<img src="/wp-content/bo/attachment/1139999712.jpg" class="insertimage" border="0" />1:00 P.M.Cummings explains to Jack and Logan that a man named Nathanson recruited him. They were acting as patriots to secure oil interests. Chloe tracks Nathanson but his line has been disconnected. The terrorists are now operating on their own. Jack believes Cummings’ story.1:04 P.M.Logan doesn’t know what to do next, but Jack verifies that CTU will take over. If Jack needs to disappear again, he doesn’t want his daughter to know that he is still alive. Logan asks Jack to serve the office of the President even though he is not Palmer. He wants to reinstate Jack, regardless of what political ramifications will occur. Their urgent need is to recover the nerve gas before millions are killed.1:05 P.M.One of Erwich’s men cannot figure out how to arm the canisters after Schaeffer locked them. He urges Erwich to forget about retaliation against the Americans because their true enemy is the Russians. Erwich warns him not to disobey orders. 1:06 P.M.McGill’s sister Jenny calls him from a payphone asking for $500. He is annoyed, but she swears she is not using drugs anymore. McGill won’t let her come to CTU to get the money because he is embarrassed of her. Jenny threatens to hurt herself, so McGill agrees to meet her in a parking lot across from the office.1:08 P.M.CTU learns that the canisters are useless without the detonation codes. Erwich gets a call from a man named Jacob Rossler, who has been asked to help him reconfigure the activation device. Rossler needs Erwich to cut into the canisters in order to get the identification keys so that he can set up new remote triggers.1:09 P.M.Buchanan lets Audrey know that President Logan has reinstated Jack with full autonomy and access. Chloe gets a tap on Erwich’s phone and she plays back his conversation with Rossler. Edgar traces the call to a landline in downtown Los Angeles. 1:10 P.M.Buchanan calls Jack, who is in a helicopter, with the location of Rossler. Rossler is a software programmer who was indicted for high security code infiltration. Jack asks for schematics of the building and for Curtis to meet him there with a small team.1:11 P.M.Chloe alerts Buchanan that the security system in Rossler’s building uses a proprietary technology that is hard to hack into. She wants Spenser to help because he has more experience with it than her and Edgar combined. Edgar thinks this is a bad idea because Spenser had been spying on them. Buchanan relents on the condition that Spenser wears a security wristband.Jack calls Audrey. He asks her to call his daughter Kim and bring her to CTU. He wants to tell her that he is alive in person.1:12 P.M.Erwich enters an auto body shop and threatens to kill a mechanic unless he helps them cut some metal.1:18 P.M.Spenser is brought of out holding. He tries to thank Chloe for having him reinstated, but she says that she only needs his help with hacking. She does not forgive him.Although Martha is still agitated with her husband, she doesn’t want to fight. She thinks he will need her because things are going to get rough for him. She slaps him, cautioning, “Don’t you ever do that to me again.”1:19 P.M.Novick comes in, and Logan apologizes to both him and Martha. The President wants to discuss the Cummings problem with Martha present. Novick thinks they can cover up Cummings’ involvement in Palmer’s murder to protect the credibility of the office of the President. Martha is appalled, and she insists that the American public doesn’t like being lied to. Logan agrees and asks her to help draw up a press statement for him.1:21 P.M.With the mechanic ready, Rossler gives Erwich instructions on how to cut the canister.1:22 P.M.Curtis and his team meet Jack’s chopper on the roof of Rossler’s building. Chloe radios to Jack as Spenser monitors the men guarding Rossler. Jack wants Spenser to shut down the security cameras so that he can enter, but the cameras can only be disrupted for thirty seconds because they will reboot themselves.1:24 P.M.Erwich gives the mechanic directions to cut the metal but doesn’t tell him what is inside when the man questions him. Erwich recalls how his wife is in a prison and his son is being held in a state-run facility. “This is about justice, about ending tyranny,” Erwich says, explaining that the government is his enemy. The mechanic begins slicing the canister.1:32 P.M.The mechanic opens the canister so that Erwich can make out the LED numbers of the ID keys.1:33 P.M.Spenser overrides the security cameras at Rossler’s building so that Jack and Curtis can raid the premises. A guard alerts Rossler that there might be a breach with a warning to remain in his office.1:34 P.M.As the elevator reaches the penthouse, Chloe lets Jack know that there are men with automatic weapons on the floor. Jack and Curtis come out firing when the door opens. Curtis is hit in his flak jacket, so Jack proceeds to Rossler’s office. 1:35 P.M.Chloe tells Jack that Rossler is armed, and Jack quickly shoots him in the leg. Rossler tosses his handgun. Jack orders his backup teams to come in. Chloe says that there is someone else in the penthouse, so Curtis covers Rossler.1:36 P.M.Jack finds a young girl with bruises hiding in the bedroom. In her Russian accent, she says that her name is Inessa and Rossler was keeping her captive. Jack approaches her gently and leads her out of the room, promising that he will help her. He tells the medic not to give Rossler any pain medication for his wound.1:37 P.M.Jack handles the interrogation while CTU listens in, but Rossler is unyielding. Jack even has Curtis step on Rossler’s wound. Rossler demands full immunity, his assets sent to a foreign country and Inessa to be given to him. Jack says no, and he has Curtis inflict pain on the man some more.1:38 P.M.McGill radios Jack and orders him to accept the deal. McGill tells Buchanan to make sure that Jack follows the plan while he steps out.1:39 P.M.Jack begrudgingly tells Rossler that he will be granted his conditions. Rossler wants the agreement signed by the Attorney General. He will only talk when he sees the document.1:44 P.M.McGill goes outside and meets up with his sister Jenny. He hands her the number of a doctor who can help her. Suddenly, a guy jumps out and punches McGill, taking his wallet. Jenny apologizes to her brother and leaves with the man.1:45 P.M.Chloe is uncomfortable as she directs Spenser to hand his work over to Edgar. Spenser wants to keep working, but Chloe is adamant that his reinstatement is over now that Rossler is in custody. Spenser is escorted out by guards. Edgar tries to console Chloe for doing the right thing. “Shut up, Edgar,” she snaps.1:46 P.M.Rossler tells Jack that he only first talked to Erwich a half hour ago. He was put in touch with him by a Russian associate who is a commander in the resistance army. Erwich will be calling him back with the identification keys in the canisters so that he can reprogram the trigger with an updated chip. Rossler is going to deliver the chip to him at a location Erwich decides. Rossler won’t turn over the chip to Jack until he sees the paperwork granting his freedom. 1:49 P.M.Jack calls Buchanan, who says that the Attorney General will be sending the papers in a few minutes. CTU hasn’t found much on Inessa, who is fifteen and was listed as missing from Kiev. Jack tells Rossler that he can’t take Inessa. Rossler calls it a deal breaker.1:54 P.M.Martha thinks Logan should take responsibility for Cummings’ actions and offer swift punishment. Logan is happy to work with his wife again. Novick calls and urgently asks the President to meet him in the hallway. 1:55 P.M.As the Secret Service cuts the strap that Cummings has hanged himself with, Logan and Martha enter, horrified. 1:56 P.M.Jack calls Audrey to find out if she contacted Kim. Audrey promises to try her again. 1:57 P.M.Inessa asks Jack when she can return home. He carefully explains that he needs her to go with Rossler, but that agents will follow her and take her away from him. Jack swears that he won’t let anything happen to her, but Inessa doesn’t trust him. “You are no different from Rossler,” she says.1:58 P.M.After the mechanic finishes cutting open the last canister, Erwich calmly shoots him. One of the men inputs all the codes into a PDA. Erwich orders them to load all the canisters back into the truck. Erwich calls Rossler’s number from his sat phone. Jack has Rossler answer, and Erwich sends him the codes over text message. Rossler says he can have the chip ready in ten minutes. Erwich will call him back with a location.1:59 P.M.Jack has Rossler wired, and he takes Inessa to leave. Suddenly, Inessa pulls a gun from her shirt and plugs Rossler with two shots. Jack lunges for the gun, but Rossler is already dead. With Erwich calling back shortly, they have no other link to the nerve gas.

Erwich calls Rossler’s phone and Chloe records it.2:01 P.M.Using an indistinct voice, Jack answers Rossler’s phone. Erwich gives who he thinks is Rossler the location to meet one of his men. Curtis readies a tracking device inside the chip.2:02 P.M.Jack calls Buchanan. Since Erwich is sending a man who does not know Rossler, Jack can pretend to be him. Even though this is risky, Jack knows that it’s the only way to lead them to Erwich and the nerve gas.2:03 P.M.Curtis shows Jack that the chip is genuine and can detonate the trigger. The chip also has a listening device so that CTU can hear what’s happening.2:04 P.M.Erwich instructs one of his men to come up with a backup plan in case the chip doesn’t let them trigger the nerve gas by remote.2:05 P.M.Novick suggests to Logan that they attribute Cummings’ suicide to despondency instead of labeling him a traitor. Without Cummings to answer for what he has done, the President may be liable for his crimes. Logan notes that Martha will have a problem with this lie.2:07 P.M.Evelyn asks the First Lady about Cummings’ death. Martha is preparing a statement for the President that will lay out everything. Evelyn still questions whether Cummings really killed himself. Martha explains that he was a traitor.2:09 P.M.Curtis watches as a blue van arrives to meet Jack at the rendezvous point. Edgar runs the plates and finds that the van has been stolen. Jack, acting as Rossler, approaches the two men and they show him the payment for the chip.2:11 P.M.As Chloe instructs him over his earwig, Jack works on the trigger. He replaces the chip, but the men want him to accompany them to ensure that it works. CTU listens as one of the men, Polakov, punches Jack and throws him into the van.2:12 P.M.Audrey insists that CTU stop this mission. Erwich knows who Jack is from the airport, and now he is in danger. McGill thinks this is the only solution for grabbing Erwich. Buchanan goes along with McGill, who orders Curtis not to interfere with the men capturing Jack.2:18 P.M.Evelyn gives Martha the press release that the President has issued. It brands Cummings as a hero. Martha is furious and goes to Logan’s office to find out what happened. Novick explains to her that Cummings’ suicide would not allow him to face justice. Martha accuses Logan of serving his own self-interest instead of confessing to what really happened. The President suggests that she be the one to tell Cummings’ wife the truth when the woman comes to collect her husband’s body. Martha says that she will do the right thing, no matter how painful.2:20 P.M.As Curtis follows the van, Jack tries to get information from Polakov. Jack realizes that they have one of the nerve gas canisters inside the van. McGill won’t let Curtis intercept until they have a visual on the canister. Chloe tracks the van heading towards a shopping mall.2:22 P.M.Chloe sends schematics of the mall to the tactical teams, who are getting into position. The men unload the canister and plan to walk through the front door. Jack refuses to go with them because there are hundreds of video cameras there and he only agreed to sell them the chip. Polakov forces him to follow. Audrey radios Jack that the tactical teams will recover the canister before they enter the mall.2:23 P.M.Audrey is incredulous when McGill doesn’t let the teams move in to grab the canister. He would rather accept the damage of one canister versus allowing the other nineteen to be released. Audrey tries appealing to Buchanan, who decides to call the President.2:24 P.M.Jack and the two men dress as air conditioning repairmen and enter the mall.2:29 P.M.CTU watches as Jack and the men are picked up on the mall surveillance cameras. They pass a children’s birthday party as they enter the security guard area.2:30 P.M.Polakov shoots a security guard. They pull out a blueprint and set about slicing open the air ducts.2:31 P.M.Jack listens in as CTU gets the President on the line and explain the situation. The other nineteen canisters could be deployed in densely populated areas like sports arenas and subway systems. The loss of life would be great. This one canister would cause fewer casualties.2:32 P.M.As Polakov and his accomplice place the canister into the duct, Logan weighs the options. McGill and Buchanan agree that the greater good would be served by releasing the gas in the mall, but Audrey believes they have no right to sanction the deaths of innocent people.2:33 P.M.Logan does not want to decide but only he can legally make the call. Logan gives in to their assessment about releasing the gas in the mall in order to nab the terrorists with the other nineteen cans.2:34 P.M.McGill gives Jack the go to follow the terrorists’ plan. Jack and the men put on their gas masks. Buchanan gives Jack the unlock code, but Jack transmits the wrong code to Polakov. McGill orders him to provide the correct code, but Jack ignores this. The canisters do not arm, and Jack tells Polakov that there is nothing he can do to make it work.2:36 P.M.Polakov calls Erwich and explains that they cannot arm the canisters. He doesn’t know whether to believe “Rossler.” Erwich says that they may have another way to detonate the canisters. The men knock out Jack and handcuff him to a table. CTU listens as Polakov discusses that there may be a way to release the gas without the remote trigger.2:41 P.M.Jack wakes up and hears Polakov receiving instructions on how to manually open the valve on the canister.2:42 P.M.Audrey argues with McGill about saving the children in the mall, but McGill stands by the President’s command.2:43 P.M.As Polakov nears completion of the detonation, they don their masks. The partner goes to kill Jack, but Jack kicks the man off his feet and takes his mask. Polakov flees, missing Jack’s shots. Erwich hears the gunfire. Jack grabs the keys from the dead guard and releases his handcuff.2:44 P.M.Jack goes to the air duct and stops the canister from releasing more gas. He alerts CTU that he prevented the flow, but that some nerve gas has seeped into the air conditioning system. They should evacuate the mall and find Polakov. Jack warns another security guard about the gas. The man radios for emergency procedures and an announcement is made over the PA.2:45 P.M.As the shoppers run in panic, Jack looks for Polakov. People start dropping from inhalation of the gas. Jack finds the ventilation control room and shuts down the panels.2:47 P.M.Jack sees a little girl lying restless on the ground. He puts his mask to her face and carries her outside to Curtis. Jack calls for a shot of atropine as the girl passes out. He injects her and she wakes up.2:48 P.M.Chloe tracks the moving signal from the chip held by Polakov. Polakov breaks into a parked car and hotwires it. He peels out of the lot.2:53 P.M.As he drives, Polakov calls Erwich and explains that “Rossler” tried to stop them. Erwich instructs him to come back to the auto shop.2:54 P.M.While Chloe tracks Polakov, Jack and Curtis follow him. McGill calls the President to tell him that Jack disobeyed the order. Logan is furious.2:55 P.M.Novick gives Logan word that a small amount of casualties were contained at the mall. CTU has a chance to find Erwich and the other canisters. He also adds that Suzanne Cummings has arrived at the retreat.2:56 P.M.Suzanne Cummings cries to Martha, blaming herself that she wasn’t with her husband when he died. Logan eavesdrops as Suzanne asks Martha why Cummings committed suicide. “Walt loved this country,” is all Martha can answer. When she exits the room, Martha looks at Logan, disappointed.2:58 P.M.Chloe tracks Polakov to an auto body shop. McGill gives the order to set up a perimeter and begin the team’s approach. From a distance outside in a car, Erwich watches as the CTU teams surround the auto body shop.2:59 P.M.Erwich calls Polakov, who is inside the shop. He tells him that he has been followed. “You know what to do,” Erwich instructs. As Jack enters the building, Polakov shoots himself in the head. Both Erwich and the canisters are gone. Erwich and his remaining men drive off in a pickup truck.
