KIM glares at DEBORAH
KIM
Who are you, Sarah?
Or Deborah..
Whatever your name is,
what do these thugs want?
Why would they take Angela?!
DEB sobs and cries, shaking, visibly freaking out
KATE glances at KIM, steps to DEB
KATE
It's OK, Deb..
I know you are going through
some tough times right now..
But, if you tell me what it is—
DEB looks at KATE, stiffening some stubbornly
DEB
You don't know ANYTHING, Kate!
You would never understand!
KATE frowns, but still continues to talk calmly
KATE
That may not be true, Deb.
I've been through some pretty
trying times myself recently.
We all have our bad days, you know.
KIM lashes out, unable to keep control
KIM
But Angela is just a BABY!
She's got nothing to do with this!
Why would they take her? Why?
And, why were you screaming about
her being 'your baby?'
DEB
Because.. Kim..
I.. I'm Angela's mother!
KIM gasps, gapes at DEB
DEB
I was in a bad place a few years
back.. I was in a LOT of bad places
back then! Carlos took me away from
the worst of the worst, and gave me
a roof over my head, and all the
attention.. all the 'love' I thought
I needed. Mostly in the form of
drugs and sex.
There was a bust, Carlos went down for a few years. That's when I met Chase, for real.. I never knew
him in middle school, Kim.. I
dropped out when I was 15! Chase gave me a break, got me some help..
KATE
That's where I met her, Kim.
I was a grief counselor for awhile,
I had a degree in Psychology and was
looking for something above and
beyond the family business after
college..
I thought you were doing OK, Deb?
I thought when you called me this
morning, it was just a friendly
catch-up call..
DEB frowns, pouts
DEB
I know, and I'm sorry Kate..
I didn't know what else to do!
When I found out that Carlos was
asking around about me, and Chase
really had moved on, I just..
I just wanted to get out of town,
never look back, you know?
DEB
But, I had to see my girl first,
and.. well.. I was going to hit
you up for money, Kate..
That's why I called you to lunch,
and that's why I came here, Kim..
And, that's the truth!
KATE, KIM exchange worried glances
KIM
OK, OK.. But, what does that have
to do with this Carlos guy kidnapping Angela?
SOUND OF CELL PHONE RINGING
KIM, KATE look to DEB
DEB answers her CELL PHONE
DEB
Carlos?
BOX CUT: DEB, KIM, KATE vs CARLOS
CARLOS
Miss me NOW, Sweets?
Wanna talk trade now?
Or ya still playin' stupid, stupid?
DEB
Chico.. please!
Carlos, I want..
I need you—
KIM cries out from near-by
KIM
DON'T YOU HURT MY BABY!
KIM grips the TEDDY BEAR tightly, ripping an ARM off
CARLOS
Mmmmm, still hangin' with the
white bread, huh, Deb?
Get some green, and my stuff,
and meet me across the tracks..
You know the place..
DEB
OK, how much?
And how long?
CARLOS
Well, seein' as how those folks are
rolling in it, and have prob'ly
already brought Johnny Law into it,
making me a kidnapper—
DEB
No, Chico.. it's not like that!
I would never turn you in, Carlos!
I just.. We just want Angela back,
safe and sound, that's all!
CARLOS
You got 20 minutes!
Or I'll send Li'l Angi
back to you in pieces!
You know I won't go down again,
not for simple kidnapping!
Twenty Gs in 20 minutes..
Just another good day for my best girl, huh, baby?
KIM fusses with the FUZZ and the TEDDY BEAR,
DEB notices KIM'S ACTIONS and panics
DEB
Uh, OK.. see you then..
DEB disconnects, drops the PHONE and leaps to KIM
DEB
What are you doing!
Stop that!
DEB grabs the TEDDY BEAR away from KIM,
KIM holds on, pulling a FISTFUL OF FUZZ from the guts
of the TEDDY BEAR
NOTE a FLASH OF SILVER, a COMPACT DISC hidden in
the FUZZ
KIM, KATE glare at DEB sternly, anger building
KATE
More lies, Deb?
What is going on?
DEB shrinks, looks away, clutching the BATTERED BEAR
herself
KIM cleans the FUZZ from the CD DISC
KIM
What is this?!
What's on this disc?
Tell me what this disc is!!
DEB looks genuinely beaten, and afraid
DEB
There's no time..
Carlos wants money..
He thinks the police are
on to him already!
He wants $20,000 and the disc
or he'll kill Angela!
He's crazy! He's already done time!
He always said he won't go back for
another few years.. next time he
goes down, it will be for life!
KIM looks to KATE once more
KIM
Kate, I can't.. I don't..
I don't have that kind of money..
DEB looks from KIM to KATE as well
KATE scowls, fidgets, pauses
DEB
Look, forget it!
Let's just call the cops!
It's my fault, my responsibility!
It will be my third strike,
so I'll go directly to jail..
KATE
NO! OK! Let me make a phone call!
My father should be able to make
some arrangements..
KIM hands KATE her CELL PHONE, KATE dials

Kate? Honey, are you alright?
You sound stressed.
Is everything alright?
KATE
I'm fine, Daddy.
I'm with Kim Bauer, and..
..a friend. SHE'S the one
in trouble.
I need to ask a favor.
BOB
Sure, sure, honey.
Anything.. what do you need?
KATE
Twenty Thousand Dollars..
I don't have a lot of time..
Twenty minutes, it's life and death,
Dad! Or I wouldn't be asking.
Trust me, please Daddy!
This is THAT important!
BOB raises EYEBROWS, gapes in surprise
BOB
Well, uhmm.. OK.
Let me make a few calls..
KATE
Thank you, Dad.

survivors of this horrible crash.
At this time, there appears to be
no movement from the wreckage..
No, no.. I'm not seeing any sign of

the victim of a drive-by assault from at least two SUV-type vehicles..
CUT TO STOCK FOOTAGE of PALMER, speaking at some event, as NEWS REPORT continues
NEWS REPORTER
President Palmer's term in office
has been plagued by terrorist tension and dissension in the ranks
of his staff dating back to the Primaries when he was chosen as the Democratic nominee for the office
nearly 6 years ago..
STOCK FOOTAGE OF ASSASSINATION ATTEMPT at FOUNDRY (from DAY 1)
REPORTER
Palmer's stance on many issues has
drawn fire from all sides of the political game field, from the left and the right. His sense of honor and fairness in the face of such disparity, has made him a target of militant radicals to top-ranking financiers and bureaucrats in Washington and abroad, leading to repeated attempts on his life..
STOCK FOOTAGE from HOTEL (DAY 1) after EXPLOSION in
PRESIDENTIAL SUITE
FOOTAGE OF PALMER succumbing to BIO-AGENT ON PALM
(END DAY 2)
REPORTER
Key issues Palmer has dealt with have ranged from his support of harsher criminal penalties for domestic violence offenders and rapists, as well as other radical ideals concerning the management of foreign policy regarding imports and exports, tariffs, taxes and campaign finance reform, and the abolition of bio-genetic engineering and experimentation.. A favorite recent 'pet cause' of Palmer's has been the trial of famed bio-geneticist Zephram DELPY...

ZEPHRAM DELPY, PROTESTS and RALLYS against GENETIC

REPORTER
It is widely believed that the Palmer camp's unwavering refusal to condone or support Delpi's research led to the dissolution of Delpi's Geminitrix Pharmaceutical Corporation, and to Delpi's arrest, and imprisonment.

Again, no official word on President
David Palmer's condition, or the condition of anyone of the President's staff who were traveling

What we do know is that a freak plane crash earlier at LAX led Air Force One to be diverted to Whiteman Airfield, before this horrendous attack took place..
As the storm clouds roll in, and the weather worsens, I'm certainly hoping for a bright spot of news regarding the fate of President David Palmer..

Chase, I've got more intel on Harley Cooper, the techie who left his signature on those pieces of the device recovered from the LAX plane crash..
He's one of ours, Chase, or, at least he wanted to be..
CHASE
What do you mean? He was a government agent?
BOX CUT: CHASE in HELICOPTER vs MILO, CTU OPS-COMM
MILO
Not exactly. Harley A Cooper, age 29, graduate from Cal-Tech, Class of 2000, Masters in Computer Technology and Micro-biology. No photos or personal data anywhere on file..
he must have blanked his own data.. believe me, this guy has those skills, and the skills to hide the fact that he has those skills..
He did his thesis on the theories of nanotechnology, and the likelihood of creating 'living, breathing AI'—
artificial intelligence contained within living breathing organisms..
bizarre stuff! Genius, really!
Not unlike myself..
MILO
He was courted by the big 3 software and computer mega-corporations, but he set his sites on life in the intelligence community, and didn't want to climb the corporate ladder or work the private sector to get there.. He applied for work directly for CIA, NSA and CTU, but was denied at every turn, as a security risk..
CHASE
So, you're saying this Cooper is the
type to hold a grudge, and to plot against the intelligence community that kept him at bay?
Where is he now?
MILO
Unknown. He took a few odd-jobs
to make ends meet, cable-guy, tele-comm operator, and was ultimately hired on at a bio-research firm outside LA, as a computer and life sciences technician.. Geminitrix Laboratories, out of Santa Clarita. That whole company went belly-up when it's founder and CEO was busted by a Presidential task force, for..

KATE
What? What about a simple bank
transfer, Daddy? Stock options
or other transferables assets?
It's only 20,000 dollars!
You set aside ten times that for Marie's defense when we were still hopeful—
BOB
That was completely different, Kate,
and you know it! Marie is my baby girl, and she was, and still is, in a very large mess, of which I feel at least partially responsible..
This situation you are involved in, or, rather, that Kim Bauer has involved you in, is nothing but a slick con, blackmail..
I won't be party to blackmail, Kate.
KATE
But, Daddy.. What about the baby?

A moment later, JACK holds the SHOTGUN, trained on TONY!
MANDY shouts out at JACK
MANDY
Not yet! We need him alive!
JACK glances down the HALL, to MANDY..
.. SHRUGS, then raises the SHOTGUN, and BUTT-STROKES TONY behind his EAR
TONY collapses in a heap, to the FLOOR
MICHELLE cries out again
MANDY thumps the PISTOL against MICHELLE'S TEMPLE
MICHELLE stands tall, defiant, realizing something..
MICHELLE
Do it! You won't get anything from me, and this might just be your last
opportunity to finish this off..
MANDY smirks slightly, corroborating MICHELLE'S realization
MANDY
As I said, CTU hostages could
prove valuable..
MANDY swings the PISTOL from MICHELLE'S TEMPLE, gracefully, graciously
MICHELLE sighs and relaxes her stance a bit
MANDY continues to swing her arm and aim away from MICHELLE, turning the PISTOL to MARIA
MANDY
But, we don't need her!
MICHELLE
NO!
MANDY pulls the trigger twice
MARIA falls, dead
MANDY scoops BABY MIGUEL from MARIA'S FALLING ARMS
MANDY
Now then.. Would you like me to
continue executing innocents?
Or can we come to an understanding?
MICHELLE glances to MARIA'S corpse, the to MIGUEL in
MANDY'S ARMS, and finally, to TONY, who appears
equally beaten, defeated..
MICHELLE surrenders again

DAVIES

Repeat, we have a Rogue!
Suspect is Jack Bauer!
Bauer was witnessed executing
Tactical Team in Secure Holding!
All Tactical Agents, converge on
Secure Corridor! Contain and
capture Jack Bauer!
DAVIES slips into BULLET-PROOF VEST, and
CTU FLAK JACKET, pulling AR-15 ASSAULT RIFLE from
WEAPONS HOLD on WALL OPPOSITE COMPUTER BAY
CHLOE stops working, looks to DIRECTOR DAVIES
CHLOE
Sir, I don't think it is
appropriate for the Mission
Commander to make himself a
target, especially to a rogue agent.. doubly so, since the rogue is Jack Bauer and, well.. Jack just doesn't think too much of you, Sir..
DAVIES shoots CHLOE a side-ways glance, turns and EXITS TAC-COMM VAN
DAVIES
O'Brien, just get those cams back
up, and spot those targets for us!

man-handled, bound and gagged, gets focus
NOTE ANOTHER FIGURE sitting, facing DAVID
MAN'S VOICE
Hello, David..
DAVID'S LIPS CURL, he GAPES at MAN across the ROOM
MAN
I hope your trip wasn't
too uncomfortable..
Good mercenaries are so hard
to buy..
REVERSE ANGLE, to BEHIND PALMER
REVEAL.. CARL WEBB! (PALMER'S GOON from DAY 1)
DAVID
CARL!? I.. I don't..
CARL
What, David?
You don't believe it?
'Oh, how could you, Carl?'
Spare me your righteous
indignation, 'Mister President,'
please!!
I WARNED YOU something like this was
likely to happen, if you persisted
in messing with the wrong people!
We tried, repeatedly to get you
thinking straight, using your
children and your wife to get to
you.. But, no! You had to take the
moral high-ground, EVERY TIME!
Even went to the extreme trouble of
arranging for your brother to become
involved with the wife of one of
your biggest campaign supporters and
financial contributors, Alan Millikin. When Julia Millikin shot your wife, then killed herself, that SHOULD HAVE ruined you, David.
Now, it's strictly personal..
It's come to this, David, the
last stand. After today, nothing
will ever be the same in the Palmer
Presidency! Today, we take control!
Today, everything comes full circle.
DAVID shakes his head and scowls, disappointed
DAVID
What are you talking about, Carl?
My term is in its final months..
I'm not running again..
It DOES end here, it's Over, Carl!
CARL shakes his head mirroring DAVID shaking his
CARL
Everything changes, David..
Everything changes..
DAVID looks at CARL, serious, curious
