"The Following Takes Place Between 9.00 pm and 10.00 pm"
===
(Tony is still on the phone, without a responce)
Tony: "Agent Masters... Phil... can anybody hear me?"
(The shadowy figure in the UK CTU exits the room. Whilst Tony attempts to make contact, Michelle stands in the room, confused.)
Michelle: "What's happened?"
Tony: "Several of the CTU team in the UK have been infiltrated by a man pretending to be Agent Milo Pressman."
Michelle: "Isn't he the person who died earlier today?"
Tony: "The shooting in the mall? Exactly. We have to assume that these agents are dead, and that this threat is the most serious one we need to act upon. This is our high priority."
(Jack enters the room.)
Tony: "Jack. A number of British agents aren't responding to any contact we give them."
Jack: "Have you tried looking at their security footage"
Tony: "How do I do that..?"
Jack: "C'mon Tony.. You have been in this job for the past year or so. Open up your archives folder and search for UK backup. You know this, Tony..."
Tony: "I've never done this before.."
(Tony opens up said folder and sees a room full of dead people. Jack turns around to see Michelle Dessler, and remembers her importance.)
Jack: "Michelle. Can I have a word with you at the moment."
Tony: "Uh.. you're not authorised to hold meetings with my work force Jack, you don't work here."
Jack: "I can't have a chat with a collegue of mine?"
Tony: "How is she your collegue when you've never worked with her."
(Jack glares)
Tony: "I'll give you five minutes."
(CUT TO: St. Marks Hospital. Paramedics load Kim onto an operating table. The doctors discuss what has happened, and given an X-Ray of where the bullet is lodged- in her small intestine. The operation commences.)
(CUT TO: The recently bombed election building. David Palmer watches fire crew take out the last of the fire. Dana Hilton approches him.)
David: "Have you sorted out the press?"
Dana: "They've moved their interest to the bomb. I just stated that you had no comment on the result or on what happened."
David: "You said what..."
Dana: "Just that you denied that..."
David: "Don't you know what that will say about me? Tomorrow's headlines will be that I'm a bad loser at the result of the election...!
Dana: "It was at you're best interest, sir.."
David: "Never question me again, Sherry... Dana!..."
Dana: "It's okay sir..."
(Awkward silince)
David: "I'm sorry, Dana... just with what's happened today and... just.. whenever someone does something stupid..."
Dana: "Sir.. I'm alright. Don't worry about the result. Like you said a few hours ago, you've had a difficult term."
(CTU. Jack holds Dessler in a room. After she denies anything about access to Archive folders, she states that no computer in CTU is able to do that. Jack attempts to prove her wrong that he once did it when he worked there. For security purposes, this is no longer possible. Jack phones Paul at Archives.)
(Paul watches closely at Jack and Michelle talking to one another. He has no other moniter on. All his attention is onto their conversation. The phone rings.)
Paul: "Archives."
Jack: "Hey Paul. I've been informed that no computer in this section of CTU can access archive folders. Are you sure that is where the ISP number came from?"
Paul: "Jack- whoever deleted that folder did it from Michelle's computer. Or..."
Jack: "Or what."
Paul: "They could block the outgoing ISP number, to disguise it as Michelle's"
Jack: "Could you break into the firewall or decrypt who the real traitor is?"
Paul: "Sure, lemme just write this down."
(Paul gets out some paper and a pen. Jack explains what he needs to do, Paul agrees, but when Jack finishes and hangs up, Paul puts the paper in the bin.)
(St. Marks Hospital. A paramedic looks up at the clock. 9.51pm. He looks at Kim Bauer. Her surgery is almost over. Suddenly, a uniformed nurse approaches the paramedic. Her name is Joan.)
Joan: "Alan, we've got another patient arrived. Seems to have been in a car accident."
Alan: "But, I'm meant to be analysing this patient."
Joan: "She's got people on her, and her surgery's almost over. Wasn't it just a bullet in the gut?"
Alan: "Yeah- but the face is eerily familar.."
Joan: "What about the name... (looks up at a wallchart)... Kim Bauer. Sound familiar?"
Alan: "...Yeah. I really can't picture her anywhere though."
Joan: "Well, I'll just get another paramedic."
Alan: "No, I'm good.
(The two start walking)
Alan: "Do you know what his name is?"
Joan: "Well, as far as we can tell, the ID in the wallet is fake. But we've got a name tag in there. His first name's "Rick."
(We see that this 'Rick' is the same one who kdnapped Kim all those years ago...)
(CTU. Jack enters the archive room and can't find paul. He glances around all of the security camera's in the empty room. Suddenly, he notices that most of the Television Screens go blank. However, a few seconds later they reappear- all connected to one camera- the one in the archives room. The door behind him clicks shut. He is locked in. Immediately, Jack knows that Paul is a traitor within CTU. He picks up a phone to inform Tony, but it has been disconnected. He is lockerd without outside communication.)
Jack: "Paul... you son of a bitch..."
(Split Screens reveal Jack thumping at the door attempting to get out, Palmer sitting alone on a bench, Dana watching him, Tony and Michelle in his office, and Kim in Surgery.)
(Paul Sits in another room in CTU with acess to Jack's movements. A stranger tells him that he has done "Good work." This stranger is Ryan Chappelle...)
