Jack turns Wayne over to Buchanan, and then goes to meet Audrey and Heller at the airport. Instead of turning over the evidence to the Attorney General, Heller has Jack and Audrey detained by the Secret Service so that he can convince Logan to resign. Heller gives the tape to one of the agents. Jack escapes from the restraints and grabs the tape, but Henderson’s team arrives at the airport. Henderson takes Audrey captive and slices an artery on her arm to get Jack to hand over the tape. Jack has no choice but to give him the evidence so that he can save Audrey from bleeding to death.

After the name of an intelligence broker is retrieved from Henderson’s computer, Jack and the TAC team raid the woman’s hotel room. They only find her lover, who is actually a German operative on an undercover mission. The agent refuses to give up the woman to Jack because he must protect his own investigation. Jack offers to give him the classified U.S. list of terrorist suspects, which Germany has wanted. The agent agrees to trade his mark for the list, and he leads Jack to capture the woman. Yet the agent discovers that Jack triggered the list to self-destruct. Jack gives the woman full immunity in order to find out the source that provided her the information to trade to Bierko. The source is Audrey.

7:00 P.M.-8:00 P.M.
While trapped in the conference room, Jack puts a chokehold on Barry and accuses him of taking advantage of Kim. Kim explains that Barry convinced her not to commit suicide. With no other hope of preventing the nerve gas from killing everyone, Jack climbs behind walls to get to the infected areas. He holds his breath to protect himself, but he cannot get to the computer that is blocking the air conditioning system. Jack convinces McGill, who is the closest to the computer, to access it. However, this means McGill will die. McGill is able to turn the air conditioning back on and the nerve gas is flushed out. Jack runs to the medical unit where Tony has threatened to murder Henderson. Yet Jack is too late -- Henderson has stabbed Tony with the syringe of lethal pain medication and has escaped. Jack holds Tony as he dies.

6:00 P.M.-7:00 P.M.
Jack helplessly tries to convince Kim that he lied about his death only to protect her. Kim doesn’t show any feeling toward him.

McGill orders that Jack be brought into custody for failing to apprehend the terrorists with the nerve gas. Jack receives a call through Audrey from Nathanson, who masterminded the plot with Cummings. Nathanson has a lead, but will deal with no one else. Jack is forced to escape from Curtis to meet up with him. The terrorist gunmen follow and shoot Nathanson. Before he dies, he hands Jack a computer chip that has information about the nerve gas.

2:00 P.M.-3:00 P.M.
Jack answers when Erwich calls Rossler’s phone. He pretends to be Rossler when handing over the chip to Erwich’s men. The men kidnap Jack to test out the trigger in a shopping mall. The President gives CTU permission to allow the terrorists to set off the gas in the mall because they would rather retrieve the other nineteen canisters and prevent a major disaster.

Jack gets Spenser to admit that Cummings from the White House hired him to monitor CTU. While CTU can’t go after the Chief of Staff, Jack says that he can do it because he doesn’t work for CTU.

Logan is relieved by her support.

5:00 P.M.-6:00 P.M.
Martha refuses to speak with Logan because he did not stand up to the terrorists. He lies to Suvarov about what was known about the ambush and nerve gas. When Suvarov suggests that Martha seemed distracted even before the attack, Logan dismisses this as an episode of her psychological disorder.

Yet all plans go out the window when Cummings is found dead after committing suicide.

12:00 P.M.-1:00 P.M.
Logan is shocked when Cummings confesses that he set up the terrorists with the nerve gas so that they could prove there are weapons of mass destruction in Central Asia. This would allow America to beef up its military and secure oil. Cummings has an inside man who will detonate the canisters before it reaches Moscow. Logan has no choice but to go along with this because there is no turning back, even though Cummings was responsible for Palmer’s death. Jack gets Cummings to divulge where the nerve gas is, and Logan has Cummings arrested. With the Chinese still after him, Jack agrees to disappear once the terrorist threat is over.

9:00 A.M.-10:00 A.M.
The President is pulled away from the summit to deal with the hostage situation. Logan wants it resolved by the time he has to sign the treaty and is horrified when the terrorists start killing civilians.

8:00 A.M.-9:00 A.M.
Although Russian President Suvarov may be in jeopardy, Logan does not want any changes to the summit’s proceedings. Logan receives from Cummings the tape of Martha’s conversation with Palmer. There is nothing of national security on the audio. He plays it for her to prove that she is delusional and should be back on her medication.
