This article's subject relates to 24: Live Another Day.This is a production article written from an out-of-universe perspective

After losing their best lead, Jack Bauer and Kate Morgan refocus on trying to get information from Simone Al-Harazi, who was injured in a traffic accident. However, Margot Al-Harazi unleashes a full-scale attack in London in order to prevent her daughter from talking. Meanwhile, Steve Navarro sends Jordan Reed to the field on a mission that could end his life. Finally, President Heller decides to confront Al-Harazi.

Synopsis

Previously on 24

  • Margot Al-Harazi threatens London if the President of the U.S. doesn't give himself up.
  • Naveed's sister leaves a voice mail on his phone, which Margot discovers in his dead body, saying she was planning on leaving London. She asks her daughter, Simone Al-Harazi, what she knew about this; she answers she knew nothing. Margot doesn't accept this and tells Simone to do what's necessary.
  • Simone tries to warn Farah Azizan, Naveed's sister, to leave London. Farah doesn't believe her and tries calling the police, but Simone, in an attempt to stop her, accidentally stabs her. Simone apologizes just as Yasmin discovers her mother's murder and flees her house. Simone follows.
  • A Russian representative calls Chief of Staff Mark Boudreau to review the transfer order for Jack Bauer, on which he had forged the President's signature, and expresses his suspicions. Boudreau asks to meet privately.
  • Agent Kate Morgan tells Jack Bauer how people distrust her because of her husband's treason. Jordan Reed of the CIA tells his boss, CIA Head of Station Steve Navarro, about something suspicious he found in the archives. Navarro tells him to hold off, then calls someone about Reed's snooping; his contact warns him about the consequences.
  • Jack Bauer has a plan to bring a contact of Al-Harazi's out to help them. President James Heller authorizes this plan and relays it to the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, whereupon an advisor tells him the President may not be in top medical condition, and takes the matter into his own hands, with MI-5.
  • Jack's plan to trick his contact into helping is interrupted by MI-5. During the firefight, he finishes the operation himself and Chloe gets a phone number: that of Simone's, who runs into traffic and gets hit by a bus.

The following takes place between 5:00pm and 6:00pm.

5:00:00

Simone Al-Harazi is being loaded onto a stretcher and into an ambulance as Yasmin and her neighbor watch. Nearby, a policeman interviews the bus driver about the accident. The driver indicates Yasmin Azizan as being the girl Simone was chasing before she got hit. The policeman approaches Yasmin to talk to her. He asks if she knows the accident victim; Yasmin answers that she killed her mother, Farah Azizan.

At the warehouse, MI-5 are making arrests and collecting the dead. Jack Bauer takes the keys from his car, notices Belcheck under arrest, and takes his knife and cuts him loose. One of the men protests; Jack answers that MI-5 should never have been there. The soldier answers that the Prime Minister sent them, and he can discuss it with President Heller.

Jack asks Kate Morgan how she's doing. She just asks if it was worth it. Jack says they'll know soon; he took the information they got and gave it to Chloe. Chloe calls and says she traced the number to a traffic accident involving Simone Al-Harazi, and she's in bad shape. Jack asks if Margot is there; Chloe says no. Jack asks to which hospital she's going, just as a warning pops up on Chloe's monitor. She looks out the window to see police approaching the mostly empty headquarters of Open Cell, tells Jack it's probably St. Edward's Hospital, hangs up, and leaves. Jack fills Kate in, and they get in the car and take off.

Mark Boudreau explains to President James Heller that the paper in his hand is contact information for Margot Al-Harazi. Heller asks why; Boudreau answers that she's daring him. Heller asks if they can use this to find her; Boudreau says no.

Heller gets a call from Jack and asks if the operation was successful. Jack answers that they're tracing her daughter's whereabouts now; she's headed to the hospital. Heller answers that he plans on authorizing her protection. Jack also asks for cooperation with the British police; Heller grants that, too. Jack adds that MI-5 wasn't supposed to be there; Heller apologizes, saying he found it necessary to involve the PM. Just then the PM himself shows up and Heller hangs up.

Prime Minister Davies enters the room, and Heller immediately starts scolding him for interfering. The PM tries to defend his actions and points out that time is short. Heller insists that he's not just sitting by, and the two of them should be working together. Davies says that's what they've been doing, and normally he trusts Heller's judgment, but suggests Heller's health might be a problem. Heller answers that if he'd believed that, he would have resigned on the spot. Davies apologizes. Heller asks Davies to cooperate from now on, to avoid any more loss of life; Davies agrees.

The medics in the ambulance are working on the unconscious Simone. Simone's phone rings and a medic answers it. He tells Margot about the details and urges her to go to the hospital to talk to the police. She pretends to agree and hangs up before the medic asks her name.

Ian Al-Harazi asks if they know who Simone is and if the finished her mission. Margot asks who they have there. Ian answers that Kareem lives nearby. Margot tells him to send Kareem to see if things are problematic.
