Hour Three



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 day I've ever experienced."





Have a full shot of Turner on the phone with a voice over of Leon saying-"You may not know me, Inspector. But I know who you are." The screen freezes and gold letters reveal "Bill Turner" with smaller letters saying "Played by Ed Norton"



Shot of Polk holding up his badge-"Mrs. Parsons, I'm Inspector Polk. May I come in?". The screen freezes and gold letters appear below. "Alan Polk" with smaller letters saying "Played by Randy Quaid



Then have the last scene that of assault on Turner and Leon. The car is his by gunfire and is then rammed by another car. Turner gets out and finds Leon dead. Close with Turner looking at a piece of paper.



Fade to a new black screen with letters scrolling. "The following takes place between 2:00 AM and 3:00 AM on the day of the final game of the world series."





Start with a shot of several emergency vehicles with their lights and sirens screaming. Then we see Turner looking out and watching as the police, fire fighters and paramedics come rushing towards him. He goes into the middle of the street and holds his badge high in the air. He's suddenly reminded of L.A. Confidential. The clock appears on the bottom: 2:00:12, 2:00:13, 2:00:14

Cut to Polk still embracing Mrs. Parsons. She's still crying and Polk wonders if she's gonna make it through the night.



Polk-"Ma'am are you going to be okay?"



Parsons sniffles and nods



Polk-"You sure you don't need to talk to anyone right now? A relative, neighbor?

Parsons-"No, Greg's parents died a few years back. He doesn't have any family." She pauses as she tries to grapple with her emotions. "I'm the only one he had."



Polk-"Did your husband ever talk about his work?"



Parsons-"Not really, he seemed to like it."



Polk-"Were you familiar with his work?"



Parsons-"Kind of. I knew he worked for some government agency that was trying to prevent terrorism. Greg always liked serving his country. He went to the Air Force Academy for college."



Polk-"Really what did he do in the service?"



Parsons-"Doing what he was doing at his job. Protecting this country."

We return with a shot of the man from the red Taurus. He's walking down a hallway and he stops at a certain door. He checks to make sure no one is around and he then knocks softly on the door. He waits for a little bit.



We now have both a in front of view and behind of the hotel door. Someone gets up and opens the door. Just as the door opens a tiny bit. The man pulls the door out of the guests hand. In the light we see the guest is Ted Bowman. It appears he hasn't been sleeping well.



Man-"Why Teddy, how are things going?"



Bowman-"Adam"



Delcadino-"That's right you're old friend, Adam Delcadino"



Bowman-"Get in here!"



Delcadino walks inside the hotel room and Bowman closes the door. Now it's a regular shot of the hotel room.



Delcadino-"Been getting any sleep there Teddy?"



Bowman-"Not really, jet lag and all."



Delcadino-"Happens to all of us. By the way you know why I'm here."

Bowman sighs



Delcadino-"I've been having difficulty in getting payment for those debts you've been running up. Apparently the ponies and college boys haven't been working in your favor."



Bowman-"Could you keep quiet about that?"



Delcadino-"Believe me Teddy, I will keep this quiet. After all if everyone finds about this. Not only do you make Pete Rose, look like a saint. But then me and my associates are out of a very, very lucrative business. That's why I need to do what we are asking you to do."



Bowman knows what the man is talking about and he tries to restrain his anger about it. "You want me to throw the game."



Delcadino-"That's right, otherwise if you don't and the Sox win. You're wife is going to face the repercussions. Oh and one other thing Teddy. Your wife. She's pregnant." He then opens the door and watches as what he says sink into Bowman. "We'll be in touch." He closes the door behind him.



Bowman drops to the bed and tires to think about what happened. Only to break into tears.



A clock appears on the bottom of the screen: 2:25:34, 2:25:35, 2:25:36

Turner is sitting inside a police cruiser. He has a bandage over part of his forehead. So far no one has asked what's going on. He knows that won't last much longer. He open the paper and looks at it. It's an address and he needs to get there quickly.



He notices an unmarked Chevy Impala by a fire truck.



Turner-"Whose car is this?"



A young detective named Wyatt approaches him."It's mine and you are...?"



Turner-"Inspector Turner, homicide. I need to borrow this vehicle."



Wyatt-"Under whose authority?"



Turner-"Don't pull that please. I need to this to pursue an investigation. An investigation that involves the death of a passenger under my watch. An investigation that also a dead fed. Now excuse me if we don't need to whip it out and see who's been gifted!"



Wyatt is taken aback. He holds up a pair of keys. "They're yours."



Turner takes the keys-"Thank you. Where do I bring this back?"



Wyatt-"Bring it back to Pacific District."



Turner-"Thank you"



He walks over and gets in the car. He pulls out of the accident scene and drives to the address.



Cut to clock with tick/boom: 2:36:56-2:36:57-2:36:58

We're back in Parsons' apartment. Mrs. Parsons is sitting on her appearing to mourning her loss. Polk is standing there providing sympathy when his pager begins to chirp. He checks the pager and recognizes the number



Polk-"Ma'am I need to get going. If you need any help." Gives her a business card. "Contact these numbers."



Parsons-"Thank you Inspector"



Polk-"You take care of yourself."



Parsons-"I will"



Polk and Parsons walk over to the door. We once again have the two cameras. One showing Polk entering the hallway, the other showing him exiting the apartment. Parsons looks out and watches Polk shuffle down the hall. She then closes the door and waits for a moment.



She then removes her bathrobe revealing clothes that have another purpose to them. We follow her into a room down the small hall. She goes inside and turns on a light. It's the bedroom. And on the bed is a body. It's the body of the real Mrs. Parsons!



Just as the woman is about to get back to work taking care of the body. The phone rings. She puts on a pair of gloves before answering.



Woman-"Yes?"



Voice-"Have you taken care of the problem?"



Woman-"Yes"



Voice-"And Polk?"



Woman-"Wasn't too difficult. Just used some soap opera on him. Has our man arrived at the target?"



Voice-"Not yet"



Woman-"Why?"



Voice-"There was a delay. Fortunately, he'll be there shortly."



Woman-"Shall we proceed?"



Voice-"Yes, continue with the plan until further notice." The phone is hung up and the woman carefully puts in back on the base. She goes back to work.

Turner is driving down a darkened residential street. The clock reveals that it's 2:47:21, 2:47:22, 2:47:23



He slowly pulls up to a tiny one story house. He checks the address and it matches to what is on the paper. He gets out of the car and pulls out his gun. He's not taking any chances. He slowly approaches the home. He finds the door is opened and he carefully walks inside.

It's dark and silent. He finds a light switch and he turns it on. He finds nothing. The house is bare. He walks through all the rooms when he notices a table in the kitchen. On the table is a box with a piece of paper on top of it. It reads "For Inspector Turner" in neat handwriting. Turner carefully opens the box.

Inside there is a cell phone, a map, a list of times and locations, a phone number and a ticket to the final game of the world series. There is another message that says "Dial this number with the phone in the box now."



Turner puts his gun away and picks up the new phone. He then dials the number on the paper. The phone rings several times. Turner thinks he hears something and picks up his gun. He checks and still finds nothing. Then the phone is answered.



Voice on phone- "CTU, Bauer"



Turner-"Hello"
