Rick's house

Jack sits on the couch and in front of him sits Rick.

"It is a matter of national security, you need to tell us what you know about Ryan" says Jack.

"I already told you, I have not seen him for years," says Rick. "I have no idea what he was planning."

"We'll do it your way," says Jack. "Give me your phone."

"why?"

"Give it to me!" Jack says loudly.

Rick takes out of his pocket his phone and gives it to Jack.

Jack takes the phone and says: "Let's check with who have you talked lately."

CTU

Paul holds a black suitcase and walks toward George.

"Hey, George," says Paul. "I came to help you."

"Okay," says George.

"Where can I work?" Asks Paul.

"I'm not in charge here, asked Tony."

"where is he?" Asks Paul

"In the interrogation room."

Ryan's bodyguard is handcuffed. He sits on a chair next to a table. Tony enters the room and closes the door.

"So you work for Rain" says Tony.

"Yes, but he hired me and the other two other bodyguards," says the bodyguard. "We belong to a private security company."

"Which private company?" Tony asks.

" Kevin Security Inc."

"What's your name?"

"Danny Warren"

Tony takes out his phone and calls Chloe.

Split Screen: Tony is in the interrogation room and talks with Chloe who works on the computer.

"Chloe check for me if there is a man named Danny Warren who works for a private security company named Kevin Security Inc." says Tony.

"Okay, I will return to you in a few minutes," says Chloe.

Tony hangs up and says: "We will check if your information is correct and in the meantime tell me what you know about the deal that Ryan made with a man named Lucas Collins."

"About an hour ago Lucas came to Ryan house. Ryan gave Lucas a particular device for half a million dollars. That's all I know," says Danny. "You can ask the two bodyguards who work with me, they know more about Ryan."

"They died," says Tony.

"You killed them ?!" Says Danny.

"They tried to kill us," says Tony.

"They were good people," says Danny angrily.

"Like you said before, they know more things about Ryan than you and likely it's because they know what he's doing," says Tony. "Now tell me what you know about Ryan."

"He is a military man," says Danny. "I know he works in some secret base. He is not married, doesn't have brothers and his best friend it's Rick."

"Wait a minute, you said that Rick is his best friend?" Tony asks.

"yes."

"Wait a minute, I have to do something," says Tony and leaves the room.

Rick's house

7:06:08, 7:06:09, 7:06:10, 7:06:11

Jack looks at the phone and says: "There isn't any proof here that you have talked with Ryan or that he have texted you. But one thing is certain, you're hiding something from me."

Jack returns to Rick his phone.

"See, you have to believe me, Jack," says Rick.

Jack's phone rings and he answers.

Split Screen: Tony gets out of the interrogation room and speaks with Jack that is standing in the living room.

"Tony, I'm now in Rick's apartment and it turns out that it was a waste of time," says Jack. "Rick is not in contact with Ryan, but I think he's hiding something from me."

"Rick isn't conceal from you something else, he is in contact with Ryan" says Tony.

"What do you mean? "Asks Jack."I have just checked his phone and he doesn't have any connection to Ryan. "

"So probably he have deleted all the conversations and the correspondence with him," says Tony. "Now I talked with the bodyguard of Ryan and he told me that Ryan is the best friend of Rick. He also said that Ryan gave Lucas a particular device for half a million."

"Okay, I will check what Rick knows about it," says Jack and hangs up.

"One of the bodyguards who works for Ryan said that you're the best friend of Ryan" says Jack. "So you'd better start talking now."

"But you saw that I had no connection with him on my phone," says Rick.

"You think I'm stupid? I know you have deleted all the conversations and correspondence with him," says Jack. "Speak now or it will begin to hurt you."

"Please," begs Rick. "This must be a mistake. I don't know anything"

Jack gives a blow to Rick's stomach. Rick shouts.

"The next blow will be in the cam of your knee," says Jack. "So if you don't want that every time you walk it will be hurt for you, you better tell me what you know about Ryan in connection with this transaction."

"Okay, okay," says Rick, while breathing. "Yesterday I met with Ryan and he told me that tomorrow he is going to sell a particular device to a businessman."

"Which device?" Jack asks.

"I don't know," says Rick. "But Ryan said he was going to sell this device to this businessman without the electronic component inside it. At noon Ryan supposed to go to New York and meet in the evening with someone. This man would pay him double for the device and Ryan would give him in exchange the actual device.

"You work with him?" Jack asks.

"No!"

"So why have you deleted all your conversations and correspondence with him on the phone?"

"He asked me to do this in order that no one could link me to him," says Rick. "And he said that if someone will come to me and will ask about him, I need to deny any connection to him and to stall time."

"And you know where is this electronic component?" Jack asks.

"Probably in his house," says Rick. "He has a secret place in his house where he put all his important stuff."

"Do you know something else?" Jack asks.

"No."

"Well, I will go now," says Jack.

"You could be a little less mean to me."

"And you could tell the truth from the beginning," says Jack and gets out of the house.

Jack calls Chloe.

Split screen: Jack goes to the car and Chloe is sitting at the computer.

"Yes, Jack," says Chloe.

"I have spoken now with Rick and he told me that the electronic component that from him is built the device is probably still in Ryan's house" says Jack.

"But he didn't sell this device already to Lucas? This is what the bodyguard we arrested said."

"Yes, but this was a fake device, He left the real one at home," says Jack and gets into the car. "I need you to call our agents who are in Ryan's house and tell them to search the whole house for a hiding place where Ryan could hide this component."

Jack starts the car and drives off.

"Jack, before Tony returned, George ordered all the agents who are there to return to CTU" says Chloe.

"why?"

"FBI took charge of the place," says Chloe. "Wait a minute, It's written in my computer that there is another CTU agent in the house."

"Who is he?"

"His name is Ron and his number is 424-8206524."

"Thanks Chloe" says Jack. "And tell Tony I'm going now to Ryan's house."

"Okay," says Chloe and hangs up.

Jack calls to agent Ron.

Split screen: Jack is driving a car and talking with Ron that is in Ryan's house.

"Who is it?" Asks Ron.

"This is Jack Bauer."

"What do you need, sir?"

"I need that you will search for me an electronic component inside the house," says Jack. "I will get there in less than fifteen minutes so if you find the Component you wait there, okay?"

"Yes," says Ron.

Jack hangs up and continues to drive.
