Day 7: 3:00 PM - 4:00 PM

Characters Introduced:

  • Rosa Donoso (Andi Chapman): Marika’s wheelchair bound sister who doesn’t trust Dubaku.

Returning Characters:

None

Key Moments:

  • Vossler delivers Henry to one of Dubaku’s men.
  • Dubaku enters his safehouse beneath a convenience store. Vossler takes off and Dubaku asks Henry if his wife loves him enough to call off the invasion of Sangala.
  • Ethan tells Taylor who is accompanying Matobo. She is confused but agrees to meet with them. Matobo greets Taylor and then leaves to meet with his people. Jack, Bill, and Renee explain themselves. In a shocking 24 twist, Taylor doesn’t instantly flip out and arrest them. When they say they want to capture Dubaku, his call to Taylor arrives. He wants to trade Henry for Matobo. Everyone listens as Henry is threatened then has one of his fingers nearly sawed off. After the call, Ethan gives the update on Samantha and Gedge, which proves that there are bent agents inside the government. Taylor still refuses to give in to Dubaku even with her husband being at risk. Jack steps up and offers his assistance along with Renee since they are off the books. Taylor steps in some shit when she questions Jack’s loyalties. Jack’s back stiffens as he says, “with all due respect Madame President, ask around.”
  • Ethan brings Jack and Renee into a private room and they get to work. Renee says they will need Larry’s help to get the phone records on Gedge. She says he can be trusted and Jack relents. Renee calls Larry but he will only help if he meets her in person.
  • Jack and Renee meet Larry at some picturesque spot in the middle of DC. Larry says that Gedge spoke repeatedly with Vossler. Vossler was former Special Forces with connections to Sangala. Jack doesn’t help his public image when his first thought is to threaten Vossler’s family since they need to break him fast. Larry and Renee are offended but Jack has had enough and tells them that sacrifices must be made in times of crisis. Renee relents but Larry is pissed off at Jack. Jack tells him that no one else is playing by Larry’s rules.
  • Ethan and Bill pitch Taylor with a plan to send a double of Matobo to appease Dubaku for as long as possible.
  • Jack is on the road while Larry tracks Vossler.
  • Renee arrives at Vossler’s home and takes part in some kidnapping and hostage holding.
  • Jack needs to make up ground so he drives like a maniac the wrong way down a one-way street. He t-bones Vossler at an intersection in a scene where good money was spent. Jack drags Vossler out of the car and tosses him into a building. He starts questioning him but Vossler denies. Jack calls Renee. Vossler’s family is put on the phone and he listens in as his wife freaks out because Renee is leaning over the crib. Vossler cracks and Jack tells Renee to stand down. She is sad. Vossler gives up the location of the convenience store. A guy walks in and distracts Jack allowing Vossler to pull a knife. A fight breaks out and Jack stabs Vossler in the chest with his own knife. Jack then carjacks a new ride and speeds off.
  • Dubaku is told that Matobo has left the White House and the fleet outside Sangala is moving off.
  • Renee arrives at the convenience store and waits for Jack.
  • The fake Matobo won’t get out of the limo so Dubaku has his men send a missile blowing up the limo.
  • Jack screeches to a halt and he and Renee head into the convenience store. Jack grabs the cashier hostage and drags him to the back of the store. He opens the locked door and Jack knocks him out. Jack hand signals some directions to Renee and she starts heading down. Dubaku calls and tells his men to kill Henry and pack up. Renee is spotted and Jack begins the shootout. He and Renee wipe out the room but one man drags himself to Henry and shoots him in the chest before Jack can finish him off. GET AN AMBULANCE!

Ridiculousness:

  • What the fucking fuck is written in Jack’s file? How can anyone question his loyalties to the United States? You can talk about his tactics and the lengths he will go, but there can be no question of his goals. This day really pisses me off.

Running Totals:

Jack’s body count: 5 (217)

  • Vossler is added to the list.
  • Jack gets 4 more beneath the convenience store.
