Previously on 24...

*Tony Almeida* (Tony tells CTU agents about a threat to them that will take place today and tomorrow. After we see Milo Pressman being killed, he finds out that ex-CTU agents are also being murdered.)

*Nina Myers* (Nina stabs a CTU agent working as a bodyguard for Palmer. She enters the bulding and plants a bomb)

*Jack Bauer*: (Jack opens the door, and the guy at the door attempts to stab him. After calling the person Arthur, he doesn't know who he is. CTU agents arrive at his apartment to collect the man, but he explains to Kim and Kate that he has to go to CTU himself. At CTU, he starts to torture him.)

*President David Palmer*: (After waiting for the result, he loses the election. At that point, the building explodes...)

"The Following Takes Place Between 7.00 pm and 8.00 pm"

===

(Ambulances, Fire Trucks and Cop Cars enter the hotel where the election result was read out. David exits the debris with Dana Hilton, covered in dust.)

(Kim Bauer wakes up with a pain in her stomach. She cannot get up, but attempts to reach Jack's phone. She struggles to get up, but she picks up the phone, but she promptly collapses and drops it. She then pulls her mobile out of her pocket, switches it on and dials 911. The operator picks up)

Operator: "911 emergencies"

Kim: (Struggling for breath) "I just got shot in my dad's apartment..."

Operator: "Could you please tell me where you live.."

Kim: "I don't know.. this is my dad's place... I don't know the address..."

Operator: "Could you please keep the line open as we try and track you."

Kim: "Thank you.."

(Kim drops her mobile on the floor, still on. She starts to black out on the floor. Kate Warner shows no sign of movement.)

(The Sun sets over L.A. Jack and Arthur are in an interrogation room. Arthur is wired up to a polygraph machine.)

Jack: "You're name is Arthur Kempsfield. Is this right."

Arthur: "The name is familiar..."

(Jack looks at the ploygraph. It is stable.)

Jack: "Do you know if you are Arthur Kempsfield."

Arthur: "I do not know..."

(Jack looks at the polygraph, again, it is stable. Jack turns to Tony.)

Tony: "Do you really think this guy's lost his memory?"

Jack: "I sure hope he hasn't. He's the only shot we've got at bringing down these people."

(Michelle walks in. Tony turns around.)

Tony: "Can't it wait?"

Michelle: "It's important. We need you aswell Jack."

(Jack looks at Arthur and then a camera on the wall. He then leaves the room, with Tony and Michelle.)

Michelle: "We've just had reports about an explosion in New York. A building on 31st Street."

Tony: "Isn't that where the election results are being held?"

Jack: "Why aren't you running the moniters?"

Tony: "We had a problem with them this morning."

(Jack calls the whole of CTU to switch any working moniter to a news channel. An agent does so, and all agents watch reports on the NY Bombing. Tony turns to Jack.)

Tony: "You know, Jack, I coulda done that."

Jack: "Yeah, well you didn't did ya.."

Tony: "Jack, I..."

(Jack turns to Michelle)

Jack: "Do you know if President Palmer is okay?"

Michelle: "The report has alreay confirmed it."

Jack: "Whn did the bombing happen?"

Michelle: "About... twenty minutes ago..."

Jack: "Twenty minutes? Why weren't we informed then?"

Michelle: "We've only just got the report now."

(Jack turns to Tony)

Jack: "Have you disabled any of the CTU connection links since I resigned?"

Tony: "Only to upgrade. They are all in working order. We do checks every day at 9am now."

Jack: "Check them now. Since then, somebody has made the server run slower, making information lines unusable."

Michelle: "Wait, that would explain why Carl couldn't upload his report earlier."

Tony: "Do you think somebody has tampered with our moniters aswell?"

Jack: "It's possible that somebody does not want CTU to receive communication from the outside."

(Jack starts to leave when Tony states that no technician has been in CTU that day. Jack is angst, and replies...)

Jack: "We have a traitor on our hands."

Tony: "What? Again?"

Jack: "Somebody must have disabled the connection somehow, and it has to have been somebody within CTU, or access to CTU's connections."

Michelle: "Who though?"

Jack: "Who's your main technician now?"

(CUT TO: Nina Myers and Debris. A Man walks up to her.)

Man: "Everything went according to plan, I see."

Nina: "How many agents are down from the blast?"

Man: "If every one died, then thirteen."

Nina: "That makes eighteen altogether today."

Man: "I must thank you again for the work that you have done. We would not have such vital information about every CTU agent to date if it wasn't for you."

Nina: "If my cover had not have been blown the information would be up to date. Think of the hundreds of people that have been assigned to CTU in the past four years."

Man: "It is better than nothing. Tomorrow we will bomb the New York CTU building."

Nina: "Why wait till tomorrow? We were assigned to destroy this building at Midnight tonight- we are hours in front of schedule."

Man: "I am liking the way you think. I will re-arrange plans with my boss."

(We see Kim struggling for breath as Kate does not move. Ambulance men arrive at Jack's building and some people put Kim on a stretcher. David Palmer talks to the press and Jack and Tony walk back to the interrogation room. Zoom in on Jack and Tony.)

Tony: "Do you really think that there is another traitor in CTU?"

Jack: "If not CTU, then a government power higher than ours."

Tony: "Jack.. what I was saying earlier fter you were giving orders to other agents... I don't want to be an enemy or anything, and I don't want us to fall out again. But you gotta remember that you don't work for CTU anymore, and I run it now."

Jack: "Tony, say no more, I'm only here to find out why that guy stabbed me..."

(Tony and Jack enter the room, but Arthur has gone...)

Jack: "He's gone."

(Tony pulls out a walky talky and requests all exits to be secured- a prisoner is loose. Jack stares at the room camera and realises... somebody let Arthur go...)
