Hour 2





Fade to the twenty-four classic opening with the clicks and circular "24" digital logo



Then fade to a montage of both clips from the previous hour and of the San Francisco skyline.



We then have Bill Turner's voice over those clips-"Somewhere, terrorists are targeting a pivotal sporting event. A baseball player is in trouble with the mob and the people who I work with maybe involved with both or perhaps not at all. I'm Police Inspector Bill Turner. Today is going to be the most difficult one I've ever experienced."



Turner-"Previously on 24"



We have a half screen shot of Turner leaving the bathroom. Gold letters appearing reading "Bill Turner" with smaller letters saying "Played by Ed Norton"



Shot of Polk-"Can you believe it. Not only do we got a black president but the Sox actually have a chance at winning the series in who knows how long.". Stops revealing the name "Alan Polk" with smaller letters saying "Played by Randy Quaid"



A full shot of Ted Bowman of him answering the phone. It reduces to a quarter shot. Gold letters under the shot say "Ted Bowman" with smaller letters saying "Played by Bruce Campbell"



Finally we have a shot of Leon handing a bag of money. The name under the screen just says "Leon" with smaller letters saying "Played by Jean Reno"



Fade to a new black screen with gold letters scrolling-With the voice of Bill Turner off screen,-"The following takes places between the hours of 1:00 AM and 2:00 AM on the day of the final game of the world series."



We start with a shot of Turner holding his cell phone. He's intrigued as to how this man knows his name. The clock on the bottom shows: 1:00:11,1:00:12,1:00:13



Turner-"Who is this?"



Cut to a shot of Leon assembling a hand gun. He's talking into the phone as he works.



Leon-"You may not know me, Inspector. But I know who you are."



Turner-"Look if this is some crank job. The call can be easily traced-"



Leon-"I deeply assure you Inspector that this is not a crank call. This concerns a very important matter that you can only prevent."



Cut back to a split screen of Turner talking and Leon working on his gun.



Turner-"Which is?"



Leon-"An attack on today's game. I believe it's game seven of the world series."



Turner doesn't believe what the caller is telling him but he plays along-"Is that so?"



Leon-"Don't be stupid, Inspector. This concerns thousands of lives. I believe you shouldn't be so passive about this."



Turner-"What do you want?"



Leon-"I want you to meet with me."



Turner-"Why?"



Leon-"To give you a name and someone who you can speak to. I've worked with this man before."



Turner-"Well see, I've got a problem here. See I've got a dead body and it's going to be odd if I leave the crime scene on some other business."



Leon-"I've already foreseen this. Have your partner . . . Polk do the work. He's trustworthy for now."



Turner-"What do you mean?"



Leon loads the gun and cocks it. "Just come to Stanyan and Lincoln way in twenty minutes."



Turner-"How will I see you?"



Leon-"You just will." He clicks off the cell phone



We return to a full screen of Turner. He walks over to his partner Polk whose chatting with a uniform.



Turner-"Can you take over for a little bit. I've got something to take care of."



Polk-"Sure just make sure you note that on the report. I don't want the Lieutenant go after our asses because you forgot put in the right numbers."



Turner-"Will, do" He walks over to the unmarked car. "You don't mind, do you?"



Polk-"Don't worry I've got it taken care off. Just go, okay?"



Turner nods and heads for the car. He gets in and drives away. This time without the siren or flashing red light.



Cut to clock tick/boom: 1:17:23-1:1:17:24-1:17:25

We now open with the shot of a man in his late 30's. He's wearing dark clothes and seems pretty alert despite the early hour. He's played by Anthony Lapaglia. He's walking away from a rental car counter. Following him we see him go outside and into in red Ford Taurus. He gets in and pulls out of the car lot. As he drives away, we see a plane pull into the nights sky and away from the airport.



We're now in the interior of the car. The man is driving when his phone rings.



Man-"Yeah"



Voice on phone-"You get there yet?"



Man-"Just got out of the airport."



Voice-"Took you that long?"



Man-"Well you know how security is?"



Voice-"At 1 in the morning?"



Man-"Hey, they can strike at any time."



Voice-"You know where you're going?"



Man-"Yeah"



Voice-"Make sure he listens. No screw ups. We got a lot of money riding on this thing."



Man-"I know how to deal with this. That's why I'm here and you're over there."



Voice-"Make sure to tell us when you're done."



Man-"I'll let you know in a while." He hangs up his phone and continues to drive



Now we pull outside to see the Taurus on the freeway passing a sign that says "Welcome to San Francisco"

We now are on Polk and he's looking at the scene where the body of the CTU agent was on the ground. When a uniform approaches him



Uniform-"Inspector, I have the address of one Daniel Parsons. He has a wife."



Polk-"Makes sense"



Uniform-"Should I send someone?"



Polk-"Nah, I'll do it. Where does she live?"



Uniform-"Not too far away. She's on Pacific"



Polk whistles in surprise- "Well well, looks this guy must've been a high rank or something. That area is only for the wealthy. Hell I got to commute from Daly City. That drive is a bitch in of it self. Anyway I'll go over there in a minute. Have the Medical Examiner contact me if they have anything."



Uniform-"Yes sir". He then walks away. Polk walks out of the bar



The clock appears on the bottom: 1:36:31,1:36:32,1:36:33



-24-



Cut to a shot of Turner's Crown Victoria pulling up at the street corner where he was told. He looks around and sees nothing. Then he hears a knock on the windshield. He looks over and sees Leon who gestures him to open the door. Turner goes over and opens the door.



Leon-"I see you made it on time."



Turner-"Lack of traffic"



Leon-"That won't be in the morning."



Turner-"You're right about that."



Leon-"Now please, drive"



Turner puts the car in gear and starts driving in the city. But we focus on Turner and Leon with occasional shots of the city streets at night.



Turner-"Tell me, who are you?"



Leon-"My name is Leon"



Turner-"Just that?"



Leon holds up a gun at Turner-"Now is not the time for questions. Please, we are in a very dangerous situation."



Turner looks at the gun and is scared by it. He tries to remain calm and not to agitate the man



Turner-"Please just put the gun away."



Leon looks into Turner's eyes for several seconds and then puts the gun away.



Leon-"Sorry, in my type of work you don't trust anyone."



Turner-"Tell what's going on."



Leon-"All I can tell you is that someone is planning on committing a very violent act later today."



Turner doesn't understand what he's getting at until it clicks in his mind-"The game today!"



Leon nods at Turner's correct assumption



Turner-"What's going to happen?"



Leon-"I don't know."



Turner-"Why not?"



Leon-"I've not been given that info. However there is someone I know. She's a contact and she can provide you with information." He checks his watch. We can be there in just ten minutes."



Suddenly the back window explodes into pieces. Turner and Leon dive down. More gunshots are heard as they tear apart the car. The car comes to a screeching halt in an intersection and is hit by a car coming in another direction. The Crown Victoria spins its battered body to a stop. We see no one appear from the vehicle for a minute. Then Turner appears with his gun out. He gets out of the car. He's unharmed with the exception of a large cut in his forehead. He's paranoid as to what's going on.



He looks over and notices Leon has been hit in the chest with a bullet in the chest and is quickly losing blood. Turner goes over and does what he can. A clock on the bottom of the screen: 1:56:51,1:56:52,1:56:53





Turner-"Leon!"



Leon looks at Turner. He knows that he will die. Leon produces a slip of paper and puts into Turner's hand. "Go there, before they get her." He then stares at Turner and then dies.



Sirens began to fill the air.

Cut to a man knocking on the front of an apartment door. There's a pause and the door opens. Revealing a woman in her late 20's early 30's. Let's sat she's played by Hillary Swank



Woman-"Yes?"



Shot of Polk holding up his badge-"Mrs. Parsons, I'm Inspector Polk. May I come in?"



Parsons-"Yes, please"



Polk walks in and Parsons closes the door. She's wearing a bathrobe and appears to be getting ready for bed.



Parsons-"What is it, Inspector?"



Polk prepares himself for something he's done many times before. It comes with the job of being a homicide cop.



Polk-"Mrs. Parsons, I'm afraid your husband is dead."



Parsons looks at Polk and her face instantly reacts and she begins to cry. Polk goes over and embraces her allowing her to cry on his shoulder.



Split the screen into three parts. One is of Polk and Parsons, another is that of a Taurus pulling into a parking structure. The last screen is that of Turner looking at the note in his hand wondering what he's gotten into.



Cut to clock with tick/boom 1:59:58-1:59:59-2:00:00
