SCENE:\u00a0 Dingy warehouse in seedy neighborhood.\u00a0 Five dead terrorist – three shot, one head-butted, and one with a head bitten clean off – lie just to the left of the establishing shot.<\/p>\n
BAUER is frantically working on a nuclear weapon, whose digital clock is ominously ticking below 1:00 minute.\u00a0 He’s talking on a cell phone with one hand, using a pocket knife with the other.<\/p>\n
BAUER:\u00a0 I’ve got under one minute, or this thing’s gonna blow.<\/p>\n
BUCHANAN:\u00a0 Jack, the President called.\u00a0 He said to get the bomb defused.<\/p>\n
BAUER:\u00a0 I understand.<\/p>\n
BUCHANAN:\u00a0 No, Jack.\u00a0 He said to defuse it now<\/em>.<\/p>\n BAUER.\u00a0 Er, yeah.\u00a0 OK, I cut the red<\/em> wire.<\/p>\n MORRIS:\u00a0 OK, Jack.\u00a0 Now, wrap the wire from the “544C” socket around the neutral pole at least 34 times to create enough resistance…<\/p>\n BAUER: Dammit, <\/em>Morris, there’s no time!<\/p>\n CHLOE:\u00a0 Actually, Jack, if you hit the big green “reset” button, it’ll give you an entire ‘nother 24 hours.<\/p>\n BAUER: (Shakes head in disbelief).\u00a0 Say again!<\/p>\n CHLOE:\u00a0 The clock has a big green reset button.\u00a0 If it’s not going well press it once, and it’ll put 24 more hours on the clock.\u00a0 We can send a truck and a NEST team.\u00a0 It’ll be a piece of cake.<\/p>\n BAUER:\u00a0 Really?<\/p>\n CHLOE:\u00a0 Pinkie swear.<\/p>\n (BAUER presses button.\u00a0 Clock resets to “24:00:00”)<\/p>\n BAUER:\u00a0 Ow.\u00a0 Wow.\u00a0 Cool.<\/p>\n
