The following takes place between 9:00am and 10:00am

09:00:00
Beresch informs the hostages that their survival is dependent on their cooperation. A hostage reaches for his cellphone, but is promptly executed. Beresch demands that all the remaining hostages hand over their pagers and cellphones, then call the police outside, reminding them that he and his men have explosives wired to their vests.

Jack remains hidden as Beresch's men search for Chevensky, and sneaks his way into the ceiling. He uses his cellphone to call CTU, and informs Buchanan and Audrey Raines of the hostage situation. Bill suggests that Jack sneak out of the airport and turn himself in, but Jack insists that they need him as an inside man. He uses his phone's camera to take pictures of the terrorists, then hangs up to search for a better vantage point. Bill tells Audrey to notify President Logan of the hostage situation.

Logan and Yuri Subarov are about to begin the summit, which is described as a tribute to Palmer's legacy, when Mike Novick informs them of the hostage situation.

Spenser Wolff sends plans of the airport terminal to Jack's phone, while Edgar attempts to match photos of the terrorists to their database. He manages to identify Beresch as a former officer in the Russian Army. Chloe O'Brian is called in to assist in his data mining.

Beresch dons a mask and makes a televised broadcast, where he announces that he will execute all of the hostages unless the summit is abandoned. The President has 90 minutes to comply.

Curtis Manning meets with police outside the airport, setting up a makeshift command post. He calls Jack, who agrees to coordinate his assault team from the inside. Diane Huxley approaches Curtis during the phone call, telling him that her son, Derek, is still inside. Jack promises to bring Derek safely outside.

09:21:17
Buchanan forwards President Logan his intel on Beresch, but Logan tells him that he will not abandon the summit, so CTU must defuse the situation before Beresch's deadline. Chloe finds Beresch's phone number, and Bill attempts to negotiate with him. Beresch executes another hostage to remind them how serious he is. He then grabs Derek, threatening to execute him in fifteen minutes. Derek is frightened.

09:26:34... 09:26:35... 09:25:36

09:31:02
As Jack observes through his vantage point, a device on one of the terrorists' vest gets his attention. He photographs it and sends it to Chloe. She discovers that it is a device that can detonate the explosive vests by remote. She begins working on decrypting its frequency.

Aaron Pierce arrives to escort Martha Logan to the garden room. Her assistant, Evelyn covers for her as she searches for a transcript of her phone call with President Palmer. She corners one of the communications workers, Burke, and threatens to make it seem as though he sexually assaulted her if he doesn't give her his key card to the transcript room. He gives in and she gets the card.

09:37:38... 09:37:39... 09:37:40

09:42:04
Curtis prepares his team outside the airport, and tells Buchanan that they will be ready to take the terminal in 15 minutes.

As Beresch is about to execute Derek, Jack receives the detonator frequency and kills one of the terrorists, which buys time for Derek as the other terrorists rush to find out what happened. Beresch concludes that the vest detonated by accident. Buchanan calls President Logan and tells him that Jack is coordinating their efforts from inside.

09:48:02... 09:48:03... 09:48:04

09:52:25
Martha Logan searches the archives and finds the page she is looking for just as Aaron Pierce realizes that she is not in her room.

Walt Cummings calls James Nathanson and tells him that Jack is coordinating with the CTU assault team from inside the airport. He also reveals that Jack seems to have a personal connection to one of the hostages. Nathanson forwards this information to Beresch.

Jack is about to give final positions of the terrorists to Curtis Manning, when Beresch unleashes a signal that scrambles Jack's cell phone. He then calls out to Jack, threatening to execute Derek unless he joins the hostages. Jack subsequently surrenders himself.

Memorable Quotes

 * Jack Bauer: Understand this, Bill-I don't work for you. Now, if you want my intel, we are going to do this my way.


 * Martha Logan: Mr. Burke, you are going to give me that card within three seconds, or I am going to scream louder than any woman you've ever seen.


 * Martha Logan: Evelyn, stop apologizing. It's annoying.  Besides, I got what I came for.


 * Bill Buchanan: You managed to rack up four protocol violations.
 * Chloe O'Brian: Well, it's a lot worse than that if you count agency doc codes. It's more like twenty-six violations.


 * Bill Buchanan: Were you able to identify the terrorists from the photos Jack sent?
 * Edgar Stiles: Still no matches on the watch list. I tried three different coding arrays.
 * Bill Buchanan: Did you try widening the parameters?
 * Edgar Stiles: If it was any wider, we could use the phone book.
