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 his.

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 Alan Tanner, one of 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
While Tanner attempted to escape, he was discovered by Jack. He and Renee 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 in a helicopter after tracking Renee's phone.

10:00am-11:00am


Tony was brought into the FBI headquarters for the investigation. During his interrogation, Jack attacked Tony and pinned him against the wall. Tony whispered the words "deep sky" into his ear as Jack released him. This happened to be 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 and keycard. 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 nostalgically 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 meet him at a house on 2211 Chesterfield. However, when they got there Emerson changed his mind and decided to kill Jack 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.

12:00pm-1:00pm
Jack watched as Emerson beat up Matobo's Head of Security, Zeze Eto'o, trying to force him to open the door. Jack tried to break in from the back, but his efforts were unsuccessful due to the reinforced concrete. Emerson threatened Eto'o, telling Matobo that if he did not come out, Eto'o would be killed. Eto'o said he would be willing to die. Just as Emerson was about to shoot him, his phone rang; the FBI. Emerson realized that the FBI knew they were there, and Tanner must have talked. Litvak said that they had to go, but Jack said that he had a plan of how to get them out. He said he could flush out the Matobos by combining some substances that should be in the kitchen to make ammonium dysterate. Despite Litvak's protests, Emerson told Jack to go ahead, and for Tony to help him.

Jack prepared the substance with Tony, and by 12:15pm, he put a bowl with it into the ventilation system. As the smoke of it went through the ventilation system and into the safe room, Emerson informed Matobo of what they had done. After some time passed, Litvak became anxious and told Jack to put more gas in. However, Jack said it would kill them instantly if they did so. Inside, Matobo's wife, Alama, finally gave in and opened the door. The two were hauled out by Jack and Tony and taken to their van outside.



As they got in, Litvak approached Emerson and showed him the FBI Agent, Renee Walker, he had found at the location. Renee rebuked Jack for betraying her. Emerson planned to shoot her, but Jack stopped him arguing that they should find out what the FBI had gotten from Tanner. The crew drove away, and Emerson called Nichols, asking him to use their asset in the FBI to discover what Tanner told the authorities. Nichols explained that Walker knew nothing apart from the attack on Matobo, and he advised Emerson to kill her before they arrived.

Emerson told Litvak to go to Morrison Avenue as there was a construction site there where they could dump Renee's body. Around 12:55pm, they arrived at the construction site, and Emerson told Jack to shoot Renee and put her in a ditch. Jack forced Renee out of the van and took her over a ditch. He turned her around, and whispered in her ear, "If you trust me, I will get you through this alive." He pushed her to her knees, and shot her close to the neck and then kicking her into the ditch. After covering her with a plastic sheet, he and Tony buried her.

1:00pm-2:00pm
Emerson arrived with Jack and Tony at Northwoods Airfield, where Emerson realized that he was set up and held Jack hostage. During the confrontation, Tony shot Emerson in the arm, and then proceeded to shoot him fatally in the neck, saving Jack. After this, Bill Buchanan and Chloe O'Brian arrived, after rescuing Renee. Bill told Jack about the plane crash at Washington, DC and he explained the situation to the Matobos and asked them to cooperate with them in order to capture and stop Iké Dubaku. Jack also apologized to Renee and explained why he did what he did.

As Chloe wired the Matobos, Jack took cover with a sniper rifle in one of the hangar's higher levels. Shortly after, Nichols arrived to meet with Tony and pick up the Matobos. After taking them, Nichols signaled for one of his men to shoot Tony, but Jack shot him first. Tony then told Nichols to leave.



2:00pm-3:00pm
Using the transmitter on Matobo, Jack and the rest tracked Nichols to the Ritter Building where Dubaku was directing the attacks. As they entered the building, Jack and Renee went through a crawlspace that led to Dubaku's server room, while Tony and Bill waited outside the room. When the time was right, they raided the room killing Nichols and his men and destroying the CIP device. Dubaku, however, managed to escape.

After returning to Bill's safe house, Jack agreed with Chloe that they needed to contact other agencies for help. Bill refused to do so because of the corruption, but then reluctantly agreed. When Matobo assured them that they could trust President Taylor, they arranged a meeting with her at the White House. As Jack prepared to leave with Bill and Matobo, Tony told them he would stay behind because he was still a fugitive. Jack told him that he needed to surrender himself and Tony assured him that he would after they captured Dubaku.

3:00pm-4:00pm
Jack, Bill, and Renee arrived at the White House with Ule Matobo and explained their operation to President Taylor. Despite being angered by this, she agreed to help them. During the meeting, she received a call from Dubaku explaining that he had Taylor kidnapped and that she should retire the American forces from Sangala if she wanted him to live. Jack convinced the President to let them find her husband, and she agreed.

Renee convinced Jack to involve her boss, Larry. After meeting with him, he fetched the phone records from the deceased agent Brian Gedge. Using this, they found out that another agent, Edward Vossler was probably involved. Renee went to Vossler's house and took his wife and kid hostage, while Jack tracked him with the help of Larry. After forcing him to give Dubaku's location, Vossler drew a knife on Jack but he ended up killed in the struggle. Jack then met with Renee again as they entered Dubaku's new hideout at 12451 Arlington Avenue and eliminated all of his men. However, Jack couldn't stop Elemu, one of Dubaku's men, from shooting Henry Taylor in the chest.

4:00pm-5:00pm


Jack called for an ambulance and they took the First Gentleman away to the hospital. Following a lead from the hard drives on Dubaku's hideout, Jack and Renee went to an apartment, where they encountered Marika and Rosa Donoso. They discovered that Marika was in a relationship with Dubaku, but did not know about his violent past. Renee showed her pictures of what Dubaku had done in Sangala. Since Marika had arranged to meet with Dubaku to leave the country, Jack asked her to go to him so they could track her and find Dubaku. When Dubaku's driver arrived to pick up Marika, Jack and Renee used Chloe's help from the FBI to track her. Chloe's satellite was disabled momentarily when Janis Gold breached the system to see what Chloe was doing. As they continued to track Marika, Jack and Renee were stopped and detained by several policemen who had a warrant issued for their arrest from the FBI.

5:00pm-6:00pm
After Larry Moss managed to clear the matters with the Washington police, Jack and Renee told Chloe to follow traffic cams for Dubaku's location. When they intercepted him, they continued their pursuit. After Dubaku noticed, he ordered his driver to speed up. Marika, still reluctant about going with Dubaku, covered the driver's eyes causing the car to flip over and crash. As Jack and Renee arrived at the scene, the driver walked out of the wreckage and drew a gun on Jack, but he shot him. Jack dragged the injured Dubaku out of the car, while Renee tried to dragged Marika but her leg was pinned in the wreckage. Renee then drew a gun on Jack to coerce him into helping her. However, it was too late since she was already dead.

When paramedics arrived at the scene, Jack ordered one of them to pt a shot of epinephrine on Dubaku to reawaken him. When the paramedic refused, Jack drew a gun on him. As Dubaku opened his eyes, Jack questioned him about the people involved in the attacks, and threatened Dubaku's son if he didn't talk. Dubaku told him that he had a list with incriminating evidence about everyone, but fainted after this. When the paramedics were about to use the shock paddles to revive him, they noticed Dubaku had something under his ribcage. Jack ordered him to open him up and retrieved a memory stick from his body. Jack called Larry and informed him about this and sent the stick with an officer, while he went to the hospital with Dubaku.

While at the hospital, Renee blasted him for his responsibility on Marika's death. Jack reminded her that Marika made a choice and that it helped them capture Dubaku. Renee, unable to deal with the grief and the guilt, screamed at Jack if he ever felt anything, if he had felt anything when Teri was killed. She then slapped him twice and started crying. Jack coldly embraced her but then left her.

As Jack was sitting in front of the United States Capitol, Tony sat beside him and informed him about the lead he was following. He told him that he found out that General Benjamin Juma had an attack planned against an important target in the next few hours. Tony asked Jack for his help, and he agreed. Tony also told him that Blaine Mayer's Chief of Staff, Ryan Burnett was implicated.

6:00pm-7:00pm
Tony drove Jack to the White House, but when Tony offered to help, Jack reminded him that he was still a wanted felon and he would be arrested. Jack also decided not to bring Bill into it. Jack then called Chloe and asked her to delete Burnett's name from Dubaku's list. This would give him enough time to interrogate him before the authorities. After entering the White House, Jack found Bill and held him at gunpoint asking him where Ryan Burnett was. When Bill refused to give him the information, Jack looked it up in the manifest, and knocked Bill unconscious. When he found Burnett, he tortured him with a taser.

When Larry found about Jack's actions, he had Chloe arrested and called President Taylor to inform her that Jack was probably torturing Burnett at that moment. Precisely when Burnett was about to reveal the target to Jack, the President and his guards arrived. Taylor pleaded to Jack to stop what he was doing, but Jack refused. The guards blew the door and had Jack arrested. Saddened, Taylor told him he should've come to him first with the information about the attack.

7:00pm-8:00pm
Bill visited Jack at the holding cell of the White House and briefed him on the latest information. Jack then told Bill that he still had time to interrogate Burnett to find out what the target was. Bill, however, refused to do so and told him Burnett was about to be transferred to a hospital.

When Bill was transferring Jack, they were informed by the FBI that the White House was the target and that Benjamin Juma was already in the building. Bill quickly ordered a lockdown. When Jack told him he could help, Bill uncuffed him and gave him a weapon. As they looked for a way out with the President, they realized that Juma was tracking them with her transmitter. Bill took it off her and went in another direction to confuse Juma and his men, while Jack was left protecting President Taylor.

Jack managed to lead her into the White House's safe room just when Juma's men arrived. Inside, Jack short-fused the door's circuit panel to avoid Juma's men from opening it. However, when Juma found the President's daughter, he threatened to kill her if the President didn't walk out of the safe room. Although Jack tried to prevent her from doing so, Taylor opened the door and faced Juma. Jack was put with the other hostages.

8:00pm-9:00pm
When General Juma ordered President Allison Taylor to read a statement live, Jack informed Bill that he had opened several canisters of CH-4 that were inside the safe room with the intention of sparking an explosion. His original plan was to draw the soldiers fire while Bill secured the President. However, Bill told Jack that he was the only one that could stop the threats and sacrificed himself by grabbing the gun of one of Juma's men, firing it to create an explosion. Jack then grabbed a gun and started killing Juma's men, with the help of Aaron Pierce who went to secure the President and her daughter.

When Jack found Juma, he faked surrendering but instead went for his gun. Jack then shot him repeatedly in the chest. When an FBI tactical team stormed the White House killing the remaining soldiers, Jack sat by Bill's body mourning him. Jack then told Renee Walker that Bill had told him he saw Juma obtaining outside intel from someone on the phone. Jack maintained that Ryan Burnett was now their only lead. Renee informed Larry, but he decided to hold Jack into custody. Ethan Kanin then called Larry and ordered him to let Jack interrogate Burnett, with his supervision.

Larry, reluctantly, took Jack to Kennedy Memorial Hospital. After doctors brought Burnett back from his unconscious state, Jack was allowed in the room, while Larry monitored from the outside. While Jack was interrogating him, a professional hitman, Quinn, hired by Greg Seaton, came through the ceiling and immobilized Jack with a nerve gas. He then slashed Burnett's throat with a shard of glass that had Jack's fingerprints to frame him. Jack regained his movement as Quinn disappeared and after seeing Burnett dead, he deduced they wanted to frame him so he went through the ceiling as well just as Larry stormed in the room. From outside, he called him and told him what had happened.

9:00pm-10:00pm
While fleeing from the police, Jack stole a car that had a laptop inside and got a picture of Quinn from the surveillance camera CD he got at the hospital. He then sent the image to Renee Walker and called her to tell her what really happened. Renee identified the man as a Starkwood employee and suggested him to talk with Senator Blaine Mayer, who had been investigating them for years. She then found out Mayer's home address and sent it to him.

Jack arrived at Mayer's house before he did, and started checking his computer. When Mayer arrived, Jack ordered him to give him access to his Starkwood files. Mayer did and Jack then told him everything that had happened. Mayer was led to believe in Jack after this and after a truthful conversation where Jack revealed how much he regret all the things that have happened to him. When someone claiming to be DC police knocked at Mayer's house, Jack was tempted to flee, but Mayer convinced him to surrender himself and assured him he would help him. When he opened the door, Quinn shot and killed him and started pursuing Jack who escaped through a window.

Jack hid at a nearby construction yard and when Quinn entered a trailer to look for him, Jack used a tractor to flip the trailer with Quinn inside. When he tried to jump out, Jack jumped on him and they started fighting. Eventually, Jack grabbed a screwdriver and stabbed Quinn in the chest, and then knocked him face down with a 2x4 to impale him. While he was on the floor, Jack asked him about the weapons Hodges was expecting, and Quinn told him they had already arrived. Jack then called Tony and told him to meet him at the Port of Alexandria.

10:00pm-11:00pm
Jack met with Tony at the Port of Alexandria at around 10:10pm. After surveying the area, they took the sole guard, Carl Gadsen, hostage and asked to see the port manifest. They then went to the office to find information about the shipments.

When Stokes and his men arrived at 10:25pm to pick up the container with the bioweapon, Jack told Carl to play along so they could spot the container with the bioweapon. When Carl asked Jack if they would protect him, he promised him they would. After they took him to the container area and identified the container, Tony told Jack that they should go to the car to be ready to follow the truck. However, Jack didn't move, intending to hold his promise of protecting Carl. When a terrorist called Cooper was about to execute him, Jack shot him with a silenced rifle. When the rest of the terrorists found out, a shoot-out ensued with Jack taking control of the truck with the weapon. As he drove out of the port, he found out that Tony had been taken hostage. He called Larry Moss and informed him he had the bioweapon and told him to send teams to the port and to a second place where he would drive the truck. While driving, he stopped to check a hissing sound and noticed a big gash on the container. As Jack looked inside, he saw that one of the tanks had been breached and was releasing the chemical, exposing Jack. Seeing he was in a populated area, he held his breath to prevent further exposure and entered the container to close the tank.

As he walked outside, Stokes and his men returned with a helicopter and began firing at him. As he sought cover, they took the bioweapon out of the container with the helicopter. As they flew away, Jack called Larry again and informed him what had happened. He also told Larry that he had been exposed. After Larry told him to sit still, he just waited by the truck for help.

11:00pm-12:00am
When CDC teams arrived at Highway 236, Jack was hosed down and cleaned to treat him for exposition. Dr. Sunny Macer took a blood sample of him and sent it for preliminary tests. As they drove back to the FBI Headquarters, Macer received the results which said that Jack was positively infected although he was not contagious. After arriving at the Headquarters, Renee Walker told him how sorry she was for him. Then she said she had to brief him regarding what he had seen about the bio-weapon.

When Jack saw that Larry Moss and a tactical team were leaving for Starkwood he asked to go. Larry understood his concern but said he wouldn't allow it since they weren't sure when he would start showing symptoms. As Moss and the FBI raided the Starkwood compound, Jack and Renee watched through cameras and saw how they were deceived by Greg Seaton into an ambush by Stokes and other Starkwood men.

12:00am-1:00am
After Larry Moss and his men were ambushed at Starkwood, Jack started revising Blaine Mayer's files and found information about Doug Knowles, chairman of the Board of Directors of Starkwood. Since he was collaborating with Mayer's investigation, Jack thought it might be their only chance and called him. After he agreed to help them, Jack put him in contact with Tony Almeida, who managed to slip into the Starkwood compound. Jack later called President Allison Taylor and informed her of the situation. He assured her that the weapons were there and that they would find them. Since he had seen the canisters, Taylor requested of him to get a visual confirmation before authorizing an air strike on the compound. She also thanked him for his service knowing that he had been infected by the pathogen.

Later, while giving satellite intelligence to Tony and Knowles, Jack collapsed due to the symptoms of the chemical. Dr. Sunny Macer treated him with an injection of pandopamine, which will mask the symptoms. She gave him a package of syringes for him to inject whenever the symptoms resurfaced. She also mentioned some experimental research with prion diseases being carried out at Bryden University which might involve the use of blood from a close relative. When Macer mentioned Jack's daughter as a possible alternative, he quickly rejected it not wanting to get her involved. When Renee Walker insisted, he refused to again.

2:00am-3:00am
Jack was being debriefed by Agent Mizelli about the events of the day, including the intel that Tony had given him about the attack at the White House. Mizelli insisted on Jack remembering if the source's name was Vincent Cardiff to what Jack agreed. During the briefing he started sweating and repeating himself so Mizelli prompted him to take a break. When he saw Renee Walker leaving with a tactical team, he asked her what had happened and she told him about Larry's death.

When Renee was about to take-off in an FBI chopper, Jack got in without warning and told her he would go with her. When she objected because of his illness, he assured her he would stand down if he started showing symptoms. As they arrived to the site and asked to see Larry's body, Jack noticed his gunshot wounds were from a shotgun. While Renee investigated the incident, taking a statement from Tony, Jack questioned the bullets used in the attack; Tony was hit by a 9 mm slug while Larry was hit by two shotgun blasts, suggesting that a second person aided Robert Galvez's escape.

As the FBI teams swept the perimeter, Jack started to suffer another seizure and stood aside to take a shot of pandopamine. Tony watched this and suggested that he should go back to FBI headquarters. He also told him he was sorry about him being infected. At this moment, Mizelli called Jack to verify some discrepancies with his briefing, but Jack hung up on him when they received a call from an agent that was following the suspect.

Galvez, impersonating an agent Stoller through the radio, was trying to lure the agents into a building he had rigged full of explosives. As the agents stormed the building, Jack asked to see the FBI radio transponders onscreen, and noticed Stoller's transponder wasn't even close to the building, and realized it was a trap. As he ran to warn the teams, Galvez blew it up with most of the agents inside. Jack helped some of the injured agents while looking for Renee. As he walked out of the building, he called Mizelli back who told him that Tony's alleged source, Cardiff, wasn't dead as Tony had told him and that he had been captured by customs agents on the border. As Jack realized Tony was behind everything, he went outside to confront him. After Tony placed Galvez, who faked being an injured agent, into an ambulance, Jack drew a gun on him and asked him about Cardiff. When Tony told him it was only a deal he had cut with Cardiff, Jack also brought up the discrepancies with the guns on his testimony, and threatened to kill him himself, if he lied to him. Tony tried to keep him calm telling him that he wasn't thinking clearly. While pointing the gun, Jack started suffering another seizure and collapsed while looking for his syringe pack. As he fell, Tony approached him and showed him the pack that he had took from him. With Jack convulsing on the floor, Tony told him he never wanted to bring him into this and that he had told him to stay out of it. Tony then called some paramedics to tend on Jack as he walked away.
