FADE FROM BLACK TO PICTURE OF DIGITAL CLOCK SET TO “10:00<\/a>“.<\/p>\n

CUT TO INTERIOR SHOT OF CTU LOS ANGELES.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

DIRECTOR BUCHANAN walks into command post.\u00a0 CHLOE, MORRIS, and AL-FAWAZ sit at computer consoles.<\/p>\n

BUCHANAN:\u00a0 OK, everyone.\u00a0 Status Report.<\/p>\n

CHLOE:\u00a0 I still can’t find Jack.<\/p>\n

BUCHANAN:\u00a0 You need to find him.<\/p>\n

CHLOE (Fuming and scowling, with cute flip of hair):\u00a0 It’s not that easy!<\/p>\n

BUCHANAN:\u00a0 You need to find him now<\/em>.<\/p>\n

CHLOE:\u00a0 (Rolls eyes) Well, since you put it that <\/em>way…<\/p>\n

AL-FAWAZ:\u00a0 Director Buchanan, I have a hit on Bauer.\u00a0 He’s coming in the front door<\/em> with two unidentified gunmen!<\/p>\n

BUCHANAN:\u00a0 Set up a perimeter!<\/p>\n

MORRIS (Sotto voce): Like that ever bloody works…<\/p>\n

(DOOR OPENS:\u00a0 BAUER, IN HANDCUFFS, IS ESCORTED IN BY TWO UNIFORMED CALIFORNIA HIGHWAY PATROLMEN.\u00a0 HE IS WEARING RUMPLED CLOTHES, IS UNSHAVEN, AND WALKS UNSTEADILY)<\/p>\n

CHiP #1:\u00a0 I’m looking for a Bill Buchanan?<\/p>\n

BUCHANAN: I am Bill Buchanan.<\/p>\n

CHiP #1:\u00a0 Hi, I’m officer Poncharelli, and I’ve been instructed to bring your Mr. Bauer here.\u00a0 He was arrested for DUI about twelve hours ago, and a Mister Trump just posted his bail.\u00a0<\/p>\n

BUCHANAN:\u00a0 Take him back to medical!<\/p>\n

(TWO REDSHIRTS<\/strike> UNIFORMED CTU SECURITY OFFICERS STEP TOWARD BAUER, THEN FALL OVER DEAD)<\/p>\n

BUCHANAN:\u00a0 Er…what happened to them<\/em>?<\/p>\n

CHLOE: Budget cuts due to the writers’ strike.\u00a0 They were gonna kack anyway…<\/p>\n

BAUER:\u00a0 Listen.\u00a0 We don’t have time.<\/p>\n

MORRIS (sotto voce <\/em>to CHLOE):\u00a0 We never<\/em> bloody have time!<\/p>\n

CHLOE (sotto voce <\/em>to MORRIS): Shut up!<\/em><\/p>\n

BUCHANAN:\u00a0 What do you mean, Jack?<\/p>\n

BAUER:\u00a0 Dammit!<\/em>\u00a0 There’s a terrorist plot aimed at Los Angeles, and…<\/p>\n

BUCHANAN:\u00a0 Right.\u00a0 Our usual premise.<\/p>\n

BAUER: Listen to me!<\/em>\u00a0 We only have ten hours<\/a> <\/em>to solve it this time!<\/p>\n

(AL-FAWAZ surreptitiously takes out cell phone, makes call).<\/p>\n

BUCHANAN:\u00a0 That’s madness!\u00a0 Division told us…<\/p>\n

BAUER: Forget what division told you! <\/em>We have to get going, and we have to do it now<\/em>!<\/p>\n

CHLOE:\u00a0 Mr. Buchanan, I just cross-referenced the writers’ guild demands with satellite scheduling uploads from Fox! Jack is right!<\/em><\/p>\n

MORRIS:\u00a0 Jack? Mr. Buchanan?\u00a0 Terrorist websites all over the Middle East just posted reports that CTU only has ten hours to solve the next attack!<\/p>\n

BAUER:\u00a0 Dammit!\u00a0 <\/em><\/p>\n

CHLOE:\u00a0 Jack, there’s gotta be a mole in CTU.<\/p>\n

BUCHANAN:\u00a0 We need to find the mole.<\/p>\n

CHLOE: I’m on it.<\/p>\n

BUCHANAN:\u00a0 We need to find the mole now<\/em>!<\/p>\n

(AL-FAWAZ surreptitiously slips cell phone into BAUER’s pocket)<\/p>\n

CHLOE (rolling eyes):\u00a0 Yes, Bill.\u00a0 (Types furiously).\u00a0 I’ll reset the vectors of the GIS satellites in triplicate to sync with the frumious bandersnatch…<\/p>\n

BAUER:\u00a0 Bill, this is serious.\u00a0 The terrorists have gained control of the TV schedule!\u00a0\u00a0 <\/em>They can control the timing of our investigation!\u00a0 We have to get back in control<\/em>!<\/p>\n

CHLOE (with an air of foreboding):\u00a0 Jack?\u00a0<\/p>\n

BAUER:\u00a0 What?<\/p>\n

CHLOE:\u00a0 The satellite traces the leak to…you<\/em>!<\/p>\n

BAUER:\u00a0 That’s impossible!<\/p>\n

(AL-FAWAZ tiptoes to door of CTU as BAUER frantically searches pockets, finds cell phone)<\/p>\n

BAUER:\u00a0 Dammit<\/em>!<\/p>\n

BUCHANAN:\u00a0 I’m going to have to notify Division, Jack.<\/p>\n

BAUER:\u00a0 Bill! Listen<\/em>!<\/p>\n

BUCHANAN:\u00a0 Stand down, <\/em>Jack.<\/p>\n

(TONY ALMEIDA walks into shot from right, wearing swim trunks and a “Cabo Wabo” T-shirt, carrying a Big Gulp from 7\/11).<\/p>\n

ALMEIDA:\u00a0 Hi, guys.<\/p>\n

(ALL STOP).<\/p>\n

BAUER:\u00a0 Tony?<\/p>\n

ALMEIDA (slurps the drink):\u00a0 Hey, Jack.<\/p>\n

BAUER:\u00a0 But you died on Day Five.<\/p>\n

ALMEIDA:\u00a0 Whatever<\/em>.<\/p>\n

(AL-FAWAZ opens door)<\/p>\n

BUCHANAN:\u00a0 OK.\u00a0 Jack, Tony, Chloe – you need to drop everything and work on finding those extra ten hours…<\/p>\n

BAUER:\u00a0 Dammit, <\/em>Bill, there’s no time!<\/em><\/p>\n

(TEN OR FIFTEEN TURBANNED MEN WEARING OBVIOUS SUICIDE VESTS TIPTOE PAST IN THE BACKGROUND)<\/p>\n

CHLOE:\u00a0 Duh, that’s the problem<\/em>.<\/p>\n

(MARCHING BAND WALKS IN DOOR THAT AL-FAWAZ HAS OPENED, PLAYING ARABIC-SOUNDING MUSIC.\u00a0 AL-QUAEDA BANNERS WAVE, CHEERLEADERS IN BURQUAS<\/em> SKIP DEMURELY AROUND A FLOAT DECORATED TO LOOK LIKE A SUICIDE VEST)<\/p>\n

BAUER:\u00a0 We have to find the mole<\/em>!<\/p>\n

(LARGE TANK FESTOONED WITH ARABIC BANNERS DRIVES IN BACKGROUND BEHIND BAUER, ALMEIDA, BUCHANAN, MORRIS AND CHLOE, COVERED IN TURBANNED MEN FIRING AK47s INTO THE AIR)<\/p>\n

BUCHANAN:\u00a0 Oh, and Jack?\u00a0 We need to send you to Washington.\u00a0 Right now.<\/p>\n

BAUER:\u00a0 Dammit.<\/em><\/p>\n
