Épisode 9h00 - 10h00 S02E02 - 24 Saison 2

QG "Norhwest Regional Operations Complex" Le président Palmer et sa conseillère Lynne parlent des eventuelles tactiques à adopter au sujet de la bombe. Faut-il ou non en informer et laisser donc faire Quantico et ses 600 tacticiens...

Le président insiste bien qu'il faut éviter une panique générale. Ensuite Lynne l'informe sur le travail de la NSA , à savoir trouver les terroristes du "Second Wave" et savoir d'où vient la bombe. Lieu de confection de la bombe nucléaire : Deux personnes chargent délicatement une grosse caisse dans un petit camion. Le camion s'en va, c 'est un camion de type "transport UPS".

Maison des Matheson : Kim est toujours à terre suite à la chute malencontreuse de Gary (ep 01). Ils sont figés, quand Gary reçoit un coup de fil... Kim et Megan en profitent pour s'enfuir.. La femme de Gary, la peur au ventre, leur donne ses clés et leur dit : "Allez-vous en !". Au meme moment Gary se rencontre que les filles ne sont plus là et court vers la sortie...

Kim arrive cependant à s'enfuir avec la voiture sous les menaces de mort de Gary... Garry telephone au service "trackcar" pour rechercher la voiture via satellite, et lui permettre de retrouver sa trace...

09:04 Michelle et Jack sont dans un hélicoptère. Ils parlent des modalités de la mission de Jack, la réintégration au sein du groupe de Joseph Wald (ep 01). Jack informe Michelle que d'après les photos du groupe, il en connaît un : Eddy Grey. Ils étaient amis lorsqu'il était en mission auparavant.

QG "Norhwest Regional Operations Complex" Lynne informe le président sur les questions que se pose la presse, son retour précipité de vacances...Palmer le charge de s'en occuper seul...

Eric dit au président qu'on a un vrai problème au QG, et que s'occuper des médias n'est pas important. Mais là Palmer rétorque que dans ce cas-là, on aura deux problèmes...

La panique générale en plus si l'information est divulguée malencontreusement... De retour vers l'hélicoptère (Michelle et Jack) Jack est deposé au lieu de sa voiture. Il téléphone au cat, et tombe sur Georges Mason, et lui demande où cela en est avec sa fille Kim, pour qu'elle soit à l'abri. Mais Mason l'informe qu'elle est introuvable...

Jack ne comprend pas, s'ennerve et insiste sur le fait qu'il fait la retrouver et faire vite...Mason ne bronche pas...

Maison des Matheson : Jack appelle Kim sur son portable mais elle n'est pas là ! Jack l'informe qu'il faut quitter L.A. sans plus de renseignements, qu'un agent Groophy, viendra la chercher pour  l'emmener chez tante Carol. Il insiste tendrement au téléphone et lui dit : " i love you, bye".

Siège de la C.A.T. :  Paula (informaticienne) l'informe sur son inquètude au sujet de la bombe. Pourquoi travailler sur L.A. alors qu'une bombe va exploser à L.A., mais Tony dit qu'on n'est jamais sûr des informations et s'en va discuter avec Mason... Mason a une piste.

Ils ont un van vide à la frontière contenant deux passeports. Et les noms correspondent à leur liste de suspects... Mason ordonne d'envoyer Groophy à ces deux adresses. Tony lui dit qu'on a promis à Jack de prendre sa fille, et insiste malgré lui. Mason ne veut rien savoir et continue...il ne veut pas louper une telle opportunité...

09:09 Jack se gare près d'un garage avec un sac à la main et y rentre. il demande à voir Joseph Wald mais le responsable fait la sourde oreille. Jack entame une autre tactique, il passe le comptoir. Il dit au type d'arrêter de jouer au cow-boy et de prévenir Joseph Wald que Jack est de retour ! Soudain Eddy apparaît et n'est pas très sûr des propos de Jack.

Il l'accuse d'avoir envoyé Joseph en prison. Mais Jack ne désèspère pas et arrive à faire changer d'avis Eddy. Il lui fait montrer la chose dans le sac, une surprise pour Joseph...la tête du Marshall Goren.

Eddy change d'avis et comprend que Goren ne pourra pas témoigner...Eddy dit : "Jack is ok !" et voilà Jack a reussi à s'intégrer en moins d'une heure dans cette éventuelle piste sur Joseph Wald...

09:16 QG "Norhwest Regional Operations Complex" Le président tient une conférence de presse, et essaye de cacher la menace difficilement mais sûrement, enfin pour l'instant...

Après la conférence, Palmer est informé par une responsable, Jenny, que Weeland, un journaliste, fouine plus qu'il n'en faut, et pense qu'il a deviné ce qui se trame...Weeland connaît tout sur tout...Palmer dit d'agir prudemment...

09:17 Voiture des Matheson : Kim et Megane sont en chemin vers le central de police. Mais soudain, Garry s'arrête devant elles, et leur dit de descendre. Kim s'enfuit en courant avec Megane et elles se cachent...Gary perd leur trace et crie après sa fille !

09:20 Lieu de travail du groupe à Eddy : Ses hommes sont en train de préparer des explosifs... Eddy informe un de ces hommes, Dave, que Jack travaille avec eux maintenant ! Mais Dave est plus qu'intrigué sur cette venue inopinée, "Comme ça sur un jour pareil dit-il...".

Jack lui fait dire qu'il a déjà fait ses preuves mais Dave parvient à convaincre Eddy de faire quand même une recherche vu l'enjeu... Jack commence à s'inquiéter...Il dit s'appeller Jack ROUSH à Dave.

Au siège de la C.A.T. : au même moment, Paula s'apreçoit qu'ils sont entrés dans le système pour s'informer sur Jack. Mais Michelle et Tony ne sont pas prêtes...  Pendant ce temps, Ave commence à se poser des questions et en dit un mot à Eddy, qu'il serait en train de lui mentir...la recherche continue...la tension est à son comble, car Eddy a sorti son flingue, Dave n'a toujours rien... Et subitement Dave a quelque chose sur Jack, la cat a donc reussi à temps ! Eddy parle à nouveau avec Jack et s'excuse...

Dave regarde cependant Jack d'un oeil perplexe... 09:28 QG "Norhwest Regional Operations Complex" Palmer parle avec Eric, et il est étonné que rien n'avance dans l'enquête. Eric lui dit simplement qu'il a été prévenu trop tard...et que le président devrait prévenir le Pentagone...

Lynne lui dit que Ron Weeland a réussi à obtenir un direct de 10 minutes à la télé, selon les informations de Jenny.

Palmer s'inquiète et se pose des questions. Il veut un rendez-vous de 10 minutes en secret, et dit à Lynne qu'Armus, le responsable de la sécurité, doit être présent à ce rendez-vous. Lieu de travail du groupe  d'Eddy : Jack essaye de nouer contact avec Dave, mais sans succès...

Eddy lui dit que ce ne sera pas avant demain que Jospeh pourra lui parler, et  ils se disent au revoir... 09:32 Jack appelle la C.A.T. et informe Mason qu'il doit partir du groupe. Il n'a pa reussi. Mason lui dit que les recherches sont toujours en cours. Jack reflechit et va essayer de trouver une parade pour continuer avec eux...

Jack fait noyer sa voiture et gagne du temps en cherchant un problème... Siège de la C.A.T. : Mason se connecte au reseau et prend connaissance du dossier réalisé par Quantico sur les probalités de la bombe...89 à 93 % concernant la probabilité de l'explosion...

Mason est très étonné et choqué et se prépare à partir mais où ?... Mason dit à Tony qu'il part pour Bakersfield, il a une piste mais pas assez d'hommes, il va en renfort. Tony croit que Mason se sauve loin de l'explosion, mais Mason est nerveux et lui demande de faire simplement son boulot.

09:41 Lieu de cachette de Kim et Megane : Garry cherche toujours après eux...Kim et Megane cachées derrière des cartons attendent. Megane se plaint d'avoir mal à la tête... Kim lui dit qu'elle part téléphoner chercher des secours et qu'elle va revenir. Elle dit à Megane de rester cachée.

Maison des Warner :  Kate téléphone à Ralph Bruton, le détective, et l'informe qu'elle n'a pas reussi à fouiller le portefeuille de Rezza... Ralph insiste et parvient à lui faire continuer la recherche... vers son passeport ou autre chose prouvant qu'il a visité certains pays...

09:43 Kate court directement vers la voiture de Rezza...et fouille...parvient à trouver le passeport et note les derniers pays que Rezza a visité...mais Rezza arrive et se demande ce qu'elle fait. Elle repond tout simplement qu'elle doit bouger la voiture pour faire de la place et reussit donc à decanter la situation...Rezza s'en va faire des courses pour Marie...

Lieu de travail du groupe à Eddy Jack continue et fait semblant de trifouiller sa voiture... Dave vient le voir et se demande ce qu'il fait encore là, lui dit de prendre un taxi ! Jack crie après Eddy et lui fait comprendre que Dave a serré trop fort les détonateurs, Dave s'énnerve et s'en prend à Jack, mais Jack l'a vu venir. En un coup, Dave est à terre...

Dave essaye de donner un coup de pied à Jack, mais encore une fois Jack raagit à merveille, prend son pied et lui casse la cheville ! Eddy vient voir et parle à Jack lui disant qu'il a exagéré, cela dit Jack rétorque que "bon fallait pas le chauffer" !

09:51 Lieu de cachette de Kim et Megane : Kim parvient à trouver un téléphone, et tout d'un coup, Garry se trouve derrière elle! Garry tente de calmer la situation...mais Kim est mal à l'aise... mais il veut sa fille et insiste !... Kim lui dit carrément d'aller parler avec Carla, sa femme, et que là peut-être, il reverra sa fille...Garry s'ennerve...

Kim donne un coup de pied et parvient à nouveau à s'enfuir...Garry finit par la rattraper dans une ruelle et ils se battent... Garry devient plus menaçant, Kim reprend cependant le dessus et lui donne un coup de barre de fer sur la tête... Garry est à terre...

Maison des Warner : Kate fournit à Ralph la liste des pays visités par Rezza...Ralph l'informe qu'il pourra donc continuer à enquêter sur le lien avec Ali. Marie arrive et dit à sa soeur que les parents de Rezza vont arriver plus tôt que prévu... Kate et Marie parlent de l'amour sincère entre eux...

09h55 QG "Norhwest Regional Operations Complex" Ron est là pour le rendez-vous avec Palmer... Palmer essaye de tirer les informations de Ron et de le diriger éventuellement vers une mauvaise piste. Mais Ron ne change pas d'avis et lui dit clairement qu'actuellement le président cache une alerte... Palmer essaye donc de lui faire avoir une interview exclusive plus tard avant qu'il ne provoque pas, sans le savoir, une panique générale...

Palmer lui dit bien de ne pas continuer et qu'il fait cela dans l'intérêt du peuple américain... Ron va y réfléchir et s'en va... Au même moment, Palmer téléphone à Armus et lui fait comprendre d'arrêter Ron et de l'isoler un temps...

09h58 Lieu de travail du groupe d'Eddy : Eddy parle à Jack et lui dit qu'il lui manque un homme...Jack rétorque directement qu'il ne bossera pas gratuitement...Eddy réussit quand même à ne pas faire payer Jack et à oublier l'histoire avec Dave, et en conséquence, de ne pas en informer Joseph...

Jack accepte le taff.

Lieu de cachette de Kim et Megane : Kim revient vers le lieu de la cachette, Megane a disparu !!! Kim panique !... Camionette des hommes à Eddy : Eddy informe Jack du boulot : faire sauter la C.A.T. Jack ne bronche et dit : "GOOD !".

ERIC RAYBURN: What can I say Mr. President? I've never been sanguine about our chances of stopping it. Not with just a few hours warning.

PRESIDENT PALMER: What does that supposed to mean?

ERIC RAYBURN: I'm not giving up sir. Every protocol is being followed. Every resource is being tapped but if I were you, I would give some serious thought to what your plan of action will be if in fact we have a detonation.....So I still feel that a disscussion with the Pentagon this morning is in order.

PRESIDENT PALMER: Your barking up the wrong tree Ron.
