Jack Bauer on Day 6

This is a description of Jack Bauer's actions during Day 6.

Day 6
During the beginning of Day 6, America was suffering from a series of terrorist attacks, that began 11 weeks earlier. Terrorist Abu Fayed was willing to give up the leader of the attacks, Hamri Al-Assad, if he received two things in return, $25 million and Jack Bauer. President Wayne Palmer was forced to agree with Fayed's terms and the Chinese agreed to release Jack into CTU Los Angeles's custody.

Bill Buchanan and Curtis Manning picked up Jack from Cheng Zhi and they told him about the exchange. Learning that Kim and Audrey didn't know about his release, he agreed to be used as a sacrifice. Jack was let go into the custody of Fayed and he was brutally tortured. Jack then learned that Fayed was responsible for the attacks and Assad came to America to stop him and bring peace between his organizations and the West. When Jack learned of this, he escaped and contacted CTU with the information.

When President Palmer learned that Assad wasn't responsible for the attacks, he was reluctant to call of the strike. With pressure from Thomas Lennox and Karen Hayes, Wayne decided to go through with the strike. However, Jack was able to arrive and warn Assad about the attack. Together they managed to escape in time and they decided to stop Fayed on their own.

After Jack stopped a train bomb from occurring, CTU and President Palmer learned that Jack was right about Assad and they agreed to work with him and Assad on the case. However, the lead Jack and Curtis followed committed suicide and Assad didn't know any other information that would give up Fayed's location. It was very clear that Curtis was uncomfortable working with Assad.

President Palmer decides that Jack is the best man to run the operation and Jack agreed to do it. When a woman named Jillian Wallace claims that her son Scott Wallace is being held hostage by a terrorist, Jack realizes she is telling the truth when she mentions Fayed's name. Curtis and Jack follow up on the lead, but unfortunately the terrorist, Ahmed Amar died before giving any information up. However, Scott was able to tell them about an address his father, Ray Wallace, was forced to go to by Ahmed.



Assad agreed to work with CTU on the case if President Palmer gave him a pardon for past crimes in writing. Jack told Curtis about it, and though he didn't like it, he seemed to accept it. Chloe O'Brian then contacted Jack and told him about Curtis and Assad's history. Curtis then grabbed Assad by the neck and was preparing to kill him. With no other choice, Jack was forced to shoot Curtis in the neck, which lead to his death. Moments later a nuclear bomb went off, at the location Scott gave up.

After the nuclear bomb went off, Jack saw no other choice but to continue working on the case, despite being forced to kill one of his close friends. After helping civilians, Jack learns that his father, Phillip Bauer, had recent contact with Dmitri Gredenko, a name that Assad gave up. Jack decided to follow up on this lead himself and when Phillip was missing in action, he decided to confront his brother Graem Bauer, who unbeknowst to Jack, was responsible for the events that took place 20 months earlier.

When Graem didn't give Jack any answers on their father's location, Jack was forced to torture his brother by suffocating him with a plastic bag. Eventually Graem caved in and told Jack that their father was at the family company, BXJ Technologies. Jack learned that Graem had access to give Soviet suitcase nukes and an employee, Darren McCarthy, sold them to Fayed. Graem and Jack's father seeked out to handle the mess, hoping to prevent Graem from facing prison time.

Jack contacted Chloe and told her to send two field units to Elegra Global. After arriving at the company, Jack handcuffed Graem in McCarthy's office and was attacked by a guard. He then came face to face with his father, who eventually agreed to let CTU in the loop of the situation. Just as Jack began calling CTU, Graem had his father's guards take Phillip and Jack into custody. Phillip was shocked to see that his son was responsible for killing CTU agents, and he was loaded into a van with Jack.

Jack and his father were brought to a remote location to be killed, but Phillip refused to get on his knees. He began yelling at one of the guards, while Jack struggled with the other, which ultimately lead Jack to shooting one of the guards. Jack planned on interrogating the other guard, but Phillip shot and killed him before he had a chance. Jack then contacted Bill Buchanan at CTU and gave him an update of what was happening. Jack told Bill to see field units to surround his brother's home.

Jack and CTU stormed into Graem's house and Graem ultimately surrendered, realizing he was out-numbered. Jack had Rick Burke set up an interrogation, and he told Marilyn about the current situation. Marilyn was new what her husband was capable of, but was furious with Jack's actions. She warned him to keep her son Joshua out of it, by not telling him anything. Jack then began to interrogate Graem, demanding for the location of Darren McCarthy.

Burke told Jack that the machine showed deception and Graem was holding something back. Jack ordered for Burke to give Graem more than 8 cc's and eventually Graem confessed to a crime that had nothing to do with McCarthy. Graem revealed he ordered the assassination of President David Palmer, Tony Almeida, and Michelle Dessler nearly two years earlier. Jack was willing to kill Graem, but when Phillip looked in, he stopped himself.

Jack headed back to CTU, and he told Burke to transport Graem back to CTU once he was physically capable of doing so. Whil heading back to CTU, Bill called Jack and told him that the engineer Fayed needs to retrigger his suitcase nukes is Morris O'Brian, who left to visit his brother in the hospital. Chloe was able to contact Morris on the phone, but McCarthy showed up and kidnapped Morris before he was able to escape. Jack arrived back at CTU and went into a chopper, planning to rescue Morris before he is forced to do the unthinkable.

After losing Fayed's location, Jack was able to intercept a call that was placed to LAPD. Jack discovered Darren McCarthy's body, and a witnessed identified that a blonde woman shot him and drove off with someone matching Morris' description. After looking through McCarthy's cell phone, Chloe was able to find the location of Fayed. Jack and Agent Al Turner were able to lead an operation to storm Fayed's apartment.

After taking out all of the hostiles, Jack discovered that Fayed had managed to escape and Morris was critically unjured. When Jack discovered a suitcase nuke, he managed to disarm it with help from Chloe. Jack then learned from Morris, that Fayed has a device that will allow him to detonate the remaining three bombs.

After arriving back at CTU, Jack was questioned by Buchanan for his actions in Graem's interrogation. When Bill wanted to cover up the report, in order to avoid an Internal Affairs investigation, Jack refused to allow this to happen. It then became apparent that Gredenko was involved with Fayed, and was somewhere in Los Angeles.

After questioning his father about Gredenko, Jack spoke to Marilyn and she revealed that she followed Graem to a house one evening, and overheard her husband speaking to men with Russian accents. Jack and Marilyn left the building, in order for her to identify the house, and Milo and a CTU team was placed 6 blocks behind them. When Marilyn identified the wrong house because Phillip threatened to kill Josh, Jack and CTU stormed it and discovered a bomb was inside. Jack jumped out of the window moments before the house was blown up.

Jack contacts Buchanan and tells him about the ambush, but of them speculate that Gredenko was behind it. Jack is then lead to a junkyard, killing two hostiles and in the result saving Milo's life. Kozelek threatens to kill Marilyn, but Jack claimed if he wanted her dead, she would be dead already. After Jack threatened to use his weapon on Kozelek, he decides to surrender and Jack has Milo watch him.



Jack then grabs Marilyn and throws her against the fall, accusing her of tipping of Gredenko. Marilyn eventually confesses that it wasn't Gredenko's man who ambushed Jack's team, it was Phillip's. Marilyn tells Jack that Phillip was the one who killed Graem and he threatened to kill Josh if she didn't take Jack to the location he gave her. After Jack promises to do everything in his power to rescue Josh, Marilyn gives up the location of Gredenko's home.

Jack calls Bill and tells him to send a TAC team to Gredenko's home, and send a smaller unit to the junkyard. While Milo is being treated, Jack has Kozelek call Phillip and tell him Marilyn won't give up Marilyn's location. Jack informs Marilyn to not negotiate with Phillip and only agree to cooperate if she gets Josh back. With no other way of finding Gredenko, Phillip agrees to Marilyn's terms and tells Kozelek to bring Marilyn to the hotel he is staying at.

After giving Marilyn a bullett proof vest, Jack enters his father's hotel room with Kozelek and Marilyn. When he discovers Phillip isn't there, he gets a phone call from his father. Marilyn and Jack discover Phillip is in the building across the street, pointing a gun to Josh. Jack offers his father a deal, he will surrender in exchange for Josh's release. Phillip agrees to these terms, but demands for his son to come alone and unarmed. When Jack arrives and it is proven he is unarmed, Josh is released and Jack tells him his mother is waiting in the stairwell.

Phillip tells his son to get on his knees, preparing to execute him. Phillip admits that Gredenko blackmailed him when he learned about Phillip's role in the assassination of David Palmer. Jack then confesses to the real reasons why he left the family all of those years ago, and he then realizes that Phillip left. Jack runs out to the roof and notices his father left a PDA behind, with a number on it. When Jack calls it, he is shocked to learn it is Charles Logan's cell phone. Logan tells Jack to meet with him if he wants Gredenko.

Jack had Marilyn and Josh brought back to CTU, and he assured Josh that once the crisis is over, he would explain to him everything that happened with his father and grandfather. Jack called CTU and told Bill that he has a new lead and it was Charles Logan. Buchanan sent a chopper over to Jack's location and he also set a 5-block perimeter, so Phillip Bauer could be found and arrested. Bauer arrived at Logan's estate and told him that he didn't trust him.

Logan told him that the Russian ambassador was involved in the Sentox conspiracy and he also had dealings with Gredenko. Logan told him that the ambassador wouldn't give up any information, unless he spoke with him. Jack called President Palmer and told him the only way to find Gredenko and Fayed would to give Logan provisional freewill. Palmer reluctantly accepted and Bauer dressed up as a Secret Service agent, in order to go undercover with Logan.

While Logan and Jack were on their way to the consulate, Jack was contacted by Buchanan. Jack learned that there was an assassination attempt on President Palmer, and it was too early to know the extent of his injuries. Buchanan informed Jack that the biggest lead they had was Assad, and Jack felt that didn't make any sense. Buchanan told Jack that it didn't matter if Assad was responsible or not, as he was killed in the explosion. After Jack and Logan arrived at the consulate, Jack agreed for Logan to speak to Consul Markov himself, but Logan must stay within 20 feet of him.

Logan told Jack that Markov claimed to not have spoken to Gredenko in over a year, but Logan was convinced that he was lying. Jack decided to go back into the consulate and interrogate Markov himself. Logan advised Jack that would be a foolish decision, as he spent two years in a Chinese prison for raiding the Chinese consulate. Jack felt this was the only way to get to Gredenko and stop the suitcase nukes from going off.

With help from Chloe, Jack was able to have the power at the consulate shut off and he managed to sneak into Markov's office. Markov noticed Bauer snuck in and set off his alarm, and Jack held him at gunpoint. Jack told the guards that he would kill Markov if they attempted to intervene and attempt to apprehend him. Jack interrogated Markov, but he insisted that he hadn't spoken to Gredenko in over a year. When Jack began to cut off Markov's fingers, Markov confessed that Gredenko was somewhere in the North Valley and planned on releasing the nukes through drone planes.



Jack attempted to call CTU to share his Intel, but the Russian guards set off a bomb and apprehended Bauer. Markov instructed for Bauer to be kept under watch and for him to speak to no one. Jack managed to convince a guard to call CTU and give them the information he found out about. The guard attempted to warn Bill Buchanan about Gredenko's whereabouts and plans, but Vasili killed him and hung up the phone.

Under the orders of Markov, Vasili brought Jack to a lower level floor and planned on executing him. While Vasili was distracted, Jack was able to get Vasili's gun and kill him. Jack escaped to a phone and was able to get in touch with Morris. Jack told Morris that he knew where Gredenko was, but Markov had the communications shut down before Jack could give Morris his Intel. Jack eventually found a room to hide in, where Elena and Leon. Jack claimed that he didn't kill Stovich and had Leon get him a mobile phone.



By the time Leon came back with the phone, a TAC team raided the consulate, under the authorization of Buchanan and Russian President Yuri Suvarov. Russian guards infiltrated the room Jack was in and Leon was killed in the crossfire. Jack eventually ran out of ammunition, but CTU field agents were able to diffuse of the remaining hostiles. Jack was confronted by Mike Doyle, the new Director of Field Operations, and he gave Doyle his Intel.

After Jack left the consulate, he wanted to join the CTU search for Gredenko. Doyle told him that he had to go back to CTU and be checked into medical. Once Jack arrived at CTU, he learned from Buchanan that Gredenko and Fayed managed to escape, but in the process they launched one of the drones. Buchanan told Jack that CTU could handle the situation and he needed to be examined in medical.

Before Jack got checked out by CTU's medical staff, he met with Marilyn. Marilyn told him about how she regretted how things ended with them, and Jack told her he was with someone before being kidnapped by the Chinese. When Marilyn realized he was referring to Audrey Raines, she told him that she was dead. Marilyn revealed that Audrey died in a car accident in China, making Jack realize that she was looking for him.

Jack was outraged over not be informed about Audrey's death and he demanded for Chloe to get him her file. Chloe told him that she would have to go to archive and she revealed that Audrey was the one who figured out Jack was in China. Audrey spent the last year looking through back channels, trying to find him. Jack glanced over at Buchanan in anger, as Buchanan concealed Audrey's death from him during the entire day.



After being checked out by the doctors, Jack looked over Audrey's file in one of the medical rooms. When he noticed that a TAC team was preparing to leave, Jack learned that CTU had a location on the drone. Jack confronted Buchanan and insisted to allow him to finish the investigation. Buchanan met his request and Jack also revealed that once the nuclear crisis was over, he would go after the people who murdered Audrey, as he was convinced it wasn't a car accident.

Jack and Doyle arrived at the location and managed to kill two hostiles. The pilot attempted to retaliate, but he was shot and was barely breathing. With help from tactical support at CTU, Jack was able to prevent the drone from hitting San Francisco. The drone landed in an industrial park, but the crash landing caused the suitcase nuke to expose radioactive poisoning. The casualty rate was minimum and chemical support teams were sent to the park.
