Jack Bauer on Day 7

This is a description of Jack Bauer's actions during Day 7.

8:00am-9:00am


Following the subpoena served by Frank Tramell, Jack Bauer attended a Senate investigation headed by Senator Blaine Mayer, and was questioned for his torture of Ibrahim Haddad and human rights violations committed by the now-disbanded Counter Terrorist Unit. The investigation was interrupted by FBI Agent Renee Walker, who transported Jack to the FBI headquarters and briefed him about the national security threat presented by Tony Almeida; Jack's former friend who had been presumed dead for nearly six years. Jack simply refused to believe that Almeida was still alive, so Renee explained that the body in Tony's grave was in fact not Tony's body.

Despite Jack's constant insistence to the contrary, Renee said that Tony was involved in some illegal activities, not working in assistance to any government agency. She encouraged Jack to work with Sean Hillinger to track down Tony's whereabouts, which led them to Gabriel Schector, a former off-books supplier of Jack and Tony from their CTU days. They went to see Schector, but he was assassinated by Tony's men before he could say anything. The building was sealed due to a call from Renee to try to track down the sniper.

9:00am-10:00am
The sniper, Alan Tanner while attempting to escape was discovered by Jack. Renee and Jack pursued the sniper on their own to make sure that whoever had compromised the FBI would tell no one else what they were doing.

Washington Office FBI Director Larry Moss called Renee to find out where she was. Jack encouraged her to make up a story about following a lead, but Moss was not convinced. Renee and Jack tracked Tanner to a cargo ship, where he was knocked out and later arrested. Jack managed to shoot out a surveillance camera, which attracted the attention of some of Tony's men, who came out and began to attack Jack and Renee. Masters was shot, and Renee and Jack split up inside the ship. Jack managed to find Tony and chased him outside. After an intense fight Jack managed to overpower him. Renee arrived and told him that the CIP device was gone. At that moment, Moss arrived after tracking Renee's phone.

10:00am-11:00am


Tony was brought into FBI headquarters for the investigation. During his interrogation, Jack attacked Tony and pinned him against the wall. Tony whispered "deep sky" into his ear as Jack released him, an old CTU codeword to call a contact number. Jack called the number and was connected to Bill Buchanan, who explained that he and Chloe O'Brian had been working with Tony to bring down a conspiracy within the government, and that they were working underground as the government had become corrupt and they felt they could trust no one. Jack agreed to help get Tony out to reassume his cover with the crew he was working for.

Renee went to Jack whilst he prepared for the breakout and told him that they were proceeding without him, but that the FBI owed him a lot as they would not have Tony without him. As Jack signed paperwork for her, he put Renee in a sleeper hold and left her on a desk, taking her gun. With the help of Chloe, Jack maneuvered his way through to Tony's interrogation room, and broke him out. They escaped though a window, and Buchanan picked them up from the parking lot.

11:00am-12:00pm
When back at their headquarters, which Buchanan nostagically referred to as "CTU, or at least what's left of it," they explained that Tony had been revived by men hoping that he would turn against the government and become an asset, which he did. However, when the crew's plans changed to involve hurting innocent people, Tony felt they had gone too far and turned to Buchanan and Chloe for help in bringing them down.

Tony called the head of his crew, David Emerson, and said that Jack had broken him out and now wanted to be part of the crew so he could disappear to escape the Senate hearings. Emerson agreed and Tony and Jack went to see him. However, when they got there Emerson changed tack and decided to have Jack killed as he was too much of an unknown. Jack overpowered Emerson's two guards and Emerson, impressed by the scene, decided to allow Jack to be part of the team. They set off to accomplish their latest mission; to kidnap Ule Matobo, the former Prime Minister of Sangala. They arrived at Matobo's suite, but the guards had prior knowledge of their coming and Matobo was safely locked in a panic room that could only be opened from the inside.
