Jack's Day:

11:00 P.M. - 12:00 A.M: Andre tells Jack that they know he lied about Palmer's death. They threaten to kill Kimberly if he does not come forward. Jack demands to speak to his daughter, and when Andre refuses, Jack abruptly hangs up. Jack phones Nina and asks her to find out who would have told the Drazens the truth about Palmer. That person is the mole inside CTU. Nina then informs Jack that Kimberly's body was found in the water. An enraged Jack plans his revenge on the Drazens, and storms into their hideout with a van. Jack goes after the fleeing Drazens, and kills both Andre and Victor. When the police arrive at the port, Jack asks a Coast Guard officer about Kimberly but no body had been found in the water. Jack hurries to his car, and learns from Mason that Kimberly is, in fact, safe. Jack warns Mason that Nina is the traitor. Mason, however, needs proof to arrest her. Jack has a surveillance staffer at CTU transmit to his car the security footage from when Jamey Farrell committed suicide. The video confirms that Nina killed Jamey and provides proof for Mason. Jack drives into the CTU garage and is head-on with Nina, who shoots at him. Nina crashes, and Jack holds her at gunpoint. Although he wants to kill her, he pulls away. Jack greets Kimberly warmly, and she asks about Teri. He goes off to look for his wife. Jack finds Teri, but she is dead. Nina has killed her.

10:00 P.M. - 11:00 P.M: Jack is instructed to drive towards Palmer's hotel so that he can put the Senator on the cell phone with Victor Drazen. Palmer will be ordered to unfreeze assets for the Drazens. Jack phones CTU, but is evasive about his actions. After Mason warns the Secret Service, Jack must convince Palmer to let him past security. He promises the candidate that he will not harm him -- Jack only wants to save his own daughter. At the hotel, Palmer tells Jack that Drazen knows the money can't be recouped. Jack realizes that it is a trap, and flings the cell phone that Drazen gave to him out the window as it explodes. Although
Palmer is still alive, Jack persuades the Secret Service to announce that Palmer was killed. Jack tells Andre Drazen that he will trade his life for Kimberly's. Andre has him come to the Port of Los Angeles.

9:00 P.M. - 10:00 P.M: Jack has Nina get Alexis Drazen on the phone to prove to Victor that his son is still alive. Mason agrees to trade Alexis for Jack. In a hideout, Jack makes a last ditch attempt to take a girl hostage. Although Victor is fond of the girl and her father who have sheltered him, he kills them in cold blood. Jack sees Kimberly being brought in, but he is taken away to an abandoned oil field and shackled to a post. After Alexis is safely delivered, a sniper shoots the restraint off Jack's wrist. Jack is
then directed over cell phone to get in a waiting car and drive toward Century City. He is to follow Andre's orders if he wants to see Kim alive again.

8:00 P.M. - 9:00 P.M: Jack tries to keep Victor Drazen at bay and ward against Andre Drazen's forces, but he is overtaken. In a standoff, Andre shoots Mark DeSalvo and captures Jack. The Drazen mission succeeds in its escape. As Victor is about to kill him, Jack offers up Alexis Drazen's life in return. Victor relents, and drags Jack with him as he flees.

7:00 P.M. - 8:00 P.M: In the abandoned wildlife preserve, Jack stumbles upon a locked door to an underground area. Guards bring him inside, and he is informed that it is a top secret, government detention center. A prisoner named Victor Drazen -- whom Jack had assumed was dead -- is delivered there, as Jack helps thwart Andre Drazen's initial attempt to rescue his father. Jack tries to plead with Victor to spare his family, but Victor still carries a grudge about his own family's death at Jack's hands. When Jack finally convinces the detention center leader to move Victor to a more secure location, the lights go off in the facility. Victor tells Jack that his sons are setting him free.

6:00 P.M. - 7:00 P.M: After Palmer provides him with an address from the Pentagon's Drazen file, Jack discovers that it falls within the bounds of the location where the dead man was supposed to shut the power down. Mason goes with Jack to the area, which is a wildlife preserve. However, with no wetlands or animals in sight, Jack becomes suspicious when he spots a brand new power transformer box. Suddenly, a helicopter arrives and Jack is sure that someone knows that they are there.

5:00 P.M. - 6:00 P.M: Jack tries to get in touch with his family, but Mason tells him that the women are fine. At the meeting place, Jack is assigned a CTU shooter named Hanlin who blames Jack for his ex-partner's being arrested. Hanlin, who still holds a grudge, gives Jack a hard time. Jack meets with the man who Alexis Drazen was supposed to pay off. The man reveals that he is supposed to cause a power outage at 7:30 p.m. Yet when the suspect flees after suspecting that Jack is not Alexis, Hanlin disobeys Jack and shoots the man. The man is incapacitated and unable to provide Jack with more information.

4:00 P.M. - 5:00 P.M: Although he is wary about his family's safety, Nina assures him that they are in good hands. Nina also informs Jack that Teri knows about their affair. Jack sets up the sting operation with Elizabeth Nash, and everything is going according to plan until Alexis Drazen tells Elizabeth that he loves her. Elizabeth takes matters into her own hands and stabs him. Jack raids the hotel room with the SWAT team. Alexis Drazen, Jack's only hope of nabbing the assassination team, is barely alive. Yet when Alexis' phone rings, Jack answers it and is instructed by a man to deliver money to a set location.

3:00 P.M. - 4:00 P.M: Deputy Director George Mason is put in charge of overseeing Jack's operations. Jack learns that Robert Ellis has been murdered, and Palmer informs him that one of his campaign aides has been having an affair with suspect Alexis Drazen. Jack convinces the woman to plant a transmitter on the assassin. Jack is still wary that another mole is inside CTU, and he asks Milo if he has any suspicions. When Nina returns to the office, Jack is upset because he asked her to personally safeguard his family. Nina, however, feels that she left Teri and Kim in good hands.

2:00 P.M. - 3:00 P.M: Jack is furious when his wife and daughter are relocated without his knowledge. He refuses to answer any more questions. He is surprised when he is brought in to meet with Senator Palmer. After Palmer accuses him of enacting his own revenge for a botched mission, Jack explains the real situation and the two work together. They soon realize that someone is retaliating for the deaths of terrorist Victor Drazen and his family. Teri and Kim are still in danger. Jack and Palmer contact a covert operative who had set up the mission. He provides them a list of Victor Drazen's associates. As he speaks to Jack about a missing file from the mission, the operative is killed.

1:00 P.M. - 2:00 P.M: After Teri and Kim are taken to a clinic for checkups, Jack is arrested and questioned at CTU. He tries to explain his actions, but Alberta Green and Division head Ryan Chappelle stand in the way of his offering any help to the Palmer case. Jack admits to Nina that he believes someone else on the inside is working against Palmer. That someone would have recruited Jamey.

12:00 P.M. - 1:00 P.M: After Jack secures an injured Rick at the water tower, he goes back to find the lost Teri and Kim. He saves them from one of Gaines' men, grabbing the guy's radio to listen into Gaines' commands. Jack draws Gaines away from Teri and Kim by heading towards him in the woods. Over the walkie-talkie, Gaines reveals that there is a connection to the Belgrade mission and that his employers wanted to affect Jack personally. Gaines, however, refuses to give up and Jack shoots him. Jack, Teri and Kim are shuttled away safely in a CTU helicopter.

11:00 A.M. - 12:00 P.M: After Kevin Carroll leads him onto the compound, Jack is reunited with his family. Rick helps them escape with one of Gaines' vans, but they get trapped at the compound entrance. With Gaines' men shooting at them, Jack explodes the van to create a diversion. He and his family run safely into the woods.

10:00 A.M. - 11:00 A.M: Jack questions the trapped Cofell, but gets no results. He has Nina research both the backgrounds of Cofell and Kevin Carroll, the man Cofell is supposed to meet. When Cofell's claims pan out, Nina questions whether Cofell is truly innocent. Jack does not waver in mistrusting him. Jack drives Cofell to the meeting place, and Cofell pulls a hidden knife on him. As Jack fends him off, Cofell suffers a heart attack. Jack tries to force feed Cofell his heart medicine, but Cofell refuses the pill and dies. Kevin Carroll arrives to meet with Cofell, and Jack recognizes him as the man who has been posing as Alan York. Jack ties Carroll up, and he agrees to lead Jack to where Teri and Kim are being held.

9:00 A.M. - 10:00 A.M: Although roadblocks are set up to trap him and a squad car pulls him over, Jack manages to evade the grasp of the police. He is followed to a crowded lot, but he hides among the parked cars and escapes in another car. Jack talks to Teri on her stolen cell phone, and assures his wife and daughter that he will save them. Yet when Eli finds the phone, Jack threatens him to keep his hands off of Teri and Kim. Jack pretends he is an old friend of Cofell, the name in Jamey's computer. He ascertains from the man's assistant that Cofell is leaving the office by 10 a.m. When Cofell gets in his car, Jack is in the river's
seat.

8:00 A.M. - 9:00 A.M: After unsuccessfully explaining his situation to the Secret Service, Jack is taken into custody. Knowing that his absence will place Kim and Teri in jeopardy, Jack escapes from the Secret Service and hijacks a car. He has Lauren, the driver of the car, bring him to an empty construction site, where he contacts Nina and asks her to send a car. When the Secret Service arrive at the construction site, Jack asks Lauren to get the car that Nina has sent him. Lauren turns him in to the Secret Service, and Jack escapes their grasp once again, fleeing in the CTU-arranged car.

7:00 A.M. - 8:00 A.M: After learning that Teri is indeed alive, Jack picks up a briefcase for Gaines and brings it to the Palmer breakfast, where he is to wait in a supply room. Jonathan, the assassin made to resemble Martin Belkin, removes the laptop in the briefcase to reveal a disassembled gun. He has Jack put it together in order to stamp his fingerprints on the weapon. The Secret Service is warned about Jack, and they apprehend him. Thinking quickly, Jack reaches for an agent's gun. This sets off the entire Secret Service detail to pull Palmer out of the building, causing Jonathan to have no target. Jack tries to persuade Gaines that he had nothing to do with the commotion, but the transmitter falls from Jack's ear. He loses communication with Gaines.

6:00 A.M. - 7:00 A.M: Jack is ordered by Gaines to switch out the decoded key card, and when Nina catches on to his deceit, he is also forced to shoot her. But Jack surreptitiously has Nina put on a bulletproof jacket so that his shots won't affect her. Although he tries to write a note to warn someone, Jack realizes that Gaines has also bugged the security cameras at CTU. With Nina supposedly gone, Gaines sends Jack to the Palmer breakfast.

5:00 A.M. - 6:00 A.M: Jack takes the car to CTU and has Nina rush the identification of the body inside. He quickly helicopters to the hospital to see Teri, and has guards watch over Janet. He begins to interrogate Alan York, but Teri stops him. As he waits to speak to Janet, his cell phone rings. It is Gaines, who has kidnapped Kimberly. Gaines orders Jack to leave the hospital without alarming Teri. Unbeknownst to Jack, Janet has been killed and York has taken Teri. But the man Teri is with is not really York. Nina is unable to reach Jack to tell him that the body in the car is the real Alan York.

4:00 A.M. - 5:00 A.M: Jack slips a note to the heavily-guarded Penticoff so that they can speak privately. Working around Mason, Jack manages to illegally spring Penticoff from jail so that he can obtain some leads on both Palmer's hit and Kimberly's whereabouts. When Gaines instructs Penticoff to dispose a body in a locked trunk, Jack fears the worst. They find the body and it's not Kim but an unidentified man. Mason catches up to Jack and Penticoff . Jack appeals to the Mason for help. Mason sends Penticoff back to prison, and allows Jack to follow up on the case. As Jack takes the car to CTU to identify the body, he asks Teri to find out anything she can from Janet York.

3:00 A.M. - 4:00 A.M: Jack apologizes to Nina and tells her about Walsh getting killed. When an address is found on the key card, Jack investigates and, along with a patrol officer, pursues a man who is hiding there. The suspect kills the officer, and as the police drag the suspect away, he tells Jack that he knows how to save Kimberly.

2:00 - 3:00 A.M: Jack returns to CTU with evidence that incriminates Nina as being the dirty agent. Jack confronts Nina. Jamey discovers that the data was compiled onto the key card on January 14th . But on that date, Jack and Nina were in Santa Barbara together. Someone must have hacked into Nina's computer. Jack is relieved that Nina is innocent. She, however, is furious with Jack for not trusting her.

1:00 A.M. - 2:00 A.M: When Director Richard Walsh calls, Jack rushes downtown to help him escape from unknown shooters. Before Walsh is killed, he gives Jack a CTU security key card with encrypted information about the Palmer assassination attempt. Walsh tells Jack that if he finds out where the card originated, he will uncover the dirty CTU agent. Jack has Jamey decrypt the card. The card came from Nina's computer.

12:00 A.M. - 1:00 A.M: After noticing that his teenage daughter Kimberly has snuck out of the house, Jack gets urgently called into the office. Presidential candidate Senator David Palmer has been named a target for assassination. Jack is also told to keep much of the investigation a secret from his staff because there is suspicion that someone inside CTU is involved. When District Director Mason is evasive about his source of information, Jack blackmails him to get answers. Meanwhile, his concern for Kimberly’s safety only intensifies as his wife sets out with another girl’s father to find their daughters.
