Vladimir Questions Renee

Jack Bauer: Since last August, we’ve been living and operating out of a hotel called Bella Noche on Avenida Juarez.
Renee Walker: Can’t they check that?
Jack Bauer: Yeah, it’s been set up as a safe haven for high-end criminal activity. They don’t keep records. Have you got the name?
Renee Walker: Bella Noche. I got it.
Jack Bauer: Okay, I’m gonna be monitoring you, filling in the details. Just listen to my voice. I’ll get you all the information you need.
Renee Walker: He’s coming.
Ziya Dakhilov: Come on. Let’s go.
Jack Bauer: (phone rings) Yeah?
Chloe O’Brian: It’s not pretty, Jack. She had a real problem on her hands.
Jack Bauer: Talk to me.
Chloe O’Brian: According to the responsible agent, Vladimir Laitanan was completely obsessed with her. It turned violent.
Jack Bauer: How violent?
Chloe O’Brian: Broken ribs, a busted cheekbone. A couple trips to the emergency room.
Jack Bauer: Did he rape her?
Chloe O’Brian: Not according to these files, but it looks like he tried a couple of times.
Jack Bauer: Did she say anything about this to you or Hastings?
Chloe O’Brian: No. What’s this about, Jack? Jack?
Jack Bauer: The FBI tried to cover this up as much as they could. But after she left the bureau, Renee went into a tailspin. She tried to kill herself at least once that I know about. She says she’s past it, but I know she’s not. I can see it in her eyes.
Chloe O’Brian: You think she’s purposely putting herself in harm’s way?
Jack Bauer: I don’t think she cares what happens to her either way.
Chloe O’Brian: Where is she now?
Jack Bauer: She’s going in. I’m going to put you on speaker.
Lugo Elson: Hands up. Turn around. (pats down and searches Renee) Go.
Renee Walker: Hello, Vlad.
Vladimir Laitanan: Renee.
Renee Walker: You changed your face.
Vladimir Laitanan: I had it done in Caracas. What do you think?
Renee Walker: Makes you look younger. I should get the name of that doctor.
Vladimir Laitanan: He’s not practicing anymore. A sad story. Our little friend here says you were in Mexico City. For what?
Renee Walker: Had some business.
Vladimir Laitanan: Good for you. I have some contacts there myself.
Renee Walker: Yeah, I know you do.
Vladimir Laitanan: So… give me names.
Jack Bauer (over comm): The Peralta-Rodriguez family.
Renee Walker: Uh… The Peralta-Rodriguez family. Cartorenas in Guadalajara. Ramon Jimenez.
Vladimir Laitanan: I know Ramon. Is his brother Luiz still running their heroin operations?
Jack Bauer (over comm): He was killed nine months ago by the Federales.
Renee Walker: Not since he was killed by the Federales nine months ago.
Vladimir Laitanan: You know, Renee, now that you mention it, there is something different about you, too.
Renee Walker: How do you mean?
Vladimir Laitanan: Your eyes. Your skin. You look like hell.
Renee Walker: Well, it’s hard to look your best with a gun in your face.
Vladimir Laitanan: No, that’s not it. Something else. Have you been sick?
Renee Walker: No.
Vladimir Laitanan: Maybe you picked up a little Hepatitis C on your travels? Where were you staying in Mexico City?
Renee Walker: The Bella. Bella Noche Hotel.
Vladimir Laitanan: Bella Noche, naturally. Then of course you must know the government official who allows it to operate without police interference.
Jack Bauer: Chloe, the hotel in Mexico City — was there a local politician on the take? I don’t have it here.
Chloe O’Brian: Neither do I. Checking DEA database.
Jack Bauer: Come on. Chloe?
Chloe O’Brian: Give me a minute.
Jack Bauer: She doesn’t have a minute!
Vladimir Laitanan: Waiting for a name!
Ziya Dakhilov: Go ahead, tell him.
Renee Walker: (Buying herself some time) Really getting tired of this, Vlad.
Vladimir Laitanan: His name!
Chloe O’Brian: Got it — Raul Castillo.
Jack Bauer (over comm): Castillo, Raul Castillo.
Renee Walker: Raul Castillo, all right? Are we done playing 20 questions now?
Vladimir Laitanan: Yes, I believe we are. (laughs) You know, Renee, I had almost forgotten how much fun you are. You’re not like other women. You have balls.
Renee Walker: Hmm, you always did say the nicest things. Can we talk about this deal now?
Vladimir Laitanan: I wish it were that simple. Tie her up.
Renee Walker: What?! Vlad, what are you doing?
Vladimir Laitanan: You gave me all the right answers, Renee, but you’re not telling the truth.
Renee Walker: You’re making a mistake. This is the chance of a lifetime.
Vladimir Laitanan: (motions to Ziya Dakhilov) Him, too.
Ziya Dakhilov: Vlad, wait.
Vladimir Laitanan: Put them in the trunk.
Ziya Dakhilov: Vladimir… Vladimir, no! No, Vladimir, please don’t do this! Listen to me! She come to me! She come to my place, the bitch! I swear! Vladimir, I don’t know anything about this! No!
Jack Bauer: Chloe, what the hell just happened? They put her in the trunk, I lost audio.
Chloe O’Brian: Boosting the signal now.
Jack Bauer: Renee?
Chloe O’Brian: Try it again.
Jack Bauer: Renee, can you hear me? Say something. Chloe, I don’t have her.
Chloe O’Brian: Then the car must be armored. Either that or her comm shorted out.
Jack Bauer: (watches car leave the premises) Are you seeing this?
Chloe O’Brian: I am.
Jack Bauer: Okay, I’m following North through an alley towards Woodward. I think this operation just blew up.
Chloe O’Brian: Jack, are you planning to intercept?
Jack Bauer: Not if the car is armored. I’m gonna need tactical support.
Chloe O’Brian: I’m alerting Hastings to scramble a team now.
Jack Bauer: Tell him I see four men in the car, and we’re going to have to assume they’re taking Renee somewhere to kill her.
Chloe O’Brian: Copy that.
Jack Bauer: DAMN IT!
