Audrey Raines on Day 5

This is a description of Audrey Raines' actions on Day 5.

7:00am-11:00am


During the events of Day 5, Audrey was serving as an Inter-Agency liaison for the Department of Defense and CTU Los Angeles. She arrived at CTU and was greeted by Bill Buchanan, the Special Agent in Charge. Buchanan briefed Audrey on what they had on the assassination of President David Palmer, which occurred in Los Angeles. Shorty after Palmer's assassination, former CTU agents Michelle Dessler and Tony Almeida were targeted. Michelle was killed in the explosion, and a critical Tony was brought back to CTU.

Both Audrey and Bill agreed that President Charles Logan should postpone the Anti-terrorism treaty signing with Russian President Yuri Suvarov, but Logan refused. When CTU learned there may be a possible attack on Suvarov's helicopter, Logan refused to have it land in another location. Luckily no attacks were made on President Suvarov's helicopter.

Edgar Stiles discovered surveillance footage and he brought it to Bill and Audrey. The footage cleared and it revealed that the sniper who took out Palmer was Jack Bauer. Audrey refused to believe it, as she knew Jack would never murder his friends. Bill came up with the theory that Palmer, Tony, and Michelle all helped fake his death and he could no longer trust them. When Chloe O'Brian was brought to CTU, she revealed that Jack was being set up to take the fall and it was the dying confession of Conrad Haas. Buchanan had Curtis Manning lead a team to an oil refinery to confirm Chloe's story.

Shortly after 9am, Buchanan got a call from Jack and Audrey asked for it to be put on speaker phone. Jack told Buchanan that terrorists have seized control of the Ontario Airport and have taken hostages. After Buchanan got a report about the airport, he agreed to work with Jack and he dispatched Curtis and a TAC team to the location. Jack is able to work with Curtis in performing a rescue operation, but Anton Beresch catches Jack and has Curtis' team change their plan. Luckily Lynn McGill noticed a distress signal and ordered for Curtis and his team to stick to the original plan. The operation turned out to be successful and no further hostages were killed.

11:00am-3:00pm
Lynn demanded for Jack to be brought into CTU, so he could question him about Palmer's assassination. Audrey felt that was unnecessary, as the evidence and Chloe's testimony proved that Jack was set up. Lynn decided to play it by the book and he refused to listen to anybody else's opinions. Curtis later followed up on a lead and was lead to one of the hangars in the airport. CTU learned that terrorists gained possession of 20 canisters of Sentox VX nerve gas, and they managed to smuggle them out of the airport.



With CTU overextended, Lynn asked for Audrey to debrief Diane Huxley. After Diane arrived at CTU with her son Derek, Audrey questioned her on her involvement with Jack and the airport crisis. Audrey asked Diane about her personal relationship with Jack, and Audrey was shocked to see Jack waiting out the door. Audrey excused herself from the room and met up with Jack. Jack explained to Audrey that he couldn't tell her he was alive in order to protect her. Audrey told Jack that she understood and she no longer blamed him for Paul's death.

Audrey is later confronted by Diane, who realized that Audrey and Jack were involved. Diane told Audrey that Jack still loved her and if she didn't feel the way, she should let him go. After an assassin named Hank tried to kill Jack, it was revealed Spenser Wolff was a mole. Spenser confessed that he was just following the orders from the White House. Jack realized that Walt Cummings was involved in Palmer's assassination and the selling of the gas. He decided to meet with Mike Novick, in order to interrogate Cummings.

Audrey asked if Jack would be returning to CTU, and he told her he didn't know. After interrogating Cummings, President Logan asked Jack to work with CTU on a provisional basis. Jack agreed and he asked for Audrey to find his daughter Kim. Audrey told him she would try, but she couldn't get in touch with her. When lead Jacob Rossler is killed, Jack is forced to go undercover as Rossler and meet with Ivan Erwich's men. When Erwich's men force Jack to come with them, Audrey worried for his safety.

Erwich's men brought Jack to the Sunrise Hills Shopping Mall, with the intention of releasing a canister of nerve gas. Audrey felt that they shouldn't sacrifice all the lives of the innocent people in the mall. Lynn was convinced that releasing the gas in the mall would help them find the other 19 canisters. Bill agreed with Lynn's assessment and they called President Logan to get authorization. Logan agreed to let the gas get released, but Jack refused to allow it happen. Though the terrorists managed to release it, Jack managed to have the ventilation system turned off and only 11 people died. When CTU wasn't able to find the other canisters, Lynn demanded for Jack to be taken into custody.

3:00pm-7:00pm


Audrey got a call from James Nathanson, the man who was working with Walt Cummings. Nathanson agreed to help find the nerve gas, but he would only work directly with Jack Bauer. Audrey called Curtis and was able to speak to Jack on the phone. After Jack got off the phone with Audrey, Jack knocked out Curtis and managed to escape. Audrey realized that Lynn would be on to her, so she went to Chloe. Audrey told Chloe to delete her call with Jack off the logs. Chloe had to delete all of them and Lynn knew they were helping Jack, but couldn't find any evidence to prove it.

After Audrey brought Bill into the loop, he agreed to help her. Audrey and Chloe needed Bill to distract Lynn, and Lynn began to become suspicious of Bill. He had security taking Bill into holding and he took command of CTU. When Chloe needed someone to cover for her, Audrey brought Edgar up to what was happening. Lynn eventually realized Chloe was missing and she found her with Audrey. Audrey and Chloe were able to create a cover story, and Lynn threatened to take abrasive measures if the incident happened again.

Chloe and Edgar discovered chatter that hinted their would be an attack on President Suvarov's motorcade route. They took this to Lynn, but he refused to inform the president or Secret Service about the threat. When Audrey took it to Lynn, he threatened to have her thrown out of CTU. Audrey confronted Curtis, who was the ranking agent at CTU. Audrey asked Curtis if he could activate Section 112, which would relieve Lynn from his duties due to mental issues. When Lynn ordered to have security take Edgar and Chloe into holding and escort Audrey out of the building, Curtis activated the code and Buchanan was released from holding.

Buchanan had Secret Service informed about the possible attack, and he informed the president. When the motorcade started to turn around, the terrorists began to attack and a missile was launched at President Suvarov's limousine. Nearly all of the agents were killed and luckily Aaron Pierce was able to take out the remaining hostiles. CTU then learned that former agent Christopher Henderson was involved with the terrorists. Jack decided to interrogate and bring Henderson in by himself, while CTU continued to work on finding out about the Russian separatists.

The Department of Defense got intelligence from Russia, due to the current treaty. Audrey learned that the man funding the terrorist attacks was Vladimir Bierko. Bierko initially wanted to release the gas on Russian soil, but it now became impossible. When CTU learned that Bierko was planning on having Sentox released in the Tyler Memorial Hospital, Buchanan had tactical units sent there. Luckily Curtis and his team were able to find the gas and have it released in a contained area.



A little after 6pm, Kim arrived at CTU with Barry Landes. Audrey called Jack and felt it would be easier if Kim new beforehand that her father was alive. Jack agreed with Audrey's assessment, and she went up to the field operations office. When Audrey asked to speak to Kim alone, Barry assured her it was fine and revealed he was a clinical psychologist. Audrey told Kim that her father was alive and she was shocked. Audrey told her that she just found out this morning and that her father didn't tell her about her whereabouts in order to protect her.

Later in the hour, Lynn learned his sister and her boyfriend were professionally killed and he reported his CTU key card was with them. When Buchanan learned someone used Lynn's card to get into CTU, he ordered a lockdown. Jack found Ostroff, the hostile, and realized he was having Sentox released in the building. Buchanan called a Code 6 and Jack asked Audrey to get Kim. The gas was coming to the bullpen and Chloe was able to seal off a few rooms. Audrey stayed in the Situation Room with Chloe, Jack, Kim, Barry, and a few others. They watched in horror as Edgar ran in the bullpen and died.

7:00pm-11:00pm
Jack expressed his feelings to Audrey that if anything happened to his daughter, it would be all his fault. Audrey assured Jack that he had no idea Sentox would be released and he shouldn't blame himself. When the gas began breaking through the seals, Chloe needed to access the air conditioning system to flourish the gas away. A program interfered and Jack had to go in a contaminated area to access it. When Jack was able to get to it, Lynn and Harry Swinton served as sacrifices. Lynn's efforts stopped the gas from spreading and eventually the gas was flourished out of the building.

Henderson managed to escape from CTU and he killed Tony Almeida in the process. Both President Logan and Vice President Hal Gardner decided it would be best to activate Martial law, though they called it a curfew to avoid getting permission from Congress. A team from the Department of Homeland Security arrived on sight and they coordinated with CTU. Bill learned from Karen Hayes that she has instructions to absorb CTU into Homeland. Buchanan concealed this information from Audrey and the CTU staff.



After Jack interrogated Collette Stenger, a broker who was hired by Bierko, Jack informed Buchanan and Hayes that Stenger named Audrey was her contact from DOD. Hayes had Audrey brought into holding and she ordered for Rick Burke to prep for a medical interrogation. Luckily Bill and Jack were able to convince her to let Jack speak to her for 10 minutes. Jack interrogated Audrey and spoke to her about her night with Walt Cummings in a hotel. Audrey confessed they had an affair and she was embarrassed, as he was revealed to be a traitor. Jack realized Audrey was innocent, but Hayes went forward with the medical interrogation. Audrey's hands and barefeet were strapped down to a chair.

Jack was able to prove that Stenger had contact with Henderson, breaking the presidential immunity she had received. Jack knocked out a US Marshal and threatened to kill Stenger if she didn't reveal what she knew. Stenger confessed that Henderson told her to implicate Audrey if she was caught, and Bierko was planning to release the gas from an industrial gas company. Jack demanded for Burke to stop the interrogation, and he told Audrey everything would be all right. After Audrey was checked out at medical, she decided to come back to work.

Jack and Curtis lead a team over to the Wilshire Gas Company and they managed to take out all of the hostiles. Bierko escaped after releasing the gas and Jack was forced to blow up the building. When Jack got a visual on Bierko, he went after him and was caught in the wave of the explosion. Audrey worried that Jack may of been killed, but he luckily emerged with an unconscious Bierko. Jack then informed Audrey that he wasn't coming back to CTU, as Wayne Palmer and Aaron Pierce had a lead on who was behind the day's events. Jack believed that Vice President Gardner may of been involved in Palmer's assassination and the Sentox plot.



Karen and Miles Papazian asked to see Audrey and they wanted her to sign the document. The document blamed Buchanan and CTU for all of the faults in the day. Audrey refused to sign it, as she felt Buchanan and CTU did an excellent job during the coarse of the day. When Jack called Audrey and told her he would need someone inside CTU, Audrey decided to sign the document. Audrey asked for Chloe to be kept at CTU and report directly to her in exchange. Karen met this request and Buchanan gave Audrey a disappointed look as he left the building.

Jack revealed to Audrey that Evelyn Martin, the assistant of First Lady Martha Logan, had evidence that proved who was behind the day's events. Jack told her whoever it is, they would have huge connections and would be after them. After saving Evelyn's daughter Amy from Henderson's men, Jack called Audrey to tell her who the mastermind behind the day's events where. Audrey was shocked when Jack told her that Evelyn implicated President Logan.

11:00pm-3:00am
Jack told Audrey that they would need to hand over the evidence to someone with big ties, mainly her father. When Logan learned that Jack knew about his involvement in the day's events, he had an arrest warrant put out for Jack. After the warrant was issued, Audrey decided to leave CTU and Miles was sure that Audrey would lead them directly to Bauer.



Audrey called her father, who was headed back to Washington. Audrey asked him to meet her in Los Angeles, and Heller agreed to land at the Van Nuys Airfield. While Audrey stopped at a gas station, Chloe gave her instructions on how to find the transponder on her car. Audrey found it and she dumped it on a truck. Audrey arrived at the airport and she got confirmation from Jack that he had the audio recording implicating Logan in hand. Jack told her he would be at the airport after bringing Wayne to a secure location. Jack brought Wayne to Bill Buchanan's house and brought him into the loop on the situation.

After Heller landed, he hugged her daughter and asked what this was about. Heller was shocked when Jack arrived and asked to speak to him in private. Heller informed Masters and his other guard to wait outside, while he talked to Jack and Audrey inside the warehouse. After Heller heard the conversation, he took it and left the warehouse. He came back in with his Secret Service detail and punched Jack in the throat. Heller told him he was going to force Logan to step down, as the country shouldn't suffer an impeachment process. He gave the recording to Masters and asked him to watch Jack. When Heller told his daughter to come with him, she refused and Heller asked Masters to keep on eye on her.

Jack and Audrey were detained and tied up in a room. Jack was able to break the rope and he untied Audrey. He knocked out one of the Secret Service agents and he told Audrey to wait inside. Jack was able to get the recording from Masters, but Henderson's men arrived. Masters ended up getting shot and killed and Jack had to fight off all of Henderson's men, while Henderson managed to sneak into the airport warehouse.



Henderson found Audrey and he took her hostage, as Jack arrived. Henderson agreed to let Audrey go, if Jack gave up the recording. Audrey told Jack not to give in his demands, and Jack gave up the recording after Henderson cut Audrey's artery open and had her walk towards Jack. After Henderson received the recording, he shot towards Audrey and escaped. Jack grabbed Audrey and placed her on the floor. He tied her up her arm in order to stop the bleeding and he was able to find Henderson with help from Chloe.

Jack was able to run Henderson off the road, who escaped into an old barn. When Henderson tried to put a new clip into his firearm, Jack caught up with him and told him it was over. Jack took Henderson into custody, who told him that he had a chopper tracking Heller and if his men didn't get a call every 15 minutes, they have orders to kill him. Jack called Heller to confirm if a chopper was following him. Heller told Jack he should of done things differently and he told Jack to tell Audrey he loved her. Heller drove his car into a lake and Audrey was devastated.

When Jack learned that Henderson passed the recording off to someone on Flight 520, he decided he needed to board the plane but he wouldn't leave Audrey alone with Henderson. Audrey told Jack to go and they she would be fine, as Curtis was on his way. When Henderson woke up from his unconsciousness, he tried to trick Audrey into using her phone to get her father help, which would have led Henderson's men to their location. Audrey knew he was trying to use her and warned him to stop speaking. His men then arrived, and Audrey attempted to shoot and kill Henderson, but she wasn't able to and she ran off.



As Audrey was hiding from Henderson's men, she was grabbed from behind and was grateful to see it was Curtis. Curtis had his men move in and take out all of Henderson's men. Henderson was brought into custody and Curtis ordered for him to be brought back to CTU. Curtis asked for a medic to check Audrey out and for her to be brought to CTU medical.

3:00am-7:00am
While recovering in CTU Medical, Audrey thanked Curtis for saving her life. Curtis then informed her that the National Guard picked up her father and he was alive. He was in ICU and was critical, but he would make it. Audrey was grateful to Curtis and she was later visited by Jack. Jack told her that he had secured the evidence and a meeting with the Attorney General was being prepped. The two of them shared a tender moment together, and kissed.

Audrey later discovered that Miles erased the recording and earned a position in President Logan's administration. It was then confirmed that Bierko managed to escape and is planning a bigger attack. Hayes ordered for Jack to offer Henderson immunity, and Audrey was horrified over that fact. Audrey explained to Jack that Henderson was responsible for Palmer, Michelle, and Tony's death, as well as her father's condition. Jack told her he understood that, but they had no other choice.



With Henderson's help, it was learned that Bierko planned on taking over the Russian ship the Natalia. Though Jack managed to warn the crew, Bierko was able to kill the crew with a canister of nerve gas. He then armed the missiles on the ship and prepared to have them launched. Audrey contacted Admiral Kirkland and told him they had less than 20 minutes to stop the missiles. Kirkland sent out F-18's, but he told Audrey they wouldn't make it in time and it was up to the ground times to stop the attack.

With help from Petty Officer Rooney, Jack, Henderson, and Agent McCullough were able to get on the ship. Henderson disarmed the missiles, while Jack handled Bierko and his men. In the operation, Jack managed to kill Bierko and all of the hostiles. When Chloe learned that Henderson disarmed the missiles, she told Audrey to have Kirkland call of the F-18's. Jack then reported that Henderson was dead, as he tried to fire on him. Jack concealed the fact that he killed Henderson in cold blood, in order to avenge the deaths of Palmer, Michelle, and Tony.

With help from First Lady Logan, Aaron Pierce, and Mike Novick, Jack was able to gain access to the helicopter transporting Logan to Palmer's funeral. Jack kidnapped Logan and tried to get him to confess to everything he did. Jack was unable to get Logan to confess, and he was taken into custody. However, it was so learned Jack placed a device on Logan's pen and a conversation between Logan and his wife implicated him in the day's events. After giving Palmer's eulogy, Logan was taken into custody.



Jack was released and he reunited with Audrey. The two of them shared a passionate kiss, but an agent came out and told Jack that he had a call from a Kim Bauer. Jack told Audrey he had to take it and Audrey told him to go ahead. After Jack was gone for a while, Audrey went inside the building and discovered the phone hanging from the hook. She became worried and told a Secret Service agent about Jack's disappearance. Jack was kidnapped by Cheng Zhi's men and was being transported to China, for his involvement in the death of Consul Koo Yin's death 18 months earlier.
