Before Day One
Before Day 1 began, Baylor, under instructions from Richard Walsh, analyzed the key cards of all CTU employees, looking for suspicious information. He found one incriminating key card, but did not know to whom it belonged.

Like Walsh, Baylor knew he could trust Jamey Farrell because he was one of the people who helped train her how to use the CTU systems. Baylor put his family on a flight to Canada and asked Walsh to meet him secretly at 2350 Dunlop Plaza to get the incriminating keycard.

Day One
At 2350 Dunlop Plaza, Baylor met with Walsh and gave him the incriminating keycard. He explained to Walsh that the magnetic strip on the keycard had an embedded file with a great deal of data that could be smuggled out of a restricted area.

Racked with nervousness, Baylor wanted to resign and be with his family, but Walsh convinced him to remain at CTU and help uncover the people responsible for the threat on Senator Palmer. Baylor agreed to help for the next 24 hours, but insisted he would join his family after that. As Walsh and Baylor prepared to leave, unknown assassins shot at them. Walsh was hit in the arm, and Baylor was killed.
