"RIGHT NOW, TERRORISTS ARE PLOTTING TO ASSASSINATE A PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE, MY WIFE AND DAUGHTER ARE IN DANGER, AND PEOPLE THAT I WORK WITH, MAY BE INVOLVED IN BOTH, I'M FEDERAL AGENT JACK BAUER, AND TODAY IS GOING TO BE THE LONGEST DAY OF MY LIFE."

The following takes place between 2 PM and 3 PM, on the day of the California Presidential Primary.

Palmer: I need to see Jack NOW.

Tony: I need to call Chapelle.

Chapelle: Stall him.

Tony does a little dance.

Palmer: Enough of this. (pushes him aside) Why did you want me killed? Is it because I sent you on a mission to kill a genocidal maniac and you were the only one to return?

Jack: I didn't mean it that way. I've been spending all day trying to help you while helping my family.

Teri: Oh my God, I'm pregnant.

Kim: You should tell dad.

Teri: Maybe later.

Alexis: They're planning on leaving California today.

Andre: (drinking coffee) You know it was a good idea to get rid of Gaines, he spent the last twelve hours wasting valuable time. And we (sipping) have gotten it together.

Jack: I killed Victor Drazen's wife and daughter, oops, that must be why they're after them as well.

Palmer: We need to work together.

Jack: I think we should contact Robert Ellis, he was behind the scenes with operation Nightfall.

Ellis: Hello Jack, let me get that information for you from the lap top that appeared out of nowhere.

Nina: So tell us about your kidnapping.

Teri: You were the other woman weren't you.

Nina: Um, well.

Teri: Don't go there.

Nina: Oh yeah, well, talk to the hand.

Kim: Rick, you need to turn yourself in.

Rick: No I'll be arrested.

Kim: No $h!t you'll be arrested, now you need to accept responsibility for your actions and stop being a...

Rick: Pu$$y I know.

Ellis: One file was removed from the system deliberately, I think it was. (guy comes in and chokes him.) Urggggh.

Jack: Ellis, please hang up if you're going to do that.
