Day 5: 5:00 AM - 6:00 AM

Key Moments:

• Bierko has flushed the gas out of the sub and is now loading targets for the missiles.
• Audrey confirms with the military that it will take more than 20 minutes to sink the sub. It’s up to Jack to get the job done. I wasn’t expecting that!
• Jack is on site and discusses assaulting the sub with CTU. Henderson spots a radio buoy float to the service. Jack speaks with a petty officer that is still alive on the sub. Jack tells him that he needs to kill the Russian guarding an exit so Jack can get in. Henderson demands a gun if he is going into the sub, so Jack gives him one.
• Jack calmly explains how to slit a throat to the petty officer. After all that detailed teaching, the petty officer just ends up stabbing the guy repeatedly in the throat. Jack kills the outside guard and they head into the sub. He sends the petty officer to the other end of the sub to create a distraction. Bierko hears the noise and leaves with his men to go check it out. Jack crawls into the control room and when he gets a signal from a CTU agent, stabs the remaining thug in the neck. Henderson starts working on stopping the missiles. The CTU agent with Jack is immediately killed as they search for Bierko. Jack kills both of Bierko’s men and then goes hand to hand with Bierko. He ends the Bierko fight by using his legs for more neck snapping. Henderson shuts down the missiles and Jack turns of his comm. equipment. When Jack exits the sub, Henderson is waiting for him gun ready. He asks if Jack was ever going to let him go and Jack says no. Henderson pulls the trigger but Jack gave him an unloaded gun. Henderson says good for you. Jack tells him that he is responsible for the deaths of David Palmer, Tony Almeida, and Michelle Dessler and they were friends of his. He then shoots Henderson dead.
• Jack informs CTU that Henderson is dead. He then speaks with Chloe privately. He tells her he is not coming back to CTU; he is going after Logan. He tells Chloe he will need some recording equipment. She says she will need help.
• Logan and Mike share a deep breath after finding out that the sub is secure. When Mike leaves the office, Martha catches him and asks him to follow her.
• Logan and Graem talk about the latest developments and make more cryptic statements about Jack being taken care of.
• Martha brings Mike to the bloody Pierce. They explain what Logan has done and Mike believes them. He hides Pierce in a car and drives him to a safe spot.
• While Mike and Pierce are hiding the dead Secret Service agent’s body, Jack calls. His plan is to kidnap and torture the shit out of Logan. He asks Mike to delay the President from leaving the retreat.
• Chloe brings her request to reinstate Morris to CTU to Karen and Bill. She explains that Morris has been selling woman’s shoes! They agree because they trust Chloe. Morris is already making moves on one of the hotter CTU techs when Chloe comes over. She needs his help on the recording equipment Jack needs.
• Mike tells Martha that Jack needs Logan to delay his departure.
• Jack meets up with Pierce and needs him to get Jack as close to Logan’s helicopter as possible.
• 24 goes to the well once again and Martha sleeps with Charles in order to stall him.
• Mike asks Jack how far he is willing to take this. Jack tells him as far as it takes.

Ridiculousness:

• Really? The United States military can’t sink a sub in it’s own docks in less than 20 minutes?

Running Totals:

Jack’s body count: 6 (139)

• Jack racks up some numbers at the Russian submarine.

Chloe drives a sane man crazy: 1 (13)

• Bill’s response upon reading Morris’ name is classic.
