Treatment: First Draft

After being separated from his friends after the terrorist attack, Darryl is detained by the DHS.  He goes through weeks of torture.  Every once and a while he hears his torturers hint at "the Plan" that is apparently on track.  One day after a brutal torturing where he is continuously beaten with a belt, one of his torturers stays behind and tells him of "the Plan".  The Plan refers to the fact that the DHS was behind the terrorist attack, and that they intend on creating a police state where citizens are stripped of their freedom and the top dogs of the DHS take advantage of their loss of individuality.  This dark knight, called Back Jauer, plans to sneak Darryl out of the prison and help him escape to freedom where he can reveal the evil plot of the DHS.  In the middle of the night, Back Jauer leads Darryl out of the prison and they head for Fisherman's Wharf.

Once they arrive at the Wharf they enter a submarine full of 20 or so men.  These men call themselves the Freedom Fighters, a small agency aware of the Plan concocted by the DHS.  Back Jauer explains to Darryl that he was under cover for the Freedom Fighters and infiltrated DHS intelligence.  He explains that the Freedom Fighters have been keeping tabs on Darryl's friend Marcus, and that his plan in taking down the DHS is flawed.  It is Darryl's job to make sure Marcus goes along with the Freedom Fighters' plan.

Safety is out of the question.  Darryl is constantly in danger.  The DHS is now aware that they were infiltrated by the Freedom Fighters.  After taking out the Freedom Fighters, Darryl, Back Jauer and Marcus are the only ones who know the evils the DHS plan to carry out.

The last scene takes place on the docks of Fisherman's Wharf as DHS officials stand in between Darryl and a helicopter with Jack Bauer at the helm, headed to the White House to rat out the DHS.
