish uploading it to O'Brian before the Marines came in.

- Chloe O'Brian? - Yes.

He's using her to analyze the flight key data.

This is crazy.

Well, things are about to get a lot crazier if we don't stop this att*ck, so let's move.

Okay, O'Brian, I'm at a computer.

Okay, insert the flight key into the USB port.

It's done.

Go ahead.

The encryption program will automatically restore the link and resume the upload.

Okay, it's uploading again.

Two minutes before we get it all.

How long after that before you find proof that the drone was h*jacked? I don't know for sure that we will get it, but if we do, will you be able to get it to the right people? Yeah, don't worry about that.

Just get me what I need to convince people that this att*ck is going to happen, and I'll do the rest.

I know you're in pain, and I know you're confused.

But the one thing I don't want you to do is blame yourself.

This was not your fault.

It was mine.

If I'd known what your husband was planning, I would have acted sooner And this wouldn't have been necessary.

Forgive me.

How is she? She'll recover, no thanks to you.

A mother should never have to see her daughter go through something like that.

Just please don't hurt her again.

I'll do whatever you want.

I know you will.

Where are we? So far, I've set up data-links with four of the drones.

Once all ten are listening, we'll transmit the override code.

When will they be ours? Five minutes.

If there is any kind of redemption for you, Naveed, it begins now.

We're more than halfway through this flight key data.

I still don't see anything suspicious, Chloe.

Well, look harder.

Jack's headed back to jail because of you.

Yes, I'm aware of that.

- You don't need to keep reminding me.

- Yes, I do.

I'm thinking every day for the rest of your life.

Go back.

Go back.

Stop.

There.

Well done, Yates.

- What? - You don't see it? If I saw it, I wouldn't have said "What?" What he's done is, he's split the override code into these discreet segments here, and he's embedded them in the drone's transponder signal.

Almost impossible to spot Unless you're me.

There's your override code.

Agent Morgan? - Go ahead.

- We've got the override code.

This proves that Tanner's drone was h*jacked.

Are you sure? Yes, I'm sure.

I'm making the screen grabs now.

I'm highlighting them so any decent programmer will be able to understand what he's looking at.

- Okay, forward them to my phone.

- On it.

They get something? We're about to find out.

Reed.

- Jordan, it's me.

- Are you all right? Yeah.

Put Navarro on.

You both need to see this.

Sir, it's Kate.

Kate, where are you? I'm on my way back with Erik.

I just forwarded some screen grabs to Jordan's station.

- Screen grabs of what? - Data off of Tanner's flight key - from his drone.

- Got 'em.

Okay, tell me what you see.

Looks like an override code.

What is that? What are we talking - about here? - Steve, this is proof that Margot Al-Harazi commandeered Tanner's drone and used it to k*ll those soldiers.

Whoa, whoa, slow down.

Are you sure? Yes, which means there's going to be another att*ck.

Steve, you have got to alert the president.

Hold on.

Listen to me.

I am putting my ass on the line.

You can't have any doubts about this.

I am.

I'm sure.

Tanner's drone was hacked.

Mariana, get me President Heller.

Yes, sir.

According to Department of Defense Records It's confirmed, sir.

The embassy is now secure, and the hostages are safe.

And you're sure Jack's okay? Yes.

He's been taken into custody.

Boudreau.

This is Agent Navarro.

I need to speak to the president.

It concerns Jack Bauer.

What's going on? I'd prefer to tell the president directly.

It's urgent.

Mr.

President, Agent Navarro on the line.

He says it's urgent.

Put him on your speaker.

You're on with the president.

Go ahead, Navarro.

Mr.

President, one of my field operatives, Kate Morgan, has just recovered evidence that corroborates what Jack Bauer told you moments ago.

Say that again.

Sir, it's best if you hear it from her.

Kate? Mr.

President, the drone att*ck this morning was in fact a t*rror1st strike orchestrated by Margot Al-Harazi.

She's in possession of a device that can override our drone fleet's control and command systems, and she intends on using it again to launch a series of further att*cks.

How do you How do you know this? Data recovered from Tanner's flight key.

Our data analyst has reviewed the evidence and believes it to be genuine.

I stand by his assessment.

With all respect, we'll need to make our own assessment.

Mr.

President, Jack Bauer was telling the truth.

We need to take immediate action or a lot of people are going to die.

Ground the drones, General.

All of 'em, worldwide.

Execute.

Stage 4 UAV recall.

Code Alpha, Echo, Charlie.

They're altering course.

Someone knows what we're doing.

Transmit the override.

But we haven't completed all the links.

You won't get all ten drones.

Didn't you hear what I said? Don't test my patience, Naveed.

They're responding, sir.

Good.

Mr.

President, with our drone fleet on the ground Not now, General.

Let's do one thing at a time.

Yeah? General? EUCOM Actual.

Update.

Are you retransmitting? One of the drones from Carrier Air Wing Seven is not responding, sir.

There's another one.

And another one.

What's going on, General? Talk to me.

General? They're doing everything they can, Mr.

President.

Six of the drones are no longer responding.

We've lost them, sir.

Sir, the missing drones are RQ-29 Vanguards.

They're a first strike w*apon, used to take out air defenses.

Just tell me how much damage they can do.

They each carry a payload of six laser-guided missiles, most of which could take out half a city block.

If used on a public space, office blocks, schools Casualties could run into the tens of thousands.

And if a nuclear power facility is targeted that number increases tenfold.

Do we have any idea where the drones are headed? Based on the last vectors, the majority appear to be headed here.

Toward London.

They could begin entering British airspace within an hour.

Can't we sh**t them down - before they get here? - The Vanguards are equipped with the latest in stealth technology, the most advanced protective system ever developed.

They cannot be tracked by radar and they have no infrared signature.

So what you're telling me is that we've created an aircraft that can't be detected, - even by us.

- We're throwing everything we've got at them.

Fighter groups equipped with AWACS support are already in the air, AEGIS ships are being vectored to the area.

If necessary, we'll fall back on visual confirmation, but since we're talking Damn it.

I want to talk to Bauer.

Let's find out what else he knows about all of this.

He's already on his way.

I assumed you'd want to talk to him.

He'll be here any minute.

Good.

I argued against Bauer.

I I feel responsible.

Not now, Mark.

We're both operating from the same set of facts.

What we have to do is we have to warn the British of what they're facing.

I'll set up a meeting with the prime minister.

Keep it as small a circle as possible.

Yeah.

Excuse me, sir.

Audrey.

You were right.

I I wasn't arguing the facts.

I I let my personal feelings about Bauer cloud my judgment.

And I let your father down.

Mark, I I know, in some ways, you You were still trying to protect me.

You can't blame yourself for what happened.

My father needs you, Mark.

Now, more than ever.

I'm, I I've got to go set up this meeting.

I'm sorry.

We believe these drones were h*jacked by Margot Al-Harazi and that she is somewhere inside this country, probably working with her son and her daughter.

We need to find these people and fast.

So go back into your sources, no matter how cold, correlate with foreign intel and interagency data grids.

Briefing packets will be in your inboxes shortly.

Get up to speed.

Welcome back.

I'm gonna start re-interviewing our London assets.

I know it's a long sh*t, but We need to talk.

What's going on? Kate, um I have to take you off the roster.

- Come on.

- Captain Cordero with the embassy marine detachment he filed a complaint about your actions during the standoff.

It got back to division, who couldn't understand why an agent who had already been transferred stateside was still in the field.

- Well, I hope you explained it to them.

- I tried, believe me.

I argued that your involvement had already mitigated the current thr*at.

- Well, let me call someone at division - You'd be wasting your breath.

It's over.

You need to go back into your office and fill out an after action report.

Kate, you proved what you needed - to prove.

- What did I need to prove? I know that this was about Adam.

About you somehow trying to find a way to make up for what your husband did against this country.

Feel good about what you accomplished today.

Kate.

I'm sorry.

You're going to get through this.

I promise.

- Sir.

- What is it? You need to see this.

This was just posted anonymously on the interagency server.

It's also popping up on jihadist Web sites.

Two years ago, Put it up A m*ssile fired from a U.

S.

drone destroyed a meeting hall in Ghundi Kala.

The U.

S.

claimed they were targeting my husband, who was part of the legitimate struggle against the occupying force, but who they called a t*rror1st.

What the U.

S.

government failed to report was that 23 people were k*lled, including six innocent children.

I know I was spared for a purpose.

I demand justice from the man responsible for this slaughter.

President James Heller.

Unlike my enemies, I care for the lives of innocents, but unless President Heller surrenders himself to me in three hours at a place of my choosing, thousands of people in London will die in his stead.

That drone att*ck she's talking about I want everything you have on it.

Yes, sir.

thousands of people in London will die in his stead.

Are we gonna stick around with these things on the way? No, we're leaving, but not because of the drones.

Look, Bauer's in custody.

We've done everything you've asked us to do.

I need to know will you allow us to leave? Pack it up.

There might be more we can do.

Chloe, it's time to go.

- People are gonna die.

- That's not our fight.

That's not what we do.

It's time to go.

Now.

Why? Why? We've been in contact with Bauer, we've been in contact with the CIA.

Everything's compromised.

Have you forgotten the government is still after us? Those people who did what they did to you in the black site.

Do you remember that? I remember.

Now, look, I know what I did to Bauer was wrong.

I was protecting us here, everything we've built.

This is six years.

It's important.

We're not going to lose it.

This is the DoD footage of the drone strike that k*lled Margot Al-Harazi's husband.

We believe that this is Margot Al-Harazi crawling away from the wreckage.

God knows how she survived.

There were children there.

So she was telling the truth.

Despite her claims, the majority of the people k*lled were members of a radical sect led by her husband.

Well, why wasn't I told that there were civilian casualties? We were in the middle of a fight to secure funding for the drone program.

We needed to focus on the achieved objective, which was k*lling her husband.

So you covered it up? - Even from me? - I thought that the burden of specifics would distract you from the goal at hand.

So you didn't think that you could trust me with the truth, that if I knew that we had k*lled civilians somehow I wouldn't lobby as hard as you thought.

I was protecting you.

That's why you hired me.

"No m*llitary action is purely surgical.

" "And when the fight begins, collateral damage is always a factor," "but our U.

S.

drone program lets us hit our enemies with the fewest civilian casualties.

" Those are your words, Mr.

President.

That's what you believe.

And until I hear otherwise, I'm going to do everything I can to further that policy.

Dad, maybe Mark made the right call.

- Let's not forget who the enemy is.

- I know who the enemy is.

We've just given our enemy a moral victory.

A moral victory? Margot Al-Harazi does not think for one second that I'm gonna give myself up.

When that deadline comes around in three hours and she starts bombing civilians, she's going to be able to blame it on me.

And half the world is going to agree with her.

Sir, they're bringing Mr.

Bauer now.

Thank you.

We're fine.

Give us the room.

I'm gonna get right to the point, Jack.

We've confirmed that Margot Al-Harazi has six U.

S.

drones under her control.

We believe they're headed for London.

So I was right.

She just made a video in which she said she would forgo the att*cks if I would surrender to her within three hours.

Is there anything that you can tell me that will help us catch her? There is a man, an underground arms dealer.

He's done business with Al-Harazi for years.

She trusts him.

Even now, I still think he can contact her.

Give us his name and we'll pick him up.

Sir, this man has done time in some of the worst prisons in the world.

Because he didn't talk.

Even if you captured him alive, you wouldn't be able to break him in time to stop these att*cks from happening.

The best way for us to get the information you need is for me to reestablish contact with him and try and acquire it by stealth.

You want me to put you back in the field? Until she's captured, yes.

That's a big ask, Jack, even under the circumstances.

The Russians are still crying for your head.

They find out that we have you and then we let you go, I'll have a larger crisis than I have now.

Mr.

President, I give you my word that I will surrender myself to the authorities as soon as the thr*at has been neutralized.

I can't do it, Jack.

Just give us the guy's name and his location, and our guys will go pick him up.

I can't.

I'm sorry, sir.

I'm not gonna let you blow the only lead that we've got because you're worried about what the Russians will do.

You want to capture Margot Al-Harazi, you're gonna have to do it my way.

You've been in exile for four years, Jack.

Haven't you learned anything? Mr.

President, I hope you consider my request.

While you still have time.

Sir, I was asked to let you know that the prime minister is on his way.

Think about it, Jack.

Are we still on schedule? The first drone will reach London in 14 minutes.

Good.

I want to see Simone.

Why? I just want to be with her, Margot.

I'm her husband and I love her.

Please.

We have a little time.

Ian can monitor the flight paths.

It's all right.

Go.

Hey.

Let me have a look.

You need to get to a doctor.

I never thought my mother would go this far.

The video that your mother sent out I made sure it was traceable.

And I've hidden evidence in our room that will prove what I did.

Under the floorboards.

When the authorities arrive, I will claim that you've been opposed to this att*ck from the start and that you've been held here against your will.

Remember that, okay? I love you, Simone.

I promise all right? I promise I will get you through this, okay? Gear up.

What's going on? - A possible hit on the Al-Harazi tape.

- Any update? The back-trace program was being bounced from proxy to proxy, but it suddenly spat out an IP address.

I don't know if I'm really that good or that lucky, but I'll take it.

Okay.

There it is.

Looks like a large estate.

Ritter, finish prepping the team.

We're leaving here in three.

- We're leaving? - Yeah, I'm going with.

I'm running point.

You have a problem with that? No, sir.

Good.

I'll notify the president we have a lead.

Let's go, people.

It's okay, Tom.

You shouldn't be here.

I just I just wanted to tell you I just I wanted to tell you that we have a lead on Al-Harazi's location, and And there's a An operation already in progress.

That's good news.

I don't even know where to begin.

Me neither.

You're You're married.

Are you happy? Is he good to you? I know that I should have defended you more when I heard - all those things - Audrey, no.

Stop.

Everything they said I Is true.

It was complicated, but I k*lled those people.

I'm sorry.

I'm so sorry.

You should go.

You need to go.

Audrey, you need to go.

You need to go now.

Now.

Thank you for coming, Alastair.

Well, first of all, I just want to assure you we take these Al-Harazi tapes very seriously.

- That's good to know.

- The first question we have to answer, of course, is whether or not she can actually carry out these threats.

She can.

That's what I wanted to talk to you about.

with six Vanguard att*ck drones operating over the North Atlantic.

We now believe that they're under the control of Margot Al-Harazi, who intends to use them against targets in London.

I don't understand, Mr.

President.

How is this possible? We're in the dark of how she pulled it off.

We're still trying to sort that out.

You asked for my support for the drone base in Diego Garcia.

I gave you that support, at the cost of serious political capital.

- I know that.

- And this is the news you bring me? That those drones are in the hands of a t*rror1st? And that British citizens are going to die? We pray that's not going to happen.

And how are you going to stop it? We think we've located Al-Harazi.

Our local station chief, Agent Navarro, is personally leading a raid on where we think she's hiding out.

We're setting up a feed so that we can monitor the operation as it unfolds.

Your E.

T.

A.

is eight minutes.

Copy that.

You have satellite yet? Coming up now.

You should be leading this mission, not Navarro.

He's gonna take the credit when you're the one who figured out what was going on.

It's not right.

Give me a second.

Agent Morgan? Have you seen the Al-Harazi tape? Of course.

Everyone's seen it.

It's all over the Internet.

Are you any closer to finding Margot? That's why I'm calling.

A copy of the tape was deposited onto our interagency server.

And our data analyst was able backtrace it to an IP address.

He was? You should give him a raise.

Well, something about it just seems too easy.

Yeah, I agree.

She spends her whole life dedicated to planning that att*ck, and then, makes a dumb mistake like this? Look, we already have a team on the way, but I was hoping that you could take a look at the tape.

I'd need to see the original.

That means access to your network.

Well, don't you already have access? We're good, but we're not that good.

I can tell you how to open a socket.

Are you there? Okay, walk me through it.

They're not coming, Naveed.

I I don't know what you're talking about.

You're a terrible liar, Naveed.

Ian detected what you did to the video.

You switched off one of the security buffers so they could find us.

Simone didn't have anything to do with this, Margot.

Don't hurt her, please.

Simone will never pay for your sins again.

You still need me to pilot the drones.

Ian's a quick learner.

He's been watching you.

He thinks he can take over.

We'll soon find out.

Take him out of here.

The Americans should reach the other house in about five minutes.

No one gets out of there alive.

I'll be ready for them.

What are you doing? What are you doing? We're leaving.

I spoke with Agent Morgan.

I'm going to help her with the Al-Harazi tape.

Chloe, it was one thing to help Bauer.

We had no choice.

I'm not joining the CIA, but I am gonna help her, so, I'm not going anywhere.

Chloe? Come on.

Listen, I have to do this.

Adrian! She wants to stay.

She stays.

It's none of your business, is it? I know many people like you.

You act like you are one thing, but you're not.

Take your comrades and your computers and go.

I can't believe you're doing this.

I have to do this.

I don't want you to go.

Please stay and help me.

I love you, Chloe.

All right, we're on site.

Copy.

You're clear to proceed.

All right, B Team, advance to target.

Two minutes until we're in f*ring range.

Clear.

Proceeding upstairs.

Give me a sec.

Go ahead.

Margot's tape had a missing security buffer.

We know.

We were able to trace the IP to an address.

We have a team there right now.

No, the IP address is wrong.

Someone inserted a redirect.

Your team's headed into a trap.

- Are you sure? - Yes, I'm sure.

I'm staring at the code right now.

Steve, it's a set-up.

You need to get the team - out of there right now.

- What? Say again? The IP address that Jordan found was put there on purpose.

- How do you know that? - Doesn't matter right now.

Steve, your team is in danger.

Get out of there right now! This is Navarro.

Abort the operation.

I repeat, abort the operation.

What's going on? Why are they pulling out? We're in position.

Take them.

Chandler's squad Where the hell are they? Steve? Steve? Steve, do you copy? Erik? Steve?! Ian has proved himself, Naveed.

I think you know what that means.

Please, Margot, don't do this.

Margot.

I treated you like a son.

Trusted you with my daughter.

Put my faith in you.

I couldn't do it, Margot.

I couldn't m*rder all those people.

m*rder? You have no idea.

You didn't watch the person you love burn to death.

It doesn't justify any of this, Margot.

Please, Margot.

Margot, don't Don't k*ll me.

Please.

Margot, please.

If you love Simone, you have to know that she wouldn't want you to do this.

Ask her.

Simone? Simone?! Simone?! I think you have your answer.
