This article's subject relates to Season 6 of 24.

Darren McCarthy was an employee at defense contractor Elegra Global who sold five Soviet suitcase nukes to Abu Fayed prior to Day 6.

Before Day 6[]

When Dmitri Gredenko supplied former-Soviet nuclear weapons to BXJ Technologies, Graem Bauer hired Darren McCarthy to oversee the dismantling of five of the suitcase nuclear devices. Graem also assigned McCarthy to recycle the bomb's components into nuclear energy production. When terrorist Abu Fayed offered McCarthy $3.5 million to obtain the bombs, McCarthy sold them, but didn't know when Fayed planned on detonating them.

Day 6[]

After a suitcase nuke was detonated in Valencia, Los Angeles, McCarthy deleted his computer files and prepared to flee to Las Vegas, to escape the radioactive fallout of the explosion. When Fayed contacted him and offered him $7 million to find another engineer, McCarthy decided to accept the terms.

Before finding the engineer, McCarthy drove his 2007 Maserati Quattroporte through Los Angeles and picked up his girlfriend Rita Brady, who was unaware of McCarthy's business dealings and wanted to leave the city immediately. When Rita began to demand for answers, McCarthy pulled over and demanded for her to leave. Rita then changed her attitude and realized how much money they would get, if McCarthy went forward with the job. At several points during his drive, McCarthy spoke to a cell phone contact who actively researched an engineer who could be hired or coerced to serve Fayed. McCarthy and his contact ruled out at least one possibility, Taylor Pascal, before determining that Morris O'Brian would be able to do the work. The contact warned McCarthy that O'Brian wouldn't do it willingly, however.
