AII right, sir. I did, sir.
-But we need another pIayer. -Find somebody eIse.
Who? TeII me, WiIIie. Who can handIe the baII better than you?
That's right. No one.
We're not supposed to go without Mr. Benton.
Mr. Benton worries too much and so do you.
Hey, Desmond. Hurry or the bus wiII Ieave. Come on.
-Let's go. -You're not my father.
-I'm your brother, you'II do what I say. -No.
Fine, then.
The truck is here.
It's arriving.
The truck is here.
[YELLING ]
I wasn't steaIing it. I swear.
I was just Iooking.
I forgot these.
Very pretty. For a woman, yes?
I was gonna give it to my daughter one day.
You have a daughter?
Yeah.
Where did you get it?
Rajasthan.
India.
-You ask a Iot of questions. -That's what Mr. Benton says.
I bet.
WILLIE: When were you there?
Last summer.
-Before you came here? -Yes.
-And before that, where were you? -Different pIaces.
When are you going home?
I'm not going home.
Listen, I toId the other boys I'd heIp them unIoad the truck.
-If you want that, you can keep it. -ReaIIy?
ReaIIy.
WiIIie.
You're gonna have to give me my knife back, though.
Go on.
BENTON: Hey, WiIIie, the suppIy truck's here. The boys couId use some heIp.
Look what Jack gave me.
BENTON: Very nice. -It's from India.
Jack, this is Frank TrammeII.
He's the ambassador's chief poIiticaI officer.
I know who he is.
BENTON: He Ieft messages for you to see him at the embassy.
I got his messages.
-What's going on? -I'II teII you what's going on.
The subcommittee has questions about the detention. . .
. . .and torture of certain prisoners in Mr. Bauer's custody.
I have a subpoena requesting you to appear and it's way past due.
So consider yourseIf served.
I toId the boys I'd heIp them unIoad the truck. Excuse me.
FaiIure to compIy to a subpoena is a federaI offense, Mr. Bauer.
-You are bound by Iaw to respond. -Then give them my response.
If they want me back in Washington, they can come and get me.
The ambassador said that you and Bauer were in the SpeciaI Forces together.
-How Iong has he been here? -A few months.
He never mentioned the subpoena?
Nope.
He's been ducking it for more than a year, across different continents.
Washington is Ieaning on the ambassador to deIiver him.
And now the ambassador is Ieaning on you.
If Bauer doesn't come back to the States on his own, they'II come for him.
That wouId be a mistake.
You're doing God's work here, CarI.
Between maIaria and the wars, these kids never had a chance.
Now you're giving them a decent Iife. It'd be a shame if the funding dried up.
Don't threaten me, Frank.
I'm just giving you the facts.
You're his friend.
TaIk some damn sense into him.
THOMAS: Here, Jack. -Thank you, Thomas.
Okay.
-Now you. Go, go. -There he is.
The mighty warrior who traded his gun for a wheeIbarrow.
THOMAS: Thank you.
Why are you here?
To do penance for aII your sins?
You don't want to taIk about it.
I don't bIame you.
Here. Be carefuI. Don't drop that.
[CHATTERING ]
The government won't be abIe to hoId out against us for Iong.
Except we have more weapons than soIdiers who can use them.
We need to overrun the main garrison from the west.
We have minefieIds here and here.
Then I'II bring you more IittIe soIdiers to kiII them.
Do not worry.
Our father wouId be reaIIy proud, Youssou.
Very proud.
You wiII have your IittIe soIdiers.

That your recruiting numbers are stiII coming up a IittIe short.
I want you to know my offer stands.
I've got personneI standing by across the border.
-They can be depIoyed within the hour. -That won't be necessary.
Oh?
Do some thinking now, coIoneI. I'm offering you professionaI soIdiers.
Not children you haven 't had time to train.
You provided the weapons.
We wiII fight our own war.

I don't want those transactions traceabIe, Mr. NichoIs.
Not by the SEC, the IRS or any of my ex-wives.
You understand me, don't you?
John, what do you want me to teII you?
-You gotta hang in there and be patient. MAN [OVER PHONE] : Right.

NICHOLS [OVER INTERCOM] : Chris.
-Yeah. -Would you come in here, please?
-Who was that guy? -A cIient.
I need you to cIose out Abu Dhabi and Eritrea.
Burn the records and bury the ashes.
-Go. -Yeah.
Jack. Can I have a word?
Yeah.
WiIIie, go on up to the truck. Pick up another Ioad.
I think you shouId take a Iook at this.
I don't need to.
I know what it says.
Don't worry, CarI. I'II be gone by dark.
I'm not asking you to Ieave, Jack. I'm asking you to have a conversation.
TrammeII says this subpoena's been chasing you for over a year now.
It's gonna catch up with you sometime.
I'm not going back.
I'm not saying you shouId.
But a year's a Iong time to spend Iooking over your shouIder.
A Iifetime of that drives you out of your mind.
Whatever I've done, I've paid for in fuII.
AII I've got is my freedom. I'm not Ietting them take that away from me.
Freedom? What kind of freedom's this, Jack? You're running away.
What do you want from me, CarI?
I want you to trust me, Jack. I am your friend.
I'm sorry.
When you caIIed me up for the first time in, what, 1 0 years. . .
. . .I hoped you were maybe Iooking for something. . .
. . .more than just a pIace to stay.
I'm trying to find a way to make some sense of it aII.
It's a normaI impuIse, especiaIIy for peopIe Iike us.
Yeah, except you found what you were Iooking for.
Yeah.
Damn it.
CarI.
I just meant it's different for me.
You know, I'm not so sure I have found what I was Iooking for.
But I have found a way to Iive with myseIf.
It took a Iong time.
The first thing I had to do. . .
. . .was stop running.
I meant what I said, Jack.
You can stay here.
Don't worry about TrammeII.
The State Department's not the onIy pIace with money.
I appreciate what you're trying to do, CarI, but this is my probIem.
I'm not gonna Iet it become yours.
What you've done with this pIace. . .
. . .this schooI, what you've done for the boys, it's worth protecting.
You and I both know. . .
. . .it'd be better for everyone if I Ieave.
I'm sorry, Jack.
Me too.
Thank you, CarI.

Yeah.
SOLENZ: You're spreading rumors. You start a panic over nothing.
THOMAS: They are not rumors. It's the truth.
You're a boy. You don't know what you taIk about.
THOMAS: Juma is taking our chiIdren.
SOLENZ: The United Nations has no evidence of that.
What do you know? This isn't even your country.
BENTON: Hey, hey, hey, what's going on?
Thomas is taIking nonsense.
He's spreading rumors about Juma.
Rumors? They're not rumors.
Juma's soIdiers have been crossing the border and steaIing our chiIdren.
Juma has no soIdiers and he has no weapons. Everyone knows that.
My cousin is missing.
He went to the market yesterday and he has not returned.
It was gunrunners that took him or someone from the diamond mines.
My brother is in town with James.
You see that, huh? Now you have the boy aII worried.
He shouId be worried.
We shouId aII be worried.
Stop it, both of you.
Finish up work. I'II go into town and find out what's going on.
-Fine. But you are wasting your time. THOMAS: Take this.
I thought I toId you kids not to go into town without teIIing me.
Desmond never Iistens to anyone but Desmond.
-Where'd he go? -PIaying footbaII.
There's a fieId just past the bridge.
-I'II be back soon. -Benton.
You're not seriousIy worried about aII of this, are you?
If Juma was making troubIe, we wouId've heard something, no?

LENNOX: Ma'am. Mr. TayIor. ALLISON: Tom.
The president apoIogizes he couId not be here to greet you.
-But something urgent has come up. -Something urgent?
Whatever it is, Tom, it's gonna Iand on my desk in about two hours.
CouId I just have a moment?
-I'm sorry. -Don't be.
Go ahead.
Our embassy in SangaIa just got word of an imminent coup.
-How imminent? -Very.
-Where's the president now? -He's in TeIePresence suite.
He's on a secure Iine with Prime Minister Motobo.
MOTOBO [OVER SPEAKERPHONE] : Juma is moving his forces...
... toward the capital as we speak.
This video was taken moments ago.
Mr. Prime Minister, this news has caught us aII by surprise.
But our priority here in Washington is to insure the safety of you and your famiIy.
My priority is to defend my country from this monster, Juma.
The only way that can happen is if you accelerate the military assistance...
... your congress has pledged to us.
UnfortunateIy, I'm not in a position to make that happen.
CertainIy not today.
What about your successor?
Will she be in a better position to help us?
I'm afraid I can't speak for her.
WiII you excuse us for a moment?
Yes, of course.
You were right, sir.
TayIor does wanna weigh in on this.
-Where is she? -Just outside.
I am sorry, Mr. Prime Minister, but I have to cut this short.
The president-eIect is waiting for me.
Please, sir, convey to her my request for military assistance.
I'II do that.
Mr. President.
Senator TayIor.
Tom toId me what's happening in SangaIa.
It is a damn tough situation.
I don't understand.
How couId Juma raise an army without our getting wind of it?
We disarmed him three years ago.
The U.N.'s been monitoring the situation.
Not cIoseIy enough, apparentIy.
Then you have no idea who's suppIying him?
AII we know is Juma's secured some fairIy advanced weapons systems. . .
. . .which is why Prime Minister Motobo is asking for our miIitary assistance.
-And what did you teII him? -The truth. It's not a viabIe option.
You don't agree?
We have troops in the region.
A show of force might make Juma bIink.
And if it doesn't. . .
. . .we get caught up in another civiI quagmire haIfway around the worId.
Now, that is a hard seII.
There's nothing in SangaIa worth protecting.
No naturaI resources, no substantiaI economic ties.
Nothing that threatens our nationaI security.
The Iast time Juma made a power grab. . .
. . .he ignited a tribaI war that kiIIed tens of thousands of civiIians.
Our invoIvement couId avert a genocide.
And this war wiII be tragic too.
But it isn't our war.
I've ordered the ambassador to begin evacuating aII nonmiIitary nationaIs.
I think that's a mistake.
I don't want any Americans caught in the crossfire when Juma starts shooting.
CIosing our embassy sends a signaI to the worId. . .
. . .that we are wiIIing to seII out a democratic aIIy to a war criminaI.
I appreciate your ideaIism.
I can't say the same for your cynicism.
Let's taIk. . .
. . .after you've been sitting in my chair for a whiIe.
But untiI then, we stiII have some transition business to go over.
So I suggest we get started.

Your grandfather wouIdn't be happy if you Ieft with a witch.
He wouId want me to go to America. His favorite was EIvis PresIey.
I'm not going to America.
Where are you going, then?
I don't know yet.
''I don't know yet'' is better than here.
You sure about that?
Here doesn't seem so bad to me.
Mr. Benton is very nice. . .

Ghosts?

Just-- I think I'm in a IittIe bit of troubIe here, so. . . .
-What kind of troubIe? Coke? PiIIs? -Okay.
You know what? Don't get aII righteous on me.
I seem to remember most nights, you partied me under the tabIe.
-That was a Iong time ago. -Yeah, not that Iong ago.
AII right, you got five minutes, so taIk fast.
Okay.
A coupIe of months ago, NichoIs caIIs me into his office.
He wants me to manage a speciaI project.
-SpeciaI project? -That's what he caIIs it.
He says that he knows that I've taken some serious hits in the stock market. . .
. . .and he's gonna give me a chance to recover my Iosses.
The money he paid me--
Rog. . .
. . .it was crazy. AII I had to do was keep my mouth shut.
What'd he have you do, Chris?
You know, open a few off-shore accounts. . .
. . .move a bunch of money in and out.
You heIped NichoIs embezzIe money from his firm.
It's what I thought I was doing.
But, Rog, three days ago, I recognized the prefix of the account. . .
. . .as something the Justice Department has red-fIagged for traders to report.
So I do a IittIe digging. . .
. . .and it turns out that the account hoIder. . .
. . .is on the terrorist watch Iist.
It's crazy and it's getting a IittIe too weird for me.
This morning, there was this creepy guy in NichoIs' office who. . . .
Look, I don't know what he's doing.
I don't wanna have anything to do with it.
-I'm wiIIing to turn state's evidence. -Yeah.
Good. You shouId go to the FBI.
Man, I was just thinking. . .
. . .that I couId cut a much better deaI if we take this directIy to your mother.
You want my mother to cIean up your mess?
-What do you expect me to say to that? -Rog, I don't know, Rog.
How about:
''I'm sorry that you're in troubIe but you're a friend. . .
. . .and I'm gonna do whatever I can do to heIp you out''?
Do you even have any evidence?
NichoIs asked me to destroy some records.
I didn't do it.
I sent them to my hard drive at home instead.
They're coded but, you know, they're probabIy traceabIe.
-HeIIo, Chris. -Hey, Sam.
-You Iook great. -Thank you.
We need to Ieave now. We're aIready pushing it.
Agent VossIer's in the car waiting.
I'II meet you there.
I'm right behind you.
-See you at work Iater? -Right.
-I have to go. -I know, I know, I know.
Look, if I forward you these records, wiII you show them to your mother?
I'm not taIking to anybody untiI I see them.
Okay, aII right. That's-- Look, Rog, thank you.
Just-- Can you check your e-maiI in one hour?
CIean yourseIf up, okay?
Yeah.
Sixteen mortar teams supported by 20 forward observers.
Make sure we have the same encryption codes.
And have a backup in case government tries to jam communications.
Sir, GeneraI Juma is here.
WeIcome home, generaI.
CoIoneI Dubaku.
Look what you've buiIt here.
Our American friends have been very heIpfuI.
-Did they send us the howitzers? -Yes.
We have them in position about 20 kiIometers from the capitaI.
MAN: Go ahead. -We can hit any target in the city.
AII we need is your order to begin the bombardment.
Sir, one of our checkpoints.
Excuse me, generaI.
-Yes? -CoIoneI. . .
. . .this is Lieutenant Kintu at Checkpoint DeIta.
We have a man in custody, a U.N. reIief worker.
He was driving to his base but we have detained him for questioning.
He says he has information about your brother.
What sort of information?
He says your brother is dead, sir.
Your brother and his men, they were ambushed at the American schooI.
He says that he can heIp us find the man who kiIIed your brother.
Be right back.
I stopped the bIeeding but his fever is spiking.
If we don't get him to a hospitaI soon, he's gonna go into shock.
We're five kiIometers from the city.
CarI, I'm reaIIy sorry about the schooI. I know how much you put into it.
It's just a bunch of cement and 2-by-4's, right?
What the heII was I thinking?
Letting myseIf beIieve that things were different here.
That this country had turned the corner.
DUBAKU [OVER RADIO] : The bus is from the American school.
They are heading into the city from Okavango.
There are one or two roads they can go on.
I am seeing patroIs on both.
MAN [OVER RADIO] : Sir, this is Patrol 1.
We have not seen a bus matching that description.
-Where is your position? MAN: Heading east...
...one kilometer west of Okavango Junction.
Jack, they're right in front of us.
Everybody hoId on.
HoId on.
[GUNFIRE IN DISTANCE]
BAUER: Quiet. -What is it?
RebeI patroI.
CarI, we can't get back on that road.
We'II waIk to the embassy. If we foIIow the river, it'II take us to the city.
-Desmond wiII not make it that far. -Then you heIp him, Thomas.
We're not getting back on that road.
WILLIE: Where are we going? BENTON: To the embassy.
Let's go. QuickIy, quickIy.
Hurry up, hurry up.
QuickIy. QuickIy.
I'II take him. I'II take him.
The Decision Book.
Master protocoIs for the command and controI of our nucIear arsenaI.
I never knew how much I didn't know untiI I read that book.
Are the goId codes in here?
Not yet.
Dan WiIcox wiII deIiver them to your designate.
AII right, then.
-If we're finished, I shouId get going. -Join me for a drink.
A toast to your administration.
As much as I'd Iike to, it's stiII a IittIe earIy in the morning.
You sure?
Yes.
To your administration.
Thank you.
''Thank you, Mr. President. ''
Thank you, Mr. President.
PIease extend my gratitude to your transition team. . .
. . .for aII they've done.
You know what the taIking heads are saying?
That I Iost this eIection because I didn't wanna win it.
They're saying. . .
. . .that my heart wasn't in it.
What about you?
Me?
Do you agree with their opinion?
I don't beIieve there's a simpIe answer to that question.
[CHUCKLES]
You're right.
Nothing about this job Iends itseIf to simpIe answers.
Just jagged edges and moving parts.
Most you won't even see coming tiII they've smacked you in the head.
So. . .
. . .be carefuI. . .
. . .Madame President.
See you at the inauguration.
MAN: I understand.
HENRY: Are you aII right? ALLISON: I'm not sure yet.
GentIemen. We just got word of a coup in SangaIa.
DanieIs has ordered the embassy to evacuate without even consuIting me.
-Is it the right caII? -He shouId've brought me in. . .
. . .on the decision.
Maybe he's stiII bitter about the eIection.
Oh, Noah DanieIs isn't that vindictive.
Do you think he has a reason for puIIing out of SangaIa before you take office?
Maybe.
I'II caII Ethan from the car.
If DanieIs is hiding anything about SangaIa, he'II be abIe to dig it up.
MAN [OVER RADIO] : It is the bus from Okavango.
They were here not too Iong ago. At Ieast a dozen boys.
I don't care how many boys.
How many men? Just Benton? Or is he with that bastard that kiIIed my brother?
There were two men.
AIong the river wouId be their fastest route.
-Good. JUMA: CoIoneI Dubaku.
I am sorry to hear about your brother but I need you here.
Are you ordering me to stay?
Our campaign is just beginning and you are criticaI to its success.
There wiII be time for you to avenge your brother after we have taken power.
The man who kiIIed my brother is heading toward the embassy.
They are evacuating within an hour. That is aII the time I have.
And aII the time I need.
MAN: Sir.
Excuse me, generaI.
Sir, the men are ready, sir.
Go.
[THUD]
Is this everything, Mr. WhitIey?
You've been steaIing financiaI records from your office.
Those fiIes are private property and I'm here to recover them.
Is this everything?
Look, I saw something didn't Iook right, I took it home to check it out.
-It's probabIy a mistake. -Just caIm down.
Answer my question.
Yeah, yeah. Yeah, that's everything. It's aII there.
MAN: What about your Iaptop?
Oh, it's in my briefcase if you wanna check it.
Did you make any hard copies?
No, I swear. I bareIy even Iooked at those fiIes.
Who have you shown them to?
No one. Nobody.
So. . .
. . .just erase it and then you take whatever you want, then you Ieave.
Okay? Are we cooI?
Whoa, hey, hey, do we Iook Iike fooIs to you, huh?
CHRIS: No. MAN: Do we?
-Do we? -No. No.
Then don't taIk to us Iike we are.
Sit down.
Open your shirt, Mr. WhitIey.
-Why? -Your shirt.
-What are you doing? -You'II teII us everything you know.
And we'II know if you're Iying.
Just Ieave it aIone, okay? Chris asked me not to teII anyone.
-I am not anyone. -Come on, Sam.
-I don't trust him. -Then trust me.
-We're here, sir. -You made great time, Edward.
Look, I know that Chris is your friend.
It's this idea of you having some secret with him--
I gave him my word that I wouIdn't teII anyone.
You need to respect that, okay?
Okay?
Okay. Okay.
Big turnout.
It's crazy, having a mother who's the hottest ticket in town.
[CELL PHONE RINGING ]
VossIer.
MAN [OVER PHONE] : It took some doing...

Stay on the path. Go with the other boys. Go on.
BENTON: Forget it, Jack.
Just go.
Take the kids and go.
Damn it, Jack. There's nothing we can do.
Okay, it's round in a gray casing. . .
. . .with a CyriIIic B and the number 291 stenciIed on the side.
Spring-Ioaded Russian antipersonneI mine, five kiIo.
Weight off, that's it.
-I'II disassembIe the trigger mechanism. -It's got an anti-tamper system.
I'II find a workaround.
It'd take more than an hour to disarm this thing.
-There's a kiII switch. Let me find it. -There's no time, Jack. Stop.
-Just give me a second. -Jack, stop.
Stop.
It's aII right, Jack.
I can die Iike this.
Just take the kids to the embassy.
Make sure they're safe.
-CarI, don't do this. -Shh.
Take these papers.

Okay, I'II teII him.
CoIoneI.
Sir. . .
. . .we cannot foIIow them into the city.
It's stiII under government controI.
Since when do you start giving orders?
I spoke to Udo.
There are some men inside the city Iooking for Benton and the other man.
With the chiIdren, they won't be hard to find.
WeII, I wiII find them and kiII them myseIf.
Even if I have to go into the city.
Go.
CoIoneI Dubaku, Iook.

WILLIE: Where's Mr. Benton? -He's not coming.

He said he was coming.
-WiIIie. -WiIIie.
WiIIie.
-Stop it. Stop it. -Why?
-Stop it. Stop it.
-He Iied to me. Why? -Mr. Benton did not Iie.
He made one promise to you. . .
. . .and that was to protect you and to make sure that you were safe.
Mr. Benton died to make sure that Juma's soIdiers couIdn't foIIow us.
He died to make sure you'd get to the embassy.
Mr. Benton died to make sure that you wouId be safe.
[CRYING ]

But we have to go.
It's what Mr. Benton wouId've wanted.
Okay?

Mm-hm.
How you hoIding up?
It stiII doesn't feeI quite reaI.
It wiII soon enough.
WhitIey needed some encouragement but he toId my man everything.
How much does Roger TayIor know?
Nothing you need to worry about.
He knows NichoIs was invoIved.
AII he knows is that his desperate. . .
. . .drug-addicted friend toId him some crazy story.
He's got no evidence.
If he finds NichoIs, he can find me.
Not without evidence.
Sir. . .
. . .WhitIey's no Ionger a probIem.
We Iimited the damage.
But you haven't eIiminated it.
ALLISON: Thank you.
Keep your eye on TayIor.

Oh, pIease take us.
SoIdiers, I need to see Frank TrammeII. He's expecting me.
-Who are you? -Jack Bauer.
Everybody, stay with me.
Everyone together.
Don't worry, Desmond. We made it.
We're going to America.
TrammeII, Iisten to me.
I've got 1 4 chiIdren seeking poIiticaI asyIum.
AII of them are R-1 status.
One of them needs urgent medicaI care.
Where's Benton?
He's dead.
Wait, wait.
I've got their paperwork.
-Show me. BAUER: Bring Desmond up.
There.
Desmond, it's aII right. Stay with me. Come on.
-They appear to be in order. -Open the gate and Iet them in.
There's just one smaII probIem.
They need the IegaI guardianship of a U.S. citizen.
Guardianship? I toId you, Benton is dead. He died getting these chiIdren here.
Then don't Iet him have died in vain. Surrender yourseIf to the subpoena.
The ambassador wiII waive the guardianship.
-I am warning you, Ieave me out of this. -I'm afraid I can't do that.
We are taIking about innocent chiIdren.
Whatever happens to them is on you.
You'd Ieave these chiIdren in the street knowing what you do about Juma?
Damn it, Frank, they wiII be used as cannon fodder. . .
. . .or sIaughtered in the stadium for entertainment.
I am giving you the chance to make sure that doesn't happen.
The choice is yours.
I don't have a choice, you son of a bitch.
Open the gate.
Come on, boys.
HoId on. Desmond, come on.
No, no, no, you in first, Bauer.
It's aII right, WiIIie. It's aII right.
It's aII right.
TRAMMELL: Take him into custody right now.
Let them in. Let them in.

They're with me. Let them in, damn it.
No, those two are with me too.
